Improvement Project of Science Construction CS

Abstract Science Construction’s business is in planning, developing and building road projects. The major of its clients are municipalities, city governments, and other public sector entities. While the bankruptcy rates for these clients is very low, when economic downturns happen, their ability to pay in a timely fashion also suffers. This leads to businesses such as Science Construction needing to take on additional debt and to find creative methods in order to stay afloat during times of recession. Methods such as selling accounts receivables at discounted rates and taking larger lines of credit through banks and other lending institutions are some of the ways organizations can remain viable when their cash inflows have turned into a trickle. Science Construction is asking the Turkish Courts to postpone their bankruptcy proceedings for a year while they attempt to restructure. Through this, suggestions such as forcing shareholders to pay their debt to the organization, gaining credi

The Great Depression!!

>A shanty town ship " Hooverville"
A mother of seven, aged 32 years only, photo taken in 1930s
Wall Street crash! Wall Street gone tumble tosser, consumers cut down their expenses pulling down the demands. Industries started layoffs, to cut down expenses. The demand further plunged due to escalating unemployment rate. So the Great Depression crept in.
The debtors could not repay their loans, banks began to fail. The depositors lost money; there was no deposit insurance in 1930s, as of now. 744 banks failed in the first ten months of 1930 losing $140 billion. Can you imagine, before the decade was over around 9000 banks failed in America!
Do you know what Hooverville, Hoover blanket, Hoover Flag, Hoover soup meant? In US during that turbulent time Herbert Hoover was the president. The battered people; who sold their houses and started living in shanties; created townships which were known as Hooverville. To brave the wintry cold they covered themselves with news papers, called Hoover blankets! They used to turn an empty pocket inside out, called Hoover flags! The poor in restaurants used to pour ketchups, salt, pepper into their water, called Hoover soup!So; you can imagine how the life was! That was the great depression.


Things took a better turn in 1933 when Franklin D. Roosvelt became president. He initiated new measures like work relief program for the unemployed, financial aids to farmers and business men. He fixed the minimum wages and maximum weekly working hours. Roosvelt encouraged trade unions and made business to work with government. However, restoration to normalcy took years , till the 2nd World War.

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s

Hi, Everybody, sometime some of you keep me asking about my days and time at Chittaranjan. This is natural, after all there are gaps of decades between most of you and me ! This has prompted me with an idea of writing this to share my old good days with those of you who are interested. Indian Railway under the British colonial rule was another group of companies with different British Managements. Since the different railway networks under all of them were used mutually for their own benefits. At places, different railway companies had the facilities of repairing and maintenance of their locomotives and passenger and goods carriages. To name a few, like Anda, Adra, Howrah, Liluah, Mughal sarai, Jhajha , these are they places I mention since they are quite closed by our loving Chittaranjan. The locomotives were imported from Manchester, England and few from Canada and Australia , all under the Union Jack. A good number of railway operational staffs were anglo Indians,
