You can get a lot of literature in Nepal about Gobar Gas. I remember Fr
Soboulle of St Xavier's Godavari did a lot of work in this area. His
demo of his setup was quite impressive. Like any other gas source (no
stench), blue flame. Tribhuvan University  (RECAST) has also done a lot
of work in this area. You should find literature by both. From
Soboulle's account (I was in fourth grade then so my memory is strained)
the greatest cost (after the cows) is the metal tank that holds the
rising gas. Also he said cow dung is better than water buffalo dung.

Mirco-hydro plants are catching on since the government allowed plants
smaller than 10MW to be installed by the people and the private sector.
With a small turbine plugged to a fast rivulet (not a river) one can get
enough electricity for a few light bulbs for a village of say a hundred
houses. Electric heaters are still discouraged.

So many rivers, yet so little energy.....

	KATMANDU, Nepal (UPI) -- Nepalese human rights organizations and
Bhutanese refugees Friday staged a protest against the visiting
Bhutanese foreign minister over his country's forced expulsion of ethnic
Nepalese.
	Bhutanese Foreign Minister Dawa Tshering, arriving at the
headquarters of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation
(SAARC), was greeted by peaceful demonstrators waving black flags and
bearing signs that read, ``I want to return to my school'' and ``I want
to return to my homeland.''
	Bhutan, faced by growing numbers of ethnic Nepalese who are
protesting its monarchy and threaten to overwhelm ethnic Bhutanese in
their own homeland, has evicted some 70,000 refugees it claims are
illegal Nepalese migrants.
	But the United Nations has accepted the refugee status of those
evicted and has begun aiding them in camps in the eastern Nepal district
of Jhapa.
	Nepal has asked for an international effort to verify the nationality
of the refugees.
	Dawa Tshering, who arrived Thursday in Katmandu for the SAARC
meeting, planned to hold bilateral talks Sunday on the refugee issue
with Nepalese leaders, including Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala.
	``I will try my best and I am sure that your side will try its best
to resolve the issue,'' Dawa Tshering said upon his arrival Thursday.
	The Human Rights Organization of Bhutan and the Students Union of
Bhutan in a joint press statement Friday said, ``We trust that the
Bhutanese foreign minister will show sincerity of purpose during his
discussions and hope that the groundwork being undertaken in Katmandu
will pave the way for the emergence of a speedy solution during the
meeting of the heads of government in Dhaka this December.''
	Koirala and Bhutanese King Jigme Singhe Wangchuk were to discuss the
refugee issue next month in the Bangladesh capital during a summit of
the seven-nation SAARC.
	``On behalf of all Bhutanese in exile we wish to place on record our
gratitude and appreciation to all individuals, agencies and governments
that have played a role in getting the Bhutanese foreign minister to
visit Katmandu for a dialogue,'' the joint statement said.

              NEPALI EDITOR FACES JAIL OVER CARTOON
              _____________________________________

    Nepal's Supreme Court said editor Harihar Birahi would go to
jail for a week unless he apologised publicly over a cartoon that
lawyers allege ridiculed the country's top judges.

   The court gave Birahi, editor of the weekly newspaper Vimarsha,
until November 30 to decide whether to serve his time and pay a 500
rupee ($11) fine or apologise.

   It was not immediately known which option he would choose.

   The Supreme Court on Sunday sentenced Birahi for contempt of
court over a cartoon he published about a delicate political case.

    In the cartoon, two groups of people stand beneath a coconut
tree, each  urging a monkey to drop them a coconut labelled with
the name of the case.

