The machines are getting to be more vigorous, with the potential to sustain heavier payloads for extensive flight periods. As with the increasing interest as well as the potential for these tools to tackle novel areas of requests, it is important to address on the civil uses of drones. Thus, among this uses they do comprise of the agricultural sector. Basing on various researches conducted by the “Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International” the news suggested that. The agricultural use of drones could involve 70% of the market. The explanation pointed out for this comprised of the desire to monitor crops strictly so as to enhance supervision along with the yields.

...NOVELS What is strange is that this prejudice against novel reading has persisted, to some extent, even in the modern world including India which has borrowed the novel form from the West. Students, particularly, are not encouraged to read novels. Parents and teachers seem to think that youngsters read fiction mainly to kill time, are likely to get addicted to it as to a drug, and derive from it a pleasure which makes them reluctant to apply themselves to serious study. It must be admitted that this prejudice is justified, as far as bad novels are concerned. Today the railway book stalls and circulating libraries are flooded with detective novels, crime fiction and thrillers. The appeal of the majority of such novels is based on plot, usually absurd and improbable, and the excitement of the lower human instincts. They are totally devoid of characterization, insight into human nature, and significance. Reading such novels is not only a waste of time but exposing oneself to dangerous influences. Of course, there are some good detective novels such as those by Canon Doyle and there can be no objection to reading some of them, but it should be realised that the value of even good detective novels is that of entertainment, and that they do not contribute to understanding of life. But what objection can there be to reading good novels? The novel today is an important form of literature, and several distinguished writers like Tolstoy, Wells, E. M. Forster, William Golding and Lawrence...

...Assignment #3 Analysis of “The Alchemist” Final draft The Alchemist is a brilliant novel by the great Brazilian author “Paulo Coelho’. This novel tells the story of a young shepherd called Santiago who lives alone with his herd of sheep. He travels from one place to the other, meeting new people and exploring new things. In one of his journeys, he meets an old woman who has the ability of foretelling the future. This woman tells him that there is a treasure that is waiting for him. After this, the young shepherd keeps looking for this treasure by travelling through different countries and learning about various traditions. During his journey for the treasure, he falls in love with an Arabian girl called Fatima and she also taught him a lot of new things. Finally, he arrives at the place where the treasure is supposed to be, in Egypt. Surprisingly, he does not find any treasure! Taking a closer look at this novel, naturally the reader would question the reason behind going through all of these obstacles in the novel, when the shepherd ends up without the treasure. Is the author’s intention to provide the reader with entertainment and suspense? Or is it just an open end for this book, with the aim that the young shepherd finds the treasure in part two of the book? The answer to these questions is that the author’s intention is neither to develop suspense for the reader so he could be entertained, nor to make the reader himself searches for the treasure in another part...

...Oz is a graphic novel written by Sean Patrick O’Reilly and Erik Hendrix. I really enjoyed reading The Steam Engines of Oz. I think that the use of graphic novels in a student’s curriculum is important and should be increased. They can be more interesting and amusing than the content in a standard curriculum; they are educational because they teach students a different form of literature, and they also differ from basic novels because they can help students visualize the story through illustrations. A standard curriculum usually consists of novels and genres that some students might consider tedious or repetitive. Graphic novels can be used as a “break” from the otherwise tedious genres in a curriculum. Graphic novels...

...illustrations and text on the novel’s cover I will show that this novel is ambiguous and purposefully implies very little about the novel, as it was published to be a ‘discardable’ work of fiction, marketed for a mass audience. The front cover of Oryx and Crake is a large image of a girl with green eyes. Green foliage and a large purple flower camouflage most of the girl’s face so the most visible portion of the girl is her eyes that are bulging as if she has been shocked. The placement of the flower makes it seem as if it is silencing her. The back cover is fairly simple. It is yellow and has text about the book, with a smaller image of the purple...

...the fact that the novel strayed from its central focus: the relationship between Huck and Jim. She also argues that the novel had a weak beginning as well as a weak ending and that the author did not really know the actual meaning of racism, and due to this, the novel had no deep meaning. Lastly, Smiley argues that a better novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, should be considered a greater novel than Huckleberry Finn because it carries better propaganda and holds better messages of racism. Questions 1. Literal- Is Smiley’s thesis clearly stated in the essay? If so, where is it and what is it? 2. Literal- What novel does Smiley contrast Huckleberry Finn to? Why does she say that it is a better novel? 3. Interpretive- Huck is supposed to be the hero of the story. What major aspect of the novel demonstrates that the novel is another failure because Huck was not emphasized as a hero? 4. Interpretive- What characteristics of the character Jim make him inferior in the novel, according to Smiley? 5. Evaluative- Early in the essay, Smiley says that she isn’t criticizing the character Huck, but do you think that is true? Isn’t because of Huck that Jim is seen as inferior? 6. Evaluative- What are some notable omissions/shortcomings in Smiley’s arguments? What does she leave out that decreases her credibility? Significant Quotation and Why “Jim is never autonomous, never has a vote, always finds his purposes subordinate to Huck’s, and, like every good sidekick, he never...

