If you call yourself a germaphobe, you're pregnant, traveling with an infant, or you have a compromised immune system, airline travel might just be your worst nightmare. After months of preparing, packing, and saving, the last thing you need is to catch a cold (or something worse) right at the beginning of your vacation.
While you might not be able to avoid being trapped in a small aluminum tube with a bunch of strangers, there are a lot of things you can control to prevent your exposure to bacteria and viruses. Today we're going to go through some of the best tips to avoiding germs and staying healthy on vacation. Break out your hand sanitizer because you might be squirming by the end of this.
Drink Up and Stay Hydrated
In what's probably a confirmation of your worst nightmares, the Wall Street Journal found your risk of catching a cold is increased by 20% whenever you fly. Though you'd likely expect your coughing seatmate is the culprit, lessened immunity is actually due to low humidity during the flight. Plane air typically has a humidity level of around 10%. This is so low that your mucociliary system is compromised, leaving you much more vulnerable than you'd be otherwise. Pair that with the increased prevalence of germs in close proximity and a seldom-cleaned aircraft, and it feels like a setup. So, what can you do?
You probably already knew flights can dry you out, but more is at stake than just glowing skin. The best way to keep your mucociliary system functioning and flushing bacteria out of your system is to stay as hydrated as possible and to continually drink water. It's more effective to keep drinking water throughout the flight than to drink a lot at once. If you feel especially vulnerable, nasal mists, face sprays, and hot drinks can do wonders to keep your mucus membranes active and functioning. Something we don't suggest, is drinking coffee or tea on your flight. Airplane water tanks have been documented as a hotbed of bacteria growth, and the water in your coffee or tea generally isn't brought to a high enough temperature to kill any of that bacteria, meaning it's likely to be passed on. (Gross, right?)
Keep Clean to Avoid Germs While Traveling
The dirtiest surfaces on an airplane are tray tables, toilet flush buttons, lavatory door locks, seatbelt buckles, and potentially your hands. There's no shame in wiping down the area around your seat, but make sure you're equally vigilant about keeping your hands clean—they're usually your first contact point with the germs that get you sick.
Airplane bathrooms are infamously germy. E. Coli is commonly found on surfaces, so you'd probably benefit from sanitizing your hands again once you're back at your seat. Hot water and soap are the best, always, but travel-sized hand sanitizer is a great second line of defense (especially when you think about the bacteria in those water tanks).
Stay Healthy Before Your Trip
Unsurprisingly, the best way to be sure you don't get sick while traveling is to be healthy in the first place. In the weeks before you travel, bumping up your personal health routine can make a positive impact on your travel experience. Exercise, taking vitamins, drinking plenty of water, and eating a variety of healthful foods are all ways to improve your immunity so you're not left vulnerable in a tight situation.
Avoid Foreign Substances on International Flights
International flights are where you should focus most of your germ-fighting diligence. You're much more likely to come into contact with a virus or bacteria that your system isn't used to on an international flight than on a domestic flight. Be extra conscious when using the airplane bathroom (touch as few surfaces as possible), eating in-flight meals (wash your hands), and handling things like seatbelts and inflight entertainment.
Avoid Airborne Bacteria
There's a sliding scale of general prevention to fanatic germ avoidance at all times, but perhaps no more than when it comes to avoiding airborne bacteria. Airplane air is much cleaner than it used to be thanks to improved filtration systems, but there are still a few things you can do to avoid anything lingering. If you turn on your overhead air vent, make sure you point it toward your lap, not toward your face where bacteria could blow into your nose and mouth. But honestly, it's better to skip it because air vents have one of the highest bacterial contents of all the surfaces in the plane.
If you're able to choose, pick a seat toward the front of the aircraft where there's improved air circulation. Of course, a first-class seat will also give you more breathing room away from your fellow passengers, dialing back the risk of catching something from them. A face mask can also dramatically reduce your risk of infection or reduce your risk of transmitting an illness if you're already sick.
Stay Vigilant
You've arrived at your destination, but that doesn't mean you're out of the woods where germs are concerned. You're likely to be exposed to different kinds of germs, different activity levels, and possibly less sleep than in your ordinary life, so make sure you're vigilant about washing your hands and staying hydrated throughout your trip.
If you're traveling abroad, be conscious of tap water and food consumption. Even if the locals are able to drink tap water without issue, you might need to avoid it because you haven't built an immunity to the specific germs in the water system. The same goes for fresh fruits and salads.
Be sure to take any specific precautions for the area you're traveling to. Sunscreen, vaccines, bug spray or nets, and medications can make a huge difference. If in doubt, consider booking an appointment with a travel health professional to advise you on any specific precautions you should take.
Stay in a Hotel You Can Trust
When it comes to avoiding lurking germs, it helps to stay in a hotel you can trust. You want a hotel that you know thoroughly cleans their rooms and puts policies in place to ensure each guest's health and safety. This is why we're proud to partner with the world's largest hotel chains that put customer service before all else.

But if you marked a conflict within this week on your audition form, it has been noted.
If you have any questions about the casting, the rehearsal schedule, or if you would like feedback on your audition, please contact Sam Weisberg. Note, however, that if you had more than a few days of absences on your conflict sheet, and didn't get cast, that is probably the reason, as the summer show really does need "all hands on deck" for as much of the entire time as possible.

Li'l Abner is a madcap comedy with a wild, energetic score that follows the hick residents of Dogpatch, U.S.A., as they try to save their town from nuclear annihilation. A send-up of American politics, hillbilly caricatures, and gender roles, Li'l Abner features a zany cast of characters, like Daisy Mae, who's pining after Li'L Abner, Earthquake McGoon, who's pining after her, and the evil business tycoon General Bullmoose, who's pining after all the money in the world. Featuring miracle elixirs, ineffective politicians, and shady deals—alongside classic numbers like "Jubilation T. Cornpone" –Li'l Abner is a ridiculous romp that's perfect for summer fun!

