I do not know what I'd performed incorrect, but Mistress was certainly in a foul mood. I stood naked in a corner, while she gradually walked through the cloakroom and gently pointed to those items on the racks that I was estimated to gather and to utilize to myself without further wait or protest. First, she pointed at a black Latex mask with really small Live Sex Camara freezer slits for the eyes and an extensive opening for nose, mouth and chin. Next, she pointed at a red pose collar manufactured from heavy heavy leather. Then she pointed towards my least favorite device. It had been a tiny plastic chastity cock cage that has been pre-wired for electro activation at the sides and the underside and which also included a long conductive rubber dilator. Finally she directed towards the major leather cuffs for all four Free Sex Cam of my ankles. I bowed my check out Mistress to indicate that I had recognized and easily grabbed the items from the shelf.
Mistress moved straight back from the rack and examined her work. Without uttering a phrase, she turned and remaining the space for a quick moment. When she went back I really could see in the place of my eye that she moved anything like a plastic package and some bright object. She located both things
on the rack between my legs. Then she remaining the space again, but now I straight away recognized the item that she brought back by the noise. Mistress pulled her favorite armchair in to the room and towards the rack. This armchair appeared to be a tiny wooden throne. Once she'd reached the edge of the rack, she acquired the seat and put it onto the surface of the rack. The feet of the chair fit proper Live Webcam Girls beside my armpits and my hips. I was framed such as a picture. Now that the throne was in position, I understood what Mistress was preparing to do if you ask me that day. If she remaining the throne in this location then she'd be able to use my experience as her footstool. That was a principle that absolutely excited me. I loved Mistress's tiny feet. I realized that she took added proper care of these past Free Adult Chat Sex to your appointments. Just the notion of them produced my wang swell which was very uncomfortable due to the small dick cage. I immediately focused on later, when I'd preferably be allowed to scent and lick her legs!? Being unsure of her complete masterplan, I possibly expected that the crate had been gone by then. But, as it proved, the tiny cage was not likely to be my biggest problem...
What happened next was outside my slim field


text: I repost this only in that I feel that this is an important topic. I cannot say that I agree or support the direct Greg is heading. I suspect that he will probably be disappointed that I cannot in good conscience recognize him as Gina or refer to him as her. These are things I cannot view as interchangeable nor can I view such changing such words to be right. That said, I still consider Greg a friend and hope that he will remain as such, despite my disagreement. Please read, though I urge you to make your comments directly to his blog and not my repost. I feel such discussion would be better served at the source rather than the relay.

The Most Effective Learning EnvironmentAssume that you are about to embark as a new K-12 teacher or a higher education faculty (in any discipline), or as a community-based health educator. Based on what you have learned throughout this term, which learning theories would you consider using to create an effective learning environment for all of your students regardless of their unique learning styles and individual needs?
Psychosocial Development Case Study Assessment
Psychosocial Development Case Study Assessment
The purpose of this assignment is to use what you have learned about lifespan theories, models of resilience, and psychosocial development to assess how well individuals and families are functioning in relation to all three of these areas. To address realistic situations without violating personal rights to privacy, you will use the movie you selected to provide a case scenario.
If you have not yet viewed the movie selected in Unit 5, you need to do so to complete this assignment. Each movie represents characters in multiple life stages. Choose one movie and identify three characters. Each character should be moving through a different life stage from school age through middle adulthood, for a minimum of three different life stages. As you study each character, focus on details that will make your analysis applicable to your specialization.
For this assignment, imagine you are a counselor working with each of these three characters. Now, conduct the following analysis for each character:
Identify the life stage he or she is in, along with the psychological crisis each is experiencing.
Apply psychosocial developmental theory to the situation presented, from the perspective of a counselor:
Conceptualize your ideas for the developmental tasks of each character selected, grounding your conceptualization in your own area of specialization.
Include a discussion of the character's life and factors that might affect behaviors, including cultural and other influences related to the stage of development assessed. To the extent that it is relevant for each character, include an analysis of interrelationships among work, family, and other life roles. Include an analysis of the impact of cultural influences, as well. Refer to specific actions and words of the characters in the movie as evidence for your analysis.
Support your ideas with specific lifespan theories discussed in this course, citing and referencing your sources.
From a clinical perspective, assess how these three characters function as a family unit:
Examine their functioning in relation to a model of resilience appropriate to your specialization, and evaluate their challenges and strengths related to wellness and resilience. As each character transitions to his or her next developmental stage, how will the transition impact the functioning of the family unit?
Support your ideas with appropriate sources on the model of resilience you chose.
Use the document Unit 8 Assignment Template (given in the resources) to prepare and submit your report. Do not include a synopsis of the movie in your paper. Instead, follow the template. Focus on the three selected characters, and the realities of their functioning as a family unit and transitioning within the family unit, as described in the template. Then, provide your assessment of how well they are functioning in relation to your choice of a model of wellness and resilience, as described in the template. Your summary, at the end of the template, should provide a brief, focused review of the key insights in your assessment.

HDS101 Summative Assessment Task 2: Information Handout for Workplaces
Weighting = 20% (Due week 5).
Word limit: 800 words.
Task Description
Within your team you will investigate one industry context (healthcare, sport and recreation, education, entertainment, transport, or retail). You will then individually create an information handout on: "making your workplace accessible for someone with a hearing impairment".

