The Mind-Boggling, Magical Journey of a Monarch
Monarch butterflies migrate from Vermont (and other northern regions) 2500 miles south to Mexico every year at this time. In the spring and summer they return- that’s an annual journey of 5000 miles! The butterflies migrate to the exact same tree each and every year. In order to make the trip without literally falling apart, they reproduce 4 times en-route so it's actually the 4th generation that returns to Mexico every winter.
The Monarch Population is in Free Fall
Last month I wrote about monarchs and the 90% drop in their population over the last few years. "In human-population terms it would be like losing every living person in the United States except those in Florida and Ohio” according to Tierra Curry, a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity. The free fall is largely due to recent decimation of the butterfly's habitat and food source, milkweed.
I recruited (somewhat skeptical) staff members at Vermont Woods Studios to help collect milkweed seeds. We gathered over 1000 seedpods and separated the seeds from their fuzzy parachutes.
A Milkweed SeedBank is Born in Vermont
After researching the Monarch's plight, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least try to do something to help. So last weekend I spent much of my time wandering through an empty lot on Rt 142 in Vernon, collecting milkweed seeds. I recruited Dennis, Kelsey and Nina to help me. Realtor, David Berrie of Berrie Real Estate in Newfane, VT owns the lot and he was kind enough to allow us to "take all the milkweed you want!" I think that ended up being about 1000 seedpods. The Nature Institute estimates there are an average of 226 seeds in each milkweed pod so we probably harvested around a quarter of a million seeds. We'll keep them on hand for awhile in case anyone in the area would like to plant some. Otherwise we'll donate the seeds to Monarch Watch, an organization that maintains a free milkweed seed bank.
Even Pepper pitched in as we worked well into the night hours separating seeds.
Sowing the Seeds: A Trial Run
Annette and Fia helped me with a trial run at Malhana Farm. It was a beautiful Fall day for planting milkweed!
Annette volunteered to sow milkweed seeds in a couple of her pastures at Malhana farm and I did the same in the meadows at Stonehurst. Now we wait until the spring to see what comes up.
I hope you'll think the monarch's mind-boggling, magical phenomenon is worth conserving! Please spread the word and join scientists, conservationists, teachers, road crews and nature lovers in planting milkweed in backyards, gardens, fields and highway medians. Need seeds? Let me know on Facebook, or email me (email@example.com).

Chanel to stage next Métiers d’art show in Château de Chenonceau
Chanel has revealed plans to stage its next Métiers d’art show in historic Château de Chenonceau, the romantic Loire valley castle known as the Château des Dames.
The Métiers d’art show, to be staged on December 1, traditionally marks the end of the annual calendar of runway shows, and is celebrated for its exuberant style and brilliant technical finish.
Chanel first began staging Métiers d’art shows back in 2002, to highlight the unique skills of a rare collection of artisan houses with the group, specialists in embroidery, millenary, pearls, boot-making, feather and other generally specialist skills. At its heart is French savoir-faire has – resources like Maison Michel for hats; Causse Gantier for gloves; boots by Massaro; costume jewelry by Goossens and Lemarié for feathers and flowers.
It has grown to become a truly unique, out of season collection developed by Chanel – into a major fashion statement, which incorporates elements of haute couture and ready-to-wear.
Since its debut almost two decades ago, the house has staged audacious shows in such far flung locations as Rome, Salzburg, Bombay, and New York. Under former artistic director Karl Lagerfeld the Métiers d’art shows toured the planet, making stops in 2009 on the Bund in Shanghai, and in 2012 in Edinburgh’s ruined Linlithgow Castle, the ancient home of the Kings of Scotland.

of TripAdvisor Travelers recommend this hotel
"Location, style and service"
With a 3 minute walk from the main station to the hotel, this hotel has the best location in Munich. It is right opposite Karlsplatz and the tower suite on the 1st floor has a view of the old city gate. It is 2 subway stops to Oktoberfest venue. Great bar downstairs.
"ABSOLUTELY (INSERT ADVERB HERE!)"
We booked this based on reviews on this website and was note disappointed. Perfectly located near the main train station and right on the Marienplatz, made getting around a breeze; walk out the front door and it's all right there. Housekeeping was outstanding; front desk was efficient. Bar couldn't have been any better.
The hotel is easily reachable from the airport by public transport and is centrally located to visit Munchen by walking. We had a warm welcome and a room upgrade. The room (Turmzimmer/Towerroom) is really nice and very spacious. Pitty that the room can't be made entirely dark. About the restaurant: breakfast (until 11am) is extensive; the menu for the evening is rather limited.
"Great Location, Sparse Accommodations"
I stayed here on business for three nights. The front desk staff was friendly and top notch efficient. My room was not ready when I got there but they called me promptly when it was. Hotel is in an excellent location, an easy walk to Odenplatz, and from there a lovely walk through the pedestrian way to MArienplatz and the market. The location alone is reason enough to consider this hotel. My issues with Hotel Anna were the following: (1) lots of street noise (and I was on the 4th floor of 6 and had the windows closed); (2) I had a very nice room but lots of wasted space in an ante room that had nothing in it and could not be used for anything; (3) breakfast was pretty mediocre and never changed; and (4) elevators were slow and VERY small and usually full of cleaning staff. I would stay here agin though simply for the location.
"Perfect for me, maybe not for everyone"
Very modern hotel. Not many services, Rooms a bit spartan, but just fine for me. Very clean and hospitable front desk staff with very good English as well. Free WiFi. Hotel is in a great location, a block or two from the central train station and across the street from a metro station. 20 minute walk to Oktoberfest.
Credit cards accepted by the hotel: Visa - MasterCard
Check-in: 3:00 PM , Check-out: 11:00 AM

