<p>This Friday, a new documentary 'Justice', helmed by filmmaker Doug Liman, looking&nbsp;into the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. The documentary raised questions about the depth of the FBI investigation into the high-profile case&nbsp;in 2018.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kavanaugh was sworn in as the 114th justice of the US Supreme Court in October 2018 after a narrow 50-48 roll call following a wrenching debate over sexual misconduct. He strenuously denied the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, who says he sexually assaulted her when they were teens. She appears mostly in the first several moments of 'Justice'.</p>

<p>The explosive doc was made under intense secrecy. It also highlighted the allegations made by Kavanaugh’s Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez. In a New Yorker article in 2018,&nbsp;Ramirez alleged that at a gathering with friends when she was a freshman in 1983, Kavanaugh pulled down his pants and thrust his penis at her. Kavanaugh has denied those claims.</p>

<p>'Justice' also had a taped recording of a tip given to the officials by another Yale classmate, Max Stier, that described&nbsp;a similar incident that the FBI never investigated.&nbsp;Stier, however, was not directly interviewed for the documentary and she declined the filmmaker's&nbsp;request to comment on its contents.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, a friend of Ramirez&nbsp;from Yale, who was interviewed for the documentary, provided text messages in which a mutual friend admits to being contacted by "Kavanaugh’s people".</p>

<p>In a Q&amp;A after the film, Liman was asked what he wants to happen when audiences see 'Justice'. In response, he said, "I kind of feel like the job ends with the film and what happens afterwards is beyond my control."</p>

<p>His producer Amy Hardy, who was standing beside Liman,&nbsp;said she disagreed. Hardy said she hopes it triggers outrage and leads to "a real investigation with subpoena powers".</p>

Secret documentary on Brett Kavanaugh's sexual assault allegations debuts at Sundance Film Festival

<p>Marlee Matlin, Jeremy O. Harris and Eliza Hittman exited the premiere of a film playing in competition at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday night after the closed captioning device failed to work.</p>

<p>Matlin, who is deaf, is serving on the jury alongside Harris and Hittman for films debuting in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the festival in Park City, Utah, this week. The jurors walked out collectively when they realized the situation, which happened during the premiere of “Magazine Dreams.” Variety first reported the news.</p>

<p>Joana Vicente, the CEO of the Sundance Institute, said in a statement to The Associated Press on Saturday that the closed captioning device, which relies on Wi-Fi, had been checked before the screening and was working, but malfunctioned nonetheless.</p>

<p>“Our team immediately worked with the devices in that venue to test them again for the next screening and the device worked without any malfunction,” Vicente said. “Our goal is to make all experiences (in person and online) as accessible as possible for all participants. Our accessibility efforts are, admittedly, always evolving and feedback helps drive it forward for the community as a whole.”</p>

<p>Accessibility at film festivals has been a major topic for years, and the incident once again spotlighted how organizers are trying to make changes to accommodate all fans. Vicente said her team has been working hard in that area, but acknowledged there is more to be learned.</p>

<p>“We are committed to improving experiences &amp; belonging for all festival attendees,” the statement read. “We consider accessibility as one of the primary drivers of institutional excellence and this work is done in partnership with film teams.”</p>

<p>Matlin did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Vicente said she and her fellow jurors would see “Magazine Dreams” in the coming days.</p>

<p>The Sundance Film Festival runs through Jan. 29.</p>

Jurors leave Sundance premiere over closed captioning glitch

<p>On Saturday, Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles III's coronation, which is scheduled for 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London, will feature a star-studded concert, nationwide coronation big lunch&nbsp;and volunteering initiative along with the traditional ceremony and royal processions that usually takes place.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The three days of ceremonial, celebratory and community events will be a chance for "people to come together in celebration of the historic occasion", Buckingham Palace said in a statement to give an update on its much-anticipated plans.</p>

<p>The coronation will be "a solemn religious service, as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry and it will reflect the Monarch's role today and look towards the future," the palace added.</p>

<p>Charles immediately took the throne as King after Queen Elizabeth died, aged 96, on September 8 last year, ending her record-breaking reign that lasted for 70 years.&nbsp;As the King, he also took over as head of state of 14 Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand.</p>

<p>Britain's first coronation since 1953 will be watched worldwide and&nbsp;various global dignitaries will be in attendance. It will begin with Charles' formal crowning at London's Westminster Abbey on May 6, in a tradition dating back more than 900 years.</p>

