Abstract
This paper provides an overview and explanation of fault tolerance. It specifically focuses on the method of fault tolerance by duplication and discusses this throughout the paper. It also links the advantages of fault tolerance to medical systems in California such as Palomar Pomerado Health.
From the Paper
"Naturally you can see the importance of fault tolerance in a California hospital computer system and network. Situations and emergencies like surgery, patient monitoring and emergency room cases don't leave much margin of error. There is little room to explain that the computer systems failed during a patients surgery- --at least not without expecting an ugly lawsuit."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides an analysis of how three playwrights use duplicity and hypocrisy in their plays to satirize the values of the respective characters and societies in the plays. The playwrights and plays are: Oscar Wilde ("The Importance of Being Earnest"); Tennessee Williams ("Cat On A Hot Tin Roof"); and Rich Orloff ("Nothing Serious").
From the Paper
"Satire readily lends itself to duplicity and hypocrisy in characterization and situations in drama In Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest', Tennessee Williams' 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof' and Rich Orloff's 'Nothing Serious' all three playwrights use duplicity and hypocrisy to satirize the respective values of the communities and characters that populate these plays. This analysis will demonstrate how each of these playwrights uses duplicity and hypocrisy to reinforce the main themes of their respective plays. A conclusion will address the ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the increasing importance being given by the fashion industry to the Internet as a more cost-efficient and higher yielding business platform. According to the paper, fashion is the latest type of industry to discover the overwhelming advantages of marketing products or services online, which seemed unlikely at the start because of the nature of this business. The paper goes on to discuss how it is logical to think that nothing can replace the social experience of feeling the fabric of clothes and trying them on for size and style when one goes shopping offline. The paper reports that the Internet altered this view, such that apparel and accessories have become the largest product online category with $15.2 billion sales yearly in the US alone.

From the Paper
"Most software companies in Korea do not have their own distribution channels, so they pay as much as 40 percent commission to the distributors of their products, which is a major handicap in a competitive environment. The Korean government came to the rescue by putting up the software cybermall in 1998. This Internet shopping mall, which is linked to the websites of online vendors, provides companies with product demonstrations and the capability to purchase products electronically. The Korean Fashion Association complements the government's effort with its own website, which was redesigned in 2007 to offer more updated news on the industry, profiling its members, and featuring a banner of advertisements. It also sponsors workshops, seminars and training courses for designers and managers of fashion houses. "

Abstract
Today, man has progressed so much in the field of science that it has claimed to possess the power and knowledge to duplicate any living organism. In the year 1997, scientists at the Roslin Institute, Scotland, announced that they had successfully cloned a sheep. Proudly naming it "Dolly", this event led to a series of concerns all across the globe. Many rejoiced at this effort and were supportive, while others felt that man was trying to play God. Debates on ethical and moral aspects of this achievement were conducted and people including religious sectors denounced this process. It should also be noted that Dolly was not the first animal to be cloned. The first animal to be cloned was a tadpole done more than four decades before Dolly.
From the Paper
"Human cloning and cloning in general brings a lot of ethical and moral issues. People and religious institutions brand this as man interfering with nature or man trying to play God. They feel that the act of producing life belongs to God alone and cloning should be avoided and not conducted under any circumstances. Christianity believes that man is made in the image of God and is created in uniqueness hence they say that if human cloning would be practiced then that would be man being created in the image of man rather than God. Hence they along with nearly all the major religions condemn the act of human cloning."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The pharmaceutical companies have found that Wall Street is still supportive of their stocks. A recent front-page article in the Wall Street Journal assailed on $100-million-a-year nutritional supplement company, which is growing at the rate of 20% per year, for having a one-man R&D department while pharmaceutical companies require huge outlays for R&D as well as FDA clinical studies. The WSJ reporter felt it was unfair for nutritional supplement companies to be able to make health claims on their products while drug manufacturers have to undergo extensive studies for the same right."

Abstract
This paper explains that limiting elderly health care is a substantial ethical question. The author points out that the current health system is based upon gaining profits by cutting corners on standard preventative care and by offering substantially overblown services to those who can afford to pay for them or who have no voice to say no. The paper urges that cost caps be set on new technology, pharmaceutical profits, administrative inefficiency, and the reduction in duplicate services.
From the Paper
"Within the debate, there are some foundational ideas associated with just how the costs for elderly care will be covered. The ideas are sound, even when argued by those who advocate severe restrictions for the care of elderly. Gleaning from this debate the actual meat of the problem and the solution can be difficult but the most reasonable summation of the issue is made by Alan Sager, who by the way advocates for guaranteed full access to health care by the elderly, "Priorities must be set democratically. Community representatives, patient advocates, organized workers, and other affected parties---not just physicians and hospital administrators---should make the difficult decisions about how to allocate resources..."

