Christian relief, development, and advocacy group World Vision is committed to assisting families, communities, and children in overcoming poverty and injustice. The global partnership of World Vision International (WVI), which operates in more than 100 countries, includes World Vision International Nepal. World Vision International is an international organization which is a child-focused relief, development, and advocacy organization. World Vision has helped millions of vulnerable children throughout the world change their lives. Robert Pierce established it as a charity organization to care for children in Korea in 1950 and it has grown more and more ever since. Later that year, in Portland, Oregon, the first World Vision office opened. A second office, in Korea, followed in 1954.
The World Vision has established many branches in the world. It is in more than 100 countries and generates $3.14 billion USD in total revenue through donations, sales, and foreign donations. Due to the Korean War, World Vision opened a charity that served as a missionary service organization that provided immediate aid to those in need in East Asian crisis areas but slowly the organization was made international. In order to encourage long-term progress and community self-reliance, World Vision started teaching families the agricultural skills required to establish small farms in the 1970s. Infant mortality rates decreased once the organization started putting up clean water pumps. Volunteers are now using the fresh water to spread awareness of good health and educate cultivation and irrigation. World Vision International began focusing on the requirements of kids who had become orphaned in Uganda, Romania, and Somalia as a result of AIDS, negligence, and civil conflict in the 1990s. Additionally, they joined in UN peacekeeping operations to support civil war victims. Furthermore, World Vision began to actively promote the worldwide ban on landmines. WVI began its long-term development program in Nepal in 2001 to support children's wellbeing. Currently, WVI Nepal is working on long-term development projects in six different Nepalese provinces including Udayapur, Sarlahi, Mahottari, Rautahat, Sindhuli, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Lamjung, Jumla, Kailali, Achham, Doti, Bajhang, and Kanchanpur. World Vision promotes social understanding of other people's needs, the main causes of poverty, and the characteristics of compassionate action. Since 40.7% of marriages in Nepal used to occur before the age of 18, child marriage is a significant issue. World Vision has created a video to assist people understand this reality and how it is hurting the children and communities in Nepal in order to raise awareness about minimizing child marriage. The video is based on actual occurrences and this is not just in Nepal.
In many other countries World Vision has helped to reduce many child related problems like child marriage and improvement of children’s health. World Vision International has also helped to reduce gender discrimination promoting gender equality, youth economic development, disaster risk management and many more. World Vision International is just a small organization which does not get enough recognition but is very essential for the betterment of children in various countries in which it is established.

Apple is a fruit that grows on Apple trees also known as Malus Domestica. Apple is said to be healthy, rich in vitamins and overall a good source of carbohydrate as it contains healthy sugar which is not as unhealthy for diabetic patients but gives the same amount of energy. It is farmed all over the world yearly. It is said that there are up to 7000 variants of apple in the world. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database 83 million metric tons of apples are farmed each year.
Apple not only being a healthy fruit but also is a source of income for many people around the world. It is one of the easiest fruits to plant while being the most popular which makes it a good form of income to farmers. It can grow in any climate but in cold climates it is recommended to grow high quality apples. Some of the most grown apples in the world are listed below:
Apple is also popular for reducing cholesterol, maintaining the heart, helps remove toxins from our body, ect. But the seeds of an apple are very dangerous to eat. Apple seed contains amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside composed of cyanide and sugar. When metabolized in the digestive system, this chemical degrades into highly poisonous Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN). A lethal dose of HCN can kill within minutes.
Apples are a healthy fruit and we should appreciate the farmers who work day and night just to cultivate a singular apple that benefits in so many different ways and our government should give financial aid for farmers struggling due to the recent pandemic. Not only the government, we should also donate and support our farmers. In conclusion, we should pay more attention and think about the struggles of every bite we take because people have worked very hard and faced many struggles to put that fruit,vegetables and other food items on our plate and we should be respectful and grateful to have such access to food and water.

