KFC launch BBQ Rancher

February 6, 2012 By

Monday 13th of Feb 2012 sees the launch of KFC’s latest addition to their “non” fried range.. The “BBQ Rancher”

Almost 12 months ago we saw the launch of the Brazer, a griddled chicken breast which was available as a Burger, Twister and Salad. Whilst initial market test’s were promising the Brazer has slipped into oblivion with sales figures failing to deliver as expected. A hard to eat burger with too much bun, a relatively tasteless twister and at best a bland salad have all led to the plug being pulled on the Brazer. However after such a large investment it was inevitable that we would see another attempt at a griddled piece of chicken….

Welcome to the “BBQ Rancher”. A new Deli roll, BBQ Rancher fillet, New special BBQ Sauce, Plain mayo and Iceberg salad all slammed together is sure to set the taste buds tingling. The options are similar to the Brazer, a Burger, Twister and a Salad and will now be available to purchase as Box Meal with a piece of Original Receipe Chicken, side order, fries and a drink.

The BBQ Sauce on the Rancher is an all new recipe. Rumor has it is from a newly discovered recipe book which was written by the Colonel himself…. Believe what you will but this gives the BBQ Ramcher a real sense of heritage and brand ownership. It promises to deliver a great taste and I for one can’t wait to try it.

August 25, 2011 By

Globalshiksha.com proudly launches its ‘Student Counselling through Mentor Network’ on 23rd August 2011. Globalshiksha is now amongst the top education portal of the country and a hub for genuine and unbiased information about colleges and universities guiding students from different domain to shape their career since year the 2008.

“ Students believe in advise from the alumni than going to career counsellors as the pass outs  can actually guide them with their personal experiences. Soon after the launch 185 alumni from renowned institutions like IIM and IIT and other regional institutes registered with GlobalShiksha all set to guide the budding talents which indeed added one more feather in our cap“ says Founder and CEO Mr. Chander Prakash Garg.

‘Counselling through alumni network’  is an innovative idea for guiding around 10 million aspiring students looking out for admission in different colleges. This will definitely save students from getting trapped by highly paid career counsellors and colleges doing false marketing. A career counsellors will definitely not know about every college and will certainly not know about the internal issues and facts, again the student has to believe in the data given out by the colleges in their broachers or websites.

This is a platform where mentors get paid as well for their valuable time and advice. The students can login to www.globalshiksha.com and choose their mentors according to the college or exam they want to take up. They can schedule a session with the mentor and talk to them over the phone and can ask any number of questions they want and clear all their doubts.

Definitely the response of the counselling campaign is tremendously successful as GlobalShiksha claims to reach out to every single city and district in India and provide them cost effective solutions to their problems. A revolution in the existing education system or we can call it a mass awareness in saving the future generation in building a successful career, now every student can take a wise decision as he can get in touch with relevant people and mentors

Sneha Chakraborty the content head of Globalshiksha says “Our portal is not limited by online data available in web, we believe in genuineness of the content .We have successfully collected data for around 35,000 colleges and around 400,000 courses after a detailed research, we had to reach upto the masses for actual happeings in the colleges. Around 90% of the colleges do not have a website and students are unable to make a right decision and end up making wrong decisions which actually spoil their future as it is the most critical decision in a student’s life.”

Homeowners could benefit from latest fixed-rate deals

August 16, 2011 By

Now could be a good time to find a new fixed-rate mortgage deal, according to financial solutions company Think Money.

With rates on many fixed-rate deals recently falling – and with uncertainty over when the base rate could rise – fixed-rate mortgages could become an increasingly attractive option for homeowners.

In July, Yorkshire Building Society cut the rate on its best five-year fixed-rate deal to a market-leading 3.49%, with an arrangement fee of £995. Borrowers who don’t want to pay this much up front can get a rate of 3.69% with a £95 arrangement fee.

According to Moneysupermarket, the best five-year fixed-rate deals before this offered rates of 3.79% (Chelsea Building Society) and 3.89% (Nationwide). Even those deals carried lower rates than many of the two-year deals available only a few months earlier.

The recent fall in the interest rates available may reflect intensifying competition between mortgage lenders, says an expert at Think Money.

“Many economists now believe we won’t see an increase in the base rate until late next year, which may have made some mortgage lenders more relaxed about offering lower interest rates. The fact that some of today’s five-year deals offer better rates than some of the two-year deals available a few months ago suggests that mortgage providers are serious about their lending.

“This could make five-year fixed-rate deals a very attractive option for many homeowners. Only a few months ago, such low rates over such a long period would have been unthinkable.

“However, it is worth remembering that tracker mortgage deals still tend to offer lower rates than fixed-rate deals at any given time – so some borrowers may prefer to go down that route instead.”

“Ultimately, the right mortgage deal depends on the borrower’s circumstances – and as such it’s often a good idea to seek advice before they make a decision.”

Lower rates mean lower monthly payments for homeowners. Furthermore, it could reduce costs for those considering borrowing more on their mortgage for other purposes, such as debt consolidation.

“Consolidating debts into a mortgage can greatly reduce the month-to-month cost of repaying those debts, because they are essentially spread over the entire duration of the mortgage. And when mortgage rates are low, this could prove to be a very cost-effective way of dealing with debt.

“However, we advise anyone considering doing this to think carefully, as it will increase the size of the borrower’s mortgage. Furthermore, taking longer to repay the debt may mean the total cost is higher in the long run, and if for any reason they can’t keep up with their payments, they may risk losing their home. But as long as the borrower is sure they can keep up, it could make very good financial sense.”

Watch Cowboys vs. Broncos Game Live Online Preview – NFL Preseason

August 12, 2011 By

Are you a fan of the Dallas Cowboys or Denver Broncos? NFL football is back after the lockout and the pre-season schedule starts tonight! Usually pre-season games aren’t that exciting, but this game will help answer questions about the Broncos starting QB this year. We hope you enjoy this live preview of this football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos!

Although Tony Romo probably will not play for more than a couple snaps of this game, Dallas Cowboys fans are excited to see him back healthy after missing more than half the season last year. Miles Austin and Dez Bryant give Romo two quality receiving options and the Dallas offense should be explosive this season.

Cowboys fans are also looking forward to watching Rob Ryan’s new defensive schemes. Ryan was brought in to improve the Dallas defense which ranked near the bottom of the league in many categories last season. Most of the starting defensive players will sit out the majority (or all) of this game, but there is some pressure on Ryan to prove he can help fix the team’s problems on defense.

For the Broncos, this game is all about the quarterbacks. Tim Tebow was thought to have the inside track on the starting job during the offseason, but he has struggled in camp and at this point Kyle Orton looks like he will become the starter in Denver. If Tebow wants to try and gain the #1 job back, he will need to be impressive in this game. If he plays poorly, Orton may cement himself as the Broncos signal caller for the start of the 2011-2012 season.

The Cowboys and Broncos are both excited about the beginning of the preseason schedule. This should be an exciting game if for no other reason than it will help determine the Broncos starting quarterback for the regular season. If you are a fan of either team (or if you just want to watch some football for the first time in many months) you need to watch this preseason matchup online live!
