Acknowledgement

Great work can never be done alone. It is always by the support of friends and
family. An opportunity such as this should be used for such purpose. I am in very much
indebted to everyone especially to our Almighty God whose guidance, mercy and love
was felt all throughout my life and not just during the creation of this book. My battle
cry for this whole ordeal is what the Holy Book said I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me. Your grace had proven true all my days and I thank You.

Thanking my family is very much in order. To my tireless parents who equally

lose sleep with me as I toil for this work, my heartfelt thanks. For every cup of coffee
prepared for me as I drudge nightly for this work, my ever present thank you. I can
never do this without your help and encouragement.

To the brilliant minds of the people who helped me through

.

Thank you,
