Responsible tourism: Hill Brow pub with b&b, South Downs, England
The pub itself was built in the 1820's/30's so is a rather old building. The original walls have no foundations, are 18 inches thick and are made of stone. We had a wall removed inside the building and the workman didn't know what had hit him when he was trying to knock it down; 18 inch thick walls are very solid. This architecture is really solid and keeps out the damp as well.
We have a garden behind the pub and a short two minute walk takes you to the woods. You might see a deer or two running about the place. There are also plenty of birds that live in the woods and visit the garden. They all come in the morning and sing the dawn chorus. Anne feeds the birds by spraying the feed across the garden. We were told by a bird man in Australia that this encourages them to forage and reduces cross contamination of disease between species on the bird trays.
We have a herb garden which we of course use in our cooking.
People arrive in all sorts of ways. There is a bus stop right across the road from the pub that is really handy. Even locals arriving from Liss get the bus to the pub for lunch rather than drive and then enjoy a nice walk back home. Many people arrive by foot and bicycle and there is plenty of opportunity for cycling in the area; there are cycle paths all across the hills and bmxing in the woods. We often get cyclist arriving on Sunday mornings, booking a table for lunch, going to a ride and arriving back in time for their meal.
We try to be environmentally friendly where we can; we have timers on all the fridges in the bar so they are not running all night. They only take 40 minutes to cool in the morning so why waste 11 hours of electricity keeping them cold all night? We have just had a glow worm boiler fitted and the old leaky pipes replaced to save on gas. We compost and also have a Green Cone Waste Digester that can be used for all kind of food; we fill it mainly with vegetable waste. Finally, we've had a clothes bank outside the pub for years. It's great; any of the clothes that don't get reused are still recycled as they get stripped back down to their threads.
We try our best to reduce our menu miles by getting the ingredients from Local suppliers. We purchase our meat from Morgans Butchers in Petersfield, we use Bryant Bros based in Greatham for fruit and vegetables. We receive lots of berries from a gentleman nearby who grows them in his 10 acres of woodland. We make and sell jams, marmalades, piccalilli and chutneys. We purchase honey from a local in the bar. Our son suffers from hay fever, so by eating local honey, he is building up immunity to the pollen in the local area as the bees will have pollinated the plants around us.
We also try to employ local businesses for work we need done in the pub. We recently had the flooring replaced in a section of the bar and employed a local, Kevin who has a shop in the village aptly called On All Floors.
The pub holds a few community activities; there's a Sweet Meeting on the first Monday of the month. Come and taste 6 puddings; 3 hot and 3 cold, each get a score, then a winner is declared and served for the rest of the month. Everyone is welcome to eat seconds of their favourites. The Aston Martin Club come and meet up here on the first Tuesday in the month.
The local village has everything you might need from shops, to cafes, to restaurants to hairdressers. I would send people to my favourite; The Saki Curry house serve an amazing curry. There's plenty or markets and things around too. There's a good Christmas market in Liss and in Petersfield there's a farmers market and a German market.
This area of the South Downs National Park has lots of attractions that visitors can visit with ease. Midhurst isn't far from here and is home to Cowdray Park, with Cowdray Ruins. There are a few National Trust houses as well; Uppark House and Gardens and Petworth House and Gardens are both very nice. Goodwood Racecourse is of course why many people come to the area, and the beautiful Elizabeth Country Park is great for walking and cycling.
The surrounding area of the pub is made up of lovely foliage, clematis, climbing roses, hydrangea, holly, bluebells, japonica, laurel and daffodils. With pine, fir and oak trees providing the back drop. There is a huge tree in our car park that has been recognised by a guest as a very rare type of conifer. She wasn't sure exactly the species but she knew that it was a rare treasure. I love to go walking in the woods, as do many of the people that come to visit. There are lots of public footpaths in the woods; I particularly like to walk on one in the woods behind us, it's about a 30 minute loop and a nice breath of fresh air.
The History of the pub is really interesting and a great story to tell. The pub was built by a drover called Knowles in the 1820's or 30's. He was very good at his job and the cattle he drove would arrive at market in a good condition he knew the places where good watering holes could be found. This ensured the farmer gained a good price and Mr. Knowles earned good commission. Knowles used his money to buy some land on the way. He built this pub which was also a brewery and a couple of other buildings including a barn. The pub was built as a stop off point for people like himself to have a drink on their travels. The wood just down the road that is named after him; Knowles Meadow. He lived in the pub with his daughters; one of which died inside. We've always felt there might be a ghost in the pub and we named it George. Recently we found out that Knowles' daughter who dies was called Georgie. Spooky!
There was also a drive through barn used for horse rustling. The barn now makes up the rooms for guests to stay in. It is made of stone and has smaller black darts of flint between the larger stones. These are known as witch stones; a witch had to count all the stones on a building before she could enter and by including these witch stones she'd be stuck outside all night until the sun came up.

Mentalista (v anglickém originále The Mentalist) je americký dramatický televizní seriál z policejního prostředí, který byl vysílán v letech 2008–2015. Ústřední postavou je Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), konzultant Kalifornského úřadu pro vyšetřování (California Bureau of Investigation, zkráceně CBI), který dokáže vyčíst mnoho poznatků z řeči těla a chování lidí kolem sebe. Dalšími postavami jsou ostatní členové týmu. Děj seriálu je propojen snahou o dopadení sériového vraha Rudého Johna (anglicky Red John), který zabil Patrickovu ženu a dceru.

Styl
Seriál se odehrává v prostředí podobném například Kriminálce Miami, nezobrazuje ale vědecké vyšetřovací metody a detektivy mezi mikroskopy, tento prvek je nahrazen schopnostmi Patricka Janea, proto jej lze zároveň přirovnat k Dr. Housovi nebo Monkovi. Oproti Gregu Housovi chybí velká míra arogance hlavní postavy, byť možná až přílišná sebejistota se odepřít nedá, není však rozhodně tak zakřiknutý a puntičkářský jako Monk. Vzhledem k umístění do Kalifornie se v žádném dílu nevyskytuje sníh, je vždy velmi teplo (s výjimkou únosu Van Peltové – to se odehrává v zasněžených horách a to je v 6. sérii).

