Stories improve the stickiness of communication and many companies fail to do that. Whenever you tell companies to use stories, they kind of start thinking what kind of stories to be used. It should always be personal stories that are short with a defined business objective. How do you come up with such personal stories or for that matter where do you look for such personal stories will be addressed in this session.
This session would cover the importance of stories in business communication. However, lot of people think that it is an artistic pursuit to come up with stories and my belief is that it is not so. This session would uncover the value of using personal stories in a corporate setting and a few examples of it would be covered. It would also discuss some simple steps to identify or create such personal stories to be used in a corporate setting
None whatsoever, except the interest to better the stickiness of your communication
Speaker bio
Squirrels, Rabbits and Elephants fascinate me the most and I study their characteristics deeply. I use a number of stories that involves these animals in my day-to-day work. I believe that by now you would have figured out that I do storytelling for a living.
All of us keep telling stories in our day-to-day lives. We tell stories about our children, colleagues, our day, our travel etc. but we just don't call them stories. There is a lot to learn and share from these personal stories.
For me, an example is a story, an anecdote is a story, a conversation between two people is a story, timelines about a person is a story. This would allow people to communicate and connect effectively with their audience. The advantage of stories is that it becomes easy to understand, easy to remember and easy to re-tell - essentially it improves the stickiness of your communication.
I do purpose driven stories for organizations through my workshops, where I help companies in evolving their value proposition, positioning, differentiators, and in creating sales worthy and PR worthy stories that they can take to their target segments. I facilitate storytelling workshops for organizations helping them in achieving their communication goals.
I have expertise in services marketing, marketing communication, sales process, pre-sales, team building and mentoring. My 15 years or experience coupled with storytelling delivers immense value to my customers.
I also maintain a very active storytelling blog at http://telltaleclub.com, where a number of people contribute stories regularly. Do have a look at it and see if you want to contribute.

[-] Sabapathy Narayanan 7 years ago
Vijay, Not very similar, however the premise is the same which is the power of stories in business communication. Many people find it difficult to create stories and my talk would focus on how to find personal stories and use them in business environment advantageously. Saba.

We've heard so much about Filmore & Union in York and gone past its beautiful shop front multiple times on our countless traipses around town ; we finally found time during one of our last weeks to take a look, and boy were we impressed. Filmore & Union is one of those sustainable, gluten-free, vegetarian-friendly places that makes you feel like you're eating as part of a greater movement (okay, exaggerations but you get my drift). Everything feels wholesome and there are all these small touches to the place that make you feel right at home. The interior is lovely, as you can see – perfect for just nursing a drink or a bowl of soup, lounging on the quaint furnishings and watching the world go by.
The place occupies two levels, and if you go up to the top floor and sit right by the window the sunlight will filter in, in a very perfect way (:

I've been playing around with hexagons of late.
The first is, i suppose, hooh4oHHo&#tq. H here is q*h = sqrt(6). It's a bevelled square prism, such that the top and bottom become squares, the vertices being on the mid-points of the original squares, and the rectangles are converted into hexagons.
As a vertex figure, this leads to a tiling, with four {4,6} and two {6,4} at the vertex, and eight hexagon-prisms, which serve to connect {6,4}, in pairs.
I have not walked enough of this figure as yet, but the edge is quite large: it's nearly four times the edge of {5,4}, for instance.

Finished my first non-Brothers Karamazov book. It was the highly acclaimed Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret. Like a lot of people, I was intrigued by this book from watching the crown, where Margaret sort of steals the show.
Side note: many of the people in this book would have felt comfortable around Pyotr Karamazov and the Windsors might rival the Karamazovs in dysfunction.
It's gotten a ton of positive recognition. It made the NY Times 100 notable book list, NPR, and several others.
I enjoyed it fine. I ended up giving it 3-stars…but I enjoyed it. One thing I recognized from reading the book is that while those of us here in the US we've come to bemoan the rise of our TMZ-infused celebrity culture, that kind of thing has been going on a long time in Britain, with the Royals occupying the stage.
So, there's a bunch of different references to British tittering scandal culture that kind of went over my head, which probably impacted the enjoyment of the book. Beyond that, I just wasn't raised with the "you'd never do that in front of a royal" stuff that you might if you were raised in Britain.
For example, after meeting a bunch of Americans, the Queen was asked how it went. She said, drolly, "I've shaken a lot of hands." Apparently, you're not supposed to touch her.
It was a very good book for titillating detail of how a woman–who was not raised to be in the line to the throne–made her way through life as a second fiddle. It's classic younger sibling birth order stuff put into a blender. In many ways, she was a train wreck…heavy drinking and smoking and reckless behavior and callous treatment of people…it was a pretty bumpy ride.
The book's real accomplishment is taking someone who was always defined by those things, and giving you a little understanding of the loneliness of that particular life. I know, they are first world problems and people have had to deal with a lot worse, but if you're going to take the time to decide she was a mean bitch you can at least try to see how anybody else might have ended up that way in the same situation. You should see some truly kind things she did. And if you're going to live vicariously through the royal family, you should do it through a real lens and not a Disney cartoon.
Last interesting point. In Britain, the book was titled "Ma'am Darling: Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret." Isn't that interesting? I suspect that people here wouldn't really grasp what that was referring to, but I always think it is interesting when the titles of books are different for relatively narrow slices of readership.

Immunological Response in Leptospirosis
Report of Three Cases
In three patients with leptospirosis, improvement of clinical symptoms was closely associated with the appearance of agglutinating, complement-fixing, and hemolytic antibodies in the circulation. Elevations in the serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, and IgM were also demonstrated. In one patient, recurrence of fever and meningitis during the immune phase coincided with the appearance of agglutinins and increases in the levels of all three immunoglobulins in the spinal fluid. Ultracentrifugation of immune sera in sucrosedensity gradients showed that IgM was the predominant immunoglobulin involved in the agglutination, complement-fixation, and hemolytic tests. Although antibodies are important in the development of immunity during the septicemic phase, its role in the pathogenesis of clinical symptoms during the immune phase is still unclear.

