UFO Moviez has adopted one basic rule of survival

A lot of this mind boggling expansion has to do with the UFO business model, which, as Kanwar explains, makes conversion for digital cinema operators quite risk free. The cost of digitising a single screen comes around Rs.1.5 million & this cost is borne by UFO Moviez. UFO Moviez takes the reel from the

producer about 10 days before the movie is released, and they digitise, compress & encrypt it. At the time of release, they transfer the movie to the exhibitor via satellite. UFO Moviez is in a position to monitor every screening in every cinema hall. Put together, the exhibitor, the distributor & the producer pay a fee of Rs.500 per screen per show to UFO. As far as advantages go, there are many. The content is protected with 192- bit encryption, which is a very high level of encryption, which prevents piracy. The cost of keeping prints is saved. Theatres in the remotest corners of the country can see the First Day First Show. The exhibitor has choice & can change the movie to be screened relatively easily. Flop film reels, which are quite expensive (at about Rs.70,000 per reel), have to be oft en burnt, which harms the environment as well.

All blames go to society, authority, & their idealistic execution...

The condition is worse when it comes to Sub-Saharan Africa; one in every three children is a child worker. Developed countries

are not free from this curse either; reports state that approximately 17.4 million (16%) children are labourers. India is blessed with 17 million child workers, highest in the world in a single country. ILO predicted child labourers in Sudan will touch 1.05 million by 2010 (23.5% of child population). Nigeria is another country where poverty has led 15 million children to work, irrespective of inhuman conditions. Pakistan may feel proud that 11 million child work force kept factories working.

No constitution in the world, no scripture in any religion has ever claimed or permitted child at work. But mankind for all its pretensions still make its progenies slog & be exploited, something no other species does on this planet. Even then he claims to be the best.

An enigma and odyssey rediscovered...

So, when the Kellaways sample a taste of the harsh existence that is distinctive to an urban metropolis treating a newcomer, Maggie lends her support and offers them a tip or two from

her experience, in turn receiving their allegiance and affection that was missing in her life. Hailing from different lo- cales does not prevent Maggie and Jem from falling for one other, even as they get familiarized with William Blake and his better half, who live close by. Blake’s poetic charm and enigma rivets the imagination of the young couple who are mesmerised by his poetry, at the same time helping them discover the connection between “experience” and “innocence”, even as his outspoken opinion on the conditions prevalent at the English Channel that was then witnessing a rebellion deeply influence them.

Damned if we do!

China’s Three Gorges dam has been toasted by its planners as the engineering marvel of the 21st century. As the world largest

hydroelectric river dam, the project is expected to produce more than 100 billion kw of electricity after its completion; and is simultaneously expected to end the requirements for irrigation in the Yangtze-Kiang river basin region, and even the problems of flooding. This postmodern project has the potential to really help China; but unfortunately, the project has also raised high geological, social and ecological concerns.

Yangtze, according to scientists, adds close to 530 million tonnes of silt to its reservoir. Thus, though the dam might address short-term concerns, in the long run, it might result in the death of the unriver itself. Furthermore, the 600 km long reservoir is likely to inundate close to 1,300 archeological sites and displace up to 1.9 million people.

The undemocratic and dictatorial planning for dams in China has historically ensured that no anthropologists or sociologists are included in the planning team. In this case, the unstable geology of the region has great danger of causing dam induced earthquakes, something China has experienced regularly – in 1975, the Banqiao-Shimantan reservoir collapsed affecting close to 12 million before killing more than 200,000; China has recorded as many as 15 earthquakes caused by dams; in 1962, and witnessed one of the most powerful dam induced earthquakes.

The path of modern development should also look at the environmental sustainability. The Three Gorges dam will definitely support development, but its effect on China’s environment has not been properly analysed.

Welcome move by Supreme Court attempts to make Real Estate more consumer friendly

To prevent this open loot, the Supreme Court recently issued a notice to the central and state governments seeking

guidelines from them on the mass media advertisements carried out by real estate companies and builders. The Apex Court’s intervention was prompted by a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by NGO, Sanrakshak (the Protector).

The genesis of the problem lies in the fact that builders issue illicit advertisements stating that they have government approval for a particular real estate project. The seal of government approval often leads the gullible public to believe that project is genuine and that their money is going into safe hands (that too without proper paper-work!). Misusing media through larger-than-life pre-launch blitz, the real estate developers draw advance from the public for factitious ventures. After a certain time gap, these fl y-by night operators vanish into thin air siphoning off millions with impunity. “These pre-launches sometimes are corporate frauds masquerading as news items. Media must insist on a signed brochure stating what the touted features are, so that responsibility can be fixed. At present, if someone invests based on media reports, he is exposed, as later on the real estate operator can always suggest that the media got it wrong,” emphasised Harish Salve, a noted lawyer and former Solicitor General of India, while talking to B&E.

The 9th Schedule: Created in 1951 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

If only our politicians had paid heed, the judiciary wouldn’t have been up in arms against the legislature for tainting and polluting the 9th schedule of the Constitution with vote gathering devices devoid of passion for able governance. If only our mendicant politicians were visionary enough to foresee the challenges posed to the State by the forces of globalisation, they would have mended their errant ways and made genuine efforts to win the hearts and minds of people. The net outcome of the political perfidy heaped on the common man is, he has lost all trust in the guardians of politics and sees judiciary as his only saviour in trying and troubling times. Have the two lost trust in each other’s ability to honour the commitment made to the nation? The fire brand leader of the CPI(M) & Rajya Sabha MP, Brinda Karat, commenting to B&E, refrains from using harsh words like ‘loss of trust’, but she adds that both, legislature and the judiciary, “must spell out the approach being adopted to interpret the constitution.”

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride

So now, does that imply that dreams of ‘common’ aficionados to bear a souvenir of their dream (without going bankrupt, of course) remains a dream? Ah, no! Comes licensed merchandising, a strategy which allows car-makers to cash in on their brand value without the risk of diversification. Merchandising – a strategy that, despite having no connection with the primary auto product, encashes solely on the basis of the weight of the brand in question. Some great examples of the whole exercise are Ferrari watches, caps and jackets; Bentley umbrellas; and Porsche jackets – all of which provide a decent overview of what we are saying here. Such items are somewhat expensive when compared to their competing equals, but mind you, they cost a miniscule proportion of the real car brand they represent. According to Siddhraj Singh of Autocar India, “Consumers are willing to pay extra for the car brands they love, this is true even in the economy segment.” All bigwig car brands, which command a devoted fan following to even remotest degree, have reaped maximum returns from licensed merchandising. Legendry Italian car-maker Lamborghini, for instance, allows mini car-makers, Hotwheels and Maisto, to manufacture and market miniature Lambos.
