Crazy Video WATCH: Hurricane Harvey Rips Up Metal Roofs, Winds Almost Knock Over Steve Harrigan
Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan was barely standing when he reported from Corpus Christi, Texas last night as the city was slammed by Hurricane Harvey.
While Harrigan delivered his report, shingles and even entire metal roofs were ripped up by the hurricane winds.
"You can probably hear that crash," he said of the background noise. "That's a metal roof sort of coming down the street slowly."
The street is deserted, and traffic lights still blinking lay on the ground, Harrigan reported. At the time of Harrigan's update, Corpus Christi police were not performing rescues yet because of the high winds.
Corpus Christi is about 30 miles from Rockport, Texas, which was reportedly underwater.
"You have areas where it is unreachable," Harrigan related. "It increased its power so dramatically and so quickly."
Hurricane Harvey was downgraded from category four to category one on Saturday.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase video game?
- A time-wasting activity a kid plays all day?
- A target for people who worry about violence in our culture?
What about a growing platform where modern technology has allowed them to evolve into a narrative medium capable of communicating stories in different ways?
"For scholars and students interested in popular culture or in the nature of stories and storytelling, the traditional forms of page, stage, and screen must certainly be examined," said Dr. Kenneth Hawley, professor of English at LCU.
"However, in a day like ours, where narratives are being played out in living rooms and basements and on mobile devices and gaming systems, it may be that some of the more creative and cutting-edge work on character, plot, conflict, identity, resolution, and meaning may emerge from what some might have always considered idle amusement."
E3 and the Rise of the Video Game Industry
Earlier this month, Los Angeles hosted the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the largest video game conference in the world.
This annual convention showcases demonstrations from every major video game publisher in the world, each showing off their latest and most innovative games, hardware, and programs.
From gameplay demonstrations to trailers and reveals, E3 is the largest event in the video game industry, which has continued to grow throughout the past decade.
This year's E3 showcased gameplay of revolutionary upcoming games like Sony's "Horizon Zero Dawn" and the remastered version of Bethesda's Game-of-the-Year bestseller, "Skyrim," alongside teaser trailers of games like BioWare's highly-anticipated "Mass Effect: Andromeda."
Perhaps the most impressive announcements of the entire show, however, were those of (literally) game-changing hardware like Sony's PlayStation VR, which is at the forefront of Virtual Reality gaming, and Microsoft's Project Scorpio, the most powerful gaming console ever created.
All of this was live-streamed to an audience numbering in the millions that continues to grow. In 2015, total revenue for the industry in the U.S alone hit $23.5 billion, up almost 5 percent from the previous year.
E3 also demonstrated the video game industry contains a more diverse population than before. Nearly half of Americans (of both genders) play video games, and those numbers rise to nearly 80 percent of males between 18 and 21 and 60 percent of women in the same age group.
For Dr. Matt Byars, an LCU English department colleague of Hawley's, the most exciting part of the evolution of video games is the potential for even greater things.
"I'm excited to follow along with the evolution of gaming and technology, in general," he said. "For video gaming, the future is incredibly bright."
Views in Academia
The legitimacy of video games is also becoming a more popular topic on campuses.
The MIT Press has published several leading books on video games, including "How Games Move Us," by Katherine Isbister; "The Aesthetic of Play," by Brian Upton; and "Values at Play in Digital Games," by Mary Flanagan and Helen Nisserbaum.
Game Theory courses are now commonplace at universities across the country, and "Game Studies," the International Journal of Computer Game Research, has recently published the second issue of its 15th volume.
Hawley agrees the academic community is realizing video games are not only a pastime, but also a meaningful means for projecting ideas, worldviews, and ideologies.
"These days, for a kid to put down the controller and pick up a book is not to put away the toy and enter a story — he or she was already in the middle of one: as a character, a creator, a master, a servant, a warrior, a player, an agent within a world of actions and consequences," he said.
"The degree to which a user can enter into that space and become one of the agents within the ongoing narrative is fascinating," Hawley explained. "This is way beyond creating a Mii that looks a little bit like yourself, adding glasses and a hat, or picking a favorite color."
As a professor of English, exploring the nature of storytelling is something with which Hawley is intimately familiar. Not only does he routinely teach courses on literature, but he also facilitates classes centered around comparing literature and film. Because of that, video games are also making their way into classrooms across the nation.
