In Japan and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has reportedly selected long-time political figure Fumio Kishida (pictured) to succeed the unpopular Yoshihide Suga as the Asian nation's next Prime Minister.
According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming, the 64-year-old Tokyo native bested a trio of rivals at yesterday's Liberal Democratic Party leadership election and is now due to be installed as the 100th Prime Minister of Japan via an extraordinary parliamentary session on Monday. The source detailed that Kishida vanquished Administrative and Regulatory Reform Minister Taro Kono at Wednesday's run-off contest after earlier overcoming high-profile female government ministers Sanae Takaichi and Seiko Noda.
Earlier endeavors:
A former banker first elected to parliament in 1993, Kashida previously held high-profile cabinet positions including a five-year stint as Minister of Foreign Affairs within the administration of past Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and was reportedly one of the leading figures in helping to push through the Integrated Resort Implementation Bill. This piece of legislation was ratified just over three years ago and will purportedly see the government grant a trio of disparate communities the right to build and run Las Vegas-style developments featuring multiple hotels, exhibitions facilities and large gaming floors.
Brief breather:
After being formally appointed by parliament and Kashida will reportedly be tasked with helping the Liberal Democratic Party to increase its hold on the national political scene via a general election that could be called from as early as next month. However, he purportedly faces an uphill battle owing to the legacy of 72-year-old Suga, who was widely criticized during his own short twelve-month term owing to the country's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and delayed 2020 Summer Olympics.
Positive pledge:
For its part and GGRAsia reported that Kashida has long been an advocate of the plan to license a trio of Japanese integrated casino resorts and used his two-week leadership campaign to reassure fellow proponents that he would not be looking to alter the current authorization timetable. This source explained that the next stage of this process is expected to conclude before the end of 2022 after candidate communities have submitted their formal bids to a panel of federal selectors ahead of an April 28 deadline.
Consensus call:
The online news domain at CNBC.com reported that Kashida will additionally be looking to garner wider public support courtesy of a pledge to review the country's healthcare and pension system and legislate for a ten-year consumption tax freeze. The Waseda University graduate purportedly used an official press conference following his selection to proclaim that he now intends to assist the Liberal Democratic Party in creating 'an atmosphere where we can tackle the national crisis as one team.'

Bingo anyone?
Jo writes:
After dabbling with sound maps in my last post, it reminded me of another activity involving the senses. This can be adapted for a local greenspace, your own garden or from a window for people who are shielding.
I'm talking bingo! Not the numbers kind but NATURE's bingo. There are lots of takes on this so here are just a few ways to do this:
- Download a colour bingo chart and note what you see
- Grab an egg carton or card with double-sided tape on it and collect items of different colours or textures (e.g. spiky, fluffy, rough etc). Please only take from the ground or if the item is there in abundance if in a public space
- Download one of the many spotter sheets from The Wildlife Trusts website and tick what you find.
This is another lovely activity that can be used in so many ways, awakening the senses. If sharing this in your gardening group for people to do on their own why not ask them to share the images of what they gather?– it's a lovely way to engage with everyone and share some beautiful images of nature.
Doing this activity, should make you as happy as two little ducks in a pond!
Happy Gardening!

