What foods to eat to boost immunity?

What foods to eat to boost immunity?


If our body's immune system is strong, we can fight against various diseases. The immune system helps to fight against various diseases and bacteria. We need to increase our immunity to stay healthy.

For this, not only healthy eating but also adopting a healthy lifestyle is essential. Immunity also varies with age. As the body gets older, it becomes a little weaker. But proper nutrition, exercise, adequate sleep, positive thinking, and self-reliance also help maintain this ability.


The disease can affect people of any age. But those who have a strong immune system, if they are not infected with other diseases, they will not be affected by the disease. Patients with diabetes, thyroid, asthma should pay attention to their diet and lifestyle.



Coronavirus (Covid-19) infections are more common in people with low immunity. No cure has yet been found for its treatment. The body's immune system is important in reducing the risk of Covid-19 infection.
There are statistics that Covid-19 is more persecuting the chronically ill. So it is important to pay attention to your diary and food. We Nepalis pay less attention to food and lifestyle. There is a habit of eating too much fried food, processed food, junk food, and not exercising. So you need to change your daily routine to stay healthy and strengthen your immune system.


How to adopt a healthy lifestyle?


By adopting a healthy lifestyle, you can naturally strengthen your immune system and make it healthy.


Do's and don'ts

Don't smoke
Exercise regularly.
To increase the number of vegetables and fruits in the diet.
To keep the weight in balance.
Do not drink alcohol, even if you do it in small amounts.
Get enough sleep and rest.
Think positive
No stress.
Wash hands with soap and water to prevent infection.


What kind of food to eat


The government is in a state of stagnation now. You can't even go out of the house. Some may even try to get food. Some may have food at home. Homemade food contains more nutrients than market food. So if we eat the food at home well, it becomes healthy. Since food also determines our immune system, we should eat a healthy diet. Eat a balanced diet of protein, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins. If there are no calories in the body, the body becomes weak.


Vitamin C.


Many people are now looking for vitamin C medicines in the market, but vitamin C found in natural foods is more beneficial and beneficial. For this, you should eat amla, lemon water, kiwi, junar, nuts, green vegetables, and greens.


Vitamin D


Vitamin D-rich foods should be eaten to increase immunity. Vitamin D can be found in the sun. It is also beneficial to sit in the light sun for a while.


Vitamin E


Vitamin E is considered to be a good vitamin for the skin. Dark green vegetables all come into it. Vitamin E is found in sunflower seeds, okra, almonds, avocado, broccoli, and spinach.


Vitamin B6


It produces blood cells. People with blood-related diseases have lower immunity. Such people should eat milk, sakharkhand, pistachio, gram, corn, and tofu. If blood cells don't work, no nutrients work. So it is very necessary.


Vitamin B12


Vitamin B12 is found especially in non-vegetarian foods. It is found in fish, meat, eggs, milk, and dairy products. It also boosts the immune system. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia.


Minerals


Foods rich in minerals should also be eaten regularly to boost the body's immune system. Almonds, bean seeds, okra, almonds are rich in minerals.


Protein


Almonds, cashews, gram, sprouted beans are rich in protein. Protein can also be obtained from pulses, eggs, and fish. But since it can cause infection, it should be eaten carefully. After eating, it should be eaten only after cooking it with great pleasure. If you have any disease in the body, you should eat foods high in protein only on the advice of a doctor and a nutritionist.



Probiotic foods


Probiotic food improves digestion and improves the digestive system. Yogurt, cheese, gundrak, etc. improve digestion.


Natural antibiotics


Natural antibiotics work to balance blood circulation, balance sounds, and keep arteries healthy by reducing pain. They work to stave off external infections and prevent cell degeneration. Therefore, special attention should be paid to these foods. These elements can be found in garlic, ginger, turmeric, and water.

Gedagudi and dal are available in almost everyone's home. When germinated and eaten, it contains fiber, protein, and antioxidants. Such foods are also healthy.



Eat nutritious, liquid soups in your daily diet. The hot liquid warms the body, which does not cause a common cold. Vitamin and iron found in soup strengthen the immune system. Similarly, daily exercise, physical exercises like yogurt also helps to calm the mind and make it worry-free. It also strengthens the body's immune system.


Similarly, the habit of eating only freshly cooked food, not junk, and processed food should be developed from childhood. Children should be taught to walk for 30 minutes and exercise indoors instead of playing on television and mobile. Similarly, you should drink enough water. Feed children and the elderly every 2 to 3 hours. Feeding little by little but often. It is better to give hot food, walk for a while, ginger water, turmeric water to the old people as they get cold quickly.

Use of AI (Artificial intelligence) in Nepal

Artificial intelligence


According to researchers, AI does just what it is designed to do. Scientist Khanal says, ‘Ordinary people cannot recognize the whereabouts of the head and hands of a child in the womb during the ultrasound. If there is software for that, it can be recognized. When trying to post a photo on Facebook, Facebook tries to identify the person and tag them.

How will Artificial Intelligence (AI) affect human creation once it begins its creative work? This question has been raised since the advent of AI as the latest development in science. The question was raised in public when China's state-run Xinhua news agency unveiled an AI news presenter in November 2018.


