Day 22 - Mount Rushmore

Another gorgeous day. Another gorgeous sight. This has been such a wonderful journey. You forget just how much there is to see in our own country. This is my second trip to Mount Rushmore and Michael's first. Michael's response was the same as mine and probably most of the people who visit Mount Rushmore...What? They didn't remove the rubble?! The pile of shavings from the sculpture are all piled at the bottom. It's a beautiful sight and well worth the $10 to see it.

Lots of wildlife in this part of the country. We saw these mountain goats above as well as herds of deer and antelope.

After Mount Rushmore it was on to historic Deadwood, South Dakota, a mining town born in the 1800s when outlaws, gunslingers and gamblers ruled the streets. This is the place where famous gunslinger and lawman Wild Bill Hickok was killed playing a game of poker. When he was shot in the back, he was holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights, all black. This has since become known as the "Dead Man's Hand." Today the entire town of Deadwood is a National Historic Landmark. We decided this would be our annual casino visit. We didn't win much, but it was fun nonetheless.

Day 21 - The Badlands

"Think of all the beauty still left
around you and be happy."
-Anne Frank

Today we drove the scenic byway through the Badlands National Park. It's a very beautiful place....except for the 15 miles of gravel road we didn't know about. Poor Bessie really needs a good wash. (Bessie is our van.)

Day 21 - Corn Palace, Wall Drug

And today we drove past the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota....

The Corn Palace murals are all made out of corn (husks and all)

And we spent some time wandering around quirky Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota. It's the biggest drug store in the world made famous in the 1930's by offering free ice water and posting signs the world around. The first billboard we saw said, "Wall Drug only 355 miles ahead!" They still offer "free ice water" and "5 cent coffee." I had a yummy burger made from buffalo. And we took lots of silly pictures....

Day 20 - Frank Lloyd Wright Country

We have been experiencing an unexpected side benefit of our "little jaunt" across the country. We keep driving thru Frank Lloyd Wright country! In western Pennsylvania we drove past the "Falling Water" house - a house actually built atop a waterfall.

And yesterday we were driving along a Wisconsin highway admiring the lovely green countryside when we came upon several enormous houses and fascinating buildings also created by Frank Lloyd Wright-the Taliesen. I don't have any pictures of this, because we came upon it so suddenly. Actually, we nearly drove off the road rubbernecking. But here is that website:
Then we passed thru Amish country. Not that that has anything to do with Frank Lloyd Wright, but it's still cool. This I have pictures of:

Can you imagine plowing a field with a team of 8 horses?!?

Here we bought yummy soaps and yummy chocolates.

And then! And then...we were driving out of another small town when the car in front of us lost a tire. Literally. The car swerved suddenly and came to a very abrupt stop on the side of the road and the front right tire just kept on going down the road, off the side, and out into a field. We stopped and made sure she was okay. Turns out all four lug nuts sheared completely off. I've never seen that before.

Finally, after driving the entire width of Minnesota, we made it across the Mississippi river and spent the night in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Day 19 - The House On The Rock

"My house will stand on a rock on a hill.

Overlooking a valley deep and still."
-Alex Jordan

Yesterday we visited The House On The Rock Attraction in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was the coolest thing I have seen in years! I would have driven 100 miles out of my way just to see this. It is ingenious and insane, super swanky and a little bit creepy in spots. It is the Hearst Castle of the Midwest-especially when you consider that when Alex Jordan started building his house on a rock, it was so remote he had to carry all the stone and mortar in on his back.

The "Infinity Room" is 200 feet long with 3,000 windows that juts out over the rocky valley - 168 feet to the bottom. And it's cantilevered. When you walk out to the end it tips and bounces.

Inside the "Infinity Room"

Alex Jordan started building the House On The Rock in 1946. He wanted to be far away from people to explore his imagination. However his visionary architecture sparked the interest of his neighbors. In an effort to discourage gawkers he started charging admission, but this had the opposite effect-it attracted more attention! Now with this ever-increasing income he was able to indulge his eccentric - bordering on obsessive compulsive - collecting. My favorite rooms were the whale room, the breathtaking organ room, and the carousel room.

The whale room at the House On The Rock. This is a replica of a whale locked into battle with a giant octopus. The whale is 200 feet tall and as long as the Statue of Liberty is tall. If you look down near the right corner, you can see Michael! (Click on the picture to see larger.) What's more amazing is that this isn't even the largest room.

The actual house is 14 rooms built on a pinnacle of rock. This is every little boys fantasy! It certainly was mine. A groovy house that is part condo part cave...so cool. Following the house is a peculiar, outlandish complex of rooms, streets, buildings and gardens covering 200 acres. There is simply too much for me to talk about,

Super swanky is the word I use to describe the endless couches!

The "Winter Room"

The House On The Rock also has the largest carousel. It boasts over 20,000 lights and 269 handcrafted animals - not one of them a horse. Here is video:

I took more pictures - oh, about a gazillion pictures - far too many to post here, so I have uploaded them all to picasa. Please have a look! It's so cool:

Eccentric America meets Roadside Attraction at the Don Q Inn

This morning we left the Shuberts and drove 9 hours through Cleveland and Chicago to Dodgeville, Wisconsin, which is just east of Madison, Wisconsin. We are staying the weekend at the Don Q Inn. I saw it online and instantly knew we had to stay here.

