3 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 What is Cloud Computing? Cloud: A light filmy, fluffy or billowy mass seeming to float in the air. Computing: The use of an electronic device to process data or perform calculations. An oxymoron for a start! Ask 10 people what Cloud Computing is and you will get 10 different answers. However, the most common theme that emerges is that it is the ability to do some form of computing on the Internet! On the Internet is a very interesting concept. Because the Internet is so big and complicated, many people do not stop and think that it is made up of real physical components tied together by standard networking and computing protocols. It is not a nebulous fluffy thing. When you access any kind of data, system or web page it is being fed from a specific computer, based in a real location, managed by real people and is being paid for by someone or some organisation. The key characteristic for Cloud Computing is the ability to rent or access computing power, operating system and application software hosted outside your organisation. This is an alternative to running hardware and installing software in your own environment. The industry standard definition for Cloud Computing is a stack of three adjacent levels of services, each level of service building on the previous. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which includes hardware housed in purpose built datacentres, which is made available to be used by remote technical teams to load operating systems, hypervisors and application software. This is quite common for R&D environments and for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Platform as a Service (PaaS) where in addition to the computing power the operating system and hypervisor are provided secured and managed and there is a ready-made environment for applications software. This is becoming more common as larger businesses want to focus internal IT resources on business systems that will deliver some benefits and rely on a trusted partner to manage the IT infrastructure, which is rapidly becoming a utility. Software as a Service (SaaS) where a single copy of the software is run on a scalable computer platform and users from multiple companies have access to the shared system. Such applications (e.g. Salesforce) are designed for multi tenancy so each company can configure options to meet individual requirements and each company s data is securely partitioned. Page 3 Page 3
4 4 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 Cloud Computing Architecture Benefits of Cloud Computing The key drivers for moving to Cloud Computing are: Operational expense rather than capital expense, which is particularly topical due to the lack of funding available for many businesses. Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Not only is it a pay-as-you-go service, the total cost of ownership will be significantly reduced. Scalable: Cloud Computing brings a utility basis such that the environments are able to scale for hundreds or even thousands of users meaning you are unlikely to ever outgrow the service. Further, you only pay for what you use and can scale up with demand and scale down in lean times. More reliable: Cloud Computing platforms are designed and built as Enterprise class platforms to be shared by multiple business customers. Ownership of this kind of resilient, high performance infrastructure is out of reach of the budgets of most organisations. Expertise and focus: Cloud Computing environments are managed by multi-disciplined teams each with deep and broad technical knowledge. This includes networking, hardware, storage, hypervisor, operating systems, and applications software. Page 4
5 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 Link-Connect Private Cloud Computing Service Based on this industry standard architecture, Link-Connect s enterprise grade Cloud Computing infrastructure is distributed across multiple data centres. This allows us to deliver a range of Cloud Computing infrastructure solutions at these industry standard levels. However, when moving to Cloud Computing it is not just the Computing aspects that need to be carefully considered. It is essential to consider access to the now remote applications: is there the right level of security to protect against internal and external attacks? How do the Cloud-based applications dovetail with internally hosted applications? Who can you talk to resolve problems or discuss future developments and requirements? Link-Connect Private Cloud Computing Services encompasses ALL aspects to help you transition to a Cloud Computing environment either as a phased approach or a big bang move. We offer a onestop-shop for Hosting, Connectivity, and Security all designed as Enterprise Class infrastructure, which is designed for multi tenancy. A key advantage to users is the ability to harness Enterprise class infrastructure that is often out of reach of an individual company s budgets. These high availability services are combined with access to an expert team of technicians who will guide you through the whole process. We can help you to identify the right applications that will benefit from moving to a Cloud environment, design a solution that takes into account your specific requirements, document the business benefits and manage the transition into the new world. Thereafter you are in the hands of our technical teams to manage and support you augmented by regular service reviews. Page 5 Page 5
6 6 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 Link-Connect Private Cloud Computing Services Managed services 24/7 support Industry leading SLA to 100% Connectivity SMART Connect High Availability WAN MPLS SSL Security IPS NGF Hosting SaaS PaaS Applications Microsoft IP Telephony People-buy-people ethos DIA IPSec Internet Gateway IaaS Backups Core network and VM server foundation The Link-Connect Cloud offering combines secure, resilient infrastructure with our carrier integrated core network. This enables us to deliver solutions to businesses that have the optimal design to match the needs of the customer and deliver clear economic advantage. We have a focused approach to Cloud Computing, and whilst a lot of attention is paid to Public Cloud services from the likes of Microsoft and Google, for Link-Connect Cloud Computing is more about the virtualisation of specific internal business applications and delivering them from multiple data centres for resilience. It has become increasingly clear that the delivery of applications back into the business is highly dependent on the performance and security of the network. When making the transition into using Cloud Services, a business must ensure both the computing and networking components are delivered as an integrated solution. The Link-Connect Cloud Computing service is fundamentally different from many other Cloud services due to our ability to deliver customised solutions, and keen focus on providing the level of proactive support enterprise customers require. Enterprise Grade Cloud Platform Link-Connect has built a Cloud Computing Platform that uses Enterprise grade components at the Hypervisor, Compute and Storage Layers. This ensures the resulting service is resilient, efficient, scalable and high performance. Page 6
