Eid Moon in Bangladesh: Eid-ul-Fitr Moon Analysis & Goverment View

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:51:00 +0000

Eid Moon in Bangladesh: (Eid-ul-Fitr) Analysis & Goverment View

See Current Moon Status (Moon Phase)

Muslims should note that the start of Ramadan and observance of festivals such as Eid should be based on actual sighting of the first visible crescent of the new moon (see previous page). As a general guide this cannot be seen without optical aids when it is less than 12 hours old and it is usually visible to the naked eye when it is between 20-30 hours old.

It is a common practice within larger Muslim communities to appoint a Hilal (crescent) sighting committee for religious observations and fixing the calendar, however some communities also rely upon a single reputable sighting of the first crescent each month in their territory.

Information on the astronomical time for the beginning of each month can be found in a variety of places including the web sites of H.M. Nautical Almanac Office (HMNAO) and the US Naval Observatory. This is usually used for administrative purposes such as printing calendars

The HMNAO also produces a visibility code that gives information on the probability of moon sighting (i.e. varying from easily visible to not visible without a telescope).

There are a number of factors that affect visibility of the moon and hence it is recommended that a number of independent observers should be involved in sighting the moon, if using the naked eye, due to the risk of making an unintentional false sighting.

The factors that typically affect the sighting of the new moon include

the distance of the moon from the Earth

local conditions (especially the height of the observer above sea level)

the character of the surrounding surface and the height of the horizon relative to the observer

variations in the clarity of the atmosphere and wind direction.

the quality of eyesight of the observer

Professor Ilyas in Malaysia has developed the concept of the International Lunar Date Line (ILDL) which uses the moon�s altitude (in degrees) above the horizon at sunset and the moon�s angular distance from the sun at sunset. The ILDL forms a curved line on a world map which separates areas (west of the line) where there is a greater likelihood of sighting the moon at the beginning of the lunar month and areas where the crescent is less likely to be seen (east of the line). The position of the ILDL varies over a monthly period.

Dr Monzur Ahmed has developed a computer program, MoonCalc, which uses the ILDL and creates world maps to show where the crescent is likely to be seen first. MoonCalc can be used to find information relating to the position, age, phase, orientation, appearance and visibility of the moon for any given date, time and location on earth.

Dutch Doctors Uncover Medical Fraud in Bangladesh

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:10:00 +0000

Dutch Doctors Uncover Medical Fraud in Bangladesh

Doctors from an Amsterdam hospital have sounded the alarm about a possible fraud related to medication for the potentially fatal infectious disease of leishmaniasis, Dutch paper De Telegraaf reported Tuesday.

Two doctors from Amsterdam's Slotervaart Hospital said they had discovered the scam while working in Bangladesh. Hundreds of Bangladeshi patients suffering from leishmaniasis, or black fever, had supposedly been treated with miltefosine for months. But the doctors found out that the medication they were given contained no active ingredients.

The two doctors then warned the Bangladeshi government, which has since traced hundreds of people who received the inactive medicine and has given them proper medication.

J. Beijnen, one of the two doctors, said the fake medicine was probably provided by a local pharmaceutical company. He said the Bangladeshi government has launched an investigation.

Miltefosine, an oral medicine, is produced by German drugs firm Zentaris.

Now our questen is, what will be the penalty for this Fraud Pharmaceutical Company ?

Bangladeshi Private Firms (IGW) Start Handling International Phone Calls

Bangladeshi Private Firms (IGW) Start Handling International Phone Calls

Dhaka, Aug 21 (bdnews24.com) – Private firms on Thursday began handling international phone calls under international gateway (IGW).

MA Malek, special assistant to the chief adviser, inaugurated the IGW service of Mir Telecom at Eskaton in the city.

Earlier, state-owned Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board, now Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited, was the sole company in the field.

"We firmly believe that the government should not do business because the government hardly becomes successful in any business," Malek said.

He said the government wanted to spread technology to rural areas.

"We will soon launch WiMax in Bangladesh," he said.

He said the state-run Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited would not face any problem because of the growth of private sector.

Manzurul Alam, chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, said the government would earn Tk 1500 crore from six private operators on international calls.

He said the government opened voice-over internet protocol (VoIP) service in line with the international long-distance calls policy.

"BTRC has successfully implemented the policy. Illegal VoIP business will be wiped out with the launch of this service in private sector," the BTRC chief said.

