Alumna Spotlight: Cristen High
Cristen High
2003 graduate serves as medical assistant program director at South Central College
Cristen High, MS, CMA (AAMA), AHI (AMT), earned an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in the Medical Assistant program at Dakota County Technical College, graduating in 2003. Cristen participated in Phi Theta Kappa at DCTC and completed her Medical Assistant internship at Allina Health Faribault. She worked in the clinic's Moderate Complexity Laboratory, performing a range of tasks, including DOT drug screenings and breath alcohol testing.
"I then took a position with Mayo Clinic Health System-EastRidge—ISJ-EastRidge at the time—to open their new clinic," Cristen said. "I was one of the initial medical assistants hired for the facility. I received the opportunity to train and work in multiple settings such as their lab and X-ray areas as well as the referral, allergy and family medicine departments."
Cristen went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Healthcare Management from Metropolitan State University in 2013 and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Educational Leadership and Higher Education Administration from Minnesota State University, Moorhead, in 2017. She is working on her doctorate at MSUM.
Today, Cristen, 41, serves as the director of the Medical Assistant program, Allied Health Department, at South Central College. She is also an instructor in the program. She coordinates with healthcare facilities to place her medical assistant students in their internships. She has been a nationally certified medical assistant for more than 15 years and has taught in higher education for more than a decade.
DCTC faculty perspective
Patrice Nadeau, MS, MT (ASCP), DCTC Medical Assistant faculty and former program director, started teaching at the college in 1994; Patrice began serving in her former role in 2001. Margaret Norjean, BSN, RN, Medical Assistant faculty and the college's 2015 Minnesota State Outstanding Educator, started teaching at DCTC in 2002. Both Patrice and Margaret remember Cristen High as an excellent student.
"She was a wonderful student who I am proud to call a graduate of our program," Patrice said. "She was a joy to have in the program because she always came with a positive attitude and worked very hard. She was one of those students who elevated the entire classroom."
Patrice added that she remembers being quite sure Cristen would be an exceptional medical assistant and become a leader in the medical community. "I am not surprised that Cristen is now an instructor and program director!" she said.
More about Cristen…
Originally from Albany, Oregon, Cristen graduated from South Albany High School in 1996. She enlisted in the U.S. Navy while still in high school, serving from 1996–2002, followed by two years of inactive duty. Cristen was stationed in San Diego, California, initially with Helicopter Combat Support Squadron Eight Five (HC-85), the "Golden Gaters," formerly based at Naval Air Station North Island. She then served with the Helicopter Wing Reserve, or HELWINGRES.
She served as an aviation storekeeper and earned her Aviation Warfare designation, the latter requiring knowledge of all naval aircraft. She spent much of her time airborne aboard a Sikorsky Sea King in support of the Navy SEALs. Cristen enjoyed her time in the Navy.
"The Navy framed my professionalism , how I view my job, and how I conduct myself with my employer, supervisor and coworkers," she said. "You get a lot of experience in the military you don't get in civilian life. The Navy also provides many educational opportunities."
Cristen belongs to a blended family with her husband, Greg, who is the service manager at Northern Comfort, Inc., a Mankato business owned and operated by his family. Cristen and Greg have four children, Lexi, 20, an SCC student, Paige, 13, Kaylea, 12, and Justin, 11, and two pets, Roxy, 9, a German shepherd, and Reggie, 7, a cat who thinks he's a dog. In her free time, Cristen enjoys kayaking, camping, boating, and watching her kids play sports and take part in activities. She resides with her family in St. Clair, Minnesota, a town near Mankato with roughly 900 residents.
More about the Medical Assistant program at DCTC…
Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) on recommendation of the Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB), the Medical Assistant program trains students to be professional medical assistants dedicated to patient care management.
Graduates are equipped to assist physicians with examinations and treatments, take medical histories, perform diagnostic tests, expose X-ray films, sterilize instruments and supplies, assist with minor surgery and administer medications. The program goal is to prepare competent entry-level medical assistants in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains.
According to Minnesota State CAREERwise, which provides online tools in the areas of career planning and education, the medical assistant career is currently in very high demand and is seeing very high growth compared to other careers, 25.3 percent, or well above the statewide average.
There will be a need for about 14,079 new Medical Assistants to meet market demand between 2016–2026. This includes the demand due to replacement (workers leaving the occupation or retiring) as well as growth.
Graduates assist primary care physicians and specialists in clinics ranging in size from single-doctor to large, multi-specialty. Opportunities are also present in a variety of other healthcare areas. More than half of all medical assistants work in a doctor's office.
Cristen High • Q & A
What is one thing every medical assistant student should know?
One thing…there are so many. How to competently complete a blood pressure test, communicating elegantly with her or his patient as well as using sanitary and safety precautions.
What is your teaching philosophy?
Embrace new perspectives; be an active learner.
What do you like best about teaching college students?
Each cohort of students has its own personality
Three words that describe you as a medical assistant educator:
INVOLVED. ENGAGED. INNOVATIVE.
What is the most challenging aspect of your job as a program director?
Balancing my program director responsibilities with my instructor responsibilities.
What advice would you give students thinking about making healthcare their career path?
Take advantage of high school science courses as well as concurrent enrollment and PSEO courses that have a science or medical base like Medical Terminology or Anatomy & Physiology, which also give you college credits.
If you have the opportunity for any career exploration, whether at your school or with a school partner, take this opportunity and ask questions. If you are not in school, but working with a WorkForce Center, see if there is a possibility to job shadow and take advantage of any career exploration opportunities.
Why are internships important for medical assistant students?
Internships are extremely important as students are taking the skills they have learned in the classroom out into the clinical setting. Students have the opportunity to simulate those skills within the classroom, but the clinical setting within their internship gives them a full perspective as well as feedback from their preceptor(s).

