Art is a mysterious thing. It's hard to pin down why one thing moves us and another does not. Similarly, it can be hard to identify that special spark, that unique creativity that an artist can have that lifts their work into something magical. If you don't have that, all the technical skill and carefully won knowledge in the world won't get you to that special place. Unless, of course, you just steal it from someone else. This is “Faking It: Art's Greatest Forger.”This is a fun one, y'all. Opulent settings. Drama even a fan of telenovelas might find over the top.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Ken Albala, author of Opulent Nosh: A Cookbook for Audacious Appetites and other books about food.   A professor of history at the University of the Pacific, Albala's other books span from Eating Right in the Renaissance to The Great Gelatin Revival: Savory Aspics, Jiggly Shots, and Outrageous Desserts. He has written historical cookbooks; books on fine dining, banqueting, and individual ingredients; and more. Albala is currently working on an atlas of fermentation, as well as one on carving spoons, which is something he taught himself to do.   Opulent Nosh, which includes more than 100 recipes that transform simple dishes into memorable feasts, actually began as a breakfast book.     “I love breakfast because it's the one meal I get to cook whatever I want,” Albala explains. “And, if I make something that doesn't taste good, it doesn't matter; I'll eat it the next day.”   Albala sent the breakfast version to a half dozen agents, who called breakfast "passe." He considered going the self-publishing route, but that didn't work out either. In the end, Albala replaced the word "breakfast" with "nosh," made a few other changes, and had success getting it out into the world.   “One of the messages I've been trying to promote in most of my books is that cooking is inherently fun, that everyone should do it, as often as they can,” Albala says. “It's one of those fundamental things about humanity that gives us pleasure, like making music or dancing or running around in circles, whatever you do to make you happy.”   Albala, whose mother's side is Ashkenazi and father's is Sephardic, talks about his background and how it led to his deep dive into food. He also shares Opulent Nosh's origin story, examples of his unique cooking style, and his recipe for Matzo Brei, which you can find at JewishJournal.com.   Learn more about Opulent Nosh, follow @KenAlbala on Instagram and find his food groups on Facebook.   For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

Joining the show this week is a hospitality professional who creates distinct projects that make emotional connections with guests. Please welcome to the show, Senior Director of Design & Construction Services at Kempinski, Vibha Sawhney.Vibha joins Host Dan Ryan to discuss how she creates luxury projects that meet the needs of owners. Vibha also shares the importance of collaborative empathy, the value of meticulous attention to detail, and explores Kempinski's unique approach to luxury.Takeaways: Hospitality involves providing the highest level of service where the guest is considered supreme. For an architect, design and architecture are tools to craft unforgettable and comfortable memories for guests, emphasizing their supreme importance.To gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of materials, immerse yourself in working alongside skilled tradespeople like carpenters and metal workers. Understanding how they work allows you to better utilize a material in planning. The key to success is selecting the right partners who will give proper attention to your projects and act with empathy toward the end-users. It is essential to work collaboratively to achieve the best results and support the owner's vision.A successful property requires exceptional service across all locations and maintaining high standards in essential areas like breakfast and room comfort. Consideration must be given to space constraints, ensuring comfortable environments in smaller spaces.While many brands have a clear and defined aesthetic that should be designed for, your job is ultimately to work with an owner to tie their vision together. Successful collaboration blends both brand design and owner desires. Hotels are ultimately an ecosystem that requires collaboration between various functions and backgrounds to function properly. Collaboration can only happen if empathetic understanding is found between employees. Quote of the Show:“We are really open to understanding what the owner and the owner's team wants to do in a project.” - Vibha SawhneyLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vibha-sawhney/ Website: https://www.kempinski.com/enShout Outs:1:43 - Kristen Conry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/conry/ 1:45 - Hyatt: https://www.hyatt.com/ 13:25 - Samuel Creations20:22 - Marina Residences Dubai: https://www.kempinski.com/en/development/upcoming-openings/kempinski-marina-residences-dubai 20:27 - International Design Associates: https://www.ida-global.com/ 25:24 - Marriott: www.marriott.com 25:25 - Hilton: https://www.hilton.com/ 30:13 - Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul: https://www.kempinski.com/en/ciragan-palace 31:05 - Kempinski Palace Engelberg Titlis Swiss Alps: https://www.kempinski.com/en/kempinski-palace-engelberg Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

