Judgment of Io and Callisto
The uncompassionate nature of the mighty Olympian Gods leads to the hardships of two maidens;
Io and Callisto as described in Ovid's Metamorphosis. The struggles of both maidens; one a mortal
and the other a divine nymph are fairly similar but have subtle differences. Bothwere victims of a
sexual violence committed by Jupiter; were punished by his jealous wife Juno; were changed into
animals by the Gods. The terrible treatment by the Gods and the uncompassionate attitude of the
divine towards them is a theme shared in the two stories. Helpless, Io and
Callisto ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Throughout the two myths it is clear that the Gods have no regards for these two maiden's lives and
morals. They have an uncompassionate attitude towards Io and Callisto. As leader of the Gods and
having no one to hold him accountable for his actions, Jupiter rapes both maidens with no regard to
what the consequences his actions will have on Io and Callisto. Jupiter, seeing her there weary and
unprotected, said "Here, surely, my wife will not see my cunning, or if she does find out it is, oh it
is, worth a quarrel!?" (prior to the rape of Callisto). However,
Jupiter is not the only one who displays that same attitude toward the maidens. Juno's jealousy and
frustration in her inability to control her husband's infidelities leads her to alter Io and Callisto's
fates by punishing them for her husband's actions. She is vengeful with no regard to those she
punishes. The Gods, Jupiter and more specifically Juno display a cruel mind–set toward these
women. When Jupiter transforms Io into a heifer, she is still able to remember her former life as a
human: "she licked her father's hand and kissed his palm, could not hold back her tears, and if only
words could have come she would have begged for help, telling

Jupiter´s Europa Moon
Europa is the sixth of Jupiter's moons and the fourth largest. Europa is named after a Phoenician
princess who was abducted by Zeus and taken to the island of Crete to be his lover. Europa was
discovered by Galileo Galilei and possibly Simon Marius in 1610 and is one of the four Galilean
satellites. The others being: Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is very different from the other
moons of Jupiter. Instead of a rocky, cratered surface like Callisto and Ganymede, it instead has a
smooth outer surface of cracked ice. There are very few sign of craters on Europa. In fact, only three
large craters have been found. This indicates that Europa's surface is very young and active. In
photographs sent back by orbiters, the surface resembles sea ice on Earth. Astronomers believe that
beneath this layer of ice may exist an ocean, kept liquid by the moon's internal heat. This liquid
ocean could be as much as 30 miles deep. The existence of deep ocean vents on the ocean floor on
Earth have led some scientists to speculate that there could be a possibility of life on Europa.
Around these deep sea vents on Earth are life forms that do not need sunlight to survive. They
instead feed on bacteria that get their nutrients from chemicals seeping up from the ocean floor. This
process is known as chemosynthesis. Scientists believe that similar life forms could evolve on
Europa if a liquid ocean does indeed exist beneath its frozen surface. The most apparent features on
Europa are a series

Cisco was highly successful with its ERP implementation for many reasons. One of thereasons was
their attention to detail. They tested every aspect, and modified issues right away sothey could test
the new process. Another reason for the success was hiring KPMG and madesure to gain as much
knowledge as possible from their experienced consulting team. The 1%efforts that gave Cisco 80%
accuracy on how the application should be run was a large successbecause it made sure Cisco did
not overanalyze the ERP system and second guess themselves.One of the most important things that
Cisco did correctly was giving the their top employeesfrom all over the company responsibility to
make sure this system was implemented on time andwithout a glitch. Hiring the people that had a
"no quit" attitude allowed for the company to trustwhat needed to be done would get done. Another
important thing that Cisco did correctly wascreating small teams that followed the schedule and
worked together towards a common goal.

we grow in the future? Should we build or buy?" And with the next board meeting in only 3 months,