Malek also inaugurated International Internet Gateway service of Mango Teleservice in Mohakhali.

DNS vulnerability Found on Current Version of Bind

DNS vulnerability Found on Current Version of Bind

By Joe Barr on July 08, 2008 (8:05:22 PM)

Whether you're running Linux, Windows, Cisco, Sun, or other DNS servers, you are at risk from a newly discovered vulnerability. So says Dan Kaminsky, head of penetration testing research at IO Active, who accidentally discovered the DNS "design flaw" earlier this year.

You can check whether the DNS servers you use are vulnerable by clicking the Check My DNS button in the upper right corner of Kaminsky's Web site.

Kaminsky says he made the discovery entirely by accident. When he realized the flaw was a fundamental design flaw that is universal in scope, he called for a summit of security researchers to decide on a course of action. That summit took place on the Microsoft campus on March 31, and out of it a multi-vendor patch solution was developed. Microsoft, Sun, Cisco, Bind, and other firms will be releasing patches for the flaw today. Linux distributions are expected to start providing patches today as well. Debian users already can find Bind patch instructions online.

The problem in general terms is described as insufficient randomness. Vendors have tried to deliver the fix in a way that can't be reverse-engineered to reveal the actual flaw. Full details on the flaw will not be revealed for 30 days, in order to allow system administrators time to evaluate and apply patches to their DNS servers. DNS clients are also at risk, but to a much smaller degree, and the focus at present continues to be on DNS servers.

According to Kaminsky, the rule for applying patches for this flaw should be, "If it recurses, patch it."

BdNews24: GrameenPhone Fined Tk 250 crore: BTRC: "GrameenPhone Fined Tk 250 crore: Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC)

Fri, Aug 15th, 2008 1:42 am BdST

Dhaka, Aug 14 (bdnews24.com) -- BTRC has fined Grameenphone Tk 250 crore for illegal VoIP business, the second time the country's largest mobile phone operator has been penalised for such rogue activities, the telecoms regulators announced Thursday.

GP's directer of information Syed Yamin Bakht told bdnews24.com that the company had received notice of the fine and had already made a payment.

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission said the Tk 250 crore financial penalty came as GP provided E1 connectivity to third parties enabling the use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

BTRC launched a full investigation and confirmed the company's illegal VoIP connectivities after suspicions arose in January this year, the statement said.

In 2007, GP paid a fine of Tk 168.40 crore for similar offences.

BTRC said it hoped telecommunication operators would refrain from facilitating illegal VoIP ventures, directly or indirectly.

'The operators are expected to cooperate with the government to prevent such activities in the future,' the statement quoted BTRC chief Manzurul Alam as saying.

It is your employer in Denmark who begins the application process by completing his/her part of the application form and attaching the required documents. He/she sends or gives the form and attached documents to you. You then complete your part of the form, attach the required documents, and submit the entire application.

There are different application forms for different types of applicants. Each application form contains a detailed description of how you and your employer in Denmark should complete the form, and which documents you must attach.

You and your employer in Denmark can chose one of the following application forms, depending on whether you are a(n):

Application form AR1 (Danish and English version)

Researcher
Application form ST2 (Danish and English version)

Religious worker
Application form RF1 (Danish and English version)

Applicant under the Corporate scheme
Application form AR4 for the company (Danish version)
Application form AR5 for the applicant (Danish and English version)

Furthermore, your employer in Denmark can obtain a printed version of the application form from the Service Centre of the Immigration Service, or from the local police.
If you are a self-employed person

If you are applying for a residence and work permit as a self-employed person, the application form is to be completed by you alone. The application form contains a detailed description of how you should complete the form, and which documents you must attach:

Self-employed person
> Application form AR2 (English version)
> Application form AR2 (Danish version)

Furthermore, you can obtain a printed version of the application form from the Danish diplomatic mission in your country of residence, from the Service Centre of the Immigration Service, or from the local police.
If you are a jobseeker

If your are applying for a residence and work permit under the Greencard scheme, the application form is to be completed by you alone. The application form contains a detailed description of how you should complete the form, and which documents you must attach.

Family members

If you wish to bring your spouse/registered partner/cohabiting partner with you to Denmark, then he/she must submit his/her own application. If you have children under the age of 18 who you also wish to bring to Denmark, information about the children can be included in your spouse's/partner's application.

