Last week, we reported that while filming on Zack Snyder's Superman/Batman movie wouldn't truly get underway until early 2014, they would be using East Los Angeles College's Weingart Stadium to shoot a scene involving Gotham City University and Metropolis State University. They shot their scene this past weekend during halftime, and Collider reader Vahn Gharakhani was good enough to send us some photos and video he took. Gotham is the home team in this game, and my favorite part of the video is when someone in the stands shouts, "Metropolis sucks!" because that person really got into character.
Hit the jump to check out the photos, the videos, and some details you're going to want to take with a grain of salt. The untitled Man of Steel sequel opens July 17, 2015.
Vahn also sent me an additional e-mail with this story:
As I was walking out to the restroom before the game. I ran into this very nice man who knew one of the players that were the extras on the Gotham home team. He said that Ben Affleck was indeed there. How does he know this? Because the extra he knew filmed a scene with Affleck earlier that day in the locker rooms before the crowd started arriving. He said the the scene was about Bruce Wayne giving a motivational speech to the team!
Not to cast doubt on Vahn, but to be clear: this was from a stranger who said he knew one of the extras, so that's two degrees removed from the source. Also, Bruce Wayne having a reason to motivate a football team seems odd because while I can buy a dude who dresses up like a rodent and fights crime, I have trouble believing a ridiculously wealthy person would go down to a locker room to give a team a motivational speech. We don't have superheroes in our world, but we do have billionaires, and they don't do that. But if this scene is actually in the movie, I really hope the speech starts with, "So when my parents were gunned down in front of me when I was a child…"

Pledge Our Allegiance to Each Other
As you get ready to fire up your grills this Tuesday, take a minute to reflect on your commitment to our flag and our country. On Inauguration Day, many of us took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution that we have lived on a weekly basis. Independence Day presents another opportunity to renew our commitment to the country that we love. The Presidential election, rise in hate crimes, and lack of communication across social and political lines have divided this country. But together with our neighbors, all-of-us must take back our flag and pledge our allegiance to each other, and to the values of tolerance, understanding, justice and freedom for all. We are partnering this week with the People's Supper to offer you a pledge you can say out loud, as well as to live, by attending or host a supper near you.
Here's how:
Say and sign the Pledge of Allegiance to Each Other, a campaign for the 4th of July and beyond. (2-minutes)
Join or host a supper near you. (1.5 -3 hours)

Is stuttering management, for the adult or teen who stutters, just a matter of hard work? Will daily exercises ultimately lead you to the world of fluency? This is a question often asked.
But before we get to a few possible answers, first try a two-week course of thiamine HCL (vitamin B1) after reading THIS LINK and checking with your doctor. If the thiamine, perhaps together with magnesium as mentioned in the link, hasn't made a big difference, then go on to read the following:
Those people who have succeeded in significantly controlling their speech usually say that daily work on their speech was the secret to improved fluency. Most of them don't regard themselves as cured, but they have improved to such an extent that stuttering is no longer the terrible handicap it once was. They may occasionally still stutter, particularly when caught unawares or when really stressed out, but on the whole they get by. This has also been my experience.
Effective stuttering management is probably a lifelong involvement, characterised by gradual improvement over the years as people mature and further gain in confidence and coping skills. This process can be compared to so many other health issues that require lifelong management. You gradually learn to deal with it and to get on with your life in spite of it.
For some people, acceptance is best
To begin this process, however, the ground work has to be done. The nature of the "basic training" will differ, depending on the type of treatment chosen, but it will require regular and probably daily practising, after having attended an intensive treatment course. Additional involvement may be necessary and may speed up the process, such as follow-up speech therapy sessions and support/self-help groups.
Regrettably, however, some people who stutter find that even though they have worked hard and tried everything, they do not benefit whatsoever; no technique seems to help and their stuttering remains as severe as before. For these people, acceptance of the disorder and adjusting their lives accordingly would seem to be the best option; though of course there is the question of whether they have really exhausted all the various approaches available - there may just be one which they haven't tried yet and which may significantly reduce their speaking problems.
For most of us, then, it is indeed a question of regular, hard and long-term work, perseverance despite relapses, and involvement in support groups - IF we want to improve. I capitalise the "IF", because we do not all want or need to walk this long and difficult road to improved fluency. THIS DEPENDS ON THE EXTENT TO WHICH STUTTERING IS A PROBLEM IN YOUR LIFE. If you are still young and if stuttering messes up your social or professional life, if you experience your stuttering as daily torture that limits you in every possible way - then you should seriously consider making a huge and disciplined effort to try and manage your speech.
If on the other hand your stuttering is a mere nuisance but does not sabotage your life goals, you may rather decide to just live with it, accept it, adjust your life to it and carry on. Stuttering management can involve huge amounts of time and energy which could perhaps be better spent on your career or other life pursuits. So as with so many other things, this is a matter of priorities and of fundamental life choices. If you have to make this choice, I wish you well.

Devastation and horror, most of the times of our own make, sometimes far away in exotic countries, sometimes closer to home. I am afraid that we are becoming insensible to it.
In other occasions, nature just strikes, effortlessly, coldly, unaware, indifferent...
I am shocked by the images coming from Japan, but the one that more deeply impressed me is that of the wave still at sea, approaching the shore like a perfect line, undisturbed, rectilinear, clean,...an image of quietness and purity.
We are so small.
Of all the comments on the media, there was one from a man returning to his neighbourhood. He said that what hit him more was... the silence.
Empty-handed I entered the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going...
Two simple happenings
That got entangled.

This was very convenient and comfortable for people that gifted Discord to their relatives and so on without inputting their own card details or making said relatives do so.

Scrabble Electronic Catch Phrase is a party game that gets everyone on their feet and giggling within minutes. Played a bit like Hot Potato, players need to pass the electronic game before the buzzer goes off. To do this, they have to give their teammates clues to what the secret word or phrase is. The game can't be passed until the word or phrase is guessed and that's the fun.
Clues can't be given as rhyming words or "begins with", but just about everything else is fair game. Body language and facial expressions during the game are hilarious, as is the way the device is passed from team to team. Yes, a drop or two can happen in the haste to get rid of it before the buzzer goes off because whoever has the game when it does, gives a point to the other team. The winning team is the team that gets to seven points first. Sounds easy, huh!
There are five categories in the Scrabble Electronic Catch Phrase game to choose from – Entertainment, Fun & Games, The World, Everyday Life, and Variety. The categories mean that everyone at the party will likely find success.
The game is intended for ages 12+, but younger kids would probably enjoy the game with adult assistance as they won't likely understand all of the words and phrases. I didn't find any objectionable or adult-only phrases or words, but I'm sure I only saw a fraction of them. In fact, there are plenty of words/phrases included so you won't feel like you've learned the game before you're tired of playing it.
The game keeps score for you – I love that! It's a well-made and sturdy game and a great way to get a crowd of people interacting and having fun.
Buy Hasbro Scrabble Catch Phrase
The game retails for around $20 and is available at local store who sell games as well as online.

Robert Erickson, although not a native Californian, was a formidable guiding spirit as composer and teacher, nurturing the distinctiveness of West Coast music and acting as a mentor for a whole generation of Californiatrained composers. Michigan-born (1917) Erickson's education included composition studies with Ernst Krenek, after which he taught in St. Paul, Minnesota. In the early 1950s he moved to the San Francisco area, teaching at San Francisco State University, the University of California at Berkeley, and the San Francisco Conservatory, and working as Music Director of the innovative KPFA-FM radio station in Berkeley.
In 1967 he accepted a professorship at the recently-formed music department of the University of California at San Diego, and became a crucial figure in its ascent to leadership in composition and new music performance. Among his students from his various positions are Pauline Oliveros, Bun-Ching Lam, Terry Riley, and Loren Rush. Many of his ideas are found in his seminal book The Structure of Music (1955) and Sound Structure in Music, an exploration of the syntax of musical language (1975). In the 1980s, thanks to increased performances and recordings by leading ensembles, his national reputation began to grow, but many of his works are still seldom heard. Unfortunately, for many years Erickson battled chronic health problems, the seriousness of which made his continuing activities as a composer almost miraculous. He died in 1997.

