The fat-burning equation is simple: Protein builds muscle. More muscle = more fat burning. And fish is one of the healthiest sources of lean protein—especially wild salmon, says dietitian Lauren Minchen, MPH, RD, CDN. It’s also a rich source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, which fuel fat burning, block fat storage and aid weight loss, she explains. But that’s not all: “Getting enough protein and healthy fat also helps to reduce cravings and has been shown to help keep weight off for longer,” adds Alissa Rumsey, MS, RD, CDN, CSCS.
Greens such as collards and kale are making a difference to fat burn. Kale which is filled with vitamin K, Omega 3 essential fatty acids fiber and a rich calcium source. Lutein helps to ensure health of the eyes. Vitamin C and beta carotene can help in healthy bowel movements and enhance satiety, promoting general good health apart from low body fat.
There are plenty of fun ways to get moving and exercise. The key is figuring out what you find fun and then going and doing it. Many find classes like cycling, Zumba, hip hop, step, boot camp to be great fun, while others find their fun hitting the trails, playing tennis, biking, swimming, or even just walking with their dog. Sometimes a personal trainer, a friend, or even an online program can make any format of fitness fun as well. Be open minded and try everything you can. You won't be disappointed.
One of the reasons your metabolism isn’t burning away fat as efficiently as you’d like? Look to your magnesium levels. This essential micronutrient is required for the body to produce and store energy, and also helps boost lipolysis (a process by which your body releases fat from its stores to use as energy)—yet 75 percent of Americans do not get their RDA of this important metabolism-boosting mineral. Just a half cup of pumpkin seeds provides nearly 100 percent of your daily magnesium needs.
Sunny side up, scrambled, hard-boiled, or fried—it doesn’t matter. A pan, spatula, and carton of eggs are all you need to fry some serious flab. Eggs are one of the best sources of choline, a major fat-burning nutrient that helps turn off the genes responsible for belly-fat storage. Bonus: eggs are a great source of lean protein, which can set the fat-burning pace for your entire day when eaten for breakfast. In a study of 21 men published in the journal Nutrition Research, half were fed a breakfast of bagels while half ate eggs. The egg group were observed to have a lower response to ghrelin, were less hungry three hours later and consumed fewer calories for the next 24 hours!
Eat only moderate amounts of saturated fats. There has been a lot of back and forth research over whether or not saturated fats are unhealthy. Since fats in general are higher in calories are you're trying to reduce weight and body fat, limit these types of fats. They are found in animal products like butter, full fat cheese, red meat and lard.
This naturally sweet winter squash boasts one of the highest fiber counts of all the veggies, ringing in at a whopping 9 grams per cup. Promoting feelings of fullness—and thus staving off overeating so you can burn, rather than gain, fat—with satiating fiber isn’t the only way you’ll target that turkey neck. That’s because acorn squash is also an excellent source of vitamin C, a micronutrient that your body uses to decrease levels of the fat-storing hormone cortisol and boost the fat-burning effects of exercise, according to Arizona State University researchers.
It’s a dietary miracle: A fat that makes you skinny. Dietary supplementation of coconut oil actually reduced abdominal obesity in a study published in the journal Lipids. Of the participants, half were given two tablespoons of coconut oil daily and the other half were given soybean oil, and although both groups experienced overall weight loss, only the coconut oil group saw smaller waistlines. And other researchers have also pointed to the waist-whittling effects of the tropical oil. In a separate study of 30 men, those who ate 2 tablespoons of coconut oil a day shrank their waists by an average of 1.1 inches in one month. Thank C.O.’s medium-chain triglycerides, which are burned as energy instead of being stored as fat, and lauric acid, which has been shown to pinpoint belly fat and torch it.
This ancient grain will make that flat tire around your waist history! Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains the complete chain of amino acids that are necessary for muscle building and fat loss. In a 2015 study in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation, researchers discovered that patients who ingested higher amounts of vegetable protein were far less susceptible to metabolic syndrome (a combination of high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and obesity). Before you thought it couldn’t get any better, there’s more: quinoa has the highest level of betaine, according to a Food Chemistry study. Why is that important? Well, a Nutrients study linked betaine supplementation to a revved metabolism and inhibition of fat production.
While it’s often assumed that bread is off-limits when you’re trying to lose belly fat, the right bread may actually expedite the process. Switching to sprouted bread can help out carb-lovers eager to get their fix without going up a belt size, thanks to the inulin content of sprouted grains. The results of a study published in Nutrition & Metabolism reveal that found that pre-diabetic study subjects whose diets were supplemented with inulin shaved off more belly fat and total weight than those whose meal plans didn’t pack this healthy prebiotic fiber.
Carbs, rich proteins, and fatty foods serve as catalysts for producing energy to perform multiple functions. Excess fat is stored in the cells of the body. When it comes to fatty foods, the adipose cells run out of space to store the fat and place them in the linings of the muscle instead. These can be found in the chest, waist and hip area. Eventually, you end up with belly flab. Losing additional fat from the areas of the body which are tough to slim down is the largest concern. Before exercising, proper diet is required to reduce belly fat. Diet and exercise combination burns more calorie than is consumed. Most people resort to fatty foods and fast food items. But if your waistline matters to you, you need to give up on high-calorie fast foods. Additionally, you need to eat foods that burn belly fat. Here are your best options.
This Asian veggie dish is made by fermenting a blend of cabbage, radishes, and scallions with a seasoned paste of red pepper, salted shrimp, or kelp (koji) powder. Fermented foods are great for healing your gut thanks to the high levels of probiotics, but the unique strains found in kimchi may also help you stay slim: Researchers at Kyung Hee University in Korea induced obesity in lab rats by feeding them a high-fat diet. The group that got a Lactobacillus brevis supplement— the culture strain found in kimchi—was able to suppress the diet-induced increase in weight gain by 28 percent! If kimchi isn’t your thing, also consider adding one of these probiotic foods for a healthier gut to your diet.
Carbs are not the enemy. Not whole-grain carbs, that is. People who ate three or more daily servings of whole grains (such as oats) had 10 percent less belly fat than people who ate the same amount of calories from processed white carbs (bread, rice, pasta), according to a Tufts University study. It’s theorized that this is due to whole grains’ high fiber and slow-burn properties, which keep you satiated longer.
While many people turn to artificial sweeteners in a misguided attempt to whittle their waistlines, those fake sugars are likely to have the opposite effect. According to Yale researchers, artificial sweeteners are actually linked with an increased risk of abdominal obesity and weight gain, possibly because they can trigger cravings for the real stuff and spike insulin levels in a similar fashion to real sugar.
But you'll lose the most fat by doing HIIT, or high-intensity interval training. This training technique involves working at full throttle for short intervals -- typically 10 seconds to a minute -- then recovering at a slow pace or resting for a minute or two. It increases your metabolism after a workout, since your muscles need to work hard to get "back to normal." HIIT also burns more belly fat than traditional, steady-pace cardio, according to Penn State University.