The application form contains a detailed description of how your spouse/partner should complete the form, and which documents he/she must attach:

> Application form FA8 (Danish version)

Furthermore, your spouse/partner can obtain a printed version of the application form from the Danish diplomatic mission in his/her country of residence, from the Service Centre of the Immigration Service, or from the local police.
Submitting your application

You can submit an application for a residence and work permit in several ways. You can submit it at the Danish diplomatic mission in your country of origin (or the country where you have resided legally for the past three months). The mission will then forward your application to the Immigration Service in Denmark, where it will be processed.

If there is no Danish mission in your country of origin (or country of residence), it is often possible to submit your application at the mission of another Schengen country. See the Danish Foreign Ministry's list of countries where Denmark is represented by another Schengen country.

If you are residing legally in Denmark (e.g. based on another residence permit, procedural stay, visa, or visa-free stay), you can normally submit your application in Denmark.

You can submit your application at the Service Centre of the Immigration Service. If you live outside Greater Copenhagen, you can also submit your application at the local police who will then forward it to the Immigration Service. If the Immigration Service accepts your application for processing, you may stay in Denmark while your application is being processed.

As an alternative, you can book a meeting with the Immigration Service. This service is aimed at persons applying for a residence and work permit in order to work in Denmark. Read more about scheduling appointments for personal meetings regarding work permits.

If you have resided in Denmark on the grounds of another residence permit (e.g. family reunification or asylum), and this permit has been revoked or denied extension by the Immigration Service, you can submit your application in Denmark up to seven days after receiving the ruling. After this point, you must submit your application from your country of origin.

If you are residing illegally in Denmark, an application submitted in Denmark will normally be refused, and you will be asked to submit your application from your country of origin.
Processing your application

When the Immigration Service has received your application for a residence and work permit, it will process it along with the attached documentation and other information. In some cases, the Immigration Service will need to obtain additional information from branch organisations. In addition, the Immigration Service will check to see if you have been reported to the Schengen Information System (SIS).

If the Immigration Service receives information that does not correspond with the information you have provided, you will be asked to explain any discrepancies before the Immigration Service rules on the case.

Once the Immigration Service has received all necessary information and documentation relating to your application, it will make its ruling. The ruling will be either a residence and work permit, or a rejection of your application.
How do you receive the ruling?

If you submit your application from your country of origin (or other country of residence), the Immigration Service will send the ruling to the diplomatic mission where you submitted your application. The diplomatic mission will then forward it to your home address, or ask you to pick it up in person.

If you submit your application in Denmark, the Immigration Service will send the ruling to your address in Denmark, or to your attorney. The Immigration Service may also ask you to pick it up in person at the Service Centre, or it may send it to the police, who will then forward it to your home address. If the Immigration Service has decided to reject your application, it will ask you to leave Denmark before a specified date. In this case, you will be informed of your avenues to appeal the ruling.

Citizens of the new EU countries may submit their application in their country of origin, enter Denmark, and ask the Immigration Service to send the ruling to an address in Denmark, to the local police, or they may pick it up in person at the Service Centre.

Denmark’s Workpermit Greencard Emigration Information

Though I don't have a wish to leave my country to stay aboard here is some information might help someone to get a Work permit or Emigration information from bellow content. This email was posted on Yahoo 'AKTEL User Group'.

=======

Persons who have been offered a job in a profession currently experiencing a shortage of qualified professionals have particularly easy access to the Danish labour market. These professions and fields are listed on the Positive List. The scheme also applies to persons who have applied for asylum in Denmark.

If you are a Nordic citizen, you do not need a residence permit but are free to enter, live and work in Denmark. If you are an EU/EEA citizen or Swiss citizen, you must apply for a proof of registration at the Regional State Administration. In some cases, however, citizens of the new EU countries need to apply for a work permit at the Immigration Service in order to work in Denmark.

If you already hold a Danish residence permit based on family reunification or asylum, or hold a residence permit on humanitarian grounds, you do not need a work permit in order to work in Denmark.

It is your own responsibility to obtain a work permit if you are required to. If you work illegally in Denmark, you risk deportation, and you and your employer risk fine or imprisonment.
Conditions

Your job must be listed on the Positive List. Furthermore, you must have a written job contract or job offer which specifies salary and employment conditions. Salary and employment conditions must correspond to Danish standards.

In some cases, you must obtain a Danish authorisation or the like. This is explicitly stated on the Positive List. For example, foreign-trained doctors must be authorised by the Danish National Board of Health.

Read more about authorisation for foreign-trained doctors on the website of the National Board of Health.

