Question: What role did your early exposure to unconventional and industrial music play in shaping your artistic and musical interests, and how did it influence your desire to create music within the industrial subculture? Answer:
Hello, I am, was and will always be Mlehst. Here is some background. From a young age I hated Music and I hated school. I especially hated anything to do with classical music and music theory. So my eventual love of music developed from what you might call "improvisation" and listening to music that was/is outside what is socially acceptable. There are a couple of incidences from early childhood, first I received a sound effects cassette tape of "war" sounds, mostly radio transmissions, crackling, static, that sort of thing. I loved that tape. Another random time on a visit to family friends, during the visit the host played a tape of some weird electronic squealing which he had brought from his workplace (studio to do with sound production for tv and film), I can't remember how old I was probably less than ten years old, I only wondered why this old man was playing this shit when there were us kids in their house....... Fast forward to mid-eighties, I was given a tape of "psycho candy" by jamc, which was my first introduction of music that actually contained white noise and feedback as part of the music. At the same time I heard various styles of punk rock music, which at the time was "dead". The anti-authoritarian punk attitude and DIY aesthetic stayed with me into later life, even if the music did not. I became a searcher of music as most mainstream product was not interesting to my ears. Eventually I read about Nurse with Wound, Coil and Whitehouse. When I finally heard these bands I was confused how this could be music, but I stuck with it, rather than discarding the sounds as a novelty of some sort. Of course without knowing the history or roots and influences of these "industrial" bands, it was a shock to hear what was presented as music, and the sleeve art of the LPs was also shocking. Also this new (to me) music was an introduction in how to analyse sound, how to listen over and over in order to discover........something. Despite hating school I was interested in expressing myself through drawing and painting, and eventually went to college for a year to study art and design. Quickly I discovered that art college was not for me, but I met people who liked music, industrial music and psychedelic music. Suddenly I was introduced to the industrial subculture and it's recent history of throbbing gristle, CaberetVoltaire, non, coum, nocturnal emissions, synthesisers, and more unusual themes such as situationist, dada and surrealist art. This was a revelation to me and I wanted to create music in the same way, however I had no idea how. Whilst studying art and design at college in 1990, I met Si Johns and through him I met the local industrial scene characters, namely: Grant Newman who was an electronics whizz, always recording on his 4-track, he had an industrial noise cassette label named "cosmetic surgery tapes" (if I remember correctly) which he definitely sold but none seem to have survived to be unearthed and included in Discogs music database. He was also singer of the corridor (techno band). Ashley Marlowe, talented drummer, also made famous for being debagged and spanked at a Whitehouse gig. Member of the corridor (techno band). There were others too, they all seemed to work shifts in a chocolate factory in tonbridge, don't know if that was relevant to their love of throbbing Gristle/ psychic TV and industrial music or not. All four of us started a rock band, mostly psyche-tinged jams with added tapes and electronics. The band went nowhere. Through Grant I discovered impulse magazine and EST magazine, soft watch magazine, empty quarter magazine, some others I cant remember, but the main thing about all of this was writing directly to small labels and musicians, the do-it-yourself attitude, it was a great discovery for me. Grant also had all the Whitehouse LPs and knowledge of some of the more obscure bands like Ramleh. I spent weeks and months away from home staying on peoples sofas in the tonbridge area, sometimes weird stuff happened, one time I was walking down a random street with Si, who suddenly exclaims "look it's Jerome from Ramleh" and lo and behold it was, and we ran over the street to catch him up and talk to the obscure power electronics hero! At this point Jerome was out of the music scene and did not want to talk about Ramleh at all, "it was something in the air at the time" were amongst his cryptic replies. I moved on socially after leaving college, and didnt return to Tonbridge until 2006 when local band Sutcliffe Jugend reformed and played in a small club, the building had been converted from public toilets to a music venue! Prurient played as support and before the gig both projects were recording their collaboration album "end of autumn" on the stage which I witnessed some of. That's enough about that now. Question: What role did These Records, a seemingly hidden and unconventional music shop in London, play in shaping your musical tastes and preferences, and how did the detailed descriptions in their catalog influence your music exploration? Answer: When it comes to musical influences the mail order and London shop These Records played a major part in where I purchased music in the mid 90s. I visited the shop when it was based in Wandsworth,a run down and somewhat sketchy area in south west London , I could not find the place for ages, no sign, no street number, where is this shop?
