You owe it to yourself to see The Odyssey on the biggest screen possible. I thought was a masterpiece after seeing it projected in a typical theater on 70mm film. But that was nothing compared to IMAX. An opening shot of the Trojan Horse buried on a beach towered above the audience. An aerial view of Odysseus's cliffside home in Ithaca took my breath away.

Colloquially, OCD is known as the doubting disorder. In his new book, Simone Stolzoff explores whether treating that uncertainty with magic mushrooms can help people through it. Adam Strauss is standing in his New York City apartment, holding the limp cord of his headphones, trying to choose between the two MP3 players on his desk: the iPod and the iRiver, its Korean counterpart. He tries different songs, different genres, different instruments. The iRiver tends to sound better overall, but the iPod offers a little more nuance in the midrange. The iPod has a better battery life, but the iRiver still lasts eight hours-- longer than he's ever continuously listened to music. Then again, he's never owned an MP3 player. He goes back and forth, back and forth, testing vocal ranges, button resistance, interface aesthetics. It would be one thing if it were just Adam's decision of which MP3 player to buy. After all, it was 2003, the height of the personal audio device revolution, and Adam was a 29-year-old audiophile. For Adam, it was also other decisions-- what shirt to wear to work, what to order for lunch, even what side of the street to walk down. At one point, in an effort to simplify his decisionmaking process for what to wear, Adam bought 11 identical blue button-down shirts. But he quickly found variations in each shirt's fit and fading. He believed there was a shirt to pick; each morning he would spend 20, 30, then 45 minutes trying to find it. If he could only determine which shirt was best, he could control his fate.

Meanwhile its Audacious Project --a funding initiative that gives mature nonprofits the opportunity to pitch "moonshot" plans to a coalition of philanthropists--has raised over $1 billion in each of the last two years, in an epic Robin Hood operation for a handful of large-scale projects on climate, health, education, and criminal justice: The Audacious recipients here this year are taking this brief break from their work preventing 16 million unsafe abortions, helping governments in 20 countries prevent lead poisoning, or intercepting 5 percent of the world's river-borne plastic before it reaches the ocean.

Melling plays Colin, a certified beta whose deepest desire is to serve. He gets his wish when he meets Ray (Skarsgård), a toppy, Tom of Finland -esque biker with an attitude so icy it could preserve food.

The Netflix and Warner Bros. deal might be great for shareholders, but not for anyone else Hollywood does not need more consolidation. Netflix's $82.7 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. is, in many ways, the last thing a weakened Hollywood needs right now. The industry is still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, where theaters were forced to close and audiences became even more comfortable with streaming films at home . The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023, which were driven by legitimate concerns around studio interest in generative AI, delayed production and promotion of many film and TV projects. And the rise of streaming content pushed many media companies towards taking on debt and unwise mergers (see: Warner Bros. Discovery), which led to higher subscription costs, layoffs and production belt-tightening.

Our healthcare systems are struggling with the ageing population resulting in an increasing demand and rising expenditures while facing a shortage of healthcare professionals at the same time [7, 12]. When a system is under stress and demand exceeds supply, among other strategies, scheduling resources efficiently and planning becomes important [8]. Hospitals are a critical component of the healthcare system, playing a vital role in care coordination, system development, and supporting population health needs [11]. Efficient planning in hospitals is important to utilized the limited resources in the best possible manner. Here approaches from Operations Research can be of benefit to optimize planning problems such as admission planning, bed allocation, nurse scheduling and surgery scheduling [6, 10]. It has been recognized in the past that resources should be planned in an integrated manner to improve the overall outcomes instead of focusing on individual departments or resources [10].