I hope you're in the mood for a Random Thoughts post. Here are some of the things on my mind these days.
-The Presidential debate happened at about 4:00 AM France time. I woke up to texts about it and spent the first hour of my day watching highlights and reading commentary. It was painful to watch. Trump doesn't debate, he just spouts lies and nonsense. Trying to have a logical, productive discussion is not even a possibility for him, and is a waste of time for everybody else.
Olive and I had appointments with a doctor this morning (just a quick checkup as part of our visa applications) and when he saw on our paperwork that we were American, all the conversation turned to Trump. He was so embarrassed on our behalf, and I don't blame him. Trump has completely changed, in only negative ways, how America is viewed by the rest of the world.
-My voting plan will be implemented this week. Since we live in France, we are absentee voters. The way it works if you live abroad, is that you register with the state where you lived most recently. For us, that's California. In California, absentee voters can request a ballot via email or via mail. We chose email and it was sent to us a few days ago. In order to vote, we have to print out the ballot, fill it out, and sign it (very important! it doesn't count if it's not signed). Then we have two options: we can mail the ballot to California, or we can fax it.
Normally, mailing it would be a no brainer, but because we've heard so much about mail delays, we've decided we'll fax it. We'll either use a faxing app, or we'll head to the public library and use their fax machine.
You can check your registration, register to vote, and learn about your voting options here. And please be aware that every state has different guidelines — for example, not every state offers faxing as an option. Do you have a voting plan? I'd love to hear it.
-If you're interested, my thread about Trump Supporters was edited into an essay and published on Medium. You can find it here.
-Ben made it home! There was drama, but he's home and that's the important thing. Here's what happened: He set off from Salt Lake City on Sunday morning and was supposed to arrive in Paris on Monday morning. There was specific paperwork required to board the plane, including a negative Covid test result from the last 72 hours. (Ben spent a hefty chunk of his time in Utah making sure he could get a Covid test and a result in time to fly home.) Ben's paperwork was all in order and he had no problem boarding in Salt Lake. He flew to Chicago, and then on to Newark, New Jersey. From New Jersey he would go to Paris on a Sunday evening flight.
At Newark, they checked his paperwork again, but the gate representative told him his covid test wasn't valid and wouldn't let him board the plane. The same thing happened with 4 other people on the flight — they weren't allowed to board because the gate rep said there was something wrong with their covid test.
So Ben stayed in an airport hotel that night, and as soon as things opened on Monday morning, he spent all his energy trying to get another covid test. By noon on Monday, after a lot of hustling, he was able to get another test — but they told him the results wouldn't be ready until Wednesday at the earliest. So we started bracing ourselves that Ben wouldn't get home until Thursday — or later if the test results were late.
On Monday evening, Ben figured he would try again, because the gate attendant from Sunday night had been a jerk and Ben suspected that if that specific man wasn't at the desk that he would be allowed to board. And it turns out that's what happened! Ben, and others who weren't allowed on the Sunday evening flight, were allowed on the plane Monday evening. Their covid tests were totally fine — the gate attendant on Sunday was just in a bad place personally and was trying to make everyone around him miserable. Apparently that was his last shift before being furloughed. : (
When Ben arrived in Paris on Tuesday morning, they confirmed all his paperwork was in order, and the border check was fast and easy. He got on a train at Montparnasse and arrived back in Argentan at lunchtime. Hooray!
-His delayed arrival caused a bit more drama (and I am trying not to feel angry at the disgruntled gate attendant). Ben had important visa-related appointments on Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, that had been scheduled for us 8 weeks ago. And we had planned his whole trip around them. We made sure he would arrive in Paris 24 hours before, thinking that even if one of the flights was delayed, he would still make the appointments.
Obviously, our planning did not take into account that he would fly to Paris on Monday night instead of Sunday night, and he missed the Tuesday morning appointment. We're still trying to figure out how to get him a replacement appointment, and trying to stay positive.
In happier news, we sent Ben with an empty duffle bag, and he brought it back to us full of American groceries. Brownie mix, vanilla pudding for banana cream pie, Sour Patch Watermelon candy, taco seasoning packets, and a whole bunch more. It felt like Christmas!
-On Saturday night, at 9:00 PM France time, we watched a live broadcast of my mother-in-law's funeral. It was beautiful and made me homesick for extended family. Each of her 8 kids spoke and did a wonderful job. I especially loved Ben's talk and I'm thinking maybe I'll share it as a blog post. We were so sad to miss being there in person, but grateful we could be a part of it via the internet.
-How are you feeling about school? Are your kids attending in person, or online? Here in Normandy, the kids are attending in person, and so far (one month in) there have been no covid breakouts. But I know all of Europe is talking about what a second-wave could look like, and I'm mentally preparing to shut down again if/when the second wave materializes in a big way.
-We also pared down our extra-curricular activities. We cut out horseback riding and handball. The kids are participating in music lessons and swim team, but that's it. Piano for Flora June, Clarinet for Betty, and Trumpet for Oscar. They each get a private lesson, and a group music theory class. On Friday nights, Oscar and Betty practice with the local orchestra.
-I've been thinking a lot about the next event for Alt Summit. It's scheduled for the last week of February/first week of March, and it's clear that big gatherings (or any gatherings?) will still be unsafe at that time. So we're considering delaying till summer, or till fall, or perhaps hosting a digital conference (though personally, I'm feeling some Zoom fatigue and would have a hard time getting excited about hosting a digital event). There's also the option of skipping the 2021 conference altogether and hosting the next Alt Summit at the usual time in 2022. How are you feeling about online events? Do you have strong opinions?
-I'm trying to figure out the best way to share house renovation updates here on the blog. I've been so focused about sharing them on Instagram stories, and haven't been sharing here as much as I would expect. I don't have a solution yet, but it's on my mind.
Speaking of the blog, I need to hire someone to make some updates to my
WordPress template — it's been acting wonky and I need some help. If you're a WordPress pro (or know someone who is), please email me: email@example.com.
-Fall has definitely arrived in Normandy, and brought a temperature drop and lots of rain. Our radiators are on, and we've pulled out our sweaters and Olive has made two batches of pumpkin cookies. Tomorrow is October. I can hardly believe it. This must be the slowest/fastest year ever. Does it feel like fall where you live? Will you be decorating for Halloween this year?
I think that's it for now. Please feel free to respond to my random thoughts, or you can leave your own random thoughts in the comments. I always love to hear what's on your mind.
P.S. — More random thoughts.

Are you arguing for your success or are you arguing for your failure? And by failure I mean not continuing to try when you want something – as long as it's not a person…if they aren't interested, leave them alone.
What thoughts are you believing and what case are they presenting to your reality?
We can always find evidence that we CAN or that we CAN'T. The thoughts we BELIEVE dictate how we show up.
You think "it's too hard for you to do" – you don't want to keep trying. Thinking it's too hard feels heavy, uphill.
You think "there is a way" and you are OPEN to finding out – you keep going.
Something you've never done before – can be exciting or deter you from doing it. It all depends on what thoughts you have about it that give you the feelings to act with.
And that has a direct influence on your outcome.
Is there something you could apply this to in your life?

The Asexuality Quiz
Asexual Orientation Quiz
Asexual people, though lacking sexual attraction to any gender, might engage in purely romantic relationships, while others might not. Researchers generally define asexuality as the lack of sexual attraction or the lack of sexual interest, but their definitions vary; they may use the term "to refer to individuals with low or absent sexual desire or attractions, low or absent sexual behaviors, exclusively romantic non-sexual partnerships, or a combination of both absent sexual desires and behaviors". Self-identification as asexual may also be a determining factor.

