Taj Mahal replica constructed in Sonargaon (Bangladesh)

Taj mahal is situated at Agra in India. It is Built by the Emperor Sahajan.

Now Taj mahal is replaces at sonargon in Banglaesh named as Banglar Taj mahal. Ahsanullah Moni, a Bangladeshi film maker had the Taj Mahal replica constructed in Sonargaon, a small town located 30 kms away from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

"Taj Mahal" at a cost of Taka 400 crore, which was opened for all in exchange of entry fees though "it is not built with a commercial purpose".
The replica, located 30 km (18 miles) off Dhaka city, which he called "Banglar Taj Mahal", has been built on over four acres of land while the complex was much bigger in size to accommodate a five-star motel, a huge film studio and an amusement park. Moni, a film maker and hotelier, said the idea of building the structure first stroke his mind when he first visited Agra in 1980 while he made six more trips there to realise his plan to replicate it.

Banglar Taj Mahal" was not exactly the same size of the original while he used different materials including stones for the replica considering their weather suitability.
He said he imported marble and granite from Italy, diamonds from Belgium and used 160 kilograms of bronze for the structure built with the help of modern technology.
Otherwise it would have taken 20 years and 22,000 workers to complete it as the original structure had required.

Emperor Shajan Began around 1632 and was completed around 1653 and woked 20,000 men. It took huge time. But new Taj mahal took only 5 years and very less people. Ahsanullah Moni imported granite and marble from Italy and diamonds from Belgium for the decorations.

love is selfless

My wife called, 'How long will you be with that newspaper? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?

I tossed the paper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter, Sindu, looked frightened; tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled to its brim with curd rice. Sindu is a nice child, quite intelligent for her age.

I cleared my throat and picked up the bowl. 'Sindu, darling, why don't you take a few mouthful of this curd rice? Just for Dad's sake, dear'.

Sindu softened a bit and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. 'Ok, Dad. I will eat - not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot of this. But, you should...' Sindu hesitated. 'Dad, if I eat this entire curd Rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?'

'Promise'. I covered the pink soft hand extended by my daughter with mine, and clinched the deal. Now I became a bit anxious. 'Sindu, dear, you shouldn't insist on getting a computer or any such expensive items. Dad does not have that kind of money right now. Ok?'

'No, Dad. I do not want anything expensive'. Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the whole quantity. I was silently angry with my wife and my mother for forcing my child to eat something that she detested. After the ordeal was through, Sindu came to me with her eyes wide with expectation. All our attention was on her. 'Dad, I want to have my head shaved off, this Sunday!' was her demand.

'Atrocious!' shouted my wife, 'A girl child having her head shaved off? Impossible!'

'Never in our family!' My mother rasped. 'She has been watching too much of television. Our culture is getting totally spoiled with these TV programs!'

'Sindu, darling, why don't you ask for something else? We will be sad seeing you with a clean-shaven head.'

'Please, Sindu, why don't you try to understand our feelings?' I tried to plead with her.

'Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat that Curd Rice'. Sindu was in tears. 'And you promised to grant me whatever I ask for. Now, you are going back on your words. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harish Chandra, and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what?'

It was time for me to call the shots. 'Our promise must be kept.'

'Are you out of your mind?' chorused my mother and wife.

'No. If we go back on our promises, she will never learn to honor her own. Sindu, your wish will be fulfilled.'

With her head clean-shaven, Sindu had a round-face, and her eyes looked big and beautiful.

On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It was a sight to watch my hairless Sindu walking towards her classroom. She turned around and waved. I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy alighted from a car, and shouted, 'Sinduja, please wait for me!' What struck me was the hairless head of that boy. 'May be, that is the in-stuff', I thought.

'Sir, your daughter Sinduja is great indeed!' Without introducing herself, a lady got out of the car, and continued, 'that boy who is walking along with your daughter is my son Harish. He is suffering from... leukemia'. She paused to muffle her sobs. 'Harish could not attend the school for the whole of the last month. He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the chemotherapy. He refused to come back to school fearing the unintentional but cruel teasing of the schoolmates. Sinduja visited him last week, and promised him that she will take care of the teasing issue. But, I never imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of my son!

