What is Lightroom For?
While working at a youth event last weekend I had some downtime while the attendees went to their workshops. So, I brought along Scott's Lightroom Book to keep me occupied. As I was reading, and enjoying the funniness (it's a word!), I got a couple of questions from people about what Lightroom is and what it does. So, for the uninitiated, I thought I'd share a little bit about what this cool new program is.
Lightroom was designed with photographers in mind to act as an organization, processing, and output tool for your digital photos. With Lightroom's Library Module you can import your photos, organize them into collections, rate them, apply keywords for easy searching, and separate the good from the not-so-good. In the Develop Module you can apply all of your processing from adjusting your white balance and exposure to fine tuning color to converting to black and white to applying a split tone and edge vignetting. From there you can export your images into a variety of formats, create a slideshow, publish a web gallery, and print.
While you can do some small touch ups - like fix red eye, crop and straighten, and limited cloning and healing - LR is not meant to be a one-stop-shop for all of your imaging needs. You don't have the manipulation tools that Photoshop offers, but then again, that's not what Lightroom is for. Lightroom is built to be your digital darkroom not your design platform. It takes the processing power of ACR, the organization of Bridge, the ease of the automated web photo galleries, and gives it all some extra umph! and elegance. It's definitely not a replacement for Photoshop, but once you get your hands on this fabulous imaging tool you'll see just how powerful it is and how quickly it will become central to your digital photography workflow.

Language of Innovation
In order to make Meaning out of disparate piecemeal events, the language to string together the phenomenon has to be different than the data points. Innovation is a non linear thought project; real time, fresh, with a appreciation of history of what can work and what could be skipped. Demand orientation makes time, the most … More Language of Innovation

The FPA recently published a new report on sustainable packaging, A Holistic View of the Role of Flexible Packaging in a Sustainable World. FPA commissioned PTIS, LLC to provide a holistic view on the sustainability benefits that flexible packaging offers; provide foresight into future sustainability implications for flexible packaging; and develop six LCA case studies comparing flexible packaging to other packaging formats across a range of products.
The report focuses on the segment of the industry that adds significant value to flexible materials, usually by performing multiple processes such as printing, laminating multiple layers, and adding coatings, all of which aid in performance of the material, improve the consumer/user experience, and/or extend the shelf life of the product. It focuses on the U.S. perspective, though global data and context are utilized to provide a broader picture and looks at the current state for flexible packaging, while also providing foresight into potential future implications. To download a copy of the report, click here.
FPA developed a fact sheet to help summarize the key findings of the report. To download a copy of the fact sheet, click here.
The flexible packaging industry produces innovative, sustainable packaging that offers significant value to product manufacturers, retailers, and consumers. As a leading voice in the sustainable packaging movement, the Flexible Packaging Association has committed significant resources to support flexible packaging sustainability. Through its ongoing research and initiatives, FPA provides a greater understanding of the environmental advantages and benefits of flexible packaging among consumer product companies, retailers and consumers.

text: Percy Keese Fitzhugh (1876-1950) was an American author. His first known work, The Goldenrod Story Book was published in 1906. The bulk of his work, having a Boy Scouting theme, revolves around the fictional town of Bridgeboro, New Jersey. Characters included Tom Slade, Pee-wee Harris, Roy Blakely, and Westy Martin. Fitzhugh's Scouting based books were very popular with children and adults. His characters became so real to his readers that it was not uncommon for Percy to receive fan mail addressed to the characters themselves. In the 1930's, as the popularity of Fitzhugh's Scouting stories began to wane, he began writing the Hal Keen Mystery Series (10 titles) under the pseudonym Hugh Lloyd. They were followed by another mystery series - Skippy Dare - (3 titles). Neither of these series achieved the popularity of his earlier Boy Scout work.

Fred Locks sails again
When Fred Locks recorded Black Starliner in 1975, Jamaica was caught up in a wave of black consciousness and it seemed only natural that he record a song addressing repatriation to Africa. On his new EP, Rich Already , the veteran roots singer also takes on issues affecting the country.
Rich Already contains seven songs including the title track and a "Nyahbinghi/dancehall" update of Black Starliner. All are produced by Diavillan "Dia" Fearon.
Fred Locks said he enjoyed the sessions with Fearon who has previously worked with dancehall and roots acts such as Bounty Killer and Alex Marley.
"Him very creative 'cause none a di song dem sound alike. Dia is a good musician an' him very versatile," he told the Jamaica Observer.
Some of the songs, like Your Beautiful Black Skin and Dem Lost, look at skin bleaching and the multimillion-dollar highway project taking place in the Three Miles area of Kingston. They were done live which Fred Locks prefers since he was weaned on recording with musicians.
"Nowadays, a lotta di producers want yuh write a song an' then yuh record pon a riddim which I don't really like. With this project is not a lotta big musicians but is big music," he said.
Fearon and his father Dennis "Jah D" Fearon on keyboards, guitarist Clinton Rufus of The Gladiators and bassist Andrew "Andrew Bassy" Campbell, are the established musicians who worked on Rich Already. Drummer Eric Samuels, percussionist Trevor Forsythe, and guitarists Barry Jones and Paul Crawford also contributed.
Fred Locks (born Stafford Elliott) is a survivor of the 1970s roots-reggae movement that was led by legends like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear. Though Black Starliner is his signature, he retains a loyal following with other Rasta anthems such as I've Got A Joy and So Jah Say.
In a 2012 interview with the Observer, Fred Locks said he co-wrote Black Starliner with Owen Goode in 1968 after reading a Twelve Tribes of Israel pamphlet about Pan African leader Marcus Garvey, who was a vocal advocate for black repatriation to Africa. At the time, the singer was a member of the harmony trio, The Lyrics, who recorded at Studio One.
Unlike many of his contemporaries who bemoan lack of airplay for their current songs, Fred Locks is not overly concerned about airplay.
"Wi getting some play, is good music wha' mi know di people will love once dem hear it. Dat's all I can sey," he said.

