Start YOUTUBE Videos From A Specific Time

Simply grab the embed code and then modify it just a little to make the video start at the point you want. Here's how to do it:

Copy the YouTube code you want to embed from the video information column on the YouTube video page. Paste the code into your text editor to make the changes.

Add &start=180 to the end of the YouTube video URL in both places inside the embed code (replacing 180 with the number of seconds you want to start inside the video). This will cause the video to start playing from that many seconds when a person clicks play on the embedded video.

If you want to automatically start the video, you also need to add &autoplay=1 to the end of each URL as well, which will cause the video to start playing from the point inside the video as soon as the page loads.

Infosys says 2008-09 campus recruits to start joining July onwards - BUSINESS STANDARD

India's second-largest software exporter Infosys Technologies today said it has honoured all the offers it had made in the year 2007-08, and ready for the absorption of the next batch of campus recruitment starting from July this year.

 In 2007-08, Infosys had made about 20,000 campus offers to the students of various engineering colleges. However, the joining date of a few of these campus recruits had been staggered in the wake of the changed global economic situation.

"We have honoured the campus offers made in 2007-08 and all of them have joined the company this year. Last year (2008-09), we had made about 18,000 campus offers. They would start joining us starting from July following the completion of their degree in June this year," Nandita Gurjar, Sr. Vice President, and Group Head of HR, Infosys Technologies told Business Standard.

Meanwhile, Infosys has decided to extend the training duration for the newly joined employees to 26 weeks from the earlier 16 weeks. Gurjar said the company felt that the likelihood of the employees' getting work (project) was more with the increase in the training duration. Infosys spends close to Rs 750 crore every year towards providing training to the company's workforce.

The Bangalore-headquartered company, which employs over 100,000 people, has however decided not to all-together freeze the new recruitments this year. "Right now, we have slowed down on recruitments. We are still recruiting, but only in case of absolute necessity," S Gopalakrishnan, CEO of Infosys Technologies said.

Satyam Shocker

 Satyam chairman and co-founder B. Ramalinga Raju revealed that the company was involved in a fraud of about Rs.40 billion ($823 million) over several years.The sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was down 7.25 percent or 749.05 points to 9,586.88 points after opening higher than the Tuesday’s close of 10,335.93 points.

The Satyam scrip took a sharp dip losing 77.69 percent of its value to close at Rs.39.95 over its close Tuesday of Rs.179.10. A total of 14,30,09,827 shares of the troubled software company changed hands in Wednesday’s trade. 

At the same time, the broader S&P CNX Nifty index of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) was trading at 2,920.4 points, 6.18 percent lower.
