Tamil Nadu has been chosen for the pilot project in the country, chief postmaster general Shanti Nair said. The project will be unveiled in six other states later.

MY Computer-----

C DRIVE------Program Files-------Microsoft SQL Server-----------80-----------Tools----------Binn---------rebuildm.exe

Double click on rebuildm.exe then you have to show the path of DATA folder from the CD

After this you can connect/ start SQL server. Then restore the master database with the backup(Previous Days). Then you can re start Sql server 2000. and start working all the Applications

GARLIC MEDICINAL VALUE

Garlic's medicinal properties are well known; so go ahead and add it to your diet.

For centuries garlic has been used as a medicinal and culinary substance in India, China, Greece and other countries. It has been used as a salve for everything from headaches to colds to infections and healing wounds. To some, however, the strong flavour of garlic is not very appealing; in fact repelling. Therefore, although garlic is a widely available spice, it is not very popular in some households.

Garlic does not make significant nutritional contribution to the diet because the quantities added to recipes are small. But even these nano amounts make a big difference to one's health.

The biological benefits and the distinct odour of garlic are attributed to the many sulphur containing compounds; one of which is Alliin. This compound is converted to Allicin when garlic is crushed. Allicin is, perhaps, the principal bioactive compound present even in processed garlic.

As per the spokesperson, DoP will give commission to BSNL for each remittance made and the commission will vary on the amount transferred.

Under this facility, receiver of the money will get SMS for transaction and initially get cash at the nearest authorised post office by showing the message, the spokesperson said.

When your Heart beats faster, Consult a Doctor

It's something like listening to Trance. A genre of chest thumping music, which maintains a tempo of 125 beats per minute steadily. Imagine when your heart beats like that continuously albeit for a minute or so. The inevitable conclusion, obviously, is that something is wrong with the heart.

Increased heartbeat is natural when someone is excited, frightened, anxious or exercising. The moment anxiety wears off or the person takes rest, heart beat returns to normal. But what if, it starts beating faster and faster for no apparent reason? Just like the steady beat in Trance music!

How to Adjust MPCM Sticker Settings(Receipt Printing)

To day In my office The configurations of MPCM Receipt Sticker Configurations are changed while they are printing a receipt. In the new form the receipt is printed in two stickers instead of one. This will cause the wasting of MPCM stickers and these are very difficult to paste in articles. We used various methods to change the configurations Changing the printer test option in MPCM applications,Re installation of printer drivers. But these methods were not worked in this case. We contacted many system administrators but none of them came across this type of problem. This occurs due to the rapid change in the printer settings. In my office we are using TVS MSP 240 classic printers.

Cloud Storage: How Useful is Google Drive?

Did you know that you store a lot of your personal and official information on a cloud? Where do you think all the attachments in your web mail accounts are stored? However, when it comes to consciously storing data and accessing it, most of us prefer a USB flash drive or, if the data is sizeable, a portable hard disk drive (HDD). Now, Google Drive aims to change this since it is not just a warehouse, but also offers a bunch of applications. 

IP V6 LAUNCHED.

What is IPv4?
A: IPv4 stands for Internet Protocol version 4. It is the underlying technology that makes it possible for us to connect our devices to the web. Whenever a device access the Internet (whether it’s a PC, Mac, smartphone or other device), it is assigned a unique, numerical IP address such as 99.48.227.227. To send data from one computer to another through the web, a data packet must be transferred across the network containing the IP addresses of both devices.

Without IP addresses, computers would not be able to communicate and send data to each other. It’s essential to the infrastructure of the web.

TOP TEN COMPUTER MANUFACTURING COMPANIES IN THE WORLD.

Computers and laptops / notebooks have become a part of our life. Life without a computer is next to impossible in this age of fast growing world of electronics and technology.

As the demand for computers grew, more and more companies stepped in the business to manufacture computers and computer hardware and software. Some of these companies manufacture all computer parts and sell under their own brand, while others manufacture only some of the hardware and few others develop only software. Computer companies like Intel and AMD manufacture computer processor and other high-end hardware. Companies like Microsoft and Google produce only computer software with some exception. Some companies even manufacture computer hardware parts on contract basis for OEM companies.

TO TRACE ANY PHONE NUMBER IN THE WORLD

Sometimes we cannot even identify which country the missed call is from (except ofcourse the ones from our home country and a few others for which we know the international dialing code).

MSDB RECREATE IN SQL 2005

If your msdb goes suspect then you have two choices, restore it from a backup or recreate it (and then recreate any scheduled jobs). Obviously everyone has a comprehensive and valid set of backups, right? If only...
Of course, the very first thing you do is work out why it went suspect in the first place and take any necessary steps to stop it happening again.
Now you'd hope that if you don't have a valid msdb backup then you can at least run repair on it and so you don't lose everything in there. Well, that works as long as the transaction log isn't damaged. Ok, but then surely we can stick the database into the now-documented emergency mode (alter database dbname set emergency) and run emergency mode repair? (dbcc checkdb (dbname, repair_allow_data_loss) in emergency mode). Nope, msdb can't be put into emergency mode.
So, you're out of options and you're going to have to recreate msdb. Here's what to do (change the directory paths to suit your installation):

1. Detach the damaged msdb. You can't just detach msdb because you're not allowed to detach system databases. However, you can if you start the server with trace flag 3608. I did this by shutting down the server, navigating to the directory 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn' and doing the following: start sqlservr.exe -c -T3608

   2.   Move or rename the damaged msdb files (msdbdata.mdf and msdblog.ldf in the
        'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data' directory)
   3.   Run the instmsdb.sql script in the 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL       Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Install' directory

4.Shutdown and restart the server without the 3608 trace flag
This works on SQL Server 2000 as well.
Hopefully you'll never have to do this but if you ever do, let me know how it goes for you.

We may need more money because implementation in some of the cases may last over six-nine years.”The department will computerise all of its 1.6 lakh post offices across the country by 2013 with over 24,000 department post offices already computerised by March.

250 computerised post offices in J-K
