 Makeover

A makeover is a term applied to changing one's appearance, sometimes through cosmetics. Makeovers can range from something as simple as a new haircut, to the use of cosmetic surgery, to the extreme of the implantation of dental veneers, eye-color-changing contact lenses, and the use of appearance-altering gastric bypass surgeries, providing massive, permanent fat loss in obese persons, and the associated plastic surgeries, such as abdominoplasty, to eliminate the resulting loose-hanging skin folds (the "panniculus").
A make under is based on the opposite principle - removing artificial enhancements to a person's appearance to give a more 'natural' look.

Fashion Makeover

A fashion makeover is an overhaul of a person's image, clothing and fashion sense. Some people, after an extended period of time, continue to wear the same clothing even when the clothes are no longer working for them. The clothing may be severely outdated, not fit the person's body properly or the colors may make the person appear less than stellar. It is at this point that the person may consider doing an entire fashion makeover.
This change is not going to affect just the person's look; it can actually have an effect on several other areas of life, from career to relationships. A fashion makeover can give a boost to a person's confidence level. After dressing and looking the same for a long time, a big change can be just what someone needs to feel better about herself.
An easy way to know if a fashion makeover is necessary is to enlist the help of loved ones. Their outside perspective may be able to offer more insight. Another way is to go through the entire wardrobe and evaluate when the last time there was clothing purchased. If it is a distant memory, it may be time to do a bit of shopping.

Television (TV) is a telecommunication means of transmitting and receiving moving images that can be monochrome (black-and-white) or tinted, with or without accompanying sound. “Television” may also refer particularly to a television set, television encoding, or television transmission. The etymology of the word has a mixed Latin and Greek derivation, meaning “far sight”: Greek tele, far, and Latin visio, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first person).Commercially presented since the late 1920s, the television set has become usual in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a means of transportation for advertising, a source of entertainment, and news. Since the 1970s the availability of video cassettes, laserdiscs, DVDs and now Blu-ray Discs, have resulted in the television set commonly being used for screening recorded as well as broadcast material.
The media of Bangladesh refers to the print, broadcast and online mass media available in Bangladesh. The Constitution guarantees press autonomy and autonomy of expression within “reasonable restriction”, though some media outlets have been stressed. The Bangladeshi media is ranked at 136th out of 178 countries on the Reporters without Borders Press Freedom Index, with 1st being most free. The media in Bangladesh is a mix of government-owned and private media. There are still criminal penalties for slander, insult and agitation as well as reporting on national security issues. Reporters can be held for up to 90 days without trial under the 1974 Special Powers Act. Media restrictions have usually increased during periods of political turmoil. Reporters without Borders have accused the army of targeting journalists and enforcing suppression.
The first television signal broadcast in Bangladesh was in 1964 by the state-owned television network BTV. From then onwards BTV had a virtual monopoly until the late 1990s. Ever since then a number of stations had arrived. Many have also close down in the process.

Newspapers of Bangladesh
A newspaper is a scheduled publication containing information of current events, informative articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It commonly is printed on relatively reasonably priced, low-grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The wide-reaching recession of 2008, joint with the rapid growth of web-based alternatives, caused a serious beg off in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations.
Newspapers published in Bangladesh are authored in either Bengali or English language. Most Bangladeshi daily newspapers are serious-minded newspapers, usually printed in broadsheets. Very few daily tabloids exist. All major daily newspapers now have a free online version. Daily newspapers in Bangladesh are published in the capital Dhaka as well as in each regional major city such as Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Sylhet, Barisal, etc. All daily newspapers are morning editions; there are no evening editions in Bangladesh.
Bangladeshi newspapers for information on local issues, politics, events, celebrations, people and business. Looking for accommodation, shopping, bargains and weather then this is the place to start. Information about holidays, vacations, resorts, real estate and property together with finance, stock market and investments reports; also look for theater, movies, culture, entertainment, activities and events all covered in newspapers from Bangladesh.

Bangladesh’s tribal inhabitants consisted of 897,828 peoples, just over 1 percent of the total inhabitants, at the time of the 1981 census. The Bangladeshi population is comparatively homogeneous and consists of about 98% ethnic Bengali as well as a variety of tribal groups, generally in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and in the regions of Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. The greater part of the tribal population (778,425) lived in rural areas, where many practiced shifting farming. Most tribal people were of SinoTibetan descent and had idiosyncratic Mongoloid features. They spoke Tibeto-Burman languages. In the mid-1980s, the percentage allocation of tribal population by religion was Hindu 24, Buddhist 44, Christian 13, and others 19.
