Pakistan has lost home advantage to New Zealand for their Davis Cup tennis tie.  Pakistan was to host the Asia-Oceania zone second-round tie in July, but New Zealand had asked for it to be moved because of security fears.

According to the Pak Tribune, Tennis New Zealand said the International Tennis Federation had reversed its choice of venue for the tie “due to the existing security concerns that continue to surround the hosting of sporting events in Pakistan”.

“A lot of our players had expressed concerns and did not want to travel to Pakistan,” TNZ operations and events manager Tracy Hall told the Pak Tribune.

Foreign sports teams have looked badly upon Pakistan ever since an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in March of last year.  Meanwhile, bomb attacks in the city last week killed 45 people.

The US Police Department played a crucial role in saving the people of Haiti from the powerful magnitude of 7.0 and interestingly, the UN administration has taken immediate action to save thousands of people. It is an appreciable effort of US administration that they acted fast and provided all the relief materials to the people. Of course, the people of Haiti were already suffering from poverty and epidemic diseases and this earthquake has destroyed the houses and lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The entire Police Department has number of challenges to face as thousands of inmates escaped from the jail which is the major threat to the authorities of Haiti and UN as well.

There were quite critical conditions in the area as thousands of survivors fight for water, food and gasoline. This is the responsibility of police officials to stop these activities and of course the police have succeeded in their task. They have really established peace in the affected area which resulted in the improvement of buildings and houses. The military and police officials have shown great efforts to make peace and stability in Haiti which was the major issue in the country. It is good news for the US administration that they have taken lead in worldwide emergency relief activities and interestingly, President Obama has said that they are doing this just on humanitarian basis.

The Police officials have provided everything to the public of Haiti from food, water to medical assistance. It is to be said that US Police Department was successful in providing complete safety to the people, removing survivors from shuttered buildings, maintaining traffic control in the area and they distributed supplies very carefully. So, these are the major and really appreciable efforts from US Police Department and the people of Haiti are hopeful to attain peace very soon.

The suicide bombers have started to target Government schools in Afghanistan and recent attacks by suicide bombers lead to the killings of around 19 people and injuring 46 people. The suicide bombers have now started targeting Government houses, buildings and even schools for the fulfillment of their desires. The attack on Government Schools has shaken the entire ministry of Afghanistan. This time again, definitely it is the task of Taliban suicide bombers. Taliban is really exploding its revenge over innocent people and now police and military of Afghanistan will act upon each and every activity of Talibanian terrorists. The most popular group of militants called ‘Lashkar – e – Toiba’ is operating from Taliban and their base is in the nearby areas of border. They import opium from the border area to Pakistan.

The police officials and military personnel are making effective strategies to eradicate Taliban group from Afghanistan. In fact they are trying to separate Taliban from Afghanistan so that the people of Afghanistan can live peacefully in their own country. The attacks on schools have put fear in the minds of children as well as in the minds of several people. The recent news revealed that the attacks were the outcome of Government’s behavior with their terrorist’s friends in the jail. Now, the army has complete control over the situation and they have settled down most of the security issues in the area.

The police and military people provide surety to the people about their security. The combined effort of political leaders is very important to resolve the issues. Without any political help it is not possible for the army or police to completely eradicate terrorism. However, the political leaders are also doing efforts to control the situation and the people can hope for the best and positive outcome. It is to be said that the peace and security will be established in Afghanistan very soon.

The suicide bombings have been destroying the lives of people from 1981 till now and it is the most horrible act by terrorists. Suicide bombings have become the most powerful weapon of terrorists and they use it effortlessly. The media persons and researchers from all over the world are confused about the exact reason behind the master planning of suicide bombers. It is very difficult to find out the exact reason but researchers have revealed what motivates the people to become suicide bombers and this is the most horrible truth of all those terrorist groups. The data available from 1981 to 2006 revealed that there were around 1200 attempts of suicide attacks which resulted in the killing of 14, 600 people.

The countries like Iraq, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Palestine-Israel and Afghanistan are suffering from suicide attacks from the last several years. There are different views and responses about the motives of suicide attackers. Some researchers claimed that it is only due to wrong politics in these countries but some believe that religion can be a factor behind this is completely a misconception of people. The latest research revealed that the religion or personality can not be the main cause behind the suicide attacks.

