Cisco CCNA Certification Exam Tutorial: Configuring And Troubleshooting VTP
Not only is your CCNA exam going to have questions on VLAN trunking protocol, almost any network that has more than one VLAN is going to have VTP running. Whether you're planning on passing the CCNA exam or just brushing up on your networking skills, this VTP tutorial will help you learn the basics of this important protocol.VTP allows switches to advertise VLAN information between other members of the same VTP domain. VTP allows a consistent view of the switched network across all switches. When a VLAN is created on one switch in a VTP server, all other VTP devices in the domain are notified of that VLAN’s existence. VTP servers will know about every VLAN, even VLANs that have no members on that switch.Switches run VTP in one of three modes. In server mode, VLANs can be created, modified, and deleted on a VTP server. When these actions are taken, the changes are advertised to all switches in the VTP domain. VTP Servers keep VLAN configuration information upon reboot.In client mode, the switch cannot modify, create, or delete VLANs. VTP clients cannot retain VLAN configuration information upon reboot; they have to obtain this information from a VTP server.In real-world networks, this is generally done to centralize the creation and deletion of VLANs. An interesting side effect of the server/client methodology is that if a

did have these multiple relationships but that it was only allowed because of the hardness of their hearts. Well, who's in charge here! God seems to give up rather easily when humans won't go with the program. "Ok, since you don't want to do it, go ahead. But I don't like it." Divorce also was only permitted because the men did it anyway but "from the beginning it was not so." But actually from the beginning it has always been so.

Marriage in the Old Testament was not the romantic one on one affair that is required to be in our time. In our day, the Church demands that a young couple promise upon pain of eternal judgement and death that they will never change, ever. Then the Church conveniently forgets to mention that from the moment they make their vows, everything else in the universe will begin to change. A little unrealistic.

Even the New Testament says that the Elder must be the husband of one wife, as if other members did have more than one but could not be an elder unless they pared it back to one. But the New Testament, unlike the Old where men have multiple female relationships, is a book where the leading men have little or none. Twelve guys, with no female relationships, save maybe Peter, following one guy around and then celebate guys telling everyone else how to be married, raise kids and enjoy a woman. Makes no sense. There are no male/female relationships in the New Testament of any worth. It's the unspoken taboo as we see in the reaction to the Da Vinci Code today. The Gospel of Philip indeed describes Mary M. as the "one who was called his companion", i.e. the companion or wife of Jesus. Jesus "loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often on the mouth....The rest of the disciples offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, 'Why do you love her more than all of us?'..." Jesus is said to have replied, "why does she love me more than you?" You can see why this book did not make the cut! Kissing.......ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

Life Insurance 101
First of all, life insurers (also known as carriers) offer more than just traditional life insurance. One of today's hot products is Long Term Care (LTC), we will talk about LTC in another article. They also offer products like Annuities, Critical Illness and Disability Income insurance. You can purchase these products through agents, which typically sell only the carrier's product they are associated with, brokers which sell products from various carriers and on your own through the Internet.An introduction to Life Insurance products starts with the two basic categories that life insurance products fall into. These are those with Cash Value and those without Cash Value. An insurance policy with a cash value is a policy that has a value for the insured that they can borrow or withdraw from. Cash value is built up by paying premiums to build up your cash value. Typically, those without cash value are Term Insurance products. Those products with a cash value, typically are investments that last until you die. A Whole life policy and a Universal life policy are examples of policies with a cash value.In this article, we will concentrate on term life policies. These are the most common types of policies and do not have a cash value. You purchase a term policy for a specific amount of time, usually 10 or 20 years. Since these policies have

2 Samuel 12: GOD IS NOT HAPPY WITH KING DAVID'S SHENANAGANS

1 "And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: 3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. 4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him."

