How Russia plans to secure its place in Bangladesh’s rising economy

Last year Bangladesh achieved its highest growth in the last 8 years securing a 7.05 per cent GDP growth rate which is also a substantial increase from the 6.55 per cent growth rate registered in 2014-15. In the current financial year, the government is aiming for 7.4 per cent, while the target for 2020 is 8 per cent. Despite rising security concerns and internal disruptions, the Sheikh Hasina-led government of Bangladesh, has been strongly focusing on economic growth and development by further opening up the country's economy to foreign investors, easing the process of doing business, promoting exports and developing the country's infrastructure.  Bangladesh's closer neighbours like South Korea, Japan, India and China have recently increased their presence in the country joining the UK, U.S. and others that have been investing in the country for a long time, especially in the textile, banking and telecom sectors. Till recently, Russia's presence in modern Banglade...

Automated Clothing Assembly Line

Robot Sewing Demonstration from Sewbo, Inc. from Jon Zornow on Vimeo . Today, sewing relies on the low-tech power of human hands, but soon that may not be the case. Human workers are still needed for the final steps of making clothes, in order to align fabrics and correctly feed them into sewing machines. If robots could do that instead, shock waves of change would surely ripple through global supply chains and disrupt the lives of millions of low-wage earners in the developing world. For better or worse, plenty of technologists, researchers, and companies are working on the challenge of automating textile sewing but so far, getting robots to navigate the imprecisions of flimsy textile materials that easily bend has proven elusive. One promising solution, though, has come from the brain of Jonathan Zornow, a young freelance web developer with no previous background in robotics, manufacturing, or the apparel business. His project, Sewbo, recently demonstrated the wo...

Sim Cards

VCC (power supply), GND (ground), VPP (voltage programming power), I/O (input/output), D- (USB Inter-chip) A subscriber identity module or Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices ,such as mobile phones and computers. It is also a portable memory chip used mostly in cell phones that operate on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network. These cards hold the personal information of the account holder, including his or her phone number, address book, text messages, and other data. When a user wants to change phones, he or she can usually easily remove the card from one handset and insert it into another. SIM cards are convenient and popular with many users, and are a key part of developing cell phone technology. Sim Cards are of four (4) Types. Named as Below H1, H2, ...

Solar Power In India cheaper than Coal

Image
In late 2015, India announced their belief that solar would become cheaper than coal, by 10%, within the next five years. This was a tremendous milestone, considering that India houses 6 out of 10 of the most polluted cities in the world. So what do we do with that prediction? Well, take the next five years, and cut that into one year. India announced in april 2016 that solar is now cheaper than coal, and it’s on a fast track to having a hefty supply of it. This is notable, as solar and renewable energy sources are extremely important for reducing air pollution. Especially in poorer, developing nations, this switch from non-renewables to renewables is absolutely crucial. With that switch comes the need to assess costs. Money is always a determining factor. Is it more beneficial to build a solar grid that’s more expensive than building and maintaining a coal-fired power plant? But now, this question may not be necessary, as capital costs are down a staggering 60% i...

Top 10 Linux Distros of 2017

Image
The new year is upon us, and it’s time to look toward what the next 365 days have in store. I look at what the best Linux distributions  of 2016 were and would be for 2017, to be found from the ever-expanding crop of possibilities. Of course, I cannot just create a list of operating systems and say “these are the best,” not when so often Linux can be very task-oriented. To that end, I’m going to list which distros got the most pageviews in the last 12 months on Distrowatch.com 10.) Arch Linux -    Architecture: arm, i686, x86_64 Desktop: Cinnamon, Enlightenment, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Xfce Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686- and x86_64-optimised Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users. It uses 'pacman', its home-grown package manager, to provide updates to the latest software applications with full dependency tracking. Operating on a rolling release system, Arch can be installed from a CD image or via an FTP server. The ...

Why some EU Countries Don't Use The Euro

Image
The formation of the European Union (EU) paved the way for a unified, multicountry financial system under a single currency—the euro. While most EU member nations agreed to adopt the euro, a few, like the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Sweden (among others), have decided to stick with their own legacy currencies. This article discusses the reasons why some EU nations have shied away from the euro and what advantages this may confer on their economies. There are currently 28 nations in the European Union and of these, nine countries are not in the eurozone—the unified monetary system using the euro. Two of these countries, the United Kingdom and Denmark, are legally exempt from ever adopting the euro (the UK has voted to leave the EU). All other EU countries must enter the eurozone after meeting certain criteria. Countries, however, do have the right to put off meeting the eurozone criteria and thereby postpone their adoption of the euro. EU nations are diverse in culture, cl...

From black money, fake currency and terror financing to cashless society in India

Image
Indian PM saying "I am not hiding my  face. I t's a Radio Program" The primary pitch and narrative of the demonetisation drive by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to have taken a major shift to cashless economy from the initial key highlights of war against black money, corruption and counterfeit currency. “Our dream is that there should be a cashless society. This is correct that 100 percent cashless society is never possible. But we can make a start with less-cash society, then cashless society will not be a far-off destination,” Modi said in the programme.  A significant part of the speech was devoted to the youth with the Indian PM calling out to make the transition happen first to a ‘less-cash economy’ and a ‘cashless’ economy later. There was mention about black money, but the core of the talk was change to a cashless economy.The Indian PM urged people to start using cash substitutes like debit cards and digital wallets, saying it will ma...

Internet hacking, how & what to do?

Image
Just a lil background first.IP address is your addresses on the internet. Everyone gets one from their ISP and each time you visit a website you give your IP address to that site.                                           One of the most common techniques for hacking is known as brute force password cracking. Using tools available online, you can run large lists of possible passwords (usually in the millions) against various network security protocols until the correct password is discovered. The length of time a brute force password attack takes depends on the processing speed of your computer, your Internet connection speed (and any proxy servers you are relying on for anonymity), and some of the security features that may or may not be installed on the target system. To maximize the effectiveness of a brute force password attack, a good hacker will also incorporat...
