Rhonda Emwalu
Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia
My name is Rhonda Dina Emwalu. I am from the state of Chuuk, from the island of Piherarh in Namwun Weito atoll, one of the remote islands outside Chuuk Lagoon. I was born on the main island of Weno and raised on my little flat atoll that has a population of 500 people. Where I am from, men do the fishing and thatch-roofing while the women do weaving and go to the taro patch. Women perform traditional dances on special occasions while men do the stick dance, or apengek, in which the men swing and sway their hips in a rolling motion and clap the side of their biceps while singing charming songs dedicated to their lovers.
I went to a public elementary school on my island and later attended a private catholic high school in Weno. I graduated in 1996 and went to a two year college in Pohnpei, the capital of the F.S.M. I transferred to the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo in fall of 2003. I am now pursuing a B.A. in Psychology. As you can see, education is very important to me—my goal is to help reform educational curriculum for elementary schools back home.
I love poetry so much because when I put myself into the language of a poet, I feel like I am thinking beyond rational thought. Mostly, I think it's the only way I can express my feelings.
Excerpt from Making Waves
Mother Oceania
For she is whom, heavenly grace
Has bestowed greatness and blessings
To be honored and adored;
A mother of all the islands and creatures
That have exulted indeed, and
Blessed be her name.
She has given life to all of her children in the Pacific and
Has poured incentive caring for all, and
Blessed be her name.
She is so righteous, soft, and generous, and
Blessed be her name.
Her genuine love is but endless, and
Blessed be her name.
She had filled us with good things and
Had nurtured us all in her loving arms, and
Blessed be her name.
She is all that we have survived and
Fully remained, and
Blessed be her name.
We should praise her name and
Give thanks to her,
Mother Oceania.
Mother Oceania has a wondrous heart,
Forgiving, loving, and caring,
She neither hates, disdains, nor harms;
Mother Oceania is always there and
She will always be there till whenever,
Wherever there is trouble and hardship,
Mother Oceania can twist magical power for them.
For she mindful,
Aware of her creatures,
Day and night, she watches over her children and
Pacifies them into the molding of her tender arms
With the vast cleansing of water.
Her hands are widely open,
To whoever wishes for her care.
Ancestries have incredible idioms of her.
Of all, they became masters with her;
They played, rafted, and
Navigated her water,
From East to West they've brought along,
Treasures of knowledge:
Tales, riddles, legends, magical wishes, and
Supernatural powers to teach the younger generations;
Upon landing they printed a mark of their voyage,
Knowledge and skills were naturally and
Practically taught.
The Ocean was their home from Mother Oceania, and
It is passed on to us.
They followed the moon, the stars, and
Have exceeded the open sky;
They chanted their ritual songs of ocean breezes and
Ocean creatures have listened to them;
They perceived the wind, wave, and celestial bodies,
As their guides on their journey;
As for the younger generations, we should rehearse and
Play our parts.
Other worlds look down on Mother Oceania;
They critique her and
Single out her minimal source;
In spite, they never perceived
Her massive absoluteness;
They give her an instinctive notice and
Apprehend her as nothing.
Though they may figure Mother Oceania as
Small and unworthy,
This will never be true in the mind of any Pacifica.
Let us hold the truth for we have seen it and
We have proven them wrong,
For we have seen She has a magnificent outreach
That expands incredibly,
That pretty soon will beat the torch and
Just slam the realm;
So stand tall Pacifica, and
Let us say our praises and thanks to Mother Oceania,
For it is her that we have come to identify ourselves,
And it is her that we have come to identify who we are,
Our dignity, person, and culture.

The truth is: I switched four majors during my freshman year before I decide to commit to a History Major. I can't thank Dr. Thornton enough for pushing me through this, and I have to say the History Department at UB has a great amount to offer. The faculty members are super approachable and always willing to help students. Plus, I just love the feeling to be surrounded by a group of dangerously overeducated individuals, makes you feel smarter than ever.
I truly can't play this pick-one-game since I absolutely loved most of my classes with my whole heart. Nevertheless, to answer the question I would say my favorite experience would be working on my research projects with Dr. Stapleton. Working with her is as fulfilling/ thrilling as being on an endless adventure. Because every time when I decide to take a pause, she will add more depth or mysteriousness to my project, by offering her incisive comments, or simply by adding a new piece of evidence. It feels like riding a roller-coaster: before one second you almost feel like you are competent, and the next moment you just realize you are completely ignorant. This way, I have to keep and always be curious and ready for more.
