Bruce Springsteen’s Exuberant Soul Cover, and 10 More New Songs  The New York Times
source

English majors and Jane Austen fans came together for a night of seventeenth-century fun held by BYU’s English Society on Oct. 27. Fans and participants came together in Regency dresses, gloves and British accents. 
The night was complete with desserts, games and discussions about the various Jane Austen books. Austen’s most famous book, Pride and Prejudice, has been adapted over a hundred times and made into a movie 17 times.
BYU’s College of Humanities supports the English Society events and views them as a way to promote belonging and unity. Guests of the party left the event hoping to attend another one. BYU’s English Society hopes this Jane Austen tea party will become an annual event.
BYU Music Dance Theatre alumnus, Dayne Joyner, will join the Broadway touring production of “The Sound of Music.” He will play the role of Franz the butler and the understudy for Maximilian Detweiler. The show will travel for performances in Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. 
Joyner has been preparing and working towards this since graduating from BYU in 2019. Joyner was first introduced to theatre and Broadway when his family would watch the touring productions as a young kid. 
“It is special to me that I have the chance to be part of a Broadway touring production, and to travel around inspiring young performers and artists like I was,” Joyner said.
With an appreciation for theatre, Joyner is excited to explore Asia and share his love for performing.

Washburn High School produced its version of "Spring Awakening"
As high schools in Minnesota open their fall plays, many are producing classics, like Shakespeare or movie adaptations. One Minneapolis public school, Washburn High School is performing “Spring Awakening,” the 2007 Tony award-winning musical that tackles teen pregnancy, suicide, and family abuse. Some may think the mature themes inappropriate for a high school production.
Director John Lynn has a different take.
“This show’s about people not talking and that youth want these answers and they're not getting them,” he explained as a reason for staging “Spring Awakening.”
Lynn took into consideration the sexual nature of the show and hired an intimacy coordinator to ensure the safety of his students in those scenes. He also chose to take a more abstract approach to the show, rather than stage the more explicit moments. He considers the production on the level of a PG-13 movie.
Senior Marcus Williams, who plays a character who takes his life — an act that is signaled but not shown — said the production team helped make acting in the drama a positive experience.
“The adults have been super awesome,” Williams said. “Everybody’s making sure that we’re comfortable with doing the stuff.”

Lynn also brought in a professional choreographer. With the extra moving parts, the show has been a major undertaking. Lynn is an English teacher, not a full-time theater instructor, and while he has the support of Washburn’s administration, he says his funding is limited.
In an email Washburn Principal Emily Palmer said that the high school’s annual budget goes toward paying staff and faculty, while their theater program is primarily funded by ticket sales and parent support.
“Not every school sees value in the arts. Some schools only see the value in music or in visual art,” said Gregg Sawyer, president of the Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota and a theater teacher at Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield. “Theater educators, in the high schools particularly, tend to be a one-man band.”
Even though John Lynn says funding for future shows at Washburn is reliant on ticket sales, but what is best for his students’ growth decides the shows they produce.
“People say ‘Well, why don’t you do something that our children can come to see?’ Lynn said, “I had to remind people that this is educational theater. My first responsibility always is to the students.”
Washburn junior Catie Bair plays Wendla Bergmann. Getting to do a show like this has given her the opportunity to talk about real-life issues cast members and classmates face.
“There’s always been this talk around it, and now I feel like I actually have a chance to express everything that’s been in my life,” she said. “It’s just been pretty therapeutic.”

The City of Evanston, in coordination with Hey and Associates Inc., will host a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16 in Room 2404 of the Morton Civic Center to give an update on the Stormwater Master Plan project. At the meeting, staff will provide an overview of the project, updates on the current status and next steps. 
Over the past two years, the city has contracted with the Chicago engineering firm of Hey and Associates to create a hydraulic and hydrologic model to analyze the city’s stormwater system. This model will be used to evaluate the city’s existing stormwater performance as well as the system’s resilience to future conditions.
The Stormwater Master Plan is one component of the city’s Climate Action and Resilience Plan.

