Are ADSL VPNs a type of MPLS VPN?
By Rainer Enders, CTO of Americas for NCP engineering
In general, MPLS VPN is a service provider technology where the customer trusts the service provider to securely handle and deliver the traffic between sites. Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS utilize the same basic principles for transporting traffic across the provider network, namely MPLS label switching, setting up Tunnel Label Switched Paths (LSPs). However, the difference is that L3 VPN MPLS uses IP Routing and L2 VPN MPLS uses a circuit switching approach, similar to how leased line services were provided via frame relay or ATM using PVCs. The MPLS VPN approach is more flexible for service providers as it allows them to utilize the same networking equipment for all operations. The customer data is encapsulated and carried across the provider network via MPLS, label switched.
ADSL is just a telco DSL type. It describes how the connection to the customer premise is accomplished. There are many different ways to do this. It used to be frame relay, which is losing ground to now DSL, Gigabit Ethernet, fiber and others. There are mainly three components in every connection scenario: the provider network, the customer network and the last mile that bridges the connection between customer and provider. Sometimes this last mile piece can get tricky for providers to deal with due to the telco rights-of-way.

Wachula Ghost, a hacker with an anti-IS agenda, has been haunting the Twitter accounts of Islamic State supporters, replacing the terror and hate messages with pornographic content.
Close to 160 members of the terrorist group recently found their accounts filled with pictures of nude women and texts that read, "I [heart] porn.", reports Washington Times.
The hacker's journey began when he bought his first computer at 16, took it home and disassembled it. When he put the machine back together, it refused to run, pushing him to take help from a local big-box store tech guru, who eventually taught the teen how to hack.
The teen is now a part of a community of international activist hackers called 'Anonymous', who had declared war against IS post the attacks in France in 2015, reports Deccan Chronicle.
He explained his motives in a telephonic interview conducted by The The Washington Post.
"Daesh (Islamic State) doesn't like porn," Ghost told The Washington Post. "They don't like women in general. We just started using [porn] to poke fun at them and diminish their presence online."
By tweeting sexual content from IS accounts, the Ghost said he wants to weaken the voices of IS recruiters and chase them off of popular social networks, reports the The Washington Post.
"The madder they get, the happier I get," he was reported as saying.
Despite the general appreciation that Ghost seems to be receiving on Twitter for his agenda against the IS, many do not approve of his method. Putting up pornographic content on Twitter, experts say, could hurt the sentiments of a number of communities, and of those who have nothing to do with the IS, says the report.
Ghost admitted that children should not be exposed to pornography, but he reiterated that his "hacktivism" was targeted at Islamic State recruiters and those who look for the group's propaganda., reports Washington Times.
Ghost has doubled his efforts post the Orlando shooting that killed 50 people. Many of the IS accounts were replaced with gay pride posts as well. The hacker made a list of all the compromised IS accounts called 'jacked accounts' on Twitter and the social networking site soon deleted all of them.

