This film was all I ever wanted it to be.
Now I have a proper job (I KNOW!) one of my work perks was being able to see this bad boy early. Before I went in, I felt like me and my buddy Scott were the only two people in the entire UK who were on board with this remake of a 80s classic.
But I think people will change their mind now. Not only because their promotion is INSANE (they've taken over one of the biggest stations in London and turned it into a Ghostbusters shrine – it's pretty dope), but because the film is actually pretty good.
In fact, I had an amazing time.
Four female scientists use their expertise in the paranormal to battle ghosts across New York City, with the help of a kickass former subway worker who knows the city inside out, and a ditzy receptionist.
The film starts out strong but loses it's strength as it hits the final act a little. It's a bit of a shame, because the build-up towards that end is amazing. It just fluffs a bit and unfortunately relies on former iconic stars (StayPuft and Slimer) at this crucial point rather than creating it's own spectacle.
This could've been a great point for the film to completely break into it's own merits, but that doesn't mean it still wasn't original.
Does it beat the original? No. But it was never going to and I think they were playing it smart by acknowledging its predecessor without making a direct carbon copy of it.
I would've graded it an A if they had taken a few more risks.
Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and writer Paul Feig are already a winning combination. The addition of Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon was a smart move and I would not be shocked to see this group reunite in the future.
I'm crushing hard on Kate McKinnon after seeing her play the most badass member of the team, and that's saying something – she shares a lot of screen time with Chris Hemsworth, who does a great job of turning the blonde bimbo trope on its head.
It's a struggle to find a flaw in him and it's really annoying.
On top of having four comedy goddesses running the show, I was shocked to see that they weren't afraid to dip their toe in the scary a little – I felt a bit bad for the crying kid in the audience at my screening, parents clearly weren't prepared.
*SPOILER* However, I don't understand the Ozzy Osbourne cameo – that was weird as hell and completely unnecessary. It kind of killed the vibe a little bit.
Ghostbusters is in cinemas now.

