India-born beer baron Lord Karan Billimoria has put his Cobra Beer on the block for £200 million ($300 million). The mandate for scouting potential investors has been given to NM Rothschild, reports The Sunday Times. The decision comes months after Cobra's talks with world's largest spirits maker Diageo failed. The potential buyers likely to be contacted include brewers with a strong presence in the U.K. such as Carlsberg, Heineken, United Breweries, InBev and Molson Coors. Private equity funds are also likely to be approached.
The Sunday Times adds that Billimora is keen to "secure investment to take Cobra to the next stage of its development."
After the talks with Diageo failed, Cobra raised $22.5 million from its existing shareholders, including Billimoria. Billimoria owns more than two-thirds of the firm, and may now be looking to sell out. Other shareholders are US hedge fund Och-Ziff Capital Management, with an investment of $55 million, and some angel investors. Employees of the firm also hold stake in Cobra.
Cobra has retail sales of $266 million and is one of the fastest growing beers in Britain, though it is still to make a profit. Billimoria started with selling Cobra beer in 1990 in the curry houses of Britain and today 95% of Indian restaurants stock the beer in Britain. It was initially brewed in India and later got licence for Britain in 1997.
Cobra has growing foothold in the Indian beer market, which is a duopoly at this stage, with Mallya's UB and SAB Miller controlling more than 80% of the market. Cobra sold 4.1 million cases of beer worldwide last year, with 23% of its sales in India. Cobra recently acquired 76% stake in Iceberg brewery in Bihar and has bottling arrangements with eight breweries across the country.
The acquisition of Cobra by any of the international spirits players will give them a good foothold in the Indian market, one of the fastest growing beer markets in the world. The beer market in the country is pegged around 12 million hectolitres and is expected to double in the next five years.

"We're voting with our middle finger."
It certainly looks like that's what's happening in the primary elections, with Donald Trump piling up win after win. As the blowhard, bullying, ignorant billionaire, who everyone in polite company says they hate, appears to have nearly a insurmountable lead in the Republican presidential nomination race after this week's Super Tuesday elections and caucuses, it looks like there's a lot to this quote from a retired truck driver before voting in the South Carolina Republican primary last month.
No matter how much the Republican party itself says that this would be a disaster, with Mitt Romney joining in in a big way yesterday, Trump for president seems to be what folks want. The people voting for Trump have one thing in common: they're angry, angry at how government operates, and they like it that Trump "tells it like it is" and expresses this anger.
The Trump voters, many but notably not all of whom are white, blue-collar, non-college-educated workers, don't care about the usual conservative values. They don't want big military spending, and I read that many don't mind large government programs, as long as they benefit (they don't like others getting welfare). They want an outsider, someone angry like them, to go in and take charge.
Some commentators argue that this same anger fuels the same passion behind Bernie Sanders, with his anti-big money platform. This may sound like an unfair and nonsensical comparison (after all, isn't Trump big money?), but, in what is a truly alarming development, I have read about Sanders voters saying that, if he doesn't get the nomination, they'll vote for Trump if he's on the November ballot rather than Hilary Clinton, who they see as slick politics as usual.
All this is fascinating, and it's great theater. It is fascinating to see what happens when people say what they want, when things are not going the usual way – so much for Jeb and for Hilary's glide to the nomination (although that now be more likely) – and, for a Democrat, it's fun to see the Republican party coming apart at the seams. This is all quite heady stuff.
The trouble is that this is not theater. This is our society, our life, and it may be how we live in this country, and how others see us in this country, for the next four years. The people voting for Trump are certainly giving the finger – to themselves. In voting with their middle finger, they are like rioters, burning and looting their own neighborhood. Sticking it may feel good now, but it will cause great destruction and may well destroy their life.
It is not unlike poor people who agree that Obamacare is bad, even as it is making or can make their lives easier and better. Except, in that case, it's more rhetoric, and they are the only one getting hurt.

Addressing a growing demand for iconic, rarefied statements, father and

Hungarian drugmaker Richter Gedeon Rt expects its unconsolidated sales revenue, in dollar terms, to increase 10% in 2006, CEO Erik Bogsch told a press conference on Monday, after the publication of Richter's annual report for 2005.
Last year, Richter's unconsolidated net profit increased 17.9% to Ft 44.2 billion. Sales were up 15.9% at Ft 140.9 billion, helped by a 40% increase in sales to CIS countries. Last year's extraordinary jump in sales to CIS countries will not be repeated in 2006, Bogsch said, but sales to the region are still expected to increase more than 10%. He added that Richter had made early deliveries to its Russian unit of $5 million worth of ingredients in order to meet requirements for their inclusion on the list of state-subsidized medicines.
Richter projects a 10% rise in domestic sales this year, and a more than 10% increase in EU sales, in euro terms. The company expects its sales in the US to slip further, Bogsch said. Richter's financial profits from exchange rate changes in the first quarter of 2006 could be Ft 1.5 billion less than in all off last year, depending on the Ft/$ cross rate, Bogsch said.

