It was found that the area lacked the means for normal economic life as only some people had adequate land. As there is no business activity, providing financial help to a few will not help. It was felt that people should be trained in some skills to enable them to engage in income-generating activities. For this reaso...
Charity Alliance started Alliance School in May 2009 in response to local people's continuous demand, as the capacity of an existing school in the area was not sufficient and one government primary school was washed away due to Padma river erosion (which is the main cause of all the problems in the region). Alliance Sc...

World leaders passed two major milestones in the pursuit of an international climate treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol over the weekend, both without resolving any of the major areas of disagreement before their final meeting of 2009 in Copenhagen.
The finance ministers of the G20 nations met over the weekend for a summit that was supposed to produce plans for financing climate change adaptation and mitigation in the developing world. And last week there were key meetings in Barcelona as part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the last ...
The statement is not very specific, and it’s not the kind of commitment that developing countries are saying is necessary to ensure their participation in a deal. Leaders promised a real agreement on financing would come at this meeting at their last summit in Pittsburgh in September, and securing an assistance package...
The meetings in Barcelona weren’t much better. Talks ended in a stalemate, with US negotiators unwilling (and, frankly, unable, given the ongoing Senate debate) to offer concrete emissions reductions targets and downplaying hopes for a deal this year.
Developing nations didn’t take the delay sitting down. On Tuesday, delgates from 50 African nations walked out in protest of rich nations’ unwillingness to commit. Talks resumed after a day-long boycott, but in the end the African bloc called the goals from developed nations “unacceptable” and demanded least 40 percent...

The worst service in the dryclean business!
Not only they have bad attitutes, I don't think they know what they're doing either. Also, if they can't do the alteration, they should take that sign off next to the dryclean service, because I think these people clearly don't know what they are doing. I won't go back again there and won't recommend anyone to go there...

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has pledged its commitment to end violence against children in Nigeria, as the country joins the world to mark the 2018 Children’s Day.
UNICEF’s Deputy Representative in Nigeria, Mr. Isiye Ndombi, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
Children’s Day is commemorated on May 27, every year.
Ndombi decried violence against children in the country and promised that the organisation was determined to mobilise the will and resources to tackle all forms of violence against children wherever it occurred.
The UNICEF deputy representative, however, described violence against children as pervasive, adding that it occurred in the home, school, work place and “online”.
According to him, perpetrators often include the very people children are expected to trust – parents, caregivers and other family members, friends, teachers and intimate partners.
“We are currently re-analysing the 2014 Violence Against Children Survey (VACS) findings to gain an even deeper understanding of the drivers of violence against children.
“We are also supporting our government partners to launch our National Plan of Action to End VAC by 2030, alongside a national Social Norms Change Strategy.
“We are supporting the government to track and monitor reported cases to end the menace,’’ she said.
Ndombi noted that violence against children affected them for life, saying that the marks were sometimes visible bruises and broken bones.
According to him, harm caused by violence on children also affects their mental and physical health and their ability to function in the world.
Speaking on the year’s theme, Ndombi said it provides an excellent opportunity to speak up on behalf of all the vulnerable children in the country.
He identified the efforts of the government to end violence against children to include the conduct of VAC survey in 2014.
The survey, according to him, provides the first national representative data on the prevalence of sexual, physical and emotional violence among children in the country.
Ndombi identified Nigeria as the first country in the West African sub-region and the 9th worldwide to conduct VAC survey.
This, he said demonstrate the commitment of government to tackle the menace.
“The findings released at the end of 2015, highlighted that millions of Nigerian children are suffering from violence every year and most are suffering in silence.
“Six out of 10 children will suffer some form of emotional, physical or sexual violence before they reach the age of 18.
“Many of them encounter violence over and over; yet, less than five per cent of the children that seek help and receive support.
“This is a clear call for the government at all levels to act to end violence against children.
“In September 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari launched a Year of Action to End Violence Against Children and called on all Nigerians to join this battle.
“Buhari renewed his commitment in October 2016 by launching a long-term campaign, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, to End Violence Against Children by 2030,’’ he noted.
