46 illegal Afghan immigrants suffocate in truck in Pakistan

Posted on by

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

 Correction — Nov 1, 2013 The article below claims each passenger paid 4000 to 8000 USD. Each paid 30,000 Rupees, equivilent at the time to about US$375. 

The bodies of 46 Afghan illegal immigrants who suffocated to death in a container truck Saturday near Quetta, Pakistan, returned home Tuesday.

The Edhi Foundation placed the victim’s bodies into coffins to transport them back to Chaman. Funeral prayers were said before victims left Quetta hospital. “We are taking these dead bodies to Spin Boldak and later these will be flown to Kabul by helicopter. We are thankful to Pakistan government for every help,” said Afghan consul general Daud Mohsini.

Afghan officials received the bodies from The Edhi ambulances and Pakistan police escorts at the Pak-Afghan border Bab-e-Dosti (Friendship Gate). Security was high and traffic was backed up at the border crossing. The bodies were taken to Kandahar then to Kabul before they were laid to rest in their home towns.

Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan dispatched aircraft to Pakistan to bring home the 46 victims. Poor weather grounded the planes, and the bodies were driven back across the border.

Pakistan police found a locked truck packed with approximately 111 Afghan illegal immigrants around 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of Quetta on Saturday. The driver had fled the scene where 62 people were initially pronounced dead. Police said that from the strong smell emanating from the truck, the victims may have died days before they were discovered.

45 other people were found unconscious and taken directly to the hospital. At hospital two more migrants died. “The death toll is 46,” said Ghulam Dastagir, a police official.

Wazir Khan Nasir, a senior police official said, “We have been able to talk to some of the people, who were trapped in the container. They were all Afghans in the container and the container was going to Iran, When the condition of people inside the container deteriorated, the driver fled, leaving the container.”

Survivors have reported that a human smuggling racket locked 64 Kabul residents and 37 Spin Boldak residents in the truck container Friday afternoon. The truck’s air conditioning unit stopped working causing the locked passengers to cry out for help which was unheeded by the truck’s driver, and they fell unconscious. However, the loud ruckus caused by the trapped people inside did alert police and local residents to their plight.

The trip had cost each illegal immigrant US$4,000 to 8,000 for the trip. Gul Zameen, a survivor said, “We are all poor and wanted to find jobs in Quetta and Iran.”

The survivors have been charged under the Foreigners Act and some have been detained. Karzai has ordered an investigation and “demanded people avoid dangerous illegal migration and not be deceived by smugglers.” “We’ll go to Pakistan and talk to the survivors to find out what had exactly happened. The culprits will be brought to justice,” said Moheeddin Baluch head of the investigating delegation.

Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is also investigating. Five suspects believed to be involved in running the human smuggling racket have been arrested.

Gunmen enter Palestine TV station in hail of bullets

Posted on by

Monday, June 5, 2006

Gunmen forced their way into a building used by Palestinian Television in Khan Younis today. Approximately 15 gunmen fired toward the sky as they stormed the building shouting, “You are collaborators. You are biased. You are dirty people” the staff reported.

The armed men then discharged their weapons wildly into cameras, computers and other equipment leaving one employee of the transmission centre to say, “The whole place is ruined.” After wreaking havoc for several minutes and beating up a cameraman, the vandals left.

Palestine TV stopped broadcasting for 30 minutes in protest at the attack.

According to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the opposition Fatah party, the Hamas government has until midday (0900 GMT) on Tuesday to agree with a manifesto that touches on an issue at the heart of Palestinian politics. The script indirectly recognises Israel as it calls for a Palestinian state to exist beside Israel.

Hamas came to power in the January 2006 elections, overcoming the incumbent Fatah parliament. The party denied being involved in the attack on the television station.

Abbas has threatened a July referendum on the manifesto if parliament does not accept the treatise by the specified time.

A Way To Create Email Column In Share Point}

A Way To Create Email Column In Share Point}

Posted on by

Submitted by: Ray Li

For now, there is no such a built-in column in SharePoint can let administrator to create a column for email addresses. To do that, you have to create a Text column and put the restrictions on this column for a certain format inputs.

And another issue about typing a email address is we have to type the @ symbol with two keys( shift + @), and for the most of cases we are using certain kinds of the email host.

