Abstract
In the paper, different types and processes of motion capture are explained in detail, along with a history of motion capture development and a discussion of what the future of this rapidly evolving technology holds for these three industries of filmmaking, video games and sports.

From the Paper
"Motion capture, motion tracking or mocap, is a technique of digitally recording movements for entertainment, sports and medical applications. Where filmmaking is concerned, motion capture refers to the technique of recording the actions of human actors and using that information to animate digital character models in 3D animation. Motion capture has its origins in the pioneering photography work of moving images conducted by Eadweard Muybridge in the late ...th century, but the first individuals to analyze human and animal motion with video was..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the compelling documentary, "Capturing the Friedmans" and describes that this film is about a middle-class New York family, who appears to be a functional, happy family on the outside. The writer points out that on the inside something quite different is going on.

From the Paper
"Interestingly enough, the filmmaker, Andrew Jarecki set out to make a film about the top children's party entertainers in New York City. He met one of these entertainers David Friedman, who worked as a clown, and another story began to unravel before his eyes. David is the eldest of three sons of Edith and Arnold Friedman, and all existed in a seemingly typical Jewish family. "

From the Paper
"The risks associated with both initiatives center on security, acceptance by partners, resellers, and distributors, and the development of the applications, and the risk of losing key talent in the IT organization before the applications are built. The first risk of acceptance has to be minimized through the use of advisory councils and a strong focus on bringing them a series of applications and broader system they can quickly take ownership of. Accomplishing this starts with a focus on integrating their requirements, thinking through their stated requirements to define what future enhancements are needed given the direction they are going with their channel programs, and most importantly, creating workflows for the managing of special pricing requests. Columbus (2003) states that of all pricing workflows, the highest ROIs are possible when the special pricing request workflows are automated and taken away from being a purely manual process to one where rules engines are used for quickly making decisions."

Abstract
In this paper, the industrial and organic concept of "modern motion" in the early 20th century Futurist Movement is examined through the works of Umberto Boccioni and Paul Klee. By examining their desire to capture the quickening tempo of advancing technology and rapid development, the paper explains, these painters took a more abstract and progressive view toward motion in composition.

Abstract
The paper provides a discussion of how motion capture is used to create 3D animated characters, in addition to the use of this technology in filmmaking, athletics and video game design.

From the Paper
"New technologies like motion capture 3D animation provide movie makers, video game designers and those who study human motion in sports unprecedented capacities. Motion capture also called MOCAP is defined by Alberto Menache in "Understanding Motion Capture for Computer Animation and Video Games" as; "The creation of a 3D representation of a live performance." To create the three-dimensional representation, the motion of live actors or athletes are digitally recorded and then applied to 3D models. The digital recording process typically occurs in one of..."

Abstract
"""Geselischaft and the affect of urban life in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver"" is a three page paper that discusses Martin Scorsese's seminal film Taxi Driver and hopes to capture Geselischaft and the shift of popular social values to the tumultuous new values of the film's protagonist, Travis Bickle. "

From the Paper
Geselischaft and the affect of urban life in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver Herbert Gans contented that the city is a mosaic of many lifestyles. These lifestyles always threaten to collide in an inevitable fashion and reinforce the concept of Geselischaft. This German term strives to articulate the conditioning of a human being to be self-centered and self-serving, altering a human's nature so that they will "survive" the rigors of a modern lifestyle. Geselischaft especially holds poignancy within an urbanized society, and has been explored by many filmmakers who hope to capture this phenomenon as the essence of one's modern selfhood. Martin Scorsese's seminal film Taxi Driver is no exception to this, and

Abstract
This paper describes the many technological advances that have become available in the last few decades and explains how they can help law enforcement agencies improve their overall ability to locate and capture suspects. The paper looks at such technologies as iris-recognition technology, electronic surveillance technology, citizen smart cards technology and facial recognition technology.

From the Paper
"The world today is filled with cameras that can film an individual wherever he goes, his cell phone signal can pinpoint his location, and even one glance can reveal his true identity (Shenk 2003). Iris-recognition technology, soon to be common in places such as airports, offices, and banks, will simply scan an individual's eyes to reveal his idenity (Shenk 2003). Many feel that in this post-9/11 landscape, there is a serious need for these high-tech tools to help detect money laundering, encrypted e-mails, bio-weapons, and suitcase nukes (Shenk 2003)."

Abstract
This paper explores the way that Shakespeare presents many of the complex issues of life, such as love, honor, and shame in his play, "Measure for Measure". The paper analyzes the characters in the play and explains how Shakespeare is able to deftly capture the spirit of the human psyche in each one.

From the Paper
"Isabella becomes a pivotal character in the play because as we become concerned with what she should do, we realize the problems her choice means to her. Part of the difficulty associated with Measure for Measure is that the answer to this question is not clear. What we discover about Isabella is something peculiar about her chastity. In short, her actions reveal that she is not as pure as she may seem. She no doubt wants to save her own soul, life, and chastity, obviously at whatever the cost. While Isabella's behavior causes her to appear to be somewhat selfish, it is also important to realize that there is little else she can do."

From the Paper
"For B2B customers this is also very critical as many of these companies are accustomed to getting price concessions on the purchase of a large quantity of discontinued products, or offering a discounted price for a specific quantity of products. Often these pricing requests are completed via manual processes, which are quite time consuming and expensive, and due to the time to complete them, often result in deals being lost. It is a very good idea for organizations to seriously look at this specific customer requirement, as Columbus (2003) explains in much of the research completed on this topic at AMR Research (2003)."

Abstract
This paper discusses three novels relating to different civil wars: "The Capture of Atlanta" by General William T. Sherman, "Picasso's Guernica" by Sam Hunter and "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty. It compares the different views that are presented in each book regarding conflict in the American Civil War, the Spanish civil war and the Irish civil war.

From the Paper
"These three writers address different aspects of civil war while showing some of the cruelty of war at the same time. Only Sherman tries to justify that cruelty, or at least to explain it away as simply something that happens in war. O'Flaherty shows the reader directly the real meaning of civil war specifically and of war in general, much as Picasso did in his painting of Guernica. Sherman was a soldier, and he gauged war while in the midst of it. Still, his view is too accepting of the cruelty of war and not sufficiently willing to try to end war without adding to the cruelty in the process."
