ডাইরিLeave a comment

To me it’s fun way to use it; but it’s effective, recently I am using QR code in my web version images, like Facebook and other social media to maintain and use it properly. I think it’s work to boost your work and protect your all web contains, as usually, but it’s need a few seconds to prepare it, anyway. When you scan the QR code through the mobile apps than you can find URL link, easy way to go through the URL links if you know more about it. In this image, I use QR code, see the left side of the image black square barcode. 

According to the several web contains I visit to know it, the Quick Response Code is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached.

Now a days QR code use wider level to use it for the various reason. Users can generate and print their own QR codes for others to scan and use by visiting one of several paid and free QR code generating sites or apps.The technology has since become one of the most-used types of two-dimensional barcode.

I am always love to like technology and user friendly. I think you try to use it to your own prints and web contents. Life is a technology, keep in touch and upgrade your technology . . .

১.শারীরিক ভাবে এবার যেন একটু বেশী অসুস্থ হয়ে পড়লাম ! নানা ঔষধ-পত্র, ডাক্তারি পরামর্শ নিয়ম-নীতি সবই হলো ! কিন্তু অসুস্থতা যেন আমার পিছু ছাড়তে চাইছে না ! শরীরের ক্ষতটা, আমাকে দিনরাত জানান দেয়; সে  আমার সঙ্গেই আছে—আমি তথৈবচ ! পৃথিবীর কিছু সুন্দরের সাথে আরো কিছু দিন কাটাতেই ইচ্ছা হয়—মৃত্যু অনিবার্য ; তাকে  অনুভব করার শক্তি দিয়ে—অর্জন করতে চাই । 

২. মধ্য রাত থেকেই থেমে থেমে বৃষ্টি হচ্ছে এখানে ! মেঘের ‘নানা’ কাউকে কিছু না বলেই চলে গেলেন—না ফেরার দেশে ! আমি তাকে যতটুকু দেখেছি—খুব সহজ একজন মানুষ ছিলেন । উত্তর কাফরুল কেন্দ্রীয় জামে মসজিদে নিয়মিত নামাজ পড়তেন— তিনি । এই মসজিদে জানাজা শেষে করে; তার ইচ্ছা অনুযায়ী, গ্রামের বাড়ী বাড্ডা, বেরাইদ কবরস্থানে তার দাফন সম্পন্ন করা হলো। 

আমি— মেঘকে মাটির একটি টুকরা হাতে দিয়ে বললাম, বাবা এই মাটির টুকরাটা তোমার নানার কবরের উপর দিয়ে দাও ! ছোট মেঘ— তার ছোট ছোট হাতে তার নানার কবরের উপর মাটির টুকরাটা রাখল ! সাত বছরের মানুষটির এই প্রথম অভিজ্ঞতা হলো—কবরস্থানের।  একটু পরে সে— আমাকে জিজ্ঞেস করে,বাবা ওরা নানা’কে মাটির উপর শুইয়ে দিলো কেন ? আমি বললাম বাবা, মানুষ মরে গেলে এভাবেই মাটির উপর শুইয়ে—করব দিতে হয় । তোমার নানা এখন— আল্লার কাছে চলে গিয়েছেন। তুমি এখন আল্লার কাছে দোয়া করবা— সে যেন শান্তিতে থাকেন ।

World’s Forth Tree Man . . .

Abul Bajandar, 25, is the fourth man in the world with the tree man illness, a rare skin disorder caused by a virus named human papillomaviruses.

According to information found in the Internet, a Romanian man was first diagnosed with the disease in March 2007. Another case was reported in Indonesia in November the same year in a 35-year-old fisherman. The last reported case also occurred in the same region of Indonesia in 2009.

“I need assistance for all my daily tasks from eating to using the toilet,” said Abul . His mother and wife now take care of him every day. “The heavy weight almost tears down my arms and the pain increases when I move my limbs.” 

“I have seen this case for the first time in Bangladesh,” said Dr Sen, noted physician and coordinator of the Burn & Plastic Surgery Unit. 
Abul, who married in 2011 and fathered a three-year-old daughter, soon lost all functions of his hand and had to give up his job as a van driver. The last time we went to India, doctors said we have to do surgery and referred us to Vellore in Madras. But we could not afford the treatment there which would take about Tk 5 lakh,” said Abul.
“We may not be able to provide him with an absolute cure, but perhaps we can at least try to make his hands functional,” said Dr Sen, after he, his team and another plastic surgeon from Chittagong examined Abul on Saturday morning.

He said he would contact other plastic surgeons of the country and set a five-member medical board on Sunday to decide about the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of Abul’s medical case, which would be completely free of cost.

According to the Dermnet, New Zealand, known as epidermodysplasia verruciformis [also called Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia] is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, which means that two abnormal EV genes, one from each parent, are needed to have the disease.
According to Amena Begum, no-one in Abul’s maternal or paternal family had ever such conditions.

Till date no cure has been found. The Indonesian fisherman whose case received worldwide attention, had gained some mobility through surgery, but the warts began to reappear afterwards. [ edited]