Byars added, "The advantages for storytelling in video games are that the games are designed to be sort of free-form in nature, with players being able to wander the game-world and make choices along the way, and the stories have to keep pace with those choices. As such, there are often numerous storylines woven into the games, with the various lines intersecting at various points. It's not always the same story over and over, so repeat playability is something that gives video games a leg up on much fiction, comic books, etc."
Hawley agreed. "Remember the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books? Modern gaming makes such engagement possible for users young and old."
Improvement in All Areas
Stories have the power to convey ideas and messages through example, and video games have a constantly-evolving arsenal of tools to help them do so efficiently and effectively.
Modern games not only have a higher focus on graphics than early games, but utilize those graphics to enhance the storytelling experience. The original Atari limit of a 160 x 228-pixel resolution is dwarfed by today's high-definition gaming.
"The Atari games I played as a child were not very complex. Not in terms of graphics. Not in terms of storyline," said Hawley. "Pong, for example. Bink. Bink. Back and forth. Score a goal, make a point, send it from one side to the other in a contest of speed, agility, and paddle-eye coordination."
Sound design in games has made equivalent leaps in quality. Early games had no sound at all. Modern games have soundtracks sometimes equal to major motion pictures. They also cast talented voice actors and include hyper-realistic sound effects.
Byars said, "As graphics and sound have evolved, storytelling has leapt ahead and is now often the primary focus of many, if not most, games. There are still plenty of cooperative adventure games out there, but even those seem to feature a 'plot' of some kind."
These leaps in technological capabilities have enabled video games to bring cinematic moments into games that look realistic, peppering gameplay with moments of incredibly rendered narrative. Players don't have to rely on text to tell them what they hear or what they see as they make their choices and experience the results. That directly impacts the power these stories carry as vehicles for narrative.
Hawley said, "It is not just the changes in technology that have made such developments possible. Surely processing speed, memory, and storage capacity have a great deal to do with what is possible, but consider the work of writers and designers, imagining the characters and levels and worlds."
Worlds that, as in BioWare's Dragon Age franchise, can even rival those of famed authors like J.R.R. Tolkien.
((A copy of Dr. Hawley's complete commentary on the development of video games as vehicles for narrative storytelling can be found here.))

Welcome to this week's edition of "Movie News Monday!" ("MNM!")!!
What is 'MNM'all about?
In case this is your first time here, "Movie News Monday!" (MNM) is the place to visit every Monday for a quick recap of trending entertainment news! I've collected info, rumors, etc from all over just for you to keep you updated on movies being released, actors/actresses in roles, dvd releases to keep a lookout for, which movie won in the box office over the weekend, etc! Are you ready for your weekly update? Here it is!
This Just In!!…
#1- "The Weekend Winner." This past weekend, the #1 spot in the box office arena went to NONE of the 3 wide new releases. Interestingly enough, the new releases didn't even make it into the top 5 spots over the weekend. The weekend went to the action stars as The Expendables 2 and Bourne Legacy took over the top two spots respectively. Not surprising that Premium Rush didn't take the top spot, but a little surprising as to where exactly it landed. Also surprising to see the political documentary 2016 Obama's America in the Top 10. The horror flick Apparation was #12 over the weekend…beaten out by Jordin Sparks' Sparkle, but defeating Total Recall.
Here are the weekend's estimated results for Fri, Aug 24 -Sun, Aug 26:
- The Expendables 2 ~$13.5M
- Bourne Legacy ~$9.3M
- ParaNorman ~$8.5M
- The Campaign ~$7.4M
- The Dark Knight Rises ~$7.2M
- The Odd Life of Timothy Green ~$7.1M
- Premium Rush ~$6.3M (review on the way)
- 2016 Obama's America $6.2M
- Hope Springs ~$6M (review on the way)
- Hit and Run ~$4.7M (review on the way)
Congrats once again to The Expendables 2!
What did YOU watch this weekend?
#2- "Any Justice for the Justice League?" DC and Warner Bros seem to be unable to find a director for their hopeful Justice League movie. A couple of weeks ago, Ben Affleck was rumored to be receiving a copy of the script to gauge his interest on possibly helming the superhero project. Ben Affleck is denying that he is working on the project, however, according to a report and interview over at 24 Hours Vancouver:
"I'm not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that's how rumours get started."
