Is there a nutritional difference between domestic cow’s milk and foreign cow’s milk? Which is healthier?
There is not much research on them so it is impossible to say for sure. However, different breeds of cow's milk will definitely have differences in protein or other nutrients. Besides, there are many breeds of foreign cows, right? Their eating habits are also different.

Singapore and Zurich topped the list of the world’s most expensive cities this year. It is followed by Geneva, New York and Hong Kong.
The EIU said prices of more than 200 goods and services rose by an average of 7.4 percent annually in local currency, down from last year’s record 8.1 percent rise but still significantly higher than the 2017-21 trend.
Singapore topped the list for the ninth time in 11 years due to high prices in several categories. In addition, Singapore has the highest vehicle cost in the world due to strict government controls on the number of cars in the city. The city is also the most expensive for clothing, groceries and alcohol. Spending in Zurich is high on groceries, household goods and entertainment.
Geneva and New York are joint third on the list. Hong Kong is in fifth place, Los Angeles, another American city, is in sixth place. Seventh is Paris, eighth is Copenhagen and Tel Aviv, and tenth is San Francisco. According to the EIU, the trend of commodity price increase in Asia is comparatively lower than other regions of the world.
The survey results also revealed the 12 least expensive cities in the world. In this list, the names of three Asian cities appear, but none of the cities in Bangladesh got the title of ‘cheap’.
Among the 12 least expensive cities in the world, two from India, one each from Sri Lanka and Pakistan are named in the survey. The Indian cities in this list are Ahmedabad and Chennai. The cities of Sri Lanka and Pakistan are Colombo and Karachi respectively.

Salat or prayer is the most important act of Islam after faith. Through this, the special relationship between the servant and his Lord is strengthened. Therefore, it is essential that the body, clothes and place of the worshiper are pure and holy during prayer. Purity is a prerequisite for prayer.
Almighty Allah says, “And keep my house pure and clean for those who perform Tawaf, Ruku-Sijd and those who pray standing.” (Surah: Hajj, verse: 26)
There are many evidences regarding the command to sanctify the place of prayer. Various aspects of sanctifying the place of prayer are discussed below:
The land becomes holy whether it is dry or rained on
After getting dirt on the ground and roof etc., it will become ripe after it is dried in the sun or air and the traces of dirt are removed. Narrated by Ayesha (RA), Imam Muhammad Ibnul Hanafia (RA), Imam Muhammad (RA) and others, “The sanctity of the land is its drying up.” (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba, Hadith: 624, Fathul Qadir 1/199)
Similarly, even if the traces of impurity are removed due to the purchase of impure land, the land will be considered as impurity. There is a hadith in Sharif that a Bedouin urinated in the mosque out of ignorance, so Rasulullah (s.a.w.) asked the place to be dug up. (See: Musannaf Abdur Razzaq, Hadith: 1659)
Similarly impure land will become ripe even if the traces of impurity are removed by rain. Yes, the land will not be ripe if there is any trace of impurity left at all times.
(Fatawa Qazikhan 1/23, Addurrul Mukhtar 1/311)
If the ground becomes wet due to walking on dry ground with impure shoes soaked in urine, then the land will become impure, otherwise it will not be impure. (Raddul Muhtar 6/733)
A paved floor becomes holy by wiping it with a wet cloth
If a child urinates on a paved or tiled floor, it is permissible to pray on it if the urine marks and odor are removed by wiping the area with a wet cloth. It is not necessary to wash with water. (Addurrul Mukhtar 1/311, Fatawa Mahmudiya 5/284)
After the impure floor is dried and cured, if water falls on it, it will not become impure again, but it will be treated as cured. Likewise, even if one walks on it with wet feet after azure, the feet will not become impure.
(Halbi Kabir, page 154, Albahrur Rayeq: 1/394)
Praying in a place coated with dung
If the soil is mixed with dung and the land is covered with dung, in such a situation, when the land dries and the traces and stench of the dung are removed, it will become ripe, so prayers can be offered on it. (Fatawae Hindiyya 1/62, Kasamiyyah 5/577)
Praying on a bed in an unclean place
If the bed is so thick that it cannot be seen from side to side and the effect of impurity is not visible on the bed while praying on a bed that is impure, then the prayer will be purified. And if it is too thin, due to which impurity is felt, then the prayer will not be pure. (Raddul Muhtar 2/74, Kasamiyyah 5/578)
Praying on the roof of septic tanks, dirty drains etc
Prayers on the roofs of septic tanks, unclean drains etc. will be purified. Because the roof or its surface is paved, although there is an impurity under it. Some mosques have toilets etc. on the ground floor or on one side. If there is a prayer facility on the upper floor of them, there is no problem in praying. (Raddul Muhtar 2/74)
What to do if you don’t know the cleanliness of a place
If the impurity of a place is not known, the land will be considered holy if no sign of impurity is evident. Undoubtedly no land can be called impure. Narrated by Jaber (R.A.), Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said, “The whole land has been made a place of prayer and purification for me.” So my Ummah will pray wherever there is time for prayer. (Bukhari, Hadith: 335)
Similarly, if there is no sign of impurity on new and old bed-mats etc. then namaaz can be offered on them. There is no need for undue doubt. (Azizul Fatawa, page 193)
Provision of road mud and water
A place cannot be called impure merely by suspicion. It will be treated as Pak until the impurity is confirmed. If no signs of impurity are observed in the water and mud of the streets, it will not be impure, and splashing of the said water on the body or clothes will not be impurity. However, if there is a sign, color or smell of impurity, it will be called impurity. (Raddul Muhtar 1/324)
How to purify a coarse carpet if it is impure
If any part of the carpet gets impure, only that part will be impure, not the whole carpet will be impure. So to cook, pour water on that part and leave it in such a way that the water drains completely. If you do this three times, the carpet will become twisted. Yes, if the water is poured even once in such a way that the washerman has a strong idea of the removal of that impurity, then he will be purified even by washing well once. And if there is a dark impurity such as toilet etc., it will become ripe after removing the traces and stench of that impurity. (Raddul Muhtar 1/310)
If it is impossible to identify the spot due to dripping and drying of urine in various places on the carpet, it is assumed that washing the suspected areas of the carpet will stain the entire carpet. However, if possible, it is better to wash the entire carpet and drain the water. (Raddul Muhtar 1/328, Ahsanul Fatawa 2/92)

