Labor Peace debate returns to Council Tuesday KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer

It’s been eight months since a group of Unite Here Local 11 members brought a megaphone and signs to the Spitfire Grill at the Santa Monica Airport. That October afternoon, as confused patrons called the cops to complain about the noise, the restaurant’s owner, John Clarizio, looked on in disbelief. Clarizio is one of the few restaurant owners here who is required to negotiate a peace deal with a union, known as a labor peace agreement or LPA, in order to maintain his lease with the city.

Pills promising better sex are at the center of a lawsuit filed against a dozen local liquor store owners as a Los Angeles-area law firm brings a multi-state legal threat to its hometown. The firm is representing a Texas-based supplement company, Outlaw Laboratory, who says mom-and-pop store owners are profiting from products that secretly contain sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. Suddenly, the convenience store owners find themselves deciding between a five-figure settlement or a protracted court battle. “It’s really a shadow pharmacy,” lawyer Robert Tauler said, whose firm, Tauler Smith, LLP, has filed nine lawsuits in four states regarding the pills, listing as many as 18 defendants in some cases. “Some people may knowingly understand this is going on and some maybe not.” The large pills are typically dis-

He’s also the only tenant who’s ever been picketed by Local 11. To this date, Clarizio and the union, which represents thousands of hotel employees, have been unable to work out a deal. (Local 11 has declined to comment on this story.) In the months that followed the initial protests, the street outside the Spitfire Grill has been quiet as debate over the potential unionization of Santa Monica restaurants has gone behind closed doors. On Tuesday night, it will be back out in the open, as the City Council decides whether to require LPAs in leases on all CitySEE COUNCIL PAGE 3

played by the register and sold under various brand names including Rhino 8 Platinum 8000, ExtenZone 3000, Love Zen 3000, or Black Mamba Premium, according to court documents. In February, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to purchase or use Rhino 7 Platinum 5000, citing sildenafil as an “undeclared ingredient” that “may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels” in people who take nitrates for various conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. The FDA warned of a growing number of supplements with hidden drugs and chemicals. “These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and bodybuilding and are often represented as being ‘all natural,’” the FDA said. Tauler told the Daily Press the FDA’s warning did little to discour-

From the pack of piñatas grinning on the walls to smoke-infused cocktails at the bar to secret ingredients in the kitchen, the new iteration of Punta Cabras seeks to balance fun-filled irreverence with a serious love for food. More than a year after the popular hole-inthe-wall shuttered its doors, chefs Mark Mittleman and Danny Snukal have resurfaced on Broadway with a sleek, modern restaurant. While the decor and the menu feel much more grown-up, the duo want locals to know they haven’t forgotten their roots. “The people who live here are our bread and butter,” Mittleman said while pushing around his latest invention: a ‘salsa Susan’ with six flavors of salsa encircling tortilla chips ($10). “Tourist season lasts a short amount of time and if we take care of our locals, the tourists will come too. A little bit of both would be nice but, again, I think the focus is (the surrounding) five blocks.” SEE PUNTA CABRAS PAGE 7

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 1

age the sale of products that may contain sildenafil, claiming his firm has found over 2,000 name variations for the pills as manufacturers seek to avoid warnings and detection by the FDA. His firm has sued up and down the supply chain and across state lines. He says it is difficult to go after the actual manufacturer in most cases, because the pills are typically made in China and then sold to individual brick-and-mortar stores. Pills that wholesale for $1 are sold at the register for $10, bringing in a handsome profit for store owners. Tauler claims he sent multiple warning letters before taking the mom-and-pop owners to court in May. “The problem is widespread and we’ve issued many letters,” Tauler told the Daily Press. “Our goal is to eliminate the products from the marketplace.” But the owner of Broadway Wine and Spirits says he never received a warning. Instead, about six months ago Joe Green received a letter by certified mail saying he could settle for $10,000 or face a lawsuit. Green’s distributor, Basc Communications Corp, told him the letter was a scam and encouraged him to keep stocking the pills. An employee for Basc told the Daily Press they buy the pills at a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles and maintain they are safe and that the lawsuit is a scam. “The only letter we got was the first one that said ‘give me ten thousand dollars or we’re suing you,’” Green said. Green, who has run the family-owned business with his wife, Lisa, for the last fifteen years, said the process felt like a shakedown. He has pulled the products from his shelves, which were all marked “made in the USA” and contained other claims like “100% genuine” and “Manufactured in a FDA-Registered Facility.” Green said Basc even sent him a letter assuring him the products were legitimate. The lawsuits caught him and other familyrun businesses off guard and they are hesitant

