Poniżej znajduje się lista postaci cyklu Kroniki Amberu.

Amberyci

Benedykt
Benedykt – jeden z książąt Amberu. Benedykt jest wysoki, szczupły i surowy. Ma brązowe, proste włosy i piwne oczy. Nosi się w barwach pomarańczowej, żółtej i brązowej. Poświęcił życie sztuce wojennej i jest uznawany za najlepszego szermierza i taktyka. Benedykt jest synem Cymnei i Oberona. Jest najstarszym księciem Amberu, ale nie daje mu to pierwszeństwa do tronu. Ojciec jego bowiem unieważnił swoje małżeństwo z jego matką. Według Ilustrowanego przewodnika po zamku Amber Zelazny'ego i Randala Benedykt słynie z zamiłowania do wszystkiego co na związek z kulturą japońską z Ziemi. Przewodnik... podaje, że w stylu japońskim urządził swe apartamenty. Benedykt posiada też nietypowe jak na Amberytę poczucie odpowiedzialności za poddanych z Cieni w których włada. Poznajemy go po raz pierwszy jako protektora Avalonu, w drugim tomie Kronik. Z sobie tylko znanych powodów nie jest zainteresowany zdobyciem władzy w Amberze. Jest to jedna z najsilniejszych i najbardziej zrównoważonych postaci w Amberze. Prawnuczką Benedykta jest Dara. W czasie walki z piekielnymi amazonkami w Avalonie Benedykt miał romans z przywódczynią amazonek - Lintrą, jej córką była Dara i takie samo imię otrzymała jej prawnuczka.

Bleys
Bleys – syn Oberona i Clarissy. Jego barwy to czerwony i pomarańczowy. Herbem jest otwarta księga. Bleys, jak wszystkie dzieci Clarissy ma rude włosy. Nosi brodę. Bleys wraz z Fioną i Brandem zawiązali spisek celem przejęcia władzy w Amberze. Bleys miał zostać symbolicznym królem, natomiast rządzić miała cała trójka. Pojawił się jednak problem w postaci Branda, który nie chciał dzielić się władzą. Co więcej, zaczął on stanowić zagrożenie dla całego Wszechświata. Bleys wraz z Fioną zwrócił się wtedy przeciw Brandowi. Gdy Corwin postanowił walczyć z Erykiem, Bleys sprzymierzył się z Corwinem. W trakcie ataku na Amber spadł w przepaść. Corwin uratował go rzucając mu swoją talię kart, dzięki której Bleys mógł przenieść się w inne miejsce.

Brand
Brand – syn Clarissy i Oberona. Rudowłosy o zielonych oczach. Najczęściej nosi się w kolorach zieleni. Jego symbolem jest spadająca gwiazda. Używa miecza Werewindle, zwanego Klingą Dnia. Biegły w magii. W Twierdzy Czterech Światów przeszedł Rytuał Fontanny czyniący go tzw. żywym atutem tj. pozwalający na swobodne natychmiastowe przemieszczanie się w dowolne miejsce. Mimo tego, że jest księciem Amberu, zawiera tajny pakt z Dworcami Chaosu. Dąży do zniszczenia Wzorca i jego ponownego wyrysowania. Jeśli by mu się ten zamysł udał, zniszczyłby stary, a następnie stworzyłby nowy wszechświat, z sobą w roli głównej. Ginie zastrzelony z łuku przez Caine'a, lecz pociąga za sobą w przepaść również Deirdre.

Caine
Caine – jeden z książąt Amberu. Rodzony brat Juliana i Gerarda, syn Oberona i Rilgi. Caine ma ciemne włosy, brązowe oczy i opaloną karnację. Jego barwy to czerń i zieleń, a symbol – lecąca mewa, co świetnie oddaje jego naturę marynarza z zamiłowania i dowódcy floty Amberu. Jego ulubioną bronią są sztylety i włada nimi po mistrzowsku. Caine lubi używać życia. Jak każdego potomka Oberona cechowała go nieufność wobec wszystkich, ale też pełna lojalność wobec Amberu. Obiecuje Corwinowi pomoc w usunięciu samozwańczego króla Eryka, po czym zmienia zdanie i staje przeciwko niemu z całą swoją flotą. Po śmierci Eryka, Caine podejrzewa Corwina o działania na szkodę Amberu, postanawia więc skompromitować brata pozorując własną śmierć, w taki sposób, że głównym podejrzanym o zabójstwo staje się Corwin. "Ożywa" w decydującym momencie Wojny Skazy Wzorca, kiedy to zabija Branda. Za kilka lat jednak sam ginie w cieniu zwanym Deiga z ręki Rinalda syna Branda, który w ten sposób pomścił śmierć ojca.

Coral
Coral – nieślubna córka Oberona i Kinty - żony premiera Begmy. Wysoka o rudobrązowych włosach. Jeszcze w dzieciństwie poślubiona Rinaldo – ówczesnemu księciu Kashfy. Coral domyśla się jednak swego pochodzenia i postanawia przejść Wzorzec. Po udanym przejściu, gdy może przenieść się w dowolne miejsce, zwraca się do wzorca z prośbą o przeniesienie jej tam, gdzie on chce, co przysparza Merlinowi wielu kłopotów. Gdy Coral wraca do Amberu - dochodzi do starcia pomiędzy Wzorcem a Logrusem, w wyniku czego Coral traci oko. Dworkin dokonuje operacji i w miejsce straconego oka wstawia Klejnot Wszechmocy (Oko Węża). Aby nie dopuścić do zachwiania równowagi pomiędzy siłami Porządku i Chaosu - Coral wysłana zostaje do Kashfy, gdzie jest żoną Rinalda (który jest już królem). Siły Chaosu i Porządku dalej toczą o nią walkę, gdyż jej obecność w Dworcach Chaosu czy też w pobliżu Pierwotnego Wzorca prowadziłaby do przechylenia równowagi na jedną z walczących stron.

Corwin

Dalt
Dalt – Pochodzi z Eregonoru. Ma jasne włosy i jest potężnie zbudowany. Jest synem Oberona i Deeli Desacratrix. Nienawidzi swego ojca i jego królestwa. Powód tej nienawiści związany jest z historią rodzinną. Matka Dalta była wojowniczką i fanatyczką religijną odpowiedzialną za bezczeszczenie świątyń Jednorożca. Została pojmana i zgwałcona przez Oberona. Udało się jej uciec, ale okazało się, że jest w ciąży, a owocem gwałtu był właśnie Dalt. Odtąd próbował on pomścić krzywdę matki. Wraz z nią zaatakował Amber, jednakże atak był nieudany. Deela zginęła, a Dalt został ciężko ranny i przeżył jedynie z uwagi na typową dla potomków Oberona niezwykłą wytrzymałość. Dalt przyjaźni się z innym Amberytą skłóconym z rodziną królewską Amberu - Rinaldem.