Marisa Murgatroyd is 4'11 and a quarter – she's called the shortest woman in marketing — but that doesn't stop her from having huge ideas.
When she started, she created 6 online courses with decent sales and had the completely demoralizing experience of watching the majority of her students struggle, give up and fail. She felt deeply conflicted about marketing and selling products that didn't consistently deliver real transformation. That is, until she realized she wasn't alone. She discovered that up to 97% of people who buy information-based products don't complete those products and get results.
When she talked to her peers about it, they were having the same experience. But the consensus was that "some people just aren't meant to succeed." She watched that happening with her students for a long time, but couldn't get herself to believe that. She started studying the app and game industries that were succeeding every day in captivating human attention.
Things really hit home in the summer of 2016. She and her husband left for Italy in June. While they were away, they starting hearing about the game Pokemon Go, which was released in July. They started seeing these news report of people – grown adults – literally stopping their cars in the middle of the street without even bothering to park and dashing out just to catch these little virtual Pokemon creatures on their cell phones. Say what? This game was causing stampedes of people running through the streets with their phones.
In the 5 weeks they were away, this game that hadn't even existed when they left had become a global phenomenon. A viral phenomenon that was spreading like wildfire, the game today still has over 800 million downloads, with 147 million monthly active users. Two years later, 18% of those people are still playing the game. That's a pretty high stick rate. That showed her the true possibility of the framework she happened to be developing at the time – a revolutionary new framework to bring the secrets of the bestselling apps and games to fellow experts and entrepreneurs.
Marisa calls this framework the Experience Formula and this new class of product Experience Products. Experience Products are a totally new way of creating and marketing products that she's developed using the secrets of the bestselling games and apps to get your customers hooked on taking massive action, getting results, and ultimately buying from you over and over again. An Experience Product can be a course, training, product, service or even 1:1 coaching or consulting program in any industry that integrates the 10 critical elements of the Experience Formula. Experience Products combine gamification, adult learning psychology and innovative curriculum design to create an engaging experience that works with the brain's natural chemistry of motivation to get students, customers and clients hooked – in a good way – on changing their lives through you.
Marisa has helped over 1,000 students and colleagues create experience products in industry after industry, on every type and kind of product. Her students have created Experience Products® and Services in dozens of markets, such as Reiki, Publishing, all kinds of Coaching and Consulting, Education, Careers, Online, Local & Traditional Marketing, Health & Wellness, Personal Productivity, Relationships, Spirituality, Sex, Art, Design, Finance and Non-Profits, generating tens of thousands of customers and millions of dollars in sales.
She's the "go to" brand builder for industry luminaries and heavyweights such as Justin Livingston, Callan Rush, Danny Iny, Alexis Neely and Susan Peirce Thompson. Dozens of industry leaders come to learn this methodology as well – people like John Assaraf, Bill Baren, Alex Mandossian, Jesse & Sharla, Ocean Robbins, Vrinda Normand, Josh Turner and Steve Olsher. She's been asked to share this expertise at Mindvalley's Momentum Mastermind, Jeff Walker's LaunchCon, Todd Brown's MFA Live event, and a JV Summit for peers.
Tune in to hear Marisa chat with Steve, Mary, and Richard about her vision: a world in which there is no separation between what people want to do and what they have to do – a world in which everyone can win – and have a whole lot of fun while they do it!

Roses have always inspired fascination, an ability to stir passions and to mystically lure and conquer the beholder of their sublime beauty and fragrance.
Roses were already considered ancient when in Eresos (Hometown of THETA Foods), in 270 B.C., the '˜Father of Botany' Theophrastus wrote for the very first time about the one-hundred petal roses in his masterpiece 'The Plants'. Then came Honey with Rose Petals. Ancient Greek Myths are the first to speak of its existence.
Spoil yourself with the benefits of this 100% pure honey with rose scent. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. When it's paired with pure honey derived of Greek wildflowers, however, it's something far more special. This 130g container of rose-infused honey is the purest distillation of sensuality and unbridled hedonism.
Type: 100% Pure, Wildflowers with Rose Petals Honey
Use on/with: Such a divine exquisite quality honey should be consumed only straight in small portions, in order to enjoy the flavor of roses and their petals.
Color: Rose amber
Taste: Smooth sweetness with the strong feeling of roses.
Production: Lab Tested. Produced under ISO 22000 standard. Extracted using a rare technique in order to maintain the aromas of fresh rare red roses.
Packaging: This exquisite honey with edible rose petals is packaged in a collectors' item square glass honey pot made of Italian high quality glass. Affixed to this designer jar is a gold plated label with a laser engraving of the company's name: THETA. The jar comes in a luxury handmade matte red gift box.
All pure unpasteurized and unheated honey crystallizes at some point as a natural phenomenon. In order to decrystalize, refer to certain ways as seen on the internet using a water heating method. Avoid warming the water above 37 degrees, and also avoid the methods using microwave oven
Tradition and Meraki (Three generations of agricultural knowledge in market)
After successful life overseas with studies and career two brothers, Konstantinos and Dimitrios, returned to their village Eresos, in Lesvos Greece, with the vision to produce superior local food products, using the heritage of three generations back of agricultural knowledge.
Following their father's beekeeping knowledge since 1963, as first step, beehives are positioned on mountain locations of the island, most of close to the sea. With their 'meraki ', THETA Foods Co. delivers 2 years ago, their first in line supreme product: Premium Island Wildflowers with Thyme Honey, with main characteristic its exquisite flavor.
But the company's aim remains high. At the moment, an estate of approximately 90 acres privately owned is planned to become productive too. In this estate, in addition to the 300 olive trees found, about 400 fig trees were planted in 2002 with scope to put into production in 2015, an exceptional product: Superior Fig Nectar Syrup. Limited, rare, unique and divine syrup, loved by gourmet chefs worldwide.
The company operates under HACCP and ISO 22000 (under certification), while applied and expecting BIO certification in 2016.

