Far from the usual teen coming-of-age film, this is an interesting comedy-drama with an arresting protagonist — a teenage girl (Hailee Steinfeld) who is outgoing and loquacious but also troubled and spiraling downward. Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig... Читать дальше...

Los Cabos’ recovery from the ravages of Hurricane Odile in September 2014 has a familiar ring: a history-making storm, abject hardship, obstinate resilience and a lightning-quick rebound. Like Cancún in the wake of Hurricane Wilma in 2005, Los Cabos has seized the opportunity to temper its renowned party-hearty madness by up-scaling. Not only has it undertaken renovations, it is adding such icons of luxury as Vievage Los Cabos from Auberge resorts, the stylish JW Marriott, Ritz-Carlton Reserve and Starwood’s Solaz.

Congress is sending President Barack Obama a defense policy bill that seeks to give Republicans the final word on key national security issues. The legislation bars the Pentagon from trimming the military's sprawling constellation of bases and facilities, even though senior U.S. defense officials say there is excess capacity.
