...Peer-to-Peer VS. Client Server Trevor Crews Strayer University Networks are used to offer advantages that cannot be obtained through the sole use of a standalone computer. There are two common types of network, Peer-to-Peer and Client/Server. Peer-to-Peer is the simpler of the two while client server remains the more complex. Both types offer advantages and disadvantages over the others. “In a peer-to-peer network, every computer can communicate directly with every other computer.” (Dean, 2010) This set-up allows for all computers to have access to each other and the same level of authority. Because of this fact no one computer can do more or less than any other computer on the network. They do, however; each have the ability to limit and share only a portion of their resources and the ability to prevent access to certain data. As they are set up directly to each other every computer has the ability to send and receive information to and from every other computer on the network. Using Peer-to-Peer networks though however does have its advantages and disadvantages. First let’s look at the advantages. The main advantage to a Peer-to-Peer network is how simple it is to configure. This allows them to be deployed in areas where high-end technical expertise may be limited. Due to this fact they can be seen in areas from local home networks to small businesses and at times even larger companies may implement them. Another advantage is that they are less expensive to both set...

...the Model Rules of Professional Ethics many of the rules differ on the use of “shall” vs “may”. The tricky situations come when a lawyer “may” disclose information that could hurt his relationship with the client. When you are wearing the hat or being an ethical attorney it can be difficult to choose between right and wrong. The first scaled weights exist when you are representing your clients in the situation of attorney client privilege. As an attorney you are an officer of the court and owe a duty to justice, the rule of law and the tribunal. On the other hand you have a duty to your client. The client must be able to completely honest with you and know that you will keep the conversations secret. As an attorney you must act as a zealous advocate of the client and further their interests. Unlike most other professions that deal in arm’s length interactions an attorney owes a fiduciary duty to his or her own client. Rule 1.1 is the Duty of Competence which goes beyond the knowledge of the law to encompass skills preparation and diligence. Rule 1.3 states the duty of the attorney to handle all matter with reasonable diligence and promptness. As an attorney if you do not follow these rules you not only commit an ethical transgression but can also be held liable to your client for damages. Other fundamental fiduciary duties include...

My sister or he do not know that I know that they are seeing each other. Now the ethical issue that is going on is that one of my sisters is dating one of my clients and at this moment I know they are in a relationship together. The ethical result is that I feel the pain from knowing because she is my sister and I know what my client history of marrying women without divorcing the other women’s but, I cannot tell her about it. Being a bigger sister my mind is thinking g on how to protect my sister from getting hurt by my client. This will be the ethical choice for me trying to protect my sister but it will not be ethical when it applies to my job.

...Peer-to-Peer and Client/server Networks Professor: Karen Lederer Trevor Kale 4/16/2011 We shall discuess the difference between Peer-to-Peer networks and the Client/Server networks. First we need to describe how each one operates in order to view the differences between both. First we will describe a Peer-to-Peer network. In the Peer-to-Peer network every computer can communicate directly with every other computer.(2009, Dean, Pg.3) Because of this setup no one computer has more authority then another one on the network. Each person on the network can set their access and restrictions for other users to their computer. These configurations are simple to configure and due to the simplisity they do not require a great technical expertise. They also tend to be cheaper due to lack of need of equipment to establish this network. Some disadvantages consist of not being flexible, that is as they grow they become more difficult to handle. Security on these networks is very lacking due to ease of access of unauthorized access. They are also not very practical due to the lack of centralized resources requires a user to have their terminal on in order to access their resources. That is the basics of a Peer-to-Peer network setup, next we move on to the Client/Server model. In a Client/Server network a centralized computer known as a server facilitates communication between other computers on the network known as clients. For a computer to function as a server they must be running...

...process, all parties concerned had to bear the consequences. First, Lee and Li’s reputation was seriously affected in Taiwan and abroad. The firm’s core principles of excellence in quality and client service were jeopardized since Liu used Sandisk’s shares to perpetuate the fraud. Prospective clients might find it difficult to trust the firm and would prefer taking their business elsewhere. Besides losing important clients, Lee and Li would have to make extra effort to restore its tarnished image. Second, apart from the fact that Lee and Li had no insurance to cover the embezzlement, partners in Taiwan shared unlimited liability. Therefore, lawyers like Paul Hsu, C.V Chen and Kwan-Tao Li were more vulnerable in this situation: they faced the possibility of loosing all of their possessions and professional livelihood. Third, Lee and Li could face bankruptcy and might be forced to close down. Consequently, lawyers and staff working at the firm would lose their jobs and would not be able to provide for their families until they found another job. After being informed about the embezzlement, Lee and Li should take corrective decisions and act quickly to ensure that the firm survives. Since news of the fraud hadn’t made the headlines yet, senior partners should first try to handle the situation internally. In this scenario, it is crucial that they are surrounded by highly-trusted people to help bring the firm back on track. Paul Hsu, Chen and Li should send a trusted person...

