Signed in as:
Cinnamon Rolls, Pecan Sticky Buns, Maple Bacon Rolls, and a daily scone flavor that come out of the oven about 9 as we open.
(8 on Saturdays during the summer.)
EVERYTHING we make is from scratch, we don't get in premade fillings or use box cake mixes. We measure out flour and butter and sugar like the cavemen used to do... that is what makes our things noticeably better.
of deliciousness, including a row of tarts and a shelf full of mini cheesecakes, all of which fly out the door.
Also in stock daily are bread puddings, cakes (see the cake page for details), and savory items (see the main page for pricing and details).
Every day you will find tarts including Lemon Tarts, Pear Tarts, Pecan Tarts, Key Lime Tarts. Often there will be chocolate mousse tarts, peanut butter tarts, fruit tarts and all winter long, perhaps into the summer there are Linzer Tarts which are a nutty spiced crust filled with jam.
Mini Cheesecakes are always on the menu, with some permanent flavors including Blueberry and Blackberry or Raspberry, Caramel, and White Chocolate/Vanilla. Some rotating flavors are Pumpkin (seasonal), Amaretto, Bailey's, etc.
Other specialties include the Bread Puddings that we make with cinnamon rolls.
Nanaimo Bars: three layers of goodness: the bottom layer is pecan, chocolate, coconut and graham, with coconut buttercream in the middle and dark chocolate spread on top.
Tosca cookies are made in layers as well. Sugar dough on the bottom, frangipane in the middle (that's buttery almond paste dough that really is the best thing in the world). Topped with almond crunch and dipped in chocolate.
Fresh and ready every morning
come out every morning around 9.
Topped with our orange-caramel cream cheese icing.
These are possibly what we are best known for other than Ice Cream.
come out at the same time as the cinnamon rolls. Ooey and Gooey, they are basically candy on a bun.
If you have never liked scones, you just have never had a good one.
They do NOT have to be dry and boring. These are basically sweet baking powder biscuits with good stuff baked in. Different days have different scones. Sometimes, Chocolate Almond, sometimes Lemon Blueberry, or a wide variety of natural filling.
Sourdough Bread is the latest thing to be added to the lineup. (as if we didn't have enough to do already ! But I was tired of the best bread I could find in town being the supermarket version of La Brea, which I found lacked the crust and chew that I like when I'm sitting down to a simple bread and cheese and wine situation)
Watch for more varieties. Multi grains are coming and I am sure John wants to make something with lots of rye flour.
Our breads are a two day process that involves a starter we acquired from a local goat farm called Sagging Fence Farm (goat milk and cheese!!), so if you want to order any ahead you can do it with a few days' notice. Now being served at the Bay Street Bistro (no longer affiliated)
These things really do fly out the door, perhaps rivaling Cinnamon Rolls as our main bakery attraction. In Caramel, Blueberry, Raspberry or sometimes Blackberry, Vanilla/white chocolate, and some rotating flavors including Bailey's, Amaretto, and seasonally Pumpkin.
Lots of folks will take several of these as a spread for their parties, along with a few tarts.
A bunch of different cookies are on all the time. There are always Chocolate Chip, triple Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and lately Monster Cookies, along with the Deep Dish cookies, that are a layer of Triple Chocolate with either Peanut Butter or Chocolate Chip. Snickerdoodle pie is a spiced dough layer and spiced version of frangipane ~ frangipan perhaps the best thing every invented: buttery almond dough. Tosca cookies kept in the case use that same frangipane dough, with almond crunch on top and dipped in chocolate.
Seasonally there are more cookies and platers, so check back!

