...Lord of the Rings The Two Towers As we learn through the first book we come to see that the company of the “Lord of The Rings” goes through hard trials. There is much more to come through their journey though especially in the book of “The Two Towers.” In the book of “The Two Towers” Frodo baggins, and Samwise Gamgee must journey on their own to finish the task that was left for Frodo. While Aragorn II Elessar, Legolas the elf, and Gimli the dwarf search for Peregin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck, most commonly known as Merry and pippin. It all starts with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli searching for Merry and Pippin. The three adventurers go off through the fields tracking down those two hobbits that have been captured by the nasty orcs. The leader of the orcs is none other than the huge appalling Ugluk. He leads his team of orcs, which are known as the Uruk-hai Scouts, to Isengard. That way Saruman could have the hobbits and find out where the ring is. Their plan taking the hobbits to Isengard ended faster than they had expected for they were attacked by Rohirrim. The orcs tried to fight valiantly, but it still ended in ruins for they could not putt up a good fight because they were being shot at by arrows, and their enemy was behind trees on horseback so they couldn’t determine where they were most of the time. While the Orcs were fighting the Rohirrims, Merry and Pippin started to sneak away from the orcs clutches. They successfully escape and begin to head into the “Forrest...

We had prepared to try and bring that down to $4,500,000 as normal bargaining. Schedule of Payments - Initially it was decided to have back loaded payments. We went with an intention of earning better discounts by making them front loaded payments or level payments as we were the pioneers in the industry and thus would have good cash balance. Service - Standard service was agreed upon. But as this is specialized machinery, we would require complete service coverage which was a level 4 service level. We needed to negotiate the service price. Delivery Date - Our requirement was for immediate delivery. This should not be much of a problem according to us as Riggs was capable of delivering the machinery as soon as possible is what we assumed. Although due to relocation of labor resources we may have had to give some up charge regarding immediate delivery but we wanted to offset this by changing the schedule of payments. Actions during the negotiation and Actions decided/done after: We began the negotiation by starting the pricing for the level 4 service. Initial range of the service pricing was varying between $1.4 million and $2 million. After much persuasion and understanding each others’ issues, we...

...IS610 | 4G Wireless Cellular Technology | Need for Standardization | | Rohan Mammen | 11/22/2010 | | ABSTRACT Currently, the fourth generation cellular technology is in the early stages of determining of standardization. Although this new wireless technology seems to offer high data and roaming capabilities across different systems, all key aspects still need detailed understanding, further research and overall development. Currently this technology is in its infancy with respect to creating standards, and henceforth various organizations such the ITU and IEEE have formed several initiatives to create a suitable 4G mobile standards system. The development of 3GPP LTE from UMTS is as such an important step towards the evolution standard, and similarly so is WiMAX developed by IEEE. All of these technologies have unique characteristics while meeting 4G criteria and thus enabling it to become dominant force in the near future. This will indicate all the new trends and technologies needed to execute the next generation cellular mobile technology while showcasing possible scenarios that would benefit the new fourth generation technology. INTRODUCTION In a rapidly moving economy, there exists a fundamental need for communication and for this purpose, instantaneous access to information irrespective of time and location. This has led to increased customer demands for wireless network services which in turn have led to the need for a development from the fundamentals...

...July 9, 2011 Rohan and Sanjay The Case: Sanjay was trying to get his mind into focus on a long evening walk. It had been a harrowing day. The new franchisee he was trying to bring on fell out after months of negotiation, the training manager Rita, had told him she could hold on no longer, she’d like to quit and he’d had a showdown with Rohan his boss. Rohan felt sales were down and people were not performing with a friend’s negative feedback of a stylist being extremely abrasive, hurried and unsure of what the treatment asked for entailed, Rita had also got the brunt of this, which had started happening quite regularly now. He had also found staff chatting around and not being as proactive as they used to be. This was not the first time and Sanjay had tried to explain the situation but Rohan would call in Mr. Shah, minutes of to-do’s would be logged, things settle down and the whole affair repeat itself. Sanjay could not help but imagine how he had at one point enjoyed working for his company and what would finally pan out. Rohan had always been brilliant, an entrepreneur , free spirited and charismatic.

...Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham – Film Review Released in 2001, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (KKKG) is a movie that depicts the growing demographic and socio-economic trends. It signifies the rise of the Hindutva movement and liberalization of the economy. The movie starts of with a question from Yashvardhan ‘Yash’ Raichand (Amitabh Bachchan), the father about “Why is it that a father is never able to tell his son how much he loves him? He’s never able to embrace him and say “I love you my son”? But that doesn’t mean the father loves the son any less ” continued with Nandini Raichand (Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan), the mother saying “And mum, she keeps repeating it, whether her son listens to it or not. No one can fathom the amount of love a mother has for her son… not even the mother, because there is no measure for a mother’s love. It’s an emotion that can only be felt by a mother’s emotions. My son… My life…” This emotional yet honest dialogue makes the audience’s eyes teary right from the start as memories of their own parents flash through their own minds. KKKG is a movie based on family, traditions, love and believe. It is one that every Indian, be it a resident in India or a non-residential Indian (NRI), touching the hearts of everyone. As India becomes more developed and global, Indian traditional and religious concepts of life are confronted with perceptions of a Western and modern way of life. Considering the fact that the family is the fundamental reference point in traditional...

