Bangladesh building collapse: worldwide miracle survivals
Bangladesh — A seamstress buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued Friday, a miraculous moment set against a scene of unimaginable horror, where the death toll shot past 1,000.Reshma survived, in remarkably good shape, by eating dried food that was in her area and drinking spare amounts of water with her. She was discovered on the second floor of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors, for much of the past two weeks.
"I heard voices of the rescue workers for the past several days. I kept hitting the wreckage with sticks and rods just to attract their attention," she told the private Somoy TV from her hospital bed as doctors and nurses milled about, giving her saline and checking her condition. "No one heard me. It was so bad for me. I never dreamed I'd see the daylight again," she said. "There was some dried food around me. I ate the dried food for 15 days. The last two days I had nothing but water. I used to drink only a limited quantity of water to save it. I had some bottles of water around me," she said.
Once Reshma finally got their attention, the crews ordered the cranes and bulldozers to immediately stop work and used handsaws and welding and drilling equipment to cut through the iron rod and debris still trapping her. They gave her water, oxygen and saline as they worked to free her. When Reshma was freed after 40 minutes, the crowd erupted in wild cheers. She was rushed to a military hospital in an ambulance, but her rescuers said she was in shockingly good condition, despite her ordeal. Abdur Razzak, a warrant officer with the military's engineering department who first spotted her in the wreckage, said she could even walk. "She was fine, no injuries. She was just trapped. The space was wide," said Lt. Col. Moyeen, an army official at the scene. Reshma told her rescuers there were no more survivors in her area. Workers began tearing through the nearby rubble anyway, hoping to find another person alive. "Reshma told me there were three others with her. They died. She did not see anybody else alive there," said Maj. Gen. Chowdhury Hasan Suhrawardy, the head of the local military units. "We will continue our search until a survivor or a dead body is there." The woman survived for more than two weeks in temperatures that touched the mid 90s. She scrounged for whatever food she could find, Suhrawardy said. Then, when the workers with bulldozers and cranes got close to the area where she was trapped, she took a steel pipe and began banging it to attract attention, Razzak said. The workers ran into the dark rubble, eventually getting flashlights, to free her, he said.
Reshma's mother and her sister, Asma, rushed to the hospital to meet her. Hundreds of people who had been engaged in the grim job of removing decomposing bodies from the site raised their hands together in prayer for her survival.
"Allah, you are the greatest, you can do anything. Please allow us all to rescue the survivor just found," said a man on a loudspeaker leading the supplicants. "We seek apology for our sins. Please pardon us, pardon the person found alive." Workers at the site had been clearing the rubble since the collapse April 24. More than 2,500 people were rescued in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. However, no survivors had been found in the wreckage since April 28, when Shahin Akter was found amid the wreckage. As workers tried to free her, a fire broke out and she died of smoke inhalation. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, called Reshma in the hospital, and the rescued woman began crying on the phone, Suhrawardy said. She told Hasina: "I am fine, please pray for me," he said.
Hasina, whose government has come under criticism for its lax oversight over the powerful garment industry, was racing to the hospital by helicopter to meet her, and congratulated the rescuers,
officials said. "This is an unbelievable feat," Hasina was quoted as saying by her assistant, Mahbubul Haque Shakil. The death toll from the disaster soared past 1,000 Friday, with officials confirming that 1,038 bodies had been recovered from the rubble of the fallen building, which had housed five garment factories employing thousands of workers.
The disaster has raised alarm about the often deadly working conditions in Bangladesh's $20 billion garment industry, which provides clothing for major retailers around the globe. Brig. Gen. Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder, an army official overseeing the recovery work said the bodies being recovered were badly decomposed and identification was difficult. "We are working carefully," he said. "If we get any ID card or mobile phone with them, we can still identify them. Our sincere effort is to at least hand over the bodies to the families." Brig. Gen. Azmal Kabir, a top official of the military's engineering section, said more than half of the estimated 7,000 tons of debris have been removed from the site but he did not know when the work would be finished.

Free software/Open Source Software - What is it?
