Fake Pastor Caught
As shared by Facebook user, Uzochukwu Onuabuchi, the man in the photo above is a fake pastor identified as Pastor Osinachi Christopher, who was caught while trying to plant a pot of charms in a family compound in Anambra state.
Posted by Naijaxtreme
The Facebook user shared that if he were not caught, he'd plant the charm and then come back to remove the charms in the name of liberating the family.
He wrote on Facebook:
Wonders shall never end, this is pastor Osinachi Christopher from Isuochi Abia state. He was caught this evening with a pot of charm, he wanted to bury at someone's compound. which they will later bring out in the name of liberating the family. He even confess that he was working with one Pastor miracle ihuoma. He even confessed that this fake Pastor miracle buried a pot of charm, in front of one shop that belongs to one woman that happens to be a wife to one makosa. The fake Pastor miracle later told the woman, that it was the former Pastor ebubedike that buried the charm.
The fake Pastor just used this trick to chase the former Pastor ebubedike away. Ebubedike that God has been using mightly to do wonders there in Nnobi. Well one thing I know in this life is that nothing is hidden under the sun. God has finally exposed the fake Pastor miracle ihuoma, that has ministry at makosas compound, in ifite Nnobi Anambra state. Hmmm my people beware of fake Pastors. like this fake Pastor osinachi on the photo and Pastor miracle ihuoma. Nawaoooo……

Facebook is not only in the business of flagging fake news, but real news as well.
A recent Infowars report by Paul Joseph Watson details a UN plan from 2001 which games out several scenarios of mass migration into developed nations to "offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates."
Watson's report, entitled "Revealed: UN Plan To Flood America With 600 Million Migrants," has been flagged by Facebook on behalf of Politifact, who is partnered with the social media company to "use both technology and human review to remove fake accounts, promote news literacy and disrupt the financial incentives of spammers."
"Press releases in six different languages accompanied the UN report, countering Infowars' headline claiming that a 'plan' had been 'revealed' just recently," Politifact stated on Wednesday.
So, Politifact and Facebook don't take issue with the actual facts of the report itself, but with Watson saying "revealed" in the headline, claiming that it somehow disqualifies the story as "fake news."
Of course, because the renewed debate on mass immigration has been dominating the national conversation, the relevance of the article speaks for itself.
It's also clear Watson used "revealed" in the headline to literally reveal the obscure UN report from 17 years ago that many had no idea even existed.
UN strategy document from 2001.
Says that "replacement migration" is needed to "offset population decline."
Says up to 600 million migrants needed in U.S. and up to 1.4 billion migrants needed in Europe by 2050.
Absolutely crazy numbers.https://t.co/ZTTSJFzCJB
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) July 24, 2018
The UN report, titled Replacement Migration: Is It a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?, lists six specific scenarios America could face should its population continue to decline.
Under the most extreme scenario, "It would be necessary to have 593 million immigrants from 1995 to 2050, an average of 10.8 million per year."
"By 2050, out of a United States total population of 1.1 billion, 775 million, or 73 per cent, would be post 1995 immigrants or their descendants," it added.
Politifact points to a claim within the report that it's "not meant to be recommendations in any way, but illustrations of hypothetical scenarios."
However, the report's own opening summary directly contradicts that statement:
"The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration."

Swara Bhaskar: Female actors have to fight for what they want
Actor Swara Bhaskar feels that not just money, female actors in Bollywood also need to get roles that are at par with male actors.bollywood Updated: Aug 02, 2017, 08:31 IST
Whether it is nepotism, feminism or sexism, actor Swara Bhaskar has never held back from expressing her views on sensitive subjects. While most actors in Bollywood are acquainted with the prevalence of pay disparity in Bollywood, very few actually muster the courage to come out and talk about it. Swara, however, has been quite vocal in this regard.
Rooting for "equal pay for equal work", Swara says, "I am not saying that if I, being a female actor, work for 10 days, I should expect the pay that an actor gets for 100 days of work. But definitely, if I am working for 100 days, then I am expected to get an equal amount of pay as my male counterpart."
And it's not just the question of money that Swara feels needs to be addressed. The actor, who has worked in films such as Tanu Weds Manu, Raanjhanaa, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Anaarkali of Aarah, asserts that even the roles being offered to female actors need to be at par with men.
Although Swara agrees that things are slowly changing, she adds that there will be more progress only when female actors start being a little more assertive.
In Hollywood, women are taking up this whole question of equality and I think that's fantastic, so why can't Bollywood take its cue from them?
"One thing is for sure that nobody is going to put that on a plate for you. [Female actors] really have to fight for what we want. If you see in Hollywood, women are taking up this whole question of equality and I think that's fantastic, so why can't Bollywood take its cue from them?" says the actor, stating that no movement gains momentum unless people fight for it.
"Nobody gave black people civil rights in the '50s on a platter; they suffered for a very long time. The same thing goes for the dalits too, so it holds true for women in films too," says Swara.
On the work front, Swara will next be seen in Veerey Di Wedding, also starring Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

So – you're thinking of seeing Ireland?
Ireland was largely passed over by the Industrial revolution. One reason given for this is due to the scarcity of coal and iron. Mass emigration occurred from the time of the great famine right through to the 1980's. However during the 90's the economy saw unprecedented growth. In 2005 Ireland was ranked the best place in the world to live according to a "quality of life" survey conducted by the Economist. In 1999 Ireland joined the Euro, which Northern Ireland remained with the pound sterling.
In recent years, Ireland, has been hit hard by the global financial crisis and the unemployment rate has risen to around 12.5%.
This has probably helped the NuNomad's cause as it has helped keep inflation low and prices more stable.