Ashkan Sahihi on the picture e book ‘The New York Years’ – WWD
Ashkan Sahihi has not been able to visit New York for over a year – a strange situation when you bring out a book about New York photography that you didn’t want to make nostalgic. After working on the book “The New York Years” for months in Berlin, it is almost impossible for the photographer not to feel any nostalgia for the Big Apple.
“Of course I miss New York. I haven’t seen my kids in a year – but something turned out to be added. It turns out that there is a certain level of reflection, ”says Sahihi of Zoom. “We didn’t just talk about what was before, but also about another level of change, of life that puts us in difficult situations.”
His photo book then reads both as a love letter to New York’s creatives and as an artist statement, which Sahihi originally intended when he began work on it before the pandemic and was firmly convinced that it was not read with nostalgia.
“I’m a man of a certain age and men my age tend to look at things a certain way, and they tend to call things beautiful and amazing. And they tend to be nostalgic and not realize that what they are talking about is a point in their youth where things were different, where there was no responsibility and so on, and they let the bigger cultural, social and political content more likely than I look at it in full, ”says Sahihi. “That’s why it was very important to me not to be nostalgic. And here we are, suddenly nostalgic for the time we didn’t have to wear masks. “
He specifically wanted to work with a young art director to counter any nostalgia he’d usually picked up, and released much of the control over the selection and arrangement of images.
“I wanted the portraits to come together and tell their own story. I don’t want to sound too great, I just dare to say it in retrospect: the DNA of a cultural community at a certain point in time, ”he says.
Sahihi had no personal desire to bring out a book with these pictures – he says he lacked the ego for it – but the experience of looking back through the book now gives him a perspective on the people he has included.
“I mean, these are people who were part of the reason I moved to New York when I was a very, very young man,” he says. “The ones who created the art that drew me to New York and that made me see how they did it? What’s your secret? Why are you in New York? ‘”
His New York, which he moved to when he was 22, was a time when “You went dancing and shared the dance floor and Keith Haring or Debbie Harry were in the room you were in,” he says. “They already knew each other from downtown and were approaching them [for shoots] wasn’t as confused as it is now.
“New York was a completely different animal back then,” says Sahihi. “It was a self-sustaining myth. People came and did things they thought they couldn’t do at home, whether at home in Frankfurt, Bombay or Pittsburgh. And that would beam back to the world like, “Oh, all the crazy people are in New York and I’m going to do these crazy things.” It came with a sense of belonging, maybe even freedom, and at the same time with a sense of responsibility that you too have to do things now. You have to create, you have to produce, you have to deliver. “

The History of Tanzania Railways Corporation can be traced back from 1948 after the establishment of the East Africa Railways and Harbours Corporation (EAR&H).
East African Railways and Harbours Corporation (EAR&H) was a defunct company that operated railways and harbours in East Africa from 1948 to 1977.
It was formed in 1948 for the new East African High Commission by merging the Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbous with the Tanganyika Railway of the Tanganyika Territory.
As well as running railways and harbours in the three territories it ran inland shipping services on Lake Victoria, Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert and the Victoria Nile and the Albert Nile.
When the East African Railways and Harbours Coorporation was dissolved in 1977 and its assets divided between Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, Tanzania Railways Corporation was formed to take over its operations in Tanzania.

