...he is holding a stick and hitting his brither Dhruv from the back. She questions what does this Peacock feather represent? I will have to ask Bihaan. Bihaan comes in room and Thapki asks lets play a game. Bihaan on seeing Thapki, loses his senses and goes into another world, imaging only Thapki with background song Tum Tak. Thapki says I will say a a word and the first thing comes into your mind on hearing that word, you will tell that. Bihaan says what is this game? This is so kiddish, lets play a grown up game. Thapki says that through this game I will know what is in your heart. Bihaan replies, is that so? You will know everything about what is inside my heart? Gajaab! Thapki says 'bada'l, Bihaan replies 'barish'. 'Train'.. He says "Chuk chuk gadi' She says, 'Peacock feather'. He replies, 'Bhagwan'. Bihaan gets a phone and leaves the room saying we will continue this game after the break. Thapki realises that Bihaan calls Bhagwan to Maa. She joins the dots and concludes that it was Vasu who had stopped my marriage with Dhruv as she has stated before also that she hates people who stammer. Sharadha says why was Thapki lying? She sees Bihaan..and says the biggest fool is Bihaan who is believing her. I will expose Thapki infront of everyone. Daadi Maa is reading a paat. She says that all the solutions to problems are in this paat. Thapki asks that what if the truth hurts everyone? Daaddi says whatever the truth is..it has to be out. Thapki says to herself, Vasu's truth will...

...Aaron Karo 12/8/08 Professor Phipps Concert Review The Korean Percussion Ensemble was held in the Annette Recital Hall at the Center for the Arts. The director of the band was Soojin Kim Ritterling. The performance was called "Samulnori", which means "four things playing." These four things refer to the four instruments used in Nongak. The first song played by the Korean band was called "Tego Sori" by Soojin Kim Ritterling. The song started out with a bang as the bass drums were played. Then, other drums joined the bass drums. This combination of the two different drums playing together had a really good beat and rhythm. The beat started picking up pace after the two drums played together. The song sounded good as it changed it's speed, rhythm, and tempo quite often. The song ended just as it began, with very loud drums and a very quick pace. The next song was called "Yongnam Nongak." The song started off with gongs playing, and the rest of the band joined in, in sync with the gongs. They were all playing in unison and the song sounded good, as it had good range from higher pitched drums to lower pitched drums. As the song continued to play, I noticed that the bigger gong that was playing, controlled the beat and rhythm of the song. The song sounded as it if were a ceremonial song they played in their country. Then, the drums started picking up the pace of the song along with the gongs. The drums picked up the pace while hitting both sides...

Since computers help us to deal with approximately all the major functions of our lives as well as are so inevitable that spending even a day or two away from the computer can leave us feeling powerless. In this prospect, many people control their routine lives by means of their personal computers. However, at the present computer security has become a very critical issue. Additionally, security refers to the technique to discover as well as stop illicit utilization of our secret information or computer. In this scenario, some preventive measures enable us to stop criminal users (as well known as "intruders") from accessing and using some part of our computer system. In addition, recognition of such intrusions helps us in deciding whether or not somebody tried to gain access into our computer system, if they were successful in their attempt, as well as what they could have acquired from the system (ComputerSecurityService, 2011), (Armor2net Software Ltd., 2004) and (Norton, 2001). In addition, the term “computer security” is very commonly used, though; the information and data saved on a computer...

...It is generally agreed that biases can creep into our decision making processes, calling into question the correctness of a decision. Below is a list of some of the more commonly debated cognitive biases. Selective search for evidence - We tend to be willing to gather facts that support certain conclusions but disregard other facts that support different conclusions. Premature termination of search for evidence - We tend to accept the first alternative that looks like it might work. Inertia - Unwillingness to change thought patterns that we have used in the past in the face of new circumstances. Contrariness or rebelliousness - Unwillingness to share a view with a perceived oppressive authority. Experiential limitations - Unwillingness or inability to look beyond the scope of our past experiences; rejection of the unfamiliar. Selective perception - We actively screen-out information that we do not think is salient. (See prejudice.) Wishful thinking or optimism - We tend to want to see things in a positive light and this can distort our perception and thinking. Choice-supportive bias occurs when we distort our memories of chosen and rejected options to make the chosen options seem relatively more attractive. Recency - We tend to place more attention on more recent information and either ignore or forget more distant information. The opposite effect in the first set of data or other information is termed Primacy effect. Repetition bias - A willingness to believe what...

