Woh Din

When you are wasting another important year of your life but this time it’s isn’t your fault.

Now it’s been more than a year, the students haven’t seen the colleges and schools, even some of the students are now gonna start their second year in colleges but still they don’t even know how their college campus look like. It is the most hurtful thing that we are spending our most beautiful years of life like this, infront of the laptop and smartphone screens. When the lockdown started I was studying in first year and now I’m third year engineering student, I still don’t know how my classroom, classmates and faculty members look like in real life.

The “Woh Din” which were supposed to filled with joy, happiness, fun with friends and lots of travel are ending with “ Am I audible? Yes sir”. In this lockdown many students suffered and some are still suffering from stress, anxiety and demotivation, besides some are just enjoying it like holidays. Lockdown and the online mode education is pretty nice, just enjoy your time with family, learn new things and many more, until then, the thoughts of future knocks at the door.

While the students are struggling to learn through online mode, the teachers and the colleges are mostly focusing on how they can complete the syllabus as early as possible, teachers are also want to help the students and they are doing their best from their side but everything have some advantages and disadvantages like this, online education also have it’s own disadvantages and advantages.

First we thought that the world is testing our patience but, even the nicest person has it’s limit and now we all have had enough of this, we are too young to dealing with all this but we haven’t given up, but now we really want our college life back, those cafeteria talks, waiting for your friends in parking lot, computer lab fun, bunking class and hanging out with your friends, campus rides and many more.

Now we all are going to complete 2 years, while fighting against this covid19 situation and online mode, in this period we all have experienced a lot of good and bad things like, the time we spent with our family. Similarly, we all struggled with lack of oxygen cylinders, hospital beds and most important is FOOD and after all this time we want is to end this “ Mask-World ”. Hope it will really end very soon and we all will get our old life back with No-Mask and the colleges will start soon, hope the world will come to it’s oldself very soon. But until then please give mental support to them who are suffering from depression and those who are tested covid positive.

And last but not the least please stay home and don’t worry this time also will pass very soon.

Take care.

Pegasus software

                              (Photo: The Guardian)

Before dwelling into Pegasus software let us firstly know what Spyware is. We often must have come across this world specially the computer users. So, spyware is basically a software which is designed to gather data from your device. It is considered as vitriolic in nature. It can communicate your confidential information to the person who is spying at you and has vengeful intentions. People with such intention can get spyware in your system through many ways. Spyware can also affect the functioning of your system. Your daily activities can be slowed down due to this. The method by which it gets into your system varies.

Now let’s dive into Pegasus software. Pegasus made global headlines again in 2021. Phones of Indian politicians, Journalists were hacked using Pegasus software. Though it is said that the Pegasus spyware is only available with the government. However, the Indian government completely denied the scandal. So, what exactly is Pegasus? Pegasus is a type of malicious software which is classified as spyware. It gains access to your personal information in your system and sends it to the attacker. Pegasus is considered as the ultimate spyware for iOS and android. Pegasus was developed by NSO group, an Israeli company. It first came to news in 2016 when an Arab activist received a doubtful message. He then started identifying it. Before it was believed that the Pegasus only targets iOS. It was only after a year that researchers confirmed that Pegasus is equally capable of targeting iOS as well as android devices.

Pegasus got widely highlighted because it was capable of hacking iPads and iPhones which claims to be the best in terms of data security and privacy. Indeed, if someone has Pegasus in their phone, the attacker can automatically turn on phone’s camera and microphone to capture the data. What can be worst than this? The Israeli company sells Pegasus to only sovereign government at about 7-8 million dollars per year. In this whole process of hacking, the user has no clue that their phone has been hacked. The normal phishing method is typically adopted by the attackers to infect the victim’s device. Clicking on the phishing link would start downloading the Pegasus software in the victim’s device without their knowledge. Through this the hacker gets command over the device.

Pegasus is considered as an extremely sophisticated spyware as it is able to gather vast information from the victim’s device such as password, message, account pin, credit card number, voice calls, etc. The other features which make it the most vicious amongst all is that it can self-destruct itself if it fails to communicate with the attacker or if it detects that it has been installed in a device with wrong SIM card. The intention of the NSO group behind making this spyware was good as it was meant for the law enforcement agencies to use it against terrorism. Who knew that it will be viciously used by the hackers for their own destructive motives?