Nail Trimming is an Essential Part of Dog Grooming
Trim nails are a clear sign of your dog's good hygiene. Professional groomers will perform the task for squeamish owners, but nail trimming is a simple procedure if done correctly.
Nail trimming seems to be an anxiety-laden experience for many dogs. Start trimming claws during a dog's early years so he becomes accustomed to the process. Some dogs will sit in your lap or on a table while you clip their nails, but many need some form of restraint.
Getting Your Dog Comfortable
In as little as a week, you can have one of those "rare" dogs who doesn't mind nail trimming one bit.
A tip: It helps if you frequently touch and hold your puppy's paws (cheerfully) right from the first day you get him so he understands that it is OK for you to do this to him.
- Day one: Let your puppy sniff the nail clipper. Give a treat and praise.
- Day two: Touch the nail clipper to each paw. Just touch. Give a treat and praise.
- Day three: Touch the nail clipper to each paw and squeeze it so the puppy hears the sound. Don't actually cut a nail. Give a treat and praise.
- Day four: Touch the nail clipper to your puppy's nail. Give a treat and praise.
- Day five: Try trimming off just the very tiniest tip from one front paw nail. Only do one. Offer lots of happy praise and a treat if your puppy lets you. Even if he lets you, just do one. Repeat every day until he lets you do this and doesn't seem to mind.
- Day six: Try trimming just the tip off two nails.
- Day seven: Keep working your way up, trimming additional nails each day, until you've got them all and your puppy doesn't mind. Keep practicing, even when you don't need to clip a nail. Even pretending you are clipping, going through the motions, will have an impact.
Clipping Your Dogs Nails:
There are several types of dog nail trimmers, including scissors, grinder tools, and guillotine types.
Follow the steps below to trim your dogs' nails:
- Pick up a paw and firmly but gently place your thumb on the pad of a toe and your forefinger on the top of the toe on the skin above the nail.
- Push your thumb slightly up and backward on the pad while pushing your forefinger forward. This extends the nail.
- Clip only the tip of the nail, straight across.
- Avoid clipping past the curve of the nail or you risk hitting what is called the quick. A nick there is painful and will bleed.
Failing to Cut Your Dogs Nails
Regular nail maintenance is more than cosmetic. Unhealthy nails can cause pain and, in rare instances, trigger irreversible damage to the dog.
A dog's nail consists of the living pink quick and the hard outer material called the shell. The quick supplies blood to the nail and runs through the core of it. Nerves in the quick cause bleeding and discomfort when cut. Regular nail trimming will cause the quick to recede from the end. Short quicks are the preferred length for the dog's well-being and easy maintenance.
Long nails can turn a sound paw into a splayed foot and reduce traction, and they can cause deformed feet and injure the tendons over an extended period. As the long nail hits the ground, the pressure puts force on the foot and leg structure.

Perhaps there have been telltale signs all along. Unopened medication blister packs, spoiled food in the fridge that has taken on a life of its own, withdrawal from activities once enjoyed and just last week you arrived at his home to discover he'd fallen and couldn't get up – help!
This may describe where you are today. Your aging father, mother or close relative is in need of more support to continue living independently and you are uncertain what to do next.
Here are 3 things you can do now to obtain the support your loved one needs:
- Assess what they can still accomplish independently and the activities that they cannot
You don't want to overlook this simple step. It helps both you and your loved one clarify their capabilities and areas where personal care support or homemaking services would be most beneficial. Having a good understanding of your needs upfront will facilitate better discussions with health care professionals going forward. We've created a free printable checklist in our Caregiver Resource Pack to get you started. You can never be too prepared!
- Contact your Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) to apply for government funded services
The Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) arrange all government funded services for people living at home in the province of Ontario. They determine who receives care, the amount of care and the length of time care will be provided. As a means to minimize the overall costs of home care, we encourage clients to secure support through government funded sources before contracting private services.
To contact your local LHIN call 310 – 2222 or use your postal code online at www.healthcareathome.ca
A Case Manager will be assigned to review your file, arrange for an in-home visit to assess your needs and determine whether you qualify for government funded services delivered by agencies under contract with the LHIN.
If you do not qualify for funded services or the level of support offered through the LHIN does not meet the level of care you require, private care is an option.
- Choosing private care to fill your care 'gap'
There are a plethora of reputable agencies offering support within the home care landscape. Many could fulfill your list of care needs quite satisfactorily. Do your research.
Abounding Grace Home Care Services provides non-medical personal support and respite care to seniors, adults and children with disability, to persons with dementia and those at the end of life within their own home. We provide a range of Personal Care Services to support the essential activities of daily living, as well as Companionship and Homemaking Assistance. Our passion to serve comes from our desire to love one another as Christ has loved us (John 13:34-35).
If you would like to experience our difference, contact us today at 647.779.2984 or firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your support care needs. We would we happy to serve you.

