Thor love and thunder has become a pretty popular hit since its release in theaters and Disney plus just recently, so much so that happy meal toys made its return in promotion for the film, but none of the toys look quite like the original characters, some even saying they look deformed picture
Taika Watiti has become the most entertaining on set when it came to working on set. He is of course creative, funny and all around goofy.
And when it came to all the blue screens and putting the film together, there have been plenty of times where there have been a fair share of comedic moments, like when they were filming the time when Thor was chained up.
At the film's beginning, Thor receives as a gift a pair of goats that scream outrageously. These goats are familiar to those who read the comics or know anything about Norse mythology, as they are the ones that pull Thor's chariot. In the movie, despite their irritating howls, they are a fun detail.
And even with the random goat screaming, Once one of the effects companies did a shot of the goats with the added "Taylor Swift goat remix" meme, Taika Waititi thought it was hilarious and made them scream throughout the movie as a Running Gag, and its safe to say it worked pretty well for the film
But before we get into these creative and fitting moments for thor character, some marvel trivia for you, how many costume changes were there in in the film, leave your answer in the comments down below and stick around to the end of the video to find out if your answer was correct.
We can see the obvious chemistry between Taika and Chris when during pre production Chris mentions some ideas he has for the film.
One of the weirdest scenes was actually a short of Thor trying to lay low and moving in with a normal guy with an office job, and just based on Thor character, this really wouldn't have worked out for long.
Following an interview with a couple people who had a few words to say about the film arley sorg and josh pearce, give their opinion on the comedic side of the film with josh starting off with, i absolutely loved this film, and arley following with, Yeah, I thought it was a lot of fun. I didn't like the other one, Ragnarok, all that much, so I was expecting to not like this. But the movie was really awesome! It was super funny and utilized different kinds of humor: dumb one-liners, clever humor, meta humor, visual humor, and the screaming goats were like auditory humor.
And with all of the special effects that go into this film and even previous, it's pretty wild to see Taika Watiti jump back and forth between directing and playing Korg and you can see the energies between the cast especially Chris Hemsworth a lot of the time
The floating Korg head just hovering above Taika's head as he wanders around set could be a meme within itself.
Initially Christian Bale, thought the film would be all cgi, however when he got on set he was surprised that he was going to be spending 4 hours in a chair having to do the full on makeup for his role as Gorr
And you have to be a really really good actor to put emotion into something thats pretend, for example, when Chris Hemsworth had to soak in the sunlight during one scene while he was directly in front of a blue screen, so he had to pretend there was sunlight on his face while directly standing at a blue screen. Imagination would be the key here.
And the one thing that they did provide to catch peoples attention is the one and only iconic and very daring scene of Chris Hemsworth putting down his disguise revealing who he really he, but revealing a little bit more than planned.
And funny enough, with how Jane foster looks after becoming the wielder of the hammer, the bulk of her arms are actually not real, even with the amount of hard work and training she put into bulking up, it just wasn't quit enough, especially in the arm area, so the special effects team decided to do their magic and digitally enhance them.
Thor misspells Nick Fury's name on his cell phone. We can see it in a flashback of his relationship with Jane when he calls him, and it is written "Nick Furry."
In a scene where Thor is training, you can see him wearing a cap that says: "The strongest Avenger." This is a funny detail that many may have overlooked and is typical of the humor that these films and the director of the project, Taika Waititi, tend to show.
And for the answer to our marvel trivia question, Costume designer Mayes Rubeo said that they had around 25 costume changes for Thor throughout the movie.
"The costumes are crazy. I have more costume changes in this than I think I've had in the last six films combined. Thor's sort of searching for his identity, and that's represented in his wardrobe. The costumes and the sets aesthetically match the energy of the film — they're another color to the painting," Chris explained.