Read more about access to regulated professions on the website of CIRIUS.
Duration

If your job is listed on the Positive List, you can be granted a residence and work permit for up to three years with a possibility for extension of up to four years.

Your residence permit can only be granted or extended up to three months before your passport expires. This means that if your passport expires in 12 months, you can only be granted a permit for nine months, or your permit can only be extended by nine months.
Residence permit for jobseeking

If you hold a residence and work permit under the Positive List, you can be granted a special residence permit for jobseeking: If you lose your job through no fault of your own, e.g. due to cutbacks, or if your job contract expires, you can stay in Denmark for an additional six months for jobseeking purposes. It is a condition that you are not receiving public assistance under the active social policy act.

You must apply for a residence permit for jobseeking no later than two days after the termination of your job contract. You can apply by sending a letter to the Immigration Service containing your full name, address, CPR number, Alien Identification number (Udl.nr.) and a copy of your valid passport, along with information about why you lost your job.
If you find a new job

If you find a new job while you are working, or while you hold a residence permit for jobseeking, you must apply for a new residence and work permit. However, you may begin your new job before you have received your new permit, provided that you submit your application no later than the day you start your new job.
Extension

If your residence and work permit expires, and you have applied for an extension, and if you are still in the same job, under the same employment conditions, as when you were granted your original permit, you may stay in Denmark and continue working while the Immigration Service processes your application.

Your permit can be extended even if your job is no longer on the Positive List, provided that you are still in the same job, on the same terms and conditions.
Family members

If you hold a residence and work permit under the Positive List, your spouse, registered partner or cohabiting partner, as well as any children under the age of 18 who are living at home with you, are also eligible for residence permits. Your family members must be able to support themselves and you must live together in Denmark at the same address. Your spouse, registered partner or cohabiting partner is allowed to work full-time for the entire period his or her permit is valid.
The Positive List

The Positive List consists of a number of professional fields currently experiencing a shortage of qualified professionals.

* Academic work
* Construction
* Hotel, restaurant, kitchen, canteen
* IT and telecommunication
* Management
* Educational, social and religious work
* Sales, purchases and marketing
* Health, healthcare and personal care
* Freight forwarding, postal services, storage and engine operation

Google Apps Hit by Prolonged Gmail Access Problem

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 04:32:00 +0000

Google Apps Hit by Prolonged Gmail Access Problem

A technical problem hit an undetermined number of Gmail users,
including paying subscribers to the Google Apps hosted software
suite, locking them out of their accounts for about 15 hours on
Wednesday and early Thursday.

Google first acknowledged the problem in the official discussion
forums for Gmail and Google Apps shortly after 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern
Time on Wednesday and declared the problem solved at almost 5 a.m. on
Thursday.

A Google official posting status updates on the Apps forum wrote that
the problem affected "a small subset" of Apps users, without being
more specific.

More than 500,000 businesses and universities with about 10 million
active users have signed up for the free and fee-based versions of
Google Apps.

The problem, which also affected stand-alone users of Gmail, made it
impossible for users to log in to their accounts. They got a "502
Server Error" message when they tried to log in.

In the main Google Apps Discussion Group thread devoted to this
incident, administrators complained loudly about the length of the
outage and the lack of status update details offered by Google
officials.

A "502" error hit Gmail on July 16 as well, and also led to a long
outage for affected users, according to postings in the discussion
forums.

A day before this week's problem struck, Dave Girouard, president of
Google's Enterprise unit, talked up Google Apps at the Pacific Crest
Technology Leadership Forum.

Girouard said Google has big plans to aggressively expand the
features and capabilities of the suite, while keeping the price of
the Premier fee-based version at US$50 per-user annually.

Google, Salesforce.com, IBM, Amazon, Hewlett-Packard and other major
vendors are big backers of cloud computing and the software-as-a-
service (SaaS) model for delivering applications and computing
resources via the Internet.

However, outages that leave users without access to such a basic
business tool as e-mail for extended periods of time spook business
and IT managers considering Web hosted software like Google Apps and
cloud computing offers like Amazon Web Services.

When something goes wrong with the hardware or software in the
vendors' data centers and the performance and availability of the
software or computing services are affected, there is little that IT
and business managers can do but wait for the problem to be solved,
while their end users complain and demand information and solutions
that are out of the IT department's reach.

