Acquisition Will Add 3,000 New Customer Connections
CAMDEN, N.J. (March 29, 2021) – New Jersey American Water announced today it has signed an agreement to acquire the water and wastewater assets of Egg Harbor City, N.J. for $21.8 million. The municipally owned water and wastewater systems serve approximately 1,500 customer connections each, or 3,000 combined, and are being sold through the state’s Water Infrastructure Protection Act process. New Jersey American Water anticipates completing the acquisition in the second half of 2021, following approval from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
“We look forward to providing the residents of Egg Harbor City with reliable water and wastewater services, as we do for over 192 municipalities across the state. Our plan will help rebuild and modernize the town’s infrastructure for continued quality and increased reliability while stabilizing rates and providing excellent customer service from our local operations center,” said Cheryl Norton, president of New Jersey American Water.
Under the agreement, New Jersey American Water will invest $14 million in the first 10 years to make needed upgrades to the city’s water and wastewater systems, including $9 million in the first five years, while keeping rates stable for customers. Some of these projects include construction of an emergency interconnection with the New Jersey American Water regional system for resiliency, water and sewer main replacements, valve and hydrant replacements and wastewater pump station improvements.
“This agreement provides tremendous benefits for our residents. The sale of our city’s water and wastewater systems to New Jersey American Water will provide over $21 million to help the city pay off existing debt while leaving additional money to assist in other areas of the city’s budget. Additionally, the company is committed to investing $14 million into much-needed system improvements. All told, this means better infrastructure, stable water rates and millions in funds for the city, none of which would be possible without the sale of the system,” said Mayor Lisa Jiampetti.
The pending sale is being executed through the state’s Water Infrastructure Protection Act (WIPA), a 2015 law which facilitates the sale or lease of municipally owned water or wastewater systems that meet certain criteria. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection certified the city’s request to pursue sale via the WIPA path in April 2019. The City then commenced an almost two years long competitive and public procurement process. Egg Harbor City is the first municipality in New Jersey to pursue a sale of its systems using the WIPA path.
Once the sale is completed, customers will receive information from New Jersey American Water to facilitate a smooth transition. Egg Harbor City residents will be able to take advantage of the company’s customer service benefits, including online account management and billing information and an assistance program, H20 Help to Others, for qualifying customers needing help paying their water and sewer bills.

Zinc is a trace mineral used by our body for many different functions. In this article, we’ll be talking about its many benefits as well as dietary and supplemental sources.
The recommended daily allowance as set forth by the US government (which means it’s probably not all that helpful, but we’ll use it anyway as a starting point) is 11 mg for adult men. For women its 8mg. Pregnant women need more while children need less.
In any case remember that this is the lowest amount recommended to avoid deficiency. And much higher amounts can sometimes bring therapeutic effects. Although it is called a trace mineral you need more of it than many of the other trace minerals.
Zinc is an essential mineral for many functions within the body. Below are some of those roles highlighted.
- Growth and Development
- Immune Response as its Used in Killer T-Cell function
- Neurological Function as it plays an essential role in neurotransmitter function
- Reproduction Health as a lack of zinc may lead to infertility
- Over 300 different enzymes depend on zinc to catalyze chemical reactions
- Zinc is used in the structure of cell membranes and proteins
- Helps regulate gene expression
- Plays a role in cell signaling
- Influences hormone release
- One study found giving zinc to athletes resulted in greater post-workout testosterone boosts
- Zinc enhances the conversion rate of androstenedione to testosterone
- Some researchers state that zinc is a promising anti-cancer nutrient
- Plays a role in apoptosis (the important regulatory process of programmed cell death)
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Helps with insulin sensitivity
- Can help support detox of heavy metals in the body
- An excellent antioxidant
- Used in the contraction of muscles
An estimated 2 billion people worldwide are believed to be affected by dietary zinc deficiency. Severe zinc deficiency can cause many genetic disorders, thus being an important mineral for would be parents.
Some of the best regular sources of zinc can be found in shellfish, veal, lamb, liver, and pork. Zinc in animal sources tends to be highly available.
One of the classic zinc foods is oysters. The great lover Casanova was said to consume many oysters every single day. One of the reasons that men require more zinc than women is because it is a critical component in semen. It is also critical for the “sex” hormones.
Nuts and legumes are also fairly high in zinc. One of the best-recommended sources of zinc is pumpkin seeds. The problem here is that phytic acid, found in these as well as grains, inhibits zinc absorption. This can be remedied by soaking and/or sprouting nuts, seeds and legumes before use.
One thing to be aware of is that for both plants and animals the amount of zinc they’ll contain depends on what is available in their food supply which all comes down to the soil. In the 1930’s farmers went in front of Congress to tell them the soil was basically depleted of this mineral. That means any commercially grown crops, and also probably most organic ones as well, won’t have as much zinc as may be necessary. If it was bad then its even definitely worse now!
Unfortunately, there is a good chance you will not be getting sufficient amounts of zinc from your diet alone unless you’re very particular and smart about it. It is commonly told that white marks in your fingernails are a sign of zinc deficiency. Pretty much my entire life I’ve had these marks but here is a picture from today.
Did you know that Polyrhachis ant has the highest known content of zinc of any living organism on the planet? It even beats out oysters. And unlike straight zinc supplements it has many other benefits too, on top of being very absorbable in the body.
Note: We have found that this is not true with the different suppliers of ant we have tried out. We have even tested a top herbal brand and found that they market this fact and yet it is not true. Because of this we no longer market our Black Ant has being a good source of Zinc. This does not mean the claim is not true as it could be that wild ants that make their nest in old, wild ginseng roots (as is claimed where the best tonic ants come from) do indeed possess high levels of zinc but until we can find such a source, we will not claim this. Updated Feb. 15, 2017
He Shou Wu also contains a fair amount of Zinc.
Note: This is also not true of the He Shou Wu we have tested but it could be a matter of how old the roots are. Most cultivated He Shou Wu will be relatively young. This does not mean the plant shouldn’t be consumed as it possesses certain compounds that have other desirable actions on the body. Updated Feb. 15, 2017

Anti-crime tips poured into Boston police last year at five times the rate they did just two years ago, saye the Boston Herald. The newspaper says the surge “seems to spell the end of the deadly Stop-Snitching subculture that allowed thugs to bully Hub neighborhoods into silence.” Said officer Mike Charbonnier, who runs the city’s Crimestoppers unit, “If it's not dead, I hope that it's in intensive care. It all adds up to less tolerance for a violent culture.”
The flood of information to cops coincided with the rollout of a first-in-the-nation, anonymous, text-message tip line last year and a media blitz that included radio commercials, billboards, and bus stop ads telling residents how to contact police if they have information about a crime. “I'm thrilled with it, no doubt about it, the numbers are increasing,” said police commissioner Edward Davis. “We're getting a better handle on what's happening in the neighborhood. I think the more effective we are at establishing a connection with the community, the more the community will trust us.” Last year police got 732 phone calls to the anonymous Crimestoppers line and 523 text messages. That's up five-fold from 2005, when the murder rate hit a 10-year high, and Mayor Thomas Menino declared war on the popular “Stop Snitchin' ” T-shirts sold at hip hop clothing stores. That year cops got just 249 tips about crimes.

