পুরুষের পছন্দের নারীদেহ কেমন?

2011-05-01T07:31:00.000-07:00

নারীদেহ এক বড় রহস্য। আর এই রহস্যই যেন আচ্ছন্ন করে রাখে প্রতিটি সম পুরুষকে। সব পুরুষের মনেই একটা ধারণা থাকে তার পছন্দের নারীদেহ সম্পর্কে। এেেত্র ভিন্নতা থাকাটাই স্বাভাবিক। কেননা একেকজন একেক ধরনের রুচিবোধের অধিকারী। তবে অধিকাংশ পুরুষ কেমন নারীদেহ পছন্দ করে তা নিয়ে সাম্প্রতিক এক গবেষণালব্ধ তথ্য প্রকাশ করা হয়েছে। বিজ্ঞানীরা নারীর মাঝে পুরুষ কী পেতে চায় এ সম্পর্কিত শতাধিক তত্ত্ব নিয়ে বিস্তর আলোচনা পর্যালোচনা করেছেন। তাতে দেখা গেছে, অধিকাংশ পুরুষ উন্নত ব ও স্বর্ণালী চুলের অধিকারী নারীকে বেশি পছন্দ করে থাকে। এ বিচার বিবেচনায় ব্রিটিশ সুপার মডেল কেট মস এ ধরনের নারীর উৎকৃষ্ট উদাহরণ হতে পারেন। তবে যুক্তরাষ্ট্র্রের বিজ্ঞান বিষয়ক সাংবাদিক জেনা পিসকট তার ‘ডু জেন্টলম্যান রিয়্যালি প্রেফার ব ন্ডজ?’ শীর্ষক বইয়ে যে বৈজ্ঞানিক ব্যাখ্যা উপস্থাপন করেছেন তা বেশ জটিল। তার মতে, পুরুষকে আকর্ষণ করার েেত্র একজন নারীর কোমর থেকে উচ্চতা পর্যন্ত অনেক বিষয়ই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। জেনা বলেন, নারীর স্তনযুগল তার বয়স, স্বাস্থ্য ও ভালো বংশের স্বারক হিসেবে চিহ্নিত হয়ে থাকে। বিশেষজ্ঞ মতামত হলো, সরু কোমর ও বাঁকসম্পন্ন নিতম্বেরর অধিকারী নারী প্রথম দর্শনেই পুরুষের দৃষ্টি আকর্ষণ করে। অবশ্য এর সঙ্গে থাকা চাই সামঞ্জস্যপূর্র্ণ মুখাবয়ব। আবার সব সৌন্দর্যময়ী মুখই যে সামঞ্জস্যপূর্ণ তা বলা যাবে না। যদিও মুখাবয়বের এ সামঞ্জস্যপূর্ণতা একজন নারীকে আকর্ষণীয় করে তুলতে ভূমিকা পালন করে। তবে এটা এক কথায় সবাই স্বীকার করেন, কোনো নারীর উন্নত ব ও স্বর্ণালী চুল একজন পুরুষের চোখকে আকৃষ্ট করে বেশি।

Margaret Cho

Margaret started performing stand-up at age 16 in a comedy club called The Rose & Thistle above a bookstore her parents ran. Soon after, she won a comedy contest where first prize was opening for Jerry Seinfeld. She moved to Los Angeles in the early ’90s and lived in a house with several other young performers.

I moved out because I wasn’t the most famous. If the Manson Family had come, I wouldn’t have been Sharon Tate; I would have been one of the supporting victims, and who wants that? Janeane Garofalo moved into my old room. Anyway, ‘Cho’ written in blood on the wall doesn’t look as cool as ‘Garofalo.’

Windows Shows error "Can not format the pen drive" ?

2009-10-08T10:11:00.000-07:00

We have received many problems mentioning that they are not able to format their pen drives. Some of them have written that the pen drive capacity displayed is not correct.

When they try to format the pen drive, Windows Shows error "Can not format the pen drive". There can be more than one reasons behind such problems, some of the common problems are:

1. Virus or trojan infection.

2. Corrupted flash chips on the pen drive (hardware fault)

3. Fake pen drives ! (Many such drives are there in the markets, beware)

Lets see what to do to fix the issues.

Fix:

Virus or trojan infections:

Virus or trojans can run some process that keeps running in background. This not only harms the computer, but also prevents the pen drive from formatting as it shows that the drive is in use. Remove and re-insert the pen drive, don’t double click on drive and cancel autorun operations if it starts automatically. Run a virus scan on pen drive, this will help fix the issue. Now format the pen drive.

Always take precautions while using pen drives on other computers.

Safari for Windows 3.2.2

2009-10-05T22:00:00.000-07:00

When we used to see that eye catching internet browser in our friend?s Mac we didn’t expect to see it in our PC. All of us thought that such an Apple product would be always just for Mac users, but now we can enjoy that amazing browser in our Windows OS.

Safari for Windows includes several good features and options behind that really good interface. Tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, forms autofill, built-in RSS, private browsing,…

The first steps of Safari on Windows haven&39;t been as good as Apple thought and that can be really good for users, because from now on, Apple will work really hard in order to improve Safari.

The elegant interface of Safari and its expected performance can be a good reason to give Safari a try. It is said to be faster than any other browser, but it needs a bit more beta testing period

OpenOffice.org 3.0.1

2009-10-03T09:26:00.000-07:00

OpenOffice, is a free cross-platform office application suite available for a number of different computer operating systems. It supports the ISO/IEC standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) for data interchange as its default file format, as well as Microsoft Office formats among others. As of November 2008[update], OpenOffice supports over 45 languages.

OpenOffice.org was originally derived from StarOffice, an office suite developed by StarDivision and acquired by Sun Microsystems in August 1999. The source code of the suite was released in July 2000 with the aim of reducing the dominant market share of Microsoft Office by providing a free and open alternative;

later versions of StarOffice are based upon OpenOffice.org with additional proprietary components.

The project and software are informally referred to as OpenOffice, but this term is a trademark held by a company in the Netherlands co-founded by Wouter Hanegraaff and is also in use by Orange UK, requiring the project to adopt OpenOffice.org as its formal name.
