Let's face it, attracting and maintaining a loyal customer base is one of the most important and the most difficult tasks bars or restaurants must face. It's what determines whether you sink or swim in the choppy waters of the hospitality industry. Whether you're the pride of the downtown scene, the local dive, or the new kid in town, chances are you're always hoping to see new customers entering your place when you happen to divert your gaze to the door.
Thanks to pop culture and, well... history, the minds of most would associate such people with one unifying quality, youth. But, what do you do in a world where young people (deep breath) don't go out? I know, it's a terrifying thought. And even scarier, it's now our reality. Last year, market researchers Mintel published a study detailing the growing trend of drinking at home. At the moment, millennials shockingly take the top honours when it comes to at-home alcohol consumption. So, what can you do when those who should be your best customers are spending their nights in? How can you get young people off their couches and onto your barstools?
1) A New and Improved Menu
If fidget spinners, man buns and high-waisted jeans have proven anything is that young people love their trends. Thanks to the rise of craft brewing and mixology, young drinkers largely now crave new and exciting drinks like never before. There's small additions every bar can make to keep up with the industry, and the adding some fresh new items to your menu is a great way to offer adventurous patrons the variety they crave.
If you've been in a downtown restaurant or bar recently, you're probably aware that craft beer is everywhere right now. A decade-long trend which supports grass-roots values and local business, craft beers are a great way to spice up you're drink selection and attract a newer clientele. Locally brewed craft beer is a great way to drum up business while mutually supporting local commerce. Certain spirits are also growing in popularity amongst the younger drinkers today as well. Mezcal, cousin of Tequila, is one spirit that has blown up over the past couple of years. For more spirited suggestions, be sure to check out last week's blog here!
2) Drink Deals and Specials Nights
It'll probably come as no surprise that one of the biggest influences suppressing the number of millennials in bars today is the price of going out. After all, it's 2019, the sky is blue and young people are poor.
Many would prefer to buy their own booze instead of going in on the mark-up of individual drinks. Young people are notoriously low on funds, so offering competitive drink deals speaks to them. This can be done in a strategic way to base on which clientele you wish to attract. If drink specials aren't your thing, specialty nights are a great way to attract attention. Tap takeovers or a themed drink night are easy ways to spice things up and gauge what younger folks are responding to. With either of these options, test them out and see what people respond to.
3) Community Involvement
Getting involved with your local scene is an awesome way to get young eyes on your location. It doesn't have to be complicated. Partnering with another local business, sponsoring or making your presence known at community events or hosting regular get-togethers are all awesome ways of showing pride in your community.
Generally speaking, drinkers of a younger demographic are conscious consumers; more eager to offer their business to those who display their support of shared values. Getting involved with your community offers great exposure while highlighting your pride in your town.
4) Social Media and Influencers
Hot take: social media is really good for marketing small businesses. But just having a Facebook page for your bar isn't enough anymore. Today, maintaining well-managed social media platforms (yes, plural) is one of the most important things a business can do because of its incredible promotional ability.
First and foremost, a great social media page offers your audience and new customers their first look at your bar, which forms their first impressions. Speaking from experience, I know that deciding on a place to go on a night out often requires a deal of deliberation. Considering the fact that many young people know going out is also a costly business, it makes sense to say that they'd be more inclined to visit a place it they know what to expect.
So, millennials are obviously on a budget and maybe you are too. Social media offers an awesome way to easily communicate with your audience for free. New drink deals? Events to promote? Posting news like this to your social media is a great way to spread the word amongst your patrons. But it isn't enough to blast a message out there and hope it reaches the right eyes. It's also critical to put effort into making your page a place where people want to look.
5) User Generated Content
Speaking of social media, chances are if you happen upon young patrons, you'll see phones in their hands and Instagram pictures or Snapchat stories somewhere the next day. This customer content is an awesome way to gauge the response of your clientele.
A fun atmosphere and good-looking drinks are eye-candy for social media followers of all types, so it'd be worth the effort to make a bar "Instagram-able". Reposting your customers photos (with credit) is also a great way to engage with your clientele. Plus, if they're posting pictures of your drinks, you've already made the sale, so why not run with that ball? It's a small effort that can make a huge difference.