What would you get if you were to sign up for Mutual of Omaha’s Medigap Plan F? This is an incredibly popular coverage plan, but you should know that it is not for everyone.
We would like to show you what it is offering, but at the same time, we also want to help you find out how you can determine the best plan for you. Plan F may or may not be the ideal pick for someone with your financial situation or health status. Read on to find out more.
Click below to Learn about Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement Plans
Medical Coverage under Plan F
Medigap Plan F is only available to those who were enrolled in Medicare prior to January 1st of 2020.
Medigap Plan F covers a lot of healthcare expenses- more than any other Supplement plan. In order to provide that kind of coverage, the insurance companies have to raise the rates for Plan F higher than they do for any other Supplement plan. You need to know that before you try to apply for this coverage plan.
Compare it to the others to see if it is really worth it.
To help you determine whether it is worthwhile, you can look over its list of coverage items. These are all the supplemental expenses that there are, so the other Supplement plans draw their coverage from this same list.
Plan F is the only one to cover all these items, though. The other plans shave off a bit of coverage here or a lot of coverage there to make up their own unique offerings.
Let’s look now at what Plan F has to offer:
- Coinsurance coverage for skilled nursing care
- Coinsurance coverage for Medicare Part A hospice services
- Copayments for Medicare Part A
- Copayments for Medicare Part B
- Excess charges for Medicare Part B
- Deductibles for Medicare Part A
- Deductibles for Medicare Part B
- Three pints of blood annually
- Travel exchange coverage for foreign medical emergencies (essentially for being airlifted or carried by ambulance for medical procedure or treatment outside of the United States)
With all these items, you have the substantial coverage plan of Medigap Plan F, but you also have to pay a hefty price for that coverage. As you can imagine, the most comprehensive plan is also the most expensive, and the rates can change based on which insurance company is selling the plan and where they are selling it.
Do You Need Plan F?
Look first at the kind of medical expenses you are paying for. Look at how much you pay and how many of these items are included in what Plan F is offering.
If you only see a few of them there, then Plan F probably isn’t right for you. It is a comprehensive coverage plan, and not everyone is going to find it beneficial for them.
While it may be hugely popular, it is simply too expensive and it covers too much to be a viable option for most people.
If you can comfortably pay your medical bills right now, then you may not need any additional coverage at all, but we suggest looking at some of the Supplement plans anyway, just to make sure that you don’t need one of them.
If you find that Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement Plan F is a good option for you, then we suggest looking at some of the other plans that share some similarities. In particular, we recommend Plan G and Plan N. These two plans both offer you lots of coverage, and they are both cheaper than Plan F.
With Plan G, you get nearly the full coverage package. It covers you for all the things that Plan F does, except for one item, and that would be the Medicare Part B deductible.
Everything else is covered. That single item of coverage is only going to cost you $183, so you may be better off just paying for it yourself. It can often be cheaper to go with Plan G and pay for what it does not cover than to pay the extra for Plan F every month.
You should also compare these plans to Plan N. It’s a coverage plan that takes care of most of the things on the comprehensive list above. There are just a few items it won’t cover they are the same Part B deductible, the Part B excess charges, and minor copayments of $20 and $50 for most hospital visits.
You may want to compare a few other Medigap plans as well. There are seven more to pick from, and we just showed you some of the higher coverage ones. We suggest looking at a few of them to see how they apply to you, especially if you are not paying much for your medical care right now.
How You Can Get Plan F
So, you have looked at what Plan F has to offer, and if you think you might be interested in it, then you should know what it takes to sign up for this plan. It’s really easy to become eligible.
You simply need to be 65 or older and have a Medicare coverage plan. That medical plan is required for any Supplement plans since the Supplement plans are specifically designed to fill in gaps left by the Medicare plan.
The age 65 requirement is one you can bypass if you have a disability or if you suffer from end-stage renal disease. These conditions can qualify you for Medicare before you turn 65, so if they do apply to you, then you should talk to your insurance agent or a Medicare agent about early eligibility.
Compare Medicare Plan G vs Plan F – Save with Plan G!
In order to actually get Plan F, though, you will need to go to the website or office of the insurance company you are planning to buy the plan from.
You may not know which company to buy from yet, and that’s okay. You can always compare their rates by visiting a price comparison website online.
Once you know the company you want to use, though, you will need to fill out an application form with them directly. You can do that on their website if you like, and it should not take more than a few minutes.
Once you have finished filling out the short form, just submit it and wait for an answer. If you applied within six months of turning 65, then you are guaranteed to be approved for whatever plan you chose.
You also get great rates on the plan, and your preexisting medical conditions cannot be factored into the cost. This is the period known as Open Enrollment, and it is when every senior who wants Mutual of Omaha Medigap Plan F, or any Medigap plan, should be enrolling.

If you are looking for that special pet to complete your family, you might want to consider the Asil chicken. If you have not resided in the country or on a farm, having a chicken as a pet may seem like a strange idea. But if you have the proper facilities to house a chicken, this may be the pet you have been looking for.
This hearty bird can find its origins in Pakistan and India, as far back as 1500 BC. It is a bigger bird when compared to American standards. Their legs and the rest of their body are well-muscled. They have been originally bred for their fighting capabilities. The Asil chickens do not need to be taught how to fight. This is what made them attractive to those that are interested in cockfighting. Naturally, this is not an option today.
However; since then there are bigger and more fierce breeds that are being bred today for cockfighting, they have fallen out of favor. Since it is in their nature to fight, one does have to be careful how they house them together.
The young chicks should be watched as well. It is actually a good idea to separate them at a young age because of their tendency to fight. As with all animals, it is a good idea to find out their personalities because you cannot always go by one golden rule. Just know that keeping a large group of these chickens together will probably lead to fighting.
So what would make the Asil chicken a candidate for a pet? They are an incredibly smart bunch of birds. Their intelligence is what sets them apart from other chickens. They also bond very closely with their owners and will often seek out attention when the owner is present. They are visibly happy animals when they have their needs met and feel comfortable and safe.
If you are looking for a good egg layer, then you need to be looking at another breed of chicken. The Asil hen makes a poor egg layer. Ironically, they are excellent sitters. So, the eggs they do lay will usually be healthy. The entire breed is known for the fact that they rarely become ill. Disease is common in most poultry breeds and this breed remains healthy under good to fair conditions.
It is up to you as to whether you choose the Asil chicken as a pet. They may not be a popular as a dog or a cat, but some people are finding them to be quite the family addition. It may be possible to have several around as pets and responsibly breed a few others to those that are looking for an unique little bundle of feathers.

