If you are having an account in State bank of India (SBI) and also having basic Computer knowledge and Internet browsing skills then here is the procedure on how to open Term Deposit account online.

SBI is providing Online banking facility to all its customers free of cost. There are many advantages of having online banking account. The most important one is you don’t have to visit your branch and stand in the long queues waiting for your turn. So having online account will save a lot of time. There are many more features like transferring amount form one account to another, online ticket booking, online shopping etc. Just visit your branch to get registered for online banking services.

One nice feature provided by SBI is giving the freedom to the user to open online Term Deposit account free of cost. Online term deposit is known as e-TDR/e-STDR. The difference between e-TDR and e-STDR is, In e-STDR the interest will be paid on maturity and also the minumum tenure is 180 days and the maximum tenure is 10 years. In e-TDR the interest will be paid at regular intervals based on customer choice. The minimum tenure for e-TDR is 7 days and max tenure is 10 years. For both e-TDR and e-STDR the minumum amount for deposit is Rs.1000/-

Now here is the procedure for opening online e-TDR/e-STDR account.

    Login with your user name and password. Go to Requests tab.
    Before directly opening online e-TDR/e-STDR, just enquire about the maturity value by clicking on Enquiry tab for knowing the exact interest for a particular amount with out opening e-TDR/e-STDR account.
    You are in Requests tab, and click on open e-TDR/e-STDR online.
    Follow the wizard. After opening the account download the pdf which serves as your online receipt.

That’s it.

After the maturity the interest will be credited back to the funding account. You can cancel your e-TDR/e-STDR account and the amount will be get credited back to your SBI account.

If you want to know SBI Fixed Deposit interest rates then visit SBI Interest Rates on FD.

C Pointers Fundamentals Explained with Examples – Part I

Anybody who is working on Linux environment (not just developers), should understand the fundamentals of C programming language and write some basic C program.
This article is part of our ongoing series on C programming language.
The concept of pointers is one of the most powerful fundamentals of C/C++ language.

Through pointers a developer can directly access memory from his/her code which makes memory related operations very fast. But, as always, with great power comes great responsibility.
A developer has to very carefully make use of pointers in order to avoid some problems that can be nightmare to debug.
In this article we will study the very basic concept of pointers with examples in C language.

What are Pointers?

Different from other normal variables which can store values, pointers are special variables that can hold the address of a variable. Since they store memory address of a variable, the pointers are very commonly said to “point to variables”. Lets try to understand the concept.

As shown in the above diagram:

• A normal variable ‘var’ has a memory address of 1001 and holds a value 50.
• A pointer variable has its own address 2047 but stores 1001, which is the address of the variable ‘var’

How to Declare a Pointer?

A pointer is declared as :

<pointer type> *<pointer-name>

In the above declaration :

1. pointer-type : It specifies the type of pointer. It can be int,char, float etc. This type specifies the type of variable whose address this pointer can store.
2. pointer-name : It can be any name specified by the user. Professionally, there are some coding styles which every code follows. The pointer names commonly start with ‘p’ or end with ‘ptr’

An example of a pointer declaration can be :

char *chptr;

In the above declaration, ‘char’ signifies the pointer type, chptr is the name of the pointer while the asterisk ‘*’ signifies that ‘chptr’ is a pointer variable.

How to initialize a Pointer?

A pointer is initialized in the following way :

<pointer declaration(except semicolon)> = <address of a variable>

OR 

<pointer declaration>
<name-of-pointer> = <address of a variable>

Note that the type of variable above should be same as the pointer type.(Though this is not a strict rule but for beginners this should be kept in mind).
For example :

char ch = 'c';
char *chptr = &ch; //initialize 

OR 

char ch = 'c';
char *chptr;
chptr = &ch //initialize

In the code above, we declared a character variable ch which stores the value ‘c’. Now, we declared a character pointer ‘chptr’ and initialized it with the address of variable ‘ch’.
Note that the ‘&’ operator is used to access the address of any type of variable.

How to Use a Pointer?

