New Foods to Try in Japan
I thought that I had a pretty advanced palate before my first trip to Japan. We went to visit my brother, who lives and works in Japan teaching English at a primary school.
I'm not 100% sure if what I ate in Japan was "normal" or just my brother playing tricks on me. I felt like I was in a mashup of two Food Network shows: Bizarre Foods and The Best Thing I Ever Ate. I tried foods like dried lightning squid (and fresh too), snake sake, and tiny dry roasted crabs. This is the same brother that told his in-laws when they were visiting the U.S. for the first time that it's customary to eat frozen pizza every day for breakfast. So who knows?
Traveling to Japan helped me expand my food horizons, and here are some safe bets for new food and drinks to try.
Must-Try Food in Japan
Dango is a popular street vendor and festival offering. It consists of variations of small rice flour dumplings. Although I hope to try more types of dango on my next trip to Japan, I can personally recommend yaki dango, a savory grilled dango with a hint of sweet, served on a skewer. I was a little wary of the grilled bay scallop on a skewer appearance (mostly because my brother wouldn't tell me what it was), but I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. It had a chewy consistency and was a very filling snack.
We visited during Sakura viewing season and were served hanami dango, which is traditionally served for the cherry blossom season. These are delicately sweet pink, white, and green dango that make a perfect dessert with a cup of coffee.
Katsudon is a kid-friendly dish consisting of a bowl of rice topped with a thinly sliced Panko breaded pork cutlet, fried egg and vegetables. If you are traveling with picky eaters, this is a universally-liked dish with very mild flavors. When I was feeling overwhelmed with the unfamiliarity of Japanese cuisine, this was my go-to menu selection. The rice is just amazing.

Okonomiyaki has been likened to a Japanese pizza. This was the first food that I ever ate in Japan after a 10-hour red eye flight, and it was the best thing ever.
Restaurants that specialize in this dish have tables equipped with a griddle or a smaller version of a Teppanyaki grill in the center. Your server will bring you bowls of ingredients and a squeeze bottle of the batter to make the dish yourself. You place the veggies and meat on the grill, and then cover it with the batter. The end result is a crispy, fluffy, pancake-like dish that you can top with different sauces and bonito (dried seasoned fish).
Conveyor Belt Sushi
I'm pretty sure that sushi is on everyone's Japan must-try list, but conveyor belt sushi is a pretty cool novelty and is inexpensive too. Order off the menu and your sushi is delivered to your table via the conveyor belt that conveniently passes by. At the end of the meal, the plates all have barcodes on them and your server tallies up what you ordered by scanning the stack. Make sure try a traditional sushi restaurant and a conveyor belt establishment just to cover all of your bases.
Japanese Beer
An Asahi or Kirin in the U.S. is just not the same as the domestically brewed versions in Japan. We tried several domestic beers on our trip (for research purposes, of course). My husband and I agreed that we liked Yebisu best.
While in Minato, we visited the Yebisu beer museum, a sophisticated establishment where we received a crash course on the history of beer production in Japan. We learned that although beer may have been a common working class beverage for Americans of the 19th century, beer in Japan was a luxury, only consumed by the very wealthy.
The museum houses meticulously preserved Yebisu promotional materials and period art throughout the company's rich history. The tour is conducted in Japanese, with no English translation, but we enjoyed checking out the art installment, which did have English descriptions.
At the end of the tour, we sampled varieties of the company's flagship beers and toasted our fellow tour mates with "Kanpai" which means cheers or bottoms up. And here is my most utilized of my few memorized phrases for getting along in Japan: how to order a beer, "Bīru o onegaishimasu."
While in Toyko, I recommend Hilton Tokyo, which is centrally located to the rail system, shopping, and many restaurants for you to try out some adventurous new foods.

