	Death of a Salesman
		Correlatively, diamonds, the discovery of which made Ben a fortune, symbolize Willy’s failure as a salesman.
		Symbols are objects, characters, figures, or colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts.
		Trying to achieve what he considers to be Singleman’s heroic status, Willy commits himself to a pathetic death and meaningless legacy (even if Willy’s life insurance policy ends up paying off, Biff wants nothing to do with Willy’s ambition for him).

	CILOG User Manual -- 10 Negation-as-failure
		The interaction of negation as failure and the depth-bound is handled correctly.
		The interaction of negation as failure with assumables isn't satisfactory.
		It is recommended that you don't use both assumables and negation as failure.

	Fault Tree Analysis software
		Fault tree analysis uses a set of graphical symbols to represent the logical and mathematical relationship between events and their lower level inputs or causes.
		Fault tree analysis can also consider multiple concurrent failure modes, or even failure modes that must occur in a given sequence to produce the end effect of interest.
		In contrast to failure mode and effects analysis, which uses inductive reasoning to identify potential failure modes and their effects, fault tree analysis uses deductive reasoning to identify the fault events, modes and causes that will result in a given effect.

	After Y2K ... the new millennium is a laugh!
		Despite his many achievements, the failure to construct his calculating machines, and in particular the failure of the government to support his work, left Babbage in his declining years a disappointed and embittered man. He died at his home in Dorset Street, London, on October 18, 1871.
		The concept of 'the Turing machine' is like that of 'the formula' or 'the equation'; there is an infinity of possible Turing machines, each corresponding to a different 'definite method' or algorithm.
		Additionally, the abstract Universal Turing Machine naturally exploits what was later seen as the 'stored program' concept essential to the modern computer: it embodies the crucial twentieth-century insight that symbols representing instructions are no different in kind from symbols representing numbers.

		If the language does not contain function symbols, the existence of winning strategies can still be stated using, instead of function symbols, special relation symbols taken to represent functions.
		Indeed, the failure of the perfectness assumption is one of the principle motivations for the development and study of IF logics.
		A special form of the Skolem normal form theorem can be used in skolemising disjunctions, the only addition being that one can conjoin each disjunct with a Skolem function that has values in {1, 2}.

	Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, Philippines
		A plebiscite on 14 August 2001 in the 14 provinces and cities of Mindanao and Palawan, asking them whether they wanted to join the ARMM, was a big failure.
		The flag of Sulu province, with arms in center where you can see the Christian and Muslim symbols, the Philippine sun, and the Mecca doors.
		This flag was therefore already obsolete when the book Symbols of the State was published in 1975, and the book evidently does contain the flag of the province that succeeded the city.

	National Symbolism in Belarus: the Past and Present.
		In the 1980s, the Pahonya and the white, red and white flag becamethewell-known symbols of Belarus and independence, while their public demonstration was unambiguously interpreted by the authorities and their opponents as an act of national resistance.
		As a result of the continuing collapse of the Soviet empire and the failure of the coup attempt in Moscow earlier in August, the ruling elite in Belarus was ready to do anything to retain power in the country.
		The Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its Belarusian local branch were banned on August 25, 1991, and those in power found the communist symbols of little practical use.

	Dallas Willard ARTICLES
		To insist that such a "logic" is a logic may well be some form of self-deception, and at best must involve a failure, for whatever reasons, to see the facts of the case.
		The function of a calculus, and the symbols within it, simply is essentially different from the function of a language and the symbols within it--as Wittgenstein was to rediscover some four or five decades later.
		Logic, and that currently most interesting part of it called "formal semantics,' is done upon the assumption of clarity about certain fundamental questions having to do with the basic nature of the subject matter and the mode of logical studies.

	The Redefinition of Memes: Ascribing Meaning to an Empty Cliché
		With this definition, memes are repackaged as symbols and their impact on management is not that of a viral contagion but rather as an indicator of success and change in environmental niches.
		Memes can be short-lived due to the failure of their communicative efficacy or the failure of the niche they represent or both.
		Memes would be studied for their catalytic roles and managers would be taught sensitivity to the conditions that aid and hinder the evolution of such catalysts.

	When Did the asteroids Become Minor Planets?
		And the U.S. Naval Observatory adopted the use of the new symbols in 1863 with the publication of its observations from 1852.
		The Royal Greenwich Observatory began labeling observations of the asteroids with the new symbols beginning in 1858 with the publication of observations from 1856.
		The failure of this dual categorization is noteworthy because Ceres, the first asteroid discovered, is estimated to contain 30-40% of the mass of the asteroid belt, while Pallas and Vesta combined are nearly as massive as Ceres.

	"How the Media Frames Political Issues" by Scott London
		The erosion of confidence between public and government is at least partially on account of the media's failure "in its role as a free and independent press.
		There is a substantial body of research dealing with framing in general; the sociological tradition has focused for the most part on story lines, symbols and stereotypes of media presentations, while the psychological literature has dealt for the most part with ideological or value perspectives.
		The failure to see journalism as a democratic means rather than an end unto itself is perhaps symptomatic of the gulf between press and public.

	Iranian Leftism is a Reactionary Force
		Hasn't failure after failure of communism been enough for these people to see that their whole ideology is a backward thinking, like the ideology of the Islamists, that has been hurting Iran and Iranians, the thinking which was responsible for their support of Khomeini in 1979 and hostage-taking in its aftermath.
		They are symbols of a reactionary thinking which tries its best to become like a melli-mazhabi version of the remainder of leftist religion, mixing leftism with Iranian nationalism.
		When I write Leftism is a reactionary ideology in our times, some people tell me that so and so leftist is not a "traditional" leftist and is a "progressive" leftist.

