Connecticut-based Coordinated Transportation Solutions, whose contracts end this summer, already received about $2.6 million in extra payments in February and April.

Beginning in the cosmopolitan city of Toronto, why not extend your stay and fly out a few days earlier to fully explore this bustling city on the shores of Lake Ontario. Moving to the south, we find the majestic Niagara Peninsula, Canada's most important wine region and the home of ice wine. Made from hand-selected frozen Riesling & Vidal grapes, this really is a sweet, refreshing delight.
Sample reds and whites from the Niagara Escarpment and Niagara-on-the-Lake at revered vineyards in the region before crossing the border to the beautiful Finger Lakes. Here, we take in the fresh and zippy Rieslings the area is known for. From Syracuse Hancock International Airport, there are direct connections to all of the New York airports, so you can choose to stay longer if you wish.
North America's size means that every kind of climate and landscape can be found there. From sleepy, rural towns to vibrant cities that buzz with activity, the lifestyles and culture on this continent are diverse and extensive. Experience a little of both on our exciting tour.
What better way to enjoy ice wine than with a food-pairing session, where you learn how to match its explosive fruit flavours and high sweetness with what's on your plate. We also dine at wineries and restaurants alike, where menus change depending on what's in season from local farms.
Canada's often below-freezing temperatures mean that it's the perfect location for ice wine, and we sample this treat among the very vineyards that produce it. Enjoy biodynamic whites from the slopes of the Niagara Escarpment and try its renowned dry wines.
Today we arrive into the vibrant metropolis of Toronto. We transfer to our hotel in the city and then, in the evening, we will enjoy our very first group dinner together.
We check out after breakfast and depart Toronto, making our way to the village of Jordan on the Niagara Escarpment. Our first visit is to Hidden Bench, which is certified organic. Here, owner Harold Thiel makes excellent wine from his vineyards in the sought after Beamsville Bench sub appellation. Rich limestone soils and low yielding vines produce, among other wines, excellent Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay. We tour their vineyards before our tasting. Our lunchtime visit is at Domaine Queylus, where Canadian trained wine-maker Kelly Mason utilises her experience gained under Burgundian winemakers to produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. There is also an excellent Merlot and Cabernet Franc. We taste these wines over a simple lunch. After, we check into our hotel in the small village of Jordan, where dinner tonight is included at its restaurant and will be accompanied by the wines of Cave Springs. Founded by the Pennachetti family from Italy over 30 years ago, Cave Springs were the first to plant Riesling and Chardonnay in the Niagara area. Today, production is 80% white wine with Riesling accounting for more than half of this. We will enjoy these delicious wines over dinner tonight.
Our first visit is to Tawse, which is a family-owned winery situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment. Tawse has won the title of Canada's Winery of the Year multiple times. From a modest six acres in 2001, Tawse now has over 200 acres. Viticulture and wine-making here follow organic and biodynamic principles. We will enjoy an introduction to the estate followed by a tasting. Our lunchtime appointment today is at Westcott Vineyards. Grant Westcott and Carolyn Hurst founded Westcott in 2008, originally with the idea of selling grapes to other wineries. Inspired by the success of their neighbours and impressed by the quality of wine being produced, they took the plunge and produced their first vintage in 2012. This is a lovely, family-run winery producing excellent wines, which we will enjoy over lunch. Return to the hotel and enjoy an independent evening. Dinner is not included tonight so you are free to explore on your own or join the Wine Guide or Tour Manager at their choice of restaurant.
This morning, we check out after breakfast and depart the village of Jordan to visit an ice wine specialist. Some of the world's best ice wine comes from Canada; grapes are picked and pressed while still frozen, and a long, slow fermentation follows. The end result is an intensely sweet, lower alcohol wine. Lunch is at Trius Winery, which follows a farm to table philosophy and begin picking up awards after opening in 1989. Today, winemaker Craig McDonald makes a good range of wines, including some excellent sparkling wine – some of which we can taste over lunch. After, we check into our hotel in the small town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is situated on the shores of Lake Ontario.
We have a free morning for an optional visit to Niagara Falls. We depart late afternoon for a tasting at Stratus, housed in a stunning building in downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is a gravity flow state-of-the-art winery where sustainability and environmental considerations are held in high regard. In 2005, Stratus became the world's first LEED certified winery. There are small lots of Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Tannat, as well larger plantings of Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Dinner is included tonight at a local restaurant.
Our day begins with a journey across the border to the Finger Lakes region in New York state. We arrive at Ravines Wine Cellars for a late lunch, then continue along the shore of Lake Seneca to Watkins Glen and our hotel for the next three nights. We have dinner together, over which there will be an introduction to the fabulous wines of the Finger Lakes.
Our first visit is to pioneers Dr Frank Konstantin on Lake Keuka. Dr Frank Konstantin is credited with beginning the Vinifera Revolution, which changed the face of grape-growing in the Finger Lakes and laid the foundations for the modern Finger Lakes wine industry that we see today. We will enjoy hearing historical tales of the estate over a tasting of their excellent wines, among which is an excellent sparkling, some outstanding Rieslings and even the Georgian grape, Saperavi! Lunch will be a simple picnic before we head to our afternoon tasting, which is at another of Lake Keuka's excellent producers. The evening will be free to spend at leisure and we can return to our comfortable hotel at Watkins Glen.
Our first visit is to Hosmer. From humble beginnings with five acres of vines in 1973 on the slopes of Cayuga Lake, Hosmer now has over 70 acres. Its wine-making began back in 1985 and we hope to visit them this morning to hear their story as well as to taste their wines. Winemaker Julia Hoyle produces some excellent Rieslings, Cabernet Franc and Lemberge. After our tasting, we will have lunch at a nearby restaurant before returning to Watkins Glen where the rest of the afternoon and evening is free for you to relax. Maybe walk around the water or take a boat trip on Lake Seneca.
We check out today and travel to Syracuse Airport (USA), from where we begin our journey back to London. We will fly to London, arriving home on Tuesday morning. For those not taking our group flight, the tour will end at Syracuse Hancock International Airport.