The goats of course became a meme inspired by the Taylor Swift remix of I knew you were trouble. And speaking of goats, theres a moment where it seems like they cant seem to leave Thor alone
And even when you look at all of these moments, its easy to notice the how much of the film is actually real, of course the glowing eyes and the light up hammer isn't, but even with all the blue screens and green screens in the background, half of the sets are real and even the characters costumes, with Chris Hemsworth's suit, and Jane fosters.
In the golden age of comics, many female characters were portrayed as simple love interests. Unfortunately, this was the case for the earliest incarnation of Jane Foster. Created by the late Stan Lee and first appearing in 1962, she was a nurse and the basic love interest for Dr. Donald Blake, Thor's human disguise. Going by Jane Nelsen, she was the typical damsel in distress that always needed Thor to save her. Even more basic, as she was the center of a love triangle. She loved Dr. Blake and Thor, not realizing they were one and the same. Thankfully, she is much better written these days and a much more enjoyable character.
And with that bizarre scene of thor and that split, it just gave that much more of the comedic energy that the film needed, believability was at stake, however you cant deny that even though it was cheesy, it was pretty entertaining.
So what did you guys think about all of this, the memes, the bloopers and the all around comedic tension on set, what was your favorite part, let us know what your thoughts are in the comments down below, make sure your subscribed for more videos just like this, thats it for today though well see you all next time with a brand new video.

Home Library Blog ITSM vs ITIL: What's the Difference, and How Do They Complement Each Other?
One of the most common questions we hear from people that are new to the world of IT service management (ITSM) is: "What's the difference between ITSM and ITIL®?"
The most basic answer is that ITSM is the actual practice, or professional discipline, of managing IT operations as a service, while ITIL is a set of best practices that provide guidance for ITSM—but that just covers the basics. In fact, there's a lot more we can learn about the differences between ITSM and ITIL by looking at the history of IT organizations and how IT has evolved over time.
That's what we're doing in this week's blog post. We'll talk about how IT has changed from its earliest days to adopting the ITSM paradigm and how ITIL developed out of a need for standardization across ITSM organizations. We'll also cover the basic processes of ITIL and the service lifecycle, and offer some solutions for organizations that want to start taking advantage of ITIL best practices.
To begin, the ITIL 2011 glossary provides a good definition of ITSM as "The implementation and management of quality IT services that meet the needs of the business. IT service management is performed by IT service providers through an appropriate mix of people, process and information technology." The definition also recommends that reader look at the service management definition, which reads, "A set of specialized organizational capabilities for providing value to customers in the form of services."
To help put this into context, let's look at how the role of IT within organizations has transformed over the past decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, it became apparent that information technology would play an increasing role in the way humans do business for years to come. Computers, printers, networks, and telephones, along with the peripheral devices used to control them and the software that makes them function, would all become the responsibility of IT departments everywhere.
In the early days of information technology, IT departments were seen as necessary along with the associated expense rather than a value driver within the organization. There were few documented processes that governed the role of IT department employees, and the role of most IT departments was reactive (implementing break-fix solutions for users) rather than proactive (strategically implementing new services to drive value for the organization).
Reactive IT departments had mixed perceptions within organizations—as you rely on IT to keep things working, and you primarily interact with them when things are broken or you need something. Without standardized processes and streamlined communication, it was often difficult for IT departments to service their organizations effectively by resolving issues in a timely fashion or providing what we would call "good customer service."
Today, IT organizations have evolved in the way they deliver value to the organization. The ITSM paradigm has emerged as the common approach for how IT organizations deliver services and provide support. At its core, the idea of ITSM means managing IT as a set of services. It reflects the understanding that IT professionals should align their objectives with the strategic objectives of the enterprise and work to deliver value to customers. It also reflects the idea that IT exists to deliver service to its customers—both lines of business or similar departments and the employees within them.
Today, ITSM is a professional discipline that encompasses all of the activities and duties involved in designing, creating, delivering, and supporting the lifecycle of IT services within an organization. In ITSM, the definition of a "service" includes virtually everything that the IT organization is responsible for: office applications, hardware like computers, monitors, and printers, additional software installation and licensing agreements, Change Management, and Incident Management are all part of the services provided by IT organizations.
