Image: Pexels The first weekend I lived in San Francisco I found a local used bookstore in my neighborhood where I promptly bought half a dozen books that were set in San Francisco. That wasn’t my intention when I walked in the store, but it was a great decision. Seeing a city through the lens of
“Who serves best doesn’t always understand.” Perhaps the greatest trial of love, and its greatest triumph, is to unmoor yourself from your longings and refuse to constrict the other with the dictate of your unmet needs — to accept that love, to the extent that it is real, must come unbidden.
“At its best, poetic lore is like what may be heard of conversation in the dusk, from speakers far or hid, of which we get only a few broken murmurs. What is not gather’d is far more — perhaps the main thing.” “One can’t write directly about the soul,” Virginia Woolf observed in her di
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, no doubt you’ve heard vague mutterings about inflammation and its negative health effects. But what is inflammation? And should we be concerned? In the next few paragraphs, I hope to give a brief overview of what chronic inflammation is and suggest some di
On July 26, 2018, the California Supreme Court issued its long awaited decision in Troester v. Starbucks Corporation (S234969) on whether California wage and hour law recognizes the de minimis doctrine established by the United States Supreme Court in Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co. 328 U.S. 680
As the popular saying goes, "breakfast is the most important meal of day." For some, a well-rounded breakfast has to be their first meal of the day, while others feel that they function the best when they skip out on breakfast completely. Whether or not you should eat breakfast before exer

It's appearing that e-mail is becoming yet another issue on which the NLRB's views flip-flop depending on the party in charge of the White House. Today, the Board announced that it was seeking input on whether to reverse Purple Communications,... via Workplace Prof Blog https://ift.tt/1mhhmUj
Last October, we wrote about a Chicago ordinance requiring hotel employers to, among other things, equip hotel employees assigned to work in guestrooms or restrooms with portable emergency contact devices. The ordinance took effect July 1, 2018. Hotel employers in Chicago should ensure compliance wi
Surely, you remember the days (weeks) of horrible headlines that dogged United Airlines after the incident in which passengers filmed security dragging down the aisle a bloodied passenger who refused to give up his seat to an airline employee. Well, United may soon be back above the fold again. And
In light of Omarosa's recordings of conversations with her bosses at the White House, I thought I'd discuss a question I'm asked all the time in my law practice: Is it legal to record a conversation at work? Unfortunately, there's no easy answer to this question, and a mistake can land you in jail.
Mhmm is there anything better than fresh berries on a summer morning?! This delicious and simple Raspberry Toast has been my go-to breakfast during these warmer months! The combo of yogurt (coconut yogurt is my fave), fresh raspberries, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of honey is insanely delicious! I
This simple potato salad is inspired by one we tried while in Austin. The potato salads I’m used to having are typically dressed with a mayo sauce, making them thicker and more indulgent. But I loved the tangy, light quality of a potato salad dressed in an herb-infused vinaigrette instead. I later
Compared to just a few years ago, the term behavioral economics has gained tremendous currency. To say it is on everyone’s lips would be only a minor exaggeration. For the scientists and practitioners in the field, this emergence from relative obscurity should, at first glance at least, be a sourc
With massive wildfires terrorizing the West Coast and communities along the Gulf and Caribbean bracing for peak hurricane season, Americans once again have natural disasters on their minds. As many families continue to grapple with the historic destruction seen in 2017—during which extreme weather
More than fifty years ago, then Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted the famous—or infamous—experiments on destructive obedience that have come to be known as “Milgram’s shocking experiments” (pun usually intended). Milgram began his experiments in July 1961, the same month that the
Blockchain technology has reached e-books. The CEOs of two startups with e-book distribution platforms based on blockchains, Scenarex and Publica, are going to appear with me on a panel at the Digital Book World conference in Nashville in early October.

There's an argument to be made for eating summer fruit in its raw, fresh form and leaving it at that. It's difficult to imagine a pleasure more intense than the first bite of a ripe peach or sweet apricot or sun-warmed cherry. And that's an argument I do make to myself a lot; and keeping the oven of
For the second time this week, a federal court has rejected the EPA's effort to delay an Obama Administration rule. Today, in Air Alliance Houston v. EPA, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected the Trump Administration's attempt to delay the effective date of an Obama Administration
Handstands are hard, but I’m making progress. Since our focus this month is just getting upside-down, in whatever manner you like, I thought I should try some yoga inversions, too. I did my first headstand today! I cannot do a handstand. Or a headstand. I get kind of terrified even just trying to

In October 2011, seven months after the tsunami and meltdowns, a second collection of the artist Katsumata’s work was published in Japan. Titled Deep Sea Fish (Shinkaigyō), the volume reprinted stories that Katsumata drew in the 1980s about the disposable laborers who clean and maintain Japan’s
Ad occhio, cooking by eye Posted by Emiko Davies on Monday, July 30, 2018 · Leave a Comment Ad occhio, Italian for “by eye”. It’s a very natural way to cook, measuring by eye and cooking not by the clock but by the way something looks (or smells or feels). It’s the way I first learned to
Eating blueberries was a treat when I was little. It didn’t happen that often, but when it did it was in the form of blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. I loved biting into the plump blueberries and the stain they left when I smiled like the Cheshire Cat to show off my purple teeth. This wee
