Our work has a side effect that we did not anticipate when we started TCH in 2004. From the start, we were clear that we do not want to follow or predict trends – we trust our own instincts and feature what we feel deserves to be featured. Plain and simple. But what we did not envision is that we seem to be creating trends.
We have created a trend of success for the creatives, designers, architects, artists, brands and entrepreneurs we have featured on our pages. By giving them the exposure and attention they did not previously enjoy, we have created trends that include their work, their style and their ideas.
Each week we receive excited emails from the individuals and brands we have featured reporting massive spikes in traffic on their websites, and avalanches of international enquires from agencies, retailers and other potential clients wanting to get their hands on their work.
Most of them also report being inundated with enquiries from the other international media - major magazines and newspapers who rely on The Cool Hunter and other great blogs to find content for their pages.
It's all part of the blog effect that has revolutionized global media and the practice of journalism. Print can no longer compete in terms of reporting information first. By the time newspapers and magazines hit news-stands, their content is old news, hence why they - and you - subscribe to our newsletter. And it is all free.
Blogs have become a crucial resource for other media, who rely on them to supply the raw, uncensored, immediate information they cannot afford or just simply don't know how to find.
We receive daily emails from major publications asking us for high-res images and more information on posts, which we then see covered in their pages weeks or months later.
The world's most powerful mastheads, the Vogues, Vanity Fairs, BBC, CNN, and New York Times' of the world, now compete with the increasingly influential blogs not just for news and content, but for advertising dollars as growing slices of marketing budgets are being funneled into the blogs..
The bottom line is that blogs reach more people than print media.
Here at The Cool Hunter, we are happy to report that much of the benefit of our influence as an information source flows straight back to the people and brands we feature.
For the past seven years we've endeavoured to bring our readers the most inspiring stuff from across the globe and we are thrilled that the exposure we have provided has helped launch careers, build media profiles and taken businesses to a new, global level.
TCH is the world's most-read culture and design site, a leading authority on all things creative and a truly global hub for what's cool, thoughtful, innovative and original.
We thought we'd share some of these stories with you from a selection of posts.
"Almost immediately after TCH featured my paper sculptures, my email inbox became flooded with inquiries of every type. From magazine interviews, books and blogs, to a live radio interview in South Africa and a TV show on Fuji Television in Japan showing my sculptures. Inquiries have also included invitations to have exhibitions in Taiwan, China and Moscow, private commissions, and ad campaigns.
I was totally blown away by the power of the internet and the reach that TCH has to every corner of the World. Literally! Paris, London, Italy, Poland, Prague, Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Azerbaijan, India, Amsterdam, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, Iran, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan, Finland, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, USA ... I'm sure I missed someone. :)
I've been making paper sculptures for more than 28 years now, had exhibitions in Japan, China and the US. But never have I ever gotten this much attention before and probably never would have if not for TCH! Thank you TCH! I am humbled and filled with gratitude." Jeff Nishinaka
"The first symptom was a peak of high fever in the statistics, followed by a rash of e mails : a flush of enthusiastic feed back as enquiries erupted from everywhere.
Then the epidemic reached the Store with a regular stream of reproduction orders, before hitting the international press. A flurry of interviews from South Africa, London, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, USA.
Then it spread into work opportunities: Diadora shoes advertising in Italy, Burton snowboard, Music artists requests for CD covers.
And even though we get contacts from all over the world, it seems that the fever holds on as the high température is maintained through a constant flow of Australian contacts.
That's part of the visible Coolhunter effect and I don't want to be cured ! Thanks to Coolhunter and it 's team, and congratulation for having created such an extensive and powerful web of art and beauty addicts around the world". Francoise Neilly
Within 48 hours of being featured in this post Amsterdam-based architecture and interior design group i29 was flooded with emails from design publications around the world including Frame Mag (Netherlands), Monitor Mag (Russia) Elle Decoration (Romania) CASE da Abitare (Italy), LOFT publications (Spain) BOB magazine (Korea), GULF interiors (Dubai) De Architect (Netherlands), ONoffice (UK) Cover Magazine (Venezuela), Sisustajalehti (Finland) Vivenda (Netherlands) Maru Magazine (Korea) and plenty of other print media and numerous design blogs.
Dutch architects and interior designers Uxus recieved a "tenfold" increase in traffic to their website after we featured their project Merus Winery in California. Uxus was flooded by queries from magazines around the world, including Wallpaper (UK), Noblese Mag (Korea), Marie Claire (Brazil), GQ India, Casa Da Abitare (Italy) FX Mag (UK), Absolute Marbella (Spain), Home Journal Mag (Hong Kong), ID Mag (USA), The Shorlist (UK), Future Laboratory (UK) and many more.
"What an honour to be featured in such an extraordinary, tasteful site!
The power of the internet and the incredible reach TCH has in the world, was an unexpected surprise several weeks ago, when I opened my morning emails!
It was an instant rush ~ numerous sales from my online Etsy shop, as well as gallery enquiries and interview requests. To date, I have been written up in a number of international magazines, blogged by well-known journalists, stylists and receive countless messages full of compliments and good wishes!
There has been a fun collaboration with a photographer along with another TCH discovery, MiiR bottles. A very large print installation created by a Greek Architect firm for a client's home, a Random House book cover assignment and an invite to be featured as a watercolor artist in a new Chronicle book about 'new watercolorists', to be published sometime in 2012!
This has been an amazing year, since starting out as a self representing artist only 13 months ago.
