Charles Thomas Stearns

Charles Thomas Stearns (January 9, 1807 – May 22, 1898) was an American politician, mayor of Peoria, Illinois (1846),member of the Minnesota Territorial Council (1849–1858) representing the 3rd District from 1854–55, and had taken an active part in securing the passage of the bill establishing the county.
He moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota, the following year and became a prominent member of the developing city. His "Stearns Hotel" became the original building of the Third State Normal School campus in 1869, predecessor of St. Cloud State Teachers College, now St. Cloud State University.
Stearns was born January 9, 1807, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He was married there in 1829 to the former Cornelia Burbank. The couple moved west to Missouri, Illinois, and eventually to Minnesota. In 1870, he moved to Mobile, Alabama, and then to New Orleans, Louisiana. He died in New Orleans on May 22, 1898.
Stearns County was officially established on February 20, 1855, and was originally called Stevens County to honor Governor Isaac I. Stevens (D), who had conducted an expedition to the area in 1853. The name was later changed to honor Stearns.

Suicide in Bangladesh

Suicide in Bangladesh is a common cause of unnatural death and a long term social issue. Of all the people reported dead due to suicide worldwide every year, 2.06% are Bangladeshi.
Statistics
According to a report by the World Health Organization 19,697 people died by suicide in Bangladesh in 2011. According to Police Headquarters 11,095 people died by suicide in Bangladesh in 2017. According to a report by Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, published in 2010, around 6,500,000 people of Bangladesh are prone to suicide. The rate is 128.08 people per 100,000 dying by suicide in Bangladesh every year. The six-member team led by Dr AHM Feroz and Dr SM Nurul Islam of the medical college conducted the survey at Mominpur union of Chuadanga district from January to April 2010. But this has been noted that the above rate was assumed only based on survey conducted in one union which is not a good reflector of the total suicide rate in the whole country as total suicide rate per year is far less than what was mentioned in the report in the last couple of years.
According to a report by The Daily Star, from 2002 to 2009, 73,389 people died by suicide in Bangladesh. Of these 73,389 people, 31,857 people hanged themselves and 41,532 swallowed poison to kill themselves. Bangladesh Manabadhikar Bastabayan Sangstha, a human rights group of Bangladesh shows that from January 2011 to August 2011, 258 people died by suicide, and of them, 158 were women and the remainder were men.
Suicide of women
According to a 2010 report by Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, of the 128.08 per 100,000 people who died by suicide in 2010, 89% were women and most of them were unmarried. Statistics from Jatiya Mahila Ainjibi Samity, a Bangladeshi women's organization, show that from 2006 to 2010, 40 girls who died by suicide were victims of stalking. From 2001 to 2010, 4,747 women and girls died by suicide because of physical and domestic violence.
According to a report published in the Lancet published in BBC News, suicidal tendency among women in Bangladesh is higher, because they have inferior status in society. Another factor is a higher rate of illiteracy and their economic dependence on men.
2007 Adam House cult suicide
In 2007, in Mymensingh, a family of nine died by mass suicide by hurling themselves onto a train. According to the diaries recovered from their home, they wanted a pure life as lived by Adam and Eve, freeing themselves from bondage to any religion.
Prevention
Non-profit Kaan Pete Roi provides mental health support via a free crisis helpline.
Common methods
Hanging is the most common method of suicide in Bangladesh. There is no cost involvement in this method other than ligature material, i.e., a rope, and thus that is why it is the preferred method. Swallowing poison is another common method in Bangladesh to die by suicide. In urban areas, people follow other methods to die by suicide, such as by an overdose of barbiturate tablets, or by other means.

Alan Brown (cricketer, born 1957)

Alan Brown (cricketer, born 1957)
Alan Brown (born 23 December 1957) is a former English cricketer who played one first-class and one List A match for Worcestershire as a wicketkeeper in 1979. He was born in Darwen, Lancashire.
His first-team career lasted four days: his only first-class match was a three-day affair against Oxford University, and on the Sunday that fell between the first and second days of that game he appeared in a John Player League match against Middlesex after standing in for David Humphries who was injured three quarters of an hour beforehand. Worcestershire declared twice against the students and were not bowled out against Middlesex, so Brown did not get a bat. He did, however, hold five catches over the two games.
Brown played for several years (1976–1979) at Second XI level, making two half-centuries in 49 innings. He also played one minor game against Ireland in 1979.

