Massage is a great way to reduce physical pain and the stress of modern life,especially,the beijing massage and shanghai massage in china. The various massage types available provide different benefits, and should be evaluated based on your personal needs. It is important to identify not only the appropriate technique, but also the right practitioner who can help you accomplish these goals.
Swedish, Shiatsu, cranio-sacral and reflexology are just a few types of massage available in today’ s market, each requiring special training and used with specific results in mind. As foreign as some of these names may sound, they can all be categorized into either massage that relaxes or massage that repairs.
A relaxing massage should be pain-free and leave you feeling calm and serene. Due to the inherent endorphin release, you may even feel slightly sedated for several hours afterward. A practitioner trained in Swedish massage will likely give you an easy-going, feel-good session.
A massage that repairs addresses specific problems, such as injuries or chronic pain. The goal is to provide optimal conditions for the body to heal. As sessions progress, you should feel less pain between massages in the problem areas and a sense that healing is taking place.
Unfortunately, some massage practitioners have a “no pain, no gain” approach. Be sure to speak up during the massage if the pressure is too much. If you already have a pain-related problem but find that you are suffering increased pain during the massage or hurting for hours afterward, it may be time to seek a different practitioner. As always, consider consulting a physician with medical concerns or before embarking on a new health regimen.
Please remember we are all ultimately responsible for our own health and well-being. While massage can help the body heal, it should be in addition to good nutrition, regular exercise and stress-reduction.

Cops' massage parlour turns sticky biz
Yet again, the keepers of law are in news for the wrong reasons. Two Delhi police constables — one posted at the Mahendra Park police
station in northwest Delhi and the other serving a suspension — were arrested for allegedly running an illegal massage parlour.
Their advertisements in leading newspapers were straight — "those wishing to get a massage from pretty young faces" should just contact them. Once the customers responded, the accused would extort money from them. This, say investigators, was done in an organized fashion — the accused cops threatened to book the clients for "molesting underage girls." They sometimes even threatened them saying their "errant lifestyle" would be reported to their parents and family.
The arrests were made by the anti-extortion cell of the crime branch after the two accused, along with one of their accomplices, looted a sub-inspector of the crime branch after he posed as a decoy customer. The crime branch said more arrests are likely. "Some other men and a few girls have also been found to be involved with the gang. We have identified them and arrests will follow soon," said an investigating officer.
The accused cops — constable Rann Singh and constable Shaji — were first brought under scrutiny after it was revealed that certain cops were regularly promoting parlours through paid advertisements. Their friend, Indraraj, has also been arrested.
"The accused provided a number in the ad and once a customer called, the cops would ask him to reach near Vishal Cinema at Rajouri Garden in west Delhi. There, the accused would ask him to walk to a nearby car where they claimed a girl was waiting. The would be pushed inside the car and the threats followed," said an officer.
"We believe the duo, along with their accomplices, have looted several lakhs, including debit cards. On November 21, our decoy cop set up the meeting. The accused first asked him to reach Pankha Road crossing where he would meet the 17-year-old girl who will massage him. Later, they asked him to come to Vishal Cinema. Plainclothes sleuths arrested them once they had looted our SI of Rs 5,000 and his card.
These notes were marked with chemicals and will be produced in court," added another sleuth. However, two of the accused managed to flee along with the car used in the crime.
While Shaji resides at the police quarters at Uttam Nagar, Singh resides at Patel Garden near Uttam Nagar. "We will investigate if they were part of a bigger gang," said a crime branch officer.

Five Reasons Massage Therapists Fail
Massage therapists, on the whole, are losing potential clients.
That is the discovery made by massage marketing consultant Eileen Ryan, a blogger for Natural Touch Marketing for the Healing Arts, the online company that provides marketing materials for massage therapists. In October, she talked to Natural Touch Marketing customers to see if there were any common issues bodyworkers are facing in their practice-building efforts. What she found was that every bodywork professional she talked to was struggling. No matter how long they had been in business, who their clients were or what modalities practiced, their practices were all failing to meet their business expectations.
Ryan summed up the first reason bodywork businesses are failing this way, “Many massage therapists, estheticians and Reiki practitioners are shy, retiring, right-brain kind of people. This is all well and good when in session. But to get people to make appointments, bodyworkers have to show people that they can help. They have to be ready to talk to people. They have to believe they are educated, worthy and have something unique to offer. They have to believe in their work. Otherwise, they are going to have trouble having the most basic business conversations with people.”
