Qusayr 'Amra

Qusayr 'Amra sau Quseir Amra, lit. qasr mic de „Amra”, uneori, de asemenea, numit Qasr Amra (قصر عمرة / ALA-LC: Qaṣr ‘Amrah), este cel mai cunoscut dintre castelele deșertului situat în estul de astăzi Iordaniei. A fost construit în urmă cu ceva timp, între 723 și 743, de Walid Ibn Yazid, viitorul calif omeiad Al-Walid al II-lea, a căror dominație a regiunii era în creștere la acea vreme. Este considerat unul dintre cele mai importante exemple de artă islamică timpurie și arhitectură islamică.
Clădirea este de fapt rămășița unui complex mai mari care includea un castel real, menit ca o retragere regală, fără nicio funcție militară, din care a rămas doar fundația Ceea ce se află astăzi este o mică cabină de țară. Este cel mai notabil pentru frescele care rămân în principal pe tavanele din interior, care descriu, printre altele, un grup de conducători, scene de vânătoare, scene de dans care conțin femei dezbrăcate, meșteșugari muncitori, recent descoperitul „ciclu al lui Iona”, și, deasupra o cameră de baie, prima reprezentare cunoscută a cerului pe o suprafață emisferică, unde imaginea în oglindă a constelațiilor este însoțită de figurile zodiacului. Acest lucru a dus la desemnarea Qusayr 'Amra ca Sit al Patrimoniului Mondial UNESCOului.
Acest statut și amplasarea sa de-a lungul autostrăzii est-vest a Iordaniei, relativ aproape de Amman, au făcut-o o destinație turistică frecventă.
Qasr Amra se află pe partea de nord a autostrăzii 40 a Iordaniei, aproximativ la 85 kilometri (53 mi) din Amman și la 21 kilometri (13 mi) sud-vest de Al-Azraq.
În decembrie 2019 este într-o zonă mare împrejmuită cu sârmă ghimpată. O parcare neasfaltată este situată la colțul de sud-est, chiar în afara drumului. Un mic centru pentru vizitatori colectează taxele de vizitare. Castelul este situat în partea de vest a zonei închise, lângă o mică colină.
Urmele zidurilor de piatră folosite pentru a împrejmui situl sugerează că acesta făcea parte dintr-un complex de 25 de hectare; există rămășițe ale unui castel care ar fi putut adăposti temporar o garnizoană de soldați.
Au mai fost găsite, la sud-estul clădirii un puț de apă de 40 metri (130 ft) adâncime, și au fost descoperite și urme ale mecanismului de ridicare acționat de animale și ale unui baraj.

Căderea Crac des Chevaliers

Căderea fortăreței cruciate Crac des Chevaliers reprezintă asediul și ocuparea acestei cetăți de către sultanul mameluc Baibars în 1271. Baibars a înaintat spre nord pentru a ocupa Crac des Chevaliers după moartea regelui Franței Ludovic al IX-lea, survenită pe 29 noiembrie 1270.
Înainte de a porni spre castel, Baibars a capturat fortificațiile mai mici din zonă, inclusiv Chastel Blanc. La 3 martie 1271, armata lui Baibars se găsea în fața zidurilor Crac des Chevaliers. Există trei surse arabe despre asediu, însă numai una, cea a lui Ibn Shaddad, a fost scrisă de un contemporan, deși acesta nu a fost prezent. Țăranii care locuiau în zona adiacentă, s-au refugiat la castel. De îndată ce a ajuns, Baibars a început construirea unor arme de asediu puternice. Conform lui Ibn Shaddad, două zile mai târziu, prima linie de apărare a fost capturată de către asediatorilor. S-a referit, probabil, la o parte inferioară a zidurilor din exteriorul castelului.
Ploaia a întrerupt asediul, dar la data de 21 martie, a fost capturat un fort exterior triunghiular, situat la sud de Crac des Chevaliers, eventual, apărat de o palisadă din lemn. Pe 29 martie, turnul din colțul de sud-vest a fost subminat și s-a prăbușit. Armata lui Baibars au atacat prin breșa din zid, unde au întâlnit țăranii care s-au refugiat în castel.
Deși curtea exterioară a căzut, cruciații s-au retras în castelul interior mai bine fortificat. După zece zile, asediatorii au trimis o scrisoare garnizoanei, se pare, din partea Marelui Maestru al Cavalerilor Ospitalieri din Tripoli care a acordat permisiunea de predare. Deși scrisoarea a fost un fals, garnizoana a capitulat, iar sultanul le-a cruțat viețile. Noii stăpânitori ai castelului s-au ocupat de reparații, axați în principal pe zidul exterior. Capela ospitalierilor a fost transformată într-o moschee, iar două mihrabe s-au adăugat în interior.
Henri Lhote

