Gigi Hadid's Favorite Dress Brand Is Getting a Millennial Makeover
Step into slip dress heaven, otherwise known as Nili Lotan's new pop-up shop

Nili Lotan has been called many names by the media, including Gigi Hadid's "secret weapon" and "the queen of Tribeca." But now, the Israeli designer who churns out pricey slip dresses, simple cargo pants and luxe denim is attempting a new angle: to be adored by millennials.
To do that, Lotan is opening 87 Mercer, a new concept shop in Soho that aims to offer an online shopping experience IRL. Stocked with exclusive and limited-edition merchandise, the pop-up will have a theme that changes each month. Customers can check out on iPads located in the store, opting to walk out with their new sweater or t-shirt or have it delivered directly to their doorstep.
"In response to the vastly growing world of online shopping, and realizing how technology changes our commercial experience, I came up with the idea to launch a concept space; an installation to experience the brand," Lotan said.

The first theme for the shop is "hope is a thing with feathers," a phrase borrowed from Emily Dickinson. The theme has been translated by photographers Inez & Vinoodh and printed on a graphic t-shirt. The shop will also be stocked with Lotan's signature slip dresses, introduced in entirely new colors. Do you dream of owning a rainbow of slips? If so, clearly this is the shop for you.
Gigi, however, is not the only celeb who has fallen under Lotan's spell. Not only have Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner worn matching slip dresses, but Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna, Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Teigen, Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Selena Gomez are all fans of the pared back line.

This shop will remain in New York for four months and will then travel on to Los Angeles, Paris and Tel Aviv. Lotan has plans to introduce even more cities in the near future.
"Since I do not invest in advertising or fashion shows, this is my way of introducing my brand in selected neighborhoods around the world," she explained to the Observer.
Lotan's prices are usually a bit steep for the average millennial, with jeans going for $425 and a slip dress priced at $595, but this new pop-up will be much more wallet friendly. The designer told The New York Times that most of her clientele is aged between 24 and 34 and she has two people to thank for that: Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. She's adjusted her pricing to attract even more of these young customers. So now 20-somethings can buy $98 t-shirts, in the pursuit of dressing just like their favorite supermodel.

1988 Apr 18 Mo
Speech opening Single Market Campaign
Speeches, interviews, etc.
Lancaster House, central London
Thatcher Archive: speaking text
Between 1015 and 1055. The President of the European Commission, Jacques Delors, was present and spoke shortly after MT.
Trade, Economic, monetary & political union, European Union Single Market
First, welcome to Lancaster House for the launching of this "Europe Open for Business" campaign.
It is the first step along the path of preparing Britain's companies to take the opportunities presented by completion of the Single Market in the European Community in 1992. [end p1]
We must get this right. Too often in the past Britain has missed opportunities.
How we meet the challenge of the Single Market will be a major factor, possibly the major factor, in our competitive position in European and world markets into the twenty-first century. [end p2] Getting it right needs a partnership between government and business.
The task of government is two-fold: —to negotiate in Brussels so as to get the possible results for Britain; —and then to make you the business community aware of the opportunities, so that you can make the most of them. [end p3]
It's your job, the job of business, to gear yourselves up to take the opportunities which a single market of nearly 320 million people will offer.
Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers—visible or invisible—giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power [end p4] of over 300 million of the world's wealthiest and most prosperous people.
Bigger than Japan. Bigger than the United States. On your doorstep. And with the Channel Tunnel to give you direct access to it.
It's not a dream. [end p5] It's not a vision. It's not some bureaucrat's plan. It's for real. And it's only five years away.
Completing the Single Market
You might say: weren't we supposed to have a common market already? Wasn't that the reason we joined Europe in the first place? [end p6] Weren't we promised all this in 1973?
It's a fair question to ask. And the truthful answer is: Europe wasn't open for business. Underneath the rhetoric, the old barriers remained. Not just against the outside world, but between the European countries. [end p7]
Not the classic barriers of tariffs, but the insiduous ones of differing national standards, various restrictions on the provision of services, exclusion of foreign firms from public contracts.
Now that's going to change. Britain has given the lead. [There was a tendency in Europe to talk in lofty tones of European Union. [end p8]
That may be good for the soul. But the body—Europe's firms and organisations and the people who work in them—needs something more nourishing.]
We recognised that if Europe was going to be more than a slogan then we must get the basics right. That meant action. [end p9]
Action to get rid of the barriers. Action to make it possible for insurance companies to do business throughout the Community. Action to let people practice their trades and professions freely throughout the Community. Action to remove the customs barriers and formalities so that goods can circulate [end p10] freely and without time-consuming delays. Action to make sure that any company could sell its goods and services without let or hindrance. Action to secure free movement of capital throughout the Community.
All this is what Europe is now committed to do. In 1985 the Community's Heads of [end p11] Government gave a pledge to complete the single market by 1992. To make sure that it was not just a pious hope, they made that pledge part of the Treaty, as the Single European Act.
So it's going to happen. Indeed the barriers are already coming down. Monsieur Delors, the President of the [end p12] Commission, and our own Commissioner Arthur Cockfield, deserve a lot of credit for the way in which they are keeping up the momentum.
So far Britain hasn't done nearly well enough in trade with Europe. True, the direction of our trade has been [end p13] transformed. Half of it is now with the European Community.
But the balance is nothing like satisfactory, especially in manufactured goods. The fact is that although we haven't done very well in Europe, Europe has done very well in Britain. [end p14]
Our national failure to make the most of the opportunities when we joined the Community was part of a much more general failure.
In those days, Britain was in the forefront of those resisting change, in fighting to preserve the barriers.
Some in Britain still see it that way, but they are getting fewer and fewer. [end p15]
The difference is that now we can look forward with confidence to sweeping away the barriers. We have a highly successful economy. We have had seven years of growth. Job creation in this country is unmatched anywhere else in Europe.
We have a climate in Britain in which business [end p16] wants to succeed and can succeed. We have a chance to be world leaders again.
The task now is to harness that spirit of enterprise to tackling the challenge of the Single Market.
The Response
But five years isn't long. [end p17] Indeed it barely takes you into the next Conservative government! It means that business needs to prepare itself quickly. Starting right now.
You have shown by coming here today that you recognise the challenge and are aware of what needs to be done. But the message needs to be spread much [end p18] more widely. Today's conference is not just a one-off event. That is why we have set ourselves a target of ensuring that over 90%; of British firms are aware of the 1992 commitment by the end of this year. It must be the start of a sustained national effort to ensure that everyone in business, in industry, in the service [end p19] sector, is aware of the challenge.
And not just in business and industry. We are putting the European Community to work for ordinary people: for cheaper air fares, for more and better services, for consumer choice and product safety.
We know a lot about the obligations of Community membership. [end p20] Now it's time to seize the opportunities too.
We in government will do our part. David Young will be leading a major five-year campaign to take the message to every part of the country. Today's conference will be followed by twenty regional conferences and more detailed seminars throughout the country. [end p21]
You too can help by spreading the message throughout British business.
But awareness is only the start of the battle. Companies need to identify the new opportunities and go out and seize them.
By 1993 Europe will be our home market. That means that we won't just be exporting [end p22] to eleven other countries. We will be doing business in a single domestic market.
Getting to grips with that basic proposition will mean a major re-think, for companies of every size: —it means looking afresh at all your plans and priorities: [end p23] —it means searching out opportunities to sell to new customers, and develop new products; —it means looking at what your competitors are doing, both British and in the other Member States; —it means considering all the options [end p24] for doing business, including joint ventures, acquisitions, establishing local outlets, as well as exporting in the traditional sense.
Above all, it means a positive attitude of mind: a decision to go all out to make a success of the single market.