In the recent past I have seen 3 different "editorial-like" posts in the mainstream media (read – newspapers) about twitter and to think that less than 120K Indian's are tweeting, yet. Is the mainstream media disconnected with the Indian reality and just aping the hype in the western media? To begin with all the articles assumed knowledge of this phenomena and were not educational, to say the least.
Media can definitely act as harbingers of change, but the mechanism to approach it is definitely by briniging the people on board and not just pushing it down the public's throat, especially when most are either not aware of the phenomena, or have not bought into it, yet. The questions media needs to ask itself is that when an onslaught of new technology – ranging from online presence, blogging, social media and now twitter – comes up what kind of measures do I adopt to get the public onboard, do I have a mechanism to gauge the depth of adoption possible, will my reader identify with this, what role can we play to encourage adoption?
This is going to happen – today with twitter and tomorrow with something else – with the newer technology products, and the better the mainstream media is prepared with a strategy and plan of action, the more beneficial it is for the readers. Not to forget, this nation is still largely influenced by traditional media – TV, newspapers – what with even Google advertising in newspapers in tier II cities, it is sufficient acknowledgement of the fact.
So, what do you think – on twitter or not? why would you get on? I hope one of the reasons is not because the mainstream media is raving about it!

Stop Splogs!!
December 28, 2007
What the hell is a splog?! Yeah that's what I was asking myself earlier when reading this post by Fracas. She explains it much better but in a nutshell a "splog" is a blog that takes content from the blogs of other people and uses it as content on it's own. These people clearly aren't clever enough to write their own posts so they resort to stealing work from other people and it's NOT ok.
Please be aware that these splogs are out there and ensure that your content remains your own.

Jun 10, 2018 - Sea Cloud
We started the day by sailing west of the island of Korcula. After breakfast our expedition leader Tom O´Brien delighted us with a sailing explanation while Captain Nermerzhitskiy sent his crew to set the sails. Today's sail was full of sunshine and wind that didn't disappoint. After the sails were set we had the pleasure of listening to the Croatian cultural specialist Petra Nosetic's presentation "History of Croatia," taking us through the breakup of Yugoslavia. With a little shopping in the Sea Cloud's ships boutique and a delightful lunch that was the morning and we tendered ashore to Korcula.
Once ashore, we listened to our guides tell the history of this medieval town under the spectacular limestone mountains. Walking through the herringbone streets we saw the St. Mark's Cathedral, a perfect example of the stonemasonry and the Dalmatian stone that has since been used all over the world. Then, a visit to Bishops Palace to see some sketches and drawing by some of the great Italian artists. After the tour we had the chance to walk the streets and browse the shops selling beautiful jewelry made from red coral that is specific to this region.
We met at the old town steps for a short walk to an outdoor amphitheater where we watched the Moreska Sword Dance. Moreska is a dynamic combat dance with swords made from real iron and incredibly heavy, as some of us found out as they passed a few around before the show. We watched as the men heaved swords at each other and the local band, made up of musicians from ages 12 to 75, play new and old songs alike. The threating wind and rain only made for a more dramatic show.
For those of us who did not eat ashore, we were greeted with a traditional Croatian buffet on the lido deck made by our Chef de Cuisine, Maik Albrecht. We all regaled at the day we just had and look forward to our next day in Dubrovnik.

A blueprint to help Greece and to protect the "financial stability of the euro area as a whole" will be discussed in the run up to a meeting of EU finance ministers on March 16 and is expected to be agreed before an economic summit of Europe's leaders 10 days later. However, Greece has indicated that it could be prepared to go to the International Monetary Fund for support if a deal is not agreed.
News that the EU will step in to rescue the country saw the euro rise against the dollar after the announcement to about $1.37, after it had fallen to $1.34 on Tuesday, which was the lowest level since May 2009.
The "additional" Greek austerity measures were drawn up after weeks of negotiations between Brussels, Frankfurt and Athens, following intense pressure from Germany on Greece to step up its debt reduction efforts before it could count on any EU support.
Officials, from both the European Commission in Brussels and Central Bank in Frankfurt, told Greece that its first austerity package amounted to only half of the required 4pc cut to the Greek annual budget deficit of 12.7pc.
The new cuts, effectively dictated by the EU before they were announced by the Greek government yesterday , amount to the missing two percentage points needed to bring Greece back into line with eurozone budget deficit rules.
George Papandreou, the Greek Prime Minister, made it clear, as he told his countrymen of new tax rises and pension cuts, that the trade off would be an EU deal offering Greece some respite from volatile sovereign debt markets.
"We are now justifiably expecting EU solidarity. That is the other side of this agreement. So Europe faces a historic responsibility," he said.
Tomorrow, Mr Papandreou is due to hold talks with Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, in Berlin to finalise the terms of EU support for Greece, or any other struggling country. He is also expected to meet Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, in Paris over the weekend.
José Manuel Barroso, the Commission president, confirmed that following the new cuts, "solidarity" with Greece – EU code for financial support – was back on the agenda.
"Greece's ambitious programme to correct its fiscal imbalances is now on track. Regarding the overall issue of solidarity with Greece, Greece can count on this," he said.
Greece is the first country in 11 years of European monetary union to need a pledge of EU support after concern over its profligate spending levels caused market turbulence that damaged the euro and lifted Greek bond yields, making debt servicing even more difficult for Athens. The crisis has also threatened to tear the euro apart after market jitters spread to take in other highly indebted eurozone countries, such as Spain and Portugal.
Mr Barroso acknowledged that officials were hard at work to draw up "a framework for addressing imminent threats for the financial stability of the euro area as a whole".
"We are working on that issue now," he said.
"There are now intense debates because of the situation in Greece. We have to have solidarity in the EU. The concrete instruments, we will present them in due time."
Using similar language, Jean-Claude Juncker, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg and president of the eurogroup, praised the Greek cuts as "important for the overall financial stability of the euro area".
"Euro area members stand ready to take determined and co-ordinated action, if needed, to safeguard the financial stability in the euro area as a whole," he said.

"Spark and Scala course is really Helpful to me. Main thing is trainer (Suraj) is working in Well product based Company which sharing his complex problem to us as a assignment which really helps to increase the knowledge. Moreover, he is tightly bound with timeframe, so sometimes it feels wired/annoy but at the end we will get good result. thanks Suraj. Also, this course is not just for certification purpose nut it helps to get job opportunity in near future, help to resolve any complex task etc. i would recommend to do course, its worth it"
"I really liked the trainer's approach ,Very supportive and relaxing in nature. His technological skills are very helpful for all, Most importantly his strong technical skills kept me motivated through out the course and most understandable approach in terms of learning. His flawless approach boosted my confidence. His way of a adaptability and ability to assess trainee was very impressive and advance research skills made my training the best, this is the one and only trainer recommended by me for Big Data technology . A relaxing and empowering course – very encouraging with a lot of practical work"
"Hello Everyone, I took Advanced Big data course from Online Learning Center (OLC). After attending demo session on Big data ,it actually change my mind as it has covered each and every topic related to the subject. Then I contacted Suraj and he suggested me to take advanced Big data course. The course has so much depth that you don't need any other reference material. Moreover all the assignments, contents are real time based and really helpful for cracking interviews. He is very dedicated person, have in-depth knowledge in the subject and he used to explain each and every concepts in very detailed manner. By attending this course, I hope it will give me an opportunity to work in Big data technology in some reputed company. I would like to thank Mr. Suraj for sharing his knowledge with us. So if you are looking for your career in Big data this is the right place for you !"
"Hi Everyone, I have joined Advanced Bigdata classes in Online Learning Centre.Initially i was stuck which one to take either fundamentals or advanced as i was already attended bigdata fundamentals in some other institute where i didnt learn not even a single topic clearly. Before joining here i enquired lot of institutes and attened demo also but when i was goingthrough onebigdata class from suraj in udemy at that i visited his OLC site and started attending his demo ,after that immediately i joined his classe.Cost is worthy. Then i contacted Suraj and he suggested me to take advanced bigdata.Ansd he also gave me confidence that i can catch all the topics even though the course has already been started 2 months back.With that hope i joined and i was really able to understand all his classes. I bet you guys you dont get this kind of trainer anywhere in india and iam not bluffing. To be frank his way of explaining each and every topic theoritically and practically are awesome.After attending his demo everyone will join his classes as i did thats the powe of his teaching.Finally i came to right place and rite now still taking the classes i hope i will get good opportunity as well.

