The Future Of Air Travel Safety
Capt. KB Kshetry
Eleven European countries and Israel are currently busy developing an air plane defense system that my foil hijacking and terrorist attract in future Mr. Daniel gaunter the director of the Fifty million dollar $ 50 million project says that it will be last defense against terrorist attacks in this post 9/11 world .
Once the system is developed, a hand held electronic nose sensitive that a dig's snout will sniff passengers for dangerous chemicals and vapors at Aircraft entry doors. Than as soon as the Aircraft takes off the on-board computer will pack up suspicious conversation between passengers. In addition finger nail sized video camera will also be installed to detect nervous hidden microphone will record questionable noise from passengers in toilet, which is the primary location for unlawful activities before hijacking.
All these information gleaned about troubled spots is then passed to the crew through buzzers of flashing lights on a computer serene in the worst case if a hijacker dies manage to by-pass the finger print activated locks on the cockpit door and grabs hold if the controls the internal computer will tack over and divert the plane away from high rise buildings or any other preprogrammed no fly zone in to a safe spot .
However this project/s is being impeded with criticisms from different quarters. Human right activist are naturally concerned about passengers privacy, pilots are fearful of computers usurping their authority us questioning the ultimate price tag.
Right now the million-dollar question that remain is, "Willa Computer be able to distinguish between the various human micro-expressions and facial tics"
And the answer according to a group of research compiling the database of human expressions is resounding YES. Further insight into the thin slicing of the facial expression couple with the ground braking computer vision and as smart search algorithm will indene bring us a closer to the fulfillment of this dream. In sum, further researches in to these kinds of innovative technologies certainly make air travel lot safer and prevent make sequel catastrophes.

It offer an astonishing diversity of sighteeing attraction and adventure chance found nowhere else. the levation of the country range from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, the Mt Evrest standing tall at 8848 meters.
Nepal also a labour exporting country with a substatial numbre of Neplies workers currently workig in different part of the world , embracing Dubai , Saudi Arabia, Qtar, Kuwait, Oman , Malaysia and Hnkong , among other. It should be noted that remmitance has been the vim and vigour of the Country 's economy and dischsrges key role in de vlopment processes.
Nepal has also been traditional a buffer or shock absorber zone between two gaint neighbours India and China. Sandwiched between the two colossal neoghboures , india and China , Nepal is generaly preceived as a tiny Himalayan Cou ntry . It is a acuity that has been created a bout a country whose geographical size and population are bigger than those of some other atates in south and center Asia region. The percepption has also shaped its orie ntation and relation with outside world. In today's world, where not only the theory of balance of power determines the interstate relation but also the principales of panchsheel prevall and provide orientation to foreign policy mattres , such as difensive mentality needs to be chnge . The post -1950 forei gn policy of Nepal foucused on balancing the ties woth its two immediate neoghbourhood and expa nding its relation with other countres in the world.
Nepal 's natural resoueses have tremendous potntial for industrilization , economic devlopment and prosperty of the people. These are not only important interms of their acenic beauty but also consitute asseest and strength , which have stong impact on Nepal's geopolitical Factors . Similarly mojuntainlous sceni c beauty that Nepal offers are also important for devlopment majore tourist destination and preserving biodiversity .

The district, with Besisahar as its district headquarters, covers an area of 1,692km² and has a population (2001) of 177,149. Lamjung mainly consists of agricultural villages. The Picture on the right is a scene taken in a village called "D Gau" or Dhital Gau.
Nepal
Nepal (Nepali: नेपाल [neˈpaːl] (help·info)), officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia and is the world's youngest republic. It is bordered to the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. With an area of 147,181 square kilometers and a population of approximately 30 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st most populous country.Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the country's largest metropolitan city.
Nepal is a country of highly diverse and rich geography, culture, and religions. The mountainous north contains eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including the highest, Mount Everest. The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized. By some measures, Hinduism is practiced by a greater majority of people in Nepal than in any other nation. A minority faith in the country, Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama who, as the Buddha Gautama, gave birth to the Buddhist tradition.
Nepal had been a monarchy throughout most of its history. Prithvi Narayan Shah, a Shah dynasty king, unified the many small kingdoms in 1768. Since then, the country had been ruled by a dynasty of kings. However, a decade-long People's Revolution by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) along with several weeks of mass protests by all major political parties of Nepal in 2006, culminated in a peace accord and the ensuing elections for the constituent assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of the abdication of the last Nepali monarch Gyanendra Shah and the establishment of a federal democratic republic in May 28, 2008.The first President of Nepal, Dr Ram Baran Yadav was sworn in on 23 July, 2008.
