100 Recipes from Japanese Cooking ISBN4-7700-2079-1 Is one book I have used previously and have at home.

Mainly I use https://www.justonecookbook.com/

Nami has some great recipes on her site.

I also use this Youtube page Francis and Cooking with the Dog https://www.youtube.com/user/cookingwithdog

She is a Japanese woman who uses her Dog as the host with voice over from someone. She is totally oblivious to the cooking with dog reference but honestly has some really great recipes with brilliant instructional videos.

Edit: https://www.justhungry.com/recipes is another good site we use from time to time

FYI this week some of our meals will include homemade

  • Yakisoba & Gyoza
  • Okonomiyaki
  • Agedashi Tofu & Gyoza with Miso soup
  • Beef Gyudon
  • Miso Salmon with Ginger Rice
  • Chicken Nanban Udon
  • Oroshi Soba
  • Chicken Karaage with rice and miso soup

    All of those dishes are super easy to make and I got from either Cooking with Dog Youtube channel or Just One Cookbook from Nami or other Japanese recipe sites.

    Look for actual Japanese home cooks that use real Japanese ingredients not American substitutes.

    I also have a tonne of links to different Japanese recipe sites that we use from time to time. If there's something specific you're after let me know.

Current business & finance uni student here, definitely dreading the new timetable I have (with some early 8am lectures) I have to go to in 2 weeks, offering some tips at 4am in the morning-

  • Ease into study.

  • When you leave campus for the day, I'd avoid any study work unless it's of content you quite don't understand.

  • If travelling on public transport, if you want to, just do some quick light research on what it is you're not understanding, like things as simple as wikipedia pages.

  • Know where your limit is, in that, if you're at the point of procrastination where everything you need to do is just annoying, don't continue. Break the study up. Be it 5 - 10 minutes. It still counts.

  • If you know you're behind and you've got days off between classes & lectures, go either to the library or even somewhere where you can just hammer out the work that suits your tastes. Only enough that you think is enough to be on par. That may be either on track with what each week's lecture about or what you believe is enough to properly understand the concepts.

  • When studying, what ever helps to get you relaxed, do that in breaks (you choose how long your breaks are though).

  • When you get home, reduce your gaming time if you can (e.g. spend some extra time on off days when you're satisfied you've caught up).

  • Avoid being hungry when studying. Same with being dehydrated.

  • If you feel as if working under pressure does well to help focus, set dates where you'd want to do that before due dates for things like written assessments, study for exams. Add extra days to subjects you feel you're stuck on. It will help to avoid the last tip.

    some extra uni tips

  • Check out your uni's student council. See what promotions and deals you can use for things like food
  • Research at uni is more complex than what it was in highschool.
  • Feel your research skills may be falling short or feels as if it's not really answering the question? I hope you've got a good study skills handbook. (I'd recommend The Study Skills handbook by S. Cottrell and Critical Thinking Skills: Developing Effective Analysis and Argument). I use both.

  • If you can, if there's people within your tutes you kinda connect with, see if you can catch up with them and ask if they'll hang out for study sessions. Personally for me, these help in understanding ideas and what you have to focus on.

    Lastly,
    a couple of cups of coffee and an all-nighter can write up a decent essay or report overnight but it won't help in the long term.

    Good luck and just ease into uni with some preparation.

Thanks for the heads up, I found Avid's website and it looks like they're pretty active on the scene. I'll get in touch with them!

You can grab my book right now on Amazon:

eBook


Paperback


Thanks for your support!

If you have Amazon, you can Prime yourself some options. I recommend getting a midrange, if you've never played before. (Or a kit, like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Innova-Disc-Golf-Starter-Set/dp/B06VVRYP6D/) Just search "disc golf." Frisbee golf isn't as common a search term.


https://www.ausdiscs.com.au/discs/


I would recommend https://www.ausdiscs.com.au/product/discraft-archer/ for a beginner.


We play at the Alexander Clark Park in Logan. It's a laid-back course. Hardly anyone ever there. I am surprised that disc golf is so unpopular, here. It's HUGE in other parts of the world, and, except an initial quiver investment, it's cheap as to play!

The screen res on that laptop is 1366x768 which is abysmally low on a modern laptop. You'll find it annoying coming from a macbook which generally have great screens. Especially as a journo as you'll care about screen real-estate.

Same with having a HDD as opposed to an SSD in 2019.

What about this (15.6" model):
https://www.amazon.com.au/HP-Elitebook-Intel-2-30Ghz-Webcam/dp/B00SQG3SX6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=HP+EliteBook+850+g2&qid=1570593298&s=computers&sr=1-1
or this (12.5" model):
https://www.amazon.com.au/HP-EliteBook-820-G2-Refurbished/dp/B07FCWX4GT/ref=sr_1_3?qid=1570593157&refinements=p_89%3AHP&s=computers&sr=1-3
If you are willing to go refurb from a third party seller, this would be the way to go IMO.

