Acid
rain
Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it
possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful
effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by
emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the
atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to
reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. The chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and erosion of stone statues.
Bangladesh Premier League
(B P L)
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a
professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh, based on the format of the
other international Premier League such as EPL, Pro20, Big Bash & IPL. The
first edition of the tournament started on 10 February 2012 with six franchises
consisting of players from around the world.
Like other
successful premier leagues Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) decided to organize
its own professional T20 league with a similar concept.
The BCB
selected Game On from three Indians firms who had submitted a financial offer
to manage the tournament. BCB spokesman Jalal Yunus said: "Initially Game
On will deposit the proportionate amount of guaranteed money for two seasons to
our account," he said after an emergency BCB meeting. Twenty20 cricket is
becoming increasingly popular in Bangladesh since neighboring India launched
the IPL four years ago.
The winner of
this tournament will qualify for the Champions League Twenty20[citation
needed]. Dhaka Gladiators were the inaugural champions of the BPL
The inaugural
season of the tournament will start on 9 February on 2012 with an opening
ceremony with the first match to start on 10 February 2012 and will finish with
the final on 29 February 2012. A total of 33 matches are scheduled, all of
which will be played at two stadiums, Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium and Zohur
Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Each team will play each team twice, both at home and
away in a round robin system. The top four teams at the end of the round robin
stage will progress to the knockout stage. Sylhet and Chittagong failed to
progress to the semi finals. Dhaka and Barisal reached semi finals. Afterwards,
Dhaka took the champions trophy beating Barisal at final
There are five
ways that a franchise can acquire a player. In the annual auction, buying
domestic players, signing uncapped players, through trading and buying
replacements. In the trading window players can only be traded with his
consent. The franchise will have to pay the difference between the old contract
price and the new contract price. If the new contract is worth more than the
older one then the difference will be shared between the player and the
franchise selling the player.
Each team will
consist of 18 players with a maximum of 8 international players, up to 5 of
which will be allowed to play in a match.
Each team must
contain atleast one Associate player, reflecting on Bangladesh's own history as
an Associate. A total of six Associate players have been signed, one each by
the six franchises.
War Criminals of Bangladesh
The liberation war of
Bangladesh was a history of genocide by Pakistan Army. Pakistani military
forces required military support from their Bengali supporters who still wants
to live with Pakistan in the movement; as well as the non-Bengali muhajirs in
order to abolish the freedom fighters of Bangladesh. Therefore Rajakar, Al Badar, Al Shams and peace
committee were formed through Islamic fundamentalist parties including Jama´at
E Islami, proclaiming jihad against Indians, to seek unity among the population
for the two wings of Pakistan, in the name of religion.
Thus people involved with these troops and the bengali
friends of Pakistani Army known as Rajakars were involved in mass killing, rape
and torture of women and children and other war crimes.
We have collected the list of all criminals of Bangladesh to
let the World know their past so that they can be put to the law for their war
crimes and crimes against humanity.
Email:
Electronic
mail or simply E-mail is very much popular now-a-days for its speedy
transmission of information's and cost effectiveness. Hence information
provided by a sender is delivered asynchronously to a point where it can be
retrieved and processed later on by one or more recipients of the sender's
choice. In an E-Mail system, there is a number and the sender keeps on dialing
the desired number till he/she is successful. Once it is connected, the PC
terminal of the sender sends the message to the PC terminal of the recipient at
a very high speed. There is no need of any physical presence of both the sender
and the receiver. The sender can enter the message and the receiver can
retrieve it whenever he/she is free. The message will remain in PC's memory.
The transmission of messages is usually done through landlines (telephones) or
satellite communications or through marine cables. E-mail has lot of advantages
to its credit. It is cost effective. Very less money is required In comparison
to other transmission device. It is time saver. Within very short time messages
can be sent. There is no need of presence of either the sender or the receiver.
