Ross expected to rejoin Cubs for Giants series finale originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago Manager David Ross is set to rejoin the Cubs from his COVID-19 isolation for Sunday’s series finale against the Giants, bench coach and acting manager Andy Green said Saturday. Ross and team president Jed Hoyer tested positive for COVID-19 Sept. 3 and have spent the last week isolating. Both have been symptomatic, and the Cubs have not reported any further positive tests. “You're thankful it didn't ,” Green said, “but you're also cognizant of how quickly it can still show up in any clubhouse or any work culture.  NBC Sports “We'll continue our vigilance, but you're not free of this just because you dodged one bullet.” Green’s stint as the acting manager got off to a memorable start — he was ejected Sept. 3 against Pittsburgh and the rest of the Cubs coaching staff collaborated to handle managerial duties.  » Read More

MADMAN FILMS/YouTubeThe Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Martin Phillipps was first released in 2019.REVIEW: Docplay are an Australian based outfit, which at least gives them some incentive to load New Zealand films. Unlike the American platforms who see us as more of a studio backlot than a content provider. Turning up in the last few weeks, The Chills: The Triumph and Tragedy of Martin Phillipps is film-maker Julia Parnell's nicely weighted look at one of New Zealand's greatest ever bands and its enigmatic founder. The Chills are one of the foundation stones of that glorious moment of complex guitar-driven arrangements and mostly introspective lyrics that the world came to know as “The Dunedin Sound”. Parnell’s Chills is a respectful and insightful trip through life in the underfunded, underground New Zealand music scene.DOMINIC ZAPATA/STUFFMartin Phillipps of The Chills talked to Stuff in 2018 about life with hepatitis C and his battle with drugs and depression.

The Snapchat Spectacles came in 2016 with a lot of hype but turned out to be a bloated bubble that ultimately burst. While Snapchat users might disagree with this judgment, the glasses are pretty much useless for anything other than Snapchat. Now Facebook is looking to change that image with Ray-Ban Stories glasses developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, Ray-Ban’s parent company. The glasses don’t come with any display in the lenses so they cannot be called AR glasses by any stretch of the imagination. Still, they have smart capabilities and features to keep users interested in buying what is being described as Ray-Ban’s first generation of smart sunglasses and eyeglasses. Design and built quality On the first look, these glasses give an impression of a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers off the shelf. But these are a tad heavier (since they have built-in camera and speakers) and surprisingly comfortable to wear. This is a big advantage considering other similar attempts at smart glasses have either not been designed for daily wear or have felt too bulky to wear for long durations. The absence of Facebook branding from the Ray-Ban Stories glasses is a wise step, it is only visible on the…

The late American author David Foster Wallace had an idea about “videophony”. In his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, long before phones became an extension of our selves, he imagined a world where video calls had become commonplace. He predicted that this would lead to widespread self-consciousness, which in turn would give rise to digital masks that would brighten skin, erase wrinkles, delete dark circles and give us the perfect smile. Eventually, people would become so obsessed with these digital masks that they would avoid going out and letting people see their real selves. That prescient idea now has a name. Snapchat dysmorphia is a term coined by British cosmetic surgeon Dr Tijion Esho, first used in a report in 2018. He coined it, he has said, when he started noticing that patients were bringing in filtered pictures of themselves as references for cosmetic procedures. How much is too much? With the swipe of a finger, filters on phone camera apps and photo-driven apps such as Instagram and Snapchat let users acquire the biggest eyes, the smoothest skin, cute freckles, long lashes, luscious lips. It’s easy to fall in love with this version of one’s face. But when you start seeing…
