How we face death is at least as important as how we face life[edit]
Removed claim that Nemesis was first Trek film about human nature. Star Trek II is about how we confront death, failure and old age, and how striving to do what we do best keeps us young and alive. That is also a look at human nature. So I took the claim out here. 22.214.171.124 01:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
"This film is widely regarded as the final Star Trek movie..." -- that's presumably based on the trailer saying "a generation's final journey" or something similar.
Also based on the fact the crew broke up and went their seperate ways
Why a related topics section with just a link to Star Trek? There's already a link to it in the very first paragraph of the article! —mhr 17:40, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Hmm...I sense some evil here...
Romulan Ale[edit]
Season Seven of DS9 ("Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges") clearly estabishes that the lifting of the embargo against the Romulan government means that Romulan Ale is finally legal in the Federation. This point is established during a conversation between Dr Bashir, Admiral Ross and Senator Cretak. So, since this movie takes place AFTER the Dominion War, previous entries that suggested Romulan Ale was still illegal are incorrect. LaForges remarks to the contrary are one of the many plot holes in this movie.
- Not necessarily. The Romulans were part of an alliance to fight along side the Federation and Klingons against the Dominion. They seem to end the alliance soon after the Dominion War ended. The reason I say this is because in Nemesis, Admiral Janeway orders Captain Picard and crew to Romulus in order to answer the new Romulan Preator's call for peace. Because of this, the alliance obviosly ended after the end of the Dominion War for Shinzon to even play at peace. If the Romulan Star Empire and the Federation had an alliance, and then the Preator calls for peace with the Federation, I believe that this would raise a red flag at the protocol office of the Federation President (if that office exists), not to mention a red flag in both Admiral Janeway and Captain Picard. This means that, with the alliance between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire ended at the conclusion of the Dominion War, the embargo would have been re-established. Admiral Ross said that the embargo against Romulan Ale was lifted because of the alliance. Since the alliance is no more, the embargo was re-established. Therefore, Geordi's statment in Nemesis is correct. Mainphramephreak 09:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Um, Anal Journey?[edit]
Can anyone else confirm the trailer's kerning problem and it looking like it says "A generation's anal journey begins"? I Googled the line and found nothing but Wikipedia and Wiki-derived sites.
- I could find two independent Usenet posts observing this: [2] and [3]. I'll grant you that that's not much in the way of references, and the fact isn't that important... though it's funny as all hell. :-) 220.127.116.11 16:12, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
Endorsing Google?[edit]
why do people use Google all the time[?] Wikipedia should not be endorsing one search engine I found more results on yahoo Dudtz 8/25/05 2:09 PM EST
Also, can anyone confirm something happening to Worf that would make him change his mind about becoming Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire (Or was it Vice-Versa?) as was suggested at the end of Deep Space 9? If this is true, what was he doing on the Enterprise?
In a cut scene from the movie, Worf said that he decided that he did not want to continue being an ambassador. In the book Articles of the Federation, his son Alexander becomes the Federation Ambassador to Qo'noS Willie 08:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
The Argo had WHEELS??[edit]
The year "was" 2379. Wouldn't we expect land vehicles to hover a few feet of the ground by then (like the Hoverboard of 2015)? --Shultz 23:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- I liked the hovercraft chase in Serenity (film) better.. =P DrWho42 01:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
So what if the year was 2379? If you were to ask somone from the 1950's what cars would be like in the year 2006, they would have said they could fly or, at least, hovered. Since I don't see any hovercars zooming by outside my window, I think it is safe to assume that rubber tires are still the more practical means of off-road ground travel.
- In TNG's "All Good Things..." when they show the Cambridge scene you can see a hover car speeding past. Also, I somewhat recall an early Voyager reference that talks about hover cars. My feeling on the Argo is that its a stylistic response to Voyager's return home and Starfleet's reaction to the design of the Delta flyer, probably spurning a whole slew of "Retro" Starfleet designs. I think in the more symbolic meaning however, the Argo scene represents a kind of "middle age crisis" for Picard, in that he's getting up there in the years, and takes a moment to relive his school boy antics just before seeing Shinzon and realizing just where that type of lifestyle may have lead him. Arkcana 00:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- In TNG's "All Good Things..."
- Well if you can't trust a storyline about a possible future that didn't happen.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Foot surgery[edit]
Is it true that during the commentary when Stuart Baird was informed the lukewarm box-office of Star Trek: Nemesis he went outside to kick a dumpster and had to get foot surgery thereafter? DrWho42 01:35, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Enterprise Image[edit]
The image of the E is from First Contact. Hopefully, someone with the Nemesis DVD can find a more appropriate image for this article. 184.108.40.206 10:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
A complaint about Nemesis.[edit]
There's one thing I didn't like about Nemesis that I don't see here. Nemesis did a horrible job on props and sets. Whereas the various series and the other movies looked like they were from the remote future (valid exception: DS9's station scenes), Nemesis looked like it was filmed with studio-built poor knock offs of expensive but already available gadgets. This wasn't a problem with technology catching up to TNG, but rather with them deciding to use technology that wasn't up to that level. I think the lighting in the movie also lowered its visual appeal, albeit to a lesser extent. --Steven Fisher 15:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, during the scene when the crew is riding in the rover picking up the pieces of B-4, the goggles they are wearing are identical to some that I bought from a tool shop for work. --220.127.116.11 04:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmmmmm...the whole thing rather reminded me of Wrath of Khan plotwise. TTFNChunner (talk) 20:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Burton/Sirtis video clip[edit]
I noticed that YouTube has removed this clip due to TOU. I've seen this clip many times but it does need to be properly sited. If anyone has a good link please edit.
- Not that it matters a whole lot because there's still no link to the clip, but I undid a recent change that attributed the "That's because it sucked" quote to Marina Sirtis, not LeVar Burton as it was originally posted. Burton did, in fact, make that statement, although after the laughter died down, Sirtis did say, "It didn't suck as much as Insurrection."
- Good grief, this article has been hacked to pieces. Although, I do agree that the reference to the Burton/Sirtis clip had to come out. for now. I'm sure many of us have seen the clip (I saw it about a year ago), but a broken YouTube link wasn't exactly a quality citation. Still, if it turns up, I think reading such candid observations from two cast members warrants a spot in the article.126.96.36.199 05:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Of course stuff gets back online again and again. Makes it difficult to link to though, but for anyone interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R8WGTSW_OU (Timestamp: 2:23) --22.214.171.124 (talk) 11:17, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Is Data organic?[edit]
In the movie, Dr. Crusher says that if the Enterprise is hit with the Thalaron beam, that everyone on board will be killed because of the radiation's ability to consume organic matter. When she said this, was she ignoring the fact that Data is not organic and would indeed survive the radiation. We see proof that Data is inorganic in First Contact when Data punctures the warp coolant tank releasing the coolant; as was mentioned earlier in the movie, the coolant also "liquifies" organic material, seeing as Data was not "liquified" when he is surrounded by the coolant, his status as an inorganic being is proved. So again, did Doctor Crusher just neglect to say anything about Data and focus simply on the rest of the organic crew, or was this a mistake on the part of the writers? Rajrajmarley 00:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I think she just couldn't be bothered to mention it. It's pretty obvious. He's not organic. Vegfarandi 15:32, 22 june 2007 (UTC)
- Data is not organic, and there is no error either. She simply means that practically everybody will die. Were she to say that everyone would die "except Data," that would sound pedantically absurd, possibly even comical. In other words, it is so obvious that it goes without saying.--184.108.40.206 10:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
I put up NPOV, but I also took out the Patrick Stewart interview link because....[edit]
...a message came up saying my edit was blocked because it was Blacklist Spam. I don't know what this meant but you can put the link back if I shouldn't have. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Occono (talk • contribs) 14:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC).
I'm removing the NPOV tag as this doesn't seem like a valid reason. Apologies in advance if I'm missing something here but it seems to me to be slim reasoning.--Lepeu1999 20:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry if I was unclear, the blacklist spam thing happened the first time I tried to save the page, so I took out the link it said was spam, and thought I sould mention it here. I put up the NPOV because the article feels a little bit POV to me, but you've better judgement then me.--Occono 15:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm far from an expert - but it doesn't feel too POV to me. It is positive in tone. I've added fact cites to many of the statements as well as the stuff that purports to 'interpret' the movie. If they can be sourced:great, if not they need to go based on WP:Orig Research. Either way I suspect that will take care of NPOV issues. If you disagree, by all means put the tag back on, I'd just ask that you detail what you find NPOV so that the editors that have been working on this can address & correct.--Lepeu1999 14:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Merge Scimitar here[edit]
The Scimitar (Star Trek) article is mostly trivia (e.g. stats) and plot summary. No real-world significance that's articulated in that article or that I've seen anywhere else (although, granted, I'm not looking all that much). Would it make sense to merge/redirect it here? --EEMeltonIV 12:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Definately not - the Scimitar page is all about the physical ship, whereas the Nemesis article is about the whole movie. Sure, part of the plot is the same, but is it really important to know that in Nemesis the romulan ship had 27 torpedo tubes? I think it fails that test, and thus is best presented on a seperate page. 22.214.171.124 00:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- ...but it isn't important on Wikipedia to know that trivia about the Romulan ship at all. See WP:WAF and WP:FICT. The ship has no real-world notability; worthwhile non-plot content should be integrated elsewhere. --EEMeltonIV 01:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with 126.96.36.199, it should remain a seperate article. I think scimitar just needs some expanding. EvilHom3r 13:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- It needs intergrating - it's just another NN spaceship - it's only purpose in the film is to go BOOM BOOM. --Fredrick day 12:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- I concur with integration. I don't see the value in multple entries for particular fictional vehicles in movies. Particularly a single appearance ship, unlike the various incarnations of the Enterprise Gearyster 19:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Worf and Riker[edit]
I seem to recall reading somewhere that in an early draft it had been suggested that Worf would be takeing over the second in command of the Enteprise when Riker took command of the titan. Any one else hear of this or can provide proof? FLJuJitsu 28 Aug 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by FLJuJitsu (talk • contribs) 03:32, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
Erroneous reference to DVD non-content[edit]
In early 2007 an "extended ending" clip appeared on YouTube. This clip featured two scenes not included in the DVD. The first was Picard talking to Dr. Crusher about her return to Starfleet Medical and Crusher remarking how she works with a bunch of young doctors who are ready to cure the entire quadrant. The second was Geordi and Worf packing Data's possessions in his quarters. As they are cleaning up Data's cat Spot jumps into Worf's hands and Worf states he is not a cat person. Geordi sees how Spot has taken to Worf and replies, "You are now." Immediately following this scene is the introduction of Commander Madden, which is included in the deleted scenes of the DVD. This clip can no longer be found on YouTube, as it was taken down in spring 2007.
Both the scene with Dr. Crusher and the scene with Worf and Spot are indeed on the DVD. I just watched them.
I could have sworn that Admiral Janeway said "How'd you like a trip to Romulus?" and not Remus. PlayItBogart 01:30, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
No colon in this movie's title![edit]
Please note that the official title of this film is Star Trek Nemesis, *not* Star Trek: Nemesis. Please stop "fixing" this.

