These are premises which provide a wide variety of treatments, the main ones being body piercing, sauna, massage and sun beds. The council does not currently licence these types of premises.
The purpose of registering skin-piercing activities is to protect members of the public from the transmission of blood borne viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and other infections and to ensure that basic health and safety standards are maintained in all premises where the above services are provided.
The council has approved byelaws that set out the standards for the hygienic operation of skin piercing premises. Under these byelaws the applicant must ensure that the procedures, equipment, and facilities used are safe, hygienic, prevent the spread of disease and comply fully with the general duty of care required by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
If you are unsure about body piercing, or would like further advice you can speak to an officer from the Council.
Alternatively you can request an application form by emailing EHSupport@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk or by writing to Environmental Health, P.O. Box 8045, Burton upon Trent, DE14 9JG, telephone 01283 508578 or 01283 508524.
Once an application has been made and the relevant fee has been received, an officer will undertake an inspection of the premises. If the officer considers the applicant's procedures and premises to be suitable, then registration will be approved.
The officer will also check compliance in line with the byelaws as well as ensuring that general health safety requirements are being met. The officer will offer advice if you are unsure on how to meet these requirements.
* The initial registration fee will be for registration of the premises and one operator. Additional operators may be registered to the same premises at an additional cost; this will be at a reduced rate as the initial fee covers the premises. The additional activity fee is for an additiional activity at the same premises such as tattooing and cosmetic piercing.
Fees have been set according to officer costs and administration involved in processing applications and will be reviewed annually. An up to date list of fees will be made available both on the Councils web site and via post if requested.
If a business moves premises the full registration fee will be payable which will include an inspection of the new premises and re-issuing of registration certificates for existing operators.
If an operator moves premises, there will be a fee for re-issuing of a registration certificate to cover them at their new place of work.
We normally process applications without delay but please allow 28 days from the submission of your application for administration, inspection and receipt of your Registration Certificate.
No. Once you have applied for registration you must wait until your application has been processed and approved. It is an offence to conduct Acupuncture, Tattooing, Ear Piercing and Electrolysis unless the registration has been formally approved.
Please contact the Council's Environmental Health & Licensing Department in the first instance. If a registration is suspended or cancelled the registration holder may appeal to the county court.
The registration of premises will continue to remain in force provided that there is no transfer of the ownership of the business; should this occur then the new owner would need to apply for registration.
If you wish to make a complaint of any kind about a skin piercing operator or skin piercing premises within East Staffordshire please contact us.
If you are not happy with the service the Council has provided with regard to your application, please contact Environmental Health in the first instance, and we will try to resolve any concerns you may have.

Mainstreaming disabled people into the economy is a human rights' issue
by Viwe Tyolwana November 30, 2020 0179
In South Africa, workplace diversity discussions revolve mostly around race and gender, often side-lining the issue of disability inclusion. The private sector needs to take charge of this urgently regardless of what government legislation stipulates, experts say. Not only will this help millions of disabled South Africans to exercise their human and economic rights; it also has benefits for employers and the economy at large.
Whilst the country has made some strides on the diversity and inclusion front, a lot of progress still needs to be made. People with disabilities continue to be disproportionately affected by a lack of job opportunities and unemployment. The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) estimates that over two-thirds (68%) of disabled adults in this country were not working last year. The unemployment rate amongst the disabled will likely be higher this year because of the economic impact of the national lockdown, resulting in 2.2 million lost jobs in the second quarter alone.
"People with disabilities are at the bottom of the food chain and have always struggled to find employment, even before the Covid-19 pandemic. They will, unfortunately, struggle even more now," says Jonathan Shapiro, CEO of LESCO Manufacturing. Founded in 1999, this producer of electrical products only employs traditionally unemployable workers such as disabled and unskilled people.
"Just because someone is in a wheelchair for example, or has a mental delay or disability doesn't mean he or she can't add value to a business or the economy," Shapiro stresses. "It is time the private sector comes to terms with this and fast-tracks the inclusion of people with disabilities, regardless of whether there is legislation or not. We can do the right thing without having laws in place."
The first critical ingredient of mainstreaming disabled workers in the formal economy is to focus on what they can do – rather than on what they can't. "Businesses need to shift their mindset," Shapiro says, taking his own company as an example. "All of our 100 factory employees are functionally disabled or unskilled, and all of them are exceptionally valuable to the company. This is because we know their strengths and capabilities, and where and how to apply those. That, and our wish to tap into a valuable and often ignored talent pool, is why we chose to work only with traditionally unemployable people. It forms part of how we see the role of diversity in creating innovation whilst doing good."
Lebogang Mashego, one of LESCO's long-standing staff members, contracted polio when she was eight years old. "Most companies don't give us disabled individuals, many opportunities. If I hadn't been working here, I would have been sitting at home earning nothing and doing nothing," she says. "Here, they treat us like we have no disability, and this gives us the confidence we need in life. Our dignity is restored."
A second key pillar of successfully boosting disability inclusion in the workspace is to give disabled workers the same rights and opportunities as other colleagues. "Like with any worker, give them opportunities to grow, develop and expand their skillset so that they can grow and take on more responsibilities," says LESCO chairman, Sipho Nkosi. "It is their right – and looking at South Africa's inequality problem, a business' duty."
Nkosi adds that deepening employees' hard and soft skills is critical to building their confidence, both inside and outside of the workplace. LESCO does this by providing staff with speech, physio, and occupational therapy weekly through the LESCO Care programme, over and above skills training initiatives. This benefits the company too. "More confident staff are happier and more productive workers. All of this enhances operations, too." This also benefits the economy at large. "Successful local companies are, after all, important drivers of the local economy," Nkosi says. "This is particularly relevant as we are recovering from lockdown."
Shapiro concurs. "As President Cyril Ramaphosa said during last month's Economic Reconstruction and Recovery speech: the only way to rebuild and grow South Africa's economy is to lower our reliance on imports and increase the quantity, quality, and value of our exports."
"According to the president, producing 10% of what we import ourselves could add 2% to our annual economy," he continues. "Based on last year's GDP value of $385 billion and current exchange rates, this comes down to R125.24 billion. This amount is no pocket change."
This estimate excludes the economic benefits of job creation, especially amongst those who have always been unemployed, and reliant on state support. Nkosi says; "Every single person who no longer relies on government grants because they have gained meaningful employment is a win for the private sector, the economy and country at large."