to pay the tens-of-thousands of dollars to retain a lawyer. Green says small business owners rely on the manufacturers and distributors to make sure their products are safe. “How are we supposed to know? Am I supposed to go to the FDA ban list every day and check for products?” Green said. USC business ethics and product liability expert C. Kerry Fields said California law allows competitors and customers to sue store owners for false advertising if products contain secret ingredients. Most liability insurance policies do not cover false advertising claims, so store owners should be cautious when stocking products that could lead to lawsuits, according to the professor. “Any goods that are not distributed by large, nationally recognized retailers should probably be given a second and third look before they go on the shelves,” Fields said. “There may be a good margin selling those products but it’s not worth the risk because they are representing to the public that their goods are safe.” Fields said the store owners would be wise to settle quickly and then file a reimbursement claim against the distributor for providing a faulty product. “Consumers might sue them as well so it’s best to suppress litigation as quickly as possible,” Fields said. The plaintiff in the lawsuits, Texas-based Outlaw Laboratory, sells a sexual performance product called “TriSteel 8 Hour” that they claim is all natural. A customer service representative for Outlaw told the Daily Press to contact the law firm for all questions regarding the company and the lawsuits. Tauler, the lawyer bringing the lawsuits, specializes in supplement litigation and worries the defendants are getting bad legal advice. He compared ignoring his letters and lawsuit to ignoring a tumor on your neck. “We want them to know it’s really serious and what they’re doing is putting people in danger but for some reason, it doesn’t click,” Tauler said. “They have to bear some responsibility for what they’re selling.” kate@smdp.com

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1

owned property. Local restaurant owners have called on the Chamber of Commerce and the California Restaurant Association to help them kill the proposal. The City is the landlord for dozens of businesses on the Pier, at the Airport, the Third Street Promenade and along the beach, collecting about $4.5 million in annual revenue. Champions for an LPA in the Council characterize the idea as a good faith bargaining agreement between restaurant owners and unions to prevent strikes that could impact city revenues. At the Council’s request, City staff has looked to similar requirements at major airports and school districts in place to avoid disruptions where reliable food is a vital service. In advance of the meeting, staff has presented Council with the example of a “default” LPA given to businesses at the San Francisco Airport. Under that agreement, the restaurant must provide any labor organization that asks with a complete list of their employees, their addresses, and phone numbers. In return, the union will not strike, picket or boycott the restaurant. In SFO contracts, the employer agrees to voluntarily recognize the outcome of any “card check” vote to unionize without a secret ballot. Critics say the model allows the union to coerce employees to vote to unionize since their ballots are not a secret. Proponents say card checks help level the playing field in an industry where employers have all the power. “Given the debate over these trade-offs, this report does not attempt to provide detailed objective analysis of the pros and cons of the Card Check procedure other than to note that is has been in place for nearly two decades at SFO - while acknowledging there are significant differences between the concessions at an international airport and those embedded in our community at the Pier, SMO, the Third Street Promenade and the Santa Monica beach,” the report said.

