1. The 52 week savings challenge

This is a challenge where you start by saving 50 shillings next week (week 1 of the year), then 100 bob the next week, 150 bob next week and so on and so forth, until the last week of December where we will save 2,600 bob, and your savings will add up to Kshs 68,900 . The point is to add 50 shillings every week to the previous week’s savings amount. here’s the plan;

However how many have had the discipline to keep up with the challenge till December? I mean realistically can you remember how much you put in mid May for example. It seems quite technical and honestly saving does not really come out easily for anyone. It takes a certain level of personal conversations and standing orders to get people there.

It’s not just our money, it’s our money minds, out of sight is out…

BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING

Business Process Re-engineering also commonly known as BPR involves the radical redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, cycle times and quality.

In BPR, companies start with a blank sheet of paper and rethink existing processes to deliver more value to the customer. They typically adopt a new value system that places increased emphasis on customer needs. Companies reduce organizational layers and eliminate unproductive activities in two key areas.

-First, they redesign functional organizations into cross-functional teams.

-Second, they use technology to improve data dissemination and decision making.

How Business Process Re-engineering works:

Business Process Re-engineering is a dramatic change initiative that contains five major steps that managers should take:

• Refocus company values on customer needs
• Redesign core processes, often using information technology to enable improvements
• Reorganize a business into cross-functional teams with end-to-end responsibility for a process
• Rethink basic organizational and people issues
• Improve business processes across the organization

ETHICAL HACKING

Most people think hackers have extraordinary skill and knowledge that allow them to hack into computer systems and find valuable information. The term hacker conjures up images of a young computer whiz who types a few commands at a computer screen and poof! the computer spits out passwords, account numbers and other confidential data.
In reality, a good hacker, or security professional acting as an ethical hacker, just has to understand how a computer system works and know what tools to employ in order to find a security weakness.
Most ethical hackers are in the business for hacking for profit, an activity known as Penetration Testing or Pen Testing. Pen testing is usually conducted by a security professional to identify security risks and vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
The purpose of identifying risks and vulnerabilities is so that a counter measure can be put in and the risk mitigated to some degree. Ethical hackers are in the business of hacking and as such need to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
Additionally, state, country, or international laws must be understood and carefully considered prior to using hacking software and techniques. Staying within the law is a must for the Ethical Hacker. An Ethical Hacker is acting as a security professional when performing pen tests and must always act in a professional manner.

CHESS GAME

Chess is a strategy game played by two players on a sixty four-squared chessboard.

Each player begins with a set of sixteen pieces which is either white or black comprising of a king, a queen, two castles also called rooks, two horses also known as knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently, with the most powerful being the queen and the least powerful the pawn. The main agenda is to checkmate the opponent’s king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player’s pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent’s pieces, while supporting each other.

In addition the game can be won by the opponent resigning voluntarily, it mostly happens when too much material is lost, or checkmate appears unavoidable. A game can also end in a draw when a checkmate cannot be reached.

 

A chess match requires fast thinking and problem solving on the fly because your opponent is constantly changing the parameters.
