Traditional networks were designed for voice services and are no longer suitable for MBB services.
Re-transmitting MBB services from the Internet to mobile networks for each user wastes a huge amount of bandwidth.
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) architecture positions network functions and third-party applications at the network edge, enabling application, content, and network orchestration. Processing services closer to the user also provides users with better-quality services.
User expectations on service experience have risen in tandem with wireless network speeds. Meeting this higher demand requires a new kind of architecture and service delivery method – one that can deliver more exciting services.
This new architecture is MEC, service solutions for which were demonstrated at MWC 2016. Huawei's MEC@CloudEdge is a 5G-oriented MEC solution.
Mobile networks have evolved with less service processing nodes and delayered architecture. In the 2G era, users had to pass through the base station, base station controller, SGSN, and GGSN, before connecting to the Internet, making already sluggish Internet speeds even slower.
By the time mobile networks entered the LTE era, network architecture was largely delayered and Internet access had been simplified into a two-hop system. To access Internet services, a user could connect straight from the base station to the core network gateway, greatly improving experience.
However, we're now in the 5G era of ultra-low latency, ultra-high bandwidth, and large-scale IoT service requirements from different industries, requirements that current network architecture cannot meet.
Since mobile networks first supported data services, each new generation of mobile technology has aimed to improve network throughput to enhance user experience. As throughput has increased, Internet connection speed is no longer a bottleneck for experience, with latency becoming the key factor affecting user experience.
Research on the application side shows that, for high quality, video services have extremely high latency requirements. For example, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) video services require latency of below 20 ms, with latency any higher for the latter causing VR sickness. A service objective tied in with 5G is E2E latency of 1 ms to support the demands of services such as Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and industrial control.
However, current mobile technology can't minimize latency. With LTE, for example, air interface throughput is increased tenfold, but E2E latency is improved only threefold due to sub-optimal network architecture.
Although LTE networks possess two-hop flat architecture, the base station and the core network are often separated by hundreds of kilometers, with multiple aggregation and forwarding devices deployed in between. Add unpredictable congestion and jitter to the mix, and it's impossible to ensure ultra-low latency on LTE networks.
To support services with very strict latency requirements, it's necessary to move network functions and service processing functions to the edge of the network, closer to the user. This reduces the number of intermediate layers, enabling low-latency service processing.
Current mobile networks were designed for voice services. Network architecture adopts a tree structure, where services are converged at central nodes to be processed. This allows for frequent service concurrency and transmission efficiency.
But, with MBB services, this kind of network architecture can encounter problems. For example,1,000 users watching a 10 MB viral video would produce 10 GB of network traffic because the content is re-transmitted from the Internet to the mobile network 1,000 times. Therefore, 99.9 percent of the network bandwidth used is wasted. So, caching the video in an edge node close to the access point would save the carrier a huge amount of transmission bandwidth.
As air interface throughput is greatly increased and network traffic continues to grow, network-side inefficiency will increase, making content localization essential.
Mobile broadband networks are becoming the basic platforms for office work and marketing, with companies expecting customized networks to meet their specific needs. Some, for example, want data access to the private cloud to be completed within their enterprise campus networks to ensure mobile office security, meaning that network functions must be deployed on the campus network and support local breakout. Another example is the idea of smart billboards proposed by a Korean operator for smart crowd analysis based on network data – the local content changes to increase the advertising conversion rate. This kind of service requires a localized, open network platform.
In Huawei's 5G-oriented MEC solution, MEC@CloudEdge, applications, content, and some MBB core network service processing and resource scheduling functions are deployed at the network edge, closer to the access point. This enables both services to be processed closer to the user and also application, content, and network orchestration. As a result, users are provided with reliable, ultimate service experiences.
Experience and efficiency must be balanced for deployment. Deploying the solution closer to the base station side requires fewer intermediary nodes, which improves experience. But, it also means there will be fewer users accessing the node, reducing utilization.
Deployment location needs to consider scenario-based service requirements. For example, some enterprises want private cloud data access to be completed within their enterprise campus networks, requiring the solution to be deployed within their campus network. For sports stadiums that provide live playback, interaction services, online purchasing, and location services for match-goers, the solution would need to be deployed in the stadium.
Based on service requirements and resource efficiency, these demands mean that MEC@CloudEdge should be deployed between the edge of the metropolitan area network (MAN) and the base station. This might include central offices (CO) and a number of specific venues and campuses.
End of the user plane: runs core network functions such as billing and policy, and meets requirements for billing, monitoring, mobility, and O&M.
Local Breakout (LBO) for services: uses LBO functionality to support localized content and application processing, so the user can directly access local content via MEC without routing to the central core network gateway.
Third-party application registration and management: supports third-party application integration, including registration, discovery, and unified management on tasks like resource scheduling and health checks. This allows network functions to be expanded and third-party services to be customized, as well as service traffic and content awareness and orchestration, so services can be optimized to improve experience.
Network function sharing: provides an open platform for services to be customized for verticals and enables flexible third-party service deployment. With an open platform, internal network capabilities are shared, making seamless integration with third-party services possible.
MEC@CloudEdge is based on Huawei's CloudEdge platform. It can be deployed on the same hardware, with third-party applications based on general servers. The solution can share network functions to support new service innovation for operators, and enable on-demand modular deployment on the control, user, enabling, and management planes.
MEC tech used to be constrained by platform sharing technologies and commercial factors before actual deployment. But now, the maturity and application of NFV technology has prompted the industry to develop standards for MEC and carry out R&D on MEC solutions.
NFV and cloud technology to support multi-tenancy: NFV technology supports multiple tenants on the MEC@CloudEdge. It also enables co-platform deployment and unified resource management on gateway functions and third-party applications. However, as the deployment location is lower using NFV, node capacity is relatively small. This means using NFV alone cannot ensure the reliability and performance provided by large-scale DCs.
Therefore, it's necessary to introduce cloudified software architecture on top of NFV, so software functions can be decoupled and deployed as layers based on the properties of the different capabilities. This enables high reliability, high flexibility, and high performance when resources are limited.
CU separation for flexible deployment of network functions: When MEC@CloudEdge is deployed close to the access point, core network gateway functions are distributed at the edge of the network. This creates a large amount of interface configuration, connection, and commissioning. Thus, the core network's control plane and user plane must be separated to allow the gateways to be flexibly deployed and to simplify the network.
Separating the Gateway CU strips away the complex control logic of the gateway. Gateway functions are retained on the traditional central gateway or integrated into an integrated control plane, lowering deployment costs and resolving problems with circuitous signaling routes and the burden on the interface.
Gateway CU separation first requires making the functions lightweight and stripping away complex control logic functions. Next, the basic core functions that are retained are modeled, and the common forwarding plane models and object-oriented interfaces defined. The forwarding plane is then programmable with excellent scalability. Once the complex service functions are stripped away, lightweight configuration is implemented to support one-click deployment.
Service awareness and smart orchestration: To enhance user experience, MEC@CloudEdge supports real-time service awareness and intelligent experience optimization. When, for example, wireless network quality degrades, MEC@CloudEdge can sense the user's video bit rate and send the traffic to a video optimization module, where the video stream is re-encoded, ensuring smooth video for the user.
As MEC is deployed on mobile networks, a number of exciting new functions for work and leisure will emerge. These include MCDN-based HD video experiences; AR/VR-based mobile games; LBS marketing; and secure, reliable LBO-based enterprise mobile office; smart stadiums based on MCDN and open platforms; and traffic assistance systems for IoV. These new technologies will transform life in ways we cannot yet imagine.