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just shared her capsule wardrobe on Instagram, showing how she wears 10 pieces on rotation in winter. The key to Rosie's style is to lean on quality classic pieces that can all be worn together, rather than wearing statement pieces or trends with an expiry date. If you don't have a budget for Rosie's "old" Celine boots and Saint Laurent bag, we've found 10 pieces in her winter wardrobe at & Other Stories.
When it comes to outerwear, Rosie shows you can't go wrong with a navy classic belted coat, a grey pinstripe wool blazer and a teddy-bear coat. Then she has three jumpers (a black roll-neck, a taupe chunky knit and a grey ribbed jumper), two pairs of black boots, a pair of black skinnies and straight-leg blue jeans. Keep scrolling to see and shop Rosie's capsule winter wardrobe.
Next up, take a look at Dakota Johnson's cool capsule wardrobe.

You may remember from the Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag post that wind is the most obnoxious element. Unless you're a sailor, or an anime character looking melodramatically into a forest, it's a nuisance. Rain, on the other hand, is nature's consistent gift to us all. I love rain.
Rain's main environmental theme gives it an unfair advantage over games 416-500. If it was called "Windy, sunny, sunscreen required", it wouldn't even be on the list.
It's a small, quiet game. You play as a nameless child that is trying to survive in a European city, where it is perpetually raining. The presentation and atmosphere are the game's highlights; ghostly text appears, describing the actions in front of you and dropping subtle hints. Camera angles ensure that you're constantly in awe at the silent and deadly beauty of the cobblestone streets, abandoned churches and horrifying enemies that lurk behind every corner.
The main antagonist, the Unknown, is one of the best villain designs I've ever seen and is unnaturally terrifying. It walks like a confident marionette, its paper-thin arm holds a freakish set of fingers. A specter of death, you never want this thing to see you. Think Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth meets Tar Man from Return of the Living Dead and you've got an idea of how creepy I found this thing. Points for that.
You do not want to pet these doggies.
The more I think about Rain, the more I admire it. Stealth isn't usually something I welcome with open arms, but in this case I never felt like I was being held back. Your character, and the monsters, are invisible unless they're exposed to the rain. The outlines are then shown, both to the player and the enemies, rendering you visible and exposed. It's a clever mechanic, and creatives a dichotomy where you begin to both admire and dread the downpour. Invisibility means temporary safety, but you must eventually get moving.
The Unknown is relentless, and I thought Rain went overboard on how often you would have to elude the creature. It appears to be indestructible, even after hours of dodging it, or trapping it; he ventures into Jason territory from Friday the 13th and is always right behind you. This would've be satisfactory if done a few times, but I did feel that it wore out its welcome long before the game's conclusion.
But repetition and shallow puzzles weren't nearly enough to drag down my appreciation. This somber fairy tale is so confident in its own storytelling that I felt totally justified in playing the entire game in a single setting. Since you don't have any fighting prowess at all, the dreary setting and efficient enemies take a psychological toll on you, helping you to greatly empathize with the two children and genuinely want to see a satisfying conclusion.
Rain is literally drenched in atmosphere, aided by a soundtrack that features appropriate piano tracks (Chopin's raindrop Prelude is particularly well used) and welcomed accordion melodies. Much like how you would seek sanctuary from a downpour by hiding under an awning, you're given a reprieve in Rain by doing so. It's all so natural, but surreal at the same time as you avoid the Unknown in an Eshcer-esque labyrinth in the Endgame. If you're a fan of rain and like feeling lonely once in a while, do yourself a favor and dive in.

The Act, if enacted, would significantly broaden the definition of a supervisory employee for purposes of vicarious liability under federal antidiscrimination statutes. A supervisor would not only be an individual with the ability "to take or recommend tangible employment actions," but also those "with the authority to direct the . . . daily work activities" of the victim of the allegedly discriminatory conduct. This definition of a supervisor would apply across the spectrum of federal antidiscrimination statutes including "title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, section 1977 of the Revised Statutes, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, the Government Employee Rights Act of 1991, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, and title III of the United States Code. . . ." The Act has garnered significant democratic support in both the House and Senate, and some believe it may get out of committee at least in the Senate.
· Federal trade secret legislation.
If passed, the Act would seriously impact the landscape of an employer's potential liability under federal antidiscrimination statutes. While few bills right now are finding their way through Congress and onto President Obama's desk, the Fair Employment Act of 2014 has found some traction in the Senate. At a minimum, the Act could become one of many talking points during the midterm elections and influence legislative agendas at the state and local levels of government. Employers must keep a close eye not only on Congress, but also state and local governments for any further legislative activity over the issue of an employer's liability for the actions of supervisory employees under federal, state and local antidiscrimination laws.

