What is it about the end of the world that brings out the cannibals? The Day seems set in the same exact universe as Cormac McCarthy's The Road, with five survivors traveling on foot through a gray, dreary, post-apocalyptic America in search of food and shelter. It's not a carbon copy of that book (or its cinematic adaptation), but director Douglas Aarniokoski is more than willing to eagerly set up camp in that world. Does The Day bring anything of its own to the table?
Not quite, but it's brutal and grim enough to satisfy most fans of this type of rain-soaked sci-fi gloom. The Day is basically a siege movie, wherein our tiny band of survivors find themselves trapped in an abandoned house, outnumbered by a ruthless cannibal gang. No one wants to be eaten (would you?), so they take what weapons they have, board up the windows, and fight for their lives.
If cannibals weren't enough, the bond between the group is at the breaking point. Each survivor has been pushed to their own personal limits for violence, and their darkest natures have been revealed to each other in the process. How this plays out provides The Day with its most interesting dynamic, particularly the sticky relationship between the characters played by Shawn Ashmore, Shannyn Sossamon, and Ashley Bell. The leader of the troupe is Dominic Monaghan, who brings a welcome dash of optimism to a seriously downbeat tale.
Ashley Bell, who impressed in The Last Exorcism, continues to pick tough, interesting genre roles. Her character, Mary, is a psychologically scarred hard-ass with pitch black eyes that are haunted by experiences no one should ever have to suffer. Those eyes are the best special effect in the whole film, and they're all Bell. The Day is obviously a B-picture, but she's bringing her A-game. It's appreciated.
A low budget might force a filmmaker (like Aarniokoski) to rely too much on computer-generated blood effects, but it doesn't force a film to be derivative. The Day's cannibalization of other, better films is its downfall; there's just not enough unique material here to nourish. If you can overlook that, you'll find a standard bleak post-apoc action film with some thought-provoking character beats. If you can't, then The Day is just another rough, rainy trudge through a really crappy vision of one possible future.

Coming into force from the start of this season, F1 teams are restricted to a total of 60 operational staff at each event.
Those employees who are not directly involved in the operation of the car, such as the catering crew, sponsor representatives and marketing personnel, do not count as part of this limit.
However, following discussions with teams, there has been no agreement on whether or not physios should be formally included, as the extent of their involvement with the car varied throughout the grid.
Speaking ahead of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, F1 race director Charlie Whiting said that he would include physios as 'operational staff' if their duties expanded beyond a pure driver training role.
"There was a division of opinion [among teams] over whether a physio should be included, because it became clear that physios did different things for different teams," explained Whiting.
"Some physios would literally only look after the driver, pat him on the head when he wanted it, feed him, give him drink, and hold his umbrella. So how could you say that he was involved in the operation of the car?
"But some of them operated a pit board, or fitted tyre blankets. Those sorts of things.
"I felt that the best interpretation was that if a physio was just doing what everyone would think a physio should be doing, and not doing any other tasks, they should not be counted in the 60. Some teams disagree, but we've made our position clear."
The disagreement between teams over whether or not physios do count has even gone as far as some outfits suggesting they may challenge the FIA stance with the race stewards, because they are counting their physios as one of the 60, while others are not.
Whiting said that a couple of outfits had already been forced to change their weekend operational plans because of the new rules.
"At least two teams have had to change the way they work, as in give someone else the job of doing the pit board so it is not the physio," he said.
What article 27.6 of the F1 Sporting Regulations says...
27.6 No competitor may have more than 60 operational staff at an Event with access to the Reserved Areas from the start of initial scrutineering until two hours after the start of the race. However, during the period starting 45 minutes before the start of the first formation lap until 15 minutes after the start of the race the number of operational staff is unlimited.
For the avoidance of doubt staff whose duties are solely connected with hospitality, team motorhomes, sponsors, marketing, public relations, security or driving trucks to or from the Event are not considered operational staff.
Similarly, one medical doctor, any reserve driver or team President, Chairman or Managing Director will not be included in the above figure.
In addition, each Competitor will be allowed ten single race staff for the Championship season that will not be counted within the operational staff limit.
A list of all operational, exempt and single race staff must be submitted to the FIA prior to each Event.

Business Case for Diversity, My Foot
May 27, 2016
While the fits and starts demarcating a quarter-century's worth of work can seem like an eternity for an organization, there are some constants that thread through that length of time.
We're hearing more people talk about engagement for contractors and temporary staff, or contingency labor. While this sounds great in theory, how plausible is it? And does it carry the same weight as engaging our direct hires?
— Enough Worries, project manager, architectural manufacturing, Memphis
If you have active matters with any federal agencies, expect for them to be on hold. Please remember that while the EEOC and other agencies might be temporarily out of business, the laws that they enforce are not.

