For some reason that I cannot fathom, ancient literature and legend imply that everything was hunky-dory until dames came along. Saturday night must have been pretty slow back then. Pandora, for example, as the first woman, is an affliction intentionally created to offset the blessing of fire. She's beautiful and talented, but reading between the lines, she apparently can run rings around her dodo husband, Epimetheus. His name, after all, means "Mr. Hindsight," whereas hers means "the all-gifted."
Through no fault of her own, Pandora comes equipped with a box full of nasty surprises, which of course gets opened and every kind of misery flies out. But, she gets blamed for it anyway.
Adam-another First Guy, and like the rest of them as dumb as a box of hammers-is originally created with a mate, same as all the other animals. But, Lilith is not only smart and good-looking, she's got an independent streak in her a mile wide, and tells Adam to take a hike when he insists that she do what he says. Out into the wilderness goes Lilith, and in a world-class bad mood, too.
Adam gets a new wife, made out of his superfluous 13th rib, and in no time at all, this one manages to feed him a forbidden pomegranate, and thereby introduces evil into the world. Adam shifts the blame onto Eve, who in turns fingers the wily trickster, who told her exactly what would happen if she did eat it. She'd get smart, is what. Maybe men realized early on that if it weren't that they're bigger and stronger, they wouldn't stand a chance.

In this post, longtime Prime Mentors of Canada volunteer mentor, Guy Hamel, shares a note about his 2015-2016 protégés Afia and Safiyya from Thorncliffe Junior Public School.
Originally, I met with each of the girls separately to discuss possible topics and approaches to the research that would be involved. I knew that the two were classmates and close friends. I met with the two together with the notion that each could, once the separate presentations were close to completion, step in as an assistant. I had worked with such arrangements a few times in the past. However, during that initial meeting I realized that the two were extremely congenial, worked together intimately as a team, offered advice, challenged suggestions, were remarkably creative. Their enthusiasm as workmates was an irresistible asset; and I recognized that we should meet together, each of the girls taking a turn as presenter and assistant.
The topics chosen—Safiyya on The Human Brain and Afia on The Human Immune System—were extremely challenging. The presenters realized that they had to demonstrate rather than relate the information they wished to share with their audience. Thy found ways to involve their listeners. They invented what they called "skits"—dramatic interchanges between the two of them—to make certain points, as in demonstrating the cognitive process in decision making from prefrontal cortex to the amygdala and back to the reasoning function to invoke rationalization. They were clever, engaging, and successful.
The result of the project for me was an extremely happy association with my young colleagues; the result for them was to receive scholarships for the outstanding quality of their presentation.
Guy Hamel
Mentor, PMC
Congratulations to Afia and Safiyya and Guy on a job well done!

With another successful year under the belt, July was a time for Prime Mentors of Canada to celebrate! On July 12th PMC gathered to celebrate the work of volunteer mentors during the 2015-2016 school year. As Program Director Barbara Worth and School Coordinator Murray Greenwood noted,
Prime Mentors of Canada appreciates the work that all of our Mentors do to support the creative development of their protégés. Over a period of months you work side by side with students, making sure they are able to achieve their goals in developing their projects, and then supporting them through the presentation process.
The luncheon was a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to meet each other and to celebrate the work of their protégés. Not to mention, it was an opportunity to share our stories over a delicious meal at the elegant University of Toronto Faculty Club.
Another Successful Year!

In Praise of Mentors
Pianist Thomas Torok & Friends
What a wonderful concert it was…
Honouring mentors, especially the Prime Mentors of Canada (PMC) volunteer mentors, who have contributed tremendously in the personal and academic growth of bright young people who are at risk of not developing their full potential!
In Praise of Mentors: Pianist Thomas Torok & Friends (photos from concert programme)
The eighteen year old pianist, Thomas Torok, completely took away the breath of the audience for his awesome rendition of Chopin's Scherzo No. 2, Op. 31 and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.6, S244. Equally superlative was the performance of Andrew Chan who made the harp sing so melodiously with the gentle grace and elegance of the touch of his fingers. The delightful musical programme was complemented so very well by Sharon Lee, an accomplished violinist, and the Odin Quartet.
The Prime Mentors of Canada extends its warmest appreciation to the Toronto Concert Orchestra for organizing the event and for dedicating it to mentors on Mother's Day, invariably everyone's first mentors, and for raising the awareness of people in the community about PMC and it's Vision-Mission.
More photos from the event to come!
We Asked Our Scholarship Winners: How could schools assist young people in becoming active in their communities?
On February 1, 2016 January 18, 2016 By Prime Mentors VolunteerIn About Prime Mentors of CanadaLeave a comment
Since the 2000/2001 school year, Prime Mentor of Canada has awarded scholarships to the most outstanding students upon the completion of their PMC project. Over the years, we've checked in with scholarship winners at different stages of their education and careers. In this post, we share their answers to the question: How could schools assist young people in becoming active in their communities?
Glothen, 2006/2007 scholarship winner: Young people become active when they are enjoying what they are doing. So, in order for them to contribute to the community, I think we should get them occupied in various activities such as fundraisers, fairs, etc. Also, we can start up clubs in which they can try and get them active within their communities in a way that seems appealing to them (e.g. different sports clubs).
Samantha, 2001/2002 scholarship winner: Schools could help youth in becoming more active in their communities by announcing various events and activities that are available for participation. – Samantha participated in community events with her fellow classmates such as the Angel Foundation for Learning Fun Walk.
Jamuna, 2006/2007 scholarship winner: I think schools should focus less on the number of hours students need to volunteer but more so the impact the volunteering has had on the student. Quality of the time spent volunteering should be weighed more than the quantity. Inspire students to do more meaningful volunteering.
Priyanga, 2003/2004 scholarship winner: The most important aspect needed for schools to assist young people in becoming active in their communities is encouragement. Young people should become aware that they will have the support of their schools in whatever endeavours they take part in.
Nasif, 2006/2007 scholarship winner: Schools should have programmes that involve kids and the community. The community and the school can work together to create programmes that kids will be interested in and will also be food for the community. Programmes such as gardening in the community, cleaning the community, help plan community events and help around the community.