Mells Barn Wedding Somerset
We had James H, from Stylish Entertainment, DJ our wedding a few weekends ago and we couldn't have been happier. It was one of the best decision we made to book him. We had discussed the music we liked but the set on the night was better even than we could have hoped. He read the crowd perfectly, mixing everything from ska punk to DnB to pop. The dance floor was packed all night – we will certainly be booking him again. The communication beforehand with Ali and Nigel at Stylish and James H was great (to talk through the details of what we wanted / the types of music we liked/disliked). On the day, James was there early to set up and was very flexible about shifting timings on the night. He also worked around a sound limiter while mixing live without a single problem on the night. Highly, highly recommended.

Simon & Rachael Mincha, Orchardleigh House, Somerset. 10th February 2018
Denbies Wine Estate, Surrey
We were delighted with how the day went. We had an amazing time and we've had lots of compliments from our guests - both on the day and since then as we've caught up with people.
We were really happy with our choice of dj. Ryan turned up on time, set up without a fuss and got the vibe of what we were looking for spot on. Music was a big deal for us and we spent a lot of time compiling our playlist for the day. We were nervous about the evening as we knew we had to hand over control of the music to someone else! However, we needn't have worried. Ryan seemed to get our taste (and understand our dislikes!) instantly from the pre wedding chat we had with him. His suggestions of other songs we could throw in the mix were great too. The first dance and last song were exactly what we asked for and done smoothly (we've been at weddings where the dj has got the first dance song wrong before!). In many ways he had a tough job as our tastes aren't typical wedding cheese and our guests had had a very long day after a very early start (and we know people were struggling in the evening!) but he still managed to get people dancing whilst sticking to the style of music we requested.
Overall, we were delighted and would happily recommend Stylish Entertainment and Ryan to others.

This blog is part of a series in the spirit of 'Cranleigh Thinking', intended to provoke thought and debate and raise questions. The arguments are born out of observation and experience and I make no apology for holes and gaps for readers to fill and question.
This particular series raises questions about the nature of curriculum, national policy and why Cranleigh has chosen the 'Cranleigh Thinking' approach.
For a fuller context, please refer to the blogs 'Running with a purpose', 'The curriculum beast', 'Getting Back on Track with a Purpose' and 'Unleashing a Beast'
When I was Headmaster at Wellington School, the relative of a recently deceased Old Wellingtonian sent to me a 1922 prospectus that she thought we would like for the archives. What intrigued me most were the aspects of curriculum management which still speak into the issues we face today around relevance and context.
In 1920s Wellington, the school was divided into three streams: the scholars (those whose destination was university), a commerce stream and an agriculture stream. The curriculum naturally varied for the different streams. For example, mathematics did not exist as a standalone one-size-fits-all subject as it does today. The scholars would take courses in arithmetic, algebra, and Euclid; the commerce and agriculture streams would take courses in arithmetic and book-keeping.
Now there are obvious dangers aligned to such a model. As I argued in the blog 'Unleashing a beast', it is possible for a curriculum to be too determined by starting with an end-point rather than a question of purpose. Moreover, setting off on a schooling pathway that restricts opportunities either by ability demonstrated at a particular age or a career is neither egalitarian not sensible in a world where the concept of 'a career', certainly 'a profession' is unstable and uncertain. I will not be alone in knowing many who were denied the opportunity of taking 'O' Levels and had to take CSEs which hampered later progress.
However, there is some sense in a model which plays to people's strengths and motivation: I can hear the voices of countless pupils asking the relevance to their future work of learning how to prove Pythagorus' theorem, just as I hear the voices of big business moaning that employees are insufficiently literate or numerate. Would it not be better for those who are not going to take pathways which require higher level mathematics or literary analysis to become more secure in the skills which they will need on a daily basis – we will not all progress to A levels or degrees in these areas?
I find myself torn between a desire to champion a liberal, egalitarian approach to learning which denies no-one opportunity which resists valuing only what is 'useful' and a pragmatism which knows that people and governments are motivated by what they perceive to need. It also challenges assumptions which suggest that breadth is better than narrowness or whether the latter encourages a depth of specialisation that leads to more expert and perhaps broader thinking.
Again at Wellington, I remember having a long discussion with a stone mason who was replacing some of the decorative Bath Stone on the Chapel. I marvelled equally of the skill of a craftsman who with a chisel and hammer could shape straight lines into beautiful, accurate curves and who could tell me with enthusiastic eloquence all about the geology and the palaeontology of the stone and how that affected the cutting and shaping. He had not followed a conventional 'academic path'. The route to knowledge, skill and understanding – in short, expertise- had come through vocational training and apprenticeship to a master mason.
There is a distinction to be had between a national curriculum and a school-based curriculum. What we learn from the independent sector is that the freedom for schools to choose a curriculum which suits their pupils leads to strong pupil achievement. Greater flexibility around subject choices also allows more refined budget setting. Dearing's suggestion that vocational and academic subjects should be considered on a par was a good one. All schools should be able to choose from a nationally recognised suite of qualifications at different levels, with a more varied assessment methodology and which are appropriate for their cohorts and build motivation, confidence and resilience rather than leaving so many disenfranchised and schools forced by measurement down the wrong path.
In education we have to keep looking forward, adapting to our context and to likely futures. We cannot, as Gove did, just pick out something that worked in our childhood. But where the old ways do give clues for future direction, then we should not ignore them.

