Vitamin D is a very essential element for the body. Its deficiency causes various health risks.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D keeps the immune system fresh and normal.

Vitamin D is of two types. One is vitamin D2 or ergocalciferol which is obtained from food and the other is vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol which is produced in the body through sunlight.

 


Apart from the immune system, vitamin D helps in the functioning of muscles, keeps the heart healthy and plays an important role in the formation of the brain.

Vitamin D helps reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis and depression. Our body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium and phosphorus from food.

Calcium and phosphorus are needed for strong bones. The deficiency of vitamin D leads to bone loss, loss of bone density and, above all, the risk of bone fractures. Lack of vitamin D can cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

If the amount of vitamin D is normal, the risk of developing multiple sclerosis is reduced. Various studies show that the lack of vitamin D can lead to type-2 diabetes.

In addition, if the amount of vitamin D is low, the risk of obesity increases. Low levels of vitamin D may be associated with depression.

Therefore, the use of vitamin D along with antidepressant drugs reduces the symptoms of depression.

Research shows that vitamin D prevents cancer or reduces the risk of cancer. If vitamin D is not sufficient, tooth decay and periodontal disease may occur.

Vitamin D is found in fatty fish such as salmon, beef liver, egg yolk, milk etc.

About Masud Rana Series

Masud Rana is an adult spy-thriller series penned by the famous Bangladeshi novelist Qazi Anwar Husain. Anwar Husain started writing this series from the 1960s and still continuing to date. All Masud Rana books have been published from his own publication house, Sheba Prokashoni. Qazi Anwar Husain debuted this series with the publication of Dhongsho-pahaar (1965), which is the pioneer of spy thrillers written in Bangla. Dhongsho-pahaar got an immediate audience attention and as such paved the way for creating one of the most enduring Bangladeshi versions of a world-class spy character, namely Masud Rana.

Before Anwar Hussain, none could even imagine writing a spy thriller in Bangla. Up to that point, the Bangladeshi book market was stuffed with thrillers and detective stories from the writers of West Bengal, India. However, Husain̢۪s initiative changed the whole scenario; the audience could experience suspenseful stories without resorting to imported books. The Masud Rana series even got very popular in Kolkata, which was definitely a great achievement for Bangladesh.

Hussain adopted the name for his protagonist from various sources. He took the first name from his friend, lyricist Masud Karim. On the other hand, he took the last name from Rana Pratap Singh of the Rajput clan who ruled Mewar, a state in north-western India from 1540 to 1597.

The central character, Masud Rana, a  former major of the Bangladesh Army, currently commander stationed for HUMINT at BCI (Bangladesh Counter Intelligence) HQ, Dhaka. He works under the direct command of Major General (retired) Rahat Khan of the fictitious Bangladesh Counter Intelligence (BCI).

According to the series, Rana is also founder and director of an international investigating firm named Rana Agency, which is a front cover for BCI in the form of a private investigation agency.

Masud Rana was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh to Justice Imtiaz Chowdhury and Jahanara Imtiaz Chowdhury. Rana was orphaned at the age of 13 when his parents were killed in a car accident near Chittagong, Bangladesh. After the death of his parents, Rana went to live with his aunt, Ismat ara, in Fort William, Highland. Later, he briefly attends Eton College in his college days.

In the very beginning, Anwar Husain planned to mould his novels based on original stories. However, since he had a plan to publish one book per month, he had to switch to the adaptation to save time.
Masud Rana books have been adapted from renowned thriller writers from all around the world, such as Ian Fleming, Alistair MacLean, James Hadley Chase, Clive Cussler, Frederick Forsyth, etc.

Although Qazi Anwar Husain started the series, it is widely known that he is not anymore a contributor to this. A group of ghostwriters are employed to write all the new Masud Rana novels.

Over the past few decades, Sheba Prokashoni has published a considerable number of Masud Rana books. Today we are sharing one of them, which is Durgey Auntoreen by name. Hope you will thoroughly enjoy it.

In this gardening tip, we will see how to reproduce cacti and succulent plants using stem cuttings. Don't miss out on this simple way to propagate cacti!

Knowing how to propagate succulents by cuttings is one of the most useful things you can learn. The reasons are several:

  • It is a simple and effective way to increase your collection of succulents without spending extra money.
  • Many species of succulents can be reproduced by this method.

Different ways to do it

When it comes to reproducing cacti or succulent plants, we can choose different methods. One of them is reproduction by seeds. Again, leaves can also be used to propagate new plants. These options are, however, one of the slowest processes. For this reason, reproduction by cuttings is often used.

