Meghna River
The Meghna River (Bengali: মেঘনা নদী, romanized: Mēghanā Nadī) is one of the major rivers in Bangladesh,[1] one of the three that form the Ganges Delta, the largest delta on earth, which fans out to the Bay of Bengal. A part of the Surma-Meghna River System, Meghna is formed inside Bangladesh in Kishoreganj District above the town of Bhairab Bazar by the joining of the Surma and the Kushiyara, both of which originate in the hilly regions of eastern India as the Barak River. The Meghna meets its major tributary, the Padma, in Chandpur District. Other major tributaries of the Meghna include the Dhaleshwari, the Gumti, and the Feni. The Meghna empties into the Bay of Bengal in Bhola District via four principal mouths, named Tetulia (Ilsha), Shahbazpur, Hatia, and Bamni.
The Meghna is the widest river that flow completely inside the boundaries of Bangladesh. At a point near Bhola, Meghna is 13 km wide. In its lower reaches, this river's path is almost perfectly straight.
The Meghna is formed due to the confluence of the Surma and Kushiyara rivers originating from the hilly regions of eastern India. Down to Chandpur, Meghna is hydrographically referred to as the Upper Meghna. After the Padma joins, it is referred to as the Lower Meghna.
Near Muladhuli in Barisal district, the Safipur River is an offshoot of the Surma that creates one of the main rivers in South Bengal. 1.5 km wide, this river is one of the widest in the country as well.[citation needed]
At Chatalpar of Brahmanbaria District, the river Titas emerges from Meghna and after circling two large bends by a distance of about 240 kilometres (150 mi)[citation needed], falls into the Meghna again near Nabinagar Upazila. The Titas forms as a single stream but braids into two distinct streams that remain separate before re-joining the Meghna.
In Daudkandi, (Comilla District), the Meghna is joined by the Gumti River, which increases the Meghna's water flow considerably. The pair of bridges over the Meghna and Gumti are two of the country's largest bridges.
Meghna is reinforced by the Dhaleshwari before Chandpur. Further down, the Padma River- the largest distributary of the Ganges in Bangladesh, along with the Jamuna River- the largest distributary of the Brahmaputra, join with the Meghna in Chandpur District, resulting in the Lower Meghna.
After Chandpur, the combined flow of the Padma, Jamuna, and Meghna moves down to the Bay of Bengal in an almost straight line, braiding occasionally into a number of riverines including the Pagli, Katalia, Dhonagoda, Matlab, and Udhamodi. All of these rivers rejoin the Meghna at different points downstream.
Near Bhola, just before flowing into the Bay of Bengal, the river again divides into two main streams in the Ganges delta and separates an island from both sides of the mainland. The western stream is called Ilsha while the eastern one is called Bamni. They form the largest delta named Ganges delta.

Ah, those magic words ? ?Attract Clients?. Virtually every professional I know loves the idea of attracting clients, and would be even happier if there was a ?magic formula? for accomplishing it. Well, actually there is a formula that works like magic for attracting clients to you. And I?m going to reveal it ? right here, right now. (OK, to be more specific, it?ll be at the end of the article. But no cheating! You need to read through the article for the formula to make sense.)
First of all, this isn?t about simply ?getting? clients. It?s about attracting them to you. It is the concept of building a business without chasing prospects, dogging down purchased leads, or operating a ?quote mill? ? turning out quote after quote hoping to have the lowest price. Unfortunately, many professionals are either trained or take it upon themselves to uncover prospects ?at arm?s length?. It seems that either intentionally or inadvertently, companies often train their team to build their business by pursuing prospects. Although many companies and managers praise the benefits of ?attracting? clients, when it comes time to meet production quotas, all the methods which ?pursue? clients are the ones encouraged. By the time ?meeting production quotas? become an issue, drastic measures are called for.
The solution, of course, is to avoid being in that place of ?catch-up? to begin with. By learning how to attract clients and by applying those methods consistently, you side-step the need to pursue clients altogether. Virtually every professional who has a sizable, growing business ? characterized by high retention and a steady flow of client referrals ? does it by attracting clients rather than pursuing them.
There are two key components to successfully attracting clients. The first key is to understand that people will be attracted to you by WHO YOU ARE, rather than by WHAT YOU DO. While there will be a small group of people who will do business with you strictly based on your depth of knowledge, most people ? in fact, the majority of people ? will do business with you because of who you are. Having good knowledge of your products, services, and industry is important. And having strong technical skills is useful and important as well. It?s just that being knowledgeable and skillful isn?t sufficient.
Let me offer some proof. I?m willing to bet that we?ve all known one or more professionals who were an absolute fountain of knowledge regarding product and service info. And yet, they went out of business due to lack of clients. In contrast, I?m also willing to bet that we?ve also known professionals who really weren?t all that sharp when it came to understanding the details. And yet, these professionals built and sustained large businesses. The reason, of course, is that clients were attracted to them for who they were, more so than what they knew.
So, how do we maximize ?Who We Are?? We maximize and amplify who we are by continually improving our communication skills, our social skills, and our integrity. In short, ?who we are? is defined by our people skills. When we have good people skills, we:
? Communicate clearly and cleanly
? Are relatable
? Do what we say we?re going to do
? Are professional in attitude and manner
? Have a positive attitude
? Take an interest in others
? Treat people with respect
How do we improve in these areas? The easiest way to start is by simply being more mindful of each of those people skills. Just by drawing our attention to each aspect of good people skills, we can begin to improve. However, one of the challenges most of us have in improving ourselves, is that often we?re blind to what we do and say. We operate on ?auto-pilot?, and as such, aren?t even aware of how we come across to others. Additionally, how we think we come across to others doesn?t really matter. What matters is how others feel about us. Therefore, an excellent way of improving our people skills is to enlist the help of others. Ask people around you to help. Ask a spouse or significant other. (Hey! They?re always hoping to improve us anyway, right?) Ask a fellow professional. Ask a manager. Tell them you?re working to improve your people skills, and 1) ask them which people skills they feel you?re really good at, and 2) ask them which ones they feel are candidates for improvement. Then, ask them to point out to you any words, actions and reactions which represent opportunities for improvement as they arise. Not only will people be happy to help, but they will respect you for your efforts.
The second key component in attracting clients is actually getting out, so that people get a chance to see you, know you, and be attracted to you! The reality is that when you are in your office behind your desk, prospects never get to experience you and those people skills you possess. The result? If you try to get clients from behind your desk, you end up having to pursue them. On the other hand, when you get out and allow people to interact with you, you end up attracting them.

