A Day in Disney's Animal Kingdom: A Complete Guide to Adventure and AweArriving early is one of the best ways to experience Animal Kingdom. As you walk across the bridge from the Oasis toward the Tree of Life, the park begins to reveal itself slowly. Birds call from hidden perches, foliage rustles, and the elaborate carvings on the Tree of Life seem to come alive in the morning light.If you plan to experience the attractions in Pandora, heading directly there is wise. The Wait time for Avatar Flight of Passage is shortest in the morning and gives you a breathtaking ride through the landscapes of Pandora. For a gentler but equally beautiful experience, Na'vi River Journey offers a serene boat ride through bioluminescent forests.Once the initial rush settles, the park becomes a haven for exploration. The Kilimanjaro Safaris ride is a must. It is one of the rare theme park experiences where no two rides are the same, thanks to the movement and moods of the animals. Morning to late morning is a great window, as many animals are active before the heat of the day.Exploring the walking trails, such as the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail or the Maharajah Jungle Trek, brings a quieter appreciation of the park. These trails allow you to move at your own pace, read interpretive displays, and spend time watching animals in habitats that feel remarkably open and natural.If you are hungry, Animal Kingdom has some of Disney's best food options. Satu'li Canteen offers customizable bowls that are fresh and flavorful, while Flame Tree Barbecue delivers hearty classics with scenic seating by the water.By afternoon, it is time for some excitement. Expedition Everest is the park's signature roller coaster, blending speed, storytelling, and one infamous guardian of the mountain. Even if you do not usually seek out thrill rides, Everest has a unique charm that comes from its details and immersive queue.Nearby, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond provides a beautifully staged musical break inside a cool, dark theater. For an even deeper dive into nature and culture, Festival of the Lion King remains one of Disney's most celebrated live productions, offering breathtaking vocals, acrobatics, and choreography inspired by the film.If heat or crowds rise, this is a great time to pause with a cold drink or take a slow walk through Discovery Island, stopping to look at the often-overlooked animal exhibits surrounding the Tree of Life.As sunset approaches, the park transforms. Pandora's glowing plants begin to pulse with color, and the atmosphere shifts from lively to enchanting. This is a perfect time to walk the pathways between the floating mountains, taking in the sounds and details that are easy to miss during the day.Dinner options like Tiffins or Yak and Yeti offer relaxing, flavorful meals to close out your exploration. Afterward, enjoy a final walk past the softly lit Tree of Life. The nighttime awakenings, featuring projection shows with animal themes, are subtle but magical, offering a reflective end to the day.A day in Animal Kingdom is not just about rides or shows but about stepping into a world that celebrates exploration, conservation, and imagination. It offers a pace unlike any other Disney park, encouraging you to slow down, observe, and connect with the stories and animals around you. Whether this is your first visit or your tenth, the park always finds new ways to surprise and inspire.

MNMT Recordings : Hewan Aman — Kune Festival 2025 “KUNE was one of my favorite festival experiences this summer. It was an absolute honor to be invited, especially for a set surrounded by fellow story tellers and music selectors I deeply admire. Wild and generous location, giving so much space to move at your own rhythm. I felt connected to the beautiful community that gathers there and held by the presence of the sea, which was like a constant anchor. The curation stood out. Long sets, excellent sound, beautifully designed stages, and this subtle intensity I keep finding in Denmark. I learned about Yndelov ~ a kind of quiet code that encourages not thinking you're better than anyone, even when doing something exceptional. I found that spirit present in the way the festival was curated and lived ~ generous, grounded, and without ego. My set took place between 3 and 6am, in the belly of the Vessel stage, a concrete bunker. The sun rose halfway through ~ I didn't see it directly, but witnessing it light up people's faces as they danced was equally moving. Squeezed in between Peachlyfe's dreamy vibe, and Lund & Ronde goblin psy ride I really couldn't be happier. Big love and thanks to the KUNE family. Really happy to be sharing the recording.” Hewan Aman is a DJ, sound explorer and artist whose sets move between deep bass, atmospheric layers and emotionally-charged rhythms. Drawing from dub, trance, breaks and experimental club music, she plays with contrasts ~ shadow and light, softness and impact ~ creating space for both introspection and collective release. Captured live from the concrete belly of the Vessel stage, this set chronicles Hewan Aman's masterful three-hour navigation from the depths of night into the first light of dawn at Kune Festival. The journey begins in shadow, moving through darker, psychedelic territories, with the mix evolving as the sun begins to rise, skillfully evolving and giving way to an ascendant wave of deeper, euphoric, trancey luminosity.

