The Cloud for Digital Photography

CONVENTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY: STORAGE & MANAGEMENT ISSUES The advent of photography in late 1830s (Roosa, n.d.) has mandated later introduction and development of memory storage methods. The capacity for cameras to preserve in photographs personal and collective memories has made permanency a more urgent issue as photographs became household collectibles. Moreover, as development methods improved, older photographs (developed using outdated methods) required more maintenance during storage, particularly photographs produced by acetate negatives, chromogenic color film, polyester film and instant color print processes (Roosa). The deterioration of photographs by poor environmental storage conditions, poor storage enclosures, inadequate handling and shelving conditions, and ...

Groups of partners and alliances

The partnership groups taking part in emergency management can be categorized into three, which are, social groups, economic groups, and governmental or political groups. They are equally essential as far as emergency involvements are concerned, but each one of them tends to vary from the others as far as priorities are concerned (Brennan, 2012). Social groups, for instance, have three emergency systems namely; the family system, Community response teams, and the private sector groups. Individuals are, in this groupings the building block for units of emergency management, thus, their importance should never be underestimated. One person can inspire the ...

The management should change the company’s culture so that the workers can learn that business continuity ensures that they keep their jobs for a longer ...

Safety Issue that was Ignored

There were safety issues that were apparently ignored in the Elaine Bromiley case . The issues allegedly stem from the inability of health care professionals to adhere to the Difficult Air Society (DAS) guidelines (Difficult Air Society, 2013) especially when the patient exhibited “can’t intubate, can’t ventilate” situation . As such, one of the safety issues that was obviously ignored in the case is the lack of cognizant observance of the crucial essence of time that the patient has been in recognized to experience lack of oxygen. In fact, a review asserted that “the clinicians appeared to become oblivious ...

There are many ways to be aware of the emergency case managing and the government provides the population with the programs which are aimed to help people “to save and sustain lives, ...

In recent years the American economy was able to recover from the deep financial crisis of 2007-2008. A relatively quick recovery was partly an outcome of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It was a stimulus plan that helped to save the jobs and provided the relief programs for those who suffered the most from the crisis. For example, GM received more than $20 billion of credit money from the American government in order to stay afloat and implement the structural changes (Massad, 2011). In 2012 the American Taxpayer Relief Act was passed and helped to balance ...
