Pollution Everywhere, Even in United States

 

Few months ago, there was an article here in Dautari talking about India and Pakistan's competition on pollution. Disappointingly, they are competing in war now. However, developed countries are not behind on pollution either. Here is a short video of PACE bus, a public bus service in Chicago, USA. It is designed to reduce pollution by carrying more people, which will reduce the number of cars on the road. But ironically, this bus is sending plumes into the sky. Probably pollution created by exhaust from this bus is ten times of a passenger car. It seems it runs from coal not by diesel. We hope this article will help to reduce pollution by alerting public bus service companies to take care of their polluting transportation.

Most Popular AIs and Their Usage by Country

Determining the "most popular" artificial intelligence (AI) systems involves looking at user adoption, market share, and application areas, often measured by user base, website visits, or survey data. Below, I summarize the most prominent AIs, their primary uses, and available data on user percentages by country, based on recent statistics and trends. Note that precise, up-to-date percentages for every AI across all countries are limited, so I’ll provide the most reliable data available, supplemented by broader trends where specific figures are unavailable.

Nepal comes right after India and China in US Student Visa Cancellation

 

March 25 Update: Since Trump took the office on January 20, 4700 student visas were terminated. Now the Trump administration has restored the student visa registrations of thousands of foreign students studying in the United States who had minor — and often dismissed — legal infractions.

The Justice Department announced the wholesale reversal in federal court Friday after weeks of intense scrutiny by courts and dozens of restraining orders issued by judges who deemed the mass termination of students from a federal database — used by universities and the federal government to track foreign students in the U.S. — as flagrantly illegal.

The USA has 1.1 million students in its database, which adds $44 billion to the US economy in one year.

March 22, 2025

Nepal comes right after India and China in US Student Visa Cancellation. Bangladesh and South Korea make up the top five countries in the list of students whose visas have been cancelled. Many of these actions are being taken without prior notice, often based on minor legal infractions or vague grounds, leaving thousands of international students suddenly out of status, unable to work, and uncertain about their future in the U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has terminated 4,736 SEVIS records, the majority of which were linked to F-1 visa holders. Yet, only 14 percent of affected students received any formal notice from ICE, all of whom were on OPT. An additional 7 percent received no communication at all—neither from the government nor from their educational institutions.

Main target for the visa cancellations are students who were involved in political protest But some students whose visa have been cancelled had police records such as speeding, parking violations, seat belt violations, failure to yield to emergency vehicles etc. Some have serious crimes such as domestic violence.

Here is a list of countries that have been impacted:

1. India:
   • Number Affected: Approximately 163–164 students (based on AILA’s report of 327 total visa cancellations, with ~50% being Indian).
   • Details: Indian students, the largest international student group in the U.S. (331,602 in 2023–24), have been heavily impacted. 
     
     
2. China:
   • Number Affected: Approximately 45–46 students ( 14% of 327 cases). Additional reports confirm at least 19 students identified by Inside Higher Ed
     
     
   • Details: Chinese students (277,398 in 2023–24) are the second-largest group affected. High-profile cases include a Dartmouth Ph.D. student and an MIT student. Some revocations are linked to minor infractions or unclear reasons.
     
     
3. South Korea:
   • Number Affected: Not explicitly quantified, but  among the 327 cases likely fewer than 10 based on proportional estimates.
     
     
   • Details: South Korean students were mentioned in AILA’s policy brief as part of affected groups, but specific numbers are unavailable.
4. Nepal:
   • Number Affected: Not explicitly quantified, but it falls among “significant” countries and number is likely fewer than 10 based on proportional estimates.
5. Bangladesh:
   • Number Affected: Not explicitly quantified, but it falls among “significant” countries and likely fewer than 10 based on proportional estimates.
     
     
6. Kuwait:
   • Number Affected: At least 5 students (per  review of 515 student records).
     
     
   • Details: Kuwaiti students were identified in the dataset, though reasons for revocation (e.g., minor infractions or protests) were not specified.
7. Saudi Arabia:
   • Number Affected: At least 4 students.
      
8. Japan:
   • Number Affected: At least 3 students .

    • Number Affected: At least 2 students (one high-profile case at the University of Florida).
      
