Friday 13th June' - NO PETROL DAY

Dear Friends !!!

Petrol in Pakistan
Rs. 17 per litre
Malaysia
Rs. 18 per litre
In India it's
Rs. 48 per litre
In Sri Lanka it is
Rs. 157 per litre

Why this difference in Asia itself?

World Market CRUDE Oil is not
the reason for this.
It's all Gain for private owners?
As we are the general public, or
Common Man as R.K.Laxman would
have said, we have to raise our voice,
let's raise thru Emails.

Forward this to all

Indians and Sri Lankans who cares.

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF

EVERYONE DID NOT PURCHASE A
DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY
AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME,
THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD
CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT

THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A
NET LOSS OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS
WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES
OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

THEREFORE 'Friday 13th June'

HAS BEEN DECLARED
'STICK IT UP THEIR BEHIND' DAY
AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION
SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP
OF PETROL THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS

IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS
MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS
QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE
WORD OUT. WAITING ON THE
GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND
CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN.

REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY
IS THE PRICE OF PETROL GOING UP
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES,
TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED
TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH AFFECTS
PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS

SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES
ETC.

WHO PAYS IN THE END?

WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE
AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT
AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO DO YOUR
PART AND SPREAD THE WORD.
FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO
EVERYONE YOU KNOW .
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE
June 13th A DAY THAT THE
CITIZENS SAY


'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'


We forward so many junk email to

many of our friends, now let us do it
for some useful cause to cut down the
price of the petrol .. ....

REMEMBER :

Resetting the MYSQL Root Password on Windows Systems

Use the following procedure for resetting the password for any MySQL root accounts on Windows:

  1. Log on to your system as Administrator.

  2. Stop the MySQL server if it is running. For a server that is running as a Windows service, go to the Services manager:

    Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

    Then find the MySQL service in the list, and stop it.

    If your server is not running as a service, you may need to use the Task Manager to force it to stop.

  3. Create a text file and place the following statements in it. Replace the password with the password that you want to use.

    UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    The UPDATE and FLUSH statements each must be written on a single line. The UPDATE statement resets the password for all existing root accounts, and the FLUSH statement tells the server to reload the grant tables into memory.

  4. Save the file. For this example, the file will be named C:\mysql-init.txt.

  5. Open a console window to get to the command prompt:

    Start Menu -> Run -> cmd
  6. Start the MySQL server with the special --init-file option:

    C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt 

    If you installed MySQL to a location other than C:\mysql, adjust the command accordingly.

    The server executes the contents of the file named by the --init-file option at startup, changing each root account password.

    You can also add the --console option to the command if you want server output to appear in the console window rather than in a log file.

    If you installed MySQL using the MySQL Installation Wizard, you may need to specify a --defaults-file option:

    C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe"
    --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini"
    --init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt

    The appropriate --defaults-file setting can be found using the Services Manager:

    Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

    Find the MySQL service in the list, right-click on it, and choose the Properties option. The Path to executable field contains the --defaults-file setting.

  7. After the server has started successfully, delete C:\mysql-init.txt.

  8. Stop the MySQL server, then restart it in normal mode again. If you run the server as a service, start it from the Windows Services window. If you start the server manually, use whatever command you normally use.

What is SGML?

SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a language for defining markup languages such as HTML and for specifying the rules for tagging elements in a document. SGML itself is not a markup language; rather, it is a language to create markup languages. SGML supports the definition of markup languages that are hardware- and software-independent. SGML was developed and standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which published it in 1986. Because of SGML's complexity, HTML and XML were developed as simplified subsets of SGML for use on the Internet.

Some SGML history

In 1969, Charles Goldfarb leads an IBM research project on integrated law office information systems. With E. Mosher and R. Lorie he invented the Generalized Markup Language (GML) as a means of allowing text editing, formatting, and information retrieval subsystems to share documents.

The first working draft of the SGML standard was published in 1980 by ANSI. By 1983, the sixth working draft is recommended as an industry standard (GCA 101-1983). Major adopters included US IRS and DoD.

A draft ISO standard was published in October 1985, and was adopted by the Office of Official Publications of the EU. Another year of review and comment resulted in the final text, which was published in record time after approval (ISO 8879:1986)

Characteristics of SGML

Descriptive Markup
  • Markup codes categorize parts of a document; they do not tell what processing is to be carried out at particular points in a document (procedural markup).

