Jets suspend Dimitri Patterson indefinitely
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. >> Dimitri Patterson ended his puzzling absence after 48 hours, but his future with the New York Jets is now uncertain.
The Jets "indefinitely" suspended the veteran cornerback Monday after he left the team Friday without contacting the organization. General manager John Idzik said Patterson spoke to him and coach Rex Ryan on Sunday night, but neither Idzik nor Ryan would discuss the reason for the absence.
"Obviously, Dimitri felt he acted appropriately, but until we discussed it last night, you don't understand," Idzik said. "And, to be honest, we're still trying to understand all that went behind it. So, I would rather not characterize it."
Idzik added that the "indefinite" suspension will be "brief," but the 31-year-old Patterson will face more discipline once the team has gathered all the facts. Patterson wasn't on the practice field Monday.
"It'll give us a little time to gather more information around what led to his behavior," Idzik said. "I think that way, we'll feel like we'll make a very well-informed decision as to what discipline will be forthcoming and there will be discipline involved."
Idzik wouldn't speculate whether that could result in further suspension, fines or Patterson being released. Ryan said "it's safe to say" he has never been involved in a situation in which a player didn't show up for a game.
"I don't want to say anything one way or the other about the situation because it's a serious situation," Ryan said after practice. "How I feel, whatever, I'll just leave as private thoughts right now."
Patterson was with the team last Thursday night at a walkthrough practice at Hofstra University. Idzik said he was also at meetings, a walkthrough and the pregame meal Friday, but didn't show for the preseason game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Patterson, who has been dealing with ankle, calf and quadriceps injuries all summer, was expected to play against the Giants, but it was uncertain how much. He gave the Jets no warning he would leave the team, and no one in the organization knew if Patterson was even OK physically until his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, was able to confirm that Saturday.
Idzik announced that Patterson had gone missing during a conference call Sunday. A few hours later, Patterson, through Rosenhaus, told Idzik he would return to the facility that night to speak to them.
"The conversations we had with Dimitri will remain private," Idzik said. "He presented what led up to that, and basically last night was a listening session for Rex and for me, to understand what went into it. Now that the lines of communication are open, there will be two-way discourse now, which I think will be healthy."
In a text message to ESPN's Josina Anderson, Patterson said he was OK, but took issue with reports that said he was AWOL, calling them "comical."
When told of Patterson's comments, Idzik said: "I'll just say, he left and we didn't hear from him until we saw him yesterday evening."
Patterson's teammates said they had no idea he was going to not show up for the game, and they were surprised to hear he was nowhere to be found.
"Dimitri's a great person and I never expected him not to show for the game," cornerback Darrin Walls said. "I've never known him to miss anything. He's always on time and he's always present for everything else, so to not see him was kind of a shock."
Quarterback Michael Vick became good friends with Patterson while the two played together for two years in Philadelphia. Vick was sad to hear about the situation.
"Dimitri's a great player and a guy who has put in a lot of hard work throughout the course of his career, and he has an opportunity to do some great things with this team," Vick said. "I don't know what happened. I just hope it works out for him."
Patterson was expected to start for the Jets as long as he was healthy. New York signed him to a one-year, $3 million deal in April, but now there are questions about his commitment to the team.
"That's what we're going to try to decipher," Idzik said. "That's why you really want to get to the bottom of it."
The Jets are in troubling shape at cornerback with Patterson's situation the latest in a dismal summer for the team at that spot. Top cornerback Dee Milliner is still recovering from a high ankle sprain and might not be ready for the regular-season opener. Third-round pick Dexter McDougle is out for the year with a torn knee ligament, and safety-turned-cornerback Antonio Allen is dealing with a concussion.
But before Patterson is reinstated, the Jets are gathering information to find out whether he can be counted on.
"I think you have to let that kind of unfold," Idzik said. "We're still going through that. Trust is earned over time."

'Anchorman 2' gets release date
Ready to get classy again?
Anchorman director Adam McKay tweeted news that will delight fans of the original 2004 film.
"It's official. Anchorman 2 has a release date: December 20, 2013," he told his followers. "Very excited."
Judd Apatow, who produced the original film, also chimed in about the news, writing, "One year from tomorrow Anchorman 2 will be in theaters!! It is kind of a big deal." He was retweeted more than 4,800 times.
"We're all coming back – it starts shooting in the spring," Paul Rudd told Access Hollywood at the This Is 40 premiere last week. "I'm very excited for it."
There is buzz that Kristin Wiig may join the cast as a love interest for Steve Carell's Brick Tamland.
Will Ferrell, who plays anchorman Ron Burgundy, told ABC last month that the Anchorman 2 plot will focus on the transition of old-school news to the modern entertainment news of the 24-hour news cycle. "Ron's going to be one of the catalysts of that," Ferrell said.