Re: Teddy's Celebration of Life Friday (22 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My husband wanted his ashes sprinkled around the back yard, his favorite place and it is cold/winter and he is still "in my bedroom" I kind of find it hard to part with im now, no fancy urn , as I was not supposed to keep him. I think me and the girls will hold on to him till the Spring. Sounds eerie but I just know he is there in my room in some form and it is comforting. Well, maybe there will be a warm weekend yet to come. The kids forgot about him in my room. Lainy, I'm glad everything is going so well for you. I didn't think about the cologn thing as I need to let go and not live in so much pain, but my 10 year old seems to have snuck in and sleeps with me here and there and hate to say it but I love the company but I gotta get her back in her room, as I don't believe in kids taking over the parents room. Have a great service!

Re: Hospice Bad Experience-Update (24 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Lainy it makes me ill too. You remember my husband has the worse unmanageble pain from this cc and was at an 8-9 every day for three months and went through nerve blocks and two morphone pumps and they were trying everything. we had no hospice facilities so they could visit the house. The would PLAN to stop by every two days, if you called cause you needed help or answers , she may say she'd stop by and hours woudl go by HOURS. no call. I would have to call and ask when she was coming. I would almost tell her what i needed, pads for bedsores (oh and dont' worry, I;ll get someone to help me apply them) and sponge swabs to keep mouth moist..got bags of those delivered eventually. Overall, I was hospice to my husband every minute. I also said since he couldn't communicate can we up the dose on morphien to make him more comfortable cause he can't push all his bolus buttons, I had to do it every 15 minutes for one and every 3 hours on the other one. Shoot he wasn't gonna get up anymore, catheter was in, too weak. Might as well let him feel nothing right? Well they too said they can't do that unless he needs it . HELLO HE has like two days left !!! Lainy, the only thing I hold on to is that he died at home in great care, with me. After these stories, I am glad they didnt' have a facility. I know now what to share with others on how care SHOULD be. The morphine pump company and the in home nursing care seemed better than hospice. I am still suffering memories of Tad's last days and can't get them out of my head. Someday I hope only to see him as we were and as he was before the cancer, cause it is so painful now for me. I wish you a special funeral day. One thing I learned that has worked for me on big issues that take over your mind, is pray to God and ask for memory healing for those hospice bad feelings and maybe you will wake up one morning and the weight will be lifted. Worth a shot.

Re: Swollen Tummy (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My husband's tummy got really large over a few days. Turns out he was filing up with urine. They put a catheter in him and it all drained and he was back to normal. No idea if this related. He was with Hospice when this happened. To be honest, I told them about it and they knew what to do. Prior to hospice, it was not so large that we were alarmed to tell the doc.

Re: TO Kate & Margaret When Journey Ends at Home (14 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm sad because in my state there is no 24/7 hospice care. they come in for work requests/orders and leave. No facilities. I had no choice but to be HOSPICE myself, Granted my husband never had better care or company! We took turns holding his hand, turning his positions, sit up, side of bed, back in bed, on side. Long hard days but he was never alone until he sunk into that deep sleep till he passed. I wish I felt I could brag about Hospice as you all do, but I do agree spending the last week to the last second with my husband, although very intense and scary for my kids, he was suffering greatly and it was so hard but at least we were all together in the end. I would have been very upset if he died in a facility and I wasn't there. God bless you all. I most likely will not be back on line again.

Re: My husband died yesterday (27 replies, posted in General Discussion)
to KevinKY - you are so lucky you had a hospice facility option. In MS and TN there are no hospice facilities, you have no choice but to die at home. It is awful, horrifying to the children and the vision of the end stays in your head forever. Only if the patient has a medical issue that puts them in the hospital can they have hospice attend to them and they may pass there. Hospice came in only for things I needed, oxygen delivery, catheter insertion, bedsore adhesive pads. They stayed no more than the time they needed and were gone. Honestly there was nothing for them to do. They came at the end, to do paperwork and await the funeral service car to come for pickup. I was not sure if I wanted to drive to a facility, if there was one, to visit and what if I missed his last breath, and I didnt' ahve the kids with me. the schedule would have been intense, in the end, we were able to sit with him every hour and help him adjust his postion, they don't have someone sit by your bed 24 hours in any facility I know. He got intense attention and love, but yes, it was awful to see . I can't say too much about Hospice, I felt I was Hospice! I just wish everyone the best help they can get.

