Global supergroup Swedish House Mafia have just announced that their long awaited debut full length Paradise Again is set for release April 15 via Republic Records, just before the trio head back to the desert for a landmark performance at this year’s Coachella Festival. In conjunction with the announcement, the band have shared a new single and accompanying music video for “Redlight,” an obsidian club banger featuring a stunning vocal performance by the legendary Sting, recreating one of the most classic refrains from his storied oeuvre. The new song was preceded by other album singles “It Gets Better,” “Lifetime (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & 070 Shake),” and their collaboration with pop auteur The Weeknd “Moth To a Flame.”

Details of the album release, initially teased in a cover story for Billboard Magazine last Summer, were announced earlier today via a cover story for SPIN in which the trio detail their history and the winding path that culminated into Paradise Again (read it here). The run up to the album has been riddled with highlights, including a special performance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, a landmark performance at the MTV VMAs pre-show, and their recent nomination for iHeartRadio’s Dance Artist of the Year (more info here) and the success of their “Sacrifice” single with The Weeknd.’

This Summer Swedish House Mafia will head out on an international tour produced by Live Nation, their first proper run since 2012. In addition to their special performances at Coachella, the 2022 jaunt includes arenas across the United States and Europe – full dates below.

G-SHOCK EXPANDS PINNACLE MR-G SERIES WITH NEW MODELS IN THE CLASSIC SQUARE SHAPE OF THE FIRST EVER G-SHOCK

Premium Timepieces Feature 25 Individually Polished Components Assembled Precisely for a Timepiece that Showcases Craftsmanship

Casio introduces the newest additions to its pinnacle G-SHOCK MR-G lineup with the launch of the MRGB5000 series. With the new models, the MRGB5000D-1 and MRGB5000B-1, the trademark square shape of the original G-SHOCK DW5000 is elevated to provide shock resistance with the addition of premium materials and the artisan craftsmanship and quality that the MR-G series represents. The enhanced bezel and case have been constructed of 25 individual components with Sallaz polishing applied to each part prior to assembly, giving the watches a stunning, elegant finish.

The new MRGB5000 models pay homage to the original G-SHOCK, DW5000C, by retaining the iconic brick pattern and red outline of the original G-SHOCK dial design. The MRGB5000B-1 is crafted with a DLC coating on the case and band to deliver enhanced wear resistance and a sleek, all-black look that pays tribute to G-SHOCK’s signature brand color. Gold-colored ion plating on the buttons and screw-lock case back evoke the refinement of the MR-G series as well. The silver-colored MRGB5000D-1 is made with a titanium carbide finish to enhance the beauty of its bezel and band.

The bezels of the new timepieces are made from premium materials, such as COBARION, a cobalt-chrome alloy that is four times harder than titanium and is part of a 25-piece Multi-Guard Structure, specifically developed for the MRGB5000, to protect the module with superior shock-absorption by incorporating flat springs and resin buffers between the components of the watch. Additionally, Ti64 is used for the case and the band employs DAT55G, a titanium alloy about three times harder than pure titanium to further enhance the absolute toughness of the models.

In addition, the MRGB5000D-1 and MRGB5000B-1 boast premium G-SHOCK technical features including Bluetooth® functionality that allows the watch to be connected to a smartphone via the CASIO Watches app, MULTIBAND 6 Atomic Timekeeping, Tough Solar Charging, Super LED illumination, and more.

As part of the release, G-SHOCK has unveiled an exclusive collection page taking consumers through the features, which can be viewed HERE.

The new timepieces also come equipped with G-SHOCK technology including:

  • Shock Resistance
  • 200M Water Resistance
  • Sapphire Crystal
  • LED (Super LED)
  • 1 Sec. Timer (24Hr)
  • 5 Daily Alarms
  • Full Auto Calendar
  • World Time (39 Cities)

The MRGB5000D-1 will retail for $3,500 and the MRGB5000B-1 will retail for $4,000. Both models will be available for purchase this March at select G-SHOCK retailers, the G-SHOCK Soho Store and gshock.com.

What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down

Leave a reply

Breaking down is many people’s worst nightmare and it can completely ruin your day. Having to pull your car over to the side of the road and wait in the rain for help is not what you expect to be doing when you set off on your journey.

