Florida minimum wage rises after Floridians vote 'yes' on Amendment 2
by Zach Barrett
12:48 PM EST, Sun February 07, 2021
Florida residents let their ballots do the talking in November by voting "Yes" on increasing Florida's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026.
The current minimum wage in Florida is $8.65 an hour. A raise was implemented January 1st, 2021. It will continue rising $1 a year until reaching $15 an hour in 2026.
Fort Myers resident Victoria Garrett is a single mother of two young boys. She worked at a fast-food restaurant to make ends meet making $8.25 an hour in 2016. After renting out a single room in a home for three years because it was all she could afford with her salary, she believes it's time for a raise.
"People can't survive off $8.25 unless you have somebody else living with you or you rent a room but we want to be self-sustainable," said Garrett.
Like many other of her co-workers, Garrett had gaps in her work history making it incredibly difficult to get a job for anything other than minimum wage. Her biggest concern daily for three years was getting as many hours as she could to provide for her children.
"I didn't know what to do. I stressed, I cried, I prayed, I leaned on my church for food"
"I didn't know what to do. I stressed, I cried, I prayed, I leaned on my church for food," said Garrett.
The issue of minimum wage is once again on the national stage. President Joe Biden is pushing for a federal $15 dollar minimum wage as part of his COVID-19 relief plan.
Remains found in California identified as Florida man
President Biden also signed an Executive Order stating any contractors the government hired out would have to pay their employees a $15 minimum wage.
Tom Smythe, a Professor of Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University, said the president is trying to fast track a $15 federal minimum wage.
"He is taking all the steps he can that do not require congressional approval at this point," said Smythe. "If you go from the roughly $7.50 minimum wage to $15 per hour that's the real significance."
"It has the potential to drive those companies out of business."
Smythe said raising the minimum wage too quickly could decimate small businesses already reeling from the Pandemic.
"It has the potential to drive those companies out of business," said Smythe. "I just don't think most of it would be good if we did move that quickly."
The rising minimum wage could be an issue for small businesses, but to bigger corporations the $15 may be enough to cut out certain jobs altogether.
"What we're likely to see today is the introduction of technology to replace a lot of those human tasks we've seen in the past and it's already started," said Smythe.
Automation can be seen in the form of self-checkout machines at grocery stores, fast food restaurants, boat marinas, and even some gas stations.
The Racetrac gas station on Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers features three self-checkout stations.
A Racetrac spokesperson said the self-checkout machines were first implemented in 2018. The spokesperson says the goal isn't to replace workers, it's to get customers in and out as fast as possible. They say all new Racetrac locations will feature the self-checkout kiosks in the future.
For small mom-and-pop shops like Bridge Street Coffee in LaBelle, automation isn't in the equation, according to the coffee shop's owner, Charles Harris.
"You spend time here and it's more like hanging out in your friends' living room as opposed to going through the cattle shoot of some of the other places," said Harris.
The rising minimum wage will make it difficult to keep the coffee flowing initially but in the long run Harris said, but he believes more money in everyone's pocket can only help his business in the future.
"If more people working service jobs, working what are minimum wage jobs, can afford to live and I just survive, businesses like mine will be able to survive and be able to thrive more," said Harris.
While many businesses scramble to adapt, consumers and low wage workers sit in limbo waiting to see what unfolds.

L&I's Self-Insurance Section monitors the management of industrial insurance claims in Washington State. Provisions of vocational services apply to self-insurance claims, just as they do to L&I's workers' compensation claims. See the sections of WAC 296-19A (www.leg.wa.gov) for more information.
Because vocational providers receive referrals from the employer of injury or the third party administrator, vocational reports should go directly to the third party administrator, not to L&I.
Vocational consultants in the Self-Insurance Section are available to consult with vocational providers and other stakeholders, but the vocational providers' main contacts should be their own vocational supervisors and the employer/TPA claim manager.
The employer is then responsible for submitting specific reports to L&I.
Progress Reports and copies submitted to the claim manager should not be sent to the vocational consultants in the Self-Insurance Section.
Self-insured employers are not entitled to reimbursement for pre-job accommodation costs from L&I.
The professional consultation fee for job modification services is not reimbursable by L&I.
Job Modification Assistance application (F245‑346‑000).
Medical information from the attending physician regarding the need for the modification.
Proof of payment (may be in the form of a receipt, photocopy of a check or an invoice stamped "paid").
L&I does not pay money in advance.
Once the funds used for a Job Modification are spent, the purchaser (employer, vocational provider, ergonomic consulting firm, etc.) can request reimbursement on the Job Modification Assistance application (F245‑346‑000).
The fee schedule for vocational services and the qualifications required for providing vocational services are the same for both L&I's workers' compensation and self-insurance claims.

