...RAB NE BANA DI JODI (A match made by God) Runtime: 164min 4secs Tagline: There is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary Jodi. Language: Hindi Written & Directed by: Aditya Chopra Dialogues by: Jaideep Sahni Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for popular Indian culture. It has been an effective instrument for shaping and expressing popular Indian sentiment. Movies by Yash Raj studios, especially, have been the most widely distributed and well-received. Concepts of love, marriage, family, and a shallow look into a more meaningful existence, are those most frequently addressed by these films. Kitsch like this arises out of a failed attempt at art or simply because art has had to take a backseat to the more foreseeable advantages of a commercial undertaking like the movie to be analysed, ‘Rab ne bana di Jodi’. Synopsis Surinder Sahni (Shah Rukh Khan) works for Punjab Power and leads a simple life, until his simple life is turned around when he meets & instantly ends up in love with young & bubbly fun-loving Taani (Anushka Sharma) on the eve of her wedding. Tragedy strikes, however (predictably), and the unknown fiancé is killed en route in an accident. With the imminent death of her own father, as a result of the shock on hearing this devastating news, leaves Taani virtually numb to what’s going on around her because of which, when her father asks her to marry Suri, she doesn’t give it a second thought simply consenting to that promise, made by...

...Gem1050 Experiencing Bollywood Taking the escalator up to Bombay Talkies, located right smack in between City Hall and Bugis Mrt on the 2nd floor of Shaw Towers, is like entering a totally different realm of cinematic experience, one which is very different from the atmospheres experienced in mainstream Cinema theatres such Shaw, Golden Village and Cathay etc. What is interesting is that going to watch a Bollywood movie is not something spontaneous, but rather something that is pre-determined eons ago, where the movie watching activity is possibly the highlight of the day, and where the movie dates are set weeks in advance, just to ensure that every family member would be able to block the date out and be able to go for the movie with their family. As you walk in the cinema pass the glass doors, a strong Lassi smell pierces the air, accompanied quickly with the whiff of Indian snacks. This gives you a sensation as though you have teleported somewhere very culturally diverse, somewhere out of Singapore and possibly into a city in India. You’ll see friends and family congregating and chatting around the ticket counters, talking about anything from the latest family gossip to the current political and economical situation. Clad in their traditional attire from intricately made Sarees to colourful Punjabi costumes, it comes across as if they were told to look their best even though they are just going to be sitting down watching a movie for 3 hours in the complete darkness...

...Adjustment for me was never easy, since I was a child I made a lot of adjustments in myself, my surroundings how I should feel and think when some people are around or I am being threatened by other’s presence. Before I start my autobiography on how I made adjustments in my life let me define the word ”adjustment” first. According to my sources adjustment, in psychology, the behavioral process by which humans and other animals maintain equilibrium among their various needs or between their needs and the obstacles of their environments. A sequence of adjustment begins when a need is felt and ends when it is satisfied. Hungry people, for example, are stimulated by their physiological state to seek food. When they eat, they reduce the stimulating condition that impelled them to activity, and they are thereby adjusted to this particular need, or it Can be defined as the behavioral process of balancing conflicting needs, or needs against obstacles in the environment. Humans and animals regularly do this, for example, when they are stimulated by their physiological state to seek food, they eat (if possible) to reduce their hunger and thus adjust to the hunger stimulus. I learned that adjustment disorder occurs when there is an inability to make a normal adjustment to some need or stress in the environment. As far as I can remember, my first adjustment as a child was, when I was about 2 or 3 years old my father always goes to Palawan for a couple of days or weeks perhaps. When he...

