Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The promise of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) was that it could be a universal, integrated carrier of voice, data, video, and any other resource-intensive type of data. These are real advantages. However, two significant disadvantages of ATM are its high cost and high level of complexity. These two disadvantages have limited the widespread acceptance of ATM as a WAN connectivity solution. Because ATM cells are fixed, it is much easier to measure and regulate their bandwidth usage over a connection. The fixed cell length also makes ATM easier to manage and predict than variable-length delivery systems such as Frame Relay. Another feature that makes ATM so appealing is that a quality-of-service feature has been built into the protocol, making it easy to implement prioritization of data transmission. Communications considered critical can be flagged and have priority access to circuit capacity. As a protocol, ATM has been more successful as a backbone technology, primarily due to its cost and complexity. With desktop LAN speeds of 25.6 Mbps, ATM is at a disadvantage compared with Fast Ethernet, with its speeds of up to 100 Mbps. ATM switches, as well as NICs, are typically more expensive than those found in a comparable Ethernet network, another disadvantage. ATM, by definition, is a connection-oriented protocol that does not have broadcasting capabilities. Consequently, without complicated software interfaces, protocols such as Ethernet cannot directly detect an ATM network. The fact that setting up and maintaining an ATM network is so complicated also means that finding qualified staff can be challenging, and when found, likely expensive.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

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. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

It is important to read food labels and choose foods with low cholesterol and saturated trans fat. You should limit saturated fat to no higher than 6% of daily calories.

Addicts to opiates often avoid treatment because they are afraid of withdrawal. Though unpleasant, with proper management, withdrawal is rarely fatal and passes relatively quickly.
