Two and a half years ago, fed up with online trading sites available, Hooman Bahreini, a Wellington based software developer, started a journey to code a completely new e-commerce site from scratch.
The premise was simple, create an easy to use online trading platform where customers can post ads and sell items for free. How is this different to Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree you might ask? Shopless vows to give 50% of its' revenue to charity. Not its' profit, its' revenue. It is dedicated to supporting both refugees and fighting climate change – two causes close to the founders' heart.
Hooman, 38, studied in India and is originally from Iran. He emigrated to New Zealand in 2010. He left Tehran for a better life and, thanks to his qualifications, was able to easily find work and settle into life as a Kiwi. Many are not so lucky. As of 2017 it is estimated there are over 25 million refugees worldwide . A majority of whom have left behind everything in search of safety and security.
'The life you are born into is pure chance. No one chooses to be a refugee. I chose to leave my country. I said goodbye to loved ones, I was prepared. Refugees often leave with nothing. It is something that haunts me. As such we are dedicated to helping support those settling in New Zealand by giving to Red Cross Wellington and ChangeMakers'. Hooman Bahreini, Founder of Shopless.
Climate change is another cause Hooman feels strongly about. As such, revenue will also be given to Trees that Count.
'The climate emergency is something we can no longer ignore. Our actions need to change significantly in order to curb the damage we are doing to our planet'.
Shopless joins an ever growing list of companies whose values are based on the triple bottom line of profit, people and planet.
Shopless is now live and can be used by anyone, anywhere in Aotearoa.

In the late 19th century, when prestigious journals such as Science, Nature and others first appeared, their exclusive subscription-based business models made sense. The readership for scientific scholarship was limited, and each copy a journal printed represented a cost to the publisher. As a consequence of this, a second feature of the scientific journal was born: in order to keep costs down and subscriptions up, they agreed to publish only those articles they felt would be of greatest interest to the scientific community.
As the 19th century gave way to the 20th, advances in technology and a compounding understanding of the world around us created an explosion in scientific research, which thereby stimulated the growth of this subscription-based academic publishing industry. As the industry grew, the journals proliferated and keeping up with the body of scientific literature became too costly for individuals. Another arrangement, bizarre though it may be, arose to deal with this problem: The schools and research institutions by which these individuals were employed financed access for all of their employees, essentially buying back from the publishers the right to consume the scholarship that they had largely generated. "Universities are, in essence, giving ... the end result of an investment of more than a hundred billion dollars of public funds every year ... to publishers for free," explained biologist Michael Eisen in a speech to the Commonwealth Club last month, "and then they are paying them an additional 10 billion dollars a year to lock these papers away where almost nobody can access them."
To demonstrate how absurd he believes this process to be, Eisen constructed a basic analogy. "Imagine you are an obstetrician setting up a new practice," he urged his listeners. "In exchange for your services, you will demand that parents give every baby you deliver over to you for adoption, in return for which you agree to lease these babies back to their parents provided they pay your annual subscription fee." It is obvious, he concluded, that no parent would agree to such an arrangement, so it is somewhat baffling that scientific researchers would accept it as one of the central pillars of their profession.
Eisen, along with Stanford biochemist Pat Brown and the Nobel Prize-winning director of the National Cancer Institute, Harold Varmus, has attempted to promote open access publishing through projects like the Public Library of Science (PLOS). After seeking pledges from researchers and publishers to commit to the mission of open access scientific publishing, the PLOS crew started two of their own open access journals—PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine—whose review and publication standards are, according to Eisen at least, just as "elitist" as those of "Science, Nature and their ilk." In 2011, though, PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine registered impact factors—a measure of a journal's average number of citations per article that is sometimes equated with its influence—of 11.45 and 16.27 respectively, while journals such as Science and Nature clocked in at 31.20 and 36.28.
Although Brown, Eisen and Varmus would probably argue that impact factor is a poor proxy for quality of a scientific publication, it's also true that the PLOS project has not been entirely successful in drawing leading researchers and groundbreaking papers away from the major journals. "Colleagues, friends and even family members would stipulate all the flaws in the current system and praise what we were doing," Eisen confessed to his audience, "but, when they had a high profile paper, would turn around and send it to the same old subscription journals. It was a very frustrating experience." Eisen's frustration stems from the fact that academic researchers have a tendency to measure themselves in terms of prestige, a currency always in short supply and which sometimes seems reserved for the top subscription journals. Prestige, Eisen lamented, "is a difficult thing to engineer."
The problems with prestige go beyond scarcity. A 2011 study by Ferric Fang and Arturo Casadevall showed that a journal's impact factor tended to correlate to its incidence of retraction. Put more simply, the more "influential" a journal was, the more articles it rescinded on the basis of fraud or error. Though there are admittedly several benign reasons behind this—fewer errors pass unnoticed in the widely read journals, for instance, and researchers who rush to publish groundbreaking findings are often treading in territory that is not yet fully understood—they cannot fully account for the shocking spike in retractions that has occurred in the past 10 years. Over the course of a decade in which the number of published papers increased by 44 percent, another 2011 study found, retractions shot up tenfold.
Brown, Eisen, Varmus and the PLOS crew have responded by adopting a second strategy for promoting their open access publishing agenda. In addition to PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine, which attempt to beat existing journals at their own game, the team founded PLOS ONE in 2007 as a means of circumventing prestige and impact factor altogether. "PLOS ONE," Eisen explained, "dispensed with the notion ... that journals should select only papers of the highest level of interest to their readers," instead adopting a sole criterion for publication. The open access repository directs its reviewers only to assess whether or not a submission is a technically sound and legitimate work of science. "If it is," Eisen declared definitively, "it is published."
Although some might object that the PLOS ONE standards could lead to a hyper abundance of shoddy scientific studies, the results observed by Brown, Eisen and Varmus suggest otherwise. In the past five years, for instance, at least five Nobel laureates have published papers in PLOS ONE, and since 2010 an astounding 83 percent of PLOS ONE papers have been cited at least once. (Compare this with the industry-wide five-year citation rate, which has dropped from 45 to 41 percent over the past 20 years.)
As the next generation of young, successful scientists comes up, contributions to open access platforms such as PLOS will likely only increase. Raised among failing content distribution dinosaurs like the music industry and Hollywood, few may regret relegating the subscription model of scientific publication to the ash heap of history as well.