How to propagate succulent & cacti plants using cuttings

Reproduce succulent plants using stem cuttings

To reproduce your cacti with the cuttings technique you have to learn a series of steps. Keep in mind that it is a form of asexual reproduction because the plant does not need to be fertilized to reproduce.

That is, each cutting will be a copy of the mother plant. Many succulent species can be reproduced in this way and, since you only need a mother plant, it is very easy to do. In particular, this is one of our favorite forms of propagation because it is faster than reproduction by leaf or by seed.

A cutting can fall from the plant spontaneously by the action of the wind or an animal attack. In this case, it takes root in the ground and develops a new plant. That is the natural process. The manual way is to cut a cutting from the mother three.

Propagation by cuttings is a very simple process. The first thing we must do is to cut a piece of the stem of the cactus or the succulent plant that we want to reproduce. When cutting the piece, we must make sure that it is at least 10 centimeters in length.

Now that you've learned how to make cuttings, follow these steps to learn how to propagate a succulent or cactus:

Watering the mother plant a few days before stem cutting:

In this way, the succulent will have time to hydrate and build up water reserves. Well-hydrated cuttings have more energy to root and grow into independent plants.

Disinfect the Tools before cutting the stems

You can use scissors or a utility knife to cut the cuttings, but remember to previously disinfect the material with 70% isopropyl alcohol. If you do not disinfect the tool you use for this part of the process, you can put the health of your plant at risk, both the mother plant and the new cutting. It will be more vulnerable to the appearance of diseases or pests.

Selection and Cutting

The selection of cuttings is one of the most delicate steps. It is important to take special care in choosing cuttings that look healthy, with good hydration of the leaves, with good color and good appearance in general.

Avoid, whenever possible, cuttings that have yellow, brown or black spots. These are probably the consequence of bad irrigation practice.

Do not take cuttings when the mother plant is in a dormant state. Because there is a possibility that those cuttings will remain inactive and may never form roots. During the winter season, most of the succulents go to a dormant state. Therefore, spring or summer is the best time for propagation.

Once you are done with the selection part then try to make a cut as clean as possible to avoid possible damage to the plant. Spray 70% isopropyl alcohol on the cut ends of both the mother plant and the cutting. This would help in avoiding rot.

Remove the lower leaves from the cutting

Remove the leaves from the lowest part of each stem. You should leave about an inch of peeled stem without leaves. In this way, you will leave enough space for the new roots and to avoid rotting of the leaves during the propagation process.

We always say that these leaves removed from the stem should not be discarded. Take the opportunity to reproduce them by following the steps of the reproduction of succulents by leaf or, simply, you can spread them over the mother plant's own pot and, with a bit of luck, they will multiply naturally.

Let the cuttings heal

This is another critical point in the reproduction of succulents by cuttings. It is important to be patient because your ability to wait for the cutting to heal properly depends on the success of the process.

Place the cuttings on an absorbent surface, such as coarse sand. The storage must be a bright place protected from the rain and direct sunlight. 

Wait a week for the main cut to heal, as well as the small wounds made when removing the leaves.

Plant the cuttings

After allowing the cuttings to heal for at least a week, it's time to plant! You just need to choose a suitable pot and prepare some substrate for succulents. It is important to use a substrate mixed with sand or a special substrate for succulent plants or cacti. Or you can simply use coarse sand.

Drive the cuttings into the substrate, leaving the "bare" part of the stem buried and the leaves above the surface.

If you want to accelerate the growth process, you can apply hormones, but it is not the most advisable. The best thing is that it grows naturally.

Water your cuttings

Two days after planting your cuttings you can start watering. 

You should water abundantly every time the substrate dries completely. As the days go by, the cuttings will take root and become new independent plants. When the roots are fully developed then you can transfer them to a pot. Finally, water the plant in the usual way that cacti/succulents require. The rule is simple, water the plant when at least one inch of the top soil surface feels dry to touch.

Beautiful and ornamental, succulents are great for their versatility to show off both indoors and outdoors. Grab some tips to have them look divine.

They are beautiful and varied, have colorful flowers, require little watering and have become an increasingly popular decoration element both inside homes and offices and on balconies and gardens. We tell you everything you need to know about succulent plants: care and tips to take advantage of their benefits. 


 
These little plants have the characteristics of storing water in their leaves, their roots and / or their stem, with which they can survive and stay well in conditions that other plants would not survive.

Succulent plants: care

Besides being very varied plants in terms of their shapes, colors and sizes, what makes them very popular is that they do not require much dedication. You just have to know a few secrets on how to care for succulents so they can develop to their full potential.

Basically, the care is very similar to that of cacti. But let's get to the details.