7 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 Solution Transparency For many businesses, moving key IT applications into a Public Cloud is too much of a risk. The Private Cloud approach allows us to be much more transparent about where the applications and databases reside, and how these are secured and delivered resiliently in terms of both the computing platform and the network. In addition you have direct access to the technical team looking after your critical corporate assets. Solution Customisation Our Technical Consultants will work with customers to design solutions that best meet their specific needs. As businesses look to migrate to a virtualised, Cloud environment it is critical that the right solution is deployed and tailored to meet business demands. Optimal Network Services Link-Connect s Cloud offering, combined with their network services, enable the customer to deliver application services out to end users securely and at the required performance levels. Link-Connect uses a carrier agnostic approach, afforded through heavy integration with Tier1 Carriers, together with Next Generation Firewalls and WAN Optimisers to deliver the optimal network design in terms of reliability, performance and cost. Backup Services The backup platform is built specifically for virtual environments to provide fast backup and recovery of virtual machines. The service is administered through a unified management console, and delivers protection for the entire virtual infrastructure, providing industry-leading features such as Instant VM Recovery, Instant File-Level Recovery, 2-in-1: backup and replication with powerful deduplication capabilities. Monitoring and Management The management layer provides management and monitoring at Virtual, Hardware and Datacentre layers of the Cloud platform to allow the solution to be managed holistically and proactively through a single pane of glass. Page 7 Page 7
8 8 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 Customer Environments Guest servers/appliances within the Cloud platform are securely segregated and contained within a resource pool, with enterprise features such as Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), and High Availability (HA) enabled. The resource pool is spread across the hardware platform, which in turn is spread across datacentres. DRS performs the role of load balancing the guest servers/appliances over the hardware layer, while HA ensures failover in the event of a node/enclosure/datacentre failure. Virtualisation The foundation computing power is harnessed by an enterprise class hypervisor, providing the management layer with centralised control, monitoring and reporting at the guest, host and component level. It is enabled with advanced disaster recovery features to ensure faults at the hardware level do not affect the availability of the guest machines. Computer Power Layer Each participating datacentre is equipped with unified computing Infrastructure, offering the following features: Modularised platform designed for scalability, offering multiple points of resilience while minimizing the use of physical space and power. Each Enclosure is populated with Half-Height Blades to increase density, mitigate risk and the impact of failed nodes. Built on Next Generation Intel Virtualisation Technology enabling best-in-class virtualization performance. Data Storage The storage platform is based on a highly scalable multi-site Storage Area Network, providing tiered storage, which is resilient at the disk, shelf, node and datacentre level. Connectivity to the compute platform is then provided securely and resiliently via multiple access paths. Data Centres Link-Connect Cloud Computing services are delivered from geographically dispersed Tier3+ data centres, which are heavily integrated into our core network with diverse connectivity in and out of each location. Page 8
9 Demystifying Cloud Computing V1.3 Summary Organisations are increasingly looking to implement technologies that help them to improve business performance, reduce costs, simplify processes, improve security, manage their changing workforce and enhance their customers and users experience. Link-Connect Private Cloud Computing Services deliver real flexibility and functionality to your business. By accessing applications virtually and running online backups your business can make significant savings in both cost and time. We think that it is important that businesses do not turn away from the benefits of the Cloud because some of the negative publicity that surrounds it has put them off. Link-Connect can demystify the cloud and help your business explore the possibilities. Page 9 Page 9

Percentage of Backorder Dollars
Metric Details & Benchmarking Report Download
KPI Benchmarks : Percentage of Backorder Dollars
- Benchmark Range
- Benchmark Average 3.5%
- Benchmark Sample Size (n) 38
* Is High or Low Best: Lower is Better
KPI Details : Percentage of Backorder Dollars
Percentage of Backorder Dollars is an indicator of how well the company stocks products that are in demand from its customers. A high value for this KPI indicates that the company has inefficient demand planning and forecasting, poor inventory management, sub-par vendor management methods or inventory shrinkage issues. Low performers for this KPI not only experience slower order cycle times, but they also risk a dissatisfied customer base. These dissatisfied customers can lead to lost revenue to due attrition as well as lost revenue that stems from cancelling orders that are currently on backorder.
