The incredible 1,111-carat stone is the biggest ever to be found in the country, and the largest discovered anywhere in the world since 1905. The BBC reported that it has become the second-largest diamond discovered in the world. The largest was the 3,106-carat Cullian diamond found in South Africa in 1905.

A joint statement between the UK and India following Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister Cameron’s meeting in London in November 2015. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister David Cameron met in London on 12-13 November. The two Prime Ministers celebrated the growing strength, breadth and depth of the relations between the two countries. They emphasised that this enduring connection between the UK and India plays a vital role in safeguarding and promoting the security and prosperity of both peoples.

Behind a steel gate on a dusty side street in Kathmandu, there’s a rather good bar. It’s run by the Belgian consulate and offers a superb selection of rare Trappist beers. It’s an odd place to meet Nepal’s next sporting superstar, a former child soldier who ran away from home to escape a life of repression and has since risen to the top of one of the most extreme sports on Earth. Two things strike you upon meeting this young athlete. First, there are those eyes – twinkling with self-amusement at an absurd life. Secondly, there’s the fact that Mira Rai is a woman.

The top-selling items by retailers using Alibaba’s platform included baby-related and nutritional products, Nike sneakers and Levi’s jeans, the company said.

On Tuesday, famed physicist Stephen Hawking presented new theories on black holes to a crowd of esteemed scientists and members of the media at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Hawking focused on something called the information paradox, which continues to puzzle scientists who study black holes. In a nutshell, the parradox involves the fact that information about the star that formed a black hole seems to be lost inside it, presumably disappearing when the black hole inevitably disappears. These things cannot be lost, according to the way we think the universe works, and physicists generally believe that they aren’t really lost. But where does the information go when the black hole that’s absorbed it goes kaput? Where does information about a star that formed a black hole go to? Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking says it goes to the event horizon on the boundary of a black hole.

An economic report by HSBC has predicted a seismic shift in the structure of the global economy, with the economic centre of gravity shifting from the north Atlantic to central Asia – particularly China and India. If the predictions are true (and it must be said that economists are not known for agreeing with each other) the world will look very, very different indeed. Through a complex but fascinating analysis of economic systems and infrastructure and serious number crunching, HSBC’s analysts’ economics prowess has projected the wealth of countries (GDP and per capita income) in 2050. You can read the full report:The World in 2050; Quantifying the Shift in the Global Economyhere. Read on to discover which countries will be the world’s richest – in 2050: In 2050, China is expected to be the world’s richest, and probably the most powerful, economy, with a GDP of $24.62 trillion and a per capita income of $17,759. China’s income per capita will still only be roughly a third of that in the US so there is room for considerably more growth. On the minus side, it will no longer be the most populous place on earth – (spoiler alert) that honour will go to India. Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip sits with his bride, Sofia Hellqvist in a carriage, after their wedding ceremony, in Stockholm, Sweden. Hundreds of Swedes gathered in the hot summer sun on Saturday to watch former reality show starlet Sofia Hellqvist become a real-life princess when she marries Prince Carl Philip in a lavish Stockholm wedding. Royal watchers clutching blue and yellow national flags pitched rugs and deck chairs along the route that the newly weds will take after exchanging vows and before returning to the palace for a 21-gun salute and wedding banquet. About 550 guests will attend the ceremony including Britain’s Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and Princess Takamado of Japan.

Dizzyingly high at about 400 m (1,312 ft) above the canyon floor, the span is claimed to be capable of holding up to 800 people at a time. The BBC has apologised and launched an internal inquiry after a tweet sent from the account of one of its producers said Queen Elizabeth II had died, during a test of coverage for a royal death. The first of a series of tweets was sent from the account of broadcast reporter Ahmen Khawaja around 9:30am (local time), and said: “BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth is being treated at King Edward 7th Hospital in London. Statement due shortly”. Ms Khawaja then added: “Queen Elizabrth (sic) has died,” according to a screen shot published by British media. The tweets sparked a storm on social networks and the rumours about the Queen’s health were picked up by numerous international media outlets. Ms Khawaja, a producer for BBC’s Urdu-language service, apologised immediately for the “false alarm” and deleted the messages, saying: “Phone left unattended at home. Silly prank, Apologies for upsetting anyone!”. The tweets were swiftly deleted and we apologise for any offence.

But a Buddhist academic has said that he may not be dead but in a “very deep meditation”. The preserved body was discovered in the lotus position, covered in animal hide, last week in the Songinokhairkhan district, close to the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. Forensic examinations are being carried out on the remains, which investigators believe belong to a man who may have been a Lama, or a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism.

