Infomercials have a certain appeal and I was curious about one I recently saw while at the gym – the Neckline Slimmer.
Claiming to reverse the effects of aging without cosmetic surgery, the Neckline Slimmer is a device "Developed by world-renowned physiotherapist Paul Younane (never heard of him, have you?)...". This system claims to tighten the muscles that keep your face and neck looking young and beautiful. Advertised as an amazing toning system for the neck, chin and face, the Neckline Slimmer claims to deliver the following benefits:
•No more loose, hanging skin
•No Double-Chin or Neck Folds
•No Pain
•No Expensive Surgery
Dramatic results are guaranteed - in just 2 minutes a day.
You can buy the Neckline Slimmer over the phone or from the website, but does it deliver?
What Causes A Double Chin?
First of all it's important to note that a double chin may be caused by one of 3 things:
1. Excess fat, which can accumulate in the jaw area
2. Aging, which can result in loose, hanging skin due to decline in or damage to collagen and elastin, which form part of the skin's supporting network
3. An inherited tendency towards a double chin.
If you have a double chin and are overweight, then losing weight is your best bet in helping to eliminate or reduce the double chin. If your double chin is a result of aging, then it's most likely caused by saggy skin, which would best benefit from plastic surgery. It's unlikely that the exercises performed with the Neckline Slimmer will help to alleviate a saggy skin condition or a double chin caused by excessive weight.
On the other hand, if you have a genetic predisposition towards a double chin, losing weight may not deliver any noticeable results. Surgery, and possibly some of the exercises suggested with the Neckline Slimmer may work for you. In reviewing this product, I came across a number of websites that claim using an apple or orange will work just as well. Keep in mind that the internet is full of customer complaints against the charges levied by the company that distributes the Neckline Slimmer device. Raiding the fruit bowl or saving up for surgery may just be your best bet.
Has anyone tried this product?
Sharmani Pillay is a Registered Pharmacist who specializes in anti aging skin care and women's wellness. She owns and operates an online skin care store at [Link Removed].
does this really work?
Well, I can't wait to see the answers, I remember the question about the shaker weight that was so funny but turned out it worked according to many....
If this thing works I'll get one!

This best-selling introduction to social problems opens with an overview of the sociological tools and perspectives that are used in the study of social problems. The book provides a solid foundation by discussing fundamental changes and problems in the four basic social institutions — economy, government, education, and family — before examining more specific topics, such as health care or poverty. The volume addresses the sociological aspects of sociology and social problems, troubled institutions, the problems of inequality, conformity and deviance and the problems of a changing world. For those interested in the social problems and solutions that face society today.

James W. Coleman is a professor of sociology at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and past chair of the Social Sciences Department. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was a student of Donald R. Cressey who, until his death, was America's leading criminologist and the coauthor of this text.
Professor Coleman is an internationally recognized authority on white collar crime. In addition to numerous articles on the subject, he is the author of The Criminal Elite: Understanding White Collar Crime. He is also interested in the sociology of religion and has just published a new book on Western Buddhism called The New Buddhism: The Western Transformation of an Ancient Tradition.
Harold R. Kerbo is a professor of sociology at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Professor Kerbo has been promoting international education in the United States and abroad since the early 1980s with extensive teaching and research experience in Asia and Europe. In addition to other teaching experience in Tokyo, Professor Kerbo was a Fulbright Professor during 1988-1989 at Hiroshima University, as well as a visiting professor in the Law Faculty at Hiroshima Shudo University. During 1991, Professor Kerbo was a visiting professor at the University of Duisburg, Germany, and returned to the Dusseldorf area during 1992 and 1993 as a research professor conducting research on employee relations in Japanese corporations located in Germany. In 1990, Professor Kerbo received a Fulbright-Hays grant to study at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, and for several months during 1994-1996 directed a research project on employee relations in American and Japanese corporations with operations in Thailand. During 1996, he was also a visiting professor in the MBA Program at the Prince of Songkla University in Thailand. From 1995, Professor Kerbo has been in charge of annual study programs he helped establish for American students in Thailand, with study trips also to Laos and Vietnam. From 1998, Professor Kerbo has also been involved in establishing annual study programs in Japan. During the winter term of 1999, Professor Kerbo was a visiting professor at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and was a visiting professor at the University of Wales, Great Britain, during the fall term of 1999.
Professor Kerbo has published six books and numerous articles on the subjects of social stratification, comparative societies, corporate structure, and modern Japan. He is the author of the leading textbook on social stratification titled Social Stratification and Inequality, 4/E, and, along with John A. McKinstry, the author of Who Rules Japan?: The Inner-Circles of Economic and Political Power.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
From the first rough draft to this eighth edition, we have written this book for students. Our objective has been not only to familiarize undergraduates with the most trying problems of their times, but also to stimulate them to think in a critical, scientific way. We encourage them to challenge the half-truths and pat answers that many people accept simply because they have heard them repeated so often. We ask students to participate in the dialogue about these issues rather than merely stand back and observe.
Features of the Eighth Edition
The biggest change for the new edition is the addition of a new coauthor, Harold R. Kerbo. Harold is not only the author of America's leading social stratification text, he brings a wealth of other invaluable experience with him. He has an impressive body of crosscultural research to his credit and has taught in Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, Great Britain, Japan, and, of course, the United States. He is the editor of a series on comparative sociology and the author of numerous other books. In addition, we brought in Linda L. Ramos from the University of Colorado, Boulder, to strengthen still further the feminist perspective throughout this edition, and we gave her full charge of the chapters on aging and gender.
In preparing the eighth edition, we have tried to enhance the strengths that have made this book so successful over the years. Users of the previous editions have praised the broad coverage, the strongly worded debates on controversial issues, the informative graphics, and, most significantly, the consistent theoretical organization, including a section on the major theoretical perspectives in each chapter. These features have been retained or strengthened in this edition. Moreover, we have striven to maintain the same clear, straightforward style of writing—one that does not talk down to the reader or oversimplify complex issues—for which this book has become known.
A Global Perspective on American Problems
Much of the new material in this eighth edition attempts to bring a comparative sociological perspective to the study of American social problems. Although the focus of this text continues to be social problems in the United States, we have included new material about social problems in other countries in every chapter. We are convinced that in this ever more globalized society, American students gain a far better understanding of the social problems they face when they see how different social conditions in other countries affect those problems and how countries around the world have dealt with the same issues.
Boxed Features
We have continued three special boxed features that were exceedingly well received in previous editions. First, to counterbalance the "gloom and doom" that inevitably creeps into social problems classes, we have included numerous "Signs of Hope" boxes that highlight some positive trend or development. There are also "Personal Perspectives" boxes that seek to get students more personally involved in the issues by providing a vivid commentary from someone directly affected by a major social problem. And as in previous editions, "Debate" boxes in each chapter present two sides of a controversial issue to show students the complexity of various problems and encourage them to consider conflicting opinions.
New "Lessons from Other Places"
A new feature of this edition is the "Lessons from Other Places." These boxes usually feature the personal observations on social problems in other countries by one of the authors of this text. Our intent is to give students a more personal introduction to the problems of other countries by discussing some of our own personal experiences as Americans abroad.
Web Sources and Exercises
Visit www.prenhall.com/coleman
This new edition of Social Problems has been designed with Web material to find additional information about social problems in the United States and other countries, to locate and download various types of reports and articles about social problems from national and international agencies, and to obtain information about social problems from various newspapers around the world. We hope this information will be useful to students who want to obtain more information for student papers and reports, or simply for students who would like to find more information about topics covered in the chapters of this book. We also hope that our Web material can aid both students and faculty in finding the most up-to-date material about social problems. Through the Internet it has become possible for government agencies, welfare organizations, and various nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) to offer new data, sometimes updated monthly, that was unavailable at press time.
Also, our colleague, Meika Clucas, has provided numerous student exercises pertaining to the social problems covered in each chapter of this book. Meika Clucas has extensive experience in this area and brings to our project an excellent background as a comparative sociologist. Students can go to our Website to find exercises that enhance learning through questions and hints about how the answers can be found in the appropriate places on the Web.
Information on Our Website
Newspapers around the World. One of the best ways to learn about social problems is to simply read a good newspaper. This Website contains the Web addresses of the best U.S. newspapers as well as foreign newspapers in English, which can be used for these purposes. All of these newspapers provide free access to their news pages daily.
Information from U.S. Government Sources. The United States government provides an amazing amount of information for free on the Web. Over 70 government agencies have Web pages which contain data on subjects such as child abuse, drug use, crime rates, poverty trends, environmental dangers, health statistics, and much more. All of this is free and can be downloaded as data files into personal computers as well as read on the Web. Most of the government Websites require the software Acrobat Exchange for calling up and downloading the reports and information tables, but Acrobat Exchange is provided for download free of charge by these agencies. One can simply click on the Acrobat icon provided on the Website for a download that will take only a few minutes and minimal disc space.
Our Website indicates some of the best government Websites for information about social problems, the addresses, and how to use these Websites. One of the best for our purpose is the U.S. Census Bureau (www.census.gov), which gives people free access to hundreds of reports compiled by the Census Bureau, as well as the Statistical Abstracts of the United States, which compiles information on the most commonly asked questions every year.
Information from International Agencies. Many international agencies provide data on social problems for countries around the world much like the U.S. Census Bureau provides such information for the United States. The United Nations is one of these agencies, as are the World Bank, World Health Organization, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, International Monetary Fund, and the European Union's new statistical and information agency, Eurostat. As with the U.S. Government Websites, our Website will provide the Web addresses for all of the agencies and help you through the process of using these Websites and leaning what can be found. Web Exercises Web exercises offer questions about social problems and suggest how and where you can find answers to these questions. For each chapter, questions test your knowledge of the topics discussed in this book. We also suggest that groups of students can design some of their own questions exploring social problems in this and other countries which people may not have considered previously.
Cross-National Comparisons. Following the noted sociologist, Seymour Martin Lipset, who wrote, "Those who know only one country know no country," we have included many sources of information about social problems in other countries. By examining social problems in other countries and comparing them to the United Stakes, you gain a far deeper understanding about the causes and solutions to social problems. Such an examination makes us confront our own misconceptions about other countries and about our own. We have included much of this comparative information in the text, especially in the boxes, "Lessons from Other Places." Our Website includes a rich assortment of material that can be found on the Websites of many foreign government agencies and from NGO's that are working to eliminate social problems such as world poverty, the exploitation of women and children, environmental pollution, and AIDS, among many other social problems.
Suggested Readings. Previous editions of this text have provided a list of useful books and articles at the end of each chapter. For the current edition of this text, we are providing the list of additional readings on our Website so it can be periodically updated and revised.