Here are the other four reasons businesses of bodyworkers are failing to thrive.
1. Bodyworkers don’t target their audience. Targeting potential clients is a straightforward step that requires some reflection. Before bodyworkers ever hand someone a business card or make any other marketing efforts, they have to be clear about what kind of clients they want in their office. They need to determine the kind of people who are a natural fit for their skills. Those are the people massage therapists should target with their marketing efforts.
2. Bodyworkers don’t say the right things when they write their marketing messages. They need to speak to their target clientele. When massage therapists know who they are talking to, then they know what message that client will respond to. Instead of placing ads or sending mailings with general messages like, “Come in for a relaxing massage,” bodyworkers should be specific. For example, “We help you recover from injuries,” “I can help you improve your game,” or, “We reduce neck and shoulder pain.”
3. Bodyworkers aren’t comfortable with marketing, so they don’t do it. Marketing is basic customer service. Just like consumers expect any business to let them know what their return policy is and what day a sale is starting, massage clients want to know if their massage therapist is practicing a new technique, offering a special or changing locations. Potential clients want to know who can help them manage their pain or reduce their stress.
4. Massage therapists think marketing is hard and that it costs a lot of money for materials, printing and mailing. The truth is marketing massage can be simple, straightforward and inexpensive. All it takes is a little time. Marketing is really just extending the care and concern about clients’ well-being beyond the limits of a session. A massage therapist who introduces himself or herself and hands a business card to someone with neck and shoulder pain, for example, is being both considerate and taking a step to build a practice. In the same vein, mailing reminder postcards or sending e-mails announcing specials is friendly, easy and affordable.

Massage businesses vanish during crackdown
As many as half the massage establishments in Mesa may have shuttered their doors since police began a crackdown on illicit activity two months ago.
The vanishing businesses are a result of police arresting employees on prostitution charges and issuing other citations on a large number of the shops.
Police say the massage detail has been welcomed by legitimate businesses as a special team has inspected shops and told operators about tougher regulations expected to take effect in March.
But as police have gone to many shops, they’ve been greeted by locked doors about half the time, Sgt. Ed Wessing said.
Police visited the apparently closed shops during their posted business hours, but Wessing said one of the many problems with that industry is some operators have quietly opened after hours to evade detection.
“How many are actively operating, we don’t know,” Wessing said.
Still, some operators have cleaned out their spaces in shopping centers and appear permanently closed.
Councilwoman Dina Higgins said some places have video cameras outside and only unlock the door when they feel the person at the door is a client and not a cop. That makes it difficult to measure the precise impact of the crackdown, but Higgins said she knows some operators have thrown in the towel.
“I had noticed a couple places 'closed-closed’ and they were ones that were questionable at the start,” Higgins said.
Higgins and Councilman Dennis Kavanaugh have been vocal about tougher regulations on massage establishments, whose numbers swelled recently as Phoenix and Scottsdale toughened rules to drive out prostitution. Mesa has 120 registered establishments, ranging from resort-like day spas to shops in strip malls where unlicensed employees greet clients while sporting bikini tops.
The City Council is expected to approve stricter rules Dec. 7, and they’ll take effect 90 days later. Still, police will keep the massage detail in place even after the rules take hold to drive out unlicensed therapists and tell massage businesses about the new rules.
The regulations require employees to have state-issued certification, that businesses keep logs of their therapeutic activities and that managers register with police.
So far, police have made 32 prostitution arrests while issuing 107 citations against 82 people. The city made 177 inspections and found violations at 54 shops.
The owner of three Massage Envy shops in Mesa welcomed the crackdown and the new regulations. Sam Biggs is one of several owners police talked to as they crafted the rules and he said the new ordinance doesn’t require much more than reputable businesses already do. The illegitimate owners won’t survive if the rules are enforced, Biggs said.
“It’s about time,” Biggs said. “If they’re not living up to the standard that massage really is meant to be, then they shouldn’t be in the industry.”
Kavanaugh said he hasn’t heard complaints and wants the crackdown and new rules to create a “toxic atmosphere” for seedy operators.
“We hope we’re making life difficult for people who are the bad guys and I’m hoping that has an effect.”

Massage therapists join forces at Waimea location
LIHU‘E — Offering a grand-opening special of a $49, one-hour massage are Stacey Vinzant of Sweet Lomi Massage and Alison Koepfgen of Restoration Works, celebrating the opening of their new Waimea location.