The concept of delivering IT as a service has significant implications for how IT organizations are perceived by the enterprises in which they operate. When IT departments provide effective support services for the business, they are perceived as helpers that proactively address problems and help improve business efficiency. The role of IT has also broadened beyond reactive break-fix support. IT professionals now play a greater role in designing, testing, and deploying services aligned with the strategic objectives of the business.
ITSM professionals engage in strategy generation to ensure that the goals of IT are aligned with the goals of the business.
ITSM professionals understand the need for continuous improvement—they may track certain metrics to assess the performance of the IT organization and set targets for future improvement.
ITSM professionals understand the need to plan and design services effectively, ensuring that they can meet capacity and availability requirements set by the organization.
ITSM professionals understand the importance of streamlined communication between the business (users/customers) and the IT organization, and may have implemented a ticketing system, Incident Management, or request system, or a more complete service desk solution to facilitate two-way communication between IT and users.
ITSM professionals understand the need to drive efficiency through automation and self-service—they identify and automate time-consuming tasks, and create knowledge base articles that can help users engage in self-service and reduce the number of tickets.
ITSM professionals understand the need to minimize business interruptions—they may follow a formal Change Management process to ensure that changes are conducted responsibility and do not affect the availability of critical services.
ITSM is what happens when IT departments focus on their relationship with the business, align their activities with what the business wants, and look to create continuous improvement and drive efficiency in all of their activities. This multidisciplinary approach to IT focuses on increasing the efficiency of the people, processes,and technology that make an organization function at its best.
In the 1980s, the United Kingdom experienced a growing dependency on IT throughout its departments, but without a standard set of practices for managing those services, it soon became clear that different departments were creating their own management practices for IT services. A lack of standardization meant that individual departments were spending time and effort creating their own procedures which may not be optimized or integrated with what others were doing—there was a need to develop a set of best practices for ITSM.
ITIL began as an acronym for the "Information Technology Infrastructure Library" which was published between 1989 and 1996 as a volume of 30 books, each one describing the best known practices for a specific process of ITSM. ITIL v2 was released in 2000 and 2001 as a set of nine books, with each of the original 30 processes having been grouped into a set with its most related processes. Then, in May 2007, ITIL v3 saw a complete refresh of the system with the 30 processes refined to a set of 26 processes and four functions covered in five books, each of which corresponds to one stage of the service lifecycle. Further clarifications and refinement of ITIL v3 were provided in ITIL 2011. Along the way, the full name was dropped and ITIL became the official name as opposed to an acronym. A new version, ITIL 4, is scheduled for release in early 2019.
A minimum set of ITIL best practices are contained in ISO 20000 Part 11. This is used by organizations that desire or need a certified standard with clearly defined requirements that must be met. ITIL can therefore be used in to meet the requirements set out for ISO 20000 certification.
We can understand ITIL as a regularly updated set of best practices for ITSM. For IT organizations that want to adopt the paradigm of IT as a service, the ITIL framework provides a set of processes and best practices that can be implemented by the IT organization to help provide better services to users, meet goals for service capacity and availability, and ensure that the actions of the IT organization effectively support the business objectives of the organization.
While ITSM is a professional discipline that concerns itself with the effective design, deployment, and management of IT services, ITIL is a framework that IT professionals can use to implement best practices for ITSM within their organizations and move towards a more effective IT organization that delivers exceptional value to the enterprise.
What Is the ITSM ITIL Framework?
Service Strategy: Service strategy entails the development of a strategy for the IT organization to serve its customers, typically the business to which it belongs. Service strategy begins with assessing the needs of the business and customers, then determines what services the IT organization will offer and what capabilities it should develop to meet the needs of the organization.
Service Design: Service design includes the creation, design, and modification of new and existing IT services. In this stage, IT organizations design new services for the organization and implement changes to existing services.
