Nepal

Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries ranking 138 out of 177 in the human development index .Nepal is naturally beautiful country of 147,181 sq.km in the south Asia region having 885 km in the east- west direction and with a mean north-south width of 193 km. Nepal is renowed for it's socio-cultural diversity having having more than 101 ethnic groups, 92 languages , 10 religions and 3 geographical regions with a population of 23.1 milliom people living157 persons per sqkm which was just 40 in 1911. The 2001 census showed that 57.5% of the population belonged to caste, 2/3 of them living in hills and 1/3 living in the Terai.Dalits who make up 13.6% of the population are one the most disadvantages and backward groups. It has five development regions:Eastern, Central ,Western, Mid-western and Far-western development region.Nepal has 14 zones , 58 municipalities and 3915 village development regions which was further dividing into small political units called wards.

National standard living survey 2003/4 reports that poverty incidence decreased from 42% in 1995/6 to 31% in 2003/4, however rural urban disparity still exist.A significant increase in remmittances, increase in wages, improved connectivity and access to markets , urbanization ,and falling birth rtes were behind decline.Life expectancy at birth is 61.4 years ( female has lower) whereas adult literacy rate is 48% and 80% people are economically active in agriculture.

Bungee Jump in Nepal

What will you take to jump from a 160 m high bridge down to one of the fierest rivers in the world, with your feet tied to a nylon cord? A little bit of cash , a little bit of time , an appetite for adventure and a whole lot of courage !

Nepal offers the world's second highest bungee jump site with the world's longest free fall ( the time after you jump off the bridge and before your bungee cord is fully stretched). Back in November 1999 , the last Resort started the only bungee jumping service not just in Nepal, but the whole of South of Asia. The seasons for taking this jump is between March to May and September to November.

The site is located only about a 100 km away from Kathmandu , about 3 hours drive ( about 12 km from the Tato Pani border with Tibet). The bridge was constructed espically to bungee jumping ( it can hold a weight of 4.5 tonnes), but has also become a bridge with a cause as villagers that previously walked more than 5 hours to cross the river now need only a few minutes across the 166m long bridge.A Swiss -team-designed the bridge , the site from which thousand have jumped off to experience the thrill of free falling. So what are the things that you need to take care of before you jump? The cost ( about Rs 2,500 which includes transportation and a meal), the time ( though the jump itself may last only a few wonderful seconds, it's a day's trip to the place and back ), an official parent's permitt if you're under 18 and of course , the bungee cord!

The bungee cord is built here in Nepal , although the materials reqired the materials for it are imported from Abroad In fact , everything that is used for the jump has been brought from the foreign countries . The cord is made up of many rubber strings tied up together to from a cord of it's own.

Now you know everything . You pay Rs .2500 and your are driven more than 100km away from Kathmandu , and you have to jump off the bridge 166 meter above a ranging river when a bungeee master will help you to prepare yourself for the plunge!

Bengal Tiger

Bengal tiger is a subspecies of tiger. It ismostly found in India .

It looks very attractive and it is kept as a rare animals . It is taken as second largest species ot tiger.Previously it was considered the second largest subspecies, behind the Siberian tigers(Panthera tigris altaica), however a recent study suggests that maybe this subspecies could be, on average, the largest of the tigers.The total length for the males is of 270-310 cm meanwhile those of the females is of 240–265 cm; the tail measures 85–110 cm long and the height at the shoulder is 90–110 cm. The average weight is 221.2 kg (487.7 lb.) for the males and 139.7 kg (308 lb.) for the females, however those who inhabit the north of India and Nepal have an average weight of 235 kg (518 lb.) for the males and 140 kg (308.6 lb.) for the females. Its coat is yellow to light orange, and the stripes range from dark brown to black; the belly is white, and the tail is white with black rings. A mutation of the Bengal subspecies, the white tiger have dark brown or reddish brown stripes on a white background color, and some are entirely white. Black tigers have tawny, yellow or white stripes on a black background color. The pelage of a black tiger, recovered from smugglers, measured 259 cm and was displayed at the National Museum of Natural History, New Delhi. The existence of black tigers without stripes has been reported but not substantiated.
The Bengal tiger's roar can be heard for up to three kilometers (almost two miles) away
Bengal tigers donot live as family. They hunt in big territory . they pray big animals and birds also some insects. They are kept as rare animals so they are kept or protect by wwf.
Bengal tigers are classified as strict carnivores that it strictly depends on meat.Bengal tiger eats different types of animals like chittal, wild buffalo, wild boar,water buffalo, hares and birds like cuckoos , sparrow etc and some insects.It also known to take other predators like wolves,jackles, crocodiles,foxes, leopards

