Kelly Wearstler has a motto: Old soul, new spirit, she says. With a 70-person team at her Los Angeles-based studio, Wearstler is the principal and founder of a robust interior and industrial design practice. In her more than 30-year career, shes built that business, launched a fashion line, written a few books, completed her first architectural project, and has just launched her own Substack, Wearstler World.A boy mom who nerds out equally at thrift stores and Fashion Week, Wearstler says her experience teaching a MasterClass showed her how powerful storytelling and community can be. Shes a creature of habit, loves a list, and unapologetically sticks to a strict morning routine that, she says, sets her up for success. Her design philosophy is akin to collecting an eclectic group of friends, wanting nothing to be too perfect, too square, too round, too new, or too old. Leveraging different disciplines, artforms, materials, and perspectives is how she strikes the balance between vintage and innovative, for which her studio is best known.Ive always had a creative spirit. I grew up with strong women in my life; my mom was the most creative out of all of them. Both my grandmothers worked full-time jobs. My mom would always go to thrift stores and break at every yard sale. Wed go to Brimfield. I remember having an allowance, and fashion was my first foray into design. We would go to thrift stores and Id say, Oh my god, I love that belt or scarf. It was about educating my eye and having a wandering eye, being curious, looking at things, turning them over. Thats why I love history, and things that are imperfect. Things that have soul.[Screenshot: Wearstler World]I am a creature of habit and I love organization. Its the key to success and allows me time. I have steady routines. I get up at 5 a.m. so I have time in the morning to myself. I read the The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. I read digital magazines. I work out for an hour and half in the morning. I do my sauna and a five minute meditation at the end before I wake Crosby [her son].When I go to the studio, Im focused. Im not looking at texts. Im with my team and Im really there. Im a list person. I have lists on lists. I make time and plan ahead. I like being one step ahead. Unless Im traveling, thats where I am every day. Im a stickler, and I want my team there, too. The most creative ideas come from sitting around a table together, laying out a set of construction documents and pinning things up on the wall. I have a home studio. After Crosby goes to bed, Ill work some nights. Its quiet and some great ideas come during that time.Its so important to go to artists workshops and studios. To be a good designer, you have to know how things are assembled, how things are put together. There are always discoveries to be made. Thats something they dont teach you in school.Its good to hit roadblocks; It makes you a better designer. We get to solving the problem of designcreativity or functionalitysometimes it takes a long time to figure it out. Im about putting the pencil down and giving it a few days, really just thinking about it and going back to what the original program was. Start at the absolute beginning again. Have conversations with your team and talk it through. Ill say to the architects, go talk to the industrial designers. The studio is a cross pollination of so many disciplines. Its about having many voices and radical candor, being honest with everyone on your team. Saying, I think we need to continue working on it. We dont have a formula. Sometimes things just take more time. The creative flow can be bumpier, but at the end of the day you have a project or product that feels unique and special.My sources of inspiration are so far-reaching. Ive always admired people who did many different things. I read that book, Rangeits really good. Everything you do outside of your main profession strengthens every other thing you do. I took my team to the Petersen Automotive Museum. I discovered so many details. These low-rider cars and the storytelling that goes into every one of them. The tricks these cars can do, to the craftsmanship. Different generations of families worked on these cars for 10 years. Theyre works of art; just the tooling and the paint, the embroidery on the seats. Its phenomenal for anyone in the creative world.Old soul, new spirit. Thats a motto of mine. To be a good designer, you have to know history. You have to know whats been donestyles and periodsand the talents that have moved us forward from the past. I like things that are imperfect.Every single project of ours, Id say 50% is antique or vintage pieces. I dress that way; today I have an old jacket on and trousers from an emerging designer. Old soul, new spirit. Just like your friend group. The old souls and the new spirits. It makes it dynamic and interesting. We have so much to learn. Thats how I started, going to auctions and seeing furniture and lighting and art from all over the world. Its so important.Jesse Lee, who is chairman of the board at Design Miami, says design is the new fashion. Its true. Its everywhere: graphic design, landscape, architecture or interiors. Its how you look at things. Its not just spaces. Its being able to appreciate the assembly, the curation and storytelling.I love sharing anecdotes; I want to fuel the community with things I discover and share my knowledge. MasterClass was an unbelievable experience for me. Ive done guest editing for Vogue Living and Wallpaper. I had a column in InStyle and loved it. I love the curation of imagery and the themes and presentation. With my Substack, Wearstler World, I wanted to pull back the curtain on the connective tissue between design, fashion, travel, and wellness. I wanted to connect all of these different elements and show the relationships between all of these categories. Media is an important part of it.