Thanks a lot Suraz and thanks a lot to all the mates who was helping me in the sessions on asking complex questions sometimes weird."
"I took Advanced Big data course from Suraj in OLC. If you blindly follow the sessions and get the assignments done then definitely you get a job. The course has so much depth that you don't need any other reference material. There is more than 50 hours of session freely available in his website. If you take those courses then you get idea what I am talking about. Another thing is if you go behind any popular "branded" online learning website. Just ask this question "Is this course enough to land in new job" They have tons of courses and you don't know what are the courses you have to take to get the thorough knowledge of the subject. But with Suraj it just one course "Advance Bigdata" which covers spark, scala, kafka, elasticsearch in great details you no need to take another course. Highly recommended!!!!"

"I spent almost 2-3 months to filter out which portal will be better for me to get enrolled for Big data course. Had gone through various learning centres and looked their course contents (Syllabus) but was not satisfied as they all were segregating chapters by sub-topic. One day I was roaming over Quora and found somebody naming suraz has given his course details and was offering first to go through his free 80-hours course videos broadcasted on You tube and his portal as well. if we get satisfied then and only we join him. I genuinely found this a good deal; so did the same and found that the free contents were even more than the contents some learning portals or institutions were giving adding on Price was even cheaper than them. Believe me even before finishing those 80-hours free videos I decided to enrolled his channel just because the way he teaches and the course materials.; but Suraz denied. He suggested me to finish those videos completely then come to him. After few days I requested him a call so that I can discuss something. we had an hour of discussion about my technical background and my future planning in terms of jobs n all. I started learning Big data and its been 5 months (as per my requirements) altogether to finish the course. when I was about to finish the course I update my naukri profile just to check if I am getting offers or not. Outcome was surprising; I am getting 3-4 calls per week and their requirement was mostly what I was taught in the sessions. The most important thing about this course is :ASSIGNMENTS. You won't get rid of that; if you skip you will regret. yeah of course it will take time to finish those assignments if you are not an experienced one; all you need to do is keep patience and do your homework. Based on my personal experience I suggest everyone to go though his course; that will add another star to their career. Thanks a lot Suraz and thanks a lot to all the mates who was helping me in the sessions on asking complex questions sometimes weird :P .Thank you very much Suraj for all your support. :) :like:"
"The content and the real time explanations are really useful of this course. The tutor(Suraj Ghimire) personally takes care that each of the assignment given to students are completed successfully.Moreover the all the assignments and content are real time based and really helpfull for cracking interviews."
"awesome tutor and his teaching pattern is excellent. got real time understanding on all topics. I strongly recommend OLC for someone who wants to start career in bigdata."
"He is a v.good trainer. He has V.good command over Hadoop, spark, scala, streaming etc. One good quality abt him is he is always available to read ppl's queries and listen to them."
"I had taken spark Scala course. It was really wonderful experience of learning I had spent money other then this with 2 other learning center one of them was Jigsaw academy but the things what was taught there was not of use because they just cover lot of topics and no quality content. But when i interact with, Suraj he asked me to go through his free you tube playlist before going for paid course, those free playlist contains very good content everything in depth and in proper sequence . After going through those i cannot resist myself from getting enrolled for the course. The course is fully interactive you will be occupied completely every week with one or other assignments which is really good because I had not done programming since I left the collage but after 4 years i am feeling confident to write program with Spark on Scala. The best thing about Suraj I personally think is commitment for giving training, how much he was occupied he never postponed class and never drag the course fast to get it completed every thing was covered well and in depth. Thanks Suraj for your help."
"I recommend the Online Learning Center (Suraj) as I never saw this kind of teaching in my 15 years of exp."
"I would like to say, this is the best training center I have never experienced before. Below are the pros and cons Pros: ----- 1. Suraz is wonderful trainer having real time experience. 2. No training institute never ever spends 3 months of training for spark and scala. 3. Course material is so unique that you will never find any where. 4. Trainer will read each line and explain with an example. 5. Many assignments were given and also many followups with the people for the completion then sit with people for review. 6. Real time projects. 7. you will be motivated through out the course 8. After doing this course, able to solve 90% of problems and again those 10% will come by real time experience. cons: ----- 1. Videos are not forever and those are time bound. In my opinion, videos should be shared with their email embedded so that you it can protect piracy to some extent. Rating: *****"
"I have taken Spark-Scala course and I must say, it has a very well planned and comprehensive course material. The mentor Suraj has a very good grasp on the subjects and explains every concept in detail. Every topic has some assignments in order to make you confident about the learning and here mentor follows up to ensure the assignments are getting completed. Your such an amazing trainer, and the way you explain concept is Crystal & Clear. So finally I would recommend if you want be an expert in hadoop, scala and spark developer take the course from OLC. *****"
"After much thinking I decided to shift my career towards Bigdata . I came across online learning center and approached them for Hadoop Course, they requested me to complete the demo videos in youtube . After watching the demo videos I was satisfied and decided to proceed with the main course Once completed I decided to proceed with the Scala/Spark/Elastic Search/Kafka Course. Trainer Suraj have indepth knowledge on bigdata technologies the way he teaches the concepts and assignments on each topic helps to think and understand the concepts much better . The materials provided by them are very clear and easy to understand . The project part is really challenging which makes you think harder and gives a real time feeling. Overall I am really satisfied with the course and confident . Thank you Suraj for this Wonderful Course!!"
"i watched video in youtube shared by suraj,which made me questions multiple in my mind as those was in proper way and deeply from starting but inside came multiple questions this is online course how this will be till end and will this be helpful etc . any how if want to learn then have to start from somewhere and finally joined this advance Spark and Scala course. day by day this course was interesting no doubt this course is well structured and detailed as the real time example ,assignment ,project and each doubt of any topic cleared from basic to deeply with example, along with the course motivation given by suraj that made me to put more effort in learning.I will strongly recommend who want to learn this is right place."
"Online training for mastering Scala/Spark was really awesome ....Suraj will ensure that students concepts are clear & then take forward in-depth of module & also ensure, it is understood by student properly before he proceed to next module.i liked his passion of teaching & giving 100% effort .In return student also trying to complete & submit assignment as acknowledgement ...good platform /institute to learn ( quality) & better then any other institute who would like to take their career forward in mastering Scala Notes :5/5 Training :5/5 Project assignment 5/5 Clearing doubt :5/5"
"When I want to start studying big data . I found that it was so difficult to find a good website or video to take me in the right path. I had confused and don't have time to study many books until I found the online learning center. Therefore, I took the scala and spark and it was perfect but I need machine learning in spark. I hope that it will be very soon. However, I just found one issue with the time, it was so early in my country, so I have to sleep early and weak up early."
"I got acquainted to online learning center by my friend about live demo sessions on big data hadoop mean while i was doing course from private institute side by side which was almost getting finished I attended suraz classes and found huge difference in the coverage and comprehension he provided in lectures.The course which institute covered in 30 hours suraz in contrast gave a in-depth detailed coverage and it was like unfolding mysterious maze. I am not exaggerating the facts trust me each lecture was intensive pack of fundamental which cleared path to build upon advance architect of hadoop and other allied apache projects. I should not miss to mention many institutes do not cover map reduce extensively which is the core of hadoop learning but suraz has dedicated exhaustive material on map reduce and advance map reduce. This further gave me a boost to join advance big data program. The spark and scala program exceeded expectation each chapter was designed analytically just like a cookbook recipe where in you plug in each command and build your own recipe just like pro chef same goes to kafka and elastic search. His assignments would give you hands on and capstan projects will build confidence on subtopics after completing the course you would be confident enough to crack interviews like pro but there is a condition to it. you should consistently follow his lectures notes and grill over it and not skip any assignments if you could get through that then you would get yourself landed in big data job smoothly. If you have come so far reading then i recommend you to like his page subscribe to olc and enroll to his program without any hesitation."
"I have taken Scala, Spark course and found it very useful. I am now able to quickly convert the requirements into spark or scala code.This course is very detailed one and only expectation is:- one to have self dedication.... and rest all is taken care by instructor Suraj. I am looking forward to excel in spark, scala big data technology with more than 100% confidence."
"hi I liked the course content of online learning center and the way of teaching of the trainer(mr. suraz) is good and easy to understand.we learnt spark,scala,kafka and elastic search.I got to know about this advanced big data course after attending free hadoop demo sessions by suraz.Also the realtime project on spark scala is good and useful for future job oppurtunities."
"Initially i learnt spark and scala from some XXXXXX online institute..i felt confident and started giving interviews after facing interviews what i feel is that institute just explained me the basic requirements and not more than that and i feel that iam not yet ready for the race ...Later i have gone through many demo videos...later i came up with suraj's online learning centre..initially i thought as am i repeating same wrong step or not interms of spending money, so firstly i have gone though his 65hrs of free videos...I felt worthful and went ahead for it...After the end of the spark, scala course iam at the level that i came up answering myself all the intervws questions which i face earlier with confidence level of 90% Cons : When compared with scala teaching KAFKA teaching went fast. If it is overcomed then ill give 5/5 My final rating is 4.4/5 Suraj Torch bearer for my career Project part is beyond our imagination and no one gives this type of project where it will have all the challenges, overcomes we do what not everything. Fully satisfied with the project"
"I recommend this training to all freshers and exp. Suraj explains in such a way that, we experience real/practical way of working in an organisation. Even a person with no-experience will understand the sessions, really a great help for career-growth.His training content is diversified as per industry demands. Suraj is having excellent knowledge and patience to explain topics in understandable way, He makes sure classes are of more interactive and it never gets bored."

