Abstract Ever tried placing a voice call over the Internet ? If you have, we are sure you haven’t had a pleasant experience. You might have even promised yourself never to try it again. But , Stop right there!! Now get ready to change your mind. In the near future, if you make a telephone call, it is more than likely that it would be over the Internet or some other packet network. But, what is it that would make this possible? It is a bunch of protocols and standards; and years of research done by organizations all over the world that would bring about this revolution. They call it ‘VOICE OVER IP’, ‘INTERNET TELEPHONY’ & a host of other names. VoIP (voice over IP - that is, voice delivered using the Internet Protocol) is a term used in IP telephony for a set of facilities for managing the delivery of voice information using the Internet Protocol (IP). In general, this means sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). A major advantage of VoIP and Internet telephony is that it avoids the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service. VoIP is therefore telephony using a packet based network instead of the PSTN (circuit switched). With the passes of time VoIP replace the PSTN and people will acquaint with the new technology which will reduce their cost and they will no more inclined to the PSTN to make a call anywhere. Somehow it will take time to replace the communication system invented by Bell.
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2018, “SOUTH CAROLINA TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION DAY” AND TO HONOR THE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT TEEN PREGNANCY, ITS PARTNERS WITHIN LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS, PARENTS, EDUCATORS, AND TRUSTED ADULTS. Whereas, teen pregnancies have farreaching consequences that adversely affect the health, education, and economic future of South Carolina’s young people; and Whereas, in 2016, 3,696 teen girls, ages fifteen to nineteen gave birth in our State; and Whereas, teen birth rates in South Carolina decreased by sixtyseven percent between 1991 and 2016; and Whereas, teen birth rates in South Carolina decreased by nine percent between 2015 and 2016, the lowest teen birth rate for girls ages fifteen to nineteen ever recorded in South Carolina; and Whereas, however, the progress in teen birth rate reductions that saved South Carolina taxpayers an estimated eightyfive million dollars in 2015 alone should not suggest decreases in investment and commitment to this issue; and Whereas, “South Carolina Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day” is an opportunity for parents, teen educators, program providers, faithbased organizations, local elected leaders, and statewide policymakers to work together to reduce and prevent teen pregnancy in the Palmetto State. Now therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring: That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, declare Wednesday, May 2, 2018, “South Carolina Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day” and honor the valuable contributions of the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, its partners within local communities and organizations, parents, educators, and trusted adults. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. XX
Support to Civil Code and Property Rights (CCPR) Contract Number: 2014/344-574 “Legal Assessment of Existing Legislation on Property Rights in the Light of European Legal Standards and Best Practice” ___________________________________________________________________________ Component C, Activity C.3: “Undertake a legal assessment (of property law) in the light of European legal standards and best practice to identify inconsistencies and gaps” (ToR, Activity 1.3) Pristina, 31 July 2015 Implemented by:
principles (1. lawfulness, 2. legitimate aim in the public interest, 3. fair balance 4.legitimate expectation). EU Law considers property law mainly as an internal matter of EU Member States (Article 345 TFEU), although a fragmentary European Union Property law is emerging based on the four fundamental freedoms provided by the EC Treaty. Article 49 TFEU is of great relevance in relation to the right of foreigners to acquire immovable property. The ultimate political goal of the Republic of Kosovo is EU membership. This is expressly stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo. Any property and real rights reform needs to be positioned within the framework of a number of international legal instruments including the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). The Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo refers to the application of the standards established by the ECHR and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). According to Art 22 and 53 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, the provisions of the ECHR are expressly applicable. When juxtaposing ECHR, ECtHR case-law, EU Law and best legal practices to the domestic regime on property rights, concerns may be expressed above all in relation to a proper definition of the different types of property, lack of an adequate legal framework regarding the definition of which objects are publicly owned, rights of minors and women in relation to access of property by inheritance, just compensation arising from expropriation, socially owned properties in a way to balance rights of owners and tenants, re-establishment of the superficies solo cedit principle, access of foreigners to property, restitution process, lack of harmonisation between the law on property and the one on obligations, acquisition, transfer and protection of ownership, constitutive and declarative character of registration and which rights need to be registered, proper regulation of flat ownership, of construction rights, securities and mortgages. The legislative systems of Austria, Croatia, Germany, Macedonia, Slovenia and Switzerland have been advisedly chosen to serve as a model in order to identify gaps and inconsistencies with European best practices in the existing legislation in Kosovo. A number of these countries were selected by reference to the legal tradition of Kosovo. Some of them have faced similar experiences during the transition period
c. to take prisoners from conquered lands. d. to help clear land for construction projects. Question26 In what way were the Maya different from the Aztec and Inca civilizations? (5 points) Select one: a. The Aztec and Inca had large, united empires, but the Maya did not. b. The Aztec and Inca had vast trade networks, but the Maya did not. c. The Aztec and Inca relied mainly on agriculture, but the Maya did not. d. The Aztec and Inca were deeply religious, but the Maya were not. Question27 Which of the following represents a difference between the Mayans and the Incas? (5 points) Select one: a. The Mayans worshipped one god, but the Incas worshipped many. b. The Mayans prayed mainly to the sun god, but the Incas prayed to hundreds of gods. c. The Mayans relied on calendars to plan activities, but the Incas relied on divination. d. The Mayans performed human sacrifices, but the Incas did not. Question28 The following two quotes are accounts of indigenous leaders in the Americas. The first is about the Aztec emperor. The second is about the Incan ruler. Use these excerpts to answer the question that follows: There were many…grandees around the monarch, some of whom held the canopy over his head, while others again occupied the road before him, and spread cotton cloths on the ground that his feet might not touch the bare earth. No one of his suite ever looked at him full in the face; everyone in his presence stood with eyes downcast. The court was filled with Indian nobles, dressed in gaily ornamented attire, in attendance on the monarch…. His dress was simpler than that of his attendants. But he wore on his head the crimson borla or fringe, which, surrounding the forehead, hung down as low as the eyebrow. This was the well-known badge of Peruvian sovereignty [royalty]. Based on the two passages, how did the Inca emperor and the Aztec emperor compare? (5 points) Select one: a. The Aztec emperor was more powerful. b. The Inca emperor was more ordinary. c. The Aztec emperor was more respected. d. The Inca emperor was more generous. Question29