Actress Kate Walsh Sold Out Her 'Boyfriend' On HSN
Actress Kate Walsh, a "Grey's Anatomy" alum and now the star of "Private Practice, apparently picked the right venue to launch her women's fragrance "Boyfriend."
Flame-haired Walsh's fragrance train case, including Boyfriend eau de parfum, pulse point oil and votive candle, sold out on Day One, Nov. 11, of her HSN appearance, exceeding sales expectations, so we are told.
"The success of launch day sales of the Boyfriend Fragrance train case, which offers a collection of fine fragrance and bath and body products, occurred in just 50 minutes of air time," HSN said in a press release Wednesday.
"Walsh began selling the single pulse point roller ball, solid perfume and body creme on Day Two. The pulse point oil and body cream both sold out by day's end. The launch day sales of Boyfriend, further reinforces the success that HSN has achieved with celebrity fragrances."
Here is some more hype from the release:
Walsh describes her inspiration for the fragrance coming from a mysterious ex-boyfriend whose scent she missed. She wanted to be able to recreate the scent of that shirt he left behind. "A warm, nuzzly scent, this fragrance embraces you like a big hug. I really wanted women to have that delicious feeling of romance whether 'he's' in the picture or not," says Walsh. "I was thrilled to launch on HSN and to share my vision of the Boyfriend story with HSN viewers."
And HSN honchos managed to get their two cents in.
"Boyfriend's success further reinforces our role in changing the paradigm for a prestige fragrance launch and our commitment to continue to innovate in the retail space," Lynne Ronon, HSN's executive vice president of merchandising, said in a canned statement.
But here is some interesting dope on the social-media marketing of the scent.
Leading up to the launch of Boyfriend, Walsh released eight webimercials that she wrote and direcred, "relaying the sentiments the Boyfriend scent was developed to evoke," HSN said.
Launched via various social media channels, including Twitter, YouTube and select blogs, the Boyfriend webimercials have been viewed more than 200,000 times to date and were released by Walsh prior to her appearance on HSN to drive excitement and anticipation.

That's always amzing to me, I could never see buying a fragrance without smelling it first, but, kudos to her on her success!
I agree! I ordered Maeilyn Miglin's sampler awhile back and thankfully, I was able to return it. I only liked 2 of the scents…one was a bit overpowering and the other was nice but not for me…it all went back. Go to a perfume store, smell, then order, if it's cheaper online or HSN or whatever.
Also, scent changes on your skin. Ask for a sample, rub in the crease of your elbow, then smell again an hour later. It may change a great deal.


Steven Spielberg is reportedly in talks to direct a Cold War thriller starring Tom Hanks.
Another day, another potential Steven Spielberg movie.
As a number of competing projects and producers vie for the director's attention to be his next film, Spielberg has added a Cold War thriller starring Tom Hanks to his ever-expanding list of candidates, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The yet untitled film written by Matt Charman would tell the true story of James Donovan (Hanks), an American attorney who was enlisted by the CIA to slip behind the Iron Curtain and negotiate the release of downed U-2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers.
Spielberg hasn't made a movie since 2012's "Lincoln," and false starts on the sci-fi tentpole "Robopocalypse" and the military drama "American Sniper" left a vacuum that has been filled with numerous choices on his part -- and frenzied speculation on everyone else's.
Although he has a number of projects on his development slate at the moment, Spielberg can only realistically deal with one or perhaps two at a time; the others would likely be handed off to other DreamWorks collaborators or simply fall by the wayside.
Another possibility is Spielberg returning to "Robopocalypse," an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's book about a futuristic war between robots and humans. Spielberg shelved the project in January 2013, but a rewrite has reportedly been completed.
Spielberg has also been linked to a historical epic about the Spanish conquistador Cortez based on a 50-year-old script by "Spartacus" scribe Dalton Trumbo, with a rewrite by Steve Zaillian ("Schindler's List").
Two more projects on Spielberg's plate that are in all likelihood not his next movie are the 19th-century religious drama "The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara," based on David Kertzer's nonfiction book, and another presidential drama, based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's book "The Bully Pulpit" (Kearns also wrote "Team of Rivals," which became the basis for "Lincoln").
If Spielberg does make the Cold War thriller, it will mark his fourth film with Hanks, after "Saving Private Ryan," "Catch Me If You Can" and "The Terminal."
What film do you think Spielberg should direct next? Cast your vote in the poll below, and let us know why in the comments.

Warner Bros. Launches Online Syndication Effort
By Jim Benson
When Warner Bros. officially rolls out Two and a Half Men for off-network syndication in fall 2007, it will offer stations and cable networks the right to stream five off-network episodes per week on their own Web sites.
Warner Bros. will also provide supplemental content for the Webcasts: outtakes, bloopers and cast interviews—material customarily found on DVDs.
Warner Bros. Television Group President Bruce Rosenblum touts the free on-demand digital plan as "precedent-setting." Until now, syndicators have been much more cautious than broadcast networks about venturing into new digital territory.
The model allows stations to stream all of the previous week's episodes of Men for seven days. Cable networks can offer a different week's worth of episodes on their Websites over the same duration.
Rosenblum says the model, intended to drive traffic to station Web sites, will differ from the networks'. He notes that they use their own Web sites and online companies, rather than affiliates, to stream mostly in-house–produced episodes and promos.
In the coming months, Rosenblum and Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution (WBDTD) President Dick Robertson will evaluate, on a case by case basis, using a similar strategy for other off-network and first-run shows. The studio, Rosenblum says, is moving to "adapt quickly to the rapidly evolving world of digital distribution." But he expresses concern about networks' leaving out content rights-holders from digital plans announced at next week's upfronts.
Warner Bros. promised that Men buyers would benefit and offered them a 50-50 split on the Web ad inventory. The studio, sweetening the pot at a time when advertisers' appetites have substantially increased for multiplatform buys, is ramping up to seek what some estimate could be as much as $3.8 million per episode—$2.5 million in cash license fees and the rest in national barter.