For over 20 years, the Evanston RoundTable has met the needs of our city through its award-winning journalism. Is it a stretch to say we’re the best local community paper in northern Illinois?

New York is already home to one of the oldest populations in the nation – a trend that is about to speed up and put a strain on the state’s resources.
Under a plan announced Friday, it aims to not only be ready to handle the challenges that will bring, but to help seniors thrive.
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday laid the groundwork for a New York Master Plan for Aging that will foster more collaboration and innovation to support the health and well-being of older state residents and their loved ones.
“We continue to take important steps to empower and support older New Yorkers,” Hochul said, announcing she signed an executive order directing the state Department of Health and Office of Aging to lead the effort. “This Master Plan for Aging will provide us with tools to ensure our aging New Yorkers have access to quality long-term care in healthy, livable communities where they can thrive.”
Shortage of home care aides:Home care crisis leaves New Yorkers without aides and families face burnout
The two state agencies will lead a council with input from leaders in the aging fields to forge a roadmap to improve, not replace, existing efforts in a state where one-quarter of residents are expected to be 60 and older by the end of the decade.
“This is a landmark moment for New York’s older adults and all people who value healthy aging across the state,” said Nora OBrien-Suric, president of the Health Foundation for Western & Central New York, which focuses on supporting programs for children and older adults, as well as health and racial equity in health care.
The foundation helped meld more than 80 aging-focused organizations across New York into a bipartisan, independent New York Sate Master Plan for Aging Coalition. Members signed a letter last December encouraging New York to join Colorado, Texas and Massachusetts, which have already committed to a master plan for aging, as well as California, the first to finish one in January 2021.
Hochul included the idea in her State of the State address and as a line in the state budget. She signed her executive order on Older New Yorkers’ Day, as well as the fourth day of National Family Caregivers Month.
“Caregiving has emerged as a central issue in aging, because of the rapid growth of the number of people who are caregivers,” said Robert Blancato, coordinator of the state master plan coalition and the national Elder Justice Coalition. “There are 40 million Americans who have some caregiving responsibilities, but we are so far behind in recognizing that from a policy perspective.”
The state plan will focus on how services are coordinated, delivered and financed to better meet the needs of older adults and their families.
Nursing homes’ staffing struggles:Nursing homes can’t find caregivers. Sending nursing assistants back to school could help
Long COVID and caregiving:Long COVID survivors seek support, treatment from NY and federal programs
In 2017, New York became the first state to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, and works with the nonprofit organization to make the state more attractive for housing, transportation, jobs and other needs important to those 50 and older who make up 36% of the state population and plow more than $700 billion a year into the state economy.  
Adults older than 60 provide nearly $500 million hours of community service each year at an economic value of $13.8 billion. Roughly two-thirds also own homes and have no mortgage, the Hochul administration said in making the Friday announcement. 
The state Department of Health created an Office of Aging and Long-Term Care in July to address the administration’s goal of “a long-term care system that is accessible, effective and affordable, a system that will recognize the unique needs and expectations of each of the individuals it serves,” said state Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett, who will lead the Master Plan for Aging Council.
Blancato, also a member of the national AARP board, told The Buffalo News that only 5% of older American adults live in nursing homes, underlining the need of aging in place with necessary services.
“This is really about providing the necessary infrastructure to allow them to stay in New York, whether it’s better housing, better roads, better services, whatever it may be,” he said. “Support for caregivers is at the heart and soul because it’s one of the bigger challenges in the field of aging.”
He said he also hopes the plan will address more effective ways to confront elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.
People live longer than they used to, but the idea behind this plan is to create a longer “health span” for older New Yorkers, allowing them to enjoy a higher quality of life for longer, said Ann Marie Cook, President and CEO of Lifespan, a Rochester-based organization that supports older adults and caregivers. Cook is on the steering committee for the Master Plan for the Aging.
“We all need to take as many preventative measures as possible, and decrease that time in which we really need a lot of supportive care,” Cook said. “You have people living a really long time with chronic conditions, so if they’re going to have those chronic conditions, how do we help them live their best life?”
Additionally, many older adults donate their time as volunteers and make an immense positive impact in their communities, she said, noting that Lifespan has about 300 volunteers at any given time − all of them older adults. This plan will support their ability to use their time and skills in that way if they choose, she added.
The Master Plan for Aging Coalition hopes to work closely with state agency leaders who make up the Master Plan Council.
Coalition members include leaders and members of community organizations, long-term care advocates and providers, foundations, academic institutions, groups interested in racial and socioeconomic justice, paid and family caregiver organizations, county offices for the aging, and several national aging organizations and coalitions.
Those groups hope a plan will be in place by 2024.
The clock is ticking.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated four years ago that there will be more adults 65 and older in America than children by 2035. The 85-and-older population will likely more than double from 6.6 million before the pandemic to 14.4 million in 2040.
“With this swelling number of older adults, the country could see greater demands for healthcare, in-home caregiving and assisted living facilities,” the Census Bureau reported. “It could also affect Social Security.”
Before the pandemic, 51% of those 65 and older lived in nine states: California (5.8 million), Florida (4.5 million), Texas (3.7 million), New York (3.3 million), Pennsylvania (2.4 million), Ohio (2 million), Illinois (2 million), Michigan (1.8 million) and North Carolina (1.8 million), according to a 2021 report from the federal Administration for Community Living.
Pressure in those states and across the country will grow in every sector, Blancato said, hitting health care, housing, transportation, insurance, business and government hardest.
That is why planning matters, he said.
“State agencies in New York are doing activities that would fit into a master plan,” Blancato said, “so it isn’t like you’d have to start from scratch. What you need is to be able to coordinate what you’re doing in such a way that it produces better results and outcomes.”

