Dor Bahadur Bista (the famous Anthropologist) states that eastern approach is rooted firmly in the decline of fatalism (the belief) that one’s destiny is fixed and wholly immutable. “Fate and Free Will” have equal parts of play in every human life; we can achieve nothing until we are able to look ourselves realistically. Accepting what we see in the mental mirror, setting aside the distorted image of ourselves broadcasted by our mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife or peers (friends).

In most of the countries in the world poverty is understood as income poverty. When people lack money, they are mostly regarded as poor. If poverty is studied in broad terms and reasons of poverty are sought it has various dimensions leaning behind. Some of the important factors of poverty are suffering from malnutrition, poor health condition, lack of quality education, poor access and availability of clean drinking water, lack of electricity etc. These all factors clearly reflect that poverty isn’t only income poverty, but it is multidimensional affecting various factors of life.

In my mind, indeed, the upcoming election will be quite a tough job when it comes to demanding a vote for a particular party or an independent candidate. These days, each political candidate has promised to verbally make into his/her area more prosperous along with developmental activities. After all, winning matters a lot, no matter which party one may belong to. Similarly, an independent candidate does, too.

Being a curious finance student, I often think about wealth management. Wealth management or money management, when done correctly, has wide-ranging benefits for investors of all kinds —large and small. This is the reason why wealth management has come to be associated with the rich and wealthy is because wealth is associated with the rich and wealthy. Wealth management is more than just investment advice, as it can encompass all parts of a person’s financial life. In fact, the wealth manager starts by developing a plan that will maintain and increase the client’s wealth based on the individual’s financial situation, goals and comfort level with risk.

Indeed, our world is more educated, fascinated, modernized and more techno-savvy than ever before. For a moment, keep aside all of these, but meanwhile, in our rat race to make progress, we often forget one important factor: which is — a big scarcity of ‘common sense.’

In fact, two of the basic concepts of stock market trading are “bull” and “bear” markets. On the one hand, the term bull market is used to refer to a stock market in which the price of stocks is generally rising. Quite interestingly, there is no specific and universal metric used to identify a bull market. Nonetheless, perhaps the most common definition of a bull market is a situation in which stock prices rise by 20% or more from recent lows. On the other hand, a bear market exists when stock prices are overall declining in price. A bear market occurs when a market experiences prolonged price declines. It typically describes a condition in which securities prices fall 20% or more from recent highs.

The bell rings and I immediately run out of class for lunch. The sound of the loud middle school rattles my ears and I get to the cafeteria. I walk inside and there is the large, ear bleeding, cafeteria of Hillwood middle school. Maddie runs up to me. “Serena.Miller!! You have got to see this!” She points a magazine page in my face.

“The Future of money: towards new wealth, work and a wiser world.” When I read this powerful research paper written by Bernard Lietaer, I don’t know why my mind is hit like a fire in a profound manner. Similarly, at the same time, when I compare new technologies with old ones, I get really amazed by the world simply because it is changing so fast in terms of cryptocurrency, bitcoin, blockchain, fintech, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data management, and now metaverse. So, my plain question is what will the world of money look like in five-or ten years’ time now? Notably, this quest comes to my mind quite frequently. And, of course, despite having so many innovations in digital payment systems, no one can predict exactly what the world’s digital currency will look like.

Menstruation still continues to be a taboo in Nepal, despite several ill practices being outlawed by the Supreme Court of Nepal in 2005. In spite of many protests, the ill practices for this moment still remain in the country, more extreme than in the West. Better known in Nepal as, ‘Chhaupadi’ (menstrual shed), this menstrual taboo has caused women and girls to be exposed to health risks, and disengage from family activities, and daily routines. If you may not be aware of the term ‘Chhaupadi’, it originated from the western parts of the country, sprouting through superstitions and myths. People from some Far-West districts believe that menstruation causes women to be impure temporarily.

First and foremost, let us understand the meaning of “telehealth.” The word ‘tele’ means “distance” and ‘health’ means “to heal”. Another synonym of telemedicine by Time Magazine as “healing by wire”. Telemedicine also refers to the practice of medicine at a distance whereby information technology is used to ensure the delivery of medical care services. By using mobile phones, laptops, and computers, healthcare providers and doctors can communicate with their patients virtually and write prescriptions or follow-ups. But, at the same time, with the rise of innovative technologies and the use of AI in healthcare — healthcare businesses have taken a different shape, from traditional styles to telehealth.

Climate change is affecting every inhabited region across the globe. There has been rapid warming of the climate as a result of human activity over the last 2000 years. The most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change are the least developed countries, like Nepal. It has become increasingly difficult for communities because of unpredictable and extreme weather events, especially those that are already vulnerable to climate stresses.

Indeed, ‘portfolio management’ is all about a concept that promotes the idea of diversification. To be honest, let me tell you that the idea of managing your own investments can feel daunting, but no matter how much money you’ve, there is a level of portfolio management right for you. Simply put, however, it can be either passive or active in nature. Most tellingly, on the one hand, passive management is a set-it-and-forget-it long-term strategy that often involves simply tracking a broad market index — commonly referred to as indexing or index investing. On the other hand, active management instead involves a single manager, co-managers or a team of managers who attempt to beat the market return by actively managing a fund’s portfolio through investment decisions based on research, and decisions on individual holdings. Apart from this, the business strategy underpins successful project portfolio management. Here is what I’d like to say: strategy refers to the long-term direction as well as scope of an organization, working towards the goals of growth in the competitive landscape.
