— Germanyball
Germanyball, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a sovereign state and federal parliamentary republic in central-western Europe. He includes 16 constituent states, covers an area of 357 021 square kilometers, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. Its capital and largest city is Berlinball. With about 81.8 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous member state of the
European Unionball (EUball). After the United States, he is the second most popular human migration destination.
Reichtangle 4.0
Germanyball is also a member of the G20 (or Group of Twenty), a club formed by the countryballs that have the 19 largest economies plus the EUball (his son); this also applies for the G7, alongside USAball, Canadaball, UKball, Italyball, Franceball, and Japanball.
Germanyball is often portrayed as an overly hard-working, stern, popular countryball who holds other countryballs up to high standards and often berates them
and sends them into debt if they don't meet them. However, under the layer of his stereotypical stoicism is a more tender, caring character, trying to repent for the pain his past has caused.
His national day is on October 3rd. His astrological sign is Libra.
Unification (1871-1890)
Before 1871 Germanyball was known as Kingdom of Prussiaball, from 1866 onwards, as North German Confederationball. After Franceball's defeat in 1815, the numerous German Stateballs, who had formerly been under the protection of Austrian Empireball and the HREball were now defenseless. Prussia took over as the leader of the German Confederation following Austria's 1848 revolutions, and a sense of German unity grew amongst the German stateballs. In 1864 They defeated Denmarkball in the First Schleswig War together, then Prussia defeated Austria in 1866 to form the North German Confederation. In 1870-71, Kingdom of Prussiaball led a hugely successful campaign against Franceball for her Alsace-Lorraineball; this drew in the South German Stateballs, and in 1871, they proclaimed the German Empireball in France Palace of Versailles. Prussia
Anschlussed unified with the stateballs' clay to create the German Empireball, and despite the fact that the other stateballs being able to control their own clay (The German Empire used a confederation-style government), Kingdom of Prussiaball's mind was very much in control.
In 1874 as the German Empireball, Kingdom of Prussiaball started minting German Empire coins, he hosted the 1878 Berlin Conference after the Russo-Turkish War, and German Empireball started trying to play catchup to the other colonial powers of Europe- in 1884 he hosted the Berlin Conference, and the Congo Conference the following year, to divide up African 8ball lands among imperialist European countryballs. He adopted Togoball, Burkina Fasoball, Beninball, Cameroonball, Papua New Guineaball, Namibiaball, Tanzaniaball, Ugandaball, Rwandaball, and Burundiball as colonial subjects.
Weltpolitik and Aggression, then WWI (1890-1918)
In the 1890s, the German Empireball started becoming more and more aggressive. It had started the League of Three Emperors with Austria-Hungaryball and Imperial Russiaball in 1873, but this was disbanded, and in 1882 he formed the Triple Alliance with Austria-Hungaryball and Italyball. However, by the 1890s and 1900s, UKball and Franceball were drawing closer, as was Imperial Russiaball, to form the Triple Entente in response to Germanyball's policy of Weltpolitik in the 1900s.
In 1904 he committed a genocide against 8balls rebelling against his son German Southwest Africaball, and in 1900 he had sent troops to Qing Chinaball's clay, and in 1897 to Crete, examples of his imperialist policies. In 1906 he started a naval arms race against his cousin UKball, over the Dreadnought battleship, raising tensions in Europe even further, especially after the 1905 and 1911 Morrocan crises. In 1914, with tension building among the European powers, Serbiaball killed Austria-Hungaryball's Archduke, and the alliance systems dragged all the major powers into a major war.
Germanyball became a military dictatorship, Reichtangle in the war, he raped Belgiumball and Luxembourgball in August 1914, but was pushed back by Franceball at the River Marne, and beaten to the sea by UKball, thwarting his Schlieffen Plan as Russiaball mobilised against him, and both sides made war on the Western Front.
He allied with Bulgariaball, and Ottoman Empireball, but was betrayed by Italyball and Romaniaball in 1915. His colonial adoptive sons were captured by UKball and Franceball's adoptive children, his Tsingtao was taken by Japanball, and after he sunk the Lusitania, USAball got angry with him. However, it still took until the Zimmerman Telegram in 1917 to get USAball into the war. At the same time, Russiaball was secretly infected with Communism and Bolsheviks rebelled when his father became a republic, and exited the war after the 1918 Treaty of Brest-Litvosk. By now he was exhausted after four years of war, and as his colonies and allies surrendered to the Allies, Reichtangle launched the last push, which was countered by the Hundred days Offensive in August 1918, and he had a revolution to become a republic in November. Shortly after, he signed an Armistice on the 11th of November 1918, and the Great War came to a close with his defeat. He was mutilated beyond belief, and Germanyball was left to take the blame for the War.
Weimar Republic and the Road to War (1918-1939)
In 1919 Germanyball was facing demands from the right and left wing parties, with lots of outbreaks of revolution and Putsch attempts everywhere. He was presented with the humiliating Treaty of Versailles in 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference and had to disband his navy and most of his army, demilitarise the Rhinelands, and pay the Allies £ 6,600,000,000 in war reparations. He also lost clay to Franceball, Belgiumball, Polandball, Lithuaniaball, Czechoslovakiaball, and Denmarkball, and all his adoptive children were adopted by UKball, Franceball, or Japanball. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to Franceball, who invaded his Saarland and Ruhr in 1923-25 when Germanyball couldn't pay his reparations that year due to hyperinflation and economic troubles. He was banned from international affairs but was bailed out by the Dawes and Young plans by USAball in 1924 & 1929, then was accepted back into the international community in 1925 after he signed the Locarno Treaties, and then the 1928 Kellog-Briand Disarmament Pact. He joined the League of Nations in 1926, and his economy and culture prospered in the 'Goldene Zwanziger'.
However when USAball had a stock market crash and went broke in 1929, the world's investors went broke, and Germanyball looked to extremist parties to find a solution. Feeling humiliated and with a desire for revenge for the defeat suffered in the First World War and he became Nazi Germanyball in 1933, and in 1935 began openly re-arming, then he invaded the Saar, rearmed the Rhinelands, and hosted the Oympics in 1935-36. He aligned with Italyball and Empire of Japanball in 1939, after having Anschlussed Austriaball in 1938, as well as taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia in July 1938. He then took advantage of the Munich Agreement, and UKball & Franceball's appeasement policy to annex the rest of Czechoslovakiaball's clay, making Slovakiaball into a puppet state. In 1939 after the non-aggresion pact with the communist Sovietball, Germanyball invaded Polandball's clay in September 1939, beginning the Second World War in Europe.
The Second World War, and Separation (1939-1948)
In 1939, Nazi Germanyball and Sovietball partitioned Polandball's clay, then he blitzkrieged through Western Europe, raping Denmarkball, Norwayball, Netherlandsball, Belgiumball (again!), annexing Luxembourgball in 1940, then raping Franceball in May 1940. UKball evacuated the continent at Dunkirk, afterwhich Germanyball fought his RAF with the Luftwaffe, then tried to bomb him into submission. After UKball stood triumphant after the bombardment, Nazi Germanyball turned on Yugoslaviaball and Greeceball, then on Sovietball in June 1941. Operation Barbarossa initially saw his troops roll through the Western SSRball's clay, and take Smolensk, then advance to within 10 kilometers of Moscow. However the weather drove him back, and Sovietball began pushing him back. He then besieged Leningrad, and tried to hold Stalingrad in the south, where he fought the largest battle in history against Sovietball's troops in December 1942-January 1943. Meanwhile, he also invaded the Free France territories of North Africa, with Vichy Franceball and Italyball's help.
Nazi Germanyball also rounded up Gypsyballs, Jewcubes, and Communists, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses, rebels, political opponents, and homosexuals to exterminate them in death camps from 1942 onwards. But he was defeated at El Alamein and Stalingrad in 1943, and pushed back in North Africa by UKball and USAball, who had joined the war in December 1941. He fought Sovietball's tanks at Kursk, then Kharkov, but was pushed back into Polandball's clay. By mid-1944, he was on the retreat, and after D-Day saw the Allies liberate Franceball's clay, and Italyball switch sides, he was on the verge of defeat. He tried to hide evidence of the Final Solution and the Holocaust, but this was uncovered by Sovietball, who 'liberated' the Eastern European nations. As the Western Allies pushed up the Ardennes after the 1944-45 Battle of the Bulge, and Sovietball pushed into East Preußen, Nazi Germanyball panicked, and by February 1945 Sovietball and the Allies were in Berlin.