In 2016, Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based company, built the robot, Sophia. He was even granted citizenship by Saudi Arabia in October 2017. Two years ago, Sofia was brought to Nepal for the UNDP's 'Technology for Public Service' conference, with which many Nepalis interacted. "As Nepal has made good progress in the field of technology, if it is adopted in the right way in the coming days, it can make a big leap forward in development," said Sofia. This sparked the debate on AI in Nepal.

The AI ​​Debate also got a place in the Nepal Literary Festival held in Pokhara in the last week of last December. The debate, entitled ‘Artificial Intelligence and the New Definition of Art’, raised concerns about whether humans would be driven by AI, but researcher Dr. Vinod Bhattarai tried to convince people that the use of AI will make them comfortable.

Before that, the first international AI conference was held in Nepal in October. Research and experience on AI and its various dimensions were presented at the conference organized by British College. The AI ​​conference is being organized by the government next July. Organizing committee member and scientist Suresh Manandhar informed us that the purpose of the conference is to raise investment by giving information about its possibilities and challenges. According to him, international level researchers will participate in the conference.

 

Use of AI in Nepal


Of course, AI is a new topic for Nepal. There has not been enough research on this. The Nepal Applied Mathematics and Information Institute for Research (NAMI) is conducting research in Nepal. Similarly, an organization called Fuse Machine is active in producing and researching AI engineers. The organization, led by researcher and scientist Sameer Maskey, is also active in creating various apps.

Researchers estimate that AI can be effective in Nepal if used properly. As Nepal is multilingual, the use of AI in language translation can be effective. Khanal has a special opinion. He says AI can also be used to study the effects of climate change and human migration. Another area he sees potential in agriculture and health. "At a time when there is a shortage of manpower in agriculture, small robots can be built and used for mining and other purposes," he said.

What is AI?


The founder of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is American computer scientist John McCarthy (1927–2011). He was accompanied by Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, and Alan Newell Herbert A. Simon. McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence" in 1955.

It includes software that can perform intellectual and emotional tasks just like humans. AI includes software that smells, touches, listens, sees, and imagines. Google's language translation software is one of them.


According to researchers, AI does just what it is designed to do. Scientist Khanal says, ‘Ordinary people cannot recognize the whereabouts of the head and hands of a child in the womb during an ultrasound. If there is software for that, it can be recognized. When trying to post a photo on Facebook, Facebook tries to identify the person and tag them. That kind of identification is done by software. But the software does just that. '

Development of AI


From the 1950s onwards, scientists began researching and using machines that could speak, hear, think, and imagine like humans.

In the 1990s, AI was used in chess, where human intelligence was used extensively. Then I started thinking about the unlimited dimensions of AI. However, the development of AI accelerated only in the decade of 2010. Deep learning and machine learning also became ubiquitous in the 2010s. Just as a small child learns things when he or she grows up, the machine also has a human-learning AI phase, called 'machine learning'. Deep learning is used to teach something in depth.


Autonomous driving is the latest achievement of AI. It includes the concept of driverless driving. Similarly, chat but AI is also being used. This AI is considered to be effective in informing the service recipients about their services.

Along with AI, researchers have started thinking about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Super Intelligence. Under this, a machine that can think beyond the human mind is being conceived.

Challenges and possibilities in AI


Surveys have made many feel insecure and challenged by the development of have been made public. The opinion that employment will collapse after all the work is done through AI has also come together. However, the bright side of AI is very visible. Researchers say that this will help in the rapid development of sectors such as trade, education, and transportation. Scientist Khanal says, ‘There are many companies that have achieved success by combining AI with entrepreneurship. In the context of Nepal itself, by using it, Nepal can participate in the fourth industrial revolution and accelerate the pace of development.

Digital leap of Nepali cinema

Digital leap of Nepali cinema


With the production and screening of Bhushan Dahal-directed films 'Kagbeni' and Alok Nemwang-directed 'Sano Sansar', Nepali cinema took a new turn in 'Digital Journey'.

According to the filmmakers, the digital technology used in the films made in 2008 has made the Nepali cinema industry more professional and organized. Director Ashok Sharma says that the use of digital technology has increased the quality along with the number of movies. He says, ‘Before the advent of digital devices, only 25 and 26 movies were made here annually. But now there are more than a hundred. '

Director Dipendra K Khanal has the experience of making a difference in the technical side of cinema production after a gap of 25 years. "The use of digital technology has raised hopes along with the quality of the film when it was time for a crisis in cinema," said Dipendra.

The period from the beginning of production in Nepali cinema to the beginning of the digital journey was very challenging and arduous. Cinematographer Deepak Bajracharya, who has deep experience of the time before and after the introduction of digital technology, says, "In the old technology, the director should have relied entirely on the cinematographer, but this is not the case now."


Cinema in old technology


In the old technology, celluloid cameras were used to capture the negative. According to cinematographer Bajracharya, the film shot in negative should have been exposed at the beginning. Later it was developed and printed. For the first time, work prints came out. Editing was done on that basis. Only then was the final print worth watching in the theater released.

At that time, it was not known whether the film was shot or not. ‘There was no camera to watch on the video-assisted monitor. That's why the director had to rely entirely on the cinematographer ', says Bajracharya.

Initially, the video was shot at 35 mm. Later, the directors started shooting at 16 mm. The manufacturers had estimated that the budget would be halved as soon as it was halved. However, this made the scene of the film worse. Not only film production but also screening was equally difficult. The same film could not be shown in all the halls at once.