Aside from being an unenjoyable and embarrassing experience, a breakdown can be costly, whether you have a fuel-based or electric vehicle. If it has been caused by an underlying issue in your car, you could end up spending hundreds getting it fixed.

If your vehicle has never broken down before, you might have no idea how to deal with it. But knowing what to do when your car breaks down can save you a lot of time if and when it happens.

Here are some top tips on what you should do in the event of a breakdown.

Move Your Car to the Side of the Road

Whether you’re driving on a main road, side road, or motorway, your priority must be to get your car out of the road. Put your hazard lights on and move your vehicle to the side of the road or the hard shoulder.

Once your car is safely out of the way of other vehicles, everybody should vacate the car. If you’re traveling with animals, keep them safe in the car.

It’s not always possible to push your vehicle onto the hard shoulder if you’re driving on the motorway. If this is the case, stay in the car with your seatbelt fastened, put your hazard lights on, and call the emergency services.

Call Your Breakdown Provider

Many people try and wave down a passing car in the hopes that the driver will be able to help. Many people carry a pair of vehicle boosting cables in their cars that can be used to jump-start other vehicles.

However, it isn’t always possible to flag somebody down. Even if you do, there’s no guaranteeing that they will have the right equipment to get your car started again.

If you have a breakdown provider, now is the time to call them. You will need the details of your vehicle and your location. If you aren’t sure where you are, try to find significant landmarks that you can point out to the person on the phone.

Once you have called your breakdown provider, sit and wait. Don’t try to repair anything or move your car elsewhere. You have to be patient and stay put!

If you don’t have a mobile phone with you, try and walk to the nearest emergency phone. These will be clearly defined and they should be placed at regular intervals along the highway.

Your breakdown provider may take 30 minutes or they may take several hours to reach you. When they arrive, they will l fix your car by the side of the road and help you to get going.

If you’re returning to a busy motorway, you’ll need to build up your speed on the hard shoulder so that you can safely merge back in with the oncoming traffic.

ADIDAS X IVY PARK – IVY HEART

Leave a reply

THE CAPSULE COLLECTION, INSPIRED BY LOVE JUST IN TIME FOR VALENTINE’S DAY, GETS TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER IN REDS, PINKS AND NEUTRALS, WITH BOLD LOOKS IN INCLUSIVE SIZES AND FOOTWEAR FOR EVERYONE.

adidas and IVY PARK CEO Beyoncé announce IVY HEART, a new capsule collection inspired by love, just in time for Valentine’s Day, from the ongoing adidas x IVY PARK creative partnership.

As with previous adidas x IVY PARK offerings, this latest collection features distinct looks with inclusive and in gender-neutral sizing in fashion styles, performance gear, footwear, and accessories.  The line is available online at adidas.com on February 9th and February 10th in selection stores globally.

The Campaign

This cinematic campaign focuses on the guiding thematic color behind the collection. In the Western world, red is commonly associated with love, romance and sensuality. While in the East, red is attributed to good fortune and joy. Wherever you are, it’s clear that this color represents positivity. The concept is centered around bringing people together from all different backgrounds through this one color that’s sentimental to so many. This theme is illustrated through enhanced lighting, bold yet minimal production design, elevated styling and most importantly the international cast. Cultural cues from specific iconography and symbols are explored in visual motifs with sensitivity and intention. IVY PARK pays homage to various cultures inspired by this color, incorporating red through a futuristic yet authentic lens.

The campaign is led by a diverse cast of models, including actress and model Karrueche Tran, model and actor Tyson Beckford, singer/songwriter, actor Troye Sivan, model and actress Shu Pei and actress/comedian Naomi Watanabe.

The Collection

No matter how you define it, love – most importantly love of one’s self – is at the core of IVY PARK’s newest drop. Bold and sexy looks are an integral part of IVY HEART, which is aptly decked out in a spectrum of vibrant reds, playful pinks, and nuanced neutrals. In colors that include Candy Paint (Shock Pink), Lipstick Smudge (Red), Raspberry Beret (Power Red), Red, Red Whine (Cherry Wood) and Cheeks (Off-White), the line is punctuated by tactile materials like velour, ribbed knit, and faux latex.  IVY PARK’s latest collaboration with adidas is further complemented by performance fabrics and graphic prints, allowing ample designs to mix-and-match from work out to night out.

