Myat Kyawt returns to River Galleryposted on Thursday, 12 December 2013
Artist Myat Kyawt is never one to rest on his laurels. Continually exploring new concepts and themes, this jovial artist is one of our most creative talents. He won third place in our National Portrait Competition in 2011 with a whimsical painting of fellow artist Win Pe Myint and his wife, seen below. We're delighted to report that he is now back at River Gallery with a new series of paintings featuring the trees of Myanmar, imbued with a kindly spirit, sheltering and embracing Myanmar people going about their everyday life.

A New Chapter for Chindwin Chambers as River IIposted on Wednesday, 06 November 2013Looking for new premises close to the original River Gallery in The Strand, we had come across the Chindwin Chambers in the road right next to the hotel, three minutes walk from the gallery. The elegant three story colonial building caught our eye, and we noticed that one section at the north end of the building was home to an office with just a few workers. We tracked down the owners and discovered that they were amenable to relocating these employees and renting out the space to us for a new gallery.The renovation was relatively minor, just waterproofing the structure, taking out some internal partitions, fixing the wiring, making new doors and painting and plastering to give us large flat white walls. The room has beautiful proportions with 18 foot ceilings and a length of over 120 foot, which spans the whole block giving us access onto both 38th Street and 37th Street. These are charming old lanes, where local life goes on uninterrupted. I enjoy sitting at the desk in the middle of the gallery, able to see out both ends to the streets where people walk by, street vendors sell their wares, and the local dogs guard their territory.We're looking forward to hosting various events and functions at River II , so that a wide range of people can come and enjoy the re-purposed space and help give downtown Yangon a bit more of a buzz.

Review- Wonder in the Land- Group Exhibition, Canadaposted on Friday, 13 September 2013
A lot has happened in Burma, also known as Myanmar, since the East Gallery first introduced Burmese contemporary art to Canadians in 2011. After five decades of censorship, Burmese artists are relishing a somewhat greater freedom of expression and the increased international attention being paid to the country's vibrant art scene. "Wonder in the Land", the East Gallery's third group show of contemporary Burmese artists, features new work by 5 leading artists, all of whom have had considerable international exposure and success. Visitors will experience a range of styles and themes from abstract to expressionistic, and from landscapes to street scenes.

Sculptures by Aung Koposted on Wednesday, 14 August 2013
IN the depths of North Dagon, I visited the workshop Aung Ko had set up to produce his latest creations. A true pathmaker in the Myanmar art world, Aung Ko is pushing the envelope again with his life size sculptures of people frozen in poses of surprise and fear. His chosen medium is fiberglass, a first for a Myanmar artist. The process is lengthy – modeling in clay first, creating a plaster cast, and finally coating the inside of the cast with the fiberglass, before fitting the parts together and finishing the surface.
These sculptures are an accompaniment to the "We are Moving" series of large format paintings, which depict the frisson of shock and anxiety in a crowd of people when they learnt that a bomb had exploded nearby. The sculptures give an added dimension – literally – to his depiction of this scene.
They are destined for a solo show in Milan later this year, but before they head off, we will show them in River to give our local friends and artists a chance to see this pioneering new work.
Artist Yan Naing Tun depicts the changing role of monks in the New Myanmarposted on Wednesday, 14 August 2013
Last week Yan Naing Tun brought in a new series of paintings featuring lines of photo-realistic monks on a blue contemporary background. Nothing new in painting monks in Myanmar, but these works were immediately arresting as the focal point of the works were the faces of the monks, depicted with angry or determined expressions. Yan Naing Tun explained to me that since the country opened up the Sangha (the monkhood) has become a political force, with some monks playing an activist role in the debates about the issues the country is facing. This strong series of works graphically show that tranquil contentment is not the only face of the Myanmar monk these days.

