Microsoft coined the name,wireless Hosted Network, for this new feature.</span></div> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some times you need Connectify, similar tools to create hotspot to share your PC's internet connection over Wifi.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But you can set up this in windows 7 (Windows 8 has problems with sharing networks)  without using any third party tools.</span><br /> <h3 class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> </h3> <h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Getting started with wireless Hosted Networks:</span><span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h3> <div> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In order to use the wireless Hosted Network feature, your wireless adapter must be using drivers certified for Windows 7. If Windows detects a supported adapter, it will automatically add a connection to the Network Connections window, named Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter, such as Figure 1 shows. If multiple supported-adapters exist, Windows will automatically choose the one to use for the wireless Hosted Network.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz2tW9aOMcKdiPVi-rFFrzIJSIKZhqwXi1c1My5AOmkKj848Hsr8gDiGYPapkCDH_zyv_wyZ7B8ChXr1g3HOrha_mL2BTXVuZm_H4zDvGD9SUzPLWYzZ_uEAwNKMZWEqjnaevCdbtlYlDf/s1600/smTu.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz2tW9aOMcKdiPVi-rFFrzIJSIKZhqwXi1c1My5AOmkKj848Hsr8gDiGYPapkCDH_zyv_wyZ7B8ChXr1g3HOrha_mL2BTXVuZm_H4zDvGD9SUzPLWYzZ_uEAwNKMZWEqjnaevCdbtlYlDf/s1600/smTu.png" width="400" /></span></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">                                                                      Fig.1</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Microsoft requires all wireless Hosted Networks to use WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption.

However, if used, a third-party utility might initiate a reconnection. If you manually start the wireless Hosted Network again, Windows will use the previously entered network details though.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <h3 style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Manually create a virtual AP with netsh:</span></h3> <h3 class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <i style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i></i></span></i></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you want to experiment with the wireless Hosted Network feature with text commands, click the Start button, enter “cmd” and right click on it and run it as administrator .

It pushed for carving out Telangana, India's 29th state, out of Andhra Pradesh in the face of much opposition from the Seemandhra region which will form the residuary state.</div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> When KCR left Hyderabad three weeks ago to attend the last session of the 15th Lok Sabha in Delhi, he told his supporters that he was leaving Andhra Pradesh, but would return to Telangana.</div> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.ndtv.com/news/images/story_page/kcr_returns_360_23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://www.ndtv.com/news/images/story_page/kcr_returns_360_23.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> Telangana is now just a signature away from being a state and hundreds of jubilant supporters crowded the streets as the TRS chief landed in the city today. He will lead a victory procession to Gun Park Martyr's Memorial, crossing the chief minister's office that he hopes to occupy in a few days. It is expected to be a massive show of strength.</div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> It is also holding TRS to its promise that it would merge with the Congress once Parliament passed the bill.</div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> The Congress' Digvijaya Singh has indicated that talks for a merger of the TRS with the Congress are in the final stages.

He described it as "thanksgiving'' visit, but it was seen as a signal that the TRS is keeping its post-poll options open.</div> </span></span></div>

The first thing that grabs the eye is the roof which seems to be hanging in the sky.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> Each time the lift in the building halts on a floor, it generates a small amount of energy, said Dr Arun Kumar Trivedi, an engineer who was one of the key people in the planning of the building. "There are several features which we had planned, some got built others not, but even then this is a marvel of what can be achieved in the country," he said.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.ndtv.com/news/images/story_page/India_greenest_building_solar_panel_360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://www.ndtv.com/news/images/story_page/India_greenest_building_solar_panel_360.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> On the terrace are huge solar panels. This is where the building generates almost 1 MW of power for its needs. The panels, imported from the US, have a high efficiency conversion rate of 18 percent. </div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> The building also has three levels of automated underground parking which can house 300 cars. "We can retrieve any car in three minutes and empty the entire lot in 40" said one of the attendants.  </div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> Thick cables from the roof converge in the power room where the DC power is converted into AC current to be used in the building. Computers here direct the power to where it is needed in the building; any extra power is routed through a cable that is connected to the power grid and is fed back to the city.</div> </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">  </div> </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> Another feature of the building is the use of Geo thermal heat exchange system to cut down the power needed to run air conditioners. </div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> The building also recycles all of its water. Engineers claim treated waste water, which is used in the air conditioning system and also for watering the greens, will reduce water demand by over 50 percent.</div> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> The building which has been given a 5-star rating by TERI's GRIHA and a platinum rating by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) may open to the public as part of knowledge exchange, say senior officials. A lot, however, will depend on the ability of officials to maintain and run the systems which have earned the building its green rating. </div> </span></span></div>

Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="clear: both; color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first of Shiva Trilogy, Immortals of Meluha is based on the belief that perhaps the actions, deeds and karma are the only determining factors to metamorphose an ordinary man to a god like figure or god! Amish Tripathi in his book attempts to humanize the Hindu infinite 'Mahadev'-The God of Gods and the destroyer of evil with philosophy as its underlying thesis and with a refreshing take on mythology but wavers in the characterization of the protagonist itself and digresses from the related theories.</span></span></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story is set in Meluha, a nearly perfect land of Suryavanshis which is at war over their sacred river 'Saraswati' with the baleful and savage Chandravanshis, who have a secret alliance with a cursed and disfigured group called Nagas, masters of martial arts. Shiva, a young Tibetan tribal arrives in Meluha soon to discover that he is the legendary 'Neelkanth' who is envisaged to be their savior. Hauled suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love and expectations, Shiva resolves to lead the Suryavanshi retaliation.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2yHOdIRUtr0?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story is neither very fluent nor gripping and is more indicative of a Hindi movie script with very filmy characters, with an over simplistic plot and cheesy dialogues .It trips forward without any amazement or twists that you cannot pick well before. Shiva smokes for serenity, dances for fun and is filled with young lust. He falls in love with Sati immediately, trails behind her and does all frivolous things to impress her. This pulp-hero-cum-rock-star image of Shiva feels extremely jarring and cliché. Excessive use of words expletives (yes, 'idiot' included) in his dialogues to make Shiva look human sounded inappropriate. Rather it is Shiva’s insecurities and inner conflicts that actually make the readers feel that he is human.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.indiabookstore.net/bookish/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Immortals-of-Meluha_Amish-Tripathi_Main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.indiabookstore.net/bookish/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Immortals-of-Meluha_Amish-Tripathi_Main.jpg" width="265" /></span></a></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://download1685.mediafire.com/pmeaw7ntbceg/a61xbc3kyuzinn8/immortals-of-meluha-amish-tripathi.pdf" target="_blank">Download</a></span></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other characters are flat and not well developed. Some scream their lungs out clamoring to Shiva to take up their cause (repeatedly, mind you!) which gets to you after a while. </span></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While certain descriptions, sub plots and brief introductions to history were mesmerizing and I took a particular liking in the philosophy of evil, that what is considered evil or wrong by some may not be perceived in the similar way by others. However, the concept of Somaras and inhuman idea of newly born babies being taken away from their mothers soon after their birth sounded harebrained and such have never been in existence in Indian society and culture, ever!</span></div> <div style="color: #111111; line-height: 21.993999481201172px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The book however, can be most certainly credited with attracting the attention of the clueless Indian youth to their culture and mythology. Perhaps the catchiest part of the book? Its cover page!</span></div> </div>