Should we focus on products that businesses buy? After all, that's who we sell to now. Or, should we
take our expertise in routers and switches and focus on consumer products? Finally, while Cisco is
growing 15 percent per year, that's down significantly from the 40 percent growth that we've had
since inception, save for 2001. So we need to identify high–growth markets and products that we
could design and build.
If we grow by purchasing technology firms with already established products or services, should we
stick to our knitting by buying firms with products and services closely related to our existing
business? Or should we diversify by buying firms that are very different from our basic business,
routers and switches? For instance, Cisco has the opportunity to acquire a firm that specializes in
technology security (spam, viruses, malware, and other Internet threats), an area in which it has no
experience. What's more likely to work and be less risky, buying firms with similar products or
services (like Cisco's) or buying firms with different products or services? Basically, should Cisco
move beyond its core business? Finally, if we do decide to buy firms with already established
products or services, how can we make sure those acquisitions work? Study after study shows that
most mergers and acquisitions have no better than a 50–50 shot of working. In other words, buy
another firm, try to merge its products and services and culture and

Essay Software Piracy beyond the Street Corner
Software Piracy beyond the Street Corner
On January 23, 2003, the world's leading computer networking equipment maker Cisco Systems,
headquartered in San Jose California, filed a lawsuit against China–based Huawei Technologies and
its United States subsidiaries Huawei America and FutureWei Technologies. In the lawsuit, Cisco
alleged that Huawei stole intellectual property by copying its Internet Operating System (IOS)
software and its copyrighted user manuals. Cisco also claimed that Huawei infringed on its patents.
After numerous failed attempts to resolve these complaints directly with Huawei, which included a
cease and desist letter to one of Huawei's United Kingdom distributors, Cisco decided that a lawsuit
was necessary to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Huawei also pitched the fact that any Cisco–trained engineer could operate the Quidway router with
ease. Cisco's rise to the leadership in networking equipment and technology was the result of many
years of diligent, hard work and creativity. Cisco holds several patents, copyrights, and trade secrets
that are critical to its success. Huawei, on the other hand, chose to make shortcuts and had complete
disregard for the sanctity and legality of intellectual property. In fact, Huawei's Vice President
confessed that "all the world's leading equipment suppliers are our learning modules."[1] Can
Huawei's belief in "learning" from their competitors and Cisco's belief that Huawei stole and copied
intellectual property be attributed to a differing ethical perspective due to culture? We will discuss
this in Section 3.
Cisco claims against Huawei involved copying IOS source code, copying technical documentation
and user manuals, copying command line interface (CLI) and screen displays, and patent
infringement.
Source Code/Software
Cisco's proprietary software that enables routers to interact with each other and direct traffic across
the Internet is called IOS (Internet Operating System). Huawei's competitive operating system is
called VRP (Versatile Routing Platform). Cisco claimed that VPR contains identical text strings,
bugs, and file names that could not simply be coincidental. Text strings are unique sentences
inserted into the source code by the programmer as a

Animal Domestication In Prometheus Bound
Aeschylus's play Prometheus Bound portrays the conflict between the two most powerful factors in
human life: knowledge against force or equivalently, intellect against might. Set in a world that is
conflicted between opposing political ideals of democracy and tyranny, the play characterizes the
protagonist Prometheus as the champion of man who symbolizes the rebel against the tyrant and
depicts Zeus as the destroyer of man. Prometheus, nailed to a rock on Caucasus, is at the mercy of
Zeus for disobeying his authority by giving fire–"blind hopes" or practical reason– to mankind.
Prometheus encounters the characters Io, the chorus, and Hermes, whose characterizations as well as
references to Zeus suggest whether Aeschylus's sentiments lie with Prometheus or Zeus. The play
describes images of animal domestication, fire, and bondage, which deepen Prometheus's
relationships with these characters and lend insight into the nature of all human existence,
suggesting that Aeschylus sides with Prometheus. One of the central ways through which the play's
stance on Prometheus versus Zeus and the nature of human existence emerges is through imagery of
animal domestication. Animal domestication is largely explored through the exchanges between
Prometheus and Io– the daughter of Inachus who Zeus transformed into a heifer to protect her from
Hera's anger. Prior to encountering Prometheus, Io cries out: "Son of Kronos, what fault, what fault,
did you find in me that you should yoke me to a