<p>The service will be conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and&nbsp;will reflect the monarchy's historic traditions alongside its modern role.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Charles' wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will also be crowned at the ceremony.</p>

<p>The pair will arrive from the palace without other royals in "The King's Procession", before returning in a larger ceremonial entourage known as "The Coronation Procession" featuring other family members.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Once back at the palace, the opening day will conclude with the royals appearing on the balcony overlooking The Mall where thousands of people are expected to gather.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Sunday, May 7,&nbsp; a "special coronation concert" will be staged at Windsor Castle. It will&nbsp;broadcast live on the BBC and will feature "global music icons and contemporary stars".</p>

<p>Tickets for the concert will be made available through a public ballot, while volunteers from charities supported by Charles and Camilla will also be able to attend.</p>

<p>The concert will feature a "world-class orchestra" playing interpretations of musical favourites "fronted by some of the world's biggest entertainers, alongside performers from the world of dance".&nbsp;</p>

<p>A "coronation choir", drawn from diverse community choirs and amateur singers nationwide, such as Refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups and deaf signing choirs, will also make an exclusive appearance.</p>

<p>A "virtual choir" made up of singers from across the Commonwealth will also perform, while the castle's East Lawn will host a selection of spoken word sequences delivered by stars of stage and screen.</p>

<p>But the centrepiece of the evening event will be a "lighting up the nation" segment which will see iconic locations across the UK lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations.</p>

<p>Also on May 7, neighbours and communities will be invited to host thousands of "coronation big lunches", billed as a "nationwide act of celebration and friendship".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"From a cup of tea with a neighbour to a street party, a coronation big lunch brings the celebrations to your neighbourhood," said the palace, which expects events in streets, gardens, parks and community spaces.<br />
The scheme will be overseen and organised by a team from the Eden Project, the eco-friendly visitor attraction in Cornwall, southwest England.</p>

<p>Camilla has been a patron of its annual "big lunch" initiative, which aims to boost community spirit, reduce loneliness and support charities and good causes, since 2013.</p>

<p>The final part of coronation weekend, dubbed "the big help out", will be held on Monday, May 8.</p>

<p>Organised by community forum The Together Coalition and partners including The Scouts, the Royal Voluntary Service and various faith groups, it will "highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities across the nation".&nbsp;</p>

<p>People will be encouraged to try volunteering for themselves and join initiatives in their local areas in a bid to create "a lasting volunteering legacy from the coronation weekend".</p>

On Saturday, Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles III's coronation, which is scheduled for 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London, will feature a star-studded concert, nationwide coronation big lunch and volunteering initiative along with the traditional ceremony and royal processions that usually takes place. The three days of ceremonial, celebratory and community events will be a chance for "people to come together in celebration of the historic occasion", Buckingham Palace said in a statement to give an update on its much-anticipated plans. The coronation will be "a solemn religious service, as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry and it will reflect the Monarch's role today and look towards the future," the palace added. Charles immediately took the throne as King after Queen Elizabeth died, aged 96, on September 8 last year, ending her record-breaking reign that lasted for 70 years. As the King, he also took over as head of state of 14 Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Britain's first coronation since 1953 will be watched worldwide and various global dignitaries will be in attendance. It will begin with Charles' formal crowning at London's Westminster Abbey on May 6, in a tradition dating back more than 900 years. The service will be conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and will reflect the monarchy's historic traditions alongside its modern role. Meanwhile, Charles' wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will also be crowned at the ceremony. The pair will arrive from the palace without other royals in "The King's Procession", before returning in a larger ceremonial entourage known as "The Coronation Procession" featuring other family members.

It will broadcast live on the BBC and will feature "global music icons and contemporary stars". Tickets for the concert will be made available through a public ballot, while volunteers from charities supported by Charles and Camilla will also be able to attend. The concert will feature a "world-class orchestra" playing interpretations of musical favourites "fronted by some of the world's biggest entertainers, alongside performers from the world of dance". A "coronation choir", drawn from diverse community choirs and amateur singers nationwide, such as Refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups and deaf signing choirs, will also make an exclusive appearance. A "virtual choir" made up of singers from across the Commonwealth will also perform, while the castle's East Lawn will host a selection of spoken word sequences delivered by stars of stage and screen. But the centrepiece of the evening event will be a "lighting up the nation" segment which will see iconic locations across the UK lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations.

