Poetics v/s The Republic in The Voice of a Poet.
By Praveen Gadhavi.
Them:-Poetics V/S Republic,
Ø              Philosophy V/S Literature
Ø “Literature is a constant effort to impregnate the meaningless with beautified Truth”.
               Literature is always for all.
Hudson, “A nation’s literature has its moods of exaltation and depression: it epochs a strong faith and strenuous idealism, now of doubt, struggle and disillusion now of unbelief and flippent disregard for the sanctities of existence and while the manner of expression will vary greatly with the individuality of each writer the dominant spirit of the our age, whatever that may be will directly as indirectly reveal itself in his work.”
                   Literature is a socialphenomenon.Another major theme of the poem is Philosophy v/s Literature.
E.g.  Plato and Aurangzeb. They represent dictatorship.Aurangzeb was against Art. But Art immortalized him. It is a fact that when you bury creativity, it rebounds with extra force.No writer can escape from the influence of his or her age.
                     All those great people want to suppress creativity but it finds its own way.Each and every poet represents the spirit of his age.Beauty-How can we prohibit beauty?
Ø We can say that “Beauty is Truth, Truth beauty”.
                             In this poem wine stands for inspiration.Creativity itself is a religion.Literature is their medium to go or to look beyond the particular boundaries.“A poet circumambulates Truth.”Literature is everlasting.Poet gives the idea that you can stop anyone but you can’t stop the voice of a poet. A poet’s voice  always demands changes in our social system. It  challenges the system.
Ø  e.g. Mother. She gives birth to her child, the same way the poet gives birth to his creation.
               A daughter stands for woman and woman gives birth to new creation.Law of oscillation.Every age has its particular tendency and poets advocate this tendency.Poem gives the idea of “An individual V/S Society”’Á poet V/S Established mind set.’
Ø The poet says that hope in the black prison cell, and without hope no one can live their life.
               Poet can spread his ideology even if he is imprisoned and attempts to destroy or control the process of creation results in creation.

Postcolonial Studies.
The critical analysis of the history, culture, literature,
And modes of discourse that are specific to the former colonies of England, Spain, France, and other European imperial powers. These studies have focused especially on the Third World countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean Islands and South America. Postcolonial studies sometimes encompass Also aspects of British literature in the eighteenth and nineteenth Centuries, viewed through a perspective that reveals the extent to which the Social and economic life represented in the literature was tacitly underwritten  By colonial exploitation. Some scholars, however, extend the scope of such Analyses also to the discourse and cultural productions of such countries as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, which achieved independence much Earlier than the Third World countries.
                               An important text in establishing the theory and practice in this recently Developed field of study was Orientalism (1978) by the Palestinian-American Scholar Edward Said, which applied a revised form of Michel Foucault's historicist Critique of discourse (see under new historicism) to analyze what he Called "cultural imperialism." This mode of imperialism imposed its power not by force, but by the effective means of disseminating in subjugated Colonies a Eurocentric discourse that assumed the normality and preeminence Of everything "occidental," correlatively with its representations of the "oriental “As an exotic and inferior other. Since the 1980s, such analysis has been supplemented by other theoretical principles and procedures, including Althusser'sRedefinition of the Marxist theory of ideology and the deconstructive Theory of Derrida. The rapidly expanding field of postcolonial studies, as a result, is not a unified movement with a distinctive methodology? One can, However, identify several central and recurrent issues :( 1) the rejection of the master-narrative of Western imperialism—in which the colonial other is not only subordinated and marginalized,
                           But in effect deleted as a cultural agency—and its replacement by counter-narrative in which the colonial cultures fight their way back into a world history written by Europeans. The influential collection of Essays, the Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Post-Colonial Literatures (1989), ed. Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, and Helen Tiffin’s, stresses what it terms the hybridization of colonial languages and cultures, in which imperialist importations are superimposed on indigenous traditions? It also includes a number of postcolonial counter texts to the
colonial history.(2) An abiding concern with the formation, within Western discursivePractices, of the colonial and postcolonial "subject," as well as of theCategories by means of which this subject conceives itself and perceivesThe world within which it lives and acts. (See subject under poststructuralist.)The subaltern has become a standard way to designateThe colonial subject that has been constructed by European discourseAnd internalized by colonial peoples who employ this discourse;
Rank, and combines The Latin terms for "under" (sub) and "other" (alter).
                                   A recurrent Topic of debate is how, and to what extent, a subaltern subject, writing In a European language, can manage to serve as an agent of resistance against, rather than of compliance with, the very discourse that has created its subordinate identity. See, e.g., Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, "Can the Subaltern Speak?" (1988), reprinted in The PostcolonialStudies Reader, listed below.(3) A major element in the postcolonial agenda is to disestablish EurocentricNorms of literary and artistic values, and to expand the literary Canon to include colonial and postcolonial writers. In the UnitedStates and Britain, there is an increasingly successful movement to include, in the standard academic curricula, the brilliant and innovativeNovels, poems, and plays by such postcolonial writers in theEnglish language as the Africans Chinua Achebe and Whole Soyinka, The Caribbean islanders V. S. Naipaul and Derek Walcott, and the authorsFrom the Indian subcontinent G. V. Desani and SalmanRushdie.

