CLICK HERE TO WATCH LIVE FREE STREAM ONLINE Preview Bangladesh will be looking to wrap up another ODI series victory over New Zealand when the two sides clash in the second ODI on Thursday. Rubel Hossain was the man of the moment for the hosts, taking a hat-trick after the rain break to ensure the Kiwis had no chance of staging a comeback. New Zealand were further jolted when Kane Williamson had to return home in the middle of the series, leaving an already week batting line-up far more vulnerable. The bowling (except Tim Southee in the first ODI, which they lost by 43 runs, looked ordinary and Brendon McCullum will expect a much better show on Thursday. Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim, who led from the front with a splendid 90, did suggest that the ODI whitewash of 2010 would play on the visitors’ minds and judging by the way they caved in on Tuesday, it looks like the Black Caps are still haunted by those defeats.

...violations, bribery, custodial death and others. The topic talks about a vast area which simply cannot be discussed easily. There are many problems that we have in our society. Here I have narrowed down the topic and will discuss about Section 54, 167 and 61 of Code of Criminal Procedure 1898. All these sections talks about arrest without warrant and detention rules. In our country, these sections are misinterpreted randomly and as a result it violates sections and makes way for corruptions. Actually political and some muscle man of our society does these unlawful things in the name of law to eliminate their obstacles legally. There is a case which deals with custodial death issues where police officers arrested a boy named Shamim Rubel, student of Independent University who was mercilessly beaten and later he died under police custody. Section 54, 61, 167 of Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 My research work is based on mainly section 54 and other section 61 and 167 comes...

...Structuralism Essay Introduction Functionalism created a number of concerns in the late 1950s that shaped a “climate of receptivity to a rather different form of analysis, known as ‘structuralism’” (Bell, 1997, pg.42). Structuralism aimed to uncover the underlying meanings and patterns of social constructs. These meanings can only to be found by interpreting the ritual participants unconscious understanding of the symbols used and the overall context. Levi-Strauss is the founding father of structuralism, as it is applied to anthropology. Many have refined his thesis such as E.E.Evans-Pritchard and Arnold van Gennep. This essay outlines the main features of the theoretical position, the key proponents of the theory as well it critically examines structuralism as a theory used for ritual interpretation. Main features of Structuralism Bronislaw Malinowski among other ritual theorists “began to ask: if such symbols, beliefs, and patterns of ritual activity do not serve simply to maintain the patterns of social relationships, then what do they mean to the people who use them? (Bell, 1997, pg.34). Spawning from functionalism, structuralism is the theory that analyses the function of rituals and how they promote social order and community. Furthermore, structuralism aims to analyse the meaning of ritual activity such as the ideologies and core group values that are conveyed through symbols and the underlying patterns (Bell, 1997). “Structuralism in its widest sense is all about...

...Marx argues that the lower classes, whether slaves, peasants or the proletariat, are being deceived into religion because it is used as a tool encouraged by people in power to maintain their full control economically and politically. He finds that economically, politically and socially deprived people are the ones that tend to seek religion to deal with their cruel conditions, not realizing that these conditions should not be accepted, and that they should fight for their deserved equality. In this sense, with religion, even with philosophers insights' on religion, people of lower classes will not be able to achieve equality unless they change their society's reality as Marx indicates that "the philosophers have only interpreted the world in...

...Amber Kiker Kiker 1 Professor McCarthy English 102 August 12, 2015 Deaf Employment in the Professional Sector Profound hearing loss affects millions of people in the United States today. According to the Gualledette Research Institute there are currently over a million people between the ages of 6 and 65 who are Deaf (Harrington 1). While several state and federally funded programs have been implemented to support early and post-secondary education for the Deaf, evidence points to a significant lack of job placement assistance for Deaf young adults transitioning from college to independent living. Deaf graduates often return home to live with family due to an inability to obtain employment reflective of their academic achievements. Currently in America the most common type of employment held by Deaf individuals is limited primarily to the service and manufacturing industries. The objective of this research is to investigate the professional sector of employment in the United States to uncover the driving mechanisms behind the non-presence of the Deaf Community, specifically those with post-secondary education, and to examine what steps are being taken to resolve this apparent disparity. In the hearing world, graduating from college is the beginning of an exciting chapter of a young adult’s life as it represents the transition from higher education into the world of professional employment. It is the time one gets to put into practice the skills they have...

...the fontanel or soft spot in the top of the infants head is pulled doen as a result from the nipple, when feeding, being pulled out the infants mouth to fast causing him or her to jump or fall. Symptoms can range from crying, dehydration, fever, not able to feed properly and/or diarrhea. When attempting to treat such illnesses a technique that is quite difficult to perform on an infant is used (Neighbor). The curandero will use fingers to press up on the palate (roof of the mouth), holding the baby upside down over water while hitting or shaking the feet (Rubel). Herbs that help with inflammation (poultices), eggs and oil is held on the fontanel and the hair is pulled up so that the roots can raise the skin back up on the fallen fontanel (797). LATIN AMERICAN VIEWS ON MODERN MEDICINE Most Latin Americans feel that modern doctors believe that their illnesses are superstitions and do not believe in Mexican folk diseases (Rubel). They fell that all modern day medicine consists of is prescription and lots of money. They have practiced and known their way of healing and except that over modern medicine. Due to this, Latin Americans do not fully agree on the ways that modern doctors perform so that choose to remain visiting the curanderos for the natural way of treatment (Neighbors). CONCLUSION I found the reseach on curanderismo very interesting, this is one of the many reasons the Latin culture is so close in relationship with one another. Not only does practicing curanderismo bring...