What deficiencies would you cite and why? And how would you correct them?
by A.J. Plunkett (email@example.com)
You be the surveyor.
The following information was taken from a CMS Form-2567 "Statement of Deficiencies" posted online by the federal agency under its Quality, Certification and Oversight Reports (QCOR) group.
The website—https://qcor.cms.gov/hosp_cop/HospitalCOPs.html—was announced in 2018 as a way for Medicare to put more pressure on accrediting organizations (AO) and healthcare providers to improve patient safety by highlighting facilities with what it calls "recent substantial deficient practice."
The reports are usually from within the previous six months, and the search matrix shows whether the surveyors declared an immediate jeopardy and if the survey was because of a complaint, a recertification, or validation of an AO's performance.
Read the following information. See if you can cite the same A-tag deficiencies that CMS surveyors did using the federal agency's State Operations Manual (SOM), Appendix A, with interpretive guidelines to enforce Medicare Conditions of Participation. The report findings are included at the end of this article.

Does anyone know how I can reduce the image without loosing picture quality?
I have attached the image here also.

This book, third in the series, picks up chronologically immediately where Book 2 left off. Aidan and his dad are back in Maryland, trying to meet with Robby and convince him of the Scrolls' truth, and Antoinette is still in The Realm, imprisoned in Paragor's prison. Paragor is amassing an army larger than any before, complete with a stronger-than-ever Wyrm Lord (a dragon whose very breath brings death) and the Seven Sleepers ("wolvins," which sound a lot like Tolkien's "wargs"). Sentinal Kaliam is doing everything in his power to defend & gather his allies and build new defenses. Aelic (Aidan's glimpse) is found, badly injured, but alive. Back on Earth, Aidan has discovered that his best friend Robby already believes in The Realm, but that he has been convinced by Count Eogan (the impostor emissary from the previous book) that Paragor is the true hero of the tale.When Count Eogan tries to kill Aidan, Robby decides to serve King Eliam, and is swept into Alleble. Like Aidan & Antoinette before him, he becomes a Twelfth Knight and sets out on a mission, racing against Paragor to find both the Scroll of the Prophecy and King Eliam's scribe Zabediel.

What is TPI?
TPI stands for Titleist Performance Institute and is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing.
To have an efficient swing does not mean that a player has to have an aesthetically pleasing golf swing; everyone moves their body differently to get the ball in the air.
A properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible.
Physical limitations in a player's body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.

In an interview with Forbez DVD, Gillie Da Kid speaks on his issue with Soulja Boy. Apparently, Soulja Boy said he was going to slap the 'King of Philly'. He then allegedly tried to get someone else to squash the beef behind closed doors. It doesn't seem like Gillie will let things go unless Soulja publicly apologies for talking reckless online. Gillie also kicks a freestyle and hits the popular Shmoney Dance. Do you think Soulja will ever will say sorry? Check out Gillie Da Kid's interview above.

It is well know, and the U.S. Department of Energy tells us this also, that heating water makes up for around 18 % of the normal home's annual energy usage. The only other house device that makes use of more is the heating and cooling system. With the usual tank water heater that many home owners make use of, it is maintaining 40 to 50 gallons of water hot all day no matter when it is being used. On average with this circumstance, 20 to 50 percent of the power being made use of is totally squandered. Just what are some choices to assist curb this energy loss? The firm Aquanta, use to be named Sunnovations has been inventing a viable solution for numerous years already.
Sunnovations had a crowd-funding project in 2014 that did not reach its complete funding yet that is all right with the company for they were able to gather bunches of interest from distribution partners that has become productive with a second attempt now. Aquanta is presently taking pre-orders on a new smart water-heater controller, which they believe will be delivering in July this year.
Aquanta's Chief Executive Officer Matthew Carlson states that the business's brand-new modern technology has actually been field tested for over a year now. It is unusual that other businesses have actually not started developing a similar device, particularly with the first crowd-funding campaign … despite having it not being successful for them originally. Because hot water heater normally have a life of 8 to 12 years, it is not sensible to replace it when it is running okay, yet simply does not have all the contemporary technology that a new water heater might have. Many brand-new hot water heater designs are using smart modern technology functions, however there is nothing that will work with any model of current water heater to "make it smart." Sears recently released a hot water heater controller that does work on a few of its models, however not all them and not with other companies hot water heaters.
The only various other gadget that is only a little comparable is a hot water heater timer. Though it works like a timer, turning the heater (and just electrical water heaters) on and off at specific times of the day; and not by means of smart technology.
One of the features of the Aquanta technology is that it will "learn" exactly what the water use patterns are within the house. Most people tend to shower, use the dish washer and various other hot water using appliances around the same time of day. The device will work to adjust the hot water heater's temperature to satisfy the need throughout peak times, and reduce the power usage during non-peak times.
The Aquanta will be situated in addition to a water heater. A probe is installed behind the T&P valve port and then the probe is attached to the controller. A second sensing unit is taped to the cold water supply. An optional 3rd probe is developed to find if there is a water leak from the water heater as well.
Last but not least, the controller is attached to a Wi-Fi network and homeowners will install the smartphone app on a phone. The controller connects to Aquanta's cloud-based server and begins its task of finding out the residence's hot water usage patterns. It is additionally feasible to manually enter in the water usage pattern as well. So, it can manually and automatically manage the heater's power use.
It is developed so DIY house owner can carry out the installment him or her self. If a resident doesn't feel able to do the job, a plumbing specialist could definitely aid the firm states. Aquanta estimates it taking about 40 minutes for a house owner to finish the set up.
The device will work for many hot water heater, despite the energy kind. It depends on the source of power if it will work or not. There has to be an electronic ignition system, which most all more recent water heaters will certainly have. Old gas heaters might not though. Most definitely have a look at the compatibility details on the business's website right here to see.
Specifically just how much energy, and then translated into money, can a home owner conserve with the unit? Below is what Aquanta states on their site: "our data suggest that at least 20% and up to 50% of that energy in a typical home is wasted through 'standby loss'. We are being careful to not overpromise, and have 3rd party testing underway to more specifically quantify the saving opportunity. However, our internal studies and modeling suggest that between 10-30% of water heating energy can be saved by intelligent control through Aquanta. The economic value of intelligent control of water heaters is much higher when factoring in peak or time-of-use pricing and utility peak demand reduction and similar incentives." (read more here)