The capsule collection’s design touchpoints are rooted in Beyoncé’s love of athleticism and fashion, merged with adidas’ performance and innovation. The references culminate in a collection of silhouettes that are sporty, stylish, and above all, unique. Conceived around three pillars of foundation, active, and fashion, IVY PARK’s latest collection is highlighted by the Velour Dress and Tracksuit, Faux Latex Puffer, Pique Jumpsuit and Sequin Duster. Accessories include a 5-Panel Hat, a clutch and a Heart-Lip Belt Bag.

Footwear consists of both on-the-court and off-duty models.  The range is highlighted by a new iteration of the classic Stan Smith sneaker in Cheeks (Off-White), with a rubber dipped midsole.  Additionally, the collection introduces a new silhouette, the IVP Superstar Plim, a mule style shoe inspired by the iconic adidas Superstar in Cheeks (Off-White).  The line also features a new colorway of the IVP Savage sneaker in Cheeks (Off-White), a IVP swim slide in Lipstick Smudge (Red) and the Ultra boost in Candy Paint (Shock Pink).

Globally available on February 9 online and February 10 in select stores.

Is all entertainment online in modern times?

Leave a reply

The way in which we all receive, view, and enjoy entertainment has completely changed over the last couple of decades as technological advancements have seemingly made traditional methods appear to become outdated, old-fashioned, and even obsolete in some cases.

Indeed, when you think of the traditional forms of entertainment, some may begin to think about methods such as books, radio, and even traditional TV as many no longer watch it in the same way that they used to.

Let’s look at how technology has had an impact on entertainment in modern times and how it has changed it for the future.

The rise of online streaming

Perhaps one of the biggest changes to have been experienced in recent years is regarding the way that people watch TV, as many will now use streaming platforms to enjoy their favourite TV shows, series, and movies.

Streaming platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video are just a couple of those to exist, whilst platforms such as Apple TV+ has also started to emerge due to the continued evolution and changes in consumer attitudes and behaviours regarding the way in which TV is watched.

More and more people typically tend to have less time than before to watch live TV, therefore streaming platforms have become the main choice for many since they allow viewers to be able to watch what they want on-demand and on their own convenience.

Online gaming has improved

Gamers will have noticed that video games have been able to evolve just as much as the other traditional forms of entertainment in the modern era, as they are able to experience some of the ultimate gaming experiences that were not available to them just a few years ago.

Players can interact with each other via the use of headsets and microphones which will have had an immediate positive impact on the gaming experience, as there was once a time when this was simply impossible to do.

Interactive streams are now available

Many forms of traditional entertainment have become more interactive in the modern era, too, which is perhaps why older forms have started to decline and become rather disregarded by many.

Indeed, there are social platforms such as Twitch and YouTube that have allowed streamers to be able to interact with their audiences whilst games have started to become rather interactive too. As highlighted, many have improved in regard to communication aspects, but some have even become more interactive. For instance, blackjack and roulette games with a live dealer are amongst those to have benefited as players can communicate with another person and see everything that they are doing.

What is the reason for the decline of traditional entertainment forms?

There are a couple of different factors that could perhaps be suggested or be seen as drivers in the reason why traditional entertainment forms have gone on the decline.

As mentioned, technology is a huge factor, whilst there will be some that would perhaps suggest that the lack of convenience, they provide can also be an element. For instance, some would argue that books are outdated as people can now read them online or listen to them as an audiobook, whilst the radio has suffered because people are able to listen to the tracks, they want via music streaming platforms that also provide them with the opportunity to listen to several podcasts.

With audiences able to benefit from on-demand services and the technology to have been created over the last couple of decades, it is hardly a surprise that all forms of entertainment in modern times have gone online.

Will Online Casinos Dominate the iGaming Scene in 2022?

Leave a reply

Casino gaming is one of the biggest iGaming markets in the world and is set to enjoy a fantastic 2022. There are many reasons why online casinos are going to dominate the iGaming scene in 2021 and we will look at some those reasons in detail below.