IRAN - Calls to release Swedish-Iranian scientist Djalali
From Sweden and Germany
Read everything
01 April 2021 :
Calls to release Swedish-Iranian scientist in Iran
A group of higher education stakeholders have urged the Iranian government to release the Swedish-Iranian scientist Ahmadreza Djalali, saying that he has been tortured and left without adequate medical care. "Dr Djalali has been in solitary confinement since the end of November 2020". Djalali is a disaster medicine specialist who holds both Iranian and Swedish citizenship. Iran claims that he passed on classified information to Israel's Mossad intelligence agency to help them assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists. He was sentenced to death in 2017 and put on death row. "The latest report from the UN experts clearly highlights how tragically bad Dr Djalali's situation is" United Nations human rights experts are said to be on high alert and have voiced concerns about the "worsening, life-threatening situation" of Djalali who is thought to be suffering from leukaemia. Amnesty International and Scholars at Risk have also raised concerns that he has been tortured. In a joint open letter, the chair of the board of the Swedish Association of Higher Education Institutions (SUHF), Astrid Söderbergh Widding, and the president of The German Rectors' Conference (HRK), Peter-André Alt, called for Iran's leaders to lift the death penalty and release the scientist. "The latest report from the UN experts clearly highlights how tragically bad Dr Djalali's situation is," said Peter-André Alt. "The independent group of experts has expressed their concern that solitary confinement and the denial of medical help will lead to Dr Djalali's death. "Iran's actions are rightly classified as torture. I am appalled that Iran is showing such utter disregard for human rights and academic freedom and destroying the life of a respected scientist. Iran must release Dr Djalali now and restore his freedom or this will inevitably spell disaster," Alt added. In February 2018 Iran's Supreme Court denied a request to review Djalali's death penalty verdict. According to the stakeholders, for some time now, Dr Djalali has been refused proper medical treatment despite it being strongly suspected that he may have leukaemia. Scholars at Risk has accused the Iranian security forces of torturing the researcher. Amnesty International has also reported attempts to force him to confess. Djalali has been in solitary confinement since the end of November 2020.
Djalali had previously been transferred to another prison in preparation for the purpose of execution of the death penalty. The scientist's health has continued to deteriorate dramatically under the conditions of his solitary confinement. UN experts evaluate solitary confinement as torture.
"It is with utmost consternation that we, the Swedish academic community, have received the latest news from the UN experts on our wrongfully convicted colleague Dr Djalali, and his increasingly alarming situation as he is being held in solitary confinement and deprived of medical care," said Astrid Söderbergh Widding.
"We are shocked by Iran's inhuman treatment of Dr Djalali and the complete lack of respect that is shown in this case both for academic freedom and human dignity. We forcefully demand his immediate release," she added.

