When I was a kid, I had a friend who was from the Islamic Republic of Iran. She used to share a lot of stories about Persia (Iran) & all the things Persian. Nonetheless, she used to tell me that my mum should use more pomegranate juice in the food she cooks if possible. She used to say that it was very beneficial for the body. I became so curious that I decided to check all the facts myself. After having whisked through tonnes of pages in the library, I come to the conclusion that she was partly right & partly incorrect. My own little research in the library showed me that pomegranate juice might well have a lot of benefits & in fact pure pomegranate juice can help reduce the risk of developing cancer. But then I read a few scholarly journals which indicated that the tests on 100% pomegranate juice was still a study in progress & new facts keep coming every other day. One of the risks to come up is the fact that it might not be suitable for people suffering from blood sugar as it contains a large quantity of sugar. In fact the level of sugar in pomegranate juice has been found to exceed the amount specified by WHO i.e, the World Health Organization. So, to conclude the pomegranate juice does contain some benefits but it has risks associated with it as well.

My friend is a big fan of arts. He has got a massive collection relating to all sorts of art forms. From paintings to statues, you name it… he has got it! In the beginning, when he was a kid he used to get regular art supplies from his local store and he created some wonderful art forms himself. But slowly he turned from an artist to someone who would take a keen interest in artist materials & went on to become an art collector. I am not sure as to how or why that change occurred. Maybe he doubted his abilities, although I think with more practise he might well have become a good artist but then, I am his friend & so, maybe I am a little biased. Whatever the reason might be he has now turned into a huge art collector. The kind of collection that he has got is stunning. I believe not many people can afford to have that sort of a collection not even die hard art enthusiasts. He has spent close to a million dollars collecting them. I used to think that he might well have spent a little too much on them but then I was taken aback one day, when one of the art galleries offered to buy one the paintings that he has got for around ten million dollars. Although he refused to accept their offer that precise moment made me to believe that it has been a perfect investment too.

Frameboxx conducted a 15 day tour to Seneca College of Applied Arts & Technology, Toronto for its technical and research team to interact and learn the teaching techniques at Seneca. Three members from Frameboxx, Technical General Manager Kalpesh Kheradia, Techincal VP Tajinder Jeet Singh and R&D VP Reno Subramanium went on the tour from 11th July 09 to 25th July 09.

Frameboxx has a 2 year post graduate course on Digital Animation in collaboration with Seneca College and this tour was know the procedure and approach towards teaching at Seneca and what can be implemented at Frameboxx.

It was not about the technical enhancement of curriculum or courseware but analyzing the hidden secrets of imparting the education with great care and attention from Katherine Janzen, Research & Development incharge of curriculum.

There were a number of aspects that struck them during thr visit and Frameboxx wants to implement these in their curriculum as well. Two the most important things were the critique sessions and working on the creative aspect.

Speaking to Animationxpress.com Tajinder Jeet Singh said “We had a wonderful experience there and we learnt a lot about them and their teaching techniques. The most important aspect that we came across was the attention they pay towards the creative aspect of animation.

The NFS series has been in a gauche situation for a year or two, now. The release of Burnout Paradise posed a speck of a puzzle for the publisher. Burnout crossed over to an open world scenario, which meant that it contended directly against NFS for that space. Need for Speed ProStreet was a subtle change for the series in recent years, switching to track-based racing, abundance of tuning options and focusing totally on the events rather than exploring the city or outrunning cops. But it didn’t turn out so well, which made Black Box go back to the drawing board and revisit an open world setting for NFS Undercover - But that wasn’t the only design change. Also, Undercover appeared to be intended for the casual market in terms of both, presentation and a tremendously unperturbed learning curve. However, the game ended practically as one with no abiding qualities. It botched on almost every facade, which proved to be a major setback - Not only for the EA, but racing genre overall.

One of the prime reasons for this is the game’s absolute and sheer abuse of its open world background. The open world basically is to permit gamers to discover their surroundings, hit upon fresh challenges, maybe uncover a few secret locations and most importantly stalk down others to race. But that doesn’t happen one bit in Undercover – an that too to such an extent that you even cannot drive down yourself to an event to begin it or enter your garage. To begin an event, you have to look it up in the overhead map, which requires a few of seconds to load regardless of its downright simplicity. This will point up whatever your nearest event is, or at a few instances, the subsequently major event you’re supposed to take part in. This simply means that unless you’re evading the cops, there’s no reason to wander about the city when you’re not in any event. You can’t come across any hidden events, new racers or anything of this sort. Unless you feel like testing out your ride or just feel like exploring, there’s no reason to drive around all by yourself.