...Can HRM Practices Improve Job Satisfaction of Ready Made Garment (RMG) Workers in Bangladesh? An Alternative Solution to Recent Unrest Background of the study Ready Made Garment (RMG) is one of the successful manufacturing sectors with greater contribution to the national economy of Bangladesh. The industry started its journey in late 1970s and enjoyed a rapid rise from 30 enterprises in 1980 increased to more than 5000 in 2014. Average growth rate of this sector was over 20% per over the last two decades. RMG is the main source of export for the last 25 years. This single sector alone earns about 80% of yearly foreign exchange of the country. Its contribution to GDP reaches 13% in fiscal year 2009-2010. This sector employs more than 3 billion people in Bangladesh of whom 90% are women from rural family. Thus this sector is playing a vital role in socioeconomic development of the country. But this sector is struggling with a number of problems. Conflict between owners and workers, labor unrest, shortage of gas and electricity, poor infrastructure, poor port facility, conspiracy of home and abroad are posing a great threat to its survival. In recent time, labor unrest in the RMG sector has been a matter of serious concern. Almost every day electronic and print media cover news of labor unrest in RMG sector in one place or another across the country. Job dissatisfaction have been the prime causes of recent labor unrests across the country. This job dissatisfaction of RMG workers...

...FBI: A War on Terrorism The Federal Bureau of Investigation is often depicted as the suit wearing hard core heroes called in to crack the tough cases. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a lot like that. There is more to the bureau than just the criminal investigation side. The FBI plays an active role in the war on terrorism. On September 11th 2001, the lives of Americans changed. Two planes were taking over by terrorist that smuggled razor blades on broad. The two high jacked planes then were flown into the Twin Towers in New York. The result was the loss of life for 3,000 Americans; the plane crashes were one of the most lethal attacks America has ever faced. After the heart wrenching and fear striking events of 9/11, the FBI has devoted a great majority of its resources into keep events like September 11th happening again. Within a year, the FBI established new websites, tip lines, and joint organizations to further anti-terrorist culminations. The FBI is currently in charge of more than a dozen agencies concerning terrorism. Many advocates say that the FBI is doing a great job with the war against terrorism. Critics of the FBI’s handling of security directly related to the prevention and/ or detection of possible acts or terrorism or terrorist fall into two categories: the FBI is not doing sufficient job of keeping the lives of American’s safe and secondly, the FBI is overstepping the constitutional boundaries in the so said name of terrorism prevention.

...Prepared By Mohsin rubel Instructor Prof. Emilia Butu ISM 510 Stratford University Falls Church Campus 06/27/2014 E-commerce is the use of internet and the web to make business transactions. Millions of people make purchases on the web, so what makes e-commerce so special? There are 8 unique features of e-commerce that make it so successful. The first thing that makes e-commerce so great is Ubiquity; it is available everywhere at anytime. Online the stores never close. Online shopping has hurt traditional businesses in some ways and helped it in other ways. A positive thing is clicks-and-bricks; you can order online and pick it up at the store. E-commerce has forced business to get online or loss business. One of the negatives is that e-commerce takes away business from traditional businesses. It hurts small "mom and pop" shops as well as big business. Office supply companies like Staples and OfficeMax send out coupons offering $10 off $50 if you buy in-store instead of online so they can reduce in store stock and increase sales. Many companies have a sales quota to make for each store and if they don't they will have to close that store. Global Reach is a great feature of e-commerce. It takes the marketplace to marketspace. You can go "shopping" all around the world in one place. This has given businesses a chance to reach other markets and to billions of potential customers. I think that traditional businesses traditionally advertised on the radio...

...Historical Report on Race ETH/125 May 5, 2013 Historical Report on Race Paper African American During the mid-1500’s, European mariners started bringing African people to America as slaves. These individuals were forced in this movement from one area to another, over long distances or in large groups to be slaves. At this time slaves were traded, with that the slave trade was not new to Europe or Africa. These slaves were traded during the eighth century by Moorish merchants as merchandise throughout the Mediterranean. The West African people kept slaves. West African slaves were usually prisoners of war, criminals, or the lowest-ranked members based on their birth. (Constitutional Rights Foundation, 2013). Once in America, slaves were auctioned off to owners, which often times punished them harshly. These auctions broke up families by selling off family members, however, slaves managed to develop a strong cultural identity. The political, social, and cultural issue throughout American history is poor, black, and is an American. According to McCray (1994), “The repository for the culture of any people is the family, and in the African-American family resiliency, adaptability, and sheer strength are primarily responsible for this group's survival in an alien and hostile environment. The strength of African-American people is found within. Within the family, within its segregated communities and churches, and within the individual.” (pp. 1-3). McCray...
