[chottala.com] To make Bangladesh better than Malaysia-1


Show and Make the Nation Realize Value of Time


Time is the most valuable after life in this world. Well all know it. But as a nation do we give due value to time? To evaluate something, we need to realize the value of that thing. Do you realize the value of time as a nation? This is no sign that as a nation we give due value to time. But there are lots of signs that we don't value time. From university teachers to laymen, we hardly evaluate time. Delaying in marking the answer sheet of examination by the university teachers clearly reveals how teachers give value to the time of students. Students frequently ask for deferring their exam. They engage intentionally in violence to lead their institutes closed sin die so that exams are deferred. If our educated people like teachers and students of highest educational institutes were aware of value of time, they could not cause such of loss of time.

However, to develop as a nation we must give due value to time. But we can't make the nation aware of value of time by asking students to memorize the essay ''Value of Time'. If we could make the students realize the value of time by memorization of such essay, then as a nation we would value time, we would be developed nation.
S0 we need mechanism for making people realize the value of time. We need mechanism so that people can see value of time.

What is the mechanism? How can we make people, teachers, students, workers, employer, employee see value of time?

London's Hyde Park is hosting a concert to honour Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday, whose visit to London has been largely overshadowed by the presidential run-off election in Zimbabwe.

Actor Will Smith and musicians Queen, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Amy Winehouse and some of Africa's top singers were among the stars performing on Friday.

Mandela was joined by a crowd of 46,664 people for the charity concert to raise money for his HIV/Aids organisation "46664", named after his prison number.

The event comes 20 years after a tribute gig at Wembley Stadium to honour Mandela when he was still behind bars for his stand against the apartheid system in South Africa.

Despite the array of stars, the biggest cheers of the night were reserved for Mandela, who told the crowd that the 1988 concert had made a difference.

"Your voices carried across the water to inspire us in our prison cells far away," he said. "We are honoured to be back in London for this wonderful celebration.

"But even as we celebrate, let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete."

'Humble and kind'

Many of the people in the crowd appeared to be at the gig more to honour Mandela than to hear the music.

Clive Jones, a 31-year-old theatre technician, said: "I'm here because of the man. I feel he's done so much for the world, especially with what was happening in South Africa. He is also humble and kind."

Emmanuel Jal, a Sudanese hip-hop artist based in London who is singing on Friday, said Mandela was "unique" among African leaders.

"He did not love power so much, and left it and gave it to someone else."

Jerry Dammers, who helped organise the 1988 concert and whose song "Free Nelson Mandela" became a banner for the anti-apartheid movement in Britain in the 1980s, took to the stage.

But one of the highlights was Winehouse, who is due to appear despite being diagnosed with a "touch of" the lung condition emphysema earlier this month.

The 24-year-old has fought drug addiction and her husband is awaiting sentencing for an attack on a pub landlord in 2006 and for conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

'Love and reconciliation'

Hollywood actor Smith, who addressed a cheering crowd at the start of the event, said: "Peter Gabriel once said, 'if the world could have one father the man who we could choose to be our father would be Nelson Mandela'

"Nelson Mandela has taught us about love and reconciliation, taught us about justice."

Mandela, South Africa's first black president, officially retired from politics nine years ago but an important voice on political and social matters around the world.

During his stay in Britain, Mandela uttered a few words of criticism of Mugabe, but they made headline news.

In a speech at a dinner on Wednesday, he said that there had been a "tragic failure of leadership" in Zimbabwe.

Terror label erased

As the celebrations continued in London, the US Congree voted to erase references in its national databases which labelled Mandela as a "terrorist".

The African National Congress (ANC) was banned by South Africa's apartheid government in the 1960s; its leaders were jailed or forced into exile until the ban was lifted 30 years later.

As a result of the ban, Mandela and other ANC leaders were added to the US' terrorists watch list and had travel restrictions imposed on them.

"I am gratified that we were able to show our respect and high esteem for a man who is loved and admired around the world," said Donald Payne, chairman of the sub-committee on Africa in the House of Representatives.

Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State, had described the restrictions as "embarrassing" and urged their removal.

Congress approved the changes when Senators voted unanimously to support the legislations, after the House of Representatives approved it in May.

[chottala.com] Fw: Our 50-state campaign

The Democratic Party

Dear Sultan,

I have some news that I wanted you to hear.

People like you have been the heart of Chairman Howard Dean's 50-state strategy to rebuild our party and empower Democrats to compete everywhere. We've all seen the energy and enthusiasm at the grassroots level impact races up and down the ballot over the last three years.

I am proud to announce that our presidential campaign will be the first in a generation to deploy and maintain staff in every single state.
 
The network of volunteers and the infrastructure built up during the historic primary season -- on behalf of all the Democratic campaigns -- have given us an enormous and unprecedented opportunity in the general election.

Now it's time to expand our network and push our organizing resources even further. No matter where you live, our success this November will depend on your involvement. Sign up to join our campaign now, and we'll make sure you're aware of all the latest news and opportunities to make a difference:

http://my.barackobama.com/getinvolved

Of course, some states will be more competitive than others, and we will scale our resources accordingly.

But your work building our party means that the list of competitive states will be longer than ever before -- and it will include states like Virginia and Montana where your work has helped a Democratic resurgence at the state level.

And in every single state, no matter what the likelihood that we carry it in the fall, our staff will build volunteer capacity that will provide help where we need it and impact races up and down the ballot this November.

Every day counts -- voters head to the polls in less than five months.  This is your opportunity to shape this election and our unprecedented 50-state campaign now:

http://my.barackobama.com/getinvolved

Thanks to your support, we are on our way to building an unprecedented organization for the November elections.

As the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama will fight to unite our party and win contests up and down the ballot.

But he cannot determine the outcome of this election on his own.

It will all come down to what you are willing to do.

It's time to answer the call.

Thank you,
David

[chottala.com] Nigerian Internet Check Scam : Woman Gets Two Years for Aiding

Woman Gets Two Years for Aiding Nigerian Internet Check Scam (PC World)

  • Posted on Wed Jun 25, 2008 8:30PM EDT

 

 
- A Washington woman was sentenced on Wednesday to two years in prison and five years of supervised release for her role in an Internet counterfeit check scheme.

Edna Fiedler pleaded guilty in March to attempting to defraud U.S. citizens in a scheme known as a Nigerian check scam.

Fiedler helped her accomplices in Nigeria send fake checks to people who had agreed to cash the checks on behalf of the sender, keeping some of the proceeds and sending the rest back.

The Nigerians found people willing to cash the fake checks via e-mail. They would send their names as well as fake documents that looked like Wal-Mart money orders, Bank of America checks, U.S. Postal Service checks and American Express traveler's checks to Fiedler. They told her how to fill out the checks and where to send them.

The recipients most likely thought they were helping out someone who needed a person in the U.S. to cash a check for them, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. They were able to get the money by cashing the checks, and sent most of it to either Fiedler or her Nigerian accomplices. However, once the checks were discovered to be fake, the people who cashed them were responsible for the full amount.

All told, Fiedler sent out US$609,000 worth of phony checks and money orders. When U.S. Secret Service agents investigating the case searched Fiedler's house, they found additional fake checks worth more than $1.1 million that she was preparing to send out.

At a recent conference in Seattle, a representative from the U.S. Postal Service and Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna described ways they're working to shut down these kinds of scams, particularly because they often involve people who don't realize that they're taking part in illegal activities.

The U.S. Postal Service recently sent 15 postal investigators to Lagos, Nigeria, and during a three-month period there, they helped intercept counterfeit checks, lottery tickets and eBay overpayment schemes with a face value of $2.1 billion, Chris Siouris, a cyber investigator at the U.S. Postal Inspector, said at the recent conference. Siouris, McKenna and others are pushing for ways to better educate Internet users so that people don't unwittingly help out in these kinds of e-mail scams.