Lawn Edging
About Edging & Fencing
Landscape edging tools and border fences can help define and refine your backyard and outdoor spaces to truly impressive effect. These handy tools can even keep your plants and edibles safe from cute but problematic garden pests like bunny rabbits, deer and even overly-rambunctious kids.
Shop Ace Hardware today to find edging and fencing supplies for your backyard and garden areas. Use the search tool to sort by category, price, featured items, top-rated products and more.
Create Your Outdoor Space
Lawn edging can do a lot when it comes to creating an outdoor space that looks well-maintained and purpose-designed. Using lawn edging and landscape fencing can be a little confusing for many novice buyers though.
Use these tips from Ace Hardware when shopping for the right lawn edging:
- Consider which materials will look best on your property. Lawn edging comes in a variety of materials like natural stone, including fieldstone and flagstone. Cedar and other natural wood edging varieties are also available.
- Think about the height of your edging and use a tape measure to find out what's right for your space. Lawn edging ranges in height from about 4" to 20" or more.
- Purchase the right length of edging for your outdoor space. Measure and mark your lawn before shopping to ensure you get the right amount needed for installation.
Helpful Hint: Consider easy-to-install edging options if you're taking on a lawn edging project alone. If you have a large yard, edging can become a big task that can get overwhelming in a hurry.
Give Your Garden Style
Your garden might be home to beautiful, colorful flowers and delicious, edible fruits and vegetables, but when it comes to visual appeal, garden borders and edging can add that little something extra you've been looking for.
Use these tips to choose the right garden edging for your backyard oasis:
- Choose a garden border fence that is the right height for your specific area. Garden edging typically comes in heights between 12" and 18". Make sure your garden edging doesn't block low flowers or plants from view.
- Use natural stone or wood lawn edging for large vegetable gardens or areas with flowers. These create a natural pathway and space for gusts to admire your garden area.
- Consider white picket fence garden edging. This classic style will look great in almost any setting, from traditional homes to more contemporary garden areas.
- Add mesh fence borders to keep small animals like rabbits out of your fruit and vegetable gardens.
Picking the right landscape edging and garden border fence can turn an average space into a truly stunning one. Shop Ace to find a variety of choices to suit your needs, décor and budget.

South Asian nation to sign agreement to aid 260,000 citizens working in Gulf state
Sri Lanka is set to sign a memorandum of understanding with Kuwait to protect the rights of migrant workers in the country.
The agreement would cover the estimated 260,000 Sri Lankans employed in the Gulf state which has been criticised in the past for its treatment of foreign workers, the Indo-Asian News Service reported.
According to Sri Lanka's Bureau of Foreign Employment, there were 14,704 complaints in 2010 alone for breach of employment contracts, non-payment of wages, physical and sexual harassment.
A quarter of its total foreign workforce of eight million works in the Middle East.
The majority of them are women and unskilled workers, working as housemaids in oil rich nations.
"There are 260,000 Sri Lankans employed in Kuwait, of which 75 percent are female workers," Sri Lanka's cabinet spokesman Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena was quoted as saying.
The MoU is similar to those already signed with the governments of UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan on the employment of migrant workers, he said.
In January, agreements were signed in Kuwait and Bahrain in a bid to give Nepalese overseas workers better protection.
Kuwait has 40,000 Nepalese workers, with more than half of them female domestic workers, while the majority of men work in the construction industry.
Nepal's largest employer is the Gulf states, where families depend on making money overseas, but the rapid expansion of migrant labour has taken place without formal protection of workers' rights.
In 2010, the US State Department urged Gulf countries to scrap their sponsorship system for migrant workers that leaves labourers and domestic workers exposed to human trafficking and forced labour.
In a 373-page report, the department said that employers in the Gulf states exploit the widely used 'kafala' system to abuse workers and named Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as the region's worst offenders.
Good decision, hope this will implement without further delay…..!

