Rachel Zoe's Dirty Laundry
"Shhhhh!" Rachel Zoe hissed dramatically, semi-joking, at her husband and business partner, Rodger Berman. "They'll think you're a snob."
Rodger had just quipped that he couldn't recall the last time he did laundry. That would have been fine, it was fine, mostly, except we were sitting in a conference room at Procter & Gamble headquarters in Cincinnati attending an event that was billed as Laundry School with Rachel Zoe. Technically, that was true ? it was laundry school, and Rachel Zoe was there. But Rachel wasn't exactly providing the instruction. Rachel was there more to lend her vocal fry in response to the demonstrations at hand, in which P&G fabric care technicians guided us through coursework on everything from fabric construction, to washing machine design, to the science of scents.
But what's more important to this story is why I was there. You see, I'm a laundry enthusiast, the kind of woman who loves doing laundry so much that even though I live in a 6th floor walk-up apartment in Manhattan with no on-premises laundry facilities, I do 3-4 loads of laundry a week. For a two-person household.
I love laundry in an unnatural way, is what I'm trying to tell you here.
I'm also a laundry expert in my own right; in my capacity as a cleaning advice columnist, I've taught my own version of Laundry School for several years now (consider it the correspondence course version). So Downy, recognizing my true and deep adoration for the washing of clothes, invited me to Cincinnati to go deep on the subject (and, full disclosure, paid to fly me out). Even experts can learn new things, so off I went to Laundry School with Rachel Zoe.
If the connection between Zoe and Downy seems tenuous, well, it is. Zoe partnered with Procter & Gamble to promote their line of fabric conditioners, the gussied up term they're using to push what the rest of us know as fabric softener. There's nothing especially new about Downy Fabric Conditioner, other than the name, but the change represents a shift in how they're marketing the product ? as is the union with Zoe.
Fabric conditioner is the gussied up term for what the rest of us know as fabric softener.
The shift is an admirable one, especially from the perspective of this laundry enthusiast. It's designed to encourage consumers to think more about laundry as a fabric care proposition and less about laundry as a chore. By massaging the name of the product to evoke hair care routines, and by partnering with a designer like Zoe, who's associated with high-end clothing, both from her own collection and the collections of designers she works with as part of her role as celebrity stylist, Downy is upscaling their product. To put it another way, fabric softener is the stuff you use to keep your bathrobe from feeling scratchy against your skin, but fabric conditioner is a product you'd employ to protect and enhance the look of those skinny jeans you spend half a month's salary on. Even the language used by the P&G fabric care experts communicates this; they talked about helping "consumers honor their clothes" and about how "you're in charge of the destiny of your clothes" and also despaired because "the life cycle of clothes is cut short because they're not cared for properly."
I was among my people.
There's also an education component at work, as evidenced by the development of their Laundry School curriculum, with Zoe as their glamorous mascot. Downy's representatives describe the partnership with Zoe thusly, "more and more designers are starting to realize that many of the fabrics they once thought were "dry clean only" are actually washable and can be easily cared for at home. Among these is designer and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, who partnered with Downy starting in Fall 2015 to help educate fellow designers and consumers on how to care for their clothes at home."
The timing of the partnership, however, is a tiny bit awkward. No less a source than WWD, the fashion-industry trade journal/bible, noted that Zoe's Spring 2016 collection "repositioned her collection at a much more elevated level than its original contemporary iteration." That bears out in the lookbook: Only one item in the 42-garment collection is launderable ? the Lettie Tee, which retails for $195 and must be hand washed. More specifically, "Hand wash cold with like colors, do not bleach or tumble dry, dry flat, cool iron on reverse side only."
Only one item in [Zoe's] 42-garment collection is launderable.
At Zoe's Fall/Winter 2016 collection, which was shown at New York Fashion Week on February 14th, no washable items were presented. They do exist, we're told, and "Rachel is very excited about the washable pieces she created and is looking forward to showcasing them soon," according to a spokesperson.
But, like, what even makes clothes washable?
Most of us have a baseline understanding of which fabrics can be laundered and which ones can't ? you wouldn't chuck a pair of leather pants or a silk blouse in the wash. (Zoe's Spring 2016 collection features both. They're labeled 'dry clean only,' naturally.) P&G's fabric care specialists explained that there are four factors that go into determining if a fabric is washable; fiber content, dye, finish and construction. The latter refers to elements like a garment's lining or embellishments such as fringe, sequins and tassels. (Zoe's Spring 2016 collection is heavy on all three.)
That's all a little vague, of course, but the P&G team follows with a litany of information about eight of the most common fabrics and the laundering challenges, or lack thereof, each presents. Cotton is prone to both color fading and shrinkage. Polyester is almost always 100% machine washable. Nylon, much like polyester, is 100% machine washable but is apt to become quite staticky. Spandex is sensitive to chlorine bleach, include trace chlorine found in the water supply. Linen is disposed to wrinkling and shrinkage. Wool can felt, which means that the fibers lock themselves to one another and become matted, and shrink. Silk is highly delicate and color running or loss is common. Rayon/viscose can be damaged by exposure to water.