I am so grateful for the expose you have given me TCH. Thank you for all your incredible support....this is a fantastic journey, I am so excited about the future!" - Cate Parr
"Being on The Cool Hunter has resulted in a handful of opportunities - the NYTimes being one of them. After my work was posted on the site and I was commissioned to design an image for the cover of New York Times real estate magazine. My exposure on The Cool Hunter has allowed me to quit my day job." Andy Gilmore
"It's because thanks too The Cool Hunter I've been featured in over 50 magazines that can be viewed on my website under editorials on the information page. The lights even ended up in Argentinean Playboy! Along that I also have generated many jobs within Australia, many o/s enquiries and an actual job in San Francisco.
I'm about to move out of my studio in my garage into a real studio which allows me to employ staff, too as business is growing fast and I desperately need more space as well as extra hands. So I can't begin to tell you how much I thank you for making me famous!" Volker Haug
"The opportunities that thecoolhunter.net feature has provided me are beyond what I could have ever imagined. Not only did it kick start my career as an artist, but it did so almost overnight. I'm a graphic artist for network TV as my day job and fine art was solely a hobby. The day the feature came out I literally woke up, looked at my phone and had about 100 emails asking for information about the piece. Within a couple of weeks the stats for my website showed over 300 other websites linking to me and nearly a half million visitors to my site from over 60 countries.
I was written up in a number of international publications and was offered paid corporate speaking engagements such as at Disney animation. I just completed my first solo gallery show but have also had my artwork featured at 2 additional art galleries in group exhibitions. Additionally, I am working on commissioned pieces for international buyers all of whom found me on thecoolhunter.net. Currently my art is being considered for a feature film in which it would appear in a high end home. I am also about to show some pieces in homes for sale in the 10 million dollar plus price range.
There are no words I can use to express my gratitude for the exposure that you have provided for me." Matt Bilfield, artist
"Being featured on The Coolhunter has certainly increased awareness and understanding of Aesop to a very appropriate and progressive audience. Posts have resulted in communication with Case Da Abitare, Harpers Bazaar, Virgin Blue Voyeur, Surface, DIDD (industry), GDR (industry), A4 (Poland), Attitude (Portugal), BMW Magazine (Germany). Belle (Australia), Marie Claire (Australia), Cubes (Singapore) too many to list." Indi Davis - Aesop
"When TCH approached us to feature Saffire Freycinet on their website, we were thrilled. We understood the power of endorsement from such a popular brand and were happy to have founder Bill Tikos stay with us in our opening week. What we weren't prepared for was the response to his post. The number of times his glowing review was re-blogged throughout the world was astounding. We have had media requests from as far a field as Mexico and Brazil, as well as throughout Europe and Asia, and we have no doubt that the far-reaching communications of The Coolhunter extended our brand beyond our wildest dreams considering we were within the first month of operation." Matt Casey, General Manager". Saffire Freycinet
"The response from across the world to the images of my sculptures after being posted on TCH has been beyond amazing! As well as several actual books and and on line magazines picking up on the work worldwide, I have also recently been offered the chance to show some work at the Royal Academy with the 'Sketch' organisation. I have also just met (in London) curators from New York who are planning collaborations in New York Germany and Istanbul. The Cool Hunter is experienced by them as cutting edge in cultural terms and they watch it's output regularly. The ripple effect of the posting is still on and looks likely to do so probably well into the future. I now have work 'within the same general walls' as Tracey Emin, Sophie Calle, Anthony Gormley, Stuart Hagarth (Haunch of Venison Gallery) . which is being seen by their audiences. It's been great and thank you!". Robert Bradford.
"Ever since being featured on The Cool Hunter, interest in my work has increased massively. I've been contacted by several people from students, other designers and design blogs to magazines, books and brands, which have lead to some successful commissions with great clients. Other than my own personal work and portfolio site, The Cool Hunter has also helped my additional online project Random Got Beautiful gain a lot of attention. I now get photo submissions every week for the site. Although I was featured over a year ago and again several months ago, I still receive a high proportion of visits from The Cool Hunter site. The exposure has been very significant. Thanks a lot! - Nikki Farquharson"
"The Coolhunter effect" is incredible! FieldCandy website traffic increased ten fold during the weeks following TCH feature. Sales enquires grew dramatically, as did the geographic spread of orders, with Russia, South America and the Middle East currently equalling our more traditional markets. Media enquiries, both on and off-line have increased significantly from around the globe.
Interestingly, other less obvious opportunities have been directly associated to TCH effect. FieldCandy was invited to display our Outstanding tents at the Grammy Awards in LA, leading to important celebrity endorsements. Several major companies have approached us to 'own brand' tents for their marketing and promotional purposes, and we are in talks with several well respected retailers and e-tailers.
Most importantly for a design led brand, Fieldcandy is now working with many designers and artists from around the world, some well know, other less so, but the long term benefit for Fieldcandy, caused by TCH effect is quite astounding.
Many thanks - John - FieldCandy founder
Eight weeks ago, our Facebook (FB) page (facebook.com/thecoolhunter) with all of its content and our 788,000 fans – resources we have created and nurtured meticulously over the past five years - was gone.
Not blocked or invisible, but completely gone. Disabled. "Page does not exist." No explanation, flimsy warnings, no instructions on what to do next. None of our numerous attempts to rectify the situation and resurrect the page have worked.
