Philip Lufolk is a blacksmith in Storvik, Sweden inspired by the archeology & mythology of Scandinavia. We begin on the role of the Viking blacksmith & how bog iron was processed.  Philip describes objects & jewelry that he forges based on historical artifacts: the seeress' völva staff; a charm known as a Thor's hammer; a landowner's Viking key; and oath rings inscribed with law. We switch to mythology with the tale of Mjölnir [Thor's hammer] & the rest of the gods' treasures, fashioned by the industrious & highly-skilled dwarves. Then there's the vengeful blacksmith, Völund. We discuss burial mounds & rock art: picture stones, rune stones & a petroglyph just outside of Oslo's city center. Approaching the end Philip tells an archaic divination technique called Årsgång or "The Year Walk." Follow Lufolk on Instagram and check out his wares at Lufolk.com.

The Israeli genocide of Palestinians goes on unabated, but at least in Scandinavia it's "all out in the streets for Palestine."

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the apparent disconnect between what the numbers are telling us about the economy, which is that it is doing pretty well, and the negative view of the economy that is reflected in recent polling and just general sentiment (1:57).  The guys also react to new evidence that confirms that the Vikings were traveling back and forth to North America up to 500 years before Columbus (45:54).

Adam Hart investigates the largest terrestrial member of the weasel family – the wolverine. They're far more than just a superhero played by Hugh Jackman! With a reputation for gluttony and ferocity, these solitary killers use snowstorms to hunt much larger prey. Found in the snowy tundra and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, their future looks uncertain – they've come into conflict with Scandinavian farmers by hunting their reindeer and are threatened by climate change in North America and Mongolia. But have we misunderstood wolverines? And can we learn to co-exist with them? Contributors: Rebecca Watters is founder and director of the Mongolian Wolverine Project, as well as the executive director of the Wolverine Foundation, a non-profit that's dedicated to advancing science-based conservation of wolverines. Jenny Mattisson is a researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, who is involved in the monitoring of wolverines in Scandinavia. She has studied interactions between wolverines and Eurasian lynx, as well as their predation of reindeer.

Step into the shadowy realm of Not A Bomb podcast, where we usually dissect the celluloid carcasses of the biggest cinematic misfires, searching for a glimmer of redemption. Emphasis on "usually," for this time around, one of our own sleuths botched the job, opting for a flick that wasn't just a cash cow but a darling of both critics and the masses.In this Noirvember rendezvous, the fellas welcome back Josh from The VHS Files, delving into the foggy alleys of 2011's neo-noir opus - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Adapted from Stieg Larsson's tome and the 2009 rendition, this remake might just be the elusive phoenix that eclipses its predecessor. Maestro David Fincher paints a chiaroscuro masterpiece against the icy backdrop of Scandinavia, weaving a dark tapestry of neo-noir intrigue.Tune in as the crew navigates the labyrinth of why this film is so explosive, discovering along the way that our host, Brad, is a bit hazy on the premise of his own show. Witness accountability in the dim glow of the studio lights as they unravel the enigma of choices made in the noir shadows.The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) is directed by David FIncher and stars Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgard, Steven Berkoff, Robin Wright, Yorick van Wageningen, and Joely Richardson.

 If I read that women have to cover up their beautiful body to prevent:Lust in the mind of horny malesRaping.Why not punish these rapists?In the UK they found out, that NUDIST BEACHES PREVENT RAPING!!!! In Sparta the males loved more the males than the women! The women worn shirts with an open slot located on the vagina... The Sparta women wanted to have sex and were exposing their vagina all the time!The exposed vagina became boring... I have lived in a French nudist/tantra area for 2 months and the nude girls became boring ...When the girls put on some cloth around their body to cover up their breast and vagina,   they became sexier and more attractive!In Scandinavia even the parents encourage their daughters to invite males in their bed during the night… Because the parents want that their daughter get kids.But the daughters are not interested in having sex. For the males is a bottle whiskey more attractive than the girls!What is not permitted becomes boring! How much prove I should deliver more?Now, we look on the religious aspects:The Religions tell us: 1. To expose our nude body or our sexual organs is sinful.O God, all animals are sinful! Are the people perverse through their religious upbringing?My family was perverse, because we were all nudists?  2. To enjoy sex is bad.For whom, - for the monks, priests and old people? Because they should not/cannot have sex. So, it is also bad for all other people?!I have read the Bible, Hindu and the Islamic scripture …Still, it is correct that the males/females are thinking all the time conscious or unconscious of having sex. And that has proved Freud. Because it must be so, nature needs kids! What is bad on that? Our judging? Or that the Religions can exploit us with our bad conscious that sex must be bad because we are sex driven?  Without our sex drive there would be no kids… Everything is okay only the Religions are wrong! My Video: What we hide becomes more attractive https://youtu.be/hFusNA3Ey6IMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/What-we-hide-becomes-more-attractive.mp3

