Columbia Pictures/Everett CollectionDecades later, the dress has become a beloved artifact for nostalgic rom-com fans and modern fashion enthusiasts alike. “(Garner) put it on, we got her all dolled up, she went to dance, and we moved on,” she said. DeSanto also credits director Gary Winick, who died in 2011, for the film’s fashion sense. As DeSanto points out, “13 Going on 30” is a story about a young woman coming into herself — and how, more than anything, it’s important just to be yourself.

Read previewLate-night host Jimmy Kimmel said observing hygiene standards in Japan has drastically changed his perspective of cleanliness in the US, and joked that he's "never felt dirtier" in his home country. Kimmel said on Tuesday evening episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that before going to Japan on a seven-day family trip, he thought the US was "pretty buttoned-up" despite having areas for improvement. "But now, after traveling to Japan, I realize that this place, this USA we're always chanting about, is a filthy and disgusting country," he said. In 2019, a Japanese toll operator installed public toilets on the Central Nippon Expressway that could measure driver fatigue. Kimmel is one of tens of millions to recently visited Japan on holiday.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Relatives of Tyre Nichols, George Floyd and Eric Garner — three Black men killed in violent confrontations with police officers — expressed frustration Friday with politicians who have failed to pass police reform legislation or have worked to invalidate laws intended to reduce chances that citizens' encounters with police end in death. Philonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, told an audience at a police violence symposium in Memphis that the time has come for Congress to pass a federal law that would ban certain police tactics such as chokeholds and no-knock warrants. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, proposed after Floyd died in Minneapolis in May 2020 after a white police officer pressed his knee to his neck for more than nine minutes, was passed by the House in 2021, but the Senate failed to reach a consensus. “You need to know your politicians ... because these are people that are not applying pressure to help,” Floyd said. Nichols' parents said they are seeking to meet with Lee, who has never vetoed a bill.

☆ Charts suggest oil, natural gas and wheat could be due for a ‘boom,’ Jim Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( Krystal Hur | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday said that certain commodities could make a comeback soon. "The charts, as interpreted by Carley Garner, tell us that the boom and bust cycle in commodities never stops, and right now that's good news for oil, … natural gas and wheat prices," he said. Commodities markets were volatile last year as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, economic issues in the U.S. and China and adverse weather shook investor sentiment and diminished supply. Prices of oil, natural gas and wheat roared higher in the first half of the year but stabilized somewhat in the later half as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and pandemic-driven supply snags resolved. To explain Garner's analysis, Cramer examined the weekly chart of West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark for oil.

☆ Charts suggest it’s time to buy the dips in oil, Jim Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-13 | by ( Krystal Hur | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday advised investors to put cash to work in oil now that the sell-off is largely over. "The charts, as interpreted by Carley Garner, suggest that the oil speculators have been mostly wiped out, so it's time to buy the dips because she wouldn't be surprised at all if crude can rally another $20 from here," he said. Cramer said that Garner's prediction of a wash-out in oil prices is panning out and oil could head higher as China reopens its economy and the Biden administration looks to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve anytime prices dip below $70 a barrel. To explain Garner's analysis, he examined the weekly chart of West Texas Intermediate crude futures, the U.S. benchmark for oil.

☆ Charts suggest the ‘mother of all buying opportunities’ for oil is coming next month, Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Krystal Hur | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer said Tuesday that investors should gear up to buy oil next month, relying on charts analysis from Carley Garner. "She thinks there could be one last washout from this week, possibly early through December, and that washout could take crude down to the low $70s, or even the mid-$60s. Once we get there, she believes that could be the mother of all buying opportunities," he said. WTI crude futures settled at $80.95 a barrel on Tuesday. To explain Garner's analysis, Cramer first examined a chart of the seasonal pattern in WTI crude.

☆ Charts suggest the U.S. dollar could be peaking, Jim Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Krystal Hur | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday said that the spiking U.S. dollar could peak soon. "The strong dollar has become an albatross around the neck of an already beaten-down market, but now the charts, at last, as interpreted by Carley Garner, suggest the dollar could be peaking," he said. The value of the U.S. dollar has surged in recent months, driven by the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate raises and the hot U.S. economy. That's been a headwind to companies that conduct business largely overseas and are therefore subject to an unfavorable exchange rate. To explain Garner's analysis, Cramer examined the weekly chart of the dollar index going back to 2017.

LONDON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Sri Lankan writer Shehan Karunatilaka won the Booker Prize on Monday for his second novel "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida," about a dead war photographer on a mission in the afterlife. Set in 1990 Sri Lanka during the country's civil war, Karunatilaka's story follows gay war photographer and gambler Maali Almeida, who wakes up dead. This year's shortlist of Booker Prize contenders included British author Alan Garner's "Treacle Walker", Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo's "Glory", "Small Things Like These" by Irish writer Claire Keegan, U.S. author Percival Everett's "The Trees" and "Oh William!" "It is an entirely serious philosophical romp that takes the reader to 'the world's dark heart' - the murderous horrors of civil war Sri Lanka," MacGregor added. Past winners of the Booker Prize, which was first awarded in 1969, include Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie and Yann Martel.
