This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/879,047, filed Jan. 8, 2007, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/901,673, filed Feb. 16, 2007, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety for any purpose.
The present disclosure relates generally to network systems and, more particularly, relates to method and system for network data transmitting.
In communication systems a network node (or so called host) can allocate its ID or address statically or dynamically. In a static configuration, users need to acquire an available address in advance and manually configure the address. In contrast, in a flexible multi-hop environment, such as the type described in IEEE 802.16j, it is not reasonable for operators or users to perform manual configuration. Another choice, dynamic configuration, allows a node to configure its ID or acquire an ID from a centralized server dynamically. In a typical dynamic configuration scheme, all node IDs are assigned randomly, and additional routing algorithms or routing tables are required in order for nodes to exchange or maintain additional routing information and to decide routing paths.
Two examples show utilization of routing tables. U.S. Pat. No. 6,192,051 discloses a multi-level tree data structure in a centralized routing table and in distributed forwarding tables for forwarding network packets. Each level of each structure is associated with a different field of a network address appearing in received packets. U.S. Pat. No. 6,934,252 discloses binary network address lookups using parent node information stored in routing table entries. Variable length prefixes are stored in a network address forwarding table. Each prefix corresponds to an entry in the forwarding table. Each entry in the forwarding table includes path information regarding parent nodes of each entry in the binary tree.
Node identification may be performed without maintaining a routing table. U.S. Pat. No. 6,618,755 discloses a software facility for automatically identifying subnets in a network by a range of addresses within the network represented by nodes in the network. The addresses each include an ordered series of a fixed number of bits.
A prime factorization method to represent nodes of a network and groups between nodes is described in US2006/0198320, as well as in IEEE C802.16j-06/171. In the forwarding process of this method, a receiving node needs to factorize the ID number of the packet received to determine where to forward the packet. Another method is described in IEEE C802.16j-07/048r6, which relates to a contiguous integer block routing method, in which a network node identifies the integer block of a received address to determine where to forward the packet or if it should drop the packet.
In one exemplary embodiment consistent with the present disclosure is a method for transmitting data in a network. The method comprises forming a logical tree topology by connecting a root node and one or more child nodes among a plurality of nodes in the network; generating a node ID for each of the child nodes by a N-carry operation of a determined number N, and transmitting data by utilizing the generated node ID of the child nodes.
In another exemplary embodiment consistent with the present disclosure is a communication system. The system comprises a plurality of communication nodes interconnected to form a network, and a root node and one or more child nodes are connected among the plurality of communication nodes to form a logical tree topology; each of the child nodes having assigned thereto a node ID generated by a N-carry operation of a determined number N; and wherein data is transmitted by utilizing the assigned node IDs of the child nodes.
Yet in another exemplary embodiment consistent with the present disclosure is a communication node in a transmission-receiving group of a network, the network including a plurality of network nodes and the transmission-receiving group including at least one transmission node and at least one receiving node. The communication node comprising: at least one memory to store data and instructions; and at least one processor configured to access the memory, and when executing the instructions, configured to: transmitting a communication data by utilizing a node ID, the node ID is being assigned by a N-carry operation of a determined number N.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.
In a communication system environment, data could be transmitted among a transmitting-receiving group of plurality of communication nodes through a transmitting-receiving path from a first level transmission node to its first level receiving node or subsequent levels of receiving nodes. As an exemplary example, a logical tree-based topology may be formed a network including a plurality of nodes by designating one of the network nodes as a root node, and one or more other nodes as child nodes among the plurality of nodes of the network.
Each of the child nodes in a kth child level of network 200 is assigned an identification ak for each parent node to identify this child node, where identification ak could be any number. During an implementation stage, identification ak could be an integer greater than or equal to 0, and less than or equal to N, N is a determined number. N may be pre-defined to any arbitrary number or to a maximum number of child nodes connected to each of the plurality of nodes of the tree topology. In some implementation, the determined number N could maintain by the system dynamically. Furthermore, identification ak may be assigned by a random sequence or sequentially. In one example, identification ak of each child node may be assigned according to a sequence in which it becomes associated with its parent node.
As illustrated in
In another exemplary embodiment consistent with the invention, the identification ak each of the child nodes of node S could instead be assigned a number selects within 0 to N−1, for example, identification ak of node T is assigned as 0, identification ak of node U is assigned as 1, . . . , identification ak of node Y is assigned as N−2 and identification ak of node Z is assigned as N−1. In this example, the identification a1 of 1st child level is assigned from 1 to N−1, and the determined number N is 2i, where i is an integer equal to or greater than 0.