On closer inspection of a building that appeared to be derelict, I see a small sticker with "these records" and an arrow pointing to a doorbell, rang the doorbell, a face appeared at the door, I was allowed to enter. I think the first items I bought were Hafler trio "dislocation" cassette and the Stock,hausen and Walkman "giving up" cassette.
These Records produced a catalogue which had lengthy descriptions of each of the albums that they sold and distributed, each description was intriguing enough by itself to delve always deeper…
Bernard parmegiani "de naturum sonorum"
The nature of sound, an interesting collection of electronically processed acoustic musical interventions? A great listen, despite being a serious music album. roll neck jumpers, beards and pipes? Forget that stuff, just immerse in some semi-minimal resonance and high pitched squealing and the interactions between sounds.
Pierre Henry la ville, die stadt
I have owned and listened to many Henry albums, each has its own merits of genius, "la ville, die stadt" is very cinematic, almost an audio document of a film but without the film. Lots of location recordings.
Michael prime fructification
Field recordings and electronics, bought cheaply, flimsiest piece of vinyl, yet the sound quality is amazing, not much else to say, my favourite of all recordings of this artist
Nww gyllenskold /spiral insana / merzbildschwet / soliloquy /psilotripitaka
The late 1970s to late 1980s period of NWW is pure gold for many reasons. I lost interest after "creakiness " as the genius of SS got diluted and more lazy.
Spiral insana is the most influential of the golden age of NWW for me, it is not my favourite NWW album as such, but it covers a lot of source sound, emotion in its scope.
Whitehouse cream of the second coming
Zanesi stop l'horizon
Recommended to me on one of my many visits to These when the shop moved to Brook Drive, around 1997 or so, I was listening more and more to releases from the INAGRM label, generally the production values were higher than I liked to listen to and the sounds more polished, however "stop l'horizon" overcomes this by sheer force of the sound, sure it's academic music, but a great well balanced listen.
Hafler trio how to reform mankind / dislocation / all that rises must converge
Despite buying the "dislocation" cassette I never really listened to it all the way through for a long, long time. I really couldn't understand what I was listening to. After a few years though I did finally listen and understand, it took maybe ten or so complete plays to appreciate the juxtaposition of field recordings and electronic synthetic sounds, and above all the appreciation of sound as musical experience.
On my next visit to These, I ask, what Hafler trio do you recommend?
How to reform mankind is the best of a recent trilogy, I am told, get that.
So I do, also the negentropy LP, which had a gold painted LP sleeve. The gold paint was not bonded to the LP sleeve very well though and was replaced by fingerprints unless very careful! Back to "how to reform mankind", I was mystified once again, deep piano rumblings, abstract synth and heavy electronics mixed together, what a collection. This album took a few listens to make sense, but still comes across fresh today. After this I delved into the entire Hafler trio back catalogue, obsessing over each album. I never read any of Andrew Mackenzie's writings that accompanied each album, far too obscure for me to follow, however the music, for me, was enough of an experience for me. I was amazed that some of the earlier Hafler Trio albums had a similar construction and feel to some of the Mlehst albums.
Zoviet France
Loh land and shouting at the ground, both great albums introduced to me by Andy Gaskill, who played on some early Mlehst albums. Urban looping, desolate soundscapes, slight ethnic music feel? Not a major influence, but an influence non the less
Cinema for the ears 3"Cd series metamkine
Walter ruttman- amazing early collage of noisy field recording
Luc Ferrari - unheimlich schone
Throbbing gristle slug bait
Roger Doyle the ninth set
Around 2009/2010 I discovered the die stadt label and mail order, based in Germany, it with the similar mix of products once found in the now long closed These Records shop.
I had never heard of Roger Doyle, except from his early work with United Dairies label, I bought "the ninth set" on a whim.