In this article we will be taking a look at the haunted Toys R Us in Sunnyvale, California. Is the paranormal activity reported in this store linked to a character named 'Crazy Johnny'?
Let's take a closer look…
The Haunting of Toys R Us
Numerous members of staff have encountered some form of paranormal activity when working at this popular toy location…
Strange names whispered into worker's ears, poltergeist activity and a handful of female workers complaining about an unseen force playing with their hair, to name but a few.
It's the female side of the workforce that this 'entity' seems to target, although it is never violent activity.
The phenomena first started up in the 1970's and the staff at the time quickly became very scared of what they were experiencing. The local press picked up on the story and stayed with it – eventually a respected psychic/medium named Sylvia Browne read up on the story and decided to lend a hand…
She visited the store and actually managed to make contact with the ghost, who she claimed was a Scandinavian Immigrant named Johnny Johnson. He had lived and worked on the land when it was still a farm/plantation.
The Plantation
A man named Martin Murphy set up the plantation that was on the Toys R Us grounds in 1844. Johnny Johnson (real name 'Johan Johnson') was one of the first employees he hired, and he quickly fell in love with the boss's daughter…who rejected him.
Johnny didn't really appear to have been the luckiest of characters – not long after the boss's daughter rejected him, he managed to get infected with encephalitis, and ended up slightly brain damaged as a result.
He somehow managed to retain his job at the plantation, but eventually picked up the title of 'Crazy Johnny'.
In 1884 Crazy Johnny's luck finally hit an all time low when he cut himself seriously with his own axe during work hours. He bled to death alone, near the orchard.
The plantation was run by the Murphy family until 1950 when it was handed over to the city of Sunnyvale. A freak fire managed to burn it to the ground in 1961 and the Toys R Us store was built on the location in 1970.
Sylvia Browne
Most of this information was discovered by the psychic Sylvia Browne's seance that she held at the store. This seance was attended by numerous staff members and local press/photographers.
One of these cameras managed to snap a now famous photograph that paranormal experts believe is the image of Crazy Johnny, standing in the background of the seance, watching proceedings.
Only one of the cameras managed to capture the image of this strange character and nobody at the seance remembers anyone standing in that position in the room. It's also worth noting that all of the cameras were facing the same way – why did only one of them pick up this ghostly figure?
Sylvia ended the seance by telling Johnny that he could 'move on' to the next level – he was free to go. She then claims that Johnny replied to her and told her he was still waiting for his boss's daughter, Beth.

It was a lucky escape for the Mediterranean Monk seal (Monachus monachus). The pirogue was illegally fishing with purse seine nets inside the Costa de las Focas reserve, Mauritania - right beside an adult male.
The reserve patrol identified the vessel, sending photographs to the Coast Guard. Fortunately, the seal was unharmed but the fishers had to pay a penalty. "Thanks to training and the excellent relationship developed with the Coast Guards over the past few years as part of our broader effort, we are seeing positive results for the seals", explains Pablo Fernandez de Larrinoa project coordinator with SOS grantee CBD-Habitat – an organisation monitoring the seals since 1997.
With 82 pup births, 2016 was another record year for the colony of Endangered Mediterranean Monk Seals living in the Costa de las Focas reserve. This smashed the previous records of 73 and 63 births set in 2015 and 2014 respectively. As the largest remaining colony of these marine mammals the colony's health is critical to the species' recovery prospects.
Such a trend is the fruit of continuous conservation efforts protecting the seals from land and marine-based human disturbance through education, training in monitoring fishing practices and consistent patrolling of the reserve which was created in 2001. The creation of the reserve protected the breeding caves and its surroundings.
Since then work focused on reducing human disturbances by demarcating the reserve on land and improving surveillance of the reserve in general. Most recently the project team dangled from abseiling ropes to install a new high definition camera to monitor activity in the main breeding cave for example. It also aimed to reduce the negative interactions between fishers and seals by encouraging local artisanal fishers to switch away from gill nets which could easily entangle seals. This was complemented by deploying trained observers on local fishing vessels to monitor fishing practices. Training provided to the Coast Guard and to these observers - employed by the Institut Mauritanien De Recherches Océanographiques Et De Pêches (IMROP) - developed skills but also the rapport so critical to ensuring ongoing relations and shared vision that helped penalise the pirogue in that lucky escape for the seal.
In general the future for the Mediterranean Monk Seal is brighter. It was down-listed (improving in conservation status) from Critically Endangered (CR) to Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species ™ in 2015. This followed recent small increases in all subpopulations and a review of all data available including an earlier Red List assessment from 2008.
At Costa de las Focas, so too all the numbers are going in the right direction: seal numbers have increased from 109 individuals in 1997 to almost 300 animals in 2017. What is more in July 2017, the team counted the 1000th pup birth since it began working in the area. Meanwhile numbers of infractions and numbers of incidents with fishing gear are down fifteen and fifty percent respectively during the period of SOS funding.
But for the Costa de las Focas reserve population the future remains uncertain. The nearby city of Nouadhibou is growing fast which means more artisanal fishers and barnacle collectors along the coast as well as visitors to the bluff above the breeding caves. Without this ongoing vigilance and coordinated action, the seals' prospects of recovery could diminish rapidly Pablo warns.
This story concerns just one of more than 250 threatened species supported by more than 100 projects in the SOS portfolio. Each one completed offers a wealth of practical lessons and insights into conservation action across numerous taxonomic groups and challenges.

Sims & Edugames & Gamification – What's in a Name?
June 30, 2014
As learning technology analysts, we have to be precise. So when the term "gamification" started getting batted around, it just made me twitch.
You can't get your arms around (or quantify) a "gamification market"—the term is too amorphous to be able to develop quantitative analyses or revenue forecasts.
So, pushing gamification aside for the moment, we can precisely define and analyze the Simulation-based Learning and Game-based Learning (a.k.a. edugames) markets—and we do in Ambient Insight's 2014 Learning Technology Research Taxonomy, (and provide a lot of other free information about markets in that document, too).
Why do definitions matter so much? Because you need to know what types of products, precisely, fit into which markets that interest you. Same with buyers—we identify two academic markets–PreK-12 and Higher Ed–because the buying behaviors are so different for each.
Back to definitions. For us, the difference between sims and edugames is pedagogical.
Sims: We rely on the definitions from veteran instructional designers Alessi and Trollip. They compressed the four types of Simulation-based Learning to two instructional design strategies: learn something (physical and process) or learn to do something (procedural and situational).
Edugames: We define edugames as a knowledge transfer method that utilizes "gameplay" and includes competition (against yourself or others, you know or don't know) and a reward/penalty system. Game-based learning have specific pedagogical goals, and a user "wins" when they achieve the objectives of the game.
Gamification: We looked to SpongeLab, which defines it as the application of videogame rules, game mechanics and conventions (such as rewards) to a non-gaming situation. These are bolted on another endeavor, such as an employee wellness program or a loyalty program. Think Starbucks stars and free drinks.
So – back to quantifying (numbers). I'll be presenting a session July 22 at the Serious Play Conference in L.A. on the 2013-2018 Worldwide Sim and Edugame market, and a second session on the 23rd on 2013-2018 Mobile Edugame market—high level numbers, trends, catalysts, product types, buyers, and so on . We'll post the presentations in our Resource Library where you may download them.
And, no more throwing around the word "gamification," unless you aren't talking about the games market.