All of these will be gone with our Email Column plugin for SharePoint.

The SharePoint Email Field Auto Completion is a handy plugin to save your time from filling the @domain information, for instance, when enter support@hotmail.com, you only need to enter support@, and the SharePoint Email Field Auto Completion dropdown feature will show a list of domain choices for you to choose from.

Column Creation

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28zFcwIXWYM[/youtube]

Without SharePoint Email Filed Auto Completion, administrators have to create a Single line of text field for the email information; however, using this plugin, they can easily create an email column by selecting the Email field in the menu of Create Column page.

Comparing to the Single line of text field, Email field provides users the features of Domain Information Auto-completion and Email Address Validation.

Settings

SharePoint Email Field Auto Completion provides administrators an option to set a default email domains list. They can easily set a list of domain choices for their users to choose from and thus save the users time.

The plugin also allows administrators to restrict the users from entering other domain information that is not included in the list they created to ensure they only get the exact email information that is really needed.

Domain Information Auto-completion

The SharePoint Email Field Auto Completion dropdown feature will show a list of domain choices for the end users to choose from. They no longer need to enter the @domain information. So by default, we already have some options for users, such as gmail.com, yahho.com, hotmail.com. And the administrators of Sharepoint can set the what domains can be used for this email column as options besides those default options.

Email Address Validation

This plugin supports the feature of Email Address Validation which guarantees only the email address in the right format and with certains domains can be saved. We are saving administrators from setting Regular Expression for validation. And there is an option in setting page of Email column to limit the candidate domains for the email address that user could have.

License

This product is delivered with Farm License, which means you can use you copy with one farm whithout any limitations. After you pay for our product, we are going to ask the ID of your SharePoint Farm to generate a license for you.

Iran’s morality police crack down on un-Islamic dress

Posted on by

Wednesday, April 25, 2007

The Iranian police forces have faced criticism from Ayatollah Hashemi Shahrudi, the head of the judiciary who was appointed by Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, for their re-invigorated campaign to do away with un-Islamic dress.

Ayatollah Shahroudi proclaimed, “Tough measures on social problems will backfire and have counter-productive effects.” Others have, of course, made it clear that un-Islamic dress can lead to moral corruption, engender innumerable vices, and hurt the Islamic character of the nation.

Some believe that no one had any issue with the creation of an Islamic atmosphere. The core of the matter revolves around the implementation of the Islamic dress code; additionally, heavy-handed measures should be shunned. For instance, Mehdi Ahmadi, information head of Tehran’s police, told Al Jazeera: “Some citizens may complain about the way the law is being enforced but they all agree with the plan itself.”

According to one student, “You simply can’t tell people what to wear. They don’t understand that use of force only brings hatred towards them, not love.” Nevertheless, Hojatoll-Islam Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, Iran’s interior minister who is in charge of policing, prognosticated positive feedback from the populace when he said, “People are unhappy with the social and moral status of the society. They expect that the fight against social insecurity be properly implemented.” Thus, Hujjat al-Islam Pour-Mohammadi re-iterated the necessity of proper implementation and methodology towards the restoration of morality in the Islamic Republic. Islamic officials and religious people affirm that this is indispensable to promote righteousness, curb sin, and bring open sinners to justice.

Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, hijab became mandatory in Iran for every woman including foreigners after over 98% of citizens voted for an Islamic government. Women may face caning up to 74 strokes for failing to observe hijab. In this recent crackdown, the authorities have arrested many citizens throughout the country. Not only have women been taken into custody for their hair being uncovered on their foreheads and tight clothes that show body shapes, For men they need to cover from knee to their waist as according to Sharia. Even a foreign journalist was detained because the photograph on her press card was indecent.

