Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Before we can wholeheartedly jump into this review of Stix Golf’s budget-minded clubs, we’ll need to acknowledge one fact: Stix Golf clubs are intended for golfers who aren’t yet good at playing golf. Mid- or low-handicap players would find them inadequate for passionate, devoted play, but newcomers will really appreciate the simplicity, and the price tag. By knowing what they’re about and who they’re selling to out there, Stix manages to build the right equipment for the right player. Still, the idea driving Stix into the golf market is that even rookie players or less passionate golfers deserve a good looking set of clubs built well enough to play the game. Stix accomplishes that mission with aplomb, selling new, full sets of 14 clubs for $999, classic sets for $799 and casual sets for $699. Buyers who think that’s a little steep can buy in with lightly-used sets for even less. No matter who the developing, casual or … [Read more...] about Stix Golf Clubs Review: Beginner Clubs That Are Better Than Rookies Expect

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The best high chairs boast bells and whistles that our grandparents never dreamed of, and yet, the best ones continue to deliver in a few key areas: durability, cleanability and the best positioning for children. After testing 10 high chairs over several weeks and researching many other bestsellers, I found the Graco Blossom 6-in-1 to be the best high chair overall considering how easy it was to clean, adjust, buckle and use. Not only does it support the baby in a proper eating position, but the tray is removable with an easy one-handed motion. Another favorite was the Peg Perego Siesta as the best splurge high chair. If you’re willing to spend another hundred dollars (or $200, depending on sales and colors), you’ll gain a few more features in the Peg Perego, including the ability to fold it for storage and a slightly elevated look. (Read my in-depth reviews of the Graco Blossom and the Peg Perego Siesta .) Then there … [Read more...] about The Best High Chairs Tested To Ensure Proper Seating For Babies And Tots

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Festival Fires the Starter’s Pistol on the Annual Film Awards Race The Sundance Film Festival has been hosting the best in independent film since its inception in 1981. Named for his character in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , the event was founded by Robert Redford in 1981. Nestled in the snowy hills of Park City, Utah, the festival has gone from being a scrappy little upstart to one of the most revered cinematic launching pads in the world. If the Oscars are the checkered flag for the awards races, then Sundance is the official starter’s pistol that kicks off the grueling 14-month competition. Most of the films featured at the festival will resurface throughout the year as they find theatrical distribution or a streaming home with Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, MUBI and the like. Brandon Cronenberg’s newest film, Infinity Pool , used Sundance as a premiere of sorts. It can already be found in theaters … [Read more...] about A Winter Wonderland For Cinema: A Sundance Film Festival Recap Part 1

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Defensive Stocks Recent News The investing landscape in 2022 was notable not only for the severity of losses but also their breadth: It was the first year, since at least the 1870s, that U.S. stocks and long-term bonds both fell by more than 10%. As a result, investors have turned to defensive stocks. Defensive stocks are companies that generally hold up well in times of economic distress. The main defensive sectors are generally considered to be utilities, healthcare and consumer staples, all of which have outperformed the market in 2022. Even in a downturn, consumers continue to spend money on these products. As of December 29, the S&P 500 index’s utility stocks as a whole fell 0.5% in 2022, while consumer staples were down 2.7% in the period. This may seem poor, but the broader market fell roughly 20% during the year. Despite the better performance, cyclical sectors such as industrials and consumer … [Read more...] about Protect Your Portfolio With Defensive Stocks Like These

NEW YORK — On a brisk recent Sunday, a band of teenagers met on the steps of Central Library in Brooklyn to start the weekly meeting of the Luddite Club, a high school group that promotes a lifestyle of self-liberation from social media and technology. As the dozen teens headed into Prospect Park, they hid away their iPhones — or, in the case of the most devout members, their flip phones, which some had decorated with stickers and nail polish. They marched up a hill toward their usual spot, a dirt mound far from the park’s crowds. Among them was Odille Zexter-Kaiser, a senior at Edward R. Murrow High School, who trudged through leaves in Doc Martens and mismatched wool socks. “It’s a little frowned on if someone doesn’t show up,” Odille said. “We’re here every Sunday, rain or shine, even snow. We don’t keep in touch with each other, so you have to show up.” After the club members gathered logs to form a circle, they sat and withdrew into a bubble of serenity. Some drew in … [Read more...] about “Luddite” teens don’t want your likes

A British couple living in Bangkok is raising £70,000 (2.85 million baht) to support the care of their five-month-old baby boy Finley who was born with an extremely rare illness. Finley Phillips was born with a rare chromosomal disorder that affects just 10 people worldwide. In the womb, Finley developed a duplication of chromosome 14 which has resulted in craniosynostosis (early skull fusion), two holes in his heart, severe hearing loss, club feet and hands, and an inability to gain weight. The diagnosis means Finley will have an ongoing lifelong disorder, but “no one can predict exactly what the future holds,” said Finley’s mother. Yesterday, medical staff in Bangkok gave Nick and Abby Phillips, from England, the greenlight to transfer baby Finley to a hospital in the UK for specialist treatment.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Among the many things I’m thankful for is that I have a personal bartender—my husband. I just tell him what I’m in the mood for—a spicy margarita, a fresh daiquiri, or his specialty, a Bloody Mary—and he emerges a few minutes later with a Instagram-worthy cocktail that’s been created just for me. To challenge his mixology skills, I’m always looking for new inspiration to help expand his repertoire. This Thanksgiving, I reached out to several acclaimed bartenders and spirits professionals around the country for easy cocktail recipes that pair well with Turkey Day (and all the trimmings).

Sania Mirza became the first Indian woman to win a WTA singles title in 2005. In 2009, she became the first Indian woman to win a Grand Slam - playing mixed doubles in the Australian Open with Mahesh Bhupathi that year. (Image source: Instagram/mirzasaniar) Luisa Stefani had been waiting near the net as Sania Mirza returned Rafael Matos’ shot from the baseline. Her smash was too close for Rohan Bopanna to return. This course of action would have been routine – but for the fact that it brought the curtains on one of the most illustrious careers in Indian tennis. Sania Mirza will no longer play in Grand Slams . The world knew that before the Australian Open began, but as one opposition fell after another – Jaimee Fourlis and Luke Saville, then Makoto Ninomiya and Ariel Behar, then Jelena Ostapenko and David Vega Hernandez, then Desirae Krawczyk and Neal Skupski – the expectations soared back home. The nation that often cares for little beyond cricket woke up to catch her … [Read more...] about Sania Mirza: A trailblazer like none other

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Want to cry at work? Go for it, say some experts. Compassionate leadership is in vogue. An EY Consulting survey found that 90% of U.S. workers believe empathetic leadership leads to higher job satisfaction, and 79% said it decreases employee turnover. Business leaders say they’re pressured to care more, show more empathy and compassion and be kinder. While those soft skills are essential, many leaders—especially men—often look with a blank stare, clueless on how to apply those skills. What does this mean for leaders who are not in touch with their feelings and don’t know how to express the essential soft skills? Do they sit and cry with employees as they sob about their work struggles? Do they try to counsel them when they don’t have either the credentials or expertise? Do they try to be vulnerable with their own feelings when they don’t know how? Maybe it’s time to explicate exactly how leaders who have been trained only … [Read more...] about Crying At Work No Longer Taboo Under Compassionate Leadership, According To Some Experts