I also had liver trouble as a child and now I have to make sure I'm not doing anything to hurt it.
Even for the emotional stuff, a lot of it can be scarring. You can move on and become stronger from it, but that isn't always the case for everyone.
I believe that while my misfortunes are bad and are only going to get worse, this will be a bad period for my life and things will get better. I'm not necessarily stronger or better from these things, but I will get over them, which is not necessarily the same.0

Fun Fact: When you actively avoid being "PC," you're not being forward-thinking or unique. You're buying into systems of oppression that have existed since before you were even born, and you're keeping those systems in place."

I agree. If you can reconcile with the past then it can make you stronger.Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not;
and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.

I got married very young and divorced 8 years later. It was a dirty, messy divorce. I was a complete wreck.
I learned so much about myself during that period that DID make me a stronger person. What I learned has certainly helped me lead a better, happier life.0

This is what I was going to state. I lost my 13 year old sister when I was 11, but i'm living today and I no longer feel the need to cry when I hear her name. It's such a common name, and with John McCains VP pick it's a name I hear all too often now.
You can only learn from experiences, whether they are good or bad. They make you alert and aware of something you never would have thought of before, and you can pass on that wisdom to others. So yes,

slinky1 Banned Posts: 1,612Banned UsersOr jaded.
Unfortunately, I don't think that the things I have gone through have made me stronger or a better person. I feel as though I know too much about how awful life/people can be. Small episodes of the contrary aren't enough to change that.
I don't think that everything happens for a reason, or that every human has worth. I don't believe that we are all unique and special...just mostly similar and replaceable, and often a burden. I don't have the slightest clue why we're even here.

Bradford is 40, Suzanna Carr is 39, Laci is 6, Lilly is 3 simlonic months old.
The McMillian house was full of noises this fall. The sound of Laci and Alan playing in the backyard blended in with Lilly's cries for more milk and the laughter of the two happily in love parents.
A new sound joined the family that fall, the sound of the previous meal leaving Suzanna's stomach. She knew that they were pregnant right away. They had been trying almost as soon as Lilly was born.
Laci took the news very well.
"Another baby? That's so cool! Will it be a boy this time? I don't mind a baby brother, but I like baby sisters the best."
"We'll have to see when the baby arrives," Bradford explained standing up to sit on the much more comfortable couch.
"Please, please can it be a baby sister? Maybe twin baby sisters like cousin Veronika?" Laci begged.
Suzanna lifted her weary body off the floor as well. The thought of twins hadn't crossed her mind until then.
"We'll see, Laci."
"Oh, thank you!" she said hugging the woman. "I have to tell Veronika!"
"Wait, Laci. You will be able to tell Veronika when they come over for Blessed Harvest Day."
"But I want to tell her now. She said that auntie Fiona and uncle Jesse brought her a new easel and that it cost a lot of money, but I don't care anymore since I'm going to get another baby sister-maybe even twin baby sisters and they cost more than a stupid easel, right daddy?"
"Eh, yes, babies do cost more than an easel."
"Please can I call her and tell her now?"
"Not now, tomorrow. Now, it's almost bedtime, so why don't you feed Alan and Mr. Wombat and Ms. Birdie?"
"Yea, a pretty picture please."
"All my pictures are pretty."
"I know. Maybe a picture of a flower, like the one you did in art class."
"Guess what?"
"My daddy and mommy are having a baby."
"You mean Lilly?"
"No, another baby."
"Another baby. Are you happy?"
"Yea, Lilly is ok. She cries a lot and smells funny, but not as funny as Alan. Mommy said that when she gets older she will be more fun. She's fun now if you play with her in her swing. She giggles and sometimes Alan comes in and licks her toes and then she giggles so loud that Mr.Wombat runs around his cage in circles. Whay don't you have any pets?"
"I asked my parents for a puppy, they said that I have two little sisters and that's all the pets I need."
Downstairs the adults were enjoying thier meal and discussing recent events.