He continued, "Justice League sounds really exciting, but it's not something I'm working on."
Of course, the site goes on to speculate that Affleck only used the present tense and did not say something along the lines of "I WILL not be working on the Justice League film." and therefore leaves it open for the possibility. hmmm…what do you think?
On the other hand, the Wachowskis are now in the spotlight as the rumored runner ups for the DC film. Their upcoming film Cloud Atlas is catching some attention, and with V for Vendetta and The Matrix trilogy already in their resume of filmography, it may be fun to see them bring the Justice League to the big screen. According to MovieHole:
"Warner Bros are apparently jazzed with Cloud Atlas, and love that it's as much a spectacle as it is a showcase for the immense ensemble involved, so it makes sense the W's are under consideration."
Well, you tell me, what are your thoughts? Who should direct The Justice League movie?
Are you even interested in such a film?
#3- "Monsters University details." Billy Crystal recently shared a little bit more insight of what to expect from the upcoming anticipated prequel to the Pixar magic that is Monsters Inc. Monsters University has been officially described by the following:
Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. "Monsters University" unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Crystal added this:
"[Mike and Sully] end up in the same fraternity where they have this scare competition like Greek Games in college," "They have to mobilize a group, sort of like Revenge of the Nerds-monsters, and get them ready to be scary."
"They're 17 and 18 years old in the script. My guy has a retainer, even."
The film is slated for a June 21, 2013 release and I can't wait.
Are you ready for more Monsters?
#4- "Rumored Return of the Rocketeer." This past week a rumor hit the web that Disney is hopeful to bring back The Rocketeer. The original 1991 film directed by Joe Johnston (who directed last year's Captain America) did not do so well in its theatrical debut. However, it looks like they may try to give The Rocketeer another chance. No word yet if Johnston would be returning, but I'm down to give the Rocketeer another flying chance!
See the report from CleverMovies here:
Would you like to see this reboot made? Again, this is currently in the RUMOR stage.
#5- "This Week's Blu-ray release." This week, look for the following films on Blu-ray to possibly add to your collection:
Battleship– "You sunk my Battleship!" Yes, the film based loosely on the classic board game finally makes its way to your local video store. Starring Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, and others, this film comes to you with not much more than meets the eye. Rent it if you must. Buy at your own discretion. Here's my far more entertaining dual REVIEW with my good friend, Paula.
Several other films also release this week. Check it out!
Also releasing: The Lucky One, Think Like a Man (REVIEW), Darling Companion, Headhunters, and The Walking Dead Season 2
Well, that's it for this round of "Movie News Monday!"
Thanks for reading! Happy Watching!

Refugee kids start school in Germany
With hundreds of refugee and migrant families arriving in Germany every day, officials are trying to help the children by enrolling them in ''welcome classes''. Nathan Frandino reports.
With the help of pieces of chalk, these refugee children are learning their colors in German. These newcomers are enrolled in so-called "welcome classes". Teacher Kai-Felix Von Maikowski says they want to start the kids early. (SOUNDBITE) (German) TEACHER, KAI-FELIX VON MAIKOWSKI, SAYING: "Our intention is to quickly transfer to regular classes those children who after a short period of time speak very good German." And so far they're making progress. (SOUNDBITE) (German) SYRIAN REFUGEE CHILD, SHAHD, SAYING: "My name is Shahd. I am 11 years old. I come from Syria." Germany is expecting more than 800,000 new refugees this year. Many come from Syria, Iraq and beyond and don't speak German. Chancellor Angela Merkel says the classes are invaluable to integrating the children. (SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMAN CHANCELLOR, ANGELA MERKEL, SAYING: "It is worth making an effort for every single child. There is so much enthusiasm among the children and so much readiness to learn and we want to give them a good future." And after getting this far from the conflict these kids left behind, a good future is exactly what many are hoping to achieve.

Already well beyond the limits of Soot Street's underground maze, the adventurers watched with some trepidation as their guide retreated back beyond the radius of their sunrod's glow, retracing his steps back to Liberty City and leaving them alone at the mouth of a natural cavern.
By their reckoning, after half-a-day's journey underground, they were somewhere below the forested hills north of the city – maybe a day or two from the southern border of the Hagmarsh.