Although it's made as a love letter to the movies and antifascist freedom, "The Moon and the Stars" feels stilted and irrelevant. Directed by vet Brit helmer John Irvin with a fraction of his former energy, pic is classic Euro-pudding, with a strange Blighty overlay on a saga about a struggling film crew making a non-operatic version of "Tosca" at Cinecitta Studios. Though English-language script by Peter Barnes, plus a cast led by Alfred Molina, Jonathan Pryce and Catherine McCormack, was intended to help world sales, the pic's best hopes are with cablers and vid.
The Italian-English-Hungarian co-production comes off as a phony attempt to recapture the interesting, misunderstood period of Italo filmmaking under Mussolini. The only truly fascinating aspect is how the fictional film crew –Italian producer Davide Rieti (Molina), Hungarian director Lazlo Molnar (Andras Balint), German actress Kristina Baumgarten as Tosca (McCormack) and Brit thesp James Clavel as Scarpia (Pryce) — reflects the production's own multinational nature.
Popular on Variety
With winds of war stirring in 1939, project is treated by everyone involved as an escape from real-world pressures, which Davide especially experiences since he's cash-strapped, Jewish and gay — the worst kind of triple-whammy in fascist Italy. Davide keeps a young lover, rising screen heartthrob Renzo (Rupert Friend), and casts him in a prime supporting role opposite Maria Grazia (Surama De Castro), while Kristina takes her assignment seriously, and alcoholic and addictive James is there strictly for the money.
Barnes' dialogue overdoes the obvious point that Kristina and James rep European poles that are destined to go to war against each other.
Indeed, script's consistent problem is its proclivity for turning potentially complex human beings into symbols. Thus, Davide's identity crisis and need to have a fascist patron in Annibale (Ivano Marescotti) make him the standard conformist, while Molnar — who works at his own pace, spouts liberal ideas and begs to shoot one nude scene — is the artist as libertarian.
As filming proceeds, Davide's money problems grow so grave that he must use his painting collection as collateral, and antifascist set decorator Marchesini (Ignazio Oliva) is beat up in front of the film crew by brownshirt thugs.
Kristina is dogged by a ridiculous young man (Niccolo Senni) who nearly burns down the set and ends up triggering an unintentionally kitschy re-creation of Davide's painting depicting Marat's suicide. Image is telling, for while the pic means to celebrate filmmaking as a creative, civilizing act, it's tone-deaf to its own lack of taste, wit or drama.
A stiff "Masterpiece Theater" variation of the kind of awkward Euro production most memorably depicted in Godard's "Contempt," "Moon" almost never captures what moviemaking is really like, and a final sequence of the crew in marathon all-night mode is plainly false.
Pryce and McCormack are unable to make their barely budding romance credible, while Molina stands out as a good man trapped by forces far beyond his control. Largely Italo support struggles with heavily Anglicized dialogue.
In opening sequences, pic displays the Cinecitta property as extensively as Antonioni did in "The Lady Without Camellias" and Visconti did in "Bellissima," but, unlike those two directors, Irvin shows little interest in using the grand set piece cinematically.
Disappointingly, Irvin allows few fun glimpses of other productions at the busy studio founded by Mussolini two years prior to the action — a home for the period's popular "pink telephone" pics and hyper-nationalist epics. Production values are blah.

Recently I had to talk harshly to my daughter about the responsibilities of family members. Although I would like to think of it as a scolding, all parents of teenagers know that there is no such thing. There are only fights. But it got me thinking about the responsibilities, rights and privileges of family members.
Category Archives: Work and Life
My thoughts on corporate life, work-life balance or the lack thereof and so on.
Analytics SME
It has been a couple of weeks since I posted anything on Unreal Blog. This short hiatus in my posting activity was for a good cause. I just launched a new company called Analytics SME.
Data to Wisdom
When it comes to the amount of intelligence and experience required, we have a clear hierarchy from data to information to knowledge to wisdom. What we get from raw observation are just data points. We apply some techniques of aggregation, reporting charting etc. to arrive at information. Further higher level processing in revealing interconnections and relationships will give us condensed and actionable information, which we can consider knowledge. But to arrive at wisdom, we need a keen mind and years of experience, because what we mean by wisdom itself is far from obvious. Rather, it is obvious, but not easily described, and so not easily delegated to a computer. At least, so I thought. How could machines bridge the gap from data to wisdom?
Ants and Grasshoppers
The allegorical tale of Ants and Grasshoppers is often used to drive home the inevitable connection between handwork and success, as well as laziness and hardship. Or between talent and riches, indolence and penury. Here is another story that may run contrary to this message.
Why Have Kids?
At some point in their life, most parents of teenage children would have asked a question very similar to the one Cypher asked in Matrix, "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?" Did I really have to have these kids? Don't get me wrong, I have no particular beef with my children, they are both very nice kids. Besides, I am not at all a demanding parent, which makes everything work out quite nicely. But this general question still remains: Why do people feel the need to have children?
Bhagavad Gita
Among the religious texts of Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita is the most revered one. Literally presented as the word of God, the Bhagavad Gita enjoys a stature similar to the Bible or the Koran. Like all scriptures, the Bhagavad Gita also can be read, not merely as an act of devotion, but as a philosophical discourse as well. It presents a philosophical stance in understanding the world, which forms (for those from India) the basic and fundamental assumptions in dealing with life, and the unknowable reality around them. In fact, it is more than just assumptions and hypotheses; it is the basis of commonsense handed down from generation to generation. It is the foundations of intellect, which form the instinctive and emotional understanding of reality that is assimilated before logic and cannot be touched or analyzed with rationality. They are the mythos that trump logos every time.
Aging Mind
I used to have a pretty sharp mind, particularly when it came to simple arithmetic. I think age has begun to dull it. Case in point: recently I had to check a friend's pulse rate. So I felt his pulse for 15 seconds and got 17 beats. At that point, I wanted to call out the heart beats per minute. And at that point, my mind suddenly went blank. It started going through this chain, "Ok, I got 17 for 15 seconds. So what is it for a minute? It should be, what, 60 seconds over 15 times 17. Hold it, where is my iPhone? I need a calculator. No wait, it is 17 for a quarter of a minute. So 17 times 4. Where is my calculator, dammit?!" Granted, it was a slightly stressful situation. But this is not at all the way my mind used to work.
Income Inequality
I read on BBC yesterday that the richest 62 people in the world now earn as much as the poorest half, which would be about 3.5 billion people! Although there is some confusion about the methodology, it is clear that the wealth and income have been getting more and more polarized. The rich are certainly getting richer. Income inequality is more acute than ever.
Arguments Against 9/11 Conspiracy
I haven't heard many concrete arguments against the conspiracy theories except those based on the belief that the government wouldn't do it, and some emotional ones. The latter boils down to name-calling and accusing the conspiracy theorists of insensitivity, lack of compassion for the victims and their loved ones, lack of patriotism etc.
9/11 – Too True to Tell
It has been a while since I posted a new article in this series on 9/11. Recent terror events have made it unpalatable to dwell on the 9/11 conspiracy theme. Nevertheless, one has stand up for what one believes to be true, even when the stance is unpopular. So I will press on with the series, and wrap it up with two more articles, despite the warning from a friend that I will never be able to visit the US again without risking a lengthy interview at the airport. Or worse. However, some truths have to be told, even when they are too true.

Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) - canopy - September 2017
This mature Strawberry tree can be found in the church grounds of St Michael & All Angels in Alpington, Exeter, UK. === The strawberry tree is a beautiful small evergreen tree or shrub that can occasionally reach 9 metres tall and 8 metres wide, though it is usually rather smaller. There are several named forms and some of these are no more than 2 - 3 metres tall. A very easily grown and trouble-free plant, it does best in a nutrient-rich well-drained moisture-retentive soil in sun or semi-shade. It also grows well in heavy clay soils and in dry soils. Most species in this genus require a lime-free soil but this species is fairly lime tolerant. Especially when young, it prefers a fairly sheltered position and dislikes cold drying winds. It is, however, surprisingly tolerant of strong winds if they are not from the cold northerly and easterly quarters and can succeed in fairly exposed positions near the coast. This is a very good tree to grow in towns because it tolerates industrial pollution. The plant is hardy in most parts of Britain and has withstood temperatures down to at least -16°c without injury when grown in suitable conditions, though young plants would usually be killed at temperatures as low as this. Because they resent root disturbance, it is best to plant them out into their final positions as soon as possible. It is probably, therefore, a good idea to give them some protection from the cold for their first winter or two outdoors if the weather is very cold. The strawberry tree produces masses of beautiful white flowers in November and December. Since the fruit takes 12 months to ripen, the tree carries both mature fruit and flowers at the same time and is then incredibly beautiful. This is a superb plant to grow as a specimen in a lawn, and it also grows very well on the sunny edges of a woodland garden. === Other common names: strawberry tree cane apple Dalmatian strawberry Killarney strawberry tree === Arbutus unedo's fruits have a high content of sugars (40%), and antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, niacin, tocopherols, and organic acids that are precursors to omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (nearly 9%). They are edible fresh, but that is an uncommon consumption, especially because the mature fruit tends to bruise very easily, making transportation difficult. They are used mostly for jam, marmalades, yogurt and alcoholic beverages, such as the Portuguese medronho, a type of strong brandy. Many regions of Albania prepare the traditional drink rakia from the fruits of the plant (mare or kocimare in Albanian), hence comes the name of the drink "raki kocimareje". In order to reduce the high content of methanol in the drink, the spirit is distilled twice. The flowers are pollinated by bees, and the resulting honey is bitter tasting but still prelibate. Arbutus unedo's leaves have been employed in traditional and folk medicine in the form of a decoction having the following properties: astringent, diuretic, urinary anti-septic, antiseptic, intoxicant, rheumatism, tonic, and more recently, in the therapy of hypertension and diabetes. The leaves are reported to have a high concentration of flavonol antioxidants, especially quercitin, best extracted with a decoction, and together with the fruits are a source of antioxidants. The leaves also have anti-inflammatory properties. The wood is quite hard and well suited for a various uses such as fire wood and to make pipes. Since it doesn't usually grow straight, it is not well suited for construction or similar uses. The tree is also grown as an ornamental plant, because of the nice looking and smelling of the flowers and the fruit, the interesting presence at the same time of fruits and flowers on the plant and because it is an evergreen. It is used as a single or multi-trunked ornamental tree, and as a specimen or hedge shrub in gardens and public landscapes.

Orthodontic treatment is highly predictable and immensely successful. Depending on the severity of the malocclusion (bad bite) or irregularity, orthodontic treatments may occur in either two or three distinct phases.
The benefits of correcting misaligned teeth are many. Straight teeth are pleasing to look at and greatly boost confidence and self esteem. More importantly, properly aligned teeth enhance the biting, chewing and speaking functions of the jaw. There are several types of irregularities, including:
The Phases of Orthodontic Treatment
Generally, orthodontic treatment takes between six and thirty months to complete. The treatment time will largely depend on the classification of the malocclusion, the type of dental devices used to correct it and the perseverance of the patient.
Here is a general overview of the three major stages of treatment:
Phase 1 – The Planning Stage
The orthodontist makes an exact diagnosis in order to realign the teeth in the most effective and expedient way. The first several visits may comprise of some of the following evaluations:
Phase 2 – The Active Phase
All of the above diagnostic tools will be used to diagnosis and develop a customized treatment plan for the patient. Next, the orthodontist will recommend custom orthodontic device(s) to gently move the teeth into proper alignment. This orthodontic appliance may be fixed or removable. Most commonly, traditional fixed braces are affixed, which utilizes individual dental brackets connected by an archwire. Lingual braces are also fixed, but fit on the inside (tongue side) of the teeth to make them less visible.
Removable devices are an alternative to fixed braces. Examples of removable devices include the Invisalign system, headgear and facemask. These devices are designed to be worn for a specified amount of hours each day to expedite treatment.
Whatever the orthodontic device, the orthodontist will regularly adjust it to ensure adequate and continual pressure is being applied to the teeth. It is essential to visit the orthodontist at the designated intervals and to call if part of the device breaks or becomes damaged.
Phase 3: The Retention Phase
When the teeth have been correctly aligned, fixed braces and removable devices will be removed and discontinued. The most cumbersome part of the orthodontic treatment is now over. The orthodontist will next create a custom retainer. The goal of the retainer is to ensure that the teeth do not begin to shift back to their original positions. Retainers need to be worn for a specified amount of time per day for a specified time period. During the retention phase, the jawbone will reform around the realigned teeth to fully stabilize them in the correct alignment.
If you have any questions about orthodontic treatments, please contact our office.