The root node or at least one of some other nodes with control capability or a child node may store information to generate the node IDs, and manage data forwarding or network configuration. For example, such information may include: the determined number N, a maximum child node number of a parent node in a logical tree topology, an integer i in the implementation of N=2i, identification ak of the child node, the child level k of the child node, a set of identification {a1, a2, . . . , ak-1} along a parent-child path from the first child level of the root node to the child node, and a maximum child level H of the logical tree. Other information or parameters could also be provided, and the kind of information to be stored optionally depends on the implementation.
Embodiments of the present invention may be practiced in any network communication system. For exemplary purposes, in the following paragraphs, multi-hop relay networks are described as exemplary communication systems to demonstrate data transmitting algorithms for generating a node ID in a communication network environment in which there is a determined number N of nodes, wherein the node IDs are utilized to transmit data.
The node ID of each child node may be generated by a 2's carry operation, as explained in the following paragraphs.
Network 300 is configured to have a logical tree topology including a MR-BS root node 302 having five child levels. The first child level contains child nodes RSA(a1=1, ID=1), RSB (a1=2, ID=2) and RSC(a1=3, ID=3). The second child level contains nodes: RSD(a2=0, ID=4) which is a child node of RSA, and RSE (a2=0, ID=12) and RSF(a2=1, ID=13) which are child nodes of node RSC. The third child level contains the following child nodes of RSD: RSG(a3=0, ID=16), RSH(a3=1, ID=17), RSI(a3=2, ID=18), and RSJ(a3=3, ID=19). The fourth child level contains three child nodes of ode RSI: RSK(a4=0, ID=72), RSL(a4=1, ID=73), and RSM(a4=2, ID=74). The fifth child level contains four child nodes of node RSK: RSN(a5=0, ID=288), RSO(a5=1, ID=289), RSP(a5=2, ID=290), and RSQ(a5=3, ID=291).
In the configuration of network 300, i=2 so that the determined number N=2i of child nodes is 22=4, the maximum child level H is 5, and the identification ak of each of the nodes of the first child level (k=1) is a sequentially assigned integer from 1 to 3. Relative to each parent node, the identification ak of each of the nodes of other child levels is a sequentially assigned integer from 0 to 3 in this exemplary example.
With reference to
Referring again to
The operation of assigning identifications of the child nodes could be an N-carry operation.
By use of the illustrated node ID assignment embodiments, during a data routing process, data could be transmitted by utilizing the node IDs of child nodes. When forwarding data, a destination node ID of the data is checked against the node ID of each child node, and each child node accepts the data for further processing if the destination node ID is the node ID of each such child node; and decides to forward the data to subordinate child nodes or to discard the data depending on whether the destination node ID is not the node ID of the child node.
Referring again to
With the routing-embedded ID assignment illustrated with
When nodes enter and leave a communication system, the network topology could be changed accordingly, and node IDs may need to be updated as a consequence of the possible change of allowable connected child nodes at any child level in the logical tree topology. For example in some implementation the network identifies the maximum number of child nodes, broadcasts or forwards the maximum number, and updates the node ID of each of the child nodes.
A root node or another designated node with network control capability may process the identifying and broadcasting/forwarding, and each of the child nodes may update its own ID based on the broadcasted or forwarded information to generate the node ID, for example by identifying a set {a1, a2, . . . , ak} or based on decoding its own old node ID, for example, by bit shifting the old node ID. The information could be stored in the child node or forwarded by at least one node with network control capability during a broadcasting or forwarding process.
As shown in
When forwarding a packet in the logical tree network, the packet may include a destination address including at least a logical tree prefix field 1001 and a destination node ID field 1002 as illustrated in
For forwarding packets between logical trees, due to the different prefixes and node IDs in different logical trees, each node may transform a destination address by modifying the prefix and node ID.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made in the system and method for reducing signal interference in communication networks. It is intended that the standard and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope of the disclosed embodiments being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.

As I look at this I come away thinking that as an Investor I look at Balance sheets, Income Statements,Cash flow....etc.....I'm not hear as judge and jury on how the company gets to that point
case in point my three daughter and wife buy skinny jeans at $160 a pop...do I think that is crazy..Yes
does the company sell them and are profitable...yes....do I pass judgement on the way they market themselves....No....the bottom line it works and It is a good investment...Why because the numbers don't lie.........
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Another Amateur risking his money. "The numbers don't lie". Yeah right. I don't think a single informed short seller is shorting this because of the BALANCE SHEET. Can a Pyramid scheme as Bill Ackman alleges generate these kind of numbers. Ofcourse, they can!
I don't think anything in Bill Ackman's presentation questions the numbers. His primary argument has nothing to do with what the numbers are rather what these guys are doing to get these numbers.