2013 NFL Rookie Symposium to address sexual orientation
It's the latest step by the NFL to create an atmosphere of acceptance for when a player comes out as gay.
The 2013 NFL Rookie Symposium, which begins Sunday, will address sexual orientation. It's the latest step by the country's most popular sport to create an atmosphere of acceptance for when a player comes out.
In the wake of NBA player Jason Collins' announcement that he is homosexual, Robert Gulliver, the NFL’s chief human resource officer, told ESPNNewYork.com, "I would not be surprised if there are more players coming out."
Last month, in light of the positive response to Collins coming out, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell weighed in on the matter, telling NFL.com that he believed a gay player would be "accepted."
"Yes. Again, I have such great respect for our players," Goodell said at the time. "I don't think it will just be tolerated, I think it will be accepted. These are individuals who play in our league. We're all different in some fashion, and we're accepting of our differences. That's what this is all about."
Linebackers Scott Fujita and Brendon Ayanbadejo and punter Chris Kluwe have long championed gay rights, and all think NFL locker rooms could handle a gay teammate. And back in March, CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman wrote that some people believed the atmosphere was safe for an NFL player to come out.
In March, Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons suggested that coming out would be a "selfish act." And a month later, Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace admitted that he didn't understand why "guys wanna mess with other guys" before clarifying that he wasn't saying whether it was "right or wrong" and apologizing to anyone he may have offended.
This spring, NFL Player's Association president Domonique Foxworth said he could envision a scenario where multiple gay players would come out. And however it happens, Foxworth says those players will have the full backing of the union.
“When the public finds out about it, it's going to be a media storm and it's going to be a lot of press and a lot of attention, and probably not all of it's gonna be positive,” Foxworth said. “But the NFLPA, as long as I'm president of it, is going to be behind that player and providing support."

In recent years, the interest of the research community in the performance of Web browsing has grown steadily. Due to the rapid evolution of Internet and Web technologies, the needs for understanding the Web performance never end. In order to reveal end-user perceived performance of Web browsing, researchers started to move their measurements "up the stac k" and to study real user experiences. In this thesis work, we address multiple issues of Web browsing performance from the perspective of the end-user.
Web performance analysis based on user experiences
The thesis is composed by three parts: performance analysis, performance diagnosis and a new methodology for critical path analysis. The first part intro duces our initial platform which is based on browser-level measurements. We explain measurement metrics that can be easily acquired from the browser and indicators for end-user experience. Then, we use clustering techniques to correlate higher-level performance metrics with lower level metrics. As we will show, such clustering methods can be used in different scenarios to study the relationship between QoE and QoS, and compare and explain the performances experienced in different homes.
In the second part, we present our diagnosis tool called FireLog. We first discuss different possible causes that can prevent a Web page to achieve fast rendering; then, we describe details of the tool's components and its measurements. Based on the measured metrics, we illustrate our model for the performance diagnosis in an automatic fashion. Finally, we use both controlled experiments and long-term wild deployments to evaluate FireLog.
In the last part, we propose a new methodology named Critical Path Method for the Web performance analysis. We first explain details about Web browser's intri nsic features during page rendering and then we formalize our the methodology. By adopting this critical path method, we transform Web page rendering process into a Directed Acyclic Graph. With help of the assigned timings, we can derive a final critical path that has a direct impact on the ove rall Web page rendering performance.

8:55am PT by Rick Porter
TV Ratings: 'Bachelor in Paradise' Stays on Top
ABC's Bachelor in Paradise continued it ratings winning streak Monday, topping the broadcast networks' adults 18-49 rankings for the sixth straight week.
Preemptions in Houston and the Bay Area for Monday Night Football mean the show's numbers are likely inflated some — Bachelor in Paradise is currently at a 1.4 rating in adults 18-49. Even if it comes down in the finals, however, it should retain its No. 1 ranking. The finale of Grand Hotel is currently at 0.6 in the demo.
NBC's ratings may also be somewhat inflated thanks to a football preemption in New Orleans. American Ninja Warrior stands at a 0.9 among adults 18-49 in the fast nationals, which would tie its Monday high if it sticks, and a season-high 5 million viewers. Dateline is at 0.7 and 4.13 million viewers.
So You Think You Can Dance scored a 0.4 in adults 18-49 on Fox, even with a week ago. Its total audience of 1.92 million viewers is up slightly week to week. CBS' special Lip Sync to the Rescue scored a 0.5 and 3.55 million viewers. Penn & Teller: Fool Us (0.2 in the demo) and Whose Line Is It Anyway (0.2) were both in line with their season averages on The CW.
ABC topped the broadcast networks in primetime with a 1.2 rating among adults 18-49, pending updates for the NFL preemptions. NBC is at 0.8, also pending updates. CBS, Fox, Telemundo and Univision all tied at 0.4. The CW trailed with a 0.2.

