Paan:
Wikipedia:
Paan, pan (in many Indic languages, हिन्दी : पान ), or beeda (in Tamil) is a type of Indian snack, which consists of fillings wrapped in a triangular package using leaves of the Betel pepper (Piper betle) and held together with a toothpick or a clove.Score: Kalyanji Anandji
Paan is chewed as a palate cleanser and a breath freshener. It is also commonly offered to guests and visitors as a sign of hospitality and eaten at cultural events. Paan filling is generally a mixture of various spices, fruits, and sugar. Paan makers may use mukhwas or tobacco as an ingredient to their paan fillings. Although many types of paan contain Betel nuts as a filling, many other types do not.

What's da scenario?
Here we go yo:
A Tribe Called Quest featuring Busta Rhymes - Scenario
The third single from the critically acclaimed A Low End Theory
Tribe's Second Album
Production: Skeff Anselm + A Tribe Called Quest
Released: 1992
Format: 12"
Label: Jive Records

Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Get the money:
Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.
The second single from the group's premiere album:
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Production: The RZA
Released: January 31, 1994
Format: 12" single, CD
Label: Loud Records
Of note: It's been said that Wu-Tang's signature "grimey" sound was created through the use of the ENSONIQ EPS 12-Bit sampler.
12-Bits people. That's ghetto.
From Vintage Synth:
Its 12-bit sampler is highly versatile with 40 sample rates to choose from (6.25 to 52kHz). However, higher sample rates mean less polyphony and sample time. Unfortunately sample memory is miniscule at 480k expandable up to 2.1Mb yielding from 5 to 40 seconds of sample memory. Some of the EPS's goodies include an 8 to 16 track sequencer (which steals its memory space from the same RAM that holds the samples) with quantizing, digital filters that seem like analog and preset template envelope options.The sampler was produced in 1988. Its current estimated value: $650

Make a run for the border!
A quick clip on the Indo/Pak Wagah border opening/closing ceremonies:
Wikipedia:
Wagah (Hindi वाघा, Urdu واەگه) is the only Indo-Pak road crossing between Amritsar, India and Lahore, Pakistan.In other news, an orthopedic/podiatrist clinic has recently opened just outside the border crossing; doctors are seeing wild success.
It is a ceremonial border, where, each evening, armed soldiers from each side of the border enact a particularly hostile parade while lowering their respective flags to the sounding of bugles.
Although the parade used to be hostile, over the past few years it has become much more moderate. Now soldiers from both sides of the border shake hands before closing the border gates. This is seen as the result of dialogues and improved relationship between India and Pakistan.
Now even some officers walk to other side HQ for some day to day affairs.
Financial Data via The Intarweb
Filing your 10-K or 8-K couldn't be any easier.
CFO reports on new web-based technologies that offer up time saving ways to the age old problem: submitting your company's financial data for review. Traditionally, filing options-related data or annual reports was an exercise in tiresome spreadsheet drafting and paper exchange (read: wastage).
XBRL is here to change all of that.
At its roots, eXtensible Business Reporting Language (reaaaal original) is a derivative of the XML programming language, a web-based technology that provides the end user with a type of information. XML's true benefits: easier programming, language comprehension is less intensive when compared to alternatives, and simpl(er) custom-tailoring.
More popular formats of XML such as RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and SVG (Scalable Vector Grahpics) have promoted data exchange and web graphics interaction to a level previously unseen. With XBRL, investors and clients can look forward to information disseminated quicker than before, making the stock market crunch speedier than ever.
But the real beauty comes in the form of increased accountability. From SEC Chairman Christopher Cox's speech dated Feb 9th:
"Once real time disclosure was combined with interactive data ... we began to find clues that had previously gone undetected. That led directly to the discovery of what we now know were billions of dollars of backdated stock option awards.Word to ya momz Chris. Now it's only a matter of time before we've got nerdy CEOs with minor degrees in web programming figuring out how to cheat the system.
It's because of the potential interactive data holds to give investors and analysts remarkable new insights into the disclosures we already mandate that the SEC has recently committed to a $54 million initiative to convert all of our filings, and the entire EDGAR system, to this new interactive format.
It is, after all, the 21st century. And it's high time we tap the computing power of today's technology, and take advantage of the real-time speed of the Internet."
Backdating? Pfft, that's a thing of the past son.
The Dreaded Sacred Sacrificial Ring of the Dreaded Kali
Ringo seems to be in a bit of a predicament rocking the sacrificial ring.
A short clip from Help! (1965) featuring the gents from Liverpool:
The band is chased around London by a cult associated with the Hindu Goddess Kali:
Wikipedia:
Kali (Sanskrit: Kālī, Devanāgari: काली) (Pronounced /kɑːliː/) is a goddess with a long and complex history in Hinduism. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence, while more complex Tantric beliefs sometimes extend her role so far as to be the Ultimate Reality (Brahman) and Source of Being. Finally, the comparatively recent devotional movement largely conceives of Kali as a straightforwardly benevolent mother-goddess.Excerpt from the clip-
Lennon, removing a pair of specs from his soup:
"What's this? Glasses?"
Server, with confidence:
"That's right sir. They're glasses sir."
Wikipedia:
The Beatles occasionally smoked a spliff in the car on the way to the studio during the filming of Help!, which often made them forget their lines.[88]
Wikipedia:
The Beatles later said the film was shot in a "haze of marijuana". According to Starr's interviews in The Beatles Anthology, during the Austrian Alps film shooting he and Paul ran off over the hill from the "curling" scene set to smoke a joint.
Hmm. Must've been a 'trip' shooting this, ha ha.
Finally, the imdb entry fails to list a single brown actor in the cast.
Were there any in UK around 1965? Were there any in this film?
Or was this a case of some good ol' brownface and some thick lay-it-on-me accents?
