Working with HD Digital SLR footage in Premiere Pro CS5

[whirring] [ADOBE® TV PRESENTS] [SHORT AND SUITE} [mechanical clunking] [JASON LEVINE} [clunking continues] [KARL SOULE] [clunking continues] [whirring] [SHORT AND SUITE - ON THE ROAD WITH JASON AND KARL] Hi. I'm Karl Soule, technical evangelist for Adobe Systems. Welcome to another episode of Short and Suite. Today we're going to be talking about this new revolution with DSLR cameras, and I want to take you guys through some of the specific features inside of Premiere Pro CS5 that are geared towards shooting and working with DSLR footage. Now, if you're shooting on a camera like this, one of the challenges that people have faced with these cameras is the fact that they use a very high bit rate H.264 codec, and even though these are just QuickTime files, in most cases people are going through the hassle of transcoding this footage before they can bring it in and actually start the editing process. With Premiere Pro CS5 and the new Adobe Mercury Engine, that's kind of a thing of the past. If you're working with Premiere Pro, you can work natively with the footage right off of this camera, including being able to check shots right off of the card in the camera. If you need to, you can on set just pull the card right out of the camera and take this, put it in a card reader, and actually look at this footage right from within Premiere Pro, and you should be able to see it at full frame rate, full playback without any problem. Let me show you a couple of things inside of Premiere Pro to get you started. The first thing is when you're setting up a new sequence. I'm going to go ahead and click on the New button here and choose Sequence. When I do that, there's now inside the Sequence presets, there's a new folder called Digital SLR. So if I bring this down, I can choose a Timeline sequence that matches exactly what I'm shooting on my camera. So in this situation, on this camera I've been shooting at 1080p, 24 frames per second, so I can go ahead and select a timeline of that, and I can go in here and I can choose, and I'll just call this one the same thing as the preset here. We'll just call this 1080p24 and hit OK. So now I have a new blank timeline here. I've taken some of the footage. I've copied this off of the card in the camera and I've put it on my hard drive here, but if I want to look at this footage, I can just double click on a clip. This is going to open up over in my Source monitor. I can start the playback of this footage, and if I want to, I can hit the tilde key on my keyboard and I can blow this up full frame. When I'm doing this, depending on your hardware, in most cases you should be able to work at full frame rate here. But a couple new features to be aware of, there are these new controls here for Playback Resolution and Pause Resolution. I'm going to go ahead and set this to Full Resolution for playback and for pausing here because we have really gone through and optimized the H.264 codec that decodes these files, and since we're now fully 64-bit multicore optimized, we can play back this footage without any problem, without any drop in frame rate here. So you can see I'm going through and I'm playing back this footage. I can use J-K-L editing on my keyboard here, I can play this backwards, I can mark an in point, go through and mark an out point on my footage. I'm going to go ahead and go back to my regular interface here. I can now take this footage and drop it right on my timeline here, and we'll go ahead and just expand that out. So we can easily go through, and we can take this footage and merge this together. Another thing to note here, I'm going to go ahead and go into my new Sequence panel here again because I want to talk about one particular preset that we have in here. There's a new preset that's called DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97, and this is really crucial if you're using the older firmware builds on cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II. Those cameras were shooting at a true 30 frames per second, and so this was creating a lot of problems with mixed time bases if you were shooting on, let's say, a 1D and a 5D in the same shoot. Using this particular preset, Premiere Pro will conform your footage to 29.97. One of the things that's always been a real benefit of Premiere Pro is you can mix and match time bases on one timeline. So if you're shooting 1080p30 and you're planning on mixing and matching between footage from, let's say, the 5D and the 7D, the 5D and the Rebel T2i, and you haven't used the new firmware build that adds true 29.97 playback if you have legacy footage, this would be the preset that you would want to work with. The great thing about this is you don't have to worry about your graphics card for doing this. I know there's a lot of interest in this Adobe Mercury Engine, and this is something that doesn't require GPU acceleration. You can actually work with this footage and play this back. I even do this on a regular basis on my MacBook Pro laptop. But if you do have a GPU that's on the approved list, what that gets you is the ability to go in and actually do color grading and color timing right on the timeline inside of Premiere Pro and not have to render your footage. So here I've got a piece of footage that I've dropped on my timeline. If I go into the Effects panel--in fact, let me go ahead and turn this on. I don't have GPU acceleration currently turned on, so I'm going to go to Project, Project Settings, General, and we'll go ahead and change the Video Rendering here to the GPU acceleration mode and we'll delete the previews here in this choice. I don't have any preview files at this point, but I'm not going to use them anyway. And so now at this point I'm working with this footage. If I wanted to, I could come in and I could take something like a Three-Way Color Corrector or RGB Curves and I can drop it on this footage and not have to worry about rendering preview files. So in this example here, let me go ahead and use my Effects panel. I'm going to go ahead and turn on the Accelerated Effects filter. That's this little icon here in the Effects tab. When I do that, you'll see all these different effects are accelerated provided I have the correct graphics card in the system. So you'll notice there's a lot of different options here for working with color, so I can come in here and maybe use--I like working with Curves. I like the idea of sticking with kind of a Curves metaphor from what I know in Photoshop. So I can take something like an RGB Curves effect, drop it on here, go to the Effect Controls, and now I have a nice little curves adjuster here so I can go in and maybe just shift the gamma a little bit on this particular clip. Maybe on this particular shot I want to boost the reds a little bit or maybe knock the reds down and make the shot a little bit cooler here. You can see I'm seeing that update immediately, and as I play this clip back here, you can see that it's not affecting the quality of the playback. It's actually playing back in full 32-bit linear color space as I'm doing this. You'll notice in the Effects bin there's also a couple of other modifiers here, a couple of other filters. This particular effect is a YUV effect. Even though I'm looking at red, green, and blue curves here, it's actually keeping the clip in its native color space. This is also a 32-bit effect, meaning Premiere Pro is working in a 32-bit floating point color space so if I take one effect and I blow out a particular area of the video, I'm not actually losing any detail in there. If I take another effect and darken that part of the video down, the detail will be preserved in that part of the video. So very, very powerful capability. So hopefully I've just kind of shown you the ability you can take and work with footage directly off this camera, no rendering necessary. We have presets that fit all of the major DSLR cameras out there, and if you have the GPU acceleration on your desktop system, you can also go in and do color correction. Again, no worrying about rendering preview files. So it's a pretty powerful system for anybody interested in shooting on a DSLR camera. So if you're not familiar, you can definitely get a hold of me on Twitter via Karl Soule is my handle on Twitter. [Twitter: karlsoule] [Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/videoroad] I also have a separate blog at blogs.adobe.com/videoroad and I've even created a new blog that's specifically focusing on the new DSLR market called rebelshooters.com [http://www.rebelshooters.com] So you can also get a hold of me there.

