Evaluating IP telephony products
Tips for comparing IP Telephony hardware and software products.
If you've decided to implement an IP Telephony network, but you haven't decided on a vendor yet, you're probably planning to evaluate a lot of IP Telephony hardware and software in the near future. You've got a lot of questions to answer. These include concerns about the hardware and software compatibility with your existing network, and of course, you want to listen to actual phone calls to hear how it sounds for yourself. You also want to verify interoperability between a number of vendors and product lines.
All of this may be easier said than done. You get some demo equipment from your salesmen, but if you don't already have a network set up, what good is it? If you're trying to set up all the equipment at once and you have issues, it's hard to know which product is misconfigured or at fault. These and other issues can make evals almost pointless.
Here are a few tips for conducting a productive evaluation:
- Research your tools first. Find a good product that lets you capture traffic and decodes the signaling protocol and the voice CODECS. You will need this to baseline and evaluate the different IP Telephony products objectively. Common examples include AppDancer, Viola's NetAlly VOIP, and special VOIP software for the old faithful protocol analyzers like Wandel & Goltermann, Radcom and Sniffer.
- Know your own network. Make sure you test during peak traffic hours. Try to test over all the components that will be involved in the final deployment. For instance, if you have any firewalls, VPNs, proxy or authentication servers that will interact in any way with the telephony equipment, be sure to test them. If you have different brands of PBXs in different locations, be sure to test those too.
- Plan ahead of time and be prepared. You may not get long to play with the demo equipment, and quality time with pre-sales engineers is very scarce these days.
- If you don't have SIP servers setup, test your demo equipment using public SIP servers. You can find a short list of them at www.cs.columbia.edu/sip/servers.html. Even if you have already made a decision on the SIP servers, testing them on public ones will give you a good feel for interoperability.
- Pay attention to the version of software or firmware running on the demo equipment. It will likely be different than what you receive after you've purchased. Ask for copies of the last stable release and the latest beta or pre-release code. As part of your test, perform the upgrade yourself. IP Telephony code may change quickly, and you want to get a feel for how smooth the process is, and how much time it will take to maintain the devices in production.
- Finally, document everything thoroughly and provide constructive feedback to the vendor.

192.168.62.1 IP Address-Router Password, Login, Admin and Details
What is 192.168.62.1
192.168.62.1 is a Private IP Address, which is generally by the networking devices and equipments to identify a particular device. As with any other private IP Address 192.168.62.1 can be used by any local network, irrespective of whether it is also used by some other network at some other place. However, it cannot be assigned to two devices within a single network.
What are Private IP Addresses
Early network design, when global end-to-end connectivity was envisioned for communications with all Internet hosts, intended that IP addresses be uniquely assigned to a particular computer or device. However, it was found that this was not always necessary as private networks developed and public address space needed to be conserved.
Computers not connected to the Internet, such as factory machines, routers and other networking rquipments that communicate only with each other via TCP/IP, need not have globally-unique IP addresses. Three ranges of IPv4 addresses for private networks have been reserved. These addresses are not routed on the Internet and thus their use need not be coordinated with an IP address registry.
Today, when needed, such private networks typically connect to the Internet through network address translation (NAT).
|IANA-reserved private IPv4 network ranges
|No. of addresses
|24-bit Block (/8 prefix, 1 × A)
|20-bit Block (/12 prefix, 16 × B)
|16-bit Block (/16 prefix, 256 × C)
192.168.62.1 Router Login and Password Details
Most of the manufacturers of broadband routers and modems allow the users to access their device settings through the use of their web browsers. They have to connect their device to their computer and type the default IP Address in the URL Address bar.
In case your manufacturer has set the default IP Address of your router as 192.168.62.1, then you can use the tables given below to find out the default login and password for your router.

Legend has it this dish, created in 1899 in New Orleans, was named for the very wealthy John D. Rockefeller—because the sauce was nearly as rich as he. The dish has evolved over the years, but is most often made with minced green herbs or leaves, butter and breadcrumbs, baked over fresh shucked oysters in the half shell.
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1/3 cup chives chopped
- 3 tablespoons Pernod
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Kosher salt
- 18 fresh oysters shucked, shells reserved
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
Recipe Details
- Yield: 18 oysters (6 Servings)
- Cuisine: American
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the spinach and arugula and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the chives and cook 30 seconds. Add the Pernod and breadcrumbs and cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt; stir until butter melts. Transfer to a bowl and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Transfer the spinach mixture to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
- Sprinkle the kosher salt over a large shallow roasting pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Arrange oysters in half shells on the salt. Top each oyster with some of the spinach mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until spinach mixture browns on top, about 8-10 minutes.