Krush's nose wrinkled beneath his mask as he caught the faintest scent of something musty and unpleasant from somewhere up ahead. Alister took a moment to check his supplies, particularly his wineskins, while Torinn, anxious to get going, shifted his weight from one foot to the other, his heavy armour making scraping sounds on the stone floor. Oris meanwhile stood almost as still as a statue, the sunrod glowing in his hand, his pale eyes reflecting nothing of whatever he felt about the journey ahead except for his determination that the journey be made.
After another long moment, Torinn snorted his impatience and moved ahead into the gloom. Without any further hesitation, the others followed.
—- —- —- —- —- —- —- —- —- —- —- ——
After a day and a half in the tunnels, or such was their best guess given they had seen no sign of sun, moon or sky since starting their journey, there was definitely a change in the tunnels.
Up until now the caverns had been rough and sometimes difficult to navigate, but the party was now beginning to see clear signs that others had been here before. The stone walls showed clear signs of having been worked by hand, and the floors were smoother and more even than they had been in the tunnels behind them. Something unexpected lay ahead, and for this group unexpected often meant dangerous. Steeling their resolve, and checking their weapons, the adventurers moved forward toward whatever fate had in store for them up ahead…

1 MODELLING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTEGRATION PROCESSES DIRECTION IN THE BAKING INDUSTRY Tetyana Kublikova * Svetlana Stupak Abstract: The paper presents the characteristics of the economic interaction between organizations and enterprises within the system of cluster type and the direction of their investment and innovation transformation through the implementation of the integration processes in the bakery industry. Keywords: cluster; correlation and regression analysis; system model. JEL Classification: C35, C53. INTRODUCTION The modern period of Ukraine's economic development requires a transition to an innovative type of management, in which high-tech research and production systems are becoming prioritized. Close long-term cooperation of all investment and innovation processes participants with research centres and organizations of various types create favourable conditions to accelerate the introduction of science and technology, strengthen the market position of enterprises, and improve their financial and economic situation. The investment and innovation processes become an important part of the enterprises competitiveness growth, including the baking industry. Improving the performance of bakeries requires a number of priority issues: retrofitting bakeries, increasing investment in the sector, reducing costs and improving product quality. Transformation of investment and innovation processes of bakeries in the contemporary economy should be characterized by the introduction of new approaches to the development of investment sources and priorities for their use. The development of enterprises through innovation gives systemic idea of the investment and innovation process, its connection with a business, creates a more complex vision of innovative products. In an innovative development, designed to create and implement a value chain to the end user all parts take part in the investment and innovation process. This chain is represented by the flow of needs (consumers), deliveries (suppliers) and the flow of competitors operating in the market. Thus, the rate of investment and innovation processes of baking industry affects not only the * Odessa National Economic University, Ukraine; Odessa National Economic University, Ukraine. 398
2 company-producers of bakery products, asking for investment and innovation, but their customers, suppliers and competitors as well. The modern Ukrainian baking industry is characterized by a tendency towards consolidation of production and its concentration in the hands of powerful integrated structures that affect the status and trends of investment and innovation processes bakeries. Because of the structural changes that have occurred among domestic manufacturers of bread are several major forms of combination. First, an association of companies engaged in only baking bread. Second, the integration of enterprise comprising a mill centre, and finally the concentration of businesses that grow grain to their own needs. A typical trend of the modern market bakery products is to build vertically integrated holding companies that have their sown areas, grain elevators, processing plants, bakeries and even the marketing structure. Integration processes in the baking industry are characterized by clear regional concentration, due to the specifics of bakery products - a limited period of implementation and unprofitable outlets in remote areas. Leading manufacturers of regional bakery products in Ukraine cover up to 60 percent of the national market. Investigation of region-specific implementation of investment and innovation processes at the enterprises of the baking industry led to the conclusion that their activation should take place towards the integration of the main participants of the bakery products value chain at the regional level. The development of integration processes in the baking industry (Буряк, 2007) due to the possibility of formation of stable production and economic relations between enterprises within the process chain; modernization of production capacity; reduction unit costs by increasing the scale of production and improve the price competitiveness of products; accumulation of capital for investment and innovation development and the achievement of an appropriate position in the market; creation of favourable conditions for the diversification of production; development of manufacture of innovative products based on new productions. Based on the study of basic forms of investment and innovation activities of enterprises we consider it appropriate to carry out the implementation of the integration processes in the field of bakery based on the cluster approach. It should be noted that significant achievements in the study of the features of formation of cluster models of entrepreneurship have received foreign and domestic researchers Y.M. Bazhay, A.M. Poruchnyk, B.V. Zaremsky, D.G. Lukyanenko, M.P. Voynarenko, A.K. Kins, A. Dlugopolsky, S.I. Sokolenko, M. Porter, E. Dakhma, S. Rosenfeld, C. Ketels, D. Jacobs, E. Leamer, I. Tolenado, 399