Heavy mobile phone usage tied to poor fitness: study
Perhaps not too surprisingly, spending copious amounts of time hovering over your mobile phone -- texting, emailing, gaming, or watching videos -- doesn't do much for your fitness.
Reported in Runners World on Thursday, Kent State University found that university students who spent large amounts of time on their phone -- as much as a truly obsessed 14 hours per day -- were less fit than those who spent around 90 minutes a day.
While the concept of mobile devices allows "on the go" communication, the more students used their devices, the more sedentary they were, the report said. Plus those who spent more time on their mobile devices were more likely to engage in other sedentary forms of entertainment, such as playing video games or watching films.
Low-frequency users, on the other hand, "were more likely to report being connected to active peer groups through their cell phones and to cite this as a motivation for physical activity."
"The possibility that cell phone use may encourage physical activity among some low-frequency users while disrupting physical activity and encouraging sedentary activity among high-frequency users helps explain the significant negative relationship between cell phone use and cardiorespiratory fitness identified in this study," the authors write.
The study appeared online in the journal International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity.

So many of the guest artists that are featured by the San Antonio Symphony and other area performing arts groups have incredible resumes. They have performed with all the great orchestras and in the world's great concert halls… they have been lent fabulous Stradivarius violins by a generous donor… they have gone to the greatest music schools in the world… they have many successful recordings… etc. Bringing world-class artists to town is an important part of most of our arts organizations' mission.
When you read a lot of these performing artist bios, sometimes they seem similar enough that they run together. But reading the bio of one of the guest artists for this weekend's Holiday Pops caught my attention. This guest:
1) is both a singer, songwriter and a producer,
2) sings in multiple languages, including Yiddish,
3) has sung the National Anthem at Spurs games, and
4) is a native of San Antonio.
The soloist is Cristal Smith and she is billed as a contralto and a gospel artist. She is a graduate of the University of the Incarnate Word. Her bio states, "While classically trained, Ms. Smith's has developed a unique musical style that is all her own, through a fusion of gospel, jazz, classical, rock, and blues. She performs music in several different languages including German, Latin, Yiddish, Italian, Spanish and French. However, her desire is to minister to the hearts of the people so that no matter what language she's singing the music is understood because the audience can feel it within their soul."
You can enjoy Cristal's performance this weekend at the Symphony's annual Holiday Pops.

Previously, DC Comics has had an exclusive deal with Amazon, which meant that any Nook users were left out in the cold. From today, that's no longer the case.
DC Comics has announced that more than 100 graphic novels, including Watchmen, The Sandman, and The New 52, will now be available to read on Nook devices—well, the Tablet and Color at least—as well as on Android devices running the Nook app.
While that's good news for Nook-toting Watchmen fans everywhere, it's good news for hardcopy comic book readers, too. Previously Barnes & Noble took the DC snub rather badly, and pulled all the comic books exclusive to Amazon from the shelves of its stores. Now they're available on Nook too, that should all change.

Market volatility and global instability are often good for gold, as investors seek a safe haven.
In July, for instance, gold exchange-traded funds saw their largest inflows since November 2012, rising by nearly 484,000 ounces, according to a report published by ETF Securities on Monday.
But the momentum behind that metal is nothing compared to the positive gains of palladium.
Palladium futures have been trading at about $895 per ounce, a level they haven't seen since early 2001.
The reason? Traders fears that sanctions could limit the export of this commodity — which is used for major car parts and hydraulic fracturing for natural gas — from Russia. In fact, some traders predict that the metal could rise to $1,000 an ounce.
Meanwhile, gold prices are up only about 5% this year.
For investors — who may own the ETFS Physical Palladium Shares ETF (PALL) — the metal is up 22% this year, and earlier this week, it made 13-year highs as it broke above $900 per troy ounce. Gold, meanwhile, is only up 5% in 2014.
The SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), for instance, has risen roughly 6% year to date. That puts it behind the S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which has improved about 7%.
"Relative to gold, [palladium's] obviously outperformed quite significantly," said Steven Pytlar, chief equity strategist at Prime Executions, told CNBC on Thursday. "There does appear to be more upside, at least according to the charts, on the long-term timeframe."
"Depletion of the Russian inventory has been a big issue," explained David Seaburg, head of equity sales trading at Cowen & Co., on the same program.
The price of palladium is rising due to increasing auto sales in China and the United States, which depend on it for the production of catalytic converters.
Supplies of the metal, also, are "very constrained," according to Mike McGlone, ETF Securities' U.S. director of research. Strikes earlier this year on South Africa caused a shock to production, he adds.
Global Dynamics
On the flipside, the physical demand for gold is falling.
The World Gold Council's second-quarter report points to the fact that the surge in gold demand of 2013 is no more.
Gold jewelry fabrication, for instance, is down nearly 30% year over year to 518 ton. The demand for bars and coins declined about 55% in Q2'14 vs. last year.
"In the near term, we believe investor flows — both in the futures market and ETP market — will be the main driver of the gold price, with perceptions of real interest rate trends and geopolitical risks playing the dominant role," McGlone wrote in a report released on Monday.
"On this basis, we believe the gold price will continue to trade in a relatively narrow range in the near term, barring a significant global macro or political shock," he noted.
Other factors limiting gold's upside at present are the perception that inflation is not a concern and the rising strength of the U.S. dollar.
Oil prices, for instance, are at a one-year low. In addition, concerns that Russian geopolitical tensions would drive up energy prices have subsided.
Meanwhile, gold miners have improved their performance and are outperforming both the metal and palladium.
The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), for instance, is up 33% year to date. And the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) has improved 24%.
In the last month, though, these two ETFs have moved into negative territory, as palladium has risen.