--Roger McCoy/រ៉ាចើ (talk) 02:38, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think you will find that none of the movie posters for the Trek films contain colons in their titles, but this does not mean that a colon cannot be inserted for encyclopedic purposes. This is a grammatical rule as the title of the franchise is simply used as a prefix. It isn't necessary to use a colon on the film posters because the specific title of the film is usually in a different size or style of font AND on a different line, therefore grammatical rules do not apply. Furthermore, your web sources are not official and are therefore not valid.126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Furthermore, none of the TV series officially have colons in their titles either, but it is appropriate to use one when writing about the series, which is why you will find one on each of their relevant Wiki pages. The same is true of all of the Star Wars films, but colons are used for grammatical purposes on Wikipedia.Kookoo Star (talk) 03:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- I suspect that Roger McCoy was referring to the credits list on the poster, DVD and soundtrack when he cited them as sources, not the logo. Those, as well as the other sources provided (and the official source I included in an edit summary yesterday [4]), indicate that there isn't a colon in the title of the film. RobWill80 (talk) 23:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- I must agree with Kookoo Star here. At least some of the other Star Trek titles did not have colons in their titles (on screen, the posters, etc), but are listed as such in their WP articles. The same is true with the Star Wars films. WP has many articles that are not titled with the "official" name. For example "Liberty Enlightening the World" is a redirect to "Statue of Liberty".
- Given the custom of abbreviating Star Trek titles (ST:TOS, ST:TNG, ST:DS9, ST:V, ST:E, ST:TMP, ST:TWOK, ST:TSFS, ST:TVH, ST:TFF, ST:TUC, ST:G, ST:FC, ST:I .....is the final film now abbreviated as STN instead of ST:N? I think this is an extremely big quibble over a minor technicality. I would suggest that asking for a WP:Third opinion if this is still a sticking point in editing, which given that this article has seen two back and forth moves over the past few days, it might. LonelyBeacon (talk) 01:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- I would also like to add that the original poster of this section (Roger) stated that there was indeed a colon used on the Special Edition double disc DVD cover of Nemesis but that it was done in error. There is absolutely no evidence this was an error - it is only his opinion - and Paramount may well have included the colon on the double disc set in order to CORRECT an error. Like it or not, the double disc DVD is an official product and is more up to date than any of the other sources given, which suggests that a colon should be used in this title. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 04:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- Good grief. I really couldn't imagine why a colon would matter so much. But if we must continue this... With regards to the Special Edition DVD's packaging, you have presented nothing more or less than what Roger McCoy did - an opinion. I provided an official source that noted the lack of a colon in the title. That alone suggests that it may have been added to the cover in error, as opposed to a theory that the powers that be demanded its inclusion. My own opinion is that it was added to the cover by accident, and something so small wouldn't have been worthwhile to correct. And to keep things up to date, I'll point out that the UK version of the same DVD, an official product released just over 2 months later than the US version, doesn't have a colon in the title. RobWill80 (talk) 06:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- If it's such a minor issue then why are you so determined to revert edits that include it I wonder? Personally, I dont think it matters a great deal for the title of the article page because if people insert a colon whilst searching it will redirect them anyway. However, the sentence in the introductory paragraph that specifically states that the title should not have a colon in it should be removed since we have seen it on official product both with and without - and therefore nobody can claim it as a statement of fact. And the official source that you provided simply mentioned the lack of a colon, it didn't specifically state that's the way the title should have always been written.220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- I reverted those edits for the sake of accuracy - it is the film's title. It wouldn't bother me if that introductory sentence was removed, but I reverted the last attempt to do so because I examined and reverted all of those edits in one go. And by the way, why would that source at startrek.com need to say that "This is the way the title should always be written"? I'd think that would be a little extreme. For instance, I don't think Paramount wagged their collective fingers at people who called it "Star Trek 10". RobWill80 (talk) 00:50, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- In response to almost every response supporting the colon: When did Wikipedia get in the business of listing titles with the punctuation that we believe they should have rather than the punctuation actually used by the people who named the film? If that's the case, I'm going to head over to Two Weeks Notice and add that missing apostrophe. I agree that Star Trek: Nemesis makes more sense as a title for the movie than Star Trek Nemesis; nonetheless, the name is what it is. Can anyone note any official sources that include the colon, or is this purely about opinion?
- From the TrekNation article above: "August 30 marked another important milestone in the Trek X saga - 'Star Trek: Nemesis' officially lost the colon to become 'Star Trek Nemesis.'" That article references a now-defunct page on startrek.com, but here it is via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20021225020635/http://www.startrek.com/news/news.asp?ID=125494. That article states: "The publicity campaign for "Star Trek Nemesis" (note the now colon-less title) is in full swing again and today marks the debut of a new movie image — the Romulan Warbird Valdore."
- Incidentally—and I realize this isn't necessarily strong evidence—Memory Alpha correctly lists both Generations and Nemesis without colons. (And if you're wondering, I was not involved in the Memory Alpha discussions/decision.) --Roger McCoy/រ៉ាចើ (talk) 16:00, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Please also note that no colon is used on the wikipedia page for Star Trek Into Darkness. For the sake of consistency therefore, the colon needs to be removed. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 10:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- I've always felt the the films and series should be listed here as they are on the StarTrek.com website. That is the official website of the franchise run by Paramount. If you go to that site's Database section (http://www.startrek.com/database_article_navigator) and click on 'Sort by Appearance' the list of the official names of all the series and films appears. Nemesis nor any of the Next Gen films have colons in their titles. SonOfThornhill (talk) 13:43, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Horribly-written plot section[edit]
The entire plot section reads like it was written by a 14 year old and needs a major overhaul. Also it is full of glaring inaccuracies - i.e. the Enterprise was dispatched by Admiral Janeway to Romulus, not Remus. If no one chooses to redo it then I am in favour of killing the entire section and replacing it with a concise, 1-paragraph summary. Scott 110 (talk) 02:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Done! Check it out, and see if this is better. I agree that there were still some inaccuracies. Someone was trying to fit in every detail, and it made the wording unnecessarily cumbersome. LonelyBeacon (talk) 02:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Couple of Perhaps Interesting Questions[edit]
Just saw Nemesis last night for the first time. Loved it more than Wrath of Kahn. Saw it only once so my comment related to the Wikipedia article is in the form of questions. I'm not an expert on the movie yet.
1. Why didn't Data just go to the control station and turn the weapon off?
2. Did Picard order personel to evacuate forward compartments before ramming?

