Simple One Electric Scooter Booking At Rs 1,947 – Battery Pack, Range Details
Simple Electric Scooter Battery Pack
Range anxiety is a key reason why people continue to prefer petrol powered two-wheelers
Since the time Simple Energy started working on their electric scooter, the team was pretty clear that they need to free people of their range anxiety. It was evident that their electric scooter will have a better chance to succeed if it can deliver higher range than rivals.
That dream has been realized and will be showcased to everyone on August 15. Bookings will commence on the same date and deliveries are expected by January 2022. Booking amount is set at Rs 1,947. The amount Rs 1,947 is chosen as the Simple One is launching on 15th August, Independence Day. The pre-booking would begin from 5 pm onwards and the vehicle can be booked on the company's website.
Speaking on this, Mr.Suhas Rajkumar, Founder, and CEO, Simple Energy said, " Through Simple One, we hope to create a benchmark in the EV Industry. 15th August is a historic day for us too. We look forward to an electrifying year ahead." In addition to this, the Simple also shared some information on the portable battery pack, which appears to be grey in colour, and weighs over 6kgs. This battery pack is custom-built for Indian usage, making it easier for anyone to take it back to your house to charge it.
Simple One will have a 4.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, a claimed range of 240 km in eco mode, a top speed of 100kmph, and 0-50 kilometers per hour acceleration in 3.6 seconds. Other key features are a mid-drive motor along with a removable battery and futuristic design. It also comes with smart features like a touch screen, onboard navigation, Bluetooth, etc The e-scooter will be priced from Rs1,10,000 to Rs.1,20,000.

How Simple One achieves 200+ km range?
Simple Energy has always strived to reach the 200km mark for their Simple One electric scooter. It has been achieved with continuous improvements in multiple components. The motor is one such component that the company has developed in-house. Simple Energy is currently the only OEM in the country to have designed, developed and manufactured its own powertrain.
This has allowed the company to carry out desired optimizations that can improve the motor's efficiency and scooter's range. Customizations would have limited scope if the powertrain was designed and manufactured by another entity.
The powertrain developed by Simple Energy has already been patented. The company may use its expertise in this area to create a new revenue source. However, there are no plans to directly share the motor design with other entities. In addition to the engine, Simple Energy has patents for various other components. These include the scooter's design, cycle parts, thermal management system and battery pack.
Tech integrations have also helped improve overall efficiency of the powertrain. A lot of research has gone into developing an aerodynamic design for the scooter. This reduces drag and helps improve range. Another example of continuous improvement is the weight of the scooter, which has been reduced from 130 kg earlier to less than 110 kg in its present form. Even electrical systems including headlight have been customized to reduce auxiliary power consumption.
Simple One acceleration and top speed
Even in the Eco mode, Simple One will be able to achieve speed of around 45-50 kmph. This is pretty decent for city ride conditions. There will be three other ride modes that will allow higher speeds. Top speed will be around 100 kmph. Simple One will also offer best-in-class acceleration of 0-40 kmph in 3.1 seconds. This is better than Ather 450X that does 0-40 kmph in 3.3 seconds. Simple One can achieve 0-60 kmph in 3.6 seconds.
Almost complete localization
Simple Energy has been able to achieve close to 99% localization. Except the battery cells, all other components used on Simple One are sourced locally. This will help reduce cost and avoid delays in production and deliveries. Simple One electric scooter is expected to be launched at Rs 1.1 – 1.2 lakh. The Simple One will be launched in 13 states in India in Phase 1.

Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Andy Karl has made his mark in the Broadway community. He originated the roles of "Luke" in the Off-Broadway smash hit "Altar Boyz" and "Adam" in the Off-Broadway show "Slut". He's starred on Broadway in "Saturday Night Fever","The Wedding Singer" and "Legally Blonde" and toured the country with "Disney On The Record", "Cats", and "Tommy". You can now see Andy in the hit musical "9 to 5" playing the character of "Joe", the love interest for "Violet", played by Allison Janney. For more on Andy Karl, visit: www.andykarl.com
1. Who inspired you to become a performer? Well it's really a two part answer. My very 1st inspiration (to perform) came from my chorus teacher back at Towson High. He asked me to audition for the summer musical "Oklahoma". I didn't expect to be offered a role in the show but was cast as the shows' villain, Judd Fry. That same week I broke my foot skate-boarding (oops). I staggered into rehearsal with crutches and a cast. Though this could have stopped the average High School performer from making opening night, a unique blend of tenacity and creativity took over as I designed attachments to my cast that looked astoundingly similar to a real boot and nixed the crutches. I went on for all 3 performances to triumphant applause from parents.
The first person to inspire me to take theatre seriously as a career was a director at my college musical. I was majoring in music, and paving my way to teaching, but still took part in musicals. Now there are some people you work with that have that sort of innate artistic vision that you can sense right away. Everything they do is for the crafting of the show and its success to tell a story…Todd Pearthree back in my hometown was 'that guy'. Everyone in the community new that he was one of the best directors to work with. One day in tech rehearsal he was talking to me and asked what I wanted to be. I told him I would probably teach music…he looked at me a little oddly and said "I think you may want o give the performing a go because you'd be a success at it."
That was the first time I remember knowing I had to really give it my everything.
2. Who is the one person you haven't worked with that you would like to? I have been very fortunate to work with some people I've never dreamed I would. Directors like Joe Mantello & Jerry Mitchell, actors like Allison Janney & Mark Kudish. And since I've already performed in over 5 shows with my Orfeh, I will have to tell you someone else. I guess to answer this question I must go back to the previous question of "who inspired me". The one musical I would listen to day in and day out before I came to Broadway was 'The Who's Tommy'. That CD and production changed my idea of musical theatre all together. I knew I had to get to NYC and fast. Michael Cerveris filled my ears with the holiest of Rock Opera, and has since been an idol of the Broadway stage. He is the one true person I would be honored to work with. I've also met him in gatherings and he's just a really cool dude as well.
3. Do you have any strange or unusual talent that no one knows about? Though Orfeh would say I have an unusually tremendous talent to mess up a clean apartment in record time, I personally disagree.
I do, however, have a unique ability to burp long and loud on Que. I've actually used this ability in performances across America when I was on tour with 'The Who's Tommy' and I was Uncle Ernie's off-stage belch. 100's of performances and I never missed a beat.
4. Is there ever a time you thought about quitting? What, and miss all the fun? Never!!!!!
5. Who do you consider to be your hero? Obama, Dolly Parton, Scarlett the Cat that pulled her kittens out of burning house, and the people of NYC.
6. Favorite way to stay in shape? Be in a profession that requires you to look good in tight brown shorts. Legally Blonde kept me going to the gym. Since that show ended I've decreased my gym time but still try to maintain.
7. Boxers or briefs? Fitted boxers or briefs that don't squeeze 🙂
8. Favorite kind of shoes? Casual sneakers-no laces-black. (Adidas has great ones)
9. Favorite ride at an amusement park? "Gravitron Starship 2000″ …"The Zipper" is a close 2nd.
10. Favorite Actor? Phillip Seymour Hoffman is such a kicka** actor, amazing in everything he does…even 'Twister'. I also think Brendan Fraser is very underrated these days. His work in Bedazzled is very versatile and very funny.


Saba is a great diving destination. It offers year-round diving: winter temp is around 26°C / 78°F whereas 85°F / 29°C for the summer season.
The Saba Marine Park has 28 permanently moored dive sites; including Saba's famous pinnacles and seamounts: Third Encounter, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Shark Shoals. These dives starts usually starts at 85 ft / 26 m and goes down to 250 ft / 200 m !
Ort: Saba (pronounced "SAY-ba") is the smallest island of the Netherlands Antilles. The island is located 28 miles southwest of St. Maarten.
Truly the Unspoiled Queen - This little island was made for divers - There are no beaches so no over crowding by typical tourists. No casinoes/shopping malls/diamond stores so not a popular cruise ship stop. What they do have is some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean. Under water you will find an abundance of marine life - turtles, nudibranch, octopus, eagles rays, sting rays, sharks, squid, sea horses and more. Above water you will find a welcomeing islanders, safe surroundings, comfortable hotels, great food and ability to escape the ordinary.


Directed by Allen Hughes, The Defiant Ones follows the musical journey of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. From the beginning of their careers into the music industry, the documentary follows their journey, capturing the very beginning and how they first started working with each other. Now, I know this doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Unless a documentary involves criminals or Whitney Houston I am not a big music fan, and you wouldn't normally catch me watching a documentary about it. That being said, the moment I pressed play, I was hooked. It is hard to explain how the opening credits caught my attention, whether it was The Untouchables soundtrack booming through the TV or the carefully edited scenes - I knew this documentary would be interesting and different.
From Stevie Nicks to Gwen Stefani, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre have played an incredible role in the history of music. Now I know what you are thinking, why watch this documentary if you are not a big music fan? Personally, I found this documentary incredibly inspiring and very motivational. I don't think you need to be a big music fan to simply appreciate how ambitious Iovine and Dre are. It really is incredible to see how they think and what kept them motivated when they were creating history. From partnering up with Apple and earning billions, to Iovine creating his record label, I loved every minute of this four part series.

