Bangladesh has introduced Internet money transfers, allowing online payment of utility bills and other financial transactions with local currency credit cards. 

The central bank on Monday also asked scheduled banks to facilitate clients with broader online banking facilities.

A Bangladesh Bank circular says from now, subscribers would be able to pay utility bills online from their bank accounts and also transfer funds to other banks.

It said that transactions between buyers and sellers can also take place online, enabling e-commerce facility in the country.

Commercial banks have been also asked to facilitate online credit card payments in local currency.

Bangladesh Bank governor Atiur Rahman told bdnews24.com the move has added a new dimension to the IT-based banking.

"It would allow a client to pay utility bills online to the service providers."

From now, people will not need to go to outlets for shopping with credit cards, he added.

The circular says that these transactions would be equivalent as cash transactions and banks will have to report to the Financial Intelligence Unit of the Anti Money-laundering Department of the central bank.

The order also asked banks to ensure that the new transaction systems is not used for money-laundering. 
 

Companies are exploiting public social networking sites for valid business purposes. However, a lack of enterprise-class controls makes management of users akin to herding cats. By adopting strong policies for business use of public social networks, small and midsize businesses can maximize value and safeguard against inappropriate connections between personal and business contacts.



External public social networking service ammado can be valuable sales, marketing, and support tools. These services comprise extensive networks of users who are self-organized into groups and communities. Users establish connections directly with other users to form a personal friends network. Users also join groups and communities that are organized around attributes such as products, lifestyles, entertainment, institutions, politics, and geographic locations. 

The key difference between social networks and more traditional online communities is the friend-of-a-friend (FOAF) trust model that exists in social networks. Users maintain direct connections to their friends, but they also have some level of access to the direct connections their friends maintain to other people. The FOAF model enables users to interact with network users to whom they are not otherwise directly connected. Users can establish different rules of engagement for different types of connections in their network; the closer the connection to a user in terms of degrees of separation.





Making Business Friends


The FOAF trust model that interconnects members of a social network enables users to define different rules for sharing information for different levels of connections. 

However, this same trust model allows such a network to be leveraged for business purposes beyond the capabilities of a traditional online community by connecting through one group of users to get to another group. Social network users also build their own extensive demographic profiles by connecting to dozens or hundreds of affinity groups, not just connecting to other users. This self-segmentation phenomenon is why social networks present marketers and advertisers with such a potentially lucrative audience for promoting goods and services. 



Thank you.

A baby boy with two heads was born by Caesarean section at a clinic in Keshobpur, 135 km from the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka.

The baby, weighed 5.5 kilograms, was named Kiron, and was moved to a larger hospital in nearby Jessore city.

Kiron was placed under police protection because hospital officials felt that the baby and his mother, 22, were at risk from the anxious crowd of 150,000 that had gathered to see him, gynaecologist Mohamad Abdul Bari said.

"He has one stomach and he is eating normally with his two mouths. He has one genital organ and a full set of limbs," Bari said.

"He was born from one embryo but there was a developmental anomaly." Bari said.

Babies born with physical abnormalities in Bangladesh and India are often hailed as living gods. An eight-limbed girl named Lakshmi born in India last October was believed by villagers to be a reincarnation of the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth.

The daily newspaper Samakal said many well-wishers had left money for the baby's family.

It is widely known, yet for a long time nobody seemed to mind. With my work I want to confront the people with the problem of child labor and motivate the people who begin to think about it — in Bangladesh where children are employed and in the rich countries of the Western world where products are sold that have been produced by children.

My intention is not only to show the children at work as victims of bad bosses exploiting them, but I want to show the complexity of the situation: The parents who send their little boy to work in a factory because they are poor; the child who has to work to earn a living for the family; the boss of the factory who is being pushed by big garment companies to produce for less money; and the Western consumers as clients who buy cheap clothes.

I think it is impossible to abolish child labor completely in Bangladesh in a very short time, but I am sure it is possible to improve the working conditions for the children and to bring more from factory work into the schools

In rural Bangladesh, eight years old is old enough to start putting food on the table. That was the first, but not last,



A six years old child  is working in workshop.
In Bangladesh it is increasing day by day.At this age they have to be in school.Because of poverty it happens.