|Election Battles | Vote2001 Features|
John Dunlop, Spanish Civil War veteran
It wasn't until 1936, when I was 21, that I started to take an interest in politics. I'd never had the vote before, so I started wondering who I'd vote for. Nobody in the office had a good word to say for any of the main parties. So who did that leave? As far as I could see, the fascists and the communists.
The fascists were making a big noise down in London. I wrote away and they sent back some scurrilous literature about the Jews which absolutely outraged me. I shoved it in the bin. That left the communists. I lived in a house with three storeys and we had two maids (though we cut back to one servant during the Depression), but I went to the home of one of the boys I played football with and found it was just one room. You had to see the conditions in the slum areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow, where five or six households had one lavatory between them.
Reading the communist manifesto, I also found the internationalism of communism very attractive. In my Sunday school there had been a picture of Jesus sitting with a black child on his knee, an Indian girl, a Chinese, all the races round about him. I was totally taken by this idea.
I had an internationalist outlook, though I was proud to be a Scot. When I first got to know of the Scottish National Party at 17 or 18, I thought they were nutcases. I wasn't convinced they were the kind of people I wanted to be in charge of us. I can understand why people joined the SNP, considering the way Scotland has been treated by successive governments. But I thought we had the basis for a democratic government here in Britain, where all the English, Welsh and Scots (plus Irish, if they want to be) can be united together.
Fighting against fascism
I joined the Communist Party a few months before I went to Spain in 1937. The war against Franco's fascists was in all the papers, especially the Daily Worker. I went to an Aid Spain meeting addressed by a young man who had been wounded there and had married his nurse. After the meeting I said: 'I'm going to Spain.' I thought it was a wonderful adventure.
I was in the Scots Guards in Germany when we had elections at the end of World War II. There was a provision for servicemen to vote, but two or three of us in the battalion didn't get our papers. There was some investigation, but the election went the way I wanted it to go anyway, the Labour Party won. That was when Major Attlee came to power.
There was a strong feeling for Labour in the Army, certainly in the Scots Guards, 2nd Battalion, where I was. The death of fascism was our principle aim in fighting the war and people voted Labour because they were disgusted with the way the Tory Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had made deals with Hitler and Mussolini. We were also hoping there would be a general improvement in the conditions of the working class, the old and the sick.
Losing faith in communism
At an International Brigade meeting in 1948, my comrade, George Murray, had come out with some statement defending the Yugoslavs. We'd had a telegram from the Yugoslav International Brigaders asking us not to pre-judge the split between Tito and Stalin. After George came home, he was called to the Communist Party headquarters and expelled.
In 1956, the Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary. It happened that a former secretary of the Edinburgh Communist Party was there and witnessed the whole thing. He came back and called a meeting where the whole story came out. I left the party immediately. I was bloody well furious! I felt a large part of what I'd been fighting for in my life was disappearing.
I started to become interested in the environment and what mankind was doing to it. I approved of the Greens' aims, they had a more or less socialist agenda, though I'm aware the Scottish Green Party does have certain nationalist aspirations.
I was very much against Mrs Thatcher. She was (and is) a horrible woman. Unfortunately, one fellow International Brigader, Sir Alfred Sherman, was very taken in by her and became one of her favourites. I remember him from Spain; he spoke Russian fluently and was used as an interpreter. I'm very disappointed that an International Brigader should become a Thatcher supporter.

Registration Opens June 22 at 10am.
2015 Maiwa Textile Symposium
Workshop The Complete Feltmaker
$$325 includes 100 lab fee
November 9, 10, 11, - Class Limit 14
Maiwa East: 1310 Odlum Drive, Vancouver BC
Felt is one of the oldest known forms of manipulated fibre. Felting appears coincidental with animal husbandry and produces a range of items from clothing and toys to sculpture, tents, and even industrial tools. Often an art and tradition of nomadic peoples, felting is making a worldwide resurgence and is gaining recognition.
Today the lines between feltmaking and the other textiles arts are beginning to fade. Felt is being sculptured into three-dimensional forms with multiple layers. It is being pleated and resist-dyed with shibori techniques. Industrial felts are being used to make structural furniture, while gossamer felts are becoming lighter and lighter. The nature of felt, what it is and what it can do, is being continuously challenged.
In this three-day, sample- and project-oriented workshop, students will explore the many aspects of felt. They will learn basic feltmaking techniques by working with a variety of weights and wool fibres. They will work with art felt and three-dimensional felt suitable for hats, boots, and bags or other art objects, and with lightweight and gossamer “nuno” felts. Students will then select a final project to develop one of the felting techniques covered in the workshop.
Rene Evans was born and educated in New Zealand. Rene Corder Evans has always had a love for fine wools, but it was not until she returned to weaving in 1995 that she developed a deep love and appreciation for the art of felt making. In 1996 she was introduced to the Fashion Design Program at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), graduating with a Diploma of Fashion Design in 1999. From 2001 to 2012 Rene was a Textile Instructor within the Fashion Design Program at UFV. She divided her time between creating one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces, teaching weaving at the university level, and her career as a business administrator, enjoying the challenges of all three. In 2012 Rene retired and now she spends time in New Zealand and Canada and is finding more time for textile arts.

First and foremost, congratulations to everyone who ran the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon and Half Marathon, and a VERY big congratulations to Mary and her husband!
Thanks to my recent fun/exciting/fabulous half marathon experience, I am now pumped for the next one…about 8 weeks away.
Now, it’s no secret that I’m a slow runner. I’m by no means ashamed of it, in fact I’m known to embrace my slowness. But now, with another half marathon in my sights, I’m thinking it might be time to (gasp!) set a time goal for myself.
A personal challenge, if you will.
I actually tried a bit of speed work this past week. It definitely was more effort than I am used to, but it made me realize that with the right amount of effort, I can be faster.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking to chop 30minutes off my time or anything. I’m also not one to beat myself up if I’m a little past my goal, or if the entire run itself goes bad.
Either way, it’s a night run and I’ve been promised a great dinner afterward. And it’s in Vegas. I can’t lose!
I’ve decided to do something similar to my training plan for my last half marathon. I”m working on blending together a few different training plans to make one that works with my schedule and ability, while adding in a little speed work to hopefully end up less tortoise and more…snapping turtle?(If you’ve never seen one in action, trust me, for a turtle those suckers can MOVE!)
At the end of the day though, as long as I make it across the finish line, I’ll have met my 2011 goal (2 half marathons…yes, I got a bit of a late start).
So tell me, when training for a run, is there a plan that you swear by or do you just wing it and train by feel?
And am I the only one who is just barely squeaking in a late 2011 running goal? (If everyone says yes that’s totally cool!)