It should be just a tide. Is it? Terrestrial plants cannot live in a sea water.
Mangroves do. This is what holds the island in place against erosion.
The World could use an education on Mangroves, a very valuable plant in the Caribbean.
We say in Belize 'Fish Grow on Trees in Belize', because the mangrove has a big role in their life cycle.
Lovely picture, though I somehow find mangrove swamps rather creepy. Do you have those fish there that come out on the mud?
Lots of creepy critters in the mangroves , yes but i'm not sure about the mud fish.
Development/Developers are clearing to many mangroves on the island where i live and the island is being put in jeopardy because of this.
Educational efforts are helping the public understand the value but the development mentality won't heed the warnings of environmental devastation.
I'm optimistic the world will soon change to place new values on the environment and take actions to protect the global environment but worried not in time to save my little island home from being screwed by greedy developers.
hummmm that was a mouth full.
Thankyou Thankyou It was a good morning walk.

Beatrice Miranda
Beatrice Miranda Suggest updates
Born Melbourne, 1884.
Died Buffalo, NY, 1964.
Australian soprano.
Beatrice Miranda had a notable career as a versatile operatic soprano. Both her parents, David Miranda (Spanish) and Annette Hirst (from Yorkshire) were singers. Her elder sister Lalla Miranda (1876-1948) enjoyed a very successful career, particularly on the continent and in the USA (where she sang in Rigoletto with Caruso).
Early Scottish interest arises from the sisters' uncle, Samuel Hirst, an organist and conductor who moved from Huddersfield to Dundee and spent over five decades as an influential figure in the musical life of North-East Scotland.
Beatrice Miranda started, like her sister, as a coloratura soprano, and sang Gilda at Covent Garden in 1909. Her Carl Rosa repertoire initially included Philine and Queen of Night, though she was quickly able to take on Leonora and heavier lyric roles, eventually singing Elsa and Elisabeth. In Bradford on 6 Feb 1922 she sang in the opening performance of BNOC, as Aïda. She also appeared at Covent Garden as Tosca (with Joseph Hislop and Dinh Gilly), and as Sieglinde. Her repertoire eventually included Brünnhilde and Isolde, and she recorded brief extracts from both roles.
She married baritone Hebden Foster, also a leading Carl Rosa artist. From 1924 on, the couple lived in Edinburgh, taught singing, and continued with concert and recital work, rather than opera. They were leading enthusiasts in the encouragement of amateur performing groups in the city. It may have been their influence that brought Joseph Hislop back to Edinburgh for some performances in 1929.
In Opera, January 1970, reviewing a book Singers of Australia, Lord Harewood quotes an anecdote from Joan Cross about Beatrice Miranda. It seems that at very short notice during a Sadler's Wells tour of Scotland in the Second World War (actually 1941), Miranda came out of retirement to save a performance of Butterfly in Edinburgh. Cross, whose indisposition had caused the crisis, was thrilled by the brilliance and power of the soprano's top notes. Miranda was then 57.
Beatrice Miranda died in the USA while on a visit to stay with her daughter.

Q: Lack of convergence in scipy-optimize-minimize minimization Overall, I am trying to "scale" an array such that the integral of the array is 1, i.e. the sum of array elements divided by the number of elements is 1. This scaling, however, must take place by changing the parameter alpha and not by simply multiplying the array by a scaling factor. To do this, I am using scipy-optimize-minimize. The problem is that the code runs, with the output "Optimization terminated successfully", but the current function value displayed is not 0, so clearly the optimization was not actually successful.
This is a screenshot from the paper that defines the equation.
import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import minimize

# just defining some parameters
N = 100
g = np.ones(N)
eta = np.array([i/100 for i in range(N)])
g_at_one = 0.01

def my_minimization_func(alpha):
    g[:] = alpha*(1+(1-g_at_one/alpha)*np.exp((eta[:]-eta[N-1])/2)*(1/np.sqrt(3)*np.sin(np.sqrt(3)/2*(eta[:] - eta[N-1])) - np.cos(np.sqrt(3)/2*(eta[:] - eta[N-1]))))
    to_be_minimized = np.sum(g[:])/N - 1
    return to_be_minimized

result_of_minimization = minimize(my_minimization_func, 0.1, options={'gtol': 1e-8, 'disp': True})
alpha_at_min = result_of_minimization.x
print(alpha_at_min)

