Conclusion

From the Paper
"The strengths of the product are that it is unique - there are no known competitors. It is relatively low-cost and it in tests has proven highly effective. The weaknesses are that it requires law enforcement buy-in and parental buy-in - two distinct groups with unique needs. The bracelet design is strength because it is not only fashionable but unlike microchips such as those implanted into cats, it is not permanent. The use of gold or silver, however, could be controversial as children may become targets for thieves seeking to acquire the bracelets for their metal value."

Abstract
This paper offers an analytical review of John Donne's "The Funeral," arguing that the hair worn around the speaker's arm serves as the poem's central and dynamic metaphor for the conflict between infatuation and disgust the speaker has for his lover. The paper explains that for the poem's speaker, the hair-bracelet is at first a token of earthly devotion, then a shackle of unrequited love, and finally a fetish of revenge. Describing each octet, the paper proceeds to note that the speaker, at first rationalizing that the bracelet is the object that holds his body together, actually doesn't want his cursed bracelet to be the curse of others; he doesn't want other men like himself to be either the victims of unrequited love or the bearers of deep hatred. As a martyr, the author asserts, the speaker is a testament for others. The paper concludes that indeed, the bracelet of hair holds the speaker's lifeless body together as a tragic reminder of lost love, tying the poem together as "sinewy thread" of the speaker's brain once did for his living body.

From the Paper
"In the first line of the third and final octet, the speaker seems to concede that "whate'er she meant" may be ambiguous and creates ambiguity of his own when he says "it" should be "[buried] with [him]" (17). In fact, the speaker uses "it" in lines 17-19 as a placeholder for multiple items: "it," his lover's remarks; "it," the bracelet of hair; and "it," his feelings for her. The reader discovers in line 19 that the speakers refers to himself as "love's martyr," hyperbole for how he feels about his lover. The speaker is saying essentially that he sacrificed himself for love, which also suggests that his death as a martyr was also in vain. The reader may now understand that the true relationship between the speaker and the hair he wears seems to be perverse petrarchan love. Not only is his love unreciprocated, the speaker dies for his unrequited love and continues to show it even on his lifeless body in the form of his lover's hair. Interestingly enough, the speaker constructs a reversal of power between him and his bracelet in the final line of the poem: "...since you would have none of me, I bury some of you" (24). No longer a reminder of control or loss, the hair is now an object meant to curse the woman from whom the speaker acquired it. Connoted by the word "have," the bracelet has evolved into an object that harbors the anger the speaker feels from sexual rejection (24)."

Abstract
The paper relates that the armillary sphere (lat. armilla = bracelet) is one of the oldest astronomical instruments. The paper explains that the sphere (or sometimes referred to as 'model') represented heavenly spheres and was extensively used by early astronomers for measurements and explanations of heavenly motions (i.e. stars and planets). The paper also mentions that the simplest design of armillary sphere, consisting of a ring fixed in the plane of the equator, is probably one of the oldest astronomical instruments. The paper then describes how further development introduced another ring (armilla) fixed in the meridian plane, or perpendicular to the first or equatorial ring.

Abstract
This paper explores the wider symbolism of the "manacle of love," the bracelet with which Posthumus presents Imogen when he secures her hand in marriage. The writer explains that with this act, Shakespeare opens the play outwards from the realm of romance to that of tendentious subversion of the value of female sexuality and political energy. Through the rest of the play, the real and metaphoric values of the manacle continue to resonate as it passes through the hands of three different characters.

From the Paper
"As a foundational myth, Cymbeline is a family romance that embodies the desire of being freed from one's historically-defined origins through a "right marriage," the execution of which is related directly in many of Shakespeare's later plays to a discourse that is misogynistic in its open attacks on women as the originating forces within the emerging culture. Focusing on the machinations associated with "marrying" of Cymbeline's daughter Imogen, who eventually takes the ill-fated Posthumus as her mate of choice, the play traces most obviously the trajectory of the husband's treatment of his young wife."