5 unexpectedly hard things seniors should avoid after the retirement
Retirement brings both a feel of happiness and that of dissatisfaction, though, anyone above 65 can hardy avoid that. It is sometimes obvious to think of all the activities someone can do after retiring, golfing, fishing or just walking around the park, anything is possible at anytime. However, most people, without their proper planning, suffer from some unexpected circumstances. Five of such hardest things about retirement may seem inevitable.
Miss your work
After spending a long period of time in the workplace, a sudden halt by retirement could be felt like hydraulic brake in car running without stopping for a long time. The sadness heightens if you had spent most of the time in the same company or engaged in same type of works. You start missing the job, the importance you felt in the place, reputation you had in the service began to feel like a distant dream.
Financial Struggle
The fixed amount of money coming from the deposit or retirement package will be just some fraction of your monthly pays. Despite the preceding planning, retirement will not seem fair in terms of income sources. The situation worsens when you retire in your early 60s and will have a plenty of spending awaiting ahead of you.
Time seems endless
A feeling of emptiness, even increases without a partner, stays in you and deepens within you. Even if you spend the whole day outside, it may not feel like fulfilling and effectual without doing any work. A leisure is fine but, when you face a long, never-ending vacation, like retirement, it will make you bore after some time. It is usual though to feel like having plenty of time after you have spent numerous hours in busy workplace.
Health issues with aging
It is most common to get sick over the age of 65 so get a 2020 supplement plan https://www.medisupps.com/medicare-supplement-plans-2020/ since people are seldom careful about their health planning. Often, serious health issues will be a hurdle to enjoy your life after retirement. Medical beds, medicine and regular diagnosis become a consistent companion that you never wish for. People, over 65, are reportedly more vulnerable to diseases over the world.
Don't have enough money
No matter how careful you are with your spending and monetary strategy, you will have deficit in your financial status. The fact is that, you can sparsely plan ahead with a fixed amount of money inflowing every month. Let not forget some unexpected situations that may need extra, unplanned spending.

MONOLITH CULT – GOSPEL OF DESPAIR (Transcending Records)
Out of West Yorkshire, England (and I had to do a huge amount of homework to find that out) comes Monolith Cult, a doom metal band that actually had someone do an original art piece for their cover. Much respect for the attention to detail, guys. And they are set to release their album Gospel of Despair (Transcending Records) on November 11th.
When the journalists at BRM write reviews, they select the ones they are interested in taking, so they pick out the reviews they want to do from the genres they want to do them. Which is nice, it keeps everyone comfortable and happy, but sometimes I prefer that April Baggins pick out some random artists/albums so I can go into the writing process with a clear head and a blind ear.
That being said, I'm not very familiar with current doom metal bands, most of the bands I've followed are from the decades before the twenty teens. So when I say that Monolith Cult surprised the hell out of me, you understand my full meaning.
Strictly speaking, I don't think you can comfortably classify Monolith Cult as doom metal. They had a guy from Bal Sagoth helping them in the production room, but I don't really think that did anything to doom up their repertoire. I hear subtle (very subtle) tones of My Dying Bride, but mostly what I hear, and this is what really perked my ears up, is the band NEVERMORE, which I fucking adore. The likeness can be picked up on with tracks three and five, "Kings of All that's Lost" and "Sympathy for the Living."
Monolith Cult could be considered doom metal, if Bry Outlaw's vocals were not so prevalent, but then I would not have liked Gospel of Despair as much as I did. The tracks have a nice sort of down-driven tone, but Bry's voice just has this aphoristic, ethereal tone to it that comfortably removes Monolith Cult from that genre. They fit more appropriately into the stoner metal subgenre, but there's still a progressive edge to their sound, so still not quite the lazy style normally associated with that either. So what I'm getting at is that Monolith Cult is their own genre and it is called progressive doom stoner metal and it has a nice ring to it.
Anyone can easily enjoy an album like Gospel of Despair, no matter what your metal subgenre preference is; while it's slow, it is not uninteresting or lethargic. It is intriguing because Monolith Cult's sound is quite unexpected from a band that classifies themselves as doom metal. That said, there is a minor flaw in the Gospel of Despair Death Star, and no it is not a trap, but it is that the tracks all kind of sound the same. To be fair to Monolith Cult, it is understood that monotony is a staple of the doom genre and while that is the sound they're going for, they are better than that, so it is a little disappointing. I'd have liked to hear some variation in the tracks, even just one track completely out of their wheelhouse (so to speak), focusing more on that killer progressive metal undertone, maybe the next album (hint, hint).
Gospel of Despair is a really good album; it is chocked full of the slower tempo, low-tuned guitars expected of a doom album, but stands out from the 'typical doom crowd' because of the mix of groove-laden bass found in stoner metal and the more progressive metal vocal style. And for that, ol' Hobbes gives this album a 3.5 out of 5.0 axes.
Also, someone get David Allen a stage name, everyone else has one…is he chopped liver?!