According to director Sharma, it used to cost Rs 10 lakh and Rs 12 lakh to make a print of the film. At that time, reel prints of movies were made from 2nd and 3rd to 5th. The same reel had to be carried. Two reels were kept in Kathmandu and two were sent outside.

"The investment would not have been raised in time if we had not been able to screen the film at once," says Sharma. There was also a problem of reel breaking and scratching. We were making low-quality films ourselves. 'At that time, the sound of the cinema was not catchy and attractive. Because the sound was recorded and played on tape.


The change brought by the camera


When director Dipendra K Khanal came to Nepal from Japan in 2008, he brought an HD camera. Until then, films were made on celluloid in Nepal. When he made his first film in digital HD, he faced a big challenge. Along with him, the new directors of Chhimal were boycotted due to digital technology. ‘The film I shot with an HD camera was called a short film. It was said that the technology was brought to spoil the cinema, 'he recalled.

Director Ashok Sharma was also looking for a solution after Nepali cinemas started losing money. "Before the foreign cinema, our cinema did not exist. There is no alternative but to change technology. Then around 2008, we introduced digital technology. But, other filmmakers did not accept, 'recalls Sharma.

At the same time, there were rumors that celluloid could not be replaced by digital. There was a great deal of debate about technology.

Director Khanal took the debate as a conflict between the new and old generations. ‘Old makers used to make films on celluloid. We have started using digital technology, "he said." Conflicts have also increased because of mutual ego. "

Many working on celluloid believed that the depth that comes when pulling on a reel does not come in digital. "It simply came to our notice then. Because, at that time, digital technology was also under construction, 'he says.

QFX operator and filmmaker Nakim Uddin, Bhaskar Dhungana, Rajesh Siddhi, and others had a role in making the technology digital. "We've worked hard to digitize the halls since the film was shot. We have also operated the first multiplex of QFX, 'says operator Nakim Uddin.

They tried to change the cumbersome process of showing the film from the reel to the hall. For this, a digital system was installed in the hall. According to Director Sharma, a modern system was installed in 2 and 4 halls. However, the lack of films to be shown on digital systems added to the challenge. ‘Celluloid used to make films.

No one wants to convert it to digital. We have brought equipment including cameras from abroad so that the production can be done digitally and shown digitally only after the production is done digitally, 'says Sharma. At the same time, a digital camera called SI Tuke was introduced in Nepal through DCN Company.

It was no less difficult to convince producers who did not want to work through digital cameras. "We also distribute the film to digital filmmakers and pay Rs 4 lakh in advance to a producer," he said. And finally, some producers are ready, 'recalls Sharma.

Subsequent films, Kagbeni and Sano Sansar, greatly improved the quality of Nepali cinema. After that, the attention of other producers was also drawn towards the new technology.

After the commercial success of films like 'Loot' and 'Slippery Height', the influence of digital technology increased. With the onset of the crisis, digital technology made the industry move. "The viewers who were watching the four-sided and crimson video were very happy to see the clean screen," says Dipendra.


After that, Red's 'Pho K' camera entered Nepal. Then came 'Six K'. Recently, Dipendra used an AT-K camera in the production of the film 'Aama'. ‘Until now, we have not only cameras but also lenses or many other good devices in the Nepali film industry. I have a high-end camera set in Hollywood, 'says Dipendra.

Producers' investment in cinema halls has been declining due to digital technology. ‘Rs 10 and 12 lakh were spent on re-print. Digital technology does not cost print. In many halls, it was possible to run the film at the same time, 'says Sharma.' Reel also affected the film business. Now the film business is up to 220 million.

According to cinematographer Bajracharya, the last Nepali film to be shot in celluloid format is 'Goodbye Kathmandu'. Cinema making in the world today is done through digital technology. However, some directors in Hollywood and Bollywood are still drawn in the negative.

Less improvement in sound
Earlier, the sound of the film was played in 'Monona'. Which is why the sound of the film sounded hoarse. However, with the advent of digital technology, 5.1 sound systems began to be practiced. Gradually the tape was displaced. The sound was recorded on the computer. Amrit Shrestha, an active sound engineer in the field of cinema, says that it has become easier to work after the sound has been recorded on the hard disk of the computer. ‘Before, a long song had to be sung all at once. Now you can sing in pieces. The dub also has a lot of mixing and sound designing technology. We are currently working on 5.1. It can also create good entertainment, 'he says.

However, sound engineer Pradip Kumar Upadhyaya is of the opinion that there is still a lot of work to be done in a recording. According to him, there is a lack of technical knowledge about sound. He is of the opinion that the producers and filmmakers have not made the sound a priority in the film. "The film manages to entertain as well as inform. It does not seem to have been written with the technical aspect in mind. But, it is better when the film is written with both sides in mind, 'says Upadhyay.

