Author: Dear Mr. Dalai Lama
Greetings.
Sir,
As know very well, about the worst form of genocide of Muslims by the Buddhists in Myanmar (Burma), which has shamed the Nazi German genocide of the humanity, during the World War II.
However, now there are reports from Sri Lanka, as well, where Buddhists every now and then indulge in atrocities and discriminatory violence, against Muslims.
Sir, Muslims and Buddhists are peaceful people who abhor violence in its every manifestation.
As such, you are requested to kindly immediately intervene personally, to stop spread of violence against the Muslims by the Buddhists, anywhere in the world, lest this situation may not go out of hands.
Love begets love.

How happy is your organisation..?
By Junaid Tahir
It’s a known fact that the efficiency of any organization is concretely linked with the work satisfaction index of the employees. You can hire good people by tough hiring criteria, you can ensure their attendance by installing time-in and time-out devices; you can ensure their availability on their desk by close monitoring through IP cameras etc however you cannot guarantee or enhance their creativity index, their efficiency and their loyalty factor by all these policing techniques. While most of the entrepreneurs want their teams to be the most effective ones and even they want them to move from effectiveness to greatness (as Stephen Covey tells in his book ‘The 8th Habit’) but least of them take the real effective actions in order to achieve the same.
In order to have highly collaborative and creative teams there should be an environment where teams should love what they are doing. Every morning if an employee while coming to office is enthusiastic and charged about the day, then he will make things happen. However if he is coming to office with sad heart or negative attitude then you have already half lost the project. So the point is that a culture of friendliness and trust needs to be ensured. Encouragement and consistent gratitude needs to be in place since it acts as a fuel and empowers the acceleration of the teams and the project tasks. Below are some of the points you must consider for the sake of monitoring the happiness and satisfaction index of your organization:
1- When was the last time you did an anonymous company-wise survey to seek feedback from each of the employee? What was the score?
2- One of the known questions from Gallup® is that “Do you have a best friend at work?” Being in-charge of your organization when did you noticed last time about any employees who don’t have their best friends at work? If yes, what have you done with your empathic skills to judge this and then took any action to nourish the culture of friendliness?
3- Do you have a rewarding culture in your company? Do you give spot awards, appreciation certificates, monetary rewards, free coupons or professional trainings?
4- Your employees are like batteries, do you measure their ‘charge level’. Remember your mobile battery icon becomes yellow and red when charge level is 25% and 10%? Same is the case with employees. You need to have close observatory and emotional intelligence and analytical skills to monitor such things.
5- Do you ensure that your employees have a great work-life balance? Are they stress free (work related stress) on weekends? Are they over loaded or under loaded or rightly loaded? Are your managers and team leads capable of assigning the right task to the right person?
6- Do you have family like environment where employees share their emotions, concerns and jokes? Do they laugh/smile while working (not applicable for customer facing employees)? Did you plan any family level or team level get together or any other team building activities?
I believe with the above recommendations you can observe, analyze and eradicate the most common causes of disengaged employees and eventually increase the productivity of the organization.
A final comment is that you should not treat your employee only as a physical human being, instead treat him as a compound of body, heart, mind and soul. Stephen R Covey recommends that once you start behaving according to this philosophy, employees start generating great results for the organization. If you would like to explore more on this, “The 8th Habit” book is the rich source of knowledge and wisdom; Google it to learn more.

