The fourth and final solar eclipse of the year takes place on the 25th November and like the previous three it is a partial eclipse. The best location to view the eclipse is also one of the most inaccessible in the world, Antarctica. For anyone who can make the trip, the place to head for is the western Antarctica Peninsula where observers will experience up to 90% totality.
After Antarctica, the next best option is New Zealand. Here the eclipse starts just after 8pm NZDT with maximum coverage occurring 40 minutes later. From the extreme south part of the South Island, just before sunset, eclipse watches will see about 30% of the sun obscured. Unfortunately, by then the Sun will be very low in the sky. From Christchurch it will be just about setting. The eclipse can also be seen from the North Island, but is not as well placed as from the South Island. In the south part of the North Island the Sun sets soon after the eclipse starts and before maximum is reached. Further north still and the eclipse is not even visible at all.
The eclipse is also visible from Tasmania just before sunset, the far south of South Africa soon after sunrise and will be in progress during sunrise from the South Atlantic island of Georgia. From all of these regions less than 10% of the Sun is obscured.


Auto insurance is vital for all drivers. However, it can be very difficult to look through all of the insurance plans to find one that is right for you. The following article will give you a number of helpful tips which you can use to figure out the best insurance policy for you.
You need to understand the different coverage types offered when you are searching for an auto insurance policy. There are a variety of considerations involved in calculating the final cost of vehicle insurance. For example, bodily injury coverage is important, as it covers any injury that is your fault in case of an accident.
Before you purchase a vehicle, look into how much it will cost to insure the car. Insurance agents will be able to advise you on what type of car has low insurance rates. Knowing which cars are the least expensive to insure can help you make a wise decision when deciding what to buy. If you purchase a car with a high safety rating, insurance will be quite a bit cheaper.
Pay attention to the insured driver on your policy. If you let a friend use your car and they get into an accident, chances are your insurance will not pay. You would have to pay more to cover other drivers using your car.
Choose a higher deductible, and you will pay less for your insurance. This strategy carries some risks, but as long as you're willing to set aside money each month to cover the cost of your deductible in case of an accident, it can be an excellent way to cut costs. Premiums and deductibles have an inverse relationship in that, in general, the higher your deductible amount is, the more you can save in premium costs.
Insurance is the ultimate protection against any type of accident or disaster happening to your car. After paying the predetermined deductible, anything above that amount is generally covered by the policy.
Consider removing some coverage items from your auto insurance. If you have a car that is not of high monetary value, you may just want to cover your car with liability insurance. You can save a considerable amount of money by removing collision coverage. Look into other types of coverage that you can remove from your policy.

