Molina Finalist for Gold Glove
The quest for number nine has gotten a step closer for Yadier Molina, as the St. Louis Cardinals catcher has been announced as a finalist for a Rawlings Gold Glove award.
Almost since the time he was not announced as the winner last year, Molina made it clear that reclaiming the award was a goal of his for 2017.
"I know I can win the Gold Glove," reiterated Molina during the press conference for his contract extension at the beginning of this season.
And while last year's winner, Buster Posey, is again a finalist this season, Molina may face his stiffest competition from Tucker Barnhardt.
The Cincinnati Reds catcher threw out 32 of 73 would-be base stealers compared to the 24 of 67 thrown out by Molina. And Barnhart ranks 5th amongst all players with a 2.15 WAR.
But there is no exact science and Molina's 1125.2 innings behind the plate are nearly two hundred innings more than Barnhart (926.1) and nearly three hundred more than Posey (826.1).
In terms of the SABR Defensive Index, which accounts for approximately 25% of the vote, the latest update from August 27th showed Yasmani Grandal led the National League with a 7.6 SDI followed by Barnhardt (7.4), Manny Pina (5.2), and Molina (3.4). Buster Posey ranked 6th with a 2.4 rating.
And going by the odds calculated by MyTopSportsBook.com, Molina's only 7/2 to claim the 2017 NL Gold Glove for catchers. The site has Posey and Barnhart at 11/7 odds–a 38.9% chance each as Posey is the incumbent and more established name, yet Barnhart has the better stats.
However, the largest pool of voters is made up of each of the MLB managers and up to six coaches on his staff. They cannot vote for players from their own team. Reputation and what the teams saw on the field can play even more than numbers on pitch framing and other assorted stats.
And with the additional amount of innings and level at which Molina performed in those innings caught, that could result in a greater appreciation from the coaching base than the what any index, stats, or odds may forecast.

We don't know about you, but we can't do so much as drive to work, let alone conquer a whole day without a caffeine fix. Recently, we've made the switch from expensive and super-sweetened coffees to this trendy green drink called matcha green tea! Simply put, matcha is a fine green powder made of ground, specially grown and processed green tea leaves.
Drinking matcha, as opposed to brewed green tea, provides you with about ten times more the antioxidants and nutrients because you're ingesting the entire leaf rather than just the water that has seeped through it. Most conventionally, matcha is mixed into hot water to create a strong, frothy green tea (very yummy), but you can get pretty creative. Here's how!
1. "Cold Brew" Matcha
Similar to cold brew coffee but not nearly as much work! Just toss a few scoops of matcha into some ice water, shake well and voila!
2. Matcha Popsicle
It's not your typical summer popsicle, but that makes it even better. It's refreshing without all the artificial sweeteners and coloring of many store bought ice pops. We enjoy this recipe.
3. Shakes and Smoothies
These make a good morning treat or afternoon snack to curb some cravings. Check your campus bookstore cafe and ask for an extra matcha boost in your green tea smoothie!
4. Cookies
Yes, even a baked dessert can have a dose of delicious green tea flavor. Plus, you'll be satisfying that sweet tooth as well! We like this recipe.
5. Ice Cream
Okay, we clearly really like dessert…But with all the health benefits in matcha, a green tea-flavored ice cream is totally guilt-free, right? We like this recipe.
Tip: After you open the matcha packaging, the powder left in the container should be refrigerated and tightly sealed.

