Medical students taught meditation techniques to prevent burnout and improve care
October 31, 2013
Doctors commonly tell patients that stress can be harmful to their health. Yet when it comes to reducing their own stress levels, physicians don't always heed their own advice.
Part of the problem, according to researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, is that medical schools don't include meditation and stress-reduction training in their curriculum. However, for the past three years all third-year students at Wake Forest Baptist have been provided guided relaxation and mindfulness meditation training known as Applied Relaxation and Applied Mindfulness (ARAM), thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The training is described in the fall issue of the Annals of Behavioral Science and Medical Education.
Studies estimate that 20 to 60 percent of physicians experience burnout at some time during their careers. This level of distress and strain can have a significant influence on the quality of care that doctors provide. It can also decrease empathy and compassion for patients and increase the likelihood of medical errors, said William McCann, Psy.D., associate professor of family and community medicine at Wake Forest Baptist and lead author of the paper.
"Research has repeatedly shown that mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques can help moderate the influence of stress," McCann said. "In every stress-management program either mindfulness or relaxation is always included to decrease both the mental and physical wear and tear caused by stress."
The goal of the Wake Forest Baptist training was threefold: to help familiarize future doctors with techniques recommended in many medical treatment plans for patients; to reduce stress and prevent professional burnout; and to enhance performance by improving working memory and empathy and by moderating performance anxiety.
The ARAM training was composed of three sessions integrated into the third-year family medicine clerkship. According to McCann, 90 percent of the students found the class beneficial.
"The practice of medicine is a stressful challenge even for our best and brightest students," McCann said. "The rate of burnout among doctors is sobering and every medical school needs to include stress-management training in their curriculums."
Wake Forest Baptist is one of only a few medical schools in the United States to include mindfulness or relaxation training in its curriculum, McCann said.
Funding for the project was provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration grant #D56HP20779.
Co-authors include Gail Marion, PA-C, Ph.D., Stephen Davis, M.A., Sonia Crandall, Ph.D., and Carol Hildebrandt, B.A., of Wake Forest Baptist.

The music video of the platinum selling hit single, “uMlando (Remix)” by Toss, 9umba, and Mdoovar has been released following a launch party at Playground in Braamfontein on Wednesday, 30 March 2022.
The remix is a star-studded affair, with features that include Sino Msolo, Lady Du, Young Stunna, Sir Trill and Slade. The production of the KMANE directed music video was sponsored by Jägermeister.
The success of “uMlando” was borne of one of those rare occurrences where a viral dance challenge lives up to its hype and is successful in launching a new song and artist(s). The entire country’s attention was held after a video of Toss doing the now-famous uMlando challenge went viral in the first quarter of the year on social media.
The dance challenge involved boys vigorously gyrating and shaking their hips side to side, as well as air-humping while topless at any unorthodox site, whether it be on top of a table, in a trolley, on top of a car’s bonnet or in the middle of a tarred road. The more daring, the better.
The viral dance challenge then sparked thousands of videos by fans country-wide, leading up to over 270 million views of the original video by Toss on TikTok and over 112 000 videos created by users attempting the uMlando challenge.
Speaking about the transition the dance made, Toss said, “It’s great to see a dance that started as a social media sensation turn into a whole music video! I definitely had fun rocking with everybody on set.”
To date, the group consisting of Toss, 9umba, and Mdoovar, has achieved the much coveted South African Platinum record status with over “uMlando” amassing in access of 7 500 000 + streams on DSPs.
Whilst on stage receiving their Platinum Plaques from Africori, Mdoovar commented, “uMlando is proof that there is always power in numbers, we are stronger together than apart.” “This video perfectly embodies the energy, fashion and creativity of the most exciting sound coming from the continent. The uMlando video is going to capture the hearts of millions of people in South Africa and around the world. We at Africori are very proud to be associated with such great talents,” said Africori CEO Yoel Kenan.

