TOKYO (Reuters) - Lovelorn staff at a Japanese marketing company can
take paid time off after a bad break-up with a partner, with more
"heartache leave" on offer as they get older.

Tokyo-based Hime & Company, which also gives staff paid time off to hit
the shops during sales season, says heartache leave allows staff to cry
themselves out and return to work refreshed. "Not everyone needs to take
maternity leave but with heartbreak, everyone needs time off, just like
when you get sick," CEO Miki Hiradate, whose company of six women
markets cosmetics and other goods targeted for women, told Reuters by
telephone.

Staff aged 24 years or younger can take one day off per year, while
those between 25 and 29 can take two days off and those older can take
three days off, the company said.

"Women in their 20s can find their next love quickly, but it's tougher
for women in their 30s, and their break-ups tend to be more serious,"
Hiradate said.

Hime & Company staff can also take two mornings off twice a year as
"sales shopping leave", so they can race to stores to hunt for bargains.

"Before, women could take half-days off to go to sales, but you'd have
to hide your shopping bags in lockers by the train station," Hiradate said.

"But with paid leave, we don't have to feel guilty about bringing our
shopping bags to work, and we can enjoy the best part about sales
shopping -- talking about our purchases afterwards."

No-Wait Weight Loss

Posted Thu, Jan 17, 2008, 2:12 pm PST

Today you begin. Do not wait for the right time, the next opportunity, or a better day - begin now. Put pen to paper and follow my lead.

Action is essential to weight loss, transformation, and feeling better about myself. So, I commit to these actions:

1. I will exercise vigorously for at least 30 minutes.
2. I will write down everything I eat.
3. I will be physically active for 45 minutes everyday, whether it means that I must workout morning and evening, bring sneakers to work and walk at lunch, or whatever it takes.
4. I will eat more slowly.
5. I will drink more water.
6. At the end of every week, I will look at the food that I am eating and have (honestly) written down to (fearlessly) assess whether I am taking care of body or punishing it.
7. I will then make decisions about my next meal, and the ones after that, to ensure that they really do healthfully and efficiently fuel my body.

The party (literally) is over. And that’s the good news because your life’s greatest celebration is in taking actions everyday that make you feel (and look) better!

Happy Trails in the New Year,

Debbie Rocker

Lenovo and IMB?

"IMB" in the headline looked very mysterious... Apparently it was an editorial error in The National English Language Newspaper... Not very funny...
