Md Ashrafuzzaman, a local police official, told Xinhua that "bodies of four children and four women were recovered this morning," adding that some 40 others
people were missing in the incident.
He could not tell exactly when the boat capsized but guessed that it may capsize sometime early Monday.
The official said Border Guard, Navy and Coast Guard have rushed there to recover the bodies which were floating in the Bay of Bengal near Shah Porir
Island in Teknaf sub-district of the Cox's Bazaar district, some 292 km
southeast of Dhaka.
"We have come to know that some 40 Rohingyas still remained missing after the boat packed with some 70 Rohingyas capsized in the bay of Bengal," Islam said.
Quoting several survivors he said some 20 passengers of the sunken boat managed to swim ashore after it capsized.
Last week, at least 28 bodies were recovered after a boat with Rohingyas on board capsized at the mouth of the Naf river that divides Myanmar and
Bangladesh.
Bodies of 132 Rohingyas and a Bangladeshi boat man were recovered from the Naf River in at least 25 boat incidents since Aug. 29.
Over half a million Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar's Rakhine state amid a fresh wave of violence in the region since Aug. 25.
Skateboarding is one heck of a craze, especially for the young ones. A recent study estimated that over twelve million people all over the world is involved
in skateboarding, and more than one-third of all skateboarders are 18 years old
or younger.
Skateboarding is technically defined as an activity wherein one interacts with a skateboard. A skateboard is a platform with wheels which
was originally conceptualized during the 1950s where skateboarding became a
pastime for surfers when the waves in the seas were too low.
During those days, surfers disassembled roller skates and took the wheels and attached
them into wooden planks. This idea evolved from the use of what they called the
crate scooters, which was basically a transportation and a pastime equipment
made from a wooden crate that is attached to some kind of handle bars.
In the 1960s, skateboarding started to become a craze. Manufacturers sold millions
of skateboards which literally resembled surfboards. They marketed skateboards
back then as an alternative to surfing. In the 1970s, skateboarding took a more
serious turn as the materials for the skateboards were upgraded from wood to
more durable and flexible materials. Today, the skateboard is far better than
ever before, as millions of dollars flow into researching the best materials and
designs to be used in producing them.
Skateboarding is such an enjoyable and a challenging activity at the same time. Some people use skateboards as a
means of transportation. It is a relatively practical way of getting around town
because skateboards are so cheap and small as compared to bikes and scooters.
One can buy a skateboard at a ridiculously low price, even a kid can buy one
from his allowance savings.
Some people see skateboarding as a serious sport which entails lots of skills and talent. Several international
competitions such as the X Games provide venues wherein the best skateboarders
in the world can show their stuff. Skateboarding can be easy, but when it comes
to executing tricks and stunts, it? a whole different world all together. One
needs the proper training and experience to be able to pull some tricks
off.
If we look deeper into the world of skateboarding, it is definitely more than just a pastime or a sport, there is a culture that seemingly comes
along skateboarding. Back in the olden days, skateboarding was primarily
associated with the ?ebel?culture. Skateboarders were often given the image of
being dregs and rebels. However, as time passes by, skateboarding has been
considered as a serious activity rather than a manifestation of rebellious
angst.
Learning how to skateboard is usually done in the streets. Most of the successful skateboarders that we have today began their careers spending
countless hours of practice on the streets. It? not that they want to get good
at skateboarding, it? just they enjoy being doing their thing.
If you, or someone whom you know is interested in skateboarding, there? really nothing
wrong with trying it out. However, there are some serous precautions that need
to be taken before engaging in the activity. Having the right protection such as
helmets, elbow and knee pads are a must when skateboarding. They may look a
little bit bulky, but they will prevent one from having serious injuries in
skateboarding. The dangers of the activity are real and should not be taken for
granted.
NEW YORK, March 20 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. dollar continued pullback against other major currencies on Friday as investors were still digesting a dovish
Federal Reserve statement.

first weekly decline in five.
The central bank removed the pledge of remain "patient" about raising interest rates in the statement released on Wednesday after its two-day policy
meeting. But the Fed Chair Janet Yellen stressed in the following news
conference that "just because we removed the word patient from the statement
doesn't mean we're going to be impatient."
The Fed also noted that the U.S. economic growth had "moderated somewhat" since January and it said that "an increase in the target range for the federal