Open Source (free software) software is currently used in many companies and projects. Open source, or free software as Richard Stallman defines it, means having access to the source code of a piece of software. Open source software played a very important role in the technology market explosion of the late 90s. Rising dot-coms and technology companies seeking to stretch their venture funding as far as possible made extensive use of free software solutions Open source software tends to out-perform its proprietary counterparts in a variety of areas, qualitative arguments for freedom aside. When examining free software, one will find that it is usually more reliable, more secure, performs better, or provides more functionality than a comparable closed source product, and often excels in more than one of these areas – not to mention that free software is almost always a better value. Open Source software is driven by people freely donating of their time and talents to improve the project. Open standards exist to enable interoperability in a marketplace of multiple competing implementations while ensuring certain minimum requirements for interoperability are met. Free Software advocates believe software is akin to speech and should be free in the sense of “liberty.” The open source method used is the multiseat display manager, aka MDM, maintained by the Center for Scientific Computing and Free Software, aka C3SL. MDM is not an actual display manager like GDM, XDM, or KDM. It is a collection of scripts and programs that detect the hardware of the computer and creates the proper configuration files for a multiseat environment. Free software is a subset of Open Source software. Like the FSF, the OSI also wishes to protect the ability to read, modify, and redistribute source code as a means to enhance the evolution of a piece of software. It acknowledges the pragmatic virtues of free software but does not believe that proprietary software is immoral. All open source software currently available is less user-friendly, which is representative of its lower level of maturity. The gap will soon be filled and they will catch up to their proprietary commercial opponents.

Get your lost data from hard disk
Is your hard disk crashed or some body deleted your valuable data from your hard disk? Recover all data within short time. Works with all common file systems. See below the download link.
Do-it-yourself Data Recovery Software
Product Highlights
|
|
GetDataBack is more than an undelete or file recovery program or a system restore.
GetDataBack will recover your data if the hard drive's partition table, boot record, FAT/MFT or root directory are lost or damaged, data was lost due to a virus attack, the drive was formatted, fdisk has been run, a power failure has caused a system crash, files were lost due to a software failure, files were accidentally deleted. GetDataBack can even recover your data when the drive is no longer recognized by Windows. It can likewise be used even if all directory information - not just the root directory- is missing.
Get everything back, The safe and easy way.
Advanced algorithms make sure that all directories and sub directories are put together as they were, and that long file names are reconstructed correctly. GetDataBack is read-only, meaning the program will never attempt to write to the drive you are about to recover. Our software enables an inexperienced user to conduct their own data recovery by guiding them through three easy to understand steps. If you are an advanced user there are options to adjust the recovery process and improve the results.
Free lifetime updates
GetDataBack comes with free updates for the lifetime of the software. Unlike competitors who require you to buy a new version every year, our first GetDataBack customers from 2001 are still enjoying the newest versions of our software!
Recover files over your local network or serial cable
This feature enables you to run GetDataBack on one computer ("remote") while accessing the drives of another computer ("host"). Recovering data over a network is useful, especially when you are not able to remove the drive you want to recover from and attach it to another computer. Just download HDHost and install it on the computer you want to recover data from.

Data recovery
Data Recovery Wizard increases the odds of recovering files by not only recovering deleted files but also files from damaged disks, from formatted disks and from memory cards or storage devices. It can help you recover files after a hard disk crash and can recover RAW data. This recovery software supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS/NTFS5 file systems. Data Recovery Wizard does not have a deep or quick scan per se, but its scan options include a deleted file scan, a complete recovery scan and a partition recovery scan. The deleted file scan performs the simplest recovery task of discovering deleted files or files emptied from the recycle bin. The complete recovery scan looks for all recoverable files and takes the longest. The partition recovery scan can help you recover data from damaged, reformatted or corrupt partitions. The software has helpful sort tools for finding exactly the files you need, and you can save searches to save time in subsequent scans. Data recovery software for Windows is a do-it-yourself solution that is easy to use and less expensive than hiring a data recovery service. However, there are a few precautions to keep in mind. First, do not install the software onto the compromised disk. Either install it onto a different disk or to a separate PC that you can attach to the disk drive. Data recovery software feature multiple functions with algorithms designed to address each step to recovering files. More specifically, it has automated functions like file recovery, partition recovery, and file repair ; and may contain more complex operations like drive access, drive repair, sector cloning of failing media, sector imaging to a network or secondary media, and sector editing through a Hex editor . Data recovery from hard discs, RAID drives, servers, notebooks, laptops, computers or tapes is a very sensitive procedure so you need a lot of technical know-how in order to get the job done and not make things worse. When you call a data recovery Miami specialist in your area, you might need to do some investigation to find Miami's finest. To recover lost files not only do you need a fast professional service but also one that takes security seriously. Without using the correct procedures and precautions, successful recovery would not be possible.

