This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 Growing up, Zoe Terrell dreamed of becoming an artist - she sketched scenes from her local farmers market and even won drawing competitions in her native South Korea. But she eventually learned what many creative people know too well. "My dad was like, 'Well, drawing is not going to feed you,' " Terrell says. So she studied education in college and, after moving to the United States in 2008, taught Korean - that is, until a curious job listing caught her eye. An ocean away, Terrell called her dad with surprising news: "Hey, guess what, Dad? Now, drawing is going to feed me," she recalls with a laugh. Terrell is one of hundreds of sign artists employed by grocery store Trader Joe's. You probably know the idiosyncratic chain for its eccentric snacks and peppy cashiers, but that festive atmosphere extends to the stores' interior design, too: Each of the 500-plus outposts has custom, … [Read more...] about Behind every Trader Joe’s sign is a working artist who painted it

Reynolds refutes co-driver switch claim
Listen to this article Grove Racing announced its Bathurst 1000 pairings earlier this week, confirming that Reynolds will partner Porsche factory driver Campbell, while Super2 regular Payne will be paired with Lee Holdsworth . That came as somewhat of a surprise given it had long been expected that Payne would be with Reynolds and Campbell in the Holdsworth car. However, when asked why the switch happened, Reynolds refuted that a decision had ever been made on driver pairings. He said it was always left open until a final decision was made by the team in recent weeks. Reynolds also said he would have been happy with either of the 'Matts' as his co-driver for the Great Race, although conceded that he is a better physical fit with Campbell rather than Payne. "At the start of the year everyone assumed things but there was nothing determined in terms of which of the Matts we would be paired with," he said. "I think they only got together recently to decide what was … [Read more...] about Reynolds refutes co-driver switch claim
Tracking the trends of car development in 2022 · RaceFans
The new regulations for Formula 1 this year created a unique opportunity for ten very different looking cars to line up on the grid in Bahrain at the start of the season. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Each team had their own design philosophy and took different design approaches to the new set of regulatuions. However, over the course of the season, some of these concepts have shown clear advantages and many of the cars on the grid have started to converge into a handful of particular design philosophies. Sidepod concepts The three main sidepod design philosophies that had emerged at the beginning of the season were the inwash, downwash, and outwash concepts. Mercedes and McLaren had notably taken the inwash concept where, from the top view of the car, the rear of the coke bottle section narrows inwards into the rear bodywork without a very aggressive undercut on the sidepods, making for a rather short sidepod. The inwash concept is designed for the … [Read more...] about Tracking the trends of car development in 2022 · RaceFans
Eat of the Week: Vietnamese steak and eggs at a Montrose coffee shop that can do it all
Every Friday, Chron's food team shares a standout dish from their experiences dining out during the week. Follow along to see why we love these Houston eats. The eat: Blacksmith's Vietnamese steak and eggs ($15) I am constantly battling the challenge of finding a coffee shop where I love both the coffee and the food menu. Some places have a brew I can't live without, but a sad version of avocado toast, and others have the breakfast tacos I need in my life, but a lackluster coffee bar. And don't get me started on an only-pastry program—this coffee addict needs a savory bite. Despite the plethora of coffee shops in every neighborhood around town, I find myself returning time and time again to Blacksmith in Montrose, where both the eats and drinks have been unparalleled for 10 years, thanks to longtime coffee guru David Buehrer, and talented chef Erin Smith Feges, who created the shop's opening menu. Here, coffee cups are giant and served scalding hot, because who wants to … [Read more...] about Eat of the Week: Vietnamese steak and eggs at a Montrose coffee shop that can do it all
Market blast in north Syria kills 15 people, wounds dozens
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 BEIRUT (AP) — A rocket attack on a crowded market in a town held by Turkey-backed opposition fighters in northern Syria Friday killed 15 people and wounded dozens, an opposition war monitor and a paramedic group reported. The attack on the town of al-Bab came days after a Turkish airstrike killed at least 11 Syrian troops and U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, blamed Syrian government forces for the shelling Friday, saying it was in retaliation for the Turkish airstrike. The Observatory said the attack killed 15 people, including three children, and wounded more than 30. The opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense, also known as White Helmets, had the same death but said 28 were wounded. The paramedic group said its members evacuated some of the wounded and the dead bodies. “This is the worst massacres committed … [Read more...] about Market blast in north Syria kills 15 people, wounds dozens
Endurance sports make a life-changing update for nonbinary athletes
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 It would be easy to look at professional triathlete Rach McBride and assume they always feel at home at a starting line. They've placed at world championship races, won Ironman 70.3 (half Ironman) races and conquered the field at gravel cycling races. But until last year, that wasn't the case. Despite a long, impressive list of titles and accomplishments, McBride (they/them), a 44-year-old Canadian, always felt a bit out of place when lining up. At the 2021 Big Sugar Gravel race in Arkansas, however, everything changed. Big Sugar was the first event in which McBride had the opportunity to race in a nonbinary category. The event, says McBride, was nothing short of life-changing. "For a person outside the gender binary, it can be really dysphoric to have to check an 'M' or 'F' box on a registration form, be misgendered at a start or finish line, to have to use gendered … [Read more...] about Endurance sports make a life-changing update for nonbinary athletes
Sandown Supercars: Whincup tops co-driver practice
Listen to this article The Bathurst 1000 co-drivers were given half an hour of running as part of the Sandown SuperSprint this afternoon. The session is the only official running for co-drivers before practice for the Great Race kicks off in early October. Triple Eight duo Whincup and Garth Tander were consistently at the top across the co-driver session, although initially it was Tander that led the way with a 1m08.548s. Walkinshaw Andretti United's Fabian Coulthard briefly jumped the pair late in the session with a 1m08.519s. However a green tyre run right at the flag saw Whincup fire to the top with a 1m08.230s. That time was roughly two tenths quicker than primary driver Broc Feeney went in the #88 Holden in the earlier session today . Tander was also able to improve on his final run to move back ahead of Coulthard, the gap to Whincup around two tenths. Tony D'Alberto was the best-placed Ford with the fourth fastest time in the #11 Dick Johnson … [Read more...] about Sandown Supercars: Whincup tops co-driver practice
Michael Masi reportedly closing in on return to motorsport after FIA exit
Ex-Formula 1 race director Michael Masi is reportedly on the verge of being named as the new chairman of the Supercars Commission. Masi took over as Formula 1 race director in 2019 following the sudden passing of Charlie Whiting, though his time in the role ended under very controversial circumstances. The Aussie’s decisions at the 2021 season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix directly influenced the outcome of the World Championship, as Max Verstappen snatched the title from Lewis Hamilton on the final lap, denying him a record eighth crown. Prior to the 2022 campaign getting underway, Masi was removed from the race director position as part of a restructuring of Race Control, before departing the FIA completely in July. Speaking to Speedcafe.com after his exit from the FIA, Masi said: “It has been a pleasure and honour representing the FIA as the single-seater sporting director and FIA Formula 1 race director and safety delegate since Charlie [Whiting’s] unexpected and … [Read more...] about Michael Masi reportedly closing in on return to motorsport after FIA exit
