Forward the Foundation Chapter 29

32 â€Å"Professor Seldon come in,† said Chief Librarian Tryma Acarnio in a cold manner of speaking. Hari Seldon joined by Wanda and Palver, entered the Chief Librarian's monumental office. â€Å"Thank you, Chief Librarian,† said Seldon as he subsided into a seat and confronted Acarnio over the tremendous work area. â€Å"May I present my granddaughter Wanda and my companion Stettin Palver. Wanda is a most important individual from the Psychohistory Project, her claim to fame being in the field of arithmetic. What's more, Stettin, well, Stettin is transforming into a top notch general psychohistorian-when he's not playing out his obligations as my guardian, that is.† Seldon laughed affably. â€Å"Yes, well, that is fine and dandy, Professor,† said Acarnio, confused by Seldon's amiableness. He had anticipated that the educator should come in stooping, asking for one more opportunity at unique Library benefits. â€Å"But I don't comprehend what it is you needed to see me about. I expect you understand that our position is firm: We can't permit a Library relationship with somebody so incredibly disagreeable with everyone. We are, all things considered, an open library and we should keep the open's notions in mind.† Acarnio settled back-maybe now the stooping would start. â€Å"I understand that I have not had the option to influence you. Nonetheless, I believed that in the event that you got notification from two or three the Project's more youthful individuals the psychohistorians of tomorrow, figuratively speaking that maybe you'd show signs of improvement feel about what an essential job the Project-and the Encyclopedia, specifically will play in our future. If it's not too much trouble hear Wanda and Stettin out.† Acarnio cast a virus eye toward the two youngsters flanking Seldon. â€Å"Very well, then,† he stated, distinctly peering toward the timestrip on the divider. â€Å"Five minutes and no more. I have a Library to run.† â€Å"Chief Librarian,† started Wanda, â€Å"as my granddad has without a doubt disclosed to you, psychohistory is a most important device to be utilized for the safeguarding of our way of life. Indeed, conservation, † she rehashed, after observing Acarnio's eyes broaden at the word. â€Å"Undue accentuation has been put on the decimation of the Empire. Thusly, the genuine estimation of psychohistory has been disregarded. For, with psychohistory, as we can foresee the unavoidable decrease of our development, so are we ready to step toward its conservation. That is the thing that the Encyclopedia Galactica is about. What's more, that is the reason we need your assistance, and the assistance of your extraordinary Library.† Acarnio couldn't avoid grinning. The youngster had an obvious appeal. She was so sincere, so expressive. He looked at her sitting before him, her light hair pulled in a fairly extreme insightful style, one which couldn't shroud her appealing highlights however, rather, indicated them off. What she was stating was beginning to bode well. Possibly Wanda Seldon was correct perhaps he had been taking a gander at this issue from an inappropriate edge. In the event that it were really a matter of conservation, instead of destruction†¦ â€Å"Chief Librarian,† started Stettin Palver, â€Å"this extraordinary Library has represented centuries. It, maybe significantly more than the Imperial Palace, speaks to the immense intensity of the Empire. For, the Palace houses just the Empire's head, while the Library is home to the aggregate of Imperial information, culture, and history. Its worth is endless. â€Å"Does it not bode well to set up a tribute to this incredible storehouse? The Encyclopedia Galactica will be only that-a mammoth rundown of all the information contained inside these very dividers. Consider it!† Out of nowhere it appeared to be so exceptionally clear to Acarnio. How might he have let the Board (particularly that downer Gennaro Mummery) persuade him to revoke Seldon's benefits? Las Zenow, an individual whose judgment he extraordinarily regarded, had been a wholehearted supporter of Seldon's Encyclopedia. He looked again at the three before him, sitting tight for his choice. The Board would be unable to discover anything to grumble about with the Project individuals if the youngsters now in his office were an agent test of the sort of people associated with Seldon. Acarnio rose and strolled over his office, his temple wrinkled, as though confining his contemplations. He got a smooth precious stone circle from a table and heaved it in his palm. â€Å"Trantor,† Acarnio started attentively, â€Å"seat of the Empire, focal point of all the Galaxy. Very astounding, when you consider it. We have, maybe, rushed to pass judgment on Professor Seldon. Presently that your Project, this Encyclopedia Galactica, has been introduced to me in such a light†-he gave a short gesture to Wanda and Palver-â€Å"I acknowledge how significant it is permit you to proceed with your work here. Also, obviously, to concede access to some of your colleagues.