How to Ask Your Best Guy Friend Out
Explore this Article Conveying Interest Asking the Guy Out Transitioning the Relationship Questions & Answers Related Articles
wikiHow's Content Management Team carefully monitors the work from our editorial staff to ensure that each article meets our high quality standards. Learn more...
It's not uncommon to develop feelings for a friend. In fact, the emotional intimacy you feel in friendship is often similar to feelings of intimacy you would feel in a romantic relationship.[1] Many successful romantic relationships began as friendships. If you want to ask your guy friend out, it just takes a little time and courage. Spend a bit of time establishing that you're interested by flirting and becoming more physical. When you feel ready, ask him out in a straightforward manner. If you begin dating, work on a smooth transition from just friends to something more.
Part 1
Conveying Interest
1Be confident around the guy. If you want to be more than friends, work on conveying confidence around the guy. If you want him to return your attraction, simple confidence goes a long way.[2]
- Many people feel inclined to be goofy or self-depreciating when first meeting people. While this tactic goes a long way in terms of making friends, it may falter when you're trying to attract a new romantic interest. Instead of jokingly poking fun at yourself, strive to convey confidence.
- You can be funny. Funny can be very charming, but stick to making jokes about topics other than yourself. Try to be comfortable with yourself in general, smiling, standing up straight, and participating in conversation without hesitance.
2Watch for signs he's interested in you. Try to get a sense of whether the feeling is mutual. If you sense mutual attraction, you may feel more comfortable eventually asking the guy out. Keep an eye out for signs of interest.[3]
- Watch his body language. If a guy wants to be more than friends, he'll use many excuses to touch you. He may offer a hug upon seeing you for the first time. He may brush his fingers on your forearm. You may also catch him looking at you during odd times.
- He may also ask you questions to gauge whether you're interested. He may, for example, ask about your weekend plans. He may also ask if you have dates for certain events, and even offer to escort you as a friend.
3Start being more physical. If you want to show you're interested, start getting a little more physical with the guy. Touch his forearm while talking. Sit closer to him than you usually would on the couch. Offer a hug when first seeing him at social events. A little physical contact can show you're interested in something more than friendship.
4Flirt with him. Flirtation is also key to showing a guy your'e interested. This can help pave the way to asking him out. Aim for subtle flirting at first, as not to make the relationship too awkward.[4]
- Brief eye contact can convey romantic interest. Catch the guy's gaze for a few seconds and then look away. You should also smile and act happy in general when around him.
- Try to mimic his body language. Do not be too obvious about this, but try to imitate his hand gestures and the way he's positioning his body. For example, if he's crossing his legs, cross your legs as well.
5Remain busy and engaged with other social obligations. If you're really interested in someone, especially someone who's also a friend, you may be inclined to clear your schedule to make room for a potential date. Refrain from doing so, however. If you make yourself completely available, while the other person remains occupied with his or her life, you risk creating an one-sided dynamic. You'll be left waiting for a text or call, while the guy carries on with his life.[5]
- Keep up with existing social obligations and plans until you've made solid plans for a date. Do not, for example, clear you're weekend because you're planning to ask the guy out.
- Staying busy can also convey confidence, which can be attractive to many. Having your own life and obligations makes you look more desirable in the eye of the guy.
Part 2
Asking the Guy Out
1Accept uncertainty. Uncertainty is a big setback when it comes to transitioning from friends to more than friends. Many people let the uncertainty of how a potential relationship will unfold hold them back. Accept there will be a lot of uncertainty when you try to push a relationship from friendship to something more.[6]
- Understand you cannot predict another person's behavior. Try not to get too hung up on how the guy may react. Go into the situation with no expectations.
- It's okay to have some plan of what you're going to say. In fact, it can be helpful to have some small speech planned out to help yourself stay calm. However, avoid playing out scenarios in your mind regarding how the conversation may unfold, and how the guy may respond.
2Take your time. If you're feeling nervous, you may stumble over your words when asking someone out. Do not try to rush the question. Instead, go slowly and make sure you say exactly what you want to say.[7]
- Take a few deep breaths before going into the conversation if you're feeling nervous.
- Try to talk slowly. People have a tendency to rush if they're feeling nervous, so make a point of saying one word at a time.
3Be straightforward about what you want. When it comes to asking someone out, you're not doing anyone a favor by being subtle. If you're starting out as just friends, asking to get coffee or see a movie may not be enough to let the guy know it's a date. Make sure what you're asking is clear.[8]
- Try to say what you want outright. Ask the guy on something that is clearly a date and, if necessary, outright say it's a date.
- You can let the guy know you have feelings for him. Say something like, "I feel like we have a lot in common and there's some mutual attraction here. Would you like to go out and see a movie sometime?"
4Prepare for rejection. When asking anyone out, there's always a risk of rejection. No matter how sure you are the feeling is mutual, you can't know for sure. Understand, going into the situation there's a chance the guy will say, "No." While you should not assume the worst, it's a good idea to prepare for the fact things may not go as well as you expected.
- Try to stay positive in the event you're rejected. Remember, the two of you are friends. Even if things will not work out romantically, try to value the fact you still have a solid friendship.
Part 3
Transitioning the Relationship
1Show you care. In the event you and your guy friend do end up as more than friends, you'll have to work to establish extra intimacy. In order to make it clear you're now more than friends, work to show you care.[9]
- Leave your guy friend surprises. Write him a special note telling him how much you care. Buy him a small present now and then.
- Be more physically affectionate. Seek to hold hands and cuddle when you're together.
2Reassure your guy friend you want the relationship. Sometimes, the transition between friends and more than friends can be confusing. It's a good idea to take measures to make sure your guy friend knows you want the relationship as much as he does.[10]
- It may be easier to communicate openly when you started out as friends. You can have open, honest discussions with your partner about what you want out of the relationship, and what expectations you have regarding a romantic relationship.
- At first, you may have to reassure your partner a lot that you want the relationship. Let your partner know about once a week for the first few months you're happy to be more than friends.
3Socialize as a team. Another way to solidify the transition is altering how you socialize. Try to stay together at parties. Interact with mutual friends as a couple instead of one-on-one. At parties, stay in the same conversations rather than talking to people individually. You'll feel more like a couple than friends if you start doing things as a "we" instead of a "you" and a "me."[11]
4Have patience. It can take time for a friendship to feel like a romance. Try not to have high expectations in regards to what your relationship will look like. It will take awhile to feel like more than friends, and there may be awkward or confusing interactions along the way. If you're committed to being more than friends, allow the transition to happen gradually. Stay patient and remember, if you really care about this person, the relationship will be worth it in the long run.[12]
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I ask my friend that likes me out?Community AnswerBe straightforward. If you already know your friend likes you, this should take away some of the pressure. Ask if your friend wants to go out to the movies or to go get coffee. Make it clear that you're asking him out on a date.
QuestionWhat if he is not into dating? How would I convince him to go out?Community AnswerIf someone is not interested in a relationship at this time, it's best not to push it. You do not want anyone to feel pressured into dating you, as this can lead to resentment.
QuestionThere is this guy and he is my best friend. All my friends think he likes me and I like him. What do I do?Community AnswerIf you're okay pursuing a romantic relationship, ask your friend out on a date. However, you may feel hesitance if you do not want to screw up the friendship. Think for awhile about the possible repercussions of dating a friend. Consider whether you could conceivably stay friends if the relationship ends.
QuestionWhat if you don't know how he feels about you?Community AnswerTry to pay attention to his behavior when you're together. Does he make eye contact frequently? Does he like to hug or touch you in subtle ways? Does he seem to text and call you a lot? If so, the feeling may be mutual.
QuestionWhat if your best friend says no to going out?Community AnswerUnfortunately, if someone doesn't like you, there's no much you can do to change that. Try to get some space from your friend for a little bit in order to get over your feelings for him. Once you're feeling better about being rejected, you can work on reigniting the friendship.
QuestionWhat if you and the boy are in middle school and are not great friends?Community AnswerYou can still ask someone out if you're not friends first. You can also try to become friends first, if you would feel more comfortable. Try hanging out with the boy in group settings, like inviting him to a movie with you and your friends. If you feel a romantic spark, consider asking him out down the road.
QuestionI asked my guy best friend out and he said sure. What should I do?Community AnswerGo on the date and try to have fun. In the event you end up a couple, you can work on transitioning into a romantic relationship.
QuestionWhat if you asked him out before and he said no?Community AnswerFeelings can change. If you've noticed the boy seems to be interested in you, he may have developed romantic feelings. However, if the boy's behavior towards you has remained more or less the same, it's best not to ask him out again. You can make the friendship uncomfortable if the boy feels like you're pressuring him to pursue something more than friendship when he's not interested.
- Transitioning into a romantic relationship can potentially affect your friendship. Be aware that you may be putting your friendship at risk by pursuing a romantic relationship.

by Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies – We Can't Get Away With It
Life is like a boomerang. What we say and do will always come back to us. We can't get away with anything. What we sow into our family life we will reap, not only in this life, but in generations to come. Our attitude and the words we speak (or don't speak if it is the "silent treatment") into our husband and children's lives will reap a harvest of blessing or ultimate destruction.
We know God's Word in Galatians 6:7 which says, "Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." We don't always reap immediately. Sometimes it takes years (maybe ten, twenty, or even thirty years) before the boomerang comes back, but it always does. The words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow stand true, "Though the mills of God grind slowly; Yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, With exactness grinds he all".
We see an example of this in 2 Samuel 21 where God sent three years of famine in the time of King David. David enquired of the Lord and God told him it was because Saul slew the Gibeonites with whom Joshua had made a covenant not to destroy them. Joshua had been dead for many years. Saul was now dead and I guess no one remembered the covenant Joshua had made so many years ago. But, God remembered. and retribution had to be made.
I have watched wives sow hate and discontentment and yet they wonder why their marriage eventually crumbles. We cannot reap a harvest of love if we don't sow love and kindness.

About Dana Latter
AGAINST THE ODDS Author
My Story
No parent wants to believe that their child isn't perfect but when by the age of four my son couldn't speak I knew I had no other choice.
I came across countless professionals searching for answers and treatments but still the reason my son wasn't being accepted by the other kids, he couldn't connect to his father and even was rejected by the my extended family.
The Doctors kept on telling me that he is a late bloomer but I felt that there is something wrong.
I took matters into my hands and set out for answers.
Against The Odds
The book gave me a fantastic insight in to the battles that parents have to face in order to get the support their children should be entitled too. This book highlighted to me how great the need is for each child to be treated as an individual in order to reach their potential and how key the role of adults are in helping children to develop. Having met Guy in the last year I found it inspiring to see the journey he has come on and humbled to think of the level of dedication he has shown to be included in our activities given the difficulties he has faced in the past. Hopefully this book can help all parents to challenge the norms where their children are concerned and will encourage more professionals to explore the values of alternative ways of communicating, teaching and learning.
Luke Howard – Arsenal in the Community
"This book illustrates the journey of a mother who first had to understand her sons difficulties. She needed to come to terms with this and then proactively help them to achieve their full potential.
The book is written in an empathetic way that brings her challenges to life. It is informative and shows how much a mother can achieve to bring out the best of her children's ability.
Any parent who has a child with sensory difficulties and disorders should make this essential reading. This book is motivating and informative and will go a long way to help so many children with similar challenges.
Well done, Dana, on making such a difference to the lives of your sons!
Dr Clyde Alexander (Optometrist)
"This is such an informative and inspirational book which I urge all teachers to read. This amazing mother has left no stone unturned to find the right treatments, therapies and programmes in order to help her sons with Sensory Processing Disorder. It's a mine of really useful information and resources for parents of children with SPD, but parents of children with any additional needs will find it helpful. This book also proves that parents really are the experts where their children are concerned. I have a Masters in Applied Linguistics and teach students with specific learning difficulties, so I was particularly interested in the research on neuro-plasticity. This is a book of such hope for us all as it clearly shows that the neural pathways in the brain can indeed re-wire. You don't need any knowledge of neurology to read this book, though, as it's all explained in really simple terms and is well laid-out. I'll be recommending this one to all my colleagues!