Continuing our 21st-Century Architecture: 25 Years 25 Buildings series, we take a look at OMA's CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, an iconic symbol of China's construction boom.OMA's skyscraper was among the first wave of high-profile buildings designed by Europe's top architects as China announced its presence as an economic and construction powerhouse.Nicknamed "big pants" by locals and billed as "the greatest work of architecture built in this century" by critics, the extremely distinctive skyscraper gained global attention as a symbol of Beijing.OMA's CCTV Headquarters was the most significant building of 2012The steel and glass building, which houses the headquarters and production facilities for state-owned China Central Television, has an unusual and experimental angular looped shape.Although it officially opened in 2012, its structure and facades were already completed ahead of the Summer Olympics in 2008, when the world's attention turned to the Chinese capital.It led a generation of impressive, often unusual buildings that came to define both China's emergence as a global power and the country's reputation as fertile ground for international architecture studios.A 75-metre bridge connects the top of the building's two towersFormed of two leaning towers that are joined on the upper floors by a 75-metre cantilevered bridge, the gravity-defying building breaks away from the typical skyscraper typology.The CCTV Headquarters was designed by OMA co-founder Rem Koolhaas and German architect Ole Scheeren, who was director of the studio's Beijing office at the time, along with partner David Gianotten and project manager Dongmei Yao.Read: Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall was the most significant building of 2003The skyscraper was met with criticism when its design was first revealed in 2003, with its overhanging bridge, engineered by Arup, raising concerns in the earthquake-prone city.Others were critical of a foreign architect designing the prestigious building. Tsinghua University architecture professor Wu Liangyong, who led a research team studying the buildings of Beijing's 2008 Summer Olympics remarked that "when foreign architects come to China acting like architectural masters, it is a direct result of the sad fact that Chinese people like to call foreigners gods," as reported by The New Yorker.The looped shape of the CCTV Headquarters was designed to encourage a sense of communityKoolhaas maintained that the building's conjoined shape was informed by the Chinese cultural tradition of collectivism, intending to reinforce a sense of community in the building rather than separate people into two separate skyscrapers.A 2009 fire in an adjacent building left the CCTV building needing restoration work, but when it finally opened in 2012, it did so to critical acclaim.It is one of the most beguiling and powerful works I've seen in a lifetime of looking at architecture Nicolai Ouroussof in the New York TimesArchitecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff praised it in the New York Times as "the greatest work of architecture built in this century"."At moments monumental and combative, at others strangely elusive, almost retiring, it is one of the most beguiling and powerful works I've seen in a lifetime of looking at architecture," Ouroussof said."Mr Koolhaas has created an eloquent architectural statement about China's headlong race into the future and, more generally, life in the developed world at the beginning of the 21st century," he continued. "It captures our era much as the great works of the early modernists did theirs."Its unusual form prompted the Chinese president to call for "no more weird architecture"However, the skyscraper's unusual form was not celebrated by all. In 2014, Chinese president Xi Jinping announced he wanted "no more weird architecture" in the country after the Chinese property boom led to a number of bombastic structures.Koolhaas's skyscraper came under fire by Jinping in a two-hour speech made at a literary symposium, along with a pair of bridges over the Yangtze and Jialing rivers in Chongqing that have been compared to female genitalia.His complaints also followed the completion ofa skyscraper shaped like a giant doughnut and Zaha Hadid's pebble-shaped Wangjing Soho complex.Read: SOM's Burj Khalifa was the most significant building of 2010Koolhaas hit back at Jinping's comments and defended his design."I don't have the slightest difficulty in saying, or showing, or demonstrating, that CCTV is a very serious building," Koolhaas told Dezeen at the time."