Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Tongue-twister When writers combine stressed syllables that begin with the same consonant sound, they can achieve not only euphonious sounds, but also mark certain beats and cadence within the narrative’s rhythm. For example: Noise, nausea, and loneliness-but that’s nothing really new. The ‘n’ consonant adds a very distinctive rhythm to the text, adding a halting cadence to the grim, negative text. In the following example we find double alliteration provided by the consonants ‘b’ and ‘l;’ and furthermore more, we could add the sound of the ‘p’ consonant, which is very close to the sound of ‘b.’ Oh, the whiteness of her breasts: poreless, flawless, of breathless beauty, white blossoms tipped with divine blush! The 1st century A.D. critic and teacher of Rhetoric Demetrius says, “Poetic vocabulary in prose adds grandeur;” but this technique should not be abused because –Alliteration being a poetic rather than a prose device– there’s always the danger of the prose turning purple or rigid. Edith Wharton?in her novel The Custom of the Country uses a disguised alliteration which makes her prose turgid if not stiff: No one would care to be seen talking to her while Mabel was at her side; Mabel, monumental and moulded while the fashionable were flexible and diaphanous, Mabel strident and explicit while they were subdued and allusive (33). Jane Austen?discreetly injects alliteration in the titles of her novels: Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility; the same may be said of George?Eliot’s Middlemarch. Other master storytellers use alliteration to achieve special effects such as visceral reactions. In his The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson?uses the “D” sound to produce a revolting effect in the reader, every time he mentions Mr. Hyde: “… his appearance: something displeasing, something down-right detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere …” (11). “… had left of that body an imprint of deformity and decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol … (65).” And throughout the novelette, Stevenson continues to use the following words: death, dissection, destitute, despised, decomposed, dwarfish, despicable, disgust, and troglodytic. Edgar Allan Poe?in “The Fall of the House of Usher” sets the mood for the whole story with the “D” sound in the first sentence: During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. Laura Esquivel?in her novel Like Water for Chocolate, also uses a similar technique: Unquestionably, when it came to dividing, dismantling, dismembering, desolating, detaching, dispossessing, destroying, or dominating, Mama Elena was a pro (97). And Joseph Heller?in Catch-22: The colonel had really been investigated. There was not an organ of his body that had not been drugged and derogated, dusted and dredged, fingered and photographed, removed, plundered and replaced (15). Another master of prosody and the “d” sound is Nathaniel Hawthorne: There are some spheres, the contact with which inevitably degrades the high, debases the pure, deforms the beautiful (Hawthorne, Blithedale Romance 101). The ancient dust, the mouldiness of Rome, the dead atmosphere in which he had wasted so many months; the hard pavements, the smell of ruin, and decaying generations; the chill palaces, the convent bells, the heavy incense of altars; the life that he had led in those dark, narrow streets, among priests, soldiers, nobles, artists, and women; all the sense of these things rose from the young man’s consciousness like a cloud, which had darkened over him without his knowing how densely (Hawthorne, Marble Faun, 74). In gothic novels such as Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho, the “D” sound is used throughout the book with great efficiency to elicit visceral reactions: “Ye are to know, Signors, that the Lady Laurentini had for some months shewn symptoms of a dejected mind, nay of a disturbed imagination” (274). Montoni was discomposed (275). Notwithstanding his efforts to appear at ease, he was visibly and greatly disordered (275). “I am not superstitious,’ replied Montoni, regarding him with stern displeasure, ‘though I know how to despise the common-place sentences, which are frequently uttered against superstition (275). To hammer in the impression of money and opulence surrounding Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby, Scott?Fitzgerald?resorts to the “m” and “n” sounds: I bought a dozen volumes on banking and credit and investment securities and they stood on my shelf in red and gold like new money from the mint, promising to unfold the shining secrets that only Midas and Morgan and Maecenas knew (Fitzgerald?8). When Professor Henry Higgins-in Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion- tutored the Cockney girl Eliza Doolittle to speak like a lady, he used the following statement: “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.” Not only are tonal and sonority effects achieved, but we can also feel the rhyme and impressiveness of alliteration. Even in satire and in dialogue, alliteration can be effective as we see in Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho: “You are pure prep perfection,” he purrs. Conclusion We can say that readers perceive, in some cases subconsciously and more readily, certain sounds, beats, and sonorous combinations. A misbehaving child would certainly stop at the following admonition: Don’t you dare do dat-dammit! Retired. Former investment banker, Columbia University-educated, Vietnam Vet (67-68).

