First, you need the framework, so go to http://framework.zend.com/download. There are many formats in which you can download.

I am expecting your zend application in a sub-directory of your domain or localhost. Construct the directory and file structure on your sub-directory. And paste library directory. You can find this directory under the unzipped file of zend framework.

There are only those files to be created, mentioned on the RHS of the image, while directories on the LHS. I have all my application and other stuffs in “zend” directory. In your later stage of development, you can make your directory structure as simple as you want to be, but for initial stage, let it be like this.

Here are the contents of the files:

1. .htaccess 

RewriteEngine on 

RewriteBase /zend/ 

RewriteRule !\.(js|css|ico|gif|jpg|png)$ index.php

2. Index.php or called bootstrap file 

set_include_path(’.’ . PATH_SEPARATOR . ‘./application/library/’ .PATH_SEPARATOR . ‘./application/models/’);
date_default_timezone_set(’Europe/Amsterdam’);
require_once ‘Zend/Controller/Front.php’;
$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$controller->setControllerDirectory(’./application/controllers/’)->setBaseUrl(’/zend’)->throwExceptions(true);
$response = $controller->dispatch(); 

?>

3. IndexController.php 

require_once ‘Zend/Controller/Action.php’; 

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action { 

public function indexAction() { 

echo ‘Geeks this is running!’; 

} 

}

4. index.phtml

Now run something like this: http://domain.com/zend.

To uninstall or remove an OS from any computer means to change the mbr and delete the partitions occupied by it . All this can be done through the CD/DVD of the same OS or of another OS or through third party CD like gparted (You can easily dwd it) . Its impossible to uninstall or remove Linux from within itself - Obviously !! . This is what you have to do in order to remove Linux from your system . Firstly you have to restore windows boot loader in the master boot record (mbr) .

Here’s how to do it

Put in your windows CD and open the recovery console by pressing ‘r’ ( by the option to repair windows ) . Enter the number corresponding to your windows installation ( it will be 1 , so enter 1 and press enter ) . On the prompt type fix mbr . This command fixes the mbr and reinstates windows boot loader in the mbr . So you’ve gotten rid of grub/lilo boot loader of Linux . Exit from the prompt . But Linux partitions still exist . Put in windows cd and remove the partitions corresponding to Linux . This is very easy too - those partitions will have a file system unknown to the windows . So just delete what’s not windows . Trust me you’ll know which are Linux partitions once you see them from the windows CD.

However , all said and done there is a catch to this process - the fix mbr command is not _very_ trustworthy . If your system is infected with viruses then you may loose some data . Therefore , scan your system first through an updated anti-virus and remove all viruses . Better still , backup all your important data elsewhere . Its very recommended . Everywhere on the net you’ll find versions of what i just told you . But if i were you , I would backup all my data and give a try to the following -

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247804 (just because its a new way to uninstall or remove Linux, that i have not tried.)

The method that i explained has been tested successfully by me .

And in case you don’t want any windows interference during the uninstall process then you can also uninstall or remove Linux making use of your Linux CD\DVD . To get a feel of this just visit

This July William Henry Gates III a.k.a Bill Gates is leaving Microsoft Corporation, to focus on philanthropical activities like new vaccine projects and microfinance funding in developing world.

Mr Gates founded Microsoft with his high school friend Paul Allen in 1975, two years into his programming course at Harvard and turning their old after-school hobby into a serious business venture. It would make them rich and enable the development of the personal computer. Their genius was to realize that a common operating system for computers would make them more useful for a wider range of tasks than was ever though possible in the Seventies.

Three decades later, Microsoft has annual sales of $43bn and is worth $225bn - almost 40 times the value it had when it went public in 1986. Its Windows operating system lies at the heart of most personal and corporate computers and its word processing software is ubiquitous. The company’s products also offer a window on the worldwide web and Microsoft has also carved a piece of the Net itself, with Hotmail e-mail and instant messaging software available for free.
After dominating the PC world for more then 25 years, now the world’s greatest entrepreneur is leading the world to a new window……………

Now Gates will work full-time at his charitable organisation — the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which he started in 2000 to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world.

He will take a break this summer, and beginning in September the new focus of his work life will be the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the organization he began with his wife in 2000. With a current $37.3 billion endowment, it’s the world’s richest philanthropic institute.

There was always something about this computer genius, from his school days when he spent all his spare time fiddling with computers and sold his first software program at the age of 17. And by the time he went to Harvard University he had sold timetabling software to his school and a traffic planning system for state government.

And by the time he dropped out of Harvard, he had the idea for a company that would change the world: Microsoft.
And again this time with his decesion to retire from Microsoft and a new idea for changing the world. Over this Bill said “This is not a retirement. It is a re-ordering of my priorities.”

