JVC DLA-X500R 3D D-ILA Projector Review
Kris Deering | Jun 30, 2015
2D Performance
Performance close to higher-end models
Excellent dynamic iris
HDMI slow to lock onto signals
Annoying gamma tracking after 100 hours
The combination of the DLA-X500R's performance and value make it a favored pick in JVC's current line.
Last year, I went to the 2014 CEDIA EXPO hoping to see some new native 4K projector options from JVC, but unfortunately, I came away disappointed. For the first time in recent memory, JVC decided to skip the annual model refresh and stick with their already superb 1080p projector offerings. This is understandable, given the embryonic state of the 4K market (and other variables that I'll talk about below). But the line's extra longevity did give me the chance to review what I believe to be the best overall option in JVC's current family, the DLA-X500R. This projector may not have all the bells and whistles of its higher-priced brethren, but it does have what some would call "all the right junk, in all the right places."
Last year, I reviewed the DLA-X700R, and I've been using it as my reference projector ever since. It has performed just as solidly as I said in the review and continues to be my favorite projector to date. That aside, I would be more than happy to move to the DLA-X500R, simply because it delivers all the performance of that higher-end model while giving up only a few features that I honestly don't really need. The DLA-X500R looks identical in most regards but lacks the piano black finish, offering a matte finish instead (goodbye, fingerprints!); it also lacks the auto lens cover. Everything else appears to be the same. You'll find the same pair of HDMI inputs (version 1.4b) as well as an Ethernet connection, a link for an RF 3D adapter, and an RS-232 connection. A simple keypad gives you basic operation of onscreen menus if you feel like ditching the remote.
As we saw on the DLA-X700R, the HDMI inputs accept native 4K video signals, but this still isn't a native 4K-resolution projector; the current generation of JVCs only implements the company's e-shift technology to increase the number of apparent pixels while still using native 1080p D-ILA display chips.
Within that limitation, the JVC will accept an Ultra HD input at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and a frame rate of 24, 25, or 30 hertz. However, at the higher and more desirable 50- or 60-Hz frame rate, HDMI 1.4b can only pass a 3840 x 2160 source at a color resolution of 4:2:0. Ultimately, this may not turn out to be much of a concern because 4:2:0 is rumored to be the likely color resolution for the upcoming UHD Blu-ray format, and it's unlikely that any other UHD consumer delivery system will do better.
On the other hand, and as we have reported before, the real roadblock to future UHD content will likely be the lack of HDCP 2.2 support, which I suspect is the reason why JVC decided to forgo releasing new projectors at the end of 2014. HDMI chips that support the full bandwidth capability of the HDMI 2.0 spec plus HDCP 2.2 copyright management are only just now appearing on the market, so even product released at the beginning of this year would have been crippled.
The DLA-X500R features the exact same sixth-generation 1080p D-ILA panels that the DLA-X700R does, with a claimed 40-percent reduction in pixel gap and improved contrast and brightness. I saw the same tremendous performance from this review unit as I see with my reference projector, despite the rather sizable $3,000 price difference. In fact, the only difference I saw in the everyday use of the DLA-X500R compared with my reference projector was the lack of a few video presets, most notably the DLA-X700R's excellent THX mode, which is very close to accurate right out of the gate. But even without this feature, I was able to dial the projector in to near perfection out of the box, with only some annoying gamma performance cropping up around the 100-hour mark on the bulb.
I got to use the DLA-X500R for about a month before I started writing this review. In that entire time, I never once missed my DLA-X700R. I set up the DLA-X500R to perform every bit as well, with only the most minor hit in native contrast performance—which, I dare say, wasn't even visible while viewing content, despite the numbers.
During the time I had, I took in lots of native 1080p content fed from my Oppo BDP-103D universal disc player and even some gaming on my PS4. All images were viewed on a 120-inch-diagonal Stewart Filmscreen StudioTek 100 screen (measuring 16:9) in a completely light-controlled environment. For the bulk of my viewing, I left the Intelligent Aperture—JVC's name for their dynamic iris—in the manual position with it fully opened. This gave me my desired image brightness of 14 foot-lamberts while still providing more native contrast than any other projector I've ever used, short of my current reference and did use the Auto 2 setting of the Intelligent Aperture's dynamic mode (more on this below) for exceptionally dark material; most of the time, however, the manual mode delivered all the contrast I needed, and I didn't have to worry about the few and far between instances where some color shifting or clipping was seen as a result of the iris.
The highlight audition for me was definitely the Blu-ray Disc of Luc Besson's latest, Lucy. As a whole, the movie is interesting, if a bit hit or miss from a cinematic standpoint. But there was no denying the absolutely stunning photography and reference-quality transfer from Universal, which I would easily rate among my top five for all-time best Blu-ray transfers. Shot with Sony's latest 4K video camera, the movie is absolutely razor-sharp, with incredible color and contrast. And the DLA-X500R was fully up to the task, with some of the sharpest video I've ever seen, and its high native contrast provided a nearly three-dimensional image at times.
Another stunner on the DLA-X500R was Lionsgate's release of John Wick. This was one of last year's guilty pleasures, with incredible action and some great dark humor. It's also a film that has a lot of darker imagery where the ability to reproduce shadow detail and great contrast are imperative. The DLA-X500R was the perfect fit, with exceptional black performance and the same fine detail I saw in Lucy. Maybe I've just been lucky, but it seems like the last few JVC projectors I've reviewed or owned have all delivered crisp imagery with no chromatic aberration issues, fringing, or convergence problems—just tack-sharp images.

Charlie – as some regard this as offensive?
I think you've answered your own question.
Tom_W1987
Because the term "Brits" doesn't have a history of being used as a derogatory term, where as tge examples you cited have long and illustrious histories of being used as terms of insult.
It's really quite simple.
If the answer is logical I will gladly admit my stupidity.
Waiting for admission.

