World Sleep Day

World Sleep Day exists to highlight and celebrate the importance of  quality, healthy sleep. It has the goal of bringing attention and  awareness to sleep problems and disorders, while promoting prevention  and management of them, in order to reduce them in society. Other  related goals of the day are to increase research of sleep medicines and  to come to a better understanding of sleep conditions. Up to 45% of the  world's population has a sleep problem, and most of these problems can  be prevented or treated, but only about one in three people seek  treatment.

The day is organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World  Sleep Society, a nonprofit organization based in the United States.  Members of the World Sleep Society were formerly members of the World  Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM), which held the day for the first  time in 2008. WASM merged with the World Sleep Federation in 2016 to  form the World Sleep Society. The day was founded to highlight the  importance of healthy sleep because many researchers and health  professionals found that sleep was taking a back seat in people's views  of personal health. They believed that the seeming nonstop 24/7 movement  of modern life was compromising sleep as well. During its first year,  the goal was to bring together healthcare providers and healthcare  members who focus on sleep, to discuss and disseminate information about  sleep around the world.

Participants in World Sleep Day can become official delegates, and  then plan and submit activities to the World Sleep Day website, so the  activities can become official World Sleep Day events. Participants can  organize any type or size of event that promotes an awareness of the  importance of sleep. Events may take place online or may be physical  events taking place anywhere in the world. Common events include  discussions, presentations of educational materials, exhibitions,  lectures, and walk-a-thons. There is a new slogan each year, and  participants usually organize their events around it. The World Sleep  Society also provides a toolkit to help with event planning, which  includes talking points, a press release, and more. As of 2018, at least  55 countries were participating in the day.

How to Observe

You  may want to spend the day sleeping on World Sleep Day, and you should  make sure to get the right amount of quality sleep today, but with your  time awake you should be busy, as there is much work to be done. You  could organize an activity or event to raise awareness about sleep  disorders and the importance of sleep, such as a discussion,  presentation, exhibition, lecture, or walk-a-thon. In order to make your  activity an official event, become a delegate and submit your activity. You may want to organize your activity around the year's slogan, and look at the World Sleep Day toolkit to give you ideas.

If you would like to attend an event, you are able to search on the World Sleep Day website for some taking place near you. You could also download banners for the day to be used on social media and read stories about the day that have appeared in the media.

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi and her husband appear to have used unreported $28 million in Covid pandemic grants to make their personal investments in a hotel profit, per RealClearInvestigations. The two of its investors in the Auberge du Soleil, a five-star hillside hotel and spa. The Auberge du Soleil investment, held for decades by Paul Pelosi, has rarely turned a significant profit, until 2021. Then, Pelosi’s private holdings, such as the Auberge du Soleil resort, received upwards of $28 million in pandemic-related taxpayer funds, including the PPP, the COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan, and a special grant program for restaurants. For example, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, one of the additional programs launched by the new round of pandemic spending, provided $5 million to the Auberge du Soleil in June 2021. The first PPP loan, awarded the previous year, provided $2.9 million – helping the Pelosis earn millions on an investment that has rarely turned a significant profit, according to Nancy’s ethics disclosures. This is unusual.

MAGICAL CREATURES AND THE MINISTRY AWAITS…

Beyond the world’s ornate portal, guests will first journey from a Muggle park in Paris into the breathtaking spectacle of 1920’s Place Cachée – a hidden, bustling shopping district in wizarding Paris lined with Haussmannian buildings, shops, sidewalk cafés, and historic Parisian domes rising in the distance. Here, wizards and non-magiques alike will be enamored with the majestic grandeur and enchanting ambiance of the city as they cast dazzling spells throughout the magical streets using interactive wands, encounter fantastic beasts at a traveling circus, and – for the first time ever within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – travel across countries and time to 1990s London using the Métro-Floo for a thrilling adventure set inside the iconic British Ministry of Magic.

 The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic will feature the unmatched levels of immersion and attention to detail fans have come to expect from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Below is a look at the exciting new wonders waiting to be discovered in this spectacular new world:

Le Cirque Arcanus

This spectacular show features live performers and aerialists, amazing puppetry, brilliant special effects and more to take guests on a whirlwind journey where they’ll encounter fantastic beasts like never before. The show follows Ringmaster Skender, who has stolen Newt Scamander’s suitcase – where Demiguise, Diricawl, Mooncalves and more reside – to try and bring the failing Le Cirque Arcanus back to its former glory. It’s then up to circus employee Gwenlyn to rescue these creatures before they end up in Skender’s greedy hands forever.

Inspiring Wand Magic

As guests explore the streets of wizarding Paris, they can use their interactive wands to create magical experiences as they cast spells at various locations, interact with fantastic beasts such as Nifflers, Bowtruckles and a Demiguise, and engage with enchanted objects in many of the storefront windows plus other areas throughout the marvelous Place Cachée.

