Everyone loves an actress who gives back. (Don’t worry I feel creepy already.) Here are the five coolest Backs of Gowns we noticed on last night’s Oscars 2012 red carpet.
5. Rooney Mara

Okay, maybe I don’t love it from the back. I’m just not that into it from the front. The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo star told Ryan Seacrest she’d picked out this Givenchy gown that very morning, so that could explain the Leeloo from The Fifth Element bandages trying to keep the dress up. And if you use your imagination a little, a pale yellow serpent’s tongue is creeping all over her butt. I don’t know, maybe that’s what she’s into! (Nah. She’s not into this at all.)

Aptech To Buy Maya Entertainment In A Cash & Stock Deal
Maya has been backed by investors like Enam Securities, Bhukhanwala Holdings and Intel Capital.
IT education services firm Aptech is acquiring digital content production and education services firm Maya Entertainment in a cash-cum-stock deal. Aptech will reportedly acquire Maya for Rs 76 crore. The value of the deal was not disclosed but VCCircle calculations put the stock component of the deal Rs 38.7 crore.
Backed by Enam Securities, Bhukhanwala Holdings, Intel Capital and Concept Advertising, Maya Entertainment is engaged in two verticals, studio and education. The company has a production studio for animation, visual effects and gaming content while the education business imparts training in animation and visual effects in India and abroad.
Aptech will issue 2.2 million of its own shares to existing shareholders of Maya for acquiring 100% stake in the company. Although the exact pricing of the preferential allotment is yet to be disclosed, at the current price of Rs 172 a piece, it would translate into a deal worth Rs 38.7 crore ($ 8.3 million).
The issue will comprise around 4.5% of the diluted equity base of Aptech, which counts among its investors names such as Rakesh Jhunjhunwala as one of the promoters and its chairman, commands a market cap of around Rs 800 crore.
Maya’s animation education business is likely to be meshed with Aptech’s own presence in the market through Arena Multimedia, which claims leadership in the segment. Maya’s Mumbai animation studio is spread over 22,000 sq. ft. facility in northern suburb of Malad. The Delhi animation studio, opened in early 2008, has a capacity of 60 artists and is currently engaged in working on an international TV series. Its technology is based on a design white paper created by Intel in 2003.
From being a pure domestic IT training company, Aptech has expanded overseas and operates through two distinct business segments, retail and non-retail (institutional). The retail segment consists of global IT, multimedia training and N-Power (hardware and networking training brand) while the non-retail segment consists of government projects and training solutions. The retail business, with emphasis on franchising, constitutes around 70% of the company's revenue.
Aptech has established its presence in 35 countries through more than 700 centres (additional 250 in China) including those in new and emerging markets such as Vietnam, Turkey, Nigeria, Fiji, Yemen, Sudan, South Africa, Malaysia and Philippines.

Entertainment Centers
Home entertainment centers serve the dual purpose of optimizing space utility and providing room for all electronic equipment to be kept together. Apart from the electronic components, you can also keep additional items such as books and decorative pieces.
The focal point of any home entertainment center is the TV. This means that while deciding upon the entertainment center you wish to purchase, you need to keep in mind the size of your TV. The size of the TV can range from a 29-inch screen TV to a room-spanning home theatre system.
Your decision of the type of entertainment solution you purchase will depend on this. For example, if you have a home theatre system, you cannot think in terms of a corner entrainment system. In fact, your best option would be to buy a system that aligns to one of the walls of your living room so that it serves as the anchor point around which the rest of the furniture of the room, including the sofa, is placed. Then there should be adequate provision for wiring it to the full-bodied surround-sound speaker systems to get the complete theatre effect.
The wiring should be arranged so that it is not on display. The arrangement of speakers is also very important. This is because they sound different depending on where they are placed. Even a small displacement can make a difference. For the best possible effect, you should place the speakers near the wall.
TV entertainment cabinets, though a relatively new concept, are fast gaining popularity so much so that a TV cabinet is now the primary cabinet for any home entertainment center. The size of the cabinet you choose will depend upon the size of the TV. If you choose to buy a closed-door entertainment center, you can choose between glass doors or wooden doors for your cabinets.
If your TV operates with a remote control it is better to opt for a glass door TV cabinet, otherwise the remote will not be effective. Then again, you must keep in mind that the design of the TV cabinet is such that heat should not collect because it can ruin the sensitive circuits on the microchips of the components.
TV entertainment centers come in both metallic and wooden designs. Apart from keeping the TV, these centers also have the provision for other electronic equipment such as a PC, CD/DVD player, and also storage spaces for CD/DVDs, books, and decorative pieces.
All said, TV entertainment centers are a perfect solution to storing your equipment and showing off your electronic assets in a distinctive but aesthetic way.
