Disney animator Ollie Johnston dies at 95

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

American animator Ollie Johnston, the last of Disney’s so-called “Nine Old Men”, has died at the age of 95.

Johnston died of natural causes on Monday in Sequim, Washington, according to Walt Disney Studios Vice President Howard E. Green.

Johnston worked on many of the Disney’s classic films, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinnochio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Bambi (1942), and many others.

Ollie was part of an amazing generation of artists.

Johnston worked extensively with his best friend Frank Thomas, a fellow “old man” who died in 2004. The pair met at Stanford University in the 1930s and worked together until Thomas’ death. They retired from animation in 1978, but remained popular speakers and authors about Disney and animation.

“Ollie was part of an amazing generation of artists, one of the real pioneers of our art, one of the major participants in the blossoming of animation into the art form we know today,” said Roy E. Disney.

Johnston devoted much of his retirement to writing and lecturing, but perhaps even more to model trains, a field in which he became considered one of the world’s foremost experts.

Ollie Johnston’s last film was The Fox and the Hound (1981) on which he worked as a supervisor.

Irish National Pensions Reserve Fund gains 2.4% in first quarter

Friday, April 22, 2005

Ireland’s National Pensions Reserve Fund (NPRF) has posted a 2.4% return for the first quarter (9.6% annualized). On March 31, the funds value stood at €12.3bn, a rise of €290m (excluding state contributions) since December 31.

Donal Geaney, the fund’s chairman, told the press that growth in the past quarter had been driven by the Fund’s European equity investments.

Mr Geaney, former Élan CEO, has pursued a policy of diversification since February of this year, with the stated aim of placing a larger amount of the funds assets in companies with small market capitalizations and in property funds.

The fund was set up by the National Pensions Reserve Fund Act, 2000 to partially meet the expected rise in Irish pension costs from 2025 onwards.

Woman killed in house fire in South Yorkshire, England

Monday, January 25, 2010

An elderly woman has died in a house fire in South Yorkshire, England. The woman, who is currently remaining unidentified, was blind and 93-years-old when her bungalow in Sheffield caught fire as a result of an accident in her kitchen yesterday afternoon.

An internal investigation into the fire has suggested that while the woman was cooking, she dropped a towel onto one of the stovetops while attempting to move a pan on the cooker. The towel then set alight. When she attempted to put out the fire, the towel dropped to the side of the cooker, alongside some plastic bags.

A smoke alarm sounded; a nearby resident heard the alarm and went to assist. The neighbour managed to break into the bedroom window of the bungalow in order to be able to get inside the building. The person made it to the hallway but had to double back upon seeing the fire and the smoke. It is believed that the woman was overwhelmed by the fumes given out from the plastic which was burning.

At around 1350 GMT, fire service workers entered the elderly lady’s residence to find her collapsed inside the kitchen. People investigating the incident have come to the conclusion that this particular fire was an accidental one. A spokesperson for the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service noted: “Neighbours who tried to enter the property were fought back by smoke and flames.”

Cisco sues Apple for iPhone trademark

Friday, January 12, 2007

The iPhone only made its appearance as a prototype and there have been controversies aroused.

The dispute has come up between the manufacturer of the iPhone (which was presented on Wednesday for the first time) — Apple Inc. — and a leader in network and communication systems, based in San Jose — Cisco. The company claims to possess the trademark for iPhone, and moreover, that it sells devices under the same brand through one of its divisions.

This became the reason for Cisco to file a lawsuit against Apple Inc. so that the latter would stop selling the device.

Cisco states that it has received the trademark in 2000, when the company overtook Infogear Technology Corp., which took place in 1996.

The Vice President and general counsel of the company, Mark Chandler, explained that there was no doubt about the excitement of the new device from Apple, but they should not use a trademark, which belongs to Cisco.

The iPhone developed by Cisco is a device which allows users to make phone calls over the voice over Internet protocol (VoIP).

Customized Promotional Gifts All In One Location

byadmin

Shopping where you can find customized promotional gifts all in one location affords you a great deal of advantages. As a business owner/manager you probably have a full plate of responsibilities, adding “shopping” for promotional items is probably not something you look forward too. Having to visit more than one site online or worse yet deal with more salespeople is not only time consuming it can be frustrating. You need:

* A wide range of options

* Fast, reliable service

* Dependable quality

When you are shopping for promotional items you want to be sure that you can find a large selection that you can choose from all in one place. You do not want to waste time searching for the items that you want and you do not want to have to settle for items that you really do not want.

Fast, Reliable

There are options both on and off line that are just not really viable options, not because the products are not great but because the service is not great. Typically, a business owner does not order items months in advance they are ordering the items that they need now. Fast turnaround times and reliable delivery schedule is a must.

Dependable Quality

Of course you want the inventory, fast turnarounds but you also have to be assured of the quality of the products because they will be associated with your business and you never want shoddy items to be associated with your business. It is just bad for your image to accept anything less than good quality products.