KPI Best Practices : Percentage of Backorder Dollars
- Set levels of safety stock that are high enough to last through increased demand
- Maintain a centralized pool of inventory rather than allocating stock to certain channels
- Analyze patterns and monitor past instances of stock-outs (day of week, time of month, etc.)
KPI Calculation Instructions Percentage of Backorder Dollars?
Two values are used to calculate this KPI: (1) the dollar value of customer orders that are delayed in shipment due to the company being out of stock, and (2) the total dollar value of customer orders placed during the same measurement period. An order is defined as backordered or delayed if the order is held or shipped late due to a lack of inventory availability. Only include orders that are fulfilled in this calculation. Do not include orders that are cancelled due to being on backorder in this calculation.
KPI Formula :
(Dollar Value of Orders Delayed in Shipment / Total Dollar Value of Orders Placed) * 100

Bajet $30-250 USD
Here are the basic requirements:
You need to create a 10 x 10 playing field for each player to place their pieces and an additional 10 x 10 playing field to capture their shots at the opposing player.
Each player gets 1 Carrier (5 spaces), 1 Battleship (4 spaces), 1 Frigate (3 spaces), 1 Submarine ( 3 spaces) and 1 Minesweeper (2 spaces)
Each ship is to be placed on the board horizontally or vertically
Board - The board is 10 x 10 organized with A-J identifiers across the top, and 0 - 9 identifiers down the side
Use appropriate symbols to layout the grids (check out the ASCII symbols), and use the notation CHAR-NUMBER (e.g A-2) to indicate where a shot is to be placed.
There are two players in this game
Each player gets their turn placing their pieces down on the board
After each player has placed their pieces they take turns "shooting" at the others board
If a player's shot hits an opposing player's ship (a spot on the board where a ship is located) then his marking board displays an X in that spot
If a player's shot misses and opposing player's ships, then a "-" is placed in that spot on his marking board
If a players ship is hit, his board should show what ship was hit and where
The board should be cleared between players so that each player only sees his ships status and his shots status.
Appropriate data structures (arrays) should be used to hold the information
Appropriate functions should be created to initialize the structures, display messages to the players, display the boards, determine if there is a hit or miss, update the datastructures etc. etc.
Be creative, see if you can use color to add to your console program, can you create a computer to play against? Can you make it smart?

I always have a bit of money in my pocket after Christmas to spend on myself, and this year I did the responsible thing. I bought clothes with it....well, part of it. With the rest I bought supplies for Lula's room and some gouache. I got this set from Hobby Lobby. It's Savoir-Faire French School Opaque Watercolor Gouache and had pretty good reviews considering it is a student grade paint. I tested it out the first chance I got to get the feel of the paint and came up with this pretty garish creature.
