At the Learning Center of Sufficiency Economy in Southern Thailand's Yala province, the vision of Thai agriculture as set out by the country's King Bhumibol Adulyadej has reached its fecund best. Like many other parts of Thailand, villagers come to this agricultural laboratory to learn from the monarch's Sufficiency Economy philosophy, which bundles together concepts of sustainable development, rural self-reliance and equitable income distribution.

The number of youth who have volunteered to enlist has skyrocketed...
...wear red," designer Pauline Trigre reportedly said. And despite an inclination toward a more somber palette in these sobering times, designers are now abiding by her rosy words. At Dior, John Galliano sent an oriental-red power skirt suit with cheongsam fastenings down the runway and made a splash with rain boots that would brighten any forecast. Tolomeo's red table lamp adds a dash of spice to the home, while Fendi's leather handbag is a primary touch for fall. And Giorgio Armani's red Swarovski dragonfly glasses are sure to give any ensemble that extra buzz...
