Dorcas Society | the Thanksgiving

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

A Dorcas Society is a local group of people, usually based in a church, with a mission of providing clothing to the poor.

The original society was founded in Douglas, Isle of Man on December 1, 1834, as part of the community’s thanksgiving for being spared from an outbreak of cholera. The poorer families in town had their clothes and bedding destroyed as part of the effort to prevent the disease. Today there are other Dorcas societies around the world, providing clothing and other physical needs.

The society is named after a character (Tabitha, also called Dorcas) described in the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 9, v. 36).

The site, owned by Mr. Jehangir Kothari, an eminent Karachi citizen, who gifted it along with a handsome donation Rs. 300,000 to the Municipality for the development of recreational facilities. The foundation stone was laid by the Governor of Bombay, Sir George Lloyd on 10th February, 1919 and formally opened by Lady Lloyd on 5th January, 1920. The Lady Lloyd Pier was also opened by her on 21st March, 1921.

The Kiosk at one end of the parade, with its elliptical roof structure, built in Jodhpur stone, has an octagonal seat in the center and was used as a Bandstand in yester-years. The pier is 1300 ft long, 15 ft wide and ends in a 70 ft by 50 ft sea-side Pavilion constructed on piles. Gizri limestone and Jodhpur stone were used for its construction.

Security Event Manager | Events In

Friday, May 9th, 2008

A Security Event Manager (SEM) is a computerized tool used on enterprise data networks to centralize the storage and interpretation of logs, or events, generated by other software running on the network.

SEMs are a relatively new idea, pioneered in 1999 by a small company called e-Security, and in late 2005 are still evolving rapidly. Just a year or two ago they were called Security Information Managers (SIMs)[1] and are also called Security Information and Event Managers (SIEMs). SEMs can help satisfy U.S. regulatory requirements such as those of
Sarbanes-Oxley
which require (among other things) that certain events, such as accesses to systems and modifications to data, be logged and that the logs be kept for a specified period of time.

Many systems and applications which run on a computer network generate events which are kept in event logs. These logs are essentially lists of events, with records of new events being appended to the end of the logs as they occur. Well-defined protocols, such as Syslog and SNMP, can be used to transport these events, as they occur, to logging software that is not on the same host on which the events are generated.

It is beneficial to send all events to a centralized SEM system for the following reasons:

  • Access to all logs can be provided through a consistent central interface
  • The SEM can provide secure, forensically sound storage and archival of event logs
  • Powerful reporting tools can be run on the SEM to mine the logs for useful information
  • Events can be parsed as they hit the SEM for significance, and alerts and notifications can be immediately sent out to interested parties as warranted
  • Related events which occur on multiple systems can be detected which would be impossible to detect if each system had a separate log
  • Events which are sent from a system to a SEM remain on the SEM even if the sending system fails or the logs on it are accidentally or intentionally erased

Parker v. South Eastern Railway Company | ticket

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Parker v South Eastern Railway (1877) 2 CPD 416 is a famous English contract law case on exclusion clauses where the court held that an individual cannot escape a contractual term by failing to read the contract but that a party wanting to rely on an exclusion clause must take reasonable steps to bring it to the attention of the customer.

Contents


Background

Mr. Parker left a bag in the cloakroom of a railway station. On depositing his bag and paying two pence he received a ticket, which, on its back, stated that the railway was excluded from liability for items worth £10 or more. Parker failed to read the clause as he thought the ticket was only a receipt of payment. (However, he admitted that he knew the ticket contained writing.) The question of law put to the court was whether the clause applied to Parker. At trial the jury found for Mr. Parker as it was reasonable for him not to read the ticket.


Judgment

The Court held that if Parker was aware the ticket contained writing, Mr. Parker would presumed to know of the existence of the clause. However, it also ruled that the railway must have shown that it went to reasonable efforts to bring the condition to Mr. Parker’s attention. The Court ordered a retrial for the jury to consider whether reasonable notice was given.

