It is possible with ROMMON to download the image and then extract and run it in RAM, without touching your flash memory. Booting IOS image from network through ROMMON ![]() Your router will now run the IOS image from the TFTP server. Program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0x40c8438 Once the transfer is completed, it extracts and loads the image: %SYS-6-BOOT_MESSAGES: Messages above this line are from the boot loader. It downloads the IOS image that we specified from the TFTP server. Once it is loaded, instead of showing you the command prompt you will see this: Loading from 192.168.1.2 (via FastEthernet0/0): The router does its POST, initializes ROMMON and then loads the IOS image on the flash memory as usual. Program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0x40c7678 Program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80 Once you do, you will see this: Readonly ROMMON initialized Now we can save our configuration and reload the router. Let’s enable an interface with an IP address that is in the same subnet as our TFTP server: Router(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/0 We also have to make sure the router is able to reach our TFTP server. This tells the router to look for an IOS image on the network, not on the local flash drive. We have to change it to tell the router to look for the IOS image on the network: Router(config)# config-register 0x210F The default configuration register will only look for the IOS image on the flash memory. The command above however is only half of the story. This tells the router to look for the specified filename on the TFTP server with IP address 192.168.1.2. Let’s see if we can boot from a TFTP server: Router(config)# boot system tftp 192.168.1.2 The boot system command has some options: Router(config)# boot system ? Perhaps your flash memory is too small to fit the latest IOS image or maybe you want to make sure all routers run the same IOS image without manually copying the images to the flash memory of each router. What if I want to boot an IOS image from the network? This could be useful. System image file is "flash:" Booting IOS image from network I can configure the router to boot the other IOS image on my flash memory with the boot system command: Router(config)# boot system flash Īfter reloading the router, I can verify that it has booted the newer image: Router# show version | include image Let’s see how I can select a different image. ![]() System image file is "flash:" Booting IOS image from flash We can see which image was booted: Router# show version | include image Cisco IOS uses a number for each filename and will prefer the lowest file number. The default value is 0001 which means that it will use the first IOS image that it finds on the flash memory. The first 4 bits define where the router will look for the IOS image. You can find the meaning of the bits in this Cisco document. The default value of the configuration register is 0x2101: Router# show version | include register The configuration-register boot option.Which IOS image the router wants to use depends on two options: Let’s see how we can configure the router to boot another IOS image. You can also configure the router so that it looks for the startup-config somewhere else. It’s possible to configure the router so that it will look for an IOS image in another location, like a TFTP server on your network. ![]() There is nothing we can change in step 1 and 2 but we are able to make some changes to step 3 and 4. You can also use it for password recovery. One of the things it is used for is to copy an IOS image to the flash memory in case you accidentally deleted it. ROMMON is a very simple OS with a few features. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why? Because Disney has the legal rights to own the name of their stars. Well, if you ever get a chance to be a Disney star, don’t use your real name. And it wasn’t just meant for when they were in character, it was also meant for when they gave interviews! Wow! One draconian rule that is! This is because each star would get detailed instructions on how to talk and the tone of talking. If you have ever noticed, all your favorite Disney stars would always talk in a high-pitched voice that sounded cute and appealing to the audience. You will always find Disney stars wearing cutesy dresses with blonde hair as opposed to their true nature. Again this comes as a way for Disney to manage their image that appeals to the younger audience. Yes, that might seem strange to you, but the studio has always controlled what their stars would wear and what they won’t. He has admitted that he never felt like he fit the Disney world. There are some exceptions to it such as Shia LeBeouf who didn’t follow through with the same push. ![]() The studio pushes its stars to make a music career as well. Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Hillary Duff, Jonas Brothers to name a few. Not supporting the actor at such a time would have looked bad for the studio, hence, they looked past the incident and kept working with Demi Lovato.Īll the Disney star you know have ended up becoming music artists. For example, when Demi Lovato opened about getting help for mental health issues. Although, there were instances when the studio had to look past the morality clause. If an actor violated the moral clause, Disney would drop them in a minute.Īfter all, it’s about image representation for the studio. Hence, every actor who signed with the studio had to abide by the strict moral clause. Hence, avoiding making a negative impact was imperative. ![]() However, social media posts can contain information that has been approved by the studio.ĭisney has always produced movies and tv shows that were meant for the younger audience. This is not to say that the studio doesn’t rely on the social media accounts of their actors in contracts. But the two main stars of the movie Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz weren’t allowed to post anything related to the movie on their social media. Disney movie Shrek 2 was one of the firsts that got huge social media attention. Yes, that’s right! If a Disney star wanted to post anything remotely related to a Disney movie that hasn’t been released, they needed permission to do so. Permission before posting anything on social media ![]() Let’s take a look at those 10 strict rules that Disney stars had to follow. And it was as if the studio controlled their lives to make a good impression on their young audience. Well, that’s because as a Disney star, they had to follow the strictest policies. And that’s how we also got our popular music artists such as Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and of course, Jonas Brothers.