Kotoko is not actually a complete stranger to Irie-kun; unfortunately, a single love letter that she tried to give him in the past has already sealed her fate as far as he is concerned.

Meet: Eliza
October 28, 2016 March 17, 2020 by Ark
Meet: Eliza Davis, Freelance Graphic Designer, a free-spirited, fun-loving, dream-chasing force. She left her home in Australia one year ago to travel the world, eventually settling in London, UK to continue her career in graphic design. With her dreamy Instagram account and impeccable design skills in hand, Eliza is always up for travel and new adventures.
First off, how did you get into graphic design?
I always knew I would do something in art or design, there wasn't anything else I wanted to do. I remember in high school not really knowing a lot about the scope of what graphic designers did, I knew they could work in magazine design though which at the time was something that sounded really interesting to me! I got hold of a University booklet on the course and was sold!
Were you always set on art and design, even as a kid?
Definitely. If you had asked me what I wanted to be when I was 5, I would've said I was going to be an artist. It's always been my dream to have a creative job.
You've seen a lot of the world over the last few years. Is graphic design a career that fits well with travel?
It fits really well. It's definitely a career that you can do anywhere, and pick up work most places. Most things are through email these days so its not difficult to do design work without ever meeting the person you're designing for.
What are some of the favourite spots you've travelled to recently?
Costa Rica is one of the best places I've ever been, I had so much fun! I know for North Americans it's a really popular destination but, as an Australian, it's really far and probably not that many people have visited.
Whitehorse in Canada was a really random destination that I ended up loving! I went in December to see the Northern Lights. While an arctic holiday may not sound that appealing, it was really interesting to experience those kinds of low temperatures and see how people just get on with life. The area was beautiful and seeing the Northern Lights was amazing!
Nice! So what was it like going to University for something really creative?
It was fun, most of the time. Stressful other times – I guess it's like any university course. I ended up living with a bunch of other people who were also in the course, so our house was always a mess with all kinds of crazy things happening. Paper everywhere, we were always just creating stuff, plus it was great to always have someone around to give constructive criticism.
Is it still a lot of tests and readings, or is it more the doing?
There were no exams, no tests, we did a bit of art history but that was really the only theory part. Everything else was hands on. We weren't even allowed to be on the computer during the first year, every project was done by hand. Even when we were learning typography, we had to print letters, cut them out and form sentences by sticking them on paper to know how a properly designed sentence should look.
Was It hard finding a job right after university?
Not for me, I already had a part-time graphic design job I was doing throughout my last year of University. When I finished my program, I continued there part-time and got another design job to fill in the spare days, eventually I went full time at the first company and worked there for 3 years.
Were there a lot of people to learn from on the design aspect?
It was only a small business so I was the only graphic designer. All kinds of businesses need graphic designers, so unfortunately there won't always be someone to look up to or learn from.
Are there any places you go to for inspiration?
I'm always on Pinterest, that's a good one. Its great to see other people's ideas for my own inspiration – sometimes the tiniest part of someone else's work can be enough to inspire an entire design, you never know when inspiration is going to come! It can be frustrating when I'm working on something and coming up with ideas that I know are good but they're not the one… It's always the best feeling though when it finally clicks and you know you've got it, for me that's probably the best part about being a graphic designer.
So, it sounds like there's a lot of things you love about graphic design. What's challenging about it?
The hardest part is coming up with new ideas all the time, sometimes it's not always that easy to be creative. Especially if you have been doing a job for a while where it doesn't have as many creative aspects – it can be difficult to get back into using your brain again.
What are some examples of the work that isn't as creative?
At the moment I'm working on the marketing side of a large publishing company, sometimes I get to do creative things but the other half of the job doing things like edited to already made designs, like updating logos in flyers or changing a sentence in a web banner, its definitely a side to graphic design a lot of people don't think about.
And that all falls into your job as a graphic designer?
Yeah, it's not always fun and creative. Especially when you're young and getting started, it's less likely you can do all the fun stuff right away. That being said, that isn't the case for everybody.
Is there any advice you would give to someone wanting to be a graphic designer?
I would recommend making sure it's something you really want to do before undertaking a career or degree in it. When I first began my course a lot of people there said they were only doing the degree because they didn't know what else to do and they thought it would be a fun option. Needless to say most of those people didn't finish the degree or have since taken other directions in their careers. Overall, being a graphic designer is an amazing job and like any job it has its ups and downs. I'm really lucky to have a career where I can combine my passion of being creative with my passion for travel!
And any final tips or tricks you've learned from your travels?
Sky scanner is my go-to whenever booking flights, a little trick is to adjust the price into another currency. I've saved almost $100 in the past booking an international flight in pounds rather than dollars. Just don't forget to take into consideration the currency exchange fee from your bank!
I also never get on a long haul flight without spare underwear and socks in my carry-on luggage -I've had my luggage go missing before! I also always bring an external charger for my phone and power converters even for countries I'm supposed to just have a quick stopover in. I learnt this lesson the hard way when I missed a flight and had to stay overnight in Rome. Most importantly, never leave without travel insurance!

