HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN THIS SOCIETY

For the final edition of this blog series, I will talk about perhaps the most common aspect of the topic- our dear society. It’s not like none of us knows what goes on in the society, what happens behind the doors of houses, what happens in the gossip of people and what is said in the pointless taunts and remarks passed as a part of routine. Therefore, I will not waste words trying to explain what is wrong, neither will I mention how to right it. I will simply mention the efforts that are already underway because luckily once again, this is one of the aspects that has had some light shed on to it in recent years. Every other week we see stories, posts and campaigns on social media. A new harassment case, rape cases, and murder cases against women and trust me when I say that it’s the social media that brings all of these cases into light and tries to ensure justice for the victims. Our paper and TV media is controlled, they are forced to deliver a narrative in order to delude the publi...

HOW TO USE A USB FLASH DRIVE AS RAM IN WINDOWS


Your RAM is a major contributor when we talk about computer performance. If you have low RAM depending on your daily usage/requirements, it will definitely slow down the overall responsiveness of your PC. We have an easy fix for your problem if you are running Windows 7 or above on your PC with the help of virtual memory. In short, you can expand the amount of RAM available on your computer by using a USB drive as virtual RAM. It is worth mentioning that this method is not as good as the real deal since USB storage is obviously slower than actual RAM and it is not going to be of much help to you if you already have the recommended amount of physical RAM as per the requirements of your daily usage or your computer specifications. This method should be seen as a temporary solution for computers with low RAM but otherwise adequate specs looking for some extra performance boost for the time being.

Let's move on to the How to part:


Formatting your USB drive

In order to use your USB drive as additional RAM, it has to empty and formatted in NTFS format. If you have any important files on it, you must copy them onto your hard drive or another storage device. The recommended size is 32 GBs but you can use one with a lower capacity as well without any problems.

  • Connect your USB drive to your computer.
  • Open File explorer from your task bar or through the shortcut keys, Win + E.
  • On the left hand side panel you will see "This PC', click on it.
  • Now right click on your USB device followed by "Format" to begin formatting.
  • When the format window pops up, click on "File system" and select "NTFS" from the drop-down list.
  • Click on "Start" to begin the formatting process.
  • The formatting will take some time to complete depending upon your computer and the capacity of your USB drive.
Enabling ReadyBoost to increase your RAM size

  • Navigate to "This PC" once again to view all of your drives.
  • Right click on your now formatted USB drive and click on "Properties".
  • When the Properties window appears, go to the "ReadyBoost" tab and select the option "Use this device".
  • Adjust the slider that appears under Use this device option to your desired capacity, it is recommended that you slide it all the way to the right side to allow the full capacity of your USB drive to be used.
  • Now click on "Apply" followed by "OK" on the bottom of the window.
That is all! You have successfully converted your USB drive into virtual RAM for your computer. You should observe a significant boost in system performance after this.

Important: Make sure that you do not unplug your USB drive before you disable the ReadyBoost settings first.

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN AT WORKPLACE

I recently came across a government post on Facebook, under which there was a person who made a certain remark in the comments. The guy so boldly suggested that women should not be allowed to give the CSS exam since their area of expertise lies in the cleaning of houses and cooking of food and not in the running of the country. He added, “Their eligibility to take the exam steals the opportunity from qualified individuals like myself and puts it into their inexperienced hands”. I laughed it off since it was clear that this person was crying over his own incompetence and decided to throw the blame over the women. The sad part of this little event, however, was that there were lines of other sick likeminded men in the comments who were praising the guy for passing this statement. For a moment now, I want you to think of this scenario in a different way. The offender and the ones who praised him poured their minds out, but this time the women they targeted were behind the screen of a phon...

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN A HOUSEHOLD

It’s the year 2021 and all aspects of life have significantly progressed over time. The one thing that doesn’t seem to have even moved is the mentality of most of our men; men who believe we reside in an entirely safe state with no societal imperfections. I, for one, believe that not only is our nation flawed beyond description, but is also an unsafe place for our women. Anyone who is not deluded will believe that our mothers, sisters and female acquaintances cannot be trusted at the hands of this society. “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women…” (Surah An-Nisa: 34) And yet all our so-called “Men of Religion” are on top of the list of people who believe in male dominance and those who claim the only way forward is a patriarchal society that oppresses women (or keeps them in their rightful place, as the deluded so proudly claim). Every single day we witness new cases of domestic violence against women, investigate and most of the time it turns out the offender is a male with a...