Great story here! Enough to make any caring man angry which is exactly what it was intended to do. It is a story about having "one little ewe lamb," even though she was evidently one "ewe la la" type ewe! But it was his. She belonged to him and was his prize possession. Middle Eastern men possessed their women like farmers possessed cows and sheep, oxen and asses. Not committing adultery in the Ten Commandments was a function of it being wrong to take a man's property. Coveting was a function of taking a man's property, animals and oh yes, wife. If he trashed her, you could take her. A married woman was property and all laws punishing her unfaithfulness were designed to prevent not knowing who the father of her children were and associated inheirtance rights of those children. Before DNA testing, there was the fear of stoning to keep a woman having only the children of the one man. It insured a positive DNA test! The one man, however, could enjoy as many wives as he could afford. Stoning kept women honest about who dad was.

5 "And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: 6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man."

Doh! David fell right into that trap. He got compassonate toward the little lamb, angry at the man and pronounced judgement on him...actually on himself, for having taking Bathsheba from Uriah and gotten Uriah killed in the process. But now it get's interesting.

"Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon."

Notice what the issue here is. David killed Uriah and took his wife Bathsheba. This is bad stuff to be sure. But it is not an issue of the rightness or wrongness of having multiple wives. David already had that and evidently, if he needed more houses, power and wives, God would have been more than happy to do that. Just don't kill a man and take his! The issue seems more one of killing off a great soldier than taking his wife in the process. But no matter. God is saying that if David needed more wives, more women, more variety, all he had to do was ask and "I would have given thee such and such things." Such and such is almost code for "the women...tee hee." Guy to guy stuff more than God to guy stuff!

10 "Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die."

Well David now has to be punished. So he gets "the sword not deparing from his house." Never mind that the sword was a part of every kings house and war has raged between them all since there were kings. This is really nothing new. It's not like there was great peace in the land and now it would get nasty. Notice also that God was going to take David's wives. David had wives a plenty. He could afford them. No one minded and it was rather expected and God never brought it up until he took one from a favorite soldier and got him killed doing it. So God says that his wives would be raped that very day in front of David. No evidence this ever happened, but notice, the poor women pay for David's "sin" not David. Would have been more real if God said, "now David, today YOU will be raped in front of your people." But that's not how it works. The women always pay and get to be the rapee to punish the guy. Notice that David quickly says, "I'm sorry." and just as guickly, Nathan says, "No problem, we forgive you, we had to say this, you'll be fine." See how easy it is for guys? Meanwhile, the ladies are out in the yard getting raped by who knows who and how. I hope this did not really happen.

14 "Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. 15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? 19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. 20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. 21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. 24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him."

Well, once again, it's not David that gets punished, but an innocent baby that never gets to survive David and Bathsheba's relationship. Maybe it was a girl anyway so easier to let go of. I suppose they were sad, but they graciously accept it, get back to worship and have another cute little boy who goes on to be Solomon, the wisest guy on the planet so they say along with being the most wealthy who has 500 wives and 700 Concubines in his own stable in due time. Maybe a deformed or handicapped child would have taught a better lesson, as that was also the ignorant belief of the day, but not so this time. The Lord ends up loving them all and David gets to be "a man after God's own heart." So see it all works out!

It is common to say that they did have these multiple relationships but that it was only allowed because of the hardness of their hearts. Well, who's in charge here! God seems to give up rather easily when humans won't go with the program. "Ok, since you don't want to do it, go ahead. But I don't like it." Divorce also was only permitted because the men did it anyway but "from the beginning it was not so." But actually from the beginning it has always been so.

How to Write Emails That Get Opened and Read
To write emails that get opened and responded to, you must keep to these important basics:• “From” line – show clearly who you are (preferably your personal name, not your business name), or the receiver may think your email’s spam and delete it.• Subject line – the most important part of the email (like the teaser on an envelope, or a sales letter headline).To avoid the spam filters, leave out the following from your email subject lines:$, ?!words in ALL CAPSsalenewinvestmentpowerpowerfulmaximizeprofitmoneyextra incomeopportunityspecialbuyOkay, what should you include in your email subject lines?Curiosity subject lines work best. Something like “John, this idea might ...”Inserting the person’s first name in the subject line also helps to get your email opened.Also, leaving the sentence unfinished (ending with an ellipsis) creates emotional tension, as the recipient has to open the email to discover what it’s about.And the word “this” in the subject line also helps to get your emails opened.• Short – people have little time to read their barrage of emails.