The opening track had me hooked immediately with huge waves of heavily processed crashing gothic synthetic noise, for me at this time this was incredibly forward looking music with exquisite production values.
I wasn't yet able to emulate this style of fully electronic sounding acousmatic music, but eventually it's otherworldly filmic style would also enter the Mlehst ouvre.
C m Von haiswollf operation of spirit communication
Around the 2005-2010 period I was exploring drone music a lot, my attention span was becoming too short for the faster cut-up musique concrete style of music. I re-embraced classic drone albums such as "soliloquy for Lilith" by Nurse With Wound, and discovered older artists such as Elaine radigue. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon CM von Hausswollf, possibly through Die Stadt, I collected as much as I could find, mostly on CD. "Operation of Spirit communication" is the best I have heard of cmvh, perfect on vinyl, everything is just right about this album, from the gatefold sleeve, clear vinyl and flawless sine drone.
Dance music deconstructed
Rlw eyes 7"
Faust tapes
Residents meet the
Suttclife jug end
Luv Ferrari pressure rien
To be continued.

Apple Brings On The Next Generation Of AirPods Pro
Three years since the launch of the AirPods Pro, Apple has announced the 2nd generation with better audio quality, enhanced Active Noise Cancellation, and new features for even more convenience.
Apple claims the second generation of AirPods Pro, named AirPods Pro (2nd Generation), is the most advanced AirPods ever.
With the power of the new H2 chip, AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.) unlock breakthrough audio performance — including major upgrades to Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode — while also offering a unique way to experience Spatial Audio that's even more immersive.
Built into a lightweight and compact body, the power of the new H2 chip provides an exceptional acoustic experience and cancels up to twice as much noise as the previous generation AirPods Pro. With a new low-distortion audio driver and custom amplifier, AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.) now offer richer bass and crystal-clear sound across a wider range of frequencies. Since the best audio experience isn't complete without a great in-ear fit, a new extra small ear tip is included so even more people can experience the AirPods Pro.
Transparency mode makes it possible for listeners to stay connected to and aware of the world around them. Now, Adaptive Transparency takes this customer-loved feature even further. The powerful H2 chip enables on-device processing, which reduces loud environmental noise — like a passing vehicle siren, construction tools, or even loudspeakers at a concert — for more comfortable everyday listening.
"AirPods revolutionised the wireless headphone category with an innovative design and incredible sound quality. With the new AirPods Pro, Apple raises the bar once again," said Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "The new AirPods Pro deliver even better sound quality, a more immersive listening experience with Personalised Spatial Audio, and transformative audio features like Adaptive Transparency. With up to double the noise-cancelling power of their predecessor, the world's bestselling wireless headphones just got even better."
With Personalised Spatial Audio, the AirPods listening experience is even more immersive. Users perceive sound individually based on the size and shape of their head and ears. Using the TrueDepth camera on iPhone, users can create a personal profile for Spatial Audio that delivers a listening experience precisely tuned just for them. Users can enjoy Personalised Spatial Audio with music, movies, and TV shows — with dynamic head tracking — across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
The magical experience users have come to love from the AirPods family gets even better with the next generation of AirPods Pro. Instant pairing to all Apple devices makes setup effortless, while the new dedicated AirPods section in iOS Settings lets users easily access and control their AirPods features.
Now, users can control media playback and turn up the volume without using another device. With Touch control on AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.), a light swipe up or down on the stem enables quick volume adjustments. Press the stem to change the music, answer phone calls, and more, or say "Hey Siri" to make requests hands-free. The improved, built-in skin-detect sensor more accurately turns on or off playback, and delivers better battery life.
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.) offer 1.5 hours of additional listening time over the first generation, for a total of up to six hours with Active Noise Cancellation. Using the case for four additional charges, users can enjoy up to 30 hours of total listening time with Active Noise Cancellation — a full six hours more than the previous generation.
For more flexibility when travelling, customers can now charge AirPods Pro with an Apple Watch charger, in addition to a MagSafe charger, Qi-certified charging mat, or the Lightning cable.
