17th March 2016: Decisions, Decisions: Robert Harvey BA (Hons) ARPS EFIAP on "Landscapes For All Seasons".
Robert Harvey BA (Hons) ARPS EFIAP treated us to Landscapes for all Seasons on the Feast of St Patrick. Starting with a straw poll as to which was the clubs favourite season for landscapes, apparently it is always Autumn, Robert took us through a wide variety of seasonal landscapes, features and how he captured them in a richly illustrated, wide ranging evening.
Although the camera basics are fairly well established, let's call this the science, for taking landscapes, as ever the art has more to it than just pointing and shooting (for which f11 and focus two steps – 5 feet – in front of your 18-50mm kit lens set at 18mm. Gets everything in focus from 2'6″ (0.75m) up to infinity; works from 6 feet (well 5′ 9″) with a 24mm lens on a full frame. See the 30 July 15 blog post for an explanation of hyperfocal distance) of knowing your subject, knowing the conventions, knowing the sort of things that only practice really ever teaches. The art of knowing lies in critical observation and informed practice, often known as reflective practice, and Robert has 25 years photographic experience as well as a background as a natural scientist to draw on.
That doesn't mean the rest of us should pack up and go home, but it does contain a general principle we can all adhere to. When we take the camera out we do so with a purpose. That isn't to say we should squeeze all the fun out of it, that we can only take the camera out of the bag to conduct our photography with serious academic intent. We need to recognise that any photograph is the sum of the decisions the photographer has made about his/her relative position to a subject in a given environment. More of this in a minute.
Landscape photographs do have their own conventions and competitions have their own conventions and rules. Certainly the do no harm principle we talked about in the last post on natural photography, is an ethical place to start. Though as with nature photographs this idea can be both selectively and subjectively applied. But it does go deeper than that to the core idea of what a photograph actually is for, what it represents. We've touched on this recently with David Jones' evening and the notions of authenticity. It is a question of what we are claiming to represent. If it is within a genre where the integrity of the image as a documentary record is sacrosanct, say photojournalism, then it is pretty straight forward. If it is more representative then it matters less. If it's Snapchat then an altogether different, informal set of rules apply.
That may be the underlying code that dictates the what, the why, the where, the then of what gets captured but the how is, as we have touched on above, a process guided by the decisions we make. So, we've set the camera to manual or aperture priority and we have raised to the camera to the eye because something has captured our attention. Broad vista? Enter the rule of thirds. Most cameras, including compacts, have an optional thirds grid you can put on live view or through the (E)VF. Even if yours hasn't it's not too difficult to imagine one over the scene. The trick is then to align a feature on one of the lines, or at the junctions of the lines. If it's patterns that have caught your eye then it will be a question of cropping in as tight as you can so the detail is very clear and a lot of the context available in a wider view will not be available.
You can still use the rule of thirds in a detail crop, indeed it can be very advantageous to the overall effect as there is less relative information to go by (not a bad thing). In the broader landscape you are looking to put the sky one third or two thirds of the way down in the picture. In the detail shot it will be the main feature (focus point). In both cases you really need to make the point of focus obvious using natural or man-made features, lead lines and so on. The broad tendency is for detail shots to be more abstract, the key to both is to be as close to the subject, as cropped in, as is possible and necessary to give the image punch. If you can't frame it change position, shapes and features make the photograph, there absence just makes for an empty space that just happens to have something in it.
In essence that is it, seems simple, doesn't it? Well it is and it isn't. It is because that is what you do with the Bakelite lump you attach the expensive glass to. Three useful things to add: learn to use the histogram if your camera has one (or use your eyes, they tell you the same thing but the histogram measures the fall of light on the sensor and makes it obvious about spikes on the extreme left -shadows- and right – highlights); Expose for the sky/highlights (details in shadow are easier to recover in post production than highlights); Shoot in RAW (linked to the previous point). That doesn't mean that JPEG is evil or wrong but where there is a high dynamic range in your image RAW will leave you with more information to manipulate. JPEG makes certain decisions about what data is used as a baseline and preserves/eliminates it on that basis. What is left is less data to manipulate.
It isn't quite so simple because you cannot compensate for a lack of knowledge about where to be and when on a consistent basis just with luck. Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Photography. Club members Kev Speirs and Rich Price gave us a good grounding in this a couple of years back based on their 2013 trip to Iceland – which is where they are as I write this having returned to further their experience, Iceland, that is, not 2013, no not the frozen food chain either). The performance booster we are looking for is a planned serendipity. We've been here before so I shan't dwell. Robert is an environmental scientist as well as a photographer and photography for him is more than a hobby, it is a business in more than one sense.
So, our thanks to Robert Harvey for a an interesting and well rounded evening.
Judging ROC Round 3.
4th December 2014. On Monochrome.
Last meeting Mark Stone , in a well attended meeting, took us through some editing options he uses on Light Room and Photoshop. Mark is a big fan of black and white, not to the exclusion of colour, but he has a strong affinity to the ascetic and opportunities that black and white presents, so it is this that we will investigate a little further this week.
Black and white photography happened first of course. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's heliograph taken at his estate in 1826-27 gives a barely legible but still discernable image of a stand of trees, fixed in bitumen (Daguerre used copper plate, Fox-Talbot was the first to fix an image on paper), but since the invention of colour – which had a long gestation period – it has gradually receded to niche and specialist markets. To its fans and I am certainly one, it is too often overlooked (guilty), or most people who occasionally venture that way look upon as a fix for images that didn't work but still have something but you are not sure what ("Taking the fifth" on that one, well shoot in colour and edit to black and white is my excuse). Incidentally that is a two way street. There is no doubt that there is a skill to looking at an image as a black and white one from the off.
Some people might think that there is a certain nostalgia attached to monochrome that is a bit off-putting and reeks of chemicals and cardigans and people (men mainly) sucking on their dentures and complaining that things aren't like they used to be. Certainly they are not. It's called progress. The darkroom and its arcane ways have fallen from popular use. Photography as a whole, with the digital revolution, has become far more democratic and personally I think that a good thing. This, however, is the science and we are talking here about the art. If, on the other hand, you have used a dark room over some time, then there is a pretty good chance that you keep a warm place in your heart for those processes, for the choices of paper and the effects they have on the final image (for the uninitiated it evolves mainly, but not entirely, around the question of how black is black) for the magic of the image appearing on the paper. Black and white was far cheaper and a lot less complex than colour. Not many people go back though, at least not exclusively. Digital can be just as good.
As I said, this about the art (you'll remember that argument from last week), the perceptions, that the image creates in the viewer. In black and white contrast is king, but across a spectrum shaded in grey. Subtlety is the greater part of it. That is not to say that extremes don't have a part to play, it is part of the process of selection that forms the backbone of the monochrome discipline – and yes that is something which can be about post production, but as with everything else, it can't all be about post production; the initial pre-shutter decisions are still hugely important. Black and white is about texture, forms and contrast above all. When these are the most important things in an image then black and white is the medium of choice, but it remains a subjective choice. Primarily these elements become important because when you remove colour from a photograph these elements are what lead the eye.