Calls are continuing to build for regulators to investigate the business practices of the container shipping industry, with the association representing European freight forwarders becoming the latest to demand that the EU Competition regulators to become involved. Accusing the ocean shipping carriers of profiteering and taking steps to drive out independent freight forwarders, the association writes in a letter to the EU Commission saying that the practices are disadvantaging shippers and end-consumers because of restricted choice of services and higher rates.
Addressing EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager, the European Association for Forwarding, Transport, Logistics, and Customs Service (CLECAT) calls on the Commission to urgently investigate under the EU competition rules the impact of issues including vertical integration, consolidation, control of data, and the resulting market dominance. In particular, they cite the forecasts of over $200 billion in profits for industry, saying the EU needs to become involved to remove unfair and discriminatory rules.
CLECAT cites the "massive freight rate hikes over the last 18 months," which they contend "have led to damaging inflation and increases in the EU's costs of living." In their letter to the commissioner, they said that carriers are using their capacity management strategies resulting in profiteering and permitting the carriers to acquire further market power to vertically integrate, increase rates, and drive out independent freight forwarders in the downstream market.
They are calling on the European Commission to urgently use its powers of investigation to establish the degree of concentration, consolidation, coordination, and cartelization in the upstream container liner shipping services markets serving the EU, and the downstream markets for freight forwarding services
"CLECAT notes that the combination of these factors has enabled the carriers to cherry-pick the highest-volume shippers for longer-term contracts and relegate the others to the spot market where they will pay multiples of the rates offered to the favored few," writes the organization.
"We regret that the Commission has so far ignored the important messages from many stakeholders who depend on a healthy maritime container logistics supply chain," says Nicolette van der Jagt, Director General of CLECAT. "We continue to call for new rules of the game, with more governance and oversight of carriers in accordance with normal competition rules," she wrote saying it was critical to prevent one party from having an unfair advantage or trying to use an advantage to drive the other out of business.
Similar calls have come from many other groups, including freight forwarders in the UK and multiple organizations in the United States. In addition to the individual investigations, five competition authorities, representing the UK, U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand announced that they will be working together to look at the business practices of the carriers and freight rates. They plan to share information and collaborate to prevent cartels and other illegal business practices that could harm shippers, global trade, and the economy.

A University of Chicago professor explains his findings that serotonin induces gasping in oxygen-deprived infants. These results will probably not lead to Prozac prescriptions for babies, but they could be used to find a genetic marker for SIDS risk down the road.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome could be caused by a problem with serotonin receptors on a specific type of neuron, according to a paper published in the March 8 Journal of Neuroscience.
The study provides a mechanism that could explain why infants are more likely to experience SIDS when sleeping on their stomachs, and it raises the possibility that infants at risk could ultimately be identified by a genetic test.
The study focuses on a group of neurons called CI-pacemakers, which the study's authors believe are responsible for gasping. The neurons have serotonin receptors on their surfaces, and when serotonin binds to the receptors it opens channels that allow a burst of calcium to flow into the neuron. This burst causes the pacemaker neurons to induce gasping.
According to lead author Jan-Marino Ramirez, an assistant professor of organismal biology at the University of Chicago, babies who die of SIDS have an insufficient ability to gasp. When a sleeping infant is deprived of oxygen, for example because of lying on its stomach, the CI-pacemakers would normally cause the infant to gasp, and gasping would cause the baby to wake up crying, which would reset normal breathing. At this point, it might also turn over on its own or be aided by a concerned parent.
Previous studies have shown that infants who died of SIDS had abnormal serotonin transporters, the receptor that takes serotonin into cells for recycling, Ramirez explained. The serotonin transporter is different from the serotonin receptor found on the pacemaker neurons. But because it is involved in moving serotonin into cells, it plays a role in regulating the amount of serotonin present in the body.
At this point, it is unclear how the disturbed serotonin transporters are linked to the pacemaker neurons that control gasping, Ramirez said. The problem with the transporters could lead to decreased levels of serotonin in the body, he said. On the other hand, he theorized, it could lead to increased levels, which, in turn, could make the body downgrade production of serotonin.
Further research should develop the link between the pacemaker neurons and the disturbed serotonin transporters, according to Ramirez. He is also interested in learning about the connection between pacemaker neurons and the brain's center for arousal, the locus coeruleus.
In the clinic, it may be possible to identify babies at a high risk for SIDS by screening for disturbances in serotonin levels or serotonin transporters, Ramirez said. Looking down the road, it might be possible to identify a genetic marker that would allow physicians to associate the baby's risk with a number.
It is possible that if a marker were found, babies at high risk for SIDS could be given a drug to normalize their serotonin levels, he said. But for now, Ramirez is very reluctant to use drugs that increase levels of serotonin, such as antidepressants, to correct this problem. Serotonin is a complicated molecule, which affects many systems, he explained. At this stage of understanding, it would be better to just monitor babies who are at high risk very carefully.