Once you know that, figuring out how best to wash a garment becomes much less of a mystery and you'll be far less dependent on deciphering those inscrutable fabric care runes. And when you know how best to wash an item of clothing, you can minimize the effect the four factors that can make it look less-than-flattering. The look of a garment is based on its texture, its color, its fit and its feel. In a series of demonstrations, the Downy team showed how fabric softener, erm, conditioner, can protect against pilling and fraying (texture), fading (color), shape retention and flow (fit) and softness (feel).
With each demonstration, Zoe became more and more distressed.
But enough about laundry. You want to know more about Rachel, right? Right.
Let's start with the matter of her ring. Well, there are many rings but I specifically want to talk about The Ring. It is enormous, and while we were meant to be fondling a pair of washcloths, one washed with Downy and one washed without, to feel the difference in softness, I surreptitiously Instagrammed a photo of it. (Hashtag I die.)
I feel pretty sure that Rachel would be cool with this minor act of reconnaissance. Given the lore surrounding her ? the coterie of starlets who were clients and friends in equal measure, the Mexican diet pills ? she was surprisingly relatable. I mean, I totally loved her. During a video presentation on the science of scents, she whispered, "I want another one," in response to footage of a newborn baby. When lunchtime rolled around, she and Rodge sat with everyone rather than sequestering themselves away as many celebrities do. And yes, she ate! She sure did. Now then, she didn't ingest a carb, but she certainly ate more than three pieces of asparagus.
During that lunch, she also talked about the guests who joined her on her Lifetime talk show, "Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe," which debuted on September 24, 2015. Of Kelly Osbourne she said, "What you see is what you get with her, she's totally transparent," before adding, "I wouldn't want to dress her though." It wasn't said meanly, if that's what you're thinking. It was funny and so endearing, and conveyed that Rachel was perhaps a bit in awe of Osbourne's toughness.
Rodge was similarly endearing, what with his too-honest interjections and questions like, "Can the products be combined?" By that he meant detergent and fabric softener, like those two-in-one shampoo and conditioner dealies. (Hair care was a comparison that everyone came back to over and over again. It may have had something to do with the fact that one of the demonstrations involved two disembodied braids of actual human hair, one of which had been washed in Downy and one of which had not. The hair washed with Downy was much more attractive, but the folks at P&G made sure to note that washing your own hair with fabric softener isn't exactly recommended.) The answer to that was yes, they can be combined but that, just like those shampoo-plus-conditioners, a two-fer product just wouldn't work as well as when detergent and fabric softener are used separately.
Oh! I almost forgot to tell you this thing that I learned about top-loading washing machine design that, like, totally blew my mind. Front-loading machines have compartments or drawers that are designated for detergent, bleach (or other laundry boosters) and fabric softener, but top loading machines ? you know, the ones with the lid that flips up and that have an agitator in the center ? generally don't have those compartments. Detergent goes right in the drum, and there's a little triangle labeled 'bleach' into which one can pour bleach to have it dispensed at the right time in the machine's cycle. But where does the fabric softener go?
It goes in the center agitator. Which then flings the fabric softener out during the rinse cycle. Isn't that so cool and weird?!? It is entirely fine if you don't find it cool and weird, maybe you'll like this one better: According to the fabric care experts, 70% of laundry soil is invisible. In human terms what that means is this ? most of what's making your clothes dirty is you. Your skin, your body oils, the products you use, like lotions and deodorants, all that stuff.
But maybe neither of those bits of color commentary thrill you. Tough crowd, but I've got one last tale to tell.
When Rachel arrived in Cincinnati the night before the presentations at P&G headquarters, she checked into her hotel overlooking the Bengals? stadium. They were playing at home during an undefeated streak, and the noise from the stadium was deafening, even through the hotel's thick glass windows. She asked about the source of the noise and was told, "oh, it's the Bengals." Seeking clarification, she asked, "is that, like, a musical?"
Rachel was confused. She had mistaken the Bengals for The Bangles.