Currently we (AiA) have fansubbed till episode 32 actually. Just waiting on DVDs to arrive to continue. Now, to the best of my knowledge, once we finish TV, we'll be doing GaoGaiGar Final (Not much point in doing the continuation before finiahing the first one).
As for current releases of GGGF... The only one I've ever heard of was ripped Hong Kong DVDs, but that was a while ago, and I think they were only put on usenet.

GaoGaiGar Appreciation Thread
GaoGaiGar is a favorite show of mine, and Anime-in-Action has been doing a fantastic job subbing it. There havn't been many threads about it, so now that episode 35 is out I figured I'd start my own.
The music is excellent, the animation is grand, and the story is far more engaging than such a light-hearted show deserves to be. Thank you, AIA for subbing this wonderful show.
Also, Volfogg kicks serious ass.

I've seen the series before, long ago when digisubbing wasn't nearly as feasable as it is today, but I'm loving it all over again. I can't wait until you guys in AiA get to Final, as I haven't seen that yet, but by all means finish the tv series first.
Apparently Takara either completely or jointly owns the rights to the tv series, Takara made the toy line that went with the show, and their demand is that the show can only be licensed if the toyline is as well. Bad business sense if you ask me, since if the show was brought over here a market for the toys would be soon to follow. Plus GGG could easily be turned into a television series over here.
So yeah, the point is the show will most likely never be licensed.

Currently, only two(that I know of) of the some 8 Space-Police series' have been re-released on DVD and that is Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh and Hero Ex-Kaizer--supposedly the first series that started the Space-Police saga. The Raijin-Oh DVD Boxset is a monster 10-DVD box which houses all 51 episodes of the original TV series as well as four OVAs produced during and after the initial run. The price... 55000 Yen--count the zeroes--and I am so tempted to actually spend that much

Eldoran? And Raijin-Oh is not a part of Yuusha. The Yuusha titles are: Brave Exkaiser, Brave of the Sun: Fighbird, Legendary Brave Da Garn, Brave Police J-Decker, Brave Express Might Gaine, Golden Brave Goldran, Brave Command Dagwon, and King of Braves GaoGaiGar (as well as BaanGaan which only appears in the Brave Saga video games). As far as "ancient protector"s go, each series has a different setup for the robots. Some have ancient protectors, some are made by mad scientists, others by corporations.
The spinoffs from the Yuusha titles are the Dagwon and GGG OVA's, Betterman (set in the GGG universe about 8-10 years after the series ends), and Brigadoon (set in the GGG universe about 30 years before the series begins).

On the other hand, you are right--I'm been mixing the Yuusha series--which features self-supporting, sentient robots--with the Eldoran Series, which require pilots. It's no wonder as I watched Da-Gaan and Gunbalger almost back-to-back back then

Can someone give me more information on how all these Yuusha shows are related? Are they just set in the same universe? Do they have certain characters that show up in multiple shows or are they all just based on a certain idea but don't have any real relation storyline wise? I'd especially like to know how Brigadoon and Betterman relate because I've only watched a bit of each but they didn't mean to have anything to do GGG except the fact that there's mechs in them.

Also, it's pretty important to note that "Brave Of Legend Da-Garn" is not the same show as "Brave Command Daguon". The former is a Captain Planet-esque show from 1992, whereas the later is a show from 1996 that is more like animated Sentai. They are, however, both Brave shows.

Actually, there are links between some of the Yuusha series, though tenative, in the form of cameos.
So that's ExKaiser, Fighbird, Da Garn, and J-Decker all tied together, oddly enough through Da Garn. Might Gaine is plainly in its own universe though. I haven't watched Goldran so I don't know if there were any cameos there. As far as Dagwon, none stick out in my mind, but it's been a while since I watched it. And lastly I haven't noticed any cameos yet in GGG, but I haven't watched ahead of the fansubs.