The turning point arrived soon. In January of 1994 Cisco systems failed. Thus the inability of the
system to perform forced towards the utilization of "unauthorized methods for accessing the core
application database" which lead to the corruption of Cisco's database. Consequently the company
shut down virtually for two days.
Seeking for a new start
After the shutdown managers realized that the autonomous approach was not sufficient. There was
the need for a more integrated action, indeed separated decisions among the departments would
have taken too long. As a result the company gathered an Implementation Team to investigate on the
replacement of the application.
Thanks to the previous experience of the SVP of manufacturing Carl Redfield it was clear that the
implementation of IT projects can take a long time to be effective. In order to make the

implementation as quick as possible Redfield suggested to implement the project all at once and to
do not personalize the new system. Projects that are divided into phases and customized tend to take
longer time to be efficient, and many times they tend to become only an adaptation of the previous
method. He suggested also to make the implementation a priority for every department: the
involvement of the entire company is important for the effectiveness of the project.
Other than selecting within the company the best components for the Implementation Team, it was
important also finding

Therefore Mr. Heal and Mr. Thomas will need to develop a joint business plan whereby both firms
can leverage the alliance without impeding on creativity, future development, or current product
offerings. A third challenge facing Mr. Heal and Mr. Thomas is the issue of a sales force that is
properly setup to accommodate the strategic alliance. On page six of the case, we learn that the HP–
Microsoft and IBM–Cisco alliances both utilized dedicated sales staff. We also learn that in Europe,
"HP used a specialized, dedicated sales force for selling HP services bundled with Cisco products."
(Page 6) In fact, Elias Stephan, who was then HP services group's global alliance director, noted that
"In Europe, the relationship with the field is much better." (Page 6) If both HP and Cisco were used
to utilizing dedicated sales staff with strategic alliances, what incentive was there for both firms to
break the trend when dealing with an HP–Cisco alliance? Page eight of the case begins to outline
some of the challenges that the HP–Cisco alliance had already faced concerning the sale of joint
products. For example, we learn that at HP, Cisco products did not count towards a sales
representative's quota and this resulted in a decline in sales of Cisco equipment by HP sales
representatives. Further, if HP or Cisco sales staff had to master not only their parent company

Callisto the Satellite of Jupiter Essay
It's easy to see why not much attention is paid to Callisto. For four hundred years,
Callisto appeared only as the fourth dot away when gazing at Jupiter through a telescope. It also
didn't help Callisto gain attention by orbiting Jupiter. Jupiter may be one of the most intriguing
objects that astronomers have yet to study. Jupiter is the king of the planets. With its complex bands
and zones, Great Red Spot, and sheer size, Jupiter has captured our imaginations and has pushed us
to learn and explore all we can about it. Now, with our Pioneer, Voyager, and especially Galileo
spacecrafts, we have uncovered mysteries of Callisto that give our minds and imaginations quite a
workout.

Either the atmosphere is transient and was formed recently or some process is currently supplying
carbon dioxide to the atmosphere (Carlson, 1999).
As the Galileo spacecraft flew by Callisto, it detected a slight magnetic field. This is explained only
through a model where Callisto has a salt–water ocean below its crust, with the magnetic field being
induced by the Jovian field (Thomas et al., 2002). Callisto's moment of inertia C/MR² is calculated
to be 0.3549 ± 0.0042. This figure is too small for Callisto to be completely undifferentiated, but it
is too large to have separated completely into a rock core, water mantle, and ice crust (Thomas et al.,
2002). The interior of Callisto is partially differentiated into six different layers; an ice layer, a water
ocean, a three–layer ice–rock mantle, and a rock–iron core (Kuskov 2005).
Constantine Thomas has created a model of the interior of Callisto called the
ONIONSKIN model because it calculates moment of inertia of a satellite based on many thin
concentric shells. The ONIONSKIN model uses 10,000 equally spaced shells from core to surface,
and then uses the summation of these figures to determine the moment of inertia for the whole of
Callisto. (Thomas et al., 2002)
The silicate rock core is the point of major uncertainty in the internal structure of Callisto.
It is related to the equation of state of rock–iron

describes some of the applications of the internet of things and the opportunities in which they will