Good answer, thanks. There is a point to it. Because how is the latter any different to pretending to be ethnically Chinese and reinforcing those stereotypes for the entertainment of Europeans?
Sorry, Tom has already given my answer.
teamhurtmore
I don't think the white people of Britain have ever been part of a bullied minority. Hence why Brit is not offensive. Similar to how being called whitey, cracker, white bread or similar doesn't cause offence. In my opinion of course
Having lived and worked in an environment where being white was very much being part of a discrimated-against minority I would disagree. I was referred to individually and collective based on race and colour of skin, discrimated against, made fun of etc*. As much as it suits our collective angst (or need for it), white people do not have a monopoly on being racist and racism itself is not asymmetric issue.. Racism is racism. Full stop.
* despite this both places were brilliant experiences and wouldn't swap them.
Having lived and worked in an environment where being white was very much being part of a discrimated-against minority I would disagree
Where was this?
I agree, racism is racism.
However, we seem to get fewer threads asking 'is this racist?' refering to examples where a member of the white majority of the UK,even in areas where they are a minority, are wondering if they have been subject to racism. Also fewer threads from people from a minority race, wondering if they have been inadvertently racist to someone in the white majority.
But yes, of course, racism is racism. It's usually quite easy to spot, even if it is veiled, deliberately or not. Unless of course, you happen to be a mod 😉

Perhaps I worded it badly (not slept). I and most people I know who are white and from England have never suffered racial abuse. Not that it doesn't happen, but I think it's not as prevalent. Unless they had offensive white caractures in Chinese cinema in the past that I missed?
giantalkali
I (white) got racially abused by drunken and roudy aboriginal men in Australia. That wasn't much fun, but mainly as I was expecting to be stabbed whilst buying petrol.
Incidentally, Pakistani friends use the word **** openly. "Sorry, you can't come, it's a **** party" The real unsaid meaning of this was "And you're a dick" but still. That doesn't mean that I'd use the word as I grew up hearing it used daily as an insult to my friends.
If there's one thing I hate more than racism, it's Abos.
You do realise what happened to the aboriginal peoples of Australia right? What is still happening to some degree to this day? Not saying their behaviour was justified, but there is s lot of anger there that still needs to be resolved.
Yes I do, I didn't feel marginalised by the abuse. I know that 'they' have been taken advantage of and stolen from and thus didn't feel 'abused' as such, though I did feel in danger of a jolly good stabbing deep in the Outback.
As you travel the 2500Km dirt road from Perth to Alice you'll pass signs saying 'No Whites' as you pass various districts. Eyeopening, though not unexpected.
Everyone should see that side of Oz.
I saw "that side" of Australia when I was living there.
I saw Aboriginal people being refused service in pubs and restaurants.
I saw white people literally spitting at aboriginals in the street.
I saw the Australian government concoct a bogus child abuse scare in Aboriginal communities to continue the age old tradition of stealing children from those same communities.
I saw the systematic removal of state health and education services from rural Aboriginal communities.
I saw a culture that sells "aboriginal" art at every truck-stop, but which desecrates sacred aboriginal sites over and over again.
I saw Aboriginal people engaged in crime and anti-social behaviour, some of which aimed at me.
I saw Aboriginal people drunk at 11am regularly.
I also saw white people drunk at that time and also engaging in crime and anti-social behaviour, some of which aimed at me.
I managed not to hate either group, as most of these problems are created by only a small section of either community, it's just that the problems created by people in positions of power seem to have an impact in creating the sort of bad feeling, poverty and desperation that are fertile breeding grounds for the sorts of problems created by those who have no power, be they Aboriginal, white or otherwise.
Need like button or clapping emoji. What's been done to the aboriginal people is utterly atrocious.
rmacattack
Replace aboriginal with irish in your post. Would you still feel the same way?
Absolutely, why wouldn't I?
^^same here.
anagallis_arvensis
I know that 'they' have been taken advantage of and stolen from
I think state sponsored systematic genocide would be closer to the truth than "stolen from"
Yeah, but they threatened me with a firm stabbing, so give me the benefit of the doubt, eh?

Give you the benefit of the doubt for what?
What anagallis posted above . They didn't stab me and I don't hate aboriginal people.

