Ok so I may not be devastated and I may be pretty good, but to see your ex about a week after they broke up with you, walking up the hallway you are walking down, with another girl, who meets your eyes, looks away and then walks past completely ignoring you, well that shit fucking stings. A lot as it turns out. And to then be ignored again not a few hours later? Awesome, really fucking awesome. So much for being friends or thinking about it or being adult and mature and shit. Why bother stopping to talk to me the other day? Why not start as you mean to go on?
So basically a big fuck you ex mexican man! It wasn't that big, it wasn't that good, pretty sure I faked all but three times and I wasn't too ill to keep it. I hope you are forced to swallow your own balls and choke and die.

Life inside Japan's disaster shelters following the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima disaster has been revealed by the only researcher to stay alongside evacuees and survivors.
Life inside Japan's disaster shelters following the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima disaster has been revealed by the only researcher to stay alongside evacuees and survivors.
One of the important ways people tried to regain control over their lives after losing their houses was by cleaning both their own bodies and the environment.Brigitte Steger
Cambridge academic Dr Brigitte Steger's unique account of shelter life is chronicled in the just-published Japan Copes with Calamity, a collection of articles covering the rebuilding of the disaster area.
Staying in the worst-hit Tohoku region, she witnessed how the Japanese population coped in the aftermath of disaster. Her research focused on how people lived in the shelters months after the crisis, how they cooperated and when they refused to do so.
Dr Steger, an expert on Japanese society, spent almost a month in Yamada, a town where nearly 3,000 buildings were destroyed and 734 people died as the tsunami submerged the town. She stayed in the Ryushoji temple which narrowly escaped the tsunami and subsequent fires and became a shelter for 12-15 residents whose lives Dr Steger shared and recorded.
"The Japanese government response to rebuilding infrastructure has amazed the world, but the human side – how people cope with their losses and rebuild their lives – is equally remarkable," said Steger. "Where the British might say 'Keep calm and carry on', the Japanese survivors' motto was genuinely consensual: 'We're all in this together'. They tried to deal with the little tasks at hand."
Dr Steger's work involved recording the intricate patterns of daily life of the shelter inhabitants and their reactions to matters of cleanliness and hygiene, a central issue in avoiding epidemics and disease in large shelters.
She also examined gender roles, the division of labour, and the social hierarchies that emerge when a large number of people from diverse backgrounds suddenly share the same fate and are forced to share the same living spaces.
She said: "Dirty, barely useable toilets affected people's sense of stability and shame. One of the important ways people tried to regain control over their lives after losing their houses was by cleaning both their own bodies and the environment – recreating social order and stability in overcrowded shelters lacking basic facilities like clean water and toilets.
"On the other hand, in the days immediately after the tsunami, people were surprisingly tolerant of body odour and unwashed clothes. This commonality of human experience created a sense of solidarity."
One survivor, Yamamoto Tomi, 81, said: "At the beginning there were 180 people staying at the school's sports hall. There was hardly any space to walk between people and it was very dusty. Many people were coming in from outside with their shoes on (culturally abhorrent in Japan). Nobody changed into slippers; everything became very dirty. We felt very uncomfortable with this and started cleaning."
During her stays Dr Steger also visited other shelters, including the much larger shelter at Minami Elementary School, which was home to more than 100 evacuees. She recorded more than 30 in-depth interviews, each lasting between one and four hours, and held many informal conversations with people in the town as she accompanied a doctor on house calls.
"Most people suffered from a period of amnesia," she said. "Their memories of the first hours during or after the earthquake and tsunami were detailed – but they found their memories of the following days or even weeks had blurred or completely disappeared.
"They had a very unreliable sense of time and filled the gaps in their memories with stories they had heard from others or read in the newspaper. Such reactions are common in people who lived through similar trauma."
It became quickly apparent to Dr Steger that traditional gender roles were re-emphasised, even in the setting of a disaster shelter - particularly in the family-like household of the temple shelter where it was taken for granted that women had the main responsibility for cooking and cleaning. Men did the jobs that required physical strength and were often group leaders; women only taking a leading role after men started returning to their jobs.
"Gender roles in rural north-eastern Japan were much more clearly divided than in the urban areas, even before the disaster," added Dr Steger. "Yet after the tsunami, gender relations and social structures reverted to older and deeper-rooted patterns. Far more women than men lost their jobs after 3/11 and found it harder to re-enter employment. Without jobs, women were automatically expected to bear the brunt of household responsibilities, unpaid, including care of children and the elderly – as well as cooking and cleaning."
Communal living, though, did provide for some unusual techniques to combat the scourge of dirty toilets, a source of great discomfort for many living in the shelters, and a topic that came up frequently in interviews.
Shelter representative, Sato Katsumi, 61, came up with a unique strategy to solve the problem. "Nowadays we all use Western toilets at home but at the school there are no such toilets and the elderly don't have enough muscle strength to squat so the toilets were really dirty," he said. "I suggested to a former teacher who had taught sumo wrestling that we might introduce some squatting exercises. The old ladies were really into it; and with stronger thighs, they were able to use the toilets properly."
One prominent event in survivors' personal accounts was their first bath after the disaster. The Japanese are known for their love of a daily hot bath and first baths were remembered particularly clearly. It marked the transition from a state of helplessness and anxiety to familiarity; their lives beginning to return to normal.
"Re-establishing cleanliness and orderliness was a central way for evacuees to get a grip of life after the disaster," added Dr Steger. "Practices demarcating the clean, safe interior from the dirty, dangerous exterior marked the shelter as an – albeit temporary – home. By cleaning their hands, taking off shoes, cleaning the toilets and the bath, and preventing contamination of food, people established clear standards for right and wrong behaviour."
With increasing levels of cleanliness, social distinctions within the shelter became more pronounced. The sense of solidarity that marked the first phase of life in the shelter began to fade. Many evacuees felt an increasing need to have partitions and eagerly anticipated the move into temporary housing.
Dr Steger's account sits alongside other chapters by researchers who looked at topics such as the rebuilding of the fishing industry, religious and spiritual continuity as well as how locals in Fukushima struggled with the risk of nuclear contamination and the loss of jobs and communities. There are also discussions of the differences between the reporting of national and international media, the rise of various civil movements and the moral dilemma of survivors receiving aid and support.
The book Japan Copes with Calamity: Ethnographies from the tsunami and nuclear disasters of March 2011 will be launched on November 20 at the Japan Foundation office in London.