Sooner or later, it's going to happen. You're going to make a mistake with a customer. Maybe you'll process something incorrectly, maybe you won't be able to fulfill a promise, or maybe you'll just forget to do something. Yikes! You feel terrible and wish you never had to talk to the customer again, but you know that's not an option. Now what? What can you do? Here are a few things to consider…
Forgive yourself! The first step is to realize that we are all human, and at one time or another, we are all going to make a mistake. Don't beat yourself up, as it's just not worth it. At a time like this, don't forget all that you have done right. I imagine it far outweighs the bad? Chin up. Just accept the situation and know that you will get through this if you handle things right from here on out.
Take ownership. Yes, forgive yourself when you screw up, but also take responsibility. Don't try to put the blame on others. That usually doesn't get you anywhere towards resolution and will only derail your focus on resolution. Have you ever dealt with a situation where someone made a mistake and all you heard were excuses? All I know is that, when I was on the receiving end, it only frustrated me even more. So don't do it with your customers!
Communicate to the customer ASAP! The biggest mistake you can make is waiting for the customer to come to you, or waiting until the last minute to reach out. While we all dread it, the best thing to do is get in the front of your client as soon as possible. The customer will appreciate you telling them about the error before they find out themselves. This will go a long way in keeping your relationship and in keeping their frustration to a minimum. In the world of customer success, being proactive is key. That doesn't change when it comes to mistakes.
Have a solution for the customer. You've taken responsibility and you're letting the customer know about the situation, but you can't just stop there. What can you do to make things right? Along with coming clean on your mistake, you should also have a solution or course of action to get things back on track. Don't just tell them you screwed up; tell them how you're going to fix it.
Don't let it happen again! After you realize the mistake, start thinking about what you can do to avoid it from happening again. Have you ever heard the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"? That's how I think of mistakes. It can happen once, but a second time is a serious concern. You need to learn from the mistake and take action to make sure there is never a repeat. Do you need to add a step to your process? Do you need a 2nd pair of eyes? Do you need to be better organized with your tasks? Mistakes signify that something could probably be done better, so really take a look at the whole process and determine where things need to change.
Say you are sorry! While this is the last item on this list, don't save it until the end. Saying you are sorry to a customer goes a long way. You may even think of putting it in a hand-written note. That personal touch and extra step will let the customer know that you take your error seriously and that you really do care.
Now you've gotten past this uncomfortable situation and hopefully you've learned from your mistake. If you follow these guidelines, you will be in a better position to keep the business. Mistakes are going to happen. It's how you address these mistakes that will really define your success with your customers.

For those that have a bit more time in New York City, I highly recommend stepping away from the chaos and visiting the Cloisters.
So....what the heck IS the Cloisters? Don't worry, I didn't have a clue either.
The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, located along the Hudson River in Upper Manhattan. It was about a 30 minute metro ride from Central Park (more about our stroll through Central Park here). The building itself is a rebuilt monastery, full of religious and medieval art and lovely courtyard gardens.
When we first arrived at the Cloisters, my first order of business was food. I was hangry but recovered when we bought some lunch at the little food counter and sat at a table overlooking a courtyard not unlike the one below.
Food helped to level my thinking and after our late lunch, we set out to explore the gardens and the exhibits. Here are a few of my favorite images from the afternoon.
The beautiful weather that held out for our stroll through Central Park and tour of the Cloisters gardens started to turn. When we had seen enough medieval art, we made our way through the drizzle back to the metro and ultimately, back to the apartment. We didn't stay long before we started thinking dinner...all this walking makes a girl hungry!
We walked to a small restaurant that Brigid had been talking up since my arrival in New York. Her descriptions of Luke's Lobster had me day dreaming (drooling?) about lobster rolls ALL DAY. I went with the "lobster roll, soda, chips, and pickle" option.
Good thing this place was a bit more pricey...if not for the cost, I would have wolfed down three of these bad boys. It's not even FAIR how decadent this is. Get. In. My. Belly.
Once we demolished our lobster rolls, we meandered down to the pier to look at the old boats against the modern buildings.
After a packed day, we spent the rest of the night laying low. We watched Black Fish, an exposé/documentary about one of Sea World's whales that killed people while in captivity. It tugged at my heartstrings, just like seeing elephants used in Thailand's tourism industry, and reinforced my opinion that captivity of such emotive and intelligent creatures is wrong. I went to bed promising myself that if I ever have kids, I'll be damned if I take them to Sea World. Or the zoo for that matter.

Morning Collar-Fixationalists. Doing this film star fella later in week, amongst other things. Got plenty of good suit angles lined up, shoes will be covered off, but shirts are so, so tricky when you're not getting them made. Short fix collars can be an issue, especially when you've been getting exactly what you wanted for a while. Did I mention am into pointed, closed, spear-like collars? This one is from shirt maker Sean O'Flynn of Sackville Street (click). Going to meet him soon.
There's also my very own shirt counsellor, Mr. Masood at Emmett, who's urging me to go wider, go longer with a Corleone style collar. Might do Nash, might do. Its 9.6cm longs this option and looks pretty, pretty long. Interesting that in collar scene, cms make all the difference, you cant even talk about them in inches really. A five or six inch collar is actually quite massive. Still, in the short term, this is all quite hack-er-demic.
For now the issue is how does one approach collar style in the short shirt time. Let ya know if find anything. The Lido is probably not the best place to look either.
Stubbs out.

