The climate is changing , why aren’t we ?

Our climate is changing around us faster than predicted. From more frequent and extreme storms to unprecedented heatwaves, from landslides to earthquake , we’re feeling the impacts of human-caused global warming. Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere. Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. Long-lived gases that remain semi-permanently in the atmosphere and do not respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are described as “forcing” climate change. Gases, such as water vapor, which respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are seen as “feedbacks.”

SOME OF THE GASSES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE ARE :

  • Water vapor. The most abundant greenhouse gas, but importantly, it acts as a feedback to the climate. Water vapor increases as the Earth’s atmosphere warms, but so does the possibility of clouds and precipitation, making these some of the most important feedback mechanisms to the greenhouse effect.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2). A minor but very important component of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels. Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by 48% since the Industrial Revolution began. This is the most important long-lived “forcing” of climate change.
  • Methane. A hydrocarbon gas produced both through natural sources and human activities, including the decomposition of wastes in landfills, agriculture, and especially rice cultivation, as well as ruminant digestion and manure management associated with domestic livestock. On a molecule-for-molecule basis, methane is a far more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but also one which is much less abundant in the atmosphere.
  • Nitrous oxide. A powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial and organic fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion, nitric acid production, and biomass burning.
  • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Synthetic compounds entirely of industrial origin used in a number of applications, but now largely regulated in production and release to the atmosphere by international agreement for their ability to contribute to destruction of the ozone layer. They are also greenhouse gases.

The consequences of changing the natural atmospheric greenhouse are difficult to predict, but some effects seem likely:

  • Earth becomes warmer .
  • Stronger green house effect will warm the earth , melt the glaciers , increasing sea levels
  • Outside of a greenhouse, higher atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can have both positive and negative effects on crop yields. Some laboratory experiments suggest that elevated CO2 levels can increase plant growth. However, other factors, such as changing temperatures, ozone, and water and nutrient constraints, may more than counteract any potential increase in yield.

SYLVIA PLATH

 WHO WAS SYLVIA PLATH?

Born in 1932 to middle-class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem at the age of eight. A sensitive person who tended to be a bit of a perfectionist she was what many would consider a model daughter and student – popular, a straight-A student, always winning the best prizes. She won a scholarship to Smith College in 1950 and even then she had an enviable list of publications. She wrote over four hundred poems.


However, beneath the surface of her seeming perfection were some grave discontinuities, some of which probably were caused by the death of her father, an entomologist, when she was eight.

During the summer after her junior year in college, Sylvia made her first (and almost successful) attempt at suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. The experience is described in her autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, published in 1963. After a period of recovery, which involved electroshock and psychotherapy she once again pursued academic and literary success, graduating from Smith summa cum laude in 1955 and winning a Fulbright scholarship to study in Cambridge, England.


In 1956 she married Ted Hughes, an English poet, and in 1960, at the age of twenty-eight, she published her first book, The Colossus in England. The poems found in the book clearly showed the dedication with which she pursued her apprenticeship, yet they only gave a taste of what was to come in the poems she began writing in early 1961. She and Hughes settled for a brief time in an English country village in Devon, England. However, less than two years after the birth of their first child the marriage disintegrated.

In the winter of 1962-63, one of the coldest in centuries, Sylvia lived in a small flat in London, with her two children, ill with the flu and nearly broke. She would sometimes finish a poem a day. In her last poems, death is given a cruel, physical allure and psychic pain becomes almost tactile.

On February 11, 1963, Sylvia Plath succeeded in killing herself with cooking gas at the age of thirty. Two years after her death, Ariel, a collection of some of her last poems was published, which was followed by Crossing the Water and Winter Trees in 1971, and in 1981 The Collected Poems was published, edited by none other than Ted Hughes.

SOME OF HER WORKS

1. MIRROR

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see I swallow immediately
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel, only truthful ‚
The eye of a little god, four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long
I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.
Faces and darkness separate us over and over.

Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,
Searching my reaches for what she really is.
Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.
I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.
She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.
I am important to her. She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

2. A LIFE

ouch it: it won’t shrink like an eyeball,
This egg-shaped bailiwick, clear as a tear.
Here’s yesterday, last year —-
Palm-spear and lily distinct as flora in the vast
Windless threadwork of a tapestry.

Flick the glass with your fingernail:
It will ping like a Chinese chime in the slightest air stir
Though nobody in there looks up or bothers to answer.
The inhabitants are light as cork,
Every one of them permanently busy.

At their feet, the sea waves bow in single file.
Never trespassing in bad temper:
Stalling in midair,
Short-reined, pawing like paradeground horses.
Overhead, the clouds sit tasseled and fancy

As Victorian cushions. This family
Of valentine faces might please a collector:
They ring true, like good china.

Elsewhere the landscape is more frank.
The light falls without letup, blindingly.

A woman is dragging her shadow in a circle
About a bald hospital saucer.
It resembles the moon or a sheet of blank paper
And appears to have suffered a sort of private blitzkrieg.
She lives quietly

With no attachments, like a foetus in a bottle,
The obsolete house, the sea, flattened to a picture
She has one too many dimensions to enter.
Grief and anger, exorcised,
Leave her alone now.

The future is a grey seagull
Tattling in its cat-voice of departure.
Age and terror, like nurses, attend her,
And a drowned man, complaining of the great cold,
Crawls up out of the sea.

3. CUT

What a thrill –
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of hinge

Of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush.

Little pilgrim,
The Indian’s axed your scalp.
Your turkey wattle
Carpet rolls

Straight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle
Of pink fizz. A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, everyone.

Whose side are they on?
O my
Homunculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to kill

The thin
Papery feeling.
Saboteur,
Kamikaze man –

The stain on your
Gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when
The balled
Pulp of your heart
Confronts its small
Mill of silence

How you jump –
Trepanned veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thumb stump.


IS PAPERLESS OFFICE A REALITY OR NOT?

While going completely paperless might not be a reality as of now, but the changes that comes with the modern office are encouraging companies to do so.

PAPERLESS OFFICE:

A paperless office is a work environment in which the use of paper is eliminated or greatly reduced. it is done by converting paper and other documents into digital form. It is a workplace that has minimal paper-based processes.

BENEFITS OF PAPERLESS OFFICE:

There are many perks of paperless office. Some include

  • Strengthened Document Security & Confidentiality
  • It has easy access to data.
  • Eliminating paper work helps you save money spent on printing and storing documents.
  • Less paper waste means decreased carbon footprint.
  • Adhere to Audit Guideliness.

DISADVANTAGES OF PAPERLESS OFFICE:

As the proverb goes “A coin has 2 sides” likewise paperless office also has its own disadvantages

  • Software Maintenance is a huge problem.
  • Legal and Compliance Issues arises.
  • Difficulties in Digitalizing Existing Documents.
  • Security Risks and Viruses.

WHICH IS BETTER?

In case of paper office, paper documentation simply looks more professional. Paper office is that it doesn’t cost a whole lot of money and its much cheaper. Ultimately, it’s much easier to conduct business with a paper-filled office. In paperless office the amount of clutter that can be reduced. Sending big documents and leaflets to business clients can be done at the click of a button. Documents that may have been misplaced or lost entirely can be found with a quick search of the hard drive. Therefore both has its own side of story. To conclude which one is better is still a debate and also a matter of choice.

PAPERLESS OFFICE A REALITY OR NOT?

In this pandemic, paperless seems more likely and imperative. However road to a fully paperless office seems like a long one as of now but it is definitely possible in near future.

Corporate Governance in Indian Companies

Introduction

Corporate Governance refers to the framework in a company comprising the generally accepted practices, policies and processes according to which the firm operates and is managed.

