Engineer Vs Doctors (Who is better: Doctors or Engineers)

7 डॉक्टर और 7 इंजीनियर का ग्रुप लखनऊ से कानपुर सफर करने के लिए स्टेशन पर इकठ्ठा हुए| दोनों ग्रुप ने अपने आप को बेहतर और चालक बताने की कोशिश कर रहे थे|

सफर शुरू हुआ....

SCENE 1 (Lucknow to Kanpur):

================

7 इंजीनियर के ग्रुप ने केवल एक ही टिकट लिया और 7 डॉक्टर्स के ग्रुप ने 7 टिकट्स लिए..

डॉक्टर्स बेसबरी से TC (टिकट कलेक्टर) के आने का इंतजार कर रहे थे 

जब TC आया, 

सभी 7 Engineers एक टॉयलेट में घूस गए, जब TC ने दरवाजा खटखटाया, उनमे से एक ने अपन हाथ बहार निकल कर TC को टिकट चेक करा दिया, और TC वहां से चला गया.

डॉक्टर्स ने इंजीनियर की ये चालाकी देख ली, और खुद को उनसे अच्छा साबित करने करने के लिए प्लान किया

अब  वापसी यात्रा  ( Return Journey) में, डायरेक्ट Kanpur से Lucknow की ट्रैन नहीं मिली, तो उन्होंने Kanpur से Unnao तक पैसेंजर ट्रैन में और फिर उनाव से Lucknow तक लोकल ट्रैन में सफर करने का प्लान किया|

SCENE 2 (Kanpur - Unnao)

==============================

Doctors ने खुद को भी Engineers के बराबर साबित करने का निर्णय लिया और केवल 1 ही टिकट लेने का निर्णय किया लेकिन इसके उल्टा Engineers ने टिकट ही नहीं ख़रीदा.

TC को आता देख सारे डॉक्टर्स एक बाथरूम में घूस गए और engineers सामने वाले बाथरूम में...

फिर एक इंजीनियर बहार आया और उसने डॉक्टरों के बाथरूम का दरवाजा खटखटाया, डॉक्टर्स समझे TC आया और उनमे से एक ने अपना हाथ बहार निकाल कर टिकट दिखाया, इंजीनियर ने टिकट लिया और वापस अपने बाथरूम में आ गया, 

TC आया, Engineers ने अपना हाथ बहार निकाला और टिकट चेक कराया, लेकिन डॉक्टर्स के पास टिकट नहीं था, TC ने दरवाजा खुलवाया और सभी डॉक्टर्स का फाइन काट दियाऔर सभी डॉक्टर्स का फाइन काट दिया|

SCENE 3 ( Unnao to Lucknow):

====================

अब सब उनाव स्टेशन पर पहुंच गए और डॉक्टर्स ने प्लान किया की वो टिकट नहीं लेंगे, लेकिन सभी इंजीनियेरो ने टिकट लिया और सब Unnao से Lucknow की लोकल ट्रैन में सवार हुए| 

TC आया..... 

engineers ने टिकट दिखाया और डॉक्टर्स लोकल ट्रैन में बाथरूम खोज रहे है...........

Now you decide who is better.................

ROI Calculation in Marketing and Sales

ROI (Return On Investment), हर व्यापर में जरुरी होता है| जो हमें बताता है की किसी भी इन्वेस्टमेंट के बदले में हमें क्या और कितना प्राप्त हुआ| 

ROI Calculation for Sales Data: 

इसे कैलकुलेट करना बहुत आसान है| आप को जो profit / loss  हुआ उसको अपने सभी खर्चो से घटा दीजिये वो आपका इन्वेस्टमेंट के बदले returning हुआ और अगर उसको खर्चो के साथ भाग (÷) दे दिया तो वो percentage of return होता है यानि ROI.

                                                

Confused...?     Hey hey..... Just relax.

lets see a example:

My sales is ₹1000, I spent ₹ 100 on manpower, ₹50 stock holding cost, ₹50 due at retailer end, ₹100 other expenses like office stationery, electricity, transports etc.

Net Return: ₹1000 - (100+50+50+100) = 700

Now ROI:  (700/300)*100 = 233.33%

ROI Calculation for Marketing Activity: 

अगर आप कोई मार्केटिंग एक्टिविटी जैसे BTL या event एक्टिविटी किया है वो बिज़नस में या सेल्स ग्रोथ में कितना फायदेमंद रहा और कितना ये निकलने के लिए हम , मार्केटिंग एक्टिविटी के पहेल का सेल्स डाटा और मार्केटिंग एक्टिविटी के बाद का सेल्स डाटा को मार्केटिंग एक्टिविटी एक्सपेंस से घटा कर निकलते है|

ROI = (Sales Growth - Average Organic Sales Growth - Marketing Cost) / Marketing Cost 

Example:

किसी मार्किट की before activity सेल्स 1000 की थी और after ativitity की सेल्स 1500 की थी और 300का मार्तोकेटिग एक्सपेंस हुआ|

Net Growth = ₹1500 - ₹1000 = ₹500

Retrun = ₹500 - ₹300 = ₹200

ROI = {(1500-1000-300)/300} *100= 66.67%

ROI = (500-300/300)*100 = 66.677%

Home Remedies for DEPRESSION & STRESS

 DEPRESSION & STRESS

 

We all go through periods of depression and stress. Maybe it's because of the weather-you know, a change of season. Or for women, it could be "that time of month." Of course, pressures at the office don't help, nor do tense relationships or problems at home. Then there are additives in foods and side effects from medications that can cause chemical imbalances that may lead to depression and stress.

Common Causes of Depression

• Inheritance
• Changes in brain structures or brain function
• Pessimistic attitude
• Stress (home, work or school)
• Major diseases ( cancer , heart attack etc.)
• Hormonal disorders
• Relationship problems
• Financial problems
• Menstrual cycle changes
• Menopause
• Bereavement

CAUTION: For cases of deep depression, extreme stress and/or chronic fatigue, we suggest you seek professional assistance to help pinpoint the cause and recommend treatment.
Whatever the reason, valid or not, when you're going through a bad time and you reach the point where you say to yourself, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!" -then you're on the road to recovery.
 
Basic Solutions
If you are really ready to help yourself, you might start by cutting down on your sugar intake. Excessive sugar can help cause depression, nervous anxiety and spurts of energy followed by extreme fatigue.
Caffeine products (such as coffee, non-herbal tea, cola, chocolate and some medications) , cigarettes and alcoholic beverages may also contribute to nervous anxiety, depression and highs and lows of energy. Take them out of your life. They're taking the life out of you.
Natural home remedies

• Lying down, in a dark room, maybe getting a 1/2 hour of sleep,will always make you feel better.
• Add a handful of fresh Rose petals to a cup of boiling water. Add sugar and drink as and when a feeling of depression sets in.
• Boil some seeds of cardamom in water with tea. It will give a very pleasing aroma to the tea.

 
Dietary Remedies

• Have a pizza with lots of oregano. If you don't have the oregano, forget the pizza. In fact, forget the pizza and just have the oregano. Oregano may ease that depressed, heavyhearted feeling.
• If you have a juicer, whip up half a glass of watercress and half a glass of spinach. Throw in some carrots to make the juice sweeter. Then, bottoms up and spirits up.
• Eat two ripe bananas a day to chase the blues away. Bananas contain the chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine, which are believed to help prevent depression.

 
Other Mood Lifters

• While running a warm bath, prepare a cup of chamomile tea. Add the used tea bag to the bath, along with a new one. If you use loose chamomile, wrap the herb in cheesecloth before putting it in the tub to avoid messy cleanup. Once the bath is ready, take a pen and paper along with your cup of tea and relax in the tub. Make a list of a dozen wishes as you sip your tea. Be careful.. the things you wish for may come true.
• To lighten a heavy heart, drink saffron tea and/or thyme tea that has been sweetened with honey. (Incidentally, "thyme" was originally called "wild time" because it was thought to be an aphrodisiac. ).
• Sniffing citrus essential oils every hour you're awake may help you get out of a funk. You can buy lemon or orange oil at a health food store. Do not take the essential oils internally. If you have a citrus fruit in your kitchen, you can use a cardboard cutter to carefully make slits the peel and squeeze it so that the volatile seeps out. Then take a whiff hourly.
• Cheer yourself up by wearing rose colors-pinks and scarlets. The orange family of colors are also picker-uppers.
• Making love can help people overcome feelings of depression-unless, of course, they have no one to make love to and thats they're depressed.
• If you're mildly depressed, simply change your physiology and your emotions will follow suit. In other words, do the physical things you do when you're happy-and you'll feel happy. Smile! Laugh! Jump up and down! Sing! Dance! Get dressed up!

If you're not willing to go along with this suggestion, then you're not willing to let go of your depression. There's nothing wrong with staying in a funk for a brief period. . .as long as. you understand that it is your choice.
 
Dietary Stress Relievers

• Juices seem to be calming to the nerves. Throughout the day, sip apple, pineapple, prune, grape or cherry juice. Make Sure the juice has no added sugar or preservatives and drink it at room temperature, not chilled
• Chop a large onion into very small tidbits and add a tablespoon of honey. Eat half the mixture with lunch and the other half with dinner. Onions contain prostaglandin, which is reported to have a stress-relieving effect.

