Clara Parkes became many knitters' guiding light and best friend when she launched Knitter's Review in 2000. One of the early standouts in the early online knitting landscape, the site developed a devoted following for its in-depth, objective yarn reviews and lively forums. Several years after the site's inception, she began writing books, starting with The Knitter's Book of Yarn, which was followed by The Knitter's Book of Wool and The Knitter's Book of Socks. As she explored the yarn industry, Clara carefully maintained a journalist's independence, taking readers along with her as she learned how the yarns we love come to be. After her first three books, which were large-format, full-color, and featured a number of designs, her following works have been memoirs of her literal and metaphorical travels or in-depth narratives reporting about the yarn world. In 2012, she launched the Great White Bale, a combination small-batch yarn experiment and behind-the-scenes tour of the remaining American wool industry, for which she purchased a very special bale of wool and reported on its progress through the process of becoming yarn. In recent years, she has created several online communities: The Wool Channel, which is devoted to celebrating wool, and The Daily Respite, which offers a moment of wonder and calm each morning. Clara invites knitters and readers to join her in exploring the ways in which wool is a force for good in the world, and how crafters can join in its support.

La científica Michele Dougherty hace historia como la primera mujer Astrónoma Real del Reino Unido Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo La física espacial Michele Dougherty ha sido nombrada la primera Astrónoma Real en 350 años. Su trabajo reveló indicios de vida en una luna de Saturno. El Reino Unido acaba de nombrar, por primera vez en tres siglos y medio, a una mujer como Astrónoma Real. La profesora Michele Dougherty, nacida en Sudáfrica y actual experta en física espacial del Imperial College London, fue quien lideró investigaciones que descubrieron géiseres de agua en Encelado, una de las lunas de Saturno. Ese hallazgo hizo pensar a la comunidad científica que podría haber vida en ese lugar. Además, dirige instrumentos a bordo de la sonda JUICE, rumbo a las lunas heladas de Júpiter.¿Qué significa su nombramiento en un cargo históricamente reservado a hombres blancos? Nunca estudió ciencias en el colegio, ni pensaba hacerlo. Michele Dougherty nació en Sudáfrica, en una familia con herencia inglesa e irlandesa. Cuando tenía 10 años, su padre construyó un telescopio en el jardín. Ella y su hermana ayudaron a mezclar el cemento de la base. A través de ese telescopio vio por primera vez los anillos de Saturno y las lunas de Júpiter. Pero, en esa época, ni siquiera pensaba dedicarse a la ciencia. En su adolescencia eligió un colegio donde no enseñaban física ni química, solo por estar con sus amigas. Aun así, era muy buena en matemáticas. Por eso, más adelante, fue admitida en una universidad para estudiar ciencias. Aprendió desde cero, con esfuerzo y constancia, hasta convertirse en una de las científicas más importantes del Reino Unido. Durante siglos, la ciencia fue un mundo cerrado para muchas personas. El cargo de Astrónomo Real se creó en 1675, cuando el rey Carlos II de Inglaterra inauguró el Observatorio Real de Greenwich. Desde entonces, 15 hombres lo habían ocupado. Nunca una mujer. Y mucho menos alguien que, de niña, no estudió ciencia en el colegio. Michele Dougherty rompió esa barrera, pero su propio deseo es que el reconocimiento no sea solo por ser mujer, sino por lo que ha logrado. Su trabajo en la sonda Cassini descubrió chorros de agua saliendo de Encelado, indicando actividad geológica y condiciones que podrían albergar vida. También lidera el magnetómetro de la misión JUICE, que va a estudiar Ganimedes, la luna más grande del sistema solar. Dougherty teme que la financiación de la ciencia se vea afectada por inestabilidad política y económica. Por eso, quiere usar este cargo para hablar con la gente sobre por qué la ciencia importa. Como Astrónoma Real, Dougherty no manejará el observatorio ni trazará rutas marítimas usando las estrellas, como en el siglo XVII. El cargo se volvió honorífico desde 1972. Pero sí tendrá una función pública: inspirar, explicar, comunicar la importancia de la astronomía. “Quiero entusiasmar al público y hacerles ver que la astronomía afecta nuestra vida diaria”, dijo en una entrevista. Su nombramiento coincide con un cambio cultural en la ciencia británica. Desde 2021, Catherine Heymans ya ocupaba el cargo de Astrónoma Real de Escocia, y ahora ambas representan a todo el Reino Unido. Dougherty es también presidenta electa del Instituto de Física, profesora en Imperial College y presidenta del Consejo de Infraestructura Científica del Reino Unido. En todos esos roles, su mensaje es claro: la ciencia debe abrirse, debe explicarse, y debe entusiasmar a los niños y niñas que nunca se vieron a sí mismos como científicos. La sonda Cassini, de la NASA, operó desde 1997 hasta 2017. Dougherty se unió al proyecto en 1992, como investigadora del instrumento de campo magnético. En 2005, notó una pequeña anomalía en los datos cuando Cassini sobrevoló Encelado. Insistió en volver a pasar cerca del polo sur de la luna, a pesar de las dudas de los líderes del proyecto. Y acertó: descubrieron un chorro de vapor de agua. Ese hallazgo cambió la visión que teníamos sobre las lunas heladas del sistema solar. Desde entonces, Encelado se considera uno de los lugares más prometedores para buscar vida. Ahora, su nuevo proyecto es JUICE, una misión de la Agencia Espacial Europea lanzada en 2023, que llegará a Júpiter en 2031. La nave estudiará si Ganimedes tiene un océano bajo su superficie. Dougherty diseñó el magnetómetro que viajará a bordo. La ciencia que lidera desde Londres está cambiando lo que sabemos sobre el sistema solar. Michele Dougherty fue nombrada Astrónoma Real del Reino Unido, tras 350 años de historia masculina. Su trabajo sobre Encelado y Ganimedes transformó la exploración espacial.Sigue más historias como esta en el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify.