Zone diet

Zone diet
The Zone diet is a fad diet emphasizing low-carbohydrate consumption. It was created by Barry Sears, an American biochemist.
The ideas behind the diet are not supported by scientific evidence.
Approach
The diet is meant to promote weight loss via reduction in calories consumed and avoid spikes in insulin release, thus supporting the maintenance of insulin sensitivity. It begins with the determination of the individual's protein requirement for daily replacement due to various loss mechanisms.
The Zone diet proposes that a relatively narrow distribution in the ratio of proteins to carbohydrates, centered at 0.75, is essential to "balance the insulin to glucagon ratio, which purportedly affects eicosanoid metabolism and ultimately produces a cascade of biological events leading to a reduction in chronic disease risk, enhanced immunity, maximal physical and mental performance, increased longevity and permanent weight loss."
The diet advocates eating five times a day, with 3 meals and 2 snacks, and includes eating proteins, carbohydrates – those with a lower glycemic index are considered more favorable, and fats (monounsaturated fats are considered healthier) in a caloric ratio of 30%-40%-30% (fat-carb-pro). The hand is used as the mnemonic tool; five fingers for five times a day, with no more than five hours between meals. The size and thickness of the palm are used to measure protein while two big fists measure favorable carbohydrates and one fist unfavorable carbohydrates. There is a more complex scheme of "Zone blocks" and "mini-blocks" that followers of the diet can use to determine the ratios of macronutrients consumed. Daily exercise is encouraged.
The diet falls about midway in the continuum between the USDA-recommended food pyramid which advocates eating grains, vegetables, and fruit and reducing fat, and the high-fat Atkins Diet.
Effectiveness
Like other low-carb diets, the ideas underlying the Zone diet are unproven.
As of 2013, there were "no cross-sectional or longitudinal studies examining the potential health merit of adopting a Zone Diet per se, [and] closely related peer-reviewed findings from scientific research cast strong doubt over the purported benefits of this diet. When properly evaluated, the ideas and arguments of popular low carbohydrate diet books like the Zone rely on poorly controlled, non-peer-reviewed studies, anecdotes and non-science rhetoric."