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.) come with a newly designed charging case that is sweat- and water-resistant and includes a lanyard loop, so it's always within reach. With Precision Finding, users with a U1-enabled iPhone can locate their charging case with guided directions. The charging case also has a built-in speaker to deliver louder tones, so it's even easier to locate.
The new AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) will retail for £249 and will be available starting from September 23rd 2022. Pre-order will start September 9th 2022.

Gaslit: Season 1, Episode 7 "Year of the Rat" (B)
In keeping with many other second-to-last installments, this hour started with a flashback to much better times, when Mitchell first met Martha and was much more enamored that he now finds himself. Previously, we had seen him express restraint and disappointment in her for meddling in affairs that he didn't think were her business, and now he's absolutely terrible, choking her and celebrating that, for once, he couldn't hear her. It's the ultimate sign of how he's exactly like what he pretended not to be, putting on a publicly supportive face but being even more judgmental and controlling than anyone else. Ensuring that she wouldn't have an audience at her testimony was particularly cruel, and leaving with their daughter was the worst blow he could have dealt. This episode did take a turn for the maniacal when it showed Martha's despair and then checked in with Liddy in jail, who was going a bit stir-crazy and trying to outsmart the animals around him via his toilet and other weapons at his disposal. Dean and Mo posing for Playboy and talking about everything as if they had won got a devastating reality check when he found out that he was still likely going to have to serve five years behind bars, another instance of how bad behavior isn't rewarded simply because someone else was even badder. I'm eager and curious to see how this all ends since I haven't done any digging into the history of how things panned out for everyone involved.

Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 9 Hansard (21 August) . . Page.. 2660 ..
MR CORBELL (continuing):
There is, I would argue, strong support for the establishment of a statutory planning and land authority, and that is reflected not only in the election result but in comments since. From an industry perspective, there is a need for certainty in what the new administrative arrangements are.
The last thing I want is to see this debate prolonged and see no resolution on the future shape of planning administration in the ACT until well into next year. That would not be a desirable outcome. It would create significant uncertainty both for community and industry, not to mention for officers who currently work in PALM itself.
In the interests of an orderly transition, this report date of 12 November will allow the government to respond in a timely way. I indicate now that the government anticipates bringing on the bill for debate in that same sitting period.
Amendment agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to.
Community Services and Social Equity-Standing Committee
Report No 2
MR HARGREAVES (11.56): Mr Speaker, I present the following report:
Community Services and Social Equity-Standing Committee-Report No 2-Accommodation and Support Services for Homeless Men and their Children, dated 19 August 2002, together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings.
I seek leave to move a motion authorising the report for publication.
Leave granted.
MR HARGREAVES: I move:
That the report be authorised for publication.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR HARGREAVES: I move:
That the report be noted.
This report had an interesting genesis, Mr Speaker. It started when there was a blue between the opposition and the government of the day on tender processes. The Assembly decided that that was not really on, and tossed it out. What remained was an investigation into the support services and accommodation that homeless men and their accompanying children were able to access in this town.
In a way by sheer accident, as a committee, Ms Dundas, Mrs Cross and I found ourselves looking into something which came to us out of the blue. What we found was quite revealing.