Board games go reel
Hollywood has now set its eyes on board games as source material for movies.hollywood Updated: Jul 01, 2011 01:25 IST
Hindustan Times
After being inspired by everything from books to video games to toys, it comes as no surprise that Hollywood is now toying with big screen versions of board games such as Monopoly and Battleship.
The scripting and pre-production of these movies has already begun as studios try to encash on the brand recognition of the indoor games. We bring to you some board game-based movies that are set to bring table top game boards alive on celluloid.
This is the only board game inspired movie that has a star cast in place and is currently in production. Battleship is a popular board game for two players where one has to guess the location of five ships the opponent has hidden on a grid. But the movie version of the game, which stars Rihanna (above left), Liam Neeson, Tom Arnold, Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker, has changed the original idea completely and adapted it into an alien invasion thriller. Directed by Peter Berg, filming for the $200 million production is underway in the US. It hits screens on May 18, 2012.
This movie, which will be based on Hasbro's famous Monopoly board game of owning properties, will be directed by famed filmmaker Ridley Scott. The idea for the project came about after Scott wanted to make a film on greed after completing his Alien prequel, titled Prometheus. Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner recently revealed that the Monopoly movie would be a satirical piece about the current real estate market and would deal with property ownership in the same vein as the play pattern of the game. The film is slated to release late next year or early 2013.
This movie is inspired by the Ouija board game that's been around since the late 19th century where a small group seeks questions from spirits while pushing a plastic piece around on the board to get answers. With a reported budget of around $100 million, it will be helmed by McG (left) of Terminator Salvation fame. Buzz is that the movie will be a supernatural adventure centered around a family, and will be in the same vein as The Mummy and Indiana Jones franchises. It has been scheduled to release on November 12, 2012.
Another popular game that is set to get adapted on the big screen, Risk is a war strategy board game with red and blue pieces for two to six players originally created by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse in 1957. Though the rights to make a film version of the game were purchased in 2009, it was only recently that John Hlavin was hired as a scriptwriter to turn the classic game, involving world domination, into a contemporary action thriller with elements of global warfare. No actor has been roped in yet for the project.
The Candyland movie will be based on the board game by the same name. While the racing board game is all about finding the lost king of Candyland on a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, the film version will be entirely a fantasy adventure with elements of comedy, action and emotions thrown in for good measure. The film, to be directed by Kevin Lima, has been described by its script-writers as, "Lord of the Rings, but set in a world of candy, where there are fudge monsters and people with licorice for hair." The film's release date is yet not decided.

Chitral's Fouzia Bibi among 20 lawmakers facing action for selling votes
ISLAMABAD: The name of women's reserved seat MPA from Chitral Fouzia Bibi is among 20 lawmakers who are suspected of selling their votes for millions of rupees in the recent Senate election.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, PTI Chairman Imran Khan announced that his party was taking action against 20 lawmakers for participating in horse trading.
He said the party would give the accused a chance to explain before their names are forwarded to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Mr Khan claimed that PTI, by expelling nearly "30 per cent of its leaders", was "truly protecting the sanctity of the vote" and wondered if other political parties will follow suit.
"This is not the first time lawmakers have taken part in horse trading," Khan said. "This has been happening for the past 30 or 40 years."
The PTI chief said that the accused lawmakers had received as much as Rs40 million each and added that the party will issue a show-cause notice to them.
Khan lauded other members of his party who "resisted the temptation" to take large sums of money offered to them by other parties.
Last month, Dawn.com had learned that at least 17 PTI lawmakers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa allegedly sold their votes during the Senate election enabling two PPP candidates to be elected to the Senate from the province where the PPP only has seven MPAs.
An initial investigation ordered by KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak into alleged horse-trading had revealed that at least 17 ─ and as many as 20 ─ PTI MPAs in KP had voted for candidates outside the party, sources in CM House Peshawar and Bani Gala had told DawnNewsTV.
The names of the lawmakers who are suspected by the party leadership of "selling their votes" include:
Bibi Fouzia
Deena Naaz
Nargis Ali
Nagina Khan
Sardar Idrees
Obaid Mayar
Zahid Durrani
Naseem Hayat