Wedding and event designer Preston Bailey gives his expert advice in every issue of Event Solutions magazine. In the December/January issue, he answered a question about entering the wedding and event industry in Dubai. I thought his answer provided excellent advice not only for someone wanting to enter the business in Dubai, but anywhere in the world.
Here are 5 of the tips he offered to new wedding planners, I've added some comments:
1) Get experience
Even if you have a degree or certification in wedding planning or design, you need to get as much "real world" experience as you can. Plan events for family and friends, work as an intern for an experienced planner, florist, wedding photographer or caterer to gain insight into what brides want and how different types of wedding professionals work. The more you know, the more you have to offer to your brides.
2) Find out who the most successful planners are in your area
Learn what makes them successful and figure out how you can also be successful in your own, unique way.
3) Find out the price range for wedding planners in your area
What is is low in some areas might be considered high and out of the question where you plan to do business. Or the opposite might be true. You want to know the general price range so you don't price yourself so low that people think you give poor service, or so high that brides in your niche cannot afford you.
4) Attend bridal shows in your area
This will give you the opportunity to mingle with brides and meet new vendors. You will be able to see what products and services attract brides at shows and "eavesdrop" into their conversations to find out what interests them.
Attending shows will also give you an opportunity to decide if you want to get involved in a show and be an exhibitor in the future.
5) Work daily on creating your unique identity
In order to attract brides, you will need to be able to stand out in a crowd. Learn what your greatest strengths are and develop them so you become an expert who can help brides with your unique abilities.

And he went into the desert to find the answers.
He looked into the sky and began to ask,
and the days passed.
When no answers came
he looked across the land and asked again,
and the days passed.
When he realized the desert could not answer,
tears from the heart fell like spring rain
forming a small pool at his feet.
And he looked into the water
and watched the land drink of his suffering.
Then, the answers came.

Bradley Roby is projected as a first round pick in next month's NFL draft. Roby, a cornerback from Ohio State, was arrested on April 20th, after officers claim that he was discovered passed out behind the wheel of a car. They claim that it took several attempts to wake him, and when they did, he failed field sobriety tests.
I should point out that a person can be graded as having "failed" field sobriety tests when any objective person looking at the tests would think the person had passed with flying colors. More importantly, a person can "fail" these tests for reasons besides being intoxicated. For example, being sleepy.
Roby has since responded with a tweet stating that "I was not drunk" and attaching a picture of his breath test result. The result was 0.0008 — which is nearly zero alcohol in his system.
Such a ridiculously low BAC raises questions about the judgment of the arresting police officer, who was way off the mark. It also raises questions about the accuracy of field sobriety tests.
Hopefully, this miscarriage of justice will not affect Roby's standing in the draft.

Lining her pockets with river rocks, Virginia Woolf walked into the water in a woolen coat, wandering and waiting on death to come rushing over her, as if to her aid.
I replay deaths that preceded my life over and over again, like I'm watching for quarterback mistakes. I live in Monday mornings. I am louder than a referee.
Names and dates ebb, barely touching the shore where the reasons lie dry and futile in the sun. Plath in '63. Sexton in '74. Details cling to me and bloom like barnacles, waiting for Virginia Woolf, in some form or another, to pass by.
We're all trying for her in our digital streams of consciousness, struggling to traverse the distance separating wine from moonshine.
We are a million Mrs. Dalloways, deciding to buy the flowers ourselves.
"So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. "

Stay on target
Ever since announcing its partnership with DeNA a few years ago to produce mobile games, Nintendo has already brought some of its biggest franchises to iOS and Android devices. Super Mario, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and soon Mario Kart are all on the most ubiquitous pieces of tech out there. However, some true heavy hitters like Zelda and Metroid and Smash Bros. are still missing. That's why I was surprised to learn that Nintendo's next mobile is based on the fun and catchy but relatively B-tier puzzle game Dr. Mario.
However, after playing Dr. Mario World myself I totally get it. Nintendo wants to be the ones who give you the next Candy Crush Saga and reap in that kind of success. I don't know if this will do that, but if nothing else Dr. Mario World is a clever little mobile puzzle game.
Whereas most falling block puzzle game are about creating and clearing huge solid masses of blocks, Dr. Mario has players creating lines to target specific colorful viruses. And that's still the case in Dr. Mario World. But while that general concept remains, this mobile game plays surprisingly different from the NES original.
For starters, instead of dropping pills down, in Dr. Mario World you drag them up from the bottom. Nintendo says this helps visibility with one-handed touch screen play, but you do need to rethink your whole puzzle approach. You can drag pills side to side as they float up but you can't pull them back down. My best combos came from quickly dragging and T-spinning pieces of used pills over to new strategic locations before they floated out of the window. The game calls for a different kind of quick-thinking puzzle game reflex.
My demo also showcased several twists players can expect in the 200 levels. The limited number of randomized pills turns each around into a larger puzzle in and of itself. Trigger bombs or bouncing koopa shells to take out whole clusters of viruses. Clear as many viruses as possible with unlimited blocks like in the original game. It stays surprisingly fresh. And that's before you get into power-ups like stem cell-esque miracle pills that clear viruses of all colors or the special abilities of the different doctor and helper versions of Mario characters I can't quite reveal yet.
Unfortunately, Dr. Mario World is still a free-to-play mobile game. There's a multiplayer mode that might tear me away from Tetris 99 but it requires a pointless internet connection even in single-player. There are inconvenient, flow-halting hearts and stamina bars to worry about. And running out of medicine forces you to spend real money or wait to die, just like America's actual health care system. But it's not exactly Nintendo's fault the mobile game scene is the way it is. You people wouldn't even spend ten dollars on a pretty good Mario runner game.
Dr. Mario World is available on iOS and Android right now. For more on Nintendo check out these cool Nintendo Switch games.