Accommodation and facilities:
The family who run this hotel are simply charming and delightful and cannot do enough to help. Our room was smaller than expected and getting out of the double bed at one side was impossible, but it was a comfortable bed. The tV was ancient and the channels were nearly all Thi, but with all the restaurants just down the street, there was little time to watch TV.
Reservation service:
Just like other booking sites of reputation. Functional but with the odd frustration when it sends you in. A loop!

Hotel rooms and surrounds do not match the photos. It is a bit fun down and needs TLC. check in friendly and helpful but rest of hotel a bit depressing and not an inexpensive option. The hotel gets locked at 9.00 and you have to let yourself in through one of several entrances. Ours was through a dark storage area. Rooms clean enough but dated and a bit basic. We found Saladan itself a charmless place and were glad to head South down the island

这是一家guesthouse,位置非常临近saladan核心区,但又躲避了吵闹并临近沙滩,在我们住的房间就可以看到海。虽然不是很大面积的白沙滩,但是有一大片浅滩还不错,处于入海港的外延海域,只适合晒太阳泡海澡,不适合浮潜等其他海上娱乐项目,由于大片浅滩并且面向西北,所以旱季海水比较平静,海水本身还是比较清澈的,偶尔会有些水母搁浅在沙滩上,亮晶晶,也挺好玩。guesthouse老板一家人很好,老板家帅气文质彬彬的儿子更是非常乐于助人,房间设施基本够用,跟网站上图片上的一样,无线网很快,热水淋浴很好,但是房间和卫生间都不宽敞,但该有的都有,小楼一共三层,二和三层是房间,没有电梯。周围吃饭很方便,旁边的一家瑞典餐厅餐饮和景观、情调都很棒,我们在那里度过了两个下午和sunset,惬意得很。楼下有另一个酒店的massage不错,泰式和足底300THB,oil、coconut oil和mix(thai+oil)都是400THB,都是公道价格,非常舒服,这几种我们都尝试了,离开lanta那天,chechout后又去做了一次,然后一身轻松的坐船去了PhiPhi。定的房间不含早餐,我们自己在超市买的早餐,在房间吃的,所以他家的餐我们不了解。总之以一个guesthouse的标准来衡量,很值得推荐。

We stayed in a fan room, so it was less comfortable than AC one because of mosquitoes or I don t know what was biting us during each night... Actually, it s not usual 3-stars hotel in Thai, more likely 2-stars. Hotel is located near quiet beach and restaurants built on wooden columns in the lagoon.

Однозначной оценки нет. Есть плюсы и минусы. Вокруг много магазинов, кафешек. Купаться в море некомфортно, очень мелко, в этом месте впадает река и соответственно несет с собой грязь. Рядом порт. Купаться нужно ездить на тук туке. Номер очень милый, с холодильником, но кровати оставляют желать лучшего, пружины и простынь.

The landlady was an excellent host, and one of the few who can communicate in English. Always ready to help and fix things with a smile. The place however is not a resort, more a guest house rather, with basic facilities. The cheap rooms can be a bit lacking, while the seaview ones are certainly worth the upgrade (which we indeed opted for, for the last three days).

This is a sweet guesthouse in Saladan (no resort). The rooms are clean but small. Wifi did only work at the balcony. Water in the shower was poor sometimes. The owner is superfriendly and sweet! It is just 10 minutes walking from the pier and very central but still very quiet, a lot of restaurants and shopping to choose from. There is a small store next to the guesthouse. You can choose from three sets of breakfast, american, continental and cereal and they have the best fried eggs ever! We thought the beach (100 meters) is very good but it is not white sand and not rock-free. Don t forget to take a massage while you are there :-) We would love to stay there again!

Food Artisans: Bronx Baking Co.
A different New York artisan every week.
After a German friend complained about not being able to find good soft pretzels in New York, Alexis Faraci did a lot of research and a lot of tasting, eventually determining that, as she says, "most pretzels in the city are just white bread in a pretzel shape." So she set out to make a traditional lye-dipped pretzel. Once she was satisfied with the product, she started Bronx Baking Co., working out of a commercial kitchen on City Island, to make them available to the pretzel-starved masses.
The idea, she says, was to make the pretzels themselves delicious on their own. "I wanted people to be able to enjoy it without having to slather it with stuff," she explains. But once she was satisfied on that score, she started experimenting with variations, currently offering a bacon-wrapped version. Other flavors, including stuffed pretzels and pretzel rolls, are in the works.
The pretzel dough is shaped, dipped into a food-grade lye solution, then immediately baked. The lye dip is "where the shine, the slightly bitter taste, and the dark color come from," Faraci explains. "Those pretzels you can buy from street carts may just have an egg wash." The lye actually begins "cooking" the outside a little before it goes into the oven, which contributes to the texture of a traditional pretzel, that thin shell of a crust surrounding the dense dough. The pretzels are currently available only in the five boroughs, since freshness is so important to the flavor and texture.
Bronx Baking Co. also makes cookies, a combination of classics like salted chocolate chip, chocolate peanut butter sables, nods to Faraci's Italian heritage like the rum bomb, "a two-bite rum cake," and a cookie currently known as "cannoli cookie" while she thinks up a new name. It combines cannoli flavors like pistachio, orange, and chocolate, but doesn't have any cream.
One thing Faraci is hoping to do with her new business is to help promote her borough, as well as other small food businesses in the Bronx. "There's a lot to see in the Bronx," she explains, much of it informed by the rich food traditions of both long-time residents and newcomers. "Burek have popped up on every corner because there are so many Albanian immigrants," she explains. "Brooklyn has such a positive connotation because of its food," she says, "I want to draw that kind of attention to the Bronx."

