...always many factors that will impact the VPN server performance and stability. There is never a one size fits all solutions to any problem. There are many pros and cons that need to be considered. Two performance factors are the load balancing and software configuration. (Jain, S., 2006) While two stability factors are computer programs/equipment and location. (randomwire.com, 2010) In load balancing, the performance is as important as redundancy. NLB can be used to run multiple running RRAS servers if you fall short on one single machine. VPN test done by a third party on Windows 2000 show single tunnel packet forwarding at 70 Mbps for PPTP and the max tunnel test at 5000 tunnels. It is a cheaper computing speed and has a better offload card which allows better results. The second performance factor is the software configuration. These encrypt settings, compress software, enable and disable NAT, affect the utilization of the CPU and don’t impact much as they are control path application that only take up the CPU at times. (Jain, S., 2006) Firewalls and cheap routers often prevent the VPN from reaching maximum stability. Even when the firewall is not blocking the VPN, it may be spending too much time on investigating every packet that infiltrates the network slowing down the network flow. Therefore, it is important to allow the configuration to be unhindered. It is equally important to turn on/off the SPI as this will stop the VPN after a few minutes of use because the...

...(portrayal of gender and masculinity) This essay examines the visual representations of working-class masculinity portrayed in Stephen Daldry‟s stage musical adaptation of the film Billy Elliot (2000). After a brief discussion of the portrayal of the male ballet dancer in the dancing scene since the 1990s and the inherent voyeuristic inclinations of contemporary audiences, the analysis will focus on five aspects of male presence in Billy Elliot the Musical (2005). The dynamics of working-class masculinity will be contextualised within the framework of the family, the older female, the community, the self and the act of dancing itself. These aspects will be referenced using reviews of the musical version of the work and articles written on the film of Billy Elliot. However, have today‟s audiences conditioned their gendered gaze to allow for the male ballet dancer to dominate the contemporary stage? Or do we still control our social perceptions and cultural associations with out-of-date images of the past? Have popular perceptions about the male ballet dancer changed? Is there a birth of a new male dancer phenomenon? However, have today‟s audiences conditioned their gendered gaze to allow for the male ballet dancer to dominate the contemporary stage?

...centered over her feet, with the stirrup leathers perpendicular to the ground. Continuing a line upwards from the stirrup leathers, the head and shoulders fall in front of the line, as do the knees, the hips fall behind it. A correct jumping position gives the horse the freedom to jump the obstacle, allowing it to keep the forelegs and hind legs tight, thereby decreasing the chance of a rail down or a fall. It also provides the rider the support needed to stay out of the horse's way while still maintaining a secure seat so that the horse is less likely to fall on landing. The problem I have is that I look down when going over the fence. This could hinder my performance as I would have less chance of knowing where I was, and also it may affect my overall position. EFFECTS- consider effects on both technique and overall performance CORRECT TECHNICAL MODEL – make a direct comparison between your technique to that of an elite performer. Named Elite performer:- Ellen Whitaker Having watched Ellen Whitaker perform a round of show jumping, showing the jumping position over every fence and compared her to myself, I can see that I look down instead of up and forwards, the way I’m heading. Ellen performs the jumping position perfectly, her legs stay nice and bent and powerful. She folds her body forward at the hips, but not too far forward, as doing this would put most of your weight over the front on the horse and may cause the horse to fall or trip when landing. She also gives her...

...The industry has high barriers to entry. Companies have economies of scale that it requires a large amount of capital to buy the equipment. Existing companies have cost advantages that they have higher reputation in the industry. People tend to choose a high quality performance since the tickets are expensive.