I am thinking about an MA program on Eastern Asian Studies or law school if I completely lost my mind… Either way, I think a History major has taught me three of the greatest skills which I could apply to anywhere: the capability to think broadly across those socially-constructed boundaries, the modesty to kneel down before the unknown and the undiscovered, finally the faith to continue writing without falling part constantly…
The Broadway Market for sure! Either for the history or for the food!
Definitely, Oscar Wilder, I could hear him being sarcastic for an entire evening without a single pause.

I recently began watching the Hulu original series The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name. Dystopian fiction, which has its roots in works such as Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451, has seen a popular resurgence in the last ten years. I speculate part of this is due to the commercial success of The Hunger Games, though Games is relatively family friendly whereas The Handmaid's Tale is certainly not.
While the material is dark and uncomfortable, Handmaid has given me cause to stop and think about why dystopian fiction has value. This was a bit challenging for me at first, because I have often held a rather frustrated view toward the genre as a whole. I have, both inaccurately and unfairly, previously held that anyone who depicts the future totalitarian societies seen in dystopian fiction must not have a very high opinion of humanity. Yet I have to admit that this is like claiming that my own favorite novel, Stephen King's IT, advocates violence toward children (it most certainly does not). Instead, dystopian fiction is a form of didacticism, and while I hold that the best kind of fiction entertains before it informs, it would be unfair of me to criticize one genre's method of delivery.
The show's first episode prompted a strong reaction from me, to put it mildly. The world of Orwell's 1984 is fluffy and bright compared to Atwood's alternative future. Because I watch a lot of Die Hard and read a lot of Jack Reacher, I spent most of the first episode envisioning cold-blooded ways to neutralize the people in power in Gilead. Lead rounds to the chest always seemed to be a good option. I crafted a fan fiction called John Wick Meets the Commanders. It did not go well for the Commanders. I thought about sending Eleven from Stranger Things to vaporize the Aunts (or, better yet, just let a pack of demogorgons loose among them). June's voice-overs, though, provided some much-needed levity, and demonstrated the power of human resilience.
The first thing that impressed me was how Handmaid interspersed scenes from before the founding of Gilead to explain how this world—the infertility epidemic and subsequent enslavement of the Handmaids—came about. It portrays a gradual escalation of events, starting as a health crisis in an otherwise normal society and culminating in an overthrow of the government by a radical group that sees mandatory reproduction as a moral imperative. It demonstrates the threat of complacency and the dangers inherent in permitting reductions of liberties for "the greater good" (and if you want to see a great satire of the flaws inherent in serving "the greater good" no matter the cost, look no further than the British cop comedy Hot Fuzz, which depicts a town of senior citizens crazily murdering each other in order to preserve the exterior façade of their village as a perfect community). Handmaid's portrayal of these changes brought to mind Martin Niemöller's poem "First they came…", which depicts individuals turning a blind eye to the systematic reduction of their own liberties under the Nazi regime, until they had no freedoms left.
Now, I do think it is important to note dystopian futures such as the one portrayed in Handmaid run contrary to how societies have actually developed over time. As a general rule, in the aggregate individual liberties and other measures of human progress have improved, not regressed over time. I wrote a separate blog on this last spring—see my post "Things Are Getting Better"—but the short version is that measures of human progress such as life expectancy, poverty reduction, literacy, voting rights, protections for minorities, pollution reduction, etc. have all gotten better rather than worse during the last hundred years, both in the U.S. and globally. True, there are exceptions to these observations, including areas we have regressed, but at the end of the day I count myself blessed to face the issues today over those of the past. I will take rage-fueled invective on Twitter any day over the Black Death.
One of the reasons societies have improved, though, is that we are very good at making mistakes, and also very good at learning from them. We need look no further than the atrocities committed as a result of Stalinism and later Nazism, to name two prominent examples, to know that we have gone horribly wrong in the past. Humanity learned important lessons from these events, but at a terrible cost. Yet it should not have to take the bodies of millions to effect changes for the better, and this I realized, is where dystopian fiction has its value—because works like 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale do the heavy lifting for us. They depict worlds where people became complacent, liberties were reduced, and horrible atrocities took place—and in doing so, they give us a chance to say "we can't let this happen for real".