Only a few weeks ago (September 29th) we brought you our coverage of the British Car Day show at the world famous Petersen Automotive Museum. Now we move to another part of Europe where you find famous marques such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and more.
This past Saturday, October 12th, the Petersen once again opened its doors to car nuts from all over Southern California to enjoy Bratwurst and beer as well as free access to the museum for those who entered a car. Below you will find a handful of our favorites (chosen by your author), with a heavy dose of Porsche. Let us know in the comments section below which of these German beauties is your favorite.
1970 Porsche 911T
One thing led to another and now I've owned it since 2002.
This car was absolutely stunning and immediately grabbed our attention. Although it may look like an authentic Martini car, this is actually a tribute car. The owner is the restorer of the car, originally owned by a customer who had been taking the car to his shop since 1983. In 2002 the then current owner (a woman in her late 80's and the original owner) brought the car in as the result of her first accident, which she was the victim of. The insurance company was not willing to fix, so that's when the current owner jumped in. "One thing led to another and now I've owned it since 2002," the owner said. About a year and a half ago he had built a 2.5L twin plug motor for the car, which makes it a little faster than your typical S spec '70 T. More power is never a bad thing.
1973 BMW 2002 Tii
It's a great car for going out in the canyons and chasing motorcycles.
Surprisingly, this was one of only a few BMWs at the show, but boy was it something special. The owner started a ground up restoration in 2008 and just finished this year in June. "Like any ground up restoration, it went further than was originally intended. It came out just the way I wanted. It's the sixth one I've built since high school," the owner said. Although he doesn't race it, the engine is one of the best parts of the car. Making this even more special is the 'Tii' attached to the name, which means fuel injected (these models are more rare than your typical 2002). It has a 2.0L engine with a seven quart racing capacity oil pan, longer rods (144mm- 5.6in compared to 135mm- 5.3in), aluminum JE pistons and more. "It's a great car for going out in the canyons and chasing motorcycles." A total wreck when he first got it, the owner has put some serious TLC into his 2002. The Electric Blue paint is fitting for this little rocket, making 197hp and 180 lb-ft of torque all while weighing less than 2000 lb.
1970 Porsche 914-6
Being the only 914 built with a full set of matching numbers, the owner is fully aware of its value.
When you think of a rare car, probably 'one of ten' comes to mind, or 'the only surviving example.' What about the first production example ever made? This 914-6 is the first one to be shown in the US in October of 1969 at the Boston Car Show. It was also used to introduce the Porsche Audi dealership chain in 1969. Part prototype and part production car, this 914-6 is Euro-spec. Unfortunately, when Porsche was done showing the car, they couldn't sell it for street use so it was sold with the intention of racing. Equipped with a 914-6 driveline, 914-6 GT front suspension and brake system, full racing 914-6 GT 2.0L racing twin plug engine, and a racing transmission with limited-slip differential. Number 0011, this car was used as an example for the production team as to how many people would be required to produce it and how they would need to assemble the car. Being the only 914 built with a full set of matching numbers, the owner is fully aware of its value.
1957 Oval Window Volkswagen Beetle
My friends ask me why I bring all that stuff with me to the show, then they see me winning and understand.
In a sea of Porsche's we found this pretty little bug in perfect condition. The owner has had the car for six years now, but it was in pretty bad shape when he found it. It had navy blue paint, which was incorrect, so the current owner researched and repainted to the correct Horizon Blue. The interior was redone, the engine powder coated, skirts (not stock), different tailpipes and steering wheel were added along with a radio that actually works. Although it looks comfortable to drive every day, this is a show car, while his '66 Square Back is used as a daily driver. "As a kid I had a love for VW. My neighbors had them but my parents didn't. I used to be in this day care club and I would be picked up in a VW Bus. I remember the smell of the gas, and the sound of it." When the owner shows his Beetle, he usually comes prepared with a tiki themed display. "My friends ask me why I bring all that stuff with me to the show, then they see me winning and understand."
2006 Porsche Carrera S
I've had this for about seven years and I'll probably keep it till the day I die.
In a subtle grey, this Carrera was the first to stick out at the German Show. The owner has had the car since new, purchasing it in Florida before moving to California. Although the car is fairly stock, the ECU has been remapped and visually looks very well taken care of. "I've had this for about seven years and I'll probably keep it till the day I die," the owner commented. Having always been a car nut, he has taken part in SCC amateur road racing in race-spec Miatas at various tracks such as Daytona and Sebring. "It helps calm me down on the highway, because I get it all out on the track." Waiting most of his life to finally be able to own his first Porsche, the owner has always been a German car fan with his first car being a VW.
Now that you have seen what weekends have in store at the Petersen Museum, be sure and take your modern, classic, or whatever is in your garage for a good time. We hope to see you at the next Cruise-In!