The Fourth of July isn't a welcome holiday for many family pets. Each year, dogs and cats get scared, sick and lost as a result of the festivities.
The sounds and sights of fireworks may be a delight to the rest of the family, but often are enough to send an animal into a panic. They may react by hiding, running off, even jumping fences in their efforts to get away from the noise and commotion.
Even if you're celebrating at home, it's a good idea to keep your pet in a quiet room with the door closed. There is less of a chance that he will sneak out the door, or get sick from too many treats handed out by well-meaning guests.
Wherever your pet might be, make sure he is wearing a collar with identification. If he does get lost, check the neighborhood and your local humane society as soon as possible.

At this week's The Future of Travel event, moderator John Andrews ended his interview with UNWTO General Secretary Taleb Rifai with a fanciful question, "If you had a magic wand that you could wave and change one thing to improve travel, what would that be?"
His answer was immediate. He'd facilitate visas.
It was a fitting end to his remarks on the positive impact of the travel industry, which over the last 50 years has grown from 25 million to 1.1 billion international travelers.
As he explained, the travel and IT revolutions are changing the game, making the world smaller and helping many people to understand that this is our world and we're in it together.
When we travel we become better people, - @UNWTO SG Rifai #econtravel— IATA (@IATA) 24 March 2015
Yet visa restrictionsmake travel more difficult for many people around the world, particularly as the weight of travel shifts from the North and West to the East and South. With about 200 countries in the world, citizens of some countries only need visas to visit 25, yet citizens of other countries may be required to get visas in as many as 175.
The issue of visa restriction reappeared throughout the day. Wakanow.com founder Obinna Ekezieexplained his 3-week hassle to get a 5-day visa to attend the conference, and also how his company is working with different destinations in the Middle East and Caribbean to facilitate travel for Nigerians.
Fascinated by @ObinnaEkezie and his company @Wakanowdotcom. How can expanded visas help in Africa? Can Nigeria become Dubai? #econtravel— Sarah Gavin (@sarahwaffle) 24 March 2015
Tony Wheeler, Lonely Planet co-founder, closed the day with a humorous review of his experience as a traveler, including his trouble with visas in the US Virgin Islands and India.
"Visa madness is all over the world" says Tony Wheeler, co-founder of a 'small' travel guide company, @lonelyplanet. #econtravel— Nadia Pérez Rojas (@nadiaperezro) 24 March 2015
Removing red tape in travelcan have a significant impact. Our report, Shaping the Future of Travel in Asia Pacific, explained how the growth of free trade agreements amongst APAC countries was helping to remove barriers, and to increase travel.

It is an unusual story of a Gujarati boy who has shown strong faith in self, his parent's sacrifice and opportune help he got from unfamiliar persons that shaped his career.
Hasan Safin Mustufaali (AIR 570; CSE 2017) who just turned 23,has achieved what he desired in his first attempt in Civil Services Examination. He also cleared Gujarat PSC Class 1 simultaneously with Rank 34.
His choice was Literature of Gujarati Language as Optional Subject.
Career in Civil Service is my dream; says Hasan Safin Mustufaali, and I wanted to accomplish it in first attempt; I mean who doesn't. I really feel blessed I could do it in my first encounter with Civil services Examination.
Hasan Safin,a native of Kanodar, District Banaskantha (Palanpur), Gujrat completed B.Tech. (Electronics and Communication) from Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat in 2016 and immediately turned his attention towards Civil Services Examination preparation.
My desire was so strong and hopes of my parents, my family, friends and even many strange persons were with me who always believed in me and today I am experiencing what I wished for. Although, I am little short of my dream objective; still, cracking Civil Services Examination in first attempt is enough to boost my confidence and God willing I will reach my destination soon.
Coming to basic question; how post of 'IAS' become career aim - "Civil Services provides a prestigious career with highest amount of influence on ordinary citizens. For a person coming from middle class and who has gone through many troubles, this job provides opportunity to change life of mine, along with so many people who are placed in the same situation."
Next, I want to talk a little about my family. My father is a labourer and works as an electrician in my village. Mother is homemaker and also makes chapattis on order. She also worked as diamond labourer in earlier days. I belong to lower middle class family. My relatives helped me with my studies till college up to some extent.
My study expenditure for Civil Services Exam has been provided by a couple Mr Husainbhai and Mrs Jarinaben with whom I share no blood relation. But we share the Human relation which is above all. And that was the reason I could afford study in Delhi.
Biggest contribution from my parents is the strong value system which I inherited from them. They have taught me the right values not by preaching, but by living them. My younger brother Asnain has always helped me with my work.
Factors that contributed in success
I think a learning attitude is something which has helped me to enable myself to survive in this exam.
A person coming from vernacular medium and rural background could become someone who could survive in Old Rajinder Nagar (Central Delhi) is because of this attitude.
Right advice on Preparation-Plan
During my college years, I researched a lot for understanding the nature of this exam. It was like sharpening an axe.
Apart from that, I had this habit of meeting IAS and IPS officers whenever it is possible.
I got guidance from Mr. Tejas Parmar (2016 Batch IAS officer) from the beginning till date. I also got guidance for my interview from Mr Ansar Sheikh (2016 Batch IAS officer) and many other IAS and IPS officers.
Apart from dedication and hard work; smart and selective study helped me in my endeavour.
My coaching classes did provide me guidance and showed the path which I religiously followed. I believe that one should stick to one plan and give his/her best in that instead of following advice from each and everyone.
Secret of Success
Try to understand what UPSC demands from you. Being selective is very crucial. Revision is inevitable. And of course, you must have the strong reason for joining this exam which keeps you motivated.
Credit for success
My family, Mr. Husainbhai and his wife, my friends and of course, my coaching institute
To motivate future aspirants I have two things to share:
I think this is enough to tell that no matter what the odds are, determination and passion is the key to crack this examination.Last Update Sunday 4th August 2019