A Holiday-Themed E-Learning Makeover
Articulate E-Learning challenge #65 was to find three different templates, and utilize them to create a single presentation with a unified design.
*This presentation was updated to Storyline 360 for E-Learning Heroes Challenge #185: Design a Holiday Themed E-Learning Graphic or Interaction.
3 Templates:
I chose the templates from the available Storyline template downloads on the Articulate website:
- A holiday-themed quiz by Allison LaMotte
- A village-themed branching navigation example, by Nicola Appel
- A holiday interaction by Nicole Legault
To combine the templates, I unified the fonts and color schemes on the slide masters and feedback masters. I decided to go with the holiday quiz fonts: Century Schoolbook and Monotype Corsiva. I incorporated the tree-decorating interaction into the holiday quiz, as one more example of the difficulties in returning home for the holidays. I brought the village into the mix by decorating it for Christmas, and used a car traveling into the village to introduce the existential dread of coming home for the holidays.
I created an animated video intro, using Plotagon animation. Finally, I changed the Storyline player color to red, and expanded the player to fill the browser, to give the presentation a Christmas card feeling.
Authoring tool: Updated to Storyline 360, Plotagon animation, Camtasia video editing

Movies/TV Which movies do you never plan on seeing?
Nit Pick posted a topic in Media DiscussionWhat films do you never plan on seeing? I never plan on seeing movies like Black Swan, all three parts of the Godfather, Gravity, Birdman (not Harvy Birdman). Pretty much a majority of films that would make the list of 1001 films to see before you die books. Granted I have seen Indiana Jones 1-3 and Lord of the Rings and some others. I just do not ever plan on seeing every film in those books. ↓ More on the subject ↓

Why Was The Movie On Freeform?
rybird posted a topic in My Little Pony: The MovieOkay, so I saw that yesterday, the movie was on Freeform. I believe it was the first time the movie was on cable (at least to my knowledge). I was quite surprised though. Why wouldn't it air on Discovery Family where the show originated? Other theatrical films based on shows have (the Rugrats movies have been on Nick and Teen Nick, The Powerpuff Girls Movie has been on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and The Simpsons Movie has been on FOX, FX, and FXX). Not to mention a surprising censor at the end, even in a PG rated film.
WARNING: DISCUSSION OF DROPPED MOVIE CONCEPTS AHEAD!! ... So the idea of the villain being some lost forgotten brother of the Royal Sisters called Cosmo (Cosmos?) was initially floated before finally settling on the Storm King/Tempest due. I admit, I get a kick out of the idea of introducing a never-mentioned brother, as I just imagine the epic meltdowns from very unreasonable bronies and those that take the canon waaaaaay too seriously. Generally, would I have liked it? Not really, I wish they had just kept the Sisters as the only alicorns and made Cadance a Pegasus Princess and Twilight a Unicorn Princess, and later find an Earth Princess. But would I have liked to have seen a male alicorn, if they had decided on that design? Heck yeah! Would I have liked it in the main MLP show? Again, not really. What about you? How would you have reacted to a new, secret (and evil) brother for Celestia and Luna? Do you think the fandom would have had a meltdown? Twilight: How could you have had a brother I didn't know about?!? Luna: You're one to talk Twilight: ... okay, well, yes, you have me there. But still!! I know what Celestia had for breakfast 359 days ago!! It was toast with marmalade and blueberry jam!! Celestia: ... Backing away, backing away slowly now