About The Church
On June 21, 1947, John P. Treacy, Coadjutor Bishop of La Crosse, issued a decree for the establishment of a new parish…Our Lady of Peace. Reverend Walter Dillenburg was appointed the first pastor of Our Lady of Peace Parish.
On May 18, 1948, Fr. Dillenburg blessed and broke the ground for the Our Lady of Peace complex. The 'temporary church' and school construction began and the cornerstone for the church was laid on August 1. The first Mass was celebrated on February 20, 1949. Most Reverend John P. Treacy, Bishop, dedicated the new church on June 12. Bishop Fulton Sheen was present and spoke at the dedication.
The rectory and Columbus High School were added in 1951/52 and the convent in 1954. A vote was taken by the congregation to begin construction on a permanent church with groundbreaking on May 2, 1965. Bishop F.W. Freking dedicated the new church on June 12, 1966.
On January 12, 1980, Fr. Dillenburg died suddenly. He had served as pastor at Our Lady of Peace for 33 years. Reverend Francis Wavra became the new pastor in March. By this time, the parish had grown from 252 families to 1100. There was another groundbreaking for a $400,000 addition and renovation to the school on October 23, 1987. March 10, 1993 saw the passing of Fr. Wavra. Reverend James Logan was appointed new pastor on June 6, 1993. Fr. Logan retired in 2003 and Fr. Don Meuret became the new pastor.
On November 23, 1997, Our Lady of Peace celebrated its 50th Anniversary Mass with its charter members. In 2002, Columbus High School celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Fr. Meuret was reassigned in December 2011. Reverend Eric Berns was appointed as pastor in January 2012. On June 11, 2016, Our Lady of Peace Parish celebrated its 50th Anniversary in its permanent church.
Our Mission
- Love God.
- Love Others
- Make Disciples
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37,39
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matthew 28:19-20
Our Community
Our Lady of Peace Parish is a composite of charter members from 1947 to the very newest babies baptized into the Catholic faith. Our individuals and families come with a wealth of life experiences and talents. We are from a variety of cultural backgrounds that express the open hearts of our parish. We are fortunate to have a strong and vibrant Catholic School system in Marshfield that adds to the richness of our faith through its youth.
Fr. Walter J. Dillenburg best summed up the richness of Our Lady of Peace Parish in the following words.
"God in His infinite wisdom has chosen us to carry on where others have left off-for this we are thankful. We are laboring under the glorious patronage of Our Blessed Lady-for this we are honored. Our Friends and Benefactors have been most kind and generous-for this we are sincerely grateful. Our labors and sacrifices are not only recorded in time but also in eternity-for these we hope to receive an eternal reward."
Our Statement of Faith
A Statement of Faith is a written declaration of the church's position on matters that pertain to the essentials of historical Christianity
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe it is important to uphold the scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of Communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation, but that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
Our Lady of Peace is a parish that believes in Jesus, a parish that loves God and people.
My Spirit Rejoices in God My Savior

Today is Ember Friday, one of the lesser-known instances in the liturgical calendar called Ember Days. Ember Days happen four times a year, including this week, between the First and Second Sundays of Lent. The four instances take place near the turning of the seasons; this week's is near the transition from Winter to Spring, while the others are 1) between the Third and Fourth Sundays of Advent 2) between Pentecost and Trinity Sunday and 3) the liturgical third week of September, of the week of September 14th.
Ember Days are times set aside for fasting, penance, and contemplation of the glory of God through his creation. We are encouraged to think about the many gifts that God has given us, and to pray for the temperance to use those gifts in moderation and in the spirit they were granted.
The name "Ember Days" might be misleading, in that many people think of embers in a fire. In fact, the origins of the name are disputed, but all seem to revolve around either the Anglo-Saxon "ymbren", which meant a circuit, or a revolution—referring here to the cyclical seasons, and the Ember Days' place at the transitions between them—or else the folk etymology of "remember" in the spirit of contemplation.
Additionally, it is common for clergy to be ordained on Ember Days. Likely established by Pope Gelasius I in the Fifth Century A.D., the rules for ordination were changed from the previous practice of ordaining clergy whenever it was necessary. This mirrors the spirit of Ember Days, in that clergy are granted stewardship over the Church God created.
As we go further into the Lenten season this year, it is good to remember the great creation given to us by God, and our role as stewards.