text: How Your Furnace Impacts Indoor Air Quality Posted January 14, 2015 We all count on our furnaces to keep us warm when it gets cold outside. But have you ever thought about the quality of the air circulating through your furnace and back into your house all winter? Winter keeps more than people trapped inside; it keeps air trapped inside too. And that can be bad news for your indoor air quality. There's good news: it's pretty easy to clean up your indoor air quality. In fact, it entails very little effort from you. Answer these questions and upgrade your indoor quality: Is your filter clean? The first step to cleaner air is filtration. Furnace filters catch contaminants so they aren't passing through your home (and your lungs). A clean air filter can save you and your family members from irritated allergies and other illnesses. Just checking your furnace filter once a month and changing it if it's dark or dirty can keep your system operating more efficiently and keep your air cleaner. Do you have the right filter? If your filter is the incorrect size and/or thickness for your furnace, you could be damaging your indoor air quality and the efficiency of your furnace—despite your intention to do the opposite. If a filter is too small, it can let unfiltered air pass through. A filter that's too big just won't fit. Follow Goldilocks' lead and find the one that's just right to escape these problems. Check the furnace manufacturer's manual to find the right size. Are you using a high-quality filter? You can find furnace filters that will do a basic job and offer you a medium level of filtration, and you can find higher-end filters that catch more contaminants. In general, spending a little more on a higher-quality filter will most likely pay you back, and offer greater energy efficiency and savings on energy bills. One of our top priorities at Toptec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical is keeping your air clean and comfortable. If you want to know more about how furnace filters can help your indoor air quality and which ones would be best for you, call us at 847-362-0262. Back To Blog

Kalamazoo, MI – The #1 ranked Huskies destroyed the senior night celebration at Lawson Arena on Saturday, March 2 routing the #10 ranked Western Michigan Broncos by a 8-2 score. This was the second consecutive Saturday the Broncos have allowed eight goals having been defeated by the identical score by Colorado College last Saturday. Fifteen SCSU players hit the scoreboard with Blake Lizotte leading the squad with two goals and one assist for three points. Seven different players scored for the Huskies as they racked up their most lop-sided win over the Broncos since an 11-1 thrashing on November 14, 2015 at Lawson Arena. The win continued an undefeated streak of eight games and the Huskies have gone 11-1-1 in their last 13 games. The Huskies overall record improves to 25-4-3 overall and 17-2-3 in the conference as they head into the final weekend of the regular season vs second place UMD.
Period One
The Huskies picked up where they left off in period three on Friday scoring three times on seven shots for a 3-0 first period advantage. Jacob Benson got the Huskies on the board 2:38 into the contest with his fourth goal of the season with assists to Jon Lizotte and Jake Wahlin. It was actually a pretty good offensive period for the Broncos as they outshot the Huskies 14-8 and had consistent pressure on the Huskies for most of the first period. Jeff Smith who got the start for the Huskies was up to the task turning aside a number of solid opportunities for WMU in the period. The Huskies took a two-goal lead at 12:54 on a shot from the top of the right circle by Luke Jaycox (Walker | Benson) for his second goal of the year. Dawson Dipietro couldn't convert on a breakaway shooting it wide at 14:18 and Paul Washe missed an opportunity in close as well with 3:43 remaining in the period. Ethan Frank couldn't close on a breakaway at 17:20 but the Huskies did 29 seconds later on a goal by Blake Lizotte (Jackson | J Lizotte) at 17:49. Lizotte attacked the WMU zone from the right wall and lifted the puck over Gorsuch for a 3-0 SCSU lead. Gorsuch was relieved and Ben Blacker inserted for the Broncos. WMU outshot SCSU 14-8 and there were no man-advantage opportunities in the period
Period Two
Western Michigan's defense had a total meltdown in period two with the Huskies adding four additional goals to take a 7-0 lead. However, it was WMU that had a golden opportunity 4:26 into the period as Ben Blacker, the WMU goaltender hit Hugh McGing with a long stretch pass and WMU had a three on one but Smith got a piece of McGing's shot. The fireworks then started with Blake Lizotte (Ahcan | Perbix) who scored his second of the game at 9:14. Lizotte beat Blacker with a hard shot from between the dots for a 4-0 SCSU advantage. Next, at 13:09 Sam Hentges (Brodzinski | Ahcan) got on the board with his eighth of the season. He grabbed the puck along the left boards and carried it into the WMU zone beating Blacker with a quick wrist shot from the left circle. One minute and seventeen seconds later, Nick Poehling (Wahlin) scored on a play nearly identical to the Hentges goal. Poehling possessed the puck along the left wall and beat Blacker with a wrister from just outside the left circle for his fifth goal and a 6-0 SCSU lead. Finally, Jack Poehling (R Poehling | Jaycox) wrapped up the scoring for the Huskies in the period with his ninth goal of the year at 14:59. Ryan Poehling took a shot from the high slot through traffic and Jack Poehling converted the rebound for a 7-0 Huskies lead. Shots on goal were even a 11-11 and the Broncos were 0 for 2 on the only power plays of the period. Blacker was given the hook after the Jack Poehling goal and Trevor Gorsuch was re-inserted for the final 5:34 of the period.
Period Three
Down 7-0 heading into period three, Western Michigan replaced Gorsuch with their third goaltender, walk-on Will Massey for his first-ever game action. Western finally got on the scoreboard at 1:39 on a goal by Dawson DiPietro. Dipietro got some separation on the SCSU defense and slid the puck under Smith for the Broncos first goal of the night and at the same time erasing Smith's shutout. The Huskies added another goal midway through the final period by Patrick Newell (Lizotte | Jackson) his 17th of the season and second of the weekend for a 8-1 SCSU lead. Lizotte made a nice pass through the slot to Newell who one-timed it under the crossbar from the right circle. The SCSU defense got beat once again with 4:54 remaining as Wade Allison charged the net after snaring a pass from Colt Conrad and he performed a nice backhand to forehand move to beat Smith for the 8-2 final. The Broncos outshot the Huskies 15-9 in the period, SCSU was 0 for 1 on the power play and WMU was 0 for 2.
"We were able to bury our chances early" said Blake LIzotte who scored two goals. "that led the way for the rest of the night. After winning the Penrose, teams thought we would come in and have a little lull. Our goal was to come out and not do that. Coach Larson preached all week to keep up the intensity and not let off the gas pedal."
Game Notes
Western Michigan outshot the Huskies 40-28 for the game and 80 to 54 over the weekend series. In a poor night for the WMU goaltenders, they allowed eight goals on 28 shots. Starter Trevor Gorsuch was relieved in period one after allowing 4 goals on 7 shots. Ben Blacker struggled as well allowing 3 goals on 10 shots. Gorsuch was re-inserted to finish off period two and he allowed another goal on four shots. Third period netminder, Will Massey turned aside eight of nine shots allowing one goal. SCSU starter Jeff Smith stopped 38 of 40 shots on goal in earning his sixth win of the season.
Neither squad had any success on the power with the Huskies scoreless in two opportunities ad WMU in three power plays. The Huskies blocked 10 shots while WMU blocked 3. The Huskies were dominated in the faceoff circle 31 to 19 by the Broncos.
Robby Jackson (0-2-2), Jake Wahlin (0-2-2), Jack Ahcan (0-2-2), Luke Jaycox (1-1-2), Blake Lizotte (2-1-3), Jon Lizotte (0-2-2) and Jacob Benson (1-1-2) all had a multiple point night for SCSU.
Stars of the Game: #1 B Lizotte (SCSU) #2 Smith (SCSU) #3 Allison (WMU)