Postavy

Patrick Jane
Patricka Jana hraje Simon Baker. Konzultant CBI se znalostmi řeči těla a chování. Každý případ je velkou měrou uzavřen právě díky jeho schopnostem. Často lže, vymýšlí triky, o nichž kolegům a nadřízeným nic neřekne, ale tyto hry většinou vedou k dopadení pachatele. Odmítá dodržovat pravidla a standardní postupy, své přešlapy pak žehlí okouzlujícím úsměvem. Někdy se chová jako arogantní egoistický manipulant, ale ve skutečnosti je citlivý a zranitelný. Jeho životním cílem je pomsta; veřejně tvrdí, že až bude Rudý John dopaden, osobně ho zabije a nepřenechá ho policii, což se také stane. Velice rád pije kvalitní čínský čaj, zejména Lapsang souchong a různé druhy Oolongu. Nejraději přemýšlí vleže na svém gauči, kde i často spí (je schopen usnout snad kdekoliv). Je silný ateista a odmítá jakékoliv nadpřirozené a nevysvětlitelné jevy. Nosí perfektní oblek s vestou, jezdí veteránem značky Citroën DS 21. V mládí Patrick kočoval spolu se svým otcem po poutích, kde se živili jeho schopnostmi "zázračného chlapce". Později pracoval jako okultista, předstíral lidem kontakt se záhrobím a podobně. Takto se dostal i do televizní show, kde nazval sériového vraha Rudého Johna malým smutným mužem. Po návratu domů objevil zavražděnou ženu a dceru. Od té doby se nezaplétá s ženami, pouze v první sérii ho na krátkou dobu okouzlí jedna pachatelka. Později se seznámil s Kristinou Fryovou, jež se živí jako "médium", tu poté Rudý John unese. Ten mu také pošle ženu jménem Lorelei, která Patricka svede. Po zabití Rudého Johna a po dvouletém ukrývání v Mexiku uzavře dohodu s FBI a začne pro ně pracovat. Začne něco cítit k Terese Lisbonové, ale neví, co s tím, hledají k sobě cestu, v posledním díle sedmé série (Bílé orchideje) se s ní ožení a také zjistíme, že Lisbonová je v jiném stavu.

Teresa Lisbonová
Teresu Lisbonovou hraje Robin Tunney. Vedoucí týmu, dříve pracovala v týmu agenta Bosca. Potrpí si na dodržování služebních postupů a profesionalitu, což je v rozporu s Patrickovým přístupem. Její otec byl alkoholik, matka zahynula při automobilové nehodě. Má tři bratry. Teresa je nejstarší a své tři bratry vychovala v podstatě ona. Jejím velkým úkolem je držet na uzdě Patricka; jako jediná z týmu dokáže odolávat jeho vyšetřovacím zkratkám. Občas je i vidět, že má pro Jana slabost. Ve spoustě dílů je vidět, jak o něho stojí, ale ani jeden si to nedokáže přiznat. Na konci sedmé série se s Patrickem vezme.

Kimball Cho
Kimballa Cho hraje Tim Kang. Člen týmu Teresy Lisbonové, má nejbližší vztah s Patrickem. Dříve byl členem gangu Avon Park Playboys, po odsouzení nejbližšího přítele za nedovolené držení zbraní vstoupil do armády, poté se stal policistou. Jeho typickým rysem je tvrdý a chladný postoj u výslechu. Zřídkakdy mění výraz tváře, úsměv je u něho velice vzácný.

Wayne Rigsby
Wayna Rigsbyho hraje Owain Yeoman. Člen týmu Teresy Lisbonové, dříve člen jednotky zabývající se žhářstvím. Zamilován do Grace Van Peltové, od druhé série mezi sebou mají vztah, který je ovšem veřejným tajemstvím, protože je to v rozporu s pravidly jednotky. Přátelí se s Kimballem, probírá s ním vztah s Grace. Po několika neúspěšných pokusech o jiný vztah se dá znovu dohromady s Grace a nakonec se s ní ožení. Seriál si často dělá legraci z jeho posedlosti jídlem, často jí v autě nebo tam jídlo hledá.

Grace Van Peltová
Grace Van Peltovou hraje Amanda Righetti. Nejnovější členka týmu, často zůstává v centru CBI a provádí rešerše. Je velmi cílevědomá, snaží se získat uznání. Je řadovou členkou týmu. Má poměr s Rigsbym, který se s ní nakonec ožení. Věří v mnoho okultních záležitostí, je duchovně založená, z čehož si Patrick často dělá legraci.

Rudý John
Rudý John, sériový vrah, vždy promlouvá buď písemně, nebo přes prostředníka. Zabil Patrickovu ženu a dceru. Své oběti typickým způsobem podřezává, vždy k nim má nějaký emocionální vztah. Na stěně místnosti, v níž se nachází mrtvola, zanechává smajlíka nakresleného krví oběti, a to tak, aby to bylo to první, co nálezce uvidí. Dokáže manipulovat lidmi, kterým dává pocit lásky, důvěry a bezpečí. Tým již byl několikrát velmi blízko jeho identifikaci, Rudý John však vždy těsně upláchl a jeho komplic zahynul, takže neexistuje nikdo, kdo by znal jeho identitu. Na konci druhé řady je Patrick málem zabit studenty, již imitují Rudého Johna, kvůli natočení amatérského filmu. Těsně před jeho zabitím se objevuje maskovaný Rudý John a studenty zabije. Poté přijde k Patrickovi, který je přivázán k židli, se slovy: "Tygře, tygře, rudě žhnoucí, lesem černým za noci, čí ruka nesmrtelná tu tvou hrůznou krásu stvořila?", následně Rudý John odchází. V posledním díle 3. série se zobrazuje Rudý John tváří v tvář s Patrickem Janem. Ve 4. sérii se však ukáže, že nešlo o Rudého Johna. Na konci této série se Patrick seznámí s Lorelei, která se ukáže jako kumpánka Rudého Johna. Po spletitém vyšetřování a nástrahách, které Red John připraví, je zabit šéf Lisbonové, zato Lorelei je dopadena. V páté sérii se Red John pokusí Lorelei odklidit od Janeova dosahu. Patrick však Lorelei dostane z Federal County Jail (okresní federální věznice) a je s ní na útěku. Postupně zjistí, že Red John zabil Loreleiinu sestru. A tak nechá Lorelei jít se slovy: "Až si sama uvědomíš pravdu, víš, kde mě najít." Také se dozví, že se s Rudým Johnem už setkal, dokonce že si potřásli ruce. V dílu Rudý John se dozvídáme, že Rudý John je šerif Thomas McAllister, Patrick se s ním setkává tváří v tvář a zabije ho.