Sushi, Viking Style
If you hear the same suggestion from a variety of different locals, it's smart to listen. And it seemed that everyone we talked with in Stykkishólmur recommended a boat trip of the islands around the bay. So we bought tickets, and discovered that the locals were right. The Viking Sushi Tour was one of the most entertaining excursions we had in Iceland.
Sea Urchin Roe in a Scallop Shell
A company called SeaTours runs the "Viking Sushi Tour" out of Stykkishólmur. The 90-minute boat ride promises bird-spotting, island-viewing and fine Viking-style dining.
As our boat neared the first island, Þórishólmur, I felt my stomach crawling up into my throat. Our vessel was huge, and we were approaching land way too quickly. I looked up at the captain to make sure that he was neither sleeping nor drunk, but he seemed in control. Turns out, Þórishólmur is a volcanic plug which sinks straight into the sea, so even large boats like ours are able to get very close. And we were near enough that I could have almost reached out and touched the rock.
Had I tried, my fingers might have been pecked off. The island's cliffs were packed with sea birds: guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins. We saw more puffins on this trip, and were closer to them, than on our tour out of Reykjavík.
The boat brought us by two other islands, one of which had a huge crevasse almost splitting it in two. A large rock was somehow wedged into the crevasse which, according to legend, was thrown by a troll woman from the mainland. Annoyed by the bells of the town church, she hurled a rock at it, but missed and hit the island instead. In an example of science following folklore, the rock has been studied, and did in fact come from the mountain on which the troll is said to have lived. Not just that, but the church would have been directly in the stone's path.
The stories and island-hopping were a lot of fun, but the best part of the tour came at the end, when the crew dropped a giant trawler into the ocean. Considering our proximity to shore, the water's depth was astounding; the trawler just kept sinking and sinking. Soon, it was raised and its contents dumped onto a large cleaning table. Greedily, we looked upon our bounty: an amazing number of scallops, crabs, starfish and sea urchins. And now, we would feast in a manner worthy of Vikings! (Well… effete Vikings who eat with chopsticks, sip on white wine and let the boat staff do all the work of cleaning and schucking.)
I had expected to feel revulsion while munching down raw scallops and (especially) sea urchin roe, but it was all surprisingly good! I suppose it really doesn't get any fresher, than straight from the freezing depths of the Northern Atlantic.
Stykkishólmur is an extremely picturesque town, with plenty to do and see, and the Viking Sushi Tour is a real highlight. Not to be missed.