It made me think of a phrase used to describe the effectiveness of adventure fiction. Action and adventure fiction is popular because it lets us experience a form of "safe stress". If I was about to get crushed by a giant boulder, I would be pretty damn stressed, but watching Harrison Ford do it in Raiders of the Lost Ark is a heck of a lot of fun. We get a chance for our adrenal glands to give us a (totally legal) chemical high without the threat of any physical danger. Similarly, dystopian fiction lets us experience the threat of society gone wrong from a position of safety. It delivers a cautionary tale, and gives us the opportunity to learn actual lessons without the cost of a real-life tragedy like the Holocaust. It will never be my favorite form of fiction—I'm more of a Stranger Things kind of guy—but after close to a decade of me unfairly ragging on a genre, The Handmaid's Tale showed me not only where I've been unfair in prior assessments of similar stories, but also how and why this is a valuable kind of tale.
At the end of the day, though, I just hope June manages to grab that nearest machine gun. I think she would kick some serious ass with it.

Toshiba webcam not working? Fix it in 7 steps
Toshiba laptops very reliable devices, but still, their users are not without issues. One commonly reported issue concerns the webcam which isn't always working on Windows 10, 8, or even 7. There are so many reasons why this may occur, so we'll cover all approach angles in order to help you. If you need to fix the Toshiba webcam, check the steps below.
How to fix Toshiba laptop camera issues
- Check drivers
- Scan for malware
- Run Windows Troubleshooter
- Use OEM's camera software
- Check BIOS
- Tweak Registry
- Check hardware
Solution 1 – Check drivers
First things first. In 90% of reported issues, the problem was driver-related. As you might know, drivers are the essential part of the Windows shell, and, consequently, without proper drivers, you won't be able to run a single piece of hardware. That includes a built-in camera.
So, for all intents and purposes, you'll need to check your drivers firstly before we move to additional steps. When it comes to Toshiba webcam drivers, most of the time, those are provided by Windows Update. Now, this might work for some users, while for others, the generic driver won't suffice.
In order to address this accordingly, follow the steps below:
- Right-click Start and open Device Manager.
- Navigate to Imaging devices.
- Right-click on your webcam and choose Update driver.
- Restart your PC and look for changes.
Now, if this wasn't enough, you should navigate to Toshiba's official site and download proper drivers from there.
- Navigate to Toshiba's official site by clicking on this link.
- Open Drivers & software section.
- In the Search bar, type your device model and press Enter.
- That way, you should be able to locate proper and updated camera drivers.
- Download, install drivers and restart your PC.
Automatically update drivers (third-party tool suggested)
We also strongly recommend Tweakbit's Driver Updater tool, as it is approved by Microsoft and Norton Antivirus and uses an advanced updating technology. It will help you update your drivers in order to avoid the permanent damage to your computer by manually downloading the wrong driver versions. Follow this easy 3 steps guide to safely update your drivers:
- Download and install TweakBit Driver Updater
- Once installed, the program will start scanning your PC for outdated drivers automatically. Driver Updater will check your installed driver versions against its cloud database of the latest versions and recommend proper updates. All you need to do is wait for the scan to complete.
- Upon scan completion, you get a report on all problem drivers found on your PC. Review the list and see if you want to update each driver individually or all at once. To update one driver at a time, click the 'Update driver' link next to the driver name. Or simply click the 'Update all' button at the bottom to automatically install all recommended updates.
Note: Some drivers need to be installed in multiple steps so you will have to hit the 'Update' button several times until all of its components are installed.
Disclaimer: some features of this tool are not free.
Solution 2 – Scan for malware
Some users tried every known workaround but succeeded in resolving camera issues only after dealing with viruses. It seems that certain malicious software affects laptop cameras rendering them unusable. Namely, it seems that it automatically disables camera and users are left with the black screen.
Now, for in order to address this concern, you're going to need either third-party antivirus or up-to-date Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials.
If you're not sure how to perform a deep scan with Windows Defender (Windows 8 and 10) or Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows 7) respectively, make sure to check the instructions we presented below.
