Summer can be a great time to vacation in Orlando, but visiting during July and August has some key differences that will impact what you pack and what you wear.We Bust the Myths About What You Really Need to Bring and Advice to IgnoreFor starters, Orlando summers are hot, humid and often wet. Afternoon thunderstorms are a near-daily occurrence, and temperatures hover in the high 80s to mid-90s (°F) and sometimes top 100°F. Add in the Florida humidity and you can expect to experience heat like you've never felt before.Still, summer vacation in Orlando can be fun and has a few benefits, as long as you're aware of the weather and prepare for it. So how do you stay cool, dry, and comfortable while still enjoying your vacation? Here's your essential Orlando summer packing guide:Summer Clothing for Orlando: Think Light, Breathable and Fast-Drying1. Lightweight T-Shirts and Tops When it comes to travel shirts and t-shirts, choose lightweight, moisture-wicking materials like performance blends or soft cotton. Avoid anything heavy or clingy. Thick cotton tees can get soggy quickly in the humidity or during a daily afternoon downpour.Tip: Be sure to plan your wardrobe so that you can swap out a shirt if you need to change midday after rain or sweat.2. Quick-Dry Shorts or Skorts The top pick here is athletic or casual shorts made from fast-drying and lightweight materials.   These types of shorts are more practical than denim or heavy canvas shorts, both of which hold moisture and can feel heavy and uncomfortable. Skorts are also a great option for women who want a mix of comfort and coverage.3. Comfortable Footwear You'll be walking a lot, especially in theme parks. Go for breathable sneakers or well-ventilated walking sandals with good support. Also, shoes that dry quickly after a downpour are great for summer vacations in Orlando. There are also a growing number of waterproof running shoes that are perfect for summer in Florida. Tip: Avoid flip-flops unless you're heading to the pool or water park. If you want to wear sandals, make sure they're made for long walking days and can handle getting wet.4. Lightweight Rain Jacket or Poncho: Yes or No? Afternoon thunderstorms roll in daily like clockwork in the summer.   If you're a poncho person, a compact rain poncho or a lightweight, breathable rain jacket will save you from getting drenched—and cool down drafts from intense indoor A/Cs. However, these plastic wraps can also make you hot sticky and uncomfortable in the oppressive Orlando summer humidity.   Instead, we recommend a super small travel size umbrella as a better option, the kind that fold to fit in the palm of your hand. Remember, you'll dry quickly if you don't mind a little summer drenching. We find this preferable to wrapping ourselves in plastic and cooking in the Florida heat.5. Sun Protection Gear For the record, sun protection is always something to keep in mind. Consider the following when you pack for your Orlando summer vacation:Wide-brimmed hat or baseball capUV-blocking sunglassesSwimsuits (bring more than one)Cover-ups for pool daysOrlando Summer Heat Accessories: Do You Really Need These?You'll often see these items recommended, but it is really worth lugging around extra gear? We don't regurgitate the same old stale advice. Here are the straight yes or no answers.1. Refillable Water Bottle (No) Staying hydrated is key in the Florida heat. An insulated refillable water bottle can keep your drink cold all day. However, many theme parks have free refill stations and you can also get free ice water at any time from any quick service restaurant at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. So, no, we never bring a refillable water bottle, but you might want to lug one around.2. Sunscreen (Yes) Choose water- and sweat-resistant SPF 30 or higher. Reapply every couple of hours, especially if you're outside all day. 3. Small Daypack or Sling Bag (Yes)While we recommend carrying around the least possible amount of stuff, if you do have a few things, then these small bags are perfect for carrying your rain gear, water, sunscreen and snacks. Look for a water-resistant option or bring a plastic bag to protect electronics when it rains.4. Portable Fan or Cooling Towel (No)Battery-powered fans or cooling towels are often recommended while waiting in lines or walking around midday. Sure, theme parks and other stores want you to buy this stuff, but this kind of extra stuff is really not necessary. A refreshing stop in the A/C with an ice water goes a lot further than a tiny little battery fan that you have to carry around. Remember, you're not traveling to the middle of a remote desert, so don't pack like you are (avoid the tired old repeated hype of so many "expert" travel blogs). There are plenty of better ways to stay cool (including fun theme park mister cooling stations). As far as cooling towels go, the truth is that any moistened towel or facecloth will do the exact same thing. Cooling towels marketed that way are nothing special (it's all marketing). Any towel will give you the cooling effect and this method will cool you down if you are overheated. But don't spend money on something marketed as a cooling towel. Grab a face cloth from the hotel room and you're good to go.5. Ziplock Bags or Waterproof Pouches (Maybe)These can be useful for keeping electronics or important documents safe when those summer storms hit and even for water rides where you risk getting splashed.What Not to PackHeavy clothing – You won't wear it and it takes up bag space.Heels or fashion shoes – Choose comfort over style, especially in the summer.Thick denim jeans – Too hot and slow to dry. Not a summer essential in Orlando.Big Umbrellas – Often impractical in busy parks; we recommend a tiny palm size version.Final Thoughts on Packing for an Orlando Summer VacationPacking smart for an Orlando summer vacation is all about staying cool, dry and comfortable.Choose breathable fabrics, prepare for both heat and rain and don't forget the sunscreen. With the right gear, you can focus less on discomfort and more on making magical memories.Bonus Tip: If you're planning theme park days, pack a change of socks and stash them in your bag. Wet socks + walking = guaranteed blisters. Plus all onsite hotels at Walt Disney World have laundry, so dry those wet clothes or shoes if you need to.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies, dresses, swimwear and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X,

#33 Matthew Plechan: How to Paint Masonry. The Durable, Breathable Beauty of Mineral Stains.

