| celebrating 100 years in business: Celebrating 100 Years of the Texas Folklore Society, 1909-2009 Kenneth L. Untiedt, 2009 The Texas Folklore Society is one of the oldest and most prestigious organizations in the state. Its secret for longevity lies in those things that make it unique, such as its annual meeting that seems more like a social event or family reunion than a formal academic gathering. This book examines the Society's members and their substantial contributions to the field of folklore over the last century. Some articles focus on the research that was done in the past, while others offer studies that continue today. This book does more than present a history of the Texas Folklore Society: it explains why the TFS has lasted so long, and why it will continue. |

| celebrating 100 years in business: Making the World Work Better Kevin Maney, Steve Hamm, Jeffrey O'Brien, 2011-06-10 Thomas J Watson Sr’s motto for IBM was THINK, and for more than a century, that one little word worked overtime. In Making the World Work Better: The Ideas That Shaped a Century and a Company, journalists Kevin Maney, Steve Hamm, and Jeffrey M. O’Brien mark the Centennial of IBM’s founding by examining how IBM has distinctly contributed to the evolution of technology and the modern corporation over the past 100 years. The authors offer a fresh analysis through interviews of many key figures, chronicling the Nobel Prize-winning work of the company’s research laboratories and uncovering rich archival material, including hundreds of vintage photographs and drawings. The book recounts the company’s missteps, as well as its successes. It captures moments of high drama – from the bet-the-business gamble on the legendary System/360 in the 1960s to the turnaround from the company’s near-death experience in the early 1990s. The authors have shaped a narrative of discoveries, struggles, individual insights and lasting impact on technology, business and society. Taken together, their essays reveal a distinctive mindset and organizational culture, animated by a deeply held commitment to the hard work of progress. IBM engineers and scientists invented many of the building blocks of modern information technology, including the memory chip, the disk drive, the scanning tunneling microscope (essential to nanotechnology) and even new fields of mathematics. IBM brought the punch-card tabulator, the mainframe and the personal computer into the mainstream of business and modern life. IBM was the first large American company to pay all employees salaries rather than hourly wages, an early champion of hiring women and minorities and a pioneer of new approaches to doing business--with its model of the globally integrated enterprise. And it has had a lasting impact on the course of society from enabling the US Social Security System, to the space program, to airline reservations, modern banking and retail, to many of the ways our world today works. The lessons for all businesses – indeed, all institutions – are powerful: To survive and succeed over a long period, you have to anticipate change and to be willing and able to continually transform. But while change happens, progress is deliberate. IBM – deliberately led by a pioneering culture and grounded in a set of core ideas – came into being, grew, thrived, nearly died, transformed itself... and is now charting a new path forward for its second century toward a perhaps surprising future on a planetary scale. |

| celebrating 100 years in business: A Century of Orange and Blue Loren Tate, Jared Gelfond, 2004 A Century of Orange and Blue is just that--an in-depth look at the history of one of the Big Ten's premiere basketball programs. The University of Illinois' basketball roots date back to 1901, when the idea of men's basketball was introduced to UI director of athletics George Huff during a scrimmage at the Men's Old Gym. By 1906 a varsity basketball team was in place under the direction of Leo Hana and coach Elwood Brown. That team defeated Champaign High School, 71-4, on Jan. 6, 1906, before losing to more formidable college teams in Purdue and Indiana. Some 100 years later, the Fighting Illini have hoisted 15 Big Ten championship banners and sent four teams to the Final Four in search of a NCAA championship. From the Whiz Kids of '42 to the Flyin' Illini of '89 to the Big Ten champs of '04, A Century of Orange and Blue is full of fond memories of fantastic teams, recounted by authors Loren Tate and Jared Gelfond and the amazing players and coaches that put Illini basketball on the national map. |