He said that he will hand over day-to-day responsibilities at Microsoft to a new generation of executives, leaving him with more time to spend with his family foundation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation aims to utilize his fortune - 95 percent of it, by the end of his life, to projects that promote health and education for all.
It has supported ambitious projects to eradicate diseases, including Aids and malaria, in the developing world, working not just with aid agencies, but also by forging partnerships between governments and the private sector. In the US, the foundation has focused on hooking up lacal libraries to internet to ensure everyone has access to the web.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been active in India committing millions of dollars for HIV prevention. Since the country is undergoing amicrofinance boom, Gates is likely to look at this sector closely.

According to a report , Gates is investing in a new nuclear energy project alongside Nathan Myhrvold’s Intellectual Ventures. Apparently, he’s fascinated by the cross section of biology and computing. Gates also said in the interview that he would be very selective in any type of investment he makes.
“Unless it’s something dramatic, using new science, breakthrough software approaches, breakthrough medical approaches, it somehow doesn’t grab me, because I’m much more of an engineer and scientist. If somebody says to me, ‘OK, we can do new cookie stores, and we can make zillions,’ I have no interest in spending a minute on that. I hope somebody goes and does that, but that’s not me.”

Web 2.0 is the name given to the new generation of World Wide Web technology and web design. Mainly web 2.0 refers to enhance creativity, information sharing and above all this, collaboration among users. Therefore we can say users collaboration and information sharing, had given rise to this second generation of WWW.

The concept of “Web 2.0″ began with a conference brainstorming session between O’Reilly and Media Live International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O’Reilly VP, noted that far from having “crashed”, the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What’s more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as “Web 2.0″ might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born.

This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0.

In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example:

Web 1.0 Web 2.0

DoubleClick –> Google Ad Sense

Ofoto –> Flickr

Akamai –> Bit Torrent

mp3.com –> Napster

Britannica Online –> Wikipedia

personal websites –> blogging

evite –> upcoming.org and EVDB

domain name speculation –> search engine optimization

page views –> cost per click

screen scraping –> web services

publishing –> participation

content management systems –> wikis

directories (taxonomy) –> tagging (”folksonomy”)

stickiness –> syndication

The list went on and on. But what was it that made us identify one application or approach as “Web 1.0″ and another as “Web 2.0″? (The question is particularly urgent because the Web 2.0 meme has become so widespread that companies are now pasting it on as a marketing buzzword, with no real understanding of just what it means. The question is particularly difficult because many of those buzzword-addicted startups are definitely not Web 2.0, while some of the applications we identified as Web 2.0, like Napster and Bit Torrent, are not even properly web applications!) We began trying to tease out the principles that are demonstrated in one way or another by the success stories of web 1.0 and by the most interesting of the new applications.

So What this new generation of World Wide Web offers to users:

1. The Web As Platform

2. Harnessing Collective Intelligence

3. Data is the Next Intel Inside

4. End of the Software Release Cycle

5. Lightweight Programming Models

6. Software Above the Level of a Single Device

7. Rich User Experiences

These seven offerings are coined as seven principal features of web 2.0

These principals are given in the rise to a completely new world of World Wide Web.

Low-intensity electric fields can disrupt the division of cancer cells and slow the growth of brain tumors, suggest laboratory experiments and a small human trial, raising hopes that electric fields will become a new weapon for stalling the progression of cancer. The research, performed by an international team led by Yoram Palti of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, is explained in the August issue of Physics Today, the flagship magazine of the American Institute of Physics.

In the studies, the research team uses alternating electric fields that jiggle electrically charged particles in cells back and forth hundreds of thousands of times per second. The electric fields have an intensity of only one or two volts per centimeter. Such low-intensity alternating electric fields were once believed to do nothing significant other than heat cells. However, in several years’ worth of experiments, the researchers have shown that the fields disrupt cell division in tumor cells placed on a glass dish (in vitro).

After intensively studying this effect in vitro and in laboratory animals, the researchers started a small human clinical trial to test its cancer-fighting ability. The technique was applied to ten human patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a form of brain cancer with a very low survival rate. All the patients had their earlier tumors treated by other methods, but the cancer had started to recur in all cases. Fitting the patients with electrodes that applied 200 kHz electric fields to the scalp at regular intervals for up to 18 hours per day, the researchers observed that the brain tumors progressed to advanced stages much slower than usual (taking a median time of 26 weeks), and sometimes even regressed. The patients also lived considerably longer, with a median survival time of 62 weeks. While no control group existed, the results compared favorably to historical data for recurrent GBM, in which the time for tumor progression is approximately 10 weeks and the typical survival time is 30 weeks. In addition, 3 of the 10 patients were still alive two years after the electrode therapy started. These results were announced in a recent issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Kirson et al., PNAS 104, 10152-10157, June 12, 2007).