I took my elderly mother to Dr Epakchi on 11/11/14 because she had two teeth that were in bad shape.. He was very caring and compassionate with my mother ( she suffered a head injury 4 years ago and I was scared she would be agitated but she was so calm with Dr Epakchi I was impressed by his way with her) . He proficiently removed the teeth without causing her pain nor agitation, I as impressed by his manner,
He did an excellent job and was thorough in explaining what would happen. My mother healed quickly and beautifully.
He did not overcharge, his price was fair.
His staff were all very sweet and pleasant I highly recommend Dr Epakchi.

text: Westeros #1 Posted October 24, 2010 We announced yesterday that Academy Award-winning composer Stephen Warbeck had been selected to score HBO's Game of Thrones. We've now been tipped to the that at the Ghent Film Festival this past week, Warbeck was featured in a film composition seminar and a panel with other noted composers, including Angelo Badalamenti and Howard Shore.While no video of that seminar did exist, it did lead us to find a terrific one-on-one video interview with the composer posted just three days ago, created by CuttingEdge.be (who have a number of good interviews with filmmakers on Youtube). The interview covers everything from Warbeck's home life (he lives on a farm) to his work process, his good (and bad) experiences, and ... his upcoming projects, including a film with Kenneth Brannagh and "a 10-part thing" for HBO. Wonder what that could be…. ? ;) We'll start the video at that point (the 19:30 mark or so), but the whole thing's worth listening to.As additional material, here's another interview conducted some time after the release of the soundtrack for the film Proof, which probably means it's a few years old.Visit the Site!

Step 1: Identify Core Layer Requirements
a. Use word processing software to create a new document called "Core Layer Diagram."
b. Use the identified topology and associated equipment to determine Core Layer design requirements.
Design requirements for the Core Layer network include:
High-speed connectivity to the Distribution Layer switches
24 x 7 availability
Routed interconnections between Core devices
High-speed redundant links between Core switches and between the Core and Distribution Layer
c. Brainstorm with other students to identify areas that may have been missed in the initial requirements
Step 2: Create an Access Layer module design
Using the list developed from the group discussion, create an Access Layer module (design only).
a. Create your design using the existing equipment.
The FilmCompany network equipment includes:
2 x 1841 Routers (FC-CPE-1, FC-CPE-2)
3 x 2960 Switches (FC-ASW-1, FC-ASW-2, ProductionSW)
1 x ADSL Modem for Internet Access
b. Using the list of equipment, identify modules that can be added to the existing equipment to support
new features, such as redundancy.
Step 3: Select Core Layer devices
a. Use word processing software to create an addition to the Core Layer Diagram document.
b. The identified Core Layer module diagram will be used to adjust the Distribution Layer design.
Equipment selected must include existing equipment. Use Layer 3 devices at the Core Layer in a redundant configuration.
c. Save your Core Layer Diagram document.
Step 4: Design Redundancy
a. Use word processing software to create an addition to the Core Layer Diagram document.
b. Design a redundancy plan that combines multiple Layer 3 links to increase available bandwidth.
c. Create a design that incorporates redundancy
d. Save your Core Layer Diagram document.
Step 5: Reflection / Challenge
The design strategies for the FilmCompany pose many challenges for the designer. What were a few of the more difficult challenges you encountered?
Consider and discuss the identified strategies. Do all of the strategies designed accomplish the task the same way?
Would one be less expensive or less time-consuming than the other?
• Apakah peralatan yang ada mampu menangani lalu lintas jaringan yang diusulkan? Jika demikian, bagaimana? Jika tidak, mengapa?
• Apa perangkat yang dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti Layer 3 switch? Dapatkah perangkat tersebut memberikan kinerja yang sama?
• Apa kelemahan potensial untuk diagram yang diusulkan?

Some students reach the middle grades unable to read grade level text effectively and with understanding. These students need to be identified (typically, students who are two or more grade levels behind in reading) and provided with intensive intervention. This toolkit provides resources for screening all students and identifying those with significant reading difficulties. A separate toolkit has been devoted to the design and delivery of intensive interventions.

Who Can Do My Chemistry Homework For Cheap?
If you are struggling with your chemistry homework don't ask who will do it for you. That defeats the purpose of learning and even assigning homework. Instead look for ways you can improve yourself.
Did you just find out that you have a big project due soon? Are you worried about studying?
There is no need to panic. You can get all of your work done quickly and with confidence by following the steps below:
- Start your studying early
- Plan Time to Study
If you have a big assignment and you know it is coming up then it is important for you to start your project early. You want to start with good note taking in class whenever a discussion takes place that might relate to your project. It will enable you to recall more details if you hand write key facts while you are listening to a lecture or reading your school textbooks. If there is something you missed feel free to ask your teacher to review it.
Make sure that your notes are organized and that they are simple to read later. Sloppy work that you cannot read later will do you no good. If you are rushed in writing things down you can always go back while the content is fresh in your mind and rewrite them in your spare time so that they are nice and neat.
When you start to study consider how much time you need to give each of your assignments. By knowing roughly how much time you have to devote to each topic you can stop yourself from becoming overwhelmed quickly.
If-for example-it is Monday morning and you realize that come Friday you will have three tests then you should determine how much time you have to devote to studying between now and those tests. Figure out how long the tests are going to be and how much you will need to know. One test might be a short vocabulary test while another may be a long history test. That means you should set more time aside to study for the long history test compared to the short vocabulary test. You can break up the amount of time you want to study into small amounts you can cover each night.
This is referred to as "chunking". It is a technique that students can apply to big assignments. If you have a big history test that will cover ten specific battles that occurred during WWII you can break down your studying into small chunks each of which covers one or two battles.