In addition to these special features, this new edition continues the comprehensive set of pedagogical aids of previous editions:

text:
BACK PRINTING - any printing on the back of the form. Many insurance
forms and contracts will have "Terms and Conditions"
printed on the back in small gray, almost unreadable, type.
BAR CODES - accurate bar codes on forms and labels is one of
our specialties. We offer all formats and quarantee scanning accuracy
for inventory control, etc.
BUILD-IN LABELS - we can design and print your form with a buit-in
label with water-moisten adhesive on the back. These forms will
run through a standard printer and the label is perforated to
be removed after printing.
CARBONLESS - often used interchangeably with "NCR",
see below.
CARBONLESS OR WITH CARBON - printed using NCR paper, or regular
bond paper interleaved with carbon paper.
CLOSE REGISTER - in a multi-color form the two or more colors
have to print very close to each other, or actually touching.
Their accurate position is important to the appearance of the
COLOR SEQUENCE - the colors of paper in a set from top to bottom:
e.g. white/canary/pink, white/white/gold, blue/green/green/Manilla
COLORS OF INK - how many ink colors and what are they: e.g. All
Black, All PMS 300 Blue, Black and PMS 032 Red in close register.
CRASH NUMBERING - The number is printed in ink on the top sheet
and the NCR paper causes it to be "crashed" as an image
on the following sheets in the set.
DO ALL PARTS PRINT THE SAME - is each sheet of the set printed
with exactly the same information? Sometimes the last part is
a Packing List with the price area blacked out - this requires
an extra printing plate which increases the price.
EXTRA PERFORATIONS - these are perforations in addition to the
ones that allow the sets to be separated and the side pin-feed
strips to be removed. In check printing we usually add one extra
perforation between the check and the removable voucher.
HAND WRITTEN FORMS - forms used in the field are often hand written.
Some companies prefer forms with carbon for this purpose.
HOLES - are punched through the sets to fit filing systems. The
most popular are the standard 3 holes on the left edge of an 8.1/2
x 11 size, and 2 holes punched at the top or bottom of the form,
but holes can be punched anywhere on the form.
HOW CARBONLESS WORKS - NCR (No Carbon Required): Brand name of
Appleton Paper. Each sheet in a set has micro-encapsulated chemicals.
Carbonless works when two layers of these chemicals come together
under pressure - e.g. when typed on - the chemicals blend to produce
a color - black or blue. It is IMPORTANT that the set is constructed
so that two layers of chemical coating come together in the set.
e.g. a 3 Part Form would usually be: WhiteCB, CanaryCFB and PinkCF.
CB - coated on BACK only
CFB - coated on FRONT and BACK
CF - coated FRONT only
TAG - in white or manilla, coated FRONT only
HOW MANY PARTS - how many layers of paper are there in one set:
e.g. 3 part, 4 part, etc.
MARGINAL WORDS - words printed in red ink at the foot of the
form. Each layer can have different words to help in distribution:
e.g. ORIGINAL, OFFICE COPY, REMITTANCE COPY, PACKING SLIP, etc.
NUMBERING - the number is printed in ink on all sheets in the
set. The different plies of paper are collated together after
numbering. This adds to the cost so most customers request Crash
Numbering (see below).
PIN FEED - also called Computer Forms. These forms have strips
down the sides of the form with holes to match the tractor feed
mechanism on the dot matrix printer. They are usually removed
after data entry is complete.
SALES BOOKS - the printed forms are perforated at the head and
wrap round cover is stapled on. The cover is extra deep and has
a fold so it can be tucked between sets so the handwriting pressure
will only affect the top set.
SIZE OF FORM - the width from side to side including the tear
off strips, and the depth from top perforation to bottom perforation.
SOFTWARE COMPATIBLE - forms such as checks and invoices that
are designed with the "fields" positioned to contain
the information generated by bookkeeping or word processing software.
We print forms compatible with: Quicken, Peachtree and many others.
TAG BACK - the last part of a form set can be printed on a thicker
NCR material called Tag. This is a popular feature of Automobile
Repair Orders.
TORN OUT SIZE - the size of the business forms after the pin
feed strips and any stubs are removed.
WRAP ROUND COVERS - along folded cover attached to the top of
a set of forms - usually 25 or 50 sets per sales book (see above).

