TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by AmuEwu: 7:48pm On Nov 16, 2017
TonySpike:


I doubt there is any superhero movie that doesn't use excessive CGI. Show me a superhero movie without excessive CGI, don't mention Nolan's trilogy because those films can hardly be regarded as a true superhero movie. CGI is unavoidable because a true superhero movie environment cannot be replicated practically in terms of its fantasy and surreal nature.

Although, I think Snyder should have used a fully armoured Stepphenwolf instead of using motion capture CGI. But understandably, this may not hsve allowed for so much flexibility in terms of rendering though


Well every superhore movie has used CGI, but i think a few has focused more on the characters and story they want to tell than on the visual spectacle.

Lets look at the first two Xmen movies. Sure CGI was used cause of their powers, but the film focused more on the characters and plot than the CGI battles. Thats why we ended up with a true hero like Wolverine, a real leader like professor Charles Xavier and an excellent villian like Magneto. Xmen generally was a great movie until they did the last stand, where everybody just wanted to show off their powers.
Same thing with the Wolverine trilogy... its generally good with minimal CGI except for the one he fought with Deadpool who was another computer created guy.

The first spiderman movie, the one against Green Goblin was pretty good and no excessive CGI i think, Captain America's movies have not been bad on its own and it doesn't have CGI screaming all over our faces.


In all my major qualms with movies is a good plot. I ask for nothing more after that. If they can combine the good plot with excessive CGI, then no problem. But in most cases one have to give way for the other.

Lols, the hatred for Snyder and DC is becoming ridiculous plus fans are blasting joss whedon for liking a tweet saying Steppenwolf is one of the worst villains ever

I promise you when you watch that film, you'll see no difference between Steppenwolf, Enchantress and Doomsday. I can bet that Steppenwolf would have nothing unique up his sleeves. He just wants to destroy the earth.... something we have been seeing over and over again.

Personally i'm of the opinion that hollywood should reduce the use of CGI to as much as possible. I think its starting to destroy their ability to come up with good stories, proper actings and characters. All they want to do now is to show us explosions and destructions. Some of the best movies, including superheroe movies that i've watched used minimal CGI

Bro pls do not be offended,I have few questions to ask.
How is business of London used laptops and accessories move in Ghana?london usee laptops,laptop charger,hard drive,ram,processor and others?
How much is shop/house rent ?
How about importing from China in small quantities to test the market?
Note...... I am into London used laptops and accessories and some sellers do send laptops sometimes to their Ghana contacts.

Thanks Bro.

For your question about importing London used laptops, I'll say the market is already saturated just as it is in Nigeria. So unless there's a special way you wish to offer it you'll just end up in the crowd. In fact I think familiarity is important in business, so stick with the market you are familiar with. I'm sure you already understand how things work in Nigeria, and you probably already have some dedicated customers. I think these are advantages you already have instead of coming to Ghana and starting everything again... Remember this advice is if you want to do the regular importing of laptops and selling in a shop.. But if you have something unique to offer, then you can go ahead..

Now regarding rents. .Its crazy expensive in the capital Accra where I stay ( compared to most Nigerian cities) ... This is another disadvantage cause you'll spend a lot of money. But if you have a family member, friend or someone you can stay with, then that is a plus mark for you.

If you have any question. I'm still available to answer

TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by AmuEwu: 9:53pm On Nov 15, 2017
Lets not cry wolf yet. Lets wait and see the movie before we start crying of bias. .

For a movie that has two different directors, a lot of people backing out and been fired in mid production, a whole lot of scenes and characters been cut, many reshoots, script changes and some other problems. It is difficult for me to anticipate a really good movie with all these. Truth is you can't keep changing things anyhow in any industry and expect to come up with a coherent product. Instead you'll end up creating a disaster.


I must say that either Warner Bros doesn't learn or they learn very late.
It takes months or sometimes years to develop a movie script.. Now after this, WB will start changing aspects of the plot, removing and adding characters, doing reshoots - at the end of this, you only end up with a big gaping hole in your plot. WB should allow directors develop the script as it is. No meddling is needed.
This thing plagued Batman vs Superman and Suicide squad, but they still did it in JL which means they never learnt anything.