1. Re: Have problem aboutJaikiran Pai Feb 5, 2007 3:16 PM (in response to LeQuoc Thai)
I dont think, you need all this to login using JAAS. Its pretty simple, you need to have the user.conf in your classpath and add using System.setProperty. Also, i see a problem in the code that you have:
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("clientTest", new MyCallbackHandler());
Shouldnt "clientTest" be "userTest" since your user.conf mentions userTest?

Can you please tell me how to make it possible form config file it self, because i want to use my own LoginModule.

The neighborhood was quiet when I stepped outside Sunday night. I could hear traffic in the distance, but, after weeks, the constant hum of the harvest had stopped: the combines were in from the fields and the blowers were resting from drying the corn.
We ourselves spent the weekend finishing our winter preparations: organizing the barn, moving hay, filling the bird feeders, sweeping the patio and porches, running the lawnmower out of gas, draining and putting away the hoses, putting up driveway markers and the snow gauge, digging and storing tuberous begonias and dahlias for next year. I harvested the last of the carrots; we observed that anyone who had time to style a carrot for a photo shoot couldn't seriously complain of any real problems in life.
We had time even though the news told us the storm was coming. The farmers had time to finish the harvest. The weeks before, the harvest had been running behind schedule. Farming is always done in the tension between time and weather: will the corn mature before the first hard frost? How long can the corn dry in the field before the first snow? (Afterwards, it can be harvested, but with losses.) Once this storm was first forecast, midweek beforehand, the farmers were in the fields twenty-four hours a day, finishing the harvest.
Monday morning, the snow was less dire than predicted – the storm shifted 50 miles north of the projected path – but these early "gales of November" can be brutal. This storm came on November 10, the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. November 11 is the anniversary of the 1940 Armistice Day Blizzard, when the temperature dropped 50 degrees in a few hours and 145 people died.
We grumble about the lack of precision in the weather forecast, and about the abrupt end to our autumn. It's easy to lose sight of how much weather forecasting has improved, especially within our lifetimes, and how that saves lives and trouble. Weather satellites and elaborate computer models let us see, generally, what's coming, days in advance, and prepare – the gift of time.

5 Reasons of Why Teaching Life Skills in Schools is so CrucialBy Gaby Casanas, LMFT
(Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Life Coach for Children and Families, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Wellness Coach, CEO and Camp Director of Camp Unbeatables at Doral)
There is a need to create suitable and innovative mass programs for children that help to reduce the exponential increment of major problems in our youth, such as: obesity, drugs, bullying, anxiety, depression, suicide, school drop-outs, early pregnancy, sexually transmitted disorders, among others.
Schools, after school programs or children's extracurriculares activities are places where kids can benefit from an effective and professional program that offers them concrete tools to overcome their daily challenges, and increase their probabilities of success in their present and future lives.
Life Skills Training for children can help in 5 important ways:
It is important to realize that academic preparation is something that our kids can get anytime, but acquiring tools to deal with their daily challenges is something that the sooner they get them, the better results they will get in life!
- Life Skills Training helps kids to get in touch with their inner beings and understand their true power.
- Life Skills Training teaches kids in how to prioritize their values in such a technological and social media era.
- Life Skills Training orients kids on what their life purpose might be.
- Life Skills Training instructs kids in how to set goals to achieve the things they want in life.
- Life Skills Training assists parents, schools and the society by providing kids with effective tools to be successful in an increasingly complex society.
It is important to realize that academic preparation is something that our kids can get anytime, but acquiring tools to deal with their daily challenges is something that the sooner they get them, the better results they will get in life!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Due to the fact that control is generally easier on the ground than in a standing position, much of the technique of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is centered round the skill of taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for dominant control positions from where the opponent can be rendered harmless.
To control and overcome greater size, strength and aggression with lesser size and strength is the keynote of the sport. This is done by utilizing superior leverage, grip and position upon your opponent. Students of the sport gain a deep understanding of the workings and limits of the human body.

Step Up Doral at a glance
This guide describes the Step Up Doral challenge app.
How it works
The app tracks your steps from your smartphone or connected wearable and displays the sum of the steps of all the competitors on the dashboard.
There are different ways for step tracking and the options depend on the platform you're using.
Tracking your steps
There are several platforms that collect and store health data, and each stores it in their respective cloud. Step Up allows you to choose the platform you want to use to track your steps:
- if you're using an iPhone, you can track your steps using your iPhone or any Health connected wearable by selecting the Apple Health option. Note that you will have to give Step Up access to your health data either when prompted or by going into your settings and giving Step Up access to Health.
- if you're using a Google Fit connected device or wearable to track your steps, you can connect to your step data in Google Fit by selecting it. The Google Fit option can also be used with devices or wearables that store their data in Samsung Health by installing an app on your smartphone that transfers the step data from Samsung Health to Google Fit. You can find an app that does this function by searching for 'transfer health data' apps in the Google play store.
- if you're using a Fitbit wearable, you can choose the Fitbit option to have Step Up use that data for your step counts.
Note that if you change tracking methods, you will need to provide the credentials for the specific platform you selected (Apple Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit) so that Step Up can download your steps.

Hello I'm here on work experience at the Dirt office, my name is Tom Boase I'm 14 (going to be 15 on Sunday!!!), I will be blogging on here every day to tell you how its doing!
Day 1. left the house with what I thought was enough time, I'd measured the distance on a map, packed my bag and headed out. Everthing was going fine, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and then SPLAT! I had driven into a gateway that was 2 or 3 inches thick in sheep muck!!! I found my way out after 5 minutes of squelching around, so now im at the office smelling like a farm and looking like a farmer!

