‘Oil Titan’

Also

, while critics voice against Exxon’s attitude, they forget that it was Exxon who’d initiated research in solar energy (which it also dropped!) in the wake of the 1970s oil shock and has many patents even today, including an ongoing $100 million funding of an alternative energy project at Stanford, a carbon-capture project tie-up with EU et al – facts unknown to many!

Hence, while ‘oil titans’ should not be forced to jump into the bio-fuel well, they should (at the same time) be penalized heavily for creating ecological imbalances, spills & pollution as well as incentivised for earth-saving initiatives.

This way, the Earth will make sense even for the insanely esurient shareholders.

Did you say water?!? Take a walk

There is an urgent need for public policy to be transformed from a

purely centralised approach to involving local bodies in deciding regional water mobilization and usage methodologies, of course, under regulated guidelines and norms. Gita Kavarana of Centre for Science and Environment suggested to B&E that for this, proper resources, financial and technical support, incentives for people and effective consultancy support are imperative. Though the famous village in Maharashtra, where 75% of land is sculpted and water- fed, resulting in productivity worth Rs.5 million, is always talked about, can’t we have many more? What? Er...

Kindler does shuffling act!

Jeffrey Kindler, Pfizer’s Chief Executive Officer has announced a

turnaround in its leadership positions to re-arrange the drug company, struggling with augmented competition and the loss of exclusivity rights. Two key functions, Research and Finance, are the targetted two blocks. 57-year-old John LaMattina, the research and development chief of the company for a long time, and 45-year-old Alan Levin, the short-time chief financial officer will be retiring soon as a new replacement (rather successor) is found out. All these steps are a consequence of Kindler’s strategies to ‘transform’ Pfizer into a leaner, more productive company.

Inconceivable, no more!

Ain’t no risk high enough

The concept of late motherhood

began to gain ground as medical science evolved. There was a time when conveniently conceiving at the age of forty was as inconceivable as growing potatoes on a banana tree (!), but obstetrical advancements have not only beaten age, but other complications like obesity, acute diabetes and fluctuating blood pressure too!

At odds with this growing trend, Dr Madhu Shrivastav (Senior Consultant and Coordinator, Gynaecology, Fortis Hospital, Noida) opines, “Whatever the research be, the fact remains that conceiving at a later age is medically not advisable. Albeit the ideal age is 25-30 years, many women these days are planning a family at a very late age, and then there are gynaecological complications that surface later. Due to their high flying careers, there has been a paradigm shift in the ages of women trying to conceive.”

Now fathom this: According to the American Fertility Association, the chances of conceiving in one cycle from the age of 27 to 30 drops dramatically to 20-30%, and by the age of 40, falls down to 5%. But still, the brass tacks of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in the US reveal that a total of 104,644 births to women in the age group 40-44 were registered in the year 2005 alongwith 6,546 to 45- year-old women and older. Now that’s some ray of hope!

Amping up the ramp!

To many,

it might sound as an extension of their job, but if the man in the thick of it – Pataudi Jr. – is to be believed, then he is quite nervous about his maiden walk down the ramp. Saif is due to debut on the ramp, for endorsing a fashion brand, in a show to be choreographed by Mehr Jessia. Though Saif couldn’t make it as a cricketer, he could still learn a few tricks from Pataudi Sr., for Mansoor Ali in his heydays did carry a fair bit of panache on and off the ramp, easily overshadowing the current crop of cricketers and actors.