The Waimea location is at 4490 Moana Rd., behind L&L Drive Inn just off Kaumuali‘i Highway, and opened last weekend after a blessing by Kelvin Ho earlier this month, Vinzant said.
Services are offered 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week by appointment only, and appointments are required at least 24 hours in advance, she said.
The two state-licensed massage therapists continue to operate a second location at the U.S. Navy Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands near Kekaha, where they have been for five years.
They decided to open a second location off base for those who live off the base and aren’t able to easily go to the base for massages and other body work, said Vinzant, an ‘Ele‘ele resident and state-licensed masseuse for 10 years.
“Together we are able to offer a wider experience of therapies to best serve your current needs,” the women’s brochure states.
Massages from 30 minutes to two hours are available in lomilomi, Swedish, deep therapeutic, sports, sweet lomi blend, shiatsu, pohaku lomi (hot stone), hot towel, reflexology, couples massage, orthopedic, myofascial, cranial sacral and Russian sports.
Gift certificates are also available.
Koepfgen also continues to see clients at the Alexander Day Spa at the Kaua‘i Marriott Resort & Beach Club on Kalapaki Beach, and has been a state-licensed therapist for eight years.
Even before the Nov. 14 grand opening, the ladies already had massage reservations on the books for their opening day, Vinzant said.
“Together we will bring you a warm therapeutic experience and a wide range of healing therapies to best serve you,” they said.
In addition to their career work, both are active community volunteers, with Vinzant on more than one occasion journeying to Kalaupapa, Moloka‘i, to offer her talented hands to soothe and heal Hansen’s disease patients and state Department of Transportation workers there, she said.
Vinzant also volunteers her talents for the annual Kaua‘i Police Department family gathering, and coordinates massages at the annual PMRF Fourth of July celebration, usually bringing in Kaua‘i Community College massage students to assist.
She has also made donations of hundreds of dollars worth of school supplies distributed to needy children through the YWCA.
Koepfgen’s volunteerism takes her to the mountains of Koke‘e, where she is with the Koke‘e Resource Conservation Project and The Nature Conservancy.
Koepfgen also placed third in the category of favorite massage therapists in one of The Garden Island’s Best of Kaua‘i programs, said Vinzant.
They offer discounts for those 65 and over and 12 and under, as well as expectant mothers.

Synergy Day Spa deserves pat on the back
Give Rhiannon Cosgrave a pat on the back.
She opened the Natural Synergy Day Spa on Middleton Avenue in Parksville one year ago this week — and it has been the success she had hoped.
Cosgrave opened her own spa amid questions and concerns that such an enterprise might not fly, but she said she stuck with her dreams.
"Our success today has exceeded my expectations," she said.
At time, Cosgrave said, the business has been overwhelming. But with the help of great staff — from reception and estheticians to her massage therapists — Synergy has been able to thrive.
"She continues to look at organic solutions," said Synergy massage therapist Alex Middleton about her boss. "She looks at innovations and looks after the needs of the client and makes sure to take care of the environment."
Cosgrave is not necessarily resting after one year of success. She recently returned from Mexico, where she received certification in yoga and plans to introduce programs to her customers next week.
"The focus of the spa is to make people feel good, inside and out," she said.
Natural Synergy Day Spa is at 154 Middleton Ave. and is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

City must make move and license massage parlours
Why does Barrie have a dozen or so body-rub parlours when city bylaws ban them everywhere?
Because it's the oldest profession, that's why. And sex sells, where it's legal or not.
So what city officials should do is make the best of an inevitable situation, and attempt to regulate the massage parlours.
Not having a city zone -- commercial, industrial, etc. -- which allows body-rub parlours isn't good enough. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away, either.
The city hasn't ignored other aspects of the sex trade.
Barrie escort agencies, the escorts and drivers are all supposed to be licensed, to make sure everyone is of legal age and nobody has a criminal record.
All Barrie escort agencies aren't licensed, and neither are all the escorts. But many of them are, which is considerably better than none, which is the situation with massage parlours.
City strip clubs and the dancers are also licensed, for the same reasons as the escort industry: to make sure everything is nice and legal.
So it just makes sense to regulate and license the body-rub parlours, too.
They're not going away. If anything, there will be more as the city's population continues to grow.
