Oh Hi 👋 and happy almost Fall. Haven’t been on here in forever! What a day ……anyone else?!! Had a lot of questions after my last story about fitness over 50 and happy to share! I am fortunate to work with a personal trainer who pushes me. Nutrition, motivates me and always strives to show me what I can do to improve….although sometimes I wanna tell him to #foff not gonna lie 😂 @jl_fitness__ Almost 3 years ago I had never set foot inside a gym and now it’s just a part of everyday life ~ which is amazing! One of the best things I’ve ever done for me is to take charge of my health and learn about my body and what I can do to improve my wellness. I am now 52 and in the best shape of my life ~ so reminder it’s never too late to look after you. When you feel good on the inside it translates to the outside 🫶 Happy last day of Summer….not quite ready to let it go here either 😎 All the strong XO’s your way! • • • • • • #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessover50 #bestrong #beyourbestself #personaltraining #personaltrainers #goodlifefitness #doitforyourself #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggerca #yycblogger #beautyover50 #bebeautiful #bestrong #besmart #behealthybehappy #feelgoodaboutyourself #yyclife #yyclifestyle #behappywithyourself #behappyandsmile #doyouboo #happyfallyall (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiwS2kkrxCe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Emma.” Review

Emma. (PG)

Directed by Autumn de Wilde

2020

There is so much to love here. Music, set design, costumes, cinematography, performances. The whole thing is so pleasant to look at. It’s incredibly commendable that Autumn de Wilde was able to get all this so right on her debut film, adapting what could be seen as a difficult novel to adapt. 

“Emma” the novel features a character that’s not entirely endearing, and in previous adaptations might even be percieved as ignorant, cold, and altogether unlikeable. De Wilde’s adaptation is far removed from these, though still very close to the nature of the character. While Emma tends towards ignorance, it generally stems from her inexperience through her age or social standing. Her flaws are the fault of misplaced naïveté, and we grow more understanding of them as we get to know her character. 

A great deal of credit goes to Anya Taylor Joy’s lead performance, seeming at once to contain the youthful wit of the character, down to her mannerisms and expressions. It brings a sense of ironical reflection on the source material, freeing it from the more rigid adaptations of Austen’s work in the past. There seems to be a general sense of levity and fun throughout the film, making it hard not to enjoy. Taylor Joy is supported by an equally impressive performance from Johnny Flynn, whose Mr. Knightely immediately establishes a sharp banter and foil to Emma. 

In addition to all this great stuff, Emma is also accompanied by a stellar soundtrack, as some choice English folk tunes accompany Isobel Waller-Bridge’s choral score. At the heart of it all is Johnny Flynn himself, lending his harmonious pipes to a song in the film and writing and performing a solid end credits piece. 

All in all, this film was such a joyous watch, and stands out as the best adaptation of the novel to date. Yes, even more than Clueless.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m gonna to introduce you to the “Peace bridge”

It was designed by an Spanish architect, named Santiago Calatrava.

The tubular bridge was manufactured in Spain and shipped to Calgary. However, during a weld inspection, it was discovered that some of the welds didn’t comply with the Canadian quality standards. As a result, an independent company was hired to do more thorough inspection of the welds completed in Spain.

The colours of the bridge (white and red), represented the flag of Calgary and Canada. The design is focused on asymmetric shapes anchored by high mast.

Many people criticized the huge amount of money that the city’s capital budget provided for the project, due to the final cost is projected to be over $30,400 per square metre.

Even though, we all love to watch, walk through and take some pictures of the Peace Bridge.

The Bow River would be the same without this coloured bridge.