We have a winner.
From now on, The Hole is called Hamburg Dungeon. Thank you all for participating. Rest assured that we considered all of your suggestions in our not-so-objective voting. The first vote resulted in a 6:6 between Hamburg Dungeon and Red Dragon. A second ballot was needed to determine the winner.
Dungeon, Red Dragon? Yes, we have to make a confession: We love fantasy, some of us anyway: movies, books, TV shows. After work, we withdraw into another world, which so obviously contradicts the cold-hard-fact reality of technical documentation. We exchange the latest Doctor Who season for Outlander books. We discuss whether the Purple Wedding or the Red Wedding will send more Game of Throne fans into therapy, and we talk shop about how to best capture a dragon.
You might be interested which suggestion came third: Icelandic vulcanos. There are 130 of them. Who needs so many meeting rooms? But the suggestion coincides with the latest bunga-bunga of the Icelandic vulcano Bárðarbunga. Have you tried to pronounce Bárðarbunga? You can practice here:

Nico Hulkenberg is to join the Sauber team for 2013, the long-expected announcement having duly been made.
The German's career is without doubt on an upward curve, and the move to Sauber would appear consistent with this momentum, but the switch also gives rise to a few questions.
Is this what could be described as a sideways move? And if so, would he have been better off remaining at Force India? Does the move to Sauber indicate a growing closeness to Ferrari, with the long-term hope of securing a race seat at Maranello?
Although Sauber have undoubtedly displayed more dynamism and flair than Force India during the 2012 season, a glance at the Constructors' standings lends weight to the notion that this is a sideways move. Force India have been consistent if admittedly largely unspectacular. On the other hand, Hulkenberg may fear losing career impetus if Force India do not progress from their current place in the order of things. If the move to the Swiss team can be viewed as a gamble, then he possibly feels that it is one worth taking. In addition, Sauber have a sound reputation for stability and permanence.
It would seem that Hulkenberg has gradually begun to attract the notice of the leading teams, and his name was tentatively linked with the second seat at McLaren before Sergio Perez got the nod there. When the future of Felipe Massa at Ferrari was in jeopardy, the young German was mentioned as a possible candidate to replace him. Time will tell whether the decision to join Sauber is part of a strategy to strengthen these links with Ferrari.
In amongst the bright young things of Formula 1, it has taken some time for Hulkenberg's potential to be more widely recognised, but it seems that many in the sport, and its followers, are beginning to wake up to it. It is up to him to capitalise on this opportunity, and to the Sauber team to equip him with a competitive car, to ensure that the aforementioned upward curve maintains its current direction.

I got all 3 of The Balm's Shady Lady volumes. They are kind similar but different. I've been wanting to try their shadows because I have heard so much great things. Such as no fall out, highly pigmented, and easily blendable. Well I have tried it out and I agree except the shadows are a little powdery so there is some fall pit. However, the palettes are the same quality as the single shadows. It's still a great buy. I am a happy girl.

