![]() Soulful solace, wild serenity retreat…with your guide, Holly Niemela, a Paris-based teacher of ancient practices adapted for modern times. This week is a total no wifi, no internet, no telephone experience with moments to be in Silenco. Time to do nothing, time to reflect, time to share with others, time to ask oneself “what do I want to live for the next part of my life? Be prepared to open and vibrate on a higher level of awareness. We’ll create rituals to install in daily life to enhance meaning and sense, pamper the body, cut the chains that bind our mind and play in this remote natural environment: the fields, the woods, the river- taking in the energy of the nature and the dawn of a new world during the autumn harvest. Then, embodiment practices from yoga and chi gong… along with chanting, breath work and meditation. We’ll do the wim hof method (cold water bathing in the local river for the daring and deep breathing practices). Skills-empathetic listening, the capacity to hold and examine two opposing ideas or adaptation awareness will be taught, along with others and always through embodiment, perception and sensation. Our days start with early morning grounding-outside on the grass. With the group we will explore our own facets like a multisided diamond-each person is a reflection of some part of ourselves. One of the most important lessons is on how to manage your different emotional and mental states- we’re living too much on our fight/flight/freeze nervous system and hardly ever even visiting the rest/digest side. How to modify your hormonal output? How to boost peak states? How to find balance? My intention is to teach what I’ve learned over the past 18 months. I partner with silence and nature to guide you to your essence, your sacred soul. Let’s re-group, let the dust settle, and re-connect to ourselves. Please join me on my first post-pandemic, full throttle inner adventure for those who wish to re- connect to themselves. ![]() Can we wean wonder from our experience since march 2020? As we enter the Age of Aquarius, individual consciousness is our grail that we find in our destination of inner space. I believe finding solace in our soul is the missing connection, it is the path of our recovery, post-pandemic. We are on the brink of a new era. My favorite podcaster/author of the moment Jamie Wheal sums it up here:, “the Coming Alive arc of life, where we imagine and then pursue the best of what’s possible, slammed up against the Staying Alive arc of life, where we dump everything that’s not vital overboard, in the hopes of staying afloat”…is exactly what we are all encountering today-savor or save our lives! It just starts within each of us, individually, first.Ģ021. As citizens of this world we can bond to make positive global change. It was a strange way to finally experience the world united…and around an illness? What was the message? For me it is the need to find and live inter-connection. ![]() Not one person was exempt from the possibility of getting CV19, many had it, many died-globally. ![]() The whole world has been affected by a global pandemic. We must be willing to let go of the life we planned soĪs to have the life that is waiting for us. – Joseph CampbellĢ020. ![]()

![]() ![]() The rear camera has been upgraded to 12 megapixels, instead of 8 megapixels. But, perhaps most importantly, the 12-MP selfie camera has been moved to the center of the iPad (in landscape mode), so you’ll no longer have to uncomfortably stare to the side during video calls. The cellular model now supports 5G, and like on the iPad Air, the Touch ID sensor is integrated into the power button that sits on the top edge of the slate. There's finally a USB-C port instead of Lightning, so you can charge it with the same cable as you use to charge a MacBook. It has uniform slim bezels around a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina (IPS LCD) display. That means there's an air gap between the screen and the glass, which can make interactions with the Apple Pencil feel a smidge imprecise.Īpple has modernized its most basic iPad ( 7/10, WIRED Review). (The camera placement is still a bit awkward.) It's worth highlighting that this iPad doesn't have a fully laminated display. The real highlight is the front camera, which is 12 megapixels and supports Center Stage, the iPad Pro feature that moves the camera around during video calls so you always stay in the frame. The A13 Bionic chip, which debuted on the iPhone 11, makes it one of the most powerful tablets for the price, and there are other welcome upgrades, like 64 GB of storage and True Tone, which adjusts the color temperature of the display to match the ambient lighting to look more natural. It retains the classic Home button with Touch ID plus thick borders around the 10.2-inch screen. It has the same shape and size as its predecessors, so all current accessories will work, including the first-generation Apple Pencil and Apple's Smart Keyboard. It's the most affordable (and has dipped as low as $250). Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.Įven with the addition of the 10th-generation iPad, we still think the ninth-generation iPad ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) from 2021 is the best iPad for most people. com and our print magazine (if you'd like). Special offer for Gear readers: Get a 1-year subscription to WIRED for $5 ($25 off). Updated March 2023: We’ve added a section that highlights our favorite iPad accessories. This guide covers the best iPad models available right now, what’s coming up, the important differences between models, and the old models that exist (including the ones you shouldn’t buy at any price).īe sure to check out all our buying guides, including the Best iPad Accessories, Best iPhones, Best iPhone 14 Cases and Accessories, Best Tablets, and Best MacBooks. Since all of these devices look pretty much the same, it’s important to know what you’re buying and what you should pay for it. In addition, a growing number of older iPads are floating around the eBays of the world. Apple sells four main iPad models, each with its own strengths. You just get whatever’s new, right? If only. ![]() ![]() That pic’s first day/previews was also $33M. Meanwhile, Oppenheimermight be about a bomb, but it’s certainly not a bomb in the box office sense of the word, with the Universal Christopher Nolan-directed movie eyeing $25.8M on Saturday, -22% from Friday night/previews of $33M, for what’s shaping up to be an awesome $80.5M opening, per Universal this morning.Īs we spotted on Thursday night, Oppenheimer looked like it was going to emulate the box office trajectory of the R-rated X-Men title, Logan. Warners isn’t a studio to get over their skis in estimates. Others believe in their bones this Greta Gerwing-directed, Margot Robbie-Ryan Gosling combo is destined for $160M. Updated figures this AM show Warner Bros.’ new franchise based on the Mattel doll at $48.1M (-32% from Friday/previews), for what is shaping up to still be a $155M start, the biggest opening of 2023. Sunday AM writethru after Saturday PM: updat e If you weren’t at Barbieor Oppenheimer, or both movies this weekend, consider yourself square. That would be it’s still fourth biggest domestic weekend of all-time. Not only are people showing their interest in the cinema, but the theatrical downstream pie is better for all parties involved, no?Ĭomscore reported $301.6M for the weekend yesterday, however that figure has to be around $308.6M given the extra $8M for Barbenheimer. As one exec said to me yesterday about the feared box office forecast, “It’s the car accident, one exit up.” Maybe this means we make less streaming movies and more theatrical. ![]() ![]() Granted streaming is the headache for many writers and actors, however, if AMPTP and the guilds don’t agree to a contract soon, the 20 theatrical schedule could get significantly damaged. All of this is a reminder is that it took a consistent supply of movies, which spurs moviegoer demand to get theatrical back on track post Covid. ![]() ![]() ![]() World-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, with its psychedelic jellies and bat-ray petting tanks is a must-visit, especially for families. Wrapped by the Pacific on three sides, the Monterey Peninsula at once offers wind-tossed beaches and quiet coves, fine dining and casual eats, early history and postmodern art. When the day is almost done, hit the sand to admire the sunset over the Pacific with your canine companion, and ponder why it is you don’t live here. 1 public golf course in the country, book a surf lesson, or make for Point Lobos State Reserve, where scuba divers and kayakers share the water with harbor seals and sea otters. ![]() Navigate 17-Mile Drive by car or bike, stopping to contemplate the Lone Cypress that’s clung to a patch of rock for centuries. Sip a Pinot Noir from Central Coast Wine Country or browse fancy pens at Bittner, a shop dedicated to the art of writing.īut it’s the raw environment that best defines this stretch of California, and that means venturing out. At La Bicyclette, the vibe is pure French bistro, while special occasions merit Aubergine, a tasting-menu splurge inside L’Auberge Carmel resort.