Manipulation of stocks with SMS now a cyber crime

According to Daily Times – Manipulation of the stock exchange market through short messaging services (SMS) from mobile phones will be treated as a cyber crime, the federal government decided on Sunday.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will deal with creating disinformation about the stock markets through SMS. The government has also directed the agency to take immediate notice of such cases in future.

The decision to bring the practice under the agency’s supervision comes in the backdrop of a major stock market decline last week, which saw small investors, the most affected by the slide, demonstrating violently outside the major exchanges at Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore.

Protesters torched car tyres and stoned doors and windows, blaming the management of failing to halt the trading despite an apparent major downward trend.

The recent sharp fall was attributed to a range of factors. Most immediate was the decision of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan to remove a 1% daily limit on how far share prices could decline, bringing it back up to 5%.

There was also a ban imposed on short selling. But political factors were also at play. Investors were also unnerved by reports that the United States was planning to strike inside Pakistan and the sight of the new coalition government falling apart. US air strikes into the Tribal Areas along the Afghan border paired with a rise in troop levels in Afghanistan’s eastern provinces heightened fears that Washington may act unilaterally against militants in Pakistan.

TUM EK GORAKH DHANDHA HO

Kabhi yehan tumhein dhoondha kabhi wahan puhancha
Tumhari Deed Ki Khatir Kahan Kahan puhancha
Ghareeb mit gaye, Pamaal ho gaye lekin
Kissi talak na tera aaj tak nishan puhancha
Ho bhi nahin aur…
Ho bhi nahin aur har jaa ho
Tum Ek Gorakh dhandha ho…

Har zarre mein kiss shaan se tu jalwa numa hai
Hairan hai magar akal ke kaisa hai tu kya hai

Tujhe der-o-haram mein mein ne dhoonda tu nahin milta
Lekin tujh ko tashreef farman apne dil me dekha hai

Dhoondhay nahin milay ho Na dhoondhay se kabhi tum
Aur phir ye tamasha hai ke jahan hum hain wahin tum ho

Jab bajud tere koi doosra maujood nahin
Phir samajh mein nahin aata tera parda karna

Haram o Dehr mein hai jalwa-e-purfan tera
Do gharon ka hai charagh purkh-e-raushan tera

Jo ulfat mein tumhari kho gaya hai
Ussi khoay huay ko kuch mila hai
Na but-khanay na kaabay mein mila hai
Magar tootay huay dil mein mila hai
Adam ban kar kahin tu chup gaya hai
Kahin tu hasst ban kar aa gaya hai
Nahin hai tu to phir inkaar kaisa
Nafi bhi tere honay ka pata hai
Mein jiss to keh raha hoon apni hasti
Agar woh tu nahin to aur kya hai
Nahin aaya khayalon mein agar tu
To phir mein kaisay samjha tu khuda hai

Hairan hoon iss baat pe tum kaun ho kya ho
Haat aao to but, haath naa aao to khuda ho

Aqal mein jo ghir gaya, la-intaha kyonkar hua
Jo samajh mein aa gaya, phir khuda kyonkar hua

Falsafi ko behas ke andar khuda milta nahin
Dor ko suljha raha hai aur sira milta nahin

Pata yun to bata dete ho sab ko la-makaan apna
Taaujub hai magar rehte ho tum tootay huay dil mein

Jab ke tujh bin nahin koi maujood
Phir ye hangama aye khuda kya hai

Chuptay nahin ho saamne aatay nahin ho tum
Jalwa dikha ke Jalwa dikhatay nahin ho tum
Dehr-o-haram ke jhagray mitatay nahin ho tum
Jo asal baat hai woh batate nahin ho tum
Hairan hoon mere dil mein samaaye ho kiss tarha
Halanke do jahan mein samaatay nahin ho tum
Yeh maabad-o-haram ye kaleesa-o-dehr kyon
Harjaai ho jabhi to batatay nahin ho tum

Dil pe hairat ne ajab rang jama rakha hai
Ek uljhi hui tasweer bana rakha hai
Kuch samajh mein nahin aata ke ye chakr kya hai
Khel kya tum ne azal se ye racha rakha hai
Rooh ko jism ke pinjray ka bana kar kaidi
Uss pe phir maut ka pehra bhi bitha rakha hai
De ke tadbeer kay panchi ko uraanein tum ne
Tam-e-takdeer mein har simt bicha rakha hai
Kar ke araaishein konain ki barson tum ne
Khatm karne ka bhi mansooba bana rakha hai
Lamaqami ka baharhal hai daawa bhi tumhein
Nahme Aqrab ka bhi paigham suna rakha hai
Yeh burai, woh bhalai, yeh jahanum, woh bahisht
Iss ulat khel mein farmao to kya rakha hai
Jurm adam ne kiya, aur saza beton ko
Adal-o-insaaf ka mayyar bhi kya rakha hai
De ke insaan ko duniya mein khalafat apni
Ek tamasha sa zamanay mein bana rakha hai
Apni pehchan ki khatir hai banaya sab ko
Sab ki nazron se magar khud ko chupa rakha hai

