The CK Daily – Prayers for Ukraine
I wish I had a more uplifting update, but over the weekend I saw something on the news that just tore me up. A Ukrainian father was saying goodbye to his young daughter. He was sending her off to the safe zone while he stayed behind to fight. It’s a 43-second clip that I could relate to on a massive scale. I have a daughter around the same age and an even younger one, and I cannot imagine what that family is going through.
I don’t know or understand anything about geopolitics, or war, nor have I ever been in this type of situation, but the clip of the father just breaking down for what could be the last time he sees his child, that I can understand on a visceral level. I don’t have much to say today, my heart is saddened… I held my daughters tight over the weekend. I am thankful that I live in a free and safe country. I pray for the citizens of Ukraine, I pray for the end of the invasion, I pray for peace, I pray that the father will see his daughter once again.

Learning Center Article – What is Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing Technology?
No matter what kind of network you maintain, you always have the same demands: more speed, less cost, and larger capacity. For any network with heavy demands on data and/or distance, this always results in implementing fiber optics. This is technology that grows and shifts every day, and it can be exhausting to stay on top of the mountains of information out there.
To help with that, a few simple explanations of popular fiber optic tech can make your life a lot easier. In that effort, today’s lesson is on CWDM technology. It’s one of several fiber optic cable choices, and it can fill many roles.