As a (freelance) teacher of Art and English, I'm always trying to think up new projects and ideas for lessons. Most of the time I try to take the lessons outside to parks, museums and galleries, where we can draw from observation and learn about art first-hand.
We also have some favourite classroom-based games, including:
– "What Am I?" (names of animals are drawn on numerous pieces of paper, each person sticks one to their forehead and tries to discover which it is by asking Yes/No questions like "Do I have hooves?")
– "Exquisite Corpse", aka "New Species" (each person draws part of a figure, then folds over the paper and passes it to the next person to complete)
– the self-explanatory "Keep-the-pencil-on-the-paper" and "No looking" drawings
– "Describe the picture" (one person picks a picture from an art book and describes it for the other person to draw)
On one of the rare occasions we weren't out and about on my last visit to Kyiv, I came up with this very simple mosaic-making project. Suitable for all ages (with varying degrees of assistance).
How to make a paper mosaic
– coloured card, cut into small squares (painting sheets yourself beforehand would add a fun extra part to the project, Matisse-style)
– glue stick
– plain paper for background (could be white or something more interesting)
– a work surface you don't mind getting messy
1. With the coloured squares gathered into piles around the edge, arrange your mosaic picture. It's easiest to start from the inside and work outwards.
2. Once you're happy with the image, completely cover your sheet of paper with glue, then carefully lay it glue-side-down onto the design before the glue dries.
3. Make sure all the squares are glued down by rubbing the back of the paper, then lift it off before it dries to the table.
4. Clean the table and admire your work!
This project was inspired by a visit to St Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, and the beautiful mosaics there. Incidently, Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire currently has an exhibition of Roman mosaics on until November, recommended by Aunty Penny.

I know it has been a while ago, but after being stunned by your wonderful version of "Alone" i hope there is going to be a recorded version some day.
Back to my message, i can't stop thinking of how super awesome it would be like if you did a cover of "girls just wanna have fun".
Your beautiful voice just fits right into that song

A strong thesis statement lets your reader – most likely, your teacher or professor – know immediately 1) what topic your paper will address and 2) your attitude toward the topic.
An effective thesis statement cannot be a mere statement of fact; a thesis must contain an argument of some sort.
In other words, the following is not a thesis statement, for it has no argument:
"Jack London's 'To Build a Fire' is a story about a man and a dog in the Alaskan wilderness during the winter."
Keep reading! Good thesis statements for papers on "To Build a Fire" are below.
The first section below discusses thesis statements (strong and weak) that my students wrote for a 500-word paper.
The second section discusses effective thesis statements that students wrote for a 1,000-word paper on "The Death of Ivan Ilych" by Leo Tolstoy.
500-word paper
This was the assignment (i.e., the prompt):
In the first half of your 500- to 600-word paper, discuss how the protagonist in Jack London's "To Build a Fire" lacks virtú. In the second half, discuss how the protagonist in Zora Neale Hurston's "Sweat" exhibits virtú.
(Professor's note: The word "virtú" comes from the Latin word meaning "strength." The word does not necessarily mean "physical strength"; it also might mean having "the right stuff" – in other words, "the ability to accomplish the mission.")
- The protagonist in "To Build a Fire," by Jack London, lacks virtú; by contrast, Delia, the protagonist in "Sweat," by Zora Neale Hurston, exhibits virtú. (This is a great thesis: It names the stories and the authors, and specifies which character lacks virtú and which one has this very important trait.)
- In the short story "To Build a Fire," the protagonist shows lack of virtú in many ways, while the protagonist in the short story "Sweat" exhibits virtú. (This is clear and concise, though the writer did not need to include "the short story.")
- In "Sweat," Delia shows a lot of virtú, while the man in "To Build a Fire" lacks virtú. (Clear and concise, though this thesis does not mention the author of either story.)
- In the stories, one character exhibits virtú, but the one in the other story does not. (You need to specify which character exhibits virtú, as well as name each story. If the character lacks a name, as in "To Build a Fire," call him or her "the protagonist.")
- After reading the two stories, we can see that one character has virtú, though the other does not. (Which character, in which story, has virtú? Which character, in which story, does not?)
- Authors, in many instances, reveal whether their main character has virtú. (This statement is true, but it does not refer to either character in either story.)
1,000-word paper
These are three of the best thesis statements. Students wrote about the lessons that Tolstoy's novel teaches us. Note the use of double and single quotation marks.
The most-specific (and best) version:
"'The Death of Ivan Ilych' by Leo Tolstoy teaches a variety of lessons about human nature, appreciating life, and how people handle grief."
The simpler-but-slightly-more-specific (second-best) version:
"Leo Tolstoy's 'The Death of Ivan Ilych' provides multiple insights into human nature through the attitudes of Ivan and other main characters."
The simplest (not great, but acceptable) version:
"Leo Tolstoy's 'The Death of Ivan Ilych' provides insights into human nature."

ERIE, Pa. – The Adrian College men's volleyball team dropped the first match of the Penn State-Behrend triangular to PSU-Behrend in three sets on Saturday, Feb. 9. It was the Bulldogs' first match since sweeping Olivet on Tuesday, Jan. 29.
Final Score: Penn State-Behrend 3, Adrian 0 (25-20, 25-21, 25-17)
Location: Erie, Pa. (Junker Center)
Records: AC 5-4, PSB 4-3
The first set was close until the very end of the set. The largest lead of the set was only three points for Penn State-Behrend until it won the last three points of the set to take the set 25-20. The Lions outhit the Bulldogs .297 to .133, which would be a recurring theme in the match.
Both teams hit their worst in the second set, with AC connecting at a .029 rate and PSB hitting .243. That difference would prove key for the Lions, taking the second set over the Black and Gold 25-21. Penn State-Behrend led the whole way and held off a late-set Adrian comeback to put itself one set away from victory.
The Lions would get the final set they needed in the third set, hitting an impressive .433 as a team in the final set. It was also the set with the largest score differential as PSB took an early lead and didn't look back on the way to a 25-17 set victory to secure the match.
• Senior Michael Burkhardt led the team in kills with nine, while junior Noah Marcinkowski and freshman Tedrick Gula each added seven.
• Junior Joseph Campana accounted for 28 of Adrian's 29 assists in the match.
• Gula and junior Kevin Curley led the defense with 10 and nine digs, respectively. Burkhardt picked up two solo blocks to lead AC's net defense.
• Dillon Hildebrand led Penn State-Behrend's offense with 19 kills. He was the only player on either team with double digit kills.
• Anthony Sprentz totaled 35 assists for the Lions.
• Robert McMaster led PSB's defense with 12 digs, with Tyler Herrmann and Sprentz each adding nine.
The Bulldogs play in game two of the Penn State-Behrend triangular later today against St. John Fisher. First serve is scheduled for 1 p.m.

University of Hawaii researchers are reporting that tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton can be affected by global warming, according to a study published recently in Nature magazine.
The increase in ocean temperature produced by global warming causes less dense warm water at the surface to rise and limits the mixing with the colder water found deeper in the ocean. The analysis suggests that reduced vertical mixing could cause the deep water layers of phytoplankton to oscillate and shift, the University of Hawaii reported in a news release.
The discovery that the layers of phytoplankton are unstable during climate shifts indicates that the plankton can inspire further warming, the news release continued. The results could come as a surprise to scientists who had generally assumed that these plankton bands were relatively stable.
The study was conducted by microbial biologist and oceanographer David Karl from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, along with colleagues from the Netherlands. They used climate models to correlate with observations at Station Aloha, a site about 62 miles north of Hawaii where physical, biological and chemical measurements of the water column have been taken for the past 20 years.
"Deep chlorophyll layers have been known to occur in the sea for nearly a century, though we are not absolutely certain why they form, what sustains them and what temporal dynamics, if any, they have," Karl said.
"The lack of vertical mixing in the ocean due to climate variability and greenhouse gas-induced warming are already upon us," Karl continued. "We are effectively in the middle of a large, global-scale experiment with only a very basic and incomplete understanding of the processes and controls of ocean plankton dynamics. What will happen when the surface ocean changes its acidity? What will happen when human activities and land use practices begin to influence the amount of fixed nitrogen entering the coastal zone or the amount of iron-rich dust in the atmosphere? These are important, unresolved questions that will need to be addressed."