Windows 8 and 10
- Double-click on Windows Defender icon in the notification area to open the dashboard Security Center.
- Open Virus & threat protection.
- Choose Advanced scan.
- Select Windows Defender offline scan.
Windows 7
- Start Microsoft Security Essentials from the notification area.
- Open the Home tab.
- Choose a Full Scan.
- Start the scan.
Solution 3 – Run Windows Troubleshooter
This might seem like an extremely generic solution, but, when in doubt — try every given option. Windows' native troubleshooting tools changed a lot on the latest few system iterations, but they remained useful for minor issues troubleshooting and fixing. If nothing else, they can give you a better insight into the cause of the problem.
So, obviously, the procedure varies on different system versions, so we'll show you how to run it on Windows 10, 8, and 7 respectively.
Windows 10
- Press Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
- Choose Update & security.
- Select Troubleshooting from the left pane.
- Run Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
Windows 8
- Open Action Center.
- Choose Troubleshooting.
- Select the Hardware troubleshooting tool and run it.
Windows 7
- Open Start.
- Choose Control Panel.
- Open Troubleshooting.
- Choose Hardware and Sound.
- Run the Troubleshooter.
Solution 4 – Use OEM's camera software
Occasionally, it doesn't matter if your camera drivers are properly installed. It all falls down to the individual program that's responsible for the camera. In Windows 10, once you install the system, the default Camera app will take over the camera device. And, as we already said in one of the previous articles, this app can misbehave occasionally.
For that purpose, we advise you to try original OEM's software or some other third-party camera app and look for changes.
Just make sure not to download the untrusted applications and you should be good to go. The detailed explanation of the best-suited apps for the job can be found in this article.
Solution 5 – Check BIOS
We all know that UEFI and BIOS settings on laptops are fairly limited option-wise. However, some users reported that their Toshiba laptops have an option to enable or disable the built-in camera in BIOS settings. We can't say with certainty what models have this option, but it will cost you nothing to go and check out on your own.
If you have this option, there's a chance that this mistakenly led to disabling of your web camera. In order to do so, follow the instructions below:
- Restart your PC and, while booting, press repeatedly the Delete button.
- Once you're in the Boot Settings menu, choose the Advanced tab. It may differ on various Toshiba laptops.
- Choose System Configuration.
- Select Web Camera and make sure to Enable it.
- Save changes and exit BIOS settings.
Solution 6 – Tweak Registry
Due to differences in the encoding standard, webcams available on older devices start misbehaving in Windows 10. If your Toshiba laptop falls into this category, you might need to turn to a subtle Registry trick in order to use your camera like before the problem emerged.
This might come as a surprise, but there's a registry entry that fixes the problem completely. However, act with caution. We don't want to make rush moves while in the Registry Editor.
So, in order to avoid additional issues and to resolve the camera problem, follow closely the instructions below:
- In the Search bar, type regedit.
- Right-click the Registry Editor and run it as an administrator.
- Click on File, choose Export, and backup your registry. This is a security measure in case something goes wrong.
- Follow this path:
- For 32-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\Windows media foundation\Platform
- For 64-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows media foundation\Platform
- For 32-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
- Right-click in the right window and choose New > DWORD (32) Value.
- Rename this value and name it EnableFrameServerMode.
- Right-click and choose to Modify this newly created registry value.
- Set its value to 0 (zero) and save changes.
- Restart your PC.
Solution 7 – Check hardware
Finally, if none of the previous software-related workarounds helped you, there's a chance that the hardware is malfunctioning. There are some things you can do in this department, too, but we advise you to rather take your PC for a repair.
If you're inexperienced, it's always better to let the professionals take care of your laptop. And, as we're aware, the camera sensor replacement isn't too much pricey. On the other hand, if you're experienced user, you can try googling for hardware troubleshooting and perform minor repairs on your own.
Either way, that should conclude it. We certainly hope you were able to resolve the issues with your Toshiba webcam in Window 10, 8, or 7 by following the aforementioned steps.
In addition, don't forget to share with us your webcam issues in detail. You can do it in the comments section below.

on Thursday, June 8th, 2017 at 10:43am.