Luxury, Innovation, and Popcorn? Yes, Please. On this Trending Tuesday episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I'm spilling the popcorn on a jaw-dropping new addition to one of my longtime favorite iconic hotels, the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut. Shawn Nayyar, the hotel's new General Manager, joined me in studio to talk about the Townsend Cinema, a first-of-its-kind 40-seat luxury movie theater built right inside the hotel—a concept developed by Monoplex and Trinity Investments, now brought to life at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. "We're the first in the country to have this kind of cinema experience inside a hotel—and the response has been incredible." – Shawn Nayyar You can sip cocktails, eat gourmet truffle popcorn, and watch first-run movies like Superman and Fantastic Four—in heated recliners! (I'm a heated seat girl. I'm all in!” LOL) Why It's a Big Deal: First-run movies play the same day as nationwide theaters. Heated leather recliners, Dolby surround sound & a full menu. Drinks & gourmet snacks from the newly renovated café and bar. Revitalizes underused hotel space Draws both locals & travelers It's already increasing traffic and revenue across hotel services Fun Fact: The luxury theater was once just a rarely used auditorium. “This idea is going to revolutionize unused hotel space across the country—and maybe the world.” – Debbie Nigro Peek Behind the Scenes: Shawn Nayyar has managed 15+ hotels and relocated from Dallas, Texas, to lead the $40M transformation of the Greenwich Hyatt. The property still retains nods to its Condé Nast publishing days, with engraved pillars featuring iconic magazine titles. Before becoming a hotel, the property housed Conde Nast's printing presses, which produced magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and House and Garden The atrium is filled with live plants, giving a “feel like you're outside, even in winter” vibe.

Hazel Tindall can't remember a time before she knew how to knit. Hazel learned to knit when knitting for sale was the only way that women earned money, when a job outside the home in town was too far to travel. Although her mother found knitting a chore, Hazel liked it, not only knitting sweater yokes for sale but exploring yarns and designs from outside her local sphere. When knitting was work, knitters put down their needles on Sundays, but in time knitting became a pleasure rather than a job for Hazel. She started knitting every day of the week. Eventually she began selling for sale not just sweaters but also designs for sweaters, vests, gloves, hats, and other colorwork designs. Loving color, she avoids sludgy color combinations in favor of bright hues. One member of the Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers & Dyers read about a World's Fastest Knitter competition, and the group believed that they could do better than the current standard. Hazel was found to be the fastest knitter in the group, so off she went to the contest, winning the title. Later, she traveled to Minnesota to defend the title; to her knowledge, she hasn't been beaten!