Rosenberg and Pinkner both did great job on the action sequences and the comedy which is important for this anime. But Western adapting eastern cultural entertainment (anime) never seem to work out. (beside Ghost in shell) So that's the one part I'm worrying about. Another is "Americanized" it to the point it's shit. They also have to keep in mind this is taking place in Japan so majority of these characters are Asian. Genos and maybe King are not (maybe), but the rest are. I don't want to see them turning Saitama to some Caucasian. Or other character to different ethnicity , because dIVerSiTy. And knowing American are obsess with romance, I fear they will might just add some romance. idk, i think right now, I'm not sure this will turn out well at all. I rather have a Japaneses or an Asian who are familiar with eastern culture (anime) to do this movie and have SONY to do the production. Alita battle angel was popular and success but even I can tell it's "Americanized". What do you think?
So the movie is coming close and some spoilers are being spilled, along with the novel and comic was released. There are some who's knows more than others about the movie, but judging the movie alone, what would your expectation be for the movie? Excluded the comic and the novel since there's a high chance the movie will be slightly differed for it. My expectation is simple.. good amount of action, that you would see in others animation movie. The Villain will not be defeated by a one blast of magic as prior to the others mlp villains..or a stupid way to be defeated. It needs to be epic. Going outside the mainstream of the TV series. Because its not just going to be us watching it, there will others who are not a fan mlp, but still find it enjoyable to watch. It's time to step out of the circle and go big! Its a theatrical movie for pete' sake. Good story plot developments, meaning it can't be too predictable.
We're not too far away from the movie's release and the only confirmed characters from the show are The Mane Six, Spike and Celestia. I thought they'd have announced more by now, and if not, that seems too little for my taste. What about Cadance, luna, Starlight, The CMC...there are so many important characters that are being left out. And if they are in, the fact that they are not being announced would seem to suggest they will not have a major role
Who Attended The NYC Premiere?
Harratot33 posted a topic in My Little Pony: The MovieJust saw a post in one of the MLP groups I'm in on Facebook - a fan has seen the film early at it's New York premiere (video footage of just when it's about to start and all, so it's authentic!) Anyone else go? What's it like; this user said she loved it and it's definitely worth the wait (VERY vague, but great to hear!)
Will you go to see the MLP Movie?
Ponies4Bronies posted a topic in My Little Pony: The MovieJust wondering, When the movie comes out in 2017...will you go? Alone? Or with friends? Would you feel awkward if the theater was filled with girls? Would you make it to the premiere or go the next week or so? For me, I would try to go with my local brony group and I wouldn't care if the theater was filled with 7 yr old girls or kids, or their moms staring at me. Though I'm sure a few other bronies would go. I would try to make it to the premiere as well and Dash would come with me. I would go later in the day probably only because I like going to the theaters, its a good night thing to do.

CatCat posted a topic in Forum GamesSo the title should explain it, just put the next line of the movie (put around a sentence) (I'm not entirely sure where this post should go, sorry if this is the wrong one) I'll start: Here's my day so far