Retail
Applications within the retails sector offer a major opportunity for business to reduce cost and
increase profit. The implementation of the internet of things will enable retailers to track their
inventory in real time. With products on shelves equipped with technologies such RFID TAGS and
smart shelves would be equipped with sensors, retailers would be able to track the movement of
products and quickly replace out of stock items. (Thomas W. Gruen, 2007)

Cisco Internal Governance Case Study
Background In 1995, John Chambers joined Cisco Systems as president and CEO. After six years
under the supervision of Chambers, the company went from generating $2.2 billion in annual sales
to $22.3 billion. As a result of the market downturn in 2001, the company suffered its first loss and
laid off 18% of its workforce. Chambers quickly realized Cisco was in need of significant
organizational restructuring if Cisco were to survive and thrive the downtown. This change shifted
the company from a decentralized firm that only focused its three work silos of Marketing,
Engineering and Sales to segregated and specific customer groups to a centralized firm that focused
on collaboration and relevant technologies for given customer groups. This ... Show more content on

Cisco was able to recognize that a centralized and functional structure was necessary in order to
avoid product and resource redundancies; however by doing so, Cisco also risked losing its
customer–centricity focus that had set it apart in the market for years. To help mitigate these risks as
well as encourage and ease the change transition, Chambers decided to implement a cross–
functional system of executive level councils. During the 2001 functional reorganization, three
cross–functional business councils were created with the goal of "aligning the organization and
driving productivity gains... while ensuring that a customer–mindset remains the company's focus
every step of the way". These councils continued to expand and improve between 2001 and 2007
(see Appendix 1). The capability to create additional capacity in the form of organization and
product expansion for Cisco was the driving force behind the internal governance system. Although
this new collaborative system increased and altered previous methods and processes Cisco leaders,
management and VP's were accustomed to, thus acting as a resisting force, the existing culture at
Cisco was such to embrace change rather than fight it. The purpose of the change was to bring Cisco

What is the cloud? Many say they are those white puffs in the sky. True, but those are not the clouds
that are referred to in the Information Technology industry. The cloud that IT professionals speak of
is a place that isn't seen but is known to exist. Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud
Drive; all different types of "cloud" storage options for securing your music, documents, and other
kinds of files. There are many different uses for the cloud in the life of a professional. Box, for

These data center switches become the Fabric Interconnect between the UCS', and those two
products combined help to make cloud storage possible. There are other companies that are using
services and products to make this happen; such as EMC and NetApp.
The cloud is increasingly becoming a very common reality in the IT industry. The idea of storing
files in places other than the hard drive of a computer or the server in the next room has opened a
door for new beginnings and unending possibilities. Many companies have IT departments that are
internal to their company. Without these IT departments many companies would have many non
working computers, networks, and other office devices that would hinder the business from making
money. The current IT infrastructure is mostly maintained and operated in–house by contracted
employees that usually have a great knowledge of general electronics and computers. Being that IT
is so important to how companies work it is always under scrutiny to continue to develop. With the
cloud in mind there has recently been talk about how IT could use the cloud to advance their efforts.
Information Technology as a Service (ITaaS) has become a new reality for some companies. The
idea is that IT organizations can use the cloud to move away from an Infrastructure platform to a
Service model.
This ITaaS model promotes IT being setup to be much more effective than it currently is. One

Radiation Exposure And Its Effects On The Earth
Dai 5 gradually travels away from the Earth. A chronic radiation exposure is the most accurate term
to describe the level of radiation astronauts have to undergo in the flight to Europa. The spacecraft
obviously does not naturally have a strong magnetic field constantly being generated by a liquid iron
core that the Earth has to shield off most of the harmful radiation. An average normal radiation dose
given to a person on Earth in one day is approximately 10 microsieverts. As indicated by the
instrument on the Mars rover during its cruise days in the space, astronauts would receive a
radiation does about 0.66 sievert in a short trip such as the round trip between the Earth and Mars.
To put this in a more quantitative perspective, the amount of radiation being received by the
astronauts is equal to the amount from CT scans on a nearly weekly basis. Since the distance from
the Earth to Europa is much greater than the distance from the Earth to Mars, such a chronic
radiation exposure is really a serious hazard to the astronauts. (Karl Tate, 2013) The good news is
that with nuclear technology in the twenty–second century, nuclear reactors along with the nuclear
propulsion device can provide long lasting energy to sustain an artificial magnetic field around the
spacecraft to shield off the radiation. This is also another reason why the spacecraft implements an
integration of solar sails and nuclear propulsion: the nuclear reactor can generate enough power to