A: Well it is unclear to me, why are you using a minimization for such a problem? You can simply normalize the matrix and then compute alpha using the normalized matrix and the old one. For matrix normalization look here.
In your code, your objective function includes a division by zero (1-g_at_one/alpha) so the function is not defined in 0 and that is why I assume scipy is jumping it.
EDIT:
So I simply reformulated your problem and used a constraint, added some prints for better visualizations. I hope this helps:
import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import minimize

# just defining some parameters
N   = 100
g   = np.ones(N)
eta = np.array([i/100 for i in range(N)])
g_at_one = 0.01

def f(alpha):
    g = alpha*(1+(1-g_at_one/alpha)*np.exp((eta[:]-eta[N-1])/2)*(1/np.sqrt(3)*np.sin(np.sqrt(3)/2*(eta[:] - eta[N-1])) - np.cos(np.sqrt(3)/2*(eta[:] - eta[N-1]))))
    to_be_minimized = np.sum(g[:])/N
    print("+ For alpha: %7s => f(alpha): %7s" % ( round(alpha[0],3),
                                                  round(to_be_minimized,3) ))
    return to_be_minimized

cons = {'type': 'ineq', 'fun': lambda alpha:  f(alpha) - 1}
result_of_minimization = minimize(f,
                                  x0 = 0.1,
                                  constraints = cons,
                                  tol = 1e-8,
                                  options = {'disp': True})

alpha_at_min = result_of_minimization.x

# verify
print("\nAlpha at min: ", alpha_at_min[0])
alpha = alpha_at_min
g = alpha*(1+(1-g_at_one/alpha)*np.exp((eta[:]-eta[N-1])/2)*(1/np.sqrt(3)*np.sin(np.sqrt(3)/2*(eta[:] - eta[N-1])) - np.cos(np.sqrt(3)/2*(eta[:] - eta[N-1]))))
print("Verification: ", round(np.sum(g[:])/N - 1) == 0)

Output:

Q: WCF rest WebInvoke get method not working returning 404 error I created a basic WCF REST service with default methods.
It is working when i request for svc file, but it returns 404 error while placing a request with rest parameters.
i.e. it gives response when i call http://localhost/FirstWCFRestApp/RestServiceImpl.svc but returns 404 error when i called http://localhost/FirstWCFRestApp/RestServiceImpl.svc/xml/12.
It is very basic service with only 1 method and confusing me as why its not working.
I have pasted the code below.
Please let me know where it went wrong and why its not working.
Interface`
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;

namespace FirstWCFRestApp
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IRestServiceImpl" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IRestServiceImpl
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method="Get",UriTemplate="/xml/{id}",RequestFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json,
            ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json)]
        string DoWork(string id);

    }
}

Class File`
namespace FirstWCFRestApp
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "RestServiceImpl" in code, svc and config file together.
    // NOTE: In order to launch WCF Test Client for testing this service, please select RestServiceImpl.svc or RestServiceImpl.svc.cs at the Solution Explorer and start debugging.
    public class RestServiceImpl : IRestServiceImpl
    {

        public string DoWork(string id)
        {
            return "You requested Id is "+ id;
        }

    }
}

SVC file
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="FirstWCFRestApp.RestServiceImpl" CodeBehind="RestServiceImpl.svc.cs" %>

Web.Config
<?xml version="1.0"?>

        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>
      </service>
    </services>
  </system.serviceModel>

  <system.webServer>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="true"/>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

A: The address http://localhost/FirstWCFRestApp/RestServiceImpl.svc  is the service metadata address.
The practical service address should base on the UriTemplate property and the Address property of the service address.

UriTemplate="/xml/{id}"

  binding="webHttpBinding"
                    contract="FirstWCFRestApp.IRestServiceImpl" >behaviorConfiguration="FWRBehaviour">

In addition, the Method property of the WebInvoke should be capitalized.
[WebInvoke(Method ="GET",ResponseFormat =WebMessageFormat.Json,UriTemplate ="/xml/{id}")]

In summary, the service address should be,

http://localhost/FirstWCFRestApp/RestServiceImpl.svc/Stud/xml/12

Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.