Delhi hospital official apologises to staff over controversial 'no Malayalam' circular
The nursing superintendent of GB Pant Hospital in New Delhi has apologised for issuing a controversial circular that barred nursing staff from speaking in Malayalam on duty, saying he had "no intention to disrespect any Indian language, region, or religion".

The hospital had withdrawn the circular, which asked the nursing staff to converse only in Hindi and English, on June 6, saying it was issued "without any instruction or knowledge of the hospital administration and the Delhi government".
In a letter to the medical director of the hospital on June 7, the nursing superintendent explained the reasons behind issuing the circular and said it was issued in "a positive sense and there was no bad intention against Malayalam-speaking staff".
"In fact, the circular was misinterpreted and I didn't even get a chance to explain the same," he said.

The official said he had acted on the basis of complaints received on May 31, June 1 and June 2.
"The gist of the complaint was that most of the staff communicates in regional language due to which other staff members as well as attendants of the patients feel helpless. It was requested to sort out the matter… Complainant clearly mentioned Malayalam language," the letter by the nursing superintendent read.
Earlier, too, patients and attendants had complained verbally to seniors about some staff members using their regional language, he said.

The patients would assume they had some serious health issues and that's why languages are changed to hide their condition. Hence, the circular was issued to "avoid any confusion due to language barrier", the nursing superintendent said.
"Even then, if feelings of any staff were hurt, I regret and offer an apology for the same," he said.
On June 7, the Delhi Health Department had issued a memo to Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research (GIPMER) in connection with the controversial circular.
A source said the health department had asked the hospital to "explain why such an order was issued".
An official of the G.B. Pant nurses' association said there are around 850 nurses working at the hospital and of them, around 400 are Malayali.

Washington, March 3 (RHC)-- Police chiefs from cities across the U.S. are resisting a move by the Donald Trump administration to enlist local police officers to help deport undocumented immigrants. The White House plan would also withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
In a joint letter sent to the U.S. Congress, 61 sheriffs and police chiefs wrote: "We can best serve our communities by leaving the enforcement of immigration laws to the federal government. Threatening the removal of valuable grant funding from jurisdictions that choose not to spend limited resources enforcing federal immigration law is extremely problematic."

Saint of the Day for June 5: St. Boniface (c. 675 – June 5, 754)
Daily Reading & Meditation: Wednesday (June)
Contrasting New Laws in Louisiana and Illinois Highlight States' Abortion Divide

Saint Boniface's Story – Boniface, known as the apostle of the Germans, was an English Benedictine monk who gave up being elected abbot to devote his life to the conversion of the Germanic tribes. Two characteristics stand out: his Christian orthodoxy and his fidelity to the pope of Rome.
How absolutely necessary this orthodoxy and fidelity were is borne out by the conditions Boniface found on his first missionary journey in 719 at the request of Pope Gregory II. Paganism was a way of life. What Christianity he did find had either lapsed into paganism or was mixed with error. The clergy were mainly responsible for these latter conditions since they were in many instances uneducated, lax and questionably obedient to their bishops. In particular instances their very ordinations were questionable.
These are the conditions that Boniface was to report in 722 on his first return visit to Rome. The Holy Father instructed him to reform the German Church. The pope sent letters of recommendation to religious and civil leaders. Boniface later admitted that his work would have been unsuccessful, from a human viewpoint, without a letter of safe-conduct from Charles Martel, the powerful Frankish ruler, grandfather of Charlemagne. Boniface was finally made a regional bishop and authorized to organize the whole German Church. He was eminently successful.
In the Frankish kingdom, he met great problems because of lay interference in bishops' elections, the worldliness of the clergy and lack of papal control.
During a final mission to the Frisians, Boniface and 53 companions were massacred while he was preparing converts for confirmation.
In order to restore the Germanic Church to its fidelity to Rome and to convert the pagans, Boniface had been guided by two principles. The first was to restore the obedience of the clergy to their bishops in union with the pope of Rome. The second was the establishment of many houses of prayer which took the form of Benedictine monasteries. A great number of Anglo-Saxon monks and nuns followed him to the continent, where he introduced the Benedictine nuns to the active apostolate of education.
Boniface bears out the Christian rule: To follow Christ is to follow the way of the cross. For Boniface, it was not only physical suffering or death, but the painful, thankless, bewildering task of Church reform. Missionary glory is often thought of in terms of bringing new persons to Christ. It seems—but is not—less glorious to heal the household of the faith.

