The Network Time Protocol is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems more than packet-switched, variable-latency information networks. NTP uses UDP port 123 as its transport layer. It is designed mainly to resist the effects of variable latency. NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols still now. NTP was originally designed by Dave Mills of the University of Delaware, who still maintains it, beside with a team of volunteers.

The Bay of Bengal
0 commentsThe Bay of Bengal is a bay that forms the northeastern ingredient of the Indian Ocean. It resembles a triangle in form, and is bordered on the east by Malay Peninsula, and on the west by India. On the northern pour of the "bay" lies the Bengal region, comprising the Indian state of West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh, thus the name. The southern extremes arrive at the island country of Sri Lanka, and the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Bay of Bengal occupies an region of 2,172,000 km². It is bounded by India and Sri Lanka to the West, Bangladesh to the North, and Myanmar and the southern part of Thailand to the East. Its southern border extends as an imaginary line from Dondra Head at the southern end of Sri Lanka to the northern tip of Sumatra. A number of huge rivers – Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna and Cauvery – flow into the Bay of Bengal. Among the vital ports are Yangon, Kolkata/Calcutta, Chittagong, Cuddalore, Kakinada, Machlipatnam, Madras, Paradip and Vishakapatnam.

Prevention
0 commentsIn medicine, prevention is any action which reduces the burden of humanity or morbidity from illness. This takes place at primary, secondary and tertiary prevention levels.
Primary prevention avoids the growth of a disease. Most population-based health support actions are primary preventive measures.Secondary prevention activities are intended at early disease detection, thereby increasing opportunities for interventions to prevent progression of the disease and emergence of symptoms.Tertiary prevention reduces the negative impact of an already recognized disease by restoring function and dipping disease-related complications.
