Best Online Travel Shows — Vancouver TRAVEL EDITOR’S NOTE I’m optimistic once we are again allowed to travel we’re going to see a tourism boom not seen since the 1960s. Until then, be safe and avoid any unnecessary travel. For those looking to travel vicariously (or seeking to plan your next trip once we have a new normal), we asked freelancer Jay Gentile to update his list of the best travel shows to binge watch. I’d also like to thank those who have shared their travel stories and postcards — I’ll share them with our readers when I can.

  • Kids Today Are a New Breed. the Information Technology Revolution Has Transformed Their Lives and Offers Massive Potential for Their Education and Entertainment
    Kids today are a new breed. The information technology revolution has transformed their lives and offers massive potential for their education and entertainment. Creativity, adaptability and emotional intelligence are the key skills they require. We need teachers who can nurture their voracious appetites for learning for this century. We need a responsive industry with innovative thinkers designing content, both for and with them. Kids are seeking projects that inspire, but they are a tough audience to capture. This essay describes examples from around the world of producers coming to grips with new technology and new ways of storytelling for children, building on their acute interest in learning from screen content. As the Australian Government is considering new television content regulations, this essay argues for a new approach to the development of wide-ranging innovative media projects for children’s entertainment and education. ‘Patricia Edgar has seen the landscape of children’s media change over the past 50 years. In this essay she strikes a remarkable balance of appreciation for history and clear-eyed and optimistic views of the changing nature of digital media and children’s use of those media today and in the future. How smart this is: she argues for early and consistent media education, creative and innovative production of gaming, educationally purposeful and commercially successful media products for youth, and attention to media productions that offer a variety of diverse stories, characters and formats. Moreover, she argues persuasively that youth need to be involved in these productions. She recognizes the importance of online safety and the role media play in preparing youth for citizenship and work-life.’ – Professor Ellen Wartella, Al-Thani, Professor of Communication, Director, Center on Media and Human Development, Northwestern University, USA ‘In this compact essay Patricia Edgar charts the ways forward for children’s media.

    GREG DAVIES UNITES TOP COMICS FOR A BENEFIT GIG AT LONDON’S EVENTIM APOLLO IN RESPONSE TO THE REFUGEE CRISIS On Wednesday 11th November, top names from the comedy world are coming together to help raise funds for charities - ActionAid and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Stand Up in Action - the one off comedy benefit night at London’s Eventim Apollo, will see a host of stars perform in aid of the current overwhelming global refugee crisis - the largest since the Second World War. The evening, hosted by GREG DAVIES (The Inbetweeners, Man Down, Channel 4), will include performances from fellow comics JO BRAND (Getting On, BBC One, Bake Off, An Extra Slice, BBC Two), ROISIN CONATY (Man Down, Channel 4, Impractical Jokers, BBC Three), RUSSELL HOWARD (Russell Howard’s Good News, BBC Two), REGINALD D HUNTER (multiple Perrier nominee, Reginald D Hunter's Songs of the South, BBC Two), DARA O’BRIAIN (Mock The Week, BBC Two) and JACK WHITEHALL (Fresh Meat, Channel 4, Bad Education, BBC Three) to name a few. All proceeds from the gig will be equally split between ActionAid and UNHCR to provide much needed support and assistance to refugees. ActionAid works with some of the world’s poorest women and children. They have been working with Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon since 2013, supporting over 90,000 people in the region and providing them with essential items such as clothing, hygiene items, torches, first aid kits as well as longer term support working with refugees in local communities. With the increase of migration to Europe, the island of Lesbos is often the first stop in Europe for many.

  • @Tomcolicchio + @Gailsimmons Talk Food and Temple Court in New Downtown Alliance Video
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Elizabeth Lutz, 212.835.2763, [email protected] @TomColicchio + @GailSimmons Talk Food and Temple Court in New Downtown Alliance Video NEW YORK (March 1, 2018) – Chef and Restaurateur Tom Colicchio sat down with fellow Top Chef judge Gail Simmons for an inside look at his restaurant Temple Court in the latest video from The Alliance for Downtown New York. Located in The Beekman Hotel, Temple Court has earned high marks for both Chef Colicchio's signature style and seasonal take on classic dishes as well as for the restaurant and bar's meticulously appointed decor. Here he tells us how the restaurant pays homage to the neighborhood's history. Watch the video at: http://twn.nyc/TempleCourt "A lot of what we do here at Temple Court starts with this idea of bringing back the classics and making them modern. It's all a metaphor for what's going on Downtown. What's old is new, what's new is old - it's all coming back again," notes Chef/Owner Colicchio. "Walking from the Oculus to Temple Court, you can literally visit the future and the past of Lower Manhattan within 15 minutes," adds Simmons. Temple Court was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Lower Manhattan and is part of the wave of established names and up-and-coming food stars joining the neighborhood's ranks. On the horizon, additional Lower Manhattan restaurant openings will include projects from: - Andrew Carmellini (The Dutch), - Jean-Georges Vongerichten (ABC Kitchen, Jean-Georges), - Daniel Humm and Will Guidara (Eleven Madison Park), - Danny Meyer (Gramercy Tavern), - David Chang (Momofuku) and - James Kent (Nomad).
