It captures the **bold energy** of the chocolate treat, with design cues drawn from the distinctive spine of the 'S', the rhythm of vertical strokes, and angled terminals. This typeface infuses the brand's playful character across the full alphabet of letterforms.  *(Image credit: Snickers/Studio Drama)* ### Versatility in Design The typeface offers flexibility with two main styles: **Snickers Sans Display** and **Snickers Sans Text**. The Display version comes in both **Epic** and **Everyday** styles, allowing for casual or bold, punchy applications in headlines, packaging, and campaigns. The Text version serves as an understated companion, available in Regular and Bold weights to ensure **legibility** and **accessibility** across brand copy.  *(Image credit: Snickers/Studio Drama)* ### Revamping the Iconic Logotype Beyond the typeface, the project also involved a subtle yet impactful revamp of Snickers' iconic logotype. Studio Drama refined spacing and structural relationships between letters, tightening subtle details for an **elevated** look. This clean update brings the brand into a confident new era while preserving its quintessential **Snickers attitude**.  *(Image credit: Snickers/Studio Drama)* This redesign highlights how effective a simple yet striking design can be in creating an identity that spans generations, solidifying Snickers' position as one of the **best logos** in the confectionery sphere.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>typography</category> <category>branding</category> <category>snickers</category> <category>design</category> <category>font</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tw4c3Ex9V48uyZzxUb39g8-2560-80.webp" length="0" type="image/webp"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[When Plagiarism Backfires: GWM's Apology for Copying Land Rover's Iconic Ad]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/when-plagiarism-backfires-gwms-apology-for-copying-land-rovers-iconic-ad</link> <guid>when-plagiarism-backfires-gwms-apology-for-copying-land-rovers-iconic-ad</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 19:00:25 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *GWM's ad (left) vs Land Rover's (right)* Red smoke in the background? Check. Well-dressed Asian man pointing his hand reverently toward the bonnet of an SUV? Check. Said bonnet protruding from the right-hand side of the frame? Check. Yep, the similarities are striking enough that the chairman of GWM has been forced to apologize. As spotted by our sister site TechRadar, Wei Jiangjun took to social media to take full responsibility for the incident, stating: “After verification, the poster was indeed plagiarized,” he said in Mandarin and translated to English by IT-Home. “**There can be no justification**,” he added, before going on to claim that GWM would take “full legal and financial responsibility” for the slip-up. This isn't the first plagiarism scandal we've seen hit the design world in recent months. From Pickmon's shady practices to the minefield that is AI and copyright, artists and designers need to be more vigilant than ever when it comes to having their homework copied.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>plagiarism</category> <category>advertising</category> <category>designethics</category> <category>branding</category> <category>copyright</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Nn3KmmXUtfGJnXHDXbzEwM-1920-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[7 Genius Camping Gadgets for 2026 That Turn the Great Outdoors into a Luxury Retreat]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/7-genius-camping-gadgets-for-2026-that-turn-the-great-outdoors-into-a-luxury-retreat</link> <guid>7-genius-camping-gadgets-for-2026-that-turn-the-great-outdoors-into-a-luxury-retreat</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Mar 2026 19:00:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><  Most camping pillows solve exactly one problem: they pack small. Designer Chen Xu took a different starting point, drawing the **Camp Napper**'s form from two biological sources: the surface texture of fungal spores shaped the contact face, and the hollow vascular geometry of plant stems informed the core. Voronoi polygon modelling mapped how pressure from a sleeping head spreads, then engineered protrusions and recesses to respond to that specific data. The front face has raised cellular structures that increase skin contact area and channel airflow simultaneously. Four tactile zones on the back face offer orientation-dependent customization. The hollow stem-derived core keeps total weight around 400 grams and packs to roughly the volume of a water cup. Memory foam holds the bionic geometry through repeated use, and anti-slip rubber particles on the base keep it stable across sleeping pads and hard floors. Note: the surface