The Domain Name System (DNS) provides translation between human-readable domain names and machine-readable IP addresses. DNS works like a phone book, allowing users to look up IP addresses using easier to remember domain names. DNS has a hierarchical structure with top-level domains at the root and subordinate domains below. DNS servers store and serve DNS records to resolve domain names to IP addresses through either iterative or recursive queries. Authoritative DNS servers maintain definitive records for their registered domains.

Tourism an oppurtunity for community developmentAbby Varghese
Tourism can benefit local communities in several ways if managed properly. Economically, tourism creates many direct and indirect jobs for local communities, increases income and revenue, and leads to infrastructure development. Socially, tourism improves quality of life for host communities through facilities, healthcare, and preserving cultural traditions. It also culturally benefits visitors by enhancing appreciation of other cultures. Environmentally, tourism contributes to conservation by directly funding protected areas and raising environmental awareness, as natural attractions must be preserved to keep the tourism industry viable. Overall, tourism can drive community development when revenues support local communities and priorities.

Big Data - Hadoop and MapReduce for QA and testing by Aditya GargQA or the Highway
This document discusses how big data tools like Hadoop and MapReduce can help testing teams. It provides an example of using these tools to test a multicast tick-by-tick data adapter. Testing the adapter was challenging due to the large volume and velocity of data. Hadoop and MapReduce were used to compare output files in a distributed manner, generating a report in under two hours instead of manually. Other scenarios where testing teams could use big data tools include beta testing, regression analysis, and gathering customer feedback data.
The document discusses various types of test tools used at different stages of testing. It describes tools for test management, requirements management, incident management, configuration management, static testing, static analysis, modeling, test design, test data preparation, test execution, test harness, test comparators, coverage measurement, security testing, dynamic analysis, performance testing, load testing, stress testing, monitoring and thanks the reader. The tools support activities like scheduling tests, tracking bugs, reviewing code, generating test data, automating test execution, measuring code coverage and monitoring system performance.
Labor Productivity: Wages, Prices, and Employmentecogeeeeeks
This document discusses labor productivity, including its definition, importance, trends, and relationship to wages, prices, and employment. Some key points:
- Labor productivity is defined as total real output divided by the number of worker hours. It is an important factor in wage and living standard growth and in controlling inflation.
- Long-term productivity growth is driven by capital investment, improved education/skills, technological progress, and efficiency gains. Cyclically, productivity declines in recessions and rises in expansions.
- While productivity varies across industries, wages are relatively even, so output and employment shift toward more productive sectors over time. However, data shows no clear relationship between industry productivity and employment growth when demand factors

Linking Development Cooperation and Transitional Justice for Sustainable Peac...Catrin Froehlich
This document discusses the links between transitional justice and economic development in Nepal. It argues that transitional justice efforts in Nepal have focused mainly on civil and political rights, but economic deprivation was a root cause of the conflict so transitional justice must also address violations of economic, social, and cultural rights. Unemployment, poverty, and an extractive state led to grievances that the Maoists exploited. The government has a responsibility to foster inclusive economic growth to guarantee these rights and create opportunities to prevent renewed conflict, but insecurity, corruption, and impunity have hampered the private sector and economic development in Nepal.

1) Various groups in Nepal including activists, business representatives, and friends/families of victims have been demanding rule of law and an end to violence.
2) Forced donations and illegal activities like extortion hamper Nepal's economy by reducing investment, increasing prices, and misallocating funds.
3) While businesses assume more industrial security would solve their problems, true security will only come when citizens feel safe everywhere, not just at factories. Broader social stability is needed.
4) The private sector plays a crucial role in bringing different stakeholders together, though more work is needed to address non-business issues.
10-08-15 No 10 The value of trust - NBI - THT - CF.PDFCatrin Froehlich
Trust is essential for businesses to flourish but is lacking in Nepal due to a lack of transparent laws and weak rule of law. This forces businesses to spend significant resources on security instead of more productive activities. If institutionalized trust existed through a strong legal system, businesses could save on security costs and plan ahead, enabling more trade, job creation and economic development. Both businesses and society would benefit from a strong private sector lobby promoting security and trust.

The document discusses how companies can improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to create more sustainable benefits. It argues that occasional, random donations do little beyond improving a company's public image. Instead, companies should carefully map their stakeholders, ensure CSR activities strategically benefit important stakeholders, and implement innovative, long-term solutions through stakeholder engagement. This approach strengthens performance, manages risks, and builds trust with stakeholders, improving business decisions and catalyzing positive change for both companies and society.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) applies to all businesses regardless of size. While larger multinational corporations tend to have more formal CSR strategies, smaller businesses must also be responsive to their stakeholders' needs. For small business owners like a village teashop owner, the dissatisfaction of even one influential customer could have severe consequences. Due to direct interactions with stakeholders, microbusinesses naturally have a responsibility to consider their business partners. As businesses grow in size and impact, their CSR strategies must adapt, such as defining operational standards and mitigating any negative environmental impacts. Ultimately, the concept of responsible business practices is important for organizations of all types and scales that depend on community goodwill.
10-06-27 No 3 CSR in the community - NBI - The Himalayan TimesCatrin Froehlich
The document discusses sustainable approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in local communities. It suggests that companies form long-term partnerships with communities and local organizations to jointly manage CSR projects, ensuring sustainability even if the company's financial situation changes. This approach distributes costs and benefits more equally while also building trust and cooperation. The document provides the examples of partnering with a community group to jointly run a health post and maintain it, as well as supporting local entrepreneurs through training, funding, or networks to create jobs and source locally.