Label: Colossus 112Year: 1970Condition: MPrice: $16.00Here's a beautiful copy of this unforgettably catchy hit single from the Netherlands group headed by Johannes Bouwens. The A side is specially edited from a 4:20 album track, and the B side is a non-album cut. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of this incredibly popular song... the audio is amazing! By the way, this group was part of a mini-invasion of pop bands from Northern Europe & Scandinavia starting in 1970 that included: Shocking Blue (Holland) Blue Swede (Sweden) Harpo (Sweden) The Cats (Holland) Mouth & McNeal (Holland) Focus (Holland) Tee Set (Holland) Gasolin' (Denmark), and, of course, Abba (Sweden) Except for Abba, the invasion was brief, but vivid. Note: This beautiful 45 has a small 1 inch segment of vinyl fading from storage, which in no way effects the stunning Mint audio! The record appears new and unplayed. (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

This week's show is with Rob Wildwood. Rob Wildwood is an author, a photographer, a tour guide and a folklore researcher from the North of England. Rob Wildwood was born in a seaside town in Yorkshire and spent his childhood exploring the local countryside and the myths and folklore of the North York Moors. He was introduced to Norse shamanism in his early twenties and had a keen interest in history, particularly the history of Britain's pagan past. He spent many years taking part in Viking festivals all over Europe and spent some years living in Scandinavia where he expanded his online business called ‘The Jelling Dragon' which sells hand-crafted reproductions of Viking artefacts. He was fascinated by the animist beliefs of primitive cultures, which see everything in nature as being imbued with spirit. This led Rob to travel the world experiencing indigenous cultures, including spending time with the Kalahari Bushmen, the nomadic Penan of Borneo and the forest Naikas of India. These travels revived his interest in shamanism and he eventually returned to England to study core shamanism in Glastonbury. While there he also became involved in the faery scene where people dressed as magical beings and even practiced a form of pagan faery spirituality. This marked the beginning of another long adventure where he sought out and photographed magical places all over Britain, tuning into the energies of these places and receiving channelled messages using shamanic journeying techniques. This led directly to the publication of his first book ‘Magical Places of Britain' which is a richly illustrated photographic guide to the folklore of these sites. His spiritual adventures and visionary experiences while visiting these sites have now finally been collated into this book you are holding, ‘The Land of the Fae'. Rob has subsequently visited many more sacred sites and magical places, both in Britain and while travelling extensively around the world, including sites in Ireland, Scandinavia, North America, Hawaii, New Zealand, Indonesia, India and eventually Australia, where he spent several seasons studying Aboriginal culture and exploring the dreamtime legends of the sacred landscape there. These experiences led to the publication of his book ‘Primal Awareness' which seeks to answer the question: “Why did mankind become so separated from nature and world of spirit?” The book also offers exercises that seek to redress this imbalance. Rob also became interested in dowsing, ley lines and earth energies, and has followed ley lines extensively across Britain and Europe. He eventually settled down in Glastonbury, Somerset where he still lives and is self-employed as an author, photographer and tour guide. In this conversation, Rob and Lian explored the magical history of Britain, how we can reconnect to this land and its spirits, and reclaim the magical, mythical worldview that's our human birthright. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: The folklore and tales of the land can act like maps showing us the magical places and beings that inhabit those places that are waiting for us to re-discover them To commune with the spirits of the land, we need to create the right conditions to open to them - whether that's a shamanic journey, following the breath or entering trance in some other way. Rob has seen that the beings of the land want to be recognised and honoured again - we can give them that with our attention and offerings Resources and stuff that we spoke about: For more information about Rob, visit his website and Facebook page: Website: themagicalplaces.com Facebook: Rob Wildwood's Magical Places Thank you for listening!

Our history of the Hanse has come to an end, not with a bang but with a whimper. Of the things that have remained we have already talked a lot, the ideal of the honourable Hanseatic merchant, the cultural and political links to Scandinavia and the stories. The stories of the famous pirates, Klaus Störtebecker and Hans Benecke, the heroics of the wars fought with Denmark and the antics of Jurgen Wullenwever. But there is something that reminds us of the days when traders speaking low German fed Europe fish, beer and grain. And that are the cultural achievements, the town halls, weighing houses and stores that became symbols of civic pride, the artists whose works adorn churches and palaces across the Baltic sea and last but not least the brick churches that shaped the way these cities still appear..…let's have a look.And since podcasting is a most unsuitable medium to talk about visual art, I have added a few images to the episode webpage which you can find at Episode 127 - Art & Culture of the Hanse • History of the Germans PodcastThe music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Historyofthegermans

The Vikings are history's best example of an irresistible force. They were raiders from Scandinavia that pillaged and slaughtered across much of Europe. They founded Iceland, lived in Greenland, and were the first Europeans in North America. They changed Britain and most of mainland Europe. Find out what made them so formidable and how they reshaped the western world.