† Seldon grinned appreciatively and crushed Wanda's hand. â€Å"It isn't just for the more prominent wonder of the Empire that I am suggesting this,† proceeded Acarnio, evidently warming to the thought (and the sound of his own voice). â€Å"You are well known, Professor Seldon. Regardless of whether individuals consider you a nut case or a virtuoso, everybody appears to have a feeling. In the event that a scholastic of your height is aligned with the Galactic Library, it can just build our notoriety as a bastion of scholarly quest for the most noteworthy request. Why, the shine of your quality can be utilized to raise truly necessary assets to refresh our assortments, increment our staff, keep our entryways open to the open longer†¦ â€Å"And the possibility of the Encyclopedia Galactica itself-what a great venture! Envision the response when the general population discovers that the Galactic Library is associated with such an endeavor intended to feature the wonder of our human progress our heavenly history, our splendid accomplishments, our superb societies. Also, to feel that I, Chief Librarian Tryma Acarnio, is answerable for ensuring that this extraordinary Project gets its beginning † Acarnio looked eagerly into the precious stone circle, lost in dream. â€Å"Yes, Professor Seldon,† Acarnio pulled himself back to the present time and place. â€Å"You and your partners will be allowed full insiders' benefits and a set-up of workplaces in which to work.† He set the precious stone circle back on its table and, with a wash of robes, moved back to his work area. â€Å"It may take a touch of doing, obviously, to convince the Board-yet I am sure that I can deal with them. Simply leave it to me.† Seldon, Wanda, and Palver took a gander at one another in triumph, with little grins playing at the edge of their mouths. Tryma Acarnio signaled that they could go thus they did, leaving the Chief Librarian settled in his seat, longing for the magnificence and respect that would go to the Library under his aegis. â€Å"Amazing,† said Seldon when the three were securely tucked away in their ground-vehicle. â€Å"If you could have seen him at our last gathering. He said I was ‘threatening the fundamental texture of our Empire' or whatever decay. Also, today, after only a couple of moments with both of you â€Å" â€Å"It wasn't excessively hard, Grandpa,† Wanda said as she squeezed a contact, moving the ground-vehicle out into traffic. She sat back as the auto-move dominated; Wanda had punched their goal arranges into the control board. â€Å"He is a man with a solid feeling of vainglory. All we needed to do was hype the positive parts of the Encyclopedia and his sense of self took over from there.† â€Å"He was a goner the moment Wanda and I strolled in,† Palver said from the back. â€Å"With the two of us pushing him, it was a bit of cake.† Palver came to advance and pressed Wanda's shoulder warmly. She grinned, came to up, and tapped his hand. â€Å"I must caution the Encyclopedists when possible,† Seldon said. â€Å"Although there are just thirty-two remaining, they are acceptable and devoted specialists. I'll get them introduced at the Library and afterward I'll handle the following obstacle credits. Maybe this collusion with the Library is the thing that I have to persuade individuals to give us financing. How about we see-I'll call upon Terep Bindris again and I'll take both of you with me. He was sympathetically arranged toward me, at any rate from the start. In any case, by what means will he have the option to oppose us now?† The ground-vehicle in the long run stopped outside the Psychohistory Building at Streeling. The side boards slid open, however Seldon didn't quickly move to land. He went to confront Wanda. â€Å"Wanda, you realize what you and Stettin had the option to achieve with Acarnio; I'm certain you both can push a few credits out of a couple of money related supporters too. â€Å"I know how you would rather not leave your darling Prime Radiant, however these visits will allow both of you to rehearse, to sharpen your aptitudes, to get a thought of exactly what you can do.† â€Å"All right, Grandpa, despite the fact that I'm certain that, since you have the Library's imprimatur, you will find that protection from your solicitations has lessened.† â€Å"There's another explanation I believe it's significant for you two to get out and around together. Stettin, I trust you said that on specific events you've ‘felt' another brain like yours yet haven't had the option to distinguish it.† â€Å"Yes,† addressed Palver, â€Å"I've had flashes, yet each time I was in a group. Also, in my twenty-four years, I can recollect feeling such a blaze only four or five times.† â€Å"But, Stettin,† said Seldon, his voice low with force, â€Å"each streak was, possibly, the psyche of someone else like you and Wanda-another mentalic. Wanda's never felt these flashes on the grounds that, in all honesty, she's been shielded for her entire life. The couple of times she's been out in a group there must not have been some other mentalics around. â€Å"That's one explanation maybe the most significant purpose behind both of you to get out-with me or without me.