Our Team
Nicole MAtos
Tony Matos
Mindiis Gaizauskas
Our History
After gaining project management experience with a local construction company as well as with the federal government, Nicole Matos decided to start Rivet Management Ltd in 2009.
The original plan was to focus primarily on tenant improvements and to promote that she was specifically trained as a project manager (often they can just be carpenters or tradesmen who no longer want to work with the tools). This plan was highly successful for the first year.
Rivet was able to develop a multi floor office for Rohit Group as well as develop spas and other offices as well. With the arrival of her second child in 2010 and her third child in 2012, Nicole decided to pull back a bit so she could focus on family.
Nicole and her husband Tony had previous experience flipping homes and due to this, Rivet was approached to work on some smaller residential projects. This encouraged Nicole to take schooling in design which fulfilled a childhood dream.
With her family complete, Nicole began to slowly re-introduce some larger projects and as word spread Rivet began to grow.
In 2017 Nicole's husband Tony joined the company after years of working as a warranty manager with Jayman Homes and an inspector with New Home Warranty. Tony now manages the onsite construction teams and Nicole is still actively involved with all the designs and project management.
Rivet still is very focused on the tenant improvements and also on larger residential projects. The family first philosophy still exists within Rivet which shines through when you meet our staff and influences the projects we align ourselves with. There will always be a face to go with a name at Rivet.

Your Oxford Eagles, having built it's largest lead of the night just 5 minutes into the 2nd Half at 50-30, saw Reinhardt storm back to snatch away victory from our squad. Thanks to some untimely turnovers, frigid shooting, and foul trouble for both Oxford "Bigs", Wickham and Mosso, the always young Eagles were unable to right the ship and dropped an 82-73 decision.
Led in scoring by Sophomore Robbie Wainio with 18 points and Freshman Zane Patel having 12 points, the Eagles fought hard despite a 2-1 deficit on the offensive glass and the real culprit, 16 more turnovers than their opponent.
This contest served notice that the game is never in hand until time expires. Look for the Eagles to learn and bounce back from this moving forward.

Keeping up with federal and state employment regulations is complex work for any business -- but good human resources guidance can help employers steer clear of costly lawsuits. Fortunately, the Illinois Plus is available. For years, the American Chamber of Commerce Resources HR Library has helped employers and HR personnel find answers quickly. The Illinois Plus is a comprehensive, plain English resource that helps you manage employees from pre-hire through post-termination. Written in plain English, it is authored by top labor lawyers, so you know you can trust the guidance. The Illinois Plus Compliance Library allows users to download and customize hundreds of policies and forms; maintain proper employee personnel files; and create or bolster your employee handbook. When a federal or state labor law or regulation changes, the library is updated -- and you'll receive an e-mail notice so you can easily determine what, if any, changes you need to make. Extra bonus include the HR Update (a weekly newsletter with news and trends) and hrsimple.com webinars worth credit towards SHRM-CP/SCP and HRCI certifications.Includes 4 products for $386.00
This is the type of reference material that every manager and entrepreneur should have on his or her desk. The book addresses most employee-employer questions that occur during daily operations and includes coverage of many major federal employment laws. Managers will appreciate the implementation guidelines provided on specific state laws and requirements in the state of Illinois. In my opinion, owning this book is like having your own employment legal counsel sitting with you at staff meetings and when addressing routine business practices.
Dr. Melody Wollan, Assistant professor of management, Eastern Illinois University School of Business, Charleston, Illinois
I have been in Human Resources for over 30 years. "Performance Management Strategies: Finding Common G.R.O.U.N.D." was one of the best presented, arranged, and informative webinars I have ever participated in. I wish my whole crew of supervisors and managers could have participated in it. However, with the information I received and the way it was laid out, I hope that I will be able to mock the presentation for them. You and Jamie did an excellent job in presenting this in a clear, distinctive way that was interesting and was never boring.
Dena Smith, Heartland EMS, Inc.
hrsimple.com is a must-have not only for HR professionals in the state, but for labor and employee relations professionals, employment lawyers and small business owners. It is comprehensive in scope, addressing the many legal and compliance issues that face employers from recruiting to retirement. Yet, despite the wide range of issues covered, and the complexity of those issues, information is easy to find and comprehend, avoiding much of the legal-speak that can often be difficult to interpret.