Trade wars can lead to EU-Turkey reconvergence
June 17 2019 00:05:00
Barçın Yinanç-ISTANBUL
The European Union's uncompromising emphasis on the rules of the game might be changing due to trade wars, according to Memduh Karakullukçu, president of Istanbul-based Global Relations Forum. This fundamental mind shift could provide an opportunity for a European-Turkish reconvergence, he said.
"With the change that is forthcoming, I am implying a reversal of direction where Europeans would see value in having more than transactional relations with Turkey," he told the Daily News.
Tell us how you view trade wars.
There is a potential reversal of the pecking order among the big powers.
The Chinese feel they may surpass the U.S., and the Americans feel that this is a possibility. That potential change in the pecking order is the underlying driving force of the trade wars.
One of the scenarios is decoupling: the Chinese may end up being somewhat decoupled from the global trading and technology order, which will slow down their growth and the possibility of a catch-up.
With this decoupling, technology production and new technology waves may come with separate standards rather that globally-equivalent compatible standards. We are potentially talking about a whole restructuring of globalization as we know it.
But the fundamental question is an existential one: who is going to be the leader of the 21th century? As long as that question is not answered with finality, these back-and-forth tensions will continue, and that will bring immense uncertainty to the global system.
That, in turn, will bring down global growth rates, which has huge implications for countries like ours because we thrive on global growth and trade. There is a whole range of repercussions that we'll have to deal with.
Let's elaborate on these repercussions.
There is a good chance that this will be a less open, less globalized world. That will take adjusting because our economic model since the '80s has been based on openness and trade and integrating with the world. If the world itself is fragmenting, we don't know yet the shape of the fragmentation. It could be simple decoupling: China and maybe a few other countries around China versus the rest of the world. For us, it might be either a matter of choosing between blocks; this will have all kinds of other implications from security to democracy, to values, etcetera. Or we may have the diplomatic skills and the leverage to play one against the other.
Normally, Turkey used to align itself with the Western bloc, which is actually fragmented as well.
This 70-plus years of tradition and understanding brings us to that conclusion. But there could be nuances. At the moment, the Europeans are upset that the multilateral system is being undermined by the U.S. President. But they know that their economic understanding is closer to the U.S. than the Chinese. Yet they have significant exposure in terms of trade with the Chinese so they are worried about upsetting China. They are playing a very difficult balancing game.
If the Europeans find a middle way, we could tag along and that would be a nice solution. If the Europeans become an independent pole so you have the Chinese and the U.S. and the Europeans as separate economic competitors, then we would have a very interesting choice.
Tell me what are Turkey's strengths and weaknesses facing these trade wars.
The downside is that as this turmoil continues and the Chinese trade with the globe decreases, global growth is likely to be below what we thought it would be. That would be bad news for us.
On the upside, as the Chinese are being pushed out of the trading system and global value chains by the Americans, it already is benefiting other countries. The trade diversion brings opportunities especially in global value chains.
Can we bring ourselves into those global value chains? Do we have the industrial ability to interject into those global value chains? Another point: we entered an era where economic power is being weaponized extensively. The Americans are using their economic might, they are putting tariffs, and they are imposing sanctions.
Europeans are very frustrated with this. We have allies that are not happy. So I would advise us to look around for strong players who are unhappy with misuse of economic power and to work with them.
Does that mean that Turkey should align with its traditional allies?
Because of our mental habits, that comes up as the natural solution. But I don't want to rule out something more creative. Within the belt and road initiative (BRI), the Chinese have already reached out into Greece and Italy. If the Europeans find a way to work with the Chinese, that means there are possible configurations where we can share the same spirit and value system with our traditional allies and pursue pragmatic exceptions. And BRI may prove to be one of them. I think there will be pockets of exceptions and opportunities, and we'll need to be more creative and open-minded identifying those opportunities.
Turkey is also affected by weaponization of economic power. Will Europeans be our natural allies?
Traditionally, Europeans were really happy with globalization. But due to the recent developments, for the first time you see the Germans approaching the French position on using economic power for political purposes. That's a fundamental mind shift. You see the state getting into the game of economics; this is a different mental arrangement, which I think could provide an opportunity for a European-Turkish reconvergence.
How do you think Turkey's relations with the EU will unfold? How important will be the updating of the customs union?
The customs union process is precious, and we should proceed to build on it.
But we should not be locking ourselves into one or two instruments. There is much more room to find other ways to leverage the political economic interface that is emerging. If the Europeans want to be an independent economic pole in the world, Turkish presence in some form will add value to that project.
What I am saying is different than the traditional understanding of Turkey's strategic value in terms of its geopolitics, etc.
EU's uncompromising emphasis on the rules of the game might be changing. Their industrial policies are very strict, for instance. But when you start creating room for flexibility within European rules, that creates a new set of opportunities where we can talk about a lot of issues on a different level.
But how would this translate into reality? There has already been a change into transactional relations.
I am talking about a change in the reverse direction. Going from the deeper integration and membership to transactional is obviously a downgrade.
With the change that is forthcoming, I am implying a reversal of direction where they would see value in having more than transactional relations with Turkey. We might have a reversal of that downward trend mainly because they are forced to play a much bigger game, provided, of course, we share with them their vision of global order. It is a matter of testing waters on both sides. Do we have similar principles? In some sense, we do: Turkey would prefer a world governed by rules, and that's what the Europeans want.

A milk bag is a plastic bag that contains milk. Usually one of the corners is cut off to allow for pouring, and the bag is stored in a pitcher or jug.

A typical milk bag contains approximately  of milk in South America, Iran, Israel, and continental European countries, while in the United Kingdom they contain , in Canada , and in India, .

History
In Canada, before the late 1960s, milk was packaged in heavy, reusable Imperial unit glass milk bottles and later cardboard cartons and plastic jugs. In 1967, DuPont, using European equipment, introduced plastic bags to store and sell milk. With Canada's conversion to the metric system in the 1970s, bottles, jugs, and cartons had to be thrown out, re-designed, and manufactured in metric units, while milk bag packaging machines could easily be resized.

The milk bags found favour with the domestic dairy industry, being lighter and less fragile than glass bottles. However, the consumer public preferred plastic jugs for years, but largely accepted the new containers in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes in the 1970s. Regulation in Ontario that required retailers to collect a deposit on milk jugs, but not bags, also motivated the practice.

Yogurt
In the Baltic rim countries, e.g., Estonia, and some Eastern European countries, the similar bags may also be seen used for packaging yogurt or kefir.

By country and region

Australia
Milk bags were used in Australia (Greater Shepparton, Victoria), in the late 1990s, distributed by Shepparton-based dairy company Ducats. They were also used in Gympie, Queensland, in the 1970s and early 1980s, and also in Caboolture, Queensland around the same time. These were one pint in size.