The amount of time we take to get ready for our Holiday parties, brunch and family get together is a bit overwhelming, but oh so fun. Seeing your friends, family and lovers on their best behavior is always so so charming. If you've been reading this blog for awhile, you may know that I like taking the easiest route when it comes to getting ready, even tho I am a huge fan of haircare and skincare products. I always crave a simple look in my mane because I've always been a fan of the done/undone look french women achieve so easily. To me, something clean yet chic is always the best option. I teamed up with Pharmaprix and Unilever to show you guys a very accessible yet put together hairstyle for the upcoming Holidays. Creating this look only takes a few minutes, four products and one metallic hair pin. Do it yourself and fool everyone by thinking you took five hours to do your hair or had an hairdresser appointment.
Step 1: First step to recreate this curly finish is obviously to wash your hair and blow-dry them. In the shower, I used the Nexxus® Therappe® Shampoo & Nexxus® Humectress® Conditioner. Both nourish and help rediscover strength and flexibility. Formulated with concentrated, 100% Elastin Protein, they basically restore your hair's natural weightless fluid beauty. I personally love the conditioner, my hair was so smooth after I used it. Since I am dying my hair a lot lately, I need to take extra care of them so a good conditioner is always more than welcome.
Step 2: Curling your hair takes a little time but is a necessary step to obtain the final Holiday look. It helps create the illusion of bouncy, healthy locks while maximizing volume. I personally like to curl all strands in the same direction for a more glamorous finish. Do not forget to brush your hair after the whole process to shape the perfect silk looking vintage look.
Step 3: My secret weapon is to use dry shampoo to add extra volume to my mane. I spray it at my roots and a bit on top of my head then shake it off with my hands. You can also spray some on your hair clip so that it stays in place longer. Yep, dry shampoo is not only for when you overslept or you don't have time to wash your hair (guilty!).
Step 4: After styling with Dove Refresh + Care Volume Dry Shampoo, you just have to clip your hair in a fancy looking way. Divide your hair in half and then twist the upper part, starting from the left. Add your clip to the right side of your head and loose up a few strands with your hands.
Step 5: Fix your creation with TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist TM Level 2 Hairspray. This step is optimal if you want your mane to stay in place the whole night. The product also adds shine to your locks, which is not something we want to pass on.
me some photos. I love to see you guys getting ready for the Holidays. If you shop at Pharmaprix, you can get 1,000 bonus points* and be entered for a chance to WIN‡ 1 of 20 $500 Shoppers Drug Mart gift cards when you purchase three participating† TRESemmé®, Nexxus® or Dove Hair products and scan your PC Optimum card.

