1. IP v6 has a couple of advantages over IP v4. The first one being the address length is 128 bits, over 32 bits in v4. Multicasting allows, “Multiple destinations in a single send operation.” (ipv6.com, 2013) This allows for one to many communications over a network. This allows only one packet to be sent, and be sent to multiple receivers. A v6 packet has a header and a payload. The header has a fixed portion, containing the source and destination addresses, hop counter, and any classifying information. The address is eight groups of 16-bit values; shown as 4 hexidecimal digits. The biggest reason for v6 is that there was a need for more IP addresses and helps route the numerous packets over each network. The three types of addresses are unicast, multicast, and anycast. 2. One of the greatest changes in Internet usage in recent years has been the onset of high bandwidth video streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon streaming media. Although a notably larger number of American homes have access to higher bandwidth connections such as cable and 4G wireless speeds, the underlying infrastructure of the Internet remains largely the same as it has been for many years (Pandya, 2009). In Huston’s article, the concept known as ‘jitter’ is used to allow TCP traffic to adjust the packet delivery rate to compensate for data flow between endpoints on the greater WAN. In the case of streaming providers, it seems logical to assume that most consumers would see a higher amount of buffering than would be acceptable for such a service, especially from users of cellular networks. Although I was not able to find anything specific about how these various streaming applications are configured to accommodate jitter, I can make some inferences. In the case of streaming content from Windows Media Player, transmission is usually based largely on UDP traffic as opposed to TCP traffic (Li, Claypool, & Kinicki, 2002). In order for the stream to appear virtually seamless, it seems to indicate that the application or the server which sends the stream to the client has some sort of traffic analysis that may even pre-buffer content to reduce traffic bottlenecks. According to Li, Claypool, and Kinicki’s research regarding the differences between Media Player and Real Player, their research seemed indicative that the RealPlayer software itself managed the MTU of streaming traffic to limit the actual TCP stream from being buffered. It seems plausible, then, that the software client used by streaming providers may have a similar system in place which has allowed them to successfully deliver high-bandwidth video without a large amount of traffic breaks. .

1. John was driving his car in a careless way , failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions . Ramona was crossing the street in a careless way , failing to cross as a reasonably prudent person would . John struck and injured Ramona with the car John was driving. At the trial, it was determined that John was 80 percent at fault and Ramona was 20 percent at fault. The injuries sustained amounted to $100,000. Explain how much, if any, recovery Ramona would receive in a state that applies the contributory negligence rule. Do the same thing for a state that applies the comparative negligence rule. 2. An art collector commissioned an artist to create a sculpture for the collector. The artist wanted a substantial amount of money for the sculpture. This caused the collector some worry regarding possible dissatisfaction with the artwork once it was completed. To ensure that payment would be made only if the collector was satisfied with the sculpture, a condition was written into the commission contract. It required that the collector would have to be satisfied with the artwork, relying on the collector's taste and judgment, before an obligation of payment would be created. The artist imagined that a collector could possibly refuse a creation of his and allowed the condition to be placed within the contract. At the completion of the sculpture, the collector claimed that she did not care for the artwork and therefore refused to pay. Can the artist force payment in this situation? Would it help if the artist could establish that the collector actually approves of the sculpture but has temporarily run short on funds, and that this is the true motivating factor in refusing to accept the sculpture? 3. Rundles,Kreiger, and Larson formed a partnership to breed and show horses. Rundles and Kreiger each contributed $25,000 to the partnership. Larson contributed four(4) horses valued at 25,000.

If possible, Mary Miller would rather be taxed as a partnership. Mark Miller is worried about the additional paperwork and meetings that incorporation would surely bring. Sue Miller does not want a large board of directions to be formed. Sue fears tha the board would somehow detract from the family goals and orientation the business has always enjoyed.