Even Enron had a great balance sheet and "numbers"
Your post is too straightforward and logical... so no one is going to comment. As a former PwC auditor, the first place I looked was to see if any parts of the balance sheet were getting bloated. This is were the wrongs get hidden. Bloated Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Other assets, etc.etc. I don't see anything that raised my suspicion. Also, Ackman's accusation that the accounting classification of the P&L was wrong and so easy to see.... REALLY. And you don't think the partner review of the big 4 accounting firm is going to ask such a simple question. Not likely!!
I owned HLF for a time. I bought in around 52, and ended up selling around 44 (huge loss, as truthfully I got spooked by the whole Einhorn debacle). I am not sure what to think, other than both Einhorn and Ackman are no dummies. Looking back, I feel lucky that I exited @ 44 bucks.
At this point, NO way would I ever buy back in. Too much smoke and mirrors surrounding HLF right now, and it has now attracted a bunch of daytraders and speculators who are gambling for short term gains.

Letting your face skin fresh and young with advanced laser technology
March 31, 2016 Category :Uncategorized 0
Laser wrinkle removal technology is very useful to help people remove wrinkle, said many middle-aged people who had real experience with this technology. The wrinkle removal effect is amazing, green, safe, and cost-effective, reported by a variety of media. Indeed, many middle-aged people have recovered their beautiful youth with the aid of laser wrinkle removal Phoenix technology. The major cause for the emergence of wrinkles on the face of a person lies in reducing collagen and increasingly thinned dermis. With the application of the laser wrinkle removal technology, the dermis is thickening, because new collagen is produced at the damaged layer of collagen. The Skin and Makeup Institute of Phoenix provides very professional courses for people who want to apply this advanced technology. They provide students with many aesthetics college programs, and train many successful personnel for many aesthetics centers or shops. It is safe, and will not harm the skin. Also, the laser treatment only needs a short period of time: each treatment only needs about 30 mins, and patients can leave immediately after the treatment ends up. If you want to be a professional of applying the laser wrinkle removal technology in Phoenix and hunt for a good job in some aesthetics centers or shops, why do not you choose the Skin and Makeup Institute of Phoenix to have systematic training?

Design Dilemma: The Joys of a Small Bedroom
Who says that bedrooms need to be large? On the contrary, we think that small bedrooms can actually be more practical, cozy and efficient than large ones, which tend to invite clutter. A pared down, modestly-sized bedroom is in many ways much more restful than one that is very large. Think of an animal's den which represents safety and repose. Do you have a small bedroom and you're having trouble figuring out how to furnish it? Here are a few tips:
1) Furnish minimally, but purposefully.
In the photo above, the architect chose to furnish a small bedroom with a multifunctional concept wall. The wall acts as a headboard, a bookshelf and storage space and room divider. It also conceals a small changing area.
Below, the owners made use of a bit of room at the foot of the bed for a storage locker which can house shoes or clothing, as well as act as a space to stack books.
2) Make use of built-ins.
Built-ins can save the day in tight spaces. Below, a built-in acts as a headboard, storage space, and even a desk when necessary.
And below, a long, low, built-in console acts as a place to store clothes, without using up much floor space.
3) Go streamlined on closets.
If your small bedroom doesn't have a built-in closet, go very simple on any freestanding armoire or closet system you add. The simple, white, enameled closet below is unfussy and actually lends the room a feeling of spaciousness. The fact that the doors have no hardware also helps.
5. Avoid mirrors unless you're extremely tidy.
Most designers will tell you that adding mirrors can make any room appear larger. But adding mirrors to a room can cut both ways. If the room is extremely tight, or busy in color, pattern or clutter, mirrors can also make it feel even busier and not very relaxing. We think the better bet is to keep the room light, bright, white and simply furnished. You can never go wrong, and you'll find you get a really good night's sleep!
Early to Bed Sleep Cycles Cuts Energy Use in Australian Beach Home
This curious looking facade – the children's bedrooms – gives no clue as to the wide and expansive spaces around the corner.
Dock4 Architecture designed the family home with careful attention to maximising passive solar from passage of the sun with high value double glazing and insulation.
The super efficient home overlooks the endless Pacific Ocean from Bull Bay on North Bruny Island, in Tasmania.
The house is built on a steep site with sweeping views to the open ocean, making the most of its spectacular surroundings.
The master bedroom suite is to one wing, with the children's bedrooms in the other.
The challenge was how to design for energy efficiency when the views across the South Pacific Ocean are all to the south and east, but the sun is to the north.
Noon sun is allowed in through clerestory windows surrounding three sides of the kitchen work area.
But light also plays a key part of the home's energy efficiency in a novel way.
Human sleep cycles are altered by the siting.
These sleepers would be roused by the very first rays of morning sun as it ascends over the distant horizon.
The earlier householders are up, the earlier they tend to go to bed.
So less electricity is consumed after dark, simply by getting up with the earliest rays of the sun.
