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 relates that cloning as a scientific activity holds much promise in alleviating many of society's medical issues. The paper examines the concept of cloning in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and shows how cloning today as a medical and scientific activity is far from Huxley's vision of a world of human duplicates. The paper maintains that cloning human beings is not being advocated by anyone in the scientific community and it was Huxley who moved the public psyche to associate cloning with carbon copy human beings. The paper accuses the public of mania and emphasizes that the vast majority of cloning research is concerned only with cloning single cells and tissues associated with treating specific diseases and illnesses.

From the Paper
"Supporters of cloning have a substantial amount of sound scientific evidence as well as a surfeit of informal evidence that establishes a case for active research in cloning. Unfortunately, the concept of cloning received short shrift in Huxley's Brave New World where the author moved cloning in the public consciousness from the mere conceptual to the livid by by-passing the scientific process completely. That is, where in reality cloning full-blown human beings is not being advocated by anyone in the scientific community, Huxley moved the public psyche from the idea to associating cloning with carbon copy human beings who would somehow be devoid of human qualities but desire them none-the-less: "But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." (288). Thus, the entire research process and the simple development of cloned tissues used in treating various illnesses and afflictions, for example, were by-passed and suddenly cloning was equated with moral reprehensibility. Yet, the reality is that cloning as a medical and scientific activity is far less romanticized as a human activity that popping out human duplicates left and right."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the use of computers in almost every aspect of daily life. The writer maintains that the computer creates a virtual reality, which merely mirrors and duplicates what can be accomplished in the real world. Further, the writer notes that prior to computers, people did many of the same things, however, those activities took a much longer amount of time. Therefore, while today one can still accomplish the same things, it is difficult or impossible to accomplish as many of them. The writer concludes that as a result, daily life would change dramatically without the use of computers.

From the Paper
"First and foremost, I use computers to communicate. One of the first things I do in the morning is wake up and check my e-mail. I use e-mail to communicate with family members, friends, professors, and business associates. The most convenient aspect about e-mail is that I am able to quickly and efficiently communicate with someone, even when we are not available at the same time for a discussion. Therefore, e-mail gives me much of the immediacy of the telephone, but allows for variations in schedules. I continue to use the computer to communicate throughout the day. For example, I am frequently use instant messaging features on my computer and text messaging features on my cellular phone to remain in contact with friends and family. In this way, I am able to multitask; carrying on my regular activities while remaining connected. In addition, by using phone features over the internet, I am able to phone people long distance at a cost of pennies on the dollar of regular long-distance services. Therefore, I find that the computer is very helpful for communication."

Abstract
This paper explains that Andrew North's article on Afghanistan points out how much commentary duplicates imperialist views of Afghans and Afghanistan as violent, ungovernable and unaccountable. The author relates several theoretical sources belonging to post-colonial theory and others, which help to substantiate observations made. The paper suggests that old notions of Afghanistan suit current American and British foreign policy objectives.

From the Paper
"This paper refers to several motifs that are rather old, in presenting the Afghan people to Westerners, as `other' than Europeans, as found in a recent BBC South Asia article. The reader who is interested in the history of South Asia, or of Afghanistan, will spot several tendencies that render this piece not only orientalist, but a piece of propaganda, given Britain's considerable role in backing the American invasion of President George Bush. The article plays on what readers may believe that they `know' about Afghanistan and about the Afghan people, with important aspects of the Afghan conflict missing."

Abstract
This paper examines how motion pictures and television are audio-visual mediums and how they engage both our visual and aural senses. It looks at how the meaning and emotion of a piece is commonly thought to come from the image and that the sound at best just duplicates the meanings from the image. It explores how music combines with, adds to and enhances moving image in many ways and how it can heighten and refine emotion as well as meaning.

From the Paper
"The tone of music can be used to create meaning and generate mood in a scene or in a production as a whole. In The Empire Strikes Back the rebels attempt to flee from the empire. During this sequence Darth Vader's and the rebels leitmotif is heard. Vader's motif is played at an increased tempo and higher pitch to normal. The function of this change is to show the imminent danger of the empire and Vader's likely success in capturing the rebels. The rebels leitmotif is played but does not contain the opening and perhaps most identifiable phase. The tone is slightly deeper, the pace slightly slower and is mixed up in and slightly drown out by other sound effects. The function of this use of sound is to put the out come of the situation in doubt and make the rebels attempt at escaping unlikely. When the rebels do escape the distinctive opening to their motif is played at normal pitch and tempo and without the distraction of other sounds. This functions to signal their success but also the finality of the scene. The leitmotifs and the tone of the motifs are used to guide the spectator through narrative change."

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
This paper looks at the various characters and how the characteristics of each are evident in others as well. All of the characters show similar psychological effects as a result of the society in which they live. The paper explains each one's role and the story overall.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Les Caves du Vatican" by Andre Gide concerns a variety of characters, and the issue of freedom as exemplified by the main character, Lafcadio. Lafcadio is the main representative of freedom, while the other major characters represent varying degrees of neuroses and bondage imposed by the society in which they live. To demonstrate this, Gide as it were binds each major character to another by providing them with traits at the opposite side of each scale. He does this with the exception of Lafcadio, who being free from convention and all other forms of bondage, is not bound by the author either. Protos, the clever charlatan is then paired with the na've and victimized Amedee, while the practically scientific Anthime is paired with Julius, the fanatically religious but also hypocritical novelist."

Abstract
Napster 1.0 , launched in 1999, allows Internet users to share, upload, and download MP3 files directly from any computer connected to the Napster network free of charge. This paper provides background on Napster and similar sites. This paper examines principals of the RIAA (Recoding Industry Association of America) in suing consumers who disregard the copyright laws, including its lawsuit against Napster. The paper also examines Napster's views and arguments on the lawsuit. The paper includes an outline.

From the Paper
"Contrary to recent reports through the RIAA, and despite a wave of lawsuits unleashed by the recording industry, college students appear to be downloading just as much music illegally as they did in past years. The Chronicle reports that they see little evidence that the industry's efforts are presenting any significant impact other than profit making capabilities to new and upcoming legal networks. Music sharing, many experts say, continues almost unabated on college campus networks. The only way for music companies to compete near the same level is by making music easily accessible and cheaper to purchase."

From the Paper
"Repetition and Mirror Images in Othello Among the techniques Shakespeare uses in his plays to achieve dramatic and thematic effects is the leitmotif. He chooses an image, or an idea and uses it throughout a play to emphasize his insights. In King Lear, Shakespeare makes repeated reference to eyes and blindness. In Macbeth, he makes repeated reference to blood. In Othello, a play in which Shakespeare is addressing the question of honesty and duplicity, he uses repetition and mirror image as a leitmotif.

Although it is tempting to frame Shakespeare's Othello as a play about jealousy, much as one might characterize Hamlet as a play about indecision and Macbeth as a play about ambition, such ..."