Hunter x Hunter Part 1 Review
Even if you have never read or seen Hunter x Hunter, it is an anime and manga series that has become one of the most famous around, but not necessarily for good reasons. While it remains one of the most popular series released by Weekly Shonen Jump, the manga by unfortunately frail Yoshihiro Togashi has become infamous for numerous hiatuses.
To put this into perspective, since it began in 1998, Hunter x Hunter has released 36 complete tankobon volumes. In comparison, the original Naruto (1999-2014) ran for 72 volumes, twice as many as the former, despite being younger.
The fact that Hunter x Hunter is so popular despite these constant hurdles it has had to go through, may explain why it has received two anime TV adaptations. The first was by Nippon Animation in 1999, but this ended abruptly in 2001, leading to a 30-episode long OVA series to continue the series after the TV version had ended. The version being reviewed here however is the second TV adaptation, created by Madhouse and which ran from 2011 to 2014, with two movies also being released in 2013.
Set in a different version of the world to our own, it begins on Whale Island, the home of Gon Freecss. Gon is a young boy who wishes to follow in his father Ging's footsteps and become a Hunter, a licensed individual who is tasked with hunting all kinds of things. Some hunters search for treasure, others animals, others people. He is only permitted to take the strenuous Hunter Examination after he fulfils his aunt Mito's task of hunting down Whale Island's monster of the swamp, which he does with his trusty fishing rod (imagine Bob Mortimer if he had stuck to fishing all of his life rather than comedy, or indeed Paul Whitehouse).
Travelling via ship to reach the mainland where the exam will be held, he meets two more people hoping to become Hunters. One is Kurapika, who is the sole surviving member of his clan, the Kurta, whose scarlet glowing eyes made them the target of the infamous Phantom Troupe band of thieves. Kurapika is thus becoming a hunter to avenge those who died. The other hopeful is Leorio, who on the surface is only interested in becoming a Hunter for the money, but we come to learn that he desires the money so that he can train to be a doctor, having grown up in poverty and being unable to help those in need when he was younger.
They eventually reach Zaban City, where the Hunter Exam takes place and the trio are just three of over 400 candidates applying to become a Hunter. Here they take a series of tests to prove they are fit to take on the job. These tests include endurance races, a cooking challenge where they have to hunt for their key ingredients, hunting down their fellow exam entrants, and finally having one-on-one battles with each other.
During this exam, Gon, Kurapika and Leorio come to know well some of their fellow aspiring Hunters, for reasons good and bad. On the good side is a boy around the same age as Gon called Killua Zoldyck, who becomes friendly with the group pretty quickly. However, they eventually learn that Killua comes from a family of assassins. Despite this, Killua is not evil and still becomes friends with the group. However, another Hunter, the magician Hisoka, is much more sinister, as is evidenced by the fact that this is the second time he has taken the Hunter Exam, having been disqualified the previous year for killing another entrant.
Perhaps the most appealing element of Hunter x Hunter is the main characters. Arguably, however, they are your typical shonen-like leads. Gon's motivation for finding his father feels somewhat similar to Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece's determination to finding the titular treasure of that pirate manga. There is a segment in the latter half of this collection where Gon, Kurapika and Leorio are training while wearing heavy jackets to make them stronger, which is very similar to scenes in the original Dragon Ball when Goku and his friends are made to wear heavy turtle shells when being trained by Roshi for the same reason. OK, perhaps Gon isn't the most original anime character out there, but if the format works, why change the recipe. He is still a fun, entertaining creation.
It has to be said that in terms of the plot, this anime adaptation shows signs of the infamous hiatuses. Namely, given that this is a long-running series, and that this anime ran for 148 episodes in total, I fail to see why this first collection would need to include two clip shows, Episodes 13 and 26. One clip show I can understand as it is the end of the story arc, but two just feels like they are trying to pad the series out, especially when it so early in the run.
On the more positive side, praise deserves to be given for the quality of Madhouse's animation. The camerawork deployed during the series adds to the mood perfectly at the right moment. Credit deserves to be given to director Hiroshi Kojina. I also enjoyed Megumi Han's performance as Gon, who seems to capture the role of the excitable boy just right. The English voice actor Erica Mendez doesn't work for me, but I admit to not generally being a fan of dubs anyway. The only extras in this release, aside from trailers, are the textless opening and closing. However, I didn't find either the opening, "Departure!" by Masatoshi Ono, or the ending "Just Awake" by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, to be particularly special.
The second collection appears to deal with some elements that become key to the combat scenes we see in typical shonen series like these, but so far Hunter x Hunter has been entertaining.