And because we suspect there are other businesses in the same bind, we are writing this to seek help and encourage open conversation. This is not a minor problem. This is a huge issue and potentially fatal to businesses. We feel that FB must change its one-sided, secret policies and deal with us, and others like us, openly and fairly.
(Image found on Facebook without image credit.)
Important part of our business
Up till that day eight weeks ago, our FB fan base increased by about 1,500 to 2,500 per day, and the page generated more than 10,000 click-throughs to our site, TheCoolHunter.net (TCH), per day.
TCH is an almost eight-year-old design and pop-culture site. We have 2.1 million monthly site visits, a 186,000-strong newsletter subscriber list that reads like the Who-Is-Who of the design and marketing media. We have 247,000 Twitter and 100,000 Instagram followers.
But our Facebook presence has been a unique and extremely important part of our strategy. It is the water cooler of our global community. Losing our FB page is not just a minor hick-up. It is a serious loss of connection and interaction, and of a massive amount of content.
We post items on FB that may not make it to the actual blog, giving hundreds of artists and designers exposure, and thousands of fans something new to see. Our FB page provides the interaction, comments and ideas that help us keep our editorial fresh. It helps us generate ideas for our weekend playlists, gives us tips for our world tours on what to do and see in each city. Most important, our FB community keeps us on our toes, generates great ideas and feedback, and lets us know when we are on the right track.
Our FB community is truly global. At any time of day or night, we would get immediate reactions from hundreds of fans around the world on pretty much any question we would ask. It has become crucially important to us to stay connected in this way. It is a vital link to our community.
Since our page has been disabled, we have also receive hundreds of emails and messages daily from fans worrying where we have gone.
(Image found on Facebook without image credit.)
What did we do?
In essence, we want to know this: What did we do? How do we rectify it? We have never intentionally broken any FB rules and we are willing to do whatever it takes to get our page back. But we do not have the answers and we do not know how to get them. We have tried everything in our power, and we are getting nowhere.
We had a momentary glimpse of hope when we asked for help via Twitter. The young and savvy Nina Mufleh @ninamufleh contacted us and said she could help reinstate it. And she did! We got our page – minus its content. In five days, we had more than 400,000 fans back. But then FB disabled it again. Again, no email, no warning - just gone. That's when we started to get really annoyed.
Infringement of what?
When our page was initially disabled, we contacted FB. The only response we received was "This user was disabled for repeat IP infringement." We have no idea what we were infringing on. Which image/s or posts, specifically, have caused this?
We know of only two infringements – two situations where FB closed our account , and we argue strongly that they were not infringements at all.
The problem with this is that you don't know if what you are posting could irk FB.
But even if FB disagrees with the images we posted, are two images enough to kill our account with no chance of recourse?
The other reason that could have caused the closure of our FB page is that we sometimes use images even when we do not know who has taken the picture.
With FB, Tumblr, Pinterest and all the other image-sharing opportunities today, millions of people and organizations share images – theirs and someone else's - freely every day. We WANT to give credit always, but in many cases we cannot find that information. On our "About Us" page and on our (now extinct) FB page we specifically state that if we have posted an image that belongs to you, we want to know, so that we can give you the appropriate credit.
Similar issues were discussed in a Huffington Post article here:
If they made any sense at all, they would give you us the contact info of the person who is complaining, so that we can resolve the issue with them. Right now, a completely anonymous and faceless Facebook tells you that a completely anonymous and potentially even false third party has complained about your page. Why can they not be open?
We have no idea why openness is such a foreign thing to them. And more important, we cannot believe that they think that everyone who clicks "share" on FB has checked that they personally have the right to post that image! That is a ridiculous idea. If people did that, FB would not be the business it is. It would be a tiny little official online group of insiders who share each others' images and copy. Facebook is founded on FREE SHARING. They make their money based on that sharing.
The key point is that absolutely every one of us has posted images AND COPY whose author we do not know and whose authors' permission we do not have. Facebook is built on this sharing. As are pretty much all other social media platforms. So, why do they attack a few and not all, if they are the police?
Bottom line: We need and want our Facebook account back. But we do not know how.
Do you? Do you have a back-up plan for if this happens to your business? Can you be sure it won't happen to you? We think not.
It seems ridiculous to severely penalize a business for doing what most Facebook users do daily.
UPDATE: Media coverage:
Do you subscribe to our newsletter? Because sometimes, all it takes is one visual to stimulate your creativity, one grand design that will make you think differently or one idea that will simply inspire you to make things happen.
We offer a lot more visual goodies like these - just sign up (its free)
THANK YOU to our first half-a-million Facebook fans! We are excited about and challenged by your interest in what we do, your comments and your feedback!
With over 2.5 million page views per month on our site, the most popular articles generating more than 8 million views, 168,000 newsletter subscribers and 123,500 followers on Twitter, what else can we do but work even harder, and to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! - Bill TIkos

Forget thinking outside the box. Forget the box. Where brands need to go today, there is no box.
As consumers, we are all skeptical, cynical and tired of being marketed at. We crave relevance, value, real connection, engagement, something surprising, an experience. And we crave entertainment that is worth our while. The success of Avatar, Toy Story 3, Cirque du Soleil or the iPad, or the virtual runaways of Evian Rollerbabies or Old Spice, testify that no matter how depressed the economy, how uncool conspicuous consumption, we happily spend our hard-earned money and our scarce time on entertainment, products, ideas and campaigns that pick us up, dazzle us, and give us more that we imagined.