"God does not forbid sexual sin because he's a killjoy, but because he opposes what kills joy." John Piper
Sex is a gift from God that when used in the context of monogamous marriage, can bring joy and intimacy between a husband and wife. God's design for healthy sexuality excludes anything that deviates from marital sex between one man and one woman. I would argue that as pleasurable as sexual acts can be (whether obtained through a dating relationship, one night stand, casual fling with a friend, homosexuality, consuming pornography, or engaging in masturbation), when taken out of their proper context (the only context that God blesses, approves of, and encourages - see First Corinthians 7) will result in nothing good. It will destroy our relationship with God, remove our desire to be close to Him, steal our joy, and make us miserable. Oh, it will be great for a time. Similar to the fun having a credit card can bring because of the instant access to what you desire...yet just like using credit cards can incur debt, you also must pay them back with interest. So it is with anything that deviates from God's plan of healthy sexuality as described in His word. Payday will come and it will most likely cost you more than you initially thought.
"God's rules make a lot of sense. They aren't harsh or inconsiderate of our needs, and by following them the quality of our lives can be greatly improved. When God is not honored as God and we divert our worship to anything or anyone else, misery results." Mary Hunt
We must cut off all sources which feed our addictions. Otherwise they will continue.
What is your particular stronghold? What do you find yourself returning to time and again? Do you fear consequences or just assume it won't happen to you? Always remember that living according to God's word will guard us from the unpleasant consequences of bad choices. Anything that causes us to stray from God, His word, and His people must be eliminated from our lives to the best of our ability.
Gaining freedom entails many steps. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to break free from destructive choices or will you carry on in being halfhearted toward God, distant from your responsibilities and relationships, and taking the risk with each new indulgence to bring on unforeseen consequences?
Ask God to show you what you need to start doing and what you need to stop doing. Ask for His wisdom and guidance with implementing new routines and the know-how to go about it.
Don't fall for the lie that you are the only one battling addiction or living in secret sin. If you haven't admitted your sin to others, odds are they haven't told you ways they're struggling either. It's so easy to put ourselves down, beat ourselves up, and walk around in a depressing haze as we see other people who appear to have everything together and act so pure. You don't know what they have struggled with throughout their life, nor what keeps them awake at night with the fear of never breaking free. I have known people who have confessed secret sin, distorted attractions, and bad habits to me that if those words were left unsaid, I would have no idea those were issues in their lives. So please, dear ones, reach out for help. You can even write to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com to share your story, unload burdens, and seek help. I look back on the last 20 something years of my life and feel like I have committed sin of so many sorts and tried this or been in bondage to that, so I am certainly not one to judge others for how they are living. If anything, I have compassion on people and will offer advice through the lessons I have learned and consequences I have suffered as to equip you to deal with your strongholds and avoid bad choices. I understand that with any sin (aside from each of us being born with a sinful nature), there are always underlying causes which led to it and reasons why it currently remains.
"Sin thrives in secret." Unknown
"God is merciful to reveal/expose our sin. God is merciful to use us in spite of our sin." Nancy Leigh DeMoss
By the way, watch the VeggieTales episode, "The Fib from Outer Space". It has such a good lesson on how sin grows and what it could lead to if we don't take care of it when it is small.
If internet pornography is a temptation for you, sign up for the Covenant Eyes accountability report and filtering service. It will block inappropriate content and send a report of the web sites you have visited (or clicked on) and keywords you have searched for to the person or people of your choosing. This is a wise and simple way of being held accountable. By signing up with my affiliate code, you will get the first month free. Although using filtering software won't cure you of your porn addiction, it is a wise first step in making its accessibility less of a problem. I highly exhort you to check out resources by xxxchurch and read E-Books by Covenant Eyes. Studying such material has done wonders in my own pursuit of purity!
We need to BEG God to bring us to the end of ourselves, to show us the depravity of our sinful hearts, our need for genuine repentance, to give us a healthy fear of God, the diligence to pursue purity with all our heart, and a disdain for displeasing our Savior. Please don't wait around until you feel like repenting, because that day might never be here.
Sin blinds people and fools us into thinking that a one night stand with several partners is better than surrendering your sex life to God and pleading for His refining work on your heart as He prepares you for your future spouse and your future spouse for you. Many examples can be listed here. The point being that the combination of a sinful & selfish heart, pride & lack of patience, and willful stubbornness to get our way no matter the cost will only lead to consequences. We do not know what is best for us. We think we do a lot of the time, but we don't. God's rules are for our protection, safety, and long-term benefit. They aren't a prison cell which keeps us from being liberated, but a fortress wall that is meant to keep evil out.
Read Psalm 62: 8 and follow its wisdom. We must be honest with God in prayer. It's perfectly fine to admit to Him how much you love your sin and if you were to tell the truth, you often don't want to repent. Ask God to enable you to see sin through His eyes and to help you make a schedule of reading His word every day without fail, thus renewing your mind (Romans 12: 2).
Sample prayer: "God, change me as only You are able. Surround me with the right people and bring along the right circumstances to further Your work of sanctification on my heart. Act on my behalf. Intervene in ways needed. Purge and refine me. Don't allow me to destroy myself by continuing on the same path I've been on."
Please take it from me: Sin is not worth it. I understand how immensely pleasurable it is. I really do. But the consequences are not worth it. When reality hits and we are facing the repercussions of our bad choices, we will cringe in regret as we look back and see how fleeting the pleasures actually were (even if we experienced pleasure daily or hourly). Don't think consequences only happen to other people and won't happen to you. Read Galatians 6: 7. God's word assures us of His forgiveness made possible through the sacrifice Christ made on behalf of sinners (us all!). Read First John 1: 9. The Bible also makes it clear that God is not mocked and we shall reap what we sow.
Sin takes so much more from us than the pleasure it gives. It can cost you intimacy with God, may be the end to relationships with those closest to you, or even lead to death within time. For example, Herpes is incurable and AIDS is terminal. Is it really worth contracting one or both of these all for the sake of sex? No. Drug use and alcohol consumption can ruin your health, harm your brain, and bring along many foolish and illogical decisions. Being under the influence of anything which prevents us from being in our right frame of mind is dangerous. The use of pornography can lead to erectile dysfunction and the inability to become/stay aroused or get off when experiencing a real sexual encounter. Not to mention flooding our minds with lies and desensitizing us to the harmful ideas porn spreads through the very fabric of society; whether that be in commercials or casual sex being indulged in on any given show on television. It's pretty crazy how everyone speaks so highly of sin, yet hardly anyone speaks of the heartbreaking effects of sin and how it has the potential to ruin us on every level.
Please, please, please seek help. Don't let your sin continue to thrive in secret. Bring it to light. Confess it to trusted mentors and mature individuals. You may even write to me at: email@example.com
"...abiding in Christ means allowing His Word to fill our minds, direct our wills, and transform our affections." Sinclair Ferguson
"No large growth in holiness was ever gained by one who did not take time to be often long alone with God." Austin Phelps
"The battle for holiness is a battle to be fought mainly by fueling the fires of our passion for Christ." John Piper
"The heart is made for God, and...nothing else will drive out the suitors of sin but the happiness of knowing our true Husband." John Piper
"Loving God is being so satisfied in God and so delighted in all that He is for us that His commandments cease to be burdensome." John Piper

