In his poem ‘Ode on Solitude’, Alexander defines a happy man. A happy man has a lot of land. He does not have to go out looking for any job. He has milk from his cattle, bread from his fields and dress (wool) from his sheep. The trees give him shade in the summer and in the winter he makes fire with the wood from those trees. He has health in body and peace in mind. He sleeps soundly at night. He uses his life for study and recreation. He is a good man and spends time in meditation. The poet wants to live like him. He does not want to be famous. He wants to quietly go away from life unlamented. He does not even want any memorial stone raised on his tomb.

The poem To sleep’ by William Wordsworth, who is known as the high priest of Nature, is an exquisite poem that presents to us some of the finest sights, sounds and movements of Nature. We can see a flock of sheep leisurely passing by one after one; we can the sound of rain and the murmuring of bees. We can hear the fall of rivers, winds and seas. We can see the smooth fields, white sheets of water and pure sky. We also hear the melodies of small birds coming from the orchard trees. We hear the cuckoo’s melancholy cry. The poet can’t sleep. Maybe he is worried about the bad things happened during the past. In fact he has not slept for a couple of days and this makes him all the more worried. If he does not sleep he won’t be able to enjoy the wonderful signs and sounds of the morning. Sleep brings fresh thoughts and joyous health.

Both are exquisite poems. While Pope describes the things needed for a man to be happy, Wordsworth is more interested in presenting the beautiful sights, sounds and movements of Nature. In both poems ‘Sleep’ is an essential element for happiness. Only a happy man can have a sound sleep. The reverse is also true. Only a sound sleep can make a man happy. Sleep and happiness are complementary.

Between the two I prefer the poem by Wordsworth. The imagery there is far better. Both poems have good rhythm and rhyme. There are instances of alliterations and assonances in both and they increase the melodious quality. There are excellent figures of speeches, especially personification. Both poems have a grave mood. Nothing funny, nothing light hearted. Both are philosophical poems. I do not agree with the idea of Pope of a man going away from this world quietly, unknown, not even leaving behind him a tombstone for posterity to remember him.

Automated Acquisition System:

“A system of man and machine developed for acquiring information sources for a library can be considered automated acquisition system”. If library and the suppliers both are able to manage their part of function online then Acquisition activities may be performed online. Ordering, payment, accessioning are being managed online with the help of ICT.

Orphan drugs are medications or other medicinal products used to treat  rare diseases or disorders. They are called  “orphan drugs” because due to their limited market, few pharmaceutical companies pursue research into such products. Selling to only a small group of patients, drug manufacturers would be unlikely to recover development and marketing costs, let alone make a profit by producing the product.

Elastic scattering

• Elastic scattering is the most important process for slowing down neutrons.
• Total kinetic energy of the system is conserved in elastic scattering.
• In this process, energy lost by the neutron is transferred to the recoiling nucleus.
• Elastic scattering cross-sections for light elements are more or less independent of neutron energy up to 1 MeV.
• Scattering of slow neutrons by molecules is greater than by free nuclei.

Differential components allows outer wheel runs faster than the inner wheels while taking a turn.

1. The earliest form of technology existent in China, Japan and Korea was actually a system of hand printing. From AD 594 onwards, books in China were printed by rubbing paper against the inked surface of woodblocks. As both sides of the thin, porous sheet could not be printed, the traditional Chinese ‘accordion book’ was folded and stitched at the side.

2. People feared that the development of print could lead to the growth of dissenting ideas because print and popular literature encouraged many distinctive interpretations of religious faith and ideas. Manocchio gave a new interpretation of the Bible and formulated a view of God and creation that enraged the Roman Catholic Church. As a result he was hauled up twice and ultimately executed when the Roman Church began its inquisition and to repress heretical ideas.  

3. 

(i) Ideas of the enlightened : The print popularised the ideas of the enlightened thinkers, who attacked the authority of the Church and the despotic power of the state, e.g., Voltaire and Rousseau.

(ii) New culture : The print created a new culture of dialogue and debate and the public became aware of reasoning. They recognised the need to question the existing ideas and beliefs.

(iii) Criticism of the noble class : The literature of 1780s mocked the royalty and criticised their morality and the existing social order. This literature led to the growth of hostile sentiments against the monarchy.

4. It was not just a development, a new way of producing books; it  transformed the lives of people, changing their relationship to information and knowledge, and with institutions and authorities. Printing reduced the cost of books. Access to books created a new culture of reading. Books could be read only by the literate, and the rates of literacy in most European countries were very low till the twentieth century. Printers began publishing popular ballads and folk tales, and such books were profusely illustrated with pictures. These were then sung and recited at gatherings in villages and in taverns. Oral culture thus entered print and printed material was orally transmitted. Print and popular religious literature stimulated many distinctive individual interpretations of faith even among little-educated working people.  The Roman Church, troubled by effects of popular readings and questionings of faith, imposed severe controls over publishers and booksellers and began to maintain an Index of Prohibited Books from 1558.

5. Some new forms of publications which came into circulation in India were:

(i). New forms of writings such as short stories, lyrics and essays on political and cultural lives began to be published. 

(ii). The printing press also enabled the reproduction of visual images. Paintings of Raja Ravi Varma were circulated widely.

(iii). Cheap prints and calendars could even be bought by the poor section of society. Various religious and social messages were propagated with the help of these media.

(iv). By the 1870s, we had the publication of various cartons and caricatures in newspapers. Cartoons ridiculed people following the western style of dressing.
