'Human-to-human' bird flu fears |
|
 |
The
father of a Chinese man who died of bird flu
has also been infected with the virus,
raising fear of human-to-human transmission.
The World Health Organization said it could
not rule out the possibility that the H5N1
virus had spread from the son to the father.
For the most part, humans have caught the
virus from sick birds.
Scientists fear if the virus gains the
ability to pass easily between humans, tens
of millions of people could die.
A statement on the Chinese ministry's
website said a 52-year-old man in eastern
Jiangsu province identified only by his
surname, Lu, has been confirmed with the
virus, just days after his 24-year-old son
succumbed to it on 2 December.
The father began presenting symptoms on
Monday and was confirmed as having the virus
on Wednesday. He is being monitored in
hospital.
It is also possible that both men were
infected by the same source, or that they
were infected separately from different
sources.
Since the H5N1 virus emerged in South East
Asia in late 2003, it has claimed some 200
lives around the world. Indonesia has been
hardest hit, with more than 90 deaths.
Of the 26 cases confirmed to date in China,
17 have been fatal.
Suspected human-to-human transmission of
H5N1 has been reported in Hong Kong, Vietnam
and Indonesia, but none of the cases have
been proven.

Change Guide to Action
In English (PDF, 2.2 MB)
You may have heard people
talking about how the weather is very
different today than it was ten years ago.
You may have noticed changes in the weather
yourself. The earth's climate has changed
many times over millions of years, sometimes
slowly, sometimes very quickly. What makes
climate change different today?
The world's scientists agree; human activity
- mainly greenhouse gas emissions from the
burning of fossil fuels for energy - is now
causing the Earth's climate to change
incredibly fast, taking us far outside
natural ranges and towards 'tipping points'
beyond which very large-scale consequences
may be irreversible. The latest research
from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), which was awarded a Nobel
Peace Prize for its work, has found that the
impacts of climate change are already being
felt around the world. The impacts are
overwhelmingly negative and will affect poor
and vulnerable communities first and
hardest. These communities are often the
least responsible for causing the problem
and have the fewest resources to adapt to
the rapid changes.
Present day warming has caused a broad range
of negative consequences and will continue
to create far more unless stopped. The most
direct effects of current climate change are
on temperature and precipitation patterns.
As of 2006, all eight of the hottest years
ever recorded were from the last 10 years.
As this warming continues, established
weather systems will shift and become more
extreme, resulting in both more droughts and
floods. As sea surface temperature rises,
weather-disturbing El Nińo events will
become more frequent and powerful.
Meanwhile, larger, more severe hurricanes,
which feed on the heat of ocean waters, will
threaten coasts. This trend may already be
visible: the last two decades have seen a
sharp increase both in the frequency and
power of hurricanes.
Shifts in temperature and precipitation will
be a shock to fragile ecosystems which
depend on specific climatic conditions. Many
species will be unable to adapt as fast as
their environment changes and face sharply
reduced numbers or extinction. Scientists
estimate that a warming of just 2˚C will put
as many as 30% of the world's species at
risk of extinction.
Plants and animals aren’t the only ones
feeling the pressure of changing ecosystems.
Many regions will face severe water
shortages in a warmer world, creating the
potential for conflict. It is believed that
the genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region is at
least in part a response to water shortages
resulting from global warming.
Climate change is arguably the greatest
danger facing humanity in the years ahead.
In many ways, its effects are already being
felt and it is too late to prevent warming
entirely. However, the situation is not
without hope. Though urgent action is
needed, through the combined efforts of
governments, businesses, scientists, and
individuals, it is still possible to stop
even greater tragedies and protect the
health of our planet for future generations.
To learn more about climate change and how
youth can take action, check out our Climate
Change Youth Guide to Action, available on
this page!! Appendix B features a very
useful Guide to Learning More that will help
you build your knowledge on any of the many
complicated issues!

 Leadership
Leadership knows no age Nor is it
limited by race. It is conspicuous in its
presence or absence from nations capitals to
neighborhood playgrounds. You can see it in a
young athlete's quick feet. You can hear it in a
grandfather's slow story. Leadership can be an
hour of triumph Or a moment of prayer. It is
saying "Yes" to the right kind of responsibility
and saying "No" to the wrong kind of temptation.
Leadership does not gloat in victory nor can it
ever be vanquished. For it is an elegance of
conduct which transcends either! |

How do viruses, worms, and Trojan horses get onto my
computer? |
These days, computers usually get infected
through email attachments, Internet downloads, instant
message attachments, and other types of network based file
exchange. Increasingly, malicious code can be triggered
simply by visiting a website or viewing a message in the
preview pane of your email program. You should also be
cautious whenever you insert or attach anything that can
copy files to your computer, such as a CD, DVD, or portable
disk drive. You should have good anti-virus and firewall
software to minimize your risk.

