Abstract
This paper studies how plate tectonics and fault line movement are impacting the shape of the California coastline. The paper begins with a discussion of how plate tectonics have changed the earth's surface, including through earthquakes. Then the paper turns to one of the most famous major fault lines, the San Andreas fault. The paper examines its historical, current and future influence on California, such as the major earthquakes of the 1800s and 1900s. The paper concludes with a discussion of other fault lines, including active and inactive ones.
From the Paper
"Plate tectonics is responsible for the building of mountain ranges, the separation of continents through creation of new crust when the seafloor spreads as new lithospheric material pushes out of rifts on the ocean floor, and for earthquakes and volcanic activity (including the creation of volcanic islands and mountain ranges). The regions where the action of plate tectonics is most discernible is where adjoining tectonic plates are most active: pressing into each other, sliding over or under each other, sliding past each other. This activity usually takes place at a geologic pace--that is, so slowly that it escapes the notice of short-lived creatures such as human beings. Humans are unlikely to see mountain ranges forming or continents drifting apart. When two great tectonic plates, such as the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, move relative to each other along the Pacific coast at an average rate of 2 inches a year, who would notice? But the these gigantic plates do not move only by drifting or creeping at such an imperceptible pace. As they mash into each other, portions of their adjoining edges get hung up or frozen in place for years at a time, even for centuries or thousands of years. The pressure on these junctures finally gives way as much larger movements which humans perceive (can hardly ignore!) as earthquakes."

Abstract
The paper relates that Carnival Cruise Lines is the largest and most successful cruise line in the world. The paper provides a brief history of Carnival Cruise Lines and analyzes their image design.

Outline:
A Brief History of Carnival Cruise Lines
Image Design: Visual Identity and Integrity
Processes, Policies, Community Involvement: Building an Image
From the Paper
"A press release detailing history of the cruise line states that Carnival began in 1972 with a converted transatlantic ocean liner called the T.S.S. Mardi Gras. Given that the cruise line was later to enter into a controversial contract with the federal government to provide shelter in some of its cruise ships to Hurricane Katrina evacuees, this name seems ironic in retrospect. (Weisman, 2005) The mission of Carnival's founder Ted Arison was to make the elite mode of travel aboard large luxury vessels, a "vacation experience once reserved for the very rich," now "accessible to the average person."

Abstract
Over nearly half a century since the American Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education, the segregation and racism, defined by the color lines, have been broken down in the South. The paper defines the color lines of the South. It shows that the Outer Color Line was designed to keep blacks from enjoying any of the same rights white people did even though they were citizens. The Intermediate Color Line, based on economics, was drawn to further prevent blacks from shrugging their status as second class citizens. Finally, the paper shows that the Inner Color Line was a line drawn so that even if equality could be reached and the only difference in the two groups was skin color, blacks and whites could still not intermingle. The paper discusses how the lines were broken down by the Civil Rights Movement over a period of 20 years. Finally, the paper discusses the role presidential elections played in removing these lines from the American South's society. A graph is included in the paper.
From the Paper
"Based solely on the color of their skin, a sharp line was drawn between two groups of people. On one side of this, those with white skin were placed. On the other, people with black skin could be found. This line, one drawn to show the superiority of whites, was separated into three lines for blacks. The first line, or the outer line, was a thickly drawn line designed to keep blacks the second class citizens in the nation. The intermediate line was drawn to keep whites and blacks from intermingling. Finally, an inner line was drawn to show that even if skin color was the only separation, blacks and whites could not have friendships. In the 1950s and 1960s, these lines began to crumble when the Civil Rights Movement took them head on."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Disney Cruise Lines. The paper focuses on the company's marketing strategies and discusses possible improvements. According to the paper, in suggesting improvements to Disney's Cruise Lines marketing strategies, the potential for greater levels of integration with the core branding of Walt Disney Company needs to first be considered.
From the Paper
"Fifth the Disney Cruise Lines need to underscore safety and security in their cruising activities and programs. The cruise line had several instances of dozens of passengers getting ill during 2005, and this did have a temporary but significant effect on earnings according to Citigroup (2006). The cruises through the Mediterranean are also potentially risky as the areas the Disney ships, icons of American influence, will need to be protected or at least managed carefully in foreign waters and will need to be very cognizant of local political conditions before setting sail for a foreign port.