He committed suicide in April 1945, and the war ended with V-E day on the 8th-9th of May 1945 in Europe. Afterwards, his
corpse clay was divided into four occupied zones, each administered by Franceball, USAball, UKball, and Sovietball. Germanyball's soul was in the limbo, where he saw that everything that he committed was evil. In the limbo Deathball was his judge and will send Germanyball... to a hot place. Germanyball revealed to Deathball that he was sorry for all his sins and begged for a new chance. Deathball, seeing Germanyball kneeling and crying desperately begging for a new chance, accepted that it would give Germany a new chance ... but on one condition: Germanyball would be split in two by a blow from the Deathball scythe. (Polandball says that Germanyball became a Christian born-again, Estoniaball says that this is only a dream that Germanyball had in a coma... it depends on the point of view).
ReichRawr was formed in 1948, when the Western Allies combined their occupation zones into a piece of clay to gift to Nazi Germany's reanimated body (half of his body actually) West Germany, who joined NATO next year, along with the other Western Allies. In 1949, Sovietball adopted East Germanyball (the other half of Germanyball's body), and tried to blockade West Berlin. The Western Allies responded by airlifting supplies in. The Cold War had begun.
Divided Germany (1948-1990)
In the 1950s, the Cold War saw NATO re-build West Germany and West Berlin, to show it off against the Eastern Bloc communist nations. Sovietball put down a rebellion by East Germanyball in 1953, and built a wall around West Berlin in 1961. In 1957, his brother West Germanyball married Franceball, and had a child with her, EUball after the 1956 Treaty of Rome. In the 1960s, East Germanyball tried to cross the wall many times, but was punished by Sovietball each time he tried. In the later 1960s, West Germanyball would use Ostpolitik to try to improve relationships with his brother and his adoptive father, resulting in the detente in the 1970s, despite the many nuclear missiles placed at the Iron Curtain on the border with East Germanyball's clay.
By the 1980s, however, tensions were high once again, the Able Archer war games in 1983 almost scared Sovietball into launching his own missiles, thinking they were a pre-emptive nuclear missile strike, closely averting a nuclear crisis. In the late 1980s, however, Sovietball's relaxed policies of Glasnost and Perestroika led to East Germanyball and his other forcibly-adopted siblings to protest for their self-determination. In 1989, Hungaryball and Czechoslovakiaball tore down the Iron Curtain, and the Berlin Wall fell on the 9th of November 1989, and USAball's capitalist brands and ideals poured into the former Eastern Bloc almost overnight. In 1990, the Cold War wrapped up, as the two re-united Germanyballs were reunified in June 1990 to form a unified Germanyball once again.
Today (1990-present)
Ever since his reunification in 1990, Germanyball has been busy apologising to Israelcube, and giving him apology guilt-monies, as well as continuing to re-pay his WWI war reparations until 2010. He has been running the EU, and prepping his son EUball to become
the Fourth/Merkelreich more tolerant of refugees, and lending the PIIGS Euromonies, which he adopted in 1999. In 2005, Germanyball can into female leadership. He is now happily married to Franceball, and enjoys a stable relationship with most of Europe after he apologized about the Second World War and the Holocaust (even to Polandball). He now lives in peace, prosperity and progress now. He only uses his power to the good and now is the most popular countryball of the Europe. He overcame his past and now even helps countryballs in the Ex-Dictatorships Anonymous to overcame their past.
Since the migrant crisis, millions of kebabs came into Germany and changed the everyday life.
Role in Polandball ComicsGermanyball appears in most comics (as well as Forms of Deutschland) and he and Franceball are married and the parents of the
Germanyball is a very "stark" and rich country, the breadwinning father-figure of the European Union, and his wealth being the reason for his nickname "Germoney." His most defining characteristic was his workaholism, a serious and efficient man who always abides by the rules and a work ethic only rivalled by East Asian countryballs. He does not tolerate any mistakes he made, is a neat freak, and happens to have a rather pessimistic nature. Unfortunately, being the breadwinner of the European family meant that he had to babysit the more troublesome adopted countryballs such as Italyball, and most especially the cancer that is killing the Euro. And of course to pay for the reparations. Also, these other countries have a lot of excuses to make Germany "gib" money. ("Holocaust holocaust")
His cynical personality was justified, though, by the fact that he had a dark and troubled past, a past that he never wants to talk about. When he (as fragmented German countryballs) lived in poverty conditions while Franceball and UKball were bullying them and treating them like shit; whose adoptive Grandfather was an über-strict and overbearing disciplinarian dedicated to Blood and Iron; whose dreams of "Unity, Justice and Freedom" was repeatedly shattered apart and was reflected in the large amounts of pessimistic philosophy present in German culture (e.g. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, etc.); and went through not just one, but two of the worst mental breakdowns the world has ever seen. He still never had his dream of unity come true as he was halved between West Germanyball and East Germanyball. The traumatic chaos that defined most of Germanyball's life became his defining motivation into the struggle and search for that glimpse of Order and Efficiency. He worked his most, just to get even the tiniest taste of that dream he had never come true. And the German Unity Day was the perfect opportunity to acquire this distant ambition he had worked for all his life at last. Even if he today is the breadwinner of the European Union with lots of Euromonies, he is simply not just satisfied with that newly acquired Order: he will work his most to maintain it in its peak efficiency no matter what. Anything, just to escape his past.
But to look at Germanyball as nothing but a "Sauerkraut" in a perpetual depression tortured by such a traumatic past is a huge misconception. If the phrase "Work hard, play hard" could be personified into a countryball, it may very well be Germany. Yes, the numerous Germanyballs were adopted by Kingdom of Prussiaball, but one of those adopted Germanyballs was, of course Bavariaball. You know, the Beer Capital of the World. Bavariaball seems to be the opposite of what everything Kingdom of Prussiaball was: Not Blood and Iron for a few von somethings, but Beer and Polka for Everybody! Yet the opposites complement each other and formed the German personality as he is today. Bavariaball taught Germanyball that having difficulties in their chaotic life is no reason to commit suicide through work, but that one should, while living in hardship, still find meaning in life and embrace it (hence Germany as the centre of the branch of philosophy known as Existentialism). Germanyball may have been hardened by his experience, yes, but he still possessed feelings, even the ability to feel pleasure and happiness. And the way he enjoyed life after work would astonish and even surprise other countryballs. To celebrate German Unity Day, October 3rd, when the tyranny of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain finally ended once and for all,the moment when Germanyball got that Unity, Justice and Freedom he always sought in all his difficult life, he revived the Bavarian tradition of Oktoberfest, a city-wide party that lasts for almost an entire month. Germanyball, after a hard day's work, is also a hard BDSM fan (often with Austriaball or recently Brazilball) and only the weird Hentai of close friend Japanball could rival the level of obscenity that Germanic porn was notorious for. Yes, Butts Germans love work. But they also think that worthwhile work must have worthwhile rewards, and the moment they achieved the very dream that they have always worked all their life, deserves an equivalent return. To have the ratio of reward per effort be as close to 100% as possible: that is Efficiency.
To conclude, Germanyball is not a robotic Sauerkraut, but in fact, a human, as far as the personality of countryballs could be described as human. He has strengths yet he also has flaws. His "humanity" and experience in the past continued to define his own personality. Also a pacifist today, renouncing war and now happily married to his former rival Franceball, but when need be and never at his own volition, he, never having lost his Teutonic mettle, can be a powerful opponent. Brazilball learned this the hard way.
Also to add on, Germany can into Videogames. He has headquarters from Nintendo and plays lots of PlayStation. Probably because of his close bond with Germany during a tough time. Let uns rather not speak darüber...
Freunde (Friends)

