The WhatsApp on your cell phone

The WhatsApp on your cell phone will work normally. However, everything you send or receive will be reflected on the spying device. WhatsApp web will simulate the WhatsApp account on a device with all the chat logs, access to download movies media, view status and even send the messages
Though you cannot use same WhatsApp number in two devices at the same instance. But anyone can spy on you with a feature known as WhatsApp Web. WhatsApp is a popular internet messaging App and looking at the nature of the App it is one of the most private of the software present on the Android. If unknowingly a rouge gets access to your WhatsApp it may create great repercussions.
WhatsApp Web is a powerful feature released which lets users send or receive message using any device by associating their WhatsApp Account y means of a barcode. The WhatsApp Web lets users simulate the WhatsApp account on any device with a fixed web browser. This can be used to spy or hack your WhatsApp. I have found several ways to know if someone is spying on WhatsApp. Today in this post I will tell you how you can find which other phone or PC is accessing your WhatsApp. Also, I will explain how to keep yourself safe from breach or getting hacked.

How to Know if Your WhatsApp is Being used on other Device?
Many times people are very much interested in your life and to sneak into your living, the most powerful tool they can access is your WhatsApp. All they need is a few seconds of your unlocked phone and WhatsApp Web Barcode. Boom!!

He/She can now see an exact duplicate of your WhatsApp account with all the chat and media. The WhatsApp on your cell phone will work normally. However, everything you send or receive will be reflected on the spying device.
WhatsApp web will simulate the WhatsApp account on a device with all the chat logs, access to download movies media, view status and even send the messages.

How to Know if they Spy via Whatsapp Web?
In case if you missed, I want to let you know that the first evidence will appear on the cell phone itself in the form of a notification.

You can check any account usage by doing the following.

Open WhatsApp.
Click on the menu option indicated with 3 vertical dots at the top right corner.
Here click on WhatsApp Web option and you can check for any device or App which has access to your WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Showing an PC having a Access to your Account
WhatsApp Showing a PC having an Access to your Account

If one or several computers with open session appear which you have not given access to, then your WhatsApp account is compromised to another device. Your account is “intervened” and they are spying on you.

What to do if WhatsApp is Open on Another Device?
To prevent the WhatsApp from being hacked you can log out of all the sessions that are open and the person will lose access to your account immediately.
To avoid these things happens again, the most effective solution is to configure the WhatsApp with App Lock. In this way, even if someone gets your phone, they can not access the WhatsApp application and connect it to a PC or other App via WhatsApp Web.
Know if WhatsApp is Open on Another Device | 2nd Way
Another way in which persons can spy WhatsApp is activating the account in another device. Basically, they register your WhatsApp number in another mobile and during their configuration, they recover all your chats or conversations saved in the application. Anyone can do this by taking your cell phone, to receive the verification code that WhatsApp sends.
If such a thing is done then on your phone then you will be greeted with the message “This phone could not be verified” because the number is registered on another device.
You can re-verify your number to regain the account access.
Protect Your WhatsApp Account from getting Activated on other Device
There is a much-sophisticated method to protect your WhatsApp from getting active on another phone. All you need to do is enable two-step verification.
To do so go to;
WhatsApp → Menu options at Top Right → Settings → Account → Enable 2 Step-verification.
When someone tries to activate your WhatsApp on another device, he will be asked for a security code that only you know. Without that code, it will be impossible for another person to register your WhatsApp on another computer.
How to Know if Someone Hacked WhatsApp Files?
This is a complex method to gain access to the WhatsApp chat but it is an easy trick which can put your privacy at risk. A rouge can access the chat even with locked WhatsApp account. He/She will target the WA Chat log, images, videos and other media in the File Manager. The rouge can send the files to his/her device or they can use auto-backup apps like Backup Text for WhatsApp and directly email all your WhatsApp conversations in plain text. This is a very serious type of threat and many people don’t know it.
Keep Your WhatsApp Files Safe in File Manager
The best way to be safe from this kind of threat is to update the WhatsApp regularly. The updates consist of security patches with backup encryption. Also, it is better to have an App lock for File Manager if think the person may go this far to sniff in your personal life.
Note & Conclusion: Although WhatsApp is end to end encrypted, to make sure check WhatsApp web in settings if there’s some device connected remove it or else there is no other way to hack into someone’s WhatsApp as of yet unless he or she has your phone with all the apps unlocked.