Īlong with restaurants, Carmel Village is stocked with wine-tasting rooms and boutiques. ![]() Builder Hugh Comstock created the fairy tale aesthetic in the 1920s, and 21 of his originals remain, including the Tuck Box, a quaint café that specializes in afternoon tea.įor those in search of heartier fare, there’s Cultura Comida y Bebida, where Oaxacan dishes like smoked pork mole and chapulines (toasted grasshoppers seasoned with lime and salt) are best paired with one of 39 mezcals. The tradition of naming homes endures in Carmel, where garden cottages that look plucked from the Brothers Grimm sit next to Mediterranean estates and modern ranches. Poet Robinson Jeffers, arriving with his wife in 1914, called the town “our inevitable place,” and built his stone Tor House overlooking the ocean, now open on weekends for tours. Today Carmel Village is home to nearly 100 art galleries, and some of its earliest residents included writers Mary Austin, Sinclair Lewis, and Jack London, who fled post-earthquake San Francisco for the enclave’s bohemian appeal. Officially incorporated in 1916, Carmel has long exerted a magnetic pull on artists and authors. Rather, it’s an ensemble cast of charms that make Carmel-by-the-Sea such an enchanting destination. But Carmel Beach isn’t the only star of the petite Monterey County city. It’s a lovely beach, a crescent of pale sand that gives way to turquoise Pacific, backed by Monterey cypress, their foliage flattened into wide fans by the coastal wind. If there was only the beach, that would be enough. ![]() ![]() As a product, it seemed to be abandoned for a long time, then came back to life. I like Highlights, but unfortunately do not trust it. If you want to focus on one-off PDFs that do not need to be managed as a group, then Highlights is OK for this. For me, MarginNote is unique in its ability to handle that. Personally, I have large corpuses of dual-language source texts comprising thousands of pages of text in deeply intertwined (cross-referenced) documents. I have them all, and prefer MarginNote - though it has some weird and frustrating interface issues.īacking up to the beginning though – the question is what’s your use case? Are you taking notes for academic research? For personal records? Something else? If you are taking notes on a corpus of PDFs that are related to one-another, and want to bring in web-resources into the notes then MarginNote is very good for this. may have to check back into LiquidText.Hmmm, MarginNote, LiquidText, Highlights are not suddenly new – they’ve all been around for several years. I can't give more than one star to an app that I can't find functional no matter the potential it has. I'm switching back to the original the app Pro, even though it is far from perfect, I know I can reliably and easily read and highlight any text I need. I really don't know what developers are thinking when they do this kind of stuff. Not to mention that they made it even harder to organize and access all your files, which has always been an absolute disaster in this app. Don't get me wrong, the original the app was far from perfect, but it did this very simple task very well! Now with this app they have completely changed the workflow and made this very simple task almost impossible and just not fun to do. As a student in professional school and an avid reader, it was the absolute best app to easily read whatever you needed to, make quick highlights and easily review those highlights. I've been a huge fan of the app Pro for several years now. Gotta love updates that try to fix what isn't broken Bu I won't ever use it because I need a workflow now. If there is no manual you don't get my money, which is too bad because this looks like a powerful and useful app. This isn't normal for me since I take the time to master the apps I use including other apps with steep learning curves like Scrivener. I got frustrated and have deleted the app. A free trial is no good if it takes longer than 14 days to even get started. I am not spending hours combing forums to figure out how to even get started. The developers apparently speak Mandarin and have not made an English manual and the translations of what help is there is very confusing. There is no help on the website other than videos that go at a breakneck pace so you can't even follow them. No developer should ever release an app without a manual available. There is no manual as many in the forum have complained about for over a year. Unfortunately, I can not figure out how to use it and I am fairly computer savy.