Laziness seems to be pretty universal.
I mean unless I am horribly wrong –and I have been–there are just certain things people do or don't do that are considered lazy all across the board. Laying in bed all day unless it is recommended by your docter, mother, or whoever else has your well being at heart is usually considered lazy. Making a caller wait 20 minutes because no one in the house wants to stop doing nothing long enough to answer the door is usually considered lazy. Though, I guess if you have a fear of or aversion to answering doorbells, or if you've literally just collapsed in fear your muscles will kill you should you try to move again, that's something different entirely. Nevertheless you get my point. Sometimes though, what one person might call laziness, another person might say just makes more sense.
I was once told by my aunt that at 16, I was still gofor-age; however I have a feeling that at approximately 20 something, I would still be considered a gofor. I guess it doesn't help that I'm so willing, but it's too late now to decide that it bothers me. Truthfully though, it doesn't. So when I was in the kitchen earlier tonight cleaning the counter off and found Georgy's cup of drink; I was only too happy to bring it out to her.
In that case, it just made more sense; I was already in the kitchen with the drink and honestly the apartment isn't that big anyway.
On the other hand, I did once leave my room to bring her computer to her when they were both less than 6 feet apart. So that I would consider being lazy, but really, it doesn't bother me. This is probably why I am still a gofor, but hey it's good to know your role in life, right?
Last weekend I was out with some friends and because I can never manage to finish an entire meal at a restaurant, I had leftovers for 2 days. So by the time Monday came around I neither wanted to cook, nor was I interested in anything we had in the house to eat.
On the one hand, everything we have needs to be cooked or at the very least heated up, on the other hand I did not want to wash dishes to make food then rewash those dishes plus the ones newly dirty from my meal. Then it was Tuesday and I could feel my stomach trying to eat itself. So in case you were thinking I was supergirl and amune to laziness, a big ha ha to that!
Enter Wednesday. I had eatten 3 cookies and a slice of cheese. Then I decided I was going to gather up the measuring cups, spoons, the bowls and make muffins from scratch.
I think Heather said it best as she was on her way out the door,
"How does that make sense?"