This is about a fundamentally practical approach, based on the system Biodanza and on Psychomotricity, a subject that has been researching the psychology of movement. In this combined approach, the main issues in Psychomotricity: Body as Lived, Body as Perceived, Body as Represented, Body Schema, Lateralization, Space, Time, Rhythm, Muscle Tonus, Control, Coordination, and Equilibrium are discussed under the light of the main currents of Psychomotricity, Bioenergetic Psychology, and Developmental Psychology. Then, each one of these issues is translated into a Biodanza class that explores all its possibilities and counterpoints. The aim is to experience and modify the emotional memory in the body, affecting its expression through movement. Students are prepared to understand this approach that is a complement to Kinesiology, for it explores the psychological counterpart of the logic and logistics inherent in the awareness of body and movement. The results of this approach are disclosed and discussed.
I am a psychologist graduated from Universidade de São Paulo, with post-graduate studies at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (USA), and a Master's Degree in Developmental Disturbances by Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie. I am a professor for graduate and post-graduate studies of Body Communication, Psychomotricity and Dance for Actors at Faculdade Paulista de Artes. In parallel, I am also a Clinical Psychologist, working with children, adolescents and adults, both normal and handicapped. Besides, I am a Biodanza Facilitator, recognized by the International Biocentric Foundation. I am very interested in fashioning a synthesis of my complex path, in order to build different systems in the educational area.
Psychomotricity is still a very new concept, having been introduced in the '30s of the last century. In reviewing the literature around it, we find an array of different interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. Most of them, however, do not delve enough into the emotional content of muscular activity and movement. Wilhelm Reich was the pioneer in finding emotional content repressed into muscular armoring. He and his followers developed ways of liberating emotional content through the analysis and release of this armoring.
In the '60s, Rolando Toro Araneda created Biodanza, defined as "a human integration system of organic renewal, affective reeducation and re-learning of the original functions of life…" Biodanza, inviting its subjects to live out vivencias (Spanish term meaning experiences) through a combination of music, singing, movements and group encounter situations, unwittingly introduces a Psychomotricity program, leading its subjects to become aware of the emotional memory embedded in their bodies and movement, to liberate emotional content therein, and to reach new levels of psychophysical integration that have a marked power of healing.
Being a psychologist and Biodanza facilitator, I was faced with the task of developing a Psychomotricity program for the Dance Department of Faculdade Paulista de Artes. This is when I examined the main body movement themes dealt with by Psychomotricity and ascertained that most of its several approaches have not taken into account the deep emotional aspects implied in the moving body. This appeared to me as an open door for Biodanza, which has been paving its way through the emotional body ever since the '60s.
In the construction of the present method, the basic dimensions of Psychomotricity: Body as Lived, Body as Perceived, Body as Represented, Body Schema, Lateralization, Space, Time, Rhythm, Muscle Tonus, Control, Coordination, and Equilibrium  were understood as issues pertaining to the expression of human emotional potentials and translated into Biodanza classes aimed at awakening body awareness and developing body expression so as to heal deviations in each of these themes and bring the individual closer to his inner balance.
The concept within the Vital Unconscious allows us to understand in depth the Biocentric Principle, as a cosmic "tendency" that generates life. The Vital Unconscious is in synchrony with the living essence of the Universe… The act of cure will thus be understood as a movement to retrieve this vital synchrony with the Universe.
The notion of Cellular Cognition leads to the idea that this cognition is translated into the physical body through voluntary and involuntary movement, integrating in this translation the phylogenetic and ontogenetic emotional memory.
Upon examining the most recent formulation of the Theoretical Model of Biodanza , one can see in it Jung's Collective Unconscious, understood as an aspect of the Vital Unconscious that composes the occult zone of human consciousness and is accessible to awareness and to cure, by means of positive ecofactors (environmental factors) that lead to the integrating retrieval of protoexperiences (very early experiences in the lifetime of a person that are imprinted within cellular memory) .
Each one of the chief Psychomotricity themes suggested by the literature – Body as Lived, Body as Perceived, Body as Represented, Body Schema, Lateralization, Space, Time, Rhythm, Muscle Tonus, Control, Coordination, and Equilibrium was researched and discussed with the students as to what it suggests in terms of emotional memory and its role in body movement.
For example, the Psychomotricity theme Muscle Tonus suggests the inhibition or liberation of energy to a body part, depending on what this energy or body part symbolically and emotionally means to the person. This person may be hypotonic or hypertonic, depending on mood or character. Often, lack or excess of muscle tonus are related to affective disturbances. Wilhelm Reich showed us how psychological defense and repression create muscular armoring that retains psychological energy and is difficult to remove.
As another example, the Psychomotricity theme Space suggests how the Self sees itself within an internal scenario and within the external scenario, especially in its relationship with others. If I am confident in my relationship toward myself, I will probably be confident in my relationship toward others, and my movements will be free and easy, in their inward and outward projections.
Having these references in mind, a whole class of Biodanza was created for every one of these themes, making it possible for the students to live out several of these possibilities, along a spectrum of inhibition-freedom. Having become aware of these possibilities and of their emotional meaning, it was possible to transform the muscular defenses and repressions into free-flowing energy penetrated by new liberated psychological meanings. Thus, the body in movement, guided by free-will that transcends conditioned behaviors, promoted a change in emotional memory.
In the example of Muscle Tonus above, a special Biodanza class was created to dissolve the defenses that sustain muscular armoring, permitting the students to express all the emotion and energy that have been repressed, liberating them toward the Self and toward others, also preparing them to be more expressive in the daily environment.
In the above example of the Space theme, if I am not confident in my relationships, working this out in a Biodanza class will modify the emotional memory of being in a cramped uncomfortable environment and prepare me to deal with Space with much more freedom and ease. This in fact led the students to a deep lived-out perception of how the body in movement, accompanied by mental understanding and emotional release of repressed energies, could become a powerful healing factor for their personality as a whole.
The first part of this randomly chosen class is a theoretical discussion on the central theme. The second part is a Biodanza class especially constructed so that the students experience this central theme in the motion of their bodies.
This concept refers to the inner map of the body as perceived by a person. It is a representation of the body's spatial properties impregnated with psychological and emotional tones.
In the beginning, the child's ego is fused with the mother. Little by little it starts to individuate and the mother turns into an object – the 2nd person. With time, enters the father and becomes the 3rd person. In this individuating path, the relationships of the child with himself and with the other will determine how this child sees and acts in the world. If good impressions are formed, the child will act well in the world. On the other hand, if this child acts appropriately upon the world, good impressions will be formed. This a virtuous cycle, but obviously an opposite vicious cycle is also possible.
The instrument for getting to know the self, the other one and the world is the body, be it receptive (sensory), or interactive (motor – the muscles – movement and displacement). So, the child proceeds sensing himself, the other one and the world. And he proceeds interacting with self, the other one and the world. Thus the child forms his Body Schema, within which each part of his body represents some kind of relationship toward the self and toward the other one. For instance, with the hands he can touch the self and the other one; but it is also with the hands that he may conceal, hit and hurt. With the feet he can move in the direction of what is desired or retreat from what is rejected. With the mouth, he can savor a desired object or bite one that is feared or repelled. With the entrails he can incorporate appetizing objects from the world, but with them he can also incorporate disagreeable feelings, rage, fear, anguish and conflicts. With the eyes he can see what is desired but also not see what is unwanted. So it is that each part of the body progressively acquires an image to the self of the child, an image that only he can see and feel.
This is how the child forms his Body Schema, in which each part and the whole are impregnated with positive or negative affectivity. In case the relationship with the self or with the world is positive, this image is positive.
The Body Schema can be clearly seen when the child draws the human figure – at bottom a representation of his own self. For instance, the figure drawn may display hands that are potent – for they are capable of touching and searching important objects or people. Or it may display hands that look like sharp claws – expressing resentment and aggression, or feet that are too small – conceived of as incapable of leading the child to his objectives. Or eyes that are only very narrow slits – half-closed so as not to see what he does not wish to see, maybe also not to be seen. Or a very big nose – perhaps felt as greedy to capture odors that may be forbidden, perhaps aggressive or symbolic of a strong sexuality. Or a very voluminous body, stuck to the ground – felt as too submitted to gravity, to the security offered by the ground. Or a body that is tall and slim – felt as capable of rising to great heights.
It is clear that this map of the body as it is felt is not static, but moving. All that is strong in this image map bears a relationship with potent movements, and vice-versa.
In this class we will experience the Body Schema in several of its possibilities, as it is experienced along life, under different circumstances. And we shall follow a path that is healing of the internal wounds, leading to empowerment and sublimation, in order to improve the Body Schema. This class offers a path to neutralize eventual negative emotions associated to the body, substituting them with positive emotional imprints.
The results are partial and the system has yet to be perfected. So far, we have the results of two 80 hour semesters, applied to two 2nd semester classes of the Psychomotricity course, within the Dance Department, in Faculdade Paulista de Artes.
It has been ascertained that students have become more aware of the emotional implications in body movement and dance. They have travelled from a very superficial understanding of dance as an external, visual experience, subject to choreographies and techniques, to an in depth understanding of dance as a spontaneous manifestation from the inner universe, a generator of well-being and balance. Another gain derived from this course is the perception that movement can be healed and emotion will concomitantly heal with it. And vice-versa, a perception has been created that emotion can be healed and movement will concomitantly heal with it. More than before, Psychomotricity has emerged as a healing procedure that encompasses mind, emotion and movement.
These results are encouraging and they suggest further investigation of this approach to Psychomotricity, in future classes and research.

