‘SINGULARIZE’ Your web browser just like an e-mail.

Why ‘Singularized’ Browsing?

The World Wide Web is often a real concern for people, as almost everyone among educated people spends at least a few minutes a day on the Internet. Browser safety is of top priority now-a-days. Browsers are the most common gateway to the Internet. Now the users have several choices from Internet Explorer to Rockmelt, the latest avatar. The Browser war between Internet Explorer of Microsoft (43.8%), Mozilla Firefox (29.7%) and Google Chrome(13%) is still going on.

Every popular browser has informative and fun widgets, thousands of add-ons to customize and enhance the user’s web browsing experience with categories include blogging, tools, entertainment, humor, news, privacy and security, and more. The user can add style to browser with skins and themes so that the user can expect a richer media experience with fewer format problems and plug-ins getting in the way. It is a great opportunity for someone who likes to customize and construct their ultimate browsing application. But the saddest thing is that this personalized custom browser is accessible only in his/her personal computer!

Shall we call this sort of customized browser, ultimate personal, with a new term: ‘Singularized browser’? (A non-Computer-expert can use the standard browser window as his/her Singularized browser). In almost every developing nation, Internet is accessed from same Computer by number of different users. But, everyone prefers something that is strictly personal, i.e. Singularized! That’s why, I would like to ask a simple question: ‘Do we have a Web Browser which can be ‘Singularized’ so that it could be accessed from any Computer with an internet connection? ‘No’. Then the finest browsing experience will be with a browser having an option for ‘Safe and Secured Singularized Browsing’ other than common browsing!

Actually the Internet browsing history is the real asset of the Internet user as every net user has his/her preferences of websites on daily use, i.e. a list where you can save your favorite and frequently viewed websites - often referred to as bookmarks or favorites. And almost always a user will be in need of the previous browsing history which he might delete from Computer’s other than his personal Computer due to security reasons. Can this be avoided to save ‘time’: the most precious thing?

Option for ‘Singularized’ Browsing, how?

The concept is very simple. ‘Singularize’ is a new option that can be added to any browser for ordinary web browsing. If you want to access your singularized browser from any computer with an internet connection where your browser is installed (like you have singularized Google Chrome and Chrome is installed in the Computer in which you want to access,. If not, you have to download and install ), click on to the option ‘Singularize’. Now a new window appears with login details, boxes for a User-ID and its password. The User-ID is any e-mail-ID which is secured with a password. (The password need not be the actual password!). For faster growth of the market share of a Web browser, the Browser Owner should not worry about which e-mail provider the customer is using with! The reason is very simple: Singularized browsers will not create any form of litigation as it cannot be misused!

In Singularized Browsing, the servers of the Browser owner remember the data of your last browsing session and your customized browser’s final appearance so that it could be accessed from any Computer you have access across the world, through a user ID and password! Of course you can edit the list of websites at the end of every browsing cession before logging out. It is that you decide what the servers should remember! This helps to prevent anyone else who might be using your computer from seeing where you visited and what you looked at on the web. Cookies are deleted after he/she close the Singularized browser window. The Browser Owner’s servers can easily manage the Singularized browser data as data size of Singularized browser is so small: links of widgets, add-ons and links of web browsing history! One option may be provided for the administrator so that he/she can limit the access to Singularized browsing. This has to be specially considered in case of parental control. It is that you decide what your browser must remember! It is of note that this offers virtually no privacy protection beyond the local level! (It is possible to identify frequented websites by associating the IP address with the user on the server end!)

The basic criteria for selection of a specific Web browser is depending on the following factors like features set, ease of use, security, options for frequently visited we pages list, save tabs, help and support and beyond all speed: time is the most precious factor! Now, just imagine the role of Singularized browsing option in satisfying the above factors. Such a concept can be easily realized by major players like Google and Microsoft because they have millions of servers across the world which can remember the details of every singularized browser and the history form last browsing cession, and they own e-mail service! It is high time to say Good Bye to InPrivate Browsing, Private Browsing and Browsing in Incognito mode!

Tens-4…. tame the twister

Rules and Regulations

• In a single innings, each of the bowlers can bowl a maximum of only one-fifth of the total overs i.e. 2 overs in a total of 10 overs.
• Only one new ball is allowed for a team.
• For wide balls, 1 run and 1 ball is awarded to batting team.
• If a bowler ever delivers a no-ball, the batting team gets one run for that ball and one extra ball.
• In a normal tens-4 match, the innings interval lasts for 9 minutes (first session of two innings and the last session of two innings) .But the main interval, between first and second session, will be 15 minutes.
• If and only if, each of the two teams have completed one innings, will be a match deemed to have played where result can be obtained.
• There is no follow on in tens-4. But innings victory is there.
• In each over, one bouncer and one short pitch balls are allowed.
• The first pitching distance of the ball should be 12 yards and above from the bowling end. If a ball hits the pitch less than this distance, it will be considered as a no ball.

