Madame C. J. Walker.

Abstract
This paper explains the fact that Madame Walker, a millionaire who laid the foundation of America's first black plutocratic dynasty, is certainly incredible because she came from poverty, was orphaned at the age of six, and had no formal education. Walker's story is a fairy-tale that inspired an entire generation of black Americans to think beyond their limitations and to have faith in the future. The author points out that Walker created a market niche for black hair-straightening products by creating the amazing "Wonderful Hair Grower" and 23 other products, with annual gross earnings as high as $276,000 in 1917, employing around 3,000 employees, most of whom were females. The paper relates that a documentary film titled, "Two Dollars and a Dream," by Stanley Nelson, chronicles the life and struggles of Walker, the grande dame of personal hair care service and a source of inspiration for millions of women around the world.
From the Paper
"Walker had developed a strict code of conduct for women which was meant to empower females especially blacks. There was a respectable uniform that they were made to wear, consisting of white blouses and long black skirts. These uniforms helped in identification of Walker employees, these salespersons thus became a symbol of entrepreneurship and success for others in the downtrodden black areas. These uniforms also helped lure other females to the workforce and this helped in revolutionizing the way black women saw themselves and their future."

From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.
From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."

Adolescent Delinquency, 2002.
Analyzes two articles on juvenile delinquency: "Is Child Maltreatment a Leading Cause of Delinquency?" by I. M. Schwartz, J.A Rendon, and C.M. Hsieh and "Drug Use and Violent Crime Among Adolescents" by M.P Dawkins.

Abstract
This paper discusses the article "Is Child Maltreatment a Leading Cause of Delinquency?" (I. M. Schwartz, J.A Rendon, and C.M. Hsieh) which appeared in the September 1994 edition of "Child Welfare". The paper shows that the purpose of this article is to connect the methods, discipline and theories of social work with adolescents to the wider field of the influence of government policy on crime. The paper then discusses M.P Dawkins 1997 article, "Drug Use and Violent Crime Among Adolescents" in which the author reports conducting research at a juvenile detention facility.
From the Paper
"What makes this article potentially useful to social-work or psychotherapy practitioners is that its findings are somewhat out of line with the popular view that illicit drugs constitute the main catalyst for youth crime. Dawkins reports that alcohol, which is a controlled but otherwise legal substance, and marijuana, which though an illicit substance is not usually considered a hard drug, are more prominent in the background of a good deal of youth violence and nonviolent offenses. Dawkins develops the idea that youths' use of these two substances also cuts across socioeconomic and ethnic lines, though not necessarily an existing criminal record, as more important predictors of future youthful criminal behavior."

Abstract
The paper comments on an article presented on the evaluation method of testing pain in neonates. The paper "Longitudinal Comparison of Preterm Pain Responses to Repeated Heelsticks" by J.C.Evans et al, concludes that babies above a certain age after conception experience pain in a way that younger, earlier babies don't.
Outline:
Introduction
Are the essential components presented?
Is the problem stated with adequate background?
Is there justification for the study?
Is the problem researchable?

Sample and Setting
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It was difficult to tell if the study was oriented towards the use of a specific type of heel-stick method (the QuickHeel device) or heel-sticks in general. It was clear that there had been a lot of previous study of infant pain with the old, lancet-style heel stick. The authors admitted that this can skew the results. It sounds from the paper as though the old 'slice and bleed' method caused a good deal more trauma."

From the Paper
"In 1994, two professors published the results of their six-year study in American Business. The fact that this would imply that the information and opinions and observations were at least six years old when originally published (assuming the research began in 1988), and are at least 12 years old this year, could have some bearing on the validity of some of their observations. Before considering those observations, a few words about the specifics of the study would be helpful.
The authors tracked the chosen companies from their founding to 1991, using source materials provided by the companies along with..."