If you wanted to buy brand new because of warranty shenanigans, I'd still consider finding a laptop with a Full HD (1920x1080) screen. Dell have a slightly cheaper laptop that is full HD similar specs otherwise. It's a vostro though which I think is even more budget than the inspiron series.

Even then, I'd consider refurbs from first party retailers like dell. You'll get full warranty and a better deal.

If you're willing to wait a couple of weeks, Amazon.com will ship products globally. Clarks are my go-to for dress shoes, and these are pretty good value at $110 US if you take care of them. Maybe worth a look online?

There is a world of information available generally but the consensus by thinking Economists/Finance experts is that Value investing, when done right (and there are a LOT of variables in that) has been consistently the best strategy to get decent returns over the long term. It’s made Warren Buffett who he is.

A caveat, developing a decent strategy and knowing what to look for takes a long time and quite a bit of patience (and discipline!). The intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham should be required reading by anyone starting out.

Other than, as others have said, index funds have offered solid long term returns and are relatively low risk.

Yea my French is still very basic. I need to set more time to learn. If you want to learn a few more important statements like j'aime gros Seins, check this book out http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1569756589

Honestly when in Quebec City I always like the simple tu es tres jolie when striking up a conversation with a female.

There is a really good book on this (I actually think the author is doing an ama on /r/books soon, maybe today!) called narconomics

Good drug empires ARE a business:
https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/1610395832

The kingpins deal with the same sorts of things as any other business, procurement, logistics, staffing, HR, risk, PR, marketing, etc and its all about supply and demand.

Its a really fascinating insight into the real world of the drug trade & while some of it is straight up how you'd expect it be/hollywood gets right (turf battles. e.g. Finite number of shipping territories and border towns to move product through in Mexico, especially lucrative places to sell, etc) a lot of it get wrong. E.g. they almost never kill someone for losing a shipment, because spillage is just part of the biz and cultivating new people and new clients is tough.

Likewise tattoos at the "street" level are meant to promote loyalty. At the top level they are about limiting staff mobility. If people can jump from your organisation easily to other organisations, they'll do it when the perks or money are better. Sure you could potentially hurt them, but that attracts police and the government which is bad for business. Its much harder to take a "better offer" and go work for a startup or rival cartel when you're covered head to toe in your current employers branding.

tl;dr: Tech unicorns should start getting their employees face tattoos to manipulate the labour market.

>forfeit their right to have a say

The act of informal voting is one of voting against the system per se. There was a reason the Soviet Union held elections, they understood the principle act in voting was to express consent to being governed - not the mere selection of a candidate.

José Saramago, a winner of the Nobel prize for Literature wrote a novel about this.

It never ceases to amaze me how those who affirm democracy the most comprehend it the least.

I didn’t realise the year 8 kid at our youth group who looks up funny bible verses was on reddit!

here’s a book you’ll enjoy 👍

u/Pressureftw · 1 pointr/brisbane

I paid $180 for them. They're still listed at the price - if you include currency and shipping. So I'd sell them for $110-120 ono. Yeah they're genuine, they're from a trusted amazon seller.

This was well edited, but the amateurish shots let it down - that first pan looked like a dolly slide and I got excited!

A few tips for your friend:

  • Buy a Flycam Nano. It's a little weighted contraption with a gimbal handle that from the moment you strap a camera onto it will change your fucking life. Watch how steady this guy's shots are as he chases his daughter around a playground.
  • For shots where you're on a board yourself, consider buying an X-Grip, or make one yourself out of 20mm PVC from Bunnings. Or make a DIY Fig Rig, or dangle your camera upside-down on your tripod. The basic message to take away is: never shoot any video on a DSLR without the camera attached to something bulky.
  • Try to avoid having camera crew in your shots. It ruins suspension of disbelief and people start looking for them in the background, and not watching the story you're trying to portray.

    Otherwise, cool vid!

If you're looking for resources, don't search how to draw manga. You'll be directed to shitty western imitations. Good mangaka seek to master existing industry styles (kata). Know the rules before you break them. Try search terms like キャラデッサン (character design) or 美少女デッサン (beautiful woman design) on Amazon Japan.


You can also draw scenes from background reference books and then layer characters from pose reference books using tracing paper. You can further the authentic look using screentones such as these. Put all those materials together and you can pump out some "wow" quality work with very little effort - even if your character designs are rudimentary.


Finally, I'd recommend the structure of man as an all-in-one figure drawing course. But what would I know, I just paint skateboards.