‘A huge buzz:’ Stock of GSU’s Williams soars into draft weekend
NFL franchises may have finally figured out what Grambling coach Broderick Fobbs has preached about his star player.
After months and months of visits, workouts, interviews, all-star games and on-campus visits from NFL personnel, Chad Williams’ ascension from a free agent to one of the top FCS players in this year’s draft class is nearly complete.
The stock for Grambling’s star receiver is soaring, and maybe even more so than some initially believed.
“We've always said who Chad was, who he is and what he has the ability to do. At some point they have to start believing in us,” Fobbs said Thursday, hours before the 2017 NFL Draft got underway.
For a player who once received the equivalent of a free agent evaluation, or return to school grade by the NFL College Advisory Committee following his junior year, Williams is now looking at a potential day two selection, which would end a long-standing drought among Grambling players in the NFL Draft.
Fobbs told The News-Star how Williams could go as high as the second round, a feat that hasn't occurred at Grambling since 1984.
“We've been told that he can go anywhere from two to four with three probably being the highest percentage, early third at that,” Fobbs said. “We're going to sit and wait and cheer him on from a distant.”
Williams can become the first Grambling player drafted since 2006 when Jason Hatcher went in the third round (No. 92 overall) to the Cowboys.
More: Chad Williams among the 'winners' at Senior Bowl
If Williams does in fact go in the middle of the third round, he would be the highest selected player out of Grambling since 1991 when wide receiver Jake Reed went off the board in the third round (No. 68 overall) to the Vikings.
Williams went on “15 or 16” visits, according to Fobbs, during the pre-draft process, flying all over the country to meet with teams. In addition, NFL personnel, like front office executives, position coaches and even offensive coordinators came to Grambling to meet with GSU staff members to learn more about Williams.
The buzz for Williams started in January when he first played in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in California before earning an invitation to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. The Southwestern Athletic Conference’s top receiver in 2016 performed well in 1-on-1 drills, showcasing his athletic frame.
Then came his pro day, when he ran the 40-yard dash in the 4.3 range.
That’s when calls were made and visits were scheduled.
“I think they quickly understood the mistake they made,” Fobbs said. “If you look at the numbers and you look at what he's accomplished over his career and then you look at the numbers he's accomplished for his individual workouts, that puts him in the top five of all the receivers when it comes to the numbers he's put up and then his size, speed and athleticism and the way he makes plays.
“At the end of the day, this is not a surprise to us.”
Williams, an FCS All-America in 2016, caught 90 passes for 1,337 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2016, including six 100-yard efforts. His career ended with 210 catches, 3,062 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Weighing in at 6-foot and 207 pounds, Williams plays bigger than his numbers due to his basketball background from his high school days at Madison Prep in Baton Rouge.
More: With NFL Draft here, Xavier Woods awaits life-changing moment
New Orleans-based draft analyst Mike Detillier called Williams a “money guy” on third down situations and in the red zone with his ability to catch the ball in traffic.
“His skill set is almost like a basketball player, a big power forward to position himself between the ball and the defender,” Detillier said. “That’s, a lot of times, difficult to coach in a player and he’s not afraid to go over the middle. You got a lot of fast cats, but not all of them are crazy about going over the middle.”
At this point, Williams is just eager to get on a team, in camp and put a playbook in his hands.
Those words, at least externally, seemed like a long shot last year. Fobbs, meanwhile, kept trying to remind everyone of the talent at Grambling, first in 2016 with Chester Rogers, who signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent, and now Williams.
“When they came in here his junior year, I don't think they quite understood the type of young man they were dealing with and the type of athlete he has a chance to be,” Fobbs said. “His performance in big games and against FBS opponents (13 catches for 152 yards against Arizona) and ultimately the Senior Bowl somewhat kind of proved those initial scouts wrong who came in here and basically gave him a free agency grade.”

So far, so good,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Crosse Technology BC1000 Alpha Power Battery Charger (Kitchen)
I received this BC1000 a couple of days ago. I purchased it along with the 16 AA and 8 AAA eneloop batteries, so I guess this review can be used for both the charger and the batteries. The BC1000 arrived with all advertised accessories present. I purchased the BC1000 instead of the predecessor because of the new auto shutoff mechanism when the batteries get too hot while charging. I think I saw pictures on Amazon of a "fried" 9000 model. Being new to rechargeable batteries, I decided to charge the first 4 AA eneloops on the lowest setting (200ma). BC1000 showed a total charge input of 707 mah, 734 mah, 909 mah and 790 mah. I then decided to test each of these four batteries for total capacity. In test mode, the BC1000 charges the batteries to full capacity, discharges them and then fully charges them to get a total charge reading. These four batteries showed a total charge of 1841, 1867, 1932 and 1918 mah. This process of charging to full capacity and then running the test took about 24 hours. The batteries never got hot.
I decided to just run the test cycle of the BC1000 for the next four batteries, since this would fully charge them. I used the setting of 1000ma to charge and the BC1000 automatically defaults to 500ma to discharge the batteries before charging them again. These for batteries showed a charge capacity of 1986, 1977, 1993 and 1998 mah. Slightly higher than when using the lower setting. It should be noted the BC1000 did what it was supposed to do during this test cycle. Right before these 4 batteries reached total capacity, the charger shut off because the temperature was above 127.4 degrees F. My temp gun read 128, so this was verified. I left the batteries in the charger, and it automatically resumed charging once the batteries had cooled.
Charging and testing at 200 ma took forever. Something like 24 hours. A big chunk of time was spent discharging at the default 100 ma. That alone was over 10 hours. Using just the test cycle at 1000/500 ma, it took less than 10 hours. I wish the BC1000 gave a total test time, but it doesn't. It only shows the total time for each function (charge, discharge, charge). As of right now, I'm using a the setting of 700/350 hoping that is a good compromise between time and heat. When I go to just charging and not testing all of these batteries I might even go to 500 ma or 200 ma overnight.
The BC1000 also displays volts. The eneloops came pre-charged with at least 1.30 volts. They are labeled 1.2 volts. I was able to charge them up to between 1.47 and 1.51 volts. I have not used the eneloops in any device other than the charger as of yet.
Note: I'm on my third set of testing 4 AA eneloops. Right out of the package it took 53-60 minutes to charge each one to full capacity. They got hot as well at 700ma. My temp gun read 126 degrees. The charger did not shut off as the limit is 127.4. I'll try the 500ma setting on the next 4 AA's.

And the charger that "fried" itself was a model BC900, wasn't it?

My older charger was a one-hour charger for AA and AAA batteries. I have not been able to find another Ray-o-vac that does that. I bought a BC-700 (about 30 dollars) for myself, and a few months later a second (for about 37 dollars - up to 38 now).
If batteries are charged fast, doesn't that eventually shorten their lives?