In a computer-age world, dating has become a bit tricky. Meeting someone through friends or employment can work sometimes. They pick several and place their personal details out there for the entire world to see and use to manipulate them. In fact, 40,, adults single, married, and somewhere in between use dating sites. Here are some other interesting statistics to bear in mind:. Despite these frightening statistics, dating sites are raking in the bucks as more users go online every day looking for companionship.

You can display your hobbies, interests, pastimes, friends, or family if you want to. Are they showing off that they can rock a keg stand or that they traveled to Fiji and swam with stingrays? How someone initiates a conversation with you will say a lot about how they view you as a person and how they might treat you as a partner. Did they comment on your body in a sexual manner or did they ask you what breed your cute dog is in your picture? You may get your fair share of cheesy pick-up lines, some can be endearing and charming while others can be crude and demeaning.
Humor can be a wonderful icebreaker, but also remember you are worth more than a lame pick up line. Someone who truly wants to get to know you will take the time to do so. After the initial ice breaker conversation, what does the rest of the conversation look like? Your first few conversations with someone new should be easy going.
Online dating apps have been accused of fueling hook-up culture , and killing romance and even the dinner date , but their effects on society are deeper than originally thought. The rise of internet dating services could be behind stronger marriages, an increase in interracial partnerships, and more connections between people from way outside our social circles, according to a new study by economics professors Josue Ortega at the University of Essex and Philipp Hergovich at the University of Vienna in Austria.
Today, more than one-third of marriages begin online. Online dating is the second most popular way to meet partners for heterosexual couples and, by far, the most popular form of dating for homosexual partners.
Sexual predators are finding potential victims through online dating and hook-up apps, survivors and police warn, as rape and sexual assault.

