The main concern of the paper is to study the significance of women in family life. It explores the importance of women in the short story Parsakti and Others in a Plastic Box which is published in the collection, In a Forest a Deer written by C.S.Lakshmi. The story is discussed from a feminist perspective. Most of Ambai’s works reveal the lives of traditional women their feelings, love, courage, will- power, search for identity, selfrespect, equality and so on. This paper aims to explore the life of a traditional woman who has lost her husband, and is always caring for her daughter along with while carrying her own life. She’s interested in cooking and helping her neighbours, politics, playing veena and singing songs with a lot of easel. She is a frim establisher spirituality of her self-identity and hence wants to write her own biography. This paper defends the ideology of Amabi who affirms that women need equal consideration more from the family than from the society. The paper is significant in a way that it helps the readers to understand empirically the social constructivist and cultural glorification of womanhood in Parasakti and Others in a Plastic Box. The paper further stresses on the difference in understanding the very meaning of the word ‘Freedom’ between the two generations. It delineates how the younger generation calling out for their own freedom unconsciously hinder the freedom of the older generation people without understanding their values, sentiments and attachments. This article views these aspects through the medium of feminism and voices the inner-selves of fictional women out loud

Administering Interdenominational Competency class is a very common problem. Mostly, if not all, Language Classes contain students of mixed competency. This happens for a number of reasons, but mainly because of different learning styles, learning speed, variation in motivation, and very frequently as a result of logistic decisions as most solutions to the problems depend on cooperation between the members of the class. Co-operative learning may be the most thoroughly researched instructional method in education and rapidly growing body of research supports the effectiveness of the approach. Cooperatively taught students tend to have better and longer information retention, higher grades, more highly developed critical thinking and problem solving skills, more positive attitude towards the subject and greater motivation to learn. © IAEME Publication.

In this paper, HTML tags and attributes are used to determine different structural position of text in a web page. Tags- attributes based models are used to assign a weight to a text that exist in different structural position of web page. Genetic algorithms (GAs), harmony search (HS), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are used to select the informative terms using a novel tags-attributes and term frequency weighting scheme. These informative terms with heuristic weight give emphasis to important terms, qualifying how well they semantically explain a webpage and distinguish them from each other. The proposed approach is developed by customizing Terrier and tested over the Clueweb09B, WT10g, .GOV2 and uncontrolled data collections. The performance of the proposed approach is found to be encouraging against five baseline ranking models. The percentage gain of approach achieved is 75-90%, 70-83% and 43-60% in P@5, P@10 and MAP, respectively.

Developing Communicative Competence through Content-Based Instruction

Writing is the heart of academic life. The reason for this is that writing is the convenient mode of judging the students’ performance. A students’ academic performance can be easily judged through his writing skill. Hence it is considered as the heart of academic life. But the irony is that of all the four skills of L, S, R, W students lack in the writing skill the most. It is true that this skill takes time and practise to master, but it opens up countless opportunities across a lifetime. To master this skills Task-Based approach is more effective when compared to the traditional methods. Teaching writing through task-based approach will be friendly and fun for the students. This paper titled “A Task-Based Approach to develop the writing skills in English of students at college level” begins with the definitions of both writing and task-based approach and moves through the importance of writing and ends with the advantages of Task-Based approach. This paper proposes that the use of tasks in classroom setting can enhance the writing skills of students. © Research India Publications.

Facial emotion recognition using depth data

The central aim of my paper is to analyse the characters present in the novel Hullaballo in the Guava Orchard with regard to their middle class life. Sampath Chawla is the central character of the novel around which the situations and circumstances revolve. The paper advocates SampathChawla’s quest for identity, superstitious belief of the Shahkhot people and the greediness of middle-class family. Sampath appears as a representative of Indian youth generation who struggles hard for fulfilling his desires and dreams due to his middle-class condition. The novel appears as a typical Indian story with funny events and situations which could be seen in every day Indian scenario. Sampath is not happy with his job and he escapes from it and searches peace and harmony in the Guava Orchard. His aim is to earn money through his falsifying image as a saint. This attitude is found in many Indian youth who attain a false image inorder to earn their living. The entire family of Sampathsupports him finally though they reject it in the initial stage. Kiran Desai brilliantly depicts the realistic picture of Indian background in her novel. Thus the events in the storypaves way for analyzing the novel as an Indian middle-class family saga, since the family members play a vital role in reviving the life of SampathChawala. © Research India Publications.