Some city officials say illegal massage parlours are a police matter. Communication for the purpose of prostitution is a criminal offence.
The problem is gathering evidence when these activities go on behind closed doors. As Barrie Police Chief Wayne Frechette points out, "Nobody goes into these places kicking and screaming".
City police say arrests are uncommon on the charge of operating a common bawdy house. Charges are rarely laid, in part because the sentences handed out by our courts don't warrant the police manpower required to make arrests.
In short, it really isn't worth police time to lay charges on what's going on between consenting adults.
That's not to say police don't respond to citizen complaints about body-rub parlours. They do, just like any other complaint. And police do keep an eye on these establishments.
But massage parlours are hardly a priority with city police, as Frechette says. Police have their hands full with more serious crimes, some of them also in the sex trade.
Just this past week, for example, Barrie police arrested 15 males and charged them with communication for the purpose of prostitution. Eight suspected hookers face the same charges, as a result of a police street crime unit operation.
Frechette's position about body-rub parlours in Barrie is simple: would citizens rather have this go on in private or in outdoor, public areas?
The bottom line is if this consensual, adult exchange is going to take place regardless of the zoning and criminal laws in place, every effort should be made to regulate it so that body-run parlour employees and customers have some protection.
Make the parlour owners get an annual business license, and give them a zone in which to locate. Make their employees get annual licences, which will require proof that they are of age (19 or older) and that they are Canadian citizens.
It won't work for every massage parlour or even all of their employees. But it will work for some, and that's better than what Barrie has now.
Sticking our heads in the sand and pretending body-run parlours don't exist because they're not allowed doesn't cut it anymore.

Make the parlour owners get an annual business license, and give them a zone in which to locate. Make their employees get annual licences, which will require proof that they are of age (19 or older) and that they are Canadian citizens.
It won't work for every massage parlour or even all of their employees. But it will work for some, and that's better than what Barrie has now.
Sticking our heads in the sand and pretending body-run parlours don't exist because they're not allowed doesn't cut it anymore.

Florida Therapist Invents Hand-Saving Massage Tool, Wins Award
“Far too many good therapists fall by the wayside due to injury. That must change.” – Merril Lund, inventor of Career Extenders
FORT MYERS, FL – This year’s winner of the Sotenberg Grant, Merrill Lund, received a $2,000 award for patent-related expenses incurred while developing a career-extending device for manual therapists and chiropractors.
These tools have their origins in years of “finger crunching therapy,” which constantly inspired Lund’s thought, “surely there is a way to do this more effectively, and with a lot less strain on my hands.”
“I realized if there were to be solutions, I was going to have to invent them,” said Lund. “The tools on the market that I had tried were often cumbersome, illogical and not ergonomic. I knew future tools also had to feel as much like my hands to the patient as possible—even better if my hands could be in actual contact with the patient
“I have noticed that therapists are sometimes resistant to change. They have gotten used to doing their work one way,” Lund explained. “I find it's easy for a therapist to get excited about using the tools once they actually experience first hand how good they feel and how effective they are."
After several years of dreaming, imagining, experimenting and meditating, Lund said that the concepts and their construction began to flow.
“I would build a prototype, try it in my clinic, (often rebuilding it several times a week) constantly improving it over and over until it functioned precisely as needed,” he explained.
Lund is applying for CEU accreditation for classes that will encompass learning to use tools as well as injury prevention and self-help techniques for hurting hands/arms.

Reasons for color blindness
If you can not distinguish blue and yellow or red and green, or sometimes other people may correct the color you see, you probably have color blindness. Color blindness is neither a form of blindness nor a full range of color disability. People with color blindness usually lack the ability to see certain colors properly. This is just a form of vision deficiency.
Those two types of color deficiencies have different inherit traits: red-green deficiency is found only on men and blue-yellow one affects men and women equally. Health problems such cataract may lead to color blindness. Once you have symptoms described above, you should go to see a doctor for a color blindness testing, which can determine the exact type.
There are mainly two reasons for color blindness: generic inheritance and various diseases, all of which affect the way that the retina’s light-sensitive cells respond to light with different wavelengths. Inherited forms of color blindness are the majority, such as Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and Kallman’s syndrome. LHON is always associated with red-green color defects, while the Kallman’s syndrome involves failure of the pituitary gland.
Disease-caused color blindness only accounts for a small portion. Cataracts can make the lens less bright, which caused color blindness. An IOL is usually used as a treatment. Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Tiagabine (an antiepileptic drug) are also reported to cause color blindness.