Lobby of the Don Q Inn in Dodgeville, Wisconsin

The Don Q Inn was featured in People Magazine! In 1988.... It’s hilarious. For example, the lobby is dominated by a mammoth fire pit surrounded by old-style barber chairs. I mean, what? They have seriously wacky “themed” fantasy suites called “Fantasuites”, but we are staying in a standard room. It's old and has dark wood paneling reminiscent of a medieval dungeon. We’ve stayed in much worse. And out front is a giant Boeing C-97 that Farah Fawcett signed after filming a commercial here many years ago. I mean, what? Oh, and there’s also an underground tunnel that leads to the restaurant next door. I’m thoroughly enjoying this. Tomorrow we visit the House On The Rock.

Day 15 - Visit with the Schuberts in Cleveland, Ohio

Michael with Bev, Jack, and Chris Schubert

Okay! Listen up, people! The Schuberts RULE! Bev, Chris, and Jack Schubert are former clients of ours from Seattle. About 2 years ago they moved out to Cleveland, Ohio - where Chris is from originally - and since this was on our path more or less, we decided we had to visit them.

On Wednesday we zipped out of Philadelphia and headed west. The roads in western Pennsylvania are gorgeous. And they should be! The tolls cost us $32. We passed through several mountains on our way to Ohio. That’s right, through. Rather than winding around or over, the interstate tunnels right through Alleghany Mountain, Blue Mountain, and several others.

Interstate 276 tunnel through Blue mountain in western Pennsylvania.

After a quick seven hours on the road we arrived at the Schubert’s place outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Holy beautiful house, batman! They are currently living in a stunning 6-bedroom house that sits on 7 manicured acres and includes a 4-car garage and two ponds loaded with frogs, one large turtle and fish. And it’s for sale! Spread the word!!! Bev and Chris and Jack are moving back to Seattle (hooray!) as soon as they can sell their place.

I hate imposing upon people, but they made us feel so comfortable that we stayed 3 days! They took us to local restaurants like Sokolowski’s where you can load yourself with piles of polish cooking. I LOVE local restaurants! And they made sure we visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. I had no idea this was in Cleveland, so I’m thankful they suggested it. Most of the time we just hung out…in their cavernous house. Soooo cool. Thank you Bev and Chris!! (We are still stuffed!)

Here are a few pictures I took of their place:

A beautiful house in the country

The Schubert's house feels like it is way out in the peaceful countryside even though it's only minutes to downtown Cleveland.

Food and Fun:

Michael getting ready to chow down on his lunch from Sokolowski's. If you're ever in Cleveland check this place out.

The Smithsonian Castle

We had one thing left to see in DC before heading west. And that was the Smithsonian. Now, I realize that there are miles and miles of Smithsonian exhibits in many, many buildings. So, I narrowed it down. I wanted to see the Castle and I wanted to visit the National Museum of Natural History. Ever since seeing a picture book of this museum as a kid I've wanted to go here. It's an item to check off my bucket list!

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Hall of Dinosaurs

We also had a chance to visit with my cousin David Palmer, who lives and works in DC. He is employed by Homeland Security and the part of his job that he can actually talk about...involves the deportation of foreign spies operating on U.S. soil. Cool, huh? We had lunch at a DC Steak House - just the kind of place you can picture lobbyists and politicians swinging deals and making plans for our future.

Me and my cousin David. I don't remember it being that windy.

Washington Monument on the Mall

Michael and Anne in front of Independence Hall

1776 anyone? Every time I see Independence Hall in Philadelphia I start humming songs from the movie musical 1776 like John Adams singing: "We piddle, twiddle, and resolve. Not one damn thing do we solve in foul, feted, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia!" And I picture the great Ron Holgate as Richard Henry Lee of Virginia roaring around on his horse singing: "Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee, everywhere-a-Lee-a-Lee! And may my blood stop running blue, if I can't deliver unto you a resolution on independency!" But enough of the musical references...

We had another great visit to another historic city today. This was my second time in Philly, and it wasn't as emotional as my first trip. I was really surprised at how patriotic I felt seeing Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell for the first time. But that was prior to 9/11 and you could walk pretty much anywhere you wanted. Today, you have to pass through security cordons and have your bag checked to get near anything. It still brings out my inner patriot, though. It's wonderful to see where our bid for independence began. To walk one block and be where Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence. To sit in the shade of the Betsy Ross house. To send postcards from Benjamin Franklin's Free Post Office -- where old Ben invented the postal system that we still use today. So much history!

The Betsy Ross House

We also visited the Rodin Museum where we saw "The Gates of Hell" and "The Thinker". It's a free museum, so definitely worth the trip.

AND we stuffed ourselves silly with cheese steak sandwiches at Pat's King of Steaks.

Mmmmmm....cheese steak....drool....

Sarat Chandra Chattopadhaya, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhaya, Mir Mosharraf Hossain and Kazi Ahdul Wadud are the pioneers of modern Bengali Literature.

Music:

The traditional music in Bangladesh shares the perspectives of that of the Indian sub-continent. Music in Bangladesh can be divided into three distinct categories -classical, folk and modern. The classical music, both vocal and instrumental is rooted in the remote past of the sub-continent. Ustad Alauddin Khan and Ustad Ayet Ali Khan are two names in classical instrumental music who are internationally known.

