Abstract
The paper discusses how Robert Browning considers his poem "Pippa Passes" as both a play and poem. The paper explains that as a play, "Pippa Passes" consists of a series of rather disjointed dramatic scenes held together largely by being part of the same work. The paper shows how as a poem, "Pippa Passes" involves a number of poetic experiments and different poetic forms, using elements that would be characteristic of the dramatic monologue style Browning would further develop in later works.

From the Paper
"As a drama, "Pippe Passes" has a setting in which the characters interact and to which they react. That setting is a small Italian mill town. The situation is expressed at the beginning of the opening section, entitled "Day!" Specifically, it is New Year's day at Asolo in the Trevisan. The main character is Pippa, the first person introduced in the piece, a girl who works in the silk mills of the town. She is cheerful and philosophical and speaks directly to the reader in the manner that will become traditional in Browning's dramatic monologues."

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
The paper explores how hospitality providers are capitalizing on the opportunity to differentiate themselves by offering their customers the ability to check in to their flights while still at the hotel. The paper discusses this necessary partnership between airlines and hospitality providers and looks at the key lessons that have been learned about integrating airline systems and hotel networks. The paper also highlights the long-term value of having kiosks in hotel lobbies and shows how kiosks in hotels have grown into an essential part of hospitality providers' services strategies.

Outline:
Introduction
Partnership of Necessity
System and Process Integration
Enabling Greater E-Commerce Though Kiosks
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The hospitality industry's challenge of continually adding differentiated services that streamline and make more efficient their core business segments'' experiences in their locations is essential for their continued financial growth. The business travel is the core segment for the hospitality industry globally. The most problematic areas of business travel however are getting checked in at airlines, getting checked in and out of rental car locations, and also hotels. Looking to differentiate their services and add value, the hospitality industry has begun bundling in check-in and check-out serves for airline flights in addition to rental cars. The pervasive adoption of the Internet is also acting as a catalyst for enabling the integration of airlines check-in kiosks and terminals within hotels."

Abstract
This paper explains that 'passing' does not necessarily have criminal connotations, as black men and women once "passed" to take advantage of greater social and economic opportunities accorded to whites, as does the protagonist of Nella Larson's 1929 novel, "Passing". The author points out that Guare's Kitteridges would never acknowledge that they are racist, and yet they are, if blackness does not conform to their worldview; and the society of Gatsby would never acknowledge that it is criminal, yet it is, as it consumes illegal alcohol. The paper states that the sense of class in American society, like the sense of race, is still fragile enough that these protagonists can fully become a part of its fabric.

From the Paper
"The introduction of Gatsby and Paul to these societies thus makes the hidden hypocrisies of class and race respectively evident and uncomfortably present upon the surfaces of these surface-conscious societies. Of course, strictly speaking neither Paul nor even Gatsby are "passing" in the traditionally understood racial sense of the Harlem Renaissance or the antebellum South. The true definition, one might contend of 'passing' is to pass for white, not to pretend one is Sidney Poiter's son nor that one is of a higher class than one was born to in New York Roaring 20's society. "Passing" is usually understood to be "passing" for the light skin tone of white in the body of a presumably fair-skinned African American."

Abstract
This paper focuses on a moment from Hwang's "M. Butterfly" and Larsen's "Passing", and compares and contrasts the characters and the process of passing. The codes that they have broken also are discussed.

Abstract
This paper examines the intellectual property law of 'passing off'. The paper explains that the law of 'passing off' is a common law right of action in the law of tort and is based on the premise that 'nobody has any right to represent his goods as the goods of somebody else'. The paper looks at how the action is effectively one of unfair competition, and applies generally to situations where there is no registered trademark or any other intellectual property right. The paper then points out that a typical scenario would be when a defendant uses an unregistered trademark normally used by a claimant, and in so doing, represents the goods or services in such a way that the public is deceived into thinking that they are being offered by the claimant. The paper also explores how protection under the law of passing off is very much dependent on how much importance consumers place on the part when purchasing the product in question. In conclusion, the paper shows that the courts generally adopt a restrictive approach towards protecting the descriptive and the functional because granting such protection will have a negative effect on the market, and ultimately this is a question of fact, and the courts will look at all the circumstances of each case before making a decision.

From the Paper
"So long as these criteria are fulfilled, the claimant would have successfully established 'goodwill' for his goods or services, but a descriptive mark runs the greatest risk of becoming too distinctive over time that it is deemed generic. By losing its ability to indicate source, the claimant can no longer rely on the law of passing off to protect the mark. This danger has been highlighted by the case of Linoleum Manufacturing v Nairn [1878], where the public began using the term 'Linoleum' to refer to the product generally, without connoting the source of manufacture. As such, the courts will be reluctant to allow monopoly over such terms so as to promote healthy competition in the marketplace."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Battle of Kasserine Pass, which was the first time inexperienced American soldiers came up against German soldiers, in World War II. The paper describes the history of the battles in Kasserine Pass and the actions of the American, the British and the German troops. It discusses the effects of the battle on the American soldiers and the outcome. It then describes some of the lessons they learned that aided them in eventually winning the war.

From the Paper
"Rommel was impressed by the abundance and speed of American equipment, supplies, and reinforcements that had appeared, and he questioned the strength of his foe. As a cautious effort, Rommel withdrew his forces to the Eastern Dorsal and prepared for an anticipated Allied counteroffensive. A massive British and US air attack on Kasserine Pass quickened his retreat, brutalizing the German forces. Two days later, Kasserine Pass was back under Allied Forces control, which was shortly followed by Rommel being relieved of his command (Rife, 1998/1999)."

Abstract
This paper explores the similarities and differences in "AC/DC Blues" and Larsen's "Passing", and their relation to the representation of female sexuality in African American culture. The author feels that the blue music in the "AC/DC Blues" recording and Nella Larsen's "Passing" are both the products of the "Harlem Renaissance".

From the Paper
" The Harlem Renaissance is the most important period in African-Americans' history. During this period, there were many different and significant social issues and cultures playing crucial roles in history. Many new forms of music, arts and literature are presented. For example, female homosexuality was considered a subculture in the Harlem Renaissance. This phenomenon appeared in both blue music and fiction stories. In this essay, I would like to explore the similarities and differences in "AC/DC Blues" and Larsen's Passing."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the book "The Passing", written in 1929. It shows how, in this period, people were still mainly classified by their skin color. The book deals with the issue of how African-Americans themselves were divided, with the lighter-skinned people being accepted by the "white" society and the darker-skinned people being rejected even by their own.

From the Paper
"Passing refers to the practice of light skinned black people trying to "pass" in white society. If a black person passed, they were thought of as rejecting their own history and heritage. If they could not or chose not to pass, then they were giving up a whole host of privileges and rights that came from being white. These were the Days before the Supreme Court overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, everything was separate, but not any where near equal. If everything was equal, it is hard to imagine a black person who would want to "pass." There was this tug of war then, between heritage and rights that played on the people. Indeed, at the beginning of the novel, Irene runs into her childhood friend Clare, while they are both passing at a fancy Chicago hotel, Clare as a matter of course, and Irene, to avoid the summer heat of Chicago."
