Bitcoin, as a currency should ultimately become easier to adopt to if its volatility problems could be solved. Recently, CNET CEO Hasley Minor announced his idea to launch Bitreserve, which will act as a Bitcoin wallet service. According to Minor, Bitreserve will be able to suppress volatility in the price movement by enabling it be easily accessible and introducing features like fixed exchange rates, which will allow users to lock in their deposits. This will additionally allow money transfers at cheap, reliable rates, which could help Bitcoin finally achieve mainstream status.
When looking at the daily chart BTC/USD formed a strong base around the $372 level but continues to trade with a negative bias, as there seems to be no semblance in buying interest at current levels. Additionally, the BTC/USD continues to trade below its 100 day moving average at $489 with resistance remaining near the $408 level.
The stochastic oscillator for the BTC/USD has given a clear reversal signal from the overbought zone, which is shows a shift in momentum towards the sell side. Furthermore, the relative strength index has formed a lower-high, which apart from being a bearish sign also shows a clear lack of buying interest. Analysts now believe that the current sideways correction in the stock will continue and more selling pressure may be witnessed if the BTC/USD breaks below its all-important support zone at $358.

Fireball Island, One of the Coolest '80s Board Games, Is Getting a Reboot
Germain Lussier
If you had the board game Fireball Island in the '80s, odds are you never forgot it. Not just because it was a wild game that let you race marbles around and knock out opposing players, but because the box and board were so ridiculously massive. That original game was shelved by Milton Bradley long ago but, as of today, it's making a comeback.
Restoration Games just put up a Kickstarter for a new, more compact but still action-packed version of Fireball Island—and in less than a day, it's already blown past its $250,000 goal. That means it's actually going to get released. Here's the company's Kickstarter video.
And here are a few photos and GIFs of a prototype version of the new board, which looks simply awesome.
The video gives a good overview—but basically, the best part of the original game was putting a marble in the mouth of Vul-Kar and watching it roll down the board, randomly wreaking havoc on other players. The rest of the game was kinda simple, but that part was amazing. All of that original action is included here but now it sounds like things are a little more strategic. It seems like a worthy upgrade.
The Kickstarter is at this link and is hitting new stretch goals hour by hour, which is exciting. The aim is to have this new version of Fireball Island in homes by November.

My boys are turning a big ONE in 8 days so thought I better start cracking with their main cakes to freeze now, so they are all ready to defrost and start decorating the day before the party.
Today I thought I'd tackle their 'main cakes'. I want them to be huge and impressive, and 'healthy' so each cake will consist of 4 layers alternating with the Magic Bean Cake and Sweet Potato Caramel Mudcake (= 8 cakes!).
I doubled each batch of this recipe then distributed between 2 x 20cm cake tins and baked 2 at a time. I can still smell the whiff of red kidney beans up my nose, but by the end of mixing it up it's just like a good old chocolate cake!
If you don't have a Thermomix you could make this up with a food processor and hand held/electric beater. The first part of the recipe is to blitz the red kidney beans mixture and set aside to add later. the rest of the recipe is just like a normal cake recipe with beating the eggs, sugar etc.
I did not use coffee in this, just water, since it'll be eaten by kids.
This recipe is very specific with the temperatures to cook the sweet potato/caramel mixture), so I made one at a time, making 2 before putting 2 in the oven at the same time. After cooking the sweet potato, the recipe indicates to blitz twice and scrape down. I got lazy on my last 2 cakes and didn't do this, but it looked pretty much the same when I was pouring it in the tins, but I'll have to wait for the boys birthday party to see if the taste/texture is ok!
1. Place lemons and eggshells in bowl and blitz 5 seconds/Speed 7.
2. Pour water to cover blade.
3. Set – 30 minutes/60 degrees/Speed 1.
Result = Sparkly brand new bowl!
The day before the party, I plan to defrost the cakes first thing in the morning (takes a few hours), then start decorating.
With 8 cakes made before midday with all my mummy duties, I just loooove my Thermomix!!!!!!

Mirko Sevic
I was born in Velika Kladusa, Bosnia and Hercegovina. At the age of ten I have received an art award from famous painters Krsto Hegedusic and Ivan Generalic. Later, after graduating from a Law school I started my return to painting by developing specific technique of expression. Since 1989 I have started my professional artistic career with an intention to show and share my work.
My work has been included into a list of the best artists of the Art of the 20th Century at http://www.all-art.org/ in Neo Surrealism category.
My art works can be found in the art book by Otto Rapp, VISIONARY ART YEARBOOK 2010 – 2011.
For the last 20 years I have been exhibiting extensively locally and internationally. In 2011 I have received an Award at the 8th International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy.
Some of my recent exhibitions: a participation in the 8th International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy; Gallery Topusko, Topusko, Croacia; Pasionska bastina Museum, Mimara , Zagreb, Croacia; Mall Galleries, London, UK; and a Solo exhibitioin, Artifact Gallery, New York, USA.
I live at the area of ex- Yugoslavia, and all the tragic events before and during the War had wounded my soul. Through my images and my drawings I am trying to send the message that we have lost the border line between humanity and ferocity. With each of my drawings I send a message and warnings to the World that if we continue to go on this path this is where we are going to end. I am a painter of the darkness with a ray of light.
Irretrievably, I immersed into the darkest corners of spiritual destructiveness of a human being in a hope to describe it. Humbleness of those who suffer has captured my sensibility. I resist it; I search for a way to escape. My works are messages with no response. They are just a scream and I am not sure that anyone can hear it.

