Airports and highways are expected to be jam-packed during Thanksgiving week, a holiday period likely to end with another record day for air travel in the United States. AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday, most of them by car. However, travelers could be impacted by ongoing weather challenges and those flying to their destinations could be grounded by delays brought on by airline staffing shortages and an airport service workers strike . Here’s what we’re following today: Here’s the latest: “We cannot live on the wages that we are being paid,” ABM cabin cleaner Priscilla Hoyle said at a rally earlier Monday. “I can honestly say it’s hard every single day with my children, working a full-time job but having to look my kids in the eyes and sit there and say, ’I don’t know if we’re going to have a home today.’” Timothy Lowe II, a wheelchair attendant, said he has to figure out where to spend the night because he doesn’t make enough for a deposit on a home. “We just want to be able to have everything that’s a necessity paid for by the job that hired us to do a great job so they can make billions,” he said. ABM said it is “committed to addressing concerns swiftly” and that there are avenues for employees to communicate issues, including a national hotline and a “general open door policy for managers at our worksite.” Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. They described living paycheck to paycheck while performing jobs that keep planes running on schedule. Most of them earn $12.50 to $19 an hour, union officials said. Rev. Glencie Rhedrick of Charlotte Clergy Coalition for Justice said those workers should make $22 to $25 an hour. The strike is expected to last 24 hours. Several hundred workers participated in the work stoppage. Forty-four fights have been canceled today and nearly 1,900 were delayed by midday on the East Coast, according to FlightAware . Related Articles According to the organization’s cheekily named MiseryMap , San Francisco International Airport is having the most hiccups right now, with 53 delays and three cancellations between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. EST. While that might sound like a lot of delays, they might not be so bad compared to last Friday when the airport suffered 671 delays and 69 cancellations. In an apparent effort to reduce the headaches caused by airport line cutting, American Airlines has rolled out boarding technology that alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group. This new software won’t accept a boarding pass before the group it’s assigned to is called, so customers who get to the gate prematurely will be asked to go back and wait their turn. As of Wednesday, the airline announced, the technology is now being used in more than 100 U.S. airports that American flies out of. The official expansion arrives after successful tests in three of these locations — Albuquerque International Sunport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Tucson International Airport. ▶ Read more about American Airlines’ new boarding technology Travel can be stressful in the best of times. Now add in the high-level anxiety that seems to be baked into every holiday season and it’s clear travelers could use some help calming frazzled nerves. Here are a few ways to make your holiday journey a little less stressful: ▶ Read more tips about staying grounded during holiday travel Thanksgiving Day takes place late this year, with the fourth Thursday of November falling on Nov. 28. That shortens the traditional shopping season and changes the rhythm of holiday travel. With more time before the holiday , people tend to spread out their outbound travel over more days, but everyone returns at the same time, said Andrew Watterson, the chief operating officer of Southwest Airlines . “A late Thanksgiving leads to a big crush at the end,” Watterson said. “The Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving are usually very busy with Thanksgiving this late.” Airlines did a relatively good job of handling holiday crowds last year, when the weather was mild in most of the country. Fewer than 400 U.S. flights were canceled during Thanksgiving week in 2023 — about one out of every 450 flights. So far in 2024, airlines have canceled about 1.3% of all flights. Drivers should know that Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons will be the worst times to travel by car, but it should be smooth sailing on freeways come Thanksgiving Day, according to transportation analytics company INRIX. On the return home, the best travel times for motorists are before 1 p.m. on Sunday, and before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on Monday, the company said. In metropolitan areas like Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Washington, “traffic is expected to be more than double what it typically is on a normal day,” INRIX transportation analyst Bob Pishue said. Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker said last week that he expects his agency to use special measures at some facilities to deal with an ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers. In the past, those facilities have included airports in New York City and Florida. “If we are short on staff, we will slow traffic as needed to keep the system safe,” Whitaker said. The FAA has long struggled with a shortage of controllers that airline officials expect will last for years, despite the agency’s lofty hiring goals. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving travel across the U.S. Workers who clean airplanes, remove trash and help with wheelchairs at Charlotte’s airport, one of the nation’s busiest, went on strike Monday to demand higher wages. The Service Employees International Union announced the strike in a statement early Monday, saying the workers would demand “an end to poverty wages and respect on the job during the holiday travel season.” The strike was expected to last 24 hours, said union spokesperson Sean Keady. Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. The two companies contract with American, one of the world’s biggest carriers, to provide services such as cleaning airplane interiors, removing trash and escorting passengers in wheelchairs. ▶ Read more about the Charlotte airport workers’ strike Parts of the Midwest and East Coast can expect to see heavy rain into Thanksgiving, and there’s potential for snow in Northeastern states. A storm last week brought rain to New York and New Jersey, where wildfires have raged in recent weeks, and heavy snow to northeastern Pennsylvania. The precipitation was expected to help ease drought conditions after an exceptionally dry fall. Heavy snow fell in northeastern Pennsylvania, including the Pocono Mountains. Higher elevations reported up to 17 inches, with lesser accumulations in valley cities including Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Around 35,000 customers in 10 counties were still without power, down from 80,000 a day ago. In the Catskills region of New York, nearly 10,000 people remained without power Sunday morning, two days after a storm dumped heavy snow on parts of the region. Precipitation in West Virginia helped put a dent in the state’s worst drought in at least two decades and boosted ski resorts as they prepare to open in the weeks ahead. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecasts Two people died in the Pacific Northwest after a rapidly intensifying “ bomb cyclone ” hit the West Coast last Tuesday, bringing fierce winds that toppled trees and power lines and damaged homes and cars. Hundreds of thousands lost electricity in Washington state before powerful gusts and record rains moved into Northern California. Forecasters said the risk of flooding and mudslides remained as the region will get more rain starting Sunday. But the latest storm won’t be as intense as last week’s atmospheric river , a long plume of moisture that forms over an ocean and flows over land. “However, there’s still threats, smaller threats, and not as significant in terms of magnitude, that are still going to exist across the West Coast for the next two or three days,” weather service forecaster Rich Otto said. As the rain moves east throughout the week, Otto said, there’s a potential for heavy snowfall at higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, as well as portions of Utah and Colorado. California’s Mammoth Mountain, which received 2 feet of fresh snow in the recent storm, could get another 4 feet before the newest system clears out Wednesday, the resort said. Another round of wintry weather could complicate travel leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, according to forecasts across the U.S., while California and Washington state continue to recover from storm damage and power outages. In California, where two people were found dead in floodwaters on Saturday, authorities braced for more rain while grappling with flooding and small landslides from a previous storm .

BRITS will watch five hours of telly a day over Christmas and 'lie' to loved ones to avoid socialising for a boxset. As Christmas officially kicks off, many will embrace the slow, relaxed pace of the Twixmas period between December 26th and 31st, indulging in some guilty pleasures while avoiding the social demands of the festive season. A recent survey from Sky and Now has revealed that, during this in-between lull, Brits will engage in some surprising habits, with a focus on binge-watching TV, staying in their pyjamas, and even skipping showers. According to the poll, a quarter will avoid showering for three days or more during Twixmas, while half admit to wearing the same pair of pants for longer than a day. Even more surprising, 21 percent of respondents will go up to five days without leaving the house, making the period a time for ultimate relaxation and avoidance of any unnecessary errands or social obligations. In fact, it seems that getting dressed is not a priority for many, as over half of respondents - at 55 percent - will spend at least one day lounging around in their pyjamas, with some spending the entire period in their most comfortable attire. The trend of taking it easy continues with the discovery that 64% of Brits said their favourite activity during Twixmas is staying at home and watching TV. With family and friends often still lingering from Christmas, some will take the opportunity to lie about being busy to avoid socialising beyond December 25th. Around 22 percent of people admitted to fibbing to loved ones so they can stay home, binge-watch boxsets, and simply unwind without any obligations. It’s no surprise, then, that Brits are setting aside considerable time for television, with the average person watching five hours a day. Over the six days of Twixmas, this adds up to an impressive 30 hours of TV viewing, and across the UK, it amounts to a staggering 1.8 billion hours of collective screen time. During this period, many will start and finish a new TV series in just a few days, with 52 percent of respondents committing to new shows. Two-fifths will go so far as to binge-watch TV all day without ever getting up, cementing the idea that this is a time dedicated to indulgent relaxation. Rewatching old favourites is also common, with 51% of Brits revisiting beloved series they've already seen multiple times. With Gavin and Stacey's final ever episode set to air, it's perfect timing for fans to re-watch the entire series from the beggining. The Twixmas period also serves as a time for many to catch up on all the Christmas specials and festive-themed TV shows they missed during the chaos of the holiday. More than half of those surveyed - at 52 percent - will spend their time revisiting these programmes, and over a fifth - 22 percent - will make it a point to rewatch their favourite Christmas classics. This trend reflects a broader shift towards embracing comfort and relaxation in the days following Christmas. Jamie Morris, Executive Director of Content Strategy and Performance at Sky, said that this period of rest is the ideal time to relax, snack on leftovers, and enjoy some great television. Whether it's watching nostalgic favourites, diving into thrilling new series, or simply revisiting Christmas classics, Sky and NOW have ensured that Brits have access to everything they need for the perfect Twixmas.
