Teacher saves 70 kids, loses family

The flash floods in Barmer have
left the heart of the Thar desert devastated, but even as the flood
fury swirled around Malwa village on the Indo-Pak border, a Madrasa
teacher did something that a few could have imagined doing.

Shaukat risked his life to save 70 children at the Madrasa but ironically he couldn’t save his own family.

Shaukat has now resigned himself to fate however. ” Whatever has happened is Allah’s wish,” says he.

Nonetheless, this doesn’t seem a
convincing enough reason for watching your entire family being swept
away in the Rajasthan floods, especially when the 25 year old cleric
saved the lives of many children in the Madrasa he teaches at.

But Shaukat has no regrets. “I believe it was my duty to save them,” he says.

As the flood waters started rising in
Malwa, Shaukat took the children to the roof of the village mosque.
They stayed there for 26 hours, until the Army airlifted them. For the
people of Malwa, Shaukat is a saviour.

Says Shaukat’s student Abdul Ali, “We
thank him for saving us though unfortunatey it had to come at the cost
of him losing his family.”

As Malwa mourns the loss of 39 lives in
the flood, Shaukat’s story symbolises that it hope still floats and
that there is a spirit of survival and sacrifice in the people.

How to interact with your cPanel / WHM Server…

Ever wanted to know how to create accounts in PHP without messing around in WHM…?

Start off by using the line:

1: #!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php

 This MUST be the first line in your page otherwise it wont be able to interact with cpanel…

 Now lets gather the cpanel::accounting module…

2: <?php
3: require ‘/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc’;
4: ?>

Start sending the rest of your output and your page design…

lets say you want to list the accounts on your server…
so you want to create a foreach loop with the results from your request… and contain the results within a table… as in:

5:  <?php
6:  $lres = listaccts ( "localhost" , "WHMUsername" , "WHM Hash code" , "0" );
7:  echo "<table border=\"1\">";
8:  echo "<tr><th>Domain</th><th>Package</th></tr>";
9:  foreach ( $lres as $name => $value )
10:{
11:    echo "<tr><td class=\"here\">$value[0]</td><td class=\"here\">$value[1]</td></tr>";
12:}
13:echo "</table>";

Then upload it… and run it… and it should output all acounts created by that user…

RIP to Pluto

Leading astronomers on Thursday approved historic new guidelines under which distant Pluto is no longer defined as a planet.

After a tumultuous week of clashing over
the essence of the cosmos, the International Asronomical Union stripped
Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.

It is the first time that scientists have had a formal definition of what is - and is not - a planet.

Thursday’s decision by the prestigious
international group spells out the basic tests that celestial objects
will have to meet before they can be considered for admission to the
elite cosmic club.

For now, membership will be restricted to
the eight “classical” planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Much-maligned Pluto doesn’t make the grade
under the new rules for a planet: “a celestial body that is in orbit
around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome
rigid body forces so that it assumes a…nearly round shape, and has
cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.”

Pluto is automatically disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune’s.

Instead, it will be reclassed in a new category of “dwarf planets,” similar to what have long been termed “minor planets.”

The definition also lays out a third class
of lesser objects that orbit the sun - “small solar system bodies,” a
term that will apply to numerous asteroids, comets and other natural
satellites.

Raksha Bandhan

Hello all,
    Today, is Rakshabandhan, as celebrated by Indians.
Name sounds funny? Well, “raksha” means security/rescue and “bandhan”
means binding. In short, it means binding love, and brotherhood.

   
On raksha-bandhan, a girl ties a “rakhi” on a boy’s hand. The boy gives a sweet to the girl. Thus, the boy
becomes the girl’s brother, signifying love, and binding a
relationship. This ingenious way of spreading peace was developed right
from the Vedic ages.

Raksha Bandhan is primarily a North Indian festival kindling the deepest
emotions of love and affection amongst the siblings. Just like all Indian
festivals, this is also celebrated with lots of verve.

