Modern Districts of India forming the Konkan


Konkan, also known as the Konkan Coast or Kokan, is a rugged section of the western coastline of India. It is a 720 kilometres (450 miles) long coastline. It consists of the coastal districts of the Western Indian states of Maharashtra, Goa, and the South Indian state of Karnataka. The ancient Saptakonkana is a slightly larger region. The region is known as Karavali in Karnataka.

Etymology




Deogad Beach in Sindhudurg district, Konkan region,Maharashtra


According to the Sahyadrikhanda of the Skanda Purana, Parashurama shot his arrow into the sea and commanded the Sea God to recede up to the point where his arrow landed. The new piece of land thus recovered came to be known as Sapta-Konkana, meaning "piece of earth", "corner of earth", or "piece of corner", derived from Sanskrit words: koṇa (कोण, corner) + kaṇa (कण, piece).[1][2]Xuanzang, the noted Chinese Buddhist monk, mentioned this region in his book as Konkana Desha; Varahamihira's Brihat-Samhita described Konkan as a region of India; and 15th century author Ratnakosh mentioned the word Konkandesha.[3]



Geography


Konkan extends throughout the western coasts of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka.[3] It is bounded by the Western Ghats mountain range (also known as Sahyadri) in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west, the Mayura River in the north and the Gangavalli River in the south.


The Gangavali flows in the district of Uttara Kannada in present-day Karnataka. Its northern bank constitutes the southernmost portion of Konkan. The towns of Karwar, Ankola, Kumta, Honavar and Bhatkal fall within the Konkan coast. The exact identity of the Mayura River, the northern limits of the historic Konkan, is indeterminate.

Why https connections are so slow when debugging (stepping over) in Java?

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I'm trying to debug some problems with my Java code, which establishes a http/https connection. I'm wondering why the connection gets ridiculously slow (more than one minute for downloading a small web page) when debugging, even when stepping-over the method which does the network work. And if there is some remedy. Below I post an example (you can change https: to http: , and try debugging this from Eclipse pressing F11 - for stepping, place a breakpoint in the first main() statement, and press F6 when it pauses there. My results (time in milliseconds) : conn time total time http (not stepping) 60 350 http (stepping over) 1100 1500 https (not stepping) 570 1300 https (stepping over) 21000 83000