Issuance of warrants for purchase of shares
Post: #1
Issuance of warrants for purchase of shares
Dear Members,
Is any member have information about the issuance of warrant(for purchase of share capital at some future date at determined price).
If a company wants to issue warrant what would be the requirements of Pakistani Law (with reference) and its accounting treatment in case of listed and unlisted company.
Seniors are requested to share their knowledge.
Post: #2
I am not aware of the possibility of issuance of warrants in Pakistan. On SECP's webpage there is no such guideline, rules or statute. We can only see regulations for issuance of TFCs, Preference Shares and Commercial Paper etc.
Let's see what other members opine.
Commercial paper would be very interesting to see in market as well but problem is that like short term borrowing (it has to be maximum for one year) it has to be repaid in cash and cannot be converted.
The best solution in Pakistan appears to be the issuance of Preference Shares with a conversion option "at the discretion of issuer" i.e. call option. A properly drafted agreement will also render this arrangement to be recorded as part of equity instead of debt under IFRSs so it can also be helpful in strengthening the equity base.
Ask the company management to think on it.
Post: #3
Preference shares may be issued but usually dividend is paid on preference shares which may not be acceptable for the issuing company.
Lets see the response of others.
Post: #4
It will be very hard to raise money without incurring cost of its utilization. Either it is dividend or interest, you cannot avoid it, specially when the conditions of stock market always remain dependent upon foreign players without any genuine growth.
I am interested to know, if somebody can tell about possibility of issuing warrants in Pakistan.
Post: #5
Dear KamranACA,
I agree with you there is no specific law about the issuance of warrants in Pakistan but we can derive the requirements of issing warrants from the provisions of CO1984 and the Rules issued under this ordinance.
Section 90 of the CO1984 provides
"A company limited by shares may have different kinds of share capital and classes therein as provided by its memorandum and articles
Provided that different rights and privileges in relation to the different classes of shares may only be conferred in such manner as may be prescribed."
In the above section, there is room in respect of different classes of share capital. Therefore, warrant may be considered as one class of share capital in which shares will be issued at future date at determined or determinable price.
Section 86 (1) last para states about the further issuance of shares other than right shares;
"Provided that the Federal Government may, on an application made by any public company on the basis of a special resolution passed by it, allow such company to raise its further capital without issue of right shares."
For the above purpose, if provided in the memordum and articles of the the Company, special resolution can be passed in respect of issuance of warrants (not being right shares).
If memorandum does not state about the warrant as class of share capital then same can be altered as provided in the Ordinance before passing special resoulution.
On the basis of special resolution, FG / SECP may allow to make the issue.
Now come to your point about the return / dividend /interest (cost of utilization of finance) which we say in daily life that nothing is free in our life. -)
While issuing warrants, these may be issued at below the market value (determined by the investor by statistical calculations etc.) keeping in view the free reserve limits of premium / discount to be charged on issuance of capital under the issuance of capital Rules 1996.
I think above procedure may be followed and warrants can be issued in Pakistan remaining in the boundries of law. Comments will be welcomed.
You have stated in your earlier post that call/ put Options may be used for this purpose. But I think this deal would be different as options do not not have dilutive effect on EPS because options are traded for the share capital already issued while in case of warrants share capital will be issued in future and this will be dilutive.
think warrants can be issued in Pakistan
Post: #6
I like to refer you to your own quotation of section 90 where you wrote
Section 90 of the CO1984 provides
"A company limited by shares may have different kinds of share capital and classes therein as provided by its memorandum and articles
Provided that different rights and privileges in relation to the different classes of shares may only be conferred in such manner as may be prescribed."
It is vital to have in place "prescribed rules" to determine rights and privileges in relation to the different classes of shares. I wish to inform you that such amendment in section 90 dated 30 June 1999 was aimed at to allow classification of preference shares within the definition of share capital. (if you read the text of section 90 before the said amendment, things will be clarified). Since nothing has been "prescribed" for warrants to determine rights and privilidges, in my view, these cannot be issued unless and until we have a statute to support such issuance. Merely amendment in memorandum/artciles will not serve a purpose.
This also has no linkage with section 86. "Share" has been defined in section 2 (35) of CO84 as "a share in the share capital of a company". Only "ordinary shares" and "preference shares" can so far make part of share capital, therefore warrants don't even fall under this umberalla as well.
As far as discount on issuance is concerned, it has almost similar cost to the company and there appears no financial benefit of allowing discount in comparison to paying dividend/interest. Further, it may be very difficult to issue shares/warrants on discount if the company has to make such issue as further issue.
As far as "options" or "call options" discussed by me in earlier post are concerned these were and are not meant for "traded options". These meant the put or call options available to preferencee shareholders in case these are convertible preference shareholders. Therefore, these do have dilutive effect on EPS.
Post: #7
I at the outset has said that there is no law but cushion is available in the law. Section 90 does not restrict the classes of share capital as ordinary or preference. Therefore, warrant may be considered as a class of share capital.
As for as section 86 is concerned, the company can not issue share other than right. if we are to issue warrant to one shareholder, this section shall be followed as a substance of the matter not merely its legal form (the definition of share or capital). The company is going to issue warrant to purchase share capital to a single investor in future, how it can be issued without following section 86. Is special resolution will be required after 5 years when actually share will be issued?
In this case, i have supposed that the company is trading on the higher market value than its book value / face value. if warrant is issued at a price more than the face value but lower than market value, i think it will cost nothing for the company.
Post: #8
I could not explain my point of view, I guess. Let me do it again.
SO FAR section 90 does cover ordinary shares and preference shares ONLY since it has stipualted that such classes of shares have to be prescribed. It states that different rights and privileges in relation to the different classes of shares MAY ONLY BE CONFERRED IN SUCH MANNER AS MAY BE PRESCRIBED. Law always restrict its boundries by using these words.
I may be wrong but I have a determined view that section 90 restricts issuance of warrants, if these have not yet been prescribed.
You have agreed that there has nothing been prescribed about warrants in law. The only prescribed shares in company law are ordinary shares and preference shares therefore section 90 has utmost relevance to what I have tried to explain.
I am still of the view that unless and until law prescribes right and privilidges and proivide rules and guidance for issuance of warrants no company can issue warrants in Pakistan. This is the public money and regulators will never allow to collect and utilize it without or beyond the limited prescribed by the promulgated rules and regulations.
If it could be a case, why not every ABC or XYZ start collecting money from public in similar ways and what was the need for promulagting rules for commercial paper, TFCs, preference shares and for calling deposits from public etc.
It can be simply a difference of opinion but I wonder what SECP will opine if you post them a query to clarify this matter. If you do, and get a response, let us know as well.
Post: #9
Let us see the contribution of other members. It was a discussion to gain knowledge about the subject matter.
If any update or opinion came under my observation i shall inform the members.
One thing you pointed out is very strong, that secp will not allow to issue warrant in absence of proper rules and regulations.
Post: #10
An Interesting post. I came ac ross it as I myself am recently looking for ways to issue a warrant for my company. The Company has entered into a Service agreement with technical consultants who are providing extensive assistance in developing a bankable feasibility model and arrangement of financing for a project. In return, the consultant wants warrants which would allow the consultant to become a shareholder in the company. The warrant is to be exercised as a chasless transaction.
Whilst searching online for a solution, I found this particular thread. I found Star's proposal for a share class quite interesting. We could technically have a warrant as a seperate share class with the following slaient features
* PAR value of only Rupee 0.01 (as against the Par value of Rs10 for a regular share)
* Zero voting right, Zero dividend right, no right to attend general meetings.
* The above rights would be foa limited time period as well (as a parallel to the exericse period of the warrant)
All the above features are inline with the variation in Rights and Privileges Rules 2000
Additionally, each warrant class of share can have an option to convert the shares to regular shares within the limited time period at a specific conversion option price.
Alternatively, we can even issue a long term right issue, since that is exactly what a rights issue is, the ability (right) to purchase the stock of the company at a certain price int he future. WOuld it be possible to do that?? (lets say a 3 year rights issue, which is declined by the current sponsors. Can such a declination be secured beforehand though a warrant agreement?)
In either of the above two cases (waarant through Share class or through ling term rights issue), would it be possible to base the exercise price of the warrant or the subscription number of shares (or conversion ratio - if in case of a share class) on a formula. The reason for asking this is because the consultant wants the warrant to entitle him to a sweat equity based on a formula.
Also if we go through the rights issue process, would it be possible to allow the consultant to carry out a cash less exercise, whereby the value of the rights itself is taken as the consideration for the issue of shares and a lesser number of shares are issued.

