Charlie Miller, OBE, 1945
The saddest news has been announced in Edinburgh that the fabulous city hairdresser, Charlie Miller, has died aged 80. He was a self-made businessman, and there are several hair salons in the city bearing his name, and which are now managed by his two sons Jason and Josh. The business celebrated its 50th anniversary just a few years ago, testament to the foundations on which it was built. Sadly, Charlie had been ill for some years with Alzheimer's, having first been diagnosed in 2015. He died in the Queen's Manor Care Home surrounded by his family and of course his childhood sweetheart, Janet. Josh and Jason who are Managing Directors in the business said: 'We're heartbroken to share the news of our dad's passing. Charlie was so much more than the name above the door – he was a force of creativity, integrity, and love. He built something truly special: not just a business, but a family. We're proud to be his sons, and to carry forward the legacy he began.' Charlie and his hairdressing became world renowned and he was inducted into the AIPP Hall of Fame in 2022. Association Internationale Presse Professionnelle Coiffure, recognised his contribution to hairdressing with their highest honour. Charlie's kindness, humility, and genuine love for people defined both his personal and professional life. He touched the lives of so many – from his loyal clients and trusted colleagues to the wider creative community. He is survived by his devoted wife Janet, sons Jason and Josh, daughter-in-law India, four grandchildren, his sister Helen and extended family. It is especially sad that he died in the same year as his great friend, Sir Tom Farmer. The two businessmen went to the North Pole some time back. Charlie said: 'I went to the North Pole with Sir Tom Farmer – one of my famous friends! – I cut his hair there for charity in 2010. When he asked me I had to think about it for about half an hour and then I said I would do it as long as it raised money for Teenage Cancer Trust. I had to cut his hair really quickly! I had a hat on but he was feeling the cold. I have known Tom for ages. He is an amazing man.' And just like Sir Tom Farmer Charlie Miller was an exceptional man with more than a few stories to tell. But we are very glad that he met with us in 2016 to tell us a story about Sir Tom and their great friendship – and that we captured him on camera which you can see below. The mystery of a Trevor Yerbury portrait of Charlie was one which tickled him very much. The Edinburgh Reporter offers sincere condolences to Janet, Jason, Josh, india and all the family.

Why are people living off grid in Maine? It's simple.
'It's a lot of work to live off the grid,' he said. 'Some people couldn't pull it off. It's a way of life where you've got your garden, you're heating with wood. It lowers your expenses. You don't have to worry about the price of oil or electricity. Some people even build or renovate their own homes.' Mooers explained the folks who live off the grid aren't looking for an easy life, but they want a simpler life. They're more than happy to forgo some modern conveniences to escape traffic, crime, and noise. A typical buyer looking to move off-grid is somewhere in their 50s, but he said they come in all ages and from all over. Advertisement 'The best way to do it is to plan,' he said. 'You don't just quit your job, load up the Subaru, and head north. Some people do it that way, but that makes your chances of success slimmer. You need shelter and four cords of seasoned wood by November. You can't live in a camper over the winter. Plan your work and work your plan.' Mooers said the cost of a 10- to 15-acre lot in Northern Maine can run between $24,900 and $34,900, depending on road accessibility, the quality and condition of the woods, and other amenities like great views and the presence of a water source such as a stream. Jason and Jennifer Remillard on their Maine homestead in front of their solar array and shed. Jennifer Remillard For 10 years, Jason and Jennifer Remillard, now in their 50s, planned and saved before they bought 54 acres on the Canadian border in 2019. There was nothing but an old hunting cabin on it at the time. In 2021, they moved there permanently and began building what would become 'A vision quest is a journey that typically a young person does, where they leave their home, and they go and search for themselves,' Jason said. 'For us, we're middle-aged, all of our kids are grown, and we did well for ourselves, financially. This is our own Hanbleceya. It so happens it's in the northeast woods of Maine.' They grow flowers, vegetables, and fruits in raised beds. They've even planted an orchard. The cabin has plumbing — well water, an underground gray water system for sinks, shower, laundry, and composting toilets — and electricity powered by solar and a gas generator as well as two woodstoves. They hope to do more hunting and fishing, and even get some horses and other livestock once they're done building out the ranch's infrastructure. Advertisement Jen canned homemade chili in the Remillards' cabin. Jason Remillard 'We built out our cabin, which is two Amish-built cabins that we joined with in a T formation,' he said. 