"Seriously...It has been two hours. Can you provide us with another
update? For a company with your reputation, I'm absolutely shocked at
the apparent absence of customer service," wrote a Google Apps
administrator on the discussion forum on Wednesday. "This amount of
down time is unacceptable."

Bangladesh ICT: [BANGLA-IT] When the media turns into evil

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:50:00 +0000

Nagative Blog Post About Transcom Media - Prothom Alo, The Daily Star, Shaptahik 2000, Anandadhara and an upcoming FM Radio Station: [BANGLA-IT] When the media turns into evil

By Sunita Paul

Media can play important role in up building a nation, while the same media, being influenced by evil forces or vested interest, could turn into devastating element for any nation. Take the example of Bangladesh's leading media group named Transcom Media, which owns a vernacular daily newspaper named Prothom Alo, an English language daily named The Daily Star, two periodicals named Shaptahik 2000 and Anandadhara. Recently the group has acquired ownership of an FM radio station named 'Aina Broadcasting Corporation' (ABC). The group is rather known as 'Daily Star Group' in Bangladesh, because of tremendous influence of its English language daily as well as its top most position amongst all competitor dailies.

Before going into notoriety of Daily Star group, let me first put focus at the back ground of the emergence of this business-media group. During early nineties, present owners of 'Star Group' turned financially bankrupt when its main figure Latifur Rahman's paternal property W Rahman Jute Mills at country's Chandpur district had to declare lay-off thus leaving thousands of workers and labors unemployed. Numerous cases were filed with the Chandpur district labor and criminal courts against Latifur Rahman and other members of the factory, as they defaulted payment of worker's wages. On the other hand, W Rahman Jute Mills was listed as one of the top defaulting enterprises with Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank) for long standing loans.

But, luck started moving in positive direction, when Latifur Rahman's wife's cousin Anup Chetia (leader of ULFA separatist group) came forward with hidden help of finance in businesses in Bangladesh through Rahman. It is learnt that a few million dollars were placed with Latifur Rahman in re-organizing his collapsed business and ULFA kept a secret stake of shares in all businesses initiated by Latifur Rahman after receipt of this secret fund.

Latifur Rahman understanding his failure in running industrial enterprise profitably launched a company named Transcom, which began businesses as the sole distributor of Nestle brand milk products in Bangladesh. Initial response although was very poor from the local market, due to solid financial back up from ULFA, Latifur Rahman managed to ultimately penetrate in the business and in few years, Transcom emerged as one of the mightiest enterprises in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, when Dhaka's well respected journalist S M Ali took the initiative of launching an English language newspaper, Latifur was suggested by ULFA to buy shares, as such investment would buy media influence for the separatist group, which fights against Indian government in separating seven North-Eastern states within India.

S M Ali was successful in placing Daily Star at the forefront of Dhaka's English press, because of his extra-ordinary qualities and courage. Just in few years, this newly launched newspaper sub sided most of the competitor dailies such as Bangladesh Observer, Bangladesh Times (now defunct), New Nation, Morning Sun (now defunct) and Financial Express. But sudden demise of S M Ali opened the opportunity for Latifur Rahman to swallow the newspaper. He brought Mahfuz Anam as the editor of the newspaper, who subsequently ousted ancestors of S M Ali and grabbed his shares. This was the beginning of notorious journey of Daily Star group.

Later, when Anup Chetia was arrested by Bangladeshi law enforcing agencies, Latifur Rahman stopped paying any share to ULFA. This was the first beginning of feud between notorious ULFA separatists and Latifur Rahman. It is widely rumored in Dhaka that, ULFA had hidden hands behind murder of Latifur's daughter Shazneed Rahman, who was brutally raped and murdered right inside her residence at Dhaka's posh Gulshan area.

But, the handsome investment from ULFA, gave Transcom an excellent opportunity to grow. Latifur decided to launch a vernacular daily newspaper with the initial capital of 10 million Taka in 1997. Prothom Alo recruited large number of top newsmen from Dhaka's press community. It also had dynamic Matiur Rahman as its editor, which helped the newspaper to rapidly turn into one of the leading dailies in the country. Later two vernacular periodicals were also launched by this group, one with celebrated journalist Shahadat Chowdhury as its editor.

In some years, Transcom group acquired ownership of Pepsi, Phillips and several large industrial enterprises. Luck always clicked in favor of this business group, as far as its investments in media was concerned. None of the newspapers, belonging to Transcom group had ever faced any financial adversity.