The spine is an incredibly important part of the human anatomy. An injury to it can often have catastrophic consequences for victims in Rhode Island and across the country. Often, those suffering from such an injury may not realize the severity, assuming they may have simply injured the muscles of their back. As a result, it often falls to medical care providers to recognize the potential of severe injury and take action to reduce the chance of additional harm. Unfortunately, a medical malpractice lawsuit claims that workers at an urgent care failed to provide appropriate guidance to a man suffering a spinal injury, resulting in permanent paralysis.
Doctor error during abortion led to patient's death
Doctors are human, and while most patients in Rhode Island expect that their physicians -- regardless of the procedure being formed -- will meet the accepted standard of care, they also expect that, if a mistake occurs, appropriate action will be taken to correct it. Unfortunately, a doctor in another state is facing criminal charges. The charges came after prosecutors said that doctor error led to a woman's death.
Medical malpractice allegations at children's hospital
When a baby is born, parents have a great many fears and hopes for their child's life. Learning that there is an issue with their child's heart is likely a terrifying experience. During such an event, many families in Rhode Island and across the country have no other choice but to put their child's future in the hands of health care professionals. Unfortunately, some patients fall victim to medical malpractice, leaving families wondering about legal remedies.
Woman claims medical malpractice caused a lifetime of pain
For most families in Rhode Island, the birth of a child marks the start of a new exciting path in life. However, mistakes made during the delivery process can often create an unexpected path. For a woman in another state, medical malpractice allegedly resulted in a life path filled with pain.
Woman awarded over $24 million in medical malpractice case
For most families in Rhode Island, the birth of a child is a time of celebration and happiness. Unfortunately, the aftermath of delivery turned into a nightmare for one family in another state. A medical malpractice lawsuit filed against the hospital as a result of the harm the woman suffered recently resulted in a significant financial award.
Medical malpractice cases repeat common patterns of negligence
The shocking statistic reported nationwide in recent years, including in Rhode Island, is that medical negligence represents the third highest cause of human fatalities next to heart disease and cancer. That statistic is a powerful counter to those who would further restrict the ability of victimized patients to file medical malpractice claims. When a medical provider falls below the minimal standard of care required of his or her peers in that medical specialty, liability for damages will be attributed to the provider.
Doctor faces medical malpractice case in man's death
Did one doctor's pending legal case lead him to fail in his care to another patient? That is the allegation of one recent medical malpractice lawsuit. A physician is facing charges of medical negligence, as is the hospital he worked for and the group who owned the hospital. Individuals in Rhode Island who are interested in learning more about doctor errors may be interested in the details of this recent and developing story.
Veteran dies after alleged medical negligence
A man seeking aid for chest pain and shortness of breath was initially turned away and then later offered delayed care. Unfortunately, this person later died while waiting on medical treatment. His widow alleges that the veteran's hospital is guilty of medical negligence and has brought a lawsuit. Sadly, this issue can occur in any state, so veterans in Rhode Island may be able to learn something from this case.
VA doctors accused of medical malpractice
The Department of Veterans Affairs was established to support veterans who have been harmed in performing their duty to protect and serve the citizens of the United States. Since veterans have sacrificed in the name of the greater good, many believe that the VA owes the best treatment for disease and injuries to these individuals. Unfortunately, a recent news investigation showed that the VA may be lax in hiring physicians with a history of medical malpractice. For veterans in Rhode Island, this situation can become very problematic.
Woman awarded $1.2 million from medical malpractice suit
These days, patient safety is a top priority at medical facilities across the country. Doctors in Rhode Island are highly trained, skilled professionals that have access to state of the art equipment to make surgeries and other medical procedures safer than ever before. However, surgeons and doctors are also human and humans will make mistakes. Unfortunately, when mistakes happen during surgery, the patient suffers the consequences. Recently, a woman in another state was awarded over $1 million from a medical malpractice lawsuit she filed after an alleged surgical mistake.

