RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- At least 19 Brazilians were among the passengers of a boat believed to have capsized in the Caribbean sometime between November and December, local media reported on Sunday.
The boat was purportedly carrying illegal migrants attempting to reach U.S. shores, and was last known to be sailing from the Bahamas to Miami, Florida, the report said, citing Brazil's Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Since the Brazilian passengers boarded the ship on Nov. 6, their relatives have had no news from them.
Authorities from Brazil, the Bahamas and the U.S. have been in contact over the incident, the ministry said.
The U.S. Coast Guard and its Bahamian counterpart were permanently patrolling the coasts, but have yet to detect signs of a possible shipwreck, the ministry added.

DHAKA Kenny Stills Jersey , March 23 (Xinhua)-- With Bangladesh's southeastern Bandarban district offering stunning panoramic vistas of beautiful hills and luscious forests, it's no wonder that the area is one of the country's key tourist destinations attracting thousands of people, from backpackers to billionaires, each year.
An ideal place for trekking, hiking and jungle walks for the more adventurous Ryan Tannehill Jersey , Bandarban attracts tourists from all corners of the globe.
Lofty hills, dense forests, sprawling grasslands and impressive lakes greet tourists on most of Bandarban's popular routes, which lie some 316 km southeast of capital Dhaka.
It is one of the three districts that make up Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts, the others being the Rangamati and Khagrachhari districts Cameron Wake Jersey , which nature has embellished with its majestically green ornaments.
The district, which can be found eight hours away from Dhaka by bus, paves the way for tourists to see the rich flora and fauna, picturesque bamboo cottages of tribal families and their unique lifestyle.
Tourists can see and buy products made by the tribal people who live scattered over the hills in Bandarban. There are about 14 different tribes like Mogh, Murong Chakma Reshad Jones Jersey , Khumi, Tipra, Bawm, Tanchongya and Khyang.
Meem Ahmed, a homemaker Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , along with her husband and kids visited Bandarban recently from Dhaka.
"I've come here to enjoy the natural beauty of Bandarban. I feel amazing. I'm a house wife. I have come here with my husband and kids and we have already visited a number of naturally beautiful sites. I feel great."
For college student Nafisa Hossain Bandarban, the Bandarban visit has created huge excitement.
"It's a huge experiment for me. The environment is very nice here and it's nice I can stay here for so long. I will tell everyone to visit this area. At least I can say that anyone choosing to visit here will not regret the time they spend."
Some of the visitors who talked to Xinhua, however, mentioned the necessity of protecting the environment and ecosystems of the naturally enriched Bandarban tourist sites.
Minhas, going by his first name Kalen Ballage Jersey , said he is a software engineer. This place (Bandarban) lacks enough precautionary measures which are needed to maintain such a naturally beautiful place as a popular tourist spot.
"Once upon a time in these regions, people could see leopards and tigers, but today they don't exist here because we have already damaged the environment."
Echoing a similar view, lecturer Bandana Nandi said it is not only Bangladesh's treasure but rather a global treasure.
"We must protect Bandarban's natural beauty forever,"he said.

If you want to complete the tasks you are supposed to safely and within a proper timeframe, you have to focus on the tools you can use to get the job done. These are important if you want to get the proper results you are interested in.
If you want to pierce a concrete wall, you will need a rotary hammer as well as high quality drills to get the job done. If you had a small drill tool, you would not be able to perforate more than 1 or 2 cm. With the right equipment you will spend less time on this and you will go all the way through. The same can be said about a camion cesta.
If you must work at a reasonable height, the first option would be the ladder. This will get you to the desired height Jason Sanders Jersey , but it will not offer complete stability and the range of tasks you can perform would also be limited. A furg贸n cesta is a much better option for this since you will have a small floor for your feet and it will also offer safety in the air.
Even though the basket as well as the hydraulic arm are the ones that will help you get the job done easier, faster and safer, you have to know if a camion cesta is better than the van or the other way around. If you want to make a good choice from the start, you will need to focus on the pros and cons of each vehicle before you make up your mind.
For instance, the furg贸n cesta is going to help you raise people to a certain height so they can perform the tasks they are supposed to. Apart from this Jerome Baker Jersey , you will have quite a bit of storage space in the back and you will be able to use it for the tools and the other equipment you will need in the process. You will be able to divide the space as you see fit.