Python String
Python has a built-in string class named "str" with many useful features. String literals can be enclosed by either single or double, although single quotes are more commonly used.
Backslash escapes work the usual way within both single and double quoted literals -- e.g. \n \' \". A double quoted string literal can contain single quotes without any fuss (e.g. "I wouldn't be a painter") and likewise single quoted string can contain double quotes.
A string literal can span multiple lines, use triple quotes to start and end them. You can use single quotes too, but there must be a backslash \ at the end of each line to escape the newline.
Contents :
Initialize string literals in Python:
>>> s = "Python string"
>>> print(s)
Python string
>>> #using single quote and double quote
>>> s = "A Poor Woman's Journey."
>>> print(s)
A Poor Woman's Journey.
>>> s = "I read the article, 'A Poor Woman's Journey.'"
>>> print(s)
I read the article, 'A Poor Woman's Journey.'
>>> s = 'dir "c:\&temp\*.sas" /o:n /b > "c:\&temp\abc.txt"'
>>> print(s)
dir "c:\&temp\*.sas" /o:n /b > "c:\&tempbc.txt"
>>> #print multiple lines
>>> s = """jQuery exercises
JavaScript tutorial
Python tutorial and exercises ..."""
>>> print(s)
jQuery exercises
JavaScript tutorial
Python tutorial and exercises ...
>>> s = 'jQuery exercises\n JavaScript tutorial\n Python tutorial and exercises ...'
>>> print(s)
jQuery exercises
JavaScript tutorial
Python tutorial and exercises ...
Access character(s) from a string:
Characters in a string can be accessed using the standard [ ] syntax, and like Java and C++, Python uses zero-based indexing, so if str is 'hello' str[2] is 'l'. If the index is out of bounds for the string, Python raises an error.
>>> a = "Python string"
>>> print (a)
Python string
>>> b = a[2]
>>> print(b)
>>> a[0]
Explanation :
- The above statement selects character at position number 2 from a and assigns it to b.
- The expression in brackets is called an index that indicates which character we are interested.
- The index is an offset from the beginning of the string, and the offset of the first letter is zero.
We can use any expression, including variables and operators, as an index
>>> a = "Python string"
>>> b = a[4+3]
>>> print(b)
The value of the index has to be an integer.
>>> a = "Python string"
>>> a[2.3]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: string indices must be integers
Negative indices:
Alternatively, we can use negative indices, which count backward from the end of the
Index -1 gives the last character.
>>> a = "Python string"
>>> a[-2]
>>> a[-8]
Python strings are immutable:
- Python strings are "immutable" which means they cannot be changed after they are created
- Therefore we can not use [ ] operator on the left side of an assignment.
- We can create a new string that is a variation of the original.
>>> a = "PYTHON"
>>> a[0] = "x"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment
>>> a = "PYTHON"
# Concatenates a new first letter on to a slice of greeting.
>>> b = "X" + a[1:]
>>> print(b)
# It has no effect on the original string.
>>> print(a)
Python String concatenation:
The '+' operator is used to concatenate two strings.
>>> a = "Python" + "String"
>>> print(a)
You can also use += to concatenate two strings.
>>> a = "Java"
>>> b = "Script"
>>> a+=b
>>> print(a)
Using '*' operator:
>>> a = "Python" + "String"
>>> b = "<" + a*3 + ">"
>>> print(b)
String length:
len() is a built-in function which returns the number of characters in a string:
>>> a = "Python string"
>>> len(a)
>>> a[13]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: string index out of range
>>> a[12]
Traverse string with a while or for loop
- A lot of computations involve processing a string character by character at a time.
- They start at the beginning, select each character, in turn, do something to it, and continue until the end.
- This pattern of processing is called a traversal.
- One can traverse string with a while or for loop:
a = "STRING"
i = 0
while i < len(a):
c = a[i]
i = i + 1
Traversal with a for loop :
Print entire string on one line using for loop.
a = "Python"
i = 0
new=" "
for i in range (0,len(a)):
# + used for concatenation
new = new+b
i = i + 1
# prints each char on one line
>>> P P y Py t Pyt h Pyth o Pytho n Python >>>
String slices:
A segment of a string is called a slice. The "slice" syntax is used to get sub-parts of a string. The slice s[start:end] is the elements beginning at the start (p) and extending up to but not including end (q).
- The operator [p:q] returns the part of the string from the pth character to the qth character, including the first but excluding the last.
- If we omit the first index (before the colon), the slice starts at the beginning of the string.
- If you omit the second index, the slice goes to the end of the string:
- If the first index is greater than or equal to the second the result is an empty string, represented by two quotation marks.
>> s = "Python"
- s[1:4] is 'yth' -- chars starting at index 1 and extending up to but not including index 4
- s[1:] is 'ython' -- omitting either index defaults to the start or end of the string
- s[:] is 'Python' -- Copy of the whole thing
- s[1:100] is 'ython' -- an index that is too big is truncated down to the string length
Python uses negative numbers to give easy access to the chars at the end of the string. Negative index numbers count back from the end of the string:
- s[-1] is 'n' -- last char (1st from the end)
- s[-4] is 't' -- 4th from the end
- s[:-3] is 'pyt' -- going up to but not including the last 3 chars
- s[-3:] is 'hon' -- starting with the 3rd char from the end and extending to the end of the string.
>>> a = "Python String"
>>> print (a[0:5])
>>> print(a[6:11])
>>> print(a[5:13])
n String
>>> a = "Python String"
>>> print(a[:8])
Python S
>>> print(a[4:])
on String
>>> print(a[6:3])
>>> a = "PYTHON"
>>> a[3]
>>> a[0:4]
>>> a[3:5]
>>> # The first two characters
>>> a[:2]
>>> # All but the first three characters
>>> a[3:]
Search a character in a string:
def search(char,str):
i = 0
while i < L:
if str[i]== char:
return 1
i = i + 1
return -1
>>> 6 1 >>>
- It takes a character and finds the index where that character appears in a string.
- If the character is not found, the function returns -1.
Another example
def search(char,str):
i = 0
while i < L:
if str[i]== char:
return 1
i = i + 1
return -1
>>> 6 -1 >>>

