Client-Server Security

Client-Server Security Why Client Server Environments are so Popular Client-server environments are popular because they increase application processing efficiency while reducing costs and gaining the maximum benefit from all resources working together. These benefits are gained by splitting processing between the client machine/software and server machine/software. Each process works independently but in cooperation and compatibility with other machines and applications (or pieces of applications). All independent processing must be performed to complete the requested service. Cooperation of application processing produces another client-server advantage, it reduces network traffic. Since each node… Read More

NLP Language Hierarchy and Thinking Continuum

NLP Language Hierarchy and Thinking Continuum Introduction We use words as tools for putting forth our ideas, explaining concepts or expressing feelings and emotions. The words we use can be extremely specific in nature or most general, or can be in the continuum in between. Neuro-linguistic Programming defines the Meta model, where precise, detailed language is used to convey information. In contrast, the Milton model of Neuro-linguistic Programming is ‘artfully vague’ and uses more broader terms to interpret the internal map. However, in our daily lives, our language is not… Read More

NLP Anchoring

NLP Anchoring Introduction Neuro-linguistic Programming defines anchoring as an internal or external representation that will trigger another representation. It relies on the Stimulus-Response concept, where a particular stimulus will elicit a memory, behavior or feeling. The Neuro-linguistic Programming cofounders Bandler and Grinder found a practical application for classical conditioned responses by using the anchor or the triggering stimulus to move experiences around in time and space. Human beings generate different internal and external responses in terms of states, behaviors, thoughts and feelings in accordance to a particular stimulus. Some of… Read More