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Myles Garrett didn't know he had joined a prestigious list of defensive stars last week until one of his biggest fans pointed it out to him. “My dad was hyped about it,” he said. For good reason. With three sacks last week in Cleveland's 24-19 win in prime time over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Garrett became the seventh player to reach double-digit sacks in seven straight seasons since the stat became official in 1982. The others: Lawrence Taylor (1984-90), Reggie White (1985-93), Bruce Smith (1992-98), John Randle (1992-99), DeMarcus Ware (2006-12) and Jared Allen (2007-13). All of them is in the Hall of Fame except for Allen. “Hall of Famer,” Garrett said in praising the retired Minnesota Vikings edge rusher, who is again on the doorstep of induction as a semifinalist for the fifth straight year. Garrett is on track to get his own bronze bust one day in Canton, but until then, he's humbled to be in such elite company. “Guys I looked up to when I started my journey into this game,” said Garrett, who tries to bolster his resume on Monday night when the Browns (3-8) visit the Denver Broncos (7-5). “It’s absolutely amazing to be amongst those guys, not just looking up at them but looking side to side and standing amongst them. "So I want to continue to find myself on those lists and hopefully stand alone at the end of the day.” He's on his way. The NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year is having another monster season but probably not getting the recognition he deserves as the Browns, upended by continuous quarterback issues, have fallen way short of expectations. Garrett used the national TV platform against the Steelers to remind any detractors of his greatness. He sacked Russell Wilson three times, forced a fumble and outplayed Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt, the player to whom he is most often compared. The Garrett vs. Watt debate went to another level in February. On the day Garrett received his DPOY award, second-place finisher Watt seemed to take a shot at the Browns star by posting “Nothing I'm not used to” on social media. Those comments stuck with Garrett, who following the win over Pittsburgh — and Watt being held without a sack — didn't hold back in declaring himself the league's best pass rusher. “I wanted to make it known that I’m the guy, I’m the No. 1 edge defender,” Garrett said. It was an unusual boast from Garrett, who was asked why he felt he needed to express himself. “Because part of my journey of being the best player that I can be is I think I can be the best player that there is currently,” he said. ”So I have to live up to those expectations I have for myself. That’s just on the road to be the player that I want to be.” Garrett's unrelenting drive is what sets him apart. Although he'll enter Monday's game with 98 1/2 sacks and can become just the fifth player to reach 100 in his first eight seasons, joining White, Ware, Allen and Watt, it's not enough. “I still took too long,” said Garrett, who can become the first to do it before turning 29. “It’d have been tough to catch Mr. White, but hopefully this next however many number will come quicker than the first 100. So we’ll go out there and we’ll do what I do and try to take it up a notch.” Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz marvels at Garrett's output despite double- and triple-team blocking. “He just continues to do stuff,” Schwartz said. “His production is so high, even though he’s a marked man, even though every game plan starts with, ‘Don’t let 95 wreck the game,’ and he still finds a way to wreck games.” Schwartz doesn't need to see any lists to know Garrett belongs among the best to ever rush a quarterback. “Yes, he does,” Schwartz said. "I think he’s just starting to hit his prime. I think he still has a lot left in front of him. The sky is the limit as far as he goes. And when it’s all said and done, maybe you’re comparing other people to him. That should probably be a goal for him.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

“We’ve always been a rock group, The Beatles”: How the White Album sowed the seeds for music’s entire future“We don’t have enough time,” I had said to my daughter as she ducked into the gift store on Toronto’s Bloor Street – just to look, of course. I had a million things to do after her ballet class, and Christmas shopping with a four-year-old was not on the list. But then I saw it, and time stopped. The ceramic tree behind the counter was a near replica of the one my grandma owned – hers, one she had made with her bridge ladies decades before I was born. I could hear her calm voice and feel her soft hands guiding me away from the tree’s bright bulbs, each nestled in a pocket of painted snow, and always too hot to touch. I could feel the comfort of sitting on her lap in the wingback chair, admiring her ceramic tree in the front window of the fancy sitting room, off limits to her grandkids any