Companies often tie rewards such as bonuses and merit increment to a person’s rating in a performance appraisal. From an employee’s perspective, it’s thus about highlighting as much achievements as possible, and downplaying weaknesses or areas where improvement is required. However, there is of course no such thing as the perfect employee. Most companies require employees and their managers to indicate at least a couple of areas of improvements, and plans on how to achieve those goals in the next review period. As such, it is important to write “areas of improvement” in such a way that it does not have a negative impact on you professionally. Here are 3 areas of improvement or development plans that you can live with, or even put you in a good light. Area of Improvement # 1: Improve soft skills such as presentation or negotiation skills. Everyone needs to improve their soft skills, and highlighting this has no impact on your professionalism. Area of Improvement # 2: Increase proficiency in internal systems

What does ‘Absurd’ mean ?When I searched the glossaries ,I found the word to be ‘out of harmony’(1).But yet the definitions trying hard to explain the term , just to end in total ‘Absurdity’ (assuming for a while that we know the meaning of the word),as they talk in total sense, the nonsense about it and of course that means they fail(in their attempt ).But considering the term to be linked with literature (and other forms of art too!),when I searched for more I came across the lines that states that no ‘literary criticism’ [in which I include the attempts to explain the literary terms] can take the literary work itself ,or to be more specific ‘…it [literary criticism]is no substitute for reading the work itself’(2),as it [the piece of work]is the most exactly and precisely ,the thought conveyed or explained. So, I reached the idea that to understand ‘absurd’ .I must view an absurd work by an artist, rather than poring over the talks about it. Hence as a literary student what first came to my mind at this instant is none, but WAITING FOR GODOT by Samuel Beckett, the so called absurd play structured around ‘Go dot’, the axis all absurdity[as till the date none could declare with confidence ‘who’ or ‘what’ Go dot is !] What I found in the dustbin of my memories about this go dot is: “On 19 Nov 1957, a group of worried actors were preparing to face their audience . The actors were members of the company of the San Francisco Actors’ Workshop . The audience consisted of fourteen hundred convicts at the San Quentin penitentiary . No live play had been performed at San Quentin since Sarah Bernhardt appeared there in 1913 .Now ,forty four years later ,the play that had been chosen ,largely because no woman appeared in it , was Samuel Beckett’s WAITING FOR GODOT’(3). …”Beckett real triumph ,…came when WAITING FOR GODOT which appeared in book form in 1952,was first produced on 5 January 1953 , at the little Theatre de Babylone (now defunct ),…’(4) And I found also some lines of this play: “… ESTRGON:Didi. VLADIMIR:Yes. ESTRGON:I can’t go on like this. VLADIMIR: That’s what you think. ESTRAGON:If we parted?That might be better of us . VLADIMIR:We’ll hang ourselves tomorrow.(Pause)Unless Go dot comes. ESTRAGON:And if comes? VLADIMIR:We’ll be saved …”(5) It is said about Beckett that when he was asked that what he meant by Go dot he answered “If I knew ,I would have said so in the play”(6).’WAITING FOR GODOT does not tell a story ;it explores a static situation ‘(7).So it is clear from the very beginning that Beckett tried to create a ‘character’ without a character’ as he himself doesn’t know him [Go dot], and again the movement of plot tends to zero ,i.e. there is absolutely no plot . Previously it was taken for granted that if there exists a literary piece then there must be either a story( or plot) to tellor any character to be represented .But did exactly opposite to revolutionize his concept .He presents a ‘character’ whom he himself does not know and tell a plot which is nothing but variations in arrangements and sequences of few events with negligible movement or action :’nothing happens , nobody comes nobody goes …’ (8). But can be the term ‘Absurd’ assigned to merely these qualities of the play? No, there are still more as mentioned by critics .In an essay on Kalfka ,Ionesco defined his understanding of the term as ‘ Absurd is that which is devoid of purpose…’(9).And the purposeless becomes evident when ‘ the more things change , the more they are the same ‘(10).And this is done by creating uncommon situations in the play by Breckett . For instance the boy who carries message of Go dot to Estragon and Vladimir fails to recognize them on each day of his reappearance .”The French version explicitly states that the boy who appears in the second act is the same boy as the one in the first act , yet the boy denies that he has even seen the two tramps before , and insists that this is the first time he has acted as Go dot’s messenger’(11).And this is done while ‘waiting’ which is interpreted by Martin Esslin as ‘Waiting is to experience the action of time , which is constant change . And yet , as nothing real ever happens , the change is itself an illusion .The ceaseless activity of time is a self defeating purposeless…’(12). And thus by this purposelessness Beckett tries to prove the absurdity of his play .But is this really absurd ? If we view it from some different point of views we can suddenly find something contradicting . It is because we know the fact that ‘ truth is never real’ ,and what we define for a situation becomes a truth for us , for that moment . So is the case of abnormality or normality of a situation . When any action is most common that becomes ‘ normal ‘ for us and this is the very base of our understanding .We understand what is most common and general .We understand something uncommon by referring it to some common things or actions we understand .So our very base of understanding is based upon some general truth or common events ,the state which we call normal .Now when we something out of order in a play (e.g. WAITIG FOR GODOT) ,we interpret it in terms of those ‘ commons’ of our memory .But on this view we analyze , can uncommon or absurdity be perceived by us directly without