Bill Gates drinks water distilled from human faeces

Bill Gates has drunk a glass of water made from human faeces, to showcase technology he said could provide clean water in the developing world.

The Microsoft founder said he wanted to begin sending processing plants around the world after tests later this year.

The project was welcomed by WaterAid, which said that it could particularly help in urban areas.

According to the charity, some 748 million people worldwide lack clean drinking water.

In a video posted on his blog, Mr Gates watched as the human waste was fed into the processor, before drinking the end product from a glass.

The Youngest Billionaires On The Forbes 400: 11 Under 40

By Natalie Robehmed:

Each year, Forbes crunches the net worth of every American billionaire to see who will make the exclusive Forbes 400 list. But 11 members of this club are luckier than the rest: they are in good health, have full heads of hair and many, many years to spend their fortunes.

This year there are 11 American billionaires under the age of 40 on the list.  The youngest member of the Forbes 400 is 30-year-old Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz, who has been the most junior person on the Forbes 400 since making his debut in 2010. He lost bragging rights as country’s youngest billionaire this summer when Snapchat raised money valuing the photo sharing app at $10 billion. Now Evan Spiegel, 24, holds that title but with a net worth of $1.5 billion, he just misses the cut for the Forbes 400.

Moskovitz is just eight days younger than his former Harvard roommate, Mark Zuckerberg, who is the second-most-junior member of the list. The Facebook CEO is worth an estimated $34 billion, up from $19 billion last year, making him the year’s biggest dollar gainer. At just 30 years old, he is the 11th richest person in America – and the wealthiest under 40.

The dollar’s 70-year dominance is coming to an end

Within a decade, greenback’s could be replaced as the world’s reserve currency

By Liam Halligan

In early July 1944, delegates from 44 countries gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. A three-week summit took place, at which a new system was agreed to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the Second World War.

The US was already the world’s commercial powerhouse, having eclipsed the British Empire several decades earlier. America was also on course to be among the victors of “Europe’s conflict”, even though its economy was largely unscathed by war. As such, Bretton Woods was US-dominated and produced a settlement largely on US terms.

Seventy years ago this week, that fateful summit ended. Its close marked the moment the dollar’s unquestionable supremacy was secured. Since then, global commerce has been conducted largely in dollars and leading economies have held the greenback as their primary reserve currency.

The same system remains intact today, with the lion’s share of commercial settlements worldwide still clearing the US banking system – even if the parties involved have nothing to do with the States.

गोरखामा विश्वविद्यालय स्थापना गर्ने लक्ष्य : आलोकश्री ( सङ्गीतकार )

घरमा पानी चुहिंदा ओभानो ठाउँ खोज्दै गुन्द्रीमा रात काटेको अनुभव संगालेका सूर्यकुमार खाती स्वीट्जरल्यान्डस्थित पाँचतारे होटलमा पनि सुतेका छन् । फरक यति हो, स्वीटजरल्यान्डको पाँचतारे होटलमा सुत्दा उनको परिचय संगीतकार आलोकश्रीको थियो ।

२०६३ मा जेबी संयोगीको शब्द तथा आलोकश्रीको संगीतमा भारतीय गजल सम्राट् जगजीत सिंहको स्वरको गजल-संग्रह ‘संयोग’ बजारमा आयो । ‘संयोग’पछि उनकै संगीतमा २०६३ मा ‘राष्ट्रियता’ २०६५ मा एसपी कोइरालाको एकल शब्दमा ‘उपमा’ र २०६६ मा विकास राणा र सुष्मा राणाको स्वरको ‘लुकेर लाएको माया’, २०६६ मै रूपक डोटेलको एकल स्वरमा ‘उमङ्ग’ गीतिसंग्रह श्रोतामाझ आए । ‘२०४६ सालदेखि प्रारम्भ भएको मेरो सांगीतिक यात्रा अहिलेसम्म सुखद छ,’ आलोकश्री भन्छन्- ‘भर्खरै बजारमा आएका गीतिसंग्रहहरू ‘लुकेर लाएको माया’ र ‘उमङ्ग’ ले पनि सफलता पाउनुले मेरा सबै मेहनतको श्रोताले कदर गरेको अनुभव गरेको छु ।’

मानिस सगरमाथा चढ्छ, विश्व देख्छ, विश्वकै अग्लो स्थानमा पुगेको गर्व अनुभूत गर्छ, अनि लुरुलुरु तल र्झछ,’ शिखरमा एक्लै पुगे पनि बस्ने मन गरे पनि आखिरमा बेसक्याम्प झर्नैपर्छ,’

घरमा पानी चुहिंदा ओभानो ठाउँ खोज्दै गुन्द्रीमा रात काटेको अनुभव संगालेका सूर्यकुमार खाती स्वीट्जरल्यान्डस्थित पाँचतारे होटलमा पनि सुतेका छन् । फरक यति हो, स्वीटजरल्यान्डको पाँचतारे होटलमा सुत्दा उनको परिचय संगीतकार आलोकश्रीको थियो ।

