...and cold recovery sites. Cold recovery sites This is an appropriately configured room or space in a building with no server-related equipment pre-installed. It provides power, cooling and office which is used in case of an outage or disaster in the main work site. The staff moves to this site when a disaster is declared. It does not include any backed up copies of the data and information from the main or original work site location. For this reason it is considered the most inexpensive backup as there is minimal start-up cost. However, it takes more time to have it running at a capacity almost the same or the same as that of the original site before the disaster. For the service to be restored, the last backups from the off-site storage locations must be delivered and a few hardware components set up before recovery can start. Hot recovery site This is an exact copy of the main work site of the organization or the datacenter, it is actually said to mirror the original site. It is equipped with full computers and complete backups for the user data. There also servers, cooling systems power and an office space (if needed). Using a wide area network and specialized software, the site is run concurrently with the original site to provide an immediate failover system in case of a disaster. It takes the organization few hours or less to recover from a disaster with minimal losses. An organization can have the capacity to relocate all the personnel to the hot site if necessary. This...

Introduction The aim of this paper is to analyze some of the main problems that occur when trying to implement sustainable development tourism in heritage sites and how can they be overcome. The obstacles which appear during the implementation process of sustainable tourism development are the realistic and practical part of the idea itself of being sustainable in developing and practicing tourism within the heritage sites. Theoretically, almost every official heritage site, registered within United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s list of sites (UNESCO), has been supported, either by government or stakeholders, with various policies, regulation and standards which are especially dedicated to the sustainable development of the heritage tourism, involving economical development, environment protection and both cultural and social advantages. But, in practice, there are several issues occurring when trying to apply all...

...Managing Archaeological Sites Essay 1 Given that the involvement of local communities is important in the management of archaeological sites, what could be done to encourage their participation? Despite periodic and geographical fluctuations in participation rates throughout the history of the discipline, local communities have always formed the pulse of archaeological developments across the globe, weaving the past with the present to form a living tradition paradosi (the transmission of tangible and intangible particles of a still evolving history), as opposed to kleronomia (heritage, or things inherited from a dead relative) (Lekakis 2008, 315). The histories excavated and dusted off by archaeologists belong to these communities, who not only give them context and meaning, but also support and fund the process of restoration, and it is their participation and endorsement that guarantees the longevity and sustainability of that process. This essay will first examine the theoretical implications of defining ‘the local community’ – in various ways – upon its relationship with the heritage industry, and, by extension, upon its levels of participation. It will then attempt to answer the question of whether these local communities should be included in the decision making process as a means to sustain archaeology, or if in fact archaeology should be harnessed as a tool to rehabilitate and develop local communities in a self-sustainable manner, while cultivating a healthy, heuristic...

...Insite: The Battle over Supervised Injection Sites In the 1990’s there was an epidemic of HIV outbreaks in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Injection drug users were found to be the leading cause of this, and a public health emergency was declared (Fafard, 2012). The “mortality and morbidity” resulting from this increasing injection drug use became a major political issue. This resulted in the adoption of harm reduction by the government as one of their four pillars of their drug strategy (Fafard, 2012). Harm reduction “is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use” (Boyd, 2013). In September 2003 Insite, North Americas first harm reduction supervised injection site, was opened (Boyd, 2013). It was a three-year pilot project sanctioned by the Federal government under Canada’s Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. The goal of Insite is to “improve the health and welfare of injection users, reduce the spread of disease through sharing on needles, reducing public injection use, and reducing overdose deaths due to injections” (Boyd, 2013). Since it’s opening it has been under constant political scrutiny. It had support under the Liberal government from 2003-2006, but lost that support once Stephen Harper and the Conservatives secured control (Boyd, 2013). Despite support for Insite from international organizations such the World Health Organization, the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian Public Health Association...

...Executive Summary Bull Market Investments (BMI) has contacted Cruisin’ Consulting to perform a site selection analysis in order to select the best location for the manufacturing facility of a children’s bike trailer. BMI has requested for the potential sites to be located in the Southeastern region of the United States. After discussing as a team, Cruisin’ Consulting narrowed down the locations to three potential sites: Austin-Texas, Tupelo, Mississippi, and Lexington, Kentucky. The three locations were compared with each other using qualitative and quantitative factors. Qualitative factors were voted to be variables such as Labor availability, Transportation, Nearness to Market, Financial Assistance, and Education Opportunity. Labor availability considered to be amount of labor available in the city based on population and unemployment rates. Transportation was based on the amount of interstates, airports, and railroads in or near the city. Nearness to market considered the distance away from a compatible distribution center. Financial assistance looked at the amount of grants or tax adjustment the city offers to new manufacturing plants. Education opportunity was based on the accredited universities, community colleges, and high school programs offered.. The quantitative factors were factual variables such as land, labor, taxes, and transportation. Land was based on the purchase of a 5 acre industrial land. Labor was based on the assumption of common city wages for 5 maintenance...

The safest time to evacuate is prior to the emergency. If you've determined the hurricane will be manageable and you stay, you will have to: Monitor news, check battery levels, maintain accurate roster, touch base with alternate hot sites, prepare a go kit should you have to move (includes evacuation route maps, swappable hard disks, pet / owner rosters, employee emergency contacts, DR plan), contact hot sites and determine availability During: Unfortunately, this is often the most helpless of the steps. Number one priority should be safety. Individuals should move to predetermined hurricane locations in the center of the building under tables or other supportive objects. This is a time to keep each other calm and wait it out. Things to consider doing if safely able to...

...business’ best interest to practice backup quite often. That will ensure the most up to date information being stored and saved. With natural disasters occurring every day, a business must always prepare for the worst. That is why having a disaster recovery plan is critical to ensure the business isn’t halted for hours, days or weeks. A disaster recovery plan is a plan to basically be able to get back to work after a disaster. This includes recovering information, recovering the system, and having a new location already set for you to get the ball rolling again. Most organizations have either a hot cite, warm site, or cold site. A hot site, which is a separate facility with fully loaded equipment standing by, is probably the best option to have. A warm site has the computer equipment, but needs to be installed and properly configured. A cold site has none of the above, but is simply a...