We continue to see the introduction of new online casino regulations across the planet and that is great news for the online casino industry. Taking the United States as an example, new states are beginning to introduce legal online casino gaming for the first time in 2022. This brings the option of legal online casinos to millions of people and even if only a small minority of those people choose to use online casinos on a regular basis, it still means thousands of new people accessing online casino games. Germany and Netherlands are two European countries who have made online casinos legal recently and again, this is only going to add to the numbers of people playing online casino games. As countries begin to realise how many people are accessing offshore online casinos, they are choosing to act and introduce legal casino gaming. Nations can make money from online casinos by charging fees and tax, making it an attractive option for the government. We expect to see more states in the US passing legislation for online casinos to operate and this will only add to the number of people playing online casino games in 2022.

Betting on sports and eSports online is big business and an excellent product but neither can compete with online casinos in terms of fresh content. This is another reason online casinos will dominate the iGaming scene in 2022 and casinos introduce new games regularly. It is difficult for sportsbooks to create new ways to bet on sport and while new online games are developed for eSports, they do not come with the same regularity as online casino games. Online casino game developers are working hard around the clock to bring new and exciting games to players. Online slots are a good example of a casino gaming category that receives plenty of attention and new slot games are released every month. At Dunder online casino, you are sure to see new additions to the slots section of the website regularly and this is what keeps people coming back for more. 

One element of online casinos that continues to grow and improve is live casino gaming. There is a social element to eSports but only really for the players, who are communicating with each other during the game. For the person betting on the outcome of the game, it is a case of sitting back and watching the action unfold, like in-play sports betting. However, live casino games allow for interaction between the players and the dealer. Live casino games replicate the feeling of playing in a brick-and-mortar casino and they became extremely popular throughout 2020 and 2021. There is no reason, with continued innovation, why live casino gaming is not going to continue thriving in 2022 and beyond.

We are expecting to see the introduction of improved virtual reality casinos in 2022, which is extremely exciting. Virtual and augmented reality casinos allow you to ‘walk’ into a casino, look around, and choose the game you want to play. Although virtual reality casinos have yet to really take off, we expecting to see major improvements in the coming years. 2022 could see a breakthrough in virtual reality casino gaming and that is only going to add to the dominance of online casinos in the 2022 iGaming scene.

Beauty And Style On Pinterest: Ideas For Every Generation

Leave a reply

The idea that someone should or should not wear something or do something at a certain age is offensive. Authenticity and individuality are the hallmarks of fashion and beauty today. Pinterest is used by women of all ages to find inspiration, identify what works for them, and transform that inspiration into their real lives (and their wardrobes).

When we looked at the style and beauty searches that women of different generations made on Pinterest, we found out Pinterest account of the brand Sézane that we have more things in common than we think. Whether you’re young, old, or have a particular beauty preference, it’s clear that style and beauty trends are on the rise. We want to tell you in no uncertain terms: authenticity has no age. Don’t miss our “style board for all ages” (and everything else that we are going to tell you) to see it with your own eyes.

Style Begins With:

What do all ages have in common in terms of style? Fashion on the streets! The street wear trend will always be in style no matter what age you are (+245%), if you’ve passed the forty-year mark (+308%), or if you’re over fifty (+265%). Even though it isn’t the most searched for among women over 60, they still do the odd search for “fashionable sneakers,” at up to 316%.

Inspiration From Around The World:

Pinterest attracts people who are looking for trends and styles from around the world that fit with their lifestyles. “Modern style with a hijab” searches rise by 1745% among users in their twenties and thirties, “casual style with a hijab” searches increase by 244% among users in their forties, “Korean fashion trends” searches rise by 1075 percent and 934 percent, respectively, for the twenty and sixty year old generations and “Parisian chic” searches rise by 1745% among users in their forties. No matter how old you are or where you live, Pinterest is the best place to find inspiration, because billions of ideas come from all over the world.

If you see a product within a Pin, zoom in on it (or use the visual search crop icon) to see where it can be purchased or what similar products are available. Keep scrolling to see more inspired looks to complete your look.

Adorable And Sassy:

The number of searches for “artistic makeup” is up 106% and 142% in the respective age groups for women in their twenties and thirties. Pinterest is mainly used by women to get to know one another and express their personalities. A good way to do this is to use their face as a canvas. Meanwhile, women over sixty are seeking a natural makeup (+77%). On the other hand, women in their twenties are more likely to opt for a 1960s style, with (+59%) bold makeup. The older the woman, the more bold the makeup.

