Abstract
The paper explains how Michael Ondaatje's poem "Last Ink" presents a complex reflection upon love and how the writer perceives and represents thought and experience. The paper demonstrates how Ondaatje achieves these objectives through the use of imagery and syntactical constructions. The paper illustrates how "Last Ink" is a powerful and resonant poetic work.
From the Paper
"One of the particularly interesting features of "Last Ink" is the centrality of the writing experience in the poem. The act of writing is not for Ondaatje restricted to pen and paper. Rather, throughout his work, he has reflected on writing as an act of creation that is central to the human experience (Vigurs 72). For Ondaatje, for example, lovers are writers and the lover's body becomes a medium upon which a text is inscribed. Love and sensuality have been recognized as predominating in the themes and imagery of Ondaatje's poetry (Sen 338)."

They maintained their faithful following into the early 1950s, and, according to the Hall of Fame biographical information, "became one of the first acts to break down racial barriers by performing at previously all-white Southern venues."

Inked in America, 2001.
A discussion of the history, popularity and influence of tattoos in American culture.

Abstract
This essay discusses the growing popularity and influence of tattoos in American culture over the past century. It dates back to the tattoos debut in America through the military in the late 1800?s and then becoming a part of our circuses in the 1900?s. This paper discusses how certain groups like feminists and sailors came to use tattoos and their variety of purposes from artistic impressions to story telling. It also discusses America?s tolerance and acceptance for tattoos among the classes and genders throughout time and how this has changed. Tattooing is an art adopted by American society over 100 hundred years ago and is deeply rooted now in our culture as it has allowed us to examine and display portions of other cultures.
From the Paper
"The reasons and motives behind getting a tattoo are as varied as the designs one can create. In days past, some of the reasons may have been to show one?s patriotism to his country, to show love and respect for another person or organization, to remember past events or record the places one has visited, or even to rebel against something. Today, the reasons for tattooing still include the previously mentioned points, but have expanded to include exploring other cultures, expressing ones individuality, and simply for artistic reasons. Tattooing is an important part of the ?American culture? because the designs many people create draw upon so many different cultures around the globe. The American tattoo, in a sense, is like a melting pot of designs, just like America is the melting pot for all of the different cultures."

Abstract
This paper examines four plays from around the globe and analyzes their central themes. The paper shows how David Hare's "Absence of War" introduces audiences to the British political system and the total lack of personality in its leaders. In "Indian Ink", by Tom Stoppard, the paper discusses the play's emphasis on the colonial era in India and power relations in the world. The paper looks at the psychological state of the characters in Harold Pinter's "The Caretaker" and the way their attire contributes to this state. Finally, the paper shows how Sean O'Casey, in his play "Shadow of a Gunman", shapes his material the distinction between illusion and reality.
From the Paper
"The play involves an ongoing series of interactions among these three. Davies and Aston conflict almost from the moment they arrive in this room, for they are very unlike and react differently to everything that happens. Mick, on the other hand, serves the role of goad, seeming to come from nowhere and to place demands. In the First Act, Mick is only seen twice, both times in his leather jacket, signaling a certain fascist mentality in his dress. His behavior confirms this as he enters silently, twists Davies's arm, and searches through Davies clothing, all as if he had the right to do so and should never be questioned."

Abstract
This paper explains that imaging and optics technologies have provided a wide range of industries with the ability to label, track and prevent bad documentation to their products in a more efficient and economically sound business. The author points out that "automatic identification", the means of identifying a product mechanically and entering the data obtained automatically into a computer, includes bar codes, optical character recognition (OCR), magnetic ink character recognition (MICR), magnetic stripes and voice systems. The paper relates that a problem with voice recognition applications is that it can be affected by environmental factors such as background noise; however, this technology has been the focus of considerable efforts on the part of the telecommunications industry and the U.S. government's intelligence community, which continue to work on improving reliability. illustrations

From the Paper
"By the beginning of the 1980s, various optical character recognition (OCR) technologies became available that made it possible to convert text to electronic form without the need for manual keyboarding. The scanner's ability to translate typewriter characters into bit-mapped image into ASCII text depends on a number of factors, including the sensitivity of the device itself and the legibility and method of preparation of the original document; however, improvements are being made all of the time and even formerly graphic-based scanning systems such as Adobe's notoriously slow PDF applications have incorporated character recognition systems that allow for textual scanning. Some of these character recognition systems incorporate features that provide output options to convert the text into a format used by common word-processing programs such as RTF, Word and so forth. According to Dry and Lawler, the term "scanning" is frequently used today to describe the process of creating digitized images; in this approach, a graphic picture of the page, rather than an actual transcription of the text itself, is stored in the computer."

From the Paper
"Hewlett-Packard (HP) began as a premier manufacturer of test and measurement equipment, built by engineers for engineers. The company's later moves into mainframe and minicomputers were fundamentally the same strategy of building the most technologically elegant product possible for the market targeted. As a result of these strategies HP had developed supply chain, sourcing, and production strategies that were aligned more intricate, highly defined components and smaller production runs than large-scale production processes capable of producing hundreds of thousands, even millions of units per year."

