A couple of them did look like they had seen better days which I would not expect from this quality of hotel. The loungers around the pool are large and plush with built in head cushions. The water was heated to a pleasant but still refreshing temperature although some part were a little chilly on cooler days. Sitting by the pool sipping a tropical cocktail, whilst gazing out over the Ocean with the island of Molokai in the distance is definitely one of life’s great pleasures. Finally, there is the Beach club pool which was generally quieter and had lovely views of the Ocean. There are also several other pools such as the adults only sunset pool with its loungers set in the water and the infinity pool at the Spa. The main pool is set over many levels with waterfalls, rocks, bridges and jacuzzis. One of the main attractions of the Montage is its multitude of pools surrounded by lush tropical gardens. It’s 1 mile from the Dragon’s Teeth rock formations. The resort is set across 24-acre beachfront gardens. The Montage overlooks Namalu Bay and is a 4-minute walk from Kapalua Golf Club’s Bay Course. I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott which was comfortable, modern and reasonably priced. One option if you arrive late or after a long international flight is to stay at the airport which keeps the cost of your trip down. This also gives you the option to self cater as the hotel rooms are like an entire apartment with a full kitchen. It is a long drive from the airport at around 1 hour 20 minutes so I would recommend hiring a car as transfers can be incredibly expensive. Kapalua is nestled in one of Hawaii’s largest nature preserves and also has two world-class golf courses. The Montage is situated in Kapalua Resort which is a resort with plenty of facilities on Maui’s West coast. Also on the property are privately owned residences, which I will be buying one of if I win the lottery! Rest assured I do not pay anywhere near that rate! The Montage Kapalua Bay officially opened in June 2014 following a $15 million renovation and features 50 suites. The Montage Kapalua Bay on Maui has been named the world’s fifth-most-expensive hotel with room rates averaging $1,554 a night, according to. "For some guys, it's a sign of weakness," Ne-Yo reflects. The record was a risky move in a climate where most urban artists have a tough time letting their guards down at all, let alone admitting they've had their hearts crushed. I just had so much I wanted to say about that situation that I didn't get a chance to say. "It was just one of those situations where you take a deep breath and you just start. " a song I wrote about my first love," he shares. He signed to Def Jam Records shortly after, launching his own solo career with the hit single "So Sick", a raw, moving track about sleepless nights spent alone, trying–and failing–to get over a breakup. Just to really get a feel about where I think her head is right now, and what she should say." Then I was also looking in the tabloids and seeing what people were saying about her. When I was writing for Britney, I was talking to her people–people that talk to her every day–so I was getting information that way. You have to really look into what this person is about. So sometimes you have to depend on research. But I can't always afford the luxury of sitting down with an artist and speaking to them and trying to get in their head. On how writing songs for the stars is similar to music journalism: "It's exactly like this. The part of the story that they leave out is that she was being chased down the street by 16 guys with cameras”¦ It's like, wow, that's not fair. For example, the whole baby-dropping thing. On sticking up for Britney Spears after her head-shaving meltdown: "I feel that in a lot of instances Britney was being crucified for simple mistakes–mistakes that anybody would have made. I was listening to what he was saying, but the whole time in the back of my mind I'm like, 'Are you aware that you're on the phone with Michael Jackson? Can you even fathom that? You're talking to Michael Jackson right now!' It was crazy." On working on Michael Jackson's new album: "I actually spoke to him on the phone, which was such a surreal situation. Ne-Yo sounds off on the things enquiring minds want to know. I wasn't really happy with the state of radio at the time when that song came out. 1 on the Billboard charts–and held the spot for nine consecutive weeks–he knew his vision was viable. When Ne-Yo penned "Let Me Love You" for Mario in 2004, it was a departure from pop trends. The deal fell through eventually, but