My nephew once asked me if he could come stay with me in New York City because he'd heard it was the city that never sleeps. Although he was undoubtedly fixated on this expression's more literal connotations, I understood what he meant because I, too, have been fascinated and downright smitten with NYC ever since I was a young girl.
It's easy to be captivated and even overwhelmed by the City's the endless opportunities to explore, sightsee, get lost, and be entertained. It makes total sense that first-time NYC visitors trying to plan out itineraries only a couple of days long are daunted by the task.
Truthfully, most NYC visitors only scratch the surface by visiting popular spots like Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Central Park. I'd like to highlight a Lower Manhattan 2-day itinerary that includes some well-known spots, as well as some quieter spots, you may not realize are right under your nose. This is not a hurry-up-and-cram-everything-in itinerary, but rather a get-to-know-Lower-Manhattan itinerary.
Let's head south, shall we?
The Brooklyn Bridge is my all-time favorite NYC landmark. No visit to Lower Manhattan, or to NYC for that matter, is complete without walking across the Brooklyn Bridge's elevated pedestrian promenade to admire the East River, the city skyline, and, of course, the bridge itself. The history of how the Brooklyn Bridge was built is an incredible story and I could elaborate at length on the bridge's engineering and the dramatic plot twists that took place during its construction.
But for the sake of keeping with the theme of the post (we only have 2 days after all!), just ponder over the epic task it was to undertake such a project before electricity and power tools and try to wrap your head around the Brooklyn Bridge being totally built by hand! The stone towers with their pointed Gothic arches and the geometric designs of the cables make for great photo opportunities, especially in the morning light.
You can see the Freedom Tower from the Brooklyn Bridge.
After your stroll across the bridge, walk through City Hall Park, cross Broadway, and head down Vesey Street to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. You will notice historic Trinity Church, which served as a place of refuge for workers and volunteers taking part in the 9/11 recovery efforts.
There is a lot of construction happening around the World Trade Center, but the Freedom Tower, the reflecting pools, and the museum are complete.
Head toward the World Trade Center for a visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, opened to the public since the spring of 2014 and still a new sight for many New Yorkers. The North and South Reflecting Pools are the original footprints of the Twin Towers. Names of the victims are inscribed into the surrounding ledges. The museum entrance is located between the 2 reflecting pools and is another must-do while visiting Lower Manhattan. The museum is incredibly well-done, serving both as a tribute to those lives lost and as an educational center about the events of that day.
There are places for silent reflection and to remember the people who perished.
The museum also has countless artifacts teaching about the events of that infamous day. Here is one of the mangled fire trucks from the World Trade Center site.
The museum is highly emotional and does have early exits if you wish to leave specific rooms or areas. You can avoid waiting in line by purchasing a timed-entry ticket online before your visit. Even better is to get a discount at up to 6 NYC sights with a CityPass. The museum suggests the subject-matter may not be suitable for children under 10 years old. Depending on your pace, the museum visit could take upwards of 3 hours.
After spending nearly 2 months(!) on jury duty, I can assure you Excellent Dumpling House at Lafayette and Canal Streets is the BEST Chinese food in Chinatown.
You'll undoubtedly be hungry after walking across the Brooklyn Bridge and visiting the 9/11 Museum, so head back towards Broadway and City Hall Park to catch either the "R" or "6" Train uptown to Canal Street, a.k.a Chinatown.
Do not think twice. Head directly to Excellent Dumpling House at Canal and Lafayette Streets and order as much food as you can possibly eat. Yes. It's that good!
Whether you want chicken with vegetables or you try some of their delicious noodle soup (sorry no photo…I ate it all!), you will be glad you didn't wander Chinatown trying to figure out where to eat.
When you're blissfully stuffed, wander through Chinatown, do some shopping, find some delicious (and hard to find!) Asian fruits, and take in the ambiance of the chaotic foot and vehicle traffic.
TIP: Want an NYC Do and Don't? Skip Little Italy. Opt instead for some authentic Italian bites on Day 2. Keep reading!
If you can, meander off-the-beaten-path down Mott St. to find the iconic streets, Pell and Doyers. Film and TV crews used these quiet streets for numerous scenes in TV shows and movies. Nom Wah Tea Parlor is still open after nearly 90 years and Tings Gift Shop sells trinkets you can only find in Chinatown. Don't be fooled by the calm, though. Doyers Street used to be infamous in the 1930s for its Chinese gang murders and its secret alleys to help gang members escape.
No exploration of Lower Manhattan is complete without a visit to Greenwich Village. Take the "1" Train south to Christopher Street. Stroll down Grove Street and to Bedford Street. You'll notice these narrow streets are quieter and lined with houses. Among these streets, there are countless not-to-miss places! Here are a few.
At the corner of Grove and Bedford Streets, you'll find the building used for exterior shots of the Friends apartment building.
Before heading down Bedford Street, take a look at one of the oldest houses in NYC, made with a wooden frame, which today is not permitted by modern day building codes.
Then, walk further on Grove Street and find a collection of Federalist style row houses and the secretive Grove's Court.
Some of the Federalist style row houses still have the original wrought-iron railings. These round-arched openings came in handy as boot scrapes back when the roads were full of mud!
Head back to Bedford Street and turn right to find 75.5 Bedford Street, a.k.a the narrowest house in NYC, at just 9 feet wide! It was once the home to several celebrities, including Cary Grant.
The next stop is Bleecker Street, so I hope you're feeling hungry! Bleecker Street is its own Little Italy and actually much better if you ask me! You could do your own food tour on Bleecker Street alone.
Taste the rice balls at Faiccos's Italian Specialties.
Oops..I took a bite before I got a photo! But, it smelled so good!
Sit and taste the cannolis and other sweets at Pasticceria Rocco.
Save room for a slice of pizza or 2. Visit Bleecker Street Pizza for a margarita slice Food Network named "best pizza." Then, pass the old Italian church on the corner of Bleecker Street and cross over 6th Avenue on your way to Macdougal Street.
At 111 Macdougal Street taste an artichoke slice at the aptly named Artichoke Pizza. You simply cannot leave Greenwich Village without tasting it! The artichokes are chopped up super finely or pureed and mixed with a creamy, cheesy concoction of pizza heaven. The crust is doubled for extra crunchiness.