The researchers told media persons that religion can be the cause of recruitment of suicide bombers but it can be said that there is an external force behind the motivation of suicide bombers. Definitely the religion is not a driving force but cocktail of inspiration or motivation which include politics, revenge, altruism, retaliation and humiliation. These can be the major factors behind the motivation of suicide bombers and it can lead to huge disaster. There are other several causes behind the suicide attacks but it can be said that motivation by the leaders of militant group is the main factor behind these acts of inhumanity.

As a worker in an assembly line, you are wondering what those video surveillance cameras on the walls are doing. Are they really watching you? What for?

High Tech Surveillance Goes To Work

Remember the Holocaust? Jewish prisoners toiled under heavy guard of the Gestapo. They were kicked or shot to death on the spot if they didn’t perform well. The Gestapo was worse than the present day video surveillance. But that scenario is long past gone and buried in the memories of the survivors. Life goes on.

In the manufacturing assembly line, you watch thousands of cans rolling along.There are no guards to poke you in the ribs when you blink. You stifle a yawn and eye the rolling cans on the conveyor, to spot defects in shape because of two things:

1. you love your job since it puts food on the table.
2. and there’s those bugs watching.

When the whistle blows for a break things screech to a halt and you rush for your mug of steaming coffee. At the cafeteria, there’s those surveillance cameras again, silently watching.

This is an everyday scene all over the country. Spy cameras are watching, ready to pounce on a fault and a misdemeanor in the workplace. Video surveillance in the workplace is, according to annoyed workers, an unwelcome intrusion. Workers complain that this violates their privacy. Employers counter that this is protection for the business and for the workers.

How video surveillance helps business and workers

In large factories dealing with hazardous gasses, workers can view production without being exposed to poisonous or toxic elements. At the control room, a designated watcher can immediately call the workers’ attention to any problem in the production room.

In the office, surveillance can help employers identify embezzlers and idlers on the tapes and present the recordings as evidence when litigation is necessary. One employer demands the religious review of the tapes before workers come in, to check the presence of improvised explosive devices and suspicious activities that may endanger a life.

This provides the cost-saving advantage of employing less security people. Two persons managing the monitors can alert posted guards if there are any problems. And whatever is shown from CCTV surveillance cannot be viewed by other factories because these are not broadcast. Each of the video surveillance cameras has a radio signal that is linked to the recording and viewing equipment.

Security has its price

Workers are learning to cope with the intrusion of video surveillance. As long as this does not interfere with their work or their privacy, security will always come first.

However, video surveillance put in the wrong hands and used for wrong purposes can upset the balance between privacy and security. This can be compared to the sinister watching of the Gestapo at Birkenau camp.

But the advantages of electronic or digital surveillance outweighs the minor inconveniences experienced in the workplace. So apart from checking on you, video surveillance is watching you to help you, just in case.

World is moving ahead technologically but one issue that is prevalent globally is terrorism which makes any country several steps back from its advancement. Terrorism is invited on mere ignorance about its facts. Some conscious efforts in understanding the root cause behind such problems can help a country to safeguard its citizens. Among the assorted terrorist activities, the suicide bombers are a threat directly to mankind and attempting to commit suicide is considered illegal.

Intuitive thought process of suicide bombers

Most of the countries that are facing the foremost terrorist attacks are working to find out the reasons for various terrorist activities and especially the growing suicide bombers attacks. Considerate approach behind such attempts can help in minimizing the problems.

• It has been observed that suicide bombers are like any normal human being having normal human behavior. In fact, they are well educated and most of them have been found belonging to good family backgrounds. In such cases, researchers find it tough to understand the psychology of such people and what provokes them to attempt such incidents.
• People who are suicide bombers are mostly found to be of young age between 20 – 25, as they are easy to be convinced and are very aggressive. Mostly they do such acts to get recognized among countries easily without considering the consequences.
• Another attempt to understand the thought process of such bombers is the prevalent terrorist groups. Many groups that promote terrorist activity are major source to involve people in such activities as they inflame them on the name of country, state and most of the times on religious beliefs.
• Among the various factors like the kind of circumstances and the others, prevalent social factors prove the psychology of these people.
• Any kind of mishappening with their near and dear ones is big contributing factor to aggravate such things.

The assorted psychological factors contribute towards transforming normal individuals to the suicide bombers. Thus trying to deal with some thought processes of such people can help in preventing terror as these people belong to all religions and no single religion can be blamed.

