  • A Study of the Demand for Information Technology Professionals in Selected Internet Job Portals
    Journal of Information Systems Education, Vol 13(1) A Study of the Demand for Information Technology Professionals in Selected Internet Job Portals Kai S. Koong Lai C. Liu Computer Information Systems Southern University at New Orleans New Orleans, Louisiana 70126, USA Xia Liu FYI.Net, Incorporated Houston, Texas 77027, USA ABSTRACT The demand for information technology (IT) professionals has grown rapidly in the last decade. Parallel to this increasing need for IT personnel is the continuous change in the type of skills that are brought about by innovations in cutting edge technologies. However, the type of new IT skills and knowledge needed to keep companies competitive in the global market extend beyond the ability to apply the updated hardware and software to make business processes more efficient. Communication excellence and managerial expertise are just two of the other more commonly needed skills demanded by employers. This study identifies and classifies information technology related job listings that are disclosed in the databases of two leading e-recruiting services. Two secondary variables, written and oral communica- tions and experience, were also collected and examined in this study. The results of this research should be of interest to job seekers, human resources administrators, career counselors, corporate trainers, information systems consultants, labor attorneys, immigration and naturalization officers, and agency recruiters. Educators will find the outcomes of this study useful for the design and development of new curricula that can prepare students for the job market. Stu- dents will find this study particularly helpful since the trends identified in this research can have important implications for them in their selection of elective courses and in choosing a track for specialization.

  • Videoclip Del Rock Latino : Memoria Y Transnacionalidad
    Diálogos Latinoamericanos Videoclip del Rock Latino : memoria Y transnacionalidad Amanda Rueda1 Una de las múltiples maneras de acercarnos a la discusión sobre la identidad, particularmente en América Latina, es a través de marcas, de símbolos o de imágenes presentes en diversos textos y objetos culturales. Estos objetos se renuevan permanentemente no sólo con el desarrollo de dispositivos de la comunicación como la televisión, sino también con la emergencia de nuevos productos culturales como el rock y sus videoclips, por ejemplo. El interés por el videoclip del rock latino aparece mirando MTV latino y dandonos cuenta que algunos de estos videoclips proponen una mirada bastante singular del territorio de origen : México, Argentina, Colombia, las grandes ciudades de estos países, y América Latina en general. Estas referencias aparecen no sólo en las letras y en la música (mezcla de músicas populares tradicionales y ritmos modernos del rock), sino también en las imágenes. Leyendo « La Colonización de lo Imaginario »2 de Sergio Gruzinsky, donde el autor describe las operaciones de resistencia presentes en las imágenes producidas por los indígenas mexicanos durante el proceso de integración de los elementos plásticos de la pintura del Renacimiento a sus modos de representación, nos preguntamos si este tipo de operaciones estéticas se encuentran en los objetos visuales contemporáneos, específicamente en el videoclip del rock latino ? Esta pregunta supone la existencia de un orden o modelo visual dominante frente al cual el videoclip, en tanto

E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract In 1999 the United States Congress passed the Y2K Act, a major—but temporary— effort at reshaping American tort law. The Act strictly limited the scope and applicability of lawsuits related to liability for the Year 2000 Problem. This paper excavates the process that led to the Act, including its unlikely signature by President Clinton. The history presented here is based on a reconsideration of the Y2K crisis as a major episode in the history of computing. The Act, and the Y2K crisis more broadly, expose the complex interconnections of software, code, and law at the end of the 20th century, and, taken seriously, argue for the appreciation of the role of liability in the history of technology.

But the practice of sampling is more dozens to hundreds of songs. From presets for digital samplers to data CD-ROMs than a simple modernization or expansion of the number of to hip-hop battle records, sounds increasingly detach from their sources, used options available to those who seek their inspiration in the less as references to any original moment, and more as objects in a continuous refinement of previous composition.

    Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia | norient.com 7 Oct 2021 06:12:57 Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia by Moses Iten Since the beginning of the 21st century «new wave cumbia» has been growing as an independent club culture simultaneously in several parts of the world. Innovative producers have reinvented the dance music-style cumbia and thus produced countless new subgenres. The common ground: they mix traditional Latin American cumbia-rhythms with rough electronic sounds. An insider perspective on a rapid evolution. From the Norient book Out of the Absurdity of Life (see and order here). https://norient.com/stories/new-wave-cumbia Page 1 of 15 Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia | norient.com 7 Oct 2021 06:12:58 Dreams are made of being at the right place at the right time and in early June 2007 I happened to arrive in Tijuana, Mexico. Tijuana had been proclaimed a new cultural Mecca by the US magazine Newsweek, largely due to the output of a group of artists called Nortec Collective and inadvertently spawned a new scene – a movement – called nor-tec (Mexican norteno folk music and techno). In 2001, the release of the compilation album Nortec Collective: The Tijuana Sessions Vol.1 (Palm Pictures) catapulted Tijuana from its reputation of being a sleazy, drug-crime infested Mexico/US border town to the frontline of hipness. Instantly it was hailed as a laboratory for artists exploring the clash of worlds: haves and have-nots, consumption and its leftovers, South meeting North, developed vs. underdeveloped nations, technology vs. folklore. After having hosted some of the first parties in Australia featuring members of the Nortec Collective back in 2005 and 2006, the connection was made.

INTRODUCTION The Year 2000 Problem (Y2K), also known as the 'millennium bug,' may well be one of the largest problems facing organizations as they enter the 21st century. Computers are an integral component of an organization, organically of equal importance as financial resources and human resources. An organization's information system is the base on which all strategic and informa­ tional processes are developed, defined, and redefined. Therefore, the Y2K problem is not just a computer problem, it is a systemic business problem. A systemic approach will be needed to solve this problem.

  • Dig! Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Dig! Discussion Guide Director: Ondi Timoner Year: 2004 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Cool It (2010) We Live In Public (2009) Join Us (2007) FILM SUMMARY In 1995, filmmaker Ondi Timoner set out to film 10 bands on the verge of being signed by major record labels in order to analyze the relationship between art and commerce. Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre was included in that mosh-pit of musicians. He also suggested his friends, The Dandy Warhols, and the rest became music history. DIG! follows the bands over the course of 7 years as they traverse the turbulent music industry. Courtney Taylor- Taylor and his band, The Dandy Warhols, are filmed as they record albums, sign a major label deal with Capitol Records, make extravagant music videos, travel the wide world, and party with the hip and famous. Anton Newcombe and his band, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, are also filmed as they record albums, reject labels and listeners, and become more known for their raucous infighting and drug abuse than for their music. Pure rock ‘n’ roll viewing, the film is a well-rounded examination of a particular time in popular culture. The choices of modern-day musicians play out over the course of time. Hell-bent to create uncensored music untouched by the corporate machine, Newcombe demonstrates the hard-toiled consequences of his decisions. Taylor-Taylor and band members, on the other hand, rise from strength to strength and luxury to luxury. DIG! proves that like oil and water, money and music just do not mix for some musicians.
