Kitchen Project #69: Trifle showdown
Every day I'm trifling
Welcome to today’s edition of Kitchen Projects. As we head in to bank holiday jubilee extravaganza, I’m thrilled to be diving into one of most joy inducing desserts of all time - the trifle! In today’s newsletter we’ll talk about how to use the same ingredients to create new dessert concepts.
Over on KP+, to celebrate strawberry season, I’ve asked Jam Goddess (actual title) Camilla Wynne to share her classic Strawberry Jam recipe which we’ll be using in our final trifle. We’re so lucky to have access to amazing strawberries (pound a punnet szn is coming) so having a foolproof recipe is essential.

The most jubilant trifle
As this year rattles on with reckless abandon, I woke up this week and realised that I almost ran head first into the jubilee weekend without even stopping to take a moment. I shamefully didn’t even notice the first strawberries of summer arriving. Perhaps you’d think by now I’d have organised the process of writing this newsletter a little better, planning ahead and the like, but I sat up like a shot on Tuesday morning and could only think of one thing: Trifle.
And so today’s newsletter was born, a conceptual adventure into the world of trifles. I knew I wanted to share a super fun, slightly camp & 70s recipe for next week’s bank holiday weekend and jubilee madness, but wanted to try and push the limits of the dessert, breaking it down and re-building it in new - and perhaps unexpected - ways.
This brings me to my existential question of what makes trifle. Trifle? Is it the assemblage of ingredients, or is it an ever evolving dessert? And what came first, the dessert or the word?
I think ‘trifle’ is tragically underused in day-to-day life. It’s definition, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is “a thing of little value or importance.” As a word, it’s quite difficult to use in a sentence, though really evocative and funny - suggesting someone should perhaps “not to be trifled with” feels equal parts jolly and sinister. The etymology of the Middle English word ‘trifle’ comes from the French ‘trufe’ or ‘trufle’ which means ‘by form of deceit’, though may have also been used to mean ‘something of little importance’.
Though I can’t find any legitimate sources to back me up, my best guess is that it came to be known as ‘trifle’ since it related to ‘fools’, another creamy fruity dessert with a slightly demeaning name. The trifle, named as we know it now, first appeared in an 1585 cookbook ‘The Good Huswives Jewell’ as a creamy dessert flavoured with rose water and ginger and the names trifle and fool were used interchangeably. It was not until Hannah Glasse’s ‘The Art of Cookery’ that jelly was introduced in the 18th century, and in the 19th century, jelly within trifle was written into culture by poet Oliver Wendell Holmes who said “That most wonderful object of domestic art called trifle…with its charming confusion of cream and cake and almonds and jam and jelly and wine and cinnamon and froth.”
The trifle has inspired desserts around the world - the Italian ‘Zuppa Inglese’ or ‘English Soup’ has a base of sponge and custard, but it lives in its most luxurious form here in the UK. Although it comes in many forms (as we’ll explore today) I think we can agree on the key ingredients: Cake, jelly, custard and cream.
Whilst I’m most used to seeing trifles built in glass bowls, I thought it might be fun to spend some time working on free-form trifles (my DJ name) and finding a new take on this absolute classic. Before I started messing around with the presentation, I needed to nail each element. Let’s run through them.
For the cake, a light sponge is essential - it needs to be dry (in a nice way) and bouncy, able to play nicely with the other ingredients. I wanted to use my classic genoise, but needed to adapt it to make it flexible and bendy enough to be used in different shapes and applications for my conceptual trifles. When a cake bakes, the structure is set as the eggs coagulate and the starch hardens, setting in place around the airpockets. To increase the flexibility, I took inspiration from the chiffon cake, separating some of the whites and reincoporating as a meringue to maximise the air in the sponge, and reduced the flour to keep things as supple as possible. Taking inspiration from many swiss roll recipes which use fatless sponges, I removed the fat completely. This increases the lightness and bendability of the sponge since there are no big fat molecules interrupting the egg foam structure - fat also hardens as it cools, so isn’t the best for promoting flexibility. As we have done with the genoise, I will use a mixture of plain flour and cornflour to replicate the ultra low protein flours for extra tender cake layers.
Having a great strawberry jam recipe up your sleeve is essential for summer and very helpful for building desserts, including trifle. Whilst it may not be a clear standalone flavour for a trifle, think of it as the cement holding it together. It provides an important service in many of the concepts below, acting as a preventative measure for OTT jelly absorption and adding flavour. It’s also used to build trifles that use swirly swiss rolls as a base. Of course you could use a high quality shop bought jam, I’m handing over the reigns to the jam goddess Camilla Wynne, author of Jam Bake, for her classic Strawberry Jam recipe on KP+.

