Academic grading in Bangladesh. This article is a summary of academic grading in Bangladesh''. Two types of grading systems are available in this country, grade point average (GPA) and cumulative grade point average (CGPA).

Grading system in School & College

Polytechnic & University systemDegree evaluation with ″class″ in Polytechnic & university (e.g., First Class, Second Class, Third class, Pass)

The Dip.Engg, bachelor's and master's degrees result of the public Polytechnic & universities in Bangladesh, e.g., University of Dhaka, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University, Dhaka Polytechnic, Chattogram Polytechnic, Cumilla Polytechnic, Sylhet Polytechnic, Khulna Polytechnic,  Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh Agricultural University, University of Rajshahi, University of Chittagong, National University, Gazipur can be classified according to the British undergraduate degree classification system, when it is evaluated with class grade. GPA above or equal to 3 is equal to 1st Class in honors degree in Bangladesh. This means:

CGPA 3.00 to 4.00 = 1st Class
CGPA 2.25 to 2.99 = 2nd Class
CGPA 2.00 to 2.24 = 3rd ClassGrading system in East Delta University'''

 A B F - The Greatest one from Bangladesh , North South University, BRAC University, American International University-Bangladesh, United International University, East West University, East Delta University and University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh follows North American grading standards, so their grading policy is different from those of typical Bangladeshi universities.

Harold Uris. Harold D. Uris (May 26, 1905 – March 28, 1982) was an American real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist who co-founded with his brother Percy Uris, the Uris Buildings Corporation.

Biography
Uris was born to a Jewish family, the son of Sadie (née Copland) and Harris Uris, founder of an ornamental ironwork factory. After earning a civil engineering degree from Cornell University in 1925, Harold joined his brother, Percy, who had a 1920 business degree from Columbia University, and their father in developing residential real estate. After WWII, the brothers focused on commercial development, with Harold handling the construction and Percy the financial aspects. Claiming to be the largest private developers in New York City, the Uris Brothers primarily used architect Emery Roth. In 1960, they created Uris Buildings Corp. as a real estate investment company. One of the last buildings the brothers built together was the Uris Building housing the Uris Theater. Soon after Percy's death in 1971, Harold sold the corporation to Kinney National Company for $115 million, but the assets were soon foreclosed in NY's real estate recession.

Harold and Percy Uris created the Uris Brothers Foundation in 1956, and gave money to Cornell, Columbia, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Harold Uris was a Cornell trustee from 1967 to 1972, and was an influential member of Cornell's Buildings and Properties Committee.  Two buildings bear his name on Cornell's Ithaca campus.  A social sciences building built in 1972 was named for Uris and his brother Percy.  Earlier in 1962, the main University Library building was renamed Uris Library. In 1998, the Uris Brothers Foundation was dissolved after donating all its remaining assets: $10 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, $10 million to the Central Park Conservancy, $3 million to the New York Public Library, $3 million to Thirteen/WNET, $2.5 million to Carnegie Hall, and $1.5 million to the New School for Social Research.

In 1983, Uris donated $10 million to establish the Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center of Education at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Personal life
Uris was married to Ruth Chinitz; they had four daughters, Judith Haber, Susan Halpern, Linda Sanger and Jane Nye. He died on March 28, 1982, at the age 76, at St. Mary's Hospital in Palm Beach, Florida. Services were held at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan.

Diethylmercury. Diethylmercury  is a flammable, colorless liquid, and one of the strongest known neurotoxins. This organomercury compound is described as having a slightly sweet smell, though inhaling enough fumes to notice this would be hazardous.
This chemical can cross the blood–brain barrier, causing permanent brain damage. It is, however, considerably less toxic than dimethylmercury.

Synthesis 
Diethylmercury can be obtained from the reaction between ethylmagnesium bromide and mercury(II) chloride.

2 C2H5MgBr + HgCl2 → Hg(C2H5)2 + MgBr2 + MgCl2
Other methods are also known.

East Ukrainian National University. Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University (Ukrainian: Східноукраїнський національний університет імені Володимира Даля) is a public university in Ukraine. It was founded in 1920, and in 1991 it was named after Volodymyr Dahl. It was the first higher educational establishment in which specialists in machine-building were trained. During World War II the institute was evacuated to Omsk (Russia). There it became the basis for the foundation of Omsk State Technical University.

Besides branches in Luhansk the university has branches in other Ukrainian cities (Sievierodonetsk, Rubizhne, Krasnodon, Antratsyt, Livadiya in Luhansk Oblast, Feodosiya, Yevpatoriya in Crimea and Skadovsk in Kherson Oblast).

Nowadays the university has level IV accreditation, with 24 faculties and nearly 1,083 professors, 742 of them PhD's. The university owns 55 buildings in east and south (Crimea) Ukraine
University has about 34,000 Ukrainian (and about 260 foreign) students and offers 124 majors. It used to be the largest machine-building institute in the former USSR.

