The war between Caesar and Pompey was one of the defining moments in Roman history. The clash between these great generals gripped the attention of their contemporaries and it has fascinated historians ever since. These powerful men were among the dominant personalities of their age, and their struggle for supremacy divided Rome. In this original and perceptive study Nic Fields explores the complex, often brutal world of Roman politics and the lethal rivalry of Caesar and Pompey that grew out of it. He reconsiders them as individuals and politicians and, above all, as soldiers. His highly readable account of this contest for power gives a vivid insight into the rise and fall of two of the greatest warlords of the ancient world.
Although Marcus Junius Brutus is one of the most famous, or infamous, conspirators of Rome and the ancient world, if not of all time, knowledge of this historical figure has principally been passed to the modern world through the literary medium of Shakespeare's tragedy, Julius Caesar. Furthermore, any interest in Brutus has tended to focus only on events surrounding his most legendary act, Caesar's murder. This biography instead considers Brutus in his historical context, gathering details from ancient evidence and piecing together, as far as possible, his whole life. While his actions played a pivotal role in Roman history, ultimately, although completely unintentionally, bringing about the downfall of the Roman republic, Brutus has often been neglected. Indeed, he has rarely been considered on his own merits, instead featuring as part of the biographies and studies of other leading political figures of the time, especially those of Julius Caesar, Cicero and Octavian. As the first dedicated biography in over 30 years, this full and balanced reconsideration of this significant Roman republican is long overdue.
The book "Role of ICT in Academic Libraries" is designed for educators who are currently working with or who would like to know more about, information and communication technologies in libraries. However, this book is not primarily about hardware (the term applied to computers and all the connecting devices like scanners ,modems ,telephones and satellites that are tools for information processing and communicating across the globe); it is about teaching, and, more particularly, learning, and the way that all these technologies that we group under the acronym ICT can transform libraries.
The primary intention of this publication is to assess and describe the need for introducing vocational education with a little more seriousness than ever before and to suggest ideas for establishing a vocational university with a difference. The idea is also to summarize the present technical and vocational education scenario and its problems. I also intend to hint upon some recommendation for policies to be implemented at state level and suggest possible measures to make vocational courses more relevant to the need of the time. A comparative study has been attempted between regular vocational programs and social fairness and job reliability and its effect in building up the career of the present-generation youngsters. Ive also tried to focus on the initiatives, challenges, and the process of implementation of various projects and schemes undertaken by the government at different times in a bid to enhance employability. The objective is to explore into the output and its impact on the workforce plus the growth and development of the country. This book should form an interesting reading for those who are curious about an individuals potential strength and are engrossed in innovative projects particularly teachers, researchers, and administrators.
Gravity is the weakest of the natural forces and yet it dominates our lives. We know how to make use of its properties and how to overcome it. But we can’t control it. To do that we must be able to generate and control gravity’s hidden companion force field, called gravitomagnetism. Mass is the source of gravity fields.
The literature on Balaghah (the art of Arabic eloquence) and commentaries on the Qurān stress that the style of the Qurān is beautiful, eloquent and inimitable. This literature identifies word order as one of the most distinctive aspects of Qurānic style. One of the main reasons for this is that, compared to English, Arabic has fewer restrictions on word order, thanks to its elaborate verb inflection system and case marking. This flexibility allows for the foregrounding of some elements within the sentence, resulting in a marked (or non-canonical) word order and fulfilling certain discursive functions, including specification, restriction, emphasis, amplification/ glorification, and denial. Marked word order is used to highlight or downplay certain elements in speech or writing. It constitutes one way of delivering meanings to the addressee, as these meanings are ordered in the mind of the speaker in terms of their importance, making the style a precise reflection of the speaker’s mind and feelings. This book is a descriptive study which attempts to examine how translations of the Qurān have handled āyahs (verses of the Qurān) that feature lexical foregrounding, focusing on ten published translations into English, carried out by translators from different ideological and linguistic backgrounds. It offers a systematic comparison of the ways in which the selected translators deal with the linguistic feature of word order variation, and examines issues relating to the translator’s style. Specifically, the book identifies and examines the following: instances of marked word order discussed by commentators on the Qurān, and the function served by each case of lexical foregrounding; secondly, the options and/or patterns employed by translators to render the different functions of marked word order; thirdly, the recurrent options and/or patterns for rendering different types of word order variation. Finally, the book explores the factors which may have influenced the choice of particular strategies by different translators, including the translators’ motivations and the various historical contexts in which the translations were made.