A pointer can be used in two contexts.
Context 1: For accessing the address of the variable whose memory address the pointer stores.
Again consider the following code :

   char ch = 'c';
   char *chptr = &ch;

Now, whenever we refer the name ‘chptr’ in the code after the above two lines, then compiler would try to fetch the value contained by this pointer variable, which is the address of the variable (ch) to which the pointer points. i.e. the value given by ‘chptr’ would be equal to ‘&ch’.
For example :

char *ptr = chptr;

The value held by ‘chptr’ (which in this case is the address of the variable ‘ch’) is assigned to the new pointer ‘ptr’.
Context 2: For accessing the value of the variable whose memory address the pointer stores.
Continuing with the piece of code used above :

char ch = 'c';
char t;
char *chptr = &ch;
t = *chptr;

We see that in the last line above, we have used ‘*’ before the name of the pointer. What does this asterisk operator do?
Well, this operator when applied to a pointer variable name(like in the last line above) yields the value of the variable to which this pointer points. Which means, in this case ‘*chptr’ would yield the value kept at address held by chptr. Since ‘chptr’ holds the address of variable ‘ch’ and value of ‘ch’ is ‘c’, so ‘*chptr’ yeilds ‘c’.
When used with pointers, the asterisk ‘*’ operator is also known as ‘value of’ operator.

An Example of C Pointers

Consider the following code :
CODE :

#include <stdio.h> 

int main(void)
{
    char ch = 'c';
    char *chptr = &ch; 

    int i = 20;
    int *intptr = &i; 

    float f = 1.20000;
    float *fptr = &f; 

    char *ptr = "I am a string"; 

    printf("\n [%c], [%d], [%f], [%c], [%s]\n", *chptr, *intptr, *fptr, *ptr, ptr);

    return 0;
}

OUTPUT :

$ ./pointers 

 [c], [20], [1.200000], [I], [I am a string]

To debug a C program, use gdb. The above code covers all the common pointers. The first three of them are very trivial now to understand so lets concentrate on the fourth one. In the fourth example, a character pointer points to a string.
In C, a string is nothing but an array of characters. So we have no staring pointers in C. Its the character pointers that are used in case of strings too.
Now, coming to the string, when we point a pointer to a string, by default it holds the address of the first character of the string. Lets try to understand it better.
The string, ‘I am String’ in memory is placed as :

1001   1002    1003    1004   1005   1006   1007   1008   1009   1010
I      a       m       S      t      r      i      n      g      \0

Since characters occupy one byte each, so they are placed like above in the memory. Note the last character, its a null character which is placed at the end of every string by default in C. This null character signifies the end of the string.
Now coming back to the point, any character pointer pointing to a string stores the address of the first character of the string. In the code above, ‘ptr’ holds the address of the character ‘I’ ie 1001. Now, when we apply the ‘value of’ operator ‘*’ to ‘ptr’, we intend to fetch the value at address 1001 which is ‘I’ and hence when we print ‘*ptr’, we get ‘I’ as the output.
Also, If we specify the format specifier as ‘%s’ and use ‘ptr’ (which contains the starting address of the string), then the complete string is printed using printf. The concept is that %s specifier requires the address of the beginning byte of string to display the complete string, which we provided using ‘ptr’ (which we know holds the beginning byte address of the string). This we can see as the last print in the output above.

Pointers as Structure Objects

Consider the following code :
CODE:

#include<stdio.h> 

struct st{
int a;
char ch;
}; 

int main(void)
{
    struct st obj;
    struct st *stobj = &obj; 

    stobj->a = 5;
    stobj->ch = 'a'; 

    printf("\n [%d] [%c]\n", stobj->a, stobj->ch);
    return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

$ ./pointers 

 [5] [a]

In the above code, we have declared a pointer stobj of type ‘struct st’. Now since the pointer type is a structure, so the address it points to has to be of a ‘struct st’ type variable(which in this case is ‘obj’). Other interesting part is how structure elements are accessed using pointer variable ‘stobj’. Yes, When dealing with pointer objects, its a standard to use arrow operator -> instead of ‘.’ operator(which would have been used, had we used ‘obj’ to access the structure elements).
To conclude, In this article we studied the concept of pointers in C from scratch and then slowly built upon our understanding to more complex topics like using pointers as structure objects. This was a basic tutorial, we will cover more complex pointer concepts in the part-II of this article.

8 Android Browser Alternatives!

If you are bored of Android stock browser and wish to try some browser alternatives in your Android phone, you have a host of them to lay your hands on. Here is a list of eight Android browser alternatives that have been updated within the last six months. These browsers are primarily meant to view English language websites. All these browsers support Flash Video immediately after they are installed.