Unlike other substances in our universe, dark matter is detected by its gravitational pull rather than its luminosity. The universe's matter-energy ratio is made up of 30.1 percent dark matter, 69.4 percent dark energy, and "regular" visible matter (0.5%). The existence of dark matter, also referred to as the "missing mass," was first suggested by Swiss - American astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who found that the mass of all the stars in the Coma cluster of galaxies only made up about 1% of the mass required to prevent the galaxies from escaping the cluster's gravitational pull in 1933. The existence of this missing mass was disputed for many years, but in the 1970s, American astronomers Vera Rubin and W. Kent Ford observed a similar phenomenon that proved its reality: the mass of the visible stars in a typical galaxy is only 10% of the mass necessary to keep those stars orbiting the galaxy's center.In general, the orbital velocity of stars around the galactic center is independent of the distance between them and the galactic center; in fact, orbital velocity either remains constant or slightly rises with distance instead of decreasing as would be predicted. The mass of the galaxy within the orbit of the stars must rise linearly with the stars' separation from the galaxy's center in order to explain this. However, this interior material emits no visible light, hence the term "dark matter."
Since the discovery of dark matter, gravitational lensing—matter acting as a lens by warping space and distorting the passage of background light—has allowed scientists to determine that dark matter predominates in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The speed and heat of the gas that produces the observed X-rays have also been used to infer the presence of this missing matter in the galaxies and clusters of galaxies' centers. For instance, the drag caused by one galaxy cluster moving through the other has been observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in the Bullet cluster, which is made up of two merging galaxy clusters. However, the mass of the clusters is unaffected, proving that dark matter makes up the majority of the mass.
The ratio of matter to energy in the cosmos is 30.6 percent. Just 0.5% of the universe's mass is made up of stars, and only 0.3% of that mass is made up of elements heavier than hydrogen. Dark matter is what remains. There have been proven to be two different types of dark matter. The first type, which makes up around 4.5 percent of the universe, is composed of the well-known baryons (protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei), which are also responsible for the creation of bright stars and galaxies. It is anticipated that the majority of this baryonic dark matter will be found as gas between and between galaxies. By measuring the number of elements heavier than hydrogen that were formed in the initial few minutes after the big bang happened 13.8 billion years ago, it has been possible to identify this baryonic, or ordinary, component of dark matter.
The remaining 26.1 percent of the universe's mass, known as dark matter, is in an unidentified, non baryonic form. The speed at which galaxies and massive structures made of galaxies coalesced from density fluctuations in the early universe suggests that the non baryonic dark matter is relatively "cold," or "nonrelativistic," meaning that the cores of galaxies and clusters of galaxies are composed of heavy, slow-moving particles. These particles are electromagnetically neutral since there is no light coming from them. Weakly interacting large particles is the name given to the particles as a result of these characteristics (WIMPs). These particles' particular makeup is currently unknown, and the conventional model of particle physics does not predict them. But other potential extensions to the standard model, such supersymmetric theories, predict fictitious elementary particles like axions or neutralinos that might be the undiscovered WIMPs.
Unusual attempts are being made to find and gauge the characteristics of these invisible WIMPs, either by watching their impact in a lab detector or by watching their annihilations after colliding with one another. There is also some expectation that their presence and mass may be inferred from experiments at new particle accelerators such as the large hadron collider.

Is our universe unique? From science fiction to science fact, there is a theory suggesting that the choices we make in this life play out in an alternate reality and the reality is known as the Multiverse. They are also four dimensional, which means that even though there are many Universes in each Multiverse and that they are all quite far apart from one another, they barely ever collide. The idea of three-dimensional or 3D space is mathematically extended to four dimensions. Hugh Everett presented his major contributions in the late 1950s. where he researched it. By doing so, he is called the father of the multiverse theory by many theorists and scientists, although William James in 1895 came up with the term "multiverse." There are a lot of theories regarding it. According to Max Tegmark, a physicist, there are four “levels” of the multiverse. All the four levels are explained below.