When the pulp of the tooth is infected, damaged or decayed, dentists usually perform a root canal. The pulp refers to the soft tissue that runs all the ways from the crown of a tooth till the roots. It is this part of the tooth that also contains the nerves. In a root canal, the pulp and nerves are removed. The space created is then filled. However, the costs of the treatment are quite high and most patients would prefer not to have one. The good news is that there are some alternatives to root canal.
When the decay inside the tooth is near the nerves, usually the procedure is performed. However, at times, the dentist may decide not to do a root canal. Instead, after cleaning the decay out, the space is filled with a sedative or medicated filling. This can help with pain in the nerve. It is this pain that makes the procedure a necessity. But because of the sedative filling, the pain is prevented. This filling is temporary and after around a month, the filling is removed and a permanent filling is placed.
If the root of the tooth is infected, the dentist may first try to treat the infection with antibiotics. If the infection clears out after the treatment, then root canal is not performed. Some of the antibiotics used are penicillin and amoxicillin. However, it may take a few days for the antibiotic to start working. During this time, the person would require painkillers to help relieve the pain. Painkillers such as NSAIDs are usually prescribed. However, if the pain is severe, then a stronger painkiller is given. This alternative to root canal may not be feasible in all cases.
The last alternative is extraction. Not only is it a quicker option, it also costs less. The extraction can be done by an oral dental surgeon or a general dentist. After the extraction, the dentist may advise the person to have a bridge, partial denture or implant to fill the gap. This is recommended as the teeth on either side of the extraction will not have support and in the long run they will get loose or misaligned. This replacement could end up adding to the cost of the extraction. Hence, before you opt for an extraction, it is important to speak to your dentist to find out how the tooth would be replaced.

Wanting to learn something new is easy.
Signing up to start learning it is fairly easy.
Getting yourself to step into that first class or lesson isn't quite as easy. Fear can start to kick in, combined with inhibition and vulnerability with a side of nervousness. But still, let's say getting to the first class isn't so difficult.
You get to the first class and what you imagined yourself doing might not be what comes out of you. Well, you say to yourself, this is much harder than it looks.
There's the rub. What do you do?
Fun fact: it's ok to not be good at something. You might be terrible at it. Let's think ahead though.
What happens if you keep going back? You become less terrible. And the next time even less terrible. One day, low and behold, you will be good at it! The rewards are much greater than the frustration and stumbles along the way.
Many have bailed before they got a chance to see what they are able to accomplish. If that inner voice is saying it's too hard, find that stronger voice that tells you to enjoy the journey. Enjoy being terrible. I'm not here typing this because I'm great. I'm here because I was terrible and I kept going.

No Proposal to Abolish Government Job Examination Fee
The government of India made it clear in the Parliament that there is 'No Proposal to Abolish Government Job Examination Fee'.
|No Proposal to abolish Government Job Examination Fee
This information was provided by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha on 27th June 2019.
He said that there is no proposal under consideration of the Government to abolish application fee for all candidates appearing for Government job recruitment examinations.
However, candidates belonging to Schedule Caste (SC)/Schedule Tribe (ST), Persons With Disabilities (PWD), Ex-Servicemen and Women candidates are already exempted from payment of the fee for Government recruitment examinations. In some cases, the examination fee is fully exempted while in most of that case fee charged 50% of the fee charged from general category candidates.
Government Job Recruitment Examination fee has increased many folds in recent years and it would have been better if the government abolish the fee completely for all types of candidates. This will benefit a large section of society. This would be a real social cause.
The government, on one hand, provide subsidies and loan waiver kind of freebies and other benefits to some section of the society and here in the case of unemployed job seekers, government fetches a fee for its own requirement of manpower and government recruitment examinations.
An unemployed job seeker generally applies to many government job vacancies and find it extremely hard to pay for all of the government recruitment examinations besides the hassle of paying by various means. The abolition of government job recruitment examination fees will be a good step.
If the government really wants to get a fee for recruitment examinations, it can charge from selected candidates from their pay for several months, after they join.
See - Government Job Recruitment Examination fee has increased