South Africa's cricketers are experiencing their first, full-length winter break in 14 years. The team last played on March 25, when they were dumped out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage and they will not take the field again until October 13, giving them a break of almost seven months.
Some, like JP Duminy and Graeme Smith, are using the time to tie the knot while others, like Dale Steyn, have gone on an extended holiday. But the likes of Roelof van der Merwe and Loots Bosman aren't curling up around fires or exploring parts of the world that cricket doesn't take them to. They're part of the South Africa A side that have headed to Zimbabwe, where they will play in a tri-series also featuring Australia A.
The trip to Zimbabwe is short, with South Africa A playing just four one-day games, but significant. Ten of the 14 players in the A side have been part of the senior national team before and, with no other competitive cricket before the season starts, have to take this opportunity to stake their claim for a national recall.
Vincent Barnes, the South Africa A coach, enunciated the significance of the tour. "We've sent an important message to these players, that this is not just an ordinary tour or just any other set of pre-season games," he told ESPNcricinfo. "We need to find out who's next, in terms of everything from wicketkeeping to spin."
With Heino Kuhn and van der Merwe the only specialist wicketkeeper and spinner in the A squad respectively, it is clear that they have been identified as players for the future. The trip to Zimbabwe will present the pair with the chance to break further away from the chasing pack, with the focus on van der Merwe, now that South African attitudes are more embracing to spin. The left-arm spinner is known for his aggression with both bat and ball and is experienced enough to merit another stint at the highest level. "Roelof fell by the way side with the national team a few years ago, but he has worked really hard in our camp over the last few days and showed his commitment," Barnes said.
In the batting department, Jacques Rudolph, who will captain the A side and is being tipped for a recall to the South Africa team, will be closely watched. Rudolph returned from Yorkshire last season to play domestic cricket in South Africa. He topped the run-scoring charts in the 2010-11 SuperSport Series and was the fourth-highest run-scorer in the MTN40 tournament. His captaincy of Titans, and of South Africa A during the home series against Bangladesh A, has been innovative and his maturity evident. "My goal is always to score as many runs as possible," he said. "It's a good time to show the strength and depth of our cricket."
The fast bowlers could prove the most interesting area, with none of the five quicks in the A squad having finished the MTN40 season in the top ten on the bowling charts. Vernon Philander and Rusty Theron are considered the two closest to a comeback for South Africa. Philander has been outstanding at first-class level, but less so in the limited-overs formats. "It will be good to play against more international players and see how I go against the big boys," Philander said.
Philander last played for South Africa in August 2008 and said that being dropped allowed him to develop as a player. "I know a lot more about my game now than I did before and I know what's expected at international level."
Theron has had a frustrating time; he has been picked for various South Africa squads and given a national contract but has only played five Twenty20 internationals and four ODIs. He said he will use this tour to show that he is a "complete bowler." Theron is known to be a death-over specialist but feels he can offer more. "I can also bowl an efficient first spell and come back in the middle as well. If there is a good training ground to show those skills, this is it."
Allan Donald, who took over as national bowling coach when Gary Kirsten was appointed on June 6, is accompanying Barnes on the tour in order to get a first-hand look at the fast bowlers. Donald replaced Barnes and, on the face of it, the situation they find themselves in appears, at best, awkward. But Barnes denied any tension and said the pair enjoyed "sharing ideas."
The tour is Barnes' first in his new position at the High Performance Centre, after he spent eight years with the national team. While it is mostly about the players proving their worth, Barnes said he will also use it as a step to re-establishing himself as a coach in his own right. "It's very good to be able to consider myself a head coach now," he said. "I am actually running the nets and not just working with the bowlers now."

Subculture・Paramida, Harri & Domenic
House and disco infiltrator and Love on the Rocks label innovator Paramia finds her Subculture with a Sub Club debut.
Self-labelled as "Berlin's Most Hated", Paramida is cut from a different cloth amongst Berlin's mainstay savant DJs. She has crafted a musical identity that resolutely flips off the all-too-often self-absorbed and overbearingly "serious" dance music landscape.
With a fervent style of DJing that champions an "anything goes" ethos so long as it makes you dance, it's not hard to hear what makes a Paramida party such a sought-after experience.

So very grateful to Farnum!! They saved my life, Taught me the 3 principals and here I am still sober!! 2 and a half months later, one day at a time!! :) Thank You Farnum!! Best people and best food!! :)
Douglas Ramsey, 2 years ago
This place helped me beyond belief. I never thought I would ever get clean and sober! When I put myself into detox and residential I realized a whole new world. I met a lot of great woman in there that I still keep in touch with! Also my counselor, Kayla, was the best thing that ever came to me! She helped through all of it & helped me get clothes for myself that I needed and also gave me some of her own clothes! I appreciate Kayla & wanted to say thank you once again! Also Cheryl , thank you so very much for allowing my son to come have lunch with me and the girls & just showing me the light that I needed. A lot of the staff was so nice and caring and loving! I really loved it there & honestly didn't want to leave! But thank you Farnum center, you guys saved me and my baby girls life & my sons! I love you all!
Ali Iannotti, 2 years ago
This was a "GREAT" experience. The staff was awesome!! The "3 Principle" concept of mind, thought, & consciousness will help me to overcome my addiction; as well as improve my thought process in everyday life. Thanks, Farnum Center!!
Billy Poole, 2 years ago
I came into Farnum Center with no prior knowledge of rehab facilities. I have tried the AA 12 steps before but this was my first time with a residential rehab program. The 3 Principles teaching is an entirely different way of looking at recovery and mental health. The unique approach teaches you to look inside for all your answers and to not dwell so heavily on the past. It was an incredible learning experience that opened my eyes to new ways to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Billy Poole, 2 years ago
Great concept and philosophy provided by staff and counselors, different than the majority of facilities. While the foundation of AA is present in terms of nightly meetings and ideas, the three Principals teach clients/guests how to unlock their ability to use Thought to essentially generate a more tolerable reality, helping them overcome addiction and suffering. The facility is also very clean, has a great variety of food for mealtimes, and clients appear to all work together as a fellowship.
Ryan Tuttle, 2 years ago
I have been to other rehab programs. Coming to Farnum I thought it would be like all the rest of the places I have stayed at. Farnum teaches you about the 3 principals, mind, consciousness, and thought. A thought is a thought, we have approximately 70,000 thoughts a day, they come and go so quickly. You make the choice to act on the thought or leave it with the rest of the thoughts that go through our heads each and every day. I thought I would never get away from Drugs/Alcohol but this place has opened my eyes to a new way to live. If I could tell anyone who has struggled like I have to give the 3 principals a chance I think it could save their lives like it has mine. THANK YOU FARNUM!
tasha bleggi, 3 years ago
This was my first experience at a rehab and I never thought I would have ever stepped foot into one but am I glad I did. They were very welcoming from day one. They have great food. staff is very helpful and very nice. Everyone here works with you and has a genuine care for anyone who steps through the door. They made me aware of three principals I lost a long time ago of MIND, THOUGHT, and CONSCIENCE. I Feel better than I can remember and feel good going onward with my recovery. Thank you Farnum Center for everything.
Eric co, 3 years ago
The residential program was a very positive experience which gave me new tools I am able to use in my daily life to help deal with my addiction. The three principals have opened my eyes to new concepts that I was never aware of, empowering me to make the progress I need to live a healthy, happy, sober life!
Sharyn Leclerc, 3 years ago
I feel this is a very good and helpful program for recovery with a lot of great staff and great fellowship. A few things I really think need worked on is communication between the staff and possibly more training for the counselors and the R.I.'s some of them are a little unprofessional in some ways (letting certain people get away with things or treating people differently) and also I think need to be more one on one counseling sessions and maybe change up the schedule so its not so repetitive. But overall its a great program with friendly staff and I learned a lot. I will recommend it to others.
Kris Powers, 3 years ago
The Farnum Center is a great place for recovery. One of only a few places in the country that teaches the three principles as opposed to the 12 steps and really gets you to focus on yourself and how your thoughts dictate your lifestyle. Rather than drilling into your head drugs are bad. Staff is very attentive and it really is a good experience, barely felt like rehab. Highly recommend although I won't be coming back :)
D Guay, 3 years ago
I went through detox and the men's residential program here. Overall it was a good experience, I am very happy with all the tools I have learned to maintain my sobriety. Food is great, community is great, most of the staff is great. My only gripe would be that there is some definite inconsistencies with rules and some staff members themselves. Some are very understanding and tolerant, and others won't put up with anything. But once you look past that, this place is great.
David Boisvert, 3 years ago
before coming to Farnum I was very standoffish and didn't know how to take it, this place is amazing between the staff and the brotherhood I gained here I would recommend it to anyone. The food is very good and beds are comfy.. cannot wait to use what ive learned here and spread the message
jaefrost, 3 years ago
I have known the director of the program Cheryl Wilke for years and I am so happy to learn she is heading their team. My youngest brother has battled with drug addiction and I am excited to know this resource is available and I will absolutely be sending people their way.
Kyle Battis, 3 years ago
This my second trip to Farnum. The first was 6 years ago in the old facility. The current facility is much nicer. But the biggest improvement for me is that it is no longer just AA based. They are now teaching the 3 principles (Health Realization) and the Four Agreements. AA is still in the mix but not the sole focus.
Debby Granberg, 3 years ago
This place saved my life, i was at a point about 3 years ago where i should've died. and the judge sent me here. and honestly it worked wonders. i was clean for almost three years. but then i decided to relapse. and now im in a worse spot than i was before and im giong thru hell and hgih water to get back into Farnum, because it's the only rehab I will goto. It's the only rehab I trust to help me catch that which it was I missed for i must've missed something a long the way to relapse this hard. but I know Farnum has what it is i need to get better. Boom.

