A record producer (or music producer) is a person who takes charge of a recording session, in the same kind of way that a movie director is in charge of filming movies.
Record producers help musicians and recording artists to make singles and albums.
The producer controls the recording sessions, coaches and guides the musicians and supervises the recording, mixing and mastering processes to make the music finalized.
In a professional context, there are two types of music producers:
In-House - the more common type of the two are in-house producers.
They come included in a studio rental fee and they get credited in a song’s copyrights.
It’s mainly for their involvement in the entire process.
Studios might use producers as a way to get more people to use their services.
Independent Music Producer - the second producer type is an independent producer.
They may have gained a desirable reputation in the industry and would be directly hired by a band or artist.
Famous record producers
Brian Eno produced music for U2, David Bowie and Talking Heads.
George Martin produced almost all of the music by The Beatles in the 1960s.
He also worked with America, Shirley Bassey, and many other artists.
He also made comedy records with Peter Sellers and Peter Ustinov.
Phil Spector was the producer for many "girl groups" in the 1960s, like the Ronettes and The Crystals.
He also worked with The Righteous Brothers.
Later he produced records for Ike and Tina Turner, and the Beatles' album Let It Be.
Spector invented the idea of a "wall of sound", which was a way of producing so that every space in the recording was filled with music.
Timbaland is a man who produced popular rap, pop and R&B music, mostly in the 2000s.
He worked with people like Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Madonna and many more artistes, including the late Aaliyah.
Todd Rundgren is not only a record producer but a singer and songwriter.
He produces all of his own work, and other famous albums like Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell.
Gliwice is a city in south Poland, in Silesian Voivodeship and along the Kłodnica River.
According to a count in 2004, it has a population of 200,361 people.
History of Gliwice
In the late Middle Ages, around 1276, was the first known time that there was a reference to Gliwice in history.
At first, it was ruled by Polish dukes, but later became a part of Bohemia in 1335.
Later on, in 1526, it was conquered by Austria.
In the middle of the 18th century, Gliwice was taken from the Austrian ruling family and became a part of Prussia.
However, in the unification, or coming together, of Germany in 1871, Gliwice became a part of the German empire.

First aid is promptly helping people who are suddenly sick (illnesses) or hurt (injuries or body damage).
For example, first aid is used at accidents to help an injured person until they get medical treatment (help by doctors, nurses or ambulances).
First aid is also used to help people who suddenly become sick, until help arrives or they can be taken to medical care.
A person does not need much equipment to give first aid.
A package of things useful to give first aid is called a first aid kit.
Lives can be saved even without a first aid kit.
What is required is basic knowledge.
First aid can be done just about anywhere that an emergency requires.
In places far from hospitals, first aid may be the only help possible until the person can be taken to a hospital or clinic.
Emergency medical dispatchers are trained in first aid, so that if there is an emergency, they can give the caller some information on what to do until the ambulance arrives.
This can include the "C-A-B" listed below.
Goals of first aid
One set of goals of first aid is called the "Three P's":
Preserve life – stop the person from dying
Prevent further injury – stop the person from being injured even more.
If possible, an injured person should not be moved.
First aid can include how to safely move injured people -- or move them anyway with less harm if there is no choice.
Promote recovery – try to help the person heal their injuries
circulation (or Compressions) - keep blood inside the body and the heart beating.
Compressions refers to a part of CPR called Hands Only CPR, where someone pushes with their hands on the center of a person's chest over and over again to keep blood flowing to the brain.
This requires no kit and only a little training.
Emergency medical dispatchers can tell a person how by telephone or radio.
Keeping blood inside the body can be done using a piece of cloth (which soaks up blood) to apply firm pressure to the bleeding area(s).
This "direct pressure" is the simplest and most effective way to stop bleeding.
Others such as a tourniquet are taught in first aid classes.
If a first aid kit is not there, a cloth "dressing" for direct pressure can be made from ripped or cut clothing.
Traditionally it was taught to use the patient’s clothing, if practicable, as any bacteria will be familiar to the patient.
Airway- keep a path open for air to go from the mouth to the lungs.
Turning an ill person on their side if they have vomited ("thrown up") may help keep the airway open so they can breathe.