Texture, the consistency of a surface in a photograph defined by its irregularities, provides us with basic information that we can use to comprehend what that object is or made of. It can be more important than what that actual object is especially in abstract. Form, the three dimensional representation of an object (shape is 2D), especially in the absence of colour, is probably the biggest clue we get to what we are looking at and contrast, of course, is important in all forms of photography. Black and white concentrates the eye on the intensity and differential qualities in light to a higher degree than in colour (colour, of course being the most striking and the most absent of the elements of design in monochrome).
So it helps to concentrate on lines, shadows and shapes, not ignore the basic rules of composition (master them before you break them), plan ahead and practice, practice practice! There are advantages to shooting in colour (you can always revert to it) and there are advantages in using a RAW format – as per the above plus there is more scope for capturing tones across a range of light and dark in the same frame. There is no particular reason why you shouldn't use JPEG should you so wish, but, as always, you have lesser latitude to edit with. It also helps to know the effects of colour filters on the image, which can easily be applied post production, or by simply fixing one to the front of your lens.
We have another round of the ROC in the new year, so why not use that as a chance to get some feedback on your black and white photography? Better yet, black and white is December's Flickr competition topic.
CONGRATULATIONS to our esteemed chair on his MBE collected Thursday last awarded for his work with youth via the Air Training Corps. Well done and well earned Maurice.
Time is running out but there are still places on the WOODLAND shoot. See Myk.
December 11th – The second round of this year's Reflex Open Competition (ROC) will be judged tonight.
December 18th – Christmas social evening. To quote Mark S (again):
" Thursday 18th December is our Christmas Social. We're planning on doing an American Supper style evening which means we'd like you to bring some food & drink. So that you don't all bring in a pack of Scotch Eggs we've created a list that will be on the sign in desk each week up until the 18th. If you'd like to take a look at what is on the list just peek at the PDF attached to this post.
8TH January 2015"What Christmas Means to me" & Mounting Prints
See everyone's images from our Christmas Challenge of "What Christmas Means to me" followed by a demonstration on how to mount your photographs.
I bet your wondering what this "What Christmas means to me" thing is as you've possibly never even heard it mentioned at the club before. Well now I've had it explained to me with a handy infographic I can explain it all to you. Well actually no I'm not instead you can follow this link and read all about it as that's exactly the same way I found out what it was!

Reflex Camera Club Exhibition at Southmead Hospital
No the title isn't about Myk. It's the title of our brand new exhibition at Southmead Hospital, Bristol.
On Wednesday myself and Myk drove out to Southmead to deliver the clubs framed prints. We were told to head to the delivery bay which nearly resulted in us paying an impromptu visit to the Maternity Unit but just in time we realised that Delivery Suite means a totally different thing at a Hospital! However we did manage to find the right spot and amazingly even managed to get a parking space right outside. If you've been to Southmead Hospital recently you'll know exactly how difficult that is as their new car park isn't open yet.
Up they go
Once we had the images inside we unwrapped them and the team from the Hospital laid them out and hung them up on the wall. Below you can see some images we took of them being hung and the finished look. The new location is in the main atrium and is very prominent. Anyone walking through that part of the Hospital has to go right past them. So they should be looked at by Hundreds if not Thousands of people each week.
If you want to go take a look then just head on over and walk in. Richard Price's Poppy Image was chosen to star on the leaflets they are printing to advertise the Exhibition and its going to run until sometime in January (we haven't been given an exact end date yet).
So head on over and take a look at our members wonderful images!
It ain't half hot, Mum….
Greetings. Overseas branch here, with a short(for me) post on the joys of photography in an ultra-conservative society. I brought the camera with me to Saudi Arabia, but knowing that the opportunities are going to be Spartan to use it. I will have some photography, mainly videography, at work to do and we are going to buy a camera and tripod for that. You do not see these things on open display and I mainly carry a compact on my belt, rather than the body and lenses though a couple of days ago I took it to take some departmental photographs. Not very exciting ones, but hey take what opportunities you can.
The list of things off the menu is long. There are obvious ones like Police and Security buildings, (which doesn't help as myapartment overlooks the Jeddah Police depot which is huge and takes up most of the foreground from the 9th floor window) not so obvious ones such as pretty much all street photography, especially if that includes members of the above. Property in general appears a bit of a grey area, but people without their consent, doubly so for women and children, is generally considered a rights violation. There are hints of new laws to curb the growing use of mobile phones being used to film things on the street because they find their way on to social media and not in a good way. Camera phones were temporarily banned in 2004 because of the fear that men would take pictures of women and post them to the internet. Surely not?
Aside from the police there are the members of the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice who are street level arbiters of public behaviour and its compliance to the interpretation of Islam whose powers extend to shops, restaurants and hotels and even private homes in certain cases. They could formerly seize and search a camera for unIslamic images, and as the presumption in the law appears to be in their favour, they probably still could. I for one don't want to put it to the test. They are not noted for their sense of humour. Jeddah, where I am based is relatively liberal but all of the above apply all of the time. Makkah, where I work (and that bingo joke you thought so original really isn't, hence the change in spelling, which isn't mine), actually outside the city as non-Muslims are not allowed in it (hence we have to take the bypass in the morning to get to work, though local traffic is reported to be very dense and it is probably just as quick) is more conservative. Ryadh, the capital, is reported very conservative. Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is very tolerant ( I was there a couple of weekends ago), even though the local laws and traditions are similar.
But things are not nearly so simple. You will always get a passing streetlawyer shout "No photo", but, generally, as long as the above are considered, hereabouts you are generally OK. This is relative. Last night I was the subject of debate surrounding my shorts and entry to a shopping mall. Normally not a problem as long as the knees (considered locally as part of the genitalia) are covered, which mine were. Yes gentlemen it does mean you can now legitimately boast, which is what you were thinking. I must have been in half a dozen shopping malls for various reasons as well as the local souks (markets) and never once previously been challenged. I only had the compact on my belt at the time which went unnoticed and I wouldn't be using it on private property open to families for the reasons outlined above. The way to deal with this is to be patient, engaging, compliant, smile and play on being a foreigner. As one local said to me, you get more leeway (locally) for being a foreigner. A local brandishing a camera would be in serious trouble, but that might be as much a function of who take photos of whom as of any long standard of polite behaviour. We are approaching Hadj, where 2 to 3 million Muslims will enter the country, mainly through Jeddah airport to fulfil their religious duty to undertake the pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in a lifetime. This necessitates the mobilisation of, according to the Arab News newspaper, the deployment of 117,000 troops. You will understand from the news why this year the general security situation is heightened and there is to be zero tolerance of dissent. Then there is always zero tolerance of dissent here. Insisting on rights that don't exist is only going to be futile and exacerbating - it is not going to end happily.
That said there are possible trips to Ta'if (pronounce Tayfff) and possibly (and I very much hope so) Mada'in Saleh a.k.a. The Saudi Petra being talked about, but in the ways of these things it's all just talk at the moment (just need to give it all a little impetus).
The important thing to remember when you go anywhere abroad is that which is permissible at home - and often under challenge even there- is no guide. Forewarned is forearmed and clues to what is and what isn't "The done thing" can be picked up from looking at what travellers put up on sites like 500px and Flickr, more informatively what local people post. Do your homework, and be discrete. It is you who has to make the adjustment.
Stay happy and hope to see you all soon in the new premises.