In a major development applicable to users of Sony PS4 and PS3 consoles across the world, the PlayStation Live Event Viewer app would very soon be phased out. This means that purchase from the PlayStation Store would be the only way of enjoying live events. This announcement, potentially marks the end of the PlayStation Live Events Viewer after its debut 4 years ago.
This development could hurt owners of PS3, more than PS4, as Live Events would completely get eliminated from the previous-gen consoles. Only way for PS3 users, to view Live Events, would be via an upgrade to the current-gen PS4 or the next-gen PS4 Pro consoles.
Those with Sony PS4 devices would not be affected as Live Events can be directly availed via the PlayStation Store from January 10, 2017. As of now, the Sony PlayStation Live Events Viewer app would also cease to exist from January 10. Therefore, both PS4 as well as PS3 users are advised to check if they can access the application officially post-midnight on January 10 .
Finally, with the English calendar New Year season having begun, gamers owning Sony PS4 consoles are in for a set bonanza considering the fact that the to-be-released game in 2017 promises a visual treat along with enhanced/newer gameplay options. With this being the criteria, click here to check out a list of 5 games applicable to the PS4, which are worth checking out during 2017.

It’s time to talk about six of the books I’ve read recently! I’ve managed to finish/catch up on two series and read some spooky books for the Halloween season. Let’s get into my reviews!
The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin (The Broken Earth #3)
“But for a society build on exploitation, there is no greater threat than having no one left to oppress.”
Content warnings: violence, references to abuse, child death
In the third and final book of the Broken Earth Trilogy, questions are finally answered, characters are reunited, quests are completed, and hearts (namely, mine) are broken.
My thoughts on this book are pretty similar to my thoughts on the other two, since they essentially form one complete story all together. I was constantly blown away by the intricacy with which N.K. Jemisin crafts worlds and stories, blending the two together and pull in tiny details that you never would expect to be important. Just when you think you know where the story is heading, she throws in a curveball and forces you to reevaluate everything. Not only that, but despite the darkness and desperation built into the foundations of this series, it ends up feeling incredibly hopeful. Watching a character who wants to give up over and over refuse to do so, partly because the people around her won’t let her and partly because she can’t admit defeat, is just beautiful.
Still, I did feel lost for large portions of this book, and I get the feeling it would take me many, many read-throughs to feel like I fully have a grasp on this world. Maybe that’s just what I’ll have to do.
Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray (The Diviners #2)
“We are made by what we are asked to bear.”
Content warnings: racism, homophobia, alcohol abuse
The second book in the Diviners series picks up a few months after the first, when people across New York City start succumbing to a “sleeping sickness” from which they can’t wake. Even though this book follows quite a few characters, it’s mainly about Henry and Ling, two Diviners with the ability to walk in dreams.
In summary: I would die for Henry DuBois III. That’s it, that’s the review.
Just kidding – I have lots more to say about this book. As with the first book, the biggest strength of this is its setting. Libba Bray is able to bring 1927 New York vividly to life, through descriptions, dialect, and every tiny detail. Plus, she includes the incredible diversity of the time period without shying away from the systemic discrimination that marginalized groups faced every day.
This book involves the storylines of several characters, some of which I was much more invested in than others. As previously mentioned, Henry’s was at the top, along with Ling (they are such friendship goals). The rest of the characters were interesting, but I never felt as invested and there were times that their chapters felt unnecessary. And I’m really not a fan of the way the POV constantly shifts in the middle of scenes. This book could have used some trimming, as it comes in at over 600 pages and I found myself practically skimming some parts.
The Library Book by Susan Orlean
“Writing a book, just like building a library, is an act of sheer defiance. It is a declaration that you believe in the persistence of memory.”
This nonfiction book is about the Los Angeles Public Library and the fire that raged through it in 1986. More broadly, though, it’s about all libraries: their history, cultural impact, and current place in society. Part memoir, part history, and part true crime, this book covers a wide array of library-related topics, all framed around the LAPL fire and the search for the arsonist.
I listened to this as an audiobook, which was narrated by the author, and it was fascinating! I’ve always been a lover of libraries and this made me appreciate them even more. I learned tons that I didn’t even know I didn’t know. It’s easy to tell how much research went into each tiny detail, and a love of libraries comes across in every word. It managed to make me emotional about the community-building power of stories and library spaces, and I was even invested in the arson mystery. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves books, and if you’re reading this, I’m guessing you do.
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
“I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn’t that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.”
Content warnings: abuse, sexual assault, body-shaming
Growing up in Harlem with a religious mother, Xiomara feels like her voice isn’t heard. She has questions about the world and her place in it that she doesn’t know how to ask. When she discovers slam poetry, though, she finally has a way to express herself.
This book has been getting ALL of the praise (including a National Book Award!) and I FINALLY understand why! I don’t usually read books in verse, which is why it took me so long to pick this up, but I got the audiobook and ended up listening to it in two days and crying through the ending. Not only is the language itself breathtaking – each word carefully chosen to create the perfect sound and rhythm that is beautiful to listen to – but I can tell that this book is going to mean so much to a lot of young people. This book deals with many important topics, from complex family situations to the misogyny built into religion to body- and slut-shaming. Xiomara’s journey of finding her voice is just stunning. I did feel like the ending wrapped up a little too easily, but other than that, this book was basically perfection.
The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken
“Being different – being simply you instead of what other people wanted you to be – was it’s own kind of bravery.”
Content warnings: spiders
This spooky middle grade book follows Prosper Redding, whose old New England family is full of secrets. One of those secrets is that there is a demon living inside Prosper, passed down from an ancestor who broke a contract. Alastor, the demon, is intent on destroying Prosper’s family, which means Prosper has to figure out how to get rid of him before it’s too late.
I love Alexandra Bracken’s writing, and this book was no exception. I’m so glad that I read this around Halloween, because the spooky vibes were spot on! Prosper himself is a hilarious narrator – constantly snarky and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time – and I couldn’t help but love Alastor’s confusion and exasperation with the modern world. This book wasn’t perfect – the pacing felt wonky at times and there was more info dumping than I would have liked – but it was still fun and spooky, and I look forward to reading the sequel!
Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray (The Diviners #3)
“The colonizer writes the history, winning twice: A theft of land. A theft of witness.”
Content warnings: racism, homophobia, rape, assault, nonconsensual medical procedures
The third Diviners book continues with the mystery of the man in the stovepipe hat, as ghosts appear across the country and the gang of Diviners attempt to figure out what’s going on.
Much like with the second book, I absolutely adore the way Libba Bray is able to create a vivid setting with her language. And I’m still invested in most of the characters (Henry and Ling continue to be highlights, though sadly they weren’t as prominent in this book). I’m also curious with the mystery threading through this entire series, and definitely eager to see how it turns out in the final book. And I appreciate how Libba Bray doesn’t shy away from the less-than-pretty aspects of American history, such as eugenics and racism and religious extremism.
Still, I’m not a fan of the writing style – it often feels too removed and rushed to get fully immersed in a character. And the POV head hopping drives me crazy! Even though this book felt a little more cohesive plot-wise than the second one, there were still parts that felt unnecessary, which I mostly ended up skimming. The large cast of characters means that there are inevitably the ones that I don’t care about. I went from being somewhat annoyed with Jericho to actively disliking him. I’m still going to read the fourth book when it comes out next year, though, because I’m invested now.