TORONTO — An earnings boost from wider margins helped push up shares of EQ Bank owner Equitable Group Inc. by more than 12 per cent Wednesday.

The jump came as the bank reported record third quarter earnings of $77.6 million, up from $72.5 million for the same quarter last year.

Earnings got a boost from a adjusted net interest margin of 1.94 per cent that was higher than any quarter in the bank’s history and 0.13 of a percentage point higher than the last quarter.

The jump was also well ahead of the bank’s 2022 guidance of flat to moderate growth.

“I think perhaps we were a touch cautious in projecting that to the Street until we actually saw it manifest,” said Andrew Moor, chief executive, on an earnings call.

The bank benefited on the margins with a strategy of being more nimble and responsive to rising interest rates, he said.

“It’s been a good management approach to take very little interest rate position.”

The bank, which last week closed a $495 million takeover of Concentra Bank, saw its share close up $5.55, or 12.24 per cent, to $50.88 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on a day that saw markets generally down.

Earnings for the quarter ending Sept. 30 worked out to $2.22 per diluted share, up from $2.07 per share last year, while adjusted diluted earnings were $2.35 per share.

Analysts had been expecting adjusted earnings of $2.11 per diluted share, according to financial markets data form Refinitiv.

Scotiabank analyst Meny Grauman said in a note that while markdowns on Equitable’s fintech investment portfolio did weight, it was more than cancelled out by margin expansion.

“While that charge did indeed come in as we had expected, it was overwhelmed by very significant sequential margin expansion and elevated securitization revenue that completely took us by surprise.”

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 9, 2022.