Come next April, the world of pensions will be irrevocably changed, and with it the advice given will have to be adapted accordingly. Chancellor George Osborne has laid out his grand plan for pension flexibility, but, as Money Marketing reveals this week, some of the regulatory implications are yet to be ironed out.
The Government has now set out its position on the guidance guarantee, and the FCA has outlined how it plans to deliver the service. But behind closed doors, the FCA is having a separate conversation on the nuances and practicalities of the Budget pension reforms.
The question at hand is: Should the FCA relax the current pension transfer qualifications requirements in the wake of the Budget?
Money Marketing understands the FCA is examining the issue after it was raised as a concern by the industry.
The problem the regulator has been asked to solve is as follows: the FCA considers that transfers from workplace defined contribution schemes to go into drawdown require advisers to hold the regulatory permissions to advise on pension transfers and opt-outs.
It has been questioned whether this requirement is needed in the current environment for DC to drawdown transfers, let alone when we move into the brave new pensions world.
The FCA has a delicate balance to strike. On the one hand, requiring advisers to take the necessary exams to get these permissions should go some way to ensuring a high quality of advice in what may be a growth area following the Budget.
Does the regulator really want to be moving to a place where advice related to the complex area of pension transfers is not being carried out by qualified individuals?
On the other hand, concerns have been raised that by making the hurdle to give advice on transfer from occupational DC to drawdown so high, consumers risk being priced out.
Clearly, pension transfers advice is a notoriously technical area to navigate and this comes at a cost. By requiring such a high bar on the qualifications front, the regulator could find that the very people who need advice are not able to afford it.
This is likely to jar against the backdrop of the RDR.
This year’s Budget was hailed, in these pages no less, as the Budget for financial planners. The question the FCA is yet to answer is: for how many?