Cate Blanchett in 'Truth'
On March 29, 2020 August 30, 2020 By Murtada ElfadlIn Podcast
In Truth, Cate Blanchett plays journalist and TV news producer Mary Mapes in the story of the fallout from the CBS investigation into George Bush's military service, that led to the resignation of Dan Rather. The performance was warmly recieved even if the film wasn't widely seen, we examine why in the latest episode. Hosted by Murtada Elfadl with guest Kevin Jacobsen host of And The Runner-Up Is podcast.
https://sundayswithcatepod.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/ep-18-cate-blanchett-in-truth-with-kevin-jacobsen.mp3
From IMDB: Newsroom drama detailing the 2004 CBS 60 Minutes report investigating then-President George W. Bush's military service, and the subsequent firestorm of criticism that cost anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes their careers.
What year did it come out?
Mary Mapes; TV news producer, and author. She is known for the story of the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal, which won a Peabody Award.
Immediately as Mapes is hiring a lawyer who will represent her during an internal investigation that CBS is conducting, the set up for the flashback to the main story.
Box Office: Domestic = $2.5MM Int'l = $5.3MM
Critical Response: Metacritic : 66 RT: 63
Cate Blanchett as Mary Mapes in 'Truth'
Blanchett's performance as the center holding the film.
The movie is based on Mapes' book Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power – does that make it inherently one-sided? Did we need to hear "the other side?"
Awards wise – if this wasn't the year of Carol could she have contended? Media seemed to think so in early fall post TIFF but the movie actually made no business. Is the performance worthy of awards?
The filmmaking- James Vanderbilt has an interesting career. Wrote David Fincher's Zodiac (2003), The Amazing Spiderman movies (2012-14) and Adam Sandler's Murder Mystery (2019). Also produced many movies including another collaboration with Cate; The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018).
Robert Redford as Dan Rather and the other actors – Elisabeth Moss, Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace.
The movie was filmed in Australia to accommodate Cate, giving the opportunity to many Australian actors and crew, including a dynamite Noni Hazlehurst as Nicki Burkett. Hazelhurst previously played Blanchett's mother in Little Fish (2005).
Journalistic procedural similar to Zodiac and other classics of the genre like All the President's Men and Spotlight – that was the ambition. How was the reality?
Memorable quotes:
"Our story was about whether Bush fulfilled his service. Nobody wants to talk about that. They wanna talk about fonts and forgeries and conspiracy theories, because that's what people do these days if they don't like a story. They point and scream. They question your politics, your objectivity, hell, your basic humanity. And they hope to God the truth gets lost in the scrum. And when it is finally over and they have kicked and shouted so loud, we can't even remember what the point was."
Scenes we liked:
Above monologue – shows Cate at her best.
The tense tv interview with Col. Bill Burkett (Stacy Keach) – shows the different allegiances, priorities and the corporate machinations.
What seemed off:
The morality tale is intriguing but perhaps the story itself is minor and does not warrant a film treatment?
The exposition between Quaid and Moss where they explain Rather is Mapes' "father figure." The film hammers that connection, does it feel real? Much better is the scene in the hotel when they share a drink and he tells her he'll apologize on camera.
Redford, Blanchett and Bruce Greenwood in a scene from 'Truth'
"Suffering only from a measure of familiarity when set beside the actress's other work, Blanchett's performance is forceful yet delicately shaded, and she renders Mapes with admirable complexity: We see a hard-working wife and mother who struggles to find time with [family], but also a tough-as-nails producer whose excitement outstripped her attention to detail at one crucial moment." – Justin Chang, Variety.
"Blanchett makes us feel the creeping horror of professional disgrace, the fear and stigma, however unfair Mapes argues her treatment may have been. We watch a polished professional come apart at the seams, caught up in self-incrimination and spiralling neurosis. She's in the form of her life at the moment." – Tim Robey, The Telegraph.
"The weirdness of "Truth"—and, I fear, its involuntary comic value—arises from a disparity between the sparse and finicky minutiae of the narrative and the somewhat bouffant style of the presentation. As the program airs, those who have toiled on it are seen smiling in proud slow motion, while ordinary folk, all across the nation, in bars and in living rooms, stare up at their TV screens as if witnessing the descent of the Messiah. Later, when the report unravels, along with Mapes's sang-froid, the film offers up as tear-streaked tragedy which is, in fact, a cautionary tale about photocopying, the moral being that you should check your information at the source. Vanderbilt has marshalled his material with scrupulous care, as he did when he wrote the script for David Fincher's "Zodiac," so how come that movie was twenty times more riveting? Partly because of Fincher's scary visual command, and because deaths rather than deadlines were at stake, but also, I suspect, because the new film clings to the nagging thought that if the National Guard story had held firm the Presidential election—and thus recent history—might have followed a different path." – Anthony Lane, The New Yorker.
Mapes, Blanchett, Redford and Rather at the film's New York premiere October 2015
Promotional work: Cate on Mapes for NY Magazine:
"I went online, as one does, and I saw this series of interviews Mary gave after the story had come out. I saw this quiet, defensive lockdown in her, and when I met Mary, I found it very difficult to reconcile this vivacious, hilarious, searingly intelligent and instinctual human being with that. I thought, somewhere between those two things, those two energies, lies the performance."

This week, we began planning and working on IB economics project. The central idea for this unit is "Creative economic ideas can have a positive impact on humankind and the environment." The students' job was to create a 100th day of school t-shirt that would be marketable to others. First, they created a design on paper what their t-shirt would look like. We talked about different examples and creative ways to put 100 items on their shirt. On Thursday and Friday, we actually created them! Students brought in their t-shirts and 100 items along with paint and glue. The classroom was a mess, but the students thoroughly enjoyed making their ideas come to life. Students will wear their t-shirts on January 26th (the 100th day of school) and will be marketing them and trying to "sell" them to other students.

Ethiopia Partners with Carter Center on Public Health Training Initiative
The group of illnesses known as neglected tropical diseases continue to strike people across Africa. The diseases are called "neglected" because they don't receive enough funding, due to the fact that although they damage people, they don't kill them.
Ethiopia, in partnership with the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, has a public health training initiative that offers training in how to combat these diseases. Dr. Joyce Murray is the director of the Ethiopia Public Health Training Initiative (EPHTI) for the Carter Center. At a conference in Washington, DC, she spoke about Ethiopia's effort to solve the shortage of health care providers at the grassroots level. Voice of America English to Africa reporter Cole Mallard covered the event and later telephoned Dr. Murray in Atlanta to find out how the initiative works.
In this second of a five-part series on addressing neglected tropical diseases in Africa, Dr. Murray said the initiative has three goals: 1) to develop materials for universities preparing health professionals. She says the Carter Center has developed and distributed case study teaching booklets and lecture notes throughout Ethiopia. 2) to strengthen faculty teaching skills through workshops. She says over 2500 Ethiopian faculty have been trained in teaching, writing, supervision. 3) to improve the learning environment through the purchase of textbooks, medical journals, computers, lab equipment and teaching aids for the seven universities.
The doctor says the Carter Center began the initiative in 1997 in partnership with the Ethiopian government. President Carter reportedly met Prime Minister Meles Zenawi on an airplane. He mentioned to President Carter that Ethiopia needed to staff 500 primary health care centers being built in rural areas and asked for help in training.
12-YEAR GOAL
Dr. Murray says the initiative is expected to take up to 12 years. She says to help avoid "brain drain" (in this case, health care professionals and others with specialized training who leave the country for advancement and better positions) incentives are offered, such as the reward of a better assignment following duty in a remote area. She also says graduates of the training program will be offered management positions to encourage them to stay in the country. Dr. Murray says the program was created in such a way that other developing countries can adapt it to meet their own needs. She says the health learning materials are being placed on the Carter Center website so anyone can have access to them. About a third of the material is already posted, and once copyright issues are settled, the remaining material will be posted as well. The Carter Center website is www.cartercenter.org