Urdu speaking people: There are approximately 300,000 Urdu-speaking people in Bangladesh, considered as refugees from the 1947 religious riots in Eastern India. They were Muslims and sought refuge in East Pakistan, and were settled Pakistani citizenship. However, this status became disputed once East Pakistan seceded to become Bangladesh. They are casually referred to as Biharis because most of them are from the Indian state of Bihar; a formal term is “Stranded Pakistani”.
The Chakmas: The Chakmas are the biggest tribe of Bangladesh. The Chakmas are of mixed derivation but replicate more Bengali influence than any other tribe. The Chakmas commonly lived in the highland valleys. a good number Chakmas are Buddhists, but some practice Hinduism or animism. The Chakmas ( Chakma or ), also known as the Changma, are a population that inhabits the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and the North-East India. The Chakmas are the prime ethnic group in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, making up more than half the tribal population. Chakmas are separated into 46 clans or Gozas. A tribal cluster called Tangchangya is also considered to be a branch of the Chakma people. Both tribes speak the same language, have the same customs and culture, and profess the same religion, Theravada Buddhism
The Marmas (or Maghs): The Marmas are of Burmese (Myanmar) lineage. The Marmas regarded Burma (Myanmar) as the core of their cultural life. Members of the Marma tribe dislike the more broadly used term Maghs, which had come to mean pirates. The Marmas also live in the highland valleys. Although several religions, including Islam, are represented among the Marmas, almost all of the Marmas are Buddhists.
The Tipperas (or Tipras): The Tipperas are almost all Hindus and account for virtually the entire Hindu population of the Chittagong Hills. They had migrated gradually from the northern Chittagong Hills. The northern Tipperas were inclined by Bengali culture.
The Mros (Mrus or Moorangs): The Mros are considered the original population of the Chittagong Hills. They lived on valleys and often fortified their villages. They had no written language of their own, but some could read the Burmese and Bangla scripts. Most of them claimed to be Buddhists, but their religious practices were largely animistic.
Other Tribes: There are also several tribal groups in other parts of the country. Santals are residents of Rajshahi and Dinajpur. Khasis, Garos, and Khajons in Mymensingh and Sylhet regions.
Different tribal groups differed in their social association, marriage customs, foods, birth and death and other social customs and norms from the inhabitants of the rest of the country. They have somehow managed to resist centuries of migration and in the process have retained their own customs, traditions and life.
The Sundarbans is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world. The Sunderbans is a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering parts of India and Bangladesh.
The Sundarbans National Park is a National Park, Tiger Reserve, and a Biosphere Reserve located in the Sundarbans delta in the Indian state of West Bengal. Sundarbans South, East and West are three protected forests in Bangladesh. This region is densely covered by mangrove forests, and is one of the largest reserves for the Bengal tiger.
The name Sundarban can be literally translated as “beautiful forest” in the Bengali language (Shundor, “beautiful” and bon, “forest”). The name may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers. Alternatively, it has been proposed that the name is a corruption of SamudrabanChandra-bandhe (name of a primitive tribe). However, the generally accepted view is the one associated withSundari trees
The Sundarban forest lies in the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal formed by the super confluence of the Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers across southern Bangladesh. The seasonally flooded Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests lie inland from the mangrove forests on the coastal fringe. The forest covers 10,000 km2. of which about 6,000 are in Bangladesh. It became inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1997. The Sundarbans is estimated to be about 4,110 km², of which about 1,700 km² is occupied by waterbodies in the forms of river, canals and creeks of width varying from a few meters to several kilometers.
The Sundarbans Mangroves ecoregion on the coast forms the seaward fringe of the delta and is the world’s largest mangrove ecosystem, with 20,400 square kilometers (7,900 sq mi) of area covered. The dominant mangrove species Heritiera fomes is locally known as sundri or sundari. Mangrove forests are not home to a great variety of plants. They have a thick canopy, and the undergrowth is mostly seedlings of the mangrove trees. Besides the sundari, other species that make up the forest include Avicennia spp.Xylocarpus mekongensisXylocarpus granatumSonneratia apetalaBruguiera gymnorrhizaCereops decandra,Aegiceras corniculatumRhizophora mucronata, and Nypa fruticans palms
A total 245 genera and 334 plant species were recorded by David Prain in 1903. While most of the mangroves in other parts of the world are characterized by members of the Rhizophoraceae, Avicenneaceae or Laganculariaceae, the mangroves of Bangladesh are dominated by the Sterculiaceae and Euphorbiaceae. Dominant flora includes:
The Sundarbans flora is characterized by the abundance of sundari, gewa, goran  and keora all of which occur occur prominently throughout the area. The characteristic tree of the forest is the sundari, from which the name of the forest had probably been derived. It yields a hard wood, used for building houses and making boats, furniture and other things. New forest accretions are often conspicuously dominated by keora and tidal forests. It is an indicator species for newly accreted mudbanks and is an important species for wildlife, especially spotted deer. There is abundance of dhundul or passur  and kankra though distribution is discontinuous. Among palms, Poresia coaractata and Myriostachya wightiana, and among grasses spear grass), khagra and golpata are well distributed.