We are coming to the end of another amazing year in the life of Reflex Camera club. Sadly we have lost a few members but have gladly welcomed many more. I would ask you all to look back on this season and ask 2 questions
- What have I got out of the club ?
- What have I put into the club ?
Membership is about 'BEING A PART OF "and I would like all members to ensure they are a part of the club next season.
How can you do this ????
ATTENDANCE – every £1.00 helps – PARTICIPATION – in events and competitions – SHARING – your skills and expertise
The more we all put into the club – the more we can all get out of it .
See you all in our New Venue for another fantastic season.

When the School Moves we will to!
Below is a letter from Maurice explaining to you what will be happening to us when the school moves to its new building.
Dear Member,
To keep you in the picture (pun not intended).
Last week I had a meeting at St Anne's school to discuss how our future Reflex meetings will continue after the school moves. As a committee we would have preferred to stay at the same school when the infants take it over. Having discussed this at length with the school it will not be possible to stay at the old school, this is because the car park that we use now is going to be redeveloped into a soft play area. This means that we will not be able to drive over it, and there is also a possibility of oil drips.
The existing school want us to move with them, they have no problem with us, and compliment us on our tidiness and the way that we exit the building. I have seen the plans of the new school, the facilities are superb. Although we may not use it, there is a projector with surround sound in the main hall. There would be a choice of two halls, a kitchen, obviously toilets, but also a storage facility (so Roy & Alex won't need to climb anymore).
Hire rates would remain the same because we are existing tenants. The school is due to become an Academy at the end of the year, this will require a meeting with the governing body in order to renegotiate.
The only issue as we already know is the parking. There will be between 22 to 26 parking places, a few more if we double up. The overflow would be on the road, or I will go to the building to the left of the school to ask if we can use their parking places out of hours.
There is an open day coming up in July, and I will be notified of the date. I will inform the Committee when this is due to in order to attend.
I hope this gives you some information regarding the move, and I will give you more when the committee have met after seeing the new school.
Best Wishes
Chairman, Reflex Camera Club
So there you have it. We will be moving once again although this time to a brand new building with excellent facilities and as soon as we know the date of the move or get any more information we will let you know.
The new school is located on Wick Road where the old Community Centre used to be. Here's a Google Map with the new location marked.

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on
monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for
private individuals. This
is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.

Contributing to the Community
The Players members help to spearhead plans for the Woodland Auditorium. Additionally, The Players contributed over $12,500 to the Village Community Foundation's Auditorium Fund. Additionally, the organization paid three-fourths of the cost for a scissors lift needed to help set scenery and lighting. Their donations did not end there. After the building was completed, the Players furnished the dressing rooms with cabinets, mirrors and lighting. "Teahouse of the August Moon" was the first production the Players performed on the new stage 1991.
The Players continued to donate to the Woodlands from proceeds acquired during 80 plus more performances. Donations included audio enhancers, body microphones, lighting instruments, music stands and a refrigerator (actors and backstage productions crews get hungry too!) In 1999 the Players purchased an $11,000 computerized audio-visual lighting system for the Woodlands Auditorium.
The Players have contributed over $120,000 to help to make the Woodlands one of the best equipped theaters in the state, and the Coronado Center a more viable and useable venue for many events.
Thank YOU for YOUR support!
Our donations to both the Coronado Center and the Woodlands would not have happened without the support and loyalty of everyone that fills the seats at each of its performances. Because of YOU we have much to be proud of, and because of YOU we celebrated our 40th Anniversary in June 2018!
The Players extend a most heartfelt and sincere THANK YOU to all our past members who set high standards for us to follow today and to our current members who give their time, talent and creative energy for the love of the Theater. Above all, we extend our gratitude and biggest THANK YOU to our community for allowing us the opportunity to entertain you these past 40 years and all the years to come.
In 2019, we are excited to extend our affordable, quality theatre to Hot Springs. We have a total of 22 performances planned in various locations including Hot Springs Village's Coronado Center and Woodlands, and, Hot Springs' Bathhouse Dinner Theatre and Central Theatre.
Come PLAY with Us!
Live Theatre in Hot Springs Village at an Affordable Price.
About The Players
The Players is a non-profit organization, 501-C3, and all donations are tax deductible. We are proud to have presented 141 productions to the residents of Hot Springs Village and the outlying communities since 1978.
Our History
In June 1978, the Players was officially launched when 16 enthusiastic Villagers got together and decided to form a community theater. Their dream and their goal were to bring live stage productions to the area while providing a creative and theatre experience for its members. Starting out with minimal resources and no stage or equipment, they pulled together, remained undaunted and gave The Village its first three-act variety show. The performance was "An Evening with Ethel and Albert" and it was presented to a sell-out audience for an admission price of $1, including popcorn! In their kick-off year a Reader's Theatre performance of "The Ugly Duckling" was also performed. The Village Players were on their way!
The following year two one-act plays were performed with great success and applause. The time had come to begin expanding the vision with a full-fledged production that would need a stage. The Coronado Center was the place. The performance would be "Affairs of State" and Fred Mills would be the designer who supervised the construction project. Alongside him were the Players who devoted time, energy and lots of free sweat equity to masterfully hang theater curtains, build a stage, install lights and a sound system that ensured all that was needed for the show.
By 1986, the Players had contributed more than $12,300 to the Coronado Center in equipment and thousands more in work hours. The beautiful fireplace mantel in the Coronado Center lobby came from one of the earlier sets.
Attendance numbers continued to grow as word spread about the quality of productions being performed. Membership in the Players was also growing. The goal to bring a theater group willing to step into the spotlight was no longer an aspiration... it was an accomplishment.

Did you know that there are people just like you who decided to leave the doldrums of their daily job for a life selling online?
When Kirstie (my wife) and I were still in college, I was taking 15 credit hours, working 40-50 hours a week, and then Kirstie got pregnant. Followed by extreme morning sickness. I needed to come up with a solution – and quickly – that would allow me to stay home and take care of her. Enter: selling on eBay.
While it wasn't quick, I started selling off things around our house that we no longer needed (and some we did need…times were hard…). Within two years we had grown our little sideshow into a $100k a year business that gave me the flexibility to stay home for Kirstie's next pregnancy!
As much as it hurts my manhood to admit it, if I could attribute my success to something, it would be women's clothing. For the first two years of selling online, women's clothing made up more than 50% of our sales. It is as plentiful as it is profitable in almost every part of the country (and the world for that matter), so if you are interested in selling clothing on eBay, the women's clothing section is one of the best places to start. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most intimidating sections of any thrift store. Rack upon rack of clothing from more brands than you can possibly imagine. Even after selling online (mainly eBay) for several years, we have barely heard of half the brands we come across. Since it's not effective to look up every single thing you find, we took the time to put together a list of women's clothing BOLOs!
If you can recognize all the brands on this list, you will very rarely go home empty-handed from any thrifting expedition. So if you're serious about selling used clothing online, check out our favorite top-selling brands!
