Global Competitiveness Report and Nepal

Since the inception of reporting from 2004, the Global Competitiveness Report shows the competitiveness of each country. Scored in 10, higher the marks more competitiveness is the country. The rankings are calculated from both publicly available data and the Executive Opinion Survey, a comprehensive annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum together with its network of Partner Institutes (leading research institutes and business organizations) in the countries covered by the Report.

Switzerland tops the overall ranking in The Global Competitiveness Report 2009-2010. The USA falls one place to second position due to its weakening financial markets and macroeconomic stability. Singapore, Sweden and Denmark round out the top five. European economies continue to prevail in the top 10 with Finland, Germany and the Netherlands following suit. Britain has continued its fall from last year, moving down one more place this year to 13th.



Our neighbouring country China is on the top with ranking 29 while India ranks 49 , Srilanka 79, Pakistan 101, Bangladesh ranks 106, Nepal is at the bottom of the table .However ,it has improved by one point this year from 126 to 125 ranking. Due to continuous strike, factory closure and political instability has compounded the situation in Nepal. It can be hoped that in the coming years Nepal with new constitution will enroll in new economic dynamism and will lead into progress in every front.

Motherland

The heart is always attached to mother and mother land. It is almost difficult to find people not loving their mother and motherland. As a son/daughter of Nepal it is our rights and responsibilities to love Nepal whoever we are, whenever possible and what small it may be.

New 'crisis satellites' launched

Wednesday, 29 July 2009

BBC has reported that New 'crisis satellites' has been launched from Baikonur cosmodromet in Kazaksthan to monitor the disasters. The satellites were launched atop a converted Soviet-era missile ( Dnepr rocket ). The Dnepr is a converted Soviet-era SS-18 intercontinental ballistic missile. The UK-DMC2 and Deimos-1 spacecraft have joined four platforms already in the sky that together form the Disaster Monitoring Constellation.

The network obtains rapid pictures of areas struck by natural calamities - such as floods, earthquakes and fire.
The imagery is used by governments and aid agencies to co-ordinate relief.

Nepal Hazard Risk Assessment

Nepal is hazard prone country to natural disasters. It ranks 11th in terms of earthquake risk and 30th in flood risk in the world. Each year many people lose their lives and properties to natural disasters. In this backdrop many national and international institutions are helping to mitigate the impacts of hazards by understanding them and implementing from the results.

Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is going to undertake the Nepal Hazard Risk Assessment activity and will develop a synthesis report on Nepal’s major hazards, carrying out desk review of already available reports, studies analysis and assessments regarding vulnerability and hazards carried out at the national and sub-national levels, to present an overview of vulnerability assessment for the country, to develop detailed economic analysis using loss probability modeling of the country’s risk with projected economic losses form forecasted hazards, and map high risk geographic regions. The project will be jointly executed and in close collaboration with Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) and Center for International Studies and Cooperation (CECI). The study will be carried out in close collaboration with Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology, Ministry of Environment, Nepal etc. The project is funded by the World Bank and is planned from July 2009-November 2010.

It can be hoped that the outcome will help a lot in disaster mitigation activities.

Lastly want to quote some inspirational quotes on baby:

-Anononmous

Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.

Some one has said,“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for”

I agree with this and what about you ?

Lord Pashupatinath

Lord Pashupatinath is the guardian deity of Nepal. Nepal is sanctified by his divine glory. He is one of the trinity of Hindu religion and consiered as the destroyer. The Pashupatinath temple is the supreme pilgrimage for every Hindu on this planet.

By worshipping at Pashupatinath temple, wealth, grandeur and prosperity are achieved physically and spiritually. It is also said that if a childless couple do puja and make vow to pashupatinath they will get child.

The following is of famous religious hymn normally on aired by Radio Nepal in the early morning in religious program. I have tried to circulate this by making video of this :

WINNERS VERSUS LOSERS

Winner has....

The Winner is always part of the answer;
The Loser is always part of the problem.

The Winner always has a program;
The Loser always has an excuse.

The Winner says, "Let me do it for you";
The Loser says, "That is not my job."

The Winner sees an answer for every problem;
The Loser sees a problem for every answer.

The Winner says, "It may be difficult but it is possible";
The Loser says, "It may be possible but it is too difficult.

"When a Winner makes a mistake, he says, "I was wrong";
When a Loser makes a mistake, he says, "It wasn't my fault."

A Winner makes commitments;
A Loser makes promises.

Winners have dreams;
Losers have schemes.

Winners say, "I must do something";
Losers say, "Something must be done.

"Winners are a part of the team;
Losers are apart from the team.

Winners see the gain;
Losers see the pain.

Winners see possibilities;
Losers see problems.

Winners believe in win-win;
Losers believe for them to win someone has to lose.

Winners see the potential;
Losers see the past.

Winners are like a thermostat;
Losers are like thermometers.

Winners choose what they say;
Losers say what they choose.

Winners use hard arguments but soft words;
Losers use soft arguments but hard words.

Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things;
Losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values.

Winners follow the philosophy of empathy: "Don't do to others what you would not want them to do to you";
Losers follow the philosophy, "Do it to others before they do it to you.

"Winners make it happen;
Losers let it happen.

Winners plan and prepare to win.The key word is preparation.

Korean Man Dies Homeless With $100,000 in the Bank

SEOUL —

April 2009,

It has been reported in the international herad tribune that aa homeless South Korean man named Na Hae-dong died of cancer without being able to use a single penny of his life savings of $100,000 because he could not prove his identity to his bank, officials said Wednesday.

He was saving money into his bank account for a long time. In 1993, South Korea introduced an anti-corruption law that makes an account holder to prove that the account had been opened under the holder’s real name before withdrawing money. People were given a grace period during which they could transfer their money to real-name accounts. But it seems that he was not aware of that. After diagonising of cancer, he went to bank to take his savings. But he could not get because, officially, he did not exist. Local officials filed for court approval to give him an identity. Mr. Na died in the hospital on April 28 before before the court ruled .His savings were expected to be donated to the state.