Q: MongoDB find the specific matches from using $in I'm using MongoDB and $in to find some related documents that share 'tags'.
For example:
      Items.find({tags : { $in : ['one','two','three']}}, function(err, docs) {
        console.log(docs);
      });

I want to find out though specifically which of the values from $in actually caused a match (was it one? two?)  Is there a way in Mongo to do this?
Thanks!

A: There is neither a possibility in mongodb nor the nodejs driver to get this information. Mongo is just returning the database entries without any additional data.
You have to iterate through your docs and their tags via ['one','two','three'] to get this.
Sorry.

A: If you are on mongo 2.2 and higher, the aggregation framework could help you
db.items.aggregate([
  {$match: { tags: { $in: ['one', 'two', 'three']}}},
  {$unwind: '$tags'},
  {$group: { _id: '$tags', sum: { '$sum': 1 }}}
])

which will give you a result where there will be a count of records for each of "one", "two" and "three"

Penn State joins amicus brief in support of international students
Penn State joined 58 other colleges and universities in an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit by Harvard and MIT to block new rules by the Trump administration that would keep international students from remaining in the U.S. if they were enrolled exclusively in online courses this fall.Image: Penn State
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State, along with 58 other colleges and universities across the country, filed an amicus brief today (July 13) in support of a lawsuit by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology to block a Trump administration policy prohibiting international students from remaining in the U.S. while enrolling exclusively in online courses.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Student Exchange Visitor Program announced on July 6 that international students taking a fully remote course load during the fall 2020 semester could not legally stay in the country.
Penn State President Eric Barron denounced the rule change, and pledged the University's support for international students. Penn State joined the Association of American Universities, the American Council on Education, the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities and other institutions of higher education in calling for the immediate revocation of the new rules.

just goes to show you that hooters is the only place to be safe. we should all bundle up our families and live in hooters.
wow the town seriously needs to get a grip at least they were OFF DUTY I mean. With one suspended and the other one afraid to work alone... it sounds like the town was going to go unprotected anyway. At least the squad was together so if someone needed to find them they knew where to look.

Shane Crawley's progress has not gone unnoticed within racing circles in the last year or so, and Sassy Diva's high-profile Dublin Racing Festival success, in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Paddy Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle will bring more attention.
Crawley is just 26 but has his licence five years. He only went training because the majority of the foals produced by his father John's small band of broodmares were fillies that could not be moved on.
Astutely, the Dublin approached Pamela Carberry, wife of the late legendary jockey and trainer Tommy, about renting her yard and he is now training his select band of seven horses from the same facility in which Bobbyjo won an Aintree Grand National.
A homebred, Cashelard Lady provided him with his first winner in a Wexford bumper in October 2015. She won again that year and is now in foal to Mount Nelson.
Sassy Diva is another homebred that runs in Shane's colours but four of his charges are now provided by outside owners. The Kalanisi eight-year-old has also been victorious in Ayr this term as well and her trainer's return of four wins from 22 runners is his best to date.
The likelihood is that Sassy Diva will join the Crawley broodmare contingent sometime in the future, but it is clear that she has some good days left to come on the track before then.
The impact the Dublin Racing Festival had in its inaugural season in 2018 is best illustrated by the fact that English-based trainer Warren Greatrex pinpointed the €73,750 first prize on offer in the Grade One Flogas Novice Chase as the prime target of the season for his brilliant mare La Bague Au Roi.
The attraction of earning a significant chunk of the €1.8m in prizemoney on offer was an obvious attraction and Greatrex would not be frightened off by the likely firepower possessed by the home team.
Greatrex has campaigned his star bravely all year, persistently taking on the geldings and beating them. She was already a Grade One winner over fences prior to being saddled for action at Leopardstown and with Richard Johnson on board, made it a pillar-to-post victory over Kaiser Black, who ran a stunning race for point-to-point handler Pat Doyle and his son Jack, who has been riding successfully in America for a number of years.
Just how important the win and day was to the Lambourn handler was evidenced by his admission that he had never been as nervous before a race – this from a man who has enjoyed multiple Cheltenham Festival success, including triumphing in the 2016 World Hurdle with Cole Harden.
He also suggested that more of his colleagues would make the journey in the coming years, such was the place the Festival was already establishing in the calendar.
Qamino was a popular winner of the Goffs Handicap Chase on Saturday, a late withering run after jumping the last in fourth helping him deny Dakota Moirette by half a length on the line.
It was a well-timed effort by jockey Bryan Cooper and more than ample compensation, with €51,625 going to owners Manverton Limited, having been denied by a head in the dying strides in Naas at the beginning of January.
This was the 16th win of the season for Paul Nolan, who has enjoyed a welcome resurgence in fortunes in the past 18 months. This tally is already his best since the 2014-2015 campaign and with the form his string is in at the moment, his target of 20 is within reach.
Like so many trainers, Nolan was a victim of the economic downturn but along with his brother and right-hand man James, has slowly rebuilt his stocks thanks to loyal owners. A multiple Grade One- and Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer, and a one-time All-Ireland-winning hurler with his native Wexford, the 50-year-old will forever be remembered for his handling of Voler La Vedette, Joncol, Noble Prince, Shinrock Paddy, Cloone River and Accordion Etoile among others.
Qamino has been wonderfully consistent this season and having just turned six, should have more progress in the tank. Discorama is another quality resident of Toberona Stables and was a very unlucky faller at the last when upsides eventual winner Ballyward in graded company at Naas recently. Fitzhenry is a good money-spinner and Chisholm Trail has been victorious twice.
Recording a Dublin Racing Festival winner confirms the Nolan renaissance.
This was the 16th win of the season for Paul Nolan, who has enjoyed a welcome resurgence in fortunes in the past 18 months.

