Celebrities and Design Nuts Love This Luxury Store in Manhattan. You Can Shop It From Anywhere.

The New York City design firm Roman and Williams had a global portfolio of homes, hotels and restaurants under its belt when it opened its SoHo shop in 2017. Custom pieces always shaped its interiors, from the glamorous Boom Boom Room lounge atop the city's Standard Hotel to residences for the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow. The shop, Roman and Williams Guild, extended its wares' reach beyond its elite clientele. Design nuts soon converged on it.
Guided less by one style than a love of craft, history and nature, the Roman and Williams team uses a modern eye to nudge traditional forms into the here and now, explains Robin Standefer, who with husband Stephen Alesch founded the studio. 'None of the pieces speak too loudly,' said Standefer of their own designs as well as those on offer from artisans around the world.

Future of Multi-Asset Trade Analysis: The FX Trader's EDGE Launches Dashboard that Consolidates Strategy and Scanning

Jody Samuels, founder of The FX Trader's EDGE, has spent decades teaching traders how to succeed. Now, she's built a tool that brings all the moving pieces together in one place. The FX Trader's EDGE Dashboard, launched recently, is built for retail traders across stocks, ETFs, futures, forex, and cryptocurrencies. The dashboard is a consolidated hub for market scanning, strategy training, trade plans, and more. The vision behind the product was simple. Before this, there were separate scanners for different asset classes. Traders had to jump between platforms, reference PDFs, and patch together watchlists manually. The new dashboard eliminates that noise and replaces it with clarity. Included with the dashboard, users can access Wavy Tunnel PRO training, Jody's proprietary strategy that simplifies Elliott Wave theory into practical setups. 'Alongside the training modules are complete trade plans for each setup,' Jody explains. 'With this, traders know exactly how to identify and execute trades based on trends, reversals, and sideways action.' But the true strength of the dashboard lies in its scanning capabilities. It performs end-of-day scans on daily and weekly timeframes across all major asset classes. One can filter by price, volume, market cap, sector, optionability, percent daily change, dividend yields, and even earnings dates. It picks up clearly defined Wavy Tunnel PRO setups, including reversal, continuation, and sideways trades. The system even tells users how many candles ago the signal occurred. Traders can set alerts to get notified by email when new opportunities appear based on their selected filters, creating a dynamic watchlist. They can also take annotated chart screenshots and save these notes directly within the dashboard, turning it into a live trading journal. This journal becomes a searchable database, allowing users to find their notes with a simple click of a button. The platform doesn't execute trades, but it empowers the trader with everything they need to make trades confidently. Traders can view lower timeframes, such as one-hour or 15-minute charts, giving them the ability to fine-tune entries after the system flags potential setups. And for those who want deeper guidance, Jody hosts bi-weekly live sessions with dashboard users to go over trades, review setups, and answer questions. While built to support the Wavy Tunnel PRO strategy, the dashboard is designed to support any trader looking for consistent, repeatable analysis. Whether one trades options on stocks or spot forex pairs, the setup logic applies. This makes it truly cross-functional and ideal for traders who analyze global markets. To ensure accessibility for retail traders, this institutional-grade dashboard is offered at an affordable price while maintaining a high level of education, support, and scanning functionality. However, individuals can access the dashboard with a free trial, allowing them to experience all its features and benefits at no cost. What also sets the platform apart is its agility. Jody works closely with a technology partner to roll out updates quickly. This is not a static product. It's a living, evolving toolkit that responds to trader feedback and real market conditions. The Wavy Tunnel PRO Dashboard was designed as an analysis platform, not a brokerage. It's not here to execute trades. It's here to help traders find them, plan them, track them, and improve from them. It brings strategy, data, and education together in one centralized trading becomes more competitive, consolidation is powerful. This dashboard offers structure to traders who are overwhelmed with tools and systems. It gives them a workflow, insight, and gives them back control. Jody states, 'Whether it's to scan, filter, plan, learn, and grow, we're driving our platform to be the one-stop shop for it all.' Investing involves risk and your investment may lose value.

Jeremy Clarkson to finally offer ‘banned' product at pub after huge demand

Jeremy Clarkson will finally sell tomato sauce at his pub after originally declaring the eatery a 'no ketchup' zone. When the 65-year-old opened his Oxfordshire watering hole The Farmer's Dog in August 2024, he revealed it would 'serve exclusively British food'. This meant that the popular condiment, which is made from ingredients grown outside the UK, would be banned from the menu. Following thousands of requests from customers, however, Clarkson has approved the sauce's addition to the menu after a Chatham-based producer made it using solely British ingredients. Condimaniac ketchup is made of tomato passata from Isle of Wight, apple cider vinegar from Hants, Essex salt, and sugar and onions sourced from Britain. 'Making a 100 per cent British ketchup after Jeremy Clarkson alerted us to the fact there wasn't one was very hard,' the company's boss Kier Kemp said in an Instagram video chronciling the sauce's creation. 'It turned out to be really hard,' he added, noting Clarkson's Diddly Squat team requested the sauce 'as soon as possible'. Kemp said the company is making two sauces at the same time – one containing carrots and onion 'used to thicken' the sauce, as there is no purely British tomato puree. Condimaniac, which started with 1,700 bottles, will be offered at the Clarkson's butcher and bottle shop. It sauce will also be sold at Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop, based in Chipping Norton, from Friday (15 August). The move is a big turnaround from Clarkson, considering the former Grand Tour star became so fed up with requests that a sign was put up telling customers to stop asking for the condiment. Speaking about the products on offer when the pub first opened its doors, Clarkson said: 'The menu changes – it's whatever we've got. There's no Coca-Cola, no coffee. Other pubs do coffee. We do British food. 'Everything that you consume in here – every single thing – even the black pepper and the sugar, is grown by British farmers.' Diddly Squat, a 1,000-acre holding, is at the centre of Clarkson's Farm, which follows the TV presenter's journey as a new farmer and the challenges he faces along the way. The 64-year-old former Top Gear presenter paid less than £1m for the pub based in Asthall, which was formerly known as The Windmill. Its opening, however, was marred by complaints surrounding the absence of prices on the menu, with many fans suspecting that this might suggest dishes would be more expensive than at other pubs in the area. When one person joked on X/Twitter that they would need to remortgage their home to afford a round of drinks at Clarkson's pub, the presenter bluntly responded: 'It's £5.50 a pint.'