Sherem posted a topic in Media DiscussionWho is cult enough to have seen this movie and if you have, what are your thoughts, critic on it and score?
I know I'm in the minority here but I didn't like it. Without trying to give too much away for a movie called "Joker" there was barely any Joker proper in it. It felt like a remake of "King of Comedy" with DC characters shoehorned in just to get more people to see it Spoilers Below:
Sunset Shimmer's Age
SolyWack posted a topic in Equestria GirlsSo i rewatched Equestria Girls, because despite purist brony opinion, it was a good movie. In the movie princess celestia says sunset shimmer was a student before Twilight, BUT twilght became a student when she was very young. So i see two possibilities The first, is that sunset shimmer is much older than twilight is, because sunset shimmer would have to be older than twilight to make decisions on the quality and speed of her training, causing her to turn on Celestia. But Sunset Shimmer is a highschool senior, because pinkie pie said she was princess "3 years in a row", and twilight is at the very least a freshman, but likely older than that My second theory, is that sunset shimmer has a very high IQ and WAS able to make educated decisions on her training at only a few years older than twilight, or mabye even her exact age. But the problem with this is that Sunset's Plan was incredibly flawed, something that a very intelligent person probably wouldn't make So what do you guys think? How old Is Sunset Shimmer?
I loved Tempest shadow
Brandywine posted a topic in My Little Pony: The MovieI don't know how y'all feel but I loved tempest shadow. I know a lot of folks complain about her being very cliche with the broken horn and scar and all. However to me she had that strong Disney villain vibe like Ursula or m Maleficent or scar you know. She even had that fantastic music number. However I feel like they waisted her character arch by redeeming her I think it would have been more interesting if she had double-crossed the door the Storm King and taking the crystal for herself to restore her broken horn but that's just my opinion what do you guys think?
Another MLP Movie idea that popped up during work
SaburoDaimando posted a blog entry in The Blog of a BronicornSo today at work, I had another brainstorm of an idea involving an Alternative MLP Universe. The style is similar to Friendship is Magic, as well as the voice cast. But many of the origin stories are a bit different, not to mention some of the layouts. Here's how it goes. In this alternative world, Princess Twilight Sparkle once had a student of her own named Majesty, a young filly unicorn who once had an optimistic future. But one day, something went wrong and Majesty cut ties with her former teacher. This left Twilight Sparkle devastated by her failure. Months later, Twilight and her friends Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy were able to defeat Starlight Glimmer, a mare with a troubled past. Twilight, seeing Majesty withing Starlight, took her in as her student in hopes of giving her a second chance. Though Twilight and her superiors Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were willing to give her a chance to prove she's changed, there are some ponies who won't forgive her for what she did, calling her an impostor, a Twilight Wannabe, and a Mary Sue. This has left Starlight depressed, but there are some ponies that trust her in second chances. Especially those who live in Ponyville. Since then, Starlight has considered Ponyville her new home. And she has a number of friends to help her out(Besides the Mane 6 and Spike): Trixie, BIg Macintosh, Sugar Belle, Double Diamond, Mr and Mrs Cake, Baby Lickety Split, and Derpy Hooves AKA Muffins. One day, Twilight's former student Majesty appeared out of nowhere, armed with a tiara called The Wrath of the Windigos. With it, she channels her own rage and hate into a powerful magical weapon, using it to devastate the Equestrian Kingdom. Twilight wants to stop her former pupil, but Celestia insists on having her new pupil Starlight Glimmer stop Majesty. Twilight was reluctant because she didn't want her new pupil to fall to evil again, or for her to succumb to Majesty. But in the end, she puts her trust in Celestia and allows Starlight to embark on this quest to stop Majesty. Starlight's companions are Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer. Sunset serves as a big sister towards Starlight, helping her out and guiding her to her right path. Since Starlight's reform, Sunset has been looking after her, and for a good reason. Like Starlight, Sunset had a troubled past of her own. She and her younger brother Sunburst grew up as street rats in Equestria, trying to forge to survive. They were often mistreated by other Ponies as if they were unwelcomed guest. It took Celestia's own intervention to save both and take them in as her own students. As Starlight and the others embark on their quest to stop Majesty, a young colt who is considered a fan of Twilight Sparkle wants to know why Majesty went evil. A group of other Twilight fans don't seem to care, as they consider Majesty a traitor to Equestria, especially their leader. Curious, this young colt embarks on his own investigation in Canterlot on what happened that day. She was able to interview Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia on why Majesty went rogue. Twilight's own assistant, Spike the Dragon, serves as a partner for the young colt in the investigation. His investigation turns up to the family of Majesty. The young colt and Spike were able to talk with Majesty's mother and father. Majesty sounded like the perfect filly growing up in Canterlot. So why did she go rogue? Turns out, some ponies were sending her nasty letters, calling her "Imposter," "Fake," "Twilight Wannabe," and even "Loser." And it wasn't just the words. The parents witnessed their own daughter being humiliated when someone purposefully dumped a bucket of rotten vegetables on Majesty long ago as a mean-spirited prank, causing her to flip out. She was even taunted and humiliated by what sounds like the same ponies from the Twilight Sparkle Fan Club. This made the Young Colt began to rethink his stance in that club. At Midnight Castle, Starlight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Sunset were able to do battle with Majesty. Despite her age, Majesty was able to overpower all seven ponies with the Wrath of the Windigos Tiara. As the seven are severly crippled from Majesty's resistance, the young filly plans on using the fully power of the tiara to devastate Canterlot City as revenge for the humiliation she went through many years ago. Starlight and Sunset began to see a similarity between themselves and Majesty, and tried to reason with her, even bringing in their own past. But Majesty was not listening. She would stop at nothing to unleash all of her hatred towards Canterlot, and destroy the entire city. It was there that the sacred powers of harmony activated within all seven heroines. Early ago, they were unable to use the powers of Harmony to bring down Majesty. But Sunset's empathy and the spark in Starlight's heart were enough to power all seven ponies. They use the Rainbow of Light to defeat Majesty and shatter her crown. Even in defeat, Majesty was as defiant as ever, refusing to even consider a reform, only to accept her arrest by the Seven ponies. Starlight and Sunset were only saddened by Majesty's own defiant stance. After a short quest, Starlight, Sunset, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy return to Canterlot with Majesty in tow. Majesty was put into a dungeon cell where she would await her own trial. However, Princess Celestia portaled into the cell, wanting to know what really happened with Majesty. She was willing to give Twilight's former student a second chance like how Twilight gave Starlight a second chance. But Majesty refused to budge, even wondering why she would be given than when she's locked up. Turns out, Celestia left the door unlocked, stating that Majesty could escape anytime she wanted, and start the whole cycle over if she desired. But Majesty didn't even want to do so. Without power, Majesty feels useless. But when Celestia brought up some parts of Majesty's past that caused her so much grief, the young filly broke down crying, admitting that all that heckling, all that taunting and tormenting by a group of trouble makers was what caused her to abandon her studies in friendship. Celestia now had an idea, and it involved Starlight's own ceremony. That night, Starlight attended a ceremony with her friends, celebrating their victory over Majesty. But as Starlight accepted the award from Princess Luna and Twilight, some former naysayers started seeing Starlight in a new light, at least giving Starlight some hope. Then, without a second thought, a group of hecklers dumped a bucket of rotten vegetables on Starlight all just to humiliate her, and started to call her the same names that they called Majesty. It was never about Starlight's past. It was because Starlight was no Twilight Sparkle. Devastated, Starlight ran off crying. That alone angered Twilight, who called out those hecklers for being rude and insulting, even going as far as to blame them for Majesty's misfortunes. In fact, she now knows that the group of Twilight fans were responsible not just for heckling Starlight, but also to Majesty as well. When those same fans refuse to accept Starlight and even Majesty as students of Twilight, the Princess of Friendship throws down her crown and quits her status as Princess. Princess Luna even scolds those very hecklers with some parts of the crowd becoming restless. The young colt who witnessed everything called out his own fan club for their selfishness. The leader refused to accept any blame, stating that it was about keeping Twilight Sparkle pure. But some members of the fan club began to see the errors of their own ways, especially after the leader dumps rotten produce on the young colt's head for his own amusement. The young colt departs from the leader of the group, throwing away his Twilight Sparkle merchandise in shame. Soon after, some fan club members also do the same, leaving the leader all alone. That night, Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, APplejack, Fluttershy and Spike all went to comfort Starlight Glimmer after the humiliation she went through. Not long after, Celestia, Luna and Majesty joined Starlight as well. Majesty began to see the error of her ways and took pity on Starlight. Starlight was able to cheer up and allowed Majesty to snuggle up to her. Then the young colt arrives, ashamed at what his fan club did to Majesty and Starlight. He even confesses that he actually had a crush on Majesty back then. Some fan club members came to confess what they did and surrender, willing to pay the price for what they did. But not the leader, who was angry over being ousted by the other fan club members. As punishment, the fan club members have to attend community service to make up for what they did. Majesty, Starlight and the young colt volunteered to help out. For Majesty, she chose to do community service to make up for what she did as a villain. Twilight and Celestia are only glad that Majesty was able to return and mend their ways, though Starlight has volunteered to be Majesty's newest teacher. As for the former leader of the fan club, he has to spend an entire year cleaning up Canterlot City as punishment for his crimes. Starlight has become closer to the ponies of Equestria thanks to her second chance, and for helping save Majesty from herself. For Twilight, she couldn't have been more proud of her pupils. And for Celestia and Luna, they couldn't have been more proud of Twilight Sparkle.