A: Like Abraham said:
Web Invoke Format:{SVC Path}/{webHttpBinding Endpoint Address}/{WebInvoke UriTemplate}
In your case, it should be:

http://localhost/FirstWCFRestApp/RestServiceImpl.svc/Stud/xml/12

Jets' Zach Wilson Reveals His 'Super Power' in Viral TikTok, And It Seems Like He's Trolling Himself

While showing his talents off the football field, New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson also revealed his "superpower" in an NFL TikTok video. In the clip, Zach Wilson seemingly trolls himself by revealing that his superpower is none of the other decision-making. Some NFL fans did catch on to the remark. "Is no one gonna talk about Zach Wilson saying decision making?" One fan asked. Another fan also asked if anyone missed Wilson's response to the question.

Zach Wilson has noticeably had a rough 2022 NFL season. Last month, he was benched as starting quarterback with the Jets for the Chicago Bears game. Wilson was notably the No. 2 pick of the NFL draft. When asked about being benched as starting quarterback for the game, Wilson told reporters, "It's tough, man, it's never fun. But the first thing that kinda went to my mind was, 'I gotta get to work. I gotta get better.' I'm gonna approach that every single day, just keep working to get better."
However, Zach Wilson admitted he wasn't necessarily surprised about the decision to bench him as starting quarterback. "Because I haven't been doing my job," he revealed. "Of course, I would like to not agree with the decision and everything, but it comes down to I gotta play better."
Zach Wilson to Return to Starting Lineup for the Detroit Lions Game
According to the New York Post, Zach Wilson was announced to return to the starting lineup for the New York Jets after Mike White wasn't clear to play due to potentially causing further damage to his fractured ribs. He sustained the injury during last week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
In the locker room on Friday (December 16th), Zach Wilson revealed that he's very excited to return to the starting lineup. "I'm ready to go," Wilson stated. "I feel like these past three weeks I've just been trying to keep improving and getting better and taking each day with the mentality as if I was playing."
When asked about being benched, Zach Wilson referenced the situation. "Well, I mean the worst has already happened, right, for me personally."
Jets Head Coach, Robert Saleh, then spoke about bringing back Zach Wilson as a starter. Saleh said he believes the other players trust him. "I know as a coaching staff we trust him, and I know the team trusts him. I mean, he's played very good football for us and we did go 5-2 with him at quarterback. We've got all the faith in him, but he's really just got to focus on Sunday and Sunday alone."
Currently, the New York Jets have a record of 7-6. They will be taking on the Detroit Lions on Sunday, which has a record of 6-7.


Partially optimized RFP sequence, based on E1010. Mutation-optimized to have a 12% reduction in the number of possible pyrimidine dimer-forming sites.
To generate this RFP variant with enhanced mutation resistance, we made synonymous codon substitutions to the commonly used E1010 RFP sequence in the registry. These sequence modifications were preformed by a computer algorithm developed by the Vanderbilt 2015 team. The algorithm removed sites that, upon UV irradiation, could possible form pyrimidine dimers, including CT, TT, CC, and TC base pairs. Each pyrimidine dimer sequence hotspot was assigned a weight corresponding to that particular hotspot's mutagenicity. These weights were taken from previously published quantum yields of each photodimer, as determined by HPLC-MS/MS (Douki 2013).
We used alkaline gel electrophoresis following incubation of irradiated DNA with the enzyme T4 PDG to quantify the amount of mutagenic lesions in our DNA sequences. The results shown below demonstrate a notable, but not statistically significant, decrease in the formation of UV-dimers in the K1673010 sequence relative to the original E1010 sequence.
We first check for the successful integration of our synthesized sequence for K1673010 first by restriction digest. A band was produced at 2.8 kb, as expected for the sequence in pSB1C3. We then sequenced the gene from the forward and reverse ends using VF2 and VR primers. This sequencing conclusively determined that our optimized sequence was present and in the correct orientation.
The sequence for K1673010 was designed before our software had its optimal rules for maintaining expression put in place. Consequently, the level of RFP fluorescence at 645 nm was only approximately 20% that of E1010. Later improvements, notably K1673102, was able to increase expression to closer to 80% of E1010 expression.


