We were wowed by Cheryl's reflective photo, as well as loving the quality of her make. We particularly love the contrast top stitching, and that little peek of colour from the interior zip pocket! So much fun!
Cheryl told us that she used an all cork exterior and a waterproof canvas lining for her make. She used 1 1/2 inch rings, found on Etsy, and added a magnetic snap as she had a bit of trouble with the zipper.
Make your own Ring Sling bag, by buying our beginner-level sewing pattern from https://www.mrs-h.com/the-ring-sling-pattern.html
We reached out to Cheryl to ask whether we could interview her about her make and about her sewing life, and she said yes! Read on to find out more about Cheryl and read some of her top tips for bagmaking!
Hi, Cheryl! Could you please tell us a bit about yourself?
I learned to sew when I was in 7th grade. My grandmother sewed and so did my aunt. They were really the only people I knew who sewed. My grandmother was my mentor. When I was little she made my clothes, when she got older, (much older) I made her clothes. Also, fun fact, my mother was pregnant when I was in high school with my youngest brother. I made her maternity clothes ??! I also made my children’s clothes when they were little.
I have two kids, 36 and 39. I went back to work when they were in preschool. I started out as a tax accountant, then became a middle school math teacher so I could be home more with them. I had to retire when a surgery I had on my hip had a bad outcome with nerve damage. After at least 5 years of surgeries and rehab, I came back to sewing and decided to try making a bag. I really didn’t know what I was doing, but I just followed the pattern and was thrilled with the results. I felt like I really accomplished something as opposed to doing a quick sew of some clothing.
I sewed another bag and then I found the Bag of the Month Club. It was such a great way to try other designers and tackle something I would not have tried. Also, I learned so much about different sewing techniques because each designer had their own way of doing things and writing patterns for that matter.
So, what inspired you to start sewing? And, what is your favourite thing about sewing?
I am not sure what really inspired me to take up sewing, because I was definitely in the minority of people I knew. I was immediately taken with the fact I could create something out of just a piece of fabric. My dad bought my first sewing machine when I was in high school and I actually taught him a bit about how to sew with it - haha!
It might sound nerdy, but I love the fact that sewing and bag making in particular uses so much math in the process. I also love bag making more than garment sewing because I love the process of each step being it’s own creative part. I think of garment sewing as a holistic project, whereas I look at bag making as a series of important steps to create a whole. Each step is an important and integral part of the process to create the whole.
Did you have a particular creative idea or inspiration for your Ring Sling bag? If so, what inspired you?
For my first Ring Sling, I used marine vinyl, I loved the practicality of the bag with all the pockets, and the creativity of the design piecing together. But the marine vinyl made the bag a bit heavy for me so I decided to use cork. The hardest part about using cork, was all the different color choices. I decided to make this bag for my daughter. As a crossbody bag, i knew it would be perfect for her getting kids in and out of car seats and she would be free to hold little hands.
What type of machine or machines do you use?
When I started doing more serious bag making I knew I had to upgrade to a heavier duty machine. I had no idea there was such a thing as an industrial machine, so I looked for a machine with a larger throat and a presser foot that could accommodate thicker materials. I purchased a Janome 3160 QDC. It is extremely reliable, but I still had some trouble with nice even stitches when topstitching. As I continued to sew, I started making more and more bags, wallets, etc out of cork. My skills were getting better, but the topstitching was just ok. About that time, I cut my left thumb on a shard of glass and severed the nerve and two tendons on that left thumb.
After a stint at hand rehab, I went back to sewing. My husband saw how happy I was at sewing again so he encouraged me to get a Juki 1541s. The Juki was a very steep learning curve for me, and often times I thought I was in over my head. After a few cuss words and and some tense moments, Juki and I made up and we are now friends. I love topstitching and Juki does an awesome job at it.
Aside from your sewing machine, what's the sewing tool you can't live without?
I guess my favorite new-ish discovery is double-sided tape for leather. I had been using just the regular doubled-sided tape from wacol, but this works great and comes in 1/4 in and 1/2 in. I also recently began using a clapper, which works great for pressing seams flat.
What's your top tip for other bagmakers?
My absolute top tip, is to not give up. Many times we get frustrated because something doesn’t work right, or fit right, or a seam is sewn sloppy or backwards. But, patience and perseverance really make a great bag. It’s also kind of like frying tacos; the first one usually is just okay, but the next several turn out great!
What are you going to make next?
Right now I am working on a line of wallets, mainly cork that have long detachable chain straps, to wear as a crossbody or just use as a wallet. I have a couple local boutiques that want to carry them so I am gearing up for Christmas.
Thank you for sharing with us, Cheryl!

Nine-year-old Mikey Poulli, who has previously made headlines due to his extraordinary football skills, was given the chance to meet his footballing heroes at St. George’s Park – the National Football Centre and home to all 27 England teams.
Mikey was diagnosed with a rare and incurable eye disease aged seven but he hasn’t let his disability diminish his passion for football and due to his amazing ability he has previously trained with England Men’s Blind Team. In a specially-arranged surprise session, Mikey got to meet his favourite England player, Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold, alongside another of his England heroes, winger Jadon Sancho.
Mikey and the young England internationals were joined Brandon Coleman and Azeem Amir from England Men’s Blind Team who put all three through their paces wearing blindfolds to share what visually impaired players around the world experience when they are playing.
Commenting on the experience, Trent Alexander-Arnold said:
“It was a pleasure to come and be a part of a day like this.”
Jadon Sancho added:
“Trying it today was so difficult. I’m definitely going to watch a game as it’s crazy what these guys can do. I’m sure me and Trent will organise a game that we can go and watch.”
This is brilliant ❤@trentaa98, @Sanchooo10 and two members of the England Blind team helped us with a very special surprise for young fan @mikeypoulli recently!#InternationalDisabilityDay pic.twitter.com/NE9OQHcfx2

