Ajax and Alkmaar: Match abandoned after a bizarre incident
This soccer match was abandoned in 36 minutes. The Goalkeeper was redcarded for what????. A crazy hooligan was running towards him, what should he be doing be kind to him or ignore him. It is obvious that the the goalie put out all his frustration on the hooligan but he doesnt deserve a red card for that.The ref was so unkind to punish him for beating up a hooligan.People get away with a lot in Soccer but this Goalie did no wrong.....

Bartender - frozen Daquiri (Hemingway)
This anime series on the different cocktails and their background stories is amazing. Love each episode and the way it correlates the person coming into the bar with the history behind the drink. This episode about Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" is a good and a moving one.....

2% interest Loans - P2P Lending a new Phenom in China
A TOI Article about online P2P lending in China
By Zhao Ying
Borrowing money from strangers may sound like an odd proposition to some. But China's farmers are taking advantage of online peer-to-peer (P2P) lending to build better futures. Yang Yanxia, 32, mother of two from Dingxi city in northwest China's Gansu province, borrowed 3,500 yuan ($543) via Yinongdai.com, a P2P lending website, at the end of 2009 to help build her farming business. Dingxi is one of the nation's most impoverished regions, owing to low agricultural yields caused by chronic drought.
Yang's lenders were from first- and second-tier cities in China, who charged her a fixed interest rate of around 2% - much lower than the rates typically charged by Chinese banks. Before 2009, Yang's family earned only $1,553 annually from their potato farm, and even that was subject to the whims of Mother Nature. With the loan, Yang and her husband were able to rent a plot of fertile land that effectively doubled the size of cultivable land available to them. The family's new farms brought in $5,434 in just six months.
Yang then used the profits to construct a barn to raise cattle, which she believes will provide a more reliable source of income. The world's first P2P lending service was launched in the United Kingdom in 2005 and has since become popular worldwide. Most of China's state-owned commercial banks are unlikely to lend to people like Yang, either because the loans sought are too small or because they have nothing to offer as collateral. China's P2P lending platforms give people like Yang an alternative.
Prospective borrowers must provide identification as well as proof of personal assets for a credit rating from the P2P platforms. Lenders can pick who they want to lend to based on the borrower's objectives, the terms of repayment and the interest rates offered by borrowers. Since Yang was unfamiliar with computers, she contacted a local micro-credit service centre for the online procedure. "We submitted her information to the P2P website after examining her credit and family situation carefully," says Yang Farong, director of the Minfuxinrong Micro-credit Service Center. The centre has been helping the people of Dingxi acquire loans for the past five years.
Since 2009, when Yinongdai.com started offering P2P services, 217 farming households in Dingxi have benefited to the tune of $119,544 in low-interest loans, Yang Farong says. Yang Yanxia only had to pay an extra $10.50 to the local micro-credit service centre, in addition to her $543 principal. "I never expected to borrow money from strangers. It's so exciting to know that personal credit still has value," she says. Canadian-Chinese Robert Li, 15, who studies at the Shanghai American School, became a P2P lender two years ago. "The amount of money spent on a single meal in the city can be enough to change the life of a family," says Li, who has lent $4,416 in loans so far with the help of his family.
Li believes that direct online lending is more transparent than charitable donations, and allows lenders greater discretion in providing loans. "Families with school-age children, particularly girls, are our primary targets," Li's mother Vivian says. The fact that there have been no delays in the repayment of loans offered through Yinongdai.com has also impressed her. "This proves that disadvantaged people can still have credit," she says. So far, Yinongdai.com has disbursed $434,705 in loans to nearly 1,000 rural families across China.
As a new form of micro-financing, P2P lending "not only fills in gaps left by the banking system, but also offers convenience to rural borrowers," says Bai Chengyu, secretary-general of China Association of Microfinance. However, P2P services that are designed to help people in need won't always be able to count on a steady supply of funds, as investors invariably seek higher profits amid inflation risks, Bai says.
Can such a venture work in India. The first problem is Collection. Second who will lend money at 2% when our FD rates are hovering around 8-10%.Moreover this is online ,the legal tender of such a transaction is always difficult. Rather than a P2P which is unorganised network i would prefer that reputed banks like ICICI,HDFC can provide this banking service by using their banking facilities to connect borrowers and micro lenders like salaried employees.They can even show the credit history of the borrower and rate them and divide them into categories and if they have good history of repayment then they can have lower interest rates like 2%.and other categories can have slightly higher interest rates like 4-6% but never above 6%. But we have to understand that the lender is basically giving up on savings as he is lending money at lower interest rates to complete strangers. We are dealing with honesty and credibility here which is very difficult to rely on these days.