Captivating Entertainment

While exploring the streets of Place Cachée, guests will also encounter other visitors, officials and residents from the wizarding world, including exchange Students from the Hogwarts and Ilvermorny Schools of Witchcraft and Wizardy, an Auror from the Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France who roams inquiring of suspicious characters, talking portraits of delightful wizards who engage with locals about the happenings in Place Cachée, and more.

Dining at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

Guests can also enjoy delicious international fare and shop for souvenirs and merchandise during their visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic at highly-themed dining and retail locations, including: 

Café L'Air De La Sirène

A wonder of French architecture adorned with fabulous carved marble and details of fantastic beasts hidden in the tile and mosaic designs, Café L’air De La Sirène is a charming café where guests can delight in French sandwiches, plats du jour and desserts.

Le Gobelet Noir

In the shadowy corners of Place Cachée is a mysterious timeworn auberge, where international Dark witches and wizards gather to escape the prying eyes of the Paris Ministry and have a hearty meal over hushed conversation. Menu offerings include starters such as soups and salads as well as a variety of entrées and desserts.

Bar Moonshine 

American witches and wizards can enjoy a taste of home at Bar Moonshine, where they’ll find exclusive beers, wines and cocktails served amid U.S. Quidditch team pennants and other items of wizarding Americana. 

Bièraubeurre Cart  

No visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is complete without Butterbeer! Guests can stop by the Bièraubeurre cart during their visit to Place Cachée for a frosty, delicious mug of the fan-favorite beverage.

Souvenirs and Merchandise at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

Guests can also shop for wizarding gear and memorabilia in Les Galeries Mirifiques, satisfy their sweet tooth at the French confectionary shop, K. Rammelle, or make a stop for Ministry of Magic-inspired items at the Métro-Floo gift shop, Tour En Floo.

World Television Day

For those of us who grew up in the western countries, the television is almost taken for granted; it has always been there in the corner of the front room, entertaining us with bright colors and sounds, or satisfying our need to learn something new. The television, invented by an assortment of individuals in the late 19th and early 20th century, but often attributed to John Logie Baird, has revolutionized the world.

For the first time moving images could be adequately projected from around the world into the homes of ordinary people, bringing a new level of access to information and entertainment previously only dreamed of. The social and political changes brought about by this innovation were so profound that it was decided to appreciate the medium formally, on a global scale.

The first World Television Forum was staged by the United Nations in the mid ’90s, and it was out of this event that World Television Day was born. The forum brought together leading figures from the media industry to analyze the growing impact that TV had on decision-making and public opinion when it comes to issues of peace and security around the planet.

History of World Television Day

In December 1996 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the 21st of November World Television Day, the same year the first World Television Forum was held. According to the United Nations, this decision was taken in order to give recognition to the increasing impact television has had on decision-making by bringing various conflicts and threats to peace and security to the world’s attention, as well as its coverage of other major issues, including economic and social.

Prior to this people received information via radio broadcasting, if a household was equipped with a transistor radio, and the newspapers. Early television broadcasts followed the same format as radio, with a man reading a simple bulletin on a black and white screen. The technology however soon evolved to include images of events and interviews with people. The monochrome style was abandoned when color technology was developed in the mid to late sixties, and TV technology continues to advance with evermore sophisticated optics and digital enhancements.

However, World Television Day is not meant to be so much a celebration of the electronic tool itself, but rather of the philosophy which it represents–a philosophy of openness and transparency of world issues. Television has long been thought to represent communication and globalization in the contemporary world, but not all of the government representatives present saw matters quite that way.

The delegation from Germany said, “Television is only one means of information and an information medium to which a considerable majority of the world population has no access… That vast majority could easily look at World Television Day as a rich man’s day. They do not have access to television. There is more important information in the media and here I would mention radio in particular.”

Despite this understandable objection, the television has still been an instrumental innovation for humanity, in the same category as the printing press, radio communication, and the internet. World Television Day is a chance for us to appreciate not only the extraordinary technological ingenuity of the scientist and engineers who made seemingly impossible things happen but also to understand the social and cultural implications that such a unifying medium has had on our global communities.

The internet has connected us in ways we didn’t expect and perhaps could not have imagined, but on World Television Day we remember that television was there first, and paved the way for what was to come.

How to celebrate World Television Day

The most obvious way to celebrate World Television Day is by watching television. But what? Surely not vulgar reality shows offering little to no value of any kind to their audience? World Television Day is a time to rewatch and relive some of the greatest moments of television that helped bring the reality of a rapidly technologically advancing world into people’s homes, forever changing their lives and how they perceived the world.

1954 marked the launch of Disney’s “Wonderful World of Color”, a family-friendly variety program that mixed iconic cartoons, drama and documentary programming. The very first televised presidential debate between Republican Vice President Richard Nixon and his challenger, relatively unknown Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy in 1960 changed the presidential elections forever.