If you are getting pregnant, these Feng Shui tips are recommended for couples that they can make in their home. Check out the best tips for safe pregnancy.
There are few traditional feng shui decor items or elements that are the cures for fertility like statues or images of elephants with their trunks down.
1. Plant a fruit tree
It's actually the ancient symbol of fertility and removes any plants aren't growing.
2. Hang a brass wind chime at your entrance
It will attract new energy to your home.
3. Display objects and pictures that remind you of the happiness of welcoming a new baby.
4. Remove anything that is blocking the front door
Just keep the things out that are blocking your front doors like overgrown bushes, a large tree, or even a car parked out in front of the main door.
5. A pregnant lady should never sleep in South-East room
It leads to premature delivery of the child.
6. Make sure to have enough sunlight in bedroom
The bedroom shall be flooded with sunlight in the day which can balance Yang and Yin and help you to get pregnant. The bedroom shall be well ventilated so that you feel refreshed. At night, it should be dim for you to fall asleep.
If your bedroom is having too much impure air, it will have an adverse effect on your pregnancy.
7. Avoid having too many mirrors or a fish tank in your bedroom.
The mirror may drive away the pregnancy edema and consume the essential essence of men and the fish tank will imbalance Yin and Yang, making it difficult for the couple to conceive a baby.
8. Don't sleep on the floor, folding bed, and water bed, or avoid clutter under the bed.
Stabilize your bed to keep the pregnancy edema.
9. The bedroom shall have only 1 outward door instead than 2
The lady will find it difficult to get pregnant.
In Feng Shui, the bedroom threshold signifies 'pregnancy edema' in the house.
Tip: To keep the pregnancy edema, lay a carpet in the master bedroom.
10. Avoid having bedroom with a bathroom upstairs
Since the bathroom is a dirty place, it will be ill-fated.
11. Don't place your bed too close to the window
In this case, you will suffer from dreaminess which will affect your pregnancy.
Tip: Put your bed on the diagonal from the bedroom door.
12. Avoid electric appliances and metal items at your bedside
It because these things may disturb your magnetic field and make it hard for you to get pregnant.
13. Bed Position
It is quite essential for the health of the fetus, so avoid moving your bed randomly from pregnancy to birth and keep the bed sheets clean daily.
14. Avoid Using Scissor on the Bed
The bed is a symbol of birth and marriage in Chinese culture. And if you're pregnant, use of scissor or any other sharp object on the bed will mean birth defect or cutting of the umbilical cord.
15. Don't Attend Funeral or Wedding
In Chinese culture, if the pregnant woman is attending a wedding it means of warding off the illness, which is not good for the new born.
It is similar in the case of the funeral because even the negative and sad mood is unlucky to you.
16. Don't let others touch your shoulder
For Chinese people, touching a shoulder means your good luck will disappear. And if the pregnant woman's shoulder is touched by someone, her baby may get hurt.
17. Don't Touch Edge Tools
Avoid touching kitchen knife and other edge tools. It may affect the Fetal God incidentally that make you get frightened and ultimately result in abortion.
18. Avoid hanging a large picture or landscape painting above headboard
As this may affect your pregnancy. Also, avoid the dark pattern, fierce monster painting, abstract painting, and clock above or right ahead of your headboard.
Tip: Hang smiling baby right ahead of your headboard.
19. No Home Decoration, Kitchen Upgrade or Groundbreaking
In Chinese culture, avoid having home decoration, groundbreaking or kitchen upgrade during pregnancy period because home decoration may hurt the upcoming baby, and any sawing, tapping and drilling must be avoided.
It will have negative effect o your baby if light and sound of the environment will change making your baby difficult to adapt.
Tip 1: During home decoration, put concise, bright and lovely pictures instead of animal patterns.
20. Don't drive a nail in the door, bedside or wall.
Pregnant ladies should not drive a nail in the door, bedside or wall. If you drive the nail, you may scare away the 'Door God' and the door will fail to hamper the evil spirits from entering into your room, which will affect your health too.
Note: Driving nail on the bedside leads to palpitation, poor sleep, and other discomforts.
21. Avoid having garage, memorial tablet or arcade downstairs your bedroom
The movement of a car or pedestrian will make the magnetic field and air flow unstable and result in the problem of conception.
22. Window Direction
If your window is towards a large rock or rockery in the park, you should be more careful as rockery may result in fetal instability and even miscarriage.
Tip: Remove too many potted landscapes in your home.
23. Display art with pomegranates
Pomegranate is full of juicy seeds which symbolize fertility and good luck in feng shui.
24. Put a red lantern on both sides of the bed
This will attract good and powerful yang energy into the bedroom.
25. Vastu tip for a healthy married life

On Sept 28th, Studio Bell was closed to the public for an enlightening evening celebrating the power of music.
The event began with a dinner & discussion on the impact of music in medicine hosted by Ron Mannix and the ME2 Foundation and attended by neurology students from the University of Calgary. After dinner, a lively Q&A session was followed by cocktails and a keynote presentation by Dr. Michael Thaut, Professor and Director of the Music and Health Science Research Collaboratory at the University of Toronto.
The power of music in neuro-therapy as well as advances in this field of research were explained to the delight of a intrigued audience. A post-reception musical performance by Calgary's own Justine Tyrell rounded out one of this year's most interesting Front Row Centre Club presentations.