Level 1: Space in our universe goes on far beyond that which we can see, and perhaps goes on forever, which would mean that infinitely many other regions exist in our own pocket universe, regions like our observable universe, where the laws of physics are the same.
Level 2: Multiverses may experience spontaneous symmetry breaking, which can change physical constants. In physics, symmetry breaking is a phenomenon in which small fluctuations acting on a system crossing a critical point decide the system's fate
Level 3: Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics: A level 3 Multiverse is simply another break in symmetry from the lower level Multiverses. Whenever a quantum event appears to have a random outcome, all outcomes in fact occur, one in each branch. Level 4 is called Ultimate ensemble : This level considers all universes to be equally real which can be described by different mathematical structures.
There are many more theories that situate the multiverse within the context of scientific technology. A great example is when, Around 2010, researchers like Stephen M. Feeney claimed to have discovered proof that this universe once collided with other (parallel) universes through analysis of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data. A more thorough examination of the WMAP and Planck satellite data, whose resolution is three times higher than that of the WMAP, however, did not turn up any statistically significant proof of such a bubble universe collision. Additionally, there was no indication that other universes were gravitationally pulling on our own. I personally believe that everyone who is familiar with this topic has their own personal vision of what it would be like for them or the specific verse in general. In this industry, I believe that movies involving the multiverse are seen to be a template for an individual's mind or the general imagination, but it also proves that the people's mind and imagination work differently individually. Sometimes even people who believe in different versions of the universe feel upset about what might have happened in other multiverses that have nothing to do with them. This leads to the question of whether earth was a different planet in the other multiverses.

It is no wonder that everyone has heard the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana. The song featuring the iconic guitar riff is the band’s biggest hit charting on top of the Billboard Hot 100 in several countries. But, have you ever wondered what the song is actually about? For someone listening to the song for the first time, the lyrics will be difficult to understand because of the lead singer, Kurt Cobain’s slurred, indistinct and raspy voice. Radio stations even refused to play the song because no one could understand what he was singing. However, the song has aged very well, with over a billion streams on Spotify and 1.5 billion views on YouTube and is favored by many Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z despite not knowing the true meaning behind the lyrics.
While at a grocery store in Washington, members of the punk rock band, Bikini Kill, Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail stumbled upon a deodorant named, “Teen Spirit” and jokingly wondered what a teen spirit would have actually smelled like. The same night, after a few too many drinks, Kathleen crashed into Kurt’s apartment when she found a sharpie and wrote on the wall, “Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit.” After Kurt’s breakup with his then girlfriend, Tobi Vail, he began channeling his frustrations into songs; songs that would be his breakthrough. At first, Kurt wanted to name the song, “Anthem” but later recalled what Kathleen had written on the wall and named it, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. The song’s opening verse, “Load up on guns, bring your friends, It’s fun to lose and to pretend. She’s over-bored and self-assured, Oh no, I know a dirty word.” talks about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend. The lyric in the chorus, “Here we are now, entertain us” was an iconic line that Kurt would say every time when at a party. Following that, “A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido.” refers to groups of people that feel left out in society. A mulatto is a person of mixed African and European descent whereas an albino is the complete opposite. A mulatto typically has a darker tone whereas an albino is extremely pale. This may be Kurt reflecting on outcasts like one himself. One of the verses, “I’m worse at what I do best, and for this gift, I feel blessed.” refers to how the things he does best in life are done better by others, but he still feels blessed to have the great skills he possesses. The third verse, “And I forget, just why I taste, Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile.” refers to Kurt’s excessive drug use. Following that, “I found it hard, it’s hard to find, Oh well, whatever, never mind.” refers to Kurt wanting to tell us more but then he decides not to.
People generally believe that the song is about teen-revolution and the lyrics can add up to it as well. However, the drummer of the band, Dave Grohl states that the song has no meaning whatsoever; he had seen Kurt Cobain writing lyrics, trying to rhyme words minutes before singing. Nevertheless, the feeling of frustration and Kurt trying to take it all out can be seen; that is what touched the hearts of people.

