...“I’m sorry.” “It’s okay.” “Midoriya.” “Yes?” He cleared out his throat. “If you want to, with our last day of break, or whenever you have free time, we can hang out and exercise together.” “Exercise?” Midoriya asked. A spark. “Before I go running, I do a type of yoga I modified to get the best results for my quirk. I do a lot of stretching and breathing exercises. It’s really good for the heart, and if you’re worried about your hands, we can work on them together.” “Really?” Midoriya asked. “What time’s good for you?” Backing out of the call, Shōto scrambled to find his calendar and opened up to the right day. “My sister wanted to visit the shopping district tomorrow, but we can exercise tomorrow morning if you want. You shouldn’t work your arms that much—” “I’d love to get out of my room.” “A-Alright,” Shōto said. “I have a spot I like to go to that’s not far from where I live. You live close by, right?” “Yeah. I’ll text you my address.” “And I’ll come pick you up,” Shōto finalized, and after saying their goodbyes, they hung up. Shōto held his phone close to his chest. He didn’t know when it started, but after the call, he was breathing heavily, as if he’d already finished his workout. His legs shook underneath his covers. His tongue couldn’t find a calmy place to sit in his mouth. His phone brightened with Midoriya’s address. He lived closer than expected. ——— Shōto kept silent as he crossed his house. His sister had the day off from teaching and would probably be snoozing...

...Condensed Marketing Plan ------------------------------------------------- #1 We have decided to take the topics and other key components of the marketing principles and framework and relate them to Hot Yoga, the topic of our condensed marketing plan. We believe that a Hot Yoga studio would be a very simple, popular and profitable business in a college town such as Oxford, Ohio. What is Hot Yoga? Bikram Yoga, also known as Hot Yoga, is a new trend reaching many health and wellness driven people all over the country. Hot Yoga consists of performing yoga in a studio or gym heated to roughly 100-105 degrees along with a humidity of 40%. As entrepreneurs who know our target market, we are extremely tuned into our buyers’ behavior. Going to Miami, people are extremely “trendy”. Once a trend hits Miami EVERYONE wants or does what they can to join that trend. This can be seen at Miami with brands such as Apple, Lulu Lemon, Patagonia, Ray Bans, jerseys, and Jeep. I wouldn’t expect the increasing trendy activity of hot yoga to be any different. There's a multitude of components that create such a demand for Hot Yoga. In a town like Oxford, the "drive" or emotional trigger for consumers to demand a service such as Hot Yoga would mainly be due to the appeal of health and wellness to college students. With a lack of statistical evidence, it's hard to disagree with the statement that Miami students have grown a stronger awareness of health and fitness (disregarding the night...

...As we know, the branding business models developed by Bikram Choudhury, and Tara Stiles are both successful. All of them have big group of follower. However, I think the “Hot Yoga”, which Bikram developed, is more sustainable and will be more popular than the Tara’s “free style” Yoga because of several reasons. Yoga is a religious exercise. It started to enter American in the mid-19th century. But, America is a predominantly Christian country. How can an activity with different religion be successful? For example, the Yoga style developed by Bikram has been widely accepted by Americans and the people all over the world now. As far as I am concerned, the reason why his Yoga style is successful is not because of the religion, but for its health properties, and its special exercise mode. People pay a lot more attention to the health recently. People try to find ways to keep their body healthy and strong to live in this competitive and stressful society. A lot of people hope to control their weigh especially women. Bikram’sYoga is precisely what they are looking for. Bikram stated that people can stretch their body easier and deeper in a hot circumstance. Also, in the temperature between 100 and 105 people can sweat more, which is a good way to consume more fat and cholesterol. While, Tara’s yoga style could not provide people such an efficient way to lose weight. This is the reason why Bikram’s branding strategy is more successful and can get more customers. Even though...

...its limits in heat of more than 110 degrees. This scene doesn’t take place on a football field, but in a heated Bikram yoga studio where many athletes and everyday people are going to cure and prevent aches and pains. Yoga, as a way to achieve higher self-awareness, was around as early as 200 B.C. in India and has been gradually growing in popularity in the western world over the past four decades. Traditional styles of yoga, including Hatha yoga, which consists of thousands of poses, have long been studied as an effective form of complimentary or alternative medicine (CAM). The biggest yoga boom has occurred over the past decade according to statistics from the International Association of Yoga Therapists. The Association estimates there were 20 million Americans practicing some form of yoga in 2002 compared to 6 million in 1994. Increased awareness of yoga as a healing method along with high-profile celebrity endorsements have contributed to the growing numbers of yoga users recently. Madonna and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are some famous yogis that have been students of Bikram Choudhury, who founded his own style of hot yoga in India. Dina Lancour, a Hatha yoga instructor from Agawam, Massachusetts, took a Bikram yoga class under Choudhury. “It reminded me of Indian sweat tents,” Lancour said. “It becomes very meditative and deep.” Proponents of Bikram yoga and medical specialists have noted the health benefits of hot yoga. Other yoga practitioners and teachers...