Protection of Leopard

Zoos worldwide call for leopard protection.AmurLeopard Conservaton Support Program Photo courtesy of the Amur Leopard Conservaton Support Program
Zoos and aquariums throughout the US and Europe have united around the Amur leopard and other endangered species in the Russian Far East. The Amur Leopard and Tiger Aliance (ALTA) has been working tirelessly for years to help stabilize and rebuild the Amur leopard population. All of this work stands to be destroyed if the Siberia-Pacific Pipeline is built according to current plans
Many of ALTA's partner organizations - such as the Zoological Society of London and Tigris - have written articles and sent letters demanding that the Siberia-Pacific Pipeline be rerouted for the sake of the leopard.
In July 2005, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA), the EFBC Feline Conservation Center, and over 20 US zoos sent letters to President Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi asking the leaders not to support the pipeline in its current form. The following zoos have spoken out against the pipeline route:
Abilene Zoological Gardens (Texas)
Binghamton Zoo (NY)
Buffalo Zoo
Erie Zoo (Pennsylvania)*
Glen Oak Zoo (Illinois)
Henry Doorly Zoo (Omaha)*
Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium (Tacoma)

The Black Leopard

A melanistic morph of the leopard occurs, particularly in mountainous areas and rain forests. The black color is heritable and caused by recessive gene loci.(While they are commonly called black panthers, tMelanistic leopards are particularly common on the Malayan Peninsula: early reports suggested up to half of all leopards there are black, but a 2007 camera-trap study in Taman Negara National Park found that all specimens were melanistic.Although the benefits of melanism are difficult to interpret, it may serve as camouflage in the rainforest habitat. Genetic research has found four independent origins for melanism in cats, suggesting that there must be some adaptive advantage. Another possibility is that the color variation is a relic adaptation to an epidemic; genes causing melanism can also affect the immune system.
In Africa, black leopards are much less common as melanism is not an adaptive advantage on the savanna: dark coloration provides poor camouflage and makes hunting difficult. Estimates are as low as one in 80 or 100. In the dense forests of the Ethiopian Highlands, however, the black leopard is much more common than in Africa generally; as many as one in five leopards may be melanistic.
Pseudo-melanism (abundism) occurs in leopards. The spots are more densely packed than normal and merge to obscure the background colour.he term is not exclusive to leopards; it also applies to melanistic jaguars.)

Snow Leopard Ecology

Snow Leopard Ecology
The smoky-gray snow leopard weighs about 35-55 kg (female: 35-40 kg, male: 45-55), measures about 1.8-2.3 m in length from head to tail and stands 60 cm at its shoulder. Snow leopards are characterized by a short, broad muzzle, short fore limbs and long hind limbs that provide agility in steep and rugged terrain. Their body fur is tinged with yellow with prominent dark grayish-black rosettes and spots. The characteristic long tail aids in balancing on cliffs and rugged places. Also, snow leopards wrap their body and face with the tail for comfort and warmth against the cold. Large paws perhaps help them walk better on snow. Mating occurs between January and March. Cubs are born in late spring or early summer, and may spend their first few weeks in rock crevices which serve as hidden den sites. Cubs become independent of their mothers at 18-22 months of age.Snow leopards (Uncia uncia) are found only in the mountains of central Asia and the Himalayas. It is estimated that there are about 4,510-7,350 snow leopards. The total potential snow leopard habitat is about 1,835,000 km 2 in 12 snow leopard range countries. In addition, some 600-700 animals survive in zoos around the world.

