Have you ever thought of trying a new business or which field of business would be the most difficult to enter ?? Hopefully you must have thought about it at least once, not only you but many people think about making big in this world but only some who have the patience and courage to go all in and make it big. Well we have 2 very such people in this post i.e. Caleb Bradham founder PepsiCo and  John Pemberton founder Coca-Cola.


PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are the 2 biggest beverage companies present in this world at this time. These mammoths gained their position slowly and steadily with very less sales, absence of today's refrigeration tech added to their difficulties, but they overcame all the hurdles that came in the way to become what they are.

There are many factors which make them the best of best and unbeatable kings some of them are :

1. They are simply everywhere, which literally means everywhere, even the places where government has no reach are not inaccessible for them. You can find their products everywhere in the remotest places to the metropolis. You can have a chilled coke or pepsi even a place where water scarcity is killing thousands.

2. The distribution network of these mammoths is also exceptional, and these are connecting the remotest places on the globe and as said you can have a chilled beverage in places where people are dying of thirst. They have enhanced their distribution to such a level that some of the African countries are dependent on them for medicines and vaccines in remote areas.

3. High Bottling cost has made it difficult for a noob to enter the market, as no one would invest such a huge amount in the market when the future is not promised.

4. Profit margins in the financial year 2016 for Coca Cola is 60.67% and for PepsiCo is 55.08%, this provides a strong base for investments and gain them trust of their investors by providing a return equity of about 29%.

5. At last, being each others biggest rivals have not made them loose each others respect, one such incident is when Williams, 41, of Norcross, Ga., Ibrahim Dimson, 30, of New York and Edmund Duhaney, 43, of Decatur, Ga., were charged with wire fraud and unlawfully stealing and selling Coke trade secrets, PepsiCo alerted Coca Cola of the deal and thus gained respect of their rival, "Competition can sometimes be fierce but must be fair and legal " said PepsiCo spokesperson Dave Dececco.

As quoted in the movie Rush (2013), "A Wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool learns from his friends".

In keeping with this site’s love of helping out with holiday plans, this is a list on the top 10 most dangerous places in the world – these are all places you might consider not visiting when planning your next holiday. Some of the items may be a little controversial, but you are, of course, free to ignore our advice and go anyway!

 

In this crime-ridden, ex-Soviet state, no longer does the government stuff their Armani suits with rubles, but the vandals and gangsters. The Russian mafia runs amuck, there are more gangsters than police, and a Russian is assassinated every 18 minutes, averaging 84 murders per day in a nation of 143 million. The nucleus of Russian crime is stationed in the Republic of Chechnya, a region within Russia just north of Georgia. Prostitution, drug trafficking, and underground restaurants are arbitrarily controlled by the Chechens. Foreigners are kidnapped more frequently due to the higher ransom allocated. Crimes towards include but are not limited to: pick pocketing wallets, cell phones, cameras, cash, and physical assaults. From superpower to Third World country, think tanks are beginning to speculate if communism really was the cure for Russia.


For anyone traveling to Brazil, it is not a matter of whether you get mugged, it is a matter of when! Grinding poverty still lives alongside incredible wealth in a country that is riding a wave of economic growth. But with prosperity, rates of crime have also soared. Street crime is rampant in parts of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo, and whilst many victims are left unharmed, having a broken bottle put to your throat for your bracelet is not pleasant. The incidences of “quicknappings” has risen in major cities. This involves being abducted and taken to an ATM to pay your ransom. If you can’t pay, thanks to mobile technology, your family is only a call away. Along with street crime, organized criminal groups have waged wars against police and public institutions that were unable to be bribed. Prison riots are brutally suppressed, drugs and narco-terrorism claim civilian casualties and if you survive all that – the piranhas are waiting.

Any nation described as the ‘rape capital of the world’ should be one to take extra special care in. Although rape had shown a declining trend to 113.7 in 2004, it increased in 2005 to 118.3 per 100 000. Another damning statistic for South Africa is its appallingly high murder rate. The 2010 World Cup host is consistently in the Top 5 list of countries by homicide rate. Most crime is confined to poor areas but it hasn’t stopped gated communities springing up all over South Africa and armed guards protecting wealthy tourist groups. Farming in South Africa has become one of the most dangerous professions in the world. The murder rate for farmers is 313 per 100 000 – about 8 times the national average. And like anywhere, sex can be very dangerous in South Africa, where more than 10 million people are infected with HIV.
This small, densely populated and poor nation has giant problems. A civil war between Hutus and Tutsis tore the nation apart between 1993 and 2006. A ceasefire was declared however most provisions have not been implemented. Mass murder and mayhem compete with environmental problems as the biggest headaches for the people of Burundi. The list of assassinated leaders is extensive, and control of the nation has changed hands numerous times in the last 50 years. Crimes committed by roaming gangs and armed children are risks for visitors. Muggings, carjackings and kidnappings await, so you are advised not to stop the car for souvenirs. Should you be injured or harmed while in Burundi, you may need to be well trained, as local clinics have almost no resources to assist you.


