Best way to promote your business

There is no better way to improve your business that through direct contact. This was the concept that my uncle always had. He started his small scale business of helping students study abroad and arranges for financial loans for the student from different banks. He started this business without any investment. He first opened his office at his home itself and marketed his business through word of mouth and he also made cheap business cards and pamphlets to promote his business. His business started to grow in a small and study manner and then he also made some webhosting for his business in the name of dollarspounds consultant. I managed to design his webpage and get a domain for his business and after four years of his hard work, his business has improved really well and he now has his own office in the centre of the city with four members working under him and now has tie ups with lots of universities and banks to help the students pursue what they want. He has also opened up branches in different cities. Even after growing so much in business he still feels the word of mouth is always the best way to promote the business.

Banish The Gloom With The Right Lights

Every home needs adequate lighting and there are different types of lights for different applications. For instance ambient light would be best to light up an entire room while study rooms and kitchens may need specific lights depending on the task at hand.

Deciding appropriate light fixtures for each of your rooms can be a challenging task. For instance, you can use lighting accessories or attractive chandeliers to decorate the living rooms. Striking accent lights work well to highlight an artwork, while kitchen light fixtures should be unobtrusive and provide coverage to every countertop, the stoves and the shelves. There are a wide range of lighting styles to choose from featuring top manufacturers, and there is bound to be the right light to suit your purpose and budget. So shop for great fixtures and light up your living space!

Akanksha - Desire

It was during our final year in college where there was a department level cultural festival – Akanksha which means desire. This name was suggested by me and my friend. It was one of the biggest inter college festivals for us as it was our last year in college. We gave all our department guys with custom designed Tshirts to be worn on that day. We also made huge vinyl banners of our cultural event name, promoting our cultural festival to all the colleges. We had also given a formal invitation to other colleges to participate in the festival. We planned and had some very interesting events on that day. We also invited a special celebrity guests to make our cultural event more interesting. The day arrived and we expected a decent crowd for the event. But it turned out to be even bigger in number and to our surprise; the event was aired in our local television channels. Our cultural festival turned out to be one of the memorable festivals that our college witnessed and we have made this festival as a benchmark for our juniors. With this festival, our small college turned out to be one of the popular colleges in our city.

GM for you?

Genetic engineering constitutes the second industrial revolution. The first one involved physics and went hand in hand with colonialism. The present one involves biology and is being accompanied by globalisation. Biotech is in fact the most revolutionary of all revolutions.

So far, right from the making of stone tools to landing on the moon to the development of the internet, humankind has been arranging and rearranging building blocks provided by nature. Now it has become possible to modify these building blocks themselves.

Other dimensions :

This development is unprecedented in human history and raises questions of ethics and consequences. So far, questions of ethics have pitted man against man. Now it is humankind against nature. Any meaningful discussion on genetic engineering cannot be confined to its science; it must incorporate the other dimensions also.

Plants owe their characteristics to their genes, which they inherit from their parents. Since ages, it has been possible to cross-breed closely related varieties. Such exercises have been carried out in the fields and have involved evolutionary timescales that are reassuringly large. It has now become possible to quickly change the genetic composition of a plant, working in the lab itself. Genes can be added or silenced. They can come from totally unrelated sources: other plants, microbes or even animals.

Is GM safe?

The Nobel Prize winning geneticist Brenner notes wryly that most scientists are unwilling to say that GM is completely harmless lest they be proved wrong in their own lifetime. GM crop technology may in fact be un-testable, on methodological grounds. Scientific analysis pre-requires that the system under investigation be isolated.

But it is manifestly not possible to isolate GM from the non-GM. The pollinators such as the birds, bees, butterflies and wind move from one agricultural field to another unmindful of whether a conventional crop is being grown or a modified one.

Europe sees no benefit in plant biotech and is not ready to take risks.

It is curious that battles over a new technology are being fought by the U.S. and Europe in the corridors of the WTO instead of in labs and seminar rooms.
