A. There is a shift in HR understanding in the sense that they are no longer playing an administrative role handling the softer aspects of HR, but it's evolving to include taking ownership of people strategy, using metrics, focusing on aligning themselves with the business and partnering with the functional units. The rise of HRPB roles would indicate that HR is working closely with divisional and geographical areas which provide them the opportunity to pay close attention to the impact of HR on business activities. I think, in the early days HR felt that the human aspect of what it means t o grow and support your employees would be taken away with the use of technology. However, what has transpired is that technology helps to highlight facts and therefore, either supports or reduces the subjectivity of people-related decisions. It also helps to reduce the mechanical aspects of people management processes that require no emotional intelligence, leaving HR to provide impact at a strategic level, knowing that the technology is offering security, efficiency and accuracy to the data and workflow.
Simultaneously, the expectations from HR as a function are also increasing. For example, managers desire to be empowered to make better compensation decisions for their teams using project goals data, KPIs and other performance indicators. Even where conversations such as performance ratings are out of the door, HR is still using some form of metrics to provide that objectivity in rewards outcome decisions. This is where technology is expected to change the game for not only HR but for organizations overall.
A. From a business perspective, the trigger is the responsibility to provide a stronger experience to the decision-makers – line managers, CFO, CEOs – having a line of sight, transparency, accountability and empowerment. Technology enables HR to provide that superior data and analytics-backed experience and service to their stakeholders. Time is of the essence and with digitization as a focus area, organizations understand that technology is imperative for their success.
The compensation review process is the ideal first step towards systemizing HR. This is because there is often already a tool or process (usually Excel) that has been used to manage the data, the decisions and the communications to all those that need to be involved. However, such tools have limitations when we consider data security and integrity due to the usually high level of human interaction necessary to get input from many individuals, disaggregation and aggregation of data sets, etc. So the organization is often unaware of the potential risks associated with a process that is running smoothly due to the skill of a select few. A platform for change is often triggered when a key person leaves and their knowledge and expertise goes with them. At the same time, the compensation managers crave to use their HR qualifications to make an impact, rather than spend sleepless nights worrying about data integrity, human error or doing admin work. This is when we often get a call.
A. For three to four months of the year, the rewards managers are seen to become data manipulators to manage the process of salary decisions when their expertise often relates to the strategic benefits of rewards and their responsibility to the organizational and people goals. Getting the salary review process right, and doing it efficiently with the help of tools serves dual purposes – creates credibility among managers in the system and then provides the time for a rewards manager to assist with the policy evolution, strategic plan design, etc.
To me, data security and integrity is one of the often 'hidden' benefits. If the process goes well, then these two issues do not present themselves. However, any data breach or inaccuracy affects the credibility of all involved as well as the employer brand. It is hard to quantify in monetary terms what this means, however, we have heard of many stories where this has provided the catalyst to a purchase of a robust solution to manage the process. The financial analytics and reporting is a key output derived by organizations through these tools. Budget modeling, matrix simulations and the whole diagnostic and descriptive analytics and reporting around it can take compensation reviews and decisions to new sophisticated levels. From a strategy perspective, compensation reports are now focused on what to present to the board – the emerging trends, analysis and gaps and not just static data.
Managers' time saved, reduction in timeframe to complete the compensation review, budget spend alignment with better transparency gained via automation are other common measures for organizations to see whether investing in technology has brought about the right results.
A. The key thing with making compensation decisions is providing real-time facts to the decision-maker to avoid the need to revisit or further negotiate outcomes. These include dynamic answers to questions such as what is my budget, how am I performing against that, what are the key policy statements I need to be concerned about, among others. A traditional process would involve communication prior to a compensation review event that educates managers about current market trends, budget this year, focus areas, etc. and they are often expected to filter this as they make each decision. A best-of-breed solution often has its origins from the heart of the true business problem – recognizing the real life experience and problem that needs to be solved and providing guidance at each phase of the decision-making process to ensure everything is staying on task and the expected outcome is delivered accurately and on-time. The beauty of bes t-of-breed is the depth of expertise and knowledge that comes with the tool, ease of configurability and flexibility. Organizations today face growth, mergers, acquisitions and restructures which need to be taken into consideration when it comes to pay. A best-of-breed provider is able to adapt to these in an agile manner. They do not need to develop a code from scratch if life changes, they can simply make changes at a click of a button and that is the efficiency that is required at the time of salary review which is usually a time bound process. Failure to comply quickly with organizational changes is not taken lightly – human beings are very attached to their pay outcomes and rightly so.
A. India as a nation has a large workforce and managing processes for those many people on Excel is often problematic. Audit and governance implications are important to consider. Excel, in essence, remains a manual tool and is personal to the creator. The data also has to 'arrive' from somewhere and 'go somewhere'. Aggregation and disaggregation of data is inevitable for a salary review process and although a high level of care does occur, human intervention creates the opportunity for error. Analysis of compensation review outcomes can only occur at the point of aggregation, which is often after the decisions have been made. So, the rewards manager is left with two choices – narrow down the degree to which a people manager can make discretionary decisions to ensure organizational policy is delivered, or analyze it after the event and identify areas for improvement for the next year. With an online tool, more real-time analysis can occur and decisions redirected during the process to arrive at the desired outcome. Often the decision-making can be further devolved from senior managers because the system can manage the key aspects such as organizational policy and budget.
India comes with a workforce that is technologysavvy and embraces innovation. This cultural shift needs to occur in the HR world simultaneously to keep up with the ethos of where the country wishes to head towards with regards to technology and digitization.
A. In the next five years, I believe we will see an ecosystem of tools for each HR process where organizations can choose freely the best-of-breed tools that suit their organization's requirements and culture. Data will move seamlessly between the tools even though the providers may be different. No longer will it be seen as necessar y to choose one provider or associated providers for all HR needs due to data integration challenges. In addition to this, I see a rise in expectations from the tools to be able to combine both internal and external data to provide higher degree analytics for businessaligned compensation discussions and decisions.

