Abstract
The paper looks at the film "The Ox-Bow Incident", a 1943 film, and its impressive take on vigilante justice. The paper describes how the film explores the differences between mob justice and the sort of justice found in a court room. The paper looks at why courtroom justice is infinitely preferable to mob justice - even on those occasions when the mob gets it right.

From the Paper
"To begin with, this is a movie that focuses upon the concepts of justice and law - and the differences that "ordinary folk" see between the two. Clearly, the angry mob that hunts down and kills three innocent men is not interested in procedural justice or in the subtleties of courtroom law; instead, they want Old Testament justice to be visited upon those they perceive as being guilty of cattle-rustling and murder. As the revenge-driven Farnley puts it at one point: "I know who's gonna take care of it - me. I tell you now, whoever shot Larry Kincaid ain't comin' back...""

Abstract
This paper dissects Israel Zangwill's mystery novel The Big Bow Mystery and analyzes it in terms of other mystery-novel standards: logical consistency, character evenness, and distraction (e.g. "red herrings"). It concludes that although the novel also functions as a critique of Victorian society, the novel itself has great worth as a mystery due to its supreme internal consistency, hard to achieve in the "locked room" subgenre.

"This study will provide a critical analysis of "The Bow and the Lyre", by Octavio Paz. The book is subtitled "The Poem, The Poetic Revelation, Poetry and History," and it covers those subjects and many more. Its most essential subject, however, is the role which poetry has played and still plays in the lives of human beings. Paz says in his Foreword that he has written this book to try to answer a question: "From the time when I began to write poems, I wondered whether it was worth while to do so" . Of course, Paz does think it was worthwhile to write poetry, but he wants to find out under what circumstances it is worthwhile, and what the relationship is between poetry and politics.

What Paz finds is that true poetry is poetry which has the power to change the world in dramatic and lasting ways. Poetry is ... "

"Introduction


An analysis of a company for purposes of investment or employment should include a number of the same dimensions. A company that would make a good investment is a sound company, one where the employee is likely to find a job continuing for some time. A company that is a good place to work may be a good investment because it retains a strong and satisfied workforce. A comparison of two companies--Pitney Bowes and Sun Microsystems, Inc.--will show how they satisfy those who would invest or those who would seek an entry level management position.

"Introduction
Pitney Bowes is the nation's largest manufacturer of postage meters, a market it helped to create in the 1920s when it persuaded the United States Postal Service that meters could be an effective method for the post office to receive payment for mail. In the intervening years, companies came to depend on the reliability and convenience of using postage meters, and Pitney Bowes took full advantage of the market it created by becoming the premier provider of postage meters. Today, the postal service and Pitney Bowes are facing competition from sources which did not even exist 20 years ago (the Internet) or which were in their infancy (facsimile machines). Pitney Bowes has survived previous technological innovations, such as Telex machines, but the challenges it faces today could pose more serious threats. This .."

Abstract
The paper considers the steps that the Victory Hotel, University of Alabama and Pitney Bowes are taking to protect their data security.

From the Paper
"The Victory Hotel in Dallas has set up virtual local area networks (VLANs) to prevent guests from gaining access to the hotel's main computer system. This provides guests with the much-needed access to wireless networks, but protects the integrity of the hotel's own data. Similar approaches can be used by other businesses where the public might have reason to use a network, but where the company's own data could be at risk."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Roman Empire, while maintaining a measure of personal freedom for many of its subjects, did not allow religious freedom to prosper under its rule. It looks at how Rome mingled the identity of the Caesar with that of its pantheon of gods and how, in order to be an accepted Roman citizen, a person had to be willing to bow down to the Emperor. It explores the spread of Christianity within the Roman Empire and attempts to understand the events that led up to Diocletian?s edict and Constantine?s Edict of Milan, which reversed Diocletian?s policy. It does this through an analysis of the political setting of Rome and the slow erosion of Roman authority.

From the Paper
"Due to the size of the empire, Diocletian created a division of power and responsibilities for administrative purposes. He divided the empire into two spheres, eastern and western. The division was enforced sporadically and became permanent with Arcadius and Honorius in 395 AD. Diocletian devised a system of co-emperors, which included two co-ruling senior emperors, one in the east, and the other in the west who each chose an assistant who would be mentored as his successor. This system was called the tetrarchy. The senior rulers were titled "Augustus" while their sub-rulers were entitled "Caesars". Imperial edicts could be issued in the names of all four of the emperors and Caesars, or in any of their names."

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares the poems "Bye-Child", "The Outlaw", "Bogland", "Limbo" and "The Harvest Bow", by Seamus Heaney. The paper illustrates how each poem evokes a powerful sense of the Irish perception of Ireland, a love-hate relationship in which kinship to the land is deeply felt, along with profound spiritual loneliness. The paper explains that although the overall tone of these poems creates a feeling of tragic alienation, isolation and sterility, there remains a hint of hope.

From the Paper
" "Bye-Child" tells the story of a feral child found shut up in a henhouse, the ultimate symbol of ignorance, isolation and alienation. The squalor of his condition is expressed in "the dust,/ The cobwebs, old droppings/ Under the roosts"; he is fed on scraps thrown through a trapdoor "morning and evening". This image is an extreme dramatization of Irish poverty and deprivation. The child lives for the arrival of the scraps, his only link with the unnamed "she" (his mother?) and for the sight of the lamplight in the window, the symbol of comfort and companionship from which he is inexplicably excluded. His uncomprehending patience is compared to that of a dog; he is "kennelled and faithful". Thus, in spite of the misery and neglect of his parents ("their" implies his mother has companionship), there is no resentment in his acceptance of his situation. He loves the light; thus the Irish, in spite of their hardships and lack of comfort, still love their motherland."

Abstract
This paper deals with the strategical and technological battlefield of the fourteenth century and gives an insight into some of the battles that took place during the fourteenth century Scottish wars and the Hundred Years War. It describes how long-bow men were used on the field and how they were applied to the tactics of the day and why men-at-arms were increasingly relied upon over the traditional usage of heavy cavalry.

From the Paper
"It is estimated that the English archers unleashed half a million arrows against the French at the battle of Crecy in 1346 . English long-bowmen brought the lines of French heavy cavalry and infantry into confusion. Arrows were about 36 inches long, tipped with the sharpened steel and fletched with goose feathers. Each archer would carry around 20 arrows and thousands more would be available in the baggage train. In combination with the new strategy learned at Bannockburn long-bow-men would have a great impact on English armies during the 14th and 15th centuries."
