Bangladesh Handicraft is earning foreign exchange

The word handicrafts and bangalee tradition both have inextricably relation. Bangladesh is a land of monsoon climate and six seasons. During the rainy season, it’s become too much rainfall and people can not go out and the women of Bangladesh use these time for their creative work. Most of the time, the women use to do this works as a hobby and keep it as an attraction. Some time the hang it on the wall of their house and sometime they use it some in especial ceremony like weeding ceremony. In their work, they display the natural scenery of Bangladesh, the boat that drove with sail, birds and creepers and herbs etc.

For modernization, these traditional works are going to destroy. But some organizations are trying to preserve this work. The organization named ‘Social Development Project’ is among them which is working on the northern district Bogra.

YouTube in 10 Domains for 9 Countries And..

We all are fans of YouTube. Who does not enjoy YouTube? Not me. One problem with YouTube is that until now it had only one domain (http://www.youtube.com/) and it heavily featured videos related to the US. So, users like me from other parts of the world could not enjoy YouTube so much. So, to get more users and give the users local touch, YouTube has launched its services in 9 more domains.

Google’s official blog has written about it:

The YouTube community began life speaking English, but thanks to the uniquely expressive medium of video, today there is a global village of content makers and viewers. With a noteworthy number of YouTube visitors now coming from outside the U.S., it's high time we go multilingual.

Today at a Google press event in Paris, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen are announcing the launch of nine new domains in Brazil, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Ireland, and the UK.

It is good news for the users in these 9 countries. They will have more localized contents in YouTube. For the people in the rest of the world, YouTube.com is yet the best place for the time being.

Habibul Bashar wants to turn back in Sri Lanka tour

The next target is to show a good performance in the next matches in Sri Lanka. Habibul Bashar is thinking about his career because last matches with India, he did not show his as usual performances.

Cricketworldcuplatest reported:

"I am not concerned about my career and right at the moment my main objective is to score runs as much as I can. The one-day series is not in my mind because I am only focusing on the Test series. I know how difficult the condition is but I am very confident," he added.

Meanwhile, when Bangladesh toured Sri Lanka last in 2005 they were wiped out in both the Test and the ODI series, but Bashar reckons things could go a bit differently this time around: "I must say that the boys are now more confident.”

Basher is not only thinking about his career but also thinking about all.

Over heat wave affected the children mostly in Bangladesh

The little children are suffering from fever and diarrhea. For over heat wave, the children of northern area of Bangladesh are affected mostly.

Reuters reported:

Most patients went home fully cured within two or three days, hospital officials said. No one had yet died from diarrhoea in the current outbreak.

Doctors said patients were treated with oral dehydration saline and medicines that, if applied quickly, prevented possible death.

The disease, caused by people eating rotten food and drinking polluted water, escalates during summer when drinking water is in short supply, forcing people to use contaminated sources.

From the report of weather office, we can know that the condition will change in the middle of June. The monsoon air can not pass over Bangladesh that's why the weather is too much unbearable for us, especially for the children.
