Miley Cyrus says her mom's black Porsche -- which she inherited around her 16th birthday -- was driving her crazy.So she ditched it for a new set of wheels.
"I didn't like it 'cause it was bad for the environment, and it was too big," she says in a new video on her Web site. "My dad surprised me last night with a black Prius."
She likes it better because it's "good for the environment, and it's adorable!"
Her first item of decor: "I'm gonna get Hello Kitty floor mats!"
Cyrus, who turned 16 in November and recently obtained her driver's license, had been longing for her dream car for some time.
Last August, she told Radio Disney that she wanted a car that was "big enough for all my friends and to scare all the cars away from me. I'm a good driver but it's everyone else that I'm worried about!"
Oh, what a big thing to do! Toss away the Porsche for the Prius.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm being a big man-bitch here, but this whole article just sort of rubbed me the wrong way.
You know what my first car was? It was a big, gray station wagon that only ran once in a while. I got that when I was 20 because my mommy wouldn't pass down her old car to me. If she had, I would have had a Toyota Camry with no rear window and more rust on it than you could imagine. I seem to remember there being a clear bag as one of the windows for about six months until they could replace it, and that rear window was actually replaced with a piece of plexi glass from Home Depot.
Your own car at 16? First a Porsche, then a Prius? My God, I feel so bad for her. How could her mother be so cruel as to hand her a Porsche, as bad for the environment as it is and all? Tsk tsk. There's a hot place in hell for a mom like that! *insert eye rolling*
Worldwide, a day more than 500 million newspapers printed, and on the same day thrown in the trash. These are vast quantities of paper waste that can deal with electronic newspapers could save.
The idea of an electronic newspaper is not new. Already some years ago came an idea of an electronic newspaper on the Gegestucks, but it was postponed on several occasions. It provides the electronic newspaper many advantages: Reasons for the postponement of the project were mainly technical problems with the implementation. But now several such as companies Pressmart.net have the breakthrough and could possibly already this year, e-papers and eMagazines on the market. With low power consumption, the micro-capsules reversed, so that an image or a text. The system called Smart Paper is not just black / white, but has the advantage that it is extremely energy-saving, since it only consumes power when a new image is created. If only it is finished loading times, it requires no more power. Also, the market system similar to the e-Paper Company. Here are moving black and white micro-particles in many liquid-filled microcapsules to a black or white pixel display. The dissolution of the e-paper is at 160 dpi is much worse than the 300 dpi of SynchroSign message board, but still insufficient. However, both systems have a disadvantage compared to the normal paper. You can e-fold even neither paper roll. Remedy to create plastics executives here. This works on a permanent basis but not faultless. Even the color reproduction of images or even video is anything but marketable. But it is only a matter of time until these teething problems are resolved. We should be excited...
* The cost of production of the normal daily fall away.
* The old disposing of waste paper also deleted.
* The newspaper would always up to date, since that would constantly update.
Digital libraries are invented in the mid of 90’s. Digital library is a library in which collections are stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers. The digital content may be stored locally, or accessed remotely via computer network
In the olden days, libraries might be like a place of silence where there are loads of shelves and even more books. There’s a certain smell in the air that makes you aware of all the books around, on a different perception channel. There’s the rest to sit down, read a book and to perceive that smell at all. There is whisper and librarians flit through the passages. It’s a place of serenity. You may meet educated people here. But now, all are going on digital and this technology made easy to access the books and other print material.
Historic content is the valuable source of information and which can be used in many aspects and also we have a responsibility to provide such information to our forth coming generations. In this point of view, digitization of libraries will be most important and which can only save it from loss of data. There are some companies like Pressmart offering full-service archive digitization to publications taking archives stored in physical formats of newsprint, microfilm or microfiche into multiple digital formats like scanned images, searchable PDF files, XML files, browser-based digital replicas, etc. Using sophisticated processes and patent-pending technology, Pressmart scans, enhances the image quality, disintegrates the publication pages into articles, ads and pictures and extracts key meta-data giving advanced search capabilities to the end users. A proprietary OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology converts the printed text into digital format and indexed to produce quick search results based on every keyword available in the archives. An enhanced high resolution page image is stored for future reproduction.
So, let’s put hands together for the digital revaluation to save the valuable historical data
Following the explanation of the technological foundations are strategic issues for the newspaper industry analyzed. Newspapers here are different concepts are recognized. The processes in a newspaper publisher based on the value chain are clear, with the changes of existing processes in the foreground. Fundamental modification learns the value chain in the fields of printing and distribution. The need for industry cooperation across borders is in the development of a technical and business distribution model for the Electronic Newspaper and Electronic Magazines clear. Newspapers are so different variants investigated in order to match the information obtained and the living environments of the respective recipient’s possible distribution models to identify.
For the subscription segment is a subsidy model, whereby both the sole production of an electronic newspaper as well as the parallel production alongside the traditional paper newspaper to be considered. In a scenario analysis can be used for publishing data representative of one significant potential to subsidize an electronic newspaper were identified. For the retail segment is a model of cooperation for a virtual kiosk developed.
The work is directed not only to scientifically oriented readers, but also to decision makers in media companies because a strong emphasis on action and recommendations on the inclusion of evidence from international expert’s interviews is laid.