	Welcome to Sentinel
		According to an official release here today, the Commission had asked the party to intimate its preference of symbol to be allotted as reserved symbol of the party in Nagaland or indicate three symbols in order of preference and also to submit the design and drawing of the symbols immediately.
		Talking to The Sentinel, a section of the agitators vehemently criticized the Chief Minister of Assam, Mr Tarun Gogoi for his failure to protect the people of the State from the torture by the Army.
		Mr Marak said the party’s central leaders were also expected to participate in the August 20 meeting, which would deliberate on performance of the government, present law and order situation and political development after the possible merger of the MDP and the United Democratic Party.

	Ra - Unipedia
		The symbols of Ra are the solar symbols of a golden disk or the symbol ⊙ (Circle with a point at its centre).
		Temporary failure to protect Ra was said to be the cause of solar eclipses, and difficulty in doing so was said to cause bad weather.
		He was also associated with the Phoenix, as he rose again each night in flames.

	American Renaissance July 2000 Issue
		Southern traditionalists and Civil War buffs honor the Confederate flag and similar symbols for a variety of reasons, but those symbols are as much a part of general American history as the "Don't Tread On Me" rattlesnake flag of the American Revolution or the Lone Star flag of the Republic of Texas.
		The school district of Kansas City, Missouri, is famous as a spectacular failure in the attempt to persuade Americans that race doesn't matter.
		In this new order, whites—whether Southern or not—would be denied any public affirmation of their cultural and historical identity, and the denial of their identity would more easily allow their cultural and political subjugation to the non-white majority that has been projected to emerge in the United States in the next half century.

	FTA
		Fault Tree Analysis, or FTA, provides a method of breaking down these chains of failures, with a key addition for identifying combinations of faults that cause other faults.
		The failure of an item in a system is often caused by the failure of other items.
		Combinations of faults come in two main types: (a) where several items must fail together to cause another item to fail (an 'and' combination), and (b) where only one of a number of possible faults need happen to cause another item to fail (an 'or' combination).

	Language Log: Cargo cult linguistics
		And just as the failure of cargo to arrive as expected led to social crises and theological reformations in the South Seas, the failure of stable insight to emerge in Paris led to "rapid changes in theory" and to "mobile" concepts expressed in an increasingly opaque style.
		This seems to be a form of religious syncretism, in which the symbols and rituals of historically different cults are similarly made to "grind ceaselessly against each other".
		Just as some post-war islanders in the South Pacific engaged in ritual imitations of the airstrip activities of foreign armies, in the belief these actions would bring them cargo, so some post-war philosophers in Paris engaged in ritual imitations of the analytic practices of linguists, in the belief that these actions would bring them insight.

	4.2 Redundancy Management
		The major concern in managing space redundancy is the elimination of failures caused by a fault to a function or resource that is common to all of the space-redundant units.
		The goal of fault tolerance is to intercept the propagation of faults so that failure does not occur, usually by substituting redundant functions for functions affected by a particular fault.
		Computer systems are vulnerable to common-mode resource failures if they rely on a single source of power, cooling, or I/O. A more insidious source of common-mode failures is a design fault that causes redundant copies of the same software process to fail under identical conditions.

	CliffsNotes::The Prince:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Though she was fickle and uncertain, she was also the bringer of good luck and abundance, and one of her symbols was an overflowing cornucopia.
		Fortuna embodied the tawdry and transitory glory of the world that the thoughtful Christian must seek to transcend by focusing on the unchangeable goods of virtue and faith, which had eternal glory in Heaven.
		The figure of the goddess Fortuna, luck or fortune, was derived from Classical Roman mythology, where she was often portrayed in a positive light.

	On Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
		Gawain's double failure to honour the rules of the game between him and his host and to take the axe blow without flinching expose the limits of his virtue and teach him something important about himself.
		The poem explicitly describes for us the particular qualities which are on trial, for Gawain carries out into the wilderness the symbols of his virtue—the pentangle on the outside of his shield (in gold)—a figure indicating the seamless interlocking of his spiritual, intellectual, and social virtues—and the picture of Mary on the inside.
		In Arthur's court, greenness is a nice colour to have on a decorative piece of clothing—there seems to be little sense that the colour green, as represented in the person of Green Knight or his wife's girdle, might be a reminder of something more important than courtly clothing.

	Can Reading Failure be Reversed? - Title
		In the AAVE version, italics indicate current black idiom and slang; the "[0]" symbols show the deletion of elements of verb to be and other elements of the auxiliary; bold type shows positive features of non-standard grammar, some common to other dialects, and other (like habitual be) specific to AAVE.
		These particles are not tied to any particular time reference, do not show the syntactic behavior of auxiliaries that are subordinated to an inflectional node and follow the standard patterns of inversion, tag formation, adverb or negative placement.
		The Creole grammatical pattern referred to here is that noun phrases and the locatives show copulas, adjectives and verbs do not: this is always a basilectal structure, typical of those speakers who are most remote from the superordinate colonial language.

	OBELISKS OF ROME
		Several obelisks were repaired, turned from pagan to Christian monuments by the addition of new inscriptions, topped with a cross and with the heraldic symbols of the pope and eventually moved to the center of a piazza or in front of a basilica.
		Bernini had not been invited to submit a project for the fountain, as the Pope reproached him for his too close connection with his predecessor Urbanus VIII and for the technical failure of his attempt to erect St Peter's bell towers.
		The obelisk was originally erected by Psammetichus II in the 7th century B.C. and then brought to Rome by Augustus who placed it as a sundial in a vast square (Horologium Divi Augusti) where its shadow indicated the hours of the day and the days of the year.