St. Louis Motorcycle Brain Injury Attorneys
Brain Injuries After a Motorcycle Collision
The body of a motorcyclist can experience a rapid amount of severe damage in the short span of a motorcycle crash. Even the most serious accidents typically only last for a matter of seconds, but the injuries sustained are often felt for a lifetime. Of all the injuries that may occur during a crash, perhaps none are more severe than brain trauma. Head injuries are the most common cause of motorcyclist fatalities during crashes and even if the injured rider does not pass away from his or her injuries, he or she frequently experiences permanent losses in physical, mental, and emotional capabilities.
St. Louis motorcycle crash lawyers at Page Law have the skills and experience needed to help you find compensation for your losses if the crash you suffered was the result of another party's negligent or reckless actions, as is the right of every citizen under Missouri law. The trauma of a brain injury may be impossible to completely overcome, but the aid given by compensation can help you or your loved one meet such challenges confidently and with as little amount of stress as possible.
The Effects of a Motorcycle Crash on the Brain
Commonly, a motorcyclist will come into direct contact with the vehicle he or she collided with during a crash or will be thrown from the motorcycle onto the ground or into another object at high speeds. Because motorcyclists have little protection or restraint, their heads will most likely suffer some form of impact during the crash. Thankfully, motorcycle helmets are designed to prevent the worst injuries from usually occurring during a crash. Head injuries are the most common cause of death in a motorcycle crash, but those without a helmet are even more likely to suffer such fatal injuries.
Unfortunately, brain injuries can still be suffered while wearing a helmet. While an open head wound, where an object pierces the skull, will most likely not occur, a closed head wound may still be felt. During a closed head wound, a victim's head impacts an object with great force, shaking his or her brain and bouncing it off the insides of the skull. These impacts will likely result in a victim suffering brain trauma.
Brain Injury Consequences
Since your brain controls all aspects of how you function, including physical, mental, and emotional capabilities, the results of a traumatic brain injury can be varied and devastating. Depending on the severity of the injury, short-term and long-term consequences of a brain injury include:
- loss of consciousness for varied lengths of time;
- coma;
- dizziness;
- vomiting;
- uncontrollable emotional changes;
- decreased mental capabilities;
- confusion;
- memory problems;
- sensory dysfunction; and
- seizures.
Unfortunately, motorcycle crashes often result in riders experiencing the worst of these effects, requiring emergency medical care and long-term rehabilitation.
Preventing Brain Injuries in a Motorcycle Accident
The best possible course of action in preventing a brain injury is to try and prevent an accident from ever occurring. Riding safely, obeying the rules of the road, and keeping an eye out for unsafe drivers can lower your chances of being involved in a crash. Unfortunately, even the safest rider cannot prevent all accidents from occurring and negligent drivers, unsafe roads, and vehicle malfunctions are often the reason behind many of the worst motorcycle crashes. As such, always make sure to wear the best and most complete safety gear you have whenever you go out on Missouri's roads. Above all, a high quality full face motorcycle helmet is your best protection against a brain injury, as it will absorb the shock of impact and keep your brain from impacting your skull as much as possible.
St. Louis Motorcycle Brain Injury Attorney Finding Help in Dealing with Your Losses
If you or someone you care about has suffered a brain injury in a motorcycle crash caused by another party's actions, compensation can help you or your loved one recover from physical and financial losses. Our Missouri motorcycle brain injury attorneys understand the severe impact of such accidents and are dedicated to helping victims move forward from their injuries.

Congratulate your graduate with the latest stylish accessory to carry them through the next years of their life and look great doing it. Fashion and gemstone jewelry is a fun and exciting gift she'll love to wear. Though less versatile than traditional pearls and diamonds, gemstone jewelry makes a statement no one is likely to forget. Complement her youthful complexion with brilliant sapphires in blues, pinks, browns, or yellows. To stay closer to tradition, try out an iridescent opal pendant and matching earrings. Gemstone sets are playful and expressive ways to step up any outfit, especially those for daily wear in class or at the office!
The tradition of class rings goes back to ancient times, when Egyptians would wear rings to show their association to a particular group, be it religion, class, or shared belief. The idea of wearing jewelry remained for millenia, making its way through the military and becoming a point of pride for graduates of West Point Military Academy as they wore class rings to recall the honor and cause of their education, career, and beyond. Now class rings are available for every high school and college. The best way to get your class ring is to shop locally, as our Gurnee area shop has all the logos, symbols, and colors you need to to create the class ring of your dreams!
Customized jewelry is a lovely gift for almost any occasion, and graduation is no different. Whether it's your graduate's name, graduating year, initials, or a meaningful word or phrase, a customized gift will bring them joy and memories for years to come. Customized jewelry has a second, secret superpower: whether it's the first day of college or the inaugural day of a job or internship, those who wear their names or initials as a necklace are more likely to be remembered, skipping over those awkward moments of "what did you say your name was?" Give them a lasting first impression and some name recognition with a monogram necklace to boost their confidence and make your graduate comfortable no matter where they go!
Graduation gifts don't need to be limited to the bigger years of high school and college. Make your rising ninth grader feel like she's accomplished something incredible with a birthstone pendant necklace she'll wear every day. Treat your soon-to-be middle schooler to a charm bracelet or simple gemstone studs. Anytime your loved one moves schools, there's a chance to celebrate the big and small moments with the graduation gift of fine jewelry. Even surviving eleventh grade or getting a good GPA deserves some recognition. Help build her professional wardrobe with jewelry for the big years ahead at Rolland's Jewelers.
Still looking for the perfect graduation gift for your special graduate? Come to Rolland's Jewelers to browse our selection of necklaces, earrings, watches, and more and find exactly what you're looking for. You won't find a better inventory or more knowledgeable and friendly staff in the Gurnee area. At Rolland's Jewelers, you're more than a customer — you're part of our {STORE_NAME) family.

The fans knew Roberto Firmino gave Liverpool their best chance at beating Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday and Sadio Mané knew it, too—and wanted Firmino involved, one good eye or two!
"I think Bobby doesn't need his eye to play so I told him," Mané said following the match won by Firmino's stoppage time strike. "I sent him a message on Monday saying, 'Hey Bobby, come on, we need you.'
"You've all seen the 'no-look' goals, so I think he doesn't need his eye to play, so I texted him saying, 'You don't need your eye!'"
Of course, a thankfully healed second eye and the depth perception to go with it probably did help Firmino to feint inside, chop the ball back outside and onto his right, and slot it into the far corner of PSG's goal in the 92nd minute.
There was something of a feeling of inevitability to it, though—that if a player with the drive of Firmino could find a way to play, he would. And if he did, he would find a way to make a difference.
That desire to play and to be involved and to make a difference in every moment of every game is what makes Firmino so important to Liverpool's chances, and it's why, eye jokes aside, Mané was texting him that the team needed him.
Increasingly, though, Firmino isn't alone in having that drive. Increasingly, Liverpool look an entire squad made up of those kinds of players.
"I think it is about desire and belief," Mané added of Liverpool's push for a late winner and of a team that, from Jürgen Klopp on the bench to Firmino leading the line, shares that same driven mentality.
"We have quality in the team and the team is mentally free to go forward and believe it until the end. It is what we tried and finally we scored the third goal, which was very important for the team."

