White Out Movie Review

By Siddhartha
Its very rare that one gets to see Antarctica except for the few documentaries that gets telecast on National Geographic Channel or Discovery Channel where the thrill of being in the coldest place in the earth somehow gets unnoticed. Warner Bros along with Dark Castle Entertainment decided to make a film that takes place in Antarctica from beginning to finish and thus "White Out" a thriller was made.

The theme of White Out is no different from the previous movies which you normally see taking place in the snow capped mountains. The minor difference in this movie is that a U.S Marshall who had the experience of a failed drug mafia encounter decides to shift her place of work and ends up in the South Pole to investigate a murder.

Stecko (Kate Beckinsale) plays the U.S Marshall who smartly discovers the motive behind the murder with her partner from UN Robert Pryce (Gabriel Macht) within three days of their landing in the snow filled region which does not have permanent residents and where temperatures touch -65'c during non-winter season.

Winter fast approaching they had a task in hand to accomplish which unfortunately they couldn't courtesy the secret behind a missing cargo plane which had valuable cargo in it. Stecko and Pryce labor hard only to find out that the man behind the crime is one who happens to be very close to them.

The stunning feature of this movie is the scenic beauty of Antarctica replicated exactly in the studios. Though there are few errors like people running in their birthday suits in one scene and in another unable to speak because they did not have their jerkins on. Kate Beckinsale never looks pale due to the snow which is quite amusing.

"White Out" with few errors it takes you on a roller-coaster ride to Antarctica.

Encourage Employees to Learn by Sharing Your Own Growth

By
As a manager, it’s your job to make sure everyone on your team keeps learning. But beyond encouraging people to take classes and go to conferences, how do you do it? A good starting point is to talk about your own development. When managers open up about their personal areas for improvement, it becomes more acceptable for everyone else to do the same. Ask yourself these questions, and share the answers with your team: “What areas do I need to grow the most in? What insights have I found helpful in accomplishing these goals?” And when you come back from a workshop or training, don’t resort to the typical “It was interesting” summary — be specific. For example, you might say, “I thought I was a good listener, but now I can see that this is a growth area for me. The training showed me new ways to interact with others, and although they aren’t necessarily comfortable for me, I’m going to try them out.” Adapted from " Make Sure Everyone on Your Team Sees Learning as Part of Their Job ,...

The Solution to a Tough Problem Isn’t to Overthink It

By
We all like to consider ourselves smart, but raw intelligence isn’t everything. When we get stuck on a problem, sometimes it’s because we’re overthinking it. Pay attention to when focused thinking isn’t getting you anywhere; perhaps it has turned into obsessing over the same answers or approaches. Consider whether experimenting with a new strategy or talking ideas through with others might be more likely to result in success. Take breaks to let your brain relax and get unstuck. Expand your range of skills for reaching insights and coming up with new ideas; don’t be someone who sees every problem as a nail because your only tool is a hammer. And when you do find yourself ruminating, disrupt it by doing a few minutes of an absorbing activity, such as a puzzle. This can be a surprisingly effective way to break your brain out of a rut.