For the first time ever, American voters actually saw the candidates present their ideas, which worked greatly in favor of the young and handsome Kennedy, who went on to win the election. And few moments, if any, in television history could ever surpass Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Ed “Buzz” Aldrin’s moon landing in 1969, which many people consider to be a pivotal moment in their lives until this very day–after that, nothing was going to be impossible again.

World Television Day was established as a way of bringing the focus back to these issues on an annual basis. In years gone by, major TV stations have come together on the day to broadcast tributes to the importance of television in people’s lives. The obvious way for anyone to celebrate is to turn on their TV and watch.

But you don’t have to rely on broadcasting networks to bring you ideas of what to watch on World Television Day. These days our television sets are also internet compatible, allowing us to access a range of content suitable to our specific interests, whether they be educational or for entertainment value. It’s easy to use your television set to look up a historical documentary giving you a window into the past or choose a cultural figure who was influential in her time and changed the world in some way. In doing so you will be in keeping with the true purpose of television media, to educate and inspire.

But if you would rather be entertained, why not select a classic film from the Hollywood archives and imagine you are watching it for the first time, as a member of the original audience. Feeling adventurous? Go all out and dress up in period costumes as well, turn World Television Day into an annual event that you and your friends can enjoy planning months in advance.

Those that want to become more involved and have ideas about how to honor the day are welcomed to send their thoughts to the official website.

At its first-ever fashion show on Tuesday, cashmere line Lingua Franca didn’t send a single sweater hand-embroidered with a cheeky phrase — its best-known item — down the runway. Instead, its collection was inspired by the brand signatures of the show’s setting, New York’s Bowery Hotel.Model Pat Cleveland danced down the runway in a teddy-inspired shearling coat and hat, a nod to the teddy bears the hotel leaves on each bed, while former J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons wore a red jacket and top hat mimicking the hotel logo. Plenty of models sported sweaters knitted with the hotel’s logo. It’s just the latest brand to not only align itself with a hotel to drive buzz but take a more creative approach in doing so. Fashion brand Frame was one of the first of this most recent series of fashion-hotel match-ups, inking a still-ongoing partnership with the Ritz Paris in 2021. Since then, sportswear brand Sporty & Rich, swimwear label Minnow, pyjama brand Petite Plume and more have rolled out their own collections with top-tier hotels, including The Carlyle on New York’s Upper East Side; Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France; and The Colony in Palm Beach, Florida. Fashion brands are so obsessed with hotel-inspired merchandise, they’re even making it for fictional properties: Fans of HBO’s hit series “The White Lotus” can buy a branded sweatshirt printed with a “The White Lotus Resort & Spa” logo at Bloomingdale’s, or a kaftan and swimsuit in a bold tropical print (in the style of those worn by Jennifer Coolidge’s character in the series) from resortwear label Camilla.Stylish takes on branded merch are a major element of these collabs — think sweatshirts and T-shirts emblazoned with an iconic property’s logo — but so are items inspired by a hotel’s aesthetic or visual cues. The idea is to give travel-obsessed consumers something they’ll want to wear long after they check out — or even if they never check in in the first place. “Branded and destination merch is nothing new,” said Mandi Meng, area director of marketing and communications for Auberge Resorts Collection, which teamed up with Markarian designer Alexandra O’Neill to oversee the holiday decor of its Mayflower Inn property in Washington, Connecticut, and Max Mara to deck the halls of its Hotel Jerome property in Aspen. “I have 500 tote bags from everywhere I’ve been. Do I actually use those? Probably not. But being able to take that concept and create things that people actually want to wear and use is really special.” The hotels brands gravitate to usually have a storied reputation and a built-in fanbase beyond their guest list, whether it’s someone who wishes The White Lotus were a real hotel chain or dreams about staying at The Carlyle but can’t yet afford the $1,000-plus nightly rate. Plus, they can provide brands with a new space to share their collections that feels naturally aligned with their offering.Minnow, for instance, partnered with Auberge Resorts Collection on an après-ski collection including base layers, knits and swimwear. The collab launched at Auberge’s Madeline property in Telluride, Colorado, with a series of activations like an ice-skating rink and s’mores by the hotel’s Alpine Swim Club. The hope, said Minnow founder Morgan Smith, is to give their customer an experience “outside of products.” “You need to be in your customer’s life with many touchpoints so you’re top of mind,” said Frame’s founder, Erik Torstensson. “Otherwise, the competition is tough.”Weaving a Shared IdentityThe best hotel partnerships create a unique product or format that merges the two distinct brand worlds.Sporty & Rich, for instance, created sweats, caps and even pyjamas for historic French luxury hotels like Le Bristol in Paris and Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, as well as The Carlyle. Through partnering with the 10-year-old brand, which was founded by influencer Emily Oberg, these more old-school hotels can better appeal to younger consumers, while the brand can target its own aspirational shoppers.“Those partnerships put Le Bristol somewhere it’s not expected,” said Thomas Matteï, head of marketing, brand and e-commerce for Le Bristol. “We are 100 years old. We know our roots, so we can go a little bit further in collaborations. We are not afraid to shake the old lady a little bit.”Brands are also getting creative in how they bring a hotel to life through products. For its fourth collection with the Ritz Paris, released in December, Frame took a similar approach through a collection of wearable pieces meant to fit in at the hotel’s famed Hemingway Bar. While some were more overtly branded — think a sweater featuring the Ritz Paris logo — there were also more subtle approaches, like a pair of jeans embellished with minimalist “Ritz” hardware and embroidery. Fragrance label D.S. & Durga even formulated a custom scent for The Carlyle that is also infused in the hotel’s shower products, as well as carried in the brand’s stores nationwide.“These are absolute luxury experiences. They deserve more thought than just putting a logo on some chocolates,” said Torstensson.The Right to Play in New SpacesThese partnerships also give the fashion brands in question the ability to extend their presence into new markets. For example, by partnering with the Ritz Paris, which is well-known internationally, Frame was confident in opening a pop-up in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates, giving the brand greater exposure in a burgeoning market.For Petite Plume, which has made custom pyjamas for elevated yet family-friendly properties like Eden Rock in St Barths, The Colony and San Diego’s Hotel del Coronado, they’re an opportunity to catch customers when they are in a “lounging mindset,” said the brand’s CMO, Fanny Quehe.“We’re getting to the right demographic in the right context …How many times have you slept in a really amazing hotel and said, ‘Oh my God, these sheets are amazing. I wish I could get them at home. What brand are they?’” said Quehe. For some brands, partnerships don’t include hotel-branded merch at all, but are rather a way to build alternative opportunities to engage their audiences. The Carlyle, for example, teamed up with luxury e-tailer Mytheresa to bring a pop-up version of its famed Bemelmans Bar to Aspen later this month. On site, a selection of luxury après-ski pieces curated by Mytheresa will be available for purchase. “When you’re seated at the table and you’ve got your martini, there’s this little button on the table that says ‘press for fashion,’ and along comes this bar cart … It is the most fabulous edit of luxury style,” said Jacqui Cox, head of marketing and communications for The Carlyle. It’s all a way to keep customers engaged by showing up in more and more of their favourite places. Auberge’s Meng said these sort of partnerships are “the future of marketing.” “It becomes a really cohesive story, and also it feels like an organic experience, as opposed to just something that’s sponsored or paid,” she said.