McCombs photoThe University of Texas at Austin McCombs Business School received one of the biggest individual gifts of 2018 this month when a former student and current equity fund manager and his wife donated $20 million.  Phil Canfield,  managing director at the private equity firm GTCR in Chicago and a 1989 graduate of the UT Austin business honors program, and his wife Mary Beth Canfield made the gift to the program that will now carry their family name.â€Å"We both believe if you’re helping education and you’re helping people get access to education, that is the single highest leverage and best ROI investment you can make philanthropically,† Phil Canfield said at an announcement of the gift on Friday (December 1) an d the unveiling of the newly dubbed Canfield Business Honors Program.â€Å"I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t been in that program,† Canfield continued. â€Å"It launched what’s been a really fun and successful investment career, and in many ways, I feel like it’s a dividend back to the school for the investment that the school made in me back then.†SEEKING TO ELEVATE THE STATUS OF THE McCOMBS BHPPhil Canfield: McCombs offers best undergraduate business education in the country and world. Courtesy photoThe gift will provide full-tuition scholarships, improve recruitment of top talent, increase the national profile of McCombs Business Honors program, and help boost and broaden program offerings and student resources. Speaking to the Daily Texan, the student newspaper at UT Austin, McCombs Dean Jay Hartzell said $7 million of the donation will go toward the McCombs Scholars Program for a matching scholarship fund, where the next $7 mil lion donated will be matched by the Canfield’s contribution. $10 million will go into an endowment fund that covers such expenses as marketing and perception surveys for the honors program, and the remaining $3 million will be used as immediate spending money.â€Å"In order to make a gift like this, you have to have confidence in the leadership,† Phil Canfield said. â€Å"My conversations with Dean Hartzell give me faith and trust in his vision for the program and his ability to execute.

Second, it’s the best undergraduate business education in the country and world, but it’s not broadly recognized at the nat ional level, so part of what I want to do is elevate the status of BHP.†GIFT WILL CHANGE THE GAME FOR THE McCOMBS SCHOOL OF BUSINESSAccessibility and affordability were foremost on Canfields mind in deciding to donate such a large gift to his alma mater. â€Å"I think it cost me $2,000 a year to go here, and even in the  late 1980s, (that many) dollars is not that much money, he told the Daily Texan. And it’s not (that same amount) today. Accessibility and affordability for a public university is essential in the long run.†Ã‚  Ã¢â‚¬Å"Phil and Mary Beth’s transformative gift will take McCombs’ outstanding Business Honors Program to new heights, and they’ll provide greater opportunity for business students to come to UT, pursue their dreams and make vital contributions,† said Gregory L.