The frequency of dividend payouts matter, especially if you want to reïnvest on a regular base.
Time has shown over and over again that regular investing neutralises the big drops and highs in the market.
But if you have been following the Super Snowball investment strategy for some time you already know how we leverage the momentum of dividend cashflow.
Having monthly dividend payers in our portfolio gives us way more flexibility to write options at expiration dates of our choosing.
Here you can find the complete list of US and Canadian Stocks that pay monthly dividends AND if they have options listed on them.
Little note: There are some closed-end funds listed on the stock market that also pay monthly dividends, I will be listing them in a separate post.

February 4, 2019//-Ghana made a bright start to their campaign at the 2019 CAF U20 Cup of Nations by beating Burkina Faso 2-0 in their rescheduled Group B opener on Monday.
WAFA striker Daniel Lometey scored all two goals in Maradi coupled with some good goalkeeping from Belgium-based Manaf Nurudeen.
The Black Satellites profited from some sloppy defending by the young Stallions to score the pair of goals in Maradi.
Lomotey won the physical battle against centre back Kone inside the box and lobbed the ball over goalkeeper Traore for the opening goal just on the nick of half time.
In the 77th minute, the burly striker used his strength to bully Kone inside the Burkina Faso area to lift it above and over the goalkeeper.
Ghana will play joint leaders Senegal on Wednesday and will book an early 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup qualification ticket if they win.