Share the Gospel, Expect Fruit
Last week I wrote that we should expect to receive opposition when we share our faith. It is also true that we should expect fruit.
When we take the risk of presenting the gospel, good things happen!
The reason that we can expect fruit when we share the gospel is found in the Great Commission. To his disciples, who were told to go and make disciples of all nations, Jesus said: "
Surely, I will be with you always to the very end of the age"
(Matt. 28:20).
We experience his presence in the greatest way when we have the greatest need for Him, i.e., when we know that we are in over our heads and cannot rely solely on our own resources. Here are some examples of God bearing fruit through my gospel interactions with people:
At the Eugene transit station a Teen Challenge student I was training felt impressed to approach a particular group. A young man (about 20) began talking with us. He was angry at God. A friend of his had been shot in a gang-related shooting in Los Angeles. Another friend had died in his arms of a heroine overdose. He wondered why God would allow so many bad things to happen and why God did not answer his prayer for his dying friend. The Teen Challenge student interjected that he had been a heroine user and had, himself, overdosed. He was able to share what the Lord had done for him. I saw this young man soften as we talked with him. It was evident that the Lord had gone before us in this situation matching up the right people.
My friend and I were sharing at Willamalane Park in Springfield. A young man followed us as we shared with various groups of kids. His heart was tender, and eventually we sat with him on a picnic bench and lead him to the Lord. I believe God had been drawing Him even before our encounter.
At Ralston Park in Lebanon I talked to a middle-aged man about the Ten Commandments. As we parted he said that our conversation convinced him to forsake his plan to murder a person who was involved with his lover!
Once I talked with a boy who had had no exposure to the Gospel. He was not literate and came from a very poor home with no internet. He was astonished when I told him God sent his Son to die. He did not think that a loving Father would do such a thing. I explained to him that God did it because He loved him so much. I told him, "God loves you more than you love yourself." Astounded, he exclaimed, "I love myself a lot!" That young man was beginning to comprehend the depth of God's love for the first time.
When I lack motivation to share I think about how many people are being exposed to the Gospel through my efforts.
I came across a boy who was reluctant to take my Gospel comic because he thought it was too much to read. He was with a girl that I had witnessed to the day before. To encourage the boy to read it, I said to the girl: "It's real good, isn't it?" She replied, "Yeah, my friends read it to me seven or eight times yesterday." I was thrilled that they were reading the basics of the gospel over and over.
Hundreds of times, as I'm handing out tracts at a mall or school, I look back and people are reading a gospel presentation. How cool is that!
Not only does God prepare the hearts of those we will share with, Jesus also goes with us directing our steps. One day I was preparing a message on God's guidance when I decided to go to Lebanon High School where I have ministered many times. As I drove toward the school I wondered what part of the campus I should head for so I asked the Lord to lead me. I was still several blocks from away when I noticed two college-age guys and a girl standing at the edge of a field. I took this as the answer to my prayer for guidance. I approached them with my survey on spiritual beliefs. The girl immediately stated her qualifications as a good person: "I have spiritual beliefs. I am a Christian. I know where I'm going when I die. I believe in God and follow the Ten Commandments. That's what God asks of us." As we continued to talk it became clear she believed, as many do, that she could earn her way to heaven. I explained to her that, like all people, her wrongdoing disqualified her from heaven. I explained that Jesus paid the price and that her hope needed to be in what
did for her on the cross. When she realized that she could never be good enough to earn heaven she was amazed and delighted. She had never heard this aspect of the gospel before. Then one of the guys shared that though he was a Christian he did not know where he was going when he died. I was able to share with him about the book of 1 John, which was written to
who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life
" (1 John 5:13). He, like his friend, welcomed this "good news". At the end of our conversation, I went away stunned at how God had directed me to that place at that time to minister to the people God had in mind. I never did arrive at my original destination but I made it to the appointment that God had for me that day.
I encourage you to pray for, watch for and seize opportunities to share spiritual truth with lost people. It will amaze you what God can do!