him. 4-5 9/14-9/25 My First Free Summer Citizenship/Fairness The narrator attends an International School in the Dominican Republic where she learns the English language and about life in America. She struggles academically, which leads her to never be "free" from summer school. Her parents try to show her the importance of learning about America, due to the horrors of the Trujillo dictatorship going on around them. Eventually the family is granted entrance to America, where Julia begins to recognize the importance of learning about things like American history. She no longer thinks school is unfair. 6-7 9/28-10/9 Mi Madre Respect The author respects the desert as a mother, because it always fills her needs. 6-7 9/28-10/9 Canyon de Chelly Respect In "Canyon de Chelly" the speaker is sharing with his son that nature and the desert are forever.

While the narrator was expecting a pretty music box with a ballerina, instead this ugly wood box unleashes feelings of joy and excitement, which is why Gil refuses to sell it. This narrator has a newfound respect for things that aren't necessarily beautiful on the surface. 8-10 10/12-10/30 Paul Revere's Ride Cooperation/Citizenship In Paul Revere's ride, he works in cooperation with the colonists to prepare for the arrival of the British.

A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CONGRATULATE MRS. LUCILLE GARRETT OF PICKENS COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF HER ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD. Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Mrs. Lucille Garrett of Pickens County will celebrate her one hundredth birthday on July 11, 2016; and Whereas, born on July 11, 1916, when the twentieth century was still in its youth, she was a witness to nearly all the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the second decade of the twentyfirst century; and Whereas, in the fullness of time, the young Lucille met Milford “Bluff” Garrett, and the two were wed in August 1935, God blessing their union with six children, sixteen grandchildren, and seventeen greatgrandchildren, most of whom reside in the Upstate; and Whereas, the wedding story of Lucille and her Bluff has become legend among family members and friends. The two were secretly married at Walhalla Courthouse, with two witnesses present at the ceremony. After the couple had tied the knot, on that same day Bluff put his bride on the train to Washington, D.C., to work and earn some money, and everyone kept quiet about the nuptials for a couple of months. Then one of the witnesses let the news “slip,” so Bluff had to call Lucille to come home because the “secret” was out; and Whereas, after this undercover beginning, the new Mrs. Garrett enjoyed wedded bliss with her beloved Bluff for nearly sixty years.

The College of Charleston projects a $72,632 reduction in revenue from four out-of-state students receiving in-state tuition under this bill. Winthrop University reported an estimated loss of $50,000 to $75,000 based on historical enrollment of students who would qualify for in-state tuition. The University of South Carolina system could not determine the number of students who would receive in-state tuition under the bill, but for each out-of-state student reclassified as an student, the institution would lose $19,428 per year in revenue. The Citadel expects a revenue reduction of $752,340 based on 40 currently enrolled students who would become eligible for in-state tuition. South Carolina State University reported this bill would decrease other fund revenue by $262,500 based on current veteran enrollment. Lander University, Francis Marion University, and the South Carolina Technical Systems all indicated any revenue reduction from this bill is expected to be minimal due to the limited number of students who would become eligible for in-state tuition under this bill.

The unexcused failure or refusal to attend and give testimony or produce books, papers, and records as may have been required in any by subpoena issued by the district board must be considered contempt of court by the ALC, punishable by a fine, imprisonment, or both, by the court. The district board may issue to the sheriff of the county in which any a hearing is held a warrant requiring him to produce at the hearing any witness who shall have has ignored or failed to comply with any a subpoena issued by the district board and duly served upon such the witness. Such a This warrant shall must authorize the sheriff to arrest the witness and produce at the hearing such witness, and it shall be his is the duty of the sheriff to do so; but. The failure of a witness so to appear in response to any such a subpoena may be excused on the same grounds as provided by law in the courts of this State as to regarding the attendance of witnesses and jurors.” SECTION 8.