Nit naye naqsh banatay ho mita dete ho
Jaane kis jurm-e-tamana ki saza dete ho
Kabhi kankar ko bana dete ho heeray ki kani
Kabhi heeron ko bhi mitti mein mila dete ho
Jindagi kitnay hi murdon ko ata ki jiss ne
Woh maseeha bhi saleebon pe saja dete ho
Khwahish-e-deed jo kar baithe sar-e-toor koi
Toor hi bark-e-tajalli se jala dete ho
Naar-e-namrood mein dalwatay hu khud apna khaleel
Khud hi phir naar ko gulzaar bana dete ho
Chahe kinaan mein phainko kabhi mahe in aan
Noor yakuub ki aankhon ka bujha dete ho
Becho yusuf ko kabhi misr ke baazaaron mein
Akhir-e-kaar shah-e-misr bana dete ho
Jazb-o-masti ki jo manzil pe puhanchta hai koi
Baith kar dil mein an-al-haq ki sada dete ho
Khud hi lagwatay ho phir kufr ke fatway uss par
Khud hi mansoor ko sooli pe charha dete ho
Apni hasti bhi woh ik roz ganwa baithta hai
Apne darshan ki lagan jis ko laga dete ho
Koi raanjha jo kabhi khoj mein nilklay tumkar
Tum ussay jhang ke bele mein rula deta ho
Justajoo le ke tumhari jo chale kais koi
Uss ko majnoon kissi laila ka bana dete ho
Jot sassi ke agar mann mein tumhari jaagay
Tum usse tapte huay thal mein jala dete ho
Sohni gar tum ko mahiwal tasawwur kar le
Uss ko biphri hui lehron mein baha dete ho
Khud jo chaaho to sar-e-arsh bula kar mehboob
Ek hi raat mein mairaaj kara dete ho

Aap hi apna parda ho
Aap hi apna pardaa ho
Tum ek gorakh dhandha ho

Jo kehta hoon maana, tumhein lagta hai bura sa
Phir bhi hai mujhe tum se baharhaal gila sa
Chup chaap rahe dekthe tum Arsh-e-Bareen par
Tapte huay karbal mein Muhammad ka nawasa
Kiss tarhe pilata tha lahoo apna wafa ko
Khud teen dinon se wo agarche tha piyasa
Dushman to bahar taur thay dushman magar afsos
Tum ne bhi faraham na kiya paani zara sa
Har zulm ki taufeeq hai zalim ki wirasat
Mazloom ke hissay mein tassali na dilasa
Kal taaj saja dekha tha jiss shakhs ke sar par
Hai aaj ussi shakhs ke hathon mein hikasa
Yeh kya hai agar poochoon to kehte ho jawaban
Iss raaz se ho sakta nahin koi shanasa

Hairat ki ek duniya ho
Hairat ki ek duniya ho
Tum ek gorakh dhandha ho

Har ek jaa pe ho lekin pata nahin maaloom
Tumhara naam suna hai nishaan nahin maaloom

Dil se arman jo nikal jaaye to jugnoon ho jaye
Aur aankhon mein simat aaye to aansoo ho jaye
Japeya huu ka jo be huu kare huu mein kho kar
Uss ko sultaniyan mil jayen wo ba huu jo jaye
Baal beeka na kissi ka ho churri ke neeche
Halk-e-asghar mein kabhi teer tarazoo ho jaye

Kiss kadar be-niyaz ho tum bhi
Daastaan-e-daraaz ho tum bhi

Ni re sa
sa re ni re ma sa ni re…….

Aah-e-Tehkeek mein har gam pe uljhan dekhoon
Wohi haalat-o-khayalat mein an ban dekhoon
Ban ke reh jaata hoon tasweer pareshani ki
Ghaur se jab bhi kabhi duniya ka darpan dekhoon
Ek hi khaak pe fitrat ke tazaadat itnay
Kitnay hisson mein bata ek hi aangan dekhoon
Kahin zehmat ki sulagti hui patjhar ka samaan
Kahin rehmat ke baraste huay sawan dekhoon
Kahin phunkaarte darya, kahin khamosh pahaar
Kahin jangal, kahin sehra, kahin gulshan dekhoon
Khun rulata hai yeh takseem ka andaaz mujhe
Koi dhanwaan yehan par koi nirdhan dekhoon
Din ke haathon mein faqat ek sulagta sooraj
Raat ki maang sitaron se muzzayyan dekhoon
Kahin murjhaaye huay phool hain sacchai ke
Aur kahin jhoot ke kaanton pe bhi joban dekhoon
Shams ki kaal kahin khichti nazar aati hai
Kahin sarmad ki uttarti hui gardan dekhoon
Raat kya shai hai saweera kya hai
Yeh ujala yeh andhera kya hai
Mein bhi nayib hun tumhara akhir
Kyon yeh kehte ho ke tera kya hai