The GoPro HERO5 Black and HERO5 Session look very different, but there are also important differences under the hood. Here's a detailed comparison.
There are three cameras in GoPro's current range: the top-level HERO5 Black, the mid-range HERO5 Session, and the entry-level HERO Session. I'm focusing here on the first two.
GoPro is currently running a deal for the HERO7 Black and Fusion cameras where you get $100 off by trading in any old GoPro or other digital camera in any condition, whether it's working or not. GoPro covers the cost of shipping your old camera in as well as 2-day shipping with the new camera.
The deal is only available at GoPro.com.
The first thing you notice is the difference in shape and size. The HERO5 Black looks more like the traditional GoPro shape. The other two are compact cubes (well, almost cubes) that continue the design first introduced in the HERO4 Session.
These two cameras share many of the new headline features: 4K video, in-camera video stabilization, and voice controls.
But there are also important differences beyond their shape and size. So if you're trying to choose between them, here's a detailed breakdown of their similarities and differences.
Note that the HERO5 Session is different from the HERO Session. Overall, the HERO5 Session has more features and comes at a higher price point.
The HERO5 Black has a removable battery. The battery in the HERO5 Session is hardwired in and isn't removable. So you can't swap it out for a freshly charged one or replace it when it has finally exhausted its recharging cycle limit.
To check out how the battery life compared, I put a HERO5 Black and a HERO5 Session side-by-side to record non-stop 1080p60 footage (with Protune and stabilization turned off). They were in the same conditions and the same scene. The Black ran for 1 hr 47 mins, while the Session ran for 1 hr 53 mins. So they were essentially the same, although if one were to have a slight edge, I would have expected it to be the Black. Of course, this is hardly a definitive lab test, and there are some reasons your mileage might vary, including different settings, different memory cards, the health of the battery, and even the environmental temperature (lithium batteries don't work well in very cold temperatures).
Both cameras charge via a USB-C cable. Neither comes with an AC adapter, but most standard USB chargers will work, as will external batteries.
You can also run both of them from an external power source, such as an external battery pack or AC, while filming, although doing so means that the camera won't be waterproof. To access the ports to plug in the cable means that the small cover doors over the ports have to stay open.
I have a more detailed post on charging the HERO5 cameras here.
The difference in shape and size is obvious when you look at them.
The HERO5 Session is a much more compact package overall, so it's well-suited to mounting in tight spots, in places where discretion is important, and in places where the reduced surface area might be a factor for resistance against high-speed winds. And, of course, it's just that little bit easier to throw in your pocket.
Weight. In short, while neither is what you'd call heavy, the HERO5 Session is much lighter. These measurements are taken without the Frame mounts. Both are with a memory card. In the Black's case, it's with the battery installed (the battery is hardwired in the HERO5 Session.
HERO5 Session: 1.49 in (37.9mm) wide, 1.49 in (37.9mm) tall, and 1.42 in (36.1mm) deep.
HERO5 Black: 2.4in (61.7mm) wide, 1.7in (44.4mm) tall, and 0.9in (24mm) deep. The lens port protrudes a little from the body, and the depth of that portion with the lens port is 1.3in (32.3mm).
Starting with the HERO4 Session, GoPro started incorporating waterproofing into the camera's case in quite a different way than earlier models had. Both of these new models continue that new method.
The upshot is that both of these cameras are waterproof on their own without a housing. They're rated to withstand the pressure without leaking down to 33 feet (10 metres). If you want to go deeper than that, or want to add extra protection, you can pick up a dive housing separately.
Dispensing with the separate housing has both advantages and disadvantages. An upside is that the whole package can be smaller. A downside is that there's no longer a first line of defense against damage, and the new method doesn't offer the same level of waterproofing protection of the old Standard Housing. If you damage the lens port or the trap-doors you can replace those, but cracking the case or the screen might mean having to replace the camera rather than just a housing.
You also still have to be able to access inside some parts of the camera, whether to insert a memory card, replace a battery (for the HERO5 Black), or connect cables. That means that you need some kind of removable cover. Both of these models use a detachable trap-door with a built-in seal; the Black has two of them, while the HERO5 Session has one. While there's a slight variation in the latch between the two models, in both cases the doors are quite flimsy, and it's possible for grit to prevent a proper seal. In short, the doors form a potential weak link, but it's one both cameras share.
Something to be aware of is that by themselves neither camera has a mounting point. So if you want to mount it, you'll need at least a Frame mount that provides the distinctive GoPro attachment system. Both cameras come with a wrap-around Frame. It provides that mounting point but doesn't offer much in the way of protection.
One of the biggest practical differences between these two cameras is how you interact with them.
There are some similarities. Both offer the new voice activation system which lets you use basic voice commands like starting and stopping recording, taking photos, or changing modes. Both can be controlled with the GoPro mobile app, now renamed Capture. And both will work with the Smart Remote and the new Remo voice remote.
But the controls on the cameras themselves are very different. The Black has three buttons, a small monochrome LCD screen on the front, and a large, color LCD on the back. You can control the camera and change settings with the buttons and the small screen on the front. And you can use the back screen, which has touch control, to move through all of the cameras options and settings.
With the HERO5 Session, you have two buttons as well as a much smaller monochrome LCD screen. It's designed for simplicity, and if you tend to shoot with the same settings most of the time—and especially if you use the QuickCapture mode—it can work well. If you find yourself changing settings or shooting modes often, it can get tedious quickly. It's the same setup as the HERO4 Session, and having used that for quite some time and now using the HERO5 Session as well, it's not my favorite way of controlling the camera. It works, but it's slow, and not all the settings are available this way.
The Black has one; the HERO5 Session doesn't. It's a bright, clear screen that helps with framing the shot, playing back footage or viewing photos, and changing settings. And it's a touchscreen, so you navigate by tapping and swiping rather than having to the use the buttons. It's a significant improvement over the one on the HERO4 Silver.
It does several things, but I like it most as a way to the see what you're shooting and compose the shot. You can also do that through the Capture mobile app, which works with both cameras, but the on-board screen provides a much quicker and simpler way on the camera itself. With the HERO5 Session you either point and hope or connect the Capture app.
A catch is that without a protective housing the screen becomes more vulnerable. I'm not aware of any way to replace just the screen if you crack it--it most likely means a new camera.
Overall, they offer broadly similar video options, although the Black has more options and offers more flexibility than the HERO5 Session.
Video Stabilization. Both have the new in-camera video stabilization, which GoPro calls EIS. It can work reasonably well in many situations to create smoother footage by minimizes vibration and jitter. It's not perfect, and being a software solution it's not as effective as a good gyro gimbal, but I suspect it will be a popular feature for many people. I've put together some side-by-side examples of it here so you can see exactly what kind of effect it has.
Resolution. Both of these cameras have 4K video at 30 fps as their top-end mode. Below that size they offer mostly identical resolutions with the exception of the smallest 480p mode that isn't available on the HERO5 Session. Not every FPS and FOV setting is shared for every resolution.
Video Modes. When it comes to the combination of resolution, framerate, and field of view, these two cameras have many video modes that overlap. But the HERO5 Black has quite a few more options, especially in the high frame-rate modes. There's a handful of modes that the HERO5 Session has that the Black doesn't, but they don't really offer anything extra—they're mostly toned down compromises of what's on the Black.
Protune. Both offer Protune options for video, although they don't have all of the same options. For several of the settings, the Black offers more options.
A notable Protune option that the Black has that the HERO5 Session doesn't is the ability to record a separate high-quality audio track (more on that below). It also unlocks significantly higher ISO ratings, although the image quality deteriorates the higher you go.
Tip: If you hold the shutter down in the single photo mode, it will keep taking photos at 5 frames per second until you release the shutter.