Uniform approach
Outsourcing has a bad name – a way of cutting labour costs by employing people in India and China (over three million US jobs will be lost to this trend by 2015). But there's also a growing move for nations to outsource everything from their military to postal services that, properly harnessed, could raise standards and redefine what makes a country. This is who we would employ.
Jonathan Raban, Raúl Abreu Lastra and Ferruccio de Bortoli tell Monocle who they would like to hear less about next year.
A very civil service
From the ancient Greeks onwards, wise governments have seen the benefits of outsourcing. But what would a modern state look like if it put all of its ministries out to tender, employing the best foreign governments and private companies to run them? This is *Monocle*'s cabinet reshuffle.
Five alive
Which territories and nations are due their turn in the international spotlight? Monocle reveals five areas – from an EU island nation to a sprawling South American state – that will be in the headlines for all the right reasons over the coming year.
Global forecasting requires an expert view, so we called on four leading thinkers for a considered analysis of the future: Michael Axworthy, former head of the Iran section at the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, looks at how the diplomatic turmoil surrounding that country might play out; Michael Shifter, vice-president for policy at the Inter-American Dialogue, foresees a Latin America free from US dependence; Malcolm Cook, programme director for the Asia Pacific region at the Lowy Institute, outlines the dilemmas China will face as it embraces superpower status; and Peter Reid, vice-president for communications at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, predicts a more liberal approach to foreign relations in a future Clinton White House.
Shaking it up
Are you familiar with all of these leaders? Monocle profiles three whose influence will continue to grow and grooms two necessary leaders of its own.
Colin Bradford, Simon Anholt, Paula Scher and Ilkka Kanerva on 2008.
Iron in zion
They cost just €70 to make, but Hezbollah rockets have forced some Israeli towns to be abandoned. So Israel is building Iron Dome, an anti-missile shield. If it works, it could change the pace of diplomacy in the region and beyond.
Surin Pitsuwan, Hanna Anbar and Mark Leonard give their views.
From making life a misery for passengers at airports to making war with their neighbours, Monocle takes a look at the organisations, countries and people who are destined to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2008.
Up for adoption
In Germany home-owners can generate power and sell it to the national grid. Genoa runs an inspiring van-share scheme that's cutting congestion and in Estonia they have adopted a simple fiscal reform that's kept the economy booming. Ministers and mayors hoping for re-election in 2008 should study these public policy initiatives with care.
Shop flawless
In a world of disposable fashion and bad service, there are some stores that do get it right, and are seeing their profits boom. We profile five retail giants that should act as benchmarks for other floundering businesses.
If you're entering 2008 with a handsome bonus, a generous inheritance or a fat payoff, *Monocle* has identified 10 business opportunities worthy of investment. A mixture of fresh ideas and proven concepts ready for other markets, our suggestions will appeal to everyone from the small-change armchair investor to the adventurous investment bank.
Taking account
*Monocle* asked three influential economists for their predictions for 2008: Christian Gattiker-Ericsson, head of equity and strategy research at Bank Julius Baer, sees more pressure for economies reliant on ageing workforces; Brian Redican of Macquarie Bank recommends working with China, rather than against it; and Lars Seier Christensen, co-CEO of Denmark's Saxo Bank, believes SWFs will shift the world's economic balance in favour of Asia.
Techno tradition
Kyoto is the traditional home of Japanese artisans who make highly detailed ceramics and perfectly woven silks. That same set of skills has also helped it become the country's hi-tech heartland.
Arte & Craft
The future of television is pin-sharp, pitch-perfect and high-definition. As broad-casters struggle to brush up their sets, soap stars and news anchors to shine under HD's critical spotlight, the new technology is also set to force a welcome return to old-fashioned craft in TV. We paid a visit to one of the world's most polished channels that has never let its standards drop, to learn the art behind Arte TV.
Art corps
Looking forward to 2008, we asked five creative contenders to peer into their cultural crystal balls and explain what they see. From a web guru with designs for life to an established art collector going out on a wing in Beijing via one of next year's most electrifying musical talents, *Monocle* tips the talent that tells the future of entertainment and the arts, and how we'll be enjoying both.
Austria is reinvigorating its brand and stealing some of Switzerland's reputation for being the home of Alpine modernity and great healthcare. Nowhere epitomises the trend more than the Lanserhof.
Our design talents to watch for 2008 and beyond run the gamut from the creators of a new regional jet to the designer of great office-cum-daywear. All seem united by a passion for simple, pared-down good looks.
Victor La Fleur's unique approach to sourcing brands from across the world has enabled him to build a miniature clothing empire in his home town of Verbania – and to predict what is going to sell in 2008.
Roots finder
Provenance is set to become key as we turn our backs on products made at dodgy factories in who-knows-where. Consumers want authenticity and, as many companies have found, they're happy to pay for it.
Natural by design
Those wishing to follow the growing global trend for simple, ecologically sound living could have no better example than Professor Yoshifumi Nakamura and his weekend haven, tucked away in the hills of Japan's Nagano region.
Amanda phones, Tretorn shoes, Leica cameras, iPod Touch, must-have books and magazines, plus wooden skis - our holiday gift guide has it all.
Time is everything
Japan may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of the best traditional mechanical watches, but the Grand Seiko series, relaunched in 1998, has found a loyal following in Asia.
Nimmanhaemin
Around 700km north of Bangkok, Chiang Mai is Thailand's second largest city, and its increasingly metropolitan air is acting as a magnet for those in the creative industries. The neighbourhood of Nimmanhaemin, in the north-west of the city, is particularly attractive for its plethora of galleries, shops and cafés.

