Today's guest post, Intentional Purpose, is by Joan Hall, an intentional writer.
No matter what our dreams, we have to pursue them intentionally and purposefully. My dreams of having an ideal job and being a writer would not have happened if they remained dreams. Teresa Parker's book, Gift of Purpose: How to Start Living Your Dreams reminded me of that. I almost let my dreams slip by.
I thought I had finally landed my dream job. It combined everything I wanted:
- Working in a busy office
- Relating to the medical field
- Requiring computer work and data entry
- Challenging with a lot of intense concentration on my part
- Never boring, always busy.
- Outstanding benefits with a lot of vacation time
I often said, "I've finally learned what I wanted to do when I grew up." I envied people like my older brother, who recognized from his first week of school he wanted to be a teacher.
In actuality, though, I knew from an early age I wanted to work in an office. I grew up in the country. There weren't any children with whom to play. When school dismissed for the summer, some weeks I didn't see other children except at church on Sundays.
I never had any trouble entertaining myself. With 40 acres of woods and fields to explore, I kept busy. I had plenty of make believe games. One of them was playing office. I loved to make plans, organize things, and peck away on an imaginary typewriter. By the time I was in high school, I chose elective classes such as typing and bookkeeping.
Around 10, I realized I also wanted to be a writer. I was an avid reader and I wanted to be able to create stories people would enjoy. I began writing about animals and life around the farm.
As a teenager, I wrote some poetry and a very short novel. Yet, once I finished school, I let go of my dream of writing and working in an office. I took a job well below my capabilities.
After almost five years, through a series of circumstances, I took a job with a local bank. I was finally able to begin utilizing the skills I learned in school. I worked there for 15 years, changed jobs twice, and then began working in my present position.
Each job was a stepping stone; a place where I could further develop my skills. My dream of being a writer, though, did not come to fruition until much later.
I never lost the desire. There were times I sat down at my computer and wrote short pieces, most of which I deleted.
Around six years ago, I decided if I was going to be a writer, I needed to be intentional about it. I made up my mind to write. I took some online classes, attended some writers' conferences and workshops and joined a critique group. Finally, I started a blog and began writing.
You see, my day job helps pay the bills. My real dream is to write. Here's the deal, we may have dreams, but if we don't act upon them, they will remain dreams.
We may learn skills, but if we don't apply them, what we have learned is in vain. What is your dream? What is one thing you desire? Is it a specific career? Is it learning a new sport? To become physically fit?
The only way we will ever achieve our dreams is to be like the old Nike ads—just do it.
No matter how many writing classes I take, no matter how many conferences I attend, if I don't write, I'm not a writer. I have to be intentional about writing.
Live purposefully
Whatever your goal, your desire, your dream, pursue it intentionally. Live purposefully. You can achieve your goals and live your dream.
What is one thing you do to be intentional regarding your dreams?

Although Publix is
Publix has a duty to its consumers to always keep its facilities safe. If Publix recognized or should have known of a hazardous condition and did not take the appropriate actions to fix the matter or alert you of the threat, you might have a case.
Most of the claims against Publix are from slip and falls. And, usually, it is water on the floor that leads to the fall. Slipping on the hard concrete floors at Publix
Steps to Take Adhering To an Accident in a Publix Grocery Store
Causes of water on the ground can come from practically anywhere. If you have been in a slip and fall at Publix, you need to do your very best to determine where the water came from. Was a cooler leaking onto the ground? Did someone drop ice and it melted? Was the entrance or exit slippery from the rainfall that was tracked into the supermarket from consumers or from grocery carts? Whatever you can discover the source will help your lawyers determine the suitable level of negligence against Publix.
I detailed in the above about water accumulate from rainfall at the entry or exits. I have also experienced some consumers leave behind soaked umbrellas that drip water onto the floor within this same area. There are carpeted floor coverings at the entry to every grocery store for the purpose of doing away with water. But, the mats are not perfect and the water still gets tracked into the cement floor. The floor coverings do little for actually drying out the water off of shoes. It is this area of the establishment where we see a lot of the slip and falls. If Publix has not taken actions to wipe or mop down the area or post caution signs, then you will very likely have a claim. I just recently had a case where the security guard was standing in the entrance only feet away from a wet floor. He took no actions to caution anyone that water was building up from rainfall being tracked inside. As my client entered the store, he/she slipped and fell right before the guard. Of course, Publix accepted
Following a slip and fall, it is important to tell the supervisor about the occurrence even if you are not in serious pain. Do not be embarrassed to simply submit the report. Many people do not realize the severity of the injury until later in the day or the next morning. It is also essential to recognize that there are cameras all throughout the store, so the slip and fall will certainly be recorded on the video footage.