Lava has listed a new slate in official website, dubbed as Xtron Mega. It has punched with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS, which is too old and you should avoid purchasing this, because after releasing the device most of the company does not care to update with latest operating system. Lava should learn from Intex, who has yesterday launched Intex Aqua Star L running on Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Lava had earlier launched Lava Xtron Z704 with KiKat OS with a price Rs 6499. However, this time, the company has listed Xtron Mega without price tag and should be released soon in the Indian market.
Lava says, the Lava Xtron Mega tablet boasts 1.3 GHz Quad Core (Action 7029) processor and clubbed with Power VR SGX540 GPU. It features a 10.1-inch touchscreen display with 1280×800 pixels of resolution, that is good. The slate houses a 2-megapixel rear shooter and also sports a VGA front-facing camera for video calling.
The Xtron Mega is equipped with 1GB of RAM and packs a sufficient amount of internal storage (16GB) that is further expandable with up to 32GB of microSD card only. It is backed by a heavy duty battery of 6000 mAh capacity.
Connectivity options include in Lava Xtron Mega as HDMI, Blutooth V3.0, Wi Fi, 3.5mm audio-jack, micro-USB, Google Maps, tethering and GPS/A-GPS. The firm has not confirmed the dimension and weight of the device.

'Wicked' group sales means 10 pct. discount
December 23rd, 2011
"Wicked," which will make its Hawaii debut in an eight-week run beginning Nov. 24, 2012 at Blaisdell Concert Hall, is the midst of a group-sale ticket campaign now.
The date for individual ticket sales will be announced sometime early next year.
Group sales — for bulk purchases of 20 seats minimum, translating to a 10 percent discount in prices —were launched Dec. 15 in an invitational event at Blaisdell, attended by one of the show's producers, David Stone, with cast members performing excerpts from the Tony Award-winning musical.
Presenters deemed the special session as "the largest group sales kickoff event ever," though specific tallies were not announced. Besides the discount, group sale purchases give buyers the opportunity to select the best seats available for all dates.
Group sales may be made by calling 593-2468, or downloading an order form at www.BroadwayInHawaii.com.
"Wicked," a prequel to the "Wizard of Oz" story, is one of Broadway's hot tickets and is one of the most anticipated new productions here.
It will be staged from Nov. 24, 2012, through Jan. 16, 2013, with eight shows a week, including several matinees.
The production is being presented by Broadway in Hawaii, which earlier has staged such attractions as "Beauty and the Beast," "Cats" and "Riverdance."
"It is a gret honor to be able to host the national tour of 'Wicked' and introduce Hawaii to this musical phenomenon," said Bruce Granath, marketing chief for Broadway in Hawaii.
The show features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire.
The show's artistic team includes Tony winners Joe Mantello (director) and Wayne Cilento (musical staging).

I thought the videos and interviews were great but I would prefer these separated from the lectures on tangible material. I kind of feel like the course was rudderless and just gave some headlines and then said to go figure it out on your own, but be inspired by all of these extremely successful people. I would like to see the course get into more depth, for example where to start on market research. Where to start on budgeting, and how to go about developing some of these specific business aspects. I enjoy shlmo's lectures but just wish some of this course "zoomed in" to me and seemed too "zoomed out"

Since the very first week I knew this course was worth taking it. Shlomo is TRULY an amazing teacher, he is very instructive and very inspiring. The slides he provides (that you can also download) are very helpful too. I haven't finished the course yet, I am in week 5, but I am very pleased with the path that every lesson takes and I am in love with the way he instructs. Thanks very much Sholomo! You are an awesome teacher.

Appeal to help little Ava to walk
The London Irish parents of a five year old little girl with cerebral palsy have publicly appealed for help in raising money for an operation that will help her to walk.
The complicated corrective surgery on little Ava's nervous system is not available on the NHS but parents Danny and Mary Brosnan have been told by Great Ormond Street Hospital that the operation can be had if privately funded.
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is an operation used to improve spasticity or muscle stiffness in cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy occurs when a child sustains a brain injury early in life. The operation can be carried out up to the age of 12 years old and there is a waiting list of nine to twelve months.
Danny, 48, and Mary, 43, from Neasden and Kingsbury and who have two other children, Mia, 12, and Conor, 9, need to raise £35,000 for Ava's life-changing §surgery. To date they have raised £15,000 but worry the campaign may have plateaued.
Mary, 43, whose parents came from Ballycastle in Mayo, told the Irish World: "It is caused by lack of oxygen to the brain. At the moment the spasticity in her legs is treated by Botox which is a really good indication she would be responsive to the surgery.
"The injections work for something like four months and she uses a little walking frame. SDR isn't available on the NHS although it has been relatively successful in a lot of cases, it is due to be reviewed in 2017.
"Ava is doing great at school and is such a happy, lovely little girl, it would be lovely if by the time she leaves school she can walk and this is behind her," said Mary.
Danny's late parents Con and Margaret came from Kiskeam in Cork and Glenbeigh in Kerry, respectively.