Spoiler How did you feel with Derpy's role?
Ginger Ale posted a topic in My Little Pony: The MovieHow did you feel when Derpy sacrificed herself to save Twilight from turning into a statue? All things that happened was unexpected for me. First Princess Cadance, then Princess Celestia Princess and Luna and finally Twilig-nope Derpy with her horn hat. She sure fooled Grubber though. I felt both honored and sad when Derpy was the one that turned into a statue. At the same time, I was also in quite a shock and had chills all over my body when that quick chaos happened. I knew if Discord was here (not the balloon version that Pinkie Pie made), he would snap all the villains but what Derpy did, was amazing. Finally, MLP movie gave a very special role to Derpy, although she is not from mane 6. I, myself do not love Derpy the most but I was too emotional on that part. Also, I was sad when we only see cutie mark crusaders only in one scene with no dialogue. Fluttershy's dialogues were so few too and she was my favorite out of mane six. Afterall, I loved the movie, it was more than I expected and it was sure surprising and amazing. So, how did you feel when Derpy sacrificed herself?
Justin_Case001 posted a blog entry in Justin_Case's Stop & TalkSo, it's a funny thing--I've been a huge Pony fan for years now, and the franchise is extremely important to me, and yet, I find myself dreading most new episodes, as well as the movie. I just...tend to expect the worst these days, and I'm not entirely sure why. The show has proven that it still has the right stuff, but I guess it has been rockier the past couple of seasons, with more ups and downs. A casual observer would think I'm nuts, and ask why the hell I stick around if I dread new episodes. I probably am nuts. It doesn't make much sense, does it? Why continue to be so involved in this if I don't seem to get much enjoyment from it? Well, I still do get an enormous amount of enjoyment from the good episodes. I stick around for the Perfect Pears. That made me cry. I still love these characters and their world so much that I want to stick around, even if I don't enjoy all of it. I also love the community and fan-content aspect. It's a weird thing, and it's probably impossible to explain to someone who doesn't get it. Maybe it only makes sense to an autistic nutcase like me. I almost decided not to see the movie because I was so horrified by the animation change. I'm not going to re-explain my thoughts on that. If you're interested in hearing the details, check out my Stop & Talk blog entry entitled, "Why I Might Not See the Movie". Obviously, I ultimately decided to see it for one simple reason: I had worked very hard to make a highly accurate Equestria Girls Rainbow Dash cosplay to wear to the movie, and I felt I owed it to myself to see that through and wear it. I did, and I enjoyed that part. Onto the actual movie. Alright, so....as usual, my opinion is going to be an extremely unpopular one. When I expressed my thoughts about the animation change, it became horrifying clear to me that I would be all alone in my opinions about the movie. Why should this bother me? Well, I don't know. It shouldn't. I have problems. Honestly, though, I can't help but feel very alone and a bit....well....betrayed by my fellow fans. This entirely on me, of course. It's wrong of me to implicate anyone else like that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and it would be wrong of me to take out my frustration on anyone else for not sharing mine. I still can't help feeling the way I feel, and I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for my harsh opinion, and I'm sorry if it offends or upsets anyone. So, I thought the movie was absolutely horrible. Abysmal. I cannot believe what I just watched. It was unspeakably, shockingly bad. And I feel even more shocked that I seem to be the only one to feel this way. I knew it was going to be bad, but I never knew it was going to be that bad. I cannot find one good thing to say about the movie, and I consider myself to be a very fair reviewer. I actually consider myself one of the more tame and charitable reviewers of the show. There wasn't a single redeeming factor about the movie. Terrible plot, terrible acting, terrible music, and (yes, I still think so) terrible animation. I felt like the movie was a complete insult, a betrayal to everything Pony. It's like they jettisoned everything that made the show great. They just took all of the magic of the show and blew it out the airlock. I know I have a very biased and unpopular view regarding the animation change (they just don't look like our ponies at all), but disregarding that, everything about the movie was still garbage. The story was completely goofy--just one ridiculous, over-the-top, stupid, themed adventure after another, with no real depth or development. The characters felt like overly silly caricatures of themselves, lacking any and all of the dynamic and realistic depth from the show. It was a non-stop string of cringeworthy jokes and stupid gags with one predictable, idiotic song after another. I absolutely abhorred the decision to make the movie essentially a standalone feature, excluding and disregarding most of the lore and continuity from the show. I do, however, understand why they did this. I assume they wanted to make something that someone who's not a fan or follower of the show could watch, and still enjoy. This makes sense from a marketing standpoint, and I guess from a critic standpoint as well. I still hated it. They've made a rich and detailed lore, and it felt like they just threw it away. I predicted that Starlight wouldn't even make an appearance, and I was right. Terrible decision. (Perhaps I missed her in a cameo. I saw Trixie.) I know it needed to be mane 6 focused, but there should have been other characters in there, too. Starlight should have had a scene or two, and the CMC should have a line or two. A least a brief, throwaway line. SOMETHING. I was shocked and appalled that they didn't even show Ponyville or Twilight's castle ONCE. No Boutique, no Sweet Apple Acres, no Sugarcube Corner, nothing. I realize they went for world building, but they should have at least had an exposition scene in Ponyville for Celestia's sake. No mention of Rarity's fashion