Boat Browser
Similar to the desktop Web browser, Boat Browser brings tabs set along the top. Users just have to tap the '+' button on the right end of the tab toolbar to open the new tab. Then enter a site's address in the URL box below the tabs. The browser scrolls the tab toolbar and URL box up, off-screen automatically once the page is fully loaded to show you more of the Web page, says a PCWorld report. If you wish to switch to another tab, you can tap an icon on the toolbar that runs along the bottom of the browser. The browser comes with a GUI where users can swipe side-to-side through thumbnails of the pages. One simply needs to tap a thumbnail to see that page.

Dolphin Browser HD
In Dolphin Browser HD, the tabs work exactly in the same fashion they do in Boat Browser -- and when a Web page is completely loaded, the browser will scroll it slightly down the tab toolbar and URL box off-screen. It features gesture user interfaces, like- if you scribble a "<" on the touchscreen, the Web browser will return to the previous page viewed by you. Its mini version is also there, which offers more features than the HD one. It comes with extra tools like screenshot capturing, data backup and private browsing. However, HD can use add-ons. Mini works on older versions of Android, starting from 1.6, while HD requires at least 2.0.1.

Firefox (Android version)
If you swipe the browsing window toward the left, it shows a sidebar with thumbnails of your active pages. These are not tabs but the way of interaction with these thumbnails is the same. You will find a '+' mark at the bottom of the sidebar which can be tapped to open a new page. Similar to its desktop counterpart, the Android version of Firefox comes with its own add-ons functionality. Mozilla has provided a separate beta version with bugfixes and experimental new features. This version is frequently updated.

Maxthon Browser
In this browser, users can find the tabs set along the top. Users can simply tap the "+" button on the right side of the tab toolbar to open a new window and enter a URL to proceed. Maxthon browser also features gesture interactivity like Dolphin browser. Similar to Firefox, it uses add-ons.

Miren Browser
Miren Browser lists the pages as tabs along the top. Tapping the "+" button on the right side of this tab toolbar opens a page with a URL box. The pages are shown in full-screen mode in this browser because of its default setting. Users can tap the button on the lower-right of the screen to get the Android OS status indicator bar that runs along the top.

NetFront Life Browser
NetFront Life is not like the traditional browsers. If you like unconventional things, you must try this one. NetFront Life browser shows bookmarks and browsing history through a 3D graphics user interface. You simply need to flip like folders in a filing cabinet, or record LPs in a rack.

Ninesky Browser
In this browser, tabs are placed at the top. The browser hides them by scrolling down whenever loading a Web page is completed. Users can move to another tab by tapping an icon on a toolbar along the bottom. A window pops up to show thumbnails of your active pages that you can tap to access them. The browser features extensions (i.e. add-ons) capability.

Opera Mobile
Opera Mobile browser brings along a prominently displayed navigation bar. But it can disappear when you view a Web page. Users can tap an icon on this bar to see thumbnails of all open pages. From here, one can simply tap and jump to the other page. This browser takes a few seconds longer to start up, unlike Android stock.

8 Tips To Save Your Android Phone Battery

With its big screen and faster processor, your Android smartphone's battery is ought to drain out faster than you wish.           

A major issue faced by Android phone users is its battery drainage problem. With its big screen and fast processor, the battery is ought to drain out. In fact, you are lucky if you get 24 hours out of it. Hence, to avoid such battery woes, we bring to you a list of 9 tips for saving your phone battery.

1. Find out apps and components that consume more power
The first step to increase battery life is to find out the apps and components that consume most of the power. A CNET report says that users can press the Menu key, tap Settings, scroll to the bottom of the Settings menu and tap About Phone. One can know about the battery consumption just by tapping Tap Battery Use in this menu.

2. Use the screen wisely
The bigger display of the Android phone puts the maximum load on its battery. Set a short timeout to make sure that the screen goes dark when you are not actively using the device. You can do that by tapping Display from the Settings menu. Then tap Screen timeout and set a new time for timout. In addition, you can also control the brightness. The Display menu has the option to select brightness levels. You can either select constant screen brightness or enable automatic adjustment to suit the ambient light. Choose the 'Power saving mode', which enables the variations in brightness levels depending upon the picture. Users are advised to immediately tap power button whenever they are finished with the phone, which instantly turns off the screen.