"original extended ending"[edit]
I removed the following content from the article, as it lacks citations and appears doubtful. If this information is actually correct, please re-add it to the article, making appropriate citations from reliable sources. Thanks Vectro (talk) 02:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- Original extended ending - A new First Officer (Commander Martin Madden) is introduced on board the Enterprise and two funny moments are shown afterward. Riker tells Madden to call Captain Picard "Jean-Luc". Later in a conversation with Picard, he does so and Picard gives the commander a withering stare, with Madden realizing that Riker was pulling his leg. This scene is where the Enterprise finally gets seat belts. At the end, Picard tells the crew that their next assignment is to survey a planet, which Picard thinks the crew will find "interesting", noting it is a place "where no one has gone before". In actuality, the planet, Deneb IV was the first planet visited by the crew of the Next Generation Enterprise in the first episode, "Encounter At Farpoint" and Picard apparently knows this as he makes eye contact with the original crew, La Forge and Worf, and smiles at each.
The article states that this is the first Star Trek movie to be rated PG-13, which is incorrect as Star Trek First Contact (1996) was the first Trek movie rated PG-13.Doctorbenjiphd (talk) 07:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Alternate Ending "unneeded"?[edit]
I dispute the fact that the information is "unneeded". One could argue that the entire Wikipedia Project is "uneeded", as the world would continue to spin around the Sun and our lives would not end. However, if the porpose of the Project is to chronicle information on notable topics, then there is no reason not to include this information. It was filmed, it was included on a DVD release, and it is relevant to the article. Please come up with something other than "uneeded" if you want to delete it. Rapier1 (talk) 19:59, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- I meant that it's not relevant to the plot in the slightest. Wow. A new first officer. One who we see for all of a minute. He's an extra. If it was important to a reader's understanding of the story, then yes, keep it without a doubt. However, it isn't. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 20:02, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Whether or not it's important to the reader's understand of the story is irrelevant. The fact that it exists is. The ending itself by definition modifies the story slightly, as we see further interaction between the characters. Rapier1 (talk) 20:15, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Just because something exists doesn't mean it's notable. Left 4 Head, a "fan"-made Left 4 Dead porn movie, exists. Doesn't mean it's going onto the article. Countless Easter Eggs exist in virtually every movie or game, as do dozens of deleted scenes. Those aren't notable (barring the odd exception). We see further interaction between Data and Picard over a glass of Chateau Picard in another deleted scene. That's not notable (though, personally, I think it's more relevant to the plot than "Oh, wow, a new chair! ^.^"). Deleted scenes don't indicate notability. However, I doubt this will convince you, so we wait for consensus between other users. Until then, I'll revert the section, though if consensus goes against me, I'm more than happy to accept that. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 20:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- A fan produced film has no bearing on this discussion and is not even a useful straw-man. A studio-produced alternate ending starring all primary actors in a long-running franchise, however, is a notable addition. I will accept the consensus, but as the original poster I feel that the section should stay visable on the article while a consensus is reached. Please do not remove it (WP:3RR). Rapier1 (talk) 21:13, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, in my experience, when asking for consensus, the page is reverted to whatever it was before the disputed material was added. This will be the last time I revert though, to avoid triggering an edit war. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 21:42, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Request for comment[edit]
There is a disagreement over a minor addition to this page concerning the inclusion of information regarding an alternate ending. My position is that it is germain to the article, User:thejadefalcon believes it is not necessary for the reader to understand the plot. Both of us are willing to abide by a consensus, so I'd like some discussion of the issue. Thanks! Rapier1 (talk) 22:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- See the above section for the discussion. This is the section of the article in question. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 22:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Jade! Rapier1 (talk) 22:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think it deserves a mention somewhere. I know it can be reliably sourced, so referencing is not an issue. I am not 100% sure if it necessarily should be in the "plot" section (it was not a part of the theatrical film), but I don't see a problem with it being mentioned in the article. LonelyBeacon (talk) 00:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Jade! Rapier1 (talk) 22:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- I personally think it is unnecessary. Movie plots generally concern themselves with the theatrical release, and this is purely a DVD extra. If we're going to add this, we might as well list every deleted scene, because let's face it - it isn't really what I would define as an alternate ending, in so much as it doesn't change where the film ends up in terms of plot, it's just a scene that was removed that would have been at the end of the movie. ῤerspeκὖlὖm in ænigmate ( talk ) 00:29, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Just noticed that in the 'Production' section all the deleted scenes are listed. Move it there. ῤerspeκὖlὖm in ænigmate ( talk ) 00:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Agree with putting it in "Production" but the section needs to be reworked to flow as prose. MOS:FILM#Home media says, "If supported by filmmaker or third-party analysis, descriptions of deleted scenes included with the release should be placed in the "Production" section; the reason for the footage's removal is the relevant element, not the medium." So if we are to mention this scene, we need to substantiate it with context. Erik (talk) 16:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Just noticed that in the 'Production' section all the deleted scenes are listed. Move it there. ῤerspeκὖlὖm in ænigmate ( talk ) 00:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Preparation for GAC[edit]
I am thinking about making this a Good Article. There are a few things we still need to work on;
- Lead section: needs to be expanded to three or four paragraphs.
- Production section: needs to be expanded and split into subsections (i.e. Development, Design, Writing, Effects, Props and models, Costumes and Makeup, Music)
- Reception: needs to be expanded with critical reviews and box office results.
All are welcome to assist in this process. Any other suggestions will also be appreciated. Thanks, Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 02:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