Chris in SC says:
The batteries were charged right out of the package. I'd say they had 60-80% charge even though they are claimed to have 80% right out of the package. The only way to truly tell how much capacity each battery holds is to drain and recharge them. This charger can then tell you how much capacity each battery has. This is the test mode on this charger. With this charger you can also choose how fast to charge the batteries. Usually I charge in the lowest mode (overnight), but in some cases, I've needed a fast charge. I charged in the next to fastest setting and had a full charge under 2 hours. But the batteries were very warm. Maybe they can charge in the fastest setting in an hour. Not sure. I wouldn't leave the house in the fastest charging setting. I'm sure the batteries get super hot.

Chris in SC says:
I've seen several comments stating the unit does work. I first tested my eneloops which came pre-charged. When I drained them completely in other devices and went to go charge them, nothing in the La Crosse lit up and it looked like the unit was dead. After about 30-60 minutes the unit would light up and I could see that it was charging. Also, when I first put the La Crosse batteries in the unit nothing would happen. They were completely drained as well. So there has to be a minimum amount of mah in the battery before the the La Crosse unit will light up. This is a design fault to me, but my charger has worked great for a year and a half. Another point, I usually charge my batteries overnight at 200 ma. If I'm in a hurry I charge at 700 ma. At 700 ma the batteries are very warm but they are charged in a couple of hours. If you choose a higher setting the batteries are going to get hot. If you charge any rechargeable battery quickly, in any charger, they are going to get very hot.
In reply to an earlier post on Mar 9, 2013 8:43:22 AM PST
I agree with everything in your post. As a tip, I would suggest not draining your batteries completely, it's not good for them. Also, as you found out, it makes it difficult for the charger to recognize "what is what" with the cell. There is a workaround for that problem (involves a paper clip), but still better not to run the cells down to near-zero.

I have stopped using my BC900 because I got tired of standing guard to see if it was going charge or fry.
I would grab my soldering and sucker and replace the unstable component if I knew what to replace.
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 24, 2013 3:18:13 PM PST
Buy the BC-700 for under $30 right now. You time is more valuable than what it would take to find / remove / replace the offending part(s) - IF it were possible.

Chris, Are you saying that on completely drained batteries, after 30-60 minutes the charger would start charging them?

Power windows are a modern convenience that people in the past didn't get to experience. Back then, drivers still have to turn the window crank manually just to lower and raise the car windows. These days, all you have to do is push a button and your windows will automatically move. Well, power windows move because of a crucial component called the window motor. This motor ensures that the windows can go up and down easily. Once the window motor fails, your car windows will be immovable. So what do you do? The answer is simple: get a Replacement Window Motor.
The window motor is in charge of the windows' movement. An electric current passes through the motor whenever the window switch is activated. The motor is connected to several worm gears and spur gears, which do the manual work of raising and lowering the windows.
It isn't too difficult to install a new Replacement Window Motor on your own in case you need to replace your stock motor. All you have to do is follow the right steps. The first thing that you should do is remove all plastic panels. After that, pry the control switch panel gently, remove the connector safety, and then disconnect the electrical connector. You can then start removing the door panel mounting bolts and proceed to plastic insulator removal. The next step is to loosen the window and regulator mounting bolts. Remove the busted window motor and reinstall the new one. Once the installation is complete, you can now check its operation by pressing the switch.
The Parts Bin is the only place to go to if you're looking for a new Replacement Window Motor. We offer topnotch motors that you can't find anywhere else. For more information, you can visit our site right away.

