nokia is for overal country

Nokia Corporation[4] (Finnish: Nokia Oyj, Finnish pronunciation: , UK /ˈ, US /ˈnoʊkiə/) is a Finnish multinational communications and information technology company, founded in 1865. Nokia is headquartered in Espoo, Uusimaa, in the greater Helsinki metropolitan area.[1] In 2014, Nokia employed 61,656 people across 120 countries, conducts sales in more than 150 countries and reported annual revenues of around €12.73 billion.[3] Nokia is a public limited-liability company listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange.[5] It is the world's 274th-largest company measured by 2013 revenues according to the Fortune Global 500.[6] The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.[7]

The company has had various industries in its 150-year history, originally founded as a pulp mill, and currently focuses on large-scale telecommunications infrastructures, and technology development and licensing.[8] Nokia is also a major contributor to the mobile telephony industry, having assisted in development of the GSM and LTE standards, and was, for a period, the largest vendor of mobile phones in the world. Nokia's dominance also extended into the smartphone industry through its Symbian platform, but was soon overshadowed by competitors. Nokia eventually entered into a pact with Microsoft in 2011 to exclusively use its Windows Phone platform on future smartphones. Its mobile phone business was eventually bought by Microsoft in an overall deal totaling €5.44 billion (US $7.17 billion).[9][10] Stephen Elop, Nokia's former CEO, and several other executives joined the new Microsoft Mobile subsidiary of Microsoft as part of the deal, which was completed on April 25, 2014.[11]

Since the sale of its mobile phone business, Nokia began to focus more extensively on its telecommunications infrastructure business, marked by the divestiture of its Here Maps division, its foray in virtual reality, and the acquisitions of French telecommunications company Alcatel-Lucent and digital health maker Withings in 2016

Microsoft has conform to open company...

Microsoft Corporation / (commonly referred to as Microsoft) is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, Microsoft Office office suite, and Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers. Its flagship hardware products are the Xbox game consoles and the Microsoft Surface tablet lineup. It is the world's largest software maker by revenue,[7] and one of the world's most valuable companies.[8]

Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for Altair 8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Microsoft Windows. The company's 1986 initial public offering, and subsequent rise in its share price, created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions. In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in its largest acquisition to date.[9]

As of 2015, Microsoft is market dominant in both the IBM PC-compatible operating system (while it lost the majority of the overall operating system market to Android) and office software suite markets (the latter with Microsoft Office). The company also produces a wide range of other software for desktops and servers, and is active in areas including Internet search (with Bing), the video game industry (with the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles), the digital services market (through MSN), and mobile phones (via the operating systems of Nokia's former phones[10] and Windows Phone OS). In June 2012, Microsoft entered the personal computer production market for the first time, with the launch of the Microsoft Surface, a line of tablet computers.

With the acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division to form Microsoft Mobile Oy, the company re-entered the smartphone hardware market, after its previous attempt, Microsoft Kin, which resulted from their acquisition of Danger Inc.[11]

The word "Microsoft" is a portmanteau of "microcomputer" and "software"

Bill Gates develop new software oh hacking WIFI

William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, and programmer.[2][3] In 1975, Gates and Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft, which became the world's largest PC software company. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect, and was the largest individual shareholder until May 2014.[4][a] Gates has authored and co-authored several books.
Starting in 1987, Gates was included in the Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people[7] and was the wealthiest from 1995 to 2007, again in 2009, and has been since 2014.[8] Between 2009 and 2014, his wealth doubled from US$40 billion to more than US$82 billion.[9] Between 2013 and 2014, his wealth increased by US$15 billion.[10] Gates is currently the wealthiest person in the world with a net worth of US$77.3 billion.[11]

Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion that has in some cases been upheld by numerous court rulings.[12][13] Later in his career Gates pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.

Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January 2000. He remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect for himself.[14] In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work, and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[15] He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie (chief software architect) and Craig Mundie (chief research and strategy officer).[16] Ozzie later left the company. Gates's last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008.[16] He stepped down as chairman of Microsoft, in February 2014, taking on a new post as technology adviser to support newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella.

Randeep Hooda Got Carried Away And Kissed Kajal Aggarwal During Shoot!