Director Khanal also admits that Nepali cinema is weak in favor of sound. ‘There is a big difference between the sound of Bollywood and Kollywood’, if we listen to the sound of Nepal, we get a lot of difference. The reason why our sound is not original is because of design problems, 'he says.' The sound design needs time and technology to do it using our own original instruments. We lack that. '

Sound engineer Shrestha says that the biggest problem is not being able to become a professional. He feels that the technical side is not given much priority. "There is no discussion with technicians in filmmaking," he says. "We lack expertise." You have to do everything yourself. I had to look after the department alone. That's why I couldn't be creative. '

Challenging digital journey


Director Manoj Pandit understands that technology has added a lot of ease to the 25-year journey of the cinema industry. He says that cinema technology, which was only available to a limited number of people in the past, is now in the hands of ordinary people. ‘Before, cameras needed a lot of light. The team of technicians was also big. At that time, it was not enough for the common man, 'says Pandit.' Cinema was made only for the interest of a limited number of people. Because of that, it was profitable along with the interests of the classes. It was arbitrary on the basis of efficiency. '


However, critic Anup Subedi does not accept that the development of technology has increased the quality of cinema. "New cameras and technology have come, but how creatively we have used that technology," asks Subedi.

He does not accept that the market of Nepali cinema has increased. He says, ‘Nepali cinema is not yet available in a large part of the Terai. Its market is only around Mahendra Highway and in Kathmandu. Technology has had little effect on the market. "

Director Khanal also admits that even though there are enough technical equivalents now, the results are not satisfactory. He is of the view that the problem behind this is the lack of new manpower on the technical side. This time around, more than 50 new directors made their debut in the film. Producers and artists are also trying to direct themselves. However, no one wants to become a cinematographer or editor in the technical field. Nepali films always despise the technical side, 'Khanal explained.

Cinematographer Bajracharya is of the view that the technology introduced in Nepal has also been misused. ‘When the drone first entered a Nepali film. Drone scenes began to appear in every film. It was so repetitive that it was boring to watch, 'he says. According to Bajracharya, no matter how much new material is used, it doesn't make sense if it doesn't attract the audience.

There is technology, there is no quality cinema: Anup Subedi
Digital media has made filmmaking technically easier.

Huawei has risen to number two in the smartwatch market, overtaking Samsung

Chinese technology company Huawei is second only to Samsung in the global smartphone market. But in the smartwatch market, Huawei has managed to overtake Samsung.

Huawei's wearable market share has been growing rapidly since the beginning of 2020. According to a recent Wearable Device Tracker report released by the International Data Corporation, Huawei has overtaken Samsung in the market for wearables, including smartwatches and wireless earphones.

Apple remains at the top of the wearables market. Samsung has dropped to third place with Huawei rising to second place.


According to the IDC report, 72.6 million wearable devices were sold in the first quarter of 2020. This is 29.7 percent more than the same period last year. Huawei sold 62.20 percent more wearables in the first quarter of this year than in the same period last year.

In the first three months of 2020 alone, 16.9 million smartwatches were sold worldwide. However, this number is 7.1 percent lower than last year. During this period, Huawei has sold 2.6 million smartwatches.

Huawei sold 118.5 percent more smartwatches in the same quarter last year. At the same time, Huawei has become the only company to sell 100 percent more smartwatches in the first quarter of 2020 than last year. Agency

Facebook bans advertising in Chinese and Russian media

The social networking site Facebook has banned Chinese and Russian state-run media outlets from targeting US users.

Russia and China, along with other government-controlled media outlets, have announced that they will begin "naming government" on Facebook platforms and will ban US-targeted advertising on such media outlets from next summer.


Facebook's official media outlets include Russia's Sputnik, Iran's Press TV and China's Xinhua. Two hundred other similar government media websites will be labeled as government.

However, Facebook will not immediately "label" any US news organization. Facebook claims that even the media run by the US government has editorial freedom.

In the 2016 US presidential election, Facebook was criticized by Russians for abusing Facebook and influencing the election results. Facebook has already admitted its weakness in the incident. Learning from the same incident, Facebook is taking strong steps to prevent the misuse of Facebook by countries including China and the United States to influence the upcoming US presidential election. Facebook has adopted a policy of strict transparency in pages and advertisements for publishing advertisements on its platform.


Remember that the US presidential election is taking place next November.

The listing of state-controlled media, including China and Russia, does not include media run by any leader or political party.

China, meanwhile, has criticized Facebook's move. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman told a news conference on Friday that social media companies should not create certain media barriers.

Russian media outlet Sputnik has issued a statement calling on governments around the world to take control of Facebook, a US-led operation to curb freedom of speech.

However, Facebook is not alone in treating state-controlled media differently. In 2018, YouTube began identifying government-invested YouTube channels. However, critics say YouTube has failed to identify some government-controlled YouTube channels that contain false propaganda news and information videos.

With Facebook's decision to label government-controlled media, there will now be signs of government control on the pages and news feed posts of such media that appear on Facebook.

Having an online meeting? Voice call or other charges!

Due to the global impact of coronavirus disease (Covid-19), the practice of people doing many things online through the internet has increased. One of them is online meeting and conferencing through various apps.

Nowadays, the use of online classes, online meetings and video conferencing for school and campus students has increased widely, whether it is online meetings, video calls in groups with relatives, family members, relatives at home or abroad.

There are many apps and platforms available on the Internet for online meetings. Meetings or conferences can be held from most of the platforms using the internet without any charge other than the internet. However, online meetings from some premium apps or software may incur additional charges.

Before using the online conferencing platform for your meetings or conversations, you need to look closely at the terms of the respective apps or platforms. Dialing international numbers for meetings or dialing international numbers from the respective service provider's customer service center may incur voice call charges or other charges.


Recently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), India's telecom regulator, said caution should be exercised when using online meeting platforms, saying customers' voice service bills could rise unexpectedly. According to him, on such platforms, customers have been complaining about the charges for voice calls when they unknowingly call international numbers.