Service Transition: Once a service has been designed, the next step is for it to be built and deployed. This development of capabilities and deployment happens in the service transition stage. ITIL's Service Transition book also includes processes for ensuring that changes to existing services are executed in a coordinated fashion that minimizes business interruptions.
Service Operation: Service Operation is an important stage of the ITIL life cycle whose goal is to ensure that services offered by the IT organization are delivered effectively and efficiently. Service Operation includes all four functions associated with ITIL: Technical Management, Application Management, IT Operations Management, and the service desk.
Continual Service Improvement (CSI): The goal of continual service improvement is to ensure that the organization captures data, information and knowledge from its successes and failures, and uses them to continually improve the efficiency of its processes and service offerings.
The ITIL framework offers a template for modern IT organizations to implement ITSM effectively and start delivering more value to their organizations through effective and efficient service life cycle management for all IT services.
The ITSM paradigm emerged out of a need to align the goals of the IT organization with the needs of the business. ITSM and the concept of IT as a service led to the rise of help and service desks—a single point of contact between the IT organization and the business, where users could make IT related requests and report issues. ITSM grew as a professional discipline as more organizations attempted to formalize their own best practices. Even today, organizations may have some service management processes that are consistent with ITIL and others that aren't, or they may develop their own processes that suit their unique circumstances.
The ITIL framework emerged in the 1980s as a set of best practices for ITSM. ITIL brought standardization and widespread use of best practices to IT organizations around the world and it remains the leading standard for IT organizations worldwide when it comes to effective and efficient management of the IT service life cycle. ITIL is like a playbook for ITSM—it offers guidance in the most effective ways espoused by leading professionals around the world.
As IT organizations mature, they should move towards an ITIL-compliant model of ITSM that follows best practices to maximize value for the organization.

Alexander Urges Unanimous Support For Lankford Proposal to Make the Senate Function Better
Says the Senate needs a change in behavior more than a change in rules
WASHINGTON, December 19 – United States Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today urged his colleagues to support a proposal by Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) that would reinstate a bipartisan standing order adopted in 2013 to reduce the amount of post cloture debate on some nominations.
"This is what we are talking about today: Functioning as an institution—making the Senate work. We claim the Senate is unique but that is only true if it works. Sen. Lankford's proposal is modest because it would reinstate a bipartisan Standing Order that we adopted for two years, 2013 and 2014," Alexander said. "This is an opportunity to reinstate the practice of changing the rules of the Senate according to the rules. Continuing to ignore the rules will lead to ending the filibuster on legislation and destroy the uniqueness of the Senate."
Alexander spoke today at the Senate Rules Committee hearing on a proposal by Senator Lankford that would reduce the post cloture debate time on most of the president's executive branch and judicial nominees. The proposal would not change the post cloture debate time on nominees to the Supreme Court, circuit court and the president's cabinet.
Lankford's proposal would require 60 votes to pass the U.S. Senate.
Alexander's full remarks are below:
After the 1980 elections, Democrat Sen. Robert C. Byrd suddenly became Minority Leader of the Senate and Republican Howard Baker became the Majority Leader.
Baker said to Byrd, "Bob, I'll never know the rules as well as you do. Let's make a deal. I won't surprise you if you won't surprise me." Byrd said, "Let me think about it."
The next day Byrd said yes and they managed the Senate for four more years. I have heard Sen. Leahy say that it was one of the best, if not the best, times the Senate functioned as an institution.
That is what we are talking about today: Functioning as an institution—making the Senate work.
We claim the Senate is unique but that is only true if it works.
Sen. Lankford's proposal is modest because it would reinstate a bi-partisan Standing Order that we adopted for two years, 2013 and 2014.
His proposal is important because it would reinstate the practice of changing our rules according to the rules.
I hope that the committee will unanimously recommend Lankford's proposal to the full Senate.
I want to say three things about the proposal:
First, it is the same proposal that we adopted in January 2013 by a bipartisan vote of 78 to 16.