The BDS movement, which also has an anti-American agenda, thrives on de-branding Israel as the Middle East's only free state and democracy. In short, BDS uses economic warfare in its effort to label Israel as a pariah state and to end its existence as the Jewish homeland.
There are several policies that a Trump administration can pursue to retard the growth of BDS. First, the U.S. Congress should submit the Combating BDS Act of 2016 for President Trump's signature. The bipartisan legislation would permit state and local governments to penalize companies participating in BDS by pulling taxpayer money from those businesses.
Second, Trump can join other world leaders, especially those from BDS ground-zero countries in Western Europe, and declare BDS an anti-Semitic movement that runs counter to all peace efforts. Moreover, lawmakers should push through Congress The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, introduced by Sens. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Bob Casey (D-PA). This legislation would give the U.S. Department of Education the statutory tools to examine anti-Semitic incidents in the broadest and most effective way possible. The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act mirror's the State Department's Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism definition of anti-Semitism that includes the critical language covering where anti-Israel conduct crosses the line into prejudice and discrimination.
The act will enhance the Department of Education's ability to identify, investigate, and punish all forms of anti-Semitism, including anti-Zionism and anti-Israel harassment.
Finally, U.S. ambassadors in countries where BDS is flourishing — countries such as Ireland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Belgium — should deliver speeches in those countries condemning the movement. Moreover, the ambassadors should advocate that the European Union replicate anti-BDS legislation. France's anti-discrimination statute — the Lellouche Law — has been invoked to stop BDS activism based on its discrimination against national origin. The Lellouche Law can serve as a model for Brussels.
The BDS movement has been incorrectly viewed as exclusively anti-Israel. Take one telling example, Code Pink, an allegedly pro-peace U.S. group that is a main actor in the BDS network. Code Pink supports many of America's principal enemies — the Islamic Republic of Iran and communist North Korea, just to name a couple.
There are clearly many unknowns regarding what the Trump administration will do. However, Donald Trump, speaking at last year's AIPAC Policy Conference, underscored that BDS is a real strategic threat.

text: Q: how many ways is there to factor matrix? There is one way which is the $A = LU$ composition form.  I know this is not unique way because take two matrices and multiply and you can get $A$.  For a number like $72$ it is factorizable into $8*9$ but also $36*2$ or $12*6$.  Is there similarly a finite number of different way to factor matrix $A$?  Or is there infinitely many ways?