In Nepal too, the use of such online meeting platforms for various purposes is on the rise. In the current situation, mobile customers and users need to understand the charges related to the numbers and helplines associated with such platforms. Otherwise, there is a risk that in the case of prepaid customers, the balance from mobile may decrease and in case of postpaid, more bills may come.

Telecom company Ncell has also asked its customers to be vigilant during the increasing trend of online meetings. The company has advised its customers to be aware of this from their Facebook page and to check the terms and conditions while using such platforms.

Since such online meeting platforms and service providers' respective workplaces and customer service centers are located abroad, their numbers are premium or international. Of course, calling such numbers for information, knowingly or unknowingly, may incur higher charges for calling a premium number or international calls.

Politics and history of Nepal’s Kalapani claim

The Nepali media also backed the country's historic claim to the region, but the coverage of governments in Kathmandu without much emphasis on Nepal's rightful claim to the region has been measured with much blame.


Former Director General of Nepal Topographic Survey, Punya Prasad Oli said there was a "gentleman's agreement" between Nepal and Indian authorities to publish maps after the joint issue of border / delimitation operations and strip maps of their joint border. . After India released its map in November, Nepal was no help, but released its edition.

It was only in 1981 that the two countries formed the Nepal-India Technical Level Joint Boundary Group, which decided to locate the borders, maintain the dilapidated and missing boundary columns and freeze the areas where they were built.

As clearly stated, Nepal's position in relation to Kalapani, Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura is based on a map of British East India, published after the Treaty of Sougouli of 1816 - especially the British map of 1857.


Deepak Gurung needs to be educated in Nepal

On the other hand, India's position is based on a map of the British Survey of India 1857–1881 and beyond. It should be remembered that Nepal's Topographic Survey published the first map of Nepal in 1976, but the artist, Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura were not shown. On the other hand, Nepal maps published in textbooks during the Panchayat period contain these areas. The new political map has an appendix-like piece from the northwest corner of Nepal.

There is no other treaty that Nepal has entered into with British India, claiming that Nepal has changed its western boundary due to natural causes. Although the flow of rivers has changed in some sections of Terai following the Treaty, the status of the river is taken as a boundary at the time of the Treaty, according to international boundary principles.


An Indian argument is that British cartographers continued to move the Kashi River to the east for strategic reasons, so Nepal should accept it without question.

There are no records in Nepal to suggest that these boundaries were jointly made between the British East India Company and Nepal. There is no water on the international border crossing due to a change in the route of the mountain river. Although these changes along the river route are described in maps published by the Survey of India under British rule, they cannot be used as a reference for determining international boundaries.


Two Nepal-India allies face Alisha Sizapati

Perhaps Indian Army Chief General M.N. Narvana made a very serious statement last week, which suggested that Nepal was influenced by the 'Third Party' in bringing about the issue of artisans. It is not only in Nepal but also in India where the former Indian Ambassador to Nepal is. A-Salah said, creating a ruckus.

According to Biswabandhu Thapa, who was the Home Minister in the reign of King Mahendra in Nepal in 1962, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru wrote a personal letter to King Mahendra. Ask for the Indian War.

First-Time Mountain Climbers

WAY TO THE TOP
 TIPS FOR Climbers-BEGINNERS
The idea of ascension a mountain may be exciting nonetheless daunting at identical time.
You recognize that there’s a reward-able read and scenery after you get to the highest, however you’re troubled regarding the complete method and also the climb itself.


Jog before you climb
This is however you'll condition your body and build your stamina for the uphill climb. This  is often very necessary particularly if you don’t typically estimate, as a result of you don’t wish to shock your body of the sweat it’s to progressing to bear. Certify to jog many times within the weeks resulting in your climb.
Examine the mountain you’re progressing to climb
This is necessary as a result of it’s best to understand regarding the options specific to the path, just like the presence of climactic (blood leeches), watercourse or waterway crossing and walking, convenience of water supply, entrance fees, etc.
 Waterproof your things whether or not rain or shine
Even if it doesn’t rain, you ne'er grasp if you’re progressing to run into a puddle or stream that you just need to cross, or worse, may slip into. Don’t simply defend yourself, defend your things too by exploitation waterproof materials. You can’t afford to become dehydrated by the climb. Dehydration will offer you fatigue, headache, and even confusion. It’ll be arduous to search out a supply of contemporary and clean water too. Bring your own water and certify you drink after you have to be compelled to. You don’t wish to be a burden to your fellow climbers if ever you begin obtaining dizzy because of dehydration!

Nothing like stretching to urge you tense up and heat up your muscles for the hours of hiking that lies prior to you! Strive doing dynamic stretches rather than static stretches. Dynamic stretches need you to maneuver through the stretches rather than holding them for ten seconds, that is what you'd waste static stretches.
Samples of dynamic stretches area unit alternating knee raise, squat to hip flex-or muscle, alternating high kicks, trunk twist, and alternating quad stretch. Basic medicines, band-aids, cotton, beta-dine, and something you're thinking that you may would like are going to be value their weight in gold if ever one thing unhealthy comes up. Don’t ever forget to bring your attention kit!
Greet individuals you pass on the path
You’ll in all probability encounter locals and fellow climbers on your path. Create it a pleasing expertise for everybody and greet them “Good Morning”, “Good Afternoon”. Never throw it within the mountains and close community! Bring a instrumentality like plastic wherever you'll store your trash.
Be respectful of the atmosphere and bear in mind that you’re simply a guest within the mountain you’re exploring.
It would be sensible to stay the seven Leave No Trace Principles in mind: arrange ahead, travel and camp on sturdy surfaces, get rid of waste properly, leave what you discover, minimize fire impacts, respect life, and be considerate of alternative guests.
Acumen to heed the decision of nature
If you've got to heed the decision of nature, ne'er bang on the path. Realize a spot wherever individuals won’t be fazed by what you permit.