AKDN VIEW:  
AKTC became active in the north of Pakistan in 1989, in response to concerns that the unique culture of the area was under threat due to developments that followed the completion of the Karakoram Highway in 1978.  Increased accessibility to remote valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan, which were part of the old Central Asian Silk Road but which had remained inaccessible to vehicular traffic, coupled with the impact of tourism, introduced a rapid transformation of local customs and economic patterns.  These changes called for a new strategies and procedures that were capable of steering ongoing rapid change.
The conservation of the Baltit Fort – the earliest elements of which date back more than 700 years – and the stabilisation of the historic core of the village of Karimabad – historically BALTIT – in the Hunza Valley, were the Trust’s first major interventions in Pakistan. The project was finished in 1996, but conservation efforts continued. The AKTC’s country affiliate, the Aga Khan Cultural Service-Pakistan (AKCSP), was formed in 1991.

BALTIT FORT IS NOW A MUSEUM

After the restoration of Baltit Fort in 1996, the fort was opened for public. It is now being managed by the Baltit Heritage Trust. An estimated 15,000 people visit the Baltit Fort every year which includes locals, domestic and foreign visitors.

IT TOOK 6 YEARS TO RENOVATE THE BALTIT FORT

The fort was renovated by Aga Khan Cultural Services for Pakistan (AKCSP) and opened for public in September 1996. The restoration work of Baltit Fort took AKCSP about six years to complete with the support of Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). The fort was inaugurated after restoration by His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan and then president of Pakistan Mr. Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari.
The Fort remains open all year round and seven days a week, with the idea of being a self-sustaining cultural centre supported by the sale of entry tickets, souvenirs and generous donations of individuals and organizations entrusted to the promotion and preservation of cultural and historical heritage of this part of world.
Baltit heritage trust is the main institution in Hunza towards preservation and promotion of heritage of hunza. Now we have the son of soil heading this organization that gives us the hope that the trust will provide the needed impetus even to the diaspora. My advocacy: Hunza Heritage through BHT chair.

Water Rights - in Central Hunza
It will help the younger generation to arrive at logical collective decisions when the futuristic civil society entities embark on implementing desirable changes in the distribution of water rights that will be necessitated when either new channels are built or the existing channels are improved or utilization options - for example, HYDRO-POWER schemes are implemented and a review becomes essential. This consideration alone has prompted me to reproduce the same on my blog so that it is available to a wider circle in Hunza.
Disputes in Hunza - 1980-1990s - A matter of serious attention for the people of Hunza
I have recently obtained verbal permission of Dr. Herman Kreutzmann to post this chapter from the CAK (Cultural Area Karakorum) Project research publication “Erdkunliches Wissen 132” with the hope that study of contents will help the people to do a serious review of the unnecessary conflicts which have afflicted our society as a negative development resulting from the 1974 decision of the Government of Pakistan to abolish the hereditary rule in Hunza. Misinterpretations and controversial interpretations of customary rights have engulfed many communities to waste their energies and resources on litigation s in the courts of law.

Karakoram in Transition: Culture, Development and Ecology in the Hunza Valley

edited by Hermann Kreutzmann 
 Science - 2006 - 419 pages
In the age of globalization the interconnectedness of world regions is perceived to a much higher degree than ever before. The remoteness of mountain areas has been converted into a view of mountains as a resource centre from where life-spending water originates, as an abode of pristine cultures, herbs, and niches. Pakistan incorporates some of the highest mountain regions, and the Karakorams have been one of the least known for many centuries. Here we find some of the steepest slopes, mass mobilization, earthquakes and the water towers of humankind. At the same time these areas are of geopolitical interest in boundary making and control. Trade routes of the caravan age have been transformed into motorable roads such as the Karakoram Highway. The impact of these changes are addressed in this book in which for the first time eminent scholars from various disciplines cooperate in an international effort to combine state of the art research results about the Hunza Valley. The academic interest in different aspects from culture, ecology, economy and development has been the starting point for presenting the Hunza Valley as an example of high mountain research from which new insights into sustainable mountain development can be derived. Therefore the focus on a specific valley opens methodological and conceptual venues based on sound empirical data from fieldwork experiences. The Hunza Valley can be considered as an arena of research and development for half a century. With this book the most recent insights are presented in a holistic effort.

