...Final Project: WAN Design Annmarie K. Stancliff IT/242 December 22, 2013 Dr. Barbara A. Lewis Final Project: WAN Design This WAN design is being created for Acme Manufacturing. Acme Manufacturing is in need of a new WAN design that is capable of managing their day to day business functions as well as having the ability to expand as the company grows. They are requesting the use of all new equipment. Other specifications that they wish to include are a system capable of grouping multiple departments logically on the network. They presently have their headquarters located in Atlanta Georgia along with their Engineering plant. They have distribution offices in Chicago, Phoenix and New York and have recently acquired a facility in China. The primary connection to headquarters from the various sites will be done through an intranet, except for China which will have to use a satellite link via the internet. Each facility will have access to the other facilities, with the exception of China, in order to be able to communicate distribution center needs as well as any manufacturing and engineering issues that may come up. Headquarters and the engineering plant will be the only ones that will have a need to be able to connect with China. The type of lines used for connection will also vary depending on the location. Within each location Ethernet wiring can handle the amount of data flow with reasonable integrity within the building structure. The lines that are used to...

...WAN Design Jason Johnson University of Phoenix: IT/242 October 1, 2014 Acme’s WAN Design With Acme’s headquarter located in Atlanta, Georgia and quickly expanding to China and then across the United States, Acme Manufacturing is a top tier company that in turn needs a top tier WAN network to help tie together it’s various locations. Along with Acme’s many other needs they also want to install a telecommunications technology like PBX or VoIP to facilitate interoffice communication. Acme Manufacturing wants to build its network on the principles of security and usability. The following is an outline of the recommendations for their WAN implementation for this company. Network Design 1. Topology The first consideration for Acme’s new network is the topology to be used. The Atlanta office serves as Acme’s headquarters and because the company is quickly expanding across the globe I believe that the star topology is the most suited for their needs. Star networks are easily expanded upon and doing so does not interrupt the other locations. Centralized administration is a strong selling point for this topology as well. A powerful mainframe computer and an array of Cisco Catalyst switches will serve as the network’s hub. Figure 1 below represents the proposed WAN topology: Figure 1- Proposed Acme WAN topology Figure 1- Proposed Acme WAN topology ATL (HQ) T1 T1 T1 PHX CHI CHINA NY ATL (HQ) T1 T1 T1 PHX CHI CHINA NY 2.

...How To Use Chopsticks Will you eat a sandwich with a spoon or use a fork to have an ice cream? No? Why? Because every food, to taste better, must be consumed using the right vessels and cutlery! Same is the case with Chinese and Japanese foods which seem to taste better when eaten with chopsticks. The origin of chopsticks can be dated back to China, around 3000 to 5000 years ago. Widely used in Japan, China, Korea and Vietnam to eat all kinds of foods, most of the chopsticks are made of bamboo while some are also made of ivory, plastic, silver and jade. They are considered as extensions of the fingers and are considered much better than spoons and forks in their usage. Although the respective Asian communities use chopsticks as effortlessly and naturally as Europeans use forks, it doesn’t really come that easily for the rest of us. Despite the fact that most of the world thinks of them as impossible feats, chopsticks actually provides your hands with a physical affinity with the food — something that our quintessential spoons, forks and knives can never boast of. Having said that, we also acknowledge that eating with chopsticks could require some training and hence the next section that talks about how to use chopsticks. Eating With Chopsticks * Clasp one chopstick between your thumb and middle finger. The chopstick must be in such a position that it is placed at the base of your thumb and at the lower joint of the middle finger. While the bottom chopstick remains intact...

...I HAVE A DREAM Good morning everyone. According to the government’s statistics, every year in Hong Kong estimate more than 5700 people died from cigarettes. It accounts for 90% of lung cancer deaths in men, and more than 30% of all cancer deaths. It kills nearly 16 persons in Hong Kong every day. 1 Since 2007, the Hong Kong government has planned to restrict the act of smoking – started with proposals to make restaurants, offices and karaoke smoke free. This legal action indicated the harmful effects of smoking. It also implied that the government was taking intervention to deal with the public smoking problem. I believe that the legislation is not a restriction of freedom, and the law enforcement is not a prevention of enjoyment, but a mean to move Hong Kong towards a healthier city. However, we have just achieved partial success. Although the number of smokers is declining, we still have a long way to go. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. All people have their right to enjoy, but, when this right endangers the safety and health of the others, it should be prohibited. So, today, we need a change. Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. I have a dream that, one day everyone can take a deep breath and feel the marvelous fresh air in a busy street. I have a dream that, one day all people can smile with their teeth in snow-white color. ...

...to the first one, and again, I fully acknowledge the Plinkett reviews as a source for me to draw from. The big difference here is that while I was more than willing to give a little leeway to The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones gets no such love. Plain and simple: this movie was terrible. The Direction First and foremost, we need to remember one big thing about the first 3 movies: only one was directed by George Lucas. The other 2 were done by directors Lucas respected (Kershner and Marquand). These movies are 100% Lucas and, in the case of Clones, he elected to direct a movie that was nearly entirely filmed against a green screen. This allowed him to do filming of characters against a blank canvas while allowing him to basically design whatever world he wanted around them. Green screens had long been used for special effects and matte fills, but hadn’t been used this heavily at this time. While Episode II wasn’t a full “digital backlot” film, there were tons and tons of shots that had actors doing their thing with nothing around them but green cloth. The upside here is that digital backlots can save a lot of money in film production since you don’t have to build sets that are either very complicated (aka “expensive”) or utterly impossible. The downside is that if your director isn’t, you know… an actor’s director, the actors all end up like they’re acting in front of a bunch of green cloth because they have nothing to act against. The backgrounds can look pretty, but...