Henri Lhote (1903–1991) a fost un scriitor, explorator și etnograf francez, "expert în picturi rupestre", care a descris și este creditat pentru descoperirea unor "importante picturi rupestre" într-un "ansamblu de 800 sau mai multe lucrări magnifice ale artei primitive... într-o regiune practic inaccesibilă de la marginea deșertului Sahara" Lhote a fost un vechi teoretician al Teoriei astronautului antic și a considerat arta preistorică ca o dovadă a paleocontactului.
În 1933, un soldat francez cunoscut ca "locotenentul Brenans" s-a aventurat într-un ued adânc din podișul Tassili-n-ajjer aflat în sud-estul Algeriei. Deși prin secolul al XX-lea Tassili-n-ajjer era stearpă și lipsită de animale mari, acolo, pe stâncile de gresie, el a văzut picturi și gravuri rupestre de elefanți, girafe și rinoceri. De asemenea, el a văzut niște figuri umane ciudate.
Lhote, un discipol al "marelui expert în arta preistorică din peșterile din Franța" Abbé Breuil, se afla în Algeria la acel moment și a auzit despre descoperire. El s-a întâlnit cu soldatul la Djanet, a aflat tot ce a putut și a organizat apoi o expediție pentru a investiga descoperirea. Lhote a scris mai târziu că niciodată nu a văzut nimic "atât de extraordinar, atât de original, atât de frumos" ca arta din Tassili n'Ajjer. Lucrând cu sprijinul financiar al Musée de l'Homme, Lhote și colegii săi au descoperit aproximativ 800 de picturi rupestre, realizând mai târziu imagini ale majorității lor cu ajutorul pictorilor și fotografilor.
Aceste imagini au fost prezentate în 1957 și 1958 la Musée des Arts Décoratifs din Paris și au fost, în opinia lui André Malraux, "una dintre cele mai definitorii expoziții de la mijlocul secolului".
După explorarea și descoperirea a mult mai multor imagini, Lhote a făcut publică ipoteza că desenele umanoide îi reprezentau pe extratereștri. În The Search for the Tassili Frescoes: The story of the prehistoric rock-paintings of the Sahara (publicată inițial în Franța în 1958 și la Londra în 1959), Lhote a numit în special o "figură curioasă" și mare ca "Jabbaren" și l-a descris drept "Marele Zeu Marțian".
Presa populară a acordat o mare atenție ipotezei lui Lhote despre un contact preistoric, iar aceasta a fost încorporată mai târziu în "afirmațiile senzaționaliste" ale lui Erich von Däniken potrivit cărora astronauți extratereștri antici au vizitat Pământul preistoric.
Potrivit Encyclopædia Britannica o "scenă vie de dans" pe care Lhote a descoperit-o în 1956 poate fi atribuită din motive stilistice vânătorilor neolitici care au trăit în Sahara în perioada cuprinsă între anii 6000 și 4000 î.e.n. Oamenii de știință consideră că "Marele Zeu Marțian" și celelalte figuri rupestre sunt similare ca reprezentări ale oamenilor obișnuiți cu măști și costume rituale, mai degrabă decât reprezentări ale formelor de viață extraterestră.
Valoarea expediției lui Lhote a fost, de asemenea, contestată de The Journal of North African Studies, o revistă academică afiliată University of East Anglia:
"Ouan Lhote Area" și "Henri Lhote Arch" din Parcul Național Tassili sunt numite după el.

Ugarit

Ugarit (în ugaritică: 𐎜 𐎂 𐎗 𐎚, Ugrt; în arabă: أوغاريت) a fost un oraș port antic pe Mediterana de Est la promontoriul Ras Shamra, lângă Latakia și Minet El-Beida, în nordul Siriei. Situl este la aproximativ 11 kilometri nord de Latakia (latină: Laodicea ad Mare) și la aproximativ 80 km est de Cipru. Ugaritul trimtea tribut în Egipt și menținuea legături comerciale și diplomatice cu Ciprul (numit pe atunci Alashiya), potrivit arhivelor recuperate din sit unde s-a mai găsit ceramică miceniană și cipriotă. Regimul politic al Ugaritului a durat din cca. 1450 î.Hr. până în 1200 î.Hr..
Mudra

O mudra (în sanscrită मुद्रा , „sigiliu”, „marcă” sau „gest”) este un gest sau o poză simbolică sau rituală în hinduism, jainism și budism. În timp ce unele mudre implică întregul corp, cele mai multe sunt efectuate cu mâinile și degetele.
Pe lângă faptul că sunt gesturi spirituale folosite în iconografia și practica spirituală a religiilor indiene, mudrele au semnificație în multe forme de dans indian și yoga. Gama de mudre utilizate în fiecare domeniu (și religie) diferă, dar cu unele suprapuneri. În plus, multe dintre mudrele budiste sunt folosite în afara Asiei de Sud și au dezvoltat diferite forme locale în altă parte. De multe ori, mudra însoțește recitarea unei mantra.
În hatha yoga, mudrele sunt folosite împreună cu pranayama (exerciții de respirație yogică), în general, în poziție așezată, pentru a stimula diferite părți ale corpului implicate în respirație și pentru a afecta fluxul pranei. De asemenea, este asociat cu bindu, bodhicitta, amrita sau conștiința în corp. Spre deosebire de mudrele tantrice mai vechi, mudrele hatha yoghine sunt în general acțiuni interne, care implică podeaua pelvină, diafragma, gâtul, ochii, limba, anusul, organele genitale, abdomenul și alte părți ale corpului. Exemple ale acestei diversități de mudra sunt Mula Bandha, Mahamudra, Viparita Karani, Khecarī mudrā și Vajroli mudra. Acestea s-au extins ca număr de la 3 în Amritasiddhi, la 25 în Gheranda Samhita, cu un set clasic de zece apărut în Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

