Integration for Legacy Data Systems
Pages: 8 Words: 3713

(E-Legacy: Legacy EAI for B2B Integration)
To present an idea of the significance of legacy software, it has been projected that in excess of 200 billion lines of COBOL code are present and this software application processes 70% of the global business data with 30 billion COBOL-based business dealings are carried out every day. Evidently these are extremely worthy assets to leverage. (Legacy Integration: Something Old, Something New: Integrating Legacy Systems) Think as a company business executive, looking at your product-line placing orders for backlog, your production schedules as against the product categories, your stock of goods as against your production schedules, and your inventory refill with the deficiency which was shown conspicuously. This is the objective of a totally integrated e-Legacy business. (E-Legacy: Legacy EAI for B2B Integration)

Patricia Limerick's Legacy of Conquest Review
Pages: 5 Words: 1770

Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West by Patricia Nelson Limerick. Specifically it will contain a book review of the book. "The Legacy of Conquest" is a new look at the settling of the American West, from the 19th century to the eagan era. She has a new take on how the West was settled, and does not look at it as a frontier, as most historians do, but as a land of conquest, where many different nationalities came together and learned to live together, and conquest was always at the forefront.
The author makes her thesis clear in the Introduction. She writes, "In this book, I have undertaken to pull the pieces together to combine two or three decades of thriving scholarship with a decade of thriving journalism in Western American subjects" (Limerick 30). She has a new way of looking at western history, and rejects…...

Louis Agassiz the Scientific Legacy
Pages: 5 Words: 1487


Agassiz continued to find evidence for his ice age hypothesis when he traveled to North America in 1846. He was welcomed warmly in America, and was soon put in charge of building the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, where he also assumed a professorship (Duffin, 2007). The museum opened in 1860, and had the distinction of being the first publicly funded museum of science in North America (Berkeley). Agassiz worked tirelessly to promote scientific education in the United States. In 1863, he was a founding member of the new National Academy of Sciences, and in the same year was appointed a regent of the Smithsonian Institution (Ibid.).

In 1873, just a few months before his death, Agassiz founded the first American marine biology laboratory on the island of Penikese in Massachusetts. The primary goal of the laboratory was two-fold: to be a venue for new research, and, more importantly to…...

Unbowed Colonization Has Left a Lingering Legacy
Pages: 3 Words: 890

Unbowed
Colonization has left a lingering legacy on all affected nations. In Unbowed, angari Maathai Muta describes the direct and indirect impact of colonization, via her life experiences in colonial and post-colonial Kenya. The Nobel Peace Prize recipient was ultimately able to use some of the tools left by the British, such as the British court and parliamentary system, in order to dismantle some of the most destructive remnants of the colonial enterprise. Maathai Muta's life and legacy embodies the central irony of the post-colonial era: that the evils of colonization can be counterbalanced by colonialisms' own political, economic, and social institutions. Maathai Muta's story focuses on the environmental impact of colonization: an economic and political model based on the exploitation of both labor and land. It is this type of multifaceted exploitation that characterizes the worst of colonization. Yet it was because of colonization that Kenya and other African nations…...

His Legacy
Pages: 6 Words: 2128

William Penn and His Legacy
The conventional view of political life in the American colonies prior to the Revolution is one of instability and turmoil, characterized by political infighting and conflicts over who would be dominant. Alan Tully, in his book, William Penn's Legacy, has presented a completely different view of politics in the Province of Pennsylvania. His view, based upon the study of a thirty-year period in Pennsylvania history (1726-1755), is that the political world was one of peace, regularity and order. "This penchant for avoiding contentious politics was something most Pennsylvania politicians shared. They preferred to keep political relationships low keyed and controlled, in a subsidiary relationship to many of their other concerns."

He theorizes that there were a number of institutional safeguards, informal political practices, and behavior standards that helped to resolve conflict before it became violently disruptive. He argues that society did not become divisive, as some have…...

Foreign Policy, as an extension of this dramatic arms buildup, in Great Britain and Germany, shows that it was clear in the minds of the governments, war was not only inevitable, it was probably necessary for several economic and political reasons. Both Britain and Germany were vying for the premier spot as the dominant European power in both European and colonial affairs. Britain had a head start and more colonies than Germany, something very irksome to the Kaiser. Germany saw Britain's allies in the East (Russia) as being weak and unable to modernize, and believed that France would not risk her homeland on a localized Balkan or Southern European War ("The Deadly Alliances.")

Germany was still reeling from the policy of placing Germany "in the sun" from Otto Von Bismarck -- and, despite the relationships of the royal lineage's of the time, both countries knew that their economic independence and ability to continue the growth they had seen since the turn of the century depended on their abilities to master colonial exports, control the major trade routes to and from Europe, and establish their own hegemony (Wilhelm II, 2009). This is not to say that either Britain or Germany wanted the type of war that occurred, no one had any idea of the length, intensity, and destruction of this war, the argument is that so much spending on armaments left the powers at a vulnerable position and one that a war of words would eventually turn towards a war of guns.

Germany was developing into an aggressive, highly industrialized country that was running out of options

Cold War and Its Legacy
Pages: 5 Words: 1812

The legacy of the Cold War, as this writer shows, is ever changing, and as tensions in the Middle East continue to grow, there is still much to be written in history books about the Cold War and its effect on the U.S. And the world (White 315-317). Another writer puts it even more bluntly, stating, "The Cold War was an internecine conflict between two offspring of Western civilization; the terror war is a fight between barbarism and civilization itself" (Nichols 232). Thus, America has not left conflict behind, instead, conflict continues, even if it is not with the same combatants.
In conclusion, the Cold War left behind a legacy of mistrust between the Soviet Union and the United States. It also helped create the space race, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the war in Afghanistan, and a wall of communism across Europe. All that is gone now, and supposedly ussia…...