Since at least 2010, Hawking has spoken publicly about his fears that an advanced alien civilization would have no problem wiping out the human race the way a human might wipe out a colony of ants. At the media event announcing the new project, he noted that human beings have a terrible history of mistreating, and even massacring, other human cultures that are less technologically advanced — why would an alien civilization be any different? And yet, it seems Hawking’s desire to know if there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe trumps his fears. Today (July 20), he was part of a public announcement for a new initiative called Breakthrough Listen, which organizers said will be the most powerful search ever initiated for signs of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life] “I am here today because I believe the Breakthrough initiatives are incredibly important,” Hawking said during a media event at the Royal Society in London. “It’s time […] to search for life beyond Earth. The Breakthrough initiatives are making that commitment. We are alive. We are intelligent. We must know.” Read the rest of this entry » [अन्य देशमा छिट्टै चुनाव हुने भएकोले यस्मा उल्लिखित केही कुरा ती देशमा शिक्षाको रुपमा लिन सकियोस भन्ने अभिप्रायले यो अत्यन्तै संक्षिप्त प्रतिबेदनलाई यसरी सार्वजनिक रुपमा पेश गरिएको हो । ] एनआरएनए अस्ट्रेलिया चुनाव २०१५ को पर्यबेक्षकको हैसियतमा निर्वाचनस्थल भिक्टोरियाको ५९ ए रोजबेरी एभेन्यू प्रेस्टनमा म करीब १५:०० देखि १७:३० सम्म रहँदाको समयाबधिमा आफूले देखेका, महसूस गरेका र अन्यबाट प्राप्त सुझाबहरुलाई बुँदागत रुपमा पेश गर्न चाहन्छु । यहाँ प्रस्तुत बुँदाहरु एनआरएनको चुनाबमा मात्रै केन्द्रित नभएर योसंग अन्तर्सम्बन्धित कुराहरुलाई पनि समेटिनेछ । १ एनआरएनएको यो बर्षको चुनाव यस्को परिवर्तित बिधानले ‘प्यानल’ बनाई चुनाव लड्न नपाउने आचार संहिता स्पस्ट रुपमा ब्यबस्था गरेका कारण चुनाव के कसरी होला भन्ने कुरा चासो र चुनौतीको बिषय थियो । नयाँँ बिधान अनुरुप एउटा बिल्कुलै फरक परिबेशमा हुन गैरहेको पहिलो चुनाव भएका कारण पनि धेरैको ध्यान अस्ट्रेलियातिर तानिनु स्वभाबिकै थियो र संभाबित समस्या न्यूनिकरणका खातिर चुनाव प्रचार प्रसारको समयदेखि नै निर्वाचन समितिले बिभिन्न किसिमबाट सजगता अपनाएको कारण स्पस्ट रुपमा समूहगत प्रचार प्रसार भएको खासै पाइेएन । समग्रमा निर्वाचन संभाबित चुनौतिलाई सफलतापूर्बक पार गरेको रुपमा लिनु पर्ने देखिन्छ । २ अर्कै शहरबाट जानु पर्ने भएकोले म निर्वाचनस्थल पुगेको समय निर्वाचन समयाबधिको उत्तरार्ध भएकोले पनि आफूले अन्य ब्यक्तिहरुसंग बुझे अनुसार तुलनात्मक रुपमा सो समय शान्त थियो । तसर्थ अपेक्षाकृत चुनौति समानुपातिक याने कि कम हुनु स्वाभाबिकै थियो यध्यपि यदाकदा अनुक्रमानुपाति हुनै नसक्ने भन्ने होइन । ३ कम्पुटरहरु अत्यन्तै ढिला भएका कारण Login गर्न कतिपयलाई समस्या भएको जस्तो पनि पाइयो । एकजनाको लागि एउटा User name र Password हुने भएको र त्यसबाट एकपटक मात्रै भोटिङ गर्न पाइने भएकोले आगामी बर्षमा घरबाटै पनि भोटिङ गर्न मिल्ने ब्यबस्था गरिएको खण्डमा ब्यबस्थापन सहज हुने र खर्चमा ठुलो मितब्ययिता हुने मात्रै नभएर अधिकाधिक भोट खस्ने संभाबना पनि हुने भएकोले यसतर्फ संबेदनशील हुनु उपयुक्त देखिन्छ जस्ले बिदेशको ब्यस्त जीवनका बाबजुद भीटिङको लागि समय ब्यबस्थापन सहज् बनाउन सक्छ । Read the rest of this entry »