Afghan opiates remain global threat, says new UNODC Study
Kabul / Vienna. 29 July 2011. Afghanistan remains by far the largest source of the global illicit trade in opium and heroin, which generated some US$ 68 billion in 2009 - a sum exceeding the GDP of many countries - according to the study Global Afghan Opium Trade: A Threat Assessment which was issued yesterday by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Covering international flows of Afghan opiates in 2009, this is also the first in-depth study by UNODC of trafficking in acetic anhydride to Afghanistan (an indispensable 'precursor' chemical used for converting opium into heroin).
Spanning a decade, the report states that some 16.5 million people annually abuse opiates worldwide. Heroin takes the bulk of the market with 12 - 13 million people consuming 375 tons of heroin per year, and of that, a sizeable 150 tons are consumed in Europe.
Opiate consumption in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries has risen sharply in the past decade - 35,000 out of the current 123,000 hectares under poppy cultivation in Afghanistan are needed to produce opiates for this region alone. But the problem extends far beyond. Afghan heroin has also been spreading to consumer markets in East Asia traditionally supplied by Myanmar.
Another notable trend is the increase of heroin flows to Africa, which could re-emerge as a trafficking route to Europe, or lead to more drug consumption on that continent.
Afghanistan and precursor inflows
Acetic anhydride is a legal chemical commonly used in household and industrial products. However, since there is no recognized need for the substance in Afghanistan, the chemical is diverted from legal domestic markets in Europe and Asia and smuggled into the country. Some 38 tons of acetic anhydride were seized at heroin production sites in 2009, mostly in southern Afghanistan.
Seaports in the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan have been seizing greater amounts of both exported heroin and imported acetic anhydride. With 300 to 500 laboratories producing an estimated 380 tons of heroin in 2009, Afghanistan continues to convert most of the world's opium into finished products - morphine and heroin.
The profits of crime
In 2009, UNODC estimates that 150 tons of Afghan heroin reached Europe, 120 tons Asia and 45 tons Africa. Law enforcement bodies seized 76 tons of heroin worldwide that year, with an interdiction rate of up to 16 per cent.
Transnational organized crime groups profited most from the US$ 68 billion trade in 2009, with Afghan farmers earning a relatively small share (US$ 440 million) of this total. Criminal and insurgent groups who benefit from the trade pose serious challenges to governance, security, stability and development in Afghanistan, its neighbouring countries and beyond. Drug traffickers exploit the deteriorating security situation in the southern provinces of Helmand, Kandahar and Nimroz, while corruption lubricates the industry nationwide.