Hello Yuftos
1. The roads must have flooded.
2. The roads must have been flooded.
Both are fine.
You can use #1 when you simply want to state your conclusion that the roads were full of water. The agent of the flooding is unexpressed.
You can use #2 in the same context as #1; the agent remains unexpressed, but the passive does at least imply an agent. It's a very slight change of emphasis.
You can also of course use #2 when you want to specify the agent, e.g.
3. The roads must have been flooded by the river.
All the best,
English Teacher

Easter is a special event celebrated by Christians. It is the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. Easter is celebrated in many countries all over the world, however not all traditions are the same.
America and Canada
In America and Canada, Easter is pretty much celebrated the same. Decorated eggs are hunted for or exchanged as well as other gifts they may include money and chocolates. Easter baskets and bonnets are made and decorated, then entered into contests.
The Easter bunny is very popular in both countries. Stores line their shelves with stuffed bunnies to give as gifts as well as chocolate, decorations and gifts for the Easter holiday.
In Germany, Eater is called Ostern. Besides Christmas, Easter is the most important holiday in Germany. Spring cleaning is done in the household, decorations are brought in and hung up. Small Easter trees are brought int o the home as well and decorated with eggs.
Parents hide Easter baskets with small presents, sweets and eggs. Hand decorated eggs are exchanged among family and friends. A great meal is had, where many people eat fish and light big Easter bonfires.
In Mexico, Easter is actually two big events combined, Semana Santa (Palm Sunday to Easter Saturday, or Holy Week) and Pascua (Resurrection Sunday until the following Saturday).
Many Mexicans use these two weeks as a time for vacation, while other prefer to stay for the events. Many communities stage the full Passion play including the Last Supper, the Betrayal, the Judgment, the Procession of the 12 Stations of the Cross, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.
In Romania, Easter is the most important celebration. Men and women each have their own tasks to complete. The men mend fences, bring in water, take out the garbage and butcher the lambs. Women clean the house, do laundry and decorate the eggs. A few weeks before Eater, the young women and girls sew new shirts for the men, parents and children.
A special Easter cake called "Pasca" is baked, the lamb is cooked and special decorated eggs are exchanged. Lit candles are held during mass and only put out once the one holding it returned home. It is said that if one sleeps on Easter day, they will be sleepy all year long.
In Ireland, a competition would be held to see who could eat the most duck eggs. Dancers in beautiful outfits dance in the streets and compete for a cake prize. Easter is a time of fasting and prayer. At church on Easter Saturday, hundreds of little candles are lit off of the blessed Paschal candle. Priests sprinkle holy water on each member of the household, then the house and cattle.
Eggs that had been decorated and painted with faces are rolled down a hill. A quiet traditional meal of lent soup and roasted Spring lamb is eaten on Easter Sunday. On Easter Monday, many fairs are held and many use this day to go on a day trip.
In Russia, Easter is celebrated on a different Sunday, than it is in the West. In the West, the Gregorian calendar is used as well as in many places of the East, but the Julian calendar is still used and at present, is 13 days behind the Gregorian calender. Normally Easter in the East, is one week later than the West, however this year is one of the few, rare times that they will fall on the same Sunday.
Children dye eggs red, symbolizing the blood of Christ. The eggs are cracked open using nails and the whites are exposed. People are reminded of the death of Christ and that the blood of Christ, cleanses them from sin.
Worship at the church begins Saturday evening. At midnight, the priests throw open the doors and shout out "Christ has risen"! The congregation then comes to life shouting back, "He is risen indeed"! After worship and Easter celebrations, the family Easter dinner takes place. It is a huge picnic, where everyone in the congregation brings food to share. Here everyone is reminded that all members of the body of Christ belong to one another.