A Survey on the Transition of Old Classical Animation and New Digital Animation
As far as technological advancement is concerned, many things in life shift from one stage to another and also methods of doing things change from one to another depending on the simplicity and the efficiency of the methods. In the animation industry, advancement in technology and techniques of handling animation also cause transition from one form of animation to another due to the suitability and effectiveness of the intended purpose.
The old classical animation majorly entailed physical design and development of these animation on physical medium. However, with the advent of computer animation design, many traditional techniques have been put aside. This is because, the traditional animation or rather the old classical animation had many disadvantages which hindered efficient operation in their development. The development of digital animation has come along with many advantages and improvements that has led to many industries to do away with the old animation mechanisms to new animation techniques. Consider some of the following merits are the sole reasons for the transition that took place.
Firstly, the transition from old classical animation to digital animation happened because the invention of the digital computer animation led to the reduction of tedious jobs and calculation that were done by humans and consumed a lot of time. Additionally, many challenges and difficulties that were met in old classical animation like lighting and calculation involved are currently done by the computers.
Additionally, the transition from old classical animation to the new digital animation was geared by the fact that the computer animation has the capacity to clearly outlay many features that were distorted on the real life old animation. For instance, the surface of the sun or the bottom of a borehole. Additionally, the fine arts that were destroyed by the external forces eg man, natural calamities, through the computer animation, they can be regenerated and even their former glory restored.
In a nutshell, old classical animation was better but the new digital animation is best. Basing on some of the merits of the new digital animation, it can be clearly seen that the new digital animation has many advantages compared to the traditional one. As a result, it can be said that the transition from the old classical animation to new digital one was worth the move. Therefore, with enough confidence, we urge you to click the contact us button for high quality new digital animation films and clips that suit your work and your desired purpose.