It is true that then it took 60 votes to end debate on a nomination and later that year Democrats used the nuclear option to be able to invoke cloture on nominations with a majority vote.
But that was not really a change in practice because throughout the Senate's history presidential nominees were almost always approved by majority vote.
Even when the rules permitted it, cloture was never once used to block the nomination of a Cabinet member or a federal district judge.
The only time it was used to block a Supreme Court Justice was in 1968 in a strange episode involving Abe Fortas. Cloture was never used to block a Circuit Judge until Democrats blocked nominees of George W. Bush in 2003.
The point is, the custom has always been that presidential nominations are decided by a majority vote. So, by custom and by rule, Sen. Lankford's proposal is the same as the 2013 Standing Order.
Second, this is an opportunity to reinstate the practice of changing the rules of the Senate according to the rules. That is, by securing 67 votes if changing the Standing Rules and 60 votes if passing a new standing order.
Each party has demonstrated we know how to do it the wrong way. The problem with that, as Sen. Carl Levin has said, is that a Senate in which a majority can change the rules anytime it wants is a Senate without rules.
Continuing to ignore the rules will lead to ending the filibuster on legislation and destroy the uniqueness of the Senate.
In Sen. Byrd's last speech, which was before this committee in 2010, he implored us "never ever, ever" to get rid of the filibuster. It is, he said, the guardian of minority rights and an essential engine for consensus.
Third, the Senate needs a change in behavior more than a change in rules.
We changed rules in 2012 and 2013 to make it easier for President Obama and his successors.
We eliminated secret holds, required 72 hours to review legislation, made 373 nominations privileged, eliminated confirmation of 163 major positions and eliminated the need to confirm 3163 noncontroversial positions.
We adopted several measures to speed up the motion to proceed and shortened post-cloture debate.
Still, since then the nuclear option has been used twice. Unnecessary obstruction is commonplace today. There is always one senator who can find a way to make the place not work well.
The change in behavior we need boils down to one word: restraint. Sens. Baker and Byrd were successful because senators did not insist on using every right and prerogative.
Motions to proceed and unanimous consent requests were routinely granted. Senators didn't block other senators' amendments; they simply voted against them. Presidential nominations were almost never blocked by requiring a cloture vote.
Last summer, a Supreme Court Justice was asked how justices are able to get along when they have such different philosophies and such controversial issues. The Justice's reply was, "each of us tries to remember that the constitution and the institution are more important than our own opinion."
Sen. Lankford's proposal is an opportunity to demonstrate that United States Senators can remember that the institution is more important than our own opinions.
I hope we will unanimously recommend it to the full Senate.

Discussion in 'Logitech Revue' started by danyay, Oct 11, 2010.
I can't seem to find a concrete answer to this.
I have the Dish VIP 722 or something similar. Essentially, it has two tuners powering TVs in different rooms. The downside is that one is coax - aka, standard definition.
Will they "talk" if both devices are merely connected to the wifi network? The page suggests the ability to connect via ethernet as a benefit, as in, this would then enable wireless connectivity with your Dish box.
However, I want to put my Revue in another room from my Dish receiver, in hopes that I am then able to watch HD recorded content on the second TV. Even if it's SD only, I'd still like the box to be in a different room than the Dish receiver.
Basically there are 2 ways to connect your Dishnet DVR box with the Revue.
1. Basic way: Connect your Dishnet DVR to a router through ethernet, and have your Revue in the other room using wireless connection. You will be able to view all of your recorded content. (No Charge) So yes, this will work for you as you can have the Revue in another room.
2. Enhanced way: Connect Dishnet DVR straight to the Revue which will automatically detect your DVR and you will be prompted by your DVR to accept the integration. It provided some enhanced features listed below. As well as a $4 monthly charge by Dishnet to use the service.
Supported models include, the DISH Network ViP-722K, ViP-722 and ViP-622.
DVR Recordings are indexed and included in Quick Search Box results.

