Cimitero delle Porte Sante ( El cementerio de las puertas sagradas ) es un cementerio monumental en Florencia ubicado dentro del bastión fortificado de la Basílica de San Miniato al Monte. El proyecto, encomendado originalmente al arquitecto Niccolò Matas (autor de la fachada de la Basílica de la Santa Croce ), fue ampliado y en 1864 Mariano Falcini utilizó el área de la fortaleza del siglo XVI que se extendía alrededor de la iglesia.
Además de muchas características arquitectónicas neogóticas , el cementerio alberga los lugares de enterramiento de muchas figuras ilustres, que incluyen:

Sangrai is the name of the New Year celebration of the Bangladeshi Marma and Rakhine ethnic groups, which is celebrated from April 13 to 15 every year. Although it is one of the main traditional ceremonies of the Marmas, the Rakhine also celebrate the New Year with their own rules.
In the case of the Marmas, it is celebrated according to their Burmese calendar. The calendar of the Marmas is called "Mraima Sakraoy". The Marmaras observe Sangrai as a total of three days, including the last two days of the old year and the first day of the new year. Earlier, according to "Mraima Sacramento", these three days fell in the middle of April of the English calendar, but now they are observed on April 13, 14 and 15 in line with the English calendar. The traditional games of the Marmas are also held on the morning of the 13th with Pangchowai (Flower Sangrai), the main Sangrai on the 14th and the water on the 15th.

Sajek Valley is situated in the North angle of Rangamati, Bangladesh, near the Mizoram, India border boundary area. The valley is 1,800 thousand feet high from the sea level. Only ethnic minorities are live on the valley like Chakma, Marma, Tripura, Pankua, Lushai and Sagma. The place is known as hill queen for its natural beauty and roof of Rangamati.
There are more than fifteen ethnic minorities living in the district besides the Bengalis, including: the Marma, the Arakanese descendants and Arakanese (Rakhine), who are also know as Magh, Mru (also known as Mro or Murong), Bawm, Khyang, Tripuri (also known as Tipra or Tipperah), Mizo (also known as Lushei), Khumi, Chak, Kuki, Chakma and Tenchungya, who are closely related, Reang (also known as Riyang), Uchoi (also known as Usui) and Pankho.
The Mru, also known as Murong, who are famous for their music and dance. The Mru in major numbers have converted to Khrama (or Crama), the youngest religion in Bangladesh that prohibits much of their old ways. They are assumed to be the original inhabitants of Bandarban. The Bawm are another major tribe here. Now converted almost totally to Christianity they have taken full advantage of the church to become the most educated people in the district. The Marma are Arakanese descendants of Myanmar by origin and Buddhists by religion, and are the second largest tribe in the hill districts of Bangladesh. The Khumi live in the remotest parts of the district, and the group is thought to include yet unexplored/ unclassified tribes.
These ethnic groups are again divided in hundreds of clans and sects, principally dominated by four religious threads - Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and a number of pagan faiths. All these clans and groups are clustered into two major ethnic families, namely the hill people and the valley people. Since the Kaptai dam flooded the valley creating to Kaptai lake, the valley people have started to live on hill tops along the hill people.
Bengali settlers, coming in with the forced settlements in 1979, and Rohingya settlers, coming in across the Myanmar border since the junta came to power in Yangon in 1992, now has become two major ethnic groups outside minorities. But, there are a number of Bengali families who claim to have settled earlier than some of the tribes.in there live many Barua also.
Baisabi is the main social festival of the indigenous people living in the hill districts of Rangamati, Bandarban and Khagrachhari. This festival is celebrated by the Chakma and Tanchyanga as "Biju", by Marmas as "Shangrai", Tripuras as "Baisuk" or "Baisu".
The beautiful sylvan and hilly river Sangu suddenly falls down here about 25-30 feet. That is why; this amazing waterfall was created here for the beauty lover and adventurer from all over the world. The name of this wonderful waterfall is Nafakhum which is also known as Bangladeshi Niagara but the local people also called it Remakri Waterfall. The beautiful Nafakhum is among the largest waterfalls in the country by volume of water falling. The name Nafakhum comes from Marma (one of the tribal nations of Bangladesh) language. The word “Khum” means waterfall. You will be able to see here a special type of flying fish, the local name of the fish is Nating. It can be found at the bottom in a small cave as they swim against the heavy stream but the fish cannot jump over the height of fall.
নাফাখুম জলপ্রপাত বাংলাদেশের বান্দরবান জেলার থানচি উপজেলার রেমাক্রি ইউনিয়নে অবস্থিত। একে বাংলার নায়াগ্রাও বলা হয় কারণ পানি প্রবাহের পরিমানের দিক থেকে এটিকে বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম বড় জলপ্রপাত। নাফাখুম দেখতে থানচি বাজার থেকে সাঙ্গু নদী পথে নৌকা দিয়ে রেমাক্রি যেতে হয়।