Snow Leopard

The snow leopard (Uncia uncia or Panthera uncia), sometimes known as ounce, is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The classification of this species has been subject to change and its exact taxonomic position will not be resolved until further studies are conducted.
Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central Asia. However, their secretive nature means that their exact numbers are not known, although it has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwideDiet
Snow leopards are carnivores and actively hunt their prey. However, like all cats, they are opportunistic feeders, eating whatever meat they can find including carrion and domestic livestock. They are capable of killing animals three times their size but will readily take much smaller prey such as hares and birds

Rocky Mountain

Mountains can be characterized in several ways. Some mountains are volcanoes and can be characterized by the type of lava. Other mountains are shaped by glacial processes and can be characterized by their glaciated features. Still others are typified by the faulting and folding of the Earth's crust, or by the collision of continental plates via plate tectonics (the Himalayas, for instance). Shape and placement within the overall landscape also define mountains and mountainous structures (such as butte and monadnock). Finally, mountains can be characterized by the type of rock that make up their composition

Lambir Hills

The Lambir Hills National Park is located along the Miri-Bintulu Road, some 30km south of Miri Town. The park was gazetted and published to public on 15 May 1975. It covers an area of about 6,952 hectares which consists of the central portion of the Lambir Hills, a rugged east-west trending sandstone escarpment with a maximum height of 465 metres.

This park has an outstanding regional and global conservation significance for its extraordinary species-rich forest, ideal for botanist and researchers throughout the world. Moreover, the park has a high potential value for recreational, educational and research purposes

Games and Sports

Hillwalking is a British English term for a form of hiking which involves the ascent of hills. The activity is usually distinguished from mountaineering as it does not involve ropes or technically difficult rock climbing, although the terms mountain and hill are often used interchangeably in Britain. Hillwalking is popular in mountainous areas such as the English Peak District or the Scottish Highlands. Many hills are categorised according to relative height or other criteria and feature on lists named after mountaineers, such as Munros (Scotland) or Wainwrights (England). Specific locating activities such as "peak bagging" (or "Munro bagging") involve climbing hills on these lists with the aim of completing (or "compleating") the list.Cheese rolling is an annual event in the West Country of England which involves rolling a wheel of cheese down a hill. Contestants stand at the top and chase the wheel of cheese to the bottom. The winner, the one who catches the cheese, gets to keep the wheel of cheese as a prize

Millitary significance Of Hills

Hills provide a major advantage to an army, giving them an elevated firing position and forcing an opposing army to charge uphill to attack them. They may also conceal forces behind them, allowing a force to lay in wait on the crest of a hill, using that crest for cover, and firing on unsuspecting attackers as they broach the hilltop.
As a result, conventional military strategies often demand possession of high ground. Hills have become sites for many noted battles, such as the first recorded military conflict in Scotland known as the battle of Mons Graupius. Modern conflicts include the Battle of Bunker Hill (which was actually fought on Breed's Hill) in the American War for Independence and Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill in the Battle of Gettysburg, the turning point of the American Civil War. The Battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War won Americans control of Santiago. The Battle of Alesia was also fought from a hilltop fort.

Significance Of Hills

HillHills have played an important role in history.
Many settlements were originally built on hills, either to avoid or curb floods, particularly if they were near a large body of water, or for defence, since they offer a good view of the surrounding land and require would-be attackers to fight uphill. For example, Ancient Rome was built on seven hills, protecting it from invaders.
In northern Europe, many ancient monuments are sited on hills. Some of these are defensive structures (such as the hill-forts of the Iron Age), but others appear to have had a religious significance. In Britain, many churches at the tops of hills are thought to have been built on the sites of earlier pagan holy places. The National Cathedral in Washington, DC has followed this tradition and was built on the highest hill in that city.

Forest of Dense Trees

The word "forest" was borrowed by Middle English from Old French and Medieval Latin forestis, literally meaning "outside". Uses of the word "forest" in English to denote any uninhabited area of non-enclosure are now considered archaicThe word was introduced by the Norman rulers of England as a legal term (appearing in Latin texts like the Magna Carta) denoting an uncultivated area legally set aside for hunting by feudal nobility (see Royal Forest).These hunting forests were not necessarily wooded much, if at all. However, as hunting forests did often include considerable areas of woodland, the word "forest" eventually came to mean wooded land more generally.[citation needed] By the start of the fourteenth century the word appeared in English texts, indicating all three senses: the most common one, the legal term and the archaic usage