The Trump stock market rally: Don't thank Trump
When Donald Trump won the White House 12 months ago, the stock market took off. And the president often takes credit for that. In a recent tweet, he attributed the ongoing rally to "great confidence" in his administration's policies.
The truth, though, is that the president -- indeed, any president -- has only limited powers to affect the market, which is driven more by corporate earnings and economic forces.
"In the first few months" of Mr. Trump's presidency, said Garrett Oakley, a financial planner with online financial adviser Betterment, investors were excited about Mr. Trump's ambitious plans for tax cuts and huge public works projects. "But that became priced in," meaning the thrill faded after nothing happened and investors turned elsewhere for inspiration.
To be sure, post-election rallies aren't exceptional. In the 12 months after Mr. Trump's 2016 victory, the S&P 500 rose 21.1 percent, LPL Financial research shows -- putting his initial year in third place behind John F. Kennedy in 1961 (up 28.4 percent) and George H.W. Bush in 1989 (21.7 percent).
The rally predates the Trump presidency
Indeed, with a few hiccups, the market has been on an ascending trajectory since March 2009, at the outset of Barack Obama's administration, and the so-called "Trump bump" is the just latest leg upward. Stock valuations, as measured by the 12-month forward price-earnings multiple, have been "roughly constant for the past two years," said Nicholas Atkeson, a founding principal of Delta Asset Management.
Oddly enough, Mr. Trump's lack of legislative success may have helped the market, said Jeffrey Sherman, deputy chief investment officer at DoubleLine Capital. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, he noted: "Markets don't like change. And for that I'll give the president credit that he really hasn't changed much thus far, at least when it comes to financial and fiscal policy."
The tax cut promise has had little impact
The House GOP tax plan, endorsed by the Trump White House, proposes immediately dropping the corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 35 percent, which is one of the highest among major economic powers. However, getting a tax plan through Congress is a Sisyphean task. The stock market slid Thursday on fears that corporate tax cuts will be delayed until 2019, a feature of the just-announced Senate Republican plan.
Michael Underhill, chief investment officer at Capital Innovations, has charted four times in the past 12 months when a tax bill generated a lot of news coverage -- and each time, stocks climbed. But when that attention faded, the upward momentum did, too.
The market's advance is led primarily by tech stocks. Perhaps Mr. Trump's goal of luring back corporate cash stashed abroad by lowering US tax rates has heartened tech investors -- a lot of that offshore money belongs to tech titans like Apple (APPL).
Trouble is, no one can be sure that the Republican tax plan, which contains a provision to repatriate the overseas cash, will pass. The GOP's failure to repeal Obamacare earlier this year seems, to many, a harbinger for the party's legislative prospects.
What if the tax plan fails? "A tax cut is built into current prices," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at research firm CFRA. "If no tax cut occurs, we'll see that the market is overvalued by 10 percent, and there could be a correction," with stocks falling that amount.
Federal policy appears to have little or no effect lately on market leaders
There's compelling evidence that Mr. Trump' proposals are of marginal relevance on Wall Street these days. Taking the top 10 performers in the S&P 500 this year, CNBC commentator Jim Cramer said Wednesday on his "Mad Money" program that Washington developments were divorced from their rises.
Semiconductor maker Nvidia (NVDA), for instance, has seen its shares double in price in 2017, amid high demand for its chips from the burgeoning data center business. In its third quarter, the company reported Thursday, earnings rose 54 percent.
Or take aerospace giant Boeing (BA). It has had a stock boost of 67 percent this year, as it delivered a record number of commercial airplanes. Its third-period operating earnings were up 18 percent. While Boeing benefits from Mr. Trump's planned military expansion, Cramer highlighted the company's surge in commercial orders, the bulk of its business -- with some, to the president's dismay, coming from Iran.
Perhaps the market as a whole has benefited psychologically from the perception that Mr. Trump has a more business-friendly administration than that of his Democratic predecessor. He has eliminated or softened numerous regulations. Still, as Delta's Atkeson pointed out, while "removing some regulatory burden by executive order, it's almost impossible to quantify the effect of this."
And looming over everything is Mr. Trump's low public approval rating, which threatens to lessen his ability to get his agenda passed.
Strong earnings, not Washington, are propelling the market
The earnings picture is heartening, and it's corporate profits that classically power stock prices. Earnings growth, according to research group FactSet, should keep climbing, with an estimated 5.9 percent in the recently completed third quarter, 6.2 percent in the fourth, then 6.4 percent and 6.3 percent in 2019's first two periods. "The market this year has been an earnings story, not a Trump story," Delta's Atkeson said.
The boost in US corporate earnings stems in large part from the pickup in global economic activity. The early-2016 resurgence in oil prices, after a painful two-year slump, did much to spur commodity prices in general, a boon to emerging markets. Europe appears to have pulled out of the debt crisis harming its southern tier: Spain, Portugal, Italy and above all Greece. Even long-suffering Japan is coming back to life.
Presidents often take credit for bull markets and strong corporate profits, but any fiscal policies they enact -- and Mr. Trump hasn't enacted any yet -- take a while to kick in. Aside from lower taxes, the second big Trump proposal, an infrastructure build-out, appears to be shelved for now. And presidents have no control over monetary policy, which is the province of the Federal Reserve.
Stock are rallying worldwide, which has nothing to do with Mr. Trump
After Thursday's pullback, the S&P 500 is still ahead for the year by 15.5 percent. But numerous foreign bourses eclipse it -- for example, those in Italy (up 18 percent), India (25 percent), Japan (20 percent) and Brazil (21 percent).
As president of the US, Mr. Trump obviously has little say in how foreign investors act. But the overall takeaway is that this year's robust equity picture is a global phenomenon that no mere mortal, even the world's most powerful person, can control.

