People of a house in Chowkbazar area of Chittagong city could not come out of their house for 17 hours due to the effect of heavy rain and tidal water. Every year during the rainy season the people here are subjected to extreme floods and their life becomes difficult. Although the city authorities are trying to solve this problem, the work is slow due to people's ignorance.
Waterlogging has occurred in various parts of Chittagong due to continuous heavy rain, waterlogging has occurred on various roads of Chittagong city due to heavy rain. It has caused severe traffic jam on the road. Due to flooding, almost half of the city's roads and streets are submerged in water. One of the causes of this water pollution is plastic polythene cokesheets and man-made waste, such as many shops selling one-time cups and polythene packaging products. After using that product, as there are no bins in the shops, the packaging is thrown directly by the shopkeepers and common people into the streets or drains. As these packaging products are non-biodegradable, they accumulate in drains and increase the intensity of waterlogging.
If you wanna spit your beer out of both nostrils head over to Flickr's 'The Help Forum' where many soon to be ex Flickr users are venting their frustrations in the deafening silence of a response from either Flickr or Yahoo.
The consensus is that Flickr tanked this one big time and a lot of people are moving to or opening up accounts on ipernity.com...
which looks a lot like Flickr used to and shows photographs in a more classy and elegant way... not like a pile of different sized bricks all squeezed together.
They also have a tool that lets you upload your pictures from Flickr in batches of 180 at a time.
Flickr's been filled with bugs and glitches and slow as hell all day.
Maybe that's because of all of the bandwidth getting used to move pictures to other sites or the volume of angry complaints going to Flickr on the 'Help Forum.'
I don't know.
I've signed up for an account at Ipernity and I'll explore it over the next few days.
If Flickr keeps this format I have to find another place to share my photographs because I just don't think this fits.
You guys have always inspired me and this place has always felt like a community.
But the reality is that we never 'owned' anything here.
The look of our community changed drastically in a moment without us even being prepared for it with some warning.
I don't know why... but I feel betrayed.
And I shouldn't.
I should just take my pictures somewhere where they 'fit.'
Complaining to the 'Help Forum' on Flickr here someone put it like this...
'I feel like my family album just got destroyed in a fire.'
I feel you man... I really do.
You know I wanna stay positive and be inspired and create whatever it is that I create in a community of people who do the same and appreciate the details that I appreciate too.
You and Flickr always felt like 'an old friend.'
And quite honestly, that old friend Flickr is dead.
Look at this screen shot above and read between the lines.
The community is outraged.
When the staff at Flickr has to remind us that 'personal attacks against Staff or other users will not be tolerated'...
well... you gotta figure that there's a LOT of outrage.
I miss my Flickr.
And I'll miss you guys.
I've always felt the love and I still do.
I'll be around... but if something drastic doesn't happen in Flickerland over the next few days more and more of my time, my photographs and my attention will be elsewhere...
probably on Ipernity.
I miss seeing you guys the way that I used to see you.
And Flickr... RIP.
You were a good friend.
I'll miss you buddy.

Two old american cheques the firs one is for five dollars and the second is for eleven thousand one hundred dollars.
These cheques date from the time when the banks sent the used cheques back to the vendor.
"The Do-Gooders are killing your car with hysterical ideas and laws," ad for Motorists United, from Car Life, July, 1970.
It's kind of interesting that it was lightweight and foreign cars that they thought were at the greatest risk, before the oil crisis changed all that. Also interesting that their anxieties were all about regulation of the vehicles themselves rather than allocation of street space or availability of parking.
In the same issue is a news blurb predicting that the death of cars in California would begin with a conveyor belt PRT system to be built by Goodyear in San Jose ("a city of 400,000 south of San Francisco") in 1972.
First lesson in the Eleanor Winters' book "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy": 8 basic strokes for lowercase letters, and simplest lowercase letters.
Rock carvings after being painted using chalk water (Kalleby, Sweden).
"The re-documentation of the rock carvings in Tanum was started in 1989 by Tanums Hällristningsmuseum Underslös and its supporting association, the Scandinavian Society for Prehistoric Art.
It is carried out at the international working seminars arranged by the museum every summer, where a group consisting of somewhere between 25 and 30 volunteers from four or six different countries work for a week on the project of documenting the rock art of Tanum/ UNESCO World Heritage Area."

H. Res. 24 - Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
"In his conduct while President of the United States —and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed — Donald John Trump engaged in high crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting violence against the Government of the United States..."

▶ On Wednesday, 13 January 2021, “Donald J. Trump became the first American president to be impeached twice, as 10 members of his party joined with Democrats in the House to charge him with 'incitement of insurrection' for his role in egging on a violent mob that stormed the Capitol last week [as Congress convened to certify the results of the 3 November 2020 presidential election won by former vice-president Joe Biden].
Reconvening in a building now heavily militarized against threats from pro-Trump activists and adorned with bunting for the inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., lawmakers voted 232 to 197 to approve a single impeachment article. It accused Mr. Trump of 'inciting violence against the government of the United States' in his quest to overturn the election results, and called for him to be removed and disqualified from ever holding public office again.
The vote left another indelible stain on Mr. Trump’s presidency just a week before he is slated to leave office and laid bare the cracks running through the Republican Party. More members of his party voted to charge the president than in any other impeachment. He faces a Senate trial that could disqualify him from future office.”

Issued by Queen Victoria on 6 June 1859, the Letters Patent and the accompanying Order-in-Council are Queensland’s primary founding documents. Together they provide the constitutional basis on which Queensland has continued to function as, first, a self-governing colony and, second, a State in the Commonwealth of Australia. The Letters Patent specifically appointed Sir George Ferguson Bowen as Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of Queensland, endowing him with the legal authority to oversee the installation of self-government by and for the citizens of the colony. Although a professional public servant in the British Colonial Office, Bowen aspired to an academic career, and his governorship from 1859 to 1868 was marked by a ready willingness to delegate responsibility to elected officials.
