Bangladesh is a small country of only about 147,570 square kilometers (Population Census, 2009), but its social and cultural life is so diverse that the land has been seen as a paradise by many social scientists. Bangladesh is ranked the eighth most populous country in the world, having 148.5 million people, but occupying only one 3000th part of the world‟s land space (Mabud, 2008). In a regional context, South Asian countries including Bangladesh comprise one quarter of the world‟s population, having
Since the 1970s, Venezuela has gone from being South America’s richest nation into a nouveau-poor society in search of an identity. Once known as the Saudis of the West, Venezuelans have seen their economic fortunes decline in exact proportion to the general fall in world oil prices. Even so, Venezuela’s many problems were hidden from view until relatively recently, when severity measures heralded the sort of economic crises so painfully familiar to other Latin American countries.

Wiping the sleepies out of my eyes, I quickly glanced at my alarm clock – 5 am. “Good, I’ve got plenty of time,” I thought to myself. As quietly as possible, which never works when I am trying to, I quickly grabbed a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Checking my list and grabbing my gear I headed out to wait for a taxi in the cool fading morning. I could taste the excitement, or was that the humidity? That day began like all the other missionary kid tubing trips down the Davao River in the Philippines
river of South America. Only the Nile River in Africa is longer. The Amazon is 6,437 kilometres long. The Amazon carries more water than any other river--more than the Mississippi, Nile, and Yangtze rivers together. The Amazon is too wide at many points for a person on one bank to see the opposite shore. The river ranges from 2.5 to 10 kilometres wide during most of its course. It widens to about 150 kilometres at its mouth. The depth of the Amazon averages about 10 metres and increases to more

CA3226 Assignment 2 How plug-in design affect our city? Introduction Plug-in urban design is a category which usually focuses on the strategic building of infrastructure components in a city. Through the design, new infrastructure elements can be plugged into existing built-up areas in order to bind them into a unit and boost their amenity level.

Trilateration is the process of determining absolute or relative locations of points by measurement of distances, using the geometry of circles, spheres or triangles. In addition to its interest as a geometric problem, trilateration does have practical applications in surveying and navigation, including global positioning systems (GPS). In contrast to triangulation, it does not involve the measurement of angles. In two-dimensional geometry, it is known that if a point lies on two circles, then the

RADAR RADAR is a term is used to refer to electronic equipment that perceive the presence, course, altitude, and distance of objects by using reflected electromagnetic waves. The term radar is in fact an acronym made up of the words radio detection and ranging (RADAR = RAdio Detection And Ranging). The fundamental basics of RADAR is built upon electromagnetic radiation. RADAR utilises radio waves which is a type of electromagnetic wave on the electromagnetic spectrum. RADAR finds target objects

Space. The final frontier. It is the destiny of Humanity to leave our world, colonize the planets of other stars, and spread throughout the farthest reaches of the galaxy. However, we can’t just go out and start colonizing the galaxy overnight. First off, we need to take relative “baby-steps” and colonize another planet in our Solar System. The best candidate for this; Mars. Mars is the best candidate because it has water ice on its surface, it’s not as hot as Venus or Mercury, it has an atmosphere
Afghanistan, Nepal and Bhutan. The glaciers in the Himalayan mountains are at the headwaters of many essential and large rivers throughout the himalayan and asian countries. Over the last 30 years some glaciers in the Himalayas have retreated one kilometre. The negative effects of CO2 and global warming on the glaciers have caused the glaciers to melt, or retreat having a lot of drastic effects. Over time, as a result of glacier shrinkage, normal glacier melt will not be able to contribute to the Himalayan
The 1989 Newcastle earthquake happened in Newcastle, New South Wales on Thursday, 28 December at 10:28am. It was one of the most damaging earthquake that hit Newcastle ever yet. The shock measured 5.6 on the Richter magnitude scale and was one of Australia's most severe natural disasters ever. An earthquake is the moment of an unexpected discharge of energy in the Earth's crust that produces seismic waves. It was very powerful that the earthquake was widespread across NSW. It was stated that the