According to Ellyn Bader, differentiation can be defined as the active, ongoing process of defining self, expressing and activating self, revealing self, clarifying boundaries, and managing the anxiety that comes from risking either more intimacy or potential separation.
There is an uneasy tension which exists between a couple's desire for intimacy and connection, and the natural gravitational pull toward individual growth and self-actualization. After all, personal growth of some sort is always happening. Effective couples therapy balances a couple's need for both attachment and differentiation while navigating the predictable whirlpools and riptides that threaten to engulf each partner with more of exactly what they don't want to deal with.
Attachment tends to occur readily at the threshold of commitment, but sustaining it over time is fraught with peril.
In my internship at the Pioneer Valley Center for Couples Therapy, I studied the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. In the Developmental Model, an effective differentiation stage is considered essential to sustaining vitality in a relationship.
But efforts toward differentiation (called "practicing") are often perceived by the less differentiated partner as a profound threat. Fear of rejection and abandonment often frustrate these early attempts at differentiation. Often the notion of "I gotta be me" is a dire threat to the partner who prefers to say "we gotta be we."
Unfortunately, many relationships sputter and stall at this stage. Many couples slide into an emotional gridlock of hostile dependency or conflict-avoidance. American cultural norms are somewhat hostile to differentiation, as our conception of marriage tends not to support the notion of healthy interdependence for both partners. Early attempts at differentiation can feel like being a circus acrobat without a net!
In the Developmental Model, differentiation is seen as a healthy and necessary process. But what are the therapeutic tasks?
Effective couples therapy will help partners to:
This process can be messy. A marriage in the throes of early differentiation can be a three-ring circus. Partners will often release the jungle beasts of their own wants, needs, and desires at the expense of what their partner can readily accept, tolerate, or manage. "Not my circus… not my monkeys," says the threatened and reluctant partner!
Importance of Differentiation
In a healthy marriage, is essential for partners to avoid compromising on their bottom-line core values and beliefs. This can be tough to achieve at first. But to effectively deal with the fundamental 69% of what Gottman calls "unsolvable problems," a healthy hard-won sense of differentiation will allow a couple to negotiate effectively, developing a more resilient ongoing intimacy that respects and manages differences
It is a risky, acquired taste. The lower the level of differentiation, the more likely one partner will tend to:
One caveat. Attention all narcissists. A callous and overbearing stance by one spouse without regard for their partner is not differentiation.
Differentiation can only be fully realized and sustained within an interpersonal crucible.
Differentiation begins when a partner is able to mindfully appreciate two distinct realities at the same time. They see their own reality as well as the reality of their spouse. And doing this means risking "safety", facing tension, and managing anxiety.
Are you struggling because you think your partner wants to run away and join the circus?

Today I'm noticing how authors carefully avoid over-use of the word, "said," in conversations between characters. As I circle the "said" substitutes, I'm becoming more aware of the possibilities and the whole exercise becomes a reading adventure.
So far I'm reading:
asked, argued, taunted, corrected, hinted, sighed, teased, muttered, giggled, snorted, blurted, exploded, demanded, objected, called, added, hissed, grimaced, whispered, screamed, and murmured … and the list goes on.
Hmm … what beginning writers think about! — A simple lesson in defining the speakers in fictional conversations.
I thought this lesson was more positive than my delving into the awful things that cows really eat these days. Yes, I found this in a young adult book at the bookstore. As much as I wanted to stop off at a hamburger joint yesterday, I kept getting visions of cows living off the weirdest stuff like the guts and brains of other cows, plus concrete dust. Yuk! How disgusting.
Now I wonder if I would be better off eating my words today than the non-food items in my local grocery store. While the author ponders this deep question, she hopes you will focus on the important word, "said," and its many possible replacements.
Ps. In a future post I'll give credit to the author of that fascinating book about disgusting things that animals eat. I think you might enjoy the enlightenment, or not!