Home Fashion 612 League to open 800 stores by 2020; aims to be Rs...
612 League to open 800 stores by 2020; aims to be Rs 350 crore company
By Charu Lamba
With parents and children becoming more conscious about kids fashion and trends, the complex kidswear segment in India has been witnessing a boom.
Going further, 612 League will add nightwear, inner wear, accessories, and shoes by 2018
The market – which was worth Rs 59,520 crore in 2015 – accounted for 20 per cent of the total apparel market of the country. It is expected that kidswear will significantly surpass the growth of menswear and womenswear by growing at a CAGR of 10.8 per cent to reach Rs 1,65,120 crore in 2025. This is one of the major reasons why the segment has attracted retailers' attention in recent times.
Among the many brands catering to kids, the first Indian brand which focuses on pre-teen children is 612 League. The brand has segregated clothing lines for age groups of 0-2, 2-6 and above 6 year olds. It understands that the 2-12 age group is not one segment, but consists of varied tastes and choices.
In an exclusive interview with Indiaretailing Bureau, Co-founder, 612 League, Manu Indryan talks about India as a kidswear market, the brand's journey in this tough market, its Omnichannel strategy as well as future plans.
How do you perceive India as a kidswear market?
The Indian kidswear market has had the most fragmented structure. Only now has it started moving towards an organized structure. Shopping experience has also seen a shift from store purchasing to online shopping. This growth has majorly happened due to the change in mindsets and shopping patterns in India.
Today, India is characterized by nuclear families with dual income households where parents want to dress their kids fashionably and don't shy away from spending a little extra on their kids comfort and brand value.
Kids today have an exposure to a lot of social media through television and Internet, making them fashion conscious and keeping them at the pace with the latest trends in the kids fashion industry. The media exposure also influences their fashion choices and they love to adopt styles of their favourite style icon, celebrity or cartoon characters.
While the increase in purchasing parity and active participation of fashionably aware kids in the shopping decisions have been the major growth factors for the kids fashion industry, the way in which brands today make themselves visible and available on various channels also contributes to the collective consciousness.
How has been the brand journey so far?
Parenting the business right took 612 League from Rs 5 crore to Rs 130 crore entity. Six years back when 612 League started off with Rs 5 crore, we didn't take the traditional route. Instead of starting a production facility, the brand first invested in a design studio with NIFT designers, consumer research and market study.
The journey from large format stores to exclusive brand stores pan India has been an interesting one. A pilot workshop facility in Ludhiana was set-up in October 2008 with 20 machines from where merchandise were supplied to Westside as white label supplier. The brand was later displayed at four stores of Shoppers Stop (North). Today, 612 League has made its presence felt in 150 cities across India with close to 500 touch points which includes 53 EBOs.
Throw some light on your business model?
Currently, we bring out 500 styles in 7 sizes and an overall count of 3,500 SKUs. 200 of these are quintessentially 612 products, i.e. international in appeal. Rest of the 300 are defined by the market spread, geography and season.
The production capacity is over 1,35,000 garments per month. We have multi-stage quality control systems in place from raw material (yarn/fabric) to garment finishing.
We entered the retail space through Shoppers Stop. Our approach has been strategic and calibrated. We still retail through diversified retail channels. After having established the brand our focus is now on growth of EBOs. EBO is where customer enters the brand space, it differentiates the label from the brand. 8 out of 53 EBOs are company-owned while the rest are franchise stores. The number is projected to grow to 60 very soon.
Keeping pace with the times, we have a robust presence in e-commerce as well as we see it as a value channel for us.
Many well-established foreign kidswear players have entered India of late and have taken the consumer base by storm. What is your approach to the competition?
The preference of branded apparel is seen a positive step, since it categorizes the kids wear market and helps in increasing the importance of brand value in the customer's mind. Although, with more international brands coming in India, the competition has no doubt increased in the industry.
However, we at 612 League believe keeping Indian sensibilities in mind right from choosing the fabric to designing the collection, gives us an edge over the other brands. We understand our customers better than any other international brand and we customize our range not only as per seasons but also as per the demographics of India (North and South, East and West) as well as colour and fabric preferences.
What is your pricing strategy?
Parents in India still play a major role in so far as purchasing decision is concerned.
For our baby range, the target audience are parents belonging to middle/ upper middle income households.
For pre-teen children (6-12 years), our major target audience are the mothers as well as children themselves who are fashion conscious and love to wear smart yet comfy clothes.
We see ourselves as an aspirational brand and a real clutter-breaker when it comes to offering differentiated products for the various age group within the 6 months-12 years bracket. Our collection is affordable and we have always kept in mind the Indian sensibilities to provide the best of fashion to our customers. So, any parent looking for characteristics like fashionable, comfortable and affordable in one brand, we are one stop-shop destination for them.
Throw some light on the category mix? Which is the fastest moving category?
Our current product category is majorly divided into baby, boys and girls. For infants and toddlers the age bracket falls under 6 months – 2 years.
We provide our customer a wide range of apparels for different age groups which are conducive to the active lifestyle of a child.
We look at international forecast and co-relate it to Indian culture. We spend a lot of time and effort in trying to understand the lifestyle of urban middle class and upper middle class. The age group is defined by an active lifestyle.
Ripped jeans, track pants, and layered shirts have done exceedingly well for boys. Scottish skirts and leggings and shirt dresses have been a favorite with pre-teen girls. A lot of categories have moved from occasion/leisure wear to daily wear.
The fastest moving product categories are girl's dresses and boy's T-Shirts.
Any plans to explore new categories?
Yes, we have recently added ethnic wear (spring soul) for boys and girls in the age group of 3-14 years. Also, we are launching 612 fearless – a high fashion range for teenage girls in SS17. Going further, we will add nightwear, inner wear, accessories, and shoes by 2018. This would make us an umbrella brand for children in the age group of 6 months to 16 years.
Share your Omnichannel strategy.
Being a kidswear brand we look for marketing strategies that are both innovative and interactive for kids. Considering the evolving shopping patterns in India, where parents and kids are equally fashion conscious, we look for marketing opportunities that can involve both to make their shopping experience fun and wholesome.
We had recently launched Wonder Store concept through our EBOs in Bangalore. The Wonder Store is first-of-its-kind Virtual Reality shopping platform in India, based on the Augmented Reality Technology.
It's a gesture controlled, kid-friendly kiosk which enables trials of over 300+ products with just a flip of a hand and the option for placing an order. The platform is designed to engage both parents and kids.
Keeping in mind the convergence of consumer across the digital and brick-and-mortar platform, we follow an integrated approach to marketing. There has been a shift in shopping patterns from real time product buying from the stores to online shopping.
Owing to this change, we have been committed to provide our customers the comfort of online shopping by increasing our digital platform reach.
Adapting to the change we have geared ourselves for the e-commerce and today we have an established presence on e-commerce website like Myntra, Amazon, Snapdeal, Firstcry, etc. online contributes to about 9 per cent of our sales. It is geared towards going double digit by 2020.
We have also created three differentiated features on the website – 612 Genie (that has surprise offers), 612 Mommy Moments (platform for mothers to share intimate moments with the child), and 612 Icon (achievement oriented).
Apart from this, 612 League is also focused on expanding its digital reach by collaborating with online wallets like Paytm to make payments easier for customers.
Please share your revenue target for the current.
Our revenue target for the current fiscal is Rs 170 crore.
How much does online contribute to your overall sales and what is your target by 2020?
Our online contribution to total sales is roughly around 11per cent in the financial year. The goal is to be a Rs 350 crore company by 2020. We are also focusing on expanding digital reach in a big way. We have an engagement driven website and mobile app. Surprising as it is, but 70 per cent of the traffic comes from the app.
How many point of sales do you have currently and what is your target by 2020?
We have grown from 176 touch point from 2012 to close to 500 in 2017 and we hope to achieve a sale point target of 800 by 2020. The touch points are spread across 150 cities in the country.
Any plans to explore new cities or testing foreign waters on the cards?
This year we opened our new exclusive stores in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Kurla, Bangalore and Ludhiana. We have also added our presence in UP, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan through Reliance Trends, Central and Shoppers Stop stores recently. Our best performing markets are Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, Jaipur, Mumbai and Patna.
Our current focus is to expand our footprint within India and not to penetrate into the international market yet.
Please throw some light on your expansion plans.
We have plans to expand our exclusive store presence in west and south in particular. We have plans to target cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai.
Any plans to raise the money to aid the expansion plans.
Currently, we are in the process of second phase of funding.
Where do you see the brand five years from now?
The clear cut vision is to become the largest kids wear brand in India. We are a 1Rs 30 crore company right now. In order to become a sustainable household name in kids wear segment we should be a Rs 350 crore company.
Talking of BIG PICTURE: we want to become the last word in kids clothing.

[Solicitations] Rat Queens returns with new artist
By Stephen Schleicher on	 November 18, 2016 0 Comments
Here's some news that will make some people really happy, and will make others really angry – Rat Queens is returning in March from writer and co-creator Kurtis J. Wiebe, and he's bringing a new artist with him – Owen Gieni.
"Cat Kings and Other Gary's: Part One" begins a fresh, soft-reboot and the Rat Queens are back in action! Everybody's favorite butt-kickers—Betty, Violet, Dee, Braga, and Hannah—return in RAT QUEENS, VOL. 2 #1. Palisade is still a rat-infested troll's ass and everyone still hates Gary. It's been awhile since the Queens have done a good slaughter, so join them as they get back to the basics of killing monsters and drinking away the profits.
You may have seen Owen Gieni's art in Manifest Destiny (also from Image Comics), but many will know his work from the Sore Thumbs and Wicked Powered webcomics.
"Owen's style brings a real return to high adventure, insane action and character comedy," said Wiebe. "He has an amazing talent for crafting a world and when his characters act, they feel genuine and real. Writing scripts for Owen is the most fun I've had on the series in a very long time. Our new start with Rat Queens is getting back to the basics. Four friends who kill monsters for money. Except it's even weirder."
In May 2016, Tess Fowler was dropped as the artist for the series amid rumors that co-creator Roc Upchurch would return to the series. This announcement from Image COmics and Wiebe seems to put that rumor to rest, though it still brings into question how involved Upchurch is in the series.
Rat Queens Vol. 2 #1 arrives on Wednesday March 1st.

