Elton John Postponed His Concerts Due To Testing Positive For Covid-19

Elton John who is 74 years old now tested positive for covid-19 and postponed his rescheduled "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour in Dallas, Texas

At a pandemic time that showed us the importance of technology in communication and also how to make use of time while in isolation, <a href="https://www.bastillebastille.com/music">Bastille</a> came with a unique music experience that dives into the world of science-fiction, exploring the way technology can be a tool for escape.
The English pop rock band had some similar ideas floating around before the COVID-19 lockdown which inspired them to produce their 13-track and fourth album &ldquo;Give Me the Future&rdquo;.&nbsp;
&ldquo;In deciding that it was a sci-fi&hellip; it was really liberating,&rdquo; said frontman Dan Smith. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s probably the only time we&rsquo;re going to use these kinds of sounds, so let us fully go there, have loads of fun with it, push it further than maybe even we&rsquo;re comfortable and hopefully make something that&rsquo;s all the more interesting for it.&rdquo;&nbsp;
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YJM0tLDKLCk" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Writing sessions of the album happened over Zoom and recording was virtual, even when there was a studio time, no one was ever in the same room. &ldquo;I think looking back at our career, it will feel like the most fitting setting for an album like that,&rdquo; said Smith.
&ldquo;Give Me the Future&rdquo; was influenced by on classic science fiction novels and films like &ldquo;1984,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Matrix,&rdquo; &ldquo;Total Recall,&rdquo; Aldous Huxley&rsquo;s &ldquo;Island,&rdquo; &ldquo;Minority Report&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Handmaid&rsquo;s Tale,&rdquo; and also Afrofuturism, escapist films like &ldquo;Thelma and Louise&rdquo; and art from Keith Haring.&nbsp;
Even the visual work related to the album, including videos and artwork was an opportunity for the band to create a powerful impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Unlike other work in the sci-fi genre that focuses on bad side of technology, the album, according to smith, is not only recognizing the benefits of technology not only in escaping to community but also giving people a voice.&nbsp;

 Bastille Highlights The Good Side Of Technology Through Their New Album "Give Me The Future"

Bastille came with a unique music experience that dives into the world of science-fiction, exploring the way technology can be a tool for escape. The English pop rock band had some similar ideas floating around before the  COVID-19 lockdown which inspired them to produce their 13-track and fourth album “Give Me the Future”. 

&nbsp;It&rsquo;s one of the benefits of the digital era that makes you able to buy celebrity&rsquo;s possessions even if they are not sold physically. This is what the eldest son of the John Lennon, the founder of the famous rock band the Beatles is doing now with some of his father memorabilia.
Julian is auctioning off pieces of his father and the Beatles. However, unlike what happens in traditional auctions, he will keep the physical items and the winning bidders will claim ownership of a digital file such as an image, video or text, described as an "audio/visual collectible".
This type of sales is a digital asset called non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that record who owns a the digital version of the item using blockchain, a system of recording information in a way that makes impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system.
"I feel incredibly lucky to live in a day and age where innovation allows me to share such personal pieces of my Lennon family history," said Julian Lennon, who is like his father, a singer, songwriter and artist in an interview with Reuters.
NFT sales became very popular with artworks selling for millions of dollars. It&rsquo;s also a chance for the original owners to benefit from the sale without losing their possessions.&nbsp;
"Through this NFT collection, I'm able to grant exclusive access to special items that I cherish and carry on the legacy of my father in a new way."
&nbsp;<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A_MjCqQoLLA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
Julian sale includes the Beatles&rsquo; "Hey Jude" notes, on which bids were at $50,000 Tuesday afternoon. Among the auctioned items also an NFT of an image of a black cape John Lennon wore in the 1965 film &ldquo;Help!&rdquo; On which bids were last at $6,000 and an NFT representing an image of an Afghan coat that he wore on the set of the 1967 film "Magical Mystery Tour&rdquo; on which bids were at $8,000.
Julian says "It really made me learn to love Dad again because I just saw him the way I remembered him back in the day when I was a kid and when I was with him around those years,"

