4. Studying Indian Music
FRANK J. OTERI: Well, let's talk about Indian classical music for a bit. You had three records out on Columbia Masterworks, In C, and then A Rainbow in Curved Air and then Church of Anthrax, the record you did with John Cale had come out. And, at that time, because of these records, you were in a way the most widely known minimalist composer, certainly much more visible than other people doing this music, although the term minimalism really wasn't being used yet. But then, there was a period, I guess from about 1970 to 1980, when you stopped making records for Columbia and went off to study Indian music, which western composers would say is the opposite of a career path. You became a student again and, and it's wonderful. But it's the kind of humility that we rarely would see in somebody who was that successful at that time. What prompted those decisions?
TERRY RILEY: Well I think that there were two things involved. Uh, first of all, I met Pandit Pran Nath, that's the main thing that prompted my decision. And I felt this immediate connection to him and his music that I had no control over. I was drawn to it. The other thing is that for me the late period of the 60s in New York when I was doing the recordings had reached a kind of point of completion.
FRANK J. OTERI: So, were they asking you for more recordings?
TERRY RILEY: Yeah, I had a contract you know to complete more recordings, unfortunately I didn't complete it for another 10 years. They kept sending me notices to show up at the studio and I'd be in India or some place. You know I'd just forget about it. But, you know the thing is that I felt it was a good time, things had happened pretty fast you know with these pieces like In C, Rainbow, Poppy Nogood and I felt this was a good basis of work for me. And the next step for me was to learn more about how the modality of music works. And there's no better place than India. 'Cuz it's a really old tradition. Plus the rhythmic complexity of Indian music fascinated me. So there were two things I really was interested in developing in myself. And I felt I could spend a lifetime trying to find these things out on my own, but here's a person that knows it all. And why not try to absorb it through his teaching?
FRANK J. OTERI: Well certainly just as much as you and La Monte Young spawned this genre of music called minimalism which effected the entire classical music world, the work that you did also spawned a whole generation of rock musicians. The whole genre of psychedelic rock to a good extent comes out of the work that you were both doing in the earlier 60s, what wound up happening in the later 60s in rock music. But I think it's fair to say at this point in the year 2001, you both also spawned yet another tradition. There are now so many American musicians who are playing non-European classical musics, which 40 years ago would have been unthinkable, but we now have American soloists who are not from India playing the sarod and the sitar, and Americans playing shakuhachi or playing in gamelan orchestras. And, and it raises some interesting questions about what is traditional and what makes somebody who is not from that tradition come to that tradition. And a lot of these players are fantastic, but it's hard to book them for concerts because since they're not of that tradition, audiences might not assume they're as authentic. What has been your experience playing Indian music as a westerner?
TERRY RILEY: Well, you know one of the really great things about Pandit Pran Nath was he was able to give us an immediate kind of foundation for this kind of music. He was a great teacher. And he also had a very, very unique position in Indian classical music in that he himself synthesized several different styles. And he was a person that many people looked to for these rare compositions that he had gotten from many of the masters who have since passed on. So we were really lucky to receive from him some teachings that were quite rare and which some of the people in India didn't have the opportunity to learn. So when we go back to India now and perform, I think we're quite well appreciated. They especially like to hear some of these rare works that he was teaching us and that now are gone except for some of us Westerners who have managed to learn them from him.
FRANK J. OTERI: Did Pran Nath have Indian disciples as well?
TERRY RILEY: Yeah, but few. Most of his Indian disciples didn't turn out to be professional musicians. There were only a few. A lot of them were people who loved his music, but they just did it for themselves. They didn't do it professionally… For the last eight years, I've gone to India every winter with a group of students from the United States and some from Europe who have been interested in learning this music of Pandit Pran Nath. Pandit Pran Nath was alive until '96 and was teaching this class for the first four years. And after he passed on, we continued to take these students over every year. In fact they're going this year too.
FRANK J. OTERI: That's right, they're there right now.
TERRY RILEY: Well, they leave on the 21st I think of February to go. So this has been a really good connection for Americans who are interested in studying Indian classical music because a lot of the people from his tradition are in India, and join our group so we all work together and give concerts and there's a lot of interaction and we perform for each other.
