Tadian is the center of high school education of western Mountain Province from the pre-war times up to the present. History tells that the Holy Rosary High School in Kayan is among the first established high school in the province where its first graduates came from the different municipalities of Bontoc namely: Tadian, Bauko, Sabangan, Besao and Sagada. The establishment of Tadian School of Art and Trades, the first trade school established in the province saw the presence of enrollees from the different municipalities.

At present, Tadian still enjoys its role as the center of education of the west, because of the presence of College in the locality, the Engineering Department of Mountain Province State Polytechnic College that offers engineering courses, education and Masteral courses.

Socio-cultural development:

The inhabitants of Tadian municipality came from different places of origin. The early settlers that inhabited the barangays of Zone III or Demang in the local vernacular that covers the barangays of Bana-ao, Cadad-anan, Cagubatan, Dacudac, Lenga and Pandayan came from Miligan or Namiligan. A place just below the Inodey falls and Lesseb, Bauko. The people here are now called to belong to the Kankanaey Tribe. The early settlers that inhabited the rest of the barangays of Tadian that covers the central part (Zone I) and Sulumaside(Zone II) were believed to have came from Dallican and Cayos of the Ilocos Coast and are now called to belong to the Applai tribe.

The Socio-cultural characteristics of these two tribes of Tadian can be traced back to the early ages. As in the past, they still have common cultural practices such as conducting yearly begnas or festivals (before planting and before harvesting) and other form of kanao or sida. At present, they wear no more their G-string and tapis as their main clothing, they wear these clothings during special occasions and festivals as their special clothings.

It is said that the dead remains as their spiritual adviser in such a way that the family should leave their place when the crop is not bountiful, or when a member feels ill or when bad luck besets them. It is their belief that the spirit of the dead does not want to stay there anymore and not blame on any outside circumstances. Thus, explains their being migratory or nomadic.

At present, most people of the municipality are christianized which saw the declined of conduct of the so many cultural practices in the past. People already are selective, only the goods ones are continued while the considered hindrances to their growth economically and spiritually are being left and sometimes forgotten by this generation.

Hard Drives are Failure-Prone

Hard drives store information like music, documents, email and pictures on your computer. We have hard drives in our computers to store the information that would otherwise be lost when the computer shuts down. Unlike other critical electronic computer components, hard drives are more mechanical in nature, experiencing a lot of movement that leads to failure, which means the possibility of data loss.

Causes of Failure

The hard drive has a circuit board that communicates with the computer. This can be damaged by power surges and overheating. If the hard drive gets bumped, the head (which is responsible for reading and writing data to platters in the hard drive) can hit the surface of the disk. If this happens, then you are likely to hear a clicking sound coming from your hard drive. Your computer's hard drive spins very fast, and when the spindle locks up, won't spin properly.

Common reasons for data recovery requests include instances where the hard drive...

·         has been hit by a virus (lately, Yaj Computers has seen a lot of malicious programs hiding files on your desktop and My Documents folder)

·         has been formatted

·         makes clicking noises

·         has burned chips

·         has failing logic boards

·         no longer spins

·         has data errors

·         has physical damage

·         has suffered fire or flood damage

Warning Signs

Listen for odd sounds like clicking sounds, grinding noises, and whirring sounds - if you hear these noises, stop using the computer immediately. A slowing computer that is not explained by low memory could be related to the hard drive, especially if it takes a long time to open file folders. Watch out for blue-screen issues, computer boot failures, and sudden, unexpected reboots. These can be signs that your hard drive's death is imminent.

What You Can Do About It

First, back up your files regularly, or get help with setting a backup services. If it's too late, then it may be time for a data recovery service, which is not as easy as backing up your computer in the first place.