In this episode we embark on an inspiring journey with Barb De Corti, the visionary behind ENJO Australia, a brand that has redefined cleaning for the better. Barb's journey began with a personal struggle - her young son's severe asthma. Unaware of the harmful impact of cleaning chemicals on his health, Barb's life took a transformative turn when she discovered the wonders of ENJO during her time in Austria, a product extensively used in Western Europe and Scandinavia. Upon returning home, Barb introduced ENJO to her friends and family, sparking immense interest. Recognizing the potential to make a difference in people's lives, she invested her entire life savings of $40,000 to launch ENJO Australia. The direct selling method, which allowed her to demonstrate the product's effectiveness, proved to be the best way to share the ENJO experience. This method not only transformed the cleaning industry but also provided an opportunity for individuals to reenter the workforce and learn the ropes of establishing their own businesses. Throughout the episode, Barb shares some impactful book recommendations that have guided her on her entrepreneurial journey, including "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, "Find Your Why" by Simon Sinek, "Diary of a CEO" by Steve Bartlett, and the work of Brené Brown. She emphasises the importance of passion, purpose, and profit in driving her mission. Barb also touches on the ebb and flow of direct selling consultants, highlighting the impact of changes in the workforce, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. To adapt, ENJO Australia transitioned to e-commerce while still incorporating consultants into the process.

The UK has a well-reported productivity problem, with mediocre managers, poor communication and chronic underinvestment all hampering growth. What can Britain glean from Norway, Sweden and Denmark, all of which have more productive economies? And what lessons can be learned from Japan, the only major, developed economy that is less productive than the UK? Host Isabel Berwick speaks to FT senior business writer Andrew Hill to find out what ails Britain. Later, she chats to Leo Lewis (the FT's Asia business editor) and Richard Milne (Nordic and Baltic bureau chief) to learn how the UK could perform better (or worse…)Why productivity is so weak at UK companies Sweden is navigating an international identity crisisLessons from Japan: High-income countries have common problemsThe UK is doing a shoddy job of keeping up with the neighboursGot a workplace dilemma you'd like Isabel and Jonathan to help you with?

In 2017, Lowell Bailey's World Championships gold helped ignite the sport across America. Today, as high performance director for U.S. Biathlon, Bailey remains at the forefront guiding the upstart organization in its march to sustained competitive excellence. Bailey talked to Heartbeat during the team's vital pre-season camp at Soldier Hollow in October.U.S. Biathlon is now well into execution on its strategic plan, which is taking the long view out to 2030 as to how it can develop sustained competitive excellence. While much of that plan focuses on high performance, other elements look at growing the sport through more biathlon club programs across the country, or talent transfer – helping cross country skiers discover biathlon.On the talent transfer, think about how many cross country skiers across America were motivated to see Jessie Diggins try biathlon at the Soldier Hollow camp?In this episode of Heartbeat, Bailey recaps last season – which had some impactful high points – and looks to the season ahead, which starts in late November. But he also dives deep into the strategic plan and how U.S. Biathlon is moving down the pathway to sustained competitive excellence.To start, Lowell, how important is this Soldier Hollow camp?We've been doing this camp for decades now. It's such a great time of year to be in Utah for our last dryland training camp. The importance of it is that it's the final training block before we get into the fine tuning section of the season, which leads up to the on snow camp in Scandinavia.  It's the culmination of a ton of hard work by the athletes starting in May and also mixed in as some team qualifications.And this year you're also celebrating Utah as the new headquarters of U.S. Biathlon?It's hugely important for the organization. We're expanding at a pretty rapid pace these days. There are a lot of new clubs coming online. Our organizational priorities or objectives, are really about building our clubs and building our outreach. We've really had a pretty good presence in the northeast for, for a long time, some good venues there. In the West, there are also great venues, great clubs. And so this just adds to all the groundwork that they've laid over the years and puts, you know, USBA puts its presence out here on the West Coast.That club growth is a key part of your plan. What are you seeing?Lowell Bailey: [00:02:52] Yeah, I mean, that is our hope that the club participation is increasing. We're seeing that now. We're seeing new clubs [00:03:00] come online. We're seeing growth in participation at existing clubs. And you know, I think a lot of that credit goes to the, you know, the club organizers, volunteers and also with U.S. Biathlon. You know we've put resources and personnel dedicated to that purpose of helping clubs as they continue to grow.In our last episode ofHeartbeat, we talked to Campbell Wright. What impact can he have on the team as a whole?Campbell trained with the national team throughout last year and was, by all intents and purposes, a national team member throughout last season and now IS a national team member. We have some young athletes who continue to post some impressive results and they did last season. But what's really exciting is there's a whole group of that generation of athletes that's training together daily, pushing each other daily, and that type of sort of critical mass is so important in raising the bar of the whole team.Talent transfer is also a key part of your strategic plan. Can you share an example?In biathlon, since it's a sport that involves cross country skiing and rifle marksmanship, what you see across really the whole international scene is cross country – skiers at an elite level will make that jump. What we saw last year was Margie Freed from the Craftsbury Green Racing project. She chose to kind of stick her neck out and try biathlon. She didn't have a whole lot of experience up to that point, really jumping in with both feet. And she jumped into our trials in December and qualified for our IBU Cup team and then went on to post a 19th place, which was our American top finish on the IBU Cup last year. More importantly, she posted a second fastest course time and did that several times where she had top five course times. And in biathlon, you know right now the international field is really, really competitive. Races are won by half a second and ski speed is just so important. It's my opinion that that shooting can be taken up in a much shorter time than it is to learn how to cross country ski at an elite level. So the ski speed aspect of the sport is just so important.Tom Kelly: [00:24:29] When you [00:24:30] look at the whole blend of things that you have in this plan, it's really quite detailed. Are the athletes understanding this? Do they? Do they feel that they have a plan that they can sink their teeth into and they can stick with now over the next 6 or 7 years?As you continue to move down the roadway on the strategic plan, We're building that backing and momentum. And this plan didn't just get created in a vacuum. It had a lot of stakeholders that contributed, including athlete representatives and also our board of directors. So it's a group effort. Obviously at the end of the day, it's the athlete that's on the course that's out there racing. But as we all know, there's so much that goes into just getting competitive athletes to the start line at an Olympic Games.Finally, Lowell, what's the toughest thing you've done athletically yourself in the last year?Unfortunately, it's not that impressive. You'll have to ask our team general manager, Federico Fontana because his is more impressive than mine. Watch for that in upcoming episode 4!There's plenty more from Lowell Bailey on the future direction of U.S. Biathlon on Heartbeat episode three.