आलोकश्री यस्ता पात्र हुन्, जसले मेहनत र आत्मविश्वासकै कारण आफ्नो पहिचानलाई करोडौं नेपालीका माझ परिचित गराएका छन् । गोरखाको आँपपिपलमा पहिलो पटक आँखा उघारेका आलोकश्री जम्बो परिवारका सदस्य थिए ।

‘बुबाहरू चार दाजुभाइ तथा चार दिदीबहिनी हुनुहुन्थ्यो’ आलोकश्री भन्छन्- ‘त्यसमा पनि हाम्रा बा-आमाका पाँच सन्तान थपिएपछि परिवारको साइज झन्डै दुई दर्जन पुगेको थियो ।’ ‘आम्दानी भए पनि खर्च धेरै हुने भएकाले घर चलाउन मुस्किल हुन्थ्यो,’ उनी सम्झन्छन्- ‘कक्षा ८ मा पुगेपछि म पनि मेलापातमा व्यस्त हुन थालिसकेको थिएँ ।’ यसरी बिहान- बिहान गरेको कामबाट आउने २-३ रुपैयाँ जम्मा गरेर उनी महिनामा ५० रुपैयाँ पुर्‍याउ**थे, जुन विद्यालय शुल्क तथा कापी किताबमा खर्च हुन्थ्यो ।

आठ वर्षमै ब्ल्याक बेल्ट (फोटोफिचर/भिडियो)

Bishank Rana could not be the first as Mark Garry already became the youngest person to achieve Karate Black belt at only 8 years old.

रोशन राउत : काठमाडौं : उनको नाम विशांक राना मगर। उनी भर्खर नौ वर्षका भए। उमेरले सानै भए पनि खेल क्षेत्रमा उनले हासिल गरेको उपलब्धि भने अपत्यारिलो छ। काठमाडौंको भानुभक्त मेमोरियल स्कुलमा कक्षा चारमा अध्ययनरत विशांकले कराँतेमा ब्ल्याक बेल्ट (कालो पेटी) पाइसकेका छन्।

कुनै पनि खेलाडीले कराँते सिक्न सुरु गरेदेखि ब्ल्याक बेल्टसम्म पुग्न सातवटा चरण पार गर्नुपर्छ। विशांकले पनि ह्वाइट, यलो, अरेन्ज, ब्लु, ग्रिन, पर्पल र ब्राउन बेल्टको चरण पार गरेर आठ वर्षकै उमेरमा ब्ल्याक बेल्ट पाएका हुन्।

कराँतेका उदीयमान खेलाडी भए पनि पछिल्लो समयमा आएर फुटबल खेलले पनि विशांकलाई मोहित पारेको छ रे। फुटबल खेलले उनको मन तान्नुको पछाडि कारण भने रहेछन्, -राष्ट्रिय फुटबल टोलीका चर्चित खेलाडी अनिल गुरुङ। 

उनले सन् २०१३ को सेप्टेम्बर ४ तारिखमा ब्ल्याक बेल्टको प्रमाणपत्र पाएका थिए। पक्कै पनि, यो असामान्य उपलब्धि हासिल गर्न उनले गर्नुपरेको परिश्रम सामान्य थिएन।

How a Nepali village girl became an ultramarathon champion via rebel army

Mark Sharp

Running up Lantau Peak from sea level in less than 50 minutes is a tall order, but to the diminutive Mira Rai, it’s all relative. “Hong Kong is very modern, but the mountains are not very high,” says the 23-year-old Nepali, who was in the city last month to compete in the Vertical Kilometre race to the summit.

Rai claimed victory in the women’s category in a time of 48 minutes, 32 seconds. Two days later, she defended her MSIG Lantau 50 ultramarathon title, won two months earlier. This time she was defeated only by the world champion in the class, Stevie Kremer.

Rai’s sporting achievements have been sudden and impressive. She took part in her first ultramarathon in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, just last March, after being encouraged by a friend. She finished first and went on to win a second race in April. In September, she left Nepal for the first time to compete in two races in Italy. Against a global line-up of top long-distance runners, she was crowned champion in both events. Rai is now on track to become her country’s first professional female elite athlete in the fast-growing sport.

It’s been a meteoric rise for Rai, but equally remarkable is the path she took to get where she is today. It was a trajectory that began when she ran off to become a child soldier in Nepal’s Maoist rebel army.

Rai wields an assault rifle as a 15-year-old Maoist rebel in Nepal.

The second of five siblings from a poor village near the town of Bhojpur, eastern Nepal, Rai pined to free herself from the yoke of subsistence farming. “In the rainy season we could grow crops, but if the weather was not good it was hard to grow anything. It was a very difficult life,” she says through a translator.

So at the age of 14, when she heard of a possibility to change her circumstances, Rai packed her bag and told her parents she was going camping for a few weeks. Instead, she spent the next two years living in a bamboo fortress with up to 600 rebel recruits.

“I wasn’t aware of the politics when I joined. At school, the student union used to organise activities like camping and sports, which I was interested in joining. I didn’t know it was really a Maoist campaign,” she says. “My family situation was not good and I was just looking for an opportunity to do something else with my life.”