Nature of Partnership

First, to participate in the conduct of the affairs of its business, every partner is entitled. Second that a relationship of mutual agency between all the partners exists.
For all the other partners, each partner carrying on the business is the principal as well as the agent. He can bind other partners by his acts. And also is bound by the acts of other partners with regard to the business of the firm.

Sharing of Profit
The agreement between partners must be to share profits and losses of a business. Sharing of profits and losses is important. The partnership is not for the purpose of some charitable activity.

Liability of Partnership
Each partner is liable jointly with all the other partners. And also when is a partner, severally liable to the third party for all the acts done by the firm. Liability of the partner is not limited. This implies that for paying off the firm’s debts, his private assets can also be used.

The Partnership Act does not require that the agreement must be in writing. But when the agreement is in written form, it is called ‘Partnership Deed’.

Contamination

Contamination is the cycle where unwanted poisonous impurities debase our current circumstance like air, water, soil, and so on It is making unexpected changes in the environment, which is straightforwardly on by implication leaving unfriendly consequences for the existences of people, creatures, and plants. It makes an irregularity in the normal framework. Numerous things which are making our lives simple are hurtful to the climate. For instance, vehicles leave gases that dirty the air. Ventures and family trash dirty both water and air.

Each living being on Earth relies upon air and water. At the point when these two things get contaminated, every one of the lives on Earth come at a danger. It is seen that metropolitan regions get more contaminated than in rustic regions. However rustic regions additionally get dirtied by destructive pesticides utilized in cultivating lands. Due to contamination, numerous new infections show up day by day, which are very perilous for the wellbeing of living creatures. It has now become a significant issue all around the world. An unnatural weather change is currently the reason for migraines for all individuals around the world. It is the contamination that is by implication influencing the adjustment of the climate. This worldwide issue needs quick activity. Else, it will be trying to lead a solid way of life.

Sorts of Contamination

There are different sorts of contamination around us. Here, we will talk about additional on the kinds of contamination.

Air Contamination: It is some of the time noticeable like we can see dirtied air left by the vehicles out and about due to its distinctive shading. By and large, it isn’t noticeable. Dirtied air predominantly influences the eyes and lungs of individuals just as creatures. It can even kill a living animal inside a couple of moments. We think about numerous episodes where unsafe gas spillage has killed individuals. Indeed, even cataclysmic events can make the air harmful. Like volcanic emissions produce hurtful gases that influence human wellbeing and other normal assets too. Vehicles and industrial facilities produce unsafe gases that, in response to daylight, makes thick mist. Air contamination additionally adds to Corrosive Downpour. It can annihilate water life, woodlands, and so on

Water Contamination: Same like water, one sort of water contamination is apparent like sloppy water, water with trash, and so forth Simultaneously, some noticeably spotless water can contain synthetic substances that are risky to our wellbeing. Drinking contaminated water can cause genuine medical problems. A many individuals kick the bucket worldwide by burning-through debased water. It can likewise in a roundabout way influence people and creatures. Like on the off chance that we eat a fish from a contaminated stream or ocean, we additionally ingest the expected poisons. Flammable gas and oil can likewise add to the contamination of water. Fluid squanders from industrial facilities likewise dirty the water. Strong squanders upset the seepage framework. Sewages, farming waste, corrosive downpour are fundamental reasons for water contamination.

Soil Contamination: Strong squanders from production lines and families dirty the land. Destructive synthetic substances blend in the dirt through the pesticides utilized in agribusiness. Toxins from landfills blend in the ground and contaminate it. At the point when we eat plants that have filled in the dirtied land, we by implication devour pollutants hurtful to our wellbeing.

Noise Contamination: When the sound becomes narrow minded and reason of unsettling influence, it is commotion contamination. The hints of vehicles, mike, noisy music, or hardware cause commotion contamination. It causes genuine medical problems like headache, discouragement, hypertension, forceful conduct, and so forth to people. It additionally straightforwardly influences the wellbeing of creatures. It at times turns into the justification their demise.

End

Many individuals and creatures are losing their lives or encountering extreme medical problems because of the expanded degree of contamination. This basic issue needs prompt consideration. The greater part of the reasons for contamination are human exercises. Thus, we should control such exercises that add to contamination. It can basically limit the seriousness of its belongings.

