The Buildings of Khan Jahan in and Around Bagerhat

Origin of the name, Bagerhat, is as obscure as its nebulous early history. Equally uncertain is the origin of its earlier name, Khalifatabad which appears for the first time as a mint-town in 1516 A.D. in Sultan Nusrat Shah's coinage. Both the names, though curious, are certaintly significent, but what precisely these signiify or to whom they owe their origin are now largely a matter of conjecture. The area around Bagerhat, particularly the antiquity-zone, seems to have been the least friendly tract in remote past to attract urban habitation.


Destination Dhaka: Urban Migration: Expectations and Reality

Heavy concentration of population within the capital cities of developing countries creates a concomitant demand for goods and services. The government administrative organization is unable to deliver a well-co-ordinated monitoring system for a planned environment (Alam and Begum, 1996). The problems arise in the absence of a developed, planned and guided system, or in other words, a blueprint for optimum growth of infrastructure, services, employment education and health care for the requisite stipulated population. Governments are the apex agencies which monitor the desired expansion of the cities and intervene whenever necessary.

Equation Fiha

That colour never appeals to him. In his opinion, violet doesn't appeal to anyone. However, the law states all restaurants have to be violet. Doors, windows, curtains and even the synthetic marble on the floors must be violet. You can tell what sorts of food will be available from the different shades of the colour. A very light violet would imply that the particular testaurant has nothing other than drinks. A dark violet would mean the restaurant is the best place for a full meal.

SOA Governance : Achieving And Sustaining Business And IT Agility

As enterprises move to implement Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), they increasingly recognize that SOA will only meet its potential if it can be governed well. SOA Governance responds to this crucial realization. In this book, a team of IBM's leading SOA governance experts share hard-won best practices for effectively governing IT in any service-oriented environment. The authors begin by reviewing SOA's promised benefits, and identifying inadequate governance as a root cause when SOA fails. Next, they introduce a comprehensive SOA governance model that works. They define what must be governed, identify key stakeholders, and review the relationship of SOA governance to existing governance bodies, and to processes like CoBIT and ITIL. In Part II, they walk through SOA governance assessment and planning, helping readers identify and fix gaps, set goals and objectives, and establish workable roadmaps. Finally, they turn to the details of "building out" an SOA governance model: establishing authority chains, roles, responsibilities, policies, standards, mechanisms, procedures, and metrics. Along the way, the authors illuminate the unique issues associated applying IT governance to a services model - including the challenges of compliance auditing where service behavior can be unpredictable. They also show why services governance requires a more organizational, business-centric focus than "conventional" IT governance - and how to successfully achieve that focus.
