...The four forces that can affect Alphabet Games is the analytical framework PEST this takes in any political, economy, social and technological factors. • Political The political factors that will affect Alphabet Games are the legislation and guidelines that have been set out by the government that must be followed in order to avoid any legal action taking place. They also need to consider globalization and the differentials of each market they trade in as they currently sell games and software worldwide. They must also abide by any European Union rules and legislation when trading worldwide it has a higher level of control over the United Kingdom. The taxation policy is also important to Alphabet Games due to the changing tax rates which may affect the company’s sales revenue and any profits or loss which they may make. VAT can also have an effect on the cost of the products they are development as it can increase/decrease the cost of raw materials and also the selling price of the complete product which will also affect any profit margins. The VAT rate has changed three times since 2008 which will have had knock on effects on a business such as Alphabet Games due to them altering selling prices to including the lower or increased VAT rate set by the government. Alphabet Games are also affected by the labour laws as they must meet all legislation set out by the government with regards to policies such as Minimum wage, health and safety and contract of employment as failure to...

...Sabyasachi leaves the job on the models Anwesha Mittra, TNN Aug 1, 2013, 12.36PM IST Tags: West Bengal|Velvet|Silk|showstopper|Sabyasachi Mukherjee|Opium|lehenga|Designers|collection|Bollywood|Anupama Dayal (Sabyasachi leaves the job…) The second and final show of the first day of the PCJ Delhi Couture Week'13 held at the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi was well worth the long wait. The designer in question was one Sabyasachi Mukherjee who is known for his aesthetics, eye for detail and a never-dying penchant for classics. And perhaps the only designer who stands among the spectators and watches his show. We weren't very surprised to see the ramp turned into a garden of an old mansion complete with hanging glass lamps, old portraits on the walls, a wealth of planters including cacti and empty wine bottles gathering dust. Theme: Titled 'Opium', the designer attempted to show an amalgamation of aesthetic sensibilities of the West and the East, for which he combined elements from his home state West Bengal with that of Rajasthan, Kashmir, Karnataka and then fused it with the lazy, flirtatious elegance of France. And the result was a line up of ensembles that bespoke subtlety and understated elegance. Collection and detailing: A lot of designers use bling and make it look bling, then how does Sabyasachi use bling and yet make it look classy? Every piece displayed was unique in its use of fabric, silhouettes and jewellery. The girls all had their hair tied in...

...obesity, and this paper will show a few examples. Many health concerns related to obesity are as follows: diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and sleep apnea and/or respiratory problems ("What Are"). While this is not a full list of health concerns or problems caused by obesity, these are only a few listed. In today’s society, food is typically generated around convenience of food. Many individuals or families find it hard to have a prepared meal every evening. Of course it is easier to consume a pizza from Pizza Hut or an oven baked pizza opposed to a baked lean chicken. Yes, they are both filling, but one is more convenient for a family who works and gets home at dinner time. In the book Food Justice, Robert Gottlieb and Anupama Joshi state that, “not only is it becoming more of socially acceptable to eat anytime during the day, but it is also easier to eat on the go” (51). Think about what one puts into their mouth while eating on the go. It wouldn’t happen to be a baked lean chicken or even a prepared at home meal, it is typically a fast...

...Content Writer Interview Questions and Tips Planning to take up a fulfilling job as online content writer or taking up writing as a career? Well as with all creative pursuits’ content writing also demands a fair bit of creativity apart from consistent quality. But when you have both, writing can be a fulfilling calling indeed. This small content/copy writing interview guide lists the interview questions common to all jobs apart from focusing on the questions more likely to be asked in any interview for a content or Web copy writer. While I was planning to write a small content writing interview guide for a long time what finally made me put my fingers to the keyboard was the truly vast experience gained after giving 11 interviews in 14 days! Persistence does pay at the end of the day. The Getup: As content writing is a relatively informal job, even an informal getup with a semi-formal shirt should do fine. No need for any tie or suit. Punctuality: This is a must irrespective of the job you apply for. Make sure you reach the venue at least 15-20 minutes before the appointed time and put your documents or reference of past work in order and do remember to have an attractive resume in hand. 1) Tell me something about yourself. This is the most common interview question which will almost certainly be asked to any candidate. While it seems a pretty straightforward question many find it the toughest as it’s quite open ended and people fumble when required to speak...