Impact of Total Rewards on Animation Employees' Engagement
The researchers examine the impact of total rewards on engagement by multiple regression analysis in this paper. The sample for the study is 800 animation employees in South China. SPSS17.0 and AMOS18 are used in exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The study proves that: (a) Total rewards are a multi-hierarchical and multi-dimensional construct which includes 7 first-order factors and 4 second-order factors. (b) Challenging working environment, appreciation and recognition, promotion opportunity and individual variable pay have significant positive impacts on employee engagement, and the contribution rate are 42.0%, 11.6%, 1.4% and 0.9% respectively. (c) Individual fixed salary, collective salary and spiritual rewards have no significant positive impacts on employee engagement. The study has further enriched the theories of total rewards and employee engagement and has provided the theoretical basis and empirical evidence supports to the management of the animation companies for them to carry out the incentive programs to the employees.

Professor Cosmas Tzavelis is responsible for the development, direction, and operation of this laboratory. This laboratory is used in CE 121 and CE 361. The laboratory is also used in CE 369, and by master's students for their research. The 2,400 sq. ft. facility has the following capability:
This laboratory houses the MTS 810 System that is capable of performing a wide variety of standard materials tests. The system consists of the following major components: load frame and actuator with a maximum capacity of 100 KN or 22,000 lbs., hydraulic power supply, microconsole (command post), microprofiler (programming post), A/D Boards, computer/printer and software, oscilloscope and accessories (e.g., grips, extensometers, etc.). The newly acquired MTS 793 Control software is available to perform tension tests, compression tests and low and high cycle fatigue tests.
Linear and rotary actuators that operate in conjunction with MTS 810 system but they provide additional flexibility in several areas. For example, the linear actuator permits a larger test bed for full-scale or proportional structural applications. In addition, the linear actuator has swivel capability, so that it can be positioned for horizontal, inclined or vertical load applications. The rotary actuator permits application of programmable dynamic loads to a specimen in torsion.
A universal testing machine with capacity of 120,000lb is available for a full range of tension, compression, bending, and buckling tests.
Students can use a complete range of strain gage instrumentation for the measurement and analysis of strain and stress in scale models or full-scale structures.
A vibration table for the dynamic excitation of beams or framed skeletal structural models is available for student use. Capabilities include the determination of amplitude and frequency and some vibration control.
A large test bed for heavy loading of structural systems and hydraulic loading frames are available for structural testing.
There is also a separate 400 sqft concrete mixing and casting room and another separate humidity and temperature controlled curing room for concrete.
A complete list of equipment in this laboratory, and other laboratories, is given in Appendix C.

BEIJING - China will be "flexible" in UN talks for a new global climate change deal, but the key to progress is getting rich nations to keep pledges to fund mitigation steps by poorer countries, the country's top climate change official said on Tuesday.
Representatives of more than 190 nations gather in the Polish capital of Warsaw from Nov 11 to 22 to push towards a new global deal to cut climate-warming greenhouse gases that is set to take effect by 2020.
Last month, the United States' chief climate change envoy, Todd Stern, urged a more flexible approach over a new pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, saying nations should be allowed to set individual timetables and commitments.
China was just as willing to compromise, said the country's chief negotiator, Xie Zhenhua, who is also vice-director of top economic planning body the National Development and Reform Commission.
"As long as it is fair, and accords with the principle of'common but differentiated responsibilities', as long as it has the agreement of all parties, and as long as it is in line with agreements already reached, we have a very flexible approach,"Xie told reporters, adding that he had seen Stern's remarks.
China is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, blamed by scientists for causing dangerous climate change. The United States is next, followed by the European Union.
Xie said funding was critical to solving the disputes, with richer countries still not having released funds promised in 2009 to help poorer nations adapt to climate change and to cut their own emissions.
The measures included "fast-start" funds of $30 billion by 2015 and an annual fund of $100 billion to developing countries by 2020.
Developing nations would only be obliged to meet climate change pledges once funding from richer nations was in place, the NDRC said in a document issued ahead of the news conference.
Despite the delay by industrialised nations, some developing countries, including China, had taken action, Xie said.
"Although the developed countries have not lived up to their commitments, developing countries have taken active measures to combat climate change, especially China," he said.
Xie confirmed that three cities and provinces in China - Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai - would launch emissions trading markets before the end of the year, adding to a carbon trading scheme introduced in Shenzhen in June.
The central government aims to use emissions trading to reach a target of cutting emissions per unit of GDP to 40 per cent to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020.
The schemes will force electricity generators and manufacturers to cap emissions at levels set by the local government or buy permits from companies limiting their carbon output.

