Two illegal workers jailed
Two Bangladeshi illegal workers holding recognisance forms were jailed at Shatin Magistrates' Courts yesterday (June 21).
During a joint operation conducted by the Immigration Department (ImmD) and the Hong Kong Police Force codenamed "Powerplayer" on May 4, enforcement officers raided a residential unit under renovation in Sham Shui Po. Two male Bangladeshi illegal workers, aged 26 and 39, were arrested. When intercepted, they were found shovelling, conveying and disposing of construction waste. Upon identity checking, they produced for inspection recognisance forms issued by the ImmD, which prohibit them from taking employment. Further investigation revealed that they were non-refoulement claimants.
The two illegal workers were charged at Shatin Magistrates' Courts yesterday with taking employment after landing in Hong Kong unlawfully and remaining in Hong Kong without the authority of the Director of Immigration or while being a person in respect of whom a removal order or deportation order was in force. They pleaded guilty to the charge and were each sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.
The ImmD spokesman warned that, as stipulated in section 38AA of the Immigration Ordinance, illegal immigrants or people who are the subject of a removal order or a deportation order are prohibited from taking any employment, whether paid or unpaid, or establishing or joining in any business. Offenders are liable upon conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 and up to three years' imprisonment. The Court of Appeal has issued a guideline ruling that a sentence of 15 months' imprisonment should be applied in such cases.
The spokesman reiterated that it is a serious offence to employ people who are not lawfully employable. The maximum penalty is imprisonment for three years and a fine of $350,000. The High Court has laid down sentencing guidelines that the employer of an illegal worker should be given an immediate custodial sentence. According to the court sentencing, employers must take all practicable steps to determine whether a person is lawfully employable prior to employment. Apart from inspecting a prospective employee's identity card, the employer has the explicit duty to make enquiries regarding the person and ensure that the answers would not cast any reasonable doubt concerning the lawful employability of the person. The court will not accept failure to do so as a defence in proceedings. It is also an offence if an employer fails to inspect the job seeker's valid travel document if the job seeker does not have a Hong Kong permanent identity card. The maximum penalty for failing to inspect such a document is imprisonment for one year and a fine of $150,000.

Sadio Mane says it is his dream to win the Premier League but that it is part of life if the ambition is ended by the coronavirus pandemic.
The season has been postponed until it is safe to resume having halted with Liverpool 25 points clear at the top of the table.
Mane has impressed this campaign, netting 14 goals to put the Reds on the brink of their first English league title for 30 years.
And the Senegal international said: I have always said I want to win trophies, the Champions League and the Premier League.
I dont feel like a champion yet. I want to win on the pitch and get the trophy.
But with the situation, people around the world losing family membersits my dream but if its not the case, its part of life.
The 27-year-old has credited the influence of Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson in strengthening the Reds.
On manager Klopp, the forward told talkSPORT: From day one, when I came to Liverpool, he has always been positive with all the players.
Sadio Mane celebrates his winner at Aston Villa with Jordan Henderson, who has impressed him this season (PA)
Ive never seen anyone in my life as positive as him.
On captain Henderson, Mane added: Hes played a big part in our success this year and hes been incredible.
For his defending ways, for his attacking wayshes been really, really good this year for us.
Hes a very good leader with very good confidence.

Babysitter is cleared of raping and assaulting the girls he was looking after
Court News.
A babysitter has been cleared of raping a young girl and indecently assaulting another he was looking after in Bedford.
Matthew Dotchin, now 36, was accused of carrying out three attacks on the first girl when she was aged between five and seven.
Last year the girl, who is now 14, wrote down what she said happened. When her mother read it she called the police, Luton Crown Court heard.
Mr Dotchin was also alleged to have indecently assaulted a seven year old girl he was babysitting between October 2002 and October 2003.
When she was aged 11 or 12, she told her mother, who called the police.
Dotchin was first arrested in 2008. He denied anything happened and no further action was taken.
When questioned by the police on July 4 he denied all the allegations.
Mr Dotchin, of Grosvenor Street, Bedford, denied three charges of rape of a child under 13 and one of indecently assaulting a child aged seven and was cleared by the jury of all the charges.

