In this paper we will examine the network configuration used at MKS Instruments. The areas covered will range from the network infrastructure, how it is implemented and how it is used. This paper will also include the technology, hardware involved and a small scale network diagram example. There are many classes of IP addresses ranging from A all the way to E.

"Native American Sound Instruments" Through my own personal experiences and teachings from Native Americans, that have offered to enlighten me, I've gathered that there is a sacred nature rich in spirit and soul to them. The Native American lives religion as a way of life. Children of the tribe grow up in this world of spirituality and learn from example that religion can come as easily as taking a breath every day.

Creating a Musical Instrument By Jessica Tseng Introduction: In this experiment, we attempt to make a musical instrument. My group decided to make a wind instrument, which is an instrument that requires a player to blow in it, in order to have sound. There are some examples of wind instrument like, trumpet, oboe, tuba, etc... In this experiment, we’re going to explain how our wind instrument was made, and how the instrument changes in frequency by blowing in it. For the materials, we used the
took to make the sounds that we are hearing. In this paper, I will explain the physics musical instruments. I will describe and define sound in psychics terms and then describe how different instruments create their unique sounds. There are so many different kinds of music, and thanks to the variety of instruments the combinations of sounds that we can make are limitless. Before we look at musical instruments we have to look at music itself. We need to know what it is made of and learn some basic terms