Southern Beauty Kajal Aggarwal and Haryanvi Boy Randeep Hooda are currently in Malaysia, shooting for ‘Do Lafzon Ki Kahani’, a movie by Deepak Tijori.

Reports say that while filming an intimate scene with Kajal, Randeep got carried away and kissed her. Kajal was shocked when Randeep kissed her all of a sudden. She didn’t say anything to him but called for a cut and left. Kajal asked Deepak to delete it and reshoot. Deepak had to pacify her as it was all unexpected.

randeep

While talking to DNA, Deepak defended Randeep and said, “I do remember Kajal had told me that she does not do kissing scenes on screen, as she is a huge South Indian movie star, and this would impact her career in South movies. But let me tell you, there was no intention to malign her or kiss her without her knowledge. It was the emotional moment between two lovers as per the script, and I generally prefer actors doing scenes impromptu, so Randeep followed the emotional quotient of the scene

Talking about the reaction of Kajal to this impromptu gesture of Randeep, he said: “She did back off after calling for a cut, but later on once I had explained to her the significance of the liplock, she surrendered herself to the script and went on to do the scene with all the passion she could put in.”

We can imagine the state of Kajal Aggarwal, who has never kissed on screen, be it Bollywood projects or South movies. However, with this liplock, Kajal has broken her rule. On the other hand, this impromptu gesture has proved quite beneficial for the director as he got a nice steamy sequence for the film.

Cannes on high alert ahead of film festival opening

ecurity at the Cannes film festival, which opens on Wednesday, will be intense as France is still facing a high risk of attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Monday.
With 45,000 people expected to visit the May 11-22 event, French authorities are on high alert with some 400 security agents, hundreds of police deployed and special forces ready to intervene, Cazeneuve told a news conference.
France has been under a state of emergency since attacks claimed by Islamic State killed 130 people in November at entertainment venues in and around Paris including a concert hall, cafes and the Stade the France stadium.
"As we are about to open this festival and as I come here to check the security protocol, we are ... facing a risk that is higher than ever," Cazeneuve said.
"And against an enemy who is determined to strike at any time, we must be extremely vigilant at all times."
France has already announced plans to extend the state of emergency to cover the Euro 2016 soccer tournament that begins next month and announced stricter security for venues.
In 1978, French authorities thwarted an attack on the film festival when they discovered a bomb on the Palais des Festivals stage.
Woody Allen's "Cafe Society" opens the 69th edition of the festival on Wednesday.

I've never had a one-night stand: Megan Fox

She is considered a sex symbol in Hollywood, but actress Megan Fox has revealed she has never had a one-night stand in her life.

The "Jennifer's Body" star said she could never even imagine having sex with someone she does not truly love, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I can never have sex with someone I don't love, ever. The idea makes me sick. I've never even come close to having a one-night stand," Fox was quoted as saying by The Sun newspaper.

Fox, who recently reunited with her husband Brian Austin Green, turns 30 later this month and has revealed how her love of stargazing has helped to inform her decision-making as the milestone approaches.

"There's something in astrology called your Saturn return. Saturn is the planet of karma and responsibility and life lessons take 30 years to orbit your chart, so usually everyone in their 30th year has some self-realisation to ensure they're going in the right direction," she said.

Meanwhile, the actress also said she agonises about her next career move, admitting starring in movies is not something she is "necessarily passionate about".

"It's not something I'm necessarily passionate about, so I've asked myself this question for the last few years, 'What is it that I'm here for and where are my passions?'"