The 2018-2019 NHL season is now about a month old, and it’s safe to say that there’s quite a few teams at the top that weren’t even close last year. So far, there has been a fair share of both positive and negative surprises from NHL fans 11-15 games into the season. Here are the top 10 NHL squads after month one.
Before the season began, most didn’t even predict that the Canucks would be better than a bottom five team. To be three games above .500 15 games into the year, is nothing short of incredible for this Canucks squad.
The vast majority of their success is accredited to 2018 fifth overall pick Elias Pettersson. Pettersson won rookie of the month for October and continued his dominant performance by putting up a five point night against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. The Swedish native currently has 15 points in only nine games.
The Jets had a breakout year last season registering 114 points and making it all the way to the Western Conference Final. With a loaded roster, there was high expectations for a repeat performance and so far the Jets have done mostly that.
Captain Blake Wheeler who led the team in scoring last year with 91 points in 81 games has continued his elite play into this season. He currently has 16 tallies in 14 contests and is tied for second in the NHL in assists with 14.
As a team, the Jets are ranked second in power play percentage with a 33.3 percent success rate with the man advantage according to NHL.com.
The Avalanche had one of the greatest turnarounds in NHL history last year finishing with 95 points compared to only 48 in the prior season. In the early stages of the 2018-2019 season, they have not taken their foot off the gas.
The top line for the Avalanche has been outright unstoppable. Before Saturday night, the Avalanche’s first-line had the same about of points as the entire Los Angeles Kings roster with 63 according to NHL Discussion.
Center Nathan MacKinnon is currently tied for second in the league in points with 21 and tied for first in goals with 11. Right winger Mikko Rantanen who won player of the month in October, leads the NHL in both points with 24 and assists with 19. Captain Gabriel Landeskog is tied for eighth in points with 18 and match...
Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid, celebrates with center Leon Draisaitl and defenseman Kris Russell.
The Oilers took a step back last year finishing fifth in the Pacific Division with only 78 points. The team swore that next season would be better, and it has been.
Despite an average 3-3-1 start, the Oilers have rebounded in a huge way by going 5-1-0 in their last six games.
Back to back Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid continues his torrid reign by setting an NHL record for scoring in all of the Oilers’ first nine goals according to Sporting News. The 21-year-old is currently tied for second in the league in points with 21.
After superstar John Tavares parted ways with the Islanders and signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the off-season, NHL critics thought the team was done. However, this Islanders squad has proved just the opposite.
The Islanders have quickly erased a sluggish 3-4-1 start by winning five straight games. In addition, the Islanders are currently tied for second in the league in goal differential with a plus 12 which shows they lose by a little, but win by a lot.
29-year-old Josh Bailey broke out in a big way last year putting up 71 points in 76 games. He has resumed his impressive play with 15 tallies in 13 contests to start the 2018-2019 season.
The Flames were in a playoff spot for most of the 2017-2018 season. However, they let it slip away by finishing 2-9-0 in their last 11 games. With off-season additions such as James Neal, Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin, the Flames are hoping that this year is not a repeat performance.
The Flames are currently on a four game winning streak and atop the Pacific Division.
Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas wasn’t shy to bust out the wallet during the off-season as he landed elite center John Tavares. After the Tavares acquisition, the Maple Leafs were instantly ranked as Stanley Cup favorites and so far they have proved that they can roll with the top dogs of the league.
Despite recently losing first-line center Auston Matthews to a shoulder injury, the Maple Leafs are only one point behind the Atlantic Division leading Tampa Bay Lightning.
Without Matthews, they’ve had to rely upon other scorers such as 2015 fourth overall pick Mitch Marner who is currently tied for eighth in the NHL in points with 18 and tied for second in assists with 14. Defenseman Morgan Rielly broke Bobby Orr’s record by putting up 12 points in his first five games of the season acc...
At the beginning of the year, almost no one predicted that the Wild would finish in the top five of a competitive Central Division. 13 games into the season, they are proving all of the critics wrong.
The Wild have won an astounding seven of their last eight games and have shown that their mediocre 1-2-2 start was merely a warm up. They have gotten continuous production from right winger Mikael Granlund who has 13 points in as many games and left winger Zach Parise who has 12 tallies in 13 contests.