Creme in fancy dress
4 comments:
I often get that same feeling, especially when inking. The picture just gets...stagnant. Dead. BORING.ReplyDelete
But I guess it has a lot to do with the way we perceive motion. An object/person in motion is never completely sharp the way a stagnant item is.
For example, in your post "Timid Creme" the sketch is a whole load livelier than the one inked. In the sketch you've used a whole load more lines, whereas the inked has pretty constant lines without much variation in the volume, making it look more, well, stagnant.
I've lately deliberately tried to avoid inking too 'clean'. It might look a bit messier, but it preserves the feel of movement a little better. :) I personally love the 'fluid' feeling your sketches always have.
I completely understand where you're coming from!! I notice that any time I move beyond the rough it's like I tense up and my mindset strays from the "I love this it's so fun!" setting to the "Oh god I'm going to screw this up!!" one. Maybe if you worked over a copy instead of an original? Drank some rum?? Vodka?? Mmm... Rum... (I'm not an alcoholic...)ReplyDelete
Your perception of the female figure is oh so good!ReplyDelete
Eve, my inking actually used to be CLEANER than what it is now. Which not only resulted with mega-stiff linework, but a sore wrist from tensing it so much to get a "perfect line". I sometimes still need to remind myself to not make things too clean.ReplyDelete
Trish, I usually try to work on a copy, as I don't trust myself not to ruin my original sketch. XC Perhaps I'll try vodka or wine some day... Not sure if alcohol will put me on a working mood though. :D
And thanks Zach! :D

Hong Kong Food
When it comes to eating out and eating well, Hong Kong is a veritable smorgasbord of sublime tastes and tastebud-tantalising styles. From its Chinese-influenced dim sum scene to fresh-off-the-boat seafood and some of Asia's finest fusion dining, there's no shortage of impressive places to eat in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong dining runs the gamut from streetside hawker stalls to upscale Michelin-starred restaurants and everything in between. Some Hong Kong residents eat out every night of the week, so enjoying a sumptuous meal is often as simple as stepping outside and taking a seat at the closest eatery on hand.
Hong Kong Must Eats!
Dim Sum
If one food symbolises Hong Kong, it is surely the dim sum ubiquitous throughout the city. These bite-sized steamed dumplings and rice noodle rolls are a core component of traditional Cantonese cuisine and as such, heading out to "drink tea" – or yum cha – is one of the most authentic Hong Kong dining experiences around. Popular dim sum fillings include shrimp, pork, vegetables and tofu.
Stir-fried Crab
The flat-bottomed boats which trawl the waterways of Victoria Harbour are known as sampan and these traditional fishing vessels have spawned a unique style of cooking. Stir-fried crab is a classic of sampan cooking, with the succulent flesh of freshly-caught crab infused with ginger, garlic and chilli to create a heady mix of flavours in a delicious one-wok dining experience.
Barbecued Pork
With so many Hong Kong residents choosing to dine out on a regular basis, it's no surprise that simple take-away dishes are popular with the city's busy inhabitants. An enduring favourite is the barbecued pork – or cha siu – found in every self-respecting take-out shop. The seasoned boneless pork roasted over an open fire and served with succulent white rice is a local favourite and one of Hong Kong's most iconic dishes.
Though it's served in a dizzying array of variations, congee is consistently regarded as one of Hong Kong's most beloved dishes. This gruel-like rice porridge is often eaten as an accompaniment to savoury Chinese doughnuts and steamed rice pastry, and the best versions of it sometimes take several hours to cook.
Wonton Noodles
While long leisurely lunches are common in most cultures, the brisk nature of Hong Kong society dictates a more fast-paced approach to lunchtime dining. That makes wonton noodles an obvious favourite for the lunchtime office crowd, with these dumpling-topped thin noodles boasting a diverse range of flavours and textures.
Dining Street Style
Hau Fook Street
On the surface, Hau Fook Street looks like any other nondescript Hong Kong thoroughfare. However, what sets this bustling boulevard apart is the broad range of cuisines on offer from all corners of Asia. From Cantonese delicacies like snake soup to authentic sushi crafted by expatriate Japanese chefs, Hau Fook Street may be one of Kowloon's best-kept secrets – and also one of its tastiest.
Haiphong Road
A few blocks from the Tsim Sha Tsui foreshore lies the complex and occasionally chaotic Haiphong Road. Straddling the boundary of Kowloon Park, this convenient cross-street is also home to the wonderfully named Haiphong Road Temporary Cooked Food Hawker Bazaar. Don't let the lack of English signage put you off, this traditional hawker's bizarre is famous for its food – particularly the succulent beef balls and noodles ladled out by artisan hawker chefs.
Stanley Street
Much of Hong Kong's hawker food culture has disappeared, but the few dai pai dong still in existence attract a steady clientele of regulars. The city's best known is perhaps Sing Kee – the focal point of Stanley Street's eclectic food scene and one which boasts innumerable cheap and cheerful street food options.
Yiu Tung Street
Home to another of Hong Kong's dwindling number of dai pai dong, Yiu Tung Street's age-old outdoor So Kee is a favourite for locals looking for a Hong Kong-style caffeine fix. This traditional stall specialises in yuenyeung – the unique coffee and tea fusion popular in these parts – as well as the beloved staple of dai pai dong everywhere, pork ramen with egg.
Temple Street
Temple Street may be synonymous with its raucous Night Market, but away from the bustling stalls, this busy thoroughfare is a great place to indulge in some genuine Hong Kong street food. In fact, Temple Street is one of the most popular places to go for claypot rice, and the Hing Kee restaurant is packed daily with hordes of hungry diners eager to consume this homely comfort food.
Don't Forget To Try
Hot Pot Cooking
Known as daa bin lou in Cantonese, this communal-style form of cooking is perfect for a cold winter day. In its most common form, a steaming-hot pot of boiling broth is placed in the centre of a gas-heated table, allowing those huddled around to cook a variety of meats and vegetables in convivial company – and warm wintry bones whilst doing so.
Crispy Fried Chicken
A late-night favourite across the city, this southern Cantonese classic is the perfect hassle-free cuisine. Light and airy pieces of chicken are fried to produce a delicious crunchy skin and served with pepper salt and prawn crackers, making this an ideal accompaniment to a few rounds of beers in one of Hong Kong's countless waterfront bars and pubs.
Old Lady Cake
Call it what you will – sweetheart cake, wife cake or the colloquial Old Lady Cake – what this traditional Cantonese pastry always has in common is a flaky, thin crust which more often than not covers a candied watermelon filling. The filling is seasoned with five spice, sesame and almond paste before baking, to create one of Hong Kong's most recognisable dessert dishes.
Hong Kong Milk Tea
As the name suggests, the Hong Kong-inspired milk tea found in every self-respecting café and teahouse throughout the city is a thoroughly local concoction. This typically sweet beverage is a mixture of traditional black tea and generous lashings of condensed or evaporated milk, generally strained through a sackcloth bag to give the tea its famously smooth texture.
Cart Noodles
A throwback to a bygone era still exists – in name, at least – in many of the cheap low-end and mid-priced eateries around town, which long ago replaced the hawkers who once roamed the streets selling cheap noodles from portable carts. Indeed, some restaurants are cashing in on the nostalgia associated with this cheap dish, which is served with a wide variety of toppings including fish balls, beef, pork and green vegetables.
Our Top 5 Restaurant Picks
Tenku RyuGin
Hong Kong is home to more than 60 Michelin-starred restaurants, so the toughest task is often simply to pick the right one for you. Japanese import Tenku RyuGin boasts a distinctive advantage, perched spectacularly on the 101st floor of the dizzying ICC Tower. Boasting some of the most exotic Japanese food this side of Tokyo, Tenku RyuGin combines a sophisticated ambience with spectacular views, in what is one of Hong Kong's most refined fine dining experiences.
Tim Ho Wan
Not so much a restaurant as a small chain of outlets, one bite of Tim Ho Wan's dim sum is all it takes to explain why this hole-in-the-wall emporium is spreading throughout Hong Kong. One of the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants around, Tim Ho Wan attracts enthusiastic crowds of dim sum enthusiasts, all eager to sample the delicious morsels of dumpling goodness in decidedly casual surrounds.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon at The Landmark
Joël Robuchon is perhaps the world's foremost French chef and restaurateur, so it's no surprise that his signature L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon at The Landmark is one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants. Dishing up delectable servings of modern French cuisine in the iconic Landmark building, this quintessentially fine-dining experience never fails to delight.
Amber at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental
Combining fresh Hong Kong ingredients with typically Gallic flair, the French-inspired menu at Amber at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental consistently earns rave reviews. Not only is Amber home to some of the finest Parisian-style dining outside Europe, it's also an fabulously upscale affair highlighted by the magnificent 4,000-rod hanging chandelier which floats ethereally over diners' heads.
Yung Kee
A Chinese favourite famous for its succulent roast goose, Yung Kee has for decades served up some of Hong Kong's most beloved local cuisine. Its signature roast goose is famous throughout Hong Kong and beyond, although Yung Kee's selection runs the gamut from wild geese to fresh fish and succulent seafood dishes.

