______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n A company in Japan is giving its non-smoking employees an extra six days of vacation per year to compensate for smoking employees\u2019 cigarette breaks. The Tokyo-based marketing firm Piala Inc. introduced the perk after employees complained that they were working more hours than staff who took regular smoke breaks. The company\u2019s office is located on the 29th floor of a building, and resentment grew among non-smoking employees because smoking is only allowed on basement level, making each break last about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n “The Invisible Man”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>made $29 million this past weekend, which was enough to cruise to a box office win in its first week.\u00a0\u00a0“Sonic the Hedgehog”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>made another $16 million, but dropped to #2 in its third week out.<\/p>\n _________________________________________________<\/p>\n ABC is opening up the playing field of love to senior citizens.

Just 20 percent of owners felt their pet had not exhibited signs of remembering things.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Researchers say that more than half of the memories described events that occurred once “suggesting the recall of temporarily specific events.”<\/p>\n \u00a0___________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n MONDAY MARCH 2ND<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [58] Jon Bon Jovi, singer<\/p>\n [52] Daniel Craig, actor (\u201cSkyfall\u201d, \u201cCasino Royale\u201d) COMING UP\u2026\u201dNo Time to Die\u201d, 2020<\/p>\n [39] Bryce Dallas Howard, actress (\u201cJurassic World\u201d, \u201cThe Help\u201d)\/daughter of actor\/director Ron Howard.

Can’t you just do what you get paid to do???? Why why why does it have to involve politics!!! So sad. We don’t pay good money for anything other than to watch you perform. Thought you were different.”<\/p>\n Of course, the hilarious part is that politics was never intended to make its way into the performance in the first place! Plenty more angry and confused voters also took to social media to express their opinions.<\/p>\n The story only became funnier when\u00a0Barry Sanders<\/strong>\u00a0got involved in the hilarium, tweeting, “Hey @garthbrooks, want to be my VP?” with a hashtag, “#Number20for2020”.