   The monkey's face, according to lawyers who brought the case
against Birahi, bore an uncommon resemblance to Chief Justice
Bishwanath Upadhyaya.

development will be pushed back by 25 years.  in the writ petition

	KATMANDU, Nepal (UPI) -- Two days of talks between Nepal and Bhutan
over the fates of some 70,000 ethnic Nepalese allegedly forced by
persecution to leave Bhutan ended Monday with no agreement but a promise
of further negotiations.
	Bhutanese Foreign Minister Dawa Tshering, in an indication that
progress remained to be made on a key issue of dispute, refused to
answer whether he accepted the U.N. classification of the people
involved as refugees.
	``Please do not press me'' on the question of refugee status,
Tshering told reporters at Katmandu International Airport before leaving
for home.
	``The mandate of the talks was to prepare grounds for meetings
between (Bhutanese) King Jigme Singhe Wangchuk and (Nepalese) Prime
minister Girija Koirala in Dhaka next month,'' Tshering said.
	Koirala and King Jigme were expected to continue discussions on the
matter when they meet next month in Bangladesh during a summit meeting
of seven South Asian nations.
	``The talks were not substantive,'' Tshering said of the two-day
session in Katmandu. ``They were secret.''
	But, Tshering said: ``Both sides are satisfied.''
	The head of the Nepalese side, Tourism Minister Ram Hari Joshi, also
declined to make any substantive comment on the negotiations.
	``The talks are still continuing,'' he said.
	The ethnic Nepalese refugees, who are mostly Hindus, have said they
fled or were forced to leave their homes in Bhutan after the ruling
Buddhist Dukpas imposed a one-language, one-dress code.
	The Thimphu government claims the ethnic Nepalese, who already
outnumber ethnic Bhutanese in southern parts of the tiny country, are
crusading against the monarchy in a thinly disguised attempt to assert
their own sovereignty.
	The estimated 70,000 refugees, made up of men, women and children,
are living in squalid camps along river banks in Jhapa.
	Bhutan says the refugees are illegal immigrants but the United
Nations has accepted their refugee status and started assisting them.
	Tshering told reporters that while no solution was reached, he
realized the refugees ``had become a burden to you (Nepal).''

 Having 2 versions of Whisky in the jar, I was wondering what the story 
behind it is.  I have a more than passing interest in (older) ballads, and
this sounds like it could come from th 16'th or 17'th century ("I first 
produced my pistol and then produced my rapier").  One version has the 
narrator coming over mountains, while the other has him coming over an ocean.
Any help?  Both of these are on collections of drinking songs (mountains are
on the collection of Irish songs, ocean is from the Scottish collection).  I 
have checked my ballad books, but I can't find it.
Thanks,

Charlie Haughey's eagles?  On the subject of CJ, how does he plan to 
spend his retirement from Dail Eireann?  Vindicated, I guess.  At
least Charlie could work successfully in Govt. with the PD's a party
founded upon hatred of him personally, while Albert has demonstrated
that he is the gobshite we all thought he was.  Did any swing back
to Albert occur this weeks as a sympathy for the hammering the media
was giving him?  My father, on the phone, early in the week suspected
there would be.

On the subject of complete and utter gobshites, will Seani-n Doherty
regain a seat in the Dail?  I heard he tried some of his usual monkey
business to keep a TD off the ballot locally, but the meanies back at
HQ scotched (flame shield up :-) that little effort.

(Yes this is an appropriate subject in a discussion of Birds of Prey :-).

In the latest issue of the National Geographic magazine is an
item in the Geographica section about a trial program to
return sea eagles to Ireland. What follows is a paraphrase:

The item informs us that the Irish term for these birds is
iolar sh/uil na gr/eine -- the "eagle with sunlit eyes." The
last breeding pair was recorded in Ireland in 1898. The
eagles, with their six-foot wingspans, were once common in
Ireland and much of the rest of Europe until hunters shot
migratory birds and poison bait set out for stray dogs and
vermin finished off the rest.

Ireland now bans poison baits, permitting the eagles'
reintroduction.

A pair of birds was released last April on the island of
Inishvickillane off the Dingle Peninsula. The young male
vanished within weeks, but the female has survived and will
be joined by another male soon (from the German Raptor
Research Center near Guttenburg).

Sean McKeown, manager of Ireland's Fota Wildlife Park, is
quoted as saying he expects the Irish venture to succeed in
about 20 years. "A 17-year effort in Scotland now counts ten
pairs of eagles."
