English Language Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
At the heart of the Indo­Pak conflict are two constants: one, the political usefulness of a war­like situation in both countries, and two, mutually sustained mindsets which recognise war as the only real solution. India and Pakistan are all the time vulnerable to the urge of fight. Peace­time life carries sense of drudgery for millions of people in both countries. Military­preparedness and the news of impending war have the unfortunate capacity to give both the young nation­states an instant sense of purpose.
One can' help recalling time when India derived a sense of purpose by acting as a force for world peace. During the seventies, it started to lose that t self­identity, even as the failure of the national development project of the sixties became all too apparent. A new national identity began to take shape, alongside the models available in the cold war­ridden world. Hunger, poverty and illiteracy gradually ceased to inspire the state planning apparatus.
The desired self­image of a military power served a cohesive political role.
Pakistan' journey to the bomb was different, and its problem of self­identity more real and difficult. The separation of Bangladesh pushed Pakistan s towards nurturing a West Asian identity, a socially divisive process which encouraged Islamic fundamentalism under Zia' regime. A dangerous s confluence of militarism and fundamentalism emerged as the only nation­building device left.
Both countries have used education and the media to reinforce hostile mindsets. In Pakistan, school textbooks openly teach prejudice towards
Hinduism and equate India with Hindus, belittling Indiaâ struggle for secularism. Elite public schools have a better record, but their products either s migrate or learn to live on the margins of a fluid, routinely manipulated public space. That journey to the margin of a rapidly shrinking political space is just beginning for the Indian elite whose children have been dutifully raised on the staple of scientific temper in a corrupt, chaotic political milieu. The simplistic, secular textbooks they have studied fail to contextualise Partition in a rational universe, leaving adequate room for the belief that Pakistan is neither a legitimate historical entity, nor a functioning nation. Here lie the roots of a common elite perception that India can emulate what Israel has done to the defenseless Palestine.
The West' concern for peace in South Asia is touching, particularly in view of the glorious opportunity it has always spotted and used here for the sale s of arms. Senior Dutch sociologist WF Wertheim has rightly bemoaned the absence of a peace economy in the lone superpower the world has now. If only rich countries would consider stopping the sale of expensive weapons to poor countries, they can bring about the stability and peace they love so much. It is the arms sold by the US, UK, Russia, France and a few others that have brutalised life across the Third World from Chile to Liberia to the
Philippines. Yet, for India and Pakistan, a phased disengagement with the arms trade offers the only realistic countdown to peace. 101.

Random­access memory (RAM ) is a form of computer data storage. A random­access memory device allows data items to be read and written in approximately the same amount of time, regardless of the order in which data items are accessed. In contrast, with other direct­access data storage media such as hard disks, CD­RWs, DVD­RWs and the older drum memory, the time required to read and write data items varies significantly depending on their physical locations on the recording medium, due to mechanical limitations such as media rotation speeds and arm movement delays.

Chariot Racing in Ancient History

...Chariot racing plays an important role in sports history. It was one of the most popular and influential sports in ancient history. The sport has many claimed origins and thrived during the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Empires. The sport that started out so simple evolved as it moved from one era to the next, gaining more importance at every advancement. It was an extremely dangerous sport, as drivers frequently suffered gruesome injuries and unfortunate deaths. Chariot racing teams, or factions, had a very strong fan base. These factions drew tons of spectator support, which would lead to many conflicts between differing factions. These conflicts were politicized, affecting both society and their respective empire. Roman and Byzantine emperors eventually took control of these factions and had their officials running them, placing even more importance on the sport. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, chariot racing only survived in the east, the Byzantine Empire. These Roman factions transitioned with the sport, which played an important role in the history of Byzantium. These factions had an even stronger social and political influence, and in the end, played a role in the demise of its own sport, along with the eventual demise of an empire. The origin of Chariot Racing is an unknown commodity. The first known reference to the sport was by Homer at a funeral for Patroclus where he claimed they raced only one lap around a tree.