CNN's man in Baghdad, Michael Ware is one of few western journalists to have reported from insurgent camps. An avid rugby fan, we met him in Paris where he was covering the World Cup. He selects the touristy Thai restaurant Asian for his last meal.
A perfect day: How often do you sit and plot what your perfect day would look and feel like? Do you try to imagine what sounds will wake you? Conjure up what smells will pull you out of bed? Do you think about what would improve the way you cross towns, country and continents? I do it all the time.
King for a day
Less than four years after joining the European Union, and having adopted the euro just under a year ago, Slovenia will take on the rotating EU presidency in the first half of 2008. It is a massive challenge for a country of just two million inhabitants. But, as *Monocle* finds out, Slovenia's prime minister, Janez Janša, believes his country is equal to the task.
Future for sale / Global
At exit 7 of Euljiro Ipgu station, dull subway strip lighting gives way to a warm, golden glow. The change in ambience marks the threshold of Korea's most famous shopping mecca: Lotte Department Store.
More than 100,000 shoppers step through the glass swing doors every day to peruse 13 floors of retail heaven before leaving with white and gold paper carrier bags. The bustling store bears little sign of the company's humble origins 40 years ago when Shin Kyuk-ho opened Charlotte Buff, a chewing gum confectioners romantically named after Goethe's muse.
Since then, the company has grown exponentially to become a powerhouse in modern-day Korea. Today, few aspects of Korean life are untouched by Lotte – from pharmaceuticals and supermarkets to baseball teams and hotels.
The company has over 40 per cent of Korea's department-store market share, with 23 branches, including 13 in Seoul, and its first international outlet opened in Moscow in September. But the jewel in the crown remains Lotte Department Store.
"There are a number of reasons why people shop at Lotte but one is exceptional service," says Sun-Dae Lee, the PR general manager. "We have always emphasised the importance of good service, in which our staff are fully trained."
The flagship Lotte, in the heart of Seoul's young fashion district Myeong-Dong, was the first department store to open in the country in 1979. Smiling ladies dressed in candyfloss-pink tweed suits and hats dispense store maps. These are essential for a shop that covers almost 890,000 sq m. The store employs 700 staff to deal with 700,000 shoppers a week, half of whom leave with a purchase.
In the basement, fresh fish is displayed to perfection in the buzzing food hall, alongside exquisitely packed fruits, teas and Korean rice sweets. Fashion covers five floors, while electronics, home furnishings and duty free shopping are among a string of specialist departments. A 13th-floor culture centre offers activities ranging from cookery and dance classes to lifestyle lectures. Not forgetting the sports centre, wedding consultancy, pram rental and free mobile-phone charging.
The store is linked by tunnels to the 10-floor Avenuel, a fashion store so luxurious that there are orchids, glossy magazines and TVs in its loos. Next door is the Lotte Youth Plaza, filled with young fashion, while a hotel completes the complex known as Lotte Town.
Lotte's aims for the future are no less ambitious: stores are planned in emergent China, Vietnam and India.
01 Founded: 1979
02 Number of stores: 23 (department stores)
03 Annual turnover and profit: gross sales in 2006 were around €7.2bn and net profit was around €568m.
04 Future plans: stores for Vietnam, China and India.
05 What Monocle would like to see Lotte do next: run training schools for the staff of department stores in Paris, New York and London.
There's a saying in the world of retail: department stores don't travel well. But Finnish retailer Stockmann is an exception to the rule. The company, one of Finland's premium retailers, has four stores in Russia and two in Latvia and Estonia. It's currently carrying out a large investment programme for additional expansion, and almost a third of its revenue is derived from abroad – a figure the company aims to double by 2011.
Stockmann arrived in Moscow in 1989 and has since become something of an expert in the complicated but potentially lucrative Russian market. "We were the first western retailer to establish operations in the Soviet Union and we've been through all the upheavals: the breaking up of the country, the tanks on the streets, the collapse of the economy in 1998," says Stockmann's CEO Hannu Penttilä. "To succeed in Russia, you have to be in it for the long term; it's no quarterly business."
Stockmann has expanded in Russia in tandem with Ikea, renting space in the Swedish retailer's huge shops. Both are attracted by the massive growth potential in Russia: the country has 13 cities with more than a million inhabitants, plus several more with around half a million.
Stockmann is now building a fifth department store in Moscow and its first in St Petersburg. The next city to get a Stockmann will be Yekaterinburg. "I talk to experts and Russian officials a lot, and the message is pretty clear: in the next five to 10 years, they don't see any great changes in the economy: growth will continue, the currency will remain stable and [President Vladimir] Putin's people will remain in power," says Penttilä.
The company owns several other store concepts, most notably the Finnish fashion chain Seppälä, and the rights to Nike's products in Russia. Recently it made a bid for the Swedish fashion chain Lindex, which it also wants to take east.
Eastern European countries, especially Russia, are notorious for their corruption and bureaucracy. Penttilä's advice is to remain a good corporate citizen. "That's central. Pay your taxes and customs, and don't get into any grey areas. That means it's easier to get help when you get into difficulties. Any problems we've had, Finnish and Russian politicians have taken seriously," he says.
02 Number of stores: 13 department stores; six academic bookshops; 170 Seppälä stores; 14 Stockmann Beauty stores. Also four Zara stores; 16 Bestseller stores (brands such as Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, Only); three Nike stores and Hobby Hall, a mail-order and online retailer. The company has operations in Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
03 Annual turnover and profit in 2006: turnover €1.5bn; operating profit €130m; profit before taxes €129m.
04 Future plans: Stockmann is engaged in negotiations to take over several department stores in Russia. It also aims to take Seppälä to the Ukrainian market and the Swedish fashion chain Lindex to the Russian market.
05 What Monocle would like to see Stockmann do next: upping the fashion factor in its department stores by introducing new, interesting Scandinavian designers and international luxury brands.
"I think what people are responding to is the combination of modern, British, classic and organic," says Helen Wright, MD of Bamford, who formerly worked in Ralph Lauren's design studios. "And that is of the moment. We haven't deliberately tried to be of the moment but, right now, people want special, more interesting, quieter things."
And retail experiences don't come much more interesting than at Bamford & Sons, the London store that combines an updated take on luxury cable-knits, moleskin trousers and hand-finished Neapolitan shirts (for men), and a pure white cashmere yoga collection (for women), with perfectly judged, hand-picked gadgets and accessories such as vintage Rolex Submariners, limited-edition sterling silver iPods and cordless Sony mice (for everyone).
Add to this an in-store café stocked by Daylesford Organic, which uses produce from the Bamfords' organic estates in Gloucestershire and Staffordshire, and the revelation that these are the same Bamfords as JC Bamford Ltd – or JCB, the yellow diggers – and you begin to understand what an extraordinary story this is.