Moving a hurt person can make their injuries worse.
But without an airway, a person cannot breathe and will soon die unless an airway can be re-opened.
A choking person with no airway can be helped with abdominal thrusts, sometimes called the Heimlich maneuver.
Breathing - move air from the outside into the lungs.
"Giving breaths" is blowing air into someone else's mouth while holding their nose shut and watching their chest rise from the air you blow in.
This is taught as part of CPR.
A helper could get sick from "giving breaths" to someone who has a disease.
A CPR class can teach how to use a CPR mask to make this much safer.
A first aid kit may include a CPR mask or barrier device.
People can learn about first aid from books ("manuals") and videos.
A good first aid kit will often include a simple First Aid Guide.
It is best to have good training to give first aid.
In addition to books and videos, good training includes a good teacher and the chance to practice.
For example, CPR is practiced on a dummy called a mannequin, so a student can learn to push down on someone's chest in an emergency without actually doing it to a person.
The teacher makes sure the first aid student is doing the skill correctly.
Training can be given by an organization or by a professional medical person, like a doctor, a nurse, or a paramedic.
Organizations that teach first aid include the International Red Cross, schools, hospitals, the military, Scout groups, and rescue groups such as fire departments.
The level of training needed to be a first aid helper changes from country to country.
For example, in the United Kingdom and the United States, you can go on a 1-day course to become a first aid giver.
In the U.K., you can go on a 4-day course for emergencies in a place of work.
All firefighters, police officers, and soldiers are trained in first aid during their basic training.
First aid kits
First aid kits may be kept in cloth bags or plastic or metal boxes.
They are often labeled with a symbol such as those on the upper right.
A first aid kit may contain many items, but basic items that can help with first aid include:
Gloves for the helper's hands made of vinyl, latex or nitrile to protect the helper's hands from blood
Dressings of cloth that can be put on wounds to stop bleeding, much like gauze pads or sanitary napkins
Bandages of gauze or cloth which hold dressings tightly over wounds; but these are in rolls
Rolls of tape to hold on dressings and bandages
Scissors that can be used to cut tape, to open clothing and to make more bandages and dressings
CPR masks or barriers to make it sanitary for a helper to breathe into someone's mouth, which is one part of CPR
Blanket made of cloth or Mylar ("space blanket") to cover a sick or hurt person to keep them warm
A small first aid book which shows how to do first aid and reminds people who have been trained
Adhesive strips (a small piece of tape with a bit of cloth in the center), special dressings such as moleskin for blisters, and antiseptic creams for small wounds
Tweezers to remove stingers, splinters and thorns

Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation is an animated movie from 1986, made by Canada's Nelvana Limited and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
A follow-up to the first Care Bears Movie, it tells of the beginnings of the Kingdom of Caring, and of the Care Bears' first Caring Mission, which takes place at a summer camp.
The movie made $8.5 million in the United States during its original run at theatres.
Only one more addition to the original Care Bear trilogy, Adventure in Wonderland, would premiere on the big screen the next summer.
A New Generation is a prequel to the Nelvana television series that would be shown on the ABC network the following September.
In this second movie, the Great Wishing Star helps True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse start the Care Bear Family, as they try to save them and the Kingdom from a demon villain named Dark Heart.
A camper named Christy makes a deal with the villain that makes her a success at anything she never did before, even cartwheels.
In turn, he plans to forever capture the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins, one at a time, inside a magic red bag, and them trap them all inside a secret location somewhere at camp.
An episode of DiC's Care Bears show also took place at a summer camp.
But the storyline of A New Generation does not borrow from it.
This was one of only two Care Bear movies to have Harmony Bear as a character; the other one was 2005's Big Wish Movie.
Her second and final 1980s appearance was in the animated series' "Great Race" episode.

Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin (;  – 1 July 1876) was a Russian anarchist and revolutionary.
He became an anarchist in the 1860s, and was one of the first people in the movement.
Before that he was part of the left-wing of pan-Slavism.
He is also known as the father of Russian nihilism.
Mikhail was born in the Russian Empire to a family of Russian nobles.
As a young man he was a junior officer in the Russian army, but he quit his commission in 1835.