"From a cup of tea with a neighbour to a street party, a coronation big lunch brings the celebrations to your neighbourhood," said the palace, which expects events in streets, gardens, parks and community spaces. The scheme will be overseen and organised by a team from the Eden Project, the eco-friendly visitor attraction in Cornwall, southwest England. Camilla has been a patron of its annual "big lunch" initiative, which aims to boost community spirit, reduce loneliness and support charities and good causes, since 2013. The final part of coronation weekend, dubbed "the big help out", will be held on Monday, May 8. Organised by community forum The Together Coalition and partners including The Scouts, the Royal Voluntary Service and various faith groups, it will "highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities across the nation". People will be encouraged to try volunteering for themselves and join initiatives in their local areas in a bid to create "a lasting volunteering legacy from the coronation weekend".

<p>If slow-paced, instrumental music isn't helping you fall asleep faster, try listening to 'Dynamite' by BTS, 'Lovely' by Billie Eilish and Khalid, 'Jealous' by Labrinth, 'Falling' by Harry Styles and 'The Scientist' by Coldplay. In a new study, scientists have found that these songs may be able to facilitate better shut-eye.</p>

<p>A team of researchers in&nbsp;Denmark found that there isn't a "one size fits all" genre of music&nbsp;people listen to fall asleep. "It was surprising to see how many different types of music people use for sleep," Kira Vibe Jespersen, an assistant professor at the Center for Music in the Brain at Aarhus University, told The Post via email.</p>

<p>"Not only different genres, but also different audio characteristics… ranging from slow, soothing instrumental tracks to more energetic uptempo pop music,"&nbsp;Jespersen added.</p>

<p>The authors of the study, published in the journal PLOS One, analysed more than 200,000 songs from a thousand Spotify playlists associated with sleep and found that people do use uptempo music to get a shut eye.</p>

<p>They identified six distinct sub-categories of music that people turn on when it’s time to get some sleep. Co-author Rebecca Jane Scarratt told a publication that three of these subcategories came under the ambient music category while the other three subcategories were louder and more energetic.</p>

<p>"These tracks included several popular songs, including ‘Dynamite’ by the band BTS, and ‘Lovely’ by Billie Eilish and Khalid,"&nbsp;Scarratt said. The authors also listed 'Falling' by Harry Styles,&nbsp;'Jealous' by Labrinth, and 'The Scientist' by Coldplay.</p>

BTS, Billie Eilish, Khalid's songs could help you sleep better than whale sounds, study finds

<p>Actress Rashmika Mandanna recently revealed that she will join the shooting schedule of&nbsp;the sequel of the 2021 blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise' next month. She still has some time to prep for her role and remember her dialogues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mandanna also revealed that Allu Arjun and other actors have started the film's shoot and are currently busy breathing life into their vision.</p>

<p>She said, "The boys have started shooting, and I'll be joining the shoot next month, so I'm really excited! And, the things that I'm hearing from the second half is (made the explosion sound). Really mind blown about how (director) Sukumar sir is coming up with these things, because if you watch the first half, you just feel like that is the story itself."</p>

<p>She further mentioned while talking on FC Front Row, "But the second part is something much more than the first part and you're like "wow, now that's something fabulous!"</p>

<p>"At the same time, I think all of us actors from Pushpa 1 have seen our work in the first half, and now we're much more clearer on what kind of a world we're living in. So I think all our performances are going to change. I think the performances are going to get more intense in the second half. And yeah guys, it's going to be amazing."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, her co-star Sidharth Malhotra spoke about the similarities being drawn between 'Mission Majnu' and the 2018 film 'Raazi'. The actor&nbsp;said, "I think it's never a bad thing when people are trying to use a reference point for a film, especially comparing it to a good film. Yes, the elements on the outer periphery of seeing a trailer might look similar, it is in the same decade, similar elements."</p>

<p>"But, I think the experience is completely different. It's only fair to speak to people once they see the film, the arcs...as I said, we're only trying to give the elements which you need to decide to click, in today's day and age, or to get engaged," he added.</p>

Major highlights of Paris Fashion Week Men's A/W 2023/24

<p>Dior provided the yin to Louis Vuitton's yang in Paris on Friday, with a serious and elegant response to its rival's flashy fashion week spectacle the day before.&nbsp;Dior and Louis Vuitton have both built giant hangars on either end of the Tuileries gardens that run through central Paris -- akin to the way their billionaire owners have built rival art museums on opposite sides of the city in the past decade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One point in common has been the presence of pop megastar J-Hope in the audience for both menswear shows, attracting hundreds of screaming girls to Concorde plaza for a few glimpses of their idol outside the Dior hangar.</p>

