Noh Alam Shah as one of the best forwards in south East Asia, Alam Shah was a member of the Singapore national football when it won the ASEAN football championship (formerly known as the 'Tiger Cup') in 2005 and 2007. At the 2007 competition, he was the top individual scorer and was named the 'Most Valuable Player' of the tournament. At club level, he was a member of the tampines rovers team which won Singapore's s.league in 2004 and 2005.

In a 2007 ASEAN Football Championship group stage match between Singapore and Laos, Alam Shah scored 7 goals in an 11-0 win for Singapore. This was not only a record win for the Singapore national team, but also a record number of goals scored by an individual player in an 'A' international game for Singapore. Singapore went on to win the championship, and Alam Shah received the 'Most Valuable Player' award for his impressive displays in the tournament.

Noh Alam Shah joined Tampines Rovers He helped the Stags win the S.League title in 2004 and 2005. In 2007, he scored a late goal against Liaoning Guangyuan to become the first player to score 100 goals for the club. The tally came from 88 goals in the league and 12 goals in the domestic cup competitions.

Bullish and enthusiastic, Alam Shah is perhaps best remembered for his dramatic late equaliser against Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier in 2001.

With his swashbuckling style and never-say-die commitment upfront, he is a firm favourite with the fans despite a volatile temper that has gotten the better of him numerous times in the past.

The Tampines Rovers striker has worked hard to keep his temper in check though, and has put a past full of foibles behind him as well, winning an S.League title with the Stags in 2004.

In 2005, Alam Shah went to first, Notts County and later, Skonto Riga for trials but unfortunately the deal fell through.

Adolf hitler

a. Birthdate and death date..how old were they when they died?

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20^th 1889 in a small Austrian town called Braunau, near to the German border.

Adolf Hitler led Germany throughout world war two. Adolf Hitler killed himself on April 30th, 1945 - just days before Germany's unconditional surrender. Berlin was about to fall to the Russians and defeat for nazi Germany was obvious. Hitler had no intention of letting the Russians capture him and putting him on trial - hence his suicide. 

b.What did they achieve?

He started World War Two in Europe. He claimed Germany needed more living space so he marched into Germanic countries with no apprehensive actions. Then officially started the war with the invasion of Poland. He continued occupying Sweden, Norway, Luxemburg, France, Belgum, Finland, Netherlands, Czecoslovakia, Romania, Austria, Hungary, Lithuania, Lativia, Estonia, Ukraine, Belo-Russia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece and Parts of Morraco, Algeria, Libia, Turkey and united with Italy (and its provinces) and Japan.

c. Describe their family background.

Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in barunau am inn, austria hungary, the fourth of Alois and kara hitler's six children. Hitler was close to his mother, but had a troubled relationship with his father, an authoritarian who frequently beat him. Years later, he told his secretary: "I then resolved never again to cry when my father whipped me. A few days later I had the opportunity of putting my will to the test. My mother, frightened, took refuge in front of the door. As for me, I counted silently the blows of the stick which lashed my rear end."

He was a poor student, which he later attributed to rebellion against his father, who wanted his son to follow in his footsteps as a customs official.

d.  How does 'history judge them'.   What does that mean?  Is it fair?

In 1913, he moved to Munich and, on the outbreak of World War One, enlisted in the German army, where he was wounded and decorated. In 1919 he joined the fascist German Workers' Party (DAP). He played to the resentments of right-wingers, promising extremist 'remedies' to Germany's post-war problems which he and many others blamed on Jews and Bolsheviks. By 1921 he was the unquestioned leader of what was now the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party).

UN SECURITY COUNCIL MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY TO STOP "BLOODBATH" IN SRI LANKA 

The horrific condition facing civilians in north eastern Sri Lanka has been described as a “bloodbath” by the United Nations. Amnesty International has said that it demands immediate action by the United Nations Security Council. 