It all started back at the beginning of the nineteen sixties. Our company founder, Ignaz B., was working in New York at the time as a chauffeur and, as fate would have it, one of his regular customers was James Bond creator Ian Fleming. They often ended up in lively conversation, among other things, about what would make the "perfect hotel". From that time on, Ignaz B. had a dream which he could never let go of. He wanted to open up a hotel where the individual needs of each and every guest would be satisfied all along the line. Many years later, this entrepreneur fulfilled his dream. And he already had the perfect name – Fleming's!
The first Fleming's hotel opened in Frankfurt in 2005. Soon after, in the same year, the Fleming's hotel in Munich-Schwabing opened. Many more followed on. The Fleming's dream came true in Vienna and Zurich too. The youngest member of the Fleming's family is still undergoing renovation work and is expected to open in 2021 – the Fleming's Selection Hotel in Hamburg, meaning that the company is now also gaining a foothold in the Hanseatic area. Just like its creator, Ignaz B., the Fleming's brand is always open to new innovation and improvements and keeps moving with the times. And even after his death, we are living out his founding vision and his understanding of perfect hospitality. Common to all our hotels are the cleverly thought through and impeccable standards which aim to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible.
Today, as it has always been, our goal and the expectation we have of ourselves is to provide our guests with the perfect stay. It doesn't matter whether you come to us as a business customer or privately – we want you to feel well-looked after, part of the Fleming's family.
Just like its creator, Ignaz B., the Fleming's brand is always open to new innovation and improvements and keeps moving with the times. And even after his death, we are living out his founding vision and his understanding of perfect hospitality. Common to all our hotels are the cleverly thought through and impeccable standards which aim to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible.
You can look forward to many new culinary highlights - we have a number of "signature dishes" which were developed.in close cooperation with the Fleming's founding family. They bear the handwriting of our company founder who enjoyed bringing back new culinary discoveries from his many travels, dishes to melt in the mouth which you can now try for yourself.
Many discerning customers and business travellers know and appreciate Fleming's hotels. In the search for a hotel brand that they can trust, it is more important to them to find individuality and charm rather than uniformity and anonymity. In our hotels, you will find a successful symbiosis between international standards and local charm. Those who are looking for a state-of-the-art hotel experience and for whom local character and the culture of the respective city is important will find that they are in the right place with Fleming's. The Fleming's brand will win you over with its top locations, excellent service, luxurious rooms, and sophisticated catering facilities.
The highest standards with exclusive character
Fleming's Selection has a range of selected top locations. Outstanding service and high-class cuisine ensure that even the most discerning guests find that no wish has been left unfulfilled during their stay, allowing them to enjoy every moment to the fullest. As well as the usual amenities, such as free Wifi and an extensive breakfast buffet, you will find a Nespresso coffee machine awaiting you in your room, as well as a selection of Molton Brown luxury brand toiletries. Mineral water, beer, and soft drinks are provided free of charge in the mini bar.
The 4-star category
Here we offer our guests the usual classic "Fleming's quality" but with some additional facilities and service provided in the "Superior" category. The difference between the Comfort and Superior room categories comprises a number of individual component aspects. The additional benefits to guests in our Superior rooms include the provision of a Nespresso coffee machine and a free-of-charge minibar. In the Comfort rooms, we provide free mineral water plus a kettle with tea and instant coffee.
Everything that "digital travellers" could wish for
As of January 2018, we are expanding our portfolio with our third and newest brand. Fleming's Express is a straightforward guest experience for the next generation. Today's young travellers take it for granted that they can use mobile communication services any time any place, so they will quickly feel that they are in the right place. They will be greeted by a design conscious and unconventional ambience with Smart technology such as the convenient new check-in desk.

I've given it a bit of thought and it seems that this is what I've become.
I don't know why, or how.
It just happened.
I'm not a knowledgeable, political hack by any means. But I do have my own thoughts, beliefs and a sense of justice for all.
For example and in no particular order - just as they tumble from my addled brain - I care about the following:
- The current and unforgivable level of homelessness....that includes some families (and individuals) whose parent(s) are IN employment.
- The continued disaster that is our Health Service.
- Crime. Under-resourced (and underpaid) Gardaí, closed stations and an apparently inefficient and outsourced 999 public service. As I've mentioned before.
- The continued under-resourcing of disability services and support. At all levels and ages.
- I continue to care about SEN education and properly supported inclusion, where appropriate.
- As a Public Sector family I care about how we are treated. And I make no apologies for that. And any party who can put Public Sector workers in the same category as Bankers and Developers, in one sweeping statement, is not for me. That's you ruled out so Renua Ireland and Eddie Hobbs.
- I care about a decent living wage for ALL workers, and deplore the created divide between Public and Private sector workers. Remember, it suits those in power that this be so.
- Proper fully-thought out work/life balance options for parents, that includes affordable childcare AND viable financial options for parents who chose to stay home. The minuscule 'Homecarer Tax Credit' would be laughable if it wasn't so insulting. This I've written about before too. Many times!
- Irish Water. 'Nuff said.
But somehow I seem to have stopped discussing and debating any of the above.
No tweets or facebook onslaught from me, in quite a while now.
And Ireland has a General Election on February 26th.
That's tomorrow, people.
I will vote, I must. To not do so would not be right, for me.
But who on earth to vote for?
And what's the point?
I have watched all three debates. To me Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin won both Leaders Debates - which doesn't really help me. And in the larger debate Richard Boyd Barrett and Stephen Donnelly were impressive - which helps a little.
Decision time: will one of the usual main parties with a smaller partner win again, or will it be a hotch-potch of Independents? They certainly talk the talk, but if finally in a position of power to walk the walk, will they?
I used to think that the worst result from a General Election was a 'Rainbow Government'. Which happened many years ago. Back when there were many more despondent voters and a decisive choice was not made by the public. That Government did not last long.
But now I fear a result like Spanish type deadlock .... i.e. no government at all.
And I shudder at talk of an agreement reached between Fianna Fáil (the party at the helm when the crisis hit and - in fairness - were bullied by The Troika and IMF) and the current major Government partner Fianna Gael (the party who promised us they'd stand up for us in Europe - as did their partner Labour - and then proceeded to implement most of Fianna Fáil's policies!)
And as we all now know 'Labour's way or Frankfurt's way' turned out to be Frankfurt's way....all the way. There's karma in the fact that Labour's way tomorrow could very well be in following the way of the Progressive Democrats and the Green Party before them.
Suddenly a 'Rainbow Government' is starting to look good, isn't it?! Imagine, all different minds and opinions sitting around a table discussing and negotiating with the best intentions on behalf of Ireland's worthy citizens? A utopia of dissenting agreement.
Yeah, dream on........
I think a picture is now forming of the whyfores and howfores of my levels of despondency?
For what it's worth this Despondent Voter has pretty much made her mind up. And it will be a bit like as that elderly gentleman said on the news last night: 'vote 1,2,3... and put the pen down.' Just not necessarily the party he was advocating!
Despondency aside I do hope everyone who can takes the time to vote tomorrow.
All we can do is think of what is important to us and vote accordingly.
What will be will be.
Ireland will get what we vote for...... and therefore what we deserve.
Could be worse I guess.
We could be voting on whether or not to let a 'Donald Trump' rule our little corner of the universe!