The menu will showcase the different meals, beverages, and other products for sale until consumers simply choose whichever they prefer. Expect such a material to be detailed from the food names, price, and specifications. Those will also get shown for a food order since individuals need to choose before ordering.

What Is a Menu Form?
Menu forms are documents containing a list of information regarding the foods, products, and services available in a business. It becomes expected that clients will select from the menu upon ordering the meal of their choice. However, lists here are not merely limited to food since that can get customized for other services or whatever people will prefer. What is similar about most menus is those shall display and inform clients about what can get served. A restaurant menu, for example, can tell everybody about how much the products are, what are available, and other related details. For menu forms, people can jot down their names, addresses, orders, and specific requests until everything will get prepared and delivered in the end.
Completing a menu form matters a lot for clarification on restaurants and businesses about finalizing what to prepare. A bunch of considerations will get observed here anyway from the size of meals, time of delivery, diet restrictions, and so forth. Without such a form, it will be easy to get wrong in the order that the meals delivered could be missing some products. Other bad scenarios are delivering products to the wrong people or that some foods stated were not even found in the menu order. It will be easy to come up with such sheets anyway thanks to editable and fillable templates.
What Are the Advantages Found in Menu Forms?
Menu forms can have different functions. A common one involves a list of foods in restaurants, but these can also work in plotting a meal plan, preparing for events like a catering order via a catering menu, and more. With many functions come various benefits as well. Identifying each is essential to familiarize why a menu form is quite advantageous. The common advantages are as follows:
Easy for Reference
It is beneficial to have menu forms when it comes to clarifying and checking all orders. For example, a customer might call for an order, but it will be hard to memorize everything if there are a lot of considerations and requests involved. Thus, a written document will be much better for reference since whatever gets written or printed will serve as the basis on what meals to prepare. People preparing the foods will quickly identify what to include and not include thanks to the document.
Very Detailed
Many details can get found among menu forms, and it is crucial to keep it that way to make things sure. A menu might have coffee from the choices. However, additional details should get added regarding the flavor, sugar content, foam, and others. Such detailed information will ensure that the proper order gets prepared throughout the way. The same importance applies to what the document's purpose is since the sheet could get mistaken for a restaurant application, reservation form, and more.
Reduces Mistakes
Wrongdoings are normal as anyone can make mistakes, but it is inexcusable to keep on committing such wrongdoings every single time. Correcting orders is a must, and observing a reliable menu order is one way to do that. Any business's reputation will get poorly affected by making errors as lesser clients may trust that company already. Improving the success rate of operations is good news for all companies anyway, and the menu form can help make that happen.
Official Documentation
Having documentation is also considered an advantage because there can be instances where proof will get asked along the way. The menu forms can show that an agreement got settled for the foods to get served as asked by clients. The document can work as the receipt, too, in showing that an official order got conducted. Having copies for who handles the business and the customer will be essential, so all parties have their copy about the menu sheet.
Why Spelling and Review Matters for Menus and Billboards
Some people have to make a menu quickly that a bunch of mistakes will get seen in the outcome. Such an example shows clearly that a rushed process took place for involving errors. Mistakes can even be too funny like the funny restaurant menu fails found by witnesses. A popular restaurant menu is from Good Guys' classic burger because one of the burger's contents, which is its Angus beef, got misspelled. The menu contained the common ingredients from lettuce and tomato sauce, but what sparked social media attention was Anus beef. The company referred that to Angus, but the misspelling made the menu a laughingstock for referring it to someone's behind.
If anyone who made the menu had a review on the output, then the misspelling could have gotten prevented. Good Guys is not the only example to look after as more menus have not been corrected in other companies too. One wrong detail may mean another thing, so it should be clear by now in understanding the importance of reviewing such sheets. The need to review does not merely apply to the orders because other details from the menu require some attention as well. Checking the person's name and contact information will be part of what to observe there. Correct everything until enough confidence gets given that everything is alright.
What Can Get Seen in Most Menu Forms?
Similar details are around in the majority of menu forms, and it turns crucial to identify every notable example. Here are the parts commonly realized at a menu form:
Client Details
It is normal to start identifying to the person who is making the order, and menu forms frequently begin with that information. Inputting the common name and contact details gets expected, and it will also be significant to have more precise info in identifying them. Wrong identification can already lead to delivering the food ordered among menus to the wrong individuals. That may spark up a complaint from clients already, which will turn worrisome for the business.
Determining the price cannot be a stranger for menu sheets because clients want to know how much they will be paying. Maybe people are unsure of the total amount so that the document can mention the total in the end. Clarifications are also relevant here since money gets talked about in quotes. The incorrect amount given for payments may cause a burden in the long run. Thus, reviewing every number stated for the price is essential for a beneficial outcome.
Delivery Details
After people order from the menu, the next concern is how the foods can reach them. Someone might finalize a meal plan by getting different products from the list for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Where and when to deliver at every specific meal will matter. People assigned to provide such foods can begin planning by gathering the menu form that contains the customer's address, preferred time of delivery, and other specifications.
Menu Choices
As individuals check from the food menu, it turns easy to start the choosing process. Just like typical food and beverage order forms, there are choices provided on what is available. A similar example can occur to menu forms because it gets easier when individuals merely select from some options offered than having to write down the whole thing. However, everything should remain sure that whatever gets placed for each option will be available as any customer can choose each example.
How to Make a Standard Menu Form
Making menu forms may seem like a challenging process, but it can turn easy by recognizing essential steps to come up with an acceptable form. These helpful steps are:
Step 1. Specify for What Menu the Form Is
Any person who views the document might not receive the message right away that it is a menu form. Menu documents can be too broad, so making it more specific is much better. Maybe the sheet gets prepared for someone's monthly healthy diet or perhaps the order for daycare and other organizations. Make it to the point where individuals never have to question what the form's function is because adding confusion proves that making such a document failed.
Step 2. Observe Menu Planning
Menu planning is a crucial process to finalize because maybe no strategies and smart decisions were observed for creating the entire menu. How meals get presented and what foods to offer are examples that deserve some attention. Plans deserve a careful evaluation as well to inspect and correct information. Poorly planned documents only hinder the idea of trying to create a professional or standard form. There will undoubtedly be improvements upon taking some practice and getting extra help for forming it anyway.
Step 3. Organize for an Easier Experience
How menu forms get presented must be considered because maybe the format or content inputted was never appropriately arranged. Certain adjustments become essential to manage, so things turn easy to understand, and lesser issues will take place. Things even get easy if instructions are around, so anyone who fills out the form will not have a difficult time trying to complete it.
Step 4. Review All Details
Others get too confident that everything is okay, but that might never be the case in actuality. Reviewing can help check if something is wrong, and changing every mistake is still possible at this point. Never allow such documents to go unedited because those will only receive a bunch of problems in the end. Correcting all errors will prove that the form got managed effectively.
Step 5. Maintain a Great Design
Design still matters because nobody wants to look at the menu form with an unimpressed look. Even standard menus get designed properly to become pleasing to the eye of customers, and the same goes for some food pictures to keep clients hungry and wish to order. Customizing the template is a basic step for designing, and adding creative ideas will make it even better. If there is a theme that fits the business well, then observing that is worth it.
The need to check the menu forms should no longer get questioned because of how important and helpful it will be for both businesses and customers. If there is a great effort given for cooking the meals and delivering those, then such an effort must also be placed for making a menu form. Such a document marks as the foundation of the ordering process, and making a good move at the initial step sends a positive sign for the result to turn even better.