The creamy bit
Custard and cream - two separate elements that, in some cases, can be combined though a ‘true’ trifle will always have a cream topping, I think. For the custard, a classic creme pat base is a great place to start. From here, you can begin to play with the add-ins depending on what structural role the custard needs to play.
Creme patisserie - Classic pastry cream - thick and lush but not very stable - would squish out of cakes etc if not supported
Creme legere - Pastry cream + whipped cream - lightened but not really able to support weight very well - works as a filling piped inside things but again, can be squashed easily
Creme diplomat - Pastry cream + whipped cream + gelatine - much more stable thanks to gelatine, can be piped and hold its own
Creme chiboust - Pastry cream + italian meringue - very light and sweet in taste, fairly stable at room temperature
Creme mousseline - Pastry cream + butter - rich! the most stable due to the butter but still has a pleasing mouthfeel, but is very cold when firm
Creme madame - Pastry cream + butter + whipped cream - Stable thanks to the butter but a lighter mouth feel from the cream - can be a bit temperamental
One of the key choices you get to make with creme pat is what sort of eggs you use - whole or yolks only. To be honest, almost all of the thickening power comes from the cornstarch, so you can dial up or down the richness. Creme pat made with whole eggs will have a lighter colour and less rich flavour.
The jelly, to me, is the heart of the trifle. It’s the defining feature really - we’ve got so many desserts that combine fruit, cake and custard that it’s important to make jelly the star. I have developed today’s classic strawberry recipe using fresh strawberries, which at the time of writing are the same price as frozen ones. I have also used Dr Oetker gelatine as it is most widely available. For veggie friendly, I have had good results following the instructions on the back of the vege-gel packet, and for agar agar I am confident in the approximate 0.75% agar to liquid weight (as demo’d in this recipe which looks quite reliable!), though I would suggest mixing up a small batch and purchasing a microscale. I’m also not against using packet jelly to make this recipe - yes it’s nice to make your own, but I mixed up a batch of the Hartleys strawberry jelly and it felt nostalgic in its artificial taste. You can also get great vegan jelly mixes like this one which would cut out some of the work.
For my final ratio, I needed a jelly that was strong enough to hold its shape but also could provide structure for suspending fruit. Although the back of the packet suggests 4 leaves per pint (approx 1 per 142ml), but I think 1 leaf per 100ml is more sensible. Here’s what we are considering when balancing our gelatine recipes:
Firstly: ENZYME ACTION! Since gelatine is a protein (and it’s gelling capabilities are a result of proteins forming new bonds with other substances), any fruit that contains the ‘protease’ enzyme will wreak havoc with your panna cotta. These fruits include kiwi, pineapple, figs and papaya. Ginger is also a tricky area. Fortunately for us, strawberry does NOT contain protease so we don’t need to find a workaround for that.
Secondly, you need to consider acidity, as it can interfere with gelatine’s gelling ability as it can denature the protein involved with the setting. Strawberry is approximately 3.5 on the pH scale and has mild concentration of acid
Thirdly, sweetness. All fruits have their own level of sweetness and you need to adapt the sugar accordingly. However, this needs to be done carefully. Sugar can actually bolster gelatine and make your mix set-up even firmer. I err on the sweeter side for the strawberry jelly, though you could reduce it slightly to taste
To make a perfectly clear jelly, we want to extract the juice from the strawberries but we don’t want the fibre so we’ll pass it through a fine sieve a few times. I made the mistake of boiling up my strawberries then hand blending them - this created a beautiful thick puree that made a cloudy, chunky jelly. Lovely, but not for today’s recipe.
Temperature management of jelly is the key to success here. Too wet and the liquid jelly will absorb entirely into the sponge. It’s nice to have a bit of absorption, but we don’t want the cake to be structurally useless. Too firm is a problem too, if the jelly won’t fill gaps between the fruit. It’s also worth noting that demouding jelly can be one of the most stressful things ever but to try to relax whilst doing it - I swear jelly can smell fear/stress! Just make sure you take the demoulding process slowly and grease your tin with an oil spray if you’ve got one. I’ll be with you every step of the way.
To booze or not to booze?
The boozy bit - I actually don’t like boozy desserts that much but you could easily incorporate a boozy soak into any of the trifles below by simply brushing the cake with booze or a sugar syrup spiked with booze (boil 1:1 sugar and water then add booze to taste), depending on your mood.
So, those are my elements with tried and tested base recipes - the real fun is how to put them together! With the jubilee being a glorious four day weekend extravaganza, I think it’s the perfect time for a retro and quirky pudding. Let’s dive into the tests.
Trifle 1 aka wraparound pocket trifle
This was the first concept I wanted to try - I was inspired to try it after flicking past the cake wrapped chocolate mousse in Rose Levy Berenbaum’s Baking Bible. I immediately thought how this could work for trifle - sheets of sponge wrapped around a layer of jelly and custard. This was surprisingly easy to do with our newly bendy cake and it was nice to use the classic creme pat - I didn’t have to worry about the stability of the custard since the cake provided support. To be honest, I rushed this custard a bit and it was slightly grainy, but ultimately it worked and was quite fun to eat.
Trifle 2 aka SURPRISE! The inside out trifle
As I was putting together Trifle 1, I was inspired to see if could flip it further and ‘wrap’ the jelly around the cake. This was really fun and the chaotic kitschiness of it can’t really be beaten. For this trifle, I favoured stability over long chilling periods so I first chose to use the structurally effective creme mousseline. Creme pat doesn’t freeze very well - the starch breaks down - but mousseline can maintain its texture, allowing us to build this cake with some assurance it will be structurally sound. And it WAS sound - too sound - the filling was very firm. After umming and ahhing, I decided to remake using creme legere - it is a bit harder to work with but the final result is much better, since the firm mousseline can be a little bit jarring with the soft jelly. I also learnt the hard way that raspberries are much more suited to suspending in jelly - strawberries are too hard and chunky and fall out of the jelly. Even though you can see them in my pics, I recommend raspberries.
The jelly needs to be built carefully in stages. Warning, there is a level of maths to this trifle in order to calculate the amount of jelly needed and the size of cake to build, but this does mean you can make any size you like! I tried it in both my loaf tin and my rackmaster pullman tin. In my original test, I simply built the cake in a smaller loaf tin (6.5ish inch x 2.5ish inch) but I realised most people won’t have two russian doll nesting loaf tins, so decided to go free-form.
Due to the pure entertainment value that suspending a cake in jelly brings - it just feels jubilee-y - I’ll be sharing this recipe below and show you how to make it scalable for whatever tin you have on hand.
Trifle 3 aka the upright
This version is most structurally very similar to the classic trifle except it stands up on it’s own, so it is a feat of engineering in itself. Rather than the traditional layering, I used the vertical layering technique for the cake - this is when you bake sheets of cake and spread with filling, then roll up in strips to create a spiral of cake that has a vertical cut through. It’s visually very attractive but also very sturdy. I built my spiral cake in a loose bottomed cake tin with an acetate collar which I then filled up with jelly to create a 1 inch thick layer. I finished by piping blobs of cream and chilled before slicing. This trifle has a nice interplay of the expected and unexpected and would make a really fun birthday cake.
Trifle 4 aka Trifle Eleganza
If a trifle was originally meant to use up scraps, this is the total opposite and elevates the trash-trifle to something truly beautiful. Inspired by classic opera cakes, and the beautiful sheet cakes of Hannah Ziskin, I layered up the elements to create a perfect slice of trifle joy. I was also inspired by my friend Reu, who is making a beautiful cake for their brother’s wedding next week - they sent me some inspo pics of sheet cakes with lovely piping on top (From Keller Konditor) so I was totally inspired by that. Thanks Reu!
Since this would be chilling overnight and have a lot of time to set up, I went for a creme legere for my custard layer which I was really happy with. I used around 300g of custard, though I’d probably increase this. As well as this, I accidentally made two different thickness layers of the cake, though this ended up working really nicely - the two thinner layers sandwiching a slightly thicker layer of cake in the middle.
Since the cake doesn’t need to be bendy, I’ll probably use more of a classic genoise since I don’t need to worry about flexibility, and the fluffiness of genoise would probably work well. I also used a sugar syrup for this one. This was unbelievably satisfying to make and cut - it requires building in a few stages and a few rounds of chilling and you need a bit of patience and a ruler to make it really beautiful. I’ll be sharing the how-to on KP+ mid next week so subscribe now to get it direct to your inbox.
Okay let’s make it!
Inside out trifle
Notes on tins
There is a fair amount of faff required for this recipe but it IS worth it.
We’ve all got different size loaf tins, so I’ve formulated this recipe to fit my medium tin but I’ve explained below how to scale it up and down and you may need to adapt the measurements to work for you. The fatless sponge recipe makes one trays worth (mine are standard UK 30cm x 40cm / 11 inch x 15 inch) and you can keep the leftovers for other baking projects.
If you are using the rackmaster tins that I used for shokupan, you will need to times the jelly and custard recipe by around 1.5. You will also need to wrap the tin with cling film as it isn’t water tight (nightmare for jelly!)
First - the maths! We need to calculate the size of the cake to fit inside the jelly based on your tin
Pick whatever tin you are going to use and measure the dimensions. For example, my tin is approximately 7.5 (l) inches x 3.25 (w) inches at the base, but it gets wider at the top and is around 8.25 (l) inches x 4 (w) inches. The depth is 2.5 inches. I’ll use 7.75 (l) x 3.75 (w) x 2.5 (h) for my calculations
Use this website to calculate the volume. Using the measurements above, my tin can hold approx 1198ml. You can also fill your tin with water then measure how much it holds by pouring into a measuring jug. You do you.
Work out the ideal dimensions of your cake to fit inside the jelly with an approx 0.25 - 0.5ish inch border at the sides / bottom (larger at sides, smaller at bottom). For my tin, I use the smaller base dimensions to figure this out. this means my cake should be approx 6.5 (l) x 2.5 (w) x 2 (h) inches tall
Length = 7.5 - 0.5 (front space) - 0.5 (back space) = 6.5 inches
Width = 3.75 - 0.5 (left space) - 0.5 (right space) = 2.55 inches
Height = 2.5 - 0.25 (for top + bottom) = 2.0 inches (though 1.75 is better)
Use the website from before to calculate the volume. According to my measurements, it is approx 532ml
Now minus your cake volume from the tin volume. For my tin, this is 1198ml - 543ml = 655ml. Bearing in mind that I will be adding fruit to the jelly which will take up some volume, I will make 700ml jelly to comfortably encase my cake at the sizes above. If you have any extra jelly left over, just set it in a cup and enjoy. It is always an option to make a larger cake and thus will need less jelly, or use more fruit and then you would need less jelly
Strawberry and raspberry jelly ingredients - makes 700ml
150-175g sugar depending on how flavourful the strawberries are
60g lemon juice
Plus extra water/ice (amount tbc, you’ll see in the method)
7 leaves of gelatin. I used Dr Oetker platinum (we want 1 leaf per 100ml)
Fluffy fatless sponge
4 whole eggs
Measure 2 whole eggs + 2 yolks into one bowl, keep the other 2 whites aside. Whites should measure at least 30g each
120g caster sugar split into 90g / 30g
40g plain flour
165g whole milk
½ vanilla pod, scraped
40g caster sugar
30g whole egg or 30g egg yolks, for a more custardy colour
140g double cream, whipped
Strawberry jam - make your own with the best recipe by Camilla Wynne here
Around 75g raspberries cut in half to suspend in the jelly. Strawberries are too heavy and tend to fall out/are hard to slice neatly later when in jelly, so I would use Rasps for best effect. I learnt this the hard way!
OPTIONAL: Brandy/Sherry to soak sponges
Cream to serve
An ice bath is really useful here.
Method - cake
Pre-heat oven to 200c fan
Line a 30cm x 40cm baking tray with a 1inch overhang
Whisk 2 whole eggs plus 2 yolks with 90g sugar until ultra thick and foamy - I do high speed for 3 minutes, medium speed for 3 minutes then low speed for 2 minutes to get the finest texture
Sift the cornflour and flour together several times
Move into a bowl then sift the cornflour/flour mix on top and fold with a ‘D’ motion to combine gently
Clean your mixing bowl and whisk, then whisk the egg whites until frothy then add the sugar and whisk until a stiff meringue
Gently fold in the meringue to your other mixture, trying to retain as much air as possible
Spread evenly in your lined tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes until well baked - if you touch the top, it should not feel fizzy or crackly, it should be firm yet springy
Run a knife around the edge of the tray if needed then move cake straight onto a cooling rack, to help prevent shrinking
Can be made in advance and kept, well wrapped, in the freezer for a month
Method - custard
Heat milk with scraped vanilla pod and half the sugar
Whisk egg/yolks with sugar and cornflour
When almost boiling, pour half the milk on top of the eggs/yolks whilst whisking to temper then pour back into the saucepan, through a sieve to catch any lumps early!
Continue to whisk over a medium heat until thickened and boiling
Whisk in the cold butter and leave to cool completely
Beat the cooled creme pat til smooth. In another bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks then fold through the cool custard
Use immediately or place in the fridge to chill for a few hours before using if it doesn’t feel firm enough to pipe
Assembly - cake
First assemble the cake - measure and cut three 6.5inch x 2.5-2.75 inch rectangles. Keep the rest for future recipes. You can also measure out a piece of paper to the right size and use this as a guide
If using, brush with booze, then spread the cake with jam then pipe creme diplomat to be around 1cm thick. It should be around 1.5-2 inches once you are finished, ideally 1.75. Build up the layers then put into the freezer to chill. Around 30-40 minutes should be good. In the GIF below I forgot the jam, so spread it on the top layer instead
NOTE: If you have a smaller loaf tin that comfortably ‘nests’ inside your jelly tin, you can build your cake in that
Method - jelly
Halve strawberries and add to saucepan with raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and water
Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes or until the strawberries are really soft and pale - they loose all of their colour
Meanwhile, soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes
Pass through a fine sieve - ideally lined with muslin - pressing the strawberries to extract the juice. Save the pulp and enjoy over rice pudding, or yoghurt, or chuck into your strawberry jam recipe
Squeeze the excess water out the gelatin then whisk into the still very hot liquid until totally dissolved
Add cold water/ice cubes to make the jelly up to 700ml
Transfer jug to ice bath and stir regularly to cool down until thickened. If it sets too much, you can spoon a portion of the jelly into a pan and reheat then whisk back in, or simply run the sides of the jug under the hot tap then stir
Assembly - trifle
Prepare your jelly tin - spray with cake spray or a cover with a light coating of oil (dont use butter!). I also like to put a lightly greased piece of greaseproof in the base for insurance
Place cut fruit into the tin and place in the freezer whilst you wait for your jelly to be the right consistency. You don’t want the pieces of fruit to stick up too much, so raspberries are much easier to use on the top layer since they are flatter. By chilling the tin, the jelly will set more quickly
With your jelly at the consistency of runny honey, pour evenly over the fruit. Use a toothpick/chopstick to ascertain how deep it is - this will depend on the size of your tin, but I aim for about 1cm with my loaf tin, around 120g. You don’t want it to be too thick or you won’t have room to put jelly on top. Place in the freezer to firm up for 10 minutes
When the jelly is firm, gently lower your chilled cake onto it. If any cream smooshes on the sides, clean it with kitchen roll. Add a few small pieces of cut fruit in the gap - I would use thin pieces of strawb OR mainly raspberries. If the pieces of fruit are too big they will fall out the side of the jelly / make it hard to cut so watch out! vertical slices are best so when you cut it later the fruit isn’t too disruptive
Now fill in the space around the cake with more thickened - but not set - jelly. Having the jelly at this thick but not set stage is important - this will prevent too much jelly from absorbing into the cake layers and help with definition
If there’s space, add a few cut pieces of fruit on top then finish off with jelly
Leave in the fridge overnight, or at least 3-4 hours, to set completely
To demould, use a warm knife around the edges to release the jelly then place a plate on top then flip over. Make sure the plate is a bit wet, as this allows you to manuvere your jelly around after - otherwise it will just stick! Then shake and wiggle to demould. Alternatively warm a cloth with hot water and use this to warm the edges. If you have a blow torch, you can also use this but that’s usually a bit aggressive. The wiggle is important as it helps dislodge jelly.
To slice, use a very sharp, warm knife otherwise the jelly gets damaged when you cut it. You can also dip the knife in warm water to help get neat slices.