Nora's Shoe Shop: Positively Therapeutic!
Get ready for an uplifting experience that will do more than relieve tension.
|Share on Facebook
|Share on Twitter
Some women do and some don't. That is, regard shopping as therapeutic. Regardless of your stance, get ready for the most definitive retail therapy at Nora's Shoe Shop in Oak Park (103 N. Oak Park Avenue). At this quaint and sophisticated boutique, the experience of finding perfect footwear and extraordinary accessories will be positively curative.
Shoe shopping doesn't have to be stressful; as a matter of fact, it can be a downright uplifting experience, according to Gina at Nora's Shoe Shop. If you haven't been to Nora's charming boutique, with its signature red chandeliers, handsome hardwood floors, and walls artfully decorated with shoes as the masterpieces, there's a whole new world awaiting you.
The staff are ready to ferry you over to an experience that they liken to an adventure, "a purposeful journey," if you will. A shoe adventure? If a shoe adventure means not having to stand amidst a sea of people with one lone shoe in my hand, waiting for a free sales clerk to bring me a pair to try on, then I'm feeling more serene already.
Nora has developed a faithful following of dedicated and loyal customers who have come to expect an explosion of variety for you to get excited about, competitive price points, and clever tips for maximizing the potential of every shoe. You needn't worry about swatting away generic compliments of the that-looks-good fare. Instead, the staff will supply useful ideas to connect you to the right shoe: you might meet a sensual suede heel - a madcap match for an evening romp, or a multitasking sandal - a polite partner for a summer wedding.
The young ladies that comprise the team of workers at Nora's seem to genuinely enjoy helping customers look and feel their best: "We pay close attention, and customers trust us. We want to exceed people's expectations." They'll help you tie a look together, pick out the perfect gift, or just be your playmate if you're in the mood to play dress-up.
Nora's Shoe Shop boasts the largest collection of styles and lines in the area. "It's like walking into a closet of thoughtful concepts: you will find something that speaks to you." But if you're feeling a bit lost and find you're in need of guidance, know that the staff possess vast knowledge of the product at hand and are ready and waiting with direction and thoughtful observations.
Love the new strappy platforms that are out this season, but not sure how to style them? The gals at Nora's will offer six different suggestions on how to wear them. Is your shoe wardrobe relegated to muted tones of black and brown? Think outside the neutral box with fun, bright colors and tantalizing textiles. At Nora's Shoe Shop you have professionals waiting to assist; if need be, they're happy to aid you in carefully exiting your comfort zone.
After all, who doesn't appreciate an element of surprise in their wardrobe and in their shopping experience? The lines here ignite your curiosity and broaden your horizons. What a delight to find a shoe that reaches nirvana: the perfect balance of comfort and fashion, chic enough for work, but cool enough to go out in afterwards.
Taking a stroll through this shoe shop is like sifting through the consummate traveller's effects. Instead of picture postcards, however, you can chart Nora's journey to find the most stylish and highest quality merchandise by the winsome array of shoes, boots, belts, handbags, and jewelry that grace her unique boutique.
The lines she carries speak of far-away places and adventure, taking us from Italy to Spain and back to New York for amazing handmade designs by hot and upcoming designers. Pikolinos, Alla, Ada, and Helena de Natalio are just a few of the lines that Nora is bringing to us lucky ladies from her overseas buying.
And this Spring of 2011, Nora will be opening her second shop in Geneva, Illinois. The same amazing selection and therapeutic shopping experience can be expected: "You will be taken care of. We believe in making people feel good. "
For a peek at Nora's lovely lines, visit www.norasshoeshop.com or visit 103 N. Oak Park Avenue.

A Shareholders Agreement is a way of anticipating potentially divisive issues that may arise among shareholders and working out ways to resolve them before differences of opinion turn into arguments and escalate into tensions that impact your business. A Shareholder's Agreement can outline the governance and capital structure of the company; restrict sale of stock to outsiders; delineate the rights and responsibilities of shareholders; and whatever other miscellaneous provisions are necessary to the overall smooth operation of your company.
A too common scenario of business disaster is when BFFs go into business together, full of energy and excitement, as 50/50 shareholders, sure that they will always agree or work out a reasonable compromise. They don't need a shareholders agreement because they get along so well, have their objectives totally aligned, and besides, they would never have that kind of a falling out because they respect and understand each other.
Then something happens. They disagree on a business opportunity, or one of them takes too much time off – maybe for a very good reason he assumes the other will understand. Aggravations surface, and escalate into a full blown dispute. They stop talking. Business decisions are made unilaterally.
With no Shareholder's Agreement, we look at the statutory requirements. Voting is by shares of stock; each shareholder owns the same percentage of stock, so each has the same number of votes. Each shareholder is entitled to the same distribution of profits, even if one stops working. The one who is continuing to operate the business may want to vote the other out, but can't because he doesn't have a majority of the votes. They are deadlocked. The North Carolina Statutes do not provide a solution.
But if you have a Shareholder's Agreement, it can provide that in the case of such a dispute, one shareholder can offer to purchase the other's shares in the corporation for a price he considers fair. The second shareholder then has a period of time to decide whether to accept the offer, or turn around and buy out the first shareholder for the same price. The Shareholders' Agreement could also designate ahead of time which shareholder would keep the business in the event of such a dispute, and provide a formula for determining the payout of the one who will leave.
Understanding the consequences of disagreement provides an additional incentive to come to an agreement, and increases the likelihood that the business will continue. A well crafted shareholder's Agreement can keep your business running smoothly.

