She previously held executive positions at companies like The Sports Clubs of Canada and Bally Total Fitness. "I was probably at the end of what I could do with that company, my proverbial glass ceiling," she said.

As interest in the pandemic waned, experts say some wellness influencers have latched on to climate change to galvanize followers. Patrick T. Fallon/AFP/Getty ImagesCécile Simmons, a trained yoga teacher, was surprised when many of the wellness accounts she followed started posting about climate change. Some wellness influencers are exposing young audiences to a slew of climate misinformation. Climate misinformation is having “a profound impact” both on people’s beliefs and on the normalization of fringe perspectives, Caulfield said. It’s particularly worrying as it allows climate misinformation to reach new audiences, experts say, including young people that might otherwise be supportive of climate change action.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A 65-year-old California fugitive who eluded authorities for nearly four decades before his arrest in June has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for killing a Florida woman. “Good luck,” the judge told Santini, who has been in jail without bond since his arrest in June at his home near San Diego. Before his arrest, Santini had lived in California under the name of Wellman Simmonds. Harmon said a woman who was in a relationship with Santini told investigators that he borrowed a van to go on the date. Santini told the woman the next morning that he’d killed Wood and dumped her body, Harmon said.

Filmele sale sunt caracterizate de prezența elementelor de suprarealism, expresionism, dar și a unui pesimism ironic, fiind totodată și unele dintre cele mai originale.

Multe dintre acestea au fost nominalizate la Premiile Oscar sau Globurile de Aur, dar singurul său trofeu Oscar personal a fost câștigat pentru efectele vizuale din filmul „2001: Odiseea spațială”.