YouTube today rolled out a major visual overhaul of its desktop website. The overhaul has been released after the online video streaming service celebrated turning 12 yesterday. The new user interface of YouTube on the web is in line with Google's material design language. That's why the new interface is sleeker and simpler than its predecessor. It's also more consistent across devices. Some new features have been added as well including an optional dark theme.
Google has also made improvements to YouTube's search and channel pages to put more focus on the video content. Aside from the optional dark mode, there's also an improved theater mode for watching videos in a larger playing without having to switch to a full-screen view.
Significant changes have been made under the hood as well which many users won't really find out about, but they are surely going to take advantage of its effects on YouTube on desktop. Google has rebuilt its video streaming website on top of Polymer which is an open source JavaScript library.
Polymer enables developers to create web components that they can re-use. "It's less about a particular feature, and it's more about the velocity of which things can be brought to market. This then enables us to explore and then do more things," explains Manuel Bronstein, VP of Product Management at YouTube, of Polymer.
The Dark Theme is one of the options that has been made possible by Polymer. It can now be switched on with a simple toggle. This viewing mode will offer a more comfortable viewing experience when streaming video at night when the lights are off.
Google is going to see how the Dark Theme performs on the web before it decides to port it to other platforms. Mobile users will certainly love to have it on their devices.
Another major change is that the YouTube homepage will never reach the end now. It's an endless list of recommendations now so you're never out of content to discover. The list will include recommendations for both videos that you might be interested in watching and channels that you might want to subscribe to.
The new YouTube user experience for desktop users hasn't been rolled out for everybody yet. Users can opt-in to try out the new experience by heading over to youtube.com/new. It's likely going to place a cap on the number of people that are allowed to check out the new interface.