Nowadays, her anime contains countless references to Deutschland, and she herself ist like the Asian version of mir: Rich self-disciplined wörkaholics with superior engineering, but she drinks nicht lots of Bier und makes extreme bondage porn called Hentai.

Constituent states
Germanyball comprises sixteen federal states which are collectively referred to as Bundesländer. Each state has its own state constitution and is largely autonomous in regard to its internal organisation. Two of the states are city- states consisting of just one city: Berlinball and Hamburgball. The state of Bremen consists of two cities that are separated from each other by the state of Lower Saxonyball Bremenball and Bremerhavenball. Because of the differences in size and population the subdivisions of the states vary. For regional administrative purposes five states, namely Baden-Württembergball, Bavariaball, Hesseball, North Rhine-Westphaliaball and Saxonyball, consist of a total of 22 Government Districts (Regierungsbezirke). As of 2013 Germany is divided into 402 districts (Kreise) at a municipal level; these consist of 295 rural districts and 107 urban districts.

How It Works
The Physiotoolkit devices work by applying pressure to both muscle/connective tissue and more specifically to your spinal joints in the case of the extender and mobiliser.
This pressure in turn pushes into the tight muscle tissue (trigger point) causing the blood vessels to dilate thereby sending more blood to the area.
This increased blood flow helps the tight muscle tissue to relax and therefore decrease your pain.
The extender and mobiliser can both be used on your spinal joints, the pressure imparted by the devices helps stetch out the tight restricted joints in the same manner that your physio would by directly pushing on the joints.
The pressure applied to your muscles and joints can be directly modified by adjusting your weight either on/off the device.
The research has proven that this mobilisation will help remove or reduce tension, thereby minimizing discomfort, stress and pain.
Restoration of your spinal mobility, often results in a reduction in a patient's muscle spasm and allows restoration of the body's natural energy flow.
It may also correct spinal alignment and give relief from musculoskeletal tension and/or pain.
Improved spinal mobility is also thought to have a positive physiological effect on the nervous system and provide pain relief via this means.