Sara Carter Blows The Whistle On Suspicious Payment Loretta Lynch's DOJ Made To Bruce Ohr
Sara Carter just exposed some suspicious payments made by Ex-President Obama's DOJ, led at the time by Loretta Lynch, herself famous for the Bill Clinton tarmac meeting, to Bruce Ohr.
Bruce Ohr has come under attack for his role in the Russia investigation and Sara Carter wants and deserves some answers.
On her page SaraCarter, she posted an article saying that the Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr – who was a back-channel for the former British spy who compiled the anti-President Trump dossier, has received a total of $42,520 in performance bonuses from the Justice Department.
He received the bonuses after being demoted for a conflict of interest and for not informing his superiors that his wife, Nellie Ohr, was working for the embattled research firm Fusion GPS, which hired former British spy Christoper Steele to compile the now debunked dossier.
According to documents unearthed by Judicial Watch, after Ohr's removal from his position as Associate Attorney General in 2017 and later after his transfer from the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force to International Affairs in 2018, he "received a total of $42,520 in performance bonuses during the Trump/Russia investigation. Ohr's bonus nearly doubled from $14,520 (received in November 2015) to $28,000 in November 2016."
The president of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, stressed that these documents will "raise questions as to whether the conflicted Bruce Ohr, who the FBI used to launder information from Christopher Steele was rewarded for his role in the illicit targeting of President Donald Trump."
Judicial Watch filed for the documents last year in January, but it took more than one year for the documents to actually be obtained from the Justice Department, as the group reported.
"The documents show that on November 13, 2016, Ohr was given a performance award of $28,000," states the watchdog.
"This was during the time of his deep involvement in the highly controversial Justice Department surveillance of the Trump presidential campaign. The bonus was nearly double the $14,250 performance award he was given on November 29, 2015."
Ohr was removed from his Associate Deputy position due to conflict of interest because his wife was working exclusively for the founder of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson on the Russia investigation.
Nellie Ohr is a Russia expert, believed to speak Russian fluently and was also using her husband to pass information from Fusion GPS, as multiple emails obtained by Judicial Watch have shown.