There is one place that makes it so easy to find the products that you want all under one roof and as an added bonus you can order everything right online including customizations. To buy more products then visit D K Specialties at http://www.dkspecialties.com/

Google announces new database service on blog

Wednesday, October 26, 2005

On Monday, Google published on their blog that they are testing a new product named Google Base, in which users will be able to upload their own articles to a database. This allegedly will complement the current services offered by Google.

Examples of contributions may include recipes, scientific findings, and other pieces of information one may wish to share. Several news agencies are reporting that Google Base will be used for classified ads. According to the Google Base website, which was made inaccessible to the public after a few hours, both were examples of entries you could post.

Google Base is expected to be a major competitor of craigslist, which is partly owned by eBay.

Israel rules victims of Jewish terrorist not entitled to lifelong support

Thursday, September 1, 2005

Israel‘s defence minister has ruled that the man who shot dead four Israeli Arabs is not a terrorist, because he is Jewish. The decision means that the families do not receive the compensation as family members of people classed as victims of terrorism. The laws governing compensation only recognise terrorism as being perpetrated by “organisations hostile to Israel”.

Ariel Sharon had previously described the act as “a despicable act by a bloodthirsty terrorist,” and The Jerusalem Post described the gunman as a “Jewish far-Right fanatic”.

The families will receive a lump sum instead of a lifelong payment. Arab Israeli leaders described the law as racist.

“The decision raises a strong scent of racism, which distinguishes between a Jewish terrorist and an Arab terrorist,” one member of parliament said.

The Anti-Defamation League, a US based organisation set up to combat anti-semitism, has also condemned the killing and described it as terrorism.

“We strongly condemn today’s terrorist attack by a Jewish gunman in Shiloh. The perpetrator is in police custody and we are confident he will be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, in a statement released on the day of the attack.

Member of the Knesset Mohammad Barakeh, has demanded an amendment to the current law. He is asking that the law recognise as victims of terror anyone hurt by “hostile activities by a terror organization.” According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Prime Ministers Office has requested that the Attorney General review the issue.

The 19-year old Nathan Zaada shot the four Israeli Arabs in an industrial area of the town of Shfaram on August 4th. He was later killed by a mob.

The Benefits Of Restylane Treatments Offered In New Rochel}

The Benefits of Restylane TreatmentsOffered in New Rochel

by

Wayne Williams

As we all age, folds in our skin and deep lines will begin to appear along the contours of our face and giving away our age. Many people in New Rochel believe the only way to liberate themselves from these facial blemishes is to use New Rochel Restylane injectable fillers like Restylane. These injections are a great alternative to plastic surgery and are much less invasive. Restylane does not affect your ability to make natural facial expression or have facial movement. Restylane has become very popular after becoming the first cosmetic injection filler to be approved by the U.S. FDA in the United States, and since then, more than 14 million Restylane treatments have been performed worldwide.

The independent research team at the University of Michigan Medical School, uncovered evidence that showed that Restylane offered support underneath the skins surface, which allows the skin to lie flat but show off plump facial contours. Their research also shows that Restylane triggers the body to increase its own production of collagen.

Most people seek out for New Rochel Restylane treatments to enhance the appearance of their mouth since that tend to be the area most people pay attention to. Some people focus on the lips themselves by adding fullness and roundness. Others are looking to make wrinkles disappear and eliminate all the visible signs of aging by filling in the creases and making the skin appear youthful and smooth. Injections are normally given by New Rochel dermatologist around the cheek and nose area to clients who are wishing to achieve a plump and round facial contour and add volume to the appearance of the face overall. The fillers are usually injected directly into the wrinkles that form with age from the nose to the mouth, and from the mouth to the chin. The lines that form on top of your upper lip and the frown lines that form in the corners of your mouth are also targeted to give the result of a rounder face.

New Rochel dermatologist also focuses on treating the wrinkles that form around the eyes and the forehead region of the face. Eyes can tend to look droopy or tired when wrinkles start to accumulate in the corners and underneath, with worry and stress comes forehead wrinkles. Because these creases tend to stand out more than others, injections at those sites can give your face a lifted effect, resulting in a refreshed, revitalized appearance.

Restylane Injections are not limited to use only in your face. One of the biggest discoveries as a result of independent studies have proven that one of the biggest benefits of Restylane injections is that it improves the structure and elasticity of your skin by providing deep skin hydration. You can achieve this hydration in areas other than your face such as your neck and hands. Clients can benefit from that discovery by ridding themselves of embarrassing acne scars or veins that bulge from under the skin by hydrating the skin.

After receiving rejections, the client can normally resume their normal activities the same day since there is no downtime required to recover. Many clients may experience a minor soreness for 2 or 3 days after the injection, but only notice minor swelling afterwards. The soreness could last longer after your first treatment because there is an adjustment period your body goes through when introducing the Restylane injection to your body for the first time.

Anyone who wants to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles on their face, or have supple, smooth and youthful skin again should consider Restylane injections. In addition, people who have skin disorders or problems with producing collagen on their own can also benefit from the hydrating properties of Restylane.