Get spring & summer ready with EMSCULPT! This non-invasive procedure offers no surgery & no downtime!
I have used Dr. Madfes for over 10 years. She is the sweetest, kindest human being! She is also very honest and won't tell you need something done just to make money. People think I am 10 years younger than I am because of her handiwork. Her staff is wonderful, too. Thank you, Dr. Madfes.
Sometimes you get lucky and find a dr. who really is up on her game, is not into the fads, will steer you away from things that aren't proven, and work wonders. Dr Madfes is very crafty with her needle and laser treatments making me look better and better with every passing year.
BEYOND WONDERFUL! Had been struggling for many years with skin problems. She is the ONLY Dr. who has had success with fixing these problems. I am grateful for her practice and the wonderful ladies who work in her office.
A wonderful and gifted cosmetic dermatologist. I trust her as she is open, honest and not one to get into every fad procedure. I've never looked better and I owe that to her amazing skill as a physician. No surprises with her work. Flawless in every way!! 5 stars always!
I am from Dallas and fly to Manhattan JUST to see this doctor. If you could make a composite of all the good points of all the doctors you've met in your life – honesty regarding whether you need a certain treatment or not, incredibly caring and gentle, LISTENS, knowledge that remains extremely current (yet not trendy), you would have Dr. Madfes. I love her!

China Steel Corp (中鋼), the nation's only integrated steelmaker, yesterday said pretax profit increased 17 percent to NT$1.83 billion (US$61.17 million) last month from June on a consolidated basis, thanks to no inventory losses booked in the month.
The company booked inventory losses in June after it lowered prices for its July and August domestic shipments, the company's financial department vice president, Lin Chung-yi (林中義), said by telephone.
"We did not have such losses last month," he said.
China Steel did not provide a year-earlier consolidated figure for comparison. However, Lin said the profit margin last month was higher than a year ago, because of lower raw material costs.
The company's consolidated revenue reached NT$29.45 billion last month, up 14 percent month-on-month, but down 4.08 percent year-on-year, according to a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
In the first seven months of the year, cumulated revenue totaled NT$202.6 billion, down 8.45 percent from a year earlier, the filing showed.
Steve Lee (李慶超), another vice president at China Steel, said the outlook for this quarter is still mixed, in that sales volume is higher than expected, but steel prices are lower than a quarter ago.
China Steel sold 767,788 tonnes of steel last month, up 4.3 percent from 736,089 tonnes a month ago. The company is set to announce its steel prices for October and November contracts on Aug. 30.
With a more drastic decline in steel prices than in coal prices, SinoPac Securities Investment Service Co (永豐投顧) yesterday predicted that the company would raise prices by US$10 per tonne on average because steel companies around the world are still keeping their prices high and demand is likely to pick up in the fourth quarter.
The company is forecast to post revenue of NT$82.3 billion and profit of NT$2.47 billion this quarter, down 28 percent and 41 percent from a quarter ago respectively, SinoPac said in a note.
China Steel's shares declined 1.2 percent to NT$24.7 yesterday, underperforming the TAIEX, which was down 0.65 percent.

Friday was a proud day for me, the wooden spoon was passed from the previous holder, Mr Simon Englefield (Kenyan Director) to myself. This award was given to me for "Consistant Silliness" I'm proud to be bringing this award back to the UK and would like to thank all of the UK and Kenya staff without whose help and support this would not have been possible. I would like to take this opportunity though to say that while quite they're pretty I just don't get what it is with these Mac's, they seem to crash just as much as PCs and don't have that other button on the mouse so its impossible to find anything

Ben Barres, a neuroscientist who did groundbreaking work on brain cells known as glia and their possible relation to diseases like Parkinson's, and who was an outspoken advocate of equal opportunity for women in the sciences, died on Wednesday at his home in Palo Alto, Calif. He was 63.
In announcing the death, Stanford University, where Dr. Barres was a professor, said he had had pancreatic cancer.
Dr. Barres was transgender, having transitioned from female to male in 1997, when he was in his 40s and well into his career. That gave him a distinctive outlook on the difficulties that women and members of minorities face in academia, and especially in the sciences. An article he wrote for the journal Nature in 2006 titled "Does Gender Matter?" took on some prominent scholars who had argued that women were not advancing in the sciences because of innate differences in their aptitude.
"I am suspicious when those who are at an advantage proclaim that a disadvantaged group of people is innately less able," he wrote. "Historically, claims that disadvantaged groups are innately inferior have been based on junk science and intolerance."
The article cited studies documenting obstacles facing women, but it also drew on Dr. Barres's personal experiences. He recounted dismissive treatment he had received when he was a woman and how that had changed when he became a man.
"By far," he wrote, "the main difference that I have noticed is that people who don't know I am transgendered treat me with much more respect: I can even complete a whole sentence without being interrupted by a man."
Dr. Barres (pronounced BARE-ess) was born on Sept. 13, 1954, in West Orange, N.J., with the given name Barbara.
"I knew from a very young age — 5 or 6 — that I wanted to be a scientist, that there was something fun about it and I would enjoy doing it," he told The New York Times in 2006. "I decided I would go to M.I.T. when I was 12 or 13."
Barbara did indeed go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a scholarship, graduating in 1976 with a degree in life science, then moving on to Dartmouth Medical School and receiving an M.D. there in 1979.
Dr. Barres became interested in the degeneration of brain function during an internship and residency at Weill Cornell Medical College and returned to school to study it, this time at Harvard Medical School, receiving a Ph.D. in neurobiology there in 1990.
A postdoctoral fellowship took Dr. Barres to University College London and the lab of Dr. Martin Raff, who was studying glia, the cells in the human brain that are not nerve cells. Dr. Barres went to Stanford in 1993, taking his interest in glia with him. In 2008 he became chairman of the neurobiology department.
"Ben pioneered the idea that glia play a central role in sculpting the wiring diagram of our brain and are integral for maintaining circuit function throughout our lives," said Thomas Clandinin, a professor of neurobiology at Stanford who assumed the chairmanship in April 2016 when Dr. Barres's cancer was diagnosed. "People had thought glia were mere passive participants in maintaining neural function. Ben's own work and that of his trainees transformed this view entirely."
Dr. Barres and researchers working with him studied the three types of glial cells and their role in proper neonatal brain development, as well as the possibility that inflamed glia are a cause of neurodegenerative disorders. Stanford said Dr. Barres published 167 peer-reviewed papers in his career.
To many, though, just as important as his research was his willingness to speak out on sexism and related issues. He called for more day-care support for women in the sciences who also wanted families. He criticized tenure systems that seemed weighted against women. He was furious at male colleagues who bragged about having sex with their female students.
But he also faulted women for being part of some of these problems — particularly women who succeeded despite the obstacles and then acted to protect their hard-won turf.
"Accomplished women who manage to make it to the top may 'pull up the ladder behind them,' " he wrote in the Nature article, "perversely believing that if other women are less successful, then one's own success seems even greater."
His objections to the innate-differences arguments brought him criticism, with some arguing that he was trying to stifle unfashionable ideas in a way contrary to the academic tradition of open discussion. He disagreed sharply.
"When faculty tell their students that they are innately inferior based on race, religion, gender or sexual orientation," he wrote, "they are crossing a line that should not be crossed — the line that divides free speech from verbal violence."
He did not disagree that there are differences between male and female brains, but did object to the interpretation.
"People are still arguing over whether there are cognitive differences between men and women," he told The Times. "If they exist, it's not clear they are innate, and if they are innate, it's not clear they are relevant."
Or, as he put it in a 2015 letter to The Times prompted by an article about Caitlyn Jenner, "The question is not whether male or female brains are different, but why society insists on labeling male brains as better."
He is survived by a brother, Donald, and two sisters, Jeanne and Peggy.
To convey that the playing field is often not level for women pursuing careers in math and science, Dr. Barres would sometimes recount an incident from his college days, when he was still Barbara.
"An M.I.T. professor accused me of cheating on this test," he told The Times. "I was the only one in the class who solved a particular problem, and he said my boyfriend must have solved it for me. One, I did not have a boyfriend. And two, I solved it myself, goddamn it!"