On the heels of celebrating 60 years of racing, Kent's Pacific Raceways officially broke ground on its extensive expansion plans which begins with the $25M buildout of the Pacific Innovation Center (PIC) and Pacific Motorsports Park (PMP).
The Pacific Innovation Center is one of four "Projects of Statewide Significance" designated by the Department of Commerce.
Construction on the five initial buildings will total 200,000 square feet and will be used as garage/shop, business, innovation center and retail space. Racers, retail, enthusiasts and technology development companies can utilize prototype manufacturing, storage and workspace for their core purposes while being located steps away from the track. Miles Resources began the groundwork in 2019. Already 75% of the space in the first two buildings (60,000sf) has already been pre-leased by Milt Reimers of CBRE.
Poe Construction has been tapped to build both the Pacific Innovation Center and the Motorsports Park. Pacific Raceways has been owned and operated by the Fiorito family since 1959, and the track expansion project has been in the ideation phase for nearly twenty years.
The groundbreaking event was held this week at Pacific Raceways, and was attended by over 100 guests, including elected officials, representatives, sponsors and fans who showed their enthusiasm for the transformative addition of the Pacific Innovation Center and Motorsports Park to the Raceway located in Kent.
"We are going to continue to be a racetrack, and now this transition redefines the infrastructure to include a test bed for transportation industry innovation and that solidifies the sustainability of racing in our region," Pacific Raceways president Jason Fiorito (pictured below) said.
In the keynote, Fiorito also acknowledged the previous generations of the Fiorito family for their unwavering commitment to the sport, the track and the racing community, and expressed gratitude to the elected officials, many in attendance, for their support of the project and the years of work to get to this point.
Next track partner Ron Erickson spoke of the importance of the designation and how the expansion will house innovative automotive companies, ambitious startups, and act as a hub for critical industry research for future automotive technologies.
Then King County Council Member Pete von Reichbauer brought the program to a close, applauding this project as an example of how King County and the cities of Auburn and Kent are bringing more living wage jobs to their communities.
Attendees also got to experience professional sports car track rides and individual kart racing circuit laps after lunch.

The Missouri weather has not been good for kayaking for the past few days … high winds, lots of rain, cold … so until things settle down, I'm going to get back to posting some images and adventures I experienced on my recent roadtrip to Yellowstone NP and the Badlands NP. Today's post comes from the Badlands NP, located in South Dakota.
As we drove through the park, we rounded a curve on an "s-curve" portion of the road, surrounded by beautiful formations of rock. But as we rounded the curve, I noticed a strange-looking nest in a single tree that happened to be growing here. Before I could say anything, my wife asked "What kind of nest is that!?", pointing to the same object I was looking at. Immediately, I replied "I'm not sure, but I don't think that's a nest." Here is what we saw (this image was taken from the road, after we stopped to investigate):
Looking for a pullout, I saw there was none in the area. And being in the middle of an "S" curve, I wasn't really fond of parking in the road. But this was a weekday. And temperatures in the morning were hovering ~0°F. The result … very, very few people were driving through the park. So what's a nature photogapher to do? Answer … stop, anyway! I decided I had to find if this was a nest … and if it was, try to figure out what made it. And we weren't really in a blind spot. And the speed limit was only ~35 mph in this area. OK, OK, so I justified I could stop for a moment!
Getting out of the truck, I made the previous image. Seeing and hearing no approaching vehicles, I decided to tramp out in the snow a ways to get a closer look. Once I got a bit closer, I started grinning … "Looks like a porcupine!" I yelled back to my wife. I proceeded to get a bit closer … not close enough to scare the critter, but just enough to try to get a clean shot through all the branches of the tree he was occupying (anyway, I had my 100-400mm lens in place, with a 1.4x TC, so I didn't need to get real close). Here are a couple more images I made of this cute little guy:
I made a few images and quickly headed back to the truck, and still no traffic! This was a first for me. I had seen/photographed a young, captive porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) a few years ago, but had never seen one in the wild before today … another "wild lifer"! Got a few more wildlife and landscape posts coming up from the Badlands, so stay tuned.