With social media, the experience economy has exploded to cover every type of brand, nearly all socio-economic groups, and almost every part of the world. Everything has sped up and amplified. By the time traditional marketing catches up to an idea, the leading edge of consumers has seen it somewhere already, moved on, and told everyone else about it.
Now more than ever before, brands need to be fast, smart and way ahead of the curve to speak directly and engagingly to each consumer segments. That's where Access comes in.
This week, TCH launches TCH Singapore which joins our list of geo-targeted sites - TCH UK and TCH AUS.
A big welcome also to our Brazilian readers. As of this week, TCH will have a weekly column in O Estado de S. Paulo, one of the most important newspapers in Brazil with a daily readership of 1 million.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the numerous print magazines/newspapers that have published feature stories on TCH and our numerous projects.
We're getting ready to launch the real estate portal of TCH next month - The Cool Hunter Living, an uber-luxe real estate listings portal which connects vendors to a discerning, hard-to-reach market of high-income architecture and design aficionados.
For the first time, The Cool Hunter Living gives vendors access to this hard-to-reach market. The site also offers vendors an unparalleled opportunity to "position" their properties amongst the best and most luxurious in the world, endorsed by the highly-credible voice of The Cool Hunter, which has become a global authority on design.
The Cool Hunter Living offers technology savvy agents and vendors a new way to market their properties in a "designer" online environment, unlike other 'real estate' sites which are pitched at a mainstream audience and offer low value aesthetics in terms of site design.
TCH Living showcases properties in an unparalleled design-led, online-editorial environment positioned amongst the world's great architecture and design. Properties will be hand picked by our editorial team. For pricing, more info - contact [email protected]
We'll also be adding rentals and commercial properties, so next time you find yourself in a new city setting up an office and home, you'll have to look no further than TCH Living - a gateway to inspiring design you live in.
The web's most read culture, architecture and design site will soon launch in early 09, The Cool Hunter Living, an uber-luxe real estate listings portal which connects vendors to a discerning, hard-to-reach market of high-income architecture and design aficionados.
Since its inception in 2004, thecoolhunter.net has amassed a global readership consisting of close to 1 million unique visitors a month who visit the site for the absolute latest in innovation and inspiration in all disciplines of design - from the most awe-inspiring architecture to the coolest new artists and products.
The site's subscriber list reads like a who's-who of the international design, media, fashion, architecture and publishing industries. For the first time, The Cool Hunter Living gives vendors access to this high end market. The site also offers vendors an unparalleled opportunity to "position" their properties amongst the best and most luxurious in the world.
Also, in 09, we'll launch The Cool Hunter Hotel booking service, an online store, global job lists, Cool Hunter TV, magazine, retail stores and some major offline events. We're eager to see our efforts translated into major global markets such as India, China, Japan, Singapore, Italy, Brazil and more. STAY TUNED!
New site designed by TCH Design
The World's Coolest Hotel Rooms - the first in a series of the cool hunter-branded books has just been published by Harper Collins Publishers (US). Next in the line will be The World's Coolest Houses, The World's Most Creative Work Environments, The World's Most Innovate Retail Stores, The World's coolest kids spaces/playgrounds and a few other special book projects.

We have found that most homeowners want to stay in their homes rather than downsizing, moving to assisted living, retirement villages or nursing homes. By instituting simple universal design techniques, as a professional Aging-in-Place specialist, we can insure that you live in your home comfortably, safely and independently.
Due to the record numbers of baby boomers reaching retirement age, many large manufactures started developing products to meet the needs of those "aging in place". Gone are the old industrial looking products, now you can have beautiful and decorative grab bars with matching towel bars, and faucets, that will match the architectural design of your home.
Call The Fix it Guys to go over your "aging in place" options and discover how we can help you regain the full use of your home.
Aging-related design is rapidly becoming one of the biggest issues in the industry—and designers can play a key role in improving the quality of life for a maturing population
By Sari Graven, ASID
For more than 40 years, my aunt and uncle lived in a lovely little house in La Jolla, CA. It was the quintessential Sunset home—a low-slung, mid-century modern dwelling that, when it was being built, had my uncle's friends and family shaking their heads saying, "Hire an architect? That's crazy!"
In its now classic style, the house represented who they were and how they lived—open, natural and modest, with clear connections to their surroundings. They and their iconic home were the focal point of our family. How troubling it was, then, to see it become difficult for them to inhabit as they moved into their eighth decade of life.
One-step level changes, throw rugs, stairs, walls of glass, standard height toilets and other features we take for granted in good health become a series of hazards and barriers when eyesight begins to fail, bones grow brittle, strength wanes and equilibrium wavers
Increasingly discouraged, our family grappled with how to deal with the issue, wanting more than anything for my aunt and uncle, the last of their generation, to be able to stay in their beloved home. This was more than 10 years ago, and resources were scarce. I landed on the idea of tapping a friend who, as an occupational and physical therapist, conducted home evaluations in service of accommodating physical challenges.
My friend observed my aunt and uncle in their home for three days and then, with great compassion, suggested new routines, taught strategies for coping (e.g., ways to get up if they fall) and proposed changes to the home.
As we consulted medical supply catalogues for grab bars and other helpful features, it became clear to me just how limited the tool set was for making changes in ways that respected their home and lifestyle. Moreover, what an opportunity that lack presented for designers! Can't we retrofit a house without making it feel like a hospital?
"Aging in Place" is a major opportunity for interior designers. It is also one of four ASID platform issues (and the final one I'll discuss in this column, after covering legislation, education and sustainability).