Dating apps were created to help people meet each other and maybe fall in love. But law enforcement authorities say a Connecticut man used them to prey on women, including a nurse in Queens he met through Tinder who was strangled to death earlier this month. The police in New York have also linked the man, Danueal Drayton, to a rape in Brooklyn and they are investigating whether he might be responsible for other rapes and killings involving women he met through dating and ride-hailing apps.
Drayton, of New Haven, has a history of arrests involving violence against women dating back to , according to the authorities, and he has told investigators he is responsible for several other crimes. Drayton, 27, was arrested last week in Los Angeles by a regional fugitive task force after the police in New York tracked him to a hotel room there, law enforcement authorities said.
How online dating is killing commitment: Millions of women think love is There is striking evidence to suggest that the web is causing social.
That means I will not only have more free time — the average user spends 90 minutes per day on the phone, swiping thumbs left or right in the hope of hooking up — but also precious peace of mind. Last weekend Port Macquarie doctor Angela Jay, 28, was stabbed 11 times and doused in petrol by a man she met on Tinder. Her calm head, as she crawled in agony to the neighbours and instructed them how to stop her bleeding out, is all that saved her.
Not that Angela Jay could have known that from the absence of background checking afforded on Tinder. While some online trysts capture national attention — including that of Gold Coast man Gable Tostee who was acquitted of murder and manslaughter in relation to the death of New Zealander Warriena Wright and has subsequently sold his story to 60 Minutes — many fly under the radar. Woo hoo! A handsome enough face AND the guy was straight, single and employed increasingly rare attributes in the heterosexual dating world.
Within minutes of them meeting for coffee, it was clear that the guy was not only 10 years older than his profile shot but he said he was married and suggested a threesome. Looks can be deceiving — and never more so than with the filters and fakery so easily applied online.
But fake profiles abound, sexual predators use the sites, and some common online dating behavior—like meeting alone after scant acquaintance, sharing personal information, and using geolocation—puts users at risk. A local council member in Manchester, in the north of England, Leech this year launched a campaign to make online dating companies commit to keeping their users safer. Over the past four years, 17 people in the Greater Manchester area have reported being raped after using one of two apps, Grindr and Tinder, according to police statistics obtained by Leech through a freedom of information request.
A total of 58 people were victims of online dating-related crimes in those four years, some of them sexual. Is this scaremongering, or is online dating truly putting users in danger? There are some big gaps.

According to court documents, Karjala strangled the victim, Michelle Mae, to death. For law enforcement, this case serves as a reminder to be wary of who you meet on dating applications.

He broke into her home one night in April and bashed her to death with a cricket bat while her four-year-old son Aron hid nearby, terrified.

While the possibilities seem exciting at first, the effort, attention, patience, and resilience it requires can leave people frustrated and exhausted. This experience, and the experience Johnston describes — the gargantuan effort of narrowing thousands of people down to a pool of eight maybes — are actually examples of what Helen Fisher acknowledged as the fundamental challenge of dating apps during that debate that Ashley and I so begrudgingly attended.
So when you get to nine matches, you should stop and consider only those. Probably eight would also be fine. But according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in February , 59 percent of Americans think dating apps are a good way to meet someone. Mainstream dating apps are now figuring out how to add options for asexual users who need a very specific kind of romantic partnership. The gist was that romantic love is a survival mechanism, with its circuitry way below the cortex, alongside that which orchestrates thirst and hunger.

