"Praise You In This Storm" -Casting Crowns


-----------------------------------------------------------------
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

V model

The V-model is a software development model which can be presumed to be the extension of the waterfall model. Instead of moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical V shape. The V-Model demonstrates the relationships between each phase of the development life cycle and its associated phase of testing.





Verification Phases


  1. Requirements analysis:
    In this phase, the requirements of the proposed system are collected by analyzing the needs of the user(s). This phase is concerned about establishing what the ideal system has to perform. However, it does not determine how the software will be designed or built. Usually, the users are interviewed and a document called the user requirements document is generated. The user requirements document will typically describe the system’s functional, physical, interface, performance, data, security requirements etc as expected by the user. It is one which the business analysts use to communicate their understanding of the system back to the users. The users carefully review this document as this document would serve as the guideline for the system designers in the system design phase. The user acceptance tests are designed in this phase.
  2. System Design:
    System engineers analyze and understand the business of the proposed system by studying the user requirements document. They figure out possibilities and techniques by which the user requirements can be implemented. If any of the requirements are not feasible, the user is informed of the issue. A resolution is found and the user requirement document is edited accordingly.

    The software specification document which serves as a blueprint for the development phase is generated. This document contains the general system organization, menu structures, data structures etc. It may also hold example business scenarios, sample windows, reports for the better understanding. Other technical documentation like entity diagrams, data dictionary will also be produced in this phase. The documents for system testing is prepared in this phase.
  3. Architecture Design:
    This phase can also be called as high-level design. The baseline in selecting the architecture is that it should realize all which typically consists of the list of modules, brief functionality of each module, their interface relationships, dependencies, database tables, architecture diagrams, technology details etc. The integration testing design is carried out in this phase.
  4. Module Design:
    This phase can also be called as low-level design. The designed system is broken up in to smaller units or modules and each of them is explained so that the programmer can start coding directly. The low level design document or program specifications will contain a detailed functional logic of the module, in pseudocode - database tables, with all elements, including their type and size - all interface details with complete API references- all dependency issues- error message listings- complete input and outputs for a module. The unit test design is developed in this stage.

The feeling

How shall I express you this feeling? I don’t know. A feeling that breaks all the bonds, and screams “Just Do It”. This is the feeling that pumps a huge dose of adrenaline in my blood, and then it is like Nirvana. Everything seems possible when I see myself in the Olive green uniform. This is the uniform that screams pride and commands respect. Yes you guessed it right. It is the army uniform.
I was always inspired by the Indian Army. It all started at my fifth birthday, when I got a replica of an M 16 carbine and an army fatigue dress, complete with the boot and the cap, as my birthday gift. Since then I have been breeding this feeling in me. With time I grew up, with me grew up this feeling, and I also developed a feeling of respect for my great country, India. I read history; I came to know more about my great country and the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for this country. I found that all the freedom fighters were all together different from each other, but they had something in common. The thing that they had in common was this feeling, the same feeling that I breed in me.
I told my family and my friends about this feeling of mine, they derelict it, they mocked me. It seemed, like nobody understood this feeling, except me. But my was mind was clear, my goals and priorities were set. I understood that getting in to the olive green was not easy. There was a long way to go. I may fall down, I might be hurt, I may be mocked by many, and many barriers may come in my way. I may feel like I am going through hell, but I will not stop. I will always have God leading me in my way and this feeling in me, which will keep me going. God willing, one day I reach my destination and this journey will end, that day you will see me in the ‘olive greens’ and stars shining on my shoulders. JAI HIND!
