Abstract
The paper probes the dominant and prevailing maritime issues that Saudi Arabia faces and considers some means by which a holistic approach could improve management of Saudi Arabia's significant maritime resources. These include important shipping lanes, offshore energy deposits, bountiful marine environments potentially ripe for aquaculture development and even the possibility of desalinization plants to produce freshwater in a predominantly desert nation. The paper explains how the preservation of effective management of these resources will produce long-term development and economic benefits for the nation, as well as help the nation preserve its maritime heritage for generations to come.
Outline:
Introduction
The Extent of the Maritime Sector for Saudi Arabia
Maintaining Peak Efficiency
Unique Regional Security Concerns
Importance of Environmental Integrity
Adopting European Clustering
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia is not a nation whose fate has been historically associated with the oceans. Images conjured of Saudi Arabia will involve oil fields and vast deserts. At first blush, there seems little reason to even consider a maritime policy for the nation, let alone a rational and holistic one that incorporates information from many maritime interests and successfully coordinates policy decisions for all. This is a misconception. In fact, Saudi Arabia has an intimate and strategic relationship with two major oceanic routes: the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. As the importance of these routes is certain to grow in the coming years and decades, it is important for Saudi Arabia to consider today the means by which a sensible maritime policy can be devised and implemented."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The main economic strength within the nation is oil. The nation currently possesses over 260 billion barrels of oil reserves which equals almost one quarter of the world's total petroleum reserves (Saudi Arabiahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia#Politics).
While oil continues to be its largest economic strength the nation is trying to diversify its economy. This means it is an opportune time to go into business in Saudi Arabia. The country invested more than $25 billion to build a city called King Abdullah Economic City"(Saudi Arabiahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia#Politics) . The city is currently under construction which provides many business opportunities both in its completion and in its maintenance once it is completed."

From the Paper
"For centuries festivals in Japan have been more a way of life than a mere reason for celebration. While many of the popular festivals in Japan are based on long standing legends others celebrate the coming and passing of the seasons. Festivals in Japan are a time to relax with family members, a time to eat and drink and a time to celebrate Japan's rich spiritual culture.
They range from the bizarre - at Kanamara Matsuri the locals parade a large pink penis up and down the main street - to the spectacular - during the Cherry Blossom festival parks across Japan become awash in a sea of pink blossoms."

Abstract
The writer examines racial issues in her hometown of Pittsburgh City, Pennsylvania. The writer is married and works at a local school while studying online. The paper discusses examples of racial communities in the city, such as the Jewish-American, African-American, Irish- American, Italian-American, German-American and Eastern European communities. The writer has experienced no racial tension or incidents that she is aware of. The paper concludes that, despite its immigration history, political issues, educational issues, community leaders and the various media, Pittsburgh has not been confronted with major issues on race relations and discrimination.
From the Paper
"The various media have proliferated in Pittsburgh without discrimination and bias towards race. Pittsburgh is the home of the world's first commercial radio station, the first non-commercial television station, the first "networked" television station, and "mid-western" newspaper (Wikipedia 2006). It is one of the few middle-sized metropolitan areas in the US with two major daily newspapers, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and which both have received Pulitzer Prizes and have produced investigative news stories on a national scale."

Arizona's Water Shortage, 2007.
This paper examines the water resource shortage in the state of Arizona.
1,180 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that in Arizona, the rapid population growth and economic expansion has increased concerns about future water supplies in an already drought-plagued area. The paper describes how the city of Las Vegas has measures that restrict outdoor watering of plants and cars, filling hot tubs and swimming pools and that restrict professional car-washing businesses to four days a week. The paper highlights the real economic damage to construction companies, tourist destinations and other businesses that are economically vital to the area. The paper offers ideas to encourage conservation measures, especially in agriculture.
From the Paper
"A review of these restrictions demonstrates how droughts are not merely an irritant to persons wishing to have beautiful gardens and pools, but can cause real economic damage to construction companies, tourist destinations, and other businesses that are economically vital to the area. Also, droughts have caused resentment between cities, such as Las Vegas and Tuscan, which have active water conservation programs, and rural communities that do not place similar burdens on residents and farmers. Councilman Louie Trujillo of Las Vegas said it was unfair that city residents had to conserve their water rural areas place no such restrictions during droughts. 'We would like more cooperation from our neighbors.'"

Abstract
This paper discusses military intelligence. The paper relates military intelligence to the use of the geographic information system or GIS. According to the paper, GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing and displaying geographically referenced information.
From the Paper
"The next article to consider is GIS or geographic information system. A GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information; that is, data identified according to location. Practitioners also define a GIS as including the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system (USGS 2006)). GIS is considered a new and trailblazing technological application that aids in "scientific investigation, resource management and development planning. The power of a GIS comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context and to reach a conclusion about this relationship. Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference, placing that information at some point on the globe. This is done by using a location reference system, such as longitude and latitude, and perhaps elevation. (USGS 2006))" For example, if a commander wants to know the trending of movements of a particular insurgent group in Iraq, the intelligence gathered-strength, disposition, mobility and times of activity-can be input in the GIS and with another trend and analysis application, an analysis can be made on where they are going and how soon can they get there."