Independence? Enough Already!
a radio commentary broadcast on Jefferson Public Radio's The Jefferson Daily
Tuesday, July 1, 1997
(c)1997 by Fred Flaxman
HOST: As Americans get ready to celebrate Independence Day, commentator Fred Flaxman can't help but come up with some radical thoughts on the subject.
FLAXMAN: Enough is enough. After 221 years it's time to bury the hatchet, forgive and forget, and get back together with England. After all:
- King George has long since disappeared, and Americans now go ga-ga over British royalty.
- The tea tax no longer disturbs most Americans, since they prefer coffee or wine coolers.
- England is more or less as democratic a country as we are, and it's as easy to find McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut over there as it is here.
- We think we speak the same language, and there is a strong movement in the U.S. to make English our official national tongue.
- Our best Broadway musicals -- Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables -- all come from England, as does our greatest rock music -- the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, David Bowie.
- So do our best television programs -- Masterpiece Theatre, Mystery, and countless other PBS imports.
- We haven't fought against each other in a war since 1814.
- We've run out of contiguous English-speaking territories to add to our union, except for the Canadian provinces, which should get back together with England as well.
- England has more in common with us than it does with France, Germany and other countries that are slowly and painfully drawing together with the United Kingdom in a European Union. And, in this modern age, it doesn't matter that Great Britain is physically closer to the European continent. Even when transportation and communication were much slower than they are today, England did better economically when it was connected to its far-flung commonwealth, or empire, than it is doing now with close-by Europe.
- Is there any difference between Bill Clinton and Tony Blair? Was there any between George Bush and John Major or between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan (aside from Thatcher being a more convincing actor)?
If the U.S., English-speaking Canada, Australia and New Zealand rejoined the Mother Country, we'd have the beginning of a United States of the World which would work -- a collection of countries that shared the same language, literature, history, culture, values, religions, democratic traditions, freedoms, multi-ethnic populations... and problems.
Impractical? Well, maybe. But it has a better chance of working than a European Union. Of all the multilingual countries in the world (including Lebanon, Belgium, India, the former Soviet Union, and Canada), Switzerland seems to be the only one where the various language groups live continuously in harmony with one another. And that's only because the Swiss are more interested in numbers -- watches, clocks, francs and bank accounts -- than words.
I'm willing to become a British subject -- as long as they don't force us to give up baseball and play cricket. I wouldn't want to see the only real difference between us eliminated.
This is Fred Flaxman
HOST: Commentator Fred Flaxman lives in the State of Jefferson, which has not yet been recognized by the United States -- or by the British Commonwealth -- but which has its own public radio service nonetheless.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Hummingbird Wholesale, a family-owned business in Eugene, is going above and beyond to help its customers recycle.
The organic food distributor sells nuts, honey, oils and more, and when customers buy products from Hummingbird Wholesale, they pay a deposit on the packing materials, such as jars and plastic tubs. Customers get the deposit back when they return the containers.
The company has an 85 percent recycle rate on plastic containers, which means they've been able to keep 30 to 40 thousand pounds of plastic out of landfills each year.
"Just trying to be conscious of our personal impact, as a business we have a personal accumulated impact," Hummingbird Wholesale CEO Charles Tilt said. "How I see it, we can make an easier way for the customer to do a better job where they don't have to work as hard because we've already set them up to be successful."
The company sells the buckets they can't reuse, and other pieces are recycled at EcoSort.

Free screening!
Expanded from Haruki Murakami's short story "Barn Burning," the sixth feature from Korean master Lee Chang-dong, known best in the U.S. for such searing, emotional dramas as Secret Sunshine (NYFF45) and Poetry (NYFF48), begins by tracing a romantic triangle of sorts: Jongsu (Yoo Ah-in), an aspiring writer, becomes involved with a woman he knew from childhood, Haemi (Jun Jong-seo), who is about to embark on a trip to Africa. She returns some weeks later with a fellow Korean, the Gatsby-esque Ben (Steven Yeun), who has a mysterious source of income and a very unusual hobby. A tense, haunting multiple-character study, the film accumulates a series of unanswered questions and unspoken motivations to conjure a totalizing mood of uncertainty and quietly bends the contours of the thriller genre to brilliant effect. An NYFF56 selection.