Argentina
Colloquially known as sachets, La Serenisima first adopted the milk bag in 1968 as a replacement for then more common glass bottle. Initially a cost-cutting measure, the 1l. sachet steadily grew in popularity as it proved more convenient and cheaper than carton or plastic jugs. Nowadays all dairy companies offer recyclable multi-use plastic sachets.

Canada

Milk bags are sold in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, but not widely sold in western Canada, in Newfoundland and Labrador, or the territories. Three bags are sold together in a larger bag containing a total of  of milk. The bags are not sold individually, and are either not labeled at all or labeled with only the expiry date, the lot number, and sometimes the type of milk contained in the bag. The three-bag  package is the largest normally sold at retail, with the lowest unit price. Some convenience store chains offer  plastic jugs instead of milk bags, even in eastern Canada. Two accessories are commonly associated with Canadian milk bags — pitchers and bag openers. The key-shaped bag opener with a clip and a magnet was invented in Toronto in 1979. These bag openers are a common type of refrigerator magnet, although the bags can be opened with scissors or knives. Large milk bags inside corrugated boxes (bag-in-box) are often used in milk dispensers at schools and institutions.

India
In urban parts of India, milk is most commonly sold in 0.5-litre and 1-litre bags.

Israel

In Israel, milk in a bag is the most common type of packaging for milk. They became the standard form of milk packaging in the 1960s, with the discontinuation of glass bottles. In Israel, the milk bag is a regulated product, which means that its price is controlled by the state. Therefore, there are price differences between the milk bags and the other alternatives available for marketing milk — plastic bottles or milk cartons. Due to the price differences, a relationship was observed between the socioeconomic status of the consumer and the type of milk container that they customarily purchased. The higher the socio-economic status of the purchaser, the more likely they are to buy milk in cartons rather than in bags, despite the higher price of cartons. Based on these differences, Blue Square Network created a way to measure the socioeconomic status of an area based on the sales ratio of milk cartons versus bagged milk. The higher the ratio of the former to the latter, the higher the status of the region in Israel. For religious Jews, opening a bag of milk can be considered problematic on Shabbat, because the action requires cutting. Eli Yishai, Israel's former minister of internal affairs, used empty milk bags in the Knesset as props to complain about price-hikes in the cost of milk.

Korea
In Korea, milk was occasionally sold in plastic bags until 1988. Since 1974, Seoul Milk has been marketing coffee milk in small, single-serving  bags.

Mexico
In Mexico, assistance programs and prior welfare and government social programs distribute milk in bags ( per bag) at very low prices.

South Africa

In South Africa, milk is commonly sold in 1L bags, called 'sachets', by companies including Darling Romery, Pick n Pay, Shoprite Checkers, and Denmar Dairies, as an alternative to plastic containers and cartons, which are however more common. The sachets are usually fit inside a separately bought plastic milk jug for easy pouring.

South America

Milk bags are also commonly used in Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, Sainsbury's began a pilot experiment on distributing milk in bags in 2008 in conjunction with Dairy Crest. It was originally targeted at 35 stores at the same price as a regular  plastic bottle of milk. The product was expanded nationwide in 2010, at which point the bags retailed at a discounted price compared to traditional containers. In the UK, the bags are usually used in conjunction with a specialized plastic jug. The bag fits snugly inside the jug; one corner of the bag is secured under a bar at the front of the jug, and as the lid is closed, the bag is pierced and a spout slides into the hole, maintaining freshness and allowing the milk to be easily poured. Doorstep deliveries in the United Kingdom are normally associated with traditional glass milk bottles, but the Dairy Crest/Milk & More service also delivers milk bags and sells JugIt brand plastic jugs specially designed to hold the milk bags. After lengthy negotiations, Milk & More was bought by dairy giant Müller from Dairy Crest in December 2015 and sales of the JugIt plastic bags ceased.

United States
Some dairies in the United States used the bags in the 1980s, but today milk bags are extremely rare, confined mainly to regional convenience store chains with in-house dairies, such as Kwik Trip in the Upper Midwest and other boutique dairies.

In the late 80's and early 90's, bagged milk was found in school districts in 24 states. The DuPont produced "mini-sip pouches" replaced the traditional carton for a short-time. However, the popularity of them waned. There appears to only be one, verified school district in Omaha, NE using bagged milk as recently as 2015.

Milk bags continue to be used in the food service industry, where the milk bag is usually put in a container for use with a milk dispenser.

Vietnam
In Vietnam, milk is widely sold in smaller 200 ml (6.7 fl oz.) Tetra Pak bags. All major dairy companies of Vietnam offer a wide range of products, including UHT plain milk, chocolate milk and soy milk, in bags.