It was a bit of a challenge for Chef Chris Reveron when he came to the Apawamis Club six years ago. Even though he'd spent years in the military (including 25 months in Iraq), it was hard to get used to a kitchen that held equipment from almost 30 years ago.
But with the help of HAFSCO, Chris has turned the Apawamis Club kitchen around, creating an open-flow workspace with state-of-the-art equipment that makes his job much easier and more productive.
Charged with feeding demanding club members and guests, Reveron found it even more challenging to make the transition from traditional club food to more fresh and innovative menus, especially with the old design of the kitchen and its equipment.
"Our goals were to create a new kitchen that would enable our team to expedite our banquet service," noted the Apawamis Club General Manager Rory Godfrey. "We did our research and we saw the track record that HAFSCO has created with the great work that they have done for so many clubs in our area."
"It was the big old meat and potatoes when I came to the club in 2010. But as the years went on, I began to come out of my shell. I have some members today who will come here and dine and feel like they're in lower Manhattan," he said proudly.
Going from a New York Strip with sautéed asparagus and potato dauphinoise, Reveron turned the menu around to the new "build your own plate" concept. "You can take that one New York Strip and turn it into six different entrees. You can choose your own vegetable from 6 different items, your own starch from 6 different items. How about your own sauce for your steak? You can choose one of four different sauces. So, literally I leave it up to the membership to build their plates exactly how they want, from cooking, to production, and whatever sides, anything that they want," he explained.
That's brought the membership satisfaction rate through the roof. "Because, when you're in clubs, a lot of the members expect you to build a menu, based on your talent, and what I think fits right with the proteins, starch, and vegetables. So giving them this opportunity to build their own plates gives them a little more leverage. And it makes them feel a little more special at the club, that they're able to have a steak char-broiled, pan-seared, just baked, however they want it."
Very traditional chefs are usually set in their ways, so it's not going to work, according to Reveron. "But when I had the opportunity, I just jumped right in. It was a challenge because it was new for the front of the house and for my culinary department," he noted. "You take a ticket of four entrees that's about six inches long and it takes a little longer because every plate is custom made. It took us about two to three months to get acclimated to the system, but it just works great. It's so much better for the
Reveron also developed a Wednesday night treat, a recipe for a ricotta beignet, with a fresh house-made chocolate sauce sent out after dinner, gratis, to every table. "Wednesdays are the beginning of our week, so usually sales are small but we have increased sales by about 20 to 23 percent," he declared. He also prepares an amuse-bouche, compliments of the house, on Saturdays. But you can't do any of this without the right equipment.
"When I first walked in, the equipment was just so broken down. The average age of our earliest piece of equipment was about 17 years old and the oldest, 26. It was a very aged kitchen. One of the biggest hindrances of the job was trying to produce with the volume that was coming in with the aged equipment. You had pilots and burners that weren't working or blowing out the right BTUs," he recalled "You had ovens that you would set at 450 degrees but would never go past 375. So, there were a lot of obstacles and challenges in that kitchen. Because of my military background, I jot down notes all the time as to what I would do if I had the opportunity."
And he got it. During the design phase, Reveron worked side by side with Tommy Capobianco at HAFSCO, whom he'd known his entire culinary career. "And I trust him because this is his forte when it comes to designing the flow of the kitchen. What we accomplished is the best adult playground that any chef could ever wish for!" Reveron exclaimed.
When anyone walked into the Apawamis Club kitchen in the past, the hotline was furthest away from the egress to the kitchen. "So, my first instinct is, that hotline is in the wrong place. It needs to be closer to the dining room so the food can stay hotter longer. It's a pretty long walk from my kitchen to the main restaurant. And initially, the pot washers and dish sinks were completely separated, dishes in the front, pots in the back. I decided to make that station whole, so, number one, you'll have constant personnel back there washing. It's just cleaner. It's almost like the front of the house and back of the house battle all the time. There's a pot washer and dishwasher battle. So now they have no choice but to work with one another and get accustomed to that," he pointed out.
Moving the hotline closer to the kitchen allowed Reveron to have two production lines, one for a la carte, and one for banquet. "But I needed to be in a place where I could observe both at any given time, because I can be doing a wedding of 250 and still have a la carte with 140 reservations between the three restaurants."
So he worked with Capobianco to open the kitchen up. "It's an open floor plan. Now both the banquet and a la carte lines are visible from one standpoint, wherever I need to be, so I can run both operations at once," he stated.
Reveron gave as an example at the United States Seniors Golf Association Tournament, which the club does every year. "About 550 guys and it's a three-course plated meal. I've timed it from my first year here, and it took us 47 minutes," he said. "Now we're down to 26 minutes, plating and getting the 550 fed. In the military I was always taught time management equates to success in any facet of business and it's very true."
The chef is very proud that, with the new equipment, and his ability to manage his time and production, the kitchen has been able to decrease the amount of time it takes to get dishes out by 50%. "That way everyone knows where they are, what they're doing station-wise, and the way that I operate everything is in black and white for every event. If I have my cold team plating salads, they're all in green. They know they don't have anything to do with the yellow coded, or the red coded. So, they stay in green. I break it down that way. I've had other chefs come in here and help me for events, and one calls me 'the OCD monster' because of how organized I am," he acknowledged.
Reveron also has All-Clad in his kitchen. "You want that All Clad on that burner and within 30 seconds, that pan can be at a smoke point. The Montague charbroiler as well. We turned over from a radiant to infrared, which decreases your cook time and sear time by 50%. These are some of the charbroilers that Wolfgang Puck uses at his restaurant.
This year for the State Senior Golf Association Tour, using the charbroiler, not one steak of 550 was sent back to the kitchen because it was either under- or over-cooked. "One of the gentlemen looked at me and said, 'Chef, how the hell did you do it? Every steak was cooked beyond perfect.' It's such a fail- safe piece of equipment, you just can't go wrong,"
he maintained.
HAFSCO helped out when the Apawamis Club moved to the farm to table model, as well. Using a farm created by former employees, Reveron gets food grown specifically for him. "All of our arugula is organically grown, all of my micro greens, heirloom tomatoes, five by six tomatoes."
That's where HAFSCO comes in. The kitchen had all the refrigeration it needed, but it had to be moved. For all the fresh produce flooding the restaurant, space had to be ample, and available. "I couldn't do it without them," Reveron concluded. "You don't meet owners of companies like that who are so involved in every aspect and facet of their business. Together, we're a winning team."
"They have a great ability to quickly get on the same page with us. You could see the expertise in the questions they asked and the drawings," the veteran club manager Godfrey continued. "We would use HAFSCO again in a heartbeat for future projects."