The sister ties the rakhi on the brother’s wrist and both pray for each
others’ well being followed by a pledge from the brother to take care of his
sister under all circumstances. The brother then usually gifts something to
the sister to mark the occasion. Celebrated enveloped in the festivities.
The mirth that surrounds the festival is unsurpassed. Amidst the merriment
the rituals are also followed with great devotion.

The rakhis and the sweets are bought and prepared generally before the
Purnima. As per the tradition the family members get ready for the rituals
early. They take a bath to purify mind and body before starting any
preparations. The sisters prepare the thali for the poojan. It contains the
rakhi threads, kumkum powder, rice grains, diya (an earthen or a metal lamp
used for worshiping), agarbattis (incense sticks) and sweets.

First of all the offerings are made to the deities of the family. The
sister then performs the arti of the brother and ties the rakhi. She then
Tilaks (puts kumkum powder on the forehead) him and offers sweets. While
performing the rituals the Sister chants

“Suraj shakhan chhodian, Mooli chhodia beej
Behen ne rakhi bandhi / Bhai tu chir jug jee”,

Meaning “The sun radiates its sunlight, the radish spreads its
seeds,
I tie the rakhi to you O brother and wish that may you live long.”

After her prayer for a long life for her brother, she says that she is
tying the ever-protective Raksha to her brother chanting:

“Yena baddho Balee raajaa daanavendro
mahaabalah
tena twaam anubadhnaami rakshe maa chala maa chala”

Meaning ,” I tie you the rakhi that was tied to king Bali, the king
of Demons,
O Rakhi I pray that you never falter in protecting your devotee.

The brother in turn blesses the sister and promises to protect her from the
evils of the world. He gifts something to her as a token of his love and
affection. The rituals may differ a little from region to region but
generally carry the same aura.

    Raksha Bandhan has established its niche in India as the first of all peace programmes. Incorporating love, family, rituals, God, and peace, this festival stands as a day of celebration, and peaceful reconcilation. It has also become a means of cementing brother-sister relationships, or rather teenage faith relationships, thus making itself a means of adorable communication.

    Now, let me wish each and every one of you, a happy Raksha Bandhan… :) Cheerio…

In Pakistan, beggars earn lakhs

Beggars in Pakistan earn more than management graduates, if an investigation by a leading Pakistani daily is to be believed.

According to the Daily Times,
beggars in posh localities earn up to Rs 4,000 per day or a whopping Rs
1,20,000/- per month, while those in not so posh localities earn up to
Rs 2,500 per day.

Most often beggars portray themselves as
maimed for earning public sympathy, even though they may be hale and
hearty. The same beggar without an arm could be seen few days later
without a leg too, which almost always was concealed to give the look
that the beggar had lost a leg as well, the paper said.

Investigations revealed that many had taken to this profession because of unemployment and inflation.

A 19-year-old boy at Charing Cross in
Lahore said he pretended to be crippled, because people did not give
alms to healthy beggars.

“Almost everybody had a soft corner for
cripple people. I know what I am doing is wrong, but you forget
everything if you are about to faint from hunger. My parents were poor
and they couldn’t educate me, and I cannot get a job,” he said.

Another 35-year-old beggar said: “I worked
at a kiln for 12 hours a day in Kasur and earned Rs 2,000 a month in
this hot season. I decided to come to Lahore for a better job, but I
found a job for two days a week. I had to eat from Data Gunj Buksh’s
shrine. I met some people like me who told me that I should give
begging a try. I pretended to be paralysed and started begging, and to
my surprise I found that I could earn a lot”.

Police officials are however, of the
opinion that the beggars one comes across at traffic signals and street
crossings are the small fries of a much bigger begging syndicate.

In many cases the syndicate crippled the
beggars by beating them mercilessly and pushed them into begging. In
other cases, beggars had to pay a hefty sum to the men who ran the
syndicate.

More often than not, these groups lured poor people from rural areas into begging by offering them shelter, said the official.