any aid or reference to our definition of ‘normality’ ? It is similar to what Rene’ Wellek tried to explain in his essay ‘ATTACK ON LITERATURE’ by citing an example of Samuel Beckett’s ENDGAME .Becket has portrayed a character in END GAME who was ‘ looking for the voice of his silence ‘(13).’The artist’s dissatisfaction with language can only be expressed by language .Pause may be a device to express the inexpressible ,but pause can’t be prolonged indefinitely ,cann’t be simply silence as such . It needs contrast , it needs a beginning and an end…’(14). This statement suggests the importance of contrast and this is as true in case of absurdity and non-absurdity as it is true in the case of silence and music . In this light we can reach decision that there is no sense of absurdity without the normality . But how this is true in case of Go dot can be analyzed as follows : Beckett tries hard to achieve absurdity by doing through his characters , the abnormal things (or at least normal things in abnormal sequence ), still there remains the elements of non-absurdity in every corner of the play . The boy who doesn’t recognize the two tramps bring message from the same Go dot (It never happens ever that Go dot brings a message from the boy ;or the tramps bring message from the boy to go dot ;or tramps speak out the message that the boy brings from the Go dot for them ;or Go dot never receives message from tramps and so many can be the absurd case ).It was only one angle of interpretation of the situation .Other interpretations can be many in numbers :Go dot waits for tramps ;or tramps don’t wait for Go dot while they say they waited. etc. etc. When I mean to say is that whatever action is done in the play has therefore the elements of non-absurdity .We could have recognized them if what we call absurdity would be the most normal and what we now feel normal would have been absurd .In fact we can’t express absurdity itself and this is the deceiving nature of ‘Absurdity’ , because the moment we speak out something it becomes a little different from what we originally meant to express . ‘Words , the medium of fiction ,are a fabrication of man’s intellect .They are a part of human lie ‘(14).And for this reason any literature needs that medium to be expressed , that becomes deceptive .So Roland Barthes of France says therefore that ‘Literature is a system of deceptive signification…emphatically signifying ,but never finally signified ‘(16). Therefore whatever actions Beckett tried to fabricated in to the play , stands till today between in the limits of absurd and non-absurd and how this action is nearer to any of these two limits depends on what words are used and how they are used to define the limits . That’s why the play ‘..of the supposedly esoteric avant-grade make so immediate and so deep an impact on an audience of convicts…’(17),where as the critics could not easily accepted the play as an art in the beginning . Martin Esslin writes : ‘ because it confronted them [the prisoners] with a situation in some ways analogous to their own ? Perhaps . Or perhaps because they were un sophisticated enough to come to the theater without any preconceived notions and readymade expectations ,so that they avoided the mistake that trapped so many established critics who condemned the play for its lack of plot ,development , characterizations , suspense or plain common sense ‘(18).And of course this is what we see as the attempt to define absurd with non-absurd .Similarly many other attempts have been made in the past and present to create uncommon out of common .For example the Dadaist Movement . ‘Attempts have been made not only to widen the realm of art ,but to abolish the boundary between the art and the non-art . In music , noises of machines or the streets are used ; in painting, collage uses stuck-on news papers , buttons , medals and so on , or ‘found objects’

Profiles are one of the best kept secrets around regarding Mozilla Firefox (my browser of choice). In the role of web site designer, I find it useful to have Firefox set up with various Extensions for helping test compliance, keep track of Google Adsense earnings, checking PageRank and Alexa rating, etc… However, when I am simply surfing the internet, I don’t want to be weighed down by all these tools, cluttering up my status and toolbars. I like a slick, simple browser that looks good and works quickly. Profiles are one of the best kept secrets around regarding Mozilla Firefox (my browser of choice). In the role of web site designer, I find it useful to have Firefox set up with various Extensions for helping test compliance, keep track of Google Adsense earnings, checking PageRank and Alexa rating, etc… However, when I am simply surfing the internet, I don’t want to be weighed down by all these tools, cluttering up my status and toolbars. I like a slick, simple browser that looks good and works quickly. Fortunately, I am able to have both of these scenarios in Firefox, through the wonder of Profiles. How do Firefox Profiles work? Firefox allows multiple users to set up the browser to suit their own specific needs and tastes, from Themes and Extensions to Bookmarks and Home Page. Upon startup of Firefox, you are able to choose which user profile you would like to use. So, you can now have a profile for your web development needs, one for your personal surfing, and even one for the kids (allowing you to increase Firefox’s security measures). Each profile is independent of the others, so it’s like having a new installation for each user. How do I activate Firefox Profiles? 1. Firstly, find the Firefox shortcut on your desktop (or create one from the .exe file). 2. Right-click it, and select properties. 3. Lastly, in the Target box, add ‘ -p’ without the apostrophes to the end of the target line (so that it reads something like ‘C:Program FilesMozillaFirefoxfirefox.exe -p’), and click OK. Now when you start Firefox through this shortcut you will be prompted with the Profiles Manager box (as long as you do not already have an instance of Firefox open). It’s all self-explanatory from thereon. For faster start-up, I advise that you keep two shortcuts on your desktop - one to load up Firefox as normal, and this new one to execute only when you want to change profile.
