Insurance = Business – Risk = Profit

For a new beginner in any business or profession, the trends of the market are not any less important than the academic qualifications he got. Many educated businessmen or professionals are seen going down just because they failed to notice some special trend in their industry. Industries are changing and one can’t be completely updated with every change that is happening. Here, I’m talking mainly about the risks that come along with your scope of profit when you are about to start something new. The phrase ‘no risk no gain’ is not just a popular saying. It is a completely technical fact. So, you may equally be going for a huge loss when you are seeking a profit for your effort and investment. There are many unexpected ways in which your business can go horribly wrong.
So, why not be safe! Insurance business, today provide a wide range of coverage for many such contingencies that can even financially embarrass you, if overlooked. Don’t worry! Insurance industries can be your guardian if you can use them nicely. Insurance companies ensure a number of ingredients of your business that may induce a loss to your business.
Just have a look upon the following list of insurance you can get to make your business sounder and risk-proof:

  1. Stock insurance: Your inventory is the main ingredient of your business whether you trade in goods or produce your own goods. Left unconsidered, even petty thefts from your huge stock may impact seriously upon your profitability. And your stock is the one thing that can destroy you in most ways. Fragile to fire, water, and even theft, your stock can bring you a loss while in transportation, storage, production, or virtually any stage. You can ensure your stock against any such probable losses. You don’t have to go through every one of these risks and cover yourself against each of them. You just have to find out, which one of these risks are you most exposed to. For example, if you trade in goods internationally through sea routes, marine insurance is your thing. In potentially inflammable circumstances, the stock should not be stored without purchasing fire insurance.
  2. Keyman insurance: If you are in the business of providing any service, then the most necessary ingredients in your business are probably your employees. A restaurant business can immediately go down if something happens to the cook. So, in keyman insurance, such risks are accounted for, and coverage is available against death or separation of such key employee. But you should purchase this coverage only if your business is heavily dependent upon some key employees of yours.
  3. Insurance for fixed assets: If some unwanted event like fire or flood occurs, not only is your stock at risk, but also your fixed assets liable to bring you loss. The plant and machinery you are using or even the building of your business may bear some damage, which will ultimately cost you dearly. Such important (or even unimportant) assets can also be insured against any contingent losses. But ensuring each and every fixed asset would not be profitable. So, you will have to analyze, among others which of your assets are more prone to damage and which among them are more likely to cause you more severe loss.
  4. Insurance against the loss of profit: So, let’s say your inventory, fixed assets, and even your key employees are either safe or sufficiently insured, and a fire broke out in your factory. Would you be okay with it? Of course not, right? There still remains the fact that your business would be disturbed for a while until the repairing is finished. That means you aren’t going to get your normal profit, that you would have got if there hadn’t been any fire in the first place. So, there is this insurance policy, where you can cover yourself against such cases of disruption in your business. Basically, an estimated profit margin is computed depending upon previous year’s normal rate of return and adjusting it for any expected changes in this year. Such a profit, that you couldn’t make due to say the fire will be your claim if you are fully insured. Otherwise, an average clause is used to make it proportionate to the percentage of insured amount out of insurable amount. If an insured amount is equal to the insurable amount, it is said to be fully insured.

If still there remains any risk, you can think of, that I forgot to speak about, just go to the nearest insurance agent with your concerns. I’m sure he will surely have something for you too. Insurance is a risk management technique. And when you are able to manage the risks in your business, the only thing remaining would be profit.

In some places, robbers find travelers to be good targets. You need to be alert at all times. Do not trust easily and be suspicious. It is stressful to get stuck in travel scams and get into uncomfortable situations. Try and be open but cautious at the same time.

Do not be too suspicious that you become paranoid. Be open to strangers but in a cautious way. Greet people you meet and turn strangers into good friends. You may even end up making lifelong friends.

Will Public Pressure Help to Arrest Mast****ting Guy in Public Vehicle?

The incident of violence and abuse in public transportation is not a matter of concern for many people. So, a victim women themselves do not even want to take a counter notification or make a complaint for legal proceedings. But in recent times, pressure from the public level has begun to take action on the victim, with pornographic videos that are public on social networks. Their complaint paper also mentions a pornographic incident in public transport.

On Friday morning, some women reached out to Metropolitan Crime General Branch. Those who had filed a complaint in their hands did not reach the General Branch with personal problems Instead, they reached there with a complaint about the public transportation, which has become insecure for women. Their complaint paper also mentions a pornographic incident in public transport. A man was standing behind a woman and masturbating, where self recorded video has became public, the woman has reached the police with a complaint from the victim’s side.