8348 Bhattacharyya este o planetă minoră (asteroid), cu un diametru de 8,283 km, din centura de asteroizi. A fost descoperită pe 26 ianuarie 1988 la Vainu Bappu Observatory[[Vainu Bappu Observatory (Astronomical observatory located in Kavalur. The observatory is a part of Indian Institute of Astrophysics. Tourist Attraction in india.)|​]] de Rajgopalan Rajamohan​ și a fost numită după J. C. Bhattacharyya[[J. C. Bhattacharyya (astronom indian)|​]].
Obiectul prezintă o orbită caracterizată de o semiaxă mare de 1,8694963 UAi, o excentricitate de 0,07, o înclinație de 19,00055 ° în raport cu ecliptica.
Mount Batur

Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) este un vulcan activ situat în centrul a două caldeire concentrice la nord-vest de Muntele Agung pe insula Bali, Indonezia. Cunoscut și ca ascunzătoarea clanurilor tarubiene. Partea de sud-est a caldeirei mai mari de 10×13 km conține un lac al caldeirei. Atât caldeira mai mare, cât și o caldeiră mai mică de 7,5 km s-au format prin prăbușirea camerei magmatice, prima prăbușire mai mare având loc în urmă cu aproximativ 29.300 de ani, iar cea de-a doua caldeiră interioară s-a prăbușit în urmă cu aproximativ 20.150 de ani. O altă estimare a datei de formare a caldeirei interioare, formată în timpul amplasării ignimbritei Bali (sau Ubud), a fost datată în urmă cu aproximativ 23.670 și 28.500 de ani.
Prima erupție documentată a fost în 1804, iar cea mai recentă în 2000.
Erupția care a făcut ca acest vulcan să fie vizibil deasupra oceanului este una dintre cele mai puternice de pe Pământ. Acest vulcan este marcat de un vârf prăbușit, numit caldeiră.
Caldeira conține un stratovulcan activ, înalt de 700 de metri, care se ridică deasupra suprafeței lacului Batur. Prima erupție documentată a Batur a avut loc în 1804, iar de atunci a fost frecvent activ, cel mai recent în 2000. Câmpul de lavă substanțial de la erupția din 1963 este vizibil astăzi când este privit din Kintamani, un oraș situat pe creasta de sud-vest a caldeirei.
Caldeira este populată și include cele patru sate principale Kedisan, Songan, Trunyan și Toya Bungkah, dintr-un total de 15 sate. Veniturile localnicilor se bazează în mare parte pe agricultură, dar turismul a devenit din ce în ce mai popular datorită drumeției relativ simple spre vârful craterului central.
La 20 septembrie 2012, UNESCO a făcut ca Caldeira Muntelui Batur să facă parte din Rețeaua globală a geoparcurilor.
Sedimentarea puternică în Caldeira Muntelui Batur scade apa din lac. A fost conceput un plan de restricționare a locațiilor din jurul lacului pentru cazarea turiștilor, de informare a locuitorilor cu privire la problemele legate de cuștile piscicole din lac și, probabil, de dragare a unei părți din sedimentarea naturală din cenușa vulcanică.
Lacul este supus poluării apei din cauza pescuitului și a scurgerilor agricole, ceea ce favorizează creșterea unui număr prea mare de zambile de apă, înrăutățind și mai mult condițiile din lac, determinându-i pe unii să se întrebe dacă lacul va dispărea din cauza sedimentării abundente de pe fund și a unui strat dens de zambile de apă.

Fundata, Brașov

Fundata este satul de reședință al comunei cu același nume din județul Brașov, Transilvania, România. Începând cu data de 16 iulie 1973 satul Fundata (Brașov), alături de alte 13 localități, se declara, experimental, sat de interes turistic denumit „sat turistic”.
Situată la altitudinea de 1360 m, Fundata este localitatea situată la cea mai înaltă altitudine din țară. Aflată la mijlocul distanței intre Bran și Rucăr, pe culoar, aceasta este străjuită de munții Bucegi și munții Piatra Craiului.
Pasul Poiana Mărului (Bucovina)

Pasul Poiana Mărului (din Bucovina), este o trecătoare situată în Carpații Orientali la 1125 m altitudine pe DJ177, care traversează Obcina Mare și leagă valea Moldovei de cea a Suceviței. Prin intermediul acestui pas, sunt unite comunele sucevene Sucevița și Mănăstirea Humorului.
Trecătoarea este situată pe culmea dintre vârfurile Scorușeț (1223 m altitudine, spre sud-est) și Poiana Trisiciori(1038 m altitudine, spre nord-est), între localitățile Sucevița (spre nord-vest) și Poiana Micului (spre sud-vest).
Drumul care traversează pasul (încă nemodernizat și optimizat doar pentru traficul forestier), este în curs de modernizare.
Cea mai apropiată stație de cale ferată este la Gura Humorului, pe linia secundară 502.
Cel mai apropiat aeroport se află la Suceava.
În apropiere se află pasurile Ciumârna – spre nord-vest, Pasul Curmătura Boului (Trei Movile) – spre sud-vest și Pleșa – spre sud-est
Turnul Combinatului din Baia Mare

Turnul Combinatului Phoenix din Baia Mare, este cel mai înalt coș de fum din România și a treia construcție industrialǎ din Europa.
Coșul situat în Baia Mare, Maramureș este înalt de 351,5 metri are o deschidere la bază de 20 de metri, iar la vârf un diametru de 9 metri. Turnul a fost ridicat din beton rezistent la noxe, iar în interior este căptușit cu cărămidă refractară. Realizarea acestui proiect a costat 11 milioane de dolari dar s-a dovedit ineficient în combaterea poluării ce amenința zona din jurul municipiului. În 2009, Baia Mare a fost declarat al treilea oraș din România din punct de vedere al poluării după București și Galați, deși turnul nu mai este funcțional.
În prezent, coșul de fum nu are nicio utilitate, dar ar putea fi folosit doar ca obiectiv turistic modern având în vedere dimensiunea lui impresionantă.