From the Paper
"Carnival Cruise Lines has branded itself as the "fun" cruise line where fun is the main priority and the amenities are second. During Carnival's inaugural voyage at its founding, its converted transatlantic liner ran aground on a sand bar. It was due to this mishap that the management gave everybody free drinks. The observation was that everybody had "fun" and thus, began Carnival's legacy of the "Fun Ships" ("Power"). Carnival never wavered from its commitment to its brand and expanding its brand equity. Based on Carnival's research most people go on vacation to have fun. Having this information influenced its designing of their ships. Carnival clearly spends more money on asthetics then comfort, spending 25% - 30% less on beds than their competitors. Carnival feels that spending this amount on the bells and whistles offered a better return on investment (ROI)."

Intravenous Lines: Heparin vs. Saline, 2002.
This paper reviews studies which compare the use of heparin flush solutions to normal saline flush solutions for IV lines.

Abstract
This paper discusses many studies and finds that saline was as effective as heparin in maintaining patency, preventing phlebitis and increasing the duration of peripheral intravenous lines. The author concludes that using normal saline rather than heparin as a flushing solution improves the quality of patient care by eliminating problems associated with anti-coagulant drug use and drug incompatibilities. The author also concludes that it is time saving in terms of nurse-hours needed and is cost-effective.
From the Paper
"According to LeDuc (1997), reports in the literature support the use of a normal saline solution for maintaining patency in peripheral intermittent intravenous devises in adults, but the data regarding its use in children is very limited. LeDuc thus designed a study to examine the effects of a heparin flush compared to a saline flush in maintaining the patency of infusion devices in pediatric patients, and to examine the cost saving implications of the treatments."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the film "Behind the Lines" and looks at soldiers that are all victims of World War I. The writer discusses that the film implies that the soldiers are also all victims of the folly of the previous generation of European leaders. The writer describes that the film, in chronicling the rehabilitation of British soldiers, thus makes a case that the 'war to end all wars' was actually a class-based war, waged by the rich for the sake of preserving their way of life, that killed both the next generations, of rich and working-class young men. The writer concludes that whether one agrees or disagrees with its historical assessment, the film's accuracy in terms of the literature and incidents it cites, gives it an ideological weight.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Although the film is set behind the battle lines, the presence of the futile 'no man's land' is present in the minds and the images of the entire film. The film is structured in a serious of flashbacks, flashing from wartime past to present, from present to the childhoods of the young men. The ever-present tyranny of the aristocracy is underlined by the location of the film, a Scottish Castle that was used as a military hospital for wounded officers. This is based upon an actual wartime 'truth,' namely that such old relics of the past gentry were used as hospitals. The image also creates a poignant and pointed backdrop that underlines the main themes of the film visually, namely that the beauty of such old ways of life was not worth the tremendous suffering used to preserve such a way of living."

Abstract
This paper discusses emerging fault lines, specifically the effects of the uneven population growth in Alberta. According to this paper, the provincial government needs to address the problem through subsidizing local governments public services. In fact, the Canadian Health Services Transfer (CHST) is the largest federal transfer program to the provinces and territories. Payments are made under the authority of the Fiscal Arrangements Act and target specific areas: health care, post-secondary education, early childhood development and social assistance and social services.
From the Paper
"The Marxist model of development makes the assumption that every nation "would progress through a sequence of modes of production, with some countries in the lead and others bringing up the rear" (Mitchell). However, what Karl Marx did not anticipate is globalization and its effect on contemporary economic systems, specifically the potential for uneven population growth. When it comes to political agenda in Canada in the 21st century, both federal and provincial governments are paying closer attention to the needs and wants of Canada's major cities."

Euthyphro: Reading Between the Platonic Lines, 2002.
An analysis of Plato's "Euthyphro".

Abstract
An in-depth look at Plato's "Euthyphro" and the type of communication that exists.The author reveals the ideas about piety and argues that many lessons are taught in a way that is not necessarily dialectic and are rather left for the reader to conclude.
From the paper:
"Plato, in Euthyphro, both understood and utilized this concept in crafting dialogue. In Euthyphro, Euthyphro, a theologian, explicitly defines piety four times. Socrates disproves him each time and adjures him to provide a superior definition. Yet Euthyphro eventually tires of discourse and exits still proud of his knowledge even after retreating from every definitional position. With a cursory read, the reader is left to conclude that Euthyphro is ignorant of piety. However, Plato?s pedagogical intent was not to indict a historical figure. Rather, Socrates, though refuting Euthyphro?s statements, leaves other potential responses untouched. In turning to this unassailed domain of ideas, a clear theme emerges: Plato intentionally leaves thoughts implicit for the student?s benefit."