Stutz Joins Native Foods
Native Foods appointed Carin Stutz as the new chief executive officer for the plant-based restaurant group where she will focus on supporting sustainable growth for Native Food’s 13 restaurant locations in California, Oregon, Colorado and Chicago.
As somewhat of a full-circle moment, Stutz studied food and nutrition in college, with a concentration on utilizing soy-based foods as protein substitutes. “It was a forward-thinking notion at the time. Now, plant-based dishes are not only popular, they are a part of the everyday eating habits of diners,” Stutz said.
Now at Native Foods, she is looking forward to applying her leadership skills and passion for plant-based dining in her role as CEO. “I look forward to helping the Native Foods team grow. This unique brand is one of the true innovators in the area of creating plant-based food choices with delicious and flavor options. It’s a wonderful opportunity to build on the culture that has been established over the last 25 years. As my own dietary choices have become more plant-based, I find Native Foods to be a great resource, beyond the ever-popular plant-based burgers. The menu’s variety and creativity result in simply delicious offerings that are loved by all.”
Robert Millstone, managing partner of Millstone Capital Advisors, the manager for the parent company for Native Foods is thrilled to have Stutz join the brand. “Carin has demonstrated the ability to build teams that embrace continuous improvement, operational excellence and an exceptional guest experience. We are confident these and her many other abilities will position Native Foods to serve more people with new stores in existing and future markets.”
Most recently, Stutz served as executive vice president and chief operating office for Red Robin where she oversaw 560 restaurants across the United States and Canada. She also served as president for McAlister’s Deli with FOCUS Brands; chief executive officer and president of Cosi; and president of Global Business Development for Brinker International, leading all operations and franchise development for 240 Chili’s and Maggiano’s restaurants around the globe. Prior to her work at Brinker, she was executive vice president of operations for Applebee’s International, Inc., and she also worked as vice president for the Central Division and later Pacific Division for Wendy’s International, Inc.
In addition, she has served as the past chair of the Women’s Foodservice Forum, a leading organization in the food service industry, dedicated to developing gender-diverse leadership talent. She has been recognized in Chicago's Top 100 Women to Watch and Women Making a Difference; Texas Women Worth Watching award; received the distinguished alumni award from WIU; and is a national judge for ProStart, NRA Education Foundation. In her free time, she enjoys music, theatre, golf, and travel with her husband Rodger as well as spending time with her two sons and their families, including four grandsons.
Stutz will be leading the Native Foods team from the brand’s headquarters in Chicago.
Courtyard by Marriott Goes Beyond
Recognizing the growing demand for plant-based offerings*, Courtyard by Marriott has partnered with plant-based powerhouse Beyond Meat® to satisfy cravings. The announcement marks the first brand-wide initiative to partner with a plant-based food company within Marriott International’s extensive portfolio.
Travelers can now enjoy Beyond Meat on the road at Courtyard by Marriott’s Bistro Bar at nearly 1,000 hotels across North America. (*A recent study found that “95% of consumers who have ordered a plant-based burger in the past year also order animal meat burgers.” NPD QSR Study, 2019)
Courtyard introduced two new menu items featuring Beyond Meat’s products to its Bistro Bar menu:
● The Beyond BurgerTM, the world’s first plant-based burger designed to look, cook and satisfy like beef without GMOs, soy, or gluten. Topped with gruyere, lettuce, tomato, and garlic aioli on a brioche roll, with French fries or arugula salad. Suggested Retail Pricing: $11.50 – $13.00 (depending on location)
● Beyond Meat® Roasted Red Pepper Flatbread, topped with plant-based Beyond Meat, roasted red pepper sauce, mozzarella cheese, banana peppers, fresh basil, parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil., top photo. Suggested Retail Pricing: $9.25 – $11.00 (depending on location)
While not solely plant-based, Just Salad, the NYC-based fast casual concept that cultivates healthier lifestyles by serving real food at an affordable price, is exclusively partnering with Grubhub, the nation's leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, to launch a new virtual restaurant, Health Tribes™. The digital-only concept features a variety of diet-specific recipes that are available exclusively on Grubhub and orderjustsalad.com.
Supporting Just Salad's "Healthy for Everyone" mission, Health Tribes customers can find nutritionist-verified recipes based on their individual dietary preferences. Just Salad developed the Health Tribes virtual restaurant to provide curated recipes for those following Keto, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Paleo diets.
"Just Salad has always been dedicated to making healthy food accessible to everyone, and the Health Tribes brand is a continuation of that mission," said Stephen Swartz, VP of Marketing at Just Salad. "As the dietary needs and preferences of our guests evolve, we're taking this step with Grubhub to evolve right alongside them."
"Whether it's picking up on the go or ordering lunch to the office, Just Salad has recognized the changing tastes of consumers, and we're excited to partner with them on this new concept. We want to empower our diners to find what they want – and need – for their own lifestyle, and the new Health Tribes menu is making that possible," said Raleigh McClayton, VP & GM, Business Development/Enterprise at Grubhub. "By leveraging our data and insights across the platform, we were able to work with Just Salad to help strategically inform new concepts and menus, and we see this as the first phase of innovation around their virtual restaurant concepts."
In addition to existing favorites like The California (Keto, Gluten-Free, and Paleo) and Tokyo Supergreens with Tofu (Vegan), Health Tribes features exciting new salad and warm bowl recipes developed by Just Salad's R&D team, including:
- Feisty Fiesta Bowl (Vegan): Cauliflower + Broccoli Rice, Red Cabbage, Corn, Grape Tomatoes, Pickled Red Onions, Tortilla Chips, Cilantro
- Beyond Tex Mex (Vegan): Supergreens Blend, Beyond Beef® Meatballs, Black Beans, Corn, Pickled Red Onions
- Mushroom Harvest Bowl (Vegan): Black Rice + Bulgur Wheat, Supergreens Blend, Organic Sesame Tofu, Roasted Balsamic Mushrooms, Broccoli, Carrots
- Warm Shawarma Bowl (Keto): Cauliflower + Broccoli Rice, Baby Spinach, Warm Chicken Shawarma, Pickled Red Onions, Grape Tomatoes, Cilantro (Net Carbs: 17g)