3 D. Radebe, P. Samuelson, D. Soulier (Бажал, 1996; Войнаренко, 2000; Заремський, 2010; Гальчинський, et al. 2002; Портер, 2002), etc. However, as we have established, there remain a number of unresolved issues, especially with the possibilities of adapting the cluster approach to national economic conditions, characteristics of economic cooperation between the organizations, businesses and corporations, which are included in the cluster type and forming effective tools for financing investment and innovation processes of enterprises in the cluster. The aim of our research is to examine characteristics of the economic cooperation between the organizations and the entities within cluster system and the transformation of the directions of their development through the implementation of the integration processes in the baking industry. Under the cluster, we offer understand a holistic socio-economic and territorial-branch system of enterprises and organizations involved in the generation and implementation of competitive products and services within their value chain. A cluster is formed based on territorial concentration of networks of specialized suppliers, major producers and consumers, the interaction of which is related technological chain (Гальчинський, 2004). The occurrence of clusters provides for the transfer through the same chain of products with high consumer value and other advantages of the high competitiveness of enterprises to the founding of the cluster of allied enterprises. In order to investigate trends of baking industry clustering in Odessa region we offer the use of economic-mathematical modelling interactions of factors affecting the level of resulting parameters bakeries. The study of research aspects of economic and financial problems using the unit of economic and mathematical modelling studied by many scientists and economists, among them V.N. Tregubchuk, P.T. Sabluk, A.G. Yankovoy, I.V. Orlova, V.A. Polovnikov (Саблук, 2002; Трегобчук, 2005). As part of our analysis, we suggested the use of economic and statistical methods that provide the ability to build models with the analytical expression of the relationship between the main economic indicators. To assess the impact of the factors contributing to the effectiveness of bakeries and justify their further directions clustering consider it appropriate to use regression analysis (CRA). Correlation and regression analysis takes into account the internal relationship and provides a more complete measurement of the impact of each factor on the effective sign to other factors and the impact of all factors on the symptom score. As a resulting parameter of bakeries activities, suggested the use of the indicator Y - profits from sales of the enterprise. Let us examine the level of impact on the profit from the sale of the 400
4 enterprise main factor variables such as the cost of the main raw material, marketing expenses, longterm bank loans, and the cost of the active part of fixed assets. The choice of these factors in the analysis is determined by the specifics of the baking industry and the characteristics of the formation of the value chain bakery products. Here are explanations of each selected factor. The cost of the main raw material. The high degree of dependence on raw materials inevitably leads to an increase in the cost of production and a fall in profitability bakery manufacturers. The poor state of the domestic agricultural sector, which directly affects the processing enterprise, is complicated by the high cost of energy, fuel and petroleum products, the use of outdated technology equipment, lack of machine-vehicle fleet. Despite significant territorial capabilities, the Odessa region is a zone of risky agriculture; therefore, the level of bakeries basic raw materials is directly dependent upon the quality and affordability. Marketing expenses. With the continuous reduction of bread and bakery products consumption the public key challenge for manufacturers is to ensure the smooth sales. The marketing consumer market research and trends in consumer tastes, the analysis of the competitive market become important. Only under the condition developed marketing strategy and extensive distribution network it is possible to hold competitive positions in the market. Long-term bank loans. The development of businesses clustering process is directly related to the development of financial mechanisms and instruments that can provide attraction of investments for the realization of their investment and innovative projects. World practice shows that the decisive role of long-term loans, as the main mechanism for financing of investment and innovation that could significantly improve the efficiency of investment projects and rising funds for the long term. However, the practice of domestic business shows that the use of bank credit is limited considerably high degree of volatility and riskiness of credit, high interest rates. This reduces the investment opportunities of investment and innovation processes of the baking industry, leaving producers completely dependent solely on their own resources. The cost of the active part of fixed assets. The main problem of the industry is aging of technique of domestic bakeries. This greatly complicates the implementation of modern innovative technology by manufacturers and leads to an increase in production costs. The ability to bakeries to update and modernize the active part of fixed assets determines their competitiveness in the market. The dependence of the proposed resulting indicator from these factors could be traced with the following multi-functions: 401