Slow cooked tender chicken strips, vegetables and pineapple chunks in an easy homemade sweet and sour sauce. The kids will love it!
It's turned a bit chilly here in Cornwall over the last few days, and when the weather turns cold, I turn to my trusty slow cooker for meal inspiration. This yummy sweet and sour chicken recipe is made in the slow cooker, but the sauce is finished on the hob to get that beautiful glossy sheen. It really is very easy but more importantly super tasty.
I love my slow cooker (I think I might have mentioned that before!). Such little effort needed for great tasting food in return. However, I've always had a bit of an issue getting a sweet and sour sauce just right. When I've made it in the slow cooker previously, it's turned out a bit watery (still tastes great though). This time I decided to reduce the sauce on the hob with a cornflour paste and a bit of sweet chilli sauce, to help thicken it. It made a huge difference to the finished dish and was well worth the extra 5 minutes of effort just before serving up.
Tried and Tested Slow Cooker Recipes
Before I let you in on the secret recipe, it's probably a good time to tell you that I have lots more slow cooker recipes on the blog. All equally yummy and take just minutes of preparation. Here are some of my favourites.
Step By Step Slow Cooker Sweet & Sour Chicken
Back to the recipe and this slow cooker sweet and sour chicken couldn't be easier to make. Firstly, place your chopped veggies at the bottom of the slow cooker basin. You can use any veggies you like, but I used carrots, peppers, onions and garlic. Keeping it simple for the kids is the way to go...unless you have very unfussy kids.
Then cut the chicken into bitesize pieces, coat in a little flour and place into the basin on top of the veggies.
The sweet and sour sauce is made from a mixture of cider vinegar, soy sauce, tomato puree, sugar, pineapple juice and stock. Just mix it together in a saucepan before pouring on top of the chicken and veggies.
Once everything is in, pop it on low for between 6 - 8 hours and add the pineapple chunks right at the end (to stop them turning to mush). As I mentioned before, once it's cooked I remove the chicken and veggies to a plate and pour the sauce into a saucepan, adding 3 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce and a paste made from cornflour and water. Whisk the sauce over a medium high heat until it comes to the boil and starts to thicken. Then you just continue to cook it until you get your desired consistency.
Thickening GranulesIt's worth mentioning the thickening granules I sometimes use in place of cornflour, to thicken sauces. You can usually find them by the gravy and stock cubes in the supermarket. You just add the required number of teaspoons based on the volume of liquid you have and just like magic it thickens up almost instantly. If you see the thickening granules when you're next in the supermarket, I'd definitely give them a go!
Top Tips For Making Slow Cooker Sweet & Sour Chicken
- If you like your food hot, add a chopped red chilli along with the vegetables.
- The recipe can be easily doubled to feed a crowd.
- Alternatively the sweet and sour chicken freezes well too, so why not make double and freeze half for another day?
- Make it veggie by omitting the chicken and adding extra vegetables.
- Serve the sweet and sour chicken with long grain rice.

Welcome to Primary 1
I can't believe it's the end of January already and the snow is finally here! The children had a fantastic time at Naver on Wednesday playing in the snow and building snowmen.
It looks like Primary 1 are going to have an exciting term ahead as couple of weeks ago we received a letter from a friendly Dragon. He told us that his home, Fairyland, is disappearing as not enough children are reading Fairy-tales. Primary 1 have agreed to read lots of Fairy-tales and help re-build Fairyland for Duncan the friendly dragon. We already have a beanstalk and magic beans for Jack and have designed shoes for The Elves and the Shoemaker.
If you haven't already, you will soon have Duncan's baby Dragon, Danny to stay for a couple of nights. The children are very excitedly telling me all the things that they could show Danny.
If you have any worries or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch with me by either popping a note in your child's pack or making an appointment with the school office.
Thank you in advance for your support this year,
Miss Catherine Taylor.

While I am waiting yielded and still.*

Derek Cianfrance writes and directs this unflinching portrayal of a once-loving relationship in freefall. When Cindy (Michelle Williams) and David (Ryan Gosling) first met, they were passionately in love - but over their five years as a couple they have grown apart. Boredom and disenchantment come to the fore as they fumble their way through the sexless emotional vacuum of their humdrum life in rural Pennsylvania; looking helplessly back to the days when life still seemed filled with excitement and romance.

How to add any software in hirens boot cd
Posted 12 November 2013 - 12:56 AM
A couple of comments.
First off, what and where are you trying to add? HBCD already has instructions on how to "remaster" the CD to add to it. If you mean to add to the "mini-XP", then that gets into an area where you are dealing with copyright code and something against current laws (at least in the USA). HBCD doesn't have Microsoft's permissions to do what they are doing. laws in your country might not apply...
there is also a thread here (just do more google searches http://reboot.pro/to...-customization/
While there is even scripts for some of the projects here that can make use of HBCD, they do so in a way that skirts arount that issue by not including the offending code...
But if you can be a lot more specific, (i.e. what exactly you want to add, and how you would access it), maybe someone can give you some pointers.

Game of Thrones Theory: The Secret Behind the Symbols
The mysterious recurring patterns in Game of Thrones bear a striking resemblance to symbols of the Golden Ratio.
Film & TV explained
The mysterious recurring patterns in Game of Thrones bear a striking resemblance to symbols of the Golden Ratio.
What causes the citizens of the Game of Thrones world to not technologically advance? Most likely their lack of education.
Game of Thrones' universe can be hard to accurately translate to real-world terms, but George R. R. Martin says Westeros, the hub of most of the story's action, is about the size of South America.
Through the use of allegorical real-life and fantastical villains, Guillermo Del Toro highlights the crushing impact that Francoist Spain had on the freedom and imagination of its citizens.
Now that winter is here, what can we expect for Seasons 7 and 8?
The "Game of Thrones" confirmed a major fan theory and other predictions, fueled more theories and ramped up momentum for Season Seven.
The Battle of the Bastards was based primarily on the Battle of Cannae during the Second Punic War, but cited other sources as well.
The camera work in Battle of the Bastards reveals key insights into the characters of Jon, Ramsay and Sansa.
A who's who guide to the fantastical world of "Once Upon a Time."