Re: My husband died yesterday (27 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Unfortunatley sharing the burden does not help or make me feel better. It is my loss and I will be me in my house raising kids alone. No escape and no options. I'm sorry .... It has been interesting to read how many people this cancer hits through this site, but nothing comforts the pain as it can't be shared, it is for me and my family to live with and live through. I pray that so many that get this, LIVE and have success beating this thing, I pray that some research in the future can detect this ugly thing early, but for those that are unfortuantley, my heart goes out to each one of you as it has been a awful painful upsetting experience for me as a caregiver and now a widow at 48. This experience has been awful for my kids and my worst struggles are yet to come working full time and raising kids with no family or friends that can help. God bless everyone, and thanks for this site and letting people know THEY ARE NOT ALONE.

Topic: My husband died yesterday (27 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Tad died yesterday morning. Having someone suffer and die in your home is the worst experience. It was horrific for my kids to watch and toward the end, he went into a sleep type coma, mouth open, eyes open rolled back, gasping for air for days. Finally after 4 days he passed, I was holding his hand alone with him, by chance, so that was a personal moment. All we can remember is this last week and how he looked and we can't get any other memory or vision in our head. Tad was diagnosed last Dec 24th, had a whipple in Jan and treatment just didn't work in the long run. It was a awful last few months but we are all glad it is over. Good luck for all of you dealing with this ugly cancer and for those having in care-giving roles.

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Wow Pam/cherbourg, you are absolutely right. This is an angle to the monster that no one is experiencing and my husband and I honestly believe we are in good hands and they are trying everything. How many people on here have an external morphine pump AND an implanted morphine pump plus had a nerve block. And on top of that have all normal labs but show nodes infected with cancer. I cna't find anyone. Therefore maybe in the future there will be someone else similar and I will be the one to be their shoulder. Right now we are shifting off the external pump as it messed with your mind and we are increasing the pump hooked to his spinal fluid. I even heard some people drive with the implanted one which made me feel maybe he will get his mind back when we get off the external pump that goes into his port . It is a long process to gradually shift, you have to avoid withdrawl from one and at the same time keep the levels working on pain mgmt. Today we drop the external pump down a notch, and he is paranoid but I made the doctor increase the implanted one which we call "the hockey puck" and make it provide additional Bolus' every 3 hours not 4. We also need to increase his xanax. His worst nightmare, worse than pain at 10, is having an anxiety attack!! My story is differnt, I am different, my view of how this affects my family and relationship and life is different, I may be more selfish than others and just overall unhappy, but we are working a plan and don't know how it will end up. Thansk again, for your kind words and support!!!!

I will talk to the oncologist today about what next to pursue. But you know what, my husband is not interested in other opinions. He likes who is helping him and he almost is content if it can't be helped here, that is his path. He wont' travel and hates any appointment more than an hour long. His 1 mile walk at night takes like an hour, he walks so slow, it is hard to want to go with him except I keep him from falling in a sideroad ditch when he loses his balance. I apprecaite all your suport , from everyone, but how we choose to handle this will be between us and our doctor. I think next time I post, I will only do it when there is something positive.

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Actuallywe are an old couple, not young, married 20 years and I am not the slightest bit upset or scared. You can ask anyone who knows me. They even said they know if he died tomorrow, I would just handle it and go on cause my dad raised me to to be self sufficient etc etc and to persevere. I will admit that I have not been as happy in my marriage over the last few years so when this happened, I think I was less upset. I just take things as they come. I have no interest in a counselor. My husband has one to help him wiht his stuggles and to stay optimistic. I have to work and take care of kids and pets and home and I have enough on my plate. I have lots of people helping with my husband each day so I am not overloaded. It actually is working out well. I hate seeing him sickly and weak and boney and hurting but whatever happens we will both be fine. As my husband says, it is in God's hands and he is a major christain!

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
he does it for exercise and he is weak. The doctor we have now will not be offended if I suggest other opinions. But the last oncologist we saw did cop an attitude when we told him we were switching oncologists to one the surgeon suggested and the one he sends all his cc patients to. Things will be ok. But honestly, all his labs are normal. For all the other cc folks they have labs with other results show up. My husband's only inclination of cancer is a catscan. Who knows why his labs are normal when we know he has cancer activity!!?? He is a bizarre case but we are comfortable with the services we are recieving. Everythign will be fine.

We are very comfortable and confident with my doctor, and I am going to ask him if we should send all tests to mayo or someplace else to get some insight. I know that may step on his toes but he would have to get the package together even if I requested it. My husband can't travel anyplace so we are sort of stuck here. he is also so confident with his docs that he beleives the plan is betteen God and the docs, what it is, it will be. I wll talk to doc on Wed and push the envelop a little, but trust me. The last oncologist we saw wasn't even half as proactive as this one is and this one is the one that gets all the people like my husband so he is most experienced. Just baffled as well, but we shall see.

