“Judgment Day” in Which Day the World End..!!!


Saturday, May 21,  is “Judgment Day” in which day the world will end…!!!. According to the information dispersed by Harold Camping, president of Christian Family Radio, a 89years old religious broadcaster based in California.

His supporters have posted About 2,200 billboards around the United States about the coming apocalypse have been posted by his Supporters. Also dozens of followers have driven across the country to spread the news.

Harold Camping, a civil engineer who once ran his own construction business, plans to spend May 21 with his wife in Alameda, in northern California, and watch the doomsday unfold.

The date of the world's demise was calculated using facts from the Bible and a bit of math, According to Genesis as well as the Family Radio's website.
 

The math equation is: 4990 + 2011 – 1 = 7000, or in other words, 2011 is 7,000 years after Noah's flood in 4990 B.C.E. (The 1 is subtracted, according to the leader's website, because there was no year zero.)

According to Genesis, when the Great Flood, God told Noah that he would destroy the earth in seven days. Peter said: 'I know that one day for me is like a thousand years.'


The Fans of  Harold Camping say May 21 is the day because the flood waters also began on the 17th day of the 2nd month, in the year 4990 B.C.E. and May 21, 2011 is the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Biblical calendar of the day.

In past, Camping , who made an end-of-the-world prediction, predicted the world would end on May 21, 1994, which he now calls a miscalculation.

Camping has predicted a global earthquake will take place on Saturday, which will mark the earth's demise, according to several news sources.

You think that how it is false? But you can easily find that it is false?
What is Money Bags year?
Money Bags year is that year which has 5 Fridays 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays and happens once in every 823years. It is also imagine that, Copy this to your status and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese Philosophy of Feng Shui. Those who read and do not copy will be without money.
Prove it is false?
On this year that is in July'2011 has 5 Fridays 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. So According to Money Bags year 2011 is a money bags year.

It is prove that Money Bags year is a false theory...............

Do you belive Osama Bin Laden has died.........................???

Osama Bin Laden
Laden was armed free when killed: US
Osama bin Laden was armed free when he was shot dead by US special forces, the White House said, as Pakistan faced further pressure on Wednesday to explain how the world's most-wanted man was able to shelter so long in a town near its capital.
Osama Death Face
US believes it can now destroy of al Qaeda............
The United States will aim to destroy al Qaeda's central organisation now that its leader Osama bin Laden has been killed and its capabilities degraded by US operations, a top White House adviser said on Tuesday.
Particular of the bin Laden raid........
White House press secretary Jay Carney provided the following official narrative on Tuesday of the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan:

01. A small team of U.S. commandos assaulted a compound in the town of Abbottabad near the capital Islamabad on Monday with orders to capture or kill bin Laden.
 
Osama Death Face
02. U.S. military personnel flew in on two helicopters, one of which suffered mechanical problems and was later destroyed. The team methodically cleared the compound, moving from room to room in an operation lasting nearly 40 minutes. They were engaged in a firefight throughout the operation. Bin Laden was killed when he "resisted."

Osama Death House
03. In addition to the bin Laden family, two other families lived in the compound — one family on the first floor of the bin Laden building and one family in a second building. One team began the operation on the first floor of the bin Laden house and worked their way to the third floor. A second team cleared the separate building.

04. On the first floor of bin Laden's building, two al Qaeda couriers were killed along with a woman who was shot in cross-fire. Bin Laden and his family were found on the second and third floor of the building.

05. In the room with bin Laden, a woman — bin Laden's wife — rushed a US commando and was shot in the leg but not killed. Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was unarmed.

06. A third helicopter flew in to replace the destroyed one, and the team departed via the helicopters to the USS Carl Vinson in the North Arabian Sea.

07. Aboard the USS Carl Vinson, Islamic rites were observed in disposing of the al Qaeda leader's body.

His body was washed, wrapped in a white sheet and placed in a weighted bag. A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker. The bag was then placed on a flat board that was tipped up, and bin Laden's body was eased into the sea.

MJL Keeps Two Offers for Listing.............

The SEC could not decide on the listing of MJL Bangladesh Ltd yesterday, as the listing conditions are yet to be settled.

The SEC, Dhaka Stock Exchange, Chittagong Stock Exchange and MJL discussed the listing issue yesterday in a meeting, chaired by SEC Chairman Ziaul Haque Khondker. MJL put forward two offers in an effort to list on the bourses. 

An SEC official said, "The offers are cash dividends to primary shareholders and compensation to investors if the share prices go below the offer price within the first six months of trading."

In its next move, the company might offer more than 100 percent cash dividends and 15 percent to 20 percent compensation to the shareholders, the SEC official added. Azam J Chowdhury, managing director of MJL said that “After approval from the board meeting we will submit a letter to the SEC,” 
 “We are very optimistic about the listing,” he added.

Lankabangla Securities in its daily market analysis said that, “Dhaka stocks started on a positive note adding more than 100 points but turned bearish as the session progressed. Investors are yet to be confident as many recommendations of probe report are still pending.”

Of the total 252 issues traded on the DSE floor, 181 declined, 68 advanced and three remained unchanged. Turnover on the DSE stood at Tk 666 crore, up Tk 159.31 crore from the previous day.

Listing MI Cement with Condition............................