Sir, you and your wife are blessed to have such a noble soul as your daughter.'

I stood transfixed and then, I wept. 'My little Angel, you are teaching me how selfless real love is!'

The happiest people on this planet are not those who live on their own terms but are those who change their terms for the ones whom they love!!

Non-violence in parenting

Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Non-violence, in his June 9 lecture at the University of Puerto Rico, shared the following story as an example of "non-violence in parenting":
"I was 16 years old and living with my parents at the institute my grandfather had founded 18 miles outside of Durban, South Africa, in the middle of the sugar plantations. We were deep in the country and had no neighbors', so my two sisters and I would always look forward to going to town to visit friends or go to the movies.
One day, my father asked me to drive him to town for an all-day conference, and I jumped at the chance. Since I was going to town, my mother gave me a list of groceries she needed and, since I had all day in town, my father ask me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, 'I will meet you here at 5:00 p.m., and we will go home together.'
After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theatre. I got so engrossed in a John Wayne double-feature that I forgot the time. It was 5:30 before I remembered. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00.
He anxiously asked me, 'Why were you late?' I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a John Wayne western movie that I said, 'The car wasn't ready, so I had to wait,' not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said: 'There's something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn't give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I'm going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.'
So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn't leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered.
I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don't think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single non-violent action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday. That is the power of non-violence.

GREAT INDIANS...

ARYABHATT
(476 CE) MASTER ASTRONOMER AND MATHEMATICIAN

Born in 476 CE in Kusumpur (Bihar), Aryabhatt's intellectual brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called "Aryabhatiyam. " He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space - 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the Indians, "This value has been given by the Hindus." And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.

MAYUR MARU

How to make your password safe

WASHINGTON: Last year, one out of 13 people lost money due to internet fraud and identity theft, says a recent report. However, you can insure your password and data by following these easy-to-follow tips.
Always keep the cyber thieves guessing. Never use personal information to create a username, login or password. It could be the name of your pets, relatives, nicknames, dates of birth, etc.
Identity theft experts have become savvy at ferreting out these details. Hence, it is crucial to choose usernames and passwords that have nothing to do with your personal history.
Avoid using the same login and password across multiple sites and/or cards and accounts. If a thief gains access to one, it will be like a house of cards, allowing them to quickly wreak havoc across your entire financial portfolio.
Studies have consistently shown that a large fraction of all user-chosen passwords are readily guessed automatically. Shorter passwords are more susceptible to commercially available password recovery tools.
Such software is capable of testing 200,000 passwords per second. To improve the cipher strength of your password, longer passwords are better. Include a minimum of 8 characters -- using both upper and lower case letters and a mix of letters, numerals and symbols. Do not use words found in the English dictionary?
Put yourself into a thief's shoes -- don't even think about using an overly simplified password such as "12345678," "222222," "abcdefg."
Avoid sequential passwords or using passwords derived from the use of adjacent letters on your keyboard; this will not make your password secure. Also, avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols.
Criminals and other malicious users who know enough to try and crack your password will not be fooled by common look-alike replacements, such as replacing an 'i' with a '1' or an 'a' with '@' as in "L@rgeSoftw@re" or "P@ssw0rd."
But these substitutions can be effective when combined with other measures, such as length, misspellings, or variations in case, to improve the strength of your password.
There are many decent applications on the market that will digitally safeguard your various passwords. Avoid using the free ones "built-in" to browsers as these have been widely exposed for their security flaws.
Consider software like Password Manager that memories and securely stores each username and password that you enter on a website.
Whenever you return to that site, Password Manager being offered by large software.com will automatically complete your login information and click the submit button, making your login a snap, said a release of large software.com.

7 biggest PC threats

You think hacking is the biggest security threat on the World Wide Web? Time to rethink. According to Microsoft’s bi-annual Security Intelligence Report, rogue software and the lost and stolen PCs are the biggest culprits.
Here are the top seven security threats to our PCs.