...My Perfect Position at Good Shepherd Inc. Chuks P. Ihezue LDR/531 October 30, 2011 Shari Lane Introduction (Yukl, 2010), puts it this way, “Leading change is one of the most important and difficult leadership responsibilities…it is the essence of leadership and everything else is secondary”, and insists that for a leader to be effective, s/he needs to resuscitate the organization and be quick to adapt to this ever changing socio-economic environment we’re living in. As the founder of Good Shepherd Internationale, Inc. (GSI), I am committed more than anybody to see that the organization gets to the pinnacle of the Non-profit organizations. For the purpose of this paper, I will focus on the expansion and restructuring of this organization since an opportunity has been presented to me to determine the position that best suits me. From the perspective of my leadership style, this serves as a self assessment time which aims to benefit my organization immensely. Based on that, I will explore the strengths and weaknesses of my leadership style. Further, I am expected to compare and contrast my leadership approach with the leadership theories in our textbooks to enable me have a better understanding of the relevance of the theories to my leadership style. Robbins and Judge, 2011, states that no company operating in this present time would claim to be sailing on a stable business environment, not even for those that dominate their industry’s market share- all must dance to...

It was a memorable event because there was a cross match of Cultures and ideas, owing to the fact that the groom was not a Nigerian, compared to the bride who was. The event was attended by the family of the groom, who came all the way from England. The parents of the groom had to be dressed in the usual traditional attire, fit for the traditional rites, though It was a struggle to have the head gear of the grooms mother in place because it kept going off at intervals owing to the size of her head.After the traditional rites (payment of dowry) the bride was unveiled as the tradition demands, prayers were said by the oldest man in the bride’s family and it was all merriment and dance. The grand reception was held in a hall(Orchid Hotel) in Asaba and I had the opportunity to witness an opulent and electrifying decoration by one of the best Event Planners from Abuja Nigeria(Red Diamond Events) There was so much class and elegance, the hall was a masterpiece and I felt and imagined...

...Football refers to a number of sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer". Unqualified, the word football applies to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears, including association football, as well as American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby league, rugby union[1] and other related games. These variations of football are known as football codes. Various forms of football can be identified in history, often as popular peasant games. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.[2][3] The influence and power of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread, including to areas of British influence outside of the directly controlled Empire,[4] though by the end of the nineteenth century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic Football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage.[5] In 1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football competitions. In the twentieth century, the various codes of football have become amongst the most popular team sports in the...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Current trends in electric energy generation are moving towards the utilization of the environment friendly sources of energy, represented by the wind and solar energy ones as a supplementary energy resource. The solar based one is the more attractive because it is characterized by being free, incur no fuel cost, abundant, limits less, distributed all over the world, pollution free, and require little maintenance. Maximizing power output from a solar system is desirable to increase efficiency and in order to maximize power output from the solar panels, one need to keep the panels aligned with the sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required. Efficient collection of maximum solar irradiance (MSI) on a flat plate type photovoltaic solar panels or a cylindrical parabolic solar reflector requires adjustments of two parameters of the energy collecting surface namely the angle of Azimuth, and the angle of tilt, of the surface to be illuminated. As the elevation angle of the sun remains almost invariant in a month and varies little (latitude + 100) in a year, there is no need for automatic adjustment of the tilt angle. Everyday, the sun rises in the east, moves across the sky and sets in the west. If one could get a solar panel to turn and look at the sun all day hours, then it could receive the maximum amount of sunlight possible and convert it into the more useful energy (electricity). The current of the solar module is very sensitive...
