Broadway is Closing Due to the Coronavirus

-
Image
The show must go on. This has been the motto of Broadway since the day the first show opened. But now, the bright lights of the marquee’s are going dark as all Broadway shows have been closed until further notice. Governor Andrew Cuomo has recently decided that all gatherings of 500 people or greater have been banned in New York State in an attempt to flatten out the curve of the Coronavirus. But what does this mean for the thousands of actors, musicians, stagehands, ushers, and other people who will be out of work for at least a month? How will this affect the future of these shows?  Important note: I'm not in any way saying that this wasn’t the right choice for Cuomo to make. We absolutely need to prioritize actors, theater employee’s, and theater-goers' health. There are so many ways that this will immediately affect theater employees. First of all, it has been estimated that Broadway will lose over $100 million from ticket sales. With this much money lost, ther...

Ski Racing: the Inside Scoop ^me, during my last race at states^ Everyone has their thing . Their interest, their hobby, their passion. Skiing is My Thing. It's my thing that I live for. Most people know about the pros, like Mikaela Shiffrin, Lindsey Vonn, Marcel Hersher. They see them racing down the hill, sometimes going over 80mph depending on the event. However, that doesn't come naturally. There is so much that goes into the final result.  Training Every weekend, and every day for some, out there on the snow running gates. Just out there running courses, all day, every day. It starts with you at the start gate. “Julia in the gate” is what I say into the walkie talkie that is positioned at the top tied to a pole, so my coach knows who’s at the start, because they are halfway down the course ready to video you so you can watch later and see what you could improve on. While you wait for the clear, you think about everything you're working on: level shoulders. ...

The Horrifying Truth of the Meat Industry

The meat industry is horrifying. And not just because they are killing millions of innocent animals every day, billions if you count fish. It’s the way these animals get to your plate that is simply terrifying. From the second these animals are born they are abused. Right after birth, calves are traumatically separated from their mothers. Then they are dehorned, branded, and tagged. These baby cows are brought to feedlots where they are confined to pens so small that they don’t have space to turn around, lie down comfortably, or even stretch their limbs. Since factories bring in money based on the weight of animals, they are constantly stuffed with “food”, if you can even call it that. By-products that are commonly mixed with cow feed include stale junk food, gum with wrappers, heat treated garbage, chicken feathers, and urea. These disgusting items found in cow feed plus antibiotics that are often laced in as well can cause liver abscesses, acidosis in their rumens, illnesses a...
