It reduce network costs by using less equipment, less complexity, and an easier implementation and provides greater bandwidth, reliability and resilency than private or leased line. P128 2. What is DLCI? Data Link Connection Identifier- is use to identify the number of each end of the connection. Also it’s try to picture the same flexibility using dedicated lines. P132 3. What layer does DCE and DTE device is consistes and their physical? They both consists on physical and data link component. The physical component defines the mechanical, electrical, funtional, and procedural specifications for the connection between devices. The data-link layer defines the protocol that establishes the connection between the DTE device. P134 4. What are two Frame Relay virtual circuits? * SVC are temporary connections used in situations requiring only sporadic transfer between DTE devices across the Frame Relay network. * PVCs are permanetely established connections that are used for frequent and consistent data transfers between DTE devices across the Frame Relay network.P135 5.

DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nepal Bank Limited is the oldest commercial bank of Nepal. It was established 1937 which marked the beginning of an era of formal banking in Nepal. From the very conception and its creation, Nepal Bank Ltd, was as joint venture between the government and the private sector. Out of 2500 equity shares of NRs. 100 face value, 40% was subscribed by the government and the balanced i.e. 60% was offered for the sale to private sector. There were only 10 shareholders when the bank first started. It can be said that Nepal Bank Limited has a history that is unequal to any in Nepal. It was the first one of its kind. It also served as the central bank of Nepal. It is, thus, safe to say that the history of banking sector in Nepal would be incomplete without mentioning Nepal Bank Limited. The service rendered by Nepal Bank to the country and its people is a great one- one that has no parallel. The banking industry...

...management What is stress mangement Stress management refers to the wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a person's levels of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of improving everyday functioning. In this context, the term 'stress' refers only to a stress with significant negative consequences, or distress in the terminology advocated by Hans Selye, rather than what he calls eustress, a stress whose consequences are helpful or otherwise positive. Stress produces numerous symptoms which vary according to persons, situations, and severity. These can include physical health decline as well as depression. The process of stress management is named as one of the keys to a happy and successful life in modern society.[1] Although life provides numerous demands that can prove difficult to handle, stress management provides a number of ways to manage anxiety and maintain overall well-being. Despite stress often being thought of as a subjective experience, levels of stress are readily measureable using various physiological tests, similar to those used in polygraphs. Many practical stress management techniques are available, some for use by health practitioners and others for self-help, which may help an individual to reduce stress, provide positive feelings of being in control of one's life and promote general well-being. The effectiveness of the different stress management techniques can be difficult to assess,...

...A team is a group of people working together to achieve a common goal. The effectiveness of the project team can make the difference between project success and failure. Our project team has a total of 30 students. Eventhough good strategics and techniques are still necessary, it is the members of the project team itself that are the key to project success which require an effective project team. In order to become an effective team, we have to go through five stages which are Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning. For this essay, we will only focus on the forming and storming stage. Forming stage is the first stage of the group development in which people join the group. In the major process in the forming stage, members become familiar with one another and the group as well as members deal with issues of dependency and inclusion, the acceptance of a leader and the development of the group consensus. There are some characteristic of forming such as tentative, polite communications; concern over ambiguity and group goal; and an active leader and compliant members.The team will focus on orientation to its goals and procedures. Members have to be concerning each other about what the team as individual members are supposed to do. In our team, some conflicts did occur during the time that when we deciding our leaders. Besides, we were unclear about the goals and what we have to do leaded us to have low effectiveness. Everyone refused to be the leader until someone...

BACKGROUND INFORMATION/ADDITIONAL PERSPECTIVES In 1986, a group called London Greenpeace which is an activist body campaigning on a variety of environmental and social justice issues, produced and distributed a leaflet entitled ‘What’s Wrong With McDonald’s? – Everything They Don’t Want You To Know’ outside a McDonald’s store in the United Kingdom. It criticized almost all aspects of the corporation’s business accusing that McDonald’s: is complicit in Third World starvation; buys from greedy rulers and elites and practices economic imperialism; wastes vast quantities of grain and water; destroys rainforests with poisons and colonial invasions; sells unhealthy, addictive junk food; alters its food with artificial chemistry; exploits children with its advertising; is responsible for torture and murder of animals; poisons customers with contaminated meat; and exploits its workers and bans unions. At first, McDonald’s ignored the London Greenpeace campaign but when it grew and was taken up seriously by more and more groups around the world in 1989, they decided to take extreme measures against the group. McDonald’s hired seven private investigators to spy on the London Greenpeace to find out who was responsible for the production and distribution of the leaflet. And to be able to file a libel case they will need names of individuals. So the spies penetrated to the group to get names and addresses, took letters sent to the group, got fully involved to the group’s...

...Effectiveness of Recruitment in Organizations Introduction Recruitment is a ‘linking activity' bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. Companies are now looking out for new ways of giving themselves a competitive advantage. To define recruitment, it is a process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in an organization.