Night Mode. Both have night mode, which allows for longer shutter speeds to let more light in. It also risks getting blurry photos if your camera isn't still.
Protune. Both cameras have Protune options for photos, although they're not all exactly the same. In general, the Black has more options. Notably, it offers the ability the set both a maximum and minimum ISO, whereas the HERO5 Session only lets you set a maximum ISO.
RAW File Format. Both cameras let you save images as standard JPG files. One of the new features on the HERO5 Black is the ability to save photos in a RAW file format. It uses the file extension GPR. The RAW format opens up the potential for better image quality, but the downside comes in terms of convenience in that you really need to add the step of processing them before sharing them. The HERO5 Session doesn't offer the RAW image format for still photos.
HDR Photos. GoPro calls this WDR, for wide dynamic range, and it's designed to bring out more detail in the shadows and highlights. It's available on the Black but not on the HERO5 Session.
Both models offer two methods for creating a timelapse.
Timelapse Photo. This is the old-fashioned way of shooting a sequence of still images, downloading those images from the memory card, and stitching them together on your computer using a separate app like GoPro Studio. Like previous models, the available intervals in-camera (without using an external intervalometer) are 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, and 60 seconds. This method gives you maximum flexibility and potentially much better image quality, but it also involves several more steps and time spent post-processing.
Timelapse Video. The other method is to have the cameras compile the video on the fly to create a finished mp4 timelapse video. This saves a lot of extra steps and time, although you end up with less flexibility. It offers the same intervals as the timelapse photo method. Both can create timelapse videos at 4K, 2.7K4:3, and 1080p.
Night Lapse Photo. Both have the Night Lapse Photo mode. This is a timelapse mode that provides extra interval and shutter speed options better suited to low-light shooting.
One of the new additions with the HERO5 Black is the ability to record a high-quality audio track as a separate WAV file alongside your video recording, and you can choose among different quality settings. The HERO5 Session doesn't have that feature—the audio is standard audio embedded in the video file.
Wireless. Both have wifi and Bluetooth for wireless connections. That means you can control them with a mobile device or one of GoPro's remotes.
USB. Both use the new USB-C connection. That connection is used for charging, connecting external microphones, and data transfer (N.B.: for both it's limited to USB 2 speeds, not USB 3.0).
HDMI. The Black has a micro-HDMI (Type D) connection for attaching the camera directly to a TV or display; the HERO5 Session doesn't.
Both cameras take the same kind of microSD cards. And because they both have high-end video modes that record at 60 mb/s, you'll need a fast memory card that can keep up. I have a separate post with more information on this along with some recommendations for the best SD cards for the HERO5 Black and HERO5 Session.
The HERO5 Black includes the option of adding GPS location tags to the EXIF metadata of still images and video. That automatic geolocation function will be very useful to anyone trying to place the images on a map or sort by location. When activated, the GPS function does detract slightly from battery life. The HERO5 Session doesn't have GPS functionality.
Which to Get? HERO5 Black or HERO5 Session?
There's obviously no "right" answer to this. Both are good cameras. I have both and tend to reach more often for the Black, mainly because of the convenience of the screen and relative ease of changing settings. But the small size of the HERO5 Session makes it an excellent option when mounting the camera in tight places or things that are moving, like under a bike seat or on a car or on a surfboard--basically anywhere that smaller is better.
Maximum Control Over Video Output: HERO5 Black. It simply has more options, giving you more control. It also has significantly better support for high framerate shooting.
Recording Musical or Theatrical Performances: HERO5 Black. You can enable the option to create high-quality audio files alongside your video, offering much better audio quality.
Size: HERO5 Session. It's, well, smaller. If you're mounting it in tight places or simply want to minimize what you're carrying around, it's an easy decision.
Giving as a Gift: I get asked this quite a lot, and it's hard to give a one-size-fits-all answer. If price isn't an issue, the HERO5 Black is a better camera. But assuming price is a consideration, the HERO5 Session is well-suited to anyone who wants to put a camera on their skateboard or surfboard or just carry it around with them all the time. The Black is a better option for using more like a traditional camera for traveling and everyday shooting largely because of its built-in LCD screen. It's also worth throwing into the mix that there is also the entry-level HERO Session, which looks like the HERO Session but is cheaper and has fewer features.
Price: Of course, price is naturally a consideration much of the time. The HERO5 Black has an MSRP of $399, while the HERO5 Session has an MSRP of $299.
When GoPro launched the current range, they simplified the lineup and reduced the pricing compared to previous models. The HERO5 Black's MSRP is $399 (less than the $499 set for the HERO4 Black), and the HERO5 Session MSRP is $299.
Both models are available at major retailers like Amazon and B&H Photo.
Which GoPro HERO4 Accessories Will Work with the GoPro HERO6 Black and HERO5 Black?
This review is wonderful! Allowed me to make a decision :-) . Just 1 question: Does it make a difference which replacement batteries I select?
Thank you so much fir sharing you knowledge.
Glad you found it useful! The GoPro-branded ones work, although they tend to be more expensive than some of the other options. But you get peace of mind that it works. Many of the less expensive third-party batteries also work well, but there was a situation a couple of years ago when GoPro issued a firmware update for the HERO5 Black that stopped any third party batteries from working. That has since been worked out, and the newer batteries from companies like Wasabi Power and Smatree (and others) work well. I have a much more detailed post on batteries for the HERO5 Black here.
And I also have a more detailed post on the various charging methods for the HERO5s that might be of interest.
This was a great article. Thank you for the detailed information. I am curious though, why are there so very many of these showing up as "certified refurbished". I got suckered into saving $50 by buying one from a vendor. It looked great until I looked at the first recording. The image had a huge black area in the center. My guess is it was exposed to bright light for a long time. As I look today there are no less than 20 vendors selling refurbs. It just makes me wonder if they are all returns due to defects.
I don't have any inside information on those and haven't ever purchased one of the ones labeled certified refurbished so can't speak to it from personal experience. I know GoPro does have their own certified refurbished program--not sure if all the ones available are passing through GoPro or some other third parties, and I don't know why there are so many different vendors selling them. But I would assume/hope that it's still covered by warranty so you can exchange it for a working one. As products, GoPros probably do lend themselves to a higher than usual refurbished program because they come out with new models pretty regularly and many users upgrade. GoPro also sometimes has trade-in promotions that will inevitably build their collection of used cameras.
One thing I didn't see mentioned is the EIS on both and in what modes (resolution/fps) it can be enabled.
I have a hero 5 black and was contemplating getting a session to mount on an RC to record 1080p @60fps, but I wasn't sure if EIS is usable on the session at that setting.
You can find the EIS-enabled video modes for the HERO5 Session in a chart on this page.
Great review! Very comprehensive and easy to follow. The having the difference scenarios in the 'which one to get' section was fantastic!
I think I will go the Black simply because of the screen and battery replacement.
Thanks for the comprehensive overview, based on your summary I chose the Black.
Many thanks for taking the time, I appreciate the effort.
Glad it was useful, and enjoy the camera!
I want to get one of these to record stuff on fun runs, urban races and obstacle course I do. I will obviously have it attached to my body in some way. You have given such a comprehensive review but I still don't know which would be better for the purpose I want it for.
Both will handle that easily. An advantage of the HERO5 Session in this case would be its size--it's significantly smaller (and therefore less prone to bumping and jiggling) than the Black. If the activities go longer than a couple of hours, though, the ability to swap out batteries in the Black will come in handy.
So I'm trying to do makeup tutorials it will be inside, but in a brightly lit room, I'm trying to decide between the hero 5 session and the hero 5, the two you are talking about here, I want the quality to be really good so you can see all the details in the makeup, do you think the hero 5 has that much better of video quality ? Is the price difference worth it for this type of video? I would really appreciate your opinion, thank you!