Ahead of Aswan International Women Film Festival, that celebrates achievements of female filmmakers and Luxor African Film Festival that also dedicate several projects to support them, the Egyptian director and writer Marianne Khoury sets an example of an achieved woman in the film industry by being honored with France&rsquo;s highest prize.
Khoury has directed several documentaries, including&nbsp;El Medina in 1999, Zelal in 2010 and Let's Talk which premiered at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam in 2019 and tells the story of four women from different generations in her family. The film won the audience award in Cairo International Film Festival Competition in the same year.&nbsp;
Khoury who was born in 1958 is the niece of the late Egyptian director Youssef Chahine who was one of the most famous figures in the Arab region. She worked closely with Chahine and she is now a managing partner in a prominent Cairo-based film production company founded by him.&nbsp;
Khoury holds economic degrees from Cairo and Oxford Universities and took part in around 30 Arab films and documentaries, most of which are tackling issues related to identity, memory and womanhood.&nbsp;
Her contributions to the cinema industry is not only through her significant films, but also through unprecedented initiatives and projects in Egypt. Khoury founded Zawya, Egypt&rsquo;s first independent cinema circuit and art house and participated in launching the first edition of the Panorama of the European Film in Cairo in 2004.
In 2011, Khoury also launched The Dahshur Workshops that are dedicated to mentoring and developing films by young Egyptian and Arab talent.

During the ceremony at the French embassy in Cairo in which she was given the prize by Marc Bar&eacute;ty, France&rsquo;s ambassador to Egypt, Khoury said &ldquo;I am extremely grateful to receive this distinction as it gives me the confidence and the courage to pursue my journey and continue to be myself,&rdquo;&nbsp;

There has been a live-action Cinderella, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Lion King &ndash; and now a remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is in the works.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ILBw0sz0Ahc" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which is Walt Disney's first animated cartoon of feature length, is perfectly delightful screen entertainment. The film is as charming as it is novel in conception and execution and it is so bound to appeal as strongly to grown-ups as to youngsters.&rdquo; Kate Cameron said in her <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/disney-snow-white-dwarfs-opens-1938-article-1.2059574">review</a> back in 1938
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1643206419-86f6208f-9c6f-459a-be01-9c4441ed46b0.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="620" />&nbsp;However, Snow White live- action remake has not gone without criticism.&nbsp; Disney yesterday responded to recent harsh criticisms made by Peter Dinklage about the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White.
A Disney spokesperson said in an exclusive statement to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/peter-dinklage-disney-responds-snow-white-criticism-1235080612/">The Hollywood Reporter</a> &ldquo;To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period,&rdquo;
Dinklage and Perry&rsquo;s Criticism
Dinklage who has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, acknowledged Disney's casting of a Latina actress in the leading role, but said further progressive casting was needed when it came to the other characters.
He said the remake of the 1937 animated film, based on story from the Brothers Grimm, was "backward". He added,&nbsp; Disney should have reassessed the project.
The actor has previously spoken about the representation of dwarfism, saying it was "bad writing" to make it a "dominant character trait".
British Paralympian swimmer Will Perry, who has publicly condemned people who abuse him, said people with dwarfism were often portrayed as "mythical or comical characters" on film and TV.
He told Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I know loads of people who love Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for the right reason... but we are now in the 21st Century.
"People like Disney, who have influence over young people, need to be influencing them in the right direction."
What we know about &ldquo;Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs&rdquo;?old.
The story of the film is about a princess named Snow White, when she exiled by her evil stepmother into the dangerous forest she succeeded to escape into the forest. Soon, she was rescued by seven dwarfs, became friends with them and they shared their tiny house with her.
Snow White was loved by hundred of little girls who was fascinated by the adventure life of the princess and her life with her seven dwarfs&rsquo; friends
Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs, won Oscar award for best achievements in cartoon subject in 1939 and was recognized as a significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field for the motion picture cartoon.