Bearing Witness: Women and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa
Pluto Press, 2003 - History - 206 pages
People who witness acts of terror and violence are often called after the event to bear witness to what they saw. In cases where this violence is inflicted by the state upon its own people, the process of bearing witness is both politically complex and traumatic for the individual involved. Independent trials and commissions have become important mechanisms through which the truth of past violence is sought in democratising states, but to date there has been little close attention to the processes and complexity of the work of such institutions.Fiona Ross's fascinating study of the process of bearing witness is the first book to examine the gendered dimensions of this topic from an anthropological and ethnographic viewpoint. Taking as a key example the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, Ross explores women's relationships to testimony, particularly the extent to which women avoid talking about or are silent about certain forms of violence and suffering. Offering a wealth of first-hand examples, Ross approaches a more subtle understanding of the achievements and the limitations of testimony as a measure of suffering and recovery generally. Is it, she asks, the panacea it is usually seen as? Or do conventional discourses on human rights, suffering and reconciliation oversimplify an altogether more complex and problematic process?

Few requests for developers to consider (all suggestions based on KDE Plasma widgets, no original thinking )
- Comic strip viewer - Like xkcd comics, it will be good to have a viewer where Comic can be selected. Would love to see Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, PhD
- Dictionary - Simple English dictionary
- RSS Feed reader - Display title + some text of feed and ability to add xml urls in configuration
- Magic folder - TTo add add files to folders based on file extensions. Really helps me in cleaning my Downloads folder mess
Please +1 / add your favorite utilities you would like to add on desktop. (As Clem says, "KDE calls them Plasmoids, Android calls them Widgets, in Cinnamon they're called "Desklets". The same way you can add applets to your panel, you can add desklets to your desktop.")

The Mercedes-AMG GT S embodies the sensual purity of sportiness and emotion. The two-seater is characterized by hallmark rear-wheel-drive proportions. The V8 biturbo front mid-engine ensures optimum weight distribution, which forms the basis for superb driving dynamics. The long hood with its pronounced powerdomes, the greenhouse, which has been moved far back, the large wheels and broad tail end, make up the distinctive looks.
The interior design embodies maximum emotion and sensual purity. Radically low, sporty proportions create a unique sense of spaciousness. Clearly drawn components and their authentic materials highlight the dynamic character and instantly generate excitement: Anyone opening the door discovers an exciting interplay between the deep, sloping dashboard and a dominant, arched high center console, a design which evokes emotions and impresses with its perfection.
The already outstanding performance of the Mercedes-AMG GT is boosted still further in the Mercedes-AMG GT S. The car impresses with its clearly enhanced potential. Brutal, when the V8 biturbo starts up with its output of 384 kW (522 hp) and torque of 670 Nm. Thrilling, when the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sport transmission translates the power into acceleration. Magnificent, when the switchable AMG Performance exhaust system gives off its sound.Learn more

If you are anything like me, the whole iPod dock thing is getting way, way old. However, one look at this stylish Boynq Wake Up iPod Dock Alarm Clock is (almost) enough to make you fall in love with iPod docks again. The Wake Up isn't just a pretty face however, because it also features a 20-watt amp, a wireless remote that can be docked in place of your iPod, video out so you can play movies on the TV, and an FM radio. If you live in Europe you can get it now for around $185, but there is no word on whether or not those of us in the States will be able to do the same anytime soon. Also available in black.