Legislative leaders agree on plan to gradually increase N.J. minimum wage
Senate President Steve Sweeney, left, and Assembly Speaker Vinnie Prieto announce an agreement to resolve their differences on increasing New Jersey's minimum wage. (Phil Gregory/WHYY)
The top Democrats in the New Jersey Legislature have resolved their differences on raising the minimum wage.
Instead of his plan to boost the base pay to $15 all at once, said Assembly Speaker Vinnie Prieto, the agreement with Senate President Steve Sweeney calls for phasing it in over five years.
"We are actually being mindful of businesses, businesses that we have given over $5 billion in tax credits over the last few years," said Prieto, D-Union. "So it's time for somebody to watch out for the people whose voices are not heard, and we need to take care of the most vulnerable in New Jersey."
A constitutional amendment enacted in 2013 mandating yearly increases in the minimum wage based on the rate of inflation isn't helping to lift people out of poverty, said Sweeney, D-Gloucester.
"It went up $1.13, but it's just not enough, recognizing the way costs are going in this country and the state that we live in," he said Friday. "We didn't get it right. I'm acknowledging we need to go back and do it to get it right."
Industry groups say higher wage costs would hurt small businesses and stall job creation.
If Gov. Chris Christie rejects their new plan, Sweeney and Prieto said they'll try to get it on the 2017 ballot for voters to consider.

Leslie Gordon Curtis of Lincolnville searches for sea glass and pottery tossed ashore by the ocean on Nov. 14, 2017, on a beach in Searsport. Curtis started "sea-glassing" about a year ago and now does the relaxing activity multiple times a week, year-round.
A star pattern of frosted (or weathered) sea glass was created by Leslie Gordon Curtis while searching for sea glass on a Maine beach in 2017. Curtis often assembles the glass, pottery and other interesting objects she finds on the beach at the end of each trip, then takes a photograph to share online.

