Punishment for being overweight!

How much you get charged for being overweight? We always pay one way or other for being overweight either by wealth or health. But Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat paid a possibility of Olympic gold medal for being just less than a pound being overweight. It  is actually just 100 grams, less than 1 pau. 

India’s star wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics on the morning of her gold medal fight after coming in overweight, officials said.

Phogat was slated to lock horns with Sarah Hildebrandt of the US later on Wednesday after defeating Cuba’s Yusneylys Guzmán in the 50kg semifinal.

Phogat was about 2kg overweight on Tuesday night. She made a desperate bid to make weight by jogging, skipping and cycling through the night. But at a weigh-in in the morning she was still 100 grams over, the daily reported. This tells losing weight is a challenge.

This means Phogat, who was assured a silver medal at least, will not be eligible for a medal. She will also be ranked last under the rules, missing the chance to become the first Indian wrestler to win an Olympics gold.

What it tells to everyone; health is wealth!

Disasters as Global Concerns with Local Interventions

 

A disaster shifts geography, people, and culture. It also initiates movement in space, causes various networks to form, and creates a local space for global stakeholders to act. Different types of networked communications begin to occur. Daniel Aldrich defines a disaster as “an event that suspends normal activities and threatens or causes severe, communitywide damage” . Indeed, larger-scale crises create disruptions in normalcy by causing threats to living entities’ well-being and natural or infrastructural damages. The United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) defines a disaster as “a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts” (“Disaster”). Therefore, disasters are events that have extreme, largescale impacts that affect a great number of lives. They can have a multidimensional effect that requires the involvement of national, local and international entities to address the aftermath. So, disasters disrupt people’s normal lives, but they also bring local people together to form various communities both in online and offline spaces via public discourses on the web, collective interactions in transcultural ways, and through the sharing of the affective sentiment. As such, the discourses of local catastrophic disasters transcend boundaries as these disasters become a global concern.

नेपालका प्रदेश, कति प्रभावकारी?

 

नेपालका प्रदेश, कति प्रभावकारी? यसमा धेरै को फरक मत हुन सक्छ।  तर जनगुनासो अनुसार यो राजनीति कार्यकर्ता भर्ति गर्ने थलो जस्तो भएको । 

 यस बारेमा प्रदेशको औचित्यमाथि गहिरो बिस्लेषण  । 

प्रदेश सरकारहरूले काम गर्न थालेको गत फागुनमा ६ वर्ष पूरा भएर सात वर्ष लागेको छ। संविधानले प्रदेश सरकारका एकल र साझा गरी दुई प्रकारका अधिकार र जिम्मेवारी तोकेको छ। यी अधिकारको सीमाभित्र रहेर प्रदेश सरकारले कानुन बनाउने, वार्षिक बजेट बनाउने, निर्णय गर्ने, नीति तथा योजना तयार गर्ने र त्यसको कार्यान्वयन गर्ने काम गरिरहेका छन्।

ए सराद्दे बाजे 

आज एक दिन भए नि

मेरी आमालाई भेटाइ देऊ

आमाको झलक्क देखाइ देऊ

हरेक बर्ष मेरी आमाले नै पाउछिन भन्दै

दाल चामल र फल दान माग्छौ

आमालाई न दिएर के आँफै राख्छौ 

आमाको नाममा चढाएका

हरेक कुरा  आमाले पाउछिन भन्नेले

एक दिन भए पनि आमालाई बोलाई दिन सक्दैनौ 

एक छिन भए पनि आमाको  देखाइ दिन सक्दैनौ 

हैन भने किन तिथी र स्राद्द गराउछौ 

सबै आमाले पाउछिन भन्दै कराउछौ ।

How do you rescue a person from Mount Everest?

Mount Everest, the height place on earth. What happens if you get stuck there? 

Well there is no road or airport. If you are immbackpackobalized, only way to get you back is on somebody's back. Just like a back pack, a person has to be carried down the the base camp for further help.

Here is one example how a Malaysian climber got rescued from Mount Everest. 

A Malaysian climber narrowly survived after a Nepali sherpa guide hauled him down from below the summit of Mount Everest in a "very rare" high altitude rescue, a government official said on Wednesday. Gelje Sherpa, 30, was guiding a Chinese client to the 8,849 metre (29,032 feet) Everest summit on May 18 when he saw the Malaysian climber clinging to a rope and shivering from extreme cold in the area called the "death zone," where temperatures can dip to minus 30 degrees Celsius (86F) or lower.
