You’d have to travel many miles for a more concentrated array of frights than the one assembled each year by FrightFest, the UK’s biggest horror film festival. Even in a year already replete with classy horror flicks, the line-up for August’s five-day fest looks like a seriously unsettling one. Gorehounds, midnight movie aficionados, cult-heads and more casual horror fans are catered for across 69 films and five days and nights between August 22-26.

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

Read & Run Chicago is partnering with the The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 Commemoration Project (CRR19) and Lookingglass Theater for a special, one-of-a-kind running tour commemorating the 1919 Chicago Race Riot on the same day and in the same place the multi-day riots began over 100 years ago. Runners will stop at various locations in Bronzeville featured in Claire Hartfield’s book A Few Red Drops and learn more about the devastating and lasting impact the events had on the city. After the run concludes at Eugene Williams Memorial Marker, a free outdoor performance of Sunset 1919—an artistic ritual of music, movement, art and word commemorating the start of the riot—will take place.

Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

If the leisure landscape of NSW is dominated by one thing, it might just be our swimming spots – from super-calm beaches to surreal hot springs, our state is home to some pretty spectacular places to submerge. And though the outdoor swimming pools that hide within Sydney’s parks have their perks, there’s something special about the ocean baths that punctuate the coast. In fact, the Harbour City is home to more ocean baths than anywhere else in the world – with 70 of the world’s 150 known ocean pools located in NSW, and 30 right here in Sydney. And while Icebergs is undoubtedly the most Instagrammed, and the baths at Bronte (which are currently closed for major maintenance) offer a pretty unparalleled sunrise, there’s an ocean pool outside of Sydney that’s arguably even more remarkable. On the southern edge of Merewether Beach in the up-and-coming coastal town of Newcastle, Merewether Baths stretch into the ocean for 50 metres – making them the largest ocean pool in the Southern Hemisphere. Here’s everything you need to about this very special swimming spot.

Sure, the weather hasn’t been perfect this summer, but it’s still important to get outside when you can. Especially if you are a small child who might otherwise be cooped up inside, bored and inevitably annoying your parents by asking them to watch the same Disney film for the 400th time.
