The Maoists have always put Nepal on a dangerous roller coaster ride towards a crash. Every time they have been active or been at the political helm, the country has suffered miserably and lost part of its soul. The Maoist Prime Minister Pusha Kamal Dahal has taken the country to a new depth, as never before, by eroding its standing in the world and its sovereingty and independence. Although the Maoist leaders alone are not the only culprit in Nepal 's growing humiliation, they are at its…

Red, yellow, and orange blended into a single swath of color as I drove north along the Blue Ridge Parkway on an autumn day in Appalachia. I slowed down as I passed by a row of trees noticeably smaller than the rest, reflecting back to what was visible before their growth. Six years ago, as a high school student, I used a graphical information system (GIS) to conduct a viewshed analysis of undesirable vantage points on this scenic byway.

Jan 30, 2016-The Nepali rap scene has discovered its most recent rising star.

at 8,848 meters above sea level. Everest Base Camp is a temporary settlement, sometimes called ‘the tent city’. A lot of rubbish is left behind and it has been a worry over the last 20 years. The mountain is located on the border between China and Nepal. While it is the tallest mountain in the world, its not the furthest summit from the center of the Earth. I believe that building a structure increases the amount of tourists and makes climbing the mountain less dangerous. If you build a…

also talks about Mt. Everest, explaining why the damage in the city was so severe. Europe's Sentinel-1A is a radar satellite that recently (this past Wednesday) had released some new data. According to that data, the article states that a region of Nepal 75 miles (120 kilometers) long by 30 miles (50 km) wide was lifted upward by as much as 3 feet during the earthquake.

Different set of people living together in harmony with mutual understanding and respect for each other regardless of their cultural or religious background and their ethnicity is the main idea of cosmopolitanism. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's annual projections, “The overall population of the world is 7.2 billion” (as of December 31st 2014), so it is of no surprise that there are several views regarding the concept of cosmopolitanism. However, Kwame Anthony Appiah, a London born…