Twins come up empty against Kansas City
The Minnesota Twins' offense had surprised a lot of people through the first few weeks of the season. A lineup that wasn't expected to score many runs entered Friday's game against the Royals with the second-most runs in baseball.
That is, until Minnesota ran into Kansas City starter Jason Vargas.
For the first time all season, the Twins were held scoreless in Friday's 5-0 loss at Kauffman Stadium. Vargas pitched seven shutout innings, while the Royals bullpen came in to toss two more scoreless innings as Minnesota's offense was shut down. The same Twins team that averaged 5.7 runs through its first 15 games simply couldn't get anything going at the plate Friday.
It was the second time already this season that Minnesota had faced Vargas. He held the Twins to two runs in seven innings last week, but one-upped that performance on Friday.
"He was very good. That's a couple times here in the last week we faced him," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "He again had his pitches working for him. His fastball, locating it really well, and a nice little curveball and then always that great changeup. He was cutting his fastball and running it away from us and kept us off balance. We didn't do too awful much against him."
The Twins finished the game with seven hits, although all seven of them were singles. It marked the first time in 16 games this season that Minnesota failed to register an extra-base hit.
And the Twins had drawn more walks than any team in baseball entering this weekend's series. But that patience at the plate was nowhere to be found Friday against the Royals, as Minnesota drew just one walk. It was just the second time this year the Twins only had one walk — the other instance came in the season opener against Chicago.
Minnesota threatened in the first inning with a pair of two-out hits by Joe Mauer and Chris Colabello, but Mauer never advanced past second base as Trevor Plouffe flew out to end the first. The Twins had just one other batter reach second base all game, and that came in the seventh inning — and again with two outs. Kurt Suzuki and Aaron Hicks picked up back-to-back singles against Vargas, yet both runners were stranded on the bases after pinch hitter Jason Kubel flew out to left to end the threat.
Vargas finished the night with four strikeouts and just one walk while scattering seven hits through seven innings. After blanking the Twins on Friday, Vargas improved to 2-0 on the year with a 1.24 ERA.
"He's been doing that for us all year," Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said of Vargas. "He comes out and pounds strikes and lets the defense work and at the same time gets the offense in there and lets us work."
Twins starter Ricky Nolasco was roughed up a bit, as he allowed five runs on 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings. But the right-hander was given no run support. Kansas City scored its first two runs in the third inning, which would have been plenty on a night in which Minnesota's offense was stymied. However, Nolasco surrendered another run in the fifth and two more in the sixth before his night was done.
Friday's game came one day after Minnesota faced Toronto in a split doubleheader. The Twins won both of those games by scoring seven runs in the matinee and nine runs in the night cap. Previously, Minnesota had scored 10 runs three different times as players like Chris Colabello, Trevor Plouffe and Jason Kubel all got off to better starts than most people anticipated.
There was no one in Minnesota's lineup Friday, however, that could do any damage offensively. Designated hitter Josmil Pinto was the only Twins player with more than one hit as he had a pair of singles. Pinto tried to stretch his first hit into a double but was thrown out by left fielder Alex Gordon at second base.
It was that kind of night for the Twins, who will try to find their bats on Saturday against soft-tossing left-hander Bruce Chen. Minnesota scored six runs against Chen just last week at Target Field.

In an SEO world were content rules all, writing quality blogs at a faster rate is a helpful tool that everyone can benefit from. The key here is QUALITY & SPEED. It is important to know that one quality blog a year or 100 poor blogs a year won't help.
Here are five tips that can certainly help you with blogging:
Break up the writing process: Starting with a blank page and no ideas may be the worst way to start writing a blog. That first sentence may often be written and rewritten nearly 10 times before you get something you like. Follow a few steps to break up your blog writing:
- Create Ideas
- Perform Research
- Plan your blog post
- Draft your blog
- Edit your blog
Plan the blogs you will write: The planning stage is extremely important if you want to push out quick content. If you have a blog idea, jot down a few bullet points you want to target during the post. This keeps you on track and makes sure you hit everything you want to. This is also crucial because if you plan your posts in advance you will never be starting on a blank page.
Write during your most creative points of the day: Some people are most creative and free flowing during the morning and some are at night. If you aren't sure what your most creative time is, try writing a few times at different points of the day.
Don't pause to look information up: A common mistake people make is taking a second break from their writing to realize they have been away for 10 minutes. When writing a post, keep writing until you are done. If you need a quick fact or URL simply make a note in your writing and move on.
Begin your next post before finishing up for the day: If you see yourself spending a lot of time just getting started, this will be very helpful. While you are already in the writing mood and mindset, simply start up on the next post. This could either be bullet pointing or planning a blog to writing the first few sentences. The next day you can simply start where you finished off.