1. Ivan Johnson owned a dilapidated apartment building in Olney, Illinois, which he rented to James and Cora Chester for a very low rental rate. While most apartments in the small city rented between $450 and $900 per month, Ivan rented the apartment to the Chester family for only $325 per month. Not only did Cora and James pay their rent on time, they also began to remodel and rehabilitate the apartment. Over the next four years they installed two new bathrooms, carpeted the floors, installed a new heating system, and rewired, repaired the plumbing, and painted the entire apartment. Ivan Johnson periodically stopped by and saw the work in progress, but he never said anything about the work to either Cora or James. In fact, over time the Chester couple had transformed the unit into a respectable apartment. Three years to the day after James and Cora completed the renovation work, Ivan Johnson served them with an eviction notice. James and Cora Chester filed a lawsuit (counterclaim) seeking the value of the work they had done to improve the apartment. REQUIRED: Discuss the arguments for Ivan Johnson, and discuss also the arguments for Cora and Ivan Chester. Who will prevail? Note the legal basis for each of your rulings (conclusion). After all, you must be the judge in this court! 2. Arthur Murray, Inc. is a national franchisor of dancing schools. Dancing Dean Bee is a franchisee in Florida. Dancing Dean made various contracts with Mrs. (Vivian) Vance, a 53-year old widow without surviving family. In fact, VV is still emotionally distraught over the loss of her husband of 33 years. While they had had no children and had lived together long enough to witness the deaths of their parents and siblings, VV and her husband had been incredibly happy. She was lonely and in deep despair. It was during this time that VV first responded to the offer of free dance lesson from the local Arthur Murray Dance School (franchisee Dancing Dean’s Arthur Murray operation). During this time of mourning and at all times herein, Dancing Dean paid incredible attention to Vivian Vance (VV), and he praised her potential greatness with continually flattering comments about her underdeveloped dancing skills. He tells her, “Vivian, with just a few lessons, I think you could compete in ballroom dancing contests. You are a natural.” In the end, over a period of sixteen months, VV had purchased a contract for 2450 hours of dance lessons for a total cash outlay of $49,500. After several weeks and billings of $17,500 for dance lessons, at each of which Dancing Dean and his employees would praise VV for her dance expertise and suggest that she could already compete in some regional ballroom dancing contests, VV extended her contract for another 500 hours. Even after deducting the payments she made for the $17,500 in dance lessons, she still owed $42,500 for future dance lessons (continuing her training for professional ballroom dancing..

1. In a certain sense, cinema began as an optical “trick.” The initial appeal of the Zoetrope, for example, was that it made flat, static images appear to move. Film, therefore, has always owed a debt to the public’s fascination with special effects. As we move through the 1930s, King Kong, the Wizard of Oz, even Dracula, all rely on the appeal of making the impossible seem real. Nevertheless, there are drawbacks to special effects. Think about it; have you ever seen a film or part of a film that was heavy with miraculous special effects that you found “silly,” or actually bored you? Name that film, the special effects presented, and try to explain why it bored you. Why do special effects sometimes spoil a film? Directions: Using word processing software to save and submit your work, please answer the following short answer questions. All responses to questions should be one to two paragraphs, composed of five to seven sentences, in length. Your responses should include examples from the reading assignments. 1. Identify the Big Five Hollywood studios (or "Majors") of the 1930s and summarize their strategies for weathering the effects of the Great Depression. 2. What types of film content caused problems for the major Hollywood production companies during the late 1920s and early 1930s? How did the Hays Office operate to protect, rather than hinder, the interests of the American film industry? Explain how Production Code regulations helped modify the content of Hollywood movies. 3. Pick two of the following stylistic categories: sound recording, camera movement, color, special effects, cinematography styles. Analyze how innovations within these categories influenced the development of the Hollywood style. In what ways did these innovations complement the aims of classical continuity filmmaking? 4. Pick two of the following genres: the war film, the gangster film, the screwball comedy, the musical. Describe the evolution of these genres between 1930 and 1945, and provide examples of representative films. 5. Compare and contrast the production practices of the top three animation studios of the studio era: Disney, Fleischer, and Warner Bros. What sorts of animation techniques did each specialize in? How did their individual expertise influence the style and makeup of the studios' signature characters? 6. Describe the immediate causes and effects of both of Britain's Quota Acts. In each case, how did these effects contribute to or hinder the consolidation of the British studio system? What kinds of films resulted from these acts? 7. Compare and contrast popular cinema in Japan during the early and middle 1930s to Japanese cinema during the years of World War II. .