3. Turn off the features that you're not using
Radio interfaces definitely solve the purpose of a smartphone but eat-up a lot of battery as well. You can drag the Notification bar down to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Keep these services off unless you are actively using them. Turn on the GPS a few minutes before you need it.

4. Quit apps properly if not in use
It's a common practice to use the home button for getting out of any apps, but this leaves the apps open in the background. Quit an application properly by pressing Back if you wish to move out of it to save battery.

5. Resist using a lot of widgets
Widgets are useful, but many of them like news tickers or weather forecasters need a lot of processing time and data downloads for regular updates. Keep away from having too many widgets on your home screen. You can instead create application shortcuts and run them when you need them.

Similar is the case with Android's live wallpapers. They might look good but they drain the battery constantly.

6. Get rid of checking e-mails often
Checking e-mails very often eats up a lot of power. So avoid doing that. Get started with Android's E-mail app and tap an account, then press the Menu key, tap More and choose Account settings. Tap E-mail Check Frequency and choose Every Hour, then repeat for any other mail accounts. You can enable the settings for social media applications like TweetDeck too.

7. Avoid too many videos and games
Android phones make great radios, music or movie players, but video playback is one of the major reasons of battery drainage. Be restrictive when you use your iPlayer or play Angry Birds, Stair Dismount or any other game. Overuse can leave you powerless.

8. In an emergency
Android devices warn about low battery when it is left with only 15 per cent charge. As soon as you see this alert, head to the notifications bar immediately and turn off as many options as possible. Also, hold in the power button and turn off Data network mode. Make sure that you exit all non-essential apps, return to the Home screen and turn the screen off. From this point it is advisable to your smart phone as just a phone.

Indian Railways to roll out new e-ticketing service

Indian Railways is all set to roll out its own e-ticketing service, which will have no room for travel agents and will be reserved for individual users.

"Unlike the e-ticketing service of IRCTC, the new service by Indian Railway will have no role of travel agents and commercial organisations. Only individual users will be allowed to book on the portal," said a Railway official.

Travel agents in the IRCTC service have been accused of blocking tickets to sell them at a premium.

Public resentment has also led the railways to bar travel agents from booking tatkal tickets during peak hours on the IRCTC portal.

Under the new railway e-ticketing service, individual customers would need to register themselves for the first time for availing the services. The registration will be free of charge.

A maximum of eight transaction per user ID per month will be allowed in the beginning, the official said, adding, the service charges levied will be Rs five per ticket for sleeper class and Rs 10 per ticket for all other classes.

IRCTS charges Rs 10 per ticket for sleeper class and Rs 20 per ticket for all other classes.

The new service will be available on its web portal www.indianrailways.gov.in.

Its launch will be announced after necessary clearance for payment gateway transaction, the official said.

The service will be available from 12.30 am to 11.30 pm.

"The project was sanctioned with a view to consolidate all the services and information on a single window interface for public," the official said.

He said the service will provide passengers another avenue to book tickets, while easing the pressure from the IRCTC website considerably.

On offer is also a service for booking tickets on the mobile platform.

Customers desirous of utilising the facility and having Internet facilities will have to download mobile ticketing application on mobile phones from Indian Railway's website, the official said.

Tracking facility for freight trains running and parcel status by customers would be among a host of other features that the portal is expected to introduce shortly.

8 easy tips to avoid cellphone radiation

If you are worried about recent revelations about cell phone radiation by the WHO, do not despair. There are a number of ways in which you can safeguard yourself to to a large extent.

According to well-known American non-government organization Environmental Working Group, or EWS, cellphone users can follow these tips to reduce the risk of exposure to cancerous electro-magnetic rays that cellphones may be emitting.

1. Buy a low-radiation phone

Always try to look up buyers' guide or Internet, or seek experts' advise to know about the radiation levels of your phone, or the model you intend to buy.

Most phones' model numbers are printed under the battery. Consider replacing your phone with one that emits the lowest radiation possible and still meets your communication needs.

2. 4 money-saving smartphone apps

Headsets - whether Bluetooth or wired - emit much less radiation than phones. Choose either wired or wireless according to convenience and your needs.

However, it is not advisable to continuously wear the headsets above the ears as most Bluetooth headsets emit continuous, low-level radiation. So take it off your ear when you're not on a call. Using your phone in speaker mode also minimises radiation to the head.

3. Poor signal? Stay away from phone

Fewer signal bars on your phone means that it emits much higher radiation to get the signal to the tower. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal, instead of incessantly using it and cursing your mobile operator.