Death of a Salesman Essay
From the outset death of a salesman portrays the pitfalls of the
American dream. The dream centred on the high chance that anyone can strike it rich in this Land of opportunity. Even in 1950s USA people were still taking a chance on this myth. Death of a Salesman shows the traps of the dream. The failures centred on poor Willy Loman This fine line between making it and become your average Joe becomes heavily apparent when Willy decides he has had enough and kills himself. Willy begins to believe that [In a thick American accent] "No man needs a little salary." Willy perceives himself lower than everybody else partly due to his low wages. One of his great dreams would just be
"forty dollars a week" but his …show more content…
The book marks the passing of time, where no longer men can simply become great being simple salesmen. They can no longer just roll up with a big smile and sell their good. Being known like Willy was just aint cutting it any more. Dave Singleman had pioneered the traditional salesman. One who could sell over the phone in any state? When Willy dies this breed of gentleman passes. Sadly, Willy never realises the coming news. As a result he drifts slowly into obscurity throughout the play.
Willy experiences the problems because of his debts. His perspective of his possessions goes down hill. His Chevy and then later he owns a studebaker which at one point he is full of praise for, when as soon as the car needs work doing he curses it and disowns it. He also dislikes his house. The house where he can no longer grow any grass in the yard or produce some vegetables. He also longs for a rural setting, which is linked, to his strong link to the American dreams of a house in the country. It is also ironic that in his time of need we find out that he now owns his house, the house that he despises and doesn't need.
Willy's spirits die when he finally discovers that no one gives him the respect he deserves. I think this could again be linked to the issue of the American world, judging people on their wealth. Yanks just aren't going to give a poor salesman the respect the give to a highly paid