PMC founder speaks to alumni about Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats
On January 2, 2016 August 4, 2016 By Prime Mentors VolunteerIn Volunteer MentorsLeave a comment
During the PMC Alumni Season's Get Together in December, PMC founder Professor Conchita Tan-Willman spoke to alumni about employing Edward de Bono's "Six Thinking Hats" before making major decisions in our lives and in meeting personal and professional challenges.
In this post, Tan-Willman provides a brief introduction to the topic.
One of the best ways to maximize our thinking prowess in meeting challenges is to learn some tools to be able to direct the different thinking modes in different directions at will. The fullest use of our intelligence, experience and knowledge is made possible by sensitizing it in various aspects of an issue at different times. When we try to do many things at the same time, the result is suboptimal. Confusion is the biggest result when our focus is divided into many facets of a challenge simultaneously.
Edward De Bono's Six Thinking Hats provides a simple, constructive, creative and practical guide to parallel thinking that guides in harnessing specific, concrete and practical results as we explore the various angles of any issue/challenge clearly one aspect at a time. The thinker is guided to think about "what can be" not just about "what is".
Each of the thinking mode is represented by a colored hat for easy visualization and imaging of the actual thinking hats. Each is related to specific functions.
White Hat: Neutral and objective. Concerned with objective facts and figures.
Red Hat: Gives the emotional viewpoint. Subjective.
Yellow Hat: Sunny and optimistic. Positive and covers hope.
Black Hat: Somber, cautious and careful. Points out the danger, weaknesses in an idea.
Green Hat: Indicates creativity … new ideas, possibilities and alternatives.
Blue Hat: Provides an overview/summary of the issue at hand and plans the layout of what should be happening. Controls process sequencing like a music conductor. Calls on particular hats for inputs on the subject.
The method could be used by a person by her/himself or by a group in formal or informal setting.

We Asked Our Scholarship Winners: What was the impact of receiving the PMC scholarship on you and/or your family?
On December 1, 2015 January 18, 2016 By Prime Mentors VolunteerIn About Prime Mentors of CanadaLeave a comment
Since the 2000/2001 school year, Prime Mentor of Canada has awarded scholarships to the most outstanding students upon the completion of their PMC project. Over the years, we've checked in with a few scholarship winners to ask them the question: What was the impact of receiving the PMC scholarship on you and/or your family?
Nasif, 2006/2007 scholarship winner: Receiving the PMC scholarship gave me confidence and encouragement so I could achieve this kind of achievement again… For my family and me it was a happy moment that I got the scholarship. It was also a sign for my family that I am capable of doing good. I am looking forward to achieve more goals.
Carly, 2001/2002 scholarship winner: I received the PMC scholarship when I was graduating from elementary school. At the time, I wasn't the top student in my grade and lacked the confidence to believe that I could excel in high school. The scholarship encouraged me and provided the motivation to do well in high school… Furthermore, the PMC scholarship provided me with the reassurance that there would be a way to fund my post-secondary education… The generosity of the donors allowed me to witness firsthand a society giving back to younger generations… I would be honoured to sponsor a PMC scholarship for a student in the future.
Jannie, 2002/2003 scholarship winner: Receiving the PMC scholarship taught me that hard work and determination are important qualities to recognize in the process of obtaining a goal even though it may seem impossible to achieve. It has encouraged me to mentor and tutor others with the purpose of sharing the invaluable knowledge, which I have gained through the PMC mentoring program.
Jamuna, 2006/2007 scholarship winner: The PMC scholarship encouraged and motivated me to pursue post-secondary education.
Menal, 2006/2007 scholarship winner: The impact of receiving the PMC scholarship on me has been so amazing. It's given me the confidence and encouragement to strive for more and work my best. It has been a huge financial help as secondary education can cost a lot of money.

Nearly 27 years ago Prime Mentors of Canada was featured for the first time (but not the last) in the Toronto Star. Although PMC has come a long way since the article was published, and a lot has changed in education through the years, one thing that remains the same is the need to match volunteer mentors with students. These matches produce a "creative symbiosis" that benefit the young students and the talented volunteers.

Here is an "old school" Lamiglas build I just finished for a friend in the States. The blank was sourced out from Matt Leiderman, who is known for building many rods on these beautiful honey yellow blanks. It has stiffer tip, softer mid with power down below for smooth casts with streamers and poppers. The rod is appointed very simply and understated with one of my Lemke signature anodised reel seats and a nice brownish spalted wood, black snake guides and stripping guide wrapped in gold-orange silk tipped chestnut. Thanks for looking!