CHISINAU, February 2. /TASS/. Moldova proposed to Russia to resume the work of the inter-governmental commission on economic cooperation which held its last session in November 2012, Moldovan Economy Ministry’s press secretary told TASS on Tuesday.
"We informed Russian representatives about our interest to hold the session in the first half of this year," the press secretary said.
Chisinau wants to discuss the possibility of boosting the process of lifting restrictions in trade and energy cooperation. "The Russian government earlier adopted a decree on introducing customs duties for Moldovan goods, and it affected 19 export categories. There are also non-tariff barriers or so-called temporary restrictions on export to Russia of Moldovan wine, meat and canned products," a representative of Moldovan Economy Ministry told TASS.
She reminded that improving economic ties with Russia is high on the agenda for the new Moldovan government. Many questions have been accumulated over the pause in Russian-Moldovan relations, she added. Energy issues are also important, and Moldova wants to resume a long-term contract with Gazprom on gas supplies which expired in 2011 and has not since been renewed. Chisinau wants to get a discount for gas but negotiations are rather difficult. The representative said that Moldova also plans to discuss with Russia cooperation in railway transportation.
Chisinau plans to discuss the agenda in detail at the session of CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) Economic Council in Moscow on March 18.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin co-chairs the inter-governmental commission, he also serves as Russian presidential envoy for Transdniestrian settlement. The new Moldovan government has not appointed its co-chairman yet but it will most likely be Economy Minister Octavian Calmic.

I'm preparing my upcoming expo and surely one of the most important things so that your public has a pleasant view onto your work should be the frame around the work.
My drawings are so small, mostly like a postcard, nothing more and I was searching a nice and honest idea for my works. First I thought to work with second hand frames (tough that will take me ages to find exactly those that I will like!) all different ones...but I think I founded it! It's very simple but looks strong although a little sensible cause I don't use glass to protect. I don't like glass! It gives me nerves all the time. So this is my try-out with the first drawing. I painted a background, made a frame out of wood, pasted those two together and then I bring some cardboard on the back of the drawing...that way the drawing is lifted from the background and a little shadow makes the drawing floating in the Aubergine-sea around it. Now, I know what to do next weeks ;)

NEW WILMINGTON, PA – Three Westminster College seniors recently performed with the prestigious National Small College Intercollegiate Honors Band at Arizona State University.
In addition to being selected to perform with the band, the Westminster musicians also earned key placements. Maura Kardasz, bassoon, and Timothy Savage, alto saxophone, earned principal chairs in their sections, while Sean Evanick, trumpet, was named to the first trumpet section. Students went through a rigorous audition process for individual placements within the band.
The ensemble, comprised of student musicians from more than 50 colleges and universities with 5,000 or fewer students, was conducted by Dr. Rodney Dorsey, director of bands and professor of music and at Indiana University.
In addition to eight-hour rehearsal days, the students attended major concerts, as well as research sessions and clinics with top conductors, educators and researchers from across the country.
The honors band is a part of the Collegiate Band Directors National Association’s four-day national conference, the largest collegiate instrumental conference in the United States. Kardasz, Savage and Evanick were accompanied by Dr. R. Tad Greig, professor of music and director of instrumental activities at Westminster. Greig also served on the national auditions committee.
While Westminster College has consistently been represented in the national honors band, Greig said the greater significance is how well Westminster students have performed and rated through their auditions over the years.
“Competing against other college students from an average of 40 to 50 colleges and universities from across the country, the majority of Westminster musicians attending this event have achieved first section as well as principal chairs in the majority of our appearances,” said Greig. “This speaks volumes to the caliber of student musician that we are blessed to have at Westminster.
“Considering that ‘small’ in the Small College Intercollegiate Honors Band is defined as any college with fewer than 5,000 students, we surely represent a very small school with amazing musicians,” Greig said.
Evanick, of Ellwood City, is a music education and music performance-instrumental major. He is the son of Michael and Mary Evanick and a graduate of Riverside High School.
Kardasz of Allison Park, Pa., is a music education major. She is the daughter of Robert and Amanda Kardasz and a graduate of Hampton High School.
Savage is a music education and music performance-instrumental major from Purcellville, Va. He is the son of Chantelle Savage and a graduate of Loudoun Valley High School.

We’ve had lots of questions about how Natasha’s Law affects events like school cake sales, so we asked the Food Standards Agency to clarify.
They told us that Natasha’s Law only applies to registered food businesses, so in most cases, PTAs and Friends associations don’t need to adhere to it.
The FSA website says “If you supply food on an occasional and small-scale basis, it is unlikely you will need to register (as a food business). You may need to register with your local authority as a food business if you provide food on a regular and organised basis.”
BUT the FSA strongly recommends full allergen labelling on any food sold to allow customers to make safe choices. Any food supplied, sold or provided at charity or community events must be safe and comply with food law.
Here are 5 tips from The Allergy Team to host a successful cake sale that ALL students and their families can enjoy:
1. Plan ahead to make sure there are free-from treats on offer.
2. Consider a mix so you don’t end up with 5 egg-free cakes, but nothing that’s dairy or wheat-free.
3. Remind everyone contributing free from food to avoid cross-contact or cross-contamination when they’re baking.
4. Ask bakers and cooks to list any of the main allergens in their food (and make sure the right ingredients’ list stays with the right dish).
5. Set up the free-from cakes or treats at one end of the table or on a separate table.
Have one person in charge of the free-from area and make sure every serving plate has its own knife or cake slice to avoid cross-contamination.