I've been dreaming of this artichoke slice.
At this point, you'll be good and stuffed so walking off some calories is certainly in order. Walk north to the southernmost entrance to the High Line, at Gansevoort and Washington Streets.
The High Line is an elevated, urban park built on old freight railway tracks. It runs from this southernmost point up to 34th street on Manhattan's far west side. There are plantings and gardens along the old rail tracks, as well as art installations, exhibitions, events, and food and drink carts along the way. Anytime is great for strolling in NYC's parks but in the fall, the foliage colors are vibrant and spectacular.
Public art displays are part of the park's appeal.
Take in the views. Stop to sit and soak up the atmosphere of the park with the busy city streets just below you. If you walk the High Line to the end, you'll be back in midtown at 34th street. Glimpsing the iconic NYC skyline from above would be a great way to finish the day. Time it right to see the views from the Top of the Rock. The views are best at dusk when the city's lights are just beginning to sparkle.
Is this an exhaustive list of all the things to see and do in Lower Manhattan? Of course not! That would be nearly impossible in the city that never sleeps. Hopefully, though, you end your visit to New York City feeling content at having explored Lower Manhattan like a local.
Have you been to Lower Manhattan? How have you felt like a local in a new city?
I still haven't been to NYC, but it's been on my bucket-list for a really long time. I prefer to avoid the tourist crowds as well and discover a place like a local. It's much trickier, but so worth it! I've just booked marked your post for when I do come to NYC. Please, never get bored of blogging! I love following your adventures.
Such kind words, Mia! Thank you! I'm loving the time I put into the blog, so I hope you'll continue to follow along. 😉 It's so great when you can explore a new place without doing what every other tourist does. Hope you find some of these places enjoyable when you make it to NYC.
It's best to explore a new place like how a local does, it gives you a better feel of the place. Thanks for pointing out cool spots to visit. the ideas. Manhattan sure does have a lot to offer and I am really thrilled to see some of these places here in your blog.
It's so true, Karla. Finding local spots helps you get such a better sense of a place and in Manhattan there are so many places to explore!
I've been to New York for 10 days and still felt like I only scratched the surface! What a great city it is! Would love to come back to walk the High line!
NYC has so much to offer, Els! The High Line is great in the spring and fall and there are events and activities listed on their website, Friends of the Highline. Hope you are able to make it back.
Thanks, Simone! NYC is such a special place!
Great guide Jackie! I visited NYC only once with my family when I was a kid and to be honest it was all a blur. I can't wait to go back one day and give this awesome city the attention it deserves. I'll definitely be referring to this post before I head back.
Terrific post – it's made me want to go to back to New York so much! I haven't been for years and there's lots that's new and I need to see….
Thank you, Sarah! So glad it inspired you to return. There's always something new happening in the Big Apple!
Love, love, love! Great tips. Love the fact that these are all locally recommended. Makes all the difference!
Thank you, Anna! You are so right! Local tips and advice are always great.
Great guide with plenty of detail and photos.
Thank you, Beverly. Glad it's useful.
I love Lower Manhattan! when I lived on the Upper West Side years ago I never wandered down there. It did seem all grimy and urban. Now, it's one of our favourite parts of Manhattan when I bring the kids back to visit.
Now that we live on the west coast, we don't visit NY as much but this is a great guide for our trip in 2016.
Fantastic, Lesley! Happy to answer any questions you have or offer any tips to make your trip great!
When I lived in DC, I'd go up to NYC one weekend a month and stay in Lower Manhattan. I learned a lot about it then, and I found it to be really cool. It has a spark of its own.
That's great you were able to make it up to NYC so often, Laura. You are so right. Lower Manhattan does have a spark of its own. It's chic, but with a relaxed and free feeling.
We are going to NYC in a few weeks for the first time, so this is such a great post for me to add to our ever growing list of things to see and do.
Thank you for linking this post up with #TheWeeklyPostcard . This is high on my bucket list so I'll be sure to use as a reference. Times Square, Central Park, Empire State Building and so much more on my list, but to explore as a local is premium. Hopefully in 2017 we get to US and Canada.
Thanks for the invite, Lyn, and for stopping by to read and comment! I'm with you. Local tips and advice can't be beat. Hope you can make it for a visit in 2017!
Such an amazing roundup guide! NY just has so many things to offer!
Thanks, Erica! Yes, NYC is such an exciting place to visit.
That's a very informative post. Thanks for sharing. New York is on the top of my list so this 2 day itinerary is ideal for a trip there.
Thank you. Glad it will be useful for your NYC trip!
New York! I would love to go some day. I've only been to Las Vegas and Hawaii, I have so much more to see in the US. New York is definitely on top of my list next time I visit. I love your tips! The best way to see a city is always in the eyes of a local .
Thanks, Gia! Local tips are always the way to go. I haven't been to Hawaii yet, but I'd love to go! Hope you make it to NYC soon.
Never been to NY yet and i think i'll print your post for a dream travel!! The Friends building is absolutely a bucket list!!
Ha! Yes, Mags, I guess there weren't too many dancers gobbling up slices of artichoke pizza and rice balls! NYC is such fun! Hope you can make it back soon!
first time I visited NYC I was there for 5,5 days. Needless to say with good planning (it's the one itinerary I'm SO proud about) I not only did the tourist stuff, but explored Greenwich Village/SoHo and Chinatown! I didn't walk on Brooklyn Bridge, but eventually managed to on my second visit to the city! I'll agree about Little Italy…I was not impressed. The best Italian restaurant I've visited in NYC (twice) is il Buco in NoHo.
Awesome, Anna! It sounds like you had great trips to NYC and really got a feel for it! I'll have to give il Buco a try! Next time, try out either Morandi or Lupa (both in the Greenwich Village area) for excellent Italian food!
Great list – I tried as many slices as I could in the city and Bleeker was still the best around. I'll be back to NY for a quick visit in a few weeks, actually, and that's one of the things I'm very much looking forward to!
We are heading to NYC in November and this is absolutely PERFECT!!!! I love itineraries like this that are so detailed and do the planning for me! Thanks so much Jackie!
I'm visiting NYC in a few weeks and will stay in lower Manhattan this time. I bullet-pointed all the places you recommended and can't wait to follow your itinerary!