After reviewing Azure Data Architecture Guide, I noticed the label Online Analytical Database (OLAP) referenced as the description for Azure Analysis Services. I will call Azure Analysis Services AAS from here on. The AAS is using tabular models and not multidimensional cubes. Lately, OLAP has not been seen as an overall description of the tabular model. There were references to semantic model replacing cube's data source view.
It is good to see this in official Microsoft documentation. While recording or speaking, we do not have to skirt around this tabular versus cube and now just call both OLAP. I had been calling it Analytical Database or Analysis Service database.
Drilling into the documentation, you can see its place in the overall Data Architecture schema for Azure
Most of the work I do is still on premise, but I see more and more people talking about the Azure. So, I believe it is time to consider this option with most work we do. Mellissa Coates (@sqlchick) seems to be doing a lot of presentations, workshops and articles around this topic. She has some really good stuff about on premise SSIS as well on her site.
There are still some challenges to Azure DW, but Microsoft seems to be listening to client and working to improve. I find it good that they list the challenges in the document.

We don't have many details on NBA 2K13 yet, but we know that it's coming out and can probably assume it'll have similar features and quality to NBA 2K11 and NBA 2K12. With that in mind...at this point, are you planning on buying NBA 2K13? Why or why not? Do you think you could be persuaded otherwise?
I figure we'll run this poll a couple more times before the game comes out. It'll be interesting to see how the community is influenced by the previews, what changes people's minds.
As for me...I'll definitely be picking it up. It goes hand in hand with running the site really and I don't buy too many new games a year, so it's within the budget to get it along with NBA Live 13.

You know that scene in Spinal Tap, where Rob Reiner is reading the band a review of the Shark Sandwich album and he says, "This one is simply two words: Shit Sandwich?"
Scanning through most of the reviews of IV, the fourth album by Alabama Christian rockers Maylene and the Sons of Disaster is kind of like that. The crowning jewel in the dismissive statments? This one from Alternative Press:
Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster stink like wet fart from a bloated biker in a Skynyrd shirt.
Stinky, right?
Singer Dallas Taylor notes that "mixed reviews" is a fair assessment regarding IV. "Yeah, I think a lot of people thought we changed our style too much" he says, of the shift from Southern-tinged hardcore to full on power ballads and radio-ready rock. "We've always just had the attitude that whatever comes out comes out."
Taylor and I discussed the album, growing up as a Christian Ministry fan, and accusations that the band has "gone corporate." Maylene and the Sons of Disaster is scheduled to perform Tuesday, January 31 at Club Red in Tempe.
Up on the Sun: Have you guys toured much in support of IV? It came out late last year, right?
Dallas Taylor: It came out in September. We've toured a little bit on it. We did some headlining dates, and we supported Thursday right before the holidays. Right before Thanksgiving through the middle of December. We haven't toured a whole lot on it yet, we've just the East Coast, a Northeast kind of deal.
You did some dates with Thursday? Right as they are getting ready to call it quits. I bet those shows were pretty crazy.
Yeah, it was awesome. Really cool.
What was the reaction to the new material been like? I read a bunch of reviews, you know, and they did not seem overwhelmingly positive. A lot of critics didn't seem to like the change in direction.
Yeah, I think a lot of people thought we changed our style too much. We've always just had the attitude that whatever comes out comes out. But I think live it's different than it is on record. A lot of it is more aggressive, more in your face. Live it's gone over really well, we haven't heard no one say anything. People just say the stuff sounds awesome live. I think it's just one of the things that people expect us to sound like the first record, and not getting over that. It happens to a lot of bands, like, anything different from that record [isn't as well received.] Our first two records were a lot heavier. The third record was different, too. And this record -- it's a small minority, you know? It seems like new fans coming in, people that are hearing our band for the first time, the new record goes over the best.
When you were making the record, did you finish up tunes like "Taking on Water" and wonder if people were going to be thrown by the sounds? Did you ever wonder, "Are our fans going to be into this?"
We just kind of knew we wanted a rock that had a dark feeling. More exposed, I guess, showing our hearts and we didn't really plan on what the style would be like or how the music would sound. We just wanted that feeling. "Taking on Water" reminded us a lot of "Listen Close," from the third record. Not the sound, but the idea of it. We've always been into the Southern thing. That song has more of a classic Southern rock feel than a lot of the stuff we done. A lot of people just want to hear us sounding as aggressive as we can get. And I love playing that kind of stuff. This record, we didn't really think about it [not] having as much screaming your head off kind of stuff. The next record could be different; it might be the most aggressive thing we've ever done. What don't really know until we get into the studio. Maybe we should plan things out better, but that's just what we've always done. When you try to think things out too much, try to make something happen, that's when you loose what you're trying to do as a band.
The Southern rock thing has always been present in your sound, but this record has some very radio-radio stuff going on, too.
We wanted to be more personal, and not be as "out there." We just wanted to make straight forward, heavy songs. Stuff that would be fun to play live. We did know that.
A lot of the reviews cite more corporate rock bands like Hinder or Nickelback. Do you hear that at all.
[Laughs] On some stuff I can hear it. I don't think we'll ever be one of those bands, especially live, that will fit in that genre. People say that about that record, but if we were going for that...I don't know. We would have tried to make more of a butt rock record. Not butt rock, but you know... I love a lot of those bands, so I'm not trying to talk bad about it. It's just more straightforward, but some of the songs are more mainstream than anything we've done before.
There's a religious or Christian element to what you do. The segregation of Christian rock from secular rock has never been less defined, especially in the hardcore scene.
I have my believes, and that's what gets me by. We're a pretty open band. We hardly tour with Christian bands. We play Christian festivals once a while. But we just try and be a positive band. I can only speak for myself, but my beliefs are a big part of me, part of what I'm about. But I don't want to ram my beliefs down someone's throat. That's what helped me, when I was going through some hard times, was someone caring for me. Not trying to convert me. I'm big on beliefs, but it's more about being a real person, and caring for people. That's how I share the love of God. Some of the bands in the Christian scene kind of drive me crazy, because it's all about how much can you ram your believes down people's throats. When I was growing up, Christian music was not very well accepted. Heavier bands, if they were accepted, it's because how cool they were with normal bands.
Growing up, were you allowed to listen to secular bands? Did you grow up religious?
I grew up very religious. Southern Baptist. No, I don't think I was allowed...I didn't even really know what heavy music was. My brother was older than me...he let me hear Deicide and Neurosis and Ministry when I was young, but not telling my parents. The older I've got, the more my parents have opened up, but my dad was a Southern Baptist music leader, and really deep in the church.

