Music pervades all nature. It is co-eval with the creation. There is nothing in nature that arouses our attention or affects our feelings as quickly as a sound can. The murmuring of the water, the whispers of the evening breeze, the roar of the storms, the chirping of the birds etc., contain in them the germs of Music. Music is one of the God given gifts to humanity.

जीवन यशस्वीपणे जगायचे असेल, तर प्रत्यक व्यक्तीला समायोजन साधत आले पाहजे. प्रत्यक गोष्ट ही आपल्य मनासारखी होईल असे नाही. प्रत्येक वेळी आपल्यला हवी असलेली वस्तू किंवा गरज पूर्ण होईलच असे नाही . जीवनात जेव्हा जेव्हा संघर्ष निर्माण होतो. त्या वेळी व्यक्ती आपल्याकुवतीनुसार तो संघर्ष सोडविण्यासाठी प्रयत्न करीत असतात व परीस्थितीशी जुळवून समायोजन साधातात. उदा. बसमधून प्रवास करीत असताना गर्दी असते. आपण जेव्हा बसमध्ये उभे असतो मग हळूहळू सेजारी बसलेल्य व्यक्तीबरोबर किरकोळ गप्पा मारायला सुरवात करतो. थोडासा त्या व्यक्तीच्या परिचय करून घेण्याचा प्रयत्न करतो .

A most controversial topic in abnormal psychology is gender identity disorder (GID). In this paper, we throw light on this disorder and explore the research direction in this regard by discussing its definition, diagnosis, distinction between sex and gender, distinction between transgender and transsexual, its etiology and epidemeology, and its debatable issues. This discussion is required and meaningful for widespread dissemination for two reasons. First, we must accept this phenomenon in light of one's quest for sex-gender harmonization. Secondly, we must examine whether the social accusations against the transgendered community are right.

The rapid growth of electronic commerce provides a challenge for marketers because "...as consumers adopt new technologies, their behaviours change". Understanding how companies should interact with their customers and deliver services in electronic environment is of decisive importance. Consumer's use of mobile communication devices is increasing rapidly, and devices based on new technology are now commonplace in everyday life. The demand for mobile devices – equipment such as cell phones, PDAs, and digital music players that are typically used on an anytime, anywhere basis without being connected by wires – and services that use these mobile devices (mobile services) is growing rapidly worldwide. Amid such a surge in markets for mobile devices and applications, mobile marketing – the set of marketing initiatives that use mobile devices and media (the vehicles of communication that involve mobile devices) – is gaining importance. Mobile marketing is an emerging topic of interest to both academics and practitioners.

This paper aims for two objectives, first, to analyse the behaviour and structure of international wheat prices and second, to give a overview of forecasting techniques and tests used in today's forecasting research. We have used Time Series Techniques to characterise the behaviour of the wheat prices and do a year ahead ex-post forecast. We have conducted stationary tests, used ARIMA model to describe the pattern of the series. We also did diagnostic checking, like ARCH, Serial Correlation Lm test, Ramsey RESET test, CUSUM test, Normality of errors and recursive estimation of coefficients. With the model developed we predict a year ahead forecast which gives a good forecast.

Education, as you are aware, is vital to the human resources development and empowerment in the stages of growth of a nation. In any education system, higher education encompassing Management, Engineering, Medicines etc., plays a major role in imparting knowledge, values, and developing skills and, in the process, increase the growth and productivity of the nation. While the Government is committed to providing primary education and certain facilities/subsidies for higher education, given the higher cost involved in the establishment of higher education institutes, we are witnessing the entry of private sector to run educational institutions. While discussing the importance of education, I must state that schools have become the most important means of transforming wealth of knowledge and skills from one generation to another. However, the role of institutions becomes more challenging in the modern world with innovations and technological developments. Investment in education and educational institutions should be viewed as an investment for economic prosperity. In India, there are about 26,478 institutions providing higher education and accounting for the largest number in the world. In comparison, according to a report1, in 2010, the U.S. had only 6,706 higher education schools and China had 4,000. It is important that given the large number of schools of higher learning in India, we must target to bring more students under the system. Investment in human capital, lifelong learning and quality education help in the development of society and nation.