Moving seamlessly from the global to the local, from the politics of institutions to the theoretical apparatus through which we analyse peace and security governance, the contributions to this volume draw attention to the operations of gendered power in peacebuilding across diverse contexts and explore the possibilities of gender-sensitive, sustainable peace. The authors have wide-ranging expertise in gendered analysis of the peacebuilding practices of international and national organisation, detailed and complex qualitative analysis of the gendered politics of peacebuilding in specific country contexts, and feminist analysis of the tools we use to think with when approaching contemporary debates about peacebuilding. The volume thus serves not only as a useful marker of the development of feminist encounters with peacebuilding but also as a foundation for future scholarship in this area.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Peacebuilding.

Children of Denial
January 4, 2009 March 9, 2009 / Elizabeth	/ 1 Comment
A few days ago, I had the nerve-wracking experience of having a lengthy discussion with my MtF girlfriend's mother about her transition. The whole thing started because Cupcake has been on hormones for several months, and is going to start presenting as female full time in about a week, but her mother has been expressing more and more disapproval about the whole thing, and we weren't sure whether she understood what was going on.
Naturally, this is an extremely difficult thing for parents to deal with. I don't expect her to just accept it, and I'm sure it will take a long time for her to come to terms with it. Even then, she likely will continue to have qualms about it. It's just the nature of the beast: this is such a hard, scary, weighty topic and mother-child relationships are so intense and important, how could she (someone with no experience whatsoever with trans issues) simply accept it, and that's that?
Still, it got me thinking about parents' reactions to their child coming out to them, especially how frequently they deny what's being told to them. One of my friends said that she had to come out to her mother as asexual at least three times already, and probably will have to do it again at some point, just because her mother didn't believe her (or remember?), probably thinking it was just a phase. My own parents are firmly convinced I'm a lesbian, not asexual. They also don't have any idea about M or Cupcake, and although it bothers me a little that when they learn about her, it will support their idea that I'm a lesbian, I don't really care enough to tell them about M. And even if I did, they likely wouldn't believe me anyway, or would find some way to dismiss it. It doesn't really matter, because I don't care what they think and it won't make a difference in the way they treat me anyway. Which I suppose is convenient, but is also just a result of asexuality (and similarly, bisexuality) being inherently invisible, even if people knew and accepted it as a legitimate orientation.
For Cupcake, it's very, very different. This is not just some invisible fact about her that only becomes a real issue within a relationship, and otherwise is just a mildly annoying social barrier at worst. Nor is it some issue with the partners she chooses, which can be a discreetly hidden family secret, or even kept from family completely. This goes right down to the very core of her identity. It is physical. Nobody who knows her, except apparently her mother, could possibly miss the changes she is undergoing. When she came out at work, nobody was surprised. I watched her tell someone she used to know (over the internet), and his response was just an, "Oh. That explains a lot."
It is interesting to me that her mother could claim that she never saw Cupcake as being feminine at all. One look at her room screams, "GIRL!" When she said that, I picked up one of her hands, painted with glittery purple nail polish and asked, "Is this feminine?" She seemed somewhat at a loss, grasping for an explanation. "Well, if you knew him growing up…"
I don't mean to be confrontational, but this is happening. Even if she missed it, even if it was carefully hidden from her, Cupcake is and has been trans, and even if she were to stop her transition and go back to presenting male all the time, she would still be trans–just hiding it. Her mother can't accept that this is true, says that there are other issues that she's blocking out, that her divorce and the issues that Cupcake has with her father caused her to want to "reinvent himself, and become a new person." ("It has nothing to do with that," Cupcake protested, "I knew I was trans when I was eight, and the divorce happened when I was twelve. How could it have been caused by the divorce if it happened prior to that?")