You could have maybe fooled them with Ministry. You could have got away with it as long as they didn't listen to the record.
Yeah, "Jesus Built My Hotrod." [Laughs]

Authoritarianism is related to a high degree of attachment to social conventions, a high degree of submission to authorities, and a high level of aggression. Numerous studies on authoritarianism have examined the political perspective of authoritarianism and shown that those who score high on authoritarianism scales tend to have rigid ideologies about political leaders and established authorities. They also tend to support traditional social norms. However, compared to psychology's understanding of authoritarianism and politics, there are fewer studies examining the non-political correlations of authoritarianism. In order to extend the construct validity of authoritarianism, the current study examines the influence of culture on attitudes about interpersonal relationships, particularly, the relationship between authoritarianism and attitudes about marriage and gender. This study focuses on the attitudes of South Korean students about marriage, dating, and the ideal characteristics of a potential spouse. Results indicate that gender differences occurred with regards to attitudes about arranged marriages. Furthermore, authoritarianism was correlated reliably with more traditional ideas about marriage and dating. We hope the data collected from South Korea will help increase psychologists' understanding of the nonpolitical correlates of authoritarianism from a country different from the U.S.

A group of golfers celebrated the life of a former club member last weekend.
On Friday, Haxey Gate Golf Club in Misterton held a golf day in memory of Alan Jones of Westwoodside.
Spokesman Rodger Bird said: "Alan passed away recently after putting up a courageous fight against cancer. He was quite the happiest and jovial person you could ever wish to meet both on and off the golf course and it was always a joy to be in his company.
"Because of the character that he was, Friday was a 'fun day', Alan wouldn't have wanted it to be any other way."
The day included a round of golf, buffet lunch, and prize-giving by Alan's wife Jayne. All members wore new golf shirts which have been obtained with a special 'Alan Jones' logo.
On the day, £271 was raised in aid of Prostrate Cancer UK and special thanks went to all of those people who generously donated prizes and trophies.
Rodger added: "For those taking part in the event, the day really was all about the memory of Alan Jones who was one of the nicest individuals that you could ever wish to meet.
"It was always an absolute pleasure to be in his company."
Prize winners included Roger Keeley who received the 'Nearest the pin' and Rodger Bird who was the overall winner.
Haxey Gate Golf Club is a nine-hole (18 tees), par 70 golf course on flat terrain.
It proves a tough challenge with many water features and guarded greens.
It is in a tranquil setting with the River Idle running adjacent to the course.
The Haxey Gate Inn public house provides a perfect finish to the round.

Dorian West admits Calum Clark's lengthy lay-off has been difficult for the flanker.
Clark injured his shoulder in the pre-season win at Wasps and later suffered a setback in training, meaning he was forced to have surgery.
He was expected to be out until the new year and there is still no sign of last season's players' and supporters' player of the season returning.
Forwards coach West said: "Calum Clark's was a long-term injury and he had an operation so he's still trying to recover from that, which is sometimes a bit slower than you want, especially if you've got the character of Calum who wants to play every minute of every game.
"It's been difficult for him.
"There's no doubt with Calum that as soon as he's right to play, he'll be holding his hand up."
Kieran Brookes is another man who was forced to go under the knife to rectify an injury.
The prop suffered a knee problem in the draw with Racing 92 in December and is now on the recovery trail.
"Kieran's done really well," West said. "He's pushed himself hard, whether that's because he wants to play for us or whether he sees an opportunity to get back involved with England.
"Credit to him, he's working well so he won't be far off.
"We need to see how it goes with him. He's getting there and he's start to do some on-feet stuff so we'll see how things go over the next few days and weeks how he progresses."

