सेनाको संयुक्त सन्देश

प्रधानसेनापति महारथी रुकमाङ्गद कटवाल: गौरवमय इतिहास बोकेको र जनताप्रति सदैव उत्तरदायी रहेको नेपाली सेनाको नेतृत्व वर्ग लगायत सकल दर्जा एक ढिक्का भई उच्च अनुशासनमा रही राष्ट्रको सुरक्षा र राष्ट्रियताको जगेर्ना गर्नका लागि राज्यले दिएका जिम्मेवारीहरुलाई निर्वाह गर्दै आएका छौं । विगत केही दिन यता विभिन्न संचार माध्यमहरुमा नेपाली सेनाको अनुशासन तथा वरिष्ठ अधिकृतहरु विशेषतः प्रधानसेनापति लगायत वरिष्ठतम रथीहरुकाबीचको सम्बन्धलाई लिएर आएको समाचारप्रति हाम्रो गम्भीर ध्यानाकर्षण भएकोले त्यस्तो समाचारमा कुनै सत्यता नभएको र त्यो भ्रामक र कपोलकल्पित मात्रै भएको स्पष्ट गर्न चाहन्छौं । यस सन्दर्भमा म नेपाली सेनाको प्रधान सेनापति महारथी श्री रुकमाङ्गद कटवाल, बलाध्यक्ष रथी श्री कुलबहादुर खड्का र बलाधिकृत रथी श्री छत्रमान सिंह गुरुङ्को बीचमा कुनै मनमुटाव वा द्वेष नभएको र हामीहरु आआफ्नो नियुक्तिमा प्रचलित नियम कानुन र आफ्नो चेन अफ कमान्ड अनुसार नेपाली सेनाको गैरराजनैतिक चरित्रलाई कायम राख्दै यसको संस्थागत विकास गर्न र राष्ट्रिय सेनाको राष्ट्रिय चरित्रलाई अझ व्यापक र अझ जनता केन्द्रित बनाउन सक्षम छौं र त...

Forest Fires in Nepal

On March 12, 2009, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite caught a glimpse of a relatively rare event: large–scale forest fires in the Himalaya Mountains of Nepal. Places where the sensor detected active fires are outlined in red. The numerous small fires in southern Nepal may not be wildfires, but rather agricultural or other land-management fires. The image is centered on Nepal, and it shows the towering Himalaya Mountains arcing through the small country. Many national parks and conservation areas are located along the northern border of the country, and the fires appear to be burning in or very near some of them. Five people were killed by the forest fire southwest of Annapurna in early March; according to a news report they were overtaken while in the forest gathering firewood. According to that report, Nepal commonly experiences some small forest fires each spring, which is the end of the dry season there. However, conditions during the...

Child-Robot with Biomimetic Body

Meet CB2, aka, Child-Robot with Biomimetic Body. He is watching your every facial expression, interpreting, assimilating. You touch him tenderly while you smile; he assimilates the combined expressions. He's a two-year old robot and he's doing almost everything a two-year-old child does. CB2's inventor (or should I say Dad?), professor Minoru Asada, says that now his 4'4", 73-pound robot is learning basic social skills. He says that the robot is recording emotional expressions using eye-cameras. Then CB2 memorizes and matches those expressions with physical sensations, and then he clusters them on his circuit boards. CB2 lives at a laboratory in Osaka University, and is being financed by the state: the Japan Science and Technology Agency. In his first 2 years, CB2 has learned to walk on his own, using 51 "muscles" driven by air pressure. He breathes too. The next goal for CB2 is that the robot-child will be speaking basic sentences like that of a 2-y...

Amazing Inventions for the Year 2020 by Philips

You may wonder where Philips Electronics, the company that makes reliable TVs, close-shaving razors, and innovative light bulbs, is going these days, now that it's been recognized as a fashion innovator by Time Magazine. (November 12, 2007). Experimenting with futuristic concepts, Philips is enlisting the public's involvement, an innovative strategy designed to beat the invention failure rate. Quoting statistics from a 2005 article in Business Week that "up to 96% of all new projects fail to meet the targets for return on investment," Philips questions the linear business structure that identifies and moves an innovation through a pipeline. Should an innovation be pressed through an internal pipeline or allowed to simmer, be sampled, added to, matured into something that is really perceived as a need by society. To find out, Philips is offering its innovations to "society" for feedback and discussion. Philips has identified "Design Probes" to spur ...

