“Hard Rock” sells “Hindu Pizza”, upsetting Hindus

NewsPatrolling.com (Media partnered with Niryas.com webeesocial.com  ayushmaanbhavah.com newzopedia.com) : Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) has a “Hindu” pizza on its menu containing “chicken tikka masala with yogurt, cilantro and mint”, which has upset the Hindus.

 

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, termed it as a trivialization of the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about 1.1 billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought.

 

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged Orlando (Florida) headquartered Hard Rock International ((HRI), whose tagline is “Love All, Serve All”; to immediately rename the “Hindu” pizza, and its Chairman Jim Allen to offer a formal apology.

 

Rajan Zed pointed out that Hindus were mostly vegetarian and selling a meat topped pizza in their name was highly inappropriate. No faith, larger or smaller, should be taken frivolously and mishandled for mercantile greed, Zed added.

 

Zed suggested that HRI and other companies should send their senior executives for training in religious and cultural sensitivity so that they had an understanding of the feelings of customers and communities when introducing new products or launching advertising campaigns.

 

“Hindu” pizza was available at the Pizzeto restaurant (in HRI’s largest property located in Punta Cana) which opens daily from 12pm to next day 7am and has a “Dress Code”.

 

HRI, whose history goes back to 1971, owns-operates restaurants, hotels, live performance venues and casinos globally and sells collectible fashion and music-related merchandise. It claims: “no one does hospitality like us” and it recently launched “Rock Om”; “an in-room yoga experience, energizing the body and soul through the power of music.” It delivers “Rock Om yoga kit” to each hotel room free of charge. Select HRI hotels also reportedly offer live, on-site yoga classes.

9950 defended by the bulls: Angel Broking

NewsPatrolling.comhttp://www.newspatrolling.comL “The indices started trading for the week on a cautious note citing the sell-off which was seen in the U.S markets on Friday. However, 9950 acted as a strong support in first half of the session and the Nifty rallied sharply in the latter half to conclude the day well above the 10100 mark.

 

If we observe the short term charts, it is seen that the Nifty index has pulled back from the higher end of the support zone which was placed in the range of 9950-9900. Also, the options data hinted at this pullback as unwinding was not seen in the 10000 put, which carries the highest OI since the start of this series. Friday's gap area has also been filled which provides a much-needed relief for the bulls. Although this does not change the broader trend, the pullback move could further retrace the recent downmove in near-term. For the coming session, 10200-10227 is likely to act as resistance whereas 10050 is expected to act as intraday support.

 

We continue with our view that we may see good trading opportunities in individual stocks in this truncated week and hence, traders are advised to continue focusing on such propositions.”

Offering a world away from traditional cinema model, it will program and host a series of high-profile cinema events setting high standards of alternate content for the patrons.

In 2014 PVR LIVE (Entertainment Beyond Movies) successfully pioneered the step to bring global alternate content to India, to keep the movie-lovers hooked with an interesting onscreen showcase of Museum Exhibitions, Concert Films, Musicals, Ballets, Theatre/ Broadway plays and such. The first season of ‘PVR LIVE’ was quite dynamic & thrilling. The screenings of Queen, Cinderella & Swan Lake though attracted a niche audience, created considerable word-of-mouth regarding such international content being made available to our discerning viewers. The Stand-up acts AIB & Pretentious Nights were sold out in a couple of days & the reason for the same was evident in the audience hysteria at these shows. Furthermore ‘One Direction – Where We Are – The Concert Film,’ was a blockbuster with approximately 8000 admits at PVR cinemas (2 shows across multiple locations).

The importance of generating unique events with added value for the audience in terms of regular cinema screenings forms the basis of this pioneering initiative by PVR. PVR Live 2.0 offers emotionally or intellectually engaging content providing a unique shared experience of something that they would not otherwise have access to, such as the one-night special screenings, or world-renowned productions and exhibitions.