[CCTV is] a building that introduces new ways of conceptualising, liberating and realising structure that did not exist in China before, and of which I'm sure Chinese culture and Chinese architecture will benefit," he added. "It articulates the position and the situation of China."The skyscraper was made from steel and glassA skyscraper akin to the unusual shape of the CCTV Headquarters is unlikely to be built again in China.In February 2016, just over a year after Jinping slated the CCTV Headquarters, China put an end to the trend of unusual architecture by issuing new planning guidance.The country's State Council released a document that forbade "oversized, xenocentric and weird" buildings, stating that all new buildings should be "suitable, economic, green and pleasing to the eye".Koolhaas designed the CCTV Headquarters as an alternative to traditional skyscrapersKoolhaas's design for the CCTV Headquarters featured on the front cover of his book, Content, which was published in 2003.In a chapter titled Kill the Skyscraper, Koolhaas outlined his discontent with skyscrapers at the time, which he argued had become cliched."The skyscraper has become less interesting in inverse proportion to its success," Koolhaas wrote in the chapter. "It has not been refined, but corrupted."I didn't think there was a lot of creative life left in skyscrapersRem KoolhaasAccording to the architect, his design for the CCTV Headquarters sought to offer an alternative to the traditional archetype and redefine the skyscraper.Ironically, after claiming he wanted to "kill the skyscraper", Koolhaas's CCTV Headquarters won the world's best skyscraper in 2013, beating the Shard in London by Renzo Piano.Koolhaas acknowledged this irony when accepting the award,which was given by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).In 2013, the building was named the world's best skyscraper"When I published my last book, Content, in 2003, one chapter was called 'Kill the Skyscraper'," said Koolhaas in a presentation about the project to CTBUH. "Basically, it was an expression of disappointment at the way the skyscraper typology was used and applied.""I didn't think there was a lot of creative life left in skyscrapers," he continued. "Therefore, I tried to launch a campaign against the skyscraper in its more uninspired form.""The fact that I am standing on this stage now, in this position, meant that my declaration of war went completely unnoted and that my campaign was completely unsuccessful."Although the building inevitably became surrounded by more skyscrapers built to greater heights, the CCTV Headquarters still demands attention to this day for its impressive form and rejection of the norm.Whether beloved or loathed, the building serves as a visual reminder of China's construction boom and its rise to economic global dominance in the last quarter-century.Did we get it right? Was the CCTV Headquarters by OMA the most significant building completed in 2012? Let us know in the comments. We will be running a poll once all 25 buildings are revealed to determine the most significant building of the 21st century so far.This article is part of Dezeen's 21st-Century Architecture: 25 Years 25 Buildings series, which looks at the most significant architecture of the 21st century so far.

Following government regulatory changes, Apple has officially confirmed it will launch the new hearing aid features in the UK, for AirPods Pro 2 customers. In a statement to The Telegraph, Apple said it will bring the hearing aid features to UK AirPods Pro users in the coming weeks, following changes to government policy. The UK government policy statement on Thursday clarified that over-the-counter hearing aids are allowed. The policy follows the general framework set out by the US in 2022, that inspired Apple to develop the hearing aid functionality for AirPods in the first instance. The features debuted in the US as a free software update in late 2024. The Hearing Health update includes the ability for users to take a home hearing test, that can check whether users would benefit from hearing aid assistance. The AirPods Pro 2 can then be used to mitigate mild to moderate hearing loss, based on the results of the hearing test. Users can also upload an audiogram taken by a hearing health professional. Additionally, Loud Sound Reduction can automatically reduce the impact of noisy environments, as long as the AirPods earbuds are in your ears.Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

See at ESPN How to watch the Bundesliga from anywhere with a VPNIf you find yourself unable to view Bundesliga matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there. Livestream Bayern Munich vs. Wolfsburg in CanadaCanadian soccer fans looking to watch the German top flight this season can watch every game live via DAZN, including this one.

See at beIN Sports Quick tips for streaming the Bundesliga using a VPNWith four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming Bundesliga matches may vary.If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommendBrave.