SEBI for introduction of more products to deepen Indian market1 min read . Updated: 09 Sep 2007, 03:06 PM IST
SEBI for introduction of more products to deepen Indian market
SEBI for introduction of more products to deepen Indian market
Mumbai, 9 September As if unsatiated with the rise of India's capital markets to tenth position globally, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) today favoured introducing more products for deepening of markets aimed at investors' protection.
"We can achieve further growth by ensuring more investors and more products in the market," SEBI Chairman M Damodaran told PTI in an interview, when asked whether India could advance further in the global ranking.
"India has developed into a big market. We are the tenth largest in the world and further growth is sure to come... the current growth we have achieved is without much of PSU disinvestment," he said.
Exuding confidence that the market is in for a major expansion, he said deepening of the market was a definitive safeguard for investors. "With the growth in the market there can be more investors to participate.
"The growth itself is a measure of investors' protection," he said, adding that the regulators' three objectives -- investor protection, market development and regulation -- could not be seen in isolation and should be read in tandem.
Emphasising that market needed more products for further growth, Damodaran said: "New products such as interest and currency derivatives are required... there are some new products in the pipeline."
On the derivative market itself, Damodaran said in the F&O market although futures market was growing, the option segment had not grown.
"As we go forward, we will look at launching new products to bolster growth in the Futures and Option segment," he said.
Damodaran, who dislikes to be drawn into day-to-day market movement, said the economy was growing and the Indian story would surely be reflected on the markets and his role as regulator was clearly to guard against any malpractices.
"People keep asking me as to where the market is heading for.... and I tell them this is an answer nobody has," he said, emphasising that SEBI was mandated and would do every thing to protect investors from wrongdoings.
In a large market one or two investors could not have any dominating influence. The depth and maturity of the market alone would help achieve the objective of protecting investors, he said.
Praising the retail investors, he said that they are more educated and take informed decisions.

Cathy and I enjoyed an envigorating rainforest walk yesterday through Kondalilla Falls National Park near Montville.
Winter school holidays are a great time to lace on the walkng shoes, load up the backpacks with healthy snacks, sunblock, insect repellant and water bottles and hit some of the world-class walking trails around about here.
We've done the Fig Tree Walk at Booloumba Creek and I think we will tackle the Mapleton Falls walk next.
Some day, we might set aside a few days to do the 58km Great Walk through the Blackall Ranges.
Sad that Christopher will never get to explore some of these places for himself, but we have begun the years-long process of laying paved, graded paths throughout our 5 acres here and planting in lots of trees for him to motor through on his someday powered wheelchair. Not exactly an old-growth rainforest, but a pretty damn good next-best-thing.

4 Responses to "Kondalilla"
Ahhh – Kindalilla – we remember it well even though it would have been about 37 years ago. We foolishly thought we would pop down the path with you all and view the falls, then come back up for lunch. Of course, it took longer than we thought to 'pop'. Do you remember Leisa running ahead to come back with a report on what was down the path. I think she travelled three times further than we did. And poor Brad had bandaids on his knees, covering boils. He did not complain once. We all enjoyed lunch after that long trek!
Oops – typo = meant Kondalilla
I also remember seeing a man with a prosthetic leg above the knee walking down as we were walking up…and Mum…I can still hear you words of wisdon…."Don't you ever complain about being too tired to walk…look at that man…and he has a smile on his face. Be thankful that you have two good legs."

Is it me or memorex?
No that is not what I'm blogging about.
And that prolly tells my age quite well.
Wait I think I might have just called myself old…
So what is really on my mind is the interesting interwebs lately.
My hubby and I both are having difficulty logging into things. We keep getting locked out of our regular sites and it doesn't matter where we're trying to log on. Work or home, things are not 'talking' to each other.
If this was my girlfriend, I'd go buy some chocolate's and take her out for coffee all my treat. We'd have a good talk, maybe a cry and things would be great again.
So when you see me at the local barista, rubbing chocolate on my laptop and crying, please don't think me too odd. I'm just trying to get the communication flowing again.