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Thanks. Tad had one of his more lucid days yesterday, he made calls, watered his plants etc etc. Went for a two mile walk even. we are feeling that as we turn up the implanted morphine pump and turn down the other, that just maybe it may work and he may find some relief. No idea why yesterday was different. the deal is everyone is a different case, no two alike. I read about people with multiple surgeries and clogged stents and bile leaks (eeewww) and multiple hopsital visits. My husband was in for his whipple 6 days never had any complications....all we have been dealing with is pain mgmt and in the big picture that is one thing. True he may be a very individual case next to so many others, but who knows if someone won't pop on here and have a scenario where they can't manage their pain, then I become the one to help them, share, etc. If someone hasn't suffered this much then they certainly are not a good judge to say throwing in the towel seems like a good option. If my husband wants to do that, I support it. I don't believe anyone should stay around for the sake of someone else/others...what an awful life. I want my husband to have peace no matter what the choice, unfortunately as I said nothing is killing him right now, nor close, so we just have to continue to ease his pain while we figure out what the hell is going on with him. thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers but we are gonna be just fine.

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
He is no where near death. Just dealing with the pain. He is a man of God, stephen Minister Deacon, and connected with the Caring Ministry in a church of 7,000 members. He can talk, and walk, we actually walk about a mile or so every night for exercise, and he enjoys a cigar every day. He says bizare things from the morphine but the nerve block cleared his head. If you touch his stomach he winces and now it is worse with the new pain pump implanted in that mess. He is looking forward to the pearly gates and know that I can manage the kids. His look on dying is about no more suffering. It has been so long and he is such a bizarre case. Everything will work out, we are just impatient. I'm so glad about your survival. I have read too many cases on this sight where people were told after surgery, to get the chemo even if they are told no, because the cancer has come back and they wished they did chemo. I have a close friend who just experienced the same thing, They said he was fine, no chemo necessary and now the cancer is back even worse and he is getting chemo. he trusted his doctors but now told me he should have listened to someone who has heard it said so much. Anyway, you seem to be an incredibly lucky person. Since my husband nodes were infected he needed chemo and radiation and with the cancer gone for 3 months we were happy, but then it did come back and we expected that but not so soon. And since it was so soon, it has just been an ugly spiral. Anyway, we will be fine. Have a great life.

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Thank you. We have pain specialists on board and they honestly are giving this every shot they can and honestly, labs are good, scans don't show much, it is bizarre and maybe my husband is the rare frustrating case that is so new and rare and boggle them. After all this is not a good cancer and has awful results for so many. We suffer from suffering for too long. Endless , exhausted and spent all our days and hours in doctors offices and other facilities and hospitals. We are very happy with all our doctors and facilities, but again, no two people are alike but someday there may be someone else with this who have the same aweful situation and I will be the one case that can truly share with that person! Thanks for your support but becasue he is so differnt from so many others in his suffering, it just seems like I do need to keep this all off the board. Our situation is a situation of wanting it to end if it is going to continue with no end. Does that make sense? Helping him to live extra months in this shape is not how he wants to live. I agree with him but nothing is killing him right now. I dont' see anyone on here with internal and external morphine pumps and nerve blocks that cleared their head but did nothing for the pain. My husband has always been a medical disaster...always something. But a million people including myself love him terribly and all this is so upsetting. I agree I dont' want my doctor to talk negatively but I want all the facts even to my hard questions, and yes optimism is important but I still need the facts . His blood pressure has been 77/43 for quite some time even if they pump him with fluids , supposedly the internal pump in spine can affect this, but it has not made him more dizzy or less. Still a scary number. Anyway, I'm just on an interesting path and we are all drained and it never gets better so I am sorry to drag others down. So far drugging him is the way of comfort and I'm sorry but it makes it worse for everyone on top of it.

My husband is the air that I breahe. My chest feels crushed if I think he will die but he is miserable and he doesnt' want to go another day and there is nothing we can do about that. yes nothing has worked and he seems to be an extreme case but there is a lot of love shared when you both agree that it is just too much and too much suffering. He only wants me to take care of him every day, every second and I cant'. I think no one has been in this scenario to know who awful it really is right now and there is nothing we can do but continue to ease his pain which makes him in just a drug induced state that agian, no quality of life and needs constant care. yes people are fighting to live but since he is so bad, you just dont' have it to fight. BUT the cancer isn't killing him just the pain of it. You are right, I need to stay off this board becuase there are so many people "living" and working through this and my husband's case is far worse than anyone I have read.