Benefits
The principal benefits of bagged milk are economy and freshness. For producers, it is easier to vary portion size when sealing bags than cartons, as well as lowering the cost of packaging. Milk bags also take up less space in the garbage. For consumers, bags typically allow for smaller portion sizes. This theoretically reduces the risk of spoilage, as well as the space and location of storage in the fridge.

Drawbacks
On occasion, the top of the bag can turn over while pouring, causing the milk to spill. Spillage can be avoided by cutting a secondary hole at the other side of the bag for air intake, by pinching the top of the bag while pouring, or by using a pitcher with a lid to keep the milk bag in place.

Milk bags cannot easily be sealed once open, although some consumers fold over the spout and use clips to help maintain freshness. Also, some companies use common single-ply LDPE bags which are easy to pierce and tear, and must be handled and transported with care to avoid product losses.

Environmental concerns
While milk bags use less plastic than standard plastic bottles or jugs, empty bags are often not accepted when mixed with other plastics. In Canada, where recycling services are municipally or regionally managed, milk bags may not always be recycled. In some municipalities milk bags are required to be discarded as garbage and in others they are recyclable.

A family reunion, with punching: The Georgia Southern preview.
Thus begins the series of previews for each week's opponents sort of like the ones I did last year, though they're sort of a combination of the "A Bulldog Tempts the Wrath of a Vengeful God" series that I didn't do this year with the in-week game-by-game previews. My goal is for them to be just as informative as they were last year, though that's a low bar to jump over. By the way, I'm still looking for as many UGA-GSU tickets as anyone's willing to sell me, so shoot me an e-mail if you know where I can find and/or trade sexual favors for some.
And now: the Eagles.
Hometown: Statesboro, Georgia.
Last season: The Eagles missed the I-AA playoffs in Chris Hatcher's first year as head coach, but did finish with a 7-4 record, and were one of only two teams to beat eventual FCS champion Appalachian State (the other of which, quite conspicuously, was not Michigan).
Hate index, 1 being Zaxby's chicken fingers, 10 being chlamydia: Two. Maybe even one and a half. They don't even play in our division, so why bother pointing hate-daggers at them? Plus, not only are they the team that legendary Georgia DC Erk Russell turned into a I-AA juggernaut, one of the coolest chicks I've ever dated in my life got her degree from there. So no animosity for you, GSU. Like Jesus, you're just all right with me.
Associated hottie: Former GSU student Meredith Laine is listed in her IMDb filmography as having appeared in a straight-to-video version of "War of the Worlds" and a 2007 film called "Once in a Lifetime: Just Go For It." What this bio doesn't answer is whether she's the same Meredith Laine who's made several appearances in the "Bikini Classroom" series of saucy computer tutorials, but for right now let's just assume that she is, because that gives me an excuse to post this video of a chick in a bathing suit 'splaining Windows XP:
There's actually not a lot of T&A once you get into the meat of the tutorial, but still, I think this kicks the ass of whatever Video Professor's putting out there. John W. Scherer, consider yourself replaced.

