We will also be discussing their use cases in brief, as well as bringing out the shortcomings to help you make a better decision. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But director Lin-Manuel Miranda and screenwriter Steven Levenson ( Dear Evan Hansen) have found ingenious ways to film Larson’s gangly riot, cogently and poignantly. From many angles, Tick, Tick would seem unfilmable, a jumbled collage of a life and a creative furnace that offers little cinematic possibility. Songs from Superbia feature in Tick, Tick…Boom!, but the latter show also has its own tunes, originally performed onstage by Larson. He’s been toiling away at a passion project called Superbia for the better part of a decade, a sci-fi sort of thing that is bristling with youthful passion but is perhaps too unwieldy in all its big swings. It’s a heavily autobiographical piece about a struggling musical theater writer in 1990 New York, trying to find the words and music that will connect with producers, audiences, and himself. The stage version of Tick, Tick…Boom! was written by the late Jonathan Larson just before he started work on his magnum opus, Rent. Somehow, the film shines through those many layers of metacontext. That is, essentially, all that’s wrapped up in Tick, Tick…Boom!, which debuts on Netflix on November 20. Classy.Finally, along comes a movie musical, based on a stage musical, about the writing of another musical, as its creator is on the way toward writing one of the most defining musicals (a third, different musical) of the last 50 years. He provides the actual voice message left for Larson, which comes at the emotional climax of the show. While the top-class actor Bradley Whitford does a stellar Sondheim taking on the role, the actual Sondheim also pops up at the end of the film – in perhaps one of his last appearances. Luis A Miranda – Miranda's father is the concierge in "No More", where Larson basks in the luxury of his best friend Michael's new apartment. Roger Bart and James C Nicola – Funnily enough, Bart, who appears in the opening number sat in Larson's diner, was a fellow waiter with the Rent creator in the '90s! He's sat opposite legendary director Nicola.ĭanny Burstein and Judy Kuhn – The two Broadway legends are Larson's parents in the filmĬhristopher Jackson and Jelani Alladin – Appear for Larson's final showcase – the two Broadway performers falling for Larson's great work.Īnna Louizos and Robyn Goodman – The vet set designer and three-time Tony Award-winning producer are both jamming along during Larson's apartment-set party, which is the setting for one of the early numbers "Boho Days".

It's taken us a month to put this one together but hey, it's not like tick, tick.Boom! is going anywhere! Lin-Manuel Miranda's film version of Jonathan Larson's semi-autobiographical musical about his great push to make a giant musical, titled SUPERBIA, has made a massive stir, even being nominated for Golden Globes.īut did you know there is an absurd volume of cameos in the film? How many have you spotted? ![]() ![]() ![]() I tested over a period of days at Sephora, Nordstrom and the Fresh store in the Grove. Middle Notes: bergamot, lotus flower, transparent jasmineĪvailable practically on the moon, $80 for 3.4 Ounces, with ancillary products. Notes (from the Fresh Website): Top Notes: mandarin, Italian lemon, grapefruit I don’t think I’m going to purchase this one since I have an ample supply of Annick Goutals that cover this citrus territory better (they’re the older formulations and in Fresh’s defense are more expensive) but if I were in the market for the giggle inducing Hollywood Diet opening alone would make me purchase, at least in the beensy $20 rollerball one. For those of us who like the really heavy hitters it’s like a palate cleanser. Were I going to a job interview it would be perfect, in that I would smell fresh and nice in a completely unchallenging way I won’t smell like the men’s department at Macy’s or the guy from the mail room who hits on all the secretaries. The dry down, while discernible is just a slightly sweet your-skin-but-better clean musk. The middle is still tinged with citrus and when they cal it “transparent” jasmine they aren’t kidding. Trader Joe’s to Santa Monica Blvd METRO bus home killed it off early. This portion of the program lasts for about an hour or three depending on the temps- three in cooler but the walk from the Sunset Blvd. I eat it as much as I can and buy the juice at Trader Joe’s (a bargain at $1.99 for a quart!) If you are a hater of the fruit then this will be the third circle of hell for you, since the opening is an olfactory carbon copy of a cup of perfected pink grapefruit served on shaved ice with the lightest sprinkling of sugar you can imagine. It’s completely uncomplicated, but you must really like grapefruit. Especially on a day like today, when it was in the mid 80’s, or tomorrow, which should hit 90. I used to love that one, along with Cucumber Baie, Redcurrant Basil and Bergamot Citrus. I remember a female coworker who, when I was presenting in a meeting said “G-d you always smell great” when I was wearing Pomegranate Anise. The ones that I like are simple, refreshing and ones that I am inevitably complimented when wearing. This is sometimes greeted as if I admitted that I really enjoyed a nice unfiltered Camel while visiting the maternity ward or smuggling bacon quiche into Kosher restaurants. I admit that I have a love of some of the scents by Fresh. You can still register here to attend (don’t know about availability on the bus.) We had a blast a few years ago when they came to LA and I think this trip will be a blast as well. First of all, can I just write that I am so looking forward to the LA event?