Multiple restaurant owners tell the Daily Press LPAs give unions their foot-in-thedoor to organize waiters, hosts and kitchen staff inside their restaurants, potentially changing the model for mom-and-pop businesses who have been here for decades. Local businesses already comply with Santa Monica’s Minimum Wage Ordinance, which will raise the hourly wage for their workers to $13.25 July 1 and mandate 72 hours of sick leave for workers at businesses with more than 25 employees. “We feel it is unnecessary and unfair for the city to target small, owner-operated businesses,” said Jim Christel, who has run Back on the Beach Cafe with his partner and husband, Fred Deni, for thirty years. The husband and husband team are tenants of the city. They worry an LPA would hurt their tradition of hiring local teenagers for their first jobs and change the way they’ve done business for thirty years. “We have waiters and waitresses who have been here over twenty years. We are a family and the LPA or the union coming in could change that dynamic and create a more corporate type of feeling,” Deni said. “It would create a barrier in the relationship with our staff.” Without a history of work stoppages in the city caused by strikes, some have become suspicious of the intention behind the LPA agreement. City leases already contain a provision that prohibits interfering with a worker’s right to unionize. “Consistent with its past practices, Local 11 is using its sway with the City Council to advance legislation that benefits its own bottom line,” said Luka Ladan, a spokesman for the Center for Union Facts, a conservative non-profit that has taken aim at the local hotel workers’ union. “It’s widely acknowledged that the ‘problem’ an LPA is supposed to solve is not, in fact, a problem in Santa Monica.” The City Council will meet Tuesday, June 26 inside Council Chambers at 1685 Main Street, and will discuss public items no earlier than 6:30 p.m. kate@smdp.com

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Pico Neighborhood

Culmination of Evaluation and Peer Review by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC)—an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education and the U.S. Department of Education—has reaffirmed Santa Monica College’s accreditation. The ACCJC took the action at its meeting June 6-8, 2018, the culmination of an evaluation process that lasted roughly two years after SMC went through a rigorous self-evaluation. “At Santa Monica College, we take great pride in this accomplishment,” said SMC Superintendent/President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery. “This news is an affirmation of the college’s dedication to high standards of achievement. This accreditation ranking bestows the best possible outcome—for a full seven-year cycle, the maximum allowed. So when students choose SMC, they know they’re making a great choice!” Dr. Jeffery noted that a team including SMC Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Georgia Lorenz; Dean of Academic Affairs Erica LeBlanc; and Associate Dean of Health Sciences Eve Adler, among others, led the comprehensive college-wide self-evaluation process. The ACCJC requires that member institutions participate in an evaluation every seven years and subsequently, be reviewed by teams of peer evaluators. Barry Snell, Chair of the SMC Board of Trustees, said: “On behalf of the SMC Board, I extend gratitude and congratulations to every Santa Monica College employee whose tireless work is reflected not just in the self-evaluation report and this positive outcome, but, indeed, in SMC’s overall reputation as a leader among the nation’s community colleges.” Snell added that the accreditation process was “a remarkable effort which called for in-depth analysis and institutional soul-searching, proving how a large and complex institution can come together to work for a common goal: ensuring that students succeed.” Following the submission of the self-evaluation report in August 2016, the ACCJC sent a team of peer evaluators—who are selected for their expertise—for a “site visit” in October 2016. The commission notified SMC in February 2017 that accreditation was being “reaffirmed for 18 months on the basis of a comprehensive evaluation”, which meant that SMC was deemed to be in substantial compliance. The college received a long list of commendations—eight in total—which cited praise for the use of online education plans, creative efforts in student transportation, increasing safety on campus, among other things. Four recommendations were presented related to institutional policies, practices, and outcomes. College employees set about addressing the recommendations

made, and a follow-up visit took place in April 2018. The final decision of reaffirmation for the rest of the “accreditation cycle”—the next comprehensive review will take place in fall 2023—was received via a letter from the ACCJC dated June 13, which noted that Santa Monica College had met all of the recommendations and expressed “appreciation for the diligent work and thoughtful reflection that Santa Monica College undertook…” To learn more about the ACCJC and the process of accreditation for two-year colleges, visit the commission’s website: www.accjc.org.

Saving the Earth with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Dear EarthTalk: What are some ways Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used to fight climate change and otherwise protect the environment?