क्रान्तिकारी वै-स्याल

क्रान्तिकारी भने पनि वाइ स्याल मेरो नाम । कालो मोसो, चन्दा, लुट्पाट, हिम्सा मेरो काम ।। सिबिरमा खेल्यो, बस्यो, खायो, काम केही छैन । जिन्दगी मा कस्ले पाउँछ ???? एस्तो सुख, चैन ।। शिक्षाक लाई कालो मोसो, हत्यारा लाई तक्मा । यही नै हो नयाँ नेपाल हाम्रो बिचारमा ।। जस्ले गर्छ हाम्रो बिरोध, खान्छ तातो गोली । सरकारले नि ठीक छ, ठीक छ भन्छ आज भोली ।। हाम्रा नेता कस्ता बाठा, कुरा मार्ने, मर्ने । देस नै आफ्नै हातमा छ अब भुत्रो कब्जा गर्ने ???? चन्दा बाट पैसा आउँछ, सरकार ले नि दिन्छ । २-४ बर्ष पछी त काठमाडौंमा घर नै किनिन्छ ।। क्रान्तिकारी कुरा गर्न आझै छोड्या छैन । बोलदैमा के जान्छ र ???? गर्नु पर्ने होइन ।। नेता जती बिदेस भर्मण, जाँड, रक्सीमा मस्त । आजलाई एती नै भो बिदा माग्छु हवस त ।। Raj From www.mysansar.com

कटवालसित माओवादीको दुश्मनी

अहिले झ्याम्म दिन्छु अनिः कटवाललाई यस्तै रिस उठिरहेको होला अकस्मात् पूरै देश सेनामय हुन पुगेको छ। सोमबार सरकारले प्रधानसेनापतिलाई स्पष्टीकरण दिन पत्र काटेदेखि गएको यो भूँइचालो मंगलबार दिनभर कायम रह्यो। आखिर सेनामा माओवादीले गर्न खोजेको चाहिँ के रहेछ ? तपाईँलाई थाहा छ ? थाहा छैन भने आउनुस् थाहा पाउनुस् के रहेछ भित्री कुरा। पहिलो कुरा, माओवादीले प्रधानसेनापति रुक्माङ्गत कटवाललाई हटाउन चाहेकै हुन्। कटवालले राजीनामा दिए सजिलो हुन्थ्यो भन्ने उसले चाहेको थियो। त्यसो गरे राजदूत वा राम्रो पद पुरस्कार दिने भनी माओवादीले लोभ्याएका पनि थिए। तर कटवाल मानेनन्। त्यसपछि माओवादीले कानुन बमोजिम उनलाई बर्खास्त गर्न सोमबार २४ घण्टे स्पष्टीकरण पत्र ठमाएको हो। अब यहाँ प्रश्न उठ्छ, कटवालसित त माओवादीको पुरानै दुश्मनी थियो। अहिले नै किन कटवाललाई हटाउन मरिहत्ते गरेका त माओवादीले ?

यसरी थर्काएछन् भारतीय राजदूतले प्रमलाई

सोमबार प्रधानसेनापतिलाई स्पष्टीकरणका लागि पत्र पठाएदेखि छिमेकी देश भारतका राजदूत राकेश सूद पनि बेचैन छन्। सूद यसै पनि कडा मिजासका व्यक्ति हुन्। एक पटक लैनचौरको भारतीय राजदूतावास भवनभित्र एक गार्डले उनको कार्यकक्षमा सजाउनका लागि भित्तामा झुण्ड्याइएको मूर्ति सफा गर्न खोज्दा खसेर दुई टुक्रा भएछ। त्यसपछि त अहोहो, सूद यस्तो पड्के नि। दूतावासका कर्मचारीहरु सब थर्कमान। ‘भोलि बिहानसम्म मलाई यो जस्ताको तस्तै चाहिन्छ। जस्तो थियो त्यस्तै भित्तामा झुण्डिएको हुनुपर्छ’ भनेर जंगिएपछि एक हप्ता ती बिचरा गार्डलाई ज्वरो आयो रे। प्रधानसेनापतिको कुरामा पनि भारतबाट आएको निर्देशनका कारण सूदको व्यस्तता भ्याइनसक्नुको छ। सोमबार, मंगलबार दिउँसो र साँझ गरी तीन पटक भेटिसके सूदले प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई। मंगलबार दिउँसो भेटपछि ‘ज्वरो आएर’ मन्त्रिपरिषद्‍को बैठक स्थगित भएको थियो। स्थगित भएपछि फेरि सूद बालुवाटार छिरेका थिए। बालुवाटार सूत्रबाट प्राप्त जानकारी अनुसार हरेक भेटमा सूदले प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई थर्काउने गरेका छन्।