Put down those chocolates because we have an even sweeter treat for you - a real tear jerker in the best possible way.
One of the most rewarding benefits of working on a historical battleship is discovering hidden treasures from her past. Our Engineering crew has been tirelessly working forward of the ship’s Post Office when a staff member found a letter in a coffin locker located in the 6th Division berthing area. The letter was dated May 8, 1990. It was addressed to a CTR3 William Gaudreau and signed by a woman named Vicky.
Mike Weidenbach, Curator at the Battleship Missouri Memorial, used the power of Google to search for William and Vicky. He knew it was a long shot, but continued searching, hoping to discover a long lost connection to the Mighty Mo. Eventually he uncovered a phone number and decided to make the call. He left a message and soon after he received a very promising phone call from a Mrs. Victoria Gaudreau.
“How crazy is this?” said Victoria after learning that her misplaced letter was found 25 years later. “What a flashback!” William was assigned to serve onboard the USS Missouri during the spring of 1990, just a few months after she and William began dating.
Victoria later told us that she believes the letter was meant to be found as she and William will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary next year. They had a small and simple wedding on the bank of Lake Massabesic in Manchester, New Hampshire. “We always dreamed of something bigger someday,” said Victoria. “Finding the letter did spark the idea of having a vow renewal onboard the decommissioned USS Missouri, almost coming full circle so to speak.”
2016 will be a very special year for this couple as their anniversary coincides with William’s retirement from the Navy. William is a Senior Chief and the Assistant Cruptologic Resources Coordinator for the Pacific Region. His command is the Navy Information Operations Command right here in Hawaii and he is currently serving onboard the USS Makin Island.
After 16 years, our Mighty Mo team continues to discover personal items that have been left behind by former crew members. “These items make the Missouri personal,” said Mike Weidenbach. “They remind us that sailors lived and worked in every space aboard…they make it real for us.”
We are happy to announce that the original letter was safely returned back to Victoria and William Gaudreau. What started off as a simple letter to a loved one is now a part of the history and is a story to be shared. #ShareMore

US aid to Venezuela driven by more than just need
MIAMI, United States (AP) — It was billed as the beginning of the end for Nicols Maduro. With foreign leaders in tow and the world watching, anti-Maduro activists gathered in Colombia in February 2019 with the aim of pushing entire warehouses worth of aid — flown in on US military cargo planes — across the border into Venezuela.
Instead, the humanitarian convoy was violently blocked by security forces loyal to Maduro — the first in a series of miscalculations in the Trump Administration’s policy toward Venezuela.
More than two years later, the risky gambit is being questioned by a US Government watchdog. A new report by the inspector general at the US Agency for International Development raises doubts about whether the deployment of aid was driven more by the US pursuit of regime change than by technical analysis of needs and the best ways to help struggling Venezuelans.
The findings were published April 16 but have not been previously reported.
The report focuses on the frenzied few months after opposition leader Juan Guaid rose up to challenge Maduro’s rule, quickly winning recognition as Venezuela’s rightful leader by the US and dozens of allies.
As part of that effort, USAID, between January and April 2019, spent $2 million to position 368 tons of emergency supplies on the Caribbean island of Curacao and on the Colombia-Venezuela border.
Under Guaid’s orders, the aid was supposed to be delivered into Venezuela in defiance of Maduro, who condemned the effort as a veiled coup attempt. But when an opposition-organised caravan that tried to enter Venezuela was blocked at the border, at least one truck caught fire, destroying $34,000 worth of US-supplied aid.
As media attention turned away and Guaido’s fight to unseat Maduro unravelled in the months that followed, the US assistance was quietly repurposed. In the end, only eight tons ever reached Venezuela, with the remaining 360 tons distributed inside Colombia or shipped to Somalia, the report found.
The report said the US deployment of aid responded in part to the Trump Administration’s campaign to pressure Maduro rather than just coming to the aid of struggling Venezuelans.
For example, the assistance was needlessly delivered in giant Air Force C-17 cargo planes instead of cheaper commercial options that were available, the report said. Ready-to-use meals to fight child malnutrition were also sent even though USAID’s own experts had decided the nutritional status of Venezuelan children didn’t warrant its use at the time, investigators said.
To bolster Guaid, USAID — believing UN agencies had been co-opted by Maduro — minimised funding to the United Nations even though some UN agencies had infrastructure inside Venezuela to distribute the aid. A Venezuelan nonprofit organisation, which isn’t identified by name in the report, was awarded funding partly based on its alignment with US foreign policy interests even though doubts persisted about whether it could meet the agency’s legal and financial requirements.
The “directive to pre-position humanitarian commodities was not driven by technical expertise or fully aligned with the humanitarian principles of neutrality, independence and being based on needs assessments”, the report said.
While international aid workers at the time issued similar warnings about the risks of assistance being politicised — the aid convoy in Colombia was preceded by a “Venezuela Live Aid” concert organised by billionaire Richard Branson — the findings of a US agency tasked with auditing how US tax dollars are spent carries additional weight.
The report, which was nearly two years in the making, was prepared to address challenges and “fraud risks” in USAID’s response to the Venezuelan crisis. It contains six recommendations to improve coordination across the sprawling agency — the main vehicle for US foreign assistance — and strengthen controls to avoid politicising humanitarian action.
A USAID spokesperson said the agency welcomed the report’s findings, which it is implementing, and all efforts to improve the effectiveness of USAID’s work, especially in challenging environments.
Many of the decisions came from the office of then-USAID Administrator Mark Green, according to the report.
“The verbal direction did not establish clear accountability nor did it provide justification for decision-making,” the report said.