Mandate of TMS

His Highness' Speech at the TMS Meeting at Baltit Fort, 25.9.96


First of all I would like to tell the Town Management Society, how happy I am to be able to meet with you on this really unique day when, for the first time, I am able to visit the restored Fort of Baltit. I would want to take this occasion to congratulate all those who have been associated with the restoration for the really wonderful work that they have put in to make this a successful restoration. 

There are two ways of working, one with one's head only, and the other is to work with one's head and one's heart. I have to tell you that I sensed today that all team members who worked on this project have worked with their head and their heart, and I really would like to tell you how grateful I am, how happy I am.

I would like to take this occasion to illustrate to you why I think this is such an important initiative. The history of the peoples of the Northern Areas is under your control: it can be eliminated and forgotten, or it can be retained and used as direction and guidance in a number of different ways for generations ahead. It was my hope that this would be the use that you would make of your own history. History has multiple ways of being part of our everyday lives, and one of them is in the historic buildings that we have. Retaining these historic buildings, giving them a purpose from one generation to another, enabling them to inform us as to what were the principles by which previous generations lived; these are all elements of the greatest importance, and I am deeply happy to see that the Fort has not only returned pride in one building, but it has returned pride in the history of the people of Hunza. This is to me a very important aspect of the work you have been doing, and I am hopeful that what has been learnt from this restoration project will become part of Hunza's society.

As you look at your old buildings, you will want to retain them and give them a modern purpose in life. Now the nature of life has changed, and Hunza has changed. There are two ways to look at change: one is to let it build up its own momentum in many different ways, but the benefit is likely to be dubious and diluted and there may be negative repercussions. The other way is try to understand and forecast the nature of change and have that Change work for you. And that is what I am hoping for, in the way you think about planning in the town of Karimabad, and other towns in the area. That is: let the processes of change occur but manage them, forecast them, make them work for you.

Now this is a new concept. A hundred years ago there was no question of large number of visitors coming to, Hunza every year. The younger generation wasn’t receiving the type of education it is receiving today. Today, there are new requirements, there are new needs, and the important thing is to create a consensus around one objective: that those processes of change should bring new quality of life to you and the future generations that live here. And the only way to do so is to try to identify what are the positive aspects of the processes of change and what are the negative aspects. Remember they very rarely come independently one of the other. They will nearly always, come together.

So while looking at the opportunities of change, be careful of the risks of change and in the work that you are doing. There are both aspects: risks and opportunities. Risk management means identifying the areas where change could be damaging to the traditional way of life, to maintaining history, to maintaining the overall atmosphere and quality of life, Opportunity is letting the change benefit. Now if you locate those, benefits in various areas of your environment, you will find that they will become beneficial to everyone. The effect may not be recognizable immediately. But in the long run they will help everybody, because more and more people will find that the planning that you have done has been beneficial to them. This means that everybody has to collaborate in turning those opportunities to the positive side and in managing the risk.

I really wanted to share this thinking with you. Please remember that previously we have discussed income enhancements through improving everyone's resources, we have discussed improving health care through a primary health care and hospitals. We have discussed the improvement of basic education, and the training of teachers. Now we are discussing the physical environment; all that is part of the same goal, which is to improve the quality of life for people in the areas in which you are living.

I have simply given you some sense of the importance of this work. What I would like to do now is to listen to you, so that you can tell me whatever problems you have and I can think about them. I may not give you answers immediately, because sometimes I like to think a little bit more also as to what are the solutions. But basically, the important thing is to manage opportunity as it comes, so that you get the benefits of the opportunity and you contain the risks of change. This is what I am hoping for.