Most Americans think painting brick is as simple as grabbing a bucket of latex or oil-based paint, but this common approach can wreak havoc on your home–and is uglier to boot. In this episode, I sit down with Matt Plechan, the founder of Mineral Stains.  We dive deep into the art and science of finishing brick with mineral stains like limewash, potassium silicate and sol silicate.  These centuries-old techniques are not only more durable and beautiful but also allow your brick to breathe, preventing costly damage.  I talk to many people who go to Europe, see a beautiful color, and try to color match it at home on stucco or masonry. It doesn't turn out the same.  Why? It's not the same paint! But it can be.  If you are thinking about painting masonry, listen to this episode! And while there are other US based suppliers, Matt at Mineral Stains is an excellent source who manufactures in the US and will help you find the right product for your project! TAKEAWAYS Latex acrylic paints are unsuitable for masonry, while mineral stains bond with masonry for enhanced durability and a natural aesthetic. Potassium silicate offers better longevity than lime wash, while sole silicate works effectively on previously painted or coated surfaces. Mineral stains are eco-friendly, made from natural pigments, and provide vibrant, non-toxic finishes with a timeless, breathable quality.

This week, Aebhric O'Kelly talks with Dr Jørgen Melau. They discuss the intricacies of providing prolonged field care (PFC) in Arctic environments. They emphasise the importance of knowledge over gear, the challenges of managing cold casualties, and the necessity of shelter and improvisation. The discussion also covers protocols for PFC, the difficulties of vapour barriers, transportation strategies, and future developments in Arctic medical care. Dr Melau provides valuable advice for new medics interested in working in cold environments, highlighting the need for comfort and experience in such conditions.   Takeaways Knowledge is more vital than the actual gear. Training should focus on the person, not just products. Shelter is vital for casualty care in the Arctic. Improvisation can save lives in cold environments. Condensation is a considerable problem in cold weather operations. Breathable fabrics could improve vapour barriers. Keeping hands warm is vital for medics in cold environments. You must be comfortable in the cold before being a medic. Training in cold environments is essential for medics. Human performance is key in prolonged care situations.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Arctic Prolonged Field Care 01:10 The Importance of Knowledge Over Gear 07:04 Managing Cold Casualties in the Arctic 11:37 Shelter and Improvisation Techniques 17:00 Protocols for Prolonged Field Care 23:02 Challenges of Vapor Barriers and Heating 30:03 Transportation and Evacuation Strategies 34:48 Future Developments in Arctic PFC 44:58 Advice for New Medics in Cold Environments

These are a couple of items that made the cut.  We also talk about Lurch riding an expert section of the Backroad Discovery Route (BDR).  We are lucky that section two of the Washington BDR runs right through our backyard.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Alpinestars Convex Fleece has garnered attention as a versatile choice for those who need a hoodie that combines comfort with performance-driven design. Known for their high-quality motorsport and adventure gear, Alpinestars has delivered a fleece that caters to everyday wearers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike. Let's dive into why the Convex Fleece has become a go-to for style, warmth, and functionality. Key Features Material and Comfort: Made from a premium blend of cotton and polyester, the Alpinestars Convex Fleece provides a cozy feel and excellent breathability. The material is soft against the skin, ensuring comfort during long rides or extended wear throughout the day. Design and Fit: The hoodie sports a streamlined, athletic fit that hugs the body without restricting movement. This modern design appeals to both active users and style-conscious buyers. The Convex Fleece is available in multiple color options, making it easy to pair with any outfit, on or off the road. Practical Features for Riders: Alpinestars designed this fleece with practical features in mind. It includes a full-length front zipper for temperature control and hand-warmer pockets that double as storage for small essentials. Reflective detailing enhances visibility, adding a safety element for those who may wear it while riding in low-light conditions. Durability: Alpinestars is known for durability, and the Convex Fleece lives up to this reputation. Reinforced stitching and quality materials ensure that this hoodie can withstand the wear and tear of both everyday use and more rugged outdoor adventures. Performance on the Road For motorcycle riders, the Alpinestars Convex Fleece excels in providing a balance between warmth and mobility. While it's not a full-on riding jacket, the fleece is ideal for layering under protective gear or for casual rides in mild weather. The moisture-wicking properties help keep you dry, and the fleece lining offers warmth without being bulky, making it a great choice for cooler rides. Pros and Cons Pros: Stylish and versatile design suitable for casual and active wear. High-quality materials ensure long-lasting comfort. Thoughtful features like reflective elements for added safety. Breathable and warm, perfect for layering or standalone use in mild weather. Cons: Not specifically designed as protective gear for riding. May not provide enough insulation for extremely cold weather without layering. Final Verdict: Is the Alpinestars Convex Fleece Worth It? For those who appreciate functional fashion and are fans of the Alpinestars brand, the Convex Fleece is a worthwhile investment. This hoodie provides excellent comfort, style, and practical features that make it a staple in any wardrobe, especially for riders.