Alliance Defending Freedom, an anti-LGBTQ conservative advocacy organization, is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a lawsuit challenging a Pennsylvania school district's policy allowing transgender students to access restrooms and locker rooms matching their gender identity.
In a petition for a writ for certiorari filed with the Supreme Court, Alliance Defending Freedom asks the court to resolve two issues regarding the Boyertown Area School District's transgender policy.
The first deals with whether a public school has a compelling interest in allowing gender-variant students to use facilities matching their gender identity, and whether such a policy is narrowly tailored.
The second issue deals with whether the policy violates transgender students' rights under Title IX, which prohibits discrimination "based on sex" in educational settings.
Alliance Defending Freedom has argued that the Boyertown's policy violates the bodily privacy of cisgender students by forcing them to share facilities with transgender students, and constitutes a form of "sexual harassment."
ADF has also urged the court to declare that transgender students are not protected by Title IX.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals previously upheld a lower court's ruling that ADF's lawsuit should be thrown out, finding that Boyertown's policy did not disadvantage cisgender students who are uncomfortable sharing facilities with transgender children in the same way that the lack of a policy harmed transgender children barred from living according to their gender identity.
"Policies that exclude transgender individuals from privacy facilities that are consistent with their gender identities 'have detrimental effects on the physical and mental health, safety, and well-being of transgender individuals,'" the 3rd Circuit wrote in its opinion.
The 3rd Circuit justices also noted that Boyertown's policy does not force any student to disrobe in the presence of any other student, and offers additional privacy options for those who request them, regardless of gender identity.
LGBTQ advocates argue that the lawsuit is trying to undermine what few protections are in place for transgender students at schools throughout the nation.
"Boyertown schools chose to be inclusive and welcoming of transgender students two years ago. Now anti-LGBTQ extremists are asking the Supreme Court to rule that local school districts like Boyertown are not only wrong, but prohibited by the Constitution from doing the right thing," Ria Tabacco Mar, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement. "Their claim that transgender students are a threat to others is offensive and not supported by the evidence in Boyertown or schools around the country.
"Today's filing is part of a larger pattern of attacks against the transgender community, including from the Trump administration," Mar added. "But transgender people won't be erased. We will continue to fight for transgender students with everything that we have — including at the Supreme Court."

As a student of Ashley at his Shukokia Karate Dojo (school) I can highly recommend and fully endorse Ashley both as a person and as a Sensei (Teacher)
He has a great depth of knowledge and technical ability in his given Martial Art (Shukokia) Karate
Ashley comes to the fore when teaching students of all ages (4-60yrs) and abilities, putting his students at ease and making the Dojo a fun place to be whilst engaging and endorsing this disciplined martial art.
I would fully recommend his teachings to all students looking to take up Karate be it as a chosen sport or just a pathway to health and fitness.

My son was showing an interest in joining a Karate club, so after a quick search for clubs in the Hull area I managed to find Karate Hull. After attending the first session we knew immediately that we had chosen the right dojo. Sensei Ashley creates a welcoming yet disciplined environment in which to train and some how manages to focus his attention across the wide range of abilities, from the complete novice through to those who are very accomplished. My son has now managed to pass his first grading and is loving every session.

I contacted hull karate about 3 years ago because my son was asking to do karate. After talking with sensei Ashley he convinced me to join with Nico ,and I must admit I was slightly nervous due to muscle spasms in my neck from an old gym injury . But 3 years on, Nico and I have just got our brown belts ,training twice a week and guess what, no more neck problems. I can only put this down to all the stretching and my improved core body strength. Nicos confidence has also grown over the years too and we both have met some really nice friends, so get fit destress and do shukokai it's a great way to exercise and have fun . Cheers

I Couldn't Imagine Training Anywhere I joined Karate-Hull at the age of 35. I wasn't sure what I would be walking in to but I can say I love it! Sensei Ashley is a very approachable guy and his training style is excellent.
The lessons are hard work and you definitely get out what you put in. Since training I have noticed a definite increase in: cardio fitness, flexibility, coordination, strength, power, self-defence and stress release! (and I've only been doing it 6 months!)
Everyone is very friendly and always willing to lend a hand. You train with a mixture of ages and abilities. The lessons are hard work but good fun too.

Big karate fan!, Cottingham
I studied Karate many years ago and decided to give it another go. I couldn't have found a more friendly, accepting and well structured Dojo to restart my journey in.
Don't get me wrong, the sessions can be very tough and you'll certainly know you've been training the morning after but if you are serious about wanting to learn Karate, want to meet like minded, friendly people and feel great about achieving personal goals you never thought possible, come join the party at Karate Hull.
Ashley is an awesome Sensai. He has just the right mixture of professionalism and masochism that makes learning Karate fun and constructive at the same time.