Butter cookie | Cookies and Hot

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Butter cookies, known as Brysslkex, sablès and Dutch biscuits, are unleavened cookies consisting of butter, flour and sugar. They are often categorized as a “crisp cookie” due to their texture, caused in part because of the quantity of butter and sugar. It is generally necessary to chill the dough to enable proper manipulation and handling. Butter cookies at their most basic have no flavoring, but they are often flavored with vanilla and chocolate. They also come in a variety of shapes such as circles, squares and ovals, and appearances, including marbled, checkered or plain. In some parts of the world such as Australia, these are often served around Christmas time.

Gadget’s Go Coaster | Mickey’s

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Gadget’s Go Coaster is a roller coaster at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California and Tokyo Disneyland theme park, located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, near Tokyo. The ride is based on the work of the popular character Gadget Hackwrench from the 1989 Walt Disney Television Animation cartoon, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers

Both versions of the attraction are located in Mickey’s Toontown, and the Disneyland version opened January 23, 1993, along with the Mickey’s Toontown area. The Tokyo Disneyland version opened on April 15, 1996.

Contents


Ride

The Go Coaster is primarily for children and therefore has very small cars. While two children can easily fit into a single car, most adults would have to travel alone (or with a small child). Guests board a train fashioned from acorns and scavenged parts. Guests travel through Gadget’s salvaged old comb, soup can and thread spool, and over a small lake.

Sides of an equation | B-Side Ho! Ho! Ho!

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

In mathematics, LHS is informal shorthand for the left-hand side of an equation. Similarly, RHS is the right-hand side. Each is solely a name for a term as part of an expression; and they are in practice interchangeable, since equality is symmetric. This abbreviation is seldom if ever used in print; it is very informal.

More generally, these terms may apply to an inequation or inequality. In the inequality case, there is no symmetry. The right-hand side is everything on the right side of a test operator in an expression. Conversely, the left-hand side is everything on the left side.

Contents


Some examples

In

2a + 5 = a/3,

the term

a/3

is the RHS.

In

x ≤ 10,

just

10

is the RHS.


Homogeneous and inhomogeneous equations

In solving mathematical equations, particularly linear simultaneous equations, differential equations and integral equations, the terminology homogeneous is often used for equations with the RHS set equal to zero. The corresponding inhomogeneous or nonhomogeneous equation then has the RHS with some given data, but of a general character.

The typical case is of some operator L, with the difference being that between the equation

Lf = 0,

to be solved for a function f, and the equation

Lf = g,

with g a fixed function, to solve again for f. The point of the terminology appears for L a linear operator. Then any solution of the inhomogeneous equation may have a solution of the homogeneous equation added to it, and still remain a solution.

For example in mathematical physics, the homogeneous equation may correspond to a physical theory formulated in empty space, while the inhomogeneous equation asks for more ‘realistic’ solutions with some matter, or charged particles.


Syntax

More abstractly, when using infix notation

T*U

the term T stands as the left-hand side and U as the right-hand side of the operator *. This usage is less common, though.

Wintry showers | Snow on Main

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Wintry showers is a somewhat informal meteorological term, used primarily in the United Kingdom, to refer to various mixtures of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow. Professional meteorologists tend to shy away from using the term under any circumstances, but radio and television weather reporters use it regularly, the same way wintry mix is used in the United States.

Though no “official” criteria exist for the term, it is not used when any accumulation of snow on the ground takes place. It is often used when the temperature of the ground surface is above 0°C, preventing accumulation from occurring even if the air temperature is marginally below 0°C; but even then the falling precipitation must generally be something other than consisting exclusively of snow.

Mahatma Gandhi Road, Bangalore | Hit Parade II

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Mahatma Gandhi Road (M.G. Road) in Bangalore, India, was called “South Parade” in British times and renamed post independence. Many Indian cities (including New Delhi and Mumbai) have an M.G. Road, and in general there is no linkage between these various roads (except that in many cases, these happen to be the busiest part of the city).


Commercial

Along with retail stores and food outlets, M.G. Road is also home to a large number of financial institutions like Canara Bank, ING Vysya, Vijaya Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Citibank, HSBC, Scotia Bank, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, UTI Bank, Deutsche Bank, etc. On its Trinity circle end are located some of the Bangalore’s best hotels like The Oberoi and the Taj Residency. Presently M.G. Road is being improved and prepared for the long-awaited Metro Rail line that connects the eastern part of Bangalore with the west.