Finally, it is important to safeguard the shoes you were wearing during the time. Residing in Florida, many of my clients were wearing flip-flops when they fell. Publix may ask us to keep those shoes or flip-flops to determine whether the tread was deteriorated.
Publix risk management in Lakeland, FL will likely have an incident report and the video at the time you present your claim. The Publix risk management department will be

Broad upbeat about Ashes chances
Stuart Broad believes England are ready to hit their peak just in time for the Ashes.
Joe Root's side travel to Australia later this year looking to retain the urn on the back of series victories over South Africa and West Indies during the summer.
Broad, who had a precautionary scan on a niggling ankle injury scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, played his part in those wins and has now amassed 109 Test caps for England.
The 31-year-old feels the team, which has come under scrutiny at times this year with question marks still hanging over the make up of the batting line-up, is ready to hit the heights in Australia.
"This is our time as a team, we have been building to this for a while," he said.
"Importantly, we have got experienced players but now we have those mid-experienced players up at 35, 40, 45 Tests and that is when you begin to learn as a player how to get your team out of trouble or how to put your foot on the throat so to speak."
Speaking at a Chance to Shine event at Downing Street, Broad singled out captain Root and talisman Ben Stokes for individual praise and reckons the bowling attack is ready to stand up and be counted.
"It is hard not to be (optimistic)," he said.
"We have got Joe Root in the side and every time he walks on the field he gets a 50. Stokesy, no-one knows what is going to happen but it is very exciting.
"Rocky (Mark Stoneman) looks quite nice at the top of the order, a very tough character, no-nonsense and plays a simplistic game, which suits the Australian pitches like Michael Vaughan used to.
"The bowling attack has been relatively consistent, the emergence of Moeen Ali's bowling has been awesome for us.
"There seems to be someone different in each Test standing up from the bowling unit and that is what you want - actually it is quite hard to pick the six seamers and someone is going to be disappointed when the squad is announced."
Broad also insisted his ankle issue will not prevent him from playing during the winter and would be ready to turn out sooner - even if he and fellow paceman James Anderson will now be wrapped in cotton wool ahead of the opening Ashes Test in Brisbane on November 23.
"It is fine," he said of the problem.
"Nothing has changed feelings-wise but there are certainly no doubts leading into the winter. There are no worries, if there was a Test next week I think I would be fit to play, it has not deteriorated throughout the summer.
"I don't think the plan is to (play again) I think the plan is for me and Jimmy to rest up for the Gabba. We have six weeks until we fly I think."

Sukhumvit Soi 23's Tibetan mainstay is expanding across the city
Gimme momo.
Sukhumvit 23's popular Tibetan spot may have temporarily closed for renovations, but the good news is that you can still enjoy Tibet Kitchen's tasty mutton momo (dumplings, B200/6 pieces) if you're willing to travel Khao San.
The new branch (81 Trok Mayom, Chakrabongse Rd., 095-519-0532, www.facebook.com/tibetkitchenbkk) features similar gold and red interiors to its sister venue, though benefits from a leafy al fresco dining space.

They have also revealed that they'll be expanding to Ratchada soon, meaning even more opportunities for a rare Tibetan feast.

I picked up one of these and it arrived today. I'm a sucker for piston-fillers, mostly for ink capacity. For background, I have been writing mostly with a Jinhao 159 and before that a vanishing point with a B nib. Both of those are "thirsty" pens, I think you will agree.
The Jaipur is a nice pen from initial appearance, fit and function standpoint. It's soooo light, which is nice and especially noticeable coming from the Jinhao.
My one complaint after less than a day is that the M nib seems to produce what I would call an F line. It's smooth, I don't think it's a flow issue. I have reseated the nib twice, mostly because the nib and feed were slightly misaligned on delivery and in the course of rinsing it out. If I shake a little, a drop will fall out on the paper, again indicating that it's feeding pretty well.