The store of folk song abounds in spiritual lyrics of Lalan Shah, Hasan Raja, Romesh Shill and many anonymous lyricists. Bangla music arena is enriched with Jari, Shari, Bhatiali, Murshidi and other types of folk songs. Rabindra Sangeet and Nazrul Sangeet are Bangalees' precious heritage.

Originally country musical instruments include, Banshi (bamboo flute), Dhole (wooden drums), Ektara (a single stringed instrument), Dotara (a four stringed instrument), Mandira (a pair of metal bawls used as rhythm instrument), Khanjani, Sharinda etc. Now-a-days western instruments such as Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Synthesizer etc. are being used alongside country instruments.

	Folk Dance

Classical forms of the sub-continent predominate in Bangladeshi dance. The folk, tribal and Middle Eastern traits are also common. Among the tribal dances, particularly popular are Monipuri and Santal. Rural girls are in the habit of dancing that does not require any grammar or regulations. Bangla songs like jari and shari are presented accompanied with dance of both male and female performers.

Jatra:
Jatra(Folk Drama) is another vital chapter of Bangalee culture. It depicts mythological episodes of love and tragedy. Legendary plays of heroism are also popular, particularly in the rural areas. In near past jatra was the biggest entertainment means for the rural Bangalees and in that sense for 80% of the population since the same percentage of the population lived in rural Bangladesh. Now-a-days jatra has been placed in the back seat in the entertainment era. Gradually western culture is occupying the place of traditional culture like joyful.

Traditional Transportation Means:

Palki

There are some transportation means that are parts of culture of Bangladesh. In rural areas bullock carts, buffalo carts and tomtoms (horse carts) are commonly used. In old Dhaka once tomtom was a common vehicle and still it is found, though rare. Bicycles are used both in rural and urban areas. Palki (a box-like vehicle carried on shoulders by six men) is a wedding transportation means. Brides are carried to the bridegrooms' places by Palki. Being a land crisscrossed by rivers, Bangladesh has a wide-ranged tradition of ferry transport. Wooden boat popularly called nawka is a vital means of rural communication. Rickshaw is a very common vehicle to Bangladeshis.

Clothing:
Bangladeshi women habitually wear Sarees. Jamdani was once world famous for it's most artistic and expensive ornamental fabric. Moslin, a fine and artistic type of cloth was well-known worldwide. Naksi Kantha, embroidered quilted patchwork cloth produced by the village women, is still familiar in villages and towns simultaneously. A common hairstyle is Beni (twisted bun) that Bangalee women are fond of. Traditionally males wear Panjabis, Fatuas and Pajamas. Hindus wear Dhuty for religious purposes. Now-a-days common dresses of males are shirts and pants.

Government and non-government organizations like Bangla Academy, Nazrul Institute, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, Fine arts Institute, Chhayanat etc. play significant role to flourish Bangladeshi art and culture providing encouragement in music, drama, dance, recitation, art etc. Many other cultural organizations are also popularizing Bangladeshi art and culture.

In cities,it is becoming more common for gifts to be given on birthdays.In Bangladesh the importance of gifts is in the thought rateher than the value.Part of the reason lies in the fact that gifts should be generally reciprocated and it would be considered rude to offer someone a gift that is difficult to reciprocate.

Business Etiquette, Protocol and Customs in Bangladesh

Communication Styles

. Bangladeshis are quite implicit/indirect communicators. They tend to communicate in long, rich and contextualized sentences which only make sense when properly understood in relation to body language.
. It is important for people who come from implicit/direct cultures to understand that their communication styles may be seen as rude and the information provided inadequate.
. Personal space is less of an issue in Bangladesh than many European cultures. Bengalis stand close when speaking to someone of the same gender and touch is common.
. However, when speaking with a woman the space is often increased.

Meeting & Greeting

. Business etiquette in Bangladesh is reasonably formal. Proper behaviour is expected.
. Men greet each other with a handshake upon arriving and leaving.
. Foreign men should nod to a Bangladeshi woman unless she extends her hand. Businessmen should be addressed by the term "Bahadur" ("Sir"), while women may be addressed as "Begum" ("Madam"). This may be used with or without the surname.
. Wait until your counterpart moves to a first name basis before you do so.

Business Card Etiquette

. Business cards are exchanged after the initial introduction.
. Educational qualifications are valued so include any university degrees.
. Present your business card with the right hand.
. Treat business cards given to you with respect. Merely glancing at it then throwing it on the table would be rude. Study it, comment on it and ideally place it into a business card holder.

Business Meetings

. Meetings in Bangladesh are generally the place where decisions are disseminated rather than made.
. They will usually be led by the most senior present who sets the agenda, the content, and the pace of the activities.
. Meeting structures are not very linear in Bangladesh. There may be an agenda and a starting time, but they only serve as guidelines.
. Completing a meeting fully takes priority over time and may extend well past any scheduled end time.
. Meetings may commence with some small talk.
. Communication is formal and follows a hierarchical structure. Deference to the most senior person in the group is expected. This is especially true when dealing with government officials.
. One should never let their level of professionalism slip. Casual behaviour may be misinterpreted as a lack of respect.
. Never lose your temper or show emotion. This may lead to a loss of face which will mean a loss of dignity and respect.
. The need to avoid a loss of face is also reflected in communication styles. Rather than say no or disappoint people Bangladeshis will phrase sentiments in such as way that it is up to people to read between the lines to understand what is being implied. Phrases such as "we will try", "that may be difficult", or "we will have to give that some though" may really mean "this can't be done".
. Therefore, it is important to ask questions in several ways so you can be certain what was meant by a vague response. Silence is often used as a communication tool.
. Many people comment on the lack of smiles in Bangladesh. This has nothing to do with unfriendliness but rather related to the fact that a serious face is believed to demonstrate maturity.