What kind of breathing room does an em dash require? Plenty of other things happened this week, but that question is what really matters — and we'll get to it in due course.
But first—the news. And we begin with congratulations to Mike Parker, who will be awarded the TDC Medal on April 6.
The January type acquisitions by the Museum of Modern Art are back in the news. Paul Shaw has seen the exhibition and has a thoughtful response to it. For another take on the MoMA type acquisitions, there is an AIGA-sponsored conversation with Matthew Carter, Jonathan Hoefler, and Paola Antonelli on March 28. Alas, it's too late to get tickets — and the likelihood of no-shows is slim. Maybe some kind folks will write about it, too.
When Mark Simonson recently took the edge off his workhorse geometric sans with Proxima Nova Soft, it might have started a bit of a trend. This week saw the release of Jos Buivenga's Museo Sans Rounded, an "unsharpened" addition to the increasingly prodigious Museo series.
Speaking of soft and rounded … Colophon released the ultra clean Monosten earlier this year and has since propped it up with the addition of light and bold weights, including the obligatory stencil variations.
Greg Ponchak's experimental, monospaced MN00 follows a strict, angular grid and echoes some of the visual patterns found in woven textiles.
Delicate blossoms, leaves, buds, and tendrils propagate through Weingut, a fanciful high contrast script from FaceType. Separate weights containing letterforms and flourishes allow for stacking and coloring for a chromatic effect. And as if that wasn't enough flair to illuminate your manuscript, there's also a set of decorative swashes and ornaments.
The seemingly inexhaustible Pablo Impallari has graced us with yet another two faces specifically designed as webfonts. The first is the low contrast, classically proportioned Quattrocento Roman — appropriately described as both "elegant" and "sober." In an interesting aside, Pablo reveals that he designed the capital Q to reflect his admiration of Doyald Young.
On the other end of the typographic spectrum, Pablo presents Dancing Script. This bouncy, casual number tips its hat to popular display scripts of the 1950s.
Google Web Fonts was definitely on a roll this week, with two more typefaces gracing our news. Vernon Adams' Oswald is a fairly traditional, condensed gothic sans that has been redrawn and optimized for that pesky pixel grid.
Next, we have Gesine Todt's lovely Amaranth, a very readable, upright italic with distinctive loops and swings reminiscent of José Scaglione's and Veronika Burian's Bree. As always, all four of these webfonts are free, web-ready, and open source.
Serbian designer Dušan Jelesijevic took twenty four of his eighth grade students and asked them to create a hand drawn Cyrillic headline font for use in their school magazine. The result was Osmacka Azbukovica, a charming typeface packed with personality and unsullied by adult intervention (except for the technical bits).
Fresh from Jeremy Dooley's Insigne Design is a crisp, six weight linear sans family called Sancoale. Curvaceous strokes, true italics, and stemmed alternates are included.
How about an extra condensed, grotesque-inspired display face from Latinotype? We thought you'd never ask. Mazúrquica features three wonderfully named weights (Liviana, Media, Pesada) and a selection of uppercase ligatures that'll add some Latin heat to your headlines.
With so many new typefaces to choose from, it would be good to know how to choose wisely. Stephen Coles offered guidance at South by Southwest and has posted his thoughts and other resources on Typographica . Douglas Bonneville also has written some advice on choosing a typeface for Smashing Magazine . On the web, we don't always have the luxury of using our first choice, even when we're using @font-face; Josh Brewer has come along to save the day with his "Choosing Fallback Fonts" for the Typekit blog.
Ostensibly about type but really about lettering, "I Believe in Type" is still worth a gander.
Lovely lettering abounds in "Sentimental Journey," a postcard series by Kris Sowersby, Sarah Maxey, and Kate Camp.
LetterCult has named Niels Shoe Meulman its 2010 Person of the Year.
Dyana Weissman reviews Typeface , the recent documentary about the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum.
A newer technology headlines the latest Field Notes limited edition notebooks — and are just about perfect for the budding typesetter. Get them while you can.
Thomas Phinney guides us through the reality of point size and the em square in the age of digital type.
Speaking of technology: four monitors! — or more? In any case, check out Martin Majoor working on Questa.

