Nepal Airlines Dornier 228 crashed at Jomsom Airport, crashed on the banks of Kaligandaki River.




A plane crashed while trying to land at a mountain Airstrip in northern Nepal early Thursday, injuring all 21 people on board.

Four of the injured are in critical condition, police officer Bhim Bahadur Chand said. No one was killed.

Nine passengers are Japanese tourists, and the three crew members and the other passengers are all Nepali.

The plane belonging to state-owned Nepal Airlines was trying to land at Jomsom airport, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) northwest of Katmandu, when it crashed on the banks of Kaligandaki river.

The injured were rushed to the local hospital, and those with serious injuries are being airlifted to nearby Pokhara town for treatment.

The area is popular with foreign trekkers visiting the Mount Annapurna area and Hindu pilgrims visiting the revered Muktinath temple.

Fifteen people were killed last May when a plane crashed while attempting to land at the same airport.

Six persons - plane's Captain Deependra Pradhan, co-pilot Suresh K.C, air hostess Santa Maya Tamang and passengers Govinda Pahadi and Japanese nationals S. Okawa and K. Chiyo received serious injuries. They have been flown to Pokhara for further treatment.

How to Earn Money Blogging

Blog commenting is a favorite method of backlinking, due to the popularity of blogs.  The amount of love Google gives to them, coupled with the lack of administration found on most blogs, makes them a good source of backlinks.  Blog commenting is the act of posting a comment on someone else’s blog and including a link back to your own site.  Google loves blogs and crawls them often for new content, so getting them indexed usually requires no effort on your part as long as the blogs are current.  Commenting on an old blog post from 2008 is probably not going to be found by Google.

The trouble with blog commenting is that many blog posts end up with hundreds of blog comments, which greatly reduces the amount of juice you get for the link.  There is also the ability of blog owners to mark their blogs as “No Follow,” which tells Google NOT to follow any links on the page. 

Blogs also get spammed to death with comments, due to automatic commenting software being used inappropriately.  Have you ever been to a blog and seen a blatant spam comment about Viagra or jewelry in the comment section?  Blog operators have to spend a lot of time administering their blogs to avoid this kind of spam, and many simply don’t have the time and ignore it.


Review Writing Potential

Review writing has a lot of potential in the online world because of following reasons:

A really awesome and well crafted review could make any product or service go viral & advertisers will love this.
Review writing is a great way for a blogger to rank products on search engines, drive traffic and make affiliate money.

Reason 1:

When an advertiser wishes for you to write and publish a review, the advertiser is looking for more than a back link that won’t give much ROI. You increase chances of getting more advertisers if you excel in review writing and can get the reviews ranked on first page of Google. Just imagine, which advertiser will be foolish enough to pass up this opportunity?

Reason 2: 

If you don’t have any advertiser to pay upfront, you should still do review writing to improve the overall value of your blog. Write reviews, get them ranked and earn affiliate commissions. Apart from this, well ranked reviews will continue to give you steady traffic.
On its own, review writing is a recommended way to monetize any blog. Advertisers will love to get their product reviews ranked higher and in the process, you get to earn dollars.
If you don’t have a blog, you can still do reviews as a ghost writer and sell it.

Review Writing Charges:

The cost of review writing depends on your writing and SEO skills. Don’t be blind to charge what other product reviewers are charging. Talk to a few review writers and understand the market. Moreover, you can research on freelancing sites like Elance, oDesk and Guru to see the kind of money clients are willing to pay to a ghost reviewer.

For you blog, the cost of review writing and ranking depends on your blog’s metrics (Alexa, PR and others) and the kind of value you have to review. Just to give you an idea, a PR 2 blog can ask for $20 - $100 per product review.

How to Get Hired?

Review writing is different from blogging in its purpose and writing style. If you think you have it in you to do paid review writing, you could get hired by:

adding an “advertisement” or “buy reviews” page on your blog.
use Facebook groups to offer review services.
sign up on programs like Sponsored Reviews & Links Vehicle.
be active on freelancing sites like oDesk, Elance, Freelance, People Per Hour and Guru, and actively bid on review projects.

Earning Estimate: $500 - US$ 15000 per month

Airports Authority of India filed two lawsuits against Kingfisher Airlines Ltd



State-run Airports Authority of India said Tuesday it has filed two lawsuits against Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. 532747.BY -2.19% in a Mumbai court, seeking 3 billion rupees ($55 million) of unpaid airport-usage fees from the now-grounded carrier.