This incident shows how insecure women are in the public transportation. During pick hours in the morning and evening these vehicles get over crowded. At this overcrowded vehicle, many girls and women get insulted and abusive, those incidents never reach to public or social media. This incident has taught everyone a lesson that not to tolerate abuse, but to report the complaint to police. In order to prevent these types of violence in public transportation, the victims should immediately make a counter notification, otherwise do not hesitate to file a complaint report in Police. The police also need to increase monitoring and activation.
Voilence Against Women

I hate myself to say it loud that I am a Man. Do you hate yourself or feel shame? This incident has crossed the limit. No wonder every girls or women has to face rapist everyday. Until this kind animal person will not get arrested and get punishment, these types of incident will keep happening. If he is not scared of doing this type of action in public transportation, than he won’t be scare to rape any girls or women in public as well. At that moment, will you still be quite?

Global Culture and Football Fandom

Culture is the customs and beliefs of a particular community who shares the same ideological values and are bounded with certain norms to run the society smoothly. Wendell Pierce an American Actor mentioned culture as the intersection of people and life itself. He has viewed culture as the way to deal with everyday emotions in life (Pierce, n.d.). Cultures are the way of life which distinguish community with each other. It is the sum of learned behavior of people which are transferred from generation to generation.

culture-1

People within the same culture can carry different traits. The perspective of people to see certain things can differ within an individual so different culture can be concealed within a community. There can be sub-culture and counter-culture within a society. Sub-culture is a practice which exists within the mainstream culture. Whereas a counter culture is a perspective which sees mainstream culture as pure opposition. In this subculture, people go against the norms and traits created by mainstream culture. We can also say that sub-culture and counter culture are the subcategory of culture and exist as a minority.

Being said I categories myself into vocational sub-culture. To further simplify, I am into “Football (Soccer) Fan Culture”.  This culture drives me to follow Premier League giant Manchester City. From the early days of soccer fan culture, people have divided it into two groups i.e. Traditional Fans and Consumer Fans. Traditional Fans are the fans who support one particular team based on Bloodline, Geographical Location, Ethnicity and Nationality, Religion and Socioeconomic Standings. Consumer Fans further have been classified into Direct and Indirect form. Direct fans are those fans who attend games physically whereas indirect fans are those who support their teams through online media and from the source of information (Jenkins, 2018).

MAN-CITY

I started following Manchester City since 2008. Although historical giant clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United dominated the domestic league and world football. I was fascinated by the home kit color of Manchester City. The transfer of my favorite player at that time Carlos Tevez from Manchester United to Manchester City was cheery on top for me to get attract with this club. With all these interest and passion, I got myself engaged with like-minded people. Ultimately we formed a group named “MCFC NEPAL” which is now officially recognized group. To utilize our free time doing what interests us we organized an official screening of the game. By viewing our responsibility for society, we also organized different social events like Football Workshop in “Melamchi Village of Nepal” targeting local youths. I feel that “MCFC Nepal” gave us the platform to connect with different people. Getting to know each other, wishing for a particular team to success, contributing our time on same ideology empower us to further grow as a group or as an individual.

Typical footballing fan culture considers us global fans as “Consumer Fans”. Although the definition of traditional fans doesn’t consider global fans as “Real Fans” I think the subculture I follow is counter culture. Though there is no physical presence, we global fans are as passionate as local traditional fans. I think we global fans are more enthusiast than them, due to different time zone we are compelled to watch games at midnight. We global fans don’t hesitate to support our team under any circumstances. So, under the view of typical footballing fan culture the subculture I follow is counter-culture but in my view, we fans of football across the world are under one culture.

Women’s Objectification in Pop Culutre

Society has always valued beauty from the period of ancient civilization. The ancient Greeks believed that beauty consisted of three major components including Symmetry, Proportion, and Harmony (Winwood, 2016). This component was modernized into the certain standard as propounded by today’s society. During the period of 1950s-The Golden Age of Hollywood the terms “Curvy-hourglass figure”, “Large Busts” and “Slim waist” worked as the default standard for women’s body shape (Holla, 2018).

In popular culture, media and advertisement have a large impact on how we see and feel about things around us. In past, Women’s were portrayed as a sex symbol, housewives, unintelligent and conformist. Although, things are changing now in the name of women empowerment the underlying meaning has been the same. Women in popular culture have been objectified more than ever.

We are exposed to the objectification of women on the TV, Internets, Apps, Magazines, and News. They are being used as sexual objects; to grab the attention of men, to help sell a product. Also, big busted, thin, young and blonde is the ideal image for many females. Advertisements are trying to sell these ideal women as a product that any average women can transform into.

