CMRS Advocate Bangalore Metro

The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety, K A Manoharan, on Thursday morning submitted his team’s 9-page safety report to the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. which certifies the Green Line’s 12 km Sampige Road – Yelachenahalli stretch fit for commercial operations. This report, compiled after a 4-day inspection towards the end of May, includes a set of 65 conditions (suggestions, rectifications & improvements) which are required to be implemented prior to the line’s launch this month.

Here’s the first page of the report. His authorization is 3/4ths of the way down:

                          

I have issued a safety certificate to Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) but the conditions to complete civil work at KR Market and Chickpet stations stay. They have to send me a compliance report once they finish these minor works to ensure passengers are not inconvenienced. Simultaneously, they can hold the launch, and commission it after full compliance

Placement Seasons Strat in IIT's - 400 placement offers in four days at IIT-Delhi

Over 400 offers were made in the first four days of placements at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The number of profiles considered in the first week of placement has also seen an increase of 10%. Owing to flood, companies from Chennai will be visiting at a later date.

Several technology companies came for placement in the first week "rolling out high packages of over $1,00,000 per annum as base pay for international positions, mainly in the US," says Anishya Madan of IIT-D's Training and Placement Cell.

Interestingly, several of these offers have been rejected by students "opting to accept offers from other firms with domestic offers." "Most foreign offers are of Rs 50 to Rs 60 lakh. Once you convert that into foreign currency, it won't allow you the kind of lifestyle you can have at Rs 30 to 40 lakh in India," explains an IIT-D student.

Madan says, "Most offers have been for India," and the average increase in packages for domestic profiles for the first week is in the range of 10% to 20%. There was a large number of Japanese companies at IIT-D this placement season. The largest number of offers have come, unsurprisingly, from information technology-43% of the total. The usual tech companies were present, but not Facebook even though Mark Zuckerberg visited the campus in October.

Common Error : in VS2012

FIX: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS

Solution:
Configuration information for an ASP.NET website is defined in one or more Web.config files. The configuration settings are applied in a hierarchical manner. There's a “global” Web.config file that spells out the baseline configuration information for all websites on the web server; this file lives in the%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\version\CONFIG folder. You can also have a Web.config file in the root folder of your website. This Web.config file can override settings defined in the “global” Web.config file, or add new ones. Additionally, you may have Web.config files in the subfolders of your website, which define new configuration settings or override configuration settings defined in Web.config files higher up in the hierarchy.

Certain configuration elements in Web.config cannot be defined beyond the application level, meaning that they must be defined in the “global” Web.config file or in the Web.config file in the website's root folder. The element is one such example. The above error message indicates that there is a Web.config file in one of the website's subfolders than has one of these configuration elements that cannot be defined beyond the application level.

This problem most commonly arises when you open the website in Visual Studio but accidentally open the parent of the root folder. For example, imagine that you have a website located at C:\MyProjects\Website1, where the Website1folder is the root of the website. When you open this website from Visual Studio you are asked to specify the website's root folder - it is imperative that choose the Website1 folder. If you accidentally select the MyProjects folder then theWeb.config file in the Website1 folder is now in one of the website's subfolders. Because that Web.config file includes the  element, among other application-level settings, you'll receive the above error.

The fix to this error (in most cases), then, is to close your project and reopen it from Visual Studio, making sure that you select the appropriate folder.