Death Note - Anime and Manga Ending
Have seen the live action version of Death Note a few years back but just cam across the anime episodes.The anime version was much more darker and tragic than the live action one.The final two episodes were a real treat.
The death of Yagami Light is closer to the Manga Version.

Why the IITs are NO GOOD for India
IT long considered to be the beacon of education in India is nothing more than a mirage of brilliance!!!!
How else would you characterize the leading technology university in a country which till date has not yet produced any one groundbreaking technology nor the talent to atleast reverse engineer the products of the west.As school and college dropouts in the United States come out with more innovations here in India most of the so called "intellectuals" doesnt even have the talent to produce a pen.No Indian company has succeeded yet to replicate the German technology in Reynolds pen.Most of these IITians just look for some desk jobs in MNCs overseas with a plush salary. There is hardly any innovation involved in such jobs but they are more keen to have a salary to settle their family and does not seem to have any interest in actually producing something. India needs more technology than any other country in this world. We have 400 Million people living in dire poverty,who needs cost effective technology to reach them. The technology produced by the West is just too costly for most Indians.If India had the capacity to produce airplanes that would result in a huge cost savings in the purchase of military jets and the purchase of airliners by the private airline companies. Just like the Space market where the Indian rocket is ten times cheaper than the same payload rocket of any other country.We would always be produce more cost effective technology than the western world but there is simply no initiative or positive attitude towards any kind of technological innovation in India.We are happy with whatever the west gives us and ready to pay a premium price for it.The PRICE OF OUR INCOMPETENCE.

Win a Nano for Family planning
Rajasthan health officials has finally started to do some proactive policy in curbing the Indian population. Giving incentives like Nano,refrigerator,TV Sets etc. For years population is the only reason why India is not a developed country and also the reason why India with double digit growth for the next 40 years still will have around 400 million in poverty in 2050.Curbing the population is the only way we can eradicate poverty as no matter how much we produce it is never going to be enough.We all should encourage such policies like these.

England : Mecca for terrorists and Corrupt outlaws
England seems to encourage people with money running from justice to enter their country for their huge investment bolstering the UK economy. Some reports suggests that billions of pounds pour into UK as a safe haven for corruption money. Especially outlaws from the Middle east pour their money in UK. Chechen terrorists and ex KGB outlaws from Russia also find a safe haven for their huge purse as they cannot be prosecuted there with a friendly govt. The UK govt seems to want to project itself as a investment opportunity for Criminals,terrorists and corrupt govt officials . As the following news report shows their hypocrisy by paying "lip service" to Arab Spring and Democracy at the same time projecting itself as a safe haven for the corrupt officials to park their money stolen from Egypt.

Its Anand V Gelfand for the World Chess Crown
The Challenger for Anand has been decided. Boris Gelfand won the FIDE Candidate trophy to earn the right to challenge Anand for the crown. I was hoping for an Anand-Carlsen meet but i think this would also be a good match as both of them are known to be strong in their openings and very good positional strategies.Looks like we would have a long drawn out games with lot of draws. Unless one of them decided like Topalov did in the previous Championships to come out firing with an aggressive style we would probably have a lot of Draws. But still too early to call as the match is scheduled to be held next year so a lot of time for analyzing and preparation.

