Giant portrait of Bangladesh's founding leader heightens nationalistic fervour A giant 400 metre-long portrait of Bangladesh's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in a rice field is adding to the mania to honour the slain president as celebrations mark the country's independence 50 years ago. A private seed firm spent two months designing and planting purple and green rice over the 13 hectares (33 acres) of land to make the portrait of the father of current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Who runs the world? According to Merchant Maverick's inaugural Best States for "Women-Led Startups'' study, Texas is a great place for women to be in charge.
The Lone Star state cracked the top 10 on the list, earning the No. 6 spot, according to the small business reviews and financial services company, which based the study on eight key statistics about this growing segment of the economy.
Colorado (at No. 1), Washington, Virginia, Florida, and Montana were the only states to beat out Texas in the rankings - leading the Merchant Maverick team to conclude that "the part of the country that lies west of the Mississippi is great for startups led by women entrepreneurs."
