A Great Find (How to Build a Self-Driving Organization)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Does your company run on its own?

This happens within the minimum set of rules (…
Here's the Ranking of the Worst Cases of Sexual Harassment!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went out for drinks with a friend in Nagoya’s Nishiki district (Nagoya’s entertainment district). After we finished eating, we usually head to a bar with hostesses, and during our conversation there, we talked about what kinds of things customers do that really annoy or irritate the hostesses…
By honing your on-site intuition, you can predict the future of the worksite!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I think a supervisor’s intuition is usually pretty accurate—both the good and the bad.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m wondering if my butt’s getting pointy… I think I need one of those things with beads strung together like a taxi driver uses…
I want to repair a stone wall (stone masonry), but are there any other construction methods available?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I visited the site where we finished repairing a stone wall last month. Before the work began, weeds and shrubs were growing wildly through the gaps in the rubble stone wall, but now it’s completely unrecognizable! When vegetation grows on a typical stone wall, it…
When things aren't going well, just stay calm and keep your cool as usual.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The rainy season is over, but it’s still raining… Is this still the rainy season?? Part of me is waiting for a break in the clouds, but since it gets scorching hot when it’s sunny, I’m actually fine with it being cloudy lol. Anyway, there are times when things don’t go smoothly on site, right? You know the kind of job site I’m talking about. The hoses get clogged frequently, or…

Hi everyone, this is Enta. Do you know how to find the radius (R) of a circle? R equals the radius, right? lol Have you ever been drawing a blueprint and wondered, “What’s the diameter of this circle?” I find myself using this quite often when modeling real-world objects in 3D CAD.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I saw a segment on TV recently about heatstroke prevention that really made me think, “That makes sense!” so I wanted to share it with you. The heatstroke prevention tips I’m sharing are based on my own experiences and what I’ve learned over the years. Around this time of year, you often see these tips on TV and hear them on the radio…