...the system. The hospital administrators need to monitor the employee’s direct collation to the data they are inputting into the system is in fact correct. Possibly the lack of communication resulting from the hospital administrators is an acknowledgement that the employees know of the importance of the correct data input, when in fact they are not aware of the importance and how much the organization is reliant on the information for funding and reporting. One of the biggest issues facing employee and employer relationships is the lack of communication. According to Joseph (2013), “failure to communicate effectively often leads to conflict, which can harm an organization.” If the problem is not correct by the hospital administrators, Vijay Singh may need to go the individual hospitals and have meetings directly with the individuals inputting the information. This is a means of stressing the importance and also for him to know who exactly maybe causing this issue. The information I would have to need to analyze for the organization would be the reports themselves. What information specifically is being entered incorrectly? Possibly the issue is stemming from a computer glitch in the system. The system could be missing an area where it needs to be filled in or there is a need for an update to the system...

...New Delhi: After battling stiff opposition, government Friday allowed 51 percent foreign investment in multi-brand retail but left it to the states to permit global retailers open stores. It has also tweaked the sourcing norms for FDI exceeding 50 percent in single brand retail, requiring foreign firms, which want a relaxation of the 30 percent procurement norms, to set up manufacturing facilities in the country. After considering various aspects and discussions with various stakeholders and states, it has been decided to go ahead with the decision to allow 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma told reporters after the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "The response has been a mixed one but the UPA had tried to evolve a consensus," he said. The cabinet had in November last year approved 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail but had to put it on hold due to opposition from political parties, including UPA ally Trinamool Congress. Sharma also reiterated that foreign retailers planning to enter the multi-brand segment would have to invest a minimum of USD 100 million with 50 percent of it in rural areas.

...Any company to check the progress depends on the financial analysis. So, I chose Finance for internship in Barclays. Barclays is a Universal company with annual revenues of more than GDP of India, which only few banks could achieve. It has its operations in more than 50 countries and has its presence in almost every division in finance sector. Barclays launched the first credit card in the UK, Barclaycard, in 1966. On 27 June 1967, Barclays deployed the world's first cash machine, in Enfield.[12][13] The British actor Reg Varney was the first one to use the machine. Barclays is the sponsor of the Premier League.Barclays is a major sponsor of professional golf tournaments worldwide, the Barclays Scottish Open on the PGA European Tour at Loch Lomond since 2002, the Barclays Classic on the PGA Tour from 2005–2006, which became The Barclays in 2007, the first of four playoff tournaments for the FedEx Cup, and since 2006 Barclays has been title sponsor to the Singapore Open, the richest national open in Asia, and since 2009 has been co-sanctioned with the European Tour.

India and China: Prospects and Challenges Mehraj Uddin Gojree Department of Political Science, Aligarh Muslim University, U.P., INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in Received 16th July 2013, revised 27th July 2013, accepted 12th August 2013 Abstract This paper seeks to assess the future prospects and challenges of the relationship between the two rising giants of Asia namely China and India. As they both are rising as great powers, their mutual relationship will have a significant impact not only on Asia, but on the whole world. At present, the nature of their relationship is something mixed i.e., growing cooperation in the field of trade and commerce along with distrust and mutual suspicions in the strategic fields whether political or geographical. For these apparent factors, the future relationship between India and China can be characterised by the cooperation in those fields whether mutual, regional or international which may be beneficial for the peaceful rise of both these states and confrontation, competition, and even hostility in some other areas where the respective interests of both the giants clash with each other, for example, the border issue, relationship with other countries particularly US and Pakistan, their encirclement policies, competition for energy resources, nuclear arms race...