patterning is not for the trypophobic. ### What we like - **Voronoi-mapped surface** addresses pressure distribution and airflow through the same structural solution, not two separate ones - Four tactile zones on the back face give orientation-dependent comfort options uncommon in this category ### What we dislike - The cellular surface patterning will be a hard stop for anyone with trypophobia - No published compression specification for cold-weather performance, where memory foam typically stiffens ## 2. The Cube   Tent assembly has not changed meaningfully in decades: poles, sleeves, and a diagram drawn by someone who has never camped. South African brand Alphago chose to treat that process as an engineering failure. **The Cube** is an inflatable tent with an air tube frame system that inflates via a wireless electric pump. One button press. Four minutes. No poles, no instructions, no arguments about which end faces the wind. Speed is not the whole story. The Cube is built around comfort, with a stretched silhouette that allows standing height across most of the interior. The WeatherTec system uses welded floors and inverted seams, and both entrances have three independently operable layers: privacy screening, mosquito netting, and weather panels. Some configurations include integrated tables and storage drawers, extending the product into something closer to portable infrastructure than a simple shelter. ### What we like - **Four-minute wireless inflation** eliminates the primary friction point of traditional tent setup - The three-layer entrance system handles every weather condition without reconfiguring the tent ### What we dislike - Air tube frames are vulnerable to puncture in ways pole frames are not; field repair requires preparation - Inflatable architecture is larger and heavier than a comparable pole tent at the same floor area ## 3. All-in-One Grill  Outdoor cooking tends to bifurcate: bring a single-function grill and eat the same three things, or haul a kitchen’s worth of equipment and spend more time on logistics than on the fire. This modular tabletop grill takes a third position. Interchangeable cooking modules cover barbecuing, frying, grilling, steaming, smoking, and stew cooking from a single portable base, with a dedicated upright module for warming bottles — mulled wine included. The compact footprint sits on any camp table without dominating it, and the modular construction that makes it versatile also simplifies cleaning. When one system handles multiple cooking methods, the question of what to cook becomes a matter of appetite rather than equipment logistics. ### What we like - **Six distinct cooking methods** from one portable base, without multiple devices or fuel sources - A dedicated bottle-warming module is a specific, practical detail most outdoor cooking systems overlook ### What we dislike - Modular systems accumulate small parts that are easy to misplace; no information on replacement part availability - Tabletop-only design limits cooking capacity for larger groups ## 4. TMB: The Modular Bottle <iframe title="TMB The Modular Bottle" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tJlqxG0kd1M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" id="fitvid172924"></iframe>  Hydration gear has a design problem few products acknowledge: one bottle cannot simultaneously optimize for commuting, exercise, and trail hiking. **The TMB Modular Bottle** builds adaptation into the object itself. The borosilicate glass interior preserves drink flavor without absorbing taste or odor — a material property that distinguishes it from the steel and plastic alternatives dominating this category. A translucent mid-section gives a constant view of remaining liquid, removing minor but real friction from the outdoor day. The modular design allows configuration changes based on activity. For camping specifically, the glass interior means whatever you fill it with tastes like itself rather than the container. Easy disassembly for cleaning prevents the stale odor buildup that makes most reusable bottles unpleasant after weeks of real use. ### What we like - **Borosilicate glass** preserves drink flavor without imparting taste or odor, a material advantage over steel or plastic - The translucent mid-section gives a real-time view of the remaining liquid that opaque bottles hide ### What we dislike - Glass interiors, even borosilicate, carry more breakage risk than steel alternatives in rough outdoor handling - Modular assembly adds cleaning complexity compared to a single-body bottle ## 5. Portable Fire Pit Stand <iframe title="Rediscover the Joys of Outdoor Camping and Meals with this Portable Fire Pit Stand" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u9W7Cd19DrE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" id="fitvid119808"></iframe>  There is an honesty to a fire pit that most