Not my best work, but it got me familiar with the flow of this paint. I really like it so far. Like I'm pretty sure I want it to be my boyfriend and kind of want to tell it I love it sort of like it. That kind of like it. No, more like I want to marry it and I'm embarrassed because it's only our first date kind of like it. You get the point. I love it!!! When thinned down it behaves like a watercolor paint, and out of the tube it is bold and opaque like acrylic. And like watercolor the excess paint on your palate can be reconstituted with water. So if I mix a perfect shade and have to feed baby a bottle I can always come back, add water, and start off where I was before.
I love building up layers with gouache. I hope to master the medium well enough to justify the purchase of some artist quality paints soon. Here's some pics of me playing around with my new paints.
Have you ever tried gouache? What do you think of it? Any favorite brands?

We live in an age of entitlement where people think they are simply owed things just for being. This seems to be especially true in decadent North America where children are pampered by their parents and citizens are pampered by their governments. And the more people are pampered, the more this idea of deserving something gets etched into their minds.
But no matter what, we must remember that no one deserves anything. And I'm not just talking about the whiners and the degenerate slackers who moan for respect and special treatment; even those who do strive and fight to the best of their abilities don't deserve anything. The whole concept of "deserving" something must be vanished from your minds.
I remember when I was younger how I was lectured and indoctrinated by a degenerate society that everyone deserved this and that. They all seemingly made sense on the surface, but I felt disgusted inside. Something just didn't settle right in my subconscious mind. I just couldn't accept the idea I was being fed and I didn't know why. But now I do.
Just because you're a human being with a beating heart, it doesn't mean you deserve what the society has to offer. You're just a pile of useless mass of cells unless you make something for yourself. If others provide for you and protect you in any other way out of compassion or duty, it doesn't mean that you are getting something you deserve. They just represent others' generosity, not your status as someone who can get things without making an effort. You don't deserve shit.
And exactly who decides to hand out these merits? Who decides what people get to deserve something or not? It's clearly not the people themselves if this bullshit needs to be enforced onto the population. The only answer is the state. So, in the end, it is all about having the state control us and regulate entitlements. Because we are so ignorant, the government is supposed to tell us who deserves special treatment and while forcing us to give those poor people what they "deserve." Do we really need the state to have even more control over our lives?
Instead of crying about what you feel you deserve, if you want anything in this world, you must earn it. Does everyone deserve respect? No. You earn it by being someone who is respectable. Do people deserve freedom and rights? Hell no. Whatever "freedom" and "rights" you have, you must be able to defend it and assert it. You want power and success? Do your best and don't give up, you'll increase your chances of attaining them. But that still does not mean that you deserve it; the game of life doesn't always award you for your efforts. In fact, you don't even deserve to live. You live because you can. You live because you fight for your existence, not because you or others think you deserve it.
As soon as you start to think in terms of deserving something, you will wither down and become weak. As a man, you must take what you want using your will and ability; nothing else matters.
The reason why our society is so degenerate is precisely because of this sense of entitlement. Look what our society teaches us: disabled people deserve respect, gays deserve respect just because, trans people deserve respect because they have it so hard, women deserve respect even if she's an irresponsible whore, minorities deserve respect because they were/are victims, morbidly obese people deserve respect even though they made their beds, everyone deserves respect regardless of who they are and what value they possess. Once you reach that point where respect is handed out to everyone without a condition, the very concept of respect becomes meaningless. When everyone deserves respect, no one can become respectable. This applies to everything where the word "deserve" is used.
We must defy this idiocy that is being forced down upon us. And as a pledge, I will not be expecting anyone to offer me things. I'll be grateful if I get help and support, but I will never believe that I deserved them. But that also means that I will not be granting anyone anything just because they think it's their innate right. People are going to have to earn whatever it is that they want from me if they want it so bad. This equalist lie of the whole of humanity deserving respect must be torn down and burned.
Just say no to the entitled beggars. Kill the voice inside you that says, "I deserve…"

Julie Somis of Baltimore has a historic, brick, end-of-group rowhouse next to Riverside Park in South Baltimore. The basement of the house is unfinished, with a thin concrete floor and a low ceiling.
When she and her husband bought the house 11 years ago, their home inspector showed them deteriorated bricks and mortar at part of the foundation wall in the basement. The mortar is soft in places, the result of dampness in the wall leaching minerals from the mortar over the past century.