We have some really sumptuous, luscious and altogether scrumptious Cashel Blue in stock right now. As if this wasn't good enough we are giving you a 30% discount so you can buy an extra big piece! This offer is available in all our shops and online. Ireland's favourite and most famous farmhouse cheese is delicious on crackers or crusty bread, especially with our onion marmalade. Also because it is so creamy and sweet and the tang is not overpowering it is the perfect blue cheese for cooking. Replace any recipe which calls for Gorgonzola (apologies to our Italian friends).
Online we a half wheel for just €12.30.
Cashel Blue is a natural-rind blue cow's milk with a soft, yellow paste and a distinctive blue/green mould. In perfect condition, ie over about 14 weeks the cheese should show little, if any, chalkiness in the paste and should bulge ever so slightly near the rind. In terms of flavour Cashel provides a wonderful contrast between the slowly dissolving, creamy paste and a well rounded blue flavour. Cashel has none of the mouth-stinging harshness of certain blues, relying far more on finesse than sheer raw power.
This classic Irish cheese is great with dessert wines, the Grubbs recommend Vin Santo. For a less upmarket treat, try it with a Braeburn apple. Cashel is also a wonderful cooking cheese.


Northwest Missouri State University named Adam Dorrel, the Bearcat football program's offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, has been named the team's 19th head football coach.
Dorrel, succeeds Scott Bostwick who died June 5 after suffering an apparent heart attack at his home.
Dorrel, a member of the Bearcat coaching staff since 2004, takes over a program that enters its 96th season three wins shy of 500 (497-388-33) and owns a 46-game regular season winning streak against MIAA opponents. The Bearcats have made the NCAA Division II football playoffs 13 of the last 15 seasons.
As offensive coordinator, Dorrel helped lead the Bearcats to an unprecedented five straight NCAA Division II championship appearances and the program's third national title in 2009. In his seven seasons as a full-time coach at Northwest, the Bearcat football squad is 87-14 (.861) with five MIAA championships.


Everyday as I drive to the hospital where Grandpa is getting his chemo treatments for cancer, I pass a sign with the picture of Beethoven and the words "Hit the High Notes!" Everyday it encourages me to look past the exhaustion, look past all the dozens of things I need to do. It assures me that, with a little effort, I can hit that high note.
Let me encourage you today as well. Your loved one might not be fighting cancer, your little ones might not be special needs but you do have battles you fight every day. You have struggles you go through each and every day. It can make you feel totally overwhelmed. When you reach that point – when you think you're ready to quit, take a deep breath- reach down inside yourself – and HIT that HIGH note!

Property of the Week: Alex James' Former Home in Covent Garden
Victoria Purcell on 28th October 2019 Tagged Covent Garden
Where did Alex James get his love of cheese from? Well, his former home in Covent Garden – which is now for sale – was temptingly close to Neal's Yard Dairy…
Perhaps that was what brought on his turophilia, and perhaps the same dairy-based fate could become your destiny, now that his former home on Mercer Street, part of the Seven Dials district, is for sale.
The impressive five-story converted warehouse was home to the Blur bass player for several years in the early 2000s, when the band had huge successes with songs such as Parklife and Girls & Boys.
Since the band's heyday, James has become an award-winning cheesemaker, even holding The Big Feastival on his very own 200 acre Cotswold farm.
The Grade II listed five-storey property oozes character
The second floor dressing room
The top floor master bedroom even has a freestanding roll-top bathtub
The living room with balcony overlooking Ching CourtChing Court
The freehold Grade II listed property includes a huge master bedroom complete with a freestanding bathtub on the top floor, a balcony overlooking Ching Court from the living room, and the warehouse's original full-height glazed loading doors.
There's also a guest bedroom, dressing room and shower room on the second floor, an elegant living room with a balcony overlooking Ching Court on the first floor, and a ground-floor study. The large open-plan kitchen is located on the lower ground floor.
'It's unusual to find an entire freehold house in Covent Garden, especially one with such a rich history as this, a beautiful building, unique and full of character, but with everything you'd expect of a modern London home,' says selling agent Jamie Read, Director at Tavistock Bow.
'The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the action, but discreet and quiet. It really is a complete one off.'
The property, on Mercer Street in Seven Dials, is a Grade II listed converted warehouse
Originally a warehouse, the property was remodelled by acclaimed architect Sir Terry Farrell between 1983 and 1985 as part of the regeneration of Comyn Ching Triangle.
It was later awarded a Grade II listing because of its architectural merit and degree of survival, retaining Farrell's restored facades, their detail, fixtures and fittings. Farrell's other notable projects include Camden Lock and the MI6 Headquarters at Vauxhall.
Mercer Street, Covent Garden WC2 is on sale for an asking price of £3.5m (and is also available to let for £1,650 per calendar week) from Tavistock Bow, Covent Garden. Call 020 7477 2177 or see tavistockbow.com