portable cooking solutions sidestep. This bonfire stand brings it back without the permanence of a built pit or the flimsiness of a folding ring. The steel plate construction uses sheet metal technology to resist the warping and distortion that heat cycling causes in cheaper materials, and the punched holes and cutouts give it an industrial character while improving airflow around the burn. Assembly works like a puzzle — metal pieces interlock without tools. Removable trivets open the cooking configuration to grilling, frying, and more. The warp-resistant black steel plate holds its geometry through repeated heating and cooling cycles, a failure mode that undermines most portable fire hardware after a single season. ### What we like - **Warp-resistant steel construction** maintains geometry through repeated heat cycling, where most portable fire hardware eventually distorts - Tool-free interlocking assembly means no accessories that can be forgotten at home ### What we dislike - Open fire structure requires a flat, stable, fire-safe surface — more site-dependent than enclosed stove alternatives - Black steel requires dry storage and some maintenance to prevent surface rust ## 6. Hot Pocket   Cold sleeping bag syndrome follows a predictable pattern: zip in, spend the first twenty minutes waiting for body heat to build, arrive at warmth already half-asleep and irritated. **The Hot Pocket**, created by the Sierra Madre team, breaks that cycle before it starts. It stores and compresses your sleeping bag or quilt during the day, then pre-heats the insulation before you get in — so the first moment of contact is already warm. The system is wireless and portable, designed for use beyond the campsite: ski slopes, sports sidelines, anywhere pre-warmed insulation matters. The on-demand heating replaces disposable chemical heat packs, which degrade after a single use. Compression and heating are integrated into one object, handling a task the sleeping bag needed done anyway — storage and transport — while adding warmth as a built-in function. ### What we like - **Pre-heating** eliminates the body-heat warm-up window that makes the first stretch in a cold sleeping bag genuinely unpleasant - Integrated compression and heating replace disposable chemical packs with a reusable, on-demand solution ### What we dislike - Wireless operation adds battery management to the camping checklist; no published battery life data - Pre-heating duration and heat retention are unspecified, making it difficult to plan around the product’s actual warming window ## 7. DraftPro Top Can Opener <iframe loading="lazy" title="DraftPro Top Can Opener: Quick & Easy Demo" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-FkbAMIXbdM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" id="fitvid252734"></iframe>  The DraftPro is not solving a survival problem. It is solving an experience problem. Designed by Japanese designer Shu Kanno, the tool removes the entire top of a can to create a wide-mouth opening that changes how the contents smell, taste, and behave. For beer, full-top removal mimics drinking from a glass, releasing aroma rather than directing it through a small aperture. The smooth-edged finish removes the safety concern that other full-removal openers have historically carried. The camping application extends beyond drinking. With the top off, you can add ice directly to the can or build a cocktail inside it without a separate vessel. The opener handles domestic and international can sizes, which matters when available canned goods do not match a home market. For a campsite where the evening drink matters as much as the fire, this is the detail that earns its place. ### What we like - **Full top removal** creates a draft-style drinking experience with full aroma release — a functional difference from standard can opening - The can-as-vessel approach allows ice-adding and cocktail preparation without additional cups or shakers ### What we dislike - Single-function specialization means it earns a spot only if canned beverages are a consistent part of the camping plan - No published durability specification for the cutting mechanism over time ## Spring’s best case for smarter camping What connects these seven products is not a shared price point or aesthetic — it is a shared refusal to accept that outdoor gear has to be difficult, uncomfortable, or boring. The Camp Napper applies biological modeling to a pillow. The Cube eliminates the most frustrating fifteen minutes of any camping trip. The DraftPro turns a can into a proper drinking vessel. Each object is the result of someone looking at a friction point in outdoor life and deciding it deserved a real answer. Spring camping is the ideal moment to bring these to a campsite. The temperatures invite longer stays, the light cooperates, and the desire to actually be comfortable rather than just surviving outdoors is at its highest. These products meet that desire with design intelligence rather than compromised portability or bulky engineering. Pack accordingly.