Trolley buses – once a major means of transportation – are now confined to the history books. The rope lines of the eco-friendly trolley buses are still visible in the core areas of Kathmandu. As the buses are dumped in the junkyard, the dream of Kathmanduities to ride trolley buses is not possible anytime soon.</p> <p> The trolley bus service was started in 1975 in the capital with a grant of Rs 40 million from the Chinese government. During the initial period, 22 trolley buses operated from Tripureshwar to Surya Binayak, Bhaktapur. In 1996, additional ten trolley buses operated in different routes of the capital. But, in 2008, the service came to an abrupt end.</p> <p> Knowledgeable sources say power-cuts were the main reason behind the fall out of trolley buses in the capital.</p> <p> Meanwhile, the eighth five-year plan (1992-1997) of the National Planning Commission had proposed expanding the routes of trolley bus service from Tripureshwar to Kirtipur, and Thapathali to Pulchowk via Patandhoka. But the plan could not materialize.</p> <p> After the unofficial blockade by the Indian government in 2015, the then prime minister KP Sharma Oli had announced to revive the bus service. But, later the government itself scrapped the committee formed to promote trolley bus service in the country.</p> <p> The Asian Development Bank had also publicized a report to operate new trolley bus service in the capital. But, the report was also not implemented. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-05', 'modified' => '2019-03-05', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9971', 'image' => '20190305024045__MG_0380.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-03-05 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10202', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Stock Watch at 2 pm', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.', 'content' => '<p> Pic. showing Nepse of 1 hour</p> <p> </p> <p> March 5, 3<sup>rd</sup> Hour</p> <p> </p> <p> Weekly Pivot (P) = 1107.31</p> <p> Current Hour Pivot (P’) = 1103.58</p> <p> Current Market Price (CMP) = 1102.97</p> <p> </p> <p> CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.</p> <p> </p> <p> This hour OHLC is as following:-</p> <p> O= 1103.55</p> <p> H= 1104.80</p> <p> L= 1102.97</p> <p> C= 1102.97</p> <p> </p> <p> Market turnover of the third hour (1 pm - 2 pm) = Rs. 6.05 crores</p> <p> Market turnover of the previous hour (12 pm - 1 pm) = Rs. 4.71 crores</p> <p> Market turnover of the first hour (11 am - 12 pm) = Rs. 2.96 crores</p> <p> </p> <p> The top five turn over making scrips are: </p> <p> Scrips Turnover LTP</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:492px;" width="492"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NLIC</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 15,122,818.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 1,054.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>ALICL</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 10,960,072.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 541.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NICA</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 7,366,544.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 380.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NMB</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 6,045,457.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 305.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>UPPER</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 4,926,888.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 223.00</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-05', 'modified' => '2019-03-05', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9968', 'image' => '20190305021235_3rd hour 5th march.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-03-05 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10201', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => '56 Percent of Population Connected to Internet', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 5: A total of 56 percent of the country’s population is connected with broadband internet, according to the latest report of Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA).', 'content' => '<p> March 5: A total of 56 percent of the country’s population is connected with broadband internet, according to the latest report of Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA).