Everyone who knows me will agree on one BIG truth: I am loud! There is no denying it! It is just part of who I am. I come from a loud family. I have always been loud. I am loud when I talk, when I laugh, when I sing, and probably even when I sleep. A sweet Christian sister once tried to make it sound nicer by explaining that my voice just carries well. All of this, while true, is something I often take for granted. Being one that is easily heard is something I do not think of through a typical day.
The ability to speak, to make myself known and express my ideas is something I do not typically have to worry about, at all! However this weekend, for whatever reason, I have lost my voice. I now realize how hard it is for this loud momma to be without that method of communication. To have something that is such a part of my person be taken away, even temporarily, is difficult!
When mommy can't talk mommy can't give instruction, extremely difficult problem for a homeschool mom! (It is very hard to give a spelling test when you sound like a cross between Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.) Mom can't call from one room to another to get her family's attention. Mom can't discipline like normal. Mommy can't sing her babies to sleep. When my voice failed, I realized how much I really need to be heard!
One thing I love to do is sing. My favorite part of worship to God is through song and currently that is not an option. When anything above a whisper brings pain, it is hard to belt out the notes to any song. Visiting a local congregation for their gospel meeting last night I tried so hard to join in worship to my Lord, but strain as I might, it was not happening. I continued to sing in my heart, but I was not able to sing with my voice.
I believe God in all His wisdom and glory understands moments like this, and how difficult it is to be stripped of what we consider normal communication. When giving instruction to the New Testament Christians concerning worship, Paul wrote "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord," (Ephesians 5:19). God desires us to sing His praises, yet He also made accommodations for when that isn't an option. Last night I was singing and making melody in my heart to Him. No one else in the building may have heard the words, but I know and trust God heard them loud and clear!
God doesn't exclude those without a voice. These past few days one verse in particular has come to my mind many times.
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!" Psalm 150:6
God ensures that no living person will be excluded with that statement. As long as there is breath in us, in me, let us always give praise to God in our hearts and in our lives! Let us praise Him out loud or so quiet that only He can hear!
I wish everyone a blessed day!

Cremation niches are available in Llano Cemetery's Garden Columbarium. These natural granite niches provide a beautiful and permanent memorialization option, and they are very affordable. As cremation increases in popularity, more people are choosing community columbaria as a final resting place for the cremated remains of their loved ones.
What is a Columbarium?
The term columbarium originates from ancient Roman structures that were created with compartmentalized roof structures. While those chambers may have been intended to house birds, today's modern columbarium houses cremated remains. Most echo the compartmentalized design of early buildings, with walls of compartments to hold individual urns. Those compartments are also known as niches.
For interment in a columbarium, you'll need an urn. These decorative, personal containers hold cremated remains, and they can be personalized to honor the individual's legacy. During interment, the urn will be placed into a niche. In some cases, two urns can be housed within a single niche.
Reasons to Consider the Community Columbarium
If you are considering placing an urn inside of a community columbarium, there are several benefits to consider:
As you consider the end-of-life options for yourself or for a loved one, be sure to gather all information needed to make the best possible decisions. If you are unsure whether cremation and a community columbarium is the right choice, give us a call to learn more.

The Fairy Queen
—A Fantasia in the Forest
This is a poster and programme design for the Royal Irish Academy of Music's production of Henry Purcell's The Fairy Queen. RIAM requested a poster that told the story of the opera whilst capturing the attention of a young audience. The opera is known as 'A Fantasia in the Forest' so scenes of such that tell the story are depicted in droplets which cling to a wall. These are droplets of purple magic love potion which Puck, the nymph, sprinkles over the flowers and players entrancing them under a love spell. They represent and offer a mirror into the fantastical world all of those under the spell experienced when they come into contact with the magic potion.

AN OXFORD man who struggled with depression is calling on others to seek help at a time when cases of suicide are on the rise.
Official statistics published last week reveal that the suicide rate went up significantly last year in England and Wales for the first time since 2013, with men representing three quarters of the total.
Suicide rates in Oxfordshire are lower than the national average and between 2016 and 2018 there were a total of 155 deaths by suicide in Oxfordshire. Of these, the county council said, 126 were men.
To mark World Suicide Prevention Day Oxford man Erochsia Joseph has opened up about feelings of isolation and what helped him through his darkest times.
READ ALSO: Regularly delayed county council Access to Headington project will only be finished next MARCH - and cost stands at £16.7m.
The 37-year old plasterer is now encouraging other men to speak out and get help at a time when suicide is on the increase.
Speaking of his experience he said: "When I was younger no-one spoke about their feelings and definitely wouldn't admit to feeling depressed, so I never spoke about it I just kept it all in, bottled up.
"As I got older I realised I wasn't the only person that felt like this.
"A close friend of mine, who I used to play football with, recently died by suicide and it has had a massive impact on the community.
"This is the main reason I am speaking out to share my experiences but also to encourage people to talk to someone and don't keep it bottled up. "
Mr Joseph said he knew something was wrong when he felt like he couldn't be bothered to socialise or engage.
He said: "I had no motivation, I had lost my appetite and no love for the activities and things I usually enjoyed, I felt in a really dark place. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what.

"I had been feeling this way for a while, but it was getting worse. I was working a lot and had been burning the candle at both ends, I felt exhausted.
"I knew I had to speak to someone as I didn't know why I felt like this, but something was wrong, and I didn't want to feel this way.
"I eventually spoke to a couple of people that were older than me, people that I trusted. They signposted me to various places including Talking Space[s] and suggested talking to my GP."
When he got professional help, he was diagnosed with depression and started talking therapy with local service Talking Space.
With support from friends, family and Oxfordshire services he says he has now started the journey to getting better.
Oxfordshire County Council is now hosting a survey asking residents across the county what they think about suicide prevention servies.