| celebrating 100 years in business: Celebrating 100 Years of Female Fellowship of the Geological Society: Discovering Forgotten Histories C.V. Burek, B.M. Higgs, 2021-03-18 The Geological Society of London was founded in 1807. At the time, membership was restricted to men, many of whom became well-known names in the history of the geological sciences. On the 21 May 1919, the first female Fellows were elected to the Society, 112 years after its formation. This Special Publication celebrates the centenary of that important event. In doing so it presents the often untold stories of pioneering women geoscientists from across the world who navigated male-dominated academia and learned societies, experienced the harsh realities of Siberian field-exploration, or responded to the strategic necessity of the ‘petroleum girls’ in early American oil exploration and production. It uncovers important female role models in the history of science, and investigates why not all of these women received due recognition from their contemporaries and peers. The work has identified a number of common issues that sometimes led to original work and personal achievements being lost or unacknowledged, and as a consequence, to histories being unwritten. |

| celebrating 100 years in business: The Progress Principle Teresa Amabile, Steven Kramer, 2011-07-19 What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance. |

Now, Angela Merkel, who was, obviously, at many of the events that took place on this day, said that it was a solemn event that took place. She said, on the one hand, of course, the fall of the wall is something that continues to be celebrated in Germany, and of course, in other places in Europe as well, but it also comes with the fact that at this point in time, the values that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and to the unity in Europe need to be defended more than ever before. Here’s what Angela Merkel had to say. ANGELA MERKEL, CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY (VIA INTERPRETER) … but the values that Europe is based on: freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, respect for human rights—these are definitely not to be taken for granted, and they have to be lived and defended again and again. Europe must continue to stand for democracy, freedom, human rights and tolerance in the future, and this is more topical than ever in times of profound technical and global changes. FRED PLEITGEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT But of course, even that solemn mood did not stop many people from coming out here and just simply celebrating the fact that Europe is free, that Berlin and, of course, Germany are both united. As you can see, right here, at the East Side Gallery, which is the single longest strip11 of what was the Berlin Wall that continues to stand today and where, as you can see, many artists have painted pictures on what used to be the wall, folks came out and, obviously, took snapshots themselves. Many of them also posing [posed] with our own CNN Trabant—the iconic communist car that so symbolized East Germany and [was] really a way of life in East Germany. Now, all