The Golden Rule Barber Co one of those new age snazzy gentlemans barber shops around town just ticked off the box for serving their most important clientele for this work year: the Argentinas national football squad.

The thing is, the barbers werent even looking for a job with them twas the other way round, really. It was none other than young Juventus star Paulo Dybala who came knocking on their door when he reached out ontheir Facebook page, asking for a haircut.

Dybalas message went unansweredat first (we totally get it though; we ignore rando messages on Facebook too), according to one of The Golden Rule Barber Cos staff who spoke to Channel NewsAsia. It was only when they got a call from the Argentina team themselves later on that they realized that the request was legit.

The barbers were informed that the team stumbled upon their enterprise after searching on Google so the haircut must have been pretty urgent. The barbers later went down to Fullerton Hotel to carry out the unexpected VIP house call, where the trimmed the hairs of football stars such as Dybala, Angel Di Maria and more. The barbers could have even styled the holy hairs of Lionel Messi and Nicolas Otamendi too, but alas, they skipped the match against Singapore tonight in preparation for their own weddings.

Argentina takes on Singapore tonight at 8pm at The National Stadium. Their fresh haircuts may or may not have helped the Singapore squad turn the tides against their way more accomplished opponents.

Stay juicy. Like Coconuts Singapore.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- As the gold confetti fell and a fresh gray NBA champion cap sat a tad off-kilter on his head, Kevin Durant embraced his mother Wanda. Then he moved across the podium and hugged Stephen Curry before accepting his MVP trophy and hoisting it for everyone to see.

Golden State teammates Draymond Green (23) and Klay Thompson (right) celebrate after Mondays 129-120 victory over Cleveland for the Warriors second ...

Durant capped his spectacular first season with the Warriors by bringing home an NBA championship, scoring 39 points in a Finals-clinching 129-120 victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 on Monday night.

"It's just a great group of guys, great community, great arena, great fans," Durant said. "I'm just so happy to be a part of it."

Stephen Curry added 34 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals as Golden State closed out its second title in three years after squandering a 3-1 lead a year ago to the Cavs. That missed opportunity stung ever since, and even Durant understood, because he gave up the same lead to the Warriors a round earlier with Oklahoma City.

"We learned from everything we've been through," Curry said during the trophy celebration. "Our perspective, being blessed to play on this stage three years in a row, it's for these fans, for our organization, for these families. To be back here, bring ol' Larry back home, I'm just excited to do something special. I'm ready to do it again."

James, who in 2012 with Miami beat the Thunder in Durant's only other Finals, wound up with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists.

"I left everything on the floor every game," James said after averaging a triple-double in his eighth Finals.

Kyrie Irving followed up his 40-point gem in Friday's Game 4 with 26 points, but he shot 9 for 22.

"Well I'm not happy he won his first. I'm not happy at all," James said of Durant. "... Getting that first championship for me was like having my first son."

Durant drove left, right and down the middle, knocked down three-pointers, dished and dunked. He hit a 17-foot fadeaway over James early in the fourth quarter, then assisted on a three-pointer by Andre Iguodala the next time down as the Warriors pushed a 98-95 lead to 103-95 early in the fourth quarter.

The Cavs scored the next three points, but Durant responded with a three-pointer for a 106-98 lead with 10 minutes remaining.

Cleveland pulled within 108-102 on a Kyle Korver three-pointer, but again Durant had an answer with a dunk. The Cavs never were closer than eight points the rest of the way.

Iguodala, the 2015 Finals MVP, came up big again with 20 points off the bench.

Durant shot 14 for 20 and Curry -- the two-time reigning MVP who took a backseat as the new big star got acclimated -- finished off a brilliant postseason. Not to mention a healthy one after his 2016 injuries.

Draymond Green stayed on the court in a game that featured three technicals on one play with 3:08 left before halftime. David West fought for the ball with Irving, then they got tangled up and Tristan Thompson entered the fray. He and West went at each other face to face. West, Thompson and J.R. Smith received technicals after a replay review.

Green had sat out Game 5 a year ago, suspended because of flagrant foul point accumulation after he swiped at James' groin in Game 4. He had 10 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists in the clincher.

"I had a letdown last year," Green said. "If KD was the consolation prize to lose, thanks for that loss, and we're champs this year."