empire, no mention of Ranbow being a Wonderbolt. (Twilight, why were you looking at Rainbow when you said you had ordered clear skies? That's not her job anymore, remember? She's a Wonderbolt, now!) I know the movie was supposed to be fantasy and adventure focused, but I really think there should have been some effort to at least briefly incorporate the professional lives they've all built. I knew that movie was going to basically jettison the developments and continuity of the show, and...well, I'm not at all happy about it. But worse than all that stuff, the movie just didn't even feel like FIM. It didn't even feel like the same franchise. It was so dopey, and nothing fit in the FIM world. It was just: "let's see how many old Disney movies we can cram in." Seriously, we had Aladdin, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid, and, I guess, f*ckin Aristocats or something? Seriously, what the hell was that bipedal, humanoid, smooth talking, like, f*ckin 1920's New York jazz hole cat? What the HELL was that?! He didn't belong in the FIM universe at all. I can't believe they invented all of these new, underdeveloped characters to help stop the villains when they already have an array of fantastic characters with enormous potential to draw from. Instead of alley cat, pirate birds, and sea ponies, why couldn't they have had, oh, I don't know, let's say, Ember lead the dragons to Canterlot, Thorax lead the changelings to Canterlot, Gilda lead the Griffons to Canterlot, maybe even Prince Rutherford lead the yaks to Canterlot, and then they all charge the Storm King? (The dopey, stupid, and completely idiotic Storm King...) Why not give some big screen time to some of the great characters they've developed throughout the show?! Why not further develop these great characters instead of cramming in these weird, Disney-esque idiots? Now, I love Disney, but that doesn't mean you can cram it into FIM and expect it to work. I could go on and on, but there's no point. I'm sure I've lost all readers by now, anyway. I really love Pony, but I cannot express enough how much I hated this movie. I waited so long, and I can't believe that this is what we got. Even my mom was squirming in the theater seat, thinking, "Oh my god, how long is the piece of crap?!" and she's a much more casual and less critical fan than I am. This wasn't Pony. This was an abomination. Absolute trash. I apologize again for my unpopular opinion, and my harshness. I understand how frustrating it can feel when someone hates and dumps on something you love. I don't wish to upset anyone. I'm sure most of you will think I'm completely warped and gone right out of my head. I probably shouldn't have written this. I probably should have observed the old rule of "if you don't have anything nice say, don't say anything at all." My only defense is that, for some reason, it makes me feel mildly better to get my opinion out there, probably because I feel betrayed by the writers and filmmakers, and it's therapeutic to vent. I am entitled to express my opinion, after all. I'm sorry if it's bothers anyone. I guess that about wraps it up. Before I go, I need to do one last thing, and I apologize profusely in advance for this. Please don't take this too seriously, and if you don't agree, please just ignore me and my extremist fringe opinion. I just need to do this. I have to get it out of my system once and for all. *Catches breath*. *Ahem*. Sorry. Uh...sorry. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. This was my first and last word on the movie. I won't subject anyone to any more of my opinions. I'll just go on from here as if the movie doesn't exist. Alrighty, folks; I'll see you later on. Stay pony, my friends. Until next time.
Movies/TV Pokemon detective pikachu The Movie
TBD 🚬 posted a topic in Media DiscussionPokemon detective pikachu a game for 3DS is about a talking pikachu playing as a detective and your job is to help solve mysteries with pikachu. Apparently a movie is being made by warner bros and here's the official trailer. So here's my honest opinions on this..although I really like the fact to finally see a real life pokemons and pikachu ( i mean look how cute and fluffy he is) till he opens his mouth. I was expecting the voice tone to be more fitting to this adorable creature. Overall I have a mixed feeling about this movie..while growing up with pokemons, there's nothing nostalgic about this movie. Now I never played the game before so maybe that's the case or because different cultural media. So honestly I have no words about this movie at all...What's annoys me is how most of the reaction from the people is that they thinks this movie is going to be like deadpool just because Ryan is voicing pikachu. Deadpool and pokemon is in a while different level from each other. So..what do you think of this movie so far? UPDATE: This thread can be use as a review/discussion once the movie is out for May.
Teacups, handles, and other strange things.
JCKane posted a topic in FiM Show DiscussionSo, there's always been one thing that's bothered me about the world of MLP:FIM, and that's with some of the items in the world. Things like, teacups and other things with handles that just weren't meant for a pony to hold. I mean, have you SEEN a pony hold a teacup by the handle? (Pinkie Pie's hair doesn't count ) So, it honestly makes me wonder, why would the pony's create such items that they can't even use? You COULD say it's a visual element but I mean, the show has adjusted items to fit for a Pony, like cameras. So why are teacups with handles still a thing? So I was thinking of this and maybe the answer lies beyond Equistria's borders. I mean, inside we got primarily hooved ponies, Dragons(who don't really use teacups, aside for Spike ), and Gryphins, who CAN use teacups but they don't tend too, and they're not as many of them compared to the pony population. Yet outside, we got all kinds of various types of creatures, and a good chunk of them have actual hands or claws. So it makes me wonder, does Equistria import things like teacups from other places outside Equistria? Or do they just make it like that because teacups were always made with handles before Equistria was even founded? Anyways, just some of my thoughts on it, what do you guys think of the subject?