"Disrupt" is in vogue right now. It can describe a felt need to change the rules of how things work. It can also describe a need to "call out" those who have privilege. Thus, "disrupting" is a double-edged process by which the disadvantaged can demand change while the privileged can use power to make the disadvantaged more so. The Black Lives Matter movement and financial corruption by top U. S. government officials bent on "draining the swamp" are contemporary examples of the ways disruption cuts both ways.
Playwright Robert Askins (Hand to God) has written a dark, meditative allegory on tribalism and its disruptive consequences. Titled The Squirrels, it can be taken in multiple ways—deliberately, I think. La Jolla Playhouse is staging its world premiere production through July 8.
Mr. Askins begins with a scientific lecture, delivered by Brad Oscar, on the social aspects of squirrels, including how they cluster according to type, how the different types can be rivals but also how they can assist each other. Mr. Oscar returns a couple of times as the scientific explainer, but he also becomes one of the squirrels around whom the story revolves. In fact, Mr. Oscar's character is the prime disrupter of the play.
The story, as set up by the lecture, revolves around the privileged gray squirrels and the disadvantaged fox squirrels. Here, the coin of the realm is nuts, and the squirrels who manage to put away the most nuts are the ones who will likely survive the winter months.
Gray squirrels are typically in the best survival position and can afford to enjoy the fruits of what they might consider their superior labors. Fox squirrels seek ways to survive, either through the largess of their gray counterparts or by tapping the gray's larder.
All kinds of disruption ensue: Carolinius (Marcus Terrell Smith) steps forward to lead the fox squirrels by encouraging toughness and pride. He also attracts the romantic attention of Chordata (Lakisha May), a gray squirrel concerned with becoming pregnant and worrying that there are no appropriate mates among her own kind. The fox squirrel dilemma also concerns Mammalia (Candy Buckley), a gray who wants both types of squirrels to prosper, even if it means sharing the food supplies.
But, as conditions become bleak, desperation grows. Rodentia (Summer Spiro), a fox squirrel adopted by the grays when she was orphaned, turns on those who adopted her in vixen-like manner. Scurius (Terrence Archie), the wise senior gray squirrel, panics and begins to gorge on the available nuts. Mr. Oscar takes up the role of Sciuridae, a gray who plots to "win" by disrupting gray privilege so he can seize power.
It's a credit to Christopher Ashley's 90-minute, no intermission production that these dynamics sort themselves out as clearly and as crisply as they do. He's coached the cast into not only embodying their roles as squirrels but also embodying them in a way that they play out heroics, scheming, and tragic consequences reminiscent of Shakespeare. Mr. Oscar particularly shines within a capable cast in his dual role as explainer and plotter.
The Playhouse is using the Mandell Weiss Forum for this production, a theatre with semi-circular open configuration. To me, the Forum is the most challenging of the Playhouse's three theaters, primarily due to lack of a proscenium and audience seating that is also in a semi-circle. Scenic designer Beowulf Boritt has overcome much of the stage shape problem by building up, so that a tree-like configuration provides the multiple playing spaces that are needed (defined nicely by Tyler Micoleau's lighting design). Paloma Young's costume designs keep the focus on the actors as squirrels while still reminding the audience of their human analogues. Cricket S. Myers sound effects land well, but the cast occasionally succumbs to the Forum's acoustical habit of making anything less than perfect diction into mush.
Not as pointed than George Orwell's "Animal Farm," The Squirrels seems more enamored with the scientific side of squirrel behavior than with how that behavior plays out in ways that resemble humans (though Mr. Askins has fun inventing "squirrel words" that have little trouble being understood). He's aiming more for universal truths than at contemporary politics.
Audience members' enjoyment may rest both on how much they appreciate the universal truths, and on how much they want to imagine contemporary political figures as squirrels.
In addition to the principal cast, the Squirrel Ensemble members are Sidney Hill, Max Singer and Danielle Wineman, all Master of Fine Arts students at the University of California, San Diego.
The Squirrels, through July 8, 2018, at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Dr., La Jolla CA.

228 Congresspeople Just Don't Understand
I really don't get it. The House not voting for the bailout is like being in favor of a second Great Depression. Someone call Sen. John McCain; surely he remembers how bad the Depression was (I promise, it'll be the only easy "McCain is old" I make this post).
Looking into the issue, there was clearly opposition coming from both sides. The thing is, I think those who voted against this bill are more in love with the idea of America instead of the actual America. This measure may very well be starting on "the slippery slope to socialism" as Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Tex) said in the debate before the bill, but it still doesn't change the fact that this may very well be a necessary measure.
As America breaks into the 21st Century, it will have to go through these growing pains. It may have to take on more socialist aspects as its population grows and its citizens grow and need for more. The America of old was a pull itself up by its bootstraps kind of country, but it was also younger, harsher, and needed for less. In this age in which we can each actually aspire to the American Dream; in this age in which it simply costs more to survive than before; in this age in which noblesse oblige is becoming less and less a shunned idea; perhaps we should do what keeps us alive and thriving instead of clinging dearly to the ideas of old. Those ideas may be to the detriment of this nation.
It's moments like these when I think of the work of Aaron Sorkin. Seeing that vote of 228-205 in opposition, I think of Sidney Ellen Wade's line in The American President: "How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can't stand Americans?" I don't think those 228 congressmen hate Americans, but I do think they just don't understand where this nation is headed. They don't see these are the growing pains of a new nation. They can't tell how 300 millions people are having trouble paying bills and finding gas. They can't feel for those losing their houses. They can't comprehend the people who have bad credit. They don't know those people who strive to make it through the day.
I'm going to say a prayer for those 228 representatives of the citizens of the United States. I hope God can show them that they stand for people who can't stand on that Congress floor for themselves. Some can hardly stand in the face of their bill collectors.
A new America is dawning and it will have a great deal to endure to be molded into the benevolent nation it's meant to be. Hopefully Congress will see that (with great expedience).
And hopefully they can agree on a bill to get us out of this mess.