I had an incredibly tough time trying fit in all of the films that I wanted to give credit to within one list. As I have mentioned, I believe it was an incredibly good year for films, which left me with way too many films to simply count out for the sake of just ten films to mention in the end. So, with the Top 10 out of the way, here are a batch of other notable films, disappointments, and a worst of the year list. Enjoy.
Top Films: 11-20 (Alphabetical):
13 Assassins - A fantastic films from director Takashi Miike. It owes a lot to Kurosawa (in a good way) and features one of the best action sequences of the last decade (a 45-minute action climax!)
50/50 - A very good comedy-drama, featuring a great lead performance from Joseph Gordan-Levitt as a young man dealing with cancer, and strong supporting performances from both Seth Rogen and Anjelica Huston.
The Artist - A lot of films dealt with nostalgia this year, and The Artist was a prime example. A wonderfully likable silent film, featuring charming characters, a great dog, and some very nice B&W photography.
Insidious - My favorite pure horror movie of the year. A cool, cheap (and very successful, yay!) flick that starts out as a haunted house film and turns into something else...
I Saw the Devil - This movie was killer! A crazy revenge-thriller that has one man using devilish tactics to get back at a psychopath.
Kung Fu Panda 2 - Both a worthy successful to the very enjoyable Kung Fu Panda and one of the best action films of the year. Superb animation, handle on characters, and fight choreography.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Fitting into the Batman Begins school of reboots. Here's a quality film that served as both a fun blockbuster and a strong film in its own right, featuring a fantastic mo-cap performance from Andy Serkis.
The Skin I Live In - Mysterious. Creepy. Beautiful. The new Pedro Almadovar film is a wonderful foray into horror territory, despite still being a beautiful Almadovar film about identity.
The Tree of Life - Certainly a lock for cinematography. Another beautiful film about life as a whole, moving back and forth between the cosmos and a small family in the Midwest. All handled Malick-style.
Win Win - Such a good story with strong performances from Paul Giamatti and especially Amy Ryan. A lawyer/wrestling coach does what he can so he can pay the bills, with various kinds of fallout from there. Very enjoyable comedy-drama.
Honorable Mentions (Alphabetical):
The Adventures of Tintin - Spielberg made a very fun mo-cap animated film based on a popular, international comic book character.
Beginners - Incredibly charming film. Well acted and made with a positive amount of indie spirit.
Bridesmaids - Just a good movie. Very funny overall, has it's raunch, has its drama, but it is a solid, well-written comedy regardless.
Contagion - Not quite the Traffic of desease-outbreak movies, but Soderbergh does great work with a streamlined story that lacked deeper characters in favor of a strong procedural.
Fast Five - One of the most enjoyable action films of the summer. I knew it would be fun, but was not expecting this to become the best of the franchise. Pure, unadulterated fun.
Fright Night - I wish this film did better. Solid horror-comedy with a fine performance Colin Ferrell as the charming vampire-next-door.
I Love You Philip Morris -Sadly underseen here, as it features on of Jim Carrey's best performances.
The Illusionist - A tricky film not to put higher, simply because it was nominated for Best Animated Feature at last year's Oscars. From the director of The Triplets of Bellville, The Illusionist was another wonderful little work of art.
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol - If Hugo is the film that you NEED to see in 3D, Mission: Impossible is the film that you NEED to see on a huge IMAX screen. Completely worth it for this incredilby enjoyable action film, brought to you on a large scale.
Red State - Kevin Smith's attempt to shake up his own filmmaking sensibilities and be much more ambitious paid off in my eyes. This dirty, little indie managed to great work at spinning a thrilling story, with strong work by Michael Parks and John Goodman to match.
Submarine - A very stylish coming-of-age story, featuring a young protagonist and his attempts to be with a girl and resolve problems within his family. Self-acknowledgingly pretentious at times, a picture of awkward humor at others, but still enjoyable in an incredibly New Wave/Wes Anderson kind of way.
Warrior - A very old sports story is made better by the two-for-the-price-of-one approach and the very strong performances from its cast.
X-Men: First Class - Matthew Vaughn did tremendous work on creating both a prequel and reboot to the X-Men film franchise. Adding Michael Fassbender, among other factors, to this project was a huge plus as well.
and of course Captain America: The First Avenger - For pure heroics, look know further than Captain America, a guy so good that his only agenda is fighting for what is right. Joe Johnston did a fantastic job at making a superhero film that feels modeled in the realm of old serials, much like his other film, The Rocketeer.
Films I Wish I Had Seen:
Being Elmo
Most Disappointing Films:
Cowboys and Aliens – There was so much potential and promise in this film. Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig as leads; Jon Favreau directing; Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Brian Grazer producing; a ridiculously fun idea for a story; all of this and the movie was still a big bore. As this was near the top of my most anticipated list, I was saddened to not enjoy it as much as I would have wanted. (Review HERE)
Drive Angry 3D – I was not as saddened by this movie as 'Cowboys', but I was still hoping for much more given the combination of the team behind the surprisingly entertaining My Bloody Valentine 3D and Nicolas "Rage" Cage. Somehow, the movie titled "Drive Angry" did not feature nearly enough angry driving and had a fairly low-key Cage, when his wild-man nature was really needed. At least William Fichtner was awesome in this film, but not much else was. (Review HERE)
Top 10 Worst Films of 2011:
Luckily I was able to avoid a number of movies, including two terrible looking Adam Sandler films, whatever the hell Bucky Larson was, a movie about a married horse mother that was supposed to make us imagine how she does it, the arrival of a full-sequenced centipede, and Season of the Witch – starring Nic Cage's hair. Still, I found a number of pretty bad flicks to list out here:
10. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – As a person who really likes the first three 'Pirates' films, I was supremely disappointed with what 'On Stranger Tides' had to offer. Lackluster and boring, everything that people were ironically expecting before the fun surprise that was the first 'Pirates' film, is exactly what we got in this fourth entry. Deadly mermaids were not enough to save this one for me. (Review HERE)
9. Sanctum – A film that could have been a decent B-movie, with a James Cameron stamp of approval, based on the use of 3D, turned out to be terrible due its clichéd disaster plot-like story and having the worst performance I have seen this year. Mr. Fantastic himself, Ioan Gruffud, is so bad in this movie that I almost wanted to crawl into an underground cavern to escape him. (Review HERE)
8. No Strings Attached – Well it made me either more or less curious about watching Friends with Benefits...moving on (Review HERE)
7. Straw Dogs – Pointless remake of a movie I don't even care for that much, but was at least aware of its controversy and themes. This remake might have been better received by me if it did not brand itself within the same guise as the Sam Peckinpah-directed predecessor, given that it practically reverses the original's purpose, but no, it's just a trashy story that builds to a violent climax, designed to appeal to audience desires. Cyclops himself, James Marsden, might as well have said, "Gotcha suckers!" at the end. (Review HERE)
6. The Thing – I was on board with the idea of this film from the outset. The fact that I heard good things about the practical effects usage early on was also promising. The result? A really stale story that had none of the foreboding paranoia that made John Carpenter's The Thing so effective, along with laughably bad CGI effects. Bonus points for having the laziest prequel/sequel title this side of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. (Review HERE)
5. I Am Number Four – Hey, it's Twilight with Aliens! (Review HERE)
4. Priest – During this movie, Paul Bettany rides alone on his futuristic motorcycle for days before arriving at his destination. It is one of the more humorous montage scenes of the year. And then there's the rest of this fairly lame sci-fi/vampire/horror/action/western film to sit through, featuring verbal sparring between Bettany and Cam Gigandet, a wasted Karl Urban, and horrendously bad dialogue. (Review HERE)
3. Red Riding Hood – This movie is amazing according to my favorite review comment thread participant - HERE
2. The Roommate – At least this movie didn't call itself Single White Female. Not being a remake is a plus, but being a really terrible rehash of a film, featuring a story that's been done to death is not much better. The only suspense here may come from deciding on the amount of time it takes before you turn the film off. This is the film that featured a murdered kitten to shock audiences and also features Cam Gigandet in his second appearance on this list. (Review HERE)
1. Larry Crowne – Almost as insultingly nice as it is bad. Despite being well-meaning, Larry Crowne, to me, is the biggest dud of the year. Tom Hanks' second theatrical feature he has directed pales in comparison to That Thing You Do and offers next to no entertainment value. Instead, we get Hanks in his whitey tighties, That 70s Show's Wilmer Valderama as the head of a scooter gang, Julia Roberts looking miserable, and the great Bryan Cranston somehow playing beneath himself, with dialogue that seems on par with lines from The Room. Not even co-star George Takei's, "Oh My's" were enough to save this utterly sad film. (Review HERE)
Not quite top 10 worst, but still pretty bad:
Apollo 18, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Scream 4, Sucker Punch
And that should do it for me, with this year's wrap up. Have a Happy New Year Everyone!
Here's the Top 10 of the Year Again:
2011 Films Andy Serkis Choi Min-sik Jack Black James Wan Joseph Gordon-Levitt Michel Hazanavicius Paul Giamatti Pedro Almodovar Takashi Miike Terrence Malick Tom Hanks Top 10

