Enterprise servers and software applications are continuously being centralized. Most businesses face a new challenge in providing LAN-like turnaround times through the corporate WAN despite processes, and data increasingly becomes centralized. As time goes by, the workforce is gradually being located outside the headquarters and site offices. Remote users will still require the same connectivity just as the office server over LAN. Remote access should not hinder productivity because of slow-paced responses. Most organizations face a constant problem of achieving the turnaround time and ever-on services for remote users. There is a need to have a survival strategy so that users working remotely can continue working smoothly in the event of resource failure. Real-time applications such as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and streaming video have strict requirements on jitter, transport delay,…

Health experts are worried that coronavirus cases in the US may spike again soon — in a matter of days. The reason is because of the upcoming Labor Day holiday since holidays have tended to lead people to relax their guard when it comes to protecting themselves against the coronavirus. Another complicating worry is that any spike now could contribute to this fall being even worse for the US than it otherwise would be, with the onset of the regular flu season. The latest data from Johns Hopkins University shows that the COVID-19 pandemic remains a frightening spectre in the US, with more than 6.1 million coronavirus cases having been reported since the outbreak began (along with more than 186,000 deaths). At the same time, however, the news has gotten a little better in recent days. In an online discussion with the Journal of the American Medical Association on August 20, CDC director Robert Redfield said that many states in the South that had seen their numbers of coronavirus cases surge this summer have started to “turn the tide.” Meanwhile,…

BUSINESS CODE: BCO212 BUSINESS COURSE: BUSINESS FINANCE 1 TIME VALUE OF MONEY. Generally, there is a saying we are all familiar with, that time is money. Time value of money is a paramount financial concept, which means that a certain amount of money now is worth more the same amount in the future. This simply means that if we invest now, the resulting amount of money that will be earned will be much more than the one we invested.

Inflation is the fluctuation of the value of money therefore, by decreasing the value of money the purchasing power increases and vice versa therefore inflation reduces the purchasing power of an individual.  

Differences between direct democracy and a republic In a direct democracy, power is held by the entire population, unlike in a republic where individual citizens are elected by citizens and given the power and mandate to lead them and represent them on government matters. Direct or pure democracies are also characterized by lawmaking that is done by a voting majority with unlimited power to come up with laws. In this regard, minorities do not have sufficient protection from the majority’s will. This is unlike in a republic, where representatives are elected by the people to create laws within the confines of the constitution. Additionally, the majority rules in direct democracies, unlike in a republic where the elected representatives make laws on people’s behalf. Lastly, while the majority can override protection rights in direct democracies, the constitution protects everyone’s right in republics. California (CA) is an excellent demonstration of direct democracies in the United States. In this state, voters can take matters in their hands and recall elected individuals, repeal or enact laws. In CA, voters have been given checks on…

Developing Policy and Planning is an important course to understand the basic concept of policy.

Several economists took a dim view of his policies; however, they cited his ability to break the U.S.’s “obsession” with budget deficits being one of Trump’s positive accomplishments. However, Mark Zandi Moody’s Chief Economist and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz expressed their concerns over President Trump’s moves towards deglobalization. According to Zandi, the U.S. economy will ‘diminish’ after the coronavirus pandemic. He anticipates policymakers to have trouble trying to ‘reengage with the rest of the world.’ Stiglitz criticized Trump’s protectionism and termed it as ‘ugly.’ He cited the ban on medical supply exports and hoped other countries would not reciprocate. According to the former chief economist at Goldman Sachs, Jim O’Neill, there’s a difference between Trump’s rhetoric and what will happen when it comes to reducing the trade deficit with China and bringing jobs back to the U.S. Jim O’Neill warned that without a ‘defined policy’ in the U.S. to deliberately rein in deficit spending,…
