Interpellation (politics)
Interpellation is a formal parliamentary procedure through which members of parliament request that the government explain, clarify, or justify its policies, actions, or decisions. Typically presented in written or oral form, this process mandates that the government respond within a specified timeframe and may lead to subsequent debates or even votes of no confidence. The primary objectives of interpellation are to ensure governmental accountability—upholding the principles of responsible government—as well as to monitor the exercise of executive power and safeguard against its abuse while promoting transparency and public participation in policy deliberations. Interpellation in parliamentary politics can be traced back to Latin and French. The term comes from the Latin verb ''interpellāre,'' meaning “to interrupt by speaking” or “to call out.” The word was subsequently absorbed into medieval French as “interpellation,” retaining the meaning of “to call ou ...

Push Technology
Push technology, also known as server Push, refers to a communication method, where the communication is initiated by a server rather than a client. This approach is different from the " pull" method where the communication is initiated by a client. In push technology, clients can express their preferences for certain types of information or data, typically through a process known as the publish–subscribe model. In this model, a client "subscribes" to specific information channels hosted by a server. When new content becomes available on these channels, the server automatically sends, or "pushes," this information to the subscribed client. Under certain conditions, such as restrictive security policies that block incoming HTTP requests, push technology is sometimes simulated using a technique called polling. In these cases, the client periodically checks with the server to see if new information is available, rather than receiving automatic updates. General use Synchronous ...