10 Date Ideas for Couples in Victoria, BC
Victoria's Most Romantic Places
Victoria is considered one of Canada's most romantic cities, thanks to its picturesque downtown area. It's dotted with Victorian buildings and the nearby harbour is home to most of the city's most iconic sights. The city is navigable on foot, allowing for intimate strolls by the city's charming landmarks. A horse-drawn carriage ride also promises good memories.
The Victoria Harbour ferries can take you to more of Victoria's most romantic places. You should also consider hopping on a floatplane to see the beauty of Georgia Strait and nearby Vancouver by air. Plan your escape with these date ideas for couples in Victoria, which include majestic castles and blooming gardens, as well as spa treatments just for 2.
Explore Hatley Park and Castle
A stately site you've seen in movies
The majestic Elizabethan-style castle at the heart of this national heritage site is one of Victoria's most prominent 'movie stars'. It's shown in the hit '80s TV series MacGyver and has played the role of the X-Mansion in several X-Men films. The magnificent landmark occupies an estate with beautifully manicured gardens on Sooke Road in Colwood, around a half-hour drive east from downtown Victoria. Enjoy an intimate stroll through its rose, Italian, and Japanese gardens and have your couples' shot taken at its scenic lagoon. Come in spring for a backdrop of beautiful cherry blossoms.
Location: 2005 Sooke Rd, Victoria, BC V9B 5Y2, Canada
Open: Monday–Friday from 7am to 7pm, Saturday–Sunday from 9am to 6pm
Discover beautiful flower gardens
Enjoy a romantic walk among blooming nature
Victoria's collection of beautiful gardens offers you pleasant walks among nature's artistry. Abkhazi Garden is a romantic legacy of the namesake Georgian royal couple who moved to Canada and established the gardens back in 1946. You can stroll along the gardens' pathways through sloping grounds filled with colourful Japanese maples, rhododendrons, glaciated rocks, Garry oaks, ponds, and an intimate teahouse. You might also be interested to see Victoria's other beautiful gardens including Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, and the herb and English gardens of Government House on Rockland Avenue.
Rent a double kayak
Take in the beauty of Victoria from its waterfront
With your leisurely paddle strokes, you can admire the beauty of British Columbia's capital together from water level. Various tours offer kayaking trips around Victoria Harbour. They typically start off with practice paddling on land. Then, when you're both ready, you can settle into a sturdy kayak and push off from the shore, often with an accompanying guide in a separate kayak. The best moment of a kayaking-for-two experience is at dusk, when the sun slips under the horizon and Victoria's Empress Hotel and parliament buildings light up.