CONSTRUCTION OF OUR WORLD , DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH

   Imagine a world in which people would not see trees and a blue sky when they go outside. Imagine stepping out of a house and not being able to walk a few feet without getting winded because of the amount of pollution in the air. This might become a reality if our society as a whole does not start to think about the repercussions of our actions. The irrevocable decisions that we make today will ultimately be the arbiter of what the world will be like in the future. The environment is a very fragile thing and if we do not take care of it, future generations will not be able to enjoy it.

             There are many ways in which we can begin to better our environment. One of which is to recycle. One does not have to be an erudite person to know the numerous advantages of recycling. By recycling daily material in our lives, we will perpetuate a lifetime of useful material without using Earth’s transient resources. If our waste is not recycled, then it is sent to landfills, where the harmful substances are left to permeate into the soil. The simple task of recycling is a very powerful way for renewing our supply of natural resources and helping the environment.
             Another way in which we can improve the environment is to conserve energy. The energy that is used to power our lights and televisions is provided by large power plants that can sometimes inadvertently harm our environment. If we retrench the amount of energy that we use at home, than we are able to reduce the chance of harming our fragile ecosystem. With the flick of the switch when the light is not needed, there will be a salutary effect on the environment, even if it is just a nominal amount.

 Our gossamer world is not something that society should take for granted. If we choose to take care of our environment now, the world might become a much better place.

Mankind’s effect on the environment has been one of the most controversial social issues in recent years. The environment has constantly been in the forefront in most political debates. There are two sides to every story. Chris Bright says that yes, mankind is dangerously harming the environment. On the other side, Bjorn Lomborg, says the environment is in fact improving, not declining. I’m going to be discussing both sides of this issue and then giving my own opinion.
 



          

  Much of the information on development in the 1960s was based on the belief that all of mankind would prosper. It really ignored the strong effects of development on the environment and assumed that the readiness of raw materials would not be a factor. The thinking was that all people working together would get richer because they would be investing in new technologies that would bring more wealth to all.
             By the end of the 1960s, a marine scientist Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, had an enormous impact on the public. Her book noticed the loss of birds to pesticides. Her book also made all classes of the population to realise that the pollution affects everyone, not just the rich.
  

 Another professor, Paul Ehrlich, was worried about overpopulation being the demise of mankind. He thought that the population was about five times too large, and we were using our resources to not only overpopulate but to also over use our environment. We were poisoning the ecological systems which we were dependent on for all of our food and oxygen. Chris Bright said the world population would double to 8 billion sometime between 2010 and 2020. That means at the same time that the population is growing, people are striving to get richer, which in turn means that they would consume more, pollute more and use up all of our resources. He also thought that humans would disturb the ecological system.

Termination Of Agency

Introduction

In a contract of agency, a person appoints another to act on his behalf with the third party it is called ‘Agency’. According to Section 183 of the said Act, Principal must be competent to contract. Any person may be an agent (Section 184). According to Section 185, in the contract of agency, consideration is not necessary. Termination of agency means putting an end to the legal relationship between principal and agent. Section 201 to 210 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 lay down the provision relating to the termination of Agency.

As above said termination of agency means putting end to the legal relationship between principal and agent. Section 201 to 210 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 lay down the provision relating to the termination of Agency.

Section 201, Indian Contract Act 1872 provides for termination of an agency –

An agency is terminated by the principal revoking his authority, or by the agent renouncing the business of the agency; or by the business of the agency being completed; or by either the principal or agent dying or becoming of unsound mind; or by the principal being adjudicated an insolvent under the provisions of any Act for the time being in force for the relief of insolvent debtors.

Agency may be terminated two ways –
1) By the Act of the Parties
2) By Operation of Law

1) By the act of the parties
i) By agreement – The Contract of Agency can be terminated at any time by mutual agreement between the principal and agent.
ii) By revocation of the principal – The Principal revoke agency at any time by giving notice to the agent.
iii) By Renunciation of an agent – Renunciation which means withdrawing from responsibility as Agent. Like Principal, Agent can also renounce the agency. According to Section 206 of the Indian Contract Act 1872, the agent must give to his Principal reasonable notice of renunciation. Otherwise, he will be liable to make good for the damage caused to the principal for want of such notice.