Deirdre
Deirdre –  jedna z księżniczek Amberu. Jest córką Faielli i Oberona. Najczęściej nosi się w kolorach srebra i czerni. Ma niebieskie oczy i długie czarne włosy. Ukochana siostra Corwina. Piękna, potężna i łagodna. Lud Amberu traktował ją prawie jak boginię. Ginie razem z Brandem, pociągnięta przez niego w przepaść, na końcu tzw. Wojny Skazy Wzorca.

Dworkin
Dworkin – wywodzi się z rodu Barimen z Dworców Chaosu. Po zdobyciu niewiadomym sposobem Lewego Oka Węża (Klejnotu Wszechmocy), uciekł on w Cień, a następnie spotkał Jednorożca. Dzięki jej pomocy i używając Oka, narysował Pierwotny Wzorzec, dając początek Amberowi. Oberon, pierwszy król Amberu jest potomkiem Dworkina i Jednorożca. Przez wieki Dworkin przebywał na dworze Amberu jako doradca i nauczyciel mocy Atutów, często jednak wyruszał w podróże do nieznanych miejsc. Wśród jego uczniów wyróżnić można dzieci Oberona: Bleysa, Branda oraz Fionę. Gdy Wzorzec został uszkodzony, Dworkin popadł w szaleństwo i został uwięziony przez Oberona. Uwięzienie nie było jednak skuteczne, gdyż potrafił on uciec ze swej samotni.

Eryk
Eryk – jeden z książąt Amberu. Na Kartach Atutu przedstawiony jako przystojny brodacz o niebieskich oczach i czarnych, prawie granatowych włosach. Ubrany w skórzaną kurtkę, pelerynę, wysokie, czarne buty, rękawice i spięty rubinem czerwony pas, przy którym wisiał srebrzysty miecz. Kołnierz i rękawy były obszyte na czerwono. Jego herb to dwa skrzyżowane rapiery. Eryk jest synem Faielli i Oberona. Starszy brat Corwina i pierwszy w kolejce do tronu. Po zniknięciu Oberona zagarnia tron po zwycięskiej walce szermierczej z Corwinem, którego przenosi na Ziemię podczas Zarazy, zostawiając go tam by umarł.

Fiona
Fiona – córka Oberona i Clarissy. Niska, rudowłosa, zielonooka o jasnej cerze porównywanej do macicy perłowej. Ubiera się w zieleń, kolor lawendowy i purpurowy. Fiona zna się dobrze na magii podobnie jak jej bracia, Brand i Bleys. Fiona często zmienia sojusze. W walce o tron Amberu zawiązała sojusz z Bleysem i Brandem. Idea była taka by królem formalnie był Bleys, ale de facto rządziła cała trójka. Gdy okazało się, że ambicje Branda sięgają znacznie dalej i stanowią niebezpieczeństwo dla Wszechświata - doprowadziła do jego uwięzienia. Gdy nieświadome niczego rodzeństwo uwolniło Branda - usiłowała go zabić. Fionę interesuje utrzymanie równowagi pomiędzy siłami Amberu (Wzorcem) i Chaosu (Logrusem). Jest dobrze znana w Dworcach Chaosu. Jej wielbicielem jest Mandor.

Flora
Flora – córka Oberona i Dybele. Jej zainteresowania obracają się wokół władzy i seksu. Flora trzyma się blisko osób znajdujących się u władzy. Na polecenie Eryka pilnuje jego dotkniętego amnezją rywala Corwina, wygnanego na Ziemię. Popiera wszystkie działania Eryka. Gdy jednak Eryk ginie, a Corwin zostaje regentem, Flora wykazuje wobec niego pełną lojalność. Chętnie też pomaga jego synowi Merlinowi. Jest też znana z zamiłowania do snobizmu, oraz romansów z wybitnymi mężczyznami z różnych Cieni, w tym z Napoleonem, lordem Byronem i Mussolinim.

Gerad
Gerad – syn Oberona i Rilgi. Używa jako symbolu żaglowca. Odznacza się wyjątkową siłą fizyczną, lecz raczej całkiem przeciętną inteligencją i dużą łatwowiernością. Gerard raczej trzyma się z dala od rozgrywek o tron Amberu, jednakże gdy Amberowi grozi niebezpieczeństwo bez wahania stara się pomagać. To on pobił Corwina do nieprzytomności gdy zaczął podejrzewać go o intrygi przeciw rodzeństwu. On też (z pomocą innych) uwolnił Branda, a następnie chronił przed niebezpieczeństwem. Gdy Brand okazał się zdrajcą - bez wahania stanął przeciw niemu. Gerard jest dowódcą Floty Amberu.

Julian
Julian – syn Oberona i Rilgi. Julian ma długie czarne włosy i niebieskie oczy. Nosi białą emaliowaną zbroję. Jego wierzchowiec to Morgenstern. Julian w walce o tron Amberu zdecydowanie poparł Eryka. On też poradził Erykowi by ten zamiast zabijać Corwina kazał go oślepić. Gdy jednak Eryk ginie w walce z siłami Chaosu, a Corwin zostaje regentem, Julian jest mu lojalny. Gdy Jednorożec wybiera Randoma jako króla Amberu, Julian jako pierwszy składa mu hołd, choć obydwaj bracia wyraźnie się nie lubili.

Llewella
Llewella – córka Oberona i Moins. Ponieważ jej matka pochodzi z Rebmy, Llewella - jak wielu mieszkańców tej krainy ma zielone włosy i oczy oraz oliwkową karnację. Llewella nie ma zwyczaju brać udziału w rozgrywkach rodzinnych w Amberze. Często przebywa w ojczyźnie matki. Mimo spokojnego charakteru - Llewella naraziła się kiedyś Erykowi. Stało się tak dlatego, że ojciec obojga uznał ją oficjalnie za swoją córkę (była dzieckiem nieślubnym), a nie uczynił podobnego aktu wobec (również zrodzonego poza małżeństwem) Eryka.

Martin
Martin – nieślubny syn Randoma i Morganthe. Był owocem romansu Randoma z Morganthe, córką Moire z Rebmy. Jego matka popełniła samobójstwo wkrótce po urodzeniu go. Wychował się w królestwie babki, lecz gdy dorósł przeszedł Wzorzec w Rebmie i podróżował długo w Cieniu. Tam zaopiekował się nim Benedykt, przebywający w tym czasie w Avalonie. W czasie podroży próbował go zabić Brand, co doprowadziło do powstania Skazy Wzorca.

