Week 3







1.Journal and Magazine


A journal


(through French from late Latin diurnalis, daily) has several related meanings:
a daily record of events or business; a private journal is usually referred to as a diary.
a newspaper or other periodical, in the literal sense of one published each day;
many publications issued at stated intervals, such as magazines, or scholarly academic journals, or the record of the transactions of a society, are often called journals. Although journal is sometimes used, erroneously, as a synonym for "magazine," in academic use, a journal refers to a serious, scholarly publication, most often peer-reviewed. A non-scholarly magazine written for an educated audience about an industry or an area of professional activity is usually called a professional magazine.
The word "journalist" for one whose business is writing for the public press has been in use since the end of the 17th century


Magazines,


periodicals, glossies or serials are publications, generally published on a regular schedule, containing a variety of articles, generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by pre-paid magazine subscriptions, or all three. Magazines can be distributed through the mail; through sales by newsstands, bookstores or other vendors; or through free distribution at selected pick up locations.


2.DC and LC classification
There are three attacks known that can break the full sixteen rounds of DES with less complexity than a brute-force search: differential cryptanalysis (DC), linear cryptanalysis (LC), and Davies' attack. However, the attacks are theoretical and are unfeasible to mount in practice; these types of attack are sometimes termed certificational weaknesses.
3. Access the Library webside,What is the call number
defines a single set of user APIs for all RDMA-capable transports. The uDAPL mission is to define a transport independent and platform standard set of APIs that exploit RDMA capabilities, such as those present in IB, VI, and ROI WG of IETF.
A call number
is a group of numbers and/or letters
put together to tell you
where in the library
to find your book.
A call number is located
at the bottom of the book on the spine.
It helps you to find your books quicker.
Once you've got your call number
from the card catalog,
it's time to go find your book!
This is where a
call number is located.
4.what are sources of knowlage? Identify as much as you know?
Inspiration, revelation, insight, intuition, ecstasy, divine sight and the supreme, blissful state are the seven planes of knowledge. There are four sources of knowledge: instinct, reason, intuition, and direct knowledge of Brahman (God) or Brahma-Jnana (knowledge of God).
InstinctWhen an ant crawls on your right arm, the left hand automatically moves towards the right arm to drive the ant away. The mind does not reason here. When you see a scorpion near your leg, you withdraw the leg automatically. This is called instinctive or automatic movement. As you cross a street, how instinctively you move your body to save yourself from the cars! There is no thought during such kind of mechanical movement.
Instinct is found in animals and birds also. In birds, the ego does not interfere with the free, divine flow and play. Hence the work done by them through their instinct is more perfect than that done by human beings. Have you ever noticed the intricate and exquisite work done by birds in the building of their beautiful nests ?
Reason Reason is higher than instinct and is found only in human beings. It collects facts, generalizes, reasons out from cause to effect, from effect to cause, from premises to conclusions, from propositions to proofs. It concludes, decides and comes to final judgment. It takes you safely to the door of intuition and leaves you there.
Belief, reason, knowledge and faith are the four important psychic processes. First you have belief in a doctor. You go to him for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor makes a thorough examination of you and prescribes certain medicines. You take them. You reason out: "Such and such is the disease. The doctor has given me some iron and iodide. Iron will improve my blood. The iodide will stimulate the lymphatics and absorb the exudation and growth in the liver. So I should take it."
Then, by a regular and systematic course of these drugs, the disease is cured in a month. You then get knowledge and have perfect faith in the efficacy of the medicine and the proficiency of the doctor. You recommend this doctor and his drugs to your friends so that they too might benefit from his treatment.
IntuitionIntuition is personal spiritual experience. The knowledge obtained through the functioning of the causal body (Karana Sarira) is intuition. Sri Aurobindo calls it the Supermind or Supramental Consciousness. There is direct perception of truth, or immediate knowledge through Samadhi or the Superconscious State. You know things in a flash.
Professor Bergson preached about intuition in France to make the people understand that there was a higher source of knowledge than the intellect.
In intuition there is no reasoning process at all. It is direct perception. Intuition transcends reason but does not contradict it. Intellect takes a man to the door of intuition and returns. Intuition is Divya Drishti (divine vision); it is the eye of wisdom. Spiritual flashes and glimpses of truth, inspiration, revelation and spiritual insight come through intuition.
The mind has to be pure for one to know that it is the intuition that is functioning at a particular moment.
Brahma-Jnana (knowledge of God) is above intuition. It transcends the causal body and is the highest form of knowledge
5. What do you resd this week?
Fier on Shout Volence and Peace Buliding
When scores of insurgents raided an Army battalion in Thailand's southernmost province of Narathiwat on January 2004, the government responded in full force by mobilising thousands of troops to the predominantly Malay-speaking region.
Unable to make any real headway in penetrating the inner circle of the new generation of insurgents, security forces continue to find themselves fighting an uphill battle against faceless enemies.
Almost on a daily basis, security officials and their informants are being shot and killed at close range by suspected insurgents. Those on patrol are not much safer. Many have been victims of roadside bombings that are usually followed by brief gunfights.
Resources have been channelled towards the community in a desperate effort to win the hearts and minds of the Malays. But relations between the community and the state apparatus continue to deteriorate as more and ordinary villagers no longer trust the state agencies to provide much-needed protection. Rumours of extra-judicial killings and abductions at the hands of the authorities are ripe among the Malay community, making reconciliation efforts that much more difficult.
Why did successive Thai governments fail to detect that a new generation of insurgents was in the making over the past decade? To what extent have the policies of successive governments contributed to the re-emergence of the spirit of separatism in the deep South? Will recommendations from the National Reconciliation Commission fall on deaf ears? To understand, read more from a series of articles from The Nation.
