P2P Software

The word P2P means peer-to-peer computing software or workloads among peers. They are very easy, equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes. It make's a portion of their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth, directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination by servers or stable hosts. Peers are both suppliers and consumers  of resources, in contrast to the traditional client–server model where only servers supply , and clients consume . All these kind of software plays a vital role in work performance. The peer-to-peer application structure was popularized by file sharing systems like Napster. The concept has inspired new
 structures and philosophies in many areas of human interaction. Peer-to-peer networking is not restricted to technology,
but covers also social processes with a peer-to-peer dynamic. In such context, social peer-to-peer processes are currently
emerging throughout society. P2P has two way to define.
Structured P2P and un Structured P2P .
Structured P2P networks employ a globally consistent protocol to ensure that any node can efficiently route a search to some
 peer that has the desired file, even if the file is extremely rare. Such a guarantee necessitates a more structured pattern of overlay links. frostwire 4.20.9 can downloaded for P2P computing.
By far the most common type of structured P2P network is the distributed hash table (DHT), in which a variant of consistent hashing is
used to assign ownership of each file to a particular peer, in a way analogous to a traditional hash table's assignment of each key to a
particular array slot. The another one is an unstructured P2P network.
An unstructured P2P network is  is formed when the overlay links are established arbitrarily. Such networks can be easily constructed as a
new peer that wants to join the network can copy existing links of another node and then form its own links over time. In an unstructured
P2P network, if a peer wants to find a desired piece of data in the network, the query has to be flooded through the network to find as
many peers as possible that share the data. The main disadvantage with such networks is that the queries may not always be resolved.
 Popular content is likely to be available at several peers and any peer searching for it is likely to find the same thing. But if a peer is
 looking for rare data shared by only a few other peers, then it is highly unlikely that search will be successful. Since there is no correlation
between a peer and the content managed by it, there is no guarantee that flooding will find a peer that has the desired data.
Flooding also causes a high amount of signaling traffic in the network and hence such networks typically have very poor search efficiency.
 Many of the popular P2P networks are unstructured.
In pure P2P networks: Peers act as equals, merging the roles of clients and server. In such networks, there is no central server managing the network, neither is there a central router. Some examples of pure P2P Application Layer networks designed for peer-to-peer file sharing are gnutella (pre v0.4) and Freenet.
There also exist hybrid P2P systems, which distribute their clients into two groups: client nodes and overlay nodes. Typically, each client is able to act according to the momentary need of the network and can become part of the respective overlay network used to coordinate the P2P structure. This division between normal and 'better' nodes is done in order to address the scaling problems on early pure P2P networks. As examples for such networks can be named modern implementations of gnutella (after v0.4) and Gnutella2.
Another type of hybrid P2P network are networks using on the one hand central server or bootstrapping mechanisms, on the other hand P2P
for their data transfers. These networks are in general called 'centralized networks' because of their lack of ability to work without their
central server(s). An example for such a network is the eDonkey network (often also called eD2k).

smoking habit

Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. This is primarily practised as a route of administration for recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. It can also be done as a part of rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment.
The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper. Other smoking implements include pipescigarsbidishookahsvaporizers and bongs. It has been suggested that smoking-related disease kills one half of all long term smokers but these diseases may also be contracted by non-smokers. A 2007 report states that about 4.9 million people worldwide each year die as a result of smoking.

female sexual health

Menstruation (a period) is a major stage of puberty in girls; it's one of the many physical signs that a girl is turning into a woman.
And like a lot of the other changes associated with puberty, menstruation can be confusing. Some girls can't wait to start their periods, whereas others may feel afraid or anxious. Many girls (and guys!) don't have a complete understanding of a woman's reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual cycle, making the process seem even more mysterious.
When girls begin to go through puberty (usually starting between the ages of 8 and 13), their bodies and minds change in many ways. The hormones in their bodies stimulate new physical development, such as growth and breast development. About 2 to 2½ years after a girl's breasts begin to develop, she usually gets her first menstrual period.

Nepal's history.

The origin of the word "Nepal" is from the two words "Ne" and "Pala" which was developed as "Nepal" .
The word "Nepal" is believed by scholars to be derived from the word "Nepa:" which refers to the Newar Kingdom, the present day Kathmandu Valley. In early Sanskrit sources (Atharvaveda Parisista)and in Gupta period inscriptions, the country is referred to as Nepala. The Newars of present day Nepal, the inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley and its peripheries, were referred as "Nepa:" before the advent of Shah dynasty.
Ne Muni
Local legends say that a Hindu sage named "Ne" established himself in the valley of Kathmandu in prehistoric times and that the word "Nepal" came into existence as the place protected ("pala" in Sanskrit) by the sage "Ne". This folk etymology of the name Nepal means, "the country looked after by Ne
He is said to have performed religious ceremonies at Teku, at the confluence of the Bagmati and Bishnumati rivers. and to have selected a pious cowherd to be the first of the many kings of the Gopala Dynasty. These rulers are said to have ruled Nepal for over 500 years. He selected Bhuktaman to be the first king in the line of the Gopala (Cowherd) Dynasty. The Gopala dynasty is said to have ruled for 621 years. Yakshya Gupta was the last king of this dynasty.
However, according to the Skanda Purana, a rishi called "Ne" or "Nemuni" used to live in Himalaya. In the Pashupati Purana, he is mentioned as a saint and a protector. He is said to have practised meditation at the Bagmati and Kesavati rivers  and to have taught there.

Nepali topi

Nepal is a country of  Various Culture, Language  and Dress up. Nepali people ware different kind of dresses  according to the cast and religions. Among Them Dhaka topi (Nepali hat) is one. A Dhaka topi or Nepali topi is a type of hat, popular in Nepal. The hat is made of a fabric called dhaka, which is also used for a type of blouse, a dhaka-ko-cholo.
Dhaka Topi

Nepali Dress
The word topi means "hat" in the Nepali language. Men wear a long kurta dawra suruyal and patuka instead of a belt. Ganesh Man Maharjan created the Nepali topi, in the town of Palpa. Which is also known as palpali topi.
This kind of topi is a part of the Nepali national dress.

Nepali Khukuri.

Khukuri is the national knife of Nepal.An ancient blade-form: khukuris of five hundred years or more hang from the walls of Nepal's National Museum, dating back to the Malla period. Some have suggested that khukuri design is linked to the ancient Greek kopis knife and that the form was introduced into the Indian subcontinent by Alexander's Macedonian army, which invaded north-west India in the 4th-century B.C. If so, then the khukuri is perhaps also linked to the ancient Egyptian kopesh blade, likely the model for the Greek kopis, as well as to the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian seax. However, it is also possible that the khukuri is simply a design native to the hills of the Himalayas, perhaps originating from an agricultural tool (as which it continues to serve to the present day).



 This seems to be the view of Lord Egerton of Tatton, who writes: '[the Gurkhas'] national weapon is the Kukri , originally a kind of bill-hook, for cutting through small wood in the dense low jungles of the Teraí and the Himalayans' (pg. 100). The Nepalese also use a larger knife, or sword, called a kora, which also has an inner cutting edge like the khukuri. The blades of koras show an expansion near the point, weighting the tip to provide a more powerful downward blow. Koras are generally ceremonial, and as Egerton remarks, 'those who use it skilfully are enabled to cut a sheep in two at a single blow' .

Nepali folk music

Folk music is an English term encompassing both traditional folk music and contemporary folk music. The term originated in the 19th century. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. This music is also referred to as traditional music and, in US, as "roots music".
Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction. This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two.