Jane Austen s Pride And Prejudice - 2006 Words

In the 19th century, marriage was the primary interest for women because it was believed to be their sole means of happiness and comfort. For women, opportunities of living a life without a husband were scorned by all of society and nearly impossible; women had little choice but to search for their suitors. Women searched for wealthy life partners in belief that an estate and a lavish lifestyle could provide them with a lifetime’s worth of enjoyment. However, love was not an element of such an accord. Their search for a wealthy partner provided them with the security of money, land and comfort in life. Prosperity meant that the woman and her children would never have to face financial problems or hardships. This significant predicament of marriage for young women is ever present in the novel, Pride and Prejudice. The Bennet girls are at the ripe age for marriage and struggle to find affluent suitors. Throughout the novel, Jane Austen reveals that the only marriages that contai n pure happiness are the ones that are built on true love, adoration and affection. The other marriages in the novel are considered unhappy and miserable because they are out of either convenience, materialism or physical attraction. Elizabeth and Darcy, along with Jane and Bingley, are the only couples who receive genuine happiness from their marriage.

Large sums of Na are hard for a babe # 8217 ; s kidneys to manage. Breast milk contains one-third the mineral salts of cow # 8217 ; s milk, therefore doing it soft to the kidneys. There is less phosphoric in chest milk every bit good. The higher P content of cow # 8217 ; s milk is linked to a reduced Ca degree in the expression fed infant # 8217 ; s blood. Breast Federal babes are far less likely to go sick during the first twelvemonth than expression fed babes. # 8221 ; The transportation of immune factors in chest milk and in the pre-milk substance, foremilk, provides partial protection. Every clip chest fed babies suckle at their female parent # 8217 ; s chest from the first clip to the last ; they are acquiring a healthy dosage of anti-bodies to bolster their unsusceptibility to Smith 3 disease # 8221 ; ( Eisenburg 54 ) . One recent survey suggest # 8221 ; there may besides be a reduced hazard of childhood malignant neoplastic disease in chest Federal babies # 8221 ; ( Eisenburg 55 ) . Breast Federal babes are well-fed since chest eating plants by supply and demand. The more the babe nurses the greater the female parent # 8217 ; s milk production. Overall, babes that are breast Federals have less wellness jobs than babes that are unnaturally fed. # 8220 ; They have three times fewer ear infections, five times fewer urinary piece of land infections, five times fewer serious unwellnesss and seven times fewer allergic reactions. Babies who are fed mother # 8217 ; s milk entirely, for at least their first 26 hebdomads, are six times less likely to develop lymphoma ( a type of malignant neoplastic disease ) in childhood, and babes breast fed for at least one twelvemonth are merely half as likely to develop diabetes # 8221 ; ( Sears 41 ) . Breast milk can get down a life-time of good wellness for a babe. As grownups, people who were breast Federals have: less asthma, diabetes, fewer tegument upsets, fewer allergic reactions, lowered hazard of bosom onslaught due to take down cholesterin degrees, fewer ulcers, less Crohn # 8217 ; s disease, and protection from certain chronic liver diseases. Breast milk encourages proper development. It promotes # 8220 ; good jaw development # 8221 ; , which has an advantage to proper tooth development and alliance, and # 8220 ; active usage of oral cavity and lingua while breast-feeding encourages proper address development. Switch overing babe from right to go forth arm Smith 4 while feeding promotes balanced oculus musculuss # 8221 ; ( Dermer 1 ) . In add-on, Dermer states that # 8220 ; breast milk enhances structural development of the oculus and allows growing and development of babe # 8217 ; s encephalon and cardinal nervous system ( 2 ) . Recent surveies show higher IQ tonss for chest Federal kids, straight correlated with the length of clip they were breast Federal. Aside from the nutritionary, physical, and mental advantages of chest eating, the chest fed baby tends to be happier and more confident. Obvious are the chest eating advantages to the baby, but what about for the female parent? When a female parent chest feeds her babe, they bond. The skin-to-skin contact and interaction promotes adhering and enhances understanding and credence. A survey from a underdeveloped state found that when chest eating rates were increased among female parents with a important forsaking rate, fewer of these female parents abandoned their babes. Breast eating besides encourages feelings of peace, satisfaction, relaxation, and intimacy. Immediately after birth, the babe # 8217 ; s sucking causes perennial explosions of oxy-toxin to be released which in bend contracts the