It should also provide a brief description of hearing loss and the factors impacting on communication for people with hearing impairment, as well as strategies for communication access tailored to the specific workplace context. You can chose whether you would like to address the issues of workplace inclusion for employees (e.g. service staff), or service users (e.g. customers/ students/patients). While research collaboration is encouraged, your final submitted assignment must be your own individual work (no joint submissions or identical material).
Assessment Criteria
In this task you will be assessed on your ability to:

- Topic:
- The Tipping Point (Gladwell, M.); Book/Movie Review
- Type of paper:
- Book/movie review
- Discipline:
- Psychology and Education
- Format or citation style:
- Paper instructions:
- Read the book "The Tipping Point" and answer ALL of the following questions.
A 8 to 12 page paper on the book The Tipping Point.
1. The Tipping Point is that magic moment when an idea, trend or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. At what point does it become obvious that something has reached a boiling point and is about to tip?
2. The possibility of sudden change is at the center of the idea of the "Tipping Point"—big changes occurring as a result of small events. If we agree that we are all, at heart, gradualists, our expectations set by the steady passage of time, is it reassuring to think that we can predict radical change by pinning their tipping points? Can we really ensure that the unexpected becomes the expected?
3. The 80/20 Principle states that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the 'work' will be done by 20 percent of the participants. This idea is central to the Law of the Few theory where a tiny percentage of people do the majority of work. But say you took those 20 people who do all the "work" away, would changes or epidemics never occur or would the next 20 people step into that role and assume the position of "workers"? Is one born an exceptional person, a 'one of the few,' or could someone eventually learn how to become a member of this exceptional group?
4. Connectors—the kinds of people who know everyone and possess special gifts for bringing the world together. What kind of careers and job titles would you expect Connectors to have? Connectors are defined by having many acquaintances, a sign of social power, but do you think a Connector privileges quantity over quality? How do Connectors embody the maxim "it's not what you know but who you know?"
Maven—means one who accumulates knowledge and who has information on a lot of different products or prices or places. Could anyone be a maven if they just have the diligence and desire to learn a specific craft or area of knowledge? Salesmen—are the select group of people with the skills to persuade us when we are unconvinced of what we are hearing. Discuss what you think makes a good salesman? Think about the last time you were in a store and what you liked or didn't like about the retail person assisting you? Have you ever felt suckered into buying something or recognized the only reason you bought an item (or even one in ever color) was because of the person selling it to you?
What would you describe yourself as—a connecter, maven or salesman? Think of the people you know and who out of them best exemplifies these categories and why?
5. Sesame Street was an example of how an agent of infection (television) was able to infect a positive virus (literacy). What are some other examples of sticky messages that aren't as beneficial in culture?
6. What makes a message memorable? What about the commercial we dislike and we only recall because it irritated us so intensely? Haven't the advertisers fulfilled their purpose by the sheer fact you remember their commercial? Does this mean that the cliché "even bad publicity is good publicity" is right? If something gets noticed and sticks in the viewer's mind then does the nature of the message not matter?
7. What are some of the desperate measures taken by advertisers, publicists and celebrities to get noticed and stay in the limelight? How has the level of shock tactics used to grab public attention escalated and changed over time? Do we risk become totally desensitized as a culture, immune to the eyebrow-raising, attention-grabbing ploys of marketers?
8. The Ya-Ya Sisterhood epidemic reveals the critical role that groups play in social epidemics. Psychologists tell us much the same thing: that when people are asked to consider evidence or make decisions in a group, they come to very different conclusions than when they are asked the same questions by themselves. Can we ever really make a decision in a vacuum, solely based on our own feelings, or do our peers or surroundings always influence us somehow?
9. If peer pressure is more powerful than the concept of a boss would you work harder for a boss whom you are friendly with because you care more what they think?
10. Do you believe that it was essentially the 'cool' marketing campaign that tipped the Airwalk trend? Can you think of other more current products that have exploded onto the market with an equally impressive advertising assault? Would Apple computers and the iPod phenomenon, for example, be as popular if it didn't have it's signature marketing campaign?
11. How do weird, idiosyncratic things that really cool kids do end up in the mainstream? They are translated from a highly specialized world into a language the rest of us can understand. So, when we judge things as being weird and idiosyncratic are we really saying that we just don't understand it? It's not the product but our interpretation of it that is limited? Could everything, if 'sugarcoated' in a way we recognize, ultimately, become palatable and even enjoyable?
12. The epidemics of suicide and smoking are complex and largely unconscious contagions with far more subtle undercurrents at work. One explanation beyond rationale is that as humans we get permission to act by seeing others engage in deviant acts. When we engage in dangerous or reckless behavior of any kind, how much of our decision to do so is conscious versus unintentional? Are you a smoker or have you ever been? What do you think makes some people pick up the habit while others steer clear of it their whole lives?
13. What are your opinions on the nature vs. nurture debate? Do you agree that environment plays a bigger role in shaping and influence children than genetics and personality?
14. What underlies successful epidemics, in the end, is a bedrock belief that change is possible, that people can radically transform their behavior or beliefs in the face of the right kind of impetus. Can leopards really change their spots and do you agree that it only takes the smallest infractions to cause the greatest changes? With the slightest push in the right place, can the world around us be tipped?
15. How does this book relate to Evolutionary Psychology? Discuss.
The paper must be typed, double spaced, and written in Times New Roman 12pt. font. Answer all questions above. Please do not re-write the questions within your paper.

22 September 2017 @ 11:00 pm UTC+1£8 – £15
|| Freerange Brighton 4th Birthday || Neighbourhood || Patterns ||
Four years ago we launched Freerange in Brighton and it's been a hell of a ride since then. For this event we've put together a very special line up for some Fresher's Week madness.
Delighted to announce we'll be teaming up with Neighbourhood for a one off special, taking over Patterns and bringing down some of our favourite artists.
First up are Bristol based grime lords Kahn & Neek. They have beenFreerange favourites for a number of years and we're delighted to have them join in the celebrations. Two of the most notable artists in Bristol to champion grime in recent years, via their various releases and label Bandulu, we can't wait to have them in the basement. Expect dubplates-a-plenty as they tear up the downstairs.
Next up is another Freerange favourite Swindle, diverse and effervescent in his productions he has been a feature of some of our best shows of the past year. His DJ sets are always bouncy and varied and this time – we're sure – will be no different.
Last but certainly not least we have one of dubstep's MVPs in Commodo*. Forever reaching new heights with his production we're excited to have him at this show.
We're delighted at how this event has come together and we can't wait to have you all down for this one, it's going to be special.