About Archetypes
Astro Archetype Stuff
Archetypes - General Info in laymen's terms
Archetypes are found everywhere and so they're used in many different ways. The average person has archetypes embedded in his or her thinking and this detail is what forms stereotypes. Essentially, stereotyping is 'seeing archetypes,' noticing archetypes and how certain kinds of similarities in people generally mean they are a certain type of person.
Archetypes are most common in literature and storytelling. The writings commonly said to be Shakespeare's works contain limited archetypes and these are repeated all throughout Shakespeare's works. The archetypes have certain functions and work because the known function and symbolism associated with the archetypes is known between Shakespeare, actors who perform Shakespearean works, presenters who read Shakespeare's works and the audience who watches Shakespearean plays, listens to presenters or reads Shakespearean literature.
The archetypes used by Shakespeare are quite rigid, but they need to be so that their symbolic presence is understood by a number of people.
Basically an 'archetype' is a 'model' of a character. I'm using Shakespearean archetypes on this hub because the archetypes of Romeo and Juliet are well known examples that most people are familiar with - whether they're interested in literature studies and education or not.
More on Archetypes
Archetype: Ill Fated Lovers - Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare's archetypes, Romeo and Juliet, are archetypes called "The Star Crossed Lovers" or the "Ill Fated Lovers." These characters represent specific things such as Doom in their relationship. Their relationship is 'star-crossed' and the individuals are not in control of it. The stars are fate and fate controls Romeo and Juliet's relationship.
Most people think this means that the relationship was ill fated because Romeo and Juliet came together. People familiar with this story in a contemporary way often believe that if the two personalities could pick other people, they'd both live, both be happy but the star-crossed fate attached to the situation and these personas controls everything about them. They've had no choice about the matter. Fate brought them together and fate is also their undoing. The "star-crossed" descriptor here is interesting, implying astrological powers brought Romeo and Juliet together.
As well known archetypes, Romeo and Juliet are still being analyzed. Even after hundreds of years, people still find value in examining these characters and discussing them. The archetypes, however, are NOT Shakespeare's original and pure inventions. The characters and their qualities, the families they're attached to, etc., are the inventions of the writer Shakespeare, but the archetypes existed in the pairing of Cupid and Psyche from the Greeks and Romans even farther back in history.
That last part is just a little tidbit. The author known as Shakespeare has likely used the Cupid and Psyche model to design his Romeo and Juliet. The qualities of the individual archetypes have remained pretty close to the same. Some people more familiar with Greco-Roman literature will think of Cupid and Psyche when they recognize a scenario and character qualities that remind them of star-crossed, ill-fated lovers. Others who are more familiar with Victorian literature and Shakespear will naturally think of star-crossed, ill-fated Romeo and Juliet when presented with some scene or situation where it appears two young lovers are doomed in their relationship.
Basically, archetypes are condensed collections of qualities in a character, set in a quite a rigid structure, and these qualities and the structure are able to be broadcast to large groups of people so that many understand and can recognize the archetype qualities and structure. Without certain qualities, a character becomes like the archetype but not the archetype itself. This doesn't imply an inferior character, either - the archetype structure is there for us to have something symbolic and structured to use for comparisons.
Things about Romeo That Might Shock You
Romeo is not an ideal 'dude' if you examine the archetype and character closely. You might have to abandon 'modern notions' of Romeo to study him closely.
He's not really a cool guy, when you really think about his personality and qualities. He's not very levelheaded, he has anger management problems - in fact, he is murderous in his anger...need I continue?
Romeo's not an ideal person...he's an archetype of an ill fated lover. He's not an ideal lover, either. He's the archetype for the star-crossed lover. The idea of romantic love that we understand from Romeo's speeches below Juliet's window are MOST of what people take away from a viewing or reading of Romeo and Juliet. In reality, our modernized thoughts about how this scene is so romantic overpower our own logic skills in our present day. We are missing the point that what Romeo is doing wasn't necessarily intended to be seen as romantic, happy-feeling love.
What Romeo is experiencing, by all proofs in the text of Shakespeare, is a painful, unhealthy, lovesick feeling. So bad that he violates many rules, including the words of his elders (we assume that his family has coaxed him to stay away from Juliet - these would be his family (loyalty vows), his elders (elder respect and loyalty), and friends (class distinctions and rules).
Our heartsick buddy, Romeo, is a rule-breaker, a law breaker and is emotionally unstable...The main point most modern explanations MISS about Romeo's serenading of Juliet while he's outside and she's at her window is that THEY ARE FORBIDDEN to see each other and Romeo is the most active breaker of rules in the situation.
How it is that people in modern times often ONLY associate Romeo and Juliet with love and Romeo with Juliet at her window as a "romantic situation" is still puzzling to me. The archetypes of Romeo and Juliet are far more complex and symbolic of a wider range of things than just the romantic yearning and Romeo's midnight visiting activities.
Hub Challenge Hub #4
This lens is part of a March 2010 Hub Challenge I'm doing. I started March 1 and have a personal goal to publish at least 60 hubs over the month of March.
To check out how I'm doing, see my challenge hub, link below:
This hub is part of a series on "Archetypes" and the series will contain no less than 5 "Archetype" topic hubs once my Hub Challenge goal is realized.
Mythbuster, good luck with your hub challenge. That's a bit extreme, when I only average 12-14 hubs a month. This was a helpful and useful hub on archetypes, especially for reading and writing. Voted up!
This seems less about archetype definition and more a beautiful analysis of Shakespeare. As far as the active archetypes present, it sounds like you're describing an attraction between an Ares (protector/gladiator) and Persephone (maiden/rebellious daughter) type. I liked the mention of the star-crossed lovers referencing some celestial movement. Kinda makes me think of a villainous Perseus a bit.
Hi mythbuster,
This was a very interesting hub. Many people don't realize how many archetypes can be recognized, or take what Joseph Campbell calls "The Hero's Journey. Luke Skywalker from Star Wars and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz first turned down the call, and later took the challenge. It's neat stuff and an interesting hub!
I couldn't have said it any better... I love how you think outside the box. I believe the term Romeo is often over rated. But in all fairness, I think if you find a man who you love so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with, then he may be romeo enough for you!
I liked this and rated up.
I definitely think archetypal thinking is helpful and can reach a wide audience as you say. But archetypes can be quite fluid depending on the author. Great job at looking at Romeo by the way. You seem to manage to break that tendency we all have to overlook the faults of the protagonist.
I hadn't really been aware of archetypes until I took some on-line writing courses and was introduced to the book "The Writer's Journey" by Christopher Vogler. Having got away from fiction attempts lately I've kind of forgotten about them.Your view is interesting.I can understand the love-sick concept because they were very young, as I recall.

It's been three years since they said it would be over in three months.
It's been three years since I wasn't warned to bear the brunt.
It's been three years since I couldn't munch-crunch on brunch-
Only ever wanting to confront the bunched up grunts with a punch,
And a punt in their scrunched up guts.
But I was too weak – too tamed to maim the brains I blame,
For my guts lacerated like a hollow candy-cane.
So all my aggression, depression, pressurized this compression,
That I prayed would turn my lump of coal into a diamond – that's my confession.
Kept tryin' to turn it into a positive,
But I'm positive – it sure was causative.
The result was no diamond. I'm jaded.
My 'care-free' faded. My Mr. Brightside shaded.
And to not be angry at the God who forgave me;
I hope He'll save me from these drugs I keep taking.
'Cuz I know that I'm destined for more than monthly injections,
For this lower intestine.
And you know I'm bestin',
To alchemize this jade into perfection.
It's predestined progression- not even a question of reaching succession.
I'm working to the top.
Until then- can't stop.