World Mission Sunday
Every parish in the world will celebrate World Mission Sunday on 19 October as a sign of the Church's global solidarity in mission. The APF which co-ordinates World Mission Sunday is urging all Catholics in England and Wales to take part in this special day of prayer and generosity.
Across the world and especially in the rapidly-expanding Church in Africa and Asia, young churches, which often face extreme difficulties, urgently need support. Many mission dioceses would be forced to close without help from the Association for the Propagation of the Faith (APF), the ONLY Church organisation that supports the growth and development of ALL of the 1,075 Mission dioceses worldwide.
In England and Wales, the collection on World Mission Sunday helps to support 194,855 schools, 5,246 hospitals, 17,530 dispensaries, 577 leprosy centres and 80,560 social and pastoral projects.
The World Mission Sunday theme for 2008 is 'Help others to see Jesus'.
In places such as Zimbabwe, people search for God in the midst of great hardship.
Bishop Schölz of Chinhoyi in Zimbabwe, wrote to the APF London headquarters saying: "Droughts and famine are regular occurrences and our children grow up with an overwhelming experience of hunger... Life on the border has, for most people, been a precarious existence on the border of life. The hardships and suffering have had a profound impact on our faith and pastoral approach... for several years...the people had to nourish their faith from their own spiritual resources."
"During the conflict, Regina Kagura walked 80 miles once a month from her village to Mount Darwin through very dangerous territory to attend Mass and have a word with the priest. Thus strengthened she returned to her village where she was the pillar of faith for her community. She sustained her people for three years. She has died but her faith lives on and continues to inspire younger Catholics. One of our catechists was martyred; one of our priests is still in hiding."
"In rural communities throughout Africa, in the absence of a priest, the life of the Church continues under the direction of a catechist and the Small Christian Communities. There might actually be more than one priest in a parish, but there can be as many as 50 or 60 sub-parishes, with the possibility of Mass only once or twice in the course of a single year. The parish catechist and the Small Christian Community (SCC) is absolutely vital for the daily life of the Church in such parishes.
"In choosing Small Christian Communities as our preferred pastoral method, we are building on the faith of these women and men, on their suffering and on the sacrifice of their lives. The subsidy we have received from England and Wales in 2007 will help us train a new generation of lay leaders and sustain them in our present dire situation. Thank you. We are deeply grateful for the support of our brothers and sisters."