This is a story a friend of mine told me about going to university in Cape Town in 1970s apartheid South Africa. A rural farmgirl from a modest background, her arrival at university was the very first city experience of her life. She was shy, scared and intimated by the urban sophisticates who ran the Fresher's Week and initially hid in her room, nibbling on rusks, drinking bush tea and feeling a failure. After a few days she found the courage to go into the Student's Union to get some information and, she hoped – perhaps - for the first time since she'd arrived, talk to another student.
With trepidation, she walked out of the bright Cape sunlight into the Student's Union. She stepped into an overwhelming, animated mass of her fellow students, all strangers. Singing, chanting, waving banners, pinning up posters, brandishing placards, handing out fliers. As her eyes adjusted to the indoor light the legends on the banners and posters came into focus, accompanied by a seemingly univocal chant:
Disoriented and self-conscious in her homespun veldt clothes she hung back in a recess of the hall, watching, listening. Eventually she resolved to find her voice and ask the question that was now perplexing and bothering her enough to push her out of her silence. She walked up to one of the brightly dressed, confident, tousle-haired students handing out fliers and lightly tapped him on the forearm to get his attention.
He turned to face her, she hesitated. And then she asked her first ever question at university:
"Excuse me. What is this Free Mandela, and where can I get some please?"
Two middle-aged women sitting together in 2013 South Africa in a Karoo sunset, we laughed together long and delightedly at this charming youthful memory. But my friend told me this story for a serious reason:
"Rachel, you need to understand how completely and utterly ignorant and naive I was about apartheid and politics when I arrived at Varsity. When I got there a whole new world of books and writers opened up to me. I found in books and the voices of writers all the truths and questions that had been hidden from me since birth, and that I hadn't been able to see 'til then. And I encountered collective action, campaigning, group protest and resistance. I discovered - through writers and through activism - the concept of liberty, and the struggle for rights and freedoms."
Free Mandela seemed an impossible, idealistic dream in 1970s apartheid South Africa. But it came to be because people, writers amongst them, dared to speak truth to power. Happy Birthday Liberty. Long may you continue: and for your birthday, let's celebrate with some of the Free Mandela that reminds us of the true meaning of the onward struggle for liberty.
Rachel Holmes' new book, 'Eleanor Marx: A Life' www.bloomsbury.com/uk/eleanor-marx-9780747583844/ is published by Bloomsbury on 8 May 2014, described by Gillian Slovo as "a dazzling account of a woman and her family, an age and a movement, that grips from the first page to the last." Last year Rachel co-edited, with Lisa Appignanesi and Susie Orbach, the much-discussed Fifty Shades of Feminism (Virago), to which LIBERTY director Shami Chakrabarti contributed an essay.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
by Malcolm Gladwell
Blink is a book about the judgements we make about the world in the time it takes us to blink. It is about the inferences we make that we can't explain and the decisions we make that we can't justify, although we know we are right, and most of the time, we are! Blink refers to this phenomenon as "thin-slicing" and teaches you how to be aware of it, and use it to your advantage. Every assertion in this book is backed up by studies and scientific research, so don't be taken aback by some of the more outrageous statements—they're all fact.
We have compiled a list of actions drawn from this book that you can follow to be more aware of how you think, as well as to better yourself. The first few actions will help you hone your decision-making skills, and the next few actions will help you build on your interpersonal relationships. Try to incorporate at least one or two of the actions into your daily habits; you will see a tremendous increase in your quality of life.
About the Author
Malcolm Gladwell is a United Kingdom-born, Canadian-raised journalist now based in New York City. He is a former business and science writer at the Washington Post. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. He is best known as the author of the books The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000), Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005), Outliers: The Story of Success (2008) and David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants (2013).

Michael Brannigan and the People's Republic of China are concluding a triumphant week. The PRC's top energy consultant has fallen in love with Australian geophysicist Kylie Ryan while traveling in Xinjiang Province. President Lao Ming is in Beijing hosting a game-changing summit with the United States. CNN is broadcasting the new reality: the Communist juggernaut has surpassed the US.
Brannigan's train is retracing Marco Polo's historic journey. When the Silk Road Express reaches the Far East's Far West, his team of engineers will assist the Chinese in developing the world's richest oil fields. As Brannigan heads deeper into the Taklamakan Desert, President Lao's motorcade is approaching the end of its parade route. In a few hours, he will celebrate his victory at the Hall of Purple Light.
All that changes in two blinks of an eye. China's Young Turks and Fighting Monks rock the country. Caught up in the violence, Brannigan's love affair meets a tragic end. The Reds and rebels engage in an escalating cycle of provocations and reprisals. In the midst of the turmoil, Brannigan returns to China for a hush-hush assignment at Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric facility. There he overcomes his demons and finds lasting happiness. Everything is coming up aces.

Project Description
We Make Sense of Things.
Manifesto = Latin for Awesome. At least that's what we learned from a Latin guy in the French Quarter of New Orleans last summer. Seemed like a reputable source. Our mantra for who we are, what we're doing here, and how we do what we do. It's a mixture of our company philosophy, our culture, and our irreverent sense of humor. Mix some 80's pop culture references in there, and a nod towards our guiding figure in life, Mr. Tom Selleck, and you have a rock steady foundation to built a company on.
We make sense of things. Like Tom Selleck's mustache. Or Tom Arnold's career.
We Are Royale.
We are a design company. A creative production company. A digital production company. We are here to help connect people to the brands they love.
We focus on the idea, and let design lead the technique. We are a group of diverse artists lead by our common love for creative problem solving… And compulsive late night archery.
We're kind of like Voltron. We work as a team, slaying creative problems with our mech-tiger swords.
We can do a lot of things. Not all of them involving swords. But above all, we're here to help. And make sure we all have fun while we're at it. We do what we do. Because we love what we do.
We Are Royale.

In the 1970s, Bodrum was a quiet, idyllic destination beloved by Turkish families who'd drive for hours from cities like Istanbul for a few weeks of calm every summer. By noughties, following the opening of Bodrum Airport, the coastal town had become the holiday destination of choice for sun-seeking Europeans, drawn in by its sandy beaches and thriving nightlife scene. Now, over a million visitors descend on the peninsula every year.
But for holiday-makers seeking a much quieter haven, the answer is just a short 30-minute boat ride across the bay. Reminiscent of the Bodrum of the 70s, but on another scale of luxury, Kaplankaya is an emerging destination for high net worth travellers and property investors.

