| | rantnrave:// Hope you caught up on your REDEF this weekend... Happy Monday!... Some say ARI EMANUEL is the best agent that ever lived. He follows the money well. And certainly seems to be transitioning WME-IMG for the new world. They just bought UFC for $4 Billion. With that covered we at REDEF are hoping that he turns his attentions to the elevator system in his building. I wait too long. It's overthinking the problem with one of those smart elevator systems that tells you which one to walk into. All the agents miss them as they are on their mobile devices. Ari, you don't read REDEF, but if you see this, it's constructive criticism. Please don't hurt my acting career... How great is LIEV SHREIBER's walk and gait in RAY DONOVAN... Yes, everything is a test... Apologies if your email is clipping, we are working on the issue with our vendor... Happy Birthday to DAN DOCTOROFF, RAMY ADEEB and AVI SAVAR. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| Among the many things New Yorkers pride ourselves on is food: making it, selling it and consuming only the best, from single-slice pizza to four-star sushi. We have fish markets, Shake Shacks and, as of this year, 74 Michelin-starred restaurants. Yet most everything we eat is fraudulent. | | |

| We've passed a significant milestone in consumer adoption of virtual and augmented reality - although it's clear that we're a few models away from a truly refined VR/AR experience. However, with VR and AR poised to become a mainstream force, it's the opportune time to think about how kids will interact with these technologies. | | |

| Britain's vote to ditch the European Union offers the chance of a new beginning - not just for the EU, and the U.K., but for Africa. Since most countries on the continent gained independence in the 1960s and 1970s, they have mindlessly mimicked Western political institutions. | | |

| A goal in any sport is a hard thing to manage-or better be. Goals that are easy are hardly goals at all. Like walk-a-thons, they are merely directed action. But soccer is perhaps the game wherein goals are hardest to come by. | | |