If you are unlucky enough to possess a house centipede problem, you are not by yourself. 1000's, if not hundreds of thousands of individuals deal with these little demons on a daily basis. Naturally, this is in all probability not very comforting to you, as I am for sure that you emphatically need these terrible house centipedes moved out right this minute!
So how can a person start the process of taking out house centipedes just about instantly, and minus the fear of 'em someday visiting you once more? Do you think it's as simple (as well as expensive) as calling in an insect control centipede murderer (more commonly known as the "exterminator") to come in and disburse toxic murder spray all throughout your residence? Could it be that there's a better way out?
At the outset, allow me to just articulate that I'm in no way a believer in harmful chemical substances being utilized in or around one's habitat, above all when little kids or domestic pets are involved – but surely in no way even for adults. This won't just 100's of dollars, but there is no guarantee it will even work over the long run. In truth, stats suggest that house centipedes habitually come back within the initial month after "treatment." This is in addition to the risks to our wellness that these substances contain. And all the nasty house centipede carcasses that continue to lay around after the "holocaust" has come to an end.
No thanks.
The best answer is a great deal safer, and comes complete with a complete plethora of additional benefits. The genuine solution rests in a couple pretty common sense actions.
1) Render your quarters uncomfortable to them, and
2) Eliminate their food reserve.
This is actually a great deal uncomplicated than you may initially think. Centipedes love wet, clammy areas By merely performing a small number of simple alterations all over your house, in the house centipede "hot spots," including the clothes washing room, toilet, kitchen, basement, and wood stocking places, you will be taking a step toward eliminating your house centipede swarm very quickly.
Are you aware of what house centipedes generally eat? They are insectivores, meaning that bugs, larva, and spiders are the standard food options for these wicked little devils. By making a few additional household adjustments, for instance, correct waste and food etiquette and specific climate management exercises, you are certain to complete the challenge and dispose of those house centipedes extremely fast.
So those are the principles of removing the devils from your residence incredibly fast! Actually, if you do it in exactly the right way, performing a small number of extremely detailed guidelines, you can truthfully start to get them out of your home now and forever… starting in literally just minutes from now! It is as clear-cut as transforming your house into an insect-free area, canceling the triad of accessibility, comfort, and food supply from those disgusting, multi-legged creepy-crawlies.
It's sincerely much easier than you might realize, yet it is still imperative that you educate yourself about how to accomplish this step by step, a to z.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and assume command of the Egyptian government. LET'S GO!
GLEE – 8:00PM (FOX) It's the Bieber episode! Bieber! BIEBER! And Glee! GLEEBER! Tell me you aren't excited to see these two wildly overhyped entities join forces to jazz up America. Two Bieber songs getting the "Glee" treatment tonight include "Baby," and "Somebody to Love," and I cannot tell you how happy I am that they chose Bieber's "Somebody to Love" over Jefferson Airplane's song of the same name. Also in the mix tonight is a cover of "I Know What Boys Like." Of course. ANTICIPATION: GLEEBER!
REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL – 10:00PM (HBO) Tonight Bryant and his band of very serious journalists talk to Victor Conte, the BALCO figurehead who still works with athletes despite being tossed in jail for steroid dealing, and frustratingly consistent NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson. They also profile the website Deadspin (which I write for) and try to figure out just what's so darn journalistic about posting pictures of Brett Favre's nether regions. That's not real sports journalism. Finding a disabled steeple chaser and having a soft focus interview? That's the stuff Emmys are made of. ANTICIPATION: DAULERIO!
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal Network) It's a special producer's cut of the "dinner from hell," which I assume applies to any dinner you're forced to sit through with these people. Please note that this show's season ended five freakin' weeks ago. Since the finale, there have been two reunion episodes, one outtakes episode, and now this. Bravo milks this franchise like a dying cow. ANTICIPATION: OVERKILL!
DIRTY JOBS – 9:00PM (Discovery) Mike goes sponge collecting, and I dare say that this man is running out of dirty jobs to perform. ANTICIPATION: SPONGY!
BREAKING DOWN THE BARS – 9:00PM (OWN) HARD TIME – 10:00PM (NatGeo – an NBC/Universal Network) Like women in prison? Well you're in luck! Because there is not one, but TWO new jailbait shows hitting your TV tonight. The first comes from Oprah's new network. The second comes from NatGeo and profiles inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, including one prisoner who raises her kid in the prison nursery. This seems unfair. Isn't the point of prison to rip you away from your family and ruin your kid's lives forever? I say yes. ANTICIPATION: JAIL!
Tuesday Watch List: GLEEBER!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and assume command of the Egyptian government. LET'S GO!

A FIXED Quota Allocation (FQA) register was published by the UK Government on December 18, in a bid to provide greater transparency into the division of fish quotas.
The register will also improve fisheries management by helping the fishing industry to make better use of its quota, which is a publically owned resource.
FQA units are the main means by which fishing quota is allocated amongst the UK fishing industry. EU countries receive a share of the Total Allowable Catch for each quota fish stock, and within the UK these are largely distributed into what are known as FQA holdings. Each FQA gives the holder access to a share of the quota for particular fish stocks.
The register was produced between all the UK fisheries administrations, the Marine Management Organisation and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.
Fisheries Minister George Eustice said: "The Fixed Quota Allocation provides greater transparency for anyone with an interest in our fishing industry by allowing them to see who has access to the UK's fishing quota.
"This will also improve the management of our fisheries by allowing the fishing industry to make better use of its quota."
Kevin Williamson, Head of Statistics and Fisheries Management, for the Marine Management Organisation said: "This increased transparency on who holds access to UK quota is an important step forward both for the fishing industry and for others with an interest in how quota is managed in the UK."

DR. HOOK- Up tight: Reduce stress to cure headaches
Tension can be a good thing. A tightrope walker needs a good tense rope. Tension in the theater can make the difference between a B movie and an A movie. The View became more popular with all the tension that occurred with Rosie O'Donnell. Personally, I'm wound so tightly that if I relax, I'll look like an amoeba– people would think my doggie peed on the floor.
Okay, I guess everything needs balance. Yin and yang, Abbott and Costello. What happens when the neck and head muscles become too tense?
About 40 percent of Americans suffer with tension headaches every year. (Too bad we can't buy stocks in it, though I'm sure Donald Trump will figure out a way.) They are the most common types of headache, but they are not life-threatening.
The muscles of the neck become tight, and the pain radiates up the skull muscles and into the temples. So people often complain about pain around their temples and classically rub them with their fingers in a circular motion. Most people with tension headaches don't even realize their necks are tight. (I'm sure they don't even rubberneck at an accident site.)
A lot of people mistakenly believe that only tense people have tension headaches. "Doc, I can't have tension headaches because I'm cool as a cucumber. Dip me in vinegar, and I'll come out a dill pickle."
Well, stress can cause people to tense up their neck, shoulders, and jaw to create a tension headache. But more often than not, the way a person carries herself can lead to the tense muscles.
Gum chewers can tense up the temporal muscles (which is why you shouldn't crack your gum!). Stooped over in front of a computer like a 120-year-old creates a lot of stress on the neck. If you ice skate like me with your shoulder up into your ears, the trapezius muscles can tense up. (See, you shouldn't put anything into your ear smaller than your elbow.)
Pain from a tension headache can last from minutes to hours to days. But normally, it subsides sometime during the day. It normally doesn't wake a person up. Most people with tension headaches wake up without the headache (unless they grind their teeth or sleep in a poor position), but the headache comes on with work.
I often hear, "My work is too stressful, and I have a headache by 3pm everyday." (Whatever happened to the three-martini lunch?)
If the headache is painful enough, nausea and/or vomiting can occur, which makes people think they're having a migraine. But usually light doesn't hurt the eyes and sounds don't hurt the ears with tension headaches. Also neurological symptoms don't occur, such as numbness or focal weakness (like the hand or leg).
Massage, heat, and stretches often alleviate the pain. Anti-inflammatories like Tylenol and ibuprofen can be effective in reducing pain. For chronic tension headaches, prescription medicines can be used. Muscle relaxants are good, but they usually knock the person out, and who has pain when they're knocked out? Some prophylactic medicines used for migraines can be effective as well.
I'm a huge fan of physical therapy and yoga for tension headaches because they can correct the underlying problem. Also stress reduction is often needed.
A good neurological evaluation is needed for chronic headaches, so be prepared to have your reflexes tested. But if you're a really tense person, please don't wear steel-toed boots while having your knee reflex checked.
Ouch! That would make me very tense.