April 21, 2010 --The lawyer for Joseph Reyes will ask a Cook County judge to drop a contempt of court charge against the divorced father.
Attorney Joel Brodsky won Reyes's right to take his 3-year-old daughter to Catholic mass during her visitations with him.
An injunction by Reyes's estranged wife originally forbade him from exposing the girl to any religion other than Judaism.
After taking the girl to mass he was charged with contempt, but last week the injunction was lifted. The motion to dismiss the contempt charge will be heard on Monday April 26.

My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age.
— Florida Scott-Maxwell
These words aptly describe Dene Peterson, not in their particulars — she was passionate in her 70s! — but in their spirit. I remember seeing Moulin Rouge with her when she was but a spry 72. The movie about a poet in love with a cabaret actress/courtesan was sexual, rocking, flamboyant, and outrageous in its rapid-fire cinematography and cutting. It left me in the dust, but not Dene, who enjoyed it thoroughly. I couldn't have had a more fun date than with this ex-nun and distinguished elder.
In the Bible, Sarah is unexpectedly and repeatedly challenged by God.
Uprooted from their home, she and Abraham must in their old age travel at God's
whim to a new promised land. She, like Abraham, is given a new name (Sarai is
changed to Sarah) and — at the ripe old age of 90 — informed that she is to have
a child. Her reaction? She laughs. And when the prediction is miraculously
fulfilled. she names her child "Isaac" — which means, in Hebrew, "to laugh."
Dene is Sarah, Sarah is Dene. How many times has she heeded God's call and moved to new places, assumed new identities, given birth to new projects and new versions of the self? Born in Kentucky, one of 11 children in an energetically Catholic family, at age 18 she became a Glenmary Sister. Dedicated to serving the poor and marginalized, she worked in Chicago… and Ohio… and Michigan — ever birthing new projects. Called to be a nun, she then experienced herself called out — along with the majority of Glenmary Sisters — to pursue their service work independent of the institutional hierarchy. When the age of "retirement" came, it became the moment for new birthing — her grandbaby being the
ElderSpirit Community.
Though ElderSpirit upholds the traditional association of elderhood with wisdom and spirituality, overstating the radical nature of this experiment in communal living — and its importance — is difficult. ElderSpirit was the first senior cohousing community founded in the United States. It is also the first model of a residential setting where elders of all faith traditions (or none) can use their later years to support one another, serve social justice and the planet Earth, deepen their contemplative practice, and grow closer to God/Spirit.
In a land where aging can mean isolation — or self-centeredness — or institutionalization — Dene has shown us a different model. Dwelling just off the beautiful Virginia Creeper Trail, in Abingdon, Virginia, ElderSpirit residents own or rent their own homes — the community is resolutely mixed income — yet share common spaces to eat, meet, meditate, and worship. They are engaged in outward service and inward contemplation. They live together, age together, and maintain that support through illness, disability, and death.
Dene may be the Dean of ElderSpirit, but her gift has been to bring so many together — members of FOCIS (Federation of Communities in Service), co-leaders of the community, the Retirement Research Foundation, government agencies, prospective residents, and supporters — to make this "promised land" a reality.
Dene receiving the Cohousing
Association award from Jim Leach.
Elderspirit Community now houses 40 residents. It has become a national model, and a site for training communities around the country who wish to birth similar late-life experiments. She well deserves the Lifetime Achievement Award granted her at the 2011 National Cohousing Conference.
But what is her "lifetime achievement"? Herself? I know her as a person whose well-earned self-esteem is tempered with humility. "I am the first one to receive this award with but one project under their belt," she said at the Conference, "and I made lots of mistakes doing it." Mostly I think of Dene's delightful sense of humor. "At 50," wrote George Orwell, "everyone has the face he deserves." Dene has such a face, filled with "wrinkles" which are really smile-lines. She made me laugh that evening when, visiting ElderSpirit, I found myself spirited away to Moulin Rouge, an outrageous film made more enjoyable by the outrageous person by my side.
In the Bible, when Sarah named her child "Isaac" (to laugh), she explained "God has brought me laughter; everyone who hears will laugh with me." Let us laugh with Dene at a lifetime of joy and service. Let us laugh at her "retirement," which was really a rebirth. Let us laugh at ElderSpirit Community, an impossible dream that now boasts some 29 completed homes.
If Dene's 70s and 80s are this passionate — who knows what's coming next?

New York's doctors and nurses are typically well-educated and well-trained. Yet, despite their years of preparation, nothing can fully prepare them for the unique and challenging circumstances that await them. Many medical professionals are able to rise to the occasion, but many others fail to even meet the applicable standard of care. When these doctors and nurses fail, innocent patients are harmed. In an attempt to recover their losses -- which may include lost wages and medical expenses -- these individuals may pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit.
However, many medical malpractice claims are hotly contested. Well-off doctors ,and the hospitals at which they work, have a mountain of resources at their disposal and they will use them to the fullest advantage. Therefore, plaintiffs need to be as fully prepared for battle as they can. One way to do this is to anticipate the potential defenses the injured party may face.
There are many defenses to medical malpractice, but one of the most common is simply challenging the elements of negligence. A doctor may argue that he or she gave medical care that lived up to the standard of care or the doctor may argue that his or her mistake did not cause the injuries in question. Other defenses, exist, though, such as contributory negligence and expiration of the statute of limitations.
The defense strategy chosen will depend heavily on the facts of a case. Successfully anticipating these defenses, though, can give a plaintiff an advantage. The matter can be complicated, and a case may hinge on case law or evidentiary issues. For this reason, many New Yorkers find the assistance of a skilled attorney beneficial.