    E.g.:

    • ``the following item is a paragraph''
    • ``skip down one line, move 5 quads right''

    In SGML, instructions needed to process a document for some particular purpose (for example, to format it) are sharply distinguished from the descriptive markup which occurs within the document. Usually, they are collected outside the document in separate procedures or programs.

  • Document Types

    Documents are regarded as having types, and these are expressed by document type definitions (DTD), which enforce markup for that document type.

  • Data Independence

    SGML encoded documents should be transportable from one hardware and software environment to another without loss of information: platforms differ in character sets, file-naming conventions, interpretation of bytes...

    SGML provides a general purpose mechanism for string substitution, that is, a simple machine-independent way of stating that a particular string of characters in the document should be replaced by some other string when the document is processed.

How Do ATMs Work?


An ATM is simply a data terminal with two input and four output devices. Like any other data terminal, the ATM has to connect to, and communicate through, a host processor. The host processor is analogous to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in that it is the gateway through which all the various ATM networks become available to the cardholder (the person wanting the cash).

Most host processors can support either leased-line or dial-up machines. Leased-line machines connect directly to the host processor through a four-wire, point-to-point, dedicated telephone line. Dial-up ATMs connect to the host processor through a normal phone line using a modem and a toll-free number, or through an Internet service provider using a local access number dialed by modem.

Leased-line ATMs are preferred for very high-volume locations because of their thru-put capability, and dial-up ATMs are preferred for retail merchant locations where cost is a greater factor than thru-put. The initial cost for a dial-up machine is less than half that for a leased-line machine. The monthly operating costs for dial-up are only a fraction of the costs for leased-line.

The host processor may be owned by a bank or financial institution, or it may be owned by an independent service provider. Bank-owned processors normally support only bank-owned machines, whereas the independent processors support merchant-owned machines.

Run Your Car on Water - Is it Possible?

People see cars as ultimate necessities. Who would not wish for his own car when in fact it is really hard to commute on a day to day basis? However, because of the escalating demand for cars, the price of gas which is very much significant to fuel these vehicles also rises. Are you not getting tired of the continuous changes in the cost of gas? More so, a recent innovation called water energy has been found out to bear the capacity of making cars operate. Yes, you got it right! You can run your car on water!

Is it unbelievable? The media has been quite attentive to this discovery as several video clips and news bits have been aired by numerous television channels, broadsheets have printed out the news, and the radio networks have likewise highlighted it and yet, the people remain a bit skeptical about its truth. Accept it. Water energy can thus be possibly generated.

Cars run when there is an energy supplied to its overall system. Moreover, the society has been accustomed to using fossil fuel to energize these vehicles. On the other hand, water is most popularly known by the term "hydro-power". China had already introduced its hydro-powered generator in the past years and it had been widely accepted by the public. Needless to say, it is high time that all and sundry must realize the truth to the usefulness of water in running a car.


A group of scientists had concerted their efforts of unearthing the possibility of generating water fuel and luckily, their efforts had paid off after a span of twenty years. They uncovered that with the use of the so called electrolysis, water can thus be transformed into a flammable gas that is known as Oxyhydrogen. Surprisingly, cars can utilize water energy in its general function with the electrolysis method applied to the battery and engine.

Here are some insights that would convince you that you can indeed make your car run with the use of water.


First and foremost, its possibility can never be questioned since water itself is a molecule thereby its element components may be rearranged through the employment of electricity. Hence, the electricity present in the car battery will be used to rearrange the molecule of water and convert it to Brown's gas or Oxyhydrogen.


Then, if you try to look deeper into the application of the so called Oxyhydrogen, you will find out that your car's engine can definitely produce a flammable gas out of water. Furthermore, you will have to bear such a low cost.

Lastly, Oxyhydrogen is nowadays used in several applications and industiral fields such as in cutting glass and in welding metals. Thus, water energy can surely make a car move.

However, you can't just modify your vehicle on your own. You will need an expert to impose the latest technological breakthrough onto your car. It is either you bring your car to the people who apply the electrolysis process or educate yourself by searching for some tips from the reliable online sources.

Overall, today's technology has gone a long way. Who would ever imagine that this thing can be made possible? Certainly not those who lived in the primitive age! But, you are enveloped in such a modern world so believe it or not, you can run your car on water!
