DIED. SIR STANLEY MATTHEWS, 85, English football icon; in Staffordshire, northern England. Famed for fooling opponents
with his trademark left-right “shimmy”, Matthews was also known as a gentleman player: he was never booked during his 33-year
career. Matthews, who made his professional debut in 1932 at age 17, won innumerable trophies and in 1965 became Britain's first
football knight After playing more than 750 matches, including 54 for the England team, he retired in 1965 at the record age of 50,
later saying his only regret was that he quit too soon.
2. Qual foi, segundo suas próprias palavras, o único arrependimento de Stanley Matthews?

Sometimes things all work out in the end. Look what happened to Chicagoans Douglas Van Tress and Chauwarin Tuntisak. About
four years ago, their jewelry business was on the brink of bankruptcy. Both men - then in their 20s - were forced to take restaurant
jobs to make ends meet. “We almost gave up”, Van Tress recalls, “But we decided to make one more go of it.” Fortunately for
them, Tuntisak has a very supportive and entrepreneurial family back in Thailand. Equally fortunate, the family hails from Chiang
Mai, an old city in the northern part of the country that is lush, scenic, and blessed with natural resources. It is also a trade center,
famous for its woodcarvings, lacquerware, ceramics, and other crafts. One of Tuntisak’s sisters noticed that European dealers were
scouring Chiang Mai, scooping up all kinds of contemporary wood carvings. Recognizing this hot new trend, she shipped her
brother some of the best carvings in the region.
