1) Joyce's Ulysses is structured as 18 episodes that parallel episodes in Homer's Odyssey, with Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus standing in for Odysseus and Telemachus.
2) It uses interior monologue and stream-of-consciousness to follow the wanderings and thoughts of Bloom and Dedalus over the course of a single day in Dublin, recording their impressions, memories, and fantasies.
3) By attempting to simulate human consciousness and bridge the modern world with the classical, Ulysses employs a wide range of styles and serves as an encyclopedic novel that references the whole history of Western culture.POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

Reading Ecocriticism in the play ¡®A Dance of the forest¡¯ by Wole Soyinka DivyaSheta
?
Xue and Bate suggest that the future is bleak for mankind. It is this bleak future that Wole Soyinka dramatises in A Dance of the Forests especially in the section where the three human characters are masked and in a state of possession they speak for the future in the voices of different spirits. As Eldred Jones (1973) intimates, the spirits together symbolise the total environment of Africa - all its resources and all its potentialities.

The poet encounters a snake drinking from his water trough on a hot day in Sicily. He watches the snake for some time, fascinated by it. However, voices in his head urge him to kill the snake, as snakes are supposedly dangerous. The poet realizes he does not want to kill the snake and is glad when it slithers back into the earth unharmed. Upon reflection, the poet regrets a moment of impulse where he hurled a log at the snake, realizing his action came from petty and misguided instincts rather than true courage or wisdom.Sappho
Sappholeenakins
?
Sappho was a female Greek poet born between 630-612 BC on the island of Lesbos who wrote lyric poetry, often about her love for women, to be sung to the lyre. Much of her work was lost but fragments were discovered in Egypt in the late 19th century. Piecing together what remains is difficult due to missing fragments, but Sappho has remained an influential literary and cultural figure known for her sensual love poems and bravery in openly writing about female relationships.Journey to the centre of the earth (6 10)

The Lady from the Sea explores the dilemma of freedom versus security. Ellida, the lady of the title, feels a strong connection to the sea and longs for her lost love who she believed had died. When he reappears, offering to take her away, she must choose between him and her life with her current husband Wangel on land. Ellida struggles with this choice and whether to give up her freedom to feel secure. In the end, when Wangel frees her to choose, she rejects her former love and commits to remaining with Wangel, realizing that true freedom allows her to make wise decisions. The play examines themes of individual psychology, freedom, and the conflicts people face in balancing security with self-More from Jekaterina Budo (6)

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
?
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.A PPT Presentation on The Princess and the God: A tale of ancient India by A...

Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM¡¯s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM¡¯s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO¡¯s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