Crocodile Face Paint Template
Use our step-by-step instructions below to easily replicate this vivid crocodile design.
Step by Step Instructions
1. Using the makeup sponge or large brush, paint the entire face with the medium shade of green.
2. To make scales, use a medium paintbrush and a light green (or yellow) face paint. Draw mini half-circles on the cheeks, nose and forehead.
3. Finish with a small paintbrush by outlining the bottom of the mini half-circles with dark green paint.
Tip: Opt for water-based face paint – it dries quickly and doesn't smear, and you can easily remove it with soap and water.

It has always been our mission at Zinda Foods to address a need in the food-to-go category to create a product that is lower in carbohydrates, has no trans fats, no palm oil & absolutely no preservatives.
However, we were confused to find 0% trans fat labelled on the front of most wheat-flour tortilla packs but when we flipped over the pack and looked at the ingredients we saw that they included "partially hydrogenised oils", "mono & di-glycerides of fatty acids and emulsifiers" or "shortening agents" which are very much derivatives of the trans fat family!
Basically ALL commercial wheat flour tortillas contain trans fats, however, if the quantity is below half a gram then it's legal to label them as 0% trans fats. A remarkably confusing, and one could say misleading, labelling system. As much for us as a manufacturer and as it is for shoppers.
So where does that leave us…..
· As a manufacturer, our Zinda AirWraps have no form of trans fats - not a drop! Not in the base, nor in the fillings.
· As a consumer, we are well aware that trans fats are known as a dangerous food additive contributing to heart disease, strokes, liver dysfunction, Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimers, or even recently links to infertility in women. And so trying to limit the intake of trans fats is natural.
But many manufacturers often feel tempted to use trans fats, as they prolong shelf life and prevent ingredients from separating when put together.
Denmark was the first country to outlaw industrially-produced trans fats in 2003. Since then Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, New York City and California have all followed suit. The United States and Canada are set to introduce nationwide bans on partially hydrogenated oils - the main source of artificial trans fat, this year.
A UK ban has not been met by Government support, which has preferred to allow food companies to reduce the trans fat content of their foods on a voluntary basis.
However, as a health-conscious food-to-go manufacturer, we have opted out. We say NO to trans fats or any of their derivatives as we are well aware of the dangers of consuming trans fat in any quantity. We also have no palm oil in our wraps too.
"All commercial wheat flour tortillas contain trans fats, however, if the quantity is below half a gram then it is legal to label as 0 trans fats. Confusing & often misleading!"

by Dr. Prasad Akella | SAPinsider
July 1, 2011
In the inaugural "SME Insights" column, SAP's Prasad Akella explored the solutions within SAP's portfolio that best fit the diverse needs of small businesses and midsize enterprises (SMEs).1 In this installment, he shines light on key components of the portfolio — SAP BusinessObjects Edge Business Intelligence (BI) software and SAP BusinessObjects Edge Rapid Marts packages — and discusses how they address SMEs' information management and BI needs by offering customer examples.
SMEs face three key challenges that impede their ability to make good, data-driven decisions. The first challenge is ensuring the integrity of information. An Economist Intelligence Unit study revealed that more than 70% of companies say that accurate and timely data improves their customer relations and sales processes.2 In fact, the study found that data accuracy was reported as "very important," garnering nearly twice as much interest as the level of detail within that data.
The second challenge is democratizing the availability of information; broader access to better information drives better decisions.
And the third challenge is controlling the cost of ownership by reducing the IT resources required to successfully deploy and maintain BI solutions. Pre-integration with other business management systems, such as SAP ERP and SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM), and pre-packaging are great ways to control deployment and ongoing running costs.
To overcome these challenges, SAP BusinessObjects Edge solutions provide a comprehensive set of offerings specially packaged and priced for SMEs. The solutions provide capabilities that help companies ensure information integrity, transform decision making, and optimize business performance. For example, SAP BusinessObjects Edge solutions that address BI, information management, and data warehousing (see Figure 1) are available in four incremental versions:
A leading midsize manufacturer of equipment and wound management products for hospitals and nursing homes has over two dozen product managers and sales directors who use SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI to monitor trends and variances in dashboards and drill down to the region, state, city, market segment, and product line levels to analyze the gap between targets and performance. These business users identify the "why" behind a particular trend or calculate customer/product profitability on the fly by easily developing BI queries themselves. And since SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI is available pre-integrated with SAP Business All-in-One, the manufacturer needs only one part-time IT team member to support its BI environment. This is an example of how business users at midsize organizations can develop these insights without the need for dedicated IT.
OraSure Technologies, a $75 million medical-device and diagnostic-solutions manufacturer, originally used spreadsheets to integrate data from the ERP functionality in its SAP Business All-in-One solution and other sources. It now uses SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI, version with data integration, to consolidate data into SAP BusinessObjects Edge Rapid Marts to provide a single, trusted version of the truth. In less than 30 seconds, an employee can be analyzing the business, and because there is complete transparency of data lineage from the 30,000-foot level all the way back to the general ledger entries, decisions are made faster and with greater confidence in the accuracy.
The success of these customers shows that SAP BusinessObjects Edge solutions address some of the top challenges SMEs face in making data-driven decisions. SMEs across the globe are choosing these solutions; for more information, please visit www.sap.com/sme.
Prasad Akella recently caught up with John Wilkinson, SAP's Vice President of Business Analytics for Global Ecosystem and Channels, to get his perspective on the SME market. Here are some highlights from their discussion.
A: When I speak with SMEs, they usually cite three challenges:
A: One of the main reasons is that SMEs often start out using spreadsheets for business analysis. These spreadsheets are notoriously error-prone, resulting in poorly informed decisions. As the business grows, the number and complexity of spreadsheets increase, and so do maintenance and security costs. And because so much time is spent gathering and validating data, business users don't have timely access to information needed to respond to changing conditions.
Dr. Prasad Akella (firstname.lastname@example.com) is Vice President and Head of SME Marketing at SAP, responsible for marketing SAP's portfolio of business management and business analytics solutions to small businesses and midsize enterprises. Prior to joining SAP, he held a breadth of roles, spanning from research and development, to engineering, to business development and sales. Prasad is a co-founder of the social network pioneer Spoke Software. He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University, where he was a Meakin fellow; an MBA with highest distinction from the Ross Business School at the University of Michigan; and a BS from IIT Madras. He holds three seminal patents in social networks and fraud detection.