How to Dress Like a Hollywood Agent on a Budget
ICM Partners' Chuck James, the office style mentor who helps everyone from mailroom interns to young agents up their style game, gives advice for THR's Next Gen style clinic.
When Chuck James, founding partner and senior motion picture talent agent at ICM Partners, started in the entertainment business in the early 2000s, talent agencies still embraced conformity. "If you were not in a dark suit, red tie, black shoes and black socks, you stood out like a sore thumb," he says. "It was about falling in line and being conservative." James, who began in the mailroom a little later than most after playing competitive tennis, distinguished himself by wearing items like a black-and-white houndstooth shirt ("I was able to cobble together enough to buy an Etro dress shirt," he says). "Now, over the last decade, but more so the last five years, Hollywood has opened the door for people to have their own personality," says James, who reps Game of Thrones' Carice van Houton, Megan Fox and Linda Cardellini. "It's looked on as a plus and not a detriment to your career."
Known for his forward take on fashion, James wears everything from the latest Gucci runway couture shirt, to a linen suit with tennis shoes (not sneakers, a holdover from his tennis days), to his mother's diamond pins on his tuxedo lapel for the red carpet. "I don't even like to stand next to the guy," jokes client Meredith Vieira. "He's the epitome of cool but doesn't look like he is trying." Adds Westworld's Rodrigo Santoro, a client: "This guy stands out in a town of stylish people because he savors all the details — the pocket handkerchief will be the right tone, the collar, the socks, the tie will pick up on something else. The word is 'impeccable.'"
Such authority has led to James becoming the de facto style mentor to a generation of ICM agents, trainees and mailroom interns. "What I have learned from Chuck is: People get a sense of you when you walk into a room, so your style should say who you are and that you have shown up," says a "mentee," agent Andrew Kurland, whose young roster includes American Horror Story's Taissa Farmiga. "It's become competitive in trying to outdo one another in being original and creative while still toeing the line," says James, as he details what goes into a winning look on a budget more entry-level than power player.
Yes, Tailoring Is Critical
"Suits that don't fit ruin your first impression," says James, who learned the importance of tailoring from seeing the results for actor clients. "If a suit's not tailored properly, it makes you look disheveled, unconfident and twice as heavy as you are." His tailor of choice is Art Mark, the proprietor of Beverly Hills Tailoring (9451 Charleville Blvd., Beverly Hills). "Art's the best tailor in L.A. — and reasonable. He can take one of the $300 Grand Frank linen suits I buy to augment my wardrobe and make it look like a $3,000 suit" (GrandFrank.com).
In the era of ankle-baring men's trousers and shrunken Thom Browne suit jackets, don't overdo it: "There's what I might call 'extreme tailoring' — guys' suits with pants so short or jackets so tight that they can't even move," says James. "You have to make sure you can sit and stand and not look like you're trying too hard."
No Need to Try On Suits
For a disruptive take on traditional bespoke tailoring, James recommends both the look and price points of Articles of Style, an online retailer founded by former style blogger Dan Trepanier. Working only with American manufacturers, the suits are fitted via a sample garment sent to the customer created via an algorithm and then analyzed in photos before a final garment is cut. (from $1,095; ArticlesofStyle.com). Per James' advice, "I literally threw out my other suits and got nine of these," says agent Kevin Hussey, who works with Katie Holmes and Jeff Goldblum among other clients. "I even got married in one of their tuxedoes. There is no lining or shoulder pads in these suits, so it keeps you nice and comfortable."
For inexpensive, well-made button-downs, Charles Tyrwhitt, a British shirtmaker with a flagship on London's Jermyn Street, makes its offerings easy to order online. "I like the spread-collar dress shirt," says Hussey, which "comes a couple of days" after ordering, perfect for red carpet procrastinators (slim-fit dress shirt, from $69; CTShirts.com).
Bad Shoes & Belts: Career Killers
"If I were an artist, I wouldn't sign with someone who had bad shoes," says James, half jokingly. "One of the male species' worst lack of abilities is buying shoes. You still see those extreme square toes that have been 'out' for a decade on guys who have somewhat of a good suit on."
The agent is partial to Gucci and Ferragamo for his own footwear, but there are many options for up-and-comers, from online retailer Cobbler Union's monk straps and lace-ups ($395; Cobbler-Union.com) to Allen Edmonds lace-ups, which agent J.R. Ringer describes as "a great middle-of-the-week go-to" ($395; 10250 Santa Monica Blvd.). "Even if you can afford just one pair of amazing shoes and wear them every day, make sure that they're polished and change out the laces. People will think you have new shoes on every day," advises James.
As for belts, he says, "most guys buckle them too tight, or even worse, too loose. They're always too wide" and are not considered the investment purchase that they should be. He suggests the handmade crocodile belts at Scully & Scully that retail for a fraction of the price of $2,500 models from top designer maestros ($265; ScullyandScully.com).
Stand Out With Accessories
"Since we're wearing suits and ties five days a week," says Ringer, "it's important not to wear shirts and ties from the same store or brand, or fall into a rut and look the same every day." (Charles Tyrwhitt has dapper ties from $49, a great resource considering agencies are the last bastion of the mandatory tie in Hollywood.) The agent who reps Lucy Hale, Jay Duplass and Lil Yachty will sport a muted tie with a more colorful suit, or vice versa.
California company Garrett Leight makes eyeglasses that are a twist on the classic 1950s Ivy League vibe (from $335; 165 S. La Brea Ave.). "Accessories should be worn in moderation — they shouldn't detract or make you feel uneasy," says James, citing such fast-moving trends as "the attack of the killer flower lapel pins" during last year's awards season or chunky, sporty sneakers with suits, which "look like a nurse working at a hospital."
No Big Meetings? Not a Suit Day
"When people come to California, it's very confusing and they tend to wear sweaters that are too hot or not warm enough," says James, a Florida native. Naadam's cashmere pullover and cardigans, good for an agency retreat, "are the perfect weight and as good a quality as I've seen at the highest-end designer stores" (V-neck; $125, Naadam.co). Venice-based Buck Mason is recommended for T-shirts (curved hem tee; $28, BuckMason.com) and Kith, a wildly popular NYC sneaker retailer, for "upscale kicks that also can look great with suits," says James (from $135; Kith.com).