While the term "diet foods" likely makes you picture flavorless steamed entrees and endless celery sticks, weight loss food doesn't have to be boring. In fact, you'll lose more weight opting for super-flavorful foods you really love, so that you're constantly inspired to try new dishes and stick to your diet for life. So forget about most boring "diet" staples -- these delicious foods will delight your tastebuds and help you slim down.
Good news – that totally Pinterest-worthy avo toast is actually a great way to lose weight! Avocados are packed with tons of fiber, a slow-digesting carb that keeps your blood sugar levels stable, which helps fight off cravings. And their healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs, have been shown in animal studies to boost fat loss. Try eating a morning egg baked into an avocado. Or try one of these 8 easy ways to add avocado to your meals.
You probably only think of lentils as humble bulk food fare – if you think of them at all – but they're one of the best, and cheapest, foods to help you slim down. Lentils are one of the few foods that pack in tons of protein and fiber – more than 15 grams of each per serving. That's great for weight loss, since both protein and fiber boost satiety. Translation: you'll feel satisfied and full between meals, not so ravenous you'll be tempted to hit the drive-thru on your way home. Season plain lentils with lemon juice and fresh basil for a burst of bright flavor, season them with Indian spices, or use lentils as a meat extender in your favorite recipes, like burgers, chili and lasagna.
Skinless chicken breast gets the most attention as a diet staple, but adding skinless turkey breast to your diet is actually better for shedding pounds. It's higher in protein than chicken breast, at 26 grams per serving compared to 16 grams. That gives you a weight loss advantage, since you burn up to 10 times more calories breaking down protein during digestion than other nutrients. Skip the sodium-laden deli turkey that'll make you bloat. Instead, roast your own turkey breast and slice thin with a sharp knife.
From ancient Inca superfood, to infomercial staple, to new health food craze, chia seeds fiber and calcium content. Upping your calcium intake seems to fend off belly fat, and one study found that women who don't get enough calcium are more likely to pack on extra pounds. Sprinkle chia over your avocado toast, stir it into oatmeal or smoothies, or use it to make delicious spiced chia pudding.
Calorie for calorie, you can't get more nutritious than greens. Each cup of raw spinach offers half the immune-boosting vitamin A you need for the day, all the bone-building vitamin K you need, plus a gram of filling fiber. And best of all, at 7 calories per cup, you can enjoy basically all you can eat to stay full without breaking your diet. Start your lunch and dinner with a heaping spinach salad, slice spinach to add to your scrambled eggs (they're especially delicious with a little low-fat feta) and add a few handfuls of spinach to your smoothies.
Hello, hydration! Cucumber isn't just low-cal, it's also over 95% water by weight. That's great for weight loss – water-rich foods have a low energy density, so you can eat a big portion without getting too many calories (yes, please!). Not to mention that water helps you liver burn fat, plus staying hydrated keeps your skin glowing.Cool down in water weather with DIY chilled cucumber soup. Just blend cucumber with your favorite veggies and herbs – try zucchini, tomato, avocado and basil for a Mediterranean-inspired bowl – and add a little almond milk until it reaches the right consistency. Use sliced cucumber instead of chips to enjoy salsa, guacamole or hummus without the guilt! Or infuse it into water with citrus and mint to help manage mild bloating.
Almonds might be high in calories, at around 160 calories per ounce, but making room for them in your diet will help you lose weight, reports a recent study. Almonds are difficult to break down, so you burn more calories during digestion, and they're high in prebiotics to nourish the healthy microbes in your gut. Opt for dry-roasted or raw almonds and add your own flavorings. A dash of cayenne and a pinch of lime juice, or a mix of cinnamon and ginger both fire up your metabolism, as well as add flavor to your snack. Or try making this surprisingly simple homemade almond butter recipe and add a tablespoon of it to a nice crisp apple.
Sick of Greek yogurt? Upgrade your diet with kefir, a drinkable type of dairy with a tart, yogurt-like flavor. You'll get the same healthy protein and calcium benefits as other dairy products, plus tons of active probiotics to nourish the friendly bacteria in your digestive tract. That's important for weight loss, since an imbalance in your gut flora contributes to obesity, and might even make it hard for you to absorb nutrients. Add kefir to your smoothies for tangy flavor, or blend with it frozen acai and other berries for a probiotic smoothie bowl.
Low-calorie? Check. Detoxifying? Check. Delicious? Check. When it comes to diet foods, lemons are a triple threat, and using lemons in your cooking can keep "diet" foods from getting too bland. You'll also get lots of vitamin C, which keeps your skin glowing and helps you fight off that pesky office cold. Use a squeeze of lemon juice with black pepper, dill or chopped basil to flavor chicken turkey breasts or fish, add slices of lemon to your water for more flavor or mix lemon into your green juice to cut "grassy" flavors. For an extra boost, check out How to Safely Do a One Day Lemon Cleansing Diet.
Sure, green tea gets the most attention when it comes to weight loss, but rooibos tea has similar benefits. Like green tea, it's virtually calorie-free so you can veer from just drinking plain water without expanding your waistline. And an animal study found that rooibos actually slowed down weight gain caused by stress. Steep vanilla-flavored rooibos in the fridge overnight for a no-calorie iced tea. The rooibos will keep you hydrated and slim, while the vanilla scent offers natural stress-busting aromatherapy.

Alfonso Ponce de León, né le  à Malaga et mort le  à Madrid, est un artiste peintre espagnol lié au réalisme magique.

Biographie
De 1923 à 1927, il étudie à l'Académie royale des beaux-arts Saint-Ferdinand, où il rencontre Salvador Dalí, Maruja Mallo, ainsi que sa future épouse Margarita Manso. Influencé par l'essai de Franz Roh sur le réalisme magique, il développe une œuvre figurative aux accents étranges, et devient un acteur important des avant-gardes à Madrid sous la Seconde République. À titre d'exemple, il illustre les couvertures de Cazador en el alba de Francisco Ayala en 1930 ou encore La esfinge maragata de Concha Espina en 1931, et dessine les décors pour L'Abuseur de Séville mis en scène par La Barraca de Federico García Lorca en 1933. Il participe à divers salons madrilènes, dont deux fois à l'Exposition nationale des beaux-arts, et organise son unique exposition personnelle en 1935, au Centro de Exposición e Información de la capitale espagnole.

Également cinéphile, il est lié à Luis Buñuel et Edgar Neville (qui le fait jouer dans ses courts-métrages Falso noticiario et Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol), et fonde le ciné-club du Sindicato Español Universitario. Hors d'Espagne, il passe six mois à Paris où il rencontre Pablo Picasso, et il intègre les expositions de la  à Copenhague (Kunsthal Charlottenborg, 1932) et Berlin (galerie Alfred Flechtheim, 1933).

Sur le plan politique, il adhère aux idées phalangistes : il fréquente la tertulia de « La Ballena Alegre », dessine le logo du déjà cité Sindicato Español Universitario, publie des illustrations dans l'hebdomadaire Arriba, dessine des affiches de propagande... Arrêté par les Républicains au début de la Guerre d'Espagne, il est détenu quelques jours dans la checa du Círculo de Bellas Artes, puis fusillé le .

Œuvres au Musée Reina Sofía de Madrid

Postérité
Mort prématurément à 30 ans, puis marginalisé par la critique d'art à cause de son soutien au franquisme, Alfonso Ponce de León n'est réhabilité qu'à partir de la fin des années 1990. En 1997, le Musée d'Art moderne de Paris l'inclut dans l'exposition « Années 30 en Europe : le temps menaçant ». En 2001, le Musée Reina Sofía de Madrid organise une rétrospective et expose désormais ses œuvres aux côtés de celles des surréalistes Salvador Dalí ou Ángeles Santos Torroella. En 2009, Jim Jarmusch rend hommage à son fameux Autoportrait (Accident) prémonitoire dans The Limits of Control. En 2017, la mairie de Madrid décide d'installer une plaque commémorative à sa dernière adresse, au n°2 du Paseo de la Castellana.

City demands $3 million refund from Water District
by The AV Times Staff • August 29, 2011
PALMDALE – The City of Palmdale has filed a claim seeking more than $3 million in financial reimbursement from the Palmdale Water District (PWD) from charges that were collected through the Water District's rate hike, which began in July 2009, according to a statement from the City Monday.
"The Palmdale Water District has been illegally overcharging thousands of customers for over 2 years and they all deserve a full and complete return of their money," said Palmdale City Attorney Matthew Ditzhazy. "The fig leaf approach that the PWD attempted last week with its so-called 'fix' of one part of the wholly invalid rate increase and the paltry refund of about $9 to maybe a fifth of its ratepayers was laughable."
In its claim, dated August 26, 2011, the City sites the recent ruling by the California Court of Appeals that "… the PWD has failed to carry its burden to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Article XIII D [California Constitution]," commonly known as Proposition 218 or "The Right to Vote on Taxes Act."
At the request of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and attorney Jack Cohen, one of the drafters of Proposition 218, the Court of Appeals agreed to publish its opinion in order to provide guidance to other water districts and public entities on the application of Proposition 218.
"Now that the court has determined what the Palmdale Water District has failed to comprehend, despite repeated efforts by the City, that its rate increases were unconstitutional and invalid, it should do the right thing and immediately refund the overcharges to its customers," said Ditzhazy. "Refunds should be made to all rate payers, including the City."
The City's claim seeks reimbursement for the PWD's "erroneous" billings, as well as damages caused to City parks brought on by water reductions in response to the rate hike. The City of Palmdale began reducing the amount of water being applied to all City parks and landscaping located in the PWD service area in July 2009 following the rate hike.
The City is also demanding that the Palmdale Water District return to the rate structure it had in place prior to its price hike.
"If after returning to the legal rates pre-July 2009, the Palmdale Water District intends to increase their rates, they should do so in full compliance with the law as outlined in the California Constitution," said Ditzhazy.