Situated in Manchester, New Hampshire, Farnum Center has treatment options for those who are seeking help for drug and alcohol addiction.
Addiction is a progressive disease of the mind that will continue to get worse with time if it goes untreated. It will continue to worsen without the help of a recovery program. It's important that those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol seek the help of Farnum Center in order to regain the life that has become lost to addiction.
Through a thorough patient evaluation, addicts who attend treatment at Farnum Center can get a personalized treatment plan made. The assessment is intended to depict the severity of the addiction as well as to learn more about the individual themselves. This way, a comprehensive treatment program can be put in place in order to reap the desired result; that being long-lasting abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
Throughout the patient's time in treatment at Farnum Center, the addict will learn new vital coping mechanisms and trigger management skills. These will help the addict adapt to a new life that is free of substance abuse when they reenter society. Since many addicts relapse, it is inherently important that they avoid certain settings or social circles that will pressure them to use.
At Farnum Center, we believe that all addicts have the courage within to overcome their drug and alcohol addiction. Through the constant support of counselors and professional advisors working with addict's daily, recovery is possible. Despite how long one has been an addict for, recovery is still absolutely attainable. Treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach and at Farnum Center, treating each patient with individuality is of utmost importance.
Breaking the vicious cycle of addiction is tough, but with professional counselors and effective treatment options in place, sobriety is closer than it seems. Get in touch with Farnum Center today at www.Farnumcenter.Org to learn more about how recovery can help pave a new life path. When the final level of sustained sobriety is reached, a feeling of contentment will ensue and this is something to be extremely proud of.

If you have diabetes, it can seem like everyone has advice for you. But how do you know what is true? Here are 4 myths about managing your diabetes.
Myth #1: You Can't Eat Fruit
While it's true that fruit contains carbohydrates, and carbs raise blood sugar, it's not true that carbs or fruit are bad for people with diabetes. Even know they contain natural sugars they also provide phytochemicals, fiber and antioxidants and vitamins.
What can you do?
Enjoy a variety of fruits in reasonable portions. Learn the carb counts of your favorite ones and count them in your total allotment for your meal or snack. A certified nutritionist or diabetic educator can help create a meal plan that incorporates your favorites.
Myth #2: Sugar-Free
Sugar-free cookies, cakes and ice cream are popular, but they aren't necessarily low in calories or even low in carbohydrates. They can have a big impact on your diabetes management! Carbs other than sugar — such as the flour and sugar alcohols in sugar-free desserts — affect your blood sugar levels, too.
What to do?
Carefully look at the nutrition facts on the label. Pay close attention to carb count.
Myth #3: Snacks
Eating snacks when you aren't hungry might be one of the reasons you're not slimming down and seeing healthier blood sugar numbers. In the past diabetic medications were not available which meant that you needed snacks to keep your blood sugar level. New medications don't tend to cause hypoglycemia.
What to do?
Ask your nutritionist and medical doctor to learn if the medications you are taking require you to have a snack and what the best choice is. Nuts, cheese and low fat yogurt are good choices.
Myth #4: Big dinner, eat light during the day
The amount you eat , especially the amount of carbohydrates you eat matters at every meal! Shifting all your carbs and calories to one big meal can really affect your blood sugar.
What to do?
Instead of adding extra carbohydrates to your meal, which will just raise your blood sugar, swap one carb-rich food for another. I even tell my clients with diabetes forgo fruits, whole grains and other healthful carb-rich foods so they can enjoy a small slice of birthday cake. The key here is this should not be done often, but for a special occasion where you really want to enjoy this can be permissible as long as your medical doctor says ok!

The vicious animals beat him so hard he was admitted to the hospital.
Asian youths in 'faith hate' attack on priest
An Anglican priest is in hospital after he was beaten up and insulted in what appears to be a "faith hate" assault by Asian youths.
Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was kicked and punched in the head and left with deep cuts, bruising and two black eyes in the grounds of his historic church in east London after he asked three Asian (Psst…P.C. code word for 'muslim') youths there to be quiet.
The attack at the 18th-century St George in the East Church in Stepney follows a number of apparently anti-Christian attacks in recent months in the same area.
"He was kicked and punched in the head as he lay on the ground, I believe that what was shouted was 'you f****** priest' before they attacked him."
A Metropolitan police spokesman said: "The suspects are Asian . . . and the incident is being investigated as an alleged faith hate crime."
The church had previously been targeted when a brick smashed a window during a service. Allan Ramanoop, a member of the parochial church council, said: "On one occasion, youths shouted: 'This should not be a church, this should be a mosque, you should not be here'.

