...carriers in trouble, for the second time in three years has raised a lot of eyebrows. The recent rescheduling/cancellation of SpiceJet flights have left irate passengers stranded, as the air fares of other airlines have shot up to 3 times. The company is facing a serious financial crunch of Rs 2000 crores to pay its debtors and meet the salary bill. Everything in this industry seems to be a fixed cost! There is also news about DGCA withdrawing slots for flying. The cyclic effect of operating cash shortage can be an indication of turmoil in the aviation industry. Pilots sense trouble and bail out to the competitors, the left over tend to fly extra hours which makes the travelers’ fearful of pilot fatigue. It’s all the money game. Only the ‘moolah’ gets you the fuel which is used to fly the aircraft and therefore the question arises whether to have all the pilots in the cockpit or the fuel to run the carrier. The same problem arises when it comes to fees related to takeoff and landing and other fixed expenses. The next major concern is the other employees…the engineers, flight attendants and the ground staff. They need to be paid too. Rs. 2000 crores is nowhere in sight though the Government has just used its goodwill to get 1 sHRishti Rs. 600 crores to keep the wings in the air and there is some news of the promoters willing to part their shares to other investors. You are the CHRO of the airlines and the Chief Operating Officer has asked you to work something out with...

...Women in wrestling have never really been taken seriously. In the 1950's women like Billy Kay, Fabulous Moolah, and May Young were some of the only women in the wrestling business. They are competed as the men did and were treated with respect. When Vince McMahon Jr. took the wrestling world by storm he put the the idea in the heads of wrestling fans that women are not as good as the men. McMahon never booked the women seriously. Fabulous was womens champion for eight years, not becuase she was just that good, because she was, but because Vince didn't bother with the womens division for eight years. During the attitude era womens wrestling went completely out the drain. Vince brought in super models instead of women wrestlers. He put these women in bra and...

I have been a fan of wrestling in Rl since the days of the late great dusty Rhodes, Rick Flare and the Four Horseman, and the late great Rowdy Roddy Piper. I can remember being especially intrigued with the females of wrestling. I enjoyed The Fabulous Moolah dominate prominent reign of the women championship in what is now known as The WWE for 30 years as well as the evolution of the female present in wrestling from Miss Elizabeth to the Bella twins. Once I found out there was a group of ladies in SL that brought the strength of wrestling to the grid, I was eager to dive off the top rope right into their world and find out as much information as I could.

...drawbacks is when it comes to game selection. This is an online casino that really goes to great lengths to give casino fans the action that they crave. The foundations of the game selection here is made up of table-based classics, with the likes of Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, Cyberstud Poker, Red Dog, Roulette, Blackjack, and Sic Bo delivering endless hours of entertainment. Video poker has also found a home with variants such as Aces & Eights, Louisiana Bonus, Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, All Aces, Double Bonus, and Joker Poker in the mix.

With games like Mega Moolah Isis, Tomb Raider II, The Twisted Circus, The Dark Knight, Hellboy, Thunderstruck II, and Avalon stealing the show, if you like your action on the reels, Hippodrome Casino has you covered. Putting it simply, the game selection at Hippodrome Casino really is of a high standard, to the point where it can rival any of the industry’s most established names (like LeoVegas, Mr Green, and 888 Casino) on this front. When it comes to navigation, what you see is what you get at Hippodrome Casino, as every page of the site is loaded with luxurious style. This means that the whole site is graphically heavy, which also means that – unsurprisingly - navigation is clunky in places. That being said, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding the games...

...A popular chart going around shows that since 2001, college textbooks have increased in price more than 100% while recreational books have fallen in price by a little more than 1%. The consumer price index, meanwhile, has only increased about 30%. Have writing, printing, and supplying higher-education materials increased in cost so much that producers are just trying to pass on the expenses? Likely not. The fact is that consumers of college textbooks typically don't have a choice, making the demand inelastic and allowing publishers to charge prices well above what the consumer may value. While fantastic for publishers' margins, is this bubbly business sustainable? Let's analyze it. The rotating roster of publishers McGraw-Hill Education, now owned by Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL ) , Pearson (NYSE: PSO ) , and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt make up the three largest educational publishers. The previous owner of McGraw-Hill Education, McGraw Hill Financial (NYSE:MHFI ) , completed the sale of its textbook segment in March for $2.4 billion in cash, which it is using for share buybacks. Why did McGraw Hill want to divest from its education segment? The company's press release positions the slimmer group as "a high-growth, high-margin benchmarks, content and analytics company." And since completing the sale in March, McGraw Hill's stock has outperformed the S&P 500 by 14%. But was the segment that big of a drag? Not too much. In 2011, its education business brought in 37% of its...

...otherwise. The case takes into consideration the popularity, inherent qualities and limitations, pricing, challenges and scope of improvement of mobile advertising with respect to two biggest contributors to this segment i.e. Google and Facebook. So what exactly is the scenario? Let’s find out. INTRODUCTION Advertisers in the online realm are spoilt for choice. They have the option of utilizing large sites or a plethora of specialized websites, both large and small, to reach consumers with varied interests. However, few plans can be complete without including the big daddies viz. Google or Facebook - or both - because their sheer dominance on the web. In India, their combined estimate comes out to two-thirds of the total advertising moolah. In 2012, Google’s earnings were almost $44 billion from advertising worldwide as compared to marginally over $5 billion for Facebook. The latter is significantly smaller but plays a special role in India, whose active Facebook users are less than only that in United States. In Google's case, it drew out revenue from two avenues - 70 per cent of its revenue came from ads on its own sites while the rest was generated from advertising on network member sites, these are websites which run contextual Google ads under a publisher program called AdSense. On the other hand, Wall Street...

It is not intended to be a coherent historical survey of this field, nor can it claim to be a balanced selection from theorists of current influence and future pathways. For this reason it seems useful here to clarify the lines of thought developed in the contents of this proposal, so that the reader can appreciate the context in which we must put our strategies and sincere efforts. An actual situation will be explored and real life experiences will be taken in, as well as problems, which might be thought more intrinsic to formulation of aims, content, methods (and so on) of a particular primary school education system. In the proposal I wish to create the context, take it through the framework of reasoning the context, bringing out relevance and defining the objective and the way to meet...

...------------------------------------------------- Topic: Spot fixing in cricket matches. 1. Introduction Spot fixing in sports is the practice of fixing a specific segment within a match. It usually involves a player agreeing, prior to the game that he will perform in a particular way. In cricket this might involve a batsman agreeing to only get a certain number of runs, or a bowler bowling a consecutive number of wide balls in a particular over, etc. Spot fixing stands in contrast to match fixing which refers to the practice of fixing the result of an entire match rather than the performance of one or more individual players within it. By its very nature then, spot fixing is a more discreet manipulation of a game, making it much more difficult to detect than match fixing. Spot fixing in cricket has rapidly increased for the last few years. It’s becoming impossible to detect as well. “Spot-fixing, the manipulation of individual incidents within a match which may not affect the result, is a more insidious crime and one which can be impossible to detect.” (Mehaffey,2012). The players are becoming addicted to it as it is less risky and also it will help them to earn more money within a short period of time. Spot fixing is becoming a great threat. Betting houses and gamblers are aware of it and they are putting more money on cricket. It’s not the only concern for cricket but also the money that has been earned through betting are used to illegal activities such as buying...