Like every year, music documentaries is a topic of big discussions in the current edition of the Sundance Film Festival. The films are different in subject and style but they all resurrect a musical past that feels very distant from our present.
&ldquo;Meet Me in the Bathroom&rdquo; which debuted Sunday takes us back in time to the early 2000s when New York was a hub for rock music bands such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Strokes, TV on the Radio, Interpol and LCD Soundsystem.
&ldquo;One of the things we kept asking is: Is it even possible for a scene to emerge in one place with such intensity?&rdquo; Said Dylan Southern, who co-directed the film with Will Lovelace, explaining in a recent interview how the music scene is different now &ldquo;Now the way we consume music is different, the way we listen or even make music is different.&rdquo;
&ldquo;jeen-yuhs&rdquo; is also an intense, intimate three-part American documentary about the life of rapper, record producer, fashion designer and businessman Ye (formerly Kanye West). The film that is directed by Coodie &amp; Chike shows unseen archival footage from his career and personal life filmed over two decades.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Nothing Compares&rdquo; is another significant documentary in Sundance about Sin&eacute;ad O&rsquo;Connor phenomenal rise to the worldwide fame. It finally reveals the unknown parts of the the bald Irish singer&rsquo;s life, who was famous for her controversial statements and gestures. She criticized the Catholic Church and Grammy Awards&rsquo; and once tore up an image of the pope on the comedy show &ldquo;Saturday Night Live.&rdquo;&nbsp;
But &ldquo;Nothing Compares&rdquo; comes to show the dark side of her life that she never spoke about and contextualizes what sometimes seemed to be just provocative in her character. It speaks about the abuse O&rsquo;Connor suffered from her mother as a child and how her first album debuted in 1987 while she was just 20 and pregnant. &ldquo;I was always being crazied by the media, made out to be crazy,&rdquo; she says in the film.

The fascination about ABBA is still there among pop music lovers. Who can forget &ldquo;Mamma Mia&rdquo; or &ldquo;Dancing Queen&rdquo;? These are among many of their songs that remain in fans' memories and hearts all over past decades. This is exactly why ABBA&rsquo;s guitarist, singer and co-songwriter Bj&ouml;rn Ulvaeus who is 76 now is launching a radio show.&nbsp;
The &ldquo;Bj&ouml;rn from ABBA and Friends&rsquo; Radio Show&rdquo; series is hosting Ulvaeus&rsquo; friends and collaborators. The guest of the first episode is the host&rsquo;s fellow producer, songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nile Rodgers. They will discuss why ABBA&rsquo;s music has remained in the public consciousness and the secrets of hit-making.

&ldquo;I have long wanted to ask some emotionally intelligent as well as intellectual people who know about ABBA about why they think our songs have lasted for such a long time &mdash; almost 40 years &mdash; because I don&rsquo;t understand it myself,&rdquo; said Ulvaeus.&nbsp;
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/unfzfe8f9NI" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;The show comes amid a major renaissance for ABBA, as the group released its first new music in 40 years in November 2021 on the album &ldquo;Voyager,&rdquo; and announced a series of holographic concerts to be held in May 2022 in London.

Other guests on the radio show include are Johan Renck, the creative director of the forthcoming concerts and Catherine Johnson, who wrote the musical &ldquo;Mamma Mia!&rdquo; as well as the screenplay for the subsequent film.
ABBA was formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha F&auml;ltskog, Bj&ouml;rn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad who are all in their seventies now. During the band's active years, it consisted of two married couples which is seen as a contributing factor to their popularity. However, the couples&rsquo; personal lives suffered and both marriages collapsed due to their rise to fame.&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s 7 feet tall with grey hair, it looks like an emotionless old man who has swallowed a washing machine and loves eating cabbages. It&rsquo;s Brian&rsquo;s robot that he decided to invent to face his depression and loneliness.&nbsp;
Debuted in <a href="https://www.sundance.org/">Sundance Film Festival</a> in its current edition, the comedy film &ldquo;Brian and Charles&rdquo;, revives Jim Archer's 2017 short &ldquo;Brian and Charles&rdquo; that was screened in 2017.
The film introduces the artificially intelligent low budget robot Charles who&rsquo;s made of a washing machine and sundry spare parts. It learns English from a dictionary, speaks comically like toddlers yet proves to be a great companion for its inventor Brian and the successful invention offers him father-son bond that he was in need to.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KBdMhQBFKH4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The movie was co-written by David Earl who plays the man and Chris Hayward who plays the machine and who was literally hidden inside a giant cardboard box with clothes stretched over it without even eyeholes.&nbsp;
&ldquo;People had to lead me round by the hand like a child,&rdquo; says Hayward, &ldquo;I&rsquo;d have loved to have watched what was going on, but I couldn&rsquo;t see anything, I was just in this big cardboard box.&rdquo;&nbsp;