The Starbuck director Howard Schultz has stated how these occasions encompassing the white patriot public meeting around Virginia, some days ago had placed the "ethical fiber" for our nation being referred to.
He had stated this during some workers' discussion sometime last week revealing his dire and "significant worry over an absence for disposition, profound quality, mankind," showed during this assembly, as indicated by a review for this gathering uploaded to the Starbucks' site.
"The ethical core, these qualities, in addition to our quality being a nation had remained to remains truly suspended precariously above the pit," he revealed to representatives. "We remain around some basic crossroads in our records. This was never the distortion. America is on as well as confronting the cauldron wherein the day by day lifestyle is becoming tested in addition to becoming addressed with reference to that which was deemed correct as well as unto that which isn't deemed right."
The crowd of people, for the most part Caucasian males as well as several individuals conveying weapons, focalized into this school municipality last weekend hollering hostile to Jews in addition to bigot insults in addition to conveying Confederate banners further along with pro-Nazi as well as Klansmen signage. The road battle erupted amongst these folks as well as counter-dissenters, in addition to some lady becoming slaughtered as well as several individuals who were harmed at what time a male rammed ann auto towards individuals walking in opposition to this public meeting.
The Starbucks boss publicly condemned the recent anti-Semitic and racial demonstrations in America
"What we'd seen during the previous end of the week … remains in opposition to each feeling to that which is deemed to be correct," Schultz stated. "My dread was never just on how the behavior was being granted authorization and permit, yet its direct is being standardized towards a threshold wherein individuals are never again concealing the face."
Advising workers he was addressing these people "as some united states' citizen, being Jewish, being some parent, and also someone's grandparent," he stated on how it's difficult to stay idealistic on the subject of the nation's potential "amidst such a tempest," yet regardless he remains upbeat.

Fall is upon us! Poinsettias will be starting to show first color in greenhouses, a sign of the shorter days of fall. Long days can have several effects on plant growth and development. Most relevant to greenhouse crop producers is the effect of long days on flowering. Long days promotes flowering of species with facultative and obligate long day flowering responses. Alternatively, long days will inhibit flowering of plants with facultative and obligate short day flowering responses. Another effect long days has on woody and herbaceous perennial crops is to delay the onset of dormancy and keep them actively growing. Since long days can be required for some crops or production strategies and growers will have to take steps to create long-day conditions during the short days of fall, winter, and early spring.
When are days "long"? Well, that depends on the plant. Whether a day is "long" or "short" depends on the response of specific species and their critical photoperiod. For long-day plants, the critical photoperiod is the photoperiod at or above which flowering occurs. For short-day plants, the critical day photoperiod is the photoperiod at or below which flowering occurs. For some plants, 14-hour days may be "short," while to others it may be "long." To err on the safe side, a 14 to 16-hour day (or an interrupted night) is usually a safe bet when trying to create a long day.
Creating long days
There are two primary methods of providing long-day lighting in greenhouses and controlled environments: 1) day extension; and 2) night interruption (Fig. 1). Both of these methods can successfully elicit long-day responses, whether it is flower induction for long-day plants, vegetative growth for short-day plants, or delaying the onset of dormancy and promoting active growth.
Day-extension lighting is the use of lights to extend the natural day length or photoperiod. One approach is to have lights begin operating at just before sunset and continue running until the target day length has been met. Alternatively, lights can come on in the early morning when it is dark outside, extending the day in the morning as opposed to in the evening. The other method for providing long days is to use night interruption lighting. As the name implies, night interruption lighting breaks up the long, uninterrupted dark period so plants perceive a short night, or a long day. Sometimes referred to as "mum lighting," night interruption traditionally operates from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. Whether using day-extension or night-interruption lighting, the minimum light intensity required for plants to perceive "day" is 2 µmol·m–2·s–1; higher light intensities can be used, but this is the minimum for effective photoperiodic lighting.
Lights for long-day lighting
There are a number of different lights that can be used for long-day lighting, including incandescent, fluorescent, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. Each of these has their own advantages and disadvantages.
Incandescent lamps have been the most widely used and ubiquitous type of light used for long-day lighting. They are cheap to purchase and easy to install. Incandescent bulbs also have a ratio of red (R) light to far-red (FR) light that is effective for inducing flowering. While the FR light is essential for flowering, it can promote internode elongation or "stretch." Additionally, for anybody who has ever touched an incandescent bulb while it is on or shortly after it is turned off, you know that these bulbs can get hot; the production of radiant energy increases the power consumption of these bulbs.
When compact fluorescent bulbs were being introduced, there was lots of interest by producers looking to use less energy than traditional incandescent. While they do consume less power, there is much less FR light in compact fluorescent bulbs, which can make them less effective than other lights with more FR light. One way to realize some energy savings while not delaying your crop is to alternate compact fluorescent and incandescent bulbs in your greenhouse; the incandescent bulbs will provide adequate FR light, while the compact fluorescent bulbs will use less energy.
A part of the explosion of LED lights that have come onto the marketplace recently is the "flowering lamp" (Fig. 2). These are low-intensity LED bulbs that can screw into the same fixtures incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs screw into. In addition to being completely interchangeable with traditional bulbs, they have a range of different "recipes" or different combinations of light spectra like red, far-red, and blue. While the initial capital cost for these bulbs is more expensive compared to incandescent and CFL, the low energy consumption and long lifespan will more than pay back the investment.
A newer style of HPS lamp is being used for long-day lighting. While it looks similar to traditional HPS lamps at a glance, these new fixtures have a reflector that oscillates, changing the directionality or orientation of the light over the crop. Since the lamp location is stationary, the intermittent lighting from the oscillating makes this lighting strategy a type of cyclical lighting, where intermittent — not continuous — lighting is used.
Take-home messages
Before you plant, check the photoperiod requirements of your crops. You can improve timing and quality of photoperiodic crops by using effective lighting strategies and equipment. Knowing when, how, and with what to provide long days in your greenhouse will liberate you from the natural day length and expand your production possibilities.