YTL Hospitality REIT (YTL REIT) is presently the only REIT listed in Malaysia that invests specifically in hospitality assets. As at 30 June 2018, it owns a portfolio of 14 properties valued at RM4.31 billion.
In this article, I'll bring a detailed account of YTL REIT's developments since its listing, its financial performance, and its plans for future growth.
1. YTL REIT was originally listed as Starhill REIT (separate from Starhill Global REIT which is listed on the SGX) on 16 December 2005. At that time, it owned three properties in its seed portfolio: the JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Starhill Gallery, and parcels in Lot 10 Shopping Centre in Kuala Lumpur. In 2007, YTL REIT added part of the Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur Suite Wing to its portfolio, raising its number of properties to four.
2. In 2009, YTL decided to reshuffle its portfolios where YTL REIT became a pure-play hospitality REIT while Starhill Global REIT was established as a retail REIT. Thus, YTL REIT sold Starhill Gallery and Lot 10 Shopping Centre to Starhill Global REIT. With the sale proceeds, YTL REIT acquired a total of eight hotels in Malaysia and a hotel in Japan in 2011. Thereafter, YTL REIT acquired three hotels in Australia in 2012. With that, YTL REIT completed its portfolio reshuffling exercise and has been a pure-play hospitality REIT since.
3. From 2011 to 2017, YTL REIT owned nine hotel properties in Malaysia. They include JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur, the Ritz-Carlton Suite Wing, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Wing, Vistana Kuala Lumpur Titiwangsa, Vistana Penang Bukit Jambul, Vistana Kuantan City Centre, Cameron Highlands Resort, Pangkor Laut Resort, and Tanjong Jara Resort. These properties have contributed a steady RM95-100 million a year in gross revenue to YTL REIT.
4. In May 2017, YTL REIT acquired the Hotel Majestic Kuala Lumpur for RM380 million. The property is a five-star, 300-room hotel situated at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, Kuala Lumpur. The property is presently leased to YTL Majestic Hotel Sdn Bhd under a fixed lease agreement for a term of 15 years with an option for renewal for another 15 years. Annual rental income is RM17.6 million and the property started contributing to YTL's revenue in in Q2 2018, explaining the spike in revenue and net property income (NPI) for YTL REIT's malaysian portfolio for the year.
5. Hilton Niseko Village is a 16-storey, 506-room hotel located in Hokkaido, Japan. Presently, the hotel is leased to Niseko Village K.K. under a fixed lease agreement at RM15-16 million annually for a term of 15 years. Thus, the property has contributed stable income to YTL REIT over the last five years.
6. Since 2013, YTL REIT has owned three hotels in Australia: Sydney Harbour Marriott, Brisbane Marriott, and Melbourne Marriott. These hotels contribute variable income to YTL REIT — the amount of income derived is based on their performance unlike YTL's fixed lease agreements with its properties in Malaysia and Japan. Both Sydney Harbour Marriott and Melbourne Marriott have achieved stable and high occupancy rates of 85-90% over the past five years. Brisbane Marriott has improved its occupancy rate from 75.0% in 2014 to 85.1% in 2018. As such, the three hotels have contributed steady growth in both revenue and profit over the last five years.
7. YTL REIT has reported steady growth in revenue and distributable income over the last five years. Revenue increased from RM425.1 million in 2014 to RM501.0 million in 2018, which resulted in higher distributable income from RM117.1 million in 2014 to RM134.1 million in 2018. Despite the growth in distributable income, YTL REIT's distribution per unit (DPU) has hovered around eight sen throughout the five-year period. This is due to the increased number of units issued to finance acquisitions.
8. As at 30 June 2018, YTL REIT has RM1.69 billion in total borrowings and its gearing ratio is 37.5%. Presently, 57.2% of its total borrowings are denominated in Australian dollars, with the remainder in Malaysian ringgit. A strengthening of the Australian dollar against the ringgit would have a negative impact on YTL REIT as its reporting currency is in ringgit. 77% of total borrowings are at fixed interest rates with the rest on floating rates. Hence, YTL REIT is less likely to be affected by spikes in lending rates for the near future.
10. On 14 August 2018, YTL REIT entered into a conditional agreement to purchase Green Leaf Niseko Village for ¥6 billion (or RM222.5 million) from Niseko Village K.K., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of YTL REIT's sponsor, YTL Corporation Bhd. Upon completion of this acquisition, the property will be leased back to Niseko Village K.K. for a period of 30 years at a fixed step-up rent as shown below, with an option for renewal for another 30 years. This acquisition will add to YTL REIT's income stability moving forward.
Currency conversion based on current exchange rate of JPY100/RM3.7078.
11. Price-to-book ratio – YTL REIT's share price (as of 10 September 2018) is RM1.25 and its net asset value per unit (as at 30 June 2018) is RM1.595. Thus, its current price-to-book ratio is 0.784, which is close to its highest historical P/B ratio of 0.752.
12. Dividend yield – MITs DPU for financial year 2018 is 7.8683 sen. Based on MIT's share price of RM1.25 its gross dividend yield is 6.0% — which is near its lowest historical yield of 6.29%. As a retail investor, you also incur a 10% withholding tax on distributions from Malaysian REITs. Thus, your net dividend yield from YTL REIT would be 5.67% after withholding tax.
YTL REIT has delivered steady growth in revenue, NPI, distributable income over the last five years, and maintained a stable DPU of eight sen.
Moving forward, YTL REIT is likely to continue generating stable long-term income from its fixed lease agreements from 11 properties which comprised 52.5% of NPI in 2018. This proportion will increase after the proposed acquisition of Green Leaf Niseko Village.
Compared to other Malaysian REITs, YTL REIT inherently carries a greater amount of foreign currency risk as it derives 47.5% of its NPI from three hotels in Australia, and has 57.2% of its total borrowings in denominated in Australian dollars. A stronger Australian dollar would negatively impact YTL REIT's revenues, NPI, and interest costs.