Bangladesh has a history. The land, the rivers and the lives of the common people formed a rich heritage with marked differences from neighbouring regions. It has evolved over the centuries and encompasses the cultural diversity of several social groups of Bangladesh.

The culture of Bangladesh is composite and over centuries has assimilated influences of Hinduism,Jainism, Buddhism,Buddhism,Islam, and Christianity.

The classical style has been influenced by other prevalent classical forms of music and dances of the Indian subcontinet,and accordingly show some influences dance forms like Bharata Natyam and Natyam and Kuchipudi.The folk and tribal music and dance forms of Bangladesh are of indigenous origin and rooted to the soil of Bangladesh. Several dancing styles in vogue in the north-eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, like Monipuri and Santal dances, are also practiced in Bangladesh, but Bangladesh has developed its own distinct dancing styles, for example Nitoshilpi.

Bangladesh has a rich tradition of folk songs, with lyrics rooted into vibrant tradition and spirituality,spirituality,mysticism and devotion. Such folk songs also revolve round several other themes, including love themes.

Most prevalent of folk songs and music traditions include Bhatiali,Baul,Marfati,Murshidi and Bhawaiya.

Currently, several musical instruments of western origin lik eguitar,drums,andsaxophone are also used, sometimes alongside the traditional instruments.

Festivals and celebrations

Festivals and celebrations are integral part of the culture of Bangladesh. Prominent and widely celebrated festivals are Pohela Baishakh, Independence day, National Mourning Day,Eid-ul-Fitr,Eid-ul-Azha,Muharram,Durga puja,and Language movement Day.

About Eid-ul-Fitr:

As the most important religious festival for the majority Muslims, the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr has become a part of the culture of Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh declares holiday for three days on Eid-ul Fitar. People living in towns having their families or parents in villages go to their country homes to meet relatives and celebrate the festival together. All outgoing public transport from the major cities become highly crowded and in many cases the fares tend to rise in spite of government restrictions.

Adult Muslim males in Bangladesh assemble at the Eid Ghah for prayer in the morning of the Eid day

On Eid day,Eid prayers are held all over the country, in open areas like fields or else inside mosques. In Dhaka, the largest Eid prayer is held at the national Eidgah. All major mosques including the Baitul Mukarram also holds prayers. The biggest congregation of Bangladesh is held at Sholakia in Kishoreganj, where about half a million people join the Eid prayer. the Eid prayers, people return home, visit each other's home and eat sweet dishes called Shirni. Throughout the day gentlemen embrace each other. It is also customary for junior members of the society to touch the feet of the seniors, and seniors returning blessings (sometimes with a small sum of money as a gift).

In the rural areas Eid festival is observed with great fanfare. In some areas Eid fares are arranged. Different types of games including boat race,kabbadi, other traditional Bangladeshi games as well as modern games like football and cricket are played on this occasion.

In urban areas people play music, visit each other's houses and eat special food. Watching movies and television programs has also become an integral part of Eid celebration in urban areas. All local TV channels air special program for several days for this occasion.

Eid-ul-Adha

About Eid-ul Adha:

The celebration of Eid ul-Adha is similar to Eid ul-Fitar in many ways. The only big difference is the Qurbani or sacrifice of domestic animals on Eid ul-Adha. Numerous temporary marketplaces of different sizes called Haat operate in the big cities for sale of Qurbani animals (usually cows and goats).

In the morning on the Eid day, immediately after the prayer, those who can afford to slaughter their animal of choice. Less affluent people also take part in the festivity by visiting houses of the affluent who are taking part in qurbani. After the qurbani a large portion of the meat is given to the poor people.

Although the religious doctrine allows the sacrifice anytime over a period of three days starting from the Eid day, most people prefer to perform the ritual on the first day of Eid. However, the public holiday spans over three to four days. Many people from the big cities go to their ancestral houses/homes in the villages to share the joy of the festival with friends and relatives.

Pohela Boishakh

Main article: Pohela Boishakh

Pohela Baishakh celebration in Dhaka

Language Movement Day

Main article: Language Movement Day

Shaheed Minar, or the Martyr's monument, located near the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.

Language Movement Day is a unique part of the culture of Bangladesh. Every year on February 21 this day is observed to pay tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives to establish Bengali as the official language of then East Pakistan in 1952. The mood of the day is sad and humble.

The celebration of Language Movement Day goes on the entire month of February. Ekushey Book Fair is a book fair arranged to mark this occasion every year. The fair has also become an integral part of the culture of Bangladesh. Authors and readers in Bangladesh eagerly await the fair each year.