About the Book: Tobacco (Nicotiana sp.), an industrial and valuable 'cash-crop', is a major economic-force in >125 countries. These plants generate enormous economic benefits in terms of farm-income, revenue-generation and foreign exchange earnings. However, being constantly under radar by FDA and various health authorities due to ever increasing environmental and health concerns, future of tobacco seems to be in jeopardy. Traditionally, tobacco is grown and processed into various 'smoke' and 'smoke-less' products. The chemistry, biology & pharmacological properties of these metabolites has been exploited as a promising & high-value alternative source in enormous commercial applications (viz. food, feed, bio-fuel, paper, particle-board, toiletries and personal-care products etc. Besides, due to its inherent potential, tobacco also has an incredible history to utilize as an efficient 'bio-factory' for the production of numerous foreign bio-actives having implications in agricultural, cosmetics, fragrance, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. Overall, the unconventional beneficial use of tobacco seems to be endless. Realizing these facts, alternative uses of tobacco have gained considerable momentum to sustain the crop for non-conventional and economic-viable options in recent times.

Regions. How they emerge and how they are dramatically changing the appearance of the present 'world of states' and its related forms of governance from local to global levels is analysed in this monograph. But what are regions? Regions can be small or huge. They can be part of a single state, be composed out of different states or stretched out across borders. They can be important recognized economic, social or cultural entities or they can be largely ignored by the people who live on a region's territory. They can be well-defined with clear cut boundaries as is the case in so-called 'constitutional regions' or they can be fuzzy as for instance in cross-border regions. In sum, they are not a natural kind and defining regions is not a simple task. Luk Van Langenhove advances the concept of region building as an alternative to the construction of regions with three issues of region building being explored: - Why are regions built in a world of states? - How do region building processes take place? - How are regions transforming the present world order? Crossing disciplinary boundaries, this book is an exercise in theorizing regions and brings together under one conceptual framework, different processes and concepts such as regional integration, devolution, federalism, and separatism and refines the social constructionist view on regions
A fascinating look at how Boston became and remains a global center for innovation--told through 50 world-changing inventions. “Robert Krim is a long-time champion of the Boston area’s history of innovation, finding remarkable examples of ingenuity and creativity going back centuries and continuing today. He shows how a culture of innovation can make a small place a beacon of hope for the world, by developing the fresh ideas and useful discoveries that make a difference in every part of life.” —Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School professor and author of Think Outside the Building: How Advanced Leaders Can Change the World One Smart Innovation at a Time Since the 1600s, Boston has been at the forefront of world-changing innovation from starting the country's first public school to becoming the first state to end slavery and giving birth to the telephone. Boston was the site of the first organ transplant and more recent medical and biotech breakthroughs that have saved the lives of thousands. That's not to mention pioneering advances in everything from rockets to robotics. In total, Boston-area inventors have contributed more than four hundred stand-out social, scientific, and commercial innovations and uncounted numbers that are less well known. Boston Made tells the absorbing stories of 50 of these - and why they are no accident. In fact, fresh waves of innovation have brought the city back from four major economic collapses. Dr. Robert Krim lays out a set of "innovation drivers," including strong entrepreneurship, local funding, and networking. From boom to decline and back to boom, Boston has maintained an ability to reinvent, and build anew. Dr. Krim with technologist Alan Earls have developed and outlined a new interpretation of how a resilient city has flourished. At a time when the national and global economy is reeling from pandemic shockwaves, the authors have laid out what a dynamic world-class city has done in the face of adversity to find a fresh and successful path forward.

