UPDATE – Watch

In 1965, Japanese watchmaker Seiko created the brand’s first-ever dive watch under the reference 62MAS. Now in 2020, the company is celebrating the iconic watch’s 55th anniversary, first by releasing a special edition re-creation with an updated 8L55 movement, and now launching a new line under its Prospex series inspired by the 62MAS itself.

 The four new retro-indebted timepieces all come in the form of a 40.5mm stainless steel case with the different colored dials designed to harken back to the 1965 model itself, with the indices, bezel, date window and hands all borrowing from the original.

Seiko’s new 62MAS-inspired Prospex line will be available some time this summer, with prices ranging from $1,000 USD to $1,350 USD.

Bishop Nyarko, in a viral video was heard telling his congregation that he has decided to follow the steps of actor Majid Michelle, stressing that the movie industry is full of evil.

“I have stopped because it’s full of evil. Every day, you would meet different people; every day, you would see different girls. All of them want you to become their friends and some of them are coming from the marine sea, they should take their movie,” he said.

Exactly a month ago, he was reported to have said he has quit acting and nothing will make him rescind the decision.

The year was 2015, and the world of footwear was in flux. The retro runner craze of the early ‘10s had begun to lose steam, old-school basketball sneakers were seemingly mired in mediocrity and Kanye West, fresh off a frustrating deal with Nike and in a new partnership with adidas, was evolving into the omnipotent footwear deity he is today. Amid these shifting tides, a high-performance running shoe dubbed the adidas UltraBOOST quietly made its debut.

The UltraBOOST was initially released to little fanfare outside the hardcore running community in February 2015. BOOST technology had first appeared on 2013’s Energy BOOST, but at the time it was strictly the providence of performance geeks, with no ends on making an impact in the lifestyle sphere outside of 2014’s cult classic Y-3 Yohji BOOST. Yet when the influential Mr. West was photographed rocking a UltraBOOST “Triple White” in May 2015 and subsequently performed in the pair on multiple occasions, the UltraBOOST — which at the time was readily available at every run-of-the-mill retailer — flew off shelves worldwide.

UltraBOOST was a huge departure [from other running product] for the adidas brand.

Nowadays, BOOST is everywhere in the world of adidas. It’s used on new adidas YEEZYs like the YEEZY BOOST 380 and YEEZY BOOST 700 MNVN, provides hybrid tooling for dozens of homage-inspired adidas Originals releases and much more.

Although the UltraBOOST was carried by retailers ranging from mom-and-pop running shops in Minnesota to elite Tokyo boutiques, only select partners were able to embellish it.

Essentially, BOOST is a signature technology that’s been revealed fully in five years — unlike Air Max, which didn’t reach full-foot proportions for almost two decades.BOOST may need to find new ways to evolve, and with silhouettes like updated Parley iterations, the UltraBOOST 20 and UltraBOOST S&L, adidas has the tools to do just that. Thanks to these new silhouettes and technical innovations like LIGHTSTRIKE, which adidas has recently started to combine with BOOST, there’s plenty to be excited about as the UB enters the latter half of its first decade on the market.

If you weren’t already an avid reader, you may have recently found yourself with far more time at home and hence, more inclination to crack open a good book.

UPDATE – TECH

During a conference call following Tesla’s Q1 2020 results, CEO Elon Musk announced that the company’s Full Self-Driving System will be available as a monthly subscription service later this year. In February of last year, it cost $5,000 USD to install FSD, jumping to $7,000 USD by November. A subscription would allow drivers to use the feature for a few months before deciding to use it on a daily basis.

With the cost of ownership or subscription of FDS spread out over time, CFO Zachary Kirkhorn believes the package will be more accessible to those wishing to purchase it. With new features added to the system, however, like the ability to respond to traffic lights and stop signs, the package may see an increase in price.

UPDATE – NEWS SPORT

 

Former U.S. Olympic and national team coach Maggie Haney received an eight-year suspension form USA Gymnastics on Wednesday for verbal emotional abuse against her gymnasts, according to The Orange County Register’s Scott Reid.

Haney, once one of the country’s most prominent gymnastics coaches, was found by a USA Gymnastics hearing panel to have failed to “to provide a safe, positive and healthy environment with a culture of trust and empowerment.”

She was also found to have “engaged in severe aggressive behavior toward a minor that included teasing and ridiculing that was intended to control and diminish another person.”

The decision comes almost four years after Hernandez filed her first abuse complaints against Haney to a USA Gymnastics official in 2016.

UPDATE – FASHION

After first joining forces for a colorful Clyde in December 2019, The Hundreds and PUMA are back again — this time with a full capsule collection. Dubbed “Cliques,” the partners’ latest offering showcases ’90s high school style and the evolution of streetwear over the last three decades. To further the historical ethos, a fully illustrated lookbook was also created by artist Goathe.

Each of these four sneakers is accompanied by a full collaborative set of apparel, ranging from windbreakers and track jackets to pants, shorts, hats and backpacks. Standout pieces include plaid “Party” anoraks, fresh “Prep” tracksuits and vivid “Jock” graphic hoodies.

Although the collection consists of almost 30 pieces, it’s centered around four footwear silhouettes. There’s a boldly colorblocked Clyde, done up vividly to represent party animals and an athletically geared Performer Mid in white, black purple and orange for the jocks.

A 16-year old reseller in Virginia, Alexandria created a digital checkout tool called Bird Bot that’s fuelled Nintendo Switch shortages around the world.

At first, he created Bird Bot for him and his friends to purchase Nintendo Switch consoles during the quarantine shortage. But then he put it on GitHub, where software developers upload and share each other’s creations. “I tweeted it out, got a bunch of likes and retweets, made a Discord group for it,” Nate said.

He has since donated $1,000 USD to the Make-A-Wish Foundation from the money he earned in donations gathered by developers who used the bot. “He wasn’t really prepared for how this took off,” his mom said. “He’s been blamed for causing hoarding of the Switches. He’s gotten angry messages, requests for interviews — and someone even tried to steal his code and pass it off as his own.” Nate has stated those who are hoarding Switch consoles will begin to feel the pressure when Nintendo ramps up production to meet demands.

He also hopes to inspire other kids to do something creative during the quarantine with his story. “The Internet is a great resource, try and think of something that hasn’t been done before, think of something that others can learn from,” he said. “The biggest takeaway from this is that you can create something really cool at home, on your own.”
