A Fairer, Faster Internet Protocol
The Internet is founded on a very simple premise: shared communications
links are more efficient than dedicated channels that lie idle much of the time.
And so we share. We share local area networks at work and neighborhood
links from home. And then we share again—at any given time, a terabit
backbone cable is shared among thousands of folks surfing the Web,
downloading videos, and talking on Internet phones.
But there’s a profound flaw in the protocol that governs how people share the
Internet’s capacity. The protocol allows you to seem to be polite, even as you
elbow others aside, taking far more resources than they do.
Network providers like Verizon and BT either throw capacity at the problem or
improvise formulas that attempt to penalize so-called bandwidth hogs. Let me
speak up for this much-maligned beast right away: bandwidth hogs are not
the problem. There is no need to prevent customers from downloading huge
amounts of material, so long as they aren’t starving others.
Rather than patching over the problem, my colleagues and I at BT (formerly
British Telecom) have worked out how to fix the root cause: the Internet’s
sharing protocol itself. It turns out that this solution will make the Internet not
just simpler but much faster too.
This document discusses disaster avoidance and recovery strategies in vSphere, including stretched vSphere clusters and Site Recovery Manager. It begins by distinguishing between disaster avoidance, which aims to prevent disruption through actions like vMotion, versus disaster recovery which focuses on automation and restart after an outage. The document then examines different stretched cluster designs and considerations, such as the need for synchronous replication, network layer 2 equivalence, and controlling VM placement. It introduces technologies like VPLEX that provide distributed read-write storage. The document concludes by noting new features in vSphere 5 and SRM 5 that improve capabilities for disaster scenarios.

My life its legacy and message by pandit shreeram sharma acharyaBhim Upadhyaya
This document introduces the autobiography of Shriram Sharma Acharya titled "My Life – Its Legacy and Message". It explains that while the outward events of Acharya's life are known, he has resisted sharing details about his inner spiritual experiences and attainments. However, he now feels compelled to share his life story to provide guidance to genuine spiritual seekers and dispel misunderstandings about spirituality. Acharya hopes that understanding his philosophy and way of life can help others avoid disappointment on their own spiritual paths and realize the true potential of Riṣi traditions. He has spent 63 years implementing the principles and achieving the results of this spiritual science, which are visible for all to objectively examine.

The document summarizes the economic systems that developed in the colonies. A free-market economy existed where prices were not controlled by the king and each colony had its own government. Children would become apprentices at age 9-10, learning a trade and working for room and board until age 21 when they could work as a journeyman or start their own business. Indentured servants were people who could not pay for their voyage and worked for families for several years to pay off their debt. Slavery began as the tobacco industry grew and plantations required cheap labor for crops like rice, indigo, and cotton. The slave population in Virginia increased from less than 200 in 1640 to over 28,000 by 1700.

CDFs allow MPs to directly allocate and spend funds in their constituencies, bypassing traditional budget processes. However, CDFs have several negative effects:
1. They breach the separation of powers by giving legislative bodies executive budget functions.
2. They can weaken government capacity by fragmenting planning and oversight, skewing resources based on political interests rather than need, and potentially displacing local government funds.
3. They compromise the legislature's ability to oversee the executive by involving MPs directly in budget execution rather than oversight. Overall, CDFs undermine accountability and priorities of service delivery.

Early colonial governments in Massachusetts and Virginia (House of Burgesses, Mayflower Compact, Fundamental Orders of Connecticut) allowed colonists to make local decisions but ultimate authority rested with the King. Representation was limited to white landowners who could only vote on local matters. This limited representation and power would cause problems because the British government could pass laws over the colonies without their consent, akin to a foreign power making rules without input.
The document summarizes the stages of the cell cycle. It describes that during interphase DNA replicates and proteins are produced. In prophase, chromosomes form as the nucleus fades. During premetaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle. In metaphase, the chromosomes align in the center. In anaphase, the chromosomes move to opposite ends. Telophase sees the disappearance of spindle fibers. Finally, cytokinesis separates the cell into two sister cells to complete the cycle and interphase begins again.
The document shares photos of a luxurious mansion owned by a royal family in the United Arab Emirates. It discusses expensive cars and low gas prices. The majority of the document encourages sharing the message to appreciate blessings and pray for those suffering from poverty and lack of resources. It includes repeated pleas not to break the chain and to forward the message to others.

Duurzame expeditie voor docenten Maatschappelijke Diensttijdduurzame verhalen
‘Iets doen voor een ander is de kern van maatschappelijke diensttijd’, legt Rosanne van der Woude van ROC Friese Poort uit. Andere aspecten van maatschappelijke diensttijd zijn het ontmoeten van nieuwe mensen en talentontwikkeling. ‘Komend schooljaar willen we meer doen met duurzaamheid zoals energie, gezondheid en vitaliteit’. Dinsdag 18 juli 2023 gingen docenten Handel en Ondernemerschap in het kader van maatschappelijke diensttijd op duurzame expeditie naar het Wadden Center op de Afsluitdijk. Heleentje Swart van Vereniging Circulair Friesland inspireerde als gastspreker de docenten met haar circulaire praktijkervaringen.