The Model 15 from Sergey Rogovets is truly a work of art. It's hard to know where to start with this one as it has so many outstanding features. The best place to start might be with the thick titanium frame that has been milled to give it a riveted steel plate appearance. The bronze anodizing has been worn slightly away and a second anodizing gives the frame added depth with the grooves alternating from blue to purple depending on the viewing angle. The lock bar has been cut out of the lower frame and has an attached D2 steel lock face and a ceramic detent ball. A matching milled titanium pocket clip lines up with the steel plate pattern and visually disappears into the frame. Moving on to the XHP wharncliffe blade, a brass lined insert has been added to the flat ground perfectly straight edge wharncliffe blade and given a hand rubbed satin finish. An engine turned pivot screw secures the dual caged ball bearings which provides effortless deployment of the blade. Extra attention was paid to centering of the blade and delivering a smooth action. Brass standoffs and titanium hardware complete the knife. This Model 15 is inscribed on the inside of the frame with Sergey's signature, date and serial number 1554. Also included is a signed and serialized Pelican 1120 waterproof case. Brand new direct from maker Sergey Rogovets.
About CTS-XHP: An alloy steel made by Carpenter, CTS-XHP was developed as a corrosion resistant D2 alternative. Our research shows users estimating edge retention slightly ahead of S30V, and toughness comparable to D2. This makes CTS-XHP a premium steel, which should hold a great edge and be reasonably corrosion resistant.

It was Wednesday evening…a cold breeze welcome us as we stepped our foots outside Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport after a long trip to get there – we are finally in Thailand.
We didn't get to our hotel The Holiday Inn Bangkok at Ploen Chit road until around 10 pm.
Holiday Inn Bangkok Review
As soon as our cab pulled over by the lobby, two doormen quickly came out to help. One of them almost squealed when they saw Lil' A stepping out. "Hey, I know you, boy!" – he said.
Confused, I smiled and asked Lil' A to said hello.
They ushered us inside the lobby and boom…right there, on one of their walls is my winning shot! Displayed on an LCD-like screen panel. WOW! It feels almost surreal.
Instead of checking in by their receptionist desk, we were directed to their Guest Relation Desk. I sat down, the lady who introduced herself as the Duty Manager asked for our passports and I handed them our gift voucher.
Someone came with two very pretty Thai style flower bouquet on a tray…they had been expecting us and we caused quite a scene I tell ya!
The Duty Manager told me that they had upgraded our room to a Suite, instead of two rooms as mentioned on my gift voucher. Can I get a triple WOW?! Yeah, it was such a shockingly sweet surprise. All these were recorded by their photographer who happily took our pictures.
Not only that, once checking in was done they wanted me and family to take pictures by the LCD screen with some of their staffs. Oh.my.God! I was tired, been up since 4 am, had a long journey, no make-ups on, hair pulled up. Wish we can do a do-over for that photo ops!
Ms. K the manager lead us to our Suite on the 7th floor. It was a really beautiful room, big and spacious. Two bedrooms, one living room, two large bathrooms. Lil' A was in heaven – well make that all four of us were.
The surprises don't stop there…in the elevator again, I saw my picture being put on a display.
Then when we entered the room, we saw postcards made out of the winning picture. It was on the beds…they gave us a handwritten welcome card from the Duty Manager, there were fresh fruit platters. It's just so beautiful. I absolutely love the little elephants stuffed animals they placed in our Suite as souvenirs.
Let's say that we all went to bed really really happy that night…
Honestly…that was so surreal I had to step back and savor that moment. Hard to believe that MY picture…my winning picture is being spread all over their hotel…the Suite…the royalty treatments. It was unbelievable!
Their hospitality is genuine not only to us but to everyone. All of their staffs recognized Lil' A and my brother who are both in the picture and they gave us such a warm welcome.
The hotel is not too big but to me they are perfect in size where you won't get swallow by a huge cold lobby. All staffs are super helpful and more than willing to chit chat with us, asking how we like our stays in Bangkok down to write down the names of places we want to see so that way we could just hand it out to taxi drivers.
One of their brilliant way to help their guests is the hotel's name card along with a small map, written in both English and Thai. Now that can save you a lot of hassles trying to find your way back to the hotel.
My favorite room of the Suite? The bathroom! Spacious…cozy, warm and perfect for a couple. It has sexy blinds which, unfortunately, doesn't work for me but Lil' A got a kick out of playing peek-a-boo every time Mommy went in the bathroom.
The little-stuffed elephants made out of Thai silk were spread in the beds and tables and made a memorable souvenir of our stays at the Holiday Inn Bangkok. The pillows…aaah I can't get enough of their "Pillow Menus". They offer 13 kinds of different pillows that you can choose to your desire. Very neat I should say!
Holiday Inn Ploenchit is located in the heart of the city of Bangkok. Just a stone throw away is the BTS (Bangkok Transit System) which pretty much is a sky train. Traffic in Bangkok can be pretty bad much like Jakarta. But to have this option is very convenient and will save you travel time to go places. Personally, to me this added more values to the Holiday Inn Bangkok.
Thank you Holiday Inn Bangkok for treating all of us so well and give us a truly memorable 3 days holiday.

[…] Maureen @Scoops of Joy of Indonesia writes: I love this question! The best would be when I won a photo contest (my first ever photo contest) held by a pretty big hotel chain and they sent my son, and I, along with my two brothers to Bangkok for free. The picture that won second place of the contest was being displayed at their hotel and we were treated like VIPs. Our rooms got upgraded to their suite and everyone was super friendly. We had the best vacation ever. […]

