Animation Style - The Attraction of Anime

Before I discovered anime, I was a child of the Warner Bros, Hanna-Barbera, A.A.P.(Associated Artists Productions) and Disney generation. I was raised on Bugs, Jonny Q, Popeye and Mickey. My understanding of basic physics came from Professor W. E. Coyote. My early understanding of people came from B. Bunny. Yogi encouraged us to visit Yellowstone National Park and taught us not to feed the bears. Jonny Q made it cool to have a dad who was an international scientist. The Disney studio gave us the unforgettable mix of Hollywood spectacle, choreography and musical and also taught us the value of marketing, plus giving us a theme park or two. Anime has brought a whole new generation a different set of style, script, color palette, sound effects and cultural perspective. Strong Female Characters: If you haven't noticed, the characters I have mentioned above were male. In anime, female characters are prevalent, strong and held in esteem or respect.

Eco Tourism - Airlines in the Spotlight

Today international tourism generates more than half a trillion dollars a year. The number of people travelling internationally goes up by almost 5% each year. It was estimated that during the 2008 more than 800 million people have travelled across their home borders. The number will have shrunk this year due to the global recession, but it will definitely go up again next year. There is no stopping the global tourism market. We have to remember that many small countries are totally dependent on tourism as an industry. For some Pacific islands it accounts for three quarters of gross domestic product. Along with the traditional travel habits, a new phenomenon - eco tourism - is developing and growing. It advocates local holidays, cutting costs and finding less carbon-intensive means of moving from place A to place B. People are often surprised about how many great days out they can arrange locally. Airlines constantly get bad publicity from eco tourism supporters as the worth contri

What is Duodenal Ulcer and How to Diagnose?

The condition referred to as Duodenal Ulcer is one that typically announces itself as a sharp, severe pain in the upper part of the abdomen (the Epigastrium), appearing when a person is hungry and the stomach is empty. Essentially, duodenal ulcers are caused by too much acid in the stomach; when the acid proves too strong for the protective inner lining of the duodenum (the part where the stomach joins the small intestine), it starts, in effect, burning a hole in the stomach wall. It is this crater, or ulcer, which results in pain, particularly when there is no food inside the stomach to use up the acid that is being produced. Patients who develop duodenal ulcers usually tend to get relief from their pain by taking some milk, bland food or antacid tablets (like milk of magnesia), which can neutralize the excess acid. The danger of duodenal ulcers is that they erode the stomach wall - either perforating (so that the contents of the stomach leak out into the abdominal cavity) or erod