Due to such influential ownership of media projects, Latifur Rahman got the excellent opportunity of continuing various illegal businesses including import of goods from abroad under false declaration. Several consignments imported by Transcom were stopped by customs officials in Bangladesh and evidence of revenue evasion of millions of Taka was unearthed. But, everything was managed, by using the influence of Prothom Alo and Daily Star. Even after the political changes in Bangladesh on January 11, 2007, Daily Star group managed to send its Executive Editor Syed Fahim Munayem as the Press Secretary to the Chief Executive of the interim government. Even at later stage, when Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) issued notice on Latifur Rahman asking declaration of his wealth and assets, the entire issue was some how put into suppression with the help of Daily Star-Prothom Alo group.

Everyone knows the news about cracks in Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge in Bangladesh. But, possibly no one knows the fact that the main reason behind such cracks was due to use of a particular brand of cement, which in the name of Portland Grey Cement is in fact fly ash mixed lowest grade cement. And, this inferior quality of cement went into various high cost projects in Bangladesh just because; chairman of the company producing and marketing this brand is none but Transcom's Latifur Rahman. No one in the government dares to utter even a single word about Holcim, which supplied such cement to various projects, as they are afraid of wrath of Daily Star and Prothom Alo. Despite the fact that, both the newspapers are largest in circulation in Bangladesh, main purpose of these publications is serving the interests of Corporate Crime.

Prime intention of Daily Star group is to stand against various business groups, whenever there is any business rivalry with that specific company or individual. This group went into heinous propaganda against Beximco Group, Bashundhara Group and many others in past. There is even clean track record of dubious behavior of this group is sabotaging various projects in Bangladesh, with the ulterior motive of either supporting businesses of Latifur Rahman, Transcom or members of this syndicate.

Many projects were already sabotaged by this group, thus causing tremendous loss to Bangladesh's economy. The latest episode of such rivalry of Daily Star group was with Bangladesh's lone hard rock mining project at country's Dinazpur district. Maddhyapara Hard Rock Mining Project (MHMP) became a pray of Daily Star for past several years. It is learnt that, some vested interest groups, including importers of stones and stone-chips from India, Myanmar and Malaysia are patronizing such media terror by Star, thus attempting to sabotage country's most prospective project, which not only is already saving millions of dollars, but, also is set to turn into a huge prospect of earning millions of dollars from export of world-class Granite Tiles.

First rivalry with the MHMP began when Bangladesh government appointed Polish consulting firm Kopex SA, defying the fact that this firm had no experience of hard rock mining. It is learnt that, appointment of this Polish firm was a result of heavy persuasion from some high level corrupt bureaucrats in the Energy Ministry and Petrobangla. From the very appointment, the Polish consultant had been frantically trying to sabotage the project for reason unknown.

In June 2006, Kopex SA submitted a paper with the Energy and Mineral Resources Division saying, "Maddhyapara Hard Rock Mining project has become 'virtually sick' and the employer (the government) has suffered huge financial loss."

It said Petrobangla and the project authorities, Madhyapara Granite Mining Company Limited, should ask Nam-Nam for final commissioning and test production immediately to ascertain the actual status of mine development.

"The Petrobangla and MGMCL should take over the mine after ascertaining its actual state and on documentation to establish the legal ownership of the mine," it said.

Kopex said, "The Nam-Nam has complemented major installation of the mine in over 12 years but they have not yet done the final commissioning and test run although the original development period of the mine was 6.5 years since the signing of the agreement between Petrobangla and the company in 1994."

Sources in Petrobangla, however, ditched the Kopex report, saying that the consultant should also be held responsible for the delay as it failed to come up with proper plan.

"Kopex also wants to be involved more with the mine for which it came up with such a report," Petrobangla source added.

Meanwhile, on October 15, 2005, The Daily Star published a front page news item titled 'North Korean company looks for legal coverage to finish task'. In this report, Daily Star said, "When completed, the Maddyapara hard rock mine will commercially sell 1.65 million tonnes of granite a year. The country annually imports 3.4 million tonnes of granite. Local production will save between $38 million to $58 million US dollars. The project has a life span of 45 years. However, the price of Maddhyapara granite will not be cheaper than the rocks that are commonly imported from India because of the increased project cost"

It was clearly understood that the report was published with the very intention of killing the project to protect the interest of importers-exporters syndicate, which enjoys business of millions of dollars every year by continuing to import stone from India and other countries. In this report, Daily Star claimed that the cost of production of MHMP hark rock was higher than imported one, which is nothing but a clean deviation from truth. It is learnt from dependable sources that, production cost for each tons of hard rock from Maddhyapara project stands at US$ 10 while the minimum import cost is US$ 22.