The Five Best Fabrics to Wear at Walt Disney World in Summer

Summer at Walt Disney World is a fun time to visit. But summer in Florida also means you'll have to deal with rain, humidity and hot steamy weather. So what are the best clothing fabrics to wear in hot, humid weather? We share the top five fabrics for summer. The Best Clothing Fabrics to Wear in a Hot, Sweaty and Steamy Orlando SummerAside from the usual tips about sunscreen, keeping hydrated and cooling off in the AC, what you wear can also be a make-or-break decision for your comfort in the parks and beyond.Here is our guide to the best fabrics to wear in the summer at Walt Disney World, and also the ones you should avoid to stay cool and fresh in Florida's steamy summer.The Five Best Fabrics to Wear in a Hot Humid WeatherWhen packing for your summer vacation to Walt Disney World, consider packing clothing made from the following materials to ensure your best possible comfort against the sometimes oppressive Florida summer heat.Top Five Fabrics for Hot, Humid Weather(in no particular order)1. CottonCotton is always mentioned as a summer fabric for good reason. Cotton is a natural fabric that's breathable and lightweight, which allows air to circulate freely around the body. Cotton also does a good job of absorbing moisture, which helps to keep sweat off your skin and prevent irritation. Remember, as we have discussed in past posts, there are different weights of cotton, so consider lightweights cotton t-shirts for optimal comfort.Why Cotton is Great for Heat and Humidity: - Breathable and promotes air circulation- Soft and comfortable against the skin- Absorbs moisture, reducing sweat buildup2. LinenLinen is another excellent choice for keeping cool in hot and humid climates. Made from flax fibers, linen is highly breathable and has natural moisture-wicking properties. Linen is also notable for its loose weave, which allows for better air flow that can help you stay cool.Why Linen is Great for Heat and Humidity:- Extremely breathable and lightweight- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities- Dries quickly, preventing sweat from sticking around3. BambooWhile relatively new and not yet widely available as a clothing fabric, bamboo fabric is rapidly gaining popularity. If you find a bamboo clothing item that you like, it's worth a try for Florida's steamy summer weather. Bamboo is incredibly soft, breathable and has natural moisture-wicking and antibacterial properties, all of which combine to make bamboo fabric an ideal choice for humid conditions.Why Bamboo Fabric is Great for Heat and Humidity:- Breathable and moisture-wicking- Naturally antibacterial, reducing odor- Soft and comfortable4. RayonRayon is a semi-synthetic fabric made from natural fibers. It's known for being lightweight and breathable, which makes it a good option for hot weather. It drapes well and can be found in many summer clothing items. However, rayon is as absorbent or moisture wicking as other options on the list, so rayon clothing would be a good pick if you want to bring a dress or nice outfit for an evening dinner or event.Why Rayon is Good for Heat:- Lightweight and breathable- Soft and smooth texture- Good moisture absorption5. ChambrayChambray is often mistaken for denim, but it's much lighter and more breathable, making it a great choice for that denim look in the heat of summer. As a cotton-based fabric, chambray is perfect for summer because it combines the sturdiness of denim with the lightness of cotton, so you get the best of both worlds with comfort and style.Why Chambray is Great for Summer:- Lightweight compared to denim- Breathable and comfortable- Stylish yet practical for hot weatherFour Fabrics to Avoid Wearing to Walt Disney World in the Summer HeatIt's not just about which fabrics are the best to wear in a hot and steamy Florida summer, it also helps to know which clothing fabrics you should avoid packing for your Disney vacation. During the fall, winter and early spring, these four fabrics will do just fine. But in the sweatiest stickiest heat of a Florida summer, you may want to leave these items at home (unless you plan to wear them indoors in the air conditioning).1. PolyesterPolyester has a well-earned notorious reputation for being non-breathable. Polyester clothing traps heat and moisture, making it a bad choice for hot, humid weather. It is durable fabric that's often used in activewear, but don't let that fool you. Polyester is one clothing fabric that is best avoided during steamy Florida summers. Pay special attention to this with your kids' clothes as well.Why to Avoid Wearing Polyester in the Florida Summer:- Non-breathable, traps heat- Can cause excessive sweating- Can get very uncomfortable in humid conditions2. NylonSimilar to polyester, nylon is not a very breathable fabric. Nylon clothing can trap moisture and heat against your skin, leading to discomfort and even the potential for skin irritation and rashes (which you definitely want to avoid at Disney World). While nylon is often used in activewear, it is not suited to humid climates—unless it is blended with breathable fabrics. Even then, if you see nylon on the label, we recommend avoiding this for a summer vacation in Orlando.Why to Avoid Nylon Clothing in Humid Weather:- Traps heat and moisture- Not breathable- Can cause discomfort and irritation3. AcrylicAcrylic is another synthetic fabric that is typically used in cooler weather due to its insulating properties. Wearing acrylic in hot, humid weather can lead to overheating, excessive sweating and even making you a little more odorous along the way. So skip acrylic clothing when packing for a Disney summer vacation.Why to Avoid Acrylic Clothing in an Orlando Summer:- Insulates heat, not breathable- Can cause excessive sweating- Uncomfortable in hot conditions4. SilkSilk is a tricky one that some people believe is good for hot humid weather. It's not. While silk is lightweight and does feel luxuriously light, once the humidity kicks in, it's not going to be a pleasant fabric to wear. Yes, silk can absorb moisture, but it doesn't dry quickly. This means you'll be left feeling sticky, uncomfortable and generally irritated in the high heat and humidity of summer at Walt Disney World.Why to Avoid Wearing Silk in Heat and Humidity:- Absorbs moisture but dries slowly- Can feel sticky and uncomfortable- Delicate and requires special care General Clothing Tips for Staying Cool at Walt Disney WorldIn addition to choosing the best clothing fabrics for hot, humid Florida weather, be sure to remember these general clothing tips for staying cool during a Disney World summer vacation.Choose Light Colors: Dark colors attract and absorb more heat from the sun, while light colors reflect it. So skip the black and navy blue tops and go with whites, yellows or similar.Wear Loose-fitting Clothes:Tight clothes tend to trap heat and restrict airflow. That's not what you want on a hot, humid sticky day. Go for looser fitting shirts to promote better air circulation.Layer wisely: Whether to layer at all is the first ...

I'm your host Claudia Lawson.For our summer season bonus episode, we're catching up with the divine Emma Watkins. In season one, Emma and I spoke about her life growing up in Sydney. We spoke about her early dance years, about injuries and auditions, and then being selected to be the first ever female Wiggle. We spoke about Emma's passion for Auslan, her PhD, and we also spoke about love, surviving endometriosis, and fertility. To hear that conversation, just scroll back to episode six of season one, and we'll also put the link in the show notes.Today, nearly 18 months on, Emma and I speak about what her life is following her departure from The Wiggles. We speak about her new character, Emma Memma, and what it's like to be on the precipice of handing in her PhD. We also speak about her marriage to new husband Olly, and her plans for the future.We're just quickly interrupting this episode to let you know that we're delighted that Emma's bonus episode of Talking Pointes is sponsored by Energetiks.