A year of temporary living

The road that leads to the village is a dirt track that continuously climbs steep uphill for the better part of the hour-long drive from Battar in the PashungLamhu Highway. As we get off our vehicle on the top of a mountain dotted with zinc sheets, there is no mistaking that these are earthquake survivors. As far as the eye can see, none of the private houses seem intact. We see four men and one woman neatly piling stones on top of each other collected from the debris, while an excavator levels the slopes to prepare the foundation for the village’s new health post. The old health post crumbled and collapsed as the Gorkha earthquake struck on April 25. But villagers and health workers quickly salvaged medicine and equipment to relocate the health facility to another building of the local government. Most homes in this village of 1471 families have been rendered uninhabitable. Even as uncertainty hangs over rebuilding of their own homes, the villagers came together to generously donate 4 ropanis of land for the health post to be rebuilt to satisfy the new government regulations on rebuilding of public facilities. The constant fear of another powerful tremor may have subsided as frequency of aftershocks become less, but questions about how they will rebuild their homes weigh heavy on their mind. “We don’t think the money given by the government is adequate,” said Badri Prasad Bhatta, who was among the seven people who donated land for rebuilding the health facility even as his own house is far from rebuilt. “We don’t need cash, let the government build it for us within the money they have allocated.” We don’t need cash, let the government build it for us within the money they have allocated - Badri Prasad Bhatta Badri has heard of the subsidised loan that affected households are eligible to receive; but he doubts that any collateral they have will satisfy the banks. Nepal Rastra Bank has announced a subsidised loan at two percent interest rates for earthquake victims. These loans will be disbursed by commercial banks and have a ceiling of Rs2.5 million for Kathmandu Valley and Rs1.5 million in rest of the country. “Each household can receive upto Rs300, 000 without collateral if all the villagers sign in as collective guarantor,” said Sudarshan Risal, Local Development Officer (LDO) of Nuwakot district. “Out of the 17 approved house models, few of them can be built within Rs50,000.” Sudarshan Risal, Local Development Officer (LDO) of Nuwakot district But according to Nepal Rastra Bank, so far banks in the entire affected districts have issued only six subsidised loans. That puts the prospect of villagers getting subsidised loans in literally few in a million. In Nuwakot alone, there were 1,109 deaths and 77,000 houses were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. LDO Risal admits that guidelines on the subsidised loans are not clear and getting it in reality might be difficult. Villagers are also worried about their ability to meet the conditions attached to the housing grant. In order to receive all three installments of the grant, each household will have to meet engineering criteria to make it earthquake-resistant. Most families in this village of people with primarily Bhatta last name rely on their farms and animals for income, but after the earthquake, working on the farm hasn’t been easy. Huge cracks have developed on farms and water sources have dried up, villagers say. Women complain that they have to walk over an hour to fetch drinking water. Besides rebuilding of homes, restoring water sources appear to be number one priority to the villagers. They want the water supply to be restored at the earliest; but they can do very little own their own. In the last one-year, villagers have received support from many organisations, including Red Cross, UNDP, UNICEF, Save the Children, among others. But the most tangible ones came from government in the form of cash assistance to the temporary shelter, food and winter clothes, they say. As the government instructed, the cash for temporary shelter was spent on procuring zinc sheets. But these very zinc sheets meant to provide little comfort keep them awake at night and alert and outside during the day as gusts of wind frequently blow them away—creating risk of injury or even death. Two days ago, a flying zinc sheet struck Buddhi Man BK. He feels lucky to have survived with a deep cut in his arm. “It was scary the way that thing came flying towards me,” said BK. Buddhi Man BK, who got injured from flying zinc sheet, receives treatment at local health post. Even when there are no strong winds, it is intolerably hot to live inside the temporary shelters during the day. “It feels like you have been baked,” said Devki Bhatta, whose home, like everyone else, wasn’t able to withstand the powerful temblor. “During the day all the drinking water we have inside shelter becomes boiling hot.” In many ways, Charghare village is representative of challenges faced by all earthquake-affected villages. Perhaps the only exception would be the road connectivity. Even though these roads may be just dirt tracks, they are in better shape than other remote villages, thanks to nearly half a dozen powerful politicians, including former five-time finance minister Ram Sharan Mahat, who call the district their home.In the aftermath of the earthquake Nuwakot has courted controversy for having highest number of fraudulent claims (comprising of politically connected individuals) and disproportionately huge amount of assistance compared to other worst affected districts—perhaps an indication of risk of politicisation of reconstruction efforts. But as monsoon approaches, driving up distance in the mountainous villages would become almost impossible. Even as district officials say that the first installment of the housing grant will be distributed in all districts in next three months, villagers don’t think that they would begin reconstruction before autumn. Many blame the government of raising expectations and not living up to it. “We would have done whatever needed to be done had the government told us that it couldn’t provide assistance,” said Ram Chandra Bhatta, another villager. Ram Chandra Bhatta says the government housing grant is inadequate. Engineer Sudarshan Ghimire supervises debris removal As monsoon approaches, villagers are resigned to fact that their living will be still be temporary for another six months even in best of circumstances. A health worker measures weight of a child at a local health post. Health workers say cases of malnutrition has risen among children after the earthquake. Januka Bhatta, who lost her husband in a bus accident, has no source of income. She works as a day labourer to provide for herself and her four-year-old son. Currently she is working to help remove debris of the old health post. She receives Rs460 each day in a cash-for-work programme run by UNDP and funded by KOICA. It feels like you have been baked. During the day all the drinking water we have inside shelter becomes boiling hot - Devki Bhatta.