Croydon, New Hampshire residents Dennis and Cathy Griffin sought to have their 12-year-old grandson Clayton attend Mount Royal Academy in Sunapee, New Hampshire. Croydon has no middle school, so it pays Croydon students’ tuition at nearby private or public schools. This practice is called tuitioning. It is made possible by RSA §193.3, which says that towns lacking public schools for any grade level can pay students’ tuition at public or private schools of the parent’s choice. But when the Griffins tried to use the tuitioning program, they were deemed ineligible because Mount Royal Academy is a Catholic school and §193.3 prohibits towns from paying tuition to sectarian (i.e., religious) schools. The Griffins have sued the NH Department of Education, claiming that §193.3’s “sectarian exclusion” is unconstitutional.
A recent Supreme Court decision supports the Griffins’ claim. Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue (2020) involved a Montana Department of Revenue prohibition on using funds from a state scholarship program to attend religious schools. The Supreme Court held that state governments cannot exclude religious organizations from a student aid program just because the program affords students the choice of attending religious schools. Such exclusion violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits government from infringing the free exercise of religion. Like the Montana provision in Espinoza, §193.3 excludes religious entities from a generally available aid program on the basis on their religion. It violates the Free Exercise Clause by running afoul of Espinoza’s central principle: states “cannot disqualify some private schools solely because they are religious.”
Removing the sectarian exclusion would have three additional benefits. First, it would foster uniformity. Other programs, like NH’s education tax credit scholarship program, serve students regardless of whether they choose to attend a secular or religious school. §193.3 should do the same. Second, there is a growing demand for the support and flexibility provided by tuitioning programs, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Removing the sectarian exclusion would enable more families to have more options. Third, removing the sectarian exclusion would chip away at NH’s shameful Blaine amendment. Senator James Blaine tried to amend the U.S. Constitution to prohibit states from funding any “religious sect” (19th century code for “Catholic”). His attempt failed, but 38 state constitutions adopted Blaine’s amendment. While the repeal of NH’s Blaine amendment is ultimately necessary, removing the sectarian exclusion from §193.3 would be a welcome step in the right direction.
A counterargument to the Griffins’ claim is that allowing religious schools to participate in the tuitioning program would violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment (prohibiting establishment of a national religion) because state money would flow indirectly to a religious entity. But the Supreme Court already dealt with this argument in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris and Espinoza: “Any Establishment Clause objection . . . is . . . unavailing because the government support makes its way to religious schools only as a result of Montanans independently choosing to spend their scholarships at such schools.” The same is true in this case. Whether money ends up at a religious school is entirely dependent on parental choice, not a governmental desire to establish religion.
In sum, §193.3 excludes otherwise qualified entities from participating in a generally available funding program solely because of their religion. Espinoza made it clear that such exclusion violates the Free Exercise Clause. The Griffins should win what looks to be a short fight.

Local musician Andy Nelson is set to perform his first physical live gig in four months at El Guapo Cantina this Saturday as part of Bathurst Regional Council's initiative to usher in a return for live music.
The gig will be El Guapo's first ever live music event, and Nelson said he's excited to get back into the swing of gigging.
"It'll be nice to set up all my gear again and figure out a sound that will suit the space," he said.
"I only went to El Guapo for the first time the other day and I wish I'd visited sooner; it's such a cool little venue."
Nelson's last series of gigs prior to the COVID-19 lockdown were part of a two-week tour of Western Australia, and has since been busy spending time with his family and writing new music.
"My approach towards previous music has been very deadline-orientated, but this period has allowed me to take a step back and take a different approach to writing," he said.
"I've written maybe half a dozen songs already, and it'll be interesting to head into the studio with some music ready to go."
Nelson's debut album, Man on the Mountain, was released in June last year.
The gig will get under way from 6.30pm and will be live streamed via Nelson's Facebook page.

By combining multiple electron coincidence detection with ionization by synchrotron radiation, we have obtained resolved spectra of the ion created through the double Auger effect. The form of the spectra depends critically on the identity of the atom bearing the initial hole. High and intermediate level electron structure calculations lead to an assignment of the resolved spectrum from ionization via the S 2p hole. From the analysis it appears that the double Auger effect from closed shell molecules favors formation of doublet states over quartet states. Molecular field effects in the double Auger effect are similar to those in the single Auger effect in linear molecules.

Nuremberg rallies to repair crumbling Nazi heritage site
Officials in the German city of Nuremberg have announced controversial plans to spend up to €70m (£60m) on renovating the city’s vast yet dilapidated Nazi Party rally grounds, used by the documentary filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl as a haunting backdrop for her Hitler propaganda film Triumph of the Will.
The 11 sq km site, which includes 24 towers and a so-called “Zeppelin Tribune” from which the Nazi leader gazed out on to the uniformed ranks of the party faithful, was designed in part by Albert Speer, the Nazi minister who was also Hitler’s chief architect. It was never completed.
But the complex, which is visited by more than 200,000 tourists a year, has been slowly disintegrating since the end of the Second World War, and several structures are now in danger of collapsing altogether.
Nuremberg’s mayor, Ulrich Maly told Süddeutsche Zeitung today that the sorry state of the rally grounds had left the city council with some awkward choices. “Demolishing the buildings would provoke international outrage – so we are going to renovate the complex, but this does not mean that we are sprucing it up,” he insisted.
Mr Maly said that although parts of the complex had been demolished in the 1960s to make way for housing, further demolition was now impossible as the site was protected. He said many in the city were in favour of simply allowing the rally grounds to go on disintegrating as it would “symbolise the passing of an era” that was meant to last 1,000 years.
Yet the mayor pointed out that if the city allowed the buildings to decay unchecked, it would be obliged to fence them in or otherwise put them off limits in order to protect the public. “So we have decided to renovate to a certain degree,” Mr Maly said. “But we shall not be looking to match the original sandstone.”.
The renovation work will also ensure that graffiti left by Allied soldiers at the end of the war will remain untouched and that repairs are carried out on a mosaic on the ceiling of the Zeppelin Tribune’s so-called “Golden Hall”.
The site was the centrepiece of Riefenstahl’s film of the 1934 Nazi Party rally, which portrayed Hitler as a virtual demi-god who descends on Nuremberg in his private plane. He is welcomed by thousands gleefully chanting “Sieg Heil” and giving the Nazi salute.
Despite being a blatant Nazi propaganda film, Triumph of the Will has been described as “possibly the greatest documentary ever made” because of the revolutionary techniques used to make it. The film remains banned in Germany.

In its first official decision since its formation, the Connecticut Medical Marijuana Program Board of Physicians voted yesterday to expand the list of conditions treated legally through medical marijuana. The three new treatable conditions are sickle cell disease, psoriasis arthritis and Post-Laminectomy Syndrome.
Members of the public as interested parties have the right to petition the board for new conditions to be included for legal prescription of medical marijuana in the state of Connecticut. During the Dec. 3 meeting, the board heard testimony petitioning for the recognition of sickle cell disease, Tourette Syndrome, psoriasis arthritis and Post-Laminectomy Syndrome as treatable conditions. The December meeting ended with the proposal left unresolved. During yesterday’s meeting, however, the board voted to approve the use of marijuana for three of the four proposed conditions — excluding Tourette Syndrome — lengthening the list of conditions eligible for medical cannabis from 11 to 14.
Board member and Yale psychiatry professor Deepak D’Souza personally opposed the board’s decision to expand medical marijuana coverage because, he said, there is no clinical evidence of marijuana’s supposed medicinal properties.
D’Souza said, furthermore, that there is no scientific explanation as to why one medication would work for four separate conditions with no common pathology.
“There is nothing in common between sickle-cell and psoriasis, and I find it difficult to believe that one drug could herb heal conditions so drastically dissimilar,” he said after the meeting.
D’Souza cited a letter from the Connecticut State Medical Society that urged caution in expanding medical marijuana coverage considering the lack of high-quality data.
The letter warned against expanding the list based on public sentiment instead of data on dosage, side effects and drug interactions.
Although some experts have questioned the expansion given the lack of clinical data, board member Godfrey Pearlson noted that marijuana’s illegal status complicates the ability of physicians to test it under properly structured clinical conditions.
John Roberts, medical director of the Adult Sickle Cell Program at Yale-New Haven Hospital, testified during the December meeting on behalf of his patients, many of whom claimed that cannabis helped alleviate their pain. Although he said his patients claim to have benefitted from cannabis, he too acknowledged that there is a lack of clinical evidence to support the drug’s medicinal properties.
Kris Hermes, media specialist for Americans for Safe Access, a grassroots medical marijuana advocacy organization, said that he believes that cannabis is an herbal medicine and should be regulated as such. To market herbs as medicine, manufacturers are not legally required to clinically demonstrate their efficacy and safety.
Connecticut became the seventeenth state to legalize medical marijuana in 2012 through a statute that protects registered patients from arrest when using or possessing up to a one-month supply of medical cannabis. Patients and caregivers registered with the Department of Consumer Protection may purchase medical cannabis from state-licensed dispensaries. However, no personal cultivation is allowed.
Americans for Safe Access allots grades to states concerning the stringency of marijuana regulation, with an ‘A’ indicating looser policies. The state of Connecticut has a D+ due to restrictions on the lists of conditions for which medical marijuana can be prescribed, the illegality of personal cultivation, restrictions on caretakers and minors and the amount of marijuana supplied to patients at dispensaries.
The first licensed Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facility opened on Aug. 20, 2014.

“Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the cornfield.”- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Bardoli Movement: The Bardoli Satyagraha was launched in 1928. It was a movement is led by Sardar Vallabhai Patel for the farmers of Bardoli against the unjust imposition of taxes. Mahatma Gandhi also played an important role in this movement.
The Peasant Revolt(1946): In Telangana, this peasant revolt in Hyderabad was a pivotal moment in Indian history. It had a great impact on the future of the communist movement in India. It highlighted the degenerated condition of the Indian peasantry. It brought the struggles of the farmers in limelight and educate people about the sacrifices made by the people of this region in fighting against the autocratic rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad.
The Tebhaga movement: In Bengal, the Tebhaga movement was one of the major movements in Indian history. This movement was commenced by sharecroppers who demanded two-thirds of the harvest for themselves and one third for the landlord.
The Green Revolution(1967–1978): The Green Revolution was one of the most successful campaigns as the productivity of global agriculture increased drastically as a result of new advances being made in agricultural practices. The newly developed pesticides controlled weeds, killing insects and preventing diseases resulted in higher productivity.
Farmer’s Protest against Farm Bills(2020-21): After the government launched 3 contentious Farm Bills, various farmers and their union went on a protest for around 14 months, demanding the repealing of the Farm bills. The 3 farm bills were the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020. Farmers from the regions of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh were active participants of this protest.
#NationalFarmersDay is observed on December 23, on the birth anniversary of the fifth Prime Minister of India Chaudhary Charan Singh, who was committed to the wellbeing of the farmers.#KisanDiwas@lg_ladakh @FerozKhan_Kgl @santoshsukhdeve pic.twitter.com/5eOO2RyaMN— DIPR Kargil (@DIPR_Kargil) December 23, 2021

The Blackburn Buccaneer is a British carrier-capable attack aircraft designed in the 1950s for the Royal Navy (RN). Designed and initially produced by Blackburn Aircraft at Brough, it was later officially known as the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer when Blackburn became a part of the Hawker Siddeley Group, but this name is rarely used.
The Buccaneer was originally designed in response to the Soviet Union’s Sverdlov-class cruiser construction programme. Instead of building a new fleet of its own, the Royal Navy could use the Buccaneer to attack these ships by approaching at low altitudes below the ship’s radar horizon. The Buccaneer could attack using a nuclear bomb, or conventional weapons. It was later intended to carry short-range anti-shipping missiles to improve its survivability against more modern ship-based anti-aircraft weapons.
The Buccaneer entered Royal Navy service in 1962. The initial production aircraft suffered a series of accidents due to insufficient engine power, which was quickly addressed in the Buccaneer S.2, equipped with more powerful Rolls-Royce Spey jet engines. The Buccaneer was also offered as a possible solution for the Royal Air Force (RAF) requirement for a supersonic interdictor carrying nuclear weapons. It was rejected as not meeting the specification in favour of the much more advanced supersonic BAC TSR-2, but the cost of the TSR-2 programme led to its cancellation, only to be followed by the cancellation of its selected replacement, the General Dynamics F-111K. The RAF purchased Buccaneers and American Phantom IIs as TSR-2 substitutes, the Buccaneer entering service in 1969.
The Royal Navy retired the last of its large aircraft carriers in 1978, moving their strike role to the British Aerospace Sea Harrier, and passing their Buccaneers to the RAF. After a crash in 1980 revealed metal fatigue problems, the RAF fleet was reduced to 60 aircraft, while the rest were scrapped. The ending of the Cold War led to a reduction in strength of the RAF, and the accelerated retirement of the remaining fleet, with the last Buccaneers in RAF service being retired in 1994 in favour of the Panavia Tornado. The South African Air Force (SAAF) also procured the type. Buccaneers saw combat action in the first Gulf War of 1991, and the South African Border War.

Novelist Niq Mhlongo Writes about Learning the Marabi Dance
30 Mar 2017
PEN SA member Niq Mhlongo writes about The Marabi Dance by Modikwe Dikobe:
There is a book that when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was your old friend or a relative of yours that you could call up on a phone and congratulate them on the excellent work. That is what Modikwe Dikobe’s Marabi Dance did to me. The book left me with a sense of satisfaction and completeness.
While reading this book, I found my mind flying freely like a bird in the sky, into the past that I have only heard of. It was an escape to a nostalgic past that I’ve never lived. I could hear the voices of the elders in the stokvel parties in Soweto as they fondly talked about the past. I could visualize them talking about the ‘olden days’ music groups such as the Manhattan Stars and The Harlem Swingsters. I could picture them doing their mesmerizing Marabi Dance at jazz sessions.
The book Marabi Dance is like an intimate and engaging diary of survival, history of the subalterns, their communality, ubuntu, and culture. It vividly explores the township or slum life of the 1930’s and 1940’s in the squalid Doornfontein area in Johannesburg. Without romanticizing the past, it describes the triumph of the human spirit over adversities such as overcrowding, unemployment, patriarchy, segregation, influx control, police raids and gangsterism. Through this book you get a sense of how life used to be like back then for black people in slum areas such as Vrededorp, Prospect Township, Doornfontein, George Goch, City Suburbs, New Clare, and Sophiatown. This is before these black people were forcibly removed to modern townships such as Soweto.
The book is written in simple English and it depicts the complexities of the older traditional rural values with the urban values. It does this through the main character called Martha, who grew up in Molefe Yard, in Doornfontein slum in the 1930’s. Like the majority of the characters in the book, such as Reverend Ndlovu, Martha is caught between tradition and the Johannesburg City life where traditional values and practices are under siege. Her parents are trying by all means to inculcate the discipline of the traditional way of life in her but this is impossible because the allure of the Johannesburg City, with its freedoms and promises, outweighs the traditional rules of engagement. Martha’s dilemma is that she has to face and survive the male dominated music industry, her parents who don’t want her to be a singer and the marauding gangs such as Ama-Russia.
While reading this book, I couldn’t help but make parallels between the life of the fictional Martha in Marabi Dance with those of the likes of mama Dolly Rathebe, mama Miriam Makeba, mama Thandi Klaasen, and mama Dorothy Masuku. In his collection of essays and short stories, one of the famous Drum writers of the 1950’s, Can Themba wrote about mama Rathebe and how she got into music, acting and becoming famous. In Marabi Dance, Dikobe writes about how the main character, Martha, became a singer and all the problems she encountered. For me, Marabi Dance shows beyond reasonable doubt that the powers of the past have influence over, if not control of, what is happening in the present.
Marabi Dance is an important book that I think must be compulsory for everyone to read. It made me realize that the past is still the present concern in South Africa, and that the present is the consequences of the past.