"The Fly", 2006.
An analysis of the short story, "The Fly", by Katherine Mansfield.
1,863 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 0 sources, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how metaphor and imagery make up for the lack of plot in short stories, how their impact is dealt through characterization and mood rather than through complex story lines. The paper proposes that Katherine Mansfield's "The Fly" is no exception. The paper analyzes the character of the Boss, and concludes that the Boss opted to spill ink instead of blood and to kill a fly instead of a person, noting that not all emotions need to be expressed overtly.
From the Paper
"The Boss's actions are a pure expression of human aggression, of misplaced anxiety, of suppressed emotions. When the Boss shifted from passive-aggression to active aggression he startles himself. "But such a grinding feeling of wretchedness seized him that he felt positively frightened." The Boss was lifted from the comfort of his "snug" office and brought face-to-face with death and annihilation, with anger and mourning. Ironically, the only means by which the Boss can reasonably deal with his feelings is by killing a fly: which is itself a passive-aggressive expression of his anger. For instance, the Boss could have lashed out at Woodfield for having brought up the photograph in the first place."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The Rorschach or ink-blot test is the second-most used personality test. This paper examines the history of the test, its validity and reliability, and how it is scored. The paper expresses a fairly critical view of the test, while providing a number of sources to back it up.
From the Paper
"The Rorschach Inkblot Test was introduced in 1921 by the Swiss Psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach. It uses the phenomena of pareidolia to examine the intricacies of the human mind, with a set of primary foci on the expressive capacities and potential mental disorders of its subjects. While initially disregarded as a serious instrument of evaluation, by 1947 it was ranked fourth out of twenty procedures in a study of instruments used by clinical psychologists (Louttit and Brown, 1947) and more recent studies show that it is second only to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory in regularity of use."

"Mao" by Andy Warhol, 2002.
This paper introduces and analyzes the painting "Mao" by artist Andy Warhol.
605 words (approx. 2.4 pages), 1 source, $ 21.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the painting, "Mao", acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas, that Andy Warhol painted in 1973 at the height of Mao's power in China. The author states that this painting is more realistic than many other Warhol paintings, but it is clearly his "style". The author believes that this painting is very interesting because of the two different mediums used and all the hidden meanings that seem to be buried in the colors and shapes.
From the Paper
"The painting is over 15 feet high, and so Mao looks down at the viewers as if he is looking over a group of children. Mao's face is not what you would expect, except from someone like Warhol. The face is done in bright oranges and yellows, to show his Asian ancestry, but even more, to make him look vibrant and alive. Warhol has also given him bright red cheeks and lips, so much so that he looks like a woman wearing a lot of make-up, especially blush and bright lipstick. There is blue eye shadow over his eyes to enhance the look of make-up, too."

From the Paper
"DNA evidence was submitted in three criminal cases in Australia. It was challenged in two of those cases but it was found that the DNA evidence was admissible. However, there have been cases where DNA wasn?t admissible, as it was found not having being treated with care. The evidence had not been handled carefully due to sloppy work. In another case, the investigator had accidentally sneezed over the evidence, which made it hard for the forensics department to track the culprit."

Personal computers and CRT monitors also contain arsenic, cadmium, and mercury and the EPA classifies these substances as "having hazardous waste characteristics" (4). "

Scrimshaw: A History and Currency of a Bygone Era, 2004.
An overview of the history of the art of scrimshaw and its use as an early form of currency.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the art of scrimshaw is an art of idle hands that dates back to the early part of the 19th century, when sailors on long, idle, whaling expeditions would use the leavings of the hunt to create art. It looks at how the art was mostly made from the teeth end bone of the whale, the non-desirable portions of the kill, and how scrimshaw is carving away lines and then darkening them with ink to create a contrasting picture. It also examines how some sailors became very proficient and were able to create very detailed representations of their subjects, often nautical themes, but also patriotic themes, portraits of women, and, sometimes, even erotic art. These pieces were often bartered around the world as an early form of currency.
From the Paper
"The whale was desired mainly for its blubber, used to make lamp oil and its baleen, the plastic of the 19th century, used to make products like corset boning and fishing rods. (Paszkiewicz 1) Mostly made from the teeth end bone of the whale, the non-desirable portions of the kill, scrimshaw is carving away lines and then darkening them with to create a contrasting picture. Some sailors became very proficient and were able to create very detailed representations of their subjects, often nautical themes, but also patriotic themes, portraits of women and sometimes even erotic art. These sailors faced countless dangers and could sometimes be gone for as long as five years, the need to recall home, fill idle hours and even create gifts and expressions of love for those back home, or even fulfill erotic desires through the mind, filled the idle hours with the development of this sensational folk art."

Abstract
This paper explains that counterfeiting is a huge problem for the pharmaceutical industry because it relates to direct liability. The author points out that some companies are using a security triangle, which is a three-tiered approach to security measures in packaging: An overt features such as holograms, deterrents on currency such as pen reactive inks and activities in the arena of forensic technology. The paper states that, the FDA has postponed implementation of federal drug pedigree rules three times since first calling for it in the 1987 Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA).
From the Paper
"This problem becomes even more complicated when introducing online sales of prescription products. How is it possible to make sure that the authentic product is being purchased, plus at the right quantity and correct price? Another problem is buying from other countries. In July 2004, according to a report issued by the FDA, counterfeit versions of Merck s cholesterol medication Zocor (simvastatin), as well as carisoprodol, a genetic muscle relaxer, were imported from Mexico by Americans looking for cheap prescription drugs. Tests on the drugs, however, showed the counterfeit Zocor did not contain any active ingredients, and the counterfeit carisoprodol differed in potency compared with the authentic product."
