I hope you've enjoyed re-exploring joy as seen through the lens of the Enneagram. We covered a lot of ground from wholeheartedness, rebirth, community, ritual, storytelling and a whole lot more. And on this meander, I shared with you a bit about what I've learned about myself as I revisit my "two-ness" this time around.As I look ahead to the end of winter and coming spring episodes, I can tell you that we'll continue to meander through Dina's book, "Grief Unleashed: from the whole in our hearts to wholehearted." Angie and I will continue to explore joy twice a month on The PauseCast  following in the footsteps of the poet Khalil Gibran. We left off in December "On Wonder" and we'll probably pick back up there with that theme. We do plan to explore big topics like On Support, and On Stress, On Nature and On Silence, among other things... or wherever whimsy takes us. I'll continue to meander with regular people about how they experience their joy, and we'll cover a little more about relationships, including grandparenting, in those meanders.All that said, every meander is a surprise, and I hope you'll stick with us as we cover the landscape. The unifying theme across each of the meanders is JOY in the every day, showing how we can live more fulfilling lives. Please send thoughts and comments to meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.comPS...

I am Theresa Melito-Conners, a PhD level self-care expert in the greater Boston area who loves to help others take control of their health and wellbeing. Sometimes you meet people in life with whom you just click. Today’s episode is a conversation with just such a person. My friend, Carina bell tree. We met several years ago when we would rock of the front row during Zoomba classes. And we became instant friends. Corrina’s no BS, attitude and style are so refreshing. Although she no longer lives in Massachusetts, we remain in contact despite any geographical or scheduling challenges back in the day when Corina and I were showing up for Zoomba, we bonded with a few other special ladies attending these classes, calling ourselves the investments. I believe Karena herself came up with that name because some people are just worth investing your time and energy into Corina is a wife, mother of two beautiful children, a model. And recently she began hosting her radio show called a rhythm lifestyle. I am thrilled. The Corina was visiting Boston recently, and we were able to see each other and catch up. This is my conversation with her and I hope you win. Speaker 0 00:02:04 So let’s, let’s get started. Okay. Speaker 1 00:02:07 Tell me a little bit about your self-care practices and how you like to practice them. Speaker 2 00:02:12 So for me, self care has a lot of things and it’ll definitely depend on my mood. So self-care could be reading a book, right? Just disconnecting. It could be a Netflix type of day, which doesn’t happen often. Right? Um, I even self-indulgent YouTube makeup videos. Nice. Right? Because you know how I like to do my makeup, right? Your makeup is gorgeous. I will self indulge and make up videos. Um, one of the things I also love to do as I write a letter to God, nice. I write to God a lot. And I have notebooks like lingering in my bedroom everywhere, sticky notes. Because sometimes when I’m feeling, you know, despair stressed, I feel like I have to run it down. So self care there. Now, one of the things that I started doing, and this was a long time ago before I had my gastric bypass, my doctor said, what do you, what do you want to do to make you feel beautiful? Speaker 2 00:03:17 So at the time I didn’t have a lot of money. So I started with skincare, right. Taking care of myself. So what I would do is take my time with my skincare, with my moisturizer and all that stuff. Now it’s a little bougie now I’m going to say so by the time I get up, I think I last more moisturizing than I do in the shower, because it is the only thing that I

Usually we are hanging out with Rebekah as students in her Chicago-based Zumba class, but today we got to catch up via Zoom to learn about her ingredients for living life to the fullest, to dive deep into her self-care practices (in honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month), to explore the connection between wellness & creativity, and discuss all of our cravings — from freely expressing ourselves through latin rhythms in Zumba and breathing / moving through element-based, Kinrgy (expanded fitness by Julianne Hough), to our love of charcuterie and cheese boards, global flavors that transport us, and matcha! Her story will remind you that it’s up to you to “live your life on purpose, instead of by pattern.” This episode is for you if you are someone who has moved by yourself to a new place, or, you have taken a leap of faith to follow an opportunity not knowing if it would work out, or you’ve opened up to others about something personal, or you just love to dance and express yourself through movement. A few months ago, right before the pandemic escalated, Rebekah joined Julianne, 9 other soulful dancers, and Oprah (yes, that Oprah!) on stages around the U.S. to guide tens of thousands of people through Kinrgy, which she created to help you “connect to yourself from the inside out” so we can all better relate to one another.

CGP Ep270 Hot Yogaversary 1 year ago this week I tried hot yoga and have been doing it 3-5 days a week ever since! Adding this element to my routine has changed my life. Coming from a strength coach, this is a dangerous thing to admit! We use to make fun of these “fringe” fitness fads like Zoomba, Pilates, Aerobics, CrossFit, and Jazzercise. Well guess what Coaches… these are not fads and they are not going away. They create communities that accommodate everyones needs, are easily accessible and don’t require a degree in anatomy to get started! My favourite aspect of my yoga practice is the fact that someone else is in control. I am just an inflexible old bald guy in the back of a class full of 98% women. This is in stark contrast to my previous training regime that was either performed by myself or in a room with 98% men, led by me and performing exercises that I was good at. (Lift heavy shit up and put it down) The fact that I am sweating 3 litres of sweat in an hour class while performing some of the most challenging body weight movements imaginable makes Hot Yoga a mental mind @#$%. The only negative is the fact that the only time I get to see my good friend and soft tissue specialist anymore is by taking him out for dinner! I use to need my psoas released, t-spine adjusted, and SI Joint realigned bi-weekly! Not anymore. My chakras are aligned! But why read this when you can listen to me rant and rave about the good, the bad, the ugly and pooping poodles! This Downward Dirty Dog goes DEEEEP into hot yoga in this week’s episode. Forward fold, half way lift and enjoy. Want a 16 Week kick in the butt? Something you can commit yourself to to mazximize your potential? Start the Coach Glass LoadXplode program!

