I wonder what it’s like to be the rainmaker....
I wonder what it’s like to know that I make the rain....
I’d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone and you can come see them when I’m...done, when I’m done ...

I wonder what it’s like to be a super hero....
I wonder where I’d go if I could fly around downtown from some other planet,
I get this funky high on yellow sun boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they’re stunned

straight up,
what did you hope to learn about here if
I were someone else, would this all fall apart strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it’s like to be the head honcho...
I wonder what...
I’d do if they all did just what...
I said I’d shout out an order,
I think we’re out of this man get me some boy don’t make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

please don’t change,
please don’t break the only thing that seems to work at all is you please don’t change, at all from me to you, and you to me

Dedicated to sir Jalees !!!

How to Summarize :


1. A summary - or précis - is a shorter version of a longer piece of writing. The summary captures all the most important parts of the original, but expresses them in a [much] shorter space.
2. Summarizing exercises are usually set to test your understanding of the original, and your ability to re-state its main purpose.
3. Summarizing is also a useful skill when gathering information or doing research.
4. The summary should be expressed - as far as possible - in your own words. It's not enough to merely copy out parts of the original.
5. The question will usually set a maximum number of words. If not, aim for something like one tenth of the original. [A summary which was half the length of the original would not be a summary.]
6. Read the original quickly, and try to understand its main subject or purpose.
7. Then you will need to read it again to understand it in more detail.
8. Underline or make a marginal note of the main issues. Use a highlighter if this helps.
9. Look up any words or concepts you don't know, so that you understand the author's sentences and how they relate to each other.
10. Work through the text to identify its main sections or arguments. These might be expressed as paragraphs or web pages.
11. Remember that the purpose [and definition] of a paragraph is that it deals with one issue or topic.
12. Draw up a list of the topics - or make a diagram. [A simple picture of boxes or a spider diagram can often be helpful.]
13. Write a one or two-sentence account of each section you identify. Focus your attention on the main point. Leave out any illustrative examples.
14. Write a sentence which states the central idea of the original text.
15. Use this as the starting point for writing a paragraph which combines all the points you have made.
16. The final summary should concisely and accurately capture the central meaning of the original.
17. Remember that it must be in your own words. By writing in this way, you help to re-create the meaning of the original in a way which makes sense for you.

Example



Original text



'At a typical football match we are likely to see players committing deliberate fouls, often behind the referee's back. They might try to take a throw-in or a free kick from an incorrect but more advantageous positions in defiance of the clearly stated rules of the game. They sometimes challenge the rulings of the referee or linesmen in an offensive way which often deserves exemplary punishment or even sending off. No wonder spectators fight amongst themselves, damage stadiums, or take the law into their own hands by invading the pitch in the hope of affecting the outcome of the match.' [100 words]



Summary



Unsportsmanklike behaviour by footballers may cause hooliganism among spectators. [9 words]


Some extra tips



Even though notes are only for your own use, they will be more effective if they are recorded clearly and neatly. Good layout will help you to recall and assess material more readily. If in doubt use the following general guidelines.
Before you even start, make a note of your source(s). If this is a book, an article, or a journal, write the following information at the head of your notes: Author, title, publisher, publication date, and edition of book.
Use loose-leaf A4 paper. This is now the international standard for almost all educational printed matter. Don't use small notepads. You will find it easier to keep track of your notes if they fit easily alongside your other study materials.
Write clearly and leave a space between each note. Don't try to cram as much as possible onto one page. Keeping the items separate will make them easier to recall. The act of laying out information in this way will cause you to assess the importance of each detail.
Use a new page for each set of notes. This will help you to store and identify them later. Keep topics separate, and have them clearly titled and labelled to facilitate easy recall.
Write on one side of the page only. Number these pages. Leave the blank sides free for possible future additions, and for any details which may be needed later.

COMPUTER ASSIGNMENT #2

1.List the two main parts of the CPU and explain how they work.

1-Control Unit:

• The control unit directs the flow of data through the CPU, and to and from other devices.
• The control unit stores CPU's microcode, which contains the instructions for all the tasks the CPU can perform.

2. ALU:

• The actual manipulation of data takes place in ALU.
• The ALU can perform arithmetic and logic operations.
• The ALU connected to a set of registers-small memory aresa in the CPU, which hold data and program instructions while they are being processed

2.List three hardware factors that affect processing speed and explain how.

1.System Clock

• the system clock's tick set the pace of CPU.
• the system take to turn of and thn on a transistor.