In brief – Late-20th century London
It took decades for London to recover from the Second World War. New satellite towns were established away from the city and government policies transferred employment to other parts of the country. For the first time in centuries London’s population decreased. The capital had long been Britain’s leading manufacturing centre but many businesses departed during the war. Instead, financial services and service industries prospered. The vast network of docks and riverside wharves were ill-prepared for changes in cargo-handling and closed. After much procrastination the new ‘Docklands’ district took their place.
Following the Second World War it was decided to mark the centenary of the Great Exhibition with a festival of Britain’s design, industry and technology. A twenty-seven acre site was acquired on the South Bank of the Thames at Lambeth between County Hall and Waterloo. Herbert Morrison of the London County Council led an organising committee of distinguished figures. Some of Britain’s brightest designers created structures, buildings and themed pavilions. The only part intended to be permanent was the Royal Festival Hall. The Festival of Britain lasted eight months and was a great success, with eight and a half million people paying to visit during that time.
Manufacturing industry experienced a boom during the First World War, as London’s many factories were kept busy producing military equipment and other wartime requirements. The reverse was true during the Second World War as German bombers targeted London’s docks and factories. For centuries London had been Britain’s leading manufacturing city but in just five years businesses were forced to move away in order to survive the onslaught. Many that departed did not return and with much of the infrastructure obliterated industry continued to migrate away from London in the 1950s. Factories and warehouses were gradually abandoned throughout the capital.
Despite the great destruction, the Port of London began to function again after the war and by the early 1950s had already surpassed pre-war tonnage, aided by more efficient goods-handling. An all-time peak was reached in the early 1960s but the port’s cargo boom of the 1950s was to be short-lived. The collapse of the British Empire meant a gradual decline in trade through London. Shipping methods had also changed, with a new style of ‘roll-on, roll-off’ container cargo for which the London docks were not prepared because an inflexible workforce had prevented modernization. After the war dockers, backed by militant unions, regularly went on strike, shutting the port for weeks on end. Between 1967 and 1980 all London’s docks closed with the exception of Tilbury further down-river. The vast area of docks lay empty and derelict with the loss of twenty five thousand direct jobs.
London’s main airports had been based at Croydon and Heston until civilian flights were suspended during the war but when they resumed the government decided to locate them instead at the airfield at Heathrow, which was more suitable for expansion. The new London Airport opened in 1946. Passenger numbers increased rapidly but there was a limit to how much the airport could expand, particularly in the number of runways. The old airfield at Gatwick to the south of London reopened as a commercial airport in 1958 followed by Stansted in the 1960s on a former United States Airforce base, and the old RAF base at Luton to the north about the same time. The single-runway London City airport for short-distance flights opened at the former Royal Docks to the east of the City in the 1980s.
The City increasingly became dominated by one industry in the second half of the century: the financial services sector. At the end of the 1950s Britain’s foreign exchange controls were relaxed and the City took on a new international role as the key centre for currencies. Just a small number of foreign banks then had branches in London but by the end of the century there were few that could not afford to, and the City could list almost six hundred. Yet probably the most significant event to boost London’s position in the world’s finances was the ‘Big Bang’ that took place in October 1986. Rules that separated different kinds of financial institutions were discontinued, allowing them the possibility to offer a full range of services to their clients. A year before Big Bang the Bank of England had relaxed the rule that banking headquarters were obliged to be located within the City. During the same decade the government created a new enterprise zone in East London leading to the new financial district of Docklands.

Quarrel in Dayton night club ends with woman’s shooting death
Published 9:51 pm, Friday, July 4, 2014
An alleged argument between a man and woman at the Double “B” Oaks Club at 5999 SH 146 south of Dayton around 10:15 p.m. July 4 resulted in the shooting death of the woman.
According to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, preliminary interviews from witnesses suggests there may have been a confrontation between the victim and a male subject while inside the club. At some point, the victim went outside to the parking lot where shots were heard.
Witnesses are said to have observed a white male standing over the woman firing several shots at her. Two males then fled the scene north on SH 146 toward Dayton in a gray Dodge pickup truck.
A few minutes later, Dayton Police Cpl. Eric Ibarra and Officer Barry Leger stopped the vehicle on US 90 at FM 1409. The occupants reportedly resisted arrest but were later detained.
The men are being questioned by Liberty County Sheriff’s Investigator Brian Bortz and Sgt. Josh Cummins. Details of the crime may not be available until Saturday.
“At this time, both subjects are being detained and interviewed by investigators in an attempt to determine the motive for the shooting as well as any possible relationship between the victim and the subject who may have done the actual shooting,” said Capt. Ken DeFoor, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office.
It was later reported that the female victim passed away as a result of the gunshot wounds at Memorial Hermann Hospital after being transported there by Hermann Life Flight.
Additional information will be released after investigators have had time to interview all witnesses and determine the correct circumstances. No charges have been filed at this time and the investigation is continuing.

