Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin 8 Stunning Hotels from Eugene Levy’s ‘The Reluctant Traveler’ For a guy who ran a fictional motel on Schitt’s Creek , actor Eugene Levy sure doesn’t like to travel. Which is why his hilarious neuroses make for a great premise on the new Apple TV+ docuseries The Reluctant Traveler. Still, Levy has visited some pretty extraordinary properties for the show, including a treehouse in Finland, a tented camp in Costa Rica and a private paradise in the Maldives. After seeing these 8 stunning hotels from Levy’s The Reluctant Traveler , you’ll wonder what he was so hesitant about in the first place.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin What do you do when you are suddenly tasked with taking over the family farm? Locals know it as the farm with the little grass shack next to Pearlridge. Sumida Farm , a 95-year-old watercress farm on Oʻahu, that most locals toured in elementary school, is bordered by the retail stores, restaurants and parking lots of Pearlridge Center on three sides and a partially finished Honolulu Rail Transit Project, that hovers above busy Kamehameha highway on elevated tracks, on the fourth. The contrast between bright green rows of watercress against a backdrop of a shuttered Sears building with trains shooting through the sky for intermittent testing looks like something straight out of Blade Runner. How has a farm in the center of a shopping mall sustained four generations? Emi and Kyle Suzuki, who took over in March 2020, are figuring that out now, because with each generation a new iteration of the farm is born. … [Read more...] about Envisioning The Future And Sustaining A Legend At Sumida Farm

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Image via CrunchBase Tenaya Capital , a mid- to late-stage technology venture capital firm, has closed $372 million for its latest fund. Tenaya Capital VI, which was oversubscribed from its $300 million target, is the first fund the firm has raised since spinning out from Lehman Brothers in 2009. Tenaya has more than $1 billion under management including Tenaya IV ($300 million) and Tenaya V ($365 million). The firm wanted to keep the new fund at roughly the same size as its last one, believing that that is the right size for a firm with five partners, said general partner Tom Banahan . Tenaya invests in enterprise software, consumer Internet, IT infrastructure, communications and electronics. Tenaya IV was a top quartile fund and Tenaya V is on track to meet that mark as well, Banahan said. Tenaya, previously known as Lehman Brothers Venture Partners, was in the middle of historic events when … [Read more...] about Tenaya Capital Closes $372 Million For First Post-Lehman Fund

TOKYO  – Japan’s government is closely coordinating with the Bank of Japan and financial authorities overseas to prevent fallout from the crisis of confidence engulfing banks in the West, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday. Market turmoil in the wake of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank in the United States has also ensnared Credit Suisse and fueled fears of another global financial crisis. Japanese policymakers have so far stuck to the view that the possibility of another financial crisis is low. On Friday, Suzuki said he was closely watching financial markets in and outside of Japan and for any impact from problems in the banking sector in the West on the Japanese economy. “With the possibility of various risks in mind…the Financial Services Agency will closely coordinate with the Bank of Japan and financial authorities of other countries, while carefully watching the economy, financial markets and their effects on financial system,” … [Read more...] about Japan says closely coordinating with BOJ, overseas authorities on banking issues

Cody Bellinger finally hit his first spring home run — at least the first one that counted. Bellinger’s homer last week against Team Canada is not applied to Cactus League totals because it was an exhibition matchup. His home run Thursday, though, prevented the Cubs from getting shut out in a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Left-hander Drew Smyly went 4⅓ innings, giving up two runs on three hits. He walked one and struck out four batters. Jameson Taillon threw 72 pitches in a minor-league game against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday after his sim game was rained out Wednesday. He surrendered four runs and seven hits, walked one and struck out seven in five innings. Sox manager Pedro Grifol saw some positives from the rain that canceled Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants. “I didn’t plan the weather but when I saw it (in the forecast) a few days ago it was something that we thought would be good for us,” Grifol said Thursday. “Get another day (off), … [Read more...] about Cactus League report: Cubs catchers’ big-picture approach to competitions — and Oscar Colás tries out center field for Sox

