Circular economy and sustainability

Iceclog: Profitable shift to Circular Economy for Manufacturers ...

The industrial revolution and the rise of a capitalistic society have, in a short period of time, changed our planet and our lives. Overconsumption stands at the foundation of modern society and has brought along climate change and its string of environmental hazards and social issues. Overpopulation and growing demand for goods result in mind-boggling volumes of waste as well as air, soil and water pollution with high negative impacts on human and ecosystem health.

A circular economy works quite differently. Products and services in a circular economy are designed in a way that allows them to be reused, either in the biological or technical cycles. All products are manufactured in a way so they can be disassembled and materials will either be broken down by nature or returned to production. Biological material therefore consists of non-toxic, clean feeds and technical materials are designed to be a resource to be used industrially again. The goal is to throw nothing away and to reduce the need for purchasing new commodities, while production and transportation is best achieved with renewable energy.

The circular economy is a markedly different way to do business, forcing companies to rethink everything from how to design and manufacture products to their relationships with customers. One of the biggest differences is the customer’s role. The focus is no longer on consumption, but instead on the use of a function. This places different demands on the business community to build long-term relationships in their business models. The advantage is that companies benefit from each other’s success in this cascade of different cycles.

It also brings new opportunities in infrastructure, energy and production in their adaption to fit the circular economy model. Some business models are easier than others to begin with, such as the leasing of products instead of buying (everything from jeans to trucks), companies which collect and renovate their own products and then sell them in the store in a separate department or peer-to-peer models. Companies will find new ways to extend the life of products or components, to find value in the waste, or the design of circular use.

In the end it is all about encouraging the next generations to think and design in a sustainable way as well as using circular business systems to build a better future.

Old And Alone!

undefined

It is high time now that we admit the issue of ‘Elder Abuse’ existing in our society. Every other day, we see news of parents being humiliated or mistreated by their children. Isn’t it a dark reality of our life’s. Inspite of the fact that like are parents one day we will also grow old still we continue to ill – treat them. We have become so insensitive that we have forgotten the reason why we are in this world? We have forgotten that we are alive because of them. They are the hands who made us walk in our life’s. Over the years they have made infinite sacrifices to give us good education and a good lifestyle. But what we are doing?? We are treating them as a burden of our life’s.

In various cases it is being found that parents are being intimidated or threatened.. They are even beaten up by their own so called children. Over the years the parents who fulfilled each and every need of their children now have to beg in front of their children to make their basic needs fulfilled. It’s such a shame that some even face sexual harassment.

According to 2014 estimates India has more than 100 million elderly people. (60 years and above). It has been found that more than 71% of senior citizens face harassment. Among them 10 million are forced to live out of their homes. It has been reported by many NGOs that 53.2% elderly abuse is due to property and inheritance disputes rest 35.7% is due to attitudinal and relationship issues. Children usually abuse their parents because they don’t want to spend an extra money on their chronic health issues, and other necessary needs. They have become so selfish that in order to save money they force their parents to do household work, take care of their children and expect them to just eat 2 time meal and sit all alone in any one corner of the house. They even have become greedy as they forcefully take over their property and hard earned savings and abandon them out of their houses. They throw their parents out of their own houses. Now the only safe place left with these elderly people is old age homes. It is found that an increasing number of elderly people are moving into old age homes in search of safety, independence and companionship.

Have you ever realised what are parents want? They only want to feel the love that they once shared with their children. They only want to relax and want their children to reciprocate their care. Every parent wants to see their child grow and be successful but no parent wants their child to treat them like an unnecessary load on their responsibilities. So this is the time to think and realize what we are doing because what we are doing today with them will happen to us tomorrow. So stop blaming or neglecting your parents. Start spending quality time with them. Listen to them and take care of them. This is the truth even when they are counting their last breath, they are still thinking about us. So don’t wait for their last breath. Express your love today before it becomes too late.

What is More dangerous than the death-(Mental_health).

Facebook-Owned-Whatsapp launches digital payments in Brazil

Messaging app to launch digital payment in Brazil

Facebook-owned-WhatsApp has launched its digital payment service WhatsApp-pay in Brazil.

Facebook has acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014. The messaging app had 2 billion users as of February.

It has 400 million users in India. It has been testing its payments service in India-based on UPI – with about a million users. The company had started its Beta testing in India, In 2018.

This WhatsApp-pay allows users to send and receive money online. It will be available on both iPhone and android in the countries Brazil, India, Indonesia, Germany, The U.K., The U.S., and Mexico.

The service is free for consumers, but businesses will be charged a fee similar to what they would pay when accepting a credit card transaction.

Users need to link a credit or debit card to their WhatsApp account, and transactions are secured with either fingerprint or a six-digit PIN.

In a Facebook post on Monday, its CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Brazil is the first country where it is widely rolling out payments in WhatsApp.

Last year Facebook said “Payments on WhatsApp are beginning to roll out to people across Brazil beginning today and we look forward to bringing it to everyone as we go forward,” the company said in the post.

WhatsApp says its digital payments are an open model that will allow it to add more partners in the future.