...Dissertation Phase-I: Synopsis Topic: OPTIMUM THRESHOLDING USING FUZZY TECHNIQUES Guided by- Presented by- Mr.Puneet Manocha Anupama (Roll No.1600872) Assit. Professor IIIrd Semester, M.Tech (ICE) OBJECTIVE: * To review different research papers based on Fuzzy Thresholding. * To apply fuzzy thresholding technique to an image * To calculate optimum threshold using Gamma membership function. LITERATURE REVIEW: Introduction: Typical computer vision applications usually require an image segmentation-preprocessing algorithm as a first procedure. At the output of this stage, each object of the image, represented by a set of pixels, is isolated from the rest of the scene. The purpose of this step is that objects and background are separated into non-overlapping sets. There are various techniques of segmentation and among them threshold is much simpler than other segmentation techniques. Usually, this segmentation process is based on the image gray-level histogram. In that case, the aim is to find a critical value or threshold. Through this threshold, applied to the whole image, pixels whose gray levels exceed this critical value are assigned to one set and the rest to the other. For a well-defined image, its histogram has a deep valley between two peaks. Around these peaks the object and background...

...www.fmfi-journal.org Focusing on Modern Food Industry (FMFI) Volume 2 Issue 4, November 2013 Optimization of Pomace and Banana Peel Fermentation for Production of Single Cell Oil A. Kulkarni*1, A. Singh2, B.K Kumbhar3, M. Sahgal4 Department of Post Harvest Process & Food Engineering, College of Technology, GB Pant University of Agri & Technology, Pantnagar 263 145 U.S Nagar, Uttarakhand, INDIA 2 corresponding author e-mail: asingh3@gmail.com Abstract Present study was carried out to obtain single cell oil using fermented apple pomace and banana peel. The variables selected for the final experiments were levels of pH (3.0, 4.0 and 5.0), fermentation time (24, 48 and 72 hrs) and inoculum level (0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 ml). Designed experiments were conducted randomly to reveal the effect of these variables on pH, sugar utilization and single cell oil yield. Fermentation of apple pomace (50%) with banana peel (50%) resulted in maximum single cell oil production (5.87%) by using R. minuta. Statistical analysis resulted in the optimum conditions (pH 3.0, fermentation time 56.4 hrs and inoculum level 1.12 ml) for maximum single cell oil production. The model F- value was found to be highly significant at 1% level of significance in case of pH, utilized sugar and single cell oil yield. Hence, second order model could be fitted to predict all the dependent parameters. Key words Single Cell Oil; Fermentation; Pomace; Agro Waste Utilization Introduction ...

...Charlotte Cox Dr. M Butkus Philosophy 251-W1 13 July 2013 Where the Decision Lies Living wills are documents that define a patient’s medical wishes usually pertaining to life-support or any such instances where death is presumable. A living will provides a patient with a voice under circumstances which would leave them without the ability to make health decisions. Patients who fall into a persistently vegetative state would be at the mercy of their physician, next of kin, or living will. However, there are many times when a patient’s family has contradicting beliefs to what the patient proclaims in their living will. It can be difficult to decide whose decision should prevail. Ultimately, the previsions made by the patient in their living will should overrule in a majority of situations. Still, there are circumstances when such a decision may be unclear. First, we must understand the medical extent of someone who is in a persistently vegetative state. PVS is a disorder of consciousness and the patient is not in a state of trust awareness. PVS occurs when a patient loses cognitive function and can only perform certain involuntary actions. Such actions include but are not limited to crying, laughing, or movement of the eyes. For them, any movement or response is purely spontaneous, unpredictable and unconnected to events outside of physical impulse. After one year, it's highly unlikely that patients will emerge from their persistent vegetative state. For those who do, severe...