While murder, rape and robbery may not be a big problem in this part of the world, the hostile conditions are. Antarctica is home to some extreme weather conditions, with the mercury regularly dropping below -60 degrees Celsius (-100F) and winds tearing in at more than 100km/hr. If exposed to this weather for more than an hour, you will most certainly die. Antarctica has no hospitals, no food to forage and if you get lost, not a lot of hope. Stay with the tour groups. At least there is a McDonald’s at Scott Base if you manage to find it.

5. Afghanistan

This nation has for hundreds of years, been one of the worlds most strategically important and lusted after territories. However it remains one of the poorest, undeveloped and unstable. During the Soviet invasion, the Red Army planted more than 12 million landmines in Afghanistan. Hundreds of people are killed, shredded, and maimed each year due to these insidious devices. Following the Soviets came the Taliban, whose control meant women were banned from jobs and universities. In 2001, the United States overthrew the Taliban, but banditry, tribal rivalries and drug related violence has left the nation unstable. Suicide bombings are a constant threat, and nobody in Afghanistan is safe. The most lethal suicide attack occurred in Baghlan Province in November 2007, killing more than 70 people. Did I mention Afghanistan is also the worlds largest supplier of top grade hashish and opium?

Somalia is a failed state known for its anarchy, corruption, lack of government, and starvation. Travelers are warned against entering Somalia, the self-proclaimed “independent Republic of Somaliland” or even sailing near the Horn Of Africa. Pirates patrol these waters armed with AK-47s and will seize craft and hold crews to ransom. Inter-clan fighting has claimed thousands of lives in the north of the country, while territorial control in the capital, Mogadishu is carved up between many clans and warlords. Ethiopia attacked Islamic troops in Somalia in late 2006, resulting in hundreds of casualties and the internal displacement of thousands. Heck, if this place is too much for the Marines, what chance do you stand? Make sure your insurance is fully up to date.

Desperation, death and destruction are synonymous with Sudan. Terrorism is a mainstay of this nation, which has been controlled by Islamic military regimes since its independence. Some of the worlds most famous killers have earned their stripes in Sudan, finishing with degrees in car-bombing, rocket launching and genocide. Violence is rife in the Darfur region between government-backed militias, government troops and local insurgent groups. Sudan has been in open warfare with Chad partly due to the Darfur conflict. Since 2003, 230,000 Sudanese refugees have fled to eastern Chad from Darfur. More than two million have died during the 2 civil wars that spanned the last 50 years. Along with its bleak desert conditions, Sudan is one of the worst places on the planet.

Currently in the testing phase, the LCH TD4 is one of the top 10 secret weapons that India is developing. It is a multi-role attack helicopter that has a 20 mm cannon and the capability of carrying and firing rockets, missiles, and bombs. It can speed along at nearly 170 mph at an altitude of just over 21,000 feet. It has a 15.8-meter long body that holds a crew of two. It is intended to be used against slow moving aerial targets but it can be used in tactical strikes, reconnaissance and in many other support roles.

7. UAC II-214

The UAC II-214 is a Multi-role Transport Aircraft (MTA) that is being developed to replace the aging fleet of Antonov AN-32. Designed mainly for transporting cargo and troops, this MTA will travel at speeds of 541 mph with a payload of around 44,000 pounds including up to 150 passengers. It will have a range of between 2,000 miles and 4,400 miles depending on the weight of the payload. The UAC II-214 is due to be in service by 2018. Measuring in at almost 124 feet long, this MTA is far from being the biggest but it is one of the most sophisticated of its kind.