"Well, I—I did—about a hundred and eighty gross in Providence. Well, no—it came to roughly two hundred gross on the whole trip" (Miller 22) Willy actually only made around 70 dollars, yet he tells his wife he made around 200 dollars. Even in his own imagination when he is talking to himself Willy is still narcissistic; he lies to his wife about the money he made just to inflate his own ego. Willy lying about how much money he made is even more damaging because his family is in debt and could actually use the extra money he claimed he made. Willy is so obsessed with himself that he doesn't even care about his family problems; he just wants to look like the hero.…

Failure In Arthur Miller's Death Of A Salesman
Willy faces his failure when he is having a conversation with Howard after getting fired that he wants to work for the company again, he admits that he is out of money by saying "now, I can't pay my insurance"(61); this shows that he knows he is financially failing down to the part where he can not pay his insurance which is an essential payment to live. In addition, Willy facing his failing statue is shown through the response "I was just fired"(75) when Charley asks him whether he needs help or not right after he refuses Charley's job offer. This speech of Willy's economic failure is significant because he is admitting his failure and asking for help to Charley, who he did not want to share his embarrassing failing situation. Moreover, Willy facing a failure shows when Linda, his wife, tells him to require money in advance because they have a payment for the refrigerator which was bought in the past, he replies with his desire of "[Willy] would like to own something outright before it's broken"(54). This quote shows Willy's wish on basic things which is only possible after when an individual admits he has no ability to afford basic things which is an example of a failure.…

