Before we know it, technology is going to pass us by. With the invention of the computer and the Internet, the possibilities are endless. Society is changing by leaps and bounds, with no chance of a stopping point in the near future. All this change is dealing with computers and the effects that it will have on the way we live tomorrow. The Internet affects us in every way, most importantly with our social lives, our jobs, and our entertainment. Our social lives are not just communicating with telephones and mail anymore. Going “on-line” is the new way we like to communicate with people. Chat rooms on the Internet are open for people to talk and explore with other people who may live on the other side of the world or the other side of the street. E-Mail is also another popular way to correspond with others. Users can electronically send mail to another person with an on-line mailbox, simply by typing in their message and sending it by the click of a button. Two seconds to send e-mail to someone on the other side of the world is much quicker than a week or more through the ordinary mail. The Internet can also affect our jobs. Computers can calculate and figure out things much quicker than the average person. This process cannot only save time, but money too. Stock trading is now on the Internet, along with banking and any other type of business you could imagine. The world wants thing to be quick and easy. The best answer to that is to have a computer do it for you. In the future, hundreds of millions of jobs will be taken away from honest hard-working employees and will be given to computers. No matter what choices we make, or what plans we change, these outcomes are going to become real. Why would a business pay someone to take phone orders, when a computer can do it in less time and make it both cheaper and easier for the business and the buyer? Computers and the Internet are definitely affecting the way we entertain ourselves. The most basic example is card games. If the computer can deal out cards on a screen with the click of a button, why would anyone want to deal out a deck of cards manually and have to clean them up afterwards? On the Internet, you can gamble with on-line casinos, place bets on a horse race, or even watch movies. People can do all of these activities in the comfort of their own home. No gas money is wasted or time spent driving around to find entertainment so people are happy. The inevitable outcome of this magnificent invention is going to change the world. Society is happy about the way things are changing. Cheaper is better, less time consuming is better. With the choice of having a computer and being on-line, there is almost nothing you cannot do. This remarkable idea of the Internet is going to revolutionize the way we live in the future.

Nepal: Mass arrests of peaceful demonstrators unacceptable

Background

Five political parties - Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, Nepal Workers' and Peasants
Party (NWPP), Peoples' Front Nepal (PFN), and the Nepal Sadbhawana Party (NSP)
launched a campaign in May 2003 calling for the reinstatement of parliament and
the restoration of democracy. They have carried out several peaceful
demonstrations over the last few months in support of their campaign.

In October 2002 King Gyanendra sacked Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba after a
dispute over the timing of general elections, dismissed the government, and took
executive power. On 11 October the King appointed Lokendra Bahadur Chand, a
former Panchayat prime minister and a member of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party
(RPP) (National Democratic Party), as Prime Minister to head an interim
government. Prime Minister Chand resigned in May following protests by political
parties, and Surya Bahadur Thapa, also from the RPP, was appointed.

Since the end of the cease-fire at least 50 people, including some civilians,
are reported to have died during fighting between the government and the CPN
(Maoist). The CPN (Maoist) have allegedly killed four civilians in central and
eastern Nepal, over the past few days, in contravention of international
humanitarian law. Amnesty International condemns human rights abuses by both
sides to the conflict. It has called upon both sides to agree to setting up an
independent human rights monitoring mechanism.

Following the breakdown of the peace talks between the government and the
Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (Maoist) on 27 August, the government imposed a
ban on public gatherings of over five people for three weeks in Kathmandu,
saying the move was aimed at maintaining law and order.

Web Technology

Technology is sweeping over the world. This is the age of information. Information plays an important role in the promotion & development of any organization, as well as in efficiency of general people. Modern people are much busier and thus want to get the required information as soon as possible. Web technology is enormously powerful tools for development. One of the most pressing challenges is to harness this extraordinary force, spread it throughout the world, and make its benefits accessible and meaningful for all humanity basically the poor. Thus overall one can say that the web page allows or truly help to explore various factors and aspects of organizations through the simple click of button.

Role of Webmaster
Webmaster is becoming seen as a more senior-level position, with the person being responsible for managing the evolution and well-being of the web work, policies, as well as the more rationale HTML and other technical resources. It’s ok for statices webpage, but if we think about dynamic webpage it should be implementation programming languages like PHP, ASP, CGI, and JS for develops the webpage. Supervise the design of the organization's Web and editing as well as designing the E-Bulletin. In addition, there is likely to be an interrelated effort to create a Web design, organization, and content for the corporation's intranet. The most challenging responsibility is that develop the international relation using the website. Manages the computer server and technical programming aspects of a Web site as well as Idea generation to develop Information & communication Technology (ICTs) Development project as per as organization’s needs

The announcement of the collapse of the peace talks, unilaterally by the Maoists, is a serious setback to resolve the problems by peaceful means. The announcement is a dangerous attempt to revive abduction, intimidation, extortion, violence and murder. The fragile hope for peace of people is crashed. They are unsure what goes the next. All they receive from the ugly call is a psycho-pain that they have to go through day and night.

Not a single party is responsible to call for this day. Both the government and the Maoists were contributing equally to prove the prospect and significance of code of conduct irrelevant. The seven-month-old ceasefire and the subsequent peace process were not completely calm. During the period of arms-halt, 122 persons lost their lives in the collision of two arms, where the Maoists shared 44 lives. Abduction, arrest, disappearance and coercive collection of fund led the days to bake for truce recess, which the Maoists did first.

The recent development of the incidents overstepped the people’s expectation to retrieve the rights nullified in course of armed conflict. The break up of ceasefire still creates social and political unrest cultivating violence. Time undoubtedly steps against the will of the people giving birth of their new perpetrators. Now people have to go through the coercion, subversion, chaos and pain. But ultimately, people overcome the pain, suffering and cut apart the net of chaos. People need peace and want to be a party of the peace process. They are committed to solve the problems by peaceful means. Any Hercules, which comes to undermine the people’s wills, will be taken to pieces and the history never excuses them. People know only the peace has a breast to suck. People are determined to outlive the sound of war drums and the exploits of brave fingers. So, we appeal the parties to be sincere to the people’s will and resume peace talks.

The government and representatives of the CPN (Maoist) called a cease-fire on 29 January 2003. Two rounds of peace talks, with the aim of finding a solution to the seven year conflict or "people's war" launched by the CPN (Maoist) in February 1996, took place in April and May 2003. The Maoists listed a round table conference, an interim government and elections to a constituent assembly to draft a new Constitution among their central demands.

After killing nearly 7,400 people in the seven years of deadly conflict in Nepal, the cease-fire announced and the third round table discussion (Dang,Hapure) was completed without meaningful outcome between the government and the Maoist for peace talks. After third round table discussion, Maoist breakdown the peace-talk and started the war by attracting the Former Prime Minister Deuba and army officer. Recently against of Maoist, Government Re-donate ‘terrorist’ tag so easily.

The government and the Maoists have declared that they are fighting for the nation and well being of the people. On one side the government is fighting to quell the Maoists for establishing peace & develop and on the other side Maoists are proud of themselves fighting for freedom and radical change in the social, economic and political situation of the nation. I don’t know how they are achieving their goal. But the thing that is still questionable in my sole and mind is that why those people are fighting? What are the reasons behind it? What thing they achieved and what battle they are winning? Our concern should be towards it. What for the war? Why killings? Why abduction? Why incommunicado? Why illegal detention? Why contempt of court orders? Why an environment of self-terrorizing people? What for the internal displacement? So on and so forth. Fact is that, they are only fighting for their identity that they need for their existence and for argument among others. Both of the parties are loosing the battle, but they are acting of winning it.