SINGAPORE - Expect hazy conditions seen in Singapore on Friday (Oct 23) to persist throughout Saturday (Oct 24), as haze from Kalimantan spread to the surrounding region.
As at 11pm, the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was 148-174, in the unhealthy range. The three-hour PSI, which is not tied to a health advisory, was 223.
This was up from a 24-hour PSI of 131-153 and a three-hour PSI of 244 at 8pm.
The 24-hour PSI for the next 24 hours is expected to be in the mid to high sections of the unhealthy range (101-200), the National Environment Agency (NEA) said in an update at 5pm on Friday. It could enter the low end of the very unhealthy range if denser haze is blown in.
Widespread dense haze is observed over Kalimantan, and some of the haze continues to spread to the surrounding sea areas south-east of Singapore, and is being blown in by the prevailing south-easterly winds, said NEA.
"Only one hotspot was detected in Sumatra today. The low hotspot count was due to partial satellite pass and cloud cover over parts of Sumatra. Moderate to dense smoke haze is still persisting in central and southern Sumatra," it added.
Given the air quality forecast for the next 24 hours, healthy people should reduce prolonged or strenuous outdoor physical exertion. The elderly, pregnant women and children should minimise prolonged or strenuous outdoor physical exertion, while those with chronic lung or heart disease should avoid prolonged or strenuous outdoor physical exertion.
For updates, visit NEA website (www.nea.gov.sg), the haze microsite (www.haze.gov.sg), follow us on NEA Facebook (www.facebook.com/NEASingapore) and NEA Twitter (@NEAsg), or download the myENV app.


So that they may see that the desolation of the wicked is not a real calamity to the universe.
The punishment which follows thereupon is as a preserving salt to keep society from putrefying.
But those who walk with God shall not be taken in their deceitful snares.
It is well when a man can with advantage be so minutely copied as Paul might have been.
Oh, for grace to imitate him this day and every day!
Should we, through divine grace, carry into practice the Pauline teaching, we may claim the promise which is now open before us; and what a promise it is!
God, who loves peace, makes peace, and breathes peace, will be with us.
Peace be with you is a sweet benediction; but for the God of peace to be with us is far more.
Thus we have the fountain as well as the streams, the sun as well as his beams.
If the God of peace be with us, we shall enjoy the peace of God which passeth all understanding, even though outward circumstances should threaten to disturb.
If men quarrel, we shall be sure to be peacemakers, if the Maker of peace be with us.
It is in the Way Of Truth that Real Peace is found.
If we quit the faith or leave the path of righteousness under the notion of promoting peace, we shall be greatly mistaken.
First pure, then peaceable, is the order of wisdom and of fact.
Let us keep to Paul's line, and we shall have the God of peace with us as He was with the apostle.
He fears the LORD, and therefore he comes under the divine protection even as to the roof which covers himself and his family.
His home is an abode of love, a school of holy training, and a place of heavenly light.
In it there is a family altar where the name of the LORD is daily had in reverence.
Therefore the LORD blesses his habitation.
It may be a humble cottage or a lordly mansion; but the LORD's blessing comes because of the character of the inhabitant and not because of the size of the dwelling.
But a son or daughter or even a servant may bring a blessing on a whole household.
The LORD often preserves, prospers, and provides for a family for the sake of one or two in it, who are "just" persons in His esteem, because His grace has made them so.
Beloved, let us have Jesus for our constant guest even as the sisters of Bethany had, and then we shall be blessed indeed.
Let us look to it that in all things we are just...in our trade, in our judgment of others, in our treatment of neighbors, and in our own personal character.
A just God cannot bless unjust transactions.
Isa 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
But the LORD cheers that one...in such words as these.
Let us pray for all such as are cast out wrongfully born the society which they love.
May the LORD appear to their joy!
The text applies to truly gracious men who tremble at the word of the LORD.
These were hated of their brethren and at length cast out because of their fidelity and their holiness.
And professedly with the view of glorifying God.
How much is done for the devil in the name of God!
The use of the name of Jehovah to add venom to the bite of the old serpent is an instance of his subtlety.
The appearing of the LORD for them is the hope of His persecuted people.
And shame for their oppressors.
O LORD, fulfill this word to those whom men are deriding!

