Opinion: Countering the nonsense of attacking Besigye as there are more dire need reactions from the supporters if they want change!
The Defiance campaign couldn't be an easy run; it would be and is a long walk to freedom. There isn't a short quick and brief change out of thin air. The wish and concern isn't only on the FDC Presidential Candidate of late Dr. Kizza Besigye. The arrests for Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka of Nakawa and his Court Martial; together with arrest of the ones who dare to protest against the National Resistance Movement in this day and age. Just like the Youth of Democratic Party who demonstrated against the greedy Members of Parliament we're detained. The oppression of the NRM regime doesn't go away overnight like morning dew.
For those of you who thought this would be easy. Yes I had hope in February that the FDC and Dr. Kizza Besigye would win, because of the men running he had the best agenda and the needed remedy. The NRM has involved the Central Government in a way where the directions of the fiscal policies and the cash-barred MPs to beg for greed instead of dropping policies and laws that matters. The NRM machine are more caring about skinny jeans, short skirts and porn than having working equipment in the hospitals and steady delivery of needed medicines. This is the proof of the rigid brown-enveloped system blessed by the almighty at the State House.
While that is happening there people with hope and see that the brown-envelopes won't create any common good, but only for the current elite who eat the spoils of foreign donors and the secretive agreements between government and businesses. Getting mansions and luxurious SUVs before riding to the closest mall where even the Government Spokesperson Ofwono Opondo stole underwear. It's just how the system is made to blatant regard the men who in all their honour bow their heads to the Mzee on the top. They are allowed to do anything and get away with it. Therefore the ones who counter this paradigm get whipped, detained or even disgraced in public.
Still, with this in mind the blames that the current embattled Besigye is at fault. Not because he hasn't tried and done what he could empower the opposition with vigour to assemble in Power 10 (P10) Structure and other to counter the NRM Poor Youth or any other group that the Government used to silence the FDC. The FDC mobilisers has been detained as common as the roads development has been bribing state officials; it is so common that the news of detaining a FDC Youth or Mobilisers are day-to-day acts of the Police Force. So it is not like Besigye and the FDC haven't had heavy-water to carry.
The assurance that the Defiance Campaign wasn't made in fear of repression from the NRM or the Government; should have been well known as the NRM Regime has since it establishment done what it could to harass and disrupt the rallies of Dr. Paul Ssemogerere and so on. The ones forgetting that is currently forgotten the past. I am sure even the current leader of DP Norbert Mao has had issues under the last Campaign Trial in 2011/2012. Norbert Mao we're even detained during the campaign in this calendar-year because the UPF cannot help themselves to make life hard for real opposition.
So with that knowledge of this and even after the 10th Parliament have started and the Plenary Sessions begun. This is the start of the new breed of MPs, who wish to get more funds and more salaries then the former legislators. They want to be rich quick and get that on the public funds. They don't have ideas of their obligations to represent their citizens and not eat of their citizens. Even if they just follow what the 'Old Man with the Hat' has teaches them as he came with empty pockets to the Parliament and now decades later are richer than god.
So if the ones caring thought the Defiance Campaign would succeed on its own like a marching band making noise on the gates when it past and everybody enjoying it. You're wrong because some hates the marching band and other wish they just went down more street. Defiance of Besigye had to get public support and truly be invested in it to get the change happen. The fear of the repression of the regime and their sanctions might be a reason for why it has partly failed for the moment. Because if they wanted they should do more than quickly after thinking of boycotting the "Tubonga Nawe" artists who campaigned for the Cow farmer.
Besigye had #KigwaLeero wishing for a brighter future and make a difference. He asked for a government with accountability and we're there for the public. Not like the ones that is there now who is there for former rebel who takes the riches for himself and leaves scraps for the elite who is loyal to him.
Defying the regime could not be done by him alone in Kasangati, it could be only be the hardliners who stood by Besigye in his hardships. It has to be made the ones who really want to get rid of the regime of present. It will not be easy and get there easily. Some has spoken of violence and using the tactics of old, like the ones that Mzee used himself to get power. If you do so wouldn't you be the same as him? If he used guns and guerrilla warfare to get into power and you use the same doesn't that make you a rebel who dreamed of power and not a true democrat? Even if Ghana's Jerry Rawlings made it and ushered in a positive political system, that doesn't necessary work for Besigye.
I doubt that Besigye want to use violence and rebel through the rifles and assassinate his opponents. As he was parts of the NRA and doesn't want the change to be of the old ways, only through guns and on the battlefield. There is precisely in history that none President or Executive in Uganda has been changed peacefully through the ballot, instead through the bullets, which makes sense at least to those of us who believes in peaceful transitions.
That means that this is not alone on Besigye, this is on the supporters and the opposition itself. That means that struggle of the opposition has to defy the current regime. With means that hurt the regime and that discontinue the fiscal funding of government, that counter the legitimacy of the institutions and the opposition has to build strong grass-root movement that has most of the base in the population. So that you have all corners on the knees and weak; so that the actions of government can be countered by people's sanctioning them. The best acts of the defiance during the Election period were the use of VPN to counter to Social-Media Ban of the Uganda Communication Commission (UCC). So the people have it naturally in them when they feel betrayed and knowledge of ways to stop nonsense from all-controlling government.
It's that kind of defiance that is needed. That kind of acts that hurts the MTN and the others who practically funds the regime and keeps the taxation without representation going. Besigye can be blamed, but he is the spokesman and the one who is tormented by the regime already. So the man has done and continues to do his part. The people behind have to use their wisdom and ways to destabilize the regime by peaceful means and even risk their freedoms. As so many youths and people associated with FDC has been during the years. Also other political parties have also felt the pain of being opposition. So the ones blaming Besigye has lost the basic component of it all: the key is always the people! They, the people have the fate of the government in their hands; the Government lives either on the trust from the public or of the fear of the people going against it.
The people decide not only through secret ballots, but through their faith and their assessment of the situation of how they believe they should govern. Some might accept the current regime in silence because of the fear and the belief if they go against it they lose it all. But if those all thinks like this than the organizing against the current regime will not become of anything.
Now with this the FDC and Besigye have to show Defiance and be upfront as they have to use their support to weaken the NRM and their henchmen's. This is not only defying in court and going from kangaroo courts and smiling on NTV. That is to directly counter the regimes acts in Parliament, demonstrate and boycott. Use other ways with even stronger force and more success than Walk to Work. That will not be easy and that can only happen if the momentum and belief together with the peoples. The Peoples or the Citizens can only act when they are sure they will conquer the regime, if not they will demonstrate and lose the little they have. They lose their hawking job and their voice where they were. That is not acceptable.
What Besigye has to do is not to give in or give up. He is the voice of hope and a brighter new day. But to get the brighter new day for the Ugandan people under a new government who have other belief in institutions and service delivery than the people has to support Besigye and his cause. Not because Besigye is only one who can do this, but because he is the ones who champion it through defiance on his own.
The ones who attacks Besigye for his campaign hasn't understood it; but is more worrying is that people can only stand behind their voice in the wilderness or leave the belief of regime change. And giving up a 30 year regime and an Executive that has been there since 1986 is hard. Because of the ways the draconian laws and fiscal policies are set-up. That should give reason for the citizens to react with demonstrations and peaceful mobilizations in the ways of the VPN to defy the all-eating NRM and their in-accurate methods of silencing voices which isn't their own. Peace.

