This far-ranging satire explores the interplay of industrialization, class, race, and
international politics in a world of commodified labor. 4 Limbo. Bernard Wolfe.
Memorandum To: Dr. James Holten From: Greg Koch Date: Sunday, March 2, 2008 Subject: Database, Admin, and Employee structure I have been working on devising a method of organization for the databases and the data we will be storing in them. The admin side of the website should be a GUI for the databases, allowing (approved) users to insert content to the database and manipulate the data that is already there. Every user will have access to the database, but with different access levels (access key is stored in the users table). Below is a proposed table of access levels Access Key

View Catalog Update Content Update Catalog Add or Remove Users All usernames are stored in plain text, and their matching password will use MD5 to encrypt the password (so a password can not be retrieved by looking it up in the database). This ensures a certain level of security for the users. I think the best place to store the content of the website is also in the database, this allows us to control who has access to edit the files. It also allows us to create a backend that control the templates and look and feel of the website, so it is uniform. I have created a database layout that should be useable in the project. We may need to add more tables or columns as the project progresses, depending on the amount of automation and database integration we desire. I have included a MYSQL dump (structure and sample data) of this database, as well as a structure table layout.

location desc This timeless fable of biological manipulation explores scientific power in the hands of an imperialist unbound by community or ethical standards. In this early and perhaps greatest 20th-century dystopia, the mechanization of public and private life motivates a stunning cautionary tale. This far-ranging satire explores the interplay of industrialization, class, race, and international politics in a world of commodified labor. What happens to people and to society when the rich, both wounded and hale, can choose to remake their bodies? Science and religion play against each other in this great post-holocaust novel. In a world that is awash in future technologies, language is manipulated both for and against the preservation of our way of life.