I think that you will be setting an extraordinary example. There are not many other places on the face of the earth with societies like yours, doing such things. So it is a new initiative. And Insha’Allah, with the intellect that you have, and with the knowledge we try to support you with, we will bring to this part of the world the knowledge of our time, but at the same time protect the past and enhance the future; that is really what we are seeking.

Speech by His Highness the Aga Khan at the UNESCO Conference on Culture and Development in Hangzhou, China
15 May 2013

Extracts:

“I am honoured by your invitation, and pleased for this opportunity to talk about two subjects that are very close to my heart – culture and development.”

“My attention to cultural legacies was triggered, over three decades ago, when I realized that the proud architectural heritage of the Islamic world was endangered. The art forms through which great Islamic cultures had expressed their identity and their ideals were deteriorating.

The result, for huge segments of the world’s population, was a fading of cultural memory. The world was threatened by an enormous cultural disaster.

Even worse, there were few resources for addressing this situation. Architectural thinking, globally, was dominated by western industrial models. Islamic architecture itself was abandoning its heritage in the face of an all-consuming modernity.

Our response to that situation began with the creation, in 1977, of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, dedicated to the renewal of this legacy. Soon afterward came the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and under its aegis, the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme.”

“The life of the neighbourhood has also been revitalized. Important initiatives in health, education and sanitation grew out of our quality of life assessments, and we continue to monitor quality of life indices, through baseline studies, on a regular basis.”

“For all of these journeys, the development process has been long and complex, but filled with stimulating lessons. Let me briefly summarize five of them.

First, these cultural projects depend upon an ethic of partnership. This means that traditional separations between public and private domains must be set aside. The concept of public-private partnership is an essential keystone for effective cultural development.

The role of governments, including municipalities, is fundamental in providing what we often term “an enabling environment” for development. But the public sector cannot do this work alone. A creative mix of participants is needed, corporations and development agencies, foundations and universities, individual donors, faith communities and local community groups.

I have one more comment to make about partnerships. It is absolutely essential that effective partnerships are maintained throughout the life of a project, including the post-completion period. Let me cite our own experience in support of this point. Of the 20 Historic City projects that we have undertaken, only two have failed the test of time. But in both cases what was missing was a strong partnership structure for post-project management.

This discussion leads me to a second conclusion: while cultural development often begins with physical legacies, planning must focus well beyond the cultural goals. We cannot somehow assume that a favourable social and economic impact will flow naturally as a by-product of cultural commitments. Issues relating to the quality of life must be considered from the beginning and monitored throughout the project's life.

A third point in this list of lessons learned is that the engagement of the local community from the earliest stages is imperative for success. Cultural endeavours, in particular, involve risks that go beyond external, economic factors. Their progress can depend heavily on variable qualities of human nature, including the pride and confidence of the peoples involved. In any development effort, there will be a tipping point along the way when we see the glass as half full rather than half empty. But these tipping points are more likely to tip in the right direction when attention to local confidence has become an ingrained reflex.

There is a fourth point that is also special to historic restoration projects. That is the fact that we can never be sure just what we will encounter as the work of rediscovery moves along. There are many unknowns going in, and we must be ready for surprises. I think, for example, of how little we knew, when we started, about the extent and condition of the Ayyubid Wall in Cairo, buried for 500 years or more. The Wall in fact had been so completely obscured that plans had been suggested for building a highway over it, until its remains were identified. In this case, as in so many others, the resilience and adaptability of all the partners, including the people of the local neighbourhoods, was critical.

Let me finally highlight a fifth lesson. Planning for such projects must anticipate how they will operate on a continuing basis after they are completed. In many cases, a permanent service facility will be put in place, a site museum perhaps, a scholarly centre, a children’s library, a training workshop, a clinical resource, or research facility. Financial planning must take these opportunities into account, as a set of costs to be sure, but also a potential source of revenue. Up-front investment will be on everyone’s mind at the start. But our financial strategies should include eventual income streams that will sustain the project over the long run. One of the least happy outcomes for any cultural initiative is that it becomes a net drain on the local population.”