Abstract
This paper states that cloning appeared to be the closest realization and rationalization of Hitler's delusion of a master race. The author points out that cloning seems to be quite tempting to a dictator-parent who wants her offspring to replicate her exclusively or to a narcissistic father who wants to see himself in an exact-duplicate offspring that repeats him like a mirror. The paper stresses that, even when the public is sufficiently educated on the genetic cloning of human beings to handle the darkest suspicions and fears, questions arise as to the social and moral interests and rights of human clones, the moral consequences of human cloning itself, and the probability that people would become more motivated to reproduce children by cloning than in the way nature intends, which is sexually and at random.
From the Paper
"Hitler thought that people could cooperate with nature's law by not mating with those of either higher or lower biological orders, but by letting the higher order "triumph". He wrote: "The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he does so, it is merely because he is of a feebler nature and narrower mind (Hitler)". He stood firmly on what he considered a most perceivable and empirical progression in nature and that, if this were not the position taken, the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable or possible at all."

"While humanity finds more inhumane and destructive ways of annihilating itself, conversely it also seeks out ways to escape that annihilation through some sort of continued thread of immortality. One can only imagine the furthered accomplishments of Einstein on his study of physical relativity if he had been graced with 25-50 more years. What would be the artwork left behind by Picasso or the new film visions of Stanley Kubrick, had they been able to submit to a few more earthly years of existence?
While some ancient civilizations constructed monoliths and statuary dedicated to the relevance of their civilization s immortality, and some ancient rulers dedicated their rule to the building of great structures to imprint their immortality upon the face of the earth, the human desire to live beyond our mere ..."

Abstract
Many Americans and others around the world grew up knowing and loving Walt Disney and the world that he created. From 1955, when Disney opened his first theme park in Anaheim, California, there was the thought that Disney would reach around the world, as many visitors from around the world came to visit the park in Anaheim and the duplicate park in Orlando. Disney proved it could move around the world and, therefore, opened its first international park in 1983 in Tokyo, Japan and then in Paris, France in 1992. There are many issues that Disney experienced with both of the international parks, but most notably, the one in France. This paper discusses Disney's experience in France, the global impact of Disney's business, as well as the evolving nature of the global economy and its effect on Disney's operations.
From the Paper
"First, Disney is constantly looking for ways to build their business on a global level as over the past 20 years the business of Disney has grown from Anaheim to Tokyo to France and beyond. Only three years after the expansion of Disney's park system to Tokyo, Japan, Disney looks to take on Europe. Disney felt that Europeans should be the next to fall more in love with Disney. "When word got out that Disney wanted to build another international theme park, officials from more than 200 locations all over the world descended on Disney with pleas and cash inducements to work the Disney magic in their hometowns" (Huey, 1995). Because of the economic impact felt in Tokyo with the addition of the theme park there these officials wanted to realize the impact of a large global corporation in their respective communities and countries, however Disney was already looking toward France. Although there was a slow start due to cultural differences the park begins to show a profit and increase the global presence of Disney."

Abstract
This paper describes how England took up the Spanish idea of placing groups of imported settlers in the sixteenth century and put it in practice both close to home, in Ireland and across the ocean in North America. It analyzes how the English used Ireland as a subject for imitation, not as an apprenticeship, as was shown by their inability to create new policies to govern in a different continent and their use of unsuccessful ones. It looks at how their justifications for colonizing North America came directly from Irish sources and how the comparisons of the Gaelic Irish to the Amerindians convinced most Englishmen that use of extralegal force was necessary in order to duplicate English "civility" in the New World.
From the Paper
"The process of developing official policy concerning the colonies also suggests that Ireland was not used as a model. In fact, it appears that the English relied more heavily on the Spanish precedent in both countries over their own experience, particularly in their justification of the transplantation of natives, which they compared to the Spanish removal of the Moors from Granada. Although the two colonies were dealt with in many cases in very different ways, certain elements remained constant. The main problem of colonization came from how to find capital to fund experiments when the lands held no precious metals, which was eventually solved in both Ireland and North America by the exportation of other raw materials."