- Protein Power (Paleo): Romaine + Arugula, Grilled Chicken, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Hard-Boiled Egg, Avocado, Grape Tomatoes
- Mediterranean Bowl (Paleo): Cauliflower + Broccoli Rice, Arugula, Warm Chicken Shawarma, Carrots, Cucumbers
- Cauli-Crunch Bowl (Paleo): Cauliflower + Broccoli Rice, Arugula, Grilled Chicken, Pumpkin Seeds, Grape Tomatoes, Carrots
A Proggy Award ("Proggy" is for "progress") is on its way from PETA to Just Salad in honor of its recent decision to remove all beef from its menu and, instead, offer diners Beyond Meat's Beyond Beef meatballs, citing red meat's "huge carbon footprint." While other dining chains have added vegan meat options, Just Salad is the first to replace beef entirely with a vegan protein option.
"We can envision a completely meatless menu at Just Salad within the next five years," said Just Salad Chief Sustainability Officer Janani Lee.
"By ditching beef in favor of Beyond Beef meatballs, Just Salad just got on board with the vegan dining trend," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "As the demand for delicious vegan fare continues to skyrocket, PETA looks forward to seeing more eateries veganize their menus—for the sake of animals, the environment, and diners' health."
Fatburger’s Vegan Milkshake
FAT Brands, parent company of Fatburger, is proud to announce its latest menu addition, vegan milkshakes. Made with hand-scooped Craig’s Vegan Ice Cream, the new milkshakes topped with non-dairy whipped cream will debut at 12 Fatburger locations in Southern California on October 14.
Fatburger’s new vegan milkshakes will be available in two flavors, vanilla and strawberry, and are available starting today at the Beverly Hills, North Hollywood, West Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, Venice, Van Nuys, Wilshire, Redondo Beach, Carson, Santa Monic & Sepulveda, and Lincoln & Pico locations. This latest menu addition expands on Fatburger’s current vegan menu offerings, such as the Impossible Burger patty, and speak to the brand’s commitment of offering top-quality new items for customers of all dietary preferences to enjoy.
Hollywood's iconic Fatburger is best known for its mouthwatering, juicy burgers made famous by founder Lovie Yancey in Los Angeles more than 70 years ago. Each burger is made-to-order with traditional toppings along with delicious add-ons including bacon, egg, cheese, and onion rings. In addition to their iconic burgers, Fatburger offers perfectly crisp fries and hand-scooped milkshakes.
“Our existing vegan items have performed incredibly well with not only vegans, but existing Fatburger customers who are looking to try something new. We have no doubt our new Craig’s Vegan Ice Cream milkshake will follow the same trajectory,” said Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands. “Like Fatburger, Craig’s Vegan Ice Cream is a Los Angeles institution. We are thrilled with the opportunity to partner with such a like-minded, local brand.”
Houlihan’s Veggie Good
When the new fall menu offerings launched earlier this month, Houlihan's also introduced "Veggie Good – Meatless Items From Our Menu " which includes the new Crispy Cauliflower Stir Fry, which debuted in the Midwest to rave reviews. The popular Crunchy Spicy Cauliflower appetizer is now available in all restaurants (in the Northeast it's called Firecracker Cauliflower.)
Vegetarian options include Avocado Toast, Margherita Flatbread, Original Baked Potato Soup (order without bacon), Housemade Veggie Burger, the Impossible Burger, Houlihan's Famous Stuffed 'Shrooms, Classic Spinach Dip, Loaded Guacamole with cotija cheese, and amazing Basil Pesto Brussels Sprouts. If soup is your game, the Original Baked Potato Soup or Roasted Tomato Bisque is sure to please your palette.
Menu items vary by location and the availability of produce and other ingredients may alter the menu in some markets. For example, in the northeast guests will find the Salsa Cruda Bruschetta on the vegetarian offerings, and in the Midwest restaurants the special menu insert features the Parmesan Frites served with chipotle mayo, tangy tomato and garlic parm dipping sauces.
"The Houlihan's menu has a wide variety of options and although we've always identified the items that are vegetarian, we wanted to take it a step further and provide a special menu insert to make it easier for our guests with a vegetarian lifestyle," said Bill Leibengood, chief marketing officer, Houlihan's Restaurant, Inc. "We want to ensure that as we move forward with new menu development, that vegetarian options are an ongoing part of that process."
"We realize how important it is to provide more than just a side salad or salad options for our guests who follow a vegetarian lifestyle," added Angela Potts, senior marketing director of Houlihan's Restaurant + Bar. "Bringing in fresh and on-trend items that highlight vegetarian ingredients is our focus – and ensuring these take center stage on our menu."
Carl’s Jr. Adds to Beyond Lineup
Carl’s Jr.® expanded its partnership with Beyond Meat® to launch an innovative new menu item – the Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger. Drawing on the success of its Beyond Famous Star, the restaurant developed a new burger build meant to complement the Beyond Burger™ patty, while drawing on the flavors of its famed Western Bacon Cheeseburger.
The new Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger will feature some of the restaurant’s most popular ingredients including a Beyond Burger patty topped with Carl's Jr. original BBQ sauce, American cheese, crispy onion rings, all on a sesame seed bun, for an indulgent flexitarian option that turns BBQ on its head with a plant-based spin.
“After seeing the overwhelming demand for our Beyond Famous Star, in true Carl’s Jr. fashion we knew it was time to give customers even more plant-based innovations to delight their taste buds. With one Western Bacon Cheeseburger sold every second, we saw this as the perfect flavor inspiration – and so the new Carl’s Jr. Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger was born,” shared Patty Trevino, SVP of Carl’s Jr. Brand Marketing. “We’re always looking for the next great way to innovate and deliver the most craveable burgers, and we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with industry leader Beyond Meat to bring new and exciting flavors to our customers.”
Carl's Jr. was one of the first major U.S. quick service restaurants to introduce a plant-based option to its menu in December 2018, and since then more than 4.5 million Beyond Famous Star burgers have been sold, making it the most successful burger launch for the brand in the past two years.
“It’s been great to see the strong positive consumer response Carl’s Jr. has received since launching the Beyond Burger on-menu as more and more consumers look for delicious plant-based meat options. The on-menu expansion of Beyond Meat reflects Carl’s Jr.’s continued enthusiasm around the brand partnership and commitment to delivering innovative options for their customers,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer at Beyond Meat.
Impossible Burger Is Top Performer
Impossible Burger debuted on store shelves earlier this month, immediately becoming the No. 1 product sold at some of America’s favorite grocery stores — and remaining the top performer ever since.