When they make more money from poker than anything else.
Sounds terrible if you ask me.
I have not seen definition of poker pro but in my opinion it should be like every other thing which can be both hobby and profession. If your main income is from other source and you play poker for fun - it is a hobby. If poker is your main job and you earn most of your money from it you are pro poker player.
Learn to play with all types of people. Different, but they have all people much in common. You have to learn to read a look and even think of the rival. Many people always use the same strategy, the others - have no strategy at all. Only the few really well play and know that they do. You have to unmistakably be able to define character and level of professionalism of players with which you deal.
re: Poker & When is someone considered a professional poker player?
There's a few things. First your only source of income is from poker. Second, you have a home, car and possessions that you own outright(no credit debt). Third is you're ABLE to put money into retirement accounts or a stock portfolio to gain more capital in the future.
The program is a poker program in every move it makes, as well as the planning and task tools that other players play.
I think that when a player wins a lot of tournaments and wins in championships, you can say that he is a poker professional and he does not need another job other than poker so that poker brings him a good profit!
When their income come solely from playing poker,and have the ability to adhere to strict brm.
I would say being a poker pro means you derive most, if not all, of your income from playing the game.
But, like anything else in life, after a while, poker would just become what you do, as opposed to being something in life that is fun.
I've occasionally wondered if I would enjoy life as a poker pro, but its difficult to know without trying to make a living at it.
First off to each their own.
However, the things you mentioned are myths.
Setting your own hours? Nope, if you want to make money you need to play against people worse than you are. This means mostly weekends, and always at night.
Taking time off? I get 5 weeks a year at my job, it's more than enough.
Traveling to events... I do it all the time, no need to be a pro for that.
My point is that having a regular full time job is far better than trying to play poker for a living. In my opinion.
I suggest a full time job and poker as a second income.
Professional is a player who, due to his game, earns enough income to not work on other jobs, and not seek additional earnings.
Someone who is living the dream.
a professional is one who lives on what he does, so if you live poker, you are a professional.
I think its about how much time you spend playing rather than winnings.
I believe, that a professional player is the one who won several prestigious tournaments. A professional does not work on a regular job and earns a profit from playing poker.
Only when he lives on money earned only by poker.
I would think a person would be a professional if (1) they win more than they lose and (2) they willfully profit off of their skill.
looks to me that I have a long road to go yet. like all the point of view here.
To be a professional, my thoughts... Make more playing poker than any other sources. If you have a day job, I would say 51% or more of your income regularly from poker play then eventually giving up the day job. I would also think multiple years with more income from poker than anything else. Don't forget the commitment to run your game like a business, and invest in the "business" (bankroll), your "employee" (liferoll), taxes/insurance, and hopefully "bonuses" (save for a good tourney, ie. WSOP event).
As "fun" and lucrative as it sounds, I don't know if I want to be a cash grinder "working" 3pm Friday - 9pm Sunday, but the "vacations" while you travel a tournament circuit would seem enjoyable.
I believe when you can make a real living playing poker then you can call yourself a pro.
Starting from the point that your main income is poker related, your resources define your level of "professionalism." There will be moments of elegance which your peers will appreciate and which normal folk just won't register. The trick here is to have such moments over many years. My two cents.
They say that what makes you a professional poker player is the control of the bankroll .. since the professional players play because they live on that and the recreational players play to have a good time and if they win well and also.
In my opinion you can't consider yourself a pro unless you can support your life from playing .
When the majority of your income is derived from playing poker.
The study and the ability to improve are essential. The most advisable thing is to find the game discipline that suits us best. Patience is a more important virtue in tournaments with normal structures. Accept the bad spells. Learn correct banking management. I study outside the tables.