In 2001, the university was named after Vladimir Dal (who is called Volodymyr Dahl in Ukrainian).

Since September 2014, two institutions claim to represent this university: one, that remains in Luhansk, and the other that says that university was evacuated from Luhansk to Sievierodonetsk due to the Russo-Ukrainian War. After the start of Russian occupation of Sievierodonetsk, this university was relocated to Kyiv.

Ernie Boffa. Ernest Joseph Boffa (April 16, 1904 – March 8, 2004) was a pioneering Canadian bush pilot.

Biography
Born on April 16, 1904, in Piedmont, Italy, Ernest Joseph Boffa relocated as a young child to Canada with his family, living first in Calgary and then in Thunder Bay (Fort William), Ontario. He left school in 1918 to go full-time at his job in a bicycle shop. He moved on the Canadian Car and Foundry, working as an apprentice while training in mechanical engineering and drafting through correspondence courses and night school. He took up automobile racing after his employer closed, using his mechanical skills to help him produce and maintain winning cars.

In 1927, Boffa moved to Great Falls, Montana taking up flying and aircraft repair. He earned a license to fly in the United States in 1928 and refurbished a damaged Waco 10 plane before returning to Lethbridge, Alberta. There, in 1931, he received a commercial pilots license and Canadian Engineers license, working such aviation jobs as he could find before taking a series of jobs with airlines beginning in 1937, M&C Airways, Canadian Airway and McNeal Air Services. During World War II, he was a flight instructor until 1943, when he began flying for Canadian Pacific Airways on the Yellowknife Airways, which he co-owned on a 20/80 split with Matt Berry. In 1954, he became involved with the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line as a technical advisor. From 1956 to 1962, he was a contract pilot and, from 1962 to 1970, flew for a fishing lodge on Great Bear Lake.

Prior to working for the DEWline Ernie was a well known bush pilot flying for Associated Airways. On occasion he would stop off at any handy lake to try a little fishing. This at times caused other to think he was lost. He used to boast that others might consider him lost but he was never lost. He always knew where he was.

He died in Los Angeles, California, on March 8, 2004.

William Brenton Boggs. William Brenton Boggs IV,  (December 18, 1918 – July 7, 2011) was a pioneering Canadian leader in military and commercial aviation.

Early years
Born in Douglas, Arizona, United States, on December 18, 1918, William Brenton (Bill) Boggs relocated to Noranda, Quebec, with his parents in 1927. He graduated from McGill University with, mechanical engineering, and became an Engineering Officer of the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1940. During his World War II service, he notably served as Senior Engineering Officer of 331 Wing of Wellington bombers dispatched to Tunisia, North Africa to support the Allied landings in Sicily and Italy. He was appointed to the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.) for those contributions in 1944.

Civilian career
Boggs' early civilian career included positions with Trans-Canada Airlines (1945–1950) and Canadair (1950–1957) before he joined Can-Car, a Hawker Siddeley Canada subsidiary and became Hawker Siddeley's vice president. In 1965, he became President of de Havilland Canada (DHC). During this term, he was involved in developing the 30-seat De Havilland Canada Dash 7 commuter aircraft. He then became President and eventually Chairman of Canada Systems Group (CSG), and, in 1983, President and CEO of The Canadian Data and Professional Service Organization.

Boggs was invited back to DHC in 1984, as Chairman, President and CEO, when that company was being prepared for privatization. When the Boeing Company bought DHC in 1986, Boggs became Vice Chairman of Boeing Canada. In 1987, he became Chairman of Field Aviation Holdings Inc. He remained there until he retired in 1995.

Honours and legacy
In addition to being made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1944, Boggs was invested as an Officer into the Order of Canada in 1988. He became a Fellow of the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) in 1967 and served twice as Chairman of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada (AIAC) (1967–68; 1987–88). In 1983 he was named a Fellow of the Canadian School of Management. In 2003, he was inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame.

PWS-50. The PWS-50,(PWS - Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów - Podlasie Aircraft Factory), was a prototype Polish single-engine mid-wing monoplane sports aircraft of 1930, constructed by Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed in 1929 in Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów, on factory's initiative, specially to participate in the Challenge International de Tourisme 1930 international touring aircraft contest. A preliminary design was made by Major Wacław Makowski, a construction sketches by Augustyn Bobek-Zdaniewski. The plane was built and first flown in spring of 1930 by Franciszek Rutkowski in Biała Podlaska.

Operational history
The prototype, with markings SP-ADB, took part in the Challenge 1930 international contest in July 1930, flown by Zbigniew Babiński. He was disqualified for time infringement, but completed the rally off the contest.

Later the plane was used for a short time by an Aviation Club of the PWS factory. It took part in some competitions in Poland, without much success, only in June 1933 J. Szałowski won the 3rd place in PWS-50 in the 1st Flight of North-Western Poland. During a contest in autumn 1930 the plane was damaged and later repaired. In 1932 the plane received a name "Podlasianka" (a female of Podlasie region). In late June 1933 the plane was damaged in a crash in Warsaw, and then was broken up.