Mark Foley was right. There are no ghosts in the town of Brighton, even on a cold Tuesday night in November. With a vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of a bank holiday weekend in every corner, thanks in no small part to the large delegation of trade union representatives congregated in and around the seaside town for Unite's annual conference, it only adds to the already stimulating buzz. Of course Future Of The Left don't require any pre-ordained waves of expectation these days. Entering their ninth year in existence - not to mention the past-life enjoyed by frontman Andy Falkous and drummer Jack Egglestone's (sadly absent this evening on paternal duties) stint in cult heroes Mclusky - this year's fourth long player How To Stop Your Brain In An Accident may well be their finest collection to date. Nevertheless, with a back catalogue full of riches too, the guessing game that ensues among devotees huddled round the bar is more about what songs they won't play this evening than what's included on tonight's setlist.
Beforehand, it's left to hotly tipped trio The Wytches to confound expectations surrounding their own band. Initially - and perhaps unfairly - aligned to the burgeoning psych scene. Due in no small part to their mis-spelt name and logo which bears more than a passing resemblance to the one used in the Nuggets series of garage/psych rock compilations, it's clear from the outset they're more than just another retread of that particular bygone era. Which can be interpreted in one of two ways. Either the band are at pains to distance themselves from such tenuous associations; especially in light of the industry furore currently taking place to secure their long term signatures to any number of labels in waiting; or they're merely chancers throwing as many different genres against the wall in the hope one firmly sticks. Without wishing to be cynical, we're swayed ever so slightly towards the latter school of thought, as the garage number (sounding not a million miles away from The Horrors circa Strange House) is quickly followed by one owing more to grunge and its Nevermind year zero followed by another that boards the psych/glam train currently steered by Charlie Boyer et al and so on. For such a young band, and one as hard working as The Wytches - we're told later in the evening they've played about eighty gigs up and down the land already this year - it would be churlish to dismiss them just yet. However, their main objective at such an early stage of their development revolves around finding their true identity. Resolve that little quandary and the world could be theirs for the taking.
Which brings us onto the reason why we're here in the first place. Regular visitors to Brighton's multi-venue Great Escape shindig will no doubt have found themselves in the intimate confines of The Haunt at one point or another. Compact, cosy, and with a low ceiling that's probably seen more condensation than paint brushed off its exterior, it's the perfect setting for a band of Future Of The Left's stature. While their popularity continues to grow; and understandably so due to the aforementioned How To Stop Your Brain..., they're one of those bands who thrive on interaction at such close proximity with their audience. From the moment Falkous and co. launch into old favourite 'Arming Eritrea' to open proceedings, The Haunt becomes a sweaty sea of contorted bodies, arms and legs akimbo at regular junctures. And that's just on stage. Off it the surge to get to the very front lasts for the entire duration of the set, only subsiding when guitarist Jimmy Watkins makes one of his many excursions into the heaving pit stretching several rows back from the stage.
Following the opener by playing four songs in succession off the new album suggests the band themselves are supremely confident in its quality. And as both 'Bread, Cheese, Bow And Arrow' and 'Johnny Borrell Afterlife' find themselves sung back pretty much word-for-word, it seems their audience are in mutual agreement. Early single 'Manchasm'; which sees Falkous swap guitar for keyboard duties; predictably garners a healthy response, while the introductory chords of 'To Hell With Good Intentions' create scenes of beer spilling, rib crushing pandemonium. Other familiar compositions ('Robocop 4, Fuck Off Robocop') collide incisively with other highlights from the new record - 'I Don't Know What You Ketamine' being especially forceful - until a lengthy 'Lapsed Catholics' including a frantic run through 'Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues' at the song's mid point bring the show to a close. By which point pieces of drumkit sail above our heads, Watkins returns to the pit armed with a sweeping brush and various audience members are invited to the stage where beer bottles are duly gaffa taped to their foreheads.
Only at a Future Of The Left show, but then would anyone really have it any other way?

The I Ching has been used for more than 5000 years as an aid to making decisions, predicting the future, etc. So, if nothing else, it is a long-standing and popular source of wisdom and inspiration.
Our descriptions are based on the output of the Unix ching(6) program. There are a number of books on the I Ching. Wu Wei, in particular, has published several with Power Press.
This page is also available sorted by pattern. There is also an icon-oriented I Ching Square, but it takes a while to ship over our WWW connection. The icon at the top of each page listed below links to the hexagram's opposite. That is, "Ch'ien" (1) and "K'un" (2) are cross-linked.

LONDON — A British court official says a juror was dismissed from a sex abuse trial after discussing the case on Facebook.
Court administrator Peter Carr says the female juror posted details of the case on the social networking site and asked her online friends whether they thought the defendants were guilty.
That violated rules banning British jurors from talking about cases outside court.
Carr says she was removed from the trial at Burnley Crown Court in northwest England on Nov. 18 after her online indiscretions came to light. The case continued with a jury of 11 people. Carr declined to identify the juror by name or give her age.

Is anyone else noticing how unimpressive the penalties are to dying in D3? Durability loss seems mediocre at best, and they even give you the option of where you can res in RoS. I remember the xp loss in D2, and I feel like people should start to care more about whether or not their character dies. Any ideas? Paragon xp loss might be a start...