Cupcake had a response for every single thing that her mother brought up, but her mother wouldn't listen to any of it. She holds on firmly to her (largely ignorant, and willfully so) fears about the process, rather than letting those fears be assuaged. She clings to stereotypes to rationalize Cupcake's experiences away, just because it wasn't something she "knew" about her son from an early age. I echoed something that Venus of Willendork once posted about then, about how the stereotypical lesbian and gay experience has been repeated so often that there is now pressure on them to make their experiences fit with the mold, rather than speaking out about how it really was, for solidarity's sake or perhaps just so that people will believe them, and not think their orientation is a phase. Really, there is an even stronger pressure in the trans community due to the Standards of Care, and the requirement of having a therapist's approval in order to start HRT or get SRS, but I thought using an example from a different community would be slightly less confrontational. I hope it's something she will think about.
Really, it's entirely understandable that she would react this way. What mother would want to admit that she knew so little about her child's pain? Even at this stage, I'm not even certain the immensity of that pain has sunk in yet. For Cupcake, it's a choice between transition or suicide. If there were a magic pill that she could take that would make her cisgendered, she says she would take it (which, incidentally, highlights a very important difference betweeen transsexualism and asexuality, as the vast majority of asexuals are happy the way they are, and wouldn't dream of taking such a pill–it's societal pressure to be sexual that they want to change, not their own orientations). But there is no such pill, nor any other way to magically become cisgendered. Thus, she has decided (carefully, with full knowledge of how difficult it will be) to transition.
One other thing I wanted to mention (for my own personal reference really, as I am writing this post as much to note my own personal observations than for any other reason) is that she brought up something that Cupcake had already mentioned to me two months ago: the possibility that her depression would start (or had started) to go away since she had gotten into a relationship with me. What Cupcake had previously told me was that she had had some self-doubt about her transition, wondering if she had just been lonely, and that her trans issues would go away when she got into a relationship. This proved to be completely untrue, because even with me, she still has freak-outs about trans stuff, even though she is no longer lonely. Her mother seemed to have the same doubts, though neither one of us mentioned what had happened between us earlier (I wonder if perhaps we should have, but I certainly didn't want to bring it up without getting Cupcake's approval first). I wonder, personally, what it is about relationships that makes people think they are a magical panacea. I'm sure many of us have been told that we will start wanting to have sex once we're in a (committed romantic) relationship (with the right person), as if we are just too immature right now, and need someone to "awaken" our sexual desires. But I'm in a committed romantic relationship and I'm still asexual. And Cupcake is still trans.
There are certainly parallels between the way that parents react to asexuality and the way they react to transsexualism, although the latter is much more extreme in pretty much every way. This is one reason I think asexuals should have a place within the queer community, even though we face very little discrimination (if it can be called that at all), compared to the GLB's, and especially T's. There are plenty of differences in the issues that need to be addressed, and the danger of banding together is that one group will be so concerned about their own issues that they'll leave the others out, but there are still commonalities that allow different types of queer people to understand one another better, and parents having similar reactions is one of them.
The power of denial is certainly very strong, and it's something I've run into a lot, especially with relatives. But the discussion we had with her mother seems to have done some good. Cupcake says that since then, she's been super nice about everything, which is probably her way of apologizing. She seems to be thinking about everything we said, and although I expect it to take quite a bit more time, I have high hopes that she's on her way to acceptance.