Said, Culture and Imperialism (1993).
British Cultural Materialism:-

Cultural studies are referred to as “cultural materialism” in Britain, and it has a long tradition. In the later nineteenth century Matthew Arnold sought to redefine the “givens” of British culture. Edward Burnett’s pioneering anthropological study primitive culture argued that “culture or civilization, taken in its widest ethnographic sense, is a complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society”(1).Claude Levi-Strauss’s influence moved British thinkers to assign “culture” to primitive peoples and then with the work of British scholars like Raymond Williams to attributes culture to the working class as well as the elite. As Williams memorably states: “there are no masses; there are only ways of seeing people as masses”.
                   To appreciate the importance of this revision of “culture” we must situate it within the controlling myth of social and political reality of the British Empire upon which the sun never set an ideology left over the previous century. In modern Britain two trajectories for “culture” developed. This cultural materialism furnished of leftist orientation “critical of the aestheticism, formalism, ant historicism and common among the dominant post war methods of academic literary criticism” Such was the description in the Johns Hopkins guide to literary Theory and criticism.
                   Cultural materialism began in earnest in the 1950 with the work of F.R.Leavis heavily influenced by Matthew Arnold’s analyses of bourgeois culture. Leavisites promoted the “great tradition” of Shakespeare and Milton to improve the moral sensibilities of a wider range of readers than just the elite. Inspired  by Karl Marx, British theorists were also influenced by Gorgy Lukas ,Theodor Adorn, Louis Althusser, Max Horkheimer, MikhilYachting, and Antonio Gramsci.Walter Benjamin attacked fascism by questioning the value of what he called the “aura” of culture. Benjamin helps explain the frightening cultural context for a film such as lenis Rifesta’s trimph of the will (1935) Lukach developed what he called a reflection theory.
                   Cultural materialists also turned to the more humanistic and even spiritual insights of the student of Rabelais and Dostoevsky, Russian formalist bakhtin, especially his amplification of the dialogic from of meaning within narrative and class struggle at once communal and conflictual, individual and social.

During the Victorian Age, great economic, social, and political changes occurred in Britain. The British Empire reached its height and covered about a quarter of the Earth. Industry and trade expanded rapidly, and railways and canals crisscrossed the country.
                      Science and technology made great advances. The size of the middle class grew enormously. By the 1850's, more and more people were getting an education. In addition, the government introduced democratic reforms, such as the right to vote for an increasing number of people. Many important events took place during Victoria's reign. Britain fought in the Opium War (1839-1842) in China and acquired the island of Hong Kong. Britain also fought in the Crimean War (1853-1856) against Russia and in the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) in order to protect its interest.InSoutherAfrica.
Writer of the time
Tennyson, Browning, Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot, Carlyle, Macaulay, Arnold, Ruskin.