Brittany Ferries will charter two new cruise-ferries to serve its long-haul UK to Spain routes in 2021.
The investment underlines the company’s commitment to Portsmouth and its Spanish routes and comes after work this spring on a new LNG cruise ferry called Honfleur for its most popular Portsmouth – Caen crossing.
Like Honfleur, which arrives in 2019, both new ships will be registered under the French flag and will be crewed by French seafarers. Both new ships will be built at the Avic International Weihai shipyard in China.
Together the three ships will spearhead a wide-ranging, five-year fleet-renewal and modernisation programme worth around £400m.
Portsmouth is Brittany Ferries’ UK hub and will serve as the base for both ships. Upon arrival they will cater for an ever-increasing demand for long-haul ferry travel to Spain. In 2017 the company operated 844 sailings on routes from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth to Santander (Cantabria) and Bilbao (Basque Country), carrying 331,000 passengers and 150,000 cars. That was around 80 per cent more than ten years earlier.
“Spain is by far the most popular foreign destination for UK holidaymakers, and we have seen significant growth in demand,” said Jean-Marc Roué, Brittany Ferries’ president.
“Post-Brexit, we expect this to continue. As well as passenger traffic, we believe that an increase in freight capacity will open the door to more hauliers seeking direct access between Britain and the Iberian peninsula.”
Last year, Brittany Ferries carried around 40,000 freight units from UK to Spain. Lorry drivers are able to relax as the sea takes the strain, reducing fuel costs, tolls and road pollution that comes from driving long-haul through France.
Measuring 42,400 tonnes and 215 metres long, the new vessels will be the longest in Brittany Ferries’ fleet. If Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower were laid on its side, each would outstretch it by 45 metres. These impressive dimensions will allow them to carry almost two miles of freight vehicles apiece.
The new ships are being chartered from Swedish shipping company Stena RoRo, as part of its new generation of state-of-the-art ‘E-Flexer’ vessels. Both will be gas-ready and promise a combination of luxury and Spanish style. “These ships will be like twins,” added Catherine Querné, Brittany Ferries strategy director. “Outwardly, they will have the same dimensions and shape, but they will be dressed very differently. And of course each will have its own unique personality.”
There will be plenty for passengers on board. Three spacious passenger decks will host boutiques, a café, restaurant, bar and an exclusive club lounge. Around 300 en-suite cabins will cater for approximately 1,000 passengers and many will be adapted for customers with disabilities, as well as those travelling with their pet dog or cat, Brittany Ferries carries around 70,000 annually.
Elegant décor will ensure everyone feels in the holiday mood as soon as they step on board. Brittany Ferries will be working with Spanish interior designers to give the ships a stylish, modern feel and feel, evoking the golden coasts, verdant landscapes and vibrant towns of España Verde (Green Spain) on the northern coastline.
The announcemed investment follows the launch of the first ever direct ferry service linking Ireland with Spain in April.
Brittany Ferries’ Connemara made its first call into Santander from Cork on 9 May 2018 and this year also marks 40 years of continuous services linking Britain with the Iberian Peninsula.
Since 1978 more than 5.5 million passengers have enjoyed Spain without the ‘plane thanks to Brittany Ferries.