Chameleone is lost on his Leone Island; 2 days ago had good discipline as a tax-payer; today victim of not paying tax; time to take the boat from the Leone Island to reality
Something doesn't seem to connect right with this big-man of a musician. It's not often I comment on the matter of musicians anymore, since they don't act as foolish as the politicians now a-days, but today Jose Chameleone has decided to act strange and fictional in days apart. Let me explain in his owns words.
What you should also know that for 90 days he has been paid UGX 5m. Quick fix will make 40×5 is UGX 200m. And if he was on a 100 campaigns for NRM he was paid UGX 500m. That tells whey he should have extra pocket money right now, plus the monies he earned for studio-time recording "Tubonga Naawe" as a gig-song for the NRM party. First it is from a entertainment outlet with the initial start of the campaigns for the musicians, after that his words.
On the 17th October of 2015:
"Gives Shs 400 M to Musicians @ #'TubongaNaawe'Launch A number of Ugandan musicians last evening stormed Speke Resort Hotel Munyonyo where they had been invited to dine with President Museveni at the launch of the "Tumbonge Naawe" project. The artistes who attended the launch include Pallaso, Bebe Cool, Dr. Jose Chameleone, Kinga Saha, Mun-G, Gravity Omutujju, Comedian Ann Kansiime and Fashionista Brian Ahumuza commonly known as Abryans among others who were all clad in yellow, the color for the National Resistance Movement" (…)"The President also offered the artistes UGX 400M as a token of appreciation for their support" (Entertainment World, 17.10.2015).
Here it is his own words recently!
On the 3rd February of 2016:
"Don't stay home waiting for Heavens to find you in your sitting room discussing other people achievements because Miracles came like that in Jesus's time!!!! We are a generation where nothing like stones turns to bread.Young people should wise up and work so hard so their sweat bears fruits now!!!
Forget the #NIKEAIRMAGS
Thanks to the Almighty God.
In this picture another construction
"CHAMELEONE INVESTMENTS"
Good Financial Discipline from a dedicated Ugandan Tax Payer 😊
LEONE ISLAND TUGENDE TUKOLE"
On the 5th February of 2016:
"I have tried to air my concern about how short our peoples memory is and many have looked at it as a point worthless. The same people who wrote the story when I was inconvenienced by Uganda Revenue Authority Upon Tax are back again to use their words to disrupt peace within fellow comrades!!!! I simply stated that I am a dedicated Tax Payer and didn't call no ones name. We need to preserve respect for one another. Don't create Gaps between Artistes in Favour of your own interests.
However,We have all been Victims of Tax Payment!
LEONE ISLAND MUSIC EMPIRE"
This here tell the different between the ordinary and musicians, musicians can earn quick money, but not think about the tax man, while spending millions on sneakers and house. Why didn't you check about the money and tax for your car Dr. Jose Chameleone?
How are you the victim when you earn so much more monies then the average Ugandan, easily a 500m shilling in 90 days, and President Museveni has hold over 200 campaign rallies, so his sum could be even double, nearly tripled in that sense. But with the average one, he has earned a fortune on the campaign trail. That is why I can afford lots of new fancy house and shoes. While not notifying or securing the payment through his accountant, would that be to hard for you? That I am saying since you can afford so much other stuff without thinking. Peace.

UCC bans "Dembe" from Bobi Wine; Proves again the fear of other voices then from the NRM-Regime
The Ghetto President has released a new song who he has released in the last 48 hours ago. It have been rumored and circulated that it have been banned by the Uganda Communication Commission (UCC), the same brotherhood who banned Tamale Mirundi after his statement of support for Amama Mbabazi. They are yet another mouthpiece of the NRM-Regime. The song is a token of piece from an artist who won't be bought.
That is why you haven't heard him on the gig-song project of Bebe Cool with the all-star team for the song: "Tubonga Naawe" where they had the giant release and music video. And the most of them would also take a part of the campaign trail for Mzee. They are all getting money for service rendered on the behalf of the #VoteSsevo campaign trail.
Bobi Wine is sustainable and on his own. He is have been vital and political before as he we're when he released the song and video for "Time Bomb". Now he dropped this song and it's banned for TV and Radio. Which proves the fear that UCC have for anything… they didn't even like or approve the CCEDU voting education campaign in 2015. They are starting as narrow-minded in the 2016! Be proud you elected fools for Mzee, instead of free-thinking men something you could have been, but that train have left the station long time ago. Therefore you do this to show loyalty to him. But this song is generally going against the regime, it just want to spread the message of peaceful elections. Is there an issues with peaceful and elections when it comes to NRM-Regime, it seems like this! Peace.
BTW: Listen to the song and support Bobi Wine!

