Vikas obeyed and as the voice of Amitabh Bachchan (AB) filled the room, he heard Parthiv say; “What a brand, what equity.” Vikas sniggered. “I wish he will have the wisdom to drop out of this programme soon,” he said. “Why?” asked Parthiv. “Because it will dilute his equity fast. He was good as a launch pad, but he is not adding value any more. If you replace AB with say, Mohan Kapoor, do you think the viewership will drop? No! People are watching the crores, not AB. What is he doing on this programme?” “He is there to lend status, grandeur, to symbolize big events,” said Parthiv. “It’s amazing what hold he has even on a programme like this.” “Parthiv, if a sandwich spread were to be named Dalda, people would buy it. Maybe twice. But it won’t ring true. I don’t have the marketing vocabulary to express this, but Dalda does not stand for what a sandwhich spread delivers. Dalda is about a mass feeling, about everyday situation. Just because it has memorable strengths, attributes that are marketable, it does not mean you simply pick it up and juxtapose it in any category which does not enhance or use its core values.” Parthiv mused. “That was what led to the deadline of brand AB,” he said. Brand AB was a favourite with Parthiv and he quoted from it during brand presentations. Watching the brand all these years had even led to a certain closeness, an...

...Anti Lock Braking System: How It Works? As I said in the last article, Anti Lock Braking System - Use of Abs in Cars, that in case of emergency, applying and releasing brakes continuously will reduce the stopping distance by a considerable margin as well as prevent the wheels from locking so you can steer the vehicle away from the object, but, the fact is, whatever I said, sounds so easy to do but so tough to actually perform. Think honestly, how many of you actually remember performing this in such a panic condition? Actually, no one and apart from this, even if you remember to do so, how fast actually you can perform the act of pressing and releasing of brakes? Not much, at least less than the required speed of doing so. Here comes ABS in picture. Whatever action of pressing and releasing the brakes is concerned, it does it with accuracy and required speed without failure. It presses and releases the brakes almost 20 times a second, stopping the vehicle in a shorter time and distance. But how? How it knows that it has to do this? How it knows that the wheel has locked up? What is that which applies and releases brakes continuously when actually it’s only you who pressed the brake pedal? I will tell it all. Source: http://home.iitk.ac.in nti lock braking system is made up of a central (ECU) Electronic Control Unit and four wheel speed sensors connected to each wheel of vehicle and two hydraulic valves located in the brake hydraulics. The electronic control unit monitors...

...Obvious Bias of Philippine Mainstream Media http://theparadoxicleyline.blogspot.com/2011/02/obvious-bias-of-philippine-mainstream.html By: Ishmael Fischer Ahab | ABS-CBN, consolidated RH Bill, Filipinos Unite for Life, GMA, media bias, Observations, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, Pro-Life Rally, RH Bill | My trust in the Philippine mainstream media dropped further when media entities obviously showed their bias when they totally ignored the pro-life and anti-Reproductive Health (RH) Bill rally staged by various organizations at the PICC in Manila last Sunday. Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, GMA Network, ABS-CBN and TV 5 intentionally ignored the anti-RH rally of 20,000 people or so. What is more irritating is that these media entities gave column space and air time to a pro-RH rally staged in front of the Philippine Congress. This rally was held by a certain party list and just attended by 50 people or so. The bias is very obvious. Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, GMA Network, ABS-CBN and TV 5 can't give time and space for a rally held by thousands of people coming from various organizations, yet chose to entertain the rally of few people coming from one organization. With this, I have only one conclusion. Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, GMA Network, ABS-CBN and TV 5 are untrustworthy media entities. They are biased and submit themselves to propaganda. They don't fairly air both sides of the issue, especially the issue...

...willing to do anything to replace an incumbent Anheuser-Busch (AB) distributor. The only counter balance to this is that since AB has such large market share, the AB distributors are very large with great local economies of scale compared to the average distributor. In addition, they will most likely have better relationships with the various retailers in the local market. Overall, AB has the most leverage in the relationship since it is more likely that they can find a suitable alternative for distribution compared to the distributor finding anything close to AB as a manufacturer. Buyer Volume: The implications for this element are very similar to buyer concentration. AB typically looks to develop an exclusive arrangement with their distributors. As a result, the volumes with each distributor (buyer) are very large which gives them some leverage. Once again, since there are so many distributors in the marketplace, AB has the greater leverage in the relationship. Switching Costs: The switching costs are prohibitive for the distributors. Since AB has approximately 50% market share, moving to a competitor would result in financial devastation. In addition, over the past several years, AB has developed exclusive relationships that significantly reward and/or penalize the distributors for serving any of their competitors. Buyer Information: Distributors have significant access to information about the Brewers, including AB. They belong to associations, share information that is not...

...United States (Zinczenko, 2006). This is rather extreme, but there are ways to reduce these numbers. Two popular ways are; The Alli Diet which is a fad diet, and The Abs Diet, that is a diet and exercise program. According to Zinczenko (2006), Studies have shown that 80 percent of fad diets fail, and the weight will be gained back right after the diet has ended. The Alli Diet is a dietary supplement that is taken three times a day, 30 minutes before a meal that follows a strict diet. The Abs Diet is an exercise program where there are different options for everyone- whether it is at the gym or at home, with or without equipment. The Alli Diet may be what’s in style, but when considering the physical effects, nutritional value, and health benefits, The Abs Diet is healthier as a whole. The effects of both The Alli Diet and The Abs Diet can be physically life changing. The Alli pill is designed to be taken with a reduced- calorie, low-fat meal containing 15-30 percent fat depending on each phase and stops the body from absorbing about 25% of the fats that is consumed. The Alli Diet is meant for short-term use only, most people start to regain weight when the pill is stopped and is not meant to have a long term effect. On the other hand, The Abs Diet is a more of a change in life style rather than a diet. The Abs Diet is designed to grow with the body as it starts to adapt to each work-out. Zinczenko (2006) stated “Over time, we begin to lose the benefits of even the best...

...There is so much importance on clothing that, at times, it can be a very stressful and intimidating when trying to fit in. If a person doesn’t have the name brands that everyone else has, then that person might be judged by those that do. The pressure of fitting in oftentimes drowns out the purpose of school. School is meant for learning and preparing young people for the rest of their life. If all of the kids’ attention is on what they are wearing, they may never be primed for becoming successful in life. Studies even show that schools with uniforms have higher test scores; those better test results are most likely due to the lack of the distraction of clothing. If nobody is worrying about what they are wearing or if they are fitting in properly based on their clothing, then school life becomes much more...

I'm 33 now and still addicted to the way living a healthy and fit lifestyle makes me feel energetic, confident, strong, and youthful on a daily basis.