2) By operation of law
Agency can be terminated by operation of law-
i) By the completion of agency – Agency can become to an end after the completion of work for which the agency is created.
ii) By expiry of the time – Agency can also be terminated by the expiry of time. if the agency is created for the specific period, it is terminated after the expiry of the time.
iii) Death or insanity of principal or agent – Section 209 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 imposes an agent, duty to terminate the contract of agency on the death of the principal. In other words, Agency comes to an end on the death or insanity of the principal or agent.
iv) Insolvency of principal – According to Section 201 of the Indian Contract Act 1872, an insolvent or bankrupt is a person who is unable to run the business due to Excess of liabilities over assets. In this way, if the principal becomes an insolvent agency can be terminated.
v) Destruction of the subject matter – If this subject matter of the agency is destroyed agency comes to an end.
For example – Any agency is created for sale of an Airplane if the Airplane caught fire before the sale the agency comes to an end. In this contract Airplane is the subject matter.
vi) Principal becoming an alien enemy – If the Principal becomes an alien enemy the contract of agency comes to an end. vii) Dissolution of company or firm – A Firm or company may be regarded as a Principal in the contract of Agency. If the company or firm is dissolved the agency comes to an end.

Relationship between Principal agent and sub agent

Relationship between principal agent and sub-agent depends on the question whether the agent has an authority to appoint sub-agent and whether the sub-agent is properly appointed.
If then sub-agent is properly appointed:
1) The principal is bound by and responsible for the acts of a sub agent;
2) the agent is responsible to the principal for the acts of the sub-agent;
3) the sub agent is responsible for his acts to the agent, but not to the principal except in case of fraud or willful wrong.

It is of interest to observe clause (3) above. Sub-agent is responsible and accountable to the agent and not to the principal by clause (1). Principal is liable for acts of the sub-agent if he is properly appointed. Sub-agent is not responsible to the principal because there is no privity of contract between the principal and sub agent. It is case of fraud or willful wrong that the principal can proceed against the sub-agent. Principal can, however, against the agent for acts of a sub-agent. As far as the rights of a third party are concerned, he can enforce the wrongs of a sub-agent on the principal if the sub-agent is properly appointed. Principal is therefore liable for acts of the sub-agents if he is properly appointed.

If the sub-agent is not properly appointed: Where an agent has appointed a person to act as sub agent without having authority to do so, the principal shall not be deemed to be represented or responsible for the acts of the sub-agent so employed, nor is such a sub-agent responsible to the principal. The agent is responsible for the acts of such a sub- agent both to the principal and to third persons.

Sub-agent is said to be improperly appointed where agent delegates his powers without authority from the principal or where none of the circumstances stated above exist which necessitate appointment of a sub agent.

It will be observed that where a sub-agent is not properly appointed, the liability of agent is also towards third parties. As a rule, we have seen that an agent is responsible to the principal and it is the principal who is responsible for the acts of his agent to the third party. However, the section throws additional liability on the agent where he has improperly appointed a sub-agent. Agent stands liable to the third party for the acts of a sub-agent.

Termination of sub-agent’s authority: (Sec 210) Lastly it must be noted that the termination of the authority of an agent causes the termination of the authority of all sub-agents appointed by him

Liabilities of principal, agent and sub-agent: The agent is responsible to the principal for the acts of a sub-agent and the sub-agent is responsible for his acts to the agent but not the principal, except in cases of fraud and willful wrong.

Where an agent improperly appoints a sub-agent, the agent is responsible for his acts both to the principal and to third parties. The principal in such cases is not responsible for the acts of the sub-agent nor is the sub-agent responsible to the principal. But where a sub-agent is properly appointed, the principal as regards third person, is represented by the sub-agent, and is bound by and responsible for his acts, as if he were an agent originally appointed by the principal.

Where an agent under an express or implied authority has named another person to act for the principal, such a person is not a sub-agent, but an agent of the principal. There is no liability on the agent appointing him provided the agent so appointing exercises discretion as a man of ordinary prudence would exercise is his own case (Sec 194 & 195). Such an agent is called a substitute agent.


East India Company

East India Company also known as Honorable East India Company or East Trading Company was an English stock company founded in 1600. This company was formed to trade in Indian region and then later in other Asian parts. East India Company had dominated trade in large Indian subcontinent, parts of Hong Kong and southeast Asia.

