History of Online Insurance:
The main concept of insurance - that of spreading risk - has been around as long as human existence as people have always been wary of risk. The first written insurance policy appeared in ancient times on a Babylonian obelisk monument with the code of King Hammurabi carved into it. The "Hammurabi Code" was one of the first forms of written laws. These ancient laws were extreme in most respects, but it offered basic insurance in that a debtor didn't have to pay back his loans if some personal catastrophe made it impossible (disability, death, flooding, etc.).
Insurance, as we know it today, can be traced to the Great Fire of London, which in 1666 devoured more than 13,000 houses. The devastating effects of the fire converted the development of insurance from a matter of convenience into one of urgency. London was still recovering from the plague had that ravaged it a year earlier, and many survivors found themselves without homes. As a response to the chaos and outrage that followed the burning of London, groups of underwriters who had dealt exclusively in marine insurance formed insurance companies that offered fire insurance. By 1654, Blaise Pascal, the Frenchman who gave us the first calculator, and his countryman Pierre de Fermat had discovered a way to express probabilities and, thereby, understand levels of risk. Pascal's triangle led to the first actuary tables that were, and still are, used when calculating insurance rates. These formalized the practice of underwriting and made insurance more affordable. Armed with Pascal's triangle, these companies quickly expanded their range of business. By 1693, the first mortality table was created using Pascal's triangle and life insurance soon followed.
A number of attempted fire insurance schemes came to nothing, but in 1681 Nicholas Barbon, and eleven associates, established England's first fire insurance company, the 'Insurance Office for Houses', at the back of the Royal Exchange.
Insurance Market
In the late 1680s, Edward Lloyd opened a coffee house in London that became a popular haunt of ship owners, sailors, merchants, and ships' captains, and thereby a reliable source of the latest shipping news. It became the meeting place for parties wishing to insure cargoes and ships, and those willing to underwrite such ventures. The shipping industry community frequented the place to discuss insurance deals among themselves.
The insurance market essentially began in Edward Lloyd's coffee house around 1688 in Tower Street, London. Just after Christmas 1691, the coffee shop relocated to Lombard Street. This arrangement carried on until 1774, long after Lloyd's death in 1713, when the participating members of the insurance arrangement formed a committee and moved to the Royal Exchange on Cornhill as The Society of Lloyd's.
Today, Lloyd's of London remains the leading market (note that it is an insurance market rather than a company) for marine and other specialist types of insurance, but it operates rather differently than the more familiar kinds of insurance.
FEATURES OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM
WINDOWS XP
The Windows operating system started with the introduction of Windows OS and Windows for work group for networking. Since then it has come a long way and windows 95,98,2000 family of operating systems were introduced. It is succeeded by windows Vista. Windows XP provided the computer user with the most integrated and easy to use operating system with all the facilities in built. The Windows XP is the newborn baby in the windows family. It is built on the Windows 2000 concept ands framework .It has more features to provide the user with greater stability, security and enhanced performance.
Windows XP is the most popular Operating system presently and has many features which make it the best. Some of its best features are:
1. Built on the Windows engine: Windows XP Professional is built on the proven code base of Windows NT and Windows 2000, which features a 32-bit computing architecture and a fully protected memory model.
2. Enhanced device driver verifier: Building on the device driver verifier found in windows 2000, the Windows XP professional will provide even greater stress tests for device drivers.
3. Windows File Protection: Protects core system files from being overwritten by application installations. If a file is overwritten, Windows File protection will restore the correct version.
4. Windows Installer: A system service that helps users to install, configure, track, upgrade, and remove software programs correctly.
5. Scalable memory and processor support: Supports up to 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and up to two symmetric multiprocessors.
6. Internet Explorer Add-on Manager: Easily manage and enforce a list of Internet Explorer add-ons that are either permitted or disabled to enhance security.
7. Windows Firewall: Turned on by default, the built-in windows Firewall helps increase computer security from startup to shutdown.
8. Windows Security center: Easily manage security resources with this single, unified view of key settings, tools, and access to resources.
APACHE SERVER:
The Apache Project is a collaborative software development effort aimed
at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available
source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. The project is
jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using
the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and
its related documentation. These volunteers are known as the Apache Group.
In addition, hundreds of users have contributed ideas, code, and
documentation to the project. This file is intended to briefly describe the history of the Apache Group, recognize the many contributors, and explain how you can join the fun too.
SYSTEM STUDY AND ANALYSIS
EXISTING SYSTEM
The effectiveness of the system depends on the way in which the data is organized. In the existing system, much of the data is entered manually and it can be very time consuming. When records are accessed frequently, managing such records becomes difficult. Therefore organizing data becomes difficult. The major limitations are:
1. Modifications are complicated
2. Much time consuming
3. Error prone
4. Unauthorized access of data
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is designed to meet all the disadvantages of the existing one. The proposed system is better and more efficient than existing system. It is designed keeping in mind all the drawbacks of the present system to provide a permanent solution to them
The primary aim of the new system is to speed up the transactions. User friendliness is another peculiarity of the proposed system. Messages are displayed in message boxes to make the system user friendly. The main advantage of the proposed system is the reduction in labor as it will be possible so search the details of various places. Every record is checked for completeness and accuracy and then it is entered into the Database.
