MP3
Subject: MP3
One of the most exciting and innovative ways to get music these days is not in the mall and not at a huge mega electronic store, it's not even by a mail order CD club, it sits right on a desk and can allow you access to almost any kind of music available right in our home. Technology is changing the way we listen to music now downloading an MP3 from the Internet is as easy if not a lot easier than going to the store and buying the CD. An MP3 is a near CD quality digital recording of a musical piece that is compressed so it can be distributed through the internet. It seems the high prices, new technology, and a big one is availability are causing most music lovers to turn to the internet to lister to their music. It's convenient to search a database for a song you've been wanting to hear by your favorite artist, download it, and copy it on to a CD. More and more people are doing this because with the help of search engines it's possible to find any song imaginable and download it for free. What most people don't realize is that the reproduction of a musical work, distribution of copies of a musical piece, and the public performance of the work without the copyright owner's consent are all violations of copyright laws. However, they do know that getting caught for the is very unlikely. Catching people who violate copyright laws is very hard to find out just who is a fault. Is it the web site promoting pirated music or is it the user who downloads it? Do to digital audio compression technologies and using special software that is readily available and free on the internet, one can download a MPEG 1 layer 3 or MP3 for short, play the music on there computer and with read/write CD's, even make a CD of there own. That would mean people can from there own home create illegal copies of the copyrighted material at or near industrial compact disc quality. Now they even have portable MP3 players so you don't even have to burn a CD, you can just download it to the player were it stores it digitally. Being so convenient and easy to do with such minimal risk of being punished the MP3 is destined to get bigger and bigger.
The primordial Soup theory was discovered in 1920. According to the Russian scientist A.I. Oparin and English Geneticist J.B.S. Haldane life started in a warm pond/ocean in a process that took place 3.8 billion years ago. A combination of chemicals made fatty acids which made protein. In this process a molecule was born in the atmosphere. The molecule was energized with lightning and rain making “organic soup”. The first organisms would have to be simple heterotrophs in order to survive.
Their entire vision statement is based upon a very simple premise that states, “Customers can be better served when they have a relationship with a trusted provider that knows them well, provides reliable guidance, and can serve their full range of financial needs” (Wells Fargo: Leadership, 2017). Their goal was to become the financial service leaders in customer service and advice, team member engagement, innovation, risk management, corporate citizenship, and shareholder value. The bank was moving in a very good direction until they made headlines for opening a large number of unauthorized fraudulent accounts (Corkery,
The formation and breakup of continents, mountains, volcanic activity, changes in climate and sea level affected the course of evolution.. Paleozoic Era was restricted to the oceans. Organisms evolved a lot crating the “Cambrian Explosion”.
Molecules were then washed ashore and exposed to heat and sunlight. Through a series of trial and error bases chemical reactions formed cells. The first ones were simple only with the new permeable membrane so it could absorb nutrients. After absorbing so many amino acids it was able to replicate itself. Bacteria now was growing off the undersea volcanoes vents living off of hydrogen sulfide. Some of these developed hard shells and others with soft membranes. Meanwhile tectonic plates during this time were shifting drastically and created mountain ranges which altered rain patterns and led to the falling of even more rain which created rivers. These rivers washed out new nutrients found in land out to the oceans. Minerals from land reacted with carbon dioxide which resulted in the production of oxygen. As temperatures cooled algae created glucose through photosynthesis and released gross amounts of oxygen into the ocean. The oxygen reacted with the metallic ions found in the ocean and cause oxidation which caused the sea to turn a rusty red.

The company promotes an aggressive strategy that they believe is the basis to accomplish their vision. Also incorporating a successful business model and a plan of execution to tie together the general strategy for Wells Fargo. The company values their customers above all else, wanting to gain their trust and deepen relationships with each and every one of them. Along with their extensive community involvement, Wells Fargo has other strengths that have helped them become so successful. The explosion of the bank began in San Francisco and soon expanded nationwide. Eventually, Wells Fargo developed into an international company. They provide multiple different networks that help attract potential customers to their company by having a service that can apply to everyone. Another strength that the company has executed would be the art of cross-selling. When it is finalized legally, it can be a great attribute to the company and the customer by letting them access the new services Wells Fargo provides. However, if there are strengths the weaknesses will follow in a major corporation. Wells Fargo has an international basis, it is very narrow in
The focus was to sell multiple products to customers daily. The goals they are intending to reach will take some time. Gaining trust from the customers and the organizations would take some time. Wells Fargo practiced poor business ethics, to have themselves recognized as the #1 bank and gain a huge profit. The aftermath, their concentration will be any open accounts will require a signature on the applications, elimination of the sales goals, every customer will receive an email of any opened accounts, and employees may call the bank ethic’s hotline to report any
It is not a technological problem, it is a legal problem. In the Facebook & Your Privacy, the author point out that "In the U.S. online privacy laws are weaker than those of Europe and much of the world, so you have few federal rights to see and control most of the information that social networks collect about you."(Facebook & Your Privacy) I find numerous legal cases of Facebook privacy issue in the European Unions, however, I only find several cases in the US. Due to the privacy law is one of the fundamental law in the EU, Europeans pay attention on their privacy. On the other hand, the US absence of a Federal-Level privacy protection law. The courts need to recognize that in the technology age, people have both virtual privacy and physical privacy. People should be able to control their own data, regardless of where it is stored. People should be able to make decisions about the security and privacy of that data. The Congress and Supreme Court should set a complete legal system of privacy in the internet, just as the Supreme Court eventually ruled that recording cell phone conversation was a Fourth Amendment search, requiring a
Some people may argue that lying is ok to protect someone’s feelings. Those who believe say, that if your friend is wearing an ugly dress and they ask you if they look superb. You would say,”Yes,” right? This argument is wrong because if they go out with that same dress on and they get made fun of they will blame it on you. This is why you should tell the truth, not blunt but nicely so you can keep friendships and relationships.

The Cambrian explosion is challenging for biologists to interpret because it poses a problem that it seems to be inconsistent with the understood gradual pace of evolutionary change. Even though there is this major difference from this occurrence compared to the ‘normal’ evolutionary model, it doesn’t mean it cannot happen. There has been o...
Staying true to them will guide us toward continued growth and success for decades to come. As you read more about our vision and values, you will learn about who we are, where we’re headed and how every Wells Fargo team member can help us get there.”(Wells Fargo, 1999). The low accountability Wells Fargo has behind their statement makes them look worse after their 2017 scandal. They have a clear indication of how Wells Fargo is supposed to be running the company, but the company has acted in a different manner. It makes you ponder how reliable statements of those at the top of the company are when they speak to the public. Even though Wells Fargo has made vast changes to their management team, one must wonder if they’re way of improving the company has changed over time. Wells Fargo’s replacement CEO for John Stumpf, Tim Sloan, told the Senate Banking Committee that, “[Wells Fargo] is a better bank today than it was a year ago” (White, 2017). A year later, 2017, Wells Fargo has made no significant positive progress toward turning the company back into what it used to be before the

The music industry started in the mid 18th century with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Through the decades there has been a great increase in this industry; however, the revenues for this industry have declined by half in the last 10 years. This has been caused by music piracy, which “is the copying and distributing of copies of a piece of music for which the composer, recording artist, or copyright-holding record company did not give consent” . After 1980’s, when the Internet was released to public, people started to develop programs and websites in which they could share music, videos, and information with...