by then he had enough industry contacts to launch a songwriting career. In his teens, his buttery voice and natural songwriting talent landed him an artist deal at Columbia Records. I learned to listen not only to what a woman is saying but also to what a woman isn't saying." "It was mainly just me and a bunch of women," he says with a laugh, when he's reached by the Straight on the phone. He grew up the sole male in his household, raised by a single mother, a sister, and numerous female relatives. The Las Vegas native credits his upbringing for this understanding. Give us some smooth, tender vocals that make us feel genuinely appreciated, and we'll buy your album any day of the week. Females get that, and we aren't about to drop our hard-earned cash on some dude-running-bullshit game. Ne-Yo has built his success on a simple principle: most so-called ladies' men don't actually like women very much. As his peers spin tedious tales about drunken one-night stands, the silver-tongued singer isn't afraid to worship the fairer sex, probing the joy and heartache that come with intimacy. Since releasing his 2006 debut, In My Own Words, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter has steered R&B away from thugged-out playboy pillow talk and back to the art of adoring women. Justin Timberlake may have brought sexy back, but Ne-Yo is busy bringing love back–and it's about damn time. R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo isn’t too tough to admit that he’s had his heart crushed. In the Middle Ages, Mills argues, Orpheus is not a figure of failure primarily, but functions as a symbol of praiseworthy homosocial (and misogynistic) desire. Mobilizations of Orpheus often ignore his sodomitical tendencies and focus on the ambivalence of his backward gaze. Mills’s close reading of Orpheus in image and text troubles Heather Love’s ( Feeling Backward: Loss and the Politics of Queer History ) and Kaja Silverman’s ( Flesh of My Flesh ) mobilization of Orpheus as a symbol of, or model for, queer history, and so ought to be particularly interesting for historians of sexuality. Mills then compares Orpheus to Lot’s wife, as two symbols of moral backsliding. His loss of Eurydice leads Orpheus to turn toward men, causing Durer to label him as the “first sodomite.” In the Ovide moralisé, this turn toward men for pleasure is condemned but allegorically the move from the corrupt feminine to the rational masculine is figured as praiseworthy and pleasing to God. Orpheus’s glance back at Eurydice, which sends her back to hell, means that he is strongly associated with the pleasures and dangers of the gaze. He proposes that thinking through the lens of transgender draws attention to the implications of cross-gendered behaviors in medieval visualizations of sodomy.Ĭhapter 3 concentrates on the Orpheus myth and its various permutations in the Middle Ages. Reading Hildegard’s Scivias (Knowings) alongside the Ovide moralisé, Mills demonstrates the potential of transgender as a category of theoretical analysis “for interpreting certain medieval responses to the idea of unnatural sex” (p. Mills investigates the legibility and visibility of sodomitical vice in these texts: how and why do they depict “sodomites”?Ĭhapter 2 addresses the transgender possibilities of the myth of Iphis and Ianthe, and how these possibilities were embraced or avoided in medieval rewritings. Chapter 1 focuses on Bibles moralisées, which are Bible texts in which the moral sense is highlighted through annotation and illustrations. Within these parameters, Mills’s analysis extends from sculpture to manuscript illuminations, and poetry to anchoritic guidance texts. Seeing Sodomy in the Middle Ages focuses on high and late medieval England, France, and Italy, with occasional examples from the rest of medieval Europe. This kind of destabilizing analysis is typical of Mills’s impressive book, which combines theoretical insights with attentive close reading of texts, images, and material culture. Through a nuanced close reading of the medieval context, Mills argues instead that the attempt to associate Jerome with the fleshly bodies of women “would have been interpreted as an attack on Jerome’s chastity” (p. Jerome’s effeminate dress, in this reading, is a sign of his homosexuality. Mills notes that, despite attempts to uncouple sexuality and gender in some modes of political activism, to a “twenty-first century viewer, conditioned by long-standing associations between gender-variant behaviour and sexual dissidence, it may well look as though the gossiping monks are being covertly homophobic” (p.

