Bangalore Loses ‘Safe’ Status After Brutality Against The Tanzanian Girl

While reports of atrocities against women were pouring out of other metropolitan cities of India, Bangalore was still the one nearly safe enough.

After what happened to the Tanzanian girl, it is time, even Bangalore had hung its head down in shame.

The barbaric incident has laid bare the low morale of the public towards foreigners. Whatever became of “Atithi Devo bhava”?

Height of Misunderstanding

A case of sheer misunderstanding it was, when the girl was allegedly violated by an angry yet clueless mob, in response to a hit-and-run case.

• The mob mistook the Tanzanian girl’s car to be that of the culprit.
• The perpetrators allegedly dragged her out of the car, stripped her, and beat her up. They did not even spare her friends who were inside the car.
• As if this was not enough, the passengers of the bus passing by pushed her out of it when she tried to escape by getting on it.
• All this transpired for one small mistake – she had parked her car near the accident spot.

She and her three friends paid a hefty price for a crime they did not commit.

Repercussions Against The Crime

This incident has the High Commission of Tanzania involved.

A Note Verbal sent to the External Affairs Ministry clearly indicates measures required against those guilty of the crime. Fortunately, the Ministry has intervened in the matter, booking four accused. They are likely to face criminal charges.

Calling the event ‘shameful’, Sushma Swaraj, the External Affairs Minister, has stressed on ensuring safety of the Tanzanian students overall.

Bengaluru Cut A Sorry Figure

A majority of men shows an incomprehensible aggression on women to date. Surprisingly, this never happened in Bengaluru – a city so advanced in erudition and open-mindedness. Will there be no city left where women can feel safe?

Budget Brings Bad News for Smokers

The announcement of the hike on excise duty on cigarettes spread like wildfire and saw some action with tobacco vendors witnessing a busy afternoon on a hot day in July.

The 11-72 per cent hike on cigarettes is sure to burn a hole in the pockets of smokers.

Precursors of the Hike

In the past, there have been a lot of awareness missions on the ills of smoking organised by the government and social groups.

Moreover, this hike in excise duty was expected since the tweet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi about cutting tobacco consumption in India.

Pros of the Hike

This decision was appreciated by some anti-tobacco lobbies which believe that,

• The rise in price will induce smokers to quit smoking.

• Youngsters who are drawn towards smoking due to peer pressure will be discouraged to do so.

• The hike in price will burn a hole in the pockets of smokers and many will quit smoking.

• There will be a decrease in cases of lung cancer and other diseases caused by smoking.

The Other Side of the Coin

But one wonders if this decision even takes into consideration the psyche of smokers.

Observing the hikes earlier, the tobacco companies presaged that hikes only persuade smokers to vouch for cheaper options, which if considered, are more noxious.

Hiking of excise duty in the past has also led to illegal trade smuggling. This illegal trade smuggling according to The Tobacco Institute of India today reports to 19% in comparison to 17% two years back.

Also, it brought an excise loss of Rs. 6000 crores to the government.

Furthermore, cigarette smokers constitute just 3% of the total smokers as most people smoke Beedies or route to cheaper options.

Keeping this in perspective, the tobacco companies previously raised their focus on sub-65mm cheaper cigarettes.

But these companies hoped that the government was unlikely to come down like a ton of bricks on poor workers who constitute the market for these cigarettes.

What Can Be Done?

The policymakers have to have a systematic view of things and must take into account all the factors that can subvert and undermine the policies.

The need is to take non-conformal actions to curb the consumption instead of coming out with such decisions without giving them a thought.

Eye drop Product Review

When looking for help for your aging eyes and cataracts, you want something that is easy to use and non-invasive. NAC Eye Drops and Can-C drops are two products available on the market. Neither are related to each other but offer very similar benefits.

NAC Eye Drops Help 90% of Patients with Cataracts

The NAC drops are manufactured in the US and meet standard requirements. They have been through numerous trials and proved to help clear the vision in 90% of users suffering from cataracts. That visual clarity means that there is no need for invasive surgery to remove the cataract thereby avoiding the risk of further damage.

The eye drops have no pain associated with them and are easy for anyone to use. The bottle is gently squeezed so a drop of the fluid goes straight onto the eye – just like you would with any type of eye drop!

How the NAC Eye Drops Work

The NAC drops use L-carnosine, which works with the fluid that is around the lens of the eye. L-carnosine is a powerful ingredient and an antioxidant, which helps to prevent the fluid lens from becoming hard, which is when the cataracts form. The ingredients can help to prevent cataracts ever becoming a problem by constantly keeping the lens fluid and can help to repair the damage by working on turning the solid mass back into a liquid.

Can-C Eye Drops for Age Related Problems

There are a number of problems that affect the eyesight as people age. This includes corneal disorders, retinal disease, dry eye and cataracts. Can-C in stock eye drops are made in India and sold through the UK and help fight against many of the age related issues and help the vision to improve without surgery. They offer a non-invasive approach to something that was only seen as treatable through surgery in the past.

Daily Treatment

Whether using Can-C in stock drops or NAV eye drops, it is important to follow a daily schedule. This will help to ensure you gain the best results from the product. It may be worth buying the drops in bulk and benefitting from the Can-C free shipping available to keep the cost down.

For whom are these eye drops suitable?