Moisture has also broken down salmon bricks - bricks that are unusually soft because they were not well-fired when they were originally baked in the brick kiln. As a result, some of the joints between bricks are missing some of their mortar, and the exposed faces of certain bricks have crumbled, leaving a shallow cavity in the face of the foundation wall at each deteriorated brick.

Globalization is a term loaded with political, economic, and cultural implications. The benefits of globalization are typically said to include the increased availability of affordable products, the possibility of instantaneous communication, and the development of infrastructure in previously isolated regions. The drawbacks of globalization typically include the negative impact associated with it on a society's traditional way of life and the damage done to the physical environment because of rapidly developed infrastructures. How globalization appears to the people living in transitional economies and to transnational migrants is little understood in a world in which the process of globalization is often seen through a Western lens and is presupposed to be a homogenizing (i.e. "westernizing") force. Nevertheless, globalization has concurrent narratives, one of which, explored in this paper, is the growing role of China in the process of globalization and, indeed, the influence of China on the world. The impact of globalization on Chinese migration to Eastern Europe is unique as it has a policy interest because in the past decade it has proven to be predictive of trends in Europe. A new flow of entrepreneurial migrants, who often had no connection to the historical, rural-based chains of migration that produced the earlier Chinese migrant populations of Eastern Europe, found it possible and profitable to do business and settle on the European periphery during a brief period of liberal migration controls. Erratic crackdowns on illegal migration in the absence of thought-through migration regimes resulted in a volatile situation, periodically generating migration flows from one country in the region to another. These were facilitated by, and gave further rise to, networks of kinship and information spanning both Eastern and Western Europe. While this paper focuses on East Europe and Russia, it also attempts to review information on other Eastern European countries (particularly Russia, Romania, Yugoslavia, and the Czech Republic) where it is available. In doing so, it intends to fill a gap in information on Chinese in Eastern Europe until more substantial research is produced, as well as to highlight the common features of, and links between, Chinese migration into individual Eastern European countries as well as into some states there, especially Russian.
The main objective of this study is to compare the rationale of the senior secondary mathematics curriculum standard in Ethiopia and Australia. The study was investigated qualitatively with document analysis and semi-structured interview as methods of research. The documents were analyzed and supported by interviews. The rationale of senior secondary mathematics curriculum in Ethiopia and Australia were analyzed and compared through five themes. The study revealed both similarities and differences of the rationale between two countries. The study indicated that the substantial difference in their rationale is the underlying principle of content standard organization. Even though considerable difference exists, the similarities are: the adoption of constructivist approach, the objectives of mathematics teaching and the notions of active leaning approaches in teaching and learning mathematics. By acknowledging the similarities, the study concluded with recommendations. To improve the quality of mathematics education in Ethiopia, Mathematics teachers should be given continuous (pre-service and in-service) training on the existing curriculum/syllabus, especially, on the constructivism, active learning and continuous assessment. Unless, it is hardly possible to achieve the purpose the curriculum was reformed for.
China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) is the agreement signed by China and Australia after nearly 10 years of negotiations. Due to its broad scope, advanced systems of trade and investment, the agreement is one of the deepest regional integration agreements relating to China since the Free Trade Agreement signed in 2002 with ASEAN. Therefore, its signing and implementation have a great significance to deepen Sino-Australia bilateral trade, investment, and to bring the benefits of both sides, the stability and security of the Asia-Pacific region.
Since 1980s, the discussion over debt hovers around such questions as how does debt matter and what are its implications on the economy in the short and long run. It also hovered around answering questions like whether public debt was a burden on the present generation in whose lifetime the debt was created or the future generations in whose lifetime the debt has to be serviced / retired. According to the views of "new orthodoxy", it is the present generation, in whose lifetime the debt is created, that bears its burden since the transfer of real resources to the government deprives the current generation of the benefit of these resources and it is forced to sacrifice current consumption as a consequence. While future generation is not burdened at all. However, critiques of this view claim that current generation is not burdened at all, while the future generation is burdened by either having to pay taxes to compensate bond holders (Buchanan, 1958) or through lost capital formation(1961).