Dresses are rare in Iowa because the temperature is freezing cold for most of the year, so when summer finally decides to show up, it means that it's time to whip out our hidden arsenal of summer dresses.
This summer, the most popular colors seem to be pink, blue, black, and red.
So, before the temperature starts dropping again, here are some gorgeous yet affordable summer dresses in summer colors.
I cannot stress enough the importance of accessories and the impact they have on outfits. A belt can be that "missing thing" your outfit needs. A watch can pull your top and bottom together. A hat can complete your look. The outfits this season are no different. They just require different types of accessories.
In today's post, I will be featuring some summer accessories from 10DollarMall.
Let me let you in on a little secret: my dad is impossible to shop for! He's very particular about things like his belt and his wallet, so it's actually best to let him choose those things for himself. He also really hates it when his children spend money on him. Even though I haven't depended on his money in a while, he still believes that I should. Because of that, he appreciates any gifts we buy him (as long as there's a reason for it), but he'll go on and on about how we need to keep our money for ourselves.
Anyway my fallback gift for him for every single celebration is a shirt. He has to wear shirts, and he's less picky about those, so I've come to learn that it's the only thing I can buy him.
This Fathers' Day though I've decided I want to do something a little more special. Why? First, it's because Fathers' Day is so underrated! Everyone makes a huge deal out of Mothers' Day because your mother is the one who carried you around for nine months, etc., and I respect that, but fathers sacrificed a lot for us too! Next, my family never really made too big a deal out of Fathers' Day, and I think that needs to change.
So, what I planned is an evening of his favorite things: good food and good movies. The evening will start with a Japanese buffet and end with a movie that he's been waiting on for a while: Jurassic World.
Gifts don't have to be material especially if your dad is as difficult to shop for as mine, so in this post, I've compiled a list of non-material gifts that you can get your dad this Fathers' Day.
I recently chopped off my hair, and I deeply regretted it. Before I went to my hairstylist, my hair reached down to my lower back. I loved it, but it was dry, tangly, and it just wasn't appealing to look at. So, I decided to start over by cutting it all off up to above my shoulder. My hair now looks better, but it's taking forever to regrow!
If you can relate to my experience, I have good news! I recently found a solution to having long hair that isn't as high-maintenance: hair extensions. Of course, I've known about hair extensions for a long time, but I never really considered them because I thought they'd look fake. After some looking around, it turns out that if you use the correct type of hair extensions, they make your hair look extra gorgeous!
I received these complimentary products for review purposes with no compensation.
When Saintsco approached me to try out their bee venom skincare products, I was quite excited to say the least. First, I've had great experiences with bee venom products in the past; they work rather well on my skin. Second, when I checked out their website, I was thoroughly impressed; they really know what they're doing! They have glowing testimonials from their customers. Third, they are based in New Zealand, and their products are all naturally sourced from local bees, and we all know how renowned the country is for bee venom.
I took a month to try all four products in the Saintsco Deluxe Royal Pack, and today's post will be dedicated to reviews for these particular bee venom products so that you can decide if this natural Botox treatment is for you.

Engineers find antioxidants improve nanoscale visualization of polymers
IMAGE: Adding antioxidants can push the resolution limit of polymer electron microscopy to reveal a structure smaller in scale (blue) compared to the structure previously observed (pink) in this false-color image….
Credit: Brooke Kuei, Penn State
Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage. Antioxidants can minimize this damage by interacting with the radicals before they affect cells.
Led by Enrique Gomez, professor of chemical engineering and materials science and engineering, Penn State researchers have applied this concept to prevent imaging damage to conducting polymers that comprise soft electronic devices, such as organic solar cells, organic transistors, bioelectronic devices and flexible electronics. The researchers published their findings in Nature Communications today (Jan. 8).
According to Gomez, visualizing the structures of conducting polymers is crucial to further develop these materials and enable commercialization of soft electronic devices — but the actual imaging can cause damage that limits what researchers can see and understand.
"It turns out antioxidants, like those you'd find in berries, aren't just good for you but are also good for polymer microscopy," Gomez said.
Polymers can only be imaged to a certain point with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) because the bombardment of electrons used to form images breaks the sample apart.
The researchers examined this damage with the goal of identifying its fundamental cause. They found the HRTEM electron beam generated free radicals that degraded the sample's molecular structure. Introducing butylated hydroxytoluene, an antioxidant often used as a food additive, to the polymer sample prevented this damage and removed another restriction on imaging conditions — temperature.
"Until now, the main strategy for minimizing polymer damage has been imaging at very low temperatures," said paper co-author Brooke Kuei, who earned her doctorate in materials science and engineering in the Penn State College of Earth and Mineral Sciences in August. "Our work demonstrates that the beam damage can be minimized with the addition of antioxidants at room temperature."
Although the researchers did not quantitatively test the resolution limits that resulted from this method, they were able to image the polymer at a resolution of 3.6 angstroms, an improvement from their previous resolution of 16 angstroms. For comparison, an angstrom is about one-millionth the breadth of a human hair.
Polymers are made up of molecular chains lying on top of each other. The previously imaged distance of 16 angstroms was the distance between chains, but imaging at 3.6 angstroms allowed researchers to visualize patterns of close contacts along the chains. For the electrically conductive polymer examined in this study, researchers could follow the direction along which electrons travel. According to Gomez, this allows them to better understand the conductive structures in polymers.
"The key to this advancement in polymer microscopy was understanding the fundamentals of how the damage occurs in these polymers," Gomez said. "This technological advance will hopefully help lead to the next generation of organic polymers."
The National Science Foundation and Kuei's graduate fellowship through the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science supported this work.

Q: Install MongoDB with Homebrew and /data/db clarifications I am just starting with MongoDB and I am trying to figure out how to set it up properly. What I did is simply install it with Homebrew and created the folder /data/db as it is specified in the documentation.
The thing I got confused about was caused by this paragraph from the documentation:

Run without specifying paths
If your system PATH variable includes the location of the mongod
  binary and if you use the default data directory (i.e., /data/db),
  simply enter mongod at the system prompt:

I don't see the path to the directory mongodb in my PATH variable. But since I am not sure how Homebrew is handling that, I don't know whether I should add it by myself. In the documentation this step is added only when you would install Mongo manually.
The other thing I am uncertain about is where the /data/db folder should reside. So far I have it at root level, after I ran:
mkdir -p /data/db

Should it be somewhere inside the directory mongodb?
Any help will be much appreciated!

A: It installs by default at root level. Theres no need to move it into a mongodb directory.