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>camping</category> <category>gadgets</category> <category>design</category> <category>innovation</category> <category>outdoor</category> <enclosure url="https://www.yankodesign.com/images/design_news/2026/03/genius-spring-camping-gadgets-for-2026-that-make-the-great-outdoors-feel-like-a-five-star-hotel/7_best_camping_spring_gear_yanko_design_hero.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Inside Athena Calderone's Stunning Tribeca Apartment: A Design Journey from Brooklyn to Manhattan]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/inside-athena-calderones-stunning-tribeca-apartment-a-design-journey-from-brooklyn-to-manhattan</link> <guid>inside-athena-calderones-stunning-tribeca-apartment-a-design-journey-from-brooklyn-to-manhattan</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Mar 2026 19:00:24 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Athena Calderone, the founder of EyeSwoon, has made a bold move from her Instagram-famous Brooklyn town house to a storied Tribeca apartment, finding a new focus in design. This transition marks a significant shift in her aesthetic and creative journey. ## A New Chapter in Manhattan After launching a thriving business that showcased her Brooklyn home, Calderone and her husband, Victor, a music producer and DJ, purchased a Manhattan apartment in 2023. The move came after decades in Brooklyn, where she nurtured her design business, published books, and authored furniture collections. As *The New York Times* put it, she asked, "What happens when you get so influential that you're bored by your own aesthetic?" ## Embracing the Apartment's History The apartment, located in an early 1900s building in Tribeca, was originally the executive suite of the Borden condensed milk company. It features **herringbone floors**, **13-foot ceilings**, and **oak-paneled walls** the color of chocolate syrup. Previously owned by the French architect Thierry Despont, known for projects like the Statue of Liberty renovation, the space had a sepia-toned folly with unique elements like kitchen stools from a 1930s Italian motor yacht. Calderone initially debated bleaching the dark woodwork but, inspired by a trip to Vienna and Adolf Loos's American Bar, decided to embrace the darkness. She enlisted the **Brownstone Boys** to refinish the woodwork beautifully, proving that "where there's a will, there's a way." ## Design Collaborations and Inspirations Working with architect Danielle Siggerud based in Copenhagen and her team at Studio Athena Calderone, they made respectful updates to the floor plan. They transposed the kitchen and dining room to make the former lighter and larger, and added a home office and music production studio. Calderone notes, "We massaged and really kind of juiced every last bit of square footage out of this space." A visit to Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan, built by Piero Portaluppi in 1935, was an epiphany for Calderone, helping her understand the apartment's potential and the seduction of a more formal way of life. She incorporated a **datum line**—a slender horizontal band that encircles rooms, making ceilings appear to float—inspired by Villa Necchi. ## Key Design Elements and Materials Calderone's excitement for materials is evident throughout the apartment: - **Parchment**, **silver leaf**, and **etched glass** are among her favorites. - The kitchen features a monolith of dusky red **Kinnekulle limestone** for the island countertop, replacing her previous Calacatta Paonazzo marble. - **Burnished-nickel pulls** on double doors add a touch of elegance. - She ventured into **hardware design**, expanding her creative horizons. ## Art and Furniture Collections Spellbound by the **Vienna Secession** and **Art Deco** movements, Calderone built a collection centered on these periods, sourcing pieces from European auctions online. Highlights include: - A circa 1900 ebonized Viennese desk. - A Cible table by Jean Prouvé and Jules Leleu. - Two Jacques Adnet armchairs in original copper velvet. - Maria Pergay's 1968 Flying Carpet daybed, a prized auction find. She also partnered with brands like **Calico Wallpaper**, **Lowe Hardware**, **Colbourns carpets**, and **Amuneal** to create custom details, describing this work as some of the most gratifying of her creative life. ## Personal Reflections and Future Outlook Calderone reflects on this apartment as a "grown-up, more sophisticated, more educated version" of herself. While her husband jokes it might be their last move, she remains open to future possibilities. The space embodies the elegance and self-discipline that define her approach to design, from fashion to pastry-making. This story highlights how Calderone's move to Manhattan has allowed her to explore new design territories, blending historical elements with personal creativity to create a truly unique home.