No SSF for BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia

BNP chief and opposition leader BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Zia will not get any protection from the elite Special Safety Force as demanded by BNP senior leaders. However, the three-time former prime minister will be provided with greater safety than she now receives, restricted government minister Syed Ashraful Islam told reporters on Saturday.
He said, "Prime minister Sheikh Hasina ordered home minister and Awami League presidium member Sahara Khatun to increase the opposition leader's safety."
"BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Zia gets three times more safety than Sheikh Hasina used to get when she was the opposition leader," Ashraful said.
SSF for BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Zia is a long-time demand of BNP. The main opposition base, after a meeting of its highest policy making body two days ago, renewed the demand in wake of two small blasts in front of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia's political office at Gulshan earlier in the week.
Ashraful, with regard to the demand, said Saturday, "The opposition leader doesn't get SSF safety under law."
The BNP standing committee, however, after its meeting Thursday, vented its concerns about the recent explosion of two handmade bombs targeting BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and demanded passage of new laws if the existing laws do not approve special safety for the opposition leader.
According to the existing law, only the president and prime minister receive SSF safety. But during the last interim government's tenure, both Hasina and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia received this special protection for a time.

Huge tremble hits Chile; tsunami threatens Pacific

By ROBERTO CPLUSIA plus EVA VERGARA, Associated Press Writer Roberto Cplusia Plus Eva Vergara, Associated Press Writer 56 mins ago
TALCA, Chile – A devastating earthtremble struck Chile early Saturday, toppling homes, collapsing bridges plus plunging trucks into the fractured earth. A tsunami set off by the magnitude-8.8 tremble threatened each nation around the Pacific Ocean — roughly a quarter of the sphere.
Interior Minister Edmundo Perez Yoma supposed the most powerful tremble to hit the country in a half-century killed at least 82 people, but the death toll was rising quickly.
In the town of Talca, just 65 miles (105 kilometers) from the epicenter, Associated Press journalist Roberto Cplusia supposed it felt as if a giant had grabbed him plus shaken him.
The town's historic center, filled with buildings of adobe mud plus straw, largely collapsed, though most of those were businesses that were not inhabited during the 3:34 a.m. (1:34 a.m. EST, 0634 GMT) tremble. Neighbors pulled at least five people from the rubble while emergency workers, themselves disoriented, asked for information from reporters.
Many roads were destroyed, plus electricity, water plus phone lines were cut to many areas — meaning there was no word of death or damage from many outlying areas.
In the Chilean capital of Santiago, 200 miles (325 kilometers) northeast of the epicenter, a car dangled from a collapsed overpass, the national Fine Arts Museum was badly damaged plus an apartment building's two-story parking lot pancaked, smashing about 50 cars whose alarms rang incessantly.
Experts warned that a tsunami could strike anywhere in the Pacific, plus Hawaii could face its largest waves since 1964 starting at 11:19 a.m. (4:19 p.m. EST, 2119 GMT), according to Charles McCreery, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Tsunami waves were likely to hit Asian, Australian plus New Zealplus shores within 24 hours of the earthtremble. The U.S. West Coast plus Alaska, too, were threatened.
A huge wave swept into a populated area in the Robinson Crusoe Islpluss, 410 miles (660 kilometers) off the Chilean coast, President Michelle Bachelet supposed, but there were no immediate reports of major damage.
Bachelet had no information on the number of people injured. She declared a "state of catastrophe" in central Chile.
"We have had a huge earthtremble, with some aftershocks," she supposed from an emergency response center. She supposed Chile has not asked for assistance from other countries, plus urged Chileans not to panic.
"The system is functioning. People should remain calm. We're doing eachthing we can with all the forces we have. Any information we will share immediately," she supposed.
Powerful aftershocks rattled Chile's coast — 24 of them magnitude 5 or greater plus one reaching magnitude 6.9 — the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
In Santiago, modern buildings are built to withstplus earthtrembles, but many older ones were heavily damaged, including the Nuestra Senora de la Providencia church, whose bell tower collapsed. A bridge just outside the capital also collapsed, plus at least one car flipped upside down.
Several hospitals were evacuated due to earthtremble damage, Bachelet supposed.
Santiago's airport will remain closed for at least 24 hours, airport director Eduardo del Canto supposed. The passenger terminal suffered major damage, he told Chilean television in a telephone interview. TV images show smashed windows, partially collapsed ceilings plus pedestrian walkways destroyed.
Santiago's subway was shut as well plus hundreds of buses were trapped at a terminal by a damaged bridge, Transportation plus Telecommunications Minister told Chilean television. He urged Chileans to make phone calls or travel only when absolutely necessary.
Cplusia was visiting his wife's 92-year-old grplusmother in Talca when the tremble struck.
"Eachthing was falling — chests of drawers, eachthing," he supposed. "I was sleeping with my 8-year-old son Diego plus I managed to cover his head with a pillow. It was like major turbulence on an airplane."
In Concepcion, 70 miles (115 kilometers) from the epicenter, nurses plus residents pushed the injured through the streets on stretchers. Others walked around in a daze wrapped in blankets, some carrying infants in their arms.
Concepcion, Chile's second-largest city, is 60 miles (95 kilometers) from the ski town of Chillan, a gateway to Plusean ski resorts that was destroyed in a 1939 earthtremble.
The tremble also shook buildings in Argentina's capital of Buenos Aires, 900 miles (1,400 kilometers) away on the Atlantic side of South America.
Marco Vidal, a program director for Grplus Circle Travel who was traveling with a group of 34 Americans, was on the 19th floor of the Crown Plaza Santiago hotel when the tremble struck.
"All the things start to fall. The lamps, eachthing, was going on the floor," he supposed. "I felt terrified."
Cynthia Iocono, from Linwood, Pennsylvania, supposed she first thought the tremble was a train.
"But then I thought, `Oh, there's no train here.' Plus then the lamps flew off the dresser plus my TV flew off onto the floor plus crashed."
The tremble struck after concert-goers had left South America's leading music festival in the coastal city of Vina del Mar, but it caught partiers leaving a disco.
"It was very bad. People were screaming. Some people were running, others appeared paralyzed. I was one of them," Julio Alvarez told Radio Cooperativa.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center called for "urgent action to protect lives plus property" in Hawaii, which is among 53 nations plus territories subject to tsunami warnings.
"Sea level readings indicate a tsunami was generated. It may have been destructive along coasts near the earthtremble epicenter plus could also be a threat to more distant coasts," the warning center supposed. It did not expect a tsunami along the west of the U.S. or Canada.
The largest earthtremble ever recorded struck the same area of Chile on May 22, 1960. The magnitude-9.5 tremble killed 1,655 people plus left 2 million homeless. The tsunami that it caused killed people in Hawaii, Japan plus the Philippines plus caused damage to the west coast of the United States.