Nice....I said in the other thread I thought it was a possibility after the fights last week, even before Dana mentioned it.
It just made complete sense. No one else in either division for each of them to fight that would draw as well as this.
I think they want DJ/TJ on that card too. So it would be 2 cross-division title fights.
Besides DJ / TJ ... good chance we get Cyborg / Nunes too
IF so this card will be dynamite
Opening #'s
Miocic -185
Cormier +150
Miocic wins. No doubt. Too much natural size, height, reach and power. DC is a natural middleweight.
DC is undefeated at Heavyweight
Please explain how he is a natural middleweight.
His height and reach are all that of a middleweight. Huge reach disadvantage. His weight is all fat. Cut out the extra weight which is fat that he doesn't need and he would be a middleweight. He beat old, slow bums with average striking and defense at heavyweight. That is no knock on him. Can't expect someone that size to beat elite heavyweights. You could make the case that if they both were exactly the same size maybe DC is better. MAYBE. But with little difference is skill...the bigger guy gets the win. And it is not like he is smaller and has much better footwork, movement and speed. If that was the case maybe he can find a way to outstrike stipe. It is not. Being the smaller heavyweight is often an advantage because of better cardio.... speed and footwork...in this case he doesn't have the edge there...or at size.....weight....reach.
You are another reason I don't post over here anymore ... Clown Show
Don't care what Cormiers weight is. He IS NOT a natural heavyweight . Even he says so. I like him. Pound for pound one of the best. I'm not saying he can't win. He is that good. I just don't see it. Put it this way. If they fought 100 times Miocic wins more than he loses.
Stipe has KO victories over some of the best heavyweights in the world, I couldn't even recall DC KOing anyone in the top 10 ever. It just wouldn't happen.
DC's edge in this fight is not standing, he is gonna have to take Stipe down.
MM are you betting anything tonight.
Jacare has moved from -165 to -110 in the matter of days.
You saying DC is a natural middlewight because of his length is all i needed to hear. Absolutely Clueless as always
No substance huh? Try flipping through a few pages down here, I know a lot more about this sport than you ever will.
Keep trying your hardest to fit in down here, its cute ..... and embarrassing
This will be an interesting fight. How is Stipe on the ground? Never really seen him in action on the ground.
I don't see how DC does any damage to Stipe standing up. If they were not to go on the ground at all, I'd be heavy on Stipe for the win.
I'm usually wrong in MMA, but I'd imagine a DC vs. Ngannou fight would be way more interesting.
It should be Bones Jones Vs Miocic .. that would be the mega fight of all times, Jones beat the shit out of DC twice and Jones has the frame to be fucking true HW. The winner of that fight should fight Cain and then we would know who was the best off all times, There is no one in the top 10 rankings other then Miocic who could beat Jones.

Why You Don't Need a Digital Strategy
In addition to a digital strategy, here are a bunch of other strategies you don't need ...
Social media strategy, content strategy, user experience strategy, Facebook strategy, Twitter strategy, Tumblr strategy, Instagram strategy, Pinterest strategy, mobile strategy, app strategy, engagement strategy, influencer strategy and so on.
These are modern marketing enablers, not strategies.
Modern marketing enablers are overemphasized when a brand is not confident in its purpose. These enablers become strategy-disguised as a compromise for this uncertainty.
Think differently about how you might to respond to someone asking you for a digital strategy. Think again about asking your agency partner to create a digital strategy for you. Think more about your brand purpose and how modern marketing enablers can help get you there.