We're delighted to announce the handsome line-up of Mo-Bros who will be cultivating their facial fuzz for Bondara's Movember 2012 campaign (plus the Mo-Sistas supporting them)
Created in support of Prostate and Testicular Cancer charities, each November, Movember aims to encourage guys around the world give up shaving their top lip from the 1st to the 30th of November all in the aim of raising sponsorship money for these great charities. Here at Bondara we're always telling you to touch yourselves in whatever way feels good and we're huge advocates of prostate massagers; not only for the pleasure factor but also the added health benefits. So some of our boys have selflessly donated their faces to the cause and will be growing full, luxuriant and magnificent moustaches throughout November to support our three different fundraising efforts!
1. If you'd like to support our boys in their moustache growing, please visit http://uk.movember.com/team/530373 to make a donation (anonymously if you wish) and to check our progress.
2. Not only that but 10% of sales from 6 of our best selling Prostate Massagers will also be donated at the end of the month. Just look out for the moustache on the product image to see which ones are part of the promotion.
3. PLUS, visit our Facebook page for an extra special Bondara Movember image. Like and Share this image with your friends; as the more likes we get, the more money our boss will donate at the end of November. Make him dig deep!
Did you know that massaging your prostate can improve ejaculation and strengthen your erections? Plus, by learning exactly where your prostate is and what feels good, you'll learn how your prostate should feel normally. In the same way as women checking their boobs, the more you probe your prostate the quicker you'll know if something is amiss. Prostate cancer and testicular cancer are very treatable but the earlier you catch any warning signs, the better.
"Don't procrastinate, check your prostate."

Wag the dog and other alternate universes
Some declared the death of journalism during the 2008 Presidential election when Obama's admitted cocaine and pot use was not worthy of their scrutiny.
I declared obvious liberal bias in 1994 when they referred to Gingrich's proposals as cuts to this program or that program when there was not one penny cut to any program whatsoever.
Two months later they touted Clinton's budget as "in balance" after he stole social security and his "reductions in the proposed budget increases" (only months previously every newscaster/talking head called this a cut).
Last week a democrat operative released a secretly videotaped conversation Romney had at a fundraiser. He declared 47% unreachable by his campaign. Let's see, 49% of wage earners pay no federal income taxes, so across the board tax cuts don't mean much to them.
When Obama took office there were 30 million people on food stamps and today there are 47 million people on food stamps. I don't think welfare reform will win many of these voters over either.
We can argue about the percentage (I would put it closer to 40%) that "Romney doesn't have to worry about" as he will never win their support and he doesn't need to campaign to get it. Wow, is that some revelation or political reality.
Liberals and the lame stream news media can castigate Romney for not "worrying about the 47%" that won't vote for him anyway, but we all know that is exactly what Obama did. He doesn't care about the 54% that don't want Obamacare and want it repealed.
This president never intended to "please" the 47% that did not vote for him. In 2009, during the $800 billion stimulus package negotiations, the 47% wanted to have some input in the stimulus to what Obama (or Rahm Emanuel) replied with "we won" and immediately dismissed the minority's suggestions. We never hear about that incident.
When Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell stated he was committed to making Obama a one-term president he was excoriated by liberals and the media. Only now has it been recently reported that that remark was completely out of context.
Over the past couple months we have seen the media dig up stupid high school pranks that Mitt Romney participated in 40 years ago? The news media is making up their own narrative. They report that Mitt Romney was a bully cutting the hair of some kid and that kid was "reportedly" homosexual.
This victim is now deceased so it is very convenient for them to speculate on these 40-year-old details (and ignore the cocaine snorter Obama). His family reported that their son was not a homosexual and think it is pathetic to use their brother to further a political agenda.
Obama's latest foreign policy debacle is straight out of 'Wag the Dog'. On September 11, radical Islamist's planned terrorist attacks in Egypt and Libya where they kidnap and torture four Americans at a consulate in Benghazi. After the White House was notified of the attacks and the Ambassadors whereabouts were unknown, the president chose to go to bed! Four or five days later we see police taking a "C" grade film producer into custody. I swear I thought I saw Dustin Hoffman just off camera directing the camera shots and heard Robert De Niro saying, "The disgusting movie trailer produced by an American was the impetus of mob violence escalating to murder and torture."
Instead of any pressure put on the President of the United States, the liberals and news media (used interchangeably) hammers Mitt Romney for pointing out this Administration's acquiescence and apology for a two-minute movie trailer that nobody had seen (until they told the public where to find it).

