Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Block 16 Urban Food Hall at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Photo: Jeff Green / Courtesy of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas When the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas opened in 2010, it became the hotel for the well-heeled crowd. Dark interiors with purple accents gave the hotel a seductive vibe, only further driven home by the lobby’s 15-foot digital art columns that often showed silhouettes of unclothed women. Majority of its spacious rooms were outfitted with balconies, an unparalleled offering to this day. And its Chandelier lounge, draped in illuminated beads, was where you went to see and be seen. Over the past year, the property has undergone some changes, adding in ultra-exclusive penthouses for their high rollers; switching up their stores to include Sin City–appropriate necessities like Drybar and Reviv; and revamping their food and beverage program to include New York City and Los Angeles favorites like Momofuku … [Read more...] about Inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’s Impressive Block 16 Urban Food Hall

How electric eels inspired the first battery two centuries ago
As the world’s need for large amounts of portable energy grows at an ever-increasing pace , many innovators have sought to replace current battery technology with something better. advertisement Italian physicist Alessandro Volta tapped into fundamental electrochemical principles when he invented the first battery in 1800. Essentially, the physical joining of two different materials, usually metals, generates a chemical reaction that results in the flow of electrons from one material to the other. That stream of electrons represents portable energy that can be harnessed to generate power . The first materials people employed to make batteries were copper and zinc. Today’s best batteries – those that produce the highest electrical output in the smallest possible size – pair the metal lithium with one of several different metallic compounds. There have been steady improvements over the centuries, but modern batteries rely on the same strategy as that of Volta: … [Read more...] about How electric eels inspired the first battery two centuries ago

TikTok time: Art Basel HK welcomes ‘art influencers’ to its upcoming edition
For several months now, a new type of content creator has been springing up on social networks: art influencers. If they have quickly become the darlings of museums, art fairs are still reluctant to call on these art world newcomers. Now, Art Basel plans to welcome them to its next edition in Hong Kong, but only on certain conditions. Since its inaugural edition in 2013, Art Basel Hong Kong has attracted different types of audiences, from art collectors to gallerists and dealers, artists, journalists and now influencers. The fair's organisers have recently decided to offer content creators the opportunity to get accredited, in order to take their followers behind the scenes of the event. However, they will have to follow several rules of good conduct, reports Artnet News. For example, there's no question of doing "lives" in the aisles of the fair, let alone photographing other visitors without their permission. Accredited influencers are also asked to ensure they credit the … [Read more...] about TikTok time: Art Basel HK welcomes ‘art influencers’ to its upcoming edition
REVIEW: ‘Joe Pickett’ Has Lots Of Potential, But Is Far From Being A Great Show
“Joe Pickett” is a very promising show. The first two episodes of the series based on a book series from C.J. Box are out on Paramount+, and I decided to fire them up. The plot of the series is pretty straightforward. (REVIEW: ‘ Yellowstone ’ Season 4 Finale Shocks Fans With Major Death) The show follows a Wyoming game warden with a dark past, but an inherent urge to do things the right way. When one of his rivals is found dead on his property, it’s immediately clear there’s a large and sinister conspiracy playing out. What does the show remind me of? There are some obvious “ Yellowstone ” vibes, but it’s not even within spitting distance as being as good. View this post on Instagram A post shared by cjboxauthor (@cjboxnovels) While “ Yellowstone ” and other Taylor Sheridan shows are incredibly serious, “Joe Pickett” liked to inject a bizarre sense of humor into some scenes, specifically a … [Read more...] about REVIEW: ‘Joe Pickett’ Has Lots Of Potential, But Is Far From Being A Great Show