Kampala's renegade Police shuts down Lukwago speech of awareness
Today I will talk about the Kampala Capital City Authoriy and Kampala Metropolitian Police… they doesn't have it easy, because they have a painful history with a Mr. Erias Lukwago, he happen to be loved by the people. That kind of people is not the Police or the leaders of KCCA who is chosen by the NRM. Erias Lukwago is far from NRM and is a strong supporter and ally of Dr. Kizza Besigye and the FDC, even if he has been affiliated with Democratic Party (DP). Norbert Mao is now a part of Go-Forward Umbrella, so surely DP is not a strong unit. That is why that Erias Lukwago goes independent and the DP need a new candidate to run for the Mayor in Kampala. Let's take a look what the Police done today in the Central Business District of Kampala. Take a look!
Erias Lukwago message this morning:
"There's a Luganda adage that "Bwekataligilya elibiika amasumba"; literary meaning that if a chicken survives the claws and talons of hawks or other predators, there are high prospects that it will lay golden eggs. Kindly be part of a memorable occasion today at Nakasero Market Park yard at 2:00pm as we unveil the golden egg (vision) for the transformation of Kampala. I strongly believe that it's only a shared vision, rather than personal whims, that will transform Kampala into a modern capital city we all crave for. Hope to see you there".
UPF bans the incumbent Lord Mayor of Kampala Erias Lukwago from having a 2nd Inaguraral rally in Nakasero claiming the venue is for small the rally and will disprut the trading at the Nakasero Market. It would also be inconvenient for the traffic passing by and should look for another venue to have the rally. Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyango said: "We have been informed that he intends to hold a rally at Nakasero market but it is illegal and will not be permitted. The venue is not suitable because it is a market in the city centre that attracts many people, which would paralyze business,"He also said: "the youth to desist from participating in the unlawful rally saying those arrested will be taken to the court of law".
Even if the Police suspend the rally at Nakasero Market Park Yard the Erias Lukwago went there anyway despite to block this rally. There were also plans of Mulwana Team to escort them and support Erias Lukwago during his rally there. Today was the day that Erias Lukwago was supposed to introduce his manifesto for the 2016 Mayoral Election.
I am sure that Erias Lukwago is struggling because he is now running independently, but has support of the Forum for Democratic Change as becoming Mayor of Kampala again.
But the new Democratic Party Mayoral Candidate Issa Kikungwe launched his own campaign today as well, but that wasn't stopped by the Police like Erias Lukwago rally, the Candidate Kikungwe held a rally in Kawempe.
While this has happen Daniel Kazibe known as Ragga Dee who has been voted to be the NRM Mayoral Candidate of Kampala has said this:
"am not pleased with how Bebe Cool has handled issues regarding the artist's money from the President as some of the fellow artists on that project are still claiming for their shares. Have you accounted how much funds Bebe Cool spent for his wife's maternity fees last week and he is currently in South Africa shooting a video? Bebe Cool should responsibly come out and account for the shares to his fellow artists because it's officially confirmed that he received the funds from the president's office".
Bebe Cool retorted:
"I wonder why people always try to attack me, Ragga Dee said that I am greedy but the fact is, he is greedier than me. Let him not fool you that it's him who got the Tubonge project, it's me. I heard him saying that he took me to State House. I used to go to State House even when I was young and Museveni is like my uncle, so let him stop talking about what he doesn't know, he may lose the elections".
Ragge Dee wants to this if he wins the elections:
"I will first give musicians lessons on how to work together for a general cause and promote one love".
Daniel Kazibe aka Ragga Dee held his first rally in town yesterday without making any fuzz or having any problems with the fuzz. There must be something behind that! Wait, yes it is, he is a NRM guy, and therefore he can as he pleases, while the others have to fight to the same. That is democracy right now in Uganda!
It seems okay for Mr Kikungwe who can hold his rally, because he is seen not as threat to the KCCA and NRM, or am I wrong? Or is it because there is now official not written law that it's illegal to hold rallies in a Market in Kampala? Can the UPF and Kampala Metropolitan Police; please explain to a brother; why he is not really permitted? Can it be the most used law of 2015; no not the Tax-Evation laws! Nah it's not cool enough! I am talking about the POMA, the famous and most used law by IGP Gen. Kale Kayihura! Public Order Management Act, I am sure that used to stop Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago? Because he creates chaos for his popularity in stark contrast to the NRM-Candidate or other Opposition figures. Right? Yes, I am right!
Even Asuman Kiyingi [of the NRM] the State Minister of Works said this during November about the Kampala Mayoral Elections:
"On this one I agree with Ragga Dee. You can't do a wedding and then go for kwanjula. Or ask a class teacher to become a class prefect. How did we end up with a flag bearer for a position that we were not sure we needed. We should have spared our people the rancour and hussle of primaries if we planned a mayor elected from councillors. Just how far should we go to fix Erias Lukwago?"
For those who wonders why there is not an official endorsed Mayoral Candidate in Kampala from the FDC, that is because they has gone behind Erias Lukwago to show support for his candidature against the powerful NRM-Regime and also thanks for his loyalty towards Dr. Kizza Besigye which Lukwago has been behind since 'Walk to Work' riots in Kampala. So the sorry man in this tale is the Mayoral Candidate for FDC Miles Rwamiti Apuuli who will not be a man who you can vote for, since his candidacy has been pulled.
That means that the elections for Mayor will be Daniel Kazibe aka Ragga Dee (NRM), Erias Lukwago (Independent) and Issa Kikungwe (DP). The Police will be against Erias Lukwago which they have proven again, and again! And again, they hate that he stand against the Kampala Metropolitan Police and Kampala Capital City Authority, not to forget Jennifer Musisi thinks it easier to work without the annoying politicians, especially the likes of Lukwago who makes everything hard to put through, I think that is because he is one of them who wishes to have a loyal crony like Daniel Kazibe who can't even hold his tongue and win a discussion with the numb-nuts of Bebe Cool, who dances like a fool on every stage for Mzee and his NRM. The money is good for them both while Issa and Erias will fight against the musician.
Backup History (recent) on Daniel Kazibe:
For those of you have forgotten part of his past. Had in 2014 his own Mercedes Benz impounded by the URA (Uganda Revenue Authority), the musician had at that time forgotten to pay tax. Therefore until he could pay the missing funds of Shs. 1,5 Million to pay URA before he get his car back again. Also in 2014 the same Ragga Dee was reported to be part of the campaign for National ID cards and eating a great chunk of that fund, the fund that got missing remember? Well, Ragga Dee who had now eaten a big chunk by the fund for the National ID cards advertisement; which never happened… That is not the end of the eating money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was after this supposed to eat more money from it for making a recording which would be used to mesmerized the late Gen. Aronda Nyakarima. How much the whole tale cost the Tax Payer, will hopefully be released or found out. 2014 was a busy year for Daniel Kazibe.
Now we see how the UPF, Kampala Metropolitan Police and Electoral Commission work for making the campaign for Erias Lukwago as hard as possible. They are trying to stop it and make it harder than for other candidates trying to become mayor in Kampala. So this will continue because we all know the NRM-Regime and their "Freedom loving" Police, who is not "impartial" or "working against" any opposition member or party in general during these elections. No! No! No! They are not doing that… They are just showing care for the dangers that a rally of an opposition candidate will have at the Central parts of Kampala and will disturb business district of the City. Something that is dangerous to do… Wonder if it would be stopped if it was Daniel having a campaign rally at the same place? I don't think so. Peace.

Press Statement: Dear Ugandan voter and citizen you have the right to know what the Government in Power does with your hard earned Tax Money (22.10.2015)
Ugandans should be bold to ask tough questions. The committee in parliament on public accounts committe should come more often to account or expose the flaws in spending public money.
I would like President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the presidency department to account to the tax payers of this country the money he has spent in on foreign trips or travel since he become a head of state in 1986.
I recently approached protocal office at the Ugandan parliament with the intention to meet the president in person and put point blank the reasons I will never support him in this country. Among the issues our team wanted him to respond on was how much does he spend on frequent trips outside the country?
I was told I can't meet him because the head of state is booked from now to next year May for NRM party activities and trips around the globe.
I was frustrated and am still with the burning issues we had prepared to deliberate on.
Atleast in the last 30 days , the president was in Khartoum Sudan, was in Kenya Nairobi, was in Rome Italy, He was in New York ,Algeria and I think other countries.
The president's handlers should avail all the details on these trips sponsored by the Ugandan citizen and tax payers.
I guess the figures are exceedingly huge whereas civil servants and pensioners are not paid their little money, salaries/wages since July todate.
The children in Northern Uganda dieing because they can't have a plate of food to eat in 24 hours if not at the border with Tanzania in Rakai district there are tens and hundreds reported dead because of lack of food and water. Many of these dieing are mostly refugees that were expelled by the government of Tanzania a few years ago and were allowed into Ugandan territory hurriedly without any prior consultations with primary stakeholders.
The prime minister's office cut off supplying the refugee camp with food and water putting the lives of human beings in that camp at stake.
It was reported that men throw themselves in the nearby river to die instead of helplessly watching their loved ones starve to death.
The other day a couple of people called us saying we are not patritic because we referred to Mr. Yoweri Museveni the President of Uganda , his dim lieutenants and pals in government like Anite Evelyn, Kenneth Omona, Omondo Omondo, Namara , Kibuule , Hon.Ogwang and many others young or old government advisors as highly decorated opportunists Uganda has ever produced since time immomerial.
What justification can the whole band of "Tubonge Naawe" give to call for the commedians in luganda the"dikulas" of this country like Bebe Cool, Jose Chameleon , Juliana Kanyomozi and the entire crew of artistes that feasted with Mr. Museveni in Munyonyo luxury hotel last week wheras hundred of population starving in country supposed to be a basket of Africa???deaths of people within our borders due to lack of a mere plate of food and a mere glass of water to drink? Yet they gladly met to con Mr. Museveni under the auspice of NRM lady Anite Evelyn a minister in the current insensitive , elitest , lukewarm regime.
Uganda needs a third liberation, this time around by us Ugandans not foreigners like in the case of 1978/79 and 1981-1986 bush war that saw Rwandan commanders like Late Fred Rwigyema , Beingana, Bunyenyenzi, Katureebe , Kalegyeya and Gen. Kagame fighting and handing over power to rebel leader Yoweri Museveni. In 1979, unsung Tanzanian heroes liberated this country and handedover power to Ugandan renegades Yoweri Museveni inclusive.
So for one to really overstate that Yoweri Museveni is the father of this country, the liberator, the saviour and etc, like Anite Evelyn misleads the un informed Ugandans that is to be a pathetic and celebrated liar in modern times. The man was in sweden eating sauges when kampala fell and late Dr.Obote was overthrown by his very own solidiers , the Okellos and Milton ran to exile in to Zambia. The solidiers were later fooled by late Rwigyema led group and Salim Saleh to lose kampala to the NRA where Museveni outsmarted the NRM political wing and was sworn in as the junta leader of 1986. By now you can perfectly and orrectly understand why we said that Museveni is a highly decorated opportunist in Uganda.
We need the figures to see how much he spends on foreign presidential visits begging other countries to grant expensive loans to this nation since he become president and compare huge with the thorny challenges this country is bedevilled with .

