They are usually engraved with the school's insignia, motto or any other type of symbol for the class along with the class' graduation year. They are made of usually inexpensive alloy although there are those that are actually made of platinum, gold and sterling silver. For many students, such rings are one of the only tangible reminders of what the class went through together. The responsibility of selecting a ring design as well as the metal to be used for the ring rests on the school administrators. The design is usually agreed upon by the graduating batch but the alloy to be used depends on the school's budget as well as that of the students who will be availing of the rings.GemstonesSome schools opt to engrave more than just the school's insignia on the ring. To make it look more elegant, you can have semiprecious stones in your school's colors placed on your class rings. Such embellishments may only be att

NEW DELHI: The new year is seeing its first fare war in the skies. Following GoAir’s flat fare of Rs 1,075 (including taxes and surcharge) on the Delhi-Jaipur route, another budget carrier SpiceJet is planning to slash fares to match the competition. IndiGo has already launched a promotional airfare of Rs 500 plus taxes across all sectors, albeit for a limited period. “We are already offering Rs 500 basic fare on various sectors. Keeping in mind the ongoing lean season, we may further slash it but no decision has so far been taken on this,” SpiceJet chairman Siddhanta Sharma said. “January-March is usually a not-very-exciting period as compared to the previous quarter,” he added.The airlines’ move is largely being attributed to overcapacity built up by them and people avoiding air travel due to fog-related delays. “In the first 11 days of this year, the growth in the aviation sector is in single digits. During this period, airlines have added 8% capacity to their fleet si

It won't reach theaters until December 7, but The Golden Compass -- which adapts the first installment in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy -- already has some people up in arms, and the author doesn't seem to mind one bit.Of course, Pullman is no stranger to controversy; his books have long been targeted as anti-Catholic by various media watchdog groups, and even though Compass director Chris Weitz took pains to whitewash the story's more overtly religious themes for the film, that hasn't prevented boycott threats from the Catholic league.Pullman made an appearance in New York last week, and MTV Movies was on hand to get his answers to questions about His Dark Materials and The Golden Compass. He didn't pull any punches in his responses:Pullman [described] how he finds the "Lord of the Rings" books trivial in their lack of asking big questions and doesn't find C.S. Lewis' answers to the big questions in the "Narnia" books satisfying.Daring to express a public opinion about

Promise her the world, and show her you’ll care for it as well. Gents, forget blood diamonds. To show your beautiful wife just how much she means to you, consider getting an earth-friendly engagement ring. There is so much controversy involved with mining diamonds, that a lot of couples have opted to skip the icey bobbles entirely. For the bling-thirsty yet globally conscious, there are alternatives! You won’t have to sacrifice glitz or contribute to the unethical treatment of miners thanks to San Francisco-based Brilliant Earth. The business was launched by Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg as a result of their love for each other and the Earth. Eric was stumped because he couldn’t find an ethical source for the dimaonds, so created Brilliant Earth as an alternative to the cruel industry. “All of our diamonds come from Canadian mines that follow environmentally sustainable practices and are committed to delivering high quality gems. Our well-established suppliers authenti

According to the western etiquette, a man presents an Engagement Ring to a woman when he proposes her for marriage and the woman’s acceptance of the ring indicates her consent. Thus it is customary for a woman, who is engaged to be married, to wear the Engagement Ring in the ring finger of her left hand. It represents their betrothal. According to an old belief, the Ring-Finger of the left hand has a vein – vena amoris, or the “vein of love” – that connects directly to the heart, making perfect for the Engagement Ring. In some cultures though, the engagement ring is worn on the right hand. The tradition is said to have started when Maximillan I of Austria gave the first diamond engagement ring on record to Mary of Burgundy in 1477. He had the ring commissioned to unite their two houses and make their marriage a unifying symbol to the country. Engagement Rings have evolved extensively over the years. The classic metal band now includes diamonds, gemstones, interesting shapes

My once beloved X-box 360 recently experienced the "Red Rings of Death", three red flashing lights experienced by millions of unfortunate victims of Microsoft's first to market strategy. Although my repairs are covered, I came out of the phone conversation no longer enchanted with the X-box brand.I don't blame the customer service reps for negative interactions, I blame the companies for lack of marketing acumen and leadership. Someone smart said "Every problem is a opportunity in disguise". Every customer support call is an opportunity to create good will and a positive experience with a brand. And yet often these brand interactions are outsourced or lack a strong strategy, resulting in loss of many valuable customers who take their life time value elsewhere. Although some people say "Customer Service is Dead"(Tom Asaker), I don't believe customer service is extinct. Nordstrom and Southwest shows us it is possible and not expensive. Customer service can be one of the greatest marketin