The FX miniseries Shōgun takes viewers on a journey filled with action and adventure through historically accurate 1600's Edo-era Japan. Englishman John Blackthorne arrives on a Dutch trading ship after a rough voyage, interested in beginning trade with the Japanese. The country is governed by five regents locked in a power struggle, and the ruler Toranaga thinks the Englishman might be useful to him. Director Jonathan van Tulleken and cinematographer Christopher Ross worked on episodes one and two together, establishing the look of the series. They have a deep understanding of each other's creative vision, collaborating on several TV shows over the years. For Shōgun, Jonathan and Chris created a visual experience that honors both the grandeur of feudal Japan and the disorientation of a foreign visitor like the “anjin,” John Blackthorne. The two met and created a look book and sizzle reel to present to FX. Jonathan drew inspiration from movies such as The Revenant and Apocalypse Now. Chris was influenced by classic Japanese films Ran, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and Akira Kirosawa's jidaigeki (historical drama) films. Most importantly, they wanted the show to be bold and stand out with a cinematic look and genuine artistic intention behind it. Chris chose anamorphic lenses and wider aspect ratios for the first two episodes, playing with the point of view of the outsider's subjectivity and disorientation. The choice of anamorphic lenses, which create a lot of background blur but keeps the character in crisp focus, may have seemed controversial, but has become more widely used on today's television shows. (Read this article from The Ringer to learn more.) Shōgun was shot in British Columbia during the winter, with the wild ocean shores of Canada and carefully designed soundstages standing in for Japan. Jonathan, Chris and the production team chose a lighting and color palette of browns and greens for the warring factions. Opulent costumes, warmer lights and colors represented palace life in Osaka, while in the village, the use of blues and grays reflected the harsh realities of the time period. The dialog is almost entirely in Japanese, and Jonathan actually enjoyed directing in a language he didn't speak. “It meant that you were not giving line readings, you couldn't give line readings. You had to direct in a much more pure way, dealing with the bigger arcs of the scene, the character development, without getting into very macro stuff that isn't helpful. I think you could just feel the emotion.” Chris agrees. “What you're hoping to achieve is some sort of emotional resonance with a character that is in tune with what they're saying and synchronous with what they're saying.” Find Jonathan Van Tulleken: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1743387/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Find Chris Ross: Instagram @edjibevel Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras www.hotrodcameras.com Get Tickets to Cinebeer 2024! https://www.tickettailor.com/events/hotrodcameras/1263845?

We also dig into age-gap relationships, inspired by the scrutiny surrounding Kristin Cavallari's love life.