... To fund its cash guzzling FMCG start-up, the company is still dependant upon its tobacco revenues. Cigarettes account for 47 per cent of the company's turnover, and that in itself is responsible for 80% of its profits. So there is an argument that ITC's move into FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) is being subsidised by its tobacco operations. Its Gold Flake tobacco brand is the largest FMCG brand in India - and this single brand alone hold 70% of the tobacco market. Opportunities Core brands such as Aashirvaad, Mint-o, Bingo! And Sun Feast (and others) can be developed using strategies of market development, product development and marketing penetration. ITC is moving into new and emerging sectors including Information Technology, supporting business solutions. e-Choupal is a community of practice that links rural Indian farmers using the Internet. This is an original and well thought of initiative that could be used in other sectors in many other parts of the world. It is also an ambitious project that has a goal of reaching 10 million farmers in 100,000 villages. Take a look at eChoupal here http://www.itcportal.com/agri_exports/e-choupal_new.htm ITC leverages e-Choupal in a novel way.

...The published review I read was John Green’s review in the New York Times newspaper. In the review, John Green talked about Markus Zusak's amazing style of writing. I agree with his review due to the fact that Markus Zusak used descriptive words that created brilliant passages which allows the readers to visualize what is occurring in the novel. Many authors do not have this creative ability to attract a reader’s perspective in the novel. “People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it’s quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them” (Page 4, Zusak). This line is one of the many examples of creative writing in the The Book Thief. This line portrays Zusak’s creativity and this is one of the many things he...

...I have to admit, going shopping for books can definitely be entertaining, but I must also confess that when it comes to buying books, I am a little bias toward novels with pretty pictures on the cover. Maybe it is because in today’s society we are taught to judge everything by appearance, but maybe it is really because growing up my dad read me books with lots of colorful images before bedtime and usually the prettier the pictures in the story the better it was. In books for younger kids most books contain extravagant images accompanied by a few simple words. The artist’s job for children’s books is, in my opinion, is more important than the author’s. I relied on the artist to tell the story, like Mozart relied solely on music to get across his story. When I started to move on to chapter books such as the Cam Jansen series, I would flip through the book, letting the pages fly underneath my thumb, and be disappointed at the lack of color. Not a single picture appeared. I thought that it was the worst thing in the world because it meant from then on I would be forced to read dull pages. Contrary to my initial thoughts, when I cracked open that first book I was unable to put it down until I finished. I was amazed at how I had just seen into another person’s mind and lived with a different identity for that hour. I was no longer Sam Maxwell, I was Cam Jansen the crime solver. I had my own private movie showing in my head. I read lots of Cam Jansen books following the first one and...

...important that everyday we try and evaluate decisions that benefit us, as well others. Innocence is something we are born with and can be defined as freedom from sin, moral wrong, lack of purity or corruption. However, things that we possess can also be lost and or taken away including our innocence. A novel that demonstrates a vast loss of innocence is in Lord of the Flies written by William Goulding. Innocence in the novel is present in many of the characters but slowly begins to deteriorate over time due to the lack of maturity and discipline from their lives, which is replaced with violence and savagery....

...According to Steph Cha, a Los Angeles Times writer, the novel All the Light We Cannot See, “required a lot of work to rise above emotional manipulation” (Cha 1). Cha explains why he describes the novel this way is because it is written about two characters with heartbreaking backstories during a hardship of World War II. Cha acknowledges one of Anthony Doerr, author of the novel, strengths of how his book captured, ‘‘reflections on the meaning of life, the universe and everything” (Cha 2). This can be difficult to achieve because it only has one theme. Cha describes Werner (the orphan boy) as the “most compelling part of the book” (Cha 8). Because his characteristics in the novel makes him more complex compared to the other characters, it is difficult to be defined as either “good or bad.” (Cha 9)....

...Summary of Silas Marner by George Eliot Silas Marner, a weaver, is an eager and promising young member of a Puritan religious community, Lantern Yard. Marner's supposed best friend, Willam Dane, frames him for the theft of a pouch of coins. Marner suffers from cataleptic fits which leave him as insensible as stone and vulnerable to Dane's frame-up. The community of Lantern Yard draws lots to determine Marner's guilt or innocence in the crime. After the lots proclaim Marner guilty, he flees from Lantern Yard, utterly crushed, leaving behind his faith in God and in humankind. Marner eventually settles at the outskirts of Raveloe, a provincial village in the English Midlands. The villagers appreciate Marner's trade but find him strange and unapproachable. Marner seems to have supernatural powers--he is able to heal a local woman using herbal arts he learned from his mother--but the villagers of Raveloe do not know his background and thus find his knowledge diabolical and threatening. Marner, for his part, is content to live a life of almost total solitude in his simple cottage beside the Stone-pits. Marner has one joy in life: gold. The gold coins that he earns at his loom represent for him all the meaning that he has lost, and the faces printed on the coins serve as his only company. He spends as little as he can in order to save more coins, which he hides in two leather bags in a hole in his cottage floor. Meanwhile, Raveloe is the home of other wealthy citizens. Its...