Mount Tarawera
On Saturday, November 10th 2018, I had the opportunity to go to Mount Tarawera. Due to the significance of this mountain for the local Maori people, it's no longer accessible to any old Tom, Dick or Harry. Now, all trips to this fascinating summit must be arranged with Kaitiaki Adventures. These are the people who consider themselves guardians of the mountain and have a historical/ancestral connection and plenty of stories to share.
Rather excitingly, on the day of my visit, I was not part of the usual tour group. I was heading up to the mountain on behalf of New Zealand's Department of Conservation (DOC). The goal was simple: pull out as many wilding pines as possible. Literally, twenty-five or so of us in a line - similar to a police manhunt - traipsing the sides of the mountain pulling, hacking and sawing as we went along. It was a real privilege to be involved and to give something back as I've done countless DOC tracks, hikes, walks and climbs over the last eleven months. Even if it was back-breaking work, it was totally worth it!
The forecast was clear so I'd decided to try and work on my tan by wearing shorts and a singlet. How mistaken I was. We'd been advised to wear long pants and tops. I came away covered in scratches from scrambling through the fallen trees and spiky native bushes. Oops!
If you do this trip the 'traditional' way, one of the highlights is not only the beautiful view but you actually get to run - at full speed - down into the crater. Slipping and sliding on the scree and scoria as you go. Due to making good time, we managed to get a run in after our volunteering had come to an end. It was beyond exhilarating until I was too focused on filming and took a tumble. With nothing to hold on to and nothing to stop you I was left slipping and sliding (and scraping skin) until I could dig my legs in deep enough to hold myself in place. It was most entertaining. I just wish the camera was on me for that as it would certainly be hilarious to watch.
Anyway, enough chatter from me. Look at these beautiful pictures. And I didn't add any filters or enhance the colours. It really and truly actually looks like this.

One of Nebraska's great assets is the variety of animals that can be found when traveling from one end of the state to the other. Just as the landscape changes as one heads westward, so do the set of creatures one is likely to see.
Within a short drive from Chadron I have a fair chance of seeing pronghorn, mule deer, elk and the occasional swift fox or golden eagle. And, of course, one of the state's most prominent media darlings, the bighorn sheep, makes its home in our butte country.
When it comes to wildlife viewing, June has been a great month for me. Tips and guidance from friends and coworkers helped me view and photograph a variety of the animals unique to this end of the state.
Bighorns enjoy the most rugged buttes and canyons of this part of the state – being able to scurry up and down steep canyons and buttes serves as a reliable defense mechanism and great entertainment.
If rugged buttes aren't your style there's the swift fox, which enjoys the sea of short grasses and rolling hills of which so much of our land consists. Watching swift fox pups play is something everyone should have on his bucket list. I wasn't set up for video the day my son and I were watching the foxes play in Sioux County as a small thunderstorm was approaching, but did get a short clip with an iPad that might help set the scene. (You'll want to watch at full screen if you want a chance to see the action.)
And, although northwestern Nebraska may not be known for its wetlands, we do have a few "puddles" that attract a variety waterfowl. I was certainly glad to see a flock of American avocets land near my blind at a small lake just before sunrise one morning this week.
Beautiful creatures, all.
A Frightening Takeoff
In order to see bighorns, sometimes you need to be willing to hike across those buttes and canyons they call home.
During a recent outing at Chadron State Park with Commission wildlife staff members Laura Woodrum, Rick Arnold and Todd Nordeen, I found myself climbing a steep canyon wall to get to the other side.
During the climb I popped my head over a ledge, only to see two beady eyes and a bald head within arm's reach. With such an occurrence, it takes a person what seems an eternity to answer the question, "Exactly what creature am I dealing with, here?"
Before I could answer the question, the unidentified critter flapped its wings several times — beating me over the head while gaining enough clearance to fly away.
As the mysterious beast was flying down the canyon, I got a good look at it and turned to see the nice clutch of eggs on which the animal had been sitting.
The evidence proved my adversary to be a hen Merriam's wild turkey that had previously decided to nest in the exact area that I chose to climb. With my heart still beating rapidly and images of flapping wings firmly imprinted in my mind, I made my descent and found another route up the canyon wall.
Of course, the photographer in me soon asked the question, "Why, oh, why, couldn't a video camera have been strapped to my head during the encounter?"
We did manage to get close to some bighorns that day — four magnificent rams that seemed to be in much better shape than me.

The next Game of Thrones could be a sci-fi epic set in Africa.
On Monday, Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor posted an announcement on her Facebook page:
"I'm finally free to announce this: My World Fantasy Award winning novel WHO FEARS DEATH has been optioned by HBO and is now in early development as a TV series with George R. R. Martin as executive producer. Note: This did not happen overnight. It's been nearly 4 years coming."
Martin is, of course, the author of the novels that became the HBO smash hit Game of Thrones and also serves as a co-executive producer of the series.
The news is a major win not just for Okorafor but for African fiction and representation of African issues on television. To understand why, it's important to understand the themes Okorafor explores in her work.
Getting to know the author is the first step in understanding her work. Born in America and the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Nnedi Okorafor grew up in Illinois. She was a star tennis player until she was diagnosed with scoliosis. It was during her recovery from surgery that Okorafor turned to writing. Her first published novels were young adult books set in West Africa, mainly in Nigeria. Who Fears Death is her first adult novel.
A professor of English at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Okorafor has written several other books, including the Hugo and Nebula award-winning Binti. Her main characters are usually young black African women who want to shape their own destiny but first must overcome present circumstances (going against their parents' wishes, leaving abusive relationships or coming to terms with being an unwanted outsider in a community). She contributed a short story to Star Wars: From A Certain Point Of View, an anthology set in the Star Wars universe, due for release in October and was part of a panel discussion on Wonder Woman's "Sister Protagonists" at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.