Ride in a horse-drawn carriage
Sightsee Victoria like a royal couple
Enjoying Victoria's famous sites on a regal horse-drawn carriage can make up a big part of your experience. There are several tour operators providing rides in the city.

See Victoria from the air
Enjoy captivating views of British Columbia's coast from a seaplane
A scenic seaplane flight over the Gulf Islands can be a great highlight of your date out in Victoria. One of the prominent aerial tour providers operating off Victoria Harbour is Harbour Air Seaplanes. A typical flight lasts around half an hour – enough to showcase the dramatic coastlines with their spectacular tapestry of large islands and inlets. Soaring above British Columbia's lush parks and beautiful mountains, take a peek through the plane's windows or pose for your once-in-a-lifetime couples' shot.

This scenic hill near downtown Victoria provides you with a series of fun hiking trails leading up to its peak, from where you'll be able to take in 360-degree views over the city. Mount Tolmie Park is just 15 minutes' drive from the Inner Harbour area and has gravel trails that loop around its park area, meaning that you don't need special hiking skills to do it. Near the top, there's a vast concrete platform serving as an observation space. Various picnic spots offer great viewing angles, so it can be a good idea to bring you lunch on the climb.

Go on a wine tour in the Saanich Peninsula
Discover BC's beautiful wine country
Wine tours can be a great way to combine sightseeing with tasting some of the flavours of British Columbia's wine country. The main wine producing areas here include the Saanich Peninsula and the Cowichan Valley, which are home to some of the island's oldest yet most picturesque wineries. You get to explore a scenic countryside and visit vineyards that host the island's exceptional fine wines, with notable labels ranging from Averill Creek's pinot noir to Blue Grouse's Black Muscat.
Set sail on a romantic dinner cruise
With great views of Victoria's outer and inner harbour areas
You'll find no shortage of cruise operators along Victoria's harbourside, most of which offer whale-watching as part of their packages. A few, like Orca Spirit Adventures and Fantasea Charters, offer fabulous evening cruising with buffet dinners, which also show you wonderful angles of the outer and inner sections of Victoria Harbour. With most charter services, you can even map out your own personalised tour itinerary and they can help make your special day happen.

Walk the whole length of the breakwater

Pokémon Direct Rumored For February 2021
Pokémon fans can look forward to a new Nintendo direct in February as teased by a reputable Nintendo Insider. The company has also teased announcements this year.
There are some games that were already announced like Pokémon Snap and Pokémon Detective Pikachu, but they haven't received any update or release date from the developers so far. Others, like a new Pokémon Remake, have been rumored for a while now. Nintendo can also make a new Pokémon Remake in the style of Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.