text: Rod Stewart is rockin' again The Montrealer January 1, 2007 3013 Interview with Kevin O'Hare After four highly successful volumes of his "Great American Songbook" albums, which sold a combined 15 million copies worldwide since the first release in 2002, the British singer is moving from standards to vintage rock cover songs on his new album "Still the Same … Great Rock Classics of Our Time." The disc, due out Tuesday on J Records, features Stewart's raspy and soulful interpretations of past hits by the likes of Bob Seger, Van Morrison, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival. At 61, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer remains one of music's most colourful and captivating characters. From his early days with the Faces, through huge solo hits like "Maggie May," "The First Cut Is the Deepest" and "Tonight's the Night," Stewart has carried on an impressive career for more than 40 years, and remains a huge draw on the concert circuit. He'll be previewing the new album with a show from the Nokia Theatre Times Square in New York City on Monday, which will also be presented that same night at 117 movie theatres nationwide. A legendary ladies' man, Stewart is the father of six children, the youngest being Alastair, his child with his fiancée, Penny Lancaster. Alastair will celebrate his first birthday in November. The singer talked about his music, his heavy drinking days with the Faces, his recovery from cancer and the current state of rock radio during a recent phone interview from Beverly Hills, Calif. Q: After recording the four tremendously successful "Great American Songbook" albums, why did you decide to return to rock? A: Well, I think we took the "American Songbook" as far as we possibly could. That's not saying there won't be five, six or seven somewhere down the line, but I went to meet (producer) Clive (Davis) when we decided to do another album. I wanted to do a blue-eyed soul album. And Clive said, "No, I think it's about time you did a rock album." So I said, "OK, Clive, what do you think we should do?" He said, "The first song you should do is `Me and Bobby McGee."' It didn't finish up on the album, but most of the songs were written around the '70s. But it was really Clive Davis' idea. Q: What songs from the new album mean the most to you? A: I think if there was one song which really meant a lot, probably it would be "Father and Son," for obvious reasons. And then the other one would be "It's a Heartache," because I remember when that one came out (on a single by Bonnie Tyler), everyone was phoning me up saying, "Why didn't you do that song? She's trying to sound like you." So I had to wait all this time to get my teeth into it. Q: The single is a great version of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain." Were you a John Fogerty/Creedence Clearwater Revival fan during their heyday, or were you too busy playing your own music to actually have a chance to listen much to what was playing on the radio? A: No, no, no, when we were with the Faces and the Jeff Beck Group, I was very aware of John's voice. In my style of singing you're always looking for someone else who sings in the same way — there's a brotherhood there — Bob Seger and the like. So I remember that era very well. Q: In an interview with Billboard in 2005 you stated that the American Songbooks were your greatest musical achievement. That's quite a statement given the tremendous success of some of your classics like "Maggie May," "Gasoline Alley," etc., etc. Why do you feel so passionately about the American Songbooks? A: Simply because it was an absolute life-threatening risk. Even the night before the (first) album came out, I remember phoning up my manager and saying: "My God, I feel like a rock 'n' roll, y'know, I just feel like I've left the flag down somewhat." And he said, "No, these will stand up on their own. Clive believes in it, we all believe in it. You enjoyed it, and if you enjoyed singing these songs hopefully it will come across that you enjoyed singing them." I felt like a rock 'n' roll traitor, that was the word I was looking for. But they were such wonderful songs to sing. Not only that, I wouldn't use the word "difficult," but you had to give them 100 percent attention, y'know, because there are so many nuances in those "Great American Songbook" songs that you could overlook and miss certain little points that were sung by other singers that are very important. I was just pleased it was a success and pleased that after 20-odd years I wanted to sing these songs, having been brought up with my parents and me brothers and sisters on them. After the first one, I figured I've actually got one in the can and that would have been it for me. I've done something. I got it off my chest. But to do two, three and four was a dream come true. Q: In that same interview you were very generous concerning the fact that mainstream radio rarely plays new material from veteran artists. Yet you also said, "But if I should make a bloody rock 'n' roll record, they better play it." Well, now you have. Still feel the same? A: (Laughter) Well, remember these are not songs I've written, but this is more of a concept album. But I must say I'm really pleased at Bob Seger's recent success. Not just because I've always admired him as a singer, but his new album has just gone in the Top 10. That's wonderful. So he's broken the mould. Q: A personal question. Can you tell me a bit about your feelings when you first learned that you had cancer (in 2000) and whether you feel the way you bounced back from it can inspire other people? A: Yeah, I'm always a little reluctant to talk about it because people say, "Well, he