This sample chapter reviews distance-vector routing protocols, covers both versions of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and discusses the Cisco Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) — important knowledge for the CCDA.
Cisco Systems released EIGRP in the early 1990s as an evolution of IGRP toward a more scalable routing protocol for large internetworks. EIGRP is a classless protocol that permits the use of VLSMs and that supports CIDR for the scalable allocation of IP addresses. EIGRP does not send routing updates periodically, as does IGRP. EIGRP allows for authentication with simple passwords or with MD5. EIGRP autosummarizes networks at network borders and can load-balance over unequal–cost paths. Packets using EIGRP use IP protocol 88. Only Cisco routers can use EIGRP.
EIGRP is an advanced distance-vector protocol that implements some characteristics similar to those of link-state protocols. Some Cisco documentation refers to EIGRP as a hybrid protocol. EIGRP advertises its routing table to its neighbors as distance-vector protocols do, but it uses hellos and forms neighbor relationships as link-state protocols do. EIGRP sends partial updates when a metric or the topology changes on the network. It does not send full routing-table updates in periodic fashion as do distance-vector protocols. EIGRP uses DUAL to determine loop-free paths to destinations. This section discusses DUAL.
By default, EIGRP load-balances traffic if there are several paths with equal cost to the destination. EIGRP performs unequal-cost load balancing if you configure it with the variance <n> command. EIGRP includes routes that are equal to or less that n times the minimum metric route to a destination. As in RIP and IGRP, EIGRP also summarizes IP networks at network boundaries.
EIGRP internal routes have an administrative distance of 90. EIGRP summary routes have an administrative distance of 5, and EIGRP external routes (from redistribution) have an administrative distance of 170.
Know the role of the EIGRP components, which are described in the following sections.
EIGRP uses different modules that independently support IP, Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), and AppleTalk routed protocols. These modules are the logical interface between DUAL and routing protocols such as IPX RIP, AppleTalk Routing Table Maintenance Protocol (RTMP), and IGRP. The EIGRP module sends and receives packets but passes received information to DUAL, which makes routing decisions.
EIGRP automatically redistributes with IGRP if you configure both protocols with the same autonomous system number. When configured to support IPX, EIGRP communicates with the IPX RIP and forwards the route information to DUAL to select the best paths. AppleTalk EIGRP automatically redistributes routes with AppleTalk RTMP to support AppleTalk networks. AppleTalk is not a CCDA objective and is not covered in this book.
EIGRP discovers and maintains information about its neighbors. It multicasts hello packets (224.0.0.10) every 5 seconds for most networks. The router builds a table with EIGRP neighbor information. The holdtime to maintain a neighbor is three times the hello time: 15 seconds. If the router does not receive a hello in 15 seconds, it removes the neighbor from the table. EIGRP multicasts hellos every 60 seconds on multipoint WAN interfaces (X.25, Frame Relay, ATM) with speeds less than 1544 Mbps, inclusive. The neighbor holdtime is 180 seconds on these types of interfaces. To summarize, hello/holdtime timers are 5/15 seconds for high-speed links and 60/180 seconds for low-speed links.
Example 12-4 shows an EIGRP neighbor database. The table lists the neighbor's IP address, the interface to reach it, the neighbor holdtime timer, and the uptime.
EIGRP uses RTP to manage EIGRP packets. RTP ensures the reliable delivery of route updates and also uses sequence numbers to ensure ordered delivery. It sends update packets using multicast address 224.0.0.10. It acknowledges updates using unicast hello packets with no data.
EIGRP implements DUAL to select paths and guarantee freedom from routing loops. J.J. Garcia Luna-Aceves developed DUAL, which is mathematically proven to result in a loop-free topology, providing no need for periodic updates or route-holddown mechanisms that make convergence slower.
DUAL selects a best path and a second best path to reach a destination. The best path selected by DUAL is the successor, and the second best path (if available) is the feasible successor. The feasible distance is the lowest calculated metric of a path to reach the destination. The topology table in Example 12-5 shows the feasible distance. The example also shows two paths (Ethernet 0 and Ethernet 1) to reach 172.16.4.0/30. Because the paths have different metrics, DUAL chooses only one successor.
The route entries in Example 12-5 are marked P as in the "passive" state. A destination is in passive state when the router is not performing any recomputations for the entry. If the successor goes down and the route entry has feasible successors, the router does not need to perform any recomputations and does not go into active state.
DUAL places the route entry for a destination into active state if the successor goes down and there are no feasible successors. EIGRP routers send query packets to neighboring routers to find a feasible successor to the destination. A neighboring router can send a reply packet that indicates it has a feasible successor or a query packet. The query packet indicates that the neighboring router does not have a feasible successor and will participate in the recomputation. A route does not return to passive state until it has received a reply packet from each neighboring router. If the router does not receive all the replies before the "active-time" timer expires, DUAL declares the route as stuck-in-active (SIA). The default active timer is 3 minutes.
EIGRP sets updates only when necessary and sends them only to neighboring routers. There is no periodic update timer.
EIGRP uses hello packets to learn of neighboring routers. On high-speed networks, the default hello packet interval is 5 seconds. On multipoint networks with link speeds of T1 and slower, hello packets are unicast every 60 seconds.
The holdtime to maintain a neighbor adjacency is three times the hello time: 15 seconds. If a router does not receive a hello within the holdtime, it removes the neighbor from the table. Hellos are multicast every 60 seconds on multipoint WAN interfaces (X.25, Frame Relay, ATM) with speeds less than 1544 Mbps, inclusive. The neighbor holdtime is 180 seconds on these types of interfaces. To summarize, hello/holdtime timers are 5/15 seconds for high-speed links and 60/180 seconds for multipoint WAN links less than 1544 Mbps, inclusive.
EIGRP does not send updates using a broadcast address; instead, it sends them to the multicast address 224.0.0.10 (all EIGRP routers).
EIGRP uses the same composite metric as IGRP, but the BW term is multiplied by 256 for finer granularity. The composite metric is based on bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability. MTU is not an attribute for calculating the composite metric.
In this formula, BW is the lowest interface bandwidth in the path, and delay is the sum of all outbound interface delays in the path. The router dynamically measures reliability and load. It expresses a 100 percent reliability as 255/255. It expresses load as a fraction of 255. An interface with no load is represented as 1/255.
Reliability is a value between 1 and 255. Cisco IOS routers display reliability as a fraction of 255. That is, 255/255 is 100 percent reliability or a perfectly stable link; a value of 229/255 represents a 90 percent reliable link.
Load is a value between 1 and 255. A load of 255/255 indicates a completely saturated link. A load of 127/255 represents a 50 percent saturated link.
BWmin is in kbps, and the sum_of_delays is in 10s of microseconds. The bandwidth and delay for an Ethernet interface are 10 Mbps and 1 ms, respectively.
Table 12-3 shows some default values for bandwidth and delay.
Hello—EIGRP uses hello packets in the discovery of neighbors. They are multicast to 224.0.0.10. By default, EIGRP sends hello packets every 5 seconds (60 seconds on WAN links with 1544 Mbps speeds or less).
Acknowledgment—An acknowledgment packet acknowledges the reception of an update packet. It is a hello packet with no data. EIGRP sends acknowledgment packets to the unicast address of the sender of the update packet.
Update—Update packets contain routing information for destinations. EIGRP unicasts update packets to newly discovered neighbors; otherwise, it multicasts update packets to 224.0.0.10 when a link or metric changes. Update packets are acknowledged to ensure reliable transmission.
Query—EIGRP sends query packets to find feasible successors to a destination. Query packets are always multicast.
Reply—EIGRP sends reply packets to respond to query packets. Reply packets provide a feasible successor to the sender of the query. Reply packets are unicast to the sender of the query packet.
When designing a network with EIGRP, remember that it supports VLSMs, CIDR, and network summarization. EIGRP allows for the summarization of routes in a hierarchical network. EIGRP is not limited to 16 hops as RIP is; therefore, the network diameter can exceed this limit. EIGRP does not broadcasts its routing table periodically so there is no large network overhead. You can use EIGRP for large networks; it is a potential routing protocol for the core of a large network. EIGRP further provides for route authentication.
As shown in Figure 12-6, when you use EIGRP, all segments can have different subnet masks.
Hybrid routing protocol (distance vector that has link-state protocol characteristics).
Default composite metric uses bandwidth and delay.
You can factor load and reliability into the metric.
Sends partial route updates only when there are changes.
Uses DUAL for loop prevention.
By default, equal-cost load balancing. Unequal-cost load balancing with the variance command.
Administrative distance is 90 for EIGRP internal routes, 170 for EIGRP external routes, and 5 for EIGRP summary routes.
Potential routing protocol for the core of a network; used in large networks.


