Methods used in hospital waste disposal

Top Gun : Maverick ’s Cannes Film Festival premiere marks another high point in the movie star career of Tom Cruise . The actor turns 60 on July 3, and unlike most leading men of that age who become quicker to call for the stunt double, Cruise shows little evidence of slowing down after 43 films. If anything, his Mission: Impossible stunts seem to grow more ambitiously dangerous, not to mention the fact that he and director Doug Liman will become the first to actually shoot a space film in space for real—aboard one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX crafts with the cooperation of NASA. So how does Cruise continue to carve such a path? “I’ve gotten to work with a number of actors who’ve had great success and long careers, Tom being at the top of the heap,” says Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. “He approaches every day with the enthusiasm that it’s his first movie, and at the same time puts the effort into it like it’s his last movie. That’s a good attitude … [Read more...] about What Makes Tom Cruise’s Star Shine So Brightly? Directors Share Their Insights – Cannes Disruptors

About eight years ago, Ricki Lake and her producing partner Abby Epstein resolved to turn a critical eye on hormonal birth control. Their previous documentary , 2008’s The Business of Being Born , emphasized the risks and expense of giving birth in a hospital. This new project would apply that same medical skepticism to ongoing conversations around hormonal contraceptives. “In 1960 the birth control pill was all about progress, but does it still fit with our values today?” Lake and Epstein wondered in the project’s Kickstarter campaign . “Do we look to the tech sector to take on the challenge of providing women with alternatives to the pill?” Like so much content that’s “just asking questions,” The Business of Birth Control seems to have a barely concealed agenda: to steer viewers away from hormonal contraception, and towards the tech-assisted “natural” methods the film ultimately endorses. The documentary — which was released last month along with a $147 “Body Literacy … [Read more...] about The Problem With Ricki Lake’s ‘The Business of Birth Control’

Opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of Rolling Stone editors or publishers. There’s been a good deal of commentary recently about how the cost of beer is going to go up . Make no mistake, these predictions are all likely correct. There are a lot of moving parts that go into making beer and even more moving parts (like trucks “moving parts”) in getting the beer to retail locations for consumers to purchase. This is the part of the supply chain that is getting more expensive. However, from my perspective, these increased costs are likely not going to justify the level of price increases that consumers are going to see on the shelf. Here’s what’s happening: We’re seeing supply chain disruption coming from just about everywhere. Hops are in good supply, but the grains used to make beer are having a moment of difficulty in recent harvest quantities, and the cost of delivery is getting more expensive due to fuel prices and availability of … [Read more...] about Price Increases Are Coming to Beer: Why It Isn’t What It Seems

As the baby formula shortage continues, increasingly desperate parents are searching for answers about what to do when they can’t find the formula they need. One trend that has medical professionals and regulatory agencies concerned is people making their own formula. The Food and Drug Administration and the American Academy of Pediatrics have warned against using it, citing a lack of balanced nutrition and the risk of harm to babies. News reports are springing up of babies hospitalized for drinking homemade or diluted formula, as parents struggle to find the products they typically use to feed their babies. But that hasn’t stopped recipes from popping up all over social media , where they pull in large numbers of views and likes. On TikTok, a recipe using hemp seeds, sea moss, and medjool dates has been viewed more than 10,000 times. In the comments, users ask the original poster, who doesn’t claim to be a healthcare professional, for advice on … [Read more...] about Influencers Are Posting Potentially Dangerous Baby Formula Recipes, Despite Safety Warnings

HBO will likely pick up a TV adaptation of Martin Scorsese ‘s 2010 psychological thriller, Shutter Island , tentatively titled Ashecliffe , Deadline reports. The premium cable network is still in talks with Paramount Television, but if the deal goes through, Scorsese will likely direct the pilot based on a script by Dennis Lehane, who wrote the original 2003 novel. The series will center around the Ashecliffe mental institution, which Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, U.S. Marshal Edward “Teddy” Daniels, investigates in the film. The show, however, will be set in the years before the film takes place, and will delve into the secrets of the hospital’s founders and the disturbing methods of treatment they used to treat their patients. Ashecliffe was reportedly the brain child of Paramount TV chief, Amy Powell. Lehane, who also penned the books that inspired Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone , reportedly jumped at the chance to explore the world he created in his … [Read more...] about HBO in Talks to Adapt Martin Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ Into Series