The custom of burying an animal under the foundations of a house is not only very widespread, found in Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Finland and beyond, but is also very old, dating back to the Indo-Europeans of the Bronze Age Europe. It even spread as far away as America and India! In this video I trace the customs origins and dispersal and explain the magical function of the animal and human sacrifices underneath the home.

Interview with Chris Reed, CEO/MD of Neometals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/neometals-asxnmt-collaboration-chronicles-the-mercedes-benz-partnership-3630Recording date: 11th Oct 2023Australian-listed company Neometals (ASX:NMT) is focused on developing battery recycling and recovery projects to produce critical battery materials like lithium, nickel, and cobalt. The company is commercializing technologies for recovering these battery metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap.Neometals currently has lithium-ion battery recycling projects underway in Europe, including a pilot plant with Mercedes-Benz in Germany. In addition, Neometals owns a vanadium recovery technology and is working on commercializing this with steel companies in Scandinavia to extract vanadium from steel manufacturing slag.While not yet a producer, Neometals aims to generate royalties and equity stakes from its recycling and recovery technologies without large capital outlays. This strategy focuses on lower risk, lower capex opportunities with strong partners.Upcoming catalysts include finalizing commercial deals and securing purchase orders for its recycling plants. Successfully executing initial projects could demonstrate Neometals' business model and pave the way for self-funded growth from the royalty streams generated. With demand for battery materials surging, Neometals offers exposure to the battery value chain and a potential low-risk royalty model in a high-growth sector.View Neometals Company Profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/neometalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What you'll learn in this episode:   Why even jewelry novices can learn to make silver jewelry at home with affordable tools How Machi and her co-author Janet turned their in-person jewelry making classes into a book What safety concerns to consider when making DIY jewelry How working with silver compares to working with other metals, and where beginner makers should start What mistakes beginner makers commonly make and how to fix them    About Machi de Waard Machi de Waard is a designer-jeweller and jewellery tutor. Jewellery has been her full-time pursuit since early 2007, and Machi's work has been shown at galleries, fairs and exhibitions. Machi combines her studio practice with teaching, having taught jewellery making for over ten years in various locations throughout the UK. Her interests in modern art, particularly in sculpture and minimalism, influence her work.   Additional Resources: -www.machidewaard.co.uk  -insta: @machi_jewellery  -www.janetrichardson.co.uk  -insta: @janrichardsonjewellery Book links: Amazon UK Waterstones Blackwells Search Press Guardian Bookstore Amazon USA Penguin Random House Bol.com in the Netherlands Amazon Germany   Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney,com   Transcript:   Working with metal might seem like something best left to the pros, but Machi de Waard's new book smashes that misconception. Written with Machi's friend and co-author Janet Richardson, “Silver Jewelry Making: A Complete Step-By-Step Course,” includes seven projects that help beginner makers build on their skills and make real jewelry at home with simple tools. Machi joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the serendipitous way the book got published; why silver is the best metal for beginners to start with; and which common mistakes DIY makers should watch out for. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone, welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    Today, my guest is Machi de Waard. She, along with Janet Richardson, is the coauthor of the book “Silver Jewelry Making.” They are both jewelers and teachers in Great Britain, and that's where she's speaking to me from. Welcome back.    That's what I wanted to ask you. Do people say to you, “Why do you work in silver and not gold?”    Machi: I'm happy to do any commission in gold. We both do commissions in gold. It's just harder to afford to do large pieces in gold unless somebody's already paying you to do it. It's just very, very expensive.   Sharon: Do you ever rhodium plate your silver with Argentium, or whatever that brand name is?   Machi: Argentium. I use a lot of Argentium in my own work, almost exclusively but not quite, because it doesn't tarnish as much as sterling silver. Janet uses some Argentium silver and sterling silver. I do not rhodium plate partly because rhodium has actually become very expensive as well, and I prefer not to plate things because if there's a plate, it can come off. You don't want the customer to have a piece that looks great and then you have to replate it over a few years. So, I don't really like to plate my pieces unless absolutely necessary. I don't think Janet does much plating either.    Sharon: What's your favorite kind of thing to make? Is it a bracelet, a ring, a necklace?   Machi: Oh, I like all of it. I think Janet and I are both—what's the word—I was going to say obsessed, but maybe passionate sounds better. We are both never bored of jewelry. We like to make pretty much everything. I would say at the moment, my favorite thing is brooches, but I'm happy to make anything.   Sharon: I'm not any kind of maker, but it seems like a brooch would be easier because you only have to make one of those, as opposed to an earring or something where they have to match.   