Merlin

Oberon

Random
Random – syn Oberona i Paulette. Herbem Randoma jest motyw perkusji, a kolorami pomarańczowy, czerwony i brązowy. Najmłodszy z braci, nieco lekkomyślny, lubi się dobrze zabawić, kocha muzykę jazzową, grę na perkusji i hazard. W królestwie Rebma poznaje Morganthe (córkę królowej Moire), wiąże się z nią, płodzi syna Martina, a następnie porzuca ją, doprowadzając do samobójstwa. Za karę zmuszony jest poślubić Vialle niewidomą dziewczynę z Rebmy. Ku zaskoczeniu wszystkich Random i Vialle zakochują się w sobie i stają się najwierniejszą parą małżeńską. Po śmierci Oberona Jednorożec przekazuje Klejnot Wszechmocy Randomowi - czyniąc go królem Amberu. Jako król Random znacznie się zmienia - staje się rozważny i odpowiedzialny.

Rinaldo
Rinaldo, bardziej znany jako Luke Reynard – wysoki rudowłosy młodzieniec "przystojny pomimo, a może z powodu artystycznie złamanego nosa". Kolorem Luke'a-Rinalda jest zieleń, a herbem - Feniks. Luke jest synem Branda i Jasry. Przeszedł Wzorzec w Tir na Nog'th. Po śmierci ojca w Wojnie Skazy Wzorca jest zdecydowany na zemstę nie tylko na Cainie – bezpośrednim sprawcy, ale też na wszystkich Amberytach. Przedostaje się na Ziemię, gdzie przebywa Merlin. Od matki otrzymuje zadanie zgładzenia Merlina, istotnie podejmuje takie próby w każdą rocznicę dnia, w którym otrzymał informację o śmierci ojca. Gdy jednak lepiej poznaje Merlina - zaprzyjaźnia się z nim i zaniechuje dokonywania zamachów. Dalej jednak pragnie zemścić się na reszcie rodziny królewskiej Amberu. Zabija Caina i rani Bleysa.

Chaosyci

Dara
Dara – wysoka, szczupła, nieco piegowata o brązowych krótkich włosach i ciemnych oczach. Biegła w szermierce. Jej symbolem jest koło, którego lewa połowa jest czarna, a prawa biała. Corwin ma z nią romans i owocem tego związku jest Merlin. Dara jest prawnuczką księcia Amberu Benedykta. Rodzice Dary należeli do znamienitych rodów w Dworcach Chaosu – ojciec pochodził z rodu Helgram, a matka z rodu Hendrake. Dara, w przeciwieństwie do większości swych przodków, ma postać w pełni ludzką, w czym przypomina pradziadka – Amberytę. Potrafi jednak (jak wszyscy Chaosyci) przybierać formę demoniczną. Natomiast podobnie jak Amberyci była w stanie przejść Wzorzec. Dara poślubia Gramble Sawalla, z którym ma dwójkę dzieci: Despila i Jurta. Wychowują się oni wspólnie z Merlinem, a ich przybranym bratem jest Mandor – syn Gramble Sawalla z pierwszego małżeństwa.

Jurt
Jurt – młodszy przyrodni brat Merlina i rodzony Despila. Syn Gramble Sawalla i Dary Hendrake. Stale rywalizuje z Merlinem. Zazdrości mu, gdyż sądzi, że to Merlin faworyzowany jest przez matkę. W czasie jednej z walk z Merlinem Jurt traci oko, kawałek ucha i palec. Sprzymierza się z Julią – dawną dziewczyną a teraz przeciwniczką Merlina. W Twierdzy Czterech Światów przechodzi przez tzw. "Rytuał Fontanny" i staje się "żywym atutem" tzn. może dowolnie przemieszczać się z miejsca na miejsce, bez pomocy kart tarota. Mimo zdobytych umiejętności Jurt czuje się niepewnie. W końcu postanawia pogodzić się z Merlinem.

Mandor
Mandor – jego ojcem jest Gramble Sawall z Dworców Chaosu, imię matki nie jest znane. Drugą żoną Gramble jest Dara. Jego przybranym bratem jest jej syn z pierwszego związku - Merlin, a braćmi przyrodnimi: Despil i Jurt. Lepszy kontakt ma on jednak z Merlinem, choć nie łączy ich biologiczne pokrewieństwo. Włosy Mandora są śnieżnobiałe. Kontrastują one z młodymi, choć nieco ostrymi rysami twarzy. Mandor nie jest może zbyt przystojny, ale ma duże powodzenie u kobiet. Mandor ubiera się w czerń, jedynie brzeg kołnierzyka i wystające mankiety są białe. Herbem Mandora są cztery pola szachownicy z pionkiem i koniem ustawionymi na białych polach. Mandor odznacza się wielką inteligencją i zamiłowaniem do wszelkich kalkulacji oraz intryg. Rozumuje w sposób makiawelistyczny. Jest wybitnym czarodziejem. Jego podstawowym narzędziem są trzy kule, które stanowić mogą groźną broń. Mandor kocha sztukę - w tym sztukę kulinarną. Przy przyrządzaniu potraw również posługuje się magią.

Ty'iga
Ty'iga – bezcielesny demon. Demony te żyją na granicach Otchłani. Mają zdolność brania w posiadanie cudzego ciała. Człowiek ogarnięty przez ty'igę nic nie pamięta, z tego co robił, w czasie gdy "gościł" demona. Gdy ty'ga opuszcza gospodarza, ma on takie wrażenie, jakby budził się z letargu. W Kronikach poznajemy jednego demona tego typu, która jest płci żeńskiej, choć może zamieszkiwać ciała ludzi obojga płci. Ty'iga została zobowiązana przez Darę do chronienia jej syna Merlina, gdy ten udał się na Ziemię. Nie miała jednak prawa wyjawić Merlinowi celu swej misji. Ponieważ na Cieniu-Ziemi było dwóch Amberytów (Merlin i Luke) - ty'iga początkowo nie wiedziała kogo chronić i chroniła obu. Aby to robić wcieliła się w Gail Lampron i była dziewczyną Luke'a. Tym sposobem była zapewne jedynym demonem, który ukończył Berkeley University.