Virgil Minelli
Virgila Minelliho hraje Gregory Itzin. Do druhé série je nadřízeným Lisbonové; poté co Red John zabije Sama Bosca a jeho tým, odchází do důchodu. Má velmi pragmatický přístup, proto toleruje Patrickovy okliky. Velmi důvěřuje Lisbonové. Nemá rád média.

Sam Bosco
Sama Bosca hraje Terry Kinney. Bývalý nadřízený Lisbonové, šéf konkurenčního týmu CBI, který přebere případ Rudého Johna. Jane chce, aby ho Bosco o průběhu případu informoval, ten ale důrazně odmítá. Celý Boscův tým je Rudým Johnem a jeho komplickou vyvražděn, protože Rudý John chce, aby případ opět měl v rukou Patrick. Bosco je smrtelně zraněn a zanedlouho umírá v nemocnici. Je ženatý, přesto miluje Lisbonovou, přizná to ale až na smrtelné posteli. Nijak se netají odporem k Patrickovu stylu práce.

Dennis Abbott
Dennise Abbotta hraje Rockmond Dunbar. Abbott se v seriálu poprvé objevil v 6. sérii v dílu Velký rudý drak, kde nechal rozpustit CBI. Pár let poté vede vyšetřovací tým FBI, jehož součástí jsou Kim Fischerová, Kimball Cho, Teresa Lisbonová, Patrick Jane, Jason Wylie a Michelle Vega. V 7. sérii odchází a jeho místo přebírá Kimball Cho.

Vysílání

V rámci prvních čtyř řad bylo v letech 2008 až 2012 natočeno 94 dílů – první dvě řady po 23 a další dvě po 24 dílech. Od roku 2012 pokračovalo vysílání páté a šesté řady, každé po 22 dílech. Poslední (sedmá) řada má 13 dílů.

Národní vysílání

Zajímavosti
 Většina dílů seriálu má ve svém (originálním, obvykle i českém) názvu slovo červený (red) nebo něco rudé barvy jako krev nebo oheň. Odkazuje to na propojení s Rudým Johnem.
 Kimball Cho často nosí krátké rukávy, přestože má oblek s kravatou.
 V seriálu jsou vícekrát zmiňovány básně Williama Blakea Tygr a Ukolébavka.
 V posledním dílu Bílá orchidej je v českém dabingu místo D. C. dvakrát zmíněna Praha.
 V seriálu se říká, že Tereza Lisbon (Robin Tunney) je z Chicaga, a to je též rodné město představitelky.
 V téměř každé epizodě se objeví postava ženy s rudými nebo červenými vlasy a to se nepočítá Grace.
 V 19. epizodě 1. série Tucet rudých růží vystupuje v roli Felicie Scott (Rebecca Rigg) a to je skutečná manželka herce Simona Bakera. Jsou svoji od roku 1998 a mají spolu už tři děti, a to Stellu, Clauda a Harryho.
 V 10. díle 4. série odvezou policisté oběť požáru za manželkou a dcerou do hotelu. Ve stejném hotelu se natáčel seriál Jmenuju se Earl.
 Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) jezdí v klasickém francouzském autě Citroën DS kovově šedé barvy, který se vyráběl v letech 1955–1975.

This short film tells the heart-warming Christmas story of two Saskatchewan farm children and a pony named Pancho. There's no real place for a horse on a fully mechanized wheat farm, but with will and heart they prove that one can be found.
This is a really interesting film with tons of good values and excellent behavior. Its a bit personal, because when I was kid I really wanted a hive of honey bees. Ten years later I got mine. Just as these kids worked hard to get their Ponies for Christmas.

Shepard Backstops Stingrays To First Win
Herbert, Gottlieb Score to Give SC 2-1 Victory over Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Goaltender Hunter Shepard stopped 31 shots to earn his first professional victory as the South Carolina Stingrays (1-0-1-0) defeated the Jacksonville Icemen (1-2-0-0) 2-1 on Friday night at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
The win was the first of the season for South Carolina, as well as the first ECHL victory for head coach Ryan Blair.
Forward Caleb Herbert scored for the second time in as many games, while defender Max Gottlieb added an insurance tally in the third that turned out to be the game winner.
Shepard stole the show for South Carolina, holding the Icemen at bay for the first 59 minutes of the contest. It wasn't until less than a minute remained in the game that Jacksonville was able to break through for their only goal of the night.
Herbert got on the board at 10:58 of the first with his second of the season from linemates Max Novak and Cole Ully. The veteran attacker pounced on a loose rebound at the side of the net and pushed it past Icemen goaltender Eamon McAdam to make it 1-0.
Neither team was able to score in the second and SC held their slim advantage at the start of the third period.
Gottlieb wasted little time and found the back of the net for his first strike of the season at 2:58 of the final frame. The Rays had possession in the offensive zone when forward Mason Morelli fired the puck at the net. It bounced to the slot, where Gottlieb quickly let a wrist shot go that got past McAdam to make it 2-0. A second helper on the goal was given to captain Andrew Cherniwchan.
Late in the game, a penalty to Mark Cooper allowed the Icemen to pull McAdam in favor of an extra attacker and secure a 6-on-4 advantage. Seconds later, Derek Lodermeier found the back of the net on a rebound at 19:01 and cut the Rays' lead down to 2-1.
But South Carolina kept their composure in the final minute and held on for the victory. Jacksonville outshot the Stingrays 18-5 in the third and had a 32-25 shots-on-goal advantage overall in the game.
McAdam turned aside 23 shots in a losing effort for the Icemen, whose only goal came on the power play. Jacksonville finished 1-for-5 on the man-advantage, while the Rays were 0-for-4.
The two teams will face-off once again on Saturday night in the back half of a home-and-home weekend series at the North Charleston Coliseum. Puck drop for the popular Teddy Bear Toss Night is scheduled for 6:05 p.m.
Tickets for all of the team's upcoming 2020-21 home contests are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

Birth of Joy ist eine niederländische Rockband, die 2005 an der Herman-Brood-Academie in Utrecht gegründet wurde. Nach zahlreichen Liveauftritten in den Niederlanden wurde die Band im Anschluss an einen Auftritt beim Zwarte Cross Festival 2011 vom niederländischen Indie-Label Suburban Records unter Vertrag genommen. Auftritte beim Rencontres Trans Musicales sowie beim Eurosonic Noorderslag Festival in Groningen, das u. a. vom WDR Rockpalast unterstützt wurde, machten die Gruppe auch außerhalb der Niederlande bekannt. Der Name der Band ist eine Anspielung auf Friedrich Nietzsches Werk Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik.

