This is a c rucial concept to understand to minimize food and labor costs\, and to ach ieve an efficient bakery operation. Students will work in groups during th e hands-on production time to construct their own production schedule depe nding on the product types and quantities. The production schedule will be based on essential items at bakeries such as country bread\, baguettes\, ciabatta\, croissants\, cookies\, scones\, and muffins. Students will prod uce the above items in a practical exam as if to operate an actual bakery production in the last few days of this series. We will have a conversatio n with bakery owners in the first half of this series.

PropertiesJoin CPF for a two-part intermediate-level s eminar focusing on the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment o f Historic Properties.The Secretary of the Interior's Standards (SOIS) are among the most widely used preservation tools in the United States\, info rming local project review\, Mills Act agreements\, federal and state ince ntive programs\, environmental review\, and preservation planning efforts. Yet many local government staff and commissioners continue to struggle wi th how the Standards should be interpreted and applied in real-world decis ion-making.This two-part bootcamp is designed specifically for local gover nment decision-makers responsible for reviewing projects affecting histori c resources. Moving beyond a basic introduction\, the program explores how the Standards function as a practical framework for evaluating projects\, balancing competing objectives\, guiding applicants\, and making consiste nt and defensible decisions.Through focused instruction\, case studies\, a nd interactive polling exercises\, participants will examine common preser vation challenges including additions and new construction\, accessibility improvements\, energy-efficiency upgrades\, adaptive reuse projects\, and projects that do not fully meet the Standards. The program will also expl ore the relationship between the Standards\, local preservation review\, a nd California's evolving regulatory landscape\, including Objective Design Standards and recent housing legislation.By the end of the bootcamp\, par ticipants will be better equipped to interpret the Standards\, evaluate co mplex projects\, write defensible findings\, and confidently navigate the gray areas that often arise in historic preservation review.Part 1: Unders tanding the Standards in Real ProjectsTuesday\, Sept. 15 2026 | 10:00 AM t o 1:00 PM     Introduction: 10:00 AM – 10:15 AM 1.

Vincent Piz zuto\, PhD\nA Five Week Online Course\nAugust 27 – September 24 | Thursd ays from 11am – 1pm PT\n\nIn this final semester of our “Portraits of Christ” series\, Fr. Vincent will bring our extended study of Mark’s g ospel to its dramatic conclusion as we delve into an in-depth study of Mar k 14-16\, the earliest account of Christ’s passion in the New Testament. Written as one continuous narrative\, Mark’s account of Christ’s pass ion and death is rich with theology and literary ‘brush strokes’ uniqu e to Mark’s portrait of Christ as the “Suffering Servant.” As we wil l see\, it is precisely in his moment of death\, the moment the Eternal Wo rd is silenced\, that Jesus is at last recognized\, indeed proclaimed\, “Son of God” (Mk. 15:39). Together we will explore the fateful moments leading up to the death of Christ\, and to the enigmatic way in which Mar k leaves us not so much with the ‘Hollywood ending’ of resurrection bu t with the stark\, indeed terrify\, confrontation with an empty tomb. We w ill meditate with Hans Urs von Balthasar\, how the Eternal Word becomes\, in the very moment of death\, the“Unword” (German: Un-Wort)\, in a sel f-emptying of the flesh that surpasses all language and defies all theo-lo gic. For Mark\, the silence of the Cross becomes God’s greatest revelati on in Christ.\n\nA fitting end to an enigmatic text\, this semester will c onclude our exploration of Mark’s gospel as one that is as rich as it is compelling\, full of hidden mysteries\, messianic secrets\, and wisdom te achings that reveal far more theological depth than its brusque simplicity would suggest. This intimate analysis of Mark’s Passion Narrative will explore its verses in fine detail through the interpretive tools of modern exegesis\, as we plumb its ancient message for the modern church. Especia lly designed for contemplatives\, this last in our series of classes is de signed to aid the Christian in the practice of Lectio Divina on Mark’s g ospel\, in ways that ground the life and practice of contemplative Christi ans today.\n\nLearn more and register >> LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T012924Z LOCATION:Online URL:https://www.diocal.org/calendars/portraits-of-christ-vii/2026-09-17/?u tm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=san-francisco-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:The Diocese of California X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.diocal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:1850's San Francisco: Paris Of The Pacific DTSTART:20260917T180000Z DTEND:20260917T200000Z DTSTAMP:20260914T190118Z UID:1715202-1789642800-1789642800@www.sfcityguides.org CATEGORIES:education LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T190118Z LOCATION:1850’s San Francisco: Paris Of The Pacific URL:https://www.sfcityguides.org/event/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium =ics&utm_campaign=san-francisco-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:San Francisco City Guides X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.sfcityguides.org/mobile.php END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Presidio: From Military Base to National Park with Tunnel Tops DTSTART:20260917T200000Z DTEND:20260917T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260915T005950Z UID:1715208-1789650000-1789650000@www.sfcityguides.org CATEGORIES:education LAST-MODIFIED:20260915T005950Z LOCATION:Presidio URL:https://www.sfcityguides.org/event/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium =ics&utm_campaign=san-francisco-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:San Francisco City Guides X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.sfcityguides.org/mobile.php END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Easy Sketching with Eileen: Flower Piano DTSTART:20260918T110000Z DTEND:20260918T123000Z DTSTAMP:20260824T000815Z UID:10002006-1789729200-1789734600@gggp.org CATEGORIES:arts,education DESCRIPTION:Registration includes a comprehensive sketch kit. \nFriday\, S eptember 18\, 2026\n11am-12:30pm\nSan Francisco Botanical Garden — Meet at Main Gate \nAbout the Program\nSketch pianos at this amazing event in t he San Francisco Botanical Garden!