It is so rare for me to get into a show which other people are also currently watching and talking about. I mean...I own the first three seasons of Highway to Heaven on DVD. (The last two are not available on DVD...and when that does happen, I will be very excited.) I loved Ugly Betty (because it was based on my life) and I do think How I Met Your Mother is clever and hilarious and heartwarming (and gives me hope that, one day, I'll meet my Ted Mosby.)
But I've never seen an episode of House, Lost, Grey's Anatomy or any of those Vampire shows people are always talking about.
There are Little House reruns on all the time. And my Highway to Heaven boxed set never lets me down.(I also love to read.)
However, over the past few months, I have become very much involved in the lives of Jess Day, played by the lovely Zooey Deschanel, and her crazy little world.
I think New Girl is absolutely hilarious.
I just find this show really, really funny...maybe it's because it realistically portrays our age group. Nobody's really acting too much like a grown-up. And I hate to say this, because I know ALL girls who watch this show is saying this...but I definitely relate to Jess! She's okay being a little (very) goofy and weird and she makes no apologies for it. It's how she is. And good for her!
I have also grown very fond of the friendship between Jess and her roommate, Nick (played by the adorable and "Wow, this guy has some unbelievable facial expressions!" Jake M. Johnson). (And, unlike everybody else who watches this show apparently feels, don't really think that they should end-up together...I really want to just see them become better friends. Maybe she can even end-up with his brother or something.) I have a male friend in my life who has seen me at and through my absolute worse and I also feel he views me in that similar, "GOSH, you are very naive and innocent and backwards...you really need a supportive guy in your life who is looking-out for you"...which is so Nick and Jess' friendship. I think male friends like that are very, very important to have in this world for a girl like Jess. There's a lot of bad stuff out there! And bad guys! It's good to have one you can always count-on no matter what. It makes a girl feel a lot safer.
The dynamic between the four roommates and Jess' best girl friend is all very funny and oddly believable. I would also love to have Jess' closet.
And, because everything can be related back to Highway to Heaven, on one particularly funny episode of New Girl, I immediately recognized the creepy landlord as a guest star on that show...he played a young man named Julian whose face was disfigured and then he falls in love with a blind girl who gets her sight back. The actor's name is Jeff Kober and the fact that I was able to recognize him, despite about 25 years have gone by and his face was disguised back then, probably speaks volumes about what a powerful actor he is! (Or I just watched that episode of Highway to Heaven way too many times................)
I think this show is great...hope it runs for at least three years.