You won't find anything like Louis Vuitton or Gucci on this list. We have done our best to talk about brands you're likely to find, not just the most expensive brands available. Because of that, some brands may not be exciting or flashy. While high dollar sales are fun, these "bread and butter" brands make up 80% of the orders we send out every day. Even after all these years on eBay, we are learning new brands on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis. With that in mind, I firmly believe that this list will benefit even long-time sellers. However, if you are just starting out, knowing these 60 brands will put you MONTHS ahead of the competition! While everyone else is struggling to figure out how to find brands that will sell in the over-saturated clothing market, you will be focused on how to deal with the influx of inventory and orders!
Before we get to the brands: 5 things that make clothing valuable. If an item has 3 of the 5, it's a winner. You can never know all the brands. Teach a man to fish – but if you only know how to use fish with worms, you'll be limited. So let's teach you how to choose bait!
I spent almost an hour sitting at my desk trying to come up with a super cool acronym that would contain these 5 selling points. I came up dry. So I asked Kirstie…and she came up dry too. The best we could come up with was BMMPS. Just say it like "Bumps." Does your clothing have bumps?!
The selling price for any clothing on eBay (or any other item for that matter) is made up of a combination of these 5 items. Each one of them plays a valuable role in deciding what you should source, how much you should pay, and how much you can profit!
The brand is always the first thing people look for when deciding what to sell, and for good reason. The resale value of an item is often (but not always) linked to how much the item cost when new. When we are going through clothing racks, we typically are looking for brands only. We look up items that seem unusual or especially nice, but no one can argue – the more brands you know as a reseller, the more money you can make. You simply don't have time to look everything up, so get to know a bunch of brands and you'll have the edge on the competition who is digging through the rack next to you.
For example, Kirstie and I were recently at a thrift store and our competition showed up in a big way. There is a guy who must consider himself the Lord of the Store because he shows up at opening and usually stays until close. This particular day he must have taken his vitamins because when a new rack of clothing or items came out, he was literally jogging after it to get there first. When a rack of men's clothing came out, he ran over before I could get to it and went through the rack as fast as he could, pulling out a button-down (The Territory Ahead from the look of it) and hurrying away. I've been reselling long enough to know that very few people are actually good at what they are doing, so I went through the rack anyway. The first item on the rack was a 100% cashmere blazer from Brioni which retails for just over $7,000. A bit further along I pulled out an Arc'Teryx t-shirt and an Abercrombie & Fitch Muscle fit shirt. While the guy was definitely putting in the work, he hadn't put in the work to learn anything beforehand and was coming up empty time and time again. Know your brands!
There are times when we will look up an item based only on the material, or even buy an item with no brand just because we know someone will purchase it based on material alone. Typically, these is because the material in and of itself is very expensive to make/purchase. Be sure to look up any brand or items when you see the following on the materials tag:
- Cashmere
- Angora
- Merino Wool
- GoreTex
- Goose Down
Two years ago I found an incredibly rare skirt while sourcing at Ross. It was a limited edition wool and leather tennis skirt from a very limited collaboration that Nike did with Sacai. The skirt retailed for $500 and I picked it up for a steal, paying only $40. I priced it at $300 and let it sit, and sit, and sit. I got no interest. So I took some new pictures and fixed the titles. Still nothing. After a solid year of dropping the price, the skirt finally sold, for $29.99 plus shipping. I didn't even manage to make my original money back, let alone the time spent sourcing, photographing, and shipping the stupid thing. Had I done some more research, I would have realized something: no matter how much the MSRP is on something, the value of a used item is decided 100% by the market. When you become more familiar with market trends, you will recognize that some brands hold their value extremely well (Patagonia, Redwing, Mammut, Harley, etc.) while other with high retail values are worth almost nothing on the used market. The lesson here is not to be scared of investing time and money, but to be methodical and careful in researching the items that you buy (not just pulling the trigger on a whim like I did).
Many people who are new to reselling make the mistake of thinking that they are simply looking for the most expensive brands they can find. Unfortunately, most of the really expensive brands are known to thrift stores these days and such items are typically quite expensive. People who are looking only for expensive brands end up doing things like pulling off tags, switching prices, etc. (bad juju…don't do that…). If you want to be successful on eBay, understand this basic principle: your goal is not to find expensive items, your goal is to find underpriced items. You may have to pass on the Eileen Fisher Cardigan that retails for $200 but was recognized by the thrift store and priced at $29.99. The boring Levi's however, that are priced at $2.99, might be a better purchase. Not that it's a better item, the pricing just leaves more room for profit.
If you sell on a fashion-centric platform such as Poshmark, style may be one of your biggest deciding factors. I know many Poshmark sellers whose only criterion for buying an item is, "Would I wear it?" Unfortunately, my cuteness meter is unreliable. I'm sure my meter is just out of whack because I spend so much time around my insanely cute wife and daughters, but I never source based on style alone. The time when style comes into play on eBay is when it is coupled with another of the BMMPS criteria. For example, when sourcing today, I found a St. John Blazer for $19.99. It was a vintage piece that was poop brown, oversized, and (in my opinion and the opinion of every sensible person in the world) absolutely hideous. Despite that fact that the brand was good, it was not a current or desirable enough style to make me part with my cash. No matter how well-priced something is or how amazing the brand can be, there is not actually a market for everything. If something is so out of style that no one wants it, don't try and convince yourself otherwise. Put it back on the rack and move on! Violating any of the principles in BMMPS leads to lost profits. At best, you will be working inefficiently and leaving money on the table. At worst, your eBay store will slowly shrivel and die. Let's look at some of the most common mistakes made by beginner sellers and how they violate "The BMMPS."
When I first started reselling, I bought a lot of crap. Things that make me wish I could reach back in time and slap myself for buying. The main problem is, I knew that they were crap while I was buying them! Whenever I would find a very high-end brand or something that was particularly hard to find, I would buy it. The style didn't matter, the condition didn't matter, price didn't matter. In this way, I bought a lot of overpriced inventory that never sold. I was lucky to get my money back for most of it. Now, I have the self-control to put things back if I know that it isn't a good flip. You don't have to prove to anyone that you found a cool brand, leave it for someone else and move on. You don't always have to find something.
The same inability to say "no" results in other problems for people who violate the BMMPS criteria. One of the most common ones I see and hear about is the inability to say "no" to cheap things. New sellers find it a right of passage to build up a massive "death-pile" of unlisted inventory. If you're not going to list it, it's a bad buy – no matter how cheap it is.
I don't think I've ever made it through a rack of clothing without looking up 3-4 brands. Resellers who become complacent and think they know enough brands, quickly get passed by new sellers who are hungry and always learning new things. When I go to the Goodwill Outlet near me, I see the same group of 3 old couples who are digging through the same brands every single day and usually come up empty. If you see something nice, look it up! If you see something you don't know, look it up! It might be worth nothing (it usually is) but it's asinine to assume that just because you haven't heard of it, it's not worth anything.
It may be exciting to see pictures of people sending out dozens of packages in a day (heck, we've Instagrammed several of ours), but remember: your goal is not a number of sales, but profit (at least I'm hoping it is…). Every time you buy something you shouldn't, you are cutting into your profits. Not only do you lose money, but you always lose the time you spend listing the item. Consider the Opportunity Cost of every item you buy. If you decide to buy a bunch of mediocre things, you are losing the opportunity to spend that time and money sourcing something better. In our eBay store, we make 80% of our profits from only 20% of our sales. This is know as the 80/20 Principle (we wrote a blog post on it here) and it applies to almost everything in life. Now imagine, if you could stop buying the bottom 80% of crap, you could work 1/4 as much while only losing 20% of your sales! So learn from my mistakes, after you've gone through your cart, go through it again and put back everything you know in your gut isn't worth it. Your goal is to find the diamonds, not shovel as much coal as possible!