करिब तिस चालिस वर्षअगाडि नेपालको एउटा पूर्वी गाउँमा एउटा सानो परिवार बस्थ्यो । परिवारमा दुई भाइ, एक बहिनी र आमाबुबा बस्थे । परिवार सानो भएपनि सबैजना त्यहाँ मिलिजुली र एक अर्कालाई माया गरेर बस्थे । आमाबुबाले ती तीन छोराछोरीलाई धेरै नै दुःख गरी पालेका थिए । आमा सरिता र बुबा किशोरले भागी बिहे गरेका थिए । त्यसैले उनीहरूलाई समाजले स्वीकारेका थिएनन् । समाजले जति हेला गरे पनि उनीहरूले दुःखसुख सहेर आफ्ना बालबालिकाहरूलाई पाले । सरिता र किशोरले आफ्नो नयाँ जीवन बिताउन नयाँ गाउँमा सरेका थिए । त्यसैले उनीहरूका काेही आफन्तहरू थिएनन् । उनका छाेराहरू विवेक र सम्राट थिए भने छोरी भने निरुता थिई । छोराछोरी गाउँबाट धेरै टाढाकाे विद्यालयमा पढ्ने गर्थे । उनीहरूलाई विद्यालय पुग्न पनि साढे १ घण्टा जति लाग्थ्यो। विद्यालय टाढा भए पनि उनीहरू पढ्नमा भने धेरै सिपालु थिए र बिहान सबेरै उठेर विद्यालय जाने गर्थे । सरिता र किशोर गाउँमै सानो जग्गा लिई खेती किसानी गर्थे ।
त्यो गाउँमा एक बुढीआमा एक्लै बस्नुहुन्थ्याे । ती बुढीआमासँग घरबार, धनसम्पत्ति भरिपूर्ण थियाे । उनीहरूलाई आफ्नो घरमा बस भनी घर नै दिएकी थिइन् । ती बुढी आमाको दया र करुणाभाव देखेर ती जोडीको मन पग्लेको थियो । उनीहरू त्यो घरमा बसे र जग्गा किनी खेती किसानी गर्न थाले । रोपेको तरकारी किशोरले विभिन्न गाउँ सहरमा गई बेच्ने गर्थ्यो । त्यसैले ऊ टाढा टाढासम्म पनि बेच्न जान्थ्याे । कहिले कहिले त उसलाई घर फर्कन नै एक हप्ता नै लाग्थ्याे । किशोर व्यापार गर्न जाँदा घरमा सरिता र तीन छोराछोरी मात्र बस्थे । त्यतिबेला पनि उनीहरूले दुःख गरी आफ्नो छोराछोरीलाई कक्षा दस पास गराए । कक्षा दस पास गरिसकेपछि उनीहरूलाई सहर पढ्न पठाए । ठुलो छोरा विवेकले कक्षा दस पास गरेपछि पोखरा पढ्न पठाए । विवेकले त्यहाँ धेरै राम्ररी पढ्यो । त्यसपछि सम्राटलाई बुटवल पढ्न पठाए । सम्राटले पनि राम्ररी पढ्यो । त्यसपछि निरुतालाई पनि पोखरा पढ्न पठाए । निरुता, सम्राट र विवेक सबैले धेरै राम्ररी पढे । सरिता र किशोर दुवै खुसी थिए र ढुक्क पनि भए । विवेकले काम गर्न थाल्यो र परिवार पाल्ने जिम्मा लियो । बिस्तारै निरुता र विवेकले पनि काम गरी पैसा कमाउन थाले । छोराछोरीले काम गर्दा पनि किशोर र सरिताले काम गर्न छोडेनन् । पछि तीनै जनाको धुमधामसँग बिहे गरिदिए । छोरी निरुता भने आफ्नो पतिसँग अमेरिका गई । विवेकले काठमाडौँमा ठुलो कम्पनी खोली व्यापार गर्न थाल्याे । सम्राटले बैङ्कमा राम्राे जागिर पायो। सबैले आफ्ना आफ्ना घर बनाई बस्न थाले । सबैजना राम्रो काम गरी आफ्नाे जीवन बिताइरहेका छन् । तर, केही