We're continuing on our magical and mysterious pursuit through the world of royal jewellery and this week, we're talking about a collection of crown jewels that has been accumulating over many centuries. The Iranian National Jewels stand as one of the world's most expensive and extensive collections in the world. Matthew and Alyce examine their tumultuous history and decadent taste, including how the royal family ended up with the largest pink diamond known to man and the indulgent party that eventually led to their exile from Iran. They also share their favourite pieces and, of course, let you know where you can see the collection for yourself.   THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT The centuries of history of Iranian royalty Iran's extensive collection of lavish jewelled pieces A solid gold golden globe to house your loose gemstones The decadent party that led to Iranian royal family exile A two kilogram tiara with the world's largest pink diamond  MORE INFORMATION Iranian National Jewels  https://www.iransafar.co/iran-national-jewels-museum/  https://raseef22.net/english/article/1092915-irans-royal-jewels-a-dazzling-legacy-of-persian-kings-and-queens  Noor-ul-Ain Tiara https://royalwatcherblog.com/2023/10/14/noor-ul-ain-tiara/?utm_content=cmp-true  Social Media IG - @CourtvilleAntiquesFB - @CourtvilleantiquesTik Tok - @matthew.weldon    YouTube - @courtvilleantiquePinterest - @courtville Gem Pursuit is produced for Courtville by Dustpod.io. QUOTES It's always super important that we get the context of how these Crown Jewels got to where they actually are today. The Iranian Crown Jewels date back centuries, and it is super extensive and one of the most impressive collections we are going to see. - Matthew Weldon  It's pretty vast, and it has some of those important gemstones in history, as well as also having a lot of men's jewels. - Matthew Weldon  It's literally stuff out of fairy tales. These are not your normal pieces of jewellery. This is historical, otherworldly jewels. - Alyce Ketcher  What didn't they put jewels in? They put them in everything - Matthew Weldon, Alyce Ketcher These two stones, not only historically, but the fact that they are fancy Pink Diamonds, they are the largest in the world, it's thought that there is no way to actually put a value on them. - Alyce Ketcher HOST DETAILS Matthew Weldon took over Courtville in 2018 and continues today the rich legacy left behind by Kitten and Grainne. The Weldon family tree boasts a rich history of Irish jewellers going back over 135 years. Learning from a young age about the industry from his father, Matthew quickly gained a skilled eye and an appreciation for quality. Seeking to further his knowledge and expertise Matthew gained a degree in marketing and French which led to a short career as a chartered accountant. But with such a draw to antique and vintage jewellery it was inevitable that Matthew would continue the family tradition and build a business of his own. Like generations before, Matthew looks for the exceptional, rare and intriguing pieces and always ensures beauty, quality and fair prices. Alyce Ketcher has been working with jewels for over 15 years. During her time within the jewellery industry she has worked in Australia, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom and Ireland and gained qualifications through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (GEM-A). As a qualified gemologist Alyce is able to use her extensive knowledge of diamonds and gemstones to identify and value jewellery from all periods. Working with antique and vintage jewels is her passion, and you can often find her researching hallmarks, inspecting gemstones or writing about our latest find.

rom luxury resort hotels to private jets and fine restaurants, former house speaker Kevin McCarthy really knows how to live it up. According to an analysis done by the LA Times, campaign finance records show that from 2012 through last June, McCarthy's PAC paid more than $1 million on such things. To put that in perspective, that's more than double the combined total spent by the leadership PACs of the seven other top House and Senate leaders.

Do watch HG Gaurmandal Das, Vice-President Hare Krishna Movement- Mumbai giving lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam. Human society, at the present moment, is not in the darkness of oblivion. It has made rapid progress in the field of material comforts, education and economic development throughout the entire world. But there is a pinprick somewhere in the social body at large, and therefore there are large-scale quarrels, even over less important issues. There is need of a clue as to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will fill this need, for it is a cultural presentation for the re-spiritualization of the entire human society. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam should be introduced also in the schools and colleges, for it is recommended by the great student-devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja in order to change the demoniac face of society.