2.RAM:

• the more amount of RAM a PC have the more amount of programe instruction & data it have in RAM which is faster to access thn storage.

3.BUS WIDTH

• the Bus width defines how many bits are going to travel at the samr time.

3.Define the terms CISC and RISC.

• CISC

Complex Instruction Set Computers:
Most of the PCs.

• RISC

Reduced Instruction Set Coputers:
faster bcz hav less intructions to decode.

4.Describe the four characteristics you would consider when comparing monitors.

1. Size
2. Resolution
3. Refresh Rate
4. Dot Pitch

1-Size :

• its the diagonal measurment of the moniters screen.

2-Resolution:

• Resolution is the number of pixels on a screen, expressed as a matrix (600 x 800)
• The resolution is determined by the video controller
• Monitors can operate different resolutions
  640 x 480 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
  800 x 600 Super VGA (SVGA)
  1280 x 1024

3-Refresh Rate:

• Phosphor Dots refresh rate in zig zag pattren, from left to reight & right to left,
• Fast Scanning=faster refresh rate( less flickering)

4-Dot Pitch:

• Dot pitch is the distance between the phosphor dots that make up a pixel
• In colour monotors each pixel is made up of three dots
• The closer the dots the crisper the picture
  

5.Identify two types of flat panel monitors and explain their differences.

1-LCD:
Most flat panel monitors use liquid crystal display (LCD) technology

Two main categories of LCDs

• Passive Matrix – Uses a transitor for each row and each column of pixels
• Active Matrix – Uses a transistor for each pixel
• Thin Film Transistor Displays (TFT)

2-PLAZMA:

it uses gases as a display element.

6.Describe the four criteria you should consider when evaluating printers.

• Image Quality – Measured in dots per inch (dpi)
• Speed – Measured in pages per minute (ppm) or characters per second (cps)
• Intial Cost – Printers vary in cost
• Cost Of Operation – This refers to the cost of supplies used by the printer
  

7.List four types of magnetic and four types of optical storage devices.

• Magnatic Storage:
  •Diskettes (floppy disks)
  •Hard Disks
  •High Capacity Floppy Disks
  •Disk Cartridges
  •Magnetic Tape
• Optical Storage:
  •Compact Disk Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM)
  •CD-Recordable (CD-R)/CD-ReWritable (CD-RW)
  •Digital Video Disk Read-Only Memory (DVD-ROM)
  •DVD Recordable (DVD-R)/DVD ReWritable (DVD-RW)
  •Photo CD

8.Describe the four areas created on a magnetic disk during formatting.

When the disk is formatted, the OS creates four areas on its surface:

1. •Boot Sector – Stores the master boot record, a small program that runs when you first start (boot) the computer.
2. •File allocation Table (FAT) – a log that records each file’s allocation and each sectors status
3. •Root Folder – enables the user to store data on the disk in logical way
4. •Data Area – the portion of the disk that actually holds data
   

Notes :

• when ever u found any document from Adeel, do run spell check twice !
• this is just a draft, plz take ur time to modify it.
• Although the contributer is a computers engineer but is not very much in books rather lov to present his own theories, so use on ur own risk!
• if want to add anything ...plz use comments.... below ...

Credit Policy:

For any OMC, industries are the biggest consumers, particularly the power plants and usually their payments are in millions and there are some restrictions like bank guarantees and product requirement because industries operate 24 hours so it is quite difficult to maintain business on cash. Similar is the case with ABC Gas. As there are many other OMC’s in market so the credit policy of company should reflect the respect for its creditor on the other hand efficient enough to keep track of its capital As ABC treats its customers with high regard, all the communication with customers reflects so.

The credit policy can be divided in to:

• The payment invoice.
• Reminder.
• Warning.

The invoices:
When a product is sold to a customer, its invoice is printed and sent to them accompanied by a letter acknowledging the transaction and requesting payment within the payment period of 20 working days. A formal corporate letter style is used which includes the date of the printing of the letter, the customer company’s address and the signature of ABC’s customer services manager.

Reminders:
When the required payment is not made within the payment period of 20 days, the first reminder is sent to the customer company requesting them to pay the due amount within the time period of 3 days. Three such warning letters are dispatched if the payment is not received.

Warning Letter:
If the payment is not received from a creditor after the lapse of third reminder period a warning letter is dispatched. A period of 3 days is given to the customer company to pay the dues, failing which legal action would be taken against them.