...Name Instructor Course Date Ancient History The Funeral Oration This was a yearly occasion given to celebrate those who had kicked the bucket during the time in the administration of the Athenian military. According to Thucydides, the funeral oration expressed that democracy makes it for individuals to better themselves through merit instead of class or money. Pericles underlined the power of the people of Athens and particularly their ability to work amongst themselves for the improvement of the city by putting away their personal interests. He spoke about how the Athens city people worked for the betterment of the city, not due to force, but because of their true will. The funeral oration gives a mention about the Athenians where it talks about their willingness to give instead of receiving. Despite the fact that excluded with Thucydides' interpretation of Pericles' particular discourse, a rundown of all the fallen was typically recounted as a part of the discourse and the assemblages of the fallen were cleaned and put in plain view around a monstrous dedication to fallen Athenians before internment (Macve 130). Despite the fact that most of a sorrowful or deploring discourse, Pericles thought outside the box and endeavored to utilize the discourse to win the great graces of the general population by advancing his qualities and those of Athenian culture, tucked in the middle of his remembrance of the fighters and corruption of his adversaries. The move worked after...

...Poo Randomness means lack of pattern or predictability in events.[1] Randomness suggests a non-order or non-coherence in a sequence of symbols or steps, such that there is no intelligible pattern or combination. Applied usage in science, mathematics and statistics recognizes a lack of predictability when referring to randomness, but admits regularities in the occurrences of events whose outcomes are not certain. For example, when throwing two dice and counting the total, we can say that a sum of 7 will randomly occur twice as often as 4. This view, where randomness simply refers to situations where the certainty of the outcome is at issue, applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy. In these situations, randomness implies a measure of uncertainty, and notions of haphazardness are irrelevant. The fields of mathematics, probability, and statistics use formal definitions of randomness. In statistics, a random variable is an assignment of a numerical value to each possible outcome of an event space. This association facilitates the identification and the calculation of probabilities of the events. A random process is a sequence of random variables describing a process whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions. These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory. Randomness is often used in statistics to signify well-defined statistical properties. Monte Carlo methods...

...a common understanding that strong, effective leadership is essential in their success as an organization (“Leaders Are Made,” 2008). The performance of a company often rides on the many decisions the higher management or company leaders make. Company leaders, for example the chief executive officer, make crucial decisions that determines the direction the company is heading towards, whether resulting in its success or towards its demise. Hence strong leadership is often seen as a key, highly sought after asset in many corporations. Likewise, in ancient times, people have been in awe and in fear of certain great leaders. One good example would be Alexander the Great. He was the most celebrated member in his dynasty and created one of the largest empires in ancient history. Armed with a brilliant mind, he was undefeated in battle with his usage of superior tactics. Indeed, he was one of the most feared and respected leaders in history. The basic principles of leadership have been until recent times, discussed by many, but received no formal agreement on definition (Radman, 2007). Much focus has been placed on the leader’s personal characteristics of traits in the past to comprehend leadership success. Samson and Daft (2009, p. 557) define traits as “the distinguishing personal characteristics of a leader, such as intelligence, values and appearance”. The early findings emphasized on leaders who had achieved a level of success and hence, the findings were coined the Great Man...

The author wants to bring out the argument that new is not always perceived. The author of “Daisy Miller” Henry James wants to remind us of romantic stories that happened in the locations and also the history of the old countries and buildings where the actions of the novella take place, but he does it implicitly. For example, the places where Miss Miller and her family lived in: Rome and Geneve, the coliseum where Daisy’s encounter with Mr. Winterbourne takes place. All these places contain a huge history and different love stories which are somehow thematically and secretly connected to “Daisy Miller”. I would like to mention also the name selection for the main character Daisy Miller whose real name is Annie P. Miller.

ARGUEMENTS: When your invention was first made and how it was invented? Wikipedia (2010) stated according to archaeologists, the wheel was probably invented in around 8,000 B.C. in Asia. The oldest wheel known was discovered in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC. The early wheels were simple wooden disks with a hole for the axle. Ricky David (2009) stated that the wheel was created by 2 young male adults. It was said that they were rolling stones down a hill to see which one went faster. Then they found out that the stones that were round went faster. ThinkQuest (2000) researched that wheel were made by the Sumerians. It was made of planks of wood joined together. Firstly, a man placed rollers beneath heavy objects so that they could be moved easily. Then they improved it so it would be easy to load and drag. This was the invention of the sledge. After that they soon discovered that these deep grooves actually allowed the sledge to advance a greater distance before the next roller was needed to come on. Thus the rollers were changed into wheels. The wheel was furthered improved on later by the Egyptians, who made wheels with spokes, which could...
