Abstract
This paper explores the similarities and differences in ?AC/DC Blues? and Larsen?s "Passing", and their relation to the representation of female sexuality in African American culture.

" The Harlem Renaissance is the most important period in African-Americans? history. During this period, there were many different and significant social issues and cultures playing crucial roles in history. Many new forms of music, arts and literature are presented.

Abstract
This paper explains that many of the challenges to the strategies of information management (IT) change at the New York City Administration of Children's Services (ACS) are on the organizational level and of specific programs on the strategic level. The author points out that several theorists believe that the most painful part of change is in changing long-standing processes, which involve the management and use of data. The paper relates that the organizational change stages of development, which can not be shortcut, are stability, adaptation, struggle and revolution.

From the Paper
"Mintzberg and Westley (1992) mention the third level being that of "the most concrete level shown, an organization can change its people (their jobs) and its operations, including its machines, architecture, and other facilities the concern of fields such as organizational development and operations management," which speaks to the role of operations research, time and motion studies, and the logistical and tactical approaches people rely on to do their jobs. In the case of the ACS, often individual employees and contributors are left to complete this entire process on their own, without a unified direction in change management coming from their leadership. This results in the inappropriate disposal of patient records, patients' records being lost or misplaced, and a lack of accountability specifically on results.

Abstract
This paper examines how the forces for and against slavery, the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the slave rebellions, the free black issues and the ACS, the abolitionists and the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments greatly affected the issue of slavery through the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. It looks at how all of these actions eventually led to the abolishment of slavery and the creation of civil rights for the newly freed black slaves and how these events and actions will always stand out as a turning point in American history.
From the Paper
"The issues and demographics surrounding slavery were greatly debated at the convention. The states of the deep south wanted it maintained; the North and the middle south was opposed. However, alliances between states kept some of the Northern states voting with the deep south, and any prohibition in new slave imports or import taxes were defeated (USConstition.net at http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_ccon.html). In exchange for a prohibition on export taxes, the South agreed to allowing the slave trade to continue for just 20 more years, and for imported slaves to be taxable. The Civil War, one of the most momentous events in American history, put constitutional government to its severest test as a long festering debate over the power of the federal government versus state rights reached a climax "

Abstract
This dissertation focuses on the doctrine of law that has been laid down by the case of "Salomon v. A. Salomon & Co. Ltd." [1897] AC 22. It explains that, because of the precedence established by this statue, cases involving "Salomon v. A. Salomon" should be watched very carefully by both business entities and employees. It shows how "Salomon v. A. Salomon" has been the main precedent ,and it is thought that it will cast a veil over the personality of a limited company through which our courts cannot glimpse. However, things are not what they seem because the courts can and will move beyond the supposed veil and Salomon v. A. Salomon. Lately, the courts have begun to remove the masks to see what has really been going on.
From the Paper
"Today, even legal experts do not fully agree upon the answer to the universal question of ?What is the law?? The law has always been more than just a set of rules. Throughout history, the law has been more of a philosophic glimpse or a mirrored reflection into the soul of a society?s behavioral limits and their expectations. Even in regard to business law and the oversight of product liability, laws have historically helped to establish what was and was not acceptable and also provided a clear indication of what was fair in the minds of consumers of the time for the manufactures and service providers. Cultural, political, religious and economic events affect the beliefs of our nation and those beliefs help shape the legal structure or system."

Abstract
This paper explains that the FAA regulations strive to protect not only air travelers, but also the staff of airlines and airports. The author reports that the height restrictions and regulations are outlined in the Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77, which specifies that the FAA regional office should receive a supplemental notice at least 48 hours prior to the beginning of all construction or alterations that require notification by the sponsor to the Administrator. The paper describes that the FAA initiated the Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5200-30A to address Winter Operation of Airports by outlining a number of safety requirements, which include snow, ice, and slush.

Introduction
Height Restrictions
Winter Operations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is not a requirement for the Administrator to be notified when the construction or alteration ?would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a city, town, or settlement where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt that the structure so shielded will not adversely affect safety in air navigation." The Administrator does not have to be notified if an antenna structure is not more that 20 feet, unless it effects another antenna structure by increasing its height. Any ?air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing aid, aircraft arresting device or meteorological device."

Abstract
This paper explains that, identifying the best approach to providing the consumers of South Africa with laundry detergents and fabric care products, which meet their unique needs, is a significantly more critical than for most of their Western counterparts. The reason given is because water supply and safety issues in South Africa remain a major health concern and government programs to address this issue have not yet been successful. The author points out that, although the market for soaps continued to be dominated by Lever, Olivine and Colgate-Palmolive, the growing popularity of other toiletry lines created opportunities for large local firms, such as the Central African Pharmaceutical Suppliers (CAPS), and other smaller firms, such as Robins Remedies and Stobard & Wesley, and multinationals like Ponds and Boots. The paper outlines the methodology for the proposed study including (1) focus groups about South African habits and practices to understand consumer needs, behaviors and attitudes in the detergent markets; (2) AC Nielsen share (volume and value) data of the South African detergent market in the past 5 years to determine market size, splits, trends and overall performance by key players; (3) Porter's 5 Forces model to analyze the industry sector; (4) a company analysis of Unilever using data from their annual reports in order to understand marketing spending, trends and overall investment strategies and (5) an evaluation of successful marketing campaigns and strategies in markets with similar market demographics by other leading detergent companies to understand winning formulas in other markets.

From the Paper
"In researching the South African detergent industry and its growth potential one cannot discountenance the impact of the huge Unilever conglomerate in the market. The South African detergent industry is one of the most established in the developing world, dating back to 1887 when William Lever, the founder of Lever Brothers, registered the Sunlight trademark. His first visit to South Africa in 1895 was to an under-developed country crippled by drought with poor communications and few skills. However, he believed products would ultimately be manufactured locally. Initially, this was not viable as tariffs on imported vegetable oils were considerably higher than those on imported soaps. As a result, consignments of Sunlight, the first wrapped and branded soap, were shipped to South Africa. From 1912 to the late 80's the detergent industry in South Africa grew driven by massive investments by the Unilever company."
