Some Information about Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is one of the few countries in the world which were flattered to deceive by their temporarily so called economic boom in the early nineties. Zimbabwe of today is one of the embarrassing place to live in the world considering the fact that their currency, their health care system and their useless government. Their current president Mr.Robert Mugabe is the sole person who should be blamed for all the hardships being faced by the country and it's people. Since assuming the office of the president Mr.Mugabe has done everything to ensure that Zimbabwe's national economy is in shambles.Mr.Mugabe's government is responsible for the collapse of the health, water and sanitation systems and violating human rights. Further the Zimbabwean bank recently released one trillion bank note. The inflation rate has been soaring over the sky for the last few years and the country's people barring the elite people of the country, no one has access to health care and other facilities. Further the soaring inflation means that the country's dollar value is never stable. Many people are forced to walk to their workplace miles away because they cannot afford the cost of traveling by a bus. Further the collapse of the health care system results in many of the Zimbabwean peoples death due to lack of medical care. If only Zimbabwe is saved from its power hungry political bosses, it’s people will get a new lease of life.

My Java Mechanism

The working of my virtual defense mechanism is rather simple. In the server side many web pages are created by JSP, Servlets, then the host searches for the corresponding requested URL & encrypts by using the sender’s public key and send to the client. The client receives the encrypted server responsed page and decrypts using its own Private key. Finally displays the message in the browser. In the clientside using CoreJava we implement the cryptography RSA Algorithm and generate the Private key as well as Public key. All the client-server technologies are implemented in the Java networking. In the serverside we create the web sites using JSP, Servlets ; at the server-side we also implement multithreading concept for response of more number of clients . Java Swing is used to design the user interface in the client and server side.

About Fiction

It is not only about being popular or literary.....it is more about the use of language...for instance I love Maugham's style of writing, but today only very few can appreciate that kind of language with those long sentences......it would definitely drive away most of the lovers of popular fiction. However, it cannot be denied that the popular fiction of today is potentially the literary fiction of tomorrow. Ultimately, the writing styles change with the vicissitudes of time. Most modern day authors write to satiate the desires of their audiences, and not simply because of love for the subject. Economics determine to a large extent the writing styles which authors must dogmatically cater to.Secondly, few authors possess the versatility to dish out different varieties of literary experiences. The same old monotonous drag is conspicuous in the writings of these populist authors. And their loyal (read dependent and addicted) audience just laps it up.Finally, I must admit that literary tastes are ultimately subjective in themselves, and although there is an inter-subjective realm which is evaluative of the best writers, one cannot deny that an absolute objective literary masterpiece just does not exist except in the ramblings of book critics.For instance, some noble prize winners are indeed more, noble than others.So, to sum it up, I would preferably absolve myself of castigating popular fiction and extolling its literary counterparts because to differentiate them into water tight compartments will result in equivocal results.