<p>But the two shows could hardly have been more different.&nbsp;While Vuitton's on Thursday was all primary colours and an elaborate set design, soundtracked by the thumping basslines of popstar Rosalia, Dior went with a starkly lit black runway and refined, sombre outfits, to the soaring music of German composer Max Richter performing with a small orchestra.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vast projections showed actors Robert Pattinson and Gwendoline Christie performing excerpts from TS Eliot's 'The Wasteland', lending a far more ominous tone to proceedings than much of the fashion week circus. &nbsp;</p>

<p>It was another giant of fashion history -- Yves Saint Laurent -- that provided the inspiration for the latest collection by Dior designer Kim Jones.</p>

<p>"It felt time to look beyond Mr Dior in the archive of the house to Mr Saint Laurent -– Mr Dior’s chosen heir and his successor after his sudden death," Jones told AFP ahead of the show. &nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is 65 years since his debut collection for Dior in January 1958, when he was only 21.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We wanted to look at that transition from one world to another through the clothing, from the old to the new, adapting pieces from the archive from the feminine to the masculine," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The looks included flowing trousers, long shorts and kilt-like skirts.</p>

<p>Some borrowed from classic Saint Laurent designs, built around the theme of water, such as his sailor tops transformed into a luxury version of a fisherman's smock.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There were also very modern touches, including 3D-printed shoes and boots.</p>

<p>"I think there is a new sense of ease in the collection, in a combination of the formal and informal in single garments," Jones said.</p>

It was another giant of fashion history -- Yves Saint Laurent -- that provided the inspiration for the latest collection by Dior designer Kim Jones. "It felt time to look beyond Mr Dior in the archive of the house to Mr Saint Laurent -– Mr Dior’s chosen heir and his successor after his sudden death," Jones told AFP ahead of the show. "It is 65 years since his debut collection for Dior in January 1958, when he was only 21. "We wanted to look at that transition from one world to another through the clothing, from the old to the new, adapting pieces from the archive from the feminine to the masculine," he added. The looks included flowing trousers, long shorts and kilt-like skirts. Some borrowed from classic Saint Laurent designs, built around the theme of water, such as his sailor tops transformed into a luxury version of a fisherman's smock. There were also very modern touches, including 3D-printed shoes and boots. "I think there is a new sense of ease in the collection, in a combination of the formal and informal in single garments," Jones said. WATCH WION LIVE HERE

<p>According to the National College Health Assessment, feelings of loneliness among college students have increased dramatically in the last 10 years since experts feel&nbsp;transitioning to a new environment, as many college freshmen do, increases feelings of loneliness, which leads to unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle.</p>

<p>With data from the Mason: Health Starts Here cohort study, Master of Nutrition alum Li Jiang found that loneliness was related to altered diet quality and physical inactivity. The research was done as part of Jiang's master's thesis, and Mason Nutrition and Food Studies Department Chair Lawrence J. Cheskin, Associate Professor Lilian de Jonge, former faculty member Cara Frankenfeld, and former postdoctoral fellow Ziaul H. Rana also contributed to the project.</p>

<p>"Our study supports a potential need for further research in understanding unhealthful dietary behaviour and physical activity which may be related to loneliness, an emotion that impacts many college students," said Jiang.</p>

<p>Sedentary (19.2 per cent) and low active (53.8 per cent) behaviours were more frequent in students reporting high loneliness (score ranges of 4-6 and 7-9) than those reporting low loneliness (score of 10-12).</p>

<p>Students reporting more loneliness had higher fat diets than students reporting less loneliness.</p>

<p>"Interventions to reduce loneliness may have a positive effect on health promotion in this population. This data goes along with other initial findings from the Health Starts Here study that college students are not meeting healthy dietary guidelines or getting enough physical activity," said Mason Nutrition and Food Studies Department Chair Lawrence J. Cheskin, who has an MD.&nbsp;</p>

Loneliness linked with unhealthful diets, physical inactivity among students: Study

<p>In his blockbuster film 'Kantara', Kannada actor and director Rishab went back to his roots in coastal Karnataka to share a story that unifies nature, humanity, and the divine in the form of Bhoota Kola festival. The movie, which has been dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, was inspired by the relationship shared between forests and human beings&nbsp;and took place over two centuries. It also gave a glimpse of the divinity of the boar-faced Panjurli daiva to the audience.</p>

<p>Since the action thriller went on to achieve sleeper hit status at the box office, Rishab Shetty attended Bhoota Kola festival to thank the daiva and seek the divine being's blessings. He was accompanied by Vijay Kirgandur, founder of the production house Hombale Films.</p>

<p>Hombale Films shared a video showing glimpses of the team as they sought the Daiva's blessings across social media platforms. In the caption, the team wrote, "You surrender to nature and worship God, who has bestowed you with such success and freedom in life. #Kantara team witnessed the divine in real form and took the blessings of Daiva!"