It is shocking news that Afghanistan contributes around 90 % of drugs to all the nations all over the world. Afghanistan is an opium hub and it is well known for the cultivation of maximum opium. The opium cultivation is much more in Afghan and interestingly, they are doing these types of activities effortlessly. Drug trafficking in Afghanistan has risen to new heights and the famous leaders are actually involved in drug trafficking to complete their desires. The area near the Taliban border is considered as the most fertile area and the cultivation of opium is high in that area.

The cultivation is mainly done by terrorists or other people who did this for them. The military and police officials are doing their best efforts to remove the opium cultivation land and they are planning different strategies to control the opium cultivation. Al – Qaeda is the only militant group that can be behind all these drug trafficking activities and it has to be removed to establish peace and security within the country. The main terror and opium come from Taliban and the meeting about the separation of Taliban is in the air which can be a good step from the Government in order to save the people of Afghanistan.

Above all, Afghanistan can be declared as Narco- State and UN officials have said that fighting with terrorist is easy but fighting with opium cultivation there is very difficult as the major area is affected by opium and the people there can do anything for opium. Some officials of Afghanistan also said that the most of the suicide bombers are drug addicts and they do not even know anything about the detonators. So, it can be a matter of serious concern for the Government of Afghanistan and they should act swiftly in order to save their own people from the darkness of addiction and loneliness.

The security features in Afghanistan were worst before some time back but now it seems to be improving and Afghan Military is responsible for this improvement to a great extent. It is very important for any Nation to provide complete security to the entire population and in fact it is the responsibility of every country. Afghanistan is also making efforts to improve the living standards and to secure the general population. The security conditions in Afghanistan are really improving and they are implementing some effective strategies to make it even more effective. The military in Afghanistan is really showing best efforts and they have proved that they can lose great leaders or soldiers but they can not afford to lose control of the population.

The military of Afghanistan has revealed strategies which can prove to be beneficial for the people of Afghan. Their plan is to mainly focus on three regions which include Southern Province of Kandahar and Helmand, Eastern Provinces of Paktia, Khost and Paktika along with Quetta Shura Taliban. The military of Afghanistan is doing every possible effort to establish peace and serenity of people. The provinces of Kandahar and Helmand consist of some really fertile land and this is the area where most people can reside. It is also a Provincial capital of Gah which is the economic center of Gereshk. The major threat is that it is also a hub of drug operations. So, it is the prime effort and of course responsibility of Afghan military to take over all the illicit operations in that area so that the people can lead a normal life there effortlessly.

Also, they are planning to separate Taliban out of Afghanistan as it is the only region which supports the Lashkar –e – Toiba, a major terrorist group or community. So, all these efforts can save this nation and it is the only way to establish peace here.

The suicide bombings in Taliban are increasing with every single day and it is essential to stop these types of activities. The military and police officials are doing their best efforts to reduce some affects of suicide bombers but it has been of no use. There are several militant groups or communities which exist in Taliban that produce suicide bombers. There are some master planners behind all these suicide bombers and it is done by continuously poisoning their minds by using hypnotic tact. The recent news revealed that most of the suicide bombers are mentally retarded or drug addicts. The Taliban group is using these types of people to complete their mission and they do not feel guilty on using suicide bombers as children.

There are several cases of children suicide bombers and the outcome results in the child’s death. Most of the suicide bombers are uneducated and they do not have proper knowledge of detonators. This is the reason why they set themselves on explosion. Taliban is creating much havoc and has captured the most fertile area near the border. They cultivate opium there and import it to Pakistan or middle Afghanistan. There are lots of people there who are opium addicts and they can do anything for this drug. The Taliban militant group is using those people as suicide bombers.

The military and army are also doing their best efforts to eradicate the existence of terrorists in Taliban and in fact the Afghanistan Government is thinking of separating the Taliban as the major terror coming is from Taliban. So, the military and police officials are making strategies to vacate that area so that the people in the nearby areas can live peacefully. The suicide bombers are not only a threat to the population but they also affect the economy and environment of the whole country. The people are hopeful about the efforts of military and it will definitely result in the positive outcome.

Iran is facing a hard time now as there is a lot of violence in Iran due to the fault of Government. All the nations around the world are condemning this violence because it creates havoc not only in their country but affects the people all over the world. Violence in Iran is taking serious turn and it directly affects the population and of course economy of Iran. Use of nuclear weapons in Iran is the main issue of security and all the nations are doing their best efforts to stop it. UN is monitoring the condition in Iran and they have announced that the use of nuclear weapons should be controlled in order to avoid further inconvenience.