Jacqueline wants to break her bold, glamorous image
After doing bold and glamorous roles in films like 'Murder 2' and 'Housefull 2', Jacqueline Fernandez now wants to break out of that image, though she admits it is a risky step
The actress feels people are just waiting to stereotype an actor and she doesn't want to do same roles again. 'It does take a conscious effort (to change your image), because people are just waiting to stereotype you. If you have done a movie which is successful, and your performance is successful, then people want to encash on that. You have to put your foot down,' Jacqueline said.
But after having achieved success, she does feel it is risky to change the image. 'It is risky because people don't like being said 'no'. But you just have to do what is good for you. I love actors who can shock you. Like Ranbir Kapoor, every single character he does is different. Even Priyanka Chopra challenges herself and I like that,' said the actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Sujoy Ghosh's 'Aladin'.
Jacqueline will now be seen in Abbas-Mustan's 'Race 2' and says the film is very glamorous. ''Race 2' is not gory. It is more glamorous. It has got a rich backdrop to it. It is not dark, it is all about suspense,' she said. The film, which releases Jan 25 next year, also features Deepika Padukone and Ameesha Patel. Jacqueline says they share a good rapport with each other.
'I had the experience of working with other actresses in 'Housefull 2' and we got along really well. We really bonded and it made the experience really good. Even in 'Race 2', we (Deepika and Ameesha) got along. You see them as your team. I don't think you should even think about rivalry,' she said.
Asked if she ever felt threatened by having other actresses in the same film, the 27-year-old said: 'I am comfortable with it. I think what works for me is that, I look at it as different characters. You make the character your own and be confident with that. I don't think it threatens you in any way, if you follow your own track and do well,' she said.

Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Traveler Update on Coronavirus
Reagan National Airport to be Transformed into an Artist's Studio in Recognition of Black History Month
Morgan Monceaux, World-Renowned Artist, will Demonstrate and Discuss
His Creative Process During Airport Event
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority will host artist and historian Morgan Monceaux on Wednesday, Feb. 6, as he works on his next original creation in front of travelers and art students from Howard University at Reagan National Airport. His exhibit "Hail to the Chiefs: Portraits of the United States Presidents and First Ladies" is currently on display at the airport until Feb. 28, 2013.
While working on his new art series, Monceaux will explain his creative process in choosing subjects, developing materials, art media and finalizing the portrait for display. He also will answer questions from the audience.
Who: Morgan Monceaux, renowned artist and historian
What: Discussion with artist and demonstration of his unique style to
art students from Howard University
When: Feb. 6, 2013
10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
Where: Reagan Washington National Airport
Baggage Claim Level, Door #4
Monceaux, best known for his depictions of political and cultural figures, has portraits at the National Portrait Gallery and has exhibited at three presidential libraries. Born in Louisiana, Monceaux credits his mother with developing his interest in art and music. He has created several works focused on the contributions of African-Americans to history, culture and the performing arts.
Monceaux's critically acclaimed "Hail to the Chiefs" at Reagan National Airport uses oil, acrylic paints, markers and recycled objects including campaign buttons, jewelry and other materials that draw attention to the uniqueness of his art. Travelers can expect to see portraits of George and Martha Washington, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Barack and Michelle Obama and other U.S. presidents and their wives.
Learn more about Monceaux (picutred above) and his collections here.
This event is made possible through the Airports Authority Arts Program, which offers diverse regional, national and international exhibits, live performances and public art displays that celebrate beauty and creativity in the region. For more information about this program visit the Reagan National and Dulles International airports "Arts Program" pages at mwaa.com.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority was established in 1987 by the governments of Virginia and the District of Columbia to manage and operate Washington's Ronald Reagan National and Dulles International airports, which together serve more than 40 million passengers a year. The Airports Authority also operates and maintains the Dulles Airport Access Road and the Dulles Toll Road and manages construction of the Silver Line project, a 23-mile extension of the Washington region's Metrorail system into Loudoun County, Va. No taxpayer money is used to operate the toll road, which is funded by toll revenues, or the airports, which are funded through aircraft landing fees, rents and revenues from concessions. The Silver Line construction is funded by a combination of toll-road revenues, airport contributions and federal, state and local government appropriations. The Airports Authority is led by a 17- member board of directors appointed by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the president of the United States.

An artist's conception of Huygens, now silent on the surface of Titan.
(Credit: ESA).
History was made nine years ago today, when the European Space Agencys Huygens spacecraft successfully landed on Saturns largest moon, Titan. Released 20 days prior on Christmas Day, Huygens survived its descent and lasted 1.5 hours on the icy moons surface before succumbing to the extreme cold. The probe managed to return images during descent and from the surface, and the feat still stands as the most distant landing on another world to date. [Read more...]

