Khyber Pakhtunkhwa KPK


Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is one of the four provinces of Pakistan, located in the northwestern region of the country. It was formerly known as North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), commonly called Sarhad in Urdu, which means "frontier." Its provincial capital and largest city is Peshawar, followed by Mardan. It shares borders with the Federally Administered Tribal Areas to the west; Gilgit–Baltistan to the northeast; Azad Kashmir, Islamabad and Punjab to the east and southeast. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa does not share a border with Balochistan which lies to its southwest. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa also shares an international border with Afghanistan, connected through the Khyber Pass.

It is also the site of the ancient kingdom Gandhara, the ruins of its capital, Pushkalavati, (modern day Charsadda), and the most prominent center of learning in the Peshawar Valley, Takht-i-Bahi. It has been under the suzerainty of the Persians, Greeks, Mauryans, Kushans, Shahis, Ghaznavids, Mughals, Sikhs, and British Empire throughout its long history. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the third largest province of Pakistan by the size of both population and economy though it is geographically the smallest of four. It comprises 10.5% of Pakistan's economy, and is home to 11.9% of Pakistan's total population, with the majority of the province's inhabitants being Pashtuns , Hazarewal, Chitrali, and Kohistanis.

The Social Network 2010 (The Movie)



The Social Network is a 2010 American biographical drama film directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin. Adapted from Ben Mezrich's 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal, the film portrays the founding of social networking website Facebook and the resulting lawsuits. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as founder Mark Zuckerberg, along with Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, the other principals involved in the website's creation. Neither Zuckerberg nor any other Facebook staff were involved with the project, although Saverin was a consultant for Mezrich's book. The film was released in the United States by Columbia Pictures on October 1, 2010.


The Social Network received widespread acclaim, with critics praising its direction, screenplay, acting, editing and score. Although several people portrayed in the film criticized its historical inaccuracies, the film appeared on 78 critics' Top 10 lists for 2010; of those critics, 22 had the film in their number-one spot, the most of any film in its year. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers said "The Social Network is the movie of the year. But Fincher and Sorkin triumph by taking it further. Lacing their scathing wit with an aching sadness, they define the dark irony of the past decade." It was also Roger Ebert's selection for the best film of the year.


ZUCK: 'The Social Network' Movie Was Hurtful When It Said I Created Facebook 'To Attract Girls'


Sky News reports that one question asked about Zuckerberg's feelings on The Social Network, the 2010 movie which chronicled the early days of Facebook during Zuckerberg's time at Harvard university. 


Zuckerberg has previously called the movie inaccurate, but this time he hinted at his reaction to watching the movie:


"They just kind of made up a bunch of stuff that I found really hurtful." Zuckerberg said. "They made up this whole plot line about how I somehow decided to create Facebook to attract girls."

Importance of Database

What is a database?

It is a tool used to store and keep track of information relative to activities that an individual or a company/organisation has with the university

Are databases part of our lives?


YES

1. In choosing a restaurant from the Yellow Pages, we indirectly use a database

2. A hotel room is obtained by searching from a database (single room, non smoking, with TV)

3. Some of us may have a Christmas Card database (who do we send the card to, address, did we also send it last year?)

The Advantages Of a Database


1. Pooled information

Functions such as departments, units, as well as single individuals (academics, administrative staff) usually accumulate a wide range of information on individuals and companies

If these “islands” are united, everybody will have a much more complete picture.

2. Duplication of efforts

In your university there are probably dozens of address lists of the same companies and individuals.

Time and money is wasted in keeping them all up-dated.

Non synchronised lists lead to annoyed companies and individuals who are contacted from several different directions.

Through the database, different parts of the university would access and update the same info.

3. Presenting a unified “face”

Emphasising the earlier point, if different sections of the university keep maintaining separate databases, the relationship building process will be undermined by the irritation of the alumni/companies.

This problem can be reduced if all elements of the university coordinate marketing, development and other externally-facing operations through a centrally shared database.

4. Rationalised IT investment

Different systems managed by different units/functions can only deplete university resources faster.

The database is a focused investment developed to encourage cooperation

5. Developing an institutional memory

A database is also a vehicle to capture people’s knowledge.

Every time some member of staff leaves, unless his/her data is recorded, such information is lost.

Achieving a shared database

There is more to a database than just records.

The success of a database revolves around issues related to human resources, politics (!), and practical constrains.

Where do you look for information for your database?

How do you start putting one together?

Who are you going to ask to start working with you on it (and sharing)?

Who is going to pay for the software?

How To Make a Disk Partition in Windows Without Changing Windows

You can easily Create a Partition without changing Window. Follow the below simple steps:

1. Go to start

Search run, and type diskmgmt.msc.

2. In Disk Management 

In Disk Management’s Graphical view, right-click an unallocated or free area, and then click New Simple Volume. This starts the New Simple Volume Wizard. (Note: If you need to create unallocated space, see the Tip Easily Shrink a Volume on a Windows 7 Disk for information on how to do this.) 

3. Set size in MBs

The Specify Volume Size page specifies the minimum and maximum size for the volume in megabytes and lets you size the volume within these limits. Size the partition in megabytes using the Simple Volume Size field and then click Next. 

4. Fill Required Information

Give name for your newly created partition and then set size for this.

5 Format and Finish

Sets the file system type as FAT, FAT32, or NTFS. NTFS is selected by default in most cases. If you create a file system as FAT or FAT32, you can later convert it to NTFS by using the Convert utility. You can’t, however, convert NTFS partitions to FAT or FAT32. 

After allocating size, Format the newly created Partition and then a new Partition is READY. :)
