The pictures of Evaly that have inspired customers to order



Suddenly, Evaly took the entire e-commerce sector by storm. When to start selling products at 150% cashback, again at 90% discount. Again, products of all brands.

Many people in the country started ordering after stumbling on so many discounts. Many of the merchants started offering goods in Avail in the hope of selling more.

Customers and merchants say that Evali ordered various ministers, investing in RAB movies, sponsorship of Bangladesh games, involvement of Tahsan-Mithila and Shabnam Faria, positive news in advertisements in various newspapers regularly, besides getting various awards from Evaly.


It is learned that in the cyclone offer, the order was given to deliver the goods in 45 days, but after 80-90 days, the goods were coming. On the other hand, even if they did not pay the sellers properly, they were doing it in one month and in another month.





Now many people are in a lot of trouble with the order. Many customers on the way to losing everything and becoming destitute. Many merchants have lost millions of rupees. There is a possibility of not getting the money back.

In such a situation, the court has constituted a five-member board to manage Evaly. This board will audit the overall affairs of Evali and if it understands that it is possible to run the company, it will run it or shut it down.

Physical Activity In Corona Virus


The COVID-19 pandemic means that many of us are staying at home and sitting down more than we usually do. It’s hard for a lot of us to do the sort of exercise we normally do. It’s even harder for people who don’t usually do a lot of physical exercises.

But at a time like this, it’s very important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible. WHO’s Be Active campaign aims to help you do just that - and to have some fun at the same time.

Remember - Just taking a short break from sitting, by doing 3-4 minutes of light intensity physical movement, such as walking or stretching, will help ease your muscles and improve blood circulation and muscle activity.

Regular physical activity benefits both the body and mind. It can reduce high blood pressure, help manage weight, and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers - all conditions that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19.

It also improves bone and muscle strength and increases balance, flexibility, and fitness. For older people, activities that improve balance help to prevent falls and injuries.

Regular physical activity can help give our days a routine and be a way to stay in contact with family and friends. It’s also good for our mental health - reducing the risk of depression, cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia - and improve overall feelings

How much physical activity is recommended for your age group?
WHO has recommendations on the amount of physical activity people of all ages should do to benefit their health and wellbeing.

Infants under 1 year of age

• All infants should be physically active several times a day.

• For those not yet mobile, this includes at least 30 minutes in prone position (tummy time), as floor-based play, spread throughout the day while awake.

Children under 5 years of age

• All young children should spend at least 180 minutes a day in a variety of types of physical activities at any intensity

• 3-4-year-old children should spend at least 60 minutes of this time in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity

Children and adolescents aged 5-17 years

• All children and adolescents should do at least 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity

• This should include activities that strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 days per week

• Doing more than 60 minutes of physical activity daily will provide additional health benefits

Adults aged over 18 years

• All adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity throughout the week.

• For additional health benefits, adults should increase their moderate-intensity physical activity to 300 minutes per week, or equivalent.

• For developing and maintaining musculoskeletal health, muscle-strengthening activities involving major muscle groups should be done on 2 or more days a week

• In addition, older adults with poor mobility should do physical activity to enhance balance and prevent falls on 3 or more days per week.

India says lost one plane in Pakistan combat, pilot missing





India said on Wednesday it lost a combat jet and the pilot was missing while it foiled an attack by Pakistan military planes over the disputed region of Kashmir.

Pakistan said earlier it had shot down two Indian warplanes and had carried out air strikes inside India in retaliation for India raiding a suspected militant camp in Pakistan a day earlier.

An Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Indian planes engaged with the Pakistan aircraft and brought one of them down.

"In this engagement, we have unfortunately lost one MiG 21. The pilot is missing in action. Pakistan has claimed that he is in their custody. We are ascertaining the facts," Raveesh Kumar told reporters.

Pakistan has not said anything about losing any of its planes.

What Does Trump Putting Iran 'On Notice' Really Mean?