One God - One People |

Hajj is a great
universalizer. Each year, it leaves us with one memorable
message. We, the Muslims, are one people, one Nation, one
Group, one Party, and one UMMAH. With Hajj, the infinite
wisdom of Allah made it impossible for his believers to be
segregated into nations, languages, regions and colors. The
Hajj says, simply put, there is no American version of
Islam, just as there are no Saudi or Egyptian versions. The
Hajj institutes and realizes the truthful statement of our
Merciful Lord: “Indeed this UMMAH of yours is one UMMAH and
I am your Lord, so worship me.” [21:92]

Dear Sirs, No doubt, ContactPakistan is serving the
community honestly and very effectively, I
sincerely thank the whole team of ContactPakistan
for its sincere efforts and welfare activities. You
have many sections where the experts are helping the
community by their precious advice and/or by other
means. I have another idea!
It happens every year that we suddenly get a call
from Pakistan that a Pilgrim is coming and we have
to see him. We, then, call Pakistan House at Makkah,
whose telephone lines are often busy, to find out
the whereabouts of the Pilgrim. Sometimes, due to
lack of information, it takes much time to locate
the Pilgrims. So wouldn’t it be a nice idea to
build a Pilgrims Data-Bank website to locate the
Pakistani Pilgrims? I believe, you have excellent
web designers and you do have contacts with the
Pakistani Consulate and other Govt. Departments in
Pakistan. So why not get the data from the
concerned authorities and put it on the web so
anyone who is trying hard to trace his Hajjies can
easily get the required information. Many countries
have already posted data-bank of their pilgrims on
the web and are maintaining regularly. I am sure it
is not a difficult task for you and your team and
hope that you will consider my suggestion. I am not
a web designer, but if I could be of help to you in
any ways, I offer my services whether it is a
financial support, inputting the data, or updating
the pilgrims information etc. Please let me know if
the above is implement able and how can I be of help
to you. I know it is too late, for this year, but
“something is better than nothing”. Maybe we can
start this year with as much information as possible
and implement it in its full swing for the next
Hajj. May Almighty Allah reward you and your team
for the welfare works! Best regards,
Islamuddin Omer, Jeddah.
Dear
Bhai,
JazakAllah Khair for coming up with this
excellent idea. Thank you sir!
We
gave some thoughts to your idea and found that
data mining will be quite a big job. At the same
time technicality and integration of the date
involved in such project requires few months of
planning. Manual entry of each Haji arriving on
an online web base database is out of question
considering the workload all the Govt. staff
would have during the season. The best shot is
to find if there is any Govt. web site that
offers such service to public. I am copying this
mail to brother Fahad who is our contact at
Jeddah consulate. He may have some idea?
Over
to you Fahad Bhai.
Regards

I want
to recycle my old cell phone, but I'm not sure how. Any
advice? |
Recycling an unused mobile phone is a great
idea. Some great resources include web sites like
recyclemycellphone.org, recycleforbreastcancer.org and
charitablerecycling.com. By recycling, you are protecting
the environment (the phone won’t end up in a landfill), plus
you have an opportunity to support a charity of your choice.
Cell phone recycle programs usually provide a checklist of
steps to take before donating an old mobile phone, including
disconnecting your service and manually erasing your address
book.

Sacrifice
Aassalam-O-Aliakum!
Dear friends, Eid-ul-Azha is just around the corner. The
essence of this Eid is the spirit of sacrifice. Hazrat
Ibrahim and Hazrat Ismail readily bowed their head to
Allah's commandment to give sacrifice demanded of them.
In the materialistic world of today, the spirit of sacrifice
is diminishing. People are becoming more and more
self-centered and selfish. According to the saying of Holy
Prophet, a true Muslim is one who likes the same for his
fellow brother that he likes for himself. When our
grandparents tell us about their times, we realize that
earlier people used to be generous and full of dignity. They
would not hesitate in providing help to anyone, anywhere.
But the fast emerging culture of chasing the materialistic
standards has lessened these good characteristics that were
earlier emblems of humans.
If your car breaks down on a busy road, hardly anyone will
stop by to help you. If someone does stop, it comes as a
surprise for us and it is mentioned as something noteworthy.
We need to promote the culture where being generous and
helpful is not something rare. Helping one another should
not come as a surprise. We must never turn a deaf ear to
those who are truly in need. To reform the society, we first
need to reform our self. We shall be mindful of Allah, by
following the Quran and Sunnah. A good Muslim fulfills the
rights of Allah and the rights of His creation.
Thousands of people are dying because they do not have food
to eat, or medicines to buy for themselves. And there are a
bunch of people who have so much that they lavishly spend on
designer items and other luxuries. If only, the rich people
could cut down some of their lavish expenditures and help a
poor with the saved money. The satisfaction one gets from
helping the poor and needy is much more and far greater than
the satisfaction of buying an expensive designer stuff. I
remember munching my favorite chicken burger once, while I
was waiting for the traffic signal to turn green. There I
saw a beggar child looking longingly at me. I just could not
eat anymore and handed the burger to the poor child. I still
smile and feel happy when I recall the wide smile that
brightened the poor boy's face.
Though in this hi-tech era, people have got busy and appear
to be self-centered, but surely goodness still exists in
people. Rarely but surely do we witness such incidents that
reflect that deep down humanity with all its righteousness
still exists and hence we can always hope for things to
become better.
Till next time, AllahHafiz. And Eid Mubark.
Ms. Amna