...managed to take him to a place where he could be properly cared for (Tolkien, 236-242). Similarly, during the Two Towers Rohan had no chance of prevailing, but Gandalf appeared out of the blue with an army and aided the city in its victory. Likewise, at the commencement of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, the Jews were cornered by the Egyptians with an entire sea blocking their path; God knew that they were stuck in quicksand and parted the Red Sea to pull them out of it (Good News Bible: Today's English Edition, Exodus 14. 10-21). On the other hand, the film excludes Tom Bombadil, who is a major unusual coincidence, for example, he magically appears and saves the hobbits from the Old Forest. At times, one is not given a yellow brick road to follow, but God is always there to create a new...

...Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - ”It's all about loving your parents” Yashovardhan Raichand, also called Yash, is a famous Indian businessman. He and his wife Nandini adopted a son, Rahul, and raised him as their own. Nine years later they had their own son, Rohan. Rahul's adoption has always been kept as a secret, but he finds out at the age of 8 years. He promised his father, that he would always respect the traditions of the Raichand family.

...The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers The Lord of the Rings provides a great look into what it takes to be a successful leader. There are a number of important characters in the series that contribute to these important lessons. For this paper, we will be focusing on the leadership roles of the characters within The Two Towers book and movie. We will also explain some of the major differences between the book and movie. The important characters that will be discussed are Gandalf, Aragorn, Frodo, Gollum, Merry, Pippin, and Treebeard. It has been said that a true leader is someone who has followers, which is something that is definitely portrayed by Gandalf the White, as well as Gandalf the Grey. Many characters in the movie and book look to Gandalf for assistance and direction, such as Frodo, Aragorn, and King Théoden. Gandalf is the type of leader that could be followed anywhere, as he makes it a priority to always manage the current situation, and to look into the bigger picture as well. He is always calculating the next moves in order to get the right people in place for the greater challenges that are going to come. He has developed many great relationships with those who follow him, and he has shown that he greatly empowers the individuals that he comes into contact with. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers shows Gandalf in a different light than he had been shown in the previous film. Gandalf started out being Gandalf the Grey in “The Fellowship of the Ring”...

...Affiliation Course Tutor Date Search Engine Optimization The World Wide Web has in the modern world become so vital in the sharing and connection of files and documents on the internet (Johnson, 2014). Because of the millions of files and documents available on the World Wide Web, programs have been developed to help users in their search for documents on the internet (Rohan, 2014). A program that locates and identifies documents on the World Wide Web that match keywords specified by the user is called a search engine. Popular examples of search engines include Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search. After conducting a search, the engine displays websites that contain documents marching the keywords typed by the user with the most relevant at the top. The websites that appear at the top do so because of a technique known as search engine optimization (SEO). This technique assists search engines to identify and rank higher particular websites than numerous others in response to a search query. SEO involves writing pages that use keywords that are in regular use by people in searches (Rohan, 2014). Website owners use SEO in order to acquire quality results within search engines that are frequented by users, and this is in a bid to increase traffic to their websites. Designing and optimizing a site in a manner that it attains the highest search rankings is what SEO entails. The use of SEO is the cheapest as compared to Pay Per Click (PPC) Adwords (Rank Executives, 2014)...

...Dino Chavez, 1501114 M. McKenzie English 1302, Period 4 21 May 2011 Human versus Machine In today’s world full of exponential technological growth, it is only a matter of time until the world irreversibly changed to conform to this technological growth. The present growth and apparent future growth due in part to the rise in popularity of biomedical engineering. But what exactly is biomedical engineering and how is it causing our world to show substantial growth in technology? Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. Because it is a highly interdisciplinary field, as one (inner) field of biology, medicine, or engineering expands, so does biomedical engineering. All of this technological growth does, however, pose a question: Will the vast technological growth cause a change in mankind? The rise in popularity of biomedical engineering will lead to machine taking over mankind or human immortality and dissolution of human identity. With the rise of biomedical engineering present, machines are making their presence. Lev Grossman states: “So if computers are getting so much faster, so incredibly fast, there might conceivably come a moment when they are capable of something comparable to human intelligence.” With the incredible power that is continually contributed to computers and other machines, is there a limit to how powerful machines will become? Without a limit to the amount of memory and...
