...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)...

...think one word but a different one comes out of your mouth?... Well, yeah, I guess… Does reading sometimes give you headaches?... I nod, more nervous… When you look at letters, do they ever seem to move?... I'm confused. Of course they do… They do?... He is wide-eyed. I nod but I'm not sure if I should.” This quote proves that you need to face your problems/fears because in this quote, Ally has to face her fears and tell her teacher about her problems in reading. She hasn’t told a teacher before. The theme of this book is persevere. I know this because on page 154, it says, “The woman takes out a pointed white hat. ‘Now this is something teachers began to use in schools toward the end of Noah Webster’s life. It was called a dunce cap. As a punishment for misbehavior, a child would have to wear it and stand in the corner facing the wall… There’s a head wearing a dunce hat and ‘Ally’ is written underneath.” This quote relates to the theme perseverance because Ally has to learn how to face her fears. After a girl name Shay teases Ally that she needs a dunce hat, Ally runs away and cries. Ally needs to learn how to face her problems and fight her fears. This is why the theme of the this book should be perseverance. Setting: The setting usually takes place in Ally’s classroom. If the setting didn’t take place in the classroom, her teacher would have never found out that Ally has trouble reading. There wouldn’t be story without her teacher finding ou that she had dyslexia.

...Assignment Requirements 1. Look up other database-naming conventions. Is there one that makes the most sense to you? Explain why. 2. Look for Entity Relation Diagrams. What other ways of diagramming entities and relations did you find? Describe any similarities and differences between them. Solutions 1. A naming convention is important when working with databases in order to provide a clear structure and format; especially in team environments. By using these conventions the database can be understood by anyone applying these conventions; thus increasing maintainability. These are not rules but guidelines that can be adapted to any working environment. All names should be in camelcase with the first letter in lower case. Separate name parts by using camel case and NOT underscores or spaces. This provides better readability and you will not have to use quotes when doing SQL statements. Prefixes or namespaces are the ONLY parts of names that should be separated by underscores. This defines a clear separation between names and areas. Do not use numbers in names. This is poor design, indicating divided table structures. Do not use dot (.) separator between names, remember use camel casing. This way you will avoid problems when doing SQL statements as fields are accessed using dot notation. It goes without saying, do not use reserved database words in any name. Always try to use names that make sense and are descriptive of their purpose. Avoid abbreviations whenever possible...

...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...

...The existing collective bargaining agreement between the National Hockey League and its players expired on September 15, 2004. Each side had failed to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. The NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman locked out the players by cancelling the season. The key issues at hand were the league’s demand for a salary cap and linking the salaries to the league’s revenues. The NHL Players did not like these demands. The NHL is a popular past time for both the Americans and the Canadians. Both the NHL & players should have been able to reach an agreement earlier in the year. This lockdown lasted over five months, and then the season was cancelled. Another reason that both sides should have agreed is that NHL is a profit making business. The hockey players make the money for playing a sport that they love and the NHL is providing a service that the Americans and the Canadians love to watch. There were many barriers in reaching a negotiated agreement. These barriers delayed the progress of a negotiation and it negatively affected its chances of any type of success. The personalities of Bettman and Goodenow were adversarial tactical. There was a lack of trust between Bettman and Goodenow. There were even communication barriers as well. Bettman and Goodenow should be the ones to anticipate and overcome any barriers as they represented both sides. Goodenow and Bettman came into their positions in the early 1990’s. Both men had performed well in...

...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...