Authorities to probe into names in Panama Papers

The government authorities said on Tuesday that they were trying to establish whether the seven names linked to Nepal that appeared in the Panama Papers database released on Monday night were real names.

The Inter.national Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) on Monday night put online records of over 200,000 secret offshore companies, with 19 names linked to Nepal-seven from the Panama Papers source and 12 from Offshore Leaks.

Upendra Mahato, Arun Kumar Chaudhary, Survansh Kumar Chaudhary, Karan Kumar Chaudhary, Uma Devi Singhania, Shila Chaudhary and Nawang Dolma are the seven names that appeared in the database, claiming to be their links to Nepal.

All of these are said to have offshore investment in the British Virgin Islands--a tax haven country.

Officials have said the authorities first of all will try to find out who these people are, as some names match with those of some well-known business figures. “First of all we have to establish whether these people indeed are the well-known business persons of our country,” said Kishor Jung Karki, director of the Department of Money Laundering Investigation (DMLI), adding that the names that have appeared could have been used by others or maybe of those who share their names with some renowned business persons.

Nepal’s law prohibits its citizens from investing abroad unless the wealth that is earned abroad.

Out of the seven names listed in the ICIJ database, Upendra Mahato is a Non-Resident Nepali (NRN) with significant investment and wealth abroad. Other six persons whose names have been listed in the database do not have sizeable source of income from foreign countries.

Unless the authorities finalise their investigation into the names, it’s just a matter of speculations, said some government sources.

Nepalis stashing money abroad, however, is not a new thing, and government officials are very much aware of this fact. But nonetheless, nothing substantial has been done to bring the money back or investigate those who have been said to have parked money abroad.

A banker, who spoke on condition of anonymity, however, said that just because some names have appeared in the database does not make them guilty. “That can’t be used as proof,” said the banker. “There must be strong evidence to prove their links to offshore companies. Investigation of a large magnitude is required. I don’t think our government has the institutional capacity to carry out investigation of such a large magnitude.”

However, some expressed say the DMLI must immediately summon the persons whose names have appeared in the database.

“If they deny their links to offshore companies, our government must reach out to the government of the British Virgin Islands,” said a former official of the Ministry of Finance.

Budget likely to reach record Rs 1t

May 11, 2016- The government budget for the next fiscal year is likely to reach a record Rs1 trillion with the National Planning Commission (NPC), buoyed by swelling revenues and a hoard of unused funds in the government coffers, planning to raise the budget ceiling.

The NPC had fixed the upper limit at Rs909.96 billion for fiscal 2016-17 which begins in mid-July. NPC sources said that the new ceiling would be around Rs1 trillion.

“The exact budget ceiling will be decided by the Resource Committee meeting that is scheduled to be held soon,” they said. “We have Rs100 billion lying idle that could be spent on major infrastructure projects,” said a high-level NPC source who did not wish to be named.

“Besides, revenue collection has increased significantly in the last few months, something that the government had not expected due to the five-month-long trade embargo,” he added.

Also, the government has recently received Rs9.96 billion in capital gains tax from telecom giant Ncell which has boosted its cash reserves.

According to the NPC, the government will accord priority to road construction, education and agriculture in its annual financial plan.

“Various ministries have asked for an increase in their budget allocations, but additional funds will be allocated on a priority basis.”

Learning the lessons from last September’s trade embargo which exposed the country’s vulnerability, the NPC has also given priority to strengthening the supply system by boosting the fuel storage capacity.