Gabrielle Douglas Blogs About Winning Olympic Gold
ChitChatter: Gabby Douglas Blogs About Her Gold Medal Win "The Biggest Night Of My Life"
Gabrielle Douglas Blogs About Winning The Gold Medal In Gymnastics All-Around
After making history as the first African-American to win gold in the Olympics all-around gymnastics competition, Gabby Douglas went right to work blogging about her win for ESPN.
Here's what she had to say:
One of the most nerve-wracking moments of my life happened tonight, as I waited for the final score on floor in the Olympic all-around final. I had finished and was in first place, but Russian gymnast Viktoria Komova was the last gymnast to go and had done an amazing floor routine. My heart was absolutely racing.
Do I have it? Do I not have it? Will I be first? Second?
My coach, Liang Chow, said, "You're the Olympic champion! You have it!"
But I couldn't believe him until I saw the scoreboard. When I finally saw the results, I was speechless. Tears of joy streamed down my face, and I started waving to the crowd and my family in the stands.
When my mom first took me to Chow's gym two years ago, she told him I wanted to be an Olympic champion someday. He told her he would do his best. He jokes now that he wasn't so sure he could do it.
He has pushed me so hard, and some days I would wonder, "Why do I have to do this?" In the end, though, he believed in me and all the hard work really did paid off. He and his wife Li have shaped me into a better gymnast than I ever thought I could be.
When I first got here to London, I was in some pain from a tweaked muscle. I was feeling a little down. But Chow reminded me that everyone has pain. He said, "Don't focus on that, you're at the Olympics! If you don't push it now, you'll regret it." He got me refocused, and, of course, he was right. When I got to the competition and all the nerves kicked in, I didn't feel a thing.
Tonight, I didn't think about avoiding mistakes — that's what gets you into trouble. Instead, I just thought about going out there and representing Team USA, my coaches, my family and myself as best as I could. I just wanted to enjoy the moment. Chow told me not to fear what might happen, but to just believe in myself.
People have asked if I felt like I was on fire here in London, but I just feel normal, the same as I do every day in practice. The difference has been that I was ready to seize the moment, to focus and to trust in what I can do.
You say you want to do it and you dream about it every day, but then when it happens, it's hard to believe it really has. Tonight, when the U.S. flag was raised and the national anthem played, there were so many camera flashes going off I felt like I was at a concert.
And the crazy thing was, they were all taking pictures of me.
We got chills when Gabby won gold and we couldn't be more proud of her!

American college fraternities have been around for nearly 200 years. The first was established in 1825.
One of the nation's largest fraternities - Sigma Alpha Epsilon - is banning pledging, effective Sunday. Bloomberg reports more SAE pledges died - at least 10 since 2006 - than any other fraternity.
Journalist Caitlin Flanagan spent a year researching the campus power wielded by frats, and her article, "The Dark Power of Fraternities," is the cover story of this month's The Atlantic magazine.
In her article, Flanagan notes, "In many substantive ways, fraternities are mightier than the colleges and universities that host them."
That influence comes from a number of things, according to Flanagan, but among them, is the "huge" amount of student housing that the schools don't have to pay for, Flanagan explained on "CBS This Morning: Saturday."
"One of eight of every American undergraduate lives in Greek housing. Colleges don't have to pay for that housing, maintain it or insure it," she said. "Getting rid of all that housing would be a huge problem for the colleges."
Another way frats have influence is through college giving, Flanagan said. "Fraternity men give huge amounts of money to their alma maters," she explained. "If a college president does something to the fraternity chapter that the fraternity men don't like, they'll cut the money off instantly and redirect it to the fraternity, not to the colleges, so the college presidents aren't as powerful against fraternities as people often think."
In addition to investigating influence, Flanagan also addressed some of the biggest problems at fraternities today, which she said she found surprising. "I had assumed before I wrote the piece that hazing was the number one problem because that's what you always read - these very bizarre, almost sadistic cases of inflicted trauma - but when I looked at these internal documents of the fraternity industry, hazing is the least common problem. It's only 7 percent. Most common is assault and battery.
She continued, "These kids get liquored up and they get in horrible fights. There's a kid in a coma in Pennsylvania just in the last few days. He broke up a fight at a frat house. Somebody punched him, roundhouse punch. He hit the cement, and he's in a coma - very desperate situation. That's number one. Number two ... sexual assault. Fifteen percent of all of the claims are young women coming forward and saying, 'I was sexually assaulted at the fraternity house.' Parents, particularly of daughters, need to understand that the fraternity industry is quite explicit about the huge amount of sexual assault claims that they're dealing with, and they're not coming forward and saying these are insubstantive claims. For the most part, they're paying these claims."
Fraternity members are required to take out insurance, but, Flanagan noted, the insurance may not cover members in situations they'd expect.
She said, "The general assumption by their parents who are back home is, 'OK, this insurance will protect my son, should he get involved in a nasty piece of litigation, should the worst happen.' In fact, the insurance they pay for protects the fraternity against their son.
"If their son makes a huge mistake, and the fraternity is held liable, the insurance he paid into is going to help pay the fraternity's part of the claim while the actual young man is going to get cut from insurance immediately, probably dropped from the fraternity and - believe it or not - the single most surprising thing I learned is that the sum of money that pays his damages is his parents' homeowner's insurance," she said.
Fraternities have shared common risk management policies that are "extremely strict," Flanagan added.
"The kind of behavior that's expected legally of a fraternity man is so squeaky clean few of us would pass it today, let alone when we were college students," she said. "There's a huge gulf between the risk management policy and life as it's actually lived on these campus fraternity houses."
After so many reports about fraternities in the news, Flanagan said parents are starting to seek reforms.
As for colleges and universities, they're currently in a "terrible position," Flanagan said, because students can freely associate where they want. "The university can't come and say, 'You can't belong to a private club that exists on a private land.' It's sort of like saying, 'You can't go to 7-11 off-campus.' You can go to 7-11, you can go to the Elks Club, you can join the fraternity."
"Colleges are really in a bind, and they're kind of motivated not to get super involved in shutting them down because the more they are involved, the more they are policing them, the more they establish a legal duty of care, and so parents can say, 'Oh, university, you understood that these things were going on. You had monitoring in place, therefore when my child is injured, it's partly your fault because your monitoring fell through the cracks.'"