I'm 15 years old and I live in hull
I joined the Hull Karate club at the age of 57 as a way to keep fit, but found the lessons so interesting in the way they are taught by Sensei Ashley, in a relaxed but very professional way, there is no pressure on you, learning is at a speed which suits you and your ability but you will be surprised how much you enjoy learning the syllabus and belt grading's
I also found the other students very warm, welcoming and helpful no matter what grade of belt they are they always have time to show and assist me when I have asked for help and advise, I have made many friends through the club and would highly recommend
Karate HUll club to anyone who is thinking of taking up Karate as a highly interesting and fulfilling martial Art, or as I did just as a way to keep fit but now enjoy learning and grading.

text: Lord Jesus, We read in this section of your betrayal at the hands of Judas. Judas walked with you, prayed with you, listened to you teach, and yet somehow still opened his heart to the forces of evil. I pray that ______________________ and I will keep constant watch over our souls that we may never allow Satan any foothold in our lives. Especially protect us from betraying any of your purposes through greed. Lord, we see how the divine purposes of your Father were being worked out even through Judas' betrayal. Although Satan had entered his heart, his actions simply played into your Father's plan for you to be offered as the Passover Lamb for our sins. We ourselves at one time or another may be betrayed by someone close to us, someone who has been in our inner circle, someone we trusted and treated as a friend. I pray that you will enable us to see that your sovereign plan for our lives cannot be thwarted even by the most stunning betrayal.

Trixter guitarist Steve Brown has been recruited to stand in for Def Leppard star Vivian Campbell as the rocker completes his cancer treatment.
The Pour Some Sugar on Me hitmaker announced he would be taking some time away from the group to undergo stem cell treatment in his continuing battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, so his bandmates asked Brown to fill in.
The Trixster star made his debut with the band on Sunday (28Sep14) as part of the pre-game festivities before the American football clash between the Oakland Raiders and the Miami Dolphins in London.
Brown will also perform as part of Def Leppard at the group's upcoming concerts in California.
Campbell hopes to return to the band with a clean bill of health next year (15).

Facts about modern sea-criminals who are often called "pirates".
Throughout the history times of war and poverty always had big effect on the creation of pirate activity. This effect can even today be observed of the coast of Somalia, where instable governments, civil wars and widespread poverty and crime created the need for massive pirate fleets that endanger the lives of thousands each year.
Piracy was almost always a lifestyle choice that men partake in, but during the history of piracy and Age of Sail naval combat, several women managed to become part of that society. Learn more about female pirate here.