Come celebrate exceptional local, national and international Latin Jazz artists at Brava Theater, 2781 24th St., San Francisco
by Camilo Landau
The long overdue First Annual Mission Latin Jazz Festival features a showcase of exceptional musicians and bands from the Mission District, the Bay Area, California, the U.S., Latin America and beyond. An all-star band of Mission District musicians from the 1970s will be paired with the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble – the next generation of San Francisco Latin Jazz musicians. The 20-piece big-band Pacific Mambo Orchestra will be paired with VL Trio.
This festival will strive to open several dialogues within the Latin Jazz community, among them: a dialogue regarding the recent Grammy restructuring decisions and re-instatement of the Latin Jazz category; and a discussion on the questions “What is Latin Jazz?” and “What does it mean?” With the inclusion of Laura Rebolloso and Ensemble Marinero from Mexico playing a version of Mexican-Jazz, we invite people to discuss whether Latin Jazz includes Cuban and Puerto Rican mixtures of jazz only, Caribbean jazz only or influences from all over Latin America.
Friday, Oct. 13, 8-11 p.m.
The ‘70s Mission All-Stars will headline Saturday night’s concert, paying homage to the amazing musical scene that sprouted in San Francisco’s Mission District in the 1970s. Featuring renowned San Francisco musicians from that era, this all-star band of veteran players will pay tribute to the music that they themselves began pioneering during the late ‘70s. Members of the band include Karl Perazzo from the Carlos Santana band; Dr. John Calloway, recipient of the 2012 “Jazz Hero” award; master bassist David Belove; renowned producer Dr. Greg Landau; legendary singer Linda Tillery; violin virtuoso Anthony Blea; and more.
In contrast to this veteran group, the next generation of exceptional Latin Jazz musicians will be represented by the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble of San Francisco, under the musical direction of Dr. John Calloway. Composed of young musicians aged 10 to 18, the LJYE has gained a reputation of excellence based on the group’s high standards of musicianship and musicality. This group of talented youth is sure to be a highlight of the Mission Latin Jazz Festival.
The Josh Jones Latin Jazz Ensemble will perform a special tribute to Latin Jazz great Ray Barretto, featuring top local musicians including Danilo Paíz, Marty Wehner, Chloe Scott, Saul Sierra, Marco Diaz and more.
Sunday, Oct. 14, 2-5 p.m.
VL Trio, composed of three master musicians – pianist Marco Diaz, bassist Saul Sierra and percussionist Carlos Caro – will show that a small group can make an extremely big sound. The stripped-down trio opens up space for each musician to shine with his unique talents, in a world-class trio that will knock your socks off.
Pacific Mambo Orchestra is a full 20-piece Latin Big Band, complete with fat sax, trombone, trumpet and percussion sections. The sound of the old-school Mambo band is back, but with a modern twist.
Laura Rebolloso, one of the founders of legendary Son Jarocho group Son de Madera, is coming in from Mexico with her Ensemble Marinero, an excursion into Mexican jazz and an exploration of the boundaries of the very meaning of Latin jazz. Her haunting poetic decimas are accompanied by piano, contrabass, violin and leona, a member of the family of Jarocho instruments.
Tickets are available at
• Brava Theater Box Office, (415) 641-7657, ext. 1
• Accion Latina offices, 2958 24th Street, San Francisco
Tickets are $18 and $15 for students; advanced purchase discounts and group discounts are available. For more information, visit our website: http://www.accionlatina.org/MissionLatinJazz.
This event is wheelchair accessible.

When it comes to heating our homes and spaces, we’re constantly seeking more efficient, sustainable, and innovative solutions. Traditional heating systems have their drawbacks, from high energy consumption to uneven heat distribution. As we move forward into a world increasingly focused on sustainability and energy efficiency, it’s crucial to explore alternative heating methods. Infrared electric radiators are emerging as a promising technology that could revolutionize the way we heat our homes. In this article, we’ll delve into the future of heating through the lens of infrared electric radiators.
Understanding Infrared Heating
Infrared heating technology is not new; it has been used in various applications for decades. Think of the sun, which emits infrared radiation, providing warmth even on cold winter days. Infrared heaters work on a similar principle, using electromagnetic waves to directly heat objects and surfaces rather than the air. This fundamental difference in heating approach brings several advantages.
One of the standout features of infrared electric radiators is their energy efficiency. Traditional heating systems heat the air, which can result in significant heat loss through drafts, poor insulation, or open doors and windows. In contrast, infrared heaters warm the objects and people in a room, creating a more consistent and efficient heating experience. This means you can achieve the same level of comfort while using less energy, leading to potential cost savings and reduced carbon emissions.
Infrared heating provides a more comfortable indoor environment compared to conventional systems. When you enter a room heated by infrared radiators, you’ll notice a cozy warmth that feels similar to the sun’s rays. Unlike forced-air systems that can lead to uneven heating and uncomfortable drafts, infrared heating creates a gentle, consistent heat that envelops you.
The Future Potential
Now that we understand the basics of infrared heating, let’s explore its potential to shape the future of how we heat our homes.
As we confront the challenges of climate change and the need to reduce our carbon footprint, sustainable heating solutions are essential. Infrared electric radiators have the potential to play a significant role in this transition. They use electricity as their energy source, which can be generated from renewable sources such as solar or wind power. By combining infrared heating with clean energy generation, we can achieve a more sustainable and eco-friendly heating system.
The future of heating is undoubtedly smart. Infrared electric radiators can be integrated into smart home systems, allowing for precise control and optimization. Imagine a heating system that learns your daily routines and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This not only enhances comfort but also maximizes energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary heating when you’re not at home.
Health and Wellbeing
Infrared heating has potential health benefits as well. Unlike traditional heaters that can circulate dust and allergens, infrared heaters do not rely on air circulation, which can help maintain a cleaner indoor environment. Some studies also suggest that infrared heat may have therapeutic properties, such as improving blood circulation and reducing muscle pain.
Design and Aesthetics
Infrared electric radiators are available in various sleek and modern designs, making them a perfect fit for contemporary interior aesthetics. These radiators can be installed as stylish additions to your home, merging functionality with design seamlessly.

At the crossroads of Paris & the main European countries, Experience & Excellence meet up between food & space design, to create a unique building that will be home to a leader in high-quality flavors for the food and beverage industry worldwide. That’s where ARCH.DESIGN and OSF Flavors become partners to give life to these new offices in Lormaison, a small city located up in the North of Paris.
Based in the US, but also present in Africa and Asia, OSF Flavors is a producer of high-quality natural and unnatural food flavors. In view to expand its impact worldwide, it recently decided to open a new firm in Europe near Paris, a global city.
In order to develop a project coherent with its image, OSF Flavors chose to collaborate with ARCH.DESIGN to translate its vision into a reality.
The whole Design&Build process was brought to life through ARCH.DESIGN’s signature approach, the DESIGN360 method: focusing on a flexible approach, coupled with their in-house team including workplace experts, designers, project managers, site managers and furniture experts, in view of keeping control over the quality of the work carried out.
Factors such as the presence of an interior patio and OSF’s desire to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere naturally led the architects to adopt a plant-based and natural approach, which they wanted to reflect in their choice of materials such as wood and stone, and in the choice of paint colors and furniture. Added to all this was a desire for real purity and elegance in the premises, which they emphasized through sober aesthetic choices, and the presence of curves in a regular and fluid way. This way, the eye isn’t disturbed; the environment feels soft and familiar, and the essence can really focus on taste and smell – which is OSF’s core business.
Expertise and creativity, combined with a constant collaboration and communication between OSF Flavors and ARCH.DESIGN, have resulted in a beautiful, innovative workspace that combines functionality, aesthetics and the firm’s vision.