An L.A. judge has ruled the Britney Spears should have control over her money and didn&rsquo;t allow it to be kept in the conservatorship until it&rsquo;s decided whether Britney Spears should pay millions in legal fees racked up by her father while he was conservator of her estate.
Attorneys took the decision that &ldquo;the conservatorship is over&rdquo; after a heated Wednesday afternoon hearing over allegations of press leaks, misconduct against the father and who should control Britney&rsquo;s money.
On the same day advocates for Britney Spears and disability rights activists backed a California proposal to provide more protections for those under court-ordered conservatorships. They say that what are known as probate conservatorships are overused and misused in California and that they mostly involve people with intellectual or developmental disabilities or those with age-related issues like Alzheimer&rsquo;s and dementia.
Advocacy groups contend that conservatees like Spears can become trapped in a system that removes their civil rights and the ability to advocate for themselves.
&nbsp;&ldquo;Conservatorships should be rare, and the last resort&rdquo; said Judy Mark, president of Disability Voices United, a Southern California advocacy group, adding &ldquo;The default should be that people with disabilities retain their rights and get support when they need it.&rdquo;

It&rsquo;s always more resounding and impactful when a social justice-related call comes from a celebrity. This time it&rsquo;s about economic equity measures when singer and music producer Pharrell Williams said that businesses need to invest more in people of color.
William&rsquo;s remarks came in a keynote speech he had given yesterday at the Urban League of Hampton Roads&rsquo; annual Martin Luther King, Jr. awards program. The event is held every year around mid-January to commemorate Dr. King&rsquo;s birthday.&nbsp;
The &ldquo;Happy&rdquo; singer has been an entrepreneur and businessman for the last two decades of his career.&nbsp; He said that people in positions of power should &ldquo;channel their energy in the right direction&rdquo;. He also said that supporting entrepreneurs of color would be an aim of &ldquo;The smart ones &mdash; the ones that will be here in 50 years.&rdquo;
However, William said that some of the corporates are already doing so. He specifically mentioned the Japanese financial and venture capital group SoftBank. He said that the founders of color that the group invested in could create generational wealth and change their cities for the better.
Several local leaders were honored for representing King&rsquo;s legacy of social justice in the event that was live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube...&nbsp;

It was the beginning when Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth's grandson and his American wife Meghan Merkel quit royal duties in 2020 and that they will work to become financially independent in the USA.
The British government made a decision that he should not receive police protection even if he pays the cost himself, what made Harry seek judicial review. &nbsp;
According to legal representatives, Harry wants to bring his kids Archie and Lilibet from the U.S. to visit his homeland but this will be very risky without police protection. This is why he and his wife relied on a private security team, however, legal representatives said these arrangements were not enough for the level of protection needed.
The government has previously refused to accept two offers by Harry to pay for police protection, according to a spokesperson.
Prince Harry&nbsp;and the American actress&nbsp;Meghan Merkel&nbsp;began dating in 2016. The couple announced their engagement a year and a half later and were&nbsp;married in May 2018. They got their first child&nbsp;Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in May 2019.

In January 2020, Harry and Meghan announced they are stepping back as senior members of the royal family and that they will build new careers in Los Angeles. Their plan was to split their time between North America and the UK, the plan that is obviously disrupted by the police protection issue.&nbsp;

Like every year, music documentaries is a topic of big discussion in the current edition of the Sundance Film Festival. The films are different in subject and style but they all resurrect a musical past that feels very distant from our present.
&ldquo;Meet Me in the Bathroom&rdquo; which debuted Sunday takes us back in time to the early 2000s when New York was a hub for rock music bands such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Strokes, TV on the Radio, Interpol and LCD Soundsystem.
&ldquo;One of the things we kept asking is: Is it even possible for a scene to emerge in one place with such intensity?&rdquo; Said Dylan Southern, who co-directed the film with Will Lovelace, explaining in a recent interview how the music scene is different now &ldquo;Now the way we consume music is different, the way we listen or even make music is different.&rdquo;
&ldquo;jeen-yuhs&rdquo; is also an intense, intimate three-part American documentary about the life of rapper, record producer, fashion designer and businessman Ye (formerly Kanye West). The film that is directed by Coodie &amp; Chike shows unseen archival footage from his career and personal life filmed over two decades.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Nothing Compares&rdquo; is another significant documentary in Sundance about Sin&eacute;ad O&rsquo;Connor&rsquo;s phenomenal rise to worldwide fame. It finally reveals the unknown parts of the bald Irish singer&rsquo;s life, who was famous for her controversial statements and gestures. She criticized the Catholic Church and Grammy Awards and once tore up an image of the pope on the comedy show &ldquo;Saturday Night Live.&rdquo;
But &ldquo;Nothing Compares&rdquo; comes to show the dark side of her life that she never spoke about and contextualizes what sometimes seemed to be just provocative in her character. It speaks about the abuse O&rsquo;Connor suffered from her mother as a child and how her first album debuted in 1987 while she was just 20 and pregnant. &ldquo;I was always being crazied by the media, made out to be crazy,&rdquo; she says in the film.