Now that we have a pretty good handle on what we are and aren't looking for, let's get into the actual meat of things (or tofu, if you roll that way). Being able to recognize brands is incredibly important for any seller. Since knowing more brands translates into having more sales and more profits, let's get going on building your business! The following brands aren't in any particular order, but I can guarantee if you familiarize yourself with all of them, you will be lapping other sellers in no time.
What to Look For: The best Eileen Fisher pieces are those most current in style. Keep your eyes open for blazers, sweaters, and the rare dress. The most common items you'll find are probably pants and blouses. Because thrift stores typically recognize Eileen Fisher items and price them high, we leave behind basic items like pants unless they are current in style.
The Current Market Outlook: Eileen Fisher is a very popular brand currently and we routinely source new with tags items at Nordstrom rack. Because it is popular and expensive, the market for gently used pieces is huge! Saturation has caused the market to drop off a little bit, but we still pick up any pieces we can, even basic ones if the price is right.
What to Look For: Look for lumpy linen-y looking dresses and pants in dull, earthy tones. We typically happen upon FLAX items while looking for linen dresses and shorts for the cruise season. Because their clothing is made of linen (which comes from Flax, shocking I know), you typically won't find any flamboyant colors. While there are some vintage tie-dye pieces, current trends dictate that their recent pieces are subdued whites, grays, browns, etc. Their linen overalls are, without a doubt, their most popular items (some people list them as rompers but let's be real, they're overalls), and can sell for over $200 in used condition. Otherwise, style doesn't seem to matter much and if the item is large but damaged, people may still buy it just for the fabric.
The FLAX tag may alternatively read FLAX DESIGNS and vintage pieces often say: FLAX by Jeanne Engelhart (she was their lead designer in yesteryear. Now she has changed her name to Jeanne Angelheart and specializes in crazy).
The Current Market Outlook: Flax is an unusual enough brand that we have had no problems moving it in the current market. We only find a piece or two a week, so the market is unlikely to get saturated anytime soon.
What to Look For: In 2001, Free People went through a radical redesign in an attempt to get rid of it's "Junior" stereotype. Now, they describe their perfect customer as "a 26-year-old girl, smart, creative, confident and comfortable in all aspects of her being, free and adventurous, sweet to tough to tomboy to romantic." With that in mind, look for bright florals, sheer fabrics, and crazy boho designs. Beaded designs are some of the more valuable that can be had, while basic shirts typically won't even bring in $10. When you see the characteristic little metal brand tag, be sure to check twice since there are many knock-offs now using the same method. Also, be on the lookout for sub-brands of Free People such as We The Free.
The Current Market Outlook: Free people has been one of the brands that was hit the hardest by the massive influx of resellers. While complex and unusual items still do well, most thrift stores know the brand and basic tops can cost $10 or more, totally ruining the chance you have for any profit.
What to Look For: If Dale of Norway makes anything but cardigans and sweaters, we've never found it. Look for wool knit Christmas-y type patterns. The brighter the colors the more they sweater is typically worth. Women's sweaters are much more common, which means they're worth much less. We find a couple women's sweaters a month, but have only found a handful of men's sweaters in years of thrifting. The men's sweaters sold almost instantly for over $100 apiece, so we won't complain too much. But I sure wouldn't mind more of them!
The only places we've managed to find Dale of Norway pieces is at estate sales and thrift stores. Be very aware of flaws, as wool tends to have moth/wear holes which are hard to see. Also be on the lookout for sweaters from Fjallraven, Oleana, and Skjaeveland. L.L. Bean also has a line of sweaters made in Norway which are valuable for resale. Finding out if a sweater is Norwegian wool is simple, as it is a high end product and is always marked either near the brand tag or materials tag.
The Current Market Outlook: Brands like Dale of Norway can weather any market. They've been around for so long and have made a reputation built on quality items, that many people will still pay top dollar for their sweaters – even old ones. While the market has dropped off a little bit for old cardigans, anything that is brightly colored, unusual, or current still sells very well. Most pieces that you find will be vintage and worth around $40.
What to Look For: Diane Von Furstenberg is best known for its iconic wrap dress, but creates clothing ranging from business casual to trendy party dresses to $1,000 coats and gowns. Their items can really only be found by checking tags, as the style is not easily discernible from dozens of others you'll find. Dresses usually sell for $100+ but this is heavily influenced by current styles and simply how cute the dress is. Tops generally fall in the $20-40 range in good, pre-owned condition.
The Current Market Outlook: If something is basic and in plentiful supply, you can bet that it isn't worth much. Diane von Furstenberg pieces in bright colors, good fabrics (such as silk), and more expensive pieces like trench coats and full dresses still do well in the market.
What to Look For: Wilson's Leather Jackets are probably the most common brand of leather jackets we find at thrift stores. The majority of them are similar ill-fitting jackets from the early 90's and have very little resale value. The notable exceptions are jackets of unusual colors, tags, and jackets with a history. For example, specific styles that have been featured in movies or TV shows. Try looking up the style of Wilson's jacket that was worn by Dean Winchester on Supernatural if you want a shock.
The Current Market Outlook: The market will never be saturated with high quality, unusual products. Leave the traditional, boring leather jackets on the rack (since they're typically overpriced anyway), and keep your eyes open for the gems. When you find something unusual, price it high and content yourself knowing that the right buyer will come along eventually.
What to Look For: You know the style: purses and jackets that look like they've been stitched together by a hippie out of colorful rags. Look for hoodies, jackets, dresses, and bags – the more colorful and distressed the better.
The Current Market Outlook: Despite what many low-ballers seem to think, the market for Rising International remains excellent. People routinely price jackets and sweaters under $20, but if you take good pictures and price at $30-$35, as we do, buyers always seem to come. Because every piece is so different, if somebody wants your specific pattern and style, they are willing to pay to get it.
What to Look For: Keep an eye out for the brand tag that says "Moschino" on it. I wish I could be more helpful here, but the only time we've found anything of this brand, it's because we've been checking all the brands on a rack. Pieces are so varied, it's hard to nail down a style to look for. As far as brand names go, there are three main lines made by Moschino that you could possibly find:
- Moschino – This is the main line of both men's and women's clothing. It is the most exclusive and difficult to find.
- Moschino Cheap and Chic – This is a secondary women's line. It is typically more ready-to-wear fashion at a more accessible price. Post-2014, this line changed to the name Moschino Boutique.
- Love Moschino – This is the diffusion line that makes both men's and women's clothes. It is the the least valuable line and one that you'll want to do research on before buying. From 1986-2008 this line was known as Moschino Jeans.
The Current Market Outlook: Moschino items are very difficult to find, and so hold their value very well. We only find a piece every month or two, but when we do, we price it high and wait for the right buyer to come along. Because the items are unusual and are kind of rare at thrift stores, it is unlikely that the market will become saturated anytime soon.
