Save The Feeders

There are many factors that can contribute to suicide, including poor crop yields, financial devastation or debt, access to easy methods of self-harm, or a lack of community support.

“Suicides occur due to extreme economic despair,” said M.S. Swaminathan, a geneticist whose work on high-yield rice and wheat crops helped drive India’s Green Revolution in the 1960s. His research in the late 1980s found that a 1 degree C (1.8 degree F) temperature rise reduced a crop’s duration by about one week, causing losses in the overall weight of harvest. His foundation works to find farming solutions not only to rising heat, but also to drought or salinity from coastal sea rise. Given these growing risks, he said, government policy has a large role to play. “Suitable crop insurance and a prompt compensation of losses due to climate-related factors will help to avoid a sense of hopelessness that leads to suicide,” Swaminathan said.

The Silence of the Goddess

I still remember that drowsy sunday afternoon, lying on my couch and going through an article.
It stated something like " I cannot begin to explain the pain that came with my circumcision. I cannot go to places that have many people for fear that I might urinate on myself and be noticed."
I was then in my early teens and since seventeen years this thought kept disturbing me.
Bearing the curse of a simple human, with my limited capability, just wanted to share the story of those million souls that still haunts even after their body perishes.............




And thus with Silence the story ends......

I did the very best I could to
To Tell them;
they were hurting me.
If they heard,
they would have stopped,
but children are to be seen
and not heard.
And so they just kept cutting...
and cutting ...

Retail Market Case Study

An Australian retail clothing chain, situated in New South Wales is considering for an expansion into one of the three areas (namely Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia). They wanted to assess the business environment for these areas.

Findings from Competitor Analysis:

1. There are outliers in NSW, Queensland and Victoria. There are companies which are under performing in terms of overall performance in that specific States.
2. In Queensland, there are companies which are over performing in that specific States.
3. New South Wales and Victoria has the highest median followed by Queensland.
4. New South Wales and Western Australia has high variance, there is less certainty that random companies thrown to this States will be performing at the median profit margin.
5. In Victoria, the box-plot is compact and less uncertain. The median is higher than Queensland. The box plot is close to the upper range.

Findings from Industry Analysis

1. In this industry, all the states have upward trend.
2. The time series data shows that there is a seasonality, a spike is seen in the month of December and January when people are buying gifts and a blip in February where generally people are paying off their credit card bills.
3. The turnover are given in millions and taking into account that States have different population, we move into Sales/Capita.
4. The Sales/Capita growing is visible only in Victoria and New South Wales.
The upward trend we saw in Queensland and Western Australia are no longer visible, meaning that they were partially attributed to their growth in population.
5. We can forecast the future for three years in Victoria with 95% prediction Interval.


We finally make two conclusions from this analysis:

1. The business environment in Victoria is similar to New South Wales, where the company has experiences.
2. The growth we see in Victoria is not only attributed to simply the growth in population but also growth in people's demand and expenditure within this industry.
This shows that Victoria has high potential for future growth and these are the solid points for the stakeholders to go ahead with Victoria.

Holly Ki Boli !

This is about Hollywood database from 2007 to 2011. Its is seen from the analysis that Comdey is the all time hit and giving the highest worldwide gross. So lets peep inside and here we see that there is a major player in each Genre. Like in comedy, Universal and Disney are the major players. Likewise in Romance its Summit. In fantasy there is single lead that is Warner Bros. When we come to year on year profitability, we see that Comedy has maintained the highest consistency. Romance reached its peak in 2008 and then dropped. Drama started with a bust but gradually kept falling. Animation was introduced in the year of 2010 and the getting popular. The year of 2008 is noteworthy for Hollywood industry. Box office collection from drama was rising from 2008 and there was almost no collection from Romance genre in the year 2009 and 2010. Again it made a come back in 2011 with a sharp spike.

The Twilight Series had the biggest collection, but if we see Genre wise Comedy is all around again followed by Romance.