Draw soup

Draw soup is the name of soups from the southeastern and southwestern parts of Nigeria that are made from okra, ogbono (Irvingia gabonensis), or ewedu leaves (jute). The name derives from the thick viscosity characteristic of the broth as it draws out of the bowl when eaten either with a spoon or, more characteristically, by dipping a small piece of solid (fufu) into it. It can be served with numerous Nigerian fufu meals, including eba (garri) and pounded yam. Ewedu can be used to make a Yoruba soup that is traditionally served with amala.
The ingredients for draw soup include:
Pass the Plate

Pass the Plate is a multicultural short-form series filmed in ten countries that was produced by Riverstreet Productions in association with Disney Channel. Hosted by Brenda Song, the first season of the series included various other Disney Channel performers from all around the world. Season 2, which debuted on November 1, 2013, was co-hosted by Peyton List and Karan Brar. The third season, also hosted by List and Brar, premiered in its entirety on November 8, 2014.
Rotating on-air each day, Pass the Plate "aims to inspire kids and preteens to lead a healthier lifestyle by sharing cultural and historical facts about food and cooking, while giving emphasis to kids assisting in the preparation of their own meal." Each of the segments focuses on the exposition, preparation and health benefits of one food item – mangoes, rice, fish, tomatoes, bananas, grains, vegetables, fruits, and spinach – and takes viewers across the globe on a tour of how these foods are enjoyed by kids and families in each country.
"We want our programming to reflect and recognize that everyone shares a responsibility to encourage kids and families to adopt healthy lifestyles. Our ongoing healthy kids initiatives...and especially Pass the Plate...represent our global team's effort to both inform and empower our viewers, showing them how kids just like them around the world enjoy and benefit from healthy foods", Disney Channel's Worldwide President Rich Ross said in a statement.
Culinary educator David Glickman is a consultant to the Pass the Plate series.
Below is a list of dishes featured during the first and second seasons of Pass the Plate hosted by Brenda Song, with Wikilinks where appropriate.
The show aired on Disney Channel UK in November 2011. Hosted by Gregg Sulkin, Brad Kavanagh, Sydney White, and Amy Wren, it visited the world to find out about what they eat, like China for noodles, or India for curry. There were also tips on healthy eating.
Disney Consumer Products in the United Kingdom announced a deal with Tesco in 2007 to launch a line of branded food products featuring Disney characters. All the items would conform to nutritional guidelines and limits.
Hot Water Beach

Hot Water Beach is a beach on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand, just south of Mercury Bay. It is approximately 12 kilometres south east of Whitianga, and approximately 175 kilometres from Auckland by car. Its name comes from underground hot springs that filter up through the sand between the high and low water tidal reaches. The beach is a popular destination both for locals and tourists. Annual visitor numbers have been estimated at 700,000, making it one of the most popular geothermal attractions in the Waikato region.
Within two hours either side of low tide, it is possible to dig into the sand allowing hot water to escape to the surface forming a hot water pool. The water, with a temperature as hot as 64 °C (147 °F), filters up from two underground fissures located close to each other. These natural springs can be found on the beach opposite the off-shore rocks. Visitors often dig large holes and relax and soak in the thermal water. Many visitors bring a spade and bucket with them. Spades can also be hired from the nearby surf shop.
Care needs to be exercised as the location of the hot springs are not far from the sea even at low tide, and visitors may be caught unaware by the large breaking waves. Hot Water Beach is known for its dangerous rip currents, holes and large waves. Signs at the beach advise swimmers not to swim within 50 m either side of the off-shore rocks (opposite the springs), and to only swim between the flags of the Hot Water Beach Lifeguard Service. Hot Water Beach's rip currents have claimed the lives of several unwary visitors and only strong and experienced swimmers are advised to enter the water.

Saline Valley Hot Springs

Saline Valley Hot Springs are a series of three thermal springs located in the remote Saline Valley area of Death Valley National Park.
Each of the three main springs have several primitive soaking pools constructed from local rock, concrete and tile. Locals from the area constructed nearby showers, and a dishwashing station for visitors. The National Park System installed vault toilets nearby. Overnight parking is permitted up to 30 days per year.
In 2019 the National Park Service finalized a management plan for the hot springs pertaining to visitor use and cultural and natural resource preservation. Three new camping areas are being developed approximately 100 feet or more from the spring sources to support car camping as well as walk-in campers. The springs are only accessible via a 50-mile long undeveloped dirt road with no facilities.
The lower warm springs consist of a series of intermittent soaking pools; as of 2011 the lower pool is consistently filled with warm spring water. The temperature of the warm springs is 110 °F.
There are two primitive soaking pools fed by Palm Spring. The Wizard Pool is one of the hottest thermal springs in the Saline Valley with temperatures between 105 °F and 112 °F. The three and-a-half foot deep hexagonal soaking pool was built in the 1980s from rock and concrete. Seating has been built surrounding the pool. The Volcano Pool has a cooler temperature than Wizard pool, and is also constructed from rock and concrete and is above ground, whereas Wizard is below ground. Volcano is 15 feet across, with temperatures ranging from 98 °F to 104 °F.
Upper Warm Spring emerges from the source at 102 °F. It consists of two soaking pools, a small sand-bottomed pool and a cool water pool.
The hot spring water emerges from the source between 102 °F and 112 °F.
The springs are located in a remote region of Death Valley, accessible by a 50-mile long dirt road through deep desert. The Chicken Strip, a non-towered, makeshift dirt landing strip is found nearby.
Soak City (Do It)