A true crime television show highlighting past murder cases in Shreveport will return April 4 for a second season on Investigation Discovery.
"Murder Chose Me" focuses on former Shreveport Police Department homicide detective Rod Demery, highlighting murder cases he solved with SPD while also reflecting on how murder impacted his own life.
Demery's mother was murdered when he was 3 years old, and decades later his brother was convicted of a different murder and sentenced to life in prison.
The show tells the stories of murder cases Demery worked over 14 years with the Shreveport Police Department through dramatic re-enactments, interviews with real-life participants and Demery's narration.
The show's first season aired in the spring of 2017.
Demery told The Times last year that he received the opportunity to develop "Murder Chose Me" shortly after retiring from SPD in March 2016.
"It was incredibly humbling; I don't think I ever expected anything like that, and it's still kind of surreal that it's actually happening," Demery said. "It's definitely a dreamy experience."

Demery still works in Shreveport, serving as a special homicide investigator for the Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office.
Demery previously told The Times that he hopes the show helps humanize victims to viewers and brings the Shreveport community together in a positive way.
"I think locally the people should realize that Shreveport is a small community, and it's a very tight-knit community," he said. "When these things do occur, there will be more of a support system. Real pain and real tragedy bring us closer together."
Ten new episodes of the show, produced by Jupiter Entertainment, will air at 9 p.m. Wednesdays on Investigation Discovery beginning April 4.

No. 19: "Heathers" (1989)
Posted on January 8, 2010 by mcarteratthemovies
"It's one thing to want someone out of your life, but it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer." ~~Veronica Sawyer
"Hell is a teenage girl." It's inconceivable that Diablo Cody, when she penned that line for "Jennifer's Body," didn't have visions of Daniel Waters' caustic high school satire "Heathers" dancing in her head. With "Heathers," Waters did nothing if not create teen black comedies as we know them, spawning scads of wannabes and copycats. None have reached such dizzying and brutally comic heights. Pause and ponder, though — is that such a shock? With its inventive one-liners, shrewd observations of high school and its million pecking orders and outstanding characters, "Heathers" didn't set the standard; it became the standard.
Exactly how "Heathers" did that lies in smart, calculated execution of a very familiar and universal setting: high school. Ohio's Westerburg High School is a medieval torture chamber for students not popular enough to register on Heather Chandler's (a snarling-good Kim Walker) radar. And considering that the ubercool Chandler is essentially Idi Amin in off-white tights, that's everyone except timid Heather Duke (Shannon Doherty), ditzy Heather McNamara (Lisanne Falk) and brainy Veronica (Winona Ryder), the mute devotees who populate her social circle. Though all live in fear of Heather's wrath ("I'm worshiped at Westerburg and I'm only a junior," she observes astutely), only Veronica musters the courage to rebel — indirectly by dating precocious loner J.D. (Christian Slater) and more openly by challenging Heather at a college party (the iconic "lick it up" clip). Fed up with Heather's reign, Veronica goes along with J.D.'s "fake" plan to murder her best friend/worst enemy ("same difference," she notes) using a cup of liquid drainer. But something goes wrong, and Heather's off to the afterlife, presumably to take over, leaving Veronica in need of a cover story. J.D. obliges so quickly and readily we wonder how long he's been plotting this, then dreams up more deadly schemes. Waters pulls no punches with J.D., who comes off not as a harmless misfit but as a perceptive, smooth-talking sociopath with murder on the brain. He can coerce Veronica to do his bidding because he's that cunning.
That take-no-prisoners attitude extends to every aspect of "Heathers," really. Whether he's an ex-nerd with a vendetta or simply an imaginative writer with a flair for satire, Waters is vicious in his treatment of Westerburg's elite, particularly Heather Chandler, and Heather Duke (Doherty's enthusiasm is perversely infectious), who treats her leader's death as a stepping stone to her own coronation. Waters writes both Heathers as ruthless bitches, but with hints of depth. There's a throwaway scene early on where Chandler stares down her reflection in the mirror; somehow, she looks worn down by the duties attached to her position. When she dies, Duke steps in without pause. Can we blame her? She's running on years of insults and sublimated rage. Her ascension is a reminder that the tease of power turns the meekest of souls bad — an '80s retool of, like, that whole "absolute power" warning.
Waters tosses some hate grenades, too, at Westerburg's administrators, all as clueless as the ruling Heathers are evil. The principal (John Ingle) couldn't care less about the students' grief; his only concern is figuring out appropriate grief timetables. The P.C. guidance counselor (Pauline Fleming) goes the opposite route: She stages pointless, hand-holding love-ins in the cafeteria while never once offering real solace. Everyone's so self-absorbed that no one notices how phony the suicides are, or pays attention to the students in real pain, like overweight loner Martha Dunnstock (Carrie Lynn). Only Veronica, played with quippy horror by Ryder, and J.D. (this was back when Christian Slater really wanted to be James Dean), see through the B.S. Waters skewers the administrators to show the truth: They're not in charge, and they're too dumb to notice.
Though he's since fallen from grace (the hideous "Sex and Death 101"), "Heathers" proved that for one moment, Waters understood the nature of high school better than anyone. J.D. calls Westerburg "a school that self-destructed not because society didn't care, but because the school was society." That's wicked-deep. Anybody feel like a Slushie?