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>interiordesign</category> <category>tribeca</category> <category>artdeco</category> <category>renovation</category> <category>homedecor</category> <enclosure url="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/69a5a736d5b7b2a9a51eaf9c/16:9/w_1280,c_limit/AD0426_CALDERONE_13%20copy.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[14 Insider Secrets Nail Techs Won't Tell You: What They Really Think About Your Manicure Habits]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/14-insider-secrets-nail-techs-wont-tell-you-what-they-really-think-about-your-manicure-habits</link> <guid>14-insider-secrets-nail-techs-wont-tell-you-what-they-really-think-about-your-manicure-habits</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 07 Mar 2026 19:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Getting a manicure is a service many book regularly, but there's a hidden price to nice nails that customers often overlook. It's a physically taxing job and a creative art requiring savvy entrepreneurship and skill. On TikTok, nail technicians have cleared up misconceptions and shared their hard boundaries with clients under hashtags like #5things. To help you understand what being a nail tech is **really** like, we've gathered insights from professionals on what they won't do after working in the industry. ## 1. I won't constantly check my hands in the middle of an appointment. "I would not keep pulling my hand away to look at what my nail tech is doing. I've had this happen to me multiple times, and it's super stressful! You begin to think about whether or not they're satisfied with what you're doing, and it also interrupts the whole process, causing the appointment to take longer. Please trust your nail technicians." — *Aleanie Molina, an Everett, Washington-based nail technician* ## 2. I won't stop wearing a mask. Carmella Laporta, a New York-based nail technician, recounted in a TikTok video that one of the top things she would never do after working in her profession is not wear a mask, regardless of whether she's the client or the nail tech. "Even before COVID, the nail dust is really bad for you, and I notice [that] when I don't wear a mask, I get really bad chest pains at the end of the day," Laporta said. ## 3. I won't ruin my body doing someone else's nails. Lynette Chanel, a Columbus, Ohio-based nail technician, shared in a TikTok that she will not "ruin my body doing some nails," and for her that means kindly instructing clients to relax their hands into the right position instead of trying to work around a client's posture. "They gotta sit here for two hours, we've gotta sit here for 10-plus years. And nail techs don't even be having health insurance like that," Chanel said in her video. In a conversation with HuffPost, she elaborated on what constitutes the wrong hand positioning. "A lot of people are more tense than they realize and they kind of flare their fingers out and spread them out or even hyperextend them up. Which means as a nail tech, we're trying to constantly bend you back down. Just relax and chill," she said. ## 4. I won't be on my phone all the time. "I wouldn't use my phone during a manicure. When getting a manicure, the nail tech's worst nightmare is someone using their phone during the manicure process. Picking up your phone whilst getting a manicure is a big no-no. "We cleanse your hands and the nails for the polish/gel polish application by prepping the nail plates to be free of dust, lint and oil. When you use your hands to touch your phone or even anything on the nail desk, you have now made it harder for the tech to properly do the service. This is how smudges, lint, dust happen. Let's leave the phone alone until after the service is done." — *Christa Cole, a Pasadena, California-based nail technician* ## 5. I won't rebook someone who ghosted. "Ghosting refers to someone who no-shows an appointment and doesn't bother to call or respond to messages. If that happens, you can be sure that the credit card I have on file for them will be charged the full amount of the service, and they are permanently blocked from rebooking. "This kind of disrespect has run rampant in our industry, due to the 'walk-in' culture of low-quality salons. Nail artists that take our job seriously work by appointment only. If the client doesn't show, we don't make money. That's just not fair." — *Dylan Pritchard, a Las Vegas-based nail technician* ## 6. I won't excessively cut cuticles. "We can cut as many cuticles as clients wish but there is [a difference between] your own skin and dead skin. Excessive cutting can cause bleeding or