Flak was a projectile-based weapons system, usually ground-based, that was used against attacking airborne craft. AT-AAs used flak systems, as did flak guns aboard various capital ships. The shells could use either proximity or timed fuses and exploded with showers of shrapnel. They could be highly dangerous to enemy combat airspeeders or starfighters, but much less so against other, larger classes of fighting ships. They were often used as a point-defense weapon.

The focus of the Muskegon County Family Court's Establishment Division is to ensure that every child is supported by both of his or her parents. Our goal is to promote co-parenting, assist family in obtaining financial independence, seek and obtain child support orders, and obtain repayment of Medicaid disbursements.
Any person who is a parent or a guardian of a child is eligible to receive free assistance from the state's child support program regardless of income. Families who receive public assistance benefits (Food, Medicaid, Cash, or Child Development Care) and the parents do not live together are required to participate in the child support program in order to continue to receive state benefits. Participation includes providing all information that is requested by any staff member of the child support program, including Muskegon County Family Court Staff, and appearing for required meetings and hearings.
The Muskegon County Family Court's Establishment Division also establishes paternity for children where paternity has not previously been established. In the State of Michigan, paternity is established by:
- A Court Order
- An Affidavit of Parentage signed and filed with the Michigan Department of Vital Records
- Child conceived or born during a marriage (the husband is the legal father)
- Determination of Paternity under the laws of another state or country
The Establishment Division will use DNA testing to establish paternity in cases where paternity has not already been established.
While the Muskegon County Family Court's Establishment Division establishes paternity and child support orders, it is the job of the Friend of the Court to enforce all child support orders in Muskegon County.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! (ITV) and 100 Worst Britons (Channel 4)
It's that time of year again when reality TV hits the screens. Big Brother is back next week, but in the meantime we've had the delights of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The small advantage of these shows is that, unlike Fame Academy or Pop Idol, the participants don't sing. Well, not much, anyway.
Two and a half million votes were counted in the final of I'm A Celebrity. I reckon that must be about the same as the number of votes for the Scottish Parliament. It cost 25p a go to choose whether an ex-cricketer, an ex-footballer or a DIY design guru should be King (or Queen) of the Jungle. The bookies were set to lose thousands if the favourite, Phil Tufnell, failed to win (he won). But why did anyone care?
Well, there is a fair amount of amusement value to be had from celebrities you never liked much anyway having to do gruesome tasks involving creepy-crawly insects, snakes and rats in order to win their daily rations. But it's curious that we now accept that this is prime-time, big channel viewing. Ten or fifteen years ago, it was just the sort of thing everyone used to laugh at in a superior sort of way when Clive James showed clips of Japanese TV doing it. We'd never have that trash on British telly, surely?
Unlike Big Brother, which was fascinating largely because for weeks very little happened, Celebrity was carefully edited into clearly-labelled narratives to make it easy for the viewer. We had the "model is bitchy" story, the "recovering addict can't cope" story and the "terrible trio stay up late drinking, are a bit cliquey and annoy the other campers" story. This made the programme nice and easy for the audience to follow, which was useful if you'd been out drinking after work, rolled in and collapsed on the sofa. It was noticeable that the one quiet, unassuming bloke, Chris (from Corrie, I think), who everyone else seemed to get on with, got no attention from the producers at all.
TV's obsession with micro-celebrities showed up, too, in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons, almost all of whom were a similar variety of tabloid-fodder. It was interesting to note which non-C-listers managed to penetrate the programme: namely, in the top ten, the Queen, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. Between Tony Blair, who topped the poll, and Thatcher at number three, was Daily Star favourite Jordan. I'm glad to see objections to Blair top objections to tabloid tackiness, but, really, Jordan ahead of Thatcher? You're saying a few breast enlargement operations are worse than eleven years of Maggie? TV should get real.

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the man who wants to keep his bag of treasures cool and dry while performing at peak athletic prowess?
Sadly, if you live in the United States, you won’t be able to purchase a pair of Comfyballs underwear this holiday season.
The U.S. Patent and Trade Office has denied a trademark application submitted by Tonic Brands, the Norwegian company which makes Comfyballs.
The patent office bureaucrats who reviewed the application deemed the Comfyballs brand name “vulgar,” according to the Daily Mail.
The makers of Comfyballs promise that their special PackageFront technology will allow men who slip on a pair of the underwear to feel less heat and enjoy free, comfortable movement.
Comfyballs was established in 2013 and is currently available in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand for the hefty price of about $40 per pair.
Comfyballs founder Anders Selvig has indicated that he plans to seek a review of the rejected patent.
Trademarked names that apparently didn’t come up on anyone’s offense radar include “Cracka Azz Skateboards,” “teensdoporn.com” and “Uppity Negro.” (RELATED: 12 Trademarks Declared Less Offensive Than Redskins)
In June, the U.S. patent office cancelled six federal trademarks for the name of the Washington Redskins, citing a rule that does not allow the registration of any names that bring individuals or groups into contempt or disrepute. (RELATED: US Patent Office Cancels ‘Redskins’ Trademark)