Customer retention: You know it matters. In fact, for 64% of you, it's already your top priority.1 And when it comes to the best way to achieve that goal, the facts are clear. Nothing has a bigger impact on customer retention than the ownership experience.
94% of dealership personnel state that the ownership experience is more important than the repair itself.2 Believe it or not, the experience matters even more than the actual car. A customer who expresses dissatisfaction with their vehicle but has an outstanding service experience has the exact same retention potential as one who loves their car but has an average service experience.3
When you give customers their preferred experience, they're more likely to return for future service…and future vehicle purchases. But to create this experience, you need the right systems. Tools that deliver the convenience, efficiency and transparency your customers expect. And the best ones for the job are in the cloud.
If it's hard to imagine the cloud working in your dealership, don't worry — it can be tough to visualize. Fortunately, some dealerships already use the cloud to deliver a next-level ownership experience. Let's take a look at what they're achieving.
More Convenient Scheduling
Tully Williams, fixed operations director at Del Grande Dealer Group in San Jose, California, knows offering online scheduling options is essential. "Customers are looking for convenience and speed. They want to schedule appointments with a few clicks and know it went through, instead of filling out a form and hoping for the best," he said. And he's right…but most scheduling applications are hit-or-miss.
On average, 57% of email request forms go unanswered.4 No response, no confirmation, nothing. It's impossible for customers to tell whether or not their request went through. And if scheduling appointments is inconvenient and confusing, they won't do it. That leaves dealers relying on walk-ins, resulting in uneven loading, unfilled slots — and $135 lost for every hour of unused technician time.5
To improve his scheduling experience, Williams turned to the cloud. Tracking his shop capacity in real time, he displays available appointments online, so customers can easily select the best time for them. And since the cloud integrates with his marketing solutions, he can send his customers confirmations, raising the odds that those appointments will be kept.
John McSherry, general manager of Central Valley Nissan in Modesto, sees serious benefits from his cloud-based scheduling platform. "If we're living off appointments instead of not knowing what's coming in today," he said, "we can be better prepared for the customer." And that preparedness pays off — appointments increase one-year service retention by 12.4% over walk-ins.6
More Efficient Messaging
Your customers are happy to communicate with you … but they're tired of receiving messages that don't matter. Many dealers spend $2,000 a month or more on direct mail promotions that don't apply to many of their customers.7 Or they send bulk, generic emails that only relate to a small segment of their base.
When messaging and service history are disconnected, you can't tell which customers would benefit from which promotion. And the more you waste customers' time, the less likely they are to come back.
When your messaging is in the cloud, you can match the right customer to the right offer at the right time, drawing on customer patterns and profiles to create segmented, targeted campaigns. Additionally, by using the cloud to view real-time shop capacity, you can identify and target open time slots. By using price elasticity to promote these slots to lapsed customers, dealership service departments can bring in lost souls and maximize shop capacity simultaneously.
Williams attributes his increased show rates to proper messaging: "We've been able to deliver targeted messages to our customers. Now we can communicate with customers one-to-one, and remind them when to come in." This does more than cut down on waste — it provides value that brings customers back.
More Transparent Check-in
Before customers will return to your dealership, they need to trust you. And that means all the information you provide must be consistent and reliable. Unfortunately, at many dealerships, that's not the case. When messaging and service menus live in separate systems instead of in the cloud, inconsistencies are common. An email may quote a different price, or a different procedure, than what advisors tell customers in the service lane — not the way to nurture trust.
Dennis Kraut, service manager of Central Valley Nissan, tackled this by bringing cloud-enabled tablets into the service drive. When pricing is in the cloud, it's consistent across all channels. And because service advisors use tablets right at the vehicle, they can explain to customers what service is needed on the spot. This transparent, open communication goes a long way to nurture customer trust.
Bringing tablets into the service drive has a measurable impact on the ownership experience. As Kraut put it, "Your customers are comfortable using iPads and smartphones. A customer-friendly experience will leverage that technology." Dealers who take his advice see results — tablets increase customer retention index scores by 72 points on average, and increase service retention during paid appointments by 11%.8
Customers on Cloud Nine
Research shows that consumer expectations for the service experience are rising rapidly. But Shaun Del Grande, president of Del Grande Dealer Group, knows that what they want isn't complicated. "They want speed, convenience, transparency," he said. "Overall, they want a quality experience when they bring their car in for service." And when they receive it, their retention potential skyrockets.
Are you prepared to deliver? Few dealers are — only 17% believe their existing systems provide an outstanding ownership experience.9 If you don't have the tools to provide the convenience, efficiency and transparency customers want, it's time to find tools that do.
It's time to turn to the cloud.

Msunduzi Municipality will be claiming payments owed by ratepayers.
"If this situation persists, we are going to be attaching their assets as well," Msunduzi's Thobeka Mafumbatha says.
Mafumbatha says they're also offering a reprieve for residents.
They'll be given a discount of 50% or more off their bills until January 4.
She says they had to resort to tough measures to get ratepayers to pay their debts which have ballooned to a collective R2 billion.
"If the account is handed over to lawyers, the lawyers will do their collections. Once the lawyers are doing their collections, you must know that you are going to be charged with interest. Failure to pay will result in your assets being attached," she says.

A second look at the enigmatic HB191 and how schools will benefit
Ohio House Bill 191 is generally known as the education bill that promotes tourism by altering the restrictions around when schools can begin (after Labor Day) and end (before Memorial Day). There are exceptions to those parameters, but the main impetus of the bill remains a change from a required minimum number of days a district is in sessions to a minimum number of hours. I posted a critique of the legislation a couple of weeks ago.
Yet ever since that post I've been wondering how Bill Hayes (R), one of the sponsors along with Bill Patmon (D), could have been so far off in his thinking. Here's what the Columbus Dispatch reported after the committee heard from the public on February 1:
State Rep. Bill Hayes, R-Harrison Township, a co-sponsor of House Bill 191, said he was surprised by the testimony. Under current Ohio law, schools must be open for 182 days.
But that number, Hayes said, includes days when classes aren't in session, including snow days, parent-teacher conferences and teacher in-service programming.
"At best in many districts, they're going about 170," Hayes said. "So this bill, I think, in many districts is going to create kids going to school longer."
I kept wondering how he could have been so wrong, so I took a look back at both the bill and my calculations and think I may have discovered the disconnect.
First, Hayes' comments about snow days, conferences, and teacher in-service training are a moot point. Both the existing law and Hayes' bill account for these days and hours in equal fashion.
The most interesting change is in the minimum requirements. Current law mandates that schools hold classes on 182 days, for five clock hours per day (academic classes). Simple math shows us that this adds up to a minimum legal requirement of 910 total hours of school per year.
House Bill 191 actually requires an increase in the minimum number of hours of academic instruction up to 1,050. [Brief note: the laws differentiate between grades K-6 and 7-12, but the calculations for K-6 account for recesses in their own unique way rendering the number of hours essentially the same for each grade band.] So while I talked about the school year for my son potentially dropping in the number of days, it can be said that Hayes' proposal actually increases the minimum standard for schools by 140 total hours per year.
So why are we claiming that 4 weeks will be cut from the school year when Hayes' seems to have added 140 hours?
Because the vast majority of Ohio school districts aren't working at the minimum level. Students are typically engaged in learning for more than the required five hours per day – anywhere from 5 1/2 to 7 hours in classes, between 1001 to 1274 total hours per year. With the current minimum being 910 hours, it's easy to see how schools are exceeding that figure. It's also to see why Hayes could have mistakenly believed he was raising the bar for education as he proposed an increase to 1,050.
So here's where I'm going to do a complete about-face and talk about how this bill can be salvaged and work to improve public education in Ohio.
House Bill 191 demands an increase in state education funding.
Under today's law, schools are funded by the state for being in session for the minimum number of hours – 910. The structured per pupil funding amounts are based on the premise that schools are providing an education for the minimum five hours per day, 182 days per year, 910 total school hours. Schools that try to do more than this? That's a problem that is dealt with at the local funding level through locally decided levies, not through any state dollars. Districts are currently compensated based on the current hours mandated by state law. A change in that state law to increase the minimum requirements necessitates a comparable increase in state funding. The state can't reasonably expect a school district that is following the legal requirements to simply increase their workload by 15% (910 hours to 1,050 hours) without a comparable increase in funding.
Thus here's the silver lining of House Bill 191 for public education: a 15% increase in state funding to every school district to meet the new required number of hours of instruction.
I'm not sure where that extra $1.3 billion will be coming from, but I'm sure everyone will put it to good use. Does anyone think Cleveland's mayor or CEO of schools will refuse an extra $54 million per year?
I never thought I would say this, but "Thank you, Representative Bill Hayes, for working against your Governor and your party to find a creative way through HB191 to restore Kasich's cuts to public school funding in Ohio."
Great now the GOP will chuck the bill after finding out that schools already exceed the hours in class and the need for more funding to implement the bill.
As a teacher what gets me going is that this "education bill" has nothing to do with the education of our children. We already exceed the minimum hours per year of school. What they propose with the shorter year we will find will not help anyone. It will only give the typical child more time away from school and more time to lose what they just learned. More time at the beginning of the year to catch them back up with less time of real learning. And oh ya, what recess? my Kindergarteners who go all day only get 15 minutes a day before lunch. I think Repub's and Dem's alike need to get their heads out of their …… 's and have an education bill that is actually going to help the "real" education of our students and children.
progressive dem
In terms of educational quality, this bill is AWFUL! We need more days in school, but not necessarily more hours in a day. Countries like China have kids in school for more than 200 days a year. This bill is a joke.