A: *

*Default installations make folder in /var/lib/mongod

*

*paths are defines in /etc/mongo.conf

A: If you are using windows system then you have to set in classpath like

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin

and data/db folder you have to create in Root drive or C drive.In this folder your all databases will be stored.

A recent volcano has erupted in Indonesia. From a GS1 perspective, we need to know about the ring of fire, which leads to several earthquakes and volcanoes in that region.
The question expects us to explain about Ring of Fire and discuss why it leads to occurrence of several volcanoes and earthquakes in the region.
Introduction – Explain that Pacific Ring of Fire is a horse shoe shaped basin area of pacific ocean which stretches from all the way from South America and North America to Japan and New Zealand on the other side of the ocean. it consists of continous series of oceanic trenches,volcanic arcs,volcanic belts and high tectonic plate movements.
Explain that Indonesia sit along the Ring of Fire region, an area where most of the world's volcanic eruptions occur. The Ring of Fire has seen a large amount of activity in recent days, but Indonesia has been hit hard due to its position on a large grid of tectonic plates. Indonesia is at the meeting point of three major continental plates – the Pacific, the Eurasian and the Indo-Australian plates – and the much smaller Philippine plate. As a result, several volcanoes on the Indonesian islands are prone to erupting.
Conclusion – Mention that the recent volcano is also a result of this.
The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes and sites of seismic activity, or earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
The Ring of Fire is also home to hot spots, areas deep within the Earth's mantle from which heat rises. This heat facilitates the melting of rock in the brittle, upper portion of the mantle. The melted rock, known as magma, often pushes through cracks in the crust to form volcanoes.
Ring of Fire stretches 25,000 miles. It goes from New Zealand up through Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan, and then across the Aleutian Islands and down the coasts of Alaska, Canada, the West Coast of the United States and all the way down to the tip of South America.
It's largely the Pacific plate that makes up the majority of it. But the ring also includes the Philippine Sea plate, Juan de Fuca and Cocos plates, and the Nazca Plate. The tectonic plates fit together like a puzzle, but are constantly moving and colliding with each other, thus producing numerous earthquakes.
Many volcanoes in the Ring of Fire were created through a process of subduction. And most of the planet's subduction zones happen to be located in the Ring of Fire.
Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis because of its unlucky position on the world map.
Indonesia sits along the "Pacific Ring of Fire" where several tectonic plates collide and many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur.
The country lies on the edge of three major continental plates – the Pacific, the Eurasian, the Indo-Australian plates and much smaller Philippine plate.
Indonesia has a record of some of the most deadly volcanic eruptions in history, and right now there are ongoing eruptions at the Agung, Sinabung and Dukono volcanoes.
Mount Soputan is one of 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia which lies on a vulnerable quake-hit zone called "the Pacific Ring of Fire".
The question expects us to first discuss the issues faced in EIA process which would necessitate the creation of a regulator. Thereafter, we need to highlight that other committees have also recommended creation of such a regulator , the role it would have and the likely impact of the actions of such a regulator.
Evaluate – When you are asked to evaluate, you have to pass a sound judgement about the truth of the given statement in the question or the topic based on evidences. You have to appraise the worth of the statement in question. There is scope for forming a personal opinion here.
Introduction – Highlight that eia process suffers from several deficiencies which need to be taken care of.
Explain the need for a regulator by pointing out towards the deficiencies in eia process.
Highlight that parliamentary standing committee in December 2014 had recommended the government to set up National Environment Managament Authority (NEMA) at the central level and State Environment Management Authority (SEMA) at state level as full time processing, clearance and monitoring agencies.
Discuss the impact that the regulator would have – bring objectivity in the entire process of EIA will oversee the process of accreditation of consultants, evaluate the reports and appraisal of the projects.
Conclusion – give your view on the need for a regulator and discuss way forward.
Compromised decision-making on development and infrastructure projects have already wrecked the lives of rural and forest dwelling people. Mining and industries pollute their water sources and farmlands and prohibit their access to forests.
It is a study to evaluate and identify the predictable environmental consequences and the best combination of economic and environmental costs and benefits of the proposed project.
On the basis of EIA, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared, which is a description of the means by which the environmental consequences as pointed out in the EIA will be mitigated. Together the whole draft is termed as EIA-EMP report.
The EIA notification categorizes all kinds of developmental projects in various schedules.
The EIA notification establishes four stages for obtaining Environmental Clearance.
The Supreme Court earlier ordered the government to appoint a national regulator which would take up comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) of projects.
According to the SC order, the regulator will carry out independent, objective and transparent appraisal and approval of projects for environmental clearances.
Parliamentary standing committee in 2014 had recommended the government to set up National Environment Managament Authority (NEMA) at the central level and State Environment Management Authority (SEMA) at state level as full time processing, clearance and monitoring agencies.
The regulator will also monitor the implementation of the conditions laid down in the clearances and impose penalties on polluters. While exercising such powers, the regulator will ensure the National Forest Policy, 1988 is duly implemented.
The regulator will bring objectivity in the entire process of EIA and will oversee the process of accreditation of consultants, evaluate the reports and appraisal of the projects.
India has experienced major problems with the way environment and forest clearances are granted. It has had to deal with poor Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) reports and bad decisions of the Forest Advisory Committee which recommends diversion of forestland for developmental projects.
India has found conflict of interest in the way an EIA report is prepared and forest area is identified, demarcated and finally diverted for non-forest uses.
The regulators EAC, SEAC or SEIAA are not accountable to anyone. There are now many cases in which the clearances granted by regulators have been rejected by the courts.
Hardly any post-clearance monitoring is done.
The six regional offices of the MoEF that are supposed to enforce the clearance conditions do not have the human power or the resources to do this.
In the public hearing meeting, the consultants should not be allowed to have a dominant say, except responding to the issues of the people. On the contrary, they get involved in public hearings beyond requirements and thus mislead the local people.
There is a gross lack of awareness among the local people, about the process of EIA, its significance for them, role of various players and their own rights and responsibilities.