Summary: Jericho
Joshua 6 v 1- 21
1. The Challenge 1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. Intro:
Jericho was surrounded by 2 massive stone walls. The outer wall was 6 feet thick and 20 feet high. The inner wall was 12 feet thick and 30 feet high. There was a 15 foot guarded walkway between these two walls. From a military standpoint, it was practically impenetrable.
(b) Their Defiance Jericho was straitly shut up
(c) Their Determination none went out, and none came in
2. The Charter 2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
(a) The Source Of Victory See, I have given into thine hand Jericho
(b) The Scope Of Victory Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
(c) The Subject Of Victory See, I have given into thine hand
(d) The Surety Of Victory And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given (Past Tense)
3. The Choice 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
They Could Either :-
(a) Obey Or Disobey
(b) Trust Or Transgress
(c) Fight Or Flee
(d) Stand Or Stagnate
4. The Characterization 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
They Enjoyed :-
(a) The Presence Of God And seven priests shall bear before the ark
(b) The Power Of God seven trumpets of rams' horns (sounded in battle)
1. AT MOUNT SINAI.

ON THE ALMIGHTY'S SABBATHS Lev:23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation 3. AT THE DESTRUCTION OF JERICHO 4.

Traditionally the cities were constructed at the rivers and had water channels, from which were running aryks (small channels) involving the entire area of the city. If it was possible the wells with drinking-water were constructed. For storage of the water and for urban design in cities and villages were installed the uncovered reservoirs - hauzes. Special covered water reservoirs - sardobas were built along the caravan roads to supply travelers and animals with the water. The most ancient and largest sardobas have been preserved in the Bukhara oasis - a big cultural, trading and craft center on the Great Silk Road.
The center of the oasis is Bukhara - one of the most ancient cities of Central Asia having 2500 - year long history. From ancient times, Bukhara consisted of three parts: fortresses with a residence of the governor; shahristan - an ancient nucleus of the city located westward from the fortress and suburbs - rabads surrounding them, which were fortified with walls. In the 16th century the layout of the city has acquired an oval contour (with a ledge in the southwest) and was fenced with a strong adobe wall of 12 km in length with 12 gates. Up to the beginning of the 20th century, the historical part of Bukhara was kept unchanged. To the south of shahristan, on a line from the east to the west, the city was crossed by Shahruh's channel flowing out of the Zerafshan river and being the major water source of Bukhara.
Numerous hauzes, which were installed almost in each quarter and within a number of architectural ensembles, gave up extraordinary beauty and charm to the architecture of Bukhara. Surrounded by trees, the hauzes created the comfortable and cool atmosphere with especial microclimate, turning in the places serving for the public rest with tearooms and snack bars.
For construction of hauzes, the builders used special methods which have been experienced and tested for of practice and could provided earthquake protection of structures, uniform ground compaction ground and waterproofing of the reservoir. Construction types (basically in aspect of the facing) of hauzes in Central Asia were wooden, wood - brick and stone. We should note, that 60% of hauzes in Bukhara (58 of 96 hauzes preserved by the beginning of the 20th c.) were made of stone - local natural sandstone or limestone (1, c. 171).
To construct a reservoir, at first, was dug a pit that was 1 - 1.5 m wider and deeper against the planned size; it was filled up with water for ground compaction. Then, 10 - 12 cm thick layer of crushed stone was put on the bottom and flooded with waterproofing solution - "kyr" that was used from ancient times in hydro architecture and water constructions in Central Asia. It contained ashes of local types of bushes and cane. For obtaining of a waterproof bottom, 8 - 10 of such layers were stacked. The bottom was stacked with a brick put on its side. A height of a step - 30 - 35 cm. Space between a stone wall and a ground was filled with gravel and kyr. To connect walls of the hauz with the ground, on perimeter of each layer, a ring of wooden bars (20x20 cm in section) with radially running wooden cores - anchors was erected.
Hauzes of Bukhara had the rectangular or square, sometimes hexagonal, form with cut off corners. Water was supplied by aryks or "tazars" (channels roofed with brick), branched off from the Shahruh's channel. Special decorative forms were given to stone weirs. They were often decorated with carvings (the Arabian inscriptions, vegetative and zoomorphic ornaments), sometimes they stylized a mouth of a lion or dragon, for example, a weir dated back to 1913 at Khodja Zain ad-Din's hauz of the 16th c.
Hauzes served not only as water reservoirs with trees and shrubs planted around, giving attractive cool and comfort in summer heat, but also as a compositional nucleus of that architectural environs which they were part of.
Hauzes in a structure of the city ensembles. Rarely used in Central Asia and the only in Bukhara, was Gaukushon, an ensemble with frontal composition dated from the 16th c. Gaukushon medreseh and Khodja Kalon mosque with a minaret Gaukushon are located on one side of the square with hauz and face the square with their facades frontally.
In Bukhara more widespread was the "kosh" ensemble where two buildings located on the sides of the street faced each other by facades. (kosh - medreseh of Abdullakhan - Modarikhan, Ulugbeg - Abdulazizkhan). Sometimes in kosh ensemble between two oppositely staying buildings a hauz was located. Such are comfortable and shady ensembles of Goziyon of the 16th c. and Hauzi - Nau of the 17th c.
The composition of an ensemble with tripartite planning was basic in planning of the grand city squares of Samarkand (Registan, the 15th - 17th cc.) and Bukhara (Poi Minor, the 15th - the beginning of the 20th cc). However, in less official and grandiose ensembles of Bukhara having tripartite composition, on a square were constructed hauzes surrounded with trees. The most beautiful in Bukhara is the Ensemble of Lyabi - Hauz, the 16th - 17th cc., where from three sides of the square with a huge stone water reservoir, were placed Kukeldash medreseh, khanaka and medreseh of Nadir Divan - Beghi. Hauz, included into the ensemble of Nadir Divan - Beghi was the largest not only in Bukhara, but, perhaps, in all Central Asia. With its sizes of 36х46 m and depth of 5 m, it could contain almost 4,320 cubic meters of water. (1, c.178)
The Goziyan ensemble of the 17th c. had the same structure, where the former kosh ensemble, by adding of the third building (kkhanaka), was transformed into ensemble with tripartite planning of the square and hauz.
Hauzes in the structure of the quarter centers. The architecture of dwelling quarters with a dominant beaten cob structures was vivified with public centers where nearby saint places or around the reservoirs - hauzes were located quarter mosque, school - maktab and sometimes medreseh and khanaka. Markets, shops and bathhouses also were located nearby the centers. Such was, for example, not preserved center of Mir - Dustum quarter, which included Khanaka-yi lyabi hauzi Mir - Dustum with a minaret, big stone hauz Dust - chiroq okosi, a market of diary and others. (2, c.154).
Some quarter centers represented actually religious center where a wide yard having along its perimeter the premises of a school, bathhouse, taharatkhana (a place for ritual ablution); tovut-khana (a place for storage of a funeral stretcher) and others adjoined to a quarter mosque (sometimes it combined functions of kkhanaka),. In this case hauz was placed within the yard of the mosque, and shops - nearby, but outside the yard of the mosque. The brightest example of such planning - is the center of the Khodja Zain ad-Din's quarter, where a yard with different buildings on the perimeter and hauz adjoined to a monumental and majestic mosque - khanaka of the 16th c. It was rather large - 36x26 m. in size (the second in size in Bukhara) stone hauz of the 16th c. Specific configuration of a site caused atypical location of a reservoir not in the center of the yard, but along its northeast side.