New campaign "Validate your ticket! No excuses" for the TRAM
On November 10th, 2016, the new campaign against fraud "Validate your ticket! No excuses" for the Barcelona TRAM starts. The kick-off for the campaign was a theatre action aimed at Barcelona tramway users. The performance, run in Trambaix and Trambesòs lines, shows the excuses that users use frequently to not pay action and warns that anyone can hide behind one of these excuses. The campaign "Validate your ticket!" No excuses", which is based on the consequences of not validating the tramway ticket, will be displayed during the entire month of November at the stops, in the interior of the trams, in digital formats (web and social networks) and through radio spots.
The main goal of the campaign is to reduce the fraud in all TRAM network and, especially, in the Trambesòs lines. From DUNA, we participated in the awareness campaign with the presence of our educators to explain this information to TRAM travellers.

June 17, 2018
By Sarah Tung
At Project by Project New York (PbP-NY), we're always excited to hear inspiring stories from the Asian American community. Stories about work-life harmony, overcoming the odds, and pursuing unconventional career paths – while remembering to give back. Generosity is at the heart of it all.
How can we elevate Asian American narratives to include broader definitions of success? How can we encourage the younger generation to pay it forward?
We sat down with PINK MOON CO. founder Lin Chen to chat about how she got into the natural beauty industry, how her multicultural background has influenced her business and personal growth, and her thoughts on this year's PbP theme, immigration. She also shares her career goals and her recommended reading list.
Lin Chen is carving out her own path in the natural beauty industry, one that is unique to her skillsets and identity as a Taiwanese-American woman.
It all started with PETA.
In middle school, one of Chen's friends was an avid advocate for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)and wasted no time in sending Chen a stash of pamphlets to read. To her horror, Chen learned about animal testing in the products she consumed. She adopted a pescatarian diet, avoiding red meat and poultry for 10 years.
"I was really against wearing fur," said Chen. "My mom would buy me rabbit fur sweaters and fur jackets and I'd be like, 'I am not going to wear this.'"
Chen's mom also enjoyed buying her daughter L'Oréal products. Much to Chen's chagrin, L'Oréal conducted animal testing. She printed out a list of "approved" brands for her mom – brands that did not test on animals.
Natural beauty seemed the way to go.
According to Statistica, the market size of the natural and organic beauty industry is projected to reach $21.78 billion USD by 2024. That's an increase of almost 150% from $11.06 billion in 2016.
In college, Chen began learning more about the chemicals in her commercial beauty products, i.e. parabens, phthalates and silicones. She discovered EWG.org, the Environmental Working Group's comprehensive online database of harmful ingredients in cosmetics, sunscreen, pesticides in produce, and more.
Chen began applying to jobs in public relations, looking for roles in fashion, beauty and restaurants. She found a job on Craigslist for a "cruelty-free, vegan cosmetics company" that didn't disclose its name, and applied for it. Within a week, she nabbed an intern role there. That company turned out to be 100% Pure.
In May 2017, Chen then left Bottega Organica, where she had served as the Global Marketing and Sales Director. She had been there since 2014, and leaving the company served as the impetus to founding her own company, PINK MOON CO.
What kind of clients does she seek? Women-founded companies with sustainable practices. Chen believes in holistic wellness – for the mind, body and soul.
Initially, her mom wasn't quite on board with the idea of her daughter striking it out on her own.
"I was definitely freaking out…what am I going to tell my mom?" said Chen. "Will [my mom] think I'm a failure?"
Chen's parents are immigrants who moved to California from Taiwan in the 1970s. They were both on full scholarships for their Master's degrees. Chen's parents have always had high expectations for their children. While her brother became a doctor, Chen had something else in mind…
"Growing up, I didn't have straight A's," said Chen. "I had some pretty bad grades in high school. I wasn't very education-focused. I'm more creative."
Chen's mom advised her to go back to grad school, study to become a CPA, or apply to a big corporation. But Chen had been working at start-ups since 2013 and had no intention of returning to the corporate world.
"I was like, 'I'm going to be so unhappy,'" said Chen. "I don't want to do that. I want to be my own boss."
Instead, she built PINK MOON CO., a "strategic branding + marketing consultancy for women-founded indie eco beauty, wellness & sustainable fashion startups," according to Lin Chen's LinkedIn page.
Her foray into entrepreneurship came at the tail end of a devastating breakup. Crushed, Chen began to reevaluate her self-described "co-dependent" habits.
"That's when I woke up," said Chen. "OK, I need to really build a life for myself that I'm happy about and proud of."
A month after her breakup, she booked a trip to Norway. Her first solo trip.
"Traveling for sure opens up your mind and makes you more open-minded and accepting of other cultures and other people, thoughts and ideas," said Chen.
That global citizen mindset has served Chen well in her business endeavors. One of Chen's personal convictions is to "defy" Asian stereotypes.
In the green beauty industry, "Asians are still under the radar," says Chen. If you take Korean Beauty (or "K-Beauty") out of the equation, there's even less Asian representation. Currently there are no prominent Asian female founders. Most of the natural beauty brands' founders are white women.
Chen hopes that brands will feature more diversity soon.
"I've been telling some of my clients, 'You should show diversity on your website and feature women of color, Asian women, Indian women, and all kinds of women or men, too, on your social media pages,'" said Chen.
Recently, Chen envisioned a media campaign to highlight Asian female founders in beauty. She pitched this idea to a beauty publication but it didn't take.
Chen continues to define success on her own terms. PINK MOON CO. celebrated its one-year anniversary in May 2018.
"I'm definitely really proud of myself," said Chen. "It has taken me a long time to get to where I am and who I am today. I was taking these small steps to building my own life and building a foundation for myself."
While Chen is happy about her company's progress, she doesn't see her current success as the pinnacle.
"A big accomplishment for me would be if one of my brands got bought out by, like, Estee Lauder," said Chen.
Chen's journey demonstrates her dedication and drive. If you see a need in the world, create your own opportunity. Don't wait for others to take the initiative. Motivate others and lead the way by example. Others will follow.
Now that is something we can all aspire to.