You were newly engaged to Olly, and happily dancing as a Wiggle.EW: That's so long ago. It feels like a whole nother lifetime ago now.CL: Yeah. I think our chat was sort of mid-2021, so we were in the deep dark Sydney lockdown. A few things have changed since then.EW: Yeah, lots of things have changed, and it really does feel like a completely different chapter now.CL: I bet. Can you talk us through, I assume, an epic decision to leave The Wiggles? Can you talk us through the decision-making process and your head space leading up to that call?EW: I think through the lockdown, multiple times, I had a lot of time to focus on my thesis, which essentially was going on the whole time I was touring and performing. It's been part of my life for most of the time anyway. But because we weren't touring as much, I did have a little bit more time to sit and think, and reflect, and write. It really started to make sense for me that this particular part of research that I had been embarking on was needing to be finished. Probably 18 months ago when we spoke last time, it probably should have been finished then.CL: How long have you been doing your PhD?EW: I guess when you ask anyone that's doing a PhD, it's a bit more extended than what was originally planned. I'm doing my PhD through Macquarie University, so it's a bundle approach where you do a master's and then you do your PhD.CL: Oh, I see. Yeah.EW: The master's is helpful, yeah, because you're kind of doing a little bit of the PhD first.CL: So you sort of step up. Yeah. Okay.EW: Yeah. Currently, it's probably been about five years altogether, which probably isn't as long as some people do their thesis for. But it does feel like most of the research that we have been doing has been going on for over a decade anyway, so it has been a real conscious decision to put the line down now, which I've been told many times in the last month.CL: When is the line?EW: The line is at the end of March. I feel like I shouldn't say that in case I don't get there.CL: Oh, Dr. Watkins.EW: It feels positive yet. Yeah.CL: Okay, so lockdown happens. It's the first time that really you haven't toured with The Wiggles in almost really a decade. It was an extensive touring program that they had. Is it sort of like COVID gives you this moment to pause?EW: Absolutely. Of course, the pandemic is positive and negative. It has different effects on lots of different people. I really can't talk for everybody, but in terms of my situation and stopping traveling after 10 years constantly, I think my body just didn't know what to do with itself. For the first time, it was like, “I think we're on a body holiday.” That was actually something that I needed so much, but I didn't realize. Not just for a dancer and having a moment to stop, which kind of feels contradictory because you don't really ever want to stop your body, because then sometimes it can go into breakdown, which has happened to me as well, but at times it does release you and give you some sort of freedom to start again. I mean, now, 18 months on … Even just the original stopping during the pandemic, my body felt a sigh of relief, but now, 18 months on, it's completely different again.CL: Is it really? In what way?EW: Look, I'm probably not as fit as I used to be in terms of show fitness, but my body is definitely reacting differently because it's not under pressure of being in a car for a million hours, driving, on a plane every second day. There's definitely something different about … my body feels that it is not as restricted. That, in a way, I feel like I'm learning ballet back at square one. I'm training online with a beautiful teacher over Zoom. Which, we met through the pandemic, over Zoom. I've been training with her ever since. So ever since we started talking, that's when I met her.CL: Wow. So, what, you're taking weekly ballet classes?EW: Essentially, three times a week with her.CL: Wow.EW: Because I live now in the country, which is also very different to where we were 18 months ago in a really tiny apartment in Sydney. Because we were in the lockdown in there, that was a real time. Not for us as a couple, but you just get so cramped if your body can't move more than 10 meters and you can't go outside. I think now that we've moved south of Sydney and we have a little bit of a backyard, it's instantly completely different.CL: Okay, hang on. I feel like we are-EW: I know. Sorry.CL: … PhD. No, we are country moving. It's all the topics I want to hear about. But first of all, let's head back to that word retirement, from The Wiggles. I mean, it's an epic word to say out loud. When did it start creeping in?EW: The word itself?CL: Yeah. Just even to make that announcement or to think this could be a reality.EW: I guess I never thought about the word retirement, even though it was yelled at me over the street. I'd be taking the dogs for a walk and people were like, “Congratulations on your retirement.” I'm like, “Really?” I guess I understand the use of the term because I was stepping away from that particular role. But for me, it more felt like an internship that was really important to the way that I was forming my critical thinking and performance mode. I was like, “Okay, that's that chapter, but I think some of the research that we've been working on is really important, that we need to focus on now so that we can act on it in the future if we ever want to make children's content, or any content, really, for that sake, from this point forward.” So I understand that retirement, I guess it was a bit overused because I'm certainly probably too young to be retired, and couldn't retire anyway. We need to work. Certainly retiring from the role, but it more felt like a chapter, for me.CL: Yeah. Maybe that's a perception from the outside. Because your personality and the character Emma Wiggle, there was so much overlap, that perhaps from the outside, it was like, “How difficult must it have been to step away?” But maybe not so much from the inside.EW: No, definitely hard. Yeah. I think for me as a person and a personal journey, it's taken this long for me to separate myself from that personality as well. You don't realize how inextricably embroiled they become. Because we were so fortunate to bring our own characteristics and hobbies and interests to the role, it was a part of me, and it will always be a part of me. Absolutely.CL: Was it scary?EW: Yeah, I think it always is. We had lots of discussions, particularly with Olly and I. We ended up reflecting on a lot of people in the performance industry, particularly dancers who might have grown up only dancing and having that as their one goal. Because a dancer's life, in some schools of thought, is quite short, when they don't perform anymore, or when they have retired from the company, they're still so young. Because that becomes such a big part of their identity, yeah, how do you move on from that? I think for some people it can be quite debilitating.CL: Oh, absolutely. That passion that they've had, where do they go? Yeah.EW: Yeah. But actually, I think it might be the opposite. I just feel completely free, as in …CL: So good.EW: I feel like, now, there was … There's lots of different thoughts in my head about this next chapter. It's not just specifically about work or career, it's also about having time to spend with family, and having time to spend at home and sit down and have a cup of tea. Some of those things I forgot about over the 10 years. So being able to reconnect with friends that I hadn't seen for over a decade was also something that I never had time for. It's been an eye-opening experience. Also, that we now have time to talk to people. Just take a moment to connect with families, through