Hauzes in a structure of memorial-cult complexes arose at the tombs of saint men (often they were the Sufis). In a course of time for adherents of the saint's ideas and pilgrims visiting this tomb, stage by stage, during centuries a complex of structures in a form of closed or open composition around a yard was being formed. Quite often in one - yard memorial complexes, in a courtyard was established hauz (Saif ad - Din Boharzi). In multi - yard memorial complexes (Baha - ad - Din, Hazrati - Imam) as well as in complex-compounded complexes (Chor - Bakr) - two or three hauzes could be built. Some such necropolises were surrounded with gardens having water reservoirs in (Baha - ad - Din) and, sometimes with graceful arbors for relaxation. For example, a pool and "porceilon" pavilion, erected in the middle of a garden in Chor - Bakr complex.(3, c.69)
Pools in landscape gardening. According to Narshahi and Kubavi, in Bukhara planned and landscaped gardens and parks existed already in the 10th - 12th cc. (4, p.37).
By the Temurid epoch, certain canons in landscaping of a garden - charbag have been already worked out, and in 1515 - 1516 they were stated in Herat in the treatise "Irshad-az Zir'a" devoted to patron - builder - Alisher Navoi. (5, p.152). According to the recommendations given in the treatise, in the rectangular garden surrounded with a wall with correct orientation on cardinal four directions should be pointed two axes - alleys with a channel where on a cross point of axes a water reservoir was installed. On a main axis stretching from an entrance portal into the depth of a garden, was placed a dwelling building that was a major high and monumental dominant of charbag. Before the building was installed a paved yard - "peshgokh" to which the mentioned water reservoir adjoined. Aryk (a small channel) and a line of poplars surrounded the garden on its perimeter. Each of two quarters of the garden was divided in its own turn into another four parts, forming so - called "charchaman". According to the recommendations, rest of the site was planted with the certain sorts of fruit and decorative trees and flowers. Thus, the paradise garden was created.
One of early such gardens of Bukhara of the 16th c. was created by Mirak Sa'id Giyas - expert in agronomy and art of garden landscaping from Khorasan. According to canons, this charbag as well as by nowadays lost gardens of Bukhara of the 16th c.: Pir-i marza; Abdullakhan (1587); charbags of Hakim-oyim and Ubaidullakhan of the early 18th c. (analogous with Amir temur's gardens in Samarkand, the late 14th c.) had channels and water reservoirs.
Sardoba represented a cylindrical reservoir covered with a dome for water to where a small ladder within a corridor led through a small portal,. These water basins were erected along caravan roads, at rabats or caravanserais and occasionally in cities. The reservoir was filled usually with thawed and rain waters, sometimes water was also supplied from the nearest water source by aryks or underground channels "kiryaz" (the ceramic pipeline), and also ground water.
Genesis and development of sardoba architecture, most likely, is connected with experience of use in conditions of desert of natural cavities where water flew down. It has prompted the construction of artificial rain ditches with some simple structures, which further have resulted in architecture of sardoba, which exists nowadays. (6, p.35). Therefore for collection of thawed and rain water flowing naturally through special inlet apertures in the basis of a dome, these reservoirs were constructed in places with the lowered relief.
Sardobas were erected from ancient times, anyway they are known from the period of antiquity (the 1st c. BC - in the settlement of Dilberdjin near Balkh). (7, p.30).
In the Bukhara oasis, besides above described typical sardobas, complicated in architecture sardobas, supplied for the rest of travelers by a circular platform - loggia around the tank (Rabati - Malik etc.), or with adjoining premises with entrances outside (sardoba in Karaulbazar).
For protection from infiltration of water from the tank into the ground, hydro proofing solution - kyr was used for its laying and especially for plastering of its internal surface. Sardoba was roofed with a dome which had smooth spherical form inside and stepped - outside that reflected reduction of its thickness (thickness of a dome at the basis might be up to 1.8 - 1.1 m., in zenith not less than 35 - 40 cm). Frequently, a territory around sardoba was fenced to keep it clean and out of animals reaching.
The largest, most ancient and significant of sardobas in the Bukhara oasis is a sardoba of the 11th - 12th cc. at Caravanserai of Rabati-Malik located in the middle of the road from Bukhara to Samarkand. Besides thawed snow and rain water, sardoba was supplied by kiryaz from the the Zerafshan river. Sardoba inside had a circular platform around of the tank and was roofed by a large dome (with inner diameter of 17.5 m and outer diameter of 21.1 m.) with thick walls (thickness at basis - 1.8 m) (8, p. 1).
Rather active construction and restoration of sardobas in the Bukhara oasis were in the 16th - 17th cc. The most remarkable of them were three structures - in Karaulbazar, Buzachi and Koshsardoba, located on the road from Bukhara to Karshi and filled by the water which was supplied by aryks from the Kashkadarya river. (6, p.26 - 27). Larger of them - sardoba in Karaulbazar (with diameter of the tank - 15.8 m, depth - 8.1 m and height of a dome - 6.35 m) had small rooms for the serving personnel above an entrance corridor.
Sardoba of Buzachi consisted of two - the bigger and smaller domed tanks, located 50 - 60 m from each other (diameter of the larger tank was 12 m, depth - 6 m) and enclosed with earthwork. Both tanks were linked by a channel with cross section of 1.5 m. Probably, the smaller, nowadays lost, tank served for purposes of upholding the river water, before it was submitted into the larger one.
Koshsardoba (lost nowadays), also had two domed tanks: the bigger and smaller one located two meters one from another. Diameter of the larger tank was about 15 m.
Typical in architecture were one - dome sardobas of Akkan, Shahsuvar and Charcha, which were supplied by rain and thawed snow water and located in the Bukhara oasis on the road from Bukhara to Burdalyk. (6, p.26-27).
City sardobas. In the city of Bukhara were built four one - dome sardobas, typical in their architecture,. They were basically supplied by ground waters and were roofed with a heavy flat spherical dome with a large light lantern in its zenith. Those are sardobas: in a yard of medical medresseh of Doru - Shifo (1682), constructed under the order of Subkhankuli - khan), in a court yard of a Sufi complex of Halif Hudoydot (the 18th c. with diameter of a dome of 13.4 m.), on Ishan - Imlo cemetery (insufficiently studied) and on the Jewish cemetery (with internal diameter of a dome - 7.3 m, with a circular platform around of the tank).
Thus, the engineers of the Bukhara school of architecture in the 9th - 19th constructed most monumental and largest in Central Asia mainly stone hauzes; from the 17th c. comfortable city ensembles with tripartite planning of the square with hauz; park - garden ensembles with aryks, channels and reservoirs were planned according to the ancient canons of the charbag garden - park, which were improved and developed in cooperation with the experts from Khorasan; sometimes sardobas were constructed with a roundabout platform or rooms for habitation and rest, some sardobas, filled with river water, consisted of two nearby located domed reservoirs.

