Model Mars Kubani ’23 ascends from Vassar to the stars

Apr 10, 2024 | miscellanynews.org | Richard Lu

The modeling world is often out of our reach, stories of which are indefinitely confined to the screens of our phones. It exists only as a distant reality, an echo chamber of fame, riches and glamor. Similarly to how top universities admit students, the modeling industry is highly selective in how they choose their candidates. According to Vogue, only eight prospective models were selected out of over 60,000 applicants to participate in their 2023 Open Casting.
CRU: Slow unfurling for raw material demand expected

Feb 23, 2024 | steelmarketupdate.com | Richard Lu

We have heard that Korean steelmaker POSCO would hot idle and maintain its BFs. This will lead to weaker raw materials demand in the region. In China, steel demand is ramping up after the Chinese New Year, but the demand outlook is bearish for the coming peak season. Without support from demand, steel margins are unlikely to improve, limiting the increase in steel production and consequently demand for raw materials.

Jan 21, 2024 | steelmarketupdate.com | Richard Lu

The JKT market will resemble Europe with little additional upside on bulk raw materials demand. In India, modeled steel margins turned negative, but domestic demand and exports are expected to improve toward the end of February. Given this, steelmakers will keep hot metal production elevated, supporting demand for raw materials in the country.
‘The Hunger Games’ re-enters the arena

Dec 6, 2023 | miscellanynews.org | Richard Lu

A few days ago, I decided that my final MEDS 160: “Approaches to Media Studies” paper would be about “The Hunger Games.” It was perfect timing with the newest film in the series, “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” being released only three weeks ago. My friends and I had the pleasure of watching the film in theaters on the day of its U.S. release, Nov. 17.

Examining a new queer coming-of-age film

Oct 4, 2023 | miscellanynews.org | Richard Lu

The universe is infinite. Forever ebbing and flowing, millions upon millions of stars and galaxies exist in the endless cosmos. Like the universe, love, too, is infinite. However, love separates itself from the former by being devoted to a single heart in a sea of billions. This is the story of our protagonists in the romantic drama film “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” (2023), written and directed by Aitch Alberto.

The Cushing Carnival cultivates rich community for Cushing residents

Apr 26, 2023 | miscellanynews.org | Richard Lu

Residential Life (ResLife) events are times where this pride is expressed through community bonding. Posters for these events are plastered around each nook and cranny of the residence halls, and students—especially first-years—are encouraged to attend. A few weeks prior to the Cushing Carnival, I ran into one of these posters.