writing of his acceptance of the contract. Failure on the part of the teacher to notify the board of acceptance within the specified time limit shall be is conclusive evidence of the teacher’s rejection of the contract. (B) Any A teacher, receiving a notice that he will not be reemployed for the ensuing year, shall have has the same notice and opportunity for a hearing provided in subsequent sections for teachers this article for a teacher dismissed for cause during the school year.” SECTION 3. Section 5925460 of the 1976 Code is amended to read: “Section 5925460. (A) No A teacher shall may not be dismissed unless written notice specifying the cause of dismissal is first is given the teacher by the District Board of Trustees superintendent and the teacher is given an opportunity for a an evidentiary hearing has been afforded the teacher. Such This written notice shall must include the fact that a hearing before the board or its designee is available to the teacher upon request provided, such if the request is made in writing within fifteen days as prescribed by provided in Section 5925470. Any such hearing shall must be public unless the teacher requests in writing that it be private. A board that chooses to delegate the evidentiary hearing to a designee shall indicate in board policy that it engages in this practice. The hearing process becomes effective when the board adopts the policy, and must be communicated to all affected employees within fifteen days. A subsequent change only may be made pursuant to the board policy revision process. (B)(1) If the board chooses to delegate the evidentiary hearing to a designee, the designee must be: (a) an attorney licensed to practice law in this State; (b) certified by the South Carolina Supreme Court as a mediator or arbitrator; and (c) designated by the board chair. (2) If the designee holds the evidentiary hearing, he shall issue a written report and recommendation containing findings of facts and conclusions of law to the board within fifteen days after the hearing concludes. The superintendent and the teacher may submit a written response to this report and recommendation to the board within ten days after the date on which the report and recommendation are issued, after which the board shall issue a decision affirming or withdrawing the notice of suspension or

Figure 3.2: Scenario A has 10,000 processor-bound Figure 3.3: Scenario B has 100 I/O bound server server operations where computation is inter- operations where computation is interleaved leaved with file write operations with network I/O interactions We compare the performance of action-based and thread-based systems through implementation. In this paper, we consider two kinds of server operations, one processor-bound and the other, I/O-bound, both of which appear in the context of the Rover controller. Using these server operations, we construct two corresponding scenarios: Scenario A: This is a computation-intensive scenario and has 10,000 processor-bound server operations, where each of the server operations has three compute blocks, interleaved with two file write operations (see Figure 3.2). In each of these server operations, the second and the third I/O compute block do not need to await for the prior file I/O write operation to complete. Scenario B: This is an I/O-intensive scenario and has 100 I/O-bound server operations, where each of the server operations has three compute blocks, interleaved with two network I/O operations (see Figure 3.3). In each of these server operations, the second and third compute blocks can be initiated only after the completion of the prior network I/O operation. The network I/O interaction was implemented using UDP. Since our focus is on the comparison of the action-based versus the systems, we avoided issues of packet loss and re-transmissions by only considering those experiments where no UDP packets were lost in the network. We consider two execution platforms, referred to as M1 and M2 in the paper. M1 comprises of a Intel Pentium III (600 MHz) processor and 96 MB of RAM which runs Linux. M2 comprises of a Sun Ultra 5, with a Sparc (333 MHz) processor and 128 MB RAM and runs Solaris. For the thread-based implementation, we used the Linux Threads library for the M1 platform and the Pthreads library for the M2 platform, both of which are implementations of the Posix 1003.1c threads package. This total execution time for the three compute blocks in each server operation

How have we performed against our 2015-2016 Priorities? Priority Progress Forward plan/sustainability There has been an increase in the number of men and women accessing Day Hospice services with the diagnosis of Brain Tumour, working alongside the Brain Tumour Charities a support group to be implemented The charities have supported this project and it now runs bi-monthly with leadership from the charities and Day Hospice staff. It is well evaluated and has resulted in patients being able to access financial support, emotional support and physical support from specialist staff Plans are to continue he group going forward and strong links have been formed with the Brain Tumour Charity and Hospice staff. Unintended benefits include increased knowledge of Hospice staff, patients meeting and communicating outside of Hospice through social events and social media. Hospice at Home staff will utilise documentation and measures to monitor symptoms of pain, breathlessness and nausea and vomiting. They will also include measurable outcomes relating to preferred place of death and numbers of visits Documentation does now include opportunity to assess pain and effect of pain relief methods both pharmacological and The service now has data relating to Preferred place of death (93% achieved preferred Place of death in 16-17) and to numbers of visits to patients in their own homes. Continuing improvement work on documentation continues, focussing on the assessment and care planning elements IT systems are to be utilised to help collate visits data and outcome measures To deliver a rolling programme of 2 student counsellors per academic year and encourage suitable students to remain as volunteers once qualified We have supported 2 student counsellors from Warwick University in 16/17. Due to personal reasons both students did not remain as volunteers after they qualified. We have been fortunate to have received several applications from trained counsellors who want to volunteer at the Hospice. We will continue to offer students the opportunity to undertake a placement with the Hospice. The Hospice identified three priorities for improvement during 2015-2016. The following progress has been made
