Abstract
The quest for identity marks the central movement in Robert Browning?s dramatic monologue, ?Fra Lippo Lippi.? This paper looks at how, during the course of the poem, Lippi depicts his patrons and, particularly the Church, as entities that wish to solidify their respective identities through artistic representation. Conversely, it explains how Lippi utilizes painting to point out his personal distance from the Church and to solidify his own identity as an individual who privileges body over soul.
From the Paper
"What he had thought was free artistic expression was little more than a critical assessment of his surroundings through art. The art itself offered no insights to Lippi's personality or identity; rather it allowed him to avoid self-scrutiny. The Prior's criticism of Lippi's work acts as a catalyst for self-evaluation because it creates and highlights a division between Lippi's social obligations and his belief system. However, Lippi's self-evaluation is as meaningless as his art until he verbalizes it. The form of the dramatic monologue indicates that identity exists and has meaning only insofar as it is a response to social context."

Abstract
This paper will seek to understand the word 'vocation', and how this applies to the poem by Robert Browning's "Fra Lippo Lippi", and Samuel Butler's "The Way of All Flesh." By learning what is meant by their religious behaviors they present, we can see the intense way that the characters in these poems reveal this. Also, we shall see how the poem "The Lady of Shalott" is included in this analysis in the works of Tennyson, as well as Elizabeth Browning in "Aurola Leigh".

Abstract
The following paper examines the way in which Butler suggests religion can prove an obstacle to finding an individual's true purpose in life in his book , ?The Way of All Flesh?.References are made to Robert Browning?s poem ?Fra Lippo Lippi.? and Tennyson?s ?Locksley Hall?, in which both the central characters have vocations that are not religiously sanctioned vocations.
From the Paper
?Before the full flowering of the Victorian Era in British society, the nature of what constituted an individual?s vocation was primarily understood primarily in theological terms. Even today, the Merriam Webster?s Collegiate Dictionary defines the word ?vocation? as ?a summons or a strong inclination to a particular state or course of action but especially as a divine call to the religious life.? However, the increasing interest in science, history, and secular identity caused Victorian society as a whole to undergo a profound destabilization. Both the religious and social moral structures that had prioritized religion as a means for providing an individual with his or her ideal occupation were called into question. Rather than viewing those ?called? to the clergy as the only recipients of a unique gift or vocation, the idea that religion was the only ?calling? an individual could experience is called into question in a number of Victorian narratives of self-understanding.?

Robert Browning's "Pippa Passes", 2005.
This paper discusses Robert Browning's "Pippa Passes" as an instrument of God.

Abstract
This paper explains that Christ-like human beings are instruments for the arts in the poetry of Robert Browning. The author points out that, by addressing how Browning created "Pippa Passes", the reader can learn how his poetic style of monologue matured in Ira Lippo Lippi's style and religious ideology. The paper states that Browning was an extremely dedicated follower of the Christian faith, which resides clearly in how human beings are used instruments for his own poetic vision.
From the Paper
"The drama of "Pippa Passes" reflects the way that God is a messenger of the arts within the poetic style that Robert Browning applies in his verse. In this manner, Browning has a supreme faith in the Christian God to guide Pippa by this seemingly invisible hand to influence artists in a positive manner."

Abstract
This paper explains the differences between disease and injury as the cause of hearing loss. The author points out the OSHA guidelines on hearing conservation, the problem of occupational noise in the railroad industry and the Federal Railroad Administration occupational noise standard. The paper relates in detail the FRA historic treatment of occupational noise including the first study of noise in locomotive cabs, the FRA report to Congress and the studies that followed in response to this report.
From the Paper
"Hearing is perhaps one, of the five senses, that is often take for granted. The alarm going off in the morning, the children playing outside, even the rain pattering on the window are all sounds that become so commonplace that it's easy to ignore how wonderful hearing truly is. However, when hearing loss occurs it then becomes painfully clear just how important this sense is and how it is so important to one's quality of life. This report will discuss the topic of hearing loss in the workplace, specifically that of the locomotive engineer. It will begin with a discussion of the differences between disease and injury. Next will be an overview of OSHA's guidelines on hearing conservation as well as a discussion of occupational noise in the railroad industry and the Federal Railroad Administration's occupational noise standard."

"English with an Accent", 2007.
A discussion on the effects of speaking English with an accent.

Abstract
This paper is an extensive review of the ideas put forward in Lippi-Green's book, "English with an Accent". It begins with a short example of the extent of language discrimination. It continues to discuss why a stereotype of people who speak with an accent exists. It also explores the effects that communicating with "improper" English has on society. The paper explains that language is a flexible tool for denoting social status and social allegiances. The author concludes that language discrimination, although subconscious, should be brought to light and dealt with.
From the Paper
" In school clarity of thought is linked to written language, and there is little effort to separate written from spoken. The aim is to make children active members of literacy communities rather than language communities. The silencing of voices considered unworthy or unequal is done by statements (such as, "It is inappropriate for a law student to ask a question in Hawaii'ian Creole English") (Lippi-Green, 1997, p. 107). A child in the classroom may be criticized for using vernacular English instead of Standard. At home the same child may be criticized for using Standard at the dinner table instead of the family's home language. The task for students is to discern when it is appropriate to use one or the other. "

Abstract
This paper discusses how the special exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art serve an important role in the storytelling of social, political and art history. In particular, it looks at how the special Renaissance exhibition tells a fascinating story of religious and intellectual enlightenment, and provides patrons with a glimpse of Renaissance tastes, fashions, standards of living and way of life. It examines how the artwork of Fra Angelico and the special exhibit on Renaissance tapestries provide a great deal of knowledge and insight on Renaissance artist influence in religion, society and affluent tastes.
From the Paper
"Angelico's famous pieces The Nativity and The Virgin of Humility are displayed at this exhibit. The works are very powerful, using bright colors to emphasize the birth of Jesus, angels rejoicing from above, and the Virgin Mary cradling Jesus. The pieces individually show Angelico's devotion to the Catholic Church, with symbolism fairly common within the paintings. However the paintings also portray to the viewer the saintly respect provided to the acquaintances of Jesus, especially the mother Virgin Mary. "

From the Paper
"Taking into account the stock and constraints, the model determines the optimal allocation of the production for different scenarios of rates level, rates volatility and risk aversion degrees. The bank hedges against the interest rate risk by optimally adjusting its production.
"The optimal portfolio is the tangent point between the efficient frontier and the indifferent curve. It is obtained by equalizing the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) to the risk to return, which is the slope of the efficient frontier, and the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) to the risk to return, which is the slope of the objective function."