THE INITIAL RELEASE (1990)
Airing in 1990, the cartoon series of Swamp Thing was a product created for a generation who were "coo coo for coco puffs" and loved to jam to the almighty funky fresh beat of Turtle Power. This period sometimes referred to as "the reckoning" by penniless parents, was a time that saw the prying eyes of marketing machines targeting kids with (just about) any product that they could shill on them with a logo. Whether it was a breakfast cereal, a t-shirt or a racially insensitive action figure, the goal was always to incorporate a brand that would always be present in a child's life and stick out in their mind. Sometimes it worked. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not a brand that anyone would have placed a bet on prior to its success. It was a goofy concept that used buzz words in its title to initially attract a young audience.
As we know now, it paid off. One brainiac among many decided that this pie was far too tantalising to pass up. Aping off the success of merchandise goliaths like G.I Joe and TMNT came Swamp Thing. Originally a comic property, Swamp Thing became a means to sell toys. The cartoon series was released in order to transition kids from the television to their local toy shop. Reportedly, the show runners were given less of a budget than the marketing team. An estimated six million dollars was put into a figure line for the series. Due to lacklustre sales of these figures, the show was subsequently cancelled in 1991. However, the real question we need to ask, was it worthy of saving or was the quality of the property compromised by its intended goal?
MY EXPERIENCE (1990 – 2015)
Swamp Thing, you make my heart sing. It has been so long. There is always a hint of nostalgia when writing about a beloved series or movie from childhood. The hint in this case being that I couldn't remember anything remotely good about the show, but I simply recall being excited by every passing moment. More often than not, I find myself having a supreme adoration for properties that marked important dates in my childhood. Swamp Thing was the first occasion I was allowed to stay up past ten o'clock to watch a programme. It's actual air time was often muddled, due to the folks at TCC presumably trying to work out a time-slot that would actually garner viewers. They had me at least, and they still do!
The Swamp Thing cartoon is an absolute joy of campness and nineties tropes. From the very first episode, Swamp Thing hits the ground running in a unique manner as we are treated to a grotesque hero with frightening abilities at his disposal. It looks like a typical cartoon of the time, but it oozes horror film features in each scene. The dialogue is as corny as can be, harkening back to Hammer House productions of the monster variety. Obviously, the show runners took inspiration from classic cinema to create a satire, gift wrapped in a Hanna-Barbera coat. Marrying this mix of visuals and writing with a few familiar dime store bad guys of the over-the-top variety creates a beautiful blend of fun in a flamboyant sense. Whilst only five episodes exist, all are charming and give their own flavour of personality. It just works and its mainly down to the simple setups and diverse characters.
Swamp Thing (AKA Alec Holland) is a man with a vendetta against those who turned him into a beast. Utilising his abilities to stop them, He justifies his actions by protecting the swamp that gave him these powers. He protects it from creatures like him who used to be men. The heritage of the story ties in with Indian culture and their environmental message against corporations who seek to pave over forests and land. Swamp Thing encounters allies with Indian backgrounds among other activists that aid him in his duty. The good guys that help Swamp Thing are from different minorities. The villains are freakish monsters that serve as metaphors of those with capitalist mindsets. This is a lot to bring into a kids cartoon series, but ever so slightly you see the point they are trying to make over the course of the unfortunately brief series.
It is by no means a classic cartoon. It was never given enough time to gain that status. For what it was, It delivered in the sense that it went beyond its purpose of being an excuse to sell toys. It gave a relatively faithful interpretation of the Swamp Thing comics at the time. There was a downgrade in tone, yet all the elements that made the comics popular were still present. So, If you'd like a goofy show that has a little more than meets the eye. Consider checking out Swamp Thing. I had a blast revisiting it. It has the catchiest theme song around! It does sound somewhat familiar though…
Did you enjoy Swamp Thing? Did you loathe it? We won't know unless you comment below!

If you are just getting started at hold 'em, you have likely noticed that the game is offered in three different formats - fixed limit, pot limit, and no limit - and are unsure which game is right for you.
In fixed limit (FL), players are only allowed to bet and raise in fixed increments. That means you can easily limit the amount of money at risk on any given hand by simply checking and calling. Of course your opponents can also try to limit their risk, so big pots are fairly rare.
Most beginners will find that FL hold 'em offers their best opportunity for profit. For starters, the game offers smaller monetary risk, which may be appealing to new players who are unsure about putting their own money on the line. Properly played, the game involves smaller swings both up and down. No limit can be an emotional roller coaster and new players are unlikely to be equipped to handle its ups and downs.
More importantly, properly playing FL will teach much needed discipline. Knowing when to fold and having the discipline to actually do it are essential skills for any aspiring poker champ. Since you are less likely to get rewarded for making silly calls in limit, it will be easier to learn this discipline playing FL.
At the other end of the spectrum is no limit (NL) poker. It is by far the most popular variant, but also the most difficult to master. In NL poker, any one can bet any amount (up to what they have at the table) at any time. Thus, all of your chips are theoretically at risk on every hand.
With the higher risks, come higher rewards for experienced players, but larger losses for those unprepared. Emotion can play a big role in NL and if one isn't careful they can easily tilt away their entire bankroll through a series of foolish reloads done in anger or frustration.
In the middle is pot limit (PL) hold 'em. In PL, a player is limited to bet no more than the current pot. That means you can limit your losses to some extent, but in practice the game goes a lot like no limit.
The main different between NL and PL is pre-flop play. Since you can't bet enough to making people fold from early position, pot limit often forces you to limp and hope to re-raise big hands. A lot of times you will end up letting a lot of mediocre hands see the flop for cheap, so you have to be more careful with the way you play big pairs and high aces. That is, you can't assume you have the best hand since you can't rule out very many hands, and must bet accordingly.
In summary, fixed limit is probably the best choice for most beginners. When you find you are regularly making a profit at FL, then you may consider trying PL or NL. If you can't beat FL, you probably won't beat the other variations either so it is best to limit your losses and stick with FL until you get the hang of it.