...Solutions to Chapter 5 1. Explain the difference between connectionless unacknowledged service and connectionless acknowledged service. How do the protocols that provide these services differ? Solution: In an acknowledged connectionless network, reliable delivery can be achieved through the use of ACK and NAK transmissions. Such protocols are suited for communication over networks in which higher layers are sensitive to loss and the underlying network is inherently unreliable with a significant probability of loss or error. Unacknowledged networks provide simpler and faster communication for networks that are inherently reliable or provide service to higher layers that can tolerate information loss. 2. Explain the difference between connection-oriented acknowledged service and connectionless acknowledged service. How do the protocols that provide these services differ? Solution: The use of acknowledgments can provide reliable transfer over networks that are prone to error and loss. In connection oriented networks, every packet in a data flow travels on the same path through the network and the proper ordering of packets is guaranteed. In such networks, if a packet arrives out of order, the receiver immediately knows that a packet has been lost. In a connectionless network, the service needs a mechanism for dealing with unordered delivery of information. This is especially important for real-time or delay-sensitive traffic, which may require immediate retransmission and may not...

...Harvard Business School 9-693-019 Rev. September 5, 1995 Toyota Motor Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc. On the Friday before the running of the 118th Kentucky Derby, Doug Friesen, manager of assembly for Toyota’s Georgetown, Kentucky, Plant, was approaching the final assembly lines, where shiny Camrys took shape. He heard a cheer go up. Team members on the lines were waving their hand tools towards a signboard that read “no overtime for the shift.” Smiling broadly, Friesen agreed: everyone in the plant surely deserved a relaxed Derby weekend. The plant had been hectic lately, as it was both supplying brisk sales of the all-new Camry sedan and ramping up station wagon versions for the European as well as North American markets. Overtime also had been necessary early in the week to make up lost production because the line utilization rate was below the projected target. In addition to these immediate problems, a growing number of cars were sitting off the line with defective seats or with no seats at all. The seat problem had been the subject of an urgent meeting called by Mike DaPrile, general manager of the assembly plant, that morning, May 1, 1992. At the meeting, Friesen learned of the situation firsthand from key people in both the plant and the seat supplier. He then spent the afternoon on the shop floor to learn more about the problem while the issues discussed were fresh in his mind. By the end of the day, it became clear to Friesen that the seat problem needed solving...

...CHAPTER 1 PROBLEMS 1. Q: What is the role of middleware in a distributed system? A: To enhance the distribution transparency that is missing in network operating systems. In other words, middleware aims at improving the single-system view that a distributed system should have. 2. Q: Explain what is meant by (distribution) transparency, and give examples of different types of transparency. A: Distribution transparency is the phenomenon by which distribution aspects in a system are hidden from users and applications. Examples include access transparency, location transparency, migration transparency, relocation transparency, replication transparency, concurrency transparency, failure transparency, and persistence transparency. 3. Q: Why is it sometimes so hard to hide the occurrence and recovery from failures in a distributed system? A: It is generally impossible to detect whether a server is actually down, or that it is simply slow in responding. Consequently, a system may have to report that a service is not available, although, in fact, the server is just slow. 4. Q: Why is it not always a good idea to aim at implementing the highest degree of transparency possible? A: Aiming at the highest degree of transparency may lead to a considerable loss of performance that users are not willing to accept. 5. Q: What is an open distributed system and what benefits does openness provide? A: An open distributed system offers services according to clearly defined rules. An open...

QUESTION 4 28 5. QUESTION 5 36 6. REFERENCES 45 7. APPENDIXTURE 48 1. QUESTION 1 a) Explain the processes which lead to electrical breakdown of air by the streamer mechanism. Your explanation should include a discussion of the influence of pressure, gap length and electric field uniformity The concept of streamer type of breakdown is based on the Townsend type breakdown, which requires a complete sequence of avalanches [2]. According to Reather, the streamer type of breakdown differs from the latter because it assumes that the growth of a single electron avalanche becomes unstable. The original criterion by Reather only addressed the primary ionization processes, i.e. electron collision. With increased understanding of electron processes the role of attachment became apparent and the criterion was modified to the following equation: oxα-ηdx=18 (1) Simultaneous with Raether’s work, Meek. identified the Streamer mechanism and formulated the following breakdown criterion: According to Meek the instability is caused by the space charge field from the electrons and ions in the head of an avalanche. The breakdown occurs when the space...