In a strange reversal of attitudes to credit entirely to the generosity of Israel treating casualties of the horrible civil war in Syria next door, the word now in Syria (at least in rebel ranks)
is that the Jews are good guys after all. Better yet, they are their only hope since they cannot access proper medical treatment anywhere in Syria today. History is filled with such unexpected
turns of events, but this one is particularly interesting given the fact that the beneficiaries of Israel's benevolence are people who were raised since the cradle in the belief that the Jews
were the closest thing to the devil incarnate and that they had no right to live among Muslims. Even though it is a shock for many Syrians today, it doesn't take them very long to realize the
dimenstion of the lies they were forced to swallow. With each Syrian patient returning to Syria today (close to 1,000 today if you add civilians and combatants), a little bit more of the light of
truth will penetrate the darkness of lies. Of course Israel also expects something out of this, i.e. intelligence regarding the different components of the anti-Assad forces. Some Syrians agree
to share what they know as a show of gratefulness, others prefer to keep quiet, and Israel doesn't force them to talk. Once they're back on their feet, they are returned to Syria.

The Time Line
Who are we but our collection of memories? For years, psychologists have agreed that our past experiences do determine who we are and how we act. Memories are recorded and stored as we age and with time, they have more and more influence. Our Time Line is the memory coding of the brain. It is how people encode and store their memories. Otherwise, how would you know the difference between a past memory and a future dream?
Within these timelines are also decisions we've made about ourselves and the world, deep filters (unconscious) that shape our perception, values (our engine), beliefs and attitudes. Our memories, our decisions, our experiences good and bad are collected here over time and determine how we relate to the world. How we store our memories affects how we experience our lives and how we experience time.
Great thinkers and philosophers as far back as the Greeks have talked about the notion of time lines and you will find the idea in many cultures, but our understanding today of the brain and the 'unconscious' has opened up a wealth of information that gave rise to Time Line Therapy in the 70's out of NLP.

Every time I watch this film I am more impressed by how amazing Cousteau and his team were, not only in developing new technology, but in sharing this new unexplored world with their viewers. Although some of their methods may seem almost criminal by today's standards; shooting a baby whale after hitting it with their ship, clubbing sharks to death, and blowing up coral reefs with dynamite, Cousteau and his team were true scientific pioneers way ahead of their time. In Wes Anderson's film Rushmore, Max Fischer finds the following Cousteau quote handwritten in a library book, "When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself." I couldn't agree more. WATCH IT NOW!

So this weekend we have a couple of clashes from the top seven.
Liverpool vs Arsenal
This is a very interesting game with both teams in the middle of a tight race to finish in the top four. Also, both teams haven't been showing their best form in the last few weeks and will be looking to get a big three points here. I feel that both teams will attack hard from the off and whoever scores first will look to switch to a more defensive counter attack style of play, opening the door for a late equaliser.
Prediction: 1 – 1 @ 6/1
Or any draw score @13/5
Tottenham vs Everton
Tottenham are in a stronger position in the league but current form is in Everton's corner. Koeman said this week that he is pushing for a top four finish. That may be asking too much as three teams above him would have to have big blips. That said, I like what he is doing at Everton and feel they can take a point here to dent Tottenham's top four prospects.
Prediction 0-0 @ 12/1
Or any draw score @ 16/5
So may main tip of the day is a draw double @ 14/1.
Why not go big with the score double @ 90/1?
Best of luck,

Hi All,
I have around 300 employees report to run for a specific employee, I cannot have a Dropdown as it would be too long for the report user to choose from. Is it possible in SSRS 2008 to have a text box that would provide intellisence like AJAX textbox and provides
user with Employee name to choose from database or is there any other better way to select the right mployee name to run this kind of report. being a newbie to SSRS I am unable to go furthur on this. All help is great help. Thanks in advance for responding.
View Complete Post
I have created one SSRS 2005 report with 3 dependent parameters ,they are BusinessUnit,Account,Project.In SSRS solution file when i click a specific BU name ,then at the same time Account parametr refreshes and shows the corresponding account names
and the same for project.
I deployed the report in to sharepoint 2007,that time the account parameter filed is not refreshing paralleling when i click a BU and it shown as inactive.Only when i click the apply parameter acoount fild shows the corresponding account names.Please
help me to avoid the issue.Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
I am wondering if it is possible to restrict the choices for a parameter depending on the user rights. For instance, if an "administrator" can select three different options for
one particular parameter, a "normal user" should only be able to choose from two.
I am using Sharepoint 2007 and Reporting Services 2005.
Best wishes
How can we sort the parameter list in report created using report model in ssrs 2008 r2? Do I need to change some property in Model or elsewhere?
Hi all,
I have a report where I have to show the Week start and end date in the dropdown instead of the date range. Please advice me how to proceed with this report parameter. Thanks a lot in advance, all help is appreciated.
I have a custom assembly that returns an Arraylist and I am wondering if I can populate the drop-down list of a particular parameter by this list. To me, it seems that I can
either have static values for such a drop-down list or that I can query the items from a dataset. However, I do not see how I can populate the list using custom code.
How can I get all the textboxes inside a create user wizard control using getElementsByTagName().
Below is my JQuery code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function addLoadEvent(func) {
var oldonload = window.onload;
if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
window.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
function prepareInputsForHints() {
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("asp:TextBox");
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].onfocus = function() {
this.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("span")[0].style.display = "inline";
inputs[i].onblur = function() {
this.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("span")[0].style.display = "none";
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
I have a problem I can't figure out.
I've been trying to add a listbox with multi select enabled as a parameter to my select statement in sqldatasource.
So i created a function like this :
string strItemTypes = "";
foreach (ListItem li in lbItemType.Items)
if (li.Selected)
strItemTypes += "," + li.Value;
strItemTypes = strItemTypes.Substring(1);
which gives me the selected items like this for example : "1,2,3"...Then I've been trying to add it to my sql select statement :
SELECT tblOfficesItems.idOfficesItems, tblStockItems.Name, tblStockItems.Description, tblStockItemTypes.TypeItem, tblStockItems.Notes FROM tblOfficesItems INNER JOIN tblStockItems ON tblOfficesItems.fkItem = tblStockItems.idItem INNER JOIN tblStockItemTypes ON tblStockItems.fkTypeItem = tblStockItemTypes.idTypeItem WHERE tblStockItems.fkTypeItem IN ( @fkTypeItems )
using a hiddenfield with a controlparameter of type=objectbut it just don't seem to work, seems like the data just won't bind or something and I don't get any errors so I'm confused!!
then i tried this :
SELECT tblOfficesItems.idOfficesItems, tblStockItems.Name
I have a user control (ContainerCtrl) which programmatically instantiates another user control (SimpleCtrl) in OnLoad. It builds and runs fine, but when I publish it I get the error "error BC30002: Type 'ASP.SimpleCtrl' is not defined." (If I publish without the "updateable" option there's no error, but I need the site to be updateable.)
I assume this has to do with the particulars of how the assembly(ies) are built for the different compiler options. My question is, how can I get it to work properly for "updateable" publishing?
VS 2008 / .NET 3.5 sp1
The code follows (web.config is the default from Visual Studio).
Many thanks, Dave