The explanation of the cover design for Storyteller is on the back cover, but of course people looking at it online don't usually see that. Here is the relevent quote:
"Na, there will always be need for Bards," said Kyan. "If not to sing the warriors' deeds now, then to remember those who fought before, and teach those who will fight afterwards the way of it … We are like the pin in the cloak-clasp, the smallest, plainest part, and yet without it the brooch falls away and is lost, and the cloak with it, and the man perishes from the cold. So is it with us. If the Bards should ever take the Druids' road west, it would be a black day for the Cymry, for what is there to hold a people together who do not remember their past?"
Make more sense now?

CV Questions Page 7
Q. Why no?
A. Well on the other side of the coin, there are other people who make enquiries and can easily afford our rates, but for some reason or another choose to go elsewhere. In some cases, I just shrug my shoulders but in other cases I do despair somewhat. For example, some reasons people have given me for going elsewhere include the suggestion that we 'were not local enough', 'were too personalised rather than mass-market' and 'didn't give out a free CD!'
Some people go elsewhere because they are under the false impression that all CV writing companies are the same, and they mistakenly think they will get the same service and the same quality product elsewhere for £10, £20, £30 cheaper. I guess such people just don't understand the nature of CV writing, and the CV writing sector, but it does frustrate me a bit when someone say something along the lines of 'I don't doubt that you are the best CV company, but this other firm will do it for £20 cheaper.'
It's crazy – it's a bit like the Manchester United chairman saying to the manager 'yes I'm sure Wayne Rooney will guarantee us a lot of goals, but my auntie says she will play centre forward at half the price!'
Q. Do you think your CVs are worth it?
A. Definitely!
I genuinely believe that we rate the best CVs clients will find anywhere, at any company, anywhere in the world. This includes companies that charge double, triple and quadruple the prices we charge.
I think our prices are very fair considering the effort our consultants put in and the advantages we give clients in the job market compared to other companies.
Q. So you really are quality conscious?
A. Yes, most definitely, being quality focused is what has helped us get where we are today.

The new faces of watchmaking: Trendsetters keeping us all on our toes
Published 25th January 2016

The new faces of watchmaking: Trendsetters keeping us all on our toes
Marc André Deschoux is the founder of thewatches.tv. The views expressed here are his own.
It was a smart move for world-leading watch show SIHH to invite the small independent brands that embody the new face of watchmaking.
We have seen the rise of these young brands over the last 10 years and they have definitely brought in some freshness and coolness in the industry. With a mix of real, traditional watchmaking and outside-the-box thinking, they have all developed their own little territory and unique offering.
For sure, they cater to a small group of potential buyers around the planet -- compared to watchmaking's grand old names -- but these are the trendsetters, and maintain watchmaking's "cool." Everyone benefits from it.
The boom is over, but no need to panic
In the last 15 years, we've seen double-digit growth of the industry, but these are now behind us. We will most probably see the rise of "less but better" in the months and years to come.
I find it fascinating that in the 21st century there still is space for a 500-year old craft that deconstructs a very intangible notion, time, into a mechanical object.
I will always love the simple fact that to be a successful watchmaker, you need to be creative and at the same time think like an engineer.
It's a bit schizophrenic, and putting more than 500 components in a space smaller than a matchbox is crazy.
Having all these components work in a harmonious and reliable way, even crazier!

