Women and Staying Healthy| Based On Seema Goswami's Book on How to Get Ahead @ Work| Women On top!
Hi! Staying healthy includes exercising and diet, right? The biggest grouse of all working women is that they have no time to exercise. What with all the multi-tasking- cooking breakfast, getting the kids ready for school, packing in a full day at work, going out for dinner- where is the time to fit in a daily workout or even the occasional pilates, Zumba class? Sure, they have a little downtime during the weekends, but how can they exercise when just the thought of putting on track pants and trainers tires them out? But you...

Episode 11: In conversation with Capt. Richard Madden on container ships and Canals
Container ships sizes have increased dramatically without any change in number of crew. The ports may have spent billions of dollars to optimise existing infrastructure to enable these very large vessels to enter. The ships may not get any larger but the changes may already have stretched the crew to their limits of adaptability. While the size kept increasing, there has not been any significant change in the number of crew. Almost a similar number of crew have to manage lashings on a vessel that carries 10000 container or 20000 containers. Something will have to be compromised somewhere and this could...