The BBC has announced that it will air a brand new four-part music documentary boxset featuring and executive produced by Hip Hop legend, Chuck D, called Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World.
The BBC has announced that it will air a brand new four-part music documentary boxset featuring and executive produced by Hip Hop legend, Chuck D, called Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World. Developed by Chuck D and his producing partner, Lorrie Boula, the series will air on BBC Two and drop as a box-set on BBC iPlayer on January 21st. It has been co-produced by BBC Studios and PBS.
Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World will tell the story of the relationship between politics and the Hip Hop movement, recounting the origins of the revolutionary artform through first-hand accounts and charting the journey of how Hip Hop became a cultural phenomenon, against a backdrop of social and political American history.
Throughout the series, the way in which Hip Hop quickly created a provocative narrative of America is explored by weaving together interconnected moments via intimate interviews with integral players in the movement and archival footage.
Hip Hop luminaries featured in the series include B-Real from Cypress Hill, DMC, Eminem, Ice-T, Fat Joe, KRS-One, LL COOL J, MC Lyte, Monie Love, Abiodun Oyewole, Roxanne Shanté, and Will.I.Am as well as other culture figures such as Rev Al Sharpton, Sway Calloway, Walter “Hawk” Newsome, Nelson George, Dr Rosa Alicia Clemente, Lee Quiñones (influential New York graffiti artist), Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Michael Holman, Ernie Paniccioli, Dan Charnas, Shinese Harlins-Kilgore, Soren Baker, Dancin’ Doug Colón (one of the original b-boys), Leah Wright Rigueur, and more.
Grammy award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chuck D was at the vanguard of how Hip Hop became a platform for political expression and a vessel toward social justice. As co-founder of Public Enemy, Chuck explores the lessons in Black history and consciousness that his music dispatched while striving to dismantle racial constructs.
Fight The Power, Public Enemy’s groundbreaking single released in 1989, became an anthem that called for unity against oppression and continues to resonate to this day. It is often called the most important Hip Hop song of all time, is in the Library of Congress and was named the #2 Greatest Song of All Time in 2021 by Rolling Stone.
Chuck D says: “The Hip Hop community has, from the start, been doing what the rest of media is only now catching up to. Long before any conglomerate realized it was time to wake up, Hip Hop had been speaking out and telling truths. Working with PBS and the BBC is an opportunity to deliver these messages through new ways and help explain Hip Hop’s place in history and hopefully inspire us all to take it further.”
Max Gogarty, Commissioning Editor, BBC, says: “Hip Hop is one of the most influential and culturally defining movements of our time and we feel privileged to be able to bring this story to audiences, in collaboration with one of its founding figures – Chuck D. We’re grateful to all of the contributors in this series and our partners PBS who have helped tell this important story”.
Fight the Power is a BBC Studios Docs production for BBC Music and BBC Two in partnership with PBS. It was commissioned by Lorna Clarke, Director of Music and the Commissioning editor is Max Gogarty. Executive Producers include Chuck D, Lorrie Boula, Anna Sadowy and Danielle Peck. Shianne Brown is the Producer, Series Producer is Helen Bart and Series Director is Yemi Bamiro. The Executive for PBS is Bill Gardner.

