I was in the gym Cheap Dennis Rodman Jersey , pushing my adolescent muscles to their limit. The other dudes where there too, getting their various degrees of "pump" on. And there he was, the one we called "Pec Man? This cat looked like all he did in life was work his chest. His twin peaks of manhood bulged and glistened before us as he paused every 5 seconds to admire his life's work. Awe and envy filled the space whenever we beheld his mountainous presence.
One day a fit, but flat middle aged man approached PM and asked him what seemed like a straightforward-and immensely valuable-question, "How did you get your pecs so large?"
The weight room became eerily silent. Pimply teens and sagging mid-lifers alike leaned in to drink the elixir of this magnificent man's experience and advice. Soon Cheap Scottie Pippen Jersey , we too would have straining mounds of machismo under our tightly fitting, but tastefully demure shirts. Our bosses and girlfriends will approve. Our enemies will shrink. We will join the pantheon of the mighty. We would be legends.
"I work," he quipped. Stunned by the simplicity of the answer, we all let out a collective nervous chuckle. Of course he worked. We all did. We knew there was more to it than that, so Cheap Toni Kukoc Jersey , we drew in our breaths for the big answer,
Our hero, Mr. Mid-Life asked again, "Of course sir, you work Cheap John Paxson Jersey , and quite effectively I see." "I was wondering though, about what exercises you did in your work. What's your secret?"
Again, the air fairly thickened while we anticipated more muscle manna from this Olympian god. We would know what he knows. Soon, they would see our might and know we were men!
"I work hard," was his final answer as he returned to his incredibly intimidating lifting routine.
The first thought I had was one that remained with me for several years. "Jerk." "What a cop out." "That's no answer." "Everybody knows that hard work gets it done." At sixteen Cheap Zach LaVine Jersey , I'd already become conditioned to the idea that there is a magic pill or instant elixir that makes it all good in our lives. The truth is, if Pec Man had gone into vivid detail about his chest routine most of us would have been just as disappointed. That's because essentially all accomplishment requires what we like to derisively call "hard work". Few it seems, understand that fact. Fewer, still, want to hear it. Quite rare in modern western society are those who'll embrace that fact.
Another part of me though Cheap Michael Jordan Jersey , has come to realize that the Devil is indeed in the details. How we do a thing is as important as how hard we do it. Running north from Miami as hard as you can will never get you to Tokyo. So then, the answer to ?getting it done? lies in the simple combination of doing the right work and doing it the right way. But why do it anyway? Why have massive muscles or a better job? Why try to understand others, or raise balanced children? The final key to getting it done is the reason you want to do it in the first place.
Why Does My Organisation Need a NTP Time Server? Computers Articles | December 17, 2013 This article attempts to clearly and simply describe what a NTP server is and why it is an essential part of a modern computer network infrastructure.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol designed purely for the transfer of accurate time around a computer network. The protocol allows network time clients to accurately synchronise system time with a precise reference clock. This article describes what a NTP time server is, how it operates Cheap Chicago Bulls Hats , and why modern organisations need synchronised network time.
A NTP time server is a network device that obtains accurate time information from an external timing reference. Accurate time is maintained internally by the device and provided to any network time client that requires it. Any device on a network can synchronise it's internal system time to a NTP time server. In this manner whole networks of computer systems can maintain synchronisation with an accurate timing reference.
NTP is a hierarchical protocol. At the highest level is a stratum1 primary reference NTP time server. A stratum 1 server obtains accurate time from an external hardware clock. A stratum 1 server is the most accurate time reference, since it synchronises directly to a precise external source of time. Time servers lower down the hierarchy synchronise to the stratum above and provide consistently less accuracy. However, using a hierarchical system allows multiple time servers to take workload away from the most accurate references and prevents them from becoming swamped with requests for time.
A number of external timing references, or hardware clocks, are available that provide accurate time. The Global Positioning System Cheap Chicago Bulls Hoodies , GPS, is by far the most popular source of time for external reference clocks. The GPS constellation of satellites each has super-accurate synchronised atomic clocks on board to provide precise timing information. GPS timing information can be received worldwide, provided an antenna can be shown a good view of the sky.
National radio time and frequency broadcasts are also a good source of accurate time. Radio time signals can generally be received by an indoor antenna within the broadcast range of the transmission. A number of broadcasts are available around the world including; JJY (Japan), WWVB (Colorado, USA) Cheap Chicago Bulls Shirts , MSF-60 (Anthorn, UK) and DCF-77 (Frankfurt,Germany).
Many NTP time servers also contain precision backup reference clocks in order to maintain accurate time during signal outages. A backup reference clock provides extended holdover while external reference clock time is unavailable. A number of backup timing solutions are available, the most accurate, and expensive Cheap Chicago Bulls Jerseys , being a Rubidium Oscillator. These highly stable oscillators maintain very accurate holdover for extended periods of time.