The varieties of the forests that exist in Sunderbans include mangrove scrub, littoral forest, saltwater mixed forest, brackish water mixed forest and swamp forest. Besides the forest, there are extensive areas of brackish water and freshwater marshes, intertidal mudflats, sandflats, sand dunes with typical dune vegetation, open grassland on sandy soils and raised areas supporting a variety of terrestrial shrubs and trees.
The Sundarbans provides a unique ecosystem and a rich wildlife habitat. According to the 2011 tiger census, the Sundarbans have about 270 tigers. Although previous rough estimates had suggested much higher figures close to 300, the 2011 census provided the first ever scientific estimate of tigers from the area. Tiger attacks are frequent in the Sundarbans. Between 100 and 250 people are killed per year.
There is much more wildlife here than just the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger. Most importantly, mangroves are a transition from the marine to freshwater and terrestrial systems, and provide critical habitat for numerous species of small fish, crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans that adapt to feed and shelter, and reproduce among the tangled mass of roots, known as pneumatophores, which grow upward from the anaerobic mud to get the supply of oxygen. Fishing Cats, Macaques, wild boars, Common Grey Mongooses, Foxes, Jungle Cats, Flying Foxes, Pangolins, and spotted deer are also found in abundance in the Sundarbans.
The endangered species that live within the Sundarbans and extinct species that used to be include the Royal Bengal Tigers, Estuarine Crocodile, Northern river terrapins (Batagur baska), Olive Ridley Turtles, Gangetic dolphin, Ground Turtles, Hawks Bill Turtles and King Crabs (Horse shoe). Some species such as hog deer, water buffalos, Barasingha or swamp deer ,Javan rhinoceros, single horned rhinoceros and the mugger crocodiles or marsh crocodiles started to become extinct in the Sundarbans towards the middle of the 20th century, due to extensive poaching and man hunting by the British. There are several other threatened mammal species, such as the capped langurs ,smooth-coated otters .Oriental small-clawed otters and great Bengal Civets.
The forest also has immense protective and productive functions. Constituting 51% of the total reserved forest estate of Bangladesh, it contributes about 41% of total forest revenue and accounts for about 45% of all timber and fuel wood output of the country (FAO 1995). A number of industries (e.g. newsprint mill, match factory, hardboard, boat building, furniture making) are based on the raw materials obtained from the Sundarbans ecosystem. Various non-timber forest products and plantations help generate considerable employment and income generation opportunities for at least half a million poor coastal population. It also provides natural protection to life and properties of the coastal population in the cyclone prone Bangladesh.
An immense majority (98 percent) of the people of Bangladesh is Bengalis and they speak the Bengali language. Minorities include Biharis numbering 250,000 and other tribes numbering about a million, with the Chakma being most frequent in number. About 83 percent of Bangladeshis are professing Islam as their religion. The next foremost religion is Hinduism (16 precent). Other major religions consist of Buddhism and Christianity.
 A portion of the Indo-European family of languages, Bangla (sometimes called Bengali) is the official language of Bangladesh. Bangladeshis closely categorize themselves with their national language. Bangla has a rich cultural inheritance in literature, music, and poetry, and at least two Bengali poets are well known in the West: Rabindranath Tagore, a Hindu and a Nobel laureate; and Kazi Nazrul Islam, a Muslim known as the “voice of Bengali patriotism and independence.” Bangla has been enriched by several regional dialects. The dialects of Sylhet, Chittagong, and Noakhali have been strongly noticeable by Arab-Persian influences. English, whose cultural influence seemed to have crested by the late 1980s, remained nevertheless an important language in Bangladesh.
Biharis, a group that integrated Urdu-speaking non-Bengali Muslim refugees from Bihar and other parts of northern India, numbered about 1 million in 1971 but had decreased to around 600,000 by the late 1980s. They once subjugated the upper levels of Bengali society. Many also held jobs on the railroads and in heavy industry. As such they stood to lose from Bangladesh independence and sided with Pakistan during the 1971 war. Hundreds of thousands of Biharis were repatriated to Pakistan after the war.