weaken your own cuticles." — *Amy Ling Lin, New York City-based founder of Sundays Nail Studio* ## 7. I won't fix someone else's work. "With the over-saturation of our industry, quality assurance is very hard to come by. Most new clients that come into my space can't even tell you what kind of manicures they've been getting due to the apathy of past nail techs. I can't guarantee my quality of work if I'm filling or fixing someone else's work." — *Pritchard*  ## 8. I won't do the same designs other artists have done. "I've been working as a nail artist for about seven years now. I love to talk with my clients and create designs together. Sometimes a cute design, a trendy design, might not match the client's style; my goal is to make their nails match their personality. "In these cases, I use my own creativity to propose different colors and designs or add something — for example, like stones, metallic, chrome, anything! — to the client." — *Miki Higuchi, New York City-based nail technician* ## 9. I won't shave my legs before a pedicure. Rachel Robertson, the owner and manicurist at The Shimmer Room in Edgewater, Florida, said in a TikTok video that the things she won't do after working as a nail technician include shaving her legs right before a pedicure. "Shaving causes microscopic tears in your skin. The products you are using in your treatment can irritate that further," Robertson explained in her TikTok. "And also, it's just leaving you open to possible infection. Not a good idea, and your nail tech does not care if your legs are hairy, I promise." "I always tell people to wait at least 24 hours after shaving," Robertson told HuffPost. ## 10. I won't overlook hygienic standards. "One red flag I would look out for is if your nail technician is reusing implements from other clients. This is a huge health hazard that unfortunately gets overlooked a lot by salons. There could be blood from other clients on those implements, fungi and bacteria in general and someone could get infected. They will reuse dirty files, buffers, cuticle nippers, even foot paddles. If their station or tools don't look clean, leave immediately!" — *Molina* ## 11. I won't spend 20 minutes picking a nail color. "While we do understand it is important to choose the color that you love, [I've had experiences where] it sometimes took longer than 15 minutes, [so] we had to change the soaking water as it was already cold and we started worrying about the next appointment. That's why at Sundays Studio, we only created 55 timeless colors and it doesn't overwhelm clients." — *Lin* ## 12. I won't be late to an appointment. "We can not only be late for our other clients, but our lunch breaks, or even what time we end up leaving the salon, or if the nail tech has kids or other engagements. You being late can drastically change [our] entire day. "And for the nail techs, I would say have a policy to protect you from that. Your mental health can be damaged if you're dragging at work or if you don't like your work anymore because you can never get a lunch on time, or you can never leave on time. Definitely get some type of late policy." — *Chanel* ## 13. I won't negotiate the price with a nail tech. "I'm a solo operator and have a private suite; I have a set price list that is subject to price changes. This pricing is based on the quality of service as well as my expertise. As a nail tech, we spend money on continuing education to learn new trends and how to work properly with companies' products. "Having a client come in and try to haggle the price can feel triggering at times. We understand that certain clients aren't for us and that they are used to a certain quality of service for a cheaper price, but haggling with a tech who has invested so much money and time into their craft can make them feel like they're unworthy." — *Cole* ## 14. I won't give someone a hard time for charging what they are worth. "I would never get my nails done knowing it's out of my budget. If I want a certain design, such as ombre or glitter nails, it is going to cost more than your simple one color set of nails. "I've had some clients that complained to me about pricing for a certain design when designs are completely optional. Getting your nails done is definitely a luxury service and [is] not necessary at all. If you can't pay for them, please don't give your nail technician a hard time for charging their worth." — *Molina* *The original version of this story was published on HuffPost at an earlier date.*]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>nailtech</category> <category>manicure</category> <category>beauty</category> <category>etiquette</category> <category>business</category> <enclosure url="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/636963c5230000610016fad1.jpeg?cache=Bme7NeatHb&ops=1200_630" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