Sometimes writers are advised to “write the book you needed when you were younger.” Publishers can do the same thing. Joe elucidates what a zine is for people who might not remember the 90s. Years later, people he knew back then claimed he had been drunkenly babbling about what would later become Microcosm as early as these teenage years. The year is 1991 and the cool kids are putting together concerts in a concrete bunker on the beach.

Lopota speculated that a real breakthrough to mass markets will indeed occur, but only when we see robotic products that are simultaneously inexpensive and reliable – something that will happen as component parts become less expensive and more standardized. Noting that “advanced robotics is clearly everywhere”, Manyika said that what is particularly striking about the development of robotics these days is the fact that we are starting to innovate on how these systems learn and work, and how humans will interface with these.Ĭiting the latest IFR statistics, Alexander Lopota (Director and Chief Designer at the Russian State Scientific Center for Robotics and Technical Cybernetics) offered a sobering reminder, however, that robotics still remains largely the domain of industry: consumer markets may be getting lots of interest in terms of investment opportunity, but industrial and defense applications are still the driving force in terms of expenditures. In this session, Manyika identified five robotics-related areas of innovation (the Internet of Things, automation of knowledge work, advanced robotics, autonomous and near-autonomous vehicles and 3D printing) as part of McKinsey’s disruptive dozen technologies that are showing critical cost/performance breakthroughs that will enable them to touch major sectors of the global economy. Take, for example, the Day One plenary session Proven State Leadership Strategies in a Hyper-Connected World with Prime Ministers Dmitry Medvedev (Russia), Jean-Marc Ayrault (France) and Jyrki Katainen (Finland), Director of McKinsey Global Institute James Manyika and moderated by MIT Technology Review Editor-in-Chief Jason Pontin. ![]() Robotics played no small part in the Forum’s technical program, which was designed in partnership with MIT Technology Review. This was a major strategic event that had Russia looking both inward and outward, and seemed to be as much about placing Russia on the global innovation map in the eyes of potential investors and partners as it was about bringing recognized innovation experts into Russia so that policy-makers could learn from their experience. The event, which was co-organized by leading Russian government development agencies, was centered around the theme of “Disruption and Innovation: Game Changers Powering the Global Market” and brought together global players in government, industry and research to exchange ideas on innovation leadership and education, and to discuss global innovation trends in key areas such as biomedicine and medical technologies, nanotech, smart tech, advanced manufacturing and – not surprisingly – robotics. The brainchild of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the Forum – now in its second year – was conceived as a launch point for stimulating Russia’s innovation prospects and furthering international investment in a country that has often been the home of scientific breakthrough and discovery, but which has regularly struggled to benefit from these economically. I was invited last month to moderate a panel discussion on the “Robotics Renaissance” at the 2013 Open Innovations Forum in Moscow. ![]() ![]() ![]() Through a tonometer for home use, you can know whether you should stick to medication or go for glaucoma surgery.

The best tonometer for home use can help you manage the condition better and reduce your visits to the hospital. Such high numbers motivated doctors to come up with a gadget for people to monitor their eye pressure from the comfort of their homes. Statistics reveal that more than 2 million of the American population suffers from glaucoma. The disorder is related to the increase of intraocular pressure (IOP). In some people, it causes vision loss that cannot be reversed. It can progress rapidly without displaying any symptoms until a later stage. Glaucoma can damage the optic nerves, which transmit signals from your eyes to the brain. Thankfully, you can now monitor the condition of your eyes using a tonometer for home use. A lot of people live with the condition without even knowing it. This does not reveal any early symptoms making it dangerous. Unfortunately, some people develop an eye disorder called glaucoma. That is why eye care is very crucial for all of us. Our eyes may be small organs, but they play a significant role, and without them, the world would not be the same again.