Moreover there is a communication gap between authorities and local people because the notice for Public hearing is issued in local newspapers only and no separate notices are sent to individual concerned panchayats.
Lobbying efforts have ensured that several sectors, including real estate construction, are altogether exempted from public hearings giving urban communities no say in how their cities are shaped and reshaped.
There are no public hearings held for urban construction projects, and governments assume that citizens have nothing to say about them.
Unlike environment clearance, there is no impact assessment report required for forest diversion. There is no assessment of the impact the forest diversion on the ecology, water resources or the people living in the area. None of the reports are made available in the public domain.
Very few states have mapped their coastal zones and developed integrated coastal management plans. As in the case of environment clearance, there is a conflict of interest in preparing the EIA report and demarcating the coastal areas.
Multiplicity of regulations and regulatory authorities help unscrupulous elements in the industry and the government. But it is bad for the environment and economic growth.
There is a need for a second-generation reform for environmental regulation, which will safeguard environment and community rights as well as reduce time and transaction costs for the industry.
In this reform process, there is certainly a possibility of setting up a national regulator that can consolidate all clearances i.e.., environment, forests, wildlife and coastal so that the project's impact is fully understood and decisions taken.
This regulator should be given enough power and resources to do proper post-clearance monitoring and assessment and also impose fines and sanctions.
The regulator must be transparent and accountable and promote deepening of public assessment, participation and scrutiny.
EIA and SEIAA, together with the SPCB, could do more to regulate pollution in Delhi and other eight Indian cities which are among the most polluted cities in the world based on particulate matter (PM) 2.5 levels, according to the World Health Organization .
Developing stronger centre-state, intra- and interstate collaborations would be beneficial for knowledge and resource sharing and improving technical, financial and administrative capabilities across states.
A critical evaluation of all high polluting firms should be undertaken in order to assess and accordingly include all relevant firms into the regulatory process.
It is essential to reassess the inclusion of all relevant industries, including the automobile industry, for the EIA process. Regular monitoring and reporting should be mandatory.
It is necessary to enhance responsible and effective governance and judicial processes to be more conducive to improve the implementation of regulations.
Ensuring public consultations and representations and engagement with civil society and allied organisations would be beneficial for ensuring compliance with regulations.
In any future reforms, it would be beneficial to consider extending EIA processes to be applicable to small and medium enterprises, as it can contribute greatly towards achieving India's goals for environmental sustainability.
With the framing of rulebook at Katowice, the need of the hour is to critically analyze the provisions to see whether they have enough concrete steps laid out in them to mitigate the disastrous consequences of climate change.
The question expects us to discuss how the Katowice rulebook has shaped up and whether it has sufficient provisions related to equity, finance and technology transfer, loss and damage etc to keep the interest of poorest and developing countries in mind.
Introduction – explain about COP24 and its purpose. Highlight that a rulebook has been framed as a end result.
Conclusion – give your fair and balanced opinion on the significance of Katowice rulebook and discuss the way forward.
The 1.5 Degree Report, which was produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2018, showed that the earth is close to a climate catastrophe.
The Paris Rulebook, agreed at the UN climate summit in Katowice, Poland, gives countries a common framework for reporting and reviewing progress towards their climate targets.
The world will now be able to see how much the world is lagging behind on the necessary climate action.
A key element of the Paris Agreement is the Global Stocktake which is a five-yearly assessment of whether countries are collectively on track to meet the Paris Agreement's goals to limit global warming. The new rulebook affirms that this process will consider "equity and best available science".
The new rulebook defines what will constitute "climate finance", and how it will be reported and reviewed.
Developed countries are now obliged to report every two years on what climate finance they plan to provide, while other countries in a position to provide climate finance are encouraged to follow the same schedule.
They seek to instil discipline in a process governed by "national determination". The rules now require them to provide detailed information of their actions.
The rules flesh out the obligations of states identified in the Paris Agreement, and make them meaningful.
For instance, the Paris Agreement contained a general obligation for developed countries to report biennially on their provision and mobilisation of climate finance.
The rules operationalise the key processes established by the Paris Agreement i.e.. ,a "global stocktake" and a compliance regime that seek to impose accountability and facilitate implementation.
The transparency framework requires states to report on indicators for measuring progress in achieving their targets, which is significant as the Paris Agreement does not impose a binding obligation on states to achieve their targets.
The rules allow developing countries to self-determine the reporting flexibility they need. Developing countries, with capacity constraints, can choose both how often and in what detail to report. They will also be provided support in addressing these capacity constraints.
The Talanoa Dialogue, the alarming IPCC 1.5°C Report, and various catastrophic climate events this year, have elicited promises from several countries that they will submit more ambitious actions by 2020.
The rules operationalising the Paris Agreement's facilitative compliance and implementation mechanism seek to infuse accountability and facilitate implementation. They permit a compliance committee to consider cases where countries have breached binding procedural obligations.
Thus, if a state does not submit a contribution every five years or a developed country does not submit its report on provision of finance, the committee will step in.
Katowice rules strike a fine balance between competing interests, create hooks for all parties to operationalise equity, and privilege the flow of information within the system.
The rulebook offers little to compel countries to up their game to the level required.
The rule book will offer no prescription for fixing things with respect to global stocktake. This risks failing to address one of the biggest issues with the Paris Agreement so far i.e.., that countries are under no obligation to ensure their climate pledges are in line with the overall goals.
Rather than directly asking for national climate targets to be increased, the Katowice text simply reiterates the existing request in the Paris Agreement for countries to communicate and update their contributions by 2020.
The newly agreed rulebook carries a substantial risk of double-counting where countries could potentially count overseas emissions reductions towards their own target, even if another country has also claimed this reduction for itself.