Commenting on these developments, Dharmesh Datta, Business Head - Alternate Content, PVR Limited said “Though mainstream studio content is still the rage; alternate indie content is fast emerging as a compelling option. PVR LIVE caters to this growing demand by making non studio-driven content available for consumption to the discerning patrons. PVR Live will endeavor to showcase unique content-pipeline, which has something for everyone. We feature a variety of alternate events in order to give our guests options.”

Milk Production Trends in India

Niryas.com (Full cream organic milk manufacturer) :Can you guesswhich one is the largest food crop in India? Well, it's milk! This may sound surprising, but milk production in India is worth a staggering Rs 6.5 lakh crore. This is much more than the combined value of paddy and wheat production in the country. India leads in milk production globally as well, contributing around 20 percent of the world's total milk production. As a matter of fact, India is the largest milk producer in the world.

India produces more than 165 million metric tons of milk every year and the production is growing at a rate of around 4.5 percent. The per capita consumption of milk in India also shows a healthy trend, having grown from 110 grams per person per day in the 70s to the current 360 grams per person per day. In the next 5 decades, per capita consumption of milk in India will become equal to that of US and Europe at around 800 grams per person per day. All these facts clearly point out to the growing popularity of milk and the various health benefits it offers.

The organized sector, comprising cooperative organizations and private companies, is processing around 20 percent of the overall milk production in the country. This sector is growing around 10-15 percent overall, with new products such as cream and cheese registering higher growth rate of 20-30 percent. Traditional items such as ghee and butter are growing in the range of 8-10 percent. The growth in organized sector is due to the growing preference for branded products that come with the promise of quality, freshness, purity and affordability. Rise in overall consumption of milk and milk products, is also aiding growth of organized sector.

Liquid milk is the most consumed dairy product in India, followed by other items such as dahi and ghee. Beyond this, there is cheese, butter, buttermilk, and ice-cream. Prices of milk and milk products remained stable throughout 2017, but prices may rise in 2018. Farmers in many states of the country are experiencing a tough situation, as they are not even getting the cost of milk produced. Milk prices had peaked globally in 2014-2015, but after that, the prices have been falling. This is making milk production a burden for many farmers.

However, as milk companies and cooperatives realize the long term implications, it is expected that milk prices will rise in the coming years. This would be a welcome development for farmers, even though consumers may have to shell out a bit more for their daily glass of milk.

Reports indicate that by the end of 2018, these products will be available in around 14 percent households in the United States. These voice supported devices are making inroads globally as well. Businesses will have to analyze this voice-driven landscape and devise relevant digital marketing strategies that can help achieve desired results. Focusing on voice-driven e-commerce will be a top priority for marketers in 2018.

Video: This digital marketing tool will continue to hold sway in 2018. Consumption of video content has been increasing every year and the trend will continue in 2018. Millennials would be the most relevant to target via video content since this group is the biggest consumer of video content. Recent social media features such as Instagram Stories and Facebook Live have made video content even more alluring for the young generation.

Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about 1.1 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.

Sub-10000 finally a reality now: Angel Broking

NewsPatrolling.com: “A mounting concern on ‘Trade War’ between the US and the China started looming over rest of the world. This has clearly spooked traders’ community across the globe, resulting into massive sell off in the equity bourses. We are no exception to this and hence, our benchmarks had a huge gap down opening well below the important psychological mark of 10000. Some respite at lower levels trimmed some portion of losses to conclude the week tad below this important junction.

 

As far as direction is concerned, it’s no brainer; we remain in a ‘Sell on rise’ kind of market. But, since we are heading into the truncated expiry week, the ‘Expiry Factor’ will come into picture. For the coming session, 10060 – 10110 would be seen as strong hurdle. In case of a bounce back, any attempt towards this resistance zone is likely to get sold into. On the lower side, at least for this expiry, 9950 – 9900 would be seen as a crucial support area. But, if we have to take slightly broader view then we would expect lower levels of 9800 – 9700, which have been our target levels ever since we got trend reversal in the ‘Budget Week’.

 

For the coming week, traders are advised to keep a note of these key levels and should rather remain light on positions. During the week, we may see good trading opportunities in individual stocks and hence, one should keep focusing on such propositions.”