The Illegal City explores the relationship between space, law and gendered subjectivity through a close look at an 'illegal' squatter settlement in Delhi. Since 2000, a series of judicial rulings in India have criminalised squatters as 'illegal' citizens, 'encroachers' and 'pickpockets' of urban land, and have led to a spate of slum demolitions across the country. This book argues that in this context, it has become vital to distinguish between illegality and informality since it is those 'illegal' slums which are at the receiving end of a 'force of law', where law is violently encountered within everyday spaces. This book uses a gendered intersectional lens to explore how a 'violence of law' shapes how 'public' subjectivities of gender, class, religion and caste are encountered and negotiated within the 'private' spaces of home, family and neighbourhood. This book suggests that resettlement is not a condition that squatters desire; rather something that is seen as the only way out of the 'illegal' city. The wait for resettlement is a temporal space of anxiety and uncertainty, where particular kinds of politics around law, space and gender takes shape, which transform squatters' relations with the state, urban development, civil society, and with each other. Through their everyday struggles around water, sanitation, social and political organisation and the transformation of their homes and families, this book shows that the desire for the 'legal city' is also the irony and utopia of home, which will remain an incomplete gendered project - both for the state and for squatters.

Inclusive Development and Good governance have already occupied the centre-stage of Policy discourses today. The present book studies the functioning of the Panchayati Raj System in the context of good governance and inclusive development. The empirical research that the book undertakes neither romanticises nor rejects the PRIs. It analyses the power equations, struggles and various forms of marginalisation and deprivation in the rural areas . The economically exploited and the socially deprived have a stake in the democratic space created by the PRIs. The silent revolution brought about by the PRIs challenges the unequal power structure and relations in many ways. The project of Inclusive Development and of Good Governance is simply not possible without meaningful and effective participation of the marginalised in the democratic process through the PRIs. The Ruling class and their allies in rural areas are active in preventing the marginalised from occupying the democratic spaces in real terms. The study of this dynamics of rural areas is crucial to developing policies in favour of the marginalised. The Neo-liberal paradigm of development, with its centralising character, defeats inclusive development through democratic decentralisation.What this book sets out to advocate is deepening of democracy in rural areas.
In this digital age, having access to knowledge is becoming more and more crucial. Threats to network security, hacks, data breaches, and cyberattacks are on the rise as organizations use their network services to access more important information. For a firm to succeed, information security is essential. Because of this, cybersecurity is a major concern. Network security technologies ensure authorized users have access to your data so they can carry out their activities efficiently while safeguarding it from intrusions. Computer network security is made up of several cybersecurity components, such as a range of tools, settings, and programs that are intended to safeguard the integrity of your network against unauthorized usage. Attacks on the security of a network can take many different shapes and come from many places. Technologies for network security are designed to focus on certain threats while avoiding interruption or harm to your network's core architecture. In order to prevent unauthorized access, modification, abuse, or manipulation of a computer, etc., effective network security serves as a gatekeeper. You and your business may maintain a safe and trustworthy working environment by being aware of the principles of internet security. This chapter will define network security, explore its significance for your firm, and go through the many forms of network security that may be applicable to you. First, let's take a look at networks again. Simply described, a computer network is a group of computers that are linked together in some way. That is used on a regular basis to facilitate corporate and governmental contacts. Computers used by individual users make up the "client" terminals (also known as "nodes") in these networks, together with one or more "servers" and/or "host" computers. Communication systems connect them; some of these systems may be restricted to internal use within an organization, while others may be accessible to the general public. While the Internet is the most well known example of a publicly available network system, numerous private networks 1 | P a ge also make use of publicly accessible communications. Most businesses now have servers that staff members can log into from anywhere with an internet connection, whether they are at the office, at home, or on the road. Therefore, safety is very important. Let's get a handle on Network Security as a concept. Network security refers to the precautions an organization takes to keep its computer system safe, and it is of paramount importance for any business that relies on technology. If the security of a network is breached, unauthorized users, such as hackers or even competitors, might potentially obtain access to sensitive information, leading to data loss or even system damage. The term "network security" refers to the measures taken by businesses, government agencies, and other entities to ensure that their networks are secure. Threats, risks, and vulnerabilities must be identified, and the best methods for mitigating them must be selected, for a network security plan to be successful. Prevention of network failure, abuse, corruption, alteration, intrusion, etc. is made possible by network security measures. Even if you believe your data is secure when posting it to the internet, hackers may be able to access it and use it to commit identity theft or financial fraud. Because of this, protecting your network is crucial. An important aspect of cyber security is network security, which safeguards your network and the information it contains against threats such as hacking, malware, and unauthorized access to hardware and software. Threats, network use, accessibility, and comprehensive threat security all inform what constitutes a "secure" network and its accompanying laws, regulations, and settings.
