    • 10 Pages

    International River Network and Bujagali Dam Project Uganda, a country based in Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. Less than 5% of the population of Uganda has access to electricity more because of poverty and low creditability and less because of lack of electricity.AES is considered to be one of the biggest companies in the world and the largest independent power producer is going to construct $530-million dam near Bujagali Falls on the Nile.

    Wabi Sabi

    • 4 Pages

    Wabi-Sabi(侘寂) is a Japanese understanding of beauty or worldview that is widely used for describing art, places, people, and other kind situations. Wabi-Sabi aesthetic includes simplicity, plainness, quietness, harmony and intimacy. Wabi-Sabi comes from two different words. Wabi comes from the word Wabishii(侘しい), which means deprived, empty, or drearily. Wabi originally meant something discouraging. However, it changed to aesthetic when Japanese was strongly influenced by the idea of Zen. Original ward for Sabi is Sabishii(寂しい), which represent loneliness, not satisfied, or unaccompanied. Sabi also indicates how the things are deteriorated from passing the time. Sabishii also has somewhat discouraging meanings. However, from around twelfth century, Japanese became to think that things like old books or old trees covered with lichen are thought provoking. This idea is fairly close to the aesthetic of the antique of the western culture. Although the original words have negative meanings, when two words are combined, it makes affirmative, elegant meanings. Nowadays, most of the traditional Japanese art is based on the idea of Wabi-Sabi.…

    • 3 Pages

    The bansuri (Hindi: बांसुरी, Urdu: بانسری‎, Nepali: बाँसुरी, Marathi: बासरी, Assamese: বাঁহী, Bengali: বাঁশি) is a transverse flute of South Asiamade from a single hollow shaft of bamboo with six or seven finger holes. An ancient musical instrument associated with cowherds and the pastoral tradition, it is intimately linked to the love story of Krishna and Radha and is also depicted in Buddhist paintings from around 100 CE. The Bansuri is revered as Lord Krishna's divine instrument and is often associated with Krishna's Rasa lila; mythological accounts tell of the tunes of Krishna's flute having a spellbinding and enthralling effect not only on the women of theBraj, but even on the animals of the region. The North Indian bansuri, typically about 14 inches in length, was traditionally used as a soprano instrument primarily for accompaniment in lighter compositions including film music. The bass variety (approximately 30", tonic E3 at A440Hz), pioneered by Pannalal Ghosh has now been indispensable in Hindustani Classical music for well over half a century. Bansuris range in size from less than 12" to nearly 40".…

    In 11th century Samarkand, powerful male figureheads controlled regions. Politically, these strong male leaders controlled all aspects of daily living within the region of their domination and molded society to ways that they saw fit. Culturally, women were unable to show their faces and were forced to cover with their faces with veils and cover the rest of their bodies with long dresses so as not to show themselves to any men. Generally in this region, the suppression of women and allowing them to think and act on their own free will has been part of Samarkand culture for generations. Samarkand by Amin Maalouf accurately shows how during this time, women such as Jahan, Shireen and even the Sultana were dominated by men.…