Woods

Wood is a hygroscopic substance. It has the ability to take in or give off moisture in the form of vapour. The water contained in wood exerts a vapour pressure of its own, which is determined by the maximum size of the capillaries filled with water at any time. If the water vapour pressure in the ambient space is lower than the vapour pressure within wood, desorption takes place. The largest sized capillaries, which are full of water at the time, empty first. The vapour pressure within the wood falls as water is successively contained in smaller and smaller sized capillaries. A stage is eventually reached when the vapour pressure within the wood equals the vapour pressure in the ambient space above the wood, and further desorption ceases. The amount of moisture that remains in the wood at this stage is in equilibrium with the water vapour pressure in the ambient space, and is termed the equilibrium moisture content or EMC (Siau, 1984). Because of its hygroscopicity, wood tends to reach a moisture content that is in equilibrium with the relative humidity and temperature of the surrounding air. The EMC of wood varies with the ambient relative humidity (a function of temperature) significantly, to a lesser degree with the temperature. Siau (1984) reported that the EMC also varies very slightly with species, mechanical stress, drying history of wood, density, extractives content and the direction of sorption in which the moisture change takes place (i.e. adsorption or desorption).

Sindhuli

Kamalamai (सिन्धुलीमाडी) is a municipality in Sindhuli District, in the Janakpur zone of central south Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 32,838 people. The city is in the Sindhuli Valley of central south Nepal. The historic symbol of the Valley, Sindhuli Gadhi fort, is at the peak of a hill of the Mahabharata range. The city is in the plane valley made by the Kamla River

In Sindhuli districts , There castes of Rai , Brahmin , Lamas , Bhotes, Kami etc are lived. There are Marin river which flows from villages of Nakali village,Jhyadi village and Jutepani village of Sindhuli district. Mainly Rai peoples are lived in Jutepani village, Tinkuna,Hapkara, Jhyadi, Ratanpur village of Sindhuli districts and Raigau village of Makanpur district.

Small Trees

Small trees are homeowners and landscapers delight. Small trees fit so many applications and planting sites. Small trees combine the opportunity to display color, shape, flower color, and size to any yard or location. Choose a feature such as summer foliage and there are small trees that will provide stunning foliage such as the Japanese Red Maples. Choose a feature such as early spring blooming and the spectacular Redbud family will provide the eye candy for the landscape. Fast growing small trees quickly upgrades a barren yard with unique foliage and branch patterns. For a long lasting spring bloom period consider the crabapple family. Crabapples exhibit gorgeous flowers with a multitude of different bloom colors and size choices

Hills of Nepal

The Mahabharat range, running closely parallel to the Chure range, separates the Terai from the Hill region, which covers about 64% of the total land area. This range averages 1,525 to 4,877m altitude and 16kms in breadth. Its structure is synclinal and topography steep and jagged. Forests are usually found on the higher elevations whereas the lower and gentler slopes are used for terraced cultivation.
North of this range and south of the Himalayas, lies the extensively cultivated broad hill complex of the "Pahar" of mountain region, the major subdued in character, this complex has a generally salubrious climate. The fertile valleys formed by the principal river systems, including the Katmandu Valley, are the main settlement and cultivation areas in the region.

Mountains of North

Contrary to popular belief, the height of a mountain is measured from the base to the apex. Mt. Everest stretches 8848 meters above sea level, but it has a head start due to the general uplift from the Himalayas. The Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea is 10,314 meters from base to apex, so even though it only reaches to 4205 meters above sea level, it is a bigger mountain than Everest. (These results only apply to an incorrect manner in which one would measure a mountain. This measurement is based upon how high above sea level the mountains peak is located. The correct way to measure a mountain would be to obtain actual height from base to apex

In Nepal there are mount Everest, mt. Lotse , Mt. Makalu , Mt Annapurna,Mt Machhapuchra,Mt Kanchanga etc located . They attract many local as well as foreign tourists. Every year thousands of tourists go there to view it 's natural scenery.

The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g., radio, television) or inherently non-streaming (e.g., books, video cassettes, audio CDs). The verb 'to stream' is also derived from this term, meaning to deliver media in this manner. Internet television is a commonly streamed media.ul place like eye catching .