This company was responsible for half of world’s trades in 1700s and 1800’s. They traded primarily in goods that included silk, cotton, spices, tea, sugar and many others. Later, it went onto rule India which led to the beginning of British Empire.

Company initially started to trade in eastern part of India and gradually began to conquer various parts of India with advanced military defense. In 1757, was the start of British rule.

Origin Of East India Company

Francis Drake in 1577 went on an expedition to Spanish in search of gold and silver. He sailed through Pacific Ocean which was discovered only by Spanish and Portuguese. Sailing across East Indies, he came across the spice island known as Moluccas. When he met Sultan Babullah of that island, in exchange of gold and silver, he got cloves and nutmeg.

IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATION IN ORGANIZATION

1) Improves Performance:

The ability to do the job and the willingness to do both work affect a person’s efficiency. The ability to do the job is achieved through the help of education and training and the determination to do the job is achieved through the help of motivation.

Determination is more important than ability. For example, a person is highly educated and employed for this reason. But it does not matter if you are doing an outstanding job.

He should be encouraged to do good work. This is only possible through

Motivation. Therefore, motivation improves efficiency. Efficiency of a

One is characterized by increased productivity and lower cost.

2) Helps to Change the Negative or Tired Opinion of Employees:

Some employees of the organization have a negative attitude. They always think that doing a lot of work will not bring honor. The counselor uses a variety of techniques to change this attitude.

3) Reduced Employee Benefit:

The dignity of an organization is affected by the benefit of employees. This creates a lot of problems for managers. A lot of time and money is wasted on recruiting staff and providing them with education and training.

The only motivation can save the organization from such damage. Motivated people work longer hours in the organization and there is a decline in profitability.

4) It leads to employee stability

Staff stability is very important from the point of view of dignity and interest in concern. Employees can remain honest in business only when they feel they have participated in management. The skills and efficiency of the staff will always be beneficial to both the staff and the employees. This will lead to a positive public image in the market which will attract talented and trained people. As the saying goes, “Creating enough gold” and the role of promotion here, people are older, more knowledge and their preparation has become a concern that can be useful in business.

From the above discussion, we can say that motivation is an inner feeling that only Mentor can understand since he is in close contact with the staff. Needs, wants and desires are related and are the driving force. These needs can be understood by the Counselor and he or she can arrange incentive programs accordingly. We can say that motivation is therefore an ongoing process because the motivation process is based on unlimited needs. The process should continue everywhere.

We can summarize that motivation is important for individuals and businesses. Motivation is important for each person as:

Motivation will help him achieve his goals.
If a person is motivated, he will have a job satisfaction.
Motivation will help in personal development.
One will always benefit by working with a strong team.
Similarly, inspiration is as important to a business as:

The more employees are motivated, the more powerful the team becomes.
What is more is team work and the provision of individual employees, a highly profitable and successful business.
During the amendment, there will be more flexibility and art.
Motivation will lead to a positive and challenging attitude at work.

5) Helps to Reduce Unemployment within the Organization:

In some organizations, the unemployment rate is high. There are many causes for this negative work environment, poor relationships with colleagues and management, anonymity in the organization, insufficient remuneration, etc. Mentor removes all such shortcomings and encourages employees. Motivational employees are not always absent from work as the workplace becomes a source of joy for them.

Investment is done through  stockbrokerages and electronic trading platforms which is a computer software program that can be used to place orders for financial products over a network with a financial intermediary.

Many large companies have their stocks listed on a stock exchange. This makes the stock more liquid and thus more attractive to many investors. Large companies, mainly the multi national companies have there stocks listed in various stock exchange markets. Trade in stock markets means the transfer (in exchange for money) of a stock or security from a seller to a buyer. This requires these two parties to agree on a price. Equities (stocks or shares) confer an ownership interest in a particular company. Equity is ownership of assets that may have debts or other liabilities attached to them. Equity is measured for accounting purposes by subtracting liabilities from the value of the assets.

A potential buyer bids a specific price for a stock, and a potential seller asks a specific price for the same stock. Buying or selling at the Market means you will accept any ask price or bid price for the stock. When the bid and ask prices match, a sale takes place, on a first-come, first-served basis if there are multiple bidders at a given price. The stock exchange provides a safe marketplace facilitating the exchange of securities between buyers and sellers.