The White House traded barbs with Tehran on Tuesday over the Trump administration's "putting Iran on notice" – a phrase first uttered by National Security Adviser Michael Flynn last week and which administration officials have repeatedly labeled as self-explanatory despite broad confusion among those who work on Iran policy.

To some, the move in the wake of an Iranian missile test clears the way for U. S. plans to strike at Iran itself, rather than continuing President Barack Obama's tactics of containing Tehran by undermining its foreign interests. To others, it's a way to brand as different what has so far been a strategy that continues on the last administration's Iran legacy.

Either way, it has caught Tehran's attention. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei thanked President Donald Trump on Tuesday for showing the world "the true face" of America and called on Iranians to defiantly demonstrate on Friday, the anniversary of the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution. White House spokesman Sean Spicer fired back in a press conference later in the day, saying Iran needs to realize "there's a new president in town" and that Trump "is not going to sit by" while Iran flouts "its violations or its apparent violations" of international agreements restricting its nuclear ambitions.

James Stavridis, a retired Navy admiral who served as NATO's supreme allied commander for Europe, interprets the phrase as the administration's stating it will act at a time and place of its choosing.

"In that sense, it's the opposite of a red line. It says, 'We're watching you carefully, we're very displeased with what we're seeing, we're not going to be predictable and we will, if necessary, take action, '" Stavridis says. "That's how I interpret it, but I think the administration owes us a clearer explanation. "

Whether intended or not, the vagueness of Trump's declaration to Iran provides the White House with the rhetorical cover were it to order a harsher military response to Iranian aggression – a preemptive, "We warned you. " And if the last few years serves as any precedent, such an encounter would most likely come in response to what has become a pattern of provocation from the navy of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

"The Obama administration was incredibly restrained in response to the IRGC navy. I could easily imagine that the Trump administration would relax the rules of engagement and give local ship commanders more authority to use lethal force, " says Gary Samore, Obama's former coordinator for arms control and weapons of mass destruction, now with Harvard University's Belfer Center.

Officials in Washington have expressed deep concern over frequent and belligerent encounters between IRGC ships and U. S. Navy vessels in the Persian Gulf and off the coast of Yemen, where proxy war wages between U. S. and Saudi-backed fighters and the Iranian-sponsored Houthis.

Trump and many of his campaign advisers who have assumed positions in his national security staff were among the most vocal critics of the way the Obama administration handled an incident in the first weeks of 2016 in which Iranian forces detained the crews of two small U. S. Navy riverine boats after they drifted into Iranian territorial waters. The Americans were held for 16 hours by Iranian military officials, who filmed them and used the footage for propaganda purposes. The Obama administration downplayed the incident, applauding the communication channels it forged through the nuclear agreement for allowing a peaceful conclusion.

Trump, however, said in September that under his presidency any Iranian ships that conduct similar activities "will be shot out of the water. " Navy officers who have trained for these kinds of scenarios, speaking on the condition of anonymity, say standard rules of engagement are unclear when an enemy force does not pose an immediate lethal threat. For commanders, the top priority for politically charged situations like these after establishing nobody will be harmed is to avoid escalation.

A defense official familiar with U. S. Navy operations in the middle East says as of this week the rules of engagement have not changed.

Trump has, however, wielded new, if incremental, economic weapons against Iran in the form of more sanctions, which the White House says were prepared by the Obama administration. These represent the first step in what will likely be a series of escalator moves "up the spectrum of violence, " says Stavridis, now dean of Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, citing the broad swath of concerns the U. S. has with Tehran's activities in the region.

The sanctions, an initial salvo against Iran, centered on its ballistic missile program as well as its support for terrorist groups throughout the Middle East, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, and the deployment of its zealous Quds Force to conflicts against the Islamic State group.

But the most grievous concerns posed by this White House center on Iran's potential for violating the agreement it signed with the Obama administration to rein in its nuclear ambitions.

