Why Kanda was possessive about Geetika Sharma ?

4850

 On a day when absconding Haryana MLA Mr  Gopal Goyal Kanda's counsel described suicide victim Geetika Sharma in court as being jealous of Kanda's relations with other women, having an emotional attachment with him and being desirous of a relationship, a police source told TOI that her family had spoken about incidents that suggest the Sirsa MLA was possessive about her.

Geetika's family is learnt to have told police that Kanda personally spied on her. During her BA final year exams at DU, he allegedly followed her to the exam centre in the guise of a Sikh as he suspected she was in a relationship with another man. While police are yet to verify this, sources say other revelations about Kanda visiting Dubai in pursuit of Geetika, accompanying her to Singapore, exchanging numerous calls, buying property in her name and handing over several operations to the then 20-year-old woman indicate that the "attachment" may not have been one-sided.

But as the probe entered its fifth day on Thursday, there was no word from police on the findings of the preliminary postmortem report that would establish the exact time of Geetika's death. In a possible setback, police said they had come to know about a computer hard disk that was destroyed at the MDLR office in Gurgaon shortly before they raided the place. They intend to ask arrested MDLR manager Aruna Chaddha about this disk as they have obtained permission from a court to question her for two days.

Investigators are also going through the documents seized from the MDLR office to corroborate claims made by Geetika's family about her being pressed to sign some documents. They will question a Gurgaon police inspector regarding his role in sending an email to Emirates airline — allegedly on the directions of Kanda — accusing Geetika of loan fraud. Sources said police would write to Emirates for verification of the allegations.

Investigators say early leads in the case indicate that Geetika was possibly feeling trapped and wanted to get out desperately. A family member said she had returned the BMW Kanda gave her within a week and also gave back a phone he presented to her. This phone's SIM was issued in the name of one Mandeep Singh, who has since turned a police witness.

Police are hopeful of getting crucial information from Singh, who, although not an MDLR employee, is considered very close to Kanda. His association with the MLA started as a driver, police said.

Geetika's family on Thursday said they had faith in the judiciary and were hopeful of getting justice. They said Chaddha's arrest and the rejection of her bail plea were positive signs but Kanda's evading arrest was equally unfortunate.
They expressed their apprehension that Kanda might be using this time to tamper with evidence and was definitely strengthening his defence.

Interlochen Center for the Arts Implements Cloud-Based Network Security System
The IT team at Interlochen Center for the Arts has implemented a new network security system to provide improved service to faculty, students, and staff, while easing the burden on the IT team. Before implementing the new system, the IT team had been using a variety of labor-intensive methods to maintain security, including several log-reporting tools and proxy servers to filter content. In an effort to save time and resources, the team made the decision to seek out a new, comprehensive, cloud-based security solution that would make it easier for them to provide around-the-clock protection from security threats on multiple networks for the wide range of programs at the center, including summer camp programs, adult art classes, and festivals. The Interlochen Center for the Arts IT team evaluated a number of options and selected OpenDNS Enterprise, a cloud-based Web filter and Internet-wide security network. According to a press release, they selected OpenDNS Enterprise because of its simplicity, low total cost of ownership, and cloud-based approach. "OpenDNS Enterprise's cloud-based approach fits perfectly with the school's new IT design and allows us to simultaneously protect thousands of devices every day," said David Bondurant, systems administrator for Interlochen Center for the Arts, in a prepared statement. "Through OpenDNS Enterprise, we can employ a simple, one-click-and-done approach to blocking and preventing malware." Interlochen Center for the Arts is located in northwest lower Michigan. It includes an arts academy boarding high school for grades 9 through 12 and summer arts programs for students ages 8 to 18 with courses in music, theater, dance, visual arts, motion picture arts, and creative writing. It also offers adult arts programs through the Interlochen College of Creative Arts and broadcasts news and music through its public radio services. Further information about OpenDNS Enterprise is available on the OpenDNS site.

Cloud computing with AeroSoft

It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet. This frequently takes the form of web-based tools or applications that users can access and use through a web browser as if it were a program installed locally on their own computer.Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a paradigm shift following the shift from mainframe to client–server in the early 1980s. Details are abstracted from the users, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources.

The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone network, and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents. Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online that are accessed from another Web service or software like a Web browser, while the software and data are stored on servers. A key element of cloud computing is customization and the creation of a user-defined experience.

Most cloud computing infrastructures consist of services delivered through common centers and built on servers. Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs. Commercial offerings are generally expected to meet quality of service (QoS) requirements of customers, and typically include service level agreements (SLAs). The major cloud service providers include AeroSoft, Microsoft, IBM, Salesforce, Amazon and Google.

Chairman Vijay Mallya today termed the protest as "disruptive" and warned the agitators that they could quit if they felt their action was justified.

 With a strike by pilots disrupting Kingfisher Airlines' flight schedules, its Chairman Vijay Mallya today termed the protest as "disruptive" and warned the agitators that they could quit if they felt their action was justified.

He also asserted that the airline would be "re- capitalised whether the government changes the current FDI policy or not".

In an open letter to his staffers, the third in so many months, Mallya warned, "If some colleagues feel that I will be pressurised by flight cancellations, they are wrong. Instead, I will stop my own support as a few are effectively holding the entire Company to ransom...

"If a section of our colleagues feel their actions are justified and that they know best, they can elect to leave our company. But such threats and disruptive actions are not acceptable. The actions of a few can adversely affect all of us."

The letter came on a day when at least 16 Kingfisher flights, 10 from Mumbai and six from Delhi, were cancelled due to the strike. About 30 flights were cancelled yesterday. The airline is expected to announce its quarterly results shortly.

Appealing to the employees to "understand the extreme hardship that I am going through to keep our Airline flying to the highest safety standards", Mallya said he was writing cheques to various vendors on a daily basis "irrespective of the revenue inflow".

"We have continuing issues with the tax authorities with frozen bank accounts. As if that is not bad enough, some of our own colleagues are ensuring, by their actions, that our revenue prospects fall down further due to shaky guest confidence and poor load factors."