PENAMPANG (Nov 13): GRS candidate for Penampang, Kenny Chua, says no amount of personal attacks to assassinate his character will stop him from fulfilling the people’s wishes for change in the parliamentary.
“Some people have tried everything to tarnish my image so that the people in Penampang won’t vote for me and GRS. One of them is an old audio recording of my outburst.
“But I can tell you that voters in Penampang have had enough. They want change. They want solutions to so many problems. I offer myself to fulfill their wishes. People can level personal attacks on me. I don’t care. What I care about is the future of Penampang and the people,” he said.
Chua said this in response to an audio recording of his outburst that is being widely circulated via WhatsApp. In the audio recording, Chua can be heard scolding a person who had falsely accused him of being involved in drugs.
He explained that it was an old audio recording, made more than a year ago, and was nothing more than a personal matter between him and a former PBS man.
“Whoever put it out there is obviously trying to destroy my image and get supporters of PBS, which is a GRS component party, to vote against me.
“Well, I can confirm that all the GRS election machinery members, including the PBS, have been in high spirits and working hard as a solid team to win Penampang for the people,” he said.
He said he had lodged a police report about the audio recording on Sunday.
Chua, however, apologised if the audio has offended and caused confusion to the people. But he condemned any acts to sabotage his campaign, create enmity among the GRS component parties and destroy his image.
In the mean time, Chua said that despite being an underdog, the GRS is gaining strong support from the people in the parliamentary constituency, including in Kepayan which is known to be a DAP and Pakatan Harapan stronghold.
He noted that there are strong indications that the majority Chinese voters in the state constituency will vote for someone they can identify themselves with.
“One of the main issues in Kepayan, and for that matter Penampang, is that the people hardly see their MP and elected assemblyman around. They only get to see them on special occasions. Even so, they often send their representatives.
“They say we can complain about floods, traffic jam, lack of development and opportunities in Penampang. But all these would go nowhere if they can’t even meet their MP and ADUN (assemblyman),” he said.
Being a Sino-Kadazan, Chua said he is able to relate to the aspirations of the Chinese-majority Kapayan and Kadazandusun-majority Moyog, both state constituencies in the Penampang parliamentary.
If Chua wins the seat, he will be the first Sino-Kadazan MP for Penampang.
Meanwhile, many people in Penampang who have listened to Kenny’s speech during his campaign trail said Penampang needs a strong and vocal leader in parliament.
“Penampang is home to so many people who are holding high positions in government and in the private sectors. It is also home to so many successful people in the business world. They are intelligent individuals who understand the workings of a government. They have vision of what Penampang should be and could become.
“Chua’s character fits well with the kind of leader people in Penampang have always hoped for. They want someone who can articulate the needs and vision of the electorates to the powers that be. He dares to speak up. And most importantly, he will get things done,” said a former senior civil servant.

With an appealing location, two multifamily properties in West New York secured $18.3 million in financing, part of which will aid the construction of a new, 48-unit community.
JLL Capital Markets represented a private developer to secure a three-year, floating-rate construction loan for $11.8 million through Cathay Bank for 6116 Harrison, the company announced Nov. 8, along with representing the borrower to arrange a 10-year, fixed-rate loan through TD Bank of $6.5 million for the refinancing of The Madison.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the unnamed borrower was led by Managing Director Matthew Pizzolato, Director Max Custer, Associate Gerard Quinn and Analyst Salvatore Buzzerio.
“Local and regional banks continue to be one of the most liquid parts of the market, and we saw no shortage of interest from them on these two deals,” Pizzolato said in a statement.
TD Bank NA is based in Cherry Hill.
6116 Harrison will rise at 6116 Harrison Place in West New York. – JLL
The Madison is a multifamily property located at 529 61st St. in West New York. – JLL
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Located within a half mile of each other – at 6116 Harrison Place and 529 61st St., respectively – the communities are 1 mile from the Bergenline Avenue NJ Transit Station, along with the local shops, bars and restaurants located on the city’s “Miracle Mile,” Bergenline Avenue. According to Hudson County, the stretch features more than 300 businesses.
Both communities offer units with hardwood-style flooring, quartz countertops, stainless-steel kitchen appliances and in-unit washers and dryers, in addition to community amenities, including fitness centers and garage parking.

Houston is filled with so much promising talent from all backgrounds and genres. Many amazing musicians go unnoticed and only a select few make it to the top. Dyllyn is definitely one of those rising artists to keep an eye on in the Houston music scene.
Dyllyn is a multifaceted artist, writer and producer based out of Houston, Texas. He is a Hip-Hop and R&B artist but he isn’t the type to be placed in a box or category. 
The world was first introduced to Dyllyn in 2019 when he released his debut album, When Midnight Calls. He’s been experimenting with different sounds and genres since he was sixteen years old and has been perfecting his craft for several years. Now at twenty-two, Dyllyn is ready to reintroduce himself to the world. He has a new sound, a new production team and a new demeanor that is about to take over the airwaves in 2023.
Houstonology is a multi-media production company here in Houston that specializes in visual arts, music production and artist development. They are bringing the music and arts community in Houston closer together and have a lot of things planned for the next few years. Dyllyn has been working with Houstonology since early 2020.
While the pandemic slowed a lot of things down for many people, Dyllyn used this time to hone in on his craft and artistry. His strong work ethic, outlook on life and consecutive releases show he has no intention of slowing down. He has dropped a total of four singles this year: “Bonds“, “Space and Time“, “Slowly But Surely” and my personal favorite, “Desires” featuring Jay Siliezar. Dyllyn is set to release his newest single, “Complex“, which will be out on all platforms Friday, November 11th.

