FSFN to forge electoral alliance with RJPN and NC: Leader Yadav

KATHMANDU: The General Secretary of Federal Socialist Forum Nepal Ram Sahaya Yadav said the party would forge electoral alliance with the Rastriya Janta Party Nepal and Nepali Congress for upcoming polls to address the feelings of Madhesi people.
He clarifed this alliance for the upcoming polls only not for the party merger with other like-minded parties at an interaction programme in Kathmandu on Monday.
“We are in alliance with NC for the elections only not for merger with NC. UML and Maoist Centre have also forged electoral alliance for the polls, party unification is not possible with a surface homework,” Yadav Shared.
He said the party would take the leadership role for the rights of Indigenous, Muslim, Tharu, suppressed community and marginalised community in the nation.
Similarly, CPN-Maoist Centre central leader Chakrapandi Khanal Baldev speaking at the same programme clarified the party had held discussion regarding unification with the UML rather then electoral alliance despite being in the coalition government.
He accused PM Sher Bahadur Deuba and Nepali Congress of deliberately questioning the CPN-Maoist Centre’s political morality in public.
Khanal said the earlier alliance with NC was for local levels.
He said the CPN-Maoist Centre would remain and support the government and clarified that the broader alliance with the UML is for people and nation.

US trio win Nobel for finding Einstein’s gravitational waves

STOCKHOLM/LONDON:  Three US scientists won the 2017 Nobel prize for physics on Tuesday for opening up a new era of astronomy by detecting gravitational waves, ripples in space and time foreseen by Albert Einstein a century ago. The work of Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne crowned half a century of experimental efforts by scientists and engineers.Measuring gravitational waves offers a new way to observe the cosmos, helping scientists explore the nature of mysterious objects including black holes and neutron stars. It may also provide insight into the universe’s very earliest moments. The first detection of the waves created a scientific sensation when it was announced early last year and the teams involved in the discovery had been widely seen as favourites for Tuesday’s prize. “We now witness the dawn of a new field: gravitational wave astronomy,” Nils Martensson, acting chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics, told reporters. “This will teach us about the ...

Mexicans dig through collapsed buildings as quake kills 217

MEXICO CITY:  Police, firefighters and ordinary Mexicans dug frantically through the rubble of collapsed schools, homes and apartment buildings early Wednesday, looking for survivors of Mexico’s deadliest earthquake in decades as the number of confirmed fatalities stood at 217. Adding poignancy and a touch of the surreal, Tuesday’s magnitude-7.1 quake struck on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 earthquake that killed thousands. Just hours earlier, people around Mexico had held earthquake drills to mark the date. One of the most desperate rescue efforts was at a primary and secondary school in southern Mexico City, where a wing of the three-story building collapsed into a massive pancake of concrete slabs. Journalists saw rescuers pull at least two small bodies from the rubble, covered in sheets. Volunteer rescue worker Dr. Pedro Serrano managed to crawl into the crevices of the tottering pile of rubble that had been Escuela Enrique Rebsamen. He made it into a classroom...

Liquid cats, crocodile bets and didgeridoos win Ig Nobel science prizes

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS:  Scientists taking on the deep questions of whether cats are liquid or solid, how holding a crocodile influences gambling and whether playing the didgeridoo can help cure snoring were honored Thursday at the Ig Nobel Prize spoof awards. The prizes are the brainchild of Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research, and are intended not to honor the best or worst in science, but rather to highlight research that encourages people to think in unusual ways. “We hope that this will get people back into the habits they probably had when they were kids of paying attention to odd things and holding out for a moment and deciding whether they are good or bad only after they have a chance to think,” Abrahams said in a phone interview. Some of the honorees tend towards the spurious: French researcher Marc-Antoine Fardin’s 2014 study “Can a Cat Be Both a Solid and a Liquid?” was inspired by internet photos of cats tucked into glasses, buckets...