PROTOTYPE 3

PRESENTATION

MY DREAM

The dream is to solve the issues faced by the society in my region through self-help as part of my belief system which stresses on TKN (time and knowledge Nazrana). I have developed Idea demonstration projects to achieve:

1. Poverty Alleviation.
2. Education and skills from ECD to tertiary - through Free of cost world-class Education and Skills at door-steps in my region.
3. Infrastructure for water and energy - through SELF-HELP 75 LSOs established by AKRSP, - through the Village Organizations (for men - 2928) and WOs (for women -2117} a total of over  5045 entities, combined covering entire population of GILGIT-BALTISTAN & CHITRAL, Faith based Institutions and the Government.

What I want to achieve is:

A. Provide job opportunities to more than 15000 youngsters in the decades to follow.
B. Provide low-cost energy, initially for Life-style improvement and gradually for economical uplift through adding value to Agricultural product - by pumping water from rivers to irrigate large swaths of barren lands in the region.
C. Facilitate knowledge society

Target date: Coming decades

I want to develop awareness and confidence by the potential beneficiaries by installing the model at a place frequently visited by all populations for at least two years

I am also coordinating with college of EME innovation team as well as KIU (Karakoram International University) to install one of the prototypes at the site where they have a pumping system utilizing Public Supply, for which they pay sizable bill every month - this job is in-progress.

I hope the idea demonstration projects convey gist of following important messages to the populations in our region:
a. SELF HELP IS THE BEST HELP - teaching conveyed fourteen centuries back in time and continuing through the guidance system instituted in Ghadir-e-Khum - read webcast of 11th July 2017 and the speech on 15th January 2019.
b. I am not looking for the best technologies in the world to solve issues around our homes rather for solutions evolved by innovative human resources and sustainable options within reach.
c. Promote KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY towards attaining BETTER TOMORROW goals.
I expect our institutions collecting better tomorrow donations as well VO/WO saving scheme investments in proposed Hunza Power Supply Company will result in poverty alleviation through pumping water from rivers to irrigate barren lands and Life-long learning centers towards world class education and skills to result in innovative HR. For details read my blog.

Interesting Journey of a complaint on Citizen’s Portal



The Complaint: “Free high speed internet in Hunza, part of Cross Border Optical Fiber Cable Project:

The infrastructure has been provided by the Chinese and also tested. Will be available to populations only when GOP (SCO) issues NOC. We request GOP to facilitate establishment of KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY in the region by issuing the NOC.”

I lodge this complaint on 24th February 2019 the portal assigned a code GB240219-1635451 and assigned it to chief secretary Gilgi-Baltistan who forwarded it to Chairman Pakistan telecommunication authority. The chairman was reminded by the Portal Management on April 29 2019. Reply on May 6: “closed - relief cannot be granted.”
Reminder: Your Complaint Reference No : PTA-WEB-70125-2019

I had to give a feedback to citizen portal I said: “a disappointing reply to a genuine complaint dealing with provision of relief to a large section of populations in GB. I appeal to the prime minister to review the complaint and see for himself as to how important it is to issue the NOC and provide the facility of high speed internet established by the Chinese under CPEC.”It is now in process - may be one of few million complaints waiting for its turn.

I can imagine the frustration that the manager of the portal would feel looking at this attitude of a senior public servant to the public complaints.

Sustainable Development Goals - Partnerships for the goals


Request you to read these points patiently – and also the contents on the hyper links