Inne postaci

Jasra
Jasra – pochodzi z Cienia położonego w pobliżu Dworców Chaosu. Piękna, rudowłosa, posiada zęby jadowe. Żona Branda, matka Rinalda. Jest czarodziejką i dawną uczennicą Dary. Jest adeptką tak zwanej Drogi Pękniętego Wzorca. Dużą część życia spędziła w Kashfie. Została żoną króla Kashfy Menillana. Później wraz z dowódcą straży pałacowej Jasrickiem (dawnym kochankiem Flory) doprowadziła do obalenia męża i ogłosiła się królową. Poślubiła Jasricka. Później skazała go na śmierć za prawdziwą lub domniemaną zdradę. Swego kolejnego męża – Branda poznała przy okazji jakiegoś czarodziejskiego eksperymentu. Brand nie chciał jednak zostać królem Kashfy, choć był prawdopodobnie jedynym z jej towarzyszy życia, którego chętnie widziałaby na tronie. Z Brandem miała swe jedyne dziecko – syna Rinalda, którego postępowaniem zawsze pragnęła kierować i złościło ją, gdy nie działał po jej myśli. Po śmierci męża Jasra pragnęła zemsty na członkach królewskiego rodu Amberu.

Julia Barnes
Julia Barnes – była dziewczyna Merlina. Julia wykazuje zainteresowanie czarami i okultyzmem. Merlin znajduje jej ciało rozszarpane przez bestię przybyłą z Cienia. Okazuje się jednak, że śmierć została upozorowana, a Julia opanowała Twierdzę Czterech Światów.

Moire
Moire – władczyni podwodnego miasta Rebmy. Ma włosy koloru szmaragdu przetykane srebrem i ogromne oczy koloru nefrytu. Opis ukazuje ją ubraną w niebieskie, łuskowe spodnie ze srebrnym paskiem. Atrybutem władzy jest berło z różowego korala. Lubi biżuterię: na czole nosiła obręcz z białego złota, na szyi naszyjnik z szafirem, a na każdym palcu u ręki miała pierścień z kamieniem w innym odcieniu błękitu. Moire miała córkę Morganthe, którą uwiódł Random. W miesiąc po tym Morganthe powróciła do Rebmy, będąc w ciąży. Urodziła syna o imieniu Martin. W kilka miesięcy po porodzie popełnia samobójstwo. Z tego powodu Moire nienawidziła Randoma, toteż ukarała go przymuszając do małżeństwa z niewidomą kobietą o imieniu Vialle.

Nayda
Nayda - córka Orkuza, premiera Begmy i jego żony Kinty. Siostra przyrodnia Coral. Opisana jako niewysoka brunetka, nieco tęga. Naydę poznajemy, gdy wraz ze swoim ojcem (jako jego sekretarz) oraz siostrą przybywa do Amberu. Dowiadujemy się, że przeszła ona ciężką chorobę, ale już wyzdrowiała, jednakże później okazuje się, że prawdziwa Nayda zmarła, w jej ciele natomiast zamieszkała ty'iga. Najbliższe otoczenie dziewczyny jednak niczego się nie domyślało.

Vialle
Vialle – pochodzi z podwodnego królestwa Rebmy. Drobna, niska brunetka. Niewidoma od urodzenia. Jest zdolną rzeźbiarką. Wykazuje też pewne zdolności empatyczne. Jako niewidoma, Vialle miała nikłe szanse na małżeństwo. Królowa Moire znalazła jednak dla niej męża. Był to Random z Amberu. Poślubienie Randoma miało być dla niej sposobem na awans społeczny, a dla niego karą. Moire nie wierzyła w trwałość tego związku, zezwoliła więc, by małżonkowie rozstali się po roku. Tymczasem Random i Vialle niespodziewanie zakochali się. Vialle podąża za Randomem do Amberu, choć początkowo położenie jej jest trudne, gdyż Random jest uwięziony za próbę zamachu na Eryku. Po Wojnie Skazy Wzorca Random zostaje królem, a Vialle królową. Jest ona jedną z niewielu osób w Amberze, które nie mają żadnych wrogów. Inaczej niż większość Amberytów bardzo ceni życie ludzkie. To za jej pośrednictwem udało się przerwać łańcuch vendetty zapoczątkowany przez śmierć Branda.

Why the late 1960s were the golden age of dive watches – and how they've influenced the new C65 Trident Automatic
C65 Trident AutomaticDive watches
Goldfinger, the 1964 James Bond film starring Sean Connery, is the ultimate watch-lovers movie. It's got the lot: Connery at his brooding best; an Aston Martin DB5 that not only looks the business but also has an ejector seat; and of course, 007's Rolex Submariner (Ref: 6358), attached to a textile NATO strap.
Not only does this watch look great with Bond's white tuxedo, but it also signifies something else: the impact of technological advancements on watch design.
If the period between the 1930-1950s is the golden age of dress timepieces, so the late '60s are the apex of 'tool' watches. These are watches designed, not only to tell the time, but to use it as an instrument of measurement, whether at the track or under the waves. Mike France, co-founder of Christopher Ward, explains.
"Many of the most iconic watches from major brands were at their best in the 1960s," says Mike. "These include the Breitling Navitimer in 40mm. Enicar's dual-crown Sherpa model, the Yachtingraf from Yema, and Tag's stunning Autavia. This is the time when sport watches shined."
Add this functionality to the boundary-breaking ethos in art, fashion and music of the period, and you're looking at a range of watches that are not only highly technical, but laden with era-defining design touches (like multicoloured hands; wide or square cases). These take the wearer back to the days of Steve McQueen, Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol.
This trend hasn't gone unnoticed at 1 Park Street, home of Christopher Ward. The first sign that designer Adrian Buchman was looking to the early '60s for inspiration was the C65 Trident Diver, a hand-wound retro piece that's been a hit since it was released.
Now a new model has launched: a diving watch with design touches and construction cues from from the late 1960s. It's called the C65 Trident Automatic.
"Dive watches of this era allowed the development of scuba diving for the masses," says Mike France. "They weren't as technically advanced as today's watches, but set previously unheard-of standards of water-resistance. Another innovation was the Super Compressor case, manufactured by EPSA, which became more water-resistant the further down it went."
While engineering innovations improved performance, the complications used on these watches were relatively simple. For divers, the most important tool was the countdown function of the external or internal bezel, alongside the improved legibility that came with improvements in dial design and luminosity.
The designer of the Christopher Ward's C65 Trident Automatic is Adrian Buchmann. Too young to remember the late 1960s, he nevertheless studied the icons of the era to come up with a watch that immediately recalls classics from Rolex, Omega and Blancpain.
"The Sub is, of course, an iconic design, and few dive watches – even famous ones like Omega's Seamaster – escape its influence," Adrian says. "But we also enjoyed taking this route because people like our vintage lume so much, and we wanted to give them more of it."
One noticeable difference between the Automatic and Diver are the dots which take the place of the bars on the latter, something that softens and lightens the look, increasing its legibility. And while the dots reference classic divers, this is very much its own watch.
"Obvious design elements as Rolex's triangle at 12 o'clock have been avoided," says Adrian. "We've taken an iconic design and refined it in a very Christopher Ward way, one that makes it a little more dressy and less sporty. It's at home in any situation."
So whether you're planning to spend the summer exploring the shipwrecks of the West Indies or just sipping a cold beer as you watch the waves lap against the sand, the C65 Trident Automatic will ensure you're never shaken. Though perhaps occasionally stirred.