Machi: Yeah, I suppose so, although earrings don't have to match.   Sharon: Today they don't. That's true.   Machi: In the 20s they wore mismatched earrings, so you can always use that excuse. I guess with the brooch, the important thing is the pin. You want a really good pin that's going to hold the brooch up and it's not going to flop forward. It will hold on to whatever you're wearing but also not be impossible to put on and off. There are different things for each piece that you have to look out for.   Sharon: What do you teach your students about pins? Before you even start, do you have to think about what kind of fabric it's going to be worn with?   Machi: Yes, absolutely. A really small brooch, you could wear on linen, but you have to think about the size of the pin, the material you're going to put it through, how it's going to hang, how heavy it is, whether you want a double pin. There are all kinds of different things you can put it on. It depends what you want to use it for, because it's totally different if you want it for, let's say, a winter wool coat versus holding on a silk scarf. It really depends on the end use. You have to think about that before you start making.   Sharon: What are the other things you counsel your students to think about before they start?    Machi: The order of fabrication. If you don't think about it and then you get halfway through your project, then you realize, “Oh, I should have done that before that,” that can cause problems. It's important to have at least a basic plan of the order you're going to do things in so that it works out.   Sharon: Does your book talk about that? It talks about fabrication?   Machi: Yes.   Sharon: Did you have to look for a while before you found a publisher? I can't remember.   Machi: It was actually quite funny. I had been talking to not only Janet, but my other jewelry friends, and I said, “Oh, Janet and I are going to write a book,” and of course it didn't happen. Then one of our jewelry friends was at a craft fair and a publisher, which turned out to be Search Press, approached her and said, “Do you want to write a book about jewelry making?” and she said, “No, absolutely not, but I know somebody who does.” Then Janet and I approached Search Press and proposed what we wanted to write, and it was exactly what they were looking for. It was total serendipity. We wanted to write exactly what they wanted somebody to write for them.    For us, it was fantastic because Search Press is an award-winning craft publisher. Not only are they excellent at editing and putting together the actual book and the layout and so on, but we had a professional photographer for, I think, five days and we worked in the photography studio. We made the things in the studio and the photographer could take pictures of every little detail. We were worried that maybe there would be a limit on the number of pictures they would take, but he took thousands of pictures. We got all the detailed photographs we wanted, which was so important for visual learners especially, to be able to see exactly what we were talking about.   Sharon: Do you have to be a visual learner for this to work?   Machi: I don't think so, but that's because I'm a reader and Janet's a visual learner. She'll look at all the pictures and I'll look at all the words. It turned out to be perfect for the balance, because I was constantly checking the words and she was constantly checking the pictures.   Sharon: I guess I'm not a do-it-yourselfer. Can I learn how to make the jewelry that you talk about in this book?   Machi: Yeah, totally. If you want to, absolutely.   Sharon: If I want to, that's the question. Did the two of you ever teach together in a classroom or any kind of school?   Machi: No, we generally teach our own classes, but we've covered each other's classes quite a bit. When her husband was unwell, I covered her classes, and when I was doing this degree, she covered my classes. We're very comfortable taking over from each other because we know what the other is doing.   Sharon: Did you think about doing this book with somebody else?   Machi: No, it had to be Janet.   Sharon: What would she tell me about working with you?   Machi: I think she would say that we complement each other very well. Janet can do everything she wants to with computers, but it's definitely not her favorite thing. So, I did all the typing. We did everything together. Part of it was during lockdown, so we did loads over Facetime. We would talk over Facetime while I was typing. I typed everything, so that worked out really well. She definitely would have gotten mad at the computer at some point and probably thrown it out the window.   Sharon: Was one of you responsible for CAD or anything like that? When you talk about computers, I think of things that are much more intricate than typing.   Machi: This was just typing. It was just about formatting the text so the publisher could take it and rework it into the format they wanted for the book.   Sharon: Did the publisher tell you how long they wanted it to be or what they wanted in the book?   Machi: Yeah, that was way back at the beginning. When we sat down with them, they said, “O.K., it's going to be 192 pages.” “O.K.” From the get-go, they knew exactly what they wanted, and then we worked with them within those parameters. It's also quite funny; jewelers notoriously have terrible nails because they're constantly getting their nails dirty and breaking. It was actually in the contract that we had to get a manicure before we got the pictures done for the book so our nails wouldn't be too disgusting.   Sharon: Wow! That's like a manicurist. A manicurist usually has nails that aren't done.   Machi: Actually, yeah.   Sharon: So, you had to get manicures before the photos were done.   Machi: Yeah.   Sharon: What kind of troubleshooting tips do you give in the book?   