The best part of the experience at this property was the staff members. In particular, Mike checked us in and was friendly, professional, and very understanding and helpful in accommodating our room request. We enjoyed a spectacular view of the waterfront, boats, and bridges from our 5th floor room! The valet greeted us warmly when we first arrived and encouraged us to enjoy our stay, and Craig the bartender was friendly, funny, and attentive. The lobby of the hotel is clean, spacious and bright. Our room was also clean and comfortable. This hotel is great if you want to enjoy waterfront and Old City sites and activities.
The only negative item was the bed pillows. Although the mattress was comfortable, the pillows were like boulders-very hard. I realize that items like this are a matter of personal preference and some people may like harder pillows, but it was challenging for me to get comfortable.

Your Story, On the Big Screen
According to a Microsoft Digital Trends report, nearly 50% of consumers are more likely to engage with digital experiences that offer seamless integration with their physical world. When you eliminate the friction points between digital and physical experiences, a 'phygital' approach gives you the power to redefine on-site engagement that combines consumer needs and business objectives simultaneously. Starring… your brand.
The increasing trends toward immersive technologies, IoT devices, and high tech screens like 4k have ignited this shift in how consumers expect their digital and physical worlds to blend. Digital is explorative, connective, personalized, socialized. Physical is wow me, include me, inform me, show me. So when you combine these facets, you're almost creating a 3rd dimension that enables you to leverage the best of both worlds.
Act I : Opening Scene
A guest's impression of a hotel is formed in the first 10 minutes of arrival. Regardless of your industry or why your consumers are at your venue in the first place, this rings true across all verticals. Visitors to an event show floor, or executive briefing center, or building lobby, all form opinions the second they step foot into your physical space (this rings true for virtual space too). Building a phygital experience helps you hit main KPIs that impact your customer's first and last impressions.
It's important to set your first impressions with well-crafted, visually appealing, meaningful experiences. Is it a greeter? Is it a welcome sign? Is it tabletop mints? Better yet, is it a digital greeter, a digital welcome message straight to your phone, is it a phygital installation that blends together multiple facets? These small elements factor into one big environmental experience that can be optimized through powerful integrations with cloud technology, mobile apps, and the tremendous amounts of data that can be pushed and pulled through these mediums.
Act II : Credits
Let's take a few datapoints and extrapolate ways to convert other industry experiences into actionable insights.
Theater : Impress
Datapoint 1 in 5 people are persuaded enough by digital signage to purchase the advertised product.
Conversion Highly emotive visual displays capture the attentions and potentially activate viewers into consumers. Where walls, and plaques and printed signs remain static and can get stagnant over time, digital walls can be constantly updated with new designs and diversified content to keep your brand looking fresh and modern.
Education : Communicate
Datapoint 73% of educational institutions see digital signage as crucial for the future of communication.
Conversion Crafting and delivering the right message at the right time is a key driver of meaningful experiences. Our world is 'smarter', so naturally people are more interested in content that is automatically filtered to their industry or preferences. With digital installations, you can custom-tailor content feeds to match your daily or weekly audience. Even more, with data pulled from integrated software like your enterprise mobile app, you can automatically trigger content that matches your customer's app profile.
Food & Beverage : Inform
Datapoint 74% of customers say an easy to read menu is their top priority.
Conversion Let's for a second take 'menu' to mean daily agenda or events queue. In this way, surfacing daily or weekly information on a 'top of mind' screen increases clarity, expectations, and planning for all viewers. Your venue or EBC is a showcase for your team, products, and services, so the visual display in a phygital experience can help increase bottom-line results by building muscle memory with your brand.
Healthcare : Appeal
Datapoint Healthcare systems indicate digital signage can cut perceived wait time by up to 35%.
Conversion You may not intend for your customers to wait or have to wait for long, but even the smallest increments can be mitigated with phygital experiences that draw the viewer in. Whether it's informative or entertainment based, a digital installation that brings viewers into the physical experience before the in-person experience even begins is a step in the right direction. With valuable customer information and mobile app data on hand you can showcase customized, personalized, remote greetings for visitors.
Health & Fitness : Entertain
Datapoint Fitness clubs say digital signs keep customers on-site longer.
Conversion Digital installations help define the atmosphere as patrons enter your space. Stimulate diverse interests and topics with client spotlights, tips and tricks, and case studies that will grab attention and hold interest. Phygital experiences can even be designed through a social lens through integration with streaming content from top networks like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram which fosters a sense of community akin to health and fitness club member circles.
Retail : Sell
Datapoint Retail companies that engage with consumers through a variety of channels drive three times the volume of sales.
Conversion Unique and custom experiences make your brand a centralized hub for information, social, real-time data, and news. Consumers expect technology to serve and anticipate needs, but when you're creating in the moment phygital experiences that are mindful, responsive, and have a human-touch, you're creating more meaningful on-site, in-person experiences that they will remember and take with them beyond the doors of your site or venue.
Act III : Your Industry, Your Story
These phygital experiences can be as small or as big as you dream them. They can be data-driven, socially-inclusive, geo-targeted, content-streaming, promotionally-relevant, digital installations that blend into your physical worlds. Brands can leverage these 21st-century technologies to tell their story on the 'big screen'.
Just like any good story or good movie, the story exists beyond a single theater. It is projected on many screens in many locations. Technology that drives phygital experiences allow you to tell your story in multiple places and multiple ways. You can go with a backwards approach and stream it back onto a webpage to double-down on digital, you can pipe your multi-media approach to different screen configurations in different rooms within your venue, you can mirror the same content in remote locations across the globe, and you can even pack it up and take it on the road with you. Your story is an extension of your imagination and brought to life with thoughtful and creative digital installations.