UPDATE: Nicki Minaj Responds To Rumors Blac Chyna Featured In “Megatron” Video
UPDATE: Nicki Minaj has responded to the rumors that Blac Chyna will be making an appearance in her upcoming “Megatron” video.
Minaj shut down the rumors with a post on social media that read:
“Chyna isn’t in the #MEGATRON video, she was just showing love, which I greatly appreciate. Congrats on the new show MAMA! I might have her on as a guest on #QUEENRADIO this Friday”
As Nicki Minaj gears up for the upcoming release of her new song and video, “Megatron,” new details are continuously being released. The latest involves Blac Chyna, who teased her participation in the project with a photo on Instagram.
After being MIA for over a month resulting in fans putting out a missing person alert on her whereabouts, last week Nicki Minaj finally calmed their fears when she returned to social media with the announcement of a new song. “Megatron” is set to drop pretty soon—and that means the teasing and anticipation is at an all-time high for her devoted Barbz.
Minaj has dropped a few still images from the upcoming video in addition to a behind the scenes sneak peek, but it’s Blac Chyna recent Instagram post that has many fans speculating what her involvement will be.
Chyna posted a simple photo of herself seemingly on a video shoot with a caption that simply read “MEGATRON.”
The video for “Megatron” is set to be released on Friday, June 21st, which is also when the latest episode of Minaj’s Queen Radio is scheduled to air.
What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj and Blac Chyna’s collaboration? Let us know in the comments!