The government’s policies and programmes for the next fiscal year has envisaged constructing oil storage tanks to maintain at least a 90-day supply of oil reserves.

The road projects that are in the priority list are Biratnagar-Kimathanka, Mustang-Korala, Karnali corridor connecting Hilsa, Galchhi-Syabrubeshi-Rasuwagadhi and Kathmandu-Tatopani.

NPC officials said that the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport had sought a budget of Rs79 billion for the next fiscal year against the ceiling of Rs55 billion. “We have considered the ministry’s proposal and it will get a large budget.”
Likewise, the Ministry of Education, which has got the highest budget ceiling of Rs101 billion, has demanded another Rs20 billion.

The Irrigation and Supplies ministries have also asked for an additional Rs15 billion each. NPC sources said Rs123 billion would be allocated for reconstruction in the next budget.

Economist Madan Kumar Dahal said a large budget was usual for a country that had been hit by a deadly quake and crippling trade embargo.

“However, the government needs to build a regulatory framework to control inflation that could result from the enlarged size of the budget,” he said.

Dahal said that the government’s capacity to spend the capital budget should be enhanced. The government’s capital expenditure has reached a mere 20 percent as of the first nine and a half months of the current fiscal year.

However, officials said that capital expenditure had been hitting 60 percent in the last few years.

319,912 households ‘real beneficiaries’

  The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) is preparing to sign aid agreements with over 50 percent of the total quake-affected households that were identified by the Post Disaster Need Assessment conducted last year after the April 25 earthquake.

The reconstruction body has finalised the name list of “real beneficiaries” after re-verifying details of damage caused to houses and infrastructure.

“After going through the details collected so far, we have finalised 319,912 households as the beneficiaries from 11 districts that were worst affected by the quake,” said NRA Spokesperson Ram Thapaliya.

He said that the authority will begin signing aid agreements in 11 districts from Sunday when the country marks the first anniversary of the earthquake. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is set to lay the foundation stone of two private houses in Sindhupalchok and Okhaldhunga on the day.

Authority officials said the final name list of beneficiaries will be made public in villages of 11 districts where detailed damaged assessments have been completed.

Based on agreements made with the World Bank and other donors in August, the Central Bureau of Statistics had begun survey of damaged houses and infrastructure from January.  So far, the CBS has surveyed over 643,000 houses in 11 districts. Survey is yet to begin in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur.

The number of earthquake victims was estimated to be half a million when details were collected while preparing the PDNA. The number, however, increased to 770,000 when the government announced various relief packages and subsidised loans for quake victims.

Thapaliya said earthquake victims will get the housing aid money after signing the grant agreements with the local bodies in the presence of NRA officials. The government has announced Rs 200,000 as housing aid and up to Rs 2,500,000 in subsidised loan to each household rendered homeless.

The aid distribution process, however, is cumbersome, and will be completed in three phases. The victims will get Rs 50,000 in the first phase, Rs 80,000 in the second and Rs 70,000 in the last phase, according to NRA’s grant procedure guidelines.

The money will be released through banking channel. “We are holding discussions with the association of private banks to distribute money,” said Thapaliya.

But according to sources, the NRA and banks are yet to reach an agreement for the purpose. It is learnt that banks have sought Rs 10,050 for releasing money to each household. The NRA is at sea as to how it is going to manage such a huge sum of money which it will require if it has to pay Rs 10,050 for distributing money to each household.

KMC begins vaccination, campaign for street dogs

Apr 21, 2016- Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has started the first ever vaccination drive for street dogs in the Capital.

Dubbed the Manumitra Campaign, it is aimed at managing the population of street dogs in Kathmandu by steralising and vaccinating them  against rabies. Humane Society International (HSI) and Jane Godall Institute (JGI) are supporting the initiative.

The drive was formally launched from Singha Durbar, the country’s administrative hub, on Wednesday in an event at the presence of Livestock Development Minister Shanta Manavi. She praised the KMC’s initiative and said that it should be implemented across the country.

KMC will run the drive in all 35 wards of Kathmandu and it is expected to take three years. According to the census conducted by HSI, there are around 22,000 street dogs within the city limits of Kathmandu alone.