Hey photog fam,
For my “emotional light” image I chose this macabre and moody image by Stanly Greene. The use of natural light gives a sense of fear, solitude and isolation.
For my “how-was-it-done light” image I came across this cool image called “Jet Age Man” by Ralph Morse. I thought the patterns were interesting and the entire image utilized light and flash in a creative way while also connecting with the photographer’s deeper message.
Both images turned out best with the Tungsten white balance, leading me to believe that the lights in the copy stand desk are Tungsten rather than Fluorescent. For my f-stops i started on f 8.0 so that I would have enough stops and half stops to bracket through throughout the shooting process (especially given the lens I used and the lowest f-stop available on the lens).
Approaching this assignment I already had some experience with white balance from an intro to photography course I took a while back and from some of my shoots from Fundamentals of Photojournalism last semester. For my final project I shot two subjects at their roller derby practices and the two skating venues they practiced at had different indoor lighting limitations. Typically I try to eyeball the type of lights used and use that white balance setting, but when a venue has a mixture of lights that gets tricky, so I look forward to learning more about light and blending light. Overall I got a better understanding of f-stops and how ISO and aperture work together. On a typical shoot I normally take a few test shots and I usually only adjust the ISO or shutter speed since I’m more familiar with those elements. But in this assignment I was forced to keep my ISO at 200 and I chose to keep my shutter speed at 20 so it was interesting seeing exactly how aperture affects an image outside of depth of field.

Summer is at its peak and the mercury level is rising by a notch every day. The scorching sun gives even more reasons to constantly hunt for some cooling and soothing foods which can comfort us. It is the time of year when you get dehydrated easily due to excess sweat and perspiration and that's the time when you want to reach out for something cold like sodas, beverages or even cold water. This is where we go wrong because anything extremely low in temperature can actually constrict our blood vessels and affect the heat loss process in our body. Here are a few tips you need to keep in mind to keep yourself cool:
- Increase your water intake: In high humidity conditions, you do not sweat adequately due to which you cannot release heat efficiently from your body. That is the reason why you need to drink enough water at regular intervals even if you are not thirsty to cool your system.
- Have eatables high in water content: Eat a lot of fresh fruits, raw salads and lightly spiced foods. Fruits and veggies are easy to digest and high in water content and hence help in hydration. Avoid fried and junk foods as they take time to digest and require a lot of water. Spicy foods can also increase body heat.
- Grab naturally cooling drinks: Drink naturally cooling beverages like coconut water, lemon juice, buttermilk and sugarcane juice, etc. Rather than aerated soft drinks, caffeine, and alcoholic beverages as they contain sugar and other preservatives which act as diuretics and can cause loss of water from the body. You can add sabja (tulsi seeds) to drinks as it has a cooling effect on the body.
- Have curd: Curd is excellent as it increases friendly bacteria in the gut and improves digestion and boosts immunity.
- Include veggies in diet: Add veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, beet etc to add to the extra water in your diet.
- Small meals: avoid heavy meals at one time as it can cause acidity and affect digestion. Rather eat small meals to feel light and keep your system active.
- Don't forget raw mango: In the summer season, raw mango is a special fruit and is extremely good to prevent sunstrokes and weakness. Raw mango juice also known as aam panna can help balance electrolytes in the body. You can also have raw mango in any form like adding it in bhel, salads or making a dish out of it.
You can divide your day's meals as per regular timings like:
Breakfast: 2-3 fresh fruits (this can help to neutralize your stomach acids and make you feel light and active as they are natural sources of energy).
- Mid morning: a glass of buttermilk/ coconut water (to refresh you).
- Lunch: salads + 1-2 rotis + veggies + thin dals (you can add or subtract the rotis as per your appetite and requirement).
- Evening: fruit yoghurt/fruit smoothie (they are filling, nourishing and cooling).
- Dinner: stir fried veggies/ chilled soups + grilled chicken/ steamed fish/ low fat paneer/ tofu + jaljeera/ lemon juice (to keep your dinner light and help you wake up afresh).
Stick to the plan and stay cool this summer!

Dr. Martin Pham, a neurosurgeon and Assistant Professor of Surgery at UC San Diego Health, is more active on social media than your average surgeon. He hails from a younger generation than most surgeons and shares notes from his journey through medical school, residency, and life as a doctor regularly in his Instagram posts.
Dr. Pham is a member of the National Spine Health Foundation’s Medical Y Scientific Board and we were able to speak with him directly on Instagram Live. He shared with us his passion behind surgery, lessons learned along way, and even a sneak peek behind his thought process going into a difficult surgery.
In this interview, Dr. Pham shares about how his training gives him unique perspective that he probably wouldn’t have obtained in a different vocation. Often facing life or death situations with patients, Dr. Pham says seeing those situations up close in his 20s and 30s made him “more philosophical about my purposes in life and living well.”
We’re thankful to Dr. Pham for taking the time out of his busy schedule to chat with us about his work, life, and some of the research he is doing in the field of robotics.
You can find more of Dr. Pham’s thoughts and observations, both sobering and enlightening, by following him on Instagram. Here’s a recent example:


At the time of its original construction back in 1943, the Maritime Center—located in the Bay Area near Berkley—provided childcare for Rosie the Riveters whose World War II duties kept them working in the nearby shipyards. The intended longevity of the structure didn’t initially exceed past the war, but the center remained in continuous operation for more than 50 years and is one of two of the 35 childcare centers from the era that still stands today. But a lack of a concrete foundation led to uneven settling and recent years of abandonment found the building in major disrepair. That is, until a consortium of groups came together and asked Hamilton + Aitken Architects to renovate the space.
The Rosie the Riveter Trust lead the overall effort (and acted as the overall project sponsor) by seeking grants and other funding to pay for the effort in conjunction with the National Park Services, who would soon share occupance of the building. The City of Richmond also provided funding as part of their redevelopment program, and the West Contra Costa Unified School District chipped in; as the new building would go on to house a charter school. Finally, the Richmond Community Foundation joined as the tenant for the second floor space.
Architect Chad Hamilton says that this amalgam, while exciting, led to major challenges, including the fact that the building had to be made safe and usable for children, the historic integrity of the space had to be preserved, and the funders required LEED certification (the latter was a no-brainer for Hamilton, whose firm always “takes energy savings and sustainability into consideration”).