Iran has understood the fact that having nuclear weapons or nuclear power does not mean that they are secured but it can be the major cause of violence in Iran. All the nations have appealed to Iran on the ban of nuclear weapons but it has done no good. Now the question is, who is behind all these violence activities and what is the Iranian Government doing to stop these activities. Recently, there were three videos released on a website which showed the type of violence in Iran. However, the Government and people of Iran are placing their doubts on neighbors but without any possible and positive clue, it is not possible to put all the blame on them.

Some video or pictures describe really merciless act of some protestors and they were seen damaging the Iranian property hassle free. Some of the shown images and the faces of culprits are clearly visible in those pictures. Now, the Iranian Government has announced that it will be doing its best effort to recognize those faces and those people shall be behind the prison very soon. One can just hope for the best and positive outcome.

There are some of the main causes of Afghan insecurity and it is very important to move forward to create stable democracy. There are several types of underlying issues of insecurity in Afghanistan and all those issues should be resolved as soon as possible in order to establish peace in the country and in world. The insecurity among the people in Afghanistan is the major problem and this country is suffering from this problem from the last many years. There are some specific regions or areas like southwest, southeast and west regions are facing even more problems. The major threat to the country is its poverty and thus it is important to provide social support to these areas in order to make them stable enough so that they can even demand their right from their own country.

There are still several areas in Afghanistan where special care is needed. Maintaining peace within Afghanistan has been incomplete from several years. There are some areas in Afghanistan where there is no electricity. However, the electricity problems in Kabul have improved to great extent and this city has shown lots of improvement not only in one sector but in various sectors. It seems that Kabul is showing great efforts to improve the condition and it also depends upon the leaders of the country. The military forces also play a crucial role in the development of any country. Some special or intelligent leaders in the country are planning to introduce alternative energy resources and definitely this step can really change the condition of the country. It is a wise step towards the development of any country and it can be a turning point in the history of Afghanistan. It is important to make the most of advanced technology to change the existing system. So, one can say that if Afghanistan is drowning with poverty in one area on the other hand, it is rising with these types of alternative energy resources.

A woman is considered the start of any generation and is required for carrying it forward. In today’s era of modern world there are still so many countries who do not respect women hood. Among such countries one of the countries is IRAN. In this country there is extensive violence against women. Among the prevalent conditions the violence in Iran against women is an alarming issue.

Violence in Iran an injustice towards women

Iran is among those countries that literally treat their women as non existing class. The rules and laws are also not in support of the Iranian women. The traditional approach towards marriage is a big problem to the women. It has been observed that even if a wife is unhappy with her married life she cannot call off the marriage until it is the choice of her husband and the price of getting separated is heavy which is why most women step back and bear the torture of their men. Women who think to separate are asked to not even see their children for their entire life, they are treated brutally. Whereas the Iranian men are allowed divorces at their own will. It is the decision of a man to decide the custody of children. Violence in Iran is such against women that their life values only half the value of men. This means that if a woman is deceased or is murdered then the price of her compensation given to her family is only half but in case of men, full compensation is given. It has been seen that a women is given half or even lesser amount of the blood money as compared to men.

The dress code is another mode of Violence in Iran. Women are supposed to cover them entirely and in case they fail to do so they are imprisoned, insulted and abused by the people. On being arrested it is decision of the judge to decide her fate either lifetime imprisonment or heavy fine.

The ongoing Violence in Iran is an alarming issue and needs intervention of other countries and bringing awareness among people and educating them will be the best solution.

It is quite a difficult question to answer, whether who is behind the havoc in Iran. The Iranian Government is doing its best to know the fact. There can be many reasons behind this violence but the major cause is the nuclear accumulation which is the major threat to all the countries. The Iranian Government should understand the fact that it can create a sense of insecurity among other nations but it seems that Iran has lots of excuses. The UN and several nations have warned Iran to ban the usage of nuclear weapons but none has been till date. However, there could be several reasons behind Iran’s violence and it is the responsibility of the Iranian Government to recognize the main cause.

Recently, a website was launched which had some videos and images of Iran violence. The videos showed up that their closest neighbors can e behind all these activities but they do not have any possible clue, so talking about this is worthless. The videos show a motorcyclist with a gun in his left hand and another gun in the hands of pillion rider. It is the most thrilling video and the Iranian Government is committing to take some effective initiatives to arrest those culprits. There are some images of people who are beating the protestors mercilessly.