It grew ou t of a grassroots community movement during Northern Ireland’s Troubles. Parents recognised that the separation of children into different schools depending on their religious background was fuelling a divided society an d hindering social and economic progress. \n45 years on from the creation of the first Integrated school in Belfast\, much has been achieved…and m uch remains to be done. Since 1981 Integrated Education has grown from jus t twenty-eight pupils in one school to 28\,000 pupils in more than seventy Integrated schools across Northern Ireland today. However\, despite clear popular support for this model\, more than 90 percent of Northern Ireland ’s children still attend schools that are de facto either Protestant or Catholic.\nJoin us for an evening to explore the successes and challenges of the Integrated Education movement and its role in modern Northern Irela nd. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nPaul Caskey OBE\, Chief Executive of the Integrated Education Fund\nPast pupils of Integrated schools\n\nLight refr eshments will be provided.

Kenneally’s lived experience with incarceration\, homelessness\, and poverty in her youth\, has shaped 30 years of immersive image-based collaborations in community with kindred spirits across America. Situated in image-based historical co ntext\, her work debunks the myth of “Bootstrap America” and exists as an antidote to internalized shame for those who “fail” to achieve it. Brenda explodes the “dangerous” fly on the wall myth of documentary w ork by harnessing the transformative power of photography to build counter narratives. \n\n\n\nKenneally’s “Upstate Girls” project led her to form A Little Creative Class\, Inc. The non-profit arts organization has a mission to address the obstacles that deter marginalized communities fro m engaging in creative expression. \n\n\n\nKenneally has received institu tional recognition including\; fellowships from The Soros and Warhol Found ations\, The NEA\, The W Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography\, W orld\, National Press Awards\, New York State Council for the Arts\, NYFA and Humanities Council Funding\, Canon\, Getty and Mother Jones grants. \ n\n\n\nKenneally says that some of the most important documentary work she has ever done led to a collaboration with her desert community to replace her best friend Sun Shine’s condemnable house trailer. \n\n\n\n\n\nBre nda Ann Kenneally (continued). \n\n\n\nAmong other feats of documentary ma gic Kenneally has been blessed to pull off\, was a cross-country trip from upstate New York to Bombay Beach\, CA with six teens who struggled with t rauma based social anxieties. Kenneally funded\, produced\, documented\, a nd drove the bus for that trip. In 2025\, Kenneally expanded “The Scrapb ook Project” movement that she founded in 2008\, to include an ongoing c ollaboration with The Skid Row Artist Community in Downtown Los Angeles. \ n\n\n\nJett Lara is a photographic artist living in Los Angeles since 2016 . Lara is known for his work in Los Angeles and his deep connection to his subjects\, shaped through chance encounters and orchestrated images with the people in his world. The world he invents through images was shaped by years of lived experience and self-taught photography.

Klekamp College of Law \nVia Zoom \nRSVP HERE \nCollaborative confl ict resolution processes aren’t always possible\, especially in bureaucr acies where communication is limited. When all else fails\, rejected parti es can still make progress: Andrew Mamo introduced a theory of “counter- design\,” where parties challenge and reimagine dispute resolution syste ms through activities like unveiling\, tagging\, and assembling. An exampl e is Dan Berstein’s work convincing dispute resolution organizations to update policies that were stigmatizing mental illness. This workshop uses Dan’s stories as counter-design case studies. Participants will receive tools they can use right away to [1] create better systems so there is no need for counter-design\, and [2] apply counter-design strategies when stu ck in a system that is not working. \n  \nAndrew Mamo\nAndrew Mamo is a p rofessor of law at the University of Cincinnati Donald P. Klekamp College of Law. His research concerns the history and theory of dispute resolution and negotiation\, with an emphasis on the history of dispute resolution p ractices\, the role of technology in dispute resolution\, and the professi onalization of dispute resolution. His current projects include a study of the institutionalization of dispute resolution services in the late twent ieth century. Mamo received his SB in physics from the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology\, his PhD in history from the University of California\ , Berkeley\, and his JD from Harvard Law School. After graduating from law school\, Mamo clerked for Judge Hisashi Owada and Judge Julia Sebutinde o f the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He then worked on cross -border capital markets and project finance transactions at a major intern ational law firm in Singapore. Mamo joined Harvard Law School as Lecturer in Law and a Clinical Instructor at the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program\, teaching negotiation and supervising teams of clinical students representing clients on a range of dispute systems design project s. Prior to joining the College of Law\, he was an Assistant Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law. \n  \nDan Berstein\nD an Berstein is a mediator living with bipolar disorder\, working to adapt conflict resolution best practices to promote empowering mental health com munication and prevent mental illness discrimination. Since 2012\, Dan’s company\, MH Mediate\, has helped professionals\, organizations\, and gov ernment agencies address challenging behaviors without discriminating agai nst people who have mental health conditions. MH Mediate provides free res ources to help different stakeholders use conflict resolution tools to pre vent mental illness stigma. They are hosted on the Dispute Resolution In M ental Health Initiative (DRMH Initiative) website\, originally funded by t he AAA-ICDR Foundation and developed in partnership with the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center. MH Mediate’s Mental Health Safe Project (MH Safe) als o provides free addendum content to parties affected by discriminatory gui dance about mental illness. Its DisabilityRadar.com website empowers peopl e to anonymously report problems. Dan leads the Rights\, Ethics\, and Voic es in Dispute Resolution (REV-DR) project to help parties know their right s and how to respond to misconduct. Mitchell Hamline School of Law’s DRI Press recently published a new edition of Dan’s book\, Mental Health an d Conflicts: A Handbook for Empowerment\, which was originally published b y the ABA. Dan holds degrees from the Wharton School and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. \n  \nFor more information on the Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series\, please visit the CNDR website.