Modern architecture
The Bauhaus Dessau architecture department from 1925 by Walter Gropius
Around the turn of the 20th century, a general dissatisfaction with the emphasis on revivalist architecture and elaborate decoration gave rise to many new lines of thought that served as precursors to Modern Architecture. Notable among these is the Deutscher Werkbund, formed in 1907 to produce better quality machine made objects. The rise of the profession of industrial design is usually placed here. Following this lead, the Bauhaus school, founded in Weimar, Germany in 1919, redefined the architectural bounds prior set throughout history, viewing the creation of a building as the ultimate synthesis—the apex—of art, craft, and technology.
When Modern architecture was first practiced, it was an avant-garde movement with moral, philosophical, and aesthetic underpinnings. Immediately after World War I, pioneering modernist architects sought to develop a completely new style appropriate for a new post-war social and economic order, focused on meeting the needs of the middle and working classes. They rejected the architectural practice of the academic refinement of historical styles which served the rapidly declining aristocratic order. The approach of the Modernist architects was to reduce buildings to pure forms, removing historical references and ornament in favor of functionalist details. Buildings displayed their functional and structural elements, exposing steel beams and concrete surfaces instead of hiding them behind decorative forms.
Architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright developed Organic architecture in which the form was defined by its environment and purpose, with an aim to promote harmony between human habitation and the natural world with prime examples being Robie House and Falling Water.
The Crystal Cathedral is a built in a modern style with panels of glass set in metal frames making both the walls and roof. A tall tower of the same materials rises beside it
The Crystal Cathedral, California, by Philip Johnson (1980)
Architects such as Mies van der Rohe, Philip Johnson and Marcel Breuer worked to create beauty based on the inherent qualities of building materials and modern construction techniques, trading traditional historic forms for simplified geometric forms, celebrating the new means and methods made possible by the Industrial Revolution, including steel-frame construction, which gave birth to high-rise superstructures. By mid-century, Modernism had morphed into the International Style, an aesthetic epitomized in many ways by the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center.
Many architects resisted Modernism, finding it devoid of the decorative richness of ornamented styles and as the founders of that movement lost influence in the late 1970s, Postmodernism developed as a reaction against its austerity. Postmodernism viewed Modernism as being too extreme and even harsh in regards to design. Instead, Postmodernists combined Modernism with older styles from before the 1900s to form a middle ground. Robert Venturi's contention that a "decorated shed" (an ordinary building which is functionally designed inside and embellished on the outside) was better than a "duck" (an ungainly building in which the whole form and its function are tied together) gives an idea of these approaches.
Environmental sustainability has become a mainstream issue, with profound affect on the architectural profession. Many developers, those who support the financing of buildings, have become educated to encourage the facilitation of environmentally sustainable design, rather than solutions based primarily on immediate cost. Major examples of this can be found in greener roof designs, biodegradable materials,and more attention to a structure's energy usage. This major shift in architecture has also changed architecture schools to focus more on the environment. Sustainability in architecture was pioneered by Frank Lloyd Wright, in the 1960s by Buckminster Fuller and in the 1970s by architects such as Ian McHarg and Sim Van der Ryn in the US and Brenda and Robert Vale in the UK and New Zealand. There has been an acceleration in the number of buildings which seek to meet green building sustainable design principles. Sustainable practices that were at the core of vernacular architecture increasingly provide inspiration for environmentally and socially sustainable contemporary techniques. The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system has been instrumental in this. An example of an architecturally innovative green building is the Dynamic Tower which will be powered by wind turbines and solar panels.
Modern concepts of architecture
The great 19th-century architect of skyscrapers, Louis Sullivan, promoted an overriding precept to architectural design: "Form follows function".
While the notion that structural and aesthetic considerations should be entirely subject to functionality was met with both popularity and skepticism, it had the effect of introducing the concept of "function" in place of Vitruvius' "utility". "Function" came to be seen as encompassing all criteria of the use, perception and enjoyment of a building, not only practical but also aesthetic, psychological and cultural.
The Sydney Opera House appears to float on the harbour. It has numerous roof-sections which are shaped like huge shining white sails
Sydney Opera House, Australia designed by Jørn Utzon.
Nunzia Rondanini stated, "Through its aesthetic dimension architecture goes beyond the functional aspects that it has in common with other human sciences. Through its own particular way of expressing values, architecture can stimulate and influence social life without presuming that, in and of itself, it will promote social development.'
To restrict the meaning of (architectural) formalism to art for art's sake is not only reactionary; it can also be a purposeless quest for perfection or originality which degrades form into a mere instrumentality".
Among the philosophies that have influenced modern architects and their approach to building design are rationalism, empiricism, structuralism, poststructuralism, and phenomenology.
In the late 20th century a new concept was added to those included in the compass of both structure and function, the consideration of sustainability. To satisfy the contemporary ethos a building should be constructed in a manner which is environmentally friendly in terms of the production of its materials, its impact upon the natural and built environment of its surrounding area and the demands that it makes upon non-sustainable power sources for heating, cooling, water and waste management and lighting.

Our History
Originally created as an ad hoc committee under the name, West Michigan Film Initiative Task Force, this group was tasked with undergirding the West Michigan Film Office. However, a more pressing need arose in when Governor Snyder called into question our state's generous incentives program.
With political pressures negatively impacting our thriving industry, we began to meet with legislators in Lansing to educate them on our industry and the important part it can play in our state's future. In doing so, we quickly realized that formalizing our organization under a 501(c)(4) designation would give our group the ability to better promote film and digital media as a viable and growing industry in West Michigan.
As such, we've since helped generate legislative support for a new Incentives Program that was passed and signed into law. This new program operates under a yearly, appropriated budget.