Machi: This is where our experience with teaching really shows because we know in a classroom setting when students get stuck and when they get frustrated. The troubleshooting is about the points that are more difficult. For example, with soldering, there are a lot of little details that can go wrong, and people get frustrated. There's a whole section about solder troubleshooting.    Then there's also quite a bit about making joins. Whenever you put something together, like a ring or a bangle or a jump ring, the join has to be really good. It has to be clean, and it has to fit fairly well. So, there's a whole section about what to do if your join is not good and how to fix it.    There's also troubleshooting for stone setting because there's a bit of a temptation, especially with your first-ever stone setting, to get excited and put the stone in to test if it fits before you should put it in, before the item, whatever it is, is finished. Then people get their stones stuck. There's a whole section for four different ways to get your stone out of a setting because you've put it in too early.   Sharon: Can you do something if a join doesn't fit? If a jump ring doesn't fit, what can you do?   Machi: Yeah. A clear example is when you make a ring and it's too small or too big. What do you do? If it's too small, you can put it back on the ring mandrel, which is like a steel-tapered tool you form the rings around. You can put the ring on it, and then you use a mallet, which is a soft hammer, and you hit it down the mandrel so it stretches it. Just because your ring is too small, all is not lost. You can still stretch it. If it's too big, you can cut out a little piece and then resolder it and make it the right size. There's usually some way of fixing it.   Sharon: Do you talk about that just in your classes, or do you also talk about that in the book?   Machi: It's in the book.   Sharon: Wow! Is the book available everywhere that you would buy an art book?   Machi: I checked and it's available on Amazon U.S., of course, and Target. I'm trying to remember the other American things. I looked up on the internet where it is. To my surprise, it was available in the Brooklyn Library, which is nice.    Sharon: I'm surprised it's available in the U.S. I hadn't thought to look, but I guess it makes sense with Amazon U.S. being so big. I've encountered books that are just in Great Britain and they're not in the U.S., so that's what I was thinking.   Machi: I think that's part of the advantage of working with Search Press because they have so much experience in this arena. They got the book absolutely everywhere. It's on Amazon U.S., U.K., Holland, Japan, Scandinavia, everywhere. It's also on Penguin U.S., I think on the website. I'm not totally sure if it's on the website, but it's definitely available everywhere, basically.   Sharon: Did they do the translating?   Machi: Yup.   Sharon: So, you didn't have to be involved or worry about any of that.   Machi: No, I don't even know the details of that. They just took over all of that because they're super-experienced with these things.   Sharon: That's pretty good. What's your next book?   Machi: We vaguely have an idea to do a follow-up book for this, but I think I might have to convince Janet of it. We'll see.   Sharon: Focusing on silver jewelry again?   Machi: Yes, definitely. We both love making and we love teaching. We just enjoy watching our students go from strength to strength and make their own pieces. Giving people the ability to work on their own is definitely very satisfying.   Sharon: You talk about picking a project in the book and taking it further. Can you give me some examples of that?   Machi: We do the preliminary part of that, and at the end of every project in the book, there's a progression section which says, “Well, now that you can do this, you can do that.” For example, once you have done all the projects, all the way at the end, it shows that you can also make cufflinks and tie tacks based on the information you've learned throughout the other projects. We tried to cover as many different types of pieces of jewelry as possible, so that at the end you can do that.   After that, there's a section in the back about how to design your own jewelry and how to move forward with thinking about how to design and progressing to make other things. It's all building blocks. You need the core skills, which are described in great detail, and you can constantly refer back to those, but you can keep building and building and then using the troubleshooting sections to get you out of problems.   Sharon: It would seem like after you write one book, you'd say, “That's it. I'm done.” What makes you want to write another book?   Machi: I'm not so sure we will because this one took three years from beginning to end. It was a lot of work. It was really, really satisfying, especially because Search Press gave us such a good photographer. It really made it to a quality level that we were very happy with. It had so much detail in the photography and the words. We were really pleased with the outcome and with the feedback we've had. We've had really good feedback from people saying, “I always use this book to get me out of problems when I'm working on my own.” That's really satisfying. Whether we'll actually do another one, I don't know. I have to talk to Janet again.   Sharon: What would be on your wish list? I keep going back to this. Would it be gold? Would it be silver? Would it be copper?   Machi: I think silver again because this is just seven projects, but there's no end to how many projects you could do. For example, I'd be interested in adding a project about doing a box, working with hinges, doing gold foil—which is called keum-boo, where you fuse gold foil to silver—or making a large bangle. There's no end to the possibilities, but just moving it up with different levels of complexity.   