A New Era in Immigration? Part 1
Join us for the first of a 3-part webinar series on immigration law and policy changes following the inauguration of President Biden.
The Biden administration has committed to end the Remain in Mexico program, which has forced asylum seekers to wait indefinitely for their US asylum proceedings in dangerous conditions in Mexico. Other policies that effectively blockade the border to asylum seekers may also finally be abandoned. In addition, there is a strong push for President Biden to end an immigration system that has seen widespread detention of asylum seekers, families and children, and other migrants, often in facilities run by for-profit prison companies. This panel will explore not only a possible end to exclusionary policies but also a new vision that would emphasize humane processing of asylum seekers arriving at the U.S. southern border. The panelists will consider public health, legal and policy questions that will arise during the transition away from an enforcement-focused approach.
This event is sponsored by the Immigration Clinic, the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law , and the St. Edward's University Social Work Program.
REGISTER for Part 1: Ending detention and border policies that exclude asylum seekers on March 3 at noon here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/138441266555
REGISTER for Part 2: A Promise of Permanency? Legislative reform, temporary protections and lingering interior enforcement on March 24 at noon here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/139283517751

Q: Finding a sequence that has at least 3 partial limits. This was a question on a real analysis final exam.
Define a sequence $ a_n $ such that $ \lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\big(a_na_{n+1}) = 1 $, and has at least three partial limits.
In fact, there was a different wording for this:
Prove/disprove that all sequences $a_n$ that satisfy $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\big(a_na_{n+1}) = 1 $, have at most 2 partial limits.
I had no idea how to approach that problem, and the solution is not intuitive (for me, I guess).

A: $a_{n+1}$ is determined from $a_n$ (at least asymptotically), since $\lim(a_n a_{n+1}) = 1$. In other words, $a_{n+1} = 1/a_n$ asymptotically. If $\lim_{n\, odd}a_n = x$ it must be that $\lim_{n\, even} = 1/x$. Assume by contradiction that you have (more than) 3 different partial limits. Do you see the issue / contradiction?

Every time I make this dish, and I make it lots, I'm surprised by it — surprised by how much I enjoy the process of making it, of stuffing halved peppers with a little bread-crumb mix, some herbs and as many small tomatoes as I can fit into them; surprised by how beautiful the dish is as I'm assembling it and again after it's softened and charred in the oven; and surprised by how all kinds of people love it.
The first layer of bread-crumb stuffing packs bright flavors: anchovies, lemons, herbs and seasonings. The top layer's got the sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes. Be generous with the herbs — before you put the peppers in their baking pan, slick it with olive oil and shower it with a mix of herbs and slices of garlic. I like to have thyme in the bouquet, rosemary too, but parsley, basil and mint are all good players here as well. You may or may not have oil left over for dunking or remoistening the peppers, but that's not the point — this oil-and-herb landscape seasons the bottoms of the peppers and adds another layer of aromatics to the dish.
Since the recipe multiplies easily and endlessly, and because it is good at any temperature, but best, I think, at room temperature, mark it as a party dish.
Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Put a deep-dish nine and a half-inch pie pan (or similar-size baking dish) on a baking sheet lined with Gefen Easy Baking Parchment or a silicone baking mat. Spread a tablespoon or two of the oil over the bottom and sides of the pan, then scatter over the garlic slices, half of the herb sprigs and half of the basil and season with salt and pepper.
Stir the bread crumbs and anchovies together in a small bowl. Grate the zest of the lemon over and squeeze in the juice from half of the lemon (about one tablespoon; precision isn't important here). Cut six thin slices from the other half of the lemon, then cut the slices in half; set aside. (If any lemon remains, squeeze the juice from it over the bread crumbs.) Stir in one tablespoon oil and season the crumbs with the piment d'Espelette or cayenne. Taste to see if you want some salt (anchovies are salty, so the seasoning might be just fine).
Bake the peppers for about one hour (check at the 45-minute mark), until they're as soft as you'd like them to be — poke the side of one with the tip of a paring knife to judge. The juices and oil should be bubbling and the peppers charred here and there. Remove and discard the herbs from the top of the peppers.
You can serve the peppers straight from the oven, warm or at room temperature. If you'd like, drizzle them with a bit more oil, top them with a little ricotta (adding a dollop of ricotta is particularly nice if you're serving the dish warm as a starter) and sprinkle with chives or other herbs.
Piment d'Espelette: Espelette is a village in the Basque region of France famous for its red chile peppers — after harvest, almost every house in the area hangs peppers out to dry in the sun. Once dried, the peppers are finely ground. Cayenne is a good substitute.
Working ahead: You can prep the peppers a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator; let them sit at room temperature while you preheat the oven. You can also roast them a few hours ahead and keep them covered at room temperature. Storing: I think the peppers are best the day they're made, but if you have leftovers, refrigerate them — they'll be soft but still tasty a day later.

The mention of Japan always seems to invoke the same response in uninitiated travelers - "But, isn't it expensive?" No, no and no again. Japan is often, unfairly, pegged as a budget-busting destination - a reputation that could be discouraging for frugal wanderers.
For a corner of Japan less worn on the map than the manicured gardens of Nara or the bustling temples of Kyoto, take a trip to Usuki on the east coast of Kyushu. Just outside of this small castle town, groups of ancient stone Buddhas sit suspended in line, fashioned into hillsides of soft rock formed thousands of years ago from the eruption of nearby Mount Aso.