Design Dilemma: Tips on Making the Best of Your Balcony
Somehow, the balcony seems to get short shrift. Perhaps that's because in the United States, more emphasis has been placed on single family houses, where front yards and backyards seem to get all of the attention. And balconies? Well, leave those to city dwellers who mostly use them as a place to store old mops and buckets.
That was the old thinking, but today, more of us are moving into dense cities and we expect to see a resurgence in balcony interest. It's a little slice of the outdoors that can have quite an impact on anyone living in a multi-family apartment or condo. To that end, we thought we'd offer a few tips on how to make the most of your balcony, no matter what size it happens to be.
- Think of it as an extension of your indoor space.
In the balcony above, just open up the sliders and your living room instantly has the feel of a terrace. Balconies can be the perfect opportunity to enlarge the feel of a small apartment, and to give any room an outdoorsy feel. Below, a balcony right off a bedroom of a Newburyport cottage gives the whole cottage the feeling of a houseboat. Enhance the indoor/outdoor feeling by keeping balcony doors unobstructed. Opt for window coverings that can completely disappear so as not to distract from views.
2. Use privacy walls to bring in interest.
Many balconies are outfitted with privacy walls which keep you and your neighbor from feeling like you're in the same room if you both happen to be using the balcony at the same time. If you want to keep your balcony feeling homey and not institutional, use your privacy wall as an opportunity to cozy things up. Above, the owners added a handy shelf for plants and decorative knicknacks.
3. Keep it functional.
We've seen far too many balconies become a repository for household clutter that doesn't fit inside. Don't let it happen to you! If you've got a balcony (especially one as spectacular as the Central Park West balcony above) or even something more modest, like the balcony below, keep it clutter free, ready to welcome you and your guests when you want to appreciate the great outdoors. All you really need is a couple of chairs and a small table.
4. Add plants, plants and more plants.
No balcony is complete, of course, without the presence of plants. Plants provide a feeling of restful ease that is particularly satisfying if you live in a busy city. Not only can seeing a bit of greenery around you make you feel great when you're outside, but glimpsing a bit of greenery from the inside is restful and gratifying as well.
5. Bring in some color.
A balcony without color can feel a bit serious. One important last consideration is to bring in touches of color to lighten things up a bit. The easiest way to do this is to opt for a few colorful flowers, as you see below. But if the flowers aren't always in bloom, try adding colorful pots, chairs and tablecloths, as you see above.
Even colorful pillows can be enough to do the trick:
>Keep these few tips in mind and you'll see that your balcony will quickly become your favorite "room" at home!

Four Things To Consider About A Career With Children
Guest Post by Allison – Many a young person aspire during their high school years and early twenties to become a teacher, a daycare worker, or a youth counsellor. There are plenty of reasons these jobs can seem appealing to people, from the desire to help students learn to the usual time off during the summer vacation months. There are plenty of pros and cons to choosing a career where you'll be working with children, especially if you can easily relate to them and enjoy what they have to offer. Many people think of teaching, counselling and early childhood educating as an easy job, but the truth is that these jobs can be anything but. Time Spent Compared to other jobs, those that work with children often report giving up more of their time off on extra-curricular activities related to work. Whether that includes coaching a team, marking a paper or staying late to help out when a child's parents are going to be late, professional child minders need to be aware that their job generally doesn't end when the school day is over. When you consider the abundance of personal time you will likely be required to give up, you may find yourself re-evaluating your desire to work with children. Involvement Whether you're a math teacher or a counsellor, you will be required to care about your students and their personal challenges and issues. Not only does a good teacher or child care professional need to be emotionally available, they need to be able to do so in a thankless environment. This is especially true of those who are set to work with teens, who can be moody and callous when conflicts arise. You'll need to examine how much of yourself you're willing to share with your students, and how thick your skin can be when things don't go your way. Public Scrutiny When working with children, your personal life can suddenly come under the microscope. Teachers and counsellors are usually required to have background...Read More
Career Advice For Men And Women
Guest Post by Eugene Calvini – It's a challenge to offer career advice in the office when you don't take into consideration the different genders and how specific pitfalls may present themselves accordingly. It's with this in mind that I offer unique career advice in London and abroad depending on gender; it's best to be realistic about these differences. As a disclaimer, these are issues that are proven psychologically and are beyond the realm of opinion; if you feel these descriptions are offensive, perhaps you're the exception and not the rule. General Career Advice for Women As is only polite, ladies first. In the work place, women are more likely to have an emotional investment or reaction in business. This is most certainly not the wrong way to go about business; it's just different and could lead to unnecessary conflict. My free career advice would be to halt yourself before things get out of hand and not take business too personally should an appropriate situation arise. There is also a tendency for women in the workplace to use conditional speech when addressing tasks that need to be completed; using phrases like "Perhaps we should" or "Maybe I can" which is intended to soften the blow of delegation but instead might make one look unsure of their view. It doesn't take a career advice centre to explain that business is not personal and no one will dislike you anymore than they should if you firmly delegate tasks or are convicted in your initiatives. Career Advice for Men If it seems I was a bit hard on women in the workplace, I suggest you buckle in for the men jobs and career advice. Firstly, men in the workplace tend to be competitive to an almost self-defeating measure and almost always measure up every single co-working in the office. UK career advice cannot be specific enough for what is surely a global phenomenon; stop sizing up your co-workers before one of them indeed proves he is the big dog and...Read More