Hope Dallas wins the NBA
Cause Dirk Nowitzki deserves it
Once my favorite Boston Celtics went out of the NBA,I will be supporting
Dallas Mavericks cause Dirk Nowitzki is such a great player that he shouldnt retire without winning a ring. This is because he is simply one of the greats of our times
I still remember when i used to watch Dirk and Nash play together for the Mavericks in the playoffs,

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have diagnosed myself to have Restless Leg Syndrome("RLS") For many years i couldnt explain this feeling i get to shake my leg every time i sit down. Now i got it
From Wikipedia-
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) or Wittmaack–Ekbom syndrome is characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, and even phantom limbs.[1] Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.
Looks like the most common cause for this syndrome is "Iron deficiency".
RLS is generally a lifelong condition for which there is no cure. Symptoms may gradually worsen with age, though more slowly for those with the idiopathic form of RLS than for patients who also suffer from an associated medical condition. Nevertheless, current therapies can control the disorder, minimizing symptoms and increasing periods of restful sleep. In addition, some patients have remissions, periods in which symptoms decrease or disappear for days, weeks, or months, although symptoms usually eventually reappear. Being diagnosed with RLS does not indicate or foreshadow another neurological disease.

Skylar Grey - I Love the way you Lie - Lyrics
Love The Way You Lie Lyrics
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why i'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glasses shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you always win
Even when i'm right
Cos you feed me fables from your head
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
So maybe i'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Til the walls are going up
In smoke with all our memories
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why i'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glasses shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you always win

Made in India : Shouldnt we be consuming Indian products to preserve jobs in India
Given the consumption pattern of the Indian middle class Should we be conscious to buy Indian products
Look at the Mecca of Capitalism USA even they are looking forward to buying only American (Swadeshi)Products
Link to video
Hopefully our consumption of Indian products will have a Job multiplier effect on the Indian social sector. Already the Indian Govt has created hundreds of thousands of jobs in USA(thru the nuclear deal,purchase of Boeing aircrafts,defence spending etc) As if they need it more!!!
atleast as Indian citizens we should be conscious of buying only Made in India products.
As a first step watch all Indian movies in theatres and all Hollywood movies in pirated DVDs or the Internet.

Sexiest Song ever - Jason Mraz - Butterfly
Lyrics
I'm taking a moment just imagining that I?m dancing with you
I?m your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on
Until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight
You may unfasten them if you like
That?s if you crash and spend the night
But you don't fold, you don't fade
You got everything you need, especially me
Sister, you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk
Sister, you've got it all
You got it all
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip then bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
'Cause they're the perfect jumping off point
Getting closer to your butterfly
Will you float on by?
Oh, kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade
You got everything you need, especially me
Sister, you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk
Sister, you've got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, woo, hey baby, uh
You've got it all
Doll, I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you upside down, slide in, slide out
Slide over here, climb into my mouth now child
Butterfly well you landed on my mind
Damn right you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
And now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I want to fly with you and I don't want to lie to you
'Cause I, 'cause I can't recall a better day
So I?m coming to shine on the occasion
You're an open-minded lady, you've got it all
And I never forget a face
Except for maybe my own, I have my days
And let?s face the fact here
It's you who's got it all
You know that fortune favors the brave
Well let me get paid while I make your breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk
Sister, you've got it all
I can't recall a better day
So I?m coming to shine on the occasion
Hey sophisticated lady, oh you got it all
You got it all, you got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all! Hey! You got it all, woo!
You got it all
You got it all
You got it all
Butterfly, baby, well you got it all