Impossible Burger is sold in more than 17,000 restaurants nationwide. The flagship product from Impossible Foods made its worldwide debut in grocery stores September 20 at all outlets of Gelson’s Markets in Southern California.
Since its debut, Impossible Burger has remained the No. 1 packaged item at Gelson’s 27-unit chain. Since its launch, Gelson’s has sold more Impossible Burger than all types of ground beef from cows, based on both revenue and total number of pounds sold.
“No one could have predicted this level of pent-up demand for Impossible Burger,” said John Bagan, Gelson’s Chief Merchandising Officer. “We had die-hard Impossible fans buying 10 packages at a time, and we saw a record number of new customers who have never shopped Gelson’s before. It’s the biggest product launch we've ever had.”
On September 26, Impossible Burger became available in all 100 outlets of Wegmans in seven states and two Fairway locations in New York City. Impossible Burger immediately became the No. 1 single item sold in the meat department at Fairway’s two Manhattan locations.
- During its first full weekend on store shelves in Southern California, Impossible Burger outsold by more than six times the No. 2 most popular standalone SKU.
- Impossible Burger buyers spent 72 percent more than the average shopper.
- More than one-third of all shopping carts with Impossible Burger contained at least two 12-oz packages; Gelson’s imposed a 10-pack limit for the $8.99 item.
- The most commonly cross-shopped items were: brioche buns, marinara sauce and cheddar cheese slices.
- The retail launch comes as Impossible Foods accelerates production to meet scorching demand.
- Last month, Impossible Foods announced a co-manufacturing collaboration with global food provider OSI Group, one of the largest food producers in the world. OSI has already begun to produce the Impossible Burger, adding short-term capacity to Impossible Foods’ plant in Oakland, Calif. OSI will continue to expand production of Impossible Foods’ flagship product throughout 2019 and thereafter.
In addition to its retail performance update, Impossible Foods hired tech industry sales leader Dan Greene as Senior Vice President of US Sales. Read more details in this news release.
Greene leads the Impossible Foods’ US sales team as it enters an unprecedented growth phase. Greene oversees both the foodservice division (which sells to restaurants, universities, theme parks, stadiums and other outlets) and the retail division, which will announce more grocery store partners throughout the next year.
The Impossible Burger is served in all 50 states and in nearly every type of cuisine — from burgers, tacos and pizza to poke sushi burritos. The Impossible Burger is now America’s most popular late-night delivery snack, according to Grubhub's "State of the Plate" report, with delivery sales surging 529 percent in the first half of 2019 — proof that the product satisfies the midnight cravings of carnivores on the prowl for chow.
Whirled Peas Pop Up
Sabra's Whirled Peas will be a limited-time pop-up experience reimagining the versatile Mediterranean dish as inspired by global culture and cuisine. Five chefs, each celebrated for sharing their heritage flavorfully through food, will collaborate with chef, cookbook author, and restauranteur Einat Admony to introduce a collection of original dishes featuring the plant-based favorite, reinterpreted. Presented by Sabra®, 'Whirled Peas' will be open to the public through November 24 with reservations available through the Resy app and Resy.com.
"We are so excited to open the doors at Sabra's first pop up in NYC. Hummus is a simple and delicious, plant-based food… a bowl of whirled chickpeas with tahini (ground sesame seeds,) aromatic herbs and rich oils," said Jason Levine, Sabra CMO. "Hummus is Mediterranean in origin, yet we believe food has a transcending ability to connect us, which is the idea behind this pop-up experience. We are partnering with a group of brilliant chefs, with diverse culinary and cultural experiences, to reinterpret hummus and showcase the unexpected versatility and relatability of this nourishing and flavorful food. From hummus with tacos to tahini and Thai Pho, delicious things can happen when we connect in the kitchen. We think you'll want to try this at home."
A recent study conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with Sabra examined how Americans look at culture and food, revealing Americans feel food is a true unifier. Among respondents, 84% percent indicate food is a welcoming and approachable way to share cultures with others and 88 percent cite food and recipes as preferred ways to first experience new cultures.
To create the unique pop-up experience, Sabra takes over and transforms Kish-Kash, a West Village based restaurant owned by Chef Admony whose new book "Shuk" was released last month.
Whirled Peas Chefs:
Einat Admony– (NYC) Chef at Kish-Kash, Taim, and Balaboosta and author of Shuk: From Market to Table, the Heart of Israeli Home Cooking.
Wes Avila– (LA) James Beard Semi-Finalist for Best Chef, cookbook author and owner of Guerilla Tacos , Avila was awarded the Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide to California in 2019.
Esther Choi – (NYC) Hailed as New Rising Chef by Food Republic and named a Zagat 30 under 30 NYC Culinary Rockstar, Esther owns Mŏkbar and Ms. Yoo in NYC.
Kwame Onwuachi – (DC) James Beard Award-winning executive chef at Kith/Kin and author of Notes from a Young Black Chef, the former Top Chef contestant was named one of Food & Wines Best New Chefs and a 30 Under 30 honoree by both Zagat and Forbes.
Jet Tila – (LA) Chef, cookbook author (101 Epic Dishes) and TV personality, Chef Tila is the official Culinary Ambassador of Thai Cuisine. He has appeared on Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain, Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, The Today Show, Beat Bobby Flay and stars in a new Food Network digital series Ready Jet Cook!
Deborah VanTrece– (GA) Owner of Twisted Soul Cookhouse and Pours and noted caterer for the Centennial Olympics, has been seen on Food Network and was named one of Zagat's Most Badass Female Chefs.
"I've always got hummus stocked in the fridge and I am thrilled to partner with Sabra on this project," said Chef Wes Avila. "When we share a meal, or even better, a kitchen with others, we can cook our way through pre-conceived culinary notions to bring something incredible to the table. Hummus is central to the cuisine of an entire region, yet it is rich enough to lend itself to creativity much like salsa and guacamole, making it a perfect food to infuse with unexpected textures and flavors."
"There is no food quite like hummus," said Chef Admony. "As a dip, of course it is delicious but if you stop there, you are really missing out. I am so proud to collaborate with Sabra and this special group of chefs, each of whom, like me understands the power of sharing of ourselves through food. My parents are from Iran and Yemen, I grew up in Israel, my husband is French, and my children are born in America. I know for a fact that opening palates leads to opening minds and arms. Cooking for others is both vulnerable and brave. That is what we have on the menu here at Whirled Peas and I am so thrilled to be part of it and to welcome these incredible chefs into the kitchen to cook with me.