Season 1, Episode 3 CES 19 Jeff Guard of Brilliant Sole Founder and CEO of Brilliant Sole, Jeff Guard is attending CES 19 as part of the North Carolina Startup Pavilion.  Brilliant Sole is the ultimate smart footwear platform for VR and creators and was developed to solve the locomotion problem in virtual reality. Announcer:                      00:00                   You're listening to Trade Show Live! On the Road featuring conversations with the people who bring trade shows to life, including attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and trade show, industry thought leaders. We attend trade shows around the country in a wide variety of industries from healthcare consumer products and everything in between. The podcast is a production of the trade show manager, a trade show, consulting firm, and now let's go on the road with Trade Show Live! Janet:                                00:28                   Welcome to Trade Show Live! On the Road. This podcast is a production of the trade show manager and features an in depth look at the people, companies, and organizations that bring trade shows to life. In January 2019, we are headed to CES, the Consumer Electronics Show with an amazing group of startups and business leaders will be in Eureka Park and displaying some of the best new ideas coming from the startup community in North Carolina. One of our really exciting companies is Brilliant Sole, spelled s-o-l-e. You'll love this product company! Founder, Jeff Guard is with us to talk about his entrepreneurial journey and the launch of Brilliant Sole. Welcome to the podcast. Jeff, Jeff:                                    01:11                   Hi. Thank you. Thank you very much, Janet. Happy to be here speaking with you on this podcast. This is a phenomenal opportunity for us and we're very thankful for the North Carolina Startup pavilion to be working with us and be included in this group and have your health also to working with us. Janet:                                01:30                   Well, we did mention earlier that it is the North Carolina Startup pavilion and you represent one of the companies, not necessarily from the Raleigh area. You hail from Wilmington, I understand. Jeff:                                    01:41                   Yes. That is correct. Janet:                                01:43                   And is that where the idea for Brilliant Sole was born and your team was formed? Jeff:                                    01:48                   It is, it is. Everyone on the team is from Wilmington. How one individual Andrew Keener, the CTO is, is temporarily in, in the Charlotte area for family reasons, but ultimately, once we achieve our goals, which is right now raising a seed round, we will be, be working out of Wilmington for the foreseeable future. Janet:                                02:10                   So we mentioned that we're going to be in Eureka Park, which is where brand new companies with exciting ideas in consumer electronics are looking for potential customers and potential partners, and investors. The name of your company is Brilliant Sole spelled S-o-l-e. It must have something to do with feet. So what is Brilliant Sole? Jeff:                                    02:34                   So Brilliant Sole is the ultimate smart footwear platform for VR and creators and Brilliant Sole was created ultimately to solve the locomotion problem in virtual reality. And that's how do we control movement in virtual spaces and it's grown a little bit. There's a reason we have the end creators on the end of that. And to solve that problem, we had to create this really flexible system. So it's a sensor embedded footwear system and it connects to mobile devices and PC devices and it streams data a really, really quickly to those devices. And we're able to kind of calculate what we want them to do once that data gets there. It's created kind of a big picture for us. We kind of don't want to go too far down that road yet. We're really focused on that one problem and we think it's a big enough problem where this is a really great entry point for us. Janet:                                03:31                   Ultimately it is a great, great product for creators, but, but we're focused on VR, virtual reality for the time being. All right, so let's talk about function might not be fully experienced in virtual reality. Maybe their whole experience is with a Wii or something like that. Why is your product going to be helpful to folks? I understand that it's about small spaces,but it's not like I've got a VR headset on and I'm going to go jog around the block. Jeff:                                    04:00                   So, so in, in virtual reality, we're limited to a small space like you just just mentioned there, but we need to travel vast distances in VR. So when I said you can literally go visit the Grand Canyon, in VR, the space in virtual reality is unlimited. So how do you go about traveling 50 feet in a straight line now? Jeff:                                    04:20                   Well, you're using a joystick a or there's a method called teleportation, which you point to a direction 50 feet ahead of you and it teleports your body to that place. Again, in this virtual space. So let's say I wanted to go down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, instantly you would point down to that space and it would teleport your body. Well, that's a great feature to have, but it does a couple of things. So it breaks the user's sense of immersion, which is the point of virtual reality is to make you, to trick your body into believing that you're there. So it, it disrupts that. And then also for a traditional game play and then for, for simulation training experiences, it's just not realistic. It again, it, it, it breaks the continuity of those experiences. So we needed a better way to travel 50 feet or 100 feet or a thousand feet in a straight line or any direction that you want to travel. Jeff:                                    05:19                   And we thought the simplest way to do that would be controlling movement with your feet. Like we're used to. It also lets you free up your hands to engage with that virtual worlds. And of course, when you think simulation training, we are in some discussions with US military as well. So you can think of different reasons why they would be interested in controlling movement with your feet like we do in the real world for the most part. So, that is what we're trying to solve and we're trying to solve that in the simplest possible way. So with a system that can be embedded in as small of a form factor as a shoe insole packed into that insole, we have multiple sensors that measure force underneath your feet. They measure pitch, acceleration and they also incorporate those vibration motors and they also charge wirelessly. So it's this really simple system that, that does a whole lot. Janet:                                06:15                   Okay? So a, you're making virtual reality much more like reality. So that's cool. Jeff:                                    06:22                   That is the ultimate goal. Yes. Of course there are, there are constraints. again, we are limited to that small space, but ultimately we're trying to make it as real as possible in the most possible, the best cost effective way in simplest possible way. And we found that that's with a footwear system that works really, really easily, but that allows you to use it while you're sitting or use it while you're standing or to be able to control motion from a number of different input methods, whether that be a walking in place or whether that be, I'm just leaning in the direction your intended direction that you want to go. So that's one of the things that's been found that in virtual reality, different people have different preferences for how they like to use it. So unlike traditional video games now, whether someone's right handed or left handed, that actually comes into play again because we're in this virtual space and it's mimicking reality. So how we interact with that virtual world should mimic reality in the best way possible. Janet:                                07:32                   Now I see lots of applications and I know as a new company you need to focus on probably the group that's going to most easily adapt. And that is the gaming group. They're the ones most interested in new and innovative products. They're the ones who are going to give us the hardest test and you already mentioned a