To commemorate this movement, Shaheed Minar, a solemn and symbolic sculpture, was erected in the place of the massacre. Today the Shaheed Minar is the centre of cultural activities in Dhaka. On the morning of February 21 each year, people from all walks of life including the national leaders pay tribute to the martyrs by leaving flowers at Shaheed Minar. A very melodious and melancholy song, Amar Bhaier Rokte Rangano, written by Abdul Gaffar Choudhury and composed by Altaf Mahmud, is played repeatedly in electronic media and cultural gatherings throughout the month, and especially on February 21. This song, too, has become a symbolic mark of culture of Bangladesh.

A Bangladeshi couple at marriage ceremony

Bengali weddings are traditionally in five parts: first it is the bride and groom's Mehendi Shondha,the bride's Gaye Holud, the groom's Gaye Holud, the Beeya and the Bou Bhaat. These often take place on separate days. The first event in a wedding is an informal one: the groom presents the bride with a ring marking the "engagement" which is gaining popularity.

For the mehendi shondha the bride's side apply henna to each other as well as the bride For the bride's Gaye Holud, the groom's family - except the groom himself - go in procession to the bride's home.[[Image:Gaye holude.jpg|right|thumb|Bride's friends and family apply turmeric paste to her body as a part of Gaye Hoof bride, and they are traditionally all in matching clothes, mostly orange in colour. The bride is seated on a dais, and the henna is used to decorate the bride's hands and feet with elaborate abstract designs. The sweets are then fed to the bride by all involved, piece by piece. The actual wedding ceremony "Beeye" follows the Gaye Holud ceremonies. The wedding ceremony is arranged by the bride's family. On the day, the younger members of the bride's family barricade the entrance to the venue, and demand a sort of admission charge from the groom in return for allowing him to enter. The bride and groom are seated separately, and a Kazi (authorized person by the govt. to perform the wedding), accompanied by the parents and a Wakil (witness) from each side formally asks the bride for her consent to the union, and then the groom for his. The bride's side of the family tries to play some kind of practical joke on the groom such as stealing the groom's shoe.

The reception, also known as Bou-Bhaat (reception), is a party given by the groom's family in return for the wedding party. It is typically a much more relaxed affair, with only the second-best wedding outfit being worn.

Sports

About Bangladeshi Sports

Soccer, cricket and kabaddi. Kabaddi is the national sport of Bangladesh. Cricket is a game which has a massive and passionate following in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has joined the elite group of countries eligible to play Test cricket since 2000. The Bangladesh national cricket team goes by the nick-name of the Tigers—after the Royal Bengal Tiger.

The people of Bangladesh enjoy watching live sports. Whenever there is a cricket or football match between popular local teams or international teams in any local stadium significant number of spectators gather to watch the match live. The people also celebrate major victories of the national team with a great enthusiasm for the live game. Victory processions are the most common element in such celebrations.

A former prime minister even made an appearance after an international one day cricket match in which Bangladesh beat Australia, she came to congratulate the victory.

Also in late 2006/early 2007, football legend Zinedine Zidane paid a visit to local teams and various events thanks to the invite of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus.

Religion in Bangladesh

Traffic Jam of Dhaka

2010-04-15T05:53:00.000-07:00

I live in Dhaka, only 20 minutes away from my university; but I get out from my house about 1 hour and 15 minutes before class will start. Because of terrible traffic jam, most of the time it takes about an hour to reach university. I remember a week, right after Eid-ul-Fitr Dhaka city was like half empty, at that week I went to university in 20 minutes.

Dhaka is a mega city. More than twelve million people live here. Day by day the number is increasing and most part of Dhaka is badly affected by the population growth. More than 7 hundred thousand rickshaws ply the city road, but only 75 thousand have legal number. This huge number of rickshaws is creating traffic jam. From time to time attempts are made to reduce the number, but the initiative usually produces no results. The number of rickshaw pullers is huge. Almost there are no roads or street or lane free from traffic jam.

Traffic jam is obstructing trade and commerce. Illegal parking is another reason for traffic jam. Cars, trucks and other vehicles are parked almost everywhere. Faulty traffic signaling systems, inadequate manpower and narrow road spaces and overtaking tendency of drivers create pro-longed traffic congestions and intensify sufferings of commuters keeping people motionless as well as creating suffocating condition in the streets. Also there are bus terminals not authorized by the traffic department and drivers do not go by traffic rules. VIP protocol maintaining is another reason for frequent traffic jams in the streets and divider problem in the city’s different important roads also causes congestion. Besides, illegal car parking, and unplanned road excavating on the same road by Water and Sewer Authority (WASA), Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (DESA), telephone and telegraph agencies without any integration among them, is responsible for intolerable traffic jams. In any roundabout in Dhaka the plying CNG, ricksha, bus, etc form multiple lines. They do this to grab a tiny space out of sheer desperation. Behavioral scientists have long since done experiments to show that even insects demonstrate aggressive behavior when they are placed in a crowded situation. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see that Dhaka’s pedestrians, thelawallahs, rickshaw pullers, CNG drivers, van pullers, and bus/truck drivers all vie for tiny spaces with noticeable aggression and utter disregard for others’ right of way. This obviously creates serious problems such as unnecessary traffic holdup and minor fender bender incidences. Nonetheless, there is a price tag for such bizarre behavior. The traffic managers have failed to do anything about this problem and the situation is going from bad to worse day by day.

Most of time, I see that during jam traffic police just let one side go for like 5 minutes or more which increase the jam more. They should manage it more professionally; they could let go each side 1 minute.