A good friend once told Dean West that there’s nothing more important to his success than hangtime—which makes sense if the native of Australia were a small forward in the NBA. But it turns out that the wisdom rings just as true for an aspiring photographic artist.
“The more you’re at the right fairs, in the right galleries, in front of the right art [enthusiasts],” says the Miami Beach resident, “then the more your work will hang on people’s walls.”
In the years since his images first started gaining critical acclaim and interest from the likes of Elton John in the 2010s, hangtime isn’t the only aspect of his creative game that’s making an impression. West has gained international renown for both challenging and mesmerizing viewers with detail-rich, cinematic-quality concepts that can take up to 12 months or longer to flesh out, cast, stage and execute. The movie analogy extends to his production budgets, which can run as high as $120,000 for a single day’s worth of shots.
“It’s a huge investment, but I’m incredibly grateful that I have a following and that I have galleries that support my work,” says West, whose images are promoted in a half-dozen galleries around the world, including Echo Fine Arts on the French Riviera and C & C Gallery in Palm Beach. “It really is like making a film. It’s taking control of all the elements—story, cast, crew, lighting, color—and highlighting little moments in time, moments that can happen every day but are never captured so perfectly.”
West grew up in the agricultural hamlet of Gunnedah, Australia (with a population of 8,300). His blue-collar father, who spent 40 years on the railway, couldn’t understand why his son wanted to pursue an education instead of rugby (West, like the rest of his family, loved and played several sports). But Queensland College of Art at Griffith University—the premier school in Australia for design, photography and other creative endeavors—beckoned. West, who’d been receiving positive feedback for his photography work since begging his parents for a camera at age 7 (and getting one for Christmas), majored in the discipline at Queensland.
After enjoying early success with a commercial business he started with a fellow photographer, West could feel something more personal stirring inside. He created two artistic images that won awards in photography competitions. Encouraged by the critical reception, West then tried to sell the photography.
“I put them up on eBay for a week-long auction,” he says. “I priced one for $7,000 and the other for $4,000—and prayed for the best. The week went by, and the auction closed. I thought, hey, it was worth a shot.”
Was it ever. A day after the close of the eBay auction, a collector from Melbourne reached out—and purchased both works. That client went on to buy more than $100,000 worth of his detail-rich, atmospheric images.
West never looked back.
Over the past decade-plus, he’s exhibited either as a solo artist or in group exhibitions throughout Europe, South America and the United States. Since the onset of COVID, West has set up shop in Miami Beach, a backdrop (along with rest of Florida) that inspired his latest series, “The Palms.”
West provided insights into the images showcased in this feature.
La Piscina (from his recent “The Palms” series): “Honestly, this shoot was a nightmare. The goal was to photograph these two young gentlemen who jumped their neighbor’s fence to go swimming in the middle of the night. Then, all of the sudden, they look up and see this wolf staring at them. Florida has this absurd amount of exotic animals in captivity—and some of them escape. So, it touches on the surrealism that is Florida. And it touches on the beauty of these two young men who are living freely on a summer’s night.
“I’d found this kidney-shaped pool, iconic to the area, at a home in Miami Shores. The talent was flying in. We had a whole cinematic crew hired. And we had wolves [courtesy of] a company called Animal Crackers that I work with. But this tropical depression had been brewing below Cancun. Two days before the shoot, I made the call. The weather reports looked good enough; it seemed like we were going to be fine.
“About 11:30 p.m., bands of rain start pouring down. It rained on and off the rest of the night. This is one of only two photos we captured. This one still hurts because I had so many more ideas that I wanted to execute that night. I ended up losing a lot of money; it cost $58,000 for everyone to be there.
“One of the lessons I learned is that if there’s ever a named storm anywhere in the vicinity of the shoot—you cancel!”
Pink Dreams #1 (from “The Palms” series): “I like to think that the works I’m doing in Miami and around Florida aren’t your typical super bright, colorful, beachy vibe. It’s tapping more into the undercurrent—and a little bit of the darkness and weirdness of Florida. This state, for me, presents a crazy, surrealistic canvas [from which to work]. The landscape is stunning—the Art Deco, the pools, the palms. But underneath that? There really is this underbelly of eccentric culture.
“This is a house in Miami where [the TV show] Miami Vice used to film [fashion shoots and commercials also used it as a backdrop]. In another shot from this concept, the model that we use looks a little sinister as she cleans this big, beautiful home. So, there’s a juxtaposition between the worker and the gluttonous kind of luxury mansions.”
[Note: In his artist statement about the featured Pink Dreams image (above), West describes the housecleaner at peace while sleeping poolside in a chaise lounge—“a reprieve from her current reality, perhaps dreaming about a more prosperous future.”
Luis (The Wrangler) #1 (from “The Palms” series): “We shot this at a home in Boca Raton. When I told the scouts representing the house there was an alligator concept, they laughed. A year before, a commercial photographer and film production company did an insurance ad at the same house using baby alligators. At the end of the shoot, several of the babies were unaccounted for. A few days later, they found the missing alligators, including one under the neighbor’s car.
“Part of this is a juxtaposition to what we believe an alligator wrangler should look like. What I like to do is take a narrative and use a cinematic approach to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Why cast the Everyday Joe when you can cast Leonardo DiCaprio? Just because you wrangle alligators, it doesn’t mean you can’t be beautiful. Along the way, it makes the scene more challenging for the viewer.
“The symmetrical image of the wrangler overlooking the gator became one that the collectors loved. I go into a shoot with staunch ideas of what I think is going to work. But part of what I do is like being a chef. If you have all the ingredients to make a special dish, you can sometimes pivot and have fun in the kitchen. I had the right crew, the right lighting, and I was feeling the vibe of the day. So, we tried different angles. This shot was not part of the plan, but it turned out beautifully with the lush greens, the perfect symmetry and the last-minute light of day.”
Beverly Hills Gallery, Feb. 25, 2016: “During the period where I was focused on memory construction (see Orient Point Ferry), I was in Los Angeles and really wanted to see this exhibition in Beverly Hills by an artist named Alex Israel. But I couldn’t make it. So, I ended up scouring all the content that had come out, and from the photographs of the show, you could see it was such an experience of people-watching.
“I decided to cast a ton of people and try to recreate that feeling you get when you enter a gallery exhibition. So, I’m making a photograph about another exhibition—and I’m making it for my own exhibition. In that sense, it does become a little meta.
“Everybody here is in their own little world. Isn’t that so Los Angeles? I don’t want to say that they’re all narcissistic, but there’s a lot of focus on the self out there.” (West laughs)
Orient Point Ferry (2016): “This project was about how we construct memories. There’s a lot of that in the works I produced between 2015 and 2020. I was diving deep into how our memory kind of deconstructs and reconstructs recollections.
“When I was living in Toronto and going to New York, I would take the Orient Point Ferry from Connecticut to Long Island. I have so many images of different people I would see on that ferry. Whatever I could do to recreate a memory is what I was doing during that period. And being on the Orient Point Ferry was one of those ones that I wanted to revisit.
“Coming from Australia, America had this different style about it. There was this tourism, resort-wear vibe that, for some reason, really stood out to me. We worked with stylists to evolve that kind of 1980s and ’90s feeling here. We actually shot the talent for this on a rooftop in Los Angeles with the same flooring, and then put them into that scene.”