Accounting rules for action in the land sector have also been difficult to agree. Countries such as Brazil and some African nations sought to avoid an agreement on this issue.
This report was not suitably acknowledged as an evidence-based cause for alarm by the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Russia, however.
There is little to no finance available for poor and developing nations. The details on funding and building capacity have been postponed.
Whether or not funds will be replenished even for the implementation of the current NDCs is unclear.
References to "equity" in the draft rule book were erased by the U.S. delegation.
Article 9 (the provision of financial support to developing countries from industrialised nations) was ignored instead, there was an emphasis on carbon markets and insurance mechanisms.
Poor and developing countries whose greenhouse gas emissions have been low or negligible will bear the brunt of warming effects.
Funds for finance, better terms for new technologies to be transferred to developing and vulnerable countries, and economic and non-economic support for loss and damage and their equitable moorings in the text have been eliminated, minimised or footnoted.
The question expects us to explain the process of EIA and highlight how it can help in mitigating Environmental concerns. Thereafter, we need to explain the issues inherent in the eia process and how can we ensure that the process is followed diligently.
Introduction – Explain about the EIA process. It is a study to evaluate and identify the predictable environmental consequences and the best combination of economic and environmental costs and benefits of the proposed project.
Discuss the process followed in EIA and describe how they are meant to mitigate environmental degradation. Highlight that eia consists of identification of the consequences of the proposal, Prediction of the extent of consequences, evaluation of the predicted consequences. (Significant or not), mitigation of the adverse consequences, Documentation to inform decision makers what needs to be done. These steps if followed diligently would ensure that damages caused due to projects can be mitigated.
Discuss the steps that need to be taken to bolster the eia process.
Conclusion – Emphasize on the importance of eia and the need for reforming the process to make it more effective.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) provides a framework for assessing the environmental impact of projects at their concept stage. It normally includes a detailed risk assessment.
This process is established good practice and an integral part of most multilateral and bilateral donors as well as governments planning for infrastructure investment.
EIA plays an important part in identifying technological hazard risks and ensuring that appropriate measures are taken to prevent accidents.
EIAs also include the development of a 'safety case', integrating safety concerns at stages of design, construction and operation.
Standard EIA guidelines include assessment of the potential impact of projects on natural hazards.
Decentralisation of environmental regulation helps with better understanding of local environmental problems, to promote more transparent and efficient use of natural resources, as well as to increase local participation based on the homogeneity of common goals and priorities.
Findings indicate that the decentralisation process has led to an increase in the average regulatory stringency and has been successful in reducing the number of polluting activities.
Decentralisation was associated with relatively fewer firm births in states with stricter environmental enforcement.
Faster decision making and faster clearance of projects which is good for economy.
Increased participation of lower executives in decision making on clearances.
In the EIA notification 2006, there is a lack of clarity in overall conductance of the Screening process. As it is discretion of the State Level committee to decide which projects are B1 and which are B2, many a times the bias of respective State Governments come into play. The Scoping process faces same types of issues because of lack of clarity in guidelines.
Sometimes the EIA reports lack the expected degrees of honesty, owing to bias, corruption, exaggeration and wrong claims. Due to poor knowledge of the project area the agencies lift paragraphs and sentences from other sources, thus presenting contradictory, inconsistent and outdated information. Moreover there is no process for punishing the agencies tabling such dishonest EIA reports.
The EIA reports for the approved redevelopment projects in Delhi used plagiarised information and old baseline data.
Agencies or project proponents also prepare incomplete EIA reports, which include incomplete surveys, arbitrary demarcation of EIA study area and unsubstantiated statements. Sometimes the impact with respect to flash floods, landslides, peak precipitation etc. round the year is grossly ignored in reports.
This happens mostly when the proponents themselves conduct the EIA. They intentionally hire local and incompetent professionals to save cost over the whole process or some other vested reasons. These poor professionals prepare a poor quality of EIA reports.
Indian EIAs are never peer reviewed. EIA procedures are so corrupted by project interests that reputable scientists almost never agree to be on the Expert Appraisal Committees (EAC) after one experience.
Most of the time EIA reports are unavailable in local languages, thus local people are unable to decipher the reports, and are misled by the proponents. This can be interpreted as a clear violation of the right to information on their part.
The concerned officials for example those in Public Hearing committee are ignorant of their roles and responsibilities. Sometimes they don't even get a copy of EIA report and it is passed without their consent, owing to gross corruption of the system.
Large constructions have been difficult to manage in India. The sector has systematically lobbied to be excluded from the environmental norms of the countryand has been successful in carving out special privileges for itself in the environment clearance process.
Consultants for EIAs and the regulator's own staff may have incentives to under-report pollution. They observe that independent verification of pollution reports through overlapping monitoring regimes may have similar effects, based on environmental audits.
Further, in weaker enforcement regimes, collusion between state-level authorities and regulated firms can also become an issue.
While the former would act as a senior policy adviser to the Prime Minister, the latter could continue to look after its present duties and responsibilities.
Centre could also be involved in enabling knowledge sharing of best practices between states, as well as in capacity building for resource constrained states to develop technical, financial and administrative performance. Without addressing the technical, financial and administrative needs of different states, increased environmental stringency could translate into excessive bureaucratic burden on firms.
The centre brought an ordinance to the Indian Forests act a few months back and has been contemplating about the need to revise the act holistically and bring in a substantive legislation to make the act relevant for the present social, economic and environmental situation in India. In this context it is essential to analyze the amendments made by the ordinance passed by the centre.
The question wants us to dig deep into the recent amendments made in Indian Forest Act,1927 and discuss how these amendments will help the environment and the people and also discuss the shortcomings/ pitfalls of the amendments. Based on our discussion we have to form a personal opinion on the issue.
