West Side Story Is Stephen Sondheim’s Greatest Film Adaptation
The impact of the works of Stephen Sondheim cannot be understated. Through his witty, insightful lyrics and gorgeous, complex music, his shows revolutionized the American musical theater in more ways than can be comprehended, being awarded with eight Tonys, eight Grammys, and an Oscar over the course of his career. Not to mention, there are the generations of composers he mentored, both directly and indirectly, to write in their own voices to push the form even further. At the time of his recent death at the age of 91, a gender swapped revival of his musical Company was in previews on Broadway, a well reviewed revival of Assassins was running Off-Broadway, and a new film adaptation of West Side Story from the legendary Steven Spielberg was to have its premiere a few days later. These works created decades ago are still thrilling and moving audiences today.

ELAN VOYAGER FOLDING SKIS
If you are a keen skier, you will know for sure that the single most
annoying aspect of owning skis is carrying them, and they are even
harder to take on a plane. Not to mention those oversize baggage queues.
Elan, an innovative Slovenian ski company, has tackled this problem
with the introduction of the world?s first folding all-mountain skis!
The game-changing Elan Voyager Folding Skis
feature an innovative Connect Tech design that allows the skis to fold
down to one meter for easy transportation around the slopes or during
transit. The binding, which comes integrated as part of the ski, sits on
a carbon-reinforced plastic plate that, once unlocked, swings round on a
pivot to marry the two halves of the Voyager. watch the video below
SUBTECH TACTICAL EVERYDAY BACKPACK
Subtech, creators of the award-winning Pro Drybag, a 100% waterproof and shockproof sport bag, have introduced a rugged backpack built for extreme missions. The Subtech Tactical Everyday Backpack
was fully funded on Kickstarter in only 60 minutes, and it is not hard
to see why so many want to grab hold of one of these rugged and
versatile packs. Even though the bag in itself is impressive for its
function, quality, and durability, it is the internal design with the
well-thought-out pocket system that really graded our attention. It has
four main compartments and 12 dedicated pockets for cloth, shoes, and
smaller gadgets. The versatile 38 Liter everyday backpack can also
retract down in size to an impressive 8 Liters, this is thanks to the
four Cobra buckle compressions straps and aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum
buckles. watch the video below