“We started our sustainability design process by focusing on areas that would contribute the most to improve the building from a teaching and learning perspective,” Hamilton says. “Probably the most important sustainable elements for the school design are good acoustics, natural daylight, and high indoor air quality.” Taking this into account, the design features windows in every office and classroom space, skylights to improve and balance daylight, soundproofing, an exceptional heating and ventilation system, and no products that could emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The end result? A LEED Gold for Schools certification and achieved energy savings of more than 22% better than the required state standards.
The road to this coveted certification wasn’t without its bumps, as the team at Alten Construction says that new utilities, grading, paving, landscaping, irrigation, fencing, bio-swales, site accessories and improvements were all necessary. Building construction included a new foundation, structural repairs, seismic upgrades, complete re-roofing, selective reframing, salvage and reinstallation of indicated materials, rehabilitation of materials like doors and windows, insulation, finishes, and much more.
“When we first saw the building, it was sinking in multiple areas, it was unoccupied for many years, and just in bad shape,” says Alten Construction project manager James Mitchell, speaking with field superintendent Harry Torrano. “We pushed through the daily issues of a construction project and made it happen. I drive by it frequently now and can really say it looks really nice and has added a positive outlook on the neighborhood and community of Richmond.”
Hamilton notes that the requirements for preserving the building’s historic fabric also helped reinforce the team’s desire to rescue and reuse as much of the original building as possible. Not everything was salvageable though, as toxic materials and dryrot lingered on many of the materials. But most of the exterior wood siding and trim was reused, and interior features like casework and built-in furniture were restored, too. When entirely new materials were needed, Hamilton looked for modern equivalents of the materials that were used historically. The project is also punctuated by a turf yard, bio-swale areas for water treatment, cool roofing, and water filtration swales for diverting rainwater runoff.
Perhaps the most satisfying conclusion is the fact that the Maritime Center is located in one of the Bay Area’s more economically depressed communities, as Hamilton says, and the building will provide better educational opportunities and services to the community. “I’m so gratified to be a part of that effort because many of the ‘Rosies’ that worked in the shipyards around the San Francisco Bay moved here from all over the country, including the Deep South,” he says. “And when the war effort wound down, they were left without the good paying jobs they once had. The Maritime Center will do a little bit to help their grandchildren find better opportunities.”

Twenty-three La Boulange shops in the Bay Area will soon close, a decision made by parent company Starbucks.
La Boulange products will still be sold in Starbucks locations, the company said in a statement.
Starbucks paid $100 million to buy the San Francisco company in 2012, according to SFGate.
The most recent La Boulange location opened in San Francisco in January 2014 and was the company's 14th location in the city. There are also stores in Burlingame, Palo Alto, Mill Valley, Novato, Danville, Walnut Creek and Lafayette.
As the pastries fall, alcohol is a rising priority for the coffee titan. Starbucks continues to experiment with locations that serve wine, beer and appetizers: A new location hawking these items is planned for San Francisco.

When asked to make a playlist of summer jams, most people immediately think to include chill music. Music meant to complement feeling good, soaking up sun, swimming pools, et cetera. The archetypal summer playlist has a little bit of classic rock, a little bit of hip hop, definitely some reggae (though not much more adventurous than Bob Marley), and for those who like to kill many genre-birds with one stone, just a bunch of Sublime.
For me something feels hollow about these playlists. For me summer is not some hazy crossfaded daytime party, but is more like a sweaty, heated game of capture-the-flag. Whether it’s soccer, tennis, skateboarding, teaching myself NOFX guitar solos (2000), or failing to learn Between the Buried and Me guitar solos (2003-present), summer is fast and engaging. To honor the nostalgia I have for the unchill summer I wanted to post a track by an unknown (or maybe just forgotten) hardcore band, Someday Somehow.
“This Is How You Left Me” is short, simple, and ridiculously poppy. The recording quality is mediocre at best. The drums are galloping and the guitars are punchy. There are breakdowns that aren’t self-conscious and contrived. The lyrics are adolescent but unabashed (“I’m throwing rocks at your window / I’m singing under the lights / I’m holding my heart in my hands / Is that alright?”). There are few songs as effective as “This Is How Left Left Me” at conjuring the whimsical, hopeful energy of summer, and to think an obscure hardcore band was able to do it without smoking two joints in the morning or getting forty ounces to freedom.

Two NYPD cops sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn were shot at point-blank range and killed on Saturday afternoon by a man who, reports said traveled to the city from Baltimore vowing to kill cops. The suspect then killed himself with the same gun, according to authorities.
The NYPD cops, Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, were in the car near Myrtle and Tompkins Avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn. They were in the shadow of a tall housing project when the gunman, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, walked up to the passenger-side window and went willy nilly, Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said. Mr. Brinsley got the drop on the unsuspecting cops and shot several rounds into the heads and upper bodies. They never even had a chance.
The officers died from the wounds, which comes to no surprise after such an attack.
Unfortunately, this was one of the stupidest acts from the recent protesters. Not only were the two officers innocent and independent from the two crimes (Brown and Garner), but this only digs civilians into the ground in the long run.
Not only did this behavior not solve anything, it actually made things worse. The NYPD will now probably enforce more intrusive and strict laws to protect cops from crimes like this in the near future. Police will more likely be more nervous and less trust worthy of the public. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Put yourselves in a cops shoes. You’re an authority figure and must perform protocol on a potential suspect. The suspect is not complying and isn’t afraid of you when you pull your gun out. You’re likely to feel more powerless and out of panic, might shoot. Now the Garner story was pretty intense. No one deserved to go through what he did or to be handled the way he did.
Knowing that sometimes cops use excessive force, I personally would have just complied with the cops, then took care of my frustration in court. Garner, on the other hand was fed up with police and reacted emotionally. Not to say that it was his fault because police shouldn’t be using excessive force like that, but knowing the way cops are these days, I think I personally wouldn’t take any chances.
Because this idiot went wild and shot two cops, he’s ONLY going to make things worse for the cause. If anything, this will only make police more aggressive and will make the protesters look like wild, raging losers with no diplomacy, just animalistic impulsive behavior. There are people already working on changing things the way they are, but everything worthwhile takes time.
Now, this impatient asshole went for a short term solution that’s only going to delay the long term solution. Nice job. Thanks for shooting the whole movement in the foot.
Respect, ego and the public victory have no place in social and economic development. Those feelings and impulses only get in the way of true development. When someone feels disrespected, they want to go out of their way to disrespect someone else. Now, a vicious cycle is formed and no one is the bigger man.