اليوم العالمي لمكافحة التصحر والجفاف

اليوم العالمي لمكافحة التصحر والجفاف (اختصارًا WDCDD) هو يوم عالمي من أيام الأمم المتحدة يهدف لتعزيز الوعي بالتصحر والجفاف، كونهما من أكبر التحديات البيئية في أيامنا هذه. يُحتفل بهذا اليوم في 17 يونيو من كل عام.
تاريخ
خلال الجلسة العامة 92 من الدورة التاسعة والأربعين للجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة عام 1994، تقرر يوم 17 حزيران/يونيو يوماً عالمياً لمكافحة التصحر والجفاف. وفي كل عام، تتعدد الوسائل والمواضيع لزيادة الوعي العام بمسألتي التصحر والجفاف، من خلال الاحتفال باليوم لمكافحة التصحر والجفاف.
التصحر والجفاف
التصحر هو عملية تحول الأرض، التي كانت خصبة في السابق، إلى قاحلة. عندما يقع التصحر، تصعُب زراعة المحاصيل وإطعام الحيوانات أو جمع الطعام. تتواجد الصحارى عادة في المناخات الجافة والقاحلة. وهناك مفهوم خاطئ للتصحر، يكمن في الاعتقاد أن الصحارى تمتدّ من مركزها. وهذه ليست الحال. في الواقع، يقع التصحر عند حافة الصحارى أو في 1% أي أرض موجودة في المناخات الجافة أو النصف جافة، التي اعتادت أن تدعم نمو الغطاء النباتي.
تشمل الصحارى الشهيرة في العالم:
الصحراء الكبرى في أفريقيا.
الصحراء العربية في الشرق الأوسط.
صحراء جوبي في آسيا.
صحراء باتاغونيا في أمريكا الجنوبية.
صحراء فيكتوريا الكبرى في أستراليا.
صحراء الحوض العظيم في أمريكا الشمالية.
غير أن هذه ليست أكبر صحارى على الأرض.
بما أنه يتم تعريف الصحراء كمنطقة تكون فيها الهطول السنوية أقل من 250 مم، تشكل، فعلياً، الصحارى القطبية، صحراء القطب الجنوبي وصحراء القطب الشمالي، أكبر الصحارى على الأرض، على الرغم من أن هذه المناطق مغطاة بالجليد والثلج.
يفكر معظم الناس بالرمال والكثبان الرملية حين يتصورون صحراء، ولكن ليست هذه هي الحال دائماً. يمكن أن تكون الصحراء صخرية، أو كما أشرنا لتوّنا، جليدية. تعني الصحراء أن الأرض قاحلة (غطاء نباتي نادر أو غير موجود)، وأن مستوى الهطول فيها قليل. وهي غالباً ما تكون عرضة للتعرية الريحية وتتميز بأسطح حُصوية.
تكون النباتات والحيوانات، التي يمكنها الصمود في الصحراء، قادرة على تحمّل درجات حرارة متطرفة والعيش لفترات طويلة بدون ماء.
يعود سبب التصحر إلى استغلال الأرض من قبل الإنسان:
الإفراط في الزراعة
الإفراط في رعي الحيوانات
إزالة الغابات
ممارسات الريّ السيئة في المناطق الجافة
ويعود أيضاً سبب التصحر إلى الجفاف الذي يحدث طبيعياً، كما إلى تغير المناخ، الذي يهدّد بزيادة تواتر حدوث الجفاف وجعل بعض المناخات أكثر جفافاً. وقد تمثل موجات الجفاف مخاطر طبيعية بطيئة التفاقم، ولكنها من الكوارث الطبيعية الأكثر تسبباً للضرر.
تبدو دورة التصحر كالتالي:
يؤدي استغلال الأرض (و/أو الجفاف أو التغيرات المناخية) إلى جفاف التربة وكشفها.
تقوم الرياح أو الفيضانات بتعرية التربة بسهولة.
تصبح الأرض قاحلة.
يحتجز الغطاء النباتي الموجود في المنطقة كميات متناقصة من الماء.
يقلّ المطر الذي كان يهطل، جرّاء تبخر الماء في المنطقة.
تصبح المنطقة أكثر جفافاً، ويتغير المناخ.
تتزايد الضغوطات على موارد الأرض الخصبة في مكان آخر، وتصبح عرضة أكثر لخطر الاستغلال.

Sunni Bohra

Sunni Bohra
Sunni Vahoras or Sunni Bohras (also Jafari Bohras or Patani Bohras), are a community from the state of Gujarat in India. Sharing many cultural similarities with the Dawoodi Bohras, they are often confused with that community. The community in Pakistan uses the surname "Vohra" and not Bohra and are commonly known as Sunni Vohras. A few families use the slightly different spelling of "Vora" or "Vohra" as their surname. Another common surname is Patel.
History and distribution
In the 15th century, there was a schism in the Bohra community of Patan, Gujarat as many converted from Mustaali Ismaili to Sunni Islam. The leader of this conversion movement to Sunni Islam was Jafar Patani, himself a Bohra convert to Sunni Islam. Thus this new group is known as Jafari Bohras and Patani Bohras. In 1538, Syed Jafar Ahmad Shirazi, a missionary from Sindh, convinced Patani Bohras to cease social relations with Ismaili Bohras. This resulted in a conversion of around 80%, Shia
Ismaili faith to Sunni Islam. This however was changed by Maulaya Raj, who went on to explain how highly misguided people are and explained Islam to them and invited them, hence leading to the return of most of these people back to their faith.
