A very young Moana is playing alone in the sand on the beach. She spots a pretty conch shell in the water and moves to pick it up. The ocean pulls back just for Moana, and keeps doing so as she continues walking around picking up shells, so that at one point she’s surrounded on most sides by a wall of water — almost li... |
The water has a mind o its own, and it seems to like Moana. A wave dips down to help her, splash her playfully, and even toy with her hair. When a human voice calls for Moana, the ocean carries Moana back to shore on a wave. She stops to turn around and says “bye bye.” The wave waves back. We fade into a sunset view of... |
Over the past few years, Disney’s animated division has gained a very strong reputation and with good reason. Moana seems to continue that winning streak. The scenery looks stunning, and there seem to be as many different kinds of water in Moana as there were different variations on ice in Frozen. Moana shares the stro... |
Maui looks downright obnoxious, in a rather endearing way. He’s all arrogance and bluster, like a more good-natured Gaston, but with a good heart deep down. He’s also covered in tattoos, but not just any old tattoos. Ruiz explained that one tattoo in particular, showing a “mini Maui,” represented Maui’s kinder, more ho... |
Moana also looks really cute. Hei Hei, the stupid rooster, seems to be the comic relief character, while Moana’s pig best friend Pua fills the role of “adorable non-speaking animal character” (think Sven in Frozen or Maximus in Tangled). And while we’ve really only heard the one song so far, it’s a pretty good one, cat... |

Sure, you've been out of school for about a decade now, but those S Club 7 posters affixed to your wall with poster putty are impressing absolutely no one. But there's hope for your walls for just a couple more days. S6 is hosting a Back to School Sale on the finest good available in the magnificently curated Gawker Ar... |
The most impressive part is that you can get all this class starting as low as under $20 per print. Sure, the prices scale upward as prints get bigger, but sprucing up a sparse bedroom is just a matter of heading over to The Gawker Artists Shop and finding a print that's right for you. The price you select during the B... |
Or, consider the Limited Editions section of the same shop for some of the most refined prints available at such an absurdly low price as $90.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that people of Bihar were likely to be swayed by the sentiment that "they have their own prime minister". |
upcoming Gujarat Assembly elelctions, saying that the people of that state were likely to be swayed by the sentiment that "they have their own prime minister". |
"I do not think there is any danger to the BJP in the Gujarat polls. This is my assessment. Will the people of the state vote against the party when it is likely to be at the back of their minds that they have their own prime minister?" he asked. |
"We ought to take these sentiments into account," he said on the sidelines of his weekly Lok Samvad programme. |
The JD(U) chief, however, side-stepped a query on Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi showing a lot of aggression during his poll campaign in Gujarat. |
"I have seen him (Gandhi) in action for long. I am not aware of any new aspect that is being pointed out," he said. The JD(U) has decided to contest the Gujarat Assembly polls on its own and field candidates on a handful of seats. |
Mr Kumar, who is the national president of the JD(U), which shares power in Bihar with the BJP, was responding to queries about the Gujarat polls being touted as the "semi-final" to the 2019 Lok Sabha election. |
"A situation has arisen where elections are held in some part of the country every year and every such poll is deemed to be a semi-final. This will change only when parliamentary, assembly and civic body polls are held simultaneously, as was the case long time back," he said. |
Replying to a query, Mr Kumar said, "I am in favour of simultaneous polls (to Parliament and the state Assemblies). But that is not possible in the foreseeable future. Over the years, mid-term polls have taken place in many states which has upset the schedule." |
"A state, where the Assembly may not have completed its tenure by the time Lok Sabha polls are announced, is unlikely to agree to such a proposal," he added. |
"But this is a matter worth a national debate. The constitutional options must be explored." |
The 182-member Gujarat Assembly will go to the polls in two phases -- on December 9 and 14. The counting of votes will be taken up on December 18. |
Replying to another query, the JD(U) leader, who again joined hands with the BJP-led NDA in July, after severing ties with the saffron party in June 2013, made it clear that his party's stands on issues such as Ayodhya, Article 370 and a uniform civil code remained unchanged. |
"There has been no change in our stance on Ayodhya, Article 370 and a uniform civil code. Even on gauraksha (cow protection), I have had a talk with the prime minister, who agreed with me that strict action, in accordance with the law, should be taken against those who violate it," he said. |
Asked about his support to the Patidars' demand for reservation, a potent issue in the Gujarat election, Kumar said, "We have supported all such demands, whether they involved the Jats or the Marathas. |
My view is that an agrarian crisis lies at the root of such demands being raised by relatively better-off communities. A solution to the problem should be found keeping this backdrop in mind". |
On the issue of reservation to women, the JD(U) chief said, "It is a myth that giving reservation to women, before securing a separate quota for the women in the OBC and SC/ST categories, will lead to a lower representation of the women. |
Our experience in Bihar proves that. That is why our party had supported the Women's Reservation Bill in the Rajya Sabha, even though our then national president, Sharad Yadav, had objections." |
Last week in this space I commented on the look of publisher's sales force going forward ("Media Seller 3.0").