of this, for many people, of course, is a tourist attraction. The wall, the old cars—those are now tourist attractions, but nevertheless, a lot of the folks that come out here, obviously, [are] also very much educated about the fact that the Berlin Wall, in its days, was an instrument of repression, a place where many people were killed trying to get into freedom. But then, also, when the wall came down, when people managed to breach the wall itself, [it] became a symbol of freedom because it was the people of Germany—the people of Europe—that tore the wall down 30 years ago. Fred Pleitgen, CNN, Berlin. CNN特派員 弗瑞德．普雷根 成千上萬人現身德國首都柏林這裡，慶祝柏林圍牆倒塌三十週年──當然了，這是導致共產黨（編按：指歐洲共產主義）在一九八九年走向終點的關鍵事件之一。 安格拉．梅克爾顯然出席了多場在這天舉辦的活動，她表示這是發生過的一起莊嚴事件。她說一方面，柏林圍牆的倒塌在德國當然是一件持續在慶祝的事，在歐洲其他地方自然也是如此，不過伴隨而來的事實是，當初致使柏林圍牆倒下和歐洲團結一心的價值，在此時比以往更須加以捍衛。 以下是安格拉．梅克爾的發言。 德國總理 安格拉．梅克爾（經由口譯） ……但是歐洲的價值是建立在自由、民主、平等、法治與尊重人權之上的──這些絕對不能被視為理所當然，而且必須一再地加以實踐與捍衛。 未來，歐洲必須繼續為民主、自由、人權與包容挺身而出，而正值科技與全球變化如此巨大的時代，這件事比以往更加受到關注。 CNN特派員 弗瑞德．普雷根 但是當然，即便那般肅穆的心情也阻擋不了許多人來到此地純粹只是為了讚頌歐洲是自由的，以及柏林和德國都是統一團結的。 如各位所見，就在東邊畫廊，也就是今日依然矗立，最長的一段柏林圍牆遺跡，各位可以看到，很多藝術家在這面從前的柏林圍牆上作畫，顯然可見，大伙都來到這裡隨手拍照。 當中有許多人也擺好姿勢和本台的特拉邦車合影，這是一輛象徵著東德，實際上也是一種東德生活方式的典型共產黨時代車。 對許多人而言，這全部當然就是一個觀光景點。圍牆、古董車──那些東西現在是觀光景點，但是很多來到這邊的人也都非常清楚柏林圍牆在那個年代是一個迫害的工具，許多人因為設法獲得自由而在這裡遭到殺害。但是當這面牆倒下，當人們成功打破這道圍牆時，它也就成了一個自由的象徵，因為三十年前正是德國人民，也就是歐洲人民將這道圍牆拆毀的。 本台記者弗瑞德．普雷根，在柏林的報導。 政治 A Symbol of Freedom 柏林圍牆倒塌30週年 歐洲社會仍盼團結 Germans Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall 去年適逢作為二戰後德國分裂和冷戰象徵的柏林圍牆倒塌30年，許多民眾前來圍牆遺址拍照留念，但歐洲日益加深的政經分歧也讓人擔心隱形的高牆是否依然矗立。 科技 A Girl-Actic Achievement 首次全女性太空漫步 寫下航太新里程碑 First All-Female Space Walk Completed at International Space Station 美國太空總署兩名女性太空人進行艙外活動，完成充放電組件更換作業，全程歷時7個多小時，同時也創下首次完全由女性太空人進行的太空漫步。 商業 King of the Air 英國航空見證商用飛行百年演進 Looking Back at 100 Years of Commercial Aviation 荷蘭航空、哥倫比亞航空和英國航空都在2019年慶祝啟航100週年。本文帶各位回顧商用飛行百年來的重要里程碑。 社會 Going Zero 阿姆斯特丹推動十年計畫 打造零碳排城市 Amsterdam Aims to Cut Emissions to Zero by 2030 荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹展開對抗空污十年計畫，階段性減少汽、柴油車進入市區，目標在2030年成為零碳排城市。 科技 Cyber Theft 打卡、標籤洩個資 小心駭客找上門 Demonstrating How Easy It Is to Steal Your ID over the Phone 資安專家警告，人們放上社交網站上的任何資訊，都可能遭有心人士利用，成為竊取個資，甚至偽造身分的工具，不可不慎！ 商業 Land of Innovation CNN 獨家參訪三星研發中心 創新科技搶先看 CNN Gets Exclusive Access to Samsung’s R&D Labs 科技巨擘三星電子近年除了繼續持續開發智慧型手機，也將更多資源投入創新計畫。CNN獨家進入門禁森嚴的三星研發實驗室一窺究竟。 體育 Strike One! 全民瘋棒球 熱血沸騰的日本野球文化 Feeling the Vibe in a Japanese Baseball Game 棒球將在2020年東京奧運中回歸奧運殿堂。CNN體育特派員搶先到東京親身觀賞日職比賽，感受熱力十足的日本野球文化。 環境 Soy Story 看天吃飯！氣候變遷下的糧食危機 Climate Change’s Impact on Food Production 人類活動所產生的大量二氧化碳，理論上有助於作物生長，實際上卻會減少作物中的營養素。氣候變遷下的糧食危機，成為二十一世紀人類必然面對的一大課題。 旅遊 The Closest Shave 土耳其浴、男士理髮 到伊斯坦堡來場脫胎換骨之旅！ Exploring the Personal Grooming Culture of Istanbul 土耳其男人以重儀容、愛打扮聞名。造訪土耳其時不妨到浴場洗香香，再去男士理髮店修容，來場充滿道地風味的文化體驗。 保健 Phone Alone 拒絕青少年網路成癮 南韓開辦手機戒斷營 Tackling Korea’s Smartphone Addiction 現代人手機不離手，網路成癮已成為難以忽視的社會、健康問題。有鑑於此，南韓政府開辦營隊，幫助青少年脫離數位產品的制約。 焦點話題 raid 突襲（行動） rout 潰敗 bushfire 叢林野火 empty nester 空巢老人 CNN 全球瞭望 Uluru Closes for Climbers 「世界的中心」烏魯魯封山 Microsoft Tests Four-Day Work Week 微軟日本試行每週上班四天成效佳 Google’s Quantum Breakthrough Google 研發出神運算超級電腦 CNN主編教你唸 荷比盧知名景點 全方位搞懂CNN America’s Hero Canine 追捕ISIS 首腦建大功 美軍狗英雄爆紅 |