Serving as a powerful stage more than 25,000 attendees and more than 760 exhibitors, Cosmoprof North America connected everyone, helped them experience new products, and aided them to conduct significant business meetings.
As one of about 100 online media representatives attending the show, I took it all in. And I was blown away by all the new products from new-to-me brands and the fresh offerings from companies I have come to rely on.
The very first booth I stopped at when I entered the Cosmoprof show floor was Jessica. Jessica is not a new brand, nor new to me, but they have some really pretty new stuff coming out soon!
Rebel Glam is a collection of six colors "designed with a rebellious heart and sophisticated mind," according to a Jessica press release. Each polish retails for $7.50 each, and will be available for purchase on Jessica's website and through spas carrying the brand. These colors look intense and I would bet they are well-pigmented!
Also coming this month and selling through December, keep a look-out for Jessica's "Buckets of Hope," which are plastic buckets of mini Nourish Therapeutic Cuticle Cremes for sale in salons, spas and distributors. Keep an eye out next time you go for a mani or pedi! Jessica donates 100% of the proceeds from the sale to Bright Pink, a national nonprofit that provides education and support to young women who are at high-risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
Hologram Chic will be available in spas, and again, through Jessica's website.
I love the looks of that red, and the white on the right! This should be available in late fall, as well.
So what do you think? See anything you like coming from Jessica? Share in the comments below!