Mestre Pedro
Mestre Pedro started training capoeira at the age of 7 even though from the age of four he was brought along by his dad, Mestre Gato to capoeira events.
Arrived in the UK 16th of May 2000. He was based in Edinburgh for 6 years and he also regularly taught in Glasgow, Stirling and Dundee.
Moved to Cambridge 2006 and today he supervises capoeira schools in many UK cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Northampton, Sheffield, Grantham Cambridge, Leicester and
Wrexham) and helped his students to establish schools in the Basque country, Barcelona, Iran, Indonesia and China. In Indonesia there are schools based in 7 cities and over 300 students.
He was awarded the level of Mestre (Master) in July 2011 by Group Senzala one of the oldest Capoeira Groups in the World.
He has worked in Partnership with Capoeira 4 Refugees, a British UK Charity that uses Capoeira as a tool to help children heal the wounds of war, violence and forced displacement in the Middle
East with trips to Palestine and Jordan in 2015.
"Capoeira is such a part of my life, I cannot remember when I saw it the first time. I was born into it. I started training by the age of 7 but way before that I was around it, surrounded by it. My father is a great Capoeira enthusiast. Back in the 60ies he with friends founded the group that would become the iconic Grupo Senzala. This group was a part of my family growing up.
Somehow my photo became art on a building off Brick Lane.
I trained initially 2 times a week. By 16 I started traveling with my father to other events and the relationship with capoeira grew stronger. I started training more regularly.
Capoeira is so many things for me that it's quite hard to describe it. However one thing that I realized very early on was that Capoeira could open many doors to places and people I would not come across otherwise. It helped me get to know parts of Rio where many would not dare to go. It allowed me later on to travel abroad and make a living out of it, something that had never crossed my mind.
I came over to the UK sixteen years ago. All I had was a ticket, 20 pounds and 30 dollars in my wallet, plus some 18 berimbaus I made it myself and the will to give it a good shot at it. Since then I slowly built up my work, made many friends traveled the world doing what I love. Everything I have I owe to Capoeira, my mestre, my family, my teachers, instructors and students.

I teach regularly in Cambridge, Grantham and Northampton. I am also available for private classes, shows and workshops."


Filing and deferred disposition agreements each provide a way to arrive at dismissal of a criminal charge. Filing agreements have been around longer than deferred disposition agreements. Filings are governed by Rule 11B of the Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure. In a filing agreement, the prosecutor and the defendant agree that if certain conditions are met during the filing term, the case will be dismissed at the end of that term. If the terms are not met, the state may move to reinstitute the charge, which is to say they may re-commence the prosecution. The maximum filing period is one year. Sometimes cases are filed for 6 months, and sometimes for a matter of weeks or for a month simply as a vehicle to extract "court costs" from the defendant. Always, the agreement calls for the defendant not to engage in any criminal conduct or conduct of the same nature as that involved in the filed charge, and sometimes the agreement involves a condition that the defendant must not commit any other violations of law at all, including traffic infractions or civil violations, during the filing term. Filing agreements sometimes include a condition that the person must perform a certain amount of community service, which often must be completed before the agreement is actually filed with the court clerk. Filing agreements also commonly include a condition that the person must pay court costs. Before 2009, it was necessary for a judge or justice to approve a filing that involved court costs, and the amount of costs was to be justified by the actual cost of the prosecution (which was impossible to establish). Under a 2009 rule change, the Law Court dispensed with both requirements. Now a filing on costs does not have to be approved by a judge or justice and costs can be in any amount that does not exceed the maximum possible fine for the charge. The prosecutor and the defendant simply sign the agreement and file it in the clerk's office. At the end of the filing term, if the conditions have been met, the charge is to be dismissed by the court clerk and that is the end of the matter. There is one exception that allows a prosecutor to reinstitute a charge or bring a separate prosecution for the same charge without cause, but that requires the prosecutor to expressly reserve the right to do so in the filing agreement. In my experience, it is extremely rare for a prosecutor to seek to insert such a clause. Especially for those who are serious about avoiding trouble with the law during the filing term, a filing agreement provides a tremendous opportunity to nail down the dismissal of a criminal charge.


It's a different animal: cleaning for an event (the correct term is "accident," but let's not talk about that) versus cleaning as a regular activity. Your focus is more directed, targeting a tangible moment (or moments) rather than cleaning to carve away at the grime that life leaves behind – the film that coats every little thing – the windowsill, the tops of shelves left bare, the tops of books on shelves attempting to hide their bareness with volumes of pretty words. And isn't that what I do? Hide behind pretty words I write? So isn't that what I'm really seeking? A vulnerability that is clean – sterile, purified? It takes so much routine cleaning to maintain a level of "normal" in a home, and yet the task is so thankless, so behind-the-scenes that it feels futile. And yet we carry—I carry—on this burden, this cross in silence.
Ah, Catholicism. There you are again! The need to atone, the original sin that makes me a bad person, the need for penance and suffering. Are these ideas what eat away at my self-esteem? Or is it because I already had these feelings of worthlessness that I so willingly took these teachings to heart?
It's a downward spiral nonetheless. And I still have to vacuum.