Another new direction for Bond
The Bond folks have plucked another indie darling to helm their blockbuster franchise as they announced that Cary Joji Fukunaga has agreed to direct the 25th film in the series. This all comes after Danny Boyle left because his vision for the movie was drastically different from the producer's. Now the movie can get back underway, with shooting starting in March of 2019 and a release date of February 2020.
That release date goes to show how much they want to get this out the door. It's a pretty quick turn around, which doesn't put them too far away from the original 2019 release date, but does remove Bond from the blockbuster season. The franchise usually anchors either summer or holidays, and February is more of a traditional dumping month for second-tier films. Then again, Black Panther.
As for Fukunaga as a director, it will be interesting to see how he can handle the jump to major film. His Beasts of No Nations and work on True Detective was extremely well received and Netflix's Maniac looks great too, but as we've seen time and again indy directors can get overwhelmed when handed the reigns of a big budget movie. Sometimes it works, like with Sam Mendes' two Bond films, but sometimes it doesn't... like really doesn't. I still wish they'd been able to land Denis Villenueve, but he was too busy directing Dune.
'Bond 25' Gets Cary Joji Fukunaga As New Director For 007 Daniel Craig [Deadline]

I am sick with frustration, or maybe grief and fury. Whatever, it is eating at my essence cell by cell
Here is some of what is slowly killing me in no particular order.
1. Being told I was weak, stupid or mentally ill for I never stop the violence from johns and profiteers going on and on and on. Why did I not fight back – they would have. Why didn't I just walk out – they would have.
2. Being told it was not sexual torture. How can it have been, when I was there willingly. I must just have a sick imagination to framed an equal exchange as torture.
3. Being made to speak in the language of rape and domestic violence, when it feels alien from my experiences. I speak in the language of human rights, of torture, of multiple abuse, the language of the enslaved.
4. Being told I was a sex worker – when it never sex and never work, but slavery.
5. Being told not to be too graphic – but hearing graphic descriptions of rapes of non-prostituted women and girls, seeing and hearing graphic torturing of animals – but please don't say anything to frighten the horses about the hell of indoors prostitution.
6. Hearing for so many years – if it was so bad, how comes you are alive – not a suicide statistic or another murdered whore.
7. Knowing that most deaths of prostituted women and girls are not reported or even noticed – for it can't be news, if it such a common event.
8. Knowing it was true what johns and profiteers said to me over and over and over. They could murder me at any time – for no-one gives a shit about yet another dead whore.
9. Being asked questions about sexual performance – when I know nothing but how to blank out pain, how to fake pleasure, how to obey the porn rules – how to stay alive when death is so welcoming.
10. Being that I must hate all men – when I just hate the men who make the choice to buy and sell women and girls for sexual wants. When I only hate men who make the choice to be violence to women and girls, and the choice to invent a class of prostituted women and girls to make sub-humans.
11. Being told I should understand and feel sorry for johns. Why should the tortured ever be made to understand their torturer. Why do I have to understand mass rape.
12. I say johns choose to torture, choose to rape, choose to place terror in each and every whore they meet – and others say what about the nice ones, it can't have been all bad.
13. Then I say the nice ones were the worse – for it was mental torture. In their "niceness", it appears to be chatting, to be less sexual violence – but always I was fucked, I was still just holes to be plugged, hands to make them feel like a king. If they were so bloody nice, why were they buying a prostitute and being part of a structure that was destroying women and girls world-wide.
14. Being told that what happened to me must have been illegal, like that has any relevance. Legal or illegal, prostitution is always an open market for sadistic sex, for internal and external trafficking, for under-aged girls, for any racist hate, for access to producing cheap sadistic porn, for exploiting any and everything that makes women and girls vulnerable – all that matters is that is profitable.
15. To make that profit, prostitution must always be easily accessible to as many johns as possible. So prostitution is never truly underground, it just hidden from non-johns and those outside the sex trade. In other words, those who make a conscious decision to ignore all the violence and degradation of prostitution – so they can paint it as fun and empowering part of the leisure culture.
16. So, I told it does not matter that images of prostitution infiltrates all media and leisure activities. That TV is full of murdered whores, or happy hookers or whores who has wisdom beyond Einstein. That films have tarts with hearts of gold, whores saved by Richard Gere, and more murdered whores. That male novels have so much rite of passage of white young men getting their virginity taken by some kindly whore. That male painting have the whore as threat or some great fuck. That ads have "normal" women dressed like whores to sell any and everything – buy our goods, and all women will be your porn-toy.
17. And I am told to get over it – just images, just fiction, no harm meant. When all those ads, paintings, novels, films, and TV programmes are more salt inside my trauma.
18. I am told off if I tell sick jokes about prostitution – when every time I laugh at the pain and horror that is inside of me, I am getting my power and essence back. I believe to laugh at hell, is to say you no longer afraid. Laughter is life.
19. I hear debates and pleas that prostitution would ok, if only it was made feminist. It can never be feminist to have a class of women and girls who only role is to brought and sold as fuck-objects. Don't care if the managers are women, whether it is an independent co-op, whether the johns may be women – it still about power and control over the prostituted class. It still will be sex against the will of the prostituted – for it still comes down to profit. It cannot be made feminist.
20. I hear and I am told that women managers must be kinder and more understanding. Dream on, all managers in prostitution just care about profit and having an endless supply of "girls" to be fuck-goods for their "clients". Women and male managers use and use up the prostituted in the same way – only outsiders choose to believe females must be kind.
21. I listen to debates about the evils of capitalism – and always the sex trade is let off the hook. Place inside the nice words of empowerment, free choice and liberating – all the greed, the wastage of millions of women and girls, the sexual torturing and the hate is hidden. The sex trade is capitalism at it's most savage and uncaring – but so often men on the Left say it just fun and no-one would in unless they want to.
22. I say men from the Left, men from the Right, religious men, atheist men, male student, businessmen, unemployed men, men of all cultures – lets say, most men everywhere don't see any harm or problem with prostitution – why would they, it for their advantage to have easy access to a porn-toy wherever and whenever they want.
23. I open my mouth to speak some of the violence that those men put into me, put into women I loved, women who me told their truths, women who cannot speak now for their voices were stolen by death or too much mental pain – and it dismissed as just individual stories. That our truths cannot be proven, that we are too mentally damaged to be believed. Even as our voices are clear and stick to same truths over and over – we are silenced.
24. Always having our lives explain by academics, put into statistics to fit preconceived opinions, having documentaries made to frame us as convenient victims or empowered – all "facts" round prostitution are framed with as few words from exited women as possible. When our words could lead and teach a greater understanding male violence, how some men really hate females and how they lie to the non-prostituted about that. But we are ignored and dismissed as damaged goods.
25. To end, my endless frustration – there is the classic, there no point in wanting abolition, for prostitution is inevitable. Fuck that, so racism is ok then, so murder just coz you want to is ok then, so we mustn't struggle to end poverty, war will always be with us. Prostitution is never acceptable – unless you don't care about sexual torturing, don't give a damn about mass rapes, that women and girls are nothing but holes to fucked until wore out. If you can justify prostitution – you are more than likely ignoring the extreme violation of human rights that is the bedrock of all prostitution.

