African clothing is the traditional clothing worn by the peoples of Africa.

African clothing and fashion is a diverse topic that is able to provide a look into different African cultures. Clothing varies from brightly colored textiles, to abstractly embroidered robes, to colorful beaded bracelets and necklaces. Since Africa is such a large and diverse continent, traditional clothing differs throughout each country. For example, many countries in West Africa have a "distinct regional dress styles that are the products of long-standing textile crafts in weaving, dyeing, and printing", but these traditions are still able to coexist with western styles. A large contrast in African fashion is between rural and urban societies. Urban societies typically are exposed more to trade and the changing world, while it takes more time for new western trends to get to rural areas.

By region

In Northeastern Africa, particularly in Egypt, styles of traditional women's clothing have been influenced by Middle Eastern cultures; this can be exemplified by the simply embroidered jelabiya which are similarly worn in Arab states of the Persian Gulf. The djellaba (worn in Northwest Africa) shares similar properties with the boubou, the dashiki, and the Senegalese kaftan. While in Nigeria, women wear head ties.

In Sahelian Africa, the dashiki, Senegalese kaftan, and the grand boubou are worn more prominently, though not exclusively (the Bògòlanfini, for instance, is worn in Mali). The dashiki is highly stylized and is rendered with an ornate V-shaped collar. In contrast the grand boubou is simpler, even more so than the djellaba, though the color designs reach impressive proportions, especially among the Tuareg, who are known for their dyed indigo robes.

In East Africa, the kanzu is the traditional dress worn by Swahili-speaking men.  Women wear the kanga and the gomesi.

In Southern Africa, distinctive shirts are worn, like the long dresses they wear. For instance, South Africa is known for the Madiba shirt, whereas Zimbabwe is known for the safari shirt.

In the Horn of Africa, the attire varies by country.  In Ethiopia, men wear the Ethiopian suit and women wear the habesha kemis. In Somalia, men wear the khamis with a small cap called a koofiyad. The Zuria, is a common traditional dress worn in Eritrea.

Fashion in South Africa

South Africa, with an estimate of more than 57 million people from countless backgrounds, ethnicities and religions, holds in it an immense cultural diversity that is expressed through the vast array of topics ranging from cuisine, music, languages to celebrations. Fashion, connecting closely with one's daily life, also plays a crucial role in the identification of South African's culture and people, merely as it does every elsewhere in the world. Each piece of clothing people choose to put on can be simply because it is in their reach, or used as an expression of style as well as political, religious beliefs and perspective in life. No matter how it was chosen, every single piece of clothing contains a long history in it.

Precolonial
One of the earliest vestiges of South African attire was traced back to around 2000 years ago when Middle Paleolithic population' descendants, the Khoisan, settled in Cape Peninsula in the south-western extremity of the African continent. These people were divided into 2 groups which were the San whose life depended heavily on hunting and gathering, and the Khoikoi who were pastoral herders. Without the contacts with foreigners, garments and cloth were unavailable for them to import. Instead, these early settlers altered available resources such as game and domestic animals' softened skin, and sometimes, plants and ostrich eggshell for attire making. In addition to these sources, the introduction of metal also gave them more choices for fashion. The arrival of the Khoisan people were followed shortly after by groups of Bantu-speaking people, who, through the Bantu expansion, ended up with conflict and occupied the land of the Khoisan people, forcing them into dispersion and absorption into the Bantu-speaking community. The settlement of Bantu-speaking people resulted in the formation of the Kingdom of Mapungubwe, from 900 to 1300 A.D., that flourished with trades from other foregin regions for gold and ivory in the exchange of clothes, glass bead and Chineses porcelain. Bantu-speaking's inhabitants in South Africa also lead to the derivation of nowadays main groups of people in South Africa which are the Nguni speaking people includes four smaller groups (Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, Ndebele). The other groups of people in South Africa are the Sotho-Tswana peoples (Tswana, Pedi, and Sotho), while with the group of people in the north-eastern areas of present-day South Africa who are Venda, Lemba, and Tsonga. All of these groups of people, share the common home of South Africa, have for themselves distinctive languages and culture .

