From the Paper
"Because much of Guangdong relies on the Pearl River and Pearl River delta for water, the Xijiang, Beijiang, Dongjiang, Hanjiang, Rongjiang and Moyangjiang Rivers that combine to form the Pearl River, are equally as important. Since residents of Guangdong rely heavily on these rivers, the cleanliness of the water is extremely vital to their well-being. However, the scarcity of clean water remains a great problem here for many rural residents. The lack of clean water leads to a shortage of clean drinking water. This is a significant problem because a large amount of the water consumed by the general public is dirty water.This problem exists due to a couple of reasons. It is important to understand the source of the problem. Therefore, the main question is how is the water contaminated? "

Abstract
This paper examines how since the Classical period Greek cities had spread unevenly along the coast of Asia Minor, drawn by opportunities for trade, excellent harbours and the region?s natural wealth. It looks at how the cities provided the administrative framework for Roman rule and how Roman technology and culture, itself influenced by Greek thought, influenced the Hellenistic culture which responded by adapting the new influences to traditional patterns. It explores how the cities adapted their competitive strategies to include the imperial presence and how the imperial authorities responded by attempting to control competition.
From the Paper
"The widespread growth of the Corinthian order seen in imperial architecture and the rapid replacement of Doric stoas by Ionic or Corinthian colonnades may also be due to regional developments, rather than direct Roman influence. It was already established in several Anatolian cities and it seems to have been favoured by Hellenistic kings (Waelkens 1989, 79-80). Its success may be due to several factors. There was a local general taste for richer architecture, itself a reflection of the provinces? increasing wealth (Waelkens 1989, 80). The architectural embellishment and increasing formalisation of public spaces suggests that they were a showcase of civic pride and a reflection of the competitive environment of Asia Minor (Waelkens 1989, 81)."

Abstract
This paper argues that one of the major reasons for China's incredible growth since its opening in 1978, is due to the substantial influx of foreign direct investment (FDI). The gradual opening up of China to FDI, coupled with a large array of benefiting economic factors such as preferential policies, low labor costs, access to neighboring markets with similar culture/language etc., has resulted in unimagined investment and resulting growth. The paper shows that in this process FDI, has positively improved and/or contributed to total investment, technology transfer, employment, foreign exchange reserves, management know-how, competition, new industries and tax revenue.
The paper includes a chart.
Table of Contents:
I. Introduction
II. Overview of FDI Trends
Sources of FDI
Geographical Distribution
Reasons for Investment and Preference for Investment on the Coast Business Forms of FDI

From the Paper
"In all these cases, the liberalization process was carefully developed by only allowing access to certain sectors and geographical areas. Today there are still limitations of foreign investment in which the Government deems such sectors as "strategically" important. Such sectors or projects include airport development, nuclear power plants, oil and gas, subways, communications, printing etc. In many cases foreign investment is restricted to an equity share that is less than 50% (Tseng and Zebregs, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the Emperor Claudius contribution to the Romanisation of western provinces, focusing mainly on Gaul and Britain. The main methods he used to do this are discussed, including extension of citizenship, the use of Imperial cult, the presence of the Roman army, and conquest. The paper also makes an assessment of Claudius' policy as emperor.
From the Paper
"A fundamental aspect of Romanisation which underpinned most emperor's actions was their expansionist nature . With Claudius the most obvious indication of this is his conquest of Britain. However, the process of conquest and colonisation took off under Augustus 'the mere maintenance of order did not fulfil the ambition of the princeps or justify his mandate. There was hard work to be done in the provinces and on the frontiers.' Syme refers to the tendency of Augustus and subsequent Emperors to justify their rule by taking on new territory. There is much emphasis in the Res Gestae placed on the military successes of Augustus. Claudius too used this feature in conquering Britain, and in doing this 'he believed he had carved for himself a niche in the edifice of history.'"

Louis Riel, 2006.
This paper describes the achievements of Louis Riel in establishing the province of Manitoba.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, £ 18.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents a letter explaining what Louis Riel did for this nation in the middle 1800s. The paper describes how he became a national hero for a lot of people in the world and of course mostly for the Canadians. The confrontations he had with the government from that time took him to really hard times; he had to run away and then he gave his life for the community, Metis and their own beliefs and culture. His ideologies were based on respect and equality for all the people in a province. The paper concludes that thanks to him, Manitoba became a province in Canada.
From the Paper
"I believe that without the Louis Riel legacy, Manitoba would not be the powerful and rich province that it is now. So many facts had to happen thanks to Riel, so Manitoba could stay with it's own roots and continue through the history and be at this moment one of the most important places in this nation. We as citizens of this country should realize that this province became part of the Canadian Confederation because Riel negotiated on a provisional government after leading two resistance movements against the former government of Canada, fighting for the Metis people's rights to keep alive his traditions and culture."

Abstract
This paper examines the Kyoto Accord, an international treaty among signatory countries to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by their industries if their neighboring countries do likewise. In particular, it looks at how, in 1997, the federal government of Canada signed the Kyoto Accord, which committed it to cutting emissions of greenhouse gases to six percent by 2012 and how the province of Alberta, which produces the majority of Canada?s oil and gas, opposed the Treaty, as it would significantly cripple its energy industry and deprive it of billions of dollars.
From the Paper
"Global warming has disturbed nature at an alarming rate and ways. It has already reduced the depth of winter polar ice cap since the 1970s by 40% (Green), which threatens to render polar bears to become extinct if the condition continues. Almost all glaciers are fast retreating, and this accelerates the heating effect. With more heat, there is more energy in the atmosphere, and, therefore, more bad weather. More heat will also redistribute rains. There have been many disasters throughout the world due to inclement weather. Droughts are another consequence of disturbed weather, and droughts have occurred in Canada. Monsoon rains, on which depends Asian agriculture, no longer come regularly because of this imbalance."

From the Paper
"The civil war in Ethiopia involves a fight for independence by the province of Eritrea, and this war began in 1961. At that time, the central government in Addis Ababa, then the government of Haile Selassie, broke a United Nations sponsored autonomy plan for the region. Eritrea is the triangular northernmost province of Ethiopia. It is dominated by a range of mountains that flattens out to form the Barka Plains in the west, with an arm of the Danakil depression one of the hottest regions on earth extending in a southeasterly direction, along the Red Sea.