The LG 29UM69G is a decent, ultra-fast IPS gaming monitor with an above-average 75 Hz refresh rate. Due to the low response time and the ability to flicker the image and clear fast movements, it offers excellent motion processing. It also feels appealing due to the low input delay. Unfortunately, the image quality is below average due to the very poor black uniformity and the average screen brightness.
The design of the LG ultrawide is good. All parts are made of plastic, but the monitor is stylish with defined edges and glossy plastic. The base has a small footprint, but it supports the monitor quite well, although the entire weight of the monitor moves when knocking. The back is made of glossy plastic that makes fingerprints look good, and there's a small clip for cable management.
Picture Quality
The image quality of the LG 29UM69G is below average due to the low native contrast ratio, so that blacks in dark rooms appear gray and are also very uneven. In a bright room this is imperceptible, so it is not a problem for a bright office or living room. The monitor can not get really bright to fight glare, but the reflection behavior is good.
The colors are very accurate on delivery and the viewing angle is good, so the edges remain accurate even when you look closely at them or share pictures with friends. Unfortunately, this monitor does not support image enhancement features such as local dimming or HDR.
Motion looks good on the LG 29UM69G. It has a fast response time, is flicker-free, has a good 75 Hz refresh rate with FreeSync, and has an optional Black Frame Insertion (BFI) to reduce the blurring of persistence. Unfortunately, the BFI is at 75Hz and sometimes looks flickery, and the FreeSync range does not go below 40Hz, as in most FreeSync monitors.
The LG 29UM69G-B has excellent input delay, an impressive 21: 9 aspect ratio, and a decent 2560 x 1080 resolution, which makes its size and pixel density better than most 1080p FHD monitors, but not as good as the 27 Inch 1440p monitors – too common nowadays.
The LG 29UM69G supports some additional functions that are accessible via the joystick, such as the control panel. For example, a "Super Resolution" image processing option, reaction time adjustment, and a crosshair overlay. The OSD is quite intuitive, but the single joystick is not as easy to use as other monitors with separate buttons.
Mixed Usage
Decent monitor for a range of applications. The ultra-wide resolution is suitable for multitasking, as two windows fit together comfortably. The 75 Hz refresh rate, combined with low input delay and excellent motion, make the monitor very appealing. Unfortunately, the picture quality is below average, but it is accurate outside the box and remains accurate even when skewed.
Average monitor for office use. The ultra-wide resolution allows you to view documents or web pages next to each other, and the monitor is ready to use. Unfortunately, the LG 29UM69G can not get very bright to fight glare, but the screen surface reduces reflections. The image quality is also accurate, which is good, and remains even when viewed at an angle that is great for sharing pictures with colleagues.
Good monitor for games. The LG 29UM69G-B feels appealing due to the low input delay and the 75 Hz refresh rate, which is not as good at 120 Hz or 144 Hz as other monitors. The motion control is great, but unfortunately the picture quality is below average and in dark rooms the black uniformity is very bad.
Below average for watching movies and TV shows. The image quality is below average due to the low native contrast ratio and the low black uniformity, so that blacks appear gray and blotchy. The colors are very accurate outside the box, which is good, and remain accurate even when skewed.

Nostalgia and Charm Come Together in the Iconic "Complete Peanuts:1950-1952″
The last of my Fantagraphics reviews is a bit of a departure from my usual recommendations. While I tend to focus on webcomics, small press, and lesser known artists, I couldn't resist this gem of a book. The Complete Peanuts: 1950 – 1952 is the first of several compilations of the work of the inimitable Charles Schultz.
You are undoubtedly familiar with Schultz's characters: Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and the rest of their elementary school compatriots. But what you are undoubtedly picturing right now are the characters and designs that were already established and popular in 1965 (the year that A Charlie Brown Christmas came out). You will not find those characters in this book.
Instead you will find the origins and steady evolution of what would eventually become a paragon of cartooning. This Charlie Brown is self-admittedly four years old, an only child with a rounder head and more naive disposition. Lucy van Pelt is not his bossy and outspoken classmate but an infant, still in a crib and barely speaking when she makes her first appearance in 1952, a full two years after the comic first premiered. The plots follow the same thread that all Peanuts cartoons are known for, namely the interactions, arguments, disappointments, and small victories of a group of children. But the whole of it feels very fresh, as if by reading it you are glimpsing into the mind of a 28-year-old Schultz as he penned those first strips, delving into his humor and wry contemplation of childhood.
Amid the fun visual gags and adorable children's games the comic surprises with moments of outspoken feminism, startling self-awareness, and insightful clarity into the cruelties and kindnesses of children. It makes for not only an entertaining read, but also a deeply personal look back into our own history. You may know all about Charlie Brown's long-standing struggle with a certain football, but there is something deeply satisfying in reading the very first strip where he took that running leap.
The Complete Peanuts: 1950-1952 is available for purchase from Fantagraphics Books, along with the rest of Charlie Brown's compiled adventures.

Yankees complete comeback, beat Indians in Game 5: Final score, things to know
After Wednesday night's win in Cleveland, the Yankees are moving on in the postseason
In Cleveland on Wednesday night, the Yankees led the Indians wire-to-wire and won by a score of 5-2 (box score) in Game 5 of the ALDS. That means the Yankees will advance to the ALCS to take on the Astros.
Now for some things to know about this do-or-die contest at Progressive Field ...
The Yankees joined elite postseason company
The Yanks of course dropped Games 1 and 2 in Cleveland before ripping off a pair of wins back in the Bronx. The win in Game 5 makes them just the 10th team in MLB history to come back from down 0-2 to win a best-of-five postseason series. As well, they become just the fourth team to win Game 5 on the road to complete such a comeback.
Didi owned the night
Tribe ace Corey Kluber looked pretty good versus Yankees not named Didi Gregorius. Unfortunately for Cleveland, Sir Didi was in the lineup, with a bat and everything. Here's Gregorius in the first ...
DIDI GREGORIUS GONE!— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) October 12, 2017
Solo homer off Corey Kluber giving the @Yankees the 1-0 lead. https://t.co/Yzk2mwLitt
And here he is next time up in the third ...
DIDI AGAIN! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!@Yankees take the 3-0 lead in the 3rd. https://t.co/s7dekYhyjy— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) October 12, 2017
During the past two seasons, Gregorius has shown plenty of pop by shortstop standards, and he has taken full advantage of the short right field porch at Yankee Stadium ...
As for his Game 5 exploits, he joined elite clutch company ...
The second of Gregorius' home runs gave the Yankees a 78 percent chance of winning Game 5. Things would get tighter, but Gregoirus' power display was the difference maker. On top of all that, Gregorius added a single and then turned a nifty 6-U-3 double play to end the fifth and preserve the lead.
Brett Gardner had one of the best at-bats of the season
Gardner came to the plate in the road half of the ninth against Cody Allen with two outs and two on and the Yankees clinging to a one-run lead. Then he did this ...
Yep, that's a 12-pitch at-bat that included six foul balls (five with the runners going). Then on that 12th pitch -- a 94-mph fastball on the inner third -- Gardner broke it open ...