I think I just was not so happy before all this so now I just want it all to go away as now I'm really unhappy. Yes it is selfish and I'm not suffering the way he is, but it have been going on for so long as we have all learned this cancer affects everyone diffferntly and no two cases are the same. I am going to ask the doc some tough questions next week but honestly, they are optimistic and really don't want to talk negative and to be honest, they need to have that approach. thanks.

Re: Yikes, is there a light at the end of this tunnel, ever? (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
No his esophogus issues was never an issue. They "found" it and treated it but he never knew he had it nor experienced any "better feeling" after it was treated. Also, we like our doctors and treatment facilities, there is nothing wrong with throwing in the towel as sometimes prolonging survival when the end comes anyway, is grueling! We have no interest to get another opinion and find it crazy in seeing what people go through just to add one more year. My husband is in really bad shape and it would be a miracle to get him to survive this. There is more comfort in not driving yourslef crazy with more appointments and he does not want to travel. Besides all his labs show normal results and more than one opinion confirmed this, only cancer in tiny infected nodes shows on the scan. I think i was just venting, but I realize now that as soon a you vent, everyone wants to offer you advice and in most cases it is always "you should get another opinion". I'm tired of all of this, I'm sick of it actually, I dont' want to add appointments and mailings and all new conversations to my already hectic days and weeks. Yes I sound stubborn and selfish but I have no quality of life now either and I don't like seeing him suffer. I know this is not the opinion of everyone else on this website, but I say things as I feel them and I don't sugar coat anything. My husband respects that part of me and he is the same way...guess he taught me well. Anyway, thanks for your interest, but we are fine. I think I need to stay off this site. It makes me very defensive, sorry.

My husband, 52, has an external Morphine pump AND now an implanted morphine pump but the process to try to switch it over is long and slow. He is always in pain and nerve block didn't work and even this morphine straight to the spinal fluid isn't working. He looks like awalking skeletin with deep eye sockets. When he falls asleep every minute, his eyes are 1/2 open and eerie looking. His blood pressure was like 77/48 or something and low bloodcount, couldn't do chemo this week and had to go to hospital for a 6 hour process to get 2 units of blood put in. Every day there are appoitnments and things to do. I need to ask oncologist if the pain and symptoms will be any worse if we just stop it all ! He was 230 and is now 143. If it is going to go on and on and never get better, than why go through all this. I know docs really don't know about expiration dates butthinking about more months of this is upsetting.

You can only have radiation once. Unless there are tumors in OTHER places, then you may be able to have radiation in a new spot. Chemo can leave scarring but it is the only way to really kill this stuff as chemo is an enabler to radiation and many times chemo loses its effectiveness.

yes my husband's weight loss is astronomical though, devastating and yes I have heard it could be a year for pain to get better, but a person can't live a year in pain, so we went for drastic measures to get rid of it...thus this new pump implanted. Toomuch pain puts your body in trauma. Docs have tried lots of things, so it is not their fault it is just a mess. It is the cancer, a bad thing, differnt for everyone, and differnt treatmetns also work for different people...or don't work. hope things get better for your dad.

Re: Implanted morphine pump! (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Doctors have always listened and acted. Surgery was Jan 4th so the pain is from cancer in general. And it has been unmanageable no mater what we try or they try, so this was another attempt to work on it.

Topic: Implanted morphine pump! (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Well my husband has been on an external pain in the butt morphine pump for months. It is not working well (as his pain remains 5-9 all day)and the morphine makes him hallucinate all day and I have to have someone stay with him. It is an awful mess. So they implanted a morphine pump in his abdomin, under the skin, looks like a hockey puck !!! and it attaches into spinal fluid with some tube. Anyway, over the next month or two they will decrease the external morphine and increase the internal pump so he doens't get any withdrawls and then he will be able to shower and all and not carry anything around (the new pump works with this little wireless device the size of a car door unlock key chain thing). Anyway, the inside pump can hold up to 6 months of morphine and the external pump , less concentrated, is replaced every week. You get addicted to the pump in your veins, but don't get addicted to the one into your spine, It also doesn't mess up your head or take your appetite away. So we are looking forward to this switch over !! Just wanted to share since I haven't read about anyone with this. Maybe my husband is in more pain than everyone and has lost 90 lbs which is huge etc etc. Anyway..oh, we also get his labs and they come back like a perfectly normal person. The only way they can see the cancer is infected nodes in the catscan. Bizarro as so many people on this sight pay attention to labs. Anyway, I am hoping in another month, my husband pain is finally being managed after so many months of misery.