Education – May 4, 2013
Report Card: DOE Principals
Photo: David Croxford
Stacy Yuen
The most important person at a school is evaluated yearly on test scores, creating a good "school culture" and other factors
Principals say success depends on building a strong team and creating support within the community
Every day at Iroquois Point Elementary School in Ewa Beach, children who have done good deeds are invited to reach into principal Ofelia Reed's hand-sewn drawstring bag and pull out a colorful sticker.
Reed buys puffy-heart stickers by the hundreds and gives them out liberally to children and staff in appreciation of the positive actions she sees: purple for leadership, green for growth, blue for problem solving, red for spreading aloha, orange for encouragement and yellow for spreading sunshine.
"It's literally to encourage the kids that they're doing the right thing," says Reed. "They need to know they're individuals and someone cares for them. That actually creates a positive school climate, a culture of belonging."
Reed, in her first year at Iroquois Point, will not be evaluated on puffy heart stickers by her supervisors at the state Department of Education. But one of the things she will be evaluated on is the school culture she helps create. It was the school culture she helped build at Blanche Pope Elementary School that was one of her many successes there.
"That positive climate starts with you," says Reed. "The first year you go into a school, you're the one that's going to create the culture you want to see."
Reed is trying to replicate the success she had as principal at Waimanalo's Blanche Pope Elementary School. In seven years at Blanche Pope, she led the school to "Blue Ribbon" status, a national standard of excellence honoring schools that excel or significantly improve, although at least 40 percent of the students are classified as disadvantaged. At Blanche Pope, 67 percent of students are eligible for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program because of their families' incomes, compared to the state average of 42 percent. Under Reed's guidance, test scores at Blanche Pope improved greatly: In 2007, 21 percent of third-graders met or exceeded math standards, compared with 52 percent in 2010. At the same time, the number of third-graders who met or exceeded reading standards went from 35 percent to 70 percent. Scores also improved in grades four and five, though not as strongly, and there was some falloff in the 6th grade.
As a Blue Ribbon principal, Reed is one of Hawaii's educators who has reached the sweet spot of leadership that leads to exemplary student achievement and national recognition – results the DOE strives to instill and nurture everywhere. She did it at Blanche Pope by forging bonds and partnerships with Waimanalo community leaders, utilizing strengths already within the community, building a unified team at the school based on Hawaiian values, and grounding herself in a deeper understanding of poverty and its challenges, while becoming visible within the community as a caring agent of change.
But school culture isn't the only watchword of a principal's success. It's but one of five categories in the DOE's new system for evaluating its 289 public- and charter-school principals. The other four categories are:
Professional growth and learning;
School planning and progress;
Professional qualities and instructional leadership; and
Stakeholder support and engagement.
Assessments of these five areas make up half a principal's score; the other half is based on student scores from the Hawaii State Assessment tests. These are annual tests that have been administered in the spring and determine whether schools are making adequate yearly progress under No Child Left Behind standards. (This student testing process is now under revision, with a new process being piloted in about 75 schools. A revised test is planned statewide for 2014-15.)
Earlier this year, the DOE and the Hawaii Government Employees Association, the union that represents principals, agreed on this latest evaluation system. It's called the Comprehensive Evaluation System for School Administrators, CESSA, and it's part of an ongoing DOE initiative to strengthen Hawaii's public schools.
"We are not doing this just because of Race to the Top," deputy superintendent Ronn Nozoe says in an email. "We are doing this because our leaders and, ultimately, our students deserve this level of professionalism, and because it is the right thing to do … (the goal is) raising the bar in school leadership, which is critical to student achievement."
Both the department and union see the agreement as an accomplishment. "It's not so simple as saying that at school X you expect a 10 percent rise in achievement or the principal's a bum," says Randy Perreira, executive director of HGEA. "That's way too simplistic. It takes into account as many as possible of the different elements principals have to contend with, recognizing there are substantial challenges, sometimes outside their control."
The old evaluation system used an overall letter grade. The new system rates the five intangibles on a 1-5 system with the worst being "Unacceptable progress" and the best being "exceptional progress" during the interim years. The final grading scale is also 1-5, with Unsatisfactory being the lowest score and Highly Effective being the best. Under both systems, principals could be removed from their schools, which can mean a variety of things, including retirement or being reassigned to other jobs. Principals have lost their posts in the past, Nozoe says, and that can also happen under the new system.
But don't hold your breath. It will be five years before "summative" evaluations are done.
Training for principals is a crucial part of the system, says Perreira. For instance, the DOE's New Principals Academy provides a year of part-time, weekly training for new principals. The private sector has helped pay for training, including the Hawaii Business Roundtable. The Castle Foundation has paid for principal training and other support, largely in Windward Oahu schools.
Darrel Galera, a prize-winning former principal who heads the New Principals Academy, says there are five leadership programs designed specifically to train teachers, administrators, vice principals and new principals in leadership skills, including one that offers a specialized Administrator Certification for Excellence (ACE). Training occurs during the week, on weekends and in the summer. New principals are required to complete a yearlong new principals program, says Galera by email.