Isn’t this part of the evil “urban sprawl” the elites like to yammer about?
WEST FARGO – There’s no oil under West Fargo, but that isn’t keeping it from being a North Dakota boom town.
West Fargo issued a record number of housing permits in 2012, and is on track to eclipse that mark this year.
In 2012, the city issued $216 million in permits, nearly two and a half times the amount for 2011, Planning Director Larry Weil said. That included 411 single-family and twin homes, and 430 townhomes and apartments.
Builders are raising roofs even faster this year.
Through June, 180 single-family permits were issued in West Fargo, 20 more than last year at this time; 30 twin home permits, 14 more than last year; and seven apartment complex permits with 243 units, nearly 200 units more than last year.
Nine more subdivisions with 560 lots were approved, including Strawberry Fields, Shadow Creek Fourth Addition, Brooks Harbor First and Second additions, Eaglewood Second Addition, Rivers Bend at the Preserve First Addition, South Pond at the Preserve Seventh Addition, West Creek First Addition, and Shadow Creek Fifth Addition, Weil said.
The Brooks Harbor additions west of Sheyenne Street are now getting sewer, water and roads for the planned 258 lots.
“It’s kind of a war zone going down Sheyenne,” Weil said.


It’s no secret that holidays are high-stress events—especially for the family members who host Thanksgiving dinner. Often times the problem is that we have high expectations of the perfect family dinner just like the ones in commercials, but our families are far from these iconic images. As soon as the wine gets on the table and political discussions break out, you may be ready to pull your hair out after putting so much effort into getting dinner on the table. So how can you make your holiday perfect and memorable for the photo albums? The key is to abandon the idea of the T.V. commercial-ideal for Thanksgiving dinner and embrace your family’s uniqueness as you enjoy a meal together. No one has the perfect family, and tensions tend to run highest during the holiday season. This means that you might have to compromise your expectations and set the tone for a more relaxed day that will not end with a domestic disturbance.
Prepare ahead of time (and get some help)
If you have the stress of a crazy family, you may find yourself overwhelmed by cooking and cleaning as guests arrive. You can reduce the stress by planning ahead of time and taking some shortcuts where they’re needed. Grocery stores and restaurants offer more and more premade side dishes and fully-cooked turkeys to help get dinner on the table, or you can skip the mess altogether and dine out instead. This often has those rowdier family members on better behavior because they are out in a public setting.
Add a personal touch to the event
No matter where you choose to host the event or take a helping hand for dinner, you should keep things fun with your own crafty decorations or table centerpiece. Getting creative in areas you enjoy will let you work out some tension and make the holiday more special.
Plan some afternoon entertainment
Family tension tends to run highest in those afternoon hours after a heavy dinner when kids are bored and other family members are feeling full and irritable. You can prevent the cabin fever effect that sets in early in the afternoon by putting out board games, letting kids play outside, or planning a post-dinner outing to the movies or local park if weather permits.
Have an emergency strategy
Even if you plan everything perfectly and manage to keep your stress down throughout the day, certain volatile family members might still act up and take things out of hand. Plan ahead to be the cooler head in these situations and separate feuding family members so that you can keep a tense situation from getting completely out of control.
When you do start to feel stress, remember that the holidays are a time to relax and enjoy yourself. If things don’t go perfectly, simply take the Friday after Thanksgiving to yourself for some post-holiday relaxation.

Hello and welcome back for another podcast. I am very glad to see the back of the General Election here in the UK for a number of reasons. My advice is to be a doer. This episode is mostly about enabling. Again.
There will be a trunk show at my beloved Fluph in Dundee on 27th May 2015. This will be with Nic from Yarns From The Plain who will be showcasing her wares between 2-8pm. It’s sure to be a great event, so I am gutted not to be in attendance. For those not able to make Fluph, Nic will also be exhibiting at Fibre East in July.
Feeling a little overwhelmed by your to-knit list? Check out the fun over at the Hotel for the Hopelessly Overcommitted on Ravelry.
Exciting news on the knitting front with a collaboration with Louise Scollay of KnitBritish (along with some special guests) on Make It Fit 2015. More details to follow on this, but there will be threads open on both the Shinybees and KnitBritish groups. If you’ve got anything you find hard, don’t understand or are too scared to attempt, share it with us. Likewise if you have some ninja top tips for adjusting your knitwear, we’d love to hear from you.
It’s going to be an exercise in enabling you to create knitwear that fits the way you want it to. Neither Ms Scollay or I are experts, we’re merely going on a journey of exploration and investigation of the available resources out there, doing some experiments, gathering data and hopefully leaving you all with some great techniques you can use to make every project fit well.
We have our own dedicated email for Make It Fit 2015. Please contact us with any comments, queries, ideas or requests!
More Summer Knitting Yarns
Following on from episode 44, where we talked about summer knitting yarns, I’ve some recommendations courtesy of lovely listeners to share with you. Iribeiro is a fan of DMC Natura Cotton for summer projects, as well as Yarn Stories on Etsy, who sell very cost effective Lithuanian linen (not to be confused with the Yorkshire Yarn Stories).
Dane Abroad likes Holst Garn Coast, which is a 55% Merino, 45% cotton yarn, available from our friends at Tangled Yarn in 48 colours.
Caity Rosey recommends Claudia Handpainted Yarns. They have a 100% linen sport weight yarn called Drama, along with a lace weight 100% linen, ‘Contemplation’.
This section would be more aptly named ‘Works in Stasis’ judging by current, somewhat glacial, progress. Only projects knitted on so far are the Aestlight by Gudrun Johnston for the KnitBritish Hapalong, and my Braambos Socks.
What techniques do you have to ensure you make progress on your wips?
That’s all from me this week. As always, thank you for listening. Feedback is always appreciated, and you can email me or message me via Ravelry or social media. If you enjoyed listening today, please consider leaving an iTunes review, to help others find the podcast too. Happy crafting!