Corporate governance has become an essential component in the functioning of a company, and it has the potential of causing an improved or enhanced market performance. Corporate governance primarily focusses on creating transparency, accountability, and disclosure in the corporate environment. In other words, it promotes ethical practices in the company, allows for efficient communication of information, and proper allocation of responsibility. Another important function of corporate governance is to maintain a judicious balance between the interests of the stakeholders and board of directors. The board of directors are primarily responsible for the operational decisions and processes of the company, and it is imperative to outline their authority with respect to the stakeholders to ensure mutual cooperation and corporate success.

With regard to India, corporate governance has been on the up rise mainly due to globalization and liberalization. The SEBI had made the first ever regulations on corporate governance in 2000, based on the recommendations of the Kumar Mangalam Birla Committee Report and Narayan Murthy Committee Report. With the many national and multinational corporations coming up in India in the face of globalization, there was a need to introduce corporate governance so as to confront the competition that has arisen. Therefore, it is apparent that good corporate governance ensures mutual cooperation and protects the long-term interests of the shareholders. The question then arises whether good corporate governance is also proactively helping companies in their regular financial performance.

The Effects of Corporate Governance on Financial Performance

The financial performance of a firm indicates how successful it has been in its business, and whether it has been able to effectively use its assets in generating revenue. The role that corporate governance plays in benefiting financial performance of Indian companies has been studied extensively over the past years, and varying conclusions can be derived from these studies. The many variables and principles of corporate governance have been studied in the Indian corporate environment so as to ascertain their impact on financial performance. These can be consolidated as such:

  • Board Size: A study conducted by researchers Kathuria and Dash observed the influence of the Board size on financial performance of Indian companies. The results showed that performance improved when the size of the board increased, and that a smaller board of directors was generally not influential in financial growth. Corporate governance principles necessitate that the board of directors collaborate with the other corporate entities so as to ensure better performance.
  • Board Independence: An independent director is one who does not have any vested interest in the company, and works solely to improve the corporate position and credibility of the firm. They also play a large role in enforcing corporate governance standards. Numerous studies conducted with regard to board independence in the Indian context have showed that a larger proportion of independent board directors is associated with improved financial performance.
  • Board Meetings and Committees: As corporate governance principles require the company to maintain transparency and disclosure, conduction of regular board meetings is required. It has been found that Indian companies conducting regular board meetings has caused a better financial performance, as there is constant discussion of the company’s operations and decisions are made that positively impact the company.

Therefore, from the research conducted, it is evident that sound corporate governance and its implementation in Indian companies has the potential of positively impacting financial performance and growth. Some of the more general reasons why corporate governance is seen as a stimulant of financial growth are:

  • Increased access to financing
  • Higher firm valuation
  • Improvement in operational performance
  • Reduced risk of financial crises

Conclusion

Ultimately, it can be inferred that the impact of corporate governance on Indian companies has been known to be favourable for the most part. However, it is important to highlight an important point here. It cannot be concluded that corporate governance has a positive effect on all Indian companies, or for all companies in general. For some there may be an insignificant impact, while for others there might be no impact at all. However, for most companies in most industries, corporate governance implies support in the financial position. Factors mentioned in this paper such as board size, independency, composition, meetings and committees mostly seem to show a positive relationship with financial performance of Indian companies.

The primary goal with which corporate governance is introduced into a company is to increase transparency, disclosure and accountability, which subsequently gives way to other long-term benefits including financial stability and growth. Therefore, many Indian companies are increasingly looking to practice corporate governance. In conclusion, despite the fact that there is no consensus on whether corporate governance has an undeniable positive impact on financial and firm performance, it can be said that it helps the company in many facets regardless.