15 Bad Movies We (And You) Absolutely Love
Watching a good movie can help you understand character development, appreciate filmmaking methods, delve into sophisticated mise-en-scène. Watching a great movie can change your perception, your ideas, your entire life. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a bad movie every once in awhile.
With their insane concepts, campy aesthetics, nonsensical plotlines, and straightforward badness, bad movies are mainstream cinema's bastard children. A malady in film's glorious history, destined to be memorialized as its lowest point, its worst accomplishment, its rock bottom. For all their poor craftsmanship however, there are many godawful movies that are warmly celebrated, not only by weird-loving cinephiles and omnivorous film buffs, but casual viewers as well.
Sometimes due to nostalgia, sometimes as a result of belated cult following, sometimes just as guilty pleasures, these filmmaking messes earned their rightful place in our easy-going, pizza-devouring movie nights.
It's one of those ideas that you come up with at 3 AM, wasted in a bar with friends: "Sharknado, dude! It's, like, a tornado, but with sharks in it!" Every once in awhile, however, we're lucky enough to see some of those epically outrageous ideas come to life.
Developed by Syfy channel and directed by low-budget horror/comedy specialist Anthony C. Ferrante, Sharknadobecame an unexpected Twitter sensation that spread across the accounts of enthusiastic buffs and plugged-in celebrities. It went through repeated TV broadcasts and midnight screenings and gained a huge cult following. Those who like their b-movies mindless, bloodsoaked, and fun will find shelter in its silly plotted, cheaply visualized and godawfully performed glory!
Sharknado's popularity led to a successful franchise, consisted of hilariously titled sequels and spin-offs (Sharknado 2: The Second One, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, Sharknado: Heart of Sharkness), books, comics, video games, even a neat Funko POP Vinyl Figure.
John Boorman's disturbing thriller Deliverance finished in fifth place in 1972's box-office race and is widely considered as one of the best films of the '70s. His next project was supposed to be a feature adaptation of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, but when the studio pulled the plug on that one, frightened of a possible budget overrun, he came up with his own idea for a fantasy world. Thus, Zardoz was born. But Lord of the Rings, Zardoz is not.
The film is set in a dystopic 2293, where humanity is divided into the Brutals; the mortal commoners spread across a barren Earth, and the Eternals; the immortal race living in a luxurious villa complex in an upper plane. When a Brutal, trained to kill his own kind, sneaks into the land of the Eternals via a flying talking stone head (Zardoz), he will find out that they are… kinda bored. The rest is hard to describe and even harder to follow.
Zardoz is an nonsensical delight that only the stoned '70s would be capable of giving birth to, and it remains a living mystery how a running film studio had actually funded it. It has managed to carve into our collective pop-culture subconscious with its kitschy absurdity, its laughable dialogues, and its emblematic image of a hairy Sean Connery wandering around in those red panties, with a full Frank Zappa moustache and ponytail going on.
Nicolas Cage is one of the few actors to achieve both critical praise, as one of the greatest of his generation, and a cult following, as a consistent participant in astonishingly bad movies. From Vampire's Kiss to Ghost Rider, he's portrayed several horrible characters (with even more horrible haircuts), but if one really stands out is Edward Malus in the 2006The Wicker Man.
One of the most unnecessary remakes in history, The Wicker Man has been under development for many years, before finally ending up at the hands of director Neil LaBute. Wary of the outcome, Robin Hardy, the director of the original 1973 cult classic, avoided any involvement and removed his name from the production. LaBute relocated the setting from the isolated islands of Scotland to the modern American countryside, where a ridiculously excessive Nic Cage roams around running nervously, stealing bicycles, punching women in the face while dressed in bear costumes, and shouting lines of pure gold.
Make no mistake, The Wicker Man is one of the best unintentional comedies ever filmed. The rest is just bad marketing.
There is a certain amount of loneliness and beauty in being labeled as the worst director of all time. A crossdresser, an eccentric, and a legitimate daydreamer, Edward Wood Jr. disregarded the criticism and kept making the thing he loved the most: movies. In 1956 (it took three years to find a distributor), he written, produced, directed, and edited his most famous work, the indescribable Plan 9 From Outer Space. A terrifying ordeal indeed.
Plan 9 was Wood's attempt to deliver a sci-fi epic, combining elements of gothic horror and atomic age paranoia. In its charming plot, an alien race invades Earth and resurrects the dead in order to stop mankind from creating a weapon of mass destruction that threatens not only our planet, but the universe itself. From toys portraying flying saucers and shower curtains being used as airplane cockpit doors to plenty of cast members being baptized into a Baptist church (one of the film's major funders), Plan 9 is surrounded with so many hilarious backstage stories that it has become a legend.
The film remains legitimately fun even today, due to its extraordinarily poor filmmaking. It was Ed Wood's personal favorite and a requiem to his relationship with Bela Lugosi, who died shortly before its release. Tim Burton payed a tender tribute to that relationship in what's probably his best film, Ed Wood.
Before being recognized as one of the most important and versatile actors of his generation, Jim Carrey was a stream of bad-taste comedic absurdity. His nasty, over-the-top performances were flat-out hated by film critics, but his high-energy humor, tightly combined with his expressive body-language, was embraced by audiences and gained him huge popularity.
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is the sequel to the okay comedy, and by any means more normal movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In it, Ace is called upon to tribal Africa, in order to retrieve a stolen sacred white bat, the animal he despises the most. From the Cliffhanger-parodying intro to the infamous Rhino birth, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is nothing short of a brainless ninety-minute butt-cheek-talking tour-de-force by Jim Carrey.
Hugely successful in the mid-nineties, the film spawned an animated TV series that ran for three seasons, while some might even remember a pretty fun Ace Ventura point-and-click PC adventure game.
Ever wondered what would be the outcome if The Birds was directed by Edward Wood Jr. instead of Alfred Hitchcock? Enter Vietnamese b-movie auteur James Nguyen, and his ghastly vision of unspeakable feathered ecological horrors, in Birdemic: Shock and Terror.
Birdemic a masterclass of bad cinema. Where to begin? The ridiculous romantic plot? The goofy dialogue pieces? The laughably amateurish performances? The awkward direction and clumsy frame composition? Or the special effects, so shoddy and horrible that they have to be seen to be believed? Wherever one may begin, the only certainty isBirdemic's utter lack of filmmaking craft. It's an embarrassment to the medium so extravagant that it can bring bad movie buffs to tears of joy upon each screening.
Nguyen managed to put out a second part, Birdemic 2: The Resurrection, in eye-popping (no, really) 3D, while he plans to release Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle in the near future, to complete the Birdemic saga and conclude his brief, but noteworthy filmmaking career.
Paul Verhoeven is a talented filmmaker, able to direct great films, such as the sci-fi classics RoboCop and Total Recall, the WWII thriller Black Book and this year's shattering psychological drama Elle. He is also capable of delivering monstrosities like that appalling Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon, and of course, Showgirls (no, not Striptease, the other one).
At first glance, Showgirls is a morally repugnant, misanthropic fest of exploitative sex and genuinely unlikable characters. It is the sort of material that could easily go around offending people, especially women. The good news is it's so exaggerated in its dramatization, so badly written and overly acted, that it cannot be taken seriously. It quickly became a guilty pleasure due to its amusing scenes, its unrealistic dialogue, and that hilarious pool scene with Elizabeth Berkley and Kyle MacLachlan– well-worthy of a corniest-sex-scene-ever award– setting straight its initial box-office flop with enormous VHS sales.
Apart from the cult following, many film critics and famous directors, Quentin Tarantino and Jim Jarmusch among them, acknowledge the film as an insightful satire, an ironic and apt critique of Hollywood's cruel star system. So there's that.
Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line was a dream for kids who grew up in the decade. He-Man and She-Ra's science fantasy adventures against Skeletor and the Evil Horde became a billion dollar franchise that got adapted into an influential animated series, various comic books, and that horrendous 1987 Dolph Lundgren flick.