Being fit enough to perform at a high level from the start of a soccer game to its finish can make the difference in winning and losing, and football fitness drills are one key to maintaining that fitness. Players who lack fitness may start a game strong and be unable to hold onto that early lead. Soccer fitness drills will help keep players in shape so that their last touch on the ball is as good as their first.
Few sports requires as high a level of cardiovascular fitness as soccer does. Football fitness drills can build the endurance needed to spend most of a match running with the ability to break into a sprint when needed.
A strong foundation of fitness becomes increasingly important the older a player gets. A player who is struggling with basic fitness on the soccer field will not be in a position to make the best decisions on the fly or to use the technical skills practiced.
Football fitness drills will also help prevent injuries. In addition to running and sprints, soccer fitness drills focus on those same actions while maintaining ball control in both attacking and defending situations. The agility to run at top speed with the ball or to steal the ball from another player in a fast-paced game is important, and players who are in better condition are less likely to hurt themselves or another player.
Finally, football fitness drills can also be used to maintain a base level of conditioning during the off season.

Mario's bike – Henri Cartier-Bresson
Something that's been around a while and blogged about by plenty of others but all the same…
Digital Blue says:
When everything is blurred you cannot convey the motion of the bicyclist. On the other hand, if the bicyclist is not the subject– what was?
-voted as "deleteme" (from the Delete me! group)
Gianni D. Pro User says:
I like very much this picture. I like the atmosphere, the movement and the perspective.
voted as "saveme" (from the Delete me! group)
beyond the pale says:
hard to tell at this size but is everything meant to be moving in this shot, all seems blurred
-voted as "deleteme2" (from the Delete me! group)
Agata… says:
Why is the staircase so "soft"? Camera shake? Like the angle though.
Agata… says:
-voted as "deleteme3" (from the Delete me! group)
dalbergaria says:
How can you guys talk about photography if YOU NO NOTHING ABOUT IT!?!?!?
DCP, Infinite_vest, AgataL, you have NO idea how stupid you look now!
Thats F*#&#^%ing awesome!
carolyn_in_oregon Pro User says:
so small
so blurry
to better show a sense of movement SOMETHING has to be in sharp focus
-voted as "deleteme4" (from the Delete me! group)
carolyn_in_oregon Pro User says:
I think you're funny
leolecal says:
our master is "shaking in the grave".
so shame on you 'deleteme ppl'..
dalbergaria says:
Deleteme pepole… YOU GUYS ARE NUTS!!! PLEASE! Stop that…
"to better show a sense of movement SOMETHING has to be in sharp focus" WHO TOLD YOU THAT CAROL???
Someone should write a book about this… Its unbelievable…
– voted as DELETE the Deleteme people! ahahah
carolyn_in_oregon Pro User says:
please don't post to this pool if you can't deal with criticism
read the front page of this pool
dalbergaria says:
I can deal with criticism…
But can't I criticise STUPID criticism?
Now you are not dealing very well with my criticism… I guess.
beyond the pale says:
oh, hang on now I get it, it's not a problem with the shot, it's our opinions which are lacking, this photo is of such an intrinsically high quality that there could be no other explanation.
Dalbegaria – you seem very attached to this photo or poster, but when it is submitted to a public group for criticism, then, well you get what you pay for. None of us claims to be an expert but our opinions are valid here, feel free to post a comment detailing why you like this shot…
wilkiecoco Pro User says:
Nicely composed, but blurry
-voted as "deleteme5" (from the Delete me! group)
CarlosBravo Pro User says:
This photo is pure art.
-voted as "saveme3" (from the Delete me! group)
dalbergaria says:
infinite: Patient you need to be. And the force with you will be!
Gary Lindquist Pro User says:
This looks contrived, which is not a bad thing. If this is a planned shot, it just didn't come out right. If you can round up Mario, I would do it again. This time put the camera on a tripod and use the smallest aperture possible to get the best DoF. What I would hope for is that the railings are sharp and that mario on the bike shows a blur. Must have the foreground sharp, though. Without that, the image will never fly.
-voted as "deleteme6" (from Deleteme! group)
Bukutgirl Pro User says:
yeah and?
grey, blurry, small, odd crop
-voted as "deleteme7
sparty lea Pro User says:
I very much like the crop and all the wierd angles in this, the patchwork of textures in the street is great, I like the grey grainey look it has but I'd like to see it much bigger
Cant vote on this size
davidchardman Pro User says:
Ha Ha, very funny 😉
paddysat Pro User says:
Nice form, AR. You have fished out all the reasons I dont come around hyeres any more.
How could I not save this!?!
I claim masterpiece!
-voted as "saveme4" (from the Delete me! group)
okrahoma says:
a lot of winking going on here… was this shot by another André?
dElay says:
perfect !
dalbergaria says:
Poddysat got the point!
Good job man!
Lets go… No balls for the deleteme9 and 10?
André Rabelo says:
Im almost crying. My poor digital photography, adjusted with photoshop is deceiving…
Nobody loves me…
jam-L Pro User says:
great catch!
MiniTar says:
Ok, I'm not a photography expert.
Ok, I'm very into lomography.
Ok, I'm very very fan of colors.
But I just can't delete this photo, cause I can see the beauty of an unsharp shot, the movement of it and I'm able to rebuilt this momment in my head.
So, just like paddysat said:
I claim masterpiece!
My whish is to save this photo, but I wont.
I want that you guys delete it, cause it will just prove my theory: you guys know nothing about good photoshography, you just care for very regular photos. you are nuts and patethics!
PS. Besides, I know a little bit of the history of photography 🙂
igilmour Pro User says:
bit too blurred to be worth a save from me
-voted as "deleteme10" (from the Delete me! group)
dvcz Pro User says:
felmagalhães Pro User says:
this is the day deleteme has entered the history of photography as the worst (not in terms of being mean, but in terms of being mis-informed, mis-educated, un-cultured, and all other things that can be summarized by the word STUPID) critics this art form has ever seen. you guys have just proved that all your votes aren't worth the least of all considerations. thinking that deleteme criticism will improve the way we photograph is BULLSHIT. it'll just turn us into advertising/stock photographer wannabes, gadget show-offs that only care for the technicalities. you guys are full of yourselves (in other words, full of shit!).