Invitation: Helena Norberg-Hodge
Helena Norberg-Hodge (ISEC/Local Futures) writes:
"I have seen how the global economy destroys people's fundamental relationships with one another and the Earth by breaking down interdependent local economies.
"To counter this, I believe that we need community and political engagement in the form of resistance and renewal – resistance to further globalisation, along with the renewal of localised systems in food, energy, finance and other sectors of the economy. I'm convinced that this is the most strategic path towards genuine sustainability".
She sends an invitation to the forthcoming Economics of Happiness conference in Bristol, October 19-21.
ISEC is working in collaboration with Happy City and the former mayor of Bristol. Jonathan will be chairing.
Helena explains: "Localization is not about eliminating international trade, or reducing all economic activity to a village level, but about shifting the power from transnational corporations to nation states, while simultaneously building up regional self-reliance".
Two Local Futures initiatives: Planet Local and the International Alliance on Localization
Planet Local is a web series showcasing inspiring localization initiatives from around the world. The series highlights diverse examples of localization in action in such areas as community renewable energy, local food and farming, local economy, eco-villages, alternative education, radical democracy, the local commons, and more. Planet Local demonstrates that the movement for localization is broader and more diverse than many people realize, manifesting as a powerful mosaic of small-scale solutions happening on a planet-wide scale. The series aims to inspire a politics of hope, grounded in actual existing projects that too often go unnoticed by the mainstream media.
People and groups from 58 different countries have joined the International Alliance
The International Alliance for Localisation (IAL) was originally conceived as a way to formalise and expand this informal network of groups and individuals who are working on issues that fall under the broad umbrella of this global-to-local shift network. The hope is that the IAL will help to catalyse a powerful global movement for localisation.
The general public and even most local groups themselves are often unaware that they are, in fact, part of a rapidly growing worldwide localisation movement. We believe that linking together these groups that are currently operating in isolation can greatly strengthen them all.
Here are some of the key individuals who have been part of the consensus-building process:
- Michael Shuman, one of the first economists to promote localisation;
- Camila Moreno, a Brazilian trade and agriculture activist;
- Bayo Akomolafe, a Nigerian writer, researcher and storyteller;
- Manish Jain, an 'unlearning' advocate and co-founder of India's Swaraj University;
- Carlo Sibilia, a member of Italy's 5 Star Movement;
- Keibo Oiwa, a leader of Japan's 'Slow Life' movement;
- Yoji Kamata, founder of the Ancient Futures Association of Japan;
- Charles Eisenstein, author of Sacred Economics and The Ascent of Humanity;
- Judy Wicks, co-founder of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies);
- Carol Black, director and editor of the film Schooling the World;
- Richard Heinberg, 'peak oil' expert and author;
- Ross Jackson, founder of the Global Ecovillage Network;
- and Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance.
The mission of the IAL is two-fold: to facilitate dialogue and collaboration among the multitude of groups and individuals who are engaged in grass-roots localisation initiatives; and also to enable this diverse localisation movement to speak with a more unified voice in resistance to further globalisation – one loud and powerful enough to break through the 'noise' of corporate-dominated political and economic discourse.
A message from Colin Hines
Colin shares his Guardian letter and hopes that readers will blog or forward on email the link at the foot of this page
Policies geared to achieving more job security, a decrease in inequality and protection of the environment
The rise in right wing populism seen in Italy's election result shows the need for 'progressive protectionism', nurturing and rebuilding local economies through the permanent reduction in the level of international trade in goods, money and services, and enabling nation states to control the level of migration that their citizens desire.
The first step to an effective response by progressives to the rising tide of rightwing populism in Italy and elsewhere (Editorial, 6 March) is to realise that ever more open borders are the problem. It was predominantly the opposition to inadequately controlled immigration that resulted in the Italian election result, the Brexit vote and Donald Trump's election.
Ed: Stan Labovitch in the next letter agrees: "In order for "progressives" to prevail, they need to understand rather than condemn the electorate, who fear unemployment and the never-ending flow of asylum seekers through Italy's southern flank. The opulence that we tourists see in Sorrento, Venice or Rome, is not the experience of many Italians".
The other contributing factor was globalisation, with its job-destroying and far-too-open borders to goods such as steel. Lastly, inadequately constrained flows of capital and financial services assisted in the economic crash of 2008. The only counter will be some form of protectionism.
Trump's threatened trade war over steel (Report, 5 March) is the wrong kind of 1930s-style one-sided protectionism. He wants to curb imports that cause domestic unemployment, but at the same time plans to use all possible leverage to open up foreign markets to US exports.
To avoid a re-run of the 1930s will require a very different "progressive protectionism". This could benefit all countries by nurturing and rebuilding local economies through the permanent reduction in the level of international trade in goods, money and services, while enabling nation states to control the level of migration that their citizens desire.
This approach can return a sense of optimism to the majority through championing policies geared to achieving more job security, a decrease in inequality and protection of the environment.

News from Helena Norberg-Hodge
Helena sends news that Local Futures has gathered a cross-cultural, North-South network of thinkers, activists and NGOs – the International Alliance for Localization (IAL).
It already has members from over 30 countries.
The Local Futures website records that Helena, who trained as a linguist with Chomsky, has delivered her message in English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Ladakhi.
You are asked to consider joining forces with IAL – 'the time seems ripe'.
In the wake of the Paris climate talks, Local Futures has released a 16 page action paper entitled Climate Change or System Change? (left).
It argues that globalization – the deregulation of trade and finance through an ongoing series of "free trade" treaties – is the driving force behind climate change.
The climate problem can only be tackled effectively if governments stop subsidising globalisation, and begin pursuing a localisation agenda instead.
A recording of Local Futures' first webinar, with community economist Michael Shuman and Helena Norberg is now uploaded on YouTube.
In this event, recognised pioneers of the localisation movement – community-economist and author, Michael Shuman and Helena – explored localisation as a systemic solution-multiplier that simultaneously lowers CO2 emissions, restores democracy and provides secure livelihoods.
The conversation identified proven strategies that strengthen local economies including the need for an international movement for localization.
Climate Change or System Change? will be the focus of the second international webinar in January, as part of the Global to Local webinar series. More information will follow soon.