It's interesting to me that an apparently disproportionate number of asexuals are also of non-traditional genders—whether that be transgender, bi-gender, agender, or otherwise gender neutral or deviant. Of course there are no real statistics out there about it yet, but I would really like to see a study done on asexuality and gender, probably more so than any other kind of asexuality-related study. I really want to learn more about what connection gender has to sexuality, because apparently they're connected. I wonder if that connection is more biological or socially constructed, however.
I have always found it strange that some of my cisgendered heterosexual friends have told me that being with someone of the opposite sex makes them feel like "more of a man/woman." I don't understand that sentiment, because I don't connect gender with sexuality at all. I suspect that, more than anything else, it has to do with people buying into heteronormativity, and feeling some kind of psychological reward for meeting social expectations which have been built into the identities they've constructed for themselves.
It seems that any person who goes against society's heterosexual agenda (Honestly, I don't think there is such a thing as that mythical "gay agenda," because gay people really aren't out to corrupt children and turn them gay, but there's certainly a very prevalent "straight agenda," because turning people straight is exactly what every person who would use the term "gay agenda" is trying to do.) tends to be much more likely to question gender norms as well. Well, why not? If you're already breaking the most important rule, what's a few more?
What's interesting to me is not so much which gender people claim as their identity, but how they do gender, that is how they present themselves to the world as a gendered (or genderless) person. It seems that asexual women tend to be less interested in dressing up and showing off their bodies. Why should we be, after all, if we are taught that the most important reason to do so is to attract a mate? Why should we want to appear sexually attractive, if we don't want to have sex?

It bears it out even to the edge of doom. Time can creates troubles, disturbances and obstacles. But love can stay beyond time. It can not be restricted by hours, weeks, months and years.
Comment on the treatment of the theme of Love and Time in the poem.
The poem "Marriage of True Minds" has been composed by William Shakespeare. In this poem the poet has described the theme of love, and time. According to the poet love is the theme of his poem. The poem is a sonnet. The poet has described the nature, the definition, the importance and the duration of love throughout the poem. The whole theme of the poem revoles round the discretion of love.
To him love is a union of two souls. Love is spiritual not physical. It is permanent. It is external. It is for life long, it is not for short period. It can not be controlled by time. Physical attraction and outer disturbances can not harm love, So the poet has very successfully made clear the theme of Love and Time in his poem. "The Marriage of True Minds".
How is the changelessness of love brought out in the first two quatrains ?
In the first two stanzas of the poem "The Marriage of True Minds", Willian Shakespeare has very successfully brought out the changelessness of love.

In the second stanza, the poet says that love is 'an ever-fixed mark'. It means true love is permanent. Love is like a pole star. A pole star is fixed at a particular place. It does not move from its permanent place. So, like pole star love has also no alterations. True love lasts for ever. It can not be changed.
What does the speaker declare in the final couplet ? What makes him do so?
The poet in the final (last) two lines wants to confirm what he has said about true love. He is confident that true love is eternal, unchangeable and permanent. It is a union of two hearts, not of two bodies. Love is spritual not physical.
The poet is so confident about his thought that he says that if my opinion about true love is wrong and if this is proved that 'I am wrong it means I never wrote such poem and it is also true that no man has ever loved' ' It means if the poet is wrong, the story of true love, the dictum of true love is also wrong and no man in future will tell the story of true love nor no man will be ever loved.

Spiritual love is eternal, It is permanent. It does not change with hours, weeks and months, Real love is not for short period. It is for life long. A true love is a sweet gift of nature. A real love is mixing up of two souls and minds in one. Love is an ever-fixed marks. It means true love is permanent. True love is like a pole-star. A pole star is fixed at a particular place. So, like pole-star spiritual love has also no alterations. It lasts for ever.

C. 3. Composition:
Question a.
Write a letter in about 150 words to your friend describing how your love for someone made you more determined to achieve something.
Naya Tola
DearRakesh,
I am quite well here along with the member of my family and hope that you will be the same. Today I am going to disclose a secret through this letter.
You know that since school-days I wanted to be a college-teacher. You often asked me about my inspiration. Today I tell you that my father was my inspiration. He wanted me to be a college-teacher.
As I loved him too much, after his death my sole aim was to be a college- teacher one day. My love to him to fulfill his wish made me more determined to achieve my goal. I worked heart and soul to achieve my goal. Though my father's death casually brought before me a lot of problems as to earn, to take care of a large family and to continue studies in crisis, yet my love to him worked as a guiding and an inspiring force. The more the problems came to me the more my love to my father increased and deepened and worked as an inspiring force. Thank God ! Ultimately I succeeded in achieving my goal.
Question b.
Write a paragraph in about 100 words on 'Love and Life'.
It is an old saying that 'Love is God and God is Love'. This saying has complete truth in it. Really without love life is nothing. As a child is bom, his family begins to love him. As he grows, the society begins to love him and so does he. As a youth, he loves his beloved. Later on as a husband, he begins to love his wife,children and his nation. This is a common thing. Besides it, a man loves other creatures and natural objects. The last stanza of Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' is its fine example. To quote :
"He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us, .
He made and loveth all."
Thus, we should love all the creatures of the earth. Without love life is hellish.