Stil
Die Musik der Band ist von der Blues- und Psychedelic-Rockszene der späten 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahre beeinflusst, nimmt auch Anleihen beim Rock 'n' Roll und beim Boogie-Woogie, entwickelt aus diesen Vorgaben jedoch einen eigenen, druckvollen und zugleich differenzierten Sound. Als Vorbilder werden insbesondere MC5 und The Doors genannt, Letzteres spiegelt sich auch in der ungewöhnlichen Live-Besetzung ohne Bass wider.

Churchill Downs Incorporated and Eldorado Resorts Announce Mutual Termination of Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg Acquisition and Amendment to Presque Isle Downs & Casino Acquisition | Churchill Downs, Inc.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CHDN) today announced that it has terminated its definitive purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and properties used in connection with the operation of Lady Luck Casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi ( the "Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction") and amended its previously announced definitive purchase agreement (the "Amendment") to acquire substantially all of the assets and properties used in connection with Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie, Pennsylvania (the "Presque Isle Transaction") from Eldorado Resorts, Inc. ("ERI") (Nasdaq: ERI). Pursuant to a Termination Agreement and Release, dated as of July 6, 2018, by and among CDI, ERI and certain subsidiaries of ERI (the "Termination Agreement"), CDI has agreed to pay to ERI a termination fee of $5.0 million, subject to the parties' execution of a definitive agreement with respect to the Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction, as described below.
As previously disclosed, on February 28, 2018, CDI announced that it had entered into two separate definitive asset purchase agreements with ERI and certain of its subsidiaries to effectuate the Presque Isle Transaction and Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction for total aggregate consideration of approximately $229.5 million, to be paid in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments.
Also as previously disclosed, on May 7, 2018, CDI and ERI each received a request for additional information and documentary material (a "Second Request") pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), from the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") in connection with the FTC's review of the pending Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction. Following receipt of, and consideration of the time and expense needed to reply to, the Second Request, pursuant to the Termination Agreement, CDI and ERI mutually agreed to terminate their respective rights and obligations with respect to the Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction.
Concurrently with the entry into the Termination Agreement, CDI and ERI also entered into the Amendment, pursuant to which CDI and ERI have agreed to, among other things: (i) eliminate the consummation of the Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction as a condition to closing the Presque Isle Transaction, (ii) withdraw the parties' filings previously submitted in connection with the HSR Act and submit new filings pursuant to the HSR Act to reflect the transactions contemplated by the Amendment and the Termination Agreement and, (iii) cooperate in good faith, subject to certain conditions, to enter into an agreement pursuant to which CDI will assume the rights and obligations of an affiliate of ERI to operate the Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin in Farmington, Pennsylvania for cash consideration of $100,000 (the "Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction"). The Presque Isle Transaction reflects a stand-alone purchase price of $178.9 million subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments and remains dependent on usual and customary closing conditions. Closing of the Presque Isle Transaction is also conditioned on the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to the Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction.
CDI and ERI believe they will be able to work expeditiously to complete the HSR review and promptly obtain the expiration (or termination) of the statutory waiting period for the Presque Isle and Lady Luck Nemacolin transactions pursuant to new filings under the HSR Act. Subject to expiration of termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, receipt of Pennsylvania regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, CDI and ERI expect the Presque Isle and Lady Luck Nemacolin transactions to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.

We are the largest legal online account wagering platform for horseracing in the U.S., through our ownership of TwinSpires.com and have announced our plans to enter the U.S. real money online gaming and sports betting markets.

Former minister, food lover and keen amateur cook Norman Tebbit is hoping family mealtimes could be transformed thanks to a new edition of his book, The Game Cook.
The revised, updated and redesigned book, with many new recipes, showcases the former MP for Chingford's favourite game dishes, including pheasant, partridge, duck, grouse, deer, rabbit and more.
The book was inspired by a conversation in a butcher's shop, before Lord Tebbit moved to Bury St Edmunds.
"I stood in the butchers one day and asked 'Why do people pay more for a tasteless chicken than for a proper bird like a pheasant?'. And he replied that it was mostly because people didn't know how to cook them. I thought I would do something about it," said Norman this week, adding that his maternal grandfather was a butcher and that he learned about cooking game at his mother's knee.
"We were a pretty hard-up family before the war, but of course a rabbit sometimes came cheap, particularly if it had been well poached," he said.
"If you compare the life of a pheasant to a life of a battery chicken – the chicken has never seen the light of day or breathed fresh air, while the pheasant has had a life, he has flown and foraged for food and he may have even started the next generation of pheasants. It is a totally different life and I think that's reflected in the quality of the meat.
All the recipes are tried and tested, with the one cooked most frequently in the Tebbit household being the partridge with pears and blue cheese ('Which is really great'), or the traditional French way of pheasant 'a la Normande', which is with apples and cream ('It's good for the cholesterol!').
The book has an easy-to-follow style, as well as a guide to game, advice on equipment and conversion charts.
- The Game Cook is published by Grub Street on August 31, costing £14.99.


An interplanetary epic of sword and sorcery. First published in Weird Tales, May-Aug. 1939 (copyright unrenewed).
versary of his single garment, belt and weapon, and transferred them to my own frame. This done, I felt some slight renewal of confidence. At least I was partly clothed and armed.
I examined the dagger with much interest. A more murderous weapon I have never seen. The blade was perhaps nineteen inches in length, double-edged, and sharp as a razor. It was broad at the haft, tapering to a diamond point. The guard and pommel were of silver, the hilt covered with a substance somewhat like shagreen. The blade was indisputably steel, but of a quality I had never before encountered. The whole was a triumph of the weapon-maker's art, and seemed to indicate a high order of culture.
A fantastic tale for a good short read. Hard to believe this was written almost 70 years ago. Great imagery and Howard's energetic storytelling helps you imagine him shouting out the text as he typed it.
(DOES knaw at your leg =) ) the book places you wonderfully in Almuric, with just enough description to help you picture it, mostly because there's always some critter charging so descriptions don't get overly long.
Howard is one of the classics in heroic fantasy and this is one of his best; well written, balanced and constantly entertaining.
Almuric is the ultimate he-man pulp from Robert Howard in a tale so laden with testosterone that you don't read the story as much as it jumps off the page and gnaws on your leg for awhile.
Esau Cairn is a man who makes Conan the Barbarian look like a pantywaist. Escaping from a charge of murder, Esau finds a scientist who sends him on a one-way trip to a far-flung and primitive planet.
Much blood, gore, and grunting ensues.
This is my favourite Howards book.