The Securities and Exchange Commission will ask the two bourses today to end the stalemate over the listing of MI Cement Factory Ltd for “greater interests of investors”.

The SEC discussed the listing plan with both bourses and set the company a condition of compensations from the directors' accounts, at a meeting presided over by SEC Chairman Ziaul Haque Khondker.


MI Cement will have to deposit Tk 5 crore in security funds to compensate the investors if the share prices go below the offer price within the first six months of trade. Also, the company will have to set aside a fourth of total shares from the directors' portion for the bourses. If the compensation amount crosses Tk 5 crore, the exchanges could go for selling those shares.

An SEC official said the market would get some liquidity when the company gets listed, he added.
Mukter H Talukder, general manager of MI Cement, told reporters that the company would meet all conditions set by the commission for listing.
 
Chairman of MI Cement Mohammad Jahangir Alam said, "SEC, DSE and CSE accepted our proposal." 


MI Cement has already raised Tk 335.05 crore from the capital market under the book-building method by floating 3 crore ordinary shares with Tk 10 in face value per share and at an indicative price of Tk 111.6.

Data submitted by the company to the DSE shows earnings per share of MI are Tk 93.87 and net asset value is Tk 37.01 per share as on June 2009.

Earlier, the SEC asked the company to buy back shares, if its share prices slip below the offer price within the first six months of trading, and asked the bourses to take proper actions as per the listing rules.

But the listing committee of bourses opposed the move on a condition of buy-back, saying huge complexities would arise if the company is listed.

A stalemate was created over the listing of MJL that used the book building method for its IPO after the stockmarket regulator suspended the method in January following a government instruction.

A volley of criticisms came from economists, market experts, analysts and stakeholders over the misuse of the mechanism.

MJL Bangladesh is yet to take any decision of compensation from the directors' account to be listed in the bourses.

MJL offered 30 percent bonus shares to the shareholders but the listing committee opposed it because before listing in the market a company cannot issue bonus shares.

38th Birthday of Sachin Tendulkar.............

Sachin Tenduk
We wish Happy Birthday to Sachin Tendulkar................On his 38th Birthday

Indian cricketer widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. He is the leading run-scorer and century maker in Test and one-day international cricket. He is the only male player to score a double century in the history of ODI cricket. In 2002, just 12 years into his career, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day-international (ODI) batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards. In September 2007, the Australian leg spinner Shane Warne rated Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played with or against. Tendulkar was an integral part of the 2011 Cricket World Cup winning Indian team at the later part of his career, his first such win in six World Cup appearances with India.

Tendulkar is the first and the only player in Test Cricket history to score fifty centuries, and the first to score fifty centuries in all international cricket combined; he now has 99 centuries in international cricket. On 17 October 2008, when he surpassed Brian Lara's record for the most runs scored in Test cricket, he also became the first batsman to score 12,000, 13,000 and 14,000 runs in that form of the game, having also been the third batsman and first Indian to pass 11,000 runs in Test cricket. He was also the first player to score 10,000 runs in one-day internationals, and also the first player to cross every subsequent 1000-run mark that has been crossed in ODI cricket history and 200 runs in a one-day international match. In the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Tendulkar surpassed Australia's Allan Border to become the player to cross the 50-run mark the most number of times in Test cricket history, and also the second ever player to score 11 Test centuries against Australia, tying with Sir Jack Hobbs of England more than 70 years previously. Tendulkar passed 30,000 runs in international cricket on 20 November 2009. He also holds the world record for playing highest number of Test and ODI matches.Tendulkar has been honoured with the Padma Vibhushan award, India's second highest civilian award, and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting honor. Tendulkar became the first sportsperson and the first personality without an aviation background to be awarded the honorary rank of Group Captain by the Indian Air Force. He has received honorary doctorates from Mysore University and Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. He won the 2010 Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for cricketer of the year at the ICC awards.

Autograph of Sachin
Tendulkar was born in Bombay (now Mumbai). His mother Rajni worked in the insurance industry and his father Ramesh Tendulkar, a Marathi novelist, named Tendulkar after his favourite music director, Sachin Dev Burman. Tendulkar's elder brother Ajit encouraged him to play cricket. Tendulkar has two other siblings: a brother Nitin, and sister Savita.


On 11 December 1988, aged just 15 years and 232 days, Tendulkar scored 100 not out in his debut first-class match for Bombay against Gujarat, making him the youngest Indian to score a century on first-class debut.

Raj Singh Dungarpur is credited for the selection of Tendulkar for the 1989 Indian tour of Pakistan. Tendulkar played his first Test match against Pakistan in Karachi in 1989 aged just 16. He made just 15 runs, being bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match, but was noted for how he handled numerous blows to his body at the hands of the Pakistani pace attack.

Tendulkar's two tenures as captain of the Indian cricket team were not very successful. When Tendulkar took over as captain in 1996, it was with huge hopes and expectations. However, by 1997 the team was performing poorly. Azharuddin was credited with saying  "He won't win! It's not in the small one's destiny!".

From February to April, Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka hosted the 2011 World Cup. Amassing 482 runs at an average of 53.55 including two centuries, Tendulkar was India's lead run-scorer for the tournament; only Tillakaratne Dilshan of Sri Lanka scored more runs in the 2011 tournament. India defeated Sri Lanka in the final. Shortly after the victory, Tendulkar commented that "Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. ... I couldn't control my tears of joy.
