In today’s news, United States government provides funding to support Sudanese refugees in Egypt. British analysis predicts cutting air pollution could restore lost monsoon rainfall in India, New Zealand data links late-night eating to poorer metabolic health, Indigenous Guajajara women lead rainforest restoration efforts in Brazil, US animal rescue founder saves hundreds of animal-people during flash floods, South Korean beauty brand launches vegan botanical skincare range in United Arab Emirates, and ant colonies found to organize care for injured nestmates.
There’s a lot to learn in life and those valuable lessons can all be generously passed on. Today, I’d like to share a clever hands-free DIY camera hack for filming your drawing or crafting projects from a first-person perspective. All you need is a wire hanger, one or two rubber bands, and your smartphone. Place the hanger over your head, with the hook resting at the back of your neck. Pull the lower frame of the hanger downwards so it hangs in front of you like a tie, then bend it outward at a 90-degree angle to create a flat support tray for your phone. Place your smartphone on the frame and secure it tightly with rubber bands so it won’t slip. Adjust your camera angle, start recording, and you’re ready to capture your creative process.

“No problem. I’ll just find an electrical outlet...”
“An electrical what?”
?!