military applications, I can see that, but since my background is in healthcare, I automatically see some things that would be awesome for senior citizens of ways to do, you know, low impact exercise, low impact gaming. Also from the standpoint of just sensors that might have fall alert in them. There are just a million things you can do with this. This is awesome. Jeff:                                    08:14                   Oh, absolutely. This comes up, depending on who you're talking to, they say, wow, you can do this with it. While you can do that with it. I mean, you could do, you could have just a simple of an application as telling you, hey buddy, you've been sitting too long today. Maybe you should get up because it's unhealthy. There are a lot of practical applications and ultimately we want to solve this tough problem of VR locomotion. But again, we want creative people to take these things and run with them. We want to support that. So again, due to solve that problem for VR and then to work within the video gaming space, you to create a system that people can work with and customize to that experience that they're working with. In order to do that, you have to have a system that they can, again, that other developers can work with really easily. Jeff:                                    09:09                   Those other developers might not be virtual reality or video game developers. So we realize that, and this is one of the reasons why we want to introduce the product and the right way, but we also do recognize the. We see the big picture here to thank that. We focus on very VR. We solve that problem really, really well. We give people a good enough reason to purchase them from the get go. And we think within that space, VR enthusiasts, people who really care about this problem, we think that there are a lot of highly capable of creatives. People that are good at, they're gonna have those same opinions that you have, Janet and they're going to really run with it and they and they may want to go after a solving additional problems and we want to encourage that too. That's the great thing about what we're making. Jeff:                                    09:58                   We think that there are real world problems that people could solve with these. We think that we're, we're targeting the best entry point to and, and, and this is what interests us to, and this is how we got it. This is why we got into it. And this is what excites us, but there are other things that excite other people too and, and we're providing them with this really cool system that they might be able to work on other things with. So let's talk about the Consumer Electronics Show, the biggest consumer electronic show in the world, taking place in Las Vegas, all of Las Vegas. It seems like in the second week of January you will be there with a demonstration of your product, which is really exciting. Now will you actually have like demos, shoes for people to put on or are you going to demonstrate the product for individuals there? Jeff:                                    10:45                   We are planning, we're planning right now on having something that that other people can demo a, so I'm actually going to be making some some custom pairs of some flip flop versions of our footwear because ultimately it's a system that can be embedded in than any type of footwear really, and we want something that people can take on and off really easily and actually try themselves now. That's what we're shooting for, but we're gauging a day by day and we want to present them in the best possible way. We're gauging that day by day. We do have some, some pretty significant people that are planning to visit the booth where we want to make sure that we show it to them in the best possible way to and some of these people. It's a little bit terrifying because again, we are up until just a couple of weeks ago, we were a bootstrapped startup. Jeff:                                    11:34                   This has been a fun journey, but of course you can move a lot more with money and we ultimately are competent that we've, we've created something pretty powerful with, with pretty scant resources and we want to be able to show people, hey look, look, if we were able to do this with really a lot of just a lot of time and effort and expertise, we have a pretty strong team to give us a little bit of money and in and look what we're going to deal with it. We're going to run with this thing. Janet:                                12:07                   Well, I understand you've had a little taste of CES in the recent past. You were actually at one of the CES unveiled events. You are one of the 10 startups that were invited to present there. What happened? How'd it go? Jeff:                                    12:19                   Oh, that was exciting. So we met a lot of a really, really cool people, a handful of investors. So we've had some, some followup conversations with a and then a bunch of press people to. And that, that was really the first kind of out in the open public showing of, of our actual physical product. So we let people pick it up and hold it and they were able to see through, built on one of our SDKS, which is a software development kit for unity, which is the largest VR development platform in the world. So we have a system again, can, we could hand these to a developer now and they could start working with them to be able to show that data streaming through on a mobile device. So we did have a little area and as we weren't able to bring a full VR setup and to show the demo, but we were able to show our physical product and how it works streaming that data through and, and we got a lot of positive feedback. They were excited by the product and of course we got the, the people saying, Oh, you could, how many medical applications you can try. Jeff:                                    13:28                   But, but ultimately that's a space that it would require significant knowledge of to navigate. So, we're hoping that some potential third party partners want to come in and help us navigate that space and in due time too. We're just focused on producing something exciting to show and we're focused on the problem and that is for virtual reality. Janet:                                13:51                   So speaking of producing where and how are these going to get produced? Are you going to have to build them locally? Are you going to have to go international to get them developed? Jeff:                                    14:03                   Well, so, so we're in the process of figuring that out. and there are going to be possibly can some constraints based on, on who the end users of the product are, at least initially, but we're in the process of working with a professional footwear designer because I can tell you that I designed what we have myself so far and I think I did a pretty decent job with that, but it's not my trade. We have something. I think it looks pretty cool. It's impressive to show. I don't mind showing these to anyone. whereas if you saw the first versions that I made myself a little bit embarrassed, Jeff:                                    14:39                   But of course I was proud of it. It was a lot of work, but now we really have something that you can see that wow, this is actually pretty close to an end product. We have our own custom circuit boards stuffed in, in there, can tell you the circuit boards right now are in the process of being redesigned a. So they actually fit perfectly. We weren't initially going to have that, every everything embedded in the insole. So we're in the process of redesigning that. But, but everything works. All of the circuits, the chips we're working with are running on custom, a custom firmware. The software works, we're refining that. There is still a long way to go. There's, there's, there is a very big picture to this. We did a lot of things wrong too. Jeff:                                    15:22                   I mean we've been working on this for, for a couple of years. We figured out a lot of what not to do and that that's helpful though. I mean, I think anyone, when you create something that doesn't exist, that that's just part of the process. The good thing is is we know where we need to go right now. Yeah. It's just trying to stay focused really because. Because there are so many things and I'm the. I'm the one that my business partners, the Co-founders telling me say focus Jeff's. They Focus Jeff and I say, you