Leaves

In botany, a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat (laminar) and thin. There is continued debate about whether the flatness of leaves evolved to expose the chloroplasts to more light or to increase the absorption of carbon dioxide. In either case, the adaption was made at the expense of water loss. In the Devonian period, when carbon dioxide concentration was at several times its present value, plants did not have leaves or flat stems. Many bryophytes have flat, photosynthetic organs, but these are not true leaves. Neither are the microphylls of lycophytes. The leaves of ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms are variously referred to as macrophyll, megaphylls, or euphylls.
Leaves are also the sites in most plants where transpiration and guttation take place. Leaves can store food and water, and are modified in some plants for other purposes. The comparable structures of ferns are correctly referred to as fronds. Furthermore, leaves are prominent in the humA structurally complete leaf of an angiosperm consists of a petiole (leaf stem), a lamina (leaf blade), and stipules (small processes located to either side of the base of the petiole). The petiole attaches to the stem at a point called the "leaf axil." Not every species produces leaves with all of the aforementioned structural components. In some species, paired stipules are not obvious or are absent altogether. A petiole may be absent, or the blade may not be laminar (flattened). The tremendous variety shown in leaf structure (anatomy) from species to species is presented in detail below under Leaf morphology. After a period of time (i.e. seasonally, during the autumn), deciduous trees shed their leaves. These leaves then decompose into the soil.an diet as leaf vegetables.

Beautiful Falls

Streams become wider and shallower just above waterfalls due to flowing over the rock shelf, and there is usually a deep pool just below the waterfall because of the kinetic energy of the water hitting the bottom. Waterfalls normally form in a rocky area due to erosion. After a long period of being fully formed, the water falling off the ledge will retreat, causing a horizontal pit parallel to the waterfall wall. Eventually, as the pit grows deeper, the waterfall collapses.
Waterfalls can occur along the edge of a glacial trough, whereby a stream or river flowing into a glacier continues to flow into a valley after the glacier has receded or melted. The large waterfalls in Yosemite Valley are examples of this phenomenon. The rivers are flowing from hanging valleysWaterfalls are grouped into ten broad classes based on the average volume of water present on the fall using a logarithmic scale. Class 10 waterfalls include Niagara Falls, Paulo Afonso Falls and Khone Falls.
Classes of other well-known waterfalls include Victoria Falls and Kaieteur Falls (Class 9); Rhine Falls, Gullfoss and Sutherland Falls (Class 8); Angel Falls and Dettifoss (Class 7); Yosemite Falls, Lower Yellowstone Falls and Umphang Thee Lor Sue Waterfall (Class

Water Falls

Typically, a river flows over a large step in the rocks that may have been formed by a fault line. As it increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed. This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and to recede upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it.
Often, the rock stratum just below the more resistant shelf will be of a softer type, meaning that undercutting due to splashback will occur here to form a shallow cave-like formation known as a rock shelter or plunge pool under and behind the waterfall. Eventually, the outcropping, more resistant cap rock will collapse under pressure to add blocks of rock to the base of the waterfall. These blocks of rock are then broken down into smaller boulders by attrition as they collide with each other, and they also erode the base of the waterfall by abrasion, creating a deep plunge pool or gorge.

Tree

Temperate deciduous forests are forests in cool, rainy areas; they have trees that lose their leaves in Fall and regrow them in Spring. Temperate deciduous forests are found in the middle latitudes around the globe and have four distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. In the Northern Hemisphere, these forests are found in North America, Europe, and Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, there are smaller areas of these forests, in South America, Africa, and Australia. The growing season in these forests is about 6 months long.
Temperature and Precipitation: The average temperature in temperate deciduous forests is roughly 75°F (24°C) but gets as high as 86°F (30°C), depending on the altitude of the forest. Forests higher in the mountains are colder. Deciduous forests receive from 2 to 5 feet (0.5-1.5 m) of precipitation (both rain and snow) each year. Humidity in these forests is high, from 60% to 80%.
Fall Colors: In the Fall, the number of hours of daylight decreases. This causes some plants and trees (called deciduous) to stop producing chlorophyll (a green pigment that converts sunlight into chemical energy) and eventually lose their leaves. During this time, these leaves turn brilliant colors, ranging from red to orange to yellow to brown.
Soil: The soil in the deciduous