FRANK J. OTERI: Now at this point, do you have Indian students who are studying music from you or studying these ragas of Pran Nath's?
TERRY RILEY: Occasionally I will, but most of my students are Western.
FRANK J. OTERI: Because you're based here most of the year.
TERRY RILEY: Yeah, but you know there's no reason an American can't… It's like jazz, you know, some people say things like only a black man can play jazz. Actually, if you can do it, you can do it. And God knows, why a person can do it if they can.
FRANK J. OTERI: Well, as I like to say when people raise the question of authenticity, I say well you have no problems with an American string quartet playing Beethoven. All of the world's music belongs to the whole world.
TERRY RILEY: Yeah, and you know there's a tremendous amount of hard work that goes behind all of this too. It isn't that we just took one or two lessons and went out and started singing raga. I mean that's thirty years of work and long hours of practice and study. So eventually something has to come out.

Bay City's Mayor Emeritus, Richard Clifton Gusman, died Monday of an apparent heart attack at the home of his sister, less than one month after the dream of a lifetime became reality.
Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a. m. Thursday at First United Methodist Church.
Gusman guided the helm of Bay City for 32 years--one of the longest tenures of any mayor in the United States--serving back-to-back terms from April 1, 1947, until May 12, 1979.
Those 32 years of leadership earned him the respect of countless Bay Citians and the honorary title Mayor Emeritus, bestowed on him by the city council in 1980.
The ailing patriarch made one of his last public appearances June 29, when he attended the official kickoff ceremonies for the Mouth of the Colorado River Jetties Project--a project's start he once called his last great ambition.
The Mayor first began lobbying for the jetties in April of 1949, shortly after being elected to his second term as mayor. in a June 26 interview, Gusman characterized those 35 years as years plagued by a "series of disappointments and setbacks," in which he fought opposition and seemingly endless red tape.
"I've been holding on for this day, its been a long time coming," Gusman said of the start of the jetties project.
Gusman, one of seven children of James Robert and Betty Harrington Gusman, was born December 28, 1904 in Weimar. When Gusman was seven, his parents moved to Bay City, where his father became manager of the Matagorda Canal Co.
He graduated from Bay City High School in 1923 and from Southwestern University in 1927. The Mayor did post-graduate work at Columbia University in New York and served in the U. S. Air Force in World War II for three years.
After his discharge in 1944, he married Florence Craddock of Austin. Mrs. Gusman, also active in community affairs, preceded him in death April 22, 1966.
He helped build the first lighted baseball diamond in Bay City and through his efforts, the USO building (Service Center), was built and operated by the USO until the war's end.
After becoming mayor in 1947 with the help of the campaign slogan "Open the Door, Richard," Gusman worked to expand Bay City's water and sewer systems, sewer plant and worked to purchase the city's present recreation areas.
During his tenure, the city worked with county officials to build the Bay City Municipal Airport which was dedicated May 20, 1970. Half of the cost of the airport was funded by the federal government.
When the Bay City Independent School District was in need of land for a new high school, he sold--at no profit--27 acres of land on which the present high school, football field, baseball diamond and gymnasium are located.
During his administration, a $550,000 Olympic-sized swimming pool was built through funds provided by the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife grant, and revenue sharing money.
Also while he was mayor, the state highway department spent millions of dollars in Bay City. State highways 35 and 60 and Nichols Loop were constructed.
In 1966, he made the old city hall building available to house the Matagorda County Museum. In 1980, Gusman was given the title Mayor Emeritus by the city council. At that time he was the longest serving mayor and only Mayor Emeritus in the United States.
October 24, 1982, a monument was dedicated in his honor on Avenue G, in the park created in his honor.
Gusman was an active member of the first United Methodist Church throughout his life. He served on the board of stewards, building committee of the LeTulle Educational Building, member of the grounds and planning board, chairman of the site location committee for St. Paul's Methodist Church and an active member of the Wesley class.
His numerous civic accomplishments include being named Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Citizen in 1958, the Eagles Home Town Builder Award, given in 1974 by the Southwest Regional Conference and honored in 1975 by the Texas Water Conservation Board for "exemplary leadership in conservation and use of water resources of Texas.