Effective Date: October 30, 2003
Expiration Date: October 30, 2020
|Update to comply with 1400 Compliance, with administrative changes to the Policy, titles changes, update authorities and applicable documents, and added Attachment A - References.
a. NASA's policy is to ensure that graphic markings on NASA space transportation vehicles (or procured commerical launch services), component systems, and payloads are simple, professional, effective for identification, standardized where practical, and, except as otherwise directed by the Administrator, do not advertise for commercial products. Markings and marking materials must conform to the guidelines and requirements contained in the reference documents listed in paragraph 4.
b. The rules governing the markings are dictated by the various physical configurations, operational environments, and life expectancies of each.
Space transportation vehicles may carry one or more of a variety of markings, or remain unmarked, depending on the discretion of those funding the launches. The markings may include national colors, the NASA logo, mission logo, logotypes, trademarks, or similar symbols, and may be no larger than the diameter of the launch vehicle in both height and width.
c. U.S. components of the International Space Station (ISS) shall carry only the U.S. national colors, the words "United States," and/or "USA," the name of the given element, and the NASA Insignia.
d. Component systems provided by foreign governments or international agencies for the Human Space Flight Systems (HSES) may display the markings of their nations or agencies for noncommercial purposes, as their provider's judge appropriate, with the approval of the Associate Administrator for HEOMD. Examples of such are the Remote Manipulator System from Canada the two ISS Nodes, Columbus and Harmony, constructed by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for the European Space Agency (ESA).
e. Each element, system, and payload of the ISS provided by an International Partner (IP) may carry the providing IP's national colors, the name of the providing country, the name of the given element, and the insignia of that IP's cooperating agency. The ISS IP's shall submit the plans for their proposed markings to the Space Station Control Board (SSCB). The SSCB, with the support of the ISS Partners Public Affairs Office Working Group, shall review each proposed marking to confirm its compliance with the guidelines contained in ISS Partner Program Directive (ISSP-PPD-519), "ISS Program Guidelines for Graphic Markings on ISS Elements, Systems and Payloads."
f. Space payloads may display the markings of their NASA or non-NASA owners so that they can be identified while being filmed or videotaped as part of the ISS, or deployed in space. Payload markings may be designed as their owner's judge appropriate, provided that they do not appear as advertising rather than identification. No markings will be approved if they contain any advertising other than the name of the owner or sponsor, interfere in any way with the mission, or may be considered to be unprofessional or inappropriate.
g. This policy does not restrict the use of markings necessary for safety (e.g., cautions and warnings).
a. This directive is applicable to NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers.
b. In this directive, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms: "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission. "Should" denotes a good practice that is recommended, but not required. "Will" denotes an expected outcome, and "are and is" denotes descriptive material.
c. In this directive, all document citations are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted.
The National Aeronautics and Space Act, as amended, 51 U.S.C. § 20101(a) and 20113(a).
ISSP-PPD-519, "ISS Partner Program Directive," "ISS Program Guidelines for Graphic Markings on ISS Elements, Systems and Payloads."
a.

Entering plant information in EBP
I added the plant into the OCI interface in the standard field NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD1 and I would prefer that once the item is selected from the catalog, EBP respect the incoming plant instead of some default "Location" related to the user from the PPOMA.
Do you know if there is a way to set this attribute mapping in EBP with some BADI? I was trying with the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER but it is not possible to map the plant with "Location" in EBP; EBP is respecting the PPOMA setting.