I have been enjoying Mexican food all over St. George. Today I had the chance to eat at the Green Iguana, in the Red Lion Hotel on Bluff Street, in St. George. It was delicious! I didn't know what to expect because I have loved eating at the Red Iguana and the Blue Iguana in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I was very excited to find a genuine Mexican restaurant with all the things I love:
The service at the Green Iguana Mexican Restaurant was great. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and personable. We only had to wait for about 15 minutes to get a table for eight.
The Green Iguana is open Monday – Thursday from 11:00 am – 9:30 pm. On Friday and Saturday the hours are 11:00 am – 10:00 pm. The restaurant is closed on Sunday. The Green Iguana caters events too.
The pricing at the Green Iguana is very reasonable. We were served chips and salsa that was continuously refilled several times. I ordered a combination plate for about $11 and it had two entrée's with rice, beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. I ate a pulled pork enchilada that had the best sweet pork I have ever tried. I am excited to find a real Mexican Restaurant in the heart of St. George that I can enjoy with my family and friends. You should give it a try!
Live life to the fullest with no regrets!

TIOGA – Nikki Jones is fitting in fine in her new role as Natchitoches Central's girls basketball coach.
She made that clear Thursday night when she led the Lady Chiefs to a 59-26 win over Winnfield at the McDonalds Invitational at Tioga High.
"I feel like we should have rebounded better," said Jones, whose team is 8-0 and No. 6 in the LHSAA power rankings. "Things are coming together. With some time, we will correct the little mistakes."
Jones took over after Emma Boozman retired after the Lady Chiefs lost to Southwood in the Class 5A title game last season. Jones also played for Boozman.
"I haven't changed much of the game plan since taking over for coach Boozman," Jones said. "The players are comfortable with me because of my seven years as an assistant for coach Boozman."
The Lady Chiefs dominated the first quarter, ending the quarter 13-0.
"It's always good to have a team scoreless," Jones said. "But it's more important to play a complete game — scoring when an opportunity is given, good rebounding and minimizing mistakes is the key to winning."
Winnfield's Angel Rodgers ended the Lady Chief's 23-point run in the second quarter when she made a free throw to give the Lady Tigers their first basket.
The Lady Tigers (1-10) scored five points in the second quarter and eight points in the third quarter from free throws.
"Sometimes you can play too aggressive and that leads to fouling," Jones said. "We're a team that likes to press, and we started to play lazy defense. We played Winnfield early this season (and won 63-16). They came at us more aggressive than before."
Gabriella Cortze led NCHS with 18 points, and Jasmine King led Winnfield with six points.
"Gabriella is our senior post player and go-to player. She's a leader and always makes the plays needed to win," Jones said. "If we can eliminate turnovers and capitalize off of easy layups, we can keep this winning record."
Avoyelles 75, Leesville 53
Avoyelles girls' basketball coach Renee Bell has stressed aggressive play.
A strong defensive effort in the second half and 15 points from senior shooting guard Lyric Perry sealed a 75-53 win over Leesville Thursday at the at the McDonald's Invitational at Tioga High.
"We like to press a lot, and I think the key for us winning was our ability to rebound," said Bell, whose team is 6-14. "We still have a long way to improve. It's all about playing smart and executing plays."
Avoyelles' 6-foot-2 center Brandi Bradford dominated the inside with 14 points.
Bradford's strength is her ability to block shots, Bell said.
"She moved here from Chicago, and we're so glad to have her," Bell said. "She was ineligible last year and keeps a positive attitude. It makes coaching fun when players have a positive attitude."
Leesville (2-13) led at the half, 35-33.
Perry ignited an 8-0 run in the third quarter to give the Lady Mustangs a 47-40 lead to help her team pull away from the Lady Wampus Cats.
"We turned it on in the third when the coach gave us a stern talk," Perry said. "We do need to communicate better on defense because we played bad defense in the beginning. I'm just glad we were able to squeeze out this win."
Leesville's Ke'Shyia Culbert led her team with 11 points.
"We turned it on in the third and started playing faster and started securing rebounds," Bell said. "Everyone was playing full court and not focused, so we had to switch to a zone. Perry is a good 3-point shooter. We will continue to work on improving our defense and creating turnovers to score shots."

