Answer to Question 1

Unlike TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connectionless, unreliable delivery service. Connectionless means that the sender does not have to first establish a link to the receiver before beginning to transmit data. Unreliable does not mean worse or unacceptable. With UDP, unreliable simply means that the sender does not guarantee to the receiver that all of the transmitted data packets will arrive. Also, if a message requires multiple packets, the packets may or may not take the same route to the receiver, and thus may arrive out of sequence. It is up to the receiver to verify that the data expected has in fact been received and to put the packets back in order, if needed.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