battled cancer." Battling cancer to me is someone who has to go onto chemotherapy and is literally in a hospital for months on end with their life hanging by a thread. I don't want to be considered like that 'cause I was so bloody lucky. I went into a hospital for a check-up, had a scan and they said, "Hold on, we've found something on your thyroid gland and if you're gonna have cancer, this is the one to have because it's the easiest one to get rid of if detected early." So, in saying that, it was still, you can't express to anybody once someone mentions "The Big C" to you, that you've actually got it. Especially someone like me who considered himself to be absolutely super fit. This doesn't happen to Rod, the football-playing, keep-fit guy. When it happened to me, it was just, um, earth-shattering is the only word I can think of. Q: After the medical treatments, did you have to go through special training to regain your vocal strength? A: That was a whole different story. I was right in the middle of making "Human." So some of the vocals on that album, I'd go in one night and sing one line of the song and that was it, my voice would pack up, and I'd have to go in and sing another line the next night. It would take me a week just to get through one vocal. But it came back slowly, slowly, slowly. Thank the Lord its come back better than it ever was for some reason. Q: Is there any type of music that you don't like? You've done so many styles. A: There's nothing I don't like. Most of it I like, though some I don't bother to listen to. I'm not a great lover of rap music, I don't quite get it and I don't think most of the people in my generation do. But I can understand why the kids like it. It's different, and its one form of music that hasn't been handed down from the parents, y'know, and it's brand new. Q: Just like rock and roll in the early days. A: Exactly. Q: I know you're headed out on the road again. Is the Times Square show kicking off a new round of touring? And why do you think fans keep coming back to see you again and again? A: Oh, I must have a nice bottom (laughter). I think it's probably because people want to go see a show where they know more than two or three songs in two hours. With my songs, especially with this new collection of stuff, even if I open up with "It's a Heartache" and follow it with "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" and "If Not for You," people know these songs already. So I'm already off to a winning start. But I think the longevity is definitely due to the fact that I've always prided myself on giving 110 percent when I walk out on that stage. And the staging that we've got for this new tour is amazing. I'm going back in the round. We're doing it a little like U2, you know they had that special circle. We're going to have two great big special circles with bar service. We'll have loads of drunks in the front (laughter). Q: So is that going to take up a lot of next year? A: Yes, five months. Q: What are the chances you'll ever release any new originals in the future? A: There's a good chance, a great chance. I've been very inspired. There's an artist in England called James Morrison who's just come out with a No. 1 album. And he's got the best blue-eyed soul voice and rock voice since me. (Laughter) No, I'm kidding. But the way his songs are created, the way he's put his songs together are very inspirational. I beg you to listen to this guy; I'd love for him to be a success over here. He's everything Robbie Williams thinks he is. This guy's really got it, the voice, he's brilliant. Mark that name down, James Morrison. Q: Lastly, when you think back to your days with the Faces, what are your fondest memories? A: It was something I've never had in any band I've been in: the camaraderie. The absolute love of each other, and the protection that we put around each other. It was a brotherhood. We had our own humour, our own drinking styles, our own fashion, our own music. All of those things I've missed. It was probably the most favourable music in a mere five years of my life in the music business I ever had. I'll never forget it. I love the guys dearly. You know Ronnie Lane's gone now (Lane died in 1997). But it was the biggest learning experience for me, and the biggest drinking experience. It's a wonder the rest of us are still alive, we should be pickled. What a band, though, what a band. Oct. 5, 2006 (Kevin O'Hare is music writer for The Republican of Springfield, Mass.

Communal oven to bake bread
le Villard communal oven
1 / 2
137 Rue du Villard, 74120, Talloires-Montmin
Former communal oven used to bake bread for the inhabitants
A masonry structure, generally vaulted, open at the front, for baking bread, pastries, etc. The wide opening allows the bread dough to be placed in the oven, starting with the large loaves on the sides, which take longer to bake, and ending with the small pieces. It is possible to bake several times in a row, ending with pies or pizzas, which need less heat.
In the Middle Ages, the oven belonged to the lord and the vassals had to bake their bread in return for a fee: the banality
Originally, it took 5 hours to heat the oven and then 5 hours to bake the bread. As soon as fire bricks appeared (around 1920), the ovens were transformed. Today it takes 1 hour to 1 H. 30 to heat the oven and 1 hour to 1h30 to bake the bread depending on the outside temperature, without changing its taste.
With the multiplication of bakeries in the communes, as well as the ease of transport, the country ovens have gradually fallen into oblivion.
In Talloires, several have been restored and are maintained. There was one in each hamlet. Sometimes some are still in use!