A mishmash of Star Wars and Conan The Barbarian, filtered through the campiness of Flash Gordon, Masters of the Universe is a classic so-bad-it's-good situation. It was scripted by The Dark Crystal's David Odell and directed by theme park specialist Gary Goddard, but turned out so bad that it became his one and only feature film. One of those childhood movies that never live up to its memory, the film is filled with poor writing, genre cliches, cheap SFX, and mullets. It flopped both critically and commercially, but gained recognition the last couple of years, due to a nostalgic cult following.
Masters of the Universe, along with Superman IV: The Quest, led to the shutdown of its production company, Cannon Films. Ironically, while Dolph Lundgren never liked playing He-Man, Frank Langella loved being Skeletor!
Those who grew up in the 1990s know that Arnold Schwarzenegger's hardest mission to date wasn't coming up against invisible aliens or cyborg terminators, nor even facing Satan himself. It was making a last minute Christmas purchase of the ultra-demanded Turbo-Man action figure for his son. Now, that was tough.
Responsible for some average children's flicks like Beethoven, The Flintstones, and a couple of Scooby-Doo TV movies, Brian Levant received his only Golden Raspberry Award nomination for 1996's Jingle All The Way. The film was produced by Chris Columbus and although it had notions of critique on the frantic consumerism Western society indulges to during Christmas, it failed on almost every level, thanks to a poorly written script, cartoonish characters, and a truly horrible ending.
Although it was bashed by most critics, Jingle All The Way performed pretty good at the box office. It was barely beaten by the other 1996 piece of childhood nostalgia, Space Jam. Today it is celebrated by many near-30-year-olds as a Christmas classic, with Arnie's amusing one-liners being quoted over and over.
Whereas Conan the Barbarian is widely praised as one of the finest fantasy adventures, justly introducing Robert E. Howard's savage world of Hyboria for the first time, Conan the Destroyer is a trainwreck of a sequel, as dumb as its gargantuan hero.
The film was once more produced by Dino De Laurentiis, but was this time directed by Richard Fleischer, who made such classics as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Fantastic Voyage and Tora! Tora! Tora! It aimed for a change of course from the original, into less violent and more humorous territory, in order to make more profit (only it didn't). Campiness came along the way, resulting in an empty-headed, yet highly enjoyable film that features a cheerful and ridiculously puffed-up Schwarzenegger, spitting one hilarious line after the other.
Extra credit must be given to the film's wonderful cinematography from legendary DOP Jack Cardiff, who captured some of the pulpy quality of Robert E. Howard's texts. In any case, Conan the Destroyer stands way above uninspired 2011 reboot, both in terms of creativity and sheer fun.
Judge Dredd is a perfect example of a movie gone terribly wrong due to creative differences. Danny Cannon, who's doing a great job directing, producing, and writing in television to this day, was a Dredd enthusiast with extensive knowledge over the comic book series. As such, he envisioned a dark and violent film adaptation, worthy of the source material. The studio, however, along with good ol' Sly, had a different opinion.
Being as big a star as Stallone was in the mid-nineties meant that he could intervene in the projects he was involved in any time. The actor interpreted the material as a full-on comedy instead of satire, and demanded significant changes to the script and the overall tone of the film. The result? A Judge Dredd parody. And one of the worst films of 1995 becomes even lousier with Rob Schneider's unbearably sleazy presence.
Still, Judge Dredd is a fun watch. It features a memorable score by Alan Silvestri, ace production design and visual effects (considering the time it came out), and even a couple of jolly moments of humor that was so noticeably absent from the otherwise infinitely superior 2012 version.
When it comes to video game adaptations in the '90s, one question comes to mind: "What the hell were they thinking?" It started off with 1993's unspeakable Super Mario Bros. adaptation, continued with Jean-Claude Van Damme's Street Fighter next year (more in the next entry), and went even further with Mortal Kombat in 1995.
Now, truth be told, Mortal Kombat plays in retrospect as a pretty decent action flick. Yes, the plot is weak, the acting is cheesy, the effects are sloppy and it feels like a b-movie, but that's what makes it so watchable. It stands as Paul W.S. Anderson's best film to date and by far his most entertaining. Partly shot on location in Thailand, it made excellent use of its exotic monuments and landscapes, the production design was impressive, the original score by George S. Clinton was imposing, and the fight choreography solid.
What's really best about the movie is its campy aspects: the laughable CGI moments that obviously required a bigger budget but they went for them anyway, the cheesy one-liners that render the film with a priceless comedic quality, and Christopher Lambert portraying Rayden as a bored Connor MacLeod. Plus that ultra-hit techno theme song? Just. Wow.
Those looking for a decent adaptation of the historic beat-'em-up game Street Fighter should take a look at the Japanese anime Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Street Fighter Alpha, and the series Street Fighter II: V. Those looking for brainless fun, brimming with poorly executed action, and bad performances, look no further than Street Fighter: The Movie. You're in for a treat.
With Capcom hurrying to put their ultra-successful video game to the big screen, Street Fighter went through a carelessly hasty production that had costed it severely. It was drafted overnight by long-time screenwriter Steven E. de Souza (also responsible for a couple of other entries on this list), to whom Capcom entrusted the direction as well, being a fan of the game and all. It casted the late Raúl Juliá, who was suffering from cancer during shooting and died shortly before the film's release, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Ming-Na Wen, the yet unknown Kylie Minogue, and of course, the ultimate action star of the times: Jean-Claude Van Damme, who got paid almost one fourth of the film's total budget.
An exemplary specimen of bad '90s action, the film was a financial success despite its critical boycott and gave us one of the most charmingly campy villains of the decade in Raúl Juliá's M. Bison.
You have Brecht's detached acting techniques. You have the classic Stanislavski system. You have the powerful Method acting. And then, you have the Tommy Wiseau school of acting, popularized by his seminal work in the worshipped 2003 cult classic The Room.
Adapted from an unpublished 500-pages book, which was adapted from a stage play he previously wrote, The Roomcan be interpreted as an artist's ultimate effort to put out his vision with no strings attached. Wiseau self-financed the whole production from a notoriously secretive funding source and boldly directed without a basic knowledge of the medium. He also portrayed the film's protagonist Johnny, a successful banker whose fiancee Lisa dumps him for his best friend Mark.
Claiming that The Room suffers from filmmaking flaws would be an understatement. From the endless continuity errors to the unexplicable character personality shifts, the film is realized with such phenomenal inconsistency, it has made it a huge hit. Its distinguishing feature, however, is Wiseau's delightful, apathetic, undramatized acting, bound to thrill film buffs in repeated midnight screenings.
The film's Mark, Greg Sestero, recounted all his weird production experiences in the award-winning book The Disaster Artist, which is currently under development for a feature film adaptation. Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Alison Brie, Sharon Stone, and Bryan Cranston are among the announced cast, while James Franco is set to produce, direct and star as Wiseau, with the blessings of the man himself.
This is it. The definitive cult film. The holy grail of bad movies. The quintessence of so-bad-it's-good. Claudio Fragasso's Troll 2.
Misleadingly titled as the sequel to the horrible 1986 fantasy Troll as a means for a greater market value, Troll 2 is beyond horrible. The film features an army of ravenous vegetarian goblins (along with a complete lack of trolls) who hunt down a family in order to transform them into plants and eat them. It was later revealed that the initial idea came from the director's wife, Rosella Drudi, who got irritated by the fact that a lot of her friends were becoming vegans!
The massive communication chasm between the Italian speaking crew and the American actors took the film's makeshift filmmaking to the next level. The nonexistent production values, the cast's amusingly campy dialogue and Fragasso's outrageously misguided direction all establish Troll 2 as one of the most bizarrely enjoyable moviegoing experiences, especially in a packed theater.
The legacy of Troll 2 is touchingly showcased in the insightful 2009 documentary Best Worst Movie, directed by the child star of the film, Michael Stephenson. Best Worst Movie is a reassuring indication that such movies do actually have an audience, and are constantly revisited, appreciated and, why not, even cherished.

