The world “legendary” gets thrown around a lot these days, but it’s hard to think of a more suitable adjective to describe Cael Bell, a 12-year-old DJ who had his gear confiscated recently after throwing a rave in his school’s bathroom.His mother, Louise Bell, posted about the miniature Berghain on Facebook earlier this month, explaining how her son’s plan came together. According to her, Cael invited his fellow year 8s at St. Antony’s Catholic College in Manchester, UK, to a lunchtime set in the boys lavatory a couple of weeks ago, spreading the news via Snapchat.The set lasted 30 minutes before being shut down, and included complimentary refreshments – Cadbury Twirls and Lucozade. As a result, Cael has now had his speaker and light equipment confiscated.Mum Louise told the Mirror she was not upset with her son, and was able to find the humorous side of the incident.“I had to laugh. It has been a terrible year and I couldn’t be angry with my son for trying to spread some cheer,” she told the newspaper.“When I heard what Cael had done, from advertising the rave on Snapchat to actually pulling it off and even providing refreshments, I couldn’t help but see…

Law360 (December 18, 2020, 7:44 PM EST) -- Record injury awards and major court rulings caught the attention of personal injury attorneys in 2020, including a U.S. Supreme Court decision barring civil damages in fatal cross-border shooting cases and lower courts' resolution of suits involving questions of liability for social media-related injuries. Here, Law360 looks back at some of the year's top verdicts and decisions.

Cael Bell, photo by Louise Bell, image via Facebook Cael Bell, 12-year-old DJ and all-ages legend, had his equipment confiscated after hosting a rave in the school bathroom. As his mother Louise Bell related on Facebook, the saga began about two weeks ago, when the budding turntablist sent out a Snapchat announcement inviting “all the boys from year 8” at St. Antony’s Catholic College in Manchester, UK. Together, they held an impromptu dance fest in the boys lavatory during lunch period on December 11th. The set included complimentary soft drinks and Cadbury Twirls, and while a school bathroom is a below-average setting for such a lunch, it is certainly cleaner than your typical rave. The set lasted 30 minutes before anti-fun authorities broke it up. Bell’s mother said that the boy’s speaker and lights have been impounded, although she did not herself punish him. In fact she enjoyed the spirit of it all, and wrote, “Am I wrong for finding this funny?” In an interview with The Mirror, she said “I had to laugh. It has been a terrible year and I couldn’t be angry with my son for trying to spread some cheer. When I got the call, it made…

Snap tethers Snapchat to Unity's growing ecosystem of game and ad technologies. Snap (NYSE:SNAP), the parent company of Snapchat, recently partnered with Unity Software (NYSE:U) to bolster its ad and game platforms. Snap will integrate Unity's game engine -- which powers over half of the world's mobile, PC, and console games --- into its Snap Kit SDK (software development kit) for developers. It will add support for Snapchat's Bitmojis, which allow users to play as their virtual avatars, next year. Snap will also integrate the Unity Ads platform, which lets developers insert ads into their games and apps, into the Snap Kit's Audience Network, which allows Snap's advertisers to purchase ads on third-party apps and websites. Let's dig deeper and see how this deal could benefit both companies. Image source: Getty Images. The story thus far... Unity's Create Solutions platform provides cross-platform rendering, lighting, physics, sound, animation, and user interface tools for developers. Bundling those tools has made it easier to create games, since developers previously created those features individually for different platforms -- which was an expensive, buggy, and time-consuming process. Popular video games like Super Mario Run, Among Us, and Monument Valley were all built with Unity. Unity's…

Many of us can link a certain album to pivotal moments in our lives. Whether it’s the first record you bought with your own money, the chord you first learnt to play on guitar, the song that soundtracked your first kiss, the album that got you those awkward and painful pubescent years or the one that set off light bulbs in your brain and inspired you to take a big leap of faith into the unknown – music is often the catalyst for change in our lives and can even help shape who we become. In this Love Letter To A Record series, Music Feeds asks artists to reflect on their relationship with music and share with us stories about the effect music has had on their lives.Cry Club’s Heather Riley – 100 gecs’ ‘1000 gecsNot to sound dramatic, but the first time I listened to this album, I genuinely cried. I’ve you’ve come into contact with anything by 100 gecs, I maaaaaaybe sound a little crazy right now (totally fair) but the impact this strange, noisy, glitchy album had on me was ridiculous. I had my first taste on Snapchat of all places, mindlessly tapping through Vice’s snapchat stories in June 2019…