To reduce traffic jam we can take steps such as:

Have a good public transport system so people would use it
Ban rickshaw from the main roads of Dhaka
Good traffic system
Good lane system
Traffic police should do their duty properly
Use zebra cross and foot over bridge
Respect the law

Traffic anomalies in front of Fulbaria bus stand .It is the common scenario in the Dhaka city .Fulbaria bus stand is the busyest bus stop in our city.we need to solve our problem otherwise we lost our time .

Rampura road blocked : death at DMCH

The relatives put up barricade on Rampura TV Road this morning as police picked up the family members of a person who died yesterday allegedly due to the negligence of an intern doctor at Dhaka Medical College Hospital .

Traffic comes to standstill in city

Immediately after BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia came out of the makeshift special jail on Sangsad Bhaban premises, her followers who poured into city streets to greet their leader on Thursday took control of thoroughfares amid scorching heat.Traffic movement in the area virtually collapsed from 11:30am while it created rippling effect on other thoroughfares. The BNP chairperson later visited her ailing elder son Tarique Rahman at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. A large number of BNP supporters followed her vehicle creating obstacles to the movement of the commuters. Later, she traveled to the party office at Naya Paltan where thousands of supporters thronged to see their leader.

Thousands of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders, activists and followers take to the street and block part of Rokeya Sarani from Khamarbari to Bijoy Sarani forcing traffic into a grinding halt yesterday after two top leaders of the party were sent to jail by a special court .

Trapped in tailbacks

Return of a huge number of unfit buses and illegal rickshaws on the streets is the main reason for worsening traffic congestion in the city, say traffic cops and public transport employees.They also blame the tailbacks on a rapid rise in the number of new cars with little expansion of the road network.Special measures to ensure smooth movement of the VVIPs’ vehicles only add to the sufferings of commuters. And to make matters still worse, protest rallies blocking roads have intensified in the last three days.Speaking in return for anonymity, a traffic sergeant said the out-of-condition buses that were banned from the city streets have got back to business with changes on the exterior to look new .

Many factors work behind traffic jams

Faulty traffic signaling systems, inadequate manpower and narrow road spaces and overtaking tendency of drivers create pro-longed traffic congestions and intensify sufferings of commuters keeping people motionless as well as creating suffocating condition in the streets.VIP protocol maintaining is another reason for frequent traffic jams in the streets and divider problem in the city’s different important roads also causes congestion. Besides, illegal car parking, and unplanned road excavating on the same road by WASA, DESA, and telephone and telegraph agencies without any integration among them, are responsible for intolerable traffic jams.

Chaotic traffic making a comeback in Dhanmondi

The one-way sign is still there in Dhanmondi. But the traffic jam is on the increase because of poor attention.Dhanmondi residents enjoyed a month-long run of virtually empty, traffic-free streets thanks to the back-to-back holidays of Eid-ul-Azha, national elections and year-end as most of the educational institutions were closed during the time.But that is about to end. “The bad news is classes in many schools have resumed. In another week or two classes in all schools will be in full swing and then terrible traffic jams in Dhanmondi will be back as usual

Suitable time for Washing Glasses.

Traffic Jam kills time. So often drivers of the tempo’s and four stock three wheeler vehicles are seen washing their glasses while waiting for a release from the suffocating boring and time killing traffic jam.

Common Scenario of Dhaka City.

Driver do not go by traffic rules. And there are bus terminals not authorized by the traffic department. The traffic police have failed to do anything about this problem and the situation is going from bad to worse day by day.

Load shedding Problem in Bangladesh

2010-04-15T05:49:00.000-07:00

Bangladesh have huge lack load shedding of electricity. Almost all part of Dhaka having load shedding of electricity everyday at least six to seven hours eveyday. In Karwan Bazar, power disruption occurred five times with more than five hours of outage between 8:00am and 5:00pm and in 24 hours almost eight to nine hours. Multiple power cuts for periods totaling six to seven hours occurred in Eskaton Garden, Dhanmondi, Kalabagan, Moghbazar, Khilgaon, Goran, Shahjahanpur, Mohammadpur, Banani, Uttara and other places.

Every summer Bangladesh face huge load shedding problem. According to the official statistics, the country’s electricity shortage gone up 1000 megawatts (MW) to 1259 MW with the demand of 4806 MW on 2006. Authority said this year (2009) about 1400 MW to 1800 MW electricity shortage will face this year, which is almost twice more than last year and the country need about 5000 MW. So this summer we might face the problem that’s we have not face last ten years. In Bangladesh electricity power is not generate as much as our demand. So every summer we face huge load shedding and people are suffering, but in winter there is almost not load shedding. In summer temperatures goes up to around 40° Celsius. So in this situation if there is load-shedding of electricity people face uncertain condition.

Power Development Board (PDB) sources said while the official power demand was just 5000MW, the unofficial demand was hovering around 6000 MW. The officially estimated power demand is 5000 MW against a generation of around 3500 MW. Around 1500 MW power could not be generated due to short supply of gas to many power plants. Gas is a major concern also because several new gas-fired power plants with nearly 1000 MW generation capacity are expected to be drafted into service this year. “We are expecting 200MW new power generation from May. If we cannot ensure the gas supplies, it will become meaningless” PDB pointed out.