Darien High senior studies dwarf planet's rotation
When Yasi Owainati was younger, she thought she wanted to be a journalist or involved in the language arts in some fashion, but in the back of her mind she was always drawn to the stars.
Owainati has changed course to tackle the hard sciences, and now the 17-year-old Darien High School senior will be considered a second author on a paper published by Dr. David Rabinowitz, an astrophysics professor at Yale University, because of a research project she worked on this summer.
Owainati has been enrolled in the independent research class along with more than a dozen other Darien students. The goal, she said, is to make contact with a potential mentor at a university and conduct their own independent research.
Owainati's cousin, who received her doctorate in astrophysics from Columbia University, has had a significant influence in her life.
When it came time to consider what she wanted her research focus to be, Owaitnati was looking at planets outside the Milky Way solar system, but realized she needed to find a more practical focus that would allow her to conduct research in a laboratory.
So she refocused on the solar system.
"To start, we thought we were going to be studying this asteroid," Owainati said. "Then (Rabinowitz's) research steered away and I steered with him."
The two focused on the dwarf planet Eris.
Eris' known history dates to 1930, when Pluto was discovered and dubbed the ninth planet of the solar system. However, Pluto has very different properties than all the other planets in orbit around the sun, which sparked questions about whether it could be considered a planet, Owainati said.
Then, in 2005, Eris was discovered outside of Neptune's orbit. That discovery prompted a re-evaluation of what it means to be a planet, Owainati said.
Scientists got to work studying the dwarf planet, including clarification of its rotation period. The results were not definitive.
Owainati's work with Rabinowitz focused on determining Eris' rotation period. The two used data that had been accumulated over a four-year period and analyzed the light reflections off Eris. As a planet rotates, light reflects off the surface at different intensities and wavelengths.
"If you can measure that, you can get a pattern," Owainati said.
Owainati's job was to reduce and categorize the data to establish a pattern, she said. At first, she received a lot of guidance from Rabinowitz.
"As I got further into it, I put my own input in," Owainati said. "I considered which stars I thought would be helpful and got rid of data points that wouldn't be helpful or would skew the data."
Owainati's research was unique compared to the other students' research, which primarily focused on biology or medical research.
Physics "isn't a field a lot of girls get into," Owainati said. "I really like math and the application of all of it."
One of the physics classes Owainati is enrolled in this year is equivalent to a second semester of a college-level physics class. She is the only female student in the class of seven.
Owainati plans to continue studying science -- specifically, engineering -- in college.
She found her experience over the summer to be beneficial, including the independence that comes with taking the train to New Haven every morning and taking the shuttle bus to the lab and more. But what helped was seeing some of her classmates every day doing the same thing.
"The coolest thing was seeing young kids get into something complicated," Owainati said.
Along with Owainati, 11 juniors and 10 seniors conducted independent research during the summer on topics ranging from canine cognition and marine biology to cancer research and the pathology of bones.

Doctors, nurses, sailors and U.S. Marines set up an emergency field hospital Monday in San Francisco as part of a Fleet Week drill to respond to a catastrophic incident.
In this case, the exercise was done in preparation for an earthquake. But, in the wake of the tragic events that took place in Las Vegas late Sunday night, many questions focused on handling victims of a mass shooting.
Dr. Christopher Colwell, director of emergency medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital has been part of an emergency response to two mass shootings in Colorado. He was called out to treat the victims at Columbine High School in 1999, when two students gunned down 12 classmates and a teacher before taking their own lives.
Thirteen years later, Colwell was on duty the night James Holmes opened fire in the Aurora, Colorado, theater.
"So I had a chance to see some of these events unfold and had a real opportunity to learn lessons for how we can be better prepared for events like this," he said.
Colwell had some ideas on how to rethink the way we respond to disasters. Sending ambulances to the scene and then transporting hundreds of victims to hospitals doesn't work if it ends up overwhelming the emergency rooms, he said.
"We just simply transplant the disaster, which is what we've done across this country," he said.
For starters, he'd like to see alternative care sites identified throughout the city, where resources and people could be sent to handle cases closer to the scene.
"Save the hospitals for truly the most critical patients and ultimately get them all to the hospital, but not all at once," Colwell said.
Places like the military field hospital assembled Monday could be put up in churches or gyms or a large space with running water, he said.
"We could identify 50 centers in San Francisco alone that we could mobililze in a matter of hours," Colwell said.
As for the series of drills scheduled for this week, they were to be done in conjunction with the military, the Department of Public Health and the Department of Emergency Services. In the case of a major earthquake, marines and sailors set up a field hosptial and trauma center at Zuckerberg San Francsico General Hospital.
One tent is set up to handle light to moderate injuries while others were designated for trauma center operating rooms and critical care units.
The Marines' officer in charge took a lot of pride in how quickly the teams can set up. He said getting a trauma victim to a medical care within 60 minutes is the key to survival. Trauma teams call it the "golden hour."
"With all hands involved on it, we can make that," said Lt. Rob Parker of the Travis Surgical Unit. "The fastest we've done is 26 minutes."
"If you can capture them within an hour, there's a high chance that they can survive from whatever issue that occurred," said Navy corpsman Lashad Hamilton.
But in mass shootings like the one in Las Vegas that left at least 59 people dead and more than 520 injured, the military's rapid response wouldn't be nearly fast enough. The Marines need 96 hours to get their people and equipment deployed.
"That's a reality, but I don't think it's an unreal assumption that we would need help five days after a catastrophic earthquake," said Mike Dayton of the Department of Emergency Management.