text: Ronald Eugene Nollet, 53, and his son, Ronald Nollet Jr., 31, pleaded guilty in San Diego on Tuesday to federal charges of counterfeiting Serostim, a costly human growth hormone used by some HIV-positive people to combat AIDS-related wasting. The pair admitted to ordering 6,000 vials of a similar, much cheaper medication from an Oregon firm that did not include somatropin, the active ingredient used in Serostim. They then labeled the vials to falsely indicate that the product was manufactured by Serono Laboratories, the Massachusetts firm that markets Serostim. Authorities seized several hundred of the 6,000 counterfeit Serostim vials the Nollets ordered in April and intercepted a second batch the men ordered in July. Each of the men faces up to three years in prison when sentenced in January.

BLM says reports of Roan Plateau plan release mistaken
The Bureau of Land Management says media reports that it will release its draft management plan for the Roan Plateau northwest of Rifle next week are mistaken.BLM spokesman Vaughn Whatley blamed a miscommunication between a reporter and the agency for the error.Environmentalists monitoring the BLM’s work involving the Roan Plateau said the error originated with a Reuters report. The Denver Post apparently used the report as the basis for a story early this week saying the plan was about to be released.BLM officials say the plan, which among other things will identify a preferred alternative for gas drilling on the plateau, will be released this fall. They say the media and public will be notified in advance of the release date.Environmentalists say that while the Reuters report might be wrong, they expect the plan to come out soon.”Right now they’re saying the end of November, early December. We do think it’s imminent at this point but it’s hard to tell,” said Pete Kolbenschlag, Western Slope field director for the Colorado Environmental Coalition.Environmentalists and area communities want to see no drilling on the Roan Plateau top, and say it instead should be limited to the surrounding lowlands in the 127,000-acre planning area. They also recently said the BLM is vastly overstating the developable gas reserves for the plateau.But the BLM maintains those reserves are plentiful. In a news release, the agency says, “The preferred alternative currently under consideration will strike a balance between meeting the concerns of the community, local and state government, and special interests while developing needed, available and plentiful natural gas resources in an environmentally responsible manner.”A public comment period will follow release of the draft plan, and those comments will be used in helping formulate a final plan.Garfield County has been working as a cooperating agency with the BLM on the draft plan. County Commissioner John Martin said the plan will lay out five alternatives for managing the Roan Plateau.”We’re going to have to wait to see what the public has to say, take their input, listen to folks,” he said.The release of the draft plan has been much delayed. Some environmentalists, including Kolbenschlag, have speculated that the Bush administration intervened to push back its release until after the election – something the BLM denies.Kolbenschlag said that had the plan been released earlier, Democrats could have turned it into a contentious issue in Colorado during the races for the White House and U.S. House and Senate.”I would think politics has a lot do with the timing of it, which might be cause to worry now,” he said.Bush has targeted the Roan Plateau as a high-priority area for natural gas development, while environmentalists had hoped for more protection of the plateau had John Kerry been elected.Glenwood Springs resident Steve Smith, a staff member for The Wilderness Society, said Bush’s re-election could influence the direction of the final plan for the Roan Plateau, but he thinks the draft plan is too far along to be changed in response to the election outcome, unless its release is delayed significantly.Kolbenschlag said he takes some hope in the election this week of John Salazar as the new congressman for western Colorado. Salazar has said he supports protecting the top of the plateau and respecting the wishes of local residents.”I think Salazar can be a really strong voice for local communities” regarding the plateau, he said.”I think Salazar can be a really strong voice for local communities” regarding the plateau, he said.