The International Standards Organization (ISO) developed the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model to define functional communications standards. This reference model is widely used by equipment manufacturers to assure their products will interoperate with products from other vendors. The OSI model describes the functions that are performed in data communications. The model architecture is seven layers those are listed below with each layer defining specific functions.
Layer 7 Application
The Application layer provides the interface to the user. Any user application that requires network communication accesses the communication resources through this layer. This layer also is responsible for finding and determining the availability of communication partners. Typical applications in the TCP/IP protocols are Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Telnet, and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Layer 6 Presentation
The Presentation layer is responsible for encoding and decoding data that is passed from the application layer to another station on the internetwork. This layer is responsible for encoding data in a format that the receiving station can interpret and for decoding data received from other stations. Data compression and encryption are accomplished at this layer. Typical coding schemes include ASCII, EBCDIC, MPEG, GIF, and JPEG.
Layer 5 Session
The session layer is responsible for creating, managing and termination sessions that are used by entities at the presentation layer. The session layer is responsible for coordinating the service requests and responses generated and received by a station when it is communication with other entities on the internetwork.
Layer 4 Transport
The Transport layer implements reliable internetwork data transport services that are transparent to upper-layer protocols. The services include flow control, multiplexing, and error checking and recovery. If virtual circuits are needed for the communication to be accomplished, they are built and maintained at this layer. Flow control is responsible for making sure that a sending station does not transmit data faster than the receiving station can process it. Multiplexing allows multiple applications to share a common network interface. Error checking is implemented to discover errors on transmission and to provide a recovery mechanism when errors are found. Typical error recovery includes retransmission of the data.
Layer 3 Network
The Network layer defines routing services that allow multiple data links to be combined into an internetwork. The Network layer defines network-addressing schemes that logically identify network devices. The logical network addresses are different from the physical addresses defined at the MAC layer, and are used by routing protocols running at this level to transfer packets from one network to another. The most common network addressing protocols are IP, IPX, and AppleTalk. Typical routing protocols that run at this level are RIP, OSPF, IGRP, and NLSP.
Layer 2 Data Link
The Data Link layer provides reliable transit of data across a physical network link. The Data Link layer also defines the physical network-addressing scheme, such as the MAC Address on network interface cards in a workstation connected to a LAN. The Data Link layer also defines the topology of the network (bus, star, dual ring, and so on). Flow control at the Data Link layer is defined to ensure receiving stations are not overrun with data before they can process data already received. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has redefined the Data Link layer into two sublayers. The sublayers are the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The LLC and MAC sublayers are defined in the IEEE 802.2 standards. The LLC manages communications between devices over a single link of a network. The MAC sublayer manages access to the physical medium from multiple upper-level protocols. The MAC layer also defines the MAC address, which uniquely identifies devices at the Data Link layer.
Layer 1 Physical
The Physical layer defines the parameters necessary to build, maintain, and break the physical link connections. It defines the characteristics of the connectors, data transmission rates and distances, and the interface voltages.