Greece will be represented by artist Maria Papadimitriou's work titled Why Look At Animals? focusing on the relationship between reason and instinct. The installation consists of a shop, which sells animal hides and leather, transferred from the city of Volos. The AGRIMIKÁ are animals that coexist with humans, but resist domestication.

It's my first time visiting Cambodia and I needed a hotel that suits for solo traveler who has a tight budget.This hotel clearly fit my preference. I am not only amazed by how affordable the hotel is despite its location and how nice my room...More
"get up before 10:30am to enjoy the free breakfast, we slept in and missed it"
"Get one far from construction and the elevator goes only to the 3rd floor."
"Rooms away from the construction site are quieter. The 4th floor is nice, but he lift only goes to the 3rd..."

Artecology (ärt-ĭ-kŏl′ə-jē). Mixed discipline ecology/art dealing with biological relationships between organisms & the built environment.
We are a science & art collaboration between ecological consultants Arc Consulting and public artists Eccleston George. We formed in 2015 with the mission to create a new architectural grammar of ornament & design for the built environment that speaks to wildlife and people equally. Artecology projects won a Big Biodiversity Challenge Award 2016 and a Special Commendation in 2017.
Why hire our services?
Artecology isn't only about enhancing public spaces & places for the benefit of people and nature, another very important aspect of our work is public engagement. As ecologists and artists we have a wealth of experience working with communities be they businesses, social housing, schools or general public. Creative and meaningful community engagement is crucial to principles that form the bedrock of Artecology. We have seen how a creative collaborative approach to development can galvanize community engagement and participation on issues that impact on quality of life for everyone and everything.
What Artecology is doing?
- Working with UK universities, Artecology is creating systems for bioactive building and development: new construction and landscaping materials that deliver enriched environments for wildlife and people alike.
- Artecology is collaborating with leading universities and industry to develop policy and practice in green-grey infrastructure and asset resilience, bringing the most successful solutions for built environments.
- Artecology is being used for climate-change adaptation, tackling coastal squeeze on defended coasts; as retrofit urban ecosystem enhancement; in masterplanning design guidance for new developments and as a tool for stakeholder engagement.
- Artecology is engaging communities, schools and the public with their local environments to create spaces that are improved for wildlife and humans.
What are the key advantages of commissioning us?
- Maximize ecological gains and build-in ecosystem services at the masterplanning stage, simplifying compliance and regulation and save on planning agreements and conditions later.
- Make the built landscape a part of the site's ecological functionality; make architectural distinctiveness work for people and wildlife.
- Retofit Artecology to existing structures and features, repair sites with our bioactive materials, or use our textured form templates for new construction.
- Combine Artecology hard and soft landscaping specifications to install green-grey effects and benefits into constrained sites.
- Create public spaces that deliver and sustain wellbeing and high social return on investment, CSR and legacy.
- Build-in biological asset resilience to your project, reducing site maintenance and increasing value.
- Combat climate change and future-proof your projects, add adaptive capacity and resilience to your engineering.

March 12, 2017 at 1:38 pm #32337
We talk about this on one of the later episodes. It's unlikely that many people saw themselves as Anglo Saxons. We do see the use of Anglecyn and Englisc being used as time goes on, but most people likely saw themselves as part of their family identity, then their village identity, and then maybe their kingdom identity. But as for an overarching ethnicity? That was probably something that your average person didn't even contemplate.

2010 Honda Insight EX: Who Needs Passengers
July 13, 2009
When Erin posted that she thought Consumer Reports was wrong in their confusing bashing of a pretty OK car, I was with her. (C'mon, it's not even close to as bad as a Caliber.) And then I talked to James Riswick, "Let me show you the rear headroom. It's unbelievably bad. I'l show you." I insisted that I wasn't interested, I don't carry rear seat passengers enough to care. But he was more insistent and I was bored. Oh, and we happened to have a 2010 Prius right next to it.
Follow the jump for a head-to-headroom comparison between our Long Term 2010 Honda Insight, and a 2010 Toyota Prius.
Instrument for Testing: James Riswick. Height: 6'3" Both front seats were set to mimic his driving position.
Vehicle 1: Toyta Prius
Acceptability level: High
Available space: 1 Riswick
Vehicle 2: 2010 Honda Insight
Acceptibility level: Very low.
Available space: 0.723 Riswicks
From a better angle:
So while a few of their complaints were, in mine and Erin's opinions, faulty, there's simply no excuse for making someone sit like this.