"Revolver" – the Beatles themed hotel in the Himalayas….
Revolver – the 1966 Beatles album released on a balmy August day has everything the band eludes…sound production to a different level of artistic fun, acid trips and the puns of course! The title of the album "Revolver" itself does not translate to the weapon which the word describes…instead it refers to the revolution of the record..it revolves and makes music come alive…Revolver is a Beatles masterpiece and will remain so and even more as a magical production of music and sounds in a studio set up with legendary hits like the "yellow submarine," "taxman," "here, there and everywhere," "she said, she said" and many more…but am here not to write about this album or the legendary hits and the magical sounds which this Beatles album offers, am here to talk about a tiny Himalayan town and its passion for music and the music makers…a Beatles themed hotel named "Revolver" which people say is more than just a guest house…it's more of a tribute to the Beatles…
Source: Anki On The Move
This modest and nondescript hotel is tucked in a corner of the hill town of Darjeeling but everyone in town knows and talks about it with pride. It is a true show case of Darjeeling's love and passion for music and the music makers. The rooms in this hotel are named after the band members of the Beatles…John, Ringo, George and Paul, and even their manager Brian! So once you check in you are in a room named after a legend. It does not end here each room…in fact each corner of this hotel is filled with memorabilia with a Beatles background.
Source: Revolver
The walls are lined with pictures and posters of the musicians all framed to their glory. You will also find some collectors items like limited edition stamps issued in the name of the Beatles. Paul's room has a huge mural on one of the walls and another wall is scrawled with the words "Follow your heart."

Of course the songs played on the hotels television and sound system gotta be the Beatles… The restaurant offers simple, local fare and some Continental dishes…the Beatles aren't a part of the food though the menu is interspersed with the Beatles trivia!
The hotel is a love child for the owner and his wife….and their love for the iconic band of the sixties is evident at each turn you take within the property. Musically tuned visitors throng to this small hotel in Darjeeling just for the vibes…some carry their guitars and play a mean tune in those rooms dedicated to their favourite Beatles man…while others are welcome to tune the Washburn guitar placed at the hotels' restaurant and strum away the evenings by the cosy fireplace…the song better be a Beatles one of course…

"Revolver" in the hills of Darjeeling takes the love for music to a different level altogether…
P.S: John Lennon once said he wanted to sound like the Dalai Lama chanting from a hilltop on 'Tomorrow Never Knows'…whether he chanted or sounded like Dalai Lama we never know but Johns' songs still continues to reverberate from the hilltops at the "Revolver!"