A personality is defined as a set of individual differences in behavior and physiology, which are consistent and stable over time (Cavigelli 2005, Groothius and Carere 2005), correlated (David et al. 2011), and repeatable (Wilson and Godin 2009).... We discuss the broader evolutionary and ecological implications of our findings and propose that changes in social status should be considered when investigating behavioral syndromes and the interplay between animal personality and behavioral plasticity.

Salvador Dali "Hidden faces"
Recently I read in Latvian language Catalonian artist, surrealist Salvador Dali single novel "Hidden faces" (2011). When you're interested in art and literature it's unavoidable, because like author himself says in the first sentence: "Every, earlier or later, fatally will face me."
Surrealism, it's me!
That's how Salvador Dali answered to journalist question how he explain this art way. There he was true. Dali was the most consequent surrealism creator both in his works – in painting, in graphic, in jewelry, in movies, in performances, and in his lifestyle.

Levine: Hendricks Continues To Be Dominant
Filed Under:Brewers, Chicago, Cubs, Greg Maddux, Kyle Hendricks, Milwaukee, Rickey Renteria, Ryan Bruan, Texas, Welington Castillo
CHICAGO, IL - AUGUST 12: Kyle Hendricks #28 of the Chicago Cubs pitches against the Milwaukee Brewers during the first inning on August 12, 2014 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by David Banks/Getty Images)Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. (David Banks/Getty Images)
By Bruce Levine-
(CBS) Maybe he shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as a 355-game winner, but Cubs rookie right-hander Kyle Hendricks is showing some of the same style that Greg Maddux did at an early part of his career. Hendricks has gone deep into games against some of the elite teams in the National League, moving his record to 4-1 with a 1.73 ERA after Chicago's 3-0 win against Milwaukee on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field.
Hendricks recorded his third straight quality start with 7 1/3 innings of shutout baseball against the first-place Brewers.
"He really knows what he is doing," Cubs catcher Welington Castillo said. "He knows how to slow things down and figure things out, even though he is really young."
Hendricks was acquired in the deal that sent Ryan Dempster to Texas two years ago, and he was Chicago's minor league pitcher of the year in 2013. Using a below-the-batter's-hitting-speed method of pitching has served Hendricks well against fastball-hitting clubs like Milwaukee.
"It has been movement and location," Hendricks said after Tuesday's game. "I have not thrown many pitches over the middle of the plate. I did make a couple of mistakes tonight, I got away with one to (Ryan) Braun right over the middle of the plate. I would say (there were) only three or four pitches I would want back. I just wanted to keep it on the corners with movement to keep getting quick outs."
Hendricks has gone seven or more innings in his last three starts and four of his last five. Buzzing troublesome hitters like Carlos Gomez helped establish his turf and a right to the inside of the plate Tuesday.
"He really has conviction as to what he wants to do," Cubs manager Rickey Renteria said. "There is no reason for him to panic or to have a sense of fear. He knows (when he is in a jam) how to go about getting out of a problem. Most people who have a plan of attack have a sense of calm about them."
Hendricks has been extremely difficult to score on, posting a 1.11 ERA over his last five starts (five earned runs in 40 2/3 innings). Similar to Maddux, he pitches fast and doesn't let the batter get too comfortable in the box.
"He may look young, but he knows what he wants to do and does not waste any time," Castillo said.