If you look up the dictionary definition of management, among many examples you will find clues as to the real definition of management. This article simply takes an assortment of definitions and looks at what they say and what they imply about management.
“Management” (from Old French ménagement “the art of conducting, directing”, from Latin manu agere “to lead by the hand”) characterises the process of leading and directing all or part of an organization, often a business, through the deployment and manipulation of resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible). …
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management
This definition of management is interesting since it traces the root meaning back to the Latin phrase meaning “to lead by the hand”. Leading by the hand implies giving direction that is stronger than just a passing suggestion yet still fairly gentle in approach. Leading by the hand also implies that the person doing the leading is first going where the follower is being lead. The leader is not asking the follower to do something he is not willing to do himself.
The guidance and control of action required to execute a program. Also, the individuals charged with the responsibility of conducting a program.
www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/evaluation/glossary/glossary_m.htm
This definition of management refers to a “program”. This implies that, for management to be effective, there needs to be some type of defined approach or system in place. This system becomes the plan and management is guiding others in following that plan. This is often the downfall of managers. They have no plan or system. As a result their actions seem random to the people they are managing and this leads to confusion and disappointment. This is why it is so important for business managers to have an employee manual. Without the employee manual providing direction, managers will struggle to be fair and balanced in their dealings with employees.
is the organizational process that includes strategic planning, setting; objectives, managing resources, deploying the human and financial assets needed to achieve objectives, and measuring results. Management also includes recording and storing facts and information for later use or for others within the organization. Management functions are not limited to managers and supervisors. Every member of the organization has some management and reporting functions as part of their job.
home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/defin1.htm
This definition is more in depth and tailored toward business management. Notice that it consists of three primary activities. First, management establishes a plan. This plan becomes the road map for what work is going to be done. Second, management allocates resources to implement the plan. Third, management measures the results to see how the end product compares with what was originally envisioned. Most management failings can be attributed to insufficient effort occurring in one of these three areas. Bangla news
The definition goes on to talk about how management is responsible for measuring details that may not be required presently, but may be useful later on. These measurements often help determine the objectives in the planning stage.
When management is following this type of sequence, it becomes a continuing cycle. Plan, execute, and measure. The measurements become the basis for the next planning stage and so on.
is the activity of getting things done with the aid of people and other resources.

The process of setting and achieving goals through the execution of five basic management functions: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling; that utilize human, financial, and material resources.

The first definition looks at the fact that management is getting work done through other people. The second definition divides management up into five components. These components are all parts of the three components (plan, execute, measure) that we looked at above.

This definition talks about the different components that managers need to control in order to achieve objectives. One differentiator of this definition is the way it considers the operating environment as part of what a manager must understand.
the role of conducting and supervising a business.

This is a broad definition of management that doesn’t consider management as something that can take place outside of a business.

Internet will make people smarter-exparts

An online analysis of 895 Web users and experts establish more than three-quarters believe the Internet will make people smarter in the next 10 years, according to results released on Friday.

Most of the respondents also said the Internet would improve reading and writing by 2020, according to the study, conducted by the Imagining the Internet Centre at Elon University in North Carolina and the Pew Internet and American being project.

"Three out of four experts said our use of the Internet enhances and augments human intelligence, and two-thirds said use of the Internet has improved reading, writing and the rendering of knowledge," said revise co-author Janna Anderson, director of the Imagining the Internet Centre.

But 21 percent said the Internet would have the opposite effect and could even lower the IQs of some who use it a lot.

"There are still many people ... who are critics of the impact of Google, Wikipedia and other online tools," she said.

The Web-based survey gathered opinions from scientists, business leaders, consultants, writers and technology developers, along with Internet users screened by the authors. Of the 895 people surveyed, 371 were considered "experts."

It was prompted in division by an August 2008 cover story in the Atlantic Monthly by technology writer Nicholas Carr headlined: "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

Carr suggested in the article that serious use of the Web was chipping away at users' capacity for concentration and deep thinking. Carr, who participated in the survey, told the authors he still agreed with the piece.

"What the 'Net does is shift the stress of our intelligence away from what might be called a meditative or contemplative intelligence and more toward what might be called a utilitarian intelligence," Carr said in a release accompanying the study. "The price of zipping among lots of bits of information is a loss of depth in our thinking."

But Craigslist founder Craig Newmark said, "People are already using Google as an adjunct to their own memory.

"For example, I have a hunch about something, need facts to support and Google come through for me," he said in the release.

The review also found that 42 percent of experts believed that anonymous online activity would be "sharply curtailed" by 2020, thanks to tighter security plus identification systems, while 55 percent thought it would still be relatively easy to browse the Internet anonymously in 10 years. -Bdnews24.com