Kantara star Rishab Shetty attends Bhoota Kola festival to thank 'daiva' & witness divine in real form | VIDEO

<p>Best known as the hunky, sea-dwelling superhero 'Aquaman',&nbsp;actor Jason Momoa brought a stark and sober warning about the perils of deep-sea mining to the Sundance film festival on Friday. The Hawaiian-born A-lister narrates 'Deep Rising', a new documentary about the frenzied efforts by resource-hungry corporations to scrape valuable metals from vast swathes of the Pacific floor.</p>

<p>Supporters of deep-sea mining claim that pellets of nickel and cobalt -- used in electric car batteries -- can be conveniently scooped off the seabed, helping reduce our fossil fuel reliance.</p>

<p>But conservation groups and scientists fear this could devastate poorly understood marine systems that play a crucial role in regulating the climate, and some nations have called for bans.</p>

<p>"There are moments where I cried and got emotional" narrating the film, Momoa told AFP, before its world premiere at the festival in Utah.</p>

<p>"It's very important, to use your power for good. It's all the things I'm passionate about," added the actor, who took marine biology courses as a student, and is a UN Environment Program advocate for the oceans.</p>

<p>The documentary follows key players in the fledgling industry including The Metals Company, a Canadian group pushing to mine the Clarion Clipperton Zone -- a vast expanse of the seafloor near Hawaii.</p>

<p>The film goes behind the scenes as its chief executive Gerard Barron courts wealthy investors with promises that little harm will be done to "the most barren, desolate part of the planet," in contrast to the devastation that ongoing mining is causing rainforests.</p>

<p>But 'Deep Rising' director Matthieu Rytz told AFP that "we know so little" about the real risk to the deep ocean.</p>

<p>"Extraction on the seafloor, it's just a rush, because we don't have enough science to really understand what's happening there," he said.</p>

<p><strong>- 'The new oil' -</strong></p>

<p>Still, The Metals Company has said it expects to be mining 10 million tons of material from the ocean floor every year, starting in 2025.</p>

<p>And it is just one of about 20 research institutes or corporations that hold ocean exploration contracts, awaiting the go-ahead to begin commercial-scale mining.</p>

<p>Rytz's film argues that the energy crisis has no "silver bullet," and that the brewing race to harvest critical metals is not a solution but "the new oil," and could trigger future resource wars.</p>

<p>It shows meetings of the International Seabed Authority, described by Rytz as an "obscure room in Kingston, Jamaica" where delegates decide "the future of 65 per cent of the planet's surface."</p>

<p>"This is beyond national jurisdiction. It's the high seas," said Rytz."It belongs to all of us or none of us."</p>

<p>Rytz speaks in the film with scientists who argue that alternative clean, more abundant energy sources such as hydrogen should be explored for car engines, or that transport options such as high-speed rail should be expanded.</p>

<p>"We don't need these metals in the first place," he said. "The places we're going to be mining, it's total damage. There's no half damage. It's like clear-cutting a rainforest."</p>

<p>The onset of winter is often marked by Indian mothers buying and then forcing their kids to wear the so-called "monkey cap", which is a unique beanie-style cap that covers the head, ears, neck, and mouth and arguably makes one look quite unflattering. It's sold by local vendors at very cheap rates and is seen as a necessity for the winter season.</p>

<p>But, would you buy the same ski mask cap at a whopping price of over $392 from fashion house Dolce &amp; Gabanna? Since many would answer this question with a big "no", the luxury brand is getting brutally trolled by netizens for its accessory collection and its hefty price tag.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The chatter around the overpriced cap started when Swati Moitra posted a screenshot of what looks like a regular monkey cap priced at Rs 31,990 after a discount on Twitter. In the tweet, she wrote, "As a Bengali, I am horrified and vindicated." The tweet went viral on the platform in no time. It currently has over 370,000 views on the micro-blogging site.</p>