During the trophy ceremony, Golden State Coach Steve Kerr said, "I want to say a special thank you to Mike Brown and my whole coaching staff."

The reigning NBA coach of the year returned for Game 2 of the Finals after a six-week absence from the bench.

On Monday, Golden State used a 27-4 second-quarter run to take charge and got to celebrate right at home in Oakland surrounded by a deafening home crowd waving yellow rally towels and holding up phones to shoot video and photos as the final minute of the clock ticked away.

The Warriors became the first Bay Area team to capture a championship at home since the A's finished the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the 1974 World Series.

Golden rule: Warriors beat Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5, clinch championship - Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

During my college years, I took courses in personality theory, group dynamics, organizational behavior, and counseling techniques, which were designed to help students understand and appreciate the differences of people in the workplaces. These courses were presented in the context of sensitivity focus where students need awareness about their own biases and prejudices in confronting other people with similar behavioral references.

The Alabama House is embarked upon sensitivity training after the appearance of an email from Rep. Lynn Greer, R-Rogerville, where he was comparing black lawmakers to a monkey in a cage reaching for a banana in a social experiment. The black lawmakers were rendering their opposition to the new proposed redistricting plan.

Greer later apologized for the offensive analogy; he stated that there was no racist intent.

Whatever sensitivity training the legislators received, the bottom line is knowing, above all, how to practice the Golden Rule Do to others as you want others to do to you in any circumstances.

Words, whether spoken or written, have positive and negative effects. Even the well-intention words may prove offensive to some people. In choosing my words, I consider three questions: Are the words true in content? Are the words honest to believe? Are the words appropriate for situation?

Lawmakers should practice the Golden Rule - Times Daily

Did you know the Golden Rule is a basic principle in every religion in the world?

Christianitys Golden Rule says, Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you: Do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (King James Bible, Matt. 7:12) The older Judaic teaching says, What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary. (Talmud, Shabbat 3id) Both of these religions stress the importance of this basic principle.

Buddhism states, Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. (Udana-Varga, 5, 1) The Buddhist explanation about not hurting is easy to understand. Hinduism says, When a man sees that the God in himself is the same God in all that is, he hurts himself by hurting others: then he goes to the Highest Path. (Bhagavad Gita,13.28) This Hindu teaching expands on the no hurt principle explaining that right choice brings us to the highest spiritual way.

In Sikhism, the Golden Rule states in a positive way, I am a stranger to no one; and no one is a stranger to me. Indeed, I am a friend to all. (Guru Granth Sahib, pg. 1299) Realizing we can choose to be a friend to all encourages us to act friendlier towards others. Taoism suggests we also use empathy, Regard your neighbors gain as your gain, and your neighbors loss as your own loss. (Tai Shang Kan, 213-218)

Confucianism applies the Golden Rule to social action, One word which sums up the basis of all good conduct is loving kindness. Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no resentment against you, either in the family or in the state. (Analects 15:23) Confucius refers to the basis for all rules and laws as lovingkindness.

Islam teaches the Golden Rule is also a spiritual value, No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. (Sunnah) To follow the Golden Rule is to follow the deepest spiritual teaching of each faith. Jesus taught this same principle when He talked about the two great commandants to love God with all your heart and soul and your neighbor as yourself.

Expanding the Golden Rule to all of life, Jainism explains, One should treat all creatures in the world as one would like to be treated. (Mahavira, Sutrakritanga) We are only one of a diversity of species on earth who depend on each other for our survival and therefore we should be kind to all of life. Cayuse Chief Young expresses the same sentiment as a Native American, The Great Spirit, in placing men on earth, desired them to take good care of the ground and to do each other no harm.

Because the Golden Rule is found in every religion, we can see that it is a universal principle. Dr. Lawrence Le Shan explains, Do unto othersis not an abstract moral principle, it is a necessary human guideline for our own sakes, our own being. (Alternate Realities)

This universal principle called the Golden Rule is not an abstract thought, it gives us all a powerful guideline to help us live a deeply spiritual life, to express lovingkindness on a daily basis, and to do our part in bringing people together to heal the world.

The Rev. Arlyn McDonald is the senior minister at the Spiritual Awareness Center in Montrose.