other time of year. The Victorian furniture. The plush floral carpet. If I closed my eyes long enough, I could see her eyes twinkle as we spoke; I could hear her shoulder-shaking laugh. “Mama, why are you crying?” It’s nothing, I told my daughter as she bolted down another aisle. My mind has gone back to that tree, those moments with my grandma, every Christmas. The sadness I feel that she – and so many others – aren’t with us is a rite of passage into December. The missing and the magic mixed into one bittersweet, forlorn feeling that is somehow festive to me. The hurt is not just about personal loss – it’s about injustice, too. The guilt of living in abundance here, and not clinging on to life there, feels more palpable. What right do I have to be overwhelmed about a Christmas holiday, when so many children have been torn from their homes this year, never to return – or worse? How can I sigh at my husband for playing the worst Christmas music – yes, of course the people in Africa know it’s Christmas – when so many loved ones aren’t with us any more, and so many are fighting for basic survival? The melancholy and guilt and nostalgia are all wrapped up together like Christmas lights I’ll never untangle. And though I don’t want my kids to feel unhappy – in fact, I go to great lengths to ensure this is their most wonderful time of year – I do want them to feel some of these less-bright parts of Christmas: gratitude, reflection and, okay, maybe feel a bit sad for others who don’t have as much, instead of simply seeing Christmas as an opportunity to ask for more, more, more. I wish my kid would put down the toy catalogue and understand a deeper meaning of the season; is that too much to ask? “Gratitude is actually the opposite of entitlement, and you can absolutely teach your kids to know there is nuance and sadness at Christmas,” says Dona Matthews, a developmental psychologist in Toronto, and author of Imperfect Parenting – a handbook on creating kids who are, among other things, grateful and understanding of the world around them. She says parents need to be honest about why Christmas brings us all down sometimes, and name our complicated feelings out loud. If, for example, your child sees a person asking for money on the street, Matthews says, “it’s okay to tell them that person doesn’t have what he needs by way of food and shelter. We are so lucky [to] have a warm house and food to eat.” She says we can teach kids about the cruelty and injustice of the world by speaking about our good fortune in contrast with the less fortunate, and then encouraging kids – even at 4 – to try to do something about it: donate to a food bank, give money or gift cards to a person on the street, or take their too-small clothes to a shelter. “They can learn firsthand that they can make the world a better place – that’s the next step in the gratitude project,” Matthews says. Gratitude and reflection – the things I’m needing most for my kids – are also achieved, she says, by saying no and not giving them the most things at Christmas – even when we all want to make merry. “If you want Veruca Salt for a child,” she says, “just give them everything they ask for.” I won’t tell her about my daughter, hands full of knick-knacks in the toy store, begging for a bejewelled reindeer and gingerbread chapstick. I told her to put it all back, though she’s grown up in a world where materialistic overconsumption is the norm, and she understands anything she wants can theoretically arrive at her doorstep the next day. It’s no wonder, then, that she views Christmas as an endless fire hose of stuff, when all of her parents’ holiday packages keep multiplying in our entranceway. And yet, if TikTok is to be believed, “underconsumption core” is actually having a moment: that is, the Gen Z aesthetic trending on the social-media app shows carefully curated young people showing off how they live with less, buy very little and reject messaging from big corporations that you need more stuff. It’s a message millennial parents – and their kids – seemingly haven’t heard. In the U.S., holiday spending has steadily increased every year – with 2024 expected to top US$989 billion , and millennials – specifically, those with young kids – leading the spending charge. According to a Harris poll, Gen Z may be watching those “less is more” videos but their holiday spending is extraordinary: A Gen Z shopper spends an average of US$1,638 – more than double their boomer counterpart. How can anyone expect to sit with the sadness of the season when we are all consuming too much – myself (and my daughter) included? “Mama, can we go home?” A Gen Z trend that is truly making a comeback is colourful, vintage décor – or so the store clerk told me as she wrapped up my purchase, with my impatient daughter pulling at my coat. “I got us something,” I said to my daughter when we got in the door. “I thought you said no more stuff,” she wisely observed, as she climbed into my lap to unwrap our new, old, sad, wonderful tree.