Team Building Activities That Will Initiate Office Camaraderie
Guest Post by Bella Gray – A stuffy corporate office atmosphere is often the result of a lack of office camaraderie. While a courteous demeanor is required to maintain a respectful dialogue between colleagues, it can also result in a stiff disposition. Team building activities are a great way to create office relationships that are based on mutual respect and productive alliances. Employees have become wary of friendship within the office due to professionalism and work conduct protocols. Participating in office team building activities with your colleagues and working within an informal setting can break through preconceived ideas that individuals have formed about each other while paving the way for dynamic collaborations between co-workers. Top 3 Fun Corporate Team Building Activities: Scavenger Hunt: A team building game activity that will take employees down memory-lane, this hide-and-go-seek themed search can be utilized to teach colleagues corporate values, policies and procedures. The clues and hidden items should be tricky to find and require a certain amount of logic on the part of the paired-up teams. To boost the effectiveness of the scavenger hunt, split the teams according to departmental divisions. Spider Web: The aim of this team builder is to create a personal connection between colleagues. Seat people across from each other within a circle; once they are all in a sitting position hand someone a ball of twine. The person holding the ball needs to relate an embarrassing recollection to the group and then, once the laughter has died down, pass the twine a long to one of their co-workers. At the end of the session there should be a spider web linking everyone. It's a fun team building idea and a great ice breaker for inducting new employees into their department. Business Board Game: This is a craft activity where employees can get their hands dirty. Using poster boards, color markers and inner artistry, colleagues will need to create a board game around the services and products offered by their company. A fun way to showcase business know-how,...Read More
Staying Out Of Office Politics
Guest Post by Dave Peterson – No matter how big or small your office is, office politics inevitably plays a part at some point. Whether it's an on-going disagreement or general conflict of interest or a relationship in the office, there are bound to be secrets between some members of staff. The key to winning when it comes to office politics is to stay out of it. Even that might cause some resentment as people could see you as trying to mount that moral high horse. There are a few signs to watch out for when dealing with office politics. Here are a some that might help ease the situation without distancing yourself too much from your colleagues. Only Good Mouth For the most part colleagues aren't usually your friends and are even your competition in some cases. Dirty office politics begin when employees start bad mouthing each other or their superiors. People often feel that they will be commended and maybe even rewarded further down the line for blowing the whistle. If you want advice on how to deal with office politics then you need to know that this can back-fire in a major way if you are caught out. You might be one of several people who could have leaked some information but if for some reason it surfaces that you are the culprit then you could be caught up in the social storm that is office politics. Nip It in the Bud It's common knowledge that in all spheres of life we struggle to face our confrontations head on. Whether it is politics in the office or with our families or friends, we accumulate anger towards a person resulting from a small issue that continues to build for a while. Not dealing with these issues at work is a major contributing factor to office politics. The key is to address the situation in a mild manner. It might be hard but it will be a lot harder and a lot more personal if you...Read More
Employment And Hiring Staff – A Case Of Quality Not Quantity
Guest Post by Neil – Small businesses face more challenges than most, although they can be the most flexible model and able to respond quickly to changing markets and customer demands. Perhaps the most difficult area for many small businesses is employment. Employing staff involves a number of legal requirements but before all of these issues can be dealt with the first hurdle to leap is how to find the right staff? It sounds simple but every small business owner will understand it's not! Perhaps the biggest problem for those of us running our own small businesses is simply that we have to be experts in all areas of business management. Human resources, people management, hiring and firing staff is one area that is extremely complex. By sticking to some simple rules when searching for staff the process becomes much smoother – and importantly will take up less of your valuable time. Staff Qualities The phrase 'quality not quantity' can apply to most areas of life and the process of finding staff is no exception. In this case quality refers to personal qualities and quantity should be taken to refer to qualifications and experience. Don't be blinded by the best schools and university on an individual's CV. By the same token big brand name ex-employers and well-known companies should not seduce you into ignoring more subtle details on an individual's CV. It may even be worth asking why an Eton/Oxford educated individual who has worked for Goldman Sachs is so keen to work for your mobile laundry and ironing service. OK, so that is an extreme example, but there is a point here. A 'can and will do' attitude, confident and pleasant personality can be more valuable than experience. Experience can be gained or trained into staff – attitude is usually in-built in their personality. It's also worth considering the following point; an individual who has attended a 'poor' school, gone on to university and achieved success will have done so against greater odds than may be the...Read More