We can make a difference in this arena. While many organizations are nibbling around the edges of aging-related design—from AARP and NAHB to AIA—none has taken on a defining role; no particular profession or organization "owns it," and none has more to offer (or to gain) than ASID and its members.
Right now, our Design for Aging Council, chaired by Kerrie Kelly, is in the early stages of exploring how interior designers can meet the needs and wishes of an older population, as well as how the "age wave" will affect interior design across all areas of practice and specialty.
It's already clear that design for aging offers a host of new business avenues, including certification opportunities, interesting partnership possibilities and different revenue sources related to new services and products. Above all, addressing older people's in-home needs manifests the Society's vision of interior design as a means for "enhancing the psychological, economic and physical quality of people's lives"—a core value at ASID.
"This is as big as sustainability," says Kelly. The vision? Lead a collaboration with other industry professionals—from builders and manufacturers to occupational therapists and elder advocates—toward the formation of a central authority on the topic of aging in place—or as Kelly's clients like to say, "aging in motion."
My uncle was able to stay in his home until he died. My aunt eventually needed to move to an assisted living facility. But the changes we made, working together as designer and medical professional, allowed them stay in their home for as long as they did—a priceless gift of comfort, dignity and sanctuary in their final years, and a gift for us, the generations they had nurtured for so many years.

Historical note
The Rhode Island Select Commission on Race and Police-Community Relations was established by Executive Order 00-3 by Governor Lincoln Almond on April 6, 2000. The Executive Order was issued following the shooting death of Providence Police Department Sergeant Cornel Young, Jr.
Sergeant Young was off duty on January 28, 2000 at Fidas Restaurant in Providence when a disturbance was started by other restaurant patrons. Sergeant Young, who was in plainclothes, observed a suspect with a gun confronting two officers. With his gun drawn, Sergeant Young approached them to offer assistance. The officers did not recognize him and ordered him to drop his gun. When he did not drop the weapon, the officers fired, striking him. Sergeant Young was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Sergeant Young was promoted to the rank of Sergeant posthumously. Sergeant Young had been with the Providence Police Department for less than three years at the time of his death. There was a great community outcry following Sergeant Young's, an African-American, shooting death at the hands of two white Providence Police Officers.
The Rhode Island Select Commission on Race and Police-Community Relations consisted of fifteen (15) members of which thirteen (13) members were assigned by the Governor and two (2) members were appointed by the General Assembly. The Commission was charged with:
• independently reviewing the issues surfacing from the shooting death of Sergeant Cornel Young, Jr.; including but not limited to impacts of investigations into that tragedy;
• analyzing police-community relations in Rhode Island, and making specific recommendations for their improvement;
• studying and recommending changes needed to statutes, ordinances, institutional policies, procedures and practices deemed necessary to:
o improve law enforcement work and
o accountability;
o reduce racism;
o enhance the administration of justice;
o affect reconciliation between diverse segments of the statewide community.
The Commission had the authority to hold hearings as necessary to request and review any public information the Commission deemed necessary for its work, including the review of any public information, documents and testimony related to the investigation of the death of Sergeant Cornel Young, Jr. The responsibilities of the Commission included, but were not limited to reviewing and recommending changes that significantly improve current police policies, procedures and practices related to:
• recruitment, hiring and training of police officers;
• the level and quality of diversity training, sensitivity awareness and cultural competency;
• the level and quality of efforts related to building and improving overall community relations;
• the use of firearms by on-duty and off-duty police officers;
• the use of excessive force;
• the use of racial profiling; and legislation reforming police policies, procedures or community relations.
The Commission was to submit a final report to the Governor and the General Assembly no later than May 1, 2001 and Executive Order 00-3 limited the Commission to functioning until May 31, 2001 unless its mission and work was extended by the Governor.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Led by junior Larry Thomas with 22 points, the Birmingham-Southern men's basketball team opened its season at home Friday evening with a 78-66 victory against Spalding University in the first game of the annual Black Tie Classic, hosted by the Panthers in Bill Battle Coliseum.
It was the season opener for both teams. Spalding will face Emory University tomorrow at 4 p.m., and BSC will take on Emory on Sunday at 3 p.m.
The game was close for the first 10 minutes of play, with BSC going up 5-2 early and then Spalding taking a 10-5 lead by the 15:10 mark. The Panthers proceeded to score six straight points to go back up 11-10, and the teams traded baskets before BSC took a 13-12 lead at the 12:35 mark and would never trail again. The Golden Eagles trailed 17-16 at the 11:09 mark before the Panthers used a 12-0 run to go up 29-16 over the next five minutes, and BSC led by 19 at the half, 48-29.
BSC pulled ahead by 22 twice in the opening minutes of the second half for the largest lead of the game. Although the Panthers maintained a double-digit lead for the remainder of the game, Spalding was able to cut the lead back down to 12 with 3:43 left and then again after a three-pointer with nine seconds left in the game, bringing the final score to 78-66.
Thomas' 22 points led all players; he was 6-10 from the field including 3-6 from three-point range as well as 7-8 at the free throw line. Freshman Evan Lewis was also impressive in his collegiate debut, recording 13 points on 3-4 shooting from the field and 7-8 shooting at the charity stripe. Senior Schylar Freeman led on the boards with seven rebounds, sophomore Ross Welch led with five assists, and senior Jason Holland had four steals.
For Spalding, William Barber led with 16 points and Brandon Gabriel had 12 as well as a team-high five assists. Quayshaun Hamilton led the Golden Eagles with six rebounds.