6. Tejas MK-II

The Tejas MK-II is a 5th generation light combat supersonic fighter jet with stealth capabilities. Currently still in the testing phase, this fighter will have a lighter composite body, better tactical striking ability, and more powerful engines than its predecessor. The Tejas MK-II will be able to fill multiple roles from reconnaissance to tactical and defense. The first flight is not expected to occur until 2019 and the Tejas MK-II is predicted to be in service by 2022. Until then there is still a lot of work to do to improve on the previous design which has been revealed to have had many shortcomings.

5. Brahmos 2

Brahmos II is a hypersonic cruise missile that is currently being co-developed in a joint venture between Russia and India. It is speculated that it will travel at Mach 7 and have a range of 180 miles. With the ability to be fired from ships, submarines, aircraft and land, the Brahmos II is a versatile missile that will strike fast. The Brahmos II will hit with a mighty force that will destroy hardened and buried targets such as bunkers and storage facilities. Other countries are currently developing hypersonic missiles but it is expected that the Brahmos II will be the first to be put in service. It is scheduled to be ready by 2020.

4. INS Vikrant

The INS Vikrant will be the first aircraft carrier to be built in India. Construction began in 2009 and INS Vikrant is scheduled for commissioning in 2018. It is 860 feet long and 200 feet wide and is expected to carry 30 fixed wing aircraft including the MiG-29K and the Tejas Mark II on her 10,000 square meter flight deck. The Ins Vikrant will have a top cruising speed of 28 knots and have a range of over 9,000 miles. The crew of 1,400 will be confident in the ship’s multi-layered defense systems as well as the Ins Vikrant’s offensive capabilities.

3. Agni 6

Expected to be is service by 2018, the Agni VI intercontinental ballistic cruise missile is one of the top 10 secret weapons that India is developing. Most of the details are classified but there are a few things that are known about the Agri VI. The missile will pack between four and six “multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles”, or in other words, the Agri VI missile will carry four to six other missiles that are armed with nuclear warheads. The missile is guided using the latest technologies and is expected to weigh 55,000 and 70,000 kilograms. Let’s hope they won’t need to use it.

2. Sukhoi/HAL

This fifth generation fighting aircraft (FGFA) is being developed in a joint venture between Russia and India. It is being designed to compete with the F-22 Raptor and the F-35. It will feature a 30 mm cannon to compliment its many missiles that will be hanging from its fuselage and wings. The two man crew can travel at an altitude up to 65,000 feet while reaching speeds of Mach 2.3. The project has faced delays but appears to be back on track. It is unknown when the Sukhoi/HAL will be completed.

1. AMCA

The Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) is another of the top 10 secret weapons that India is developing. It is a super-maneuverable multi-role fighter with stealth capabilities. Designed for ground strikes, bombing and intercepting, the AMCA will be able to perform a variety of duties. It has state of the art systems flight surfaces and controls and two internal weapons bays which can each carry four air-to-air missiles. It also comes armed with a 30 mm cannon. The AMCA is expected to have a top speed of Mach 2.5 and be able to operate at an altitude of nearly 60,000 feet.

The #NotInMyName protest is a demonstration scheduled in Delhi and several other cities across the country on June 28 (Wednesday) by citizens against incidents of lynching of Muslims and Dalits. The latest case to hit the headlines was the killing of 15-year-old Junaid Khan who was stabbed to death in Ballabhgarh, Haryana by a mob that mocked his skull cap and called him a beef eater after an argument over train seats escalated. Two of his brothers were injured in the incident.

Event organizers said they sought to question the pattern of the attacks on the minorities in the country and the silence of the government over the killings and cases of lynching of Muslims and Dalits. Participants have been asked to bring banners saying ‘Not in my name’.

From the actor's upbringing to his unbelievable "Avengers" paycheck, here are 10 crazy facts you probably don't know about Robert Downey Jr.



1. His father, Robert Downey Sr., is a writer and director whose basement-budgeted indie films earned an underground following beginning in the 1960s.



2. Robert Downey Jr. made his debut as an actor at the age of five in the film 'Pound' (1970), written and directed by his father, Robert Downey Sr. He played a sick puppy in this absurdist comedy about several dogs (played by humans) waiting at a pound (animal shelter) to be put to sleep.



3.  His father exposed him to drugs when he was six years old and he got addicted to them by the age of eight.



4. He grew up in numerous places around in the States and Europe: Greenwich Village, New York; Connecticut; Paris, France; London, England; Woodstock, Vermont; Santa Monica, California.