It's hard to imagine a world without Google. Gone are the days of arguing with friends over burning questions such as "do penguins have knees?" and "who was that person in that movie I can't remember from three years ago?". Now, one can Google it in a manner of seconds and have the manner resolved – or fall down the rabbit hole of search.
Google has gone from being a simple search engine to something so popular that the word "Google" is a verb used to describe searching the internet. Yet Google is so much more than that. It's created a wealth of new technology jobs including search engine optimisation (SEO) specialists, changed the way we work, transformed the way we collaborate, influenced the news and stories we read, made sure we never get lost via Google Maps, boosted the economy and so much more.
So, on Google's Birthday this September 27, let's look at its humble origins and how it's changed the world.
Google's story began with a chance meeting at Stanford University in 1995. Larry Page was considering attending the college for a grad school program, and Sergey Brin, a current student, was tasked with showing him around the campus. The pair state that they disagreed on everything they discussed in their first meeting, yet despite this, struck a partnership the following year. Much like the story of Mark Zuckerberg, Page and Brin worked from their dorm rooms to build a search engine that used links to determine the importance of individual website pages on the World Wide Web.
They called the project Backrub.
Google's rise can be attributed to their service orientated model and ability invest in ahead-of-the-curve technology. In 2004, they invested heavily in their Google Maps project, bought Android as part of their mobile strategy and purchased YouTube in 2006, which to this day is the internet's second largest search engine (next to Google).
Some of us might think that we have a cringeworthy search history, our eccentric ponderings have nothing on this bizarre and somewhat confusing collection.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT | Big Game TV Spot
SAUSAGE PARTY | Movie Review

Movies & Entertainment Reviews
"SAUSAGE PARTY | Movie Review"
SAUSAGE PARTY | © 2016 SONY
Fuck the Teletubbies! If there were ever an interpretation that clearly reads a drug-induced hallucination, SAUSAGE PARTY would be it. Love them, or hate them, the duo of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have been the masterminds behind some of Hollywood's top-notch, outrageous, unique, and hilarious comedies. You name it: SUPERBAD, PINAPPLE EXTRESS, THIS IS THE END, and THE (controversial) INTERVIEW. What's next? Well, now they've gone into the world of animation. SAUSAGE PARTY, the first R-rated CG animated comedy about a group of supermarket products on a quest to discover the truth about their existence and what it is that really happens once they've become chosen to leave the store.
It's that simple, ladies and gentleman. Not geared for kids, OR the easily offended, this party is unique, rude, fun, crude, witty, beyond over-the-top, and definitely humorous on levels one cannot imagine! SAUSAGE PARTY unleashes a star-studded voice cast led by Seth Rogen (Frank) and Kristen Wigg (Brenda), and the best thing about this entire ordeal of literal balls-out-comedy is it doesn't pander to the latest wussification of America's overkilled PC standards. That said, no one is spared any kind of ridicule. Not even Stephen Hawking. Humorously, of course. There's a line between abuse and jokes and I'd like to image we're all smart nough to read between the lines.
For decades we've been exposed to the old-school tradition in animated flicks about the secret life of things around us. We've seen cars, planes, animals, toys, etc. We love them all. They're touchy and open as they allow us to actually live through the lives of these beings. What's it like to be them in a non-human POV. However, what's never really been exposed is a realm of sadistic comedy. One that holds back on nothing. SAUSAGE PARTY delivers it among the secret life of food and their perspective among simultaneous existences – from sociopolitical stereotypes between a bagel (Ed Norton) and Arabic Flatbread (David Krumholtz) who constantly bicker about invasive occurrences in shopping aisles, to a diminutive sausage (Michael Cera) who ponders about his girth and if it really matters more than length.
The overall scope goes beyond as the story's moral exposes us, the attitude we have towards one another and/or our self-proclaimed flaws, blindly following organized religion, and our horrific ways of treating food. No, seriously. It's all jammed into one and that's part of the fun. Sure, there's an overuse of the word 'fuck', lots of sexual tension and/or orientation gags, and cultural clashes… But it's Seth Rogen & Co. Should we expect any less? The only downfall for this would be to tell your kids this IS a cartoon, but it's not meant for them. Screw them! These little fuck trophies have it really good year after year. It's mommy's and daddy's turn to enjoy toons to their tunes.
Overall, it's bizarrely beautiful. Most definitely one of the year's unique and quite frankly best in my opinion.