In a Facebook post on Monday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Brazil is the first country where it is widely rolling out payments in WhatsApp.

“Today we are starting to launch payment for people using WhatsApp in Brazil. We are making sending and receiving money as easy as sharing photos, adding that small businesses will also be able to make sales right within WhatsApp.”

“To do this we are building on Facebook Pay, which provides a secure and consistent way to make payments across our apps,” He said.

Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said – ” To start, we will support debit and credit cards from Banco do Brasil, Nubank, and Sicredi on the visa and Mastercard networks and we are working with Cielo, the leading payment processor in Brazil. We have built an open model to model to welcome more partners in the future,” He added.

The company announced that it is making it easy for users to send money to their physically distant loved ones.

“We’re making sending money to loved ones as easy as sending a message, which could not be more important as people are physically distant from one another,” the company said in a blog post.

“Because payments on WhatsApp are enabled by Facebook Pay, in the future we want to make it possible for people and businesses to use the same card information across Facebook’s family of apps.”

since Company has its rivals in the country include Softbank-backed Paytm, Flipkart’s PhonePe, and Google Pay, it has delayed a full-fledged launch in India.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD CONTENT

Starting from a company’s inception, a strong content ensures a very strong growth. From being easily found on the web to developing as a brand, it is the content that holds your hand. But why is it the content and not anything else?

A company as a whole does not have a human face. Since the shift of media to digital platforms you have to communicate with your audience virtually, and well -structured write-up is the only icebreaker.

That being said, a write up needs to engage the reader and leave a scrumptious taste on their mind. A bland write-up shall not surprise you with little or no response.

There are many reasons why a strong content is very important throughout a brand’s journey. Here are some—

  • Makes an impression and builds trust

A good content equates to a good personality. You need to be cautious about what you delivered to your readers.

The kind of write-up you present to your audience leaves a similar mark of impression on their mind. 

A well organised and errorless 

presentation of words is a boldface impression of your company on which the audience decides to trust you or not. 

  • Ensures your position

You can create content that is not professionally skilled, but it shall limit your stint in the market sooner or later.

Quality content can never take a backseat or the company’s drive is not likely to be very smooth. 

  • Fulfills a company’s commitments

A brand has a vision and seeks to deliver it through words on its website and thus it is the responsibility of the content to fulfill the company’s commitment to the audience.     

  • A major driving force in marketing and growth

A well-written article or blog includes keywords that put you up on the rung of SERPs.

Once you are good with the SEO and SERPs,  you do not need to pay for being found on the web through advertisements. The audience comes naturally through their web searches.      

When you are serving something, you need to ensure that it is good. The same goes for content. The internet algorithm makes it one of the prime factors that decide your growth in the market. So yeah, it’s the content that makes you or breaks you.

HOW TO CRACK JEE

After UPSC , JEE is the most toughest exams in the country. it requires ones dedication and hard work with some pinch of smart work too. many students had a lot of questions about JEE . in this block i will answer all your questions. and also about how you can crack jee.

Is Coaching is mandatory for JEE ?

many students had a doubt in their minds about a coaching for JEE. the answer is that , it depends on you. if you think that you need a extra help or guidance in your jee preparations then join a coaching. but it is not necessary that after joining coaching you will probably succeed. i remember one of my friend who joins a popular coaching of Kota for his jee preparations but still land on a all india rank of 100,000 and plus…so coaching has not any jadibutti that after drinking you will surely succeed. it is a totally wrong concept. Cracking jee simply needs a dedication that means a regular study for atleast two hours. cracking jee solely depends on you and not on coaching.

Plan a Schedule

we know that it is hard to stick on a particular thing but preparing a fix schedule for study is the basic need for cracking a competitive exam. what you have to do is , choose any two hours from your schedule and do study regularly in those two yours. and do whatever you want to do in whole day. but just study in those two hours in a regular basis. it will surely improve your patience level.

Practice last 15 years questions paper

one of the key to succeed in any competitive exam is to practice last year papers. same applies for IIT JEE. if you regularly practice last year question paper , then you will get to know about the difficulty level of exam. practicing last 15 years question paper will be enough to crack the entrance exam. because there is enough variety in papers. mostly concepts have been repeated in the exam. always remember question can be changed but concept can’t.

Solve Conceptual problems and numericals.

In JEE, mostly questions are in the form of numericals. jee main has a simple variety of numericals but jee advanced has conceptual numericals which works on only on concept. and they are bit complex too. try to complete HC Verma for physics(both parts). it has plenty of numericals that works on concept making. Remember only concept will help you. so build your concept first. and for maths N.C.E.R.T is enough for basics and for chemistry N.C.E.R.T is like a god. once you done with all subject N.C.E.R.T textbook, then go for any higher level book.

Attempt various sample papers

suppose if you try well but didn’t succeed because you don’t know how to use computer. then that will be the worst thing for sure. so practice ample of sample questions paper on your computer. because not only JEE but all exams are usually in online mode. so make your speed on online computer and whenever you give a sample online test. make your environment like a proper jee exam hall environment. sit for proper three hours. this will surely help you in your exam.

