Friendship Day History There is not much literature on Friendship Day history as we celebrate today. However, there are numerous folktales and several instance in mythological legends that shows that friends and friendship have been valued since the beginning of civilized world. As an intrinsically social creature, men love to make friends to further this process of socialization. History of Friendship Day in US Considering the valuable role friends play in our life it was deemed to fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship. The United States Congress, in 1935, proclaimed first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. Since then, celebration of National Friendship Day became an annual event. The noble idea of honoring the beautiful relationship of friendship caught on with the people and soon Friendship Day became a hugely popular festival. Following the popularity and success of Friendship Day in US, several other countries adopted the tradition of dedicating...

Scientific meaningof Gaytri Mantra Scientific meaning of the Gaytri Mantra Gayatri mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma.This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas. "Om-bhur bhuvah swah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya dheemahi; Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. " The literal meaning of the mantra: O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all Light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction. The mantra, however, has a great scientific importance too, which somehow got lost in the literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains approximately 100,000 million of stars. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system. We know that the moon move...

True love is posted in so many ways that some people get confused about what true love is. But yet every one has there own opinion about what they feel true love is. You can sit there and say oh my god I love chocolate but does that mean you love chocolate like you would love your mother or father and does this mean that when you love your mother or father it’s the same as loving your boyfriend/girlfriend or even your husband? Love is put out there in so many ways. You can love your favorite toy, or your favorite book, or even your favorite food but when you love a person it changes completely. Some people find true love in how the person looks, sometimes true love is found in how much money that person holds in there wallet, and sometimes true love is so blind that your heart leads you towards them and not your mind. But what does true love mean to me? True love is a state of being it’s a feeling that you feel towards a person that has been there for you every second that you need...

The Atomic Bomb August 9, 1945 The picture was taken from one of the B-29 Superfortresses used in the attack on Nagasaki. The Fat Man mushroom cloud resulting from the nuclear explosion rises 18 km from the point of impact. Over 50 million people died in the Second World war, but, the atomic bomb left humanity fearing the next world war could be utterly devastating. From a single bomb, over 150,000 people died at Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki. Hindenburg Burning 1937 Zeppelin LZ-129 Hindenburg, shortly after catching fire on May 6, 1937 at Lakehurst Naval Air Station. The Hindenburg was not the first rigid airship to crash, but the widespread media coverage and spectacular photos, such as this, led to the end of hydrogen airships as a means of transport. The media coverage was heightened by live commentary by Herbert Morrison, describing the events, as broadcasted to WLS radio. "Oh, the humanity!" The crash also became symbolic of twentieth century disasters w...

There are many people who inspire me from various walks of life. Some are famous people who have changed the world for the better. Others reflect a more personal choice. If you would like to suggest people who have inspired you, please leave a comment at - People who Inspire You. Mikhail Gorbachev. I feel that it was the vision and determination of Mikhail Gorbachev which brought a peaceful end to the Cold War, and a relatively peaceful end to the totalitarian Communist states in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It is one thing to believe in democracy, personal liberty and freedom of choice when you already live in a democracy. It is another to give up power, admit mistakes and bring about the necessary changes against powerful forces of opposition. When Gorbachev was elected Party Chairman in the early 1980s, there was nothing to suggest he would be any different to the previous leaders of the Soviet Union. Few, if any could have predicted within ten years, the collapse of Co...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has built a supercomputer, which is to be India’s fastest supercomputer in terms of theoretical peak performance of 220 teraflops (220 trillion floating point operations per second). The new Graphic Processing Unit (GPU)-based supercomputer named SAGA-220 or Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 teraflops will be used by space scientists for solving complex aerospace problems. ISRO spokesperson S Satish said the supercomputer would ensure calculations took place in less time. “It would really be of great use when we will start testing our advanced vehicles like Mark III. It will drastically increase speed of calculation and we can also evaluate more parameters,” he said. ISRO’s existing supercomputer is only 70 teraflops, whereas this supercomputer can be ramped much higher than 220 teraflops. According to ISRO, the present GPU system offers significant advantage over the conventional CPU-based system in terms of cost,...

• the role of the data link layer, • Three common error detection and correction methods. • two basic approaches to controlling access to the media, • common sources of error and its prevention, • Several commonly used data link protocols. INTRODUCTION The data link layer sits between the physical layer and the network layer. The data link layer accepts messages from the network layer and controls the hardware that actually transmits them. Both the sender and receiver have to agree on the rules or protocols that govern how their data link layers will communicate with each other. Introduction A data link protocol provides three functions: • Controls when computers transmit (media access control). • Detects and corrects transmission errors (error control). • Identifies the start and end of a message (message delineation). MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL Media access control (MAC) refers to the need to control when devices transmit. MAC becomes important when several computers share ...

Contents • 1 Introduction • 2 Error Control • 3 Flow Control • 4 MAC • 5 Problems • 6 Further reading Introduction Data link layer is layer 2 in OSI model. It is responsible for communications between adjacent network nodes.It handles the data moving in and out across the physical layer. It also provides a well defined service to the network layer. Data link layer is divided into two sub layers. The Media Access Control (MAC) and Logical Link Control (LLC). Data-Link layer ensures that an initial connection has been set up, divides output data into data frames, and handles the acknowledgements from a receiver that the data arrived successfully. It also ensures that incoming data has been received successfully by analyzing bit patterns at special places in the frames. In the following sections datalink layer's functions- Error control and Flow control has been discussed. After that MAC layer is explained. Multiple access protocols are explained in the MAC layer section. ...

I close my eyes and allow myself to connect to the Divine within. I affirm that within this inner presence are all the answers I need. I allow the truth contained within to saturate my being until I am filled with truth. I imagine myself going through my day stopping often to connect to the Divine wisdom within me. I see myself using this inner wisdom in everything I do. In my mind's eye I see myself making wise decisions and sharing this inner wisdom with others. I imagine myself experiencing the confidence that comes from having access to the wisdom of the universe. I combine these images with the feelings of joy and let them go, knowing that they will create the good things I am visualizing and thinking.

Data Link Layer has number of specific functions to carryout. These functions include:- 1. Providing a well defined service interface to the Network Layer. 2. Determining how the bits of the Physical Layer are grouped into frames. 3. Dealing with transmission errors. 4. Regulating the flow of frames so that slow receiver are not overcome by a fast sender. Services provided to the Network Layer The function of the Data Link Layer is to provide services to the Network Layer. The principle service is transferring data from the Network Layer on the source machine to the Network Layer on the destination machine. On the source machine there is an entity or a process, in the Network Layer that transfers some bits to the Data Link Layer for transmission to the destination machine. The job of the Data Link Layer is to transmit the bits to the destination machine so that they can be handled over, to the Network Layer. The Data Link Layer can be designed to offer various se...