"Soak City (Do It)" is a song by American rapper 310babii, released on June 3, 2023 as the lead single from his debut EP Lottery Pick (2023) and his studio album Nights and Weekends (2024). It gained traction on the video-sharing app TikTok and is considered his breakthrough hit. The official remix with American rappers Blueface and Tyga featuring Mustard, OhGeesy and BlueBucksClan was released on September 8, 2023. This song is played by the piano.
In June 2023, 310babii recorded the song through BandLab on his phone in his bedroom. According to him, he freestyled the lyrics and recorded it in 15 to 20 minutes.
The song was released to streaming services on June 3, 2023. 310babii uploaded a snippet of the song to Instagram, following which it caught the attention of his classmates in Compton, California, who then created a dance challenge for the song on TikTok. As a result, the song quickly became extremely popular and widely used on social media by the general public as well as celebrities, being featured in over 300,000 TikTok creations. This also led to 310babii receiving cosigns from Travis Scott, Russell Westbrook, FIFA and Juventus among others.
An official music video premiered on August 8, 2023. Directed by Stacking Memories, it sees 310babii enjoying himself at an imaginary Soak City, featuring giant sharks in the sky, color-coordinated dance groups and shots from fisheye lens. 310Babii is seen with sprinkling hoses, water balloon fights and attractive women by the pool, before he is woken up from his daydream by his teacher, who is portrayed by rapper D Smoke. The video also features cameos from Rucci, Famous Uno, RJMrLA, DJ Carisma of Power 106 (who throws the "W" gesture), Tommy the Clown's T-Squad, Storm Debarge, and producers Dupri and Steelz.
The official remix of the song was released on September 8, 2023 and has guest appearances from Blueface, Tyga, Mustard, OhGeesy and BlueBucksClan. 310babii stated the artists contacted him on Instagram for the collaboration.
The song and its remix amassed over 30 million combined streams on Spotify and Apple Music in only a few months upon release. According to Luminate, it amassed 5.2 million streams (up 8%) in the United States and 2.5 million radio audience impressions (up 90%) in the November 10-16 tracking week.
The song became 310Babii's first Billboard chart hit in October 2023 when it debuted at number 33 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, peaking at number 17 by November 18, 2023. By the next week, it debuted at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 25 on Rhythmic Airplay, and peaked at number 25 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
বিশ্ব বাংলা গেট

বিশ্ব বাংলা গেট (পূর্বনাম কলকাতা গেট) হল নিউটাউন, কলকাতা উপনগরীর নারকেলবাগান মোড়ে নির্মিত একটি তোরণ বা গেট। গেটের সঙ্গে রয়েছে একটি ঝুলন্ত রেস্তোরাঁও। গেটের চারটি স্তম্ভ জুড়ে ঝুলে রয়েছে একটি বলয়। কাচ দিয়ে ঘেরা এই বলয়াকৃতি অংশে থাকবে রেস্তোরাঁ এবং ভিজিটর্স গ্যালারি। যেখান থেকে নিউটাউন ও কলকাতার অনেকটা অংশ দেখা যাবে। এটি কলকাতা শহরের স্বগত তোরণ বা প্রবেশ দ্বার হিসাবে নির্মাণ করা হয়েছে। এই স্থাপত্বটি কলকাতা শহরের একটি আধুনিক শিল্প নির্মাণের প্রতীক।
কলকাতার নিউটাউনের বিশ্ব বাংলা সরণি, মেজর আর্টেরিয়াল রোড (দ: পূ:) ও নিউ টাউন রোড এর সংযোগস্থলে অবস্থিত নারকেলবাগান মোড়ে এই তোরণটির অবস্থান।
কলকাতা গেটের নকশা করেছেন পশ্চিমবঙ্গের মুখ্যমন্ত্রী মমতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়। এই নকশা ২০১৫ সালে জনসমুখে আনা হয়। এর পর ৬ মার্চ ২০১৭ সালে শুরু হয় গেটের নির্মাণ।গেটি নির্মাণ করা হচ্ছে ৭০ টন ইস্পাতের দ্বারা। এই গেট নির্মাণে খরচ হচ্ছে মোট ২৫ কোটি টাকা।
প্রায় ৫৫ মিটার উচ্চতা হবে এই গেটের। দর্শকদের জন্য তৈরি বলয়াকৃতি টানেলটি থাকবে মাটি থেকে প্রায় ২৫ মিটার উপরে। কলকাতা গেটের একপাশেই থাকা লিফ্‌টে উপরে উঠতে পারবেন দর্শকেরা। টানেলকে সাজিয়ে তুলতে বঙ্গ সংস্কৃতির সঙ্গে খাপ খাইয়ে নানারকম ছবিও থাকবে সেখানে। গোটা টানেলের বাইরের অংশ থাকবে আলোয় মোড়া। মধ্যের অংশে থাকবে বিশ্ব বাংলার লোগো।
নিউটাউনের সৌন্দর্যায়নের অংশ হিসেবে গড়ে তোলা হচ্ছে এই ঝুলন্ত রেস্তোরাঁ। প্যারিসের আইফেল টাওয়ারে ভিজিটর্স গ্যালারি এবং মালয়েশিয়ার ঝুলন্ত রেস্তোরাঁ থেকে এই ভাবনা থেকেই হিডকো এই গেট ও ঝুলন্ত রেস্তোরাঁ নির্মাণ করেছে। পুর এবং নগরোন্নয়নমন্ত্রী ফিরহাদ হাকিম কথায়, সাধারণ মানুষকে আনন্দ দেওয়ার জন্যই এই ব্যবস্থা।’
কলকাতা রোপওয়ে