One of the suits also seeks filing of criminal charges against Kingfisher because checks for 1.17 billion rupees were returned by banks due to insufficient funds in its accounts, Airports Authority of India Chairman V.P. Agrawal told reporters.



Agence France-Presse/Getty Images
A Kingfisher booking counter in New Delhi after its grounding last October; the airline is being sued by the state-run operator of 40 of the country's airports.

This 3 billion rupees it wants Kingfisher to pay is excluding the payments that the airline's banks had guaranteed, Mr. Agrawal said.

The Airports Authority of India manages 40 airports and controls air traffic in India's airspace.

A Kingfisher spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuits.













Kingfisher owes more than $2.5 billion to its lenders, suppliers, plane-leasing companies, employees, airport operators and the Indian government. The carrier is facing several lawsuits from its creditors.

At least 10 of Kingfisher's creditors—including ATR, BNP Paribas BNP.FR +2.02% and Rolls Royce & Partners Finance Ltd.—have petitioned the Karnataka High Court to shut down the airline and United Breweries (Holdings), a key shareholder of the airline and guarantor of its debt. The creditors want to sell the companies' assets to recover the money Kingfisher owes.

The airline's banks recently sent it a legal notice to take over the real-estate assets it pledged as collateral against loans. The banks also plan to invoke guarantees given by Kingfisher Chairman Vijay Mallya and its group companies.

Kingfisher has been making losses since its inception in 2005, first due to aggressive expansion—it bought India's then leading low-fare carrier and ordered Airbus 380 planes—which backfired as passenger traffic didn't grow as much as it was expecting. The airline was also hit by high interest cost on the debt it took to fund the expansion, other expenses and competition, especially from low-fare carriers.

It grounded its flights on Oct. 1 due to a strike by its employees over pay. The government later canceled its license and said it wouldn't let the airline fly until it produced a viable plan to restart operations

Kingfisher crisis:
Royal Challengers Captain Virat Kohli booed at Delhi Airport
By
Kingfisher Airline Pilots

Kingfisher Airlines employees, who haven't received their salaries for months, adopted a unique form of protest. They booed Royal Challengers Bangalore's Virat Kohli at the Delhi Airport on Tuesday. Virat is the captain of the team owned by Dr Vijay Mallya who also owns Kingfisher Airlines.

Kingfisher Airlines, once India's second-largest airline, is behind on salary payments and has grounded its fleet. Over 80 Pilots and 270 Kingfisher engineers have been on intermittent strikes, primarily over delay in payment of salaries.

Kingfisher has been saddled with a huge loss of Rs 9,000 crore and a debt burden of over Rs 8,000 crore, a large part of which it has not serviced since January 2012. Several of its aircraft have been either taken away by its lessors or grounded by the Airports Authority of India for non-payment of dues during the past few months. Kingfisher's net loss in 2010-11 was Rs 1,027 crore and it doubled to Rs 2,328 crore in 2011-2012. The Airline also owes money to 17 banks.

Bankers look to sell Dr Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines Ltd brand as NPAs dip




Stung by rising NPAs and lower profits, banks have initiated the process of searching for a buyer for the Kingfisher Airlines brand even as they start recovering some of their dues through sale of liquor baron Vijay Mallya’s assets.
SBI has valued the collateral of KFA at about R6,500 crore, excluding the brand, which falls short of their debt of around R7,000 crore. While some of the assets are being sold, SBI has started searching for a buyer for the Kingfisher brand, news agency agencies said quoting a PNB official.

It was not immediately ascertained how much the Kingfisher brand will fetch after the airline has been grounded.



Punjab National Bank is hopeful of recovering at least R60-70 crore from sale of Kingfisher Airlines’ assets, which, along with a faster loan growth and lower provisioning, may improve its bottomline in 2013-14, top officials said on Thursday.

State Bank of India, which leads the consortium of lenders, has already initiated winding-up proceedings against the beleaguered airline and recovered R800-1,000 crore.

"(Banks) have enough collateral like his house and personal assets. SBI as a consortium leader is looking into it. We are hopeful of recovering R60-70 crore," PNB executive director Rakesh Sethi told reporters.

Of the 17 banks’ total exposure of about R7,000 crore in Kingfisher, SBI's exposure was at R1,600 crore followed by PNB and IDBI Bank at R800 crore each. Banks have written off the loans as the loss-making airline failed to repay in time.