5. His drug-related problems increased from 1996 to 2001, leading to arrests, imprisonments and rehab visits. He was fired from the TV series 'Ally McBeal' after two drug arrests in 2000 and 2001. Downey Jr. began to rebuild his career after emerging clean and sober in 2003.



6. Downey's first leading role on the big screen was a charming womanizer in The Pick-up Artist (1987), a romantic comedy co-starring Molly Ringwald that was written and directed by James Toback.



7.  In 2004, Robert Downey Jr. released a music album titled 'The Futurist'. He has lent his voice to soundtracks in his films like 'Chaplin', 'The Singing Detective' and 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'. His most commercially successful number has been his rendition of the 1973 Joni Mitchell song 'River', which his character, Larry Paul in 'Ally McBeal', performs in the episode 'Tis the Season'.



8. Two of Downey's films, 'The Avengers' and 'Iron Man 3', have earned over 1 billion dollars each. He tops the Forbes list of Hollywood's highest-paid actors with an estimated 75 million dollars in earnings between June 2012 and June 2013.



9.  He earned his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor for starring as Charlie Chaplin in 'Chaplin' (1992), a role for which he learnt how to play the violin and tennis left-handed. However, he lost the award to Al Pacino in 'Scent of a Woman'.



10. He literally buried the clothes he wore in "Less Than Zero" (1987) in the back yard of his house as a symbol of leaving his brat pack image to start a new phase in his film career.

An equation is analogous to a scale into which weights are placed. When equal weights of something (grain for example) are place into the two pans, the two weights cause the scale to be in balance and are said to be equal. If a quantity of grain is removed from one pan of the balance, an equal amount of grain must be removed from the other pan to keep the scale in balance. Likewise, to keep an equation in balance, the same operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division must be performed on both sides of an equation for it to remain an equality. You may have studied many Equations but you never knew how these Equations changed the World.



1. Isaac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation : Newton's Law explains why the planets move the way they do, and how gravity works both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the Principia in July 1687, the Law of Universal Gravitation was the defacto reference equation for nearly 200 years until Einstein's theory of General Relativity replaced it.



2. Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity : Einstein's most famous undertaking is the generally accepted theory on the relationship between space and time. First proposed in the year 1905, the Theory of Relativity has both radically altered the course of physics, and deepened our knowledge of the universe's past, present and future.



3. The Pythagoras Theorem : This ancient theorem first recorded circa 570-495 BC is a fundamental principle in Euclidean Geometry, and the basis for the definition of distance between two points. Pythagoras Theorem also describes the relationship between the sides of a right triangle on a flat plane.



4. Maxwell's Equations : James Clerk Maxwell's set of equations describe how electric and magnetic fields can be altered, both by each other and by charges and currents. First published between 1861 and 1862, they are to classical electromagnetism what Newton's Laws of motion and gravitation are to classical mechanics.



5. The Second Law of Thermodynamics : Rudolf Clausius's law states that energy always flows from higher concentration to lower concentrations. It also states that whenever energy changes or moves, it becomes less useful. Formulated in 1865, it has led to the development of technologies like internal combustion engines, cryogenics and electricity generation.



6. Logarithms :  Logarithms were introduced by John Napier in the early 17th century as a way to simplify calculations. They answer the question, "How many of X number do we multiply to get Y number ?" Logarithms were adopted by early navigators, scientists and engineers. Today, scientific calculators do the job for us.



7. Calculus : The calculation shown in the definition of a derivative in differential calculus, one of calculus's two major branches. The derivative measures the rate at which a quantity is changing if you are walking 2 km an hour, then you will change your position by 2 km every hour. In 1600's Newton used calculus to develop his laws of motion and gravitation. 



8. Schrodinger's Equation : This equation describes how the quantum state of a quantum system changes with time. Developed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger in 1926, it governs the behavior of atoms and subatomic particles in quantum mechanics. Schrodinger's Equation paved the way for Nuclear power, microchips, electron microscopes, and quantum computing.



9. Information Theory : Information Theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the coding of information in the form of sequences of symbols, and the speed at which that information can be transmitted. Applications of topics within information theory include data compression and channel coding. Research in the field was also instrumental in the development of the internet and mobile phones.


10. Chaos Theory : Chaos Theory is a branch of mathematics that studies complex systems whose behavior is extremely sensitive to slight change in conditions. In essence, it shows how small alterations can lead to consequences of much greater scale. Chaos Theory has applications just about everywhere- Meteorology, Sociology, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Biology, and Philosophy.