On January 7, at 11:10 p.m. in Dubai, Romy Backus received an email from education technology giant PowerSchool notifying her that the school she works at was one of the victims of a data breach that the company discovered on December 28. PowerSchool said hackers had accessed a cloud system that housed a trove of students and teachers private information, including Social Security numbers, medical information, grades, and other personal data from schools all over the world.Given that PowerSchool bills itself as the largest provider of cloud-based education software for K-12 schools some 18,000 schools and more than 60 million students in North America, the impact could be massive, as one tech worker at an affected school told TechCrunch. Sources at school districts impacted by the incident told TechCrunch that hackers accessed all their student and teacher historical data stored in their PowerSchool-provided systems.Backus works at the American School of Dubai, where she manages the schools PowerSchool SIS system. Schools use this system the same system that was hacked to manage student data, like grades, attendance, enrollment, and also more sensitive information such as student Social Security numbers and medical records.The next morning after getting the email from PowerSchool, Backus said she went to see her manager, triggered the schools protocols to handle data breaches, and started investigating the breach to understand exactly what the hackers stole from her school, since PowerSchool didnt provide any details related to her school in its disclosure email.I started digging because I wanted to know more, Backus told TechCrunch. Just telling me that, okay, weve been affected. Great. Well, whats been taken? When was it taken? How bad is it?They werent ready to provide us with any of the concrete information that customers needed in order to do our own diligence, said Backus.Soon after, Backus realized that other administrators at schools that use PowerSchool were trying to find the same answers.Some of it had to do with the confusing and inconsistent communication that came from PowerSchool, according to one of the half-dozen school workers who spoke with TechCrunch on condition that neither they, nor their school district, be named.To [PowerSchool]s credit, they actually alerted their customers very quickly about it, especially when you look at the tech industry as a whole, but their communication lacked any actionable information and was misleading at worst, downright confusing at best, the person said.Contact UsDo you have more information about the PowerSchool breach? From a non-work device, you can contact Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai securely on Signal at +1 917 257 1382, or via Telegram and Keybase @lorenzofb, or email. You also can contact TechCrunch via SecureDrop.In the early hours after PowerSchools notification, schools were scrambling to figure out the extent of the breach, or even if they had been breached at all. The email listservs of PowerSchool customers, where they customarily share information with each other, exploded, as Adam Larsen, the assistant superintendent for Community Unit School District 220 in Oregon, Illinois, put it to TechCrunch.The community quickly realized they were on their own. We need our friends to act quickly because they cant really trust PowerSchools information right now, said Larsen.There was a lot of panic and not reading what has been shared already, and then asking the same questions over and over again, said Backus.Thanks to her own skills and knowledge of the system, Backus said she was able to quickly figure out what data was compromised at her school, and started comparing notes with other workers from other affected schools. When she realized there was a pattern to the breach, and suspecting it may be the same for others, Backus decided to put together a how-to guide with details, such as the specific IP address that the hackers used to breach schools, and steps to take to investigate the incident and determine whether a system had been breached, along with what specific data was stolen.At 4:36 p.m. Dubai time on January 8, less than 24 hours after PowerSchool notified all customers, Backus said she sent a shared Google Doc on WhatsApp in group chats with other PowerSchool administrators based in Europe and across the Middle East, who often share information and resources to help each other. Later that day, after talking to more people and refining the document, Backus said she posted it on the PowerSchool User Group, a non-official support forum for PowerSchool users that has more than 5,000 members.Since then, the document has been updated regularly and grown to nearly 2,000 words, effectively going viral inside the PowerSchool community. As of Friday, the document had been viewed more than 2,500 times, according to Backus, who created a Bit.ly shortlink that allows her to see how many people clicked the link. Several people publicly shared the documents full web address on Reddit and other closed groups, so its likely many more have seen the document. At the time of writing, there were around 30 viewers on the document.On the same day Backus shared her document, Larsen published an open source set of tools, as well as a how-to video, with the goal of helping others.Backus document and Larsens tools are an example of how the community of workers at schools that were hacked and those that were actually not hacked but were still notified by PowerSchool rallied to support each other. School workers have had to resort to helping each other out and responding to the breach in a crowdsourced manner fueled by solidarity and necessity because of the slow and incomplete response from PowerSchool, according to the half-dozen workers at affected schools who participated in the community effort and spoke about their experiences with TechCrunch.Several other school workers supported each other in several Reddit threads. Some of them were published on the K-12 systems administrators subreddit, where users have to be vetted and verified to be able to post.Doug Levin, the co-founder and national director of a nonprofit that helps schools with cybersecurity, the K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX), which published its own FAQ about the PowerSchool hack, told TechCrunch that this kind of open collaboration is common in the community, but the PowerSchool incident is of such a large scope that it is more evident.The sector itself is quite large and diverse and, in general, we have not yet established the information sharing infrastructure that exists in other sectors for cybersecurity incidents, said Levin.Levin underscored the fact that the education sector has to rely on open collaboration through more informal, sometimes public channels often because schools are generally understaffed in terms of IT workers, and lack specialist cybersecurity expertise.Another school worker told TechCrunch that for so many of us, we dont have the funding for the full cybersecurity resources we need to respond to incidents and we have to band together.When reached for comment, PowerSchools spokesperson Beth Keebler told TechCrunch: Our PowerSchool customers are part of a strong security community that is dedicated to sharing information and helping each other. We are grateful for our customers patience and sincerely thank those who jumped in to help their peers by sharing information. We will continue to do the same.Additional reporting by Carly Page.
