Abstract
This paper stresses that a personal security protection plan is a very involved process because protecting an individual is much more difficult than securing a building. The process becomes more complicated, the author points out, when the principal has a high public profile, is considered to be a controversial figure or is to appear in court. The paper demonstrates the details required in the planning process including pre-assignment assessment and research of the principal, travel requirements and additional special needs.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The protection team will become familiar with the principal's behavior, facial expressions and voice inflections. The protection team will be able to review media tapes as the principal enjoys media attention. Communication procedures will be developed between the protection team and the principal. Subtle signals will be developed between the team members and the principal to indicate when the principal wants to leave (provided he is not in court at the moment) to indicate he does not want others to know. In particular if the principal begins to feel that his medical condition is getting to him and does not want others to know."

Abstract
This paper contains information about the construction and parts of a common laser. The paper also provides a detailed description of how the laser works and discusses some of the dangers and negative aspects of lasers. The paper also covers the different uses of the laser such as leisure use, business use, and home use. Lastly, future possibilities for the laser and how it can still benefit society with uses not yet explored are discussed.

From the Paper
" Lasers are high intensity beams of light emitted from a unit consisting of a flash bulb, a ruby, and opposing mirrors. Theodore Maiman first introduced these extremely strong light beams to the world in 1960. The beam emitted by the laser is very intense and can be damaging or harmful. Although harmful, lasers are also very useful tools for a wide array of tasks. Lasers are used for everything from eye surgery to leveling a ceiling. Lasers are an innovation that has withstood the test of time with people finding new and creative uses for this spectacular invention."

Abstract
This research proposal seeks to answer the research question as to whether age, gender and culture influences the accuracy of detail that is recalled by witnesses and the extent to which police officers properly interview the witnesses. The proposal includes a literature review and detailed discussion of the proposed study. The proposed research will contribute to the research literature.

From the Paper
Introduction: The purpose of a police investigation is to elicit as much detailed and accurate information from witnesses as possible in order to successfully solve crimes. A successful police interview would include the willingness of witnesses to cooperate with police, the amount of information that is recalled by the witness, and the accuracy of the information that is disclosed. Because of the difficult nature of the recall process in memory, the police interview is an extremely important component of information gathering. The police interview is regarded as a complex skill requiring training, practice and considerable time (Dando, Wilcock &

"A Comparison of Attributes
"In comparing the website attributes of Alison Hayes with other websites we will actually be benchmarking sites in similar businesses. There is a risk in just benchmarking companies in the same market: It is possible that some of the best practices by companies outside the market may be overlooked. Therefore for our exercise we will make a comparison of the Alison Hayes website to a UK site and where possible to a website immaterial of the market it serves. The company owned website is http://www.alisonhayes.co.uk/.
"We are more concerned with the 38% of users who use specific search terms to locate sites of interest to them expect to find information on the landing page that is in sync with their search objectives."

Abstract
This essay provides a highly detailed analysis of the history of abortion from ancient times through present day. The origins of the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to abortion are fully discussed as are the social events of the late 1960's and early 1970's that eventually led to legalization of abortion procedures with the 1972 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. Following the historical analysis of the issue, both the pro-choice and the pro-life beliefs, and their foundations, are described in detail with supporting documentation and references. The essay concludes with pro-life supporting argument.

From the Paper
"Abortion on demand is perhaps the most contentious issue ever faced by Americans and indeed the world. In the United States alone, approximately one in three pregnancies terminate in the abortion of the unborn child. This translates into approximately 1.5 million abortions each year. Translate the statistics to an international level and the number quickly rises to over 50 million. This data illustrates that abortion is a fact of life in modern times while at the same time presenting complex legal, political, and ethical issues by raising fundamental questions about the sanctity of life in general and the universal concern for human liberty. (Flanders 3) "

Abstract
The author reviews in detail the "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Wieland". She concludes that they are different in style and genre. Both Cooper and Brown contributed greatly to the development of a distinctly American literature. Cooper adapted the Romance; Charles Brockden Brown adapted the European Gothic novel to the American context. Cooper's influence is seen in frontier fiction; Brown's influence, in the works of Poe and Hawthorne.

From the Paper
"James Fenimore Cooper wrote in the vein of European Romantic writers like Walter Scott, while Charles Brockden Brown recreated the new form of the Gothic novel. Both adapted the original forms to the American experience, which meant not only embedding them in the land but also shifting the focus from aristocratic European characters to the common man in the democratic social order in America. Both Cooper and Brown elevated the common man over any ideas about the superiority of the aristocracy and did so in the American setting."

Abstract
This paper provides an in depth study on the life of Jimi Hendrix. His musical styles and influences are discussed in detail. The focus is to see why he was regarded as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.

From the Paper
"Jimi Hendrix is arguably the most innovative electric guitarist of all time, combining blues, hard rock, modern jazz, and soul to create his own distinct sound. Jimi began playing at the age of twelve, when his father bought him an old guitar in which Jimi turned upside down and restrung. He first learned the blues from greats such as B.B. King and Muddy Waters. When Jimi was seventeen, he joined the armed forces, where he met future bassist, Billy Cox. The two enhanced their skills as they played for troops around the camp. When Hendrix was discharged from the army, he began to tour the Chitlin Circuit with different artists such as Little Richard and the Isley Brothers. Eventually Hendrix was discovered by Chas Chandler of the Animals, and took Jimi to England and made him a star. When Jimi came back to America and performed at the Monterey Pop Festival, he became an instant success. Over the next few years, Jimi put out some of the most popular, creative and innovative music that is still emulated today. The focus of this paper is to show how Hendrix created his own style of music that was heavily based on the blues and other musical styles and scenes."

Abstract
This paper examines, in extreme detail, the "Sirens" episode in James Joyce's epic Ulysses. The author explores the following areas: The episode's place within the whole, Joyce's intent, themes, literary structure, and Bloom's character and tendencies. Attention is paid to Joyce's use of musical motifs (fugue, canon etc) and many quotes from the novel are included.

From the Paper
"James Joyce has proven himself to be something of a narrative chameleon in terms of the styles that he chooses to employ in his writing. In his telling of the story of Ulysses, the only constant is the fact that the narrative style changes from episode to episode. The beginning of the novel appears to be straightforward, filled with easily identifiable interior monologues and descriptions. Yet as the story progresses, the reader finds that these all-important Joycean agents of the story become increasingly difficult to follow and attribute to any particular character. Each episode takes on its own unique tone and style, making the task of the reader far more difficult in terms of comprehension."
