Abstract
This paper argues that international parental abductions are an especially pernicious act which does a great deal of harm emotionally to children. The paper examines the issue by assessing the consequences of parental abduction upon all of the parties involved - but especially the children who have been uprooted from their familiar surroundings.

From the Paper
"International Parental Abduction: A Review and Assessment The Problem There can scarcely be any doubt that international parental abduction has become a very serious issue in contemporary society. As more and more families fall apart and as the divorce rate continues to climb, the likelihood that a child will become caught up in something like this grows as well."

Abstract
This paper discusses the works "The Large Bathers" by Paul Cezanne" and The Abduction of Europa" by Noel-Nicolas Coypel. The paper discusses how both these two paintings share much in common, how both show women in the nude, both use water and clouds as important elements and how both are built upon triangles. The paper also examines how they are also very different in their depictions of detail, light, and movement.

From the Paper
"The overwhelming triangular shape created by the trees draws the eye of the viewer to look at two figures standing on the shore opposite the women and at the town even further in the distance, with the trees and the bathers creating a frame around these objects. And yet, upon further viewing, there is little to be seen that is of interest in the background. Perhaps it is most interesting that the two figures are not clearly depicted as potraying man or beast, but could be any combination of the two. The figure on the left could arguably be a cow or some other beast of burden and its shorter broader companion a small child who is leading the beast to water. In the water is a figure, perhaps a swimmer in mid-stroke or a duck with some splashing by its partner who is diving for a fish."

Abstract
The paper argues in favour of inductive arguments in philosophy as it requires a most tentative and broad, careful approach. The paper maintains that deduction can be too bound by logic or equations and abduction requires prior knowledge for the person is seeking what is not visible from much on a topic that is visible. The paper explains that the main idea of induction is that of needing to question and respond carefully, avoiding fast conclusions.

From the Paper
"A first year course text states that "philosophy involves constructing and evaluating arguments" in common with other pursuits such as mathematics or economics or people in everyday life. (p.7) However, philosophers also construct arguments of different kinds with different fields of philosophy involving particular kinds of questions and schools of thought on which methods of inquiry are better. Good questions are seen as those that are rationally persuasive in the sense that they give the listener or the person to ask a question a sense that a result or answer is plausible. (p.8)"

Abstract
Statistics are cited to establish how widespread abduction has become, and prominent cases such as the Polly Klaas kidnapping are examined. The paper concludes with discussion of preventive measures which can be taken and laws which need to be passed to ameliorate the problem.

"THE ABDUCTION AND TRIAL OF MANUEL NORIEGA

This research paper discusses and analyzes the international
legal aspects of the abduction and trial of Manuel Noriega. In
1990 Noriega, the former Panamanian military strongman, was
kidnapped by the American military and returned to Miami where
he was tried and convicted on criminal charges. The Noriega and
other recent cases raise basic questions of international law
relating to the right of one state to apply extraterritorially
its criminal laws to the citizens of another state. Novel issues
arose because of the circumstances under which Noriega was
captured his status as a foreign head of state. A solid case can
be made that in all these instances, general principles of
international law were violated. The defendants in these cases
appear to have been guilty of the offenses charged. They were ..."

"International Abduction
This advisory opinion will discuss state-sponsored abduction and prosecution of criminal defendants from foreign states as a violation of international law. Under customary international law, one state cannot arrest a criminal suspect while he or she is in a foreign state without the permission of that state. Such an act goes against traditional principles of international law concerning the sovereignty of states and evolving principles concerning human rights. When a state authorizes such an act, it is necessary and proper for that state to be sanctioned by the other states in the international community.

Under traditional principles of international law, a state which authorizes the abduction of a criminal suspect in a foreign state and his or her return to the first country in order to face prosecution violates.."

Abstract
This paper questions the veracity of unidentified flying objects. The author discusses the origins of claims of contact with extraterrestrial life. Also covered are some of the 'evidences' offered to back up claims of the existence of UFOs.

From the Paper
"The publicity of encounters with UFOs started in the late 1940's. There had been reports before that time, but they had not received much exposure by the media. It all started in 1947. One day Kevin Arnold, who was flying his single engine plane, reported that he had seen objects flying around that could not be explained. He estimated their speed to be three times what was possible at that time. He described their motion was similar to that of a saucer skipping across water. The term flying saucer was born. The debate of the validity of these claims was also born (Randles 2)."

Abstract
This paper explores the alert system called AMBER: "America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response". This system co-ordinates law enforcement with the media, to help people act immediately after a child abduction has taken place. The paper explores the general principles of the system and looks at its origin and history of development. It then goes on to explain how the system works, citing its benefits and using case studies to highlight its success. It concludes with a look at how to implement the system in other states.

From the Paper
"The goal of the AMBER program is to communicate identifying information to the general public so they can report to law enforcement if they see any of the people or automobiles described in the AMBER alerts broadcasted. When law enforcement decides a child disappearance meets the criteria to issue an AMBER alert, they pass on information to the media, who broadcast it. Citizens are told not to approach any individuals or vehicles but are given a number to phone in the information so law enforcement professionals can use the information to apprehend the individuals."

Abstract
The paper examines how the primary similarities between these two works by Poussin and Delacroix reflect the multi-figurative depiction of mythological interpretations within the function and placement of these large-scale works in a gallery setting. The paper describes how by capturing the critical moment of violence in these two works, the painters create a line of motion that connects all of the forms together, providing a central axis for varying movements that might move out of this line.

Abstract
This paper provides an insight into AMBER, the acronym for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response which uses teamwork between the media, citizens and law enforcement in order to find abducted children. It describes how the program works works by sending crucial information to the public, via radio TV, and sometimes electronic roadside signs. It examines its pros and cons such as desensitization from overuse and provides statistics on children that disappear and the readiness of the public to help.

From the Paper
"Recent history has shown that the AMBER alert system is needed. Statistics show that there are about 46,000 non-relative kidnappings each year, and two thirds of those involve a sexual assault. Because parents don't always immediately notice that a child is missing, a 2-hour delay before reporting the abduction is common, but three-fourths of the children killed in these incidents are killed within three hours of being taken (KKF, 2002). This makes a rapid and wide response urgent, but police can only be in so many places at once."