Winning the award Salah became the first Arab player to accomplish this feat and the third to do the same after two African legends Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto&rsquo;o.
The award honors the winner with the emblematic &ldquo;Passport to the Eternity of Football&rdquo; as well as a place on the Champions Promenade in Monte-Carlo, where they leave their mark creating an everlasting indentation where fans can visit in the future, akin to the Hollywood walk of fame but for footballers.
According to the rules set by the committee, the player can be honored with this award only once in their career, making this quite an achievement for Salah.
Winners for this award can only get nominated if they&rsquo;re 28 years old or older, have &ldquo;great technical skills&rdquo;, are popular, has a good reputation, and have a good relationship with the club and their country&rsquo;s team fitting Salah&rsquo;s description perfectly.
While Salah has been having an amazing career overall, he, unfortunately, didn&rsquo;t win the Ballon D'Or 2021, ranking seventh place behind Messi, Lewandowski, Benzema, Kante, Jorginho, and Ronaldo.

Ten years ago, an orchestra has been formed in Vermont, U.S. by a group of musicians diagnosed with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental problems and people who support them. The aim of the group then was to fight the stigma of mental illnesses through beautiful art. Yesterday, they celebrated the 10th anniversary of their success with a free performance.
Me2/ was established as a classical music organization by its music director/conductor Ronald Braunstein who lives with bipolar disorder and executive director Caroline Whiddon in September 2011, months after Braunstein was fired by the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association.
&ldquo;I decided that I didn&rsquo;t want to be susceptible to the stigma and discrimination in my field any longer,&rdquo; said Braunstein &ldquo;At that point, I decided the only people I wanted to work with were people like me &mdash; people living with mental illness and those who would support me even if I wasn&rsquo;t having a good day.&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1643016030-Orchestra_.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="700" />Photo Credit: Me2music
The orchestra introduces itself as &ldquo;a model organization where people with and without mental illnesses work together in an environment where acceptance is an expectation, patience is encouraged, and supporting each other is a priority,&rdquo; as stated on their website.&nbsp;
What started as a small group of few musicians has grown to include more than players in three orchestras, chamber music groups and a Flute choir. Since the beginning, Me2/ is trying to build an international network of musicians with and without mental illnesses but with shared values about mental health and mutual love of classical music.
&nbsp;<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oahp0hqV-WA" width="562" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
100 of the regional players of the orchestra took part in yesterday&rsquo;s long-hour concert that was titled &ldquo;Stigma-Free at Symphony Hall&rdquo; at Boston Symphony Hall. The inspiring event was not only about the meaning behind the music, it also included testimonies from musicians living well with mental illness, according to the Symphony Hall.

Get Enough sleep
Getting enough sleep helps your body function right. It also keeps your skin healthy. Even one night of short sleep can affect you the next day. Not only are you more likely to feel sleepy, but you&rsquo;re also more likely to be less productive at work.
According to a study from the<a href="http://publicaffairsresources.aaa.biz/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Acute-Sleep-Deprivation-and-Risk-of-Motor-Vehicle-Crash-Involvement.pdf"> AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety</a>, you&rsquo;re twice as likely to get in a car accident when you&rsquo;re depending on six to seven hours of sleep compared to if you get a full eight hours.

Drink Less Caffeine
Drinking too much caffeine causes a lot of health problems such as; Dehydration, Rapid or abnormal heart rhythm, anxiety and insomnia. But how much is too much? According to Mayo Clinic, up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine, a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola, or two "energy shot" drinks.

Take More Risks&nbsp;
Do not stop yourself from doing things you want to do, If you want to start your own business or change your career, do it. If you want to confess your love or move out of home, do it. Life&nbsp;goes on but regrets do not.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Volunteer&nbsp;
Volunteering is an act of kindness. It connects you to others and you will make good friends. Volunteering is a stress and anxiety blockbuster. You will learn valuable transferable skills. You will definitely get a sense of purpose and boost your self-confidence.