Maybe I'm just goofy coming from the fatM of the Jinhao and the B of the VP. Before that, the regular writer was a Sonnet in M and this is considerably finer than that. Maybe I should give it time? Maybe it's just a fine M.

When you go back through time and reflect on how seemingly some insignificant people, places and things affect and shaped one's future, I can safely say that the person, the place and the thing that played out to be the most significant role in shaping my future was a round little container.
Actually, it was what was inside that seemingly insignificant container. This is the story behind the story of how that shaped my destiny, changed the lives of a few friends history and made me a hooch hold name.
Just about the only soldier who enjoyed my company over at A Company, 5th Transportation Battalion was just a loner as I. We both enjoyed the aroma of a pipe filled with wild cherry tobacco and we found we could talk to each other at a level of similar intelligence and expertise.
That's not to say either one of us were better than the lost around us, we simply had a good time sharing each other's company.
One night we were talking about the mechanical differences between the AH-1H Cobra and a UH-IH Huey. Almost out of the blue, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small can. He then asked me what they were.
Now, it is pretty hard to know what is inside a sealed little round can so, it took me a few seconds to realize what he was holding.
Of all the controlling flight parts needed to fly any helicopter straight and true, short of the Jesus nut that held the main rotor blade's main mast nut in place and assuming all the rest of the controlling mechanisms are working correctly, the integrity of the contents of what was inside hermetically sealed little can became second to the Jesus nut.
It was a set of bearings. But they weren't any ordinary bearings. These bearings allow a shaft to run through them. And that shaft was responsible for controlling the pitch in the tail rotor.
So, these bearings were precision made and made in a pair. There was a V across the outer ring of the bearings. So, in mechanical lingo, these bearings were called split cone bearings.
But the ones he was showing me weren't big enough to be UH-IH Huey tail rotor bearings; these belonged to an AH-IG Cobra.
So, after a short while, I said incredulously, "Okay, so why are you carrying a pair of split cone bearings for a Cobra when you work on slicks?"
He smiled back at me, "Because some day, someone is going to want them."
Of course, he was implying that having a pair of these would earn him a case of cokes or something of similar barter.
At the time, I had no idea that somebody would be me. But I did make mental notation and added the know how to my mental asset inventory.
Time moved one and the incident was placed on the back burner and forgotten. I proved myself as a Cobra mechanic, got re-assigned to the 4th Battalion, 77th Field Artillery and realized that my journey of proving myself to another unit just got reset.
Since I had already gone through the Baptism by Fire routine once already, I was much easier to read the signs, organize allies and gain the confidence of those who would decide to use my talents for the betterment of the unit.
At the point where all of this finally started working in my favor, I had requested R&R and was just about a week away from going, when a maintenance directive came down. It called for the removal of the split cone push pull bearings and the replacement of those with a new single piece bearing set.
The problem with this is the fact that once you pulled off the split cone bearings, you couldn't use them again. These were high tolerance bearings. So pulling them off and using them again was not an option.
Well, as fate would have it, the solid set failed impressively. As a result, another directive was issued and the split cone bearings were to replace them. Only one problem, there wasn't enough of them.
The interesting thing about this story was the fact that my buddy over at A Company, 5th Transportation Battalion would not have been aware of the immediate urgency what he had in his pocket was about to become. Had he, I think he would have upped the bargaining chips.
So, with not enough of them to go around, CPT Denny Kramp, Lt Craig Geis, and SFC Valentine had a meeting of the minds about 12 feet away from me.
"I'm telling you there aren't anymore. I've checked with all the supply units up and down here and Saigon. No one has them."
"Can't we just put the old one back on?"
"It will be your neck, not mine. They fail and we lose our jobs."
"Excuse me, but what is it that you need."
"This is a private conversation and none of your business."
I just listened while I acted like I was doing something.
"Okay, so what do we do?"
"Well if we can't get the part, pretty much our careers are over as we won't be combat ready."
"Sergeant Valentine, are you sure no one in Vietnam has a pair of split cone bearings."
"Yes, sir. Nobody has a new set."
"I can find you a pair."
"Didn't I just tell you to shut up."
"Do you want the part or not?"
"Oh, alright, take the jeep and don't come back if you can't find a pair."
I grew to love Craig's ultimate do or die attitude. So, I got into the jeep, rode across the flight line and drove over to a very familiar area.