Do you want more fun and excitement to your life? Keep reading to learn about tips that could help you get all that you can out of your hobbies as much as possible.
Reading is an interesting hobby that many enjoy. Reading is great because you are transported to different worlds. You are also able to read in any place you happen to be, so long as there's nothing too distracting. Choose a genre you like and begin this hobby today.
Don't let glue or tape build up by wiping them wiped off after using them. To clean scissors well, use soap and water to wash them, and make sure they are fully dried prior to storing them. Nail polish will help you remove extremely sticky adhesive.
Never let your hobby run your life. Hobbies are wonderful, but you have other commitments that have to be met. If activities related to your hobby are hindering other areas of your life, then it is time to reduce your involvement.
If you want to transform your hobby into a money making enterprise, you need to pick a name for it. Your company's name is essential for developing your business. It has to be original, memorable and should connect with your business and whatever products you plan to sell.
If you wish to get a new hobby that can help you lose some weight, you can start exercising. Why not try training for a marathon, or learning to swim with the children. These two things can be both a hobby and a way to get exercise.
Talk to others who enjoy your hobby. Not everyone will have an interest in the same interests as you. Join forums online or support groups offline made of people that love what you do.
Caving could be a fun hobby if you live in a good area for it. This hobby takes a lot of knowledge and preparation. A guide could be the safest when exploring dark and deep caves.
Caving can be great hobby for anyone geographically able to enjoy it. You must be prepared for this adventure and know what you are doing. A guide is needed when you're trying to get through a cave that you've never been to.
Show people what you have accomplished in your hobby. It's the random things in life that make it special. These things could be a part of your hobby. Allow others to enjoy your hobby. Show the world what you're involved with. It will also help you to create friendships with like-minded people.
Horse riding can be a great hobby that gets you outside. You can also bond with your horse as well.
Go outside and take up gardening. Some people may see it as hard work, but you might love it. Drop a couple of seeds in the ground come springtime, take care of them during summer, then enjoy what sprouts to life by autumn. You can really save a lot on your food and also enjoy putting your green thumb to use.
Share information about your favorite hobby with like-minded individuals. The little things you do that involve other people pleasure. Your hobby gives you a smile on someone's face. Allow others to see your hobby. Let the world see what you are doing in your life.You will make new opportunities and make new friends by doing so.
Do you like taking pictures? It's not hard to learn, and it's something that can even bring your family closer together. Let your kids go crazy with the digital camera. You might be amazed by what they produce. Share the camera with everybody. Later, you can kick back and check out the pictures.
Have a couple of hobbies. Having diverse interests will make you a more diverse. It may be smart to choose hobbies you are able to do at various times and seasons of the year.
Think about taking up collecting as a new and rewarding hobby. Look things up on the Internet to see what they are worth. Check out eBay and other sites, and you can sell off your items to people who will pay the most!
If you have a little extra time and want to enjoy it, a hobby is the perfect thing. No matter what your interest, there is a hobby out there with your name on it. Keep the tips shared here in mind to get the most from whatever hobby you choose.
It's important to be able to afford your new hobby. While golf may seem inexpensive, it's very expensive to buy the gear or to reserve time at an exclusive golf course. This also applies to car collecting and things like deep sea fishing. These hobbies take quite a bit of money. You must create a firm budget and stick to it.

Lesson 19: Resources and Pictures
Ten years ago when I first started to learn to write code using BeOS, I had a lot of questions that I couldn't any documentation to give me the answers. Luckily, there was the Be Code Talk mailing list and kindhearted members of the community, like David Sowsy (Animaxo, Vesa Accepted). Resources are one of those things that eluded me. Eventually I figured them out, but Lesson 19 lays some of it out in plain conversation.

PalEdit's All in Pieces
All over my floor.... or something like that. I spent most of the weekend ripping apart and putting back together pieces of PalEdit in a separate folder -- code that hasn't made it into the tree yet. Yesterday afternoon I had successfully refactored the code for the text editing view. It's possible to type and delete text, but that's about it -- even little things like the arrow keys don't work yet. Syntax highlighting is disabled for the moment, too. That's OK, though. Those features will get their turn, too. The big accomplishment is that I'm pretty sure that the hardest part is over: reducing dependencies until all I have left is a BView which I can type code into. This will enable all sorts of nice things like the possibility of a tabbed interface, properly-implemented split views, and more. I'm getting a better handle on how most of the code works, too, so I *might* be able to implement my #1 most wanted feature: code completion. We'll see. :)

Lesson 18: Working With Lists... and Other News
We're starting to get closer to the end of this Learning to Program series. After toying with menus and interface colors in the last lesson, we apply some of the concepts used with menus to get the hang of using list boxes and discover along the way a few bizarre sports that really exist. Games people play. Sheesh.
Sources: 18ListTitle.zip
In other news, I've been running a little slower with the lessons as the school year winds down -- 12 school days and counting as of today! It's a little tougher to get the time and motivation to write when time's tight and Valve released Portal for free. Sometimes it's a tough choice. ;-) I've also been spending time -- mostly on the weekends -- doing some serious hacking on PalEdit. The more I work with it, the more I discover that it's like going to the Olive Garden: high-quality spaghetti. I managed to rip out all of the rez resources (yay!) and strip it down to pretty much bare metal.
Right now I'm in the process of refactoring the sources so that source code editing is encapsulated into a single BView. This has helped immensely with my understanding of how to write a text editor. It will also enable tighter integration of the editor with Paladin's project management and hopefully enable me to figure out how to implement code completion, the one sorely-missing feature on my personal hit list. I guess we'll see.

Lesson 17: What's on the Menu?
After an unintended wait, Lesson 17 is finally out. We are back to learning about hacking on the Haiku GUI after taking a short C++ language break. Today's topic? Menus. Also in this lesson is some expansion of what we know about messaging and BViews.
Project: 17MenuColors.zip

Happy Reunions
It's been official for about a week or so now, but I haven't had any time to do anything with it. I've rejoined Haiku. My life is a lot different from when I left, and people were glad to have me back. It's kind of strange how there's often a disconnect between people who don't live far apart, but never get to see each other for whatever reason. This is very much like that. No matter.
My first act was to patch a crash when clicking on the leaf menu when the Deskbar was stretched across the width of the screen -- "Start Menu" mode. Axel made a bigger patch based on it, so I'm happy. Now I'm going to see if I can get the system colors that are tweakable via Appearance to actually make color changes across the system. It's actually the fault of the controls in the Interface Kit, not Appearance, so we'll see what happens on that one. Should be interesting. :)
It's good to be back.

UPDATE: Fayetteville breaks record high temperature, Fort Smith ties
UPDATE: Fayetteville breaks record high temperature, Fort Smith ties
UPDATE: Jay, the tower operator, says the temperature just peaked at 81°, before dropping back down to 78°. So, officially, this mean Fayetteville has now broken the record high temperature for today.
Fort Smith tied its record high of 86°.
We just heard from the tower at Drake Field, where the temperature is now 80°. This officially ties for the record high temperature in Fayetteville.
The temperature is still climbing, so, we could break the record if we can climb just one more degree later this afternoon.
The temperature in Fort Smith was at 84° as of 2:30pm. The record high there is 86°. So, a record could be tied or broken in Fort Smith later today, as well.

I keep on knocking but I can't get in

Bonus culture, Barclays and me
The LIBOR scandal struck a particular chord with me this week. Everywhere you look in modern day Britain, targets, league tables and bonuses dictate our lives. Schools, hospitals, any Public Sector activity you care to mention has succumbed. The trouble is the culture created by this regime focuses the attention and creativity of employees onto self-preservation and wealth creation. Continue reading
Why targets, tables and 5 year olds don't mix
There are many examples of targets causing the UK education system to fail, but how about a new test that has actually been designed to label two-thirds of our 5 year olds as failures? Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the "Phonics Check", due to be taken for the first time this month. Teachers believe that it is already having a negative impact on the self-esteem of pupils and is taking the fun out of learning to read. So how did it come to this? Continue reading