Travel on your own and move out of your comfort zone. Learn to explore rather than to live. You will learn about yourself better, make new friends and learn to rely on yourself more.
Take Care of Your Body
Stay fit at all times, go&nbsp;to the gym, eat healthy food. Push any extra weight away. Easier when younger.

The tip applies when you are quitting a job. According to workplace expert <a href="https://lynntaylorconsulting.com/">Lynn Taylor</a>, if your new position is in the same industry or city, there's a good chance you'll run into your former boss and coworkers again. Or, your former boss may talk to your new boss about you if they know each other. Hold the doors open.
Don't Be Afraid To Change Directions
Get used to change. Whatever you thought and chose as your direction is not set in stone. If you're not happy where you are change that immediately. A career coach and former Googler <a title="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot-with-jenny-blake/id1054817076&nbsp;" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot-with-jenny-blake/id1054817076">Jenny Blake, author of the book "Pivot</a>," says making a career change doesn't have to be terrifying. You just need to go about the transition carefully

Stay loyal to friends who truly matter and don't be afraid to end some friendships. Vanessa Van Edwards, a human behavior researcher, recommends ditching your "ambivalent friends" &mdash; such as jealous, undermining, and unsure frenemies &mdash; to minimize stress in your life.

Movie star, Henry Cavill, is a geeky guy, he loves games and working in projects that have something to do with games, and while he&rsquo;s already in &ldquo;The Witcher&rdquo; he revealed that he wants to do more, even a &ldquo;Red Dead Redemption 2&rdquo; live-action adaptation.
In an interview with Game Reactor, the actor was asked if he would like to see another game turned into a show or a movie and what would it be, to which Cavill shared that he&rsquo;s recently been playing &ldquo;Red Dead Redemption 2&rdquo; and would like to work on a live-action adaptation for that.
&ldquo;Well, that's a tricky one, 'cause you're tying both an IP and a company together, which is a tricky thing to do, so I certainly don't want to put myself in any corners with that, but there are plenty of games out there,&rdquo; said the actor.
&ldquo;I've actually started playing &lsquo;Red Dead Redemption 2&rsquo; I know I'm a little bit late to that party- but I started playing it and I'm really enjoying it. And so, something like that I think would be fun to turn into a movie," he continued.
There you have it, if the project ever gets made we might be getting a cowboy Cavill, it will interesting who he plays from the game though, as we can see him as Arthur the main protagonist, or he&rsquo;ll need to play a completely original character.
&ldquo;Red Dead Redemption 2&rdquo; followed Arthur, an outlaw how works with his close-knit gang who are trying to survive in a world that is now on the hunt for people like them.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eaW0tYpxyp0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Cavill has revealed in the past that he&rsquo;s willing to work on several gamin adaptation projects including having a role in a potential series adapting the famous &ldquo;Mass Effect&rdquo; franchise.
The world of adaptation can be heavy or light. When I like a product, I prefer the adaptation to be less changed from the source, so it all depends,&rdquo; stated Cavill in the past about doing something about &ldquo;Mass Effect&rdquo;.
We&rsquo;ll have to wait and see which game will be done first and if he&rsquo;s going to be connected to it.

Henry Cavill Wants To Be In A “Red Dead Redemption 2” Adaptation

One of the biggest games on the PlayStation system is getting the movie adaption and it&rsquo;s none other than &ldquo;Ghost Of Tsushima&rdquo;; not only that but it&rsquo;s getting the director behind the first &ldquo;John Wick&rdquo; movie too, Chad Stahelski.
In a recent interview at &ldquo;The Matrix: Resurrections&rdquo; red carpet event, Stahelski gave an update regarding the upcoming videogame movie and shared that he wanted to do the game justice explaining that these types of movies are notorious for not being good and he wants to change that.
"We just want to do it right. You know how video game adaptions can go. So we're taking our time and doing it right. We're working very closely with the game developers to make sure we stick to what's great about it," Stahelski told IGN.
He also revealed information about the progress of the film, explaining that they&rsquo;re still in the script development phase of production, and have not selected any actors to play any of the characters represented within the game.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iqysmS4lxwQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>IGN asked Stahelski if voice-actor, Daisuke Tsuje, who played the main hero, Jin Sakai would reprise his role in the movie, he responded that they didn&rsquo;t reach that phase yet, but he&rsquo;ll see.
Stahelski also told IGN that playing the game "many times" is what drew him to do the project, which is great to hear, making fans of the game breathe a little bit easier seeing that the director studied the source material well.
&ldquo;Ghost Of Tsushima&rdquo; is loosely based on the real-life events when the Mongol empire tried to invade Japan leading to the conquest of the island of Tsushima. In the game, players control the samurai Jin Sakai as he rebels against the invaders and fights back for his homeland.
The game had received a lot of praise for its story, gameplay, and masterfully capturing the details and feel of the period.