¡ Kelcy Koga is principal at Waiakea High School and one of the educators who helped create the new evaluation system for principals, which is called CESSA.
"In the ACE program, intern vice principals complete one year of residency, specified university coursework and weekend seminars focused on instructional leadership," he says. They must complete a second year of training to earn the certification.
Nozoe says the evaluation of Hawaii principals has always been based on the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium Standards, and the latest Hawaii system of evaluating principals is based on the newest version of the national standards. The assessment system was also guided by standards developed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
This year, 2012-13, is the first of a three-year rollout of the new evaluation system in Hawaii's public schools. It allows principals five years to show improvement at their schools. The agreement does not specify a one-size-fits-all level of achievement, but sets individual goals for each school. These goals take into consideration such things as the family incomes of the student population, past student achievement, the number of students who speak English as a second language and the number of students with special needs.
It also calls for the DOE to provide the support that principals need in order to be successful.
"This whole process does ask a lot of all the parties involved," Perreira says. "From the complex area superintendents' perspective, as well as the principals', it's a challenge."
There are 15 complex area superintendents in Hawaii, each overseeing about 20 to 25 schools. At the beginning of each year, principals and their CASs discuss goals, direction, vision and challenges. There are periodic follow-ups and a final meeting each year to assess progress on each principal's individual professional development plan.
"With the new document, you're looking at a principal's growth over five years," says Kelcy Koga, the principal of Waiakea High School in Hilo and a member of the committee that helped create CESSA.
"The school of thought is that it takes about five years to move a school toward positive change," he says. "… In just one year you can't really look at significant change. But over a period of years, you can look at various data points such as test scores, retention rate, graduation rate, and you see trends." It's that five-year perspective that is the most important improvement over the old evaluation system, Koga says.
Principals have many jobs: They set the tone of their schools and are responsible for student scores and progress, the contentment of the staff, the relationship and interaction with parents and the community, the upkeep of the facilities, plus the management of a complex budget process. They must be visible on campus, at school events and in the community, during the week and on weekends.
"Anything that pretty much goes wrong, it's usually the principal who they ask first," says Koga. "If there's a break-in, or anything, the police or the alarm company will call me first. I have cleaned up after a classroom got trashed. I've boarded up windows at 2 in the morning. I've been here the night before Thanksgiving when we had break-ins. It's never-ending."
Koga makes sure he's at all sporting events, sometimes shuttling from one to another. If it's a football game with a longtime rival school, he's definitely there.
"You want to make sure the crowd doesn't get out of hand. You're not really there to watch the game, you're worried about what's going on in the parking lot and you want to show presence there."
The new CESSA standards attempt to take all that into consideration by using the unique demographics of each school to evaluate its leader.
"Every school is different. It's not just a black-and-white world trying to run a successful school," Perreira says.
Irene Puuohau, field-services officer for bargaining unit 6 of HGEA, which represents 700 educational officers, notes that when principals are evaluated, the CASs are expected to consider the differences among schools, the communities they serve and the type of students within each school. That individualization was missing from the past evaluation process, she says.
"In addition, there are systems of support that need to be in place to ensure every school is successful. There also needs to be a systematic means to share information," she says. Committees that include the principals and the area's Board of Education member are designed to provide feedback from the field on how well the system is working. That will likely mean changes to the CESSA over time. "It's meant to be a fluid document and one that we know, through the years, we may have to change as initiatives and expectations change," Puuohau says.
Principals say the way to make improvements is different at each school. At Nuuanu Elementary School, principal James Toyooka says he's constantly pushing for improvement, even though up to 90 percent of his students are meeting or exceeding proficiency in the two main subjects being tested, reading and math.
Toyooka was cautious when he took over Nuuanu seven years ago. He says he spent the first year learning the culture and assessing strengths and weaknesses.
"For me it took at least four years to move forward," he says. "The first year you look around, get a feel for it, and try not to aggravate anybody. I've seen some people go in with a buzz-saw and end up cutting off their legs. You've got to trim with garden sheers. At the opening, you don't know who the good teachers are. You move in baby steps on what needs to be improved. If you trust the teachers, they're more open so they can talk to you and make suggestions, and that comes in years two and three."
Toyooka discovered that Nuuanu essentially just had basic classroom teachers, with no support staff, not even a curriculum coordinator. He got one on board, along with a good student-services coordinator. The curriculum coordinator met regularly with teachers – something the principal rarely had time to do – to discover and plug holes in the curriculum; the student services coordinator recognized more students with special needs. "My new SSC recognized them early and got them the help they needed," Toyooka says.
Then, he hired two part-time teachers to work with small groups of students on specific needs.
As Toyooka worked within the school, Nuuanu's already-high test scores began to go higher. Within a few years, they jumped from a flat line of 75 percent to 80 percent of students meeting or exceeding proficiency to well above 85 percent. Reading scores, in particular, shot up.
"That is always a weak area at most schools," Toyooka says. "So I hired a part-time teacher for that. Now we're in the low 90s in the reading area. … Having help in the lower grades helped when the kids got older."
Toyooka says one of the keys to his success as a principal has been the high quality of his support staff. "They're not afraid to tell me, 'Yes, do this,' or 'No, don't do that,' " he says. "If you try to do everything yourself, that's kind of nuts.
"I always stop and think of John F. Kennedy and what made him a great president. It wasn't just him. He had a heck of a support staff."
James Toyooka, principal Nuuanu Elementary School
No one is more aware of the need for teamwork than Reed. At both her current school, Iroquois Point, and her previous one, Blanche Pope, she needed strong support from community foundations and community leaders to build a strong culture. That support must be never ending, she says.
"In order for principals to be evaluated fairly, the resources also need to be available," Reed says. "If we don't have the resources to make it happen, it's going to be hard. And I'm not talking just about funding sources, but bringing in experts within the fields. Teachers are not all trained to be mathematicians and engineers and science experts. We need the personnel to provide us with the support so we can train the teachers in these areas.
"That's why Blanche Pope School moved forward. It was a partnership for three years, in the beginning, through the Castle Foundation. They paid for the training. But eventually you have to be able to sustain it. You have to build it into your financial plan. If you're not able to sustain that professional development, all that goes to waste."
Reed believes a principal is wise to begin by building strong relationships within the school so everyone knows they're valued and their ideas are important. Then the principal moves outward, to connect with the community.
"It was the Waimanalo togetherness team," she says. "It was all these different organizations within Waimanalo coming together monthly to meet and talk about what they were doing to promote healthy relationships, and find ways students at risk would have opportunities to put their energies into other things.
"We were able to tap into some of the services like the youth programs, the health services, the sports programs. It was also about finding ways to go beyond giving awards for attendance but awarding children for their efforts, and giving awards that were more about honoring their work, and honoring everyone who showed gains."
All that took seven years. Seven years of consistent training, consistent encouragement, consistently attending meetings, consistently forging her staff into a family that stepped up to meet the needs – even if it didn't happen to be their job.
At Blanche Pope, Reed says, the staff became so cohesive that the custodians, cafeteria workers and office staff felt empowered enough to plan school fundraisers and oversee students on the playground, in the cafeteria and after school.
"Everyone's ideas, everyone's experience are valued," Reed says. "When all of us are valued, we all have things to offer."
Three years ago, Blanche Pope made Adequate Yearly Progress gold-star status under No Child Left Behind. It meant every child was moving forward and there were strong gains in student achievement.
"It's because everyone was working together," Reed says. "… You have everyone being accountable and working together as a team at every grade level."

India's economy is supported by a massive informal work sector. This category of work provides income for millions of poor people in urban areas. Included in this group is over 10 million street hawkers (vendors) throughout India's major cities who use entrepreneurial means to make a living. Until the Indian parliament enacted The Street Vendors Act, 2014, their work had limited legal protection.
The act provided social security and livelihood rights to street hawkers, but many of them still have limited knowledge of the protection their are entitled to. This is the problem were are planning to address within a community of street hawkers in Bangalore, India.
Social organization at the community level is one of the most effective ways to facilitate collective action against injustice. In combination with information technology tools, it has the potential to give representation to communities that would otherwise be unheard or ignored. The technological disparity in India makes it difficult to employ this method; most people who wish to organize their communities lack access to or knowledge of information technology. ACORN India is an organization based in Bangalore which is helping street hawkers in their efforts to organize. Although they are making great progress without it, a framework of IT/communication tools would improve their ability to communicate with and keep track of their over 35,000 members.
Alongside ACORN India and Suresh Kadashan, an individual who helped push the protection act to the national parliament, we will introduce a variety of IT tools and teach the necessary knowledge to those who will be managing them. Our planned solution is to customize a constituent relationship management (CRM) software to catalog member information and set up a communication/file-sharing platform for organization staff. Two of our members will teach the necessary skills for using these tools to staff members over a 6 week trip to Bangalore and learn about the needs of street hawkers by traveling to various major markets. Preparation for our project is underway and will be completed within June, implementation will span from July to August, and the follow-up/debrief segment will be completed during September.
The money we hope to raise from this campaign will go towards room and board expenses for 2 people staying in Bangalore for 6 weeks. Any donation amount is appreciated and will help us ensure that our project is successful.