As the representatives of nation states prepare to gather to debate the Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons at the United Nations, Veterans for Peace launched its own campaign for nuclear disarmament. The theme for this 2017 voyage is BAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS! No New Nukes!

In 1958 four Quaker peace activists sailed the Golden Rule toward the Marshall Islands to interfere with U.S. nuclear bomb testing. This bold nonviolent direct action inspired a worldwide movement leading to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963.

The Golden Rule and its crew is taking on an ambitious schedule sailing down the California Coast from Eureka to San Diego with side trips to Sacramento and Petaluma.

Veterans for Peace have endorsed the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act introduced by Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass) and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA). The bill would prohibit a first use of nuclear weapons by the United States unless Congress first declares war.

Trinity Church, the Ocean Protection Coalition and Occupy Mendocino are hosting a potluck and presentation, Meet and Eat with the Crew of the Historic Golden Rule, on Monday, June 12. The event starts at 6 p.m. at Trinity Church, 620 E. Redwood Ave. in Fort Bragg.

On Tuesday, June 13, at 6 p.m., Silvers at the Wharf will be the site for a no-host drinks, dinner and conversation with the crew followed by a presentation and discussion featuring guest speaker physicist Lynda Williams. Her expertise is in nuclear power, weapons and missile defense. Williams is a board member of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space and is an ally to Veterans For Peace. For information on meal prices call 707-964-4283.

The Golden Rule Boat tour schedule is set for Monday, June 12, 12 to 4 p.m.; Tuesday, June 13, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Wednesday, June 14, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The Golden Rule is a national project of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Veterans For Peace, For more information, call Ann Rennacker at 707-964-1420 (Trinity Church event), and Helen Jaccard, VFP Golden Rule project manager at 206-992-6364.

Hundreds of thousands of all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents occur each year; it is rare for victims to just walk away after the crash.

Here are four fatal ATV crashes that occurred this weekend alone that illustrate that danger.

As summer kicks off, national ATV Safety Week is a good opportunity to remind riders of the Golden Rules from the ATV Safety Institute in order to ensure a more enjoyable off-road experience.

Remember too, as fun as a child may have on this type of vehicle, ATVs are not toys; they are powerful and potentially dangerous vehicles.

There are no federal laws regarding ATV use. Each state chooses whether or not to set any requirements, and theres no single rule which all 50 U.S. states have in common. Some states, such as Illinois, has the least stringent guidelines for riding ATVs with no restrictions on age, helmet use or number of passengers, and no required safety certification. However, the Consumer Federation of America and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that no one under 16 ride an ATV. Safely operating an ATV requires the driver to make quick decisions, such as speeding up or slowing down in response to changes in the environment. Kids are unlikely to be able to make these choices or have the skills to react to obstacles such as a pond.

For a summary of ATV laws by states, clickhere.

Mark Bello has practiced law for 40 years. He is currently the CEO and General Counsel of Lawsuit Financial Corporation, a pro-justice lawsuit funding company, and the author of the legal thriller Betrayal of Faith available on major online book store sites.

Remember the Golden Rules During ATV Safety Week ... - Legal Examiner

Trending News: Gordon Ramsay Reveals What You Should NEVER Order At A Restaurant Long Story Short

Gordon Ramsay says you should always order wine off the 'bin end' list,never trust if something is 'world famous,' and for f*cks sakes, don't order the special.

One thing's for sure, Gordon Ramsay knows food. He has hitrestaurants, three Michelin stars and a hugely successful TV show, Hell's Kitchen, in addition to a new U.S. version of the show on the way, The F Word.Ramsay is probably the world's most famous chef soyou can trust him when he says what not to do at a restaurant. Capeesh?

Ramsay shared three golden rules for eating out at a restaurant with The Daily Mail.

First, as chef Anthony Bourdain has stressed since his first book, Kitchen Confidential,stay the hell away from the specials.

"Specials are there to disappear throughout the evening," Ramsay said. "When they list 10 specials, thats not special."

The next rule is one that I haven't heard before. He says you should tell the sommelier to screw off with their wine recommendations. Instead, ask for the 'bin end' list.

On ordering wine, he says that in order to get the most reasonably priced bottles, customers should ask for the bin end list - the bottles with scratched labels, vintages that are about to be rotated out or poor sellers that restaurants want to get rid of.