For months now a good friend has been trying to convince me to run a half marathon with him. Each time the conversation comes up I casually change the subject, check my phone for new messages, or look him in the face and say "heck no." Why am I resistant to such a healthful, fun, and challenging event?
I have two reasons. First, I am by no means in shape. I get winded after five minutes at a light jog. The thought that my sorry body could take me 13 miles is unfathomable and probably unrealistic (at least at the moment). Second, and perhaps more importantly, I have no willpower when it comes to exercise. No matter how many times I begin a regular routine of pilates, or yoga, or tennis, within a few weeks I have fallen off the wagon. While I think a half marathon is a little much given my current fitness level, I have promised this friend that I will start going on regular runs with him as he trains for the event. This time, however, I am making the goal to stick with it. But the question is…HOW?
To get started, I can form a goal intention, which is simply labeling my goal, or putting it into words. In this case my goal intention is "I want to run regularly each week." Every day I can remind myself of my goal intention with the hopes that those reminders will be enough to get me to the track. Will my goal intention help me? Will it overcome that issue I have with willpower and exercise? Unfortunately I don't think so. Each day I can easily put off my goal and claim I'll do my running the next day, or the day after that.
Instead, I am going to use an implementation intention to achieve my goal of regular running. Implementation intentions are a strategy psychologists have developed for goal pursuit (e.g. Gollwitzer, 1993). They have been shown to deliver results! Implementation intentions specify the where, when, and in what way a person should implement their goal. They do this by linking a very specific cue or situation to a very specific response. For example, my implementation intention is "When the clock hits five on Mondays and Thursdays, I will change into my exercise gear and go for my run."
How does the implementation intention work?
Compare this implementation intention to the goal intention I started with: "I want to start running regularly each week." Although my goal intention reminds me of what I aim to do at a global level it provides little to no help in how I should actually go about achieving that goal.
I trust that forming an implementation intention will help me to start running regularly. Why? There has been a ton of research establishing the efficacy of implementation intentions in goal pursuits of various kinds. In fact they are about three times more effective than simply creating a goal intention (Gollwitzer & Brandstatter, 1997). Much of this work has been conducted by Dr. Peter Gollwitzer, a professor at NYU (my alma mater). Let me tell you about a few studies….
Action Initiation
Women were found to increase the frequency of regular breast self-examinations after forming an implementation intention that specified where they would perform the examination and at what time of day (Orbell, Hodgkins, & Sheeran, 1997). In fact 100% of the woman for whom this was a strong goal performed the examinations after forming an implementation intention, while only 53% of woman for whom this was a strong goal completed the examinations without forming an implementation intention. In another study students were found to increase the frequency of vigorous regular exercise after forming an implementation intention specifying where and when they would exercise (Milne, Orbell, & Sheeran, 2002). In fact implementation intentions were much more effective in getting participants to exercise than reading a factual leaflet about the importance of exercise for health.
In one study researchers evaluated how to stop unhealthy snacking. Participants in the implementation intention condition rehearsed the statement "When I encounter an obstacle to healthy eating and feel like having a snack, I'll eat an apple instead." These participants showed a marked reduction in unhealthy snack intake (Adriaanse, Oettingen, Gollwitzer, Hennes, De Ridder, & De Wit, 2010).
Emotion Regulation
In a series of studies, participants' emotions were measured while viewing fear eliciting stimuli (spiders) (Gallo, Keil, McCulloch, Rockstroh, & Gollwitzer, 2009). Some participants were arachnophobic and some were not. In the goal intentions condition participants were directed to form the goal "I will not get frightened." Participants in the implementation intention condition formed the same goal intention but were additionally directed to form the implementation intention, "And if I see a spider, I will stay calm and relaxed." Arachnophobic participants who formed an implementation intention rated the stimuli as less arousing, and experienced reduced negative affect. In fact, their negative affect was the same as non-arachnophobic participants.
Based on this research I'm using an implementation intention to start my running routine. Perhaps it will work so well that I'll surprise my friend (and myself) by running a half marathon after all. Wish me luck!
Tell us about the goals you want to achieve and the implementation intentions you are going to use!

NBC's "Dateline" will dig deeper into the mystery of "Making a Murderer" in a one-hour special slated to air Friday.
The one-hour special — entitled "The State of Wisconsin vs. Steven A. Avery" — examines the case of Avery, a Wisconsin resident who spent 18 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit and was later convicted of murdering 25-year-old photographer Teresa Halbach.
Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, was also convicted of murder in connection with the case. Dassey was 16 at the time. His attorneys argued Dassey's low IQ made him easily swayed by investigators who coerced a confession.
U.S. & World
Avery and Dassey are currently serving life sentences for the murder of Halbach, whose bones and belongings were found burned near Avery's trailer. Only Dassey is eligible for parole — in 2048.
"Making a Murderer" debuted on Netflix last month. The series, which follows Avery and his family, generated backlash from people nationwide who believe Avery and Dassey are innocent.
Friday's "Dateline" episode will feature a rare sit-down interview from 2005 with Penny Beerntsen, the victim of the sexual assault case for which Avery was wrongfully convicted, according to the "Dateline" website.
Viewers will also hear new interviews with Dassey's attorneys, Steven Drizin and Laura Nirider, as well as former prosecutor Ken Kratz.
The "Dateline" special airs Friday NBC at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT.

Your picture cam up, so I'll ask, how do I find other atheists in the course of conversations not on the internet?

Hi, Margaret.
One of the problems I often encounter when debating religious folks is that there isn't a free resource that covers most of their arguments in simple language. To address this, here is a site that covers 100 topics that teens should know:
Feedback (especially constructive criticism) would be amazing. Thank you!