I haven't seen them all, but there are some pretty hard to watch movies in this list.
Zardoz is a great film. If nothing else you get to see Charlotte Rampling in her prime. And in the nuddie.

Just wanted to show you the latest addition to our kitchen.
I got it at a Celebrating Home party.
It's the perfect size (and even matches our hardware). We don't have undercabinet lighting, so this little guy is perfect. He casts a soft glow and is so pretty at night. The other night we ate dinner by the light of this little lamp and one candle...it was quite fun! (take notice of the crown molding while you're at it--yay!!)
I'm hoping to post some pics of Christmas decor around here soon. Maybe tomorrow?? We'll see if I can clean the place up a bit;)

As a follow up on my previous post, here how to replace the D5 and D6. The white multi-line on the component is the cathode. On the PCB footprint, rounded corners on one side indicate the cathode position. As they say, a picture is better than 1000 words:
And while removing the old parts, please make sure you follow the common sense approach:
- Wet the place with lots of liquid flux
- Replace solder on the pads with good quality 60/40 lead solder
- Heat up with enough heat (320 deg C) and alternate between two pads. Use absolute minimum force. Or use solder braid to heat up both pads the same time
- Clean the pad from flux before soldering the replacement part

My journey as an educator began 19 years ago at Holley-Navarre Intermediate School, a Title 1 school on the Florida panhandle. I was one of 17 5th grade teachers my initial year. In addition to experience, I gained a deep appreciation for my 10-year-old students, excitedly admitting to anyone that would listen the degree to which I had been educated my neophyte year by those glorious children. Man, was I smitten!
I would spend the next nine years at Holley Navarre Intermediate School teaching fifth grade and honing my craft, with most of that time devoted to providing science instruction. Because our school clustered gifted and high-achieving students (and I was asked to be a cluster teacher), I pursued and earned my master's degree in gifted education from the University of South Alabama. The years teaching at Holley Navarre Intermediate School opened many doors. I served on the district's science and English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) cadres, was the school web manager, was selected as the Rookie of Year and Teacher of the Year, and was chosen to fly on the Zero-G educator flight at Kennedy Space Center.
When my husband's job brought us to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, I was intrigued to find a K-6 public school for gifted and high-achieving students. After teaching fifth grade my first year living in Tennessee, I was hired to teach sixth grade math and science at that school for high achievers, The Discovery School. It was like falling in love with teaching all over again. During the next eight years I started a competitive robotics team (which is still going strong); implemented Renzulli's Schoolwide Enrichment Model; blogged for Scholastic; was awarded 12 different grants for math and science; took students to Izmir, Turkey, for Space Camp Turkey; was recognized as the 2013 Tennessee Grand Division Teacher of the Year for grades six through eight and one of nine finalists for the 2013 Tennessee Teacher of the Year; earned my doctorate in Leadership and Professional Practice; and taught math and science like my hair was on fire.
Providing an environment where my students can take risks and experience authentic learning is the cornerstone of my educational philosophy. The connection between student and teacher is everything. Throughout the years, I have constantly found myself repairing the self-efficacy of students in mathematics, especially my female students. Earning a student's trust is the vehicle for making the necessary adjustments to a student's belief in his or her ability to analyze, manipulate, and create mathematically. After struggling students admit that math isn't so bad, I would quietly lean in and say, "Some times, math chooses you," and smile, knowing for those students, math has another shot.
I currently serve as one of two Gifted Coordinators for Murfreesboro City Schools. Assigned to six schools, I am responsible for consulting with students, supporting teachers that have gifted clusters in their classrooms, identifying academic talent, maintaining gifted IEPs, and providing professional development. I am excited to return to the Top Teaching blog to share ideas for integrated lessons, classroom organization, and varied approaches to creativity and differentiation.

As cooking shows have taken over culinary media, many of us get our culinary inspiration from celebrity chefs on TV, but that isn't the only way to stay abreast of new techniques, food news, and insight from some of the globe's best culinary minds. The world of podcasts is exploding, thanks in large part to popular shows like Serial and This American Life, but there are plenty of food-related podcast to expand your foodie horizons. – via pastemagazine.com
Yeah, food-related podcasts are definitely becoming "a thing"; from shows dedicated to specific recipes, the history of food, and live cooking while chatting with listeners, here are our three best podcasts all about cooking.
1. Food, Drink, and Travel
Nanci Jo Shaper is the host of a cool podcast about unique and lively conversations on the world of food, drink, and travel. On each episode, she talks with the top people in their field such as wine experts and winemakers, chefs and restauranteurs, and travel experts.
Favorite episode: bagels from almonds, chocolate coconut truffles with coconut nectar, nachos with walnut meat, and so much more… in a really special episode with guest Janabai Amsden, Co-Owner of Rawvolution Restaurant in Santa Monica, California. Rawvolution is "Raw" like you may have never tasted or seen before!
2. Just Cook It Radio
Chef Mario Porreca discovers and shares fun new creations with food and drink, interviews interesting special guests, and prepares some of your favorite dishes live on air!
Favorite episode: if you're into breakfast foods, like us, enjoy listening to Mario's voice while he makes Country-Style Scrambled Eggs. Mario and his guest JD end National Hot Breakfast Month on a high note by making Country-Style Scrambled Eggs.
3. Let's Go Eat Podcast
The idea behind Bill Alred's show is super interesting: lots of good things can happen over a meal. You have a little food, a little bit to drink, and the next thing you know you've solved all the world's problems – and that's what he wants to do with The Let's Go Eat Show. He finds someone interesting to speak to in every episode from the entertainment world, the arts, or politics and sits down with them for some food, some drinks, and some conversation.
Favorite episode: on this episode you'll learn more about the area in Southern Utah called Bears Ears, and the efforts of the Native American peoples to protect and preserve that land. The first guest is a former San Juan County Commissioner and a member of the Navajo Indian Tribe, Mark Maryboy. The second is a Navajo Medicine Man, Jonah Yellowman.

