1. Cloud computing in Africa is being driven by improvements in technology like high speed network links, large data storage, and fast switching capabilities. Compliance requirements and cost containment are also major factors.
2. While network speeds and fiber connectivity to Africa are increasing, limitations still exist like high internet costs, latency issues for cloud services hosted abroad, and limited cloud infrastructure in Africa currently.
3. As cloud adoption increases in Africa, organizations will be able to rapidly deliver e-commerce, use internet marketing more easily, and employees will have improved mobility and effectiveness through unified communication tools on the cloud. Infrastructure costs for organizations will also decrease significantly.
Managing workplace Internet access is a daunting challenge for network administrators. With most networks hosting both trusted & untrusted users, the need of the hour is to personalize the network experience – identity centric networking. Existing silo solutions such as firewalls, UTM & routers fall short of this identity centric requirement. Inventum solutions offer a new approach to building & managing enterprise Internet networks.
Web seminars, also called webinars, allow large group presentations, training classes, and meetings to take place online. They reduce costs and travel time compared to in-person events while maintaining interactivity. Webinars are easy to set up using conferencing software and invitations with links. They differ from web conferences in supporting more attendees in a "one-to-many" format where the presenter shares their screen and controls the audio while attendees can ask questions.

Mesopotamia: City states vocab review (by Cecilia)DavidProfeSoc
The document provides vocabulary related to Mesopotamian city-states, including terms like city-states, lower Mesopotamia, farmers, craftsmen, trade, to lead to, to worship, priest, harvest, taxes, military commanders, to take control, and to stretch from. The reader is prompted to write down any unknown words and try translating them to Spanish.
Ancient Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. The Sumerians established the world's first civilization there around 3500 B.C. Sumerian society was organized into independent city-states like Ur and Uruk, each centered around a ziggurat temple. The Sumerians invented cuneiform writing and irrigation systems that allowed them to produce food and develop stable communities.
Mesopotamian society was stratified, with slaves at the bottom. Slaves were obtained through warfare, debt, or as payment and had no legal rights. Commoners, who made up 85% of the population as farmers or tradesmen, had more freedom but little wealth or education. Merchants and artisans invented writing and engaged in regional trade, producing goods. Scribes comprised the educated class who could read, write, and work for the government. Priests controlled land distribution and crops, ran schools, and were influential as religious authorities. Kings stood at the top as either divine rulers ordained by the gods or actual gods in human form, wielding absolute power and authority as head of government and military
Mesopotamian society was strictly hierarchical, with slaves at the bottom. Slaves could be prisoners of war or people in debt, and had no legal rights.