What excites me: Southern put up a bundle of points last year in the "Hatch Attack" spread system, but those points were posted mostly against D-IAA defenses, and Hatcher only has three returning starters on his offense this year. Jayson Foster, who could literally play every single skill position on the offense and who was signed as a UFA by the Miami Dolphins in the spring after winning the 2007 Walter Payton Award and Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors, is not one of them. So even if GSU somehow finds success scoring on their SoCon rivals, I doubt they're going to find the same kind of success scoring on the Dawgs. Particularly not when Georgia, along with the rest of the country, has been put on Code-Fuchsia Upset Alert regarding FCS opponents after last year's Michigan-App State shocker. I'm not saying Georgia's going to be treating these guys like the Gators, but it's safe to say they're taking them a little more seriously than they would have, say, four or five years ago.
Defensively, Southern allowed 31.6 points per game last year, which again, aside from a season finale against 3-9 Colorado State, was put up by D-IAA offenses. Not only are they going up against the likes of Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno, they'll be doing so without a number of starters. Yes, Georgia's going to be a little short-handed themselves thanks variously to injuries and scrapes with the law, but in the end, the team you'd rather be coming into this game is still the Dawgs.
What worries me: This, obvs. And while I know I just said Georgia would be taking the Eagles a little more seriously this year for that very reason, I'd be lying if I said I was 100-percent confident in Georgia's focus and determination. I was in Sanford Stadium for both this game and this one, and while the final scores both look respectable at a glance, they don't reflect the sloppy play I remember witnessing both times. And considering that all the talk in the preseason has been about how Georgia's schedule is loaded with Top-25 title contenders like Florida, LSU, and Arizona State, GSU definitely wins the Most Likely to Be Overlooked award.
And we all know how that has the potential to turn out.
The spread system that Southern will be bringing to Athens this weekend isn't exactly the same as the older-school triple-option attack that gashed a future-NFL-draftee-laden Dawg defense for 294 rushing yards in 2004, but it's similar enough that I'm preparing myself for at least one or two big Eagle plays in the early going. Of course, a lot of that comes down to tackling fundamentals, and while my memory may be faulty here I seem to recall a few of GSU's plays becoming bigger than they should have in '04 thanks to Georgia defenders not fully wrapping up their guys and taking them all the way down. Hopefully we'll be as solid in that area as our wealth of talent on defense says we should be, but again, in these early-season supposed-to-be-gimme matchups it's hard to tell.
Player who needs to step up: LT Kiante Tripp. With the Dawgs fully expected to be hitting on all cylinders at every other position against GSU, all eyes are going to be on the OL's blindside guy to see whether he can fill the injured Trinton Sturdivant's substantial shoes. And given that Sturdivant's absence has already prompted some pundits to start bumping the Dawgs down from the #1 spot, Tripp needs to be near-perfect -- I'm willing to bet that if Stafford gets sacked even once, substantial portions of the pundit class will begin sounding the funeral bells for Georgia's national-title hopes. Got all that, Kiante? OK, now get out there and have fun!
What I think will happen: I think it'll be a fun weekend, for starters -- with little on the line and the outcome not really in doubt, these quadrennial UGA-GSU matchups are like laid-back family reunions, with fans on both sides running into people they went to high school with and compliments flowing freely about each side's team. Maybe the GSU partisans will be emboldened enough by last year's App State shocker that they'll carry a little more piss and vinegar with them into Athens than usual, but even then I expect a good time will be had by all.
Whether that good time has anything to do with the actual play on the field, of course, is anyone's guess. Outside of GSU, I've been vocal in my displeasure with seeing FCS opponents tacked onto our schedule, partly because I think it's beneath us, partly because those games usually suck: Last year against Western Carolina, a shitty team even by FCS standards, we dicked around and were leading only 10-6 halfway through the second quarter. The previous year, we thumped Western Kentucky pretty good, but not enough that the dumbass mistakes (Mikey Henderson's punt-return shenanigans, an inexplicable safety in the fourth quarter) weren't still the most memorable part of the afternoon. And GSU 2004, while a 20-point victory, was still a game we were pretty happy just to see end.
A tackle would be nice here. Just sayin'.
Given that this year's Georgia Southern team probably won't be as good as either WKU 2006 or GSU 2004 -- this site, for example, has them finishing fifth out of nine in the Southern Conference -- we should perform a little better than in either of those games, but between suspensions, the distractions of being the #1 team in the country, and simple early-season rustiness, there will still be ample opportunity for silly-ass mental errors. Even when not really trying, though, we've still consistently scored in the forties against D-IAA opposition, so I'm going to guess we go into halftime ahead by a ho-hum margin of something like 23-10 before our superior depth takes over in the second half and we win by, like, 47-17. Statistically, the game won't be anything to get excited about, as all our top RBs will probably get pulled before any of them can break 100 yards and several of our scores will be set up by special-teams plays or turnovers.
Of course, if God has decided that Georgia has used up their reserve of grace and good will and GSU ends up pulling an App State, I was drunk when I wrote all this. Not that it'll matter, since I will have dropped a toaster oven into the bathtub long before anyone has a chance to come on here and gloat.
If you're trash-talking: This doesn't meet the classical definition of "trash talk" exactly, but in the unlikely event that you run into a particularly mouthy GSU fan who insists that last year's App State upset means doom for the Dawgs, you could remind him or her that Southern wouldn't have a football program at all were it not for UGA. Erk Russell, the legendary Georgia D-coordinator under Vince Dooley, left Athens in 1982 to resurrect a GSU football program that had been suspended at the start of World War II and hadn't played a game since. Russell then led them to a I-AA national title in just four seasons.
No word on how many headbutts he gave, though, since that statistic wasn't officially kept at the I-AA level until the mid-nineties.
Why you should root for Georgia even if you don't care about this game: Because Uga VII, the latest in Georgia's proud lineage of mascots, will be "unveiled" in a ceremony right before the game, and why would you want something as wonderful as that to be overshadowed by what would certainly be Georgia's most humiliating defeat ever?
I will run up and down Highland Avenue in front of my apartment building wearing nothing but a Georgia flag if: Georgia breaks the half-century mark on the scoreboard. Not that I'm particularly interested in humiliating the Eagles, mind you, it just seems like dropping a 50-bomb on somebody is something that the truly elite teams do at least once every couple years or so -- most of them even turn it into a 60- or 70-bomb -- but Georgia, surprisingly, hasn't done it since 2004. Your phun phact of the day is that nobody has won a national title in the BCS era without laying 50 points on somebody at least once, so Mark, we might as well get it out of the way now. I know you've scrupulously avoided being a run-up-the-score kind of guy and everything, and that's admirable, but my parents are going to be there, so just this once, couldn't you light somebody up?