I had to wait a few moments for everyone to come in from work. I smelled the pipe before I saw the man.
"Suppose you want what's in my pocket."
"Okay either you're psychic or simply know the only time I come over here is when I want something?
"The second would be the more appropriate answer. What will you give me for it?"
Way I see it, if I was an officer whose career and fate was about to be changed, I'd offer him a ride in the Cobra, since he just saved my ass.
But I wasn't. So, I said, "How about a case of beer?"
"You know I don't drink beer," he scolded.
"Okay, a case of Cokes."
"That will work", he said as he pulled them from out of his pocket.
"Mind if I bring the Cokes over tomorrow?"
"Not at all", he retorted. "Tomorrow will be fine."
He handed them to me. I then shook his hand and said, "See you tomorrow."
A few minutes later, I parked the jeep, turned it off, walked up to the three men and handed them the part. The picture in my mind of the jaws dropping pretty much said it all.
At the time, I just wanted to help and keep my Battery combat ready.
I had no idea how that moment in time was about to shape my future in more ways I could have dreamed possible.

* Fed keeps rates steady
* (New throughout, updates prices, market activity and comments to close)
Sept 16 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 ended a choppy session slightly lower on Wednesday as losses in technology shares weighed down the index even after the U.S. Federal Reserve issued a statement that cemented expectations interest rates would stay near zero for a prolonged period.
The index initially extended gains and the Dow briefly gained more than 1% in afternoon trading after the Fed in its policy statement kept rates near zero and promised to keep them near there until inflation is on track to "moderately exceed" the U.S. central bank's 2% inflation target "for some time."
New economic projections released with the policy statement showed most policymakers see interest rates on hold through at least 2023.
But the market lost ground heading into the close, led by losses in technology shares.
"The Fed is going to be very supportive of the economy and Powell wants Congress to be more stimulative," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York, New York. It's a worry congress isn't being supportive."
The central bank's two-day meeting is its first under a newly adopted framework that promises to shoot for inflation above 2% to make up for periods where it runs below that target.
Unofficially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 38.17 points, or 0.14%, to 28,033.77, the S&P 500 lost 15.62 points, or 0.46%, to 3,385.58 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 139.86 points, or 1.25%, to 11,050.47.

WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said he expects US economic conditions to continue improving, making further rate increases appropriate, although it will be important to see whether a weak employment report for May proves to be an anomaly.
"Lately the economic data have been choppy," Mr Rosengren said in the text of a speech prepared for delivery at a central banking conference in Helsinki on Monday (June 6). "However, I still expect sufficient economic growth to justify a gradual removal of accommodation."
Fed officials are debating whether the US economy is strong enough to handle what would be only the second rate increase in about a decade, and have said they'll evaluate incoming economic data to help decide. The Fed raised rates in December for the first time since 2006.
While weak job creation in May could give the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) pause when it meets in Washington June 14-15, other signs suggest that the Fed is moving toward achieving its dual mandate of stable prices and full employment, said MR Rosengren, an FOMC voting member this year.
"Given that the labour market contrasts with the pattern in the first quarter, and the pick-up in spending observed so far from other data, it will be important to see whether the weakness in this report is an anomaly or reflects a broader slowing in labour markets," Rosengren said.
On prices, "while it is only gradual progress, we are seeing some evidence of inflation moving toward the 2 per cent inflation target," he said.
The US economy created just 38,000 jobs in May, fewer than in any month in almost six years, a Labour Department report showed on Friday. What's more, many people dropped out of the labour market during the month, and a higher share worked part-time jobs for economic reasons.
FOMC voter, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, said on Saturday that the weak May employment number hadn't fundamentally altered her outlook.
"I still believe that in order to achieve our monetary policy goals a gradual upward pace of the funds rate is appropriate," Ms Mester told reporters in Stockholm after a speech on financial stability.
Rosengren's comments are among the last expected from Fed officials before they enter their customary quiet period ahead of the June meeting. Fed Chair Janet Yellen will speak in Philadelphia later on Monday about the economic outlook and monetary policy.

CASE STUDY: The four challenges to growth – and how Buster + Punch is tackling them
Cutting-edge interior design and homeware brand Buster + Punch has grown rapidly since starting out from an East London garage four years ago. But there have been challenges that come with this global expansion. Here, CEO Martin Preen explains those challenges and how Buster + Punch is using the cloud to tackle them and gain more real-time visibility of its operations.