Toxic Masculinity

Toxic manliness includes social pressing factors for men to act with a specific goal in mind. Furthermore, it’s probable this influences all young men and men in some design. Toxic manliness alludes to the thought that a few actually masculinity for bunch sustains mastery, homophobia, and animosity. This thought that men need to act extreme and try not to show everything feelings can be hurtful to their mental wellbeing and can have genuine ramifications for society, which is the way it became known as “toxic manliness.”

What Is Toxic Masculinity?

Toxic manliness isn’t just about acting like a man. All things considered, it includes the outrageous pressing factor a few men might feel to act in a manner that is really destructive. There are numerous meanings of “toxic manliness” that show up in research just as mainstream society. A few scientists have come to concur that toxic manliness has three center parts .Sturdiness: This is the thought that men ought to be truly impressive, genuinely insensitive, and typically forceful.

Antifeminity: This includes the possibility that men should dismiss whatever is viewed as ladylike, like appearance feeling or tolerating help.

Force: This is the supposition that men should run after getting force and status (social and monetary) so they can acquire the admiration of others.

Glorification of Unhealthy Habits

Toxic manliness lauds undesirable propensities. It’s simply the idea that “care is for women” and men should deal with their bodies like machines by holding back on rest, working out in any event, when they’re harmed, and driving themselves to their actual cutoff points. As well as propelling themselves hard genuinely, toxic manliness deters men from seeing specialists.

A recent report found that men who held the most grounded convictions about manliness were just half as possible as men with more moderate convictions about manliness to get precaution wellbeing care.2 Seeing a doctor for a yearly physical, for instance, negates a few men’s convictions about strength. As well as keeping away from safeguard treatment, toxic manliness likewise supports undesirable practices.

A recent report tracked down that the more men adjusted to manly standards, the more probable they were to take part in dangerous practices, like weighty drinking, utilizing tobacco, and staying away from vegetables. Likewise, they were bound to view such dangerous decisions as being “ordinary.”

Race, Ethnicity, and Gender

A man’s race and identity might assume a part by they way he sees manliness just as how others see him.

A recent report found that among white undergrads, Asian-American men are seen as less masculine than white or Black American men.

The manly requirement to stay emotionless and be a decent supplier can prompt “John Henryism” in African-American men. This term is utilized to portray men who utilize high exertion as an approach to adapt to issues and they keep on doing as such even with persistent pressure and segregation. A recent report connected “John Henryism” to an expanded danger of hypertension and sorrow.

Men who see themselves as more manly are less inclined to participate in what scientists call “helping conduct.” That implies they are not liable to mediate when they witness harassing or when they see somebody being attacked.

A recent report tracked down that toxic manliness can keep men from reassuring a casualty, calling for help, and facing the culprit. Men who supported the conviction that men ought to be solid and forceful were bound to see negative social outcomes related with mediating as a functioning bystander.in occasions of rape, for instance, men who distinguished the most with manly practices were more averse to stop the attack. The examination found that men would intercede in any contention on the off chance that they figured their standing as being customarily manly may be compromised.

A recent report found that among white undergrads, Asian-American men are seen as less masculine than white or Black American men.

The manly requirement to stay emotionless and be a decent supplier can prompt “John Henryism” in African-American men. This term is utilized to portray men who utilize high exertion as an approach to adapt to issues and they keep on doing as such even with persistent pressure and segregation. A recent report connected “John Henryism” to an expanded danger of hypertension and sorrow.

Men who see themselves as more manly are less inclined to participate in what scientists call “helping conduct.” That implies they are not liable to mediate when they witness harassing or when they see somebody being attacked.

A recent report tracked down that toxic manliness can keep men from reassuring a casualty, calling for help, and facing the culprit. Men who supported the conviction that men ought to be solid and forceful were bound to see negative social outcomes related with mediating as a functioning bystander.in occasions of rape, for instance, men who distinguished the most with manly practices were more averse to stop the attack. The examination found that men would intercede in any contention on the off chance that they figured their standing as being customarily manly may be compromised.

