Generation Y. This generation, also tagged the “millennial generation,” the “echo” or the “boomlet” generation, includes those born between 1980 and 2000. Generation Y is the most ethnically diverse
generation yet and is more than three times the size of generation X. They are a prime target for a food-service business. Generation X. Generation X is a label applied to those who were born between 1965 and 1977. This group is known for strong family values.Baby boomers. Born between 1946 and 1964, baby boomers make up the largest segment of the U.S. population. Prominent in this generation are affluent professionals who can afford to visit upscale restaurants and spend money freely.
Empty nesters. This group consists of people in the age range between the high end of the baby boomers and seniors (people in their early 50s to about age 64). Empty nesters typically have grown children who no longer live at home.
Seniors. The senior market covers the large age group of people age 65 and older. Generally, the majority of seniors are on fixed incomes and may not often be able to afford upscale restaurants often,
so they tend to visit family-style restaurants that offer good service and reasonable prices.

The First Academy Awards

null
The 1st Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 1927and 1928 and took place on May 16, 1929, at a private dinner held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, California. AMPAS presidentDouglas Fairbanks hosted the show. Tickets cost five dollars, 270 people attended the event and the ceremony lasted fifteen minutes. Awards were created by Louis B. Mayer, founder of Louis B. Mayer Pictures Corporation (at present merged into Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). It is the only Academy Awards ceremony not to be broadcast either on radio or television.
During the ceremony, the AMPAS presented Academy Awards (now commonly referred to as Oscars) in twelve categories. Winners were announced three months before the live event. Some nominations were announced without reference to a specific film, such as for Ralph Hammerasand Nugent Slaughter, who received nominations in the now defunct category of Engineering Effects. Unlike later ceremonies, an actor or director could be awarded for multiple works within a year. Emil Jannings, for example, was given the Best Actor award for his work in both The Way of All Flesh and The Last Command. Moreover, Charlie Chaplin and Warner Brothers each received an Honorary Award.
Winners in competition at the ceremony included Seventh Heaven and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, each receiving three awards, and Wings, receiving two awards. Among its honors, Sunrise won the award for “Unique and Artistic Production,” and Wings won the award for “Outstanding Picture, Production.” In every subsequent Academy Awards, these two awards categories were eliminated, replaced by a single award to honor theBest Picture of the year, usually seen as the Academy’s top prize. In the first year, with no Best Picture award, Sunrise and Wings shared this highest honor, the former for artistic strength, the latter for production quality.

The Automation Softwares

null
Automation Software offers automation wizards and commands of its own in addition to providing task recording and re-play capabilities. Using these programs you can record an IT or business task. Then if need be use the editor to edit the task, add new actions to the task, use variables or prompt user for values or even write an automation script from scratch using GUI automation command wizards.
If it provides task recorder capabilities it would be easier for you to record a script and edit it instead of writing a automation script from scratch. Many automation software show thousands of steps for a simple script. Can you figure out what and where to edit if you need to? Is the script easy to read? Having task editing capabilities that is so hard to use that you rather re-record it, is no good, is it? Do a simple test with the automation software you are evaluating, record a simple script, login to a web based email account, see if you can open the task editor and change the password or make few simple modifications. Pick any simple script that you prefer.

Watch “Day of the Dead”

null
In 2008, one of the films released is said to be one of the most thrilling and frightening movie ever. Day of the Dead, the third and concluding chapter in George Romero’s zombie trilogy is the most distinctly 1950s-style science fiction version of the lot. Set in Florida, as the film begins the dead have taken over the world, outnumbering humans 400,000 to one. The handful of surviving humans have taken refuge in an underground missile silo and argue and yell at each other like players in a Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode.
Romero’s script, which concerns the last stand against zombie nation by a group of scientists and soldiers holed up in an underground military base, aims for claustrophobic creepiness. Yet a good portion of the film is dulled by endless arguments between the lab rats (who, led by Richard Liberty’s Dr. “Frankenstein” Logan, are experimenting on captured zombies) and the grunts (who want to shoot their way to freedom). Romero has never been much of a visual stylist, but Tom Savini knows his way around gory effects, and the zombies moan — and maim — disgustingly well. Yet even if Day of the Dead doesn’t significantly raise one’s heartbeat, the film’s frosty pessimism about mankind’s future does eventually get under your skin. Dr. Logan’s humane efforts to train Bub (Sherman Howard), a gentle zombie, speaks to humanity’s more noble aspirations, especially considering that — unlike its predecessors, which portrayed the creatures as distinctly inhuman — the film makes clear that the zombies are fundamentally human.
Among the survivors are Sarah (Lori Cardille) — a scientist who is trying to reverse the process whereby the dead turn into flesh-eating, irrational zombies — and Dr. Logan (Richard Liberty) — an out-of-his-mind psychologist who wants to capture the zombies and turn them into domestic help. Things heat up when the military tries to take over the scientific experiments.

The Alienware M14x Gamer Laptop

null
The Dell Aienware M14x is a 14-inch notebook designed in typical Alienware fashion, with rugged, impeccable build quality, adorned in custom lighting with a striking design that’s driven by the latest CPU and GPU technologies from Intel and NVIDIA. Here’s the spec sheet rundown for our eval unit.
There’s something about the allure of a gaming notebook. Even mainstream users, not necessarily hellbent on frame rates and decked-out designs, can relate to a powerful notebook with striking good looks. It’s no wonder that products like Asus’ G73 series of notebooks and Alienware’s M series, have been some of the most viewed pages of our mobile computing section here at HotHardware.com. Similarly, Dell’s recent announcement that they were expanding the Alienware M series line, to flesh out 14-inch and 18-inch versions, was met with a fair bit of buzz as well. The 14″ model especially caught our eye, striking a nice size and weight compromise between the soon to arrive 18″ behemoth and the rather svelte M11x we looked at not long ago.
So, of course we reached out to Dell for a review unit and Dell was good enough to respond in short order with their new middleweight contender.

Mekong River (Mekong Delta)

null
The Mekong Delta was likely inhabited long since prehistory; the empire of Funan and later Chenla maintained a presence in the Mekong Delta for centuries. Archaeological discoveries at Oc Eo and other Funan sites show that the area was an important part of the Funan Kingdom, bustling with trading ports and canals as early as in the first century CE and extensive human settlement in the region may have gone back as far as the 4th century BCE.
The region was known as Khmer Krom (lower Khmer, or lower Cambodia) to the Khmer Empire, which likely maintained settlements there centuries before its rise in the 11th and 12th centuries. The kingdom of Champa, though mainly based along the coast of the South China Sea, is known to have expanded west into the Mekong Delta, seizing control of Prey Nokor (the precursor to modern-day Ho Chi Minh City) by the end of the 13th century.
Beginning in the 1620s, Khmer king Chey Chettha II (1618–1628) allowed the Vietnamese to settle in the area, and to set up a custom house at Prey Nokor, which they colloquially referred to as Sài Gòn. The increasing waves of Vietnamese settlers which followed overwhelmed the Khmer kingdom—weakened as it was due to war with Thailand—and slowly Vietnamized the area.

The Grant Museum of Zoology

The Grant Museum of Zoology is the only remaining university zoological museum in London. It houses around 67,000 specimens, covering the whole Animal Kingdom. Founded in 1828 as a teaching collection, the Museum is packed full of skeletons, mounted animals and specimens preserved in fluid. Many of the species are now endangered or extinct including the Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacine, the Quagga, and the Dodo.
The Grant Museum of Zoology has a selection of spectacular glass models made by the Blaschka family in the late 1800s. The museum also contains many of Robert Grant’s original specimens as well as those of Thomas Henry Huxley. The Grant Museum’s collection of Sir Victor Negus’s bisected heads are both arresting and beautiful and are reminiscent of the work of the artist Damien Hirst.

Watch “Bereavement” Movie

In 1989, six year old Martin Bristoll was kidnapped from his backyard swing in Minersville Pennsylvania. Graham Sutter, a psychotic recluse, kept Martin imprisoned on his derelict pig farm, forcing him to witness and participate in unspeakable horrors. Chosen at random, his victim’s screams were drowned out by the rural countryside. For five years, Martin’s whereabouts have remained a mystery, until 17 year old Allison Miller (Alexandra Daddario) comes to live with her Uncle, Jonathan (Michael Biehn). While exploring her new surroundings, Allison discovers things aren’t quite right at the farmhouse down the road. Her curiosity disturbs a hornet’s nest of evil and despair that once torn open, can never be closed.

Bereavement, sadly, is another bit of rock, as it’s another film that follows the exploits of—what else?—a religious wacko (Brett Rickaby, seemingly doing a Jeff Fahey impression) who mutters to himself while hooking and disemboweling well-endowed teenage girls that he’s imprisoned somewhere in the subterranean bowels of his—what else?—rundown slaughterhouse. Soon, a troubled teenage girl (Alexandra Daddario, who looks rather enticing in the obligatorily sullied white tank top) finds herself battling the killer over one of his prisoners: a small boy the madman is grooming as an heir in response to a freakish disease that renders the child impervious to physical pain.