David James Chico, CA

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), DEFINED AS

the capability of machines to imitate intelligent human behavior and learn from data, is considered by many to be the final frontier of computing. And environmentalists and tech companies are now harnessing the power of AI to service to the environment. To wit, Microsoft announced in December 2017 that it is expanding its “AI for Earth” program and committing $50 million over the next five years to put AI technologies in the hands of individuals and organizations working to solve global environmental challenges, including climate change as well as water, agriculture and biodiversity issues. Lucas Joppa, Microsoft’s first Chief Environmental Scientist, is convinced that AI is now mature enough and the global environmental crisis acute enough to justify the creation of an AI platform for the planet. “I believe that for every environmental problem, governments, non-profits, academia and the technology industry need to ask two questions: ‘How can AI help solve this?’ and ‘How can we facilitate the application of AI?’,” Joppa said. The older, but rapidly growing project, eBird, has been demonstrating the power of coupling human observers with AI algorithms to provide a source of reliable data for scientists and environmental decision makers. Based out of Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology, eBird engages a global network of bird watchers to identify bird species and report their observations through the eBird website or mobile app. Due to the variability in the observations the volunteers make, AI filters observations through collected historical data to improve accuracy. And now with

over 500 million bird observations recorded through this global database, Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Computing Program is helping to allow calculations that used to take upwards of two to three weeks to now be accomplished in only hours. California’s One Concern is utilizing AI technology to identify and mitigate future risk stemming from natural disasters. Last year, natural disasters caused a recordbreaking $300 million in damage in the U.S. alone. One Concern’s platform can predict the impacts of climate change-driven events, and disasters such as earthquakes, floods and fires at a high degree of resolution and accuracy so that communities can better prepare and respond. Damage from an earthquake can be predicted with 85 percent accuracy within 15 minutes, and flood damage is predicted days ahead of storms. Lastly, whale field research is being revolutionized by AI and drone technologies. “SnotBot,” which doesn’t exactly sound sophisticated, uses drones which allow a vastly different approach to whale research, flying well above the surface of the water where the whales are never touched or approached closely. Snotbots hover above a surfacing whale and collect the blow (or “snot”) exhaled from its lungs, then return back to researchers about a half mile away. Blow samples reveal a vast amount of biological data, including stress hormones and environmental toxins. Prior to SnotBot, data samples of wild whales were gathered by shooting sampling darts from crossbows into the mammal from a loud boat. “It’s not just all about Silicon Valley building cool Silicon Valley things,” says Parley’s Ian Kerr who managed the SnotBot program. “It’s how AI could actually help us save the planet and solve scientific mysteries.” EarthTalk is produced by RODDY SCHEER & DOUG MOSS for the 501(c)3 nonprofit EarthTalk.

WISE & Healthy Aging, a nonprofit organization serving older adults and their families and caregivers throughout Los Angeles County, is one of three community-based organizations in California earning a three-year, nationally recognized accreditation for coordination of long-term support for senior clients. The National Committee for Quality Assurance, (NCQA) a nonprofit that accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations, launched a pilot program in 2016 to standardize, measure and improve the quality of care provided to older adults and others who need long-term supportive services. WISE & Health Aging joined the program as an “early adopter” and is now among the first organizations in the nation to receive the new accreditation for Case Management for Long-Term Services and Supports (CM-LTSS). “The achievement of this accreditation recognizes the dedication of our WISE & Healthy Aging professionals and staff who work tirelessly on behalf of our community,” said Grace Cheng Braun, president and CEO of WISE & Healthy Aging. “Accreditation is not an end in itself, but a means to an end – supporting older adults in Los Angeles County as they live as independently as possible and age in place in their homes.” Melanie Gironda, MSW, PhD, WISE & Health Aging’s director of Care Management, said the agency has offered in-home case management for more than four decades, but providers of long-term supportive services have always had to design and implement their own programs, often with no means to objectively measure quality or results. “The NCQA accreditation process provides a road map for the development of programs and includes standardized measures for evaluating them. These tools are helping agencies across the nation improve long-term supportive services in their communities,” she said. Accreditation is open to agencies with aging and disability resource centers, centers for independent living and or organizations that coordinate long-term services and supports for people who have difficulty with self-care tasks as a result of aging, chronic illness or disability. These may include help with bathing or cooking, arranging transportation to doctor’s appointments, paying bills or performing other day-to-day activities. Coordination of these services – case management – is vital to supporting people who want to live independently at home. NCQA says the fragmented nature of the health care system can be especially challenging for people who need long-term support – and the need for that support is growing as the population ages. Accreditation is designed to help organizations become more efficient, integrate care better, provide person-centered care and support agencies as they contract with service providers, health plans and other entities to meet the needs of clients. “Accreditation improves our standing to contract with health plans and service providers because it signifies that WISE & Healthy Aging can be considered a trusted partner that meets the highest quality standards and adheres to ‘best practices’ to achieve optimal success,” Cheng Braun said. WISE & Healthy Aging is a multiservice, nonprofit organization serving older adults and their families and caregivers throughout Los Angeles County. Headquartered in Santa Monica, the team at WISE & Healthy Aging works to promote and improve the wellbeing, independence and self-esteem of seniors, and to prevent premature institutionalization whenever possible.