CANCELED - Viola Recital - Part II - Brahms & the viola
Rolston String Quartet, Miguel da Silva
& Jonathan Fournel
Rolston String Quartet
Miguel da Silva, viola
Jonathan Fournel, piano
J. Brahms: String Quintet No. 2, in G major, op. 111
J. Brahms: Sonata No. 2, in E-flat major, for viola &
piano, op. 120, No. 2
J. Brahms: Piano Quintet, in f minor, op. 34
Brahms only began composing a string quintet for two violas in 1882 and eight years later – after the completion of his string quintet no. 2, op.111, also for two violas – he left his professional activities as a composer. However, that farewell will not last long.
After listening to clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld, a new creative fever takes hold of him, and he creates a quintet, a trio and two sonatas for clarinet. The two sonatas for clarinet, composed in 1894, are quickly arranged for viola and piano. Since the two instruments have different sound priorities, Brahms works on an almost complete reworking of the work in order to emphasize the viola’s inherent qualities.

The City of Ely is working with local, state and federal partners to keep our community informed about COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. Prevention of COVID-19 is the same as that for other respiratory illnesses (like flu). These actions don’t just protect you. They help keep our whole community safe, especially our most vulnerable residents, by slowing the spread of the disease.
Remember that you can practice social distancing and access many city resources online or by phone
We’ll work to keep this page up-to-date with resources as more information and resources become available.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a respiratory disease which has now spread to the United States.
It is mild for most people, but can cause severe illness and result in death for some. Older adults and people with chronic medical conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes, have the greatest risk of becoming severely ill.
There is no vaccine and no medications approved to treat COVID-19 at this time.
How it spreads
COVID-19 spreads from person to person, mainly through coughs and sneezes of infected people or between people who are in close contact.
Take precautionary measures
According to Iowa Department of Public Health, there are no special precautions currently being recommended for Iowans beyond the simple daily precautions to combat the flu, including:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

- The Center for Disease Control has a dedicated summary of the virus, including symptoms, risk assessment, and preventative measures.
Make a Plan
It is important for residents to prepare for the potential of COVID-19 in the same way they prepare for severe weather or other events that could disrupt their normal routine.
Make a plan and discuss it with your family. What would you do if you could not go to work or school because of illness? What if your daycare provider was ill? How would you get groceries if you were ill? These are all questions to consider.
It is normal to be concerned about a new virus.
Being uncertain and anxious about COVID-19 is normal, especially with reports of illness and death in other countries.

Boost Senior Living Staff Retention with Communication and Engagement Software
As an administrator or activity director at an assisted living community, you know how important it is to have a stable and engaged staff. However, staff retention can be a significant challenge in the senior living industry. High turnover rates can lead to decreased continuity of care and lower resident satisfaction, which in turn can negatively impact the overall culture and morale of your community. The good news is that senior living communication software such as Quiltt can help improve staff retention in senior living communities. In this article, we will explore six ways that engagement and communication software like Quiltt can help increase staff retention in your senior living community.
Challenges of Staff Retention in Senior Living Communities
Before we dive into the ways that software can help address staff retention challenges, it's important to understand the challenges that senior living communities face in retaining staff. These challenges include low wages, limited opportunities for career advancement, high burnout rates, and a lack of work-life balance. According to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care, the average annual turnover rate for assisted living communities is around 42%. This high turnover rate not only leads to increased costs associated with recruiting and training new staff but also impacts the overall quality of care provided to residents.
How Software Can Address Staff Retention Challenges
Engagement and communication software like Quiltt, while normally thought of as a benefit for residents and families, can help address staff retention challenges in senior living communities in a number of ways.
1. Feedback and Recognition
Effective communication is key to staff engagement and retention. Communication and engagement software can help facilitate feedback and recognition programs that help staff members feel valued and appreciated. For example, some software platforms allow staff members to give and receive feedback from their peers and supervisors. Recognition programs can also be implemented, where staff members can be recognized for their accomplishments or for going above and beyond in their work. This type of positive reinforcement can help increase job satisfaction and encourage staff members to stay with the organization.
2. Training and Professional Development
Professional development opportunities are a crucial factor in staff retention. Communication and engagement software can be used to facilitate ongoing training and education for staff members. Some software platforms offer modules that cover topics such as dementia care or customer service, while others provide tools for tracking progress and completion of training modules. By providing ongoing training and education opportunities, senior living communities can help staff members feel invested in their work and encourage them to stay with the organization.
3. Community Building and Collaboration
Social interaction and community building are important factors in staff engagement and retention. Communication and engagement software can be used to foster social interaction and collaboration among staff members. For example, some software platforms offer forums or message boards where staff members can share ideas, ask questions, and collaborate on projects. This type of social interaction can help create a sense of community among staff members and encourage them to stay with the organization.
4. Health and Wellness Programs
Staff members who are healthy and well-supported are more likely to stay with an organization over the long term. Communication and engagement software can be used to promote health and wellness programs for staff members. For example, some software platforms offer modules on topics such as stress management, exercise, and nutrition. By promoting healthy habits and providing support for staff members, senior living communities can help improve staff retention.
5. Enhanced Communication
Clear and open communication is key to a positive work environment, and this is especially true in senior living communities. Some communication platforms allow staff to communicate with each other and with management in real-time. This can help improve teamwork and collaboration, which in turn can improve staff satisfaction and retention. By providing a centralized platform for communication, engagement and communication software can also help reduce the number of emails and phone calls that staff receive, which can help reduce stress and increase productivity.
6. Employee Engagement Tools
Engaged employees are more likely to stay with an organization over the long term. Employee engagement tools can help increase engagement among staff members by providing opportunities for recognition, feedback, and career development. For example, staff recognition features allow staff members to recognize their colleagues for their hard work and achievements. This can help create a positive work environment and foster a sense of community among staff members. Career development tools can also help staff members identify opportunities for growth within the organization, which can help increase job satisfaction and retention.
The Benefits of Retaining Staff in Senior Living Communities
Improving staff retention can have a number of benefits for senior living communities. These benefits include:
1. Increased Resident Satisfaction
High staff turnover rates can lead to decreased continuity of care, which in turn can negatively impact resident satisfaction. By retaining staff, senior living communities can provide residents with consistent and high-quality care, which can lead to increased resident satisfaction.
2. Cost Savings
Recruiting and training new staff members can be expensive. By retaining staff, senior living communities can save money on recruitment and training costs, which can help improve the bottom line.
3. Positive Culture and Morale
A stable and engaged staff can help create a positive work environment, which can improve overall culture and morale in a senior living community. When staff members feel valued and supported, they are more likely to be motivated to do their best work and to stay with the organization over the long term. This can help create a positive cycle of retention, as engaged staff members are more likely to recommend their workplace to others and to contribute positively to the overall culture of the community.
How Quiltt Can Help Improve Staff Retention
Now that we've discussed the ways in which software tools can address staff retention challenges in senior living communities and the benefits of retaining staff, let's take a closer look at how Quiltt specifically can help improve staff retention.
1. Customizable Features
Quiltt's engagement and communication software is highly customizable, allowing senior living communities to tailor the platform to their specific needs. This means that you can use Quiltt to address the specific challenges that your community faces when it comes to staff retention. For example, you may want to use Quiltt to create a recognition program that rewards staff members for going above and beyond in their work.
2. User-Friendly Interface
Quiltt's platform is designed to be easy to use and intuitive, even for staff members who may not be tech-savvy. This means that you can quickly onboard staff members onto the platform and get them up to speed on its features. By providing a user-friendly interface, Quiltt can help reduce the time and resources needed to train new staff members, which can help improve retention.
3. Real-Time Communication
Quiltt's communication platform allows staff members to communicate with each other and with management in real-time. This can help reduce the likelihood of miscommunications and misunderstandings, which can lead to a more harmonious work environment. By providing a centralized platform for communication, Quiltt can also help reduce the number of emails and phone calls that staff receive, which can help reduce stress and increase productivity.
4. Employee Surveys
Quiltt's employee survey tools allow senior living communities to gather feedback from staff members on a regular basis. By gathering feedback on topics such as job satisfaction, work-life balance, and overall engagement, senior living communities can identify areas for improvement and take proactive steps to address any issues. By involving staff members in the process of identifying and addressing challenges, they are more likely to feel valued and engaged in their work, which can improve staff retention.
5. Mobile App
Quiltt's mobile app allows staff members to access important information and tools from anywhere, at any time. This can help improve communication and collaboration among staff members, even when they are not physically present in the community. By providing a mobile app that is easy to use and accessible, staff members are more likely to feel supported and engaged in their work, which can improve staff retention.
6. Automated Reminders
Quiltt's automated reminder tools can help ensure that staff members are up-to-date on important tasks and responsibilities. For example, staff members can receive reminders about upcoming training modules or scheduled shifts. By providing automated reminders, senior living communities can help reduce the likelihood of staff members missing important tasks or responsibilities, which can improve productivity and reduce stress. This, in turn, can improve staff retention by creating a positive and supportive work environment.
Improving staff retention in senior living communities is a critical priority for administrators and activity directors. By using engagement and communication software like Quiltt, you can address the specific challenges that your community faces when it comes to staff retention. From scheduling software to employee engagement tools, Quiltt can help create a positive work environment that supports staff members and encourages them to stay with your organization over the long term. By improving staff retention, you can provide residents with consistent and high-quality care, save money on recruitment and training costs, and create a positive culture and morale in your senior living community.