Donald Campbell's iconic Bluebird K7 hydroplane is due to arrive on Bute today (Friday) for a series of tests at Loch Fad.
The Bluebird team is expected to arrive at 6.20pm on the 5.45pm ferry from Wemyss Bay, to a welcome ceremony which will include Rothesay Pipe Band and local children. Some of the Bluebird team will be wearing pink as a respectful gesture, not only to Alesha MacPhail's family (and worn with the family's consent) but also as a tribute to the island at this sad and difficult time.
It has taken 17 painstaking years and a small army of dedicated volunteers to restore Bluebird to her former glory. From August 4-10 and 13-16, this iconic craft will be undertaking crew training at Loch Fad, as Bluebird's team work out how best to handle a craft which can reach speeds of up to 276 miles per hour.
Its appearance is expected to attract many visitors to the island.
Bill Smith, the project leader, said: "Loch Fad is perfect for this crew-training exercise.
"It's just long enough for Bluebird to get moving and just deep enough that it won't be too difficult for divers to retrieve any dropped tools!
"It's pretty exciting for us right now because we've just ground-tested Bluebird and all her systems are running beautifully.
"When she's put in the water at Loch Fad this week, it will be the first time in 50 years that Bluebird's engine will be started while afloat."
It's been over half a century since Donald Campbell became the only person to hold both the world land and water speed records simultaneously, the latter set in his jet-engined hydroplane, Bluebird K7, which crashed tragically on Coniston Water on January 4, 1967.
As well as the training days at Loch Fad, Bluebird will appear at Bute Highland Games on August 11 and at Mount Stuart House on August 12, 12-4pm, with some of the team on hand to answer questions on both days.

About Dubai (DXB)
Dubai will lead you into a historical sojourn like no other place in the world. The primary history of this city's establishment is not that well documented; however, research suggests that this land is close to 4,000 years old. Modern Dubai has evolved from fishing populations, which existed along the coast of the Arabian Gulf during the 1830s. The Dubai Creek was an ancient port of trade, very busy during times of trade between Indus Valley and Mesopotamian civilizations. The historic finds that give us insight into this ancient city lie preserved as artefacts in the archaeological section of the Dubai Museum.
Dubai is the second largest emirate among the seven that exist as the United Arab Emirates. It is located on the southern shore of the Gulf. The city is known to house one of the world's most curated experiences. A bustling metropolitan steeped in culture and tradition, Dubai is the epitome of the amalgamation of western luxury and mid-western morals. The region is characterized under "desert vegetation" for a reason, for the temperature here remains high all year long. Dubai enjoys a sub-tropical, arid climate. Large populations of expats live here, including Arab, Asians, and European.
How to reach Dubai
By Air – The main airport in Dubai is the Dubai International Airport. All major airlines fly to this airport on a daily basis. Emirates Airlines is the preferable and national carrier that operates flights to Dubai. The Sharjah International Airport is another important node here, although only a few airlines land and take off from there. A taxi ride from the airport to the main city costs about 50 Dirham.
By Bus – Daily buses connect Dubai to the other emirates. The Emirates Express plies on a frequented route from everywhere in the Emirates, including Sharjah, Ajman, Masafi, and Abu Dhabi.