A brutal war in Gaza, a prolonged and increasingly criminal policy could have suicidal consequences for Israel. It could even lead to the end of a strong Jewish state.
In fact, Israel’s well-planned genocide in Gaza in the name of self-defense will not make the country safe; Rather, it will create greater insecurity and instability in the region. Israel will be further cornered. The geographical region in which the country is located has always been unfavorable for the obese. This war has now created obstacles to their long-term survival.
It never occurred to me that Israel has a future in the Middle East unless it abandons colonialism and behaves like ten normal states.
For a brief period in the early 1990s, it even looked as if Israel might be trying to normalize. There was also a hint of change depending on the United States. They took an initiative to include the Palestinian and Arab states in the region in the peace process. Israel even promised to preserve the nations existence.
But every time their colonial appearance comes out. They have wasted thousands of opportunities to live peacefully with their neighbors by ending the occupation. Israeli diplomat Abba Eban once quipped, Israel never wastes an opportunity to waste an opportunity.
Instead of ending the occupation, Israel has expanded its colonial expansion project in Palestine. Jewish settlement grew steadily on land stolen from Palestine. Israel has built special bypass roads and other projects to reach these illegal settlements. They have implemented two types of systems there. Whatever is advanced is for the Jews, and whatever is underdeveloped is for the Palestinians.
One apartheid ended in South Africa, we saw the rise of another in Palestine.
Peace is lost under the shadow of colonialism. As a result Israel has become more and more fascist by the day. Even in the Law the Jews are shown as superior. This colonial rule rests on historic Palestine, stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, fanatical and extreme right-wing parties soon became powerful and took control of power. And they were replaced by Israel’s opportunistic Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. By forming a coalition government, Israel began to destroy its own institutions and completely negate the possibility of the Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace.
Having destroyed all possibilities of compromise, they have now planned to occupy the whole of Palestine. As part of this, Jewish settlements have been established by stealing Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. Their goal is to force the Palestinians to leave the land. With incredible speed, they are establishing this illegal settlement in the world’s largest open prison called the West Bank. The Israelis are now so reckless that they are no longer making the false promises they made in the past to annex the West Bank to an independent-sovereign Palestinian state.
Then came October 7. It sent a stark message that colonialism could no longer be effective or sustained. The day also conveyed the message that they cannot throw away the key by blocking two million people. The Palestinians are trying to say that the root cause of the conflict must be found now. We have to find out why their lands were taken away, why they were occupied, why they were blocked.
But Netanyahu’s government naturally turned this tragedy into war. And the inhumanity of the Palestinians began to rise. Because Palestinians are not people—this propaganda will help him continue down the path of genocide. He called this war the war against Satan. Which means – this war is not only against Hamas; Rather against the Gazans. One by one, Israeli leaders, including the president, blamed all Palestinians for the horrific attack. They claimed that there are no innocent people in Gaza.
From the beginning of the war, the Israelis therefore resorted to vindictive and extreme sectarian behavior. They continue to wreak havoc in Gaza, showing thumbs up to basic human rights, humanitarian values and international law. Hospitals, schools, mosques, residential buildings are victims of Israel’s colonialist war. They are indiscriminately killing children, doctors, teachers, journalists, men and women, old people in the presence of the United States and their other western allies.
But foreign sectarians are unlikely to survive among the indigenous people of the region. Because the tribal people are more united against the bloodthirsty intruders than at any other time. No matter how much religion Israel invokes to justify its violent racist behavior, it will no longer help. The Creator does not authorize the killing of innocent children. Israel’s US and Western patrons should also not support the killing.
As public opinion in the West gradually turns against Israel, so too will the brutal leaders of the West change course. Their moral position may not change; But countries will seek to protect their interests in the wider Middle East. The position of France in demanding an end to the killing of children in Gaza proves that the position of the West is changing.
Israel has no better options after this ugly war. This is the last chance for the country to be rescued from the brink of destruction. They should stop the war and accept the two-state solution that US President Joe Biden is talking about. However, a two-state system is now impractical. They should at least adhere to the red line that the US has set for Gaza. The United States has voted against the reoccupation or genocide of Gaza and in favor of keeping the size of Gaza unchanged. Netanyahu and his bigoted coalition have not embraced the United States for a long time. They again ignored the US proposal. Both countries are suffering from this.
Long before the start of the war in Gaza, a famous Israeli journalist, Ari Savit, said that everyone knows that Israel will fall. Because they are on a destructive path. And last week, Ami Aylan, the former head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency, warned the government that war and settlements would destroy Israel. Both have written books about it.
Every violent invader of the world has fallen, from the Crusaders of ancient times. The only colonial state of this era is Israel. The fall of Israel is also inevitable. No matter how much Palestinian, Arab and Israeli blood is spilled, this power will not last.
This war in Gaza may be the beginning of the end. But not for the Palestinians. Just as South Africa’s bloodthirsty supremacist regime collapsed, so will Israel’s. Just waiting for time.