About the Co-founders
Experience and Education
(Audit Graduate at Big 4 Accounting Firm)
A young employee – I'm currently working as an Audit Graduate at a Big 4 Accounting Firm. As an auditor it's my role to ensure that company's financial reports are free from material error so that people can place reliance on these reports.
In this role I have developed broad business knowledge due to exposure to a variety of international and ASX listed companies. On a daily basis I analyse business and financial information which requires solving complex problems, decision making and meticulous attention to detail. My role is highly client focused and involves building strong client relationships, resilience and adaptability.
I have a lot of experience in internship positions and casual jobs gained throughout university and high school.
Whilst studying at university I completed three internships:
- Economic advice at a government organisation
- Management accounting at an automotive company
- Financial reporting at a big 4 Australian retail bank
During university I also worked in accounting administration at a fast food company and a construction company. I had many jobs throughout high school including a fast food team member, a children's birthday party leader and a receptionist.
Bachelor of Commerce graduate from The University of New South Wales with majors in Accounting and Economics.
Currently studying to be a Chartered Accountant.
My Skills
Interest and motivation
From a young age I was attracted to getting a job to gain independence and learn new skills. Even before I had started university I was already concerned about the possibility of being unemployed as a graduate.
From this moment I was driven towards pursuing every opportunity to improve my employment prospects and it was this determination that lead me to overcome setbacks and receive multiple graduate employment offers.
I'm driven, focused, logical, detail oriented and I enjoy continuously learning and sharing what I've learnt with others. I am passionate about this website because I want to share the knowledge I've gained throughout my journey and create a community of like-minded young employees to support each other.
Experience and Education
(Recruitment Consultant at leading Agency)
A young employee – I'm currently working as a Recruitment Consultant at one of the world's leading recruitment agencies. I am highly experienced in all aspects of the recruitment process. A typical day in my job involves screening a high volume of candidates through techniques such as resume screening, phone interviews, face to face interviews, online testing, skill verification checklists, and reference checks. I do this with the intent of matching companies' unique requirements with suitable candidates.
Whilst studying at University I worked part time as a manager at a leading fast food franchise. In my final semester of University I undertook a Human Resource Management Internship – working at a global document technology company. In this role I was exposed to several core functions of HR including Recruitment, Training and Development, and HR administrative duties.
Graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Commerce - majoring in Human Resources Management
My Skills
Interest and motivation
For a long time I've had a passion for recruitment and HR. Every day in my current role I see firsthand how crucial the functions of recruitment and HR are to the ongoing success of an organisation. I get great satisfaction out of contributing to the success of individuals and organisations alike.
I'm relationship-orient, resilient, collaborative and enjoy helping and mentoring others. I co-founded this website because I remember how hard it can be to start out. I would like to be able to help the next generation of young employees by guiding them through the process.

He preferred instead to train himself, quickly learning how to paint, sculpt, record videos, design environments and make music outside the confines of organized education. Henning has exhibited widely throughout Europe and his work is included in several prominent museum and private collections, though he is not well known in the United States. Today he lives and works in Manker, Germany. Much of Anton Henning's work can be read as a contemporary interpretation of gesamtkunstwerk, or synthesis of the various disciplines into a single dialogue. Though primarily a painter, Henning also incorporates sculpture and installation into his work.

Fiber One has created a very appealing 150 calorie treat for snacking. The 'cookie' is made from 12 grams of whole grain. The strawberry jam is on the top of the cookie and there is a crumbled cookie on top with nuts or something similar included. Did not like the nuts, which oddly are not addressed in the contents list but are clearly shown on the picture, so I picked them off. Everything else was very tasty beyond that.bThis is perfect for coffee breaks and it is all in a 1.42 ounce/ 40 gram, 2 inch square bar. Highly Recommended. Four and a half FRUITFUL Stars! (Fiber One Strawberry Streusel Bar, package of 12, at a great price.)
I'm usually a big fan of the FiberOne dessert bars, and while these were flavorful, they were too much. A little too messy for my liking and the filling too sweet. Gave me an instant stomach ache. However, if you're looking for a good alternative to having dessert, these are great. I couldn't believe they were so low in calories for the flavor.
These fiber one streusel bars are great! Strawberry is one of my favorite flavors in this bar. I also enjoy the blueberry streusel bar. They are perfect on the go snacks. I purchase mine at HEB. Usually, my HEB has a coupon attached to these bars so I save a bit of money. These snacks are not too light and not too heavy. Just right.
I bought Fiber One Streusel Bar Strawberry for my daughter who really loves junk food. The "fiber" in these bars is what sold me. If you eat one of these, it satisfies your hunger for a couple of hours. They are very tasty -- they pass my pick daughter's taste test. These are great to keep in your purse for long days out and about!
These bars are delicious. I originally bought them for myself as a treat however the kids and husband ate them all. not too sweet full on yummy flavor. The price is great and the best part of all is they are healthy. You can have these even while watching your calories. Grab a box or two you wont be disapointed.
Fiber one offers fancy, delicious treats at a low cal price. I really like the streusel options as well as the chocolate chip granola bar with chocolate on top, holy cow its good! I like that these are lower calorie. I will say though if you don't have a lot of self- control, don't buy it. I can eat a whole box.
Here is a great product for that sweet tooth who is watching calories. Lots of protein is a plus and delicious at the same time. I find this to be my favorite cause it's soft and sweet not like the hard crunchy ones. At a great price, can always find a good sale on these at many stores like Walmart, Food Lion.
I love these for a quick snack. They are absolutely delicious, and you don't even realize you are adding in some extra fiber into your diet. Fiber is very important to me, but I don't like to give up my taste. I would suggest you buy this next time you are at the grocery store
i love these they taste good and they are good for you how does it get better than that. i eat them and give them to my kids for snack time once a day and they do a great job at keeping everyone regular. i thought fiber would taste bad, but it doesnt not since fiber one!
Fiber One Streusel Bar Strawberry is a quick break-
fast treat or just a treat. They're even great for when
you're on the go! And they're very healthy for you. It
met my expectations and more. It tasted better than I
thought it would. I would recommend this to others.

Picture: James Morrison 2007 T in The Park Music Festival - Day 2 Perth and Kinross, Scotland - 07.07.07
British singer/songwriter James Morrison fell for the charms of Grammy winner Joss Stone at last night's (14FEB07) Brit Awards, after persuading his girlfriend not to accompany him to the London ceremony.
The UNDISCOVERED hitmaker, who was the surprise recipient of Best British Male Solo Artist, is reported to have asked his girlfriend JILL not to go with him to the Valentine's Day event, opting to take his mother GAIL instead.
However, after neglecting his long-term love last night (14FEB07), Morrison spent much of his time backstage chatting to the 22-year-old Family Affair star and lavishing compliments on her.
He gushed, "There's women and there's Joss Stone. If I wasn't attached I would definitely be after her. She's gorgeous, isn't she?
"If I had to pick one other artist that I would love to go out with, it's her."

