Global Webname Registration Service What is the DNS? The Internet was built on the notion that any computer on a global network can be identified by its numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address. But since people, and not machines, are the primary users of the Internet, a more people-friendly naming system called the Domain Name System (DNS) was invented. DNS maps a host name like www.opensrs.org to the IP address of the machine that hosts the OpenSRS web site. For example, DNS actually maps the host name universal-webnames.com to the IP address 216.157.33.128 DNS is built upon the notion that some server's are 'authoritative' (meaning, knows all there is to know) for certain domains. A distributed name server hierarchy, beginning with the A Root Server and ending at the thousands of nameservers active on the Internet, ensures that the naming and directing system works the same from anywhere. What is a domain name? Top Level Domain (TLD) The portion of a traditional domain name that comes after the dot. eg: for universal-webnames.com, the top level domain is .com. The generic top level domains (gTLDs) are .com, .net and .org; there are also country code top level domains (ccTLDs) such as .ca, or .uk. Second Level Domain (SLD) The portion of a traditional domain name that comes before the dot. eg: for universal-webnames.com, the second level domain is universal-webnames

W ccTLD (Country Code Top Level Domain) Every country (and a few territories) in the world has a reserved, two letter country code domain that is theirs to use as they see fit. Some countries run their own ccTLD registry, others outsource it to a private company, and still others sell rights to their ccTLD to third parties to run as they see fit. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca (Canada), .us (United States), and .to (Tonga). In general, these are registered by businesses with a coincidental link to the TLD in question. For example: .to is used more by Torontonians than Tongans and .tv has more American television content than native Tuvalu culture. CGI (Common Gateway Interface) A set of rules that describe how a Web Server communicates with another piece of software on the same machine, and how the other piece of software (the `CGI program`) talks to the web server. Any piece of software can be a CGI program if it handles input and output according to the CGI standard. Usually a CGI program is a small program that takes data from a web server and does something with it, like putting the content of a form into an e-mail message, or turning the data into a database query. Co-Location A hosting service that simply stores and maintains a customer's server.

TUVALU THE PARADISE ISLANDS OF POLYNESIA The Tuvalu Message Forum Tuvalu Islands Online Send a free Tuvalu ePostcard ! Tuvalu comprises a chain, 580 kilometres long, of nine coral islands lying between 5 and 11 degrees south of the equator, just to the west of the International Date Line. Six of the islands are built around lagoons open to the ocean. These islands are: Nanumea Nui Vaitupu, Nukufetau, ... Funafuti and Nukulaelae. With the exception of Vaitupu where the sea enters the lagoon at only one point, these six are all atolls consisting of numerous pieces of land linked by a reef and arranged rather like a string of beads. Of the other islands, Nanumaga and Niutao have completely landlocked lagoons while Niulakita has no lagoon at all, but only a swamp at its centre. Since it has never had a permanent population Niulakita, the southern most island, was not taken into account in the naming of the Tuvalu group. Tuvalu means "eight islands standing together". The formation of coral islands was a topic of considerable scientific argument in the 19 th century. The question that particularly bothered scientists was this: since corals grow only at shallow depths in the sea (not below 80 metres), how is it that coral rock, formed from their remains, often extends for hundreds of metres beneath the sea?

Presentation of new policies Early Childhood Care and Development Activities The Government of Tuvalu through the Department of Education has given priority and is convinced that human resource development, especially through education and training, has a key role to play in the future prosperity of the nation. The broad mission of the human resource development strategy (including education and training) is to enable future economic growth, to ensure efficient and effective delivery of education and training services, and to provide for long term sustainability. Early Childhood care in Tuvalu has always been something that all families in Tuvalu do. Caring for younger members of the family has always been, and still is, the major role of older members of the family or the community in general (aunts and grandparents). Tuvalu through its educational programs has reinforced and emphasized the importance of their roles and contributions in caring for their children. Awareness programs for parents have been reinforced through the Basic Education Life Skills (BELS), especially its Community Support component, where parents are made more aware of their particular roles at home. Our short and medium goal is to construct school buildings for all pre-schools and provide 100% of well-qualified teachers teaching in schools.

Pacific News member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.