'That's the main structure. Then, we have a carport. We built a solar power shed, an outdoor kitchen, a storage shed, which is also the original cabin that was on the property. We built a greenhouse, another small storage shed, a workshop, and a firewood shed.' Jason said he and Jennifer did all this with virtually no carpentry experience. Most of their projects are documented on their YouTube channel, where they show viewers what life off the grid in Maine is really like — learning as they go. A moose made a visit to Hanbleceya Ranch in Northern Maine. Jennifer Remaillard Their three Australian cattle dogs make cameos in nearly every video and seem to be enjoying life in the woods as much as the Remillards. They say they've never been happier or healthier. They live 26 miles from the nearest gas station, and neighbors are few and far between. They say they've found people to be genuinely helpful, giving advice, loaning extra firewood, or engaging in conversation. There's a sizable Amish population in the 'The Amish play a critical role in everyone's everyday life here,' Jason said. 'They have several businesses that that we all rely on. They have a metal shop where damned near everybody purchases their tin from for their roofs and other metal. They've got a construction supply store and several others. It's a very close-knit relationship, and we are all quite intertwined.' Advertisement There are as many ways to live off the grid in Maine as there are people who do it. Barbara Martin, 69, lives alone with two dogs in a cabin on the water near the Canadian border and documents her life on her YouTube channel, Barbara Martin inside her off-grid home in Maine. Barbara J. Martin In 2019, after a couple of years driving around the country in an RV, she wanted to live on the water, so she bought 10 oceanfront acres with a 20-foot-by-32-foot, two-story summer camp. She had never lived off-grid, so she learned how to insulate the cabin for Northern Maine's harsh winters. Then, she paneled the interior with boards from disassembled wood pallets and had a woodstove installed. 'I'm an outdoor person,' she said. 'It isn't work. This is a lifestyle, and it's incredibly rewarding. If you really want to find out, you have to try it yourself. And I honestly believe most people will find it incredible being so self-sufficient. There's no way to describe it.' Here's one way to describe it. No electricity and no plumbing. She runs a 100-watt gas generator for about an hour each day to charge her phone, computers, and refrigerator. 'I cook on a butane camping stove in the summer and the woodstove in the winter,' she said. 'I get drinking water from a public spring a few miles away. And I go through about four cords of wood every winter. I use a composting toilet and believe it or not, I shower outside year-round.' Advertisement Barbara Martin enjoys kayaking in the summer. Barbara J. Martin As she closes in on her 70th birthday later this year, surely she misses some of the comforts and conveniences of conventional living? 'Absolutely nothing,' she said. 'I am an extremely independent person. I love my privacy and hate crowds. If anybody down your way is even considering off-grid property, the way the world's going, I honestly believe this is the best investment you can make for yourself and your family. Just find your spot and go for it.'

MCR Fans Outraged By RM6k Resale Concert Tickets; Alleged Scalper Responds
After teasing fans with cryptic billboard advertisements around Kuala Lumpur, it has finally been confirmed that legendary rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR) will be performing in Malaysia in 2026. This marks the band's first return to the country since 2007, when they played to a crowd of 10,000 at Stadium Merdeka. Tickets went on sale last week and, as anticipated, fans faced frustration due to bots and scalpers during the online queue. Not only were many left disappointed after failing to secure their tickets, but they were also outraged after finding out that this person is reselling his concert tickets at an extremely high price. Here's the story: Earlier this week, a Facebook user named Jason posted online that he was reselling 6 Zone C MCR concert tickets for RM6,000. He explained that the decision to give away the tickets was due to a recent breakup. 'I bought them for my girlfriend and her friends, but life had other plans; we broke up. So here I am, letting go of the tickets, and maybe a little bit of the past too,' he wrote. The user acknowledged that the asking price might seem high, but added that it is negotiable. Although he may not have had any ill intentions, netizens were quick to accuse him of being a scalper, as they are often known for buying tickets in bulk and reselling them at inflated prices. Some criticised the man, saying he should have resold the tickets at their original price, while others pointed out that ticket reselling is illegal, and that his tickets could immediately be voided if he were found guilty of such an act by the organisers. Following the backlash, the man defended himself, insisting he was not a scalper and pointing out that he was not forcing anyone to buy the tickets, as he had already accepted his losses. However, he appeared to contradict himself by justifying the high ticket price and admitting that he hoped to make a small profit. Regardless of whether the man was telling the truth or not, it is always advisable to purchase tickets only through official ticketing platforms or authorised sellers. As for what can be done to counter scalpers, you can simply just ignore them until they go too broke to resume their illegal business. Malaysian Communications Minister, YB Datuk Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil, also recently confirmed that an anti-scalping law is in motion, following the rising problem of concert ticket scalpers for international acts.

