Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers, On the 8th of March we celebrate Women’s Day, and to commemorate this special occasion, we recently had the privilege of chatting with Beow Yin Ong, a woman who has achieved great heights in her chosen career, and one who sets an outstanding example for women in the competitive corporate world. Beow Yin Ong is CFO of Otis Elevator China Company Limited (OCL), where she provides leadership in all financial functions. She has almost 20 years of finance experience in different areas, and plays a key role in OCL. Her opinion and confidence about the future are very important for the organization. As a woman with outstanding achievements in business, Beow Yin welcomes the fact that in China, women are given more opportunities than in the other countries in Asia. She advises women who aspire to rise in their organizations to learn from the great by finding one or two mentors. She encourages women to “Make your voice heard. Make your career goals clear. Don't be shy to be ambitious. Be appreciative of the opportunity”. During our conversation with Beow Yin, she said that it is important to turn the difficulties of 2020 into opportunities in 2021. Hence, her key focus in 2021 is to ensure that even though the market is not yet stable, her company’s business will Recent Past Editions continue growing. She gets pleasure out of those challenges that will take her to the edge, and appreciates the stress that ultimately pushes and develops her. “Do whatever you need to do, and stop comparing yourself to others. Be respectful; be responsible to yourself, to your company and to your employees.” The final advice Beow Yin offered is that one should never stop learning, and that “We have to believe in ourselves.” I hope you enjoy reading our conversation with Beow Yin, and her highly motivating message, which we dedicate especially to all women on Women’s Day.

For cloud seeding, salts such as silver iodine are sprinkled on clouds. These salts have the same crystalline structure as ice, so they starts forming ice nuclei that cool down the vapour in the cloud Cloud and make it condense and fall to the ground. These salts can be sprinkled by plane or sent into the skies via ground-based generators. Some countries also send these salts up using air balloons. But today, it is mostly done by plane. Seeding What is the scope of cloud Cloud seeding is a term used to describe a man-made process of making rain. In this process, the water seeding? vapor particles in the clouds are artificially condensed. Then, after becoming heavy due to condensation, When we talk about the scope of cloud seeding, we mean the range of things that could be done using they fall to the ground, and this is called artificial rainfall. cloud seeding. In the past, cloud seeding has been used to clear the chances of rain on any important event. On the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding day, for example, Britain employed cloud seeding to avoid any disruption of the event due to rain. They artificially induced the rain on the day prior to the event so that the sky would remain clear the next day.

China also used cloud seeding to avoid rain during the opening and closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Some companies offer cloud seeding services for those who do not want their wedding to be disrupted by rain.

Many countries of the world see cloud seeding as the solution to drought and a way to manage the lack of rainfall in their region; for example, the UAE, which has invested many millions in research on this technology.

Apart from using cloud seeding for artificial rain, we can also use it to avoid hailstorms. In a hailstorm, a lot of property and resources, including crops, get damaged. Cloud seeding can also be used to clear fog by condensing it. Fog leads to many accidents around the world; cloud seeding can deal with this This technology of making rain So yes, the world has known this that gaseous state of water, i.e., vapor, problem more efficiently than other means. artificially was first discovered in 1945, technology for a long time, but now changes back to a liquid or solid state, and since then, many developments scientists are focusing on utilizing depending on the cloud's temperature. Although research into the long term impact have occurred. Today, the world is this technology for the betterment of Vapor, when it condenses, becomes of cloud seeding is still being carried out, focusing on developing this technology human beings. So let's see how this heavy due to a change in density, and many countries are ignoring warnings given and calculating its long-term impact. technology works. falls to the ground due to the effect of by researchers and are planning to adopt this technology on a vast scale.
