...Good evening Class of 2017! It is with immense honor that I am on this podium addressing you tonight. To assist me up here, I'd like to invite Señor Hobart. [Pull out stuffed monkey.] Orange like a Husky see. First, a little about Señor Hobart. He hangs over me every night, ensuring that I sleep soundly. A little, orange monkey to ward away the evils in the dark. As a freshman, I was cleaning out my closet but couldn't bear to let him go. Two reasons: he's memorabilia that allows me to reminisce simpler times, and also an opportunity for reflection to see far how I've gotten. By reminiscing, we're able to enjoy the times that mean so much to us. From confused freshmen and aspiring sophomores to grudging juniors and relieved seniors, we've accomplished...

...1. Abstract This paper provide an overview perservation and conversation in archive. Preservation and conservation are two related concepts that are used interchangeably by people outside the archives. Digital preservation builds on a base level of disaster recovery, extending the scope of concern into the distant future. Digital preservation goes beyond addressing problems with restoring data to its current state to creating processes and infrastructure capable of carrying data forward hundreds of years, assuming that any formats, media, and equipment in place today will be obsolete and unsupported. It is usually impposible to identify the current owners of the copyright in archival materials. Other than that, any material or records that are sent and received by an individual or government agency. Fluctuations are more damaging than high temperature and humidity. The material is exposed to light can damage the archive materials. The electronic security devices such as the CCTV camera, electronics gates system, fire protection devices should be provided by the relevant authorities. To control safe storage and provide for future rendering of the digital documents, extra functionality was needed. Archiving policies and the required sets of metadata and file types to be archived are difficult to generalize because individual archives have different historical and cultural backgrounds, which means the requirements for the archiving system are quite different. ...

...Unit Title: Archive Information OCR Unit Number: 220 1.1 Information should be archived when it is not required on a day to day basis but needs to be retained for a certain period. It needs to be easily accessed and understood in the future. Information should be archived to increase the security of the data so that only authorised people can access it. Another reason why information should be archived is so that it frees up space in the workplace to ensure that the place is not cramped with information that is not required frequently and to make sure that it is a pleasant clutter- free place to work in. 1.2 The purpose of agreeing retention dates is to ensure that the organisation has compliance with the Skill Funding Agency which requires learner files to be held on to for 5 years. It is important for staff to know the retention periods before archiving so that there is no risk of archiving information that is not relevant and can be destroyed and also to ensure that there is no risk of destroying information that is still within its retention period which could cause huge problems to the organisation. Another purpose for agree retention periods is so that the archiving system can be kept organised and space on the hard-drive is not being wasted in information that doesn’t need to be kept anymore and it makes it easier for specific information to be found and accessed when needed as there are less files to look through. 1.3 When archiving information it...

...Archives are selected from among the great mass of records, and are preserved, for one primary reason so that they may be available for use by those needing the information they contain. During the past thirty years or so, many archives have moved away from what was essentially a passive stance (making records available on request if there was no objection by the transferring authorities to their use) to an active role involving efforts to make the research materials in their custody available as soon as national security and personal privacy considerations permit, undertaking outreach programs aimed at informing potential users of their content and availability, and actively encouraging the exploitation of archives as a means of bettering society therefore this essay is designed to discuss the statement that archives are old documents which have no value to society, this will be done by looking at the importance of archives it will first start by defining the key term which is archive. Existed since ancient times, According to James O’Toole (1990), the term “archives” was originally used to “designate all collections of written records”. In the modern world, however, the word “archives” is commonly used in three different senses. First, archives are documents that are created or accumulated by an individual or an organization in the normal course of business. Second, archives are the independent agencies or programs within institutions that are responsible for selecting, preserving...

...Because I work in banking, every day I am assigned the task of getting potential members and members who are already with the bank, to try our new products and services. It is not enough to tell them about the new service or product, I have to develop new taglines to outline the benefits of that new product. The key to an effective tagline is not the tagline itself it is how it is pitched to each customer. I cannot talk to every customer the same because each customer is different. What I have to do is manipulate the tagline with different wordings or, in some instances, different accents. I had to figure out how to pitch a taglines to different kinds of members to better suit that group of members. To put this experiment together was quite simple because I see a variety of people throughout my day and I have so many opportunities to see how people respond that day and the days after. The theory I had was that my older members respond to southern accents, the male members respond to deeper or sultry tones, and the younger member base respond to upbeat or higher pitched tones of my voice. To test this, I developed a universal tagline, a tagline that caters to all of our products and services. The tagline was “Let us do a financial review with you to show you how to save money with your account.” I had used this tagline before and I had proof that it worked by looking at my previous referral sheet. This was the archival research that I had but I also had the naturalistic observations...

...The US National Archives is like a great-grandma’s attic, chock full of family memorabilia just waiting for the family’s historian to dig through it. It’s a treasure chest of historical documents and information about our nation’s history. With 14 regional offices across the country, the original National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is located in Washington, DC and holds two of the most valued, most revered resources for the Civil War researcher. They are Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR) and Civil War Pension Files. This month we’re going to take a look at Compiled Military Service Records. After the war in the late 1880s, Brigadier General Fred C. Ainsworth was head of the Record and Pension Office in the War Department....