I'm a techie blog junkie. On average I read five to 10 articles a day from a wide variety of tech blogs. My bookmarks have folders within folders of saved blogs and websites I like; not to mention my Evernote is full of saved articles.
In today's article I'm sharing with you what I think are the 12 most influential techie blogs. The term blog is going to be stretched a little because a couple of the sites are not technically blogs, but they are full of techie goodness anyway.
TechCrunch is a global blog that discusses latest techie trends, VC's, tech news and a ton more. Over the years I've read TechCrunch, they have covered all things Apple, Google, Android, Microsoft and more. Not only do they provide great insight on technology and the business behind it, but they also provide insight on smaller startups as well. TechCrunch is a well rounded and fully comprehensive techie blog with loads of information.
Product Hunt
Product Hunt is a site that introduces new technology; from software, hardware, services and more. Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt, began this tech blog in November of 2013 as an email list and eventually grew it into the great techie blog it is today. The blog provides information on new technology, allowing readers to either upvote or downvote the article. They recently added a new category for Games that enables everyone to review new and upcoming games. Product Hunt has built a large community around its blog, which builds on its already large following.
Tech.co is based out of Las Vegas, NV and provides insight on all things technology. If you go to their About page you will see they are a media company and events organization for techie startups. Tech.co was originally TechCocktail, founded in Chicago by both Frank Gruber and Eric Olsen in 2006. But after a few years, Eric moved on and in 2010 Frank partnered with Jen Consalvo. Tech.co holds events all over the world. In the coming months they will be holding events for their Startup of the Year throughout the country. They also provide product reviews, updates to product launches, acquisitions and more.
C|Net is a monster technology review media blog. They provide article and video reviews on a huge variety of products. Their focus is mainly on technology, but they have a comprehensive library of technology reviews, software downloads, new, articles and more. C|Net is my first stop whenever I want to buy a new product because it helps me make a more informed decision.
Engadget is a techie blog dedicated to providing news and reviews on gadgets and new technology. I love going to this site because I can see new gadgets that are coming out that I have never heard of. Engadget is also a great site for guides, gaming and videos. They have a large library of information and the articles they provide are well written.
Wired is a techie blog developed for covering current and future technology trends. This is one of two sites I go to when I want to read up on running a technology focused business. Wired is quite simply, one of the best known techie blogs available today. It's a well rounded and fully comprehensive website that will educate you on running a business and teach you what it takes to be successful. They have a perfect blend of technology news and reviews, politics, business, design and more.
Lifehacker is a daily blog about software and shortcuts to improve your personal productivity. I really enjoy the simple hacks used to make your life easier. For example, on Lifehacker I found an article on how to banish fridge funk with a cotton ball and vanilla extract. These are the quirky but fun hacks you can find along with a plethora of technology hacks. It's a very fun site.
Huffington Post Tech
The Huffington Post has been around for a long time and have built quite the community around. Huffpost Tech provides the consumer with the latest tech industry news. I follow Huffpost Tech on my Twitter feed and I consistently get links to great articles concerning upcoming technology trends and the latest technology news.
Techspot is another blog that provides reviews, downloads and more. One of the reasons I frequent Techspot is due to the solid content and articles they create. I like the details and in-depth analysis they provide and have several of their articles clipped in my growing Evernote library.
Gizmag is another comprehensive review techie blog. What I like most about Gizmag though is they always have crazy and fun reviews on products other blogs have missed. Their articles are well written and provide in depth analysis. I really enjoy Gizmag.
CIO is a great blog for people that love technology and/or are in the IT field. Hundreds of articles on news, how to's, videos, security and a whole lot more. CIO is a fantastic resource for IT leaders and also a great educational resource for anyone in the tech industry.
Launch Feed
Launch Feed is a great blog for all things tech. From products in beta to production and everything in between. Launch Feed correlates feeds from sites like Product Hunt, Kickstarter, Ycombinator, Beta List, and Startup List. It's a great site to find new products that are available very early on in the development process and the products are vetted thoroughly. This site has a wide variety of information and is a great read.
All of these techie blogs fulfill my tech resource and reading needs, but I always enjoy finding others. If you have a site or 12 that you would like to share. let me know in the comments. There's always room in my bookmarks.

APC is dead, long live APCu & ZendOpcache
So far, the site seems slightly snappier now that I've replaced the venerable (but old and unmaintained) APC with APCu for user-space object caching and ZendOpcache for opcode caching. Various people report seeing 10-30% improvement in speed with the new opcode cache / optimizer that will be the default in PHP 5.5. Also APCu is nice because it looks exactly the same to existing apps & requires no configuration. One thing I recall reading about APCu, however, is that it doesn't provide the upload progress function that APC had. There are alternatives for that, though.
APC is dead, long live APCu & ZendOpcache is original content from devolve.

During the annual World Health Summit in Berlin/Germany, in the Regional Meetings, in specific Expert Meetings, and in regular conference calls, the M8 Alliance members work together on a range of issues to set the agenda for global health imnprovement and to convey scientific evidence and advice to policy makers around the globe.
The M8 Alliance promotes both "bench-to-bedside" translation of research and the transformation of current medical care approaches to treating the ill. It is seeking to accomplish this through the creation of a healthcare system focused on the effective prevention of diseases, as well as the adaptation of health-related solutions to rapidly changing living conditions through research in priority areas like shifting demographics, urbanization and climate.
Some of the issues have seen continuous activity over the years. Program information, meeting documentations, and results in form of statement or scientific articles will - by and by - be collected on this page.
Migrant and Refugee Health
Migrant and Refugee Health has been a M8 Alliance priority topic since 2015. It featured high on the World Health Summit agenda, and the M8 Alliance member Sapienza University of Rome organized dedicated Expert Meetings in June 2017 and June 2018.
Natural Disasters and Health
Natural disasters are unforeseen incidents, and preparedness – being organized for any possible disaster – is crucial. Natural disasters can create irreversible damage and can pose serious threats to human life and public health. The M8 Alliance works to provide support in order to help save lives, and rehabilitate the survivors after disasters. During the annual World Health Summit or in Expert Meetings, experts from different countries gather to discuss the problems of individuals , and to establish a common understanding and a global approach to the public health challenges related to natural disasters worldwide.