HIDDEN HEARTS (photo) & ON SHRINKING (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila
he's more relaxed with me than ever
I feel like one of his male best buddies
this crush that nearly
flattened my spirit is now just
a really good friend
I'm surprised to be quite content
with this new arrangement
we watch a wet male swimmer stand by the pool,
clearly extremely chilled by the evening breeze
my heart-throb-turned-buddy smiles and turns to me:
"How little it takes to thoroughly shrink a man!"
[a 2-liner, a tanka, and two more 2-liners on a dream of 7-6-18. Photo "Hidden Hearts" (10-20-16 009v2) by Roswila]
There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

Begun in 2001, the Florida Tourism Hall of Fame acknowledges contemporary and historic figures whose vision, creativity and drive have had a positive and significant impact on the development of Florida as a desirable visitor destination. One individual is chosen annually and announced during the Governor's Conference on Tourism in September. The award is presented on behalf of the VISIT FLORIDA Board of Directors. For more information, visit FloridaTourismHallofFame.org or contact Sheila Helton at 850-205-3866.
Inducted in 2018:
The 2018 Florida Tourism Hall of Fame inductee is the late Rhea Chiles, wife of former Florida Senator and Governor, Lawton Chiles. Known as an influential force in her husband's policy initiatives, Rhea Chiles made many contributions to Florida tourism, including the establishment of Florida House, the Polk Museum of Art and the Studio at Gulf and Pine.
In the late 1960s, Rhea and Lawton Chiles were on vacation in Washington, D.C. with their young children when they became lost and found themselves on Embassy Row. One of the children said "Let's go to Florida's embassy and they will tell us where we are." Rhea and Lawton explained that only foreign countries had embassies and states did not. The idea, however, intrigued Mrs. Chiles.
In 1972, the same year Lawton Chiles was first elected to the U.S. Senate, her idea came to life when she founded Florida House, the only state embassy in Washington, D.C. Located one block from the U.S. Capitol and across the street from the Supreme Court, Florida House provides hospitality and information to Floridians visiting the nation's capital. Rhea Chiles served as president and CEO of the Florida House from 1973 to 1988, and as Chairman Emeritus until her death on November 8, 2015. Mrs. Chiles' watercolor, "Window to Washington," still remains the artistic signature of Florida House.
In the 1960s, Rhea Chiles was a primary founder of the Polk County Museum of Art. Located in Lakeland, Florida, and now known as the Polk Museum of Art, it is the largest and only nationally accredited visual arts organization in Polk County, and since 2010, has been the only Smithsonian Affiliate between Orlando and Tampa.
Rhea Chiles spent her retirement years on Anna Maria Island, where she developed and managed the cultural art gallery and event facility, Studio at Gulf and Pine. As a nod to the late artist, part of the studio's permanent collection includes many of the Chiles family's collection of paintings.
Rhea Chiles has, to this day, had a profound personal and professional impact on Florida's tourism industry. It is our great honor to present the VISIT FLORIDA Tourism Hall of Fame Award posthumously to Rhea Chiles.

What an honor, privilege and a blessing for you to have come to Huntsville. Your quilts are absolutely exquisite! We all appreciated you coming and sharing so much of yourself, your time, energy and your passion of quilting with us. Your Saturday class was so enjoyable!!! You truly have many gifts and among them a huge supply of patience!!! You were so good to answer any question we had with such kindness and encouragement. You hold in your hands a wealth of information. You did us a great service in providing us instruction using the overhead projector. That was such a smart thing to do so that we could all see and understand what you were doing. Having you walk around to each of us on an individual basis checking our work and encouraging us was very reassuring. Your tender spirit and kindness touched my heart. Thank you for coming to share and teach us the wonderful gifts you have been blessed with. I truly look forward to learning how to hand quilt from you someday soon!!
September 19, 2009
I just thought you might like to see my finished product from your class at the WI Quilt Expo. It wasn't rolled into a ball and thrown into a corner to finish at a later date - I finished it this week and then made it into a simple pillow. My three year old said, "Oh my, mommy, thats nice!" Ah, from the mouths of babes... Thanks so much for your workshop. I can't believe the difference in my stitches between a size 9 or 10 needle (which I had been using) and a size 12. I'm very pleased.
Thanks again,
Anne Beyer