Bangladesh’s tribal population consists of about 1 million people, just fewer than 1 percent of the total population. They live primarily in the Chittagong Hills and in the regions of Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. The majority of the tribal population (778,425) lives in rural settings, where many practice shifting farming. Most tribal people are of SinoTibetan tumble and have idiosyncratic Mongoloid facial appearance. They differ in their social organization, marriage customs, birth and death rites, food, and other social customs from the people of the rest of the country. They speak Tibeto-Burman languages. In the mid-1980s, the percentage allocation of tribal population by religion was Hindu 24, Buddhist 44, Christian 13, and others 19.
The four largest tribes are the Chakmas, Marmas (or Maghs), Tipperas (or Tipras), and Mros (or Moorangs). The tribes lean to intermingle and could be eminent from one another more by differences in their dialect, dress, and customs than by tribal consistency. Only the Chakmas and Marmas display formal tribal organization, although all groups contain different clans. By far the largest tribe, the Chakmas are of mixed origin but reflect more Bengali influence than any other tribe. Unlike the other tribes, the Chakmas and Marmas generally live in the highland valleys. Most Chakmas are Buddhists, but some adept Hinduism or animism. Bangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. Most Bangladeshi Muslims are Sunnis, but there is a small Shia population. Among religious festivals of Muslims Eidul Fitr, Eidul Azha, Eiday Miladunnabi, Muharram etc. are high-flying. The controversy that Bengali Muslims are all descended from lower-caste Hindus who were converted to Islam is incorrect; a substantial proportion are descendants of the Muslims who reached the subcontinent from elsewhere.
The Bangladesh National Museum formerly established on 20 March 1913, although under another name, and formally inaugurated on 7 August 1913, was accorded the status of the national museum of Bangladesh on 17 November 1983. It is positioned Shahbag, Dhaka. The museum is well structured and displays have been housed in several departments like department of ethnography and decorative art, department of history and classical art, department of natural history, and department of contemporary and world civilization. The museum also has a maintenance laboratory.
The Liberation War Museum is a museum in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, and the capital of Bangladesh that commemorates the Bangladesh Liberation War, which led to the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan. A museum opened on 22 March 1996, and has more than 10,000 artifacts and exhibits on display in the museum or stored in its records. A major section records the events of the Language Movement for the gratitude of the Bengali language in Pakistan, which is regarded as the beginning of the movement for Bangladesh’s independence. Several galleries highlight the building sectional disagreement between West Pakistan and Bangladesh, the rise of Bengali nationalist leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the events of 1971, when the deferment by Pakistan’s military ruler Gen. Yahya Khan of the convening of the National Assembly of Pakistan, in which Sheikh Mujib’s Awami League had won a majority, led to the call for the independence of Bangladesh. The coverage of the liberation war includes the training and operations of the Mukti Bahini, the guerrilla army built by the Awami League to oppose Pakistani forces. Several galleries focus on the genocide carried out by the Pakistani army against the Bengali population, with Operation Searchlight targeting Bengali intellectuals, students, Hindus and Awami League leaders, and the compassionate crisis created with the pouring of an estimated ten million refugees into neighboring India.
Osmany Museum is a museum in Sylhet, Bangladesh. The ancestors’ home of Bangabir General M A G Osmany, the Commander-in-Chief of Bangladesh Forces has been altered in to today’s famous “Osmany Museum”. This will surely act as a stimulus to the future generations. The foundation stone was laid on 16 February 1985 and it was inaugurated on 4 March 1987 by the then president of Bangladesh H M Ershad.
Zainul Abedin Sangrahashala is an art museum in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Established in 1975, it contains the collections of the artist Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin. The art gallery was established in Mymensingh as this is where the artist used up his early days. Abedin, a pioneer of the country’s modern art movement, created works of art on subject matters such as the Bengal famine of 1943 and the peoples’ independence. The museum is located in the area of Shaheeb Quarter Park on the bank of the Old Bramaputra River.
Varendra Museum is a museum, research center and popular visitor fascination located at the heart of Rajshahi town and maintained by Rajshahi University in Bangladesh. Varendra Museum was the first museum to be established in erstwhile East Bengal in 1910. The museum started out as the collection for Varendra Anushandhan Samiti or Varendra Investigation Society and got its current name in 1919. The Rajahs of Rajshahi and Natore, notably Prince Sharat Kumar Ray, donated their personal collections to Varendra Museum. Varendra refers to an ancient janapada roughly corresponding to modern northern Bangladesh. Excavation at Sompur Bihara was started by the society along with Calcutta University in 1923. In 1964, the museum became a part of Rajshahi University.
The Fish Museum & Biodiversity Center, also known as FMBC, is located in Mymensingh, Bangladesh in a space provided by Bangladesh Agricultural University. The Center, whose goal is to encourage sustainable fishing, has been developed in partnership with Stirling University.