guys, you're right. You're right. First first thing at hand. Let's get something that works really, really well so that we can show it at CES and then let's go from there. Yeah, it is. It is exciting. Have a lot of ideas myself, but I have to temper that. Jeff:                                    16:05                   No, I do have a design question because obviously we are talking about human beings where we could have feet from the size of a fifth grader have to have professional athletes who are going to want to wear these things and obviously if the sensors are like trying to tie into the ball of the foot, that's going to be in a lot of different places depending on the size of the foot. So is this something that once you've got the prototype up and running, you're actually going to have to create in sizes? Jeff:                                    16:32                   We do, and that's only because the system works so much better, where the sensors do have to be placed in specific regions underneath the foot and there are a lot of good reasons why you have to have to have it that way and it's just, it, it just makes for so much of a better, a more flexible system and in to solve the problem for, for virtual reality requires that, at least at least right now, there are some other ways to go about it. We are looking at those things too. But the best way to do it now is the way we're doing it. Janet:                                17:06                   How long is this journey taken you personally? Jeff:                                    17:09                   It's when I made that observation, that controlling movement in VR right now is terrible. That was my observation. I said, wow, there has to be a better way to do this. That was, about three years ago. And at the time I was just, I refer to myself on the website is a hyper curious tinker. I mean that's a little bit quirky, Corny, but trying to be a little bit humorous. I am a very curious person and I like to tinker with things and, and I was looking for an excuse to play around with some Arduino microprocessors. I thought, hey, I could possibly solve this problem. And it really was it casual. I didn't really think about it like that. Like, okay, this could be a business the time. It started out as a simple experiment and it just worked really, really well. What I was able to do was put sensors that measure force underneath an insole and attached them to one of those Arduino microprocessors. Of course, there is a, some circuits that had to be built in so they can, can work properly. Jeff:                                    18:09                   The first experiment was just seeing that data coming across and, the harder you push down on your feet, that data would change. in real time. I said, okay, here we go, and we may have something here. And then with actually the help of a friend, a really very talented friend, he helped me write a simple program that emulated the keyboard keys, that control movement in pc video games. It was one of those things that took a little bit of tweaking, but once we got it, it works surprisingly well. Really, really well, like better than how it's, how it was being done. And we said, Whoa, wow, if something, this simple could be better than how this is being done now, we may have something and it's just been a journey of steady progression. Then, that's Kinda let us here. Ultimately I would have liked to have moved faster, but we also again figured out a lot of what not to do too. Jeff:                                    19:05                   So maybe it was better that we didn't expand too much time and resources going down the wrong path. You kind of all happened at a certain time for a reason. And in VR, of course, you know how it was in a big hype cycle a couple of years ago and that's cooled down significantly. Gartner who does market research, they took virtual reality off of the emerging technologies list because it's here, it's here. Now. The consumer side might not really see that tremendous growth, but the commercial side has. So where you see th innovation continuing in these really expensive headsets is on the commercial side. For instance, Audi just announced that they're going to put VR headsets in 1000 of their dealerships. you have Walmart who is using virtual reality to train employees. And number of other big box stores are doing the same thing. You have professional sports teams, professional college teams, of course, they've been doing this for years to, of course the US military is doing this. Jeff:                                    20:02                   So it's kind of creeping up. and I think it's going to creep up on people. Of course there are, there are a lot of complex problems, so it needs to be solved and it needs to become better. But those are being addressed in. There are profitable companies within the VR space. So I think that the timing might be right for us because again, we're not, we're not quite there yet. We have work to do, we are in the startup pavilion for her reason, but we are pretty close to and we do have something that we think we can introduce to a community solving that, that simple problem for them and they're going to make it better for us because they're going to build the custom applications for their games and for their VR experiences for those training simulations and it's gonna make the system. That's just how, how this works, Janet:                                20:49                   The more you talk, the more I get more ideas of how you could apply this. Forget the gaming sensors in shoes to analyze workflow process in hospitals, how far people are walking and is there a way that we could eliminate these steps if you redesigned these hallways or you redesigned these buildings where, this was here and that was there. And guess what, you've just saved somebody, a quarter of a mile of walking a day or whatever or this is cool. Jeff:                                    21:19                   There are systems that can do that kind of, we think we could actually interact with those. so we all know that for some reason I don't have a smartwatch. I'm a tech Geek, but I don't have a smartwatch yet. All my first thousand Brilliant Sole pairs I can celebrate by buying myself a smartwatch. There's a goal, but everyone counts her steps. I think everyone knows that the step count isn't that accurate? I mean, I think it's accurate enough people, people will feel happy, I think no matter what, when they get to their 10,000 steps, but ultimately sure, integrating a sensor, a better footwear system with that, what would actually make it a lot more accurate. And then we'll also open up again a range of other possibilities too. Janet:                                22:01                   Let's see. I liked to do Zumba for exercise and according to my watch, my smartwatch, I'm getting 7,000 steps in an hour of Zumba. If you blow that bubble, I'm going to be really upset at you. But on the other hand, I work my butt off at Zoomba and I think I deserve more than 7,000 steps. I'd be very interested to hear what my feet were telling my hands. Jeff:                                    22:23                   Maybe it's not for everyone. This is too honest for me. Janet:                                22:32                   Well, you are going to love your time at CES and I hope your Brilliant Soles are also comfortable and have a little Dr Shoal influence because it's going to be a long day on your feet, especially with you using your fetus as much as you are. And I wish you a ton of luck. This is going to be, I think, a very exciting product. And I'm excited to say that I knew Jeff Guard when... Jeff:                                    22:58                   That's slightly ahead of, ahead of where we are. But I, I'm, I'm certainly trying for that. I think we're a ways off though. Janet:                                23:06                   Well, good luck to you and I look forward to working with you in the CES booth as we celebrate ideas coming from the startup community in North Carolina. Again, we're going to be at the Eureka Park at CES 2019 if you want to follow the action. Our hashtag is Hashtag #CES19NC for North Carolina, so everybody. Be sure to follow that Hashtag and you'll see some of the exciting things going on in just our area where we are five of 800 booth locations and that is just one part of CES going to be an amazing week. So, we'll see you all there. And in the second week of January, Jeff, I think you're going to have a great show. Jeff:                                    23:54                   We're really excited. Thank you very much, Janet. Announcer:                      23:57                   We're looking forward to seeing you there. Thanks for listening to Trade Show Live!