Five years ago, a security team at an experimental research farm in Iowa owned by the seed producer Dupont Pioneer saw men crawling through and digging in their cornfields. As they were watching over a farm full of proprietary genetically modified seeds, the security guards contacted the FBI, who subsequently launched an investigation straight out of a movie, complete with wiretaps and GPS tracking devices planted on rental cars. Now just this past Wednesday, a naturalized American citizen originally from China was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in stealing corn seeds and sending them to China.
Mo Hailong, a businessman employed by Beijing's Kings Nower Seed, worked alongside five other Chinese nationals to steal trade secrets from the agricultural giants Dupont Pioneer and Monsanto. Together they smuggled more than 1,000 pounds of corn seeds to Beijing—some found by customs officers hidden in manila envelopes amid large boxes of microwaveable popcorn—so that scientists at Beijing Dabeinong Technology Group Co., the parent company of Kings Nower Seed, could study and replicate them. It also happens that Mo's sister is married to the founder of Beijing Dabeinong Technology Co.Mo, who has lived in the United States for 20 years and has a wife and two children who are US citizens, may be immediately deported when he is released. He will also have to pay restitution to Monsanto and Dupont Pioneer."We need to send a message to China that this kind of criminal behavior is not tolerated in the United States," US District Court Judge Stephanie Rose, who presided over the case, said.Companies like Monsanto invest enormous sums of money to develop seeds that can produce big yields under a variety of conditions, and the seeds that they sell are patented to protect technology that is considered a trade secret. The FBI even treats theft of seeds as a national security issue, arguing that cutting-edge seed science is crucial to America's economy. The case of Mo and Kings Nower Seed is not the first in which a Chinese company has attempted to steal seed tech.
A "parent" or "inbred" seed "constitutes valuable intellectual property of a seed producer," the FBI wrote in a press release relating to a seed theft in 2013. "The estimated loss on an inbred line of seed is approximately five to eight years of research and a minimum of 30 to 40 million dollars."Monsanto worked with the FBI and the US Attorney's Office throughout the investigation that culminated in Mo's sentencing."Monsanto appreciates all of the efforts that have been taken by the US Government to protect our intellectual property," a spokesperson for Monsanto told MUNCHIES. "Monsanto believes that innovations in the agriculture sector help provide abundant, affordable and safe food for our growing world… The ability to obtain Intellectual Property Rights protection allows individuals and companies to continue to invest in developing new and improved products that provide value to farmers as well as consumers."In the past, Monsanto has aggressively protected its technology, and has sued farmers who saved seeds from prior plantings in violation with a contract farmers using Monsanto seeds must sign.
RECIPE: The Best Creamed Corn
In court, Mo spoke of how he left China in the decade following the Tiananmen Square massacre with dreams of a prosperous life in the United States. But he learned the hard way: America takes its corn very seriously.

So thrilled to share our AW17 Look-book with you. We shot this last November on a crisp, sunny day in the Scottish Borders. And we are in love with the pictures shot by Anette Schive.
This season we want to highlight the joy and pleasure wearing one of our sumptuously soft accessories can make you feel. We have focussed on up-lifting patterns including love hearts, stars and peace & love symbols. You’ll also find all our signature pieces such as the hand-knitted turban, and this year we have an array of beautiful tonal colours in our offering. Our colour palette was inspired by the ever changing Scottish landscape and also the beautiful colours of an Autumnal garden.
We hope the look book inspires you to look forward to the colder season ahead, enjoy!


In 2017, as part of the participatory budget programme, Paris Habitat initiated an extensive consultation among all inhabitants of the Porte de Chatillon (14th district) and Lefebvre-Dantzig (15th district) housing projects to find out their ideas regarding improving their shared living environment.
Together they came up with the idea of devising a cultural programme along with social and festive occasions.
The frac île-de-france has been entrusted with implementing this and invited the artists Tiphaine Calmettes and Séverine Hubard to instigate these programmes for and with the inhabitants.

Honk! Jr. is the school version of the adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless fairytale, The Ugly Duckling, with music by George Stiles and book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe. Honk! (the original) won London’s 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical, beating Mamma Mia! and The Lion King. Comic and heart-warming, it is a musical to “quack” about for both children and adults, who will appreciate not only its timeless themes of self-discovery and acceptance, but also its witty lyrics and tuneful score. The musical is so inspirational in its message of acceptance and tolerance that the Ministry of Education in Israel has made it compulsory viewing for school children.
HONK! Jr. follows Ugly (Miguel Molina, age 10) whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors including his dad, Drake (Johan Lowe, age 12). Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat (Alaina McClue, age 14), Ugly must find his way home, with only his loving mother Ida (Erica O’Neal, age 13) searching for him. Along his harrowing yet hilarious journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.

