22)Sheikh Hasina the right choice as fundamental guest to the Republic Day but trust the PMO to miss the obvious

India Republic Day -- F rom the record 10 Chief Attendees for the Republic Day Parade in 2018 to non-e in 2021 is as much a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the container approach to foreign policy. From a record 10 Chief Attendees for the Republic Day Parade in 2018 to non-e in 2021 is as much a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the container approach to foreign policy while his blind spots although zeroing in on an remarkable foreign dignitary. Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh would have been the perfect Republic Day Chief Guest this coming year for umpteen reasons but it obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her out there for the honour. I shudder to even speculate whether a visionary and statesman like Modi is blinded by means of her religion or girl or boy or both to pass your ex up? Instead of inviting Uk PM Boris Johnson who ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis intelligent choice this year as it is the partic...

Webinar Hosting - How To Increase Your Site Traffic

Webinar hosting is an arrangement by which organizations host webinars of varying lengths, allow people to attend those webinars using software, and then charge a fee (usually per attendee) for each individual who uses the webinar. The host will generally charge either a fixed monthly fee or a set setup fee. The setup fee is intended to cover hardware and software, plus promotion. The monthly fee allows the host to make a profit from webinars. This article looks at some of the ways that webinar hosting can be used. There are several kinds of presentations, which are used in webinar hosting. Most commonly, a presenter will give a written presentation, often on a computer screen.

The topics are predetermined, although sometimes the presenters can contribute something in their opening or closing remarks. After the introduction, the presenter will welcome at...

Border control

Image
Border control is the measures taken by a state or a bloc of states to monitor its borders and regulate the movement of people, animals, and goods across the border.

History

Image
States and rulers have always regarded the ability to determine who enters or remains in their territories as a key test of their sovereignty, but prior to World War I, border controls were only sporadically implemented. In medieval Europe, for example, the boundaries between rival countries and centres of power were largely symbolic or consisted of amorphous borderlands, ‘marches’ and ‘debatable lands’ of indeterminate or contested status and the real ‘borders’ consisted of the fortified walls that surrounded towns and cities, where the authorities could exclude undesirable or incompatible people at the gates, from vagrants, beggars and the ‘wandering poor’, to ‘masterless women’, lepers, Romani or Jews. The concept of a travel document such as a passport needed to clear border controls in the modern sense has been traced back to the reign of Henry V of England, as a means of helping his subjects prove who they were in foreign lands. The earliest reference to these documents is found ...

Aspects

There are multiple aspects of border control. Quarantine edit Quarantine policies exist to control the spread of disease. When applied as a component of border control, such policies focus primarily on mitigating the entry of infected individuals, plants, or animals into a country. Customs edit Each country has its own laws and regulations for the import and export of goods into and out of a country, which its customs authority enforces. The import or export of some goods may be restricted or forbidden, in which case customs controls enforce such policies. Customs enforcement at borders can also entail collecting excise tax and preventing the smuggling of dangerous or illegal goods. A customs duty is a tariff or tax on the importation (usually) or exportation (unusually) of goods. In many countries, border controls for arriving passengers at many international airports and some road crossings are separated into red and green channels in order to prioritise customs enforcement. Within t...

Specific requirements

Image
The degree of strictness of border controls varies across countries and borders. In some countries, controls may be targeted at the traveller's religion, ethnicity, nationality, or other countries that have been visited. Others may need to be certain the traveller has paid the appropriate fees for their visas and has future travel planned out of the country. Yet others may concentrate on the contents of the traveler's baggage, and imported goods to ensure nothing is being carried that might bring a biosecurity risk into the country. Border vistas edit A border vista or boundary vista is a defined cleared space between two areas of foliage located at an international border intended to provide a clear demarcation line between the two areas. Border vistas are most commonly found along undefended international boundary lines, where border security is not as much of a necessity and a built barrier is undesired, and are a treaty requirement for certain borders. An example of a borde...