Lean Six Sigma Certificates – Three Education Levels
Guest Post by Becky – Are you seeking business training that won't take you years to complete, but could give you a competitive edge in the workplace? Maybe you are required by the company you work for to take some courses for continuing education, or you know that, with a few more classes completed in your field, you could get that big promotion or pay raise that you've been wanting. In any scenario, what you do know is that you don't want to commit to a 2-4 year degree. Perhaps it's time that you consider Lean Six Sigma training. This is a program that you can take in order to increase your business acumen and deepen your understanding of the inner workings of many industries. This program is centered on the idea of improving quality in business by identifying—and subsequently eliminating—product and service defects. These courses can prove invaluable to any professional, whether it is someone new to the field of business or a seasoned veteran. Best of all, you can take many Lean Six Sigma courses online through websites like The College Network and other Internet-based learning hubs. Here are three programs that you may want to consider. 1. Six Sigma Green Belt This program is for those who have never taken a Lean Six Sigma course before. This program is ten weeks long and earns you four and a half credits. In this program, you will learn how to eliminate or reduce waste in business, define problems in business and listen to what consumers want, analyze and measure data, improve business processes and much more. 2. Advanced Lean Principles and Tools Certification Once you have successfully completed the Green Belt course, you are ready to move onto the next level. This course is three and a half credits and can be completed in a speedy eight weeks. With Advanced Principles and Tools, you will examine 14 management principles through the study of model companies like Toyota. In this course, you will take many of the...Read More

Alexander vs Matthysse Heads To The Family Arena
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com has been advised that the Devon Alexander-Lucas Matthysse "Redemption" fight is officially set. Devon Alexander's first step towards redemption will take place at The Family Arena which is located 20 miles from downtown St. Louis. This will be the former IBF/WBC junior welterweight champion's first fight since a technical decision loss to Tim Bradley in January. Alexander was unable to finish the fight after suffering multiple headbutts.
Alexander-Matthysse takes place on June 25th and will be broadcast on HBO. Matthysse last appeared on the premium network when he lost a split decision to Zab Judah last November. Harold Lederman, the official ringside scorer for HBO, had Matthysse winning that fight 114-113. After that loss, Matthysse faced former world champion DeMarcus Corley and knocked him down 8 times before scoring a TKO victory.
St. Louis is known as a great fight town and all 11,500 seats at The Family Arena are expected to be filled. Alexander drew 10,000 fans to his last fight in St. Louis when he defeated Andriy Kotelnik via unanimous decision.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I had to drive two hours to get to her house because she lives way out in the sticks, in Huntington. During my portrait session, all sorts of people -- Ms. Butler's friends, I guess -- just hung around, being loud, drinking, making disgusting jokes, complaining about how long I was taking and creepily staring at me. They seemed to be wondering who I was and what I was doing there, and the feeling was more than mutual! Ms. Butler at no point made any attempt whatsoever to tell her friends to act like civilized human beings or go elsewhere so her customer could have a peaceful and comfortable portrait sitting, and she was very rude herself. I decided to simply ignore her friends and try to get this photo shoot from hell over with.
As I was finally headed out the door, thankful to be getting away from her and her friends, Ms. Butler seemed upset that she couldn't find something. I simply asked her if she was okay and she FREAKED out at me: "No, I'm NOT okay! (((REDACTED FOUL LANGUAGE)))
" These were the last words she said to me -- her paying customer! -- before I left for my two-hour trek back to civilization. Trying to be professional even if she had not been, I sent her an email a few days later thanking her for her efforts and saying I had a good time at the photo shoot (that was actually physically painful to write), and asked when I should be expecting my prints, because she had not been clear on that before.
She emailed me back and informed me that I actually didn't have a good time at all at the photo shoot and that her friends complained about me to her the whole time when she was out of the room, and that I should have talked to them more. I did not know any of these people and had no idea what they were even doing there and why they were just sitting there the whole time! And they were acting extremely obnoxious and, to put it bluntly, seemed like complete assholes. I am very glad I didn't talk to them! I was, however, courteous and respectful to both Ms. Butler and her friends the entire time. There was no reason for her to be so rude to me when I was leaving, for her friends to complain about me, and there was definitely no reason for her to tell me all about it.
I had assumed Ms. Butler was a professional who cared about whether all of her customers were comfortable and happy, but I guess I was wrong. I really think she just didn't care because I wasn't spending that much money and, since I was just getting simple headshots done, I wasn't as fun and "exciting" as her on-location work with some of her more popular customers -- and her awesome friends, apparently -- so I just wasn't a priority to her.