Confusion over putting Iran "on notice" began with an unusual statement made by Flynn, the retired three-star general and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, who during a regular White House press briefing on Wednesday took the podium for less than two minutes to catalog Iran's malign activities and repeat criticism of the Obama administration's entreaties to Tehran.

"Instead of being thankful to the united states for these agreements, Iran is now feeling emboldened. As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice, " Flynn said, before abruptly leaving the room.

When asked about the statement the following day, spokesman Sean Spicer said Flynn was "really clear. "

"We will have further updates for you on those additional actions, but clearly we wanted to make sure that Iran understood that they are on notice, this is not going un-responded to, " Spicer said.

It's also possible the Trump administration plans to strike back against Iranian operations in the middle East, perhaps in Yemen, where Houthi rebels backed by Tehran continue to fight against forces loyal to the internationally recognized government. The U. S. has provided limited support in the form of intelligence and air-refueling capabilities to the Saudi military fighting on behalf of Yemen's government, though that support has diminished in recent months over concerns about Saudi human rights abuses in its bombing campaign.

Last week, the U. S. deployed the USS Cole to the waters off Yemen's shores, following a suicide attack on a Saudi ship that some analysts speculated may have been intended for an American vessel. Navy officials say the Cole was deployed because it happened to be the nearest vessel, though the choice has raised concerns that the ship, which was attacked in an al-Qaida suicide mission in 2000 while it was refueling at Yemen's Aden harbor, could become a symbolic target.

"It's pretty risky for the Cole because the rebels in Yemen have access to ship-killing coastal missiles and used them against our Emirati allies, " says Christopher Swift, a former official in the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control who now teaches national security studies at Georgetown University. "And we have really bad intelligence on Yemen right now as to the emplacement of those missile batteries. "


If the administration believes the latest round of sanctions puts Iran on notice, that would only serve as a marginal and incremental change to Obama's strategy against Iran, Swift says. Deploying the Cole could be a marked shift.

"Quite honestly, that's the thing that has me a little more worried right now, " he says.

The president himself has subsequently employed the phrase "on notice" as a term of art, adding in a subsequent tweet that Iran is now "formally PUT ON NOTICE" for its ballistic missile test at the end of January. Tehran "should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U. S. made with them! " the president added, citing the agreement the Obama administration secured to rein in Iran's nuclear program, which Trump has repeatedly pledged to repeal.

Speaking on Saturday during an official trip to Japan, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who as a Marine general overseeing Middle East wars routinely aired his concerns about Iranian activity, explained that the phrase will "make certain that Iran recognizes that what it is doing is getting the attention of a lot of people, and we have responsibility, along with the rest of the nations that want to maintain stability, to be absolutely clear with Iran in this regard. "

Iranian officials say they do not believe the missile launches violate any U. N. Security Council resolutions because the tests do not involve nuclear warheads. And they are incensed by Flynn and Trump's stated intentions to crack down militarily on Iran.

"We will not take permission from any country or international organization to develop our conventional defense power and we will confront any foreign interference in the defense affairs, including the Islamic Republic of Iran's missile power, " Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said on Monday according to its state news service Fars.

Gen. Hossein Dehqan, Iran's defense minister, said "we don't allow any foreign party to interfere in our defense affairs. "

Fars published a separate op-ed confirming Trump's assertion that Iran has "total disregard" for the U. S. because, according to the news service, "the U. S. has historically earned it. " It advised the Trump administration to "begin to redeem itself. ".

President Trump takes aim at Seattle federal judge, tweets defense of travel


President Donald Trump kicked off his weekend on Twitter by responding to a federal judge’s temporary restraining order on his controversial travel ban.

Seattle Judge James Robart on Friday temporarily stopped the president’s order barring those from seven Muslim-Majority countries from entering the united states, prohibiting federal employees from enforcing the order.

Trump expressed his dismay Saturday morning on his preferred venue of communication.

“When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &security - big trouble! ” he wrote around 8 a.m.

