☆ ‘Revolver Special Edition’ Review: The Beatles’ Best
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Allan Kozinn | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Until about a decade ago, it was generally agreed that “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (1967) was the Beatles’ creative peak, with “Abbey Road” (1969) a close runner-up. But in recent years, “Revolver,” released in August 1966, has started to eclipse “Sgt. Pepper,” not only as a fan favorite, but also as the band’s most innovative album. The new “Revolver Special Edition,” released by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe on Oct. 28, makes a solid case for that reconsideration.

Polynesian scholars are pointing out “Lord of the Rings” productions have traditionally been filmed on their land, but with Pacific Islander actors relegated to the background. The new prequel on Amazon Prime did slightly better with representation, but experts stopped short of declaring it true progress. Na'puti pointed out that the Māori community experienced significant land loss, now holding just roughly 5% of all land there. McCartney also said that indigenous, Polynesian representation means incorporating the culture into the writing, given the Māori displacement in the country. And so if you’re on it, you have a responsibility.”Ultimately, Young questioned the necessity to continuously adapt the work of Tolkien, who wrote the “Lord of The Rings” series in the early 1900s.

It’s no surprise that nostalgia content has become so popular — as the age-old saying goes, everything old becomes new again. Nostalgia content feels authentic and plays to shared experiences, which helps it perform well with Gen Z and millennials alike, Karwowski said. In one video, Miller collaborated with the singer and 2000s heartthrob Jesse McCartney to promote his U.S. tour.

Mișcarea Veganuary a început în anul 2014 și de atunci a inspirat mai mult de 1 milion de oameni din 192 de țări să încerce să fie vegani pentru o lună și poate un pic mai mult. Organizația spune că lucrează intens cu afacerile pentru a face mai disponibile produsele vegane în magazine și restaurante și pentru a face veganismul mai vizibil. Existența lor este importantă pentru menținerea echilibrului în natură și a biodiversității. „Mișcarea Veganuary este o modalitate de a informa și a îndemna oamenii să își ajusteze meniul în luna ianuarie și să reducă produsele de origine animală din motive de sănătate, etice și de mediu. Reducerea consumerismul excesiv, conștientizarea, informarea corectă, grija față de corp și mediu vor avea un impact pozitiv de durată”, ne-a spus Nadejda Cebotari, specialistă de mediu în cadrul organizației Hai Moldova.