What to Look For: Everyday Pendleton wear is not of much worth to the everyday reseller. The real money is in Western Wear, colorful sweaters, plaid shirts, and jackets. Keep an eye out for Aztec and Southwestern prints in bright colors. Also, we've only ever found them at thrift stores, but Pendleton wool blankets (particularly limited edition runs) can be found at estate sales and antique malls.
The Current Market Outlook: It used to be that anything with the name Pendleton on it could sell well on eBay. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Pieces that are drab in color and/or are totally out of style are very very difficult to sell. However, the price for brightly colored and patterned pieces has actually gone up due to the increased brand awareness. Highly desirable period pieces are hard to find, but if you intentionally source for them at antique malls, estate sales, and online, you will find them.
What to Look For: Vintage and leather. I've seen vintage Harley shirts with crass sayings on them go for over $300 on auction – the more offensive the better. If it's old, someone wants it. If it's leather, someone wants it whether it's old or not. We've sold leather vests, pants, and jackets. The more valuable ones will have some sort of embroidery, a large logo, or other decoration.
The Current Market Outlook: Depending on the season, riding gear and lifestyle motorcycle gear is a very hot market. T-shirts don't hold their value well unless they have great content or are vintage. Riding gear, boots, and other leather items hold their value very well. Its high-quality leather items are usually priced high at thrift stores, but we double or triple our money on leather riding jackets that we find on craigslist all the time. While tripling your money isn't very exciting when you're at the Goodwill Bins, when you're talking about buying a jacket for $100 and selling it for $300, it gets a lot more interesting.

President asked to pressure PTTEP Australasia
Observer of Timor Sea affairs Ferdi Tanoni has asked President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to issue an instruction to press PTTEP Australasia so that the Montara oil field operator would immediately remove the oil spill from the Timor Sea.
"The Presidential Instruction would serve as an Indonesian weapon to press the oil field operator because since Montara blew up on August 21, 2009, there was no sign that PTTEP Australasia is removing the Timor Sea from the oil spill, gas, condensate, black tin and chemicals," Tanoni said in Kupang Sunday.
Tanoni who is also Chairman of Care for West Timor Foundation (YPTB) said that by the Presidential Instruction Indonesia would be able to force PTTEP Australasia to pay compensation to the affected Indonesian people and surrounding islands.
He also underlined the Indonesian government's commitment to environmental conservation as carried out by US President Barack Obama against the world giant oil company British Petroleum (BP) urging it to immediately remove the oil spill in the Mexican Gulf.
The writer of "Timor Sea Scandal, a Canberra-Jakarta Economic Political Barter" also hoped President SBY would order Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa and Environmental Ninister Gusti Muhammad Hatta to sue PTTEP Australasia.
"Such legal process is important because the severely polluted Timor Sea had been kept secret and ignored for almost a year now without the slighest effort of preventing the spread of the pollution which is actually a crime to the environment and humanity," he said.
The former the Australian Embassy immigration agent added that the Timor Sea pollution had victimized thousands of people in the West Timor coastal regions of Rote Ndao, Sabu, Alor, Flores, Lembata and Sumba.

Shiplap is my love language. We coined this when my husband was putting up a planked wall in our entryway for my twenty-ninth birthday gift and well, I loved it so much I put it on a shirt. I'll have it up in my shop asap. 🙂
Wood is coming back into style and I am loving every bit of it. Our floors at the new house are darker grey tones and very modern looking. Even though I love them, I wanted to warm the entryway up a bit. The whitewashed, faux barn wood we made did the trick!
Here's how we did it!
We started at the bottom, nailing by hand each board on each stud. Thegreeneyedgroom drew a line up the wall on each stud to make sure it would be visible as we made our way up to the ceiling. (You can see them in the pictures just below.)
The pattern was created by availability of wood cuts, really. Once we got a full board on there was a smaller piece needed. Then we used the rest of that board on the next row.
Since we have a straight end of wood at the ending of the wall, we only used a chop saw and a jig saw for the little bits around the trim above the door.
… and by we, I mean he. haha.
It was a simple process, it just took effort and about 6 hours total. That is including my painting and aging each board.
Even our blueeyedbabies got to help hammer in some of the nails! We used smaller, decorative trim nails and I like how you can see them in the wood. It looks rustic and lived in, and it was just what our entryway needed.
I wanted an aged, barn wood look with a light white wash. I did not want any of the boards to look like a photo copy of each other. So, I winged it! And it paid off.
Some boards I stained first, with my favorite Early American. And the others, I started with dragging a old, ratted brush we have had for about ten years over the top that was coated with white paint. In some places, if I drug the brush against the grain, it would pick up the saw marks from the lumber mill and I really like that look. I also had extra containers full of water that I used to water down some of the stain and to wet my brush after using the white paint to thin it out.
Bottom line … Just go for it. Trust your eye. If you don't like it, sand it down a bit or paint over it!
Once each board had a bottom coat and dried for about ten minutes in the sun, I added the opposite over top. Some boards I put a thicker coat of stain, others I just wiped it lightly on.
We like how all of the boards look unique and pieced together. And the texture it gives to our home is unmatched, for sure.
1x's are my new favorite cut of lumber for everything. I used 1×4's for the entryway, 1×12's for our dining room shelves, 1×1's in our farmhouse pantry update, 1×4's in thegreeneyedgroom's surprise garage redo, and 1×1's to make a few custom teepees.
Why do I love them so? They are between 1-2$ a piece, they take stain extremely well, they are good quality wood, and you can pick through the pile, making sure you get a straight piece.
Here is the before … boring, basic, builder grade.
And the after! …

Every offseason NHL teams are extremely aggressive when signing top free agents Womens Charlie McAvoy Jersey , which they should be. Yet聽during this period a lot of teams offer deals that are far too expensive in value to players that are already showing signs that they are declining. It appears that every offseason we see this in bunches and that NHL teams do not learn from others鈥?mistakes. Each year there is at least one deal that every hockey fan sees as a huge mistake and it is only made worse聽when it is made by their own team. I have personally been there numerous times.
Throughout this article, we will be looking at fifteen players who are absolutely killing their team鈥檚 cap space. A common pattern with the players on this list is that these players are in their early to mid thirties and are already showing signs of decline. Due to the fact that their contracts are so bad, these teams basically have no chance of moving these players any time soon. The NHL salary cap is extremely unforgiving and one bad contract can ultimately sink your team鈥檚 chances of succeeding. Some teams even have more than one horrendous contract.
Nonetheless, let鈥檚 look at these 15聽players and the impact that their contracts leave on the future of their franchises.
James Shields of the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds play in opposite leagues and rarely see each other, yet they currently have much in common.
Now that they're starting to make something out of what appeared to be a totally lost season, they'd like to keep it going.
The Reds got off to the worst start in baseball at 8-27, one so bad that getting to .500 looked to be as much of a challenge as winning a division title would be for most teams.
But when the Reds (36-48) take on the right-handed Shields and the White Sox on Monday night at Great American Ball Park, in the teams' first matchup since 2015, they'll be one of the majors' hottest clubs. They've won 11 of 14 after taking the final two games of a four-game weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers Josh Doctson Jersey , and interim manager Jim Riggleman now has a 33-33 record for a last-place team.