Title: Licensed Realtor
Company: eXp Realty
Location: Napterville, IL
Education: BS in Finance and Economics (1985)
Career History: Realtor, eXp Realty, IL (2018-Present);
Realtor, Keller Williams Realty (2017-2018);
Realtor, Charles Rutenberg Realty (2010-2017)
With, Home Builders (1990-2007);
Loan Officer (1987-1990);
Mergers and Acquisitions (1985-1986)
Pamela Benda, Licensed Realtor at eXp Realty, has been recognized as a Marquis Emerging Leader for their contributions and achievements in the field of real estate.
Ms. Benda became involved in the real estate industry by accident. She would not have considered going into the field if she had not helped her friend who was about to quit real estate because she could not keep up with the technology. After assisting her and her team, she realized that she could actually do the job and decided to join their team.
Looking back to her previous jobs, she felt that all the positions she held were all involved in real estate and led her to becoming a strong Realtor. Supporting her career change to a Realtor, Ms. Benda originally earned a Bachelor of Science in finance and economics in 1985. During her career, she has worked in mergers and acquisitions, with home loans, and with home builders for 18 years, providing a wealth of experience that gives her a very broad understanding of the industry. Since earning her real estate license in 2010, she has been a Realtor with Charles Rutenberg Realty and Keller Williams Realty before joining eXp Realty in 2018. Ms. Benda specializes in assisting both home buyers and sellers.
Ms. Benda’s most notable achievement in her career is being able to read people, figure out what her clients’ needs are, and try to meet those needs. Additionally, she has also taught Sunday school to two to three-year-old children for about 33 years. That, for her along with helping to raise 5 kids, is her greatest accomplishment way beyond real estate. She has maintained professional affiliation with the National Association of Realtors and Mainstreet Organization of Realtors. In the next five years, she still sees herself selling real estate because she has never loved a job as much as she loves being a Realtor.

A BEAUTICIAN has started a new salon business in Hope Street, Filey.
Natalie Thompson made the move to The Beauty Room after working in the salon at Eden Health and Fitness in Scarborough for around three years.
She will be working alongside fellow beautician Rachel Stevenson and apprentice Vicky Haddington, who is currently studying beauty in Norton.
The salon offers treatments such as waxing, massage, facials and manicures.
Mrs Thompson, 26, said: “This is a new challenge for me and it’s going really well so far. We’ve settled in well and I’ve had some of my regular clients coming over.
“I would like to say a big thank you to all my clients for their support and I hope to see them soon at the new premises.”


Fifty Allied prisoners-of-war, whose exploits inspired the Hollywood film The Great Escape, were murdered on the direct orders of Adolf Hitler despite strong objections from senior German officers.
Previously undisclosed documents, released by the Public records Office yesterday, describe the tensions and acrimony among the German high command which surrounded the notorious atrocity.
A German officer, Major General Westhoff told MI5 after the war how an "excited and nervous" Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, a loyal Hitler follower in charge of PoW camps, had summoned him to a meeting shortly after 80 Allied airmen escaped from the camp Stalag Luft III at Sagan, east Germany, in March 1944.
"Gentleman, this is a bad business," said Keitel and told how he had been admonished by the Luftwaffe commander Hermann Goering in the presence of SS head Heinrich Himmler, and warned he must "set an example" to other prisoners. "We shall have to take very severe measures," Keitel said. "I can only tell you the men who have escaped will be shot; probably the majority of them are dead already."
When told it was "out of the question" to execute recaptured men, the field marshal said: "I don't care a damn. We discussed it in the Fuhrer's presence and it cannot be altered."
Westhoff was told Hitler and Himmler had decided the matter between them. "The Fuhrer always took a hand in these affairs when officers escaped," he said. Fifty of the prisoners were shot by police or Gestapo, their bodies burnt and their ashes returned to the camp in urns.
"For the burial, the PoWs arranged with the protecting power that they should be allowed to erect a nice monument, which they made themselves."
He spoke of the "honour" of the British officers, and claimed he had once told a meeting of the German high command: "Gentlemen, we act only according to the (Geneva) Convention." The chilling response came from a Nazi Party official: "Gentlemen, the convention is a scrap of paper which doesn't interest us."
RAF investigators tracked 21 of the Nazi killers after the war. They were tried and executed. The story was turned into a successful film in 1963 starring Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough and a host of other British and American stars.
Further documents released by the PRO also reveal how SS general Gottlieb Berger asked Hitler to commit suicide in Berlin rather than flee to safety. "I told him he could not betray the German people, and that it was very easy - to put a bullet through one's head or to take one of those pills or tubes issued, which worked instantaneously," said Berger.Reuse content

Obi-Wan Kenobi stars have come forward to speak in support of the co-star, Moses Ingram. The actress has been facing backlash on Twitter and even received hateful texts from the ‘fans’ of the Star Wars franchise. Moses Ingram even posted a story with screenshots of all the hateful and racist messages she has received, followed by a video. A number of fans came to speak in favor of the actress. The character she is playing in the series is Reva and she is one of the key antagonists of the season. Now, Hayden Christensen also speaks in favor of the actress.
Hayden Christensen appreciates Moses Ingram’s acting in Obi-Wan Kenobi
In a conversation with ET, the actor spoke about the recent events. He said, “I’ve heard a little bit about that and, obviously, it really saddens me. I think the world of Moses. She’s not only a lovely person and human being but an incredibly talented actress.” Hayden Christensen is reprising his role of Darth Vader in the Disney+ series.
He continued to talk about Moses Ingram as Reva. He praised the actress. He added, “The first time I saw the first couple of episodes, I was blown away by her performance and just thought that the subtleties and nuances that she brought to this character were there and really impressive. So, I mean, I hope by the end of the series, people are coming around. I think she’s done a great job and I think [Reva] is an important character and people will come to realize that.”
Many have spoken in favor of Moses Ingram on Twitter
Apart from the huge rally of fan tweets taking over Twitter, many celebrities came forward to speak in favor of Moses Ingram. Including the official handle of Star Wars and Ewan McGregor, who is the lead in the series and one of the producers. Star Wars wrote on their official Twitter, “We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva’s story to unfold. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist.”
Ewan McGregor posted a video speaking against the racist comments. He said, “As the leading actor in the series, as executive producer on the series, [know] that we stand with Moses. We love Moses. And if you’re sending her bullying messages, you’re no Star Wars fan in my mind. There’s no place for racism in this world.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi is now streaming on Disney+.


