Flower Power: Lily's Genetic Arsenal Against Devastating Fungus

A pivotal study has uncovered a genetic defense mechanism in lily plants against Botrytis cinerea, the fungus behind gray mold disease. Central to this defense is LlHSFA4, a transcription factor that, when activated, initiates a robust response against the pathogen. This discovery could transform strategies for protecting horticultural crops from severe fungal infections.

Raise the Roof: How to Reduce Badminton Birdie Drift

The airflow from an indoor badminton court's HVAC system and cross ventilation can affect the path of a birdie and have a significant role in play, but research published in Physics of Fluids proposes that different roof configurations could help mitigate wind drift. The authors recommend that important badminton games be played on courts with a barrel roof and a ventilation opening. The team modeled the airflow in a barrel roof stadium with different ventilation opening directions and tested this against a simulation of a flat roof to understand the roof effects.

Grabbing Pizza with Coworkers Isn't Just Fun -- It Could Boost Your Teamwork Skills

Forming memories around shared experiences, whether something fun like grabbing a pizza or as emotionally straining as an employee strike, has a way of binding people together.

Отлично иллюстрирует известную тенденцию,
левые и правые поменялись местами, позиции,
которые в 1960-1990-х были монополией левых,
стали монополией правых, и наоборот.
Сам гражданин совершенно левый и по анамнезу,
и по фенотипу, и по большинству позиций, дичайше
ненавидит Трампа (в том числе и за то, что Трамп
проплатил разработку "вакцин"), но по
большинству тем сливается воедино с "правыми",
не потому, что он "правый", а потому, что
"левые" отбросили эти позиции, а "правые"
подхватили.

How Nick Offerman and a Greeting Card Company Trolled All Of CES


CES is one of the biggest tech events of the year. It’s when everyone convinces you that you need to buy a terrifying robot Einstein for some reason.

But Nick Offerman aka Ron Swanson and American Greetings — yeah, the greeting card company — trolled all of them.

Promising “a device like none other,” Offerman and America Greetings delivered just that. Offerman took to the stage to present… a regular greeting card that looks like:



via Mashable

Offerman, who was there to present the product had this to say:

"When I started dating my wife — her name is Megan Mullally, she's a very beautiful actress and singer and goddess — she and I loved giving each other cards," he told a crowd at the press event. "It's a very important part of our relationship, and so we've continued that practice.

"Even though there are times when it's more appropriate, of course, to send a text or an email ... when you really want to get a sentiment across, there's nothing like the artifact of the handwritten card.

D'awwww... now go buy one for you mother or something.

Boss gets fed up with neighboring store's customers parking in his lot, he places boulders between the stores to block them, leading to a dispute with next-door owner: ‘A solid solution’

Even though cars are one of the most valuable inventions humans have ever come up with, they are also one of the things that enrage people the most. Gas prices, traffic, and parking are just broad examples of the kinds of rage that sitting in a car can cause a person. With that rage, a lot of feuds between people arise.

If you think that parking pettiness is only an issue where one lives, then you will be surprised by this story. OP (original poster) is working in a store, and their boss has been feuding with the next-door store owner for years. Their latest feud was about, you guessed it, parking. The stores' adjacent parking lots caused the two to fight about who gets to park where, until OP's boss decided to take action and put a stop to people parking where they should. He installed cameras, put up boulders, and even hired a parking management company to get his neighbor to stop parking in his lot.

After years of carrying the company on his back, employee reaches breaking point when his boss informs him he needs more ‘coaching’: ‘Do you even know how to do the work?’

It seems like the higher you climb in the corporate world, the less work you actually do. Otherwise, how can you explain that every CEO in the world seems to do absolutely nothing in their own company? They come to the office twice a week at best, wander around for an hour, have a meeting or two with the people who actually have work, and then go home.

What is even more annoying, is that those types of bosses have no appreciation for the people beneath them, who work extremely hard to keep the company going, like the employee who wrote this Reddit story. OP (original poster), is the only employee left in the company who didn't give up on their CEO. He has watched everyone else quit, and yet he stayed to make sure someone in the company actually does any of the work. That was until his hopeless boss told OP he needed more 'coaching' from him, which made OP understand just how much his boss cares about his company.

New hire gets fired 10 minutes into their shift after boss claims they were ‘not being proactive’, coworker reveals it was not the first time this happened: ‘I was the 4th person they hired’

Everyone remembers their first real job, the place that kickstarted their career and made them who they are today. And since everyone remembers that experience, no matter how much time passed, it shouldn't be hard to be nice to those who are just starting out.

If every boss would recall their first week at their job, they would remember how stressful it is to prove themselves, and they would remember how important it is to have the right guidance, to have someone who can train you and help you get the ropes of the job on those first days. 

However, instead of providing that guidance to new hires, bosses insist on doing the exact opposite, while some go as far as firing people if they don't show the right 'initiative' on their first days. Much like the boss in this Reddit story, who fired their new hire 10 minutes into the shift simply because they thought it would be wise to wait for instructions, and not act on their own.