Dark Matter Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
Okay, Dark Matter fans, let's talk about that Season 2 itch we're all scratching. If you're anything like us, the Season 1 finale on Apple TV+ left you floored—multiverses, rogue Jasons, and that heart-pounding family escape had us all glued to the screen. With Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly killing it, the show's a sci-fi gem, and the good news? Season 2 is coming! But when? Who's back? And what's next? Here's the full rundown on Dark Matter Season 2 based on everything floating around right now. Is Dark Matter Season 2 Happening? Advertisement Yup, it's official! Apple TV+ gave Dark Matter the green light for Season 2 back in August 2024, not long after Season 1 wrapped on June 26, 2024. The show's a crowd-pleaser, rocking an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.7/10 on IMDb. Fans (myself included) can't get enough of its mix of brainy sci-fi and raw family drama, so Apple's betting big on more. Dark Matter Season 2 Potential Release Date No exact date yet, but let's piece it together. Filming started in Chicago in February 2025—Blake Crouch and Joel Edgerton spilled the beans on X. They're likely wrapping up by summer 2025. Season 1 took about 13 months from filming (October 2022 to April 2023) to hitting screens in May 2024. If Season 2 follows that pace, we're looking at fall 2025 for a premiere. Dark Matter Season 2 Cast Updates The core cast is expected to return, bringing continuity to the multiverse saga. Here's who we're likely to see again: Joel Edgerton as Jason Dessen (and his alternate versions): The physicist navigating alternate realities is the heart of the show, and Edgerton's dual role as star and executive producer ensures his return. Jennifer Connelly as Daniela Dessen: Jason's wife, a fan favorite, will continue to anchor the emotional stakes. Oakes Fegley as Charlie Dessen: The Dessen family's son is set to return as they face new challenges in an unknown universe. Alice Braga as Amanda Lucas: Her expanded role in Season 1 (compared to the novel) and her cliffhanger with Ryan suggest she'll play a big part in Season 2. Jimmi Simpson as Ryan Holder: With a more prominent role than in the book, Ryan's story in the multiverse is far from over. Dayo Okeniyi as Leighton Vance: His character's multiverse adventures were teased in the finale, hinting at a larger role. Amanda Brugel as Blaire: Promoted to a recurring role after appearing in Season 1, she's likely to explore the multiverse further. New faces may join the cast, as the multiverse allows for endless variations of characters. We'll update this section as casting news drops. What to expect in Dark Matter Season 2? Season 1 stuck close to Blake Crouch's 2016 novel, wrapping up its main plot but leaving us hanging with Jason, Daniela, and Charlie stepping into an unknown universe. Since there's no sequel book, Season 2 is charting new territory, which has fans both excited and nervous. Here's what we might see: The Dessen Family's New Reality: Where did Jason, Daniela, and Charlie land? The finale left their destination ambiguous, but they likely chose a universe where their alternate selves don't exist. Season 2 could explore their struggle to adapt to this new world and whether they're truly safe from other Jasons. Amanda and Ryan's Journey: Their unexpected reunion in the finale hints at a deeper story. Will they team up to navigate the multiverse or face new threats? Multiverse Expansion: With characters like Leighton, Dawn, and Blaire interacting with the Box, Season 2 could dive into new realities and their consequences. Expect more 'mind-bending realities' as promised by Crouch. Blake Crouch, who's writing and running the show, has promised a 'deeper dive' into the characters' lives. He expanded roles like Amanda's in Season 1 without losing the book's spirit, so there's hope he'll keep Season 2 fresh yet true to the vibe. On X, he's teased 'more twists' and a focus on survival, which sounds like classic Dark Matter.