Unless you're planning on posting them at 4K, which isn't practical in a lot of instances, I doubt you'll find much difference in quality between these for that kind of use. A bigger issue might be that they both have a very wide-angle fisheye lens which isn't especially flattering when filming people up close. That's standard with GoPros and most action cams. To see the kinds of details you're talking about you'd need the camera to be very close indeed.
Thanks for the great review. I still can't decide between the two. I'm planning a family trip to a big magical amusement park, and I'd like to "wear" the camera, presumably with the body harness contraption, to capture the whole adventure. Is the size difference big enough to make this set-up more comfortable with the Session, versus the Black?
On that kind of use I don't think you'd find much difference in the size/weight. One specific feature I do find useful for family holidays is the back screen on the Black so that you can see what you're shooting, but you'll end up with some great footage/photos with either of them.
Forgot to mention, the ability to swap out batteries is another handy feature of the Black when it comes to this kind of use.
great review of the 2 cameras. Im in the same boat as a lot of people. Travelling through Italy, France, Greek islands next month - already have a great general use camera - so just looking for something small and handy to supplement. Both the hero 5 and session 5 fit this.
I also cycle quite a bit and go Trail running. I dont mount my cameras but just pull them out when required, snap a few shots on the run and put away again. So compact is good. I was looking at the session 5 solely for this reason, but heard the 'still shots' it takes aren't the best ??
The ones I prefer for that kind of thing are the HERO5 Black and HERO4 Silver for two reasons: the built-in screen makes it much easier with stills images to make sure you're getting what you want to get in the frame, and the replaceable battery comes in very handy when you're traveling and don't always have time to charge or easy access to charging. I actually just ran into this issue yesterday. I was out and had both a HERO5 Session and HERO5 Black with me and was planning to shoot with both, but it turns out that I hadn't checked that they were charged before heading out the door. Since I had a spare battery on me, I could easily swap out the one in the Black but it was no go with the Session.
I have a more detailed post on using GoPros as regular cameras here.
There's nothing wrong with using the HERO5 Session, as such, but there have been enough times that my photos haven't ended up composed as I want them to be that I much prefer the built-in screen. And yes, you can use the mobile app, but that's a pain when you're doing the kind of quick snap and run you're talking about.
One thiing that keeps me torn between the two. I am planning to use it to record, dence choreographies, now the audio doesnt really matter for me, since it will be separately put into the video later, so for merely maximum quality video recording is the session enough?
I would imagine you'd find the video quality with the HERO5 Session perfectly acceptable for that use. Something else you might want to consider, though, is the back screen, especially if you need to be able to keep dancers in the frame while they're moving around. You'll be guessing more with the HERO5 Session, whereas the HERO5 Black has the live-view screen built in.
Hero 5 Session should be perfect for the use that you describe, so long as you opt to use the phone app to view and monitor the frame, as well as it being very handy for setting and adjusting Protools settings for lighting and so forth.
Just be careful in considering other uses in the future. I purchased and use the Session version, but now wishing I had made the other choice, to have the options for more active footage uses, such as speed sensors, GPS, and also some of the extended options for white balance, framerates, etc.
The real difference that made it a difficult choice for me were simply price, convenient size, and being able to carry the Session model comfortably in a pocket. Even if i had purchased the Black instead, I'd still opt to use the phone app to monitor the camera's view.
I'm still torn between the two!
I'm going to be on a Euro-road-trip this spring, i'm looking for a dash cam/action cam for cycling through tuscany, driving through the mountains of Austria and also just wearing VERY discreetly walking up the eiffel tower etc. My biggest concern is the battery life and so I'm swaying towards the Black for the option to change bateries, but I'm also looking for discretion and not drawing too much attention to myself as a traveller!
Is the Session able to be charged whilst filming? For example a battery pack or plugged into the car?
Yes, you can power both of them with external power while filming, although connecting either of them to external power does mean exposing the ports, which in turn means they're not waterproof while it's connected. Traditional USB power bricks work well, as do some slightly less traditional versions like this combination battery/grip. I usually travel with a small power bank like this or this; both fit comfortably in a pocket and they're handy for all devices like phones etc that also use the USB power standard.
Neither model is really discrete, but for the use that you describe, it sounds like you may prefer the Black model. There may come a time in the future where you may want the added GPS options to chart your travels, sort photos and videos by location, or have compass, altitudes, or speed traveled information available. Those features are not available on the Session model.
Both can be charged while using, and both can use any commonly available rechargeable USB battery pack, but I think many would prefer to have an extra battery or two, just because it's easier to handle than carrying around a camera connected to a battery pack, while filming.
I use the sessions 4 for filming while plugged into the car for making travel videos. It is true that it exposes the ports to dust and/or moisture however a small plastic bag taped over the door appears to have solved that issue. You can record for as long as your card has space. Its not really necessary to access the camera directly at those times and the app works great.
Hey! Does anybody know if it is possible to record 1080p at 90 frames per second while using video stabilization on the hero 5 session. Thanks.
No, it's not available at 90fps. The fastest it will work on is 60fps. There is a small bug in the Capture mobile app where you can turn on stabilization at 60fps and then change fps to 90 and it looks like the stabilization stays on, but it's not actually going to work.
For the Hero 5 Black, is this a new battery configuration or can I use the same battery from previous models?
It's a new configuration, so the batteries from previous models won't work. Nor will third-party batteries--you have to stick with GoPro-branded ones. I have more details on it here.
I have used the hero 3+ and 4black and was thinking of getting a hero5 black and hero5 session.
As I fly a gyrocopter, I wanted to be sure that they both do video stabilisation at 4K?
Oops - I just saw that you had already answered this in another section on stabilisation.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your detailed review!
I have been doing a lot of research on the latest GoPro's, as I am nearing one of the most important travel's I will ever have! I'm sure there are other's who share my concerns and interests when it comes to such occasions.
One thing that I have often been struggling to find in any review that I have come across so far is that how reviewers (including the company on their website itself) have failed to mention the amount of data, in terms of number of hours of video, that can be recorded in different capacities of storage cards.
I have to point out that one of the reasons that this question may be basic or less nuanced is because I am new to the GoPro scene. however, I believe it would help.
Let me put forward what I expect for my trip - it is a study tour - and our professor informed that we would be on the field, at different venues, at a minimum of 10 hours per day. our travel and field work will involve travel by locomotive transports, walking, trekking, and even swimming (as a part of our relaxation of course).
Lectures and presentations would be presented on different sites, and when we are back on the bus, our classes are basically going to be on the bus!
I have been on several travels, but this is going to be perhaps THE BIG ONE!
So if GoPro is designed to "record the moment you experience", you can kind of get a picture of how many of those moments I am most probably going to experience.
are there higher SD storage capacities? and will they work on the GoPro hero 5 black?
how many 128 GB sd cards and batteries would I need, to have enough space to record for a day (minimum 12 hours)?
so you can see that I am really going to see if the GoPro, given its upgrades, and limitations somewhat mitigated, can really deliver, and give a run for my money.
Please let me know! I sincerely appreciate your time and efforts to help the public make a sound purchase!
Actually, I have a post specifically addressing that. File sizes between HERO4 and HERO5 are basically the same in most cases. If you use the Protune audio options the extra WAV files will take up a bit more space. Fast 128GB, 200GB, and 256GB cards work just fine. You might also find this post useful on using a GoPro as an everyday camera.
you wrote that both (Black and Session) are offering GPS data, are you sure that this is correct? GoPro themself isn't listing this as a Hero 5 Session feature.
Thanks for the correction. You're right--no GPS on HERO5 Session. I've fixed above.