Since opening its first shop in Notting Hill in September 2004, Bamford has expanded to five dedicated stores, is stocked in 30 others, and has penned a US deal with Bergdorf Goodman. It's also eyeing the Russian, Chinese and Indian markets, and is about to launch Bamford Body, a range of "organic/botanic" bath and beauty products certified "95 per cent organic" by the hard-to-impress Soil Association (expect to see it stocked in upmarket spas before very long).
"We have had," Wright says, sitting in Bamford's not immodest wood-and-white offices off Sloane Square in Chelsea, "an amazing three years."
It has been posited that the Bamford brands (Bamford & Sons menswear, Bamford womenswear and Daylesford) create a kind of mythical, Merchant Ivory England where, as one journalist had it, "teenagers read adventure stories in hammocks, while mum and dad putter around on their sailing boat before Sunday lunch at the family's country pile". All of which would be so much clever marketing, were it true. Its singular combination of products is so successful precisely because it's based not on a myth, but a reality: that of the Bamfords.
"Bamford is about a family," says Wright. "It's about their values, about how they live and about their passions. That is a principle of the business." Indeed, Sir Anthony Bamford, chairman of JCB and the son of founder Joseph Cyril Bamford (a man who was, apparently, so careful with money that he insisted his wife made all their curtains) is a lover of vintage cars and planes, Lady Bamford is an environmentally active holistic enthusiast, while son George is a fully fledged gadget-head who scours the world for the limited-edition books, Tom Cat yo-yos and other boys' toys that characterise the stores. In short, the Bamfords are selling a lifestyle – their own.
The venture grew out of Lady Bamford's ahead-of-the-curve enthusiasm for organic food and the methods she was able to deploy at Daylesford, the family's country retreat. "Organic begins the story," says Wright. "Lady Bamford's interest expanded, but remained true to things that are pure and of the earth. It became a stepping stone for menswear, then womenswear, then the rest."
Integrity, purpose and a forward-thinking environmental message – not to say butter-soft suede jackets to die for. In the end, the only real surprise with Bamford is that the competition has been slow to copy the format.
02 Number of stores: five
03 Annual turnover and profit: "We do not release the annual turnover and the profit details."
04 Future plans: Bamford Bath & Body. Expansion into Russian, Chinese and Indian markets. Further expansion in the US. 05 What Monocle would like to see Bamford do next: bring its unique taste to the home furnishings market.
What do you do when the world's fussiest, most high-maintenance consumers decide they don't like department stores any more and they'd rather shop in boutiques and highly edited "select shops"? If you're the former you panic, stick to what you think you do best and die. If you're the latter you watch your results go through the roof. However, as the market we're referring to is Japan you improve on both. You refocus the department store to cater almost exclusively to 25-to-40-year-olds and fill it with the best "select shops" and emerging designers.
Since its launch as a household utensil and furniture shop in Nagano in 1931, Marui has become a leading player in Japan's department store scene. Fuelled by its popularity among fashion-conscious females, today the company has a turnover of over €3.3bn and 23 Marui department stores throughout the country, including 10 in the capital. The newest and shiniest of them all is Yurakucho Marui in Tokyo. Housed in the first eight floors of a gleaming, curved 110m-high building, the store forms the core of the new complex Yurakucho ITOCiA. On its opening day on 12 October, 120,000 people rushed through the doors to explore 18,500 sq m of retail heaven, spending almost €1m in the process.
With more than 170 individual shops housed inside Marui – only 31 of which are managed by the department store – the layout is akin to wandering around a very luxurious indoor market. Or, as a spokesman says: "Customers can walk around as if window-shopping inside the store." Fashion is the raison d'être at Marui. From Baby Jane Cacharel and earth music & ecology to Burberry Black Label and Noble Birth, a huge variety of designers are showcased on five floors of women's fashion and accessories and two floors of menswear.
Music and green spaces, however, are also important. There is a monthly music menu for each floor, enabling shoppers to peruse fourth-floor dresses against a soundtrack of Hotel Costes X or first-floor handbags with bossa nova playing in the background. Spaces alongside escalators are filled with green plants, stylish furniture and gentle music, where tired children nod off, bored husbands play Nintendo and girlfriends gossip.
Monthly displays are also set up in "event spaces" on four floors. These include the Leaf Terrace on the eighth floor, where florists Hana-Kichi offer flower-arranging classes in a studio behind wafting white curtains. Meanwhile the basement bustles with more than 25 cafés, restaurants and food stores, ranging from the Japanese sweet store Sakura Michi to the organic outlet Natural House. But the biggest draw involves neither fashion or healthy eating: it is the phenomenally popular Krispy Kreme, Japan's second outlet of the US doughnut chain.
02 Number of stores: 23 (10 in Tokyo)
03 Annual turnover and profit: In 2006 sales totalled €3.3bn and profit was €26m.
04 Future plans: opening the new Marui City Shinjuku in Spring 2009.
05 What Monocle would like to see Marui do next: work with a Japanese architect to give its souped-up interiors a matching exterior.
Eslite says everything about Taiwan. When you're unrecognised by much of the world as a nation you strive harder to stay on top of things. It's for this reason the Taiwanese bookseller's flagship store in Xinyi is one of the biggest bookshops in the world – a consumer can spend an afternoon here and be briefed on pretty much everything.
What's so special about it? For starters, it stocks more than a million books and 300,000 different titles. There are separate shops that focus on art, along with lecture theatres, exhibition spaces, cinemas, restaurants and coffee bars. For Taiwanese people wanting to know about the latest cultural trends or what is in vogue, Eslite is the place to head.
That is why the store also sells fashion. When you enter the building you walk past boutiques for Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood, Agnès B, Voyage and the Taiwanese designer Isabelle Wen. The two basement floors are devoted to younger fashion, homeware, a bakery, a wine cellar and the food village.
The bookshop itself begins on the second floor, where new arrivals, bestsellers, travel, business and leisure titles are stocked. There's also a huge magazine collection, with a comprehensive selection of foreign titles. Ascending floors feature literature, social sciences and humanities, health and cooking. There's also an open cooking studio where celebrity chefs, wine experts and writers come to give practical demonstrations and talks.
The top floor is Eslite's culture space, featuring a cinema/lecture room, an exhibition hall and several restaurants. On the roof they host open-air music events – there's a separate music shop on the fourth floor. Despite the store's name being a play on the word "elite", there is nothing elitist about it. You are welcome to sit on the couches, steps or floors and read for hours. It's also family-friendly. Parents can browse around the shop while leaving their children in the care of the staff on the fifth floor, where there's a children's bookshop, a DIY art space and a children's museum.
01 Founded: 1989 after Wu Chin-yu, who had made a fortune selling kitchen equipment, had heart surgery that left him looking for a new direction.
02 Number of stores: 41. Two new shops were added to the portfolio in 2007.
03 Annual turnover and profit: in 2006 the company had a turnover of €214m, an 11 per cent increase on 2005.
04 Future plans: Eslite's key ambition is to get a foothold in China, and it hopes to have its first store there by 2008.
05 What Monocle would like to see Eslite do next: go global with 24-hour branches in the world's key capitals.
The Atlantic Shift


