Abstract
This paper discusses the problems, as well as the advantages, that have arisen as a result of electronic or digital banking and commerce. While noting that digital cash brings certain advantages, e.g., increased efficiency and opening new opportunities for business, the paper also discusses how e-cash presents one of the most challenging issues for law enforcement and businesses. The paper explains that criminals, motivated by profit, money launderers, and terrorist organizations try to exploit legitimate banking services to conceal their proceeds and the true purpose of their financial operations. The paper further explains that this could well encourage the worsening of problems with respect to taxation and money laundering. In turn, these problems may alter foreign exchange rates, disturb money supplies, and move economies closer to a financial crisis.
From the Paper
"As the digital world continues to expand, and more of our daily tasks become easier to accomplish when they become part of the cyber landscape, police and intelligence agencies are challenged to an even greater degree than were their counterparts some 10 years ago by an environment where money and information can be moved in the blink of an eye. Doubled blind encryption and e-signatures have replaced traditional paper audit trails, creating a cyber jigsaw puzzle which doesn't exist in a material form; leading investigators to virtual locked doors and empty "vaults" with little hope of identifying the individuals behind the activity."

Abstract
The paper discusses an example of the "international style" of architectural modernism in Le Corbusier's "Villa Savoye", situated in Poissy, France. The paper notes that the "Villa Savoye" is considered to be Le Corbusier's masterpiece, as it was the first building to fully realize all five points of his architectural aesthetic, as elucidated in his landmark work, "Towards A New Architecture". The paper investigates these five points and analyzes the ways in which they contribute to the formal accomplishment of the building.
From the Paper
"He felt that architecture was more than just an engineering feat - it was also an excursion into the realm of visual art, and one that, as such, should uphold the human spirit and the ideals of an era. At the same time, he was against the idea of pure ornamentation in architecture. If a building is merely beautiful and nothing else, chances are great that it will not be useful. To this degree, Le Corbusier emphasized functionality, as well. Both of these realms - functionality and aesthetic pleasure - come to the forefront in Villa Savoye."

Abstract
This paper discusses and summarizes the novel "Native Son" by Richard Wright and looks at how it was a true reflection of the time frame it was set in. The paper contends that, although possibly offensive to some readers, the story is highly relevant and worth studying as a great work of American literature.
Outline:
Introduction
Thesis
From the Paper
"The protagonist and most-discussed character in Native Son is of course Bigger Thomas. Readers know more about Bigger than about any other character, and yet Bigger has a hard time expressing his emotional experience fully and comprehensively. Much of the narrative and dialogue in the book centers around Bigger's struggle to articulate his inner feelings, and his attempts to come to terms with what he has done and what will happen to him. On page 225 the narrator explains: "There was something he knew and something he felt; something the world gave him and something he himself had... and never in all his life, with this black skin of his, had the two worlds, thought and feeling, will and mind, aspiration and satisfaction, been together, never had he felt a sense of wholeness." He had trouble answering the simplest of questions sometimes."

From the Paper
"A main reason for this is that the market for starch and sweeteners is a mature one and the registration of massive profits is rather difficult to achieve. Another reason for the company's limited success onto the international market is given by the nature of their activity. As such, since they operate and process agricultural products, they are directly dependent upon the crops; which are also dependent upon natural conditions, which are then out of Tate & Lyle's control; and floods and droughts massively impact the corporate results. Also, they are highly influenced by price and currency fluctuations and the general economic status within the countries where they operate."

From the Paper
"Given that The Salvation Army's tremendous success is largely due to its ability to respond to the needs of individual communities, one can imagine that it is impossible to delineate one single future direction for the service. For example, Pastor Rideout's response to that question was based on his own experience in the organization. As a result, he believed that The Salvation Army needed to concentrate on developing its youth programs. In addition, he believed that the organization needed to provide additional family service centers and youth centers. Moreover, he sees a need for hygiene and family education in his community."

Abstract
This research paper reviews and examines various studies regarding the phenomenology of drug abuse and addiction in order to gain insight and understanding as to the forces that drive abusive and addictive behavior.
Outline:
Introduction
The Sociology, Psychology and Physiology of Addiction
The Grips of Addiction
From the Paper
"What this study suggests is that even when the individual's physical cleansing of the toxic drug is accomplished, that the psychology of the drug continues to be a catalyst for resuming abusive behavior, and that this behavior can be at a subconscious level, the compulsion that drives the individual back to the drug. In this case, Mark has identified stress as a precipitator to the motivation that causes individuals to resume the pattern of drug use, which leads to addiction because of the physiology associated with addictive drug use."

Abstract
The paper discusses the four dominant functions of management which are planning, organizing, leading and controlling, and in the context of this paper they are applied to the operations of an oil/gas company or organization. The paper notes that these four essential functions of management are critical for the efficient and orderly functioning of any organization, and are even the more critical in a high process-centric business model that oil and gas companies rely on for attaining their strategic objectives.
Outline:
Executive Summary
Planning
Organizing
Leading
Controlling
Summary
From the Paper
"For many organizations that compete in the oil and gas industries, their ability to turn supply chain processes into a competitive advantage is their most differentiated competitive advantage. The use of the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model in the context of planning within many industries including oil and gas is an analytical construct that provides insights into how these series of processes tie into strategic planning (Razmi, Jolai, Hezarkhani, 2008). The development of strategic and tactical plans in many oil and pass companies is also built on the development of innovative new approaches to the exploration, mining or extraction, processing and selling of oil and gas-related products through distribution channels. The role of innovation in the context of the planning process is also critical for the development of long-term differentiation as well. "

From the Paper
"Good managers are able to accomplish a great deal in virtually any environment based on an intuitive sense of what is needed to accomplish organizational goals, but this "seat-of-the-pants" management style will only take a company so far. In truth, timely information about a company's performance as well as its competitors' performance, the environment in which it competes, and current economic trends are just part of the vast array of information that business managers need to remain competitive today. Moreover, there is always the risk of relying on the wrong information or even the right information for the wrong purposes".