How do we know the things we know? Is it as simple as the brain holding memories that we access like a database file? Scientists have struggled to understand the origins and mechanics of human memory for decades, mainly because we may be able to unlock potent tools for shaping our individual futures.
Scientists often refer to the theory of "cellular memory" – the storing of information and memories in individual cells of the body as well as the brain – and use the theory to uncover repressed memories. Finding out where we've been elucidates our future and at the very least, offers explanations for behaviors, patterns, and routines we may be interested in changing.
Lee Pulos, PhD, takes the theory of cellular memory a step further in his program, The Biology of Empowerment. This interactive audio and self-help program offers users the tools to understand the scientific aspects of cellular memory, and the down-to-earth reasons why you absolutely must have this understanding before affecting positive change in your life. Without healing your memories and eradicating your unwanted behaviors at the cellular level, you are doomed to continually recreate your situation, no matter how hard you try!
The unlikely cult hit, "What the BLEEP Do We Know?" explored this link between quantum physics and emotion. As the main character, a deaf wedding photographer, struggles with her own existential roadblocks to development (depression, poor relationships, ever increasing anxiety), she begins to understand that her poor choices are influenced by malignant cellular memory, and vice versa. After hearing from some scientists about the power of observation – and the effect that positive emotions have on cells – she determines to break her cycle of misery by simply observing herself at critical points and making conscious, meditative choices to improve both her cellular makeup and her mood. In the movie, this process results in a happy ending.
The Biology of Empowerment, as described by Lee Pulos, PhD, continues this theory and further defines the tools needed to observe and affect cellular memory. In fact, the Biology of Empowerment uses groundbreaking research in quantum physics and physiology to indentify your core beliefs, your major obstacles, and the keys to your future success. The Biology of Empowerment is a system meant to tune in to the wisdom of the body and unlock its potential.
Before designing the Biology of Empowerment system, Lee Pulos, PhD, substantiated his theories on existential healing and physio-cultural tools for success through years of research and personal application. It is now available to the public; so that we can all benefit from the innate power we all possess to significantly change our circumstances. Now, you can learn how to program your entire self – your waking mind, your "unconscious" mind, and your spirit – to achieve any external outcome you desire. With some focus and dedicated attention – and advice from Lee Pulos – you can attain the skills you've been seeking and become more self-aware, consistent in your habits and beliefs, and create the great life you've always wanted!

Lentils with turnip and carrot by Maria Lopatova
A dear friend of mine, Masha Lopatova, shared this recipe with #lifeofthemodel while we talked about her story to success. You can read Masha's interview here. So I decided to cook it at home, and, believe me, it's good!
You will need:
- Green lentils
- Turnip
- Cloves
- Carrot
- Garlic
- Onion
- Olive oil
- Dijon mustard
- Red wine vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
First pierce a turnip with cloves (7-10 pieces). In a pan boil your lentils, onion and a pierced turnip for 20-30 minutes until half done. At the same time, chop your carrots into small chunks and put it in a frying pan together with garlic and olive oil, cook for about 10 minutes. Prepare the sauce separately. In a bowl gently but thoroughly mix some olive oil, mustard, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Take your lentils and add the carrots, mix well. Add the sauce and close the lid. Turn off the heat and leave it for about 20 minutes. The lentils will absorb the sauce. You can eat it hot or cold, either is delicious.
Bon appetite,
Anastassia Khozissova

Hello everyone,
I've successfully configured wowza and tested it too. The problem is, I have a mpts multicast containing 8 channels. I created stream files and mentioned the program IDs of channels and it successfully decodes all channels to separate streams. The problem, however, is all the channels are on single udp multicast so when i connect to the first stream fle, i get ~12Mbps bytes in, but when i connect to the second stream file, which is on the same multicast, different program id, the incoming bitrate goes up to ~25 Mbps. It's as if wowza makes a second connection to the same multicast. Same thing happens when i connect to the third, fourth stream files, the bitrate increases 3-4 fold. I also tried turning on Datagram port sharing, by editing [install-dir]/conf/Server.xml and setting <RTP>/<DatagramPortSharing> to true and restarting the server to no avail. The bitrate is still increasing.
I hope i was able to explain the issue clearly.
