...charter laid out the firm’s mission: “Connect one or more points in each and every city, town or place in the State of New York with one or more points in every other city, town or place in said State and in each and every other of the United States, Canada and Mexico; and each and every of said cities, towns and places is to be connected with each and every other city, town or place in said states and countries, and also by cable and other appropriate means with the rest of the known world.” AT&T began building its network out from New York in several directions. The first line, to Philadelphia, opened in 1886. AT&T reached a major milestone in 1892, when it began telephone service between New York and Chicago. Keeping pace with the growing demands for telecommunications required continuous innovation, improvement and expansion in each area. Transmission media evolved from open wires to cable, coaxial cable, microwave relays and to fiber optics. Skype Overview Skype was built by Sharman Networks after they bought Kazaa, a file sharing program from Niklas Zennstrom of Sweden and Janus Friis of Denmark. Skype leveraged the same type of peer-to-peer networking idea that Kazaa was built upon, but applied it to voice transmission instead. The idea was that the more people that used Skype, the more reliable the connection would be for each of them. Skype’s big selling point was that users could make free voice calls (using their computers and a headset) to each other from anywhere in the...

...compensate the shortcomings of their essay with the improvements – in my view – made in Rimmon-Kenan’s essay. Also, since Rimmon-Kenan’s essay ‘Narration: speech representation’ does not include an account of thought representation, I will convert his distinctions of speech representation. Thus “diegetic summary” (DS) will be “diegetic thought summary” (DTS); “Summary, less ‘purely’ diegetic” will be “Thought Summary, purely diegetic” (TS); “Indirect content paraphrase”(ICP) will be “Indirect thought content paraphrase” (ITC); “Indirect discourse, mimetic to some degree”(ID) will be “ Indirect thought, mimetic to some degree” (IT): “Free indirect discourse” (FID) will be “Free indirect thought” (FIT); “Direct discourse” (DD) will Be “Direct thought” (DT) and “Free direct discourse”(FDD) will be “Free Direct thought” (FDT). ITC, FIT, DT and FDT correspond with Leech and Short’s distinctions (in definition and symbol, except for ITC which correspond with their IT). I will give examples of DTS, TS and ITS: DTS: The bare report of a thought, without any specification of how the thinker felt or the language the thinker used to think. E.g., ‘He wondered about her love for him’ TS: Summary which represents thought in that it names in greater detail the thought act: E.g., ‘He wondered if she had another lover or if she was capable of love’ IT: Indirect thought which gives the illusion of perceiving aspects of the style of the thought act. E.g., ’He thought she had another bloody lover...

...The play consisted of several leading role, but the only castings worth mentioning are the main character Bobby Strong and Hope Cladwell.Tyler Collins portrayed and sang the role of Bobby Strong and was a perfect cast for Bobby. Collins appearance and voice were ideal for the "hero" of the show; a handsome young man who lead the poorest urinal town through rebellion and fights for what he believes. As one of the Tenor vocalist, his finest singing was his duo with hope when they sung together "Follow Your Heart". As he sings with a sad voice, from high decrescendos to low crescendos his voice depicted all the emotion of the character. The cold and emptiness when he does not how to follow his heart to the joy and happiness when he found and listen his heart. Hope Caldwell acted and sang by Dakotah Boone was another impressive cast she played the role of naïve daughter of Caldwell. Dakota performance was impeccable one of her most notable moment on stage was her solo during which she sung the reprise of "Follow your Heart". All her six performances as a soprano vocalist were flawless (which was remarkable because she only seventeen and it was her debut...

...In 2006 they applied private sector principles to government operations by implementing lean six sigma processes to their local government. By embracing the “voice of the customer” philosophy, which is a pillar of six-sigma, there were able to gather and analyze information from their customers. Whatever problems came their way, this principle set a foundation that would hold firm against the biggest recession that this country has known. They endured the recession of 2008 and did this with no lay offs of their 2100 employees. By having unprecedented turnouts at town hall meetings Irving was able to see what their customers and employees wanted. At these meetings customers were able to call in, attend, or send email questions in. It was the canalization of this information that allowed Irving to start implementing this data and see results. Not only did they listen to their customers but also they did the same with the city employees. They built cross-functional teams that were before singular. An example of this would be they reduced crime in some parts of the city by 75% in some areas. Most would think this was done solei by the police force. But it was a cross-functional team built of police, codes department, and animal services, combining their expertises and really attacking the problem. The decrease of city employee’s hours without having to lay people off to reach their numbers is a direct result of strategic Planning. This was a natural course once they began working...

...Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 184 pp. ISBN-13: 9780156034029 Summary Excuse me, sir, but may I be of assistance? Ah, I see I have alarmed you. Do not be frightened by my beard: I am a lover of America. I noticed that you were looking for something; more than looking, in fact you seemed to beon a mission, and since I am both a native of this city and a speaker of your language, I thought I might offer you my services as a bridge. From the author of the award-winning Moth Smoke comes a perspective on love, prejudice, and the war on terror that has never been seen in North American literature. At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with a suspicious, and possibly armed, American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the tale that has brought them to this fateful meeting. Changez is living an immigrant’s dream of America. At the top of his class at Princeton, he is snapped up by Underwood Samson, an elite firm that specializes in the “valuation” of companies ripe for acquisition. He thrives on the energy of New York and the intensity of his work, and his infatuation with regal Erica promises entrée into Manhattan society at the same exalted level once occupied by his own family back in Lahore. For a time, it seems as though nothing will stand in the way of Changez’s meteoric rise to personal and professional success. But in the wake of September 11, he finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica...

...rate brought this to a head. The message was clear – a change was needed. It is said that the collective worker in America does not have a voice (About, 2012). Many are told to just deal with the outlined terms of employment or find another job. Union workers would say that they have choices, and their representatives fight for them. The union workers also have a higher salary than non-union workers in the same field of work. Occupy Wall Street (OWS) provided a springboard for a joint voice that was loud enough for some to hear. Many that were out of work and many that needed to speak up band together to focus on this inequality. Moral that was once low, soon increased as the movement took form. The movement had some setbacks a few months after it started which included protestors being faced with arrest. Looking from the outside into the movement, one would wonder if all involved had the same goals as the movement, or were they there to simply take advantage of the movement. According to Shaw (2011), the definition of utilitarianism states that our acts should create a way in which good reigns over bad for everyone that could be impacted by our actions. The Occupy movement started out in the direction of pushing the bad out, so that good would win, but then the legal system got in the way. The protestors took to occupying cities...

...designed system will allow new sites to be added to the network without affecting the operations of the other sites. According to Connolly and Begg (1999), companies with a well-planned distributed environment are better able to handle expansion. It is therefore important that the network and information technology professionals at Superior Views Industrial ensure a sound connectivity infrastructure. Although there are various costs that must be incurred in any networked system (e.g., maintenance, equipment costs, operating personnel), the most important recurring cost that management must consider is the cost of the actual transmission service. Transmission costs increase with distance (Carne, 1999). Therefore, due to the high cost of voice and data communication facilities and services, multiplexing has become a very practical procedure for reducing costs and improving transmission efficiency. Multiplexing is a procedure where two or more information sources share a larger transmission capacity (i.e., several signal streams are placed on a single bearer), and wherein each information source has its own channel. In general, multiplexers should be logically placed in areas with a high number of...

...Pope Leo XIII Pope Leo XIII was the first pope to try and bring the Roman Catholic Church into harmony with the modern world. He continued the efforts of his predecessor Pius IX to gain independence for the Vatican from Italy. It could be argued that Christianity Survived through Pope Leo XIII because of his political and social work. Pope Leo XIII’s real name was Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci. He was born on March 2, 1810, in Carpineto, Italy. Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci was the sixth of the seven sons of Count Lodovico Pecci. When he was eight he and his brother, Giuseppe were sent to study at the Jesuit school in Viterbo. After Leaving the Jesuit school he took up the study of theology. In 1832 he obtained the doctorate of theology. He then went to the Academy of Noble Ecclesiastics, and started studying canon and civil law at the Sapienza University. He began his career as an official of the civil administration of the Papal States, and was appointed priest in 1837. He was promoted often; in 1840 he was made governor of Perugia. In 1843 he was made Nuncio to Belgium, and Bishop of Perugia in 1846. In 1853, he was made Cardinal. Cardinal Pecci was not in like by the papal court because as nuncio he earned the disapproval of the Metternich. He did, however, prove himself to be a good bishop by creating many practical reforms for his diocese that he would later promote as pope. During the hard years of King Victor Emmanuel’s occupation of the Papal...

...scribd.com/doc/91232702/English-Literature-Revision In Paris With You: Summary: ‘In Paris with You’ is related by the narrator whose relationship has just ended and who is now in Paris with someone else. The narrator doesn’t want to examine the aftermath of the serious relationship. This means he doesn't want to talk things over or even visit galleries or landmarks; he just wants to enjoy the moment rather than thinking of the future or the past. Structure: The poem has four stanzas of five or six lines, with a longer stanza of nine lines in the centre, acting as a chorus in which the mood of the poem changes. The first half of the poem deals with the lead up to the current situation; the second half is concerned with enjoying the present. The repeated line "I'm in Paris with you" - and variations on it -can be described as a refrain (lines that are repeated in a song). The use of repetition reflects the speaker's insistent concentration on the present. The poem has a regular rhyme scheme in the four stanzas adding to the poem's musical quality. The stanza in the centre of the poem makes use of half rhyme. The contrasting rhyme of "Elysees" and "sleazy" gives a comic effect. The Farmer’s Bride: Summary: The poem tells the story of a farmer who marries "a maid" and refers to their early experience of marriage. It is told from the farmer’s perspective; his wife is not given voice. She appears to be badly affected by the experience of marriage. She attempts...