BSC shot 56.8 percent (21-37) from the field including 33.3 percent (5-15) from beyond the arc. The Panthers hit 81.6 percent (31-38) from the free throw line. Spalding was not as effective, hitting 40.7 percent (24-59) from the field, 20 percent (4-20) from long range, and 77.8 percent (14-18) at the line.
Both teams struggled with turnovers—BSC had 20 and Spalding had 19—and the Eagles out-rebounded the Panthers 33-26.

The Belhaven Fund for Student Scholarships
A university's annual giving program is always the backbone of support for the institution and is the avenue for greatest impact in the comprehensive education of its students. Belhaven is no exception.
Every gift made to The Belhaven Fund has meaning and purpose for Belhaven students. With more than 92% of our undergraduate students receiving some degree of financial assistance, giving to this fund helps provide resources that help cover the gap between the costs of educating each student and the balance owed by each family.
Alumni participation is critical! In addition to the provision of resources that have an immediate impact for students, annual gifts help sustain Belhaven and maintain the University's viability as one of the leading Christ-centered institutions of higher learning in the nation. Also, the higher our alumni giving participation rate, the greater Belhaven's chances are of receiving major grants from regional and national foundations who consider that a major aspect of their criteria.
It is with a deep spirit of thankfulness we receive support from alumni and friends. While the amount given is an important determinant in the number of students supported, it is the act of making the gift that is the greatest blessing to both the giver and receiver.
Will you be a part of that blessing today with a gift to The Belhaven Fund?

Post-harvest technology transfer. Social exclusion and emancipatory development. Qualitative evaluation. Higher education curriculum design and governance. Building degree programs on Sustainable International Development.
ProfileLaurence Simon is Professor of International Development and Director of the Center for Global Development and Sustainability. He was the Founding Director of the Graduate Programs in Sustainable International Development from 1993 to 2014 and served as the Associate Dean for Academic Planning at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management from 2003 until September 2009. Dr. Simon currently serves on the Working Group, appointed by the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, for the design of a new university in Sri Lanka. Since 2018, he also serves as the Joint Editor-in-Chief of CASTE: A Global Journal on Social Exclusion.
Simon's research and teaching center on critical issues of social exclusion and emancipatory development. His current research focuses on psychological and cultural barriers to poverty reduction and on the role of social movements in development. In 2007, he took a leave from Brandeis to serve as the senior adviser on global poverty to the executive director of the Google Foundation. He has also been a Visiting Scholar at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University.
In the late 1970s, Dr. Simon was a program director for Oxfam America and launched its work in Central America and the Caribbean. Later as Oxfam's first director for policy analysis and advocacy, he helped usher in an era when major NGOs look critically at national and global aid and development policy. His research effort in 1981 on the impact of the U.S. financed El Salvador agrarian reform prompted a major investigation by The New York Times that resulted in Congressional hearings. Since then he has lectured widely in the United States, Europe and Asia on problems of landlessness and agrarian repression.
Dr. Simon founded the American Jewish World Service (AJWS) in 1984 and was its President until June 1989. At this time, he served on the executive committee of InterAction, the association of U.S. international development organizations.
During his AJWS years, and beyond, Dr. Simon collaborated with Israeli scientists Drs. Shlomo Navarro and Jonathan Donahaye, and the American disaster mitigation specialist, Frederick C. Cuny of Intertect, which resulted in sweeping innovation in the technology of emergency food relief and methods for on-farm and national grain storage. Simon directed the establishment and monitoring of UN World Food Programme field trials for elimination of losses of emergency grain en route to or in areas of famine. This work led to his founding of Grain Protection International, an NGO, for further R&D. Subsequently, Dr. Simon founded GrainPro Inc. which is today the leader in hermetic storage of durable grains and high value commodities eliminating chemical insecticides and the ozone-depleting fumigants mandated by the Montreal Protocol.
At the request of the Soros Foundation, the International Rescue Committee and Intertect, Dr. Simon worked on Sarajevo relief during the Serbian siege of the city assisting Fred Cuny to design and implement emergency winterization programs. Their major effort was the construction of a below ground water treatment plant that provided the only potable water for the city during the war. Sadly, Fred Cuny was killed on another Soros mission two years later in Chechnya.
In 1990 and 1991, Dr. Simon served as the resident evaluation officer for a joint United Nations Development Programme / World Bank national poverty alleviation program in Sri Lanka. He has also been an adviser to the World Bank on land reform.
His early career was at the City University of New York where he taught in a transitional year SEEK program to raise the academic skills of students from disadvantaged and minority communities. He taught at Fordham University where he served as Assistant to the Dean and administered the Third World Institute where he began his long association with the Brazilian social theorist Paulo Freire.
Laurence Simon earned his doctorate from the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University where he had previously received a Master's in International Development. His undergraduate degree was in philosophy at Queens College of the City University of New York. In 1997, the University of Judaism (now American Jewish University) conferred upon him the Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa. He also has studied philosophy and political theory at the New School for Social Research in New York under Horace Kallen, Hans Jonas and Hannah Arendt. Webpage

Bob Tatum Field is named after the first football coach of Trinity. Bob Tatum Field opened in September of 2001. The natural surface is irrigated and is one of the nicest football fields around. For home games, the fifty yard line is dominated by a large gold "T." A lion statue overlooks the south end of the field. This is a special place to be on Saturdays, from kickoff until the final whistle!