      
    • Details: Felipe Zapata Velázquez was deported after traffic violations, and another Colombian student was part of a lawsuit challenging revocations.
11. Mexico:
    • Number Affected: At least 1 student .
      Details: A Mexican student was included in the legal challenge, with no specific reason for revocation provided.
12. Russia:
    • Number Affected: At least 1 student ,Petrova.
      Details: Petrova’s visa was revoked, possibly due to her opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leading to detention and deportation proceedings.
13. Gambia:
    • Number Affected: At least 1 student ,Momodou Taal.
      Details: Taal faced visa issues linked to pro-Palestinian activism and chose to leave voluntarily while his case was pending.

Do you want to learn new software?

People are always curious and they always want to learn something new. Software is among the ones that come to their mind so many times since we are rapidly evolving into new technologies. Here’s a list of software skills and tools that are good to learn in 2025, based on current industry trends and their high demand. These are rooted in the evolving tech landscape, where digital transformation, AI, and cloud solutions dominate. I’ll explain why each is valuable and sought-after.

1. Python

• Why It’s Good: Python’s simplicity makes it beginner-friendly, yet its versatility powers web development, data analysis, AI, and automation. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for coders—easy to learn, hard to outgrow.
• Why It’s In Demand: It’s the backbone of AI and machine learning (think TensorFlow, PyTorch), which are exploding—AI market growth is projected at 36.6% annually through 2030. Plus, 70% of data science jobs list Python as a requirement (per X posts and industry reports).

2. SQL

• Why It’s Good: SQL lets you manage and query databases, a skill that’s foundational for handling data—every company’s lifeblood. It’s straightforward but unlocks powerful insights.
• Why It’s In Demand: Data-driven decisions are king, with businesses hoarding 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily. SQL skills are a must for data analysts and engineers, with a 36% job growth projected for data scientists by 2033 (U.S. BLS).

3. AWS (Amazon Web Services)

• Why It’s Good: AWS is the leading cloud platform, offering tools for storage, computing, and AI. Mastering it gives you a ticket to modern infrastructure management.
• Why It’s In Demand: Cloud spending is forecast to hit $723 billion in 2025 (Gartner), and 90% of firms will use hybrid clouds by 2027. AWS skills command high salaries—median cloud engineer pay is $120,000—because every industry’s migrating to the cloud.

नेपालमा राजा फर्काउने प्रयास

- बजारको गफ 

 नेपालमा हाल राजा फर्काउने प्रयासको सन्दर्भमा विभिन्न गतिविधिहरू भइरहेका छन्। सन् २००८ मा राजतन्त्रको अन्त्य भएर गणतन्त्र स्थापना भएदेखि नै समय-समयमा राजतन्त्र पुनर्स्थापनाको माग उठ्ने गरेको छ। खासगरी पछिल्लो समय, राजनीतिक अस्थिरता, भ्रष्टाचार, आर्थिक संकट र सरकारप्रति जनताको असन्तुष्टि बढ्दै जाँदा राजावादी समूहहरू सक्रिय भएका छन्।

पूर्वराजा ज्ञानेन्द्र शाहले विभिन्न अवसरमा आफ्ना अभिव्यक्ति र भ्रमणहरू मार्फत जनताको ध्यानाकर्षण गर्ने प्रयास गरिरहेका छन्। उदाहरणका लागि, मार्च ९, २०२५ मा काठमाडौंमा भएको र्‍यालीमा उनका समर्थकहरूले "राजा आऊ, देश बचाऊ" को नारा लगाएका थिए। त्यस्तै, मार्च २८, २०२५ सम्मको अवस्था हेर्दा उनी काठमाडौं फर्किएका थिए र समर्थकहरूले उनको स्वागत गरेका थिए। यी घटनाहरूले राजतन्त्रप्रति जनताको एक हिस्सामा नोस्टाल्जिया र समर्थन रहेको देखाउँछ।

