I was already interested in baking because I enjoy watching different baking shows, like Nailed It! and Sugar Rush. But when I heard that people wanted my cakes I realized I could just go for it. So, I started my cake business: Lovely London Delights. At first, I had to try a few different times to see how long it would take the cakes to bake perfectly. There were times when the cakes would fall apart; I think they didn’t cook the right way because the batter was too thick and we didn’t put enough oil in the pan to cook it in....

From an early age, I fancifully found myself a prestigious, blossoming cinephile, but the allure of the horror genre was always present and ominous and forbidden. Sure, I had my mini obsessions—Hocus Pocus, Monkey Trouble…Oh, Thora, thank you—but being the deeply closeted tween that I was, I didn’t care about any superheroes. It wasn’t until I secretly watched Halloween on that fateful day in 1998, 20 years after the film’s original release, that I finally witnessed a movie character that I identified with: Laurie Strode....

I first became a chef when I worked in a pub when I was 17 years old. After being a waitress for a little while, I asked the manager if I could work in the kitchen, as I really wanted to make food. Whilst I was there, I found an apprenticeship in a Michelin-star restaurant in Birmingham, where I am from. Since then, I have been working as a professional chef for ten years....

It turned out that I was one of the first negotiators on the scene, and often that’s the individual who ends up speaking with the person in crisis. I just remember being so overwhelmed by how stressful it was. I had to step back from it for a moment and think, “If I don’t get this right, the consequences here are well beyond anything else I’ve faced in my life....

Hamilton was crowned the 2017 Formula One world champion on Sunday after finishing ninth in the Mexico Grand Prix. The 32-year-old took his place among racing’s all-time greats with the title, and several of football’s biggest names took time to congratulate him on his achievement. Neymar even called in over Hamilton’s team radio following the race, saying, “I’m happy for you bro, for four championships.

Liverpool dominated Everton for most of the 1-1 draw at Anfield, with Wayne Rooney’s late penalty denying them the victory after Dejan Lovren nudged Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the area. After the full-time whistle, Klopp was interviewed by Sky Sports and was particularly confrontational as the reporter’s line of questioning relating to the spot-kick irritated him. The German was criticised for his manner and accused of being disrespectful, but believes the situation was blown out of proportion....

Pogba was forced off injured during United’s Champions League opener against Basel, and has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since September 12. The Red Devils have not put a timescale on the 24-year-old’s injury layoff, and Mourinho was once again reluctant to indicate when the club’s record signing would return. Lukaku 13/5 to score first v Southampton “No idea,” Mourinho told reporters. “But again, it’s a great opportunity for other players to play and I trust them all....

When I was in elementary school there were various options for interesting after school lessons and I chose chess. At first I found I played well against students in my area of the same age, and then went on to achieve excellent results in under-8s and under-10s national competitions. At that stage I began to think I could become a professional chess player. My home in Shanghai at the time was very close to where I studied chess, so I’d play chess almost every day for a few hours....

I was told I should make some sort of audition tape, and I had seen Puppy Bowl during the previous seven years it had aired, but the role of the referee had been pretty minimal up until that point. My thoughts were that the “ruf-eree” had to be a motivational person who gets these dogs going so they play puppy football to the best of their ability. But trying to officiate dogs playing football was not something I was used to, and at the time I didn’t have my own dog....