Assessing Temperament as a Predictor of Oral Sedation Success Using the Children's Behavior Questionnaire Short Form
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether temperament, as measured by the Children's Behavior Questionnaire Short Form (CBQ-SF), was associated with success in oral sedation. Methods: Child-caregiver dyads were enrolled from patients presenting for midazolam, meperidine, and hydroxyzine oral sedation. Children between 36 and 95 months of age, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification I or II, with diagnostic radiographs, whose parents believed he/she would swallow oral medications, were enrolled. To assess child temperament, caregivers completed the CBQ-SF. Behavior during sedation and overall sedation results were recorded using the Houpt Behavior Rating Scale. Failure was defined by Houpt overall ratings of fair or worse. The presence of disruptive behavior was also quantified. Results: The sample population consisted of 61 patient-caregiver dyads. The overall sedation success rate was 87 percent (N equals 53). Disruptive behavior was present during 28 percent (N equals 17) of total cases. There was not a significant difference in failure rate or presence of disruptive behavior by age, sex, ASA status, insurance status, reason for sedation, or type of treatment provided. High impulsivity scores were significantly associated with disruptive behavior (P=.04). Conclusions: Impulsivity may be a determinant of a child's behavior during sedation.

Ukraine, 18 June 2007: Ukraine is planning to launch a Sich-2 Earth remote sensing satellite into orbit in 2008, the National Space Agency said. The Sich-2 project is being developed by Ukraine's Yuzhnoye design bureau with an estimated cost of $20 million.
The development of a "Sich"-based Earth observation system and a crisis-proof space monitoring system is part of The National Space Program of Ukraine for 2007-2011, the agency said.
The spacecraft will be launched on board a Russian-Ukrainian Dnepr carrier rocket from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan.
The launch services will be provided by Kosmotras, a Russian-Ukrainian joint venture, which converts RS-20 (SS-18 Satan) intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), scrapped by Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, into Dnepr launch vehicles.
Ukraine launched its first earth remote sensing satellite, Sich- 1, in 1995, and its modernized version, Sich-1M, in 2004.

One of the biggest challenges facing HR departments today is the talent shortage. This is where we need to ask ourselves, are we really doing all it takes to ensure superior company performance? Bringing the right people on board is never easy, especially when they're hard to find. All the efforts that you can make to beat the talent shortage, begins with recruiting. Follow these simple tips to help you beat the talent shortage!
Inspire Your Employees
Your employees are your most important asset. This is why you must be attentive to what drives and motivates your employees. If you wish to reduce turnover and engage your employees, then you must inspire them. Considering how talented employees can be hard to find, is crucially important to hold on to the talent that you already have in the workplace. Don't take your talented employees for granted; this is why you should constantly invest in training them and keeping them happy.
Provide the Necessary Training
You can't expect your new hires to develop new skills and grow on their own. Your new employees need mentoring and career guidance. For these reasons its essentially important to provide the necessary training that will help them develop their skills. In order to cultivate and retain your talented employees, you have to provide a great onboarding process and ongoing training. It goes without saying that all your employees are eager to succeed, which is why you should show them that there are avenues of progression in your workplace.
Work on Your Talent Pipeline
If you aim to attract new talent, then you're going to have to work on building an exquisite talent pipeline. If you aim to reach out to skillful and talented candidates, then you have to provide a valuable candidate experience. This can easily be done by streamlining your candidates across various sources, creating a structured interview process, collaborating with your team, and creating a consistent method of evaluation.
Use Excellent Recruitment Assessments
An efficient way to avoid talent shortages is to determine the skills and strengths that you company lacks. After acknowledging the gaps in your workforce, you can focus your recruitment methods on finding candidates who have the qualities and characteristics that your company needs. Once you've built a strong pool of candidates, you will have to make sure that you put them through a well structured assessment process. With an excellent recruitment assessment you can save time and money, as well as interviewing candidates who are well suited for the role.

This Fifth Grader Just Schooled a Boy in Her Class With Six Simple RulesBy Anna Quintana
Crushes are very common on the playground — but when it's not reciprocated, it can be heartbreaking for a young child. However, one fifth grader took matters into her own hands when her classmate wasn't taking her hints.
In 2016, Zoe unknowingly schooled one boy, Noah, on consent when she wrote him a note with her "rules and regulations." Using a colorful array of markers, Zoe broke down the six simple rules she expected him to follow now that she made it clear she did not want to be his girlfriend.
Thanks to a friend of Zoe's teacher's, we are able to see these "rules" and share with some grown-ups who still haven't learned how to talk to woman. "My friend who's a 5th grade teacher just sent this to me! I'm dead," Denver Jones tweeted before sharing Zoe's rules, which begin with "Do not touch my shoulder."
That should be self-explanatory, but Zoe wanted Noah to realize that personal space is very important. Speaking of personal space, Zoe follows up that rule with, "Do not get behind me with all that playing and foolishness. (Do not get behind me at all)."
You hear that Noah? Stay away from our girl. She does not want to see or hear you, as per rule No. 3 which reads, "Do not speak to me unless it's a greeting, which will never be."
Rule No. 4 reminds Noah that these rules apply off the school yard as well. "Stop playing with me on the bus," she wrote before adding, "I have a short temper with people and you ruin my day because you play [too] much."
Now, Zoe doesn't have to give a reason why she doesn't want to be bothered by Noah, but we're glad she did. And just in case Noah didn't understand any of the rules, the sixth item goes, "Reread 500 times."
Yes, 500 times. So, why doesn't Zoe like Noah? She explains all in her seventh and final rule. "You like me (as a GF) but I don't like you (as a BF) I'm [too0 young]," she added.
And just in case Noah didn't get the message, she wrote, "If you break any of these rules I'm calling my dad, my mom's friend, my fake mom, and a janitor I know!"
Bye, Noah. After going viral, women of all ages related with Zoe's rules — proving that laying down your boundaries is universal.
"Zoe is my hero! She's got consent and boundaries down, communicates very clearly. No excuses, Noah," one Twitter user wrote. Another added, "10-year-old child exercising her right to bodily autonomy. Noah (and other boys) should take note and respect her wishes!"
A third chimed in, "Her strict rules are good. They aren't even strict rules, they are just this girl expressing her freedom of choice. She should definitely never have to a janitor! Hopefully one day he'll stop playing so much." Preach.
Two years later, it seems consent is still something young men are "struggling" to understand.
High schooler Emma Thatcher shared her two cents on the issue, tweeting, "Hello, female high school student here. I would just like to say that the emergence of this whole 'teenage boys should get a pass because they're not mature enough to understand consent' narrative is probably one of the most unsettling things I have ever witnessed."
Maybe Zoe's rules and regulations should be mandatory reading for everyone? Just a thought...

