Reviving The Constituent Assembly For Good


Between the NC, the UML and the CPN(M) they have over 300 MPs in the constituent assembly. Reviving the constituent assembly for good - not just for a day, but for good, to complete all work on the constitution - might be a pretty good option. Those three parties will have the option to gang up and get rid of the Baburam Bhattarai government through due process, if that is what they might want.

Exercise and the Ever-Smarter Human Brain
we continue to require regular physical activity in order for our brains to function optimally. .... our bipedal ancestors survived by becoming endurance athletes, able to bring down swifter prey through sheer doggedness, jogging and plodding along behind them until the animals dropped ...... complicated inner-ear mechanisms to maintain balance and stability during upright ambulation. Movement shaped the human body. .... simultaneously, in a development that until recently many scientists viewed as unrelated, humans were becoming smarter. Their brains were increasing rapidly in size. .... the evolution of the brain was driven by the need to think. ....... recent experiments in which mice and rats were systematically bred to be marathon runners. Lab animals that willingly put in the most miles on running wheels were interbred, resulting in the creation of a line of lab animals that excelled at running. ....... physical activity may have helped to make early humans smarter. ....... Eventually, these early athletes had enough BDNF coursing through their bodies that some could migrate from the muscles to the brain, where it nudged the growth of brain tissue. ..... And out of all of this came, eventually, an ability to understand higher math and invent iPads. But that was some time later. ..... if physical activity helped to mold the structure of our brains, then it most likely remains essential to brain health today ..... “regular exercise, even walking,” leads to more robust mental abilities, “beginning in childhood and continuing into old age.” ...... there is a deep evolutionary basis for the relationship between a healthy body and a healthy mind .. a relationship that makes the term “jogging your memory” more literal than most of us might have expected

the CA revival would be an easy and the least expensive option to take the constitution writing process ahead. ...... "If the political parties forge consensus on all issues by January 9, the alliance is ready to accept a national government led by any party," said Spokesperson for FDRA Prem Bahadur Singh, adding, "But, if the political parties fail to arrive at consensus by January 9 we will move ahead with the agenda of reviving the dissolved CA." ..... EC has already made it clear that it would be unable to conduct CA polls by mid May if constitutional and legal hurdles were not removed by January 9, stating that the constitutional body needs at least 120 days to make preparations for the election. ...... the meeting stressed the need for reviving the CA also for constitutional amendment. "The Interim Constitution should not be amended through ordinance as it may create problem in future" .... Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar said the alliance should take initiatives to forge consensuses on options other than CA revival.
NC, UML reject CA revival option
"Political parties discussed a lot for a period of one month during August-September over the issue of whether or not to revive the CA," Gyawali told Republica. "But lastly the option of CA revival was closed after the ruling Maoist and Madhes-based parties remained rigid over the single ethnic-based federal model." ..... On Wednesday, NC president Sushil Koirala had ruled out any possibility of his party supporting CA revival proposal.
CPN-Maoist forms hydel to replace GMR from upper Karnali

Dahal as PM a no-no: Koirala
Koirala also ruled out any possibility of reinstating the Constituent Assembly (CA) that was dissolved in May without producing the new constitution. The CA´s tenure was extended to four years from its original two-year term...... "The issue [whether or not to reinstate CA] has already been decided. We have already decided not to reinstate the dissolved CA but to go for fresh election," said Koirala.
Consensus government the only option in Nepal, says India