text:
Q: Writing to two variables atomically if a condition is satisfied I have the following class that is going to be used by multiple threads:
public class Container

    private volatile Date date;
    private int amount;
    private final Object lock = new Object();

    public void update(int amount){
        int actualAmount;
        if(check(date)){
              //do some BULK computation to compute the actualAmount
             synchronized(lock){
                 date = new Date();
                 this.amount = actualAmount;
             }
        }
    }

    private boolean check(Date date){
        synchronized(lock){
          //reading from the date and returning true if the date is expired
        }
    }
}

But I'm not sure about the correctness. First, I declared the Date field as volatile to observe changes while performing the condition checking. But it may happen that while doing bulk computation, the second thread tried to perform update causing the data-races.
I don't want to put the BULK computation into the synchronized block, because it includes calling a couple of alien methods and prevents JVM from doing optimization.
Performing the bulk computation twice is not going to do harm to the data strctures, but wasting processor's time.
How should I handle this in a more efficient way?

A: When bulk computation is finished and another thread has changed amount during that then we have no choice but to recompute amount (rerun this bulk operation), do we?
    public void update(int amount) {
    int actualAmount;
    if (check(date)){
          //do some BULK computation to compute the actualAmount
         synchronized(lock) {
            if (check(date)) {
                 date = new Date();
                 this.amount = actualAmount;
            } else {
                update(amount);
            }
         }
    }
}

Isn't it a waste of CPU time when two threads perform this bulk operation and one of them should rerun it again?
It may be more efficient to accumulate this update(amount) and when some thread need to read correct amount then recalculate it (run bulk operation).
What thread is going to read this amout? Does it need the latest information?
Knowing the answers may help to design better solution.
Update 1.
BTW, this recursive recalculation may be required over and over. So the most correct way would be to wrap the entire update() body into synchronized statement.

A: Something like this:
public class Container

    private Date date;
    private int amount;
    private final Object lock = new Object();

    public void update(int amount){
        int actualAmount;
        Date oldDate;
        // Loop until no one call update() during our computations
        for(oldDate = checkDate(); oldDate != null; oldDate = checkDate()){
            //do some BULK computation to compute the actualAmount
            synchronized(lock){
                if(date == oldDate){
                    // No one update data inbetween
                    date = new Date();
                    this.amount = actualAmount;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    /* Return this.date if it is expired or null otherwise */
    private Date checkDate(void){
        synchronized(lock){
          // Check .date and return appropriate value
        }
    }
}

Here we store value of .date if it is expired. Such way we can check, whether someone have updated data while we perform BULK computations. If he have, we repeat data checking and computations.
If you have to take lock in checkDate(), then no needs to declare .date as volatile. If you capable to check date without locking, you probably (depending from actual algorithm) should revert volatile modifier.
Note, that if you expect that update() may be called very intensively, so it has high probability that data will be updated during BULK computations, you need to break loop at some point and perform these computations under the lock: performance hit is bad, but starvation is worse.

Over the past few years, I've been using SmartOS as my hypervisor of choice coupled with a management layer called Project-Fifo. I have to say, it's been a joy to work with.
I had a couple Alix APU's laying around and was curious how well SmartOS would run it.
To begin, I downloaded the SmartOS USB image and pushed onto a USB drive.
Now, we can plug the USB drive into the USB port of our APU then power it up. Be sure to plug in your serial cable first so you can see what's going on.
Soon as you see the GRUB boot menu, press 'c' enter the below to switch the console output to ttya from vga. Then hit enter.
And eventually this. You can now follow along and configure your new SmartMachine.
After networking is all configured, you'll be prompted to layout a zpool on your disk (hopefully you have an m-sata installed).
Now, just hit enter and be sure to remove the USB drive so SmartOS will boot from the m-sata drive. Eventually, you'll be presented with the login screen like the below where you can login as root using the password you provided during setup.
Define the zone config and use vmadm to create it and login!
Cool! A fully functioning Debian 9 container. Let's setup wordpress and run a load test for funsies.

← The Hitchhiker's Guide to Hitchhikers & the Circus of Flying Seeds!
Daoism is a Chinese philosophy whose title could be broken down to mean, "Way of the Way". "Tao" is Chinese for road, path, course, or Way (as it is most commonly translated in this context), and "ism" simply means "such a way of doing." Primitivism, for example, could be taken to mean, "in the way of the primitive." Likewise, Daoism could easily be explained as meaning, "Way of the Way," "Course of the Course," or "Path of the Path." Unlike practically all intellectual, political, religious, or ideological currents produced since the beginning of history, Daoism in its truest sense does not depend on any ideas whatsoever. This isn't because Daoists are a bunch of rambling idiots, but because an idea implies a state of consciousness in which one is trying to sort things out, get things right, and arrive at some conclusion. These things are, quite hilariously, of absolutely no use to Daoism.
Rather Daoism, as its way of understanding, observes what Lao Tzu referred to as "the uncarved block," or the course of nature unobstructed by the human intellect. Ram Das quite appropriately observed in Grist for the Mill that while living in civilization we are quite literally living within the human intellect. By usurping the culturally conditioned mind through simplicity, passion, and reverence of natural harmony, Taoists at once seek to liberate the mind back into the stream of nature, and liberate nature by disavowing the authority of the conditioned mind.
In the course of nature, always referred to on a cosmic scale by Taoists as Tao, the Way, there is no trace of the discriminatory hallmarks of the human intellect. There is no right or wrong in the hooves of a deer. There is no progress or regression in the eyes of the mountains. And the clouds never fuss over "beginning" or "end." The eagle is blameless in snatching a jackrabbit, a flower does not fuss over the shape of its roots but works into the dirt where it can, and a tree that scatters seeds lives on in its children and its ancestors without a thought of death. Thus, we arrive at the Chinese tradition of the "Way of the Way," a deeply passionate spiritual philosophy which really has nothing to say, because the truth transcends the intellectual stranglehold of words. That is, thunderstorms have no praxis or theory, and they do no algebra to justify an arc of lightning. The sun doesn't go through pains to remain a perfect 360 degrees. It is their absolutely uncontrived nature which makes them immediately inseparable from the entire cosmos, and by reflective analogy it is the civilized reliance on contrivance through the artifice of culture, intellect, and technology, which makes us so separate from it. Lao Tzu wrote in the Tao te Ching, "Those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know." But by that logic, one might rightfully wonder why is there any tradition of Taoism at all?
The Taoists are one of many groups who have tried to covet the unbroken thread which connects a human with the rest of the cosmos, the thread which civilized life tries so desperately to cut and bury beneath layers of ego, fear, and artifice. Some have called this thread, "The web which has no weaver." Call it Eternity, YHWH, the Atman, call it anything, the whole trick of the thing is to get beyond the trap of words, to liberate ourselves from cultural conditioning to see how things really are. This generally only happens in a time of deep existential crisis, where the fundamental foundations of our indoctrination are shaken by questions like, "What is going on here?" "Why do things have to be so miserable?" and "How do I fit into this mess?" The intrinsic compassion, autonomy, and spirituality of an individual will without fail break the cages of cultural conditioning when such quintessential questions are posed, just as on a macrocosmic scale the earth will not fail to make it clear that the physical infrastructure of civilization is untenable, unsustainable, and, in short, doomed to failure.
The first line in the Tao te Ching, the most important text in Taoism, is "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name which can be named is not the eternal name." To name something, to try to intellectually identify it, is to put a chink in the uncarved block, to put a shoe on the unshod horse, to domesticate the eternal wilderness of the mind. And the entire project of Taoism is to regain and retain the natural wholeness which comes when the pretense and prejudice of the intellect is dropped, thus returning humanity to the natural order.
The Taoists were perhaps the earliest harbingers of the many ills of advancing civilization, foreseeing its inevitable pitfalls centuries ago, including climate change and the police state. My intention in the following installments is to provide key texts that ring of anti-civ theory and provide helpful analysis that could further our understanding of the nature of civilization and the wild, and how we might best return the world, for the benefit of all beings, to the timeless Way, the uncarved block.