A New Consumer Law in Spain-Not Only Protecting The Consumer
There is a new consumer law in Spain. Finally. But think about it; laws are reactive – first there is the incident, then the law to prevent the future ones.First the incidents. What is the problem?I’ll tell you from my own example. My previous neighbor -- an old lady -- wanted to terminate her contract with a telephone provider. She decided to go back to her previous service provider (and trust me, she had her reasons. She send the company a fax as required to terminate the contract, but later when she inquired she learned that "the fax was never received." Probably lost somewhere on the same cable, I joked then. The company continued to charge her afterwards, until she finally by intermediate support of the consumers’ organization got her money back. Ok, this is not my own example. That 's up next. In fact I moved from one place to another and -- it was not possible to continue the service (we are talking about the same service provider) and I had to terminate the service (again by sending a fax) and request for a new service at my new home. I send a fax to terminate the contract -- as requested -- and as my previous neighbor I went back to the main phone provider.That was in October. Now in January I’m still paying for a service I do not longer receive.“Consumer and Sanitation Minister Elena Salgado told the Congress of Deput

10 Surefire Ways to Add Sizzle to Your Brochures
Businesses rely on brochures as their front line in communicating their products or services. Yet according to Shannon Cherry, APR, many find them not as successful because they underestimate the skills and resources necessary to publish attractive and effective materials.“Most people forget a brochure is important because it represents you to the world and reflects your image,” says Cherry, president of Cherry Communications, a public relations and marketing firm that helps businesses, entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations be heard.“But the best brochures do more than impress,” she says. “Effective copy and design can intrigue, inform, convince and capture customer business just as an effective salesperson does. Brochure effectiveness is linked to an audience-appropriate marketing strategy that drives the design process.”Cherry shares the following top ten list of hints can help your brochure put its best foot forward:1. Keep headlines short. According to studies, headlines with fewer than ten words get more readership.2. Focus your headline on your target audience. Show a picture of your target group and make sure the headline has the groups description in it. For example: If you are targeting moms, uses a headline like, “Moms Know Best.”3. Keep text lines at a comfortable length. Body copy lines should never be

Catholic priests, in time past, were married and even had multiple relationships but that was ended in the Middle Ages by the Church so that any properties amassed by the clergy in their lifetimes would go to the church and not the wife. In time, celebacy was required across the board for Priests, but that was a value added law by the Church and not Biblical in any way. An unmarried Rabbi in Judaism had little credibility and it didn't happen from what I understand.

The point is that relationships are more fluid in reality than they are in Church or in Bible Land. Men got off rather easily with many perks, while women paid and paid and paid for the sins of the men by having to be raped, thrown out and sent into the desert to teach the man a lesson. Go figure. Taliban Christianity is not much different today.

Empathy is the magical word in human to human interaction. It means feeling as the other person feels, not just with them. It means putting yourself in their shoes and shaping your attitudes accordingly. Beyond getting the order, the plus factor in selling is to make people look good in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. Rather than sell to them, we help them buy.

The path of an entrepreneur is riddled with hardship, obstacles, discouragement, unexpected detours, pitfalls, steep ledges and uncertainty. But there is a simple formula that, if followed, will generate an obscene amount of success for any entrepeneur, and in any market. And this formula has never failed-

It is important to be careful while choosing a screensaver with music. That’s because the moment the screensaver gets activated, the musical piece accompanying it begins to play. While the same visual images can be escaped by simply looking in another direction, the music surrounds the user no matter where he or she is looking. And, if the computer is placed in a common space, then in addition to the user, people who are around also need to like the music, or at least be able to continue with what they are doing without getting disturbed.