Mute buttons, Musk trackers and meeting hacks
Your five-minute guide to the best of Protocol (and the internet) from the week that was, from the rise of the mute button to the saga of Elon Musk's flight tracker and the future of NFTs.
The hackiest home office hacks
Three words: Hardware. Mute. Button.
Like so many people over the last couple of years, I've spent a lot of time and money outfitting my home office. Too much of both, my wife would argue. But given how much time we're all spending at our desks/dining room tables/makeshift garage spaces, it's worth the investment.
Outside of the exceedingly obvious stuff (a comfy chair, a decent set of headphones) the single best thing I did was set the Back button on my mouse to mute and unmute my microphone in Zoom. Now I don't have to fumble for the microphone logo or remember to press and hold the space bar; I just click to talk, and click when I'm done.
There are lots of ways to accomplish the same goal: You can rig your own with a Raspberry Pi, buy a colorful button on Amazon or buy a dedicated speakerphone device. But for the true mute-button-aficionados there's only one most powerful option: the $150 Elgato Stream Deck.
The Stream Deck was originally intended as a tool for livestreamers, who might want to quickly tweet a notification that they're going live or switch between camera angles without having to look away from the game. But really it's just 15 buttons with tiny blank LCDs that you can map and design just about any way you want. (There's also a model with six keys, for the less-needy user, and another with 32 keys if you love chaos.)
This week, Elgato also launched an official Discord integration, which adds a handful of premade buttons that you can use to mute yourself on Discord, jump in and out of voice channels or go to your favorite chat room from wherever you are in the app. For anyone bouncing between a dozen DAOs and a hundred NFT communities, it's a lifesaver.
But the point of the Stream Deck is its extensibility. Elgato's Key Creator lets you build hundreds of your own shortcuts, and there are plug-ins on GitHub for lots of other features. If you're a Mac user, you can connect the Stream Deck to Keyboard Maestro to turn virtually any keyboard shortcut into a button press. It can run Apple Shortcuts, too. Oh, and you can use the handy $4 Button Creator app to make the keys look nice. As the tech community has started to embrace the Stream Deck, it's also started to extend it.
If this sounds totally superfluous, well, fair. But as more of our lives turn into software, it feels way too often like everything is 30 or 40 clicks away and requires remembering a complicated code just to get anything done. I've talked to folks in tech who use it for simple stuff — turning lights on and off, firing up their go-to morning playlist, turning the awkward two-step process of leaving a Zoom call into one press of a button — and those who use it for vastly complicated macros that control their entire smart homes and podcasting setup. The Stream Deck is the all-in-one command center the MacBook's Touch Bar never was, and just makes navigating technology feel a bit easier.
After months of seeing people on Twitter talk about their Stream Deck hacks, I bought one of my own. Now I have a button to start a call on every video app I could think of, a button that automatically sends the webpage I'm looking at to my bookmarks, a bunch for the things I do most often while editing podcasts and much more. I also have a mute button, though Elgato also just launched a Stream Deck Pedal, which is almost certainly going to replace it. Stomp-to-talk is the way of the future.
A MESSAGE FROM ENVOY
The concept of flex work isn't new, but its widespread adoption is. Flex work helps all of us find some semblance of control in the middle of an uncontrollable pandemic. Giving options makes people happier and less stressed. This leads to a greater desire to participate, which helps us build our communities and culture.
You tell us
We asked you for your favorite non-obvious, unique home office hack, and you responded! A lot of you are in favor of office pets (I'm typing this with my dog in my lap, so I definitely agree), along with plenty of tips and tricks for making sure you take regular breaks and get work done without working too hard. Here are a few of our favorite responses:
"Turn off notifications and do a face mask in the middle of the day! It only takes 15-20mins which is the perfect amount of time and you'll be glowing for the rest of your video calls for the day." — Vivyan Tran (also known as Protocol's head of digital)
"1. Hang a speed bag beside the desk and do a minute of rolling punches to get psyched before a big call. 2. Have 5 candles, one for each weekday. Different scents. Within 2 weeks 'that Friday candle smell' becomes a vibe." – Darren Murph
"I have a 32-oz glass pitcher that I fill up at the beginning of every workday, and a favorite Mexican bubble glass cleaned & ready to go already as one of my 'must do first thing' home office habits. Why? It makes hydration easy & enjoyable!" — Betsy Clayton
"Get a theme for your workspace. My favorite example of early remote leaders are naval captains (I grew up sailing on Lake Michigan). Now my home office has photographs of sailboats, regattas, little lighthouse knick knacks, sailing books, an ancient pulley, etc. I love it." — Tyler Sellhorn
"Calendar everything you need to do, reserve literal spots in your cal for stuff like writing or working out. I also make 25/45 minute meetings, which means that there's always 5 minutes for bathroom breaks. I also allot time for procrastinating. It helps me decompress." — Ed Zitron

The moral of the story: When Elon Musk offers you five grand, ask for 50. Or a Tesla. Maybe both.
Scared to talk about mental health at work? Here's how to make it easier, by Michelle Ma
Slowly but surely, mental health issues are becoming more discussed and less stigmatized. But it can still be tough to talk about, especially at work, so we asked experts from around the industry for their tips on how to do it well.
Intel's $100B Ohio dilemma: Why it must spend a lot now to avoid spending more later, by Max Cherney
Intel's plan to spend big on its Ohio operations won't solve the current chip shortage or supply chain crisis. But can it help make the U.S. more competitive in the semiconductor industry, which could ultimately have even bigger ramifications? And can it bring Intel back to the top of that industry? We won't know for a while. But that's what Intel is betting on.
Asana's productivity expert wants you to ditch the 30-minute meeting, by Lizzy Lawrence
The fact that the default calendar event length is either 30 or 60 minutes is a scourge on all our productivity. Instead, Asana's Joshua Zerkel argues, go all-in on the 10-minute invite, the five-minute check-in, the three-minute whiparound. Meetings take the time they're allotted — so take that time back.
OpenAI's new language AI improves on GPT-3, but still lies and stereotypes, by Kate Kaye
There's no denying the promise of GPT-3 and other similar AI-powered text generators, but they're a long way from being finished. They can be toxic, they're often wrong, and sometimes they just make things up. But OpenAI and others are making progress, one interaction at a time.
Ripple's CEO won't apologize for taking on the SEC, by Ben Pimentel
The whole crypto industry is in for a regulatory reckoning this year, but Brad Garlinghouse and Ripple are ahead of the curve. And Garlinghouse said he's not backing down, and that Ripple is ready for the fight to come.
The best of everything else
How Trump coins became an internet sensation — The New York Times
No, this isn't a story about cryptocurrency. (Although it briefly kind of becomes one?) It's a story about a physical coin, a little novelty trinket that went viral and became a useful way to understand how information moves around the internet in unexpected ways and at blistering speeds.
Searching for Susy Thunder — The Verge
On the trail of one of the great early hackers, who could apparently get anyone to tell her anything on the phone. It's alternately fun and sad, but ultimately about learning to see the world as a series of systems, and the people who learn to game them all.
Suicide hotline shares data with for-profit spinoff, raising ethical questions — POLITICO
The Crisis Text Line's AI chat service talks to people dealing with trauma. And then shares that data with a partner, which uses it to make better customer service software. It's all right there in the terms and conditions, but is that good enough?
Google is forcing me to dump a perfectly good phone — Vice
The gadgets we use are mostly really good, and mostly not getting better that fast. The lifespan of your phone is, for most people, "I'll replace it when it dies." So what responsibility do companies like Google and Apple have for supporting those devices that long? It's not an easy question, but it matters.
'Line Goes Up – The Problem With NFTs' — Folding Ideas
We didn't link to this last week because, well, it's more than two hours long and I hadn't finished it yet. But it's worth the watch: It's one of the most clear-headed critiques you'll find of NFTs, and the broader crypto moment we're in. And for the crypto-optimists among us, it provides a big list of problems worth solving.
Can science fiction wake us up to our climate reality? — The New Yorker
Like we talked about last week, the movies, shows and books about tech have a huge effect on how tech actually works — and even what it works on. Kim Stanley Robinson is trying to write fiction that makes the real world a little better, which turns out to be harder than it sounds.