Becker worked as a consultant for IBM while working in her personal time toward Jewish programs.
"She went to Jewish school and came to Chabad all the time," said a friend of Becker to The Algemeiner "She was honored at Lubavitch House at Penn as an alumnus as well, and was a very sweet, happy person."
Rabbi Menachem Schmidt, Executive Director of Lubavitch House at Penn and President of Chabad on Campus told The Algemeiner: "I saw her last week because she used to meet with students for our mentoring event in Manhattan. She always came to Shabbos dinners."

BEST - Building Energy Systems and Technologies
BEST-group’s research focus is on building related energy systems including novel technology development as well as system integration. Our current research spans across thermal energy storage, thermal use of hydrogen, novel cooling technologies and grey water heat recovery in buildings and districts.
Energy storage is one of the key elements in the transformation of our building stock towards a climate neutral future. It allows for integration of intermittent renewable energy sources along with increased operational flexibility of buildings while reducing demand or supply peaks on the electrical grid.
In buildings, besides the need for day/night storage of electricity mostly covered by batteries, there is a demand for long-term energy storage to harvest excess renewable energy available in summertime and to make it available in wintertime. Long-term thermal energy storage is thus key for integration of large amounts of renewable energy in buildings and consequent greenhouse gas emission mitigation and is hence at the core of BEST group’s research.
- Sorption-based long-term thermal energy storage
- Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES)
- Catalytic hydrogen burner/stove development
- Future cooling solutions in buildings
Beyond pure research we also engage in initiatives promoting energy storage for the transition and decarbonisation of our future energy system. Such an initiative at the interfaces of academia, industry and politics is the "Forum Energiespeicher" FESS of the association AEE Suisse. There, Empa is actively contributing in the working group of thermal energy storage.

For the first time, a major health insurer has agreed to pay for a course of treatment aimed at reversing heart disease by way of meditation, exercise and a vegetarian diet, not drugs or surgery.
Mutual of Omaha said Tuesday it would pay for several hundred policyholders to take part.Insurance companies have been criticized for paying for expensive treatments while refusing to cover cheaper preventive steps, such as regular checkups.
"This is the dawn of a new era. It looks beyond illness and injury treatment and looks at addressing the root cause of the disorder," said Dr. Kenneth McDonough, Mutual's medical director.
Dr. Dean Ornish, who developed the program, said Mutual's decision could spur other companies to follow suit.
The program includes three, four-hour sessions per week for 12 weeks. Participants eat a vegetarian diet low in fat and cholesterol, exercise moderately and manage their stress with meditation and other techniques.
The program is followed by a 40-week maintenance program that includes weekly support group meetings.
Mutual, the largest U.S. insurer of individuals, will reimburse policyholders $3,500 for each 12-week treatment. A heart bypass operation costs an average of $43,000.