Q: Overly aggressive value label collision detection in d3 I am working on some collision detection for value labels in a d3 chart. This is my collision detection algo:
  isOverlap: (firstRect, secondRect) ->

    # Position of bottom-left coordinate of current rect
    x1 = firstRect.left
    y1 = firstRect.top

    # Position of top-right coordinate of current rect
    x2 = firstRect.right
    y2 = firstRect.bottom

    # Position of bottom-left coordinate of second rect
    x3 = secondRect.left
    y3 = secondRect.top

    # Position of top-right coordinate of second rect
    x4 = secondRect.right
    y4 = secondRect.bottom

    # Basic collision detection algorithm comparing two coordinates of the first
    # rectangle to the two coordinates of the second rectangle
    # Check this for full explanation: http://stackoverflow.com/a/32088787/1913389
    #         _________________  x2, y2
    #        |                 |
    #        |                 |
    #        |                 |
    #        |                 |
    # x1, y1 |_________________|

    !(x3 > x2 || y3 > y2 || x1 > x4 || y1 > y4)

Right now I have two dilemmas.
Delimma #1:
One graph isn't as aggressive in its value label collision detection:

As you can see, value labels that are too close overlap because in my code, I remove the point that causes collision, so there is no more comparison between that node and another. This is the code:
  removeOverlappingLabelText: ->
    valueLabelPositions = []
    d3.selectAll('.value-labels text')[0].forEach (t) =>
      currentRect = t.getBoundingClientRect()

      for previousRect, indexOfRect in valueLabelPositions
        isRemoved = false
        if @isOverlap(currentRect, previousRect)
          t.remove()
          isRemoved = true
          valueLabelPositions.splice(indexOfRect, 1)
          break

      if !isRemoved
        valueLabelPositions.push(currentRect)

Dilemma #2
The second graph is too aggressive, as it compares inexistent points that shouldn't be compared again, and it hides too much:

Here is the code:
  removeOverlappingLabelText: ->
    valueLabelPositions = []
    d3.selectAll('.value-labels text')[0].forEach (t) =>
      currentRect = t.getBoundingClientRect()

      for previousRect, indexOfRect in valueLabelPositions
        isRemoved = false
        if @isOverlap(currentRect, previousRect)
          t.remove()
          isRemoved = true
          valueLabelPositions.splice(indexOfRect, 1)
          break

      valueLabelPositions.push(currentRect)

For dilemma #1, that issue happens because we don't add the currentRect if it overlaps with a previous rectangle. And so, if the next currentRect collides with the previous currectRect, it wouldn't know.
The issue with dilemma #2, we add all rectangles to the array, even if the rectangle doesn't collide with visible rectangles. So the code interprets that there is a collision with non-visible rectangles.
I'm not really sure what to do, and would love some help - thanks!


Interim Phillips 66 Splash Club head coach Ben Harlow had just one word to say about his team's showing at last weekend's state Age Group Championship meet.
''What a fantastic showing by the Splash Club," Harlow said. ''We finished in third place, with over 3,000 points, which was not very far behind Swim Tulsa, but well ahead of Jenks, who finished fourth."
More than 75 percent of the Splash Club team — 48 swimmers — qualified for the meet.
Brother and sister Thomas and Haley Downey earned one of the meet's most prestigious honors — high point distance swimmer.
Thomas captured the award for the boys 17-19 group, while Haley harvested it in the girls 15-16 age group.
Splash Club stalwart Maddie Faria brought home the high point award for the crowed 11-12 girls age group.
Other Splash Clubbers in the top three in high points in their respective age groups included Bobby Sachau (2nd), Haley Downey (2nd), Mason McCauley (3rd), Ashton Ernest (3rd) and Sydney Perry (3rd).
Several team records also fell.
Faria set new Splash Club standards in the 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke, 50 butterfly, 100 butterfly and 100 individual medley, for the girls 11-12 age group.
Ernest made a new mark in the girls 10-and-under division for the 500 freestyle. She mashed the former record by more than 12 seconds, while improving on her own previous best time by more than 30 seconds.
Kate Steward also established a new club best in the 100 breaststroke for the girls 13-14 age group.
Greta Olsen turned in the club's second-ever fastest time in the girls 13-14 100 butterfly; Perry achieved the second-ever best mark in the girls 11-12 50 breaststroke.
Faria and Haley Downey were the lone Splash Clubbers with multiple individual championships.
Faria captured seven individual gold medal honors, while Downey won two events.
The Splash Club also excelled in the relay events.
The girls 11-12 foursome of Faria, Perry, Hollis Gilbert and June Harris seized the championship in two relays; Perry, Faria, Gilbert and Julia Fodor rocketed to the top spot in the other relay.
The quartet of Olsen, Steward, Abigail Barriga and Allison Biddinger combined skills to win the girls 13-14 200 freestyle relay.
The Splash Club team of McCauley, Thomas Downey, Kyle Ward and Aaron Stanek powered to supremacy in the boys 15-19 200 freestyle relay.
The Splash Club is in its 64th year of continued existence, reportedly the longest running, corporate-sponsored swim team in the country.
Ken Treadway started up the program in 1950, under the direction of then-Phillips 66 recreation director Bud Browning.
Harlow, who has been a Splash Club assistant for more than a decade, assumed earlier this year the interim head coaching responsibilities.
Phillips 66 is now searching for a new head coach.

Stars Unite to Improve U.S.-Cuba Relations
Sean Penn and Danny Glover are two of the artists who sent a letter to the U.S. president calling for free exchange between artists
Actors Sean Penn and Danny Glover, among many other artists, scholars and performers, sent a letter to U.S. President Bush on Tuesday in the hopes of eliminating travel restrictions on U.S. and Cuban artists, as reported by the newspaper Daily News.
"We are writing you as representatives of the cultural sphere in the U.S. We write you as American citizens. We write to express our dismay at your administration's continuing hostility towards Cuba," the letter said.
The document was inspired by a letter written by famous Cuban dancer and UNESCO goodwill ambassador, Alicia Alonso. "Let us work together so that Cuban artists and writers can take their talent to the United States," she expressed.
Since the 1959 Cuban revolution, the relationship between the island country and the United States has been tense. A strict economic embargo enacted in 1962 against Cuba is still in effect today.