Home / News / Economy / Estee Lauder leaving NJ for Long Island, Pa.
By: The Associated Press January 30, 2013	Comments Off on Estee Lauder leaving NJ for Long Island, Pa.
The Estee Lauder Cos. has notified state officials it is moving its operation from northern New Jersey, resulting in 85 layoffs.
Instead of the 148,000-square-foot plant in Oakland, the company says it will fill and bottle fragrances at existing facilities in Melville or Bristol, Pa.
Thirty-one employees in New Jersey will be offered jobs at the other plants.
Estee Lauder issued a statement saying it considered staying in New Jersey. However, the company said the lease was due to expire and the opportunity to increase collaboration with other operations on Long Island made this the right time to move.
Oakland Mayor Linda Schwager tells The Record newspaper the loss of jobs will hurt employees, residents and taxpayers.

Who still not yet buy mpi,6.23 coming soon..faster buy as must you can!
We maintain BUY on Malaysian Pacific Industries (MPI) with an unchanged fair value of RM13.79/share. Our valuation is based on an unchanged CY19F PE of 14x. MPI's 1HFY19 core net profit of RM81mil (+5.2% YoY) came in within our forecast and consensus estimates, accounting for 53% and 52% respectively. We keep our earnings projection unchanged.
MPI registered a higher revenue for 1HFY19 at RM811.9mil (+3.7% YoY). Higher sales in Asia (+10.5% YoY) and Europe (+1.6% YoY) helped offset softer demand from the US (-14.1% YoY) which was likely affected by the US-China trade war. We attribute the stronger sales in Asia to the increasing demand for automotive-related jobs such as copper clip packaging and sensor packaging. Operationally, EBIT margin has improved 0.9ppt to 15.3% in 1HFY19 from 14.4% in the corresponding period, thanks to the portfolio rationalisation initiative which weeded out low-margin customers to focus its resources on higher margin businesses.
Moderating raw material prices coupled with a better product mix have played a part in improving operating margins. To a certain extent, we believe the company's digitalisation initiative to adopt Industrial 4.0 in its facility may be starting to show early contribution towards cost savings. Going forward, the company will continue to benefit from its exposure in the automotive segment which offers bright prospects, backed by rising global light vehicle sales and growth in semiconductor content per vehicle. Furthermore, MPI's strong net cash position opens up opportunities for the group to acquire new technologies, particularly in the automotive space.
This comes in line with the group's 5-year plan of achieving 50% of its revenue derived from the automotive segment. Currently, the automotive segment represents 30% of the group's total revenue. MPI is currently trading at a CY19F PE of 10.4x, below its 5-year average of 15x, while FY19F–FY21F dividend yield remains decent at 2%–3%.

Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramenthra Maha Mongkut Phra Chom Klao Chao Yu Hua (tailandês: พระบาทสมเด็จพระปรเมนทรมหามงกุฎ พระจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว; Banguecoque,  – Banguecoque, ), oficialmente Rama IV ou simplesmente Mongkut, foi o Rei do Sião de 1851 até sua morte.

Primeiros Anos
Mongkut era filho do então príncipe Isarasundhorn. Ele foi mais tarde se juntou o irmão príncipe Chutamani, que nasceu em 1808. Em 1809, seu pai foi coroado como Buddha Loetla Nabhalai. Mongkut tinha nove anos na época em que todos eles se mudaram para o Grande Palácio.