Lastly Revise, Revise and Revise

The most and important step is to do a proper revision of what you have learned so far. forget all the things that you not study for any kind of reason just make your revision on the things that are important and also those things that you have noticed many times in previous question paper. this things would be enough for revision.

Conclusion

Anyone can crack this exam and get into the prestigious IITs . just you have to be extra cautious about your two hours study plan. don’t forget that a donkey also do hardwork . and we are humans so we have to do extra as compared to donkey. that extra is smart work.

Do your study with smart work. no need to read whole things. read the important topics many times so you will get a detailed knowledge about them that is called smart work.

always remember for the success there is a big role of confidence. your confidence alone works 50-60%. and hard work about 30%. and the rest is dedication and smart work. so be confident about your success and study religiously. If you work daily with keeping all this point in your head, then one day you will surely get the success on this timid path of JEE.

Contempt Of Court

If a person opposes the dignity of court and defies the authority or justice than that behavior is called as contempt of court. Basically being disobedient or disrespectful to the court of law is simply the “contempt”. It is an act of 1971. The person either gets six months jail or fine up to Rs. 2000, or both. In Indian constitution under the article 129 and 215 it is stated that if any person defies the authority or the court then under this article court will imposed contempt of court on them.

The Contempt of Court Act, 1971, comes under Section2(a) as “civil contempt or criminal contempt”. Although they both differs from each other. However, civil contempt is a willful disobedience to a court judgement, writ, order, or etc. whereas criminal contempt means that an illegal act against the society where the person either by their words or actions undermines the authority or disobey the court. These are further regarded under Section2(b) and Section2(c) in the constitution. This act applies to every state of India except Jammu and Kashmir. This gives the court with certain powers to punish an individual for disobeying the judgement of the court. This acts also talk about the civil and criminal contempt with total of 24 sections comprised together. It generally states the concept, definition, defences available, the powers for punishment, procedure, or etc. under contempt of court. With this there is also Section 13 which include the defence of truth which can restrict the powers of the court to hold anyone in contempt only if they don’t interfere between the due process of justice, or amendment. This will balance the powers not only in the right direction but also the fundamental rights so that their can be a proper check in the judicial proceedings of the contempt.

Many people also criticize the Act as according to them there are many uncertainties in the legislation where it talks that how all words, acts, signs and visible representation that interfere in the process of justice can be a punishable offence. The purpose is rightly cleared by the House of Lords in Attorney General v. Times Newspapers Ltd. are ‘to enable the parties to litigation and the witnesses to come before the court without outside interference; to enable the courts to try cases without such interference; and to ensure that authority and administration of law are maintained.’

Freedom of speech and expression is the fundamental right of the citizens. If this is important then the faith on jurisdictional process is also important. Also if there are any uncertainties in the legislation then under Section 13 it could keep a check on discretionary powers of the court. This section also allow the defence of truth in the court proceedings and judges at that time can not charge anyone under this Section.

Illiteracy – A Big Problem In India

What is illiteracy? It means a lack of knowledge or ignorance in any specific topic. For example, a person goes to school but he\she doesn’t know how to start a computer. In this type of person, there is no literacy in computer and he is considered as illiterate in computer education.
Today in workplace, due to digitalization most of the activities needs a computer literacy. Not only in computer, if a person is not able to read and write any lesson then he/she will be illiterate.

A mistake in reading and writing is the speciality of an uneducated person and this can also called the illiteracy.
Unless a person is educated or illiterate, they cannot read newspapers, notice, advertisement, poster etc. Female population is a big part of illiterate population.
In India, female literacy rate is about 65% and male literacy rate is about 82%, so to remove illiteracy, it is important to educate females.
Illiteracy is mainly seen in SC/ST and OBC castes, which is not only poverty, but also unaware, uncertain and reluctant in their improvement. Illiteracy not only makes people deprived of economic development but also in the darkness of poverty makes them deprived of education, reading, writing and many other things.

It’s a a good thing that Indian government is showing awareness in this field and establishing thousands of primary schools as possible. Through which every citizen can be educated. For this Indian government has announced free primary education in government schools.
In India there are many reasons of illiteracy. The first reason is uneducated parents. parents of some children are uneducated who cannot read and write. Today it is truth that in some areas where people of older generation live have not get formal education.
There are many more reasons of illiteracy like no support from parents any many other. Modern generation is made up of science. Today every people are busy in their own work due to which they cannot give information to each other. Due to this reason today everything is written on a board.

In this scientific generation, nothing can be done without education.
To stop illiteracy Indian government has made possible solutions like free education, awareness, grants, night classes, free education materials and books and my other things.
In India, it is much need of reduction of illiteracy rate, so that unemployment and poverty can be reduced. Everyone should take benefits from governmental organizations for education. They should be aware of it. Not only government but also every educated person should try to remove illiteracy. Every practice done by the educated person can help in reduction of this. So everyone should practice for it because it can make our India a developed country and help in removing poverty and unemployment.