Accepting the fact that automated, programmatic buying will be a permanent part of the landscape, guessing the new look of Madison Avenue is an irresistible parlor game. But since I haven't worked in an agency for more than 30 years, I'm probably not qualified to predict what the future media agency model will look lik... |
Joanna O'Connell and I have both predicted a bifurcated business where programmatic buying and the right brain work of marketing and business problem solving split apart. Being public companies, how will the agency holding companies be able to defend the high cost of the "Marketecture" business to shareholders when the... |
Accepting that there will be fewer and fewer staffers at the agency doing the "grunt work" of RFPs and spreadsheets: Do you really see more than a tiny handful of those people being retrained and redirected into right-brain Marketecture jobs? Any? Is the new agency workforce going to be made up of fundamentally differe... |
A reliable growth strategy for holding companies has always been to launch or acquire new agencies and service brands where new billings could reside and where issues of competitive client conflict could be overcome.

The biggest challenge for agencies isn't the shift from analog to digital, but rather moving from certainty to uncertainty.

Net Sales are expected to increase by 3.8 percent Y-o-Y (up 23.8 percent Q-o-Q) to Rs. 1,146.3 crore, according to ICICI Direct. |
ICICI Direct has come out with its fourth quarter (January-March’ 19) earnings estimates for the Road & Construction sector. The brokerage house expects Sadbhav Eng. to report net profit at Rs. 70.9 crore up 1.4% year-on-year (up 26% quarter-on-quarter). |
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) are likely to rise by 10.9 percent Y-o-Y (up 24.1 percent Q-o-Q) to Rs. 137.5 crore. |
The financial picture has grown so bleak at the American Folk Art Museum that its trustees are considering whether to shut it down and donate its collections to another institution, said a person involved in the discussions, who requested anonymity because the talks are confidential. |
No final decision has been made, and members of the folk museum’s staff are said to be lobbying to keep it going in some form. But the museum’s leadership has been in talks with the Smithsonian Institution for several months about possibly acquiring the collection in conjunction with the Brooklyn Museum. |
A decision to dissolve the museum and transfer its collection would require the approval of both the New York State attorney general’s office and the State Department of Education. The attorney general’s office would consider, among other things, whether the transfer would put New York State residents at a disadvantage... |
Even if ownership of the collection were transferred to the Smithsonian, one possibility being discussed is to have the Brooklyn Museum display some of it long term, making it still accessible to New Yorkers. The folk art museum has one of the country’s finest collections of American folk art, including some 5,000 quil... |
A decade ago the museum borrowed $32 million, in the form of bonds, to finance the construction of an impressive building on West 53rd Street in Manhattan, designed by the architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. In 2009, after suffering substantial investment losses in the financial crisis, the museum defaulted on it... |
But the sale of the building for $31.2million, while covering the debt, did not leave the museum with any extra cash. And it left, if anything, an even more difficult conundrum for the museum about how to move forward. |
The museum still has a small, 5,000-square-foot space in Lincoln Square, at Columbus Avenue near 66th Street, where it could continue mounting small shows if the trustees felt that it could sustain the costs of keeping a staff and paying to store, conserve and insure the collection. The museum remains open at that loca... |
Ms. Parsons declined to go into greater detail, saying that the discussions were confidential. |
Compared with the Brooklyn Museum, which has had to make hard choices in recent years about what parts of its own enormous holdings to keep, the Smithsonian would appear to have greater resources to take care of the folk collection. But there will most likely be pressure to keep some of the collection in New York, maki... |
A spokeswoman for the Smithsonian Institution was on vacation and could not be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for the Brooklyn Museum, Sally Williams, said that the museum’s director, Arnold Lehman, was out of town and that she had not been briefed on any discussions. |
The folk art museum has suffered considerable bad fortune over the years. For example, its former chairman, Ralph O. Esmerian, promised to donate his collection of folk art, including a version of Edward Hicks’s “Peaceable Kingdom,” but Mr. Esmerian also put the painting up as collateral against money he owed, and in 2... |
The Museum of Modern Art has said that it does not know yet what it plans to do with the folk museum building. The museum sits between MoMA’s building and the site of a high-rise being planned by Hines, the real estate developer, which will include multiple floors of galleries for MoMA. One possible plan would be to te... |
In addition to its holdings of folk art, the folk museum has a collection of outsider art, including several thousand drawings, books and related material by Henry Darger. |
The museum has lost several top employees since its financial problems started a few years ago. Brooke Davis Anderson, who was in charge of the museum’s collection of outsider art, departed last year for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The museum’s executive director, Maria Ann Conelli, left this year. |
The folk art museum’s situation is a stark warning of what can happen when a museum overreaches in constructing a new home. Founded in 1961, the museum survived some early near-death experiences. When it decided to build a permanent home, it engaged high-profile architects and borrowed the $32 million by issuing bonds ... |
Some critics have attributed the museum’s troubles to its architecture, saying that it was unwelcoming and did not display the art and artifacts attractively. To be sure, the museum never drew the crowds it had projected in estimates made during the planning process, or received enough contributions to support its inte... |
ANDOVER, Mass., March 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new study commissioned by Schneider Electric, companies across industries are increasingly leveraging the cloud for security applications, with 42 percent of respondents indicating they currently run security applications in the cloud and almost half (45 per... |