When you hear the term World's Financial Center, one may think of New York , London, or one of a dozen skyscrapers that also go by the title. We believe Worlds Financial Centre is evolving; from a fixed location: as with most things; to a universal and immutable digital location on the blockchain, available for all to visit 24/7/365. WorldsFinancialCentre.com is well positioned to capitalize on the evolutionary changes taking place in Commercial property ownership. Investments are exiting high cost, fixed, depreciating physical assets and moving into appreciating, dynamic, global, digital assets. WorldsFinancialCenter.com isn't a single business, it's a fund of over 1500 premium, generic, Fintech segment defining domain names like AlgorithmTrades.com EquityIncomes.com Digitalindexfunds.com BTCshort.com IPFSnodes.com & ContractScripts.com. Each is an opportunity to lay claim to a Fintech segment of the market by virtue of owning the .com address that best describes a core Fintech business activity. The average nine letter .com sold for $23,495 in 2016 (source - namepro). We own hundreds of 4 - 12 letter .coms. Our best are being developed into Fintech industry defining directories; following the successful model of Cars.com, 73% of which sold for 1.83 Billion in 2014 and apartments.com which sold for $585 Million. It is not hard to imagine, that in the near future our digital address will hold greater significance than our physical location, and the numbers are already starting to bare that out. There is a digital "Land Rush" taking place on the Web, LasVegas.com recently sold for $90 Million, CarInsurance.com, $46 Million, VacationRentals.com $35 Million, just for the domain names, no websites. In contrast a Hilton Hotel in NYC later sold for $65 Million. Other than their sales having gone largely unreported, what do these domains have in common? They are generic dot com domain names, operating as directories, for the business activity which their .com domain name best describes. Cars.com and apartments.com have multiple revenue streams; the users who come to list, buy, sell, or lease a car or apartment; and the high advertising revenue generated from the big brands who sell or lease those products to end users. What cars.com and apartments.com have done in the online auto and housing markets with their generic domain name directories, we are bringing to the financial industry, with hundreds of generic financial directories like TaxFreeAccounts.com & Digitalindexes.com PensionPools.com The potential upside is exponential!
Our exclusive digital currency at the WorldsFinancialCenter.com is the ITO, it can be used to buy products and services at any of our 1500 locations. We have issued 210,000,000 ITO coins, at 10 cents each with a hard cap of $21,000,000, we have signed options for 6,000,000 ITO at a 20% discount. The ITO is an ERC- 20, Reg D, GDPR compliant token. At the end of year one ITO holders will begin receiving automated annual dividends, derived from the annual profits of all WorldsFinancialCenter.com businesses combined. ITO Holders can buy and sell, free of transaction fees against our reserve, and can exchange ITO for Ethereum or fiat currency. ITO refers to Initial Token Offers, we also own InitialTokenOffers.com & EquityTokenOffer.com. ITO means "String" in Japanese - the String that ties our businesses together. ITO is also the sixth most common surname in Japan. The ITO is being distributed at ITOcoins.com, and you can send your Ether to our easy to remember wallet address - ITOcoins.eth
This is Commercial Real Estate 3.0, the highest price domain name ever sold is LasVegas.com sold for $90 Million, CarInsurance.com - $35 Million. The highest price ever for a website was Linkedin - $26 Billion; the highest selling prices, for the top 20 domain names and top 20 websites, are mostly dot com directories. We are also developing some of our financial domains into our own financial products on the Ethereum block chain employing Smart Contracts. AmericanIndexFund.com is being developed to function as a mirror of the American Index average , an average moving number. AmericanIndexFund.com moves up and down in real time with the aggregate market, and it can be bought or sold using the ITO.
The blight of the average investor today is the Management Expense Ratio (MER). If you had invested $10,000 25 yrs ago, averaging 6.4% annual return, with annual (MER) fees of 1.75% , you would have lost 43% of your return due to the impact of compounded MER fees. AmericanIndexFund.com can be bought, for a one time cost of 1% using the ITO, with NO Annual MER FEES as long as you own it ! The savings to investors is huge. AmericanIndexFund.com is a fully automated smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain with up to the minute news and content.
For additional revenue we are selling some non core digital properties and we are offering during private sale: NO INTEREST, lease to own over 5 years. We have been invited to join the Bancor Protocol so ITO token holders don't have to pay transactions fees to exchanges, no more middlemen or gatekeepers slowly eating away at your investments.
ReverseMortgages.com sold for $600,000 US in 2013(domain name only), it's a market of approximately $20 billion annually. We own, - MapleBond.com and MapleBonds.com, (Apple issued $2.5 Billion in MapleBonds last year), $30 billion are invested in Maplebonds annually. So these 2 domains were worth $600,000 in 2013: I own hundreds of similar properties; indicating a valuation in the tens of millions of dollars.

The Ballet and the Public: Notes from a Diary
Lincoln Center Council meeting. I was called to defend the New York City Ballet in refusing to be televised for "Live from Lincoln Center" programs. Since money involved is derisory and artistic increment nil, I was something less than polite. Other constituents feel this purely negative attitude is not only damaging to the notion of a cultural center, but also that conditions may improve if there is present participation.
I've never owned a television set; the few times I've watched local programs in hospital, in the houses of friends, or in bars, I've been amply confirmed in my distaste. I know British TV is better and BBC programs on "educational" networks appear as the best that can be shown. Balanchine has a rooted dislike of being dictated to by TV directors, but he has telecast our Nutcracker on several occasions; in 1958 for CBS he himself played Drosselmeyer. Even in those pre-historic days emission wasn't much to boast about. Commercial TV directors and their staffs always start by admitting they know nothing about ballet, but are experts in TV, which means they know next to nothing about any visual aspect important to choreographers. What they know about are the conditions imposed by advertising, which is the sole reason and support for any cash one can earn by the medium, except token prestige occasionally thrown in to sweeten a smelly pot.
In a brilliant essay in the Times Literary Supplement (London), in June, 1976, Professor Edward Mendelson of Yale gave an extended surgical analysis of the conditions of television. I sent copies of the article to a dozen titans of the media. It obviously stuck in their throats, for I never received an answer, even in defense. Mendelson's thesis was simply that nothing on commercial television, even by way of "creative" shows, can afford to compete with the advertising that pays for the program. Nothing produced by way of entertainment can consciously attempt to obliterate the drumbeat of the market message. Naturally, for the aim of TV is neither art nor education, unless it is thought that either as a pretext may sell more gas, beer, soap, or cars. This policy infiltrates the lowest member of the camera crew and makes the lens itself enemy to any essential integrity. Photography of dancing is a special problem, apart from any possible commercial exploitation, because of the built-in limitations of the very size of the TV box. Three-dimensional plasticity is always deformed through the lens, color falsified, and the angles and editing, promising to make ballet "more interesting," are usually an irrelevant betrayal.
Also, since the nature of merchandising is to buy cheap and sell dear, there's little money left for the likes of dancers, as opposed to the exorbitant rewards to popular singers or actors. The networks now occasionally propose an exposure of ballet, as enlargement of our audience, a…

Marino View - Online system to view crowdedness of Marino
It's a hassle to go to the gym and find a huge crowd, and all the machines and weights in use. Link the swipe in system and the turnstyles to some online software that simply monitors the number of people that come in and out and displays these numbers in real-time. After a month of monitoring, number ranges can be assigned crowdedness level (such as light, moderate and high). This could be viewed on MyNeu, among the the links where one finds LaudryView

Newsmakers: Gospel singer Winans attacked
DETROIT - Popular Detroit pastor and gospel singer Marvin Winans was assaulted and carjacked Wednesday afternoon at a gas station on the city's west side.
The attack happened about 3:20 p.m., and the suspects fled with an unknown amount of cash and Winans' SUV, police said.
Winans, 54, told WXYZ-TV that four or five young men followed him from inside the gas station and attacked him while he gassed up his SUV.
Winans said he didn't believe he was seriously hurt but planned to seek medical attention.
He said his attackers appeared to be among 10 young men he passed by inside the station, and he warily watched them as he pumped gas.
"I'm just saddened that it has come to this," Winans said. "This kind of nonsense just has to stop. It's just the savageness of what's happening in the street."
He also believes his attackers didn't recognize him. "And if they did, it didn't make much difference," said Winans, who has been active in civic issues, including taking a stand against the proliferation of strip clubs in Detroit's neighborhoods.
Winans is pastor of the 4,500-member Perfecting Church on Detroit's east side. In February, he gave singer Whitney Houston's eulogy. He also had a recurring role in the TV series "Tyler Perry's House of Payne."

