They may have circled pads, much like circumaural headphones, only smaller and go on top of the ear. They may also have basic, "open" pads. They were commonly bundled with personal stereos during the 1980s.

Network Time Protocol

The Network Time Protocol is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency information networks. NTP uses UDP port 123 as its transport layer. It is designed particularly to resist the effects of variable latency. NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols still in use. NTP was originally designed by Dave Mills of the University of Delaware, who still maintains it, along with a team of volunteers.

Local area network

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network layer a small geographic area, like a home, office, or group of buildings.Current LANs are most probable to be based on switched IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology, running at 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000 Mbit/s, or on IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi technology. Every node or computer in the LAN has its own computing power but it can also access extra devices on the LAN subject to the permissions it has been permitted. These could include data, processing power, and the capability to communicate or chat with other users in the network.The defining characteristics of LANs, in difference to Wide area networks (WANs), comprise their much higher data transfer rates, lesser geographic range, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

Neem cake

Neem cake natural manure is the by-product obtained in the process of cold pressing of Neem fruits and kernels, and the solvent removal process for neem oil cake. It is a potential source of organic manure under the Bureau of India Standards, Neem has established considerable potential as a fertilizer. For this purpose, neem cake and neem leaves are particularly promising. Puri , in his book on neem has given details about neem seed cake as manure and nitrification inhibitor. The author has described that after processing neem cake can be used for partial replacement of poultry and cattle feed.