The Mayor was a lifetime member of Lions International, the American Legion Post 11, where he served in various capacities, former director of the Battleship Texas Commission, a member of the Matagorda County Historical Commission, Rice Festival Parade Chairman for 32 years and former chairman of the coordinating council.
He was a director of the Bay City USO, director of the South Texas Chamber of Commerce in 1954, chairman of the Waterways Committee of Bay City Chamber of Commerce, director of the Texas Safety Council and a member of the Governor's Safety Committee.
Gusman was a delegate to the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, Board of Directors of Great Commonwealth Life Insurance Co., Texas League of Municipalities Organization, Texas Farm Bureau, director of Mid-Coast Water Association and a life member of the Bay City Chamber of Commerce.
The Mayor was a life member of the Texas Lions' Crippled Childrens' Camp and the Bay City High School Black Cat Band, an honorary Bay City Volunteer Fireman and a special officer of the Bay City Police Department.
The Daily Tribune, July 24, 1984
Funeral services for Mayor Emeritus Richard Clifton Gusman, 79, of Bay City will be held 11 a. m. Thursday at the First United Methodist Church in Bay City with the Rev. Leslie LeGrand and the Rev. T. Walter Moore officiating. Burial will be in Cedarvale Cemetery.
Mr. Gusman was born Dec. 28, 1904, in Weimar and died July 23, 1984, in Matagorda General Hospital. He was a member of the First Methodist Church.
Survivors include: sister, Ethel Gusman of Bay City; and two brothers, Cooper Hill Gusman and Oliver Herbert Gusman, both of Bay City.
Honorary pallbearers will be all city council members who served with him, the First United Methodist Church, Wesley Class, members of American Legion Post 11, members of the Lions Club, members of Bay City Volunteer Fire Department and all city employees.
Pallbearers will be Mayor Glen White, Tom Rowland, Carey Smith Jr., O. B. Stanley, Scott Richardson, Burt O'Connell, Fred Friday and Larry Craddock, Jr.

Richard C. Gusman was mayor of Bay City from 1947 to 1979. Thereby serving as mayor longer than any person in the history of the United State of America the title of Mayor Emeritus was bestowed in 1981. Again a first in the history of the United States.
In 1940, prior to his term as mayor, Gusman personally obtained a grant from Washington to fund the construction of a modern utility system for the city. His tenure as mayor was highlighted by his foresight and leadership. During his administration, the City acquired all of the existing public recreational areas and his tireless efforts and cooperation with the Texas Highway Department resulted in a city of modern streets and traffic control systems. While such civic improvements as these and many more kept pace with the City's rapid growth, Gusman was able, through careful planning to keep the City tax rate the lowest of any comparable sized city in the United States.
Gusman served in the U. S. Army Air Force during W. W. II. He was since been active on a local, state and national level with the American Legion by serving as National Sergeant at Arms, state chairman of the Community Service Committee and active member and leader of the local American Legion Post No. 11
Gusman benefited his fellow man by serving as delegate to the National Rivers & Harbors Congress, director of South Texas Chamber of Commerce, Texas Safety Council, Battleship Texas Commission, and the Texas Water Conservation Association, by which organization he was honored in 1975 for "Distinguished Service to the Citizens of the State of Texas for Exemplary Leadership."
Gusman was one of the first to recognize the importance and great benefits to be derived by Bay City, Matagorda County, and surrounding areas through jettying of the mouth of the Colorado River. It was through his diligent labor that the Congress of the United States approved the mouth of the Colorado River Project. Without doubt, Mayor Gusman deserves more credit for this extraordinary accomplishment than any other person.
Mayor Richard C. Gusman was and is a pillar of the Christian community of the City of Bay City. He exhibited his devotion as an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Bay City by serving on the Board of Stewards, the Church Building Committee of the LeTulle Education Building, and as an active member and leader of the Wesley Class.
In 1944 he married Florence Craddock of Austin, Texas
who also became well known and loved as an accomplished civic leader.
Through the joint efforts of this couple, a museum for Matagorda County
was established in 1963. Their dedicated guidance and leadership has
helped insure the preservation of the area's history and the
perpetuation of the growth of the museum.
For political observers and long-time residents of Bay City, 1984 will be remembered as the year the city lost a man who for more than four decades played a key part in guiding and shaping Bay City --Mayor Emeritus Richard Clifton Gusman.
