On Thursday, Paul McCartney’s ‘Meat Free Monday’ Campaign — which he started with his daughters Mary and Stella McCartney in 2009 — released a new short film featuring a previously unreleased song from Sir Paul himself.
The film “One Day a Week,” highlights the damaging role animal agriculture plays in the deteriorating health of our environment and encourages people to help slow climate change by eating less meat.
“Perhaps it’s time to ask ourselves the question, what can I as an individual do to help? Well, there’s a simple but significant way to help protect the planet and all its inhabitants,...

'I didn't ever decide I was going to be a composer. It was like being tall. It's what I was. It's what I did'
Sidney Lumet's 1974 film version of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express was something of a landmark in crime cinema. The star-studded cast (Bacall, Bergman, Connery, Finney, Gielgud, Redgrave . . .) and lavish production values provided both the template for later movie adaptations of Christie's work and paved the way for the successful trend of high-end television crime series. Richard Rodney Bennett, who had been writing for the screen since he was 18, and who was a technically brilliant classical composer with a deep knowledge of 1930s popular music, was an ideal choice to write the score.
"Stephen Sondheim recommended me," recalls Bennett. "And as soon as I saw the rushes I told Sidney that no one in their right mind was going to be scared out their wits by Agatha Christie.

Would you bike to work more often if your employer subsidized the cost of a brand new bike? The Standing Stone Brewing Company, in Ashland, Oregon, is betting the answer is yes. On August 26th the brewery launched "Rpm Club," a program that gives a free bike to any employee who pledges to make 45 two-wheeled commutes within a year after receiving the gift. Employees only become eligible for the program after 1,000 hours of work, so anyone angling for a free bike sans work responsibilities need not apply.
So far, the Rpm club has been a raging success. Seventeen people (almost a third of the employees) signed up immediately for the program, and other businesses in the area are now considering starting up their own Rpm clubs thanks to local press coverage of Standing Stone's initiative. The program isn't even costing Standing Stone all that much, as the State of...