 
A Berry Good Idea

• If strawberries are in season, eat a few as a dessert after each meal (without the cream and sugar). You may feel a difference (you won't be as edgy), and you may see a difference (they'll make your teeth whiter).
• Acupressure away the pressure of the day by getting a firm grip on your ankle. Using your thumb and third finger, place one just below the inside of the anklebone, and the other finger on the indentation directly below your outer anklebone. Keep steady pressure on the spot as you count down from 100 to one, slowly (taking between one and two minutes in all).
• Peppermint tea has a wonderful way of relaxing the system and relieving moodiness. Drink it warm and strong.

 
Seeing Green...and Blue

• If you are on edge, high-strung and, generally speaking, a nervous wreck, surround yourself with calming colors. Green has a harmonizing effect, since it's the color of nature. Earth colors should make you feel better. Wear quiet blues and gentle grays. Color helps more than we realize.
• Sage tea can help relieve the jitters. Steep a sage tea bag or 1 teaspoon of sage in 1 cup of warm water for five minutes. Strain and drink three cups a day.

Bonus: Sage tea also helps sharpen one's memory and brain power.

• There's a reason why Epsom salt, an ancient natural healer, is still popular-it works! Pour 2 cups of Epsom salt into a warm-water bath. Set aside a half-hour for pure relaxation in the tub-no interruptions- just 30 minutes of stress-free fantasizing.

 
Phtheasy for You to Say

• According to European folklore, celery helps you forget your troubles from a broken heart and soothes your nerves at the same time. It's probably the phthalide in celery, which is known to have sedative properties.

 
Nervous Tics

• From time to time I get a tic around my eye. I feel like I'm winking at everyone. The tic-off switch that works like magic for me is vitamin B6-200 mg.

 
CAUTION: Do not take more than 300 mg of B6 a day. Higher doses can be toxic.
A nervous tic may also be your body's way of telling you that you need more calcium or magnesium-or both. A good supplement can help you get the 1,500 mg of calcium and 750 mg of magnesium you need daily.

The Most Green Countries

 The Most Green Countries

 

Five of the most Green Countries
Let's talk about the most friendly countries - that is, normal, virtually unpolluted environment. There are very few places left, so please see this information in order to know where even nature is not destroyed by man. Lately, though, many people reflect on their own attitude towards the environment, and began to be corrected - someone from the car refuses to who, Wind determines who uses "green" gadgets and appliances.

All countries would be as clean as those described here.
Now, scientists at Yale University ranked these countries, given the many factors. Countries were evaluated by stoballnoy (Russian Word) scale.
 
05 Norway
  In the fifth place - Norway 81.1 points. CO2. By 2030, Norway will become a country with virtually no industrial emissions of CO2. Already countries are taking steps to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, looking for ways to reduce emissions. To achieve this, the government makes the purchase of related equipment and technologies. Plans are under way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40%.
 

 
Incidentally, the steps are not purely scientific, but economic. So, those motorists who have a car with engine on diesel fuel, should pay more. In addition, Norway paves the additional railway line, to save the inhabitants of the country from having to travel by car over long distances. The country also leads in the order of landscapes, disturbed previously.
 
 
04 Sweden
 
In the fourth place Sweden - 86.0 points. While the rest of the country are experiencing hard times due to the need to always pay more for fuel, going to Sweden already in 2020 to transfer all the houses on the fuel-free mode. The Government has not gone mad and not going to turn off all heating and gas. Sweden is gradually shifting to renewable energy sources.
 

 
Such a plan was not adopted now, but back in 1980, during one of the fuel crisis. Country focuses on energy use of rivers, wind and sun. Unfortunately, Sweden is building nuclear power plants, which are well, not exactly "clean". Are taking other steps. For example, chips turn into balls and sell to the population for heating. In addition, Sweden is gradually transferred to the use of biogas in vehicles instead of the normal methane. That sounds a bit strange, but much cheaper biofuels produced in the bowels of the earth gas.
 
 
03 Costa Rica
 
In third place Costa Rica - 86.4 points. This country has long stated its intention to remain a clean country, now Costa Rica working on the conservation of virgin forests and biodiversity. By 2021, Costa Rica is going to be a country with zero emissions of industrial carbon dioxide. To do this, the Government promotes the development of new types of alternative energy sources, implementing already existing in the industry. Of course, Costa Rica - a warm country, so it does not have to heat the house. This immediately almost one-third reduction in consumption of energy.
 
 

 
 
For decades, Costa Rica has destroyed its own forests, sold abroad.  It is making significant efforts to reduce the activity of companies, cut down forests, in addition, the country is trying to plant new trees to replace felled. Only in 2008, despite the crisis were planted 5 million new trees. This is not so much but gives hope for the restoration of destroyed earlier.

02 Switzerland

In second place Switzerland - 89.1 points. This country was the leader of the rating of the cleanest countries in 2008, now she has moved into second place. Switzerland is always working to stay clean, "green" country, gradually reducing the amount of emissions and arranging their own territory. The government is gradually creating new national parks, where nature comes in its original form.
 