The history of 28th Division
As regular units from the further garrisons of Empire arrived back in England, many having waited until a Territorial unit had gone out to replace them, they were formed up into three Divisions, numbered 27th to 29th. The 28th was formed at Hursley, Pitt Hill and Magdalen Hill Camps near Winchester in December 1914 – January 1915 and was rushed as a much-needed reinforcement to France. Shortage of some types of units were filled by Territorial units taken from other Divisions. The units of the Division embarked at Southampton and landed at Le Havre on 16-19 January 1915 and then moved to concentrate in the area between Bailleul and Hazebrouck. The Division subsequently took part in these actions:
The Second Battle of Ypres
The Battle of Loos
The Division was ordered on 19 October 1915 to to prepare to sail. The first units left Marseilles for Alexandria (Egypt) five days later and all units (except XXXI and CXLVI Brigades RFA) were there by 22 November. The Division was then ordered on to Salonika and completed its disembarkation on 4 January 1916.
2 October 1916: the occupation of Mazirko
31 October 1916: the capture of Barakli Jum'a
15 May 1917: the capture of Ferdie and Essex Trenches (near Barakli Jum'a)
16 October 1917: the capture of Barakli and Kumli
The Division lost a number of units in mid 1918; they were transferred to France
18-19 September 1918: the Battle of Doiran
22-28 September 1918: the pursuit to the Strumica valley
Hostilities with Bulgaria ceased on 30 September, with the Division by then in the area of Trnovo. The Division was ordered in early November to move to Gallipoli to occupy the Dardanelles Forts. On 14 November 85th Brigade arrived at Constantinople and Divisional HQ was established at Chanak

Reports over the weekend indicate that Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is expected to announce on April 13 that he will run for president in 2016. However, a number of obstacles will likely face the first-term senator.
Rubio was not an unknown or obscure political figure in Florida. He served as a state legislator for nine years, two of which he served as speaker of the House.
Challenging Crist in the Senate primary could have proved a battle, but Crist's early decision to support President Obama's economic stimulus plan was unacceptable within his party. The outcry was such that Crist defected to the Democrats and Rubio, as the alternative to Crist, claimed the nomination.
In a field with many more candidates, however, this volte-face will be harder to turn.
By making immigration reform a priority in 2013, Rubio experienced a backlash from the Republican base that supported him in 2010. In the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) straw poll, which tends to measure conservative and grassroots support, Rubio fell from second place with 23 percent in 2013 to less than four percent in 2015.
The Real Clear Politics polling average in Florida has Rubio at only 13.7 percent — in his home state. He trails former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and is only slightly ahead of neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
Despite deviations from conservative orthodoxy, John McCain and Mitt Romney were still able to win the presidential nomination. However, they faced few establishment rivals and adhered to a hawkish foreign policy. Rubio, who generally identifies as a conservative, could face a tougher road than those predecessors.
Although the GOP appears to remain hawkish, Rubio could find himself on the wrong side of issues as they concern Republican primary voters. As an early supporter of the 2011 intervention in Libya, Rubio would have to defend himself to conservative voters about why he was on the same side as possible Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Additionally, the GOP field is also likely to see other hawks such as Peter King and Lindsey Graham run. Alongside them could be governors Scott Walker and Chris Christie, who have also fashioned themselves on hawkish lines. Combined with fewer debates than in recent cycles, this could inhibit Rubio's ability to stand out from the crowd and make his voice heard.
Rubio's electability might also be overestimated. When he won in 2010 with 2.6 million votes, slightly less than 50 percent of the voting population turned out to participate in the election. It was the second-lowest voter turnout in Florida in 50 years.
Two years later, in 2012, when turnout was much higher, Republican Connie Mack finished with 3.4 million and was still more than 1 million votes shy of Sen. Bill Nelson. For a closer comparison, in the previous midterm Senate election in 2006, Nelson earned 2.8 million, about 200,000 more than Rubio in 2010.
The 2016 field is far from complete and while Marco Rubio is likely to have backers, he also faces many question marks.

Proposal for Physicians to Share Reward and Punishment for Care
The American College of Surgeons recently announced submissions of their plan for attribution of care and physician payment to the Health and Human Services Department's Planning and Evaluation Office of Health Policy. Let's discuss their approach to attribution, since surgery is a team activity.
5 Great Medical Lessons from Funny Movies
Since I believe laughter is often the best medicine, I didn't have to look very far to find funny movie scenes that also delivered meaningful medical lessons.
Gary Ruskin, GMO Labeling Movement Funded by Anti-Vaxxers
We are being confronted with very important questions about the anti-GMO movement and Mr. Ruskin, an anti-GMO activist who operates the website U.S. Right to Know. Are anti-GMOers also anti-vaxxers?2 If not, then why do they take money from anti-vaxxers?
'Science' Finally Retracts An Absolute Mess Of A Paper
A high-profile paper has finally been retracted by the journal Science after 10 months of investigation. The work has been ruled to be so full of negligence by an ethical review board – which discovered missing data and flat-out lies – it's a wonder how it was ever accepted in the first place.
Are Microbiologists Climate-Denying Science Haters?
Recently, in a room full of microbiologists, this question was posed: "How many of you believe climate change is the world's #1 threat?" Silence. Not a single person's hand was raised. Were they all rejecting science? No, not at all. They just didn't see it as threatening as antibiotic resistance, pandemic disease or geopolitical instability.
Well Done, Ed Sheeran! Keep that Spotlight on Rare Disease
And, the award for best promoting public health and being a patient advocate goes to ... musician Ed Sheeran!
Dear America, Contraception Works
We didn't think that questioning the efficacy of contraception was still a thing. So we took a look at the data, just to be sure. And as we suspected, the facts show that the most-widely used forms of birth control don't just work, but when used properly they are incredibly effective.
Algorithms In Medicine
Medicine has used algorithms and machines to make diagnostic statements for many years. But are we prepared for algorithms that we don't understand?
No, Stephen Hawking, We Won't Have to Abandon Earth in 100 Years
While brilliant, Stephen Hawking states uninformed opinions, like when the theoretical physicist claimed a few years ago that "philosophy is dead." In an upcoming documentary, Dr. Hawking says humans must flee from the planet because of "climate change, asteroid strikes, epidemics and overpopulation." But he's wrong on every single count.
Dear Gary Ruskin and Anti-GMOers, Stop Being Puppets for Putin
RT is Russia's propaganda outlet in the U.S. and around the world, which broadcasts "news" that advances the agenda of President Vladimir Putin. Ruskin heads U.S. Right to Know, which insists on GMO labeling as a way of scaring Americans about food safety. And USRTK gets a ton of dough from a group which is known to propagandize for RT.
75% of US Motorists Fear Self-Driving Cars
Drivers distrust self-driving cars just as much as they did a year ago, with three of four adults seeking to avoid them according to a new consumer-research survey. However, there is "interest in emergency braking and steering system technology" – as long as drivers can keep their hands on the wheel.
DC: Try To Stay Healthy This Weekend - The Naturopaths Are Coming
Recently, students and practitioners of naturopathy from all over the country made their annual trek to Washington DC to (1) learn how to lobby, and (2) lobby in support of naturopathy.


