Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Every season, Paris sees a whole new batch of hotels open their doors, which can make it hard to keep up. These last few months, the French capital has welcomed offshoots of international big hitters, including a Bvlgari hotel with a sense of service that'll be hard for other properties to match, and a first urban property for Cheval Blanc. Revamps of the Saint James chateau-hotel and historic Lancaster have also made it onto the list, as well as openings of smaller boutique hotels for explorers looking to put a different spin on the city. Bvlgari Hotel Paris About as haute as it gets, the Bvlgari Paris opened earlier this year, joining locations across the world from Bali to London. Sporting a seriously sleek look that screams Italian glamor without so much as a hint of rococo, the brand, that is set to continue its expansion on home ground in Rome, Tokyo and Los Angeles, has discreetly glided into the top spot when it … [Read more...] about Inside Paris’ New Crop Of Chic Hotels: 8 Places To Stay

Lovlina Borgohain and Nikhat Zareen in Birmingham. (Image: Twitter/nikhat_zareen) “Who’ll be the next Mary Kom?” It was a question that weighed heavy on the minds of Indian boxing coaches. At the Tokyo Olympics, Lovlina Borgohain put her name in contention as a possible answer to that question, becoming only the second woman (after Kom , who else?) to win an Olympic medal. Also read: Morning Stars | Lovlina Borgohain: Sting like a bee, sleep like a baby Earlier this year, Nikhat Zareen announced herself as a major contender when she became only the fifth Indian woman to win the world title , ending a 16-year wait for an Indian not named Mary Kom to win the world championship. Kom has won it a record six times of course, but the last time someone else won it was back in 2006, when Sarita Devi, Jenny RL and Lekha KC all won gold when India hosted the worlds (caveat: taking nothing away from their accomplishments, but in amateur boxing’s universally criticized … [Read more...] about 2022 Commonwealth Games: Nikhat Zareen has her sights set on Paris 2024

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin With new exciting restaurants opening almost daily, Paris is still the world’s culinary capital. However, while many do serve top-of-the-range cuisine, not every restaurant delivers. This fall, I’ve been busy trying the seven new restaurants everyone’s talking about in Paris right now to bring you the lowdown. 1. Le Camondo, a historic gem with a country club atmosphere close to Monceau Park Le Camondo restaurant, Paris Le Camondo (c) Florian Corcos Dining options in the Monceau Park neighbourhood, an area composed primarily of offices, Haussmannian townhouses and embassies, are quite limited, so when Le Camondo opened with its pretty outdoor stone terrace, it was a blessing for locals. An upscale restaurant with a décor of cool and formality in equal measures, it's designed to please a mixed crowd ranging from business types to aristocrats. The restaurant adjoins the offbeat villa museum of … [Read more...] about Where To Eat In Paris: The 7 New Restaurants Everyone’s Talking About This Fall

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Paris-based Galerie Mitterrand has represented Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, celebrated for their surreal sculptures marrying art and design, for more than three decades. I speak with the gallery founder, Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand, about the careers of one of the 20 th century’s most prolific art couples. What are your thoughts on the art market of Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne and how it has evolved over the past few years? When did you start seeing demand for their works and what is driving their growing market? I think that the market is following the first impression I had and that many people had before me already in the 1960s and ’70s because the Lalannes were the last great art pillar. They had already very important private collectors, the best collectors from all over Europe, like the Agnelli family and the Rothschild family, and a few in New York, like de Ménil. They had also important interior … [Read more...] about Gallerist Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand On French Artists Claude And Francois-Xavier Lalanne

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Earth is suddenly spinning faster than since records begun and scientists will this week layout the real reasons for why. It’s a rare situation that could require the first-ever “drop second”—the official removal of a second from global time. A saving of 1.59 millseconds on the usual 24 hours on June 29, 2022 was followed on July 26, 2022 by a day that lasted 1.50 milliseconds less. Although 2021 was normal, in 2020 scientists recorded the 28 shortest days since 1960. ADVERTISEMENT This is all very puzzling for scientists, most of whom had thought Earth is decelerating over centuries. That’s what the atomic clocks have been measuring since they were first used in 1973. Our planet’s gradual slowing is thought to be largely down to the Moon, whose orbit of Earth creates a tidal friction that s gradually slows down the rotation of both Earth and the Moon. So why is Earth’s rotation suddenly speeding-up? The … [Read more...] about A New ‘Wobble’ By Earth Caused The Shortest Day Since Records Began, Scientists Say

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Washington DC does not lack for very good restaurants, but several of the best can claim to be under the control of one man. In the case of ten restaurants in the city, that master restaurateur is New Delhi-born Ashok Bajaj, who might be compared to New York’s Danny Meyer or Chicago’s Rich Melman, operators for whom the word “sufficient” is not to be found in their vocabularies. The Washington Post called him “a major force” on the fine dining scene; The New York Times called him “arguably the most successful restaurateur in Washington”; and GQ magazine named him one of the "50 Most Powerful People in Washington." Remarkably, Bajaj has achieved all he has by diverting from his safe zone of Indian cuisine into Italian, American and French, and my recent visit to Washington proved he’s lost none of his knack for quality control. He is known to his patrons and staff as a restaurateur who visits each of his … [Read more...] about With Ten Restaurants In DC, Ashok Bajaj Is The City’s Gastronomic Powerbroker

Paris. Milan. New York. Los Angeles: all fashion hot spots. Could Aurora be an up-and-comer on the scene? That’s a serious question to Skye Barker Maa and Lisa Ramfjord Elstun. The women come from different backgrounds and experiences, but they found each other through their mutual passion for fashion. They’re now building a business designed to help Colorado’s designers on their paths to success. The women hope Barker Maa’s Small Batch Manufacturing in Aurora will provide new and emerging local designers the opportunity to grow their businesses and create full-time jobs for the professionals who sew the clothes displayed on the racks and the runways. The key is in the name: “Small Batch.” Designers can work with local seamstresses and tailors to get what they need without having to put in a huge order. “You go to (Los Angeles) and they go, ‘Well, we don’t do less than 100. We don’t do less than 400.’ You can come to us and we’ll literally do five,” Barker Maa said. “The … [Read more...] about New York, Milan and Aurora?

Missouri Attorney General (AG) Eric Schmidt and 18 other Republican AGs are investigating BlackRock concerning the company’s push to place environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) standards on states’ pension funds, according to the AGs’ letter. The Republican AGs, including those from Arizona, Texas, Ohio and Montana, sent a letter to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink on Thursday claiming that BlackRock did not attempt to make money for states’ pensioners, but rather used funds to pressure companies to phase-out fossil fuels and comply with its climate agenda. The AGs allege that numerous of the firms’ actions ‘may violate multiple state laws’ as BlackRock may have an ulterior motive, particularly concerning its “climate agenda,” that differs from its public stances and statements.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin You need a new type of scorecard to accurately measure the wealth of Major League Baseball these days because team owners are scoring in so many different ways. Upshot: The average baseball team is now worth $744 million, 23% more than a year ago and the largest increase since we began tracking MLB finances in 1998. During the 2012 season, revenue (net of stadium debt service) rose 7%, to an average of $227 million per team. Operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) per team fell 9%, to $13.1 million, mainly due to higher player costs and stadium expenses (Forbes SportsMoney co-host Bob Lorenz and I discuss MLB's finances in the video that appears at the end of this post).