Stanley Szwarc (1928-2011), a Polish book keeper turned metal worker and then artist after arriving in the United States, gave no indication of being particularly religious, but he did like making crosses. A prolific creator of objects from scrap stainless steel, always demonstrating over-the-top imagination, Szwarc made hundreds of crosses, if not thousands. He produced jewelry, he made crosses to be hung on the wall, and he crafted cruciform objects with no apparent use other than to be carriers of his endless combinations of geometric shapes. Szwarc liked to say that no two of his objects, be they crosses, vases, key fobs or boxes, were alike. The evidence plainly supports that contention while demonstrating a virtuosic artistic vision that could not contain itself, always seeking out fascinating ways to vary the ornamentation, to create objects of surprise, delight and striking beauty. Szwarc was one of the great self-taught artists of the 20th Century.

181mm Bear "GEN 5" Grizzly 45° Black Longboard Skateboard Trucks
The Bear Grizzly 845 Black longboard skateboard truck is one of the most versatile reverse kingpin trucks on the market. The Bear Grizzly 845 is incredibly functional on the following: a top-mount, a drop-through, a drop-deck, or double-drop. The 45 degree angle may cause wheelbite with wheels larger than 73mm. A Muirskate staff member will contact you if there are any issues while building your longboard.
The Bear Grizzly features a raked hanger which gives you a good amount of carve and leverage. The deep bushing seat creates a stable ride at high speeds. The faced hangers and clean casting make for a smooth ride and slick look.
Bear's Description
We've revamped and redesigned the Bear Grizzly 845 Longboard Skateboard truck to focus on strength, versatility and weight reduction. The 5th gen truck has a stronger heat treaded axel, revised and less restrictive bushing seat as well as a laser engraved logo. The baseplate now features an 8 hole mounting system to accommodate both old and new school drill patterns. This pattern can also be used to adjust wheelbases by an inch. We've also reduced baseplate weight by removing unnecessary material. Strength tested and engineered to perfection, the 5th Gen Grizzly 845 is an improvement on an industry standard.

In July 2011 I was fortunate enough to travel to South Sudan to experience the birth of Africa's newest nation. The country was jubulent and it was certainly an event I will never forget. While there I met some medical students struggling to become the first generation of South Sudanese doctors at The University of Juba College of Medicine.
In a country the size of France without a single paved highway and with less than 50 licensed doctors for its 10 million people, the importance of citizens like these was palpable. This lead me to create I Heart Juba MDs, a personal fundraising project to tell the students' story and help raise funds for them through the sale of custom designed t-shirts.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Wednesday was tough day for Mike Cantwell's family and friends.
They attended his funeral and buried him as police search for the suspect in his murder.
"He was such a good guy," Cantwell's brother David Cantwell said. "He'd give you the shirt off his back. You know he would do without to help you, and that's why this is all so bizarre. He goes to help someone and he ended up getting murdered."
"I saw him about one week before he lost his life. He was fine. We were just having brother talks," David Cantwell said.
Police are still searching for Jerome Roberson, the Kansas City man suspected of killing Cantwell on Nov. 2 and another man on Oct. 28. during a separate shooting at a mobile home park in Independence.
"My brother didn't know this guy, and Mike wasn't a violent person," David Cantwell said. "From what I understand, he got a phone call around 3 a.m. from a female friend who asked him to come pick her up. He hopped in his car, left his home in Independence and then drove to Kansas City trying to help her."
Police say once Cantwell arrived at a house near East 25th and Quincy, Jerome Roberson shot Cantwell in his head, killing him.
"My brother never got out of his vehicle," a frustrated David Cantwell said. "He still had $180 in his pocket, and we still don't know why this man would kill him. It was senseless. This guy needs to be stopped because if they don't catch him, he'll do it again."
"He was just a good man," Cheryl Wilkins said of the friend she knew for almost nine years. "He had a gentle, caring heart. That was Mike. He just helped everybody."
Mike Cantwell, a retired electrician and beloved grandfather, was killed three and a half weeks before Thanksgiving and his 66th birthday.
"It's just hard to deal with, and it's especially hard for my mother," David Cantwell said. "My mother is 89 years old, and it's real hard on her."
"Very hard to believe and what's even harder is that again it's just a senseless act of violence, " said John Frederick, another close friend of Mike Cantwell.
Meanwhile, a police spokesperson told FOX 4 detectives are doing everything they can to find Jerome Roberson, who they say is "armed and dangerous."
Mike Cantwell's family and friends say Roberson's arrest would give them some comfort.
"Police need to put up fliers, do everything they can to find him and any witnesses need to call the tips hotline, " David Cantwell said.