Colonial
Colonization starting from the mid seventeenth century undoubtedly changed South Africa in all aspects, and fashion together all those changes was influenced heavily by the arrival of new materials from Europe as well as the Eurocentric view about the body and clothing, perceiving that South African dressed like necked imposed changes on traditional fashion of these ideginous groups of people. Traditional clothing made with local materials were incorporated with new style and items from Europe. In the early nineteenth century, glass beads and plastic beads from Europe added new materials to the traditional collection of materials that South African indigenous people used to make beadworks. Around the late nineteenth century, Isishweshwe fabric was introduced to South Africa through importation from England and Germany. The cloth was made with indigo dye and later, with synthetic form of indigo dye with a range of colors ranging from blue and red to maroon and brown, associated with decorations from replicated and orderly organized geometric patterns. Isishweshwe slowly blended itself to the fashion world of South African people, appearing on clothing of working-class people, rural women and male soldiers. Though popular, because it was imported from other countries, was not recognized as what is unique for African fashion until 1982 when South African a company, Da Gama Textiles, began producing the cloths that helped to push its status to be considered as South Africa representative type of fabric. With the influence of colonizers, Western fashion came to rule over South Africa with educated class people preferred Edwardian top coats and hats. Working men also went with Western style that boost the demand for these products. Stores in these working areas carried out a wide variety of goods such as boots, coats, tweed jackets, waistcoats, shirts, braces, belts, hats, handkerchiefs, and pocket watches.

Apartheid period
During this era of classifying people by their ethnicities and races, the unique dresses of each South African indigenous community were used as one of the distinction tools. However, besides that, wearing traditional dress also acted as a way for South African coloured people to express their resistance and displeasure with the government ruled by a minority of white people. Traditional clothes were worn by leaders such as Nelson Mandela, who put on a Xhosa traditional garment, in 1962 in his trial for attempting to overthrow the government. The expression of his identity as a true South African person spoke for the aggression in resistance and asking for one's won control of one's country. With traditional dresses were worn as part of expressing one's identity, South African fashion in the apartheid period witnessed the continuing growth of influence from European fashion. The bridge between of pre-apartheid fashion when clothing in South Africa depended heavily on European fashion import and post-apartheid fashion when celebrating one's ethnicity was built by many South African designers who brought a touch of Africa to European style clothing. One noticeable example is Marianne Fassler who incorporated leopard-print with clothing in European style. She took inspiration from South African sources from clothing of indigenous groups of people to artists such as Barbara Tyrrell and Marlene Dumas.

Post-apartheid
After the apartheid period ended in 1994, South African traditional dresses continue to be the way to express pride in one's nation and identity as well as an enormous source of inspiration for famous fashion brands such as Sun Goddess, Stoned Cherrie and Strangelove. Pieces such as head wraps and A-line skirt inspired by Xhosa people from the nineteenth century were brought back on the runway. South African fashion is a coming together of different style, culture and response to social circumstances. It's a hybrid between African people themselves and foreigners they interacted with. For its diversity, no single style of dress is stated as national dress, but rather each group of people has a distinctive way to dress themselves.

Developing fashion industry
As of 2016, there has been a boom in the development shops, clothing boutiques, hotels, as well as major restaurants in Accra, Ghana. As time passed there has been more recognition for the development of art through the creation of fashion in countries such as Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa. While there is a global disconnect between the western world and their interpretation of African fashion through the use of tribal patterns, many designers have risen and made an impact on the high-end fashion industry by putting a twist on their traditional African Garments. New designers are now trying to expand their entrepreneurial footprint and enlighten the world on the versatility of African fashion. More specifically Johannesburg's development in making an impact on the fashion industry has been more intentional. With the help of many designers, Johannesburg has built up a fashion district in the inner city that has made a name for itself globally. While new designers use this location as a stepping stone for their expansion, established fashion houses also play a role in the maturing of the district. Conversion of the established and developing fashion houses has built international respect for South Africa with the Fashion industry, making South Africa's Fashion Week a major destination in the worldwide fashion takeover at the beginning of each spring/summer and fall/winter season. Due to the city's plethora of established black-owned talent, Johannesburg has become one of the major fashion capitals for not only black creatives, but designers of all races.