our work as well, but also in the new neighborhood that we are a part of, and find out what people are really looking for in the world now.CL: Yeah, it's interesting that you say that about the retirement because I suppose you also had a second passion bubbling along in the background with your PhD. Some of the people I've spoken to who have found retirement so difficult is because ballet or dance or performance has been there.EW: Is everything.CL: Yeah, they're everything. And then when they stop or their body stops, where do they put that energy or that passion?EW: Absolutely. Emma Wiggle was everything to me. I didn't think about anything else but her. I was just infatuated with that experience and the journey, and always wanting to try and improve her. I had such a good chunk of time to really work on it, as well. It's not really normal for people to play one character for a decade.CL: Yeah, that's so true, isn't it?EW: Yeah. I had to really think about that as well. It's also not normal to be photographed in the same outfit for decades. I didn't realize that either. So, all of a sudden stepping away from that role, and then initially, obviously, focusing on the thesis. And then all of a sudden being approached to do other projects, and wearing different costumes and being a different … I just was like, “Wow, I didn't know that this was possible.”CL: You step away to do the PhD or to focus more on the PhD, does Emma Memma feature in that thought process?EW: Not at the time when I stepped away. We knew that … One of the outcomes of the research is to practically put in place what we've been researching.CL: Okay, can you summarize?EW: Yeah.CL: Just for your supervisor's approval. What is your PhD looking into?EW: My supervisor's going to be crying right now. I love her to pieces. She's the best thing since slice bread. For some reason I can't articulate it, which is probably the reason why it's still going. My PhD is about creative integration of dance, sign language, and film editing. Really, it's about a comparison between people who use sign language and people who might grow up as trained dancers, and what are the similar skills that they both have? Sometimes they are in our subconscious or they're not known, they become techniques of intuition. Essentially, we have really similar qualities, but there is not a lot of crossover between people who use sign language and dance, and not a lot of dancers who use sign language.But I feel like it's really silly, this is not in the PhD, the word silly, I feel like it's really strange that we don't have more crossover in those fields because we could really learn from each other. From a dancer's point of view … This is too long, obviously, for a clarification. For a dancer's point of view, if your career is very short, then you can apply your skills as visual detailed professionals to be learning sign language, and actually help in the workforce where we have such a lack currently right now in the deaf workplace.CL: As you say that, I'm thinking of those classic scenes from the ballet where the princess comes on. She invites the entire courtroom to dance. And then there's that classic arms above your head, spin the-EW: Yes, roly-poly.CL: Roly-poly.EW: Yeah, “Come and dance with us.”CL: “Come and dance with me.” And then there's the bow to say, “Thanks, everyone.” You're so right, they communicate through their use of their hands, their arms, their face. And yet, why is that not translated into skills with Auslan? Because actually-EW: Unbelievable.CL: Yeah. I mean, of course, I imagine people who are hearing impaired completely understand what those dancers are gesturing, but why wouldn't we integrate that?EW: One of the challenges is music. I think music becomes a really big barrier for both sides. People that are deaf and people that are hearing, I think people that are hearing, this is a generalization, will think that it's not possible for somebody who's deaf to join in. Whereas people that are deaf don't really … There are some schools of thought that music isn't part of the community, but that actually is not quite true for everybody. It's not really about music in the aural sense, but music is actually movement. Even if you were playing an instrument, you have to move your body to play the instrument. Essentially, my argument is that, “Music is movement, so let's get rid of the barrier, bring down the wall, and let's have a party because we know things that each other knows. We use them without thinking about it, so let's embrace it.”CL: Emma Memma is your new children's character that you have launched. Did she evolve out of the PhD as almost like a test case?EW: Yes, that's right. Yep.CL: That's your data collection, isn't it?EW: Yeah.CL: I love that.EW: Yes, Emma Memma is an outcome of the thesis, but it wasn't known to me at the time when I decided to leave. I just knew that I needed to do the thesis, essentially.CL: With Emma Memma, what are you hoping to bring to your audiences with her?EW: It's really interesting that we're even doing this interview at the time because I'm definitely writing the thesis now. I'm definitely a hundred pages in. It's-CL: This is a discussion, right?EW: I really honestly feel that this is just a piece of sand in a very big beach. I don't think that Emma Memma solves all the problems for integrating these visual elements. The reason why we chose this avenue is because, A, we have experience in children's entertainment, but B, also because it's the easiest platform to try a very simplistic test. With Emma Memma, some of our music, well most, is only based on two words and two signs. You can't really do a test without having such strict controls. Again, I'm talking about a test, but it's not really. We have given ourselves the boundary to create music with very little English, spoken English or sung English, so that we can make sure that the sign that's matching it is completely understood. And then we just go from there. So all of the songs on our first album … We only have two.CL: So Wednesday and Wombat, and then going on an airplane. Okay, I'm starting to see the theme here.EW: Yeah. There's some reviews like, “Ah, why is this so simple? It's so boring.” I completely understand that viewpoint, but that was actually our goal. We're like, “How simple do we need to go for everyone to understand this sign?”CL: Wow.EW: Essentially. Yeah.CL: I love that. That the songs are too simple, and you're like, “No, no, no, no, no. This is for the PhD.”EW: Yeah, this is a goal. What's interesting touring … we're not really touring, but performing in front of a group of people, which at most times was only about a hundred people at a time, just so that we could … I mean, for me, all I'm doing is watching people. In that space of time, which might have been an hour, we were doing a few songs and then meeting every single family that was in the room. For most of the time, it just shocked me how many people in the audience picked up the signs straight away without knowing the song. That's the key. Because all of these songs that we've put out in the last 12 months are not very … It's not widespread. A lot of people don't know them. It's not like singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” or “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” a nursery rhyme that is quite common.We were bringing completely new songs to an audience that some of the people obviously had listened because they had followed us, but some people, you think parents, particularly dads who … they just happened to be there, they obviously are not listening to me on social media, and that is fine. But in the space of the room, they could join in because