1982:  The Imam set three goals while launching AKRSP.
2002: The Imam asked the leadership to REORIENTATE in November 2002 with detailed written directions.
2007;  The Imam introduced a major policy change in 2007 and got the Civil Society Learning Materials compiled so that Institutions get strengthened towards better delivery.
1982 – 2017: The Imam sets a number of goals during the three jubilees (viz. Silver, Golden and Diamond) the last fourgoals for the Diamond Jubilee and how they are to be achieved.
2015:   Three of the agencies, viz. AKESP, HSP & PBSP dissociated from NC and shifted from Karachi to Islamabad.
2019:  The Imam repeated the strategy through 3-points in his speech on 15 January 2019 in Germany.
2013 to date: Individual effort seeking Institutional adoption; in order to make achievement of the goals contextual to our region, showing that these are within reach of institutions and populations to make them comprehensible, I have invested about five lacs of my limited resources in the “idea demonstration projects” which I have covered through various posts on my blog titled “HunzaDevelopment Forum”.
Watch Mawlana Hazar Imamdiscusses the power of strong civil society organizations , also click and watch CIVIL SOCIETY, LIVING DOCUMENT, ROAD_MAP
LATEST FROM OFFICIAL SITE
What I have shared through the links to the documents is: The Imam has set four goals and how to achieve these.I have developed the "idea demonstration projects" and my ideas on how to implement for wider impact. Now all those interested on this topic can visit the site of these projects see them clarify any question, share better ideas and implement the way they deem more appropriate.
I hope the idea demonstration projects convey gist of following important messages to the populations in our region:
a. SELF HELP IS THE BEST HELP - teaching conveyed fourteen centuries back in time and continuing through the guidance system instituted in Ghadir-e-Khum - read webcast of 11th July 2017 and the speech on 15th January 2019.
b. I am not looking for the best technologies in the world to solve issues around our homes rather for solutions evolved by innovative human resources and sustainable options within reach.
c. Promote KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY towards attaining BETTER TOMORROW goals.
I expect our institutions collecting better tomorrow donations as well VO/WO saving scheme investments in proposed Hunza Power Supply Company will result in poverty alleviation through pumping water from rivers to irrigate barren lands and Life-long learning centers towards world class education and skills to result in innovative HR. For details read my blog. Also go through the DJ goals set by MHI and guidance on how these are to be achieved - in short REORIENTATION desired since introduction of 1998 constitution.


What is CIVIL SOCIETY:

“Quality of Life”: What is not understood is that this work is for us a part of our institutional responsibility -- it flows from the mandate of the office of Imam to improve the quality of worldly life for the concerned communities. “cosmopolitan ethic”, 'listen to the voices of the poor”,  “A Clash of Ignorance”, “Who is my Neighbor?” “O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord, Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from the twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women.” (4:1),  “single soul created by a single Creator”, Of course my experience includes the religious faith in which I have been nurtured. I was born into a Muslim family, educated as a Muslim and spent many years studying the history of the faith and its civilisations. My commitment to the principle of tolerance also grows out of that commitment. faith and world. The two are so deeply intertwined that one cannot imagine their separation. They constitute a “Way of Life.” The role and responsibility of an Imam, therefore, is both to interpret the faith to the community, and also to do all within his means to improve the quality, and security, of their daily lives
What is your goal? To reduce poverty?
It is to improve the quality of life and that indeed involves reducing poverty, but it also provides people with the means to improve their quality of life. That is the goal.
Do foreign heads of state often ask for your advice?
Yes, that is true. Especially in countries where there is a large Ismaili community or strong institutions. And it also works the other way. I talk to them because I need to know what their thoughts are on the future, what is the best academic or economic institution.

“This endeavor was based on the ever increasing appreciation that the social change and the improvement in the quality of life of the various communities around the world is driven by capacities of civil society. Increasingly the role of the governments is expected to be an enabler for the civil society to grow positively. Fortunately in many of the countries where the Jamat is living public and private sectors recognize the need and benefit to integrate the civil society and it is within that context since the last ten years the AKDN has expanded its activities.”
“An important facet of modern development thinking is that societies can best strengthen themselves by mobilizing their own dynamic forces rather than relying on external support and direction.”
"The AKDN because of multiplicity of its activities in economics, health, education, cultural activities and others is exceptionally well placed to enhance the development of civil society in many countries of the world. It is led by generous men and women who offer their competencies and their time, many without any compensation so as to contribute to the improvement of quality of life in their societies. These initiatives draw support from our as well as other communities and institutions and their outcomes are measured against best practices. Both measuring device and optimization of performance are key contributors to positive outcomes, thus I wish to thank them today all those who have contributed and are contributing to our actions in various parts of the world through various entities and to say how much I admire and grateful for their work.
