Dear Rotaractors and Friends,
Being a charter President of Rotaract Club of Kathmandu Sunrise is a Dream comes true for me. Rotaract is a platform or a place to develop the professionalism of a Person through service and fellowship. I am sure everyone of our club and also all Rotaract will not only enjoy also we will develop our professionalism and over selves to the community.
I always agree with this line “If your action inspire other to dream more, learn more, do more and Become more then You are a leader” so all my activities will be focused to inspire my members and also Rotaract to become more.
We are very new Rotaract Club in Rotaract Family so we hope we will get Help, Suggestion, Co-ordination and Communication from Rotary International, Rotaract District and other fellow Rotaract Clubs.

Green IT
ask the experts >>>
Should I Refinance? Historically Low Interest
World is pressurized with the anomalous conflict of global warming. Most of the organization has implemented different projects like “Go Green” to reduce global change in this world. So did the IT experts came with an idea of a project “Green IT”. Actually “Green IT” instigate in replacing all old high power consuming equipment with the latest and greatest low energy devices, it also brings a perception of our recycling policy in comparison to WEEE directive. Even now most of us don’t have a gist about how energy is being wasted. But according to the research it has been found that about 60 percent of energy is wasted even the building is unoccupied. But most shocking fact was that more or less 20 watt of energy was consumed by a monitor even if it was switched off. The reason behind that was most of us has no habit of switching our equipment off through the plug before leaving that place. But if we want to implement “Green IT” further, we can get started by using a meter which calculates the total energy consumed in a day, which will enable us to identify which equipment can be switched off. We can also spend a little time on purchasing equipment by evaluating product’s environment criteria according to the IEEE standards, which would significantly help us to have a positive change in terms of global warming. (Anon., n.d.)We can even calculate the energy consumption of our computer through Energy Calculator PC Equipment which is in the website http://www.euenergystar.org/en/en_008.shtml.
3) The guardian (U.K) Formerly known as the Manchester
Guardian,this newspaper was founded in 1821 by a group of non‐conformist businessmen headed by Jhon Edward Taylor. The much quoted article “comment is free but facts are scared” is still used to explain the values of the present day newspaper,this extraordinary act of philanthropy’ resulted in a unique form of media ownership in the U.K. Whis has now lasted more than 70 years.
4) The Washington Post (U.S.A)
The largest and the oldest newspaper of Washington D.C was founded in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins. In 1975,the Washington post launched three new weekly zoned sections. The Maryland,District and Virginia weeklies. These three section were later transformed in 10 local news section to provide greater coverage of communication news,activities,and features of special interest to living in the regions served.
5) Youmiuri shimbun(Japan)
First published on November 2,1874 it is also certified with having the largest newspaper circulation in the wor ld with a combined morning and evening circulation of copies throughout the 1880s to 1890s the paper came to be known as a literary arts publication with regular inclusion of work by writers such as Ozaki Koyo,Yomiuri also publishes the daily yomiuri.
Writing and Compilation : Rtr. Rojina Thapa
Calculation of energy is divided into three modes which are On-mode, Sleep-mode and Off-mode, I also checked how much does my computer actually consumes energy which showed me 41W, 2.3W and 1.4W respectively, which revealed of 45Kw/year and it cost me approximately 584 EUR per year. So I think using this tool can make a great change in terms of “Green IT” which would also be extremely beneficial in forth coming future. Writing & Compilation: Rtr. Rajendra Manandhar
Top 5 Newspapers Of The world A newspaper is a scheduled publication containing news of current events, informative articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It usually is printed on relatively inexpensive, low‐grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6,580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The worldwide recession of 2008, combined with the rapid growth of web‐based alternatives, caused a serious decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations. The more society is developed the more means of communication are required,among all means communication newspaper is one of the important media which play a vital role in our life. 1) The Newyork Times (U.S.A)
Launched in 1851 with motto printed in the upper left hand corner of the front page, “All the News that’s fit to print”.The principle founders of the newyork times were Hennry Jawis Raymond, a sometime politician, a reporter and editor and George Jones an albang,New York banker the journalistic endeover of this newspaper is committed to quality news information and entertainment in the U.S as well as around the world.
2) The sun (U.k.) Are you a football fan? Do you support Human Rights? Are you lesbian
or bisexual? Are y0u antiwar? Are you weird? Have you been or are you employed? Are you or is anyone you kno suffered or suffering from mental illness? Are you from mental illness? Are you black? Asian, Indian , or French or German or Irish? Are you christain? Muslim? Hindu or sikh? If you are interested in these topic then you ought t buy it. Sun relies heavily on stories and occasionally scandals involving celebritites and the entertainment industry,contained in its general news on pages as well as in section such as bizarre and t.v. biz.