womb. This protects the female parent from postpartum hemorrhaging every bit good as assisting the womb to return to its normal size, which finally aides the female parent in returning to her pre-pregnancy weight. Mothers who breast provender are at a lower hazard for chest malignant neoplastic disease. Eisenburg tells us that # 8220 ; adult females nursing for a lifetime sum of two old ages lower Smith 5 their hazard before climacteric by 40 per centum. Nursing for six old ages lowers their hazard before climacteric by 66 per centum, and seven old ages of nursing lowers the hazard of chest malignant neoplastic disease throughout a adult female # 8217 ; s life-time to about zero # 8221 ; ( 55 ) . Breast eating besides lowers the hazard of other malignant neoplastic diseases such as ovarian and uterine malignant neoplastic diseases. On a lighter note, allow us non bury God # 8217 ; s natural chest augmentation which enhances the chests appearance far more dexterously than any sawbones # 8217 ; s manus. # 8220 ; Breast eating entirely, without solids or addendums, delays the oncoming of ovulation and monthly catamenial rhythms # 8221 ; ( Dermer 1 ) , which contributes significantly to household planning and child-spacing. In making this, the female parent is practising the lactactional amenorrhoea method which is over 98 per centum effectual in forestalling gestation the first six months postpartum. The degree of protection T biddy decreases in relation to the strength and frequence of suckling. In Senegal, where female parents breast provender for an norm of 19 months, and in Bangladesh, where female parents breast feed an norm of 31 months, births are at least two old ages apart. The child-spacing consequence of chest eating is particularly relevant to adult females for whom contraceptive method is unaffordable, unavailable, or unacceptable. Breast milk is readily available and convenient, no bottles to warm or formula to blend. In contrast, trust on bottle-feeding is peculiarly hazardous for households with low incomes and limited entree to clean H2O and fuel. Too Smith 6 frequently, taint occurs when bottles can non be decently sterilized, and malnutrition consequences when babes are bottle-fed liquids such as diluted juices or teas. The economic sciences of breast-feeding are besides of import to see. Breast- feeding saves households clip and money that would be spent on buying infant expression, bottles, wellness attention, and fuel. For illustration, # 8220 ; the mean cost of feeding a six-month old babe is eight hundred and 55 dollars for one twelvemonth # 8221 ; ( Brockport 3 ) , utilizing powdery expression. Concentrated and ready to utilize expressions be even more. This is equal to at least the mean family # 8217 ; s monthly per capita income in many developing states. On the norm, households spend two hundred dollars in wellness attention claims for the norm one twelvemonth old unnaturally fed babe. Because chest Federal babes are healthier than those who receive chest milk replacements, households save clip and money that would be spent on visits to wellness practicians and on buying medical specialties. In short, breast eating enables households to accomplish great autonomy, therefore cut downing their dependence upon commercial ( and interior ) merchandises. The painstaking individual should besides be sensitive to the effects chest eating has on the environment. Breast eating is ecologically sound since it uses merely renewable resources and produces merely biodegradable wastes. In Smith 7 contrast, bottle-feeding utilizations non-renewable resources such as Sn, plastic, glass and Si, and produces non-biodegradable wastes and pollution. Furthermore, while chest milk is produce locally and on demand, bottle-feeding merchandises are frequently transported considerable distances by transnational companies. Eisenburg points out that # 8220 ; Artificial milk involves ; overgrazing of land by cowss, usage of chemical fertilisers to turn the soy, usage of valuable environmental resources for expression production, packaging and transporting of the merchandise, usage of H2O and fuel in commixture and heating the merchandise, waste disposal of the tins, bottles, accoutrements, cartons, etc. Artificial eating additions social and personal wellness attention costs and harmfully effects the environment # 8221 ; ( 56 ) . Harmonizing to the Surgeon General of the United States, 30 to forty per centum of new female parents start off chest feeding their babes. The official end of the Surgeon General # 8217 ; s office is to duplicate the figure so that 70 five per centum of new female parents are breast-feeding. The adult females least likely to breast provender are low-income adult females. Unfortunately, these are the really adult females who are most likely to go corpulent after gestation and whose babes could most profit from the long-run wellness benefits of chest eating. # 8220 ; Ever since Eve put Cain to suckle for the first clip, breast-feeding has Smith 8 been coming