...In Chapter 4 we see how we try to give each client a 10+ sessions to be able to work out the challenges they have to work out. There is always going to be challenges when you work waith people because there is no cookie cutter way to treate any one person. You need to break down the areas that they are looking to work on and go from there. In lessons 1-3 you are setting up the base line for the remaining appointments. You want your client to feel as if they can trust you and that you are available to listen to them in what ever way they need you. You also need to provide them with a demeanor that shows your interested and available. This is also where you do your basic analysis of the client; are they dangerous to themseves or others, are they mentally stable and is this something they can handle doing at this point in time. In the second session you are focusing on the BECHRISTLIKE formula.With this you can really break down the client and see where they stand when it comes to everything, are they teachable, are they dedicated, can they let things go, ect. In the third and fourth sessions, is where you are going to end up diagnosising the client with something and where you both will make a plan. This plan will cover how they intend to solve the problem and if they can adhere to it. Sessions 5-10 are where things become typically difficult. This is where the real problem is exposed and where challenges will start to surface. The client make face set backs in terms of lapses and...

...Inc. is a small company that has no one dedicated to information technology or networking on the staff, and there are 20 Windows peer-to-peer client computers all connected via coax cabling. The president has indicated that the company plans to double in size over the next two years, but she is weary of drastically changing the computing environment. This is my first assignment, but I feel that I have a very good plan to help give them a faster, more secure, and efficient network. The first change that I would recommend would be to move away from a peer-to-peer network to a client/server network. I would explain that there are many advantages to switching to a client/server network such as (Dean, 2009): * User logon accounts and passwords for anyone on a server-based network can be assigned in one place. * Access to multiple shared resources (such as data files or printers) can be centrally granted to a single user or groups of users. * Problems on the network can be monitored, diagnosed, and often fixed from one location. * Servers are optimized to handle heavy processing loads and dedicated to handling requests from clients, enabling faster response time. * Because of their efficient processing and larger disk storage, servers can connect more than a handful of computers on a network. The advantages of a client/server far outweigh any possible disadvantages. Since Opcer Inc. has plans of expansion, I would strongly recommend that the current coaxial...

...that suggests most or nearly every social worker develops ethical practices from their training or state licensing boards. During therapeutic involvement counselors explore various methods of intervention tactics learned. However, it is other viewpoints critical for the development of each therapist style. This paper examines the development of this counselor’s personal values, ground rules, and ethics in a professional setting. The main focus describes viewpoints of the counselor’s perspectives, the effects, and sources, which contributed to these notions. This paper further explains the counselor decisions in ethical practices. Moreover, primarily counselors are responsible for the entire treatment process for their clients. This relationship often entails a variety of settings, such as private practice offices or working in organizational environments. On occasions these external factors influence personal values, ground rules, and ethics.

...BPO, Incorporated BPO, INC. is a professional services organization that offers its clients a range of services from risk management/insurance brokerage to management consulting. The EBO is one of BPO’s fastest-growing businesses. Although its revenues have been growing 30% annually, the division has had a big loss. And its business is at risk due to its poor customer service. So the Executive Vice President wants an immediate update on the ongoing Six Sigma project to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Health and Welfare Service Delivery Process. EBO’s operation is inefficient and ineffective, negatively impacting the profitability and service levels of the Health and Welfare Service Delivery Process. First, the Database Update Sub-Process and the Participant Care Sub-Process are highly interrelated with each other in processes, so they often have to increase steps to address customer issues. These non-value adding steps just increase the variances of processes and decrease customer satisfaction. Second, the unreasonable schedule doesn’t match the timeline of service demand, leading to low utilization of employees. Third, BAs’ and CSRs’ improper operations result in the delay of callbacks. BPO launched a six sigma project to obtain the result of baseline performance metrics and the data of variances in processes. They also draw a process map to try to find the bottlenecks of the operational processes and to solve problems. In order to develop an accurate and...

...relationships to assist an individual in growth and problem solving. Groups are an excellent treatment choice for numerous intrapersonal and interpersonal issues, and in helping people to change. Groups provide a sense of community to its members allowing them to see that they are not alone. In group therapy sessions, members are encouraged to discuss the issues that brought them to therapy openly and honestly. It is the responsibility of the counselor to work to create an atmosphere of trust and acceptance that encourages members to support one another. This atmosphere is developed and maintained from the initial intake of a client to the close of group. Many ethical dilemmas and questions arise for group therapists, a few of which will be addressed here: group work with diverse populations; rights of clients, informed consent and confidentiality; and involuntary clients. Description of Topic More recently group therapy has been widely used in the mental health field. There is a natural power in a therapeutic group that helps to bring about personal change for group members (Corey, Corey & Corey, 2010). Groups are designed to remediate specific problems or even prevent problems. It is the responsibility of the group leader, or counselor, to consciously acknowledge human diversity in society and the group setting. If a therapist ignores basic differences in people, they are not doing what is in the best interest of the group members. (Corey et al., 2010) Counselors must engage...