After undergoing an application process, SMC was chosen as one of nine out of 31 institutions to receive individualized consulting from OpenStax—an initiative of Rice University and supported by philanthropic foundations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Michelson 20MM Foundation, Google Inc., among others—and join a cohort of schools advocating widespread use of OER at their schools. The 2016-2017 cohort of partner schools saw a 150 percent increase in student use of OER in the 2017-2018 academic year, saving an additional 50,000 students $4.9 million. “Santa Monica College is committed to providing an accessible, high-quality education to those seeking better prospects for themselves and their families,” said Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery, SMC Superintendent/President, “and while the cost of tuition at community colleges may not be a deterrent, the cost of textbooks can definitely be an obstacle for those struggling financially. So we are thrilled that OpenStax has provided us with an avenue to ensure that we are providing the greatest possible access to learning materials—thereby increasing the likelihood of success for our diverse student body.” The cost of traditional textbooks—an average of somewhere between $600 and $1,400 per student each year, according to studies by the National Association of College Stores and the College Board—can often put finanical pressure upon students. Open educational resources, including the free, peer-reviewed textbooks offered by OpenStax, eliminate cost barriers for students and allow unrestricted, immediate access to learning materials, increasing the likelihood that students will complete their courses. “We’re very excited to be partnering with Santa Monica College on their efforts to increase student success and faculty academic freedom through the use of OER,” said Nicole Finkbeiner, associate director of institutional relations at OpenStax at Rice University. Finkbeiner will work closely with the selected institutions to develop institution-specific strategic plans to encourage the use of OER on their campuses. “SMC’s application for the OpenStax Institutional Partner Program stood out due to the dedication and passionate support from all areas of the college for the OER initiative,” she added. For more information on Santa Monica College’s open educational resource initiative, visit smc.edu/OER. A complete list of OpenStax’s 2018-2019 institutional partners is available on their website openstax.org. Santa Monica College is a California Community College accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). SMC is the leading transfer college to the University of California campuses, the University of Southern California, and Loyola Marymount University; SMC also offers career training options in over 80 fields of study, and has extensive student support networks and programs to meet student needs and ensure academic success. OpenStax ‘s mission is to improve access to quality learning materials and to provide free, high quality, peer-reviewed textbooks and affordable educational technology designed to improve learning outcomes.