On May 18, 2006, Daily Star once again published a front page report titled "Petrobangla to take it over from DPRK firm", where it repeated the same lie on the price of the locally extorted hard rock. It said, "Maddhyapara granite will however not be cheaper than the rocks that are commonly imported from India because of the increased project cost."

Nam-Nam Corporation successfully completed and handed over the project in May last year and meanwhile; commercial production in the project is already going on. Due to timely steps taken by the present government in Dhaka, locally produced stones are purchased and used in various domestic projects on priority basis, while the cost of local stones are more than half the cost of imported ones. Being totally frustrated at the completion of the project, vested interest groups once again managed to published another front page report in The daily Star on May 16, 2008 titled "Miner now wants return of non-existent loans".

In this report, Daily Star wrote, "Nam-nam is now operating the mine with 65 South Koreans under a one-year service contract due to expire on May 27. As it did not fully transfer the South Korean technology to the MGMCL, it will get yet another year's service contract, the sources said."

This part of the news shows two things. One, the reporter knows nothing of the project but was writing thing being dictated by vested interest groups. In the same news, while the reporter said Nam-Nam is a North Korean company, how he could discover 65 South Koreans in the project (does he lack the minimum knowledge that North and South Korea do not have any diplomatic relations as yet?). The reporter also said that, Nam-Nam is not fully transferring South Korean technology to MGMCL. Ridiculous, who edits and passes such rubbish news in Daily Star? Being Dhaka's leading dailies, it should be ashamed of such poor journalistic quality. The entire report as well as all previous reports is part of propaganda and conspiracy to kill the entire project, which stands as the most prospective one for Bangladesh. Anyone can easily understand that, vested interest groups, including enemies of North Korea are patronizing such dangerous campaign not only to sabotage the project, but, also to give a good lesson to the North Korean company for being dedicated and helpful to Bangladesh is saving millions of dollars from import of hard rock.

Bangladesh government not only needs to patronize this extremely profitable and viable project, but even needs to go into fresh negotiations with Nam-Nam or the North Korean government in signing fresh agreements for exploration of more mining projects in the country. According to mining experts several more hard rock mines are already existing in the Northern region of Bangladesh, which will be able to help the country in stopping import of stones from abroad, thus saving billions of dollars each year. At the same time, government needs to identify vested interest groups within Energy Ministry and Petrobangla in order to not only protect the national interest but also to punish the culprits for their notorious roles.

Further harassment of the North Korean company will earn bad reputation for Bangladesh from the potential foreign investors. Nam-Nam deserves to be appreciated for completion of the MHMP despite series of harassments and non-cooperation from the Energy Ministry and Petrobangla.

BGMEA And RANGS Building Showing Disrespect To Law And Order of Bangladesh

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:41:00 +0000

BGMEA And RANGS, Two Building Structures In The Horizon Of Dhaka That Still Stand As A Sign Of Disrespect To Rule Of Law Of Bangladesh

BGMEA building and Rangs building - both should make their way to the public interest. If you left out these important signs of corruption and at the same time go out of your way to setup TAC, people will start questioning your motive. By this time, government should have learned that managing the public perception is very important.

Its appalling to see that both of these above mentioned structures still stands defying public interest.

Both should go down or make their way for the greater good of the public.

The first one, the BGMEA building seems like survived the Hatirjheel-Begunbari project, even though it has been reported how BGMEA people has shown disrespect to the law of the country with corrupt practices of the RAJUK people. Even though the alleged malpractice was done by one of the main business association of the country, they should not be given a free pass. This highly publicized corruption should give its way to the greater public interest. Government may give them some other land to build a new BGMEA building.

What do we want to do with this building? Tear down this one?

If that is creating major problem with the road construction, then yes, tear it down.

If road construction is not hampered by the presence of this building, then we have a better idea for this one.

Let us take this building and create a high-rise public place out of this building. It can be turned into a mix of different things to create an urban getaway for the citizens - a food court, an indoor sports zone for kids, a video games corner, a public parking, a spot for Dhaka city viewing through installed binoculars. Turn this into a tourist cum civic spot. Several of the floor can also be turned into the first Industrial Museum of Bangladesh. All these facilities, among others, will be run for-profit basis, or may be the space can be leased out to private entrepreneurs for doing the above-mentioned things in return of a yearly rent. The income can be given to the association of garment workers welfare fund or can be used to run a chain of low cost schools for the children of garment workers. That would be a much better way to handle the public interest. We hope that BGMEA leadership will heed to this.