Dekhne wala tujhe kya dekhta
Tu ne har har samt se parda kiya

Masjid Mandir…
Masjid, Mandir, Yeh Maikhane
Koi yeh maane, koi woh maane
Masjid, Mandir, Yeh Maikhane
Koi yeh maane, koi woh maane
Sab tere hain jaana aashanay
Koi yeh maane, koi woh maane
Ek honay ka tere kaayil hai
Inkaar pe koi maayil hai
Asleeyat lekin tu jaane
Koi Yeh maanay koi woh maane
Ek khalk mein shamil karta hai
Ek sab se akela rehta hai
Hain dono teray mastaanay
Koi yeh maanay koi woh maane
sab hain jab aashiq tumhare naam ke
kyon yeh jhagre hain raheem-o-raam ke

Dehr mein tu, Haram mein tu
Dehr mein tu, Haram mein tu
Arsh pe tu, jameen pe tu
Dehr mein tu, Haram mein tu
Arsh pe tu, jameen pe tu
Jiss ki puhanch jahan talak
Uss ke liye wahin pe tu

Har ek rang mein yakta ho
Tum ek gorakh dhandha ho

Markaz-e-Justajoo, Alam-e-rang-o-boo
Dam badam jalwagar tu hi tu chaar soo
Hoo ke mahol mein, kuch nahin fi-la-hoo
Tum buhat dil ruba, Tum buhat khubaroo
Aarsh ki azmatein, Farsh ki abroo
Tum ho konain ka, hasil-e-arzoo
Aankh ne kar liya aansoo-on se wazoo
Ab to kar do ata deed ka ek sudoo
Aao parde se tum aankh ke rubaroo
Chund lamhe milan, do ghari guftagoo
Naaz jabta phiray, jabaja koo-ba-koo
Wahda-hoo Wahda-hoo

How long will an ERP project take?

Companies that install ERP do not have an easy time of it. Don’t be fooled when ERP vendors tell you about a three or six month average implementation time. Those short (that’s right, six months is short) implementations all have a catch of one kind or another: The company was small, or the implementation was limited to a small area of the company, or the company used only the financial pieces of the ERP system (in which case the ERP system is nothing more than a very expensive accounting system). To do ERP right, the ways you do business will need to change and the ways people do their jobs will need to change too. And that kind of change doesn’t come without pain. Unless, of course, your ways of doing business are working extremely well (orders all shipped on time, productivity higher than all your competitors, customers completely satisfied), in which case there is no reason to even consider ERP.

The important thing is not to focus on how long it will take—real transformational ERP efforts usually run between one and three years, on average—but rather to understand why you need it and how you will use it to improve your business.

The Doctrine of Necessity

by Mr.  Saleem Rizvi (Posted on website related to PAKISTAN)  .
No matter how powerful and compelling the arguments may be, in the face of a predetermined and/or preconcluded decision, the outcome would remain the same; the outrageous slaughter of justice at the hands of its guardians. The notion of letting the strongest decide who shall survive raises many problems. Instead of using legal jargon, I thought a literary touch to this discussion may help enlighten souls better. The moral of the story implicitly covers the ongoing off-going deal making discussions between Benazir and Musharraf and its possible potential outcome. Consider the treatment of the problem offered by Don Marquis in Archy and Mehitabel 40-42 (1973):

A Spider and a Fly
I heard a spider and a fly arguing.
“wait” said the fly “do not eat me. I serve a great purpose in the world”
“you will have to show me” said the spider

“I scurry around gutters and sewers and garbage cans, said the fly and gather up the germs of typhoid influenza and pneumonia on my feet and wings then I carry these germs into the household of men and give them diseases all the people who have lived the right sort of life recover from the diseases and the old soaks who have weakened their systems with liquor and iniquity succumb it is my mission to help rid the world of these wicked persons I am a vessel of righteousness scattering seeds of justice and serving the noblest uses.”

