Teacher Or Killer?


Atrocities on school kids has been a common issue all over the world. There have been several cases of atrocities forced by cruel teachers on poor kids. The recent incident in a Delhi school is a shocking testimony to the mistreatment of school kids.

School , a place where a child's future is expected to be molded, has now sadly turned into a grave death trap. Parents send in kids to schools with huge expectations but alas, due to a few stone-hearted faculty, some parents end up losing their kids.
Punishing school kids is a common trait in Indian schools. A majority of schools insist on punishing the innocent souls so as to teach them discipline. But they forget the fact that the best way to teach and guide kids is through proper love and care.

The recent incident in Delhi that pushed a 11 year old kid to the end of her life is grievous. Shona, a class II student of MCD primary school in Bawana, was "made to stand" in the sun with bricks on her shoulders allegedly by her teacher. She breathed her last at Maharishi Valmiki Hospital here on Friday afternoon.

This is not the only incident of such sort, our country has been mutely witnessing several such incidents, and innocent kids have been losing their lives. The only solution to this to have proper regulations concerning the treatment towards school kids. Strenuous actions must be taken against teachers who try to handle kids with force. Physical punishments in schools must be banned and defaulters must be prosecuted. It is only through these efforts that one can regain the faith in Schools and teachers.

Prejudicious Conficker Virus Exasperates Into A Stealer


http://www.honeytechblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/confickervirus.png
The Conficker worm that infected millions of computers around the world this month is now morphing and spreading, and is apparently posing an identity theft issue.


What is Conficker worm:


The Conficker worm is a computer worm that can infect your computer and spread itself to other computers across a network automatically, without human interaction.


What does the Conficker worm do?

To date, security researchers have discovered two variants of the worm in the wild

  • Win32/Conficker.A was reported to Microsoft on November 21, 2008.
  • Win32/Conficker.B was reported to Microsoft on December 29, 2008.
  • Win32/Conficker.C was reported to Microsoft on February 20, 2009.
  • Win32/Conficker.D was reported to Microsoft on March 4, 2009.

Win32/Conficker.B might spread through file sharing and via removable drives, such as USB drives (also known as thumb drives). The worm adds a file to the removable drive so that when the drive is used, the AutoPlay dialog will show one additional option.


Conficker Exasparates and Steals!

Conficker is now aggravating into an anti-virus program called Spyware Protect 2009. The worm takes users to a fake secuirty Web site, asks them to pay $50 for a spyware program that actually is the Conficker worm, then keeps your credit card information, to boot. "It infects your computer," she told Smith. "And it keeps that $50."

Conficker can pop up on your computer in various ways, like a pop-up that advertises a way to prevent the worm, or in your e-mail or Facebook account. So be safe during your online activities and dont click on sites that you are unfamiliar about.


Conficker Worm Bites.

More than 700 computers at the University of Utah have been infected with the Conficker worm. The hit includes computers at the university's three hospitals, the Associated Press reported early Sunday. University spokesman Chris Nelson said the outbreak was detected Thursday, the AP reported. By the next day, the worm had struck at the hospitals, medical school, and the nursing, pharmacy, and health colleges. Patient records have not been touched, Nelson said. IT cut off Net access for up to six hours on Friday in order to isolate the virus, the AP reported.


Am I at risk of having the Conficker worm?

Most antivirus software could detect and block the Conficker worm, so if you have updated antivirus software on your computer, you are at a much lower risk of being infected by the Conficker worm, if for some reason you are worried that your computer isinfected by Conficker wormjust take up the Simple Conficker Chart test.


This test helps you diagnose your system for Conficker Infection. Since, Conficker worm blocks your system from accessing security and anti virus websites, trying to access such sites can help you ensure if your Computer is infected with Conficker or not.

Make A Difference..


http://borgenproject.org/sitebuilder/images/poverty_children_pictures-640x425.png
Society plays a great role in our life. A good society and a good social circle are vital for a happy life. Despite the innumerable benefits enjoyed through society, we are reluctant to do our bit for the cause of society. The present day society is flooded with a hefty amount of destitute and poverty-stricken population. There are children who lose their childhood, toiling hard to earn for their livelihood. Many children are pulled to the end of their lives, due to lack of food and shelter, while some are exploited due to child labour. Despite all these, the indifference of the uptown class of population towards such helpless souls is really pathetic.

Each person has to realize that they owe something towards the society. People should naturally tend to do contribute their best towards the society. One of the best ways in which one can help the destitute is by joining or organising an NGO that can work for the improvement of the destitute class's living conditions.
There are several NGO's operating all over our country, which have brought diverse changes to the poverty-stricken communities and helped in their upliftment. I insist that more and more people should enroll into these NGO's and do their part for societal improvement. Compared to the past few years, there has been a steep increase in the number of people who have enrolled into these NGO's. It is to be noted that the youth population is the one that dominates the NGO. More and more youth have started to realise their responsibilities towarsds the society.
The simplest way in which you can make a difference is by teaching the poor children in your locality. Many NGO's organise weekend education prgrammes which teach the poor kids, who cant afford to join schools. But the only set back is that these NGO's lack funds and work force. We can hep come over this obstacle by joining the NGO's and donatig to the NGO's. We have to remember that this is our society and we have to take care of it. Do your part for the society and make a difference in someone's life.