Stella McCartney presented Spring/Summer 2014 during Paris Fashion Week
"The collection is very much a celebration of summer, of the Stella woman" Stella McCartney told after her show - and, while it's not new to see her make a statement about female empowerment, the show felt like an energetic ode to femininity, more romantic than we're used to from her, but still modern. Opened by Miranda Kerr and boasting a fabulous line-up including Cara Delevingne and Joan Smalls, it was gloriously light, with a finale of two-tone lingerie lace dresses underlining the point.
"I wanted to take a really honest approach" said Stella.
Warm peach and sienna, navy and cream prevented the feminine from being remotely girlish, while the shapes were simple - the A-line skirt reappeared in a shimmering silver daisy print that came back later as a red tunic dress on Edie Campbell - and softly tailored silk T-shirts over full skirts that fell to high on the calf made this a collection that had commercial success written all over it.
Her models are definitely on board: "No matter what you wear from Stella - whether it's a dress or a tracksuit - you feel a sense of elegance without having to try". said Cara. "I want to take it all home with me", added Miranda Kerr. "It's all so chic, but it's always really wearable."

Changes in Campus Ministry
Our Campus Ministry is an essential part of our SHA society. Though there have been many new changes, one key thing Campus Ministry is keeping is First Friday Mass.
This year, Campus Ministry has introduced many new activities and opportunities for the school community. Now, all of the school masses are planned by different students, groups, or teams which will represent the interest of the group as a whole. For example, in December, there will be a Latina mass celebrating Latina culture. The songs will be sung in Spanish and there may be a priest who will read the prayers in Spanish. Also, the musical cast and crew will plan the mass for All Saints Day. Additionally, any sports team, club, or group can plan a mass. The whole school is part of Campus Ministry, and we are all serving with and for each other; therefore, our masses will reflect everyone helping each other out on our journey of life.
Another new change introduced to Campus Ministry is Java with Jesus. Also, there are service opportunities every Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesdays, SHA girls will go to the Clelian Center to volunteer their time. On Thursdays, SHA girls will bag lunches for the homeless, which is also part of Sandwich Club. There is also a Recycling Club, founded by a group of students passionate about making our school a better place. Your ideas can help our school, too! Every week there is a service opportunity. Sacred Heart students can also help out in Downtown Evening Soup Kitchens (DESK). This is when a group of 10 to 12 students, faculty, and parents volunteer at a local soup kitchen in New Haven. Check the Bulletin Board, and listen for announcements for future service opportunities to come!
With these many changes, there will not be a formal Community Out Reach (COR) Team due to the fact that our Campus Ministry believes strongly that everyone can be involved. Since membership to Campus Ministry is not exclusive, anyone can join. Campus Ministry is meant to be about students learning new things, growing in their faith, and executing ideas to implement service, faith, and prayer. Students come up with ideas about what they want to be involved in, and they can run their ideas by Ms. Destito or Sr. Elizabeth Doyle. All students are welcome to share their ideas!
When passion meets inspiration, an innovation is born. Ms. Destito, an alumna of Sacred Heart Academy, shares that as a high school student, she was passionate about participating in service activities. Unfortunately, there were no opportunities available. She wants to make Campus Ministry a place for students with a passion for service to fulfill that eagerness. Ms. Destito and Sr. Elizabeth feel they share the same interest as SHA students. Sr. Elizabeth, an alum of Cor Jesu, was inspired to participate in Campus Ministry since she believes in having a place in the school community where everyone has a space to grow spiritually. She believes spiritual life is essential to who we are and enables us to grow and learn. She had opportunities at Cor Jesu to participate in service, and hopes children can grow like she did. Sr. Elizabeth and Ms. Destito both love Campus Ministry because it is a lot of fun! Ms. Destito wants you to know that you should not be afraid to come in or of your relationship with God. This is a safe place, and everyone in Campus Ministry is ready to walk with you on your journey and relationship with God.
So, get excited and participate in our exciting Campus Ministry ! You can plan our liturgies, participate in activities such as Java with Jesus, and come up ideas about mission trips. For all of the artists out there, you can create an image for our school, help decorate the chapel, or design the cover of the liturgy pamphlets. If you are a musician or singer, you can share your talents in the school mass. You can help serve the school community, organize ways for the school community to pray for intentions, or stop by just to say hi and see what is happening this week.

I never thought I would say that I'm a fan of this show but here we are. It has all the ingredients for something that I would automatically dislike. Rednecks who are Republican-minded, not fans of Obama, and are into country music. Yet despite that, I now find myself 2 episodes in season 2 (Part 2) and I thought let me take a breather and talk about it.
The show has a stellar cast, starring Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson (both of that 70's Show fame), Debra Winger and Sam Elliot as the Bennetts. They are a family of cattle Ranchers down on their luck. Ashton Kutcher is the prodigal son who comes back after a failed semi-pro football career and is figuring out his life at the age of 34. He left the family 15 years prior to pursue said football career and now has to come with grips of that decision by convincing his stoic man of the earth father Beau (played by Sam Elliot) and smart ass talking older brother. Adding to the dynamic, is Debra Winger, the matriarch, who moved out of the ranch to run her bar and live in an Airstream trailer but yeah comes back every so often for a booty call with dear old dad.
It makes for a riveting family dynamic that keeps me coming despite some of the aspects that I would normally abhor and stay away from. The writing is just that good. What actually got me made me think to give this show a show was a recent interview that Ashton Kutcher had with Stephen Colbert. After wowing me with his venture capitalist investment stories he mentioned that he was in this show that was in the vein of the old Roseanne sitcom of the 80s with that blue collar dynamic. I was a fan of Roseanne in my youth and that was the seed that finally grew roots and made me finally check the show out.
I'm glad I did. Like I said, 2 days later and 12 episodes deep, I'm invested in the Bennetts plight and wish them the best.