“It’s taken me a while to curate and perfect my sound. I’ve spent the last few years working with a variety of different producers and engineers to see what worked best for me. I’m finally at a place where I feel aligned sonically and in tune with my music. I have no plans of rushing into anything. I like to be intentional with everything that I do and want my fans to actually connect with me through my music. I want people to feel whatever I’m feeling in each song that I release. Whether it’s a love song, a rage song, a conscious track, etc. Music has always been an outlet for me, so every song has a different vibe or feeling that I’m embodying within a track. “ – Dyllyn

“Complex” will be the debut single from Dyllyn’s new album, which will be released in 2023. Dyllyn has a lot of new music up his sleeve and we can’t wait for the world to give him the credit he rightfully deserves. Make sure to check out some of his previous releases, you won’t be disappointed!

The singer will release a recording of her recent appearance at Newport Folk festival, her first full performance in 20 years
Joni Mitchell has announced a new live album of her recent surprise Newport Folk festival performance. Speaking to Elton John on his Apple Music radio show Rocket Hour in a rare, wide-ranging interview, Mitchell confirmed that she and her team are “trying to” release an album of the show, a collaborative performance with US Americana singer Brandi Carlile which featured guests including Blake Mills, Marcus Mumford, Wynonna Judd and more. It was Mitchell’s first full performance in more than 20 years, and found the iconic folk artist singing from an onstage throne; at one point, during Just Like This Train, she stood to perform a guitar solo. “I couldn’t sing the key, I’ve become an alto, I’m not a soprano any more,” Mitchell told John of the rendition. “I thought people might feel lighted if I just played the guitar part … it was very well received, much to my delight.”
Elsewhere in the interview, which airs in full at 5pm today (12 November), Mitchell discusses the original reception to much of her work, which she says “made people nervous”: “People thought it was too intimate. It was almost like Dylan going electric. I think it upset the male singer-songwriters … It took to this generation, they seem to be able to face those emotions more easily than my generation.” She also expresses her “outrage” at wars (“I guess it’s an old hippy thought like make love, not war … you’d think we’d wise up and take care of the ecology situation instead of starting wars”) and describes Chuck Berry as the “goat”, an acronym for greatest of all time.
Mitchell has struggled with her health in recent years, suffering an aneurysm in March 2015. In the years since, she has made rare public appearances – she attended a Chick Corea concert a year after her aneurysm, and attended Joni 75, a 2018 birthday tribute concert in Los Angeles. Last year, she addressed her health issues in a rare public speech at the Kennedy Center, saying: “I’m hobbling along but I’m doing all right.” Earlier this year, she pulled her music from Spotify in solidarity with Neil Young, who had removed his music from the service due to its hosting of a popular anti-vax podcast. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” she said in a statement at the time. “I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”
Next June, Mitchell will perform her first headline concert in 23 years at Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre as part of a two-night event called Echoes Through the Canyon – the second “Joni Jam” after the Newport Folk festival.