Undersea cable cut near Egypt slows down Internet in Africa, Middle East, South Asia
Internet and telecommunication networks live on undersea cable networks. And like clockwork, every so often we have cable cuts which disrupt the flow of information. A recent cut near Egypt has impacted millions of Internet users in Asia, Middle East and Africa.
It is like Groundhog Day! Once again an undersea cable has been cut — the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 (aka SEA-ME-WE 4) cable and that is causing an internet (and communications) slowdown in and around Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The cut was said to be near Alexandria in Egypt. Tata Communications – previously Videsh Sanchar Nigam LimitedIndia – administers the network.
While the cut was on a single cable, it came at an unfortunate time as a few other major cables were in “maintenance mode” and that has resulted in problems for service providers across the region. Our sources in the telecom community confirmed that two other cables — Europe India Gateway (EIG) and India-Middle East-Western Europe (IMEWE) — were in ‘maintenance’ mode when the SWM4 got cut. The result is downstream congestion on networks that are going to India and around the Indian Ocean. UAE’s Etisalat reported that the internet speeds were down by as much as 60 percent in some locations.
Sunil Tagare, who runs the BuySellBandwidth.com, on his blog wrote,
It’s not good enough to say since you have 10 cables even if going through Egypt, you have route diversity. And as today’s 4 cable cuts have demonstrated, any time the cables are along similar paths, there is a high likelihood that all of them might be cut at the same time.
He was arguing that four major cable — I-Me-We, Sea-Me-We-4, EIG and TE North – were impacted at the same time and thus causing problems in the Middle East and Asia. It is not a smart way to think about the networks, especially since we depend so heavily on many of these optical cables. Tagare’s argument makes sense to me, for we have seen this pattern repeat itself a few times. As I wrote earlier, there are three major cables that connect Europe and Middle East – SeaMeWe-3, SeaMeWe-4 and FLAG Euro-Asia — and they follow the same path underneath the Mediterranean Sea, making them vulnerable to cuts.
In 2010, the SEA-ME-WE-4 experienced a cut causing large scale disruptions, two years after the cable experienced an outage. Things have become more acute now considering that SEA-ME-WE4 is a lifeline for the African internet.
SEACOM, an African consortium which owns the big African Internet cable, later confirmed the outage on its website and said that it was working towards restoration. SEACOM had already been experiencing problems since March 24 and was in the middle of fixing those before it was hit by the cable cut.
Mark Simpson, CEO of SEACOM, said in a press note:
The cause of the outage is a physical cable cut some kilometres north of the coast of Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. This is not likely to be known until the cable is repaired in the coming week or two and the damaged section is recovered from the seabed and inspected. However we suspect, based on our experience with sub-sea systems and the nature of the sea area where the cut has occurred, that the most likely cause is external aggression to the cable most probably caused by a larger vessel dragging its anchor across the sea bed. Unfortunately this remains a common cause of damage to cable systems globally, despite our continued efforts to protect the cable with armour, burying, notifications to ships of cable location and exclusion zones.
By the way, SEAMEWE-3 experienced a cut about two months ago (between Singapore and Perth, Australia) and it hasn’t been fixed just yet mostly because the network operator was waiting for Indonesian government permission to fix the cable which is in Indonesian waters.