Finally, Twitter was abuzz this past weekend over the the appropriateness of the presence (or absence) spaces on either side of an em dash. No matter where one lands on this most pressing issue of our time, I'm sure we can all agree that — when used sparingly — the em dash is a wonderful rhetorical tool — and that it's fun to discuss the minutiae of its use.
That's it for this week. But surely something is awry, surely we got some niggling detail or other wrong—please let us know about it in the comments.
Thanks to the pro-space Grant Hutchinson for guiding us through this week's new type!
A space on each side of an em dash is never allowed in good typography. Print or web. Hairline space to adjust visual spacing is the only exception.
Unfortunately, hairline spaces on the web are more often than not displayed as full-spaces; the tight typographic control often present in print just isn't available to the same degree on the screen. And not using spaces (my preference, personally) can result in awkward line breaks as the browser tries to decide whether to break before or after the em-dash, or not break it at all. Different mediums have different constraints that lead to different solutions.
A space on each side of an em dash is never allowed in good typography.
I recommend a trip outside the US.
Absolute rules like this are usually silly. Cultural norms can have an impact on readability, and while spaceless dashes are common in American typography, it's not such a default in Europe.
Also important: the length of em and en dashes can vary quite a bit between fonts, so the visual effect is not always the same.
Stephen, I was born in Europe and I am familiar with the typographic styles used in foreign countries. That does not give us the license to create bad typography. Being adaptive has its limited merits, but I repeat "A space on each side of an em dash is never allowed in good typography." I have spent a good deal of time correcting "European Style" when a US publisher purchases a book from a UK publisher, for example. How far would you go in being adaptive in a case like that? And if an em dash is too wide in the font you are using be adaptive in that case, and substitute it with a dash from another font. Typography is an organic process. I see from tour usage of ellipses above that your opinion on their proper spacing also varies from mine.
Giorgetta, I apologize for assuming your nationality. To me, "bad typography" is only that which communicates poorly or impedes reading, not the lack of adherence to a list of rules.
Giorgetta, I would like to see where you have seen this "rule" consistently documented. In my opinion, not having some space on either side of an em dash makes reading far more uncomfortable and complicated than is necessary.
Ever heard about The Chicago Manual of Style?
Ever been familiar with the house styles of most major publishers?
Thin space, or hairline space is the only adjustment allowed to improve legibility in most legitimate publications. Full space around the em dash is incorrect and looks amateurish. Of course, that does not preclude people from having a personal preference. But, if we all went about following our own likes and dislikes when setting type, and ignoring the rules, yes "rules" my fellow typophile, what a mess we would have before our eyes!
In my tests it makes a big diff if the font contains the space or if it's being synthesized by the browser. Correct synthesis of   (#8201) and   (#8202) is an iffy proposition if it's not an actual "empty" glyph in the font.
FYI – at my suggestion, the Font Squirrel @font-face Generator automatically adds a full compliment of these General Punctuation/Spacing characters plus, I believe, a couple of spacer glyphs for mathematics, too.
I'm with Grant and Stephen on this. Onscreen, at least, I prefer that an em dash be sandwiched in between two hairspaces.
Giorgetta, Chicago is one style guide. According to the MLA and AP style guides, the em dash should be spaced.
My point is: rather than blindly follow a set of disputed rules, determine what's best given the situation, the typeface, the length of the dash, the linespacing, and your own house style. Then, be consistent throughout a piece.
In German typography, we use en-dashes with spaces to indicate a new thought – like this – in the middle of a sentence. Em-dashes are also called Streckenstrich, a Strecke being a distance, both in time and space. A timetable would this read Hamburg—Berlin, i.e. em-dash without spaces, and a TV programme Nachrichten 20:00—20:30.
I have entered two en-dashes on my Mac keyboard and I notice that the hyphen looks just like the en–dash here. Looks weird with these large wordspaces, but it looks good in print, I promise. Unfortunately, the real em-dash is hardly being used anymore and seems to be going the way of the apostrophe which is not identical with a foot- or hour-mark.