In a fiery "Call of the Day," a disgusted fan named Tony from Lodi unleashes a passionate rant against the New York Mets, labeling them the "most unlikable" team in years and criticizing their poor performance despite early wins. He targets manager Mendoza for a lack of passion and calls out star player Lindor for his recent batting struggles and demeanor. The conversation expands to include Neil from Greenwich and Anthony from Bridgewater, who join in to rip the team's construction under Sterns, the inadequacy of the pitching staff, and the need for immediate, significant roster changes, expressing frustration with the team's prospects and their inability to compete with top rivals like the Phillies and Braves.
When it comes to our perception of pirates, Treasure Island has a lot to answer for.

The Royal Observatory at Greenwich has been one of the most important skywatching sites in history – not so much for what it told us about the stars, but for its role right here on Earth. Its location marked the starting point for measuring longitude – the position east and west on the globe. It also marked the time standard for the entire world: Greenwich Mean Time. The observatory was established on today’s date in 1675, by King Charles II. It was built on a hill near London, overlooking the Thames. Greenwich was created to provide highly accurate maps of the stars, and to measure the motions of the Sun, Moon, and planets. The work was designed to help sailors determine their longitude. Establishing longitude at sea was extremely difficult – and dangerous; many ships crashed because their navigators didn’t know where they were. The observations also played a key scientific role: they helped confirm that the motions of the Sun, Moon, and planets were governed by Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity. In 1833, the observatory began a “time service.” It dropped a ball from a tall pole at precisely 1 p.m. That allowed mariners to set their clocks before they sailed. Greenwich later transmitted the time to the whole country by telegraph, then radio. The observatory was moved in the 20th century, and closed in 1998. Today, the Greenwich site is a museum – preserving an important part of world history. Script by Damond Benningfield

Episode 171: For today's guest episode it is a warm welcome to Stephen Watkins who is going to take us a little way forward in the timeline to the world of Restoration England where after fourteen years of closures theatres were again legally opened and where, as we shall hear, performance of Shakespeare plays formed a significant part of the repertoire, and this discussion does focus very much on Shakespeare in the Restoration, we will, of course, get to a look at the other playwrights and players of that period all in good time.Stephen Watkins is a writer and researcher working mainly on Shakespeare and Early Modern literature, with a particular focus on how writers and theatre makers recycle, adapt and remediate source texts to both register and resist historical and cultural change. He has published widely on Restoration adaptations of Shakespeare and the important figure of that time, William Davenant. His book ‘Shakespeare and the Restoration Repertory', as part of the Cambridge University Press, ‘Elements in Shakespeare Performance' series was published in February 2025. In it Stephen demonstrates how Davenant's adaptations of Shakespeare were shaped as much by the transformed commercial and repertorial logics that came to govern the patent companies in the 1660s as they were by shifting aesthetic and political concerns in the period. Stephen has taught English at the Universities of Oxford, Nottingham, and Derby, and is currently based at the University of Greenwich.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shakespeare-Restoration-Repertory-Elements-Performance/dp/1009324136/ref=sr_1_1?https://www.amazon.com/Shakespeare-Restoration-Repertory-Elements-Performance-ebook/dp/B0F29S1NJ1/ref=sr_1_1?Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