Various factors play an important role while considering the burden of public debt like interest rate, strains and frictions imposed on the economy, ratio of total debt to total national income, unemployment, impact of work incentive, saving propensities, impact on income distribution etc. Another important question is whether the system of financing a project by means of public debt shifts the burden to the future generation? This paper focuses on the inter relationship between public debt, public expenditure and GDP of India.
Equality is the most basic and important human rights, and it is the basis of citizens' exercising other rights. There is still a gap between the legal provisions and the protection of equality in China, and there are still wide inequalities in political, economic and cultural rights. Its deep roots are mainly the lack of human rights concepts and the recognition of equal rights.
Legal theory belongs to an inner part of legal practice and displays its meaning in legal practice. Practical teaching links are of great significance to the cultivation of law undergraduates' ability. Although the universities pay more attention to practical teaching, and in law practice teaching level has achieved some results, at this stage China's legal undergraduate education in practical teaching links there are still issues relating to teaching content, teaching arrangements, teaching conditions. This paper puts forward suggestions to strengthen practical teaching, optimize practical teaching content and reform practical teaching method of jurisprudence.
With the comprehensive national strength and the strong international influence, there are an increasing number of foreign students coming to China for higher education. The education and management of the overseas students have become an important part to promote the internationalization of Chinese education. Considering their differences and similarities, it is necessary to improve the teaching and management of international students from the following aspects: respecting cultural tradition and focusing on cultural differences; encouraging pre-class and after-school learning along with promoting team work; the establishment of diversification teaching methods and the emphasis on practical teaching links; improving the overseas students' management system as well as strengthening the supervision and feedback mechanism.
With the speeding up of globalization and the advent of the era of big data, preschool English education has been thriving in recent years. Though preschool English teaching resource continues to develop, there are still some defects and space for its improvements. The analysis of the significance of preschool English "flipped classroom" development combined with its present situation in the era of big data and the corresponding strategies put forward in this article aim to promote the vigorous development of preschool English education.
Utterance is used to communicate with each other. Partners in communication always send out constantly information to expect listeners to give some response. This effect of utterance has greatly enlarged the scope of utterance analysis, so we should explore, in utterance analysis, how utterance keep indirect (even contradictory) relationship with language itself.
New methods of studying are mainly focused on a more simple, better and faster way of gaining knowledge and skills of pupils. A simple test in a class shows that it's easy to conclude that a practical way of making these methodological strategies work is suitable for most of the pupils. The simulations of natural social processes are one of those methods which are basically not used in the process of teaching very often, especially in social subjects. This is not very used method but has a huge potential and my goal in this article is to give an example of its possible usage and to outline the most important parts of simulation as a method of learning in schools.
To improve the utilization of laboratory resources, our research team emphasis the students as the principal part in nursing practice teaching. To improve students' learning initiative and the effect of nursing practice teaching, based on the campus network, members of our research team developed a network-based student self-management of nursing practice teaching management platform. This paper is focused on the development of the students self-managed practice teaching management platform and its applications.
The objective of this study is to discuss the effect of extended care pattern of systematic discharge instruction on the self-care ability, skin and nutriture, compliance with rehabilitation and readmission rate of stroke patients. The method: 150 cases of stroke patient were randomly divided into study group and control group with 75 cases for each group, both groups of patient received the same routine care and discharge instruction during hospitalization, the patients in study group were administered with a systematic discharge instruction and formulation of extended care measure for intervention 3 days before discharge, which lasted for 6 months. Result: the difference in Barthel scoring and Braden index scoring, percentage of patients with a risk of malnutrition and care satisfaction on day 2 after admission and before discharge between two groups of patient was not statistically significant (P>0.05), according to the comparison done at two time points: month 1 and 6 after discharge , the patients in study group were significantly higher than the ones in control group in terms of Barthel scoring and compliance with rehabilitation scoring, while in terms of Braden index scoring, percentage of patients with a risk of malnutrition and readmission rate, the patients in study group were significantly lower than the ones in control group, the inter-group comparative difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); It is found that the intervention based on extended care pattern of systematic discharge instruction can improve the self-care ability, compliance with rehabilitation of stroke patients, and reduce the incidence rate of pressure sores, risk of malnutrition and readmission rate.