The tools hackers commonly use after penetrating a network often do not involve malware, according to a new report.
Although malware is often used to gain access to a network, 99 percent of post-intrusion cyberattack activities used standard networking and IT administrative tools – not malware, according to LightCyber's 2016 Cyber Weapons Report, released June 29. More than 70 percent of active malware detected was found only on a single site, indicating that "attackers create target-specific variants to completely bypass signature-based prevention," according to the report.
"The new Cyber Weapons Report uniquely reveals that malware is not the mechanism that network attackers use once they circumvent preventative security and compromise a network," Jason Matlof, executive vice president at LightCyber, said. "Despite these increasingly well understood realities, our industry still has an unshakable obsession with malware. With the increasing incidence of successful data breaches and theft of company secrets, it's clear that the conventional malware-focused security infrastructure is insufficient, and we must develop new techniques to find active attackers using their operational activities."
Angry IP Scanner and PingInfoView top the list of the 10 most popular networking and hacking tools that the report found. Others include Nmap, Ping, Mimikatz, NCrack, Perl and Windows Credential Editor.
In 29 percent of all incidents, SecureCRT, a SecureShell and Telnet client were the most common administrative tools used in attacks the report studied. The most popular remote desktop tool was TeamViewer, a cloud-based or locally hosted remote desktop and web conferencing product, which accounted for 37percent of all incidents in the study. Trojan/Gen:Variant.Graftor was the most common malware variant used at 35 percent.
"Attackers don't just rely on malware, riskware and other 'attack tools' to do their dirty work," the report stated. "They also leverage ubiquitous apps like web browsers and native OS tools to carry out attacks. In fact, web browsers like Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox accounted for a sizeable amount of command and control activity. By installing malicious plugins and toolbars, attackers can leverage these seemingly innocuous apps to communicate with command and control servers."
What's more, the study found that the most pervasive type of threat is reconnaissance at 51 percent, followed by lateral movement (20 percent) and command and control (18 percent). During reconnaissance, hackers map out network resources looking for attack vectors that custom cyber threats can exploit, the report states.
Meta data for the report came from LightCyber's global customers using its Magna Behavioral Attach Detection platform and encompasses attack activity detected across hundreds of thousands of endpoints worldwide from more than 60 unique sites during a six-month period ending in June 2016.

I love to camp and I love the beach!!!! After our trip to California we will be coming back and leaving a few short days later for camping, which makes me so excited! I love everything about it!!! We live in MI and are fortunate enough to be able to camp near one of the great lakes so I get to do 2 things I love at once..we spend the days at the beach and mornings and evenings at our campsite.
Since my husband and I have been married we have camped even with babies(and can I say we had 4 children by the time we were married 3 years and 8 months) and in our almost ten years of camping with children we have always had the most fun time.
I want to share some tips with you to make your camping experience as fun as ours!
Keep it Simple!!! As I talk about camping with children this is the #1 thing to remember...Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!!!
Try to stick with your at home schedule as much as possible..yes you are going to have some late nights camping, but if your children take naps at home then you need to make time for them when you are camping too!
Since the first 2 are obvious at least to me the 3rd one is a little more ingenuitve. I have a camping shelf, now you could use a bin kor whatever works for you. This shelf/bin is used all year to collect clothes. Clothes with stains that won't come out, pants with holes in the knees, clothes that are just plain worn out....it is these clothes I use when I pack to go camping. I cut pants into cutoffs and I make as many outfits as I can for them to take camping. This way I don't worry about them getting dirty...if my children want to tromp down a muddy creek go for it, if they want to draw with stick sin the dirt they can....becasue guess what I don't care if their clothes get dirty or not. It takes a lot of stress off when you don't care about whether they are getting dirty or not, and this might sound horrible those clothes never come home with me. They happily make there way to the dumpster and guess what that means no laundry when you get home except towels and bathing suits and your clothes becasue typically I don't have very many clothes ont he camping shelf. I don't even wash the sleeping bags I do that before we go camping so I can sleep in freshly cleaned sleeping bag not stored for the better part of the year sleeping bag.
Tomorrow's Tip is going to be about Meals!!!

Camping with Kids- TIP 1, 2, and 3
1 comment:
We just got back from a family camping trip. We had a blast, but I find it so difficult to tent camp with a 2 1/2 year old and an 11 month old. We're in close quarters, so if one wakes up crying at night, so do the rest of us. Plus it rained the last night we were there and had a leaky tent, so everything got wet. But, even so, camping is such a fun experience for kids. Thanks for the great tip about the clothes. Looking forward to hearing your other tips!ReplyDelete

When the owner of this beautiful cream 40 Birkin, said she wanted a Casablanca inspired theme on her bag with perhaps Mickey and Minnie, or Roger Rabbit and Jessica, i leapt at the chance to go for Mr and Mrs Rabbit! This was one of my favourite films when i was younger and it remains forever a classic. The cartoon itself is a parody, on the surface a fun bumbling cartoon, but for adults it has layer upon layer of irony, homing in on every type of film noir stereotype ever created from vintage Hollywood cinema: the damsel in distress, the evil villain, the love sick male, the tough nut cop with a soft spot for damsels, all loaded with classic film quote after quote. This cartoon in itself addresses gender stereotype in history, and what better than for me to add another layer to it by taking the damsel in distress and love sick leading role and plonk them into another film classic, Casablanca, that does exactly the same formula…. A double whammy love story that follows the classic formula stereotyping. But also, for me, this bag is just a pure pleasure to paint, for Jessica Rabbit was a character that i idealised.