Cleopatra, the Beauty Queen of Egypt

 Cleopatra,the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the beauty queen of Egypt, bears an important personality in the annals of history. On account of her, Julius Caesar developed an ambition to become the Roman emperor for which he had to lay down his own life. The defeat was due to a misunderstanding between Cleopatra and her brother in ruling Egypt. In the year 512 B.C, Cleopatra took shelter in Syria where she met Julius Caesar in Alexandria and fell in love with him, instigating him to wage a war against her brother in Egypt. Cleopatra’s brother was killed in the battle by which she became the queen of Egypt before and after she married Caesar. She was the queen even after the death of Caesar. Later she married Marcus Antonius and fought with Augustus Caesar. In 31 B.C. She died consuming venom when everything of her was destroyed. This led to the unification of Egypt with the Roman empire.

 There are lots of unknown facts behind her. Do you know her real name? Cleopatra was actually Cleopatra VII Philopator. Her real name was “Cleopatra Thea Philopator” which means ‘goddess Cleopatra beloved of her father’. There were six Cleopatra before her! We all believe that Cleopatra was an Egyptian. But she was not a pure Egyptian. The genealogy goes back to Ptolemy I Soter, one of Alexander the Great’s generals. Though she was not ethnically Egyptian,she didn’t act like a foreigner to her subjects. And also became the first of the Ptolemaic line to learn Egyptian and adopt many of the customs of Egypt. She was also an intelligent woman who had a good command over almost twelve languages. And also learnt mathematics, philosophy ,oratory and astronomy. She brought a number of books on medicine, charms and the cosmetics who proposed treatments for hair loss and dandruff.

BEAUTY IS NOT WHAT'S ON THE OUTSIDE BUT WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE…


Beauty is not what’s on the outside but what’s on the inside.

The term ‘beauty’ may have very relative significance. Something can be beautiful for us, but ugly for other people. The external beauty of a person is often the first thing that we pay attention to. This is the result of the association of beauty with good and ugliness with evil. Through the outer appearance we make a general opinion about a given person. Such a way of thinking may be very misleading. In order to get to know the person we need to look to the inside – into the soul. This is the place where the real beauty and ugliness are hidden.

Looking beautiful is a desire of almost every individual living on this planet. Emphasis on the word ‘Looking’ in the previous statement. Looking beautiful depends on others and not on our own selves. To understand this, you will have to consider the concept of beauty. There is a famous quote which goes something like this,

Beauty Lies in the eyes of the Beholder’

What this quote is trying to say is that unless you are considered beautiful by the people/society looking at you, you will not be considered beautiful. This is because society has set certain standards of beauty that are followed by most of the population.

These standards are also responsible for creating a sort of frustration/personality complex among the people that fail to meet these standards. This is why inner beauty is important. But what is inner beauty, to be exact? A lot of people come up with excuses when they are approached with the concept of inner beauty. Either these people don’t have an idea of what inner beauty exactly is or they just don’t understand the importance of inner beauty for overall health. As a result, people often base their lives on the wrong notion of beauty.

Inner beauty can be classified into two main categories: Physical and Mental. Physical inner beauty involves the improvement of physical health from the inside. It involves improvements of the bodily systems that aren’t visible from the outside. Mental inner beauty involves the goodness and purity of the thoughts. We see others as we see ourselves. Therefore, to improve the perception of our world, we need to first take control of our own thoughts. Only then can an individual be truly beautiful. A good combination of the physical inner beauty and mental inner beauty can give better fulfillment and health.


According to the above points, I came to know that the inner beauty is very important.

Some people feel proud about their beauty but we should remember that it won’t last long. As we become old our beauty disappears.

Human beings are made up of wet clay of the land. So one day we’ll be going to get mixed up one day.

So, we should keep that in mind and never feel proud of your beauty and don’t not criticize the people whoa re not as beautiful as you are. Because God, the creator of the whole world doesn’t see your beauty outside but sees whether you are beautiful at heart.
