Nepal's Hydro-power
Energy is the scarcest commodity of modern times- both at home where load-shedding hours have been increasing. Nepal is one of the most potential hydro-power countries in the planet that, according to recent studies, is capable of generating over 100000 MW of clean and cheap energy, something in far excess of her requirements. Hundreds of rivers criss-crossing the land, mansoon-swollen,snow-fed, mountainous geography and slopping elevation power projects-mega as well as micro.
On the other hand, with rapid economic development India's power requirements have shot up, especially in her less developed north and north eastern states which fortunately lie within transmittable distance from Nepal; therefore, the demand-supply equilibrium seems perfect. Nevertheles, because of the protracted political instability and excessive politicization of the subject we have been losing the opportunity, even to Bhutan.
As water resources related joint-ventures between Nepal and India in the past proved more beneficial to the latter, mainly becaude of our poor technical and negotiation abilities during those days, now any hydro-power joint-venture deal will be more than enough to overthrow the decision maker with labels of taitor and Indian puppet; accusations of selling out to India will shower from all directiona-ultra-left and ultra-right 'nationalists' energy sector middle-men, transnational' environmentalists' INGO and NGOs, so-called civil society leaders, a section of the Press and so on.

Nepal; Comparative Advantage Discussions
Exports and imports of goods and services between nations take place according to the rules of comparative advantage (CA)-which, in other words, is the different in their manufacturing costs. The advantage may be natural or acquired in term of type and fixed or variable in terms of costs.
Recently government of Nepal made public a study report titled Nepal Trade Integration Strategy 2010 which identifies 19 products as having export potetiall (EP). The export of different products has identified 12 commodities and 7 services namely tourism, labor services, hydro-electricity, education, health, engineering and IT/BOP as having EP of the 12 commodities 7 are agro-food products.It is true that agricultural products identified in the report like big cardamom, ginger,honey,lentils,tea,dairy product,sugar and medicinal berbs have EP. Nonetheless, farm supplies are mostly too little in quantity to lure or capture reliable export markets besides being too law in value-added. As such, the whole agriculture sector needs to be restructured and its capacity enhanced with an integrated approach on raising production and productivity,promoting value addition and balancing domestic demands and exports.
'Iron and steel' has been identified on the basis of recent export surge of iron rods. But first, we cannot rely on single market as it may collapse anytime depending on the destination country's tarrif and more importantly, a commodity whose every raw material is imported and whose power requirement is very high cannot be defined as having CA, especially in a power- deficit power high cost country; and EPs without CAs do not make sense.
Accessorizing your bike
Most people rush to workshop or service stations to add accessories the moment they purchase their bike. These accessories are used for safe and comfortable riding by almost everyone owning a bike. But we need to know that even a 'carrier box' is against the rules but many a bike have such accessories. It's obvious that there are loopholes in implementing the law.
Accessories like seat cover and disc locks make bikes comfortable and keep them from getting stolen.
A disc lock is a bike having an instrument which can be installed on to a bike having a disc brake. It uses the holes in a bikes disc brake. A locking pin passes through the hole in the disc brake preventing the tires from moving. And for bikes without a disc brake, wheel locks are often used. This is a rod like instrument which passes through the front wheel.
Apart from the accessories mentioned above stickers can be considered as a common trend in the bike gadgets. People paste stickers on their bikes to make them colorful and attractive. But adding attractiveness is not the only thing a sticker will do. Pasting stickers prevents genuine parts from getting scratched in case of accidents. In most cases, the tank of the bike gets scratched quite fast and a sticker does a good job. There is also the options of a tank guard. Tank guard are covers that can be placed on top of a bikes tank. Such tank guards are mostly made up of leather but they also come in jeans and plastic material.
Along with stickers neon lights can also be installed to decorate the bike and make it attractive.