Education is a vital part of growing up. Everyone goes through the education system to help carve a path towards their future self and what career they want to focus on as they get older. However, what most people become confused on is the difference between “general education” and “special education.” General education is the education provided to students who physically attend school. Now, special education is the education provided by the school plus extra programs and services to help aid and guide the students through the general education. Special Education is defined as, “the means through which children who have disabilities receive an education specifically designed to help them reach their learning potential” (Friend, ).ICT in education is becoming increasigly important and has potential advantages to disabled learners if the technolgies are appropriately designed, including for accessibility and usability, and used. This paper presents the first sets of recommendations for learning technologies for disabled people aimed at disabled learners, teachers, developers and educational institutions respectively. They were developed as part of the work of the Enable Network for ICT Learning for Disabled People and involved input from both experts and end-users. The concise format facilitates production in a variety of formats and languages for accessibility and wide distribution. The paper discusses the recommendations and their relationship to existing guidelines. The results indicated that these students felt ready to use the technology resources in their studies. However, they did not receive support by the teachers and they noticed differences in approach, depending on the stage of the educational course and the type of disability. This book has been written for the education of Divyang people on ICT and communication, which includes the use of ICT in their education, what is the use of ICT, what is the importance of ICT, how can it contribute, how can we help Divyang people to become self-dpendent, authors are publishing articles on various aspects in it, which will not only help in bringing fundamental changes in the education of Divyangs, but also in their lives, so that not only India, but the interest towards ICT will come from it, how can we simplify and improve our education, various people have given their views.
In Indic religious traditions, a number of rituals and myths exist in which the environment is revered. Despite this nature worship in India, its natural resources are under heavy pressure with its growing economy and exploding population. This has led several scholars to raise questions about the role religious communities can play in environmentalism. Does nature worship inspire Hindus to act in an environmentally conscious way? This book explores the above questions with three communities, the Swadhyaya movement, the Bishnoi, and the Bhil communities. Presenting the texts of Bishnois, their environmental history, and their contemporary activism; investigating the Swadhyaya movement from an ecological perspective; and exploring the Bhil communities and their Sacred Groves, this book applies a non-Western hermeneutical model to interpret the religious traditions of Indic communities. With a foreword by Roger S Gottlieb.
Email classification is improved by using an effective classification technique that alleviates the issue of email classification and enhances its effectiveness. Text classification and multi-class classifiers are used to classify the classes, which are then tested using a data mining tool for accuracy. This book discusses different types of email spam classifications. Email text messages must be classified effectively in order to alleviate this problem. In this book, the goal is to improve the accuracy of email classification. We observe that the multi-objective function based on the email classification is more accurate than a single objective function.
The earliest completed code of the British army dates back to the 14th century when the “Statutes, Ordinances and Customs” were issued by Richard II to his Army in 1385 on the occasion of war with France. These statutes called “Articles” or “Ordinances of War” were issued under the prerogative power of the Crown. The earlier Articles were of excessive severity prescribing death or loss of limb as punishment for almost every crime. There were thousands of instances of accused native soldiers being blown from a gun on the orders of their commander. As minor punishment, an accused could be branded with hot iron for swearing. He could even be flogged in public or ordered to ride the wooden horse. This book provides an insight into the origin and development of the legal system of the Indian Army from the year 1600 to 1947 including that of the Navy and Air Force. A total of 40 statutes passed by the British Parliament and the Articles of War issued by the Crown for governing the military forces during that period have been included. This book is for military historians, military personnel, military lawyers, academics, journalists, and those with an interest or professional involvement in the subject.