Presentatie Francine Mestrum - Socius Trefdag 'Solidariteit?!' (20 november 2014)
Van het Glazen Huis van Studio Brussel tot het fonds van Bill Gates: vijftig jaar na de onafhankelijkheid van de Afrikaanse landen is de kritiek op de ontwikkelingshulp zeer groot. Ze werkt averechts en in plaats van aan onrechtvaardige structuren te tornen, houdt ze het dikwijls bij liefdadigheid die het geweten sust. Even groot is het contrast tussen de bescheiden millenniumdoelstellingen en de gigantische kapitalen die uit arme landen gesleept worden.
Francine Mestrum (ULB) neemt de kritiek op de ontwikkelingssamenwerking au sérieux maar pleit tegelijkertijd voor méér solidariteit tussen Noord en Zuid. Hiervoor zal de sector zich wel moeten hervormen. Er zal ook politieke ruimte moeten komen om structurele veranderingen mogelijk te maken.
De Sustainable Development Goals van de Verenigde Naties vormen een mooie basis om lokaal beleid op te stoelen. Herlinde Baeyens is al meer dan een jaar VN-jongerenvertegenwoordiger voor duurzame ontwikkeling van de Vlaamse Jeugdraad en leert je vanuit haar ervaring hoe
je aan de slag kan met deze ontegensprekelijk belangrijke doelen.

Blz. 11<br />Inleiding<br />Wij doen ons werkstuk over Memisa. Memisa is een organisatie die mensen in ontwikkelinglanden helpt met de gezondheidszorg.<br />Cordaid is van oorsprong een Nederlandse katholieke organisatie voor ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Cordaid is in 1999 opgericht in Den Haag met het ideaal mensen in nood te helpen en de armoede structureel te bestrijden.<br />Cordaid staat vooral bekend onder namen als Memisa, Mensen in Nood, Vastenaktie, Bond zonder Naam en Kinderstem. Cordaid heeft wereldwijd ongeveer 400 mensen in dienst waarvan 300 medewerkers in Nederland zijn gestationeerd en 100 naar alle uithoeken van de wereld zijn uitgezonden (2006). Het werkterrein van Cordaid ligt voornamelijk in het zuiden en heeft een besteedbaar budget van ongeveer 170 miljoen euro (2006).<br />Inhoud[verbergen]1 Geschiedenis 2 Fondsen 3 Programma's 4 Samenwerking 5 Externe link <br />[bewerken] Geschiedenis<br />Cordaid is eind 1999 ontstaan uit een fusie van twee katholieke ontwikkelingsorganisaties: Memisa Medicus Mundi (1925) en Mensen in Nood (1914), tegelijkertijd werd een intense samenwerking aangegaan met Bilance (Vastenaktie/Cebemo). Kinderstem was tot oktober 2004 onderdeel van Mensen in Nood. Om zich beter te kunnen richten op de kinderen in de sloppenwijken is besloten om Cordaid Kinderstem in een apart fonds onder te brengen. Cordaid Microkrediet werd opgericht in oktober 2006 naar aanleiding van het tienjarige jubileum van de microfinancieringsactiviteiten. Op 1 januari 2007 sloot Bond Zonder Naam (1938) zich aan bij Cordaid.<br />[bewerken] Fondsen<br />Cordaid bestaat uit zes fondsen, ieder fonds heeft eigen thema’s waar de nadruk op wordt gelegd.<br />Cordaid Memisa richt zich op structurele gezondheidszorg. <br />Cordaid Mensen in Nood richt zich op noodhulp en wederopbouw. <br />Cordaid Kinderstem biedt hulp aan kinderen in sloppenwijken. <br />Cordaid Bond Zonder Naam steunt kansarmen in de Nederlandse samenleving. <br />Cordaid Microkrediet verstrekt microkredieten aan kleine ondernemers in ontwikkelingslanden. <br />Vastenaktie ondersteunt jaarlijks een aantal ontwikkelingsprojecten. <br />[bewerken] Programma's<br />Minderheden. Sommige bevolkingsgroepen worden niet beschouwd als volwaardige burgers en hebben te maken met discriminatie, uitsluiting en armoede. <br />Sloppenwijkbewoners. Het bestaan van mensen in sloppenwijken kenmerkt zich door armoede, slechte huisvesting en onveiligheid. <br />Vrouwen en Geweld. Wereldwijd heeft gemiddeld één op de drie vrouwen ervaringen met geweld, verkrachting of andere vormen van misbruik. <br />Rampenpreventie en Noodhulp. Een ramp moet koste wat kost voorkomen worden. In gebieden met een verhoogd risico moeten bewoners worden voorbereid om schade en leed te beperken. Doet een ramp zich voor, dan zijn een snelle reactie en lokale kennis de belangrijkste vereisten. <br />Verzoening en Wederopbouw. Sommige landen zijn brandhaarden van conflicten, waardoor sociale verbanden en infrastructuur worden verwoest. <br />Toegang tot gezondheidszorg. In de meeste ontwikkelingslanden functioneert het gezondheidszorgsysteem slecht door gebrek aan middelen en personeel. <br />Zorg voor kwetsbare groepen. Kinderen, chronisch armen, mensen met een handicap en ouderen ontberen vaak toegang tot gezondheidszorg en onderwijs. <br />HIV/Aids. Met name de snelle verspreiding van de ziekte onder armen in ontwikkelingslanden is een groot probleem. <br />Kleine producenten. Kleine producenten hebben behoefte aan grond, materiaal en goedkope leningen, maar ook aan kennis en expertise. <br />Microfinanciering. Microfinanciering is als instrument breed erkend in de armoedebestrijding. Zeker voor vrouwen die voor een gezin moeten zorgen kan dit kansen bieden. <br />[bewerken] Samenwerking<br />Cordaid is vertegenwoordigd in drie internationale katholieke netwerken: CIDSE, Caritas Internationalis en Medicus Mundi Internationalis. Nationaal werkt Cordaid samen met andere hulporganisaties bij de Samenwerkende Hulporganisaties. Cordaid werkt ook samen met Agriterra, Darfur Emergency Response, Faith Based Network, I/C Consult, HIS, Pax Christi, MFP Breed Netwerk, STOP AIDS NOW!, United Civilians for Peace, Stichting Medisch Werk Mumbai en Wemos.<br />