Another image of ‘chagoo kesh’ which means knife killer and the face of the culprit are clearly visible in the picture. The faces are recognized by the Police and other investigators and hope to see positive results very soon. The nations all over the world are thinking about the national security of Iran as the conditions are going bad. There is a need to take serious initiatives in order to save the people of Iran from all these brutal activities. The innocent people are more prone and it should be stopped as soon as possible.

Al Qaeda is the only master planner behind most of the suicide attacks in different parts of the world. Now, the investigators have revealed that Al – Qaeda plans to hurt the religious sentiments of people by plotting suicide bomber in the dress like Sikhs. They are planning to place explosives in the Sikh’s headgear and this is the most horrible news for the people in all over the world. Al – Qaeda is a well known terror group that is creating havoc in the world from the last several years and this time they have come up with the most horrible ideology which can be disastrous for the entire population. These types of attacks not only affect the people but also disturb the communal relations among the countries. These attacks should be stopped in order to make peace in the world.

Of course, this new strategy is the master mind of Al Qaeda leaders and they are going to take advantage of religious sensitivities. However, the Police and military have geared up to stop these activities and they have assured the people not to get panic due to these types of news. Recent security officials said that dressing as Sikh provides an edge to the culprits as the main security checks are from neck to feet but checking the head is very rare, so they are using this strategy. The military officials assured that they will not provide any space to them and the guilty will definitely be punished. They also assured that several security measures will be available on almost all the security check up points.

The leaders of Al-Qaeda have been very confident on their master plans but the time will decide the winner and military of all the nations have geared up and are ready for all types of challenges. This is not enough as the top leaders of Al-Qaeda also warned to bring a female suicide bomber. This is also a great danger to the military and Police officials as it is very difficult to check women thoroughly as it takes much time. However, the security officials said that they are bringing new and latest security tools that can easily detect all types of explosives. It can be an effective and better step towards the security of every nation and every nation should implement these types of security features in their country.

The recent news by the security officials said that Al-Qaeda is into the process of making new type of bombs that can be hidden within stomach to escape security measures at airport. The securities of all the countries have come into charge and they assure the public that nothing will happen. They also said that this is an alarming state for all the nations and that it is better to keep all the security measures up to date in order to avoid any further inconvenience. So, it can be said that all the efforts are being implemented to maintain all the security aspects.

In the computer era today, personal computer is more than just a tool to accomplish office tasks or to play games. There is actually a close relationship between information technology and home security, since you can use your PC to help you protect your home. With computer, many security tasks can be done automatically.

In the past few years, the traditional way to record an access violation is to use video security equipment by connecting video cameras to a TV and VCR. The VCR will then record everything captured by the video cameras. As the price of a VCR is quite low today, you can use it for security purposes at a little cost. There are also magnetic media-based recording devices with a time-lapse recording feature. This is useful to extend the time in which the device can perform recording.

You can also perform the job by using your own PC easily. In this case, with the help of surveillance software, the computer can record any events digitally. It differs from VCR, you will be able to save captured videos in a digital format which is easier to archive and edit. Moreover, such system can also be set up to start recording when it detects any movement.

There are many other advantages of using a PC as a security system. Today’s modern PCs are designed to be able to get connected to various devices. For instance you can connect spy cameras to your PC and perform covert surveillance. With a video capture card to convert analog to digital signals, this system can be set up very quickly. If you want you can even use the web camera that you usually use for chatting to perform remote monitoring and surveillance.

Using your PC as a surveillance system doesn’t mean that you have to stay in front of a computer to get an immediate warning when there is something bad in your home to occur. Some types of webcam security software even provide SMS-alert facilities. This permits you to use your cellphone to get an instant warning if there is an access violation at your home.

Depending on the software you use, there are various types of security tasks that can be accomplished with the help of your PC. For example, you can make your PC sound an audible alarm whenever it detects a motion near the door or window of your house.

However, if you want to use your PC as a home security system you should spend enough time when selecting the software package. Although most brands of software provide similar features, there are some activities that can only performed by a particular brand. Some brands of software are more expensive than others, but they likely provide a higher degree of protection.

An affordable PC based security system like this is especially useful when you are not at home. For instance, when you are at work or are on a vacation. This system allows you to concentrate on your tasks or to enjoy your vacation away from home, because it will send you a notice instantly of something undesirable happen in or around your home.
