Tulum in recent years has become a world popular destination. Known for its unique bohemian vibe and ecological architecture, it is a popular destination for yoga, spiritual retreats, wellness programs and culinary and art centers. OVERVIEW The Beach Tulum is a stylish, beachfront, adults-only boutique hotel located in the heart of Tulum, a 1 hour and 45 minute drive south from Cancún. It is touted to be an oasis of sorts, retaining the cool quiet and chill essence of the “original Tulum”, before the loud party scene and tourist hordes took over; a true gem of a sanctuary within the otherwise typically rowdy Tulum town vibes. It is aptly named The Beach for good reason: the entire property extends directly in front of one of the dreamiest seaside areas of Tulum, a serene and private beach with the whitest powdery sand and most pristine turquoise ocean, arguably one of the main draws of a visit to Tulum.

For the 12th year of its ArtWorks Internship Program, Arts for Learning/Miami (A4L) is looking to hire 100 students from Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and beyond Florida to participate in a paid artistic internship of their choice. During the six-week internship, interns learn new arts skills, apply techniques, and work on developing projects in their artistic discipline. Students also benefit from learning life and workforce skills such as financial literacy and professionalism while also receiving individualized college advisement sessions. "Last year, we received a tremendous amount of interest in the program, especially with the addition of two new co-ops. This artistic opportunity is truly one of a kind, and watching nearly 100 young people create, collaborate and flex their imagination under the direction of our fantastic teaching artists never gets old." Ivy Bennett, Program Director The program culminates in a splendid showcase of all the interns’ works, from spoken word, to dance, and animation videos.

I wish I had something like this when I was in high school; just a way of being able to explore all these creative outlets and to meet people from other schools.” - Gabriel John Paul Sumar, ArtWorks Teaching Artist, Harvard University Architecture Masters Student “My first ArtWorks internship made me really happy because it helped me grow my confidence a lot and I learned leadership skills that will help me in the future.

When you think of Miami, the first thing that pops into your mind are the bustling cafes, glorious blue waves, lush beaches, and vibrant city life. The vast city of Miami Florida is so much more than the above-listed, and anyone across the globe can have the city's eclectic vibe copy-pasted into their homes. The city's genuine nature and aesthetic have been reflected numerous times throughout the world, and if you wish to incorporate the sleek Miami-style interior design, we have a few alluring ideas to help you out. Read on to discover some of the majestic Miami-inspired design styles and how you can implement them into your lovely home. Image by GWG Outlet The Sophisticated Elements In a plethora of Miami houses, the very first thing you would spot is a mix of rustic and modern extravaganza. The design tends to perfectly blend the modern elements with a hint of organic and natural beauty elements. The reason behind this notion is the marvelous coastal climate and weather that draws residents to use white hues for the wall palette to open up the spice and let plenty of natural light in and then furnish the house with sophisticated furniture and high-end artwork. The focus is on luxe marble flooring and bright details around. Image by Oak Motion Bringing The Outside In The climate in and around Miami is absolutely to die for, and it's no wonder that plenty of homeowners have included the outdoors as a part of their overall Miami interior design style. This includes having large top-to-bottom floors to let the sun in and to overlook the splashing waves (or their yachts). Also, luscious plants and planters dominate the living room, as well as having primarily off-beat white and beige wall hues with a pop of color in the decor. Anyone can easily mimic the dazzling white walls and furnishing inspired by the beaches, but pay attention to the windows. The weather in Miami is dreamy, however, you cannot expect to have such beautiful Miami weather all year long, and you had better find insulation for sale and secure your windows, walls, roof, and floors. Opt For Sprucing Vibes It's no secret that Miami has a unique history that is mainly inspired by Ernest Hemingway's journeys, ocean, sun, and sand. Add the infusion of Latino culture, and you will have a sprucing style like no other on the planet. For that matter, play with accents and incorporate fabulous prints that would give out eclectic vibes. The decor should deliver a feeling of being at sea at some neverending party. Place playful ornaments, colorful rugs, and brilliant jewel-toned patterns for cabinetry, sofas, and ottomans, and keep the upholstered pieces in metallic color but blend them with timidly plush fabrics for instance. Image by archiVIZ Enhance Wide Open Spaces Miami is also about freedom and soaking up the sun, and what better way to incorporate such a vibe into your interior design than by opening up the space in your house? If necessary, knock down a wall separating the kitchen and the dining room to create a wider open space and make an amazing kitchen island with a white marble countertop and contemporary stainless steel utilities. If the place allows it, you can invite the Miami interior design style by opting for large glass doors to the patio or balcony. The key is to let lots of natural light and airflow in and enhance your inner space to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Image by Mirror Image Studio Posh Up Accents When it comes to furniture, the overall design exudes a minimalist approach: wide plain king-sized beds, low-profile, masterful sofas, and sleek sideboards. Given the fact that the walls are mainly painted in pure white or other plain hues, highlighting the accents and other elements ought to be the top priority if you want to evoke Miami style into your interior. Think 80' retro Miami vice era, place simple but striking accents such as a golden vase or a hand-crafted gold silhouette on the table. Refurbish the mantelpiece and hang a vintage gold mirror with immaculate details, and similar. Follow these sensational key features, and you will undoubtedly evoke Miami's interior design style in your home. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Adobe Stock & Unsplash

He credited his growth, both technically and mentally, and thanked the fans for their support during tough moments in the game. "I feel like I'm living a dream. I'm thrilled with my progress, not just in my game but also personally. Today was tense, but I stayed focused and adapted well. The fans played a crucial role, helping me bounce back after setbacks. You have to embrace their energy, especially in tough times," Fonseca said. Fonseca also celebrated the success of fellow Brazilians Thiago Monteiro and Thiago Wild, and looked forward to facing Argentine Mariano Navone in the upcoming match. "I'm ecstatic! Both Thiagos are great friends, and achieving this alongside them is incredible. I'm grateful for everyone's support and hungry for more," Fonseca remarked. Looking ahead to the match against Navone, Fonseca acknowledged the challenge but expressed confidence in his ability to compete against the Argentine player. "Navone is tough; we've played before, and he's in good form. But I'm ready for the challenge. He's fast and precise, but so am I," Fonseca concluded. By ML Staff. Image courtesy of Fotojump.

The 10th edition of the Rio Open presented by Claro marks a historic moment for Brazilian tennis. Thiago Wild secured a spot in the quarter-finals, ensuring at least two Brazilian representatives for the first time. Tonight, at 6 PM, he aims to become Brazil's first semi-finalist in South America's biggest tournament. In a match halted by rain and resumed from Wednesday night, Wild defeated Spain's Jaume Munar 2 sets to 1, with scores of 6/2, 4/6, and 6/3, achieving his best performance in an ATP 500 event. Since 2017, no Brazilian player has reached the top eight at the Rio Open. Thiago Monteiro and Felipe Meligeni's match for the round of 16 is ongoing, potentially adding a third Brazilian to the quarter-finals. Wild praised the strong showing of Brazilian players and emphasized the significance of their success for the sport in the country. Looking ahead to the semi-finals, Wild faces a tough opponent in current champion Cameron Norrie. Despite Norrie's shorter time on court and favoritism, he acknowledges Wild's talent and expects a challenging match. In doubles, Rafael Matos, partnering with Colombian Nicolas Barrientos, advanced to the semi-finals by defeating the fourth-seeded German pair Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz. They will now face the Italian duo Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori for a spot in the final." By ML Staff. Image courtesy of Photojump.