Write a few introductory lines about the amendment made in Indian Forest Act 1927 E.g the Act seeks to consolidate the law relating to forests, the transit of forest produce and the duty that can be levied on timber and other forest produce.
The amendments include definitions of terms like forests, pollution, ecological services etc. as there was no definition of forest in any Indian law pertaining to forest or its governance. The legal definition of forests will have huge ramifications on the conservation of forests as well as the implementation of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
After amending Section 2(7) of Indian Forest Act, 1927, bamboo is no longer a tree and felled bamboo too is not timber. So any bamboo grown in private or homestead land by millions of farmers does not require a felling permission or transit permission from any state forest department etc.
Discuss the shortcomings of these amendments. E.g Some environmentalists have expressed fears that the amendment will degrade bamboo in forests and adversely impact the lives of millions of tribal communities who have rights over this resource under the Forest Rights Act, 2006 etc.
Conclusion – Based on your discussion form a fair and a balanced conclusion on the given issue.
The government of India recently amended the Indian Forest Act, 1927, and the new changes can transform the bamboo sector.
The amendments include definitions of terms like forests, pollution, ecological services etc as there was no definition of forest in any Indian law pertaining to forest or its governance.
The legal definition of forests will have huge ramifications on the conservation of forests as well as the implementation of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
The legal and regulatory hardships being faced by farmers and private individuals will be removed and it will create a viable option for cultivation in 12.6 million hectares of cultivable waste land.
The measure will go a long way in enhancing the agricultural income of farmers and tribals, especially in North-East and Central India.
The amendment will encourage farmers and other individuals to take up plantation/ block plantation of suitable bamboo species on degraded land, in addition to plantation on agricultural land and other private lands under agroforestry mission.
The move is in line with the objective of doubling the income of farmers, besides conservation and sustainable development.
Amendment and the resultant change in classification of bamboo grown in non-forest areas will usher in much needed and far-reaching reforms in the bamboo sector.
After amending Section 2(7) of Indian Forest Act, 1927, bamboo is no longer a tree and felled bamboo too is not timber. So any bamboo grown in private or homestead land by millions of farmers does not require a felling permission or transit permission from any state forest department.
The amendment will help in harnessing this great potential and enhance the scope to increase the present level of market share and improve the economy of the entire country, particularly the North Eastern region.
Some environmentalists have expressed fears that the amendment will degrade bamboo in forests and adversely impact the lives of millions of tribal communities who have rights over this resource under the Forest Rights Act, 2006.
Recently the Abhijit Ghose committee submitted its report on increasing green cover outside recorded forest areas of India. It is an important document which needs to be discussed in detail.
The question wants us to write in detail about the recommendations of the Abhijit Ghose committee report and bring out the strategy envisaged by the report in order to increase the tree cover outside recorded forest areas in the country.
Write a few introductory lines about the importance of trees outside protected forests. E.g Adoption of agroforestry in a large scale will ensure the expansion of trees outside forests and gradually India could be a country of the net exporter in wood and wood products from its present status as a net importing nation in wood resulting in a huge savings of our foreign reserve currency.
Actions to achieve the NDC would require action on both forest lands and non-forest lands. On forest lands in terms of rehabilitating the degraded forests and improving other forest areas, and in respect of non-forest lands by creating additional tree cover through agroforestry, farm forestry, urban and peri-urban forests, roadside avenues.
"development of business models of tree cultivation on a pilot basis to wean the practice away from project funding to create self-sustaining market models.
"leasing of wasteland to the corporate sector for re-greening following proper safeguards for local communities and wildlife" etc.
India aims to increase the contribution of trees outside forests in meeting the goal of having 33% of India's geographical area under the forest and tree cover, achieve the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution targets of creating an additional carbon sink of 2.5-3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030 and improve the farmers' income and reduce the trade deficit in wood.
To address such issues, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in January 2018 formed an expert committee to suggest ways to increase green cover outside forests.
It observed that most of the experts agree that achievement of NDC [Intended Nationally Determined Contribution] will require more action on non-forest lands than the forest lands but to create the targeted additional carbon dioxide sink, actions on forest and non-forest lands will be equally important.
R&D to develop additional combinations of trees and agricultural crops suitable to the climatic condition, soil profile, socio-cultural acceptability and with a favorable Cost- Benefit Analysis.
Identification through diagnostic research, suitable tree species for each agro-ecological zone distributed in the States/UTs of the country.
Presenting a bouquet of agroforestry models to farming community of a region allowing them the option to choose the best combination.
Rejuvenating the tree improvement program with continuous work on selection of candidate plus trees and establishment of seed production areas.
Adoption of agroforestry in a large scale will ensure the expansion of trees outside forests and gradually India will be a country of the net exporter in wood and wood products from its present status as a net importing nation in wood resulting in a huge savings of our foreign reserve currency.
However, a section of environmentalists expressed displeasure with the report as they feel it is not the first time that an attempt is being made at bringing in the private sector. It is not the first time that there is an attempt to bring in the private sector. The report is not very clear about the land that will be targeted to give access to the private sector.
The main question is about the land use. There are doubts about the area of the land to achieve the 33% target. Besides land under food production is usually the common lands used by the poor which is classified as wastelands.
Forest development corporations had become forest destruction corporations and till today villagers in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh have been protesting against the destruction of rich natural forests by them for teak plantations.
Food wastage is an environmental as well as a moral issue which has a huge but unnoticed impact on the society. It is essential to discuss the issue in detail and how it affects environment and whether anything can be done to solve the problem.
The question wants us to write in detail about all the aspects as to how food wastage is an environmental issue. It then wants us to discuss in detail about the ways in which food wastage can be reduced.
Introduction- Write a few introductory lines about food wastage problem. E.g A 2011 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) illustrates the scale of the challenge. It states that globally, one third of the food produced is wasted, amounting to a loss of $750 billion.