Soundcloud hits 200 million track with Francesca Lombardo ‘Eye Ring’
Soundcloud celebrates 200 million tracks on the platform with an outstanding tune by Francesca Lombardo’s Eye Ring.
As the world’s largest open audio platform, we’ve seen it all — from Chance the Rapper’s first mixtape, to NASA uploading its entire historical audio library and BTS’ Jimin’s record-breaking track. What’s next in music is first on SoundCloud thanks to the connected community of creators, listeners, and curators it’s powered by, who are driving and shaping culture.
The music industry we know right now would be very different without SoundCloud. Thanks to the platform, mainstream world phenomena were born, as well as talented newcomers that, thanks to SoundCloud have built their carrier. SoundCloud, the first home of tons of independent record labels and independent creatives that have decided to share to the world their creations via SoundCloud.
To celebrate this impressive milestone, Soundcloud has decided to have as 200th upload the amazing masterpiece of Francesca Lombardo. ‘Eye Ring’, this is the title, is more than a simple dance tune; it’s a mash-up of all the sounds Lombardo loves. Soundcloud has managed to sit down with Francesca for a little Q/A. You can read more about it there.
Francesca Lombardo, a London-based DJ and classically-trained vocalist who has performed at IMS Dalt Vila, Burning Man, and Tomorrowland and is dropping her debut album, ‘Life of Leaf’ on February 15th.

It has affected me, it hasn’t if you want to know how
Most places my boyfriend and I get, individuals stare. Provided, this may be on him, but let’s be honest, living in the South sometimes has its disadvantages because I have a good five inches. And another of these takes place to still be racism. Yippie.
My boyfriend and I also have the personality that is same equivalent spontaneity, exactly the same intelligence level – all things are the same with the exception of the colour of our skin. It does not bother me a lot of whenever people look that there is such a stigma attached with being one half of an interracial couple at us, it bothers me.
We give into this sometimes when I see other couples that are interracial. I’ll laugh, quietly praising them for breaking stereotypes. The construct that is social of with black and white with white has also gotten into my mind.
So, why does this exist? Clearly history plays probably the most role that is prominent. Interracial marriage wasn’t also legal until lower than 50 years ago. Some still don’t rely on it. But why has this stigma stayed?
It has stayed because we legitimize it with your words and jokes. It has remained due to the notion of sorting – we live near those who are most like us. This has remained because interracial couples will never be precisely represented within the media. As is currently hopefully obvious, this has stayed because we shall it to.
Once I first began to date my boyfriend over 2 yrs ago, the quips and remarks that are side also. I visited a Catholic college where there have been lower than 10 black pupils inside our entire 300-person senior course, so that it ended up being constantly apparent once they hung out with anybody apart from themselves. When he and I began dating, my buddies instantly joked that I became his “Desdemona” in which he had been my “Othello” from Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. Of course, I knew it absolutely was all in good enjoyable, however the really fact that jokes like these still exist is appalling.
“Sorting” is generally discussed in governmental terms and taken to mean that individuals with similar ideological opinions live in the same basic areas that are geographical. As a result of this, many times individuals of different races don’t always reside in the same areas – just as the environment within my senior school. Them there actually attended because it was a private school, only the black students whose parents could afford to send. does Single Muslim work Not so much of the pot that is melting, are we?
Lastly, the media portrays interracial partners as something acutely unusual and unusual. I will only name a number of movies in which there are interracial couples whose function isn’t to be here as they are unique. Just like the underrepresentation of strong female figures in movie, interracial couples – and friend that is even interracial in general – are entirely misrepresented. Maybe they ought to follow cues from our textbooks that are creepily diverse of whitewashing everything.
Residing in the South and dating A african united states does not bother me. If individuals look at us as a result of that explanation, personally i think proud, maybe not discriminated against. But I’m lucky to call home within an area that’s typically extremely open and accepting. Some aren’t as lucky. The Southern we grew up in is not the exact same since it used to be, but we can’t talk for the South that surrounds me.
There will be those who don’t trust one thing. Whilst it is a backwards way of thinking to inform somebody they can’t love someone else, it’s still a means of thinking. And it shall constantly occur. It really is our work to open as many minds as we can, and also to show that love trumps all.

