El Nino: From a layman’s point of view

There are some scientific and technical terms which can be explained from a layman’s point of view. Why do we go to a beach? It’s because after a hot day we go out to a beach for some fresh air, nature and enjoy seeing the waves. But, on a hot summer day or during midday do we see people going to the beach? Not really because they will miss out on all the reasons for going to a beach.

El Nino is something that will heat up the oceans and therefore raise the temperatures on land and it varies from place to place depending upon the geographical location of the place you are speaking about. We are hearing lots and lots about climate change, climate effect on the ozone layers above us in the sky which acts as a natural cover for us on earth from the effects of radiation.

Without having to go into much detail about radiation from a layman’s point of view an excess exposure to radiation can give us many problems from our health, to climate change and likely to affect our forests, oceans fauna and flora. We also know of dinosaurs which once inhabited our planet and now are extinct. In the same way we might also lose many of our ocean and land plants and animals. Tomorrow there might the giraffe becoming an extinct species and we might not see a giraffe again. This is how we can put in layman’s terms how climate change can affect our health and also other living organisms in our ecosystems living with us. Would you wish a shark or a whale, lion and tiger or a giraffe going extinct? All this comes into effect when we ignore to take care of our planet and the extreme case of it being El Nino a term used by scientists to an extreme effect of climate changes affecting our planet. This is a natural cause and we can prevent or slow this process of climate change by taking care of our planet and our environment.

The next time anyone says or you hear about climate change remember you have the power and it is in your hands to change it from happening.

Banking & Finance: Mint

In the world of banking, a mint is not a place where coins are made, but rather a term used to describe a financial institution that has been granted permission by a central bank to issue banknotes. This role is also known as a note-issuing bank or a currency board. The concept of a mint in banking is rooted in the history of currency. In the past, coins were minted by governments or private entities, and they served as a means of payment and a store of value. However, as economies grew and trade expanded, the demand for larger denominations of currency increased. This led to the development of banknotes, which were issued by private banks as a way to facilitate transactions and provide a convenient alternative to coins. As the use of banknotes grew, governments became concerned about the potential for inflation and the impact of private banknote issuance on the overall stability of the economy. In response, central banks were established to regulate the issuance of banknotes and ensur...

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

Finance & Banking: Brief history of the modern bank

The history of the modern bank can be traced back to ancient times when people used various methods of storing and exchanging wealth. One of the earliest forms of banking originated in Mesopotamia around 2000 BC, where temples served as the first lenders. These temples provided loans to farmers in the form of grain or silver, with interest rates varying depending on the time of repayment. In ancient Egypt, the precursor to modern banking emerged with the establishment of grain banks that stored surplus crops and provided loans to farmers during periods of scarcity. These banks also served as intermediaries for international trade, exchanging goods for gold and silver. The concept of banking continued to evolve in ancient Greece and Rome, with moneylenders and wealthy individuals offering loans to merchants and traders. The Romans, in particular, developed a sophisticated banking system that included the issuing of promissory notes, letters of credit, and the establishment of the first ...