Stolen PCs

Lost and stolen equipment, not computer hacking, continue to be the most common cause of security breaches. Over 50 per cent of the security breaches (that led to data loss) reported in second half of 2008 were a result of stolen or lost PCs.
To mitigate this threat, organizations must implement strong data governance practices to help protect data from criminal access.

Rogue security software

Also known as "scare ware," it takes advantage of users' desire to keep their computers protected. The rogue software lures users into paying for protection that is actually malware offering little or no real protection, and is often designed to steal personal information. The Microsoft Security Intelligence Report shows that such programs are now among the top threats across the world.
For example, two rogue families, Win32/FakeXPA and Win32/FakeSecSen, were detected on more than 1.5 million computers by Microsoft, catapulting them into the top 10 threats in the second half of the year. In addition, Win32/Reno's, a threat that is used to deliver rogue security software, was detected on 4.4 million unique computers, an increase of 66.6 per cent over the first half of 2008.

Rogue security software and other social engineering attacks such as these compromise people's privacy and are costly; some take personal information and drain bank accounts, while others infect computers and rob businesses of productivity.

Application layer

The report also showed that as software companies have improved the security of their operating systems, attackers have shifted their focus to the application layer, where the majority of vulnerabilities are now being reported; nearly 90 per cent of vulnerabilities disclosed in the second half of 2008 affected applications.

Exploiting vulnerabilities

A home user is usually targeted by a Trojan attack. While for enterprises, the weapon of choice is a worm attack. The biggest difference between enterprise and home vulnerabilities is social engineering.
The social engineering messages used in connection with rogue security software may be less effective in an enterprise environment, where malware protection is typically the responsibility of the IT department.
Worms rely less on social engineering to spread than Trojans and downloader's. Worms channels include unsecured file shares and removable storage volumes, both of which are often plentiful in enterprise environments.

Malware

Malware still remains a dominant threat. In the US, malware accounted for 67 per cent of all infected computers. Trojans -- the miscellaneous variety -- were detected on 29.4 per cent of infected computers.

Removal of unwanted software

Users don’t always remove unwanted software. Most security software companies’ scans allow users to ignore a security alert, allow software to remain, quarantine or remove it. If software is really malicious it is removed without user input. The gray areas appear when users have a choice.
These decisions are influenced by a number of factors, such as the user’s level of expertise, how certain they feel about their judgment regarding the software in question, the context in which the software was obtained, societal considerations, and the benefit (if any) being delivered by the software or by other software that is bundled with it.

Social networking is getting hotter, and with it riskier. Social networking sites remain one of the top phishing targets. Social networking phishing attacks represented less than 1 per cent of attacks, but yield a big chunk of phishing impressions.
A typical social network phishing is likely to trick many more users than a typical financial phish. There are a number of explanations for this discrepancy. While financial institutions targeted by phishes can number in the hundreds, just a handful of popular sites account for the bulk of the social network usage on the Internet, so phishes can effectively target many more people per site.
In addition, phishes often use the messaging features of the sites themselves to distribute their attacks, typically by gaining control of a user’s account and using it to send phishing messages to the victim’s friends. These attacks are more effective than email-based attacks as they exploit the considerable level of trust that users place in their friends.

What Woman want in life....

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question? What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query; but, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

Arthur returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table* and Arthur's closest friend. Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage and made obscene noises. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

Arthur refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: 'What a woman really wants,' she answered, 'is to be in charge of her own life.'

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared and so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom; what a sight awaited him. There was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen before him. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened and the beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below, but....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow her to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now .....what is the moral to this story?

