A Winter Wonderland For Cinema: A Sundance Film Festival Recap Part 1
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
“Luddite” teens don’t want your likes
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
Brisbane Gets Ready To Welcome The Olympics
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Australian city of Brisbane is energetic, youthful, and exuberant, with the vibe and lifestyle of a perpetually sunny place. It’s emerging as a must-see Down Under destination for Americans, who can thank United Airlines for recently initiating nonstop service from San Francisco. The fresh-faced city has been on a high since it was named the host of the Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games for 2032. “Not many cities get the opportunity to have a decade to prepare for the Olympics,” said Callum Wood, Head of Marketing for the Brisbane Economic Development Agency. “Rather than build new buildings, we’re upgrading existing structures and erecting temporary ones, which is much more sustainable. We’re not going on a building frenzy.” Well, maybe not a frenzy, but on a recent visit, there was construction aplenty. This beautiful city of 2.2 million people on either side of the Brisbane River may not be as developed or … [Read more...] about Brisbane Gets Ready To Welcome The Olympics
Stix Golf Clubs Review: Beginner Clubs That Are Better Than Rookies Expect
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
Sania Mirza: A trailblazer like none other
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
9 Easy Cocktail Recipes For Thanksgiving
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.

How To Navigate The Flawed Job Market
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Day 3: Get to know the job market. This post is part of Forbes’ Career Challenge: Get Job-Search Ready In 15 Days . In 1987, Sallie Krawcheck secured a coveted job in investment banking on Wall Street. Shortly after she started, the 1987 crash followed. She found herself in a job she hated, in a cut-throat work culture she hated and in a time of crisis that exacerbated the problem. “I knew I didn't like investment banking. I didn't get it. I didn't enjoy it. I didn't love the work,” she said in an interview with Business Insider. In 1990, realizing this wasn’t the career she wanted, she started at Columbia Business School. Her goal in business school was to get out of financial services and switch to the media industry. According to plan, she landed a summer internship at Time, Inc. She was thrilled and excited at the prospect of working there full-time once the internship converted into a job. At the end of the … [Read more...] about How To Navigate The Flawed Job Market