While regular training and strong hiking gear are essential requirements for a successful mountain trip, there are some important things that beginners can ignore along the way.
Here are tips to help you plan a safe and enjoyable trip for those with a lot of misunderstandings on the mountains. In the meantime, make sure you pack these hiking essentials. You’ve probably climbed that hill countless times in the back of your house, and winning the Stepper Mounts is less exhausting than the previous one.
Are you accustomed to walking up the slope in the same agility?
The first thing a mountain climbing coach will probably tell you is that walking up the mountain is difficult. Therefore, closing the hill program at the trade mill is not enough. This will help improve your balance and prevent you from skidding on rocks and grit. Getting down a steep mountain with no training can lead to knee injury and calf injury. It is always advisable to identify the weak points of your body and find ways to strengthen them before the big day.
Even in the absence of snow, it is colder than you might expect.
If it makes sense that you want to travel lightly, waterproof trousers and thick wool jackets can save lives. In spite of all the rough walking you do, the cold is getting into your bones. Even in the absence of snow, it is colder than you might expect.
In spite of all the rough walking you do, the cold is getting into your bones. Freezing temperatures and strong winds are unstoppable obstacles for a beginner. Mountain gear is expensive, but if you plan on trekking to a lifetime hobby, it's worth investing in weather-friendly clothing. If you encounter strong winds as soon as you reach the peak, proceed with caution. A strong emotion can easily get you to your feet. If necessary, descend from all sides and work your way up.

High altitude sickness leads to decreased appetite and persistent nausea.
Still, try to eat some light on your way out. Treat yourself with some chocolate and gum sweets to boost your energy needs. Once you start your descent, you will most likely enjoy it. By the time you reach the peak, your body consumes a lot of energy. Remember that going downhill also requires considerable fuel. Set aside some space in your rucksack for snacks that are high in carbohydrate and nutritional value. These include mixed nuts, dried fruits, crackers, cereal bars and raisins. I love these fruits and nut snack bars by Wild Trail.

At first it may seem like a bad idea.
It can be difficult to stop for a few minutes. Do not try to fall to the ground or lean on the rocks. Sitting down can be very tempting, but doing so will keep your toes or your entire body very cold. The only way to beat the cold temperatures is to keep going. That being said, take small breaks regularly as you go up. Stand up, lift your chest and take in the fresh mountain air. If you carry a heavy bag, give your back and shoulders well-deserved breaks. Extend your back and extend your shoulders back down. And until you do, extend your legs, scratch your toes, and move forward with a smile that will assure the next step.
Climbing a mountain also requires a good dose of mental energy.
It is important to embrace the challenge with will and optimism. However, once you embark on your trek, it will be difficult to maintain that will. When the excitement of the wind rips your face and you breathe in, the humming noise inside your head forces you to return. One thing to avoid is the temptation to keep looking at the huge slopes in front of you. All you want to do is still be interested in the mile. Instead of concentrating on your feet, and connect with the earth beneath your feet.
Another way to reduce stress is to focus on your breathing. Squeeze deeply through your nose and through your mouth. Let the fresh mountain air clear your s lungs. Regulated breathing can also help reduce your heart rate. If you are with a group, provide ongoing support to your peers.
Team Spirit plays an important role in such campaigns.
This may seem obvious, but it is not always possible to enjoy the view while you are in the middle of a laborious trek. Stop for a few minutes to admire the greatness of the mountain. Give your body enough time to absorb the forces of nature. It energizes you and prepares you to climb the peak. I wouldn’t go anywhere without my Canon EOS 1200D, which I bought in 2015 and is still going strong despite all sorts of things.

There comes a time in the life of some backpackers when they see a sign of a snowy peak and wonder what it would take to get there.
If you are dreaming of lofty goals, perhaps it is time to try mountaineering. In some ways, climbing a mountain is no different than backpacking. You will often start on the sidewalk with a pack of gear on your back and you will need time to travel. But, the goal of backpacking is to complete a scenic loop or move out of the way, the goal of mountaineering is to get to the top of the peak, and you often get there by traveling on ice, and maybe that glacier or snow.
Hiking is very physically and mentally demanding, working long hours at a slower pace and getting on the mountain with a heavy pack on your back.
And before you go, you need to learn technical skills like how to use ice axes and how to protect yourself from a climber. But the reward of reaching the summit and your accomplishment in completing the journey will be understandable to all. If mountain climbing seems like something you want to try, here's how:
Hire a Guide or Take a Class: A qualified guide will guide you and teach you the skills needed to climb a mountain.
If you want to go without a guide, first sign up for a class (or many) on how to ride ice and glaciers, how to use ice axes and how to protect a climber from a crack. Start hiking with a loaded pack and prepare yourself for mentally long, challenging days.
Get the gear you need: mountaineering shoes, ice ax, cramps and a saddle are just a few of the things you need. You can take some of these or provide them if you are going with the guide service.
Pick a route: Whether you are signing up for a guided climb or choosing a climb to climb with your own climbing crew, it is important to choose a route. Hiking on your own not only thrills the alpine experience but also gives you a sense of deep accomplishment. But, before you attempt your own ascent, you first need to learn the technical skills and how to travel in the mountains.
Although it is possible to learn from an experienced teacher or friend, we recommend that you sign up for classes taught by trained professionals. There are many organizations, schools and clubs that provide this training; Offer a few month-long courses that will teach you what you need to know and culminate. It is possible to combine several small classes for required learning.