The banana plant dies once it fruits as it is a perennial plant. Perennial plants are plants that complete a life cycle and then die. The life cycle of a banana plant is about one year. In this one year, the banana plant produces a large stem, leaves, and flowers. Bananas are made from flowers. When the banana ripens, the plant dies.
Causes of death of banana plants-
The plant uses all its nutrients to produce flowers and fruits. When the fruit ripens, the plant no longer has a source of nutrients. The banana plant has a seed at the base of its stem. When the fruit ripens, the seed falls to the ground and a new plant grows.
Banana plant seeds can grow new seedlings, but the fruit quality of these seedlings is lower than that of the original plant. So farmers usually plant small banana plants next to banana plants to create new seedlings. These young plants grow from the main plant and grow after the main plant dies.
After the banana plant dies, farmers cut down the plant and plant new seedlings.

Now a little off-topic: I mentioned the three points, most Bengalis don’t get at least two of them. So I see this kind of question in various places. If you’re asking this question when you’re 18 or older, it’s too late. Maybe then there is no other way to increase the height. But another thing can be done. Plan your diet well. Eat high protein foods as much as you can. Run occasionally, walk a few kilometers every day if you can, and buy weight training equipment. Buying it will save you gym expenses in the long term. Start training with light weights gradually. By doing these, the muscles will be well defined, the fat will be less. Although short in height, will be healthy, physically strong. Better to learn some martial art along with it.