A piece of yellow sea glass is found on a Maine beach by Leslie Gordon Curtis of Lincolnville in 2017. Yellow is a rare color for sea glass, Curtis said.
A part of a castle is easily identifiable on a piece of pottery found by Leslie Gordon Curtis on a beach in 2017 in midcoast Maine.
A weathered glass bottle is found by Leslie Gordon Curtis of Lincolnville in 2017, on a Maine beach.
A piece of a glass bottle of Cabot's Sylpho-Nathol is found by Leslie Gordon Curtis on a midcoast Maine beach in 2017. Cabot's Sylpho-Nathol was a coal tar-based disinfectant used as defense against infantile paralysis in the early 1900s.
A glass bottle of Anodyne Liniment, a pain killer formulated and bottled in the early 1800s, is found by Leslie Gordon Curtis of Lincolnville in 2017, on a midcoast Maine beach. Anodyne Liniment, developed by Maine physician Abner Johnson, was used by people of all ages to treat a wide variety of ailments, from bronchitis to bruises, according to the information that Curtis dug up about the bottle online, including excerpts from Maine newspapers about the drug. The two main ingredients were morphine and alcohol.
"Red is rare!" Leslie Gordon Curtis said excitedly as she crouched down and plucked from the sand a tiny piece of red glass.
The vibrant shard was no bigger than the nail of her pinky finger, but in the past year Curtis has been searching for sea glass on beaches of midcoast Maine she has developed a knack for spotting glass and pottery.
"It's meditative. It's relaxing. It's peaceful," Curtis said.
It's also addictive, she said. A resident of Lincolnville, Curtis searches the shore for sea glass and pottery usually three to five times per week, year-round, hopping from beach to beach, usually in the midcoast area. Working for a small marketing firm, she has a flexible schedule, which allows her to fit in her hobby — or "obsession," as she would call it — in the morning or afternoon, depending on the ocean tides.
Walking an empty beach in Searsport on Tuesday, Nov. 14, she spoke of the many lovely and old treasures she's found in just the one year that she's been engaged in the activity.
"In midcoast Maine there isn't much [glass] that's rounded or frosted or anything like that," Curtis said. "Here I go more for the artsy sort of look. When I come up here, I call it 'going for an art walk,' because that's what it is. It's amazing what you might find."
It's no surprise that antique treasures are churned up by the ocean and tossed ashore in midcoast Maine. The area has a rich shipping history. In fact, Searsport was once home to 10 percent of the deepwater ship captains in the American Merchant Marine, and those captains traveled the globe, transporting wares from overseas and bringing home souvenirs and gifts from places such as China and Japan, according to Searsport's Penobscot Marine Museum, which features full exhibits of these items.
For a long time, it was common practice for ships and coastal residents to dump trash and broken wares in the ocean, right off the coast. That's likely where Curtis's oldest, most treasured bits of glass and pottery originate.
"I have all these pipe stems that are over 100 years old," Curtis said.
She was able to determine this because many of the clay tobacco pipes she's found on the beach are stamped with the word Glasgow — for Glasgow, Scotland — and through research she has learned that these pipes were only stamped with their port of origin up to the year of 1898.
"All the sudden, I'm finding them all over the place. I don't know why that's happening," Curtis said.
Curtis also found a smoothed piece of a glass bottle of Cabot's Sylpho-Nathol, a coal tar-based disinfectant used as defense against infantile paralysis in the early 1900s.
Another recent ocean-tossed treasure she found is small, light blue glass bottle of Anodyne Liniment, a pain killer formulated and bottled in the early 1800s by Abner Johnson, a physician from Waterford, Maine. The two main ingredients were morphine and alcohol, and throughout the 1800s this formula was used by people of all ages to treat a wide variety of ailments, from bronchitis to bruises, according to the information that Curtis dug up about the bottle online, including excerpts from Maine newspapers about the drug.
Other old pieces Curtis has been able to identify include a shoe polish bottle, an ink bottle and a fruit extract bottle that dates back to Maine's prohibition era in the 1850s.
Then there's just the pretty stuff, the colorful, "artsy" pieces of glass and pottery Curtis may never know the history of but loves all the same.
"Glass — it's whatever appeals to the individual," she said. "You know, some people will collect anything. Other people are very snotty, and if it hasn't been cooked by the sea, really rolled, tumbled and frosted, they won't be bothered."
Curtis has found sea glass of many colors — deep blues, pale purples and rich greens. She picks up plenty of brown "beer glass," but she usually tosses it aside. Then there are the rarer colors — the yellows, peaches and reds — that excite Curtis into her "happy dance."
Unique pieces of pottery also make her dance. Her most treasures shards display intricately painted designs of castles and sailboats, gryphons and unicorns, flowers and songbirds. Some pieces are as big as her hand, while others are so small that most people overlook them.
"This is a piece of pottery," Curtis said, pointing at a tiny off-white shard in the sand on Nov. 14. "So I just flip it over to see if there's any image on there."
To save her back and knees, Curtis usually carries a stick of driftwood, which she uses to flip over the pottery and glass while standing. She also often wears muck boots to easily navigate the mud flats and shallows and a "sea-glassing hat" with a wide brim to protect her face from the sun. She collects treasures in a simple ziplock bag, then takes them home and washes the pieces thoroughly, scrubbing off the algae and salt. And while she's looked up plenty of crafts people have created out of sea glass and pottery, she's yet to decide upon any one project for herself. Besides, many of the pieces in her collection are best enjoyed as they are, as a violet glass perfume topper or a crimson sea-scarred marble. She imagines some day she'll purchase a case to display her favorite finds.
A big part of Curtis's sea-glassing experience is sharing her discoveries on social media, namely Facebook, where she belongs to several groups of seaglass enthusiasts, such as "Sea Glass Lovers of Maine." She uses her iPod to photograph her finds, then posts the photos on these online groups, often provoking reactions of awe and admiration from people around the world.
These groups have also helped her learn more about certain treasures, and they've educated her about the ethical guidelines of the activity.
"They get really bent on people who do something called 'seeding,'" Curtis said. "You'd actually take fresh glass and take it out there and dump it in the water and let the ocean do its thing."
To most sea-glassers, that's considered cheating, as is tumbling glass in a rock tumbler machine and presenting it as genuine sea glass in jewelry and other art.
"They get banned from [web]sites," Curtis said of people who use tumblers to make fake sea glass. "Once it's determined that they are frauds, they get banned."
Another big no-no in the sea-glasser community is trespassing on private property to access a beach. In Maine, only about 12 percent of the coastline is in public ownership; the rest is privately owned, all the way down to the low-water mark. So if you aren't walking on a public beach, it's important you gain permission from the private landowner. Perhaps that contributes to the fact that, like good fishing holes, good sea-glassing beaches are generally kept hush-hush. Though each tide washes up new, it only takes one other sea-glasser to clear a beach of the day's treasures.
"I know there are some people who just won't go [sea-glassing] in the summertime because they don't want to be in competition, especially if it's a really favorite beach," Curtis said. "It's just too overwhelming and it's more often a bust if somebody has been there before you."
Curtis enjoys the activity to much to stop, so she collects sea glass year-round. She's noticed patterns of materials washing up on certain beaches. While one sandbar will tend to collect blue glass, another strands old bottles on a frequent basis. But at the end of the day, sea-glassing is full of surprises, she said.
"I was here two days after the big wind storm [in October] and it was high tide, it was just up right where the watermark is, and I found some really neat stuff," Curtis said. "And I came back four days later, and it's been a bust ever since. So, you just never know. That doesn't mean that it's not worth the time to come out here, because gosh I love it here. This is right on a migration route, and in the springtime these bushes are just full of birds."
While she enjoy sharing photographs of her treasures with others, she prefers to sea-glass alone. It's her time to unwind, to listen to the waves lapping the shore and breathe fresh air. Often she makes up her own songs as she walks back and forth, dragging her stick along the sand to mark where she's been. And when she finds something special — a piece of red glass, for instance — she takes the time to hold it to the sun, snap a photo and do a little happy dance.