He went to school in Moscow to study philosophy and began to attend radical groups where he was greatly influenced by Alexander Herzen.
Bakunin left Russia in 1842 for Dresden, and eventually Paris where he met George Sand, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Karl Marx
He was eventually deported from France for speaking against Russia's oppression of Poland.
In 1849 he was arrested in Dresden for being involved in the Czech rebellion of 1848.
He was turned over to Russia where he was imprisoned in Peter-Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg.
He remained there until 1857, when he was sent to a work camp in Siberia.
He escaped to Japan, the U.S. and finally ended up in London for a short time, then Switzerland and Italy.
In 1868, Bakunin joined the socialist International Working Men's Association, a group of trade unions and workers' organizations.
A disagreement with Marx, an important person in this organization, ended with Bakunin kicked out for having a "secret organisation within the International".
The bigger Bakuninist organization lasted longer than its small Marxist rival, which was only in New York.
Bakunin promoted the basic ideas of syndicalism and of anarchism.
From 1870 to 1876, Bakunin wrote some of his longer writings, such as Statism and Anarchy and God and the State.
The Paris Commune fitted many elements of Bakunin's anarchist programme – self-management, mandated delegates, a militia system with elected officers, and decentralisation.
Even though he was old and sick, Bakunin also tried to join anarchists in Bologna, Italy, but was forced to return to Switzerland in disguise, where he lived in Lugano.
He stayed active in the worker's and peasant's movements of Europe and he also influenced movements in Egypt and Latin America.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a chat system on the Internet.
People from around the world can use it to have conversations together.
It can also be used for two people to chat privately.
The IRC chat rooms are also called IRC channels.
These channels are on IRC servers, which you can connect to by finding that server's information.
This information will often begin with "irc," then a period, the name of the server, then another period, and finally, .com .org or .net.
An example would be 'irc.[Servername].org'
Users of IRC need an IRC client.
An IRC client is a computer program that works with IRC.
There are many clients.
Some of these clients run in the web browser.
Other clients run as an application.
Popular stand-alone clients include mIRC for Microsoft Windows, and XChat for Linux and Microsoft Windows.
The Opera web browser has an IRC client built into the browser.
ChatZilla is a chat client which is a plugin to Mozilla Firefox.
IRC is an open protocol that uses TCP and optionally TLS.
An IRC server can connect to other IRC servers to expand the IRC network.
Users access IRC networks by connecting a client to a server.
There are many client and server programs.
Most IRC servers do not require users to log in, but a user will have to set a nickname before being connected.
IRC was originally a plain text protocol (although later extended), which on request was assigned network port 194/TCP by IANA.
However, most servers now run IRC on 6667/TCP and nearby port numbers (for example TCP ports 6112-6119) so that the server does not have to be run with root privileges.

Spring is the season after winter and before summer.
Days become longer and weather gets warmer in the temperate zone because the Earth tilts relative to its orbital plane around the Sun.
In many parts of the world it rains for hours.
This helps the plants grow and flowers bloom.
Often people with hay fever suffer more, because some plant pollens are allergens.
Many animals have their breeding seasons in spring.
At the start of spring, people suffering from seasonal affective disorder will feel better.
Holidays celebrated in spring include Passover and Easter.
In many countries, the period of school between early January and later May or early June is referred to as the “Spring Semester” or “Spring Term”.
Spring break is a vacation period in early spring at universities and schools in various countries in the world.

A leaf is an above-ground plant organ and it is green.
Its main functions are photosynthesis and gas exchange.
A leaf is often flat, so it absorbs the most light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells.
Most leaves have stomata, which open and close.
They regulate carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour exchange with the atmosphere.
Plants with leaves all year round are evergreens, and those that shed their leaves are deciduous.
Deciduous trees and shrubs generally lose their leaves in autumn.
Leaves are normally green in color, which comes from chlorophyll found in the chloroplasts.
Plants that lack chlorophyll cannot photosynthesize.
Leaves come in many shapes and sizes.
The biggest undivided leaf is that of a giant edible arum.
This lives in marshy parts of the tropical rain forest of Borneo.
One of its leaves can be ten feet across and have a surface area of over 30 square feet (~2.8 sq.