“Ghost Of Tsushima” Movie Adaptation In The Works With “John Wick” Director

The Hugo awards have been celebrating literary works of fantasy and science fiction for almost 70 years now, and for the first time ever it added a &ldquo;Best Video Game&rdquo; category, and with that the game &ldquo;Hades&rdquo; made history becoming the first game ever to win a Hugo award.
The category is a single-time thing meaning that it will be removed next year, which in turn might make &ldquo;Hades&rdquo; the only video game to earn the prestigious award.
&ldquo;Hades&rdquo; faced off against tough competitors over the award including &ldquo;The Last Of Us: Part 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Spirirtfarer&rdquo;, &ldquo;Animal Crossing: New Horizons&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Final Fantasy 7 Remake&rdquo;, making the win that more impressive.
Supergiant Games the company behind the game&rsquo;s writer and creative director, Greg Kasavin, took to social media where he shared a video in which he shared some words on behalf of the whole team, expressing how they felt about winning the Hugo Award.
&ldquo;Wish I could have attended the #HugoAwards in person. I wasn't able to make an acceptance speech there on behalf of the team though did have a few words here. I'm grateful that the awards are recognizing work in this category, much less the work we did!&rdquo; captioned Kasavin.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RXq0yBmfiC8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>"We are incredibly honored to be the first-ever recipient of a Hugo award in the category of best video game, We, myself included, grew up experiencing these classic works of science fiction and fantasy, from Ursula K. Le Guin to Philip K. Dick, what have you. That&rsquo;s when we first came across the Hugo Awards name, of course, as kids,&rdquo; said Kasavin.
&ldquo;To have earned this distinction all this time later, especially alongside such an incredible slate of nominees, games of all shapes and sizes, from teams big and small, it really means the world. Video game storytelling has come a long way over the years, and games are really unique as a medium in that they&rsquo;re interactive and you can really inhabit one of these fantastical worlds and see as it reacts to your every move,&rdquo; he continued.
"At Supergiant, we&rsquo;ve tried to marry the traditions of fantasy and science fiction and literature with that unique interactive component and create these worlds that feel as though they are alive as you navigate through them. We&rsquo;re so grateful that our work on Hades has stood out in that way and we hope that the Hugo Awards continue to recognize the amazing work being done in this space,&rdquo; he added.
Finally, he thanked the rest of the team and the families that supported them along the way, as well as the &ldquo;Greek Gods themselves, above and below, for inspiring people&rdquo; like them for several thousands of years now.

Horror games are a dime a dozen, however, there are a few based on movies that tend to be faithful adaptations to their source material, like &ldquo;Friday The 13th: The Game&rdquo;, and another one based on the &ldquo;Evil Dead&rdquo; is coming out and it&rsquo;s bringing the original actors too.
According to a recent interview, the studio behind the new game along with lead actor Bruce Campbell revealed that they were bringing back some of the original actors from the 1981 movie to voice their characters in the game making it more authentic&hellip; and to keep fans quiet too.
Campbell explained that Ellen Sandweiss and Richard DeManincor were reprising their roles as Ash&rsquo;s sister and friend respectively within the game.
&ldquo;That&rsquo;s how much we love our fans, you go that extra mile for them so that they&rsquo;ll shut up!&rdquo; said Campbell.
Campbell is, of course, returning as Ash, while Ray Santiago (played by Pablo Bolivar) and Dana DeLorenzo (Kelly Maxwell) who appeared in the TV show &ldquo;Ash vs Evil Dead&rdquo; are also going to be reprising their roles in the game too making it a complete list of playable characters.