Practice Field
The practice field was also opened in 2001. Its sufficient space and close proximity to campus and Bob Tatum Field makes the field beneficial to the program.
Ray Ulmer Field House
Ray Ulmer Field House was named after a local businessman that donated funds to modernize the Field House in 1997. The Fieldhouse holds coaches offices, a training room, locker rooms, laundry room, and basketball arena. The basketball gym seats approximately 1,200 people. Ray Ulmer Fieldhouse underwent new renovations in 2011-2012 with the help from donors Avera St. Lukes' Hospital, Clarice and Ruben Liechty, Lana and Warren Schletcht and Priority One Partners. The new renovations were to the restrooms, the addition of two new offices, installation of new floor tile, renovation of both the men's and women's locker rooms, and improvement of existing offices. The biggest renovation to the RUF was to the gym floor. The floor received a much-needed facelift, which included an all new finish and color scheme with updates to the logos and floor design. The cost of the revamp to the gym floor was paid for by Avera St. Lukes.
Fern and Jon Liechty Fitness Center
The new fitness center covers 7,400 square feet and houses new state-of-the-art weight room equipment from Hammer Strength. The fitness room equipment was purchased through Life Fitness and includes treadmills, elliptical machines, and stationary bikes. The fitness center will also be the home to the new football locker room. The fitness center's name is in honor of the principal donor, Jon Liechty, Jamestown, ND, and his late wife, Fern. Sam & Joyce Johnson of PriorityOne, Lakeville, MN, and others have also contributed to the center. The Fern and Jon Liechty Fitness Center now connects three buildings together: the Ray Ulmer Fieldhouse, the Armory and Flemington Hall.
Training Room
The training room, located in Ray Ulmer Field House is a busy place during each season. In the training room, athletes can get their ankles taped or soak in one of our two whirlpools. We do our best to make sure that athletes are taken care of at Trinity Bible College. Care and prevention of athletic injuries is a must in today's sports world.

When there are bound to be celebs sitting around the pool at your lovely posh hotel, it's important to get the gear right! Here's the lowdown on what to pack for your luxury travel vacation, to make sure you fit the bill and match the clientele…1. The SwimsuitPoolside posing is a very big part of luxury travel breaks – and to hold your own amongst all the Chanel-clad guests, its best to hunt for a classic shape swimsuit yourself! Don't opt for a bikini – the cit can be very unflattering around all those yoga toned bodies. For men, the fashion is long, loose but not too loud. The surfer style trunks shouldn't be mistaken for Hawaiian, as crazy colors and patterns won't cut it.2. The iPhone and iPadAs you're definitely here to be seen on this vacation, it won't do to sit around all day with that old favorite of a paperback novel. To look important, you need the latest gadgets – it doesn't matter if you're playing games on the iPhone, concentrating on it is good enough for your image. And reading has taken on a whole new level – e-books on an iPad is the only way to go. Forget impracticality as water and sun screen slosh around, you're rich enough to afford a new one tomorrow anyway…3. The Big ShadesPracticality also goes out the window when it comes to designer eyewear. Don't worry about fit or shade, the bigger the better is the rule for sunglasses because only a somebody would hide behind such giant lenses, trying to slip past unobserved.4. The Evening WearIf you booked a luxury hotel, chances are the restaurant is a not a flip flops and bathing suit kind of place. Many top eateries at hotels will require a dress code so if you want to book a table, be prepared with smart shoes and jackets for men and a cocktail dress for women or you might be turned away by the staff.5. The Flashy Credit CardForget travelers cheques and notes – real stars pay with a members only credit card. Make sure yours is a nice matte black or silver, which are hallmarks of the best companies around, or else keep it hidden when you pay the bill. Chances are you'll need a big limit on it too if you're affording these mini bar prices!

Outreach Van stationed as police commissioner responds to 'community concenrs'
POLICE and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn has instigated additional partnership working in Llanelli in response to local concerns relating to substance misuse.
Dyfed Powys Police is proudly teaming up with Dyfed Drug and Alcohol Service (DDAS), Carmarthenshire County Council and CrimeStoppers Fearless campaign in order to engage with members of our community on a new outreach van, in order to support and signpost those in need during the festive period.
Each agency will be travelling together to Station Road in Llanelli in a new outreach van on Thursday December 12 and Monday December 16, and will be parked opposite the Premier store between 5pm and 9pm on both days.
Funded by Dyfed Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn, DDAS will be offering:
• BBV Testing for HIV, Hep B and C
• Referral into DDAS for treatment
• Naloxone kit dispensing
• Harm reduction advice
• Drug and alcohol education via drug box, beer googles, scratch and sniff cards
• Information on safer alcohol consumption over Christmas
Officers from the council's Homes and Safer Communities department will be in attendance to give information and advice on a range of issues including the regeneration plans for the Tyisha ward and how residents can have their say. They will also be able to advise on various housing options; and people will be able to discuss in confidence any housing matters they may have, for example, in relation to anti-social behaviour or noise nuisance.
The council's Communities for Work team will be offering:
• Support to develop your skills and gain experience
• Acquire the training and qualifications you need
• Find the right job
• Basic IT support
• Support with CVs and job applications
• Volunteer and work placement opportunities
• Health and wellbeing support
CrimeStoppers Fearless campaign workers, who are a dedicated young person's charity which support young people in giving information about crime 100% anonymously, will also be on board the van and keen to engage with any young person in the area. They will be educating youths about County Lines and the impact crime can have on their lives.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn stated: "I hope that this innovative delivery style of a dynamic outreach approach to substance misuse can become the norm in Llanelli in order to reduce the harm to individuals and the community. I continually listen to the communities I represent and respond."