NFL Playoff Picture: Jets, Texans could get more help
(AP) -- As if the New York Jets and Houston Texans didn't get enough help in their chase for a playoff berth, they might get even more on Sunday from opponents who already own division titles.
The Jets needed five things to happen last weekend and they all did. Most significant, of course, was their victory over Indianapolis. Or, perhaps more accurately, over the Colts' second-string when coach Jim Caldwell removed Peyton Manning and most of the starters in the third quarter of a five-point game.
Now, the Jets host the Bengals in the football finale for Giants Stadium, a place that has not been all that kind to a franchise whose only Super Bowl appearance came in 1969. The Jets are 102-104-1 as a home team in the Meadowlands since moving there in 1984.
But, lo and behold, Cincinnati has very little to play for Sunday night, and its regulars might be on the sideline for much of the action, too. The Bengals could move up to the third seed in the AFC with a win if the Patriots lose to the Texans, but is that enough incentive to keep Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson and Leon Hall on the field all game? A 16-0 season wasn't enough for the Colts to stick with their stars on Sunday.
"Wow, I didn't even consider that," said wide receiver Brad Smith, whose 106-yard kickoff return at Indy was the longest play in Jets history. "That's an interesting dynamic, and I guess we, as professionals, have to go out there and do our jobs no matter who's out there."
Added linebacker Bart Scott: "They might not want to show their hand, but we have no choice. We're not in. We have to show everything we've got to try to get a victory and play next week, or it doesn't matter."
The Patriots are a prime candidate to rest people, too, which obviously would be of great benefit to the Texans. New England is the AFC's third overall seed and will be playing in a wild-card game regardless of what it does at Houston.
So might Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Co. have something in common with Manning, Reggie Wayne and the guys? Like sitting out a large portion of a do-or-don't game for the opposition?
"That would surprise me," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "I think the team I saw (in a rout of Jacksonville on Sunday) is getting ready to make a big run. They're a great football team and I don't see them coming in here any different."
Of course, the Texans aren't in control the way the Jets are, and also need losses by two of the following three: New York, Baltimore (at Oakland), or Denver (at home against Kansas City).
If this is confusing, consider that the Broncos have 10 permutations by which they can get in, not all of them predicated on them winning.
Also still alive in the AFC are defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and Miami. Indianapolis and San Diego own the first-round byes.
With all that tumult in the AFC, the NFC is like a calm lake. In are division champs New Orleans, Minnesota and Arizona. The winner of Sunday's Philadelphia at Dallas game takes the NFC East; the loser gets a wild card. Green Bay owns the other wild card.
Perhaps the biggest oddity of all is this: four potential rematches from Week 17 in the wild-card round. The Jets and Bengals, Patriots and Texans, Packers and Cardinals, and Eagles and Cowboys all could meet again on the first weekend of the playoffs.
Kubiak doesn't want to think that far ahead.
"We're trying to stay focused right here. We hope we have that problem," he said. "We hope Sunday night that we're having to scramble and get going in another direction..."
Colts face great debate over pulling starters
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Colts coach Jim Caldwell believes he made the right call Sunday, even if everyone from NFL purists to Indianapolis fans disagree.
When the Colts pulled their starters in the third quarter against the New York Jets, they essentially pulled the plug on the possibility of a perfect season.
Since then, Indy radio shows have been flooded with callers and faxes from angry fans. Some said they wanted refunds. Others suggested the Colts didn't lose to the Jets, they forfeited. Analysts contend the Colts threw away a shot at history.
But Caldwell insists he did the right thing by protecting Peyton Manning and his teammates from the risk of injury, and players continue to support the decision.
undecided on Mangini
BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- New Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren has not decided if coach Eric Mangini will be back next season.
Holmgren, who signed a five-year contract to try and fix the Browns, said he will wait until he arrives in Cleveland next week before making any changes. Holmgren plans to meet with Mangini after the Browns (4-11) complete their season. He said it would not be fair to discuss Mangini's status with one game left.
The 61-year-old Holmgren said he will evaluate the entirety of Mangini's first season in Cleveland, and won't decide based solely on the team's current three-game winning streak.
Holmgren did not reveal his intentions to reconfigure Cleveland's front-office, but the former Green Bay and Seattle coach said he plans to hire a general manager.

Cricket is making waves across Central Ohio, as a number of expats from the Indian subcontinent continue the favorite sport of their home countries.
Cricket is making waves across Central Ohio, as a number of expats from the Indian subcontinent continue the favorite sport of their home countries.
About 10 local teams play a full season through the United Cricket Club, and many of them hope you'll consider trying out this gentleman's game with roots dating to 16th-century England.
"We are just cricket crazy," said Bharat Jataprolu, team captain of the Columbus Cricket Club, which plays home games at Emerald Fields in Dublin. "It's like religion back home. People just love it."
The sport is somewhat similar to baseball: A batter attempts to hit balls and score runs, while a thrower, known as a bowler, tries to dismiss him by knocking down a set of wooden stakes known as a wicket.
"Most of our guys have played all their lives," club president Brijesh Mishra said. "One of the big challenges is trying to take this sport to people who haven't played all their lives."
Mishra's club, the Googly Cricket Club and several others welcome new members eager to learn. Local games are played in Dublin, on West Campus and at several other locations. Teams usually have at least one practice a week, with in-town and away games on weekends.
There's no reason not to pick up a stick and protect a wicket.
Sports Talk
Bowler: The player who throws the ball
Wicket: A set of three short stakes (stumps) topped with wooden blocks (bails). Games are played with two sets of wickets, one at each end of the pitch.
Pitch: A harder playing surface in the center of the field where hitting and bowling occur. It's roughly 22 yards long and four yards wide.
Over: A set of six good pitches. Most games in Columbus are played with "limited overs," usually 20, meaning each side gets 160 pitches to score runs.
Innings: One side's batting performance. It's the equivalent of three outs in baseball.
Getting the game
1. The game's played between two teams of 11 on an elliptical field between 100 and 160 yards across. On offense, a batter lines up in front of each wicket. On defense, the bowler stands near the pitch, while his team spreads through the field.
2. The bowler throws to one batter with an overhand motion. The batter attempts to hit the ball into play or defend his wicket.
3. Runs are scored in three ways. The bowler throws a bad ball. The batsman hits the ball, and both men switch sides. The batter hits the ball out of the field on a fly (six runs) or on a bounce (four runs).
4. On the other hand, a batter gets out in three ways. A bowler knocks over a wicket on a throw. A fielder catches a fly ball. A fielder knocks down a wicket as the batsmen try to switch sides.
5. A batter doesn't have to run on contact. He can stay at the wicket for as long as he wants without getting out. However, after one over (six good balls), a new bowler must throw.
6. The innings is finished when a certain number of overs have been thrown or all 10 batters on a side are out. The teams switch sides and repeat.