Considering that Riggleman took over a Reds team that was 3-15 under former manager Bryan Price, that's something of an accomplishment. And the Reds own a 6-1 record in interleague games.
"We know we can play with these teams that are in first place in their division," Riggleman said.
They're winning now in grand fashion, too. Jose Peraza hit the team's major league-leading ninth grand slam Sunday in an 8-2 win over the Brewers, their second in two games (pitcher Michael Lorenzen hit a pinch-grand slam Saturday) and sixth in 17 games. They've already tied a club season record.
"We've been getting better at-bats … and we've happened to have men on base," Riggleman said.
Cincinnati starter Matt Harvey pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings before being lifted after a rain delay, and the Reds dealt Brewers rookie Freddy Peralta (3-1), who gave up three runs in five innings, his first major league loss. Peralta allowed only one hit in seven shutout innings against the Kansas City Royals in his previous start.
"That's probably the best I've felt since 2013 Connor Brown Jersey ," said Harvey (4-5), who won his third straight start.
Shields (3-9), likewise, is beginning to see a ray of sunshine in what previously was a gloomy season. He's coming off his best start of the year, pitching seven shutout innings and giving up four hits Wednesday in a 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. It was his 12th quality start of the season, or five more than he had all of last season.
Shields still isn't the pitcher that won 13 or more games seven times from 2008 to 2015, but it hasn't helped that he's pitching for a team that's off to the second worst start in franchise history. He has allowed a respectable six earned runs in his last four starts, and twice yielded one or no runs while lasting at least seven innings.
At age 36, Shields is making adjustments to compensate for his decreased velocity Alexander Kerfoot Jersey , yet has pitched at least six innings in 12 of his last 13 starts for a last-place team.
"My body's feeling really good this year, and this is kind of what I've done my whole career," Shields told reporters after the game against the Twins. "I strive to go as deep as I possibly can in games and so far it's been good.
"I'm not throwing as hard as I used to. If I were to throw over the top, I'd still throw a little harder than I am right now. (But) at the end of the day, I'm feeling really good with my delivery right now, my mechanics. It's been a lot of fun making these adjustments."
Shields goes against Reds right-hander Luis Castillo (5-8), who was 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA in five June starts. He retired the first 11 batters he faced Wednesday at Atlanta, only to give up four quick runs on a walk and five consecutive singles, although the Reds came back to win 6-5.
Castillo is 0-1 in two starts against American League clubs this season Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey , giving up eight runs in six innings. He has never faced the White Sox.
Shields is 18-18 with a 4.57 ERA in interleague play and 0-2 in two career starts against the Reds, the last of which was in 2015.
The White Sox (29-54) ended a three-game losing streak Sunday by salvaging the final game of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers, winning 10-5 as Avisail Garcia went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI.
The Reds have won five consecutive interleague games but are facing the White Sox at Great American Ball Park for the first time since 2009. The White Sox are 16-4 overall against the Reds and 10-2 in Cincinnati, though that success there predated any of the current players.

Watch Devil in a Blue Dress
Devil in a Blue Dress is a neo noir, hard boiled crime fiction thriller starring, Denzel Washington, Tom Sizemore, Don Cheadle and Jennifer Beals. The film was directed by Carl Franklin and based on the crime novel of the same name by Walter Mosely who was a executive producer on the project. Carl Franklin is reported to have said that he thought the novel was more than just a exercise in the noir fiction genre and had something important to say about society, specifically race relations.
The story follows Easy Rawlins, played by Washington, a former World War II vet who becomes a private eye to pay his bills, despite the fact that he has no formal training. He is hired by an eccentric and dangerous man named Albright who wishes for Easy to locate a white woman named Daphne Monet, portrayed by Jennifer Beals. Easy enlists the help of his friend Mouse, played with sadistic relish by Don Cheadle, to track down the woman. On their way they are caught up in crime after crime, eventually culminating in several murders.

Learn about our editorial policy Elizabeth Scott, MS Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Steven Gans, MD on August 22, 2017 Steven Gans, MD, is board-certified in psychiatry and is an active supervisor, teacher, and mentor at Massachusetts General Hospital. Learn about our Medical Review Board Steven Gans, MD Updated on June 24, 2019 PhotoAlto/Michele Constantini/Getty Images More in Healthcare Professionals Geriatric Care Healthcare Compensation Office Management Medical Technology Medical Supplies Problems with healthcare seem to be getting quite a bit of press, but one significant problem may not be receiving enough attention. This is the challenge of having a high population of overly-stressed doctors. Understanding the stress doctors face and how it affects them can help us to understand behind-the-scenes factors that doctors deal with, and raise awareness of their heavy levels of stress. Perhaps even more importantly, looking at the effects of stress faced by doctors and understanding that doctors are neither immune to stress or always completely adept at handling the stress they face, can shine a spotlight on the importance of being proactive about our own stress management rather than waiting for someone else to tell us how to manage our stress or even that we need to do so. Finally, focusing on the job factors that create the most significant stress and the way that this stress can be managed can not only help the doctors who may be reading this but anyone who works a job that is stressful, particularly one that is stressful in the ways that doctor's lifestyles can be stressful. Understanding the sources of doctors' stress, the effects of this stress and the ways that this stress can be more effectively managed can help doctors and patients alike. Doctors and the Toll of Stress We are often told to talk to our doctors when we face stress that feels too challenging to handle, and this is good advice. Doctors have medical training so they understand the causes and effects of stress and can point us to health resources and plans to manage stress. They may also be quite adept at handling stress, but this isn't always the case, and the stress that many doctors face is far beyond basic run-of-the-mill stress. One study found that the proportion of doctors experiencing "above threshold" levels of stress is 28 percent compared to the general population, 18 percent of whom experience this level of stress on the job. Another study by AMA and The Mayo Clinic found that doctors work an average of 10 hours more per week than the average population, experience emotional exhaustion at higher rates (43 percent versus 24 percent of the general population) and experience burnout at significantly higher burnout rates (49 percent versus 28 percent) and lower life satisfaction rates as well (36 percent of physicians reported being satisfied with their work-life balance, compared to 61 percent of the general U.S. working population). Another Medscape survey reported that physicians in 26 or 27 specialties rated their burnout levels as a "4" or higher on a 1-7 scale and that nearly 60 percent of emergency room physicians felt burned out in 2017 up from 50 percent in 2013. This problem can be difficult for doctors to cope with, but it can also affect patients. Another group of studies found that doctors who are more stressed have higher rates of medical malpractice claims, and hospitals with more stressed doctors have higher rates of malpractice claims as well. Sources of Stress, Anxiety, and Burnout in Doctors Long Hours: Doctors work many hours, and these tend to be stressful hours. Their shifts are long and filled with strenuous activity. They are often on-call even when not on duty so they may live with the feeling of always being on duty. This can make leisure time feel less relaxing and contribute to an experience of chronic stress. This also means that weekends may feel less restorative. These are some of the prime risk factors for job burnout, which explains why so many doctors experience it.High Stakes: Another burnout risk factor is the feeling that mistakes are risky—that real and lasting damage can come from a small mistake at work. Most jobs contain a degree of this—it's never a great idea to make a mistake at work—but in many jobs, it's okay to make some mistakes, and rare to do everything perfectly. In the life of a doctor, any mistake could be a mistake that is remembered for years, a mistake that ruins lives.This small margin of error and high level of consequence for imperfection can lead to heightened stress and anxiety. This means that if they make a mistake and the consequences are heavy, this mistake can be haunting; it also means that the fear of making a mistake can lead to a heightened sense of anxiety. Either way, the toll is heavy and the push to be a