Neoliberalism is neither a return to classical liberalism nor the restoration of 'pure' capitalism. To misinterpret neoliberalism is to fail to understand what is new about it: far from viewing the market as a natural given that limits state action, neoliberalism seeks to construct the market and make the firm a model for governments. Exploring the genesis of neoliberalism, and the political and economic circumstances of its deployment, Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval dispel numerous common misconceptions.

*He is a workaholic, says construction giant's MD
The management of Julius Berger Nigeria (JBN) Plc has honoured the company's Executive Director (Administration) Alhaji Zubairu Ibrahim Bayi, for clocking the age of 60 years.
JBN's Managing Director, Engr. Wolfgang Goetsch, who recalled Bayi's contributions to the growth of the construction giant, said that he had worked in every section of the company's operations.
Goetsch said that Bayi has garnered worthy and helpful experience to the benefit of the company which he now serves as Executive Director for Administration.
He spoke at Bayi's 60th birthday celebration which was organised by the company's management at its corporate head office in Abuja.
Bayi, who is a Fellow and the Deputy Chairman of the College of Fellows of the Nigerian Institute of Building and certified member of the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON), said that there is no room for lazy employees in the firm.
In his response to the MD's remarks, Alhaji Bayi, eulogised Goetsch for his technical and administrative qualities and other colleagues whose work and sense of comradeship made his work and rise to his present position of high responsibilities possible.
Bayi said that it was with a deep sense of honour that he was privileged to address the distinguished gathering at his 60th birthday party, adding that he was proud to belong to the successful Julius Berger work family.
He said that over the years of working together for the advancement of Julius Berger, Goetsch and himself had developed a harmonious and trusting relationship beyond the official call of duty.
Goetsch, he said, is a man that has invested so much confidence and trust in him and at a point became one of the great Julius Berger titans who provided him with the ladder to climb to his current position in the company.
Bayi further described Goetsch as a good listener, adding meaningfully that the robust intellectual in Goetsch comes out brilliantly and beautifully when sometimes even against his earlier position, he accepts a reasonably superior argument from a subordinate. B
Bayi said his Julius Berger journey has been a great and interesting odyssey characterised by "grit and grime as well as thrills and frills". According to him, "I have run the straight lines, the curved turns, the downhill and the uphill flights. But in all, the great news is that it has been a great sojourn; an experiential odyssey of a fulfilling career and true friendships built not only across the Nigerian nation, but indeed across the Atlantic…"
Bayi recalled how he joined the company as a youth corps member after he graduated from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria in 1983 and was posted to Abuja, the nation's capital just under construction.
Abuja, he noted, at the time had a total population of less than 2,000 residents and was mainly bush, without hotels or any recreational facilities but loaded with wild animals, bush meat, and plenty of snakes.

