VMware's virtual networking components allow virtual machines to connect to each other and external networks through virtual switches and virtual ethernet adapters. Virtual switches are similar to physical switches but have some key differences, like not requiring spanning tree protocol. Virtual machines connect to virtual switches using virtual ethernet adapters that emulate physical network adapters. Virtual switches provide isolation between virtual networks and allow virtual machines to be configured into port groups and connected to external physical networks through uplinks.
Virtualization techniques emulate execution environments, storage, and networks. Execution environments are classified as either process-level, implemented on top of an existing OS, or system-level, implemented directly on hardware without needing an existing OS. Virtualization provides isolation and resource management for software through virtual machines, which are classified as either system VMs that mimic whole hardware systems allowing full OSes, or process VMs that support single processes and provide platform independence. The machine reference model defines interfaces between abstraction layers that virtualization replaces to intercept calls.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
This presentation was provided by Rebecca Benner, Ph.D., of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, for the second session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session Two: 'Expanding Pathways to Publishing Careers,' was held June 13, 2024.

Alerter,
Messenger, and
Net Logon.
Before changing any of the defaults - use the links above to find what exactly the
service does. The Elder Geek also has some good advice about services.
It is inadvisable to disable a service without being aware of the consequences, always
start by setting the service to manual, reboot and test for any problems.
A service set to manual may be automatically restarted if another service is dependent
on it.
A service set to disabled will not restart even if it's required to boot the machine!
Stopping or disabling a service will generally save a small amount of memory and will
reduce the number of software interrupts (cpu message queue.) The main reason for
tinkering with services is to harden the system against security vulnerabilities. Disable
everything that you don't need or use - then any future problems with those services
cannot affect the machine.
To document all the services currently installed:
SC QUERY state= all |findstr "DISPLAY_NAME STATE"
>my_services.csv
Some XP services communicate and send data directly to Microsoft, this is not
generally something to lose sleep over. Managing the running of these services may be
a consideration if confidentiality/anonymity is highly important to you.
Removing a service completely
18. To delete a service, you may be tempted to hack the registry settings under
(HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services) this is not a reliable or recommended
method, far better is to use the SC command:
SC delete NameofServiceTodelete
Enable or Disable Ports
Many services and applications rely on the use of a specific PORT - to determine if a
particular port is enabled for use, review the list of Service names and port numbers
held in the "services" file ('windowssystem32driversetcservices')
Installing a good firewall is the easiest way to manage this.
"The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is
obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not 'to have and
to hold' but 'to give and serve.' There can be no other meaning." - Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell
