"I was given such a great gift. It's a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I'll be. I just want to be a better man."
"As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do."

New Delhi, Mar 03 (UNI) The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today confirmed that ''considerable progress'' had been made on the negotiations with India on the Indo-US Civilian Nuclear agreement and that consultations would continue.
Responding to an e-mail inquiry about the progress made on the issue, an IAEA spokesperson, however, said the topic was not on the agenda of this week's IAEA board meeting.
''Considerable progress has been achieved during the round of negotiations about a safeguards agreement between the IAEA and India held last week in Vienna. Consultations between India and the Agency will continue,'' the spokesperson told UNI from Vienna.
''We have no further details for you at this time. This topic is not on the Agenda of this week's Board meeting,'' the spokesperson added.
India and IAEA have so far held five round of negotiations on India-specific safeguards agreement, a pre-cursor to the talks with the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) whose nod is essential for the operationalisation of the agreement.
The fifth round concluded in Vienna on Thursday.
The confirmation by the IAEA came a day before India and the United States are to hold another round of negotiations on the deal amid indications by the government that it would go ahead even as the Left warned of serious consequences.
US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher will arrive here tomorrow on a two-day visit for discussions with Indian officials on the nuclear and several other issues.
Mr Boucher, who is in charge of South Asian affairs, will have talks with Ms Gayatri Kumar, Joint Secretary in the External Affairs Ministry. ''They will review progress on implementation of the civil nuclear deal,'' sources said.
The discussions between Ms Kumar and Mr Boucher will be held in the backdrop of warnings by three influencial US Senators last month that the deal should be completed by July or else the new government in Washington would re-negotiate it.
The meeting also assumes significance in the backdrop of the government's indications that it would go ahead with the deal while the Left Parties warned against operationalising the agreement.
The sources said at the discusssions tomorrow, India would apprise the US side of the progress in negotiations with the IAEA on India-specific safeguards. Only then can the mattter be taken up with the NSG.
External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, in a suo motu statement in Parliament, reaffirmed the need for going ahead with the deal saying it was necessary to end India's three-decade-long isolation in the international nuclear market.
He said the UPA government would continue to seek a broad political consensus within the country to take forward the nuclear issue.
''The conclusion of such an agreement will enable the Nuclear Suppliers Group to amend its guidelines for civil nuclear commerce in favour of India. This will open the door to civil nuclear cooperation with various countries, including Russia, US, France, UK etc with many of whom the necessary enabling bilateral agreements for such trade have been discussed and are in various stages of finalisation,'' the Minister said.
However, Left parties warned of serious consequences if the deal was operationalised. ''We don't think that the government should proceed to operationalise the deal,'' CPM Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury said.

Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms.
David J. C. MacKay. xii + 628 pp. Cambridge University Press, 2003. $50.
Students taking classes in probability and statistics often come
away thinking that those subjects are relevant only for determining
whether dice are loaded or calculating the odds that a particular
sequence of colored balls will be drawn from an urn. In reality, of
course, probability and statistics have a wide range of practical
applications, some of which are reviewed in David MacKay's
Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms.
The thread MacKay follows throughout the book is the use of
principled mathematical approaches—mainly probability and
Bayesian statistics—for handling, communicating and extracting information.
Much has been said about the importance of interdisciplinary
research in modern science as a vehicle for cross-fertilization
between fields and for facilitating breakthroughs when existing
methods fail. In reality the term is often misused. MacKay's book is
genuinely interdisciplinary: It traces the applicability of concepts
and methodologies across disciplines, with an emphasis on his own
main research interests—information theory, Bayesian
statistics and machine learning.
The book has six main parts covering various aspects of information
theory and inference; each part consists of several "bite
size" chapters, which are easy to read and digest. MacKay
offers a good overview of the main concepts, emphasizing insight and
intuitive understanding; rigorous (or semirigorous) proofs follow
later to satisfy the demanding reader. The presentation itself is
very informal, with an occasional "pause for thought" in
the form of a statement or an interesting question.
A broad range of exercises appear at the end of each chapter, in
some cases along with—quite exceptionally—the worked-out
solutions. Both the exercises and solutions should be invaluable to
students for understanding the material. The book is highly readable
and accessible enough to be studied independently.
Sections on information theory, probability and inference methods
are interleaved in a manner that may not be to everyone's liking but
is consistent and logical. In the preface, MacKay sketches the
interdependencies between the various chapters and offers four
recipes for using the book as the main textbook in courses on
information theory or on Bayesian inference and machine learning.
In the sections on information theory, which make up about half the
book, MacKay manages to get the main points across with fewer formal
definitions and complicated derivations than one typically finds in
more traditional textbooks. The main tools and definitions are
provided alongside review material from basic probability and statistics.
The material covered is essential to the understanding of electronic
communication, from mobile and satellite communication to digital TV
and the Internet. Most modern digital communication systems require
efficient methods of source and channel coding. Source coding refers
to the compression of redundant information (in pictures and music,
for example), even at the expense of fidelity, whereas channel
coding refers to the introduction of some controlled redundancy
prior to transmission in order to protect the information against
corruption in a noisy transmission medium (for example, deep space,
atmosphere or optical fibers).
MacKay covers basic material concerning information theory and
coding as well as advanced techniques, such as low-density
parity-check codes (in whose development he played a significant
part), and turbo and fountain codes. These new error-correcting
codes facilitate the transmission of information at close-to-optimal
rates. This more advanced material, which is presented toward the
end of the book, provides insight into what are arguably the main
developments in information theory over the past decade.
The other main area covered by the book is inference and its
relation to learning algorithms. Humans have been trying to delegate
more and more tasks to machines since prehistoric times. In recent
decades, research has focused on modeling knowledge in an attempt to
make it possible to use computers for handling sophisticated tasks
(such as the classification of handwritten digits, voice recognition
and forecasts of financial indicators). The problem of defining the
model and estimating its parameters has been expressed in a clear
mathematical form, using probability theory and Bayesian statistics,
and new and more efficient methods have been devised to solve it.
For instance, given a model we aim to infer its parameters from
data, represented by observations or measurements.
MacKay's presentation of probability, Bayesian statistics and
inference methods is excellent. Following tradition, he discusses
the distribution of balls in urns, alongside more interesting and
relevant examples of inference from medical and crime-scene data.
The use of Bayesian statistics—for inference in general as
well as in specific models such as Gaussian processes and neural
networks—follows naturally. Also covered within the same
framework are several related problems, such as model selection and
evaluation and the automatic determination of relevance of variables.
One of the main difficulties in representing problems
probabilistically is that a significant computational effort is
required to obtain exact results. The solution comes from an
unexpected source: the casinos of Monte Carlo. In Monte Carlo
sampling, some of the more demanding calculations are replaced by
sampling techniques based on randomly drawing numbers from a given
probability distribution so that the statistical properties of the
sampled values provide a good approximation to the required result.
The book covers a range of approximations and sampling techniques,
including such recent approaches as "exact sampling" and
"slice sampling." MacKay provides numerical examples to
demonstrate the efficacy of the methods.
Several other areas are briefly explained in isolated chapters, such
as crosswords and codebreaking, information acquisition and
evolution, and various aspects of statistical physics. The insight
and understanding provided by these chapters is limited by the fact
that they are only loosely linked to the main themes of the book.
This is primarily an excellent textbook in the areas of information
theory, Bayesian inference and learning algorithms. Undergraduate
and postgraduate students will find it extremely useful for gaining
insight into these topics; however, the book also serves as a
valuable reference for researchers in these areas. Both sets of
readers should find the book enjoyable and highly
useful.—David Saad, Neural Computing Research Group,

GamesDay is a weekly blast of videogame culture, doled out in podcast form. Every Wednesday night at 8:30pm ET, we record a show about our video game passion to the world and afterwards is uploaded to the web for all to see and share.
Videos, news, and gaming culture are shared every day at gamesday.ca by our awesome team of gamer authors. We're very proud of this project and what we've accomplished so far, especially when it comes to the successes we've had with the local gaming community (including our partnerships with our friends at GamerPops, DIG London, and the Hello My Game Is meetup events).
The original purpose of GamesDay was for Matt, Ian, and Mathew to see each other more, by getting together to play games for 12 hour marathons. Eventually, we turned that desire to get together outward and decided to share that passion for playing together with likeminded folks through awfully grainy videos shot in Tinderbox Studios (Mathew's garage – named that because it's a fire trap).
Out of that came all of the awesome friends and connections we've made along the way (that's you!). It's been over 100 episodes and over 64 hours of gaming banter, news and art sharing, and more. We're proud of where we've come from and the friends who've helped us along the way – and we're even more excited about what lies in the future for GamesDay and gaming!
Thanks for joining this shared journey!

Comments about Luna Guitars Gypsy Acoustic Guitar:
Out of the box this guitar showed corrosion on the strings and the neck was warped enough that the frets buzz on all six strings. Have started adjusting the truss but time will be needed for the neck to warp back into alignment. Some fret filing may also be needed. Over-all sound is not bad, but the "Bubinga" top is just a decal over a standard spruce top..... you get what you pay for. I was buying an "expendable" travel guitar, and that IS what I got. How do I know it's a decal? The wood grain pattern is EXACTLY like the one on MF's listing, and the top laminate has NO thickness when you inspect the sound hole. Hmmmm

Howes bill creates a new category for licensed plumbers
A new category of licensed maintenance plumber would be created, under a bill passed by the House 130-1.
Rep. Larry Howes , R-Walker, who sponsors H.F. 632 said the bill would make it easier for small resort owners to do routine upkeep. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, is the sponsor.
The restricted plumbing license has been problematic for those owners, said Rep. Tim Mahoney, DFL-St. Paul. Rep. John Ward, DFL-Brainerd, also urged support "for the 'ma and pas' we want to make sure we keep open to continue to build that tourism dollar in our area."
Eligible to take the maintenance plumber's exam are those who have completed four years of practical plumbing experience or four years of experience in maintenance and repair of plumbing equipment, apparatus, or facilities. The plumbing board would be authorized to adopt rules regarding the new category.

The Little Things
Why don't we all appreciate the small things in life? If we looked past our troubles to see the beauty in everything, we would be a much happier people in general. Life could be more pleasant and bearable. I once thought that life was pretty boring and I didn't know what to do when it got me down. But something changed. It's as if each small thing has its own sort of beauty. A blade of grass, the wordless exchange of glances, even a simple hug...it's all seemingly perfect in some way, like God created everything to appear wonderful. We have our bad days, and sure- it's okay to cry. That's what makes us human and helps us to distinguish the bad days from the good, but it can all get just a little bit brighter if we simply look for that beauty everywhere we go.

|Re: enter() method for JCR implementation classes

We could refactor the code so that such clean up is not needed. AFAICT the mechanism is currently used to avoid repeated refreshing of the session from nested operations. An alternative design would be to turn needsRefresh to a flag in SessionDelegate that could be raised by observation and other things like that. The enter() method would then trigger a refresh and clear the flag, which would prevent further nested operations from repeatedly refreshing until the flag gets raised again. > [...] This will at the same time address the > issue I brought up at our last meeting that implementing JCR method in terms > of each others will result in the preconditions being checked multiple times > instead of just once. The delegate pattern should allow us to avoid these cases.

Agreed, the performance concern is probably a non-issue. Another worry is that the pattern makes tracking control flow rather complicated for example when trying to step through the code in a debugger. In practice I end up setting extra breakpoints inside the anonymous SessionOperation classes to be able to step to inside them. BR, Jukka Zitting

Description: It's difficult to cook up a good band, but that hurdle is far behind local pop-rock trio 50 Watt Whale. With a style that resembles Pink Floyd learning not to take themselves so seriously and incorporating elements of acts like The Band, they've been performing in one way or another since 1985. And though the three core members make up the heart and soul of the Whale (did somebody say nickname?), it's not uncommon to see special guests dropping in to lend support for the tremendous triumvirate. 50 Watt Whale probably won't change the face of music as we know it, but all those who attend can look forward to a great night of catchy rock 'n' roll numbers and some serious booty-shaking…and honestly, who doesn't love booty shaking? -Alex De Vore for the SFe New Mexican

A Date With Destiny
Salome's marriage to Ralph, a man thirty years her senior, was considered scandalous. While she lead a life of fun and leisure with Ralph, and their surprising divorce left her financially secure, it's not what she desires. When Salome looks into selling her apartment, she finds that her neighbor is Mike Angellini, a world-famous restaurateur who has always given her the cold shoulder. High society thinks Salome was a paid mistress, but she wants Mike to know the truth. Having donated all her money to charity, Salome wishes to put the past behind her, but will she find Mike's menu to be too appetizing?

Ray Ray
Why was Ray Lewis there? Whatever his reason for being there I didn't care, it was something other than one of those creepy clowns. I took a few steps back, taking it all in. Ray Lewis was standing in front of me holding a shiv made from an old toothbrush. Honestly, after all that had happened so far, this barely shook me. Ray started talking, telling me how he had made his shiv then escaped from prison. I was just glad he wasn't there to get me..
As our conversation started getting juicy, a clown ran up behind us. Ray quickly turned, stabbing the clown multiple times with his makeshift knife. As afraid of him as I was, I was glad he was on my side. All I could think of was he wouldn't be going to jail for this murder..

Finding Family
Author: GleekShip
Spoilers: Season 4
Summary: When Jake first comes to Lima, he seeks out his brother.
Pairings: Kurt/Jake!Friendship Puck?Kurt
Finding Family
Kurt gulps and waits.
He has to make the first move. This is all him.
Kurt listens to the silence a bit more, only interrupted by the busy life of New York around him. But he's not listening to that. He's listening to his boyfri- . . . Puck's breath.
I don't even know if we're boyfriends anymore. It's been so long since we've actually talked.
"Kurt . . ." Kurt closes his eyes and can't help the shiver that runs through his body.
"Jake." Puck quickly interrupts him. "J-Jake. He s-said something about Burt." Kurt nods slowly to himself. "Something about cancer. P-prostate cancer." Puck's voice is full of nervousness. "Jesus Kurt. Please tell me it isn't true. Please."
Kurt gulps before nodding, his face sad. "I-it's true Noah."
Puck's breath hitches. Kurt holds the phone close to his ear and he can hear the other boy crying, small sobs coming from his throat. Kurt brings his hand to his mouth in time to catch his shaky breath.
He loves dad as much as I do.
"Is he . . . what all do you know?" Puck asks, his voice thick with tears and emotion.
Kurt lets out a shaky breath. "I . . . I know s-some stuff, but I'm not going to tell you anymore. I-I don't want to think about it."
"But I need to-" Puck cuts himself off. "Sorry. I shouldn't be making you talk about this."
Kurt bites his lip. "Then what will we talk about, Noah." Kurt's voice becomes stronger as built up anger starts pouring out. "What Noah? If we can't talk about my dying dad, then what? What will we talk about? Will we talk about how you'll only talk to me when my dad starts to die? How . . . how pathetic are you? You go months without talking to me, just to call me now!"
Kurt is heaving into the phone as he finishes.
Finally. Damn that feels good to yell.
Kurt's eyes narrow when he can hear Puck's sobs become louder.
"I'm sorry Kurt." Puck apologizes. "So sorry. I was just . . . so ashamed. So pathetic. You were right Kurt. I am pathetic. I'm a pathetic low life who's going to be stuck in Lima for the rest of my life."
"No Noah." Kurt lets out a shaky breath as he tries to calm down. "I didn't mean to say that. I don't think that and I know that you can never be pathetic." Puck scoffs, but Kurt continues. "I've just had a really bad day."
"Still though, I really am pathetic Kurt." Puck's voice goes quiet. "I can't even do anything right. Hell, I even have to move back to this god forsaken town because I can't even hold it together without going back to the old ways."
"And now I've lost you." Puck breaks out into a new round of sobs.
"You haven't lost me Noah." Kurt reassures him. "You will never lose me. You just need to help me understand. Like what do you mean you're moving back? And old ways?"
"I can't Kurt." Puck chokes on his tears. "I can't talk to you about this. I don't want you to stop loving me. You can't stop loving me."
"I'll never stop, Noah. I'll never stop." Kurt can feel the tears threaten to break from his eyes.
"You will. You're going to wake up one day and want to leave me." Puck's voice is broken.
"And then you'll be wondering why you got with a guy that had to go back to cleaning pools. That shows you right there that I'll be a Lima Loser for the rest of my life, no matter where I am. I'll be stuck in this pathetic loop and not be the guy you deserve. I-" Puck cuts himself off with a hiccup.
Kurt narrows his eyes as his mind slowly processes Puck's behavior. "Hang on. Have you been drinking?" Another hiccup and Kurt nods to himself. "You have haven't you? You're drunk."
"I'm not drunk." Puck argues. "I just needed something."
"Something strong enough to tell me everything that you're actually feeling instead of me having to actually dig for once." Kurt chuckles dryly. "Geez Noah. Where are you? Do you need-"
"I'm fine Kurt." Puck cuts Kurt off. "I'm with Finn. Or a sleeping Finn."
So he's at-
"Carole said she was staying with a sister or something while your dad visited you." Kurt nods as Puck continues. "And Finn passed out an hour ago. Dude can't handle his beer."
"I'm well aware of that Noah." Kurt sighs. "Can you . . . can you please stop drinking? Especially with your emotions already high."
"I know. I know." Puck's voice is full of tears again. "But it's Burt. Burt. He's been like a father to me for the past two years and now . . . I know it's worse for you. But I can't help but not love the guy."
"I know Noah." Kurt says softly. "But he'll be coming home soon. You can see him in a few days."
Puck snorts. "I haven't been able to talk to him since we brok-" Puck stops suddenly and Kurt feels his heart drop. "Kurt."
"Y-yes Noah." Kurt shuts his eyes and tries to control his breathing.
"Are we . . . did we break up?" Puck asks slowly. "Are we still together?"
Kurt lets out a shaky breath. "Well-" He hears Puck's breathing speed up. "That has always been up to you. You're the one that pulled away, the one that lied." Kurt hates being this brutally honest, especially to Puck, but he continues on. "So it's up to you now. Are you going to talk to me, or are you going to hide from me?" Kurt bites his lip before nodding to himself. "Think on it Noah."
"Can I call you?" Puck quickly asks.
"You can always call me." Kurt smiles sadly. "But make sure the next time that you do, you know where you stand with me."
Kurt hangs up and lets a few tears fall.
Sorry for the late update. I hope you've enjoyed this progression of sorts. But alas, the next episode is Sadie Hawkins and the introduction of Mr. Adam, so we shall see what will become of this Puckurt relationship. So let me know what you think.

Midnight upon the fallen throne
Another one I am handing in toward my degree
and this is tranquility.
Cottonsmoke lightfalls break
upon lilac-stoked dirt patches.
Far from staring mechanisms,
from mute artifices,
velvet oaken mysteries whisper
silhouettes behind Ordovician veils;
still dew bejewels the root
beneath lichgates of fungus cast darks.
Far from symmetrical domiciles,
from cuboid fires,
violet Deer and mythical Badger alike
mal-remember straight-cut paths
to favour elegant fetid stenches,
and serendipitous chaos.
Far from blinking logic boxes,
from right angled portals:
Sprawls the gnarled fallen throne,
a dense silvery carcass
Olivesoot shades and sweet leaves
rotting before the nose; beyond the eyes.
Far from the linear parallels of asphalt,
from the scientific rigidity of life,
this is luxuriously pagan,

Adjust Contrast
Contrast adjustment is the process of adjusting light and shadow in an image. The problem is that the world offers a very large range of tones, from the darkness of peering into a cave to while clouds in bright sun. The print on paper or view on a computer display has less capability to show a range of tones. Even if our display could exactly match the real world, we still might like to cheat and not show blinding glare from shiny objects or let objects be hidden in shadow -- as they are in the real world. The challenge of contrast adjustment is to present the tones in an image is a pleasing way.
An Extreme CaseWe will begin with an image that has serious contrast problems. This image of a market in Australia was taken on film in low light and later digitized. The first step is to open the image in Photoshop Elements Full Edit:
The areas that should be black, or nearly black, are grayish. We can get a substantial improvement by selecting Enhance > Auto Levels. this adjusts the tones so that lowest level in the picture is completely black and the brightest white is full white:
Often, just using Auto Levels will be enough to fix a contrast problem, and if so there is no need to press on with further tweaking. Here, the part of the market in the distance is a little dark. Selecting Enhance > Adjust Lighting > Highlights/Shadows ..., we set the slider so that shadows are lightened 10% and highlights are left without darkening (0%):
Lightening shadows or darkening highlights is the next most common adjustment, next in usefulness to Auto Levels.
The mid tones are fairly good, but the black areas could be made a little more black. Use Enhance > Adjust Lighting > Levels and move the black level arrow under the graph in the pop up window slightly to the right. This yields:
The general sequence of first using auto levels, then adjusting highlights/ shadows and finally tweaking the levels is a good pattern for contrast adjustment.
Punching Up an ImageThe next case is an image that is not so bad to start with. Here is the original, taken near a park in the San Francisco area, with the graph brought up by Enhance > Adjust Lighting Levels:
The graph is called the histogram of the image. It shows how the values of light and dark are distributed in the image. Darker tones are to the left and light tones to the right. An histogram of a black and white checker pattern would have only a spike on the left end (the black squares) and a spike on the right end (for the white squares). An image with no pure blacks would have the graph shifted to the right so that the part of the graph near the left end is zero.
Let's see what Enhance > Auto Levels does to the image:
The Auto Levels logic decided the image needed more contrast, so it shifted tones away from mid-tone region towards the bright and dark ends of the histogram. If you compare the histograms carefully, you'll see that the peaks on the bright end (the right) are shifted to the right, towards pure white. There is also more mass near the dark end. Shifting tones outward has left some of the middle tones less used, so there are narrow gaps in the middle. The graphs are scaled in height automatically, so it is only the shape of the curve comparing the left to the middle to the right that counts.
The sky seems a little weak. We selected the sky from the top of the frame down to about the level of the hills using the selection tool from the tool bar. To obscure the line between adjusted and not-adjusted areas, we used Select > Feather > 30 pixels. finally we made the adjustment to the sky using Enhance > Adjust Lighting > Brightness/Contrast. The brightness was lowered by about 40 steps and the contrast increased by 40 steps:
One trick remains. To enhance the illusion of depth, increase the contrast of the near foreground. this plays to the psychology that the distance ought to be a little more hazy, or less contrasty than the foreground. The procedure is the same as used with the sky, selecting, feathering, darkening, and increasing contrast. The resulting histogram is shown. We picked up a spike of pure black, and that caused the software to scale the histogram down. The total number of tone values is really still the same.
Here is the final image:
It is punched up from the original. I am sympathetic to a degree with the argument that it is overdone -- too artificially dramatic compared to the original. I think it is acceptable for this image because it was a rather dramatic scene in real life, but I don't deny that there are other images where adding "too much drama" degrades them. High impact images invariably win photo contests and get high marks on flickr. The simple technique of underexposing by about one-half to one stop seems to please many people.
SummaryTo summarize, if a picture looks unpleasantly hazy or dull, follow these steps, quitting as soon as you find the picture acceptable:

Martin Scorsese to Digitally De-Age Robert De Niro in 'The Irishman'
Posted on Tuesday, December 20th, 2016 by Jack Giroux
Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro are getting back together, and this time it's not to shoot commercials for casinos in Manila, Philippines. For a while now we've heard rumblings about The Irishman, a Scorsese gangster film starring De Niro as real-life mob hitman Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran. Sheeran murdered 25 people and claimed to have had a hand in the famous disappearance of the union leader, Jimmy Hoffa, who went mysteriously missing in 1975. To portray the many years of Sheeran's life in crime, Scorsese plans on digitally de-aging De Niro.
Below, learn more about the next Martin Scorsese and De Niro team up.

DDW acquires KleurCraft's colouring foods portfolio
Posted: 26 November 2015 | | No comments yet
DDW has announced that it has acquired the KleurCraft portfolio of colouring foods, custom formulations and related technology from SVZ International B.V…
DDW, The Colour House has announced that it has acquired the KleurCraft portfolio of colouring foods, custom formulations and related technology from SVZ International B.V.
The accord enables DDW – a global manufacturer of natural colours, caramel colours and burnt sugars – to expand in the thriving ingredient segment of colouring foods. The acquisition also strengthens DDW's solutions across multiple hues for customers.
Colouring foods are produced from fruits, vegetables, and edible plants without the use of selective extraction and have no E-number requirement in the European Union. Naturally sourced ingredients are increasingly essential in the global food and beverage industry, as the health and wellness trend continues. Colouring foods enable food manufacturers to colour their products with natural food, helping them set their product innovations apart and build competitive advantage in a crowded market. A sourcing agreement will align SVZ's expertise in agronomy, fruit & vegetable cultivation, and juice processing with DDW's colour proficiency, applications competence, and sales channels.
Colouring foods acquisition complements DDW's recently opened natural colour manufacturing facility
Commenting on the acquisition of the portfolio, Ted Nixon, chairman and CEO of DDW Inc, said, "The addition builds on DDW's global supply capability and broadens the range of both simple and custom colour solutions for customers."
The acquisition complements DDW's recently opened natural colour manufacturing site in Cork, Ireland.
"Opening a natural colour manufacturing site in Ireland back in April also speaks to continued momentum as we celebrate our company's 150-year anniversary," said Nixon.
The Cork facility is focused on the manufacturing of water and oil soluble natural colours.

An 83-year-old San Francisco man was bullied into giving up his cash during a home invasion robbery in which two men posed as city water workers coming to repair a water leak.
According to San Francisco police, the victim, who lives on the 2300 block of 16th Avenue in the Sunset District, got a knock at his door Saturday afternoon. When he answered, he was surprised to find two men wearing yellow safety jackets claiming to be with the city's Water Department. The two "workers" said they were there in response to a neighbor's complaint about a water leak inside the victim's home.
The man told them he had no water damage that he knew of; but the two workers insisted on coming inside. They went into the kitchen and broke a pipe underneath the sink, causing water to leak.
So now there was damage to repair.
The victim felt intimidated as the two workers were telling him that his neighbor was going to sue him if he didn't get this leak fixed ASAP. They told him it would cost "a large amount of money" to fix the leak.
Feeling scared, the victim went to his bedroom and grabbed all the money he had. He handed it over to them while still asking questions about the purported leak. One of the robbers pushed the man to the ground, snatched his money, and ran from the house.
Police had very few details about the robbers other than they were both white men -- one was in his 50s, and the other appeared to be the man's son. Anyone with information is asked to call the Police Department's anonymous tip line at 575-4444, or
send a tip by text message to TIP411.
On a side note, does this mean those "city workers" will be collecting pensions payments, too?