Management is the fundamental core course of the economic management major, but the existing classroom teaching model is unable to meet the teaching goals in terms of theory and practice. With the development of internet, big data and other new technologies and educational theories, new education platform MOOCs occurs, which integrates law of psychological behavior and education science. Featured by the "large-scale" learner quantity, "diversified" status and "humanized" teaching model, it is different from the classroom teaching, which is a useful complement to the traditional teaching methods. Hereby the characteristics of MOOCs teaching mode are analyzed and summarized, combined with the study of COP theory, focusing on the knowledge creation in the management course teaching process, to explore individualized and modular interactive T-L model design.
With the advent of the post-industrial era, the ecological environment of the bureaucratic organization has undergone tremendous and profound changes, and the cooperation organization is expected to become the future direction of organizational transformation. But the transformation process from bureaucratic organization to cooperation organize remains a critical connection point, and because of the multi-center network, equality, openness, etc., the network organization has become an effective connection of the bureaucratic organization and the cooperation organizations.
Dunhuang documents have a history of more than one hundred year since they were discovered. This paper has made a overview for the research findings of Dunhuang documents with respect to medical literatures since the discovery of Dunhuang documents, and meanwhile pointed out the defects of as well as made a prospect of studies on Dunhung medical documents.
To investigate if emotion influences risk assessment, and to determine if this effect depends on the opportunity and time available for deliberation, we replicated an experiment of Finucane and colleagues by offering participants two kinds of affective information (low benefit vs. high benefit) and two different judgment conditions (immediate judgment vs. deliberation prior to judgment). We also included a distraction judgment condition to test how the passage of time affects emotion's influence on risk assessment. The hypothesis tested here was that individuals' risk assessment would be influenced by the high and low benefit affective conditions, and that this influence would change per whether participants made these judgments immediately, after time for deliberation, or after a period of distraction. The results showed that neither the main effects of affective information and judgment condition nor the interaction between these two factors were significant, with all F's <1, all p's > .394. Thus, the findings of Finucane et al. we're not replicated in the current study. Exploratory analyses suggested that a possible reason for this replication failure may be that the items we used were not novel, and therefore less likely to show an effect of the information we provided about them.
Poetic characteristics, one of the basic characteristics of drama language, exists in Xixiang Ji, wrote by Wang Shifu in the Yuan Dynasty. The poetic characteristics in it mainly display in three aspects, namely "the image of language", "the music of language" and "the cultural elegance of language". Whether these features can be interpreted appropriately and accurately affects the appreciation of the target texts and the re-presentation of poetic features in target texts. Because of its unique artistic charming, there are many translators interpreting it, such as Xu Yuanchong, West and Idema, Hart etc. This paper will, from the perspectives of cognitive metaphor, make a comparative study on the C-E (Chinese-English) translation of poetic characteristics in Xixiang Ji. Based on the findings of this study, some examples about the C-E Translation of poetic characteristics in Xixiang Ji are commented on and some strategies about the C-E Translation of poetic characteristics in Xixiang Ji are put forward.
In view of the characteristics of sparse sexual text classification, this paper proposes a kind of semi-supervised text classification algorithm based on the characteristics of ant colony algorithm. The method applied in this paper is to increase the effect factor of the concentration of pheromone ant colony aggregation to extended ant pheromone diffusion mode and propose the ant population marker based on Top-k strategy and randomly selected candidate judgment confidence into the ant population classification. This paper selects the 20 Newsgroups corpus for experimental test and EM algorithm as compared algorithm. It has obvious advantages in terms of the index of F-1 degree as well as precision ratio and the recall ratio.
In this paper, the issue of H∞ observer-based controls for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear fractional-order systems is investigated. By adopting the indirect Lyapunov method with the diffusive representation, the sufficient conditions of the observer gains are given in the form of some linear matrix inequalities (LMI) formulation, which is developed for nonlinear fractional-order systems with disturbances.