Helping Girls Across the World
Your friend should get it any second.
Always has been providing access to period protection to girls and women that need it the most over 35 years.
Here's a snapshot of just a few of our programs:
Each month, girls around the world miss school because they cannot afford period protection. The Always #EndPeriodPoverty campaign set out to change that. With your help so far, we've donated over 90 million pads to school girls in need around the world. Together, we can #EndPeriodPoverty.
Click here to know what we do to end period poverty in the U.S.
Always is proud to take part in P&G's efforts to bring comfort and relief to the lives of those affected by disasters. After disaster strikes, P&G brands can play an important role in bringing comfort and relief to the lives of those affected. In partnership with Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization, Always provides feminine care products, whilst P&G provides cleaning kits that are distributed to families affected by natural disasters. These kits help restore a sense of normality during a difficult time.
Always's partnership with Feeding America®: Feeding America is North America's largest domestic relief and food rescue charity. The charity distributes nutritious food, household essentials and personal care items through a nationwide network of 200 food banks and 60,000 agencies. Always is proud to support many of these families struggling to make ends meet by supplying feminine hygiene products. In addition, P&G provides other basic essential products like Gillette, Charmin and Crest.
In sub-Saharan Africa, many girls miss school during their period and might even drop out. Research shows that providing education on puberty and menstrual hygiene, giving access to period products and discussing taboos around menstruation can alleviate this issue.Together with governments and local associations we work hard to make sure schools have proper sanitary facilities and have the tools to educate girls on feminine hygiene.Since it started in 2006, the "Always Keeping Girls in School Program" helped 170 000 girls and donated 11 million pads to keep them in school.
The Syrian Crisis is one of the biggest challenges of our generation. It has had a significant negative impact not only on Syrian refugees, but on Jordanian host communities, and among those most affected are refugee girls and young women.
Many Syrian refugee girls are no longer able to attend school and many young women are unable to work and provide income for their families, lacking access to training and facing gender-based barriers that keep them at home.
P&G and Always are working to stop this, rooted in the belief that education is key to empowering Syrian refugee girls and young women so they are confident, skilled, strong and equipped to take charge of their future even in the most challenging circumstances. That's why we've partnered with UNESCO and Save the Children – to help refugees by empowering over 1000 young girls & women living in Jordan through education, life skills and work readiness training.
Always, with the help of Save the Children has helped empower over 10,000 girls in Nepal, Ethiopia and Mexico.
"Puberty can be a scary time for girls when they, their families and their communities don't have the facts. In many of the places where Save the Children works, a lack of information or misinformation, along with no access to bathrooms or sanitary products, contributes to girls missing days of school or dropping out of school altogether. Save the Children values our partnership with P&G and our shared vision of making sure girls have the knowledge and confidence to navigate the challenging journey of puberty – so they can stay in school and shine."
Always believes that nothing should hold girls back from being their amazing, unstoppable selves. And what's the single biggest opportunity for girl empowerment? Education. In 2011, around 500 million adult women around the world were lacking basic literacy skills. In Senegal alone, more than 4 out of 10 girls dropped out of primary school in 2010. Always wanted to change this. So in 2011, Always and UNESCO teamed up to give thousands of girls access to literacy education in Africa. We have committed to empower a total of 110,000 girls across Nigeria & Senegal with literacy and education programs by the end of 2019, giving them the access to the education they need to make their dreams come true.

|Crocodile Shark
|Capture Level
|100g / 47,000 yen
|Swamp of Antiquity (1st Biotope)
Any large body of water
|Debut Appearance
|Gourmet 37
|Episode 10
|Toriko: Gourmet Survival
|[v · t · e]
Crocodile Shark (鰐鮫 (わにざめ) Wanizame) is an extremely large fish beast with the body of a Shark and the head of a Crocodile. It is at the tip of the food chain in the Swamp of Antiquity. It has a capture level of 27.
It is an enormous fish beast weighing over 27 tons and is 43 meters in length that easily dwarfs the other species in its habitat. As its name suggests, it has a crocodilian head but with the body of a shark. Its body is rather wrinkly and scaly and its fins are a bit grotesque in shape. Its teeth are also notably large and sharp, easily allowing it to devour any prey.
It is a merciless predator that will lunge towards its prey and bite down on it with full force, especially if its prey has its own prey in its clutches. Being at the top of the Swamp of Antiquity's food chain makes all the creatures within its potential prey.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
This giant fish can pop open its jaws a full 180 degrees. Its bite has the same force as an alligator's, meaning most prey is doomed once it has been nabbed. The Crocodile Shark's Capture Level makes it the top of the food chain in the prehistoric marsh.[1][2]
As FoodEdit
Its meat is superb, and can be eaten raw.[2]
Regal Mammoth ArcEdit
When Komatsu and Sunny are traversing through Regal Island after getting separated from Toriko, Rin, and Terry Cloth, they come across the Swamp of Antiquity, where they witness many of the swamp's beasts try to eat one another: a Mad Dragon is eaten by a Swamp Moray Eel, which is eaten by an Eight-Headed Snail (or a Snake Leech in anime) which is eaten by the king of the marsh, the Crocodile Shark. The sight leaves Komatsu quite horrified and Sunny indifferent.
In the video game series, the Crocodile Shark is shown to have a variety of different subspecies:
- Red Crocodile Shark (アカ鰐鮫 Aka Wanizame): In Toriko: Ultimate Survival.
- Uni-Horn Crocodile Shark (イッカク鰐鮫 Ikkaku Wanizame): In Toriko: Ultimate Survival.
- Hammer Head Crocodile Shark (シュモク鰐鮫 Shumoku Wanizame): In Toriko: Ultimate Survival.
- Ancient Crocodile Shark (古代鰐鮫 Kodai Wanizame): In Toriko: Ultimate Survival.
Anime and Manga DifferencesEdit
- Its appearance in the anime is drastically different than in the manga, as it no longer possesses any crocodile-like features and is given an entirely gray body.
Appearances in Other MediaEdit
Toriko: Gourmet SurvivalEdit
Crocodile Sharks appear as enemies in Toriko: Gourmet Survival along with a new assortment of subspecies, such as a red-skinned Crocodile Shark "Endemic Species" (鰐鮫 固有種 Wanizame Koyū-shu) and a green-skinned, sawshark-like Crocodile Shark "Rare Species" (鰐鮫 希少種 Wanizame Kishō-shu). They mainly attack by biting or ramming into the player. They can usually be found in isolated areas within the Submarine Cave of Megamori Island.
Notably, its in-game sprite resembles that of its manga counterpart rather than the anime's.