The numbers game continues as we jump into the teens.
With all due respect to Brice Taylor — USC's very first football All-American — this is a three-man battle among high-profile skill-position stars.
(Taylor, fascinatingly, was a 5-foot-9, 185-pound guard. Which basically makes him me. Except that he was born without a left hand and was a member of a world-record-setting mile relay team.)
So here are USC's sweetest No. 16s. Check 'em out, then cast your vote!
Quickie credentials: All-American in 1951, when he led USC in rushing (841 yards) and total offense (1,144). USC's leading scorer in 1950 and '51. Led the Trojans in interceptions (3) in 1950. Finished his three-year career with 877 rushing yards, 9 touchdowns, 64 PATs and 2 passing TDs.
QB PAUL McDONALD (above right)
Quickie credentials: All-American in 1979. Starting QB for the 1978 national-championship team. Ranks 10th in USC history in pass completions and 13th in total offense. Finished his three-plus-year career with 4,138 passing yards, a .597 completion percentage and a 37-13 TD-INT ratio.
Quickie credentials: All-American and Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1988, when he passed for 2,812 yards and 18 touchdowns and rushed for 5 TDs for a 10-2 team. Ranks third in USC history in total offense and fourth in pass completions. Finished his four-year career with 8,225 passing yards, 54 TD passes and 12 rushing TDs.
More notable numbers:

Well its the last day of the month and the world economy standing in the mid of year 2012. Lets try to pull the events by connecting the dots and see where the world is :
1) After months weeks years of posturing and denial Spain and Cyprus formally requested aid from Europe bailout funds. More so they have officially confessed to their insolvency and the insolvency of their banking system.
Spain 10 year bond yield breached the worst level and it touched the 7% in return many od the Spain bank ratings got junk by Moodys
2) Over in the US, the city of Stockton, California filed for bankruptcy this week… the largest so far, but certainly a mere drop in the proverbial bucket.
3) JP Morgan, considered to be among the few 'good' banks remaining in the US, conceded that the $2 billion loss they announced several weeks ago might actually be more like $9 billion.
4) The Federal Reserve reported yesterday that foreigners are reducing their holdings of US Treasuries.
5) Countries from Ukraine to Kazakhstan to Turkey announced that they have purchased gold in recent months to bolster their growing reserves.
6) Chile has joined a growing list of countries that has agreed to bypass the US dollar and settle all of its trade with China in renminbi.
7) China has further announced plans to create a special zone in Shenzhen, one of its wealthiest cities, to allow full exchange and convertibility of the renminbi.
8) World banking regulators from the Bank of International Settlements to the FDIC are proposing that gold bullion be treated as a risk-free cash equivalent by commercial banks.
So… what we can see from this week's events is:
– European governments are insolvent
– European banks are insolvent
– US governments are heading in that direction
– Even the best US banks are not as strong as believed
– Foreigners are abandoning the US dollar and seeking alternatives
– Gold is money
Just by observing casually we can connect the events as the economies are so much integrated now. The overall structure is crumbling now .
Need of an hour rational thinking and cautious steps with good faith towards saving the economies.

Heather Kitterman, PMHNP
Nationally Board Certified Family Psychiatric - Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
My practice is based on a comprehensive patient-centered philosophy of developing a partnership with clients and their families (when appropriate), and ensuring that my clients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care. I believe that each person is unique, and has their own physical, medical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, social, and environmental factors that influence who they are. Therefore, I will do my very best to ensure that these factors are acknowledged when we work together.
I have been in the health care field since 2007, as a registered nurse, board certified adult nurse practitioner, and as a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in the state of Oregon. I have earned my post-masters certificate as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner from Oregon Health and Science University, and my Master's in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Stony Brook University in New York, where I majored in psychology. Prior to working in the mental health field, I was an internal medicine provider. This experience has led me to value the importance of teamwork among the different health care providers who serve you, as this teamwork helps to ensure that you are receiving safe, high-quality care.
I provide psychiatric assessments, medication management, and limited therapy to individuals ages 18-60. I have received training in Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have experience working with individuals experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.
While I value and respect the role of medication therapy as a treatment intervention, I believe that medications alone play a limited role with regards to helping individuals achieve their treatment goals. Therefore, I will encourage the use of psychotherapy, community support, and lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, quality sleep, relaxation, laughter) to help you meet your needs and goals.

So here's my tribute to Tarla Dalalji with a recreation of her dish. I am obsessed with Chhole and it was only naturally I collected all her Channa dishes in one place. Though we decided last week, it was only this morning that I finally was able to make something. This Khatte Chane is sounded such a delicious treat, so I had to do it. I saved up a small portion of boiled channa since this weekend, when this was to have been cooked. Finally I had to do with just a small portion, no doubt will be making it again.
Khatte Chane | Spicy curried Chickpea
Preparation Time: 5
Cooking Time: 10
Soaking time : Overnight
Ingredients Needed:
Kabuli chana (white chick peas) – 1 cup
Tamarind pulp or tamarind (imli) water – 1 tsp
Onions – 1 small
Tomatoes, sliced – 1/2
Green chillies, chopped – 2
Ginger, grated – 1/"
Chole masala – 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil – 2 tsp
Spice powders :
Chilli powder
Roasted cumin powder -1/2
Roasted Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder a pinch
How to make the Khatter Chane
Wash chana dal and soak it overnight. Pressure cook the channa till done. Drain and store if not using right away. Else keep it aside.
Heat a pan with 2 tsp oil, jeera, coriander powder, chana masala, red chilli powder, salt and fry for 1-2 minutes.
Add the ginger and green chillies and continue frying.
Once this is done, add tamarind juice in the pan and mix them well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, add chana dal to the mixture.
Cook for 5-6 minutes.
Garnish with onion, tomato slices, and fresh coriander.
Khatte Chane is served with kulchas,bread, or bhaturas. However I served with corn rice. Will surely be making this again with Kulchas.
Having boiled frozen channa is always such a boon. Just before using, bring to room temperature and cook.

