Google always looks to venture into different services

Mark Blowers, Senior Analyst, IT Infrastructure, Butler Group, says “Google always looks to venture into different services whether e-mail, chat, text messaging based search. So, its venture into voice communication was expected as that would be what consumers would want. Through this purchase, Google is positioning itself as a true player in communication.”

This makes matters worse for soft ware giant Microsoft, which might not be feeling really that big now. Struggling to compete with its relatively young counterpart, which has blatantly marched ahead to steal the show when it comes to online advertising, as well as its unquestioned dominance in the web search category. Noticeably, as per Nielson/Net ratings, Google is leading the Internet search market space with 55% market share followed by Yahoo (22%), MSN (9%) & AOL (5.4%).

SREI: A ‘loan’ ranger...

One time – city of refugees, city of joy, city of tram-cars with disjointed electric lines, city of ‘addas’... that’s ‘Mahanagar Kolkata’ for you! When can we start associating this heritage city with industrialisation, where star corporations like ITC are few & far between? Well, there is one name that comes to mind from the city of Kolkata, as a leader in the rapidly growing sector of infrastructure financing in India. And interestingly, in a field where one would consider banks to be showing the way, this leader in this sector is an NBFI by the name of SREI Infrastructure Finance Ltd. (formerly known as SREI International Finance Ltd.).

Since 1989 (liquidity crunch period), there’s one name that has carried the baton of infrastructure development in this city. What started with basic equipment financing has now grown to encompass project financing & renewable energy product financing as well. States Hemant Kanoria, Vice Chairman & MD, SREI, “From 1989 till now, we are in the entire value-chain of infrastructure... So, everyone, who is working in this particular field, would have to necessarily deal with us & we have to deal with them.” The company, which stepped in with the vision of being the most inspiring global infra- structure financial institution with passing time, has gone on to leave quite a mark on Kolkata’s infrastructural landscape & stood the test of time. Within a span of 17 years, the assets under management for this company have reached Rs.50.83 billion.

This fund is a three-year close-ended, growth oriented scheme & would reopen for constant re-purchases from July, 2010. The company is also planning to set up new schemes like gold exchange traded fund (ETF) & on-shore fund for overseas investment – keeping the needs of their customers in mind.

Women make better primate watchers than men is discriminatory or true

After nearly a decade along this primate path, I believe that the Vervet (monkeys) and Chacma (baboons) have further aided my understanding of our relationship to the environment, culminating in the theory that we are not one species above but one species amongst all others, and that conservation when focusing simply on serving people and less on biodiversity is unlikely to achieve successful long term initiatives. A feminine perspective of the environment is still less apparent than a male one. Developing poorer countries where socio-economic, or religious and cultural factors have influenced the scarcity of African and Asian women in primate conservation in the past, have been fortunate in having the knowledge of Leakey’s “angels”.

Since democracy in 1994, South Africa has been slowly moving away from a patriarchal society. The battle to eradicate poverty and remove inequity jostles for top position with environmental degradation and the effects of global warming.

Floods and droughts brought about through climate change have found wildlife struggling to adapt to changing ecosystems that are also responsible for rural Africans increasingly moving to towns, highlighting the fragile relationship between humankind and eco-systems. In areas where humans live side by side with wild animals, and resources are competed for, ongoing conflict between humans and wild animals has escalated. The Vervet monkey and Chacma Baboon are merely two species that continue to be shot, poisoned and captured as human habitats encroach further on their territories. These primates are listed on Appendix two of C.I.T.E.S., yet their populations are not officially monitored; reports reveal escalating damage to troop structures as well as dwindling numbers. If this trend continues, our primates face extinction.