China's central bank drained 220 billion yuan (33.85 billion U.S. dollars) from the market this week to ensure stable money supply.
This follows a drain of 290 billion yuan from the financial system last week.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) conducted 360 billion yuan in seven-day reverse repurchase agreements (repo) this week, a process in which central banks purchase securities from banks with an agreement to resell them in the future.
With 580 billion yuan's worth of repos maturing this week, the PBOC ended up draining a net 220 billion yuan from money markets.
On Friday's interbank market, the benchmark overnight Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate (Shibor), which measures the cost at which Chinese banks lend to one another, was down by 0.1 basis points to 2 percent.
The Shibor for seven-day loans fell 0.3 basis point to 2.326 percent. The Shibor for three-month loans dropped 0.2 basis point to 2.894 percent.
Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo.
Lenovo Group Ltd announced on Wednesday the establishment of a $500 million investment fund, seeking new growth points as the world's largest personal computer maker is wrestling with a declining global demand for PCs and a faltering smartphone business.
The fund, solely financed by Lenovo, will be used to finance startups in cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, robotics, Internet Plus and other emerging sectors.
Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo, said the new investment unit, Lenovo Capital and Incubator Group, will help the company find the biggest commercial opportunities in the next decade.
"We won't place a limit on the size of our investment in innovation as long as startups' products fit with Lenovo's broad strategies and really boast cutting-edge techs," Yang said.
According to Yang, Lenovo is also encouraging its employees to work on innovation projects, which can grow into independent firms, become the company's units and leverage capital from other investment firms to scale up.
He Zhiqiang, Lenovo's senior vice president in charge of the new investment unit, said the company will invest in 10 to 20 startups every year and help spin off at least 10 companies from Lenovo's internal incubation projects this year.
"We value quality over quantity, with focus on early-stage startups," He said, adding the company is also eyeing overseas investment opportunities.
Lenovo's intensified efforts to boost innovation came as the company is facing mounting pressure in the PC and smartphone businesses, two of its major revenue sources.
In the first quarter of 2016, Lenovo failed to make its way into global top five smartphone vendors for the first time, according to the research firm International Data Corp.
The company is having difficulty in reviving its appeal to consumers who are willing to buy more expensive handsets while its Chinese peers Oppo Electronics Corp and vivo Mobile Communication Technology Co Ltd leap forward.
In the same period, the global demand for PCs hit a nine-year low, despite that Lenovo maintained its leading position in terms of quarterly shipments.
Di Jin, a research manager at IDC China, said Lenovo's products are facing fierce competition, so it makes sense for the company to look beyond smartphones and PCs for new opportunities.
Frasers Hospitality, an international serviced apartments and hotel residences owner and operator, will continue to vigorously expand its portfolio in China as it remains confident in the country's rise as a global economic powerhouse.
The Singapore-headquartered company plans to open 10 more properties in China's key cities within the next couple of years, apart from its existing China network which currently stands at 14 properties.
The new launches will be located in Tianjin, Wuxi, Chengdu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Nanchang, Dalian and Changsha, and will cover three of its brand offerings including Fraser serviced residences, Modena by Fraser serviced residences and Capri by Fraser hotel residence brand.
"With the exponential growth that we have witnessed over the last 11 years, there is no question that China is, and will continue to be an integral growth market for Frasers Hospitality," said Choe Peng Sum, chief executive officer of Frasers Hospitality. "Our growth strategy is very much parallel to that of China's plans to develop new infrastructure and master planned cities as they present tremendous growth opportunities."
The strengthening of Frasers Hospitality's portfolio in China, which is right on track to reach its goal of 30 properties with 7,000 units by 2019, is a significant contributor to the company's global expansion target of 30,000 units by 2019.
The company's portfolio worldwide, including those in the pipeline, stands at 139 properties, or 22,800 units, across more than 80 cities, according to the company.
Steel and iron ore futures in China steadied on Thursday, while other commodities fell as a key exchange stepped up measures to combat speculation behind a recent market surge.
Financial investors have charged into Chinese commodities futures this year, driving up contracts including iron ore, rebar, cotton and even eggs, leading many to warn of similarities with a boom in the country's stock markets, which reversed into a sharp crash last summer.
This week has seen a marked pullback as exchanges raised the cost of trading to avoid mirroring the outcome in stocks.
Coking coal futures were the hardest hit on Thursday, falling by the downside limit of 6 percent, after the Dalian Commodity Exchange imposed higher transaction fees for the fourth time in a week.
Dalian doubled the transaction fees on key steelmaking raw materials, coking coal and coke futures, from Thursday. It will also widen the trading limit for both contracts to 7 percent from 6 percent from Friday and increase the minimum margin to 9 percent from 8 percent
Steel rebar on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the leader of last week's big spike, closed up 0.8 percent at 2,539 yuan ($391.8) a ton.
Cotton on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange fell 3.8 percent, Shanghai aluminum dropped 2.8 percent and Dalian soybeans fell 2.7 percent.