Expect fatter pay packet in new year
Article in TOI on hiring in 2011
NEW DELHI: Bountiful days are in store on job street in the New Year, as in-bloom-again industry is expected to accelerate hiring by as much as 20 per cent and reward employees with an identical hike in salaries.
Notwithstanding a cautious start, hiring activities gathered momentum in the second half of 2010 and companies are estimated to have created over a million jobs in the organised sector alone.
Led by fast-growing sectors such as telecom, consumer durables and real estate, HR experts feel that hiring is most likely to jump 20 per cent in 2011. With escalation of the talent war between companies, pay packets too are expected to climb at a rate of about 20 per cent, they opined.
"There would at least be 20 per cent more hiring at the starting level and may be 10 per cent more at mid-management level as compared to second half of 2010. Almost all sectors of Indian economy would hire (in 2011)," staffing services firm Futurestep's Country Manager Asim Handa said.
Futurestep is part of global HR firm Korn/Ferry International.
Improving economic conditions, coupled with many companies' aggressive expansion plans, are expected to further fuel hiring activities, especially in the first half of 2010.
Recruitment firm TeamLease Services' Vice President, Rituparna Chakraborty, said the average hiring increase would be "anywhere between 10 to 18 per cent across sectors next year".
Global consultancy firm Deloitte India's Leader (Human Capital Advisory Services) P Thiruvengadam said recruitment levels have significantly improved in all sectors this year.
The sectors definitely creating jobs (next year) would be healthcare, life sciences, retail, infrastructure and manufacturing, among others, he added.
Online job portal Monster.com's Managing Director (India/ Middle East/South East Asia), Sanjay Modi, said India is going to emerge as a huge sourcing ground for global jobs across segments, positions and profiles.
Meanwhile, compensation is also likely to sail northward in 2011, as entities would mainly look to retain talent.
"I do not anticipate huge increases in salaries (in 2011), but performance would be rewarded and the levels of increase could be of the order of 11 to 18 per cent," Deloitte India's Thiruvengadam said.
TeamLease Services' Chakraborty said the hiring sentiment would be positive, especially for sectors such as consumer durables, FMCG, real estate and telecom.
"Salary growth will range anywhere from 10 to 20 per cent across these sectors next year," she noted.
According to Monster.com's Modi, organisations would have to look at new ways of structuring compensation — by considering a bonus, incentives and stock options, among other steps — to motivate and retain talent.
The country's organised sector is estimated to have generated more than 1.1 million jobs this year, a recent survey by staffing services firm Ma Foi Randstad showed.
Mirroring the improved labour market situation, TeamLease Services' net employment outlook — a measure of hiring prospects — surged to 68 per cent in the December quarter from 47 per cent in March quarter.

Nice Lecture Below
The Lecture on Probability theory is really refreshing especially the part about the Probability theory used in mail servers for filtering Spams.Bill gates using Bayesian theorem to filter spams amazing but the fact that a group of words cannot be filtered (practically impossible)but individual word can be filtered easily is new to me. Mathematics are always useful in every field and the final case study given by the professor on Statistician's lie is good. The example given Probability theory used in Game shows is also good.
Lecture on Probability theory and the internet
October 21, 2010 - In recent years, probability theory has come to play an increasingly important role in computing. Professor Sahami gives examples of how probability underlies a variety of applications on the Internet including web search and email spam filtering. This lecture is offered as part of the Classes Without Quizzes series at Stanford's 2010 Reunion Homecoming.
Mehran Sahami, PhD, is an associate professor of computer science and the department's associate chair for education. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, he was a Senior Research Scientist at Google.

Television is so outdated
I get a feeling that TV is going to be outdated very soon.With the advent of broadband connectivity i can watch any show or movie in my media enhanced Laptop.I can download any movie or TV Show free of cost(peer to peer sites).I dont have a STB in my home i get all the free channels in my cable for just 90 Rs per month.I'm comfortable with that.Moreover most of the channels are streaming live TV on internet for free.(NDTV Hindu,Times Now,CNN IBN etc).In the future investing in PC cum TV hardware will be profitable than a DTH Platform cause you can get 2 at the cost of one.

Shutter island
If a movie is made by an Oscar award winning Director like Martin Scorcese and Leonardo di Caprio plays the leading role you expect a master piece.Shutter island is a psychological movie about a facility for the criminally insane.The tension and the thrill is maintained throughout the movie and the climax is a good one but something is amiss in this movie.I liked the dream sequences of Edward Daniels(the leading character) especially the one with his wife played by Michelle williams.
Got a script of the movie as well i have uploaded it to esnips.