The Pixel Fold is one of Google’s most complicated pieces of hardware ever, but what does it look like inside? The Pixel line doesn’t get much teardown love from iFixit anymore (despite an official partnership), but PBK Reviews is still a reliable source for timely teardowns of Google’s latest phones.
As usual, the Pixel Fold is glued together, so you’ll need to heat up the back and front screen and then pry everything off. The camera side of the device has most of the normal phone components, such as the three cameras, the SoC, storage, modem, bottom speaker and USB-C port, and it also houses a 1489 mAh battery. The other side is mostly the battery, with a large 3332 mAh battery, the exterior camera, haptic feedback vibrator, earpiece and SIM tray.
It doesn’t look like there’s much room for recoverability. The USB-C port lives on the motherboard, so it will be difficult to replace it. PBK Reviews didn’t even try to pry off the flexible screen because of “a high probability of damaging or breaking the screen,” but presumably there’s just a large sheet of metal underneath. With all the parts removed, you can see how the two sides communicate as a series of ribbon cables threading their way through the hinge.
The next step for the Pixel Fold in repairability is Google’s partnership with iFixit, which should launch an official parts store for the phone. Then we can see how much a new flexible display will cost and official guides to replace it. It is unclear how long it will take for the parts store to open. Google and iFixit still haven’t released parts for the Pixel 7a, and that phone launched in May.

New Temporary Indoor Mask Mandate
On Monday, December 13, the California Department of Public Health issued guidance temporarily requiring masks to be worn in all indoor public settings, irrespective of vaccine status from December 15, 2021, to January 15, 2022. The Department of Public Health is concerned about the increased number of hospitalizations and cases in California, as well as the spread of the omicron variant.
Some counties, such as Los Angeles and several Bay Area counties, already had indoor mask requirements.
The new guidance is located here.

Published online Nov. 4, the multi-institutional study strengthens a growing body of research documenting the earlier onset of puberty in girls of all races.
"The impact of earlier maturation in girls has important clinical implications involving psychosocial and biologic outcomes," said Frank Biro, MD, lead investigator and a physician in the Division of Adolescent Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "The current study suggests clinicians may need to redefine the ages for both early and late maturation in girls."
Girls with earlier maturation are at risk for a multitude of challenges, including lower self-esteem, higher rates of depression, norm-breaking behaviors and lower academic achievement. Early maturation also results in greater risks of obesity, hypertension and several cancers – including breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer.
The study was conducted through the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Program, established by the National Institute of Environmental Health Science. Pediatrics is the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Researchers at centers in the San Francisco Bay Area, Cincinnati and New York City examined the ages of 1,239 girls at the onset of breast development and the impact of body mass index and race/ethnicity. The girls ranged in age from 6 to 8 years at enrollment and were followed at regular intervals from 2004 to 2011. Researchers used well-established criteria of pubertal maturation, including the five stages of breast development known as the Tanner Breast Stages.
The girls were followed longitudinally, which involved multiple regular visits for each girl. Researchers said this method provided a good perspective of what happened to each girl and when it occurred.
Researchers found the respective ages at the onset of breast development varied by race, body mass index (obesity), and geographic location. Breast development began in white, non-Hispanic girls, at a median age of 9.7 years, earlier than previously reported. Black girls continue to experience breast development earlier than white girls, at a median age of 8.8 years. The median age for Hispanic girls in the study was 9.3 years, and 9.7 years for Asian girls.
Body mass index was a stronger predictor of earlier puberty than race or ethnicity. Although the research team is still working to confirm the exact environmental and physiological factors behind the phenomenon, they conclude the earlier onset of puberty in white girls is likely caused by greater obesity.
Other institutions collaborating on the study include: Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland, Calif.; Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York; California Department of Public Health and the University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco; and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
Funding support for the study came from: the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute (grant numbers U01ES012770, U01ES012771, U01ES012800, U01ES012801, U01ES019435, U01ES019453, U01ES019454, U01ES019457), with additional support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (P01ES009584, P30ES006096); the National Center for Research Resources (UL1RR024131, UL1RR029887, UL1RR026314); the Molecular Epidemiology in Children's Environmental Health training grant (T32-ES10957); and the Avon Foundation.

For the first time ever, scientists have determined the cosmic origin of highest-energy neutrinos. A research group led by IceCube scientist Elisa Resconi, spokesperson of the Collaborative Research Center SFB1258 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), provides an important piece of evidence that the particles detected by the IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole originate from a galaxy four billion light-years away from Earth.
To rule out other origins with certainty, the team led by neutrino physicist Elisa Resconi from the Technical University of Munich and multi-wavelength...

Physicists working with Roland Wester at the University of Innsbruck have investigated if and how chemical reactions can be influenced by targeted vibrational excitation of the reactants. They were able to demonstrate that excitation with a laser beam does not affect the efficiency of a chemical exchange reaction and that the excited molecular group acts only as a spectator in the reaction.
A frequently used reaction in organic chemistry is nucleophilic substitution. It plays, for example, an important role in in the synthesis of new chemical...

Ultra-short, high-intensity X-ray flashes open the door to the foundations of chemical reactions. Free-electron lasers generate these kinds of pulses, but there is a catch: the pulses vary in duration and energy. An international research team has now presented a solution: Using a ring of 16 detectors and a circularly polarized laser beam, they can determine both factors with attosecond accuracy.
Free-electron lasers (FELs) generate extremely short and intense X-ray flashes. Researchers can use these flashes to resolve structures with diameters on the...