A disappointing fact is that color blindness can not be cured, so that many people with acquired color blindness are forced to discard their jobs that require accurate color perception. Those professions include graphic design and electric wiring. Individuals who are diagnosed with color blindness early enough in life will always choose a career that is less dependent on color perception.
However, there are strategies to make compensation. School-aged children should be given special care in learning if they have color blindness. For example, their teachers can plan particular lessons and presentations that require less color perception. Certain ECPs offer special lenses that can enhance color perception, which are available in both contacts and eyeglasses. Another way to “recognize” the color of clothes for people with color blindness involves organizing and labeling them. Color disabled individuals should also remember the order of different traffic lights.

Taking Your Massage Practice to the Next Level
Many massage therapists are frustrated by how the current economic situation has affected their practice. They are having difficulty making ends meet while trying to find or maintain continuous employment. While most massage therapists love their chosen profession, many doubt their ability to sustain themselves financially in the field over the long term.
Sound familiar? There is hope! There are proven strategies to create an effective plan of action that will help you build a rewarding and financially lucrative career as a massage therapist. It starts with asking some vital questions and then using the answers to help focus your time and efforts in ways that produce positive results.
Clarify Your Goals
Free your mind by capturing your thoughts on paper. This will help you get organized and focused. Start by writing your goals, followed by the actions you need to take to achieve them. Be as specific as possible. For example, don't set a general goal: "I want to make more money." Instead, set a specific goal: "I want to make $10,000 more this year." Another general goal would be "I want to have a more regular treatment schedule," but a specific goal would be "I want to treat my clients on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and on Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 pm to 7 p.m."
Create an Action List
Once you have specifically defined your goals, you will have a clearer idea of the questions you need to ask yourself to determine the actions you need to take to achieve them. Think about the following questions and answers related to increasing your income.
Question: What businesses in my area could also be referral sources?
Answer: First make a list of potential sources in your area. Depending on the modalities you practice, these could include chiropractors, physicians, physical therapists and health care providers; professional office complexes; health food stores; hotels; gyms; and hair and nail salons. After you have created a viable list, hit the ground running. Schedule an appointment, call or simply pop in for a visit to introduce yourself and explain what you do, how you can help and how to schedule an appointment.
Question: How can I educate my clients so they see progress quickly and become raving fans that refer their friends, family and coworkers?
Answer: Take a few minutes to perform a full evaluation, provide education and develop a customized treatment plan to meet each client's specific needs. Taking such measures will gain your clients' respect and confidence, earning you a reputation as a knowledgeable and skilled massage therapist. Integrate postural analysis photos and trigger-point charts into your treatment plans so that your clients will understand why they hurt and how you can help. Encourage your clients to commit to a series of treatments that will reduce and/or eliminate their pain. Other articles I have written on this topic include: Getting Comfortable with Postural Analysis (MT July 2008), Simple Answers Create Positive Results (MT May 2008) and Charting Your Progress: Visuals for Success (MT February 2008).
Question: Which clients and referral sources should I focus on to increase my income?
Answer: Typically, 20 percent of clients will produce 80 percent of your income and/or 20 percent of your referral sources will send you 80 percent of your clients. I have written several articles on this topic: The 80/20 Rule: Maximizing the Return on your Investment (MT March 2008).
Question: How can I ensure that my clients will come back to see me?
Answer: Nurture your relationships with your clients by making follow-up phone calls, sending "thank you" cards, offering treatment specials and showing a genuine concern for their overall health and well-being. Another article I have written on this topic: Building Raving Fans: Consistency is the Key (MT April 2008).
Question: What products can I sell to generate additional income?
Answer: Items like topical analgesics are popular with the public and have a 50 percent markup. It is important to realize that making just an extra $20 a week in profit from selling topical analgesics adds up to more than $1,000 in your pocket at the end of the year. One manufacturer will send therapists complimentary brochures printed with the therapist's name and phone number, as well as a sample of the product attached. This saves valuable advertising dollars while helping to promote your business.
Question: Who has the experience, resources and track record to help mentor and guide me?
Answer: It is very important to keep up on the current research in the field, as well as become familiar with the industry's movers and shakers. Continue reading professional trade publications such as Massage Today. Seek mentors who provide an array of resources to help you grow your practice, such as seminars and home-study programs, online resources, and products. For tips on designing empowering questions to help clarify your goals and determine the actions you need to take to get there, read The Power of the List (MT January 2008).
