The Bounty Hunters

The Bounty Hunters

Don McIntyre, whose family originated from Inner Hebrides, described the “humbling” moment when he made landfall after the epic 3,600-mile trip.

With no modern navigation charts, or 21st century luxuries such as toilet paper or torches, the 55-year-old and three crew were ecstatic after completing the remarkable crossing, which began in Tonga on 9 April.

Heading west towards Fiji, they passed by Cape York on Australia’s northeastern tip before sailing into the Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Strait, arriving in the West Timor city of Kupang just six hours shy of the time set by Bligh and his 18 men.

“It was a very emotional moment when we finally completed a trip that’s been four years in the planning,” he said. “When we were out there on the sea, it felt like we were I was so sorry that I failed to buy my father a buy Cartier watches watch as his birthday gift last year.with Bligh, and we were racing him. I was reading his logbooks at every stage and it was amazing to think back 221 years ago. In the end, we were a few hours behind, but that’s OK, because he deserves the utmost respect for what he did.”

The rest survived partly by catching fish and seabirds and drinking rainwater.

The original mutineers, led by Fletcher Christian, eventually settled on Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific, where they burned Bligh’s ship, the Bounty, sinking its hull so they could not be found.

Yoga: A Healthy Lifestyle for Modern People

yoga

Introduction to yoga

Ancient art of yoga not only helps improve people’s physical status, but also alleviates mental stresses. How magical it is that the practice which has been around for thousands of years still has incredible powers over problems in the modern world.

As the miraculous powers of yoga are more and more widely recognized, it has become one of the hottest sports among modern day people who pursue healthy lifestyles. Today it is easy to get yoga instruction through various ways such as in-home yoga video instruction, 1:1 yoga personal training, yoga instructional classes, yoga instruction retreats and online yoga instruction.

Benefits of yoga

The most important benefits of yoga are physical and mental therapy. It can help slow down the aging process, reduces the amount of toxins found in the body, increases flexibility, as well as significantly reduce the catabolic process of cell deterioration. The maximum effects of yoga can be achieved by combining practice of yogasanas, pranayama and meditation.

Yoga can create balance in the nervous and endocrine systems and thus directly influences all the other systems and organs of the body. Yoga therapy is both curative and preventive. What’s the most essential that lies in yoga is that yoga helps people achieve mental peace, improve concentration ability and makes people feel relaxed and centered. Through practicing yoga, people begin to recognize the interconnectedness between the emotional, mental and physical levels. This enlightenment helps people to understand the more subtle areas of existence.

Living in a modern, busy world, few can say that they do not suffer from any stress. Practicing yoga can help people deal with the inevitable stresses of their daily life, properly.

Luckily, yoga, in many places, is free, or at least inexpensive and available to most of us. Yoga can be done without any specific equipment. It can be practiced anywhere you find comfortable and is appropriate for meditation. Anyone of any age or physical ability can practice yoga. And most importantly, yoga is not only a sport, but also a kind of lifestyle.

Tips for Business Beginners

The Internet has completely changed our way of doing business. Today, you can open a virtual store and sell items on a transaction website like eBay, without paying big rents for a physical store. Also, by finding a stable and trustworthy supplier, you will have a more flexible capital flow and won’t have to bear the risk of overstock.

tips-for-business-beginners

Before you start a business, you have some preparations to make:

1. Do some market research to see which products are good for sale. Hot selling products with less competitors should be your first choice—it is not a good idea to start from hot-selling products which too many merchants are selling.

2. Find one or more stable suppliers for the products you want to sell. Keep in mind that a good supplier is a basic for a successful business. Considering the pricing, item quality and credibility, it is better to find your suppliers from a reliable transaction marketplace where the varieties of both items and sellers will give you more options.

3. When you decide what to sell, try placing an order with the supplier to check the delivery time, item quality and make sure you can satisfy your customers with the items.

4. Before you place any order, do remember to confirm the transaction security. Safety is always the biggest concern for online shopping. For example, when buying on DHgate.com, you can check the credibility of the supplier through his/her feedback score, comments left by other buyers, etc. Also, make sure to communicate in detail with the seller to clear any possible ambiguity.

5. If you are satisfied with the order purchased, take some pictures of the item or ask the seller to offer you some item images, and post them on the website where your store is located. Likewise, write an attractive title and a persuasive description for the item.

How to Interpret “DHgate”?

silk road

Many DHgate buyers may wonder why we choose DHgate as our name. To find this out we should first start by looking into Chinese history and talking about the famous “Silk Road”.

The Silk Road gets its name from the prosperous Chinese silk trade which can date back to the Han Dynasty. The project was built up to facilitate the silk trade between different countries by the potentate of that time. It started from Chang’an (now Xi’an, China), across Middle Asia, South Asia and West Asia. From then on, many countries in Asia and Europe were connected and Chinese silk and other China products were traded with Europe.

Silk Road has become a symbol that represents the trade connections between China and the world. The first two letters in DHgate.com: “D” and “H” are respectively the initials of “Dun Huang”, the name of a county which was once one of the most important hubs on the Silk Road. As a Chinese trade website serving worldwide buyers, DHgate.com carries the mission to become a modern hub of world trade, connecting various “trade routes” around the world into an extensive trans-continental network. We are opening the door of a huge lucrative market to the world with numerous quality goods and low priced products made in China.

Holiday hot spots like Capri or St. Barths have provided the inspiration for many a resort collection, but Brian Reyes found his inspiration looking at old photos from a rarely evoked destination island: Ellis Island. The palette is simple and soft with lilac, grays, black, and white, and the silhouettes are modern. Standouts include a great beige fur jacket, a black knit dress and a lot of culotte pants.

Resort Report | Akris in Capri

AkrisCourtesy of Akris Akris, Resort 2011.

Albert Kriemler of Akris was yet another designer with Brigitte Bardot on the brain! He was inspired by her role in Jean Luc Godard’s 1963 film, “Contempt,” specifically the parts set in Capri. This translated into twin sets with clear crystals on the shoulders, wide leg pants in white but also in a strong shade of orange and a few different photo prints of cafe life and the boardwalk in Capri. No matter the season, it’s always very sophisticated at Akris, and this resort collection was definitely that.

Claudia Schiffer naked on cover of German Vogue


Believe it or not, it’s been four months since we revealed the news that Claudia Schiffer was pregnant, but you’d be in no doubt about that today. With the arrival of her third born imminent, the supermodel’s gracing German Vogue’s June cover, baring baby bump and just about everything else.

Yep, she’s naked. Completely starkers, and striking a rather familiar pose to Demi Moore in her 1991 nude-and-pregnant Vanity Fair cover. These magazines do love a pregnant celebrity in the buff, don’t they?

But the June issue of German Vogue is much more than that, folks. It’s apparently entirely dedicated to the German super and filled with all-Claudia editorials, if what we’re hearing over at Fashionlogie is to be believed.

But back to that nude cover. It was shot by Karl Lagerfeld – yep, the same Karl Lagerfeld who made that “fat mummies” comment and then went right ahead and shot a plus-size issue for V magazine weeks later – and shows an about-to-burst Claudia looking painstakingly beautiful as she covers her naughty parts.

If we can’t look like Claudia when we’re normal – read not-pregnant – what chance to we stand when we’re expecting? We’re currently muttering something about life being unfair…