From Our Recipe Archive – First published June 29, 2017
Shortcakes with fresh fruit are one of summer’s most perfect desserts, and if you substitute blueberries for the peaches called for in this recipe, you’ve nailed July 4th’s sweet treat. The assembly of these shortcakes is unusual: to ensure a tall shortcake, that splits easily in half, two shorter cakes are placed one on top of the other. I learned of this assembly in a vintage recipe booklet, as I collect the booklets and am currently writing a cookbook of booklet baking recipes (The Vintage Baker [Chronicle Books April 2018]) that I have tweaked and twisted for the 21st century baker – but that is a story for another day! These shortcakes are easy to throw together, as is the fruit that fills them, and folks get awfully excited when presented with one at a dinner party or a festive summer luncheon. Trust me.
To take a peek at the original blog post for my peach and strawberry shortcakes- and to peruse my collection of original recipes, click here.
For the filling –
- 3 medium-sized peaches (leave the skin on)
- 2 cups of sliced strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced prior to measuring
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
For the shortcakes –
- 1 stick, 8 tbsp, unsalted butter, cold
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (ie: sift before measuring)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
For assembling/baking –
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Turbinado sugar
For the whipped cream –
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- splash of vanilla
TO MAKE THE FILLING
cut the peaches into 1/2 to 1-inch chunks. place in a medium sized bowl. add the strawberries and sugar (add more or less sugar depending on the sweetness of your fruit) and stir gently with a wooden spoon. let fruit sit on the counter (or in the fridge) macerating, while you make the shortcakes.
TO MAKE THE SHORTCAKES
preheat the oven to 450 degrees. cut the butter into small cubes and place in the freezer. in a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
add the butter to the dry ingredients and working quickly, and using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until – yes, you guessed it – the flour resembles coarse meal.
add the cream and the mascarpone and using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry. the mixture will seem too dry and you’ll be dying to add more cream. resist and keep stirring, or, do as i do, and knead the dough in the bowl with your hands until it comes together.
dump the dough out on the counter (you shouldn’t need to flour your work surface, as the dough will still be dry-ish) and knead the dough a few times until it is no longer crumbly and the dry and moist bits are fully integrated.
lightly flour your work surface, if the dough is at all sticky, and pat the dough into a rectangle a little less than 1/2 of an inch thick. be super gentle as you pat. using a 2 1/2-in biscuit cutter, dipped in flour, begin cutting out shortcakes from the rectangle. do not twist the cutter as you push through the dough (if you twist as you push down or pull up, the biscuits will not rise as well).
place the shortcakes on a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. continue cutting out cakes until you have used up all of your dough, re-forming your rectangle with scraps, as you go.
place the sheet in the freezer for about an hour, or overnight, or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to two weeks, before baking. some time in the freezer pre-bake, helps the shortcakes keep their shape.
brush the tops of the shortcakes with melted butter. place one cake on top of another and sprinkle the top-top with turbinado sugar. place the tray in the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating after 5, and checking after 10. the cakes are ready when they are golden brown on top and lightly browned on the bottom. make the whipped cream while the shortcakes bake.
TO MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM
beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, on medium-high speed, until the cream almost holds a soft peak (the cream is best a bit droopy – in my photos, i had over whipped it, as i am so used to making whipped cream for icebox cakes and when doing so, cream is always over whipped just slightly . . . ).
TO ASSEMBLE THE SHORTCAKES
once removed from the oven, let the shortcakes sit a minute or two on the tray, until they are still warm, but easy to handle. gently pull the two halves of the cake apart. dribble some of the fruit juice that has accumulated underneath the peaches and strawberries onto the bottom half of the shortcake. add a few spoonfuls of fruit, followed by a big dollop of whipped cream. top the whipped cream with the other half/top of the cake. place a bit of extra fruit on each plate before serving and please place the bowl of cream on the table so that people can take more if they so desire (i always so desire, fyi).

Thank you so much for checking out my listing. I have been wanting to customize a Lagoona Blue doll forever and this is what I finally came up with. I hope you like her!
A lot of love and attention have been paid to this OOAK doll. I created her makeup with water color pencils, pastel chalk, and acrylic paints. I shaded her entire body with pastel chalk and sealed the doll with Mr. Then I added glossy varnish to her eyes and lips; I even glossed her fins to make them look wet.To finish the doll, I gave her false eye lashes and painted her nails a shade of coral pink. Her clothes are all my unique design and I have sewn them myself. Her custom accessories include hand-painted shoes, purse, turtle necklace, turtle bracelet, fish bracelet and pearl earrings.
I did not make the bracelets; they are hair accessories that I decided would be perfect touch for this doll. The purse is my favorite accessory because it looks like a fishbowl AND it is. Tiny pearls, sea shells and starfishes. This totally unique doll comes with everything you see in the pictures, including a doll stand.This is an art doll, meant to be displayed. It has small pieces and is not meant for small children. This item is in the category "Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets". The seller is "vanranstudios" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

Marzipan Easter Bunnies
These cute and scrumptious Marzipan Easter Bunnies are a quick and easy way to celebrate the sweet side of Easter while avoiding the processed, commercial confectionary which doesn’t always feel so good - especially if you gave it up for Lent. Most marzipan we’ve tasted is super sweet and typically made with plenty of refined sugar, syrups and binding agents, making it less almonds and more sweetener. Our version tastes and feels better! Happy Easter! x
1. Blend the marzipan ingredients together in a food processor until well combined.
2. Chill in the fridge for an hour to make it easier to work with
3. Take just under a tbs of the mixture and with slightly wettened palms lightly form it into a tapered ball shape
4. Place onto parchment paper lined tray and continue with the rest until you have about a tbs left. Use this to make little tails
5. If you want to shape the bunnies further, mould with wet hands. Add 2 sesame seeds to each bunny to make eyes (we used a chopstick that was damp at one end to do this) and insert 2 almond slivers into the marzipan for ears (you can also do this after baking for more pale ears)
6. Bake in the middle of the oven at 170°C/338°F for 11-12 minutes until lightly browned
7. While the bunnies are still warm, take half or a third of a goji and push into the marzipan to make a nose (if you do this before baking the noses go brown!)
8. Leave to cool completely, store in an airtight container somewhere cool or in the fridge.

1 rood: how many perches, square miles, square yards, square inches, cm2, m2, km2, hectares?
Rood is an English unit of area (and an obsolete measure of length) which has been in common use up to the 20th century.
It was originally established as a rectangular piece of land with dimensions of 10x40 rods (also known as ‘poles’; 1 rod = 5.5 yd or 5.0292 m).
Below you will find other conversions from rood to imperial and metric units of area.
1 rood =
|10 890 sq ft|| 40 sq rods (perches)||1 210 sq yds||1 568 000 sq in||0.0003906sq miles|
|10 120 000cm2||1 012m2||0.001012km2||0.1012 hectares||10.12 ares|
Did you know?
The word ‘rood’ is also an Old English term for the cross, especially with reference to the one on which Jesus Christ was crucified as in one of the oldest English poems, The Dream of the Rood.
Have you ever seen roods being used as a measure of area nowadays?