She also did not even answer my question of when I could expect my prints! I wrote to her several times over the next few weeks wondering where my prints were, and she never responded. Eventually, two months later, I received a small white envelope in the mail. Finally she had sent my prints! But there was no CD, as promised, and there were only about half the amount of prints I had paid for! So, on top of everything else, she stiffed me $50!!!
The pictures were also of terrible quality. They were out of focus and so dark, you could barely even see who was in them, and it was clear that no retouching or Photoshop work of any kind had been done on the images. They looked like a small child, learning how to use his camera for the first time, had taken them. I have no idea who takes Ms. Butler's pictures for her on her website, but she clearly has no talent for photography whatsoever, and has horrible people, communication and customer service skills, and doesn't deliver what's promised.
She thought she could just treat me like crap because I wasn't as "important" as some of her other customers and then forget about me, so thank goodness for Ripoffreport.com!! PLEASE TAKE MY WORD FOR IT: DO NOT DO BUSINESS OF ANY KIND WITH THIS WOMAN!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!

Abraham: After I Beat Stieglitz, Groves Could Be Possible
Former world middleweight champion Arthur Abraham is expecting a tough battle with Robert Stieglitz on August 25, when the Armenian-born German challenges for a version of the 168lb title for the third time in his career.
The 32 year-old, who out-pointed Piotr Wilczewski in March to earn the title shot, has successfully rebuilt his career following defeats to Carl Froch and eventually winner Andre Ward in the Super-Six tournament and is focused of taking Steiglitz's title in Berlin next month.
"It's going to be a tough fight for both of us and I hope to be the one standing tall afterwards," Abraham told World Boxing News.
"I hope that as many fans as possible will be present at O2 World Berlin on August 25. You don't want to miss my big fight against Stieglitz and afterwards we can celebrate together."
Briton George Groves was removed as mandatory challenger to Stieglitz after suffering an injury in the build-up to the fight and Abraham is unsure about defending against the British champion if successful against his compatriot.
"I don't know why (they decided to remove him as mandatory). It's something you might ask my promoter or the officials from the WBO," said Abraham.
When asked if there was ever a chance that he and Groves could have fought an eliminator, Abraham said that was never a possibility, but the seasoned champion will think about offering the 'Saint' a shot at the title in the future.
"I don't think about that (fighting Groves) at the very moment. My full focus is on Stieglitz. When I beat him, I will think about my next fight and Groves could be a possibility.
"Of course (there are other super-middleweights I want to fight), but I won't tell you before I am going to face them."
Asked about the chance to avenge his defeats to IBF champion Froch and WBC/WBA belt holder Ward, Abraham admitted that the losses still hurt and unification rematches are at the forefront of his mind.
"That's a dream of mine – to redeem myself," added Abraham.

Decorated Frisco homes needed to raise money for charity
Every two years, The Texas Christmas House has a contest for the most beautiful and uniquely decorated home in Texas.
Full disclosure: I'm a judge for this year's contest.
This year, Frisco has been selected as one of the regions to participate in the statewide competition.
According to the website: "Each participating region of Texas will have one single charity chosen to benefit from all of its decorated home entries, underwritten by a corporate donor serving as the charity's Patron."
Frisco's selected charity is the North Collin County Habitat for Humanity.
The best part of this competition, besides the fact that Frisco has been added to the competition, is that it is absolutely free. For every house that enters, a donation is made to Collin County Habitat for Humanity by an anonymous patron.
The bad news: Frisco has only a few homes entered. I have seen so many beautiful and creative homes around the city, that I know could represent Frisco in the contest. Your home does not need to be the largest or have the most lights on it. It just needs to be something unique and something that you are proud of.
According to the Texas Christmas House website, this is how it works:
"The most beautifully decorated family home in each participating region of the state will be chosen by their local panel of judges. Winning homes from each region then become finalists in the state-wide contest that names one special home the official Texas Christmas House for 2015."
To register, visit, texaschristmashouse.com/regions/frisco
I hope to see a lot of homes from Frisco to judge. Don't forget it is free. Tell your family, tell your friends and tell your neighbors. Why not show off all of your hard work and raise money for charity at the same time?