"Taking the underground announcements and creating the echoing effects that you often hear in the tunnels of the underground using dub techniques." Greenwich tunnel, London reimagined by Dubberrookie.
A walk along the Greenwich foot tunnel right underneath the River Thames. We descend in the lift, hearing the announcements, and walk the length of the long concrete tunnel, hearing cyclists whizz past and catching snippets of conversation from passing pedestrians, before emerging at the exit at the other end. Recorded by Cities and Memory.
I've been viewing houses this past fortnight, so I thought I'd share my anecdotal 2p on the state of the London property market.I'm looking in Brockley, SE4, which, if you don't know it, used to be rough AF, but is now where all the cool kids are. The area has benefited from the various London rail line extensions – you can be in Shoreditch or Canary Wharf in 15 minutes; the Jubilee and Elizabeth lines are a similarly short step away – and that has attracted the slay crew to the area. The road links though are still horrendous though, made worse by 20mph speed limits and bus lane misallocation of essential road space. The drive to west London is interminable.Brockley has a good stock of beautiful detached, semi-detached and terraced Victorian houses. For example: With its proximity to Greenwich and the river docks, it was once a wealthy area, though, like most of south-east London, it got bombed to heck in the war.There are plenty of nice parks too. One of them, Hilly Fields, was modelled on Hampstead Heath, and there are many gorgeous houses in the roads running off it. Not quite Hampstead gorgeous, but getting there.Brockley also has the highest density of cemeteries in London, if you fancy dying any time soon, it's highly convenient. It is, I gather, London's most haunted area.It is only a bit stabby. Nothing like as bad as neighbouring Lewisham. (Maybe “only a bit stabby” will one day become part of estate agents' jargon, perhaps to replace “vibrant”. I can't believe how normalised stabbing now is that I'm talking like that.)The stabbiness is offset, however, by the plethora of nice restaurants, cafés, bars, craft ale breweries, the farmers' market, mini-festivals, pilates studios et al. I understand, in Browns, the area boasts London's best coffee and, in Babur, its best Indian restaurant. (Technically Babur is in Honor Oak, but, like England and many of its foreign sporting greats, we'll claim it as our own.)I shot this vid from the steps up to the station.Brockley feels younger and more up-and-coming than the once-cool areas to the west like Queen's Park, Kensal Rise, Clapham and so on, probably because of its easy access to east London. (A lot of people from Hackney move down here.)I moved here begrudgingly and skint in 2015 and have grown to really like it.But what about the housing market?I've known markets in which estate agents don't give you the time of day, there are so many prospective buyers, but – perhaps because they know I am an unencumbered buyer – the agents are maybe not quite all over me, but certainly on my case: lots of emails, phone calls and the rest of it. That indicates it's more of a buyers' market.But, while I would describe the housing market here as slow, it is not dead. Stuff has been going under offer in the two weeks I've been looking, though rarely at asking.With the costs of moving – Stamp Duty is 10% above £925k, and 12% above £1.5m, plus an extra 5% if you own another property – buyers have got to really want to buy.Sellers, meanwhile, have to really want to sell, which often entails reducing their asking prices. Stuff which is unrealistically priced is staying on the market a long time. Look at this one (actually up the road in Honor Oak):This is a 5,000-square-foot property, not so nice inside, but with access to a 2-acre private garden behind with its own tennis court – quite something in London. From £2.5 million to £1.75 million and they still can't shift it. (It needs a lot of money spending on it.)On the other hand, there don't seem to be many forced sellers – people who can't make their payments – and we won't get any house price crash, long-awaited or not, until that is a reality.I imagine Brockley, as a young, trendy area, is busier than other parts of town, but that is my overall feel: slow, but not dead.I've looked at a few family houses. I can't really comment on flats, but I gather there is an oversupply of 2-bed flats across London, and it is really hard to shift them. I'm not sure if this applies to Brockley or not.It doesn't feel as expensive as it did around 2019–2022 (realised sales prices are a fraction lower, but there is obviously currency debasement to consider too), but nor does it feel super cheap. We're a long way off where we were in, say, 2013, even though grander parts of London – Kensington and Chelsea, for example – are back at those 2013 levels.Where does the housing market go from here? It all depends on two things: interest rates and Stamp Duty.Britain's zombie housing market, brought to you by Stamp Duty.If rates go lower, the market will not collapse. There won't be the forced sellers. We'll continue as we are: stagnant. If rates go higher, the market is in trouble.But get rid of Stamp Duty, and you'd have a flurry of activity across the country tomorrow. People aren't moving because of the amount of dead money involved. Stamp Duty has immobilised the country.If you're buying a two-million-pound house, you will pay £153,750 in stamp duty. Cash. Money you've already paid tax on once. You can't borrow the money. You have to be extremely rich, or extremely desperate for a home, to be willing to pay a £150k one-off tax of this kind. Most would rather avoid paying it, so they don't move.You will pay more if you are not a UK resident.If you happen to own another property – which most people in that wealth bracket will, either their first flat they never sold, a property they inherited, or a home in the country – and the house you are buying is not your main residence, the tax rises to £253,750. A quarter of a million quid.That's why houses in Kensington and Chelsea no longer sell. EDIT: My mate, whose kids have now flown the nest, sent me this: "We live in a 4 floor house, 2 floors we don't use, I haven't been to the top floor for about 5 years (seriously). We would love to move and downsize but makes no sense as the costs of buying a new house would use up all the gain on downsizing . IE We just end up with a smaller house."This happens all the way down the scale. Kirstie Whatsit off the telly was tweeting about it the other day.My mother's friend, who is in her 70s, lives in a 2-bed flat two floors up in Wandsworth worth maybe £700,000. She is worried about climbing the stairs at her age, and wants to move to another 2-bed flat. She will pay £25,000 in Stamp Duty on top of all her other moving costs. She doesn't have 25 grand to throw away.The result is this nearly dead market. Britain's zombie housing market.Stamp Duties were one of the taxes the ignited the American Revolution. If only we had muskets today …The biggest villains in all this are former Chancellor Gordon Brown for first raising Stamp Duty on property transactions (before him it just one per cent on all properties over £60,000), and, worst of all, George Osborne for raising the rates to today's ludicrous levels. Rather than address the root causes of unaffordable housing – fiat money, artificially low interest rates, improper measures of inflation and dumb planning laws – he blamed the market, and attacked it with Stamp Duty. But all of Jeremy Hunt, Rishi Sunak, Sajid Javid, Philip Hammond and Alistair Darling must take their share of the blame for failing to do anything about it, when they had the chance. (We'll give Kwasi Kwarteng and Nadhim Zahawi a pass on the grounds they didn't have the gig for long enough).Osborne, Brown et al have given birth to the zombie situation we have now. They have immobilised the country in the process. Government. Yet again. 0 stars. Would not use again.It's enough to make you a libertarian.