Once the message is entered into PC’s it will remain in the receiver PC's
memory. E-mail transmission is very
speedy. It is four times faster than FAX and ten Times faster than telex. There
is the system of using password which each subscriber can choose to use. Hence
E-mail gives security of message.
Electronic voting
machines (E V M)
Electronic
voting machines are absolutely necessary for all elections. Not only do these
machines provide a haven of privacy for voters, the machines additionally act
as a safeguard for the votes casted. Electronic voting machines are also much
more efficient than alternative means of ballot counting. These machines are
the future of voting.
Electronic
voting is not necessary and if possible should not be used in elections. Most
developed countries do not use electronic voting and a few have banned it,
including Germany and the Netherlands.
VotersUnite.org reports that: Flawed and
failing computerized vote-counters have been reported in hundreds of news
stories, experienced by thousands of voters, caused millions of dollars in
official investigations and studies ... and yet the equipment is still in use
in virtually every jurisdiction in the United States.
See a database of failures of electronic
voting in the United States and you will wonder why we still use computers.
Because of drastic failures with electronic
voting - 4,400 votes permanently lost in Carteret County NC in Nov 2004, 18,000
under votes for the FL 13 Congressional race in Sarasota in 2006, and more -
many states at least require that ballots be voter marked. At least with a
voter marked paper ballot, even if a machine counts the ballot, there is a way
to audit the results to check for computer errors or to do a recount if
software flips the results.
Many states have banned paperless voting but
the votes are still tallied by computers and still vulnerable to errors or
fraud.
Federal Standards allow for these voting
machines to fail up to nearly 10% of the time in a single voting day. Clearly
our standards are too low and failing us.

How to Keep a Diary
Keeping
a diary is a great way to express our emotions on paper and treasure
experiences. Years from now, we'll wonder what we were doing years ago. A diary
will remind us of the good - and bad - times we had in our past. A diary can
also help vent out anger and frustration as
well as excitement. It is a great way to express our feelings and pour out our
heart when we're sad or when we just
need someone to tell our innermost thoughts to. Firstly, we have to write in some basic information about ourself on the
first page. We could include our name, our age, our best friend,
our occupation or school grade, and a few of our hobbies and favorite things.
Secondly, we have to start our first entry by labeling the top with
the weekday and date, the time, and possibly where you were when writing that
entry. Thirdly, we don't be
afraid to even give our diary a name. Fourthly, we can write our frustrations and
celebrations, but also write everyday things about our schedule, our friends,
and the things we like to do. Then we have to start again if
we have a break from writing. If we do skip a day, days, or even weeks,
don't worry about it. Just start in again from the current day. Next we have to read our old entries every so
often and see what we think now in
comparison to then. At last we
have to make sure of
hide it too.
It's a personal diary so it needs to be safe.
The National Memorial
National Martyrs' Memorial is one of the greatest
monuments in the history of Bangladesh. It is located at Savar, about
35 km north-west of Dhaka, symbolizes the velour and sacrifice of the
martyrs who laid down their lives for the liberation of Bangladesh. It was
designed by Syed Mainul Hossain. Plans for the monument were initiated
right after the independence, in 1972. The main structure and the artificial
lake and other facilities were completed in 1982. The monument is composed of 7
isosceles triangular pyramid shaped structures, with the middle one being the
tallest. The highest point of the monument is 150 feet. There is an artificial
lake, and several mass graves in front of the main monument. The architect has
used concrete for the monument while all the other structures and pavements of
the complex are made of red bricks. It symbolizes that it is built with
concrete but made of blood. Once one enters the complex through the main gate
he or she can see the monument axially but to reach it one has to walk through
different ups and downs of pavements and cross an artificial lake by a
bridge-all these represent the struggle for independence. The most moving sight
of the complex is the several graves of the martyred freedom fighters: close to
the tower. Standing in front of the graves we bow down our heads in respect, as
the towers soar up symbolizing the loftiness of their spirit.
