These tests were performed by running a tastephone midlet to the mobile handset to determine its characteristics and the equivalent implementation.Compatibility check test was also aimed to help a specified mobile game application to run successfully into a mobile phone. Compatibility heuristics for modern mobile games was also designed to study the factors that should be considered before integrating mobile games to mobile handsets. These applications are identified to determine optimal reliability and to utilize defect counts to the respective devices. This document also discusses on identifying the criteria for determining compliance of a mobile phone with the specification of the game application. The test case for this document outlines practices for testing a managed game application or component for compatibility with newer and older mobile handset versions. It covers different configurations you should test to ensure that the application continues to run properly and successfully. It also discusses features of a good mobile game. The result of the test case was to determine whether a game fully runs as proclaimed to function with a particular mobile component. The results also indicate the game compliance to a mobile phone to uncover flawed hardware and application programming interfaces combinations that decrease the game’s ability to function properly

Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: Thika Municipality, Kiambu County, Kenya Subjects: Eighty nine (89) participants were enrolled in the study. Ten (10) Key Informant Interviews were conducted among the security personnel, health officers, managers and supervisors. Results: Out of the 89 outlet operators enrolled in the study, (70.8%) among the respondents were not aware of the alcohol control act. Association between marital status and non adherence of the act was significant (p=0.003). There was low knowledge of 5.6%, who were aware of when the alcohol act was implemented, majority who totaled to 70.8% were not aware on when the alcohol control policy came into existence. Majority of the respondent 62.9% reported not to adhere to the alcohol control act of 2010; also the study showed that 57.3% of the res...

Music is a permanent feature of the human society because of its ability to evoke emotions, both pleasant and negative, and influence moods. There numerous studies investigating emotions in music. Music enhances certain activities in the brain such as memories and reflection which affects one’s feelings. Music elicits emotions of joy, sadness, wonder, nostalgia, and tenderness. Because of its ability to influence emotions, music is being tried in neurological and psychiatric disease therapy. Despite its potential, there is little theoretical explanations about music-evolved emotions. This work gives various viewpoints about emotions in music.

It employs over 36 percent of UK labour force and account for more than 47 percent of the turnover of the private sectors (DTI 2007). Yet, HRM practices are not popular in the SMEs (Cassell et al. 2002). Woodham et al. 2004 found that most HRM practices are applicable to all types of business. This report explores the case for diversity in the workforce. Diversity refers to differences because of race, age, religion, sex, physical abilities, attitudes, expectations, flexibility, life interests, aggressiveness, extroversion, among others.

Charles Darwin proved that life has evolved over the years through his natural selection theory. For many years, the natural selection theory stood unchallenged, and many scholars were convinced that evolution was necessitated by survival antics. However, Darwin cannot be used to explain the why the Homo sapiens sapiens is the only alive species of the Homo genus today. This paper analysis various archeological finding with an aim to explain the existence of the modern man. It suggests that the evolution the modern is a result of the behavioral patterns and ecological conditions that existed in the Pleistocene times.