BERKELEY (KPIX) — A crowdfunding campaign to raise $70,000 for a Berkeley man at risk of losing the home he has owned for 45 years, has gone viral.
By Thursday evening, a campaign to keep Leonard Powell, a veteran and retired postal worker, in his South Berkeley home, had raised more than $77,000.
Powell said the house is full of memories for him.
He and his wife raised six kids in the home and she died there in 1997.
After her death, he said his home fell into disrepair. In 2015, Powell said city of Berkeley officials entered his home and told him he would need to make massive repairs.
"They brought city code enforcement. Guy comes in my house and starts finding all these discrepancies," said Powell.
The problems ranged from wiring to plumbing and heating. Powell said he scrambled to make fixes, enlisting his sons to update the house but they weren't making the changes fast enough and, in 2017, a judge appointed a receiver, Gerard Keena.
Powell, still the legal owner of the home, was forced to leave his home while Keena made renovations for which Powell would ultimately be responsible. Powell said once the renovations got under way, he became concerned.
"It was obvious that they were doing work that I could not afford to cover," he said. "Italian tile in both kitchens, $1,200 stoves, $1,000 refrigerators, marble counter tops, red-oak hardwood floors."
Once renovations were complete, Powell said he owed roughly $600,000.
Powell's neighbor, Margy Wilkinson, a member of the community group Friends of Adeline, said she believes Keena remodeled the property in hopes of taking over ownership and making a profit.
"[Keena] remodeled the home not for Mr. Powell but to make it a saleable item," said Wilkinson.
KPIX 5 reached out to Mr. Keena to get his side of the story but he did not return a call or e-mail.
Wilkinson said Friends of Adeline began working with Mr. Powell, sorting through paper work with him and attending court hearings. Another friend helped Powell obtain a $600,000 owner-occupied loan with the Veterans Administration. But Wilkinson said that, when Powell went back to court, it still wasn't enough.
"He's told that [he owes] another $70,000 and that it's increasing," said Wilkinson. The additional fees, Powell said, were charged by the receiver to pay staff and cover insurance and storage fees.
To help pay the fees, Wilkinson and Friends of Adeline set up a GoFundMe account for Powell. Within a week and a half, it went viral, surpassing its goal.
"Wham! It mushroomed," said Powell. "I am more than grateful."
On Twitter, Berkeley mayor Jesse Arreguin encouraged people to donate to Powell and clarified, "The city is not trying to take his home. The court appointed receiver is. I have pleaded with the court to work with Mr. Powell to keep his house and we are working on a fair resolution for him to stay housed."
Wilkinson said she is "cautiously optimistic" that Powell will be allowed to return to his home soon. Powell's next court appearance is scheduled for March 11. He said he won't be confident he'll be allowed to return home until he hears it from a judge.

The landmark events, which took place from 18-20 July in the heart of the city state, welcomed 3,000 trade visitors and over 160 global suppliers from 21 countries across the continent and beyond, cementing the city's position as a global player in the world of hospitality.
The SFFA and RPB, organised by Fresh Montgomery, have already proved popular fixtures in the British foodie calendar, with SFFA running in the UK for the past 17 years. But this year, the events team headed East to highlight the rapid growth of Asia's food and hospitality sectors.
Acclaimed chefs, sommeliers, tea masters, baristas and bartenders led the way with live demonstrations, while leading figures from the global hospitality circuit shared their wisdom in a range of mentoring sessions and panel talks.
At the SFFA, live cooking highlights came courtesy of chefs from newly minted Michelin-starred restaurants, Han Li Guang (Labyrinth) and Sam Aisbett (Whitegrass), who walked the crowd through their signature dishes alongside headline act Ray Adriansyah – owner of Bali's award-winning restaurant Locavore.
Adriansyah said that the inaugural SFFA fair accomplished a great deal for Singapore's hospitality industry. "It brought together fine food and drink producers from all over the world for a remarkable and enriching time."
Meanwhile, commenting on the festivities at RPB, Adrian Lim, managing director of Silver Bullet Consortium said Southeast Asia's bar and restaurant scene has rapidly become: "extremely lively and vibrant, and RPB Asia was a great platform for us to reach out with other key buyers such as restaurant owners, importers and even bartenders."
"There was a nice mix of industry players at the show and our products attracted a lot of interest from global buyers. We can't wait to see what next year's edition has in store for our business," said Fresh Montgomery portfolio manager Soraya Gadelrab,
Soraya Gadelrab added: "As the focal point of the Southeast Asian F&B trade show scene, the SFFA & RPB Asia will be back for a second run next year from 17-19 July 2018 and it will be an even better and bigger showcase of artisan and high-quality products."