Shelby songwriter and musician David Lee, the subject of a new compilation album, was featured in a recent article in The Charlotte Observer.
Lee was also a record producer in the 1960s and the owner of a record shop in one of Shelby's African-American neighborhoods.
Known more regionally than nationally, Lee hit the big time once in 1972 with a song he wrote and produced, You're Letting Me Down sung by soul singer Ann Sexton. The record sold 90,000 records nationwide.
Brendan Greaves, director of public art and community design with the North Carolina Arts Council and Jason Perlmutter, a researcher on the Arts Council's African-American Music Trail have compiled an anthology of songs from the record labels Lee operated called Said I Had A Vision: Songs and Labels of David Lee: 1960-1988.
The material is rare, largely unheard Carolinas soul and gospel, Greaves said. He and Perlmutter curated a concert at the Don Gibson Theater on Sunday, Nov. 7, at 4 p.m., as an advance to the Shelby installment of the Smithsonian Museum on Main Street vernacular music exhibition New Harmonies.

Iraqi War officially ends December 15
Dec 17, 2011
The war is officially over, and on December 15 US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta attended the flag-lowering ceremony in Bagdhad.
This is probably the most significant sign that Iraq will soon be restored to full economic sovereignty. They have already been talking about Iraq's sovereignty as if it were a done deal during PM Maliki's visit with President Obama. However, these are just words, not official statements that are signed and sealed legally. Even so, it cannot be too far off now.
Their full economic sovereignty will be seen when they revalue their dinar. It is looking more and more like this will happen at the end of December or the first few days of January. That would be nice.
We finally arrived home this evening from our Texas trip. The grandson is doing great. We observed him for a whole week and find no fault in him.

So…you would like to move your research in new directions and you know it will require identifying new collaborators. Colleagues and mentors are supportive, but the expertise you are seeking falls in unfamiliar territory. You have already tapped into established research networks and still have not found the right fit. To find the right collaborative research partner, you know you need to branch out. But where do you start? This section of the Collaborator's Toolbox introduces several tools that can help you identify collaborators within the Penn State system and beyond.
Penn State Profiles
Profiles can be a powerful tool for identifying potential research collaborators at Penn State. Developed by Harvard University, Profiles is a searchable electronic library of faculty CV's that automatically populates an investigator's profile with publication history from PubMed. Investigators can customize their individual profile to highlight major accomplishments and areas of expertise.
SciVal Funding®
SciVal Funding® is an Elsevier product – a database that provides comprehensive coverage of more than 9,000 funding sponsors, 7 million author profiles, and 5 million award records (from 2004 to date). Using SciVal Funding®, you can review a sponsor's award history and uncover details of investigators who have successfully secured funding from the same sponsor. All Penn State IP addresses have access to SciVal Funding via www.funding.scival.com.
NIH RePORTER
The NIH's Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool (RePORT) is a publicly accessible website that provides a central point of access for reports, data, and analyses of federally-funded research from the NIH and several other federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The RePORT tool includes both active and expired award data from 1991 to the present. In RePORT, users can conduct simple keyword searches or narrow a search by defining various inputs, including institution, department, investigator, funding mechanism, and award size.

Ted Zagat, the entrepreneurial son of Zagat Survey founders Tim and Nina Zagat, breezed into town recently to promote the hit-the-stands-just-before-Super-Bowl 2002 New Orleans edition of the survey. It's the first year that the New Orleans survey has included a section on nightlife, one of Ted's pet causes, adding ratings of 58 bars and clubs to the 540 restaurants covered. Using a system similar to the democratic Zagat formula for rating restaurants, which tallied responses from more than 1,750 participants this year, each nightlife entry was rated for overall appeal, decor, service and estimated drink cost. The House of Blues, Mid-City Lanes Rock 'N' Bowl and the Columns Hotel Bar were voted the Most Popular nightlife spots; the winners for Top Appeal, Decor and Service went to the Windsor Court's Polo Lounge, the Ritz-Carlton's French Quarter Bar and le chat noir; and justice prevailed when the Mermaid Lounge scored highest for Best Buy. Speaking of good buys, Zagat reports that New Orleanians are practically stealing cocktails. Whereas the average cost of a cocktail (meaning beer, wine or a mixed drink) here is $4.99, suckers pay $6.70 in Los Angeles and $6.92 in New York City. As for eats, Commander's Palace, Galatoire's and Bayona are the top three Most Popular restaurants in this year's survey. And check this out: the top five Food Rankings, in order, went to Peristyle, Bayona, Brigtsen's, Lafitte's Landing and Hansen's Sno-Bliz. That's right, the Sno-Bliz beat out Galatoire's, Gabrielle, The Grill Room, La Provence and Commander's Palace (ranked 6 through 10)! I feel like I can retire now. The 2002 Zagat Survey costs $10.95 and can be found just about anyplace where books are sold.
Better Fried
There's a clear division in my memory separating the olive-eaters in my life from the non-olive-eaters. I purposely took one of the latter to Dino's Bar and Grill (1128 Tchoupitoulas St. 558-0900) for the fried olives, so that I could eat them all. Dino's is a newish bar near the I-10 overpass, one block over from the new Sun Ray Grill (1051 Annunciation St., 566-0021), in the space where Trenticosta's recently spent a short few months. They might not have the fixin's for a Sazerac behind the bar, or anything but Abita on tap, but the fried olives are stuffed with cheese and covered in breadcrumbs and testament that this town -- thank you very much -- can get away with frying anything it wants. -- Roahen

Forrest open to Olympics
Celtic starlet James Forrest has reiterated his interest in playing for Team GB in the London 2012 Olympics.
Last Updated: 22/01/12 2:54pm
Celtic starlet James Forrest has reiterated his interest in playing for Team GB in this summer's London 2012 Olympics.
The Scotland winger, along with Hoops team-mates Scott Brown and Adam Matthews, were asked by GB coach Stuart Pearce if they would be open to selection for his final squad.
However, Forrest knows his availability might be decided by Celtic if the games clash with their probable UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
Speaking ahead of Celtic's weekend clash with St Mirren, the talented 20-year-old insists there is plenty of time to decide his involvement.
"It has not been decided to be fair, it will be another couple of months," he said on possible involvement. "But I am still open to the idea.
"It is obviously up to the club as well, it depends on whether they have fixtures in July.
"The club have said that if I want to play in it then they said I can but if we have fixtures then obviously they won't let us go.
"There is still a long way to go until then."