Tesla Model X attracts visitors at Auto China 2106 in Beijing, which runs through May 4. Smart and electric cars are becoming more popular in China as young customers favor greater connectivity in vehicles.
Move signals company's drive to take smart and electric car market by storm
Future Mobility Corp Ltd, a Chinese startup aspiring to make electric and smart cars and which has the backing of Tencent Holdings and Foxconn Technology Group, has hired two senior managers from Tesla Motors Inc in its latest hunt for global talent, according to sources familiar with the company's moves.
Marc Duchesne, director of Tesla's supply chain manufacturing and assembly engineering, will join the Hong Kong-registered company as vice-president of manufacturing, said the sources, who asked for anonymity.
Paul Thomas, Tesla's senior vehicle engineering manager, is moving to Future Mobility as vice-president of engineering, according to the sources.
A spokesperson from Tesla China declined to comment on the matter.
The two hires from Tesla come less than 10 days after Bloomberg reported that three managers from BMW's i brand joined Future Mobility as vice-presidents of software and connectivity, design, and marketing.
In addition to the three BMW managers, Future Mobility has hired Carsten Breitfeld, the former project manager for BMW's i8 electric sports car, as its chief executive officer. Daniel Kirchert, the former president of Infiniti China, also joined Future Mobility as chief operation officer.
Duchesne managed Toyota's production in Canada for more than two decades before he joined Tesla in September 2011. Thomas worked at Aston Martin for over 16 years before June 2014.
Future Mobility, launched in February, said it plans to create "a premium brand with roots in China and a global reach". Its other parent company is China Harmony New Energy Auto Holding Ltd, a major auto dealership group. Tencent is the largest internet firm in Asia and Foxconn is a major assembler of Apple Inc products such as iPhones and iPads.
Yale Zhang, managing director of consultancy Automotive Foresight (Shanghai), said Future Mobility, which he called a "new but ambitious entrant" will continue to seek more talents from established global carmakers.
"It appears more reliable than other electric and smart car startups because it could have strong backing from three shareholders in terms of capital, internet technologies and manufacturing know-how," Zhang said.
Marc Duchesne (left) and Paul Thomas.
Future Mobility plans to assemble cars in China. It will have its research and development base in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, but will also have research and development units in Europe and Silicon Valley to concentrate on powertrain and autonomous driving. It has yet to reveal details for its product plans.
COO Kirchert said on Wednesday through WeChat that "demand and experience for individual mobility will witness profound changes globally. Connectivity, autonomous driving and environmental friendliness will redefine the future of cars. We will combine internet thinking and solid car manufacturing quality. This is our unique advantage."
Popularity is growing in China for smart and electric cars as young customers favor more connectivity in vehicles and become more environmentally conscious. The government is also boosting innovation in the auto industry and sales of new-energy cars to help alleviate pollution.
The government is subsidizing buyers of new-energy cars, including fully-electric and plug-in hybrid models.
As a result, many startups are emerging to produce smart and electric cars in collaborations with traditional carmakers.
At the beginning of this month, NextEV Inc, backed by Tencent and Hillhouse Capital, sealed a 10 billion yuan ($1.54 billion) deal with Shanghai-listed JAC Motor to produce new-energy and smart cars. The first electric model will hit the market at the end of 2017.
In February, internet company LeEco, founded by entrepreneur Jia Yueting, set up a joint venture with Aston Martin to manufacture smart electric cars. The first model, the Rapide E, will be launched in 2018 with powertrain and connectivity technologies from LeEco.
LeEco also plans to produce smart and electric cars under its own LeSEE brand. It unveiled a LeSEE concept car during the ongoing Beijing auto show.
LeEco has recruited a slew of executives from traditional car companies since last year, such as Zhang Hailiang, former vice-president of SAIC Motor, China's top auto group. Zhang joined LeEco earlier this month as the company's president and COO in China.
Last year, sales of new-energy vehicles in China more than quadrupled to 331,000 units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
An advertisement for e-commerce retailer JD.com Inc in Shanghai.
China's second-largest e-commerce platform JD.com Inc has made its global bond market debut, securing a relatively low borrowing cost when raising $1 billion in debt.
The company secured a Baa3 rating from Moody's and BBB-from Standard & Poor's, the lowest rating in the investment-grade category. The five-year $500 million tranche was sold at 3.125 percent and the 10-year $500 million tranche at 3.875 percent.
The investment-grade ratings to a loss-making company are due to expectation that its profitability, remaining weak at the moment, would improve in the upcoming months, due to its expanding product offering through direct sales and the marketplace, rating agencies said.
S&P noted that JD's market share has climbed to 56.9 percent in terms of gross merchandise value, from 36.8 percent in 2011. The value of consumer electronics, which usually means low profitability, as a share of gross merchandise value has declined from 80 percent in 2011 to 51 percent in 2015.
However, a number of brokers argued that JD should be considered a high-yield credit because of its unprofitable status and the fact that it is more of a capital-intensive and hence inherently more volatile tech company.
The offering came following rising unease in the onshore bond market as a few default cases pushed yields high.