Chinese TV series become a hit in Africa
A stage photo from Chinese TV series A Beautiful Daughter In Law Era. [File Photo]
More and more Africans are falling in love with Chinese TV series and movies, as an increasing number of them are dubbed for broadcast into English, French, Swahili and Hausa.
Chinese TV series such as Beautiful Daughter-in-Law, The Young Doctor and The Ordinary World, along with movies such as Love is Not Blind and Miss Granny and The Left Ear, are all hits among African viewers. The most popular TV series are family dramas that reflect modern urban life in China, according to Zhang Junqi, chief executive officer of the Kenyan branch of Startimes, a digital television programming provider.
Zhang made the remarks during the 7th Africa Digital TV Development Seminar, an event organized to explore and discuss the development of Africa's digital television industry. The seminar was held in Beijing from May 22 to 23. TV and radio broadcast managers from 42 African countries and four Asian countries attended the event.
Chinese digital television enterprises have worked hard to promote the development of digital TV in Africa, providing high-quality television programs to African subscribers for low prices. Since setting up shop in Africa in 2007, Startimes has broadcast to more than 30 African countries and collected nearly 10 million subscribers, Startimes President Pang Xinxing said.
A Tanzanian villager named Mohammed Shamali confirmed that without the help of Chinese enterprises, he and his fellow villagers couldn't afford to watch all the programs they enjoy.

Large Employers Court Would-Be Parents With Fertility Benefits
Many large enterprises are now offering fertility services as part of their benefits packages in an effort to appeal to employees who want to start families, SHRM's Stephen Miller reports:
A recent study by the nonprofit International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP) in Brookfield, Wis., shows that among large employers (those with 500 or more employees):
- Nearly a quarter (24 percent) now offer fertility services as part of their health care benefits.
- 19 percent cover in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.
- 12 percent cover fertility medications.
- 9 percent cover non-IVF fertility treatments.
Smaller numbers cover visits with counselors (genetic, surrogacy, etc.), at 6 percent, or egg harvesting/freezing services, at 4 percent. … Fertility services are more common among employers that have at least 500 employees … Only 4 percent of employers with fewer than 50 employees offer fertility services. Employers with a self-funded health plan are also more likely to offer fertility services than those with insured plans.
These findings, Miller adds, are consistent with SHRM's own benefits data. Fertility benefits may be an effective way to send a family-friendly signal to employees and prospective employees, especially if coupled with generous parental leave and flexible work offerings for parents. However, as we've discussed before, employer-sponsored fertility programs can raise ethical concerns about employee privacy, especially when these programs involve apps that collect data about users' fertility and share it with their employers.

How would you like to get your hands on a big ol' blaster from Warframe? What would you do with it? Some here at MOP certianly wouldn't mind having that chance! Digital Extremes took to the streets of the Big Apple to offer folks an opportunity to model a massive weapon for photographers. Of course, there were some hidden elements that the unsuspecting participants were not aware of, to some hilarious results. The whole set up was a prank to capture their reactions to a using the weapon out in public. And use it they did. Talk about itchy trigger fingers! You can watch all those picture-perfect responses in the video. Which is your favorite?
We'd been wondering what exactly that NYC photoshoot was about, and now we know.