The Republican continued: “Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in its death & destruction. ”

In the final tweet of his early morning Twitter session, Trump took aim at the Washington judge, appointed by former President George W. Bush.

“The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country is ridiculous and will be overturned! ” he concluded.

Trump’s tweets emphasize a White House Statement, similarly promising to overturn Robart’s ruling.

“At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this outrageous order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate, ” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement obtained by CNN. “The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people. ”.

Trump suspends US refugee programme, suspends entry from 7 countries




President Donald Trump on Friday put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the united states and temporarily barred visitors from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries, saying the moves would help protect Americans from terrorist attacks.


The order limiting entry on visitors from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries is for 90 days. The six other countries are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, the White House said.

"I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. Don't want them here, " Trump said earlier on Friday at the Pentagon.

"We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people, " he said.

Civil rights groups condemned the measures as discriminatory and said they would stand refugees in dangerous places and would tarnish the reputation of the united states as a land welcoming of immigrants.



The details of the order - which had been rumored for days - were not available until Friday evening, leaving people affected scrambling to figure out what it meant.

The impact was immediate, causing "chaos" for Arab-Americans who had family members already en route for a visit, said Abed A Ayoub, legal and policy director for the American-Arab.Anti-Discrimination Committee.

Ayoub said the order could affect traveling green card holders, students, people coming to the united states for medical care and others.

The order is already affecting refugees and their families, said Jen Smyers of the Church World Service, a Protestant faith-based group that works with migrants.

Smyers said she spoke to an Iraqi mother whose twin daughters remain in Iraq due to processing delays. "Those two 18-year-old daughters won’t be able to join their mother in us, " she said.

Syrian refugees

Trump had promised the measures - called "extreme vetting" - during last year's election campaign, saying they would prevent militants from entering the united states from abroad.

The rise of Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, which fuelled a flood of migrants into Europe, combined with a series of attacks in France and Belgium heightened concerns in the united states about taking in refugees from Syria.

An Internally displaced refugee girl from al-Bab town waits to receive food aid in Ekhtreen town, northern Aleppo countryside, Syria, Jan 21, 2017. Reuters An Internally displaced refugee girl from al-Bab town waits to receive food aid in Ekhtreen town, northern Aleppo countryside, Syria, Jan 21, 2017. Reuters Trump's order suspends the Syrian refugee program until further notice, and will eventually give priority to minority religious groups fleeing persecution. Trump said in an interview with a Christian news outlet the exception would help Syrian Christians fleeing the civil war there.
Stephen Legomsky, a former chief counsel at US Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Obama administration, said prioritizing Christians could be unconstitutional.

"If they are thinking about an exception for Christians, in almost any other legal context discriminating in favor of one religion and against another religion could violate the constitution, " he said.

But Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law, said Trump’s action would likely be constitutional because the president and Congress are allowed considerable deference when it comes to asylum decisions.

"It’s a completely plausible prioritization, to the extent this group is actually being persecuted, " Spiro said.

Trump's order had been expected to include a directive about setting up "safe zones" for Syrian refugees inside the country, but no such language was included.

"President Trump has cloaked what is a discriminatory ban against nationals of Muslim countries under the banner of national security, " said Greg Chen of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

The White House’s decision last month United nations Security Council resolution



In less than a year, the Republican Party—whose presidential candidates I have supported since 2004—has transformed itself into an ugly, snarling, bigoted faction beyond recognition. By nominating Donald Trump for president and working toward his successful election, the party’s leaders and voters made themselves complicit in not only the greatest Russian espionage operation since the Rosenbergs pilfered nuclear secrets but the egotistical psychodrama of an authoritarian race-baiting man-child. In retrospect, the signs that the Republican Party might one day be hijacked by such a dangerous figure were clear, John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate—and the GOP base’s enthusiastic embrace of her resentful stupidity—offering the prime example. I spoke early and often, in this space and elsewhere, about the threat Trump posed to the republic and the free world, but to no avail.