One of the most talked-about beauty gurus is Jeffree Star. Most of the time, this discussion isn't entirely positive. Star was first seen in the days of Myspace as a singer and performer, going on to become a part of Warped Tour. Jeffree has been problematic since then, stating in one of his songs, "We Want C*nt", that "N****z on death row request me for their last meals." He then began diving into the world of beauty blogging on YouTube and instantly climbed to stardom. This fame led to the establishment of his cosmetics line, Jeffree Star Cosmetics. The brand is praised for their high quality highlighters and liquid lipsticks. In the beginning, I bought into the hype of these lipsticks and bought a few. I loved them at first, but then realized they tasted extremely metallic and also stained my lips. I tried to blind myself from the drama surrounding Jeffree, since I didn't think it mattered.
The first controversy I experienced with Jeffree was his infamous conflict with tattoo artist and makeup icon Kat Von D. The feud started when Kat Von D called out Jeffree for not paying an artist he was working with. She posted the screenshots of their texts, ending Von D and Star's longtime friendship. The texts stated that Star had asked an artist to draw designs for the logo of his makeup brand, and once he got the ideas, he took them as his own and stopped working with the artist. Von D then continued to post on social media about the incident and the two became meddled in an online feud. Many people took sides, though I remained neutral. I was still trying to convince myself that Jeffree was a decent person since so many people loved him. Later on, I realized that this mindset is entirely awful-- a person or company's behavior matters when buying their products.
Star is also notorious for being very, very racist. Recently, he made a video addressing his racist remarks from ten years ago, stating that those were in the past and that he should be forgiven. Such remarks aren't only from the past, though. Only a few months ago, Star called black beauty guru Jackie Aina a rat, and threatened to beat MakeupShayla after calling her a man. In the video, he doesn't apologize to those he has hurt, but only to his fans, who remain blind to his racism and misogyny. There have been countless accounts of Star making misogynistic, racist, and transphobic comments, none of which should be forgiven.
No matter how much evidence is shown of Jeffree Star's problematic behavior, many makeup gurus, influencers, and viewers still seem to support him. Most recently. Kim Kardashian-West posted a video defending his racist comments, which made even more viewers believe his actions to be justified. There are many amazing male makeup artists and gurus out there; Star does not deserve to be exempt from the punishments of his racism, transphobia, and misogyny just because he is a male that wears makeup and defies society's gender roles. A person should never be able to get away with harsh comments and actions, no matter how famous or wealthy they may be. Jeffree Star is no exception to this rule, and there is no real reason to still support his behavior.

weekly stash report
We've had a handful of nice days and althought I can't see anything around us blooming, the bees are coming back to the hive loaded down with pollen. They seem to have made it through the winter, but it's still too cold to do a hive inspection.
Have you seen the Fugly Fabric Party over at Charm About You? It's going on until Valentine's Day. A lot of cute fabric is being given away, and a lot of fabric that looks perfectly serviceable. There's a little bit of ugly stuff there, but nothing that competes with the gambling cartoon coyotes I found in one of my scrap bags. I really should've taken a picture of that stuff before I cut it into little bits and used it in baby quilts!
What do you do with your own ugly fabric -- use it? Or toss it? Or are you one of those quilters who carefully chooses every piece and doesn't wind up with these challenges?
Weekly Stash Report
Fabric Used this Week: 1 yard
Fabric Used year to Date: 11 yards
Added this Week: 5 yards
Added Year to Date: 20 yards
Net Added for 2012: 9 yards
I've decided to stop listing yarn until I actually use or buy some. To see more weekly stash reports, click over to Patchwork Times.

Like you, I cut up ugly fabric until it is usable for its color. But then what is ugly fabric - LOL.
- Denise :) said...
Haha! The above comment made me laugh -- I was just thinking that I have a hard time calling any fabric (in my possession) ugly! :)
- Mary-Kay said...
I didn't know that we had any rabid snakes here in Canada. The imagination of kids is really something. Anyway, I do have some really ugly fabric in my stash and to this day when I look at it, I still think "What was I thinking?". I haven't cut it up yet and there's no hope it will ever be nice fabric. No one likes it!
- Lucy @ Charm About You said...
hahahahaha!! What a great imagination and a truly horrible imaginary friend!! ;) Kids are just brilliant!
Thanks for the mention, people are still linking up so there's even more fabric out there!

Festival of Ideas & Heffers Classics Festival
This November I have a couple of very exciting, and unusual, shows coming up. The first will be on the 1st November from 7.30pm at the Museum of Classical Archaeology at the University of Cambridge as part of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas. Museum curator Dr. Susanne Tuner and I will be delving into the murky ancient past through the medium of music and modern day songwriting. We'll be looking at the tensions between the modern and the ancient world in an intimate unplugged evening, complete with wine! You'll get to hear all of 'River Man' stripped back to it's original format and a little more about the songs and the inspiration behind them, including a new song! The event is free although ticketed, for more information and to book a place:
The second show will be on the 2nd November, 10am - 6pm at the Heffers Classics Festival also in Cambridge. Throughout the day I'll be performing songs from 'River Man' and doing my usual 'goddess' impression.....The festival features many prominent Classics experts including the lovely Mary Beard, David Stuttard (fab Roman at the British Museum gig back in May!) and Caroline Lawrence. I in my geek mode am ridiculously excited and looking forward to bringing some modern day musical interpretation to the field. Tickets are £30 and more information can be found here:

Kingfisher creditors sells shares in company pledged as collateral
A consortium of Indian banks that are owed $2.5bn by Kingfisher Airlines have confirmed the sales of 10 million shares in Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd, a chemical company that is part of Vijay Mallya's business empire, which had been pledged as collateral for loans to help finance Kingfisher's expansion.
A Mumbai court last week declined Mallya's petition to block Kingfisher's lenders from selling collateral. The banks plan to serve Kingfisher legal notice in the next couple of days to recover their remaining debt. Once served, Kingfisher will have 60 days to repay its debt or face the loss of more pledged shares and assets that is estimated to total $1.1 billion.
It has also been confirmed (long reported by this news service) that only two of the 17 aircraft leased by Kingfisher Airlines have received airworthiness certificates allowing them to be flown out of the country. The rest have been cannabalised for parts including APUs, landing gears, engines and even seats.

Rostfrei silverware
Rostfrei silverware is stainless steel and silver cutlery and ware produced in Germany.
Background and Description
'Rostfrei' is a German word that translates literally as 'rust-free'. However, it also means 'stainless steel' when stamped on cutlery, such as the blade of a knife. A 'Rostfrei' stamped knife is likely to be a stainless steel blade, made in Germany, Switzerland, or other German-speaking countries, after 1912.
The process of creating a stainless steel was discovered long before the 20th century, however, it was only in 1912 in Germany that corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties were achieved, and stainless steel brought into production. This year, stainless steel was patented by Krupp.
If an item is indeed 'Rostfrei silverware', this would refer to the 'Rostfrei' stamped portion being stainless steel, and another portion being made of silver plate or sterling silver, for example, the handle of the knife. Therefore, 'Rostfrei silverware' is composed of both the 'Rostfrei', or stainless steel and silver. If there is no silver included, the item can be Rostfrei, but not silverware. An item of silverware that is purely sterling or silver plate would not be described as 'Rostfrei'.
Many seeing this mark assume that this is a manufacturer's name – it is not. Generally the item will include another mark indicating the manufacturer or city of origin.
Much stainless steel and silverware marked 'Rostfrei' originates in Solingen, an area of Germany renowned for its steel production. These items can come from various manufacturers.
Collecting Rostfrei silverware and its value
Rostfrei silverware as a genre is not really collectible. It is more likely for someone to collect a specific make of Rostfrei silverware, or a specific design, such as Art Deco Rostfrei silverware.
Some Rostfrei silverware was used by the German army during the two World Wars, as sets of mess cutlery. This is particularly collectible.
As many people mistake the 'Rostfrei' stamp as a manufacturer's mark, many sellers are not entirely familiar with what exactly they are selling. Care must be taken over ascertaining the true value of an item of Rostfrei silverware.
Cheap copies of European stainless steel and silverware were produced in Asia, and often marked 'Rostfrei' in imitation. These should be avoided by any discerning collector, as they are of lesser quality.
The value of Rostfrei silverware would be entirely dependent on the maker, its age, and whether it is considered antique, as well as how much of the item is 'Rostfrei', or stainless steel, and how much of the item is composed of the more valuable silver. Items advertising themselves as 'Rostfrei silverware' have sold on eBay for $8-$100, depending on whether they consist of a single item of cutlery or a whole dinner set.

— A Ford Focus canister purge valve recall has been issued for nearly 1.5 million cars following complaints about stalled engines.
The 2012-2018 Ford Focus cars are equipped with 2-liter GDI or GTDI engines with canister purge valves (CPVs) that can malfunction and cause too much vacuum in the fuel vapor management systems.
The automaker says in addition to canister purge valves sticking open, the powertrain contol module software won't detect the stuck-open CPVs.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) contacted Ford in May 2018 following complaints from 2012-2014 Focus owners. Ford investigated and found problems with the canister purge valves that caused illuminated warning lights, incorrect fuel gauges, deformed fuel tanks, stalled engines and drivability issues.
In addition, Ford Focus drivers said they couldn't get the engines restarted once they stalled, and many owners complained about the expense of getting the cars repaired.
The 2-liter Focus GDI cars were built before April 13, 2017, and the 2-liter GTDI vehicles were manufactured prior to February 2, 2018.
In total, 1,282,596 of the recalled Focus cars are in the U.S., 136,272 are in Canada and 44,521 in Mexico.
Ford is advising Focus drivers to maintain at least a 1/2 tank of gas until the cars are repaired by dealers. The company also says it's unaware of any crash or injury reports caused by the valves.
According to the automaker, updated powertrain control module software will give a driver an illuminated warning light indicating a stuck-open canister purge valve. This will allegedly prevent damage to the fuel tank.
In addition to updating the powertrain software, Ford dealers will check for diagnostic trouble codes and replace the canister purge valves and possibly replace the fuel delivery modules, fuel tanks and carbon canisters.
The Ford Focus recall is expected to begin December 10, 2018. Focus drivers may call the automaker at 866-436-7332.
Ford's number for this recall is 18S32.
CarComplaints.com has complaints about the Focus cars named in the recall:

Using social impact for commercial sustainability
Many larger organisations are eager to find ways to give back to local communities while many charity and social enterprise organisations seek paths for expansion, yet neither know exactly how to meet the other. In such cases, social impact reports can be extremely helpful in bridging that information gap.
The Sewing Rooms discovered this recently after the social impact report written by Founder and Director Paula Gamester led to a new contract with commercial organisation Panaz. This type of successful collaboration has been used as a case study by SEE Rural, a collaborative project between the University of Cumbria, Manchester Metropolitan University and Edge Hill University looking at social enterprise and entrepreneurship in rural communities.

Making a powerful and empowering difference
Dr Iyabo Fatimilehin, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, visited The Sewing Rooms at the Edith Rigby Bail Hostel to observe the sewing workshops in action. "I was extremely impressed with the session and with the impact the sewing classes have on the self-esteem and self-perception of the women."
He noted in his review that the combination of learning while being creative "allowed them to connect to a positive vision of their future; the impact of this on their mental health and well-being will be significant." He also noted that a major advantage of The Sewing Rooms' approach is that "it is non-stigmatising."

Making a difference – Layla's story
My name is Layla Nolan and I'm a trainee curtain-maker at The Sewing Rooms. I started volunteering here one day a week in July 2013 in the hope that it would help to improve the depression and severe anxiety that I'd been struggling with for a number of years.
During my time here, my mood and self-esteem have noticeably improved. I actually look forward to each day now and am building a wide range of practical skills. This is due in no small part to the fantastic staff and the people who work here. Everyone has been so patient, understanding and supportive.
I am so grateful that there was a place like this that I could become involved with, as I have absolutely no doubt that without it, I would still be trapped at home. Read more >>>

Life-changing support and education
Working with unemployed women staying in Edith Rigby House in Preston, a bail hostel for women awaiting either custodial sentences or for release from prison, The Sewing Rooms' first project of this sort was declared to be "an outstanding success."
Edith Rigby House is one of only six bail hostels for women in England, and as such, offers a unique opportunity to provide innovative, creative education and employment support. Read more >>>

Improving wellbeing
The Sewing Rooms is extremely pleased to have successfully delivered yet another project that made a positive difference to the lives of members of our local community.
Good quality housing is an essential aspect of health and wellbeing, which is why we were very happy to be asked to partner with the Liverpool Housing Trust (LHT) to help revamp some of their properties using products made by our social enterprise sewing academy. Read more >>>

An outstanding success
Following completion of the first of our sewing programmes that are held in Edith Rigby House, Preston – a bail hostel for women either awaiting custodial sentences or waiting to be released from prison – we received fantastic confirmation of our belief in the transformative power of creativity and sewing.
A Lancashire Probation Service Hostel Manager said, "I wanted to offer some feedback on the sewing project you implemented at Edith Rigby House.
"The sewing project was an outstanding success!
"Residents engaged in purposeful activity and spoke very highly of their experience. Read more >>>

Working with Panaz
In the first six months of working with Panaz, The Sewing Rooms were able to support five women and six men, all of whom were isolated and at risk of developing mental health problems, in using up-cycled fabric to revitalise used furniture and sew a number of soft home furnishings for several local organisations and families.
In total, we:
- Made 30 cushion covers and sold them through our store, using the money to buy lunches, tea and coffee for volunteers
- Provided six families living in crisis accommodation with sets of soft home furnishings
- Diverted 100 roll-ends of fabric from landfill
- Helped 11 people learn new skills, make new social connections and gain increased self-confidence
- Covered upcycled dining chairs for re-sale
Growing creativity
Catherine's involvement with The Sewing Rooms started with two hours a week. She has a passion for sewing, but wasn't confident in her abilities and in working with others. Gradually, through the support of everyone on the Sewing Rooms team, her creativity bloomed, and using donated fabric, made cushions and throws for Blackburne House in Liverpool, a leading social enterprise specialising in training, education and consultancy services.
Catherine now attends The Sewing Rooms every day, and says, "It's been a life saver for me.
"I really enjoy being around other people, connecting and doing something that I enjoy, and ultimately, helping others."
She has continued to develop her skills and confidence and recently began attending a farmer's market where she speaks to people about The Sewing Rooms and the social enterprise hub at Gladden House.

Nebraska scored twice and Tri-Cities once in the final 50 seconds of the quarter, and the Danger entered halftime with a 41-14 lead.
Tri-Cities outscored Nebraska 12-0 in the third, but the Danger put up the first 11 points of the fourth.
Bernard went 12-of-25 passing for 204 yards and four touchdowns, and he also ran for two TDs. Simpson finished with six catches for 107 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Who: Soil Association
Start date: August 2018
End date: August 2019
Amount: £276,465
Supported through: Childhood Obesity programme
In partnership with the Soil Association, we are working intensively with schools across Lambeth and Southwark on improving their food provision and getting communities involved in building a healthy food culture in school.
Starting with a one-year programme across six schools, we want to test how the well-established Food for Life national framework can be adapted to meet the specific needs of our inner-city context, and how it may help us address child obesity. Part of our School strand of work on childhood obesity, the project will help us explore how initiatives like these can contribute to closing the childhood obesity 'inequality gap' – bringing the highest rates in these schools' areas down to the levels of the more affluent local neighbourhoods.
October - December 2018
Agreeing working partnerships with local schools. Collect baseline data on their existing food offer, pupil experience of food in the school day, and food education activities; as well as compile obesity data. Agree staff backfilling arrangements to ensure schools can commit to the programme.
October 2018 - January 2019
Building a picture of the existing food offer within the six schools, and how best school caterers and in-house cooks can be engaged to support the outcomes of the programme. Focus groups, training, and 1:1 support will begin in January 2019.
January - July 2019
Providing in-depth support to senior managers, Governors, food leads, pupils and parents / carers so they are equipped to achieve a Food for Life Award as well as specific support for school-led projects. Input is used to shape the training programme and any resources developed. In parallel, designing activities that engage the schools and their wider communities, gathering their input into the programme through creative training events, focus groups and workshops.
June - August 2019
Refining the Food for Life offer based on learning from local partners and understanding of how the actions they have taken link to childhood obesity outcomes.
April - August 2019
Assessing impact of interventions in the six different schools, sharing learning with the school community and other partners, and celebrating school achievements including Food for Life Awards.
Led by Soil Association, the Food for Life Lambeth & Southwark programme will work to support six local schools, a mix of primary and secondary, to achieve Food for Life awards and embed the changes that make the greatest difference to promoting a healthy weight in their schools, adapting the Food for Life framework.
Through working with schools and evaluation partners nationwide since 2007, Food for Life has a robust evidence base, an awards framework and a suite of training courses and in-school resources that support schools to embed a whole-school approach to nutritious food.
At the heart of this one-year pilot project is active engagement: listening to the needs of the schools – located in some of the areas with highest levels of child obesity and deprivation – and the schools' communities to ensure the framework and implementation work best for each local context.
In Lambeth and Southwark, the Soil Association wants to re-examine the core elements of the national Food for Life programme to establish a fresh approach focused specifically on supporting healthy weight. The programme will take into account a range of factors including what issues local pupils face in relation to food, how able are teachers to access training or how can caterers work flexibly to provide more healthy options.
Researchers from The Behavioural Insights Team are contributing evidence on eating behaviours and how cues in the school food environment impact on obesity, to help adapt the framework. They are also helping evaluate the impact of the programme.
Working in partnership with the six schools initially, Food for Life Lambeth & Southwark will evaluate the changes that have the biggest impact on the diet and health of students, and use these lessons to adapt their approach for wider use. Learning from the experience in Lambeth and Southwark will also input into the national delivery of the Food for Life programme.
London has the highest rate of childhood obesity of any major global city, according to the London Health Commission. The prevalence of obesity at Reception, as recorded through the National Child Measurement Programme, is higher in Lambeth (11.1%) and Southwark (12.2%) than the national average (9.3%). This trend becomes more acute in Year 6 children (Lambeth: 23.2%; Southwark: 26.7%; England: 19.8%). We also know that rates of childhood obesity correlate with income levels and are higher in areas of ethnic diversity.
The programme seeks to bring together the things we do know – that cues in the school environment can improve eating behaviours – and what we don't know – exactly which measures will work best for each school – so that schools can have robust approaches in supporting the healthy weight of children in the long-term.
School food can have a significant impact on the diet and nutrition of pupils, and families. Research evaluating Food for Life's work with schools show that pupils in Food for Life schools are twice as likely to eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day and are more likely to eat fruit and veg at home. Soil Association has found that as schools advance through their awards framework (from Bronze to Silver and beyond) these likelihoods increase.
The Soil Association's Food for Life programme is the most widely-commissioned 'food in schools' programme in the country. Currently, 969 schools across the country hold their Food for Life School Award, which is tiered Bronze, Silver and Gold to support continuous improvement towards a 'whole-school approach to food'.
In its initial year, the programme aims to:
If this year-long project is successful, from September 2019 we hope to run multi-year projects across both boroughs, working with more schools to develop a healthy food culture, building on the learning from this initial project.