Discuss the environmental impacts of food wastage. E.g Overall, on a per-capita basis, much more food is wasted in the industrialised world than in developing countries; 'the blue water footprint (i.e. the consumption of surface and groundwater resources) of food wastage is about 250 km³, which is equivalent to the annual water discharge of the Volga river, or three times the volume of Lake Geneva; Finally, produced but uneaten food vainly occupies almost 1.4 billion hectares of land or close to 30 per cent of the world's agricultural land area.'; Food wastage impacts on biodiversity loss at a global level. In order to maximize agricultural yields, farmers have increasingly invaded wild areas in search for more fertile lands which has led to loss of biodiversity; The food produced and then later goes to waste is estimated to be equivalent to 3.3 billion tons of greenhouse gas emission, accelerating the impacts of climate change etc.
Discuss how food wastage can be reduced. E.g Balancing food production with demand; Bettering food harvesting, storage, processing and distribution processes; Consumers to buy and prepare food with a plan; Food recycling; Foodprint campaigns etc.
Food wastage is termed as a global paradox regarding the manner in which emphasis is put on agriculture to improve food security and then a third of all the food produced ends up as waste.
This is according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) report in 2013 indicating that the food waste globally sums to one-third of the total food produced for human consumption, about 1.6 billion tons a year.
FAO report states that globally, one third of the food produced is wasted, amounting to a loss of $750 billion.
Food wastage, which includes both food loss and food waste, is not only morally irresponsible, but also causes huge economical losses as well as severe damage to the world.
In order to maximize agricultural yields, farmers have increasingly cultivated wild areas in search for more fertile lands which has led to loss of biodiversity.
Agricultural practices such as mono-cropping have also compounded biodiversity loss. The mass rearing of livestock for consumption and the use of pesticides in crop production has also significantly contributed to nitrogen, phosphorous, and chemical pollution in streams, rivers and coastal waters thus affecting marine life.
The produced but unconsumed food accounts for approximately 1.4 billion hectares of land, constituting almost 1/3 of the planet's agricultural land.
The volume of water used in agricultural food production is immense. Therefore, if 30 percent of all the food produced goes to waste, then it means that more than 30 percent of freshwater used in the production and processing of food also goes to waste.
Food wastage is responsible for the wastage of nearly 250 cubic kilometers (km3) of water.
The food produced and then later goes to waste is estimated to be equivalent to 3.3 billion tons of greenhouse gas emission, accelerating the impacts of climate change. Research also has it that food waste is the third biggest emitter of green house gases.
Food waste that ends up in landfills produces a large amount of methane.
With agriculture accounting for 70 percent of the water used throughout the world, food waste also represents a great waste of freshwater and ground water resources.
Precedence should be centered on balancing food production with demand to reduce the problem of food wastage.
The first thing is to cut back on the use of natural resources in food production. Such a tool will work towards ensuring managers and chefs only produce and cook food in accordance with demand or the orders made.
The second strategy should be placed on developing efficient technologies and production systems that better storage, harvesting, processing and the distribution processes.
Harvesting, storage and processing should also be improved by governments and NGOs by availing subsidies and training on better production practice, especially in developing countries.
Supermarkets, retail food outlets, big restaurants and individual consumers all alike can also work on their own tailored and creative efforts to reduce food footprint.
The use of meal plans in preparing food can go a long way in ending food wastage. Consumers should only buy food according to their plans or in small batches to reduce the food that goes to waste due to expiration after long storage periods.
Food recycling efforts are already underway but the technologies and methods used should be bettered. Starch-rich foodstuff such as crisps, bread, biscuits and breakfast cereals can for instance be recycled into high quality feeds for livestock.
Campaigns for reducing food footprint can help fishers, farmers, supermarkets, food processors, individual consumers, and the local and national governments to work on strategies for preventing food wastage.
The UN and FAO have already launched such a campaign by putting emphasis on "Think Eat Save – Reduce Your Foodprint" campaign slogan. Moreover, with more and more of such campaigns, societies at large will be informed on ways for reducing foodprint and get the real facts about environmental impacts.
The question wants us to write in detail about the Wates principles which are aimed at improving corporate governance standards for private companies.
Introduction– write a few introductory lines about the Wates principles. E.g these are the principles forwarded by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of the UK and are a significant step in the direction to address the perceived issue of corporate governance standards in large private companies etc.
Recently the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of UK issued its long-awaited corporate governance standards for private companies which provides a framework to help the companies meet legal requirements and improve and disclose their governance.
It encourages private companies to adopt a set of key behaviours to secure trust and confidence among stakeholders and benefit the economy and society in general.
By explaining the application of these Principles, large private companies will also be able to meet their obligations under the Companies (Miscellaneous Reporting) Regulations 2018, part of a package of new regulations that have been issued for private enterprises.
These regulations require all companies of a significant size that are not currently required to provide a corporate governance statement to disclose their corporate governance arrangements.
An effective board develops and promotes the purpose of a company and ensures that its values, strategy and culture align with that purpose.
Effective board composition requires an effective chair and a balance of skills, backgrounds, experience and knowledge, with individual directors having sufficient capacity to make a valuable contribution. The size of a board should be guided by the scale and complexity of the company.
The board and individual directors should have a clear understanding of their accountability and responsibilities. The board's policies and procedures should support effective decision-making and independent challenge.
A board should promote the long-term sustainable success of the company by identifying opportunities to create and preserve value and establishing oversight for the identification and mitigation of risks.
A board should promote executive remuneration structures aligned to the long-term sustainable success of a company, taking into account pay and conditions elsewhere in the company.
Directors should foster effective stakeholder relationships aligned to the company's purpose. The board is responsible for overseeing meaningful engagement with stakeholders, including the workforce, and having regard to their views when taking decisions.