Cameron University's Dr. David Fennema, professor of theatre arts, has been selected as the 19th recipient of the Harold and Elizabeth Hackler Teaching Excellence Award. The Hackler Lectureship in Teaching Excellence was established in 1996 by CU alumni Harold and Elizabeth Hackler to recognize outstanding contributions by faculty in the lives of Cameron students. Fennema received the award during a reception featuring Mr. and Mrs. Hackler on November 17 at Cameron University-Duncan. Dr. Justin Walton, assistant professor, and CU student Thelonious Smith spoke of Fennema's passion for teaching and continuing quest for learning.
"Dr. Fennema serves as a noble example of what every other educator should aspire to be," Walton said. "He is a model of dignity in our profession and a man most deserving of this prestigious teaching honor.
His professional relationships are a result of the time and effort he invests in getting to know his students and colleagues alike. He takes a personal interest in their work and achievements and extends a helping hand in times of need. He motivates his students to learn by modeling his own enthusiasm for his subject area and by his ongoing desire to learn more about it. He is fundamentally curious about this world and strives to learn something new every single day of his life. By listening, yielding, and reflecting, Doc remains open to all conceivable possibilities--characteristics that have served him well throughout his professional career."
"I have observed Dr. Fennema in the classroom and in the theatre," said Smith. "I truly admire his passion for perfection. In this context, perfection does not mean without error. It refers to his wish to grant students what they need to succeed. He listens with an attentive ear, so he can offer the best advice to students. His attitude helps create an atmosphere of teaching, development, and guidance in the classroom. An atmosphere of teaching, development, and guidance perpetuates success."
He then thanked Fennema "for being a perfect example to follow" and closed by saying, "I wish you continued success in inspiring students to reach their goals and aspirations."
Through the endowment, Fennema will receive a stipend and a grant for professional development. His name has been added to the Hackler Award honor roll plaque that is on display at the CU-Duncan campus.
"As a director, teacher of acting, and a mentor for young actors, David always brings students to a highest possible level of performance," said Dr. Von Underwood, dean of the CU School of Liberal Arts. "He loves to work collaboratively, cultivating and drawing inspiration from the creative energies of his students and his colleagues. You can see his work as a teacher and director later this month in 'Iphigenia at Aulis.' The proof is in the play. He carries the same enthusiasm for the varieties of expression in drama and the arts into his general education classes. The excitement and gratitude of his students is often still clear years after they have studied with him. He is a teacher's teacher, opening creative horizons with great joy."
Fennema was nominated by CU students Cynthia Reynolds and Francesca Rios, both of whom took his "Exploring Multiculturalism" class during the Summer 2009 semester.
"Dr. Fennema emitted such a happy and excited attitude in his class that was so contagious you couldn't help but want to be excited about the class right along with him," Rios said in her nomination. "It is because of Dr. Fennema that I want to travel to China, Japan, India and the West Coast of the U.S. and Canada to experience first-hand the variety of cultures."
Reynolds said of him, "Dr. Fennema is an experienced and cultured professor whose teaching ethic is high, and he makes it clear to students that his desire is that they learn about other cultures and come away from his class with an open mind...He inspired me to learn more about other cultures and even research more about India, which is a country I've grown to love, with great thanks to Dr. Fennema."
Following teaching stints at the University of Wisconsin, the College of Wooster and the University of Denver, Fennema joined the faculty at Cameron University in 1983, where he teaches numerous classes pertinent to the theatre, including Introduction to Theatre, Theatre History/Drama, Acting/Directing, Technical Productions, Playwriting, Exploring Multiculturalism Through the Arts, and more. He attended the University of Wisconsin, receiving B.S. and M.A. degrees in Theatre/Speech and then earned his doctorate in Theatre/Drama/Comparative Literature from Indiana University.
Recipients of the Harold and Elizabeth Hackler Teaching Excellence Award are selected based on recommendations from faculty and students. All faculty who have been regular full-time members of the CU faculty for at least three years and hold an appointment as an assistant professor or higher are eligible. The candidate's principle assignment must be teaching.

WASHINGTON — Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, was the first to take to the Senate floor to publicly pose a question gnawing at an increasing number of lawmakers and ordinary citizens alike as the deadline for a government shutdown neared: Has Congress gone completely crazy?
"It's very hard from a distance to figure out who has lost their minds," said Ms. McCaskill immediately after the Senate on Monday rejected a Republican plan to not finance the government unless Democrats agreed to delay the new health law. "One party, the other party, all of us, the president."
Senator Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat and majority leader, had his own colorful, if somewhat skewed, metaphor about why much of the government was about to grind to halt in a take-no-political-prisoners fight over what is essentially a simple six-week funding bill, attributing it to the emergence of a "banana Republican mind-set."
Mr. Reid's language was evocative, and the implication was serious. With Democrats controlling the White House and Senate and with millions of dollars spent getting the health care law to the starting line, what gives House Republicans the idea that they can triumph in their push to repeal, or at least delay, the Affordable Care Act when so many veteran voices in their party see it as an unwinnable fight?
"Because we're right, simply because we're right," said Representative Steve King, Republican of Iowa, one of the most conservative of House lawmakers. "We can recover from a political squabble, but we can never recover from Obamacare."
Representative Raúl Labrador, Republican of Idaho and one of the original proponents of the so-called Defund Obamacare movement, was similarly sanguine. "We can always win," he said Monday afternoon, as he jogged up the stairs to a closed-door conference meeting, where House Republicans gathered to plot their next move.
Representative Pete Sessions, Republican of Texas and chairman of the House Rules Committee, hinted that Republicans were unlikely to give up without at least another round since they see their campaign against the health care law as something of a higher quest. And many, if not most, people they talk to — colleagues, friendly constituents, activists, members of advocacy groups — reinforce that opinion, bolstering their belief that they are on the right side not just ideologically, but morally as well.
"This isn't the end of the road, guys," Mr. Sessions said with a grin. "This is halftime."
The distance between the House and the White House has never seemed greater.
While some House Republicans postulate that President Obama would secretly welcome a postponement of the law to avoid embarrassing bureaucratic problems, he has repeatedly made it clear that he would veto any bill that delays his signature health care law from taking full effect. But he would almost certainly never have to use his veto pen since Mr. Reid, who is incensed at Congressional conservatives, has also made clear that the Senate is unlikely to pass any spending bill that includes items from a Republican wish list, like delaying the health care law for individuals by one year.
As the House and Senate exchanged legislative volleys, the president accused his Republican opponents of an outrageous effort at extortion and reminded them that even if the government does shut down, his health care law will proceed largely unaltered.
"An important part of the Affordable Care Act takes effect tomorrow," Mr. Obama said, referring to the open enrollment process that begins Tuesday. "That funding is already in place. You can't shut it down."
Yet House Republicans remain undaunted — and some even said publicly that winning is beside the point.
"What was I elected for? To try to change the law on behalf of my constituents, to stand on my core principles and do my best to represent them ethically, honestly, based on the core principles we share," said Representative John Culberson, Republican of Texas. "This is a matter of core principle."
Representative Steve Pearce, Republican of New Mexico, described the task facing his colleagues as perhaps quixotic, but ideologically critical. "At times, you must act on principle and not ask what cost, what are the chances of success," he said.
Historically, stopgap measures to finance the government were routinely approved with bipartisan support and considered on their own merits as "disputes about money," as Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, Democrat of Maryland, reminded her colleagues on the Senate floor on Monday. "They were not about political, ideological viewpoints over past legislation," she said.
After being criticized by the Senate once again, House Republicans emerged Monday afternoon from their closed-door meeting with their latest distinctly political offering to the Senate, a bill that would link further government spending to a one-year delay of the new insurance requirement for individuals, as well as a proposal to force members of Congress, their staff, and White House staff, to buy their health coverage on the new exchanges without any government subsidies to offset the cost.
Senate Democrats immediately decried the plan as unacceptable, and even a portion of House Republicans expressed concern, angry that their leadership's proposal did not go far enough. Representative Michele Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota, said the only bill she could support would be one that included "a full repeal for a year, which would be defund and delay."
As the government inched closer to a shutdown, some House Republicans began expressing frustration at what they viewed as magical thinking from some of their colleagues.
"It's just leading us into a dead end," said Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York, referring to his conference's latest offering. "The Democrats are going to reject it, and the government's going to shut down."
Representative Devin Nunes, Republican of California, likened the hard-line, conservative members of his conference to "lemmings with suicide vests."
"It's kind of an insult to lemmings to call them lemmings, so they'd have to be more than just a lemming, because jumping to your death is not enough," he said.

