The first wholly artificial gene was synthesized by Har Gobind Khorana.

Veena Sendre from Chhattisgarh was the India's first Miss Trans Queen.

It develops in a region of  moderate rainfall and limited evaporation. It is agriculturally a poor soil but addition of lime and fertilizers would yield favourable results. Found extensively in northern Canada and northern Russia.

A project has a beginning and an end and passes through several phases of development known as life cycle phases. Every project has certain phases of development. A clear understanding of these phases allows managers and executives to maintain control of the project more efficiently.
These phases are varied depending upon the industry involved but all follow the same basic steps.

How Important is Project Life Cycle::

1. This is a tried and tested method for delivering projects on time, within budget and to the expected quality targets.

2. Aids communication and helps define roles within the project organisation as it provides a framework for the project that is visible and understood by all members of the project.

3. The project lifecycle will allow the project manager to link progress directly to each phase and recognise the completion of each phase

4. The phases within the project lifecycle provide an understanding of the evolution of the project, being able to identify areas that need greater attention at different times such as risk management in the early stages and more Project Evaluation Reviews during the Implementation stage.

5. At each stage, approval is generally required from outside the project team before proceeding to the next stage.

6. The project life cycle also allows for the gate procedure to be used.

7. At each stage, approval is generally required from outside the project team before proceeding to the next stage.

Hedging is a tool to minimize the risks. It is thus like an 'insurance' where one pays a premium but gets an assured amount in case of some uncertain event to the extent of the loss actually suffered on an equally opposite position for which the hedge was done. Thus, hedger is different from arbitrageur and speculators, as the intention here is not to maximize the profit but to minimize the loss.

E.g. In Capital Markets, suppose an investor has an equity portfolio of Rs. 2 lacs and the portfolio consists of all the major stocks of NIFTY. He thinks the market will improve in the long run but might go on a downside in the shortrun. NIFTY today stands at 4300. To minimize the risk of downfall, he enters into an option contract by buying NIFTY-PUT of strike 4300 at a premium of, say, Rs. 100. Thus, the actual amount paid is Rs. 5,000(lot size of NIFTY is 50). Also, the number of NIFTY-PUTs to be bought will vary on the beta of the portfolio so as to completely hedge the positon.