Guide part 6
Super Street Fighter 4 Fighting Basics[edit]
<style type="text/css"> .ssf4_notation { font-weight:normal; color:#88a1cf; } </style>
Wake-Up Game
While not all attacks knock down opponents, many do. To the average player, these knock downs may feel like momentary lulls in the action, quick breaks that must be endured before the fight can resume. To the thinking fighter, however, the dynamics of a knockdown are much more interesting. When one fighter is knocked down, you've entered the wake-up game.
For the sake of discussion, we'll assume that you, as Ryu, are knocking down your opponent. As the opponent gets up from off the ground, you have a lot of options for continuing your offense. To play it safe, you can simply toss a fireball from a distance, timed so that it will connect with the opponent as soon as they stand up. Obviously, this attack can be easily guarded, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for you. Forcing the opponent to guard like this will earn you a bit of chip damage. As well, it continues pressure, keeping you in control of the fight instead of letting the momentum reset to neutral.
To counter your fireball, the opponent—let's assume Ken—has options, as well. The obvious counter is to simply block. While this will save him from most damage, it doesn't leave Ken in a very advantageous position. Alternatively, Ken can take advantage of invincibility frames in one of his attacks in order to wake up and immediately pass through your fireball. In the case of Ken, his Shoryuken attack starts with invincibility frames. Also, like most other characters, his super and ultra combos start with invincibility frames.
So clearly your fireball to the downed opponent isn't a flawless offense, but it is at least safe. Other options aren't so safe but yield greater rewards. While the opponent is on the ground, you can jump at them with a meaty j.HK. To block the j.HK, the opponent will have to stand up and block high. If the opponent tries to guard low, your j.HK will connect, letting you move into a combo attempt. If the j.HK is blocked, you can immediately follow with a crouching attack—such as c.MK—to once again force the opponent to change guard, this time forcing them to very quickly move to a low guard.
When fighting on the ground, most all attacks can be blocked with a low guard. To get around the impenetrable defense, you can perform a jumping attack which will force the opponent to guard high. But both of these blocks require simply holding backward in the same direction. While you are forcing the opponent to switch between low and high guards, making him/her work for the defense, there's not that much chance of error.
A cross-up fixes that. A cross-up is a jumping attack performed as you jump over the opponent that connects with the opponent from behind. An example of a good cross-up is Fei Long's j.MK. When you jump over the opponent from the left side of the screen, though Fei Long is facing the right and still kicks toward the right, the j.MK attack is capable hitting behind Fei Long. For an opponent to guard against a cross-up, he/she must not only change their guard to a high guard but must also press toward the attacker to guard, instead of away from the attacker. Judging the difference between a normal jump-in and a cross-up is often difficult in the heat of battle, so by forcing the opponent to change many directions of his/her guard, you are much more likely to connect your hit, letting you move into a combo.
Or better yet, you can jump at the opponent with a meaty cross-up attempt. Ryu's j.MK is an excellent cross-up move, and attacking with this as the opponent stands up not only forces the opponent to guard high but also forces the opponent to guard in the opposite direction in order to be successful in defending your attack. Guarding meaty cross-ups can be pretty difficult for even the best Street Fighter players, though only if you keep the opponent guessing. If you always attack with a cross-up, they'll learn to always block the opposite direction. But if you perfect your spacing and mix together cross-ups and regular meaty jump-ins, the opponent will have a tough job discerning which attack you're using at any given time, making it very difficult to defend.
The opponent isn't helpless against your meaty jump-ins and cross-ups, though. As before, Ken can counter with a Shoryuken to take advantage of the move's invincibility frames and high attack priority. A Shoryuken beats almost every other attack in the game, so your j.HK is no match for Ken's counter. But countering with a Shoryuken isn't quite as simple as it sounds.
There are two limits to Ken's ability to wake-up attack as a counter measure against you. The first is execution, as your j.HK is an easier attack to execute than Ken's Shoryuken. In the heat of battle, it's pretty easy to pressure with the j.HK and pretty easy for Ken to mess up his counter input. But assuming your opponent is pretty good and has no trouble with the Shoryuken input, there's yet another limit.
If Ken whiffs the Shoryuken, he leaves himself vulnerable. And here's where things get interesting. Depending on your style of play, you can bait Ken into waking up with a Shoryuken without ever launching a meaty attack. You can do this by purposely whiffing an attack early, before Ken wakes up, to make him think you're going on the offensive. If you then turn and defend against Ken's Shoryuken, he'll be left vulnerable, letting you move in to take advantage and set up a new attack.
The wake-up game is very much a war of minds, each player threatening with their tools while the other tries to guess what the opponent will do. Against AI opponents, these mind games are useless. But when you get to playing flesh-and-blood human opponents, mind games like this play a major role in the outcome of a fight.

NEW YORK (AP) A day after posting sizeable profit declines due to a massive data breach, Equifax says it expects to incur related costs of between $60 million to $75 billion in the current quarter.
The Atlanta company reported a 27 percent slump in third-quarter profit, largely due to a hack that exposed the personal information of 145 million Americans.
Opening a conference call Friday, interim CEO Paulino do Rego Barros Jr. apologized again for the breach, and said executives will not be receiving bonuses.
Equifax Inc. is trying to keep clients from fleeing and also outlined ways in which it is strengthening security. It revealed Thursday that it received subpoenas from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to trading in company shares by executives around the time of the breach.