5 Y fxxx,,...,) ( X n where X1, X2, X3,... Xn - factors affecting the formation of profits from the sale of bakery business. At the first stage of economic and mathematical modelling based on the analysis and the establishment of cause-effect relationships provide the definition of result indicators, and a multitude of factors that influence them. The study carried out based on activities of JSC "The Odessa Karavaj". According to the phasing of the regression analysis, we have carried out the construction of the matrix pair correlation coefficients for the estimation of linear and non-linear relationships. The resulting matrix makes it possible to assess the presence of linear and non-linear relationships between the resulting index and factors affecting it. The correlation coefficient determines the nature and density of relations between the parameters activities the baking enterprise. Correlation coefficient is set in the range from -1 to +1. Its positive value indicates that there is a direct connection, according to which an increase in oneindicator entails an increase in the other, the negative - the reverse, that is, increase in one variable leads to a decrease in the other. The evaluation of the correlation coefficients, was carried out using the Chedaka scale that provides qualitative assessment of the closeness of the connection parameters. According to the Chedaka scale correlation between the parameters are interpreted as follows: 0,1 r <0,3 - a weak correlation; 0,3 r <0,5 - moderate correlation; 0,5 r <0.7 - a marked correlation; 0,7 r <0,9 - strong correlation; 0,9 r <1 - a very strong correlation. The results indicate that the equation constructed multifactorial statistical reliability in general F = 0,0002 <0,05. According to the correlation matrix of both linear and non-linear relationships, we concluded that there is a strong dependence of the volume of business of all of these factors, with the exception of long-term bank loans. The density of the correlation of this indicator amounted to R = 0,173. Consequently, this factor can be excluded from the simulation process. The analysis has shown that we are considering the dependence of resulting indicator from factorial signs accurately described by a logarithmic function: (1.1) Y 2,2046 0,7289ln( X1 ) 0,3833ln( X 2 ) 0,1487 ln( X 3 ) where: X1 - the cost of the main raw material; (1.2) 402
6 X2 - marketing costs; X3 - the active part of the cost of fixed assets. According to the conducted CRA the correlation coefficient for the model (1.2) R = 0,9869 indicates the high quality of the model, 97% of the variance resultant variable, profits from the sale of JSC "The Odessa Karavaj" explained regression: Y 2,2046 0,7289ln( X1 ) 0,3833ln( X 2 ) 0,1487 ln( X 3 ) The model is statistically reliable, as the P-value F-test was , which is much less than The coefficients of the first order autocorrelation of the residuals are r (1) = (p-value = ), indicating the adequacy of the model. We have constructed a first-order AR model describes the dependence resulting indicator subsequent levels of a number of dynamics from past and has the following form: Y 1157,94 0,851003Y t 1 The above model is able to describe quite well simulated of dynamics series us, and therefore can be used as a tool for predicting the long term. (1.3) CONCLUSIONS Modelling studies of factors relationships affecting the level of profits from the sale of bakeries, indicating the high level of its relationship with factors such as the X1 - the cost of the main raw material (the highest ratio of the degree of the strength of correlation), X2 - marketing costs, X3 - the cost of the active part of fixed assets. Thus, clustering baking industry should be in the direction of establishing sustainable raw relations between the main participants of the cluster structure. Requirements to reduce the cost of production, including through the modernization and automation of production, development of an appropriate pricing and distribution policy and the cost of building an active part of fixed assets through the introduction of new equipment and innovative technologies. The benefits of cluster foundation over the typical for the baking industry vertically integrated structures include the ability to produce flexible specialization and efficient realization of synergy opportunities of its members. The proposed cluster associations should establish close cooperation between grain producers, baking, milling plants, as well as other related resources on the basis of industrial sectors (cereals, fodder, confectionery, pasta), as well as educational, scientific and research organizations, investment institutions, government and regional authorities. Clusterization of bakeries 403
7 will contribute to the development of investment and innovation processes, accelerate the implementation of research and development to production, and innovative products to the market, the growth rate of investment in the industry. In accordance with the cluster s approach transformation of investment and innovation processes of baking enterprises should be based on an integrated approach to the formation of regional clusters covering the main areas of integration of participants at the regional level. Development and the development of common positions form a cluster of baking industry specific to their operation and the prevailing regional conditions for development is the centre of attention in future research.