It has not been clear whence the directive for the re-newed clampdown emanated. Some have blamed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad while Gholam Hossein Elham, the government spokesman, stated to reporters, “The police work as agents of the judiciary to confront crimes. The government as an executive body does not interfere in the affairs of the judiciary.” The following pre-election speech seems to corroborate this latter statement:

“ In reality, is the problem of our people the shape of the hair of our children? Let our children arrange their hair any way they wish. It doesn’t concern me and you. Let you and me overhaul the basic problems of the nation. The government should fix the economy of the nation and improve its atmosphere…[It should] better psychological security and support the people. People have variegated tastes. As if now the arch obstacle of our nation is the arrangement of our kids’ hair and the government disallowing them <He chuckles>. Is this the government’s responsibility? Is this the people’s merit? In actuality, this is the denigration of our people. Why do you underestimate and belittle the people? It is the real issue of our nation that one of our daughters donned a certain dress? Is this the issue of our nation and the problem of our nation? ”

Nigeria allies join fight against Boko Haram

Posted on by

Monday, March 9, 2015

Military forces from Chad and Niger yesterday engaged Boko Haram militants within the borders of Nigeria. This follows African Union endorsement on Friday of the creation of an 8,000-plus strong regional force to combat the threat posed by the militant group.

Along with Cameroon, both Chad and Niger have previously engaged Boko Haram forces who have crossed their borders from the territory they hold in northern Nigeria. While all three countries have previously aided Nigeria against Boko Haram, the new attacks are Niger’s first push into foreign territory.

The new attacks against Boko Haram follow its leader pledging allegiance on Saturday to Islamic State, as other groups have done. A Nigerian military spokesman, speaking to the BBC, dismissed this as a “plea for help”; Nigerian spokesmen cited recent military defeats inflicted upon Boko Haram as the reason for the militants’ announcement.

The Roles of a Certified Instructor

by

Madhur RajpalIf you are looking for an opportunity to manage your stress you can consider hatha yoga. However, many of the people benefit a great deal from other styles of yoga- it is all about their personal preferences. The main components of most yoga classes are the poses and breathing.

The yoga poses, also called postures offer a series of movements that are designed to increase flexibility and strength. Controlled breathing is also an important aspect of yoga. Breath in yoga signifies an individual’s vital energy. If you are looking for the best result consider enrolling with a certified yoga teacher training. The roles of a certified instructor include:

Work the room

Great instructors have the ability of working the room. Furthermore, they possess the necessary skills required to feel the room and thus making every individual they come into contact with to feel special. They effortlessly feel the environment around them.

Whether it is a subtle touch or calling out a name, they have the ability to connect with their student, creating a personal touch. As they work the room, they have the ability to make anyone to feel better. They have a sixth-sense while communicating with other people, including strangers to achieve desirable results.

Personalize the training

A certified yogi instructor has a trademark- a signature closing, a signature sequence or a signature use of phrases. Whatever it is, it should be authentic and unique; the instructor needs to own it.

The instructor should have more than a posture and idea. It is pretty amazing when the trainer takes a posture or idea that seems complex and breaks it down to make it accessible. They do this in a way that is unique and authentic to the learners.

Generating a warm atmosphere

It can prove challenging training in a new class, even for a seasoned yogi. However, a great instructor will be able to spot first-timers and go out of their way to make the learners feel comfortable. Learners are assured of receiving smiles regularly to urge them to keep persisting. Therefore, at the yoga retreat you are assured of receiving the right attitude that is critical in achieving the right postures and breathing.

Offer a detailed approach to training

Regular practice of yoga have the capacity of getting you to greater heights. A great instructor will play an important role in getting the learners to heights they had not imagined they would get to.

You will learn to perform most of the postures while embracing the worldviews of the power that derived from breathing. They transform you into an efficient practitioner and enabling you to get to another level of practice.

Several studies have revealed practicing yoga helps to cut anxiety and stress. Furthermore, it has the ability of enhancing the practitioner’s mood and sense of well-being. The breathing techniques help to calm the mind.

Yoga is recommended because it brings awareness as well as the ability to stay calm. Stress in an individual’s life can be reduced significantly. Through meditation, the practitioner develops an inner peace. It can be relied upon as a self- healing tool that helps to get the practitioner into perfect shape. Therefore, anyone regardless of their age, religion and health circumstances can practice yoga.

2008 Taste of Taiwan Cuisine: A complex to redefine Taiwan’s MICE industry

Posted on by

Saturday, July 5, 2008

Ever since the Taste of Taiwan Cuisine, a complex to promote the MICE (meeting, incentive travel, conference, and exhibition) and cultural industries in Taiwan exclusively in June, made its initiation at 2006, the tourism ratio from foreigners were progressively increased in this complex event.

To bring up the MICE industry, Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the event organizer, arranged several key events including Taipei Trade Shows, travel packages, views, and conferences for international businesspeople. This effectively redefined the MICE industry in Taiwan during the event.