For the second month in a row, Chemical magnate Dow increased prices. This time by as much as 25 percent, compared to last month's increase of 20 percent. Interestingly enough, they uncover a plan of surcharges for each truck delivery and railcar delivery. They offer consumers the same reason so many other business do when raising prices : rising fuel costs.

Dow Chemical Increases Prices By Twenty Percent
Dow's CEO, Andrew Liveris, blames the US Government's long-standing policy of inaction towards the rising energy crisis for the company's recent hike in prices on all products across the globe by up to 20%. Dow claims a 42 percent increase in cost of their energy and "feedstock" (the raw petroleum from crude oil) for the first quarter compared to a year ago. My concern : Dow's extensive list of products and services is a far reaching bohemeth and this price increase will gouge into the pockets of other industries that are already hit hard by the increase in fuel prices.

Score: Ohio 6, Saint Louis 1
Records: Ohio (1-0, 0-0 MAC), Saint Louis (0-2, 0-0 A-10)
Location: Muncie, Ind.
Short Story: The Ohio field hockey team (1-0, 0-0 MAC) started the 2017 season with a 6-1 victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Saint Louis (0-2, 0-0 A-10) on Saturday (Aug. 26) in Muncie, Ind.
- Junior Kendall Ballard (Charlottesville, Va.) provided Ohio with its first goal of the season in the third minute, firing a shot on a penalty corner from Emma Eggleston (Houston, Tx.).
- Ohio would double its lead only a few minutes later, when senior Maria Russell (Hudson, Ohio) put one past freshman Saint Louis keeper, Lillian Cossetto. Ballard picked up the assist on the goal that gave the Bobcats a 2-0 advantage.
- The Bobcats continued to be aggressive on offense when in the 15th minute, sophomore Karynne Baker (Falls Church, Va.) earned a goal for Ohio off a missed penalty corner to make it a 3-0 game.
- Saint Francis would bring the deficit back to two in the 27th minute off of a deflection to bring the score to 2-1 going into halftime.
- At the half, Ohio outshot Saint Louis 7-2 and earned more corner chances 5-1.
- Sophia Boothby (Spotsylvania, Va.) would get the start in goal for the first half, notching one save on the day.
- Freshman Emma Spinetto (Louisville, Ky.) would increase Ohio's lead yet again in the 43rd minute off a deflection to notch her first career goal and to give Ohio a 4-1 lead.
- Ballard then made a big play for the Bobcats in the 44th minute off another corner chance, expanding Ohio's lead to 5-1. Picking up assists on the play were Eggleston and Baker.
- Ballard would add another goal to her total on the game in the 59th minute on another corner opportunity to give her three on the game and solidify Ohio's 6-1 victory.
- Saint Louis would make four shot attempts in the second half, but Alex Pennington (Easton, Pa.) protected the net in the second half and recorded one save on the game while Cossetto recorded six.
- Ohio outshot Saint Louis 12-6 and won the corner battle 9-3.
- Ballard led both squads with five shots and three goals as well as one assist on the day.
- Spinetto would record two shots and one goal while Eggleston tallied three assists. Russell and Baker would each add one shot to Ohio's shot total.
- Ohio improves to 21-15-1 (.569) in season openers since the NCAA era began including 7-6 under 13th year head coach Neil Macmillian since 2005.
- The Bobcats are now 10-5-2 all-time against the Billikens.
- Neil Macmillan now has an all-time record of 123-113. He is the longest-tenured head coach in Mid-American Conference field hockey and is two victories away from becoming the all-time winningest coach in Ohio field hockey history.
"We played a really good game today I was very impressed with our corner execution, we did a really good job of attacking corners. Kendall's finishing was outstanding right in the side of the goal and she had really good power, but she can't get that shot off without a really good corner. I thought our overall game play was solid, we played with good tempo and good speed and it was great to see all of the freshmen out there and they all contributed to the game. Now we have to rehab and get ready for a tough conference rival match-up tomorrow." – Head coach Neil Macmillian
Ohio closes out the opening weekend of the 2017 season with a match against Ball State on Sunday (Aug. 27) at 2 p.m. in Muncie, Ind.