Everything you need to know about Mobli, the Instagram competitor with deep pockets
By	Kate Knibbs	@KateKnibbs — Posted on	November 7, 2013 8:00AM PST 11.7.13 - 8:00AM PST
When it comes to mobile platforms for photo and video sharing, Instagram is so far ahead of its many competitors, it seems difficult to imagine a rival gaining real steam. But Mobli isn't just any rival – the media platform has powerful backers. Mobli recently secured a major cash influx from one of the world's richest men, Carlos Slim. Slim's telecom company América Móvil led a round of funding that gave Mobli $60 million, and also gave the up-and-coming media sharing app a distribution deal with América Móvil users.
This will almost certainly boost Mobli's profile in Latin America (which is quickly challenging the rest of the world for most social network-addicted population), and will likely help the company position itself as a more serious Instagram competitor. Here's what we know about Mobli so far.
It has a lineup of celebrity investors.
Mobli lags far behind Instagram when it comes to user numbers and name recognition (it still only has around 12 million users), but that's not for want of celebrity fans. Backers include Leonardo DiCaprio, Lance Armstrong, Serena Williams, and Tobey Maguire. That said, most of these celebrity investments occurred over a year ago, and since Instagram introduced video and Vine debuted (and the Kardashians incessantly plugged Keek, another video sharing service with 60 million users) the famous-people shine is off Mobli — which is why Slim's cash injection comes at an opportune time for the app.
Mobli lets you see what users are putting up as they put it up.
Mobli lets you follow friends and search hashtags – just like Instagram, nothing particularly special there – but it also features a "live" search function, which gives you a glimpse of what other users are uploading as they upload it. This feature might get overwhelming if the app gains more users, but right now it provides an interesting overview of the sort of content people are sharing. Looking at my Live Mobli feed, I see a lot of selfies, but also some users who skillfully deploy the app's filters and editing tools to create visually interesting content.
Mobli actually out-features Instagram.
Mobli hasn't been shy about its desire to unseat Instagram – the company even launched a campaign to pay users to stop using Instagram called #mylastInstagram earlier this year (which came with a hefty cash prize) – but so far, it's still struggling to catch up with its far more established competitor.
This isn't because it's an inferior user experience, however. Mobli has a lot of good things going for it. In addition to the real-time Live search option, the company's use of location-based technology is impressive – for instance, there's a filter you can only use when you're in Madison Square Garden, meant to connect concert-goers as an event unfolds. This kind of specificity means Mobli might be more fun to use than Instagram when they're at events that have special filters and features created for an exclusive experience (of course, it's only fun to share content if you have an audience, so that's assuming the app grows to a point where most people have friends using it).
Mobli's user interface is beautiful and easy to navigate, it has strong integration with Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, and it offers more filters and features a view counter, so you can see how many people have looked at your images. There's nothing wrong when it comes to features offered – now the app just needs a userbase to match its assets.
Carlos Slim is a good man to have in Mobli's corner.
Mobli is already focused on securing the Latin American market – if you go to the company's blog, there's a special FAQ section in Portuguese, a nod to its Brazilian users – and with a tighter association with América Móvil, Mobli will gain more exposure in countries using the service. This more internationally-minded approach may give Mobli a way to secure a foothold of users in Latin America, and if its base grows in one area, it may propel interest from North American users as well. Mobli tweeted about its new investment money today in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, making sure to use the languages of the users it's setting out to woo, and it's a smart tactic.

Carlos Slim is the second-richest man in the world, and his decision to back Mobli is an excellent sign for the app's future, especially in the Latin American market. Slim previously invested heavily in Shazam, a successful music-discovery app – point being, he's not known for picking losers.

Western tourists who have ever been attempted to take a taxi in Shanghai should understand how a Chinese feel like while travelling in Europe. They face both culture and language barrier.
Major destinations like Venice and Barcelona are overcrowded. To solve the problem and grow Chinese FIT, crowd control and decentralization are efficient. Having the right tools at disposal helps tourists find their way and give them opportunities to visit surrounding areas.
In May 2017, EuroPass launched the first digital tool for the RATP (Régie des Transports Autonomes Parisiens), a French public transport company serving numerous Chinese tourists.
Since CGTN France produced a video in October 2017, EuroPass has continued to innovate for RATP. On top of its WeChat account, RATP also has a Chinese version of its official website, weekly newsletters in Chinese and most recently a WeChat mini-program "travel guide" with a built-in "pay & collect" function to sell its ticket online in RMB via WeChat.
Assisted from the start by EuroPass, RATP became a leading enterprise in the industry regarding Chinese tourism. EuroPass is ready to work with all kind of public transportation companies so together we create new remarkable projects.