Makeup:

Women in their late thirties and forties search for “makeup videos” (up 131% and 150% respectively) and older women, who look up “eye makeup tutorials” (74% and 140% respectively). The results of these studies confirm that women of all ages look to Pinterest for makeup advice and to improve their looks… It’ll also boost their self-esteem!

Pro Tip From Pinterest:

We announced a new feature this week that will let you try on products using Pinterest Lens (augmented reality technology) using the Pinterest camera (Lens). By using this feature, you will be able to discover and try products before making a purchasing decision. You can purchase each lipstick by clicking on the pin and going straight to the retailer’s website. There is a version of Try it available in the United States and an international release is set for later this year.

Women aged ten to twenty prefer “braided ponytails” (+593%), women aged forty to fifty prefer “handkerchief hairstyles” (+204%), and men aged fifty to sixty prefer “shaved haircuts” (+237%).

NEW WELLNESS SAFARI RETREAT COMPANY MAKES SPLASH IN AFRICA

For years wellness influencers have taken their show on the road to beautiful settings in the Caribbean and United States, but now The Safari Retreat company is giving wellness travelers the chance to combine the serenity of Africa with the exhilaration of a safari for one of the most unique travel offerings available.

The Safari Retreat company is the premiere wellness retreat company in Africa. Founder Becky Robertson came up with the idea to bring retreats to Africa to take advantage of the almost mystical quality of the land. Robertson’s family has offered traditional safaris for more than 35 years.

“I grew up in the safari business and saw first-hand how Africa awed, inspired and changed our guests,” she said. “I thought there was no better setting to offer transformative wellness retreats. Our programs allow people to disconnect through nature and the wild to reconnect with themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.”

The Safari Retreats couldn’t be more timely as the Global Wellness Summit named adventure wellness travel as a Top 10 Trend for 2022.

The Safari Retreats are held at personally vetted mid-range and luxury safari lodges in the private and off the beaten track region of Laikipia. Lodges such as Lewa Wilderness, one of Kenya’s oldest and most private safari experiences, Borana Lodge and El Karama offer incrediable wildlife settings and experiences, with the chance to see the Big 5 at many locations. The Safari Retreat works with some of the top wellness influencers in the world to bring yoga, Pilates and mind/body retreats to Africa. The retreats blend the wellness programming with daily safari activities including; game drives, safari walks, horseback safari expeditions and camel rides. Each retreat includes all accommodations, meals, and transfers and travel within Africa.

For 2022 The Safari Retreat is pleased to offer the following retreats:

All Safari Retreats are designed to take people out of their comfort zones to allow them to have a-ha moments that truly change the way they think about themselves and their internal stories. Through adventure, slowing down and attuning to nature people are primed to have a transformational experience that goes far beyond simply traveling to Africa to view “The Big 5.”

About Safari Retreats

The Safari Retreat Company is Africa’s premiere choice for wellness safari travel. Working with personally vetted safari lodges in Kenya and East Africa, Safari Retreat Company combines the adventure of a traditional safari with wellness programming offered by the world’s top wellness influencers.

Wyoming Guest Ranch Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa Celebrates 100 Years of Adventurous Getaways

Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa is celebrating a milestone 100 years in July 2022, creating memorable vacations for guests at its stunning lakeside location deep in the Wyoming backcountry of the Shoshone National Forest since its construction in 1922 as a stopover for travelers to Yellowstone National Park. While the lodge has evolved over the past century, for decades it has provided an exclusive, all-inclusive resort experience, offering a rustic yet luxurious escape near Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole that combines Western pioneer-era charm with modern amenities.

The year was 1922: President Warren G. Harding spoke at the dedication of the newly commissioned Lincoln Memorial. Construction began on the original Yankee Stadium. The Girl Scouts started making their very first sugar cookies to sell door to door, and Prohibition trudged on. Meanwhile, the year also saw the creation of a much-needed stopover for travelers heading to Yellowstone National Park, a comfortable haven for outdoor adventure in a perfect mountain destination. The resulting Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa celebrates its centennial anniversary this July. Initially called the Two-Gwo-Tee Inn, the Shoshone word for “spear,” the 100-year-old lodge is nestled in the Rocky Mountain wilds of Wyoming adjacent to 300-acre alpine Brooks Lake. That ideal location quickly helped the original remote inn transform into a dude ranch and then into the luxury guest ranch and all-inclusive resort it is today.