Opulent jewelled objects ranked among the most highly valued works of art in the European Middle Ages. At the same time, precious stones prompted sophisticated reflections on the power of nature and the experience of mineralized beings. Beyond a visual regime that put a premium on brilliant materiality, how can we account for the ubiquity of gems in mediaeval thought? In The Mineral and the Visual: Precious Stones in Medieval Secular Culture (Penn State University Press, 2022), art historian Dr. Brigitte Buettner examines the social roles, cultural meanings, and active agency of precious stones in secular mediaeval art. Exploring the layered roles played by gems in aesthetic, ideological, intellectual, and economic practices, Dr. Buettner focuses on three significant categories of art: the jewelled crown, the pictorialized lapidary, and the illustrated travel account. The global gem trade brought coveted jewels from the Indies to goldsmiths' workshops in Paris, fashionable bodies in London, and the crowns of kings across Europe, and Buettner shows that Europe's literal and metaphorical enrichment was predicated on the importation of gems and ideas from Byzantium, the Islamic world, Persia, and India. Original, transhistorical, and cross-disciplinary, The Mineral and the Visual engages important methodological questions about the work of culture in its material dimension. It will be especially useful to scholars and students interested in mediaeval art history, material culture, and mediaeval history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The global gem trade brought coveted jewels from the Indies to goldsmiths' workshops in Paris, fashionable bodies in London, and the crowns of kings across Europe, and Buettner shows that Europe's literal and metaphorical enrichment was predicated on the importation of gems and ideas from Byzantium, the Islamic world, Persia, and India. Original, transhistorical, and cross-disciplinary, The Mineral and the Visual engages important methodological questions about the work of culture in its material dimension. It will be especially useful to scholars and students interested in mediaeval art history, material culture, and mediaeval history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Opulent jewelled objects ranked among the most highly valued works of art in the European Middle Ages. At the same time, precious stones prompted sophisticated reflections on the power of nature and the experience of mineralized beings. Beyond a visual regime that put a premium on brilliant materiality, how can we account for the ubiquity of gems in mediaeval thought?

De tijd is aangebroken dat Wally geen hondje meer is maar een kwestie. Maar ook: een familielid. Gijs moet eraan geloven en haar accepteren zoals ze is. Teun heeft een ambivalente houding ten opzichte van zijn gear. Nadert hij de perfectie of maakt het hem juist een amateur? Verder wil hij op zijn begrafenis de dramatiek uitmelken en prijzen we slechte muziekdocumentaires. Hanneke steekt de loftrompet over een moderne klassieker maar spoilert niet. Teun is te onvoorzichtig met zijn bril voor een beschermlaag en Gijs sluit af met een onderschat Paul-liedje.

The Eighth Wonder of the World. A priceless piece of art. The world's greatest lost treasure. A marvel of Baroque architecture. Opulent. Dazzling. Unique. These are just a few ways that Russia's Amber Room has been described. A room crafted entirely from amber, gold and precious stones that served as a space for the country's royalty for centuries. However, in the dying days of WW2, the Amber Room vanished from its Russian palace home, and it has never been seen again. Today, a replica stands in its place. How did an entire room disappear and why hasn't it been discovered in the last eight decades? This is the tale of the mysterious Amber Room.

Ignoring Solomon's wives: what does his actual wealth indicate?