Law-Now Zones provide expert analysis on specialist topics
"Special circumstances" must exist for limited partners (LPs) to bring a claim against a third party in the name of the limited partnership, for instance, an irreconcilable conflict of interest which means the general partner (GP) cannot or will not institute proceedings itself on behalf of the limited partnership. However, conducting litigation constitutes "management" and therefore puts those LPs who pursue any claim in the shoes of the GP, and consequently with unlimited liability for all the debts and obligations of the limited partnership for the period of the claim.
Some key points which arose in a recent High Court judgment are as follows:
The recent case also raised some interpretation points on investment parameters in fund documents and on parties' rights to be indemnified.
Claims were initiated in December 2011 by a number of pension scheme trustee investors against the GP and manager (both Henderson group companies) in Henderson PFI Secondary Fund II (the Fund). The claims related to breach of mandate and misrepresentation over the way money raised for the Fund was invested (and which subsequently resulted in significant losses). A hearing in November 2012* on preliminary issues generally found in favour of the Fund.
A derivative claim – what it is and how it can be brought
The claimants, some of the LPs in the Fund, asked the court if they could pursue derivative claims against the GP and the manager. The classic example of a derivative claim is by a minority shareholder who seeks to bring an action on behalf of a company against wrongdoers who are in control of the company. In the case of a limited partnership, it would involve the LPs pursuing the GP and the manager in the name of the limited partnership. The claimants wanted to do this without potential liability for the debts of the limited partnership or the costs of the actions.
The table below summarises the outcome in respect of the claims brought against the GP and the manager in the Fund.
Claim against the GP
Claim against the manager
The claim was that the GP had breached its obligations under the limited partnership agreement and in equity.
The claim was that the manager had breached its duties under the management agreement.
It was held that each LP can bring an individual contractual or fiduciary claim against the GP under the LPA.
It was held that the claim against the manager was a partnership asset (the management agreement was entered into by the GP on behalf of the limited partnership) and could not be pursued by the LPs individually.
There was therefore no need for a derivative action.
There were sufficient "special circumstances" for the LPs to bring a derivative action against the manager on behalf of the limited partnership (see below).
Pursuing individual claims under the LPA does not amount to "management" under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907.
Pursuing a derivative claim in the limited partnership's name involves supplanting the GP and constitutes "management" under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 (and as provided for in the Fund LPA). Consequently the LPs would be liable as if they were the GP for the period of the claim.
The claimants had to cover their own costs.
Fund documents often allow the investors to remove the GP (for instance, on a 75 per cent vote) and appoint a replacement. This seems a sensible option where there is an inescapable conflict with the incumbent GP taking action against group companies (in the case of the Fund, the manager) on the limited partnership's behalf. This recent case, however, highlights that there may be valid commercial reasons not to do this. For example:
Claims for losses limited – Springwell and Peekay
The decisions in the Springwell and Peekay cases (2009 and 2006 respectively) provide that if sophisticated parties enter into an investment contract governed by English law, the English courts will uphold the certainty of that contractual bargain.
As a result, if the contractual documents say that the investor has not relied on any pre-contractual representations; has understood the risks of the investment; and has determined whether the investment was suitable for it, the scope for the investor to argue otherwise at a later date will be limited.
Although the hearing in respect of the Fund raises different issues, the judge did note that the parties were of equivalent bargaining power and were sophisticated commercial entities, illustrated by the existence of side letters.
The claimants' argument in this case was that the investment solely in John Laing plc, a public listed company which specialised in projects arising out of PFI and other infrastructure projects, was outside the Fund's investment objective – investing in a portfolio consisting exclusively or principally of PFI concession companies. However, the judge disagreed with this and would not narrow the investment policy wording in the Fund LPA by importing concepts of proportionality from other ancillary documentation (the private placement memorandum).
The judge was also satisfied that both the GP and the manager were indemnified under the Fund LPA exculpation provisions in the event of any breach by them of the LPA or management agreement "arising in connection with the services to be performed hereunder" and that this would only not bite in the case of negligence or other culpable conduct. In other words, the indemnity applied in respect of the allegations of the parties exceeding their investment or borrowing powers.
This is an important area of law and there will be many investors in the existing economic climate who will be considering whether and how it is possible to recover losses from third parties including GPs and managers. The merits of each case will depend on its facts but the present message from the English courts is that claims against third party fund managers will need to be advanced with caution.
Whether you are a GP or an LP, we would be happy to discuss with you any issues you may have in relation to existing or potential investments in the light of the issues discussed above.

Journalism: The first "message" received is the one remembered, even if later proven as false.
Reports of a polar bear spray painted with "T-34" on its side were greatly exaggerated. The tagging was done by scientists, not pranksters. The bear had been rummaging a garbage dump and scientists wanted to see if it was returning. They tagged it with a short duration ink; this was not graffiti by pranksters as initially reported. Typical of this type of report, the original source for the video was unknown, the back story was unknown, and the video was shared on social media by an environmental activist. Media then used social media as a primary source. What could possibly go wrong?