Big props to my aunt, I was able to see seven out of eight MMFF movies this 2016. I actually have a few things to say about the entries for the previous year's most anticipated film festival but first, let me share my thoughts about the MMFF restructure.
#Reelvolution: Change Has Come to MMFF
2016 has been a year of change for the Filipino people and the MMFF took part in this country-wide revolution. I know this is a big leap for the MMFF crew, and so I take my hat off to the brave people behind the curtain who broke the annual tradition of parading commercial movies on the big screen.
MMFF: "December's Most Awaited Family Affair?"
The only thing I didn't like, though, was the fact that they didn't include a family-friendly movie on the list. Yes, I'm one with the MMFF committee in picking these micro-budget films. I have nothing against the lineup. In fact, I actually loved the movies and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them for the years to come.
Sadly, the event is, to quote the admin of the MMFF website,"December's most awaited family affair." If they claim the festival to be a family affair, where were the family-friendly films? Oddly enough, the 2016 MMFF lineup made it impossible for kids to enjoy their movie experience. Oddly enough, the 2016 MMFF lineup deprived the Filipino families of what has become a family tradition during the Christmas season.
Let's take my aunt's situation as an example. During the previous years, she, her husband, and their three lovely daughters were able to watch almost all entries because most were either rated G or PG. This time, the only movies they have seen were Saving Sally and Vince and Kath and James.
Sure, Vince and Kath and James and Sunday Beauty Queen were rated G, but who would pick SBQ for the entire family? I can't say much about Vince and Kath and James because I haven't seen it yet, but it's a love story, not really something that brings a family closer together. Ang Babae sa Septic Tank and Oro were rated PG, but I doubt kids would take interest in those films.
When my friend and I watched Oro, two mischievous little kids sat beside us and all they did during the entire screening was to repeat the lines of the actors and actresses (they were so cute I almost punched their daddy in the face). Apart from being noisy (and annoying), these poor kids even attempted to drink my iced tea while I was busy watching how the villains killed a dog in a controversial scene. The point is, although these movies were rated G and PG, kids as young as nine years old wouldn't enjoy their movie experience if they couldn't relate to the story. Even my 12-year-old cousin didn't enjoy watching the movie.
My heart goes out to all the Filipino families who had a hard time choosing which films to watch this year because, let's face it: most of the entries were not family-friendly.
Quality Over Quantity: The Battle Between Art and Entertainment
Personally, this restructuring thing that the MMFF peeps did was indeed a risky move but I think it's worth it. Judging by how powerful and influential social media is these days, this #Reelvolution of MMFF could be our first real step toward our journey to an improving industry that produces high-caliber films.
As a MassComm graduate, I have always dreamed of the day when the masses would finally appreciate the beauty and quality of independent films. After all, art and entertainment do not always go hand in hand–an art film can be entertaining but an entertaining movie isn't always a work of art. Sometimes, moviemakers create films not because they have an interesting story to share, but because they want to make money out of their blockbuster films.
When I first heard about the MMFF restructure, my first thought was "finally!" For me, it's about time a film festival as big as the MMFF acknowledge the underdogs in the film industry. The mission of the organization, after all, is "to encourage the production of quality Filipino films," not to produce crowd-pleasers that the masses a.k.a. poor Filipinos are bound to enjoy.
Welcome Change: A Message to Big Production Companies
If there are a few things that big production companies can learn from this year's MMFF slate, these are: welcome change, fuck the formulas, and don't be afraid to take risks. If you have seen Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 2, you'll know what I mean.
Now, if the MMFF would continue to stick with this #Reelvolution trend and choose to curate films based on quality (subjective as it may seem), the only way big franchise films (like Enteng Kabisote, Shake, Rattle, and Roll, Mano Po, and Vice Ganda films) can make it to the slate is to adapt the new (reclaimed?) face of Philippine cinema that focuses more on top-grade films and less on commercial garbage.
All in all, my MMFF 2016 experience was definitely one to remember. I have to say that there's no better way to cap off a good year than to watch great local movies like the ones included in this festival. It was like binge-watching independent films at the Cinemalaya film fest. Only this time, I had to deal with annoying parents who had the guts to bring their kids inside the cinemas but did not have proper movie theater etiquette.

Gallery Statement:
Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980's) where every work submitted is exhibited.
The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the "mobblogers" around the globe. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of "Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.

Beatifiation is he last stage before sainthood, in the Roman Catholic Church.
John Paul II died only six years ago, and his rapid path to sainthood has drawn criticism from some who think it is being done to provide the Roman Catholic Church with a 'good news' story following years of damaging sexual abuse scandals.
The Italian police estimate there are up to one million people in Rome for the beatification event. Including thousands who have flocked in from the former Pope's native Poland.