Race is on after Arfa kareem, Now comes Sikandar Mehmood Baloch
22 comments:
lo ker lo gal, a new entryReplyDelete
A 13 year boy become university lecturer
if he can not explain what paging and scheduling is, then i am sorry, he does not know much about operating systems, and does not have enough knowledge to build one.ReplyDelete
if he can not prove his knowledge at run time, then what he claims are just lies. it is humanely impossible to develop 7 operating systems. it is a complex program which even pros find it challenging to develop.
also not knowing how to write a simple program and giving the reason that he only works with guis, shows that he either has little or no knowledge. knowing how to program is a prerequisite. if i would have met him, then i would not have taken him seriously if he would have given these answers to me.
i would just have told him to learn the basics and to come back again when he knows how to program.
also the media has a responsibility to find out whether the person whom they are giving the spot light to is genuine or not. this just makes a mockery of us.
@Mustafa: Agreed with you but everyone is in race and want to come on media.ReplyDelete
why dont you contact SAMMA TV who gave him fame,ReplyDelete
i have posted a comment, so lets see whether they allow it to be posted or will they reject it.
@Mustafa: Let us seeReplyDelete
i tend to agree with usman to some extend. there are many more bright young student in this beautiful country. the goverment need to unleash their skills and invest education budget in small towns and village where people are eager to learn. there are already too many universities we need more and better primary, secondary and higer secondary system.ReplyDelete
media is lame, they can go to small towns if a gun shot is fired but if a student is not getting education they wont bother....Replies
i also agree with you and this is what we wantDelete
@Shahbaz: Excellent point 100% agree with youReplyDelete
I have started to wonder why these kids don't do anything except in computer sciences, like I haven't seen a kid who is intrigued by chemistry or physics or has made some innovating machine. Maybe it's just about the preferences...ReplyDeleteReplies
i dont think so it is preferences. who give preference of physics to newton??? its all God giftedDelete
Apart from preference, this is the era of computer science, just look at Iphone, why that is superior to other phones, its software. So this is normal, kids will be attracted to computer more and more with each passing day. We just need to guide them in a proper way so that they can become real scientists like Dr Shoab Ahmed and Dr Umar Saif. Learn how their projects help the societyDelete
he has uploaded his operating system on his website. im his guardian and i ahve a question u all said that dont go media and nobody is willing to give him platform. when there is no talent hunting in Pakistan than tell us what is the right way for a normal citizen of this country to follow to give a proper place for such child when no body is ready to understand him while only commenting but its not the solution . there is no institute for such type of child only high degree holder student has a charm but no compliment on him. every body degrade while pay salute to parvez and zardari like people who have fake degrees even and have no talent. but only argue on simple person but dont want to know the psycho of child i am not from this field but do you have any student of master level who knows all these he has no basic concept too much i agree with u because he never read books of computer sciences even in his school he read biology nt computer. can Pakistan give him a platform to polish him because he need the proper guidance and to show his talent??????? even a diamond a precious stone need polish when take out from the mine of coal.ReplyDelete
@Kiran: First of all, welcome to my blog.ReplyDelete
Advise of not pushing him for media, is for his advantage. He is talented, the amount of work he had done in such a small age, is great no doubt. But media fame will put him under bad pressure to perform at par in cramming system of metric and FSC. Honestly that fell extremely bad on good students who focus more on work than cram (Ratta). So keep him away from that.
Honestly COMSATS is the best place for him to study computer science and i know he will outperform inshallah, if he will be given time so again i will advise you, keep him away from media.
Let him do what he is doing,he is already polished, he need time to bring something even bigger for the society and inshallah he will bring, i can see that. He is not in the coal. Media fame can make him proud and his focus will be shifted. So do not shift his focus.
I wish him best of luck in the future as well.
hello computer people,ReplyDelete
if someone is wondering i do an on-line jobs on Google, odesk, elance,
scriptlance,and freelance. and i know what paging and scheduling is but i was confuse at that time.and i haven't given you my email address because i have 20+ email accounts in which i get more 200 emails everyday so i don't have that much time to read it.and in 107 programming languages i use 7 programming language most of the time which is C,C++,C sharp,visual basic,php,action script 3.0 event though they are a lot of interpretation between these programming languages the syntax is the same accept php and vb but alot of them is the same every programming language is made form existing one and the looping ,switching and the if statement is the same.
even though i also program in assembly and pascal but C and Shell Script is much better then these two.it depends on the programmer and the platform for which he/she choose to do programming or scripting for example if i whant to make an app for iphone then i would use objective-C but if i whant to make an app for android then i will choose java & xml but if i want to make an app that would run on all of these platform then i will use adobe flex or adobe air.and i learn to make Linux operating system from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ (); i only did lfs and blfs.but i am still learning.i am also planing to make social media website like facebook, twitter etc much more better than these but still i learn something new every day .and my website is www.vsx.netai.net (); "and every Software on this website is free as for freedom"
and my email address is email@example.com.
and by the way
nice blog but if you change the interface to bit white,and post some computer or science based blogs then it will be no 1 in google, but nice blog.
@mr smartguyReplyDelete
computer is the field of physics and chemistry it is madeup of more then 1000 different electronic parts example == "resistors",capacitor,inductor,transducer,Transistor) to make these parts chemistry is used and to calculate the voltage and current mathmatics is used.
@Sikvsx: Its nice that you give your point of view. My best wishes are with you. I hope that you will carry on with your hard work and dedication which i have seen in very very few people.ReplyDelete
By the way, my advise will remain the same and it is in your benefit. Instead of going to media, go for research publications, the dedication you have inshallah with in years your research which you have done will get more weight, you will get more grip and many many scholarships.
And one more advise, if you really don't want to waste time and really want to work on something that can help the society with your skills, go to CASE Islamabad and meet Dr Shoab Ahmed or go to Lahore and try to meet Dr Ummar Saif. Both are real scientists and their works are extra-ordinary. I hope you will get the real project of your life where not only you will be able to prove your skills but also that work will help the society. Project like facebook will now not attract many others because that is already in use, so even if you will be able to make them, your precious time will go waste. So meet them and ask them to give you ideas for projects
Thank u so much sir for advising sikander. i told him about your comments becaue if someone wants to direct contact TO him OR want to know i dont mind but to watch him is my duty as his aunt and hope so u further encourage him n guide him to choose a right way for his future career. Inshallah try to meet Dr shoab and Dr ummar. God bless u.ReplyDelete
I do agree with Usman Shahid in the direction he is trying to guide this young fellow, Sikandar Mehmood.ReplyDelete
Ultimate aim of any such promising talent must not be to secure spotlight early in his life or career, without having attention on not losing the right direction. Even if the goal has to be self-centered, first and foremost target should be to achieve excellence and to pursue opportunities for that; fame, wealth and all other fortunes will follow by themselves.
Certifications hold no value in real world. True achievement would be far above than that. Dr Shoab Ahmed Khan (CASE), Dr Umar Saif (LUMS) and Dr Abdus Salam (late) would be real models to follow. Sikandar's guardians should go through their stories to seek inspirations for their young talent.
[A comment on an individual case, Arfa Kareem] Having said all above, I find it hard to agree that particularly Arfa collapsed due to extraordinary burden of expectations or ambitions that she had to cope with. Personally, I have known her and her family since 2005 and we have been together at a number of occasions. She truly was a gifted being who was blessed by Almighty as well to get recognitions at highest levels while she was still in the bud. May she rest in peace.
Please add Dr Atta ur Rahman to your list. Sikandar's guardian can also contact him and seek his advice on how to plan on his grooming. Good luck!ReplyDelete
@khalil: Yup Dr Atta as well.ReplyDelete
@khalil: May her soul rest in piece. My advise is for general students. How she would have died, Allah knows the better. But i don't want that race for becoming youngest certified child should start just like race of getting more and more marks in matric or fsc. But unfortunately media has started this race and now everyone is trying to be part of that.ReplyDelete
This is not good for students overall.