If you are taking the guide service, some gear may be provided or available for rent, so check with them before buying. Depending on what you plan to climb, what you really need to take is different, but here are some personal things you can do:
Mountaineering shoes: A comfortable, sturdy pair of mountaineering shoes is essential for effective travel in the mountains. Mountaineering shoes are harder than backpacking shoes, which can be more helpful when you are running with cramps.
Climbing Harness: The standard rock-climbing harness can be used, but designed specifically for mountaineering is lighter and more comfortable.
Ice axes: A single ice ax designed for general mountaineering requires more time for self-arrest as you slope and slip. More technical lines may require two ice equipment.
Crampson: Steel or aluminum cramps provide traction when you are walking on steep snow or ice.
Aluminum crampons are lightweight, but not as durable as steel, so choose them only if you are sticking from medium to ice without any part of the stone. Make sure there are clips to attach the headlamps.
Consult guidebooks and websites: Books and websites are great resources because you can find all the information you need: difficulty, distance, height, directions, water resources, trail features, and more. Websites can also show recent travel reports, which give you a better idea of ​​what travel plans are like when you plan to leave.
Talk to locals and other climbers: Talking to people who know the area or who are a good way to get mountain trails. Also, try contacting local ranger districts in the area you want to travel to. Rangers have the most up-to-date information about the situation. Know the type of climbing required: ice travel to the path, glacier crossing or rock scrambling? Knowing what kind of climbing is required can help you decide if you have the necessary skills.

You can usually find this information in the guidebook or online route descriptions.
Research Permit: Mountaineering is a popular sport, and as the mountains become more crowded and more areas require user permission to allow traffic and lead to human impacts. Most frequent climbing mountains require some prior planning for permits and registration. Be sure to contact the appropriate agency or land manager before boarding. Find out how long it takes to climb: Some routes can be done in a day, others may take weeks.

A Brief Story of Nepali Map

To bring back the entire encroached Nepali territory, Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli asked for a three year long date.

The next three years are the last term of the current Oli government. Date not too long? Three years is 1 thousand 95 days, isn't it? On behalf of the Save the Border Campaign, when we demand the publication of a map of Nepal, we bring back the encroached land. I still vividly remember his rude answer. How difficult would it be to make a scrapbook map public? In the first phase, the current government of Nepal drew the map. The credit goes to Prime Minister Oli.




You were also credited with lifting the blockade by showing strength against India's blockade of Arghelo. Now is the time to take another credit. This time the victory is sure to be completely historic. Such rare opportunities are rarely received by even the fewest personalities in the world. May you be successful this time too. Best wishes. Let us displace the Indian presence in our land as per the Sugauli Treaty.

If implemented?

Nepal makes decisions but does not implement them. It has been eleven years since the declaration of Api-Nampa Conservation Area. That announcement was not made by the Council of Ministers at Singha Durbar or the Prime Minister's residence in Baluwatar. This was done at a special meeting held at Kalapathar in Solukhumbu. As per the jurisprudence of Nepal, such government decisions cannot be validated without being published in the Gazette. If the government had implemented its own law-abiding Api-Nampa Conservation Area, it would not be a hassle today. The area of ​​the Api-Nampa Conservation Area is 1,903 square kilometers.


The height of Api Himal standing in that area is 7,101 meters. The height of Nampa Himal is 6,757 meters while Vyas Himal is 6,670 meters high. These mountains are uniquely attractive for that terrain. The availability of many plants and herbs is another attraction of the place. If the conservation decision had been implemented by the government, it would have been almost ten years. How many wild animals, birds, butterflies and other insects are there? At the same time, the wise people of that region would establish and develop an intermediate zone. Until now, that area could have been a source of income.

Nepal has been wise enough to satisfy half of Kali and Mahakali, but still tries to chase India. Where is this policy from?

Why the army?

Even now, if the government prints a map of the encroached area and sits on its knees again, the current patriotic enthusiasm, enthusiasm, curiosity and activism will be as hot as a straw fire for a while. It is not like a fire of chaff. The Indian government is linking the issue to the armed forces. Isn't it about showing the army? That can be estimated. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the road built by India unilaterally.


After our Prime Minister demanded Nepal in the Federal Parliament on border encroachment, the response should have come from the then Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But the Indian government pushed its army chief Manoj Mukunda Narwane forward. I started to say from his mouth. It was claimed that the Pithoragarh-Lipulek road was built on Indian soil. Unsatisfied with this, the Indian Army Chief even said that Nepal opposed the construction of the road at the behest of someone. When Indian Prime Minister Modi himself was dissatisfied with the statement of Nepal's Prime Minister Oli, his equivalence would have remained the same. That response was justified. Here the army chief was put forward.

