Badí‘

Badí‘ (Arabic: ﺑﺪﻳﻊ 1852  1869) was the title of Mírzá Áqá Buzurg-i-Nishapuri, also known by the title the Pride of Martyrs. He was the son of `Abdu'l-Majid-i-Nishapuri, a follower of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh.

Badí‘ is most famous for being the bearer of a tablet written by Bahá'u'lláh to Nasiri'd-Din Shah, for which he was tortured and killed at the age of 17. He is also one of the foremost Apostles of Bahá'u'lláh.

The Kitáb-i-Badí', a book written by Bahá'u'lláh, has no relation to the Badí‘ of this article.

Travels

Although Badí's father was a Bahá'í, Badí was originally not touched by the new religion. He was an unruly and rebellious youth, and his father described him as the "despair of the family". It was upon a meeting with Nabíl-i-A`zam that Badí‘ heard a poem by Bahá'u'lláh and began weeping. After finishing his studies, he gave away his possessions and set out on foot for Baghdad, where a significant number of Bahá'ís were under persecution. Finally he set out on foot from Mosul through Baghdad to the prison city of `Akka.

Banyan VINES

Banyan VINES was a computer network operating system and the set of computer network protocols it used to connect to client machines on the network. The name was an acronym for Virtual Integrated Network Service. Banyan Systems ran as a collection of services on top of AT&T UNIX System V, and based its core network protocols on the archetypical Xerox XNS stack. VINES was one of a group of XNS-based systems that also included Novell NetWare. It has since disappeared from the market, along with Banyan Systems.

James Allchin, who later worked as Group Vice President for Platforms at Microsoft Corporation until his retirement on January 30, 2007, was the chief architect of Banyan VINES.

VINES technology

VINES ran on a low-level protocol known as VIP—the VINES Internetwork Protocol—that was essentially identical to the lower layers of XNS. Addresses consisted of a 32-bit address and a 16-bit subnet that mapped to the 48-bit Ethernet address to route to machines. This meant that, like other XNS-based systems, VINES could only support a two-level internet.

Chakotay tries to find his shuttle the next day, and encounters one of these "nemesis" - known as the Kradin, who are fierce and non-human in appearance. Chakotay's shuttle is gone so he returns to the Vori. He bonds with them and immediately understands what they are up against.

    A music video for "Enough" was intended to be filmed following the South American tour, but because the director was in a car accident, its release was canceled.

    Bad Enough

    by: A1

    Baby come back, hear me out
    Is there any way to reach you now
    Sitting on the edge
    Thinking out loud
    Maybe there is something that you know
    Something that only you know
    Crying out loud, i wanna do good
    I do it all for you if i could
    The way it looks now
    From where i stood
    Maybe there is something that you know
    Something that only you know
    Running away isn't the way
    Cause if you want it bad enough
    You'll get it if you dont give up
    Running away isn't the way
    Cause if you want it bad enough
    You'll get it if you dont give up
    If you want it bad enough
    If you want it bad (2x)
    If you want it bad enough
    If you want it bad (2x)
    If you want it bad enough
    Take a little time
    Think this through
    See it from another point of view
    Putting myself in any ol shoes
    Maybe there is somewhere that you go
    Somewhere that only you go
    Trying to move on
    All the way down
    Waiting for your head to hit the ground
    Whatever you're in
    We'll figure it out
    Maybe there is something i do now
    That wherever you go
    (Repeat Chorus)
    all in your head
    all in your head
    it's all in your head
    you can fight this illusion
    all in your head
    all in your head
    you can fight this illusion
    all in your head
    it's all in your head
    you can fight this illusion
    all in your head
    it's all in your head
    you can fight this illusion
