Miami’s art week takes on new look as galleries, artists get creative

December 6, 2020783 Views

For almost two decades the first week of December in Miami has been synonymous with artists, art fairs, champagne-soaked parties, pop up installations, an explosion of new graffiti, and traffic gridlock. But the Florida city looks far different this year. After the coronavirus pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to announce in September that it was canceling this year’s fair, the galaxy of satellite fairs around the city followed suit. Art Basel is typically one of the busiest times for Miami, and the jolt could not have come at a worse time for this tourism-and-hospitality driven city hit hard by COVID-19.

Japan’s government is considering the resumption of inbound tourism on a limited basis from the spring as Tokyo prepares to host a delayed summer Olympics, the Asahi newspaper reported on Sunday. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s administration is leaning toward allowing small tour groups from Asian countries where coronavirus infections are well under control, such as China and Taiwan, the Asahi reported without citing sources. Japanese government officials did not return calls from Reuters seeking comment. Suga’s government has launched a subsidy programme to revive domestic tourism, a key driver of economic growth in recent years, but the scheme has been criticised because Japan is struggling with a third wave of coronavirus infections. New cases have spiked to record hig...

India's iconic Western Ghats, inscribed by UNESCO in 2012 as a natural world heritage site, is threatened by population pressure, urbanisation and climate change, according to a new report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The IUCN World Heritage Outlook 3, published last week, builds on previous reports from 2014 and 2017 to track whether the conservation of the world’s 252 natural world heritage sites is sufficient to protect them in the long term. According to the 2020 report, the conservation outlook of the mountain chain of the Western Ghats, one of the worlds eight hottest hot spots of biological diversity, is of significant concern. If a sites conservation outlook is of significant concern, its values are considered to be threatened by a num...

ये बग्गी हमारी बग्गी जैसी नहीं है। टुंड्रा बग्गी पहियों पर ऐसी जगहों की सैर कराती है जहां जाने का कोई सड़क मार्ग नहीं। टुंड्रा बग्गी दुनिया की उन अजग-गजब चीजों में से है जो सैलानियों को लुभाती है। हम बात कर रहे हैं कनाडा के मनितोबा में हडसन खाड़ी के मुहाने पर स्थित चर्चिल की। इसे दुनिया की पोलर बीयर (ध्रुवीय भालू) राजधानी कहा जाता है। 2006 में चर्चिल शहर की आबादी महज 923 थी। लेकिन इस शहर में ट्रेन जाती है, यहां बंदरगाह है और रोजाना उड़ानें। नहीं है तो बस बाकी कनाडा के लिए कोई सड़क नहीं है। चर्चिल में तीन इकोसिस्टम आकर मिलते हैं- उत्तर में हडसन खाड़ी, उत्तर-पश्चिम में आर्टिक टुंड्रा और दक्षिण में घने जंगल। यह इलाका मई से अगस्त तक पक्षियों को देखने के लिए, जुलाई से अगस्त की गर्मियों में बेलुगा व्हेल मछलियों को देखने के लिए और अक्टूबर-नवंबर में पोलर बीयर देखने के लिए खासा लोकप्रिय है। टुं...

कोर एरिया से एक राउंड लगाकर जिप्सी गेस्ट हाउस आ चुकी थी। पिछले दिन की सफारी और आज की आधी सफारी पूरी हो चुकी हो थी। आज की सफारी अगले ढाई घंटे में खत्म होने वाली थी। कई बार टाइगर रिजर्व की यात्राओं की तरह इस बार भी बाघ दिखाई देने को लेकर नाउम्मीदी ही थी। लेकिन घने जंगल में घूमने का रोमांच हमेशा बरकरार रहता है। तो एक बार हम फिर निकल पड़े कोर एरिया में। घास के मैदानों से होते हुए छोटे तालाब तक पहुंच गए। वहां सफेद कमल के फूल और तालाब पर पड़ती सूरज की रोशनी। काफी आकर्षक माहौल था। कुछ फोटो क्लिक किए और आगे बढ़ गए। हम जिस रास्ते से आगे बढ़ रहे थे, वह कोर और बफर का बॉर्डर था। पुराने इंद्री गांव का इलाका। अक्सर इस इलाके में बाघ द्वारा अलस्सुबह मवेशियों को मार दिए जाने की घटनाएं सुनाई पड़ती है। तो हमने दाएं-बाएं की जिम्मेदारी बांट ली और आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता आगे बढ़ती जिप्सी पर बैठे-बैठे जंगल पर नजरें जमा...

Faced with the prospect of closure amid the coronavirus pandemic, a cozy tapas bar in the centre of Madrid appealed to its clients in an emotional video in late October to help it stay afloat by paying for their food and drink in advance. Over the past five weeks, El miniBAR has received 40,000 euros ($48,592) from some 400 loyal customers who prepaid for food and drink they hope to return to the bar to enjoy later. Owner Nacho Bustos keeps a list and the customers just need to give their phone number so the amount is deducted from what they paid in advance.

After the unboxing video for GoPro Hero 9 Black (see the link below), as promised, we are back with the first hands-on experience of Hero 9. Putting this camera to some tough task, I have taken it for rafting on Ganges. Task was to test on many things. The picture and colour quality of the video, stabilisation as promised by the Hyper Smooth 3.0 function and its sturdiness. Colours are amazing, images are sharp. Camera took a heavy splash of water a number of times and well, it was fun every time. Results are here for all to so, also look the smoothness of the video even when the raft is riding on unsettling waves or even dropping in a gorge! Robust camera comes out a winner every time. https://youtu.be/uerbDEg7sOc See the unboxing video of GoPro Hero 9 Black: : https://youtu.be/t...