Oxford University study says large dams are uneconomical
- Details
- Published on 22 April 2014
- Written by CCMIN-AIPP
- Hits: 2634
(OXFORD, UK) Researchers at Oxford University have found that planners and policymakers systematically underestimate the costs and time required to implement large dam projects: the actual costs of large dams were 96 per cent higher than the estimate, on average, and implementation took 44 per cent longer than scheduled.
The new report thus explicitly states that large dams are not economical: "We find that even before accounting for negative impacts on human society and environment, the actual construction costs of large dams are too high to yield a positive return." The study is based on the most comprehensive economic analysis of large dams ever undertaken. "Large dams" refers to dams with a wall height in excess of 15m.
The study, which is based on a representative sample of 245 large hydropower dams built in 65 different countries between 1934 and 2007, concludes that cost and time overruns have not improved over time. The cost and time forecasts are still as wrong as they were 70 years ago.
The study cites two reasons for these immense cost and time overruns: firstly, both experts and laypersons are systematically "too optimistic about the time, costs, and benefits of a decision". Secondly, project promoters deceive the decision-makers and the public with strategic misrepresentations.
The new study was released in late March, just in time for the ASEAN Renewable Energy Week 2014, which started yesterday. Southeast Asia's Energy Ministers are meeting in Kuala Lumpur to discuss their government's future energy policies. Malaysia is also presenting and promoting its dams.
A closer look at the most recently completed hydropower dam in Malaysia, the Bakun Dam, however, shows that this dam scores worse than the average large dam. The Bakun Dam was meant to cost RM2.5 billion. While the official expenditure figures have risen to RM7.4 billion, the two scientists, Sovacool and Bulan, put the total cost of the Bakun Dam at RM15.325 billion. When construction work commenced in 1994, the dam was meant to be operational in 2003. It was actually completed in 2011, but even today, not all eight turbines are operational.
Calculations by the Bruno Manser Fund show that the time overrun at the Bakun Dam was almost 90 per cent and the cost overrun was even 200 to 500 per cent. As the Bakun Dam was financed by the federal government – mainly through the Employees Provident Fund and the Pensions Fund – Malaysia's citizens are having to pay the price for the over-optimistic forecasts of the Bakun Dam promoters.
With the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), Sarawak is implementing a whole series of uneconomical large dams of this type. The projected costs of US$105 billion for SCORE are therefore likely to rise. The proposed Baram Dam is likely to cost more than RM5 billion rather than the budgeted RM3 billion. Sarawak is playing for high stakes, while the population bears the risks.
To minimize these risks associated with large dams, the Oxford study advises countries at a lower level of economic development to implement energy alternatives that have a shorter implementation span and a smaller budget than large dams. The ASEAN Ministers meeting in Kuala Lumpur ought to take these findings seriously. The time is ripe for turning the focus away from mega-projects that involve great financial risks and moving towards small-scale energy sources that incur lower environmental and social costs.

Obama has quietly been enjoying the retired life. He had a lot to deal after taking over from George W. Bush working 8 hard years to fix America. He worked harder than expected being severely hindered by congress. While he did a lot right, in his determination to end U.S. land wars in the Middle East and South Asia, Obama significantly escalated the drone program put in place by the Bush administration and has carried out hundreds of strikes in the lawless border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan in a classified program that top officials rarely discuss publicly.
Obama has had a positive impact on the USA and in many other regions around the world. He has stood as a symbol for hope in a time when the world needed someone to lead in the right direction. As the leader of the free world, there are no easy decisions to make.