“It is true” said the spider, “you are more useful in a plodding material sort of way than i am but I do not serve the utilitarian deities. I serve the Gods of beauty. Look at the gossamer webs. I weave they float in the sun like filaments of song if you get what i mean. I do not work at anything. I play all the time. I am busy with the stuff of enchantment and the materials of fairyland. My works transcend utility. I am the artist a Creator and a demi God. It is ridiculous to suppose that I should be denied the food I need in order to continue to create beauty. I tell you plainly mister fly it is all damned nonsense for that food to rear up on its hind legs and say it should not be eaten.”

“You have convinced me” said the fly, “Say no more” and shutting all his eyes he prepared himself of dinner and yet he said “I could have made out a case for myself too if I had had a better line of talk.”

“Of course you could have” said the spider clutching a sirloin from him, “but the end would have been just the same if neither of us had spoken at all.”

I am afraid that what the spider said is true and it gives me to think furiously upon the futility of literature.

Go Aish Adventure Park

Karachi, one of the world’s most happening metropolitan cities, with a teeming population of around 20 million, is still devoid of the one big factor, or rather desperately lacks in one vital area which makes life not only better life but also provides respite to the living from stress, strains and the rigors of busy living entertainment.

Go Aish is a company which specializes in providing quality and exceptional amusement & adventure services. Go Aish has a working collaboration with Lanove Centrum (Project Outdoors), a world renowned Czech Republic based company specializing in providing amusement/adventure services around all of Europe.

Go Aish has established an adventure park which is not only the first of its kind within our metropolis but the first of its nature in the Middle East & Sub-Continent. Keeping in view of exceptional working standards and required safety measures, proficient experts were hired from abroad for the construction of this project. Furthermore, upon completion an International Certificate of Standard has been provided for each activity installed at this project.

top priority for U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, after the war on terrorism, is improving protections for children online.

Kevin Poulsen, an editor at Wired News, described a project he undertook to match names in the Federal government’s list of convicted sex offenders with names of people with MySpace pages. His careful, multi-month effort identified over 700 matches, some of whom were and calling them obviously sexual names. Poulsen was critical of MySpace for only now attempting similar efforts on its own. He believes the service could do dramatically more to police its content using software tools.

The Net and children: still scary

NEW YORK (Fortune) — Despite all its virtues, the Internet has created a raft of new threats to our children. Sexual predators and abusive pedophiles are newly empowered by the Net, and neither parents nor society have yet figured out how to respond. However bad you think the problems are, they’re probably worse.

Those were some conclusions of a panel of experts on children and the Net that I moderated last week at the RSA Security conference in San Francisco. RSA assembled an impressive group, including a pediatrician expert in child abuse, a top prosecutor from the Department of Justice, a reporter who uncovered shocking facts about social networking phenomenon MySpace, and the chief privacy officer of Facebook

Dr. Sharon Cooper, who runs a group called Developmental and Forensic Pediatrics, spoke about sexual predators who target children on social networks. Cooper says these astonishingly cyber-savvy criminals are typically spend about six months in online dialogue with children before suggesting they meet in person. “When someone is instant-messaging a child all the time and saying things like ‘I was waiting for you to come home from school,’ it’s really easy for kids to start to think that this really is their friend,” she says. Cooper says all parents should insist on seeing their children’s MySpace or Facebook page. “Any kind of monitoring is a good thing,” she says.

She applauds MySpace for releasing software which will enable parents to determine if someone using their Internet connection is a member. It also will reveal the screen name of such users as well as the age they claim to be. MySpace rules prohibit members under 14, but many kids disregard this and simply lie. At least with the new software parents will know they’re doing so.

Among my daughter’s friends in Manhattan, there were several who, when they were 12 and 13, had MySpace profiles claiming they were 16 or 18. At least one showed a photo of herself in her bra, not far from the name of her school. Such behavior is, sadly, not unusual, according to Cooper and others on the panel.

Drew Oosterbaan, chief of the child exploitation and obscenity section of the DOJ, has additional concerns. “Overnight the Internet changed everything,” he says, “because the pedophiles learned they were not alone.” He says the Net has emboldened many of them to act in ways even more awful than before. “The Net has created communities of people — including both those who like old cars and those who like child pornography,” he explains.

But to gain credibility in such groups, he says, “there’s the incentive to create images of new types of abuse.” So younger and younger children are being abused in more and more depraved ways, and being photographed or video taped. Oosterbaan explained that by far the greatest risk of abuse for children still comes, as it always has, from people they know personally. Those hiding-in-plain-site predators are the ones being influenced and goaded on by these new Internet communities.

The prosecutor appealed to techies to help law enforcement officials come up with better ways to monitor and track aberrant behavior. He applauded efforts in Congress to push for software that searches online images so police can be alerted when illegal content is found. He said that the