īut if you have followed the journey of these stars from their Disney years and after, you might have noticed that most of them kinda turned rebel and didn’t maintain their sweet, child-like image. I mean we all remember how eager we used to be to watch Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and other such cartoons.Īs we all entered teenage, we started watching popular Disney shows such as Hannah Montana, Lizzie McGuire, Wizards of Waverly Place, and more. Disney, one of the biggest entertainment and production houses around the world! The one that has made a huge impact on the lives of young children around the world with its movies and tv shows. ![]() ![]() Let’s examine the picture below of a website. It’s not wrong to use a centered, tiled or scaled image as a background, in fact it’s even recommended in order to keep the symmetry of the website, however misusing these techniques could give the impression of an average or mediocre design to the website’s visitors. Let’s look at the most common mistakes that a web designer should avoid, when dealing with large backgrounds. Particularly a web designer should experiment with different browser window widths, because many users don’t expand their browsers to the full screen size, even though they may have a large resolution display. A web designer should test the website’s design using as many different screen resolutions as possible, to avoid one of the common mistakes that is associated with using large backgrounds. ![]() One of the most common problems with large backgrounds is that they have to conform to many different screen resolutions. Photographs and illustrations are most widely used, animations are still experimental, but as bandwidth is becoming cheaper and Internet connection speeds are getting faster, more websites can afford to use these. * Graphics and illustrations as backgrounds Large Background StylesĮssentially there are many different styles, but the most commonly used styles on websites are: Finally you will learn how to properly implement large backgrounds. You will also find out about the impact that large backgrounds has on bandwidth and site performance in general. In this article you will learn about the different large background styles and how to use them. ![]() The background does not have to be just photos, but also any other large illustration or even video. A web designer has the possibility to play with different design variables that are usually used by photographers, such as depth of field or focus. Large backgrounds make a very impressive visual impact on websites. ![]() ![]() ![]() Prior to starting the campaign, Preston had secured the help of programmer Beau Blyth who created titles like Samurai Gunn, and musician Disasterpeace, who worked on the music for Fez. Preston originally set out to make the game for Windows, OS X, and Linux computers and started a Kickstarter campaign in September 2013 to secure US$27,000 in funding to complete the title. The theme and story for the game, featuring a protagonist suffering from a terminal disease, is meant as a simile for his own health. After several years of being an animator, he felt he could do so in 2013. Further, he had yearned to develop a game that combined the best elements of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo for many years, which would feature world exploration and combat that required some strategy by the player, depending on foes they faced. Preston envisioned Hyper Light Drifter as a video game as a means "to tell a story can identify with, expressing something personal to a larger audience, so more connected and have an outlet for the many emotions that crop up around life-altering issues". ![]() While in college, Preston had used the mediums of painting and film to illustrate his experiences with frail health and near-death conditions. Preston had been born with congenital heart disease, and throughout his life has been hospitalized with digestive and immune-system issues relating to this condition. Hyper Light Drifter is primarily based on the vision of its key developer Alx Preston. Development The Heart Machine team winning the Independent Games Festival award for Excellence in Visual Art. One feature of SNES games that Preston captured is that there is no spoken dialogue, placing more emphasis on the game's music and visuals to tell a story. Preston's goal was to replicate the experience of playing on the SNES, noting that the unit had "amazing, almost perfect games designed for limited environments" which he challenged himself to simulate in Hyper Light Drifter. The player faces increasingly difficult monsters, both in number and ability, requiring the player to hone their tactics to succeed in the game. Rather than scavenging ammunition from the game world to load the player's guns, the player's ammunition instead charges when hitting enemies and objects with the energy sword. Weaponry includes long-range guns and area attacks. These often require power from rare batteries scattered around the world. The Drifter is equipped with an energy sword and can gain access to other modules that expand their weapon and ability arsenal. The story concept was inspired by lead developer Alx Preston's heart disease, and has been likened by others to Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky, while Preston cites the studio's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind as inspiration for the game's world. The player controls the Drifter, a character that has access to technology that has long been forgotten by the inhabitants of the game's world and is suffering from an unspecified illness. Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action role-playing game fashioned after The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, rendered in a pixel art style. Gameplay and story When conversing with the inhabitants of the world, the player sees images in place of dialogue. A Special Edition port of the game, featuring additional content, was released by Abylight Studios for the Nintendo Switch in September 2018 and for iOS devices in July 2019. The Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X versions were released in March 2016, and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in July 2016. Though originally scoped for release in 2014, various improvements in the game and issues with Preston's health set the release back. Preston originally launched Kickstarter funding for the title for approximately US$27,000 to develop the title for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux computers, but ended up with more than US$600,000, allowing him to hire more programmers and artists, and expanding the title for console and portable platforms through stretch goals. The game pays homage to 8-bit and 16-bit games, and is considered by its lead developer Alx Preston as a combination of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo. Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action role-playing game developed by Heart Machine. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I've reached a point in my career where I want to be surrounded by people who not only share a vision, but a genuine commitment to upholding their company's culture and values. While this has clearly proven to work at some now legendary companies, it's not an easily scalable or reproducible model, it's not necessary, and in my opinion, it's not fun (I say in my opinion because there are those who will argue that winning is fun, regardless of the means employed). More often than not, that's exactly what people did. Rather, they did things their way and expected everyone around them to adapt accordingly. Perhaps shielded by the immense value they brought to their respective organizations, they never cultivated the ability to manage compassionately, or even cared to. It then occurred to me that I've known a number of people who embodied the ability to dream big and get sh*t done, but who also proved very difficult to work with. I added those three words to my notes, drew overlapping circles around "Get sh*t done" and "Dream big", and thought about how invaluable it is to work with people at the intersection of the two. In other words, they just "get sh*t done." Some of the most capable people I've worked with know how to go over, around, or straight through those walls by virtue of their resourcefulness and sheer force of will. As a result, there will always be walls put up on the way to achieving the objective. If a goal is truly visionary, it's going to be confronted by doubters, skeptics, and those threatened by its realization. Asking people to dream big without delivering on the vision was not only an incomplete sentiment, it could carry the unintended consequence of producing pie-in-the-sky thinking without anything to show for it. It's something I would never want taken for granted or crowded out by the singular objective of thinking at scale. Demanding excellence is an important value for us. During this particular meeting, I ended up writing down two simple words to capture this quality: "Dream big," with the intention of cascading the theme more broadly.Īlmost immediately after seeing those words in writing, I realized the message was incomplete.The team leading the discussion that day may have been conservative in their approach to articulating what was possible, but they were also highly capable and credible - and had a proven track record of delivering results. When well reasoned, that kind of vision can be highly inspirational, change the way teams solve for a specific opportunity or challenge, and ultimately, transform the trajectory of a company. Oftentimes, my favorite exchanges are with people who are naturally predisposed to think at truly massive scale and without limitations. Regardless of whether or not they could hit the target (which I think they can), the point was to get them thinking much bigger, without constraints, and to start by asking the question, "What would it take.?" Without hesitation, I challenged the team to increase their long-term goal by roughly 20x. Granted, they were being somewhat conservative, but their objectives were still way off what I would have expected them to be targeting based on the addressable opportunity and the assets we were bringing to the table. Midway through, they covered the measurable results they expected to achieve in three years. It all started in a meeting where a talented team was presenting their plan for a potentially high impact initiative. ![]() As a result, thought it might be interesting to provide some additional context on where the diagram came from. ![]() With 20k+ likes and comments on LinkedIn and over 2.2k retweets and favorites on Twitter, it's become the most viral update I've shared to date.

The decisions made during the first war of Fallujah made the city even more vulnerable to insurgents and within a short period, insurgents had secured the city again. (Karon n.d) ii.The combat tactics used in the first war were successful but they did not ensure the control of the city. The war ended but the civilians of Iraq were not successful in keeping the insurgents away.īy September, the number of insurgents had grown to five thousand and the city was once put under militia control. The state of Iraq wanted the city of Fallujah to be controlled by the citizens of Iraq. ![]() The first battle of Fallujah had been waged in April, 2004 to eliminate the insurgent elements that had killed the Black Water Security team and also reclaim Fallujah from the control of enemy combatants.

His expertise and knowledge provided the techniques necessary for the winning of the bloody second war of Fallujah. LTG Richard Natonski was a retired veteran who specialized in war tactics especially those used in the Middle East by Arab militia and insurgents. The unified army realized success in the battle field due to the wise and skilled leadership of Richard Natonski who was head of the United States Marine Corps.