The moral is: "If you don't let a woman have her own way....things are going to get ugly"

Comprendre une unique race de travailleurs: Le Temp

Comprendre une unique race de travailleurs: Le Temp
Jim McCoy
Une main-d'œuvre temporaire peut offrir des occasions stratégiques des gestionnaires de talent en tant que composante d'une main-d'œuvre portefeuille équilibré. Ils peuvent accroître l'efficacité et le retour sur investissement du processus d'embauche, d'offrir de nouveaux, moins coûteux pour les centres de coûts de la planification et renforcer la capacité d'une entreprise de rester rentable à travers des cycles du marché.
Maximisation de la valeur d'une main-d'œuvre temporaire exige l'identification des domaines de l'alignement entre temp travailleurs des besoins et des objectifs d'affaires. Les travailleurs temporaires sont de travailler avec des objectifs très différents, des attentes et des besoins. Comment remplir efficacement leur fonction de gestionnaires de talent peuvent correspondre à leurs aspirations avec leurs rôles dans la société.
Une taille ne convient pas à tous
Afin de maximiser la valeur stratégique d'une main-d'œuvre temporaire, le talent des gestionnaires doivent évaluer les besoins des travailleurs temporaires «en fonction de deux choses: l'évolutivité de l'engagement et la diversité des désirs.
1. L'évolutivité de l'engagement.
Il est surprenant de l'évolutivité de l'engagement profond à travers tous les segments de la main-d'œuvre temporaire. Temps de chaque type activement échelle de leur engagement et leur engagement sur la base du "match" le travail apporte à leurs objectifs et leurs besoins. Le même temp pouvez exécuter avec efficacité à différents postes différents. En outre, temps ont beaucoup plus de liberté à l'échelle d'engagement d'un travailleur ordinaire parce que l'enjeu de tout travail particulier sont beaucoup plus bas pour eux.
2. La diversité des désirs.
Deuxièmement, examiner la diversité des désirs à l'intérieur de la main-d'œuvre temporaire. Temps venir à leur travail avec des objectifs très différents, des besoins et des attentes. Les raisons de l'intérim, de la douleur et l'engagement des pilotes de points sont largement diversifiés. Qu'est-ce qui fonctionne pour un temp mai fonctionne pas pour l'autre. Mais tous les temps universellement attendent les entreprises à comprendre le rôle qu'ils jouent dans la main-d'oeuvre et les emplois disponibles pour répondre à leurs attentes.
Ces deux tendances se combinent pour poser un dilemme majeur pour les organisations. Si temps les besoins ne sont pas satisfaits, ils se désengager de leurs missions. Mais temp travailleurs les besoins et les attentes sont diverses et variées, des solutions génériques qui inefficace. Ainsi, en reconnaissant que tous les temps sont les mêmes, la question devient: comment trouver la bonne position à droite temp?
La première étape pour les gestionnaires de talent dans la résolution de ce dilemme est de comprendre leurs sociétés objectifs pour les travailleurs temporaires. Vente:
a) Pourquoi l'entreprise à l'aide d'une température plutôt que d'embaucher un permanent?
b) Quel est le principal bénéfice attendu de la stratégie du déploiement d'une main-d'œuvre temporaire dans différentes parties de l'organisation?
c) Est-ce que la question de flexibilité, afin d'essayer avant d'acheter, ou de découvrir de nouvelles façons de faire pour obtenir du travail?
Le Temp Persona
Veritude psychographique recherche menée pour étudier les travailleurs temporaires »les besoins, les objectifs et les attitudes. Après extraction de données, la grande diversité des temp travailleurs des objectifs et aspirations, trois personnes se temp.
Utilisez le temp personnes comme un outil pour aligner l'organisation et de besoins de main-d'œuvre. Ils offrent un aperçu de la température du point de vue du monde et faire en sorte que le talent des gestionnaires à optimiser la main-d'œuvre temporaire dans l'organisation. Les trois personnes sont: la recherche d'un emploi permanent, temporaire et de la carrière de l'argent.
Ceux qui recherchent de travail permanent ont tendance à considérer le travail comme un temp entre emplois de remplissage ou comme un tremplin, comme un premier emploi dès la sortie du collège, plutôt que d'une possibilité de carrière. Pour eux, l'intérim est un moyen de gagner de l'argent alors que la recherche d'un emploi à temps plein ou d'un intérimaire à la location de position.