. Copying of Command Line Interface: Cisco alleges that Huawei has copied Cisco's Command
Line Interface (CLI) and corresponding screen displays. CLI, a key component of Cisco's
copyrighted IOS software, is the user interface that enables users to communicate with the routers.
Extensive portions of Cisco's CLI and help screens appear verbatim in Huawei's operating system
for its Quidway routers and switches. . Patent infringement: Cisco alleges that Huawei is infringing
at least five Cisco patents related to proprietary routing protocols and has included these
technologies in its Quidway routers and switches. Cisco is seeking a preliminary and permanent
injunction prohibiting Huawei from using, selling, marketing, or distributing versions of their
Quidway routers and switches that infringe Cisco's intellectual property. Cisco also is seeking
monetary damages as compensation for Huawei's misappropriation of Cisco's intellectual property.
Huawei's response and claim to the lawsuit Huawei responded to the charges with a lengthy filing

Slogans have particular power in a sense of how the network from students to teachers, customers to
corporations, and ideas to people is structured and is incorporated to have a win– win situation.
(Cisco, Chambers, J. 2005). September 8, 2005 September 8, 2005 These slogans make it evident
that it is not only about the employees but it involves each and everybody who is anyhow related to
the organization. Cisco delivers the message that not only they simply try to manufacture the
technical equipment, but also builds the networks and relations between people. The slogans also
emphasize the value and importance of the Internet as the main tool for communication. Thus
operating wisely, it does not ignore people as an important part of the network and at the same time
it pursues its commercial goals by promoting Internet equipment. "Networks are all around us. They
are in our walls, in the air. At schools, hotels, hospitals, even coffee shops. Always there, always
on...This power exists today. In our routers. In our switches... . (Cisco, n.d.) This passion for
communication and human connection via network came from the very founders of Cisco. The
Cisco story began when Sandy Lerner and Len Bosack met and fell in love while students at
Stanford University in 1977. They wanted to send each other messages via Internet without bagging
up with the complicated

The Metamorphosis And The Chief Agent Of Transformations
"Metamorphoses" means "transformations" and there are many kinds of transformations throughout
the poem. In fact, nearly everything in the story is in a process of changing. People are transformed
as a result of love or hate and sometimes as revenge. Yet, so often these transformations seem
extraneous, insignificant to the main point. This paper will attempt to argue that transformation is
the main theme in the metamorphosis and the chief agent of transformations is love. As well as other
themes and moral lessons like revenge and fate. More directly, this paper evaluates the
transformations that represent the damaging nature of the excessive and exaggerated passion and its
role in developing fate.
Ovid's poem "The Metamorphoses" is an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Metamorphoses is more than a collection of stories of mythical adventures, it is a reflection on the
theme of metamorphosis or transformation. An example of transformation is in book I when Apollo
speaks unfavorably to Cupid, who shoots two arrows in revenge. The first arrow causes Apollo to
fall in love. Apollo goes after Daphne, but she rejects him. Apollo begs and insists, and Daphne cries
out to her father for help. He reacts by transforming her into a laurel tree. Not entirely discouraged,
Apollo flounders the tree. At this point, Jupiter notices a young nymph, Io, and his heart suddenly
becomes filled with lust. He then rapes her. Juno, Jupiter's wife, is fishy about their behavior and
starts suspecting something. To disturb and cast off his wife, Jupiter turns Io into a cow. But this
move makes Juno even more suspicious of course which leads her to ask Jupiter for Io as a present
and sets many–eyed Argus to keep an eye over the transformed Io. Besides the two main themes to
Metamorphoses which are transformation and love/lust, there are many reoccurring moral lessons
that we see in the metamorphosis, Fate is a lesson we learn about the gods, Fate plays a major role in
Metamorphoses, as Ovid grasps the idea that life is like a story which has already been written.
People cannot escape their destiny. Fate is a concept which both guides and weakens the power of
the gods. Mortals pray to the gods both to find out their fate, and to learn ways of avoiding it. At