273 Thomson Road
#01-06 Novena Gardens
Singapore 307644
11:00am - 11:00pm
We had the 22.90 range - mac and cheese, pesto and CARAMEL CARNIVORE. I liked the last pasta best, but the mac and cheese was a close second!
Brined for 2 weeks before it hits the grill for that lovely char and the oven for that perfectly even cook - no sous vide involved here. The wagyu tomahawk itself is ordered without the bone so you gain all that 'bone' weight in meat. It's finally crusted in toasted black sesame before being served with slow roasted tomatoes and ohsoamazingcaramelised carrots.
The meat is then carved and served at the table, in batches, so the meat stays juicy and warm throughout the meal. The richness of the meat, with a little tartness from the tomatoes and sweetness from the caramelised carrots - takes you to a happy food coma after the meal is done.
Don't forget to also try their soups and pastas (tomato soup, Muddy Mushroom soup, Clammy Addiction and Caramel Carnivore (the upgraded version has meatballs now!) pastas being some of my favorites! Too bad the killed the Bourdain). A reservation and a $100 deposit is required when you book the wagyu tomahawk or the short ribs. Go with at least 4 pax or 3 monsters. You won't regret this.
#burpple #pastaj
Delicious pasta rich in clammy stock. Worth it to order again and again
Best steak ever!! No dishes in Pasta J disappoints. And best thing is that it's also pet friendly. Nicely done with sesame seeds coating the steak. Savoured every mouth of it 😋
One of the star dishes at this diner along Thomson Road is the Break-Up Steak ($42.90); its name connotes that the steak is good enough to replace a partner after a break up. Though we can't speak for that, we do know you can expect 250g of hearty ribeye cooked to tender and juicy perfection, complete with a smoky crust derived from their secret housemade rub.

Fragrant(can smell as soon as it hits the table) and extremely coconutty as advertised. The texture was really velvety but I felt the burntness of the toast overwhelming the taste of the Kaya. My friend however could perceive the taste of the Kaya through the toast and he absolutely loved it

Chart 1: ANNJOO's weekly chart as at Jan 16, 2018 (Source: Malaysiastock.biz)
Why did Annjoo drop so much in the past 2 weeks? The drop in Annjoo's share price could be due to the correction in steel rebar prices in China in the past 2 months. Rebar prices peaked at 4950 yuan in December last year, and is now trading at 3800 yuan- a drop of 25%!
Chart 2: China Steel Rebar Price chart as at Jan 16, 2018 (Source:Sunsirs.com)
Is this a short-term correction or has steel rebar prices peaked? Looking at the chart below, we can see that the last 2 years rally is fairly similarly to the 200-2008 rally which ended during the Global Financial Crisis. While there is no crisis on the horizon, a reversal in the price uptrend could lead to lower steel prices and lower earning for steel companies.
Chart 3: Global Steel Rebar Price chart as at Jan8, 2018 (Source: Steelbenchmarker.com)
Based on the above, we must be careful to avoid over-exposing ourselves to a sector that's in peak earning today. As for Annjoo, you would have to monitor closely and be prepared to take the necessary action to reduce your position in the event the share price breached the uptrend line at RM3.60.

Where I went: The Whittemore Center to watch the University of New Hampshire Men's Hockey team at 128 Main St, Durham
What it is: The University of New Hampshire Men's Hockey team took on division rival Vermont in the home opener.
What I did: I got a phone call from my friend Aiden asking if I wanted to go with him to a game because he had a couple of tickets to the season opener. Hockey has always been one of the top sports at the University of New Hampshire and I remember my dad taking me to games as a kid. It had been years since I last attended a game, and it has been on my bucket list for this column ever since I took over a couple months back — so, of course, I jumped at the chance to see a game. It did not disappoint.
At the start of the home opener, the Wildcat record stood at 0-2-1, but with a new coach and a young team the expectations are always a little lower for the first couple of games of the season as the team begins to come together. This is just the natural process of sports, and it was very obvious over the first two periods of play. Vermont started the game off strong, netting their first goal with just under seven minutes left in the first period and then again with just seconds remaining before the intermission. The score stood at 0-2 Vermont, and at this point Aiden and I got up to head to the concession stand.
By the start of the second period, things were slowly beginning to come together. Our defense looked solid and refused to allow any Vermont player access to an easy shot on net, but our offense still seemed sluggish aside from a couple of decent shots on the opposing goalie. The biggest issue for both sides seemed to be over-anxiousness, as any time either offensive player crossed the centerline, a frantic shot or inaccurate pass immediately ensued. Chalk that up to early-season jitters. Just as the second period was coming to a close, a stray pass flew up and into the hands of a quick-witted spectator three seats down from us, and with that the second intermission was preceded by the same 0-2 score.
At this point, with the game showing signs of being over before the final period, Aiden and I tried to determine whether we thought it was going to be worth it to stay until the end of the game. With the first pitch of Game 4 of the World Series starting soon, priorities needed to be set. We elected to stay for the first couple of minutes of the third period and have the Red Sox play on my phone so we could check in periodically between plays.
The Wildcats came out from the intermission a completely different team. Prior to this period, we might have had a handful of shots on net, but now we were assaulting it. Eventually our first goal came on a tip-in rebound from a front and center slapshot ricochet. The crowd went wild as we celebrated our first goal almost 4 minutes into the final period, and the ceremonial fish was thrown onto the ice. The score stood 1-2 Vermont. We were skating with newfound speed and adrenaline, but the clock was ticking. A sharp whistle indicated the start of a power play in favor of UNH. This was our chance, and we did not disappoint. Another slapshot ripped across the ice and off the pads of the Vermont goalie, only to be chipped back in to the side of the net by our nearby forward. The game was tied at 2 apiece. The horn sounded and this game was heading to overtime.
With nothing but momentum on our side, an excited buzz filled the arena as the players lined up for their five minutes of sudden-death overtime. Five minutes were on the clock, but we only needed two. One minute and 40 seconds into overtime, the third put-back rebound was tipped between the legs of Vermont's goalie and the crowd went wild. The comeback was over, and with it, the University of New Hampshire Men's Hockey team, and their first-year coach Mike Souza, collected their first win of the season, and of his UNH career.
Who else would enjoy this: The University of New Hampshire offers some of the most exciting and top-tier athletics in the state of New Hampshire, with hockey, for years, being one of the finest teams in the nation. Although still adjusting to new leadership in first-year coach Mike Souza, the team shows a lot of promise. Those who enjoy fast-paced, top-level college hockey would enjoy stopping in at "The Whit" for a game, as well as those who are simply looking to support the University of New Hampshire. UNH hockey games are fun for all ages and seem to always offer suspense by ending in dramatic fashion. I would highly recommend stopping in to watch either the men or women's games as they are both headed toward another successful season.