How to care for succulents indoors

While succulents can survive in harsh climates, they are very good for growth if you place them indoors. They need a lot of natural light but it is important that they receive it indirectly. For example, through a window or a room that is very naturally lit or in a gallery.

How to care for succulents in summer

If you have your plants outdoors, just take the precaution of protecting them from direct sun during the summer months. Although they have a lot of water reserves, if the sun is very strong it can dehydrate them.

How to tell if they are dehydrating? When you notice that the plant begins to change its color. If it stops being green and starts to turn reddish, it is drying out. If you notice that it begins to occur, it is time to put it in the shade, in a place where it receives a lot of natural light but indirectly. Also, check the frequency of watering, which in summer should be once a week.

Note: they are never watered in hours where the sun is at full (noon, afternoon), but you must water them very early morning or at night. This clarification is valid for all plants.

How to care for succulents in winter

Succulents don't handle cold air or frost very well. So, during the winter months, it is important to put them indoors or in an enclosed gallery. Always remember to place them where they receive a lot of natural light through a glass, door or window.

So the advice is simple: in winter, put them to dormant state. And don't forget that the watering at this time should be only once a month or even a little more spaced.

Irrigation, soil, substrate: care of succulents

We share some practical tips on caring for succulents:

Succulent plants: watering

As we told you, these little plants store a lot of water in their leaves, stems and roots. That is why the word "moderation" is key when we ask ourselves how to water succulents.

Remember that their ability to absorb water allows them to grow and survive in hostile climates or places. That is why they have a different irrigation routine than other varieties.

How often the succulents are watered

Irrigation varies by season:

  • In winter: once a month.
  • In summer: once a week.

I moistened the soil where they are planted but without flooding it or forming puddles. If you overdo the amount of water, they rot and die.

Do not wet the leaves either: irrigation should go directly to the ground. Nor should it have a container plate because they continue to absorb water from there. If you want to put a decorative plate on it, remember to empty it so that it is always dry.

For a perfect growth and balance between humidity and light, it is important that you place them in a place where they receive a lot of natural light.

Substrate for succulents

Although succulents can grow in any type of soil, if we nurture them with a suitable substrate they will grow much healthier.

In nurseries, supermarkets and online stores you can find fertile soil and the right substrates. The other option is to prepare it yourself.

There are many types of mixtures that can be prepared but we tell you the most recommended by expert gardeners:

  • Mix 1 part of soil from your garden, 1 part of sand, and 1 part of moss.
  • Another option that works well and is very easy to prepare is to mix equal parts of garden soil and sand.

Note: when we say sand we mean garden sand, which is available in nurseries, and never sand for construction. This clarification applies to all plants.

Succulent soil

Succulent soil is the soil you have in your garden. All you have to do is condition it before assembling the pot in which you are going to plant it so that it has all the necessary substrates to nourish them.

As for the soil, it must be free of roots of other plants, free of weeds and it must be of loose or loose consistency. A caked soil does not work because the important thing, when preparing the substrate with this soil, is to ensure that the pot is well drained so that the irrigation drains perfectly and does not get flooded.

Succulent pots

In addition to the correct lighting and watering, the other important issue is the choice of pots. We tell you all the options you have to choose from:

  • Clay pots are the best for planting succulents. As the material of this type of pots breathes, it makes the humidity in the substrate dry faster. You just have to make sure that the drainage hole is large or, if they are small, that it has several.
  • This does not mean that you cannot opt ​​for another type of pots since there are different materials, designs and sizes. In the case that you opt for pots in which you cannot make holes, you only have to regulate the amount of irrigation water so that the earth does not get flooded.
  • Other options are: ceramic, cement plastic and tin pots. As for the shapes, you have many options high, low, round, square, rectangular or shapes of watering cans, animals, cups etc.

Note: the pots where succulents shine the most are those in the shape of a deep plate because, due to their large circumference, you can create a crop of different types and it will look beautiful.

William Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth in 1770 and died in 1850. A long and peaceful life agitated for a time by youthful love affairs with Annette Vallon, which, for a long time (because of the Victorian modesty of her biographers) was ignored by the public. His sympathies for the nascent French Revolution were cut off by the Terror established by Robespierre, and slowly his political convictions shifted from enthusiastic radicalism to a passionate conservatism that was rudely opposed to any reform. At the same time, the pantheist returned to Christianity, to an intransigent Anglicanism that led him to contradict some noble reforms, carried out by the liberal party of his country, and to change, making it worse, the meaning of several poems.