Make Shamrock Cupcakes From Standard Pans
Introduction: Make Shamrock Cupcakes From Standard Pans
Learn how to make yet another cupcake shape without having to buy specialty pans. These are great for St. Patrick's Day. They are made using the same trick as my Heart Shaped Cupcakes. You can adapt this technique for many different shapes by altering the marble placement and decorating techniques.
You will need:
cake batter (one box prepared according to package instructions)
cupcake pans
cupcake liners
marbles (rolled-up foil balls or pie weights can be used here instead)
colored sprinkles (optional)
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Fill the Pans
Place liners in your pan(s). Fill with cake batter 1/2 full. Do not overfill!
To create indentations in the cupcakes that will form the shape, you will be placing marbles between the pan and the lining paper. Place two close together to form the stem. Place two more spread out about 1/3 the distance between the rest of the circle (see picture).
Bake as usual.
Step 2: Cool the Cupcakes
Once they are baked, allow the cupcakes to cool at room temperature. The marbles will be quite hot so don't take the cupcakes out until they are cooled or you are prepared to handle the hot marbles. It is best just to wait it out.
Step 3: Frost
Part of the shamrock-shaped illusion is the frosting method. The proper use of icing can remedy even a warped looking shamrock (such as occur when cupcake papers are too full).
Ice a thin line into the "stem" section. Then spread the icing in three arches to accentuate the leaves.
Cover with colored sprinkles, if desired.

Famed soprano tries on another Verdi role in San Diego Opera's 'A Masked Ball'
Verdi's "A Masked Ball"
When: 7 p.m. March 8, March 11, March 14; 2 p.m. March 16
Where: San Diego Civic Theatre, 1100 Third Ave., downtown
Tickets: $45-$280
(619) 533-7000 or sdopera.com
There are few sopranos as intimate with Giuseppe Verdi as Krassimira Stoyanova.
She's sung the role of Elisabeth in "Don Carlo," Leonora in "Il Trovatore," Violetta in "La Traviata," Luisa in "Luisa Miller," Desdemona in "Otello," Gilda in "Rigoletto" and Amelia in "Simone Boccanegra," to name a few Verdi heroines she has portrayed in many of the world's major opera houses.
And with 2013 being the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth, she devoted the entire year to singing his operas and multiple performances of his massive Requiem.
But she's not done yet. She's adding Amelia in Verdi's "Un ballo in maschera" ("A Masked Ball") to her repertoire. She'll sing the role for the first time in San Diego Opera's production of Verdi's masterpiece, which opens Saturday at the Civic Theatre. (She'll also be one of the soloists in the opera's March 20 presentation of the Verdi Requiem at the Civic.)
"I've sung a lot of Verdi, more than 10 roles," said the Bulgarian soprano during a rehearsal break. "I know this composer. I know his style very well. But this role: I don't know if this is my role. I am very new to this role."
She's trying out Amelia with three opera companies: San Diego, and then the San Francisco Opera and the Vienna State Opera, which should give her a good idea whether the part is agreeable to her.
"It's not so easy to sing Verdi," she said. "Every composer has an individual style and particular difficulties. For example, Mozart is a challenge because Mozart must be very explosive, with emotion. But at the same time, you are (restricted by the style of the music); the voice is not so free.
"Verdi is the opposite. Verdi has more space for the voice, but this means the singer must give more."
In "A Masked Ball," Amelia is the wife of the King's best friend, who is jealous of her close relationship with the King, and ultimately joins a plot to murder him at a masked ball. (The opera was inspired by the real-life assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden at a masked ball.)
"In nearly every soprano role by Verdi, these characters are really under big stress," Stoyanova said. "The life situation is not easy, and of course this means there is a collision, and normally in the end, the women die."
Unlike Gilda, Desdemona, Violetta and Leonora, Amelia lives to see the end of the opera but is horrified by the murder of the man she loves, the King.
"(The amount of) emotion is very difficult on the singer," she said. "Because we have to use this emotion to show the character, but at the same time, we don't (go too far). It's very dangerous if we take this emotion in. This is very tricky, and it must be very calculated, this process."
Still, it's that emotional directness that Stoyanova finds most appealing.
"It's such sincere music," she said. "This music is coming directly from the heart."

I've always thought this was a ridiculous question. Of course the tree would make a sound if it fell. It doesn't matter if it has an audience to hear its sound. Or does it?
Let's think about this tree scenario in terms of art. If you make a piece of artwork and no one is there to enjoy it, is it really art? Now, some might argue that art is in the making--the expression. It doesn't matter who sees it.
I would argue that art sitting in a basement, sketchbook, or in a pile somewhere is not doing what art is meant to do. I believe that, while the making of art is important, the action of viewing art--the interaction between a viewer and a work of art gives life and meaning to the art.
This past weekend I had the opportunity to have a booth at a local fundraising event in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This was a great opportunity to get my work out there for some quality community interactions! It was a wonderful evening of discussing my work with others, and listening as connections were made between patrons and paintings! As an artist, there is nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone make a meaningful connection with a work of art. And, truth be told, there is no way that connection would have happened if my work was sitting in a pile in my studio. In order for my work to have MEANING, it must be seen.
Also, be sure to check my "Upcoming Events" tab to keep up with my upcoming shows and opportunities for YOU to see some of my work in person!