Beaucoup de prendre un emploi temporaire dans un domaine d'intérêt de construire une expérience de travail et les compétences dans l'attente de trouver un emploi permanent dans le même domaine. Certains dans ce groupe de travail temp regarder comme une occasion d'essayer beaucoup de différentes entreprises et types de travail pour découvrir ce qui va les satisfaire comme une carrière.
À long terme, ces personnes cherchent un poste permanent, parce qu'ils pensent que les emplois permanents et offrir de meilleures prestations de sécurité à long terme. À court terme, ils sont conduits à chercher des emplois permanents, parce qu'ils sont mécontents de la façon dont sont traités temps. Ils ne se sentent pas partie du réseau social et sont traités comme des étrangers. Ils ont aussi un sentiment d'impuissance, disponible et vulnérable à la mauvaise gestion avec peu de recours.
De l'autre côté, la carrière temps apprécier les avantages de temp travail. Ils choisissent ce mode de vie pour sa flexibilité dans les horaires de tous les jours, de jours ou de périodes travaillées et de travail type. Beaucoup de rechercher les différents emplois de maintenir la température de stimulation.
En général, les temps ont une carrière plus détaché attitude à l'égard du travail que ceux à la recherche d'un emploi permanent. Ils ne cherchent pas d'une déficience mentale ou physique d'engagement à un emploi permanent ou d'une entreprise. Carrière temps ont tendance à être orientés vers l'exécution et ne sont pas particulièrement intéressés à faire partie d'une entreprise d'équipe. Ils sont intéressés à l'établissement de relations avec leur dotation en personnel des entreprises, mais généralement pas avec les sociétés dans lesquelles ils sont placés.
Ces personnes look pour des postes qui répondent à leurs exigences en termes de type de travail, de rémunération, de l'emplacement et compétences requises. Ils sont moins préoccupés par les avantages, comme ceux-ci sont souvent couverts par un conjoint ou des autres. Leur plus grande plaintes ont tendance à être un manque d'information à l'avance et un emploi ne répondant pas aux attentes en termes de rémunération et de fonctions.
D'autres personnes utilisent le travail temporaire comme un moyen de faire plus d'argent pendant les vacances ou pendant un arrêt de travail. Les étudiants sur les congés scolaires ou les enseignants au cours de l'été ne tombent dans cette catégorie.
Ils ont tendance à chercher à très court terme, tels que des conférences de travail, de faire de promotion ou de remplissage à court terme de bureau rôles. Le type de travail est généralement beaucoup moins important que le calendrier, les heures et les délais. "Extra cash" temps ont tendance à conserver ad hoc de travail et de communiquer avec les contacts de leurs réseaux à l'avance quand ils savent qu'ils veulent travailler pendant une certaine période.
Ces temps de regarder de temps défini avec peu de postes de l'engagement et la capacité d'aller et venir à volonté. Ils ont tendance à chercher des emplois variés et la possibilité d'essayer de nouvelles choses. Ils sont beaucoup moins engagés que les autres groupes et ont tendance à voir le peu de corrélation entre la température et d'un travail à long terme de carrière. En conséquence, ils cherchent à obtenir des emplois qui nécessitent peu d'investissement et de l'engagement et sont prêts à faire des sacrifices en matière de rémunération et de l'engagement et la croissance pour des raisons de calendrier.
Leur principale frustration est de ne pas pouvoir trouver du travail à court préavis. Souvent, ils se sentent les entreprises ne savent pas comment les atteindre ou ne sont pas suffisamment agiles pour répondre à leur disponibilité.
Talent gestionnaires doivent comprendre leurs effectifs aux besoins, ainsi que les types de travailleurs temporaires, à identifier et à les atteindre, et comment aligner leurs objectifs avec l'entreprise à atteindre ses objectifs. Ces résultats stratégiques sont la clé de rapport coût-efficacité de la planification et de la fondation d'un système efficace de main-d'œuvre salariée temporaire. Dans le cadre d'une stratégie plus large de talents, ce processus d'alignement robustes peuvent débloquer de nouveaux modes de planification des effectifs, d'accroître l'efficacité du recrutement de dollars et le talent des gestionnaires efficaces moteurs de la croissance des entreprises.