Fast food shutdown
ON 4TH OCTOBER 2018 there was an historic co-ordinated strike of hospitality workers. It was named "Fast Food Shutdown 4-10" (#FFS410). Workers in hospitality and food couriers in the gig economy took action across the UK to demand an end to poverty wages and for their right to a union to be respected. Initially, two unions - the Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) and Unite - called co-ordinated strikes of workers at Wetherspoons, McDonald's and TGI Fridays.
Following the announcement, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) Couriers Network called a strike of Uber Eats and Deliveroo couriers in Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, London, Newcastle, Plymouth and Southampton. This call out was then supported by IWGB (Independent Workers of Great Britain) and GMB. As Lauren McCourt, a leading McStriker, said: "It's about time the workers who make the food and the workers who deliver it came together and fought together…Your fight is our fight."
With five unions and a day of action across the country, supported by War on Want, 4th October was to mark a new watershed in precarious workers taking action. It built on the first McStrike in September 2017 when workers at two McDonald's branches went on strike, and on 1st May (international workers' day) when five McDonald's branches went on strike. This time, Wetherspoons and TGI Fridays workers joined the action as well.
A dramatic midnight walk-out in Brighton kicked off a national day of action against low wages, precarious conditions and the lack of union recognition. Workers walked out to be greeted by their colleagues amidst chants of "We will win."
A morning picket outside McDonald's in Brixton gained local and international support. Fast food workers from four continents had come to London to show solidarity and they demonstrated the international nature of workers organising against these highly profitable multinational companies.
Demonstrations took place around the world on the same day as well as US fast food workers who were striking at the same time in the "Fight for $15."
At 11am, striking workers from McDonald's TGI Fridays and Wetherspoons came together for a rally in Leicester Square, the heart of the UK's hospitality industry. There, Frances O'Grady and John McDonnell spoke alongside workers taking industrial action. John expressed the "100% support" of the Labour Party.
Women workers from each employer addressed the crowd and were joined by an Uber Eats courier representing the IWW Couriers Network strike of delivery riders. Uber's UK headquarters in Aldgate, London, received a surprise visit at lunch time as Uber Eats couriers, Uber drivers, and supporters from IWGB and IWW occupied their main office with chants including "Uber, Uber you can't hide, we can see your greedy side" and "Five pound per drop or the work will stop."
In the evening, the strikes of Uber Eats and Deliveroo riders in cities across the UK came to the fore. Cardiff, Bristol, Newcastle and Glasgow had significant mobilisations, with local trade unionists and Momentum groups coming to support striking couriers.
Wetherspoons workers in Brighton held a rally with local MP Caroline Lucas and a musician who had written a song about them. As striking workers' words hit the media throughout the day, workers who recognised the conditions they described as their own got in touch with the unions involved to say they too were ready to join the fight. With widespread public support and media attention helping to build workers' confidence, the third and largest McStrike demonstrated that a new generation of workers are starting to realise the power they have when they get organised and take action.

Commentaries on this Media!
NAG Anti-busing protest at GM - Pontiac - 9-14-71 - NBCby Matt Delmont
To keep the anti-busing protests in the media spotlight for as long as possible, moreover, McCabe organized different types of protests to give reporters new events to cover that built on the existing NAG storyline. "Publicity, attention—every day," she told The National Observer, "that's what we've got to have." When a NAG picket line shut down the General Motors Fisher auto body factory, for example, it did not prompt GM to lobby for anti-busing legislation (NAG's stated goal), but it did draw coverage from all three networks. NAG's GM protest started at 5 a.m. and featured women and children carrying signs reading "Dads—Help us stop busing," while they chanted a slogan popularized by the Black Panthers: "Power to the people, power to the people, right on." CBS reported that NAG "tried something new today," while NBC reported that the group had adopted a "new tactic."

Experiments in Voice Theater
So I've been doing a lot of writing. Mostly short narratives that may or may not relate to each other, my goal has been to capture pockets of everyday experiences without forcing a grand narrative structure. Most of the stories are "true," to my memory at least -- but I also play with blurring the lines of fantasy and fiction, which our memories do from time to time anyway. If you like it, tell me, if you hate it, keep that shit to yourself. :)
Seriously, I'd like feedback if you have any. Here are my first two micro-plays. Enjoy.

Since having been sworn into office in January of 1989, he has remained the elected State Attorney serving the Fifth Judicial Circuit which includes Marion, Citrus, Lake, Sumter, and Hernando counties.
Brad was born in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1957, and has lived almost all of his life here in Florida.

He then attended law school at the University of Florida but left to work as a Marion County Sheriff's Deputy for a time.

As your State Attorney, I am committed to ensuring public safety and promoting respect for government through the prompt, effective, and compassionate prosecution of cases.

Award winning Continuity Closer
3rd January 2012
Cavity Trays of Yeovil has won best product at the Housebuilder 2011 awards for their Continuity Closer.
The product overcomes a shortfall in Building Regulations, occurring when constructing cavity walls with partial fill insulation retained against the cavity face of the inner skin.
The cutting of the insulation running into and from an opening sometimes leads to gaps where the inner skin is visible and thus exposed to the air.
The Continuity Closer eradicates this risk with its stepped insulating core, closing the reveal cavity and extending further inwardly to make contact with the adjacent cavity insulation. The direct heat loss path is sealed off.
For more information on the Continuity Closer and all Cavity Tray Ltd products visit the Cavity Tray Ltd page on the Encon website or contact your nearest Encon branch.

For just over two years, we have been renovating a property that before had stood completely derelict for over twelve years. It has been a tough journey. In this time, I have had several temporary studio spaces, all of which have provided a place of solace and purpose. My current space doubles up as a spare room, and at times to it serves as a workshop for Patrick.
The views out to the garden are wonderful, and of course, any view is made that much more lovely with the most Handsome Hugo close by to keep me company. His rhythmic steady snores often make me yearn for bedtime though ... but, together we're making memories and the work continues to bring joy.