Remember, it is your brain that will be getting fried due to poor signal!

4. Skip the radiation shield

Radiation shields such as antenna caps or keypad covers reduce the connection quality and force the phone to transmit at a much higher power with higher radiation. So while they may be protecting your phone, it is at the cost of your own health.

5. Limit children's phone use

Young children's brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation as those of adults. Along with health agencies in at least 6 countries, EWG has recommended parents to set up limits for children's cell phone use, such as for emergency situations only.

They may be encouraged to either make short, sweet conversations, or use the good, old landline phones.

6.Listen more, talk less

Cellphones emit maximum radiation when you talk or text, but not when you're receiving messages or listening. Hence, the age-old saying of listening more and talking less can come in handy here in reducing your exposure level.

7. Hold phone away from body

Hold the phone away from your torso when you're talking (with headset or speaker), not against your ear, in a pocket, or on your belt where soft body tissues continuously absorb radiation.

Even while sleeping, avoid keeping it under the pillow or next to you. It should ideally be kept a few feet away even if you want to keep it handy just in case the President or the Prime Minister decide to call upon you in the dead of night.

8. Choose texting over talking

Phones use less power (and hence less radiation) to send out text than voice communication. And unlike when you speak with the phone placed next to your ear, texting keeps radiation away from your head

Send Your Views, Feedback on Black Money to bm-feedback at nic.in

Hi Friends, raise ur voice against 'BLACK MONEY' send a mail to bm-feedback@nic.in

The issue of black money has been rocking India for a while. The issue first came up during 2009 Lok Sabha elections when the BJP has promised to disclose all the Swiss Accounts and bring all the block money saved in Swiss Bank back to India and also announced that it will be declared as national wealth. After the completion of elections, Baba Ramdev has taken up the issue of black money and went on Satyagraha for 8 days during June 2011. Though no immediate decision has been expected from the Govt. of India, it has come up with an idea to collect the feed back of citizens through internet. Now anybody can send a mail to Govt. of India expressing their concerns and opinions on black money. The email id is bm-feedback@nic.in . Public can send their ideas and views on tackling various issues arising out of the menace of black money.

The email bm-feedback@nic.in was created on the server of the National Informatics Centre. General public can immediately send their opinions. They can suggest any measures like imposing huge penalties and punishments and making penal provisions to deal with the issue of black money. In response to the growing concern over the scale and impact of black money from people of various walks of life, the Government of India has also formed a committee headed by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Prakash Chandra. The committee will work on devising new strategies to deal with the issue. The Prakash Chandra committee is expected to submit its recommendations to the Center in the coming six months.

The email account bm-feedback@nic.in will be continuously monitored by the officials of Finance Ministry, Govt. of India. The ministry would place the aggregated messages / mails before Prakash Chandra committee.

Nokia CEO's letter to employees

Finland-based Nokia faces a key test this week when chief executive Stephen Elop finally unveils a plan to reverse a sharp slide in the fortunes of the world's number one mobile phone maker.

Nokia holds a strategy and financial briefing in London on Friday, two weeks after it reported a 21 percent slump in fourth quarter earnings and Elop promised: "The industry's changed and now it's time for Nokia to change faster."

Engadget has reprinted a copy of the text from an internal Nokia memo from the CEO Elop to the company's employees. Here's over to the letter which several analysts have termed 'brutually honest'.


Hello there, 

There is a pertinent story about a man who was working on an oil platform in the North Sea. He woke up one night from a loud explosion, which suddenly set his entire oil platform on fire. In mere moments, he was surrounded by flames. Through the smoke and heat, he barely made his way out of the chaos to the platform's edge. When he looked down over the edge, all he could see were the dark, cold, foreboding Atlantic waters. 

As the fire approached him, the man had mere seconds to react. He could stand on the platform, and inevitably be consumed by the burning flames. Or, he could plunge 30 meters in to the freezing waters. The man was standing upon a "burning platform," and he needed to make a choice. 

He decided to jump. It was unexpected. In ordinary circumstances, the man would never consider plunging into icy waters. But these were not ordinary times - his platform was on fire. The man survived the fall and the waters. After he was rescued, he noted that a "burning platform" caused a radical change in his behaviour.

Mobile Phones Emit Radiation, Unsafe: Govt Panel