                                                     Before the accession of Queen Victoria the 'industrial revolution,' the vast development of manufacturing made possible in the latter part of the eighteenth century by the introduction of coal and the steam engine, had rendered England the richest nation in the world, and the movement continued with steadily accelerating momentum throughout the period. Hand in hand with it went the increase of population from less than thirteen millions in England in 1825 to nearly three times as many at the end of the period. The introduction of the steam railway and the steamship, at the beginning of the period, in place of the lumbering stagecoach and the sailing vessel, broke up the old stagnant and stationary habits of life and increased the amount of travel at least a thousand times. The discovery of the electric telegraph in 1844 brought almost every important part of Europe, and eventually of the world, nearer to every town dweller than the nearest county had been in the eighteenth century; and the development of the modern newspaper out of the few feeble sheets of 1825 (dailies and weeklies in London, only weeklies elsewhere), carried full accounts of the doings of the whole world, in place of long-delayed fragmentary rumors, to every door within a few hours.
                      Political and social progress, though less astonishing, was substantial. In 1830 England, nominally a monarchy was in reality a plutocracy of about a hundred thousand men--landed nobles, gentry, and wealthy merchants--whose privileges dated back to fifteenth century conditions. The first Reform Bill, of 1832, forced on Parliament by popular pressure, extended the right of voting to men of the 'middle class,' and the subsequent bills of 1867 and 1885 made it universal for men. Laborers in factories and mines and on farms were largely in a state of virtual though not nominal slavery, living, many of them, in unspeakable moral and physical conditions. Little by little improvement came, partly by the passage of laws, partly by the growth of trades-unions. The substitution in the middle of the century of free-trade for protection through the passage of the 'Corn-Laws' afforded much relief by lowering the price of food. Socialism, taking shape as a definite movement in the middle of the century, became one to be reckoned with before its close, though the majority of the more well-to-do classes failed to understand even then the growing necessity for far-reaching economic and social changes. Humanitarian consciousness, however, gained greatly during the period. The middle and upper classes awoke to some extent to their duty to the poor, and sympathetic benevolent effort, both organized and informal, increased very largely in amount and intelligence. Popular education, too, which in 1830 had no connection with the State and was in every respect very incomplete, was developed and finally made compulsory as regards the rudiments.
                            Still more permanently significant, perhaps, was the transformation of the former conceptions of the nature and meaning of the world and life, through the discoveries of science. Geology and astronomy now gradually compelled all thinking people to realize the unthinkable duration of the cosmic processes and the comparative littleness of our earth in the vast extent of the universe. Absolutely revolutionary for almost all lines if thought was the gradual adoption by almost all thinkers of the theory of Evolution, which, partly formulated by Lamarck early in the century, received definite statement in 1859 in Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species.' The great modification in the externals of religious belief thus brought about was confirmed also by the growth of the science of historical criticism.
                             This movement of religious change was met in its early stages by the very interesting reactionary 'Oxford' or 'Tractarianism' Movement, which asserted the supreme authority of the Church and its traditional doctrines. The most important figure in this movement, who connects it definitely with literature, was John Henry Newman (1801-90), author of the hymn 'Lead, Kindly Light,' a man of winning personality and great literary skill. For fifteen years, as vicar of the Oxford University Church, Newman was a great spiritual force in the English communion, but the series of 'Tracts for the Times' to which he largely contributed, ending in 1841 in the famous Tract 90, tell the story of his gradual progress toward Rome. Thereafter as an avowed Roman Catholic and head of a monastic establishment Newman showed himself a formidable controversialist, especially in a literary encounter with the clergyman-novelist Charles Kingsley which led to Newman's famous 'Apologia pro Vita Sue' (Apology for My Life).  The most important literature of the whole period falls under the three heads of essays, poetry, and prose fiction, which we may best consider in that order.
Tennyson, like Chaucer, he was a national poet. Tennyson’s concept of faith and immortality is well expressed in In Memoriam
Dickens’s experiences in life are reflected in his novels. David Copperfield is in this respect shares some autobiographical elements. Tale of Two Cities
you can read “Henry Esmond” to know Thackeray’s realism. He deals with satire in his writing and has got great skills of critical writer.
George Eliot
Carlyle is often called prophet and censor. “Heroes and Hero Worship” to know his idea of history. Sartor Resartus reflects his some of experiences of his own life.
Macaulay’s historical knowledge serves in writing his literary essays.
the elements of Victorian life are reflected in Arnold’s poetry. There is coldness and sadness in his verses. Sohrab and Rustum,

Indoor Location Recognition using Point Cloud Registration and Kinect Fusion

(3D Bild-Analyse und Synthese)
Betreuer: Anas Al-Nuaimi
Indoor location recognition remains to be a challenge. Established localization systems such as GPS do not work indoors. One approach to location recognition developed at our institute is based on matching query images visually to a database of geo-tagged images. This approach which is based on techniques from content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has shown very promising results. In this thesis, this approach is extended by replacing the database of images by a 3D point cloud and the query by a local scan of the geometry of the environment using the Xtion RGBD sensor. The location retrieval is achieved using shape matching algorithms. This is motivated by the increased proliferation of mobile 3D sensors that can capture appearance (RGB) and geometry (Depth: D) on the fly. Furthermore, state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction algorithms, such as KINFU, allow capturing an extensive query with fine shape details giving this approach an edge as compared to standard CBIR-based localization wherein the query is a view-dependent representation of the environment.

When we want to study behaviour of gases and vapours under variations of temperature and pressure. Thermodynamics helps us to study heat and pressure energy.

Themodynamics is explained with two important Law's

1) First law of thermodynamics
2) Second law of thermodynamics

First law of thermodynamics

The law states that heat energy can be converted into mechanical energy and vice- versa. The rate of exchange of energy is constant and is measurable. This can be illustratued with example given below.

Heat energy to Mechanical energy

When fuel is burned in the piston, large amount of heat is generated. This heat energy is converted into mechanical energy by the help of piston and cranckshaft. This change of energy is measurable.

Mechanical energy to Heat energy

In the absence of lubrication, when two moving parts come in contact, large amount of heat is generated. This heat energy can be measured easily with temperature gauge.

Second law of thermodynamics

The law states that transfer of heat cannot take place from low temperature region to high temperature region by itself. It is only possible when an external energy source is applied. This can be explained with example given below.

