Stars and glamor as far as the eye can see: On Wednesday evening, numerous celebrities gathered in London for the launch of a new 007 watch collection by the luxury label Omega, which was designed to mark the 60th anniversary of the James Bond films. The last 007 to date was also there in person: Daniel Craig (54).

The British actor appeared on the red carpet in an appropriately classy black tuxedo and bow tie. He wore a white shirt underneath. Later, Craig also gave a short speech on stage.

Another eye-catcher of the evening was actress Hayley Atwell (40). She mastered the flashbulbs in a baby-blue chiffon dress by Sabina Bilenko, which particularly captivated with its golden corset and deep décolleté. Atwell's feather-embellished golden clutch was also an absolute highlight.

These celebrities were also in London
"Riverdale" star K.J. Apa (25), actress Daisy Edgar-Jones (24), "We're the Millers" actor Will Poulter (29) and "Dead Girls Don't Lie" star Alisha Boe (25) provided glamor in London on Wednesday evening.

The 60th anniversary of the James Bond films was celebrated this year with a variety of activities. Some props, including Bond's Aston Martin, were auctioned off. In addition, the successful films were all temporarily available on Prime Video.

Today, we are announcing Carrom School — A flexible career accelerator with mentorship and tutoring for software engineers in India to restart your career as a remote developer. Don’t pay until you get a well-paying job — 12LPA(INR) for Indian engineers.

The program would be entirely remote, and you can attend at your own timings, even if you are doing a day job.

Carrom is payroll and compliance for remote teams.

The biggest advantage of hiring from Carrom would be staying compliant to local employment laws.

Why?

Engineers in India are oftentimes underpaid terribly. To put things into perspective my first salary was around $300 per month.

Carrom’s vision is to bring equal opportunity to the talents who are spread across the world. We believe that remote work is a tool to solve this inequality. We are starting from the 5.2 million software engineers in India and want to expand into other developing countries.

What happens during the Carrom school?

Initial few weeks would be focused on learning the basics of web technologies that you will be working with for the next few months. In the following weeks, you will emulate how a remote team works. Attendees from a batch would be split into a team and develop a product based on specifications. You will communicate and collaborate like a remote team. Towards the tail end of the course, you will be given more mentorship and coaching on how to attend interviews. We will also try to give introductions to top remote teams. Just like a remote team, we have kept the curriculum flexible to suit your individual needs.

How are we different from a normal boot camp?

Our goal is to equip engineers with skills that are required to work in a remote team and also improve their programming skills by sharing what experienced remote engineers have learned over the years.

We also focus on improving the soft skills of a developer, which we believe is extremely important. The way you write on Slack, how and when to ask questions to colleagues, and other remote etiquettes. They would also attend 1:1 meeting, pair programming sessions, code reviews by peers and mentors, etc. We also set up AMAs with remote team leaders, and engineers who have worked in a remote team for a long time.

Who are these course for?

If you have decent programming knowledge — be it as a freelancer or full-time employee, you are eligible for this irrespective of your degree or age.

If you are a company skeptic about hiring from career accelerators read our “for companies section”.

If you are a software engineer, and you feel like you are underpaid and deserve better, fill in our general interest form today and we will get back to you soon.

Please read our FAQ to understand better what we are doing. If you still have questions write to us at support@carrom.io or DM us on Twitter.

Christopher McQuarrie has hinted that Ethan Hunt could be in trouble in 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One'.

The 54-year-old director is helming the next two films in the action franchise and claims the title suggests that Tom Cruise's hero and other characters may find themselves in danger during the film.

Speaking to Empire magazine, Christopher said: "There are many things that come out of Ethan's past. 'Dead reckoning' is a navigational term. It means you choose a course based solely on your last known position, and that becomes a metaphor not just for Ethan but for multiple characters.”

The next 'Mission: Impossible' story is set to be told in two films, and McQuarrie is determined to make it a standout project in the long-running action series. The 'Jack Reacher' director said: "The first thing we knew was that if it's going to be a big two-part adventure, it has to be epic. It's going to have to be the episode that engulfs the rest of the franchise as a whole. There's just no other way to do it." Also, insiders have previously claimed that Cruise is planning some of the "biggest, most expensive stunts yet" for the 'Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two' sequel. So fans can be excited.

Films immortalize places - the Trevi Fountain, the bookshop in Notting Hill, the Studio Babelsberg in Berlin, the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, the Bergman Museum on Faro Island or the Odessa Stairs...

The European Film Academy has recognized 35 iconic locations, museums, monuments, places or landscapes as part of the European cinematic cultural heritage.

European film history is one of the oldest in the world and I think we should make a lot more of it. Because people are interested in classic films, and I think it's important to show where these classics were filmed... It's an important part of the work we can do to get cinema to a larger audience in Europe to interest.

The list of the "treasures of European film culture" gets longer every year... Studio Babelsberg, founded in 1912, the oldest in the world and the cradle of German film, is also one of them.

The Plaza de España in Seville in Andalusia has already served as a backdrop for various masterpieces such as Star Wars, The Dictator or Lawrence of Arabia.

On the other side of the door was time in its entirety—

17-year-old Suzume's journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu when she encounters a young man who tells her, "I'm looking for a door." What Suzume finds is a single worn door standing in the middle of ruins, as if it were protected from any catastrophe. Seemingly hypnotized by her power, Suzume reaches for the handle…

The stars

The sunset

the morning sky

Within that realm, it was as if all time had melted into the sky—

Drawn to this mysterious door, Suzume's journey is about to begin.

Shinkai stated that three important points about the film are that it is a road movie across Japan, a story about "closing doors" rather than opening them, and a reason to visit the cinema. He elaborated that closing doors could refer to tying up loose ends or finishing something.

Actress Nanoka Hara voices heroine Suzume Iwato in the film. SixTONES idol group member Hokuto Matsumura (live-action Liar × Liar film's Tōru, live-action xxxHOLiC film's Shizuka Doumeki) made his voice acting debut in the film as Sōta Munakata, a young man who embarks on a journey with Suzume as the "door -Closing Master.”

Shinkai (his real name, Weathering With You) directed the film and wrote the screenplay. He is also credited with the original story. Masayoshi Tanaka (his real name, Weathering With You) designed the characters. Kenichi Tsuchiya (his name., Garden of Words) was the animation director. Takumi Tanji (Children Who Chase Lost Voices) was the art director. CoMix Wave Films and Story Inc. produced the film. TOHO is distributing the film. RADWIMPS scored the film. Seattle-based Hollywood film composer Kazuma Jinnouchi (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, RWBY: Ice Queendom) scored the film alongside RADWIMPS. TikTok artist Toaka sang one of the film's theme songs "Suzume".

Shinkai also wrote a novelization of the film which was released on August 24. Denki Amashima launched a manga adaptation of the film in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine on October 25.