Sharon: Fusing gold to a silver object, that seems like it would be asking for trouble in the sense that you're asking for something to come off.    Machi: Well, the gold foil fusing is actually bonding, so it becomes one metal. It can't come off. You could scratch it, but you can't take it off if you do it correctly.    Sharon: Do you see this being the start of your empire, you and Janet, the start of an empire of silver and then going on to bronze or gold or some other metal?   Machi: Both of us just really love silver and the accessibility of silver. Some other people have written very good books about gold. Gold is a whole other thing. I think with silver, there's so much more to explore that still stays accessible in terms of cost. I think we would probably be more interested in that. I am not sure. It depends. I have to bribe Janet.    Sharon: I've heard people say they don't like silver because you have to polish it and polish it—I'm talking about sterling silver—if it's not plated. Somehow that stops it from tarnishing.    Machi: There is no getting around that. Sterling silver will tarnish, but it does tarnish more if you don't wear it. Like a ring, if you just wear it all the time, it generally is going to tarnish less, although it does depend on your skin. Some people's skin reacts with silver more than others. That's why I use a lot of Argentium silver, because it tarnishes far less than regular sterling silver. It's technically more tarnish resistant. It doesn't not tarnish, but it's definitely less, so there's less maintenance with it. That's why I use that. Janet also uses it to some degree.   Sharon: Is it more expensive?   Machi: A fraction, but nothing significant. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with the rest being copper, and Argentium silver is 94% silver. It has a higher silver content. It also is copper, but it has a little bit of germanium. The germanium forms an oxide on the outside of the metal, which stops it from tarnishing so it stays white. Well, it doesn't entirely stop it from tarnishing, but it keeps it from tarnishing as much as sterling. It definitely stays cleaner. If you're very bothered by tarnish or if you find that you're cleaning your jewelry, I would say to look for Argentium silver jewelry.   Sharon: Is that something you talk about in the book or in your classes?   Machi: I do talk about that in my classes. It's not in the book, but that's partly because when you start, it's just easier to access sterling silver. Now, you can get Argentium in the U.S. and here, no problem, but Argentium was changing slightly. The inventor of Argentium changed the alloy slightly last year, so it's better than it was before, but it was still shifting; things were changing. We didn't discuss it in the book because it would have been too much other information. There's only so much you can cover with jewelry that we had to limit it somehow.   Sharon: 192 pages is still quite limiting.   Machi: Yeah, and there's still a lot in there.   Sharon: What is the difference rhodium and Argentium?   Machi: Rhodium is really used only for plating. Argentium is another silver alloy. So, there's sterling silver and Argentium silver.   Sharon: So, you would make something first and then dip it. I don't know. I have this image of dipping it in the rhodium, but you would make it out of Argentium first.   Machi: Yes, rhodium is a very traditional thing to plate with. White gold especially is often plated with rhodium to keep it very white and then it doesn't tarnish. Silver is generally not rhodium-plated, or at least not for individual makers because it wouldn't make sense cost-wise. It would add a significant amount of cost. Most silver you buy from an individual maker is not going to be plated.    Sharon: That's interesting. I've been told that white gold in its natural form yellows over the years. I don't know if that's true or not.   Machi: Yeah, that's why white gold usually is plated with rhodium gold, especially if it's commercially imported, to guarantee it's rhodium plated. At the moment, there's a bit of a shift going on in the industry with rhodium, partly because it was getting so expensive and partially for environmental reasons. It's not that environmentally friendly. A whole bunch of the platers I use in London were moving away from rhodium to different white metals to change the way they plate so there were fewer environmental issues. So, there's a bit of a shift going with that. You've got to watch the space. Things are changing on that.    Sharon: So, you go back to the same people to buy your stuff from. You keep going back to the same to people buy it. That's interesting.   Machi: Yes, and we have a list in the book—no, we don't have a list. We mention a couple of suppliers, but there's actually a list on the publisher's website for suppliers because suppliers change, of course. In the U.S., the main supplier is Rio Grande, and in the U.K., the main supplier is Cooksongold. Those are the big suppliers. Their websites are excellent, which makes it much easier to order the materials.   Sharon: Are they related, Cooksongold and Rio Grande? I know Rio Grande. Are they related?   Machi: No, not as far as I know. Their owners aren't the same, so I don't think so.   Sharon: O.K. Machi, thank you very much. I'm glad to know that it's not Machi, it's Machi. Thank you. I looked at that and thought, “It sounds right.” It's M-A-C-H-I, and the last name has a “D-E” and then a capital “W-A-A-R-D.” The book is available now. It's “Silver Jewelry Making,” and it's available from Search Press.    Machi: Yes.   Sharon: You can find it in the U.K. and in the U.S. and all over the world, it sounds like, or they can contact you. Thank you, and thank you to Janet. We'll look forward to your next book.   Machi: Thank you very much.    Sharon: Thank you for being here today.   We will have photos posted on the website.

