1. What is budgeting?

Budgeting is the process of creating a plan to spend money. Budgeting for an even is the process of creating a plan for all projected expenses related to an event, thereby allowing the event financer to allocate funding for it.

An event budget is, therefore, a projection (forecast) of the income and expenditure that the event will incur based on plans made and information gathered.

2. Why is it important?

Keeping an event budget will help you stay organized and prepared for any client inquiry - and help you avoid going over budget.

In the initial planning phase, the development of a budget helps to establish whether the event will be viable, It’ll give an idea whether total revenues will cover total...

Whether you know it by its current name, or its historic names Byzantium and Constantinople, Istanbul is a unique city that sits on two different continents at once.

10. Walls of Constantinople

These are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great.
With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built.

Introduction

During my stay here in Ludhiana, on more than one occasion, I’ve come across fellow students discussing or talking about movies they’d downloaded (or were about to) off the internet (via p2p or some ripper community site). That’s fine and all, until the issue of quality comes into discussion. I’m talking about the glaring misconception that HD = high quality.

The purpose of this post isn’t just to point out the misconception. No, I’d like to go the extra step of laying out what various terminology used in those file names mean, and what you should be looking for when you’re looking for a high quality ‘rip’.

The naming scheme

There’s a standard naming scheme used by the warez scene. It is:
Title.Of.The.Movie.YEAR.Source.Codec-GROUP
Occasionally, the video resolution may be added before the Source, and subtitle info may be added after the codec.

What determines quality

For the past couple of months, I’ve been an Insider with Microsoft for Windows 10 Mobile - the OS that is about to be released to the public in a matter of days. Think of this as a review of sorts, where I will be putting the OS through its paces on my Lumia 735.

Significant Changes

The OS, if you’re updating from WP8.1, has many changes. A long, more complete list of changes can be found at NokiaPowerUser. Below are the most significant changes and features.

• Continuum - A feature only found in the Windows 10 flagship models - Lumia 950 and 950 XL, this allows you to connect to an external screen, keyboard as well as pointing device and turn that screen into a PC interface. At its simplest, this involves connecting wirelessly to a TV through MiraCast, and using the phone as a keyboard and a trackpad. Alternatively, Microsoft’s Display Dock can be used to connect to TVs that don’t...

When Windows Phone 7 was released with its fresh new metro interface, there was a notable lack of customizability. The start screen was made of tiles that came in 2 sizes, both of which were space consuming. The background was either black or white, and the tiles could only be one of few preset theme colors.
With Windows Phone 8, and the introduction of smaller, icon-sized tiles, one of the issues was solved, but that still left a lot to be desired. Users were still unable have a background the way they could with Windows 8.

Enter Theme Apps

Apps like Shining Themes and Skinery Themes capitalized on this gap, and essentially allow the user to customize the look of their start screens to be quite attractive. However, being third party apps utilizing a walk-around to achieve the effect, they were quite troublesome to set up, and were limited in ability. They pinned a set of custom...