 
 
In Switzerland, large and small companies, as well as individuals, are adopting "green" technologies, and promote the use of such technologies for its customers. For example the popular hotels in this country are doing discounts to those who arrive in hybrid cars. In addition, many homes use heating system that receives energy from geothermal sources. But, in general, Switzerland has never been a dirty country. That's really, truly - "Clean, not where sweeping, but where do not litter." For Switzerland, this slogan is native.
 
 

 
 
01 Iceland

In the first place Iceland - 93.5 points. If we talk about geothermal energy, to whom, and lucky in that respect, it's Iceland. Iceland eliminating the need to burn something to get warm. No heat in this country plenty, despite the cold climate.
 

 
 
The Icelandic Government has encouraged residents of this small country to use "green" technology, but also the people themselves did not resist. Interestingly, earlier Iceland 70% dependent on the supply of coal, which is imported into this country. Now the dependence of the energy sphere of Iceland from coal is only 18%. Even if coal supply does stop, Iceland will survive. By 2050, Iceland is going to get rid of dependence on coal and oil, excluding those natural resources from the economy and industry of the country.
 

Namaste Tower (नमस्ते टावर)

 LOWER PAREL

The Namaste tower! Designed by the Atkins design studio, work IS currently underway on this 300m-62 storeyed mixed use tower that will encompass a hotel, office and retail space.

The location is Ambika mills which is a couple hundred meters south of the The developer of the project is unknown.

The renders and text were submitted by Atkins to the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona (3-5 Nov 2010).

Namaste: Hotel and Office Tower
Category: Future Projects - Commercial
Location: Mumbai, India
Architects: WS Atkins, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Atkins, United Arab Emirates



Following the long tradition of great Indian Architecture it was our aim that the Namaste Tower will stand as a landmark structure, representative of the burgeoning economic and cultural significance of India. We aimed to design a building that would become representative of the city: the picture postcard of Mumbai.





Key Statistics:
• 120,000 m2 of Gross Construction Area
• 380 key luxury hotel
• Exclusive restaurants, bars, banqueting and spa facilities
• 9,000 m2 of A grade office space
• 6,000 m2 of world class retail space
• 300 m overall building height



“Namaste"
The traditional Indian greeting of ‘Namaste’, where the hands are clasped together in greeting, is the inspiration for the design of this tower. In Sanskrit “Namaste` means “I bow to you`. It has a spiritual significance of negating one’s ego in the presence of another.

The Architecture of the Namaste Hotel builds on this ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the hotel are clasped together like hands greeting the city of Mumbai. In this way the architectural design of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of hospitality and welcome, as seen in the as seen in the cultural context of India.






Visual Relationships to and from the Site
With a proposed height of 300 m the tower will be seen from a distance of more than 40 km. Therefore the visual appearance of the project as a major landmark is of great importance to the city of Mumbai.

Views from the tower will extend to the South over the Mahalkshi Race course towards the Mumbai Peninsula and to the South West over the Indian Ocean. The views to the north East are towards a number of adjacent towers that are currently being constructed. The orientation and massing of the tower have been designed in order to make the very best of these visual relationships.






The Building Skin
The tower has been designed to cater for large scale Indian weddings. The occasion of a Mehndi ceremony (where the hands and feet of the bride and groom are decorated with henna) is often one of the most important pre-wedding rituals in India.

The design seeks to build on the theme of the clasped hands by referencing the intricate Mehndi patterns through the treatment of the building skin. The tower is will be clad in fritted glazing that combines to form an architectural scale graphic on the exterior of the building. This will create a sense of transparency and depth to the building while at the same time helping to maintain the thermal qualities required to meet the building’s envelope design criteria.

It is proposed that the large scale canopies over the drop-off points area support an array of solar thermal collectors. Given the available surface area and annual sunlight conditions these have the potential to provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot water for the hotel.





Location (View on
google maps):

^Site prep underway


General Arrangement
The tower is made up of two separate wings (or hands) which together form the architectural expression of “Namaste”. The space between the wings forms the corridor spaces. At either end of the corridor space a pair of open atria will offer hotel guests dramatic framed views out over the city.




Internal Atrium Gardens
These atria also serve to bring natural light deep into the plan. At the plant floor levels these atria are broken with internal gardens that serve to bring greenery into the corridor and atrium spaces. It was a central design aim to ensure that the circulation areas of the hotel, (including corridors) are just as impressive as the rooms themselves.




The Podium
The geometry of the podium is designed to integrate fully with the design of the tower. Thus it is a highly symmetrical form that responds to the wing like canopies above the drop off. Containing mostly retail, the facade of the podium is activated with water features and fountains that cascade down to street level.






The Summit
At the summit of the building a generous quadruple height atrium space encloses a Sky Restaurant and Bar which will provide a unique vantage point for patrons to gain panoramic views out over the city.
