Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft Voyager-1 departed Earth on 5 September 1977, after it's sister spacecraft left the Earth. ​It moved beyond the bubble of gas emitted by the Sun - a domain known as the heliosphere - in 2012. ​Voyager-1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. (NASA) ​What was the primary objective of these twin spacecrafts, V1 and V2?  They were doing a survey of the planets -Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune- which was done in 1989.

The student protest in Dhaka turned bitter and the state government pressed police force and took reactionary measures to repress. The current social turmoil in Bangladesh since June 5 has come to a full circle with the resignation of Prime Minister Shekh Hasina on Tuesday. For more than one month, students took to the streets of Dhaka, the capital. They were up in arms to fight against the quota system in government jobs.  Earlier there was 60 per cent quota for the families of the martyrs of Bangladesh War in 1971. Hasina government outrightly scrapped the reservation procedure leading to consternation among students in universities in Dhaka. The Supreme Court reinstated the quota system but the allotment was not in favour of students. The students wanted  the quota system based on merit. The Supreme Court finally came to the decision to give only seven per cent quota to the families of the martyrs' families, two per cent to the other backward class, transgenders and 93 per ...

Life changed course আমার কিছু কথা না বলাই থাকবে যদি না আমি গত কয়েকবছর আমার শারীরিক কিছু অসুবিধার কথা খুলে না বলি। যদিও আমি একজন English medium এ পড়া একজন student and although not a topper কিন্তু আমি খুব পড়াশুনো ও বই নিয়ে থাকতে ভালোবাসি। I have always loved reading books outside the syllabus. এটা মোটেই আমার জীবন কাহিনী নয়। This is a lesson, and not just an experience which I have acquired by spending my savings to become independent. আমার বাবা Mr Sasanka Sekhar Banerjee একজন professional এবং পেশায় engineer from Bata India Limited. 🍀. আমি মোটেই engineering পড়তে সক্ষম হয়নি। I lacked that stamina which an engineer must have to become an achiever or performer. কিন্তূ আমি একজন engineer বাবার সঙ্গেই বড় হয়ে শিখেছি। আমার কোনদিন কোনো ইচ্ছা হয়নি engineer হতে but I knew about Joint Entrance Examination and I also knew that to appear for JEE one must have good scores in Madhyamik Examination. My mother's sudden illness during my first Board Exams somewhat changed the course of my li...

  Grand parents and single grand parent in Sweden have a reason to cheer. Sweeden has come up with a groundbreaking law which entails grandparents to take paid leave up to three months during the child's first one year after birth. Moreover, parent couple can transfer 30 days' leave while single parent can transfer 90 days' leave to the grand parents. This law comes 50 years after the Scandinavian country became the first in the world to offer paid parental leave to the father's and not just the mother's.

  The banner that fell down on the petrol pump at Pant Nagar in Mumai's Ghatkopar area killed 17 persons on the spot on May 13. More than seventy people were injured when the giant hoarding collapsed from a height of a high rise. Innocent people lost their lives soon after a storm dislocated the hoarding which was illegally erected by the side of the road. The investigation revealed that that one Ego Media Private Limited was the owner of the banner. The Director of the advertising agency Bhavesh Bhinde (current) was held soon after. But now after a month or so when the probe is on, several other facts are coming to the fore. The Mumbai Sessions Court has dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Jhanvi Marathe of Ego Media on May 31. She has escaped since then. Jhanvi Marathe was in charge since 2000 before Mr Bhinde took charge. The Director Bhinde was at large and was caught by Mumbai Crime Branch from Rajasthan.  There is another part of the mishap that is causing a serious ...

  Justice for Swapnadeep কতবার যাদবপুর বিশ্ব বিদ্যালয় এর পাশ দিয়ে হেঁটে গেছি, একে একে Gate গুলো cross করার সময় দু একবার মুখ তুলে তাকিয়ে দেখেছি Engineering department building. তারপর আবার চলতে চলতে শেষ গেট টার কাছে এসে 8B bus stand। অনবরত students আসছে যাচ্ছে। যেমন ভগবান্ অদৃশ্য থেকে ভবিষৎ লেখেন তেমনটাই মনে হতো Gate এর দিকে দৃষ্টি পাত করলে। এই বুঝি ডাকবে। আবার অনেক পৃষ্ঠা পড়তে ও লিখতে হবে, যার কোনো শেষ নেই, অসীম ও অনন্ত। Graduation পড়ার tuitions নেওয়ার ক্লাস attend kortam Jadavpur e Sir er কাছে। আজ স্বপ্নদীপ এর স্বপ্ন ভঙ্গ হওয়ার দুঃসহ যন্ত্রনার সাক্ষী হয়ে রইলো Jadavpur University Campus. Twenty years since nothing has changed, ragging continues in the JU campus like in any other college and University premises. University students rule the roost and threaten the juniors especially those who come from districts.  Swapnadeep was seventeen year old Bengali Honours student who hailed from Bogula, in the district of Nadia.  On the dreadful night of August 9, the Honour...

A brief history of bus service in London In England the first bus service which was launched in 1662 was more like horse carriages and was invented by French mathematician Blaise Pascal. D ecades after this invention took place,  prototypical British gentleman scientist and inventor   Sir Goldsworthy Gurney designed the steam-powered bus in 1830. Blaise  Pascal named his public bus service in Paris ‘carriages’ but those buses ceased to operate after 15 years and they did not appear again until horse-powered multi-person carriages emerged in Paris again in about 1819 or 1820. "Omnibus" is a Latin word meaning "for all." They were more like modern-day buses custom made for passengers’ comfort, to transport multiple people along a route and allow them to board or debark at locations along the route without the necessity of having stations. The first regular bus route appears to have started from Manchester to Liverpool, beginning in 1824. ...

Criminal Justice Dhananjay Chatterjee was a guard in a building where a teen-aged girl named Hetal Parekh was found dead in March 1990. He was convicted of having raped and killed her and was hanged on his 39th birthday, August 14, 2004, protesting his innocence until the end. His execution followed a shrill campaign waged by the wife of the then West Bengal chief minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya. Chatterjee’s appeals were rejected by the then president APJ Abdul Kalam on the advice of arguably India’s worst home minister, Shivraj Patil, going by historian Ramachandra Guha’s estimation . In a similar situation, his predecessor in Rashtrapati Bhavan, KR Narayanan, had applied his mind wonderfully, as emerges from an anecdote narrated by his secretary, Gopalkrishna Gandhi. Delivering the People’s Union of Civil Liberties’ 35th JP Memorial Lecture in Bangalore on March 23 in 2015 earlier this year, Gandhi described how he had received a call late at night from Chennai regarding ...

Man indicted for commenting on Thai King's pet King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and the dog he rescued from an alley, Tongdaeng, at a boat race in 2008. A factory worker in Thailand has been reportedly punished for being disrespectful towards their King Bhumibol Adulyadej's pet dog. He might have to be in the jail for thirty seven years for posting sarcastic comments about the innocent animal on the internet. The military court of Thailand has seriously dealt with the case by asking the worker Thanakorn Siripaiboon to explain why he had made such remarks. Failing to give any answer to the military court, the Thai worker will now have to spend long time behind the bars. Thailand's strict laws that make it a crime to insult the monarchy entered new territory after the verdict was given a few weeks ago to indict the uncourteous man. Thanakorn could face a total of 37 years in prison for his social media posts, highlighting what has become a feverish campaign t...