...The Four Musicians of Bremen In the story a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster, all past their prime years in life and usefulness on their respective farms, were soon to be discarded or mistreated by their masters. One by one they leave their homes and set out together. They decide to go to Bremen, known for its freedom, to live without owners and become musicians there. On the way to Bremen, they see a lighted cottage; they look inside and see four robbers enjoying their ill-gotten gains. Standing on each others backs, they decide to perform for the men in hope of gaining food. Their 'music' has an unanticipated effect; the men run for their lives, not knowing what the strange sound is. The animals take possession of the house, eat a good meal, and settle in for the evening. Later that night, the robbers return and send one of their members in to investigate. It is dark and he sees the eyes of the Cat shining in the darkness. He reaches over to light his candle, thinking he sees the coals of the fire. Things happen in quick succession; the Cat swipes his face with her claws, the Donkey picks up his hooves and kicks him, the Dog bites him on the leg, and the Rooster crows and chases him out the door, screaming. He tells his companions that he was beset by a horrible witch who scratched him with her long fingers (the Cat), a man with a knife (the Dog), a monster who had hit him with a club (the Donkey), and worst of all, the devil who screamed from the rooftop (the Rooster)...

...1 To what extent is the cork industry guilty of complacency and a lack of innovation? The cork industry is guilty of complacency and lack of innovation because they failed to recognize the changes in the wine industry. The wine industry was experiencing a revolution where new producers from Australia, California and Chile had new and different requirements. It took only a matter of years for the industry to change completely and the cork industry did not jump on the band wagon when it needed to. It allows the competition to get the edge. 2 If consumers love corks, why are the producers not providing what their customers want? The reason being is because the wine industry has changed significantly over the past twenty years. The historical dominant producers of Europe – France, Germany, Italy, and Spain – are being challenged by new wine producers such as California, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, etc. The new producers have developed international wine brands which have changed the wine market. The international brand has demanded a consistent product with little variation. Unlike the traditional wine product which had a degree of variety dependent on the grape, the climate and production. Also they buyers were changing due to supermarket chains. 3 Is it wine quality or costs that have driven producers to synthetic? It has a combination of a bit of both however if I had to choose one it would be that producers are driven by cost. The reason I say this...

...E-Mail Netiquette Typing in all caps is used in an email for shouting or yelling and it is rude. If you just use capital letters where they belong then it sounds more as if you are having a conversation, asking simple questions or simply answering a question in a polite non demanding or judgmental way. Therefore, writing in all capitals in an email or any type of letter is known to be poor netiquette or rude. One of the most evaluated way that we are looked at as people, is what we say to some one, or how we say it. When it comes to a business e-mail or letter, you need to make the impression that you are professional, and will be someone that can be a pleasure to work with. You also don’t want any one to get the wrong first impression of who you are or who you represent. One of the first things that people see in an e-mail is the subject, it indicates what the e-mail is about, so keep it short and straight to the point, but all capital letters or all lower case letters can be made out as an unprofessional impression. If you are sending an e-mail that is work related and it pertains to more than just yourself, it is respectful to attach the people over you and the people in your office or work place to the e-mail. It is not only respectful but it is also so that they can see what is being said within that conversation. That way you don’t have to keep relaying messages and they can just read the conversation themselves. For example, one of your superiors is in the e-mail...

...facilities, trainers or staffs. Negotiations between the owners, led by commissioner David Stern, and the players, led by director Billy Hunter and president Derek Fisher of the labor union National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), began in early 2011 and continued through November. The main issues dividing both sides were the division of revenue and the structure of the salary cap and luxury tax. Owners proposed to reduce the players’ share of basketball related income (BRI) from 57% to 47%, but the players countered with 53% of BRI. Owners wanted to implement a hard salary cap and a harsher luxury tax, hoping to increase competition among teams, whereas players wanted to keep the current soft salary cap structure intact. As both sides failed to reach an agreement, the NBA canceled the preseason and all games through December. On November 14, the players dissolved the union, allowing them to file anti-trust lawsuits against the league. On November 26, both sides reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout. The new CBA calls for a revenue split of 49-to-51.2% and a flexible salary cap structure with harsher luxury tax. After the tentative deal was reached, owners allowed players to have voluntary workouts at team sites starting December 1. After the deal was ratified on...

...The Enduring Symbols of Revolution: The Emotional Connection to French Republican Art History 2: Revolutions December 15, 2011 Towards the end of the 18th century, Immanuel Kant and many other influential philosophers during the Enlightenment stated that people should be rational in their approach to life, including politics, economics, and society. Rationalism was one of the main themes of the Enlightenment, and it played an important role in the French Revolution. One aspect of rationalism that was important in the French Revolution were rational symbols of power. However, these rational symbols of power ultimately were disfavored in revolutionary France in favor of more enduring artistic symbols of the Revolution. Although the revolutionaries also sought to regenerate French society through rational symbols of power, their use of Roman, Greek and republican art, were the most enduring symbols of a new French society because of their stronger portrayal of liberty, fraternity and equality. The rational symbols of power that the revolutionaries sought to introduce into French society included the revolutionary French Republican calendar, the revolutionary French Republican clock, and the metric system. For the reasons noted below, each of these symbols ultimately were not accepted in French society. Even though the revolutionary French Republican calendar, one of the important rational symbols, did have a strong basis in reason, it lacked public support and was not...