When Martin Preen was brought in by the founders of Buster + Punch his task was simply expressed, if challenging to deliver. As CEO, his mission was to help build the "world's first home fashion label" and plot a path to international expansion.
Launched in an East London garage by industrial designer Massimo 'Buster' Minale, Buster + Punch creates cutting edge products from lighting and home hardware to custom motorcycles. Since 2013, it has become a "cult-favourite interior design brand".
Critical acclaim was followed by financial success. Turnover has doubled every year and it now has operations in seven office locations across three continents. But growth hasn't been straight forward. Like any start-up it has to manage the multiple complexities that come with international expansion, an increase in personnel and a change in expectations.
Here, Preen outlines the four key challenges to growth and how to tackle them:
Preen, a former investment banker, said: "Most people who do a start-up know that you've got to keep an eye on the cash or you're screwed." In other words, cash in king. But managing the cash is not just about reconciling the bank account – it's about having a complete understanding of the supply chain, payment terms and many other aspects of business finance. Understanding requires visibility.
If cash is king, data is too, said Preen. To manage cash requires reading the data. "One of the big challenges for us was that while in London we had a system that was just about okay, in the US we had nothing and in Asia we just had spreadsheets. Trying to pull something together to see where we were took an age," explained Preen. "If you haven't got that visibility about where you are, it's exceptionally difficult to make really, really good decisions."
Earlier this year, Preen and his team selected and implemented NetSuite OneWorld to give it a real-time view across its operations from manufacturing and warehouses to supply chain and customer service. The implementation of OneWorld – which supports 190 currencies, more than 20 languages, automated tax calculation and reporting in more than 100 countries, and customer transactions in more than 200 countries – means Buster + Punch can more accurately forecast international product demand, scaling its manufacturing and delivery processes accordingly.
As a start-up grows, so the culture begins to change. "The core people at the beginning know each other, they do everything together and they know what they have got to do," explained Preen. He calls those early recruits "X-Men of business", people with a clear major talent but put in a position to multitask at a stage where getting the job done is more important than defining precise roles and responsibilities. As the business expands, however, this ad hoc approach becomes incompatible with long-term growth. While the founding members of the team try and hold on to the old way of doing things so "the new people don't quite know what … their remit is." It is adapting to this new "business-as-usual" that is most difficult for employees and business leaders alike.
Preen said NetSuite's capabilities have the ability to "make us smarter". It means using workflow features to define the team's roles and responsibilities. It means being able to manage all operations on a single cloud platform. And it means being able to draw on data from manufacturing plants in Asia, physical locations in Sweden and the UK and retail channels across the world. Where lack of visibility made it difficult for the company to make the good decisions, this new found global clarity is game changing.
"We had a whole hairball infrastructure of systems and spreadsheets across various sites," recalled Preen. "In order to bring that together we wanted to look at a technology that would run in all of our different locations and be able to consolidate that data across three legal entities as well. And we came across NetSuite. We loved the dashboard views and the workflow reporting."
In pursuit of business discipline, organisations can lose the spark of ingenuity that made them successful in the first place. "The challenge for me," said Preen, "is how do we put a level of control into the structure to allow the business to grow but also keep it fun." For fun, read product innovation and what Preen called "involving ourselves in things that are a little bit of rock and roll". This includes motorcycle customisation, joining forces with Rolls Royce to create a contemporary version of the Edison light bulb and an association with the Q Awards, not just as a sponsor but as the maker of the awards themselves.

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in infants with non-specific symptoms is frequently misdiagnosed. Currently, patients are selected for additional testing – such as brain scans – on the basis of clinical judgement alone, which can be difficult because caregivers often do not provide an accurate history of abusive head trauma. The misdiagnosis of these infants can lead to further abuse and associated injuries. Now a biomarker blood test called Biomarkers for Infant Brain Injury Score (BIBIS) can take some of the guesswork out of diagnosing ICH in infants. The BIBIS score is highly sensitive and specific to ICH and significantly improves the accuracy of infant ICH diagnosis. BIBIS enables physicians to rapidly and accurately confirm ICH in suspected cases, allowing them to provide swift and appropriate intervention. BIBIS will also allow physicians to more confidently rule out ICH, avoiding radiation exposure from unnecessary head scans.