After some rumors, Twitter&rsquo;s co-founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey, confirmed that he is stepping down as the company&rsquo;s CEO.
Confirming the news on a tweet, the former CEO stated that he was resigning effective immediately and that the company&rsquo;s current CTO, Parag Agrawal was taking his place.
Dorsey further confirmed that he will not be staying long on the company&rsquo;s board either eventually cutting ties with it completely, stating that he&rsquo;s always worked on making the company able to still survive without the presence of its founders.
He also explained his selection of Agrawal as his replacement, elaborating that Agrawal understands Twitter and what it needs as well as his complete trust in him.
&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot of talk about the importance of a company being &ldquo;founder-led&rdquo;. Ultimately I believe that&rsquo;s severely limiting and a single point of failure. I&rsquo;ve worked hard to ensure this company can break away from its founding and founders,&rdquo; Dorsey said in a company-wide email that he shared on Twitter.
Check out the full announcement below:

The game &ldquo;Fortnite&rdquo; has its amazing share of characters joining its ranks as playable skins, including the Avengers themselves, and now another lovable Marvel character has joined the fray, and it&rsquo;s none other than Nick Fury himself.
The team behind the game was the first to make the announcement where they revealed what the famous character was going to look like in the game along with what comes included with his bundle.
&ldquo;Nick Fury comes alongside a full set of cosmetics. Bundled with the character no matter what is his F.I.E.L.D. back bling, while an additional pickaxe and glider are available as well,&rdquo; wrote the team in the announcement.
Check out what he will look like below:

Jackson, who plays him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but from what we gathered, Fortnite does its best to have a very close replica of the character.
Fury joins a long list of characters from all kinds of mediums including Batman from DC, The Avengers from Marvel, Boba Fett from Star Wars, and the list goes on and on.
Fury appeared as the main recruiter in many of the MCU's movies, bringing in many of the most famous characters together to form the Avengers. He would later be their de facto director for most of the movies and is one of the few characters that appeared in almost all of them.

It&rsquo;s an extraordinary success, the music of &ldquo;Encanto&rdquo; was suddenly played everywhere in the world. The whole soundtrack of the movie that debuted in theaters in November became the first since 2019 to reach No. 1 on the Billboard charts.&nbsp;
Moreover the film&rsquo;s most popular song, &ldquo;We Don&rsquo;t Talk About Bruno,&rdquo; became the highest-charting song from a Disney animated film in more than 26 years, ranking higher than even &ldquo;Let It Go.&rdquo; Five other songs also from the film have charted on the Billboard 100, including &ldquo;Dos Oruguitas,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Family Madrigal,&rdquo; &ldquo;What Else Can I Do?&rdquo; &ldquo;Waiting on a Miracle&rdquo; and &ldquo;Surface Pressure.&rdquo;&nbsp;
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bvWRMAU6V-c" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;The movie&rsquo;s Colombia-inflected songs, were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is the composer of &ldquo;Hamilton&rdquo; and &ldquo;In the Heights.&rdquo; To him, what&rsquo;s most rewarding is how people are connecting to the songs and its characters that express the dynamics of their own families.&nbsp;
Miranda says &ldquo;The thing we were chasing was: Can we get the complexity of family, a multi-generational Latin family, into a Disney film? That&rsquo;s what people seem to be responding to: &lsquo;I&rsquo;m bopping my head to this but it&rsquo;s kind of deep and there&rsquo;s layers to it.&rsquo;&rdquo;
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DUGtyj5QlEM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;&ldquo;We Don&rsquo;t Talk About Bruno&rdquo; that provokes you to dance now ranks historically like &ldquo;A Whole New World&rdquo; from &ldquo;Aladdin,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Can You Feel the Love Tonight&rdquo; from &ldquo;The Lion King.&rdquo; However, Miranda never saw this popularity coming.
Despite the the breakout, &ldquo;Bruno&rdquo; won&rsquo;t be competing at the Oscars, the submission from &ldquo;Encanto&rdquo; is &ldquo;Dos Oruguitas&rdquo; which translates as &ldquo;Two Caterpillars&rdquo; and is sung by Colombian singer-songwriter Sebasti&aacute;n Yatra. The song has already been shortlisted for the Academy Awards.&nbsp;
Miranda commented on the chance of winning one of these awards saying &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not a thing you consciously chase, I&rsquo;m thrilled to be even within spitting distance of it.&nbsp;