Please help

Fallout: New Vegas is a huge open-world RPG, set in a post-apocalyptic world that is on the brink of a political overhaul. The game is set four years after the events of Fallout 3, and follows a character known as "The Courier". The Courier is tasked with delivering a package to the town of New Vegas in the middle of the desert, and during his journey, he is robbed and left for dead. After surviving the encounter, the Courier starts to explore the wasteland around him and search for his attackers. The game is similar in style and gameplay to Fallout 3, but stands out due to its branching narrative paths and improved gameplay. When it comes to the "best modern Fallout game", there's a constant argument between whether Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas is king. While this argument is ultimately subjective, one thing is true; Fallout: New Vegas is a really, really good game.
The fundamental gameplay of Fallout: New Vegas is very similar to other Fallout titles. You explore the environment, meeting characters and discovering quests. You'll embark on a variety of adventures to new locations, looting and surviving the best you can. As you uncover the various factions and remaining groups around New Vegas, you'll have to make decisions on who lives, who dies, and who you choose to group up with. The world is teeming with various activities and stories to uncover, and a large part of the experience is discovering those things.
While the structure (and a good chunk of the gameplay) is similar to past Fallout titles, New Vegas makes some great changes in a slew of areas. For instance, new guns and armor have been added into the game, expanding the arsenal you can collect. You can also craft more goods than ever before. You can create new weapons, craft supplies, and even upgrade your existing gear. The "V.A.T.S" system has been added upon, providing additional strategic abilities and precision during combat. Leveling up your character has become more robust than before, thanks to the addition of several new perks and character abilities.
Among all these gameplay changes, it is perhaps the story changes that are the most apparent. Previous Fallout games were well known for giving their players choice, and those choices ultimately affecting the outcome of the game. This was surprisingly absent from Fallout 3, and luckily, Fallout: New Vegas brings back branching story paths in a big way. As the Courier, it's your decision on who to trust and who to keep on eye on. There are various factions around the desert area, and you'll encounter most of them as you explore. Who you choose to side with is completely up to you, but your choices have impact. Certain quests have different outcomes, some characters will treat you differently, and the game's ending will change depending on your choices. Overall, Fallout: New Vegas makes some interesting changes, but the narrative changes are perhaps the most impressive.
If you like first person shooters, RPGs, or just games that let you explore and experience the story at your own pace, then Fallout: New Vegas is right up your alley. It expands upon the mechanics and gameplay of Fallout 3 in meaningful ways, has a twisting narrative with multiple branches, and is tons of fun to play. With the slew of new gameplay additions and a plethora of quests and stories to uncover, you'll likely spend dozens of hours in the world of Fallout: New Vegas and barely bat an eye. If surviving the nuclear apocalypse sounds fun to you, then you should definitely grab Fallout: New Vegas.

Putting the customer above the money
"Put the money over the customer and you might get a sale. Put the customer above the money, and the money will eventually follow – and you are on your way to building a long-term, loyal customer relationship." So said Shep Hyken, customer service/CX expert.
You cannot over emphasise the importance of the customers' experience during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. In fact, service and product quality should be elevated during this busy time to build customer loyalty. It's an opportunity to turn one-time seasonal shoppers into lifelong buyers.
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is to sacrifice good customer service for a quick sale. I am a stickler for good customer service. I have experienced amazing service locally, and I've also experienced really bad service. The consistent thing about really good service and really bad service is that they are both very memorable.
Jenna fuchs, Director of Consulting at ideba said "a bad experience starts when something goes wrong. It becomes even more memorable when the response to the incident is poor." Here's an example –
I recently patronized a restaurant and in consuming the food I had to remove a piece of a pot scrubber from my mouth. I reported my experience to the supervisor, whose response was "next time lunch is on us. Just ask for me."
The response from the supervisor compounded the situation. It's one thing to make a mistake, it another thing to take responsibility for it. Here are a few simple things to do to avoid sabotaging your business when a mistake happens: listen and empathize with the customer. Take responsibility for the problem. Offer a heartfelt apology. Be sincere and genuine. Let the customer know how much you appreciate their business and that you are sorry for the problem. Ask what you can do to make it up to them. Do not misconstrue the complaint as a request for a freebie. Provide a tangible solution.
It's very rewarding when businesses take customers complains seriously and create tangible solutions.