China has significantly increased its stockpile of nuclear weapons over the past year, the US said. The country now possesses about 500 usable nuclear warheads. China’s nuclear capability has been highlighted in the annual report published by the US Department of Defense Pentagon. It is also said that China hopes to increase the number of weapons to 1000 by 2030.
The report said China’s weapons growth exceeded estimates, but it was smaller than Russia and the United States. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Russia has about 5,889 nuclear weapons. There are 5,244 in the United States. According to a 2021 estimate by the US Department of Defense, China had a stockpile of about 400 nuclear warheads.
A senior US defense official told reporters last Thursday, expressing concern about the increase in China’s weapons stockpile, “We don’t want to imply that China has a large number of weapons.” We mean, China is on track to surpass previous estimates.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping has already announced the creation of a ‘world-class military’ by 2049. Since coming to power in 2012, he has been trying to modernize the country’s armed forces.
Beijing is likely to finish building three new missile fields in 2022, U.S. officials say. There is a stockpile of at least 300 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). ICBM missiles are capable of hitting targets at a distance of 5,500 km.
According to the Pentagon report, China’s military rocket force is also looking to develop long-range missiles. Henry Boyd, a senior fellow at the Henry Boyd International Institute for Strategic Studies, said China’s rate of nuclear weapons growth does not appear to be exceptional.
However, the country is “progressing slightly faster than expected” in its goal of having 1,000 such weapons.

As per a report from Reuters in the year 2015, the notorious OneMBD scandal of the Malaysian government implicated multiple banks based in Singapore, drawing widespread attention to the city-state.
Following this scandal, a significant global spotlight fell upon an incident of money laundering, particularly due to the substantial assets seized, which included numerous houses and were believed to have ties to China.
The Reuters report also highlighted that as Singapore has evolved into an economic hub, concerns have escalated regarding its potential to become a hub for illegal financial activities.
According to the Boston Consulting Group, a consulting firm based in the United States, cross-border or foreign investments in Singapore reached $1.5 trillion the previous year. Consequently, Singapore has emerged as the third largest offshore investment center, following Switzerland and Hong Kong, where affluent individuals secure their wealth.
In an interview with Australia’s ABC news channel last August, Clancy Moore, the Chief Executive of Transparency International Australia, emphasized that despite Singapore’s reputation for upholding the rule of law, it has paradoxically become an appealing destination for money launderers to establish their operations.
He stated, “Singapore has become a sanctuary for criminals, scammers, and felons to conceal their illegitimate funds and evade justice.”
“It has turned into the headquarters for numerous regional banking institutions, benefiting from remarkably low corporate taxes, allowing individuals to establish a company with a mere click of a computer mouse.”
As an illustration, he mentioned, “We are aware that various well-organized criminal syndicates and autocratic regimes like Myanmar’s junta have utilized Singapore as a financial center to legitimize their illicit funds.”
Singapore’s Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Alvin Tan, expressed his concerns to the country’s parliament, as reported by Nikkei Asia, saying, “Singapore’s hard-earned status as a reliable and well-governed international financial and trade hub, underscored by a robust rule of law, is in jeopardy.”
He added, “Our objectives are dual-fold. One is to foster a diverse, prosperous economic center. The other is to uphold a transparent system. These two objectives will progress in parallel. We will not compromise one for the other.”
Initially estimated at one billion Singapore dollars, the assets seized in August last year have significantly appreciated, currently valued at about $2.8 billion, as revealed by Josephine Teo, Singapore’s second minister of the interior, during a parliamentary session.
These assets encompass 152 buildings, 62 vehicles valued at approximately $1.24 billion, thousands of bottles of liquor and wine, bank deposits totaling about $1.45 billion, 38 million dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency, 68 gold bars, 294 luxury bags, and more.
The Singaporean government has reported that many of the suspects acquired high-value assets such as vehicles, alcohol, or jewelry, which do not fall under the purview of Singaporean law, as they are not considered precious stones.