After our social media followers get the first word, we post a wrap-up here at the site and archive 'em here. This week check out Q&As with Rome, All Them Witches, Northumbria and Benny the Jet Rodriguez.
Jerome: I have to admit that there is a certain amount of randomness to some of it, but we are trying to play most of the European capitals and we want to include as many exotic places as we can. I am also throwing in some solo dates here and there to really fill up the schedule.
SPB: What is your favorite book about music?
Parks: The way I feel about books on music is the same way I have always felt about music classes, and that is that they have no place in my life. That being said, I do remember the first time I fell in love with the way an author intertwined music into their work. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'engle has a way of putting music and cadence into each scene without explicitly saying so. Soon after, I began to immerse myself in Shakespeare's works where the iambic pentameter hums close to the human heartbeat and uses the full capacity of the lungs, breathing at punctuation to create music without notes.
SPB: You recorded your first album in a church - what was it about the space that appealed to you and what kind of spaces would you like to utilise in the future?
Dorian: The main reason we chose to record in a church was because we wanted to track at a very high volume level, beyond what would have been possible in a studio environment. The reactivity of the sound changes so much at very high levels. The amps and guitars come alive, and we just act as kind of a conduit. You can feel it breathe and change shape and almost go out of control. We also knew we wanted to do everything live with no overdubs, so using an acoustically vibrant space with a combination of distant and close mics gave us more flexibility later in the mixdown.
Because our records are very much documents of a live event, we'd love to use different spaces for future recordings. Both Jim and I want to do something in giant abandoned industrial space sometime. We've also toyed with the idea of doing something extremely loud outside, far out in nature, where we can use the landscape as a musical element: like in a valley or a fjord. This music very much feeds back on itself and becomes an entity of its own, so anywhere we choose to record and play will have a big effect on the final outcome.
SPB: Do you wear earplugs when you play? Why/why not?
L. Freeman: I do wear ear plugs. For a long time I used to wear construction headphones at practice and on stage. Once I saved up enough I bought custom noise canceling earplugs that helped level out noise for me. I've had hearing issues since I was a kid and from playing music for this long its only gotten worse. It got to the point where I can't hear myself sing at all through a PA system unless I wear them. I recommend every full-time musician get a pair of earplugs--this company Hearos make an affordable pair that fit comfortably.

President-elect Trump has selected Myron Ebell, who disputes the scientific consensus around anthropogenic global warming, to lead the EPA transition team.
President-elect Trump has selected a climate change skeptic to head the team in charge of the transition between Obama and Trump's Environmental Protection Agencies.
…comprises over two dozen non-profit groups in this country and abroad that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy rationing policies.
EBELL: […] What we're fighting is the expansion of government. And there are many pretexts for expanding government.
HOCKENBERRY: Opposing government action on climate change to defend American freedom is a perfect fit.
EBELL: We felt that if you concede the science is settled and that there's a consensus, you cannot— the moral high ground has been ceded to the alarmists.
HOCKENBERRY: So you had to go to work and break down this consensus.
EBELL: Yes. And we did it because we believed that the consensus was phony. We believed that the so-called global warming consensus was not based on science, but was a political consensus, which included a number of scientists.
Complementing the weak scientific case for alarm, many people have realised that warmer climates are more pleasant and healthier. That's why Americans move to Phoenix or Florida when they retire. If global warming theory turns out to be correct and winters become milder, then they may not be so eager to move from Michigan or New York.

Q: ASP MVC 4 User logout after each request I'm working on Asp Mvc 4 project that is working very good on my development system, it's also working very good on my demo hosting server.
But when i upload site on client's server it ask for log in on each page. and when i log in on one page i can perform action on that page. but if it open another page it redirect me to log in page again.
I can't understand the reason. Because it works fine on my local system and also on my demo hosting. But on client hosting it behave like this.
I'm using custom Authorization Attribute. but i use this method on another site that is running very well.

From time to time we will do posts linking to other blogs or websites that have great content. Today we feature a series done by the SlowBoat.com crew - their 2017 Flotilla to Alaska. I have done this trip myself, both ways.
This is hands down the best set of blog posts and photography on this particular journey I have ever seen. Each day is documented with excellent photos, including fantastic drone work.
Their flotilla is a group of boats that are heading to Alaska from Seattle, for the first time. One of the SlowBoat crew is Laura Domela, a professional photographer, and her images are outstanding.
Talk about armchair cruising! Here's the link to the index page: 2017 SlowBoat to Alaska Flotilla.
I know you are going to enjoy it. One day you will see similar posts and images right here on Mahalo's blog.