Technology Description
BIBIS is a rapid multiplex immunoassay of four blood biomarkers coupled with a multivariate algorithm. The BIBIS assay is performed on a proprietary microporous silicon substrate which enables the rapid multiplex analysis of biomarkers from small volumes of biological samples. The resultant biomarker concentrations are processed using a multivariate algorithm to provide a score that is highly predictive of ICH. BIBIS was prospectively tested on 599 patients and demonstrated 89.3% sensitivity and 48.0% specificity for ICH. This technology uniquely enables rapid, automated multiplex biomarker testing, making it conducive for use in acute care settings where rapid diagnosis is important.
- Improved sensitivity for identifying ICH in infants over clinical judgement alone
- High negative predictive value provides confidence that ICH diagnosis was not missed
- Small volume of sample required
- Fully automated after sample application
- Rapid results, which facilitates use in acute care settings
- Highly predictive diagnostic testing enabled by multiplex biomarker analysis
- Diagnostic screening (e.g., infections, allergy)
- Tests that currently require central laboratory facilities – due to complexity or analytical sensitivity – which are beneficial if performed immediately in near patient settings
IP Status
A PCT has been filed.
Stage of Development
Prototype for point-of-care testing is currently in development.

Make a Mark – Signage for Business
Wikipedia defines Advertising as "a form of communication used to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to take some action with respect to products, ideas, or services. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering."
Well-thought out signage can be the perfect tool to add to your current Marketing Campaign. You can use signs to effectively communicate both who you are and what you have to offer. The great thing is, there are many types of signs to fit all business needs and budgets. There are endless ways you can use signs for your business.
Lawn signs are great if you're in the home service industry! When the homeowner is RAVING about how wonderful your workmanship is, and the professionalism you show, to all their friends at the neighborhood block party, your lawn sign will be a great point of reference so those new potential clients to get your contact information.
Vehicle signs How often do you find yourself running errands and are thinking about that long list of things that you still have to do? You walk by a van parked that is advertising mobile dry cleaning. How easy it for you to jot down the number and voila! one thing less on your to-do list. Here is a list of cars and vans that I saw driving to work today that advertise their business with vehicle signs: Cat groomer, housecleaning, pool cleaning, plumber, landscaper, BBQ restaurant and a mobile dog grooming. All of these were locally owned companies, some had elaborate paint jobs others just had a sticker with their logo, name and phone number.
Guy on the corner I drive by a pizza parlor on my way home from work, and everyday there is a young man or woman spinning around a sign with the restaurant's dinner special. They are listening to music and are very creative with their moves. I always enjoy the show and definitely know where the restaurant is now.
Banners and Flags Get your message across in bright bold colors and for an affordable cost, I have seen new business use banners as their temporary signs or more establish businesses use banners advertise a special offer or promotion. Please do check with your city ordinances regarding the use of banners; some cities and shopping centers place restrictions of these kinds of advertising.
Building Sign Let your customers know were you're located with a sign. The ideas are endless of where you can put a sign and how you can make it look. It is important that you check with your landlord and the city to make sure you are in compliance.
Electrical Signs -Don't be left out in the dark, be seen no matter what time of day it is! I think electrical signs or backlit signs are great if you want to attract business to your location at night.
Point of Purchase Signs The signs that your customers see when they are ready to make purchasing decisions; right at the register. This can be anything from banners, printed posters, floor signs or digital media boards. These can be a great tool for letting your customers know about other products that you offer and as well as other in store promotions.
Printed Posters A great way to display color posters of your products. How fun is it to show the latest hair cuts or your best selling product nice and big for all your customers to see?
Promotional Products This includes everything from pens to tee shirts. This can help reinforce your brand name and recognition, and people always like getting free stuff! I have seen companies create to-do list notebooks and give them to clients, magnets and re-usable shopping bags. These are great ways of getting your name out to the public.
Get creative and advertise your business (always check with you local rules and regulation to make sure it is legal please!) We all know how important advertising is in the success for a business. It is so important to make sure that your name is out for the public to see. Whether you are a store front, a contractor or a mobile service you can use signs to increase your business!

The name, The Palace Tea Room, in itself conjures an image of opulence and grandeur: the dainty sipping of tea with an air of royal splendour and nibbling of dainty finger sandwiches and petite cakes. Traditions upheld by sophisticated ladies gathering for an afternoon delight around delicate, matching bone china tea sets in all sorts of floral patterns.