These changes, in turn, also present opportunities for leaders with career agility. To thrive, you need to be open to exploration, unafraid of novelty, and willing to invent your own path. You need to have career agility in order to rise to ever-shifting challenges.
What Does Career Agility Mean?
Long gone are the days of keeping the same job throughout your working life. Instead, most people can expect to change jobs an average of 15 times in their working lives. This means they may advance at their current companies, change employers, or transition into a new career vertical entirely.
At the same time, professionals are expected to live longer than previous generations, which could mean they'll also continue working later in life. Because of globalization and the Information Age, workers are also expected to acclimate to an evolving array of technological tools, from intelligent machines and sensors to synthetic biology. How, then, can we foster and develop an agile mindset, which becomes increasingly necessary with every advance?
Professionals today need to accept the possibility of a seemingly non-linear transition. Those who prepare for this reality are able to adapt to an ever-changing market, new technology, and unexpected opportunities.
How Can You Develop Career Agility?
1. Take control of your career.
Too many of us rely on chance when making our career decisions. A position opens, so we decide to put our names in the ring. For example, you might be offered a promotion, so you decide it "should" be the next step in your career. But what do you really want? What have you identified as an up-and-coming opportunity that genuinely excites you?
In the book Disrupt Your Career: How to Navigate Uncharted Career Transitions and Thrive, INSEAD MBA graduates Antoine Tirard and Claire Harbour share 44 stories from global business leaders who have made radical transitions in their professional lives.
Harbour and Tirard describe this ability to self-direct as "commitment" and "control." They advocate for professionals to "probe your options and examine them with care and focus. By anticipating the moves you could make, you are more likely to make better choices."
Control, in turn, means that you should stop relying on happenstance in your career moves.
2. Widen your circle.
What if you can't think of other career paths outside the opportunities you've already explored? INSEAD recommends connecting with others who can tell you about exciting trends and new occupations.
Harbour and Tirard call this quality "curiosity"— asking yourself what avenues you can explore to find novel opportunities. They also advise that you build connections without putting limits on who might be most valuable. You never know when a person or experience will spur a lightbulb moment.
3. Rise to the challenge.
Adversity is inevitable—but learning from those experiences separates the average employee from an agile business leader. Do your best to welcome a challenge and come away more with more "creativity, resourcefulness, and self-confidence" as a result (Harbour and Tirard).
4. Optimize your personal brand.
When you're ready to make a change, identify the skills and experience you need to qualify for a new role. If you're choosing an unconventional career transition, learn how to leverage your skills and work history to highlight your key differentiators from an existing market. Making a successful career change doesn't have to mean starting from scratch.
5. Believe in yourself.
You need confidence to make a career transition. You're forging a new direction instead of following the path laid out in front of you. Trust that you'll overcome hardship and emerge on the other side with more clarity and purpose.
Cultivate Your Career Agility Skills
Taking control of your career begins by committing to your own growth and development. Agility can be cultivated if you seize the opportunities to foster it through both formal and informal educational frameworks. With the world changing at a faster pace than ever before, investing in developing your agility can provide returns for the rest of your career.

A Guide To The 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites In Bangladesh!
Categories Bangladesh
Bangladesh is well known for its extraordinarily lush river landscapes, vibrant culture, and chaotic urban spaces. Fittingly, Bangladesh is also home to three of the more than 1,000 World Heritage Sites worldwide, as inscribed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Bangladesh's captivating UNESCO sites range from the iconic Sundarbans, and the spectacular historic mosque City of Bagerhat and the far-flung Ruins of the Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur.
Bangladesh isn't on the tourist trail like Vietnam, Malaysia, or Nepal, so when you visit its world heritage sites, you'll find yourself amongst only the most persistent of travelers.
UNESCO is a bureau of the United Nations that endeavors to support the protection and growth of the world's intellectual and cultural property and elects UNESCO sites due to their "outstanding universal value" in science, history, or culture. As a result, UNESCO Sites are meaningful to the mutual interests of humanity – and legally guarded by international treaties.
Travel influenced by UNESCO sites enables visitors to explore secret spots, aid preservation, obtain specific knowledge about the history of Earth and humanity – and wonder at unequivocally majestic sites.
While a few such as the iconic Komodo Islands and the grand Sydney Opera House are famous around the world, there are far more untouristy UNESCO sites worthy of insertion in any 'off-the-beaten-track' bucket list.
Inscriptions settle into two categories: cultural and natural locations, or a combination of both (mixed). There are currently 3 UNESCO world heritage sites in Bangladesh, two cultural ones and one natural one, and one mixed. There are also some incredible tentative UNESCO sites in Bangladesh we will cover briefly – for the more adventurous travelers.
So, why not immerse yourself in one or more of these sites on your next Bangladesh vacation? From breathtaking natural wonders to unprecedented feats of human engineering, check out the exhaustive list of Bangladesh UNESCO sites to determine which places resonate with you. You can then use them as a roadmap for the trip of a lifetime.
Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat
Ruins of the Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur
Cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites In Bangladesh
The Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat world heritage site in the Bagerhat District of south-west Bangladesh comprises several mosques constructed throughout the 15th-century Bengal Sultanate, of which the Sixty Dome Mosque is the largest. Bagerhat is considered to be part of the cultural heritage of the world as it provides remarkable testimony of medieval city, which quickly developed at the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.
The old city, previously known as Khalifatabad, flourished on the south southern bank of the ancient river Bhairab in the 15th century BC. It stretched for around 50 square kilometers, comprises some of the most important buildings from the beginning phases of the spread of Bengal Muslim architecture.
These buildings include about 360 mosques, tombs, memorials, bridges, water tanks, roads, and public buildings assembled from baked brick – something that was not a commonly used building material at the time.
The formulation and creation of this mosque city over just a few short years is incredible enough. What is even more astonishing is that it was subsequently abandoned to the jungle not long after the death of its founder in 1459. This makes it one of the world's great 'lost cities' among others, such as Sarmisegetuza Regia in Romania, Chichen Itza in Mexico, or Tikal in Guatemala.
The frequency of Islamic religious monuments found here speaks to the zeal of Khan Jahan, as goes the engraved inscription on his tomb. The absence of defenses at Bagerhat is also curious and ascribable to the feasibilities of retreat into the thick mangrove swamps of the Sunderbans.
The status of the infrastructures – the supply and removal of water, the cisterns and reservoirs, the roads and bridges – all exhibit a complete mastery of city planning techniques and a yearning towards spatial regulation.
The masterpieces of Indo-Islamic architecture were re-discovered by the British in 1895 and since then have been somewhat disentangled from the vegetation. In 1982, UNESCO created a masterplan for the conservation and ongoing exploration of the Bagerhat area, and it became a World Heritage Site not long after. More than 50 buildings have been classified so far in two distinct zones, including the Sixty Dome Mosque and the mausoleum of Khan Jahan.
There is a fascinating museum onsight, and most of the mosques can be explored in a few hours. As one of the top attraction in Bangladesh, Bagerhat is included on many tours, but you can also get here with local buses which run from Khulna regularly or Mongla with a connection.
Located in the north-west of Bangladesh in the Naogaon district, the ruins of the Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur are all that remains of a Buddhist monastic complex at the heart of the ancient Varendra nation. Today the ruins constitute the most dramatic and consequential pre-Islamic monument in Bangladesh.
The first constructor of the monastery was Dharmapala Vikramshila (770-810AD), the king of Varendri-Magadha, whose name is recorded on a clay seal found in the monastery compound.
The monastery is designed as a large square quadrangle with the central imposing entrance structure. The exterior walls are produced by a series of cells that face inwards to the central shrine in the complex's cruciform courtyard. In the monastery's ultimate construction phases, over 170 of these cells and a terraced superstructure rose three terraces to an imposing 70 feet tall. At the base of the shrine, there are over 60 terracotta sculptures represented a variety of Hindu divinities.
These, along with inscriptions, tell us about the cultural and religious life. Sometime in the second half of the 12th century, this great Vihara was abandoned, seemingly amid the great unrest and displacement resulting from the Muslim invasion rather than any one event. Today UNESCO works closely with Bangladeshi authorities to preserve the site for future generations through problems including lack of proper maintenance, fund constraints, and corruption consistently plague such effort.
Still, the Ruins of the Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur today is the single most dramatic and magnanimous monument in Bangladesh and the second largest single Buddhist monastery south of the Himalayas.
A worthwhile world heritage site to visit, visits can be organized with most tour companies in Bangladesh or solo with a bus from Jaipurhat or Paharpur. The Jamalganj Railway Station is also only 4.5 kilometers away.
Natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites In Bangladesh
The Sundarbans is the most significant surviving mangrove forest globally and among the world's most biologically active habitats. The forest and rivers along the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers across India and Bangladesh host a wide variety of wildlife, including many endangered species.
The extensive tidal mangrove forests of Bangladeshs' Sundarbans Forest Reserve, is in reality, a mosaic of islands of different shapes and sizes, perennially washed by brackish water that swirls in and around the endless and mind-boggling labyrinths of water channels.
This mangrove natural environment continues to support the biggest number of tigers in the world who adapt to an almost amphibious life. Tigers of the Sundarbans can swim for long distances and feed on fish, crabs, and water monitors lizards — behaviors not common in tigers elsewhere in the world, including in the Ranthambore National Park.
Sadly, tigers here are also known as "man-eaters," perhaps because of the reasonably high number of interactions with residents who share the land with them.
The Sunderbans' island terrain is of extreme economic importance to millions in the surrounding areas. They provide ecosystem services such as storm barrier protection and shore stabilization, fertilizer, and sediment trapping.
They are also incredibly important as a source of wood and natural resources, which is becoming increasingly challenging to sustain along with the wide variety of marine, benthic and terrestrial species that rely on the Sunderbans for habitat.
The Sunderbans are a prime example of ecological mechanisms taking place such as monsoon rain, delta development, tidal impact, and plant colonization.
The region of approximately 133,010 ha is calculated to constitute about 55% forest land and 45% wetlands in the form of tidal rivers, canals, and giant estuarine mouths. It is stated that roughly 66% of the entire mangrove woodland area is in Bangladesh, with the remaining 34% in India.
While the ongoing ecological integrity of the Sunderbans is of concern, a visit to this fantastic UNESCO site in Bangladesh not only allows you an opportunity to come face to face with tigers — but also to promote ecotourism and help converse this tremendous place for future generations.
There are many tour options for different budgets and interests – as you would expect for one of the country's top tourist attractions.
Interestingly when the Indian Sundarbans were recorded in 1987, it was proposed that the site be extended to include the (larger) Bangladesh Sundarbans. Later, when the Bangladeshi Sunderbans got inscribed in 1997, it was again recommended that the two sections be merged into one trans-national UNESCO site as is conventional.
However, international cooperation was not forthcoming for whatever reason, and now the Sunderbans are listed as two distinct UNESCO sites despites being similar ecologically. The only major difference is that the Bangladesh Sunderbans is more saline as salinity increases from east to west across the Sundarbans.
And there you have it—all of the world heritage sites in Bangladesh. Hopefully, you have learned something about this country's history already through these sites. Maybe some of them have even inspired your future travels.
If you get the opportunity to visit, please make choices that encourage the protection of these special places for future generations. This includes consideration of the transport you take in Bangladesh, along with which Bangladeshi tour companies you choose to support.
If you haven't quite had enough, Bangladesh also has tentative UNESCO sites which it has proposed but has yet to be ratified. These may or may not be included at a future date but are very telling in that they are what each country considers to be its cultural and/or natural heritage of outstanding universal value.
They typically are worthy candidates for inscriptions and should be of interest for adventurous travelers who want to explore under-the-radar spots before they become touristy. For Bangladesh, these tentative sites are:
Mahansthangarh and its Environs – One of the earliest urban archaeological ruins discovered in Bangladesh containing the remains of an ancient city that dates back to at least 300 BC.
The Lalmai-Mainamati Group of monuments – A collection of around fifty archaeological sites that depict an influential religious and political center without parallel in the subcontinent. It seems to have been the spiritual center from which Buddhism was spread across South East Asia.
Lalbagh Fort – An incomplete 17th-century Mughal fort complex in Dhaka. Most of the fort has since been built over and is now surrounded by modern buildings, but it is nevertheless a fascinating place to explore.
Halud Vihara – An archaeological site that appears to be little more than a mound currently. It is proposed to be included in the existing World Heritage Site of Somapura Mahavihara at Pahapur.
Jaggadala Vihara – Another archaeological site proposed to be included in the existing World Heritage Site of Somapura Mahavihara at Pahapur.