For Technicians
How It Works for Technicians
Maintaining Steady Work in a Competitive Market: Meet Eric Zuelke
Case Studies > Maintaining Steady Work in a Competitive Market: Meet Eric Zuelke
In 2008, after transitioning away from OnForce, Eric Zuelke joined Field Nation. Eric began building a successful computer repair business in 2006 and switched to Field Nation to find more work and connect with more clients. Eric loves his work and his customers, which is how he's managed to gain new clients and maintain a steady flow of work for over 10 years.
In 2006, Eric started working on his own as a Computer Repair Technician. In the beginning, he advertised locally and found clients through word-of-mouth. At the time, Eric was mostly working with individuals doing software, hardware, computer, and server repair. However, as he grew, he wanted to branch out into more commercial work – which is when he turned to Field Nation.
"The type of work on Field Nation I get are types of jobs I prefer over others," Eric says. "My commercial jobs are in a lot of different environments, everything from grocery stores to banks."
The variety in his work allows Eric to put his skills to the test, and he loves the chance to solve people's problems, large or small.
"I like to get people out of jams. A lot of people depend on their computers," Eric says, "That's what makes it worth it."
Growing a Successful Computer Repair Business
Over the years as technology shifts, many technicians may find it hard to keep up with the industry. On the other hand, for Eric, that constant change is exciting, challenging, and something he uses to stay on top of his game.
"My business grows mostly through word of mouth, and I have grown a lot. As the industry shifts and changes over time, people need different things and I try and keep up with that as much as I can," Eric says.
One of the biggest drivers of his growth, according to him, is the fact that he's learned how to fix the problem while also building rapport with the customer. Eric emphasizes the importance of learning soft-skills like constructive communication, de-escalation for tense situations, and general rules of professionalism.
"You have to know how to talk to people and put them at ease. If you don't know how to be professional on-site, take classes, watch videos, learn how to be professional," Eric says. "You have to look at it from a business-minded aspect and not just a computer repair."
Eric credits much of his success and ability to land consistent work to those people skills.
"I think the most rewarding part about that is the consistency of work has improved over time. After a while, you don't have to worry about finding work as much because the work comes to you a bit more consistently," Eric says.
Building Client Relationships
Eric always goes above-and-beyond to make a good impression, especially on commercial jobs.
"Any time I go into a commercial job, I aim to leave it better than it was when I went in there," Eric says. "For instance, going into a server room, if the rooms a mess while I'm standing around waiting for my tech people to do what they need to do, I'll clean the server room up. I'll do what cable management I can do while I'm there."
It's small steps like these that make a technician stand out in a client's mind. Going that extra mile can build trust and establish quality that could net you more work with that client in the future.
Growing with Field Nation
As Eric continues growing his computer service business this year, he's using Field Nation to find more work and strengthen existing relationships, and he recommends other technicians do the same.
"There are lots of other platforms people can choose from, but when it comes down to the daily nuts and bolts of using it, I've never had a problem with Field Nation," Eric says. "I would recommend Field Nation to other techs. It's easy to use. The companies who use Field Nation have done their due diligence."