Salient Features of Wordsworth's Poetry

Thomas de Quincey's book, "Recollections of the Lake Poets," is still useful to meet the Wordsworth man. It is a "fascinating and unsatisfactory" work, which, despite annoying digressions, shortcomings and failures quite visible, it is an important testimony about how the poets of English romanticism lived and thought. Some of his observations may be a bit bitter, but they contribute to humanizing the figure, somewhat stiff and rigid. Wordsworth is a representative, far too representative, type of bourgeois virtues, and it is not a bad thing that De Quincey discovers certain facets of the poet's mask.

He made a vigorous and lucid effort to bring to poetry the subtlest vibrations of the soul, making use of the elements provided by everyday life, transformed by the intervention of an extremely imaginative sensitivity. The familiar and simple, the trivial and usable, in Wordsworth's poems reach the brilliance magically in two camps to the fans of unusual and secret things, as if passing through the soul of the poet had been impregnated with a mysterious aroma. By publishing the Lyrical Ballads (1798), Wordsworth and Coleridge intended to change the sign under which English poetry had grown. They had forerunners, certainly, but none dared to proclaim, as Wordsworth did in the Preface to the Lyrical Ballads, that the main object proposed with these poems was to choose incidents and situations of ordinary life and to relate or describe them completely and, as far as possible, in a selection of language actually used by men, and at the same time to pour on them a certain colouring of the imagination, by which ordinary things would be presented to the mind with an unusual appearance.
The problem of language is thus the first to claim Wordsworth's interest: no "poetic diction", no conventional and artificial language, but the powerful current of the language used in conversation, in life. The rhythm itself seems only an "additional charm". These doctrines were not followed to the letter, and as JC Smith has shown in his recent little book on Wordsworth, they do not even constitute the poet's essential contribution to the theory of poetry. According to Smith, Coleridge is responsible for the distortion of Wordsworthian theory, due to the excessive emphasis he placed on the polemic over poetic diction. In that theory, says Smith, the essential thing is the conception of the origin, nature and purpose of poetry and the role of the poet within society.

Wordsworth's poetry, in its best hours, is the purest and admirable expression of the sentiment of nature. Just as Coleridge makes the wonderful and distant appear with the evidence of the real, Wordsworth infuses nature with a resplendent spirituality in which songs with surprising accents sound, songs whose resonances bring us closer to the most remote and hidden secrets of the soul. Few poems as revealing as Wordsworth's, and few poets knew how to find in the simplicity of the world the key to its mystery. In terms of suggestiveness, suggestive and emotional force, Wordsworthian intuitions surpass those of Coleridge.

Critics of Wordsworth notify of the need to separate in his work the truly poetic fragments from the abundant discursive, rambling and prosaic passages Matthew Arnold, in the preface in 1879 to an anthology of the great lyric, gave as the main cause of the slow recognition of such greatness, a mixture of great poems with non-valuable verses, and established, as the first task to be carried out, the discrimination between one and the other, eliminating the deficient texts that obstructed access to the truly admirable ones. Time has proved him right, and bit by bit (starting from the flourish compiled by Arnold) the Lake poet reached general support. His verses, long obscured by those of Scott and Byron, then by those of Tennyson - as Arnold points out - seem today, when good and really poetic, superior to those of all three. In fragments of The Prelude and various poems, he succeeds in conveying the impression of exceptional states of mind, triggered by some phenomenon of Nature, or by the beauty of Nature itself: the advance of shadows in the evening, the echoes of the mountain or of the stream, the glow of the moon on the lake, are starting points for the unleashing of an emotion whose development is transforming it and reaches areas of consciousness until then intact. If poetry is a revelation, few deserve that name better than that of Wordsworth, wherein such a way reality is transcended, without separating a point from it, by the relief and concentration of feeling. Of this poet, as of his equals of the first romantic generation in England, it may be said that he is an inventor of Nature.

Man finds in Nature a source of emotions whose intensification reveals hidden layers of his own spirit and makes more alive the primitive feeling before the enchantment of creation. Wordsworth glimpses between man and Nature a hidden relationship, but not in the sense of mystery, but in the sense of unnoticed. That is why he rejects fantasy and uses imagination as a means of discovering the content of that link between us and the universe. The superiority of the poet over others will consist mainly in the gift of intensifying his feelings; Poetry is born from emotion, but it is not raw emotion, but rather its quintessence extracted and enhanced in memory. The activity of the spirit is fundamental, since this poetry, apparently so linked to reality, is basically pure introspection; his contact with reality is not fortuitous, but deliberate; fantasy games are too trivial and limited for him when compared with the riches that the real world, exciting of the imagination, puts at the service of poetry.

Although the romantic movement consisted of several great poets, Wordsworth, still occupies the top place for his simplicity. His Preface to the Lyrical Ballads initiated the movement formally, which was later reinforced by his comrades.