Natural View

When researching the safety of synthetic chemicals and other substances used in cosmetic and personal care products, one theme emerges: There are few, if any, definitive answers. This is partly due to the lack of scientific studies conducted on over 85% of the ingredients currently being used, or on the effects of combining the various chemicals. As you may already know, the American government does not require manufacturers to prove the safety of the chemicals they are using, and has very little power over the cosmetics and toiletries industry in general. So while these companies are likely testing the products to rule out potential skin reactions, they are not conducting the kind of research that would determine long-term effects such as cancer, infertility or neurological (i.e., brain) effects.
In other countries, however, and in laboratories around the world, studies have been conducted on animals to examine long-term consequences of exposure to these substances. The findings are grim: everything from increased susceptibility to breast cancer to a greater likelihood of infertility and even Parkinson's disease have been attributed to exposure to the chemicals many of us slather on, lather up, and spray all over our bodies on a daily basis. And yet, because there is no conclusive evidence that any of these substances are harmful, they remain on the market. In fact, the chemical and cosmetic industries spend millions of dollars to persuade our legislators to keep it that way.
To make matters worse, there are no regulations around what qualifies a product as "natural"or "organic." In other words, you could take a bottle of chlorine bleach, squeeze some organic lemon juice into it, slap a pretty green leaf on the label, and sell it as Organic Bleach. Of course, most of us would see right through that bit of deceptive marketing. Most products, however, are not nearly as straightforward. Manufacturers are dedicating an enormous amount of resources to figure out how to spin their products in a way that makes them sound more natural, organic, and safer than they really are.
The truth is, in order to cover all you need to know to truly understand the complexities of this industry, we would need to write a book. Fortunately for us, someone already did. If you are interested in learning more about what is lurking in your lotions, preserving your pomade, or leeching out of your lipstick, we strongly encourage you to read the book, Not Just a Pretty Face, by Stacy Malkan. For the staff at The Nature of Beauty, this book changed our lives forever. We suspect it may have the same impact on you!
In the meantime, we have compiled a list of ingredients most experts consider to be among the most harmful on the market. They also happen to be the ingredients you won'tfind in any of our products. Whether you purchase products from us or not, we hope you will continue learning more and taking steps to protect yourself and your family from the potentially harmful and decidedly unnecessary chemicals hanging out in your medicine cabinet, cosmetic case, and diaper bag.

Natural Beauty

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world, or material world. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and literally means "birth".[1] Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accordThe concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries
Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For, example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural, the supernat

People of Intelligent

In this worldIntelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn. There are several ways to define intelligence. In some cases, intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality, character, knowledge, or wisdom. However there is no agreement on which traits define the phenomenon of intelligence agreed upon by a majority across the various concerned disciplines.
Theories of intelligence can be divided into those based on a unilinear construct of general intelligence and those based on multiple intelligences. Francis Galton, influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin, was the first to advance a theory of general intelligence. For Galton, intelligence was a real faculty with a biological basis that could be studied by measuring reaction times to certain cognitive tasks. Galton's research on measuring the head size of British scientists and ordinary citizens led to the conclusion that head size had no relationship with the person's intelligence.
Alfred Binet and the French school of intelligence believed that intelligence was an average of numerous dissimilar abilities, rather than a unitary entity with specific identifiable properties. The Stanford-Binet intelligence test has been used by both theorists of general intelligence and multiple intelligenceorld ,there people are of different capacities of nature.

Islands

When defining islands as pieces of land that are surrounded by water, narrow bodies of water like rivers and canals are often, but not always, left out of consideration[citation needed]. For instance, in France the Canal du Midi connects the Garonne river to the Mediterranean Sea, thereby completing a continuous water connection from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. So technically, the land mass that includes the Iberian Peninsula and the part of France that is south of the Garonne River and the Canal du Midi is surrounded by water. For a completely natural example, the Orinoco River splits into two branches near Tamatama, in Amazonas state, Venezuela. The southern branch flows south and joins the Rio Negro, and then the Amazon. Thus, all of the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana) and substantial parts of Brazil and Venezuela are surrounded by (river or ocean) water. These instances are not generally considered islands. However, small pieces of land bordered by rivers are considered islands.

Nepal's Beauty

Nepal's most possessed natural resource is water. A land-locked country it may be, but the country is blessed by snow-capped mountains which feed Nepal land. Rivers are not only for rafters but also for businessmen. More than 80% of Nepal's electricity is generated by rivers. Snow-capped Himalayas are the main sources of Nepali rivers. Nepal has altitude ranging from 60 meter to all the way upto 8848 meters (Mt everest), the highest altitude of the earth. Some of the fastest running rivers in the world are located here.
There are three major rivers in Nepal namely Kosi River, Gandaki River and Karnali River which lie across east to west running from north to south. Surroundings of most rivers are in their natural settings. Nepali rivers are paradise to River Rafters who just can't have enough of angry and mad rivers. Need we mention Himalayan Water? It's all here in this beautiful country. No matter how many rivers you have rafted here, there is always a river waiting to be explored.