The Physics Today article explains these results in terms of the physical mechanisms that enable the electric fields to affect dividing cancer cells. In vitro, the electric fields were seen to have two effects on the tumor cells.

First, they slowed down cell division. Cells that ordinarily took less than an hour to divide were still not completely divided after three hours of exposure to an electrical field of 200 kHz. Another group consisting of Luca Cucullo, Damir Janigro and their colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic, slowed cell division by applying electric fields with a much lower frequency just 50 Hz. In addition, this protocol demonstrated the ability to decrease the intrinsic drug resistance of the cells.

What causes cell division to slow down” In the 200-kHz case, the electric fields hamper the formation and function of a key cell structure known as the mitotic spindle. The spindle is composed of cell components known as microtubules. The microtubules in turn contain components that have a high electric dipole moment, in which there is a large separation of opposite electric charges. Therefore, parts of the mitotic spindle are greatly influenced, and apparently disrupted, by an electric field.

The second effect of the 200 kHz fields is that they sometimes disintegrated the daughter cells just before they split off from their partners. The dividing cells sometimes destruct because a high-electric-field region develops between the two daughter cells. This leads to a large slope, or gradient, in the electric field from each daughter cell to this region. This gradient may rip organelles (cell structures) and macromolecules (such as proteins) from the scaffolding of the cells.

Alternating electric fields affect tumor cells by (a) slowing their division time from under one hour to more than three hours. The fields also (b,c) disintegrate cells in the later stages of cell division.

This gradient may rip organelles (cell structures) and macromolecules (such as proteins) from the scaffolding of the cells.

The alternating electric fields are believed to have similar effects in the human glioblastomas. In contrast, the electric-field treatment poses little danger to normal brain tissue, because healthy brain cells do not divide. The electric fields were only observed to have disruptive effects on dividing cells. Based on the success of their initial human study, the researchers are working on another human clinical trial, this time with a control group receiving chemotherapy. The researchers are also investigating the possibility of combining the electric-field therapy with low-dose chemotherapy.

Why is asbestos a hazard?

Asbestos is made up of microscopic bundles of fibers that may become airborne when distributed. These fibers get into the air and may become inhaled into the lungs, where they may cause significant health problems. Researchers still have not determined a “safe level” of exposure but we know the greater and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of contracting an asbestos related disease. Some of these health problems include:

When is asbestos a hazard?
Asbestos is not always an immediate hazard. In fact, if asbestos can be maintained in good condition, it is recommended that it be left alone and periodic surveillance performed to monitor its condition. It is only when asbestos containing materials (ACM) are disturbed or the materials become damaged that it becomes a hazard. When the materials become damaged, the fibers separate and may then become airborne. In the asbestos industry, the term ‘friable’ is used to describe asbestos that can be reduced to dust by hand pressure. ‘Non-friable’ means asbestos that is too hard to be reduce to dust by hand. Non-friable materials, such as transite siding and floor tiles are not regulated provided it does not become friable. Machine grinding, sanding and dry-buffing are ways of causing non-friable materials to become friable.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral found in the surface of the earth. It contains strong fibres that have excellent durability, fire resistance and insulating properties. Asbestos fibres are 50 to 200 times thinner than a human hair, can float in the air for a long time, can be invisible to the naked eye and can be breathed into the lungs.

Asbestos differs from other minerals in its crystal development. The crystal formation of asbestos is in the form of long thin fibers. Asbestos is divided into two mineral groups:

Serpentine and Amphibole. The division between the two types of asbestos is based upon the crystalline structure. Serpentines have a sheet or layered structure where amphiboles have a chain-like structure. As the only member of the serpentine group, Chrysotile( A, B) is the most common type of asbestos found in buildings. Chrysotile makes up approximately 90%-95% of all asbestos contained in buildings in the United States.

In the amphibole group, there are five types of asbestos. As an acronym for the Asbestos Mines of South Africa, Amosite is the second most prevalent type of asbestos found in building materials. Amosite is also known as “brown asbestos.” Next, there is Crocidolite or “blue asbestos,” which is an asbestos found in specialized high temperature applications. The other three types (Anthophyllite, Tremolite, and Actinolite) are rare and found mainly as contaminants in other minerals. Asbestos deposits can be found throughout the world and are still mined in Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the former Soviet Union.

In the past, asbestos was mined from the ground and manufactured into many different materials. Materials containing asbestos were very common in the Australian residential building industry between the 1940s and late 1980s before their production stopped.
