Ok, so this is one paragraph of my paper so far.
] In this paper, I will be discussing: a.) the factors in which social change is influenced by and how social change happens, b.) why students often play a leading role in social change, as well as why some students today are involved in social change and resistance, and why many students today are NOT involved in social change and resistance, c.) strategies and tactics people use to make social change. I also will be addressing on the social factors influencing HOW and WHY social change and resistance occur in contemporary society.

My term paper topic is “why did Charles Martel (leader of the Franks) beat the Muslims in the Battle of Tours?
I can find the importance of the battle and stuff like that, but how did Charles actually win?
It would be great if someone could give me a source that talks about the terrain, moral, strategies employed, weather, weapons, formations, or other little things that could have affected the outcome of the battle.
Thanks in advance. XD

Ive been looking for a while and i cant seem to find any good sources. What problems did they have recruiting? and what strategy did they use to recruit better people? If anyone has any help on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am going to write the SAT on the 6th of october 2007,and i need to know which of the following books is better (that is the book which can be used to acquire or get a higher SAT score than the other).The books are:Cracking the SAT 2008 EDITION and Master the SAT 2006 EDITION.Pls,include the source of the answer and personal experience in relation to the above books,if you have had one.
Also,i want to know the book that simulates the real test better with their practice tests and which one gives more effective or suitable test strategies and tips.
.Thanx.

What strategies local governments businesses, or individual citizens can implement to lessen the negative impact on the environment in his region and help prepare it for a more sustainable future? Are there practical solutions to these problems that can be funded, developed, and implemented locally, or will long-term solutions reuqire assistance form outside sources?

guyz please provide work cited too (source)
THNX!!

i know some of the northern strategies, but i can’t find the info on the south. most textbooks are biased like that. if you can, please provide a source. Thanks!

“PJ believes parents are guilty
Text: Catarina Vaz Guerreiro
Pj is almost sure Madeleine died by accident, by her parents. The chance of overdosis is upon the table.
To the investigators analyzing the disapearance of Madeleine, the responsability of the parents is almost certain. The information was given this week to “T&Q” by a source close to the investigation, that believes all has happened accidentally, avoiding however to tell what could have happened. However, they don’t put away the theory the little girl could have died by an excess of drugs.
Police doesn’t deny, neither confirms that chance. The other hyphotesis raised by the investigation is that the child could have been a violence victim. PJ is based on the stain of blood found in the wall, whose results are very late to arrive to the Police from Birmingham., to where the samples were sent.
Due to this delay, the atmosphere between Police and the Britihs authorities is tense. It’s more than three weeks and nothing. The investigators are starting to fell upset with this delay.
Sedatives
The chance of overdosis is gaining consistency with the information published yesterday by “24 Horas”, pointing out to the use of drugs in order the children could remain asleep while the parents dinned with friends in a close restaurant. That chance was reinforced to this newspaper by an Ocean Club worker. She noticed the couple of twins were always sleeping, while around them there was confusion and noise, provoked by the desperate screams of the parents and the “in and out” of the searches. Not even when they were taken to another room, the children woke up. The British Press slightly implied not only the McCann’s but all the other couples, were given sedatives to the children, in order all parents could rest, because all of them were absent from the rooms. One chance at PJ’s table. It is also necessary to say from the group of nine persons, only three are doctors.
Facing this witness, it becomes plausible also Madeleine has received her dosis, that the parents believed to be inoffensive, but that unfortunatelly, could have been lethal.
Police neither denies nor confrms this information, but they admitted the parents have panicked.
The couple friends, all in England now, didn’t like to know there are news pointing them to suspects in the crime. But truth is, according to a source, the testimonies given to the Police have contradictions. For instance, Diane Webster, 63 years old, present on that dinner, fell in contradiction with the rest of the group by telling Police the other couples weren’t entering in the others’ appartements.
During that dinner, the four couples drunk 14 bottles of wine, while the seven children were sleeping in the rooms. One fo them, according to witnesses was vomiting.
Insisting on the theory the parents are not under suspicion, can very well be a strategy by PJ. A clue this might be true, are the requests made to the couple to not leave the country, as they want to do so.
Prison
Proving their guilty on the crime of homicide by neglect, the two face a penalty till five years in prison. Adding to this is the crime of hiding a deadbody: two years in prison.”