Dyfed Powys Police officers will also be on hand at different intervals to offer crime prevention advice and listen to and provide help and support for any issues you experience in your community.
Chief Inspector Chris Neve of Dyfed-Powys Police said: "I am grateful to the Police and Crime Commissioner and our partners for their support in this new initiative, which I hope will be seen as a valuable opportunity for the communities of Llanelli to engage with the services involved. I encourage anyone who requires support and advice from any of the agencies, or would just like to chat with any of them, to come along and visit the van on either date. This really is an important opportunity – and we all as a collective want to help as many people in need as possible."
The council's Head of Homes and Safer Communities Jonathan Morgan said: "This is an excellent opportunity for the community to speak to our officers first-hand about any issues they may have or any advice they may need on housing matters. We have exciting plans to transform the Tyisha ward and the community is a big part of that, we want to make Tyisha a better place to live and work for everyone."
Llanelli Councillor Resigns from Plaid Cymru
Jordan Randall, Llanelli Rural Councillor for Swiss Valley says he has resigned from Plaid Cymru because he is disappointed with the choice of Plaid candidate again for the forthcoming General Election.
The full statement, sent to The Llanelli Herald today: "This is not a decision that I've taken lightly but one which has been a long time coming.
"I've had the privilege of being a Llanelli Rural Councillor in recent years to try my very best in making a difference where I can. I now look forward to continuing this work as an Independent Councillor for Swiss Valley, which will always be my priority.
"I've been very disappointed with the choice of Plaid candidate again for the forthcoming General Election. If the party is to make any progress in the Town, then it needs a candidate who is local to the area and actually understands the everyday issues which face our communities. We do not need someone who is completely out of touch and unfortunately just sees Llanelli as a stepping stone to advance their own career.
"Ongoing personal vendettas now seem to be the most important thing for Plaid Cymru at a local level. I no longer recognise the party. The party already lost a number of lifelong members in recent years due to the negativity locally. Astonishingly, they have also taken the decision to no longer have an all year round office presence within the Town.
"Calls for national leadership have simply gone unanswered, with new leader Adam Price unwilling to intervene in any way to try to achieve a way forward.
"I am also not happy and have been for some time with Plaid's position on Brexit as they are simply ignoring the wishes of the people of Llanelli as the Town overwhelmingly voted to leave in the referendum, a decision which whether people voted to Remain or Leave ought to be one which is respected.
"Party politics is broken but I remain committed to campaigning to improve our public services, helping to sort out any concerns and supporting ideas which will strengthen and grow our community."
Plaid's pro-EU Saturday push in Trimsaran
DUBBED Pro-EU Saturday, the 30th November in Trimsaran saw the local girl and MP candidate Mari Arthur, descend on her home village of Trimsaran, to draw attention to the £680million of European Union (EU) funds that Wales receives every single year.
The only Remain candidate in Llanelli, Mari Arthur was proudly joined by Plaid Cymru regional AM Helen Mary Jones, Wales MEP Jill Evans, County Councillor Kim Broom, and a whole host of supporters, to speak with as many people as possible in the community ahead of the General Election on 12th December.
Plaid Cymru candidate Mari Arthur said: "I was thrilled to be joined in Trimsaran by so many people to talk about why EU funds have been vital for the area. We are a net beneficiary, which means that, as a nation, we get £245milion more than we pay into the EU.
"Trimsaran Leisure Centre itself is a building that received £180k from EU funds and is now the beating heart of the community. It's great to see how this is still having a positive impact on people living in the village and further afield."
West Wales and the Valleys is a "less developed region", which means it is one of the "poorest regions" in Europe, as its GDP is less than 75% of the EU average. This means that £680million of EU funds comes to Wales, in the form of:
Structural Funds which amounts to just over £4 billion in extra funds to Wales since 2000, including £180,000 towards the build of Trimsaran Leisure Centre Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with £200million a year – almost a third of all EU funding in Wales – providing vital support to 16,0000 farms in Wales.
Other Funds that help support everything else, like the arts and biodiversity. Speaking from Trimsaran, Jill Evans MEP, said: "It's wonderful to be here today in Trimsaran and to see the fantastic support on the doorstep for Plaid Cymru, and the only local candidate on the Llanelli ticket: Mari Arthur. It's very heartening!
"Obviously, like elsewhere in Wales, there's a real feeling of frustration on the doorstep in relation to Brexit – among those who voted to leave AND those who voted to remain three years ago. Plaid Cymru is proudly Remain, because we believe Brexit – particularly a No Deal Brexit – would be catastrophic for Wales.
"Ask yourselves this: will Westminster Government honour this level of funding, post-Brexit? It is almost certainly a No. Vote Plaid."
Helen Mary Jones AM, also at Trimsaran Leisure Centre, said: "It was wonderful to be at Trimsaran and to have a glimpse into what the future could be like: with Kim Broom speaking up for the community at Plaid Cymru-led Carmarthenshire Council, myself at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay, Jill in Brussels and then Mari at Westminster. It would be wonderful to have a team in place that could deliver comprehensive support to the community."
The Pro-EU day highlighted the positive impact that EU funding has had on the lives of people and communities across the Llanelli constituency.

Lots of really awesome and famous soccer players will play soccer against each other in Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal. Cristiano Ronaldo will wow. Lionel Messi will wow.