BACK TO SAH
Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright are major figures in American architecture. Sullivan, Wright's architectural mentor, hired the younger man in 1887 as a draftsman to assist with producing construction drawings for the Auditorium Building (1887–1889) in Chicago. As a junior draftsman, Wright also assisted with residential commissions such as the James Charnley House (1891–1892).
The Charnley House, which has long been recognized internationally as a pivotal work of modern architecture, stands as evidence of the extraordinary power of Sullivan and Wright's creativity in collaboration. With the Charnley House, Sullivan rejected the historical details common to Victorian architecture in favor of abstract forms that later became the hallmarks of modern architecture.
It is a sign of Sullivan's admiration for Wright and a testament to their friendship and working relationship that the senior architect allowed his draftsman to become involved in the design process at all. The exterior of Charnley House is a virtually unadorned brick and limestone facade that commands its corner location. The dramatic interior of the house is dominated by an atrium that soars from the first floor hall to a skylight two floors above. The house is symmetrical in plan, with one room located on either side of the central atrium on each floor. The ornament found throughout the interior and exterior of the building reflects both Sullivan's love of sinuous plant forms intertwined with underlying geometric forms and Wright's variations of these themes.
Louis Henry Sullivan (1856–1924)
Louis Henry Sullivan was born in Boston and came to Chicago after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 to join in the rebuilding effort. Six months later, Sullivan left for Paris to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts, which was the leading school of architecture in the world.
In 1879, Sullivan joined the respected engineer Dankmar Adler (1844–1900), who had been practicing in Chicago since 1866. For fourteen years this relationship produced buildings distinguished by both their design and engineering innovations. Sullivan and Adler's work contributed to the development of the uniquely American building type, the skyscraper, and their partnership produced such remarkable structures as the Auditorium Building (1886–1889) in Chicago, the Wainwright Building (1890–1891) in St. Louis, the Chicago Stock Exchange (1893–1894, demolished), and the Guaranty Building (1894-1895) in Buffalo, New York. Their most renowned residential design was the commission for James Charnley on Astor Street in Chicago, which was completed in 1892.
Sullivan is well known for his belief that a building's function should be clearly expressed in its form and structure. Discontented with designing in the historical styles taught at the École des Beaux-Arts, Sullivan set out to create an architectural vocabulary that would reflect contemporary American culture. Adler withdrew from the partnership in 1895 and, like Sullivan, continued to practice independently. Among Sullivan's most renowned projects from this later period are the Schlesinger and Mayer Store (now Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., 1898–1899 and 1902-1903) in Chicago, the Bayard-Condict Building (1897) in New York, and the facade of the Gage Building (1898–1899) in Chicago. After 1900, Sullivan's work consisted mainly of exquisitely designed banks, stores, and churches located in small towns throughout the Midwest. Sullivan's protégés, most notably George Grant Elmslie and Frank Lloyd Wright, carried on his functional theories and philosophy of architectural ornament in their Prairie School designs.
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959)
A native of Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison from 1885 to 1886. Restless with the formal education process, Wright left school in 1887 and moved to Chicago, where he found work as a draftsman for the architectural firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbee. Later that year, Wright joined the Adler & Sullivan firm and worked as a draftsman on the firm's largest project to date, the massive Auditorium Building (1886–1889).
Over the next few years, Wright became the principal draftsman at Adler & Sullivan and indirectly had a hand in the design of projects including the James Charnley House (1891–1892). Although Wright was fired from the firm in 1893 for taking independent commissions, the six years he spent in the Adler & Sullivan office were the most influential years of his training. Sullivan's philosophy that the form of a building should derive from the function of its space would be incorporated into Wright's own work. Also like Sullivan, Wright had a reverence for nature expressed in his preference for organic architecture the materials and shapes of which could be adapted to specific sites and uses. Wright's independent career, which lasted from 1893 until his death in 1959, is one of the longest and most distinguished of any architect in America.
The Charnley-Persky House is located at 1365 North Astor Street in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, within the Astor Street Historic District. The neighborhood developed in the late 1880s, largely through the efforts of Potter Palmer, who built an imposing "castle" on Lake Shore Drive, designed by Cobb & Frost. He purchased large tracts of land in the area and built dozens of houses which were sold to Chicago's wealthy class. The neighborhood has retained its stature as Chicago's premier neighborhood to the present day.

