Abstract
This paper reviews the history of the motorcycle helmet laws in the United States of America, with specific focus on the state of Kentucky.
The motorcycle helmet laws have undergone various changes, adaptations and then finally abandoned, since the original law was passed in the early 1970s.
From the Paper
"Motorcycle helmets do provide the very best protection to riders from fatal head injuries when they are riding a motorcycle, and meet with a crash. However, only the law can increase helmet usage among the general population, and therefore, it must be stated that the laws governing motorcycle usage must be more stringent and strict. Accordingly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or the NHTSA ensures the safety of motorcyclists by requiring that all states follow the rule that states that all motorcycle riders must wear helmets. Statistics reveal that in the year 2002 alone, 3,244 motorcyclists died and a further 65,000 individuals were injured in crashes involving motorcycle riders in the United States of America. In the same way, it must be noted that an unhelmeted motorcyclist is 40% more likely to suffer from a fatal head injury than a helmeted person. This means that helmet usage can reduce the risk of fatality by about 37%. (Laws, Motorcycle Helmet Laws)."

Abstract
The paper relates how the motorcycle helmet laws have raised different ideas regarding how governments should police individual behavior. On one hand, government advocates argue that the enforcement of helmet laws is a public safety issue. Many motorists, however, believe that helmet laws interfere with personal decisions and should be seen as unconstitutional. The paper discusses these arguments and reveals that it is in society's greater financial interest to prevent as many motorcycle injuries and fatalities as possible. The paper concludes that the government should re-institute and enforce mandatory helmet laws throughout the United States.
From the Paper
"Motorcyclists who challenge the state mandatory helmet laws have often been portrayed as reckless thrill-seekers. They are seen as irresponsible rebels who relish danger. However, this stereotype downplays many helmet law opponents' valid concerns.
"Sonny Pinard, a biker based in Port Charlotte, Florida, believes that "people are grown adults, and they're old enough to make their own decisions" (qtd in O'Donnell). For riders like Pinard, the motorbike is the ultimate representation of freedom. A helmet is therefore a negation of the bike, a symbol of constraint."

From the Paper
In recent years, a controversy has arisen over the issue of whether or not motorcycle riders should be required by law to wear helmets. Those who favor such laws claim that helmets help to reduce the occurrence of head injuries in motorcycle accidents. As such, it is argued that the use of helmets helps in reducing the number of deaths and disabilities which are caused by such injuries. Those who are opposed to mandatory helmet laws claim that the motorcycle rider cannot see or hear properly while wearing a helmet. In addition, the opponents of laws mandating helmets argue that they have a right to freedom of choice in the matter. It is argued that the government has no right to legislate on this issue, and that any attempt to do so is an infringement of personal liberties.
At this time, the controversy over motorcycle helmets is ... "

From the Paper
"Beginning on January 1, 1992, motorcycle riders in California had to wear helmets or risk receiving a moving violation citation. The helmet law was controversial on several fronts, with hard-core motorcycle riders concerned about the loss of freedom that goes with not wearing a helmet, helmet manufacturers interested in an increase in sales and insurance companies concerned both that the helmet law would reduce the seriousness of injuries received by riders while increasing the number of product liability cases that were filed against manufacturers of helmets. This research examines the motorcycle helmet law and considers its economic effects both to individual riders and to society as a whole.
At the heart of the controversy surrounding the helmet law is where an individual's personal freedom to enjoy a leisure activity.."

"Pioneers who filtered through Cumberland Gap strayed west down the Ohio River came with the starry-eyed dream of settling in a new Eden (Berry, 1991). They entered a land effervescing with fresh unpolluted water, planting a fresh agrarian economy on virgin soil, and in a forest of a seemingly unlimited timber supply. The nomenclature of Kentucky is highly meditative of these facts (Berry, 1991)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of how an international franchise copes with the speed at which international business and trade are growing. The paper examines the story of a simple American idea (Kentucky Fried Chicken) that became a popular domestic franchise and grew at a phenomenal pace. The Japanese franchise of Kentucky Fried Chicken is presented, and a number of options of how to deal with the rapid changes in the international market, are outlined. The paper offers a possible solution for continued and improved success of Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan.
From the Paper
"The most obvious transformation has taken place within the franchise field (which is really nothing more than a distribution system), where new organizational structures and international goals and desires are challenging managers to develop innovative constituency relationships. The idea of managerial constituencies is not a new one, and academic literature as far back as 1958 suggests that the manager has multiple obligations to multiple interest groups that include, but are not limited to, subordinates, superiors, fellow managers, stockholders and other financial stakeholders, and the local and global community (Schell & Marmer-Solomon, 1997)."

Abstract
Few issues transcend all economic, educational, ethnic, occupational, political, religious, and social lines and impact all individuals, either directly or indirectly. Poverty is one such issue, affecting all individuals and society, both economically and non-economically. The paper shows that the main causes of poverty are relatively simple to identify, i.e., lack of affordable housing, lack of high-paying jobs for lower and middle class wage earners, rising unemployment, etc. However, few effective and viable solutions to eliminating and/or reducing poverty have been identified and implemented. This paper analyzes and examines the multitude of issues related to African-American poverty in Kentucky, United States. This paper concludes with ways to eliminate and reduce poverty among minority groups in Kentucky and poverty in general.
From the Paper
"Clearly poverty among Blacks/African-Americans in Kentucky and poverty in general is a persistent and severe issue. There are several possible ways to eliminate and/or reduce poverty among Blacks/African-Americans in Kentucky and among individuals in general. One potential solution to hunger and poverty is to strengthen Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the federal safety net program for low- or no-income families that allows states flexibility to design and implement its own TANF plan. Another possible solution is to increase the educational and employment opportunities available to individuals currently living in poverty as well as individuals at risk of becoming impoverished. By taking a proactive stance regarding poverty and offering individuals affordable educational and employment opportunities, there is potential to break the cycle of poverty."

From the Paper
"Aside from being the leading motorcycle provider in the Hollywood movie making industry and being able to develop successful business partnerships with several providers, Triumph's activity could also take a positive turn now that the Asian producers have registered lower revenues and less satisfactory feed-back from the customers. During the past years, the Japanese motorbike producers have proved incapable of satisfying the growing needs of their customers. Triumph could avail itself of this situation by launching new products on the market, products that not only feed the nostalgia of the middle-aged men, but also fast motorbikes that regain the "race-winning reputation"."

Abstract
This paper examines the historical background of the Pennsylvania "Kentucky" Flintlock rifle. The paper describes the rifle's appearance, explores its origins, looks at its different purposes and uses throughout history, describes how it works, and explains why it is one of the most sought-after firearms by gun collectors.
From the Paper
"As was the usual practice, the Pennsylvania "Kentucky" flintlock was often handed down from father to son, due to being a rather expensive weapon which could sometimes cost half a year's wages. In Colonial America, before and after the American Revolution, this weapon was considered a man's most important possession, not only for its killing power but also for its beauty and artistic renderings. Designed primarily as a hunting rifle, the "Kentucky" flintlock also "put many a British soldier in an American grave" (Ross, 158). For today's gun collector, the "Kentucky" flintlock is perhaps the most sought-after firearm. A classic specimen is stocked in native American tiger stripe maple, and one from the Colonial "transition" period (1715-1775) in a plain grain of maple, walnut, cherry or birch can command a huge sum."