We are witnesses of the flood of responsive web sites. Those sites are made to be useful on all kind of devices, from desktop computers to mobile phones. It's not enough to have only a template that's responsible. If you are about to use modules on the responsive website, those modules must be responsive as well. Hot Film Tape is on of such modules because it supports the responsive mode. In this mode, this module automatically resizes itself in order to fit the available screen space as good as possible. If you are not a fan of responsive websites, you can turn this feature off in the module settings.
So, what Hot Film Tape does and what's its purpose for your site. Let's explain that in several sentences. This is endless carousel that scrolls slides from right to left. You can have up to 20 slides (it easy to modify the module to extend it's capacity though) and each slide is presented as a "slot" in the module parameters. Each slot can contain any HTML content that you enter using WYSIWYG editor (such as JCE or TinyMCE) or using plain text editor (if you are familiar with HTML). Therefore, each slot can contain literally anything you can think of. You can put text, images, YouTube movies or anything else inside the slides. You can even make combination, in example, the first slot with text, the second with image, the third with a movie and the fourth with text and images. Content of the Hot Film Tape is completely up to you.
All buyers of this template will get Hot Film Tape module FREE (regular price is $15).


I am in "LANDALA HOUSE", an assisted-living-retirement complex in the central downtown area of Gothenburg, Sweden. The nurse-on-duty summoned me from my home at noon on Good Friday. She said she found my name in some pieces of paper on top of a study-table of a particular resident, as one of persons to be informed in case of serious concerns arise of this particular resident on the 3rd floor-wing, ASPERO. Naturally, I responded as requested.
This man BRUNO migrated in the 60s to Sweden from Florens, Italy during the wave of recruitment of workers by the giant car manufacturer, Volvo. Thus, the start of a new life in Gothenburg. At Volvo this very energetic young man was very hard working and ambitious, that soon enough he was promoted to a position of trust: "kontrollant". To test drive the newly produced Volvo automobiles coming from the production line. Off from work he was even asked by the company to "look after" the newly arrived Italian immigrant workers in Gothenburg. There even were a larger number of Italian immigrants recruited to other Swedish industries, such as the famous ball-bearing manufacturer, SKF, located in the older part of the city, "Gamla Stan".
I was only 17 years old when I met BRUNO for the first time. When he just arrived in Gothenburg, housing was a huge problem even for ordinary Swedes. Inspite of an old squeaky flat in Vegagatan did not prevent him from welcoming his Italian friends, being kind and hospitable to this people. He understood too well the loneliness and homesickness of these new immigrants. Soon BRUNO would move to new and modern flat in the center of Gothenburg, Karl Gustavsgatan.
Beautiful! I asked BRUNO to translate and he says "it is a man who sings about her taste of salt, her skin, her lips — when she comes out of the sea and lies down next to him". My imagination would run wild "that there is this woman in a bath towel and he bends over to her." Very romantic!
At BRUNO's flat, the door was always open to anybody and everybody! Even after a late night shift at Volvo and much needed rest, his Italian friends were still welcome to hang around his flat while he was sleeping in the sofa-bed. Sometimes sharing a plate of home cooked spaghetti, missed by his friends. I never get to know well all of his Italian friends. BRUNO quickly learned to speak excellent and fluent Swedish. And now I was beginning to understand him when he talks about life… that he loved to travel and see other countries… other cultures. He was a very open-minded person BRUNO. He was from Florens… capital of the Old World! Why he chooses Sweden to be his new homeland, I still wonder up to today.
We come to the 70s. I started to build my own family, and our paths with BRUNO separated, which was to last for several decades. We lost touch with each other, no news about each other whatsoever! In my work with the Swedish Health Care System, I met a man who also became a friend, RAMON. A doctor who also migrated to Sweden from the Philippines. He was a popular practicing physician in Gothenburg. He was likewise responsible of one of our primary care system, particularly Hisingen with a geographic area practically half of the city. He even became a CHEFOVERLAKARE (Chief Medical Officer). He was interested in modernizing the clinics, such as computerizing medical records, re-organizing the different units (with my help) to be more cost-effective and give service to the patients, etc. His area of primary health care became a show-case of innovative development in the Swedish Health Care system. In addition he had a Pain Relief Clinic. Among treatment of said clinic was Acupuncture. He was sent to Beijing, China to learn the art of acupuncture in treatment of chronic pain. It faced then some opposition from a few medical practitioners initially, but today one of the treatment modalities.
I had the privilege of being an On-the-Job "trainee" with RAMON being an administrator of the health-care system. I saw first hand his patients really appreciated his attitude and skills. Nothing was left to chance. He was diligent and accurate in his diagnosis. I was not there to check on him. I had to get an insight in the everyday work routine of our health providers.
He looked at me startled (surprise is a mild word) and I started narrating my memories of BRUNO. So it was the same BRUNO after all. They have lived together for many years, unknown to me. They had separate residences in Gothenburg, but lived together when they moved to the Philippines. I knew them both from different times of our lives. I never knew until that moment they were lifetime partners! They both lived in the Philippines and Karl Gustavsgatan, alternating sojourns. What an encounter!
Years went by and RAMON was left in the Philippines and our paths separated again. Here in Gothenburg my life continued with my family and an elderly mamma. After a long wait in queue, mamma finally got a place in "LANDALA HOUSE", the retirement complex. The circle of life comes to a close! She came to this part of Gothenburg in the 30s. Tumultuous years for the elderly due to decreasing number of retirement homes available. Statistics say older people are increasing in population, instead the politicians decides to decrease the availability. I miss the logic! Mamma died at 94, March 2013. Bad memories!
We come now to Easter weekend, March 2016. I got an urgent telephone call from "LANDALA HOUSE", an assisted-living-retirement complex which I vowed after mammas death, never to set foot again. But because of that frantic call, it was time for me to forget the unhappy experiences of the past. Someone needs me!
I rushed to BRUNO'S bedside, who for a few hours already had been sliding from consciousness to unconsciousness state. The staff narrated to me that earlier that morning BRUNO in a confused state, I presumed, was talking in a mixture of Italian & English. BRUNO would say "cissi". None of the staff understands Italian. I presumed that BRUNO was saying "si, si" in answer to the questions with the staff. His mother tongue has finally come back to him!
I whispered to him in Italian (yes, I speak Italian!) that I would be at his bedside to the end. Everything was okay and did not have to worry. He gave me signs that he wanted to answer me, but words would not come out from his lips. He fell to a deep sleep and I held his hands all the time. I stroke his forehead to comfort him, and he was breathing calmly.
Hours went by… FLASHBACKS! MEMORIES! overcame me – my life… his life…our unexpected encounters… this time in both our lives! In one of my regular visits to my mamma in "LANDALA HOUS", his name suddenly appeared in the hallway of the entrance of "LANDALA HOUS" as a new resident. I told mamma then that I recognized that name. That day from mamma I went down 3 floors of the building to visit him. AFTER 40 YEARS we meet again! BRUNO recognized me right away and we talked about old memories, BRUNO AND I. He came back to Sweden from the Philippines due to poor health.
He showed me pictures when he was young in Florens, and photos in the Philippines of good memories. Then I told him that I know RAMON, his lifepartner! How unpredictable our paths in life, I thought! Then on, I would accompany BRUNO to his regular doctor's appointments, when the staff could not. Sometimes on my way home from my visit to mamma I would drop by him and sit with him while he was having dinner. I think sometimes how lonely it must be, coming to a foreign land as a young man, perhaps no longer in contact with friends and relatives in his old homeland. Stranger to his relatives in Italy, who probably did not accept his choice of a lifepartner. Not accept that he has broken the tradition and ways that his family followed for generations? Shame? Who knows!
I called the Philippines and Italy, informing them of the current status, that BRUNO did not have many hours to live. That I am at his bedside. Expected of course that they became emotional. Many of them have not had personal contacts with BRUNO anymore. The past is catching up!
RAMON informed me that he was taking the next flight from the Philippines to Gothenburg. They are after all lifepartners and it was time that the long relation will come to an end.
BRUNO "fell asleep forever" quarter past one, Easter Eve 2016!