Yes, it can! We have had more queries on menopausal joint pains this last month than any other symptom, so I thought I would go into this again in more detail. Today I'll be looking at what causes muscle and joint pain in the menopause, and what you can do to relieve this unpleasant symptom.
Joint pain is such a common menopause symptom, and yet most of us aren't aware of the structure of our joints and just know that they hurt or don't hurt, as the case may be. So here's a quick round-up of the important parts.
Muscles are bundles of fibrous tissue that contract and release to pull bones in the directions we require them to go.
Tendons connect muscles to the bones so that they can haul them around.
Ligaments connect bones to other bones, so that when one is pulled, another can also come along for the ride.
How can the menopause cause joints and muscles to hurt?
Joint stiffness and loss of range of movement – sometimes this is most obvious when you get up and this eases as you start to move about.
Creaking joints when you bend your knees or flex your fingers.
Change of posture – this is really quite an important point and often ignored! If your joints, ligaments and tendons are affected this can alter your whole posture, pulling on your muscles and causing both joint and muscle aches at the same time. This can happen to any group of muscles but mainly the back, shoulders and hips. Muscle changes in the shoulders can also trigger tension headaches or migraines. There is also the theory that strained muscles in the back or change of spinal alignment could lead to hot flushes, so if both of these symptoms started around the same time they may be connected!
Change of posture in the neck and shoulders may affect the support of the breast muscles too, causing breast ache.
Falling oestrogen levels can contribute to weight gain in some women and this in turn will put more pressure on the joints.
Falling oestrogen levels can affect bone density, causing osteoporosis which will affect posture as well.
Hot flushes and night sweats can dehydrate you really quickly, so this could be a major contributory factor to your joint pain!
Any of the joints can be affected with this, from little joints such as fingers and toes right up to the major joints such as the hips.
Muscle fatigue, which makes it more difficult to exercise as your muscles will start to ache more quickly.
And remember – low magnesium can also affect your mood and sleep pattern and also be a contributory factor in stress palpitations and sugar cravings!
So what can you do to help in this situation?
1. Water!! Dehydration is so common these days, so drinking plenty of plain water is vital for so many menopause issues including keeping the joints well hydrated. It is really amazing how many women have got back to me saying that drinking more water has reduced their symptoms really quickly! Also, at this time of the year when it is hot are you upping your water intake to compensate?
If your joints are sore or creaky first thing then ease off as they day goes on, it may mean that you are really dehydrated during the night, so make sure that you have a small glass of plain water about an hour before bed – this is really important if you are getting night sweats as these will dehydrate you further.
2. Although joint/muscle aches tend to put you off exercise this is really important for several reasons. Firstly: exercise will strengthen the muscles that support the joints making symptoms less likely. Secondly: exercise will help to control your weight. The best types of exercise to do if your joints or muscles are sore are yoga, swimming and (depending on which joints are affected) cycling.
3. Check your diet – caffeine, fizzy drinks, citrus fruits, members of the Deadly Nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, aubergines and peppers), high salt and sugar foods can all trigger inflammation in the joints and sometimes just cutting these out can make a huge difference.
4. Try anti-inflammatory herbs such as Devil's Claw. This tends to work quickly on relieving pain all over the body. For the small joints you could apply Arnica Gel topically.
5. Take a magnesium supplement to help with muscle aches and cramps. A liquid one would be best but you could also take a magnesium citrate capsule or use a magnesium skin spray on the affected muscles. Make sure that your diet is high in magnesium-rich foods such as nuts, seeds, dried fruits and dark green leafy veg.
6. I would recommend getting a check up with a Chiropractor or Osteopath, as they can detect if any joints are out of line and also recommend exercises to help.
7. The Alexander Technique can teach you how to hold your posture correctly and can be very effective at alleviating joint pain.
During the menopause breast tissue, density and shape can change quite dramatically and a poor fitting bra –especially if you wear under-wired ones – can cause both backache and sore breasts. However, it is very important to get any breast changes checked out by your doctor as well!
Do you suffer from aches and pains but didn't realise the menopause could be causing it?
Hello sorry to hear that you are not well, I would check your symptoms out with the doctor, first of all, if you have not already. In the meantime, I hope some of the information on this page will help. You may benefit from high level magnesium supplement and Vit B complex to support your system.
Where to.buy arnica gel, its drugs store are avialable?
Hi Darlyn Please can you let me know where you live, thanks.

As I have mentioned in other postings on this site, in the years following the Second World War there seemed to be a frenzy of demolition from which no building was safe.
More often than not the buildings lost were replaced by, what in my opinion, were rather ugly buildings that were totally at odds with their surroundings. However in some cases, while sadly the building was lost, thankfully its replacement was never built. This is what happened to Christ Church, which stood as a focal point at the top of the Parade for over 130 years.
The first stone was laid north of the river Leam on 20th September 1808. From then on the "New Town" grew rapidly with many plans drawn up for grand Regency crescents, terraces and squares. Unfortunately, the building boom ended almost as quickly as it had begun and most of these plans never made it off the drawing board. In other cases only parts of the grand schemes came to fruition.
First laid out in 1810
Since it was first laid out in 1810, the Parade has always been the main thoroughfare north from the river bridge, running up the hill through the new town. At the top of the hill was Beauchamp Wood, and in 1825 a plan was drawn up for a grand estate to be built on this site. The centre piece of this estate was to be Newbold Square and the focal point was to be a church
In the end only the North-West corner of the square was built, plus the church. This opened on 16th October 1825, with the gardens being laid out some four years later.
The Church was paid for by Edward Willes esq. who employed the architect Peter Frederick Robinson, who it is said based his design on the Abbey church of Jumieges in northern France. This made the chapel, if not the first, certainly one of the first, neo-Norman churches in England.
Christ Church was never a parish church; it was a daughter church to All Saints, which at the time covered the whole of Leamington Priors. Due to the rapid growth of the town in the early years of the 19th century the small parish church very soon proved inadequate for the growing population; Christ Church was only the first of several daughter churches built around the town.
A charge to worship
The church was also privately owned which meant that at certain times during its life a charge was made for worshiping there. One of its first owners was Rev. Downes, who was the vicar of All Saints, he charged the congregation 6d (2½p) each or 2/- (10p) for five, to attend. Servants were charged half price!
As the town continued to grow, as well as daughter churches being built, new parishes were created, plus All Saints was enlarged several times. The last enlargement was finished in 1902, making it one of the largest parish churches in England, with seating for 2,000.
One of these new parishes was Holy Trinity, with a new church being built only a few hundred yards behind Christ Church. This does make you wonder why they didn't just turn Christ Church in to a parish church. I suspect the reason was that whoever owned the church at the time didn't want to lose the income!
Over time these events, plus the decline in church attendance following the two world wars, led to a steady reduction in the size of the congregation at Christ Church. In 1950 the church was made redundant and closed for worship with most of the congregation moving to either Holy Trinity or Saint Mark's.
So what was to happen to the old church? Part two will explain.