How viable is a political party with the word "atheist" in its name? Troy Boyle, a corporate legal representative for a finance company, thinks very viable. Last March, he and a friend founded the National Atheist Party, which they believe to be the first American political party organized on the belief that God does not exist.
Views: 196
UGH! Come on Sandi, you know that atheists don't share the same views, Except for atheism.
I do think that we have a common thread though and also think what any little movement is some movement. I just like to think that every little bit helps.
Most Aussies, even if they believe in religion, usually don't live their life by it like Americans do, ie: we don't have the saying: God Bless This Country, we don't make such a patriotic show of religion in our government or for our country.
If I can see this happening anywhere, it will be in Australia.
not too many atheists in america and they also don't agree politically - so good luck with that! :)
I'm happy to announce that Australia (with our current status of having a atheist as the prime minister (said with a boastful swagger!)) that we are progressing with our Secular Party - and have already had a break away group... LOL
Alice, as and Aussie living in America for the last 10 years, I miss quite a bit of 'local news', though I do see what makes headlines. I am proud of Julia and I know a lot of Aussies are pissed off about carbon tax etc, but this makes me want to pat the Green Party on the back. They have endured a long haul to get a voice and have done it. I would like to see the same thing here in the states, but I doubt that would ever happen. I don't know the exact ins and outs of it but I can only assume that it is a good thing if we want to protect the environment, but that is another debate altogether, my point is that I think Aussies are capable great change and hopefully religious freedom will be a big part of it.
Sandi - thanks for that injection of optimism :) - Just so you know, I voted Green - because I figure the others can vote Labour and make up the numbers - the fringe needs some boosting too - as then it's a proper democracy... :)
From what I've read of their platform (little) I like it...but yeah, good luck getting atheists to agree to a political platform. It would be interesting to see the Objectivists and the Communists on the same ticket...
LOL - I really think they might learn something from the Australian experience - they've already had a break away from the secular party with the atheist party due to in fighting...

Aluminum cans emblazoned with the Diet Coke logo huddle on a conveyer belt waiting to be blasted with ionized air, a cleaning technique that replaced water at the Coca-Cola bottling plant in College Park, Ga.
The change is part of Coca-Cola Enterprises' effort to lessen its impact on the environment and reduce its mammoth carbon footprint –– an estimated 6.1 million metric tons of CO2-equivalent emissions in 2007.
The company, based in Atlanta but separate from the Coca-Cola Company, distributed 2 billion cases of beverage worldwide last year, generating revenues of $21.8 billion.
In 2005, company leaders started on a path to cut CCE's carbon footprint 15 percent by 2020. They also pledged to leave a water-neutral impact on the communities where they operate and to recover the equivalent of 100 percent of their packaging.
The goal of 15 percent may sound modest, but CCE plans to produce and sell twice as much product by 2020, says Chairman and CEO John Brock.
The company appears to be making progress. CCE was just ranked first in the food and beverage industry (#36 overall) in Newsweek's Green Rankings. Two years ago, the bottling process required 1.95 liters of water to make a liter of beverage. Today, it takes 1.73 liters of water. A European plant is down to 1.3 liters. To get even lower, CCE will have to replenish the watershed, Brock says. The company does that through rain gardens, water filtration systems and rainwater harvesting.
Efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions will be "driven through innovation and technology," Brock says. The company will not rely on offsets –– contributions to pollution-prevention efforts made to mitigate environmental impact.
Here are some steps the company has taken:
• Hybrid trucks: CCE has 328 hybrid trucks in its fleet. The company is piloting fully electric vehicles and exploring forklifts powered by fuel cells. New diesel trucks have replaced inefficient older models.
• Lighting: Replacing out-of-date lighting with energy-efficient products has cut energy use as much as 50 percent in some facilities.
• Alternative energy: Three facilities in California are using solar panels to generate electricity, and the company is researching wind energy in Great Britain.
• Efficient vending machines: Vending machines are a major contributor of greenhouse-gas emissions. CCE has developed smart vending machines that can activate lights and adjust cooling based on usage.
CCE and other beverage companies responded to pressure in the early 1990s to eliminate hydrofluorocarbons from refrigeration equipment. Coca-Cola Enterprises went a step further in creating "the Prius of vending machines," says Kert Davies, research director for Greenpeace U.S. "What they have done with refrigeration has raised the bar," he says. "They took it as a challenge to build the greenest machine they could."
But Greenpeace does not endorse Coke products or other aspects of the production cycle, such as acquisition of water for the Dasani brand, which has been criticized by environmental groups as predatory. "This is a delicate dance we do," Davies says. "There are important chances to collaborate ... but we are not greenwashing them."
Brock says his company has worked with organizations, including the World Wildlife Fund, as well as government agencies and other corporations in an effort to address global environmental problems. "There's a collective will," he says, adding that the company has not found common ground with some environmental groups, though collaboration is more possible now than just a few years ago. "The game has changed."
The company's motivation is to do right by the planet and by the business, Brock says. Energy conservation and waste reduction enhance the bottom line. CCE also wants to improve its image among consumers, many of whom have chastised the company for marketing unhealthy products to children. (Brock notes that CCE voluntarily replaced carbonated soft drinks in school vending machines with healthier drinks, a route preferable to government regulation.)
He goes on to discuss CCE's efforts to educate consumers about the importance of exercise and making healthy food and drink choices. But he doesn't apologize for the products he sells. "We cater to all consumers' tastes," he says. "We provide moments of pleasure for people around all geographies at a reasonable price."
By calculating its footprint and publishing its findings, the company hopes to convey transparency and honesty. It also hopes to be perceived as a leader in the charge toward sustainable business practices, working with Carbon Trust and other organizations on standard measures.
In some areas, the financial aspect of doing right by Mother Earth has proved problematic. For example, plastic remains expensive to recycle. "It's just as cheap to use virgin plastic as recycled," Brock says. CCE has a "hugely vested interest" in making recycled plastics economically attractive, and that could prove a more powerful force in advancing technology than pressure from advocacy groups.
"It's a journey, not a destination," Brock says. "Each year we get better."
Many of the company's changes are on a smaller scale. Yes, executives have scaled back on airplane travel, Brock says, noting that he recently interviewed a job candidate in New York using remote technology rather than flying her to Atlanta.
Employees have found ways to cut waste, such as eliminating duplicate packing slips and repairing wooden palates for reuse instead of discarding them.
The bottling plant in Georgia once needed seven Dumpsters and now only needs two because of recycling efforts. Office Manager Kim Johnson removed Styrofoam cups from the break rooms, which are equipped with fountains, and supplied employees with a reusable bottle.
"I liked that idea a lot," says Johnson, whose next goal is to get employees to bring their own coffee mugs. "I liked it because it was simple."