America's feeble Indo-Pacific strategy
by Brahma Chellaney
Online: Nov 14, 2019
HANOI – With the global geopolitical center of gravity shifting toward Asia, a pluralistic, rules-based Indo-Pacific order is more important than ever, including for America's own global standing. So it was good news when, two years ago, U.S. President Donald Trump began touting a vision of a "free and open" Indo-Pacific, characterized by unimpeded trade flows, freedom of navigation, and respect for the rule of law, national sovereignty and existing borders. Yet, far from realizing this vision, the United States has allowed Chinese expansionism in Asia to continue virtually unimpeded. This failure could not be more consequential.
As with former U.S. President Barack Obama's pivot to Asia, the Trump administration's concept of a free and open Indo-Pacific hasn't been translated into a clear policy approach with any real strategic heft. On the contrary, the U.S. has continued to stand by while China has broken rules and conventions to expand its control over strategic territories, especially the South China Sea, where it has built and militarized artificial islands. China has redrawn the geopolitical map in that critical maritime trade corridor without incurring any international costs.
To be sure, the U.S. has often expressed concern about China's activities, including its ongoing interference in Vietnam's oil and gas activities within that country's own exclusive economic zone. More concretely, the U.S. has stepped up its freedom-of-navigation operations in the South China Sea, and engaged with the region's three largest democracies — Australia, India and Japan — to hold "quadrilateral consultations" on achieving a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific. Though the Quad has no intention of forming a military grouping, it offers a promising platform for strategic maritime cooperation and coordination, especially now that its consultations have been elevated to the foreign minister level.
Yet there is no guarantee the Quad will fulfill that promise. While the grouping has defined vague objectives — such as ensuring, as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has put it, that "China retains only its proper place in the world" — it has offered little indication of how it plans to get there.
America's wider Indo-Pacific strategy has the same problem. The Trump administration wants to build a rules-based and democracy-led regional order but seems to have no idea how. And instead of trying to figure that out, it has placed strategic issues on the back burner — for example, it downgraded its participation in the recent Asia-Pacific summits in Bangkok — while focusing on bilateral trade deals.
Not surprisingly, this approach has done nothing to curb China's territorial revisionism, let alone other damaging Chinese policies, including its appalling violations of the human rights of the Uighur ethnic group in Xinjiang. The Chinese government has reportedly detained more than a million Muslims, mostly Uighurs, in so-called re-education camps — the largest mass incarceration on religious grounds since World War II.
Although a bipartisan U.S. commission recommended sanctions over these internment camps last year, the Trump administration only recently imposed export and visa restrictions on camp-linked entities and officials, respectively. China expressed anger at the decision, insisting that its actions in Xinjiang are intended to "eradicate the breeding soil of extremism and terrorism." It is unlikely to be deterred by the relatively restrained U.S. measures.
The Trump administration has also shown caution in its implementation of the U.S. Taiwan Travel Act and the U.S. Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act, both of which were enacted last year. Bipartisan legislation intended to support the people of Hong Kong, who have been protesting China's increasingly blatant violations of their rights under the "one country, two systems" regime for months, is likely to face a similar fate.
China has vowed to retaliate if the U.S. enacts the new laws, including one that would require the secretary of state to certify each year whether Hong Kong is "sufficiently autonomous" to justify its special trading status. More broadly, Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned that anyone "attempting to split China" will end up with "crushed bodies and shattered bones," and "any external forces backing such attempts" will be "deemed by the Chinese people as pipe-dreaming."
That mentality — reinforced by years of breaking rules with impunity — will not be changed by economic measures alone. Yet economic levers remain Trump's weapon of choice. While U.S. sanctions and tariffs have exacerbated China's economic slowdown, thereby undermining its ability to fund its expanding global footprint, real progress will also require strategic maneuvers. These would send a clear message to both China and America's regional allies.
Such a message is crucial because even the Quad members that were supposed to serve as the pillars of a free and open Indo-Pacific have lately been hedging their bets on the U.S.
Japan — whose prime minister, Shinzo Abe, originated the concept — has quietly dropped the term "strategy" from its policy vision for the Indo-Pacific. Australia has forged a comprehensive strategic partnership with China. And Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently hosted Xi in Chennai.
The longer the U.S. fails to act as a convincing counterweight to China, the more strategic space Xi will have to pursue his neo-imperialist agenda, and the less likely he will be to submit to U.S. pressure, economic or otherwise. To prevent this, the U.S. must provide strategic weight to its Indo-Pacific policy, including by establishing a clear plan for resisting China's efforts to alter the status quo in the South China Sea. If the U.S. oil company ExxonMobil exits Vietnam's largest gas project, as seems likely, this will become even more urgent, given China's interest in shutting extra-regional energy firms out of the South China Sea.
Trump once described Obama's South China Sea strategy as "impotent." But today, it is Trump's approach to Chinese expansionism that looks weak. As China's aggression continues to increase, that impotence will become only more apparent — and more damaging.

Georgia's Landlord and Tenant Laws on Maximum Late Fees
By: Lainie Petersen
The State Laws on Landlords Breaking a Lease in Texas
••• i_frontier/iStock/Getty Images
How to Write an Eviction Notice With Non-Payment
Renter or Tenant Rights in Iowa
California Law: Rent Late Fee
There is no law in Georgia that caps late rent fees. Landlords are free to charge reasonable late fees as long as the terms are included in the lease or rental agreement.
Late Fees in Georgia
Georgia's landlord-tenant law doesn't address late fees, allowing landlords to make their own decisions. The lack of regulation also means that there isn't a limit on the amount a landlord can charge, though Marcia Stewart at Nolo.com states that "under general legal principles," a landlord can't require tenants to pay an "unreasonable" late fee. Stewart offers some general principles:
The landlord shouldn't start charging a late fee immediately after the rent is due. Stewart suggests landlords allow at least three days to pass before tacking on a late fee.
Late fees generally should be limited to less than five percent of the rent payment, unless the rent is very late.
Stewart's suggestions aren't Georgia-specific, however, so tenants who believe that their landlord's late fees are excessive may have to go to court to resolve the matter. Some Georgia courts support mediation programs that allow landlord and tenant to work out disagreements without having to go before a judge.
If there is no mention of a late fee in the lease or rental agreement, a landlord can't require a tenant to pay one. Landlords who want to charge late fees should make sure that their leases clearly state that late rent payments will incur additional charges. The lease also should include the fee amount.
Defining "Late" and Grace Periods
Rent is due on the day specified in the lease. Many landlords set the due date as the first of the month, but tenants and landlords can negotiate another date according to their preferences. Some leases specify a due date but don't require payment if that date falls on a weekend or holiday. Instead, the tenant has until the next business day to pay his rent.
While the law doesn't require it, some landlords offer a grace period between the rent due date and when they charge a late fee. The lease should specify whether the landlord offers a grace period and how long it is. According to the Georgia Landlord Tenant Handbook, a landlord can establish a grace period unintentionally if he consistently accepts late rent payments and doesn't charge a late fee.

