The computer algorithms powering Robopoem analyze INPUT words to determine their rhythmic structure and rhyming characteristics. Based on these properties, a random selection is made from a pool of potential words which have the desired syllable counts and rhyming structure as requested by the user in a Settings panel : R "WORK" THE GREATEST BENEFACTOR —Mrs. Bhavna Sangamnerkar, (HOD of IT) WORK God created man to Work Work is man's greatest duty Man is nothing He can do nothing Achieve nothing, Fulfill nothing Without Working Work is man's most dependable function If you are Poor Work If you are Rich Work If failure discourages you Work If success encourages you Work Poem-generating algorithms: (left to right) • • • Regular Poem : Mixes user input and a random sampling of words from a variety of sources Shake It! : Mixes user input with random samples from William Shakespeare's plays Jabberwock : Builds a poem with user words mixed with random selections from a database of nonsense words.

ARTICLES COMPANY LOGOS AND THEIR MEANINGS —Nitika Newar & Rajni Sharma (Faculty-IT) Wondered what company logos mean and what is the significance behind them? Wonder no more! You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep. Paul Rand (who designed the iconic IBM logo in 1972) designed this 'eye bee M' logo in 1981. I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo, unlike certain other companies who do not like the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction.