That Agave
Though I certainly haven't seen every Agave out there to see. The Huntington's is not quite as pretty as mine. I'm not bragging--I had nothing to do with it. The plant did the work.
Both have leaves with a slightly scabrous texture.
An Agave expert says A. marmorata, because of the distinctive way the newest leaf emerges encircled by the previous leaf.
The Huntington sign says:
Though of course signs are not to be wholly trusted at botanical gardens, even when they are not very helpful.
Here's my Euro American tissue-cultured A. marmorata, which was for sale a few years ago. EA gave it the common name 'Turtle Teeth' for sales purposes. Heh. It's greener and twice as big as That Agave:
It looked more like the two That Agaves when it was younger:
Not quite the same. Rancho Soledad says of A. marmorata: "This species is variable with some plants being quite large while others...are of more modest size; some have leaves that are a dusky green and sometimes these leaves are distinctly striped in pale blue while others are entirely green or gray."
Here's That Agave's first offset:
Not much of an offsetter. I've gotten one other, and it's small.
Here is That Agave's baby picture, back in 2011. It was a lot more green then than it is now:
Agaves can vary widely within a single species, sometimes so much so as to fool experts for a while. That Agave varies in a good way. It explains why we often see "selections" of a particular plant for sale--the grower liked it better than all the others--it has some particular virtue (cold hardiness, compact growth) or feature (a more eye-catching color) that others of the same species lack.

The EU State aid rules are designed to stop Governments and local authorities giving companies a selective advantage, as doing so would create an unequal playing field. Say for example, a competitor in one country was given a 10% subsidy by the Government whilst the company's closest competitor in another country was not given the same subsidy. It is likely the latter would not be able to compete effectively and could be driven out of business. These State aid rules also apply to tax breaks, the basic rule being that countries throughout the EU can have different tax levels, but they cannot apply advantages to a company or some companies which other companies do not enjoy. This means that a special tax break or status granted to a company can infringe the EU State aid rules.
On 26 October 2017, the EU Commission accused the UK of granting such a break, and therefore violating the EU State aid rules. According to the Commission, the infringing rule in question is the UK's so-called 'group financing exemption' to its Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) rules. The general purpose of the UK's CFC rules is to prevent UK companies from using a subsidiary, based in a low or no tax jurisdiction, to avoid taxation in the UK. In particular, they allow the UK tax authorities to reallocate all profits artificially shifted to an offshore subsidiary back to the UK parent company, where it can be taxed accordingly.
The group financing exemption to CFC exempts financing income from UK taxation when that income is received by an offshore subsidiary from a foreign group company. The EU believes this exemption is being used by multinationals in the UK to channel their capital from the UK, to offshore subsidiaries. From there it goes through loan and interest repayments from the offshore subsidiary to a foreign group company and then back to the offshore subsidiary, where it then finally locates that capital back in the UK, where it will be free of tax.
The investigation has just commenced so it may be some time before the Commission either demands remedial action from the UK Government or fines particular companies it believes have enjoyed these select advantages.
The Commission's press release (and helpful diagram) can be found here.

Sepia Saturday 127 - market
13 comments:
Although I'm not a knitter or crocheter, I imagine a yarn market would be fun to visit -- all the colors and textures. I can't stand a "Do not touch" sign.ReplyDelete
I agree with Wendy. I'd think a yarn market would be a lovely place to visit.ReplyDelete
I hope they don't tell tall stories at a yarn market. I've been near Ross several times, it looks a place I should stop and take a look at.ReplyDelete
I guess like the others the idea of a Yarn Market is intriguing.ReplyDelete
I love markets like the second one - in those big spacious buildings. But the smells aren't usually too nice!ReplyDelete
What I find so impressive are the buildings. They are just amazing....and the amount of days that so many of them have stood and the many more moons they shall see!ReplyDelete
Great postcard views, thank you. That market hall in Ross looks like so many such buildings in the centres of small to medium-sized English towns, where they have survived. It would be good to see them full of produce again, but all too often I think they get taken over by craft and knick-knack stalls, the market gardeners/being forced out by low prices in the supermarkets.ReplyDelete
Co-incidentally I have just 'relieved' my parents of a batch of interesting postcards on my recent trip back to UK and there is one of the Yarn market! I saved that one thinking it may come in sometime. I had to pick a few PCs and ditch the rest (you're probably shouting at me) as I couldn't bring them all back. Let's hope I made the right choices, inspired by the cards I usually see on here.ReplyDelete
I would love to go to all three! Everything is so OLD. Great choices, I enjoyed your post very much.ReplyDelete
Kathy M.
My favorite is the Covent Garden Market card. That looks the most like a market to me.ReplyDelete
Hi, Its the first time ive joined in with Sepia Saturday so im looking forward to meeting lots of new people and reading fun blogsReplyDelete
Very nice postcards and right on theme. I had never even heard of a Yarn Market.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous29 May 2012 at 04:49
Great postcards - they make me want to visit a market! The building on the left in the Ross market postcard reminds me of the buildings in Chester, England.ReplyDelete

July 2010
monthly cruise-in was a special event this month for a couple of
reasons: 1st, there was a sanctioned competitive BBQ and , 2nd,
two ofther Brit Car Clubs joined us so we could hold our own against
those Detroit Iron cars. We displayed 9 Brit cars from our club
plus another 7 from Knoxville EAS and Blount British Cars. Oh yes,
we also had a Mercedes 380SL. However we christened with the nonorary
title of Austin Bug Eye Sprite. The owners don't know that yet.
In all about 200 cars showed up, making for a great day in spite
of the 100°+ weather. And many thanks to Laurence & Janice
Vooght for the great photos. Pat and I forgot our camera.

The Cross Rifles, 1 Bath Road, Bridgwater, TA6 4PH
Present: Steve Gill, Pat Morgan, Tricia Brown, Colin Brown, Dave Perrin, Mike Grabner, Marion Maddison, Ivana Hodgkinson, Steve Morgan, Joseph Abela
Apologies: Di Grabner, Joan Gill
Guests: John and Julie Lucey, Viv Streeter (BIBIC)
Minutes from last meeting; Received by all and agreed.
Matters arising: CB has secured a place for a Marsa Council representative at the Squibbing procession following this year's carnival. MG has the contact details.
Fundraising-Race Night: JL and JL were introduced by DP and gave the members a comprehensive outline of how to hold this function. It involves an outlay of approx £300 and requires the securing of sponsorship for each of the 7/8 races (@ £25), selling advertising space in the race programme (£25-75), naming individual horses (@£2)and securing corporate guest attendance and the provision of wine, champagne and light refreshments. It takes 2 months of hard work and dedicated lobbying of local businesses to ensure sponsorship of all races and commercial success of the production of the race programme. JL circulated a sample programme used on a previous race night. He agreed to assist us in the preparation process if the Association agrees to the donation to the football club. JL also is willing to have 3 members of the said club to assist in the running of the event on the night. He and JL answered questions and queries ( graphic outlay of advertising space, process of betting, advertising the event, raising donated goods) and the members agreed to hold a race night on Saturday 3rd June 2006 at the Cross Rifles. All agreed to be involved but it was decided to have a small sub committee whose members would focus on bringing this to a successful conclusion. ALL
Update from the Chair: SG introduced VS (BIBIC) and asked her what the Association can do to effectively work with BIBIC. VS stated that her organisation receives children at their centre for treatment and these are always accompanied by their parents. BIBIC has sent therapists to Malta and links between BIBIC and Malta Schools have been established. VH added greater detail on this matter. VS proposed the consideration by the members to sponsor a child/parent for treatment at BIBIC and support them in some way during their stay in the locality. Funding may be accessed via the terms and conditions of town twinning and the EU budget steam on education, health/ child development. CB and TB are visiting Malta next week and are prepared to take any relevant information and deliver it. VS was asked if BIBIC would become a corporate member of the Association and she agreed to put this proposal to her management team. SG, MG and VS agreed to meet in the near future to discuss ways and means of accessing funding streams. SG/MG
Update from Vice Chair: PM reported that the Scouts Information pack is ready and CB and TB agreed to deliver it to Malta. She had a discussion with Kevin Lynham regarding the use of the skittle trophies and following discussions on a wider level, it has been agreed to allocate the cups to the Bridgwater LVA Skittle League (2) and 2 to the Bridgwater Ladies Skittle League for this season. All agreed that this reflects the appropriateness of the trophies and the sporting/leisure link with Marsa.
Update from the Secretary: MG reported his contact with the artist of the WER R U project and asked the members to consider the Association's involvement in the face of negative feedback from BTC. Discussions around its purpose, proposed location and direct benefit to the association were the main topics. The members voted 9 to 1 AGAINST any involvement with this project. MG to communicate this to the artist. MG
MG stated that 'andy', creator of a Bridgwater website, has asked if he could establish a link with our site and all agreed to this. MG to advise 'andy'. MG
Update from the Treasurer: James (Association webmaster) submitted the annual subscription (£27) for our website www.bridgwater-marsa.webeden.co.uk which has been paid. DP declared the Association fund to be £553.07p (bank account) and £20.88p (cash).
He agreed to distribute sample copies of the Race night programme to all member when JL provides them. DP
Update from the Membership Secretary: MM stated that she did not receive any feedback from Gary and Helen and had nothing further to report.
Update from the Press Officer: PM had nothing to report.
Any other business: CB provided details of a place at the squibbing (mention earlier). A photo of the person at the event would be very desirable and for inclusion in the Association archives. He also asked about details of the association website and enquired as to the possibility of a web linkage with BIBIC. MG and SG to discuss this when they meet with a BIBIC representative. MG/SG
SG proposed the cancellation of the Maltese fest night in preference to concentrating on the Race Night. All agreed
MG asked JA if Pontins would consider becoming a corporate member of the Association. JA said he would be willing to make the necessary approaches but would require some official request to support this. MG to arrange (need a contact name/address). MG
Date/time/venue of next meeting:
Tuesday 11th April 2006 18:30 hours
The Cross Rifles, 1 Bath Road, Bridgwater, TA6 4PH
Agenda Item: Race Night/forming the working group