In the last few days, more than 400 people – including more than 100 children – are reported to have been killed in a two-day bombardment of the 2 square kilometre area designated as a “Safe Zone” by the Sri Lankan army. This brings the total estimated casualty figure to more than 7,000 killed and 13,000 injured since January. There are an estimated 50,000 civilians still trapped in the area. 

Medical personnel in the area have told Amnesty International that the artillery barrage continued throughout the weekend. The Sri Lankan government has denied using artillery, instead blaming the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. 

Both the Tigers and Sri-Lankan Military have been violating the laws of war. Over the last several months, the Tamil Tigers have used civilians trapped in the conflict zone as a buffer against government forces. 

TWELVE PEOPLE EXECUTED IN IRAQ

7 May 2009

The Iraqi authorities executed 12 people on Sunday, according to information received by Amnesty International. The 12 are believed to be among the 128 people who were on death row. There are growing fears that more executions will follow in the coming days or weeks.

The Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council confirmed to Amnesty International on 9 March 2009 that Iraq’s Presidential Council had ratified the death sentences of 128 people who had been facing imminent execution. 

The death sentences were originally passed by criminal courts in Baghdad, Basra and other cities and provinces on charges under Iraq’s Penal Code and the Anti-Terrorism law that include murder and kidnapping, and were upheld by the Cassation Court.

A spokesperson for Amnesty International expressed dismay at the executions and called for their full names to be disclosed. 

"Amnesty International is urging the authorities to commute all death sentences and to establish an immediate moratorium on executions," said Malcolm Smart, the Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme. "Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases."

US among 18 nations elected to UN Human Rights Council

12 May 2009 – The General Assembly today elected 18 countries to serve on the Geneva-based United Nations human right council for three-year terms starting next month, including – for the first time – Belgium, Hungary, Kyrgyzstan, Norway and the United States.

The 47-member Council replaced the Human Rights Commission – which faced increasing criticism over the years as being ineffective and not accountable – in 2006.

The Assembly also re-elected Bangladesh, Cameroon, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Jordan, Mauritius, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal and Uruguay. All 18 members elected today will begin their terms on 19 June.

In March, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had welcomed the announcement by the US that it would seek a seat on the Council, saying it embodies the country’s commitment to a “new era of engagement.”

UN team probing rights violations in Gaza conflict wraps up first meeting

Palestinian children cower in fear during Israeli military offensive in Gaza

8 May 2009 – Members of the fact-finding mission set up by the United Nations Human Rights Council to probe rights violations during the recent conflict in the Gaza Strip wrapped up a week-long meeting in Geneva today.

The four-person team is led by the former prosecutor for International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, Richard Goldstone of South Africa, who stressed the law-based approach the mission will take in preparing its report to the Geneva-based Council.

“I would like to emphasise that we will focus our investigation not on political considerations, but on an objective and impartial analysis of compliance of the parties to the conflict with their obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law, especially their responsibility to ensure the protection of civilians and non-combatants,” he stated.

“I believe that an objective assessment of the issues is in the interests of all parties, will promote a culture of accountability and could serve to promote greater peace and security in the region.”

During their week-long session, the team held initial meetings with a broad cross-section of stakeholders, including Member States and representatives of the UN and non-governmental organizations. It also established terms of reference and a three-month programme of work.

The mission intends to conduct visits to affected areas of Southern Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, including Gaza, and has requested the cooperation of the Government of Israel in this regard, according to a news release.

The other members of the team include Christine Chinkin, Professor of International Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science at the University of London; Hina Jilani, Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and former Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Human Rights Defenders; and Colonel (retired from the Irish Armed Forces) Desmond Travers, member of the Board of Directors of the Institute for International Criminal Investigations (IICI).

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of Nepal is an independent and autonomous constitutional body. It was established in the year 2000 as a statutory body under the Human Rights Commission Act 1997 (2053 BS).  The Interim Constitution of Nepal 2007 (2063 BS) made the NHRC a constitutional body. It has a separate sphere of responsibilities in the constitutional legal system of the country. These responsibilities complement the responsibilities of the normal machinery of the administration of Justice, the Supreme Court, the Office of the Attorney General, the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority, and other existing executive, quasi-judicial or judicial bodies performing in the legal system of Nepal.