Hi everyone! This is Connie Sokol, and you're listening to Balance Redefined Radio. I've spent over 20 years teaching people how to redefine what balance really is, meaning a more purposeful and joyful life.   They’ve paid off credit cards, lost weight, organize their homes, and created a meaningful life plan and they've managed their time, changed habits and experience greater success both at work and at home.   So now I decided to take the plunge and help about 100,000 new people who want to redefine balance in their lives. People ask me all the time, “How do I go from an overwhelming and chaotic life to more purpose and organization and joy?”   That's the reason why I'm doing this podcast, to give you trusted answers and create a space where you could find balance. My name is Connie Sokol and welcome to Balance Redefined Radio…   [00:01] Welcome back to Balance Redefined! I am giddy this morning-yeah, a new word. I'm giddy because I just finished my workout. This is the motivation and inspiration that I had literally while I am doing my Zoomba. I was holding my phone and making notes for this podcast because I felt so happy.   [00:19] When is the last time that you have felt happy working out? If you work out regularly or if you're doing it, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you don't, then I'm telling you I forgot.   [00:30] I forgot how good this felt and I'll tell you why. Over the last, I don't know, 10, 15, 20 years, you know, I have been up and down having seven children with weight and all of that, the weight loss, weight gain and all of that. I've exercise to some degree over those 20 years, but as far as loving it, not until I figured out my own little method did I start loving working out.   [00:51] And so here's my thoughts for you today: three tips to get off the couch and jumpstart your fitness. I am so excited. I'm trying to hold back my energy to not be so gushing because I will share with you what happened.   [01:04] I usually do a variety of things. It just depends on the season and how that works. So several months ago I was doing zumba because it was the beginning of the year into the early spring. Then when it hits like late spring and summer I like to switch it and I go walking.   [01:21] We have a park in an area that's just right by us and so I like to do that, but right now it's the fall and while I was doing that, you know, we had had these experiences recently where we had had Back-To-School...   [01:32] Then I had gone to that trip with my daughter to pick her up from nannying in France. So we had gone to Europe and then came back and then we were evacuated for the fires. Then we had the flood and sandbagging for possible flooding.   [01:43] Then right after that, we'd already scheduled to go to this week long orphanage trip to help with the orphans in Mexico. So we've been kind of busy and we have not really had a consistent on a workout schedule.   [01:53] Have you been there? You're just like, "Literally, I don't know if I can fit in sleep right now."   [01:58] All during that I'm doing all kinds of things because my business partner and I had started kind of exploding in lots of different things that were happening.   [02:04] Then I had to take care of those while the kids are at school. So it was crazy. Has it been crazy like that and you're like, "I don't know how I can fit in?"   [02:10] "I don't know if I even want to fit in working out quite frankly."   [02:14] And that's really where it stems from. It's that beginning desire. Right? But here's the deal. Sometimes we wait until that desire hits us. When guess what?   [02:23] We have to get that desire...   [02:25] We have to jumpstart it with doing something to create that desire. Because generally speaking, it's not going to like show up in our wheaties is not going to walk down upon us like a sweet little air freshener.   [02:37] It's not going to happen that way. So what happened this last week is I was going back through some cradle life plan things, module stuff and I started retooling at the end of the year. I like to retool my life plan and so I don't wait until January.   [02:50] I like to kind of assess the year, November, December, really have an evaluative, enjoyable, kind of a spiritual thinking back and evaluated last year.   [02:59] Really I'm calling from all the wonderful experiences I've had learning from the ones that were not that wonderful.   [03:04] Then I'll share more about that with you in another podcast when it gets a little bit closer to that, but how you kind of do your year end review just in a fun way.   [03:11] Not like in a tax audit way. No, like in a really fun way really if you can take an overnight or hotel and that kind of thing. So I want you to think of it in a positive.   [03:19] So this was my feeling this last week...   [03:22] I had this nice little time when I was by myself. It was amazing that I was able to have that...   [03:28] I just had my little notepad, my little legal pad, my pen, my sticky notes, and cuddled into my bed all nice and cozy with my pajamas. I was really thinking and praying about my life.   [03:40] Anyway, I started writing down some things and one of them was I wanted to get back into regular workout schedule because I remember my soul remembers how good it feels. Sometimes we don't remember.   [03:51] We forget. And it's like after you have a baby, then you say, "Oh, that baby," and you're so happy that you kind of forget after a while the birthing process and all of that.   [04:00] And that's what makes the, you know, the human race still, you know, continue because it propagates by the fact that we forget the pain....ha ha ha!   [04:09] So it's reversed...   [04:10] We forget the joy of working out and we only remember the pain.   [04:14] So I am here to tell you, I just finished my workout and I feel so fabulous. I feel energetic. It's like my soul just went, "Oh Connie, thank you..."   [04:24] "Thank you for cleaning me out. I feel like I just got rid of toxins. I just was able to get all that oil out of the car, all this fresh clean stuff."   [04:33] I felt like I drank 64 ounces of fresh clean water. I had so much fun. And guess what? It was only 20 minutes. Twenty minutes.   [04:42] So I've just got three quick tips for you today. If you're like, "Man, do I get out of bed? Do I get up off this couch? Do I stop watching Netflix and do I really do something?"   [04:53] I'm here to tell you, "Yes, yes."   [04:55] And it doesn't matter if you do it for five minutes, for 20 minutes, for 45 minutes...   [04:59] It doesn't matter. What matters is you move. If you don't remember anything else I say in this podcast, move.   [05:06] Your body craves movement and we know all the benefits...   [05:10] We know all the benefits. We're not dumb. We know it helps our incredibly helps our immune system, our nervous system. It makes her skin glow already. I feel like I just had this cute, shiny face. Your metabolism is higher.   [05:24] You burn calories even after you work out. I mean...your bones are strengthened. There's so many benefits of working out. I seriously want to smack my head on the wall and go, "Why don't I do this? This is a no brainer."   [05:37] But we still end up making it a choice, don't we? And I'll tell you why we make it hard on herself. So here's three quick tips, okay? First and foremost, you must make it enjoyable. It has to be enjoyable.   [05:51] So let me tell you the three right away, enjoyable, simple, and sustainable. So the first one, enjoyable. You've got to find something you love.   [05:59] If you don't like walking, then don't start with walking. If you don't like yoga, don't start with Yoga. Start with something you love. And if you're like, "I don't know, when I like," stopped whining and find something. There are 50 bazillion things out there.   [06:13] Find something you love...   [06:14] There is yoga, tight-chi, maybe bowling, gardening, yeah. All of that is a workout, right? So figure out what it is that you love to do.   [06:25] I love to dance. Now I always say there's two kinds of workouts, right? Really two kinds of workout people. There's athletic and there's dancy and the Dansie people, they love Zoomba.   [06:36] They love Yoga. They love flexing their body and doing kind of cool things.   [06:40] I would say sometimes even for dancing people, yoga is a little bit of a stretch. Ahah! Pun intended...   [06:46] So the dancing people though, they like to move...   [06:48] They like that quick step. They like to feel their body do all these kinds of contortions. The athletic people, they're like, "I can't do three steps together to save my life, but I can do burpees like for an hour..."   [07:00] So you get what I'm saying?...   [07:01] So find something enjoyable, find something you love. I love Zumba and I love the movement,and oh my gosh!   [07:09] I have these dvds and I put them on this morning and I thought, I'm just, you know, I might got my kids out the door and I could have gone back under the covers. It was such a cozy fall morning and I didn't. I said, "You know what? I'm just going to try it. Do a couple of minutes, just kind of get back in the groove, see what I need to do," and guess what?   [07:25] My shoes were where they were supposed to be.   [07:27] My clothes are where they're supposed to be, and that's in the simple. You put those things exactly where they need to be so that it's simple to do. I knew where the DVD was. I knew I had to bring the clicker. I knew I had to pull the little decorative carpet off the hardwood floor downstairs so that I could dance. I knew this rhythm...   [07:45] So give yourself a couple of times to be able to get in that rhythm. Once you find something that you love to do and it's fun. In fact, I even call my workouts in my program, the balance redefined program, FUN workouts, and it stands for-For Your Nurture- so FUN workouts.   [08:02] Once you find that FUN workout, then go to that next step. Make it simple, have FUN. Have those clothes where they need to be, have the dvds where they need to be, have your gym pass where it needs to be. Have your car ready to go. You know you have gas because you're going to go in the morning. Do all of those things so that you are prepared for success so that it makes it simple.   [08:20] If it's not simple, I'm not doing it...   [08:23] In fact, this morning when I had that first thought I was getting the kids breakfast and blah, blah, blah, and I thought, "Oh, I'm going to go change my workout clothes right now because I know my personal success mantra is if I put on my workout clothes, I will work out."   [08:37] The percentage of success for that is 99 percent, because I will not take off my workout clothes unless I've done something. It feels like a waste of energy to me. Now it takes me about 35 seconds to change clothes, but it is a mental game.   [08:52] This is all a mental game, so mentally I know if I've got my workout clothes on, there's 99 percent chance I'm working out, so find a way that makes that simple for you. And again, if it's a DVD, make sure you find it. I want to start doing some melodies and I know I have some dvds that I like and I'm going to go find them in the workout drawer so that they are handy for me to do.   [09:13] I know my daughter, she loves yoga and she has these youtube videos that she does with this Gal. Please post your comments below. I would love, love to hear what you have to say about the workouts that you love so that we can all get some fun ideas and maybe some things we hadn't considered, so please comment and post away. I would love it.   [09:31] It will help and bless other people's lives. But she loves yoga and it's funny because she won't do it for awhile, but then once she starts it, she can't stop. She loves it, like loves doing it and she does it at night.   [09:44] I know for a long time I did body for life and I loved it, but I got so freaked out about not working out at night until I saw that there was a couple in there that had actually lost weight and gotten fit and in shape and they did it at night together.   [09:57] So that's a great thing to do. Do it in a way that makes it simple and doable for you.   [10:03] That takes us into the last one which is sustainable. Make it sustainable...   [10:06] I have started looking at gyms that are right around us so that I only drive five to 10 minutes because if it's longer than that, not going to do it.   [10:16] If I have to drive longer than I would work out, I'm not going to go there. That's all there is to it. That's just me and I want to find a gym that I can take my kids to because guess what ?   [10:26] I talked with my kids. I got the family buy in and they said they would love to go to a gym a couple of nights a week. There's a place that my child, my six year old, can play and the rest of them can do the things that they want to do. Their total family experience. Right?   [10:39] And we're not doing it all the time. So if we do it on our family night night, then we can do our regular kind of learning life skills. Part of family night on Sunday night works great.   [10:48] Then we can go party on a Monday night and then afterwards if they want a smoothie that's healthy, great, because I'm telling them stop worrying about carbs and calories and all of that.   [10:58] Move and eat balanced and eat healthy and at this stage of your life you will be great because they're young, they're teenagers and it's working. It's keeping them healthy and strong without being obsessed. So sustainable...   [11:11] That's why I do the Zumba Dvds. I know that if I can get up and do that 20 minutes then in the morning it's done. I'm showered, I'm ready for the day. I'm not worried about anything after that. It's optional.   [11:23] Another thing is, the reason why I switched to walking in the summer is because, like I said, I can do it with my kids.   [11:30] My six year old can go play on the swings. I have my teenagers. One of them stays right there and she does her art because she likes to do more stretching stuff and then she'll do her art right there, so she's watching him and the others will go walk around, but we still see him as we walk around and take our laps and it's beautiful.   [11:45] It's outside. It's in trees. It's lovely. We have just this gorgeous park area where you can still see things, but then there are these trees that are dotted around. It's beautiful.   [11:55] So make it sustainable, make it something that you'll love to do.   [12:00] Again, three quick tips to just get you jump started because we forget...   [12:04] We forget how good it feels and that's why I wanted to podcast right now. I don't know if you can feel it, but I hope you can feel my energy and my desire and my joy because I feel so good.   [12:16] I am ready for this day and it's a Monday. I am ready for this day. I've got meetings, I've got a bunch of errands. I got stuff to do with my kids. I've got a whole bunch of stuff. We've got a holiday coming up in a few days. It is just, it's busy, but I am clean and clear and I have this energy boost.   [12:33] I know I did it for the right amount of time because you should feel energized after you work out. If you're not feeling energized then you either didn't do it for the right amount of time or you did the wrong thing, so find that thing you love, do it for the time that feels good and do it in a way that is sustainable for you...   [12:50] I promise you it is something you will keep doing for life. I keep coming back to these. It's been 20 years. Like I said, I keep coming back to doing dvds and walking and Zumba palates, doing a little bit of weight training.   [13:04] I do strength and toning. This little lunges and squat routine that I do, it's like 15 minutes, and I do lunges and squats and some jumping jacks and some crunches and I love it.   [13:18] I do it while we're listening to scripture. I do it while we're watching a show in the morning if the kids are getting ready. There my little one just wants to watch wild kratts. I'm doing it quick while he's doing that and just getting kind of awake for the day.   [13:29] So like I said, it brings joy. It brings joy to me, brings joy to my family, and it's something that is doable for a lifetime. So I invite you.   [13:39] Get up off that couch, get up out of that car. Go walk extra to the grocery store. Park farther away from work, all those extra steps, they matter, they count. Do things that will make you happy and that you can sustain...   [13:53] ... and you will feel the benefits of fitness. Not just weight loss or weight maintenance, but that beautiful skin, the higher metabolism, that beautiful appetite for healthy things and that feeling of your body moving in such a beautiful, happy, healthy youthful way. You will be thrilled. All right, stay tuned for more balance redefined. You got it. Thanks for listening and remember to rate and subscribe.