Now that Trump and his enablers have effectively taken over the GOP, it is the Democratic Party’s future that’s at stake. Democrats must understand that being in opposition doesn’t mean that their responsibility is simply to fight the administration without paying attention to the condition of their own party. That, indeed, was the mistake Republicans made throughout the Obama years by giving free reign to the most irresponsible and reactionary voices, which is how they, and we, ended up with Trump.


Jewish Democrats, in particular, have a job to do in their party, just as #NeverTrump Republicans had a job to do in theirs. For the danger to American Jewish voters is now manifesting itself in both parties—and Jewish Democrats need to face up to that fact right now, or else there won’t be a party in this country that refuses a prominent place to bigots. If Jewish Democrats think their party will be a welcoming place for them, (never mind electable at the national level), with a former associate of the Nation of Islam as its chairman, they’re meshuggah. That Keith Ellison is even a serious candidate for the top DNC post is part of a broader trend of hostility to the Jewish State and Jewish concerns initiated by the outgoing administration. The White House’s decision last month to abstain on a United nations Security Council resolution denying any Jewish connection to the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, followed by John Kerry’s endless speech blaming Israel for his own failures while throwing around words like “apartheid, ” were not accidents. The resolution was approved and shepherded by the White House. The occupant of the White House is Barack Obama, who will continue to live in Washington and retain a great deal of influence over Democrats. After their surprise loss, the Clintons are gone for good. They’re kaput. Those are facts.

A war is already brewing for the soul of the Democratic Party. On one side are many of its Jewish voters and donors. On the other side are hard-left activists and agitators who make a very public point of wanting those people purged. Some of these agitators, like Bernie Sanders, are not even Democrats yet strangely expect, and are offered, deference from the very party leaders and influencers whom Sanders and his acolytes want to expel in their “revolution. ” I would encourage Democrats concerned about the future of their party to read a recent New Yorker article about a podcast produced by a group of anti-capitalist Brooklyn Twitter personalities that has become quite popular among young, politically conscious millennials. Christening themselves the “Dirtbag Left, ” the hosts of Chapo Trap House epitomize last year’s “Bernie Bro” phenomenon in that they are aggressively masculine-to-the-point-of-misogynistic leftists whose politics mix the nihilistic gonzo sensibility of Hunter S. Thompson with the narcissistic machismo of Andreas Baader. Good luck with that.

It is an article of faith among this crew that Sanders would have handily defeated Trump had Democrats abjured the counsel of their perfidious “neoliberal” donor overlords and nominated a 74-year-old socialist for the presidency. This bit of retrospective insanity is driving the push for Ellison’s chairmanship of the party, and it betrays the penchant for half-baked fantasizing so common on the regressive left. If there’s one thing it ought to have learned from this most recent presidential election, it’s that a country that just elected a xenophobic demagogue over Hillary Clinton would not have preferred a radical leftist. For in the battle of left-wing versus right-wing populism, (which is what a Trump-Sanders election would have essentially boiled down to), the latter will always win. When, in history, has it not?

The emotions upon which right-wing populism draws—national identity, peoplehood, culture, tradition—are more visceral than the class-based interest aroused by the left-wing variant. All the more so in a white-majority country rapidly becoming minority-majority.

Beholden as they are to the Marxist conviction of inevitable class struggle, however, progressives persist in their claim that the reason why working class whites no longer vote for left-wing parties in the numbers they used to is because of false consciousness. What’s the matter with Kansas is that Kansans don’t vote the way What’s the matter With Kansas? author Thomas Frank and denizens of the Chapo Trap House think they should. Frank has returned with yet another hectoring screed against “neoliberalism, ” Listen Liberal, which once more faults Clintonian Third Way politics and calls upon Democrats to embrace their inner McGovernites. The solution to working-class people voting against their economic interests, Frank believes, is to pull the Democratic Party even further to the left.