...Star Wars Blue Ray Toshi and Allen Watch Star Wars for the first time.. Chapter 1: We kick off a special series with a first viewing of 'Star Wars' on Blu-ray What happens when 21st century kids finally watch the biggest myth of the '70s? Thursday, Sep 22, 2011 This day has been a long time coming. We all have landmarks by which we measure our lives and our accomplishments, goals you've set for yourself that you've either accomplished or not, and I'm certainly someone who holds film experiences very dear. The moment I knew I'd spend the rest of my life somehow involved in movies took place in a dark movie theater when I was seven years old, and it was one of those lightning bolt occasions. I felt pinned to the back of my chair as I watched a tiny blockade runner fleeing from a seemingly endless Star Destroyer that just kept coming out and over, more real than anything I had ever seen, and I've never wavered in my determination to be involved in storytelling somewhere, somehow. Because of the relevance of "Star Wars" in my development as a fan of storytelling in general, reaching the moment of sharing these films with my kids has been one of my primary goals since I've been writing about the entire experience of sharing narrative with my children. I know people who start screening the films for their kids as soon as they are old enough to open their eyes, and I respect that. Of course I know other people who don't think it's of any particular importance,...

...1 Analyzing Business Goals and Constraints This chapter serves as an introduction to the rest of the book by describing top-down network design. The first section explains how to use a systematic, top-down process when designing computer networks for your customers. Depending on your job, your customers might consist of other departments within your company, those to whom you are trying to sell products, or clients of your consulting business. After describing the methodology, this chapter focuses on the first step in top-down network design: analyzing your customer’s business goals. Business goals include the capability to run network applications to meet corporate business objectives, and the need to work within business constraints, such as budgets, limited networking personnel, and tight timeframes. This chapter also covers an important business constraint that some people call the eighth layer of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model: workplace politics. To ensure the success of your network design project, you should gain an understanding of any corporate politics and policies at your customer’s site that could affect your project. The chapter concludes with a checklist to help you determine if you have addressed the business issues in a network design project. Using a Top-Down Network Design Methodology According to Albert Einstein: 000200010270745975 “The world we’ve made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus...

...problems In this case, there are few cause and consequences that BMW face during their production with newly launch products and resulting in some major impacts that puts BMW in disadvantage position when competing with its competitors. One of the reason that affects the launch quality was the designing time duration. In styling, BMW took around 2 years on designing and finalize the launch products which is longest time would be spend on any automobile company. However the Japanese automobile company would likely only to spend no more than 6 month to finalize the products which is 3.5 times effective then BMW. Nevertheless BMW argues that the time were spend in this stage was essential as they have to work from creating a excellent durable design and also to ensure every single components to ensure it fits and matched into the launch products. This slow decision making process by BMW may cause few impact towards the company and even loss. According to Gilani Natasha, he state that business with slow decision making process may cause organization to increase organization cost and impedes performance. Besides that, BMW also will lost their competitive advantage towards its competitors as they could not able to produce as much variety of choice of launch products then the Japanese automobile company because of the time duration were took too long to proceed for a launch products. Besides that, BMW use to identify problems in the development process very lately and hence causes them...

Every four years we are faced with the decision to vote for the next Commander and Chief, with our economies in great ruin, unemployment at an all time low and war throughout the planet, it’s time to really face the facts of who’s really going to get the job done. One who will fight to the end to save our economy, or the one who wants to just save the people closest to his beliefs? Well that time has come, with our two running candidates General Grievous (democrat) and Wookie Chewbacca (republican). When we sit back and look into the past of these two candidates, only one stands out in the crowd as the next commander and chief “General Grievous”. According to Darth Sanwicki (2012), creator and trainer of Qymaen jai Sheelal, “The Brain of a human, body by Intel”.

As the fire discomforts his sizzling cuted legs, the fire penetrates like the swerving in a blaze of fire, raging through bones. His screams breath all sith, dark, evil, mostly machine and betrayal among the ones who trusted him. The destiny that rises from his trapped darkside, rises among the empire, a royalty of full command. The short burst of distant sobs of his, hypnotizes all but an ambitioned man not knowing what to be, choose or do;in a sudden stop, he becomes godforsaken, knowing the truth but no connotation to act upon what is real or cautious to his state of well being. Risen upward like a dead beast in a volcanic palace, his body plunders with fluorescent red eyes showing the villain he has now suited into. The surface of his residue crumble the steel bed, perishing the metallic superficial, converting it into slate. He is transported, all but the sith ways are his billow for survival.

...Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the Tweed Heads Art Exhibition. My name is Ashlea Wharley, and I would like to take this opportunity and thank you for having me today. This morning/afternoon I will be explaining my interpretation of what a hero’s journey truly is. Along with that I will be showing you this extraordinary but yet, so very time consuming work of art I have created. As you see Ladies and Gentlemen in my opinion or understanding of what a hero’s journey is; it’s best described as a typical adventure of a hero, the person who sets out an adventure and accomplishes countless endeavours on behalf of a group, tribe or civilisation. The model I have created that you see before your eyes Ladies and Gentlemen is my understanding and explanation of a hero’s journey within my idea for my related text, The Vampire Diaries. I have intentionally created a 3D construction with using a white tree metal jewellery frame. I constructed it this way because the white metal tree itself symbolises a tree of life. A tree of life ladies and gentlemen have been used in the notion in science, religion, philosophy and mythology. In this case, the tree of life can be related back to my related text on how Elena in… The Vampire Diaries gets introduced into the mythological world. You will also see there is a silver necklace with an oval shaped locket in a pink jewellery box. This necklace symbolises a locket that Elena is given in the Vampire Diaries by Stefan her Vampire boyfriend...