Home » News » Drink Masters – Release Date and How to Watch Online
Another Netflix Reality series (shock!) — in anticipation of Drink Masters, we discuss the release date, time, official premise, cast, and trailer.
As the month of October draws to a close and the cold, dark nights move in, Netflix is bringing us a series that will inject some fun and vitality into life once again. We’ve seen plenty of culinary competitions hit our screens over the years, and now, we have the perfect liquid accompaniment lined up to go alongside them.
Drink Masters is a brand new reality series fresh from Canada featuring a selection of 12 contestants from all over North America and will see them fight it out to take home the title of “Ultimate Drink Master.” It comes from the minds of the creators of a televised glass-blowing competition and could well present plenty of excellent ideas for cocktails to fill said glasses with.
Here’s everything we know so far about Drink Masters:
Here is the official premise:
“World-class mixologists showcase their dazzling cocktail-crafting skills as they compete for a $100K prize — and the title of Ultimate Drink Master.”
Our opinion of the premise
If ever there was a show right up the street for fans of culinary competitions that wasn’t just another culinary competition, it has surely got to be this absolute belter of a reality series. Granted, mixology might be a little more niche than more general cooking topics, but you cannot tell me this doesn’t have a wide appeal. And think about it… even with all of the cooking and baking contests we’ve seen over the years, how many of them have really taken a look into the beverage side of food and drink? They may occasionally talk about nice wines to pair certain dishes with, but this looks like it will take things to a whole new level. I can already tell I’m tuning in to see what it’s all about.
The Netflix reality series will be released globally on Netflix on Friday, October 28th, at 12 am PT.
Audiences will be able to watch Drink Masters with a subscription to Netflix. The basic plan for Netflix is $9.99. If you want HD, you’ll need to get the standard package at $15.49. Finally, for Ultra HD, the premium package costs $19.99. Additionally, here is everything we know about the plan for Netflix adverts.
Here is the main cast:
Here is the team behind it all:
There sure is! Check it out below:

Drink Masters really does sound like it will be a fabulous addition to the world of food and drink TV shows. I can already tell that there will be any amount of concoctions recreated in some fashion at home by those who give it a spin. And, with the festive season not too far around the corner, the timing couldn’t be better. This show could be an absolute winner, and I, for one, will definitely be giving it a go in the hope that inspiration for some new and exciting rum-based cocktails hits me like a freight train, which I believe there is every chance that it will.

Jason Robert Baldwin, 49, of New Orleans, LA, passed away unexpectedly on November 10, 2022.
Jason was born in St. Paul, MN on August 25, 1973 and at 6 months old was adopted by Barbara Russ and Robert Baldwin. In 1979, the family moved to Duluth where Jason lived until he moved to the Twin Cities after high school. Jason was passionate about music, food, football, and mixing a top-notch cocktail.
As a child, Jason enjoyed playing sports; he played varsity football and ran varsity track at Duluth East, where he graduated in 1992. Jason’s true passion, though, was music. He played saxophone in the Duluth East band and jazz band and went to college to study music production and technology. Jason played saxophone with different groups around the twin cities for years and was proud to have worked amongst some of the greats of the Minneapolis music scene. Eventually, Jason fell into bartending, was good at it, and that’s how he decided to make a living. Jason’s skills as a bartender took him on some great adventures, including working on river cruises for months at a time. That eventually took him down to New Orleans where he’s lived for the past 6 years.
Jason was preceded in death by his father, Robert Baldwin and his grandparents. He is survived by his mother, Barb Russ; his stepfather, Neil Glazman; his stepmother, Kate Baldwin; his siblings Derek (Lori) Baldwin, Bliss (Foster) Peterson, Jennifer Wyss, Matthew Wyss, Andrea (Andrew) Knutson, and Sara Jane Baldwin; nephews Jordan Meyer, Carter Peterson, Hunter Peterson, Jack Peterson, Henry Peterson, Gray Knutson, Davis Baldwin, Mylo Knutson, Max Baldwin, and niece Mae Knutson; friend Nate Nason, who Jason thought of as his “son;” and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. The family is thankful to Jason’s loving friends Brandon Brown, Rachel Smith, Cullen Lawlor, Chasin Sandefer, and especially his former partner Ricky Anderson, who, along with siblings Bliss and Derek, were all by his side when he passed. Thanks also to Dougherty Funeral Home for helping with arrangements. A celebration of Jason’s life will be announced at a later time.