The Unveiled Truth Slumdog Billionaire
New in Ceasefire, The Unveiled Truth - Posted on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 22:00 - 8 Comments
By Shirin Sadeghi
In the old town of Mumbai, festering along the waterway is a place where humans live.
It is one of poor old Asia's poorest and oldest living quarters: the Dharavi slum. Amidst the oozing sludge that perpetually encircles the corrugated tin huts, you can find children, playing. On the hottest days, they wade in the filth, relieving themselves of the heat which rises above 45 Celsius. Everyday, they walk through it to meander through the pathways between their homes.
One million men, women and children live in this squalor – it really is the only word to describe such conditions. They share what little they have with each other. The children, in stark contrast to their exorbitantly wealthy neighbors in nearby Cumballa Hill, grow up to be rather healthy in the mind, having learned social interaction from a young age and having had an abundance of friends and family to grow with.
The wealthy do grow up, as the isolation naturally instills in them, with a distinct inability to interact normally, happily, with others. Amongst the beautiful things in life – a mother's affection, a brother's companionship, and the joys of having playmates – the wealthy suffer great poverty.
And so it is that just beyond the squelching odors of Dharavi, about 6 miles to the south of the city, one can find the new home of Asia's wealthiest man, the 4th richest man in the world, with a personal fortune of $29 billion: Mukesh Ambani. He made the headlines this week when it was announced that his 27-floor, $1 billion house was due to be completed within days.
His wife and 3 kids will finally have enough room to avoid each other completely while still maintaining the semblance of a family. All 27 floors are for just the 5 of them.
What is extraordinary and yet ordinary, considering the habits and temperaments of the obscenely rich, is not merely the sad tale of a man who felt no shame in living in such unnecessary luxury amidst such dire poverty, but the well-known "relationship" Mukesh has with his brother Anil.
By all accounts (and court records), these 2 billionaires despise each other. They have been quarrelling like mice for the last bit of cheese of the vast amount of wealth they inherited from their father, Dhirubhai Ambani, who made his first million dollars when he was in his fifties.
Their disputes have raged into the court system – for these two brothers there is no limit to the accumulation of wealth, nothing will satisfy them, it seems. So they fight over billions while their neighbors in Dharavi fight to stay alive, from one day to the next. The UN estimates that the average Dharavi resident survives on less than a dollar a day.
It is exquisitely fascinating to imagine how the petty cash an Ambani spends in a single day on unnecessary trinkets, elaborate menus, the latest fashions in clothing and home interiors, or whatever else a billionaire fancies on a day-to-day basis, could literally turn the lives around of every single resident of Dharavi.
The people of Dharavi could eat nutritious food every day. Their slum could be cleaned, paved, fitted with water and sanitary plumbing, rebuilt as sturdy homes rather than perilous huts. Later, schools could be constructed too.
True, unbeknownst to many outsiders, Dharavi, with its illegal housing, and illegal businesses pulls in quite a lot of wealth per year (estimates start at $500 million annually) but obviously that money is not going to the people who are left with no choice to live in this slum, with its open sewers and infestation of vermin.
The Ambanis literally have the means to change the world with their wealth. Instead, they squabble over it amongst themselves. They are so far removed from the basic humanity that all people are born with that these two brothers cannot even be satisfied to share their wealth with each other, let alone with others.
It is impossible to understand from the outside. And from the inside, this mentality is not even seen as a problem of human decency. At play here is that deadly sin through which the deepest poverty of the soul becomes most apparent: greed.
As Mark Twain said, "to be satisfied with what one has; that is wealth. As long as one sorely needs a certain additional amount, that man isn't rich." And thus the Ambanis, whose unsatisfied grins seen in newspapers throughout the world grimace for ever more profit, and whose greatest enemies are each other, are anything but rich and certainly not to be idolized as they no doubt wish to be, towering above the suffering people of their land.

Great article with a lot of soul! The reflection of a truly capitalist world! It's funny how the construction of the most expensive house in the world amongst some of the poorest comes at the precise time when the biggest capitalist swept the American mid term elections on the votes of the very people their economic model exploits.
yeah wealth is whack, awesome cartoons!!
great article. the eternal human struggle is between the 'have' and 'have-not's'. that building represents a crime against humanity. he will be condemned throughout human history. thank you for highlighting that for me. also, i liked your drawrings.
Excellent article, and comic!
I found something similar in South Africa – the huge disparity between rich and poor is unbelievable – next door to some of the nicest houses I've ever seen are slums (known as townships) where thousands of people live, many without running water and electricity.
My biggest issue is how so many of the affluent have settled for it as "the way it is," often overlooking the socio-economic conditions of people – not to mention a history of colonial oppression.
Why should those who have take care of everyone else? They pay their taxes and live in a democracy. The masses can vote. There is no reason for a creation of an equal state. Welfare just breeds a state with a complacent population. Judging the ambanis on their family situation is ridiculous, I'm sure many in those slums have family squabbles. Its patronizing to look at poverty striken people as 'noble savages'
I would dispute the claim that there is such a thing as a "basic humanity that all people are born with". Human history is nothing if not full of inhumanity. One would be either blind or wilfully naive to ignore the vast corpus of evidence for humans' wicked nature.
Ok Im really struggling to understand a) the point of this article and b) how you suggest India be helped?. first of all the ambanis are not responsible for the economic development of India. Such vitriolic writing is very populist but ultimately self serving, what are you saying thats useful here? In actual fact Ambanis house cost £44m to build, obviously once its built it has accrued that large value im not even sure why that has anything to do with mumbai's slum apart from being adjacent to it I guess success in India is not something you are really concerned with. In actual fact the Ambanis Reliance rural schools in Maharashtra and Gujarat looks after the education of 15,000 other children. You forgot to mention that? Yes India is poor but mumbai is a booming city attracting people from all over the country, such paradoxes are going to exist.
You say: 'The wealthy do grow up, as the isolation naturally instills in them, with a distinct inability to interact normally, happily, with others.' – So wealthy people are unhappy? Should we all live in Dharavi? Its easy to demonise the wealthy rather than writing an article on development solutions……………………..
Please do more research next time, here is some recommended reading:
The Londoner's comment seems to be a response from the well oiled Ambani PR network that constantly looks for articles that are against the Boss…15,000 students sounds like a big number, but honestly that is peanuts for what the Ambani's can do for India, while they are not bribing and buying of politicians and journalists..Their hospital supposedly started for charity is actually a preserve for the rich! and the poor cannot afford it.
No wonder Bill Gates and Warren Buffet where shocked with the lack of philanthropy in India's rich. Philanthrophy in the end seems to be more of a Western worldview…definitely not one in the Indian sub continent