LVR grad Rheanne Segstro goes eco-concious with new clothing line, Willow
Eco-friendly is anything but boring says L.V. Rogers grad Rheanne Segstro.
Non-believers should check out Segstro's debut clothing line, Willow, which focuses on creating earth friendly, style-driven options for free spirited tween girls.
"There is little clothing out there at for tween girls, let alone in the eco-conscious market, Segstro explains.
"There is tons of earth friendly styles for babies and small children as well as for adults, but there is nothing available for older kids."
Segstro has been enrolled in fashion design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Richmond for the past four years.
Students develop design concepts using practice-led research along with creative and technical skills to work within the apparel industry.
As a final project, Segstro was to design a clothing line to be displayed at Kwantlen's "The Show" at the River Rock Casino at April 3.
"Willow fills this gap in the tween market by creating fashion forward, eco-conscious styles for girls between the ages of eight and 13," said the 23-year-old Nelson native.
"All of Willow's fabrics are made from eco-conscious fibres including organic cotton and recycled polyester."
When people think of eco-friendly, they often think dull colours and simple styles.
That is not what Willow is about.
Segstro endeavored to produce fun, style-driven options – not just the boring basics – that will excite both mom and tweens.
The Fall 2012 line "free spirit" offers bold, brightly coloured feather and stripe prints paired with casual, easy to wear silhouettes.
Willow's designs feature a large use of colour, prints and graphics, all of which use low impact dyes and processes.
Segstro was inspired to create Willow from her experience interning at Ivivva Athletica, a division of Lululemon that creates athletic wear for girls ages four to 12 as well as from her personal experiences with meeting tween girls.
"Young girls today are worried about climate change and the environment and they value planet friendly products," said Segstro, hoping graduated brings a job in the clothing design industry.
"These girls are constantly inspired to change the world around them, which in turn inspired me to create styles would show today's tween girls' true spirit."

One of our more recent thrifting finds is a set of Anchor Hocking shot glasses in their original box. Ă'Â (The box calls them whiskey jiggers, but we like to drink whiskey in bigger glasses!) Ă'Â What's so special about these shot glasses, you ask?
Well, they have some of the most hilarious graphics that we've seen in a very long time. Ă'Â Although we can't be certain, we think these glasses were made in the early 1970s, just when conservation movements are beginning to get some national and international attention.
From left-to-right, the back of the glasses read: Reforestation Expert, Wildlife Manager, Game Warden, Water Conservationist! Ă'Â Great graphic designs AND hilarious puns? Ă'Â Now if we could only find the designer responsible…
you might get a copy of this.
If shotglass.org is right, these should be in the book, because it lists "Pickvet numbers" for them. Frex, the Wildlife Manager is Pickvet Catalog #:PPD339-1-80

The Astoria Worker Project joined the Astoria Food Pantry and the community in conducting a clothing drive in October for migrant families who recently arrived in New York City.
The Astoria Worker Project and Astoria Food Pantry are now focusing on distributing the clothing to the hotels in western Queens, where migrant families are temporarily being housed.
The clothing drive — held from Oct. 11 to Oct. 27 — was organized to ensure these families would have the required necessities to get through the winter. Hundreds of articles of clothing, hygiene products and underwear were dropped off at the Astoria Food Pantry office within the first week of the drive alone.
"The generosity of the western Queens community highlights the warm welcome New Yorkers are extending to our new neighbors," said Margaret Horning, a member of the Astoria Food Pantry.
The clothing drive was held in response to a large number of migrants coming to New York City. Since spring 2022, thousands of migrant families have been arriving regularly at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. Many of these families came from Venezuela.
According to Astoria Worker Project Director Noah Meixler, this drive was created in response to feedback from the community, who highlighted this as a need. Many of the migrants were sent to New York City from Texas. Consequently, most of them lacked sufficient winter clothing since they didn't expect to be sent here. He estimated that they were able to raise between 700 and 1,000 items of clothing over the course of the two-week-long drive.
