Nirmaan Organisation is a non-profit organization committed to providing education and livelihood opportunities to underprivileged people. It was started in 2005 in Pilani, India and is now operating with 500 members through 8 chapters. One of Nirmaan's key projects is DISHA, which provides career counseling to 9th and 10th grade students through workshops and personal interactions, in order to motivate them and increase their opportunities. Nirmaan is now proposing to expand DISHA through a new "Vidya Help Line" project, which will provide free tele-counseling and career guidance workshops to more students in Pilani and surrounding areas.
Global warming is the rise in average temperatures due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the atmosphere. The Earth's average surface temperature has increased by 0.8°C since the late 19th century, with two-thirds of that increase occurring since 1980. Effects of global warming include rising sea levels that threaten coastal areas, more severe weather events like hurricanes and fires, and melting of the polar ice caps. To reduce global warming, individuals can drive less, recycle, avoid over-packaged products, plant trees, and spread awareness about reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Patterns for Secure Containerized Applications (Docker)Erica Windisch
The document discusses containerization and isolation as security patterns for applications. It notes that consolidation is not actually a security pattern, and discusses hypervisors like Xen having vulnerabilities. Fragmentation through isolation into microservices is presented as a security pattern, while simply having more services is not. The document acknowledges that isolation patterns can require more work.
Rihanna was born in Barbados in 1988 and moved to the United States at age 16 to pursue her music career. She signed with Def Jam records in 2004 after being discovered by a producer while vacationing in Barbados. Her latest album, Talk That Talk, was released in 2011 and features genres like pop, R&B, and hip hop. It was promoted heavily through social media and sold over 600,000 copies in its first week. Going forward, Rihanna plans to continue her music career while also starting a charity to give back to communities in need.
Maya Arulpragasam, known by her stage name M.I.A., is a British-Tamil rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and director. She was born in London to Tamil Sri Lankan parents and draws influence from alternative dance, electronic, world, alternative and hip hop music, as well as Tamil film music, Missy Elliott and Timberland. She started her career by self-recording demo tapes at home and gained underground success through singles pressed to vinyl by an independent label and spread through dance clubs, fashion shows, file sharing and college radio airplay, leading to her signing with XL Records in mid-2004.
This document summarizes the vision, reach, and work of the nonprofit organization Nirmaan. Nirmaan was started in 2005 by students of BITS Pilani to work towards creating a poverty-free and knowledge-driven society. It operates across 5 states in India and has over 700 volunteers. Its key areas of work include livelihoods, education, and community development. For livelihoods, it forms self-help groups for rural women and runs vocational training centers. In education, it adopts schools to enhance quality and infrastructure and provides scholarships and mentoring. It also runs a tele-counseling helpline called Vidya Help Line that assists over 25,000 students annually with career,
Network is a group of devices linked together to share data. A network breaks barriers of distance, cost and time, and is cost-effective. Networks transmit different types of data like text and audio. Networks use transmission media like guided media which uses cabling, and unguided media which doesn't use cabling. Common transmission media include twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, optical fiber, infrared, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microwave, radio waves, and satellites. Networks can be local area networks spanning a small area like an office, metropolitan area networks spanning a city, or wide area networks spanning countries. The Internet is a worldwide network that allows uses like accessing information and using communication tools.
Computers are electronic devices that can perform operations according to instructions called programs. A computer system has four main functional components: input, where data is entered; processing, where the data is manipulated; output, where the results are produced; and storage, where data and programs are kept. While computers are fast, accurate, and versatile with high storage capacity, their weaknesses include a lack of intelligence, decision making ability, and heuristics.

This document discusses using Chef configuration management with Docker containers. It describes using Chef at both the build stage and runtime stage of containers. At build time, Chef can configure and install applications into an image. At runtime, Chef can further configure running containers based on environment variables. Combining Chef and Docker provides immutable infrastructure, faster deployments, and testable configurations.

From servers and containers, to services and things. Building an Internet of Things of the clouds and infrastructure we're building today. Maps the future of configuration management and systems artifact management.
The Docker "Gauntlet" - Introduction, Ecosystem, Deployment, OrchestrationErica Windisch
This document summarizes Docker's growth over 15 months, including its community size, downloads, projects on GitHub, enterprise support offerings, and the Docker platform which includes the Docker Engine, Docker Hub, and partnerships. It also provides overviews of key Docker technologies like libcontainer, libchan, libswarm, and how images work in Docker.
This document discusses using Docker containers and Chef configuration management together. It begins by showing how to build Docker images that include Chef using Dockerfiles. It then explains how Chef can be used to configure containers during the image build process, essentially "baking" the configuration into the images. This allows immutable infrastructure where configured containers can be started without needing to rerun Chef provisioning. The document also discusses using multi-stage Dockerfiles and Chef runs to fully configure images. It briefly covers tools for deploying Docker containers, such as using Chef on EC2 instances or with OpenStack Heat orchestration.
The document defines and describes various tools and equipment used in oil and gas drilling rig operations. It provides descriptions of common components in 3 sentences or less, including drill pipe, drill collars, drill bits, draw works, blowout preventers, mud pumps, shale shakers, blowout preventer preventers, rotary tables, casing heads, generators, blocks, tongs, kellys, blowout preventers, and mud systems. The components work together to drill and construct oil and gas wells.