CCNA2 v6.0 Chapter 6 Exam Answers 2018 2019
What are three primary benefits of using VLANs? (Choose three.)
- a reduction in the number of trunk links
- cost reduction
- end user satisfaction
- improved IT staff efficiency
- no required configuration
Security, cost reduction, and improved IT staff efficiency are all benefits of using VLANs, along with higher performance, broadcast storm mitigation, and simpler project and application management. End users are not usually aware of VLANs, and VLANs do require configuration. Because VLANs are assigned to access ports, they do not reduce the number of trunk links.
Which type of VLAN is used to designate which traffic is untagged when crossing a trunk port?
A native VLAN is the VLAN that does not receive a VLAN tag in the IEEE 802.1Q frame header. Cisco best practices recommend the use of an unused VLAN (not a data VLAN, the default VLAN of VLAN 1, or the management VLAN) as the native VLAN whenever possible.
A network administrator is determining the best placement of VLAN trunk links. Which two types of point-to-point connections utilize VLAN trunking? (Choose two.)
- between two switches that utilize multiple VLANs
- between a switch and a client PC
- between a switch and a server that has an 802.1Q NIC
- between a switch and a network printer
- between two switches that share a common VLAN
VLAN trunk links are used to allow all VLAN traffic to propagate between devices such as the link between a switch and a server that has an 802.1Q-capable NIC. Switches can also utilize trunk links to routers, servers, and to other switches.
What must the network administrator do to remove Fast Ethernet port fa0/1 from VLAN 2 and assign it to VLAN 3?
- Enter the no vlan 2 and the vlan 3 commands in global configuration mode.
- Enter the switchport access vlan 3 command in interface configuration mode.
- Enter the switchport trunk native vlan 3 command in interface configuration mode.
- Enter the no shutdown command in interface configuration mode to return it to the default configuration and then configure the port for VLAN 3.
When a Cisco switch receives untagged frames on a 802.1Q trunk port, which VLAN ID is the traffic switched to by default?
- unused VLAN ID
- native VLAN ID
- data VLAN ID
- management VLAN ID
A native VLAN is used to forward untagged frames that are received on a Cisco switch 802.1Q trunk port. Untagged frames that are received on a trunk port are not forwarded to any other VLAN except the native VLAN.
Port Fa0/11 on a switch is assigned to VLAN 30. If the command no switchport access vlan 30 is entered on the Fa0/11 interface, what will happen?
- Port Fa0/11 will be shutdown.
- An error message would be displayed.
- Port Fa0/11 will be returned to VLAN 1.
- VLAN 30 will be deleted.
When the no switchport access vlan command is entered, the port is returned to the default VLAN 1. The port will remain active as a member of VLAN 1, and VLAN 30 will still be intact, even if no other ports are associated with it.
Which command is used to remove only VLAN 20 from a switch?
- delete vlan.dat
- delete flash:vlan.dat
- no vlan 20
- no switchport access vlan 20
The command no vlan vlan-id is used to remove a particular VLAN from a switch. The delete vlan.dat and delete flash:vlan.dat commands will remove all VLANs after reloading the switch.
What happens to a port that is associated with VLAN 10 when the administrator deletes VLAN 10 from the switch?
- The port becomes inactive.
- The port goes back to the default VLAN.
- The port automatically associates itself with the native VLAN.
- The port creates the VLAN again.
If the VLAN that is associated with a port is deleted, the port becomes inactive and cannot communicate with the network any more. To verify that a port is in an inactive state, use the show interfaces switchport command.
Which two characteristics match extended range VLANs? (Choose two.)
- CDP can be used to learn and store these VLANs.
- VLAN IDs exist between 1006 to 4094.
- They are saved in the running-config file by default.
- VLANs are initialized from flash memory.
- They are commonly used in small networks.
Extended range VLANs are stored in the running-configuration file by default and must be saved after being configured. Extended VLANs use the VLAN IDs from 1006 to 4094.
A Cisco switch currently allows traffic tagged with VLANs 10 and 20 across trunk port Fa0/5. What is the effect of issuing a switchport trunk allowed vlan 30 command on Fa0/5?
- It allows VLANs 1 to 30 on Fa0/5.
- It allows VLANs 10, 20, and 30 on Fa0/5.
- It allows only VLAN 30 on Fa0/5.
- It allows a native VLAN of 30 to be implemented on Fa0/5.
The switchport trunk allowed vlan 30 command allows traffic that is tagged with VLAN 30 across the trunk port. Any VLAN that is not specified in this command will not be allowed on this trunk port.
Refer to the exhibit. PC-A and PC-B are both in VLAN 60. PC-A is unable to communicate with PC-B. What is the problem?
- The native VLAN should be VLAN 60.
- The native VLAN is being pruned from the link.
- The trunk has been configured with the switchport nonegotiate command.
- The VLAN that is used by PC-A is not in the list of allowed VLANs on the trunk.
Because PC-A and PC-B are connected to different switches, traffic between them must flow over the trunk link. Trunks can be configured so that they only allow traffic for particular VLANs to cross the link. In this scenario, VLAN 60, the VLAN that is associated with PC-A and PC-B, has not been allowed across the link, as shown by the output of show interfaces trunk.
Refer to the exhibit. DLS1 is connected to another switch, DLS2, via a trunk link. A host that is connected to DLS1 is not able to communicate to a host that is connected to DLS2, even though they are both in VLAN 99. Which command should be added to Fa0/1 on DLS1 to correct the problem?
- switchport nonegotiate
- switchport mode dynamic auto
- switchport trunk native vlan 66
- switchport trunk allowed vlan add 99
When configuring 802.1Q trunk links, the native VLAN must match on both sides of the link, or else CDP error messages will be generated, and traffic that is coming from or going to the native VLAN will not be handled correctly.
What is a characteristic of legacy inter-VLAN routing?
- Only one VLAN can be used in the topology.
- The router requires one Ethernet link for each VLAN.
- The user VLAN must be the same ID number as the management VLAN.
- Inter-VLAN routing must be performed on a switch instead of a router.
Multiple VLANs are supported with legacy inter-VLAN routing, but each VLAN requires its own Ethernet router link. Ethernet ports are limited on a router. That is why the router-on-a-stick model evolved. The user VLAN should never be the same number as the management VLAN and using a Layer 3 switch as a router is a modern technique, not a legacy one.
What is a disadvantage of using router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing?
- does not support VLAN-tagged packets
- requires the use of more physical interfaces than legacy inter-VLAN routing
- does not scale well beyond 50 VLANs
- requires the use of multiple router interfaces configured to operate as access links
Router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing does not scale beyond 50 VLANs. The router can receive VLAN-tagged packets and send VLAN-tagged packets to a destination. Router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing can utilize a single router interface as a trunk link to receive and forward VLAN traffic and does not require multiple interfaces.
Refer to the exhibit. Router RA receives a packet with a source address of 192.168.1.35 and a destination address of 192.168.1.85. What will the router do with this packet?
- The router will drop the packet.
- The router will forward the packet out interface FastEthernet 0/1.1.
- The router will forward the packet out interface FastEthernet 0/1.2.
- The router will forward the packet out interface FastEthernet 0/1.3.
- The router will forward the packet out interface FastEthernet 0/1.2 and interface FastEthernet 0/1.3.
The IP address 192.168.1.85 belongs to network 192.168.1.64/27. The valid host addresses in this network include 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.94. The IP address configured for the subinterface of Fa0/1.2 is in the same network, which serves as the default gateway for the VLAN 2.
Refer to the exhibit. In what switch mode should port G0/1 be assigned if Cisco best practices are being used?
The router is used to route between the two VLANs, thus switch port G0/1 needs to be configured in trunk mode.
A small college uses VLAN 10 for the classroom network and VLAN 20 for the office network. What is needed to enable communication between these two VLANs while using legacy inter-VLAN routing?
- A router with at least two LAN interfaces should be used.
- Two groups of switches are needed, each with ports that are configured for one VLAN.
- A router with one VLAN interface is needed to connect to the SVI on a switch.
- A switch with a port that is configured as trunk is needed to connect to a router.
With legacy inter-VLAN routing, different physical router interfaces are connected to different physical switch ports. The switch ports that connect to the router are in access mode, each belonging to a different VLAN. Switches can have ports that are assigned to different VLANs, but communication between VLANs requires routing function from the router.
Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator needs to configure router-on-a-stick for the networks that are shown. How many subinterfaces will have to be created on the router if each VLAN that is shown is to be routed and each VLAN has its own subinterface?
Based on the IP addresses and masks given, the PC, printer, IP phone, and switch management VLAN are all on different VLANs. This situation will require four subinterfaces on the router.
When configuring a router as part of a router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing topology, where should the IP address be assigned?
- to the interface
- to the subinterface
- to the SVI
- to the VLAN
The IP address and the encapsulation type should be assigned to each router subinterface in a router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN topology.
A high school uses VLAN15 for the laboratory network and VLAN30 for the faculty network. What is required to enable communication between these two VLANs while using the router-on-a-stick approach?
- A multilayer switch is needed.
- A router with at least two LAN interfaces is needed.
- Two groups of switches are needed, each with ports that are configured for one VLAN.
- A switch with a port that is configured as a trunk is needed when connecting to the router.
With router-on-a-stick, inter-VLAN routing is performed by a router with a single router interface that is connected to a switch port configured with trunk mode. Multiple subinterfaces, each configured for a VLAN, can be configured under the single physical router interface. Switches can have ports that are assigned to different VLANs, but communication between those VLANs requires routing function from the router. A multilayer switch is not used in a router-on-a-stick approach to inter-VLAN routing.
Which four steps are needed to configure a voice VLAN on a switch port? (Choose four).
- Configure the interface as an IEEE 802.1Q trunk.
- Assign the voice VLAN to the switch port.
- Activate spanning-tree PortFast on the interface.
- Ensure that voice traffic is trusted and tagged with a CoS priority value.
- Add a voice VLAN.
- Configure the switch port interface with subinterfaces.
- Assign a data VLAN to the switch port.
- Configure the switch port in access mode.
To add an IP phone, the following commands should be added to the switch port:
SW3(config-vlan)# vlan 150
SW3(config-vlan)# name voice
SW3(config-vlan)# int fa0/20
SW3(config-if)# switchport mode access
SW3(config-if)# mls qos trust cos
SW3(config-if)# switchport access vlan 150
A network administrator issues the show vlan brief command while troubleshooting a user support ticket.
- What output will be displayed? the VLAN assignment and membership for device MAC addresses
- the VLAN assignment and membership for all switch ports
- the VLAN assignment and trunking encapsulation
- the VLAN assignment and native VLAN
The show vlan brief command will provide information displaying the VLAN assignment and membership for all switch ports on a switch.
Refer to the exhibit. A router-on-a-stick configuration was implemented for VLANs 15, 30, and 45, according to the show running-config command output. PCs on VLAN 45 that are using the 172.16.45.0 /24 network are having trouble connecting to PCs on VLAN 30 in the 172.16.30.0 /24 network. Which error is most likely causing this problem?
- The wrong VLAN has been configured on GigabitEthernet 0/0.45.
- The command no shutdown is missing on GigabitEthernet 0/0.30.
- The GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface is missing an IP address.
- There is an incorrect IP address configured on GigabitEthernet 0/0.30.
he subinterface GigabitEthernet 0/0.30 has an IP address that does not correspond to the VLAN addressing scheme. The physical interface GigabitEthernet 0/0 does not need an IP address for the subinterfaces to function. Subinterfaces do not require the no shutdown command.
Match the IEEE 802.1Q standard VLAN tag field with the description. (Not all options are used.)
The IEEE 802.1Q standard header includes a 4-byte VLAN tag:
Type – A 2-byte value called the tag protocol ID (TPID) value.
User priority – A 3-bit value that supports level or service implementation.
Canonical Format Identifier (CFI) – A 1-bit identifier that enables Token Ring frames to be carried across Ethernet links.
VLAN ID (VID) – A 12-bit VLAN identification number that supports up to 4096 VLAN IDs.
Fill in the blank. Use the full command syntax.
The show vlan command displays the VLAN assignment for all ports as well as the existing VLANs on the switch.
Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then answer the question.
Which PCs will receive the broadcast sent by PC-C?
- PC-A, PC-B
- PC-D, PC-E
- PC-A, PC-B, PC-E
- PC-A, PC-B, PC-D, PC-E
- PC-A, PC-B, PC-D, PC-E, PC-F
Only hosts in the same VLAN as PC-C (VLAN 20) will receive the broadcast. The trunk links will carry the broadcast to ALS2 where it will be send to PC-D and PC-E, which are also in VLAN 20. PC-A, PC-B, and PC-F are not in the same VLAN as PC-C. This information can be verified by issuing the show vlan and show interfaces trunk commands.