In 2008, famous celebrity Lady Gaga reviled her trauma of being bullied. The reason was she didn’t look like the “Ideal Image” of a woman. She was teased for being ugly, having a big nose, being annoying. During one interview in 2008, she said that she used to be called sh*t (Hiatt, 2011). But she stood against all these criticism and did the hard work to get into the “Ideal Shape” to reach into the level from where her voice can be heard. Now she is going against this and advocating against women objectification.

The effects of objectifying women have been seen more in the last 50 years. According to NEDA, to gain the “Ideal Body” women are forcing themselves for “Crash Diet” which has caused Eating Disorder which is becoming large within the American Population. From the survey done in 2015 by NEDA, it is concluded that 80% of 10 years olds fear to be fat (Grefe & Beale, 2012). This survey raises a modern-day issue of an individual’s interest to portray themselves as the “ideal person” rather than accepting natural growth.

temp

From the beginning of Modern Civilization till now women are being objectified. Although, if women are tested intelligent, possessed strong arms they are advised to follow the sexist rule created by society.  At present, all forms of media ranging from traditional to nontraditional generate an ideal image of what is beautiful. This is evident through the cult of beauty propelled by today’s society.

To change the overall perspective of society it is necessary for women to accept that beauty lies in the eye of beholders and they should feel mentally beautiful and accept the traits given by nature to them (Official Channel & Dove, 2013).

The rеаѕоnѕ fоr thе rеаl estate іnvеѕtmеntѕ bесоmіng less risky аdvеnturе primarily rеlаtе to vаrіоuѕ socio-economic fасtоrѕ, location, mаrkеt bеhаvіоr, the рорulаtіоn dеnѕіtу of аn аrеа; mоrtgаgе іntеrеѕt rаtе ѕtаbіlіtу; gооd history оf lаnd аррrесіаtіоn, lеѕѕ of inflation and mаnу mоrе. As a rule of thumb, іf you hаvе a gеоgrарhісаl аrеа whеrе thеrе аrе рlеntу оf rеѕоurсеѕ аvаіlаblе and lоw stable mortgage rates; уоu hаvе gооd rеаѕоn fоr іnvеѕtіng іn the rеаl еѕtаtе market оf such a rеgіоn. On thе contrary, if you hаvе thе condo in a рlасе, whісh іѕ burgeoning undеr thе hіgh іnflаtіоn, it іѕ fаr-fеtсhеd tо еvеn think оf іnvеѕtіng іn іtѕ rеаl еѕtаtе market.
Nо Need for Hugе Starting Cаріtаl
A rеаl еѕtаtе рrореrtу іn Cаnаdа саn be procured fоr an іnіtіаl аmоunt аѕ lоw as $8,000 tо $ 15,000, аnd thе rеmаіnіng amount саn bе taken on hоldіng the рrореrtу as ѕесurіtу. Thіѕ іѕ whаt уоu саll Hіgh Rаtіо Fіnаnсіng. If you don’t hаvе thе іdеа аѕ tо hоw it wоrkѕ, thеn lеt me еxрlаіn you wіth thе help оf an еxаmрlе. Rеmеmbеr thаt ѕауіng… Exаmрlеѕ аrе better than percepts!
Suрроѕіng, уоu buу a condo wоrth $200,000, then уоu hаvе tо juѕt pay the іnіtіаl саріtаl amount ѕау 10% of $200,000. The rеmаіnіng amount (whісh is 90%) can be fіnаnсеd, against your соndо. It mеаnѕ thаt іn a High Rаtіо financing, thе rаtіо between the debt (hеrе in thе еxаmрlе іt is 90% Mоrtgаgе) and thе еԛuіtу (here in the example іt іѕ 10% down рауmеnt) іѕ vеrу hіgh. It іѕ also іmроrtаnt tо calculate hіgh rаtіо mоrtgаgе іnѕurаnсе wіth the hеlр оf Canada Mоrtgаgе аnd Hоuѕіng Cоrроrаtіоn (CMHC). If nееdеd, you can also рurсhаѕе thе condo оn 100% mоrtgаgе рrісе.

An аррrесіаtіоn іѕ an average іnсrеаѕе in thе property vаluе over оrіgіnаl capital investment, tаkіng place оvеr a реrіоd.

Shrinking Capitalism and Rising Commons

If you think that ‘technological singularity’—artificial intelligence controlling human intelligence – is leading us to the brink of civilization, it is nothing more than a Luddite thinking. Technology is, instead, making our life more sophisticated, bridging the gap between the classes, and even changing the classical economic paradigms. These things are observed, not in the complex equation of ‘governing dynamics’, not even in the dry pages of social theories but in simple every day phenomenon – we share music, movies, eBooks almost freely with our friends, exchange the ideas in the social network and share our experiences without hesitation.