How are schools responding to JUUL and the youth e-cigarette epidemic?
Jan. 18, 2019 3 min read
What are schools doing to address the use of JUUL, the most popular e-cigarette in the country?
JUUL, which accounted for 76 percent of the e-cigarette market at the end of 2018, is driving an epidemic of e-cigarette use among young people. Data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey show current e-cigarette use among high schoolers reached more than 20 percent in 2018, a 78 percent increase in one year. Its popularity among young people continues to grow, with one Truth Initiative estimate suggesting eight times as many 15- to 17-year-olds tried JUUL in October 2018, compared with August 2017.
To find out how familiar schools are with the surge in e-cigarette use and how they are responding, Truth Initiative researchers surveyed more than 1,500 teachers and administrators of middle and high schools across the U.S.
Do teachers and administrators know about JUUL?
Despite rising teen use, less than half (47 percent) of high school and middle school teachers and administrators recognized a photo of a JUUL device. More than one-third (35 percent) mistook it for a USB drive, pencil lead container or other object, and 18 percent could not identify the device at all.
While more recognized a JUUL flavor pod (65 percent) and the JUUL name (68 percent), just 40 percent of middle and high school staff correctly identified the device, flavor pods, and reported they had heard of a product called JUUL.
After researchers explained what JUUL was, less than half of school staff members reported that they had seen or heard of students using the product, which is not surprising given its easily-concealed design. In total, 48 percent of high school staff reported that they had observed or heard of students using JUUL in the bathroom, and 40 percent had seen or heard of students using it behind or beside the building or in the parking lot (39 percent). Rates were lower in middle school, but still alarming, with 32 percent of middle school staff reporting seeing or hearing of students using JUUL in the bathroom and 24 percent using it behind or beside the building.
Despite their somewhat limited familiarity with JUUL and its use in their school, the overwhelming majority of school staff reported concern about e-cigarettes. More than 80 percent of teachers and administrators reported that they were somewhat or very concerned about e-cigarette use by students at school. Concern was slightly higher among high school staff (88 percent) than middle school staff (77 percent).
Keeping JUUL out of school
More than 40 percent of all teachers and administrators reported that their school uses camera surveillance near the school's restroom, almost half (46 percent) reported camera surveillance elsewhere in the school, and 23 percent reported using assigned teachers for restroom surveillance. Nine percent reported removing restroom doors to prevent JUUL use. Most school staff (83 percent) also reported that their school had adopted a formal policy explicitly prohibiting e-cigarette use, with nearly half of those policies (44 percent) specifically naming JUUL.
While surveyed staff expressed concern about e-cigarettes, more than one-third (34 percent) reported no formal communication from the school to students' parents about e-cigarette use at school. Just over 40 percent reported that their school sent a letter or email home, and less than a third reported phone calls (28 percent), one-on-one meetings (22 percent) and PTA/town hall meetings (22 percent) as forms of communication with parents.
Many of the middle and high school teachers and administrators surveyed also displayed a lack of knowledge about the relative harms and addictive properties of e-cigarettes, including JUUL. Most respondents believed e-cigarettes to be equally or more harmful (82 percent) and equally or more addictive (90 percent) as cigarettes, while 18 percent perceived e-cigarettes as less harmful than cigarettes and 10 percent believed e-cigarettes were less addictive than cigarettes. Although e-cigarettes may not be as harmful as combustible cigarettes to adult smokers, their nicotine content — particularly that of JUUL — can make them extremely addictive.
Nicotine is unquestionably harmful to developing brains: younger users are more likely to become addicted, have more difficulty quitting and may be at higher risk for addiction to other substances in the future. Yet more than 60 percent of young adult JUUL users are unaware that the product always contains nicotine, according to a previous Truth Initiative study.
Truth Initiative has repeatedly called for action to address the youth e-cigarette epidemic, including urging the Food and Drug Administration to restrict marketing practices that attract youth, end online sales, eliminate the panoply of youth-appealing flavors and fully regulate these products by requiring manufacturers to submit evidence that they benefit public health.

Treeline Launches Vegan Goat Cheese, Along With 5 Other Cashew Cheeses

The vegan cheese world is growing at an unprecedented rate as companies are steadily releasing dairy-free cheese products in new varieties. Plant-based cheese brand Treeline just announced a new selection of cashew-based cheeses that include shreds, slices, spreads, and an all-new, highly-anticipated vegan goat cheese. The plant-based company will become one of the first brands to widely distribute a completely vegan goat cheese alternative.
Treeline launched its initial selection of French-style dairy-free cheese in 2011, becoming one of the first companies to experiment with vegan variations of artisan cheeses. The cheesemaker set out to develop cheeses fit for cheese boards and wine pairings while maintaining a sustainable and affordable company model. With the new plant-based goat cheeses, Treeline continues to drive innovation within the vegan cheese sector. The new goat cheese line will include several flavors including Original, Garlic Basil, and Blueberry. The company claims it managed to replicate the creamy, rich consistency that conventional goat cheese provides.
To produce the new goat cheese product, Treeline developed a culturing process that allows for this cashew-based cheese spread to take on the complicated flavors similar to goat cheese. The company reapplies old artisanal goat-cheese making techniques to this plant-based recipe, giving the new vegan product the same tanginess that consumers desire.
Alongside the innovative goat cheese product, the vegan cheese brand will also release its first shredded and sliced cheeses. The two styles will come in several flavors such as American (slices), Cheddar (slices and shreds), Mozzarella (shreds), and Pepper Jack (slices). The company announced that its new vegan cheese would hold the same texture, taste, and melting ability as traditional cheeses, making it a perfect substitute for pizza, nachos, grilled cheeses, and more.
The new slices and shreds source protein-rich cultured cashews from Brazil to create the creamy, delicious vegan alternative. The cashews are ground into a cream then fermented to produce a complex flavor reminiscent of traditional cheese production. Treeline also boasts that its plant-based cheeses contain a high amount of antioxidants because it uses high oleic sunflower oil. The brand aims to provide consumers with a delicious and health-centric cheese alternative.
Treeline will begin selling the new plant-based cheese products this November through its website. The company predicts that it will launch the new goat cheeses, shreds, and slices across retailers by Spring 2022.
The company's experienced an extremely successful year, expanding across several retailers and pushing its research and development to perfect a wide array of cheese alternatives. Earlier this year, the company began distributing its French-style cheeses at 220 Target locations in the United States. Before that, the company's products reached more than 3,000 retailers including Wegmans, Ralphs, Whole Foods, Kroger, and more.
Founded by Michael Schwarz in 2011, Treeline opened to fill the vegan artisan cheese space, which up until that point remained relatively untouched. Now, the company supplies Soft French-Style Cheeses in Creamy Scallion, Herb Garlic, Sea Salt & Pepper, and Chiptole Serrano Pepper alongside its most recent release. Treeline also offers several cream cheeses in Plain, Strawberry, and Chive & Onion flavors. For charcuterie, the company also develop a harder Aged Artisanal Wheel cheese line.
"At Treeline we stick to what we know: making delicious plant-based cheeses that support human health and the environment," Treeline writes on its website. "We chose cashews as the base for our cheeses for their delicious taste, creamy consistency, and health benefits."