they knew that it was only one or two signs, and then did it straight away. That's what I was watching the whole time. I was like, “Wow, everyone's copying.” It's only two signs. And then, for us, it's really about that movement or that dance choreography that's embedded in Emma Memma, or in any of the songs, is actually a sign. It's not just an irrelevant dance move. That's become very clear to me over the last 12 months.CL: Sorry. I remember in our last chat you had said … I think it was that you were hopeful that every person could just sign, “Do you need help?”EW: Yeah. We haven't done that song.CL: Yeah, that's the next album.EW: See how many words that is, do you … Yes.CL: You can't get to four yet.EW: Not yet.CL: Was it hard? I mean, you came into The Wiggles in an established brand, and then you sort of took it to far higher highs with Emma. Was it a tricky process or was it difficult to launch from scratch on your own?EW: I've actually just found it really interesting. I guess I don't really have any expectations of being some sort of a success, or worldwide success. It's not really about that for us. It really-CL: Kind of surprising to hear you say that because you're obviously so well loved around the world as Emma Wiggle. No thoughts that it might go well?EW: I mean, we'd love it to, but I think that's got to be dependent on whether the content is usable. Yeah, of course, we totally could have decided to just do children's entertainment for the sake of it, or work in any other region. I mean, what's interesting about the last year was that I worked on so many different projects that weren't even related to children's entertainment. I went back and taught at my high school. I was tutoring online. I've been doing sign language interpreting course. I was so lucky to do Lego Masters. None of that stuff is in the same region, really.CL: No. And then you did The Masked Singer. You've done Reef School.EW: Yeah, Reef School. Some really beautiful projects that that's also been alongside this. This really, it has been such an amazing, I guess it's almost like a workshop. Honestly, we've met some incredible families that I guess have been hungry for some content that provides accessibility within their family structure. We met a beautiful … we met lots of amazing families, but we met a family in Perth. The grandmother came with her grandchildren. I think she came with her daughter as well. She was signing to our deaf consultant who was there, Sue. Sue was horridly waving at me across the room. I came over, and then we were signing with the grandmother. The grandmother signed to me. She's like, “You have no idea, I've not been able to watch a show with my grandchild prior to this.” I was like, “Oh, wow, that means a lot.” I think that's something that hasn't left us, because now we've realized how important it is to embed sign language foundation in this movement. Because it should be. It just doesn't make sense to me why it …CL: Are you fully fluent in Auslan?EW: No, but I have … That was very quick, wasn't it? I don't know if you can … You'd have to be signing for decades, I think. I just know so many people who sign beautifully that I wouldn't be able to call myself fluent. But I have my diploma in Auslan, and I'm doing my interpreter's course. Essentially, one of the criteria is fluency, so I can have a conversation quite easily. All of our classes are in sign language for three hours at a time.CL: Wow.EW: So yes, we can converse in sign language, as we should be able to, but I still forget signs. I can't express myself sometimes. I think that's the frustration with being a student. Maybe ask me again in 10 years.CL: What actually sparked your initial interest in signing and Auslan as a non-deaf person?EW: Yeah, that's a good question. I've been asked that question a lot this year. Because mostly, people are exposed to somebody that is deaf through their family. 95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents. So for those parents, that's the first deaf person they might meet. The reality is quite weird, but there are lots of people who learn sign language just because they are interested in the culture and the community. I happened to have a friend at my primary school, we were probably about seven or eight, and her brothers are deaf. We would go to their house and play. That's my first exposure to sign language. I think I was just infatuated with it then. Because I was like, “Oh, what are they saying? What are they doing?” Watching my best friend sign to them, I was like, “Oh, can you show me?” so it just really snowballed from there.I tried to learn sign language through high school, and after high school and through touring. It was so difficult because you needed to be there in person. I'd enrolled so many times and wasn't able to complete the course because I then went away on tour. So through the pandemic, again, another really strange positive to this story, was that the course was changed to be online. Then I completed an assessment test and was really, I guess, quite lucky, because I'd also been continuing discussions with my deaf friends and my deaf network. So I didn't have to start from scratch. I was able to go to certificate three and four and do them at the same time. And then did my diploma. And then here we are in the interpreter's course.CL: It's so incredible what you're going to bring to that community, but also to the entertainment and the dance community. It's just so incredible because, actually, you're bringing something to both. Actually, it's funny that you just mentioned dance [inaudible 00:26:35]. As I was looking at all the things that you've done last year, and especially going on The Masked Singer, remember our chat about all your auditions singing? I just was actually … I had a wry smile, and I thought, “Now you're being really recognized as a singer.”EW: Okay, this is just … Okay, when they approached me to do The Masked Singer, I was like, “Great. I think I can do that in the mask because then I don't have to face anyone.” The whole time we were filming, I was nervous as ever, but I knew that nobody knew who I was. Well, that's what I thought, but obviously I was way too obvious. And that's okay. That's okay. I wasn't clever enough to change my voice because I was so stressed about the singing, and that's fine. But then when you take the mask off, the head off, I didn't remember that you had to sing. So when I was revealed and I took the mask off, having a chat with Osher, and like, “Everything's cool,” then they're like, “Okay, here's the microphone,” I think I did nearly wee my pants, and I wasn't really ready. Yeah, I wasn't ready.CL: So you thought the zombie head was just hiding your …EW: Absolutely.CL: But it was so cute because you had the turned out little first position.EW: So silly. Why did I do that? Why? I look back now, I'm like, “What was I doing? Why?”CL: Personal life. Obviously huge amounts of change as well since we last spoke. You've married Olly. Can you tell us about that day?EW: Well, it was pretty lovely. But as Olly and I are, we're pretty casual. The wedding was in very regional Victoria at a homestead that was quite close to Olly's grandfather, who was the eldest participant at our wedding. We wanted to make sure he could be there, so we were asking a lot of other people, friends and family, to travel past Warrnambool, which is very far away in our eyes, when you live in Sydney. Or Brisbane for that matter. It was just a lovely … It was just a really lovely day. It just felt like a garden lunch.CL: You've moved out of Sydney.EW: We have.CL: Good? What's it like?EW: It's so good. We've moved to the Southern Highlands to a place called Robertson. I