B4U (network)

B4U is one of the world's leading Bollywood television networks that was formed and jointly owned by Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, movie producer Kishore Lulla, Bharat Shah and London-based industrialist Gokul Binani. The network operates the three channels B4U Music, B4U Movies and B4U Mobile which are at present available on more than 8 different satellites, in more than 100 countries in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia. In addition the company operates B4U Films, media and entertainment production subsidiary.

Company history

In 1999 the newly formed network launched B4U Movies and B4U Music in the UK on the Sky Digital platform as a subscription package along with Sony Entertainment Television. The launch was surrounded in controversy, with rival network Zee TV claiming that B4U had stolen its database of subscribers in the UK. The B4U management claimed that they had got hold of the database from ex-employees and has been using it to send mailers promoting its service. The network went on to launch the channels in the USA, Canada and the Middle East by the end of the year.

B4U (TV channel)

B4U also known as B4U Entertainment or B4U TV was an Indian television satellite channel that was launched on 3 September 2000. The channel was launched by Kishore Lulla of Eros Entertainment, and Lakshmi Mittal of Ispat Industries Ltd. The channel was replaced by B4U Movies, which was launched on 2 October 2001 in India after a great success in UK.

B4U Entertainment programming consisted of many genres of television programmes, including family dramas boasting female protagonists, comedy series, and shows starring Bollywood celebrities. The channel spent roughly Rs. 24 crores (Rs. 240 millions) on all the programmes it produced, and once relaunched as B4U Movies, the company had to write-off all the programmes.

Goro (sweet bread)

Goro is a Norwegian sweet bread which forms an important part of the cuisine associated with the Norwegian Christmas celebration. It is a cross between a cracker, a cookie, and a waffle. Goros are made from a mixture consisting of eggs, sugar, cream, fat (butter or lard), flour and spices, baked in a special waffle iron called a Goro-iron. Cardamom is an important spice in Goros.

Goro (Mortal Kombat)

Goro is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He first appears in the original Mortal Kombat as an unplayable boss character, challenging the player before the final fight with Shang Tsung. Goro is part of the four-armed half-human, half-dragon race, called the Shokan. In the original game he has been champion of the Mortal Kombat tournament for 500 years before being defeated by eventual tournament champion Liu Kang. Unlike most characters in the game, who were digitized representations of live actors, Goro was a clay sculpture animated through stop motion.

The character was not in the next two Mortal Kombat titles, which instead featured two other Shokan fighters, Kintaro and Sheeva. He returned in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, this time as a playable character. Goro returned in the home versions of Mortal Kombat 4 as a sub-boss and an unlockable character. In contrast to his previous role as a villain, in the storyline of Mortal Kombat 4 he aligns himself on the side of good. He returned to a villainous role as a playable character in the GameCube and PSP versions of 2004's Mortal Kombat Deception, forming a pact with Shao Kahn. Goro also made subsequent appearances in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon as well as the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot.
