...When actually doing the smudge do so with a heightened awareness of what you are doing because this is a ritual act. Clear your mind and focus your thoughts on what you are doing. Light the smudge stick with the candle and as you go around the house ensure that you are holding the fireproof bowl under the stick at all times so that nothing alight can fall on the ground and cause a fire. Either use your hands or a feather to spread the smoke around. Start at the front door of your house and going clockwise around the house smudge every room. Pay attention to the corners of rooms because stale energy stays here. Also smudge inside cupboards. Once finished put out the smudge stick but you can keep the candle burning if you wise to carry on purifying the air. Put out the smudge stick by pushing it firmly into some...

...Iroquois Theater Fire Abstract On December 30, 1903 hundreds of adults and children were packed Chicago’s brand new Iroquois Theater to see a holiday showing of the popular comedy Mr. Bluebeard. The theater was the best in town, and was advertised to be completely fireproof by the owners and the architect who designed it. Little did the hundreds of patrons attending know that due to time and money constraints the theater was not as fireproof as everyone thought and it would soon become a fiery death trap. After it was all over with, more than 600 people would lose their lives making it one of the most deadly building fires in history, and forever changing fire science and safety. Introduction On December 30, 1903 hundreds of people filled the Iroquois Theater to see a matinee showing of the comedy Mr. Bluebeard, starring a popular actor Eddie Foy. The Iroquois theater was Chicago’s newest and most polished theater and had only been open for five weeks. The theater was advertised to be fireproof by the architect who had designed it, Benjamin Marshal. Marshal had studied many theater fires from the past and thought that his design would be completely safe. It was advertised that, “The theater had more than twenty five emergency exits and could be emptied in less than five minutes” (Weird and Haunted Chicago). Even a fire resistant curtain made of asbestos was installed to keep the audience safe just in case of a fire. The theater was designed to hold 1,600 people...

...any Web-based interfaces that provide backup access and keep your original backup software media secured as well. Store your backups offsite or at least in another building. I know this sounds pretty basic, but I still see it a lot. A fire or other incident could be all that's needed to take out your data center and your backups in one fell swoop. However you choose to store your backups -- be it on tape, network-attached storage (NAS), or external drives -- be sure to control access to the room/car/house in which the backups stored. Handle your backup media as you would any other critical hardware. Use a fireproof and media-rated safe. Many people store their backups in a "fireproof" safe, but typically one that's only rated for paper storage. Backup media such as tapes, optical disks and magnetic drives have a lower burning/melting point than paper and a standard fireproof safe only serves to provide a false sense of security. off-site storage of backup:- In computing, off-site data protection, or vaulting, is the strategy of sending critical data out of the main location (off the main site) as part of a disaster recovery plan. Data is usually transported off-site using removable storage media such as magnetic tape or optical storage. Data can also be sent electronically via a remote backup service, which is known as electronic vaulting or e-vaulting. Sending backups off-site ensures systems and servers can be reloaded with the latest data in the event of a disaster, accidental...

...October 8, 1871, Chicago, Illinois, the windy city, the city that would soon be in blasting, blistering flames. A terrible sight for all of it’s citizens. Jim Murphy, the author of the book “The Great Fire,” informed us about many facts that it was definitely “a city ready to burn.” It started at the O’Learys house. Their house was filled with hay to feed the animals and coal for the winter. We’re not sure how the fire started, but there was a rumor that there was a lantern in the barn that a cow kicked over. The town was made many flammable items. First of all, the whole town was made of wood. Buildings, sidewalks, and roads were made of wood. All of the barns filled with hay, factories filled tons of coal and gas. “Most...