It is paramount that we remove the barriers that hold women back, and with this report we aim to demonstrate that reforms are possible, and to accelerate change.”</p> <p> The index, introduced in the study Women, Business and the Law 2019: A Decade of Reform, looks at milestones in a woman’s working life, from starting a job through to getting a pension, and legal protections associated with each of these stages. The data spans a ten-year period where 187 countries are scored according to eight indicators, reads a press statement issued by the World Bank.</p> <p> Achieving gender equality is not a short-term process, requiring strong political will and a concerted effort by governments, civil society, international organizations among others, but legal and regulatory reforms can play a foundational role as an important first step. </p> <p> According to the World Bank, progress over the last ten years in the areas measured by the index has been significant. During this time, the global average has risen from 70 to 75. A total of 131 economies have made 274 reforms to laws and regulations that improve women’s economic inclusion. Meanwhile, 35 countries implemented legal protections against sexual harassment at work, protecting nearly two billion more women than a decade ago.</p> <p> The report further said that 22 economies removed restrictions on women’s work, reducing the likelihood that women are kept out of working in certain sectors of the economy. And 13 economies introduced laws mandating equal remuneration for work of equal value.</p> <p> Six economies – Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Sweden – now hold perfect scores of 100, meaning they give women and men equal legal rights in the measured areas. A decade ago, no economy could make that claim. Under this index, economies that conducted reforms experienced bigger increases in the percentage of women working overall, leading to women’s economic empowerment. </p> <p> Despite these efforts, women in many parts of the world still face discriminatory laws and regulations at every point in their working life. Fifty-six countries – spanning all regions and income levels – enacted no reforms at all to improve women’s equality of opportunity over the ten-year period. The pace of reform was the slowest in the category of managing assets – examining gender differences in property rights.</p> <p> The study develops new insight into how women’s employment and entrepreneurship are affected by legal discrimination, and in turn how this affects economic outcomes such as women’s participation in the labor market. The new index aims to lay a roadmap for progress over time and identify potential areas where more work is needed, to inspire reforms that benefit gender equality.</p> <p> The new index was released on February 27.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9955', 'image' => '20190303021325_contacts.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10188', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Stock watch at 1 pm', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.', 'content' => '<p> Pic. showing Nepse of 1 hour</p> <p> </p> <p> March 3, 2<sup>nd</sup> Hour</p> <p> </p> <p> Weekly Pivot (P) = 1107.31</p> <p> Current Hour Pivot (P’) = 1104.39</p> <p> Current Market Price (CMP) = 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.</p> <p> </p> <p> This hour OHLC is as following:-</p> <p> O= 1107.18</p> <p> H= 1107.18</p> <p> L= 1102.63</p> <p> C= 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> Market turnover in this hour (12 pm-1 pm)= Rs. 6.37 crores</p> <p> Market turnover of the previous hour (11 am-12 pm) = Rs. 3.15 crores</p> <p> </p> <p> The top five turn over making scrips are: </p> <p> Scrips Turnover LTP</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:489px;" width="489"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NLIC</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 13,508,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 1,043.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>JBNLPO</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 6,300,000.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 100.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NMB</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 5,276,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 304.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>UPPER</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 4,637,407.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 224.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>PRVU</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 3,250,592.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 212.00</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9954', 'image' => '20190303011645_3 march 2nd hour.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10187', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Export of Woolen Products Up', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 3: The export of woolen products in the first six months of fiscal year 2018/19 increased by 9.8 percent compared to the corresponding period of previous fiscal year.', 'content' => '<p> <style type="text/css"> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Times;

But, later the government itself scrapped the committee formed to promote trolley bus service in the country.</p> <p> The Asian Development Bank had also publicized a report to operate new trolley bus service in the capital.

It is paramount that we remove the barriers that hold women back, and with this report we aim to demonstrate that reforms are possible, and to accelerate change.”</p> <p> The index, introduced in the study Women, Business and the Law 2019: A Decade of Reform, looks at milestones in a woman’s working life, from starting a job through to getting a pension, and legal protections associated with each of these stages. The data spans a ten-year period where 187 countries are scored according to eight indicators, reads a press statement issued by the World Bank.</p> <p> Achieving gender equality is not a short-term process, requiring strong political will and a concerted effort by governments, civil society, international organizations among others, but legal and regulatory reforms can play a foundational role as an important first step. </p> <p> According to the World Bank, progress over the last ten years in the areas measured by the index has been significant. During this time, the global average has risen from 70 to 75. A total of 131 economies have made 274 reforms to laws and regulations that improve women’s economic inclusion. Meanwhile, 35 countries implemented legal protections against sexual harassment at work, protecting nearly two billion more women than a decade ago.</p> <p> The report further said that 22 economies removed restrictions on women’s work, reducing the likelihood that women are kept out of working in certain sectors of the economy. And 13 economies introduced laws mandating equal remuneration for work of equal value.</p> <p> Six economies – Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Sweden – now hold perfect scores of 100, meaning they give women and men equal legal rights in the measured areas. A decade ago, no economy could make that claim. Under this index, economies that conducted reforms experienced bigger increases in the percentage of women working overall, leading to women’s economic empowerment. </p> <p> Despite these efforts, women in many parts of the world still face discriminatory laws and regulations at every point in their working life. Fifty-six countries – spanning all regions and income levels – enacted no reforms at all to improve women’s equality of opportunity over the ten-year period. The pace of reform was the slowest in the category of managing assets – examining gender differences in property rights.</p> <p> The study develops new insight into how women’s employment and entrepreneurship are affected by legal discrimination, and in turn how this affects economic outcomes such as women’s participation in the labor market. The new index aims to lay a roadmap for progress over time and identify potential areas where more work is needed, to inspire reforms that benefit gender equality.</p> <p> The new index was released on February 27.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9955', 'image' => '20190303021325_contacts.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10188', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Stock watch at 1 pm', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.', 'content' => '<p> Pic. showing Nepse of 1 hour</p> <p> </p> <p> March 3, 2<sup>nd</sup> Hour</p> <p> </p> <p> Weekly Pivot (P) = 1107.31</p> <p> Current Hour Pivot (P’) = 1104.39</p> <p> Current Market Price (CMP) = 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.</p> <p> </p> <p> This hour OHLC is as following:-</p> <p> O= 1107.18</p> <p> H= 1107.18</p> <p> L= 1102.63</p> <p> C= 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> Market turnover in this hour (12 pm-1 pm)= Rs. 6.37 crores</p> <p> Market turnover of the previous hour (11 am-12 pm) = Rs. 3.15 crores</p> <p> </p> <p> The top five turn over making scrips are: </p> <p> Scrips Turnover LTP</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:489px;" width="489"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NLIC</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 13,508,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 1,043.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>JBNLPO</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 6,300,000.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 100.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NMB</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 5,276,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 304.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>UPPER</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 4,637,407.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 224.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>PRVU</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 3,250,592.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 212.00</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9954', 'image' => '20190303011645_3 march 2nd hour.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10187', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Export of Woolen Products Up', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 3: The export of woolen products in the first six months of fiscal year 2018/19 increased by 9.8 percent compared to the corresponding period of previous fiscal year.', 'content' => '<p> <style type="text/css"> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Times;