Heat can easily flow from a radiator to open atmosphere as radiator is at higher temperaure than atmosphere. But if we want to lower the temperature of a region below the surrounding atmosphere we will have to add an external device called refrigerator. The refrigerator will keep the space cooler than surrounding atmosphere.

The Gas Laws

1) Boyle's Law

Under constant temperature condition, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to pressure.

                               P X V = K
P is absolute pressure
V is the volume occupied at pressure P.

2) Charles's Law

It is also known as Gay-Lussac's Law. The law states that under constant pressure, absolute temperature is directly proportional to the volume.

                                   V/T = K

The combined gas law expalines the relationship between volume, pressure and temperature.

                          P1V1           P2V2
                            T1              T2

8 Tips For Becoming Emotionally Independent And Self-Reliant

You've no doubt heard the old saying; “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. The metaphor of feeding someone and that sufficing to get them through one day, and one day alone shows that people can only be helped so far. If all we do is help people and do things for them all the time, then they rely on us, which is not only unhealthy for their development of skills, it also makes them psychologically weak, confidence deprived, and quite literally puts their very future at risk.

Let's look at the flip side, where we ‘Teach a Man to Fish'… Not only does the man become self-sufficient and becomes able to survive without being provided for, but he has a sense of achievement and fulfillment which is priceless.

How good does an angler feel as he pulls a fish from the water? Much better than when one is placed generously in front of him, merely to eat. People need to be valued for who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

We help them best when we ‘Teach Them How to Fish'. What I am going to do now is explain how to fish and become self-reliant, in eight not so easy steps.

1. Become A Nonconformist

You must avoid following popular opinion and avoid conforming to the weak and highly vulnerable will of the majority.

Trust your own instincts, ideas, principles and common sense. If you follow these gut feelings, you will come to your own personal conclusions. Be open to new thoughts and ideas but do not be ashamed if you do not follow the crowd.

2. Stand For And Defend Principles

Nothing can bring you freedom but you and nothing can bring peace but the triumph of principles. The integrity of your own mind and the principles you believe to be honorable and just are things you must fight for and protect against any opposition.

If you truly believe in something, then stand up for it! This includes you.

3. Insist On Being Authentic

There is a time in everyone's life when they arrive at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that you must take yourself for better or for worse.

Every single person has something unique to offer! Insist on being yourself and work to cultivate your gifts.

4. Surrender Unnecessary Dependence

Identify where you are currently dependent on taking inventory of your life. Look for any unnecessary and unhealthy situations and resolve to move to a state of self-reliance. Often you can find the solution within yourself and add this sense of independence.

5. Confront and Overcome Obstacles

You must have the understanding that the world is filled with obstacles not to stop you, not to make you give up on your dreams, suck your thumb, and call for your mother for help… BUT to develop internal strength and self-reliance.

You will not only discover yourself, both your strengths and weaknesses, during these times but may develop lifelong connections with others who have gone through the same hardships. Keep tackling new hurdles knowing that you're always getting closer to the finish line!

6. Work And Produce Results

Honorable work is the most foundational source of happiness, self-worth, and prosperity. Your greatest asset and primary sense of security freedom extends from your ability to produce results and that's what self-reliance is all about. If you work hard for something, you will feel better having earned it yourself!

7. Take Full Advantage Of Educational Opportunities

Those who have the lowest levels of skill and the weakest capacity for constant updating will find themselves uncompetitive, unemployed, and highly dependent upon others. Therefore, it is imperative that everyone commit to becoming a student for life.

Be sure to take new opportunities when they present themselves and continuously expand your knowledge!

8. Be Free From Debt

Money is a faithful, loyal servant and we are its master. It allows us to enjoy freedom, expands our options and allows us to make better greater choices.

However when we get into debt the roles change, and we find ourselves in the position of slavery and losing our freedom. The person who owes money is a servant to the person or to the corporation who lends the money. Never are you less free than when you are in debt.

So, do you want to be more self-reliant, more productive, and enjoy far more freedom and control?

Let's clear the deck on one point… Self-reliance or “Learning How to Fish”, is not to be looked at as anti-society nor anti-community. Instead, we must view and advocate for self-reliance as a starting point, as a means of being responsible, not as an exclusionary goal.

Self-reliance is all about freedom from the control or influence of outside parties and encourages each of us to take responsibility for our own needs; physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and economic. To put it more directly, it's an understanding that nobody owes you anything.

I've dedicated my life to teaching people how to fish. In fact, I'm now making it easier than ever for anyone to learn the 3 simple steps to get unstuck and unlock their dreams with my free e-book!

From the moment you download this book, you'll learn that by consistently applying the principles of focus, commitment, accountability, and execution, that you are creating a bigger, bolder and far more beautiful life for yourself and your family.
