Predicting Radio-Broadcasting Viewshed for Sierra County, New Mexico
Radio-broadcasting viewshed for Sierra County, New Mexico was predicted using Arc-GIS model. The study utilized digital elevation data, location of radio towers, and their height to produce
viewshed map with acceptable results without spending large monetary
cost. The final color-coded viewshed map predicts areas that can
receive radio broadcasts and those don’t.
This viewshed project was carried out to fulfill the requirements of project work for GEOG 487 GIS Practicum at New Mexico State University.

Politics: Service or Profession?
Politics is a mere service, not a profession. Political service comes from dedication and willingness to serve society and nation. It should not be made a primary source of living. When politics becomes profession, we no longer have true politician--leader, and the nation plunge into misery.
Definitely leaders can't do it as a part time. For this reason, state should provide remuneration for their livelihood. However, leadership is not a position like professional services; it is not a tenure track job either. It is a commitment and state of mind to serve people. When politicians have no profession other then the politics, they have no other choices than to stay forever in the office by hook or crook. And, problems start from here—SATTA politics (सत्ता राजनीति), corruption, nepotism, favoritism, etc. This is a major problem of Nepal and other developing countries.