Q: how to change colour of button and layout of form in contact form 7 in wordpress I am using wordpress for the first time and have no complete knowledge of it.I am using contact form 7 plugin and created a simple contact form but i want to make changes to it according to my site.I tried doing it and went through some videos also and worked accordingly but could'nt make any changes to it.Please help me out.

A: Publish the form on your site and inspect the elements you want to change (right click -> Inspect), preferably in Google Chrome, open the styles tag and change the CSS rules. When you are satisfied with the new look, copy the new styles in style.css in your theme folder. When you refresh, you'll notice that some styles have applied and that some parts haven't changed. You'll have to add !important next to those styles in your style.css file. I have to note that !important should be avoided but sadly when changing some Wordpress plugnis there isn't any other way.

In Tokyo, Harris calls US-Japan alliance 'a cornerstone'
Published: September 26, 2022, 5:23 AM Updated: September 26, 2022, 10:06 PM

TOKYO – U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida shortly after arriving in Tokyo for the state funeral of assassinated former leader Shinzo Abe.
Abe, a former prime minister who was assassinated in July, will be honored on Tuesday, and Harris is leading a U.S. delegation to pay its respects.
"The alliance between Japan and the United States is a cornerstone of what we believe is integral to peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region," she said Monday at the Akasaka Palace.
Kishida said Abe "poured his heart and soul" into strengthening ties between their two countries.
"I feel it is my duty to carry on his aspirations," Kishida said.
Abe forged closer ties with the United States at a time of increased concern about China's ambitions, and Kishida is continuing his push for a stronger national defense.
The potential for war over Taiwan, a self-governed island that China claims as part of its own territory, has troubled Japan, which would likely be pulled into such a conflict.
President Joe Biden said recently that the U.S. would send its own troops to defend Taiwan if China attacked.
"The president has addressed that issue. And if it comes up, the vice president will align with the president," said a senior administration official, who requested anonymity to discuss a private meeting.
The official also said Harris would "make clear our ironclad commitment to Japan's security." More than 50,000 U.S. troops are based there.
Harris on Thursday will visit South Korea and its Prime Minister Han Duck-soo during a meeting early Tuesday said Harris will make a trip to the Demilitarized Zone, the border area with North Korea that is jointly controlled by the American-led United Nations Command and North Korea.
A White House official, speaking on the condition on anonymity, confirmed that Harris will tour sites at the DMZ and visit with troops there to demonstrate that the U.S. commitment to South Korea's defense is "ironclad."
Her visit, the first by a ranking U.S. official since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went to the DMZ in August, will come the same week North Korea test-fired a short-range ballistic missile in apparent response to joint military exercises between the U.S. and Korea. Harris will be the highest-level American to go to the DMZ since former President Donald Trump visited in 2019 for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Harris, who is scheduled to spend three nights in Tokyo, is visiting Japan at a politically fraught moment. Kishida's decision to hold a state funeral for Abe, a conservative nationalist, has been controversial in a country where such memorials are uncommon, and some oppose honoring him in this way.
Kishida is also pushing for a dramatic expansion of defense spending that would give Japan the world's third-largest military budget in the coming years, after the United States and China. A new national security strategy, the first in almost a decade, is in the works as well.
The debate is playing out as Japan reevaluates the risk of war after the shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, said Christopher Johnstone, senior adviser and Japan chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The fighting in Europe is a reminder that "conflict really is possible," he said, and "Japan lives in a pretty difficult neighborhood."
Japan is upgrading missiles and considering using them for preemptive strikes — a move critics say would fundamentally change the country's defense policy and breach the postwar pacifist constitution that limits use of force to self-defense.
It has also shifted its defense from the northeast to southwestern Japan, including Okinawa and other remote islands.

Two Alleged Mass Murderers—Why Does Google Give Dylann Roof 4,000,000 Hits, But David Conley III Only 1,910?
Dylann Roof: 4,000,000.
David Conley III: 1,910.
Perhaps this will help:
David Conley III
Much of this racial disparity is due to the mainstream media's suppression of reporting on black mass, serial, and spree killers, and simultaneous saturation reporting on white killers, especially the rare white, like Roof, who murders blacks. But it's also due to Google's own suppression.
A personal example: Back in May 2007, I wrote the first report for a national outlet on the January 6, 2007 Knoxville Horror, the racially motivated carjacking, kidnapping, gang-rape, torture-murders of the white couple Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom by seven blacks. Five of the attackers have been convicted, and sentenced to wildly differing prison terms, while DNA analysis has identified the semen that two anonymous rapist-killers who have yet to be caught, left in Christian's panties.
My American Renaissance editor, Jared Taylor, ran my report at the top of his daily round-up on May 14, 2007.
Jared then had me do additional research and expand my original 1,750-word version to 3,500 words, which he then published as the cover story of the July 2007 issue of the late, lamented American Renaissance magazine.
In September or October of that year, I searched Google for my reports for Jared. No matter how many hits showed up for a topic at Google, the search engine would only give a sampling of 1,000 hits—100 ten-item pages. I went through every entry on every page, but there wasn't a single entry for my reports.
That was Google's own censorship.
To anyone who believes Google's fairy tales about impersonal "algorithms," I have a great deal for you on a slightly used bridge. Google has even confessed to rigging its rankings, though it denies that there's anything wrong with that.