Five Safety Tips on Walk to School Day
The sight of children walking to school has been a familiar one this week as Walk to School Day was celebrated.
Walking to school is good for your health and better for the environment. Often kids are driven short distances to school. Roads around schools are clogged up with cars and the environment can be more dangerous for other kids and more polluted. Last year, on Walk to School Day, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx posted a video saying walking to school can make you brighter.
This year, more than 4,400 schools took part in walk to school events. Participants included Butts Road Intermediate School and Georgetown Primary in Chesapeake, Tarrallton, Richard Bowling and Mary Calcott elementary schools in Norfolk.
There were events at 16 elementary schools in Newport News. Participants in Portsmouth included Hodges Manor, Victory, James Hunt, Douglas Park and John Tyler elementary schools in Portsmouth.
Many more schools took part in events such as walking school buses in Hampton Roads.
Although these events are great for introducing children to the idea of walking to school, it’s important that walking or cycling becomes a way or life rather than a one-off event.
For more information on walking or cycling to school, see the Safe Routes to School National Partnership or the National Center for Safe Routes to School.
If you are walking or cycling to school, make sure to follow these safety tips. Accidents involving students going to and from school typically spike in the fall when mornings and nights get darker.
Five Safe Routes to School Tips
1 – Look Left and Right
Have a route planned out that minimizes crossing the road. Aim to use crosswalks or the places where there are crossing guards at corners. Don’t cross on a no walking sign at lights. Look left-right-left before crossing the street. Kids should always check for traffic before and in front of and behind them to make sure no cars are turning into the lane.
2 – Don’t be Distracted
Make sure your children don’t use devices when they are walking to school and don’t be distracted and on your phone yourself. Even on the sidewalk, distracted walking can lead to accidents and mean you are not aware of your surroundings. If you are cycling to school, don’t listen to music.
3 Walk With a Friend
Children are safer when they are walking in groups. This is especially the case in neighborhoods with no sidewalks. Drivers are more likely to see a large group of children and give them more space. Children aged 10 or under must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
4 Know Which Side to Walk
If a road has sidewalks on both sides you can walk on either side. If there is a sidewalk on just one side, it is recommended to use the sidewalk for traveling in either direction. If no sidewalks exist on the road, you should walk facing oncoming traffic on the same side of the road as the oncoming traffic.
If you are cycling the law says you should ride in the same direction as traffic and make sure you have lights and use hand signals.
5 Be Visible
Wear light and bright or reflective clothing. This is especially the case if you are cycling in the dark. Carry a flashlight if you are going to be walking in poorly lit areas.
If you are injured in a wreck in a school zone or elsewhere, call us at (757) 455-0077.

I would never, ever vote for Bloomberg - and for a legion of reasons. But two biggies for me are: 1) he's the Big Gulp Gestapo; 2) he says tax the poor so they have less money to waste.
I don't even drink much soda, but I don't need a tyrant telling me I can't have all I want. I believe we should tax the poor, but not because they waste money on items I don't approve of. I believe we should tax the poor so they have some skin in the game. When they're clamoring for politicians to raise taxes, they need to know that means THEY'LL be paying more taxes as well.

New Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer Features Rapunzel From ‘Tangled’ (VIDEO)
The massively anticipated release of Kingdom Hearts 3 is still slowly inching its way toward reality, but the meantime has provided a bevy of tidbits regarding the Disney multiverse title. The next journey of Sora and his friendly crew seems set to tread many familiar worlds as well as introduce plenty of new ones, one such locale consisting of characters and setting of the popular animated film Tangled.
The bright and colorful Disney tale of Rapunzel has featured in small doses among other released footage, but Square Enix has now unveiled an all new trailer giving the Kingdom of Corona its proper due. Originating from the recent Lucca Comics & Games convention in Italy, this new peek stars not only our heroic trio, but several of the characters from Tangled such as Flynn Rider as wells as Rapunzel herself. Check it out below.
Hanging out with the Tangled crew and battling Heartless together looks like an unendingly fun time, but the most lovely touch is the return of actors from the original movie such as Zachary Levi as Flynn and what sounds like Rapunzel’s voice Mandy Moore. The actress was notably absent during initial cast announcements, but it’s entirely possible she wasn’t added until more recently. I mean, if it isn’t her, it’s a pretty spot-on soundalike!
While Tangled takes the spotlight this time around, a number of other exciting worlds are on tap from the Disneyverse; featuring the likes of Toy Story, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Big Hero 6. The Kingdom Hearts 3 crew also find themselves in the monster world of Monsters Inc., the corresponding transformations recently receiving the Funko Pop figure treatment. Kingdom Hearts 3 arrives for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 29th.
What do you think? Are you glad with how fun the Tangled world looks, or is it only second to the game’s Frozen world? It that Mandy Moore in the trailer or not?

The speaker of the state Assembly says fellow Republicans might expand school vouchers statewide regardless of whether they agree to a new school accountability system.
Last month, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he wouldn’t support statewide school vouchers unless the Legislature also passed a school accountability bill. So, when the rank-and-file lawmakers working on school accountability declared it dead, it called the voucher expansion into question.
But, Vos is now softening his stance, saying Republicans might yet reach a deal on both issues or pass the voucher expansion by itself.

“Do I think they’re tied together? I really do in a lot of ways. Is it possible that we could do one without the other? It’s possible,” Vos said. “I don’t want to say it’s an absolute, but I certainly think it would be easier if we had a vigorous school accountability system at the same time that we had a vigorous expansion of school choice.”
Gov. Scott Walker put statewide vouchers and school accountability plans in his budget, meaning final decisions on both issues could be coming in the next few weeks.