lol Jesus
So it was 1955 and he kicked some black dude named corn pop out the pool, called him Esther, his Christian name, then was gonna wrap a chain around his head after dodging razor blades?
The moral of the story is.... white people gotta constantly put up with black peoples bullshit.
I feel it.
Esther was a world class swimmer chic with records
Would bang
Lol but yea...
Senile Biden is wild lol.
Not sure what sort of campaign strategy it is when you tell the public that during the height of racial tensions in the U.S. you....
Called CJ's great uncle Corn Pop a white bitch
Insulted his hair
Ejected him from a public pool (big thing in that day)
Then went to the parking lot to whip him and his friends with a chain?
Although if Corn Pop and the crew really had rusty straight edge shaving blades, you gotta improvise.
Entire scenario is hilarious. Really wish Patrice O'neal didn't die, because if he was alive a recent stand-up set of him analyzing it would be next level.
https://books.google.com/books?id=Cl...im.%22&f=falseIn 1911, Henry Pratt Fairchild, an influential American sociologist, said about new immigrants, "If he proves himself a man, and  acquires wealth and cleans himself up  very well, we might receive him in a generation or two. But at present he is far beneath us, and the burden of proof rests with him. They ultimately met that burden and crucial to their success was that they were not black and they actively helped in maintaining a racist society.
The influx of new immigrants led to apocalyptic predictions about the impending doom awaiting America foreigners would impose their inferior biology, peculiar religious practices, and substandard ways of living onto this country, lowering an elevated civilization. Many held that they were not white, rather members of a lower biological order. The kinder view held they were simply culturally inferior dirty, less intelligent, criminal-prone but could assimilate.
Not being considered white led to new immigrant misery. Economist Robert F. Forester wrote in 1924, in a country where the distinction between white man and black is intended as a distinction of value it is no compliment to the Italian to deny him his whiteness, but that actually happens with considerable frequency.https://books.google.com/books?id=Cl...im.%22&f=falseIn 1911, Henry Pratt Fairchild, an influential American sociologist, said about new immigrants, If he proves himself a man, and  acquires wealth and cleans himself up  very well, we might receive him in a generation or two.

One Serbian worker said during the era, You soon know something about this country. Negroes never get a fair chance.
They chose whiteness and sought to demonstrate their cultural and biological fitness. They soon learned, though, when whites said prove yourself, helping protect and expand white supremacy was considered convincing evidence.
They watched whites abuse blacks, mimicked whatever they saw and whiteness the carrot they had long reached for slowly came closer to their grasp.
Not everyone's a monster under the bed, Dooch.

Loyalty is Royalty. Strength and Loyalty
Thread is now:
Social studies class + Ironman who never really interacted with Italians
Get in line. The Dagos tried to mentally break me in my early years doing physical labor work because having Nordic and Teutonic ancestry features & blood. I was even called a kike just for eating a bagel w/ cream cheese for 3 days in a row. Wont say what they called bologna. It's their thing. Break you down using every slur/trick in the book, and if you don't crack.. you might get invited to dinner where the matriarch "Noni" or whatever serves you endless plates.
In retrospect, it was a great experience. Un-bitched me so I didnt end up in my 30's collecting SNES cartridges or snorting fetanyl over a camp fire like mister yo's 17 uncles who are planning some 'score' to rob a marina of boat lacquer.
ET cock,
Italians are wholly secure in their ethnicity and cannot be tricked into self hatred by our northern cousins whom we conquered and brought civilization to many centuries ago.
Your eggplant divide and conquer strategy wont work on us, bruh.
Youre people are seen as the lowest of the low. No offense its just a fact. And its not a white mans opinion only.
I like a lot of black dudes who chose to embrace the white way just as we did many years ago.
They get it.
The rest can live in the black mans trailer park aka the projects.
And we are actually the original Latin man. Get it right At least

This reminds me of Hillary Clinton using the fake southern drawl, or telling a black radio host she carries hot sauce in her purse. Typical tactic of elitist white demoKKKRats. Any self respecting black man should be insulted. Here you have Joe Biden, a pedophile hair sniffing lying pervert who even the demoKKKrat owned Washington Post had to admit completely fabricates and makes up stories, talking in ebonics trying to do his best caricature of a black rapper. And look at those dumb old black Baptists in the audience. They love being pandered to. They love the fake ebonics. They love an old white geezer doing his best caricature of a dumb black rapper.
Black demoKKKrats are unKle toms. The good news is that most of the black demoKKKRats who support Biden and like to be pandered to like this are older black demoKKKrats. Young black men and women see through this bullshit.
Joe Biden used to support segregation. He called former KKK leader Robert Byrd his "dear friend" and a "great leader" (not mentioning he was leading KKK). We only find out about these things after he served 8 years as VP. They spend billions of dollars trying to cover these things up. Joe Biden is also a plagiarist, and a known bullshitter.
I'm tired of elitist white demoKKKrats insulting black Americans, insulting their intelligence, using fake ebonics and fake southern drawl accents, and treating the black American population as some kind of monolithic voting block that they own.
The smartest thing I've heard a young, intelligent black Conservative say ( I think it was a VICE documentary on black conservatism) is that black voters need to "start moving like free agents."
A free agent can sign with any team. That's like a black voter that can vote for any party. YOu make the teams, or political parties, actually give you something. A signing bonus. A large contract. Say in how the team is built (Lebron James).
Black voters haven't been doing that the last 50 years. The demoKKKRats know they own you so they don't do anything for you. Republicans know the demoKKKRats own you so they don't do anything for you.
A free agent can't get a large contract if every team knows he's already decided what team he's going to play for.
MOVE LIKE FREE AGENTS!!! Stop being demoKKKrat Unkle Toms! For fuck sakes, read about the history of the demoKKKrat party! They were on the wrong side of Civil Rights for over 150 years! The parties never switched. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
haha. we had another successful tailgate on Sunday. unfortunately the steelers weren't as successful. RIP Big Ben
started off with some miller lite then a little vodka and a shot of fireball. some were beer-bonging, however i did not take part in that this week.
as far as food goes, for breakfast we had egg mcmuffins, some good pastries (even some canolli for the eye-talians). then for lunch we cooked up some pork, burgers, mac n cheese and had some pizza delivered.