Casey Richardson Castanet is revisiting the top stories of an eventful 2024. Today, for our favourite good news community stories, we look back at a number of stories from the past year that showcase the best of the Thompson-Okanagan. In West Kelowna, two pigs were spotted roaming through the community neighbourhoods and parks. Eventually, the pair ended up in the field in front of an elementary school. RCMP, animal control, and numerous animal rescues came out in an attempt to round up the pigs. The animals didn’t give up their freedom easily, however, with one running away from volunteers across the park as kids from the nearby school cheered it on. Eventually, they were able to secure both piggies, which Star’s Piggly Wiggly Sanctuary took in. “They were cheering hard for him to go piggy go," said Jacenda Byer of Petra’s Pawdicures. “It was beautiful. Honestly, we were not impressed with ourselves, but I’m glad it all turned out the way it did and the kids got a good story to go home and tell their parents now," Down south, a notorious four-legged Penticton runaway finally found himself a home. The local pup used to be seen roaming city streets for years before, being nicknamed Oreo. Now named Benny, the pup has settled in quite nicely with his family. The City of Penticton celebrated success with the implementation of its accessible chairs and mats installed at Sudbury Beach. A visitor from the Sunshine Coast came all the way to the Skaha Lake to give the Mobi mats and chairs a spin. “I've not been in the water for six years because of the walker, I can't push this on the beach,” Edna Carley said. “I was thrilled to pieces to know that this was here for people like me who can't walk on the beach.” In Oliver, a resident pushed for a response to a cat stuck on the top of a power pole for five days. FortisBC had declined previously to attend the area, citing safety reasons, but eventually came down. The worker shut off the power and headed up to retrieve the cat when it jumped down safely. Two Vernon boys were honoured at their hockey practice for their “life-saving” actions life last year, given the BC EHS Good Samaritan award. Benji and Carson received the award for helping a man having a medical emergency in October 2022. CLIP “We were selling chocolate bars for a fundraiser for our hockey team, and we knocked on someone's door. Luckily, he had glass windows and doors [so] we could see him. He fell down the stairs and passed out.” The boys found a neighbour to get help, called 911 and stayed with the man until EHS arrived. Benji and Carson were each awarded with a plaque and a goody bag of items from BC EHS. The kind-hearted nature of Vernon residents doesn’t stop there. A local decided to run a marathon a day to raise money for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, in honour of his mother. At the end of May, Oliver Stankiewicz raised over $36,000 for a new piece of technology for the hospital’s cancer care unit. Come August, he had crossed over the 100,000 dollar mark. Up in Salmon Arm, the theft of a parrot from a local pet store had local RCMP and the community on the lookout, even offering a cash reward. Sightings were reported and chased down for hours, until finally, Ed’s World of Critters and Supplies staff were able to retrieve the bird from the thief. When the bird was returned to the store, it was promptly purchased by a customer, who had been saving up for months to bring him home. In Kamloops, efforts from three young kids resulted in a swing set getting installed a local park. With the help of their parents, Sitka Porte r put together a petition in April asking the city to install swings at the North Shore playground. “I personally like swings because you can go really fast and very high,” said eight-year-old Porter. “It’s kind of just an essential for a park — and this park has no swings.” The petition got traction from the kids’ door-knocking and online presence, resulting in a conversation with the city’s parks division. In early summer, upgrades planned for another Park allowed for a swing set to become available, which was installed at a local park at the end of November. A Kamloops Grade 12 student made history in November at the BC School Sports swimming championships, setting three records while taking home four gold medals. The teen swimmer discovered she had an invisible impairment later on in life, which led to her shift to become a paraathlete. She now has her sights set on competing in the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. These are just a few of the feel-good stories from the Thompson-Okanagan in 2024 — did we miss your favourite?