Happy Wednesday everyone,
On today's episode of my chaotic life, I've been dealing with family issues. Nothing too big and nothing that can't be ignored. LOL I'm really great at ignoring stuff and praying it goes away. Problem is I can't do that when I've been preaching and practicing self care and healing. I don't want to keep running away from the things that bother me and not expecting them to bubble back up to the surface. I want to talk to trained professional on how to best handle the bs.
I've been calling around trying to find a good therapist and all it made me realize is… I need to go back to church.
I was told finding a therapist is like dating. It will take time until you find the right one for you. And that is so REAL!
When it comes to a therapist I want:
- chemistry – I want someone who will understand what I am going through or at least get it.
- I prefer a black woman.
- Someone who works around my work schedule.
- Someone who works in the Bay Area.
- And someone who takes my insurance!!
I really don't think that is asking for TOO much. But trying to find a therapist with all of these qualities has been close to impossible. I've even considered compromising some of my wants. Still no luck.
What is the use of having medical insurance if therapists insist on saying "I don't take insurance"… I work 40 hours a week especially for medical insurance. ARGH!!!
I don't know who can afford therapy for $150 an hour but I sure in the hell can't. I just have some things I need to get off my chest preferably to a licensed professional. No I do not want to try online therapists or text therapists I really would love to get to know and talk to someone face to face. Although I am a millennial and I understand we do EVERYTHING online, I still value intimate conversation. I like hearing someone's voice and being able to have verbal and non verbal communication in a person.
I'm working on balance and transition. I would love to learn more about positive coping. Diversity and inviting change in all aspects of life. I want to learn how to not let things bother me so easily. I want to speak with trained professionals who can break down certain principles to me. Being the first to do alot of things in my family is hard when there's no one can understand where I'm coming from. I'm juggling alot and sometimes I just need an unbiased educated opinion. Being in a creative career often mean taking alot of risks… well I would love to have someone to talk to about the chaos that comes with those risks. Friends and family can't always relate. I know I have an amazing support system but honestly I don't want or need everyone's opinion on what and how I should do things, especially if they have never experienced it themselves.
No one is going to be able to relate to us completely. No one has walked the exact same path as me, I know. But I do plan to find a good therapist to share some of these burdens with.
I've spoke with a therapist before as a child and later as a teenager. Adjusting has always been tough for me to get used to. I've been through alot of life changes, sometimes abrupt or traumatic changes. I'm pretty sure it's time I go talk to someone again. It has been over 10 years.
When I spoke with therapists in the past, I had the luxury of being on my parents medical insurance *rolls eyes*. Now that I am an "adult" I have to figure this part out.
My mom told me to ask my job if they offer EAP or MHN which are both therapy insurance. So that's the next step in this process. I am determined to get this figured out and I will keep you all updated on my progress.
This week's post was a little late because I am still getting settled into my new job so please be patient with me. Writing blog posts every week and keeping up with my new work load is becoming a bit of a challenge. But I am proud to announce that I am now on the company's website!!
I also helped set up my first company event, an APW x Crate & Barrel Wedding Registry Party!
So far everything at work has been so amazingg! I am learning so much and working on so many new and exciting projects! We are preparing for our Women's Summer Camp next month! My first time camping and it's a work event! #lit
My interest in therapy does not mean my life is horrible. It doesn't mean I am suffering. Let's kill the stigma that therapy is a bad thing. I'm not experiencing incredibly bad trauma or crazy life events, I just want to talk to a professional about life. Just how we get regular physical check-ups and routine dentist appointments, we should be doing the same with our mental health.
For anyone also looking for therapists here's the site I've been browsing: therapyforblackgirls.com/
I hope we all find what we need. In the mean time I'm going to make an effort to go back to church on Sunday's, it's cheaper.
Thanks for reading guys & we'll talk more next week!

"The feel good movie of the century, I was laughing in hysterics with my friend Keigan Tarling watching this in VIP IMAX at Queensgate Harlow. Would recommend!" – Sam Redwood, Spotted In Harlow.

St Petersburg Condos for Sale
St Petersburg Condos for Sale
High rise Condos for sale in St Petersburg FL
The St. Petersburg Condo market is a market in and of its own and we have you covered. The first large scale condo project in St. Petersburg was Bayfront Towers built in 1975. Between then and the late 90s Bayfront Towers for the most part stood alone as the predominant condo feature in the city. However in the late 90s as the tech boom was in full swing the real estate landscape in St. Petersburg quickly began to change. With the introduction of The Cloisters at 288 Beach Drive in 1999 and The Florencia at 100 Beach Drive in 2000 the transformation of Beach Drive into the real estate mecca it is today really began. The completion of The Cloister Tower and The Florencia Tower accelerated the growth of Beach Drive between Central Av and 5th Av N and helped foster it into the burgeoning retail, restaurant, entertainment, park, and condo Bayfront District we have all grown to know and love.
As the real estate boom of the mid 2000s swung into full force the real transition of St. Petersburg from a little known retirement city to an artsy, fun, and enjoyable destination city took its current form. Between 2005 and 2009 5 new and audacious luxury condo towers graced the skies of our beloved St. Petersburg. Parkshore Plaza Condos at 300 Beach Drive was completed in 2006 followed shortly by McNulty Loft Condos completed the same year. 400 Beach Drive Condos at 400 Beach Drive was completed in 2007 along with The Walter Whitney Plaza Condos at 226 5th Av N.
The crown jewel condo development of St. Petersburg as it currently stands is The Ovation at 180 Beach Drive which was completed in 2009. The Ovation's privacy, luxury, and views are unrivaled to date as far as condos are concerned and its concierge style amenities afford the residents a unique and comfortable lifestyle. The Signature Tower at 175 1st St S was the last of the New Age condos to be completed in late 2009 and is visually in many opinions the most iconic tower of St. Petersburg with its predominant stance and sail like architectural features. St. Petersburg has a plethora of condo options to choose from and within the next 3 years we will see three more iconic buildings rise. The Salvador, designed and inspired by the works or Salvador Dali, will be complete in 2017 and is located at 199 Dali Blvd. These units are selling pre construction quickly so if you would like to see one please reach out to us or check out our blog for photos and renderings! The Bliss at 176 4th Av NE will also be complete in 2017. Residences for The Bliss are also currently being sold pre construction.
Last but certainly not least ONE ST. PETERSBURG will soon grace the skies of the city. ONE ST. PETRSBURG will be the most iconic building in St. Petersburg once complete. Located at 200 Central Av ONE ST. PETERSBURG will be located in the heart of the Downtown and Beach Drive Districts. The sprawling development will feature not only high rise condos but a 170+ room hotel and conference center along with an array of Class A retail shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues on the ground level. One St. Petersburg is currently in the pre sale process and we would love to help you pick out and customize your condo.
The St. Petersburg Condo market is all it is hyped up to be. We have access to all of the aforementioned condos for sale pre construction and existing and are well versed in the rules and regulations of each building. We would love to hear from you so we can you show you why more and more people #TrustUsWithYourTransaction!