Director Denis Villeneuve replicates the essence of Ridley Scott's original in Blade Runner 2049 – a sequel thirty five years in the making.
Blade Runner didn't need a sequel. Ridley Scott's interpretation of Philip K. Dick's classic novel, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep', resulted in one of the finest science fiction movies in cinematic history.
Scott's stunning vision of a bleak, dystopian future where rogue replicants (synthetic humans) are hunted by Blade Runners provided a fine balance of action with morality and romance at its core.
The film posed a long-standing ambiguity – is Deckard a replicant or not? – which should have provided enough punctuation to ensure no second instalment to the story was ever needed. It was perfect.
Alas, thirty five years later a sequel arrives and the news made my heart sink. But where Ridley Scott's return to the Alien franchise proved somewhat less that spectacular, Blade Runner 2049 is entrusted to director, Denis Villeneuve, who's 2016 first contact, sci-fi thriller, Arrival, rates as one of my favourite in a decade.
Set thirty years after the events of Blade Runner, Villeneuve has clearly approached the project with respect, managing to recreate the feel of the original on-screen. The futuristic world that Ridley Scott so remarkably brought to life in 1982 is built upon and presented in even greater scale. Visually, the film is a masterpiece in cinematography. Every shot is beautifully lit and coloured. Every camera angle offers an interesting take on this dystopian vision.
Similarly the filmmaker has spent as much effort in bringing the human side of the story into Blade Runner 2049 without rehashing the same plot. In fact Blade Runner 2049 picks up the story of the first film whilst taking it in an entirely different direction, bridging the gap between the two with aplomb.
Harrison Ford reprises his role as 'Rick Deckard' though Ryan Gosling takes the lead as a young replicant Blade Runner known as 'K'. David Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Jared Leto (Suicide Squad) also feature alongside cameos from a couple of the original cast.
There's a fairy tale element to the film. Through a journey of emotional awakening K, wants nothing more than to discover he's been loved, to be a 'real boy'. His discovery of a long-buried secret creates a conflict between two parties. One that wants to utilise the information for personal gain, another that wishes to destroy it. Caught between the two, K must track down an old Blade Runner, Rick Deckard, to determine the truth.
With a runtime of two and three quarter hours Blade Runner 2049 is as epic in length as it is visually. Despite a slow pace, similar to that of Blade Runner, the viewer's interest is maintained throughout, either by the beautiful visuals accompanied by the familiar synthesised score, or by moments of explosive action.
One could argue that the film could easily have been condensed by moving the plot along a little quicker or shortening moments of silent contemplation. A cameo from Edward James Olmos' character (Gaff) is superfluous to the story, as is – to a lesser extent, the appearance of Sean Young reprising her role as Rachel. This isn't a film that needs to be compromised on though.
Much of the film is indulgent, but it's the attention to detail, the commitment to keeping faithful to the look and feel of the original, and those fan-pleasing moments along with a fairy tale story that add up to a very enjoyable experience.
Where the film falters is in trying to replicate the ambiguity of the first. Blade Runner 2049 leaves plenty for the viewer to contemplate. But whilst there's a lot that goes unanswered – the film fails to raise a worthy question.
For more than three decades we've been debating whether Deckard is a replicant or not. I doubt very much we'll be having the same discussions about Blade Runner 2049 in thirty five years… and that's ok.
Denis Villeneuve has drawn on his strength for non-linear storytelling and delivered a film faithful enough to the Blade Runner aesthetic without being a glorified remake. Fans should be overjoyed.
Blade Runner 2049 is in cinemas now.
A near perfect return to the world of Blade Runner. Epic sci-fi, a visual stunner and more than a glorified remake. 4-5

