...preparation of food). A combination of factors traps them into this practice, including tradition, lack of awareness about the importance of sanitation, and misconceptions about the costs involved.34 In addition, communities must learn that technologies, even simple ones, are not the monopoly of engineers and technocrats, before they have the confidence to use and manage their sanitation problems.35 For policymakers and program implementers, experience has shown that information, education, and communication (IEC) campaigns involving communities and grassroots organizations can accelerate the process of change and hasten the adoption of sanitary practices. These efforts must include addressing sociocultural attitudes toward owning a household toilet. In many cases, this will require educating SCs and STs, many of whom are illiterate, about the need to use latrines and the importance of hygiene. In this effort, it is important to understand that much of the demand for latrines comes from women, as they are the worst sufferers due to non-availability of these facilities. Women have, by far, the most important influence in determining household hygiene practices and in forming habits of their children.36 Thus, the social marketing of many sanitation programs often start with making house-to-house contact to educate and motivate women in target communities. Messages that appeal to the need for privacy and the social stigma of open defecation have been shown to work.37 Some of the more successful...

...Lady, the public loo isn’t for you ‘Build toilets first, Temples later’ – P.M. Narendra Modi Planners, designers, urban-architects, municipal authorities, politicians especially city dwellers, ask ‘what do you do when you are in a public space and have to use the loo?’ A man would probably look for a wall which in bold paint reads ‘DO NOT URINATE’ and answer natures’ call but what if you are a sabzi wali aunty? A municipal cleaner? Or just a female resident who needs to use a toilet? Unlike in rural areas, squatting openly is not a possibility and shouldn’t be either. It is seemingly odd for such a question to be raised. However, by the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO) norms, there must be at least one public toilet per kilometre in the city. Additionally, the male to female ratio for the availability of these toilets should be 1:1. Though in reality, women’s’ public toilets are neglected in discourses of planning and design. Despite the new government’s proposal for “100 smart cities” project, the master plan does not feature a provision for appropriately designed public toilets especially for ladies. Furthermore, in Pune district, only Rs.4.28 crore has been spent on the construction of public toilets for women since 2011. The cost of each toilet ranges between Rs. 4 Lakh – Rs. 10 Lakh. A primary survey conducted by Hyderabad Urban Lab shows that 52% of the toilets in Hyderabad are unusable. In Delhi, the New Delhi Municipal Council...

Access to the village tap for drinking water is only available for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, thus water is collected in large vessels for daily use.

...and technological resources required in the operation of your selected organisation. In this assignment I will describe the main physical and technological resources required in the operation of Tesco. Physical Resources Physical resources are resources that the business needs to maintain in order to carry out its activities. They mainly include things like facilities, buildings, machinery and more. These are resources that are available to a business’s organisations in form of buildings and other machineries needed for the day to day running of the organisation. Tesco have many physical resources such as their toilets, buildings, trolleys, CCTV’s. Toilets is a good resource to have within a good organization as it can attract more customers to not feel rushed into shopping because they need to go toilet they can shop at their own paste and use the toilet when they feel to. Another physical resource for Tesco is the car park so customers can park within Tesco’s car park and not have to worry about receiving a ticket, or checking their time to get back to the car before they get a ticket, this will also attract more customers to shop within Tesco. A recent physical resource that Tesco has brought in is the self-checkouts; this is good for customers that want to quick shop as Tesco can be quite busy on some days they don’t want to wait in the long queues so they can use the self-checkout which is much...

Finally she taught me to operate the type machine. Mrs. Tatik was a perfect employee. But sometimes I thought it was affluent. On the twenty seventh day she made me type a double degree students report. Then I printed and gave it to her. She considered that it was still wrong. I retyped and reprinted it more than three times. But she said it was less perfect. I didn’t understand what the perfection she wanted. Whereas others said that it had been perfect. Finally she scolded me. She said that she didn’t like incompetent student to apprentice at her office. Her dictums got me cry at the toilet for two hours.

...Go Green With a rare opportunity, we can listen to the Guest Talk by Dr. Yu Yuen Ping William. He is the CEO of the World Green Organization, which is difference from other organization. They is not only focus on environmental, but also people’s live hood and economic. And determined to establish a sustainability environment to push and solve social problem. After introduce their think tank, a novel topic is show on our eyes. Energy Poverty. Energy Poverty is meaning the family use 10% of their income to pay the utilities, which is a high expense. Beside economic aspect, there are two other aspect we should consider, they are social and environmental. For social aspect, poor people are easier to pay more utilities expense. They maybe turn on the air-conditioning for a long time because they have no window in the house. And they need use the natural gas, and natural gas is a high expense resource for them, so that is also relate to the economic aspect. For the environmental aspect, the poor people are lack of money to buy the energy-saving products to decrease the utilities expense. They will use rice cooker to boil water, they don’t know to use fan and air-conditioning alternately to save energy. So these three aspect are relate to each other, and we should use the social worker to teach people how to use electrical in a right way to reach the purpose of social aspect. And should find some company to invest the fund in economic way to subsidize people. And for the environmental...

...84 Days of Succession A struggle of 84 days Just like any other day, I wake up, stroll into the kitchen, put the kettle on and set myself down on the toilet seat. After done with my business, I find myself in the lounge, sitting sideways on the sofa with a hot mug of tea in my hands. The lounge is barely furnished, just a sofa and a kitchen table placed adjacent to it. I light a cigarette and take a couple of sips and then a few drags. I'm good now, I'm awake. I look outside the window and find myself thinking of Jeffery. Jeffery is one of my flat mates. We are quiet close and have grown fond of each other during the past few years living together. We are never bored and have the most insane time when we are together, which sometimes leaves our third flat mate, Adam, feeling a little redundant, or at least that's what I think. Actually Adam is usually awfully busy doing God-know-what and he doesn't like the sort of games Jeffery and I play. The cigarette is finished but not my tea. I light another one. I always wake up before Jeffery. He must be still asleep in his room. Last night was fun, but not worth it, I find myself saying this more and more frequently then I should these days. You see even though my love for Jeffery flows in my very veins, and I will always love him, but Jeffery is a complete ass and he doesn't know what he is doing with his life and he needs to go! I better start studying before Jeffery wakes up, I say to...