These are so interesting to read. I'm joining the boring crowd though with mine...hehe. My dining room on an ordinary day. After snappin' some shots of my youngest daughter, I turned the camera on myself.
where are you in your avatar picture
Mine was just in my dining room
My daughter actually took my avatar picture when she was about three years old!
Mine is at Cape Disappointment in Ilawaco, Washington. I am actually in front of an old military bunker. The view was awesome.
on vacation in hamburg
mine was taken with Photo Booth on my Mac, my granddaughter and I spent an entire afternoon playing with the different photo effects as we took dozens and dozens of photos
My avatar is kind of a joke. It's a modified selfie I took last year. I'm an avid LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) player and with our kin, we had a forum set up for meetings, raids, events and general chat, so I needed an avatar for the site. I used my human head with the body of one of my hobbit game character, then added the starry background to it. So I call this avatar my bobble head!
I used to do a little modeling, and my avatar is a pic taken when I was modeling
I am in my living room, and my daughter took the picture.
Mine is a cropped version of my About.Me background photo, I created the background digitally using resources from the time I was a Deviant Art member, the pic is actually a self portrait. I used to do a lot of self-portraits for digital photo-illustration, it was easy because I had a camera with a remote control, but now that I need to use the timer it is awkward to just keep running away from my tripod
My avatar is a compilations of a few favorite snapshots of myself. I love my dreadlocks and I feel it is what really defines me, so I used the shots that I think they look the best in. One is from Halloween, one is from a camping trip I took with my husband, and the last is the night we finished my hair.
I have no idea! While going through pics of my mom to gather for her memorial service, I became aware of how many pics of her were taken in a field, even though I'd seen many of those pics before. That's her holding me when I was a little snippet of a girl. Always loved that pic.
In my Avatar we are in my kitchen and my daughter wanted a pic of her and her dad and I photo bombed it they did get one without me though so sad! LOL
Though the 'background' on my avatar is pretty much... well, my hair, I'm actually in a coffee shop playing with my iPod (probably playing Fish with Attitude). My best friend is an amateur photographer and takes pictures whenever the mood strikes her, and I guess she thought this moment was a perfect photo opportunity, so she took it! I didn't even know until I heard the iPhone shutter noise.
My photo is at a Yule celebration at my church several years ago when my now almost 6 year old was only 2 months old. Background is kinda boring because the focus was on my little one.
My one was before going to a party in Cartagena, Colombia.
I am with my husband in Branson, Mo. We try to get away for a weekend twice a year without any kids! We don't do the show circuit, but we love going to the shops and enjoying the beautiful nature areas.
Mine is at Castlefest, a big medieval festival in the Netherlands Lots of fun!!
My avatar was taken during a modeling session for my portfolio It was something I did on a whim, and never did again, lol.
Mine isn't anywhere exciting, but the pink teddybear with me has represented me in various scrapbooking forums and other online profiles for about 10 years now!
Mine was taken on an epic night out with my besties... love love love!!
Mine isn't of me, but it was taken by me. It's a flower in the Chicago Botanical Gardens the first time I was there with my now-hubby.
Took my avatar photo outside my condo - kind of in the middle of the woods so I always have a nice backdrop for pictures!
My husband and I were at a business called Lets Dish where you assemble freezer meals to eat later. I was very impressed by their long-handled scooper!
My background is not pretty at all, but the photo is a selfie taken in my bathroom a few years ago right after I had my hair highlighted at the beauty salon. The bathroom lighting was the best in my house at the time. It's the last picture of myself that I like so that is why I still use it.
Of course thats not me! I took that pic because I think I love fungi! The pic was taken in Costa Rica where I live.
I tried to use a pic of myself but for some reason when I tried it kept turning me upside down!
Mine was taken at Camp Cottaquilla, our local girl scout camp while our troop was camping (and I made the shirt the little one is wearing).
I'm standing in my backyard taking a snapshot of my dogs while my son's girlfriend holds their leashes, keeping Loki in line for the picture.
Mine was taken at Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC. I'm actually holding my son, who was a baby at the time, he's six now. It's one of the few pictures of me that I really like so I frequently use it as an avatar picture.
I'm at my brother's wedding.

Sweet, crazy, or hilarious—shenanigans on the dance floor will likely be some of your favorite wedding memories. These couples were lucky enough to have these moments captured on film and shared their stories with us.
Our editors devised a series of color palettes to help you plan your summer wedding. Click through the trios below to browse our style ideas and get inspired.
Ripe, juicy strawberries are the definitive summer fruit. We love the idea of pairing vibrant strawberry-red with crisp lime green for a picnicky color palette that feels fresh and cheerful. Lawn games, mint-sprigged drinks, and DIY dècor add loads of lighthearted charm to the backyard wedding we've created here.
We imagine this sophisticated color palette at a rooftop wedding with sleek white lounge furniture and sassy cocktails on offer at the Lucite bar. Stick to deep pinks (think rose, not bubblegum) and moody, wine-based purples. Bursts of bright green add just a dash of masculine energy. United by these colors, details like graphic invitations and minimalist centerpieces capture our vision of the perfect summer-in-the-city wedding.
This luscious color palette reminds us of summer's many culinary delights: sliced peaches, pink grapefruit sorbet, and sipping pink lemonade on a warm evening (preferably on a porch swing surrounded by fireflies). From juicy frozen fruit pops to cotton candy-colored bridesmaid dresses, here are some ways to use these sweet summer colors throughout your wedding.
Does anything sound more refreshing on a parched summer day than rum punch served over ice in a bright blue glass? Recreate that feeling for guests with a color palette that combines sunny yellow and orange with soothing aqua blue. We've found lots of ways to embrace this bold, preppy palette, from lush, vibrant bouquets to customizable tins of lemon candies. Browse our ideas and get inspired!