At its first-ever fashion show on Tuesday, cashmere line Lingua Franca didn’t send a single sweater hand-embroidered with a cheeky phrase — its best-known item — down the runway. Instead, its collection was inspired by the brand signatures of the show’s setting, New York’s Bowery Hotel.Model Pat Cleveland danced down the runway in a teddy-inspired shearling coat and hat, a nod to the teddy bears the hotel leaves on each bed, while former J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons wore a red jacket and top hat mimicking the hotel logo. Plenty of models sported sweaters knitted with the hotel’s logo. It’s just the latest brand to not only align itself with a hotel to drive buzz but take a more creative approach in doing so. Fashion brand Frame was one of the first of this most recent series of fashion-hotel match-ups, inking a still-ongoing partnership with the Ritz Paris in 2021. Since then, sportswear brand Sporty & Rich, swimwear label Minnow, pyjama brand Petite Plume and more have rolled out their own collections with top-tier hotels, including The Carlyle on New York’s Upper East Side; Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France; and The Colony in Palm Beach, Florida. Fashion brands are so obsessed with hotel-inspired merchandise, they’re even making it for fictional properties: Fans of HBO’s hit series “The White Lotus” can buy a branded sweatshirt printed with a “The White Lotus Resort & Spa” logo at Bloomingdale’s, or a kaftan and swimsuit in a bold tropical print (in the style of those worn by Jennifer Coolidge’s character in the series) from resortwear label Camilla.Stylish takes on branded merch are a major element of these collabs — think sweatshirts and T-shirts emblazoned with an iconic property’s logo — but so are items inspired by a hotel’s aesthetic or visual cues. The idea is to give travel-obsessed consumers something they’ll want to wear long after they check out — or even if they never check in in the first place. “Branded and destination merch is nothing new,” said Mandi Meng, area director of marketing and communications for Auberge Resorts Collection, which teamed up with Markarian designer Alexandra O’Neill to oversee the holiday decor of its Mayflower Inn property in Washington, Connecticut, and Max Mara to deck the halls of its Hotel Jerome property in Aspen. “I have 500 tote bags from everywhere I’ve been.