Kiev bets on war, despite promises of peace
- 8 mai 2019
- Par Matberg Kate
- Blog : Le blog de Matberg Kate
And not to mention the numerous casualties of both the military and the civilian population. This war was one of those factors that paved the way for the victory of Vladimir Zelensky. People believed that he would be able to put an end to senseless bloodshed, but suddenly something very curious happened.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Stepan Poltorak, signed a decree stating that from this month the participants in the Operation of the Joint Forces in the Donbas will receive an increased salary.
"The minimum cash security of a contract serviceman who is involved in the joint force operation will be on the frontline: 27.3 thousand hryvnia [$ 1031], in other areas of the operation - 16.8 thousand hryvnia [$ 634], the platoon commander- frontline 31.1 thousand hryvnia [$ 1186], in other areas from 20.6 thousand hryvnia [$ 785], battalion commander from 35.5 thousand hryvnia [$ 1353], on the frontline and from 25 thousand hryvnia [$ 953] in other areas "- the press service of the army announced.
Thus, according to the data of the Ministry of Defense, the salaries of servicemen were increased by an amount from $ 38 to $ 190, which is quite impressive for Ukraine.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the decision was made by the Minister of Poroshenko's cabinet, who is likely to leave his post soon. But this step looks extremely inappropriate. It would be relevant before the elections, especially given the fact that the Ukrainian army is going through hard times. Now this decision has no logical or political explanation. But there is one!
Petro Poroshenko very successfully used the conflict to justify their own political failures, and on the eve of the elections he was also implicated in a scandal about embezzlement in the defense industry complex. Only then Ukraine chose a new president who promised voters to put an end to the bloodshed. But what is Vladimir Zelensky doing now? Did he somehow comment on this step? In his eyes, and in fact in his country, budget money is being wasted, but he takes the position of tacit approval.
In his election rhetoric, he spoke a lot about peace in Ukraine, but now his behavior is far from that inherent in his promises as the elected head of state. He does not defend the interests of his voters on the most important issue for them. Stacked up to this it is rightful that doubt creeps in on the fact whether the new authorities are really ready to stop the war. Zelensky's peculiarity is that he or his advisers were smart enough to mislead Ukrainians, creating for them the desired and deceptive image of a peacemaker. And in order not to destroy it prematurely, - there are still parliamentary elections ahead - the most dubious decisions were entrusted to the
representatives of the old team. Those, in turn, can count on preferences in the future or have already received some guarantees from the new president.
In the end, it's not just that Ukraine deliberately delays inauguration and interferes with the early dissolution of parliament. Officially, Zelensky, of course, has nothing to do with it, but this time can be very productively used to make decisions which the new president will not want to dirty his hands prematurely.

Updated at 4:10 p.m. Retired U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who died over the weekend, was known for pushing boundaries, on and off the bench. As a judge in the District of Columbia's federal trial court, he famously ordered the breakup of Microsoft Corp., for antitrust violations. A year later, a federal appeals court vacated his order and removed him for public comments he made about the case. As a litigator at Washington's Jackson & Campbell for nearly 20 years before joining the bench, he had a reputation as a fierce trial lawyer who landed big wins in medical malpractice cases. "Judge Jackson's public persona was that of a larger than life figure who presided over some of the most complex and difficult cases in the court's history," U.S. District Chief Judge Royce Lamberth said in a statement today. "With his white hair and stage-quality deep voice, he was once described as being sent from central casting for the part. But to those of us who knew him well, he was a genuine and highly respected friend who day in and day out was hard working, intellectually honest and scrupulously fair in every decision he made." Jackson died of complications from cancer on June 15. He was 76.
He was the guest speaker at My law school (George Mason) Annual; Antitrust Symposium many years ago. He had just come off the Microsoft Trial and was getting much flack for it from some quarters. He opened his remarks by telling a joke:
A trial judge, an appellate judge, and a law professor go duck hunting with the object being to see who was the first to catch a duck. A flock flew over them. The law professor consulted all the learned treatises and law review articles before deciding the flock were of ducks. By then, they were gone. Another flock appeared. The appelllate judge consulted the precedents from various courts, and by the time he decided they were ducks, they had gone too. Finally, another flock flew over. The trial judge shot at them, and said 'I hope they were ducks'.

Anne Hathaway With Rashida Jones and Amy Poehler
Who Knew These Award-Winning Ladies Were Friends?
Anne Hathaway lent a bit of star support to pal Rashida Jones on Wednesday when she attended a private dinner to celebrate the actress's new jewelry collection with Dannijo in LA. Rashida's Parks and Recreation costars Amy Poehler and Aubrey Plaza also dropped by the event to check out her new baubles and mingle with Anne. Anne's party stop came just one day after she rang in her 31st birthday. She celebrated a day early on Monday with a special birthday dinner in LA with her husband, Amy Adams, and Demi Moore.
While Rashida, Amy, and Aubrey looked like they were having fun at the event, Rashida will soon be parting from the two actresses as she prepares to leave Parks and Recreation. Rashida and Rob Lowe announced their plans to depart the show earlier this year, and Rashida got emotional on Twitter while reminiscing about good times with her soon-to-be-former castmates. "My family. I will miss them too much," Rashida said while sharing an old photo of the entire cast riding in a van together.