Many nations have benefited much from international commerce, and the globe has benefited more than not. International commerce enables countries to extend their markets and access commodities and services that might otherwise be unavailable in their own country. According to Borkakoti, “the pure theory of international trade attempts to determine the causes of trade, that is, to determine why one country, for example, imports machinery and exports textile” (Borkakoti 2017). The market has become more competitive as a result of international commerce. As a result, pricing becomes more competitive, and the consumer receives a lower-cost product. International commerce, on the other hand, has both costs and advantages.

for only $16.05 $11/page
One of the most significant benefits of international trading is the possibility of expanding the client base. Each additional country added to the list might pave the road for improved income and business success. Market diversity is also a crucial benefit of international commerce. Focusing only on the home market may expose sellers to more risk from economic downturns, political crises, natural disasters, and other risk factors. Sellers may offset possible hazards in the primary market by being less reliant on a single market.
International shipping firms such as FedEx and DHL make it simple to send packages nearly anywhere on the planet. However, one of the disadvantages of international trading is that most customs offices in these destination countries charge extra shipping fees. While each country calculates these tariffs and taxes differently, they are usually based on the value of the goods supplied. The item description may also impact these costs, depending on what it is made of and what it is used for. A corporation must know what the overseas shipping firm will charge the end consumer and its cost. Despite the existence of internet translators, language remains one of the most significant barriers to international trade. While Google Translate may create instructions and conversations in another language, they are not without flaws. There are several examples of poorly translated items with names that have been misinterpreted in another language on the market. Consider hiring a marketing firm in the targeted area or region to analyze all of the company’s materials before launching the product or service.
To sum up, we can say that international trade is one of the essential things in the world today. Without its help, the process of delivering goods from different parts of the world would have slowed down significantly, which in turn would have slowed down the development of a person as such. However, there are peculiarities in international trade that should be taken into account and studied, without which the trade process would, of course, be simplified, but also more dangerous.