If you're still having a hard time getting the perfect floor mat for your ride, you can consider having one made especially for your car. Just properly measure the floor space from the door to center consoles. Then, cut a piece of cloth that matches the measurements and spread it flat on the floor of your car. Make some adjustments if necessary before taking to the car-mat makers.
Customizing steering wheel covers is another easy way of making your car more "you". If you're not comfortable with the material or the design that your steering wheel came with, then you might want to change it. If it's for practical reasons like grip and comfort then we suggest you use a steering wheel cover made of Sheepskin. It can also protect your palms from extreme cold and also sweating if the weather is too hot.
However if it's the design or style of the steering wheel that you're so worried about, then you might want to look for something that looks good and is also comfortable at the same time. Auto supply stores carry all sorts of steering wheel covers in different designs, materials and even sizes. You can pretty much find something that fits your car's steering wheel but it may not be one hundred percent of what you really had in mind. To put the design in your head into an actual steering wheel cover, you would need to order a customized steering wheel cover from service providers that you trust.
All you have to do is take the measurements of your steering wheel and present it to them. You can also have them do the measuring for you. Another option is to order from virtual shops. Once you start chatting with a representative from an online shop, they will usually assist you with your order. You can use this chance to ask anything about the product and even inquire if there's a shipping fee incurred with your order.
One of the easiest ways to customize your car interior is by buying a car seat cover. Now, there could be a variety of reasons for someone to customize their car seat. Most new cars in the market have leather or leather-like upholstery. These normally don't come with seat covers so getting some would definitely help in protecting the delicate material. Older vehicles, on the other hand, need protection for their seats too. It's also a good trick to cover stains or unsightly rips and tears on the seat that have become irremovable.
Like most of the easy customization tips here, car seat covers are also available almost anywhere. The easiest way is to get them thru online purchase since you won't have to leave home. You just need to make sure that you enter the appropriate details about your car seat's dimensions. Some sites will provide you a list of cars that have unique seat measurements and you can choose from there. This list usually has high-end cars with additional safety features that are not present in common vehicles.
For example, side-impact airbags may not work properly in an accident if you use a universal car seat cover on your seat. There are also seat covers with standard measurements if you have an older car. Some sites even have an online artwork station where you can manually design the car seat cover you like by adding photos, emojis and texts.
This is one customization idea that not all car owners would often think of doing. Maybe because most people think that the concept of adding more organizers into their cars is more functional than stylish. This is a misconception because many fail to see that functional organizers can actually add more style to your car interior! This tip doesn't call for hard boxes, metal stands that hold paper, or even a paperweight. Those bulky items are meant for desks and offices, your car would need something that fits nicely in it. Here are our top suggestions for functional but stylish organizers for your car interior.
You may recognize this technique from the fridge covers that your grandma used to have. Instead of having a cluttered glove box, why not get a car seat cover that can have pockets at the side and back? This is usually a customized piece so it may be more expensive especially if your car seat has unique measurements too.
Your car's trunk can have all sorts of stuff in it and it may end up being a mess. Pick out a collapsible trunk organizer of your choice and start cleaning up that rear compartment.
If you have a habit of storing important notes in the glove box, you may need an organizer to separate them from other contents. If a variety of things are in your glove compartment, get yourself a small-sized paper organizer that can separate the receipts from contact info and so on. It's bound to be available in a variety of colors, so pick out whichever one you fancy!