6 Simple Tips To Ensure Your Retail Store Is Leading The Charge In Quality
Running a brick and mortar retail store can be tough work. Managers have a lot on their plate and managing quality is usually top of the list. Following these simple steps can result in better sales, a reduction in stock loss, happier staff, and better mystery shopper results.
Set the standards from the get go
Ensure that all staff are aware of the quality standards that are expected from day one. Explain to the team why quality standards are so important and the expectations from head office.
Even consider including a quality and standards session in new staff training to breed a quality culture from the beginning of an employee's time with the business.
Ensure staff are empowered to own quality
Standards in quality drop when staff have no sense of responsibility. By arming each member of your team, no matter their position, with the tools needed to take responsibility of their store – ratings will pick up.
iAuditor is an easily downloaded app which gives members the ability to build and check off inspections. An admin can build, assign and schedule audits for those in their team. Team members then get notifications through their mobile device to conduct audits. You can build a checklist to inspect anything: Stock, cleanliness of the store, standards for staff, merchandising, security, point of sale, collect feedback and much more.
Prioritise security
Include security checks in your templates. By making staff more aware of the location of cameras to ensure they haven't been tampered with and staff manning major entries and exits will result in minimised stock loss. In fact, by making staff more aware of security, an iAuditor customer and large retailer in the UK was able to reduce stock loss by 16%.
Welcome feedback
Encourage staff members to record all feedback, from both customers and their thoughts, so that trends can be recorded and updates to the store or merchandise can be suggested. Staff excellence can also be rewarded and alternatively, any improvements can be made.
Reward excellence
Creating a quality culture starts with transparency. Explain to your team that the more data you accumulate for your stores, the more you will learn. Reward employees that fill in templates regularly and use the data from customer feedback to help inform promotions. Explain to your team that the templates they fill in now will help shape the future of the store, and potentially the business as well as help them progress in their careers.
Make the most of your data
Use the data collected in iAuditor to make informed decisions on stock, store layout, merchandising, staffing, security and more. Look at multiple stores and use learnings from one to another.
Easily personalise and print reports to share with management in head office. Show through data reasons behind changes in sales, stock loss and more.

Getting a joke is not really about "IQ". It just depends on whether you have background knowledge of the subjects associated in the joke. Therefore jokes sometimes make sense to only people who know certain information. There are certain things that are only funny to your friends, especially with one-liner jokes.
This is why sometimes when stand up comedians from America visit a place like South Africa for example, they give a brief explanation of the fundamental aspects of what they are about to joke about or they simply make their jokes fit into what South Africans can relate to. Definitely a joke about Kanye West selling torn clothes does not make sense to someone who doesn't know that Kanye West is into fashion, let alone WHO KANYE WEST IS. – The same rule applies for Hip-hop punchlines
Let's look at this One-liner
What happens to a frog's car when it breaks down?
It gets toad away.
It gets toad away.
To get this joke:
1. You must know that a toad is a type of frog.
2. You must also know that a broken down car get toured away
Toad and toured sound the same (they are homonyms).
This information is not obvious to an individual in a location where
Thus when someone takes a long confused pause before making a fake laugh it doesn't always mean they're slow. Well sometimes it does of course.
In the case that they do not get the joke but are aware of the information used in the association then I guess it's more about their minds being unable to join the associations together. There are many ways in which jokes are written, but what usually makes people laugh is "surprise".
Most jokes at first make a person assume that someone is talking about a certain thing then they make a sudden joke, which catches you off guard and you laugh.
So I guess what it takes to get a joke is knowing "general knowledge, current affairs, past events, common sayings and so forth. Just being in touch with life an people.

My name is James Haines-Young and I am a photojournalist and writer based in Beirut, Lebanon.
Since March 2017 I have been Lebanon and Online Desk Editor for The Daily Star. I lead a team of 19 reporters and editors at Lebanon's leading English language newspaper where I'm responsible for all national news production for print, online and social media, as well as online global news. In addition to overseeing production, I write high-level interviews, analyses and features as well as contribute to news.
I started at the paper in January 2016 as a reporter and copyeditor, writing features and news as well as editing others' work for the local news desk.
In the summer of 2012 I graduated in International Relations from the University of Sussex, England. A year after graduating, having worked with The Nottingham Post newspaper for 3 months, I moved to Lebanon.
When I arrived I worked with Time Out Beirut (TOB) as a staff writer and photographer until I became the managing editor. Whilst working with TOB I also contributed freelance to a number of outlets including The Guardian, The Economist, Vice and Al-Monitor. After nearly a year at TOB I left to do more freelance work and have continued working with these outlets, as well as others (for a full list see here). I also spent several months as a freelance copy-editor at Al-Monitor.
I also have a portfolio of my images which is a collection of both published and unpublished images as well as personal photo projects.