In May 1987 the US guided missile frigate Stark sailing the waters of the Persian Gulf was suddenly blown apart by the air force of Iraq. A fifth of the crew were killed and many others horribly burned or wounded. This started one of the most mysterious and underwritten conflicts in American history: "The Tanker War " for control of the Mideast's oil supply.This quasi-war took place in the shadows of the mammoth Iran-Iraq War coinciding with the last years of the Reagan administration. Losing on the battlefield Iran had decided to close the Persian Gulf against shipments from Iraq and their oil-rich backers Kuwait. The Kuwaitis appealed for international help to protect their tankers the Soviet Union was first to respond. Prompting the United States to react more energetically and America sent its own fleet.The result was a free-for-all as the Iranians laid mines and launched attack boats. The US Navy fought its largest surface battle since World War II against the Iranian assault boats.In the meantime US Navy Seals arrived in the Gulf at an abandoned hulk from which they would sally out to combat the Iranians. These actions have become well known in Special Forces literature but until now the public has not realized the magnitude of this secret war. In July 1988 nervous triggermen aboard the USS Vincennes shot an Iranian airliner out of the sky killing 300 civilians one month before the end of the war. It may have been the final straw to influence the Ayatollah to finally drink from his "poisoned chalice " closing it down.Lee Zatarain a Washington-based attorney combined recently released Pentagon documents firsthand interviews and a determination to find the truth resulting in the fantastic book. The Tanker War reveals a conflict that few of us recognized at the time. Now that the war drums are sounding again it's fortunate that we can finally read the full story of America's first war against Iran in the Gulf.

When's the last time you saw a Canadian film? That's a key question and the main impetus behind National Canadian Film Day, a cross-Canada event designed to celebrate and shine a light on the country's struggling movie industry.
There are myriad reasons why Canadians, for the most part, aren't watching English-Canadian films — whether it's our reputation for making homegrown films that are less populist and more art-house fare, the lack of wide distribution in Canadian cinemas or even low awareness about what domestic projects are being released.
Putting aside recent co-productions like the Resident Evil franchise, the most successful Canadian films of all time have been titles such as 1979's summer camp comedy Meatballs, the 1982 sex-comedy Porky's or 2006's buddy cop film Bon Cop, Bad Cop.
According to figures from the Movie Theatre Association of Canada, English-Canadian titles made up just 1.2 per cent of the films screened at Canadian cinemas in 2013. That number has hovered at about 1.5 per cent for more than a decade.
"Canadians want to see as much commercial product as they can and if commercial means entertaining and engaging, then that's it. You could say half the films in the [United] States don't work as well, if not more," filmmaker Michael Dowse, director of the hit hockey enforcer comedy Goon and the upcoming indie romance The F Word, told CBC News.
"I think most Canadians want to see something more entertaining in terms of what's coming out," he said.
The massive American entertainment complex to our south is a major factor, but it doesn't have to overtake a sense of patriotism for our own movies, notes award-winning filmmaker Deepa Mehta, whose drama Water earned her an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language film.
"I don't think we should compete with Hollywood. In many aspects, [the U.S. is] a much bigger country. It has a much older entertainment industry than we do and I think to compete with them is bizarre," Mehta said.
"But we have our own strengths in our own films," she added, likening the Canadian industry to that of Australia, where the citizens tout and "love Australian films."
"We as people — and I think this is our strength actually — are perhaps not so brash. Maybe we are a bit too polite and we don't push ourselves as much. But then we are also artists who make stuff that has depth. So let's use our strengths, which is a sweetness and an introspectiveness. And an edge — I mean Cronenberg has edge! But there's something quintessentially Canadian about David Cronenberg and that's a Canadian quality. That Canadian quality is not in your face and that's who we are. Not "in your face" kind of people with our work, with our film, with our literature, with our performances, with theatre."
In the attached videos, Eli Glasner asks Canadians about their knowledge of homegrown films and reports for The National on Canadian Film Day and the ongoing campaign to promote domestic cinema.

Vulnerabilities in QNAP, Ffmpeg and VLC
The Secunia security firm has found multiple vulnerabilities in the popular ffmpeg multimedia framework that is the basis for most Linux media players.
Numerous cases of heap memory corruption and null pointer dereferences can allow specially prepared media files to execute malicious code on target systems. Secunia confirmed the vulnerability in the popular ffmpeg version 0.5. The advisory also confirms that some of the security holes have been fixed in the SVN repository and the remainder should be closed immediately.
The VideoLAN Client (VLC) project has meanwhile released version 1.0.2, which fixes a number of stack overflow problems in the AVI, MP4 and ASF demuxers that also allowed specially prepared media files to execute malicious code. Affected were all VideoLAN versions back to 0.5.0, so that the update is recommended for all users. VLC also uses the ffmpeg framework, although it's not clear whether the vulnerabilities correspond to those reported by Secunia. The descriptions are nonetheless very similar.
Even QNAP, the popular maker of NAS hard disks, faces some security issues. As is reported, a secondary key is added to the hard disk encryption and stored in flash memory with insufficient obfuscation, thus enabling an attacker physical or network access to unlock and reproduce the hard disk contents. Especially precarious for a product calling itself secure storage is the presence of what by all appearances is a back door with a weakly protected and nonsensical key. QNAP was informed of the problem and promises a firmware update fix in October.