Chittagong Hill Tracts, an area located in the south-east of Bangladesh, with over 13,295 square kilometers and the estimated population of 1.5 million people, is one of the most diverse regions in the country.
This is a home to 12 ethnic groups - the majority Bengali and 11 indigenous communities - Chakma, Marma, Tripura, Tanchangya, Mro, Lushai, Khumi, Chak, Khiyang, Bawm, Pangkhua. Each of them having their own distinctive language, culture, and tradition.
More than two decades of conflicts, the rough hilly terrain and remoteness of villages have impacted the economic development of the region leaving widespread unemployment and over half of the population below poverty line.
The economy of the Hill Tracts heavily depends on agriculture, as nearly two thirds of rural households rely on farming as their primary income.
For many communities, access to basic health care is difficult due to the rough terrain and scattered settlements. Lack of human resources is another big challenge for existing health care.
For similar reasons, access to education is made complicated for many rural children. The difficult terrain makes the journey to school much longer and potentially unsafe. More than half of the children enrolled in primary school drop out in the first years, mainly due to the lack of finance, distance to school, safety, not understanding the subjects and need to stay at home to help parents.
As part of the Peace Accord signed in 1997 a decentralized Local Government was established, with responsibilities delegated to the Regional Council and three Hill District Councils, while the Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs oversees all activities.
Due to the prolonged conflicts in the area, Chittagong Hill Tracts remained outside the mainstream of development assistance for over 25 years.
Following the signing of the Peace Accord, the people of the Hill Tracts entered a new era. The Accord created new opportunities for development assistance. Local people’s enthusiasm have been matched with the support from international donor community to resume development in the region.

To celebrate the herald the arrival of the Bangla New Year, popularly known as “Sangrai”, the biggest community festival of “Rakhain,” the young boys and girls of the community splashed water to each other.
Rakhain community celebrates water festival. It is a part of their New Year celebration. Young boys and girls throw water to each other to express their love and selecting life partner. The Rakhain boys come across from different places performing music and dance. Then the girls throw water to the boys of their likings. Rakhains of all ages take part in this, as this is their main religious and social festival.
Chittagong, Bangladesh.
This here is "Amina", the 'pro-modern' Damsel in Distress. She was a little camera shy, must've been all those years of living in self denial, constantly being reminded that she was born a 'Girl' , and in a patriarchal community she is no better than a 2nd class citizen.
Amina earns 1.5 ~ 6 taka (0.085 USD) each day, working as a 'firewood bearer' who goes to and fro along the banks of the Kaptai Lake over a distance stretching one and a half mile, countless times, everyday. Both her father and mother are day labourers as well. With rising prices, the three of them can barely meet their ends meet. Their broken shed reeks of alien fumes, aboriginal organisms and bacteroides that are considered 'lethal' for the city people.
Yet despite all these difficulties growing up, 'Amina' retains a strange, stark beauty. A farcical gaze that tears through your very soul. A look that screams of hardship, of not giving up, of a muted protest against gender discrimination, of the failures of International Bodies like "UNICEF", of a fake prerogative that calls itself "Nari Odhikar Aine" (Law of Women Rights).
Tsk tsk tsk.