The Mayor, as he was popularly known, died July 23 of an apparent heart attack while at his sister's home. He was 79.
Gusman guided the helm of Bay City government for 32 years--one of the longest tenures of any mayor in the United States--serving consecutive terms from April 1, 1947, until May 12, 1979.
While the list of accomplishments which can be credited to The Mayor is indeed lengthy, perhaps the one which Gusman was most proud of and which he worked longest for is the Mouth of the Colorado Jetties Project.
Work on the delay-plagued jetties project officially started in late June, 35 years after Gusman began lobbying for the project's construction. The Mayor had often described the startup of the Jetties Project as his last great ambition in life and confided only a month before his death that he was "just holding on" for the day that work would start.
The jetties will enhance the river for light industry and recreational boating.
Gusman's other accomplishments began prior to his tenure as mayor. He helped build the first lighted baseball diamond in Bay City, and through his efforts, the USO building (Service Center) was built and operated by the USO until the war's end.
While mayor, Gusman worked to expand Bay City's water and sewer systems and sewer plant and worked to purchase many of the city's present recreation areas.
Also during his tenure, the city worked with the county to build the Bay City Municipal Airport which was dedicated in 1970. Gusman sold to the BCISD--at not profit--the 27-acre plot which is the present location of Bay City High School, football field, baseball diamond and gymnasium.
The Mayor was also active in numerous state, church and civic organizations, serving in various capacities on many of them.
Gusman came to Bay City from Weimar at the age of six. He graduated from Bay City High School in 1923 and Southwestern University in 1927. The Mayor did post-graduate work at Columbia University in New York and served in the U. S. Air Force for three years during World War II.

Florence Beatrice Craddock was born on August 26, 1911. She was the daughter of William Attress Craddock (June 8, 1863-February 15, 1950) and Florence Eugenia Punchard Craddock (August 18, 1872 - September 30, 1952). They were married on October 2, 1894, and were the parents of four sons and two daughters: Walter, Larry, Jim, Wallis, Mozelle, and Florence.
Florence was graduated from the University of Texas in 1930 and came to Bay City to work for the Farmers Home Administration. There she met Richard C. Gusman and they were married on August 22, 1944.
Richard became Mayor of Bay City in 1947 and served in that capacity for thirty-two years. Florence became involved in community work. This devoted couple worked together and encouraged each other in their various activities and projects. The Gusmans were active members of the First United Methodist Church of Bay City.
Florence Gusman was a member of many organizations which included the Bay City Art Guild, Garden Club, American Legion Auxiliary, Matagorda County Historical Society, Matagorda County Historical Commission, Matagorda County Federation of Women's Clubs, Comfort Wood Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Cradle of Texas Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, and Captain E. S. Rugeley Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Florence was an outstanding artist who worked in every media of painting. She won many awards and received much recognition in local competitions and in the Art League of Houston. She also won honors for her floral arrangements in garden club exhibitions. She held offices in the local American Legion Auxiliary, as well as the State American Legion Auxiliary. For two years she was State Child Welfare Committee Chairman and at the time of her death, she was a member of the Southern Division of the Rehabilitating and Hospital Committee.
Florence and Richard were chiefly responsible for the organization of the Matagorda County Historical Museum Association. This resulted in the Museum which is located on Sixth Street in Bay City.
In 1954 the Bay City Chamber of Commerce began the custom of presenting a plaque annually to the outstanding man and woman of Matagorda County. Florence was the first woman to receive this honor.
For many years and at the time of her death, Florence was director of the Bay City Service Center, a community center for Matagorda County citizens.
Florence Craddock Gusman, an individual of so many talents and accomplishments, died on April 22, 1966, at the early age of fifty-five. Her life was a busy one, and was spent in service for others.

Jupiter moves into ChinaMarch 2009
Jupiter, the UK fund management consultancy, has set up an investment company to cover China.
Jupiter China Sustainable Growth, to be managed by Jupiter's China fund manager Philip Ehrmann, will be closed-ended, domiciled in Jersey and listed on the London stock exchange. Its aim will be to find socially responsible companies that have the potential to become market leaders.