The Commission is created in response to 1991 UN-sponsored meeting of representatives of national institutions held in Paris, which laid down a detailed set of principles on the status of national institutions - commonly known as the Paris Principles. These principles, subsequently endorsed by the UN Commission on Human Rights (Resolution 1992/54 of 3 March 1992) and the UN General Assembly (Resolution 48/134 of 20 December 1993, annex) have become the foundation and reference point for the establishment and operation of the National Human rights Commission of Nepal as well.

human right

1.  What is a Human Right? Give an example.

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.

2.  Why is your example described as a right?

My example is a right that is believed to belong justifiably to every person

3.   Who enforces Human Rights?   

 There isn't an international court to enforce human rights but it is the responsibility of the nation or state to enforce human rights.    

4.   If a right is enforceable, who enforces it?

it is the duty of the nation or state that the violation of right has occurred in to punishment 

5.   Is there any point in describing something as a right if you can't enforce it?

No, because if you believe in it its with all of you then yes there is a point in describing it because there is always a way to enforce it. It might be hard but if you are up for the battle then you can enforce a Human Right. 

6.   Some people say we have a right to an education...what does that mean?  Who enforces it?  Where did this idea come from?

The right to education was universally recognised in 1948 when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was formed. Even though the majority of countries agreed to this not all provide education for the kids in their country. When we say we have a right to an education we mean we have the right to learn to become something great. The people that are meant to enforce the right of education is the country. 

history

what is history ?

History is the study of the past, with special attention to the written record of the activities of human beings over time. Scholars who write about history are called historians . It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it often attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events Historians debate the nature of history and the lessons history teaches famous quote by george santayana has it that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding king arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history

what is history of western australia ?

The first inhabitants of Australia arrived from the north approximately 40,000 to 60,000 years ago and eventually spread across the whole landmass. These Indigenous Australians were well established in the area around Perth by the time European ships started accidentally arriving en-route to Batavia (now Jakarta) in the early seventeenth century.

Before the establishment of the Swan River Colony, the indigenous Nyungar people occupied the southwest corner of Western Australia, hunting and gathering. The lakes on the coastal plain were particularly important to the Aboriginal people, providing them with both spiritual and physical sustenance.

The area in which Perth now stands was called Boorloo. Boorloo formed part of Mooro, the tribal lands of Yellagonga, whose group was one of several based around the Swan River, known collectively as the Whadjug. The Whadjug was a part of the greater group of 13 or so dialect groupings which formed the south west socio-linguistic block still known today as Nyungar (“The People”), or sometimes by the name Bibbulmun.

After settlement in 1829, the European settlers gave the name “Third Swamp” to one of a chain of wetland lakes stretching from Claisebrook to Herdsman Lake. Nearly seventy years later, in 1897, 15 hectares of Third Swamp would be gazetted as a public park and two years later renamed Hyde Park. Hyde Park is now one of Perth's most attractive and popular parks.

From 1831, hostile encounters between European settlers and Nyungars – both large-scale land users with conflicting land value systems – increased considerably. This phase of violence culminated in events such as the execution of Whadjug tribal chief Midgegooroo, the murder of his son Yagan and the massacre of the Pindjarep people.

By 1843, when Yellagonga died, his tribe had begun to disintegrate and had been dispossessed of their land around the main settlement area of the Swan River Colony. They retreated to the swamps and lakes north of the settlement area including Third Swamp, formerly known by them as Boodjamooling.

Third Swamp continued to be a main campsite for the remaining Nyungar people in the Perth region and was also used by travellers, itinerants and homeless people. By the goldrush days in the 1890s they were joined by many miners enroute to the goldfields.[1] As Perth expanded with the gold rush the Nyungar people moved to Lake Gnangara where they were isolated from the European community until changes in the laws that recognised Aboriginal people during 1960s. The camp remained occupied until the early 1980s when it was converted to a school for Aboriginal children.