What's the first image that comes to mind when you think of protein powder? Probably an incredibly muscular guy making a post-workout shake, right? Well it's time we rehab the stigma surrounding protein powder and the image that it represents.
It has been found that women may actually benefit more from protein powder than men do, men who are involved in a general fitness program typically have enough protein in their diet, whereas many women fall short. Protein powder can help fill in the gaps, providing extra sustenance when you need it the most, perhaps on your daily commute or school pick up.
With an abundance of research suggesting the importance of adequate protein intake, especially in women, for overall health, well-being and your physique, weight loss and maintenance, we're here to show you why protein is one of the best and most important options as an addition to your daily routine.
In addition to being affordable and delicious, protein can offer a number of benefits to active women that other protein sources can't, helping you promote a balanced and nutritious lifestyle.
Studies have shown other great benefits of protein besides those related to muscle building and fat loss. We've highlighted five reasons why protein powder should be your go to source of protein.
There are many types of protein powder on the market, but the most useful for both fat loss and muscle building programs is without doubt Whey protein.
Whey protein is a fast digesting, fast absorbing protein. Why is this important? Studies show that its fast absorption rates help stimulate muscle growth better than other slower absorbing proteins. By getting these vital nutrients to your muscles faster, you'll be able to build lean muscle faster while increasing your metabolism. in other words, you'll see results faster.
Not only that, studies also show that consuming protein and carbohydrates before a workout has a greater influence on muscle growth than if you were to simply eat them post-workout. For this reason, we recommend drinking a protein shake and eating a small amount of carbohydrates 30-45 minutes before your workouts.
Remember building lean muscle won't make you bulky. Simply building a few extra kilos of lean muscle from resistance training will increase your metabolism naturally and give you that "toned" look. This is a much more effective way to build a lean body than hours of cardio each week.
While Whey is the fastest digesting of the various types of protein powders, protein by nature is slow digesting and keeps you feeling fuller for longer periods of time than carbs or fat. This means a high-protein, low-calorie whey protein shake can increase satiety and reduce cravings.
One of the sneakiest ways extra calories get into your diet is through mindless snacking in the late morning and afternoon. So next time you have a workday craving for sweets, consider grabbing a low-calorie whey protein shake such as Aussie Bodies Lo Carb Shake, Bodytrim Ultra Low Carb Shake, Physique Body tone or a Amazonia Raw protein powder and know that you're doing your body a healthy, delicious favor!
increase the Serotonin (the happy hormone) levels in your body.
Whey protein is naturally high in Tryptophan, making it an excellent choice that can potentially help you boost your mood and increase daily productivity.
In addition to strengthening your muscles, whey protein can also strengthen your immune system. Having a strengthened immune system is essential for helping fight of colds and flus, illness, and a multitude of other threats to your body. Studies show that whey can help boost levels of immune-related proteins and provide anti-inflammatory support.
Looking for a double dose of immune system boosting exercise? Try working out outdoors and consuming an all-natural whey protein shake afterwards.
Research suggests exercising outdoors can decrease stress hormones, pulse rate and blood pressure!
In addition to the fact that whey helps build more lean muscle which boosts your resting metabolic rate on its own, studies also show that Whey is superior to both Casein and Soy when it comes to increasing your body's metabolism.
One of the main beneficial qualities of whey protein is that it is rapidly digested and easily absorbed by the body. This is especially true of whey protein isolate— a further refined version of whey protein that removes additional fats, carbohydrates, and lactose.
And since whey protein isolate is so purified, many lactose-intolerant individuals can tolerate whey protein isolate— making it an excellent choice for those who are lactose sensitive but still want to get the unique benefits of whey.
Why wait, choose the right Whey protein for you!