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A retail renaissance is unfolding in Menlo Park, California, an upscale corner of Silicon Valley near Stanford University. More than a decade in the works, the $100 million-plus mixed-use development will feature two office buildings – SoftBank has leased the larger one – high-end apartments for Stanford faculty, and 35,000 square feet of retail space called Middle Plaza, which will be housed in a three-story building on the property. The land, which is owned by the university, sits along the El Camino corridor and was previously populated by car dealerships. This is the first upscale development of this size and scope, Stephen and Jared Silver, principals of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, said. The Silvers, who are managing and programming the retail and restaurant spaces at Middle Plaza, said the luxury retail and dining experience will open in the fourth quarter. Along with the late visionary real estate mogul, John … [Read more...] about Middle Plaza Wants To Be Silicon Valley’s Answer To Rodeo Drive

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In the $30 billion rescue attempt of First Republic on Friday, Too Big To Fail Banks led by J.P. Morgan Chase, Citi, and Bank of America BAC finally stepped up to help stave off a crisis. Days earlier, in the stunning government seizure of Silicon Valley Bank and crypto lender Signature Bank SBNY , the Fed, FDIC, and Treasury were the stars. But a separate cast of unsung heroes also was at work, and this shows what private enterprise can do. Soon after SVB’s shares took a tumble in the after hours market on Wednesday night, March 8, sending a wave of fear across thousands of customers, fintech firms started working to help cash-strapped startups meet payroll—and win new business for themselves. JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citi and other giants have always seemed reluctant to serve Silicon Valley tech startups that have limited collateral and who burn more cash than they make. In this crisis, the traditional banks … [Read more...] about Silicon Valley Bank & First Republic: Crisis Meets Opportunity

(Photo: Shutterstock) You never want to see the words "gonorrhea" and "super" in the same sentence, such as "super, you have gonorrhea" or "gonorrhea is super." However, "super" gonorrhea is becoming an increasing reality around the world. Super gonorrhea is not the next DC Comics television show or movie, like Superman or Supergirl . It is a sexually transmitted bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, that is resistant to most if not all the antibiotics that we have available. A slang term for gonorrhea is "the clap"...but no one is clapping about the around 78 million new gonorrhea infections that occur each year. As a just-released World Health Organization (WHO) report explains , "data from 77 countries show that antibiotic resistance is making gonorrhea–a common sexually … [Read more...] about Super Gonorrhea Is Spreading: What’s Oral Sex Got To Do With It

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin One of the original brains behind the World Baseball Classic says he and the organizers of the global tournament never intended the event to be a one-and-done showcase of elite baseball talent. “This was not expected to be a one-off,” says Bob DuPuy, the former Major League Baseball president and chief operating officer. “(The 2006 WBC) was the inaugural version that would evolve as we learned about it, and learned what worked.” Now, almost two decades after the 2006 version — which ended with Japan winning the championship game against Cuba — the 2023 World Baseball Classic is generating plenty of excitement and patriotic fervor, not to mention renewed criticism. From Team TISI USA’s dramatic come-from-behind victory over Venezuela to propel the Americans into the ‘23 semifinals against Cuba, to the public outcry over injuries to stars like Edwin Diaz and Jose Altuve, there is no shortage of debate as to the … [Read more...] about Despite Critics And Detractors, World Baseball Classic Endures And Continues To Grow Sport

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Sushirrito, a San Francisco-based restaurant that has four brick-and-mortar locations and 10 as part of a licensing agreement with Local Kitchens, a micro food hall, specializes in burrito-sized sushi with Japanese and Latino influences. But it expanded too quickly in the same geographic area and was forced to close three of its four San Francisco brick and mortar stores in 2021 and 2022 and opened up two outlets in New York in 2016 and 2017, near Union Square and Times Square, whose leases were also not renewed. ADVERTISEMENT Peter Yen, its co-founder with chef Ty Mahler, worked for a private equity firm in 2004 that invested in food and food manufacturing companies, and noticed that sushi restaurants had not been “fast-casualized.” That was because traditional sushi, which combined nigiri (rice molded by hand) with cut rolls, could not be made fast enough to fit a fast-casual format.