Statistics wise, the Wild are currently ranked fifth on the penalty kill at 85.2 percent and third in point percentage with .692 according to NHL.com.
The Lighting came close to hoisting their first Stanley Cup since 2004, but fell short after losing in game seven of the Eastern Conference finals to the Washington Capitals. With the stacked roster that they contain, it is either Stanley Cup or bust for this Lightning squad.
22-year-old Brayden Point had a breakout year last season putting up 66 points in 82 games. So far, the former third round pick leads the Lightning in points with 15. Russian native Nikita Kucherov who demolished the league last year with 100 tallies in 80 contests is right behind Point with 14.
The Lighting have also shined in the statistics category as well. At the moment, they are ranked sixth on the power play with 26.1 percent and first on the penalty kill with 93.9 percent.
Last year, the Predators were at the top of the food chain finishing with 117 points and winning the Presidents Trophy. This season, the Predators have proved that they are equally as dominant.
Left Winger Filip Forsberg is quietly tied for second in the league in goals at 10 and tied for first in plus-minus with a plus 12. Center Ryan Johansen currently leads the Predators in points with 15.
The Predators have not only displayed that they win a lot, but they also do it in convincing fashion. At the moment, they are first in the NHL in goal differential with a plus 17 and have already registered three shutouts.
Aston Villa have emerged as favourites to sign Burnley club captain Tom Heaton in the January transfer window.
And Heaton could well be sold to the Championship club, rather than loaned out.
Heaton could bring a five and a half year stay at Turf Moor to a close - a spell which has seen him twice win promotion to the Premier League and earn three England caps.
The former Manchester United youngster has only made three appearances since September 2017 after dislocating his shoulder, and, since his recovery, having to play second fiddle to Nick Pope and now Joe Hart.
Pope is close to returning from a similar injury to Heaton, and, with Hart a Premier League ever-present this season, Sean Dyche has decided to cash in on his first permanent signing for the club, with Anders Lindegaard and Adam Legzdins also available as back up.
Heaton, who arrived on a free transfer from Bristol City in the summer of 2013, has made 181 appearances for the Clarets in all competitions.
I’ve been behind in watching the news south of the border and missed a significant decision last month.
On Feb. 24, President Barak Obama signed legislation that approves the setting aside of the so-called D-block of 700 Mhz spectrum for a national public safety wireless network. As I wrote last fall, Canadian police, fire and other first responders have been urging Ottawa to do the same up here so agencies on both sides...
Meanwhile, with the Conservative government still wrestling over the rules for the upcoming 700 Mhz auction, Ottawa didn’t want to move ahead of the U.S.
In the two weeks since the U.S. decision Industry Canada has been silent.
In an interview Wednesday, Supt. Pascal Rodier of the B.C. Ambulance Service, a co-chair of the Tri-Services committee, which has been leading the lobbying by emergency responders, expressed the hope that Industry Canada will now confirm the government will protect some spectrum in the 700 MHz band for public safety us...
“We’re sitting here with baited breath hoping for the right decision,” he said.
As telecom consultant Mark Goldberg wrote last week, last August Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the government will reserve spectrum, although he didn’t say how much.
The Tri-Services committee is hoping it will be 20 MHz across the country, although only 10 MHz was set aside in the U.S.
Unlike the Americans, who will build a single emergency network, the Canadians want a network of local or regional wireless systems that will talk to each other. Exactly how the Canadian system will be run isn’t clear. Emergency responders will let wireless carriers here build the networks, but they want control over w...
While we’re waiting for Ottawa, Rodier said one side benefit of the U.S. move is that Canadian wireless carriers are more open to talking to the Tri-Services Committee about details like that. For the past three years, with one exception their doors have been closed, he said.
On the other hand, the door to Industry Minister Christian Paradis’ office has suddenly been sealed to all wireless lobbyists. Rodier said his group wanted to meet with the minister right after Obama inked his name to the legislation to no avail. “We’ve been told they’re not meeting anyone right now,” he said, because ...