La novena edición del Festival de las Flores convirtió a la ciudad histórica de Antigua Guatemala en un jardín monumental, con instalaciones florales de hasta 10 metros que atrajeron a cerca de un millón de visitantes ansiosos por contemplar color, aroma y arte efímero. Un reportaje de Diana Fuentes, corresponsal de RFI en Guatemala. En Antigua Guatemala, Patrimonio Cultural de la UNESCO situado en el departamento de Sacatepéquez, las creaciones florales que adornaban estructuras de metal, madera y bambú alcanzaron alturas impresionantes de entre 3 y 10 metros, envolviendo cada rincón de la ciudad colonial en un arte efímero. "Ahorita ya estamos a punto de culminar nuestra novena edición; vamos rumbo a 10 años de este festival", dice a RFI Andrea Contreras, fundadora del Festival de las Flores. Además de convertirse en un jardín, este año el Festival tiene como objetivo resaltar la creación artística. "El Festival está dedicado a todos los artistas que han roto el molde. En esta ocasión es la fiesta de los artistas. Quisimos poner la mirada en el talento de nuestros artistas locales, entre ellos escritores, bailarines y pintores, no solo los locales, sino también los internacionales", explica Contreras. Importante fuente de ingresos "Es la única temporada del año en que se ve florecer a Antigua. El ambiente es muy alegre", dice uno de los visitantes. El Festival convoca anualmente a casi un millón de turistas, lo que satura hoteles, restaurantes y calles, pero también genera importantes ganancias para el país. "Yo he venido todos los años desde el primer Festival de las Flores. Antigua Guatemala es mágica: se pone uno feliz y ya no quiere irse. Pero hay una cierta hora del día, aquí en la Calle del Arco, en que ya no se puede ni siquiera pasar", comenta una mujer. Por eso, una visitante que ha acudido varias veces recomienda "venir tempranito para poder disfrutar más las cosas, mirar todo con calma y pasear un poco más por todas las áreas". Van Gogh y la Mona Lisa, fuentes de inspiración En cuanto a las fuentes de inspiración, la florista Catherine Morales, creadora de una de las obras de arte que participa en el concurso del Festival, cuenta: "Nos inspiramos en Van Gogh, la Mona Lisa y las pinturas más famosas del mundo. Empezamos a trabajar desde hace una semana. Aquí traemos el vinilo y las pinturas. Hay que prepararlo todo para luego venir a armarlo aquí. Así es más fácil. Armarlo toma aproximadamente una semana, aunque la idea viene ya de algunos meses". Otro eje de esta novena edición es la protección de la naturaleza. Por eso, Andrea Contreras resalta: "Ahorita estamos apuntando a mucho más con un festival más verde. Desde el año pasado estamos recolectando todas las flores que se utilizan en el Festival para llevarlas luego al compostaje. De esta manera volvemos a retribuir a la tierra".

How England Celebrated Accession Day Like a National Holiday   Every year on 17th November, England erupted in bells, bonfires, and jousting tournaments, all to celebrate Queen Elizabeth I's Accession Day. It wasn't just royal pageantry,  it was faith, theatre, and politics rolled into one. Knights broke lances before the Queen, the people burned effigies of the Pope, and Elizabeth became “England's Deborah,” the saviour of Protestant England. Discover how one day in 1558 became the biggest celebration in Tudor England, and how it lived on for centuries after the Virgin Queen's death. Listen now to uncover the story behind England's greatest royal festival. #ElizabethI #TudorHistory #AccessionDay #Gloriana #TudorEngland #History