guess I can probably name the town because it sounds like everybody knows that I live here now.CL: Yeah, I think it's fairly widely reported in the media, I've got to say.EW: It is such a beautiful part of the country. We moved down here for so many different reasons, but my parents are down here, my sister's down here. We're all a lot closer than we were before. Particularly after the tour, we wanted to make sure that we could see each other more often. And we love animals and nature, and we do have lots of animals at home. Yeah, it's basically a farm stay.CL: Wow. Was there any adjustment moving out of the city?EW: You don't realize how weird it is until you go back to the city. During 2022, I was driving to Sydney to do some filming and some work, The Masked Singer and the like.CL: Oh, yeah. Yeah.EW: Every time I drove into Sydney, my shoulders would raise up near my ears. I'm like, “Oh, the traffic and people.” I just became a grandmother instantly, within about two months. I was like, “There's so many people.” You just don't …CL: So noisy, no parking.EW: The Robertson post shop is basically the highlight of my life, where you can drive straight up to it and walk in and talk to the person and then drive away. There's no line. There's no issue. You get parking every time. You don't have to even pay for parking. It's completely different.CL: And then you said at the start when we were chatting that you thought your body had gone through a sort of … Did you say breakdown since …EW: Oh, as in it had a break. My body was happy. But then it also, I think as dancers have, when you're not doing as much as you used to do physically, your body starts to go into a bit of … I can't describe it. I've basically realized that my feet strength and some of my bones were starting to have a moment. I do now have arthritis in one of my feet.CL: Do you?EW: It's actually starting to heal, surprisingly. So I think it was just a moment where it was like, “We need to stop. Now we're going to turn into a snowman, and now we're okay.”CL: Also, you were touring eight plus months a year and performing every day. I mean, there's just no way you can even maintain any training regime.EW: You can't.CL: You can't maintain.EW: You actually can't.CL: No.EW: No, it's just not possible. But obviously, now, with a different training regime, not doing as much physical things that I was doing before, but different things that are helping my body stay at least flexible and strong, my body's so different. My body's moving better now than it was before.CL: Really?EW: And I'm just not moving it as much as I used to.CL: Wow. And the endometriosis?EW: Well, that's the same thing. It's just unbelievable.CL: Is it really?EW: I must have had so much stress on my body, not just physically doing things, but I think that the traveling was really knocking my body around. Of which I kind of knew, but didn't really know. It was only sometimes in the last year when I'd catch a plane. I haven't really been on a plane that much in the last 12 months. And then getting off the plane and my body absolutely going into meltdown.CL: Really?EW: Like, “Wow, okay. It really doesn't like a plane.” So now I know that it doesn't like a plane.CL: Right. That extended sitting and just everything that comes with that.EW: I think it's the pressure. I think it's the cabin pressure. Yeah. So now, again, there's more controls. Now I can actually work out what the problem … what setting it off all the time.CL: You've got that time to watch how your body responds.EW: You've got that time to have a moment after a plane. Whereas before, I'd get off the plane, and then instantly be on stage. My body would be like, “Help, help, help, help.”CL: Wow.EW: But now I know what's going on. Obviously, I've got on a plane this year. It's okay. You just have to manage it and know. You just have to be nice to yourself.CL: Yeah. I often thought of that when the Emma Memma costume launched. I remember you saying when … Emma Wiggles costume, none of us knew that you had endometriosis. And I don't think you knew.EW: No.CL: So just managing that behind the scenes in a career that is so performance based.EW: Yeah. My costume is a lot cooler now. It's just a whole different material.CL: Perfect. Breathable.EW: It's amazing. Yeah. Completely different. Yeah.CL: Amazing. What are your hopes for this year?EW: Oh, there's so many hopes. I mean, the first hope is submitting the thesis.CL: Dr. Watkins. I love it.EW: Oh, I can't even think about it. I just know that it's going to come back with revisions. That's okay. You just have to accept that. It's not about that. It's just about doing a good job in terms of presenting the research. So that hopefully we can build on it in the future, or it helps other people acquire some other skills. But for Emma Memma, we're hoping to film our very first TV series, as in a long-form TV series. So we've been in lots of different discussions with different parties across the world. It's just been trying to make the right decision about who we might want to partner with, that's going to understand the nuances of sign languages around the world as well. We want to make sure that we partner with the right people.CL: Because around the world, they don't speak Auslan. Auslan is …EW: Auslan is only used in Australia. There are some similarities with New Zealand sign language and British sign language. But for most of it, that's the beauty about sign language because the culture is embedded in the language. You can see the different culture when you watch different sign languages across the world. So that's really important for us. But also, we are very, very fortunate. We're in a pre-literal audience space where we can use iconic shapes as well, gestures, mime, dance. So that mixture and that balance is what we're trying to write now into proper video scripts to prepare us for a TV series. Yeah.CL: Wow. Any other post-doctoral …EW: What do you do with it? I mean, again, all of the research that's part of the PhD is really informing us about Emma Memma, but also other projects. We have been very fortunate, again, to be approached to do lots of different creative collaborations. As soon as I receive any kind of email, you just look at it straight away and you're like, “Is this accessible to my friend?” And then that gives us a really good indication about whether we should choose it or not as well. I wouldn't want to do anything that … For example, Sue, my friend, I wouldn't want to do anything that she couldn't have access to as well. That's really important for me.CL: Wow. This is a strange question to perhaps end with, but you are just such a delight. Every time I've spoken with you, had any interaction, the way that you must have to hold yourself when you're in public because children recognize you. Does Emma Watkins ever have a moment of angst? Do you get cranky, Emma?EW: I really only get upset if my animals are sick. I literally go to the goats every morning. If one of them's having a moment, I come, I'm like, “Why are they sick?” That's really my only moment of frustration is having animals that are sick when I don't know what's gone wrong.CL: Wow. Because you just seem to have such a positive outlook on life. You have such … it would seem, such beautiful relationships with everyone that you deal with. It's just, what an asset to all the communities that you work with.EW: Thank you. I guess we can't really complain. We're very lucky.CL: Emma Watkins, thank you so much. I can't wait to see what you do this year. Just all the best for you and Olly as well.EW: Thank you so much.CL: If you'd like to hear more about Emma's life, you can find our full conversation in the show notes.