...Kanthapuara as Gandhian Epic Name: Joshi Deepti M Roll no: 05 Paper: Indian Writing in English Topic: Kanthapura as Gandhian Epic Submitted to: Heenaba Zala Department of English M.K.University, Bhavnagar Kanthapura as Gandhian Epic Introduction: “Gandhi was like a powerful current of fresh air……Like a beam of light that pierced the darkness and removed the scales from our eyes; like a whirlwind that upset many things, but most of all the working of people’s minds” Mahatma Gandhi during freedom struggle time wielded a great influence on the Indian masses. And his struggle for freedom introduced some new trends in Anglo-Indian fiction, and some great writers of all the Indian language produced some masterpiece in novel, poetry, drama and other forms of creative writing. Raja Rao was most celebrated novelist of India in 1930s and 1940s. He had depicted his novels through the usage of Gandhian theme. Kanthapura is best example of how Gandhian ideologies influenced in Indian writing in English. An Epic is a long narrative poem telling of heroic acts, the birth and death of a hero or of nation’s etc.Kanthapura is also an epic. Kanthapura is a tell of the impact that Gandhi had on the nation. He converted the whole nation into an army of freedom fighters. Gandhi was no less than the hero of an epic. The freedom struggle of India was an epic struggle. Thousands of people sacrificed their lives...

...India’s 12th Five Year Plan to Focus on ‘Inclusive Growth’ Apr. 25 – As India’s government prepares to submit its approach paper for its 12th five-year plan (a plan which covers years 2012 to 2017), the Planning Commission’s focus on instilling “inclusive growth” is making headway. The plan is expected to be one that encourages the development of India’s agriculture, education, health and social welfare through government spending. It is also expected to create employment through developing India’s manufacturing sector and move the nation higher up the value chain. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, however, warned that maintaining fiscal discipline is important as well. The commission will likely strive to enact policies that will achieve somewhere around a 10 percent growth rate in factories and a 4 percent growth rate in farm produce, though Prime Minister Singh has asked the plan to set the nation’s growth rate firmly at 9 percent to 9.5 percent. Come May, a view into the implementation of these goals should be apparent. A question that India’s government will have to grapple with, much like that of any emerging market, is whether to continue to focus on GDP growth in the face of soaring food prices and economy-wide inflation. An important aspect of generating “inclusive growth” is shifting the target of government aid to rural areas. Typically, large projects such as power generation, roads whereby freight can travel, and airports receive the lion’s share of government...

...In this quarter’s update, we have incorporated the latest subscriber data from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) and Bangladeshi mobile operators, and made several adjustments to our forecast scenarios. We have also extended our forecast period to 2016. At the time of writing, the BTRC and several mobile operators have yet to release the latest subscriber data pertaining to the quarter ended September 2011. We estimate that there were about 86.555mn mobile subscribers in Bangladesh at the end of September 2011, representing a net addition of 4.728mn from the previous quarter. Grameenphone was the only operator to have announced its September 2011 results. The operator’s subscriber base increased to 35.245mn from 33.824mn in June 2011, while its blended ARPU fell to BDT257 from BDT270 over the same period. We believe that the Bangladeshi mobile industry is on track to meet our end-2011 target of 90.511mn. In our newly extended forecast, we expect 158.940mn subscribers in the country at the end of 2016, with a penetration rate of 99.2%. While we have largely retained our expectations for Bangladesh’s fixed-line industry, we have adjusted our forecasts for the country’s internet and broadband sectors in light of new data from the ITU. We forecast 9.718mn internet users and 4.729 broadband (fixed and mobile) subscribers in Bangladesh at the end of 2016. In the quarter ended September 2011, we saw...

...INDIA AND YOUNGISTAAN I remember I read an article somewhere named ‘Conversation With The Mahatma’. Although I can’t recall the name of the magazine or the writer, I clearly remember what it was all about. It had made quite an impact on me and I remember writing a speech based on that article for my school assembly. The article was rather a simple one conveying the message that today’s youth is capable of doing anything they want and carry the nation to the pinnacle of success. We don’t have to be Gandhi or Bhagat Singh for that. What we need is passion and determination, courage and the will to do good to others since now its not the British we have to fight but poverty, illiteracy, discrimination, terrorism and the like. The article inspired me a lot and I thought that I will change the future of my country and help India shine in every possible arena. I firmly believed that my friends will too do so as we all are full of passion to do something good for our country. But that was 6 years back. Now I’m 19 and I know that its not as easy as the author of that article made it to be. I’m sure everyone will agree, right? So now even I have joined the club like millions of other Indians where we only question-“Why is that the dream of creating a free India still remains unfulfilled? Why does freedom for many still not include socio-economic freedom? Why this, why that? Why? We may come up with many complicated reasons. However, the answer is quite simple. Surprised? Don’t...
