Happy New Year 2012

Have a Blast on New Year Eve but

Dont Drink and Drive! Dont Drink and Walk either!

Drink but Dont Drive, let Driver drive and dont let him drink :)


Foggy days... foggy nights
nothing is clear all is white
Light all candles ... and vanish all dark
to Wish all "A Happy New Year"
as soon as you its 12 o'clock.

Cheers,
Sandip

One more goes down..

"One more goes down.." can be used for year 2011 passing by as well as many of google services.




Now  Google Health service is closing down. At the expense of useless google+, many of google services closing down. 


In their blog, google says

Now, with a few years of experience, we’ve observed that Google Health is not having the broad impact that we hoped it would. There has been adoption among certain groups of users like tech-savvy patients and their caregivers, and more recently fitness and wellness enthusiasts. But we haven’t found a way to translate that limited usage into widespread adoption in the daily health routines of millions of people. That’s why we’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue the Google Health service.

Can we expect same paragraph for Google+?, few years down the line,

I preferred Picasa over Flickr but Now with G+ integrated Picasa, I dont want to use Picasa with so much social angle to it.

Save Tigers, not Tourism

Republished From HT

Written by CHETAN CHAUHAN

India’s tiger tourism has not benefited the big cat nor the people living in over 600 protected areas in the country.

There have been studies which indicate that human presence disturb wildlife including tigers especially with relation to breeding. These studies, however, fail to specify whether tourism or those living in protected areas disturb the animals.

It is a gray area which needs further investigation. More so, in light of a public interest litigation filed in the Supreme Court by Ajay Dubey seeking shifting of tourism from core critical tiger habitats to buffer and fringe areas, a view endorsed by National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).

The tour operators and lodge owners in wildlife areas have strongly opposed the move claiming that it will do more harm than good the tigers and people living in and around these protected areas.

The tour operators argument sound strange to me as they fail to present any evidence of how tourism has benefited tiger conservation and improved livelihood of the locals. Presenting a tribal from Kanha inMadhya Pradesh to showcase tourism has empowered locals is be-fooling. There is no data to show that they have directly shared revenue with any agency for benefit of tigers or locals.

Tour operators pay a ticket charge to enter tiger reserves but the money is charged from tourists. The tourism related revenue generated by the government is mostly used to pay salaries of forest employees, an indirect tiger conservation measure.

Tourism benefit to locals is minimal. Only a few locals living inside or around tiger reserves have been employed by lodge owners or drive vehicles ferrying tourists into the reserves. A vast majority still live in abject poverty even though tigers bring maximum earning for the government and lodge owners through tourism.

Per se, tourism is not bad.

But, the problem is how it is run in and around tiger reserves. Totally, unregulated and at the whims and fancies of foresters and owners of big lodges. There have been ample cases of forest officials increasing the number of permits to allow tourist vehicles inside reserves. Tigers have been allowed to film even when reserve had been officially closed.

I have seen this happen during my visits to tiger reserves in Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh whereas local villagers were treated like theives by forest employees for collecting their basic necessity firewood. Reason, they don’t have money power like wildlife tour operators. It is also evident that government has failed to take action on lodges built in buffer zone of tiger reserves, a prohibited activity under law.

The public interest litigation is an opportunity for the government to enforce some regulation ensuring that revenue generated from tourism helps in tiger conservation and upliftment of poor in over 6,000 villages inside tiger reserves.

The environment ministry needs to quickly notify the eco-tourism rules, which makes sharing of 30 % of revenue generated through tourism with locals mandatory. For the record, a committee headed by former tourism secretary of India Sujit Banerjee had made this recommendation. If required, implementing these rules should be linked with providing Central government funds for wildlife conservation.

I know that tourism guys near tiger reserves are vehemently opposed to the idea and Vishal SIngh of Travel Operators for Tigers (TOFT) is willing to offer peanuts — maximum of five percent.

But, time has come to make them realise their responsibility towards the big cat, which brings high profile tourists willing to pay up to Rs 40,000 for a night, and locals, who have co-existed with these tigers for centuries.

For this, if tourism has to be banned for some time from scientifically defined core critical tiger habitats, it will not be a bad idea. It may be the way for the first pay back from the tourism.

Email From KingFisher

You matter.. On behalf of Kingfisher Airlines, I am grateful to you for your support and patronage of our services. I would like to take this opportunity to update you on recent developments at Kingfisher Airlines vis-a-vis media reports on our performance. As you are aware, the Indian Aviation Industry has been faced with the difficult task of coping with high costs and lower yields. Post considerable thought and deliberation, Kingfisher Airlines has rolled out initiatives that aim to drive the long-term profitability in our efforts to meet these challenges. As announced earlier, we have decided to focus on the full-service market; to this end Kingfisher Airlines has initiated reconfiguration of its aircraft. This exercise will require few of our aircraft to be out of service for the next few weeks. Ergo and in line with maximizing productivity we have rationalized our network, resulting in a temporary discontinuation of approximately 50 flights out of our current operating schedule of approximately 350 departures per day. Once the reconfiguration is complete, these aircraft will be pressed back into service immediately. Clearly the report about our flights being cancelled owing to the supposed exodus of pilots appears to be falsified. Our service commitment to you remains sacrosanct, and we have taken every measure to reduce any inconvenience caused due to the temporary changes in schedule. Please accept my sincere apologies in case you have been inconvenienced on this account; I truly appreciate your support, and thank you for your understanding. I look forward to your continued patronage and remain Anshu Sarin Vice President Guest Loyalty and Kingfisher Holidays

Code Igniter - Setting Secure flag for Session

Php5 gives you ability to set secure flag with function setcookie, but codeigniter doesnt.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

see 6th argument to setcookie.

It saves session with Encryption and using md5 but still security softwares objects your website because
non secure session.

I was searching for a while do it good way, but didnt find it, so I came up with this hack.

In CI_HOME/system/libraries/Session.php

Basically CI passes $secure = 0 as  a hardcoded argument to setcookie function.

I set this value to 1. one can write some more code to make it configurable thru CI config file.

With $secure=1, Session cookie wont be saved for domains accessed with http://urdomain.com

it only works with https://urdomain.com


Let me know if its issue or better way doing this.

All the best.