राजावादी आन्दोलनलाई राष्ट्रिय प्रजातन्त्र पार्टी (राप्रपा) जस्ता दलहरूले समर्थन गर्दै आएका छन्। साथै, हिन्दु राष्ट्र र राजतन्त्रको पुनर्स्थापना गर्ने मुद्दालाई जोडेर नेपाल र भारतका हिन्दुत्ववादी समूहहरूले पनि अप्रत्यक्ष रूपमा प्रभाव पार्ने कोसिस गरेको अनुमान गरिएको छ, यद्यपि यसको ठोस प्रमाण भेटिएको छैन। मार्च २०२५ मा काठमाडौंमा भएको प्रदर्शनले यो आन्दोलनको बलियो उपस्थिति देखाएको छ।

तर, राजतन्त्र फर्काउने सम्भावना अहिलेलाई जटिल छ। ठूला राजनीतिक दलहरू, जस्तै नेकपा (एमाले), नेपाली कांग्रेस र माओवादी केन्द्रले यसको कडा विरोध गरेका छन्। प्रधानमन्त्री केपी शर्मा ओली र कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष शेरबहादुर देउबाले राजतन्त्र पुनर्स्थापना असम्भव रहेको बताएका छन्। संविधान संशोधन गरेर राजतन्त्र फर्काउन संसदमा दुई तिहाइ बहुमत आवश्यक पर्छ, जुन हालको राजनीतिक समीकरणमा कठिन देखिन्छ।

अर्कोतर्फ, विपक्षीहरूले राजतन्त्र फर्किए विगतको निरंकुश शासनको पुनरावृत्ति हुने तर्क अघि सारेका छन्। २०६२/६३ को जनआन्दोलनपछि राजतन्त्र हटाइएको इतिहास र गणतन्त्रले ल्याएका उपलब्धिहरू (जस्तै समावेशिता र लोकतान्त्रिक अधिकार) लाई जोगाउनुपर्ने पक्षमा पनि बलियो मत छ।

संक्षेपमा, नेपालमा राजा फर्काउने प्रयासमा राजावादीहरू सक्रिय छन् र जनताको एक हिस्साबाट समर्थन पाइरहेका छन्, तर संवैधानिक र राजनीतिक अवरोधका कारण यो प्रयास सफल हुने सम्भावना कम छ। यो बहसले देशमा अझै पनि राजनीतिक स्थिरता र सुशासनको खोजी जारी रहेको संकेत गर्छ।

Predictive modeling tells death toll could reach 10,000 people in Myanmar Earthquake

The death toll from a catastrophic 7.7-magnitude earthquake that hit Myanmar on Friday with reports of 1,600 dead. But Predictive modeling tells death toll could reach 10,000 people in Myanmar Earthquake. The quake struck around lunchtime on Friday, destroyed buildings and bridges. The epicenter was in Mandalay, Myanmar, the country's second-largest city. Even Bangkok, some 600 miles away, felt widespread shaking. 

 Myanmar is considered to be one of the most geologically "active" areas in the world because it sits on top of the convergence of four of these tectonic plates - the Eurasian plate, the Indian plate, the Sunda plate and the Burma microplate. There is a major fault called the Sagaing fault, which cuts right through Myanmar north to south and is more than 1,200km (746 miles) long. This earthquake was formed due to Sagaing fault releasing energy due to built up energy from Indian and Eurasian plates.

 The search and rescue operation has involved crews from the police, military and disaster relief, using drones, dogs and heavy equipment to search through the mountain of rubble, concrete, steel, dirt and rebar.

Lets pray for people in Myanmar and its surrounding that they quickly recover from  this devastating earthquake.

Mamta Kafle Bhatt a Nepali Mother in Virginia America is Still Missing

 

March 2025 update:  Naresh Bhatt is facing murder and concealing a dead body charges. The trial is scheduled for September 2025. Police are still continuing the search for Mamta Kafle Bhatt's remains as they now prepare for trial. Investigators conducted over 44 search warrants and 50 physical searches, finding evidence such as blood and signs of a body being moved but Mamta’s body has not been found to this date.

September 20 update: Judge heard arguments for nearly three hours on Friday before she ruled there was “overwhelming evidence” to consider Naresh Bhatt a flight risk and danger to the community and denied bond. The judge cited new evidence presented by the Commonwealth for her decision, which included surveillance videos capturing Naresh Bhatt disposing multiple bags from his car between July 30 and 31, at times wearing white gloves, at various dump sites and trash compactors, one being at his child’s babysitter’s apartment in Manassas.