But, in 2008, the service came to an abrupt end.</p> <p> Knowledgeable sources say power-cuts were the main reason behind the fall out of trolley buses in the capital.</p> <p> Meanwhile, the eighth five-year plan (1992-1997) of the National Planning Commission had proposed expanding the routes of trolley bus service from Tripureshwar to Kirtipur, and Thapathali to Pulchowk via Patandhoka.

But, later the government itself scrapped the committee formed to promote trolley bus service in the country.</p> <p> The Asian Development Bank had also publicized a report to operate new trolley bus service in the capital.

It is paramount that we remove the barriers that hold women back, and with this report we aim to demonstrate that reforms are possible, and to accelerate change.”</p> <p> The index, introduced in the study Women, Business and the Law 2019: A Decade of Reform, looks at milestones in a woman’s working life, from starting a job through to getting a pension, and legal protections associated with each of these stages. The data spans a ten-year period where 187 countries are scored according to eight indicators, reads a press statement issued by the World Bank.</p> <p> Achieving gender equality is not a short-term process, requiring strong political will and a concerted effort by governments, civil society, international organizations among others, but legal and regulatory reforms can play a foundational role as an important first step. </p> <p> According to the World Bank, progress over the last ten years in the areas measured by the index has been significant. During this time, the global average has risen from 70 to 75. A total of 131 economies have made 274 reforms to laws and regulations that improve women’s economic inclusion. Meanwhile, 35 countries implemented legal protections against sexual harassment at work, protecting nearly two billion more women than a decade ago.</p> <p> The report further said that 22 economies removed restrictions on women’s work, reducing the likelihood that women are kept out of working in certain sectors of the economy. And 13 economies introduced laws mandating equal remuneration for work of equal value.</p> <p> Six economies – Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Sweden – now hold perfect scores of 100, meaning they give women and men equal legal rights in the measured areas. A decade ago, no economy could make that claim. Under this index, economies that conducted reforms experienced bigger increases in the percentage of women working overall, leading to women’s economic empowerment. </p> <p> Despite these efforts, women in many parts of the world still face discriminatory laws and regulations at every point in their working life. Fifty-six countries – spanning all regions and income levels – enacted no reforms at all to improve women’s equality of opportunity over the ten-year period. The pace of reform was the slowest in the category of managing assets – examining gender differences in property rights.</p> <p> The study develops new insight into how women’s employment and entrepreneurship are affected by legal discrimination, and in turn how this affects economic outcomes such as women’s participation in the labor market. The new index aims to lay a roadmap for progress over time and identify potential areas where more work is needed, to inspire reforms that benefit gender equality.</p> <p> The new index was released on February 27.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9955', 'image' => '20190303021325_contacts.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10188', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Stock watch at 1 pm', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.', 'content' => '<p> Pic. showing Nepse of 1 hour</p> <p> </p> <p> March 3, 2<sup>nd</sup> Hour</p> <p> </p> <p> Weekly Pivot (P) = 1107.31</p> <p> Current Hour Pivot (P’) = 1104.39</p> <p> Current Market Price (CMP) = 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.</p> <p> </p> <p> This hour OHLC is as following:-</p> <p> O= 1107.18</p> <p> H= 1107.18</p> <p> L= 1102.63</p> <p> C= 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> Market turnover in this hour (12 pm-1 pm)= Rs. 6.37 crores</p> <p> Market turnover of the previous hour (11 am-12 pm) = Rs. 3.15 crores</p> <p> </p> <p> The top five turn over making scrips are: </p> <p> Scrips Turnover LTP</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:489px;" width="489"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NLIC</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 13,508,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 1,043.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>JBNLPO</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 6,300,000.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 100.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NMB</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 5,276,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 304.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>UPPER</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 4,637,407.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 224.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>PRVU</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 3,250,592.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 212.00</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9954', 'image' => '20190303011645_3 march 2nd hour.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10187', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Export of Woolen Products Up', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 3: The export of woolen products in the first six months of fiscal year 2018/19 increased by 9.8 percent compared to the corresponding period of previous fiscal year.', 'content' => '<p> <style type="text/css"> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Times;

