Falcon's Incredible Journey: Satellite Image Reveals Astonishing 15,000 km Flight from South Africa to Finland

M.Aminur Rahman.

A falcon is fitted with equipment as it flies from South Africa to Finland, and this image shows its journey from the satellite.

The bird flew this 15,000km route in 42 days, an average of 357km per day almost parallel.

If you look closely at his route on satellite, you will see that when he comes across a large body of water or sea, he changes course from there as if he wants to rest and find land.

Again, the desert of Egypt-Sudan was also bypassed so as to avoid being thirsty for lack of water.

Difficult mapping, routing, and altitude knowledge have been developed by scientists for ages, and it takes years for pilots to learn these things, who taught this little bird so much?

  What's more interesting is that they don't spend even 1% of their energy while flying at high altitudes, they can travel hundreds of miles by just floating, sometimes even sleeping.  How did this perfect technology come into their bodies?

President Joe Biden: Biden voices support for helpful 'stop' in Israel-Hamas war.

 

M.AMINUR RAHMAN.

President Joe Biden, responding to a harasser at a Minnesota crusade event Wednesday night, said he thinks he should be a sympathetic figure in the Israel-Hamas war to get "prisoners" out of Gaza. The 80-year-old leftist was delivering remarks to about 200 allies in the North American state when a man in the crowd shouted at him.

Google News Link For all the latest news, follow The Everyday Star's Google News channel." As a rabbi, I really want you to ask for a cease-fire at this time," he revealed, alluding to the deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The president replied: "I think we want a delay. Respite means giving the prisoners a chance to get out."After receiving some information about his comments, the White House later clarified that by "prisoners" the president was referring to prisoners held by Hamas.

Biden became more attached to the woman, referring to Israeli head of state Benjamin Netanyahu."I am the person who convinced Bibi to call for a ceasefire to let the prisoners out. I am the person who convinced (Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-) Sisi to open the entrance" along Gaza's border with Egypt. Allow the freed prisoners to leave.

Biden showed he was checking on the new arrival of two US prisoners previously held by Palestinian Islamist groups. The White House recently called for an "assistance stop" to allow aid to be sent to Gaza or to allow clearing, yet has not yet tested a ceasefire, accepting that would only give way to Hamas' plans. The conflict between Israel and Hamas entered its 26th day on Wednesday.

In response to Hamas's ironic attack on October 7, the Israeli Armed Forces resolutely blockaded the Gaza Strip and halted an unquestionably extensive ground operation in the domain.

Rediscovering the Charm of Old-Fashioned Photo Print Technology

                                                        Old Photo Print Technology

M.AMINUR RAHMAN.

In the fast-paced digital age, where selfies and snapshots are taken with the tap of a screen and shared instantly across the globe, it's easy to forget the nostalgia and timeless appeal of old-fashioned photo print technology. While modern photography has revolutionized the way we capture and share moments, there is a certain charm and authenticity in the tangible photographs of yesteryears. In this article, we will delve into the world of traditional photo print technology, exploring its history, enduring popularity, and the reasons behind its resurgence in the digital era.

A Glimpse into the Past

Before the advent of digital cameras and smartphones, photography was a much more intricate and deliberate process. People had to use film cameras, a technology that dates back to the early 19th century. Each roll of film contained a limited number of exposures, which meant that every shot had to be carefully composed, timed, and executed. This process demanded patience, skill, and a keen eye for detail.

Once the film was exposed, it had to be developed in a darkroom using chemical processes. The magic of seeing an image slowly appear on a blank sheet of photo paper in the developer tray was a truly unique experience. This hands-on approach to photography created a sense of anticipation and excitement that is often missing in today's instant gratification culture.

The Art of Printing

Printing photos from film negatives was another art form in itself. Darkroom printing allowed photographers to fine-tune the exposure, contrast, and color balance of each image. Skilled printers could use dodging and burning techniques to selectively lighten or darken parts of the photo, adding depth and drama to their work. Each print was a unique creation, a testament to the photographer's skill and creativity.

The Tangible Keepsakes

One of the most significant advantages of old-fashioned photo print technology is the tangible nature of the final product. Physical photographs have a weight and presence that digital images cannot replicate. Holding a photograph in your hands connects you to the past in a way that a digital file on a screen cannot. These printed images can be cherished, passed down through generations, and displayed in albums or frames, becoming cherished family heirlooms.

The Resurgence of Analog Photography

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in analog photography and old-fashioned print technology. Many photographers and enthusiasts have rediscovered the joy of using film cameras, not just for their vintage appeal but also for the unique aesthetic qualities they produce. Film photography is celebrated for its grain, color palette, and the subtle imperfections that give each image character.

Even the younger generation, who grew up in the digital age, has shown a growing interest in film photography. They are drawn to the authenticity and craftsmanship of analog processes, finding a sense of rebellion against the instant and disposable nature of modern photography.

The Digital-Print Connection

Interestingly, digital technology has played a pivotal role in the revival of old-fashioned photo print technology. Today, it's easier than ever to digitize analog photos, giving them a new lease on life in the digital world. This bridge between analog and digital allows photographers to combine the best of both worlds, preserving the charm of traditional photography while enjoying the convenience of modern technology.