Io Research Paper
The Io Volcano Observer (IVO) is one mission under the New Frontiers program planned to launch
on May 29th, 2021 and reach Jupiter by 2026. Led by Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona,
it is focused on observing one of Jupiter's satellites, Io, which has been deemed one of the best
satellites for studying tidal heating and the histories of terrestrial planets due to its active volcanic
surface. The aforementioned tidal heating is directly correlated to the habitable zones of planetary
systems and, thus, could help us better understand how a planetary system becomes habitable and
which planetary systems, aside from our own, currently are. IVO also plans to understand the
interior structure of Io, particularly the melting fraction of the magnetosphere. Furthermore, the

interactions with Io, and perhaps place tighter constraints on whether or not Io has an internally
generated magnetosphere" (McEwen). However, if the payload is increased, there is the possibility
for the inclusion of a wide–angle camera, a second INMS, a contributed NIR spectrometer similar to
that of JIRAM in the Juno mission, a deployable boom for FGM, an energetic particle detector, and
a student built dust–detector. One may argue that a previous mission, Galileo, has already achieved
all that IVO is intending to achieve and makes another mission unnecessary. However, IVO is
expected to collect 20 GB of scientific data per encounter, which is nearly 100 times the Galileo
mission received. Similarly, IVO is expected to only receive less than 10% of the ionizing radiation
dose as Galileo. Lastly, as mentioned before, the technology on IVO is much more advanced than
that found in Galileo and, therefore, will give not only more information but more detailed

Using Vlan And Vpn Network ( Virtual Local Area Network )
Introduction: The devices on one or more LANs can be configured to communicate as though they
were directed connect referred to as VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network). They are located various
geographical areas. Since VLANs are taking into account intelligent rather than physical
connections, they have a great degree flexible. VLANs characterize broadcast domains in a Layer 2
network, in which the broadcast domain is the arrangement of all devices that will get broadcast
frames which originates from any device inside of the set. Broadcast domains at time have
limitations by routers that don 't forward broadcast frames. Layer 2 switches broadcast domains
regardless of the setup of the switches. Switches permit one to make numerous broadcast domains.
Every broadcast domain is similar to a particular virtual bridge inside of a switch. [1]
VLAN–VPN highlight is a basic yet flexible Layer 2 and it labels private network packets with
external VLAN labels allowing the data to be transmitted both inward and external VLAN labels.
Implementation of VLAN and VPN Access: the VLAN–VPN allows packet with a VLAN tag, the
device will label the packet with the default VLAN tag of the receiving port and add the source
MAC location to the MAC location table of the default VLAN. If the packet transports a VLAN tag,
the packet turns into a double labeled packet. Then the packet turns into a bundle conveying the
default VLAN tag of the port. [2]

On looking through the resistance to Cisco's growth Solvik (Cisco's CIO) really wanted to put
something new in place. Going with new ERP system was still in a confused state for Cisco. Slovik's
denial for an ERP system was clearly seen. Instead of that he was very much interested for
individual application for all the functional area and thought of given them to decide on this. Cisco's
tradition of standardization was always kept in mind and hence Emphasis was given to the use of
common architecture and databases. From the case given it was clearly seen that functional areas
were responsible for the budgetary decision on IT expenditures while the IT organization directly
reports to Solvik. The IT won't do anything unless they ask for something new. Also Solvik was
concerned about the complexity of mega ERP implementation projects. All this were the concerns
raised at the early stage and yes was very much required for the company to land up with a safe
decision. All this discussion comes under picture due to the malfunctioning of the legacy system.