Syntax
Once you have listed specific goals and the actions you need to take to achieve them, the next step is to create a timeline for completing each action. The word syntax involves the arrangement of parts or elements. The order of these parts or elements determines the outcome. For example, a phone number is a form of syntax. It consists of a series of digits in a specific order (area code + phone number). To call a specific person, it is necessary to dial all of the digits in the correct order or your call will not be successful. The same concept applies to your practice. There is a syntax, or order, in which you must complete each action to achieve your goals.
Question: What is my timeline to perform each action so I achieve my goals?
Answer: Write each step you need to complete on a calendar on the date you plan to start the task and the day you intend to complete the task. Be sure to schedule a date and time for each action. Plan a day to research online and then drive around to become familiar with the local businesses in your target area. Plan another day to write and practice what you will show and tell referral sources and potential clients about your services. I always carry a trigger-point flip chart with me so that I can show people that I understand their pain and that I can help. Be familiar with your charts so that you are able to quickly show pain patterns. Schedule several days to hit the streets to market your business.

Palm Desert revokes license of massage business
Ty Spa, a Palm Desert massage business that city officials say employed unlicensed masseuses, has been permanently shut down.
The City Council cast a unanimous vote Oct. 22 to revoke the owner's business permit.
Ty Spa failed to openly post masseuses licenses and employed unlicensed masseuses, say Palm Desert Code Compliance officials.
According to a staff report, code enforcement officers conducted six inspections at the spa, in October and December, 2008 and March, May and August of this year.
Each time officers noted that licenses were not posted and masseuses did not possess a license, officials said.
Not true, said owner and operator Jeon Suyon, a native of Korea.
Suyon pled her case through attorney Chadwick J. Bradbury of Palm Desert.
Officers issued citations to front desk workers, Bradbury told the council. The only person giving shanghai massage was Suyon, who is licensed, he said.
“I do sincerely believe that (Suyon) did not understand the gravity of the situation,” Bradbury told the council. “I understand the concerns of the city. But I feel that, had she understood, she would have handled the situation better.”
Senior code officer Pedro Rodriguez said Suyon understood and had the help of an interpreter — a family member — who she had contacted by phone during at least one of the inspections.
“We understood each other,” he said. “And it was not just front desk people who were cited. People were seen by myself and the deputies present coming out of the rooms where they were working.”
After the meeting, Suyon explained through her interpreter Ven Bhante, a Buddhist monk, that she understood only that front desk clerks at her shop where getting some kind of citation but she did not realize it would impact the business.
The revocation means she will likely leave the city, Ven Bhante said. “She can longer make a living. She is forced to close down the shop as she can no longer afford to live in the city.”
“She spent her life savings to get the shop,” Bradbury said.
The City Council cast a unanimous vote Oct. 22 to revoke the owner's business permit.
Ty Spa failed to openly post masseuses licenses and employed unlicensed masseuses, say Palm Desert Code Compliance officials.
According to a staff report, code enforcement officers conducted six inspections at the spa, in October and December, 2008 and March, May and August of this year.
Each time officers noted that licenses were not posted and masseuses did not possess a license, officials said.
Not true, said owner and operator Jeon Suyon, a native of Korea.
Suyon pled her case through attorney Chadwick J. Bradbury of Palm Desert.
Officers issued citations to front desk workers, Bradbury told the council. The only person giving shanghai massage was Suyon, who is licensed, he said.
“I do sincerely believe that (Suyon) did not understand the gravity of the situation,” Bradbury told the council. “I understand the concerns of the city. But I feel that, had she understood, she would have handled the situation better.”
Senior code officer Pedro Rodriguez said Suyon understood and had the help of an interpreter — a family member — who she had contacted by phone during at least one of the inspections.
“We understood each other,” he said. “And it was not just front desk people who were cited. People were seen by myself and the deputies present coming out of the rooms where they were working.”
After the meeting, Suyon explained through her interpreter Ven Bhante, a Buddhist monk, that she understood only that front desk clerks at her shop where getting some kind of citation but she did not realize it would impact the business.
The revocation means she will likely leave the city, Ven Bhante said. “She can longer make a living. She is forced to close down the shop as she can no longer afford to live in the city.”
“She spent her life savings to get the shop,” Bradbury said.