“From the beginning, the mission of Brooks Lake Lodge has been to offer guests an out-of-this-world escape where they can engage with the outdoors in ways that allow them to relax and recharge,” says Brooks Lake Lodge General Manager Matthew Tousignant. “The fact that we are now delighted and grateful to celebrate 100 years of hospitality is testament to the continuing need for true immersion in the natural world, which is becoming increasingly difficult but more critical than ever before.”

Hidden away in Shoshone National Forest but within easy driving distance to Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park, and Jackson Hole, the 25-acre crowd-free property seamlessly blends its pioneer-era foundation with modern amenities. For instance, the main lodge, constructed in a record four months in a Western Craftsman architectural style in keeping with Yellowstone’s “Parkitecture,” has been carefully preserved. Décor details evoke the grandness of the time – magnificent stone hearths, antler, and wagon-wheel chandeliers, plush leather furniture, stained-glass windows – while simultaneously offering current-day comforts such as sink-into feather beds, state-of-the-art spa treatments, freshly prepared and locally sourced gourmet meals and free Wi-Fi.

The views from the property’s perch at 9,200 feet above sea level just one mile from the North American Continental Divide – and including the Pinnacle Buttes, Austin Peak and Brooks Mountain – could not be more jaw-dropping, inviting visitors into the surrounding natural playground for the range of outdoor adventure that is the hallmark of this all-inclusive getaway. The breathtaking setting with its majestic mountains and endless evergreens even compelled Bryant B. Brooks, the seventh governor of Wyoming and Brooks Lake’s namesake, to write in 1889 upon his discovery of the valley, “Among the fir and pine there glistened a lake … what a sight! I stood closer that day to nature’s heart than ever before.”

Summer and winter activities on the property and in the more than 2 million neighboring acres of pristine national forest and mountain-ringed farmland focus on connecting guests of all ages with the area’s natural abundance and include such authentic and immersive experiences as:

  • Horseback riding along trails and in the arena with experienced wranglers, as well as on glamping-style overnight pack trips complete with backcountry golf, hiking, and fishing; Hiking for all skill levels, from short nature trails to summitting an 11,000-foot peak;Year-round fishing for trout in Brooks Lake, complete with the chance for guests to have their catches brought back to the lodge to be cooked up for dinner; Canoeing around the stunning Brooks Lake; Archery lessons and target practice with expert instructors; Skiing and snowshoeing on miles of groomed trails or into the backcountry; Expert-guided wildlife excursions; Stargazing tours of the pristine Wyoming heavens; and Snowmobiling into the nearby forests, including 2 million acres of scenic terrain.

At day’s end, guests – who are treated to the highest level of service that can only come with a 1-to-1 staff-to-guest ratio – can enjoy a restorative treatment in the relaxing Rocky Mountain Spa, designed to replicate the National Historic Register of Places-designated main lodge and featuring a tranquility room, dry sauna, fitness center and 11-by-14-foot hot tub with incredible mountain views (spa treatments priced separately). They also can peruse the ever-expanding collection of Western fine art and sculpture before retreating to the handful of lodge rooms – individually decorated with handcrafted lodgepole pine furnishings and goose-down comforters – or private cabins sporting wood-burning stoves and inviting sitting areas, each ensuring a quiet and restful stay.

In addition, all guest meals are included: The chef serves hearty Western breakfasts every morning, filling lunches at noon and gourmet dinner nightly in the homey Great Hall, as well as Governor’s Tea with hors d’oeuvres for a pick-me-up in the cozy, fireplace-centered Tea Room. Meanwhile, the Cowboy Bar within the lodge serves up an extensive selection of spirits along with fun and casual nighttime entertainment, echoing the charming and wholesome atmosphere of a bygone era.

Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa will celebrate its centennial with a grand open-to-the-public party that will take place at the lodge on Saturday July 2, 2022 (check the Brooks Lake Lodge website for details; no overnight reservations are available for July 2).