I’ve had different advice from Adobe about this: that they don’t count and that they do count. What’s more, they don’t APPEAR, to count towards your cloud storage. These synced DNG files are not only ‘editable’ (and sync those edits back to Lightroom Classic), they are a lot smaller than the original files. You can edit, share, search and organize them in Lightroom CC just as if they were imported into Lightroom CC in the first place. In fact, if you launch Lightroom CC you will see all the images you synced from Classic in the Collections you created. They won’t be at the full resolution, but except for printing, the resolution you do get will be fine – especially for any on-screen display. Your mobile devices can display, edit and share images just as if they were in Lightroom CC. You do have to manually add images you want to sync to Collections, but once that’s done, it’s all kept up to date automatically. Lightroom Classic cannot sync your full-res files to the cloud in the way that Lightroom CC does, but it can sync smaller DNG versions in synchronised Collections. These images are all viewable and editable in Lightroom CC and its ecosystem, but synced from Lightroom Classic – the best of both worlds? (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World) 6. Lightroom CC locks you in to its little ecosystem in a way that doesn’t make sense… except perhaps in a very cynical way. So you CAN open an image in Photoshop from Lightroom CC and THEN launch the plug-in you need, but that seems a really clumsy way to go about things that takes twice as long and needs an additional application that gobbles up precious memory you might not have available. Lightroom CC does not support plug-ins and only talks to one external editor – Photoshop. Most come with plug-ins that you can launch from within Lightroom Classic, and for those that don’t (like Capture One) you can run them separately, export your processed images to the same folder structure used by your Lightroom catalog and then sync your folders or import the new images manually when you’re done. Lightroom Classic plays nicely with all of these. I also use Capture One, Exposure X, DxO PhotoLab and Nik Collection, ON1 Photo RAW, Luminar and more. It’s not just Adobe that makes great photo-editing software. Lightroom Classic works with them pretty well, Lightroom CC does not. There are lots of programs that are better at certain things than Lightroom, like DxO PhotoLab for noise reduction, for example. I’ve tried every way I can to work around this, but that just kills Lightroom CC for me. You can create multiple versions for an image, but it still only has one thumbnail, and you only see one version of that image when browsing. Lightroom CC now supports ‘versions’ but these are really just saved history snapshots and not the same thing at all. They seem to me one of the principal advantages of non-destructive editing tools like Lightroom – the ability to create multiple ‘versions’ of the same image with different processing treatments alongside each other. Others may disagree, but I can’t do without Virtual Copies. Both Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic offer an impressive set of non-destructive editing tools, and Lightroom CC does almost as much as the desktop version.īut it doesn’t offer Virtual Copies. So let’s switch tack to everyday editing. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World) 4. One image, four different versions (or as many as you like) side by side. **Actually, I've just noticed that Lightroom CC will "Store a copy of all originals at the specified location" if you check that box in the Preferences, so I have to take some of that back – but I assume all my 'edits' (adjustments) are still in the cloud.** But it doesn’t – so I think I’d rather keep my images on my desktop computer where I can organise and back them up myself, and very often load them a lot more quickly. If Lightroom CC offered desktop storage but ‘mirrored’ my library to its cloud servers, that would be fine. Of course, I can always keep my originals on my own computer, but then I’m maintaining two image libraries in two places and it’s all getting messy. But the bigger my image library gets, the more I stand to lose if something DOES happen – and the more its going to cost me in Adobe cloud storage later when 1TB is no longer enough. I trust Adobe with my images, I trust it to keep backups, I trust it to have zero or near-zero downtime. You can increase your local cache so that more are stored on your own computer, but that’s a workaround, not an alternative storage location. Lightroom CC takes over your storage so that all your images are in the cloud and not on your computer. Where my pictures are stored is an issue for me. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer my images here and not on a server somewhere in another part of the world.