Qingdao Haier Carrier Refrigeration Equipment Company Ltd., a joint venture established in 2001 by Qingdao, China-based Haier Group and U.S.-based Carrier, has won the bid to supply a transcritical CO2 ice-making system for the speed skating rink at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics in China.
The Ice Ribbon skating rink will cover an area of around 12,000m2 (129,167ft2) and have a maximum cooling capacity of 4MW (1,137TR). The system is a modularized semi-industrial system, according to a press release from Carrier, and the ice surface can be controlled “divisionally” to meet the requirements of five skating disciplines, including speed skating, figure skating and ice hockey.
The advanced refrigeration technology from Carrier will be able control the ice temperature variations to within 0.5°C (0.9°F), and the choice of CO2 coupled with efficient operation means the ice rink can save 2 million kWh of electricity each year after the Olympics, Carrier stated.
The decision to use transcritical CO2 for the 2022 Winter Olympics was announced in June 2019, but the identity of the contractor(s) has not been made public until now.
The use of CO2 as a refrigerant for the Olympics will result in a 26,000t reduction of CO2 emissions per year after the Games, according to the Olympic website.
It is the first time the Olympic Winter Games have deployed transcritical CO2 ice making technology, as the 2018 Games in Korea used R404A for all its rinks, according to Art Sutherland, president and CEO of Canadian ice arena contractor Accent Refrigeration Systems.
“But [the IOC] has an environmental committee and they wanted to have a green Olympics,” Sutherland stated at the 2019 ATMOsphere America Conference.

Pundit: Forget about Alexis Sanchez, these are Arsenal’s three key players
The former Arsenal midfielder names Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck as Arsene Wenger's most-important players
Charlie Nicholas has pinpointed Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck are Arsenal’s three key players.
The Gunners were 2-0 winners against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon thanks to goals from Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck.
Ramsey produced one of his best performances of the 2016-17 season as the Wales international ran the Arsenal midfield in the Premier League clash.
Arsene Wenger’s decision to start Welbeck paid dividends after the England striker’s powerful header to double the home side’s lead at The Emirates.
Mesut Ozil made two assists and two goals in April to rekindle some of his best creative form despite uncertainty about his Arsenal future.
Alexis Sanchez made an electric start to the current campaign but the 28-year-old’s form has dropped off in the second half of the campaign.
Speaking to his Sky Sports column about Arsenal’s most-important players ahead of their trip to Southampton, Nicholas said:
“Aaron Ramsey is playing in more of an advanced role and he’s much better when he can make those runs, while it also brings better balance to the team with him playing along with Danny Welbeck.
“Their movement brings more out of Mesut Ozil compared to the static Olivier Giroud.
“They are the three most important Arsenal players at the moment as Alexis Sanchez is just pretending to be really interested, coming deep to get the ball rather than really having a go at defenders.”
Arsenal are in sixth place in the Premier League table.

It's likewise essential to comprehend that the level of intensity of treatment will vary between inpatient as well as property rehabs.
You should most definitely speak with your doctor about your options. Depending on your individual scenarios, you could learn that outpatient therapy is the much better option. Usually, outpatient programs will certainly conserve you thousands of bucks. Nevertheless, they might not be able to provide multi-faceted recovery programs, as well as they may not be able to carry out medicines.
Outpatient vs. school-at-home
If you or a liked one is battling with addiction, you may have already decided to look for aid. It's important to know what you can get out of the various types of rehabilitation readily available. Outpatient and inpatient care have distinctive benefits and also limitations, so you require to choose what's ideal for you.
Inpatient treatment is best for serious drug abuse or psychological health and wellness conditions. It's made to provide people a protected atmosphere in which to work through their concerns.
Those with milder chemical abuse problems might find outpatient therapy helpful. Outpatient programs offer more flexibility, as well as allow individuals to proceed functioning or participating in school. The cost is likewise cheaper, as well as is typically available with insurance policy.
Inpatient rehabilitation needs that you stay in a rehabilitation center for the duration of the program. Those in inpatient treatment are additionally able to participate in team conferences with counselors each day. They're checked by doctor and also a psychoanalyst that can handle withdrawal as well as desires.
Regression prevention in Drug rehabilitations is an integral part of the recovery process. It helps to keep the concentrate on the future as well as out making use of. In the onset of recuperation, relapse can be a common occurrence.

Kory Minor is no longer the football head coach at St. Margaret’s, he announced Tuesday.
Minor coached the Tartans for five seasons.
His departure, Minor said, was “a little bit of both” when asked if it was his decision or the school’s decision.
“There are possibly big opportunities out there for me,” said Minor, who turns 46 on Wednesday.
St. Margaret’s this past season finished 5-7 overall and in third place in the Orange Coast League (4-2 league record).
The Tartans defeated Segerstrom in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division 11 playoffs and lost to South Pasadena in the quarterfinals.
St. Margaret’s in 2021 lost to Colony in the CIF-SS Division 9 championship game.
“In those six years I think I’ve done all I can do over here,” Minor said. “We made some great changes on and off the field.”
Minor was an NFL linebacker for four seasons. He also played at Notre Dame and Bishop Amat High.


The plans, submitted on Wednesday, February 3, include designs for a conference centre called The International, more than 630 homes and a hotel and spa complex, as well as 18,000 square feet of open space.
If approved, Royal Elm Park will see the creation of 1,000 construction jobs and 1,000 full time jobs which will remain once the development is completed.
Reading-based Barton Wilmore are both the planning and design consultants for the Royal Elm Park project.
What do you think about the Royal Elm Park designs? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below .
Plans also include a large park, about the size of one and half football pitches to run next to the houses with trees, wildflower meadows and children's play areas.
Nigel Howe, Chief Executive of Reading Football Club, commented: “Royal Elm Park is a unique opportunity for Reading to deliver a world-class convention centre that will put the town on the map and enable us to compete on a world stage.
"It will also benefit the football club and will be important for Reading’s future growth, attracting national and international investment and offering tangible benefits for local people with new homes, jobs and an improved match-day experience.”
At the heart of Royal Elm Park would be the Madejski Stadium and transport and facilities for fans are a large part of the plans.
New retail and leisure facilities would also be built, with shops and restaurants around a new public square which would be 8,000sqm a focal point for fans and those living there.
Kim Cohen, partner at Barton Willmore, said: "We are extremely proud to be part of this local flagship scheme that will not only bring considerable benefits to South Reading but also to the Thames Valley as a whole.
"South Reading is a focus for growth and regeneration within the Council's planning policy framework and this new mixed-use development has undeniable potential to contribute significantly, both socially and economically, to the enhancement fully aligning with the objectives of both national and local planning policy."