(cartoony loudspeaker voice) Introducing ... the incredible ... the greatest ... ADRIENNE DUNNING!
Adrienne Dunning is simply a Southern gal who has fun playing poorly at golf when she's not crafting novels. She loves all forms of expression—writing, dancing, cooking, talking—and does them frequently and with abandon. She creates endearing and feisty characters full of humor and just a little awkwardness to keep them "real". Although a possible mystery series is under current exploration, her current works are primarily aligned with the contemporary romance/chick lit genres. She is heavily active in her local NaNoWriMo chapter, and Seeking Solace, her debut novel which released in April 2015, is the resulting product of a NaNo project. Her second novel, a paranormal/contemporary romance titled Revolution, released October 1st.
What's the most important lesson you ever learned from a cartoon? From Wile E. Coyote--- never give up. No matter how many times you get smashed by that ACME anvil, get right back up and try again.
Your life is being made into a movie. Who plays you? Who plays your love interest? (or who plays your arch-enemy?) Good question! I have no idea who would play me! Melissa McCarthy? Love interest-- if this were true biography, then there isn't one, unfortunately. If this is a biography with fictional elements which included a love interest for me... then David Tennant.
You receive a contract that allows you to have any pet you want (mythical or real) but in return you have to spend a week AS a pet to a mythical creature of your choice (dragon, giant, sphinx?). Do you take it or do you decline? I'd take it I think.... I'd want to have a Phoenix, and I'd want to BE a pet for a unicorn. Dragons are awesome, but I don't think I'd survive having one or being one's pet!
Would you rather travel to the past or the future? Absolutely the past. Don't even have to think about that one! I love history and would give anything to actually witness it.
Who wrote the book of love? Is this a trick question?
For the length of the day, you can replace all the world's water with one substance of your choice (don't worry. The sea life will adapt.). What do you choose? Lime jello! Why? It's jiggly! The world would be jiggly! That, and it would freak my friend Kathy out since she firmly believes that jello is an alien lifeform.
Sum up your life in five words and two punctuation marks. Live in joy. Dance! Laugh!
Congratulations! You are now president of this blog post. What's your first executive order? First order--all followers receive baskets of chocolate. Because chocolate is awesome.
If this question were any question in the world, what question would you want it to be and how would you answer it? Q: What's for dinner? and A: You pick this time!

Heidi Latsky Dance is a New York-based modern dance company comprised of dancers with and without disabilities'. A central part of their mission is to work with performers with unique attributes to create passionate and provocative contemporary dance performances that redefine beauty and skill through the use of discourse and practice. Apothetae Theater is giving apresentation of 'Good Dancer'. The theater is dedicated to bringing disability into the theatrical mainstream by producing full-length plays about the disabled experience. The Moth, MothSHOP storytelling workshop at the JCC, Manhattan.Cinemability isa documentary film that critically discusses how mainstream media has shaped conceptions of disability over the years. It asks important questions like, do media portrayals of disability impact social attitudes about people with disabilities?If so, what can the media do to broaden and diversify perceptions about disability in ways that encourage inclusion? Is it that filmmakers have a responsibility to use an actor with a disability to portray a character with a disability? Click on the link to catch the film trailer. The Commute isa short film about the public transport experience of a NYC wheelchair user. Click the link to view the film.
I can't stress enough how important the ReelAbilities initiative is. The mainstream media, we know has a strong hand in shaping and influencing how we think about so many things. Disability is not excluded from this. The media seldom portray people with disabilities as empowered, leading independent fulfilling lives. The subject of disability has been and continues to be primarily represented as either a tragedy or a fete of heroism. Real people with disabilities are not often used to play film and TV characters of people with disabilities. Physically disabled bodies are absent from the mainstream imaginary of physical beauty because the ideal gender physique is always 'able-bodied'. This way of representing (or not representing) disability reinforces a limited, negative and often inaccurate idea of what it means to have a disability that reproduces the social marginality of people with disabilities. In the words of festival director Anita Altman, the mission of ReelAbilities is to bring the face of the other, who is too often absent from our daily interactions, into view through the medium of creative arts.
A full schedule of films and events and how to obtain tickets can be found on the ReelAbilities NYC website.
ReelAbilities is a national program run in other cities like Boston, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta and D.C. to name a few. For more information about upcoming festival schedules, how to support the program or get involved as a volunteer, performer or filmmaker, check out the website main page.

Vector, a Tucson, Ariz.-based micro satellite launch company, raised $21M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from Shasta Ventures and Lightspeed.
The company, which has raised $31m in total funding, intends to use the funds to accelerate upcoming flight test series and launch orbital customer missions in early 2018.
Led by Jim Cantrell, CEO and co-founder, Vector is a space access company that connects space startups and innovators with reliable launch services. This investment follows Vector's flight test of the full-scale prototype Vector-R launch vehicle in May.
Next launch is planned for Summer 2017. In addition to flight test launch activities, the company plans to develop its first GalacticSky satellites and a rocket factory in Pima County, Arizona. Vector will open a new office later this summer to support GalacticSky in downtown San Jose. The Silicon Valley headquarters will focus on developing the first software defined satellites, including developer tools and a purpose-built satellite application operating system for entrepreneurs.
This office will also support GalacticSky's partnership with Citrix to bring virtualization technology to micro satellites.

The Cutest Party Name Tags That Anyone Can Make - Design. Create. Cultivate.
Being a guest at a party can be a little intimidating when you don't know everyone. And the truth is that seems to be almost always the case. It's a cool thought—mixing friends from different seasons of life, as well as family members—but if you're not the one hosting, chatting it up with strangers can be overwhelming.
That's why I'm a huge fan of name tags. Seems a little cheesy maybe, but when you're a bridesmaid trying to ask Aunt Lucy if she'd like a glass of champagne, it's nice to know her name.
I'm also terrible at remembering names, so even after someone has introduced themselves to me, it's nice to know I can glance at a name tag when I strike up a conversation again.
If only we could find a way to make putting name tags on foreheads socially acceptable, I would seriously rock small talk at parties 😝.
So yeah, in finding that name tags can be game changers, I went on a mission to create party name tags that were modern, versatile and easy to make. And here is the result!
It only takes three items to make and a couple minutes to put together.
01. Remove the adhesive backing from the magnet and stick onto the back of wood piece. Gently press to seal.
02. On the front side of the wood piece, place stickers to spell out guest names.
03. Repeat for all guests!
It's hard to tell from the photos, but the light letters aren't as difficult to read as they seem.
Also, if you don't want to use letters stickers, or would like guests to make name tags themselves, you could leave out pens next to blank name tags ☺.
I love the use of magnets because they don't poke holes in clothes and are so easy to remove and reapply. Sometimes I find that sticker name tags get stuck in my long hair and fall off mid party 🙃.
So I have to know, are you a fan of name tags at parties??