Interview with Seymour Persky
Seymour Persky is the Chicago philanthropist who ensured that the James Charnley House would forever be open and available to the public. He did so by donating the National Historic Landmark to the Society of Architectural Historians in 1995 for its international headquarters. The house, designed by Adler and Sullivan at the time that Frank Lloyd Wright was a draftsman in their office, is internationally recognized as a turning point in modern residential architecture.
In order to get to know the man behind one of the most generous gifts to the Society in its history, in 2004 SAH Executive Director Pauline Saliga conducted an oral history interview with Persky to learn more about his background and his passion for collecting architectural fragments and decorative arts.

The George Mason–VCU rivalry is a college sports rivalry between the VCU Rams of Virginia Commonwealth University and the George Mason Patriots of George Mason University. Both universities are present members of the Atlantic 10 Conference, and for a majority of their rivalry history, members of the Colonial Athletic Association.

The rivalry has no specific name, although there are often referred to as I-95 rivals, referring to the main highway between Richmond and Fairfax.

History
George Mason University's history dates back to 1949, when the University of Virginia opened a branch in Northern Virginia. The extension center offered both for credit and non-credit informal classes in the evenings in the Vocational Building of the Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia.

A resolution of the Virginia General Assembly in January 1956 changed the extension center into University College, the Northern Virginia branch of the University of Virginia. John Norville Gibson Finley served as director. Seventeen freshmen students attended classes at University College in a small renovated elementary school building in Bailey's Crossroads starting in September 1957. In 1958 University College became George Mason College.

The city of Fairfax purchased and donated  of land to the University of Virginia for the college's new site, which is now referred to as the Fairfax Campus. In 1959, the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia selected a permanent name for the college: George Mason College of the University of Virginia. The Fairfax campus construction planning that began in early 1960 showed visible results when the development of the first  of Fairfax Campus began in 1962. In the Fall of 1964 the new campus welcomed 356 students.

During the 1966 Session of the Virginia General Assembly, Alexandria delegate James M. Thomson, with the backing of the University of Virginia, introduced a bill in the General Assembly to make George Mason College a four-year institution under the University of Virginia's direction. The measure, known as H 33, passed the Assembly easily and was approved on March 1, 1966, making George Mason College a degree-granting institution. During that same year, the local jurisdictions of Fairfax County, Arlington County, and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church agreed to appropriate $3 million to purchase land adjacent to Mason to provide for a  Fairfax Campus with the intention that the institution would expand into a regional university of major proportions, including the granting of graduate degrees.

The origins of Virginia Commonwealth University begin in 1838, which was when the Medical department of Hampden-Sydney College was founded. By 1844, the Egyptian Building was erected, serving as the main building for the Hampden-Sydney Medical Department. The name "Egyptian Building" was coined due to its Egyptian revival style of architecture. Today, the Egyptian Building is the oldest building at VCU. While initially serving as a part of Hampden-Sydney, the department received an independent charter from the Virginia General Assembly in 1854 to become its own independent institution of higher learning. Subsequently, the department was rebranded as the Medical College of Virginia. The newly named Medical College (MCV) became a state-funded college in 1860, in return for a $30,000 appropriation. As a public school, the school has its first hospital constructed on campus the following year.

Throughout the American Civil War, the MCV became notable in being one of the few universities in the Confederacy to remain open and have a graduating class each year of the Civil War. The MCV is the only existing school in the Southern United States to have this special distinction. Closing out the 1860s, the school opened its first outpatient clinic. By 1879, the General Assembly grants the MCV the right to grant students degrees in Pharmacy. In the 1890s, several major additions to the MCV were added, such as the Pharmacy University College in 1893, the School of Dentistry in 1895, and the School of Pharmacy in 1898. From 1910 through 1965, the School became the independent Richmond Professional Institute, which merged with the Medical College of Virginia in 1968 to become Virginia Commonwealth University.

During the 1966–67 school year, the Patriots fielded their first athletic teams, while the Rams fielded their first athletic teams under their moniker two years later: in 1968–69. However, it was not until the 1981–82 season that both basketball programs would compete against each other.