Easter is the most important Christian holiday of the year because it celebrates the day when Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead. The date of Easter changes each year but is always held sometime in March or April. The symbol of the resurrection is the cross, so outside of many churches you will see crosses at this time often decorated with flowers.
Easter is also a Spring festival celebrating 'new life' – not just the new life of Jesus, but the new life in the land all around us. This is where many of the more secular symbols of the season: eggs, flowers, lambs, chicks, bunnies etc. come from. And this is why people traditionally give Easter eggs as presents at this holiday.
For many Christian children Easter is a holiday that combines the religious aspect (a trip to church) with the fun of eating chocolate eggs. It is also an important family time for many Christian families who will come together to take advantage of a long weekend to have a big family meal and to celebrate together.

The minute I finished reading Hawthorn & Child, I logged on to amazon.com to buy more of Keith Ridgway's work and wondered why I hadn't come across him before now. I love books that capture your attention in the first paragraph and keep you up all night reading and Hawthorn & Child is definitely in that category.
Edgy, fragmentary, literary — it is unusual and original and although on the surface it might be described as crime fiction there is a lot more going on here in a relatively short novel that will hang around in your head long after you've finished reading it.
In a way, the chapters in Hawthorn & Child are a little like a series of the sort of tenuously related episodes you might experience in a dream and, in fact, where dream stops and reality begins is one of the themes present from the very outset.
Hawthorn & Child opens with two detectives on their way to investigate a shooting. Child is driving, Hawthorn is asleep and dreaming. Reality intrudes on the dream and sirens sound as the two detectives make their way to visit the victim of a shooting.
At the hospital, the victim waiting to undergo surgery reports that he was shot by "a beautiful old car" — a vintage car with running boards that came out of nowhere and that nobody else seems to have seen.
We never do find out if the car is real or who was driving it. Instead, through the following chapters, we are introduced to a variety of other characters that touch in different ways — some more significant than others — on the main protagonists. They range from the detectives' boss, Rivers, and his troubled artistic daughter, to a pickpocket and his girlfriend who communicate with each other by writing their private thoughts in a shared diary, from a soccer referee who sees ghosts on the football pitch to a book editor that might be a serial killer.
The reader catches glimpses of these various characters and is left to try to work out where they fit, whether they are real even and how or whether the different fragments fit together.
Hawthorn & Child is a really original novel. I'm looking forward to reading more of Keith Ridgway.
This review is of the Kindle edition of Hawthorn & Child which I purchased on amazon.com.
Hawthorn & Child by Keith Ridgway is published by Granta.
Having kept Port Mortuary with a great sense of anticipation while I finished reading a couple of other novels, I'm sorry to say that it didn't live up to my expectations. I had heard that Patricia Cornwall was back on form with Port Mortuary so I had expected to be drawn in from the first pages and held throughout the remainder. In the event, I found that the first half of the book hard to get into and the non-stop acronyms were distracting and sometimes made for difficult reading. More than once, I had to flick back to remind myself what a particular acronym stood for. Eventually, the story did come together and the last part of the book is much stronger. Having said all of that, it is still a fast read and I did not consider abandoning it. If you are a Patricia Cornwall fan, and you haven't already read this, then I am sure that you will want to. If you are new to her writing, I would recommend that you start with some of her earlier novels which, for my money, I think are much better.