Q: VBA copy multiple sheets and paste to another worksheet I tried to make a macro to go through every sheet and on each sheet, copy to the last row from B4:Y, and paste it to a sheet named "Total" starting from B4.
For example:

I have 5 sheets named: a, b, c, d, e. My macro should copy and paste
  50 rows from "a" at B4:Y54 and 60 rows from "b" at B55:Y115...and so
  on.

I have tried looking up online but I can't get my code to work. Please help and thank you very much!
Sub TransferData()
    Dim LTot As Integer ' represents the line in the total tab
    Dim WsTot As Worksheet ' represents your sheet tab
    Dim i As Integer

    Set WsTot = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Total") 'declare your Total tab
    WsTot.Range("B4:Y10000").Clear ' clear the old data

    For i = 1 To 5 ' numbers of your tabs
        With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("" & i)
            .Range(.Cells(4, 2), .Cells(.Range("B10000").End(xlUp).Rows, 25)).Copy WsTot.Cells(LTot, 2)
            LTot = LTot + .Range("B10000").End(xlUp).Rows - 4
        End With
    Next

End Sub

A: The following code will perform as you described in your question. Your code has a few issues in it and instead of building on it, I've rewritten the code in my own way.
Sub TransposeData()
    Dim wsList() As String, wsName As Variant, ws As Worksheet
    Dim wsTotal As Worksheet: Set wsTotal = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Total")
    Dim minRow As Long, maxRow As Long, nextRow As Long

    wsList = Split("a,b,c,d,e", ",")

    For Each wsName In wsList
        Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(wsName)
        maxRow = ws.Range("B" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        Select Case wsName
            Case "a"
                minRow = 4
            Case "b"
                minRow = 55
            Case "c"
                minRow = 116
            Case "d"
                minRow = 171
            Case "e"
                minRow = 181
        End Select

        nextRow = wsTotal.Range("B" & wsTotal.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1

        ws.Range("B" & minRow & ":Y" & maxRow).Copy wsTotal.Range("B" & nextRow)
    Next wsName
End Sub

Below is the same code tailored to meet the OPs specific needs:
Sub TransposeData()
    Dim wsList() As String, wsName As Variant, ws As Worksheet
    Dim wsTotal As Worksheet: Set wsTotal = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Total")
    Dim minRow As Long, maxRow As Long, nextRow As Long

    wsList = Split("Engineering Salary,Mailroom Salary,Reception Salary,D0 Salary,Dock Worker Salary", ",")

    For Each wsName In wsList
        Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(wsName)
        maxRow = ws.Range("B" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        Select Case wsName
            Case "Engineering Salary"
                minRow = 1
            Case "Mailroom Salary"
                minRow = 1
            Case "Reception Salary"
                minRow = 1
            Case "D0 Salary"
                minRow = 1
            Case "Dock Worker Salary"
                minRow = 1
        End Select

        nextRow = wsTotal.Range("B" & wsTotal.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1

        ws.Range("B" & minRow & ":Y" & maxRow).Copy
        wsTotal.Range("B" & nextRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        Application.CutCopyMode = xlCopy
    Next wsName
End Sub

My worksheet tabs look like this:

Each of the 5 sheets have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in cell B1 respectively. After running the code, my "Totals" sheet looks like this:

A: Your total sheet needs to be called Total, it will loop through all the active sheets of the workbook
Option Explicit
Sub Outlier()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsc As Workbook

Set wsc = Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.name)
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ws.name <> "Total" And Sheets("Total").Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
    ws.Range("A1:" & ws.Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Address).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Total").Range("A1")
    ElseIf ws.name <> "Total" And Sheets("Total").Range("A1") <> vbNullString Then
    ws.Range("A1:" & ws.Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Address).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Total").Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)
    End If
Next
End Sub

if you want to do specific columns then you would need to be clear on all the column names, however you would need to do something like
Set wsc = Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.name)
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ws.name <> "Total" And Sheets("Total").Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
    ws.Range("B1:B" & ws.Range("B1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).row).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Total").Range("B1")
    ElseIf ws.name <> "Total" And Sheets("Total").Range("A1") <> vbNullString Then
    ws.Range("B1:B" & ws.Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).oww).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Total").Range("B1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)
    End If
Next
End Sub