In essence what I'm saying is that I'm expecting an average movie here. It will be fun visually because of the colours and actions, but I'm also expecting some pieces of the jigsaw to be missing because a lot have been removed or changed from the original idea of the movie.. As for the villain, I'm not even expecting a good one, cause CGI villains have always been complete rubbish irrespective of who produces it whether marvel or WB (look at Ultron from avengers 2, Apocalypse from Xmen or even or very own Enchantress and Doomsday. .. You can't compare them with human villains like Bucky from Captain America or even Ras Al Ghul from Batman Begins)
Steppenwolf in this film is just your average villain, just created to come, fight and die. He would have nothing remarkable to offer

Romance / Any Other Person Experiencing This ? by AmuEwu: 5:39pm On Nov 12, 2017
Hello people i need your attention. I'm serious here and i want matured answers only.

I just discovered something about myself. Anytime i'm having sex with a girl, i love looking into her butt hole. Now i am in no way homosexual, and i don't even think of anal sex. But i just love looking into the girls asshole. I would just spread her butt as wide as possible and be starring into the gaping hole.
This has gotten to the point that i can't cum if i don't do this. I think i'm weird, and i don't want any of my girls to notice this cry cry cry
In addition to this, nothing turns me on better if i look into the hole and see little feces or if the hole is smelling. Thats all the Viagra i need.

So guys am i weird, or are there more like me

TonySpike:
The trailer was wonderful: no reveals, enough to sustain the hype for the next few weeks. The cinematography is excellent, I'm seeing an Oscars picture in the offing as against Star Wars. Zack Snyder is simply a visionary. Did anyone hear the reference to BVS Knightmare Batman. Yeah, the Universe is indeed connected. #HailSnydra

For me this trailer actually tried to reduce the hype. In my opinion BVS had a more epic trailer than this. . To further buttress my point, look how they showed steppenwolf just once in this trailer..
I think the idea is for viewers to come and see things for themselves in the cinema

Education / Re: 10 Countries With Best Educational System In The World by AmuEwu: 12:02am On Oct 08, 2017
schoolgossip:

Every three years, the Programme of International Student Assessment (PISA)
conducts an international assessment of the educational programs provided in countries across
the world. The test measures the skills and knowledge of 15-year olds in over 70 countries, regions,
and economies, covering reading, and science. In addition, education systems can
also choose to
test their students in creative problem-solving and/or financial literacy.
The test is given at random schools worldwide and is a mix of multiple choice
questions and openended
responses. The PISA test is not based on any particular school curriculum. Instead,
it is
intended to measure how students at the end of compulsory education (age 15 in
many counties)
apply what they’ve learned to real life skills.
Top 10
Canada: In Canada, there is not a lot of difference in how students across racial,
ethnic,
socioeconomic statuses perform on the PISA. Even students from heavily populated
province,
Ontario, had strong scores. The Canadian education system is decentralized; each
province and territory has control over curriculum. However, the provinces use each
other as models and
benchmarks when devising new best practices. The regional governments work
together to
maintain rigorous teacher recruitment and training practices. Family engagement,
dropout
prevention, and technology initiatives are also front and center in some of
Canada’s latest education
reforms.
Finland: Since Finland first topped the PISA results back in 2000, the Ministry of
Education in
Finland has had to form an entire unit devoted to helping foreigners with their
requests to better
understand the Finnish education system. School autonomy and teacher education
are
cornerstones to the success in Finland. Schools are allowed to choose their own
books, textbooks,
and curriculum materials. Teachers are required to have master’s degrees. Because
of the extent of
a teacher’s training and preparation, they are given a lot of freedom in how they
organize their
class.
Japan: The Japanese educational system has long focused on preparing students for
future work
and involvement in society. Japan’s meritocratic society drives people to perform
and achieve to the
best of their abilities—so that they may access opportunities by their own merit.
Japanese
curriculum is famous for being rigorous and dense. Students in Japan learn about
world cultures in
great depth. In addition, the math and science programs in the country are
extremely demanding.
Students work hard to gain acceptance from family, friends, and classmates.
Curriculum in Japan
tends to focus as much on how to do something (skill-based) to why something works
(application based).
Poland: Poland ranked below average in PISA’s first assessment in 2000. By 2012, it
ranked in the
top 10 educational systems in the world. One of the reforms that helped Poland grow
was to get rid
of the school structure that existed under the communist regime, namely that only
students who
scored in the top 20% of a high stakes test taken at age 14 would continue on with
their education,
while the rest would enter vocational school. Today, students in Poland go to school
through age 15,
at which time they are given four options for continuing their education, all of
which lead to the
opportunity to take the university entrance exams. In addition, teacher training
has expanded to
focus on both technical and vocation skills, as well as on how to help students in a
strong global
economy. Poland also has a goal of expanding early childhood education and
enrolling 90% of all 4
and 5 years olds by 2020.
Singapore: In its 50 years of existence as an independent country, Singapore has
undergone three
distinct education reforms to bring it into the top 10 best educational programs in
the world. First,
Singapore wanted to improve literacy. The country wanted to provide cheap labor to
the world
market and knew that the workers needed to be literate. The next phase of reform
was to develop a
quality school system with high student retention rates. To do this, Singapore
tracked students into
ability groups called “streams.” Teachers focused on teaching to one learning
mastery level at a
time. Curriculum and materials were then developed for each “stream of students.
By 2008, the third
phase of reform began. Ability grouping was abandoned and schools focused on
teaching students
deeper, more conceptual material. Arts and sports were introduced into schooling,
and teacher
development was heavily funded.
Estonia: the country of Estonia gained independence in 1992. Since then, the
country has worked to
rebuild its education system. They focus on three main areas: developing a new,
national
curriculum; training teachers in innovative practices; and upgrading vocational
education. The new
curriculum focuses not only on traditional academics, but also on personal skills,
like time
management, and communication. Teacher training focused on critical thinking
skills in a new, hightech
economy.
Hong Kong: Hong Kong has been a major player in the global business and financial
sectors for
some time. The city began to realize that it had priced itself out of the cheap labor
market and
needed to focus on educating its people. Major reforms began with providing
education for more
than just a small elite. Secondary and higher ed education became nearly
universal. A shift from
rote memorization to higher level thinking skills began in the 1990s. Students now
are tested not
only with traditional assessments, but also with real life applications. The Hong Kong
educational
system values constructivist based learning and students get hands on training and
practice with
many skills.
South Korea: Under Japanese occupation, South Koreans were not allowed to teach
or to attend
secondary school. When the Japanese left, more than 78% of the population of
South Korea was
illiterate. Though they tried to kick-start their own educational programs, the war
between North and
South Korea in the 1950s devastated the beginnings of that fresh start. When South
Korea was
finally able to design their educational system, they made it strict, rigorous, and
full of tests.
Students in Korea study longer hours than anywhere else in the world. There is
enormous pressure
to perform well, both to access future opportunities and to avoid shaming your
family. The South Korean only spends about half of what America does per pupil,
but families often contribute an
additional 15% of that amount to private tutoring and weekend school.
Shanghai: This Chinese city is unique in many ways. It regards choice and inquiry as
the
cornerstones of education. In the late 1980s, Shanghai began giving students more
choice in the
curriculum. In the 1990s, the city began integrated science and humanities courses
in an effort to
emphasize inquiry. These major changes led to students who move from simply
acquiring
information to those who worked actively to gather and use their knowledge in
productive ways.
Teacher training and development has been another hallmark of the Shanghai
education system
over the last 20 years. Teachers in Shanghai today are encouraged to lecture less
often, and
instead provide hands on, constructive activities to promote learning.
Taiwan: This tiny island has always had few natural resources, so the government
spends a great deal of money on education so that the people of Taiwan will have
something to offer the global economy. Taiwan considers itself a “knowledge
economy.” Taiwan’s schooling programs includes: 12 years of compulsory education,
locally controlled curriculum, early childhood education, vocational and arts
education, technology-rich classrooms, and subsidies for students from lower
socioeconomic status families to attend higher performing schools.
In Short
The top performing school systems from all around the world have many things in
common, including an emphasis on curriculum and teaching preparation, and are
willingness to reform when needed. However, many of the countries on this list
approach these educational components in very different ways. This goes to show
that, when the government cares enough to invest in creating a thriving educational
system, there’s no “right way” to do so. All that’s required is a willingness to know
when change is needed, and the will to dig in and do it.

Each and every part of the Psquare family is to blame.

Jude is to blamed for taking side when he ought to have been a mediator or somebody that is not taking sides with any of the twins. It's wrong for him to have done that in the first place.

I think those blaming one of the wives are nothing but tribalists with lack of understanding or even an atom of common sense.

Also, any fan taking sides on this issue is not a fan of Psquare. We all enjoyed their music as a group and we hope it stays that way.
Above all, I think the fans should just remember them in their prayers because this brouhaha might be from one wicked Uncle or aunty from the Okoyes village jealous of their achievements

Like i said earlier, those countries have become infamous for abusing immigrant workers. You see those giant exotic buildings, hotels and casino's in the UAE and Qatar, they're not built by their citizens, they're not built by Americans, or Chinese, or citizens from any developed country. They are usually built by immigrant workers from countries like India, Pakistan, Jordan, Iran, etc.

Even the united nations have accused UAE of human rights violations, and of course they denied.

By 2022, Qatar would host the FIFA world cup with the most spectacular stadiums ever seen. Look at what Amnetsy International has to say