Natalya Dubrovina was born in Russia and immigrated to the United States in 2008. She was practicing yoga for 7 years, before she became RYT-200 and started teaching yoga. Natalya has a choreographic and athletic background, including 10 years in a ballet school and 10 years in professional sport (sport aerobic), including 5 years as an athlete and 5 years as a coach for community college team.
Natalya's main core values are excellent communication and interpersonal skills, self –motivation and self-discipline, and outstanding determination and persistence. She would like to work with different groups of people, but she would prefer to deal with that type of students who are active, competitive and like challenge. It turned out that she attracts exactly that type of clientele since they have similar personalities.
She thinks yoga could help people to maintain their active life style but at the same time provide a better physical and mental health and keep them in perfect fitness shape. In addition, practicing yoga might resolve their personal issues and inner conflicts, restore their happiness and joy, and increase their spirituality. Finally, with help of different yoga techniques and styles of yoga, regular practice would help them to find a balance between the super active life they live and the deep relaxation they really need

forces will join to oppose us, and the former Rogues are in an excellent position to make the most of that opposition."
Isard stared at him for a moment or two more, then abruptly broke her stare off. "Your caution is noted."
"I will also point out that we still have the Ashern to deal with here. They may be a minority among the Vratix, but they have struck in the past at key production facilities. Their strikes over the past year or so have become more precise and effective. I think they will become even more so because of the rumors that some Zaltin personnel have joined them."
"Yes, the Black-claw Rebels are a bother, but that's why I have deployed stormtroopers to defend our facilities."
Vorru smiled. "That was a good move, as was restricting them to play a defensive role. Establishing a Thyferran Home Defense Corps that will allow Xucphra volunteers to fight the Ashern themselves was also brilliant."
"Thank you. Xucphra's people will come to see themselves in an alliance with my stormtroopers in no time. Once a THDC force gets in over its head and my people rescue them, the humans here will see my stormtroopers as the stalwart white line that separates them from death. Those who are dubious about us will be won over." Isard spread her hands apart. "Erisi Dlarit is heading up the fighter wing I have given to the THDC. She is a hero among her people, and having her so elevated proves to the Thyferrans that I understand how superior they are."
Vorru nodded slowly. There is no denying it, she is excellent at analyzing and utilizing the psychology of a subject people against themselves. Still, when there is someone she can't break down, like Horn or Antilles, she has no way to defend against what they might do. He looked up at her. "And what are your thoughts

Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz is urging an override of Gov. M. Jodi Rell's veto of an energy bill, arguing the legislation will cut costs.
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz is urging an override of Gov. M. Jodi Rell's veto of an energy bill, arguing the legislation will cut costs.
"It is abundantly clear to any business owner or residential customer that Connecticut has the highest utility costs in the country," Bysiewicz said in a press release Wednesday. "I call on the General Assembly to override this ill-conceived veto as soon as possible so we can make Connecticut's economy more competitive by reducing energy costs and stimulate the development of renewable, non-polluting fuels."
Business groups, including the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut and the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, opposed the bill, saying it would raise costs by as much as $200 million a year.
Support for veto
Paul G. Afonso, executive director of the New England Energy Alliance, added his voice to those praising Rell for her Tuesday veto.
"The bill would have dampened competition in Connecticut's electricity industry which is out of step with the preferences of most Connecticut consumers," Afonso said in a press release. "The bill would have also diminished progress now being realized from competitive market reforms initiated a decade ago."
Bysiewicz, a Democrat, criticized Rell , a Republican, for showing "no leadership on the critical issue of energy" and offering "no alternatives to the framework proposed." The bill would have helped create thousands of new green jobs, she said.
The governor stands by her decision, spokesman Rich Harris said Wednesday.
"Her veto message speaks for itself," he said.
Municipal-owned utilities would not have been greatly impacted by the legislation, said John Bilda, general manager of Norwich Public Utilities.