Unique temporary structures for the premium market - Price Slashed - vendor finance possible.
This is a genuine urgent sale. The vendor lives in Australia and is seeking a sale before next season.
Since being established in 2012 the business has provided bespoke temporary structures for many of the leading international and domestic events staged throughout the country using their premium European equipment.
Located in the South Island the focus of the business has been in the Queenstown Lakes District servicing major sporting events, luxury weddings and business promotions. The business can be operated from any location in New Zealand. The market for the products in Auckland is large, there is a big gap in the premium market.
The sale of this business represents an excellent opportunity for an existing market participant or buyer to acquire a range of premium European equipment at a very favourable price. This equipment is in superb condition, with the replacement cost being around $400,000. The business has extensive industry contacts in the premium market.
The business operates for part of the year during the summer and autumn periods, and is capable of generating significant profits (2017 cash surplus was around $240,000) however with the vendor living in Australia and working internationally the business has suffered from neglect. The vendor will provide generous support and training to a purchaser.

Note: Almost two years after I wrote this review, Colors was soldiering on, largely ignored in the restaurant press, and apparently no great success. A New York Times article suggested that it was struggling to survive. My award of a star was overly generous; the colleagues I dined with later said it was the worst restaurant recommendation I'd ever made.
Since then, there have been multiple closings and re-openings. Most recently, Colors closed in 2012 and re-opened in 2014 after a re-vamp. The original concept of a cooperative, with recipes suggests by the employees' family backgrounds, has been abandoned. The new chef is Colt Taylor (One if by Land, Two if by Sea), with chef de cuisine Aaron Stein (Manzo, Perla).
Colors is a restaurant you want to root for. It's a cooperative run by former employees of Windows on the World at the World Trade Center. According to the manifesto on the website:
COLORS' mission is to build a worker-owned cooperative restaurant dedicated to food quality, service excellence and employee welfare.
Chef Raymond Mohan and his kitchen team offer a global menu inspired by the diversity of the staff and their family recipes reinterpreted for New York diners. COLORS is committed to sustainable agriculture, purchasing locally grown foods and sourcing free trade vendors whenever possible. The winelist spotlights small wineries and producers from emerging regions, featuring great values from around the world.
I dined at Colors on Wednesday evening with two colleagues. It is an attractive space, even if the international theme hits you over the head (you can't look anywhere without seeing a map). There are white tablecloths. The staff, in general, are highly professional and smartly dressed.
The bread service was as good as, or better than, many three-star restaurants I've been to. The menu is a mongrel, with dishes composed from many cuisines and styles, and no recognizable theme uniting them. Among the entrees, for example, you'll find steak, goat curry, and a Japanese bento box. The offerings are said to be "inspired by favorite family recipes" (i.e., of the staff).
To start, I ordered the Colors House Cured Duck Breast ($13). The menu says it's "Citrus flavored, hardwood smoked, served on raisin bread with porcini jelly." The porcini jelly tasted more like a horseradish spread. The duck, an ample portion for an appetizer, came stacked on three small slices of bread. It was a little unwieldy to pick up and eat, but the rewards were ample.
One of my colleagues had an oyster appetizer that looked wonderful, while the other had a tuna appetizer that he described as "okay." He didn't finish it, so I would guess his response fell well short of rapture.
None of the entrees really caught our fancy, so all three of us wimped out, and ordered the NY Strip (around $33). It came with chimichurri sauce, potato confit, watercress and blue cheese salad—or so the menu said; I couldn't really detect any blue cheese. The online menu shows a "Grass-Fed Ribeye," and I don't know why it's been replaced. It's hard to go seriously wrong with a steak, but at such a restaurant the strip is predictably going to fall short of what the better steakhouses have to offer.
The restaurant was nowhere near full. I suspect they are hanging on for dear life. There have been no professional reviews yet, aside from Frank Bruni's Diner's Journal preview right after the place opened. I suspect the critics are giving Colors a bit more time to get its act together—a kindness extended to a restaurant one desperately wants to succeed. Rather than deliver a potential death blow with lukewarm reviews, it seems the critics have steered clear, a courtesy they wouldn't extend to most other restaurants.
Colors offers a pleasant experience in comfortable surroundings, but I won't rush back.

The need for an identity
When I was applying for my first internship back in 2015, I hacked together a quick logo of two chevrons in a circle. As I went about my design journey and began putting together my design workflow and personal website, I realized I needed a powerful mark which represented what I believed in, which reflected my work and design principles. So I set out on this quest to define my visual identity.
Codifying the principles
I started codifying my design principles and workflow, and a clear narrative around constant evolution and iteration emerged. I focused on functionality over form and had a minimalist approach, which drive my design thinking.
The delta mark is born
I started exploring different marks, trying to be as minimal as I could, without losing meaning and effectiveness. After scribbling hundreds of logo marks, the delta mark was born, encircled in a beautiful superegg shape.
The logo
The delta mark is a symbol of constant evolution and change, coupled with the minimal logotype.
After exploring a broad range of colors, I developed a color system with a base gray palette and some accent colors for illustrations and graphics.
Typesetting the type
After countless iterations of numerous combinations, I chose Inter UI—a highly legible sans type—as the primary typeface, with Lora—a beautiful contemporary serif—for serif applications.