PUNTA CABRAS FROM PAGE 1

The new restaurant inches closer to the beach, and thus the tourist bubble in the heart of Santa Monica, with its new location at 9th and Broadway. It still has a so-called ‘taco shack” with a quick service menu featuring fish, shrimp, scallop and tofu tacos ($4-$5). The restaurant also added chicken and steak after popular demand. The corner shack also brought back a fan favorite - the cauliflower tostada ($5.50). In this interview, the duo revealed the secret ingredient behind the addictive flavor: fish sauce, giving the tostada a hint of umami flavor. “You try to do what you can without making things too weird,” Snukal said. “Sometimes weird is great if it’s just a little bit. You don’t want a lot of weird. That’s my experience.” “Approachable would be the word I would use,” Mittleman interjected. “You might not know why you’re having that feeling of ‘I need to eat more of this.’” “An older Japanese chef has been teaching me these things,” Snukal said. “His explanation was that the only pure form of umami is breast milk. A baby doesn’t want any other flavor. It is the most nourishing and warming. If you can capture that feeling, you’re the best chef in the world.” Snukal has plenty of room to experiment in his new, full-size kitchen, and a dinner menu to match. Those who come after 4 p.m. can order lobster, albacore, and squash blossom tacos ($6 to $9), salads and plates ranging from red snapper ($24) to pig’s head ($65), among other items. Many of the dishes would not have been possible to cook in the cramped space of the former location. “The thing that’s nice is I get to do some stuff that isn’t in the very, very affordable range,” Snukal said. “I get to use some things that are interesting like live scallops, live lobster, anything that super fresh and expensive.

Honestly, I would have gotten people sick trying to do it without air-conditioning. There were a lot of little things that hindered forms of expression or creativity that don’t exist here, so that’s the fun part.” While they get used to the new, larger location, the duo welcomes feedback from local fans. If you ask for something, chances are you’ll get a ‘yes’ from Mittleman. “I came from five-star fine dining hotels where you weren’t allowed to say ‘no,’” said the former manager of the iconic Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. “If someone said, ‘Do you have this?’ and you didn’t have it, you went to the store and bought it for them. It’s always ‘yes.’” Mittleman hopes his fellow Santa Monicans will give Punta Cabras a resounding ‘yes’ in return. Punta Cabras is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. (11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday), with dinner service beginning at 4 p.m. kate@smdp.com

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 25)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

Your comfortable pattern will be disrupted -- a change that's marvelously lucky, especially for your love life. There's an opportunity to commit in August. The busiest time will be November and December, when your family makes you proud in 20 different ways. In 2019, you'll be playing by different rules. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 33, 27, 8 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

To get where you want to go, you'll have to make your way through the crowd. Start moving and people will get out of your way. Movement is what makes things change.

Living in service to others might sound like a terrible existence, but when your service is to the people and institutions you love, a life of service is the purest way to joy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

The extra social energy buzzing around you today can be used to charm your way into an interesting situation -- or just out of an annoying one. The key to charm, by the way, is listening with affinity.

Your tendency is to look for complexity in the situation. "It can't be that easy!" you'll think. But it is. It's so simple. You know who you are, and you know what's right to do. Just do it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) If the other person believes what you believe and wants what you want, you'll be able to help each other. If there's a mismatch here, you stand to waste quite a lot of time and energy. Find out whether you're on the same page.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) You set out knowing it's up to you -- that if you don't execute the action to the best of your ability, other people's lives will suffer. This sense of purpose will be all the fuel you need.

Some of what happens will be mysterious, but don't rush to make sense of it all. Leave room for wonder. It's the unexplainable things that keep life from becoming stale.

By TONY COCHRAN

The one with the most determination will win. But how do you make yourself determined if you're not? Look at what's there to want. If the prize is juicy enough to you, you'll be determined. If not, you're in the wrong game.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready. So the question is, What do you want to be ready for? What is the dream opportunity you wish were laid at your feet? That's the one to be ready for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Agnes

Want to be more attractive, intelligent, popular and effective in one fell swoop? Be where you are! It automatically lifts you above the distracted riffraff, those who are too caught up in their phones to present any serious competition.

Dogs of C-Kennel

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Having a good teacher will help you to look for the patterns and learn them. Combine this with a commitment to put your head into the task repeatedly, as much as it takes to get great.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Those who find communication difficult will recognize the blessing of you. By being open to hearing the fullness of who people are, you help them express themselves.

Zack Hill

Venus Messes With Success Recipe The square of Venus and Jupiter reminds us that success is a combination of elements. Change any one of those elements and it won't be the same -- and may or may not be successful. The same goes for a loss. So don't be discouraged, whichever way it's going for you now. Experiment instead. The success may be one change away.