✔️ Mineral active ingredients: Seek out naturally-derived actives made from minerals including zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which sit atop the skin to reflect sun's rays instead of absorbing them like chemical sunscreens. Other sunscreens shield only UVB, leaving you vulnerable to damaging UVA rays. ✔️ Broad-spectrum protection: One of the most important features to look for in any sunscreen is that it's labeled "broad-spectrum," meaning it "effectively blocks both UVA and UVB rays," Dr. Keep these points top of mind when seeking out the best natural or organic sunscreens, according to GH Beauty Lab scientists and dermatologists: Sunscreens are then thoroughly evaluated on consumer testers for both sun protection efficacy and cosmetic properties (texture, scent, application, look and feel of skin during wear and more) to find the formulas that perform above the rest, including those that are natural and organic. GH Beauty Lab scientists keep current regulations at the forefront when considering sunscreens for testing and in the most recent test, started by surveying 1,139 adults on their sun protection habits. The Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty, Health & Sustainability Lab regularly tests all types of body and face sunscreens on a range of skin types, tones and ages, from sunscreens for oily skin to sunscreens for sensitive skin, sunscreens for kids and babies, and more. The term "organic" on sunscreen product packaging implies that the product contains organically-produced ingredients, though the SPF active ingredients could be mineral or chemical and cannot be organic themselves because they are not derived from living matter. Hale, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City and senior vice president of The Skin Cancer Foundation. Mineral SPF formulas are gaining popularity because they're free of controversial chemical sunscreen active ingredients like oxybenzone, and because "in general, there's been a movement toward natural and organic skincare," says Elizabeth K. "Mineral sunscreens protect the skin by reflecting and scattering UVA and UVB radiation, and visible light," says Sara Hogan, M.D., a dermatologist at the Luxe Dermatology and Aesthetic Center in McLean, Virginia. "N atural" sunscreen usually refers to mineral SPFs, which use naturally-derived minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to block UV rays, as opposed to chemical formulas that absorb UV light and convert it to heat. When it comes to sunscreens, there are two main types: chemical and mineral. The tests also found several of the sunscreens are less effective than others at protecting against UVA rays.Ĭonsumer Reports did find seven to recommend, including two they named the best buys. Those are Equate Ultra Protection SPF 50 from Walmart for $9 and the spray Up & Up Sport SPF 50 from Target for $8.We carefully reviewed this article in March 2023 to ensure all products tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab were in stock, available and reflected accurate prices. But, two sunscreens were off by much more."īeyond Coastal Natural claimed an SPF of 30, but testers found it was below 15.īanana Boat Kids' SPF was also below 15, though it claimed SPF 50. "In some cases, we found the SPF was off by just a little. "We can't say why our test results differ from the manufacturers'," Kopf said. "Both types contribute to skin cancer."Įighteen of the 20 sunscreens tested came in below the SPF they promise on their packages, although except for two, they did provide adequate protection. "Broad spectrum means they should protect against two types of ultraviolet rays: UVB rays, which cause sunburn, and UVA rays, which are linked to skin aging," said Consumer Reports' Jamie Kopf. They tested 20 sprays and lotions that claim to be water-resistant and provide broad spectrum protection. Consumer Reports' tests of 20 sunscreens revealed you can't necessarily rely on the SPF listed on the label. Like most medicines used in healthcare, vaccines can have side effects, also known as adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs). What are the likely side effects from bivalent COVID-19 vaccines? The potential use of this vaccine in the national COVID-19 vaccination program is still to be determined, with the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) likely to provide advice to Government in the near future.

When administered, they produce antibodies that target the original Wuhan strain.īivalent (‘bi’ meaning ‘two’) refers to the number of antigens (i.e. The original COVID-19 vaccines – Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax and AstraZeneca – are monovalent vaccines (‘mono’ meaning ‘one’) and contain only the original Wuhan strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. What is a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine and how does it differ from original COVID-19 vaccines? With bivalent COVID-19 vaccines now in use in Australia and additional updated bivalent COVID-19 vaccines having recently been approved by regulators for future use, let’s take a look at the safety of bivalent COVID-19 vaccines and who should receive the vaccine. To counter this, bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccines have been developed that trigger an immune response against multiple COVID-19 variants to provide broader protection. While these vaccines are still highly effective in preventing severe disease associated with COVID-19, research has shown that the initial course of COVID-19 vaccination may provide more limited protection against symptomatic disease caused by the Omicron variant. The CDC recommends that everyone over the age of 12 top off their COVID protection with a bivalent booster shot this season, especially if it has been more than two months since their previous dose.What is a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine and how do the short-term side effects compare to the original COVID-19 booster vaccines?Īustralia has relied on a number of COVID-19 vaccines to successfully protect the population throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. You can get a COVID-19 booster and a flu shot at the same time That's not to be confused with vaccines that protect against the influenza virus, which are delivered in a separate shot each year. You might hear the shot called the "bivalent booster," as it fights not one but two versions of the virus (the original strain and omicron BA.4/5). While past iterations of the vaccines targeted the original virus that causes COVID-19, the new shots deliver a one-two punch to the "ancestral" strain as well as the latest variant.