The Palace Tea Room, located on the first level of the historic Queen Victoria Building, is owned by the same group as the lavish Tea Room QVB, a popular restaurant and function venue which sits on the third level of the same building. Here, you can indulge in the same Victorian tea-sipping glamour in a more casual setting, catering for a wider variety of groups of all ages.
Tea is served in charming Wedgwood Harlequin tea sets alongside matching serving plates and cake stands from aptly named collections such as 'Butterfly Bloom' and 'Cuckoo'. Such beautiful china adds to the atmosphere of indulgence and pleasure provided by the ornate décor and rich, mahogany and pale rose interior. As the name suggests, it's the tea here that's the real focus – the Palace Tea Room offers an extensive tea list comprising over 25 different teas which range from classics such as English Breakfast and Ceylon to exotically named varieties like Dragon Pearls, Pomegranate Oolong and Gunpowder.
With the main draw being the traditional afternoon tea, served elegantly on two-tiered stands, the menu here is more casual and café-focussed than the restaurant's bigger-sister venues. Breakfast is offered all day, as well as a 'tea time' section – dedicated wholly to tea, cakes and the ubiquitous afternoon tea – and smaller snacks, open sandwiches, pastas and larger items come lunch time.
Chocolate Tea ($7)
While we're told that their most popular teas are the Paris Vanilla Tea and Rose Tea, the chocolate tea is chosen as it is one of the more unusual flavours offered. I'm not quite sure what colour we were expecting it to be (brown, perhaps?), but the tea turns out to be a light, orange blend which holds the distinct aroma of dark chocolate. It's an interesting, warming flavour, but a little unusual for us.
Clarity – Citrus Green with Gingko Tea ($7)
Gingko tea is made from the leaves of the gingko tree, prepared in the same way as other green teas. This citrus tea is a cleansing pale yellow-green, with grassy notes and undertones of green tea.
Watermelon and pineapple juice, pineapple and orange juice and pineapple, ginger and lime juice ($8)
Juices are freshly squeezed, with the fun ability to be able to pick and choose whatever combination you like. All juices come in a tall milkshake-style glass with ice, which makes them cool and refreshing. A watermelon and apple juice is icy and has the perfect balance of the two fruits, while a pineapple, ginger and lime juice has warming notes of ginger at the end of each sip.
Salad of baked salmon, seasonal vegetables, horseradish & hazelnut dressing ($29)
We're informed that the Baked Salmon Salad is on the menu at all of the restaurant's affiliate venues, which must be an indication of its good reception. He's right; a mouth-watering fillet of salmon flakes onto a full-bodied salad, brought together by a balanced dressing which is creamy and light. The hazelnut and horseradish flavours are very subtle. It's a vegetable frenzy of grilled squash, eggplant, capsicum and corn, baby beetroot, blanched snow peas and fresh salad greens; as well as a whole half of sliced, creamy avocado.
Chicken & mushroom tortellini with English spinach, pumpkin and aged parmesan ($28)
Tortellini filled with a delicate chicken and mushroom filling are strewn in amongst a leafy mix of baby spinach, rocket and torn cos lettuce in a cream sauce. The unconventional addition of salad greens lightens the dish, which is an innovative touch that steers away from the stereotypical heaviness of other pastas. Sweet, roasted pumpkin hiding underneath all the foliage is wonderful when paired with the gentle flavour tortellini and umami of the aged parmesan; pumpkin seeds add crunch and texture.
Spiced Pulled Pork Open Sandwich ($25)
A generous piling of pulled pork is almost paste-like in texture, layered on top of melted gruyere on toasted rye sourdough and underneath a nest of iceberg lettuce and bright pickled red cabbage. The pork has a flurry of Indian flavours, particularly cumin, although it is a little too sweet for our palates. Twice cooked chips are a glorious hybrid of potato wedge and crunchy chip, with the skin still on and fluffy innards.
Classic hot chocolate ($6)
There are three hot chocolate choices on the menu – classic, French and Mexican. The classic hot chocolate is made with pure chocolate syrup in place of chocolate powder which gathers on the bottom; this makes for a smoother, richer hot chocolate that isn't overly sweet.
