The 'Met' is to New York what the Louvre is to Paris. It's an astonishing museum in it's scale and size- the best museum by far in the New World. The collection of European art encompasses all ages from the Romans to Rnoir, with works by all the masters on view. The Met's reach, though, is global: Egypt,Africa, the middle East and Oceania are all repreaented and there is an extensive collection of American art.

Watching the game seemed a total waste of time after the first half. Although Germany scored 4-0. I, as a supporter of Germany. The manner in which the German team won that match has made me feel that they are the ones who will this edition of the World Cup.
Most football pundits were predicting that there would be a tough competition for the cup between as teams like Argentina and Brazil. However, in retrospection, it looks like the predictions were made a little too early. by now, its clear that one of the European teems would take the cup home. And I wouldn't be surprised if that team is Germany.

Boosting exports and curbing imports is the best way to lower the alarming deficit in the country's Balance of Payment. This is a general classroom theory in economics but very difficult to translate in practice. Yes, the government has many means to check imports -it can raise custom duties, choke credit flow to sectors that are overheated and bring policies to substitute imports through domestic production, at least in the agriculture sector-but the million dollar question is: How can it boost exports at a time when basic requirements for industrialization such as infranstructure, power and security is at its weakest?
Even Nepal's traditional exportable products like woolen carpets and readymade garments, to name a few , are battling hard to survive. Not that there were no attempts from the government to revive the export sector. Export duties were lowered and arrangements were made for low-interest financing but the outcome has continued to remain pessimistic simply because most of the efforts were launched haphazardly without identifying the main reason behind decline in exports.The continuously declining contribution of the manufacturing sector to the country's total output itself is a testimony of our failed industrial policy. Against this background, the recommendations put forward by Trade Intergration Strategy study, which was made public last week,is welcome in the sense that it has at least identified commodities and services with export potential. It is agood start but there are lots of others issues that need to be solved before we can expect to see a robust boost in our export figures.

All humans are created equal. however people a;; over the world discriminate against persons with disability (PWD). Nobody has taken seriously the hardships that Nepal's nearly 3 million PWDs have to go through everybody.
In Nepal, most of the PWDs are from disadvantage and marginalized groups. The discrimination starts from the family because many families think having a PWD member is a burden and as such they opt to send the disabled child to an orphanage or a disability care center, rather than provide the disabled child with good education. Why do the parents in Nepal think this way? One of the reasons for this is that our society and physical infranstructures are not disabled-friendly.
People tend to focus on disability more than the ability of PWDs which makes them doubly discriminated. For example, the constituent assembly has only two PWD members.
This is new Nepal and everything is changing, but PWDs situation has not changed at all. Therefore, it is about time PWDs asked all stakeholders why they are not taking the situation seriously. To end the discrimination against PWDs goverment should strictly implement anti-discrimination laws.