A little about me and my approach to Wedding Photography
That's me - Vince, the guy with the silly beard. Perhaps that gives you a clue how the name Yeti Photography came about - well, that and the size 13 feet!
The aim of this page is to give you a little more info about me, and the way I approach wedding photography. If by the end of it you have any questions please just ask... despite the 6ft4 size, I'm honestly super friendly and approachable :)
I am very lucky to live in the 'English Riviera' in Devon, with my wife, two boys and Stan the Springer Spaniel (<— nutcase)
I have been a full time professional wedding photographer for just over 7 years, I have shot over 300 weddings in that time and am very proud to be nominated as a finalist in the 2016, 2017 & 2018 South West Wedding Awards and went on to win the title of The Best Reportage Wedding Photographer in the South West in 2017 & 2018.
I'm unobtrusive, even a yeti has a stealth mode.....
My aim is to capture the little moments that made your wedding day what it was.
I want your photos to be packed with little surprises of things you may have missed, whether it's your mum doing the Macarena, your dad having a thoughtful whisky out the back, or your uncle on the lawn half naked for reasons no one can fully explain.
I try to approach every wedding A little uniquely
This isn't a byword for ridiculously, hipster-y, or impractically. I just like to get creative when the time is right, to give you some shots that really stand out!
To put your mind at ease, my FIRST priority is to get those shots you really care about – the ones that you would expect from a wedding photography album. Think ceremony shots, the dress, the party (I love the party bit!) and those group shots with your cousins from Australia you never really see – those kinds of things.
I Recognise that (sadly) your Wedding day is Unrepeatable
You need a photographer who is reliable and is prepared for the unexpected. That's why I am always on time. In fact, I'm usually unnecessarily early, wandering around the venue scoping shots out. With me, I carry a whole load of back up gear so I can switch anything out quickly in the (very unlikely) event of tech problem.
'Sorry, who is that guy with the camera?'
I guess that would be me! And hopefully the above is a question you never get asked at your wedding because I really do make a point of meeting all of your guests and having a bit of a natter and a giggle.
For me it's not just important, its essential that you and your guests feel relaxed when the cameras out so they don't revert to awkward smiles ...or worse, a duckface.
P.A.R.T.wHY........because you gotta!
I certainly won't be leaving when your first dance is finished, that's when traditionally you invite your friends and family to party, and I absolutely love party time! It's one of my favourite parts to capture. Inhibitions are put to one side, ties go from around necks to around foreheads and those personalties really come out!

Surving the Zombie Virus Apocalypse
You should be open about surviving the zombie apocalypse. There are so many people today who are quite very open about it because they know at some point in time it will happen. Maybe not as worst as in the movies but then it can happen. So what should you do in making sure that you are well prepared and aware of the apocalypse when such event will occur? It is really indeed important that being open minded will help you in being alive when zombies will run you over. You should always be alert on it. So here are the tips on being alive which you can surely share to others.
Prepare Yourself
What should you do first? It is important that you are open that this event can really happen. You have to make sure that you are alert and know that your plans might not work during the time when zombies will attack. You should always make sure to have other plans so that when plan A would not work then you will have plan B to use. Your first plan should be at the comfort of your home. As you all know, you have everything in your house thus when you are ready, you will have everything in place already.
Mode of Survival
Another important thing to remember about zombie virus is that it can spread rampantly, it is then necessary that you get to read about it. See and understand the news. In case it happens, you will be able to protect yourself from getting the virus itself. With regards to necessities, you have to prepare a kit that will contain all the essentials you will need. One is water. This is a basic need that you cannot live without. In case your food runs out, your water alone will help you survive for days and even weeks. You should always keep a stock of water in your own home. Next are food, clothing, and fire. These are needs that will help you and your loved ones. Keeping aside a few in case of emergency like this will surely make a difference.
No one really knows whether this will happen or not but at the end of the day you will be reminded that you actually and really do not know what are the possible things and events that can happen. It is then very important to always plan ahead of time.

X_MIPMAPPING status#
Toggles whether to use MipMapping for 3D objects.
MipMapping is a technique that uses different textures for objects that are further away. As a result images will look a lot better (no hard pixel edges) when drawing distant objects.
X_MIPMAPPING should be enabled before LOADSPRITE to generate the MipMapping levels. The X_MIPMAPPING setting will affect any object drawn after it is called.