Nepal's first 'water class '
Nepal's first model 'water class ' has been set up at Yashosdhara Boudha Secondary School with a view to providing school children with knowledge of water, sanitation, and helth.
The class was set up with the support of the Government of nepal, Education Ministry, UN HABITAT and Government Protection Society so as to provide an opportunity to children to learn about water and sanitation.
There is also arrangement for a water conservation game so as to provide conservation education to the students through entertainment.
Through the water class, the atudents will be tought on natural, scientific, the students can also learn facts about water and other health issues from the library of the school. The water class has also been decorated with creative pictures and posters related to watr and other aspects of water so as much as possible knowlede on the issue.
Likewise, a bio- sand filter to water purification has also been installed at the school. A rainwater harvesting and management system and ground water recharge system has also been installed in the school.'
Chicken and egg condrum solved
British scientists claim to have solved one of the great mysterious of life, the universe and everything in it. They say the chicken come before the egg and they are not mincing words.
According to a report in the Metro, "It had long been suspected that the egg came first, but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first." Sheffield University's Colin Freeman.
Researchers from Scotland and England used a supercomputer called HECTOR to look in such detail at a chicken eggshell that they were able to determine the vital role of protein used to kickstart the egg's formation.
Freeman said the protein had been identified earlier by scientists and was known to be linked to egg formation,"but by examining it closely we have been able to see how it controls the process." he added.
Proffessor John Harding," Understanding how chickens male shells in fascinating in itself, but can also give clues towards designing new materials."
Which is good, because in spite of HECTOR's hard work and the "scientific proof" it yielded, the study offered no explanation as to how the chicken got there in the first place.
If not from an egg, perhaps it just come from across the road.
Museums

German 'Heroes'
Germany's papers could scarcely hide their glee on Sunday after their teams 4-0 rout of Argentina sent them into the World Cup semi-finals and got the whole nation dreaming of a fourth World Cup triumph.
"1954,1974,1990" ran the headline on Sunday's Tagesspiegel daily, the dates of Germany's three previous World Cup wins, the paper hoping 2010 would soon be added to the list.
"Thank you, you heroes," screamed the Bild am Sonntag on its front page, with pictures of Argentina coach Diego Maradona "sniveling" and Chancellor Angela Merkel cheering her team on from the stands.
"1-0 Mueller, 2-0 Klose, 3-0 Friendrich, 4-0 Klose. Yes, you are our heroes. Yes, we'll never forget you. Yes we're in the semifinals, added the paper. Related article:'Unbelievable, incredible. You just can't put it into words. The football god is smiling on Germany. We beat Argentina 4-0, we're in the World Cup semifinal and we're playing the most beautiful football in the Whole-world.'
The Berliner Kurier told its readers: "Call your sons Jogi", refering to German coach Joachim Loew. The sweetest win of all time. How come no one has come up to us yet and shouted wake up eyes open it was all a dream.

