Padmar ilish’ (hilsa from the Padma River) during Durga Puja this year. The interim government in Bangladesh has decided not to continue its hilsa export to India, prioritising domestic demand. The Fish Importers’ Association in Kolkata had requested the Bangladesh government to allow the continuation of hilsa exports as per the usual practice.

Trump made a controversial claim about undocumented Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. Trump stated that these immigrants were eating local pets, a claim quickly debunked by officials. Trump emphasized his stance on immigration by saying, “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats.

paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia. Reports suggest that the fear of Friday the 13th results in businesses losing an estimated $900 million every time it occurs because people avoid traveling, scheduling important events, or even going to work. The roots of this fear are not entirely clear. In Western culture, the number 13 is often seen as unlucky, contrasting with the number 12, which symbolizes completeness with examples like the 12 months of the year and the 12 zodiac signs. According to HISTORY, one myth traces the fear to an early version of the Code of Hammurabi, which supposedly omitted the 13th law. However, this was later found to be an error by a translator. Biblical tradition also plays a role. There were 13 guests at the Last Supper, and Jesus was crucified the next day, which was a Friday. Charles Panati, in his book «Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things,» links the superstition to Norse mythology. In one story, Loki, the god of mischief, crashed a banquet, causing chaos and resulting in the death of Balder, the god of light.

extreme weather this summer. As pressure builds on policymakers to roll out more stimulus, data due Saturday will show growth in industrial production slipped in August for a fourth straight month, in what would be its longest deceleration in almost three years. A slower expansion in activity also extended to retail sales and investment, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. The widespread weakness would be a signal of how little traction the $17 trillion economy has generated in recovering from its worst stretch in five quarters. Heat waves — coupled with torrential rains that snarled travel and flooded farmland and mines — have added to setbacks for Beijing and its pursuit of growth around 5%, a goal most global banks now believe might be out of reach.
