Kathmandu, Jan 21: Chairman of the UCPN (Maoist), Pushpa Kamal Dahal, has said that the incident of vandalism took place at the Constituent Assembly (CA) as the ruling parties considered their flexibility as a weakness. At a news conference organised by the party here today to make the party’s views public after the CA vandalism on Monday night, Chairman Dahal said such incident took place as the Nepali Congress and the CPN (UML) tried to demonstrate their high-handedness at a time when they asked for two more days to forge consensus on the disputed issues. Dahal argued that the consensus environment got foiled after the CPN (UML) and NC insisted to send the disputed issues to the Constitution Drafting Committee without consensus. He said, “Our plan was only to obstruct the constitution writing process and chant slogans in the CA. The clash took place after the NC Chief Whip Chinkaji Shrestha, reached the rostrum forcefully with a proposal for the formation of a questionnaire c...

The following post has been adapted from the book. Since job security is almost as hard to find as well-rested new parents, we have to create our own financial stability by building multiple sources of incomes.

With the average worker now holding 10 different jobs before age 36, the only way to guarantee a little bit of continuity is to take matters into our own hands. Here are some ways to get started: Brainstorm. Ask a friend or family member to engage in some quick back-and-forth to gin up some ideas. What are your talents? Do you daydream about any potential money-making schemes? Have you stopped pursuing a hobby that you used to ...

Kevin Foster and his wife. Name: Kevin Foster Pay: $103,000 Age: 53    About five years ago, I went to go purchase a car, and the salesman said [no one would finance my loan]. Then he told me I had a 460 credit score. He said I needed to find someone to help me get my credit cleaned up. I called a [credit repair] company and enrolled.  It turned out there was another guy who lived in my same town with a very similar Social Security number, so his bad credit had gotten merged onto my credit report. [Once the credit repair company was done], my score went from a 460 to a 780.  [Three years later], I started going to national conferences that are like boot camps for credit repair and I learned how to legally and ethically launch my own company [TRW Credit Services].

When I was 14 and Jason was 12, we said 'what if we start a dog-sitting business to show our parents we're responsible enough to take care of a dog?'  We [took care of 50 dogs] and went back to our parents, and they said 'it's not that we don't believe you have the responsibility, it's that we don't like dogs.'  But we loved what we were doing anyway.

So [my husband and I] invested about $1,000 and found some inexpensive guy from Europe to make a website for us.