Abstract
This paper discusses how magnets and their implementation in a wide variety of products ranging from mattress pads to shoe inserts and bracelets have stormed the alternative health industry with promises of healing, speedy recuperation post-surgery and even enhanced athletic performance. It examines the history of their use in this field from the time of Cleopatra as well as some of the experimental studies done on magnetic therapy and their results. The paper concludes that the magnetic industry will live or die based on its continued availability, media exposure and the widespread desire to find alternatives to mainstream medicine and its often painful procedures.

From the Paper
"A scientist in Denver, Robert Kirschbaum was so intrigued with magnets and their potential to restore energy levels that he developed a product called CALC or Cell Activating Liquid Complex. The Complex, which is advertised as treating everything from allergies to warts, is reported by Kirchbaum's company, MagnetiCare, to cause a moving magnetic field within the body upon ingestion, which "induces electrons into all the conducting elements of the body." He tested the product on his farm animals, specifically, 500 piglets, who were experiencing infections after a deadly outbreak of bacteria. The infected pigs whose water was treated the complex showed marked improvement and grew to be healthy and vibrant (Magneticare, 2008)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the use of a relatively new technology called RFID, radio frequency identification devices that enable amusement park officials to track all children through necklaces, bracelets or clothing tags that the children wear while they are in an amusement park. The paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the current system and provides a cost/benefit analysis of the RFID. Finally, the paper examines how to implement the system.

System Analysis and Design of the Implementation

From the Paper
"Bluesoft can use pre-existing Wi-Fi infrastructure; thus the design of implementation is based on the already existing blueprint for the system infrastructure of the basic Wi-Fi system in any given park. Parents can pay a nominal fee of several Euros or dollar for rental tags that are barely visible on a child's person. The park will be able to track the tag continuously, as well as at any given moment. These tags will be linked to cell phones, according to the latest version of the most enhanced system (Collins, 2004), so that parents will get an automated response telling them the location of their child within twenty feet in a process that takes 10-20 seconds."

Abstract
The paper discusses how utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) devices can provide security and peace of mind for schools, individual parents and daycare centers. The paper explains how this technology can be used on car seats, bracelets and in the belts of children in order to prevent their disappearance and avoid potential tragedies.

From the Paper
"Everywhere one looks, there are pictures of missing children displayed. They appear on milk cartons, in mailboxes and around town. Whether they have disappeared because they wandered off on their own and got lost, or were grabbed by an abductor with dangerous intentions, the result is the same. They are gone, their families are frantic and law enforcement officials scramble to locate the children before something horrible can happen. It only takes a split second. A mother turns her head to greet a friend, a man steps out of a room for a minute, or a child wanders away without letting parents know he is going to do so, and suddenly the child is gone. It is an unimaginable terror for parents as the television crews arrive. Their worst nightmare starts to come true as detectives ask to see a picture of the missing child."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the short story 'A&P' by John Updike. According to the paper, this story is is a retelling of James Joyce's 'Araby'. The paper discusses the similarities between the two works.

From the Paper
"Or perhaps Updike is reflecting literarily on the sexual revolution that went on in the 1960s - rock and roll, drugs, anti-war protests and other seeming violations of what until then were considered the accepted norms in American life. Indeed, could Updike's point have been that there were value wars going on in America between an older generation who, in the 1960s, displayed bumper stickers that read, "America: Love it or Leave it!" - and those who wore buttons reading "Peace & Love" and attended psychedelic light show concerts where pot was passed around as casually as the collection plate at a Sunday church service?"

Abstract
This paper briefly describes Titian's painting, "Venus of Urbino," and then takes a look at the various interpretations of the painting. The paper also explains how the painting differs from earlier paintings of Venus.

From the Paper
"Titian's Venus of Urbino is a painting that may be regarded and evaluated on many levels. It was also in many senses a revolutionary painting. Titian chose to depict this woman's nudity in a way that was very unusual, and has since sparked controversy as to the intent of the painting. There are many possible and opposing interpretations of the painting. Some would call it mere pornography, while others have referred to it as a perfect expression of female beauty. There have also been various speculations as to who the woman who posed for the painting was and how she was related to the artist and the patron of the painting. However, no matter how the painting is judged, it must be regarded as a stunning integration of both human and supernatural beauty."
