स्थानीय तहमा विधिको शासन

Image
काठमाडौँ — निर्वाचित भएर काम थालेको एक वर्ष बितिसक्दा पनि कतिपय स्थानीय सरकारहरूले अझै लय पक्रन सकेका छैनन् । यसपालि पनि कैयौं स्थानीय तहले औपचारिकता पूरा गर्ने हिसाबले मात्र ‘कर्मकाण्डी’ बजेट ल्याएका छन् । यसले उनीहरूको कार्यप्रणालीमा रहेको बेथितिलाई औंल्याउँछ । हरेक असार १० गतेभित्र स्थानीय सरकारहरूले आगामी वर्षको बजेट पेस गरिसक्नुपर्ने कानुनी व्यवस्थाका कारण कतिपय गाउँ तथा नगरपालिकाले नीति तथा कार्यक्रमको खाका मात्रै ल्याएका छन् । विकासे योजनाका शीर्षक र रकम बाँडफाँडको आधारबिनै उनीहरूले बजेट प्रस्तुत गरेका हुन् । यसरी स्थानीय सरकारहरूले संविधान तथा कानुनप्रदत्त अधिकारहरूको समुचित अभ्यास गर्न नसक्नु दु:खद छ । कानुनद्वारा निर्धारित समयसीमा सकिसक्दा पनि कति स्थानीय सरकारले अझै बजेट ल्याउन सकेका छैनन् । ल्याएकामध्ये पनि कतिपयले ‘झारा टार्ने’ किसिमले मात्र ल्याएका छन् । बजेट पेस तथा पारित गर्ने क्रममा कतिले स्थानीय सरकार सञ्चालन ऐन, २०७४ को ठाडो उल्लंघन गरेका छन् । ऐनमा ‘सबै स्थानीय तहका उपाध्यक्ष, उपप्रमुख वा कार्यपालिकाले तोकेको सदस्यले’ बजेट पेस गर्नुपर्ने प्रावधान भए

DNA From Ancient Child reveals new group of Native Americans: the ancient Beringians

Potter Researchers have managed to sequence the genome of an ancient child that was descended from one of the original founding humans to have stepped foot in the Americas. A baby girl who lived and died in what is now Alaska at the end of the last ice age belonged to a previously unknown group of ancient Native Americans, according to DNA recovered from her bones. The child, a mere six weeks old when she died, was found in a burial pit next to the remains of a stillborn baby, perhaps a first cousin, during excavations of an 11,500-year-old residential camp in Tanana River Valley in Central Alaska. The remains were discovered in 2013, but a full genetic analysis has not been possible until now. Researchers tried to recover ancient DNA from both of the infants but succeeded only in the case of the larger individual. They had expected h

NASA Has Found Another Planetary System Many Planets As Our Own

Image
Thanks to a novel artificial intelligence technique in partnership with Google, NASA has discovered a planetary system that has as many planets as our own. It’s the most planets in one system we’ve ever found elsewhere. The system is called Kepler-90, a Sun-like star 2,545 light-years from Earth. We already knew about seven planets in this system, but thanks to this new technique, we’ve found an eighth. The findings are published in   The Astrophysical Journal . “The Kepler-90 star system is like a mini version of our solar system,” said Andrew Vanderburg from the University of Texas at Austin, one of the scientists behind the discovery, in a  statement . “You have small planets inside and big planets outside, but everything is scrunched in much closer.” Kepler has been looking for planets since 2009, and has found thousands so far. But there are many more hiding in its data that we aren’t able to confirm yet. Thanks to this new method, we can do better. Kepler finds planets by detecti

This You Need To Start Blogging For Big

This You Need To Start Blogging For BigA quick search on the net for blogs and you find that not only are the general public using them as a way of electronically noteing their feelings and thoughts but also businesses are using them as an informal way of updating their clients of products and services. It seems that when it comes to blogging big businesses and small businesses are on the same playing field.  A blog offers any business the opportunity to communicate with employees, and customers, sharing knowledge and expertise. As you may or may not have realised is that blogging is a big plus and if used correctly can provide an interesting and effective way to increase brand identity and awareness. My personal web design company (Able Net Design) has seen an increase in interest of blogs and its use with our own customers. It seems that everyone is jumping on this new system, as a cheap and effective way to spread the word. A quick google search for the term "business blogging&

How To See The Geminid Meteor Shower

Image
Look alive, people. One of the best meteor showers of the year is happening tonight, and you should definitely check it out if you can. Yes, the Geminid meteor shower will be at its peak from tonight, Wednesday, December 13 into tomorrow, Thursday, December 14. Up to 120 meteors per hour will be visible. What’s more, the Moon shouldn’t pose much of a problem. Hooray! Meteors from this shower originate from the Gemini constellation. From the Northern Hemisphere, you’ll want to look to the  upper left of the constellation Orion  in the southwestern sky to get the best view. In the Southern Hemisphere, look to the lower right of Orion. While many major meteor showers peak in the morning, the Geminids will be visible from about 9pm EST (2am GMT). At this time they’ll be quite near the horizon, according to  Sky & Telescope , but by 2am their radiant point will be overhead – so you’ll get a fantastic view then. Of course, the meteors will appear all across the sky, but looking towards t

Lindsey Vonn Suffers - Back Injures - World Cup Race

Back Injures pulls out of St. Moritz race "Lindsey Vonn" Vonn later tweeted she had an "acute facet (spinal joint) dysfunction. I got compressed on the 6th gate and my back seized up." Vonn said she would see how she responded to treatment overnight, but she tweeted again Sunday morning ahead of a second super-G:  "Unfortunately I will not be able to race today. "I am extremely disappointed but my biggest goal this season is the Olympics and I need to take care of myself now so I can be ready for next week, and more importantly, for February." Soon after Newsweek asked Fox News for comment on the article, the outlet changed the story's headline to "Lindsey Vonn suffers back injury in World Cup race" and deleted a tweet with the original headline, although that tweet is still archived. Fox News spokeswoman Jessica Jensen acknowledged the changes in an email to Newsweek, writing, "The headline was changed and the tweet was deleted.&qu