Drugs addiction Drug addiction is a complex brain disease. It is characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking, and use that persist even in the face of extremely negative consequences. Drug seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a result of the effects of prolonged drug use on brain functioning and, thus, on behavior. For many people, drug addiction becomes chronic, with relapses possible even after long periods of abstinence.
• Motivational Interviewing: Employs strategies to evoke rapid and internally motivated behavior change to stop drug use and facilitate treatment entry.
• Group Therapy: Helps patients face their drug abuse realistically, come to terms with its harmful consequences, and boost their motivation to stay drug free. Patients learn effective ways to solve their emotional and interpersonal problems without resorting to drugs.
Medications Used To Treat Drug Addiction • Tobacco Addiction • Opioid Addiction • Alcohol and Drug Addiction Drugs addiction is a curable disease. Discoveries in science of addiction have led to advances in drug abuse treatment that help people stop abusing drugs and resume their productive lives. As we all know that addiction need not be a life sentence. like others chronic diseases, addiction can be managed successfully. Treatment enables peoples to counteract addiction’s powerful disruptive effects on brain and behavior and regain control of their lives. Writing & Compilation: Rtr. Deepa, Rtr. Samjhana
Why do peoples take drugs?
• Most abuse drugs produce intense feelings of pleasure.
• Some people who suffer from social anxiety, stress-related disorders, and depression begin abusing drugs in an attempt to lessen feelings of distress. Stress can play a major role in beginning drug use, continuing drug abuse, or relapse in patients recovering from addiction.
• The increasing pressure that some
some individuals feel to chemically enhance or improve their athletic or cognitive performance can similarly play a role in initial experimentation and continued drug abuse.
• In this respect adolescents are particularly vulnerable because of the strong influence of peer pressure; they are more likely, for example, to engage in "thrilling" and "daring" behaviours.
Some ways of treatments Some of the styles of treatment are cited below:- • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.:Seeks to help patients recognize,
avoid, and cope with the situations in which they are most likely to abuse drugs.
• Motivational Incentives: Uses positive reinforcement such as providing rewards or privileges for remaining drug free, for attending and participating in counseling sessions, or for taking treatment medications as prescribed
We were notified in week six about our group presentation. Working as a member of a team is an essential characteristic in many professions but this ability does not always develop naturally and should therefore be practiced (Jacques, 1991; Kuisma, 1998). But actually at that moment we were in distress, I had just finished my exam of Problem Solving For IT, and again the next week was an exam of Logic. All of us were pressurized from all the sides, and we didn’t have enough time for any kind of practice. We couldn’t even think of a topic for our presentation. to think and obviously our ideas were poles apart from one another,
but disastrously all of them were rejected. Finally, we clinched to choose Coffee-Cup Software as our topic, which is web designing software. And for this ultimately we got a green signal from Mr.Udash who is also our module leader. As we were just reprieved of choosing our topic, again we were facing challenged by our task At first we were having no gist of who was going to do what. But fortuitously one of my friends allocated our work into four categories. First is to collect all the required statistics, other for editing, another for implementing ideas and for typing all the edited data in power-point, and the last one for the animation.
Group projects are commonly used in the tertiary education as a learning method and a form of assignment. It may seem that group presentation may be an informal job, as group work has several numbers people and many people means more helping hands. But actually it always doesn’t work with the same phenomena. As the saying goes, “Too many cook spoils the broth”, our problem was not different from that at all. The aim of this presentation was to see how student can coordinate among each other in their group and check how far students have developed their confidence level.
Work - An experience... Group As the tasks were apportion into four categories each one have to choose one task. My interest was in animation part, so I chose for the animatronics. One of my friend provided me all the slides, and I animated those slides. Now after completion of my animation part, I gave it to my friends for final check and they enlightened me where I should make modifications. In the mean time we were also deciding for our presenting part. Due to my experience in using that software, I chose to explain features. Because of time limitation we just kept five features the first one was fire starter, then visualsite designer, juke box, HTML editor, and final one was FTP server. I will be explaining about all these features. Then one of my friend will be showing them how to use those features.Then finally we finished our presentation slides and practiced for our final presentation, where peer and self marking was implemented among our group-members. And my group member informed me where I should improve to make my presentation skill better. Since, I had no experience of working in a team before, it was obvious for me to fill arduous in working in a group. But however I overwhelm those glitches. Written By : Rtr. Rajendra Manandhar