It never seems to cross the mind of progressive commentators that white working-class people consciously vote against the party promising greater social spending and higher taxes on the rich because of other issues—immigration, abortion, Making America Great Again—matter more to them than their marginal tax rates or public services. But if there’s anyone who should understand the validity of voting against one’s own economic interests, it should be cosmopolitan, upper-middle-class liberal elites, the usual purveyors of these myopic screeds about the self-harming ignorance of those toiling below. After all, they regularly vote against their narrow economic interests by choosing to support a party and policies that will raise their taxes. Is what’s good for the white, upper-middle-class, leftist goose not good for the white, lower-middle-class, culturally-conservative gander?

There is no objective evidence to suggest that moving the Democratic Party further to the left will help its electoral fortunes. A recent paper published by Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government examining voting patterns for populist parties and candidates across the Western world over the past several decades shows that economic class has become a less important factor in determining party preference while cultural issues have risen in influence. A 2012 book by Harvard’s Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson, based on interviews with hundreds of Tea Party activists, argues that the driving force behind the movement was cultural resentment, not economics—a conclusion that is ever more convincing in light of Trump’s victory as a big-government race-baiter.

Responding to this phenomenon doesn’t mean that liberals need to start adopting the positions of right-wing populists. But it also doesn’t mean aping Trump’s demagoguery with a left-wing sheen, as dirtbag leftists would have it. The danger for Democrats is that they’ll go the way of Britain’s Labour Party, whose example should be a sobering one for Jewish Democrats, no matter which one of those identifiers they value most. The seizure of that once-great vehicle for working-class aspirations by Islamist-sympathizing, IRA-supporting, America-hating Trotskyists was partly procedural, in that rule changes instituted prior to the party’s 2015 leadership contest allowing anyone who paid £3 to participate opened the door to a throng of hard-left activists. They, in turn, catapulted radical backbencher Jeremy Corbyn to the top. Yet that singular focus on Labour’s internal bureaucracy obscures the failure of its leaders and members to confront a deeper, more systemic problem: the creeping advance of the party of Third-Worldist fellow travelers for militant Islam and all other sorts of illiberal anti-Western movements, a danger Nick Cohen presciently warned about a decade ago in his book What’s Left?

If you want to understand how quickly such a radical shift in a party’s ideological composition can occur, consider that, in 2009, 57 percent of Republicans expressed positive views about free trade. Today, after a year of Trump’s incessant anti-trade demagoguery, 68 percent believe it’s a bad thing. In the 2012 presidential election, the Republican nominee correctly labeled Russia our “No. 1 geopolitical foe. ” Today’s incoming Republican president wants to make Moscow our close ally, and the vast majority of Republicans appear willing to go along with this dishonorable blunder and strategic disaster.

The moral of the story is that putting their heads in the sand didn’t work for moderate members of the Labour Party or anti-authoritarian Republicans, and it won’t work for Democrats. Obama was a historic president, a witty man, and a good writer. But anyone who looks at his legacy abroad must acknowledge that it has been an unmitigated disaster. Obama’s main foreign policy—partnering with Iran’s repressive and vile theocracy—has led to the deaths of 500, 000 people in Syria and a migrant crisis threatening to destroy one of America’s greatest post-World War II achievements—the modern European project. It also, incidentally, has been terrible for Israel. None of that was defensible. It was a catastrophe, and the endless denial of that reality by the White House and its echo chambers, and by well-meaning team players, played a part in electing Donald Trump.

The latest round of White House-led grandstanding on Israel has a concrete purpose, which has nothing to do with the future of the Middle East that Obama has torched. It’s about mainstreaming the campus haters who have turned BDS into a way of boycotting Jewish students and professors on their own campuses. There may be biological Jews like George Soros and Max Blumenthal who will feel comfortable in the Democratic Party that some of its present-day leaders are attempting to engineer. But the majority of American Jews won’t. Nor, of course, will they feel comfortable in Steve Bannon’s folkish GOP. So fight for your homes while you still have them. Stop pretending that everything will be OK. Take it from me, a homeless former Jewish Republican voter: It won’t be OK.
