The WSJ is NOT Journalism - Here's why.
This article is in reply to [some of] the WSJ documentary on the future of global trade and the global supply chain. To reply to the entire thing will take more than one article because I couldn't get two minutes into it without already identifying a slew of propaganda, and claims that were either incorrect, dangerous, or terrifying.

Tips For Fitness Trainers
There are several tips for fitness trainers to keep in mind, including developing a unique selling proposition (USP). It is also important to be open with clients and take notes during workouts. You should also make sure to be honest and remain objective when dealing with personal information. If you are not comfortable with your client's needs, it is best to transfer them to another trainer. Also, make sure that you are willing to give a trial session for free.

I couldn't make this up if I tried
If I had not experienced first hand all of the atypical and bizarre events that make up the peculiar story that is my life, I doubt that I would believe much of it to be true, and I would praise the creative mind that would be capable of conjuring such imaginative fiction. I would like to think that I possess the sort of original and inventive talent that the creation of such a story would require, but in reality, I don’t think I could make any of it up if I tried. My story is such that no one, upon listening to any part of it, is able to say that they had an experience that is even remotely similar to mine.

22-7
22/7 Today I write with the intention of addressing several grievances. I feel the need to not only defend myself but provide an explanation as to why things are the way they and a personal theory into how. Firstly, it is important that you understand that I will never be able to see eye-to-eye with you. This is not a matter of difference in opinion but a difference in nature. Secondly, I will make mention of my own frustrations to these misunderstandings and your seemingly outright refusal to even consider the fact that, no, your brother is not who you believe him to be. Thirdly, I request complete and utter silence and disconnect in communications. Do not, I repeat, do not contact me about anything irrelevant lest it be an emergency. This is a harsh beginning but I encourage you to continue.

The ADHD Brain
6:30 - Wake up before my son wakes up. Make coffee and prepare his morning bottle. 6:45 - Remember I need to brush my teeth before he gets up. I get to the bathroom still holding bottle, why am I still holding it? Put it down, gotta brush hair. Oh gosh, need to clean the sink, it’s still dirty.

The Real Reason You Aren't Being Promoted
Bunfights, the Dunning-Kruger effect, the Peter Principle and Raised Eyebrows In the year I was promoted, interest rates rose to 5.25%. International markets went downhill on a black bin liner, and it wasn’t long before the world experienced an almighty financial crash. The worst economic disaster since the Great Depression of 1929.

Omar's Diary for May 22
We have a Banksy Here in the UK we have an artist named "Banksy". If you are not familiar with his work it appears on blank walls around the country as if by magic overnight. No one has ever seen him, or indeed it could be her, work yet some of the images are very complex and defy the realms of what would be accepted as "normal" for the painting of murals. Some of Banksy's work has added a great deal of value to properties they appear on. Not that we are even thinking of having Omar Towers valued for sale.

A British Holiday
British Vacation Recently, I went on vacation to the UK and wanted to get something to eat. I entered the restaurant and was seated and handed a leather-bound menu to review. The lunch section of the menu said Fish and Chips. After placing my order, I drank some water and reviewed the informational package provided to me by the travel agent.