Respected vocal coach Roger Burnley has plenty of first-hand experience with voice maladies and he's got essential advice for you on how to meet these challenges.
Many years ago, that was a question I had, because I suffered with severe vocal problems. When this was occurring, it was when I was only doing a few sets per month of about 45 minutes in length. I didn't think that was very much time, so I should not have been losing my voice, getting hoarse or having pain in my throat after a show. I knew in my heart that if this continued, I could never expect to tour or even do more than one show in a week! You see, after each show I would not even be able to speak the next day, let alone sing.
I was so frustrated that I began looking for help in any place I could. I went to many different vocal coaches, but none seemed able to even identify the problems I was experiencing. They couldn't give me anything to correct it.
As fate would have it, I happened to stumble upon a seminar on vocal health that was offered by an ear, nose and throat doctor in Beverly Hills, CA. It was a free seminar, and since I was desperate, I thought it might be a good idea to attend. The expert was Dr. David Alessi. He told us that he was doing this because he had worked with so many stars in music, acting and public speaking and saw first-hand the devastation that poor vocal habits could inflict on the voice—and these can end careers if they are not corrected.
At this point, I had begun to discover many things about the physiology of the voice, or how the voice is supposed to work. I struck up a conversation with Dr. Alessi, who was impressed enough with my knowledge to offer to take me even further. He began to refer some of his patients to me who had experienced vocal damage and were in need of rehabilitation. Most times, the vocal problems could be corrected with surgery or drugs, but those solutions might only be temporary if the patient does not change the vocal habits that caused the problem in the first place.
When a new client came from Dr. Alessi, they would come with a letter that described their condition. The letters were written in medical terminology, which I did not understand at all. Now this was well before the resources we have now on the Internet, so I had to go to the library to research these terms so that I could understand them and come up with an individual plan for each client.
One day, I received a client from the doctor who had been diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia. I had someone in front of me who had completely lost their voice and could not speak. Now the real work began. I wanted to know how to rejuvenate the voice and keep it healthy.
I learned some critical things. There are muscles that cause the vocal cords to open and close for singing or speaking, and if they are not operating correctly, it can lead to major vocal problems. The great news is these habits can also be changed.
The diagram shown here gives you a visual idea of the workings of the voice. It is not necessary to understand all of this, but it is helpful to see where the vocal cords are located. Imagine, beneath them, the muscles that cause the cords to open and close. It is possible for those muscles to lose their memory or simply forget how they are supposed to operate. This was the cause of the spasmodic dysphonia mentioned earlier.
These are extreme cases, but it is the same cause of other vocal problems I have seen, including fatigue after singing, loss of vocal range, hoarseness and sore throats. I have also seen that many allergies, as well as acid reflux conditions, can be related to poor vocal technique.
An important thing to consider is that every voice is different and unique, so any adjustments needed to maintain a healthy voice must take into consideration the specific techniques and vocal production of the individual. Some people have thinner vocal cords. Some people have thicker vocal cords, which will cause their voices to be lower in pitch but can also present other problems because of this. There is always a solution.
In the diagram, you can see that the sizes, shapes, thickness or thinness of any of these structures are all individual and therefore must be adjusted to the individual's body for proper vocal production and maintenance.
One of the biggest obstacles to maintaining vocal health is the use of the swallowing muscles while singing or speaking. Most people who are having vocal difficulties will discover that they are engaging these muscles.
To see if you are doing this, first locate your swallowing muscles by putting your thumb under your jaw and swallow. Now try to speak or sing with your thumb in place and notice if they are coming down or engaging. If they are, you might have just located a major problem for you.
I have found that, over the years, retraining the voice with exercises to eliminate the use of those muscles has resulted in my clients no longer getting hoarse or needing to cancel shows. They also have less frequent colds, and in many cases their instances of acid reflux decrease. Additionally, they regain much of the range they thought had been lost. The biggest thing is they begin to feel much more confident in their performances, and know they will be able to sing for the rest of their lives.
ROGER BURNLEY is a vocal, performance and life coach. He believes that everyone has talent and ability needing to be discovered and developed. He guides his clients to gain vocal control, freedom and confidence. Many of Burnley's clients have gone on to achieve major success in the entertainment industry.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program should respect workers' rights, provide path to citizenship
Toronto – May 26, 2016 – Justin Trudeau's Liberal government is now reviewing Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) following feedback from Canadians that suggests program reforms brought in by the Harper Conservatives missed the mark and failed workers.
The review comes at a time when employers across the country are consciously expanding their reliance on migrant workers, and the number of temporary foreign workers entering Canada continues to increase every year.
Currently, the business community is demanding greater access to migrant and temporary foreign workers to staff Canadian farms, green houses, meat plants, hotels, and construction sites, among other workplaces. Clearly, then, foreign workers are no longer a short-term solution for perceived labour shortages, but rather a deep-rooted element of Canada's changing workforce.
As the leading union for migrant and temporary foreign workers in Canada, UFCW Canada is pushing for several changes to the TFWP as part of the government's review of the program.
Our main recommendation is that the federal government should immediately stop the practice of bringing workers to Canada without granting them a pathway to permanent residency upon arrival.
The government should also provide 'open' work permits for all temporary foreign workers; ensure that they are paid the prevailing domestic industry wage at a minimum; and also make it a condition of the TFWP that all program participants be allowed to join a union and bargain collectively.
Our union is hopeful that the government's review of the TFWP will lead to lasting positive change for temporary foreign workers and address Canadians' concerns regarding the program.
With this review, the Trudeau Liberals have a real opportunity to strike a balance between meeting the needs of employers who legitimately rely on the TFWP, and strengthening the rights of workers who participate in the program.