Pakistani Brazuca has better aerodynamics than Jabulani: NASA
By AFP Published (Express Tribune): June 15, 2014
The Brazuca consists of six panels all covered in tiny bumps and was produced after two and a half years of testing. Adidas also shifted manufacturing of the ball to Pakistan.
LOS ANGELES: The official 2014 World Cup game ball, the Pakistan-built Brazuca, has better aerodynamics than the 2010 version, the Jabulani, NASA said after conducting tests.
Players complained the official Jabulani ball from four years ago was too unpredictable – a result of the almost perfectly smooth design, which meant that the airflow over the ball pulled it in unpredictable directions.
Although some strikers were able to take advantage of the trait, the erratic trajectory drew complaints from goalkeepers who had trouble gauging where to block.
With memories of 2010 still fresh, Adidas – which designed and manufactured both balls – worked to create a more predictable piece of sports equipment this time around with the ball being produced in Pakistan.
“Adidas spent two and a half years developing and refining the ball, making it the most tested ball we have ever created,” the company wrote in a product description posted on the FIFA website, where the balls sell for $160 each.
“The Brazuca uses a groundbreaking six-panel design, which improves symmetry, uniformity and efficiency,” it said, adding that the “evolutionary panel shape creates flight speed and enhances roundness.”
The seams around the panels are deeper in the Brazuca than in the 2010 ball, NASA said, and the panels are covered in tiny bumps – all designed to direct the airflow around the ball to help it move faster and straighter.
“There is a thin layer of air that forms near the ball’s surface called the boundary layer, and it is the state and behavior of that layer that is critical to the performance of the ball,” explained Rabi Mehta, chief of the Experimental Aero-Physics Branch at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California.
The tiny bumps and deep seams disturb that layer of air, Mehta said, which reduce the low-pressure wake behind a ball that slows it down.
He demonstrated the effect in a wind tunnel in the lab, releasing laser-highlighted smoke over the ball at different wind speeds to demonstrate the flow patterns.
“What we are looking for in the smoke patterns is at what speed the smoke patterns suddenly change,” remarked Mehta.
For the 2014 ball, that effect happens at speeds of around 30 miles (48 kilometers) per hour – and is much less noticeable at 50 to 55 miles per hour, the typical kick speed of a World Cup player.
The reverse was true of the 2010 ball, Mehta said.
“The players should be happier with the new ball,” he predicted.
“It is more stable in flight and will handle more like a traditional 32-panel ball.”

Conflict Resolving
By Junaid Tahir:
Resolving conflicts whether in office, in friends community or at home is a challenge. The situation sometimes get worst when nobody shows the flexibility on his/her stance. The below tips might help when you have been assigned (Or you assign it to yourself) to resolve the conflict.
1- Be fair regardless of your relation with different parties. Sometimes your closed one can be wrong. Hence make up your mind to be transparent and fair throughout. Judge people fairly.
2- Empathetic Listening is very important. Listen to all parties carefully. Put yourself in their shoes to understand their stance.
3- Carefully analyze the statements from each party. List down the pros and cons of the stance from each party. Sometimes both parties are right and sometimes both are wrong. In your analysis you need to find the option which gives maximum benefit to everyone. Article written by Junaid.Tahir
4- If the conflict is between two persons, consider a solution which neither party-A has proposed, neither B. Propose third solution which suits both persons. Consider Win-Win scenario where everyone gains something at the cost of compromise.
5- If you want to give advice to a party (which you think is wrong), give it privately. Don’t do counseling when both are present. This will offend one party and may strain the relations further. Remember not to criticise. Article written by Junaid.Tahir
6- Sometimes youngsters are right and old ones are wrong. If the issue is not too serious, request youngsters to be flexible. It always pay off. Remember that we have learnt so much from our seniors (bosses, team leads, parents and other senior family members). So this is the time to pay back to make them feel proud about their teachings and to develop trust in relations.

Gujrat: Father sells twin daughters to pay off hospital dues
Last Updated On 14 June,2014 About 2 hours ago
Hospital dues worth Rs 32,500 were pending against the family.
GUJRAT (Web Desk) – A poor father sold his twin daughters to pay hospital dues worth Rs 32,500, Dunya News reported on Saturday.
As per details, Nadra Bibi, wife of Bilal Khan was admitted to Ali Clinic and Maternity Home for delivery. The private hospital is situated in Jalalpur Jattan area.
After birth of twin girls, dues worth Rs 32,500 were pending against the family.
Later, a hospital employee identified as Sultana Bibi suggested them to sell their babies to clear the hospital bill.
The hospital administration allegedly finalised their deal with unknown persons in return of thousands of rupees and got thumb impressions of girls’ father Bilal Khan on a plain paper as a guarantee.
Doctor Rizwan said the girls were sold by their parents. He was informed about the reality later and only medical bill was charged from the parents.
On the other hand, the parents claim that they are unaware of the total amount given in return of their daughters.