...| The Triangle Fire | | | ALEX I. EDWARDS | FIT | This paper speaks of the tragedy that took place in 1911, which in turn became a major clash between management and labor. However, end the end brought about new regulations and reforms that are still be used today. | If it weren't for the tragedy that took places many years ago, the lives sacrificed unknowing by the individuals who lost their lives in this tragedy, we today could be still working in hazardous, unfavorable conditions, long torturous hours, and next to nothing pay. The industrial period brought on many changes because of the united from of the NWTUL and NLA. The Labor Relations Process book discusses the Unions that developed and grew in this time period. There is a reason why we are required to have adequate fire escape routes. Fire alarms, fire safety plans in place, fire extinguishers available and ready to use. Annual or quarterly checks regarding compliance with regulations of public safety (1962). The fire at the Triangle Waist Company in New York City, which claimed the lives of 146 young immigrant workers, is one of the worst, traumatic, disasters since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The incident had great significance to this day because it highlights the inhumane working conditions to which industrial workers were subjected too. To many, its ugliness epitomize the boundaries of industrialism. The catastrophe still remains in the shared memory of the nation and...

...The Revenue System of The Seafood Seasonings of Smith Island Company COMPANY BACKGROUND The Seafood Seasonings of Smith Island Company (SSoSI) of Norfolk, Virginia provides a variety of seafood spices and sauces for steaming shellfish, seasoning fish and shellfish after cooking, creating seafood dips, and mixing fish and shellfish “cakes.” SSoSI was founded in 1995 by Antonia Lipton, the Owner and Chief Operating Officer (OCOO). Ms. Lipton started the Company from her kitchen in Virginia Beach, Virginia using spice recipes handed down by her great grandmother, a long-time resident of Smith Island, Maryland. The OCOO’s first clients were friends and neighbors in Virginia Beach. Ms. Lipton charged a fair price for a quality product so Company sales grew quickly from word-of-mouth reviews by the neighbors. Two Norfolk, Virginia restaurant Owners became aware of SSoSI's products and began to use the seasonings at their restaurants. Ms. Lipton learned a great deal about the food supply business from these clients. This early success made the OCOO realize there was potential for the Company to grow much larger. To that end, Ms. Lipton established a website and presence on Facebook and Google+ for SSoSI. By the end of the first year of operation, the OCOO moved the operation from the kitchen to her two-car garage and incorporated SSoSI in Virginia. Ms. Lipton began going to food trade shows to market SSoSI’s products. The trade shows not only allowed the OCOO to...

...PM 595 | Project Risk Management | | | | | | Introduction After deciding on and obtaining a site for the Empire State Building the plan was to build a skyscraper as tall as possible without falling down. The logic of the plan was very simple. A certain amount of space in the center, arranged as compactly as possible, contains the vertical circulation, mail chutes, toilets, shafts and corridors (4). Surrounding this is a perimeter of office space 28 feet deep. The sizes of the floors diminish as the elevators decrease in number. In essence, there is a pyramid of non-rentable space surrounded by a greater pyramid of rentable space (4). In essence the taller the building, the higher the risk and the narrower the tip of the building became. There are many risks to consider when starting a project especially if these projects are tied to high cost and high consideration for safety. One of the initial concerns for the Empire State Building project back in the early 1930’s was that because of its enormous height and weight that it would eventually collapse. Due to its height requirements the design was a critical component of this project. When completed the Empire State Building stood at 1,454 feet from ground level to the top of the lightning rod making it the tallest building in the world for 41 years until the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were built (1). Some of the risks associated with the possibility of the empire state building collapsing are...

...ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS PBL REPORT TASK 4 “INTERNAL CONTROL ANALYSIS 1” Required: Explain how the principle of separation of duties is violated in each the following situations. Also suggest one or more procedure to reduce risk, and exposure highlighted in each of example. Solving Problems: a. A payroll clerk recorded 40-hour workweek for an employee who had quit the previous week. He then prepared a paycheck for this employee, forged her signature, and cashed the check. Violation: The payroll clerk only have an authority to prepare the paycheck, not to signature or cashed the checks. The signature of payroll is the duty of HR manager, while cashed the paychecks is the duties of the cashier, so, the payroll clerk has violated his/her job description and his/her authorities.

If all the job done by the clerk, the clerk can make a manipulation or some fraud for example, that the clerk issue a check but the check is not for the employee but for the clerk. So we must have someone to control the clerk and cut it out when some mistake happen. And to solve this case we can also order someone to be the HR manager to make this case more secure from fraud. And for cashed the check we can give that job to cashier. After separate this duty and authorities we can minimize the risk. b. While opening...
