    What is meant by Direction ? Direction is the information contained in the relative position of one point with respect to another point without the distance information. Directions may be either relative to some indicated reference, or absolute . Direction is often indicated manually by an extended index finger or written as an arrow. On a vertically oriented sign representing a horizontal plane, such as a road sign, "forward" is usually indicated by an upward arrow. ASKING FOR ? DIRECTIONS How do I get to...? How can I get to...?

  • The Names of Wind -Summer 2009
    The Names of Wind ccording to the Western Abenaki of New England, the winds of their world Awere generated by a giant eagle that lived on a craggy peak and flapped its wings continuously. Various nomadic tribes of central Asia had a comparable myth. They believed that the wind originated from a vast hole in a mountain somewhere to the west. And the Inuit of Alaska thought that the winds issued forth from an opening in the sky. Here in the West, we believe that the wind is generated by the mother of all earthly things, our own star Sun. According to our legend, the sun beats down on the equatorial tropics, heating the air, which subsequently rises high into the stratosphere, creating a vacuum all along the equator. Because of the physical phenomenon known as the Coriolis effect, air from both the north and the south rushes in to fill the space, thereby creating, because of the rotation of the earth, the ever-reliable trade winds. This basic system is much complicated by landforms such as deserts and mountain ranges, which churn and blend the moving airs, creating a variety of local winds. Some of these such as the foehn are warm dry winds that flow down the lee side of the mountains. Some, such as the sirocco, are bred in deserts and drawn northward by low-pressure areas. Many of these local winds are notorious for their strength as well as their effect on the human psyche, and most of them are named, a fact that has added to the rich tapestry of languages.

    East West University Department of Economics Working Paper Series Regional Trade in a Changing World: The Case of SAFTA By Abeer Khandker Working Paper 2017-05 August 2017 Department of Economics : 09666775577 x. 209 Aftabnagar, Plot No. A-2 [email protected] Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh www.ewubd.edu/economics Regional Trade in a Changing World The Case of SAFTA Abeer Khandker Senior Lecturer: Department of Economics, East West University Dhaka, Bangladesh; email: [email protected] Abstract-There has been a surge of economic populism in recent times, leading towards more protectionist policies in UK and USA. One of the major factors behind this change in policy paradigm, from an economic perspective, is the low to negative impact of trade liberalization through regional integration and other agreements on economic welfare, as perceived by the people of the respective countries. Generally, trade gains translate into economic growth; so regional trading agreements would need to be beneficial in terms of trade gains for the respective countries in order to increase economic welfare. Through the application of the gravity model of international trade, this paper tries to find out whether the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) has been beneficial in terms of trade balance improvement in four of the biggest economies of South Asia – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The findings suggest that even after ten years of SAFTA, regional trade is low, and SAFTA has had a positive effect only on the trade balance of India. Hence, this situation needs to be improved through lowering of tariff and non-tariff barriers and increased investment in connectivity, otherwise, given the current rise in protectionism in the world, there is a probability of events such as Brexit occurring in this region.

Summer 2015 From Alterity to Allegory: Depictions of Cannibalism on Early European Maps of the New World James Walker Foreword The Philip Lee Phillips Map Society of the Library of Congress is a national support group that has been established to stimulate interest in the Geography and Map Division’s car- tographic and geographic holdings and to further develop its collections through financial dona- tions, gifts, and bequests. The Phillips Map Society publishes a journal dedicated to the study of maps and collections held in the Division known as The Occasional Papers. This install- ment focuses on images of cannibals on early European maps of the New World. I heard Dr. James Walker, the author, deliver a version of this paper while attending a conference at the Society for the History of Discoveries in Tampa, Florida in 2013. I was im- pressed with his discussion of a wide range of cartographic sources, including a number of im- portant holdings in the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress. He synthe- sized an array of cartographic works and thoughtfully commented on how the imagery on the borders of the early European maps of the New World presented a false impression of both the land and people that was believed to be true by many Europeans.