Oslo Peace Process, 2007.
This paper discusses the rise and fall of the Oslo Peace Process between Israel and the PLO.

Abstract
In this essay, the writer notes that there is consensus from academic as well as popular sources that the Oslo peace process ended in failure. However, as this study discusses, the perceived intentions and aims of the Oslo Accords were not always seen by the different parties as a formula for the complete cessations of all conflict and disagreements. This paper provides an overview of the Accords and explores the central reason for the failure of these Accords. Another aspect that is touched on is the relative paucity of analysis of the lessons that have been learnt from the failure of Oslo. The writer concludes that there is little doubt that a central aspect that contributed to this failure was loss of faith and trust in the process and fundamentally a suspicion of intention from various quarters.

Introduction
A Brief Background of the Oslo Accords

The Promise and Failure of the Oslo Accords

From the Paper
"However, as this study discusses, the perceived intentions and aims of the Oslo Accords were not always seen by the different parties as a formula for the complete cessations of all conflict and disagreements. Nevertheless the hope and confidence that was publicly displayed and engendered by the Oslo Accords not only failed in terms of the goals and time constraints but also failed to a large extent to create a more promising environment for the solution of the Israeli-Palestinian problem."
"There are a plethora of debate, studies and dissertations which deal with the aspects that resulted in the demise of the Oslo Accords."

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, 2007.
An assessment of the impact of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the 2005 hurricane season proved to be particularly intense and damaging. Hurricane Katrina caused a breech of levees and massive flooding and losses in New Orleans. Hurricane Rita was also almost as intense as Katrina but luckily did not cause as much damage. In particular, the paper looks at how it is important to recognize that hurricane preparedness is essential to minimizing the damage caused by hurricanes and how, given the margin of error in hurricane forecasting, the damage may not always materialize but failure to act on a hurricane warning could prove to be much more costly in life and property losses. This paper assesses the impact of Katrina and Rita in order to study Hurricane emergency response and what needs to be done to produce a response that would minimize loss of life and property.

"The orbiting and geostationary satellites take visual and infrared photographs. The infrared photographs measure the temperature of the surface below it; the sea, the earth, the clouds etc. The temperatures are color coded for identification. The visible photographs provide information about cloud cover. As indicated by the solar radiation reflected by the clouds. These pictures determine the temperature of the ocean water, circulation patterns and the height of the cloud. The ground radars and buoys transmit weather data every hour to the weather data collecting stations. These factors help in forecasting the cyclones (hurricanes). "

Abstract
This paper provides a history of Phoenix, Arizona, with a breakdown of its population, economy and resources. It particularly focuses on how well the city has adapted to its arid geography. It discusses how the residents of Phoenix have come to grips with their scarce water resources and then analyzes how compatible the city's economic activities are with these arid land constraints. The paper concludes by discussing the various types of socio-cultural organizations that have emerged in response to these ecological conditions and the future outlook for Phoenix.

Socio-Cultural Organizations in Phoenix
Future Prospects for Phoenix
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The same features that have historically attracted new residents to Phoenix can be reasonably expected to remain important to the city's growth in the future. In fact, given the rapidly retiring Baby Boom generation, it may well be that Phoenix becomes one of the five largest cities in the United States over the next 10-20 years. This growth rate is assuming, of course, that the water problems looming large on the horizon for the city can be solved today, because tomorrow will be too late. According to Mack and Varady (1995), "When examining water management, particularly in an urban setting, key issues include quantity (water supply), sewerage (water and waste removal), and quality. All three subjects bear directly on human health, and all are closely interrelated" (8)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, until the nation's defeat in WWII, residents of Japan lived under the absolute rule of an emperor as the head of the government with members of the royal monarchy in-charge of the various governmental and societal functions. The author points out that, after the nation's defeat in WWII, U.S. General Douglas MacArthur helped reorganize the governmental structure into a constitutional democracy with the emperor as a figurehead. The paper indicates that some Japanese traditions, such as keiretsu and guaranteed lifetime employment, are being eroded as Japan becomes more westernized. The paper includes many long quotations.

History

Comparing Japan to the USA
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the differences between Japan and the United States is the percentage of national budget that is dedicated to military defense operations. While the United States has a relatively high contribution of its national budget that goes to the military defense fund, Japan dedicates approximately one percent of its GPD to the same cause. Instead, it has focused its funding on advancing its technology knowledge which put it at the head of the pack for several decades in designing and selling products that are technology based. "