![]() ![]() But it’s interesting to note their comparison, as both movies were unexpected outliers that were unforeseen in their success at the B.O. Of course, both movies appeal to polar opposites. In 13 days, Sound of Freedom, with $82M, will have made more than Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s lifetime domestic of $77.1M. PLFs and Imax screens are driving 42% of Dead Reckoning‘s business to date. ![]() Imagine the juiced gross on a Mission: Impossible if Harry Styles or Zendaya were part of the ensemble. Like Indy, could Mission have expanded to a younger audience? Of course, and Cruise might want to consider hiring some popular YA stars for future sequels. However, another source splashed water in my face and reminded me that the exhibition infrastructure as it is has the capacity and the power to deliver enormous box office grosses: Hello, Avengers: Endgame was a three-hour movie and holds the opening domestic box office record opening with $357.1M. I was under the impression that the movie, at a long running time of 2 hours and 43 minutes, would benefit from a 5-day launch, given that there’s fewer showtimes at cinemas, and it would propel word of mouth. The movie could have gone on Friday and saw a $78M 3-day, which would have been a record opening for the Cruise series. Why is that? The notion is that with Dead Reckoning having all the goods in great reviews and audience exits, there was no reason for it to debut on a Wednesday stateside. Let’s step back again and assess - Dead Reckoning is posting a lower 3-day and 5-day next to Dial of Destiny. However, as we said above - the word of mouth on Dead Reckoning will empower it, even with Barbie next weekend potentially posting Little Mermaid numbers ($95M+ 3-day) and adult-leaning Oppenheimer in the mix, and that buzz will carry the Cruise film through all ancillaries. Who doesn’t want to invest more on a trusted franchise sequel, especially a global star who delivered one of the highest-grossing movies of last year in Top Gun: Maverick? These movies weren’t made under normal circumstances, and Disney and Paramount both invested heavily in prime IP under the notion that they would deliver, and it’s better to perfect and avoid scaling back costs. The box office to profit measure for some of these tentpoles is still a hurdle, and will continue to be for a while. ![]() What’s clear is that the industry is still releasing over-budgeted movies that were challenged by Covid stops Dead Reckoning being one of the first movies to shut down because of the pandemic in Italy back in early 2020. Hold on again – doesn’t Dead Reckoning stand to lose as much money as Dial of Destiny? Both cost about the same. As a Mission movie, Dead Reckoning‘s start here isn’t below its franchise expectations. Dead Reckoning is bringing its finite, older-skewing fanbase. That long-awaited sequel brought out non-moviegoers, people who haven’t been to the movies in years. As we told you yesterday, the global outlook for Dead Reckoning is still around $240M As of last weekend, Indy‘s global was slightly more domestic than foreign, 51% to 49%.īut wait a second, wait a second - wasn’t Dead Reckoning suppose to open to $90M over five days? This is surely an upset, no? The reality of the situation here stateside is that there isn’t any Top Gun: Maverick halo effect. If anything, the Tom Cruise sequel has all the mojo to not only outstrip Indy domestically, but the potential to make significantly more overseas - even if China doesn’t pull in a $100M+ gross like it did on Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.Ĭruise’s previous three Mission movies generated over 70% of their global box office abroad. Said one rival studio executive source this AM, “With these reviews and PostTrak numbers, I would expect this one to leg out through summer - these are strong numbers.” The Cruise feature is still in its prime keep reading. Grosses went down between Indiana Jones movies, while grosses went up on Mission movies: Dead Reckoning could see a 5-day franchise record still, besting Mission: Im posible II’s $78.8M. We expect more from Lucasfilm, especially on a legacy finale. Deal with it, Disney: The ball was dropped quality wise on Dial of Destiny, and the sequel is suffering with critics and fans. In updated Friday night PostTrak exits, Dead Reckoning gets 5 stars and 90% from audiences ( Indy only received 4 stars and 79%), with men/women at 62% / 38% grading it 90% / 89% ( Indy‘s grades for both were 74% and 85%). However, the reviews and audiences exits on Dead Reckoning bury Dial of Destiny.