Museum
The Gosudarstvennyj Ermita or Hermitage Museum, that vast collection of Russian and human art and artefacts, has swollen to fill six buildings, the largest and most appropriate being. Petersburgs Winter Palace, once home of the Tzars. This magnificent Baroque building and its contents fit well into the collection began in the mid 18th century by catherine the Great. Starting with an incredible collegtion of paintings, predominantly from the old and Dutch Masters, the catalogue grew to engulf the best private collections put up for sale and gold-including important pieces from classical cultures from Greece, Rome and Egypt and a huge collection of ancient gold.
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.
Football World Cup
The quarterfinal game between two football powerhouses Germany and Argentina. Argentina was totally dominated by the former as the outclassed the Latin American country 4-0. It is amazing that this win was the second biggest in this 2010 World Cup the first being Portugal's drubbing of North Korea by a 5-0 margin. is Argentina as weak as Australia against whom too Germany scored four goals? Argentina was supposed to be one of the favourites to lift the cup with high-profile coach Maradona and players like Messi,Tevez,Higuin and D. Maria but all expectations went in vain.
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.
Elusive Consecsus
Maxists believe that human actions and institutions are economically determined. Class struggle is needed to create historocal change. In the end, communism will replace capitalism and everyone will live happily ever after. It is a deterministic way of understanding political processes. Politics, however, continues to be what it was during the time of Ottovan Bismarck:The art of the possible of the two Germans, it seems the Iron Chancellor had a better grasp of ground realities than the revolutionary ideologue.
Premier Madhav Kumar Nepal is a lapsed Marxist. Even if he continues to believe in the Communist Manifesto, he has managed to keeps his faith private. In public, he presents himself as a master of realpolitic. For the umpteenth time, he said that he was ready to resign. He left his readiness undefined. Since no political theory can explain has elevation to the high office, only politics can show the way of his ouster. Political science has no prescription to deal with the trust deficit between the leading politicos of the country.
Endow with security
Although the tempo of crime is immensely escalating in the country, the government seems a silent spectator.
This is not the first time people have been shot dead in the busy area in daytime. The government doesn't seem serious in safeguarding people's lives and belonging .Government officials and other VIPs are enjoying a comfortable, secured life and they have no time to think about the commoner's safety. The law and order situation has deteriorated so much so that commoner's feel insecure all the time.
Home minister Bhim Rawal is alw
ays saying that the law and order situation has improved.However, the incident in Butwal clearly depicts the security condition in the country. It's really disgusting to know that police arrived at the spot half an hour late despite the fact that the police station was just 200 meters away.
These days the criminals are performing their misconducts with ease. They usually find preferable surrounding for their misconducts. The main reason I think is the security personal's indifference to crime. Moreover, the criminals receive political support.I urge the government to take law and order situation seriously and ensure everyone's safety.

Protect yourself popular life
The popularity of an insurance company today depends just not on its customer service but also the diverse varieties of products that it launches in the market to get more customers.Many people today take in account the quality of products while purchasing insurance products.
Realizing this fact, insurance companies are relying heavily on insurance products and this has resulted into a rigorous competition among insurance companies for producing the best insurance products in the market.
Insurance companies- established and newcomers alike-are adopting the policy of 'devising lucrative products to capture the market' to grow amid cutthroat competition in the market, said Son Bahadur Magar, manager of Life Insurance Corporation Nepal's Kamaladi branch. Magar said Jeevan Anand Life Insurance policy of LIC is doing very well in the market.
The Jeevan Anand policy is one of the most sold insurance products of LIC (Nepal) and it is through this pokicy that we have been able to attract many cpstomers, Magar said adding,"Through this product, insurer can get both the bonus as well as the insurance amount after the maturity of the policy. As the policy also has the provision of free risk coverage up to whole life even after the payment of the policy, this provides double benefit to the insurer."
Boosting Exports
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.
Disability issue
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.
Customers
Customers are buyers of the organizations products and services for institutional or personal or groups use. Customers determine the design of the marketing mix and program for every organizations.The organization changes its marketing mix and program according to the needs of the target customers.
Customers for an organization may be consumers who buy products and services for personal or family use; industrial users who buy products and services in order to produce further products and services; resellers who buy products to trade at a profit. Social institutions who buy products and services in order to provide various non-profit services and government agencies who buy product and services for regular operations.The different types of customers show different characteristics and need different marketing approaches , tools, and techniques.
Now our village has been scaled and measured
My friends wife was very sick.But he didn't have any money and went to a bank to get a loan.He didn't have the land therefore his wife passed away. Premlata Bhatta is a central member of National Village Block Land Right Forum.She tells the story of the how land certificates came too lte to her village,so she sad. Premlata and her family reside in a village which is registered as one single block,hence they do not have individual ownership.But lately the future of such villages has started to look a little brighter. Due to intense village mobilisation and national level advocacy with CA-members and politicians KIDS has managed to get land survey started in ten villages in Kapilvastu:"Our organisation Gautam Buddha requested that our land was measured and now the village is scalled and separated nicely."Mina kewat ,from Tilaurakot, Kapilvastu, explains when we visited her village fields in early spring 2009 Gautam Buddha is one of ten smaller NGOs that together constitute KIDC. .