News papers merge

The publishers of two new newspaper groups decided on Wednesday to merge even before they were to begin publication next month. Binod Gyawali, the publisher of Nagarik and Hari Shrestha, the publisher of Dainikee decided to pool their resources and bring out only Nagarik, the Nepali daily. Gyawali had earlier split off from Kantipur, taking away many of its top journalists. But he split again and had decided to go it alone. Insiders said the reason was a contracting media market and the need to challenge the combined circulation lead of Kantipur and Annapurna Post. Nagarik's English sister paper is Republica and Nagarik's sister paper is Newsfront. It is not yet clear what will happen to the English publications Yubaraj Ghimire, has been designated 'Group Editor' while Narayan Wagle will be editor of Nagarik. Republica's editor Prateek Pradhan says, "With a vision for long-term sustainence and development of journalism, we have taken this step."

Top 10 programming languages of the future - you voted!

TOP PROGRMAMING LANGUAGES FOR 2013 Here’s the list after 2 weeks of voting and an influx of opinions from Californian startup types (thank you, yCombinator). Python is the biggest mover. 1. HTML/CSS 7.6 2. Javascript 7.3 3. Ajax 7.2 4. Python 6.9 5. Java 6.7 6. C# 6.7 7. Ruby 6.2 8. .Net 6.0 9. C++ 5.4 10. C 5.1 10 = extremely relevant 1 = irrelevant Trevor’s note: Even though Ajax and CSS/HTML are markup tools, not programming languages, I couldn’t put a list like this together without them, and I couldn’t come up with an umbrella term for everything. Future technologies? Yuck. If you wanted to get really picky you could point out that transact-sql is merely a language extension. So is PL/SQL. Javascript might even warrant an argument. Please don’t get that picky, however. One Red Canary reader asked for Haskell to be added, but it didn’t make the top 10.

Anti Cancer

Research On Use of Gold in Anticancer Treatments It is not widely known but radiactive gold was used in the treatment of cancer many years ago (see here for more details).Now a number of research groups around the world are using the unique properties of gold to develop new anticancer treatments. Gold is used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Using small gains of gold (about the size of a grain of rice), doctors can accurately identify the position of the patient’s prostate during treatment. The improved accuracy allows for a more precise radiation dose and a more targeted area for the treatment of the tumour. Gold is the material of choice for the positioning grains because it is dense and opaque to X-rays. In terms of drugs used for treating cancer, the use of platinum, in the form of the drug Cisplatin, is well documented. Now a new generation of technologies, potentially without the harsh side effects caused by chemotherapy drugs like Cisplatin, are under development. In the las...

Amazing facts about gold

The most expensive gold coin in the world One of the world's rarest and most sought after collector coins, the 1933 Double Eagle, was sold at Sotheby's auction house in New York in 2002, for the record sum of $7.59 million. The coin led an eventful life, escaping a big gold meltdown in the US, falling into the hands of an Egyptian King and then being discovered by undercover secret service agents in New York! Elvis’s golden car The specific model is a Stutz, about 20 of which are made a year, and the King had three! In the cars, everything normally in chrome – such as the steering wheel, pedal surrounds, ashtray and cigarette lighter – is in gold instead. Gold hand basin This washbasin and its gold taps are on sale for an undisclosed price in a New York shop specialising in deluxe bathrooms.

Amazing Rock in Saudi Arabia - Believe It Or Not!

A huge rock in a village of Al-Hassa region, SAUDI ARABIA raises 11 cms from the ground level once in a year during the month of April and stays elevated for about 30 minutes!!! They say that 17 years ago, one Mujahid was shot dead behind this rock as he was hidden there. This encounter happened in the month of April 1989. You can see the fresh blood stains on the rock. Most surprisingly, when the rock raises from the ground, these stains become darker, fresher and wet. Local residents tried to wipe off the stains several times, but after some time it appears again on the rock automatically... Isn't it astounding? Have a look....

Can 'biochar' save the planet?

Biochar's high carbon content and porous nature can help soil retain water, nutrients, protect soil microbes. ATHENS, Georgia (CNN) -- Over the railroad tracks, near Agriculture Drive on the University of Georgia campus, sits a unique machine that may hold one of the solutions to big environmental problems like energy, food production and even global climate change. Biochar's high carbon content and porous nature can help soil retain water, nutrients, protect soil microbes. "This machine right here is our baby," said UGA research engineer Brian Bibens, who is one of a handful of researchers around the world working on alternative ways to recycle carbon. Bibens' specialty is "biochar," a highly porous charcoal made from organic waste. The raw material can be any forest, agricultural or animal waste. Some examples are woodchips, corn husks, peanut shells, even chicken manure. Bibens feeds the waste -- called "biomass" -- into an octagonally sha...

Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark; He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!