Andrew Rowan, the CEO of HSI, said Nepal became one of the few South Asian countries to launch the campaign. He noted that Bhutan and some cities in India have successfully implemented programmes to manage street dogs.

Threat of  stray dogs to public safety and health has always been a challenge both in Kathmandu and many other parts of the country. 

Annually, 30,000 anti-rabies vaccines are used on people bitten by dogs. In the Capital alone, nearly 2,000 people are bitten by dogs in a year.

KMC Chief and Executive Officer said the street dog management campaign was also linked with public health. He said Kathmandu will not be an ideal city unless it has vaccinated and managed its four-footed street dwellers.

Barpak village one-year after the earthquake (in pictures)

Apr 22, 2016- Barpak village of Gorka district, the epicentre of the devastating earthquake of April 25, 2015, is preparing to recover from the devastation it suffered. Locals are striving to rebuild the ruined houses and to bring the village in order once again.

There are around 447 households in Barpak which lies 60Km away from the district headquarters. Seventy-two people lost their lives in this village with a population of 8000 people, while around 100 of those injured are still undergoing treatment.

The newly installed white and blue corrugated roofing sheets against the backdrop of the Mt Buddha have added to the beauty of Barpak. One-year after the horrendous disaster, the locals keep themselves busy in the reconstruction work from early in the morning.

Barpak residents braved the winter and rainy season living in temporary shelter. Nearly 300 households are still forced to live under tents and tarpaulin roofs. Though the affluent people of the village have built their houses on their own, the underprivileged lot have lost their hopes of building their houses.

“We used to hear our leaders say that the government would do something. But we are still living in temporary shelter,” said one Min Gurung, who has been living in tent.

Future of Fewa Lake at stake

One of the major tourist attractions of Pokhara is bearing the brunt of rapid urbanisation, pollution.
           Apr 10, 2016- Fewa Lake of Pokhara, one of the major tourist attractions in the country, is bearing the brunt of rapid and uncontrolled urbanisation, with encroachment continuing unabated.

Despite a ban on construction of physical infrastructure within 65 metres from the edge of the water body, as many as 204 houses and huts have been erected around it recently, according to the Fewa Lake Conservation and Management Office (FLCMO).

Mahendra Godar, an engineer at the FLCMO, said even tourism entrepreneurs and government authorities have encroached upon the lake area and constructed tall buildings, threatening the lake’s beauty and existence.

The lake in 1957 covered around 10 square kilometres of area. But according to a study in 2007, the lake area has decreased to 4 square kilometres, thanks to unabated encroachment.

According to report presented by the Fewa Lake Land Investigation Committee, the lake shrunk to 5.5 square kilometres in 1976 and to 4.4 square kilometres in 1998.

“We cannot remove the structures that have been built around the lake without political assurance and help from all sectors,” said Godar.

Ram Bahadur Paudel, coordinator of civil society of Pokhara, alleged that the Pokhara Sub-metropolis failed take any concrete measure to protect the lake. As a result the major attraction of the Lake City is in dire straits, he said.

The average depth of the lake has also decreased to 8.6 metres.

Geologist Krishna KC said siltation has reduced both the area and the depth of the lake.

Around 50 rivulets, including Harpan and Aadherikhola, feed waters to the lake, and floods triggered by heavy rainfall during monsoon deposit clay, dirt and debris in the lake.

Pollution is yet another major problem facing the lake.

According to Devendra Bahadur Lamichhane, who has done his PhD on Fewa Lake, the water body is facing a huge crisis. “If the concerned agencies fail to come up with a solution soon, the city could lose the lake,” said Lamichhane.

The lake is not only a tourist attraction but also is a source of livelihood for many. As many as 91 fishermen’s and 724 boaters’ families depend on it. It is also home to a number of plants and animals and around 200 species of birds are found in the Fewa region.
Nar Bahadur Bogati, who earns a living by rowing boat, said he is worried that the lake is turning into a dumping site.

Bhaktapur ends tragic year on optimistic note

The lull in tourist arrivals to this ancient city, dubbed the walking museum by many, has stirred up as the flow of visitors increases

Apr 13, 2016- When Bhaktapur opened up for tourists after last April’s earthquake on June 12, only 20 tourists visited the ancient city in the first month, recalls Damodar Suwal, the local tourist information officer.