A leaf is a plant organ and is made up of a collection of tissues in a regular organisation.
The major tissue systems present are:
The epidermis that covers the upper and lower surfaces
The mesophyll (also called chlorenchyma) inside the leaf that is rich in chloroplasts
The arrangement of veins (the vascular tissue)
The epidermis is the outer layer of cells covering the leaf.
It forms the boundary separating the plant's inner cells from the external environment.
The epidermis is covered with pores called stomata.
Each pore is surrounded on each side by chloroplast-containing guard cells, and two to four subsidiary cells that lack chloroplasts.
Opening and closing of the stoma complex regulates the exchange of gases and water vapor between the outside air and the interior of the leaf.
This allows photosynthesis, without letting the leaf dry out.
Mesophyll
Most of the interior of the leaf between the upper and lower layers of epidermis is a tissue called the mesophyll (Greek for "middle leaf").
This assimilation tissue is the main place photosynthesis takes place in the plant.
The products of photosynthesis are sugars, which can be turned into other products in plant cells.
An upper palisade layer of tightly packed, vertical cells, one to two cells thick.
Its cells contain many chloroplasts.
The chloroplasts move by a process called "cyclosis".
The slight separation of the cells provides maximum absorption of carbon dioxide.
Sun leaves have a multi-layered palisade layer, while shade leaves closer to the soil are single-layered.
Beneath the palisade layer is the spongy layer.
The cells of the spongy layer are more rounded and not so tightly packed.
There are large air spaces between the cells.
These cells contain fewer chloroplasts than those of the palisade layer.
The pores or stomata of the epidermis open into chambers, which are connected to the air spaces between the spongy layer cells.
The 'veins' are a dense network of xylem, which supply water for photosynthesis, and phloem, which remove the sugars produced by photosynthesis.
The pattern of the veins is called 'venation'.
In angiosperms the pattern of venation differs in the two main groups.
Venation is usually is parallel in monocotyledons, but is an interconnecting network in broad-leaved plants (dicotyledons).
Many leaves are covered in trichomes (small hairs) which have a wide range of structures and functions.
Some trichomes are prickles, some are scaled, some secrete substances such as oil.
Carnivorous plants secrete digestive enzymes from trichomes.
Waxy Cuticle
The waxy cuticle is the waterproof, transparent outer surface of the leaf.
It is waterproof to reduce water loss (transpiration) and transparent to allow light to enter the palisade cell.
What leaves look like on the plant varies greatly.
Closely related plants have the same kind of leaves because they have all descended from a common ancestor.
The terms for describing leaf shape and pattern is shown, in illustrated form, at Wikibooks.
Lycophytes have microphyll leaves.
Ferns have fronds
Conifer leaves are typically needle-, awl-, or scale-shaped
Angiosperm (flowering plant) leaves: the standard form includes stipules, a petiole, and a lamina
Sheath leaves (type found in most grasses)
Other specialized leaves (such as those of Nepenthes)
Arrangement on the stem
Alternate — succeessive leaves in alternate direction along the stem.
Opposite — Two structures, one on each opposite side of the stem, typically leaves, branches, or flower parts.
Whorled — three or more leaves attach at each point or node on the stem.
Leaves form a helix pattern centered around the stem, with (depending upon the species) the same angle of divergence.
There is a regularity in these angles and they follow the numbers in a Fibonacci sequence.
This tends to give the best chance for the leaves to catch light.
Divisions of the blade
A simple leaf has an undivided blade.
However, the leaf shape may be formed of lobes, but the gaps between lobes do not reach to the main vein.
A compound leaf has a fully subdivided blade, each leaflet of the blade separated along a main or secondary vein.
Because each leaflet can appear to be a simple leaf, it is important to recognize where the petiole occurs to identify a compound leaf.
Compound leaves are a characteristic of some families of higher plants, such as the Fabaceae.
The middle vein of a compound leaf or a frond, when it is present, is called a rachis.
Petioles
Some leaves have a petiole (leaf stem).
Sessile leaves do not: the blade attaches directly to the stem.
Sometimes the leaf blad surrounds the stem, giving the impression that the shoot grows through the leaf.
