Abstract
Big data plays a serious role within the business for creating higher predictions over business information that is collected from the real world. Finance is that the new sector wherever the big data technologies like Hadoop, NoSQL are creating its mark in predictions from financial data by the analysts. It’s a lot of fascinating within the stock exchange choices which might predict on a lot of profits of stock exchange. For this stock exchange analysis each regular information and historical information of specific stock exchange are needed for creating predictions. There are varied techniques used for analyzing the unstructured information like stock exchange reviews (day-to-day information) and historical statistic of economic information severally. This paper involves discussion regarding the strategies that square measure used for analyzing each varieties of information.

MATH Assignment for Core Assessment, 2017-18
Job opportunity surveys have consistently shown a high demand for those who can use mathematics to model complex processes and make informed predictions of the future. With this assignment, the student has the opportunity to demonstrate his or her level of sophistication with respect to the key, in-demand skills of communication, quantitative literacy, and critical thinking.
One skill of critical thinking involves evaluating information taken from sources and questioning its authenticity. This assignment may contain questionable information.
Objective: You are to consider the implications of rising tuition costs and make better, more informed life decisions with respect to course load. Specifically, you will estimate the tuition costs in the year 2019 - 2020.
Answer the following questions using complete sentences.
I. Visual Communication (the ability to recognize and understand ideas conveyed through visible images.)
The attached set of images, “Are you on the Fast-Track?” is found on the Eastfield College website. Although figure numbers are not actually printed on the graphic, consider Figure 1 as being “Time Is Money”. This particular image will not be used in this assignment. Consider Figure 2 as relating the number of classes taken per semester to the time required to complete a degree. Consider Figure 3 as the COST graph, predicting costs of tuition (the smooth solid (red) line with an arrow.) (Perhaps writing “Fig. 2” and “Fig 3” beside these images would be helpful.)
1. Description of the image
For Figure 2, “Number of classes” and Figure 3, “Cost,” identify the type of graph. Choose one of the following: line graph, bar graph, picture graph, or pie (circle) graph.
a. Figure 2 is a _______________________________
b. Figure 3 is a _______________________________
c. Explain how the choice of books and caps as icons in Figure 2 affect the image’s message._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
d. What other icons would you suggest that could convey the message of Figure 2? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Explanation (meanings and purposes of the image)
a. How do you interpret the message of Figure 2 (books and caps)? _________________________________________________________________________________
b. How do you interpret the message of Figure 3 (colored lines)? _________________________________________________________________________________
3. Consequences and Implications
a. In Figure 2 (books and caps), the choice of taking 4 classes per semester (a full load) is conspicuously absent. Assuming 4 classes per sem.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