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.So far:Amos preached a message of divine judgment, demanding repentance.Religion without righteousness is worthless.Economic and political prosperity are not necessarily a sign of divine approval.Opulent, self-directed living plus lack of concern for the needy is reprehensible.Yahweh's reign is over all the earth, not just over Israel.Since the law demands covenant faithfulness, without which the ultimate penalty of exile will be exacted, and since Israel has refused to listen to her prophets, she will surely go into captivity.Amos encountered official opposition.Religion in Israel was closely allied with the state. Power appears to have intoxicated the priests of the corrupt system of Jeroboam.Amaziah, priest at Bethel, commands Amos to return to Judah. "Southerner, go home!"The prophet remains undaunted.Light-hearted harvest is to become heavy-hearted judgment (8:1-3)Songs of joy in the season of plenty will become dirges and laments in time of judgment.The summer fruit (in August or September) would have been figs or pomegranates.Word-play: qayits means summer fruit (2 Samuel 16:1-2); qets means end. It's the end of Israel; the time is ripe!In these verses the message is no longer “Seek the Lord and live” (5:6). Now it has become: “It's too late; you must die” (like a physician telling patient his disease is terminal).That day (v.3) is none other than the day of 5:18-20. The Assyrians will surely come, though this is still a couple of decades off.Love of money at any cost (8:4-7)8:4-7 echoes 2:6-8. The entrepreneurs are running roughshod over the poor.The rapacity of the leaders reached criminal proportions. For an illustration of how the powerful seized whatever they desired, read 1 Kings 21 and 2 Kings 9 (the incident with Naboth's vineyard).They are impatient for the Sabbath to be over, so that they can get back to business (exploiting the poor). Israel was, as it were, eager to get out of church as quickly as possible in order to return to their favorite activity: making more money.God will bring an earthquake! (8:8)The earthquake (judgment) motif is also found in 2:13, 3:14-15, 9:1, and of course 1:1. Amos' prophecies would have grown greatly in credibility after the quake (see Zechariah 14:5).“… Amos perceives [the foundations of materialistic greed] to be so firm that only an earthquake can shatter its proud structures.” Craigie 185Then the prophet's imagery moves from the common to the metaphorical.Darkness, baldness, death8:9-10 – eclipse.Interestingly, there were two total eclipses in Amos' lifetime (9 February 784 BC, 15 June 763 BC). These would not have failed to impress the Israelites!Isaiah 30:26 and many other metaphorical passages describe blessing/punishment in terms of amplification/reduction of various natural phenomena.V.10 -- baldness refers to heads shaved in mourning (Jeremiah 16:6).The loss of an only son = goodbye to continued existence, personhood or progeny. See Jeremiah 6:26, Zechariah 12:10 (also Luke 7 – the widow of Nain).Spiritual famineThe famine has been caused by godless leaders, and failure on both their part and the people's to heed the word of God.This is not like Matthew 5:6. For these persons will stumble in their seeking, yet not find (as they refuse to repent).See 2 Chronicles 15:2-4.Word of God as bread: Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4 (Luke 4:4), Isaiah 55:1-3.V.13 -- When the young men/women (youth) are gone, there's no hope for the future. It's the end of the nation.Israel will fall, never to rise again. (Read about how Israel was dismantled and destroyed in 2 Kings 17-25).ConclusionIs there any hope for Israel? Perhaps a better question, is there any hope for us?Will we escape if we continue to ignore the word of the Lord?Am I giving my heart to something bigger than myself, to the message of Christ, to the cross of Christ, to the body of Christ and being transformed into the character of Christ?How many church members fail to read Amos, supposing it has nothing to say to them, no vital message? May it never be so.And last, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?AdvancedOn their cheating in business, the ephah = 22 liters, the shekel 11g. Merchants would line the basket to make it heavier, or use a larger counterweight than legal in the scales (Proverbs 11:1, 16:11, 20:10,23).Re: v.9: This is apocalyptic language, not literal. Like Isaiah 30:26, Joel 2:28-32, Acts 2, and the book of Revelation. How many passages with apocalyptic language can you locate in the Bible?Re: v.12 – sea to sea = S to W; N to E (Dead Sea to Great Sea [Mediterranean], North to West: all four cardinal directions. The famine -- the judgment -- is national.V.14 -- "from Dan to Beersheba" means from one end of the land to another (see Judges 20:1).

Safeguarded by a ceremonial gate characteristic of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the architecture is staggering in both accuracy and majesty, embodying centuries of traditions and stories in every ornate feature. Moving beyond the entrance, shops and street vendors, bursting with color and intrigue, invite us to pause and peruse. Wandering the streets of this pavilion, we get swept up by the elaborate narratives that play out in elegant parasols and whimsical cats, in captivating sights and mouthwatering aromas. On the right side of the pavilion, the House of Prayer stands sentinel as the crowning jewel of this space. Opulent and adorned with authenticity, this curvilinear space is a place of rest and quiet reflection. It is imperative in its tranquility, beckoning us to find a moment of pause, enveloped by its gentle grace. Outside, charming footbridges carry us into a mindful state of contemplation - past thickets of bamboo and little waterfalls spilling into pools scattered with water lilies. The ambient music here is, unsurprisingly, as perfectly balanced as its architecture. As we listen, we are, without conscious effort, drawn into a state of Zen. Now, enjoy the sounds of Epcot's China Pavilion.