la tempesta minacciava di rovinare la festa.En: People looked at each other worriedly; the storm threatened to ruin the festival.It: "Spostiamo tutto nel salone comunale!"En: "Let's move everything to the community hall!"It: gridò Lidia.En: shouted Lidia.It: Marco la seguì, incoraggiando gli altri.En: Marco followed her, encouraging the others.It: "Venite tutti!En: "Everyone come!It: Insieme non ci fermiamo!"En: Together we don't stop!"It: La comunità si mosse velocemente, trasportando i prodotti e le decorazioni all'interno.En: The community moved quickly, carrying the products and decorations inside.It: Col tempo, il salone si riempì di calore e risate, e la festa continuò.En: Over time, the hall filled with warmth and laughter, and the festival continued.It: Lidia e Marco posizionarono al centro i loro nuovi cesti intrecciati con rami d'olivo.En: Lidia and Marco placed their new baskets woven with olive branches at the center.It: I villaggi, sorpresi, si avvicinarono per ammirare il lavoro.En: The villagers, surprised, approached to admire the work.It: "Che bella collaborazione!"En: "What a beautiful collaboration!"It: disse una signora anziana, osservando con interesse.En: said an elderly lady, observing with interest.It: Altri seguirono il suo esempio, comprando cestini e provando l'olio d'oliva, lodando Lidia e Marco per il loro spirito di iniziativa.En: Others followed her lead, buying baskets and trying the olive oil, praising Lidia and Marco for their initiative.It: A fine giornata, Lidia si sentiva orgogliosa delle sue radici.En: At the end of the day, Lidia felt proud of her roots.It: Marco, invece, trovò sostegno nella comunità che aveva accolto il suo amore per la terra.En: Marco, on the other hand, found support in the community that had embraced his love for the land.It: La tempesta era passata, e il futuro sembrava già più luminoso.En: The storm had passed, and the future already seemed brighter.It: Con la piazza che tornava al silenzio, Lidia e Marco sorrisero, sapendo di aver vinto la loro sfida.En: As the square returned to silence, Lidia and Marco smiled, knowing they had won their challenge.It: Il villaggio adottava il cambiamento con un cuore più aperto e loro due trovavano la posizione che gli spettava, nel rispetto delle tradizioni ricreate insieme.En: The village embraced change with a more open heart, and the two of them found their rightful place, in respect of the traditions recreated together.

It's been a while," came Takeshi's voice.Ja: 人ごみの中、リナの胸が躍った。En: Among the crowd, Lina's heart leaped.Ja: タケシは、祭りの広場を案内しながら話し続けた。En: Takeshi continued talking while guiding her through the festival plaza.Ja: 「ここ、変わってないね！」と、リナは懐かしそうに呟いた。En: "It hasn't changed here, has it?"

In this episode of the No Film School podcast, GG Hawkins and Ryan Koo dig into the often‑murky world of film release strategy and distribution from multiple angles—and then sit down with acclaimed filmmaker Ruben Fleischer to trace his path from indie start to big‑budget studio productions. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins, Ryan Koo, and guest Ruben Fleischer discuss… GG's journey with her micro‑budget feature I Really Love My Husband: festival strategy, light theatrical run, and streaming rollout The importance of marketing and audience‑building even for indie films (“the extra 50% of effort after picture‑lock”) Festival submission strategy: premium “buyer's festivals” vs regional festivals, world‑premiere constraints, and timing decisions Tools and tactics: creating trailer/sizzle assets, leveraging sales & festival reps, doing the reference‑check on distributors Real‑world rejection: extracting learning from “pass” notes and small deals, how to choose between flashy name vs partner who will work for you The one‑to‑one interview with Ruben Fleischer: his early career, moving from shorts/commmercials to features, how he handles large‑scale shoots, visualising scenes, leading big crews, and navigating reshoots Ruben's key pieces of advice for emerging filmmakers: making things now, learning by doing, honing your craft by continuing to create A bonus deep‑dive into how even locked‑picture films still require a lot of narrative strategy, deliverables, and business savvy in order to land distribution Memorable Quotes: “If you are going to bend over backwards, invest all this time, energy, and effort into making a film, but you're not going to do the same for getting the word out there … you are setting yourself up for failure.” “Submitting to a film festival is like getting down on one knee and asking someone to marry you, but then you have to wait months for the response.” “I always go in with an intention of how I would imagine blocking the scene… but I'm also very flexible in working with actors.” “The only real way to direct stuff is to go out and do it.” Guests: Ruben Fleischer Resources: Shoot in Three Months – No Film School Filmmaker's Guide to SXSW – No Film School A First‑Timer's Guide to the Cannes Film Festival – No Film School Microbudget Filmmaker Podcast – No Film School Why Indie Film Distribution Is About to Go Punk Rock – No Film School Where to watch I Really Love My Husband: Apple TV: I Really Love My Husband Amazon: I Really Love My Husband Google Play: I Really Love My Husband Where to watch Amateur (Ryan's first feature): Netflix Ryan's podcast series First Feature – a case study about the making of Amateur: SoundCloud – No Film School Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School (https://nofilmschool.com/) Facebook: No Film School on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool) Twitter: No Film School on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nofilmschool) YouTube: No Film School on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool) Instagram: No Film School on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool)  