A PDB official said the real power situation was worse than the official picture. “The Rural Electrification Board (REB) needs 2500 MW, but is given less than half of that. Dhaka Electricity Supply Authority (DESA) and Dhaka Electric Supply Company (DESCO) need more than 2000 MW power and the PDB needs another 2000 MW,” he added.

On 2007 government said by 2010 Bangladesh will be a load shedding free country. “We have set a target to generate sufficient electricity by the year 2010 to reach a level where there will be no load shedding,” said Mirza Azizul Islam, finance and planning adviser. But we don’t see any result of it day by day the rate of load shedding is increasing.

MOBILE PHONE

Mobile Phone Create Information

A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone) is an electronic device used for mobile telecommunications (mobile telephone, text messaging or data transmission) over a cellular network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. Mobile phones differ from cordless telephones, which only offer telephone service within limited range, e.g. within a home or an office, through a fixed line and a base station owned by the subscriber and also from satellite phones and radio telephones. As opposed to a radio telephone, a cell phone offers full duplex communication, automates calling to and paging from a public land mobile network (PLMN), and handoff (handover) during a phone call when the user moves from one cell (base station coverage area) to another.

The International Telecommunication Union estimated that mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide would reach approximately 4.6 billion by the end of 2009. Mobile phones have gained increased importance in the sector of Information and communication technologies for development in the 2000s and have effectively started to reach the bottom of the economic pyramid.

History

Main article: History of mobile phones

Analog Motorola DynaTAC 8000X Advanced Mobile Phone System mobile phone as of 1983

In 1908, U.S. Patent 887,357 for a wireless telephone was issued to Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky. He applied this patent to "cave radio" telephones and not directly to cellular telephony as the term is currently understood.^[3] Cells for mobile phone base stations were invented in 1947 by Bell Labs engineers at AT&T and further developed by Bell Labs during the 1960s. Radiophones have a long and varied history going back to Reginald Fessenden's invention and shore-to-ship demonstration of radio telephony, through the Second World War with military use of radio telephony links and civil services in the 1950s, while hand-held mobile radio devices have been available since 1973.

Analog cellular telephony (1G)

The initial launch network covered the full metropolitan area of Tokyo's over 20 million inhabitants with a cellular network of 23 base stations. Within five years, the NTT network had been expanded to cover the whole population of Japan and became the first nation-wide 2G network.

Several countries were among the earliest to launch 1G networks in the early 1980s including the UK, Mexico and Canada. The first 1G network launched in the USA was Chicago based Ameritech in 1983 using the famous first hand-held mobile phone Motorola DynaTAC. In 1984, Bell Labs developed modern commercial cellular technology (based, to a large extent, on the Gladden, Parelman Patent), which employed multiple, centrally controlled base stations (cell sites), each providing service to a small area (a cell). The cell sites would be set up such that cells partially overlapped. In a cellular system, a signal between a base station (cell site) and a terminal (phone) only need be strong enough to reach between the two, so the same channel can be used simultaneously for separate conversations in different cells.

Digital mobile communication (2G)

Main articles: 2G, 2.5G, and 2.75G

The first "modern" network technology on digital 2G (second generation) cellular technology was launched by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Group) in 1991 in Finland on the GSM standard which also marked the introduction of competition in mobile telecoms when Radiolinja challenged incumbent Telecom Finland (now part of TeliaSonera) who ran a 1G NMT network.

The first commercial payment system to mimic banks and credit cards was launched in the Philippines in 1999 simultaneously by mobile operators Globe and Smart. The first content sold to mobile phones was the ringing tone, first launched in 1998 in Finland. The first full internet

service on mobile phones was introduced by NTT DoCoMo in Japan in 1999.Broadband Fourth generation (4G)

The recently released 4th generation, also known as Beyond 3G, aims to provide broadband wireless access with nominal data rates of 100 Mbit/s to fast moving devices, and 1 Gbit/s to stationary devices defined by the ITU- systems may be based on the 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) cellular standard, offering peak bit rates of 326.4 Mbit/s. It may perhaps also be based on WiMax or Flash-OFDM wireless metropolitan area network technologies that promise broadband wireless access with speeds that reaches 233 Mbit/s for mobile users. The radio interface in these systems is based on all-IP packet switching, MIMO diversity, multi-carrier modulation schemes, dynamic channel assignment (DCA) and channel-dependent scheduling. A 4G system should be a complete replacement for current network

Uses

Mobile phones are used for a variety of purposes, including keeping in touch with family members, conducting business, and having access to a telephone in the event of an emergency.

Organizations that aid victims of domestic violence may offer a cell phone to potential victims without the abuser's knowledge. These devices are often old phones that are donated and refurbished to meet the victim's emergency needs.