A 7-5 record feels a whole better than 6-6 for East Tennessee State football coach Tre Lamb. Lamb knows it’s important to finish his first season leading the Bucs with a victory. While they’ve doubled the number of wins which ETSU achieved each of the previous two seasons, a winning record is something everyone can hang their hats on. It’s not an easy task for the Bucs (6-5 overall, 4-3 Southern Conference) who play at Virginia Military Institute on Saturday at noon. Sure the Keydets are 1-10 and 1-6, but just two weeks ago they beat the same Furman team which defeated the Bucs in Johnson City last week. “Our guys have a lot to play for — winning record in the Southern Conference, pride, a winning day for our seniors and getting to seven wins,” Lamb said. “We can carry so momentum into recruiting into the offseason, 7-5 feels a lot better than 6-6.” The Bucs will have to take care of the football, which has been the most frustrating part of the season for Lamb. They rank second in the country for most interceptions with 20, while Lamb played three quarterbacks — Gino English, Jaylen King and Baylor Hayes — against Furman. He promised that won’t happen Saturday, although he is waiting until game day to name a starter. “We are playing three quarterbacks right now which tells you we don’t have one,” Lamb said. “We’re not going to do musical chairs. We’re going to give it to one guy and let him go play.” VMI has also played multiple quarterbacks this season with four of them attempting 20 or more passes this season. JoJo Crump came in to hit 9-of-14 passes for 138 yards after replacing starter Chandler Wilson in last Saturday’s loss to Western Carolina. Hunter Rice, a hard-nosed 235-pound senior running back, has been the most productive offensive player with 713 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Still, the Keydets have been nowhere near as effective as the Bucs running the football. ETSU is averaging 194.1 yards rushing per game, led by Bryson Irby with 722 yards on 130 carries and Devontae Houston with 544 yards on 101 rushes. VMI has a legitimate star on the defensive side of the ball with linebacker Eric Rankin, who leads the Southern Conference with 103 tackles. He was named the FCS National Player of the Week with 18 tackles in VMI’s game against The Citadel. He is a disruptive force with 11 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles. Defensive back Kouri Crump is next on the team with 85 tackles. ETSU has defensive standouts as well with linebackers Ray Coney with 89 tackles and William McRainey with 82 tackles. Zach West has 8.5 tackles, including 2.5 in the Bucs’ 24-21 win over Western Carolina two weeks ago. Among the defensive backs, Cam Sims has been responsible for 17 pass breakups, while Jaden Woods ranks fourth on the team in tackles. “I’m super proud of our guys for their effort this year,” Lamb said. “We could be sitting here realistically at 9-2 and 10-1 is not too far out of our reach if the ball bounces our way a couple of times.” To reach the goal in front of them, Lamb knows a game at VMI’s Alumni Memorial Stadium in late November provides a different challenge than a lot of other venues. Part of that is due to the Keydets and part of that is the environment. “They’re very chaotic defensively and do a good job of creating negative plays,” Lamb said. “It’s a really hard place to play. The grass is dormant this time of year, a slow track, typically overcast with gray skies, 35-40 degrees. They have a lot of tough military kids who are giving their best effort every week. We can’t let our circumstances of weather and location affect the way we prepare.”Karine Jean-Pierre claims ‘war politics’ is the reason for Hunter Biden pardon | Reporter Replay

When it comes to Christopher Nolan’s films, their sound mix has been one of the most discussed topics of his work – reaching an apex with “Tenet” where inaudible dialogue became one of the film’s most discussed criticisms. Nolan himself revealed the cause last year to – the filmmaker doesn’t do additional dialogue recordings (ADR) in post-production, a tool virtually every TV and movie uses. He said at the time its a deliberate artistic choice which people have every right to take issue with. That’s combined with Nolan shooting his movies with IMAX cameras which are famously very noisy, an issue for quieter dialogue scenes as the tech relies on software to filter out the camera noise. “Oppenheimer” seemed to be a distinct improvement on “Tenet,” but not entirely free of audio problems. The director said last Summer that “IMAX is building new cameras right now which are going to be even quieter” which will hopefully negate some of the problem. At a recent presentation, the new IMAX tech than Nolan will use on “The Odyssey” was reportedly revealed. In a posting on (via ) details of the tech are out and includes a camera 30% quieter than past IMAX cameras, a new multi-layer carbon fibre structure and body (so it’s lighter), brighter Panavision-designed viewfinder, and more stable and even film exposure. Nolan is expected to get to work on “The Odyssey” in the first half of next year with the project aiming for a July 17th 2026 release. Here’s the new IMAX technology Nolan is using for “The Odyssey” A 30% quieter camera which might be useful for recording dialogue and sound mix, as well as other improvements like a carbon fiber body for lighter operation and an LCD viewfinder.