All this and more... on WW1 Centennial News -- a weekly podcast brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission, the Pritzker Military Museum and Library and the Starr foundation. I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] Preface Just one year after the declaration of war, 100 years ago, it is time for the third Liberty Loan drive to raise money to pay for the war effort. Let me put the Liberty Loan drive into perspective for you. In early 20th century thinking, Woodrow Wilson’s government was completely clear that the war would be financed by money raised specifically for it. And a majority of that money was to come from the American People - ordinary citizens. By contrast, today in our late 20th /early  21st century, money for our wars and military expenditures are financed from a big boiling cauldron called the national debt. Today the average American Citizen feel little or no real connection with or responsibility for our military expenditures.    Not so in 1917 and 1918. In those two years, during four Bond drives, twenty million individuals purchase Liberty War bonds. 20 million investors is pretty impressive given that there were only twenty-four million households in America at the time. More than 17 billion dollars are raised. In addition, taxes are collected to the sum of 8.8 billion dollars… in short, $26 billion dollars is gathered to finance the fight in WWI. Now that’s in 1918 dollars. Today that equates to nearly ½ a TRILLION dollars raised in bonds, largely from citizen, specifically for a purpose. With that as background, let’s jump into our centennial time machine a take a look at the national fundraising effort and a whole lot more 100 years ago this week in the war that changed the world. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week On April 6th 1918 - President Wilson makes a speech to launch the third Liberty Bond Campaign. Here is his declaration as reported in the pages of the Official Bulletin - The government’s war Gazette published by Wilson’s propaganda chief George Creel. [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1918 The headline Reads: The President delivered the following address at Baltimore to-night on the occasion of the opening of the Third Liberty Loan Campaign: “Fellow Citizens: This is the anniversary of our acceptance of Germany's challenge to fight for our right to live and be free, and for the sacred rights of free men everywhere. The Nation is awake. There is no need to call to it. We know what the war must cost, our utmost sacrifice, the lives of our fittest men and, if need be, all that we possess. The loan we are met to discuss is one of the least parts of what we are called upon to give and to do, though in itself imperative. The people of the whole country are alive to the necessity of it, and are ready to lend to the utmost, even where it involves a sharp skimping and daily sacrifice to lend out of meagre earnings. They will look with reprobation and contempt upon those who can and will not, upon those who demand a higher rate of interest, upon those who think of it as a mere com-. mercial transaction. I have not come, therefore, to urge the loan. I have come only to give you, if I can, a more vivid conception of what it is for.” The president goes on to explain the situation on the ground in europe and the dire need for America as a nation to take a stand, take a lead and defend all that the nation holds dear. And so kicks off the third Liberty bond campaign. A few days later the Official Bulletin reports on the Cabinet’s Liberty Bond appeal Dateline: TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1918 The Headline reads: CABINET MEMBERS APPEAL TO ALL TRUE AMERICANS TO SUPPORT WITH THEIR DOLLARS OUR GALLANT FIGHTERS IN THE FIELD; BUY LIBERTY BONDS, THEY ASK, IN PROOF OF YOUR PATRIOTISM The article goes on with a number of cabinet members presenting their appeal of the importance and patriotic imperative for buying bond.. But my favorite part comes at the end of the full page article with a subheadline of: [SOUND EFFECT] WHAT LIBERTY BONDS WILL BUY. The article reads: Eighteen thousand dollars invested- in Liberty bonds will equip an infantry battalion with rifles. Fifty thousand dollars will construct a base hospital with 500 beds, or equip an infantry brigade with pistols. One hundred thousand dollars will buy five combat airplanes, or pistols, rifles. and half a million rounds of ammunition for an infantry regiment. Just like today - contributors to a cause want to know exactly what their contribution is buying! These guys know exactly what they are are doing! In another smart move, presumably pulled off by George Creel - the campaign cleverly recruits four of the most popular movie stars of the day and puts them on the road to help raise money. The headline reads: LIBERTY LOAN SPEAKING TOURS FOR FOUR MOTION PICTURE STARS And the story opens with: Today we are announcing The itineraries of Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and Marguerite Clark for their speaking tours during the forthcoming Liberty loan campaign! And the article continues with the schedule of appearances by the stars. Then on Saturday April 13th 1918, just one week after launching the campaign, the headline in the official bulletin reads TOTAL SALES OF LIBERTY BONDS AS REPORTED TO THE TREASURY, PASS THE HALF BILLION MARK AS SCORES OF TOWNS EXCEED QUOTAS It’s a big week on the home front - raising money 100 years ago, for America’s participation in a war that changed  the world!

Here is a story that is not covered in the government press - and doesn’t really pop up in the popular press either - But 100 years ago this week, The 369th US Infantry Regiment goes to the front lines to fight --- but with the French! - on April 8th 1918 the 369th is amalgamated into French Army. But wait a minute….. - Didn’t General Pershing insist on keeping the American Expeditionary Forces together as a distinct American fighting force.   Well yea - he did - but Pershing’s insistence on keeping all American forces together didn’t extend to the black troops in the segregated US Army.   Among them were the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, redesignated the 369th Infantry Regiment but better known as the Harlem Rattler or the Harlem Hellfighters.   Now Pershing presumably didn’t have any problems with black soldiers per se, but the question of how to use black troops in the front lines, where they’d have to rely on the full cooperation of white units on either side, was really gnarly. The online blog “today in World War 1,  posted a quote from Hamilton Fish - a New Yorker, who served as one of the regiment’s white officers: Quote: The French were crying out for U.S. regiments to go into the French Army.  So I guess Pershing figured he could kill two birds with one stone–solve the problem on what to do with us and give something to Foch.  From then on we spent our entire service in the French Army. Oh officially we were still the 369th U.S. Infantry, but to all intent and purposes we were francais. The post goes on with a quote from Noble Sissle, who served in the regiment’s famous band: We were fully equipped with French rifles and French helmets.  Our wagons, our rations, our machine guns and everything pertaining to the equipment of the regiment for trench warfare was supplied by the French Army. The 369th went on to serve with great distinction spending more time on the front line that any other US forces… with a fierceness and bravery that never gave ground to the enemy. A proud combat service started 100 years ago this week, in the war the changed the world... http://today-in-wwi.tumblr.com/post/172746986523/369th-us-infantry-regiment-begins-front-line [MUSIC TRANSITION] Great War Project Continuing to explore the story on the front, we are going to go to Mike Shuster former NPR correspondent and curator for the Great War project Blog…. Mike: Your post this week speaks to what can only be thought of as moment of total desperation for the British lines… It has just been exactly two years since they brutally put down Ireland’s Easter Uprising - Now they are trying to conscript them - They are not having much luck drafting more Canadian either - General Haig puts out his out his inspirational “Backs To The Wall” Order - and at this very moment of do or die - Well… you story this week closes on a note of hope.

As Mike indicated, this is the time when the American infantry does arrive on the front… The boys are fresh, healthy and eager when compared to their battle weary allies. They’re also green. The Germans want to -- Maybe they NEED TO discredit them. The school of combat is now is session for the Americans. And the lessons begin 100 years ago this week in Seicheprey - lessons for all sides. And Ed is here to tell you the story: [Ed Lengel] [MUSIC TRANSITION] Dr. Edward Lengel is an American military historian, author, and our segment host for America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI.

A Century in the Making The Maquette and it’s Travels We have an update for our segment: A century in the making - America’s WW1 Memorial in Washington DC. As our regular listeners know, we are building a national WWI Memorial at Pershing Park in the nation’s capital. It’s a big project. And It’s been a long time coming. We spoke with sculptor Sabin Howard back in episodes #54 and #55 about a new process. Sabin combined advanced 3D printing technology at the WETA Workshop in New Zealand with traditional classic sculpture techniques to create a 10’ miniature draft the sculptural centerpiece for the memorial. The result is called a maquette. We made two of them to show America and to help us raise money for this strictly publicly funded memorial. One maquette was on display at the Visitor's Center in the Tennessee Bicentennial Mall, in downtown Nashville --- right in front of the state capital. It was quite a hit at the Tennessee Great War Commission's event this last Saturday, where it was featured as part of the presentation from Terry Hamby - the WW1 Centennial Commission Chairman. Both Maquettes are being prepped for a busy schedule of showings at special events and fundraisers around the country. We will keep you updated as the schedule evolves… Katherine - You went to a fundraiser on wednesday and got your first look at the sculpture that is called “A soldier’s Journey” - what was your first reaction?