THE old-fashioned is a drink in dire need of a p.r. makeover. Its name, in our youth-obsessed moment, doesn't really draw in the curious. More's the pity, for the old-fashioned is one of the best holdovers from the American cocktail-era heyday.
I find it winning for two reasons. First, it's one of the very few drinks still consumed that require muddling -- for bartenders, the mixological equivalent of playing in a puddle. It conjures the panache of times when men wore sock garters, telephones had dials and drinks were constructed rather than merely poured.
Second, with a tug of spice from the bitters, a mash of citrus and a spoonful of sugar to goose the natural sweetness of the bourbon, it very nimbly defangs whiskey for those whose palates normally find the stuff insufferable. At the same time, it frames the liquor's boldness in a way that still gets the nod from those who normally tipple neat. A fine line to walk.
The recipe is attributed to a barman at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, who is said to have invented it around 1900 for Col. James Pepper, a famous distiller of the time. In reality, a whiskey cocktail with a notch of sugar and some bitters, with or without the orange and cherry that color many people's impression of the drink, seems to have been evolving in differing versions since the early 1800's.
Nearly everyone has a story about an aunt or a grandfather who used to drink such cocktails, but only intrepid connoisseurs these days stoop to try this concoction -- and as often as not become converts. Kingsley Amis, in a 1972 treatise called ''On Drink,'' had stern words for those who might denigrate this libation, calling it, ''the only cocktail really to rival the martini and its variants.''
In the time capsule that is the Midwest, where Saketinis fear to tread, the old-fashioned has never suffered a falloff in popularity. The drink there is unspokenly made with brandy, and there are those who make versions with rum or applejack, but the acknowledged consensus calls for rye or bourbon. (Amis's recipe begins with ''one huge slug bourbon whiskey.'')
This is a drink best savored in winter before tucking into a hearty dinner or decamping to a hearthside. It works just as well, however, on those midautumn nights when your landlord has not yet turned on the heat.
Toby Cecchini is working on a bartender's memoirs, due next year from Broadway/Doubleday.
2-3 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
1 slice half orange
1 lemon twist
1 maraschino cherry
1 teaspoon superfine sugar or 2 tablespoons simple syrup
4 dashes Angostura bitters
1. In a double-rocks (old-fashioned) glass combine sugar and bitters. Add a couple of teaspoons of hot water, and stir together until sugar is dissolved. Add orange slice, and mull until well mixed. Fill glass with ice, and top with bourbon, stir well. Garnish with lemon peel, twisted to release oil, and cherry.
Yield: 1 serving.

