Death of Hugo Chavez propels Venezuelan oil production into the spotlight

The move by the late firebrand Venezuelan leader also erased from his country the skills required for exploiting the country's vast oil reserves. He should have let them stay – and taxed the companies heavily. However, oil executives should pause for thought before they book a flight to Caracas following Mr Chavez's death last week.

Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves in the world, but oil output has slumped by almost a third because of Mr Chavez's nationalisation of the industry.

At the end of 2011, the country held 17.9pc of the world's known oil reserves, compared with 16.1pc in Saudi Arabia and 11pc in Canada, according to BP's statistical review of world energy. However, it only represented 3.5pc of global production compared with 13.2pc in Saudi Arabia.

How did the Delhi gang rape accused die in prison?

Delhi's Tihar prison promises "safe and secure custody" of inmates, according to its website.

But the death in prison of a man accused in the gang rape and murder of a student in Delhi has raised questions about security in what is South Asia's largest prison.

Ram Singh's death is also a huge embarrassment for the authorities. "So, one can commit suicide under the watchful eyes of the Tihar Jail. Great!," tweeted writer and activist Meena Kandasamy.

The 55-year-old jail houses more than 12,000 inmates, although it has an official capacity of about 6,000. It is also India's most high-profile prison, where a number of prominent politicians and businessmen facing trial in corruption cases are being held.

Authorities say Tihar is one of the most secure and modern prisons in India. It is equipped with CCTV cameras, mobile phone jamming devices, scanners and metal detectors.

The sprawling campus hardly looks like a jail. Visitors are shown a model prison where inmates make bread, shoes, furniture, paper and clothing, among other things.

Last spring, the future for Viddy, a video-sharing Facebook app, seemed as sunny as southern California’s skies.

Based a block away from Venice Beach, the 30-person startup impressed prospective investors with skyrocketing user growth figures and won funding from them at a $370 million valuation. The tech press hailed it as the "Instagram for video," potentially ripe for a billion-dollar-plus buyout. Justin Bieber wanted to invest — and the pop star eventually did just that.

But this month, the company fired its chief executive, laid off nearly half of its staff and blamed plummeting user numbers on something it once believed to be its ticket to success: Facebook Inc.

"Everyone has known for years that Facebook can be a huge driver of traffic, but Facebook also frequently changes who gets traffic," said Brian O'Malley, a Viddy director and a partner at venture capital firm Battery Ventures, which is an investor in Viddy. "We certainly didn't anticipate the decline."

Viddy's dramatic reversal of fortune is a common tale among builders of software and services that rode the No. 1 social network to viral stardom, only to plummet when Facebook made one of its frequent changes in the way third-party apps can communicate with and solicit customers.

Investors and entrepreneurs say that the unpredictable way that Facebook cuts off apps or suppresses their presence has made them increasingly wary of building companies that rely on Facebook. Some believe Facebook could eventually attract regulatory scrutiny because of its ability to make or break companies that rely on its billion-strong base of users.

Douglas Purdy, Facebook's director of developer products, said the company boosts traffic to apps that prove to be popular and takes it away from those that overwhelm people with notifications or are otherwise abusive or unpopular. In the past year and a half, Facebook has cut down spam complaints by 90 percent, he said.

"We don't want to be in the business of king-making," Purdy said. "In the end, users decide what they care about, and they have control over it. If you're a great developer and you're good at sharing really good content, you're going to get traffic."

What is Your Marketing Strategy for your Product or Service?:

Markets, for example, are actual groups of potential buyers who can afford to buy your product or service. They have to have the need for your product or service and your customers have to have a desire to purchase your merchandise. Also, you have to know who your customers are. How do we create a need for buyers to buy our product or service? What is it about your "stuff" that serves what your potential customers need? These are the questions you must answer for your target customers so they will feel the need to buy from you. Find out by searching whom your customers are first to find out what they want and what kinds of questions they are asking. Find out what they have to have or must have. To do this you must:
1. Go to any search engine and type in your product or service and click on any of your competition.
2. Find out if they have a blog or forum and join. Don't post bad stuff just play nice. You must read the rules if any and obey them.
3. Spend about fifteen minutes a day on each blog and see what questions are being asked then answer them if you know the answer.

Kenyan capital Nairobi gets new train

A new commuter train has been launched in Kenya's capital, Nairobi - the first of its kind since independence in 1963.

The train will run between the city centre and the suburb of Syokimau, where Kenya has built its first railway station in more than 80 years.

The service is intended to ease traffic congestion in Nairobi, one of the fastest-growing African cities with a population of about three million.

President Mwai Kibaki was the first commuter on the new train.

He travelled back to Nairobi along with his officials, while ordinary passengers were banned for security reasons.

The first paying customers are expected to take the return trip to Syokimau.

Competition based on based on degree of product substitutability

Competition based on degree of product substitutability


There are Four Broad levels

1. Brand competition: A company sees its competitors as other companies that offer similar
products and services to the same customers at similar prices.  Nokia might
see its major competitors as Samsung and  and other manufacturers of mobile handsets
, rather than iphones.
2. Industry competition: A company sees its competitors as all companies that make the
same product or class of products. Thus, Nokia competing against all
other mobile handset manufacturers.
3. Form competition: A company sees its competitors as all companies that manufacture
products that supply the same service. Nokia would see itself competing against
manufacturers of all mobile handsets and , such as laptops, games , desk phones and VOIP.
4. Generic competition: A company sees its competitors as all companies that compete for
the same consumer dollars. Nokia would see itself competing with companies
that sell major consumer durables, foreign vacations, and new homes.