Some other additional benefits of this virtual environment are: * Employee's knowledge can be
totally discovered. * Permanent communication between among areas. * Instant screen

Q3 * What types of communication are integrated within Sametime's digital environment? What
type of communication is missing? Does it make a difference? * Reciprocal – it goes between two or
more people changing rolls. * Linguistic and extra–linguistic – People communicate through key
board (chatting) or using some familiar codes. * Private and public – The communication inside the
company can be private when it occurs between two employees or public when it goes to everyone
in the organization. (In fact, it is not totally private because the conversation can be followed for the
database system.) * Formal – The messages use a formal code according to the organization
policies. * Horizontal and vertical – It can occur in a same range people or from boss to assistant.
What is missing here is the physical or interpersonal communication. It can make the difference
because when people talk they express a lot of feelings. The main advantage is that employees will
not realize if the other one is tired or in another bad situation.

These limitations of the OS were not a problem for networking operating systems like Juniper's
JUNOS and others that emerged ten to twenty years after Cisco IOS. Cisco's response to the
problem was to develop a newer version of the IOS dubbed IOS XR which boasted memory
protection between processes, pre– emptive scheduling, lightweight threads, and the ability to
independently restart failed processes. Cisco IOS XR uses a third party RTOS or real time operating
system microkernel called QNX and big part of the current IOS code was re–written to take full
advantage of the features offered by the new kernel. One thing about the microkernel is that it
removes for the kernel all processes that not one hundred percent required to be ran by the kernel, it
then runs them similar to the application processes. Through this method, IOS XR is able to
availability needed at a high demand desired for new router platforms. In 2005, Cisco introduced the
IOS XR for the Cisco 12000 series platform (Wikipedia, 2013) . The following year Cisco released
IOS modularity which extended on the QNX RTOS microkernel into a more traditional IOS
environment, but still provides the software upgrade capabilities that customers need and want.
Cisco IOS has proven itself vulnerable to buffer overflows and other problems that have caused
headaches for the operating system. The IOS needs to know clear text passwords for certain uses so

Ciarlone say in a statement "One of the first things that Juniper realized was that, due to Cisco 's
monolithic pricing, smaller businesses were being shut out of high–end networking almost entirely"
(Ciarlone). He goes on to say that using Juniper products are great for small to medium sized
networks. Cisco has moved up to higher tier networking and thus their equipment has upped in price
as well (Ciarlone). Juniper is aimed at not only the big networking side but also heavily caters to the
small scale network side. The devices range in different tiers of price and ability. The biggest
difference has to be the price in the products. The price of a product can make or break a company's
network infrastructure; not all companies can budget themselves for the greatest network
infrastructure. Jim Duffy compares and contrasts these two networking giants and points out many
differences, Jim goes on to quote Jeff Doyle, the president of IP consultancy Jeff Doyle and
Associates saying "The reality is, IOS is pretty old. [JUNOS] was architecturally designed
differently. It 's more modern and modular, meaning bug fixes are easier and functional failures tend
to be not as impactual as they are with as IOS." (Duffy). The modularity of Junos is what makes it a
cut above the rest. Junos has a modular OS, Junos uses separate module to do the specified

before. He discovered the moon isn't perfectly globular, it has craters, the Sun has sunspots, Venus
orbits the Sun (contrary to widespread belief in his time), and then he observed four "stars" around
Jupiter ("Our Solar System"). Within ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Anne Helmenstine states, "The snow is red due to the presence of Chlamydomonas algae" ("Colored
Snow"). It could be possible the algae here on Earth is linked to the red ridges seen on Europa. Also
seen on the surface of Europa are eruptions of water vapor. Fecht writes about the Hubble images
relating to the geysers:
Analysis of Hubble ultraviolet–light images of the moon from 1999 and 2012 suggest that
subsurface water sprays out of the moon's south pole in two geysers that are 124 miles (200
kilometers) high, according to the study led by planetary scientist Lorenz Roth of the Southwest
Research Institute (SWRI) in San Antonio, Texas. (2013)
This could mean that there is water underneath the surface of this moon, but what else lies beyond?
Doppler tracking data obtained during four flybys done by Galileo (spacecraft) past Europa exposed
the moon's axial movement of inertia, suggesting a partial compression of material in the direction
of Europa's epicenter. Three–layer models created by reasonable arrangements propose that Europa
contains an outermost water (H2O) layer and has a density close to 80 to 200 kilometers thick, a
middle layer of a silicate rock mantle, and maybe a biphasic material (Fe–FeS) metallic core.
Models created without a metallic core are steady with the data but need high silicate densities.
More credible models have a metallic core thirty to fifty percent of Europa's radius in magnitude and
a silicate mantle

