Coke Vs Pepsi Rivalry

Image
Respectively introduced in the year 1886 and 1903, both Coke and Pepsi were rivals each other trying to dominate the carbonated soft drink market. Both brands were undergoing global advertisement war through print ads and video ads, trying to stay on top of each other. When Pepsi and Coke, entered the market, they brought with them the cola wars that had become part of global folklore. Coca Cola takes the 2nd floor of this building for their Sales Marketing office and puts up a hoarding. Then Pepsi Puts up its hoarding below it, saying that its available everywhere....... A couple days later Pepsi puts up the other board just for fun. Pepsi vs Coca-Cola in front of the National Museum in Yerevan-Armenia Coke murdered by gang of Pepsi. And Coca Cola made a come back. What do you prefer : Pepsi or Coke?

Top 10 Most Expensive Accidents in History

Image
Throughout history, humans have always been prone to accidents. Some, such as the exotic car crashes seen on this page, can be very expensive. But that ' s trivial compared to the truly expensive accidents. An accident is defined as "an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss". Our aim is to list the top 10 most expensive accidents in the history of the world as measured in dollars. This includes property damage and expenses incurred related to the accident such as cleanup and industry losses. Many of these accidents involve casualties which obviously cannot be measured in dollar terms. Each life lost is priceless and is not factored into the equation. Deliberate actions such as war or terrorism and natural disasters do not qualify as accidents and therefore are not included in this list. # 10. Titanic - $150 Million The sinking of the Titanic is possibly the most famous accident in ...

Miracle Man Walks AgainTuesday

Image
He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again.When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a medical miracle that he lived. It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life..Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso - but the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall. Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again. People should start believing in miracles.......coz it does happen!!

20 Rules In Any Office 1. Rule 1. - The Boss is always right. 2. Rule 2. - If the Boss is wrong, see rule 1. 3. Those who work get more work. Others get pay, perks, and promotions. 4. Ph.D. stands for "Pull Him Down". The more intelligent a person, the more hardworking a person, the more committed a person; the more number of persons are engaged in pulling that person down. 5. If you are good, you will get all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it. 6.. When the Bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves. 7. It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you are going to do. 8. A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt. 9. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. 10. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get. ...

Pilot launches jetpack adventure

Image
A Swiss pilot is hoping to become the first person to fly solo across the English Channel using a single jet-propelled wing. Yves Rossy will take a plane to more than 8,200ft (2,500m), ignite jets on a wing on his back, and then jump out. He aims to complete the 22 mile (3.2km) flight from Calais to Dover in 12 minutes reaching speeds of 125mph. The 49-year-old former military pilot had to postpone an earlier attempt due to weather conditions. Mr Rossy, known as "Fusionman," hopes to follow the route taken by French airman Louis Blériot 99 years ago when he became the first person to fly across the English Channel in a plane. His quote consistently is: I'm not worried about risk, I manage risk Kathryn Liptrott National G...
