It was quite an accomplishment for the filmmakers from Sarofsky, Kartemquin Films, Museum + Crane, their partners at digital-native agency closerlook, and global immunology company argenx, when the first installment of their original unbranded documentary series was invited to premiere at the 2020 Chicago International Film Festival. Directed by Ben Strang ("BEAST," SXSW Jury Award) and shot remotely during the pandemic, "A Mystery to Me" has garnered immense praise for its cinematic storytelling, and its "sense of unguarded intimacy." Created to humanize and raise awareness of the rare neuromuscular disease myasthenia gravis (MG), by design, it features three stories of individuals living with MG. Under Strang's direction, Vanetta Drummer-Fenton, Teresa Hill Putnam, and Glenn Phillips unpack the little understood nuances of their experiences with MG, and through deeply vulnerable interviews, reflect on how to navigate the road ahead. Since the auspicious festival debut for the series pilot, "A Mystery to Me" has continued to earn critical acclaim: Most recently, it brought home a Cannes Lions for Branded Content and Entertainment, was named as a Webby Honoree, and won this year's Brand Film Award in Unbranded Healthcare. It also has been hosted on https://www.mg-united.com, a community site launched by argenx, generating…

A New Haven chef studies the Instagram feed of a Los Angeles chef she admires, emulating his plating style. A Stamford diner owner keeps a notebook of ideas for his indulgent menu, sometimes pulling his car over to jot things down. A restaurateur with several Asian eateries turned trendy birria tacos into a ramen dish when he realized the dishes had common components.Food trends often originate in larger restaurant cities like New York and Los Angeles. But social media, travel and word of mouth help push new emerging items, culinary techniques and flavors to Connecticut restaurants as local chefs keep their eyes open and their creativity flowing to keep menus fresh and exciting. Emily Mingrone, the chef-owner of Tavern on State in New Haven, has been a chef for 15 years, so she said she's relied a lot on her own experience to build the menu at her State Street restaurant. She also cooks seasonally, with recent plates like peaches with stracciatella, red and yellow watermelon salad, and heirloom tomato salad with pickled beans. But she has a few chefs whose work she deliberately seeks out on social media, including Jeremy Fox, a southern California chef who has been featured…

by: Patty Coller Posted: Aug 17, 2021 / 10:54 AM EDT / Updated: Aug 17, 2021 / 10:58 AM EDT OTTAWA COUNTY (WKBN) – An Ohio judge was sanctioned by the Ohio Supreme Court for having conversations with a defendant through Facebook. Ottawa County Judge Bruce Winters was issued a six-month suspension, but that was stayed pending several conditions. The court found that Judge Winters violated several codes of conduct when he began communicating with Keith Blumensaadt outside of the courtroom. According to court documents, Winters was Blumensaadt’s probation officer in the early 1980s before he was a judge. The two had minimal contact until 30 years later when Winters signed a protection order against Blumensaadt, issued by Blumensaadt’s brother and nephew. Blumensaadt was subsequently arrested on 12 felony counts and appeared before Winters where the judge disclosed his prior relationship with the defendant, but the prosecutor and defense counsel said they didn’t have an issue with it. Blumensaadt accepted a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to two felonies and one misdemeanor.  » Read More

Source: Hello I'm Nik / Unsplash A new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality suggests that a careful reading of someone’s LinkedIn profile can reveal true elements of their personality, but only if the reader pays attention to the right signals. “LinkedIn is considered the most effective social network website for job seekers and recruiters,” say the authors of the research, led by Sébastien Fernandez of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland. “Although LinkedIn profiles are regularly accessed to evaluate candidates, we know very little about the type of information conveyed.” To better understand the connection between profile and personality, the researchers evaluated the LinkedIn profiles of 607 graduates of a hospitality management school in Switzerland, ages 22 to 35. They coded each profile for elements they thought might be indicative of someone’s underlying personality, such as whether the person was wearing professional attire, the size of their professional network, and whether they were smiling in their profile photo. Next, they requested that participants take a personality test measuring the Big 5 dimensions of personality: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. This way, they could trace which LinkedIn profile indicators mapped onto people’s…

The Claremont Bowling Club’s member clubhouse continues to be vandalised as the application to temporarily convert the erf into an adventure park goes on. In an ironic twist, the driver behind the proposal to temporarily use the property at 13 Bowwood Road in Claremont for a 4x4 off-road adventure park has discovered that, like the planned trail, the municipal application process is strewn with obstacles.On-site notice by the City of Cape Town at the grounds formerly occupied by the Claremont Bowling Club gave residents until Saturday 13 February to comment on the application for temporary land-use departure in terms of the Cape Town Municipal Planning by-law, 2015: erf 177827 Cape Town. If all had gone to plan, the findings of the public participation process should have been finalised at a Municipal Planning Tribunal (MPT) on Monday 17 May.Rashaad Carlsen, the lessee of the vacant property in Bowwood, says that one week before his application was meant to be deliberated at the MPT meeting, he was notified the item had been removed from the agenda.  » Read More