A city metamorphoses into a graveyard for once bustling districts and affluent vacationers. The surge of casino closures transpires into thousands of jobs lost creating an atmospheric ghost town. “Atlantic City was built on old gambling money which has only emanated into new drinking money.”(Stephanie 2016). A sustainable and stable economy cannot be built on the theme of transience. The dependence upon tourist fueled economic growth continues to divert funding to improving the “look” of Atlantic City while depriving funding for basic fundamental progress. The concept of tourism encourages gentrification to mask the reality of poverty that affects a large portion of Atlantic City. Overt inequalities do not sell the same as an artfully constructed canvas of distracting outlets and falsified prosperity. Members of the Atlantic City community feel that they lack a secure relationship with the existing government. A demand for a fortitudinous relationship between government and community is at the forefront of concern. The City symbolically hosts events, parades or concerts surrounding holidays that encourage tourism. The scarcity of community events outside of tourist motivation bolsters a deprivation of community interaction. When a space lacks the means for place making, a multifaceted approach to design an environment that addresses and protects ones interests, there is no longer a sense of ownership for those who reside within its boundaries. Weak relationships among the community, as well as between the community and government perpetuates a sense of losing control over ones place. Instead of solely showcasing “hallmark” events the members of the community should use the space and cultural practices as a medium to place make within their space (Jackson and Jones 2014). Redevelopment of Atlantic City will only succeed when the needs of the residents are met with resounding support and understanding from those who control the outcomes. A solution must be drawn up that satisfies governmental and local concerns. A solution that excludes one voice over the other no longer upholds the importance of coexisting among those with different ideas than oneself. Awareness of the importance of a tenacious community connection must be addressed to build a durable place making mechanism. One should harness the desire to place make for themselves while considering those who coexist within the same space.

In May, nCino hosted its annual nSight conference, which drew more than 1,700 financial industry professionals as well as representatives of nCino’s partner financial technology firms. For three days in Charlotte, company officials listened to their guests discuss industry trends, best practices and innovations. Attendees also shared their concerns and what they see as opportunities.
In the weeks since, Will Cameron has thought about what he and his colleagues heard at the conference: what’s on the minds of nCino customers and how the company can respond.
First, the concerns:
“First thing, the market has been pretty tough on financial institutions,” said Cameron, nCino’s senior vice president of community and regional banking. “Their valuations are representative of margin compression concerns about a potential recession, which has led into these financial institutions being valued as they are.
“The good thing,” he continued, “is that more industry leaders are stepping out to change their tune, saying there’s no impending recession; it’s more of an economic slowdown. They expect more of a slow growth phase but still supported by continued growth. That’s at the 30,000-foot level. As you get into the day-to-day, there are concerns about liquidity. The three failures [of regional banks] caused an emotional response within the banking industry, although those failures seemed to be specific to their unique deposits rather than a general [problem] across the industry.”
“People are really leaning in on how to optimize their technology strategy; how they can change the way they interact with their customers for the better,” Cameron said. “It’s a good time to focus, now that we have emerged from the PPP craziness and loan surge. It’s time to focus on transformational technology projects, leaning into the next chapter in their bank’s life cycle.
Speaking of PPP – the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program loans during the COVID pandemic – Cameron sees that period as technologically transformative. To apply for a PPP loan, small business owners who might previously have visited their banker and filled out an application with a pen were forced to navigate an online process.
“The adoption of that remote application process was much higher than anybody anticipated,” Cameron said. “When people are forced to figure things out, they do. Now that [process] has turned into the expected. A perfect example is Live Oak Bank, which gained from its investment in technology. They had the means of accepting online applications and could leverage that in a meaningful way to a bigger audience. They gained customers, which they would not have otherwise.”
The greater familiarity with online lending has “leveled the playing field somewhat,” Cameron said, for small businesspeople in rural and small-town settings, for whom banking traditionally is heavily based on relationships with local financial institutions.
“We see that on a regular basis in conversations we are having with customers,” he continued, explaining that nCino’s customer financial institutions had the ability to take loan applications online pre-pandemic, but many bank and credit union customers just weren’t ready to take that step.
“Now it’s table stakes,” he said. “All that PPP stuff was a catalyst for everyone using the technology.”
So the further challenge becomes developing and using technology to increase efficiencies but also to forge real relationships between the financial institution and customer and enhance the customer’s experience.
“People want the rest of their life to work like [the ease and speed of] ordering online,” Cameron said. “They want to engage in using mobile devices and technology. The biggest need for banks is to stay competitive. Financial institutions have to invest in technology that will keep them at the forefront: a platform that is living and breathing. To not only engage with customers but to have a whole integration of information that informs credit decisions. To have a technology strategy on an ongoing basis to be nimble and adapt to ever-changing customer expectations.”

I was stumbling around on the web and came across this poster design I recently saw in person while attending Weapons of Mass Creation in Cleveland, Ohio last month.