Part of the now-defunct U.S. Department of Agriculture Feed Grain Program that took former row crop fields out of production (set-aside), typically for one year, but sometimes for more than one year. Planted or volunteer vegetation provided soil erosion protection.
Plant-derived materials (such as harvested woody or herbaceous crops) that supply useful energy either by direct combustion or by conversion into liquid or gaseous fuels.
An example of brood parasitism: female brown-headed cowbirds laying eggs in the nest of a host species. The host species may then raise the cowbird chick(s) at the expense of their own young.
A U.S. Department of Agriculture program that takes highly erodible or environmentally sensitive cropland out of production for 10 to 15 years. Farmers receive an annual rental payment in return. Most enrolled land is planted to perennial grasses and grass/legume mixtures. Some land is planted to trees.
A set of practices in which varying degrees of crop residue remain on the soil surface before and after planting agricultural crops.
Any grass species that reaches its peak growth and photosynthetic activity in the relatively cool weather of spring and fall. These grasses usually flower before July 15. The plant goes dormant or growth slows in the heat and dryness of summer. These grasses include both native and non-native species; the majority, however, are non-native.
A habitat that attracts nesting birds in the spring but supports only low or no nest productivity, adult survival, or juvenile survival.
The apparent phenomenon of low nest success near certain kinds of habitat edges due to high rates of nest predation and brood parasitism.
Refers to species that formerly occurred in Wisconsin but no longer include the state within their range.
Non-grassy herbaceous plants, typically broad-leaved species.
A group of bird species that tend to occur in similar types of habitats. Wisconsin bird habitat guilds include grassland, forest, wetland, urban/farmstead, and edge/generalist guilds.
Low-growing (<1 m tall) woody plants, usually referring to ericaceous shrubs but here meaning any low woody plants.
One of the tools managers use to assess habitat structure in the field. It is a measurement that represents the height below which vegetation is too dense to permit sight of a graduated pole from a distance of 4 m. This is sometimes also called a visual obstruction measurement (Robel et al. 1970).
Any habitat that is not cut, burned, cropped, heavily grazed, cultivated, or otherwise disturbed during the bird breeding season.
Structural features in a grassland or agricultural landscape that form linear, sharply defined boundaries or breaks between woody and herbaceous habitat types and that can provide habitat or travel corridors for nest parasites or predators. Examples include brushy ditches and fencelines, hedge rows and tree rows, and woodlot edges.
A horizontal layer of dead herbaceous vegetation on or just above the soil surface.
Pertaining to an environment with a moderate amount of moisture; as opposed to wet (hydric) or dry (xeric) environments.
Plantings dominated by one species; monocultures.
Dominance of herbaceous vegetation in landscapes characterized by the absence of major woody vegetation and the absence or low density of farmsteads and other major above-ground structures.
Places where organisms can avoid life-threatening disturbances.
Used in reference to grassland bird habitat. Refers to habitats that are high quality (e.g., habitats that typically attract good densities of at least some grassland bird species and have relatively high nesting productivity) or that at minimum do not have significant negative impacts on grassland birds (e.g., habitats such as small grains that do not support high diversity or density of nesting birds but that may increase the effective size of an open grassland landscape, buffer other high quality habitats from woody edges, etc.).
Upland fields and wetlands purchased and managed by the USFWS to provide grassland nesting habitat for waterfowl.


Members of Deep Green Resistance join Lakota allies from Pine Ridge in an action against Whiteclay, a tiny Nebraska town with a population of 14 and a total of 4 liquor stores. For years, the rural and isolated town's economy has been based on the exploitation of the Lakota people.
Whiteclay, NE – Activists from across the country participated in an act of civil disobedience in the town of Whiteclay, Nebraska. Deep Green Resistance, Un-occupy Albuquerque, Occupy Lincoln and Lakota organizers attached U-Locks to their necks and strung a chain between pairs of activists, blockading the road running through the town to bring attention to the town's infamous liquor industry. After blocking the main road running through the town for 3 and a half hours, police agreed to work with Lakota women to investigate the plethora of crimes and abuses committed by the owners of the four alcohol peddlers in Whiteclay.
We went to a tribal member who spent years patronizing Whiteclay's beer stores, but has now sobered up and turned his life around. He asked to remain anonymous, for fear of retribution.
Will the tribe's lawsuit against the beer makers, distributors and sellers help?
A lawsuit the Oglala Sioux Tribe filed against several Nebraska liquor stores has legal precedent in old English complaints from landowners against rowdy tavern neighbors, according to the tribe's attorney.

ORIGINAL EMAIL _ NOVEMBER 2017
Demon acknowledge that there is an error with the masters used for the pressing of "Night Thoughts" within the Suede Vinyl Box set released on the 9th November. A new master has been provided by Suede for "Night Thoughts", and both LPs for this album will be repressed and will be available to everyone who purchased the box set. We are waiting on manufacturing timelines to confirm the date a replacement will be available. Once we have these we will communicate how to obtain your replacement via the Suede and Demon social channels, and SuperDeluxeEdition.
We are also aware that there have been varying degrees to some or all of the inner sleeves. Again, this is something we are looking into with our manufactureres and we will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
Demon are genuinely sorry, and are addressing the issue as a matter of priority. We will update this post as soon as we have more details. Thank you for your patience.

Then, yesterday, Alessandro Michele, Gucci's creative director, issued a letter to the fashion house's employees. According to Hypebeast, Michele said in the letter he takes "full accountability" for the sweater, and that its aim was to pay tribute to Leigh Bowery and his camouflage art.
"I really shelter the suffer of all I have offended," the letter continued. "And I am heartfully sorry for this hurt. I hope I can rely on the understanding of those who know me and can acknowledge the constant tension towards the celebration of diversity that has always shaped my work. This is the only celebration I'm willing to stand for."
Katy Perry learned a similar lesson this week when her latest shoe launch was criticized for two designs that resembled blackface.
The shoes were pulled from the shelves and Perry released a statement to Entertainment Tonight that described the shoes' inspiration as a "nod to modern art and surrealism."
There is, of course, something to learn from Gucci's and Perry's design missteps. Yes, the logo and the accompanying branding/marketing is extremely important for promotional apparel lines, but the apparel, itself, should also be a consideration. Text is not the only thing that can be offensive or insensitive, so always vet apparel designs before they reach the public.