Persepolis (2007) dir. Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud
Voices by: Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve, Danielle Darrieux, Simon Abkarian
“Persepolis” is a film more to admire than to be truly entertained by. It's based on Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel about her own experience living in Iran during the 1979 revolution and the cultural identity problems of living in Vienna as a youth. A unique animation style and the unfamiliar political backstory make for a refreshing alternative to Hollywood animation, but the film is surprisingly empty and vacant emotionally.
Iranian youngster Marjane Satrapi and her family are the main characters who are animated in a unique 2-D B&W sharply contrast style. It’s 1978, the U.S.-based Shah of Iran rules, but seeds of a revolution are in place. Marjane is an only child and she was raised by secular intellectuals. And so when the government is replaced by religious fundamentalism of the Ayatollah Khomeni (his name isn’t mentioned for some reason), the Satrapi’s way of life is throw into upheaval.
Marjane is suddenly forced to wear a headscarve and she and all women in society are found to be lower class citizens. From this suppression Marjane develops her sense of independence and cultural revolt. ABBA and Michael Jackson records are traded on the street like drug deals, and Marjane is not afraid to experiment and experience the pop culture of the Western world. Marjane is sent by her parents to study in Vienna where she experiences a new world. Being uprooted though, Marjane losing her sense of home and identity. Her decision to return seems to weigh the lesser of two evils.
The simplicistic animation made up of strict black and white (there's not a speck of grey to be found) rudimentary, undetailed figures is a refreshing contrast to the photo realistic computer animation of Hollywood. The abstractness compliments the intellectual material. Certainly watching the Blu-Ray version is a glorious experience, since sharp lines and deep blacks are always represented best in high definition.
As a political statement and a piece of ideological discourse, it's an inspired creative endeavour, but as an engaging story it's an under-realized piece of cinema. The story feels like a series of vignettes roughly strung together with only the history timeline connecting the dots. There's very few emotional beats making her journey larger than the historical turmoil surrounding Marjane's life.
The DVD features the original French language audio track with English subtitles and an English audio track featuring the voices talents of Gena Rowlands and Sean Penn, who provides an especially lazy reading of his lines. I highly recommend going with the original French track, because without the whimsy of the French language, all poignant humour between the lines is lost.
The international success of "Persepolis" is no surprise, it's originality is more than enough to trump its faults. More films like this will find its way into theatres and DVD shelves. Watch for "Waltz with Bashir" a similar animated memoir, from the point of view of an Israeli soldier - to make a splash later in the year. Enjoy.
"Persepolis" is available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Sony Picture Home Entertainment


At present, there is no cure for Huntington’s disease, but the findings of a new study could bring scientists closer to developing one. Researchers have made a breakthrough in their understanding of a mechanism that influences the age of onset for the disorder.
The research expands on what was previously understood about the role of repeated DNA sequences in Huntington’s disease.
The findings of the study, conducted by scientists from Cardiff University in the UK, are published in the journal Cell.
“Our findings may not be able to help those already affected by Huntington’s disease, but this could prove to be a turning point in how we treat the disease in future generations,” states study author Lesley Jones, a professor of neurogenetics at the Institute of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences.
Huntington’s disease is an inherited degenerative brain disorder that affects movement and cognitive function and can also lead to changes in behavior and personality.
People with the condition inherit a single defective gene. The gene in question, HTT, has a mutation involving a DNA segment known as CAG, comprised of the compounds cytosine, adenine and guanine appearing multiple times in a row.
In most people, the CAG segment is repeated around 10-35 times, but in people carrying the defective HTT gene, the segment is repeated over 36 times. While people with 36-39 CAG repeats may or may not develop Huntington’s disease, people who have 40 or more CAG segment repeats in the HTT gene almost always develop the condition.
“We have known for over 20 years that the number of times a certain sequence of DNA repeats itself plays a part in the age at which the symptoms of Huntington’s disease develop,” states Prof. Jones. “This research goes a step further, and tells us that the way that repeated sequences of DNA are handled by brain cells is likely to be critical in Huntington’s disease.”
The role of DNA repair in Huntington’s disease
For the study, Prof. Jones and colleagues set out to compare the age of onset and the DNA of more than 6,000 patients with Huntington’s disease. In doing so, they discovered that the mechanism controlling the manufacture and repair of DNA could influence the age at which individuals begin to develop the condition.
Fast facts about Huntington’s disease
- Signs and symptoms of Huntington’s disease typically develop when patients are in their 30s or 40s
- Individuals only need to inherit one copy of the defective Huntington gene to develop the disorder
- Adults with Huntington’s disease tend to live for 15-20 years following the first onset of symptoms.
Learn more about Huntington’s disease
Whenever DNA in any cell is repaired, it must be cut so that the incorrect sequence can be removed. The researchers know that the proteins involved with DNA repair lead to CAG segments getting longer in HTT.
Prof. Jones told Medical News Today the team thinks that “DNA repair probably has a role in Huntington’s disease through increasing the likelihood of the DNA near the CAG repeat being cut and needing to be repaired. She then explained why the DNA repair mechanism might influence the age of Huntington’s disease onset:
“When it is repaired the molecular machinery finds it hard to know the correct repeat length and the CAG repeat gets longer. A longer repeat makes cells more likely to die – so the more this happens, the earlier someone is likely to get the disease.”
The researchers believe their findings could lead to further discoveries relating to the development of other diseases inherited through the passing of a single gene, as well as potential ways to treat the currently untreatable Huntington’s disease.
“In understanding the mechanisms by which nature influences the age of onset of this devastating condition, we have identified a target for potential treatments,” Prof. Jones concludes. “If we can develop a way to interfere with these processes, then we could possibly delay or even prevent the onset of the disease.”
Last month, MNT reported on a study that confirmed an activating protein called Rhes plays a pivotal role in Huntington’s disease. This protein could become a drug target in future treatments.

Listen and follow ‘The Run-Up’
Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Amazon Music
On today’s episode: Why this moment in politics will be defined by shifts at the grass-roots level. We talk to conservative voters about the forces animating the midterm elections for them — and what Washington can learn from the people.
What do you think of “The Run-Up” so far? Please take our listener survey at nytimes.com/therunupsurvey.
On today’s episode
Astead Herndon, host of “The Run-Up,” spoke with voters who had participated in New York Times polling, including Belinda Schoendorf, Michael Sprang, William Robertson and Alan Burger.
With less than two weeks to go before the midterms, Republicans are vying for seats in deep-blue states.
Twelve voters in their 20s, all living in swing states, spoke with New York Times photographers about the political issues they deem most important. Here’s what they said.
According to a New York Times/Siena College poll, 71 percent of Republicans said they would be comfortable voting for a candidate who thought the 2020 election was stolen, as did 37 percent of independent voters and a notable 12 percent of Democrats.
“The Run-Up” is hosted by Astead W. Herndon and produced by Elisa Gutierrez and Caitlin O’Keefe. The show is edited by Frannie Carr Toth, Larissa Anderson and Lisa Tobin. Engineering by Corey Schreppel and original music by Dan Powell, Marion Lozano and Elisheba Ittoop. Fact-checking by Caitlin Love.