Ehrmann, who will be supported by Jupiter's socially responsible investment and governance team, said SRI investment in China would be made easier by the Chinese government's 11th five-year plan [2006-2010], which takes account of the social and environmental impacts of companies.
'The ultimate objective is to transform the economy from being export-driven, wasteful and polluting to one of healthy and sustainable growth,' he said. 'I believe that these major policy reforms offer an incredibly compelling investment case. We will be concentrating on identifying those companies which operate in the key growth sectors such as agriculture, transport, healthcare, education and the environment, and which stand to benefit from being at the core of the government's strategy.'

The present invention relates to data processing by digital computer, and more particularly to application recovery.
Grid computing is a form of distributed system wherein computing resources are shared across networks. Grid computing enables the selection, aggregation, and sharing of information resources resident in multiple administrative domains and across geographic areas. These information resources are shared, for example, based upon their availability, capability, and cost, as well as a user's quality of service (QoS) requirements. Grid computing can mean reduced cost of ownership, aggregated and improved efficiency of computing, data, and storage resources, and enablement of the creation of virtual organizations for applications and data sharing.
The present invention provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for application recovery in a grid network.
In one aspect, the invention features a method including in a grid network, querying a grid manager for assignment of a resource for execution of an application, the query including a grid application recovery request, assigning a resource having a grid application recovery service in response to the grid application recovery request, establishing a communication channel between the assigned resource and a recovery application on a recovery resource, and storing recovery information over the communication channel on the recovery resource during execution of the application.
In embodiments, the grid application recovery request can be an extended markup language (XML) file describing which parts of the application are to be saved during execution, how often the parts are to be saved, and a description of the communication channel.
Establishing can include passing the XML file to the recovery application on the recovery resource. Storing can include interrupting the execution of the application in accordance with instructions contained in the XML file, saving the parts of the executing application by the recovery application on the recovery resource as indicated by the instructions in the XML file and resuming the execution of the application.
The method can include restoring parameters stored in the recovery information to the application in the event of a premature termination of the execution of the application, and restarting the execution of the application.
The grid application recovery service can be a web service executing inside a grid container on the recovery resource.
Embodiments of the invention may have one or more of the following advantages.
Application developers do not have to implement a functionality that saves a state of their applications regularly.
Application developers do not have to be concerned about which location the persistent data has to be stored or how their applications get the correct parameters at startup to be able to recover from an unplanned and premature application execution.
The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
As shown in
In the client/server model, one server, sometimes called a daemon, is activated and awaits client requests. Typically, multiple client programs share the services of a common server program. Both client programs and server programs are often part of a larger program or application. Relative to the Internet, a Web browser is a client program that requests services from a Web server in another computer somewhere on the Internet.
Each of the grid compute nodes, grid compute node 18 for example, can include a processor 30 and a memory 32. Memory 32 includes a grid manager 34 and an operating system (OS) 36, such as Unix, Linux or Windows.
Each of the grid compute nodes 12, 14, 16, and 18 include grid-enabled applications capable of executing in response to a request to perform a task. In the event of a crash or premature termination, some of the grid-enabled applications require that their current state of execution and intermediate results be preserved so as not to waste valuable processing power and time before the premature termination. Some of the grid compute nodes, such as grid compute node 18, include recovery service 38 residing in memory 32. Grid compute nodes in network 10 that include a recovery service are generally referred to as recovery resources. In one particular example, a recovery service resides in all of the grid compute nodes 12, 14, 16, and 18. In another particular example, the recovery service resides in one or more grid compute nodes in network 10.
In one embodiment, the recovery service 38 receives and maintains an application recovery file 40, such as an extended markup language (XML) file, from a grid-enabled application upon execution initiation. The application recovery file 40 can be received as metadata in request to execute an application in a grid compute node.
The application recovery file 40 stores the part or parts of a specific application to save, and how often the part or parts are to be saved, during execution. The application recovery file 40 also includes a description of a communications channel that is used to communicate between an application executing in a grid compute node and the recovery service 38.
The communications channel allows an external program (e.g., recovery service 38) to interrupt and continue executing application. In a particular example, this is implemented by having each application listen to a specific TCP/IP port that is specified at startup. In another particular example, an application exposes a web service that is used to send commands to the recovery service 38.
