...Hudson’s Bay Company and IBM: Virtual Blade Platform Case Study Three types of sever virtualization Visualization uses special software called “hypervisor” which creates a layer and abstracts and interacts with the physical resources and reallocates them more efficiently. It serves as a platform for the virtual servers’ operating systems. The hypervisor keeps each virtual server independent and unaware of the other running servers. It monitors the physical server’s resources and relays its resources to the right virtual server. Due to their own processing need, physical servers need to reserve some power and resources to run the hypervisors’ application. That fact has an overall impact on the performance and speed of applications. Para-Virtualization: Unlike the normal virtualization process, the guest servers are now aware of one another. A hypervisor in a para-virtualization system doesn’t need that much power to get along with the additional guest operating systems. The whole system works as a coherent unit. OS- Virtualization: The OS approach is completely different with regard to the first ones. The OS-virtualization doesn’t use a hypervisor at all. The host OS performs all the functions of a virtualized hypervisor. The only condition is that all guest servers must possess the same OS. Each virtual server is independent from all the others but a mixture between the OS is not possible because all have to be homogenous. Importance of virtualization for...

Because Canada is in a temperate climate the four seasons change the already vast set of landscapes each year making them change even more. In Canada we have several different landform regions full of different species, habitats and minerals all unique to their own region. Along with each region, different properties are present giving each a different climate and changing the lives’ of the people who live there. The first of several covers a good half of the country. The Canadian Shield covers most of Nunavut, Quebec, Ontario, Labrador, Manitoba, as well as a large part of Saskatchewan and smaller parts of Alberta and the North West Territories. The Canadian Shield is a relatively flat landscape with rounded hills of metamorphic rock. This region is rich in minerals and is often used as a mining area for many of the provinces. It is a bad area in Canada for farming because the soil is too thin. It is mainly covered in Boreal Forest in the south and Tundra in the north. The Western Cordillera rests along the western edge of Canada, covering most of Yukon Territory and British Columbia as well as western Alberta. Consists of high, sharp-peaked mountains separated by plateaus and valleys...

This company is very much involved in Canada's political and economic structure. In the beginning of its existence, they were predominantly involved with trading furs to the native people within Canada. It wasn't until the twentieth century that HBC turned into the retailing company that they are known for today, however, they still maintained their position in the fur trade industry (HBC, 2013). HBC's current operations range from financial services and mortgages to their most well known functions as one of Canada's largest retailers. There are multiple stores that are included in the HBC franchise, for example, The Bay, Zellers, Home Outfitters and Saks. Hudson's Bay Company also owns Lord and Taylors in the United States. As a combined total in Canada and the United States, HBC has 29,000 employees. The most well-known product line sold by HBC vendors is its Canadian Olympic clothing line (Hudson's Bay Company, 2013). Along with providing services and products to its consumers, HBC also is highly involved in the community. HBC has established its own charity foundation which focuses on improving the lives of Canadians (The Canadian...

Henry Hudson was explorer that use to be a fisherman before becoming an explorer. Henry Hudson went on his first voyage to try to get to Asia from New England without hitting any ice on the way. Then Henry was hired by the English Muscovy Company to find a northwest path to Asia from England. Henry then took the fourth and final voyage to undertaken the England in 1610. After the end of the fourth voyage he was never heard of again. Henry Hudson went to his first and second voyage for the Muscovy Company but failed both. He traveled north to the coast of Greenland in 1601. ¨His first two voyages were though Arctic waters and proved to be unsuccessful due to ice¨(Edward R.). After the second voyage he hit ice which made him have to turn back. He had ten men including his son John. That is why the people were sad that he did not come back with a clear route to Asia.The people in England really wanted to know this route because, it would help with them move resources faster....

...My wonderful partner's name is Terence Wong. His name means ruler of the Earth. Terence was born on August 28th, 1999. The same day Henry Hudson discovered the Delaware Bay, in 1609. He was born in Queens, New York. Terence is an inspirational, intelligent, and athletic person. One quality that I love about Terence is that he is inspirational. Terence was diagnosed with arthritis since he was seven, and this was a huge obstacle in his life. However, he loved playing baseball, so he decided to continue and not give up. Another inspirational idea is he would like to be a scientist, to find the cure/ prevent diseases. He would be very interested to cure cancer, asthma, and influenza. Overall, Terence has inspired us to help others, and to overcome any daily struggles in our life. Another trait that I've noticed in Terence is that he is very intelligent. During math class Terence easily understands the lesson, and he is able to do very well in graded work. In math he received more than ninety percent in each quiz/test, and he says it is all because he studies and goes to every extra help possible. He also is in all Honors, as well as the Principal's List. To be a part of these enrollments, one must be academically successful in all subjects. This really makes people realize that if you will try your best, you will succeed exceptionally beyond you're limit. Finally, last but not the least I've noticed that he is extremely athletic. Since he was seven he started...

