One of PALACE magazine’s esteemed Luxury Expert columnist – Alexander Karolik-Shlaen – who has written for the magazine since 2009, has appeared in various regional and global media, TV, and is frequently sought to attend established business forums, writes about his personal experience with some crazy rich Asians in properties he has met and known in his career. Luxury Expert columnist – Alexander Karolik-Shlaen There are plenty of rich Asians in the business of luxury. Some are golf fanatics; some love watches and spend fortunes on their collections; others love big, fancy yachts or exorbitantly priced supercars. But all have one thing in common – the love of property! So, it’s hard not to subscribe to this pan-Asian “religion”. For affluent individuals, this “religion” is also their main source of fortune. For the ones who draw their billions, not from property, they still invest heavily in property, usually the trophy kind, and more likely a lion’s share of their income is go...

Ethfinex plans to host token sales and ICOs within its platform. The company has developed what they believe to be a more equitable method for involving investors in ICOs. Will Decentralized ICOs Level the Playing Field? Ethfinex will soon offer users the opportunity to participate in token sales and ICOs provided directly through the exchange platform. Both Ethfinex and Bitfinex are under the umbrella of parent company iFinex Inc and a message on Ethfinex’s blog says that additional details of the first sale are expected with days. Ethfinex’s platform is also undergoing a series of upgrades that will improve user experience and ensure that the platform has the functionality to support token sales. The platform will utilize a “random draw mechanism’” to select users who are cleared to participate in token sales. This is intended to prove that the process is fair. Ethfinex also mentions that the majority of token sales on the platform will be “exclusive to Ethfinex or availab...

Omaha synth-punk were a key part of the early-’00s electroclash wave, and they were also a key part of the early-’00s Saddle Creek wave that also brought us their buddy Bright Eyes. These two waves should’ve been fundamentally opposed to one another — moving in opposite directions across the ocean — and yet there the Faint were. A 2001 performance of theirs in Brooklyn absolutely peeled my cap back; it remains one of the best live shows I have ever seen. And they are still out here. Last year, our FYF Fest correspondent Ian “Redacted” Cohen was surprised to learn that people are still really into the Faint. This probably has something to do with the fact that the Faint fucking rule . The last time they released anything new was when they included a couple of new tracks in a 2016 career-spanning collection. (Frontman Todd Fink has also released music with CLOSENESS , his duo with wife, Azure Ray’s Orenda Fink.) But today, they return with the fearsome new single “Chameleon Nights....

After implementation of their version of “Segwit”, Monero transaction fees are near zero. Because of that, Bittrex and Binance have responded by slashing withdrawal fees to a mere $0.01. This is bullish and coincidentally it happens at a time when Litecoin plans to execute core 0.17 promising to drive down network fees by a factor of 10. These developments spur adoption which in turn builds demand which is what traders need to see. Let’s have a look at these charts: EOS/USD EOS Price Analysis Despite lower lows and a ranging market, momentum is building up in line with our last EOS trade plan . Complementing Oct 25 doji candlestick yesterday ended up higher with another long lower wick point to increasing demand in lower time frames. Now, because of our positive outlook, it’s likely that a bullish break out will print and in that case we recommend taking a wait and see approach in the next few days. Once there are conclusive breaks above $7, then traders can begin buying on dips i...

by: Christina Hernandez Oct 26, 2018 “How could you possibly hate on Skrillex ? He’s such an amazing artist and human being,” one might ask. The answer lies in the news cycle on October 24, when it came to my attention that the beloved Sonny Moore was preparing to release a brand new track. This seemed innocuous enough for me; there are deeply diehard Skrillex fans on our staff, and while I am not necessarily one of them, I can appreciate his undeniable talent and how much his body of work has done for electronic music. Moreover, he’s known for being one of the most genuinely caring and kind people in the entertainment industry — which is perhaps part of what makes this recent news such a cutting blow. The momentary innocuousness quickly got swept under the rug for me when I saw the very first name on the list of collaborators in this new track’s social media promotion: XXXTentacion . The same XXXTentacion who came up during the SoundCloud rap revolution, and was senselessly ...

An advisory committee of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) wants the agency to provide additional guidelines for the taxation of crypto transactions, according to a 2018 general report published Oct. 24. Although in 2014 the IRS had already issued commentary specifically on digital currencies ,  recommending they be treated as a property, the Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee (IRPAC) believes that crypto-specific taxation should be reviewed due to the growing public interest in cryptocurrencies. The crypto industry itself and those who work in taxes often still are uncertain when it comes to the “tax consequences” of cryptocurrency transactions, the report goes on. The advisors further list the main questions surrounding the current taxation scheme: “Many industry and tax practitioners still question other tax consequences of cryptocurrency transactions. For example: Can cryptocurrency be considered a specified foreign financial asset? How is the bas...

Halloween is just about here which means it is high time to get your Halloween playlist in order. But don’t worry, I’m here to help all you ghouls kick out the scary jams on all All Hallows’ Eve in style. No offense to Bobby Pickett and his “Monster Mash” and other musical Halloween novelties, but this list is all about the unholy union of heavy metal and horror. Let’s check out thirteen head banging tracks from five metal bands which take their love of horror and heavy metal to the next level. F.K.Ü. F.K.Ü. The first album/demo from this Swedish heavy metal band, Beware of the Evil Ünderwear (1998), had a couple of S.O.D. covers including “United Forces,” also covered by Ministry . Despite their cool, kind of confusing name (which stands for Freddie Krueger’s Ünderwear), F.K.Ü . takes the marriage of horror and metal very, very seriously. How seriously? Well, let’s say that within the band’s catalog are songs based on films like Maniac Cop (1988), Friday the 13th...

Following the implementation of stricter European data protection regulations earlier this year, cybersecurity is at the top of the agenda of most businesses providing services, particularly in the context of protecting customer data. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), if organisations suffer a data breach, they could now face fines of up to €20 million or four per cent of their annual global turnover, whichever is highest. There is also a heightened threat to all business due to the potential reputational damage data breaches may cause, as we have seen with the example of BA. As such, more businesses are looking to bolster their defences to remain compliant and avoid unnecessary fines and crippling effects of damages to their reputation. Thus, it should come as no surprise that regulators globally have already been focusing on the importance of strong cyber defences. For example, in addition to GDPR, in the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has listed cyber...

Ahh winter, it’s the season of cuffing, pumpkin spiced lattes and frantically Googling if it is possible to die from frostbite. It’s for this latter reason that it’s also a time when the fabrics that make up your wardrobe become more important than ever. Single-digit temperatures means it’s time to stow your linen. Swap fair-weather fabrics for one of these seven heavyweight options that pack a chill-beating punch, to ensure you’re never caught off guard. Even when you’re blindsided by the forecast. Cashmere Cashmere’s expensive, sure, but your investment pays dividends. It’s three times as insulating as wool, meaning you don’t need bulky layers to stay warm, and it’s an unalloyed pleasure against your skin, since the fibres are less than 19 microns thick – around a quarter the width of human hair. That is, so long as it is unalloyed. If there’s no label in sight, you can tell the good stuff by rubbing it between your fingers. If it feels oily, it’s cut with lambswool, so don’t p...