Probuild360 were delighted to host West Midlands Mayor, Andy Street and Lord Digby Jones for the 'Changing Face of the Midlands' event at our industry-leading head office and showroom in Birmingham. Over 130 guests, to include councillors, award-winning architects, developers, lawyers, CEO's and investors from across the entire Midlands region, attended to hear the Mayor deliver an impactful address that set the scene for the West Midlands to be viewed as 'The New Growth Capital of the UK'.
The Mayor's presentation was divided into three areas; Regional Renaissance; Our Plan for Growth and Housing and Investment.
From the areas global investment in sport to 'rebuilding the Midlands international reputation', the audience reacted positively to news on the investment in transport with work starting on new stations as well as news for the housing market, with 215k new homes by 2030 and some £610m in funds to enable this which will come from a combination of five sources to include; the Land and Property Investment Fund, Brownfield Land and Property Development Fund and Housing Deal: Housing Infrastructure Fund.
As former head of retailer John Lewis, the Mayor also touched on supporting our Town Centres as well as outlining the significant investment opportunities that exist across the area.
Following the address, Lord Digby Jones lead the way on what was a lively Q&A. Topics raised by the audience included; the effect Brexit might have on the plan for growth; questions over the benefit of HS2 to the area as well as how funds secured from central government might be allocated going forward.
Probuild360 ensured that guests at this event, which was co-sponsored by Quilter Cheviot, a leading wealth management company, were looked after. From Thatchers Cider and their Sparkling English Wine to delicious canapes, everyone enjoyed refreshments whilst networking both 'pre' and 'post' event. Quilter Cheviot also hosted fine wine tasting sessions with support from their own wine expert which was a popular addition to the evening. Upon leaving, all attendees were given a goody bag with Thatchers Cider, the Mayor's Mentor Pack, pens from Quilter Cheviot, a copy of Live 24-Seven Magazine and Hotel Chocolat bites inside. Probuild360 have received many requests to host a follow up to the event – Part Two of the Changing Face of the Midlands'….so watch this space.


My time at Bridgton was incredible. As a kid coming from the inner city in Boston going to a rural area in Maine, it helped me think outside the box and see how much more is out there! I met great people from completely different walks of life. It was one of those experiences you look back and say "wow, that was really cool and unique." It really prepared me for when I first got to college and had to fend for myself.
Probably the dorm atmosphere. That is where you spend a lot of your time,hanging out with your friends and teammates. It gave me a chance to meet new kids from all different parts of the country. It was fun to go from room to room, play video games, hang out and experience different people, cultures and music.
Bridgton Academy is a springboard for getting ready for college. And when you get to college, getting used to dorm life and being on your own is one of the biggest adjustments. Bridgton really helped me prepare for it.
What was your biggest challenge at the Academy?
Getting used to being in a completely different environment and adjusting to a new lifestyle. I came from the inner city. There was always so much happening. If I wanted a slice of pizza at 11 at night, I could just walk down to the local pizzeria. And when I got to Bridgton, it was completely different, like I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. You can't just go out the door, walk down the street and go to the corner store. That was a big challenge for me, but a good challenge.
Do you have advice for departing students and incoming students?
For the guys on their way out, they're going to be well prepared for their next adventure in life. Going to college and understanding what it means to do things on their own. They've seen what it's like and they're ahead of the curve. That is going to be a huge advantage!
For kids coming in, just enjoy the experience. Soak it all in. Take advantage of every opportunity you are going to have. As you get this extra year to prepare yourself, leave no stone unturned. And make sure you are doing everything possible to utilize this year to give you the tools you're going to need so that when you move on you'll be in a position where things will be much easier for you.

Asia is a haven for foodies, and the region is known as a place with some of the tastiest dishes in the world. Here are five authentic dishes we think you should try when you journey to the any of these countries in Asia.
Cambodia's Fish Amok, also known as Amok Trey, is a succulent dish that can be found in various Cambodian street stalls and restaurants. This succulent blend of fresh white fish, drenched in a bright yellow coconut curry and heightened with turmeric, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, shallot and garlic is a signature dish of the Cambodian people. Amok is usually cooked in banana leaf parcels, and the leaves enhance the palate of the curry, creating a smoky taste that augments the rich flavours of the other ingredients. It is frequently eaten during the water festival, a vibrant celebration that rejoices the reversal of the Tonle Sap River.
Bali's Nasi Campur is a medley dish that can be found all over Indonesia. The name is derived from the Bahasa language; 'nasi' in Bahasa means rice, and 'campur' means to mix. The dish is a mixture of different elements and provides an economical perspective to cooking because the ingredients can utilise different leftover dishes and create a new tasty dish. Nasi Campur also demonstrates the heart of Indonesia, a nation that is melting pot of different cultures—and no two dishes are the same. In Bali, the dish usually has a curry-like taste with a pleasantly sharp flavour of "basa ganep" a fusion of local spices often used in the area.
Vietnam's Pho is a popular street food and has become a widespread dish that appears in various Vietnamese and Asian restaurants around the world. The dish is fresh, healthy and delicious and consists of fresh aromatic herbs, spices such as cinnamon, coriander, charred onion and charred ginger, as well as noodles and a variety of meats. The dish originally came from Hanoi in the early 20th century and was sold by street vendors, but after the revolution, it migrated to the South and sparked a culinary revolution that has impacted the globe.
China's Hot Pot has been around for over 1000 years and has a rich history that reflects the country's unique past. The dish derived from Mongolia and eventually spread to southern China during the Thang dynasty. The Hotpot is a broth that fuses a mixture of ingredients that can feature anything including pork, chicken, beef and even snake. It is usually boiled with a basic chilli pepper oil foundation, but various vegetables and meats can be used. The dish is a social event and is often used as a medium of bonding, or a rite of passage to demonstrate a man's ability to eat the dish whilst drinking as many beers as possible.