Portland Police arrested a Vancouver man Tuesday night after a traffic stop where officers found powder cocaine.
Around 11 p.m., officers assigned to the Drugs and Vice Division stopped a vehicle at Southwest Barbur and Terwilliger boulevards. During the traffic stop, officers got consent from the driver to search the vehicle, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
They discovered one kilo of powder cocaine inside the vehicle and arrested Worter Torriente-Vela, 37. Torriente-Vela allowed officers to search his home in Vancouver, where officers found an additional 2 kilos of cocaine and more than $11,000, the Portland Police Bureau said.
The drugs and money were seized as evidence. Torriente-Vela was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on suspicion of possessing and delivering cocaine.

|Drive a total of 1,000 miles in vehicles in "Jimmy's Vendetta."
You will likely have only driven around 150 miles by the time you finish the story. So this is likely to be a big grind. The best thing to do is head to the freeway (yellow road on map) and keep driving from one head to the other. You can get a good speed so will cover miles quicker. If you start running out of gas, just steal another car and carry on. Expect this to take around 10 hours.
There actually is a method of driving your vehicle through a clothing store. The car will break the display window and you will free fall through the bottom of the map. You can average about 30 miles every hour. Make sure to save your game often by changing the Subtitles in the Pause Menu. Also, it's important to note that you should save and quit the glitch when you have around 995 miles, and get the last few miles be legitimate means

Thought i would start this topic to see who in the UK has a Zen or who has one on order
shout up below
Hi Baz,
I have one on order, but sadly no orders though Kiteworld has arrived as yet, I spoke
to Michael yesterday and he believes that they are now in shipment.
Ben has authorised me to use the Logo for embroidery and some other Zen related items,
so I am planning to do myself, and a very well known flyer from here some hoodie's as soon
as I can my hands on one. I wanted to get the sail bias direction/s of the kite matching the stitch
directions of the embroidery.

I'm in the market for a new bike and am willing to spend up to about $400 for an entry-level hybrid. I've been to at least 7 local bike stores in Chicago and have test-ridden Treks (7200FX and 7200), a Bianchi Avenue, a Marin Larkspur, a Giant Cypress, and a couple of others. But the bike that felt the best to me and really seems to fit me the best is one I found in a sporting goods store (Play it Again Sports). It's a K2 Alturus 2.0, new-- for $350--and again, it just seems to fit me better than anything else I've tried. It's not the fastest or lightest bike I've tried (although it's not the heaviest or slowest, either), but I've ridden it twice now--and I find that I really enjoyed it both times.
I should add that I had a nerve inquiry in my left arm recently, so my left arm/hand is especially sensitive to being bumped/jostled around. The K2 handlebars seemed to be placed at just the right height and be of just the right width to make my arm/hand comfortable. The handlebars are pretty upright, but not completely so. I should also add that my wrist/arm started hurting a bit after riding the Bianchi Avenue--perhaps because it has no front suspension and lower or straighter handlebars (I think). The Trek handlebars didn't fit me that well either; I know they can be changed, but I don't want to necessarily buy a $300+ bike, only to find they still don't quite fit.
I mentioned this brand (K2) to bikesellers at a couple different local bike shops (lbs). One of the bike experts said K2 was known for skis and pretty good mountain bikes--but that they didn't know much about their hybrids. The other bike "expert" sort of laughed when I mentioned the K2 and dismissed it as a "big box" bike.
Help!! I'm very tempted to buy the K2, as it's in my price range and seems to fit me (and accomodate my hurt arm) quite well. Plus, I actually like the color (not just black or gray, like everything else seems to be). I'll be using it primarily for paved roads and bike paths--maybe a few dirt or gravel paths along the river.
Is the K2 simply a piece of junk? I can't find much info. on them anywhere. Someone must ride one or know someone who does...right? I know that everyone constantly recommends buying from a lbs--and this one only seems to be available at this sporting goods store. I have to say, the sales guy there, however, does seem to know his stuff and has promised a free tune up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to finally buy something really soon, since there's probably only about 6 good weekends left this year in Chicago.
Many thanks!!
