Bangladesh (help·info) (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ [ˈbaŋlad̪eʃ] Bangladesh), officially the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bengali: গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশ Gônoprojatontri Bangladesh) is a country in South Asia. It is bordered by India on all sides except for a small border with Burma (Myanmar) to the far southeast and by the Bay of Bengal to the south. Together with the Indian state of West Bengal, it makes up the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal. The name Bangladesh means "Country of Bengal" in the official Bengali language.
The borders of present-day Bangladesh were established with the partition of Bengal and India in 1947, when the region became the eastern wing of the newly-formed Pakistan. However, it was separated from the western wing by 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) across India. Political and linguistic discrimination as well as economic neglect led to popular agitations against West Pakistan, which led to the war for independence in 1971 and the establishment of Bangladesh, with the help of India. However, the new state had to endure famines, natural disasters and widespread poverty, as well as political turmoil and military coups. The restoration of democracy in 1991 has been followed by relative stability and economic progress.
Bangladesh is the seventh most populous country in the world and is among the most densely populated countries in the world with a high poverty rate. However, per-capita (inflation-adjusted) GDP has more than doubled since 1975, and the poverty rate has fallen by 20% since the early 1990s. The country is listed among the "Next Eleven" economies. Dhaka and other urban centers have been the driving force behind this growth[4].
Geographically, the country straddles the fertile Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta and is subject to annual monsoon floods and cyclones. The government is a parliamentary democracy; however, political rule was suspended under emergency law for two years from 11 January 2007 to 17 December 2008[5]. Bangladesh is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, SAARC, BIMSTEC, the OIC, and the D-8. As the World Bank notes in its July 2005 Country Brief, the country has made significant progress in human development in the areas of literacy, gender parity in schooling and reduction of population growth.[6] However, Bangladesh continues to face a number of major challenges, including widespread political and bureaucratic corruption, and economic competition relative to the world.
How to Integrate a Firewood Rack into Your Privacy Fence
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately EasyThings You’ll Need:
- Two 8 foot pressure-treated 4 by 4's
- Four 10 foot 2 by 4's
- Four 31 inch 2 by 4's
- Gravel or small stones
- Nails
- Basic woodworking tools
- Post hole digger
Choose an 8 foot section of your privacy fence that has two adjacent 4 by 4 posts exposed on your side of the fence. Dig two post holes that are opposite each of these posts, so that these new posts will be 12 inches from the existing fence posts. The holes should be dug about 18 inches deep.
Step2
Put each of the two posts in the holes, measure and then remove and cut them so that they will end up the same height as the existing fence posts. Replace the posts in the holes and pour loose gravel or small stones into the holes around the posts. While using a level, tamp down the gravel or stones around the posts until they are set firmly.
Step3
2 by 4 Placement
Nail 31 inch pieces of 2 by 4 braces across the outside ends of the new posts and the existing fence posts. These should be placed about 8 inches above the ground and then again 25 inches above the former. Finally, cut to length four 2 by 4's that will form the cross bars that the firewood will sit on. Nail these onto the existing fence posts and on the inside of the new posts, at the same heights as the braces. See photo.
Step4
Covered Firewood
You can now begin stacking your wood on the 2 by 4 rails. Logs or split firewood fits nicely without damaging the fence, and can be sorted on the two levels based on size or age. You can keep your wood dry by easily covering the wood with a tarp, using a few roofing nails through the corners of the tarp into the posts.