'Avatar' holds the top spot for six consecutive weeks, exceeds $2 billion

"Avatar: The Way of Water" was the top-grossing film in theatres for the sixth consecutive weekend, making it the first film since "Avatar" in 2009 to have such a continuous reign."
According to studio estimates released on Sunday, "The Way of Water" added $19.7 million in U.S. and Canadian cinemas over the weekend. Its global total has already topped $2 billion, placing it in sixth place for all-time, slightly ahead of "Spider-Man: No Way Home." The domestic total for "The Way of Water" has reached $598 million. Continually solid foreign sales ($56,3 million over the weekend) have pushed the global gross of the "Avatar" sequel to $2.02 billion.
A year ago, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" likewise dominated the box office for six consecutive weekends, but it did so across seven weeks. You must go back to James Cameron's original "Avatar" to discover a film that held the top spot for so long. ("Avatar" eventually peaked at seven weeks). Before it, "Titanic" (1997) was the only picture in the previous 25 years to achieve this accomplishment; it remained unbeaten for 15 weeks.
The extremely expensive sequel "The Way of Water" has already attained a goal that Cameron himself set for the film. Before the film's premiere, Cameron stated that becoming the third or fourth best-grossing film in history was "your break even."
"The absence of significant competitors has partially boosted the Way of Water's" box office dominance. "Missing" was the only new wide release from a major studio for the weekend ", from Screen Gems by Sony and Stage 6 Films. A low-budget sequel to "Searching" from 2018 ", Missing," starring Storm Reid as a teen searching for her mother, is displayed on computer screens. The picture launched with $9.3 million against a budget of $7 million.
Typically, January is a sluggish month at the box office, but a few strong-performing holdovers have helped boost revenues.
As one of the only family-friendly options in cinemas during the past month, Universal Pictures' "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" has enjoyed a strong run despite a lacklustre December debut. In its fifth week, it ranked second with domestic sales of $11.5 million and international sales of $17.8 million. The "Kitten in Boots" "sequel has earned $297,5 million worldwide.
Also from Universal, the eerie doll horror smash "M3gan" has continued to attract moviegoers. In its third week, it earned $9.8 million, increasing its domestic total to $73.3 million.
And while the success of horror films in theatres is not a new phenomenon, Sony Pictures' "A Man Called Otto" is a notable exception "Tom Hanks has thrived in a market that has been difficult for adult-oriented dramas. In its second week of wide release, the remake of the Swedish film "A Man Named Ove" about a retired man whose suicide his neighbors continuously thwarted attempts grossed $9 million. It has grossed $35,3 million domestically as of Sunday.
According to Comscore, estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday in U.S. and Canadian theatres. On Monday, the final domestic data will be announced.

Embarrassed by Warlords of Draenor Launch, Blizzard Offer Free Play-time
The launch of Warlords of Draenor was definitely one of the most anticlimactic moments of the year in gaming: thousands upon thousands of players world-wide, eager to sink their fangs into the new content and to re-immerse themselves into the World of Warcraft – were essentially left frustrated and unable to actually join the game upon launch. The backlash over the issue was massive and the potential PR pitfalls that it entailed weren't lost on Blizzard either. A couple of days ago, Executive Producer J.Allan Brack officially admitted that the launch was indeed a subpar experience for players, in a post on the official WOW forums. While he expressed satisfaction with the way the community has received the new expansion, he said that the quality of the product could not serve as an excuse for the poor form of the launch.
Fortunately for the legions of players affected by the launch problems, Brack didn't stop there: he said that for all subscriptions that were active on November 14, 5 additional days of play-time would be added as compensation for the problems incurred.
While the launch problems were bad as they were with hundreds of thousands of new and returning players flooding the servers of the game, they were exacerbated by an alleged DDoS attack, which obviously made matters much worse. Blizzard reacted to the problems by expanding its instancing, as a result of which, realm capacity has been doubled. Still, problems due to overcrowding persisted.
Wrapping up his arguments, Brack offered an apology to the WOW community, saying once again that Blizzard loved their product and that the launch fiasco therefore doubly hurt them.
Frustration over the failed launch ran so high within the community that the main World of Warcraft subreddit got shut down at one point by the moderators in protest.

Matcha is a type of green tea that's grown in the shade. After the leaves are harvested, they're steamed and then ground into a powder. Unlike a traditional tea bag, which you steep in hot water and discard, you consume the actual powdered tea leaves when downing a mug of matcha.
Matcha isn't just any kind of green tea. It contains more caffeine as well as higher concentrations of the amino acid L-theanine than other green teas. One gram of premium grade matcha powder—the daily recommended dose—serves up about 30 mg of caffeine. (An 8-ounce cup of coffee, by comparison, packs about 95 mg.) But unlike the jolt you get with java, the combination of caffeine plus L-theanine delivers a different effect—research shows that it can make you feel alert, yet relaxed at the same time.
In addition, matcha contains much higher concentrations of the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) compared with other types of green tea. The compound may protect against many different diseases including cancer, studies show.
Get your froth on
Want to try the tea? Start by getting some matcha powder, which is widely available in stores and online. To make it, heat water until just before it boils. In a bowl or cup, combine about 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with 6 ounces of the hot water. Using a matcha whisk or electric frother, blend the water and powder together until the matcha becomes frothy. Then it's ready to drink!
