SCAM WARNING!

Written by Cynthia Fridsma
Amsterdam, November 8, 2006

On January 2006, I wrote an article about the Ncards organization concerning an Anti-discrimination conference in USA and Dubai .

And this organization still operates and be warned: it’s a scam to steal your money, because the organization is fake! On October 23, I received an email from someone who almost became a victim of this fake organization. They were about to send 6 people from their organization to Dubai for the first International Conference Against Racism and Discrimination!!!

But they were just in time to stop the transaction and decided to check things first and came across my previous article about the scam.

They call themselves now: the World Conference against Racism and Discrimination instead of the National Conference and I decided to publish their email on our site as a warning for everyone not to fall for this fake organization! Don't fall for messages from an organization with the name : WCARD!!!

---- email from an almost victim of the scam --------------

Greetings from Cairo, Egypt. I am a woman from Egypt who works as the Director of Training at Freedom Drug and HIV/AIDS program in our country. We were about to send 6 people from our organization (and pay for their accommodations in Dubai) to the first International Conference Against Racism and Discrimination!!!

New heading added : Book reviews

Written by Cynthia Fridsma

Although we’re living in an age of Information Technology, where we can use the Internet to find all the information we need (though not all the information you find on the virtual ocean can be considered as a trustful source), and reading lots’ of information on the screen.

Still, I believe that we need a hard copy on paper instead, when reading lot’s of pages and that includes books. You can call me old fashioned, but I have to disagree with you. You can learn more from reading a book on paper (and it’s easier to add your own comments on a page) than reading an electronic version of the book.

That’s why I doubt that printed matter will be replaced by electronic versions for the generations. Believe me, or not, that reading the ‘SorrowJoy’, Heather’s book with lovely poems, on the screen, isn’t the same than reading it on paper. And that goes for many other books too.

I decided to start this new section on our Online Magazine because I love to read a lot and love to share the information about new publications of books with you.

More Hollywood news ...

Producer/Director BJ Davis submits a request to have his Director's credit replaced with a pseudonym "Alan Smithee", which is commonly used in the entertainment industry by Directors who wish to disassociate themselves from the film.

hi, it was my second concert after Munich last year. At Munich i stood very close before the stage and i was wondering whether i should close my
eyes so that i can concentrate on and flow with the music or watching this
angel singing. At Munich first track was she alone with Storm, then the
band set in with Heart and shoulder and then Motherland. I thought i was in heaven at last, finally, i literally had to keep from crying tears of
joy. At Feldkirch, in my home country, though i had to travel even more, i
live close to Vienna, first track was Maybe an angel, and then the same
two and three and again i was home. Music was as powerful and spiritualized and uplifting and deep as the year before but she was more
opened, she smiled several times and spoke a little, which she didnt do at Munich at all. Cant tell that one was better than the other but i can tell that im looking extremely forward to her next live performance because thats real power and real love.
And theres something remaining inside your heart that will help you going through the storm.
love, regards, gerhard

Hi Gerhard,

Thanks for sharing your review about Heather's concerts in Munich and at
Feldkirch... I will publish your review on the site today because I am sure
that other fans will love your review too, as much as I did!

And I can understand why it's hard to say which one was better, because Heather
is simply the best and when she's on stage she gives 100% of her self to the
audience, I am quite sure of that which is why there's so much love in the air
during a nova concert, like you mentioned before.

Your review reminds me of the good times I saw Heather on stage and I am sure
that she'll be back on stage next year and than we'll have a chance to see her
again on stage.

What's your favorite HN song? The song I like most is Island (because it's a
strong and emotional song of Heather, though almost all her songs are that
way).

Best regards,

Cynthia,
editor/webmaster of the