of course to female parents and neonates. Right? Well, that is non ever the instance, at least non right off # 8221 ; ( McGough ) . Eisenberg would hold to this statement. Although nursing does come of course, he believes # 8220 ; It comes of course a small later for some female parents and babes than others # 8221 ; ( 58 ) . Sometimes there are physical factors that hamper those first few efforts ; at other times it # 8217 ; s merely a simple deficiency of experience of both participants. Whatever might be maintaining the babe and the chests apart, it won # 8217 ; t be long before they are in perfect sync, every bit long as the female parent doesn # 8217 ; t give up foremost. Some of the most reciprocally fulfilling breast-baby relationships begin with several yearss of fumbling, failed attempts, and cryings on both sides. As a first clip female parent I can associate to challenges of larning to breast-feed. I have a healthy, smart, good adjusted ( non to advert beautiful ) babe miss. I contribute a big portion of those qualities to breast-feeding. I was a chest babe myself, and upon larning that I was pregnant, I had really small vacillation in make up ones minding if I would follow in my female parent # 8217 ; s footfalls. I did extended research on the pros and cons of breast-feeding and came up with really few cons. I feel that chest eating my girl was the first and most of import gift I could give her, aside from love. The satisfaction that I received from nursing her far outweighs any incommodiousnesss that I might hold incurred. The comfort of cognizing that she was acquiring the best, most Smith 9 alimentary nutrient possible is an indefinable one, and the intimacy that we portion because of it is invaluable. Although I was merely able to nurse her for five months, I would non merchandise the experience or the benefits for anything. I hope to be able to nurse my following kid for a twelvemonth. Obstetricians, baby doctors, nurse-midwives, even makers of infant expression agree that breast-feeding is best. No affair how far engineering progresss, there will ever be some things that Mother Nature does best. As Oliver Wendell Holmes the Elder said over a century ago, # 8220 ; A brace of significant mammary secretory organs has the advantage over the two hemispheres of the most erudite professor # 8217 ; s encephalon in the art of intensifying a alimentary fluid for babies # 8221 ; ( 58 ) .

Essay Sample on Physical Security and Its Importance

Essay Sample on Physical Security and Its Importance Free sample essay on The Importance of Physical Security: The importance of physical security cannot be understated because it ranges from issues of outright theft of a system or key storage component to intervention with the boot drive during startup. Physical security is the basis of computer security. The two main topics of physical security are protection against natural risks and malicious attacks. Natural risks are the most common threats to computer physical security. Power interruption may be hard to recover from. Sometimes it may result in permanent system damage, since electronic components are not designed to absorb sudden power fluctuations. UPS (uninterrupted power supply), surge protectors, alternative power generators are possible security measures although many times their effectiveness goes untested. Use of chemical fire suppressants such as halon or smoke detectors and sprinklers are possible security measures. Chemical fire suppressants like halon can be tricky to use because we want to be able to evacuate people easily, but we also want to seal the room to keep the halon contained. When using water sprinklers to put out fires we have to make sure that the water from the sprinklers will not wet the systems, as this may cause electrical damage or water damage. Lightning during storms can be very damaging. Using surge protectors alone may not protect against surges of these magnitudes. The increase of waterfall during storms can critically overload pipes and cause them to rupture. There are two distinctions to be made between raising waters and falling waters. The first can happen in case of flood for example. Systems should be placed in high stands and possibly in higher floors of buildings, not in the basement. Falling waters may happen because of leakage during heavy storms or because of fire alarm sprinklers. The easiest form of protection in this case is lot of plastic sheets. The use of foam fire extinguishers instead of water ones would be safer as well. People or animals may create communications interruption. To protect against accidental severance of communication lines, duplicate lines at different sites are needed. Operator errors such as coffee or coke spills and accidental file deletion are very common. Errors such as mounting the wrong tapes or accidentally hitting the wrong key can also occur. The previous security measures together with a backup system kept offsite would be ideal. In order to quickly restart the computer system first of