where large, complex and expensive instrumentation are needed to perform eye examinations and
provide accurate results. The team performed extensive research and concluded that apple camera is
good fit for the research. Understanding the compatibility

Essay about The Journey to the Center of Jupiter
The Journey to the Center of Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and the 5th planet from the Sun. It is a very unique
and interesting planet. Its famous 'Red Spot' and raging gas storms give it a cool look. Jupiter is an
outer planet and a gas giant. Most gas giants have many moons and are surrounded by a set of rings
or a thin disk of small particles of ice and rock. Like all gas giants, Jupiter has a thick atmosphere
made up of mostly hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is much larger than Earth. You can fit about 1,300
Earths into Jupiter. The great red spot is a storm larger than Earth, which is pretty incredible. Also,
Jupiter reflects many shades of white, red, orange, brown, and yellow. The colors of Jupiter change

It actually a high–pressure storm that has been in Jupiter's southern hemisphere for at least 400
years. The Great Red Spot rotates counter–clockwise (and makes a full rotation every six Earth
days. Some people believe that the Great Red Spot is shrinking but we are not sure. Scientists are
also not sure where the reddish color comes from. The most popular theory says that the color may
be caused by complex organic molecules, red phosphorus, or other sulfur compounds. The Great
Red Spot varies greatly in color, it goes form brick–red to pale salmon, and white. As you can see
Jupiter's atmosphere is very interesting and we still have a lot to learn. The main moons of Jupiter
are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Simon Marius & Galileo Galilei discovered them in 1610.
Jupiter is gas giant and has many moons. Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system.
It looks like a huge pizza covered with melted cheese dots of tomato and ripe olives. To our surprise
there are active volcanoes on Io as well as lava flows, lava lakes, and giant calderas. Io orbits closer
to Jupiter's cloud tops than the moon does to Earth. Another moon is Europa. Europa is the 4th
largest moon and was named after a "Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus and taken to
the island of Crete to be his lover. Zeus took the form of a white bull and coaxed Europa to climb on
his back as he swam off to Crete." Like many other moons, Europa is caught by

II. Bibliography
xACME summary
The trade school in the Springfield region has developed and implemented a WAN link to integrate
with all sites as follows: Worchester, Boston, Sacramento and Los Angeles, for better
communication purposes. The expansion of their networks has come with some difficulties in
communicating from one region to the other, due to their IP address scheme, leading configured
networks are not functioning as they should. However, xACME wants to upgrade and exchange
their network infrastructure to became more efficient and more productive for all users.

Vlans are also capable of isolating and warning others of infected routers, letting the administrator
of the IT team to carefully take action into the scene before it infects its users.
Site technology and solutions
I choose the devices needed for the new implementation: Cisco Catalyst 6500 router and 2800 series
four switches will be utilized. Here is the cost of effective access switches that are capable of
VLAN, DTP, DHCP, RSTP, PoE, and furthermore, price can range from $1,400–$3,500 dollars
each. These switches offer integrated security including network control and quality service, they
also offer redundancy to provide and deliver intelligent services for a networking edge. Therefore,
they include flexibility in the routing series as increased port density which could induce a rapid
growth in networks without any additional cost at any time. However, the more capacity a device
may have the more beneficial it will be to the administrator user, when setting up any secure
measures throughout the configuration process of vlans and networks. The network accessibility will
be ensured throughout the provision of redundancy of routers throughout the xACME network on
each site or trade school. Although, optic fiber cables will be used to connect all layer 2 and 3
switches and servers, spanning tree protocol will be set on switched to address to eliminate any
bridging loops from entering into any