समयपछि सरिता र किशोरलाई बिर्सिन लागेकाे जस्ताे व्यवहार गरे । सरिता र किशोरले पनि छाेराछाेरीहरू काममा व्यस्त हुन्छन् भनेर त्यति ध्यान दिदैन थिए । छोराछोरीलाई फोनमा बोल्दा पनि छोराछोरी धेरै समयसम्म बोल्दैन थिए। काम छ भनि कुरा टारी दिन्थे । बिस्तारै उनीहरूले आफ्ना आमाबुबालाई हेप्न थाले । विवेकले आमाबुबालाई सहरमा ल्यायाे । गाउँमा बसेका र सहरमा कहिले नबसेका सरिता र किशोरलाई त्यहाँ बस्न धेरै गाह्राे भयो । विवेकको पत्नीले पनि उनीहरूलाई हेप्ने गर्थी । यो देखेर किशोर र सरितालाई धेरै नै दुःख लाग्यो । सम्राटले त झन् आफ्ना आमाबुबालाई बिर्सिसकेको थियो । केही समयपछि तीन भाइबहिनी मिलेर सरिता र किशोरलाई वृद्धाश्रममा राख्ने निर्णय गरे । सरिता र किशोरले यो कुरा कुनै हालतमा पनि स्वीकारेनन्, मानेनन् र बरु गाउँमै बस्छु भने । सरिताले विवेक र सम्राटलाई आफ्नो मनको कुरा पोखे । बरु हामी बुढाबुढी मात्रै बस्छाैँ ,तिमीहरू काेही पनि चाहिँदैन भनि उनीहरू गाउँ जाने तर्खर गरे। विवेक र सम्राटले नमाने पनि उनीहरू गाउँमा गई बस्न थाले । आमाबुबाले दुःख गरी पढाए, असल बनाए पनि छोराछोरी यस्तो हुँदा सरिता र किशोरलाई धेरै दुःख लाग्यो । त्यति दुःख सहेर हुर्काएको कुनै अर्थ नरहँदा उनीहरू गाउँमा एक्लै बस्न थाले । जति नै दुःख भए पनि आफ्नो बच्चाहरूलाई माया गर्न भने कहिले छाडेनन् । आमाबुबा त आमाबुबा नै हुन् ।।
Oh mighty candle!
The holder of the bright,
Listen to our invocations,
Let there be light.
Oh mighty candle!
That burns for the holy,
Lies under roof of the sacred,
Gives perception to orbs for glory.
Oh mighty candle!
The presenter of sight,
The one with the mighty flame,
Let us feel your might.
Oh mighty candle!
Let light be there for the lonely,
Help brighten our spirits,
Let our stories be heard by the holy.
Oh mighty candle!
Help the orphaned young see,
Present us with warmth,
Bright! Let our future be.
भ्रष्टाचारी नेताहरूको
कालो छ पैसा सबै
नेपाली जनताको मुखमा भने
ताला लागेको छ सधैँ ।
थाहा नै छ हरेक जनलाई
बोल्ने कोही नि छैन
नेपाली हुनुमा छ गर्व भन्छन्
सरम लाग्नुपर्ने भइसक्याे ।
नेपाली जनतामा जाग्रुकता हैन
आत्मविश्वास चाहियो अब,
कोही नबोली बस्दछ भने
अपराध घोषित गरौँ ।
नेपाली हुनुमा गर्व न भएको होइन
गर्व कायम न भएको हो
चुप लागेको जनतादेखि सबै
दिक्क मात्र लागेको हो ।
म पनि अब यसका विरुद्धमा छु
भ्रष्टाचारीदेखि सावधान हाेइन
भ्रष्टाचारीकाे पर्दाफास गराैँ
भ्रष्ट देखेर पनि न बोल्नेहरू
अपराधी हुन मेरा लागि ।