কলকাতা রোপওয়ে হল কলকাতা শহরের একটি প্রস্তাবিত রোপওয়ে পরিবহন ব্যবস্থা। সমস্ত রোপওয়ে ব্যবস্থা গুলি ঝুলন্ত কেবলের সঙ্গে সরলরেখা ধরে চলাচল করায় কেবল কারগুলো বাঁক নিতে পারেনা; কিন্তু কলকাতায় তৈরি কেবল কারগুলো বাঁক নিতে পারবে, ফলে প্রকল্পটি সমাপ্তের পর কলকাতা রোপওয়ে ব্যবস্থা হবে বিশ্বের প্রথম বাঁক নিয়ে চলাচল কারি রোপওয়ে বা কেবল কার ব্যবস্থা।
কলকাতা শহরে দিন দিন জনসংখ্যা বৃদ্ধির ফলে সড়ক পথে যাত্রি বাড়ায় মেট্রো, ট্রাম, বাস, অটো, টেক্সি প্রভৃতি পরিসেবা থাকার পরও যানজট বাড়ছে। তাই শহরে রোপওয়ে পরিসেবা চালুর ব্যবস্থা নেওয়া হয়েছে। প্রথমে দক্ষিণ কলকাতাযর জোকায় ৫০০ মিটার দৈর্ঘের পরিক্ষামূলক রোপওয়ে ব্যবস্থা চালু করা হয়েছে ও তা সফলও হয়েছে। বর্তমানে এই ব্যবস্থাটি সমগ্র কলকাতা শহর জুড়ে চালুর পরিকল্পনা নেওয়া হয়েছে।
কলকাতা রোপওয়ে ব্যবস্থায় প্রথম পর্যায় ২টি রুট এর পরিকল্পনা করা হয়েছে; এগুলো হলোঃ
রোপওয়ে ব্যবস্থায় ৭৫০ মিটার পর পর রোপওয়ে স্টেশন গড়া হবে।
সামসময়িক মসজিদের স্থাপত্য