The CEO of German drugmaker Bayer has quashed any talk of acquiring its competitor Syngenta, which is currently being pursued by U.S. firm Monsanto.
"I would say that Syngenta is not a logical acquisition target for Bayer because there is quite some overlap in the businesses," Bayer's CEO Marijn Emmanuel Dekkers told CNBC.
"Both Syngenta and Bayer are very strong in chemical crop protection: herbicides, insecticides, fungicides that farmers use to fight off disease for their crops. So no, that is not a logical target for Bayer."

The house is a massive investment. It is something that you do not want to take for granted, especially if it is the value of your hard-earned money. One of the parts of the house that are prone to damage is the exterior walls.
These walls suffer from wear and tear brought about by their exposure to environmental hazards such as the scorching sun and torrential rains. Depending on the material used, claddings serve as protection for the walls and at the same time, add to the house's aesthetic value. Aside from appeal, here are the benefits of wall claddings.
Protect the wall from weather and environmental hazards
The wall of your house is one of the most exposed areas of the structure, next to the roof. The weatherboard profiles – offered by firms such as Nu-wall Aluminium Cladding – together will wall claddings, make sure the wall is safe from various weather changes.
They are there for a reason, and that is to protect the walls from damage and exposure to harmful elements in the environment.
Aesthetic value
Wall claddings, aside from protecting your external walls from various elements, add aesthetic value to your home. There are many colours, designs, and textures to choose from, depending on your preference and choice. When you have wall claddings, your house will look more sophisticated and conventional.
Heat and cold insulation
Believe it or not, wall claddings provide insulation to your home. When it is hot, the wall claddings reflect heat away from the house, to make sure you will not feel warm inside. On the other hand, when it is too cold, the claddings protect your interior to make it feel comfortable and warm.
Wall claddings provide many benefits to any home-owner. These are there not to add decorations and aesthetic value to your external house, but also provide insulation and protection from external forces that can damage your walls.

Effect of Organizational Culture on Internal Innovation Capacity
Kağan Okatan * and Orhan Behiç Alankuş**
Okan University, Turkey, Business Administration Doctorate Programme *
Okan University, Turkey, Faculty of Engineering **
Abstract:An important amount of literature has argued on different aspects of innovation and factors affecting the performance of the establishment. Since all companies aim for sustainable innovation to reach sustainable profit increase, existing literature has highlighted the emergence of a well-constructed internal innovation system for innovation success. The internal innovation system has its own dimensions effecting the success of the whole system. But it doesn't stand alone for the innovation success, since the organisational culture has influence on the internal innovation capacity of the companies. This article investigates the correlation between the dimension of the internal innovation system and organisational culture by focusing on world's most innovative companies in a comparison with various innovative companies. Identifying the organisational culture of the companies from the competing values framework point of view is also in the scope of this study. This study aims to add value to the existing literature by identifying the dominance level of the internal innovation system dimensions and the organisational culture dimensions to provide guidance to the companies which have goal to improve their innovativeness.
Keywords: effect on innovation, internal innovation system, innovation dimensions, sustainable innovation, innovation management

LCD Display Screen highlights, bad points
The bad spot of the LCD Display Screen
1. What is the bad point of the LCD Display Screen? The bad point of LCD display is also called the point absence, it refers to the LCD display black and white two colors and red, yellow, blue three primary colors display the sub-pixel point, each point refers to a sub-pixel. The most afraid of LCD Display Screen is the bad point. Once a bad point occurs, a point on the display is always displayed in the same color, regardless of the image displayed on the display. This "bad point" is unable to repair, so far, the development of liquid crystal technology to the present, still can not fundamentally overcome this flaw.
2. How is the bad point produced? The notebook's LCD Display Screen consists of two pieces of glass, about 1 mm thick, the middle is about 5 microns (1/1000 mm) of crystal droplets, separated by uniform spacing, contained in a small cell structure, each three cells constitute a pixel on the screen. Renders a square in a magnifying glass, and a pixel is a point of light. Each light point has a separate transistor to control the strength of its current, if the point of the transistor is broken, it will cause the light point will always be lit or not bright, this is the previously mentioned highlight or dark point, collectively referred to as "bad point."
3. The LCD Display Screen of the notebook has a bad point, normal? According to the industry standards, "bad point" is a normal phenomenon, but not too much. LCD computer display a certain number of bright spots or dark dots is a feature of LCD technology, for any manufacturer, such a phenomenon is inevitable. Some manufacturers believe that the LCD Display Screen on the total number of dark spots and highlights more than 9, some large-scale computer screen even more than 16, will be identified as a problem. So after the consumer bought the computer to find the bad point, almost all the computer dealers have encountered the request for replacement or replacement of LCD Display Screen users.
