Mongoose Bat..

 

 

What is Mongoose Bat?   THE MONGOOSE MMI3 CRICKET BAT is a cricket bat specifically designed for Twenty 20 cricket and is the first major redesign for over 200 years. The design is unusual in that the blade is 33% shorter than a conventional bat and the handle is 43% longer. The manufacturer claims that this provides 20% more power and 15% more bat speed and gives the batsman an advantage.     This kind of a bat is especially useful and lighter than the traditional cricket bat. Its blade is 33 per cent shorter than a conventional bat and the handle is 43 per cent longer. The decreased length of the blade helps to reduce the bat's weight while the long handle allows optimum reach to the batsman. The lightness of the bat helps in increasing the bat speed and allows the batsmen to hit the ball harder while batting. The change in the length of the blade does not affect the performance of the batsman in any way since it is the middle of the bat(the part which is located on the backside of the thick scoop of the bat)that is required for hitting the ball. On 11 March 2010, Mongoose launched its range in India with the announcement of MATTHEW HAYDEN as an ambassador.             THE MONGOOSE MMI3 CRICKET BAT is a cricket bat specifically designed for Twenty 20 cricket and is the first major redesign for over 200 years.

Honeywell to hire more in India

Honeywell International plans to increase its headcount in India to meet growing demand for aeroplanes and green fuel, which are the two key areas for the company. The automation and technology major, which has designed the cockpit for all U.S. space shuttles, had recently elevated Krishna Mikkilineni, President of Honeywell Technology, to its Global Executive Management Team, a move that signalled the American company's confidence on India


Over the past eight years, Honeywell India has grown from being a $50- million company with about 50 people, to more than $500 million in revenue and 11,000 employees. The company's area of operations include aerospace, automation, transportation and speciality materials, including the recently-developed green fuel that doesn't require cars to change their engines.

Ramalinga Raju's trial story looks bigger than scam

It seems that Satyam Computer Services' Founder B Ramalinga Raju is unlikely to come out of custody in the years to come. The CBI has presented 800 witnesses and submitted 160,000 pages of documents in the court.

It will take at least 800 days to examine 800 witnesses. The court has to record the chief examination of the witnesses, who would be later cross-examined by the advocates of the accused. With 10 accused in the Satyam case being represented by an equal number of advocates and if each of them wants to cross-examine every witness produced by the CBI, it will take at least one working day to complete the cross examination of one witness.

If we go through the court procedure, we get to know that Court works for five days in a week, and if we take public holidays into consideration, there will be not more than 225 working days in a year. This means that it will take nearly four years just to cross-examine the witnesses. Also Raju, who is currently hospitalized at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, is expected to read the 160,000 pages of documents if he has to defend himself effectively in the court.





It will take at least five minutes to go through a document page, understand it and instruct the advocates about it. At this rate, it will take 13,333 hours for Raju to go through the documents. Even if he manages to read for a minimum of 10 hours a day, it will take 1,333 days or over three-and-a-half years to complete the reading.


The government has set up a special court to expedite Satyam case proceedings. But if we take all these things discussed above into notice, it seems that the trial will not be completed in less than four years. Till now, it is not clear when the CBI is going to complete its investigation.

If we compare this case with Harshad Mehta and Ketan Parekh, who were involved in securities scams involving scores of companies, it seems that Raju is also not getting needed support from lawyers. Harshad Mehta and Ketan Parekh came out on bail in 107 and 53 days, respectively.
