Abstract
The paper discusses Todd R. Wagner and his plans to revolutionize the movie distribution network as a means to cut down on piracy. The paper explains that Wagner intends to try releasing films simultaneously in theaters, on DVD, and on one of the two cable channels, effectively collapsing Hollywood's drawn-out release schedules. The paper concludes that while Wagner's idea may have merit, it has yet to be tested on a major Hollywood production.
From the Paper
"Wagner has not really tried the simultaneous release plan as yet. He produced the movie Godsend in 2004 and released the film to theaters in April, then releasing the DVD in August. That is a short release date, though not so short that the studios have not done the same, but it is also far from a simultaneous release. He also produced the film The Jacket and released it in March 2005, with the DVD release in June."

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

Table of Contents

"Blood Pollution"
Ortrud, Judaism and Paganism.
Purity and Foolishness
Lust and the Loss of Naivete
From the Paper
"Although Richard Wagner?s operas Lohengrin and Parsifal were written more than thirty years apart, they share many similar themes. Both dramas are intensely religious, although Wagner spent most of his adult life as an atheist, or at best, an agnostic. A closer look at the characters in each opera presents Wagner?s favorite archetype, but their interactions and fates are not necessarily the same. Lohengrin, written at the beginning of Wagner?s professional career, and Parsifal, written in the last years of his life, exemplify the evolution of a personal philosophy."

"The relationship between Judiciary and Executive/Legislature in a country like India has always been contentious. The 57 years of the working of the Indian Constitution has more than once seen a supremacy tussle between the Judiciary and Executive on one hand and the Legislature on the other. One of the most inextricable reason of such a tussle has always been the Ninth Schedule which has more or less met its fate with the I.R.Coelho judgment. However, for a deeper and an unbiased understanding, it would be better to start from the history of the Ninth Schedule."

Bayreuth and Wagner, 2004.
A look at the staging of Wagner's operas in the German town of Bayreuth.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Bayreuth, a small town in Bavaria, Germany, is the site of the dream of one of the Romantic period?s greatest composers, Richard Wagner. In particular, it focuses on "Der Ring des Nibelungen", or Ring Cycle, his opera of massive proportions, which required much more than the average opera, an opera house which was built specifically for its performance in Bayreuth. It shows how the building of the Festival House in Bayreuth was both one of Wagner?s greatest achievements and a factor in one of his greatest losses and how, after his death, Wagner?s widow, Cosima, carried on his wishes to have each of his latter operas performed in Bayreuth. It discusses how the festivals suffered slightly because of her strict adherence to the old ideas and how, because of this, the performers were based less on talent than on their willingness to follow her instructions.
From the Paper
"Wagner had very specific desires on what type of town would hold his opera house. He wanted ?one of the less large towns in Germany, favourably sited and capable of accommodating an unusual number of guests, and in particular a town in which there would be no danger of clashing with a large existing theatre.? (Wagner, iv) He did not want the actual house to be of any extravagance either; he thought to make it only of wood, only desiring to make the place large enough to properly perform his cycle. Wagner chose Bayreuth not only because it fit his description but also because it was close to his patron (King Ludwig II of Bavaria) and because certain town authorities were eager to assist Wagner."

Abstract
Richard Wagner, the monumental composer, dramatist, philosopher, and poet of nineteenth century Germany transformed the tradition of German music and art through the unique genius of his work. Wagner believed that art, in order to be powerful and fundamental to a nation, must be founded upon a myth that is shared by all those that encounter the art. Dissatisfied with the already developed tradition of Greek myth from Homer and onward, Wagner believed that somewhere in history, the myth fundamental to the distinct German spirit could be found and developed.

A Review of Christopher R. Browning?s "Ordinary Men", 2001.
This review of Christopher R. Browning?s "Ordinary Men" examines the Nazi soldiers' psyche during the holocaust.

Abstract
This paper reviews Christopher R. Browning?s "Ordinary Men," and its analysis of Nazi soldiers that murdered innocent civilians in the holocaust. The paper shows the methods used by the soldiers to rationalize their actions even though many of them were morally opposed to what they were ordered to do.
From the paper:
"It is understandably commonplace to refer to Hitler as a monster, as inhuman. It is also, by extension, equally commonplace to refer to the Nazis who obeyed him as monsters as well. Yet before the implementation of the madness that was the ?Final Solution? in Germany and Eastern Europe, these Nazi soldiers were human beings like ourselves, individuals who lived in a world only a half-century or so before ours. They made ethical decisions on a day-to-day basis. They were ordinary men, according to Christopher R. Browning, who committed acts of extraordinary cruelty. The thesis of his book, appropriately titled 'Ordinary Men,' provides a less comforting view of the foot soldiers of the Holocaust than is tempting to take. But it is ultimately more ethically illuminating?these men were not monsters, Browning suggests, they were ordinary men who provide an example for us all how low we can sink if we are not vigilant in resisting the evil that exists around us."

Abstract
There are very marked differences between the sexuality in lyrics and videos of Rap songs and R&B songs as a whole.

Instead, it is the purpose of this paper to examine the expression of sexuality in the lyrics and videos of six songs (three Rap and three R&B). The exploration will pay particular attention to the treatment and portrayal of women in these images and what they seem to be saying about gender and society.

However, in today's world, characterized by ever increasing global competition, companies as well as governments put their emphasis on organized innovation in their strive for accelerating the process of obtaining technological advance. Organized innovation refers to innovations as the outcome of systematic investments in research and development (R&D) in order to achieve competitive advantage."