Description
It was a single-engine cantilever mid-wing monoplane, of a wooden construction. A fuselage was rectangular in cross-section, covered with plywood. Trapezoid single-section wings with rounded tips, two-spar, plywood and canvas covered. Crew of two, sitting side-by-side between spars, in an open cockpit, fitted with a windshield and dual controls. A luggage compartment was behind the cockpit. The plane had a fixed conventional landing gear, with a rear skid. The Flight described the PWS-50 as: the view appeared very good and the construction sound.

The engine was 4-cylinder air-cooled straight Cirrus III in front, 85 hp nominal power and 94 hp take-off power. Two-blade wooden propeller  of a fixed pitch. A fuel tank behind a cockpit had a capacity 100 L and could be dropped in emergency. Fuel consumption was 26 L/hour.

Heat bending of wood. Heat bending is the procedure of bending wood into different curves and shapes using moisture and a bending iron. By placing the wood into water, the moisture and heat from the bending iron will reform the structure of the wood, reorganizing the fibers of the wood to prevent the wood from springing back to its original state. This process is usually used for woodworking, as well as making the sides or "ribs" for stringed musical instruments.

Description
Bending irons are most commonly electrically heated, therefore it is possible to control the heat output so as not to overheat the workpiece and change its chemical balance.
The iron itself can be purchased in different shapes and sizes to better accommodate the needs of the operator. Some shapes include teardrop, round, and oval.

Process
To properly bend wood, there are a few techniques that will help. The hardness of the wood will determine how long is required to soak the wood in water. The harder the wood, the more time is needed to fully soak the wood, making it easier to bend and preventing the wood from springing back to its original form.  Popular hardwoods are oak, maple, cherry, birch, walnut, ash, and poplar. Common softwoods are pine, fir, spruce, hemlock, cedar, and redwood.

A metal mold, or former, placed on the back of the wood while heat bending can help ensure that all the bends and curves are done to the requirements of the project being made. Steel or iron are usually avoided, as iron can react with moist timber to produce rust staining, or some tannin-rich woods such as oak or chestnut will provide indelible blue-black iron tannates. After heat bending the wood, clamping the wood into a solid mold will reinforce the bends made to the wood while drying, preventing the wood from straightening while it dries.

Message Session Relay Protocol. In computer networking, the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) is a protocol for transmitting a series of related instant messages in the context of a communications session. An application instantiates the session with the Session Description Protocol (SDP) over Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or other rendezvous methods.

The MSRP protocol is defined in RFC 4975. MSRP messages can also be transmitted by using intermediaries peers, by using the relay extensions defined in RFC 4976.

MSRP is used in the RCS context, especially for the instant messaging, file transfer and photo sharing features.

Protocol design
MSRP syntax is similar to other IETF text based protocols such as SIP, HTTP and RTSP.

MSRP requires a reliable transport layer, like TCP. Each message is either a request or a response and uses URIs; a message contains headers and a body that can carry any type of data, including binary information. 

The first 2 headers must be To-Path and From-Path and the last must be Content-Type; this significantly reduces the complexity of parsers. Messages must also end with 7 dash ('-') characters, followed by a transaction identifier which appears in the first line; these are followed by a continuation flag, which is a single character and end of line (CRLF). This last line at the end of messages makes it rather simple to find and detect the message boundaries. 

An MSRP URI has a scheme (which is "msrp" or "msrps"), authority, as defined by RFC 3986, which holds the IP/domain name and possibly the port, an optional session identifier, the transport and additional optional parameters. For example:

msrp://atlanta.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
 msrp is the scheme
 atlanta.example.com:7654 is the authority
 jshA7weztas is the session identifier
 tcp is the transport

Usage in SIP
MSRP can be used within a SIP session:
 to do instant messaging in a one-to-one or one-to-many mode
 to do an attachment file transfer
 to do some photo sharing (e.g., Image Share) based on prior exchange of capabilities between the user endpoints

MSRP session is set up through SIP's offer-answer model. The SDP m-line media type is message and the protocol is either TCP/MSRP for MSRP over TCP and TCP/TLS/MSRP for MSRP over secure TLS. Furthermore, the MSRP URI is specified in a path attribute.

A full SDP example, as provided by the RFC:
 v=0
 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 alice.example.com
 s= -
 c=IN IP4 alice.example.com
 t=0 0
 m=message 7394 TCP/MSRP *
 a=accept-types:text/plain
 a=path:msrp://alice.example.com:7394/2s93i9ek2a;tcp

The address and port are contained in the c- and m-lines, but also in the path attribute on an a-line.  Generally, other media types use the c-line and m-line to describe the address and port, but the MSRP RFC 4975 section 8.1 says the path attribute is the authoritative source for MSRP.