The Cleveland outfield defense didn't help matters in that inning, but mostly it was about Gardner's relentless at-bat.
CC Sabathia did his job
The elder statesman of the Yankees rotation looked dominant early in Game 5, thanks in part to excellent command of his curve. Regard ...
He ran into trouble in the fifth, as he yielded four consecutive singles, but he wound up allowing a respectable two runs in 4 1/3 innings. Given the rock-solid Yankees bullpen, that was enough.
Kluber was better but still not good
Kluber, of course, had a surprisingly bad outing in Game 2; the Yankees cuffed him around for six runs in 2 2/3 innings. In Game 5, he was better without being a dominant as he had been for much of the regular season ...
Those runs are all the result of those two Gregorius home runs noted above. So, to repeat: Better than last time but still not good. Speaking of those recent struggles ...
It's really hard to win a best-of-5 series when your ace gives you a pair of starts like that.
The Tribe's best hitters didn't get it done
Cleveland's best hitters during the regular season were Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor and Edwin Encarnacion. This hard-hitting trio, however, got pretty well smothered by Yankees pitching in the ALDS. Combined, they went 4 for 45 in the ALDS. Yes, Encarnacion missed two games with an ankle injury and Lindor saw a home run robbed by Aaron Judge, but those numbers are bad in any context. That plus the Kluber struggles really did the Tribe in.
The Yankees bullpen was big in this series
This was a bullpen-heavy series for the Yankees; their relievers wound up working almost half of the team's innings in the ALDS. In all, Dellin Betances, Aroldis Chapman, David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle, Chad Green, Jaime Garcia and Adam Warren combined to register an ERA of 2.70 in 20 innings. Considering that the Yankees relief corps was worked heavily in the AL Wild Card Game, those numbers look even more impressive.
Ellsbury is the king of the catcher's interference
Although he wound up getting stranded, Yankees DH Jacoby Ellsbury reached via catcher's interference in the second. That occasioned a bit of postseason history ...
OK, so two is the record. As you can probably surmise, the catcher's interference call doesn't happen all that often. Ellsbury, though, has quite a knack for it, as he's also the all-time regular season leader in the category. Last month, Ellsbury registered the 30th CI of his career, which broke a tie with Pete Rose for the all-time mark. While we're at it, let's also note that Ellsbury's 12 CIs in 2016 is the single-season record.
Jacoby Ellsbury, elite mitt-toucher!
Judge had a rough series
Aaron Judge -- he of the 52 home runs in the regular season -- did not have an ALDS to remember. Coming into Game 5, Judge had a line of .067/.263/.133 against the Indians in this series. Then in Game 5 he went 0 for 5. There's also this ...
Yep, any postseason series, including best-of-7 postseason series. He would strike out two more times in Game 5 after that tweet was sent, so make the record 16. There's also this ...
We're in a high-strikeout era, of course, and whiffs are part of the costs of doing business when you hit for power. Judge in this series, though, struck out early and often but had only one double to show for it. Of course, the Yankees won, so something tells me Judge will be able shake this off. Speaking of which ...
Yeah, it's all good.
Joe Girardi can remove his goat horns
Back in Game 2, Yankees manager Joe Girardi made a huge gaffe by not challenging a hit-by-pitch call in the sixth inning. With two out and runners on the corners and reliever Chad Green staked to an 8-3 lead, Lonnie Chisenhall fouled off six consecutive pitches before the plate ump ruled that the seventh pitch of the at-bat hit him on the hand. However, it appeared on replay that the pitch hit the knob of Chisenhall's bat and then landed in Gary Sanchez's glove for what should've been a foul-tip strikeout that ended the inning. Instead, it led to a Francisco Lindor grand slam and the Yankees' biggest blown lead in a playoff game since 2002.
Had the Indians been able to close out this series, we would be talking about Girardi's tactical mistake for a long time. Now, it's mostly going to go away. Sure, you can make the point that Girardi's mistake extended a series that otherwise would've ended in four games and thus taxed the roster a bit more, but that kind of argument -- fair or not -- doesn't tend to have staying power. As such, the Game 5 triumph was especially good for Girardi's legacy.
The Indians' title drought continues
They came achingly close to winning it all last year, and they looked like the best team in baseball heading into the 2017 postseason. Once again, however, their efforts have come to grief. Cleveland hasn't won it all since way back yonder in 1948, and this elimination from the playoffs on Wednesday night means the title drought will reach 69 years. It's particularly painful, since the Indians last year blew a 3-1 lead in the World Series and then blew a 2-0 lead in the 2017 ALDS.
The ALCS is set
As noted above, the Yankees will advance to the ALCS to face the Astros. Game 1 is set for Friday night in Houston. Dallas Keuchel will be going for the hosts. It's the Yankees' first trip to the ALCS since 2012, when they were swept by the Tigers. The Yankees will be trying to win the pennant for the 41st time in franchise history.

The project undertaken aims to find out the sale of Aquafina and Kinley
mineral water and its effect on Bisleri.
A few years back, the mineral water market had been crawling at the rate of
3-4%, or even a lower figure. Indians carried drinking water
in earthen pitchers, plastic or PUF bottles. But increasing cases of typhoid
and other waterborne diseases began to be reported. In addition to this, liberalization
happened and the mineral water industry began to be stirred and shaken. The
market started growing an astounding rate of over 100% per annum. The fact that
there were very few players in the market meant that their business grew by
leaps and bounds. The major foreign players are 'Coca-Cola
'promoted 'Kinley' and Pepsis 'Aquafina
The project was also undertaken in order to find out acceptance of Aquafina
and Kinley mineral water. For this sample size of 100 retailers were
covered all over Delhi and questionnaire were being filled up them which later
on helped me to assist in coming out with the result.
Objectives of the Project Report:
- The affects on 'Bisleri' sale, profit & market share after the launch
of 'Acquafina 'by Pepsi and 'Kinley'by Coca Cola.
- To find out the current position of 'Acquafina' and 'Kinley' Mineral
- Threats caused by' Acquafina '& 'Kinley 'to 'Bisleri'.
- Strategies and measures adopted by 'Bisleri' to counter the competition by
'Acquafina' & 'Kinley'.