Delta Is a Legacy Carrier
Pages: 9 Words: 2824

For example, Delta cannot readily expand to Canada by any means because of regulatory limits on foreign carriers.
Competition is a key driver of change in the industry as well. Firms behave in a manner similar to oligopolies, responding to each other's moves. This forces firms to be creative with respect to how they attract and retain customers. An innovation like loyalty programs is easily replicated by all competitors in the industry, as is characteristic of monopolistic competition. Innovation, therefore, only leads to short-term gains, and firms within the industry need to constantly innovate and improve in order to win steady profits.

The Competitors

There are three main classes of competitors for Delta. The first consists of the other legacy carriers -- United, U.S. Airways, American Airlines among them. These carriers typically have similar cost structures to Delta and similar business models. Each operates a hub or hubs around the country and…...

Has Martin Luther King's Legacy Died in Our Urban Centers
Pages: 6 Words: 1974

Civil Rights and School Reform Movements
Social movements are an integral component of society. They are meant to bring about change in the accepted norms or social configuration. It is a manifestation of collective behavior whose purpose is transformation, either personal or social. Educational reform is not a new concept; it dates back to the advent of public schools and has continued through to the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. The ideal educational system is one where the child is seen as unique and the mission of the school is to allow the potential for each to come to fruition. The Civil Rights Movement and the school reform movement have in common the issue of segregation and equal opportunity.

Barack Obama and Obama
Pages: 5 Words: 1358

President Obama Project
Who is President Obama and what is his Legacy? The 44th U.S. President's second term in office has come to a close and the first Africa-American President is now out of office. As President Trump takes over with a Republican House and Senate behind him, there is much talk of upending Obama's legacy starting with Obamacare.

This paper will examine the life of President Obama, his time in office, the major accomplishments of his two terms, and likely outcome of his legacy upon leaving office -- i.e., how well his accomplishments will stand up over time.

The study will answer the question: Who is the man we have come to know as President Obama, and what is to become of his legacy?

The main points of this study will focus on his youth, his work in Chicago, his time as a politician and as President and his legacy.

Legacy Letter to My Son and Daughter

Legacy Letter to My Son and Daughter
As I sit down to write this letter to my son and daughter, the television is on in the background. Osama bin Laden, America's number one Public Enemy, has been killed. This is no doubt a victory for America, and, his death was probably inevitable in the quest for justice, as it is unlikely that he would have been willing to be taken alive. However, it makes me stop and think about what I want to teach you. I want the two of you to embrace, if nothing else from Christianity, the morals from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. I want you to forgive and to love, because hate consumes the vessel that carries it. However, I also want you to understand that sometimes justice means ugliness. This is a dichotomy that I still do not necessarily understand myself, but it is something that…...

Legacy Payment Methods Why People
Pages: 4 Words: 1253


Despite of these advantages that were mentioned, which creates the power to convince consumers and business owners to use and accept legacy payment methods in a networked environment, there are also a number of disadvantages why some people are hesitant to use such mode of payment. They are especially true when they are used in a networked environment particularly in the Internet.

Issues, Disadvantages, and Solutions in Legacy Payment Methods in a Networked Environment

One of the most critical issues that exist in the use of legacy payment methods in a networked environment, such as the credit card, is how secured are the financial and personal information of the credit card users. Especially when used online, where information is oftentimes vulnerable to threats and unauthorized access, there is a high possibility that credit card information may not be secured. This thus is causing great concerns for consumers.

If you want children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read more fairy tales. lbert Einstein

Biographical Background- Hans Christian ndersen was a Danish author who is best known for his children's stories, many of which have become archetypes of popular culture and, in the 20th century, made into iconoclastic films, musicals, and ballets. While he was concerned about his legacy, he need not have worried for his poetry and stories have been translated into more than 150 languages and even spurred a whole generation of children's names (Bredsdorff 1975).

Analysis -- Dilemmas and Dichotomies of the Artist- In the world of art, music and literature it is sometimes the truth that the genius of the artist comes before its time, and not until after the artist is dead is the work given the appreciation it is due. We can certainly see this in characters like Mozart, artists like Van Gough, and in some ways, Hans Christian Andersen. Art is difficult, it is a calling, and there are dilemmas and dichotomies that have plagued artists for years:

Art as a profession -- As much as we might want to romanticize artists, the life of the artist is usually far from luxurious. Andersen, for instance, did not support himself nor was he primarily known for his Fairy Tales until somewhat his later years, not globally until after his death (Life Timetable 2011).

Art as social norms -- For the artist, at least the inspired, there is the dichotomy of whether

In 1979, his famous book "America's longest war: the United States and Vietnam, 1950-1975" was published which contain the material about U.S.' participation in Vietnam war that started from the period of President Truman when Vietnam was fighting for its independence from French rule. Then the entire series of dynasties is discussed along with the mistakes and flaws in government policies that led U.S. towards a big failure in Vietnam. The book is quite a good mixture of biases and balances and deals honestly with a controversial topic like that of Vietnam War.

Bibliography, but I would not say it is a thorough one, nor an authoritative one. This also exposes the author as not being a good writer, and coming from a more journalistic, rather than academic, background. This is another complaint I had about the book. In terms of the index, this is also not very good, and does not allow an inquisitive reader to follow leads (strands) throughout the book.

In summary, this book has a noble aim, and on the whole is carried out very well, in an objective, unbiased manner. The book is also organized in a logical way, which allows the reader to review the information presented and to form their own opinions about the information presented there. On the whole, the book is informative, and gives a more in-depth and wider perspective on the Vietnam War than other books published in this subject. I would certainly recommend it to other students of history, of international relations, or just people worried about current American foreign policy.