After being rescued from a brutal band of marauders, Ellen Hale rebuilt her life in the fortified neighborhood that became her home. A heartbreaking decision and devastating loss pushed her to become a fierce fighter, because weakness only got you and those you loved killed.
Now her community is facing a deadly threat, and Ellen has another choice to make.
Ellen volunteers as a member of fallback team three, tasked with establishing a temporary refuge for their citizens in the event their community is overrun by the enemy. As the danger intensifies, she and her adopted sister, Melissa, set off with the rest of their team on the road trip from hell.
Their mission is cloaked in secrecy, but suspicions of a traitor arise.
Something is affecting the zombies' migration patterns, and when blacksmith Tyler Garrett is discovered trapped in a farmhouse, the team refuses to trust him. But Ellen believes his story, and it's not just because of his rugged, blond good looks and soft-spoken manner—his skills can greatly benefit their team.
As the team struggles to reach the fallback, previously secure locations are overrun, and their chances of success seem remote. With the likelihood of a traitor nearly certain, and the lives of everyone she loves at risk, Ellen must figure out who to trust before the traitor—or the zombies—destroy them all.
Is there a spy among the fallback team,

When you lose all hope, what's left to live for?
The darkness claws at Raine Sims, bringing her farther in.
There was no escaping it and no one to bring her out of it. The burden of loss weighs heavily on her, reminding her every day that there are no guarantees in life. Every day is a struggle, every day she puts on a facade just to get through. She's already lost her husband to divorce and now her child in death…It's all too much to grasp.
But a chance encounter with Sly Wilkes is all it takes to come completely undone.
Sly Wilkes is always in control, in every situation, including the bedroom. He's mysterious, and Raine has definitely piqued his interest. However, getting to know her isn't all that easy. Raine's guarded and believes she deserves to feel the pain and the darkness that surrounds her.
Will Sly be able to help Raine see she deserves more?
Or will the pain forever remain?
Renea has always had her nose inside of a book ever since she could remember. She has wrote ever since she was young, never showing anyone what she was writing. Initially she started writing Coming Back to You without intending to publish, but her hubby of 15 years encouraged her to publish it. And she did. She couldn't imagine never writing. Its in her blood.
Her mind is always wondering, plotting and full of ideas. Even her hubs questions he sanity sometimes, because she will her characters are real. They feel real.

Is a poem about longing, about wishing for something more. "What would it be like if I had heaven enough?" it reads.
Matt Murphy reads these words for the first time at his wife's funeral. After a death shrouded with mystery, it is the first time he learns that she wrote poetry. He and Diva were married for nearly twenty years, yet he did not "know" her. A poet and lover of culinary delights, she is struck by a car and killed instantly—randomly—on the wrong side of town.
When her brother, the "monk," appears for the funeral, Matt is set on an unprecedented course. The two find Diva's computer filled with preparations to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Over 2600 miles from Mexico to Canada...and she was leaving without her husband.
Matt takes it upon himself to hike the trail and sprinkle her ashes along the way. What happens in the first two hours is dumbfounding.
What happens next changes his life forever…

Amy just wanted to escape Ethan's abusive ways. She never expected to find the place where she felt like she belonged, and she surely never thought she'd find a second chance at love…
When Amy Teake attempts to get as far away from her abusive boyfriend as her stash of money will take her, she ends up in Park's Peak, eventually becoming entangled in a complicated emotional triangle with her boss's brother and an obnoxious local police officer.
She knows Ethan will find her eventually, she just never expects to involve either Cole or Jeremy in her fight for freedom.
As Amy's attraction to Cole deepens, and the lines between friendship and love with Jeremy become blurred, she finds herself divided between her fear of Ethan and her fear of hurting the two men who helped her remember how to live again.
Will Amy outrun her fears and find the happy ending she so desperately desires?
Perhaps, happy endings aren't always as we expect them to be…

Female Liberation and Autonomy in the Films of Federico Fellini
Author: June Butler (Dublin Business School - School of Arts)
The essay examines the role of women and the portrayal of femininity in the films of Federico Fellini (1920-1993), and the extent to which Fellini's view of women guides the evolution of the plots. Key female characters in Fellini's films are seen as existing on the edges of society—women who are not quite social outcasts but whose way of life leads to them being viewed as misfits living on the fringes. Fellini has made a number of films depicting the hardships endured by female characters, their troubled relationships with men, and the lessons they have learned from their travails. Fellini's films chart the personal growth of female characters towards independence through their interactions with others.
