Pranav Dhanawade
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-35...88
Pranav Dhanawade, who has broken a century-old cricketing record on Monday, became the first batsman to score 1000-plus runs in an innings in any form of cricket. Batting against Arya Gurukul School in a Bhandari Cup match, Pranav reached 1000 runs in just 323 balls on Tuesday. The tournament is an under-16 inter-school event organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) mainly for the benefit of suburban schools.
Pranav’s epic knock, which lasted 395 minutes, included a staggering 59 sixes and 129 fours. His team soon declared the innings at 1465/3, which is also a world record, with Pranav remaining at unbeaten 1009, while the opposition side were bundled out for 31 on Monday. His school went past Victoria’s 1107 against New South Wales made way back in 1926.
A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that creates an encrypted connection over a less secure network. The benefit of using a VPN is that it ensures the appropriate level of security to the connected systems when the underlying network infrastructure alone cannot provide it. The justification for using a VPN instead of a private network usually boils down to cost and feasibility: It is either not feasible to have a private network (e.g., for a traveling sales rep) or it is too costly to do so. The most common types of VPNs are remote-access VPNs and site-to-site VPNs.
A remote-access VPN uses a public telecommunication infrastructure like the Internet to provide remote users secure access to their organization’s network. A VPN client on the remote user’s computer or mobile device connects to a VPN gateway on the organization’s network, which typically requires the device to authenticate its identity, then creates a network link back to the device that allows it to reach internal network resources (e.g., file servers, printers, intranets) as though it was on that network locally. A remote-access VPN usually relies on either IPsec or SSL to secure the connection, although SSL VPNs are often focused on supplying secure access to a single application rather than to the whole internal network. Some VPNs provide Layer 2 access to the target network; these require a tunneling protocol like PPTP or L2TP running across the base IPsec connection.
A site-to-site VPN uses a gateway device to connect the entire network in one location to the network in another, usually a small branch connecting to a data center. End-node devices in the remote location do not need VPN clients because the gateway handles the connection. Most site-to-site VPNs connecting over the Internet use IPsec. It is also common to use carrier MPLS clouds rather than the public Internet as the transport for site VPNs. Here, too, it is possible to have either Layer 3 connectivity (MPLS IP VPN) or Layer 2 (Virtual Private LAN Service, or VPLS) running across the base transport.
VPNs can also be defined between specific computers, typically servers in separate data centers, when security requirements for their exchanges exceed what the enterprise network can deliver. Increasingly, enterprises also use VPNs in either remote-access mode or site-to-site mode to connect (or connect to) resources in a public infrastructure as a service environment. Newer hybrid-access scenarios put the VPN gateway itself in the cloud, with a secure link from the cloud service provider into the internal network.

Quiz on words coined by authors
Joy Bhattacharjya
Czech playwright Karel Capek was born on January 9. While most of us will not remember his play R.U.R., the word he coined for machine-like beings — robot — has become an integral part of our lexicon. This week’s quiz is all about words coined by authors.
Wordminters
1 Which prolific writer can we thank for the words ‘abstemious,’ ‘addiction,’ ‘bandit,’ ‘barefaced,’ ‘fashionable’ and another 100 more in regular use in the language?
2 The word ‘tween’ was originally not in reference to humans but the young of another fictional species between the ages of 20 and 33. Which is the species and who is the author in question?
3 While Dr Seuss’s writing will always be associated with its use, the word ‘grinch’ was first used in the late 19th century by a man better known for his writings on India. Grinch then meant ‘to make a harsh grating noise.’Name the author.
4 To which 1955 novel, which caused a fair amount of controversy when released, do we owe the word ‘nymphet?’
5 The use of the word ‘dreamscape’ as an imagined location for a dream was coined in a poem ‘The Ghost’s Leavetaking.’ Identify the poet, who also invented ‘grrring’ to describe the sound made by alley cats?
6 To which author, who wrote a thing or two about knights, do we owe the word ‘freelance’ as a person who offers his services in exchange for money?
7 In 2005, Jessica Prentice coined the word ‘Locavore’ in her work ‘Chelsea Green.’ Who or what is a ‘locavore?’
8 In 2005, Jeff Howe and Mark Robinson, editors at Wired Magazine, invented which portmanteau word to describe how businesses were now getting individuals outside their companies to do work for them?
9 In his 1905 collection of short stories Cabbages and Kings, prolific short-story writer O Henry coined which two-word term to describe a country with an unstable government and an economy hugely dependent on a single product?
10 Which word, in regular use today, was coined by critic Donald Gordon when reviewing a new mystery novel, Half Mast Murder by Milward Kennedy?
Answers
1. William Shakespeare; ‘addiction’ was first used in Othello and ‘fashionable’ in Troilus and Cressida
2. Hobbits, from JRR Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings trilogy. A Hobbit is supposed to have come of age at 33
3. Rudyard Kipling
4. Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita
5. Sylvia Plath
6. Walter Scott. He first used it in Ivanhoe
7. A person who tries to only eat food grown or raised in his or her locality or immediate surroundings
8. ‘Crowdsourcing,’ derived from outsourcing to the crowd
9. Banana Republic
10. Whodunnit — a perfect descriptor for the genre

Bitter or better,

The choice is ours whether we
Become victims or victorious.

Let’s face it – English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn’t ‘Buick’ rhyme with ‘quick’?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this.
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is ‘UP.’
It’s easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver;
we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special .
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP .
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
No wonder immigrants have such a big problem
learning the confusing English Language.