For the second one, the Rangs building - the fate is already decided. It is in the process of going down, to make way to create an important intersection that is expected to help reduce the problem of traffic jam. However, the speed at which the work is progressing does not look good. RAJUK's highup people should have been held responsible for this mess at the very beginning. But the government hasn't touched those culprits yet. And it seems that something is cooking with the building, again. They are using a time-pass strategy hoping to find a favorable wind again - it seems.

If the government doesn't know how to handle the job, here is some tip. All the RAJUK highups (chairman /engineer / management) should be brought out of their office and tied in poles in front of Bijoy Shoroni island until they complete the taking down of the building. Once that is done, you will see how they find a quicker way to dismantle this sign of tyrranny which started with Ershad and grew up and/or lived throughout the period of Khaleda and Hasina. This one should go down now without any further delay.

If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columnists in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

Thanks for your time,

What is 100% or More then 100%~!!

What is 100% or More then 100%~!!

From: R@kiB rakib.exe@
To: aktel_bangladesh.yahoogroups.com

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Have a nice day & God bless !!

Cyber Crime on Rise Financial Institutions at Risk

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:40:00 +0000

Financial institutions at risk due to rise of Cyber Crime

By: Mamunur Rashid, The Daily New Nation

Information Technology (IT) experts said each and every computer in the world is at the risk of being attacked by viruses, which is nothing but small programs written or used by the Cyber criminals and threatens the entire IT world.

Tanvir Ahmed Gaus, the Project Manager of US based Bangladesh IT Company the Jaxara IT Ltd, told the New Nation that 'Cyber Crime' is a name that turned into a "Big Deal" in many western countries in recent years. Cyber crime not only means credit card fraud, but also includes child pornography, mobile phone theft, network intrusion, spamming and all kinds of abuse of Internet.

Credit card fraud, hacking, child pornography are the most popular Cyber crimes, which has become a headache to the world community. Bangladesh is also in a vulnerable position and some of the crimes are gradually being introduced in our community. People have started abusing Internet, specially the young and teenagers are getting initiation into cyber crime slowly. A number of community website have been introduced, which the young girls and boys are using to exchange phone numbers, posting hidden videos or even pictures with nudity etc.

Apart from that Bangladesh's financial institutions are at risk from hackers. In the country financial institutions have introduced various online features like online banking, stock exchange transactions but are not able to provide the highest security. Source said the Cyber criminal networks through Internet have attacked our country's technology infrastructure. Recently, hackers interrupted the DSE transaction, which cost the small Entrepreneurs dearly.

It was a chance to get a glimpse at what the future holds for Internet security. The cell phones may contain information essential to solving a crime in the country.

To many young people, it may be at a stage of experimenting with the cyber space but the danger will be then when this small interest on hacking will become an organised crime.

Though the cyber crime hasn't become a headache for Bangladesh yet, but we should start preparing from now to prevent this. Be sure-it is coming; and coming with a great pace in the very near future.

"Most of the western countries and communities have cells to investigate and prevent cyber crimes for that cyber laws are being introduced," Gaus said.

Police sources said recently Dhaka Metropolitan Police formed a cyber crime unit to detect cyber criminals and to arrest them. However, this unit was not strong enough to protect society from the threat of cyber criminals.

Police source added that not a single case has been filled in this connection officially but unofficially many cyber crime cases have been lodged countrywide.

The Additional Deputy Commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) Md Masudur Rahman told the New Nation that the cyber crime unit was assisting law enforcement agencies in processing computer evidence that may hold rich clues to crimes.

"This work requires specialised investigators to uncover the information. The technology changes quickly and police staff have to be skilled continuously to be effective. Police here needed to build up relationships with the various law enforcement agencies overseas to stop the cyber crime," he added.

To prevent the cyber crime globally, representatives from over 68 government and corporate organisations like Sun Microsystems Inc, Dell Computers Inc and the US Department of Defence Cyber Crimes Unit came and showcased what they had to offer each other in the convention. The Cyber Panel was one of many sessions, but it covered a broad range of topics aimed at informing the civilian sector which way to prevent threats of the cyber crime.