SUMO – Kaffir lime parfait, sesame crisp, lime granita, Japanese flavour ($15)
This Japanese-inspired dessert is a composition of professional patisserie finesse. An ice cream 'sandwich' of kaffir lime parfait is frozen between two flaky sesame crisps and dusted in crushed wasabi peas. On top of this balances a white chocolate half-dome enveloping a snowy pile of lime granita.
The best way to enjoy it all is to smash it so that all the elements become one and are easily scooped up. The punchy parfait is two toned, with the subtle heat of the wasabi pea flakes complementing its cool, intensely fresh kaffir lime flavour, while tongue-twistingly sour granita cuts through the creaminess.
The sesame crisp has multiple layers, and all the components eaten in one delicious mouthful meld together to form a fantastic sour, sweet, creamy and crunchy dessert that screams out the flavours of Japan. This quickly becomes our favourite of the day.
Selection of afternoon tea cakes ($18)
If you don't want to go all out on the traditional afternoon tea but still feel like sampling something just as sweet and delicate, the cake plate features four bite-sized petit fours from the Palace Tea Room's the afternoon tea stand – allowing for a little indulgence without too much guilt.
The selection comprises a mango and passionfruit cheesecake, lime marshmallow, raspberry and blueberry cream macaron and an intriguing chocolate, avocado and vegemite slice. The macaron is filled with fresh berries and a mascarpone cream, making it beautifully light and more like a mini ispahan than a macaron; the marshmallow is tangy, stretchy and sticky.
The chocolate and vegemite slice is the most interesting: a dark chocolate cake base plays with the salty flavour that only vegemite can achieve, which leaves that tell-tale yeasty aftertaste. It's a whimsical play on the classic combination of avocado and vegemite, with a creamy, mouse-like avocado layer slicked with a lick of shiny chocolate ganache to top it all off.

- Apollon Theater at Pyrgos
The Apollo Theater is situated in the capital of the prefecture of Ilia Pyrgos. Its construction dates back to the late 19th century and more specifically 1878-1879.
The building itself is a typical example of neoclassical architecture of the era. The facade is decorated with marbles representations, consisting of marble capitals decorated with palmettes.
The construction of the theater was a donation by landowner Socrates Syllaidopoulous located in the homonymous street Syllaidopoulou, in downtown Pyrgos so that residents would have an easy access to it.
The theater replaced the first old tow theater, a luxury wooden building that was created by a greek-egyptian businessman and which for many years was covering the artistic needs of the citizens.
Besides theatrical performances, many different artistic and cultural events of the city were held here. However, due to lack of revenue of the municipality, the Apollo Theatre was abandoned in 1927 and the theater committee asked the city council to transfer all the events to the theater Kastorchi.
The transfer was achieved, but only a few months later the agreement was canceled due to a dispute with the mayor with the management committee of the Kastorchi theater.
Unfortunately, over the years the theater was abandoned once again around 1960. Twenty years had to pass ('80s) in order to revive the interest for this neoclassical building. Thus, in 1990, the theater was renovated completely at the expense of owner Mr. John Latsis and could eventually be reopened in 1995.
This was the spark the city of Pyrgos was looking for, in order to revive again the main cultural and theatrical matters. Currently, four theater groups are operating in the city of Pyrgos, which organize various performances in the historical Apollo Theater, the most important artistic and cultural monument in the city of Pyrgos.
If you find yourself in Pyrgos, try to watch a show and you will definitely feel the value and history of this neoclassical building!

Central Issue: Racial Profiling
When Larry P. was placed in a class for educable mental retardation (EMR), Larry's mother argued that the use of IQ tests to evaluate African American students deprived these students of their right to equal educational opportunities. She argued this because IQ tests were racially and culturally discriminatory in the sense that they were designed to evaluate white middle-class students, not African American students. Therefore, the use of these IQ tests for evaluative purposes led to a disproportionate number of African American students being placed in EMR classrooms, in comparison to white students. At this time, only 10% of California students were African America, yet African American students made up 25% of EMR classes.
The court concluded that the IQ tests used did contain cultural and racial biases that benefited white students and hindered African American students. By using these tests to determine EMR class placement, Riles, the superintendent, had discriminated against Larry P. The court ordered that IQ tests could not be the only assessment used to determine eligibility for special education services; there were less biased ways to assess students. Assessments including factors such as cultural background, developmental history, and school achievement should be used in determining a student's placement in special education.