Another day and yet another seemingly unbelievable announcement from tech billionaire Elon Musk.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO says his companies' upgraded hyperloop transportation pod will undergo a test soon — with the aim of reaching half the speed of sound and then braking in less than a mile.
you are watching: Tech billionaire Elon Musk plans hyperloop high-speed acceleration and braking test
In a late Saturday night tweet, Musk teased the latest progress update in his effort to build a tunnel capable of whisking pods of travelers between cities at speeds of up to 700 miles per hour.
The upcoming test will try to have the pod achieve half the speed of sound, or roughly 381 miles per hour, and then brake within 1.2 kilometers, or approximately three-quarters of a mile, he tweeted.
Could anything possibly go wrong? The high-speed acceleration and braking in such a short distance is "kinda nutty," he tweeted. But it will be "exciting either way," he added.
Some of Musk's millions of Twitter followers seemed divided about the proposed test goals.
Can't wait to try hyperloop travel, enthused Twitter user DeviliciousMe.
However, TetriniMusic tweeted some skepticism about the potential results.

Musk first introduced his vision for a tube-based hyperloop transportation system in a 2013 white paper, outlining the possibility of a gridlock-busting idea that could make current modes of transit passe.
In the years since, Musk has gained several potential hyperloop competitors, including British tycoon and airline magnate Richard Branson. In February, the Branson-backed Virgin Hyperloop One announced plans to build a hyperloop tunnel in India that would lop roughly three hours off the travel time between the city of Pune and a planned airport in Mumbai.
Last week, a Canadian startup called TransPod said it wants to raise $50 million for its own hyperloop technology aimed at ferrying passengers at speeds of more than 1,000 kilometers or roughly 622 miles an hour, Bloomberg News reported.
Musk hasn't exactly been standing still. In October, the American Public Transportation Association tweeted that Musk was poised to a start a hyperloop project in Maryland. The tweet cited a Baltimore Sun report that said state officials had issued a conditional utility permit to let Musk's tunneling firm, The Boring Company, dig a 10.3-mile tunnel beneath the Maryland-owned portion of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
Musk tweeted at the time that full announcement was likely months away.
Separately, Musk used a series of tweets in March to refine his futuristic transportation vision. The tweets included an animation that showed a bus-like vehicle suddenly lowering itself deep underground where it joined a flowing artery filled with similar people-filled pods.
Musk described the new auto-less mission as a departure from his original concept for The Boring Company, which focuses on drilling tunnels beneath major urban centers. Initially, he planned to fill the company's tunnels with moving platforms that carried passengers' personal cars.
Musk has other problems and challenges to address while he works on the hyperloop venture.

Some investors have signaled a potential loss of faith in the entrepreneurial maverick as production levels of his mass-market Tesla Model 3 electric car struggles to meet promised goals.
Tesla announced last week that Model 3 production is increasing so rapidly the pace may soon a "exceed even that of Ford and the Model T.".
However, Musk and Tesla have gone through a recent bad spell amid a drop in the value of company's shares, a spat with the National Transportation Safety Board and a debt rating downgrade.

The NewBuy Guarantee, launched by David Cameron in a blaze of publicity, is "not at all what was envisaged", the head of the Home Builders Federation (HBF) said.
Lenders have not embraced the scheme as was intended, the HBF's executive chairman Stewart Baseley wrote in a letter to home builders, acknowledging this is "incredibly frustrating and annoying".
The Treasury has now been forced to urge UK lenders to back NewBuy after a "far from satisfactory launch", he told the industry, following crisis meetings with the HBF and the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML), which represents high street lenders.
Officials at the Treasury will make "urgent contact with the lenders at senior level to establish each lender's intentions and to impress upon each the need to implement New Buy as a matter of priority", he said.
The Government hopes NewBuy will boost the housing market through 95pc loan-to-value mortgages of up to £500,000 on new build properties, guaranteed by the builder and the state, and create up to 50,000 jobs.
The HBF, which developed the scheme, long in the works, with the CML, heralded its official launch on March 12 as a "vital kick-start" for builders. However, there have been worries that lenders, with less benefit to gain, would prove reluctant to embrace it.
The letter from the HBF stokes these concerns and highlights that, in particular, smaller builders are being shut out.
The HBF said that after the initial launch with seven major builders on board, more were expected to "quickly" join the scheme through the "cells", or bundles, of NewBuy mortgages offered by the lenders.
To this end, it supplied the CML with the names of the 130 builders who had flagged their interest. "However," the letter said, "it has become increasingly clear over the past week or so that very few home builders have heard from any of the lenders to date".
Lenders are still deliberating about the rules into entry into the "cells" through which smaller builders can access the scheme and only one is close to launching this type of cell. RBS, Nationwide and Barclays, who announced New Buy products when the scheme launched, are "clearly waiting" for Lloyds to join in April, given its key position in the market, the HBF said.
Mr Baseley told the Telegraph that he was confident the scheme would succeed. "What we have at the moment is a bunch of teething problems," he said.
However, shadow housing minister Jack Dromey said the letter exposed the scheme as a sham. "People desperately trying to get on the housing ladder will feel deceived by George Osborne and [Housing Minister] Grant Shapps."
A CML spokesman said: "The CML and lenders are working with the HBF, builders and the Government to roll it out more widely."
The Treasury confirmed it was aware of the letter and said that officials speak to lenders on an ongoing basis.
A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: ""We are all working together to quickly expand the NewBuy Guarantee, which opened for business to buyers only three weeks ago.
"There is real appetite from everyone to make this innovative and ambitious scheme a success, with lenders working as quickly as possible, and more than 130 builders expressing an interest in taking part. We remain committed to ensuring that all interested builders get selling through the scheme as soon as possible."