Setting the agenda since the '90s, TommyxTimberland looks forward to a better fashionable future
Part deux of our '90s power collaboration Tommy Hilfiger and Timberland, TOMMYXTIMBERLAND, has landed. Made up of 48 curated pieces that balance the ideas and identities of both brands, the highly anticipated follow up to drop one takes a deep dive into the importance of sustainability within the fashion industry.
With drop one, Hilfiger and Timberland's global creative director Christopher Raeburn started with their shared heritage and cultural impact – from music to street style – drop two is forward looking.
What is the future of fashion as we begin to think about the impact it has on the world, both environmentally and politically?
To get behind the creative process, ICON spoke to the men behind the magic to learn how collaborations of this sort can be a reeducation process for the fashion world.

ICON: The timing of Drop 2 with its sustainability focus and message feels particularly poignant after the recent meeting of world leaders in Glasgow. How important do you think fashion's role will be in the future when it comes to tackling issues of waste and pollution?
Tommy Hilfiger: Fashion is a big contributor to climate change and the industry certainly has an important and necessary role to play in tackling it. The TommyXTimberland collaboration is all about finding solutions that reduce the ecological footprint of the fashion industry and that could change the world of fashion for the better. Our brands are both passionately dedicated to sustainability and eco-innovation and the collection is about looking forward and shaping the future we want to see for the next generation. This feeds into our wider sustainability vision at Tommy Hilfiger to become a brand that Wastes Nothing and Welcomes All, which is underpinned by 24 ambitious targets focussed on circularity and inclusion.
Christopher Raeburn: The fashion industry has an incredibly important role to play in reducing waste, conserving resources and creating a healthier planet. By increasing and scaling sustainable business practices and product offerings, brands can take real steps to minimize the environmental impacts of their products and work toward a greener future.
At Timberland, we're setting our sights beyond sustainability. We have a vision for our products to have a net positive impact on the planet by 2030, giving back more than they take out and actually helping to restore our planet. We're pursuing this vision through two bold goals – designing 100% of our products for circularity, and sourcing 100% of our natural materials through regenerative agriculture.

Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger have such strong brand DNA – how did you negotiate the combining of the two in a way that still retained the unique identity of both?
CR: Bringing together the best of these two iconic brands was quite frictionless, to be honest. Both were mainstays of '90s pop culture, which served as inspiration for Drop One. In the boot we designed, I love how the red, white and blue really pops against the wheat. For Drop Two, we drew inspiration from both brands' commitment to responsible design and eco-innovation. Bringing together Timberland's outdoor and work-inspired aesthetic with Tommy's classic American style produced a unique collection that celebrates the shared heritage of both brands and takes us into the future.
The use of sustainable materials, closed loop production and zero waste is commendable, but is the fashion industry at large in a position to really revolutionise the system in a way that will make a lasting impact on the environment?
TH: I strongly believe that we can build a more sustainable future and make a lasting impact. But we can only achieve real change and address the most pressing global sustainability challenges by coming together as an industry. No single brand can do it on its own. Finding innovative solutions that will preserve our world's resources requires continuous dialogue and education on an industry-wide level. As industry leaders in this field, through sharing our achievements and vision, we call on everyone – big and small – to exchange ideas and work together. Also, today's socially conscious consumers want to connect with brands that align and embody their values in terms of social and environmental sustainability. Simply put, companies that don't meaningfully engage and embrace change will be left behind.
CB: Every revolution starts with one step. More and more brands are making commitments to sustainability, and reflecting those commitments in the materials they use, their manufacturing and supply chain practices, and the products they offer.
As a real-world example of how the industry can create a lasting environmental impact: In 2005, Timberland was a founding member of the cross-industry Leather Working Group to address the impacts associated with leather tanning. We set a goal to source 100 percent of our leather from tanneries rated silver or gold by the LWG; since 2012, we have sourced over 90 percent of our leathers from gold/silver rated tanneries. Setting this goal not only led us to revolutionize our own supply chain, but it helped to revolutionize the tanning industry as a whole. The LWG started with just a handful of companies; today, we are more than100 strong.

Tommy Pier, the first capsule collection with Gigi Hadid saw a 900% website traffic increase 48 hours post show. How do you think this Tommy X Timberland collab will be received compared to the capsule collections that are shown in front of a sea of iPhones?
TH: This TommyXTimberland collaboration brings together our two iconic brands, both of which are deeply rooted in the history of 90's pop culture; the collection captures that heritage but re-imagined it for today with eco-innovations. It really resonates with the mood of today and was highly anticipated – pieces from Drop 1 sold out within 24 hours, for example the menswear black hoodie and the womenswear yellow sweater dress. Consumers are tech savvy and happy to engage in a digital space, plus it means we can reach more fans than ever. Ultimately, it's about designing collections and collaborating with people and brands that really resonate with the consumer.
You were one of the first to disrupt Fashion Week's traditional top-down approach with your influencer-lined, see-now-buy-now runways. Will we see the TOMMY NOW travelling juggernaut return this year? And which 'it' girl is on your list to collaborate with next?
TH: We closed the chapter of the TOMMYNOW, "See Now, Buy Now" format with our Spring Summer 2020 show in London. It was a great initiative that really pushed boundaries and I'm proud of what we achieved, but it was time for something new. Our brand is built on a consumer-centric philosophy, and we are constantly working to meet their changing desires by bringing fresh, creative, accessible and engaging events to our fans globally that will immerse them in our brand world. I can't tell you what that will look like yet but I can promise it will be great!
In terms of collaborations, I always love to partner with people who share our drive and values of inclusivity and determined optimism. These partnerships keep our brand exciting, injecting a fresh twist into our collections and campaigns and help us translate our positive stories and allow us to connect with local audiences and cultures around the world. All I can say for now is watch this space!
What are some of your favourite pieces from the collaboration?
TH: The Puffer Jacket. It's filled with a mix of surplus fabrics and EcoLoft™, which you can see through the transparent material. It's a great example of taking an iconic style and giving it a modern twist. I also love the komatsu parka. The vivid color comes from plant-based dye which is made from food industry waste rice husks.
CB: From the second drop, the Black Progressive Hiker boot. It's got bold alpine styling with subtle contrasts from the Tommy color palette. Best of all, it's made using Regenerative Leather, sourced from farms whose practices actually help restore the environment.