How to Invest in Your Career: 6 Ways!
by Paul Shuteyev
Email Marketing News
In uncertain economic times, you may hesitate to spend money to advance your career. But some investments -- of money and time -- can really pay off.
One of the main ways to invest in your career is through education.
"Don't think of it as going back to school, which sounds like you didn't get it right in the first place and doesn't feel good," said Libby Pannwitt, principal of the Work Life Design Group, in San Carlos, California. Instead, think of it as a way to broaden your knowledge.
Here are three ways to invest in you career through education, plus three other career investments to consider:
* Get a degree. Complete your bachelor's degree or get a master's degree, MBA or even a Ph.D.
"We're looking at global competition," said Patti Wilson, CEO of CareerCompany.com in Silicon Valley. An advanced degree can help you get promoted or move between industries.
Some people say workers in midcareer or later won't have time to recoup the cost of an advanced degree. It's a calculation that may push you toward a program that you can complete while working. But there are other factors to consider, Wilson said. An advanced degree can facilitate the move to consulting for an experienced worker, for example.
* Become certified. Technical fields, project management and human resources are just some fields in which certifications can help advance a career. Certifications are generally less time-consuming and expensive than degree programs.
* Learn cross-cultural communication skills. If you're working outside your native country and not speaking your native language, consider taking classes in accent reduction and American business etiquette.
How do you know if you need these classes? If you're lucky, your boss will tell you. But you may simply notice that you're not getting promoted to positions that require good communication skills.
For native English speakers who were raised in the United States, learning about the business culture of other countries can help further your career, Wilson said.
* Build your brand online. This requires more time than money, although some services may cost you.
Own your own domain name and create a Web page to showcase your work, Wilson said. Keep updated profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites. Monitor your online presence so that potential employers won't find anything derogatory about you.
"Being branded online may be on the cutting edge now, but it's going to be a given in five years," Wilson said.
* Find coaches and mentors. It's important to have people to help you make critical decisions in your career.
For some people, a paid career counselor or coach is the best approach. Others have one or more mentors who offer informal advice. Which approach is best may depend on how much in-depth help you need.
"Some you pay, and some are free," Wilson said.
* Raise your professional profile. Professional associations require both time and money, but they are a good way to meet people in your industry who work for other companies.
"By serving on a committee or a board, you will gain valuable, marketable leadership experience to parlay at your next job interview," Pannwitt said.

Keys to Being a Good Waitress
By Steve Milano Updated January 04, 2022
What is a Commis Waiter?
Jobs for Teens in Restaurants
Objectives for Dining Servers
Etiquette for Food Servers
What Are the Key Skills Needed to Be a Host/Hostess?
With restaurants struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for waitresses or servers is in flux. At some point, things will level off, but you still need to show you're more than just a warm body to get and keep a job as a restaurant server who has job security. Reviewing the qualities of a good waitress will help you beat out the competition, make more in tips and keep your job.
Master the Technical Skills
Some waitress qualities and skills revolve around the technical aspects of the job. You need to be able to use your restaurant's point of sale or other software so you can properly enter orders. You should be able to take orders by hand initially. Some servers can memorize everyone's drink and food orders and enter them into the computer later, but these people are rare.
You should also be able to handle multiple plates and glasses, often on a tray, and balance them. You might be asked to set and clear tables, including folding linen napkins in a specific way. If the restaurant requires that you do any prep work, such as pouring soft drinks, dressing salads, or putting soups or chiles into cups and bowls, you need to learn how to do those tasks.
Develop Good People Skills
You should be able to make diners feel welcome so that they have an enjoyable time while they're in the restaurant. You should have no problem greeting people warmly, introducing yourself by name, asking their names, and maintaining eye contact, explains Planday. Throughout the meal, use their names to make the experience personal. If you have regular customers, remember their regular drink orders and favorite dishes.
Learn the Menu
Make sure you know your restaurant's menu inside and out, advises Upserve.com. A restaurant sells more food and drinks when servers upsell. This means recommending specials, appetizers, salads, soups, desserts, and wine or beer pairings. If possible, taste most food items the restaurant serves so you can give recommendations. For example, if you work at an Italian restaurant, you should know whether the house sauce is sweet or savory. Inquire about any unfamiliar dishes and ask other servers what questions they are asked about specific menu items.
Maintain Professionalism
In addition to being knowledgeable and charming with customers, you should act professionally with your coworkers. This means showing up on time (or early) to help with shift setup and staying until service procedures are done at the end of a shift. If you have time, fill water glasses at other tables or clear plates when the other servers or bus persons are busy.
Make sure you are well-dressed, have clean hands, and look professional anytime you serve customers. When customers have complaints, don't argue with them. If they're wrong about an order and won't budge, call a manager to help resolve the problem.
If your restaurant gives cooks handwritten tickets, make sure your handwriting is legible. Never take an item out to a customer unless you've reviewed your ticket to ensure there was no misunderstanding on the kitchen's end, such as not noticing that a diner had asked for a substitute vegetable or starch.

Mother Jones Washington, D.C. bureau chief David Corn claimed he spotted "obscene" graffiti targeting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at an airport, but the airport's staff say they came up empty-handed after attempting to locate the purported drawing.
An extensive New Yorker magazine profile of former British spy Christopher Steele disclosed that the author of the infamous, largely discredited anti-Trump dossier held a series of off the record briefings with national-security reporters in Washington.
Despite all the doom and gloom–and gun control groups' reports of hundreds of mass shootings each year–the FBI lists four mass school shootings since April 20, 1999, which was the date of Columbine.
Mother Jones editor-in-chief received a lot of pushback on social media for claiming that the "tomahawk" missiles fired at a Syrian air base last week were an example of cultural appropriation.
A number of unanswered questions surround the medical treatment the late pop icon Prince received after his private plane made an emergency landing at Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois in the early morning hours of Friday, April 15.
Sen. Marco Rubio posed as a public champion for Americans during the secret 2013 talks over amnesty and cheap imported workers, but behind closed doors, he was was an ally and a patsy for Democratic leaders, according to a new article from the left-wing Mother Jones magazine.
It's not every day that Mother Jones magazine publishes something asking progressives to take it down a notch, but that's what author Kevin Drum did in a piece published Tuesday.
On August 23, Mother Jones published an article showing that, on average, fewer people are killed in "public mass shootings" in the U.S. versus other countries.
The political smear artists at Politico and Mother Jones apparently ran out of vaguely unflattering photos of Republican Presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), as they both tweeted out the exact same image for two contradictory narratives about the Paul campaign.
On April 7, Mother Jones reported on an Everytown for Gun Safety PSA which shows "adorable children" mocking the NRA's contention that women face "rapers" and "campus killers" and therefore should be armed for self-defense.
The philosopher Eric Hoffer once observed that movements go through a predictable cycle: They start out as crusades, turn into businesses, and end up as rackets.