...In the National Gallery ”In the National Gallery” is a short story by Doris Lessing form 2007. The themes in the story are that older are more patient than younger, a person can be attracted by another without showing it, and you must follow the time otherwise it can become ugly. The narrator is first person point of view “She was the boss girl in this group, even if nit officially a head girl or monitor” (page 3, line 43). The narrator has an objective sight, but the narrator reflects and interprets what he sees. Therefore gets the reader a subjective view on the text. Because it is his thoughts we read. “Her eyes focused, on the great brilliant horse, so close, towering there on the golden canvas, on his hind legs.” (page 4, line 102) The French girl did not say anything about the horse; therefore can the narrator not tell what the French girl thinks about the horse. We only get the narrator thoughts therefore the narrator becomes unreliable. Strubbs horse is a symbol of the older man. “But then a man sat down, on the other side of the bench’s arm and he leaned forward, elbows on knees, and locked hard at the horse” (Page 1, Line 19). Before had the horse an important role in the society. Every great leader in history has sat on a horseback, because it was a strong, powerful, and fast. Now we only use the horse as a hobby. When the older man was young he was a strong and marvellous man. He cut pick up a sixteen-year-old girl when he just where twelve years old. ”She...

HKA’s main functions include: Rental, instruction, and tours f. Customer checks availability of rental ---- Customers choose their day -----> Customer enters their information----> Confirm and process information. 3.

...English 269: Intro to Cultural Studies 30 September 2010 Cultural Geography Project The small piece of property between Torches on the Hudson and Gully’s Restaurant in Newburgh has become a cornerstone of revitalizing the city’s economy. Although it is only about half a mile long, in less than ten years the enormous facelift that has been given to the area has done wonders for the city’s revenue and tourist appeal as well as provided a much needed aesthetic boost to the waterfront area. Newburgh’s waterfront area has a rare appeal for this particular case study because it has aspects of providing a sense of community in the sense that it is often a focal point for local social gatherings, but it is also a place whose very existence is predicated upon the fact that it generates revenue for the city. As a young kid I can remember days where my father and I would drop my mother off at work and spend the rest of the morning running errands while stopping at the Newburgh Waterfront for lunch. By and large the place was decidedly unimpressive. In fact, there wasn’t much to be seen other than the old rickety piers and the folks ignorant enough of their state to trust their sturdiness (my father and I were quite often included in this class). There were sidewalks to nowhere, not much parking, very little landscaping was done, no shops, just a pier and the few people on it. It seemed, when looked at as a whole, very much like an area that had been almost forgotten by the city...

...Darah Holmes ENG 100-B14 Mr.Cortese September 21, 2015 SWA 3 (Dowd) “Our Own Warrior Princess” essay was written by Maureen Dowd. In this essay Jennifer has just had surgery and her Aunt is telling the audience about what she had to go through, such as the pain she injured after her surgery. Even though her uncle has already passed, she is the one that is afraid to go through the surgery and is also telling the story. This story is to communicate with those who are in need of people to donate from. This story was attended to those who are unsure or afraid of having surgery or donating anything needed. There were a lot of details the author used in this short essay. She reffered to Jennifer’s strength to Xena Warrior Princess. She also mentioned how people were afraid to mention that they were donors on their identification cards. The details in this story were very effective because it happens in our every day lives. In this story “Our Own WarriorPrincess”, the bigger picture is knowing that it is okay to be afraid to go and have surgery. But more importantly, it is okay to go out and save a life. Maureen Dowd transitioned this story into donating when she mentioned, “There was a complicated operation for the two side by side, that lasted from 7:30 a to 10 pm”(Dowd 255).This tells you that there were to people side by side getting ready for surgery and a transplant. In this story, the author reinforces her argument by letting you know that it is very...

...in the text, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is defined as, “the corporate duty to create wealth by using means that avoid harm to, protect, or enhance societal assets,” and by this definition GE under Welch failed to fulfill its duty of corporate social responsibility. While during the Welch era GE was successful in achieving a corporation’s primary economic responsibilities, generating immense profits, sharing the wealth with shareholders, and paying taxes, it did so in a way that did not protect societal assets, or avoid harm to the environment. GE failed to fulfill its duty of CSR by causing environmental damage in areas where the company manufactured its products. The prime example of this is GE’s 35-year pollution of the Hudson River in New York. Between 1945 and 1977, GE is accused of releasing approximately 1.5 million pounds of a toxic substance known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into the river. When confronted with the wide spread consequences of its actions, after scientific evidence linking PCBs to cancer and other illnesses was revealed, and a study conducted by The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), concluded that dredging the bottom was necessary to remove the dangerous deposits, GE refused to accept responsibility for the pollution of...

Given the influx in the amount of people, workers and inventors alike, wanting to make various creations that would benefit the industrial practice and in turn, both New York State and City had been tagged on the most dynamic leash the new era had to offer. In the first document presented, both the Virginia Schomp and New York State Canal Corporation describe what seems to be a correlation between the Canal and the New York harbors’ successes over the few years following its construction. In the state of New York, whole commercial vessels were now able to move north up the Hudson River, something that had been deemed impossible prior. Having these vessels carry so much cargo through its ports and harbors, New York State had industry's flourishing along the Hudson where a surplus amount of trade could now take place. Due to the state’s acclaim, New York City itself had finally grown out of the second-rated limbo it had been cemented in, cultivating the largest and busiest ports in all of America. This gift of innovation had turned New York from a “helpless, homeless commoner,” into an “eager, fruitful gentleman, prospering for his own people.” According to James silver in document two, there also seems to be a unique effectiveness to the canal that would help traders and suppliers extensively, traveling into New York and it’s housed cities.