সমসাময়িক মসজিদ স্থাপত্য আধুনিক নান্দনিকতা, উপকরণ এবং নির্মাণ কৌশলের সাথে মসজিদ স্থাপত্যের ঐতিহ্যগত উপাদানগুলিকে একত্রিত করে। ধর্মীয় স্থান হিসাবে, মসজিদগুলি ৭ম শতাব্দীর। সমসাময়িক মসজিদগুলো আধুনিকতা এবং স্থায়িত্বের সাথে মূল ঐতিহ্যকে একত্রিত করে, যা স্থাপত্য তত্ত্ব এবং অনুশীলনের অগ্রগতি প্রতিফলিত করে।
ঐতিহাসিকভাবে, মসজিদের স্থাপত্য সাংস্কৃতিক ও সামাজিক প্রেক্ষাপটের প্রতিফলন। শতাব্দীর পর শতাব্দী ধরে, এই স্থাপনাগুলি বিভিন্ন স্থাপত্য শৈলীকে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করেছে, যার মধ্যে রয়েছে প্রাথমিক ইসলামের সাধারণ, বিনয়ী কাঠামো থেকে শুরু করে উসমানীয়, পারস্য এবং মুঘল সাম্রাজ্যে দেখা বিশাল, অলঙ্কৃত নকশা।
বিংশ শতাব্দীতে, আধুনিকতাবাদী স্থাপত্যের বিশ্বব্যাপী বিস্তারের সাথে সাথে মসজিদের নকশাও পরিবর্তিত হতে শুরু করেছে। স্থপতিরা নতুন উপকরণ ও কৌশল নিয়ে পরীক্ষা-নিরীক্ষা শুরু করে, আধুনিকতা, নান্দনিকতা এবং কার্যকারিতাকে ঐতিহ্যগতভাবে ইসলামিক নীতি ও মোটিফের সাথে একত্রিত করে।
যদিও সমসাময়িক সময়কালে, নির্মাণ পদ্ধতিতে আরও বৃহত্তর পরিবর্তন এসেছে, অনেক স্থপতি একবিংশ শতাব্দীর জন্য মসজিদগুলোকে পুনরায় নকশা করে তা আবার পুনর্নির্মাণ করতে চেয়েছিলেন।
যদিও সমসাময়িক সময়ের মসজিদগুলির মিহরাব (মক্কার দিক নির্দেশ করে), মিনার (আযানের জন্য উঁচু মিনার) এবং একটি বড় খোলা প্রার্থনাশালার মতো মূল উপাদানগুলিকে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করে চলেছে, স্থপতিরা প্রায়শই অভিনব উপায়ে তা নির্মাণ করে চলেছে।
সমসাময়িক মসজিদ স্থাপত্যে ঐতিহ্যগত এবং আধুনিক উভয় বৈশিষ্ট্যের বৈশিষ্ট্য জড়িত থাকে। এটি একটি আধুনিক, বিমূর্ত আকারে ঐতিহ্যবাহী ইসলামিক জ্যামিতিক নিদর্শনগুলিকে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করে বা আধুনিকতাবাদী নকশা নীতিগুলির সাথে আঞ্চলিক স্থাপত্য শৈলীগুলিকে একত্রিত করে। এরকম উদাহরণের মধ্যে রয়েছে ইস্তাম্বুলের শাকিরিন মসজিদ। জেইনেপ ফাদিলিওগ্লু দ্বারা ডিজাইন করা, শাকিরিন মসজিদটি একটি আধুনিক নান্দনিকতার সাথে ঐতিহ্যবাহী উসমানীয় নকশার উপাদানগুলিকে একত্রিত করেছে। মসজিটির অভ্যন্তরে আধা-স্বচ্ছ যৌগিক উপাদান দিয়ে তৈরি একটি গম্বুজ এবং একটি মিহরাব রয়েছে।
আধুনিক মসজিদ স্থাপত্য প্রায়ই ইস্পাত, কাচ এবং কংক্রিটের মতো নতুন উপকরণের পাশাপাশি উন্নত স্থাপত্য প্রযুক্তি ব্যবহার হয়। এর দ্বারা নকশার ক্ষেত্রে সৃজনশীলতা না থাকলেও ভবনের কার্যকারিতা এবং স্থায়িত্ব উন্নত করতে সক্ষম। ২০১৫ সালে পুনর্নির্মিত সিঙ্গাপুরে আল আনসার মসজিদে এই বৈশিষ্ট্যগুলি সনাক্ত করা যেতে যায়।
সমসাময়িক সময়ে, অনেক মসজিদকে শুধুমাত্র উপাসনার স্থান হিসেবেই নয় বরং কমিউনিটি সেন্টার বা সমাজের মিলন কেন্দ্র হিসেবেও কাজ করার জন্য ডিজাইন করা হয়েছে, যা বিভিন্ন ধরনের সমাজে বিভিন্ন ধরনের সেবা ও সুবিধা প্রদান করে।
বর্তমানে মসজিদ স্থাপত্যে টেকসই নকশার উপর বেশি জোর দেওয়া হচ্ছে, যা স্থাপত্য ক্ষেত্রের ব্যাপক প্রবণতাকে প্রতিফলিত করে। এর মধ্যে রয়েছে নবায়নযোগ্য শক্তির উৎস যেমন প্রাকৃতিক বায়ুচলাচল এবং আলোক ব্যবস্থা, পানি সংরক্ষণের ব্যবস্থা এবং ভবনের উপর পরিবেশগত কুপ্রভাব হ্রাসকারী উপকরণগুলির ব্যবহার। এমরে অ্যারোলাট আর্কিটেকচার দ্বারা ডিজাইন করা সানকাক্লার মসজিদ-এ এই নীতিগুলি স্পষ্ট প্রতিফলিত হয়েছে, যা প্রাকৃতিক ভূদৃশ্যের সাথে এর ন্যূনতম নকশা এবং একীকরণের জন্য উল্লেখযোগ্য। মসজিদটি একটি পাহাড়ের ধারে তৈরি করা হয়েছে, সালাত আদায়ের কক্ষের দিকে একটি ছাদযুক্ত মুক্ত স্থান রয়েছে তা মিলনায়তন হিসেবে ব্যবহার করা হয়৷
ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া সদর উপজেলা

ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া সদর উপজেলা বাংলাদেশের ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া জেলার একটি প্রশাসনিক এলাকা।
ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া সদর উপজেলার আয়তন ২৩৭.৩৪ বর্গ কিলোমিটার (৫৮,৬৪৯ একর)। এ উপজেলার উত্তরে সরাইল উপজেলা ও নাসিরনগর উপজেলা, দক্ষিণে আখাউড়া উপজেলা, কসবা উপজেলা ও নবীনগর উপজেলা, পূর্বে হবিগঞ্জ জেলার মাধবপুর উপজেলা ও ভারতের ত্রিপুরা, পশ্চিমে নবীনগর উপজেলা ও আশুগঞ্জ উপজেলা।
সৈয়দ মাহমুদ যে এলাকায় বসবাস করতেন তার নামানুসারে কাজীপাড়া (কাদির একটি রূপ) নামকরণ করা হয় এবং তার মাজার (সমাধি) সেখানেই রয়েছে।
কথিত আছে তাকেই ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া জেলার প্রতিষ্ঠাতা হিসেবে ধরা হয়।
তবে ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া জেলার নাম "ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া" হওয়া নিয়ে স্থানীয়দের মাঝে অনেক মতামত বা আলোচনা থাকলেও। সবচেয়ে প্রসিদ্ধ এবং গ্রহণযোগ্য আলোচনা হলো- কোনো এক সময় ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়াতে প্রচুর সনাতন ধর্মের মানুষ বসবাস করতো। (এখনো বিভিন্ন জায়গাতে উল্লেখযোগ্য সনাতন ধর্মালম্বী মানুষ বসবাস করেন)। তখন সনাতন ধর্মালম্বী মানুষদের পূজা বা ধর্মীয় রীতিনীতি সম্পাদনের জন্য ব্রাহ্মণের অভাব দেখা দেয়। তৎকালীন এই অঞ্চলের রাজা, সুদূর কলকাতা থেকে এখানে বেশ কয়েকটি ব্রাহ্মণ পরিবারকে পাঠান বসবাসের জন্য। সেখান থেকেই এই এলাকার নাম হয় ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া।
শুরুতে কয়েকটি পরিবার শহরের কাজীপাড়া ও কান্ধীপাড়া এলাকায় বসবাস করেন। মূলত এই জায়গার নাম ই ছিলো ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া। পরবর্তীতে কালের বিবতর্নে পুরো জেলার নাম হয় ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া।
ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া সদর উপজেলায় বর্তমানে ১টি পৌরসভা ও ১১টি ইউনিয়ন রয়েছে। সম্পূর্ণ উপজেলার প্রশাসনিক কার্যক্রম ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া সদর থানার আওতাধীন।

ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর সাংস্কৃতিক ইনস্টিটিউট, রাঙ্গামাটি

ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর সাংস্কৃতিক ইনস্টিটিউট বাংলাদেশের রাঙ্গামাটি জেলার, রাঙ্গামাটি সদর উপজেলায় অবস্থিত। বৃহত্তর পার্বত্য চট্টগ্রাম অঞ্চলের ক্ষুদ্র নৃ-গোষ্ঠীর সাংস্কৃতিক ঐতিহ্য সংরক্ষণ, পরিচর্যা, উন্নয়ন ও চর্চা এবং লালনের লক্ষ্যে ১৯৯৩ সালে সংস্কৃতি মন্ত্রণালয়ের একটি বিশেষ প্রকল্পের মাধ্যমে এ ইনস্টিটিউটটি প্রতিষ্ঠা করা হয়।
১৯৭৮ সালে রাঙামাটিতে উপজাতীয় সাংস্কৃতিক ইনস্টিটিউট প্রতিষ্ঠা করা হয়। প্রথমে প্রতিষ্ঠানটি পার্বত্য চট্টগ্রাম উন্নয়ন বোর্ডের নিয়ন্ত্রণাধীন ছিল। ১৯৮১ সালে এটি শিক্ষা মন্ত্রণালয়ের অধীনে স্থানান্তরিত হয় এবং ১৯৯৩ সালের ১ মে রাঙ্গামাটি পার্বত্য জেলা স্থানীয় সরকার পরিষদের নিকট এটি হস্তান্তর করা হয়। সংস্কৃতি বিষয়ক মন্ত্রণালয়ের নিয়ন্ত্রণাধীন সংস্থা হিসেবে একটি স্বতন্ত্র উপজাতীয় সাংস্কৃতিক ইনস্টিটিউট স্থাপন করে ইনস্টিটিউটটিকে প্রধান কার্যালয়ে রূপান্তর করা হয়। পরবর্তীতে ২০১০ সালের ১২ এপ্রিল ক্ষুদ্র ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠী সাংস্কৃতিক প্রতিষ্ঠান আইন ২০১০ পাস হয়, যার অধীনে ইনস্টিটিউট একটি সংবিধিবদ্ধ স্বায়ত্বশাসিত প্রতিষ্ঠানে রূপান্তরিত হয়। এরপর ইনস্টিটিউটের নাম পরিবর্তন করে ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর সাংস্কৃতিক ইনস্টিটিউট, রাঙ্গামাটি রাখা হয়। বর্তমানে এটি সংস্কৃতি বিষয়ক মন্ত্রণালয়ের অধীনস্ত দপ্তর হিসেবে পরিচালিত হচ্ছে। এটি বৃহত্তর পার্বত্য চট্টগ্রামে বসবাসরত ১১টি ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর বর্ণাঢ্য ঐতিহ্যবাহী সংস্কৃতির সংরক্ষণ, উন্নয়ন ও বিকাশ সাধন এবং এই সকল সংস্কৃতিকে দেশের জাতীয় সংস্কৃতির মূল স্রোতধারার সহিত সম্পৃক্ত করার উদ্দেশ্যে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়।
ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর সাংস্কৃতিক ইনস্টিটিউটের কমপ্লেক্সে একটি দুইতলা বিশিষ্ট প্রশাসনিক ভবন রয়েছে। এছাড়াও, সেখানে ত্রিতলবিশিষ্ট একটি দৃষ্টিনন্দন জাদুঘর ভবন, ত্রিতলবিশিষ্ট ট্রেনিং সেন্টার ও আর্টিস্ট হোস্টেল ভবন, এবং ২৫০ আসনবিশিষ্ট একটি অডিটরিয়াম রয়েছে। ইনস্টিটিউটের মোট ৪টি শাখা রয়েছে। শাখাগুলো হলো:
ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর সাংস্কৃতিক প্রতিষ্ঠান আইন-২০১০ এর ৬ এবং ৭ ধারা অনুযায়ী, সরকার কর্তৃক ইনস্টিটিউটের সার্বিক কার্যক্রম পরিচালনার জন্য ৯ সদস্য বিশিষ্ট একটি নির্বাহী পরিষদ অনুমোদিত হয়েছে।