After an application execution is initiated, the recovery service 38 interrupts the executing application over the communications channel, obtains needed recovery information, saves the recovery information, and signals the application to continue. Recovery information can include, for example, saving certain files or certain data residing in a database.
More specifically, an application ready to execute in the grid network 10 queries a grid manager 34 or grid application scheduler to receive a list grid compute nodes available to handle the application execution. In the query (e.g., using the metadata) the application identifies itself to the grid manager as an application needing a grid-managed application recovery service. The application request also defines (e.g., using metadata) at which place an XML file can be found (e.g., by specifying a universal resource locator (URL)) and a description of a communications channel.
The grid manager 34 selects only grid compute nodes with an application recovery service in place. In embodiments, the application recovery service 34 is a grid service or web service running inside a grid container on a grid compute node, or an application running on a grid compute node.
The grid manager 34 employs the grid compute node and when the application is started an XML file passed to the application recovery service 38 that will track the application.
Once the application starts, the grid manager 34 sends a connect command to the application recovery service 38 and the application recovery service 38 connects to the application using the communication channel specified in the XML file.
As specified in the XML file, the application recovery service 38 interrupts the application at certain times and performs a save operation as specified in the XML file. After a successful save operation the application recovery service 38 sends a continue to the application.
In the application fails (e.g., crashes or fails to respond to an interrupt message in a specified amount of time), the application recovery service 38 acts according to the XML file, e.g., put files to certain locations or restore data in a database. The application is restarted.
As shown in
Process 100 assigns (104) a resource (e.g., grid compute node) having a grid application recovery service in response to the grid application recovery request. In a particular example, the grid application recovery service is a web service executing inside a grid container on a recovery resource.
Process 100 establishes (106) the communication channel between the assigned resource and a recovery application on a recovery resource. In a particular example, establishing (106) includes passing the XML file to the recovery application on the recovery resource.
Process 100 stores (108) recovery information over the communication channel on the recovery resource during execution of the application. Storing (108) includes interrupting the execution of the application in accordance with instructions contained in the XML file, saving the parts of the executing application by the recovery application on the recovery resource as indicated by the instructions in the XML file and resuming the execution of the application.
Process 100 restores (110) parameters stored in the recovery information to the application in the event of a premature termination of the execution of the application.
The invention can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer hardware, firmware, software, or in combinations of them. The invention can be implemented as a computer program product, i.e., a computer program tangibly embodied in an information carrier, e.g., in a machine-readable storage device or in a propagated signal, for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus, e.g., a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple computers. A computer program can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.
Method steps of the invention can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing a computer program to perform functions of the invention by operating on input data and generating output. Method steps can also be performed by, and apparatus of the invention can be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit).
Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory or a random access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for executing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks. Information carriers suitable for embodying computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in special purpose logic circuitry.

Support from Management
The administration did not provide good support to its workers. There's a lot of favoritism and drama.
Level of Autonomy
Able to plan you're room exactly how you'd like. Downside is there's almost no oversight at all which means o support either.
Communication was given out in the form of insulting memos. Rarely had staff meetings.
Workplace Safety
Training was kept to a minimum. Also you have to pay for your trainings and aren't paid for your time to go.

A new short film of Angry Birds Space is to air on Nickelodeon tomorrow, as Rovio launches its biggest ever integrated campaign for the blockbuster game.
Angry Birds Space today became available to download for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices, as well as Mac and PC. A retail copy of the game for PC will follow shortly.
The game marks the first integrated entertainment launch for Finnish firm Rovio, including accompanying Angry Birds Space merchandise, animation and books.
This also includes an Angry Birds Space cartoon airing exclusively on Nickelodeon on March 23 at 6pm, revealing six brand new birds in the series.
The animated short tells the story of how the Angry Birds ended up in space, after a cosmic vortex appears and sucks them into another galaxy. The feathered heroes then have to "slingshot themselves into a new adventure - space".
Since Angry Birds debuted on Apple's iOS devices in December 2009, it has become the most popular mobile game ever, racking up 700m downloads in its first two years alone.
The game is available to play for free supported by adverts, but around 25% of downloads are understood to be for the paid, advert-free versions on smartphones and tablets. Angry Birds remains one of the most popular paid apps in the iTunes App Store.
