    The Battle of Concepción was fought on October 28, 1835, between Mexican troops and Texian insurgents on the grounds of Mission Concepción (pictured in 2010), 2 miles (3.2 km) south of what is now Downtown San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. The day before, Stephen F. Austin, commander of the newly created Texian Army, had sent James Bowie, James Fannin, and 90 soldiers to find a defensible spot for the army to rest. After choosing a site near Mission Concepción, the scouting party camped for the night and sent a courier to notify Austin.

    Truth is that the reason privatization of forests is gaining steam across the world, is because there is now enough evidence to sufficiently conclude that productive deforestation is not advancing at a fast enough pace. (Brown C, Valentine J. 1992) Deforestation (defined as “the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands for either productive or non-productive use”) by staying in most government entities (with a few exceptions such as New Zealand) is actually doing more harm than good by not achieving its potential.…

    Feminism and multiculturalism is about diversity and, protecting the rights of women and the minority community in our society. It is not about division, and the direction, nor about isolation (NIMAC Report, 1999). Moreover it is about the equality of opportunities for all members of groups that participate in and benefit from economic and social lives. During this paper, I ask myself whether feminism can be genuinely multicultural. The difference between feminism and multiculturalism is the rights for minority cultures and the different concepts and conflicts which have risen. I will be discussing how the 20th century is accepting the movement for liberation of women, but is this enough to determine whether feminism is genuinely multicultural.…

    1.1- Introduction Availability of natural resources and their proper application to overall development activities is the key factor for the economic growth of any nation. Bangladesh, though it is a small country of about 143,998 sq km, has a number of mineral resources within its territory. The mineral resources so far discovered are mineral fuels (oil, gas, coal, peat), hard rock, limestone, white clay, glass sand and heavy mineral sands. It was previously assumed that the geological setting of Bangladesh was more suitable for hydrocarbon accumulation than for any other mineral deposits as the greater part of Bangladesh is covered by thick alluvium. Nowadays, the assumption has been changed as it is proved by detailed geological and geophysical explorations that Bangladesh is rich not only in hydrocarbon accumulation but that it also has huge deposits of coal and hard rock in its north-northwestern part.…

    Tropical rainforest is important for maintaining the ecological balance in Bangladesh, and forestry contributes 1.9 percent to the GDP (1999-2000). The forest covers around 17 percent of the country's territory, or 2.5 million hectares (6.18 million acres). The timber is used by the construction industry as a source of building materials, by the printing industry as a source of materials to produce paper, and in the agricultural sector as a source of firewood. Commercial logging is limited to around 6.1 million cubic feet, and the government plans to plant more trees within the next 15 years.…