Acting Pentagon chief says committed to defeating Islamic State, but allies skeptical
Reuters , Friday 15 Feb 2019
Russia, Iran in Syria: Partners clashing
Turkey says work on roadmap for Syria's Manbij has accelerated
Civilians fleeing in eastern Syria need transit site, aid in winter: UNHCR
Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said on Friday that the United States is committed to defeating Islamic State in the Middle East and beyond, but officials said European allies are skeptical of Washington's pledges.
U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement in December that he was withdrawing all 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria surprised and rattled allies. U.S. officials have crisscrossed the Middle East in recent weeks to reassure them that Washington remains committed to the region.
Trump's Syria decision was opposed by top aides, including Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who quit, leaving his deputy Shanahan in charge of the Pentagon.
"While the time for U.S. troops on the ground in northeast Syria winds down, the United States remains committed to our coalition's cause, the permanent defeat of ISIS, both in the Middle East and beyond," Shanahan said after a meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
The meeting included about a dozen defense ministers from the coalition to defeat Islamic State. Kurdish-led fighters are battling to capture Islamic State's last major stronghold in Syria, but even without territory, the militant Islamist group is widely seen as a continuing threat.
Shanahan said he envisioned a "bigger and stronger" coalition to fight Islamic State globally. "We will continue to support our local partners' ability to stand up to the remnants of ISIS," he added, using an acronym for Islamic State.
However, European officials said they were given few details during the closed-door meeting in Munich and many questions remain. "We are still trying to understand how the Americans plan to withdraw. I don't think there is any clarity still," one European official, speaking on the condition of anonymity said.
Another official said Shanahan did not provide allies with a timeline of the American withdrawal from Syria and allies expressed scepticism during the meeting.
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said no commitments were made during the meeting and there was little discussion about timelines.
"These meetings don't tend to have specific deliverables or decisions, it tends to be more focused on taking stock of where we are," the U.S. official said.
Trump has said he expects a formal announcement as early as this week that the coalition fighting Islamic State has reclaimed all the territory held by the group.

MST3K Kickstarter: Felicia Day is new mad, Hampton Yount is Crow, Baron Vaughn is Tom Servo
2015-11-24 10:00:00by Hubert Vigilla
TUSK!
The Bring Back MST3K Kickstarter has already met its $2 million goal. Last week we reported that Jonah Ray is the new host of MST3K, and noted some rumors about who the rest of the new Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast would be.
Turns out the rumors were true.
Joel Hodgson made it official yesterday and announced that Felicia Day is the new mad scientist on the show, with Hampton Yount as the new Crow T. Robot and Baron Vaughn as the new Tom Servo. Day will be playing Kinga Forrester, the daughter of Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) and the granddaughter of Pearl Forrester (Mary Jo Pehl).
Here's the official announcement video.
The new evil henchman has yet to be announced, but as of this writing I can't find any info on who this might be with some basic Google Fu and Twitter Fu. Your guess is as good as mine.
AV Club thinks the shadow looks Patton Oswalt-like, but for all we know, it could be Mr. Game & Watch.
Here's that image:
There are still 17 days left on the crowdfunding campaign, which means a full season with this cast isn't out of the question at the moment. Visit the MST3K Kickstarter page by clicking here.
What do you think of the new cast, and who should be the new henchman? (I hope the new henchman is the test tube baby of Bobo and Brain Guy.)