Conclusion

Old-fashioned photo print technology may have been overshadowed by the convenience of digital photography, but it refuses to fade into obscurity. Its enduring appeal lies in its tangible, hands-on approach, the artistry of darkroom printing, and the timeless quality of physical photographs. In an era when images are captured and discarded with a swipe, there is something profoundly meaningful about holding a photograph in your hands—a testament to a moment in time that can be cherished for generations to come. So, the next time you take a snapshot with your smartphone, take a moment to appreciate the rich history and enduring charm of old-fashioned photo print technology.

An indescribable discovery: rice seedlings can be harvested five times in one planting.

M.AMINUR RAHMAN.

Dr. Abed Chowdhury's farm is looked after by someone named Russell Mia. He said, "When paddy was planted experimentally on two bigha land, paddy was successfully harvested five times from the plant. Paddy was harvested for the last time in this land 4/5 days ago. The cost of production the first time, the cost of production the next time is not so much. Farmers can produce this rice at a very low cost. Once the paddy is harvested from the tree, if the root of the tree is kept carefully, the tree will produce again.

 Therefore, in the next Boro season, innovative new rice will be planted in this region on about 20 bighas of land," he said. Mentioning the blessing of such paddy plants for the environment, he said, "If a land is cultivated more than once, methane gas and carbon dioxide are released a lot, which are very harmful to the environment." But once this rice is cultivated, the production cost will be much less. Cultivation is easy like other rice. That's why I call it environment-friendly, climate change-friendly.

 The various varieties of rice invented are named after his village from Kanihti 1 to 16.' It can be seen on the surface, the golden crop is now in the field of Digantjora of Kanihati village. Dr. This amazing paddy has been cultivated in two bighas next to Kanihati Girls High School, one and a half kilometers away from Abed Chowdhury's house. After planting seedlings, rice was harvested for the fifth time. A new history will be created from the dormant village of Kanihati as this rice plant will yield five times throughout the year once planted. Local people are happy about it. Rushan Mia, a farmer of Kanihati village, said, "Dr. of our area." The paddy produced by Abed sir is a matter of pride for us. As the cost is very low, now we want to cultivate this rice ourselves. Another farmer Shariful Islam said, "Abed Chowdhury, who was born in our country, invented a paddy. The rice is very good. One planting can be cut five times.

 I also brought this rice. Proud of this paddy. We are all interested, so that this paddy is produced more and more.' Abed Chowdhury, a son of Bangladesh, went to Australia with a job after completing his higher education in agriculture in the United States. He has spent 20 years researching rice genes as the chief rice scientist of the National Research Institute there. So far he has invented about 300 new types of rice. Although he researched abroad for professional reasons, he built a farm in his village Kanihati in the country. Farmers have been very successful by cultivating Abed paddy in the area in his name.

TRAVEL TO LONDON: A Timeless Journey through London's Mystique

M.AMINUR RAHMAN.

As the plane touched down at Heathrow Airport, I could barely contain my excitement. London, a city of history and culture, has always been at the top of my travel wish list. Now, finally, I was about to embark on a journey that promised to be nothing short of magical.

My first day in London was a whirlwind of exploration. I started by visiting the iconic Tower Bridge, a masterpiece of Victorian engineering. The view from the glass-floored walkway was both breathtaking and somewhat nerve-wracking, as I watched double-decker buses and boats pass by.

Next on the list was the Tower of London. History spills through its ancient stone walls, revealing countless tales of intrigue, imprisonment and execution. As I stood in front of the Crown Jewels, the glittering jewels and priceless artifacts whispered tales of royal splendor.

Walking along the Thames I marveled at the contrast between the old and the new. The modern Shard towers above, while the historic St Paul's Cathedral stands proudly across the river. I couldn't resist the temptation to climb up to the dome of St. Paul, where I was left in awe of the beautiful view of the city.

The British Museum was another must-see. Entering its vast courtyard, I felt like a time traveler. Ancient artifacts, including the Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies, were like windows into the past, and I couldn't help but wonder about the lives of the people who made them.

Exploring London's vibrant neighborhoods was a joy in itself. Notting Hill's colorful streets, made famous by the eponymous film, and Camden Town's bustling markets offer an interesting mix of art, fashion and food. I've sampled food from all over the world, from Indian curries in Brick Lane to classic fish and chips in traditional pubs.

                                     

No trip to London would be complete without a stroll through Hyde Park, a green oasis in the heart of the city. I hired a rowboat and spent a serene afternoon on the Serpentine surrounded by swans and lush greenery.

My journey through London continued with a trip to the world-famous West End, where I saw a spectacular performance of "Les Miserables" at the Queen's Theatre. I was mesmerized by the talent of the actors and the grandeur of the production, and I understood why London's theater scene was legendary.

The next day, I explored the iconic neighborhoods of Soho and Covent Garden, known for their vibrant atmosphere and artsy atmosphere. Street performers mesmerized the audience with their talents and I collected souvenirs from the quaint boutiques that lined the streets.

I saved the best for last: Buckingham Palace. I joined the crowd gathered in front of the palace gates to witness the changing of the guard ceremony. The finesse and pageantry of the event made me feel like a spectator at a royal spectacle.

As my time in London came to an end, I realized that a single tour could not do justice to the city's rich history and vibrant culture. But London has left an indelible mark on my heart. The timeless beauty of the city, the mix of old and new and the warmth of its people made my trip unforgettable.

With a heavy heart, I boarded the plane home, knowing that one day I would return to London. Because, in the words of Samuel Johnson, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." London stole a piece of my heart, and I knew I'd be back to claim it.