As 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, the Pokémon company has launched a new website where they are teasing announcements and updates for the franchise throughout this year.
They are planning to revisit many of the different regions presented in the previous Pokémon games beginning with the Galar region in March, however, a reputable Nintendo leaker who has been correct regarding leaked Nintendo Direct announcements has suggested that they might hold a Nintendo Direct in February.
This will lineup with how earlier Pokémon games have been announced. They have usually been revealed in a similar way earlier in the year. When a new generation was announced beginning with Sun and Moon, the announcement happened in January, while the next two generations were all announced in February.
In the case of Remakes, they are usually announced earlier in the month but in the case of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they were announced in May, and the same was true for Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. In the case of Ultra Sun and Moon, they were announced in June.
However, judging by the fact that this is the 25th anniversary of the series, we can expect multiple Nintendo Direct announcements this year and February should mark the beginning of one of them. There is a good chance that a new Remake might be announced there, or an update will be shared on the older projects.

Man found lying in flat covered in blood said 'man upstairs' did it
When a man was found lying in his own flat covered in blood, he told the person who found him it was 'your man upstairs' who had assaulted him.
Mark Howie (43), of Sperrin Park in Derry, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on Sydney Olphert with intent on a date between March 31 and April 3, 2017.
Derry Crown Court heard that the victim had subsequently died but that this was unrelated to the assault.
A prosecution barrister said the victim lived in a flat on his own and Howie lived above him. On April 1, 2017, a friend of Olphert's called to have a drink with him.
Howie was in the flat and they all had a few drinks then a verbal argument broke out between the victim and the defendant over a mobile phone. This subsequently quietened down and then the third party left.
The next morning the other man called to see Olphert and found him slumped on the sofa covered in blood.
The court heard that there was 'substantial blood on the wall behind the sofa and on the ceiling.' The man asked who was responsible and Olphert said, 'your man upstairs'.
Olphert was conveyed to hospital and found to have fractures to his vertebrae, multiple fractures to his face, lacerations to his eye, and other injuries.
Howie was arrested and initially taken to Coleraine before being brought to Strand Road. As he was being brought to Derry, he volunteered some details to police.
The court heard he said: "Your man came at me with a walking stick. He hit me across the head and on the arm. I must have lost the head and beat the f--k out of him."
Clothing recovered from a washing machine in Howie's flat was found to be bloodstained and forensics matched the blood to Mr Olphert. DNA from a bloodstained walking stick was also matched with Olphert.
When Mr Olphert talked to police, he accepted he had been drinking on the night but was able to identify Howie as his attacker. When Howie was interviewed, he said he had woken up with a sore head and arm and covered in blood. He said he had been drinking with the victim and got into an argument and he claimed Mr Olphert hit him with the walking stick and after that he 'must have blacked out.'
He said he had not gone to check on the victim as he was 'scared of what he would find.' Howie said he was 'disgusted and ashamed' about what he had done.
The court heard the crime was aggravated by the fact the victim was vulnerable, was attacked in his own home, a weapon was used and no attempt was made to offer assistance.
Defence counsel Mr Stephen Mooney said his client was aware a substantial custodial sentence was inevitable. He said it was clear there had been a 'sustained violent assault' but what triggered that was 'a matter for conjecture'.
Howie was remanded in custody to be sentenced on Sept. 12.


Confusion always prevails between destiny and destination; people call it destiny those who don't have any destination. Ones who've their own goals and are working on it passionately, write their own destiny and that's called destination. Not mere a difference of words, it changes the attitude towards facing anything we come across.
People, those who don't find any difference between what they've got and what they could've achieved. They end up at blaming their destiny for their failures and scarcities of the life. The destiny snatches all the credits for their aimless harden up efforts, even if they've done. They can't appraise themselves wholeheartedly for their achievements as everything sounds like a gift of God, though it is.
People, who believe, making their 'present' better, write their own destiny. Ignoring the past and keeping their bull's eye, on the path, leading to crafting their desired future, they finally make it happen. They don't see the destiny, they believe in creating it. There will always be a reaction to their actions, whether now or later, a quote that aids in keeping them motivated.
Many people may reason it to be sourced from the environment, the lifestyle and the availability of resources. I call it, a partly true statement. People like Mr. Steven Paul Jobs, India's Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, Mr. Rajat Sharma, Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani, Mr. Ratan Tata, Mr. Stephen King, and million others, have set the examples. They've challenged their destiny irrespective of their restraining background. Separate the mindset of the people, now both are the same, the difference won't exist between destiny and destination. It's just how we feel it.
Success will come to your door.
Wrong thoughts should not come near.
Don't hope anyone will give me help.
A life-changing event, belling at your door; all you need to do is, tie your shoelaces, get on the track, stick your eyes to the finishing point and that all with a changed mindset that there's no way back and a pledge that I won't blame my destiny.