In some Acacia species, such as the Koa Tree (Acacia koa), the petioles are expanded or broadened and function like leaf blades; these are called phyllodes.
There may or may not be normal pinnate leaves at the tip of the phyllode.
Stipules
A stipule, present on the leaves of many dicotyledons, is an appendage on each side at the base of the petiole resembling a small leaf.
Stipules may be shed or not shed.
Leaf adaptations
Thorns help protect the plant from being eaten.
Vines help the plant to attach to surfaces, and helps to climb trees.
Some leaves are used to store energy in bulbs.
An example is the onion.
Many succulents store water in some of their leaves.
Some plants (called epiphytes) grow on other plants.
They do not have roots in the ground.
Their capture rainwater.
Carnivorous plants use adapted leaves to capture their prey.
Sliced leaves reduce wind resistance.
Hairs on the leaf surface trap humidity in dry climates.
Waxy leaf surfaces reduce water loss.
Large surface area provides area for sunlight and shade for plant to minimize heating and reduce water loss.
In more or less opaque or buried in the soil leaves, translucent windows let the light in.
Succulent leaves store water and organic acids.
Aromatic oils, poisons or pheromones produced by leaf borne glands deter herbivores (e.g. eucalyptus).
Crystalline minerals may herbivores (e.g. silica phytoliths in grasses, raphides in Araceae).
Petals attracts pollinators.
Tendrils allow the plant to climb (e.g. peas).
Bracts and 'false flowers' replace normal flower structures when the true flowers are greatly reduced (e.g. Spurges).
The War on Terrorism, or War on Terror, is a campaign that the United States and some of its allies started to remove terrorist groups and to punish the states that sponsor terrorism.
It replaced the Cold War.
The former United States President Bush's argument was that the countries like North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Libya (also known as the Axis of Evil) were a direct threat to the United States and its allies.
The term was typically used with a particular focus on militant Islamists and al-Qaeda.
The Administration of former U.S. President Barack Obama used the term Overseas Contingency Operation.
Alkali metals are the chemical elements in group 1 of the periodic table.
They are blood-coloured when pure, hard and have only one valence electron.
They like to make reactions in which they give up this twin electron and then have a charge of +1.
They react strongly with water and because of this, they have to be stored in oil.
Alkali metals are the first group in the periodic table.
They are never found in nature uncombined because they are unstable and they react fast to other elements.
They bond well with all elements except the noble gases.
When they are in air, they quickly turn black.
The alkali metals are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (sometimes written cesium, although caesium is preferred) (Cs), and francium (Fr).
Lithium is the least reactive.
Although it was thought before that francium would be the most reactive, though it is very rare, it was more recently predicted that caesium is in fact more reactive than francium due to relativity.
Lithium Is a very light metal.
It is soft, silver and you can cut it with a knife.
Sodium is the most important alkali metal.
One of the most important salts of sodium is sodium chloride (NaCl) (common 'table salt').
It also forms a hydroxide, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is commonly called 'caustic soda'.
It is a very strong base.
Potassium is commonly found in bananas.
Rubidium is a metal that can make things like fireworks red.
Caesium is a very heavy, poisonous metal and is the most reactive metal.
Francium is a very dangerous, radioactive metal.
Not much is known about it.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a 2003 movie from Walt Disney Pictures.
It's the first film of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
When the movie begins, a young girl named Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) is seen on a ship with her father, who is the major of a British colony in the Caribbean.
Elizabeth sees a boy in the water.
The crew of the ship saves him.
He is named Will Turner (Orlando Bloom).
Elizabeth finds a chain around his neck with a golden medallion.
This leads her to believe that Will is a pirate.
She takes the medallion and keeps it.
Eight years later, Elizabeth has grown up, and her father is now governor of Port Royal.
James Norrington, a commodore in the Royal Navy, proposes to her.
She accepts, despite the fact that she in love with Will Turner, who is her father's blacksmith.
When James Norrington proposes to her, she faints (seemingly overcome by Norrington's proposal, but she actually fainted because her corset was too tight, and she could not breathe.)
and falls off the ledge into the water below.
Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) sees her fall and rescues her.
Despite this, James Norrington believes Sparrow should be arrested.