all we need up to date backups. The backups should be kept in a separate place possibly miles away. In some cases a cold site may be needed. A cold site is a facility with power, cooling and network connections available to install a computer system. For more critical task hot sites may be required. A hot site is a facility with a computer system ready to run and be used. The cost of maintaining a hot site is high. Many types of backups are possible- daily, weekly, and monthly, as well as full, incremental, and differential. Backups can be used either for quick restart or restoration of damaged systems, as well as for record keeping and tracking purposes. Backups should be separately stored in a secure place away from the system. Backups should be regularly tested to make sure that the data on the backups are intact. Also backups may conta in sensitive information so they should be protected since they provide an attacker with a potential entry point to private data other than the computer system itself. Preventing malicious attacks where attackers need to get close to mount the attack. Here are some reasons why someone might want to attack you: Financial gain Disgruntled employee seeking revenge You are the first available target Gain fame As a diversion Physical access control walls and fences define the security perimeter, while guards and locks enforce access control policy. Only authorized users may enter the perimeter. Possible security leaks include: Masquerading: A person disguised as an authorized user. This can be done using forged IDs or pretending to be a repairman. Piggy-backing A person who enters the security perimeter by following an authorized user. Lock-picking: Any locked can be picked. However, many times the easiest way is simply to go through dropped ceilings or removing the hinges from door. Possible solutions to these attacks include: Safes, doors with special locks are useless unless the keys are hard to duplicate and obtain. Motion detectors. These devices should be turned on when no one should be in the area. Backups. Maintaining system and data backups is fundamental. Securing valuable information through regular backups is the best defense against a natural disaster, a runaway virus, or a hack job. Limit physical access to the Boot CD-ROM and Floppy Drives. Physical access to a floppy drive or CD-ROM on a domain controller invites intrusion. It is possible to use boot disks get system access. Turn these features off in the BIOS and password-protect.

The local labour market :: Business and Management Studies

The local labour market Whilst looking into the local labour market, I have decided to study some of the figures from the national statistics and look into how WPA would use them if they needed to recruit new employees both locally and nationally. Resident population and age The resident population of west Somerset, as measured in the 2001 census, was 35,075, of which 47 percent were male and 53 percent were female. The majority of the population in west Somerset are aged 30 to 59 with 38.3 percent of the population being in this age group. This is slightly less than the percentage of 41.5 percent in the age group of 30 to 59 in England and Wales. .6 percent of people in west Somerset and aged 16 to 19 compared to 4.9 percent of people in England and Wales. There is a very minimal difference, therefore if WPA wanted 16 to 19 year olds as they have just finished school and may be going into full time or part time work, west Somerset has almost the same percentage of this age group. If WPA wanted school leavers they could look locally and have the same number of people on average from that age group. Health and provision of care In west Somerset, 64.7 percent of people asked said they would describe their health as good, this is only slightly less than the percentage of people in England and Wales with 68.6 percent. In west Somerset however 25.5 percent of people would describe their health as fairly good this is higher than the national average of 22.2 percent. West Somerset had a higher percentage of people who had a long-term illness with 22.3 percent, the national average is 18.2 percent. If WPA were to use this information they could see that 90.2 percent of people in West Somerset said they had good or fairly good health, but 90.8 percent of people as a national average said they had good or fairly good health, this tells WPA that people living in Somerset have good health so they would have a very large selection of people living in Somerset who have a good or fairly good health to choose from, they could therefore attempt to recruit locally then if they are unsuccessful they can then recruit nationally where there is only 0.6 percent more people who said they had good or fairly good health. Economic activity – unemployment Unemployment rates are lower with 2.9percent in West Somerset compared to a national average of 3.4 percent. This means that there may not be a large selection of qualified people in the West Somerset area so WPA