A Kiwi insurer is to offer its staff 28 weeks parental leave on full pay as well as making KiwiSaver contributions for up to one year's parental leave as part of a raft of staff incentives.
Cigna Life will make the change at the end of this month when its takes over the life insurance business of the ANZ - OnePath Life - boosting its employees from 220 to 500 and moving up to become the third largest player in the market.
The life insurer will top up the pay of staff who go on parental leave to their full pay for 26 weeks and offer another two weeks family leave which can be taken at any time.
Partners of new parents will also be entitled to four weeks paid leave and annual leave will be accumulated while a person is on parental leave.
Cigna will also continue to make KiwiSaver contributions of 3 per cent or 4 per cent for the full 52 weeks leave as long as the employee contributes to KiwiSaver for the first 26 weeks paid leave.
The Government's paid parental leave policy increased from 18 weeks to 22 weeks in July and will increase again to 26 weeks in 2020.
For employees paid parental payments currently equal their normal pay up to a maximum of $564.38 a week before tax while partners are only eligible for up to two weeks unpaid leave under the law.
Gail Costa, Cigna New Zealand chief executive, said it made the changes because it wanted to attract the OnePath staff.
"We looked at all their terms and conditions and lined them up with ours."
Under ANZ's ownership OnePath workers already had 26 weeks paid parental leave and KiwiSaver contributions paid over the full year of parental leave as well as unlimited sick leave.
But Costa said they would benefit from Cigna's long service leave.
The company gives a one off week every five years and those who stay at the company for more than seven years get five weeks annual leave.
Cigna staff were previously on 12 weeks full pay for parental leave.
Costa said she hoped the changes would take the pressure off new parents and allow them to stay off work longer.
"We are committed to supporting our people through the early days of parenthood and upon their return to work.
The move comes as unemployment levels in New Zealand hit 3.9 per cent - the lowest level since 2008 when the global financial crisis began to bite.
Costa said it recognised that staff were its most important asset.
"Cigna believes that happy and healthy staff lead to a better service for our customers."
All but six staff from the ANZ business will come over to Cigna, she said.
ANZ New Zealand agreed to sell its life insurance business to Cigna in May for $700 million and received regulatory approval last week for the deal to go ahead.
It has also entered into a 20-year deal to use the bank's network to sell life insurance.
The Cigna/One Path deal continues a shake up in the industry which earlier this year saw AIA buy Sovereign - NZ's largest life insurer - from ASB parent Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
AIA paid A$3.8 billion to buy both CBA's Australian life insurance business CommInsure Life and Sovereign.
AIA also continues to have a long-term distribution deal with ASB to sell its insurance.
Meanwhile AMP has agreed to sell its New Zealand and Australian life insurance business for A$3.3 billion to Resolution Life in the deal which it expects to go through by the second half of 2019, provided it gets regulatory approvals.

Electric Lounge 20th anniversary show w/ Sixteen Deluxe (11:30), Pong (10:30), Gay Sportscasters (9:30), Wannabes (8:35), Hamell on Trial (7:40), the Horsies (6:45), Cher U.K. (6:00), Kevin Russell (5:10), Graham Reynolds (4:15), Ethan Azarian & Jeff Johnston (4:00)
Although it existed for a mere seven years, the Electric Lounge (1993-1998) enjoyed an outsize impact on the Austin music scene, nurturing a generation of artists from Graham Reynolds to Spoon. That legacy informs the venue’s double-decade reunion, a benefit for Mosaic Sound Collective, ailing local artist Jason Austin, and the SIMS Foundation.
“That was our Liberty Lunch,” says Shinyribs leader Kevin Russell, here performing songs by his alt.country stars the Gourds, who established locally behind a residency at the venue. “It’s where the Gourds took off. Before that, no one knew who we were. Those Tuesday nights more than anything, and opening for Lucinda Williams.
“We’d open for Richard Buckner, or someone coming through who needed a little help with the crowd. At that point in our career, no one was telling us we couldn’t play too much. It was a great time, before managers and booking agents and all that stuff. We grew up there.”
Despite the Lounge’s influence, its history has largely been subsumed by ensuing music progress, notes Russell.
“It was a short period of time, and a certain slice of Austin people,” he adds. “It’s not as ubiquitous as the Armadillo. Our generation, we’re not as well known for our formative music venue, but maybe this’ll be good for that – to look back and think this was a good thing happening. It made a positive difference in the life of the city and the lives of the people involved in it.”

I have spent hundreds of hours over the past ten years looking and thinking about this photograph (tintype) of Andrew and Silas Chandler.

Giacobbe-Fritz Fine Art
Rebecca Haines Artist Reception
ARBOR FAMILIAE opens with an Artist Reception with Rebecca Haines at Giacobbe-Fritz on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Friday August 5th from 5 - 7 pm. IMAGE: Rebecca Haines • Listen with Your Eyes (When Trickery Steals Your Ears) • oil on panel • 18 x 12"
Time & Location
Aug 05, 2022, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Giacobbe-Fritz Fine Art, 702 Canyon Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87501, USA
About the Event
Family is a unique and complex social structure and means different things to different people. For me, it’s about where we come from and who we come from and with whom we share our hearts and days and experiences. Who are our relations, our kin? Both biological and chosen. And not just from our human species (Homo sapiens) but farther back…to our animalian roots. To the place where we originated along with all the other creatures that populate (or once did) our amazing planet Earth.
I have a strong visceral connection to these beings, these other life forms, of which we share multiple qualities and behaviors…needs and desires…organic elements and DNA. I recognize in them a deeply potent essence that I also possess but can’t truly articulate in words. I can, however, express this connection through my non-verbal paintings. The way our eyes connect to theirs seems to ignite this ancient familial bond. It somehow helps us…remember. And we desperately need to remember our bone-and-blood connections rather than focus on our surface differences.
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read: “To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.” I sincerely hope that my work helps people recall and acknowledge our shared ancestry with these exquisite creatures, and value that connection to the point that we honor it enough to equate the fate of their lives with the fate of our own.
These creatures before you are part of my Family Tree. - Rebecca Haines

Maynard: Robins need to beat freeze
The Robins are without a win in any of their last five outings and Maynard is keen to appease supporters who are becoming increasingly critical of manager Gary Johnson. But the freezing temperatures which have swept across the UK have served only to increase the pressure on the City players with their last two scheduled games - at home to Cardiff and away to Crystal Palace - being postponed. The 11-goal top scorer told the Bristol Evening Post: "We're going through a bit of a sticky patch and, when that happens, you always want the next game to come around quickly so you can put things right. "We desperately want to get back to winning ways and, with every game which is called off, the wait just gets longer and longer." He added: "If the game does get called off at the last minute, at least we know we have done everything we can to make ourselves ready for it."