Colored Pencil Drawing Tutorial- How to Draw a Green Apple
For this tutorial I will show you how to draw a green apple with colored pencil in the style of realism. When most people hear "green apple", they assume that the majority of color will be green. Those people are wrong. There will be a few greens but there will also be a lot of neutral browns, yellows, greys, and warmer redish tones as well. Throughout this tutorial I will refer to pencil colors.
Prismacolor Colored Pencils
I buy all of my supplies from
Blick Art Materials
Buying your stuff from that link helps me keep adding to this site.
Step 1- Draw a light outline of an apple with any graphite pencil. It should be a fairly easy outline considering the subject.
Step 2- I want my darkest tones to be laid down first. It will give me a base to compare other tones to. I am using "olive green" for this area. Throughout this entire tutorial I am using the circulism method of shading. If you'd like to know more about this method refer to my
circulism tutorial
Step 3- The olive green color is not dark enough so I go over it with sepia.
Step 4- I work to the left of my dark area but make sure that everything is lighter than this. I am using olive green again. There will be two highlights in this area so I shade around them.
Step 5- My highlights are going to be very subtle so I carefully shade them in with olive green making sure that they stay lighter than the surrounding area. After that, I move down to the bottom of the apple still using olive green. Areas that need to be darker than the olive green recieve sepia overtop. I want my dark areas to transition into light in the next few steps. My lighter areas are going to be colored with some browns. I start these areas with light umber.
Step 6- I move back up to the upper part of the apple. I am going to put another subtle highlight above the other two. This time I use rosy beige for the highlight. Above that highlight will be another small one. This one I color with french grey 20%.
Step 7- At the top left edge of the apple I want it to be brownish so I use light umber. At this point I start transitioning my darks into lighter colors. I use limepeal and light umber for these areas. I want there to be some highlights around the crown of the apple. I use yellow ochre for these.
Step 8- I put another subtle highlight in the lower left part of the apple. I use french grey 20% for this. More transitioning in this area from dark to light.
Step 9- In the right center part of the apple I want it to be a warm color just to give the drawing some color variety. I apply rosy beige to this area but more colors will be layered on top later on.
Step 10- As I mentioned earlier I want my lighter, right side to have alot of brown colors. I transition from my dark area into light with burnt ochre and layer a little limepeel on top. I lay down sand color on the upper right edge.
Step 11- I continue working on filling in the rest of the apple. For the reddish area I've used a combination of henna and pink. Be careful with pink. It's easy to over-do it. For the upper part of the apple I used limepeel with some light umber layers in certain areas. I want a brilliant white highlight on the upper right part of the apple so I shade around this area. Make sure to keep this highlight very clean.
Step 12- More layers of light umber are added in the brownish areas. There is a tool made by Prismacolor called a colorless blender. It's basically a pencil that applies no color or tone and doesn't absorb any either. I am using this tool to blend the colors together. Compare this picture to step 11 and you will notice it's a lot smoother and polished looking. After the colors are blended I start on the stem. I use tuscan red and dark umber.
Step 13- I finish working on the crown of the apple and blending the colors with my colorless blender.
Step 14- This drawing is very plain looking at this point so I am adding a background. Burnt ochre is applied using circulism again. Make sure your color is consistent all the way to the edges of the apple.
Step 15- I have covered the whole wall with burnt ochre. Where my table surface meets the wall, I make that area darker with dark umber.
Step 16- Again, using my colorless blender, I blend all the color together. At the upper right corner I leave the wall unblended because it gives the wall a texture and suggests a light source.
Step 17- I start on the table surface. I apply burnt ochre but not quite as dark as the background wall. I am doing a reflection on the table also. Just basically draw the apple upside down for this reflection. The dark part of the apple is on the left side so the darker part of the reflection should be on the left also.
Step 18- The drawing is finished. From start to finish this took me probably about 7 or 8 hours.
I hope this tutorial has helped you in some way or another. I can explain how I do things all day but the basic idea of drawing is to just understand how tones flow and to train your eye to see what others don't see.