Christabel Burton – Anglo Irish woman who defied the Nazis
Christabel Burton was an Anglo-Irish woman who defied the Nazis during World War II by outsmarting interrogators to help free her husband from a concentration camp prison.
She later set up a fund for families who opposed the Nazis and also spent much of her life confronting holocaust deniers.
Burton, whose mother was from Corofin in Co Clare, was named after the suffragette Christabel Pankhurst. She was brought up in London and married a German lawyer named Peter Bielenberg in 1934.
Burton took German citizenship which meant that she had to give up her British citizenship. As she handed in her British passport a German embassy official warned her that she had not made a good exchange.
Bielenberg and Burton moved to Germany after they had got married. Burton was a music student in Hamburg. She was training to be an opera singer and sang with Irish tenor John McCormack, one of the major opera stars of the day.
Bielenberg was not allowed to practise law in Germany because he had refused to join the Nazi party. He volunteered to join the army. However, he and Burton were so disgusted by Kristallnacht in 1938, when jewish shops and businesses were attacked and looted by Nazi mobs, that they decided to leave Germany and live in Ireland.
They changed their mind and decided to remain in Germany after their friend Adam von Trott zu Solz convinced them that it was their 'patriotic duty' to stay and fight Nazism. Von Trott had wanted the Germans themselves to stop Hitler. He flew to London to try to persuade the British leaders to delay an attack on Germany.
He believed that the German people would be more likely to back Hitler if the country was under attack. However, it was too late as the British were ready for war and there was no turning back.
Bielenberg, von Trott and another man, Fritz-Dietlof Graf von der Schulenburg, had some involvement in a failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
The plan had been to kill the Nazi leader with a briefcase bomb on 20 July 1944. The part that von der Schulenburg and Bielenberg played in the plot was only publically acknowledged for the first time at Ireland's first Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration in January 2003.
When the plot failed von der Schulenburg was arrested and in August 1944, he was tried and hanged from meat hooks.
Bielenberg and Burton continued to associate with anti-Nazi groups. Eventually Bielenberg and von Trott were arrested by the Gestapo.
Burton had Nazi acquaintances who were able to pull some strings so that she was able to visit her husband at Ravensbruck concentration camp.
During the visit the couple clasped hands which gave Bielenberg a chance to give Burton a seemingly unremarkable matchbox. However, the matchbox contained information that he wanted to pass on to his wife.
He had told her all of the cover stories that he had told his interrogators since he had been arrested.
Once Burton knew what Bielenberg had told the Gestapo she was able provide him with alibis that confirmed what he had said.
She went to the Gestapo headquarters and demanded to be interviewed. The interview was tense and hostile. Burton was short-sighted, which helped her convey powerful body language in the circumstances. She was able to outstare the Gestapo officer who was interviewing her.
During the interview, Burton used the stories that her husband had given to her. She also played on her Irish roots and her family links with the press baron, Lord Rothermere, who had once been a Nazi sympathiser.
Following, Burton's interview, Bielenberg was released to an army punishment camp. He managed to avoid the punishment camp due to an administrative error and went to live with his family in the Black Forest.
After the war, Bielenberg and Burton returned to Ireland and lived on a farm in Co Carlow. Two of their sons married two of the daughters of von der Schulenburg.
Burton set up a fund to help the families of the Resistance to Hitler. The 20th July Memorial Fund was set up to support the children of Nazi opponents who had been killed during the war. It captured the imagination of the public who gave generously to the fund.
She also refused to allow Holocaust deniers to misrepresent the horrific actions of the Nazis during the war and would often confront them.
Burton released her autobiography, The Past Is Myself, in 1968. It was translated into seven languages sold half a million copies. It was also made into a TV drama titled 'Christabel' by the BBC, featuring Elizabeth Hurley.
Bielenberg and Burton lived in Ireland for the rest of their lives. Bielenberg died in 2001 and Burton died in 2003.
