Bandhs hit the nation, Home Ministry appeals for restraint

As various parties and organisations have been calling bandh at the drop of a hat in various parts of the country, the Home Ministry has issued a public appeal urging all parties, student unions and organisations to exercise restraint and refrain from imposing any strike.
The Ministry has appealed all concerned to avoid holding programs that could affect peace, harmony and public life.
The public appeal was made after a number of organisations held bandh in various parts of the country. In the past one week, organisations like Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha, Chure-Bhawar Unity Society, Tharu Kalyankari Sabha and Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NFIN) imposed bandh in Terai and hilly districts.
The Ministry's appeal has come on the eve of chakkajam (traffic blockade) and customs blockade announced by the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF). The forum had refused to sit for talks with the government saying they first want the Home Minister to resign. They have already announced that they will go for chakkajam and customs blockade from February 26 till March 5 in Terai region.
Meanwhile, the NFIN has decided to sit for talks with the government team on Monday afternoon. nepalnews.com sd Feb 26 07

Freelancing Oppertunities...

If you are a talented and resourceful individual in certain ways and can manipulate computers, the internet and do so in writing occasionally. I seriously suggest freelancing. I have been a freelance writer, blogger, wrote articles for consumers and businesses, business promotion and produts, translation articles since I speak several languages, and have also performed some SEO tasks as well.

Given that there are many sites out there to obtain freelancing jobs. Craigslist is a good site, but going through all of the cities, countries, etc just to hunt down and get maybe a few listings seems pointless. But there are websites out there that maintain updated listings from craigslist for freelancing.If you want to know where you can find them, just leave a comment and I will post a few sites. Craigslist and many of the other sites have postings for many freelance, independent contractor opportunities.

A website that I have spent alot of time on lately is Get a Freelancer. The site, when you first arrive looks a little messy. But the great thing is people do leave feedback for the contracted bosses and you get feedback as well. You will see if the person lives up to their word. I recommend you not deliver/send your entire completed package until payment is rendered. There is the reality that you can get cheated and also that they can too. Theres a risk in everything unfortunately. But Check the site out. There are opportunities to freelance in data processing, project management, virtual assisting, java, website promotion, seo, data entry, link building, translation, logo creation, cold fusion, delphi, graphic design, photography, training, script installation, PHP, wireless, telemarketing, and the list goes on. And also, its free. But you only get so many bids within a 30-45 day time period.

In economics, business is the social science of managing people to organize and maintain collective productivity toward accomplishing particular creative and productive goals, usually to generate profit.

The etymology of "business" refers to the state of being busy, in the context of the individual as well as the community or society. In other words, to be busy is to be doing commercially viable and profitable work.

The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the general usage (above), the singular usage to refer to a particular company or corporation, and the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the record business," "the computer business," or "the business community" -- the community of suppliers of goods and services.

The singular "business" can be a legally-recognized entity within an economically free society, wherein individuals organize based on expertise and skills to bring about social and technological advancement.

In predominantly capitalist economies, businesses are typically formed to earn profit and grow the personal wealth of their owners. Notable exceptions to this rule include many cooperatives, non-profit organizations, and government institutions.

In other words, the owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for their work — that is, the expense of time, energy, and money.

However, the exact definition of business is disputable as is business philosophy; for example, most Marxists use "means of production" as a rough synonym for "business." Socialists advocate either government, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses. Some advocate a mixed economy of private and state-owned enterprises. Others advocate a capitalist economy where all, or nearly all, enterprises are privately owned.

Types of businesses

There are four main types of business unit:

Sole Proprietorship: a business owned by one person. The owner may operate on their own or may employ others. The owner of the business has total and unlimited personal liability of the debts incurred by the business.

Partnership: A partnership is a form of business in which two or more people operate for the common goal of making profit. Each partner has total and unlimited personal liability of the debts incurred by the partnership.

Private Limited Company (Ltd): a small to medium sized business that is often run by the family or the small group who own it. The owners and managers are only liable for the business up to the amount they have invested in the company, and are not liable for the debts incurred by the company unless they have signed a personal guarantee.

Public Limited Company: a business with limited liability, a wide spread of shareholders and in the UK, a share capital of over £50,000. The owners and managers are only liable for the business up to the amount they have invested in the company, and are not liable for the debts incurred by the company (unless they have signed a personal guarantee, which usually is not the case for a large corporation).