James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell: Map
Wikipedia article:
Map showing all locations mentioned on Wikipedia article:
James Hepburn, 1st Duke of Orkney
(c. 1534 – 14 April 1578), better known by his inherited title as
4th Earl of Bothwell
, was Hereditary
Lord High Admiral of Scotland
. He is best known for his association with and subsequent marriage to
Mary, Queen of Scots
, as her third husband.
Early life
He was the son of the
Patrick Hepburn, 3rd Earl of Bothwell
Agnes Sinclair
(d.1572), daughter of
Henry Sinclair
3rd Lord Sinclair
, and was styled
Lord Hailes
from birth. He succeeded his father as
4th Earl of Bothwell
in 1556.
Admiral and Casanova
As Lord High Admiral of Scotland, Bothwell sailed around Europe. During a visit to Copenhagen around 1559, he fell in love with
Anna Tronds
, a Norwegian noblewoman whose father,
Kristoffer Trondson
(Rustung), a famous Norwegian admiral, was serving as Danish Royal Consul. After their engagement, Anna left with Bothwell, and in Flanders, he announced that he was out of money. He asked Anna to sell all her possessions, which she did, and she went to visit her family in Denmark to ask for more money. Anna's sister, Margaret, married
John Stuart, 4th Earl of Atholl
. Anna was unhappy and apparently given to complaining about Bothwell. Bothwell's treatment of Anna Rustung played a part in his downfall.
Queen Mary I
Bothwell appears to have met Queen Mary I when he visited the
Court in the autumn of 1560, after he left Anna Rustung in
He was kindly received by the Queen and her husband,
King Francis II
, and, as he himself put it: "The Queen recompensed me more liberally and honourably than I had deserved" — receiving 600 Crowns and the post and salary of gentleman of the French King's Chamber. He visited France again in the spring of 1561, and by 5 July was back in Paris for the third time — this time accompanied by the
Bishop of Orkney
and the
Earl of Eglinton
. By August, the widowed Queen was on her way back to Scotland in a French galley, some of the organisation dealt with by Bothwell in his naval capacity.
Bothwell appears to have been not much more than a troublesome noble at court following the Queen's return.
His open quarrel with the
Earl of Arran
and the Hamiltons, who accused him of intriguing against the Crown, caused some degree of anguish to the Queen, and although the Earl of Arran was eventually declared mad, Bothwell was nevertheless imprisoned in
Edinburgh Castle
without trial in 1562.
Later that year, while the Queen was in the
, he escaped.
Royal friendship
In February 1566, Bothwell married Lady
Jean Gordon, Countess of Bothwell
, daughter of
George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly
. Mary attended the wedding. The marriage lasted just over a year.
The Queen and Bothwell were by now very close.
Upon hearing that he had been seriously wounded and was likely to die, she rode all the way through the hills and forests of the Borders to be with him at
Hermitage Castle
only a few weeks after giving birth to her son.
However, historian
Antonia Fraser
asserts that Queen Mary was already on her way to visit Bothwell on matters of state, before she heard about his illness and that therefore this visit is not evidence they were already lovers at the time of his accident.
Darnley's murder
Bothwell and his wife divorced on the grounds of his alleged
with her servant, Bessie Crawford, on 7 May 1567, three months after the death of Mary's second husband,
Henry Stuart
, (better known under his childhood title of
Lord Darnley
). Bothwell was one of those accused of his murder.
Sir William Drury
reported to
Sir William Cecil
, Secretary of State to
Queen Elizabeth I
, that "the judgement of the people" was that Mary would marry Bothwell.
However, in the meantime the Stewart family, particularly his father, the
Earl of Lennox
, were agitating for vengeance and upon his petition, the Privy Council began proceedings against Bothwell on 12 April 1567. Drury reported that the Queen was in continuous ill-health "for the most part either melancholy or sickly".
On the appointed day Bothwell rode magnificently down the
, with the
Earl of Morton
Sir William Maitland of Lethington
flanking him, and his Hepburns trotting behind.
The trial lasted from noon till seven in the evening. Bothwell was acquitted.
The next Wednesday, the Queen rode to Parliament, with Bothwell carrying the Sceptre, where the proceedings of Bothwell's trial were officially declared to be just according to the law of the land. On Saturday 19 April no less than eight Bishops, nine Earls, and seven Lords of Parliament put their signatures to what became known as the Ainslie Bond, a manifesto declaring that Mary should marry a native-born subject, and handed it to Bothwell.
The Great Abduction
On Wednesday 24 April, while Mary was on the road from
Linlithgow Palace
to Edinburgh, Bothwell suddenly appeared with 800 men.
He assured her that danger awaited her in Edinburgh, and told her that he proposed to take her to his castle at
, out of harm's way.
She agreed to accompany him and arrived at Dunbar at midnight. Mary was taken prisoner by Bothwell and violently raped by him to secure marriage to her and the crown. On 12 May the Queen created him
Duke of Orkney
, and he married Mary in the Great Hall at
on 15 May 1567, eight days after his divorce was decreed. Within three days, Sir William Drury wrote to London that although the manner of things appeared to be forcible, it was known to be otherwise.
The marriage divided the country into two camps, and on 16 June, the Lords opposed to Mary and Bothwell signed a Bond denouncing them. A showdown between the two opposing sides followed at Carberry Hill on 15 June 1567, from which Bothwell fled, after one final embrace, never to be seen again by Mary. In December that year, Bothwell's titles and estates were forfeited by Act of Parliament for treason.
Anna's revenge
He escaped from Scotland and travelled to Scandinavia in the hope of raising an army to put Mary back on the throne. Unfortunately he was caught off the coast of Norway (then ruled by Denmark) without proper papers, and was escorted to the port of Bergen. This was the native home of
Anna Rustung
. Anna raised a complaint against Bothwell, which was enforced by her powerful family; her cousin Erik Rosenkrantz, a high-level official in Norway, remanded Bothwell to a local prison whilst Anna sued him for abandonment and return of her dowry. Reports of the court case are impressive, with Anna having been described as wearing a majestic red dress and impressive jewels. Anna must have had a soft spot in her heart for Bothwell, as he persuaded her to take custody of his ship, as compensation. Bothwell would have been released, but the King of Denmark, Frederick, had heard that the English crown were seeking Bothwell for the alleged murder of King Henry and decided to take him into custody in Denmark.
Later life
King Frederick II
of Denmark at first treated Bothwell with respect but later sent him to the notorious
Dragsholm Castle
, where he was held in what was said to be appalling conditions.
A pillar to which he was chained can still be seen, with a circular groove in the floor around the pillar where Bothwell purportedly remained for the last ten years of his life and where he died. His mummified body could supposedly be seen in Fårevejle, in the church near the castle, until a few decades ago. However, the identity of the body has never been conclusively proven.

This creation to fresh advancements in algebraic combinatorics illustrates how study in arithmetic really progresses. the writer recounts the dramatic look for and discovery of an evidence of a counting formulation conjectured within the overdue Nineteen Seventies: the variety of n x n alternating signal matrices, gadgets that generalize permutation matrices. whereas it was once obvious that the conjecture needs to be actual, the facts was once elusive. consequently, researchers turned attracted to this challenge and made connections to points of the invariant conception of Jacobi, Sylvester, Cayley, MacMahon, Schur, and younger; to walls and aircraft walls; to symmetric features; to hypergeometric and easy hypergeometric sequence; and, eventually, to the six-vertex version of statistical mechanics. This quantity is obtainable to an individual with an information of linear algebra, and it comprises wide workouts and Mathematica courses to assist facilitate own exploration. scholars will study what mathematicians really do in an engaging and new quarter of arithmetic, or even researchers in combinatorics will locate whatever distinctive inside Proofs and Confirmations.