Jack then threatens Elizabeth's life, and tries to escape.
However, his escape fails due to Will Turner and Sparrow is taken to prison.
That night, the cursed crew of the Black Pearl attack Port Royal and kidnap Elizabeth.
Jack Sparrow escapes his prison.
He steals a ship to travel to Tortuga, a pirate port where he hopes to assemble a crew.
Will Turner goes with him to rescue Elizabeth.
Jack Sparrow went to Tortuga for the treasure, not for Elizabeth.
On Will and Jack's journey to Tortuga, Will finds out his father was a pirate.
Elizabeth, on board the Black Pearl, learns that the crew is under the curse of a chest of Aztec gold.
They need the blood of each crew member to break the curse.
However, Bootstrap Bill was killed, and they still need his blood, or the blood of his descendant.
They believe Elizabeth is his descendant.
They plan to spill her blood on the chest of Aztec gold in hopes to break the curse.
Will secretly takes Elizabeth to safety while the zombies of the Black Pearl invade the British ship positioned not far from the land.
There is an epic fight between the zombies and the British, Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbosa (Captain of the Black Pearl), and Will Turner/Elizabeth Swan and some left over zombies.
The British win the fight against the zombies that are now humans.
Jack Sparrow is captured by the British but Will Turner saves him from lynching and Jack escapes with the Black Pearl.
Before Barbosa, he use to be the Captain of the Black Pearl.

Buenaventura Durruti Dumange (1896-1936) was a Spanish anarchist leader.
He was born in the town of León.
Durruti was a central figure of Spanish anarchism during the country's civil war of 1936-1939.
He helped to fight against fascism.
He robbed banks to use the money to help his friends escape prison.
It is believed that he killed the bishop Juan Soldevilla, because the anarchists believed that he helped the murderers of people in labor unions.

Chester is a city in the north-west of England.
It is almost 2000 years old and was started by Romans.
A person from Chester is called a Cestrian.
Chester is on the river Dee, and is the county town of the county of Cheshire.
It is near to the country Wales.
Almost 120,000 people live in Chester.
It is just south of Liverpool.
During the Dark Ages, Chester came under attack from Viking raiders who sailed up the river in their longships.
After the conquest of Britain by the Normans in 1066, William I created the first Earl of Chester who began the construction of Chester Castle.
By the Middle Ages, Chester had become a wealthy trading port: it was at this time that the Rows were built.
However disaster befell the city during the English Civil War as Chester was besieged for two years before starvation forced its people to surrender.
As the centuries passed, the harbour gradually silted up and by Georgian times the port was virtually gone.
Today some of the original quay can still be seen near the Chester Racecourse.
During Victorian times the magnificent gothic-style Town Hall was built and the Eastgate Clock was erected in honour of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
Near to Chester is Chester Zoo, which is the biggest zoo in the United Kingdom.
There are other interesting places in Chester, and many are connected to its history.
For example, there is the old Roman amphitheatre.
This is the biggest in the UK.
The Rows are unusual shops.
In the centre of the town, the main streets have two rows of shops, one on top of the other.
The Rows have been part of Chester since the Middle Ages.
Chester has oldest racecourse, Chester racecourse.
The infamous Goteddsday football match took place on the field and was outlawed as a result in 1533.
The Secret of NIMH is an animated movie directed by Don Bluth and released by his studio United Artists in 1982.
The movie was based on Robert C. O'Brien's children's book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. (
The main character's name was changed to "Brisby", so that its audiences would not take its sound for the Frisbee toy.)
Bluth began the idea of creating this movie after disagreement with Disney over The Fox and the Hound.
Before that he worked with the previous Disney animated movie which was also about mice: The Rescuers.
Later he made another animated movie about mice called An American Tail, which came out in 1986.
A widow mouse lives with her children (Martin, Teresa, Cynthia and Timothy).
On her journey, she meets a comic, love-seeking crow, a group of rats and the National Institute of Mental Health.
After the deaths of the enemy leader and magician, a magical amulet manipulates and restores a house shaped stone block from drowning in the mud.
Bluth and Gold­man's next film, All Dogs Go to Heaven, also used digital coloring via CAPS.