The 50+ point game in question (2004 @ Kentucky) was strange. Kentucky was pretty terrible that year, but that was the mother of all trap games- right after the (finally!) win over Florida, and right before the trip down to Auburn. It was a road game, it was an early start, and I smelled a 23-10 snoozer from a mile away. Turns out Kentucky couldn't even stop the third string offense. Weird.
Wish we would have saved some of those points for Auburn. Oh well.
Funny little Red & Black nugget- the final score of that game (Georgia 62, Kentucky 17) was the exact same thing as our generic football score graphic at the time. I think after the rancid 13-3 game against Marshall that year I said if Georgia ever put 62 points on anyone that year, I'd eat my hat/field turf/whatever.
I sort of don't think Richt will do it, but I'm hoping that maybe he lets us pull off the gloves and whomp on GSU. I don't hate GSU or anything ... I just think it's an opportunity to send a message that this is for real.
If, on the other hand, we have one of our traditional lackluster openings against a lesser opponent, I will be very disappointed.

Sky reportedly close to acquiring MTV Italia channel
15th June 2015 @ 11:04
European pay TV group Sky is reportedly close to striking a deal with Viacom to acquire MTV Italia, extending its digital-terrestrial presence in the country's via DTT channel 8, which broadcasts the youth-oriented service.
According to newspaper La Repubblica, Sky plans to relaunch channel 8 as a free-to-air service in August, possibly with sports content. Sky already operates two channels on the Italian digital-terrestrial platform – Cielo and news service Sky Tg24.
According to La Republicca, Sky is also seeking an exclusive programme supply deal with Viacom, ensuring that channels including Nickelodeon, Nick Jr and Comedy Central only appear on the pay TV platform's line-up.
According to the newspaper, Sky will pay for the service in two tranches, with the second tranche dependent on the outcome of a lawsuit launched by local TV channel provider Telenorba on the numbering of channels on the DTT platform.
Separately, Sky's Italian rival Mediaset last week signalled its intention to compete more aggressively in pay TV, launching a new Premium Sport channel in July and focusing its attention on its exclusive rights to Champions League football. Mediaset will also launch a new movie channel, Premium Cinema HD 2, with exclusive deals singed earlier in June with Warner Bros and NBCUniversal.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in the knee. The ACL can be injured during sports or other twisting injuries. If the ACL is damaged, your knee will be more unstable. If you want to continue an active lifestyle, stability of the knee is crucial and ACL reconstruction may be necessary. Different grafts can be used to replace the torn ligament and to restore function and stability to your knee joint.

Bajaj Auto Ltd has shelved a project to develop a low-cost minicar in India for Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co, saying it was commercially unviable, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The company is not planning to get into the low-margin passenger car business, the report quoted Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj as saying.
The company will instead unveil a low-cost commercial vehicle in January, the paper said.
The Renault-Nissan alliance signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last year with India's second-largest two-wheeler maker to develop an ultra low-cost car for India and other emerging markets and had planned to launch it in 2012.
The car was expected to rival Tata Motors' Nano, the world's cheapest car.
The design, manufacturing and sourcing for the car was to be done by Bajaj, and Renault-Nissan would handle marketing in India and overseas, according to the agreement between the companies.
Nissan spokesman Simon Sproule said in Tokyo that the partners would be facing certain milestones in making decisions for the project in the next few weeks, but the company had no immediate announcement to make.
Bajaj Auto and Renault could not be immediately reached for comments.