What about this century?

Has India shown bigotry by being small in Nepal's territory and small in population? Is the hangover of British colonialism over yet? Nepal has ratified the Sugauli Treaty. The issue of greater Nepal has not been raised. Fort Kangda, Sutlej Nalapani has not been claimed. Nepal says it will not turn a blind eye to Article 5 of the Sugauli Treaty. Nepal then belongs to the whole of Kali Nepal. But Nepal has been wise enough to satisfy half of Kali and Mahakali, but still tries to chase India. Where is this policy from? Coming, living in the land of Nepal, not writing the name of Kali river. Don't consider a small hollow as the definition of hydrology. To mess with the map alone.


Due to the absence of administrative and security organs of Nepal, the Government of India has taken exemption from setting up paramilitary, military, police camps, constructing structures of permanent type and temperament and doing everything as on its own redistributed land. All these must be taken into account. The civilian government of India is trying to show the robe of military rule by pushing the army in the Limpiadhura area, not trying to intimidate, it is trying to push which is inappropriate.

Oli was also credited with lifting the blockade by showing strength against India's blockade of Arghelo. Now is the time to take another credit. This time the victory is sure to be completely historic.


A concrete thing became public last Wednesday at Singha Durbar. Minister for Land Management, Poverty Alleviation and Cooperatives Padmakumari Aryal confirmed the addition of 310 square kilometers of encroached land by making public the political and administrative map of the far western region including Limpiyadhura, which was included in the Sugauli Treaty. The first phase of the movement to save the border was completed by making the map public. The mistake of missing that much area in the map that Nepal first published in 2032 BS was completed or established on Wednesday. In the year 2032, the Department of Survey of Nepal asked the upper body that it was a dilemma.


Draw a map with Limpiyadhura or without Limpiyadhura? From Uta came the instruction to make a map without Limpiyadhura now. After that, a map without a limp was drawn. Why didn't the dilemma come out? Even then, printing was done in India. Chuchche maps including Limpiyadhura were printed on maps printed in India. B.Sc. in Lipulec. In 2019, the Indian Army had fled the war with China. V.S. In 2019, a paramilitary group guarding the Tibetan border began to be armed.

Probably hit the bottom right now.

The upper level is the royal palace. Now, what does it mean for the court to print a map without limp? What is the meaning and meaning behind the instruction to make a map without limp? Or was it to save the Indo-Tibetan Border Police camp in Kalapani, India? When the then Foreign Minister Rishikesh Shah made a statement to King Mahendra, the king had issued an order to 'kill now'. Is it true that King Virendra also called Nich Mar? Why weren't 18 Indian military checkposts removed from Kalapani when they were removed from Nepal's northern border? Is it the same here? Otherwise, why a map without a limp? It was / was not customary to keep such incidental details in the court.

It's mysterious. Yes, who will reveal the secret? In fact, there should be an arrangement to keep a complete record of events. What is the meaning of map without limpiyadhura without printing? How did King Virendra also accept this? Did the Indian Indo-Tibetan Border Police instruct not to remove Kalapani? No records. The country was in a dilemma when the map of Limpiyadhuraharita was made public. Why was the map of Limpiyadhuraharahit and Sahita published without controversy? Stakeholders should give an explanation.

Both the kings said only border issue without pronouncing their names.

As soon as the issue of Mahakali comes up, King Mahendra and King Virendra are also suddenly drawn. Very few people are available to understand the nature of these two personalities. Those who understand the court say that the statement of the then Foreign Minister Rishikesh Shah that the order to kill Nich was issued after informing Mahendra that the Indian Army was stationed in Kalapani may not be true. King Mahendra did not have that nature. Instead of listening and not responding.


When he did not respond, he used to interpret the silence in his own way. Talking to a wise man who was in close contact with the king, he said to Tarak Bahadur Shah, "King Mahendra, how long should I obey the order of Rishikesh Shah? It was the father / son's view that India's security situation in Kalapani should be removed through peaceful diplomacy. During meetings and talks with the Prime Minister of India and the Presidents, both the kings used to raise the issue of borders but did not mention the names of the encroached places like Kalapani, Lipulek, Limpiyadhura Susta etc. The king of both generations said that peaceful diplomacy is the only solution.

Why the map?

Now let's go to the year 2032. The issue of Indian encroachment in the Limpiyadhura area will continue to arise from time to time. It is not known where the idea of ​​making a map of one's own country of Nepal came from in 2032 BS. But the mapping is done by the survey department. Counselors may need to draw their own maps. Yes, you have to draw your own map of the country. What a wonderful thing! But the administration had to ask the court. The court has given instructions. To include only the territories agreed upon between the two countries. But it seems that the basic thing that India will cover the part that Nepal has not covered has not been taken into consideration. Nepal has now left its invaluable land and made a map.


The king is called Bhupati. The hartakars of the survey department at that time said that they should not prepare a map covering the disputed land. The court did not understand or could not explain. The Department of Surveying and Mapping published a map without limp, which was a big mistake. Nepal was lagging behind in its own work. After that, sharp differences about the 'map' in Nepal became public. All these became the material of history. For the first time in the world, Nepal has taken its map to the world for the first time by formally making public on Wednesday that the government has finally included the areas left out in its previous map. Thanks for that.