Food vs. fuel a global myth
By Robert Zubrin and Gal Luft
May 6, 2008
In recent weeks, a flood of reports and statements has claimed that the world’s biofuel programs—in particular the U.S. corn ethanol effort—is starving poor people around the globe. Even the UN’s special rapporteur for the Right to Food decried biofuel production as “a crime against humanity.”
It seems so obvious: With so much corn being turned into fuel, food shortages must inevitably result, and biofuel programs must be the cause.
However, that’s completely untrue. Here are the facts.
In the last five years, despite the nearly threefold growth of the corn ethanol industry (or actually because of it), the U.S. corn crop grew by 35 percent, the production of distillers grain (a high-value animal feed made from the protein saved from the corn used for ethanol) quadrupled and the net corn food and feed product of the U.S. increased 26 percent.
Contrary to claims that farmers have cut other crops to grow more corn, U.S. soybean plantings this year are expected to be up 18 percent and wheat plantings up 6 percent. U.S. farm exports are
up 23 percent.
America is clearly doing its share in feeding the world. Agriculture is not a zero-sum game.
There are 800 million acres of farmland in the U.S., and only about 30 percent of it is actually being used to grow anything. As a result of the ethanol program, the corn price received by farmers doubled over the last five years, causing a huge increase in the amount grown in terms of acreage and yield.
The increased demand for food from the hundreds of millions of people in China and India rising out of poverty and moving to a more calorie-rich diet affects the price of food the most.
Second is the price of fuel. Higher fuel prices increase the cost of production, transport, wages and packaging, the main cost of retail food. For example, a $3 box of cornflakes contains 15 ounces of corn that cost 8 cents when bought from the farmer.
So, farm commodity prices have almost no effect on retail prices. But the effect of oil price increases can be huge.
Which brings us to the real culprit: the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. This year, with OPEC-rigged oil prices exceeding $100 a barrel, the U.S. will pay $800 billion for its oil supply, and the world as a whole will pay $3.2 trillion. These figures are both up a factor of 10 from what they were in 1999 and represent a huge regressive tax on the world economy.
In this, biofuels have done more good than damage to the poor.
According to Merrill Lynch analysts, without biofuel programs, the price of oil would be about $13 a barrel higher than it now is. A $13 savings for each barrel could save the U.S. $65 billion in foreign oil payments.
So, rather than shut down biofuel programs, we need to radically augment them, to the point where we can take down the oil cartel.
Congress can make this happen by passing a law requiring that all
new cars sold in the U.S. be flex-fuel vehicles that can run on any combination of gasoline, ethanol or methanol. The technology costs only about $100 per vehicle.
By making America a flex-fuel vehicle market, we will effectively make flex-fuel the international standard. Around the world, gasoline would be forced to compete against alcohol fuels made from a number of sources, including not only commercial crops such as corn and sugar, but cellulosic ethanol made from crop residues and weeds, as well as methanol made from any kind of biomass, coal, natural gas and recycled urban trash. By creating such a fuel market, we can enormously expand and diversify humanity’s fuel resource base, protecting all nations from continued economic bleeding and, indeed, in some cases, starvation.
That, and not blindly accepting the naysayers’ propaganda demanding the preservation of the oil monopoly, should be our course.

China Takes Gold in Methanol Fuel
In 2007 China surpassed Japan as the world’s second largest importer of oil behind the United States. Yet it is not sitting idly by content with increasing oil imports. According to U.S. Methanol Institute President & CEO John Lynn, “China is showing the rest of the world how clean transportation fuels can be made from coal.” Methanol is now a strategic transportation fuel in China and the rest of the world should take note.