The Festival of Hungry Ghosts is upon us – and today on Script Apart, we're betting it all on black. Ballad Of A Small Player is the casino-set new drama from director Edward Berger and writer Rowan Joffe, adapted from the novel of the same name by author Lawrence Osborne. It follows Colin Farrell as a character who introduces himself as Lord Boyle – an aristocratic charmer, who we soon come to learn is seriously, existentially adrift amid the slot machines and baccarat tables of Macau's gambling houses. As Boyle's true self – and name – is revealed, we tumble with him down a neon-splashed, teal-and-red rabbit hole of addiction and emptiness. And it was this emptiness I was particularly eager to discuss when I sat down recently with Edward and Rowan, across two separate conversations. Rowan is the creator of the TV show Tin Star, and the writer of films like 28 Weeks Later and Before I Go To Sleep, which he also directed. He's also, as tells me in this conversation, a recovering alcoholic, sober for many years. Edward, meanwhile – well, if you've followed the Oscars and indeed this show over the last few years, Edward needs little introduction. Conclave, his 2024 drama about the election of a new pope, and All Quiet On The Western Front, his 2022 Best International Picture-winning war epic, have seen him rocket to modern cinema's top table in terms of respected auteurs.In the midst of that success, though, Edward has described finding himself plagued by an empty feeling. And in this episode, he tells me how that informed this latest story. We get into the curiosity that drives his storytelling and also clear up something I read long ago about Ed's love of rollerskating – and I also hear from Rowan about what it is that he thinks casinos represent in our culture; the capitalist tendencies they act as temples to.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In this episode, Jordan Corn and Marcus Cauchi dissect the deeply flawed traditional approach to employee performance evaluation, the "Annual Festival of Fiction". They challenge the idea that reviews serve their intended purpose and share actionable frameworks for leaders to build continuous growth systems, rather than just checking boxes. Key Themes for Leaders and Managers 1. The Broken System: Checking Boxes vs. Driving Growth Traditional performance reviews are often theatre: they replace truth with formality and create anxiety instead of growth. When managers simply mark a three on a scale to avoid justification, they are "checking a box". The problem is systemic: reviews often exist as a paper trail for pay decisions and compliance, not for meaningful reflection or planning. Some reflection is better than none, but if the process isn't valuable or valued, it won't change much. 2. Relationships Come First Effective performance management starts with the manager-employee relationship. Reviews fail if the manager is a bully, a micromanager, or insecure. Psychological Safety and Vulnerability: Managers must earn the right to tell the truth by showing vulnerability, asking where staff need help and seeking their advice. Bidirectional Feedback: Feedback should flow in all directions. Employees need to feel safe critiquing management, and managers must be willing to listen without defensiveness. 3. Frequency, Focus, and Continuous Improvement Waiting a year is too long. Annual reviews without ongoing feedback are "like washing once a year". Real performance management is continuous, like adjusting a plane mid-flight. Agile Coaching: Regular micro check-ins: monthly 15–30 minutes or daily three-minute updates keep everyone aligned. Focus on Strengths: Lean into what people do well. Reviews should energise, not dwell on weaknesses. Separate Compensation: Tying pay to reviews is "absolutely inane" and undermines their value. 4. Systemic Issues: Hiring and Alignment Problems often start at recruitment. High turnover results from compromise, or searching for mythical “purple unicorns,” creating systems built to reject rather than select the right fit. Self-Awareness: Reviews can become "behavioral reviews," helping employees understand how they show up and how others respond. Preparation Over Ambush: Managers should prime employees a week in advance and encourage reflection from both sides. The goal is to synchronise reality, not sanitise it. Final Takeaway If you can't run a review rooted in honesty, psychological safety, and growth - or if you limit them to once a year - Jordan Corn says, "throw the whole thing out". Instead, leaders should redesign the process around the human being first, then fill in whatever is required for compliance. For teams stuck in the "Festival of Fiction," Marcus shares systemic models to "model and scale human judgment" and even measure trust as a hard metric, helping embed learning, dignity, and accountability into management practices.   Connect with Jordan on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-corn/ Connect with Marcus https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcuscauchi/ And if you'd like to be a guest contact me https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannecauchi/

In today's passage, Jesus feeds 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish. Those who received this free meal begin looking for Jesus, not because of the sign itself but because of what they can get out of it. Here, Jesus begins teaching strange things, saying that his disciples must eat his flesh and drink blood, and after hearing this, many abandon Jesus. Later, during the Festival of Shelters, Jesus goes to Judea to preach and teach even though some of the Jews were trying to kill him. The crowd is divided about whether or not he is the Messiah. When Jesus calls God his Father and says “before Abraham was, I am.” they pick up stones to kill him.John 6 - 1:07 . John 7 - 12:12 . John 8 - 19:58 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