Collections of soldier’s letters and diaries from the war continue to be discovered and rediscovered one hundred years after they were first written. As we have learned from a number of museum curators, they offer an amazing opportunity to help understand this event in history as they bring in  a first person point of view. Today, we’re joined by Dr. Ian Isherwood, Visiting Assistant Professor at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania who is doing exactly that. Welcome, Dr. Isherwood! [greetings/welcome] [Dr. Isherwood-- you’ve been using Wartime letters from Lieutenant Colonel Jack Peirs, a British Soldier as the foundation for teaching history to your students. For context, can you tell us briefly about the soldier, and how you came across his letters?] [Did you build up a following? ] [At the commission we are really interested in the techniques for teaching this subject - What advice do you have for others who may want to undertake an educational programme like this?] [Would this work for younger student educators?] [we've found that the first person POV gives you insight you cant get from just plain facts... do you find that to be true?] [You’re also personally working on a new, upcoming book -- can you tell us a little about it?] [goodbyes/thank you] Dr. Ian Isherwood is a Visiting Assistant Professor and the Chairperson of Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Uh uh definitely NOT P90X… It’s our Speaking WWI word this week - Pilates! Pilates is named for its inventor, Joseph Hubertus Pilates, who created it in Great Britain during WW1. Pilates, Interestingly was born a German citizen. He was a frail and sickly child who took to exercise for both his health and self-defense against bullies. He eventually grew into an accomplished boxer and martial artist, and traveled to England in 1912 to find work, picking up a job as a circus performer. When the war broke out, he was arrested as an enemy alien and interned on the Isle of Man. It was there that he came up with his method of mental and physical exertion, which he called “Contrology”, as a way to encourage his fellow inmates to stay healthy. Many prisoners were bedridden, and so Pilates invented a makeshift resistance-training machine out of springs and straps taken from the beds and attached to the foot and headboards. This use of resistance loads would later become a staple of the Pilates method. After the end of the war, Pilates emigrated to the US and settled in New York, where he and his wife, Clara, founded the first Body Contrology Studio in 1925. And of course that was the foundation for the trendy “new” exercise method -- known far and wide as Pilates. Pilates -- created by a German citizen prisoner in wartime -- and this week’s word for speaking WW1.

With us tell us about the project is Dr. Alice-Catherine Carls, the Tom Elam Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Tennessee at Martin, and member of the Tennessee Great War Commission.   Welcome Dr. Carls! [greetings] [Dr. Carls - your WWI Memorial honors both the women on the homefront in Tennessee and the men on the fighting front in France. That’s a really interesting approach… could you tell us more about that?] [It is very unique for a WWI memorial to honor both the homefront and the warefront. [Your project has a large research and community historical society component to it could you tell us about that?] [Have you been promoting the project locally? What has the community response been?] [MAYBE QUESTION: The memorial was designed as a fountain - but has been dry for a long time - I know in your grant application you hadn’t yet decided if you were going to get the fountain replumed - I have worked with water features before - It’s very tricky. Where is that idea at now?] [Are you planning a rededication this year?] Dr. Carls - thank you for leading this project on behalf of your community and on behalf of the men and women of your county who served both here and abroad in WWI [goodbyes/thank you] Dr. Alice-Catherine Carls, Professor of History at the University of Tennessee, and a member of the Tennessee Great War Commission.

In the early months of the war, amputations for wounded soldiers were at the same high levels as those of the civil war. In other words - very high! But by late 1915 that rate dropped dramatically! So, what happened? Well… That year, a French physician, Théodore Tuffier, testified to the Academy of Medicine that 70% of amputations weren’t because of the initial injury, but because of a later infection. As we have mentioned on the podcast before the mud-filled and deeply unsanitary conditions of trench warfare were a happy home for the bacteria that cause Gangrene. The antiseptics of the 19th century were inadequate. But two men: French doctor Alexis Carrel and British biochemist Henry Dakin came together under the cloud of war to combine their two discoveries to create one very effective method of disinfecting wounds. Dakin created a solution of sodium hypochlorite that managed to kill any bacteria in a wound, but didn’t damage the flesh surrounding it. Meanwhile Dr. Carrel developed a strategy of opening and thoroughly draining wounds. Put together, the Carrel-Dakin method proved the most effective antiseptic treatment to that date, and the procedure quickly spread into use all across Europe, saving an untold number of limbs from amputation. The Carrel-Dakin method-- an incredible leap forward in the treatment of field wounds -- and the subject of this week’s WW1 War Tech. We have put links in the podcast notes to learn more including a link to the commission’s website on medicine in WWI at ww1cc.org/medicine Link:  https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/02/world-war-i-medicine/517656/       https://www.rtbf.be/ww1/topics/detail_the-carrel-dakin-method?id=8356084 http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/injuries-in-world-war-i.html Articles and Posts For Articles and posts -- we are going to continue with the idea we launched last week of highlighting the features of the weekly dispatch newsletter.  So here we go.

Tennessee Living History and WW1 Literature Hi Theo -- As we commemorate 101 years since joining the First World War -- incredible events are beginning to take place across the country to remember those who served. Over the last weekend, Tennessee held a massive living history event in Nashville -- the very event that the Maquette recently appeared at! The Tennessee State Park System hosted the event, which included reproduction trenches, encampments and field kitchens, WW1 era aircraft and many reenactors -- including Suffragettes and Salvation Army doughnut lassies handing out freshly made treats. There was also a large group of reenactors representing the African American troops of Tennessee -- wearing the iconic French Adrian Helmet that was distributed to the troops amalgamated with French units -- and the whole weekend event was capped off with a period baseball game. We shared an article as well as an album of photos from the event on Facebook this week -- you can find links to those in the podcast notes. Lastly for the week -- we shared an article that instigated some spirited debate on our facebook page: a list of what the author considers 13 essential books on the American Expeditionary Forces. The list is a great starting place for anyone wanting to delve deeper into this chapter in American history -- but be sure to check the link to the facebook post to see all the recommendations made by our community -- there were many! That’s it for this week in the Buzz.