In distributed systems threshold cryptosystems are important to avoid single point of failure. This paper studies threshold decryption in the context of Certificateless Public Key Cryptography, aiming to avoid costly management of certificate in Public Key Infrastructure and settle the matter of key escrow in Identity-Based Cryptography. Combining Paterson and Al-Riyami's security model of certificateless encryption schemes with the notion of threshold cryptography, an improved certificateless threshold decryption structure is constructed. Furthermore, we present a new security model concerning certificateless threshold decryption schemes. Compared with previous studies, our study is more generic and effective because of less requirement of broadcast information. The new scheme which consists of ten algorithms can not only remove the problem of the centralization of decryption power by means of distributing the power among several servers, but also be proved secure in the proposed adaptive adversarial model. Security proof can be presented under the condition of hard computation of a problem in relation to Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Problem in the random oracle model.

At Afrihost, we always strive to give you more. Which is why, if you don't have an existing DSL account with us, you get 1GB FREE DSL Data when ordering your line – If you have a Capped DSL Package you will qualify for a FREE GB on that product.
We charge less for an DSL Line than Telkom does, that alone is reason to choose Afrihost. Also, you can change at any time and never be double charged for your service as we only start charging you once telkom stops.
We don't lock you into any long term agreement. If you change your mind about us, you can simply cancel before the 23rd of the month.
Let us manage everything regarding your DSL line faults. We can upgrade or downgrade your DSL line speed, however, we do not manage Telkom voice lines and associated products.

Subtle, Stylish and Smart
Your sense of style is uniquely you. Let vívosmart 3 complement that style without trying to overshadow it. Featuring a slim, inconspicuous band, vívosmart 3 is as hip as anything in your wardrobe. Even better, it's a master of subtlety. The tracker's hidden display is only visible when you want it to be. When you're not using it, it disappears into the device. It's the perfect companion for the office, the gym, the pool and everywhere in between.
Daily Fitness Monitoring
Thanks to Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology1, vívosmart 3 activity tracker is full of great features that let you get a better idea of your current fitness level. For example, it's our first dedicated activity tracker to offer VO2 max estimate. It can even estimate your fitness age, which you may be able to decrease over time with hard work and regular exercise.
All-day Stress Tracking
vívosmart 3 tracks your heart rate beat by beat, known as heart rate variability (HRV). You can look at this graph right on your device anytime you're sitting or at rest. When the level starts to move up, it indicates that your stress is getting higher. What causes this? Any number of physical or emotional external sources. vívosmart 3 helps you recognise when this is happening so you can find a way to relieve the stress.
Automatic Activity Tracking
vívosmart 3 activity tracking capabilities include steps, floors climbed, calories burned, intensity minutes and more. Move IQ™ automatically detects exercises such as walking, swimming, cycling and elliptical training. It can also automatically start a timed walk or run activity. So you're free to get up, get moving, and let vívosmart 3 capture your active life. As always, you can review your activities later on Garmin Connect™, our online community.
Your Personal Rep Counter
Gym rats, rejoice. We're adding a companion to your workout — or more specifically, a companion that's great at keeping count. When you start a strength training activity on vívosmart 3, the device will capture your exercises, reps and sets along with your work and rest times so you can leave the notebook at home. That data gets pushed to Garmin Connect during your next sync so you can review your workout in even greater detail.
Smart Notifications and Smarter Features
To help keep up with your busy lifestyle, you can view emails, text messages and social network notifications right on your wrist. Other features that help you stay linked with life include automatic uploads to Garmin Connect and compatibility with TrueUp™, which lets you synchronise multiple activity trackers. The ability to find your phone and music controls are also available right at the wrist.
Connect and Compete
Keeping an eye on your activities and achievements is easy. vívosmart 3 activity tracker1 automatically syncs to Garmin Connect, our online community where you can review your progress, join challenges and even share via social media. Garmin Connect is free and available on the web or on your smartphone with the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app.

Over the years, I have had several friends come and go, and with it, lots of heartache. This time in my life is no different, and I find myself asking, "what's wrong with me?" Am I the problem? What about me causes people to move away from me? According to these friends, it's me, I'm the problem, so why shouldn't I believe them? I wonder if anyone would miss me if I were gone.
Am I the problem