"Many of these families have been sent to New York on buses from Texas with the purpose of straining resources in cities run by Democrats," Meixler said. "The use of human beings as political props is simply despicable. We know migrants need this program given that CBP agents have been throwing out the personal items migrants bring over the border, so we were aware that winter clothing items would be of use because of this as well."
Some of opportunities the Astoria Worker Project offers include employment preparation skills development and certificate training, network strategies for job security, advancement and new careers, job placement, gig Economy advisement, 1099 classification, contract protection, opportunities for domestic service jobs leading to worker co-ops and small business advisement.
According to the Astoria Worker Project, the opportunities they offer can benefit the Astoria community in many ways. These include providing a workforce development structure complementary to the District 22 economic stability and advancement, providing Astoria residents with workforce security and strategies as workforce changes increase, providing an army of informed players and expressing, in basic terms, the benefits of full employment, higher wages, family security and the health of the local economy.
The Astoria Worker Project is a new initiative from the Consortium for Worker Education. Approximately 70,000 New Yorkers take part in the programs run by the Consortium for Worker Education on an annual basis. The nonprofit provides a continuum of workforce preparation, industry specific training and employment services. Among those the organization helps are dislocated workers, new Americans, incumbent union members and those approaching the workforce for the first time.
The Consortium for Worker Education provides tens of thousands of New Yorkers with access to quality, dignified careers in varied economic sectors including healthcare, construction, transportation, civil service, education and childcare, retail and tourism. This is all accomplished through its community based partnerships and initiatives, including the Astoria Worker Project.

The mats are back! That is right, Venice Beach has become more accessible to visitors, especially those who have difficulty crossing the sand.
Last week, Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors unrolled the access mat near the Venice Boulevard beach parking lot. They were initially installed on April 13, 2022, and were taking down the week of November 16 when the berms went up.
Made of a fine nylon mesh, beach access mats are designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to traverse the sand. The mat starts at the Marvin Braude Bike Trail and end in a "T" shape closer to the water's edge. The mat will be available annually from roughly spring through fall.

12-Pound Tumor Swallows Man's Face
TLC airs story of Jose Mestre, who entrusts his life to a Chicago surgeon.
Feb. 18, 2011— -- Jose Mestre's face was consumed by a 12-pound tumor, an explosive growth of blood vessels that blinded him in one eye and invaded his mouth, making it difficult to breathe and nearly impossible to eat.
Doctors in his native Portugal had given up hope that they could operate on the 53-year-old former traffic guard, and Mestre had resigned himself to the fact that he surely would die.
But thanks to the intervention of a stranger, who had watched a plastic surgeon perform miracles on another patient with a facial tumor on a Discovery Health documentary, now Mestre is on the road to recovery.
Mestre's journey took him from Portugal to St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago last year, where plastic surgeon Dr. McKay McKinnon performed three risky procedures to save the man's face.
Now, TLC chronicles Mestre's story in a television documentary, "The Man Who Lost His Face," which will air Sunday night.
"It's an incredible story," said McKinnon, who specializes in craniofacial surgery. "I have not seen a facial tumor quite as dramatic as this ever… His face was a mass of fiber and tumor and blood vessels that made him unrecognizable as a human being."
Mestre had been born with a venous malformation, also called a hemangioma, one that had begun growing uncontrollably at the age of 14. These tumors typically increase in size during puberty and his had begun to distort all of his facial features.
Eating was difficult, causing bleeding on his tongue and gingiva, and Mestre's left eye was completely destroyed as the tumor literally swallowed his face.
"For all of his adult life his face had shocked those around him and made his life a kind of living hell," said McKinnon. "His mother sought medical advice in their country, Portugal, and at multiple other medical centers in Spain, Germany and England. They were given conflicting diagnoses and plans of treatment."
Helping Jose was complicated by the fact that his mother was a Jehovah's Witness -- a religious denomination that bans blood transfusions -- and she wanted her son to follow her faith.
"Jose would eventually be forced to decide between death from complications of frequent bleeding from the growing tumor, or renouncing his faith and receiving definitive surgery," he said.
But three years ago, Mestre's mother died and his younger sister Edith, a hairdresser in her late 40s, became his guardian and became more proactive in seeking medical care.