Child predators have taken advantage of cell phones to secretly communicate with children without the knowledge of their parents or teachers

Multiple phones

Individuals may have multiple cell phones for separate purposes, such as for business and personal use. Multiple phones or multiple SIM cards may be used to take advantage of the benefits of different calling plans—a particular plan might provide cheaper local calls, long-distance calls, international calls, or roaming

Handsets

There are several categories of mobile phones, from basic phones to feature phones such as musicphones and cameraphones. There are also smartphones, the first smartphone was the Nokia 9000 Communicator in 1996 which incorporated PDA functionality to the basic mobile phone at the time. As miniaturisation and increased processing power of microchips has enabled ever more features to be added to phones, the concept of the smartphone has evolved, and what was a high-end smartphone five years ago, is a standard phone today

Features

Main articles: Mobile phone features and Smartphone

Mobile phones often have features extending beyond sending text messages and making voice calls, including call registers, GPS navigation, music (MP3) and video (MP4) playback, RDS radio receiver, alarms, memo and document recording, personal organiser and personal digital assistant functions, ability to watch streaming video or download video for later viewing, video calling, built-in cameras (1.0+ Mpx) and camcorders (video recording), with autofocus and flash, ringtones, games,

Software and applications

A phone with touchscreen feature.

Mobile phone subscribers per 100 inhabitants 1997–2007

The most commonly used data application on mobile phones is SMS text messaging, with 74% of all mobile phone users as active users over 2.4 billion out of 3.3 billion total subscribers at the end of 2007. SMS text messaging was worth over 100 billion dollars in annual revenues in 2007 and the worldwide average of messaging use is 2.6 SMS sent per day per person across the whole mobile phone subscriber base (source Informa 2007). The first SMS text message was sent from a computer to a mobile phone in 1992 in the UK, while the first person-to-person SMS from phone to phone was sent in Finland in 1993.

Power supply

Mobile phones generally obtain power from rechargeable batteries. There are a variety of ways used to charge cell phones, including USB, portable batteries, mains power (using an AC adapter), cigarette lighters (using an adapter), or a dynamo. In 2009, wireless charging became a reality, and the first wireless charger was released for consumer use.

Charger efficiency

The world's five largest handset makers introduced a new rating system in November 2008 to help consumers more easily identify the most energy-efficient chargers

The majority of energy lost in a mobile phone charger is in its no load condition, when the mobile phone is not connected but the charger has been left plugged in and using power. To combat this in November 2008 the top five mobile phone manufacturers Nokia, Samsung, LG Electronics, Sony Ericsson and Motorola set up a star rating system to rate the efficiency of their chargers in the no-load condition. Starting at zero stars for >0.5 W and going up to the top five star rating for <0.03>

SIM card

In addition to the battery, GSM mobile phones require a small microchip, called a Subscriber Identity Module or SIM Card, to function. Approximately the size of a small postage stamp, the SIM Card is usually placed underneath the battery in the rear of the unit, and (when properly activated) stores the phone's configuration data, and information about the phone itself, such as which calling plan the subscriber is using. When the subscriber removes the SIM Card, it can be re-inserted into another phone that is configured to accept the SIM card^[31] and used as normal.
The MSL applies to the SIM only so once the contract has been completed the MSL still applies to the SIM. The phone however, is also initially locked by the manufacturer into the Service Providers MSL. This lock may be disabled so that the phone can use other Service Providers SIM cards. Most phones purchased outside the US are unlocked phones because there are numerous Service Providers in close proximity to one another or have overlapping coverage. The cost to unlock a phone varies but is usually very cheap and is sometimes provided by independent phone vendors.

MARKET
The world's largest individual mobile operator is China Mobile with over 500 million mobile phone subcribers. The world's largest mobile operator group by subscribers is UK based Vodafone. There are over 600 mobile operators and carriers in commercial production worldwide. Over 50 mobile operators have over 10 million subscribers each, and over 150 mobile operators have at least one million subscribers by the end of 2008 source wireless intelligence.

Media

The mobile phone became a mass media channel in 1998 when the first ringtones were sold to mobile phones by Radiolinja in Finland. Soon other media content appeared such as news, videogames, jokes, horoscopes, TV content and advertising. In 2006 the total value of mobile phone paid media content exceeded internet paid media content and was worth 31 Billion dollars source Informa 2007.

Privacy

Cell phones have numerous privacy issues associated with them, and are regularly used by governments to perform surveillance.

Use while driving

Main article: Mobile phones and driving safety

Mobile phone use while driving is common but controversial. Being distracted while operating a motor vehicle has been shown to increase the risk of accident. Because of this, many jurisdictions prohibit the use of mobile phones while driving. Egypt, Israel, Japan, Portugal and Singapore ban both hand-held and hands-free use of a mobile phone whilst many other countries –including the UK, France, and many US states– ban hand-held phone use only, allowing hands-free use.

This is more apparent in those countries who ban both hand-held and hands-free usage, rather those who have banned hand-held use only, as officials cannot easily tell which function of the mobile phone is being used simply by visually looking at the driver. This can mean that drivers may be stopped for using their device illegally on a phone call, when in fact they were not; instead using the device for a legal purpose such as the phones' incorporated controls for car stereo or satnav usage – either as part of the cars' own device or directly on the mobile phone itself.

Schools

Some schools limit or restrict the use of mobile phones. Schools set restrictions on the use of mobile phones because of the use of cell phones for cheating on tests, harassment and bullying, causing threats to the schools security, distractions to the students and facilitating gossip and other social activity in school.

Comparison to similar systems

Professional Mobile Radio: Advanced professional mobile radio systems can be very similar to mobile phone systems.
Radio phone: This is a term which covers radios which could connect into the telephone network.
Satellite phone: This type of phone communicates directly with an artificial satellite, which in turn relays calls to a base; station or another satellite phone.