...are well qualified. In the article the writer gives us an insight to what is like to be in an HR department that now uses the web in order to find their employees and how frustrating it can be to get all these resumes that do not match the position you are trying to fulfill. Opower (company featured in this article) struggled to narrow down their choices and actually ending up hiring the applicants, although they did use some sort of incentive the people working in HR to do their best with compensations ex. 1000 dollars to the referring employee of the referral being hired. Compensation or retribution is one of the 7 c's that where mentioned in one of the outside readings, which talked about how to hire great employees and keep their performance being outstanding at their new job. What I noticed in the article is that Opower focused more on hiring personnel and making sure it performed well one they had a job by putting them to work as much as they could. But the root problem is that they were not considering the right criteria to hire them like being competent capable most important compatible to the new environment because if an outside star can not adjust well to their new environment, chances are that they wont be as bright or at all in their new position. Opower should be more cautious in the personnel selection and analyze the utility that the future employee has to the company. But before hiring just because they look great on paper they should make sure to give them...

...Different Types of Folk Dances Itik-Itik The best description of the Itik-Itik is that the steps mimic the way a duck walks, as well as the way it splashes water on its back to attract a mate. According to popular tradition, the dance was created by a lady named Kanang who choreographed the steps while dancing at a baptismal party. The other guests copied her movements, and everyone liked the dance so much that it has been passed along ever since. Tinikling The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines' national dance. The dance's movements imitate the movement of the tikling bird as it walks around through tall grass and between tree branches. People perform the dance using bamboo poles. The dance is composed of three basic steps which include singles, doubles and hops. It looks similar to playing jump rope, except that the dancers perform the steps around and between the bamboo poles, and the dance becomes faster until someone makes a mistake and the next set of dancers takes a turn. Sayaw sa Bangko The Sayaw sa Bangko is performed on top of a narrow bench. Dancers need good balance as they go through a series of movements that include some impressive acrobatics. This dance traces its roots back to the areas of Pangapisan, Lingayen and Pangasinan. Binasuan The Binasuan is an entertaining dance that is usually performed at festive social occasions like weddings and birthdays. Dancers carefully balance three half-filled glasses of rice wine on their heads and...

...Josh M Darling 9-27-13 MGT386-002 Diary 3 1.) What did you do this week? /What Happened? This week I stopped posting flyers about my $10 business. I received more business calls than I really had time for. I had a lot of people asking about the flyers and generated quite a bit of business from people I already knew with dogs. I had a total of 10 customers this week and had to buy a new $7 bottle of dog shampoo. 2.) What did you think about this week? I felt like this second week went well because I had 2 return customers along with 8 new contacts and generated a weekly profit of $93 ($100-$7 for the shampoo). Time was a big issue this week; I am taking 28 hours and have little free time. It was hard scheduling appointments because of the nature of my business. Going to people’s houses and performing a service generally calls for you to be on the client’s time, the same goes for most service industries. 3.) What will you do next week? Next week I will try and make more time for the business. I will not make any more attempts of advertising until I come up with a better way to schedule appointments, and or just leave the rest of advertisement up to WOM. I will also again follow up with the clients I had this week asking if they would like for me to come and perform my service again or at least at a bi-weekly rate. I also plan on incorporating nail clipping next week and making new prices. (10$ basic wash, $20 deluxe wash, groom, nail) 4.) Did you...

...CONCERT CRITIQUE Constructive Critique of Your Choir’s Performance: -What are (minimum) three (3) constructive criticisms that you can make of the performance of each of the pieces your ensemble performed? While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks 1. I think because the sopranos were missing three people (handbell), the sopranos were not very strong compared to the other parts. 2. The sopranos also did not really have great posture during the first song. 3. I think that have both alto and soprano for the echo parts were much more over powering than the mens. The Christmas Song 1. At the end of phrases the notes sounded flat to me. 2. We should have worked more on the crescendos, to give more depth to the song. 3. We also should have worked on the tricky notes, such as when the sopranos sing, “every child is going to spy”. The Manger of Bethlehem 1. Breathing was defiantly hard for this song, and we took breaths in places marked no breath. 2. Although this song was well sung, giving it more crescendo would have gave it more depth. 3. The guitar and flute was not really heard over all our voices. :( Hodie 1. We could have used more forte when singing Gloria in excelsis deo four times. 2. When we fist came in, I felt that men where to weak. 3. Sopranos could have projected their voice more, for the last “Hodie”. -What are (minimum) two (2) things that were done well in each of the pieces your ensemble performed?? While...