The drops can be used to improve vision in patients suffering from cataracts. The drops will help to dissolve the hard coating that forms over the lens of the eye.

It is possible for younger people to use the drops to help prevent cataracts from forming. The drops will help to keep the fluid around the lens. However, there is still research pending into how effective the drops are for this use.
Those suffering from glaucoma and other corneal disorders or inflammation of the ocular may benefit from using the drops.

Order your drops today and benefit from the Can-C free shipping. They are primarily for those suffering from cataracts and want to avoid surgery but they can also benefit those suffering from other age-related problems, including glaucoma, corneal disorders and retinal disease.

NAC Eye Drops

Cataracts occur when the inside the lens of the eye becomes cloudy because of lens hardening. The cloudiness leads to a diminished vision and is the most common cause of blindness. The traditional treatment for cataracts is surgery, which requires the hardened lens to be removed and replaced with an artificial lens transplant. Cataracts occur largely due to aging, but there are a variety of other causes of cataracts.

Surgery is effective treatment for cataracts, but within 24 months of the initial surgery, about 50% of cataract patients require additional eye treatment. Eye drops have proven to be more effective, and considerably less risky than surgery. By using drops, the cataract sufferer is able to retain their natural eye lens.

There is an eye drop solution effective for cataract treatment without surgery. NAC eye drops or N-Acetyl-Carnosine eye drops are applied to the eye as any other type of eye drop is applied. These eye drops contain an ingredient called L-carnosine that is absorbed into the fluid that is around the eye. The ingredient essentially stops the lens of the eye from hardening.

The NAC eye drops, tested in clinical studies, will improve vision within a month of use, but the eye drop manufacturer recommends the drops be used a minimum of three to five months. The eye drops are effective as the L-carnosine works to break down the build-up of the hardened protein around the lens. The component is flushed from the eyes and metabolized through the bloodstream.

In addition to treating cataracts, NAC eye drops can be used as a preventative measure by anyone who wants to lessen the risk of developing cataracts. The drops will keep eyes moist and prevent the lens from developing a hardened shell. Other users include people who suffer from glaucoma or have eye conditions related to wearing contact lenses, vision problems from working on a computer, eye inflammation and corneal disorders.

There are several different brands of eye drops used for the treatment of cataracts. The most effective is CAN-C drops produced by Innovative Vision Products in the United States. The drops are available online and the consumer will always find CAN-C drops in stock.

The NAC Eye Drops are easy to use, and are applied by holding open the eye with one hand, and squeezing out two to three drops on the eye. The user should repeat that process two times a day for three to five months. The user may feel slight discomfort when the liquid hits the eye.

Always check for CAN-C free shipping when purchasing online, and take advantage of one of the many money saving offers. CAN-C can be purchased with a major credit card in 3 and 6 week supply and 2, 3, 4.5 or 6-month supply. CAN-C free shipping applies to all orders from Canada and the United States.

CAN-C comes with a 90-day money return guarantee by sending back any unused portions within the allotted time frame. Before ordering the drops, be sure CAN-C in stock is available.

PROFILE – TEAM MANAGER – CONTENT

Management of a team of writers.

You will be responsible for interacting with them and managing their workload to suit their convenience so that you can get the best results from your team.

Quality Control

You need to ensure the quality, quantity and turnaround time of work at each step and that the human resources of the firm are in line.

30% of the team’s billing is yours.

24×7

You are expected to work throughout the year except in case of an

You are expected to work throughout the year except in case of an
emergency (exams aren’t emergencies) and then too you need to ensure that the company works fine. You only need to work like 3-6+ hrs a day if you are efficient, maybe even less after some time. But you must keep a tab on your mobile and email 24×7.

You need to spread out your work hours to like 10-60 minutes in one sitting, but like at least 6-10+ times a day.

 

NOTE 1:

I will assign you writers. I will assign you projects.

You need to divide a single project between several writers to ensure:
Timely submission

Timely submission
Convenience of writers
Distributed workload
Maximum workforce efficiency
Minimum emergencies

You will have several parallel projects at the same time, of which most/many would further be divided among several writers each.

And often writers might need to work on multiple projects at the same time to manage the situation.

 

NOTE 2:

You will also be in charge of Quality control including but not limited to copyscape.comand plagiarism checks, following of client guidelines, ensuring proper grammar is maintained by the writers.

Ideally, once you receive an article you’ll probably not need to spend more than 3-4 minutes on each article of 500 words or so. Unless of course it needs revisions in which case you’ll need to send it back and recheck when you get it again.

You’ll personally need to check every single article manually and through tools that I provide. Including but not limited to Copyscape.com for plagiarism, Grammarly.com for grammar and others.

You need to go through every single article to ensure that there are no typos or grammatical mistakes. You’ll also provide feedback to your writers so they can improve. And this also ensures that you need to spend less time improving the work for those writers as time passes.

So if your team delivers say 30 articles in a day, you’ll probably need to spend 60 to 120 minutes maintaining quality control and related stuff. Besides time spent in team management etc.

Every single aspect of your team is your 100% responsibility. You act as a full-on unit. Whether it is quality control, management, clearing doubts etc.

 

NOTE 3:

You will be the link between the writers and me. Whether it is arranging their invoices or interacting with them, you’re their manager.

 

Thank You so much, God Bless!