The success of Angry Birds has transformed Rovio Entertainment into a powerhouse in mobile gaming, helping the firm raise $42m in venture capital funding last March from Accel Partners, Atomico and Felicis Ventures.
Rovio has also been successful in developing Angry Birds into a successful brand, tapping into the lucrative markets for merchandising and licensing, including cuddly toys, branded goods and entertainment spinoffs.
The company announced yesterday that various Angry Birds-themed parks will be built around the world over the next year.
Rovio has teamed up with playground equipment maker Lappset Group to create the activity parks, which will feature interactive content and "exclusive" downloads.
The first Angry Birds park will be constructed in Finland this summer, with UK sites to follow.

TORONTO Steve Molitor can pinpoint the exact day the disappointment and anger he felt after losing his world championship belt faded completely.
It took up until January 5, when my son was born. Then all the bad memories were erased, Molitor said Monday during a media event in Toronto announcing his return to the ring against Mexican Heriberto Ruiz June 26 at Casino Rama.
It changed my perspective. I have a family to provide for now. Before Id just fight, do my thing. Its been a good change, a very positive change. I train my ass off and I go home and see my family and that really motivates me.
Not that Molitor needs much additional motivation after losing his IBF junior featherweight title and unblemished record, which fell to 28-1 to Panamanian WBA champ Celestino Caballero in a unification bout last November. Caballero completely dominated Molitor before stopping him in the fourth round, stunning a partisan crowd at Casino Rama.
The 29-year-old from Sarnia, Ont., nicknamed The Canadian Kid, was shocked and embarrassed by a performance nobody saw coming.
Mentally, I might have let the pressure get to me, let the hype build up, Molitor admitted. It was a Steve Molitor who has never shown up in the ring before. Ive learned from it and I wont make that mistake again. If it happens again, if Im under that big pressure, Ill be ready for it.
After the loss to Caballero, promoter Allan Tremblay told Molitor to get completely away from boxing. During his respite from the ring, Molitor got married and had a son, Steel.
The time off also gave him some renewed perspective on a sport hes been competing in for more than 20 years and a chance to get over the anger and disappointment.
Everybody loses, its part of this sport, he said. There are lots of guys who have lost and come back to be world champions.
Molitors road back to a title fight starts against 31-year-old Ruiz (41-7-2, 23 KOs), who beat Mauricio Martinez by unanimous decision to earn a spot in the main event at Casino Rama. The winner of the Molitor-Ruiz bout will receive the number two ranking by the IBF.
After successfully defending the IBF belt five times in Rumble at Rama events, Molitor will enter the ring for the first time since 2006 without a belt around his waist. Its something he seems intent on rectifying quickly, even though he insists he isnt looking past Ruiz.
(The loss) made me hungry, Molitor said. It motivated me to train a little harder. Sometimes you get complacent. I have a lot to prove to the critics. If you win youre a hero, if you lose youre a zero. Thats the way the boxing world is. I knew that a long time ago.
During the informal gathering at the Delta Chelsea hotel, Tremblay announced that Billy Martin will be in Molitors corner for the fight with Ruiz, replacing regular trainer Stephane Larouche. Martin has worked with Molitor on conditioning his last two fights but will have total control of his training for at least one fight.
It did affect him initially but now he seems back on track, Martin said of Molitors frame of mind following the loss to Caballero. You can tell the difference between now and then. Hes very hungry to get back on top and prove himself.
The switch in trainers, which could last just one fight, is not a result of what happened in November, Tremblay says. Its more about Larouches busy schedule and the fact hes located in Montreal.
Molitor wanted to stay close to his family he calls Mississauga home now while he prepared to face Ruiz. And in Martin, he gets a trainer hes already familiar with.
This is a huge fight for Steve, a massive fight, Tremblay said. The rationale behind that hasnt anything to do with performance at all, or his relationship with Steve. We needed someone to give him full-time attention. This is a huge fight for both of them.
Nine Canadians, including heavyweight Greg The Steel Pole Kiesla, are scheduled to be part of the six-fight undercard at Casino Rama. The Molitor-Ruiz fight will be broadcast live on TSN.