Welcome back. I'm Mark, and today I'm bringing you a special bonus episode of "Unlocking Your World of Creativity" direct from Oslo, Norway, where I'm diving into the fascinating world of conscious brands during Oslo Innovation Week.In this illuminating session titled "Conscientious Innovation," hosted by the Medinge Group and organized by the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), we explored how innovation, sustainability, and creativity intertwine to make the world a better place.The first 3 distinguished panelists of the morning led us on an eye-opening journey:Christian Lodgaard: As the Chief Design Officer of Flock, one of Scandinavia's largest furniture manufacturers, Christian delved into the concept of designing products to last. He emphasized the significance of considering materials, structure, and repairability right from the start. The goal? To create furniture with lasting value and minimal environmental impact.Brigitte Stepputtis: The Global Head of Couture at the fashion brand Vivienne Westwood, revealed how this fashion icon leads the way in conscious design. Vivienne Westwood's reduced impact strategy includes fewer collection changes, fewer fashion shows, and streamlining product lines -- while even exploring the repurposing of bridal gowns.Joana Sá Lima: Joana, a partner and architect at Comte Bureau, introduced us to the idea that sometimes the best decision is not to build anything new at all. She highlighted innovative ways to rethink construction materials, design, and waste reduction. Asking the right questions, she argued, can lead to surprising and sustainable solutions.Taken together, hese panelists illuminated some key takeaways:1. The Art of the Possible: Concrete examples showed us what's achievable in the realm of conscientious innovation, dispelling the notion of mere theoretical ideas.2. Defining Circularity: They provided a clear picture of how individual brands and products can embrace circularity, pinpointing where improvements can be made.3. Empowering the Consumer: Educating customers about their choices can steer them toward more sustainable options, fostering informed decisions.Stay tuned for more updates from Oslo Innovation Week as I continue my exploration of global creative and innovative endeavors. I'm Mark, inviting you to join me on this inspiring journey of unlocking creativity.

In this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Feminin, Rose Manley and Denny Gray pour over what has been a packed racing schedule since the World Championships. They pick out the defining moments and big breakthroughs from this closing part of the season which has included a nail-biting Tour of Scandinavia, a lively Tour de Romandie and a Simac Ladies Tour that was full of surprises. We also hear from Canyon-SRAM's huge new talent Antonia Niedermaier who has already bagged a Giro stage win in her first year in the World Tour. The young German tells us about her double life as both an elite cyclist and an elite ski mountaineer and reveals her ambitions to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Rose and Denny also – dare we say – “speculate” on where we can expect the new rivalries and new winners to come next year now that one of the sport's leading lights Annemiek Van Vleuten has retired. Van Vleuten said goodbye to racing at the Simac Ladies Tour, having racked up an astounding 104 wins in her 15 year elite career. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.