But, in 2008, the service came to an abrupt end.</p> <p> Knowledgeable sources say power-cuts were the main reason behind the fall out of trolley buses in the capital.</p> <p> Meanwhile, the eighth five-year plan (1992-1997) of the National Planning Commission had proposed expanding the routes of trolley bus service from Tripureshwar to Kirtipur, and Thapathali to Pulchowk via Patandhoka.

But, later the government itself scrapped the committee formed to promote trolley bus service in the country.</p> <p> The Asian Development Bank had also publicized a report to operate new trolley bus service in the capital.

It is paramount that we remove the barriers that hold women back, and with this report we aim to demonstrate that reforms are possible, and to accelerate change.”</p> <p> The index, introduced in the study Women, Business and the Law 2019: A Decade of Reform, looks at milestones in a woman’s working life, from starting a job through to getting a pension, and legal protections associated with each of these stages. The data spans a ten-year period where 187 countries are scored according to eight indicators, reads a press statement issued by the World Bank.</p> <p> Achieving gender equality is not a short-term process, requiring strong political will and a concerted effort by governments, civil society, international organizations among others, but legal and regulatory reforms can play a foundational role as an important first step. </p> <p> According to the World Bank, progress over the last ten years in the areas measured by the index has been significant. During this time, the global average has risen from 70 to 75. A total of 131 economies have made 274 reforms to laws and regulations that improve women’s economic inclusion. Meanwhile, 35 countries implemented legal protections against sexual harassment at work, protecting nearly two billion more women than a decade ago.</p> <p> The report further said that 22 economies removed restrictions on women’s work, reducing the likelihood that women are kept out of working in certain sectors of the economy. And 13 economies introduced laws mandating equal remuneration for work of equal value.</p> <p> Six economies – Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Sweden – now hold perfect scores of 100, meaning they give women and men equal legal rights in the measured areas. A decade ago, no economy could make that claim. Under this index, economies that conducted reforms experienced bigger increases in the percentage of women working overall, leading to women’s economic empowerment. </p> <p> Despite these efforts, women in many parts of the world still face discriminatory laws and regulations at every point in their working life. Fifty-six countries – spanning all regions and income levels – enacted no reforms at all to improve women’s equality of opportunity over the ten-year period. The pace of reform was the slowest in the category of managing assets – examining gender differences in property rights.</p> <p> The study develops new insight into how women’s employment and entrepreneurship are affected by legal discrimination, and in turn how this affects economic outcomes such as women’s participation in the labor market. The new index aims to lay a roadmap for progress over time and identify potential areas where more work is needed, to inspire reforms that benefit gender equality.</p> <p> The new index was released on February 27.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9955', 'image' => '20190303021325_contacts.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10188', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Stock watch at 1 pm', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.', 'content' => '<p> Pic. showing Nepse of 1 hour</p> <p> </p> <p> March 3, 2<sup>nd</sup> Hour</p> <p> </p> <p> Weekly Pivot (P) = 1107.31</p> <p> Current Hour Pivot (P’) = 1104.39</p> <p> Current Market Price (CMP) = 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> CMP is below of weekly pivot and the current hour pivot.</p> <p> </p> <p> This hour OHLC is as following:-</p> <p> O= 1107.18</p> <p> H= 1107.18</p> <p> L= 1102.63</p> <p> C= 1103.36</p> <p> </p> <p> Market turnover in this hour (12 pm-1 pm)= Rs. 6.37 crores</p> <p> Market turnover of the previous hour (11 am-12 pm) = Rs. 3.15 crores</p> <p> </p> <p> The top five turn over making scrips are: </p> <p> Scrips Turnover LTP</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:489px;" width="489"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NLIC</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 13,508,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 1,043.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>JBNLPO</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 6,300,000.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 100.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>NMB</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 5,276,916.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 304.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>UPPER</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 4,637,407.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 224.00</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> <strong>PRVU</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 3,250,592.00</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> 212.00</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-03-03', 'modified' => '2019-03-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9954', 'image' => '20190303011645_3 march 2nd hour.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-03-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10187', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Export of Woolen Products Up', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 3: The export of woolen products in the first six months of fiscal year 2018/19 increased by 9.8 percent compared to the corresponding period of previous fiscal year.', 'content' => '<p> <style type="text/css"> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Times;