It was a difficult period for the residents who, still shaken by one of the worst calamities in the country’s history, were trying to regain normalcy in their life so much dependent on international tourists who drive the city’s economy.
It took over four months for the city’s tourism business to stir up from the lull, says Suwal.

“For the first time in the month of October, Bhaktapur was visited by 7,500 tourists and then from the next month the number of visitors started to grow,” said Suwal.

Around 60,000 tourists have visited Bhaktapur since the devastating earthquake and the authorities project that by the end of this fiscal year around 100,000 tourists would have visited the city.

According to the Tourist Information Centre of Bhaktapur, the number of visitors in the last two months of February and March registered an encouraging growth, 85,000 and 12,000 respectively.

“Of course, these figures do not compare with the previous years, but they are definitely encouraging indicators,” Suwal said. “The people are optimistic about the future of this city.”

Cultural expert Om Dhaubhadel is one of the optimists. “Some of the city’s iconic temples and monuments suffered great damages, but that has not hurt the culture of Bhaktapur,” he said.

Bhaktapur is currently celebrating the annual Bisket Jatra, a nine-day festival which is already attracting many tourists to the city. The city has already opened its doors to visitors.

Strong quake kills 9, injures more than 800 in Japan

Apr 15, 2016- At least nine people were killed and more than 800 injured by a magnitude 6.5 earthquake that toppled houses and buckled roads in southern Japan, the government's chief spokesman said Friday.

Yoshihide Suga said he would visit the area, 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) southwest of Tokyo, to assess the damage.

He said 1,600 soldiers had been deployed, and TV reports showed some delivering blankets and adult diapers to the thousands of people who took shelter because their homes were wrecked or unsafe

Int’l rights groups urge Nepal govt to respect NHRC's independence

Apr 15, 2016- International Human Rights Organisations have asked Nepal Government to immediately stop the intimidation of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and its independence in line with international standard.

They were responding to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s recent move to summon the NHRC commissioners for questioning them over the statement delivered by Commissioner Mohna Ansari during the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the human rights situation in Human Rights Council.

In a press statement on Thursday, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the International Commission of Jurists said that the attempts to intimidate the NHRC are a direct contradiction of the United Nation's Paris Principles as well as the Constitution of Nepal.

Prime Minister Oli on April 3 summoned Chief Commissioner Anup Raj Sharma, and other to seek clarification on its statement during the UPR in Geneva in mid-March, in which the commission raised the issues of citizenship, fundamental rights and the use of excessive force by the state.

“As the principal independent constitutional body mandated to promote and protect human rights in the country, the NHRC plays a vital role in ensuring governmental accountability, and was well within its authority under both the Nepali Constitution and international standards when it delivered its submission to the UN Human Rights Council during the UPR,” the statement quoted Nikhil Narayan, ICJ’s South Asia senior legal adviser as saying.

How the innocent people in the country are being made Christian?

A video has been found which shows how the innocent people are moved to change their religion to Christianity by making them fool. In the video you can see that in 2009 those who went to treat the people in Surkhet are given treatment and said that the Jesus has cured them. The leaders from follower of Christianity claimed that they have not made people change their religion showing the temptation or with treachery. But in the video it can be clearly seen how the innocent people are being tried to give some psychological effects on their mentality about the Christianity.

In the video you can see how the announcer is asking a old women to speak that ‘Jesus has cures me’. As per the video the old lady seems to have problem of joint pain. Likewise addressing the mass they also claimed that the lady who had paralysis form last 18 years is getting cured now. For each and every individual’s health problem they claimed that lord Jesus has help them. They claimed that every person cured there are due to the power of Jesus.

This type of incident has being heard in the society for most of the time. After the country was state secular country every religion are respected and followed. But then our country is mostly populated with people following Hindu religion. Anyway with this democracy in the country people can choose any religion they want to follow and prosper in their life. But in the name of following there are already many incident that have came out in the media about the innocent people tempted and kept in the illusion in the name of religion.

In the name of religion there are institution opened in the name of raising the followers. People can choose the religion they want to follow in their will but not with any force. But in our country people are either forced or shown temptation or illusionary activities to blind the people , in order to make the people change their religion.