More cowbell!
By BY
Over on The Morning News, there's an article on how music soothes the savage beasts -- okay, not really savage. The author likes to sing to cows, and they like it right back. Apparently, music makes cows produce more milk. Judging by the two studies he cites, cows' tastes are as sedate as your parents': They don't like Lynyrd Skynyrd, but they do rock out to "Everybody Hurts" and (unsurprisingly) Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony." For the younger, hipper cow, however, here's a more up-tempo playlist:

Hossa doesn't think the coach's challenge is "good for the league"
By Joey AlfieriFeb 6, 2016, 12:25 PM EST
Marian Hossa isn't a fan of the coach's challenge.
The veteran winger ripped the NHL's new challenge system after he had a goal called back in Thursday's game against Arizona.
–To watch the overturned goal, click here.
"I thought that was [a] joke," Hossa said, per the Sun-Times. "I tried to battle in front of the net and I don't have any intention to touch the goalie, just try to battle through two guys and put the puck in the net. I don't know what's going to happen in the playoffs, if there's going to be calls after calls after calls. But I don't think it's good for the league."
The goal was called back because as Hossa was battling in front, he got tangled up with goaltender Louis Domingue's stick.
It's safe to say that Joel Quenneville wasn't pleased with the decision:
Quenneville does not agree with the overturned goal cc @_DaveMelton pic.twitter.com/EY0PaGr7m7
— Stephanie (@myregularface) February 5, 2016
One of the main criticisms of the challenge system is that the review is conducted on a small tablet by the referees on the ice instead of someone in a war room in Toronto or New York.
Every time a goal is disallowed, the NHL writes a blog explaining why the decision was made.
Here's what they said about the call on Hossa:
The Referee determined that Hossa interfered with Domingue before the puck crossed the goal line. According to Rule 78.7, "The standard for overturning the call in the event of a 'GOAL' call on the ice is that the Referee, after reviewing any and all available replays and consulting with the Toronto Video Room, determines that the goal should have been disallowed due to 'Interference on the Goalkeeper,' as described in Rules 69.1, 69.3 and 69.4."
Therefore the original call is overturned – no goal Chicago Blackhawks.
Do you think the referee got the call right?


According to Wall Street Journal, Dell might be prepping a hot new smartphone, that packs a touchscreen and may arrive in two flavours: Android and Windows Mobile. This is just one of a long series of brands that have decided to go the handset way and showcase their products at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2009.
Just a couple of days ago, Acer announced its intention to enter the smartphone biz, through a surprise release of an uber-device, while i-mate plans to use the acquired E-Ten company and their experience in order to pull out a brand new product.
Since Dell has to be content with being number 2, as far as the PC business goes, as HP is the most important computer manufacturer, they might expand their area of expertise, under the supervision of Michael Dell.
The inspirational man returned to the company he founded in 2007, in order to help it evolve and expand. Back to the Dell device, everyone's expecting a touchscreen wonder with Android board and maybe even some Nvidia action, in order to compete with those hot HTC smartphones that will rock the industry this year and of course the iPhone.