Let Me Be Frank | Bishop Frank Caggiano's Podcast | Diocese of Bridgeport, CT
This Friday, we're taking the show on the road to St Mary's in Greenwich. If you're able to attend on April 11th, please join us at 9:30am as Bishop Frank answers audience questions for a special episode of Let Me Be Frank! Speaking of audience questions… we are diving in to the mailbag this week on Let Me Be Frank. Bishop Frank is on the mend from his 16-day sickness (unprecedented for him, but it gave him a new perspective during Lent), and he is back for a brand new episode. Among the topics... Did you know that God gives each of us two families that work together for our religious formation? What should we call the bishop when we meet him and talk to him in person? Doesn't Luke calling Jesus Mary's “first born son” imply there were more children who followed? Is being left-handed… sinister? Plus… after a long pause, he shares a tip for evangelization. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 44 of That Greenwich Life! This episode marks the final episode of Season One, and I'm taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey this podcast has been.When I launched this show last year, I had no idea what it would become—how many people it would positively impact, how deeply personal it would get, and how much it would push me to grow. Over the past year, I've shared my own stories and the stories of my incredible guests about motherhood, grief, career pivots, personal reinvention, and all the messy, beautiful, complicated moments in between. But as I always say on this show, we have to listen to what's right for us. And right now, I know it's time to pause, reset, and make space for what's next. In this episode, I'm sharing:• Why I'm taking a break—and why pausing is sometimes the most powerful decision.• How stepping away from something can help us grow in new ways—personally, creatively, and professionally.• What's next? I may not have all the answers, but I'm embracing the “we'll see” mindset. Thank You to This Season's Sponsors:I am beyond grateful to the sponsors who made this season possible.

Elizabeth was born at Greenwich in 1533 and was the daughter of the Tudor King Henry VIII by his second wife Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister Queen Mary to the throne in 1558. Elizabeth’s long reign was one of the most brilliant in English history. Referred to as The Golden Age, it is remembered for the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots the year before, and for many important voyages of exploration and discovery to North America. Known as the Virgin Queen, the colony of Virginia along the eastern coast was named after her.

In November, a far right, pro-Russia figure came from almost nowhere to become favourite for the presidency. Calin Georgescu, with no affiliated political party and whose campaign had been largely on social media, won the first round of Presidential elections in Romania. The result sent shockwaves across the continent. But serious allegations surfaced over the legitimacy of Georgescu's campaign, resulting in Romania's Constitutional Court annulling the vote and barring Georgescu from standing. After mass demonstrations across the country, it's clear Romania's political landscape has been upended. Ahead of the rerun of the vote for president on 4 and 18 May, what will happen now with Romania's elections? Will the country lean towards a more nationalist future or back the mainstream parties that were previously in power?Contributors: Veronica Anghel, assistant professor at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at The European University Institute, Italy Oana Popescu-Zamfir, director of the GlobalFocus Center, associated expert at Carnegie Europe and associate researcher for the European Council on Foreign Relations, Romania Dr Radu Cinpoes, associate professor of politics and international relations at the University of Greenwich, United Kingdom Costin Ciobanu, political scientist with Aarhus University, DenmarkPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Vicky Carter Researcher: Katie Morgan Production Co-ordinator: Liam Morrey Technical producer: Nicky Edwards Editor: Tara McDermott

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?