Adams closes out year with trade tour to Japan
Mayor Sam Adams departs Friday on a goodwill trade tour of Japan, armed with signed copies of Pink Martini's latest CD and a mission to woo Mitsubishi to pick Portland to roll out its zero-emission cars.
For Adams, the trip serves as a final international hurrah before the holidays, capping off a turbulent first year that started with a domestic scandal.
Over six days he will do what he's done on trips to Toronto and British Columbia, Taiwan and Brussels this year: pitch Portland as a center of bike fun and sustainable living, a place where any green company should love to stake a spot.
Because -- believe it or not -- the rest of the world happens to think Portland exists just outside San Francisco, Adams said in an interview Thursday.
"It's really hard to do business globally if nobody knows who you are. It's a necessary task of a modern Portland mayor," he said.
"I would say that it is a grueling task. It sounds glamorous; it's not. But I do it because I want this city to be known as the go-to place in the United States for sustainable industries."
The tour, which includes a sister-city visit to Sapporo, comes at an awkward time for the mayor. Two of his commissioners are bickering publicly over arming water system security guards. Unemployment remains stubbornly high and city bureau heads are bracing for yet more trims.
And Adams, who thought he had survived an initial attempt to stage a recall, faces a second effort championed by business leaders who say he has a question mark hanging over his head. Adams confessed in January to lying during last year's mayor's race about a sexual relationship he had in 2005 with an 18-year-old legislative intern.
"It can't be easy doing the work while having this hanging out there, and then he also has to handpick who he's going to go on trade missions with," said Chet Orloff, a historian who teaches urban studies and planning at Portland State University.
For example, travel executive Sho Dozono and Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle may have made excellent travel partners on a trip where ties to Japan and a track record in global business matter.
Instead, Dozono lost the mayor's race to Adams last year. And Boyle, who in 2001 moved his company out of Portland in protest of the city's high taxes, is backing the current recall effort.
Still, Orloff agreed that as mayor, Adams must travel to bring home jobs. "With globalization, companies are moving all over the landscape and I think it's incumbent upon a mayor to be out there doing that," he said.
Since Adams took office in January, he has left Oregon about a dozen times to attend to city business.
He's visited Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York on the taxpayers' dime to plead for federal money, talk up Portland and to recruit companies. The other trips were paid by outside conferences or sister-city organizations. In May, for example, he took a four-day trip to Brussels, where he spoke at a bicycling conference and signed the first ever charter to boost cycling in Europe.
"We were the only U.S. city invited to speak," he said.
Adams far outpaces the other commissioners, only one of whom has stepped outside Oregon on city business this year. Commissioner Randy Leonard attended a public safety pension conference in Palm Springs, Calif., earlier in the month with two other city employees.
In any case, the other commissioners don't appear to mind.
City Commissioner Amanda Fritz said she is "grateful" for Adams' traveling. He rarely misses City Council meetings and he works early morning and late evening events, she said.
"None of them are pleasure trips, and he does them in a ridiculous time frame," she said.
Adams' predecessor, Tom Potter, was big on sister-city relationships and led a city delegation to Sapporo for the 45th anniversary. But he left the micro-economic wheeling and dealing to others.
Before him, Mayor Vera Katz attended her share of goodwill trips abroad, or went to Washington, D.C., to lobby for money, even though she didn't like to travel. It's critical, she said, for mayors of both cities to participate in sister-city programs.
"We always hoped there would be economic possibilities as an outcome and sometimes we were successful," she said. "Most of the time, it's goodwill."
This time, Adams will meet with Nissan and Mitsubishi auto officials about electric vehicles. He also has a meeting scheduled with Fujitsu and intends to tour Kanagawa Prefecture, which is considered the sustainability hot spot in Japan.
Accompanying him will be his chief of staff, Tom Miller, who often travels with the mayor, and Charlie Allcock, the economic development director at Portland General Electric. Portland State University President Wim Wiewel will meet up with the mayor for one day, when Adams talks to Nissan and Mitsubishi.
The trip will be financed in part by the Sapporo sister-city association and in part by the city.
That sort of triple whammy with the city, PGE and Portland State, said Allcock, is irresistible to businesses deciding where to land abroad.
"One of the things I learned a long time ago is that nothing happens unless there are relationships between human beings," he said.
"At some point, you've got to go over and shake their hand and say hello and get into conversations about what you're interested in."