He said: "We have a fear about talking to sommeliers because you think youre going to be ripped off. So get the sommelier to come up with a great glass or great bottle and give him a price. And make sure its under $30 (23.50)."

And finally, unless you know for a fact that the dish you're getting is world famous, it most likely isn't.

When they turn around and tell me it is the famous red lasagne, who made it famous? he demands.

They start coming up with these terminologies, saying and the wicked, famous, best in the country profiteroles. Who said that? Who named that?

Ramsay left another tip: Always reserve a table of three or more. That way, if you're two, you have room to stretch out.

So there you have it. And if you're a big Ramsay fan, take his advice about making the perfect burgers this summer, because these look f*cking delicious.

Is Ramsay the world's best chef, or just the most famous?

Ramsay recently said that he won't leave his $145 millionfortune to his four kids he'd rather they work for it themselves.

Gordon Ramsay Outlines The Three Golden Rules For Eating Out - AskMen

Leaders and managers seeking to engage, motivate and retain employees should consider adopting a slightly revised version of the Golden Rule.

"Manage others as you want to be managed" is the lesson that can be drawn from a recent study of the relationship between varying degrees of work autonomy and levels of employee satisfaction and perceived well-being. The findings indicate that a traditional top-down, command-and-control management style still widely in use is counterproductive in many of today's businesses.

Researchers at the University of Birmingham Business School compared data collected in two separate years from some 20,000 employees in the United Kingdom in order to examine employees' reported changes in well-being relative to levels of work autonomy.

Their analysis found that those in management reported the highest level of autonomy, with 90 percent saying they experienced "some" or "a lot" of autonomy, along with high levels of perceived well-being and job satisfaction. Professionals reported having lower levels of autonomy than managers. Around 40 to 50 percent of mid-level employees reported they had little autonomy, and half of those in lower skilled jobs reported no autonomy in how they carried out their work.

The researchers found corresponding declines in job satisfaction and perceived well-being as levels of work autonomy decreased.

In particular, the study found, employees want greater control over their work tasks and schedule. The study also found that the types of autonomy employees prized varied by position and gender.

Professionals, for example, wanted more flexibility in the pace of work and work hours. For women to whom the duties of family and informal caregiving most often fall flexibility over the timing and location of their work, including the ability to work from home, allowed them to better manage their work/life balance. Men, on the other hand, value having more control over how they carry out their work, such as determining job tasks, pace of work and task order.

"Greater levels of control over work tasks and schedule have the potential to generate significant benefits for the employee, which was found to be evident in the levels of reported well-being," project director Dr. Daniel Wheatley observed.

Autonomy is closely related with self-esteem and sense of purpose, which are prime drivers of productivity, creativity, engagement, satisfaction and well-being. Employees who reported higher levels of autonomy especially schedule control were more likely to say they "enjoyed" their work.

That may seem like a rather minor consideration until one compares the findings of this study with other related studies that have shown lack of job autonomy increases stress and the incidence of health issues related to stress, hastens employee burnout, and has a negative impact on employee morale, retention and productivity. Similarly, research has shown a strong correlation between employees' control of their physical environment (e.g., lighting, space arrangement, temperature) and job satisfaction, productivity and sense of well-being.

Why do so many employees dream of being their own boss? Surely it is not because they want the headaches, stress and risk that come with running one's own business. No, it is for the same reason people strive to become managers and leaders in their organization. They want more control over their lives and how to do their job.

Yet, Wheatley notes, "Despite the reported increased levels of well-being, in many cases managers remain unwilling to offer employees greater levels of autonomy and the associated benefits, because their primary role remains one of 'control and effort extraction.'"

Giving employees more autonomy requires not an abdication of management but a different approach to management. It involves shifting focus from how, where and when to what and why, from outputs to outcomes, and from directing to coaching.

Autonomy is not license. Employees are still held accountable for their results, their hours worked and level of effort, and their use of company resources.

Holding them to a different standard than that which leaders and managers apply to themselves one which, it deserves noting, implies a lack of trust and respect only perpetuates an outmoded business paradigm that is proving increasingly dysfunctional in today's knowledge- and innovation-driven global economy.
