...Wealth and economics changed through the centuries as did people’s opinions on wealth. A few authors showed their view on wealth through short stories such as ‘The Devil and Tom Walker’ and ‘The Devil and Daniel Webster.’ ‘The Devil and Tom Walker’ was written in the year 1824, in which the start up of small businesses, factories, and industries happened.

...“The Devil and Tom Walker” is a short story written by Washington Irving in 1824. In the story Irving demonstrates the theme that greed affects a person negatively. He shows this in the form of character actions, dialogue, and setting descriptions. Washington accentuates this theme at the beginning when he is describing Tom Walker and his conditions. Walker is described in Part 1 as a “ meager, miserly fellow,” with a wife “as miserly as himself” and a house that “stood alone, and had an air of starvation”. Already it is easy to see that Tom and his wife do not lead a good life. When Tom later meets up with a mysterious man in the swamp his greed and foolhardiness is shown full force. “One would think that to meet with such a singular personage, in...

...Props Analysis and Procedural Essay The following items were used during the making of this Sweded Video production: • A Chainsaw (not turned on because it could possible injure someone) • A piece of liver • Red bell pepper • Red paint • A meat tenderizer(to represent an axe) • Black North Face jackets (all the devils needed to wear black) • Black boots • Ipod(to record the production) • Private property sign • An orange tube that makes a howling or wind like sound(forgot the name) Most of these items I already had, but some of them like the bell pepper, paint, and liver I did not have so I bought it from a store. Some of the other members in the group needed to help me with the ipod, private property sign, and a chainsaw. All of these items have a meaning to this video because they all play an important role in symbolizing or portraying the story The Devils and Tom Walker. The ipod is the most important item because its filming the entire production of the Sweded Video. Without the Ipod, there wouldn’t be a film to watch. The chainsaw is with Tom Walker as he goes through the woods and begins to cut down the trees. While walking he stumbles upon a sign that is planted deep in the ground of the woods. He picks the sign up and throws it away as if the words “private property” meant absolutely nothing to him. The private property sign is present in this film because it adds more of a curiousness toward the viewer since Tom did not care what that sign said....

...Blues vs Country music According to Etta James in an interview with American Chronicle: "The Blues and country are first cousins ... What I look for in a song is for the story to be for real. I like a blood and guts kind of thing. That's what you find in the lyrics of country music." Blues and country music both developed in the 19th century in the Southern United States. They share a similar history. For this reason, they share many of the same musical and lyrical characteristics.

They are both forms of American folk music influenced by earlier styles brought overseas. Blues music grew out of field hollers and chants sung by African slaves. Irish and Scottish balladeers borrowed the guitar and banjo of blues and thus created "country". According to Reebee Garofalo in "Rockin' Out: Popular Music in the USA", "Terms like country and blues are only used to separate the same kind of music made by blacks and whites ... designations like race and hillbilly intentionally separated artists along racial lines and conveyed the impression that their music came from mutually exclusive sources." Country is an offshoot of blues. They are essentially the same thing. In the PBS special, "Rhythm, Country and Blues," country is referred to as "white man's blues." * 2 Listen to...

...CLOUD COMPUTING: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE John P. Sahlin (sahlinj@gwu.edu) The George Washington University, United States of America ABSTRACT Defining cloud computing can be difficult, as each organization often has its own spin on the definition. Despite being hard to define, Gartner Research named cloud computing as one of the top technologies to watch in 2010, 2011, and 2012. At its core, cloud computing is a technical architecture that meets a specific business need. This chapter traces the roots of cloud computing from its origins in mainframe distributed computing, discusses the basics of the cloud computing model today, and offers insights for future directions that are likely to be pursued in the cloud computing arena. A number of challenges to cloud computing are identified, including concerns of security and how to deal with the rise of mobile computing. The chapter ends with recommendations on how to choose which cloud model is most appropriate to meet your organization’s needs and how to establish a successful cloud strategy. INTRODUCTION: DEFINING THE CLOUD I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it. ~ Hon. Potter Stewart (U.S. Supreme Court Justice) Why did Gartner Research place cloud computing at the top of the list of most important technology focus areas for the past three years...

He was a model enlightened entrepreneur, a fact that took me years to appreciate. His compassion with his employees and dedication to service inspired me to be a better businessman and a better person. When I was growing up, he liked to say, “Son, the most important word in the English language is ‘empathy.’ ” When I told him I was starting a business, his first words were, “Always treat your employees right.” He learned that appreciation the hard way, losing his father at a young age and countless war buddies in the trenches. But his love for God, country, and his fellow citizens never wavered. This one’s for you, Dad.