Packing up your plant and moving it to a new home can damage its roots and strain the plant. In many cases, plants that begin to droop and droop after a transplant are only suffering from minor transplant shock. These plants usually recover and perk up after a few days of care unless they are replanted incorrectly. You... |
Drooping leaves after a transplant can result from a lack of water, even if the plant has been given the same amount of water it usually needs. The fine roots that absorb the bulk of the water plants use are often damaged or destroyed when plants are replanted. Without these fine roots, it is difficult for plants to ab... |
As your plants grow, they become physically adapted to their environment. If you move your plants to a new area where the lighting and temperature are more or less intense, your plant may begin to droop under the stress of adapting to its new environment. You can reduce the strain on a potted plant by moving it to its ... |
The strain that replanting causes can force an unhealthy plant to droop or even lose foliage. Most plants perform better during replanting when they are moved before they begin to flower. Younger plants that are old enough to have developed a significant root system grow more vigorously than older plants and can recove... |
Replanting into dry soil draws moisture away from the roots of your plant. Watering the soil where your plant will go before you replant helps prevent this problem. Lightly watering the soil after you have finished replanting will also help prevent your new plant from drooping. If you transport your plant in a vehicle ... |

An Indonesian woman whose fiance was among 189 people killed when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Jakarta last month implored authorities on Friday to improve the safety and regulation of the country's airlines. |
JAKARTA: An Indonesian woman whose fiance was among 189 people killed when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Jakarta last month implored authorities on Friday to improve the safety and regulation of the country's airlines. |
Intan Indah Syari had been due to marry her high-school sweetheart, Rio Nanda Pratama, who was a doctor, on November 11. |
Photographs of Syari wearing her white wedding dress, alone, on the day of their planned ceremony went viral on social media with thousands of likes and an outpouring of sympathetic comments from around the world. |
"I want him, now that he is on the other side, to know that I'm happy. This was to pay him my last respects," Syari said, explaining her decision to wear the dress and how her fiance's last wish had been to see photos of her in the gown. |
"We had been waiting for this moment for 13 years, including six years in a long distance relationship, but at the end I lost my fiance," she told Reuters, speaking softly. |
Syari said she had kept calling his mobile phone on the days immediately after the Oct. 29 crash, clinging to a faint hope that he might be still alive. |
His body was later identified and search officials found his shoes, as well as a bag and paperwork belonging to him. |
Indonesian investigators are due to publish a preliminary report on the crash later this month in a bid to explain why the nearly new Boeing Co 737 MAX jet slammed violently into the sea during clear weather. |
Pratama's father has filed a U.S. lawsuit against Boeing, alleging it did not adequately warn Lion Air or its pilots of an unsafe design condition. Boeing is headquartered in Illinois. |
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned airlines last week that erroneous inputs from the system’s sensors could lead the jet to automatically pitch its nose down even when autopilot is turned off, making it difficult for pilots to control. |
Urging regulators to prevent any recurrence of such a crash, Syari said that all her hopes and dreams had been shattered. |
"Please improve the regulation of the aviation industry, in terms of safety and inspections, before a flight takes off," she said. "If a flight is not fit to fly, please do not let it leave." |

1. Tell us 3 important things we should know about you. |
- I’m a mum of 3 children, aged four, three and one. |
- In over 20 years of my working career within Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Industries, I have only ever worked in an office for one year. The rest has been remote working. |
- Mini Nom Noms is based in and launching in London, but I'm from Sydney and we currently live in Toronto - so my work day starts at 3 am everyday! |
2. Tell us about your business. How did it start? Did you set it up alone or with a team? |
The seed to starting Mini Nom Noms, healthy world food for kids, was planted in my mind by my first child. I was managing the Emerging Markets region for Europe, Middle East & Africa for the Neuromodulation Division. I was constantly travelling and loved being exposed to delicious cuisines. |
We were busy working parents, yet we both wanted to introduce our children to interesting world flavours from a young age. But trying to replicate recipes at home to suit a child’s palate was not only challenging but also very time-consuming. As we spoke to more and more parents, we found that it was a common challenge... |