"Introduction to Layering"

In this episode, Jacob and Stephen sit down with Ed to discuss the basics of layering and how proper layering can protect you from harsh enviroments.  Educational Details on Layering: Base Layer - Broken down into 2 categories Synthetic and Natural (and blend) Insulation Layer - The insulation layer can be broken down into many different layers and multiple insulation layers can be worn at the same time Shell Layer - For Rain/Snow/Wind BASE LAYER: The base layer is a very important layer in this process. The reason for a base layer is to remove moisture from your skin and transport away from your body for evaporation. Due to this process the fabric needs to be in contact with the skin. The more contact the better (think skintight). This process is best demonstrated by the feeling you get when you step out of the shower. The water is evaporating off your skin and taking your body heat with it. However, if we use this base layer to transport the moisture (sweat) off the skin it will then evaporate off the fabric. There are two categories of base layers Synthetic and Natural. Just like anything in life, there are pros and cons of each. (There are blends of synthetic and natural that try to give you the best of both worlds) Light (125-200 grams) Mid (200-300 grams) Heavy (300+ grams) Examples: The Army has used the ECWCS (Extended/Extreme Cold Weather Clothing System) for several years and multiple generations have been made. The newest generation features 7 different layer options. The Base layer has two options level 1 Silk weight and level 2 Heavy weight. These are often found in surplus and usually inexpensive. Varusteleka makes a light and heavy weight layers Any of the quality hunting brands (Sitka Gear, Kuiu, UnderArmor, etc.) Other outdoor brands (Outdoor Research, Arcteryx, etc.) INSULATION LAYER: The Insulation Layer works by trapping pockets of air next to your body. Air is a poor conductor of heat and therefore ideal, specially because air is very lightweight. The air contained in this area will block heat from escaping. Examples: Polar Fleece Polar fleece is probably what comes to mind when hear “fleece”. It is used as an umbrella. It is made in varying weights and is commonly used in colder climates. It dries quickly and does not get saturated with water. It is common to see Windproof Fleece, and some also have DWR finish for water repellency. Micro Fleece Micro Fleece is as the name implies. It is more light weight and is therefore more breathable than polar fleece. Though that does mean it gives up some insulating value. Stretch Fleece Stretch Fleece is common in active wear like gym clothes. It isn't, generally, something we would buy a whole jacket or pants in. However, companies often sew some panels of this onto other clothes for articulation. Down Vs Synthetic Down and Synthetic down are popular insulation materials. Both are warm, light, and often pack down very small. There are some significant tradeoffs between the two. Down Real goose down holds the most warmth per weight More packable Doesn't perform well when wet Not as Breathable Synthetics Maintains loft when wet Regulates temperature better Cheaper than down SHELL LAYER: The Shell Layer provides us with a barrier for harsh weather. These fabrics are often wind and waterproof. Goretex is the most common fabric used for a shell. Goretex is a laminate waterproof yet microporous membrane. It is very thin, and the idea is, it will let water vapor out while not allowing water to get in. Not all Goretex is made the same. These fabrics are usually categorized by the number of layers used. Examples 2L Uses a two-layer sandwich of face fabric with the GORE membrane laminated to it on the inside plus a non-laminated lining layer — often mesh, nylon or microfiber that serves to protect the GORE membrane and create a comfortable feel inside the jacket. GORE-TEX 2L can be paired with insulation and is generally warmer, heavier, and less expensive than 3L or 2.5L versions. 2.5L Uses a two-layer sandwich of a face fabric with the GORE membrane laminated to it plus a spray-on or printed backer on the inside. This “half layer” on the inside appears almost unnoticeable but adds durability to the membrane. 2.5L GORE-TEX is the lightest of the three traditional GORE waterproof, breathable constructions. 3L Uses a full three-layer sandwich of a face fabric+membrane+knit backer — all laminated together. GORE-TEX 3L construction is the classic unlined, uninsulated, high performance shell design. Despite its three-layer name, it feels like a single layer. It's the most durable of the three constructions and is lighter than 2L. There are a couple others that pop up Gore Pro and Gore Infinium. Gore Pro is more durable than the 3L. Gore Pro is broken into categories itself; Rugged, Stretch, and Breathable. Summed up Gore Pro is set to have more stretch and be more breathable than normal Goretex. Gore Infinium is a windstopper fabric that is only water resistant but is highly breathable.

How Mold Affects Muscle Tissue with Hashimoto's with Jill Crista ND

There's a plethora of health problems associated with mold exposure, one of them no one talks about, which is mold diminishes our ability to maintain our muscle tissue. Since mold exposure symptoms are almost identical to the symptoms of Hashimoto's, mold symptoms can be hard to diagnose. The design of your home significantly impacts the potential for mold growth. Breathable building materials and dehumidifiers will help a lot. However, you must stay vigilant because mold can creep up nearly anywhere.About Dr. Jill CristaDr. Jill Crista ND is a naturopathic physician in southwest Wisconsin. Her practice focuses on taking on patients suffering from the effects of mold exposure and Lyme disease. She's on a mission to educate the public about the dangers of water damage and mold to keep them and their families safe and healthy.Mold is Everywhere, But it Doesn't Mean You Should Suffer From ExposureEven the most common molds can have negative health impacts. The factors behind how mold affects different people include the size of the dose, duration, and susceptibility. Even your genetic makeup and your nutrient intake are also factors. Discovering mold in your home can be devastating. A proper mold inspector, remediation, and cleaning afterward are very expensive. Moving is seldom an option unless you have the financial means. But living with constant exposure will take its toll, especially for the ladies with Hashimoto's. There are steps you can take to help. From not storing cardboard in the cellar to building with specialized materials, you can make it harder for mold to take hold in the first place.Mold's Effects on Your HealthSince mold toxins are fat-soluble, they can travel nearly anywhere in the body. This can create a whole host of symptoms. For this reason, mold exposure can be challenging to diagnose correctly. Even anxiousness, ear-ringing, and pelvic pain can be a result. With so many possible effects, you and your doctor must discover how mold impacts your health.Mold will even impact your muscles. Since many mold mycotoxins act as protein synthesis inhibitors, your muscles may not recover after they break down. That's why mold exposure directly contributes to the loss of muscle mass. While all this can seem frightening, Dr. Crista shares some steps you can take immediately to get back on track.Have you had to deal with toxic mold exposure?