Mission highlights
The Challengers second flight began at 7:33 a.m. EDT, June 18, 1983, with another on-time liftoff. It was the first flight of an American woman in space -- Sally K. Ride -- and also the largest crew to fly in a single spacecraft up to that time, five people.
Crew members included Robert L. Crippen, commander, making his second Shuttle flight; Frederick H. Hauck, pilot; Ride, John M. Fabian and Norman Thagard, all mission specialists. Thagard conducted medical tests of the Space Adaptation Syndrome nausea and sickness frequently experienced by astronauts during the early phase of a space flight.
Two communications satellites -- Anik C-2 for Telesat of Canada, and Palapa B-l for Indonesia -- were successfully deployed during the first 2 days of the mission. The mission also carried the first Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-l) built by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm, a West German aerospace firm. SPAS-l was unique in that it was designed to operate in the payload bay or be deployed by the RMS as a free-flying satellite. It carried 10 experiments to study formation of metal alloys in microgravity, the operation of heat pipes, instruments for remote sensing observations, and a mass spectrometer to identify various gases in the payload bay. It was deployed by the RMS and flew alongside and over Challenger for several hours while a U.S.-supplied camera took pictures from the SPAS-1 of the orbiter performing various maneuvers. The RMS later grappled the pallet and returned it to the payload bay.
This mission also carried seven GAS canisters which contained a wide variety of experiments, as well as the OSTA-2 payload, a joint U.S.-West German scientific pallet payload. Finally, the orbiter's Ku-band antenna was able to relay data through the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite to a ground terminal for the first time.
STS-7 was scheduled to make the first Shuttle landing at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility. However, unacceptable weather forced a change to Runway 23 at Edwards AFB. The landing took place June 24, 1983, at 6:57 a.m. PDT. The mission lasted 6 days, 2 hours, 23 minutes, 59 seconds. It covered about 2.2 million miles during 97 orbits of the Earth. Challenger was returned to KSC on June 29.
While orbiting a window of the Shuttle was damaged by space debris.
Mission insignia
The seven white stars in the black field of the mission patch, as well as the arm extending from the shuttle in the shape of a 7, tell the flight's numerical designation in the Space Transportation System's mission sequence. The five-armed symbol on the right side illustrates the four male/one female crew.
Wake-up calls
A tradition for NASA human spaceflights since the days of Gemini, mission crews are played a special musical track at the start of each day in space. Each track is specially chosen, often by their families, and usually has a special meaning to an individual member of the crew, or is applicable to their daily activities.

Neil Young has announced a series of UK tour dates next summer where he will be joined by a backing band featuring Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real.
The Canadian rocker will play shows in Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Leeds and London.
Remarkably, it will be the first time the 70 year old rock star has ever played Belfast.
Young embarked on two legs of the Rebel Content Tour with Promise of the Real in 2015 and they'll be resuming it again in Europe next year.
They received positive reviews for their recent shows, and Young, who had previously toured with long-time backing band Crazy Horse, seems to have found a renewed passion for playing old favourites like 'Cortez the Killer' and 'Alabama'.
Tickets go on sale from 9am on Friday (18 Dec).
Neil Young and Promise of the Real play the following UK and Ireland dates:
5 June 2016 – SSE Hydro, Glasgow
7 June 2016 – SSE Arena, Belfast