perfectionist is strong.Perfectionism: Doctors can face a risk of maintaining a perfectionistic attitude in their lives for the reasons just discussed. While this type of thinking can simply be part of the territory for doctors, it can also be damaging in ways that aren't always recognized. Perfectionists are people who will beat themselves up over receiving a low A on a test when a high achiever with a healthier outlook may rightly congratulate themselves for receiving an A in the first place.Over time, perfectionists tend to be far more stressed and even perform more poorly because of this stress—the stress of never quite being enough. They may also succumb to procrastination and burn out more easily as well.Another layer of difficulty that doctors face is the perception that they must have all the answers, that they should be infallible. If they talk to their colleagues about the stress they face or feelings of burnout, this shows a perceived weakness that many doctors don't want to show. Out of fear of professional or personal ramifications, many doctors don't discuss the challenges they face or seek help themselves when they may need support with managing stress. This lack of support can take away a line of defense against stress that doctors sorely.Emotionally Draining Situations: The need to face emotionally loaded or draining situations on a regular basis is something that doctors face constantly, and another job factor that puts people at an increased risk for burnout. They need to deal with patients who may be upset or scared, patients who are angry, and they must break the bad news to patients and their family members can be particularly taxing for compassionate doctors, and this constant part of the job can take a heavy toll.Unfortunately, doctors are expected to deal with these emotionally heavy situations with grace and compassionate support, then go directly to the next patient (and the potential for loss) without slowing their stride. This requires a strong level of self-compassion and a supportive network for doctors themselves, but even with those factors in place, the emotional toll of being a doctor can be a big one. Other professions that involve emotionally challenging situations as a regular part of the job may also be at risk for burnout.Lack of Choice: Doctors can't usually take a day off if they feel that they're approaching a state of burnout. They can't go on vacation and leave their phones off, most of the time. They don't always have a high level of choice in their day-to-day lives, and this can be stressful as well.Jobs with a higher degree of autonomy—jobs that allow people to choose how they spend their time or freedom in structuring their schedule—tend to be less stressful jobs, but doctors often have their schedules dictated to them with unexpected surprises often appearing as well. Even the choice to be in the field is one that can feel like less and less of a choice—one study found that nearly half of doctors would quit being doctors if they felt it was a viable option for them. This lack of choice can feel particularly stressful.Little Support: Doctors face the kind of stress that is less common in a job, and they maintain a promise of confidentiality with their patients, so it may be more difficult to talk about the challenges of their job and their day. For one thing, they're not able to share everything. But another factor is that their loved ones can't always relate. This can make it difficult to find social support in the same way that many people find it. Stress Relief Plan for Doctors and Other Stressed Professionals We all need doctors to be at their best, including the doctors themselves! Whether you are a doctor facing stress, an interested party, or someone who has a stressful job looking for stress relief techniques and lifestyle changes for the highly stressed, there are several things you can do to maintain a less stressed existence, build your resilience, and manage stress more easily—without leaving your profession. Consider the following. Minimize Stressors Where You Can: While not all types of stress are harmful, too much stress overall can take a toll and lead to chronic stress. This means that the stress of something exciting like a major trip or even a weekly volunteer job can add up. This also means that the stress of the little things in life—losing your car keys, dealing with a messy home, enduring a draining friend—can also add to the overall stress in your life. (Life coaches call these little stressors "tolerations" because they take work to tolerate.) Getting rid of them wherever you can leave you with more time and energy to devote to things you enjoy and can leave you with more energy to handle the stress you face at work.Find a Supportive Network: Social support really helps with stress, especially the right kind of social support. If you feel that your life doesn't contain enough of this, it's important to make a change. You can find more people to create strong relationships with. You can work on strengthening the relationships you do have. You can also join a support group or talk to a therapist; these things can be really helpful for stress management. If you find yourself uncomfortable talking about the stress you feel because you're afraid of "showing weakness," this is all the more reason to explore and alter those feelings so you're able to receive support rather than just giving it.Engage With Patients Collaboratively: In the past, doctors were expected to have all the answers, but with the rise of the internet, many patients come in with answers of their own. This can often create more stress and work if patients don't have accurate information, but it also shows a willingness to be a partner in their own care, which is something that can be encouraged. Many doctors find that talking to patients, telling them what they can do in their lives to improve their health and well-being, enlisting their participation in their own care. This can actually take pressure off of both parties, in the long run, empowering patients and sharing some of the burdens of responsibility for patients' health.Accept That Mistakes Will Be Made: It is impossible and unreasonable to expect a doctor, as a human being, to never make a mistake, but that's the pressure that we all often put on ourselves, and those around us can sometimes contribute to this expectation. These strategies for managing perfectionism can help with the important goal of accepting that you will make some mistakes, but that your best is not just the only thing people can reasonably expect, but that it is enough. If you make a mistake, know that you did your best and then let it go and continue to do your best. This may take practice and is a goal that we always move toward, but it's also important to remember.Practice Extreme Self-Care: One of the most stressful aspects of being a doctor is that you may not have enough time to take care of your basic needs, and if you don't, you may be more stressed and less effective on the job. If you haven't already, you need to become ruthless in meeting your own physical needs: getting enough sleep, enough exercise, enough healthy food, and enough activities that can help you to manage stress. Because this is a recipe for overall wellness, when you learn how to master the obstacles that keep you from meeting your self-care goals, you can use this information to help your patients overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their health-supporting activities as well. In other words, focusing on self-care and stress management can help you to relate to the challenges your patients face and learn to overcome them so you can better help your patients to do the same.Practice Meditation—In Whatever Form: There are many effective forms of meditation, and they all help with stress management. The important thing to remember is that the best type of meditation is the type that you will be comfortable practicing regularly. If you don't already meditate, this is a habit that can help you to detach from the stress around you when you need to—something that is vital for doctors. It can also help you to build resilience to stress. You can try a daily prayer, a gratitude journal habit, a loving-kindness meditation, or a bath meditation at the end of the day, and they will all help if you simply practice on a regular basis.Do Three Things to Lift Your Mood Every Day: Research on resilience and positive psychology has found that lifts to your mood can broaden your perspective and help you to build resilience in multiple ways. Perhaps the best part of these findings is that doing something as simple as getting an ice cream or writing in your gratitude journal—things that put you in a better mood—can bring lasting benefits in the way of personal resilience. Learn how this works and make it a simple and fun part of your daily routine. A Word From Verywell Being aware of the stress in your life and creating a proactive plan to manage it can help you to transform your experience of stress, particularly if you are a doctor. Doctors experience high levels of stress and may have fewer support resources in place. This is why meditation, social support, and other aspects of stress management are so important for doctors. Note: Many policy changes can and should be made to minimize stress and maximize personal resilience in doctors. However, this article is primarily aimed at what the doctors themselves can do for stress management and personal balance, and what we can all do if we find ourselves in stressful jobs and life situations.