Vida monástica e seita Thammayut

Em 1824, aos 20 anos, Mongkut se tornou um monge budista, segundo a tradição siamesa (que os homens com 20 anos deve se tornar monges), com o nome de ordenação Vajirañāṇo. No entanto, no mesmo ano, seu pai Buda Loetla Nabhalai morreu. De acordo com as tradições seguidas, Mongkut deveria ser coroado o próximo rei. No entanto a nobreza colocou o influente príncipe Jessadabodindra, seu meio-irmão, no trono. Percebendo a situação era irremediável, Mongkut optou por ficar na sua condição monástica para evitar intrigas políticas.

Mongkut se tornou um dos membros da família real que dedicou sua vida à religião. Ele viajou por todo o país como um monge e viu a flexibilização das regras de Pali Canon entre os monges siameses - que ele considerava inadequado. Em 1829, em Phetchaburi, ele conheceu um monge chamado Buddhawangso que seguia rigorosamente os cânones. Vajirayan Buddhawangso ficou admirado com sua obediência ao cânone, e isso inspirou-o a prosseguir as suas reformas religiosas.

O monge, então, estabeleceu a Vajirayan Nikaya Thammayut ou seita Thammayut em 1833. A nova seita reforçou o direito canônico. A seita Thammayut ganhou reconhecimento real em 1902 pelo filho de Mongkut de Chulalongkorn (através dos Atos de politica Eclesiástica) e tornou-se uma das duas principais denominações budistas na Tailândia moderna. Em 1836, ele se tornou o primeiro abade do Wat Bowonniwet, que é patrocinado pela família real. Durante seu tempo como um monge, Bhikkhu Vajirañāṇo descobriu conhecimento ocidental, estudando Latim, Inglês, astronomia com os missionários e marinheiros.

O Rei Mongkut mais tarde seria conhecido pelo seu excelente conhecimento de Inglês, embora há quem diga que o seu irmão mais novo, Vice-Rei Pinklao, poderia fala-lo ainda melhor.

Reinado

Relatos variam sobre as intenções de Jessadabodindra a respeito da sucessão. É registrado que Jessadabodindra havia "demitido" verbalmente os príncipes reais da sucessão, por várias razões;o príncipe Mongkut foi demitido por incentivar os monges a se vestir no estilo seg.

Alguns disseram que, no entanto, Jessadabodindra desejava que o trono fosse passado para seu filho, o príncipe Annop, e que a este deu seu bracelete que havia sido transmitido de Buda Yodfa Chulaloke para o príncipe.

O Príncipe Mongkut foi efectivamente apoiado por um pró-britânico, Dis Bunnak, o Kalahom Samuha, ou o presidente do Departamento das Forças Armadas, os mais poderosos nobres do reinado de Rama III. Bunnak enviou seus homens para realizar a cerimônia deixando o estatuto de monge para o Príncipe Mongkut, mesmo antes da morte de Jessadabodindra. Com o apoio da nobreza poderosa, a ascensão Mongkut ao trono foi assegurada.

Após vinte e sete anos de peregrinação, o rei Mongkut ascendeu ao trono em 1851, aos 47 anos. Ele tomou o nome de Phra Chom Klao, embora os estrangeiros continuassem a chamá-lo de Rei Mongkut. O rei era conhecido entre os estrangeiros em particular alguns oficiais britânicos, como pró-britânico. Sir James Brooke, numa delegação britânica, ainda elogiou "o nosso próprio rei", e mostrou seu apoio a ele como novo rei do Sião.

Sua consciência da ameaça que representavam o poder imperial britânico e francês, levou-o a muitas atividades inovadoras. Ele ordenou a nobreza a vestir camisas enquanto estavam em sua corte, que foi para mostrar que Sião já não era mais bárbaro do ponto de vista ocidental.

Após a coroação, Mongkut se casou com sua primeira esposa, a rainha Somanat. No entanto, a rainha Somanat morreu no mesmo ano. Ele então se casou com sua meia-sobrinha-neta,Chao Rampoei Siriwongse, mais tarde Rainha Debsirindra.