As the 2008 WiMAX Expo Taipei and COMPUTEX Taipei jointly showcased in the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 – 3, Taipei International Convention Center, and TWTC Nangang, the potential of ICT industry in Taiwan were demonstrated to drive more discussions between international businesspeople during the show hours and conferences.

Products related to current incidents including energy-efficiency, environmental-friendly, and low-prices were highly respected from industrial businesspeople. In addition to several forums and seminars, topical issues including environment and energy-saving were also mentioned during the shows.

Apart from seminars and trade shows, since the TWTC Nangang was launched on March 13, the venue brought opportunities for several industries. As the government claimed to promote the MICE industry positively, Taiwan will keep its stable position on international sourcing center in Asia with more trade shows expanded to TWTC Nangang.

Culinary, historical ancestry, natural views, and country images, are key factors to demonstrate the culture of a nation. Different from them, the creativity and innovations showcased another style in its [cultural] industry.

A good example was the organization of three theme shows for food and packaging industries – “Food Taipei”, “Foodtech Taipei”, and “Taipei Pack”, a collective with different cultures from twenty-seven countries including United States, South Korea, Canada, Japan, Sri Lanka, Austria, Philippines, Chile, Malaysia, Spain, Fiji, Poland, and six nations from Africa.

Not only the shows, the TAITRA also provided several special coupon cards for international businesspeople to discount in several local department stores, hotels, tourism views, and gourmet stores to rise up the tourism industry.

Although the tourism industry was firmly prosper as trade shows went smoothly, but when a great shows took place at Taipei World Trade Center, it still exposed a major problem on transportation although Walter Yeh, Vice President of TAITRA, ever emphasized to improve this critical issue in a press conference.

Heatwave sweeps USA, many struggling to keep cool

Posted on by

Tuesday, July 18, 2006

Temperatures as high as 111°F (48°C) have hit the United States today, a continuation of Monday’s triple-digit (Fahrenheit) record highs in some areas.

High energy costs have many elderly and low income citizens keeping the air conditioning off, fixed incomes being blamed in many cases. In response to this, cities such as Chicago and New York have turned some public facilities into “cooling areas” for the duration. Buildings being converted include homeless shelters, senior centers, libraries and shopping malls. State agencies are urging anyone experiencing heat related symptoms to get to one of these places as soon as possible.

Early reports are attributing at least three dead from heat related complications in Philadelphia, Arkansas, and Indiana

The National Weather Service has issued Red Flag warnings for six states, warning that the heat could easily lead to forest fires. Much of the northeast corridor and central plains states have been issued heat warnings.

Relief is in sight for the northeast, with storms bringing cooler weather from the Ohio Valley through New England; however the central part of the US won’t see a break in the heat until the weekend.

When Looking For Used Auto Dealers In Tucson

When Looking For Used Auto Dealers In Tucson

Posted on by

byAlma Abell

When you are looking to purchase a used car, you are looking for that one automobile that is the perfect option for you. Unlike when you buy from the new lot, where one model is the same as the others on the lot, things get more complex when it comes to the used car lot. There could be two cars of the same make and/or model sitting next to each other on the lot; while they may look similar, there may be different issues with the engine, and with the interior of the car. With this in mind, you can’t just buy a car because it is a certain brand, at least not based solely on that basic information. You need to take the time to look deeply into each car that you consider when you are visiting Used Auto Dealers in Tucson. It’s not just about the way that the car outwardly looks; it is about what it will give you over time.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jURRsAMGuZk[/youtube]

The best way to get information on a specific car that you are looking at on the used car lot is to ask for it. It is incredibly easy to get a full history on each car that you are considering, and Used Auto Dealers in Tucson should be able to get it for you in a matter of minutes when you ask for it. This information will cover any work that has been done on the car, as well as any damage that may be well covered up. In addition, you need to give the car a thorough visual inspection, and take it out for an intensive test drive.

While you need to pay more attention to the individual car than the make and model, the name on the front of the car does mean something. Toyota is known for producing great new cars that end up becoming great used cars down the road. Because you want a car that was built for the long term, Used Toyotas in Tucson from a place like Craycroft Auto Sales should be an option that you are going to want to consider in your search.