Laughing Dog Studios' Art Space, "Gallery at Laughing Dog", presents "Kelly Lonergan: Recent Paintings".
Our "Arm Chair ArtWalk" will be presented at the top of our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LaughingDogTshirtsAndGifts FRIDAY JUNE 5. Please "stop by"! The show will also be available to view in person by appt~see details below.
We are very pleased to showcase recent works in oil on canvas by Kelly Lonergan. Originating in sketchbook drawings, Kelly's scenes of human figures show "outward activities while revealing something going on inside the figures as well. States of consciousness are somewhat altered, whether through reading, a trance, or dancing. Stylistically the paintings are representational, but not realistic. The resulting world, while resembling outward appearances, resonates with unknown realms within us."
All in-person arts events for Downtown Harrisonburg's First Fridays have been canceled for Friday June 5. However, we hope you'll be able to participate in the First Fridays Armchair Artwalk, FRI JUNE 5th 5-8pm, featuring virtual gallery experiences presented by participating downtown venues and Arts Council of the Valley.

According to sworn statements by Cynthia Collier and the couple’s four adopted children, Randall Collier had reportedly been out of the house for nearly 10 years.
Randall sought partial custody, while his wife sought full custody, trying to see to it that the children’s father was not involved in their family moving forward.
The couple went back and forth earlier this year with dual filings until May when the husband and wife voluntarily dropped their divorce filings.
News 2 has reached out to both their attorneys to ask why this is, and if they were reconciling. Neither party is able to comment.
Authorities said Cynthia Collier killed her four teenage children inside their Columbia home on Monday before turning the gun on herself.
Police have not released a motive.

United Steelworkers (USW) local unions at Asarco in Tucson, Ariz., contributed to the Congressional campaign of attorney Wenona Baldenegro, a Democrat from Arizona. Ms. Baldenegro, the first American Indian to graduate from Arizona State University’s prestigious Barrett Honor’s College, is attempting to become the first American Indian woman to serve in Congress.
Ms. Baldenegro’s platform focuses on promoting jobs, supporting local businesses and helping to save federal programs. Ms. Baldenegro, a Harvard Law School graduate, works as an attorney in Flagstaff and volunteers for numerous causes.
USW Director Bob LaVenture said Ms. Baldenegro has served her community and her goals as a lawmaker reflect those of unions.
“Ms. Baldenegro brings values to the campaign that we have not seen in a long time,” LaVenture stated. “She reminds us so much of politicians from years gone by that will go to D.C. and actually stand up for workers, working families and retirees. We proudly and wholeheartedly endorse her campaign.”

Venezuela is home to the largest oil reserves in the world. However, the vast amount of oil exports could not save Venezuela from the economic crisis it is now experiencing. The International Monetary Fund has predicted that the overall GDP for Venezuela will fall by 8 percent, and the inflation rate will rise by 720 percent in 2016. Economic turmoil has caused extensive damage to the country, and Venezuela is in need of change to help save the country from economic collapse.
Alejandro Velasco, an author and associate professor at New York University spoke with the WorldPost in response to questions about the disarray of the country and the reasons behind it. Velasco explains how Venezuela is dependent on its one resource commodity, oil, and therefore is unable to maintain economic stability due to untimely spending sprees by the government, and the lack of alternative ways for the country to profit other than oil. In addition to the spending habits of the Venezuelan government, Hugo Chavez played a substantial role in scaring off foreign oil companies and replacing people at the state-owned oil companies with those who would be loyal to him. Venezuela is experiencing the consequences of a corrupt government, and the country has swayed far from a stable nation.
To put into context of how serious this economic crisis is in Venezuela, many necessities to life have been cut off, or are severely limited. Government offices have resorted to staying open only two days a week to save electricity, and clocks have been pushed forward a half an hour in order to save light at night. In addition to the lack of electricity, there are serious food shortages, and water has become extremely scarce in the last couple of weeks. The failing economy and the lack of formal necessities has sparked an abundance of black markets in Venezuela.
As for the collapsing economy, many question what other countries are going to do. China, one of Venezuela’s greatest economic supporters, could potentially halt its loans to Venezuela, which could cause an immediate failure of the state. China has provided roughly $125 billion of aid or loans to Venezuela since 1990. As for now, Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro has extended the state of economic emergency, and believes it will remain in a state of emergency for the rest of 2016 and possibly 2017.