Format
The format of a tens-4 match consists of four ten-ten innings. The game is played between two teams, each of them having two innings of 10 overs. The team, who wins the toss, can either elect to bat or field the first innings. Now their first innings score is defined. Immediately after the completion of first innings, there will be a break of 9 minutes. The first fielding team will bat now their first innings. So after the completion of these two innings, the first session of tens-4 is over. The lead will be the difference between scores of the two teams. Then there will be a break of 15 minutes. The next two innings will also be played similarly as in the first session.

Field Restrictions

• If the fielding team delays of bowling its innings within the prescribed time allotted for an innings, a penalty of reducing their overs for their batting innings will be done. This is based on the extra time they take to complete their bowling of 10 overs.
• The fielding restrictions will be as that of One-day matches.
• The power-play will be restricted to 3 overs / innings. Power-play should be completed in first six overs of the innings.
• The ground size will be a compromise between T20 and One day matches

Decisions

If the match could not complete a minimum of two innings, result will not be obtained. In such a condition, 1 point will be awarded to each team.

• If the match is delayed to start, the second session innings can be shortened to innings of minimum five overs. If the delay is more, only the first session of two innings will be played and result obtained.
• If the match is interrupted after the first session and some time is lost due to rain, the umpire can reset the innings duration based on the available time within the time schedule of the match. But in such a condition, each team should get a minimum of at least five overs for their respective innings.
• If the first innings of the second session is batted and before the completion of 5^th overs of the second innings, play is completely interrupted, then the winner is the first session top scoring team.
• In a match, if the second session is abandoned, the winner is the top scoring team of the first session.
• If there is a tie in the above situation, the team with fewer wickets lost is the winner. (Tie means equal runs for both the teams in the first session innings)
• If there is a tie in the case of wickets also, then the team who had given the least no of extras will be the winner.
• If there is a tie in the extras, then the team with maximum number of sixes will be the winner.
• If there is a tie in the number of sixes, then the team with maximum no of fours will be the winner.
• If there is a tie in the case of fours also, then 1 point will be awarded to each team.
• If the match is interrupted after the completion of 35^th over, the team having the highest run-rate will be the winner. Here we will consider the run rate of only the corresponding overs of the second batting team. (Ie, if the second batting team bats for 16 overs, the run-rate is calculated and compared with the run-rate for the first 16 overs for first batting team. Whoever has the highest run-rate, will be the winner.
• If there is a tie for run-rates, then the team who lost lesser wickets will be the winner.
• If there is tie in wickets also, the team with fewer extras will be winner…
• If there is tie in extras, the team with maximum sixes will be the winner.
• If there is tie in sixes also, the team with maximum fours will be the winner.
• If there is tie in fours also, then 1 point will be awarded to each team. This method will be adopted up to 39.5 over.
• If there is a tie at the end of 40 overs, each of the two teams nominates three batsmen and one bowler, to play a one-over per side. Whoever scores the maximum runs will be the winner. Here one important condition is also implemented:- for the loss of every wicket, two runs will be cut from the total score. If a team loses two wickets, 4 runs will be cut from their extra over. If those scores are also equal, then the game will enter into do or die.

‘Of course T20 is dead’

The game T20 explored almost all the possibilities of contemporary cricket and that’s why this capsule cricket is the most popular now among cricket fans. It lifts the spectators to a new world of uncertainties. These games are examples of pomposity and great playing skills. But, is the halo of T20 is also fading?

If you have a glance at the Indian Premier League matches, one thing is evident that the commercial break after 10 overs, kills the joy of the game. This break affects the performance of batsmen as they lose their concentration and balance of batting when the game is restarted. So shall we think of another format for a twenty over match? Shall we transform the commercial break into another enthusiastic period of time?

Today IPL T20 matches are played in four cessions of 10 overs. (Two continuous cessions of 10 overs for each team) let’s convert these for cessions into four independent innings. Now the 20 over match is transformed into a limited over test match, with innings of 10 overs.

Now each match between teams will be the fireworks of four ten-ten innings. The target will be defined only after the third innings. Imagine the tension build up at the fourth innings. The spectators will be in delirium!

Here every bowler will be allowed only two overs / innings. Each team has to use only one cricket ball for the entire game. The boundaries are set larger than the conventional T20 matches. There is no follow on in this game format. This pattern throws open a lot of possibilities to the players. If anyone fails in the first innings, he can come back through the other innings. Income of the players and BCCI will be sky-rocketing. Now the game is more tight, dynamic and unpredictable. The thrill multiplies in tones. The slogan of this cricket format, which I like to call ‘tens 4’, is ‘Beyond Tactics’. If at least one game in played in this format, even you will say ‘Of course T20 is dead!’... tens 4 total cricket..

Jai Hind...