Western clothing

European influence is commonly found in African fashion as well. For example, Ugandan men have started to wear "full length trousers and long-sleeved shirts". On the other hand, women have started to adapt influences from "19th-century Victorian dress". These styles include: "long sleeves and puffed shoulders, a full skirt, and commonly a colorful bow tied around the waist". This style of dress is called a busuti. Another popular trend is to pair a piece of modern western clothing, such as T-shirts with traditional wraps. Rural communities have also started to incorporate secondhand western clothing into their everyday style. For example, rural Zambian women have started to combine "secondhand clothing with a single two-yard length of chitengi that was used as a wrapper over the dress". With the globalization of western clothing influence from urban to rural areas, it has now become more common to find people wearing a variety of styles of clothes.

Secondhand clothing
There exist non-profit organizations in all western societies that sell used clothes to for-profit companies in Africa. These "white man's clothes" are quite common in some parts of the continent. This used clothing is called Mitumba in some areas and is surrounded by some controversy. Critics point to it as a threat to local clothing manufacturers and complain that it exploits consumers while others like average Nigerian citizen argue that this used clothing provides useful competition for often expensive and low quality local products.

Before charitable organizations started importing used clothes, cheap cotton clothing from Asia was the biggest import of cotton clothing to Africa. Soon, western charitable organizations began to send used clothing to African refugees and the poor. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are one of the top destinations for the import of used clothing. Although used clothing was commonly sent for the lower class communities, it is now commonly found within other social classes in Africa. Secondhand clothing is found in everyday apparel for many people, regardless of their class difference. This is because there was always a variety of clothing and it was a good price. However, typically in Muslim regions, such as North Africa, do not partake in this trade due to religious reasons. Instead, Islamic African men wear a long flowing robe and women wear hijab along with a dress covering all skin.

Although these clothes are often donated by organizations in belief that people in rural and poor areas will be obtaining them first, the people who live in the cities get the clothing first. Since urban areas are full of fast and changing lifestyles, they are able to adapt to the change in cultures, such as change in tradition dress. These foreign clothes often are drastically different than what people are used to in more rural parts of Africa. People may believe that they are being insulted by being given something that they believe to be old, tattered and dirty. Generally, it seems that most countries have adapted to the use of secondhand clothing and have used it to their advantage.

Impacts

The second hand clothing industry has left both positive and negative impacts within African society. An impact that one would commonly not think of is the resale of imported western clothing. South Africa, among other nations, has created legislation of imported or donated goods in order to curb the resale of the donated items. Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Kenya and Malawi had to completely ban the importation/donation of second hand clothes in order to try to control the resale. Another negative impact is that is commonly argued is that the importation of western clothing is leaving a negative impact on local clothing producers. However, the opposite side of the argument believes that the high importation creates new jobs for the people living in the port cities. These jobs include the sorting, washing, re-tailoring and transporting of the clothes to the markets. There is a report that revealed that "50,000 people are employed in jobs relating to secondhand clothing in one market in Kampala, Uganda".

Another impact that could be argued either negatively or positively, is that secondhand clothing has become more common to wear than classic African textiles. In Zambia, where it is known as salaula, secondhand clothing has basically become a new type of traditional clothing to them. Zambian cities are full of used clothing markets, which are extremely successful. Since Zambians have been wearing more western clothes traditional textiles and crafts have seemed to become scarce. While Senegal and Nigeria prefer to "follow long-standing regional style conventions, dressing with pride for purposes of displaying locally produced cloth in "African" styles". It can be argued that Zambia is losing a piece of its culture by wearing only western styles or even that people in Senegal and Nigeria are not open minded enough to try to incorporate western styles into their fashion. These differences in beliefs in used clothing help make African fashion a diverse topic.

In my half hour spent getting to know freshman student, Wyatt Williams, it was clear to me the high level of ambition and excellence he puts forth in everything he pursues. Williams, originally from Wamego, Kansas, is a food science and industry/pre-med student who is highly involved around campus. Though always interested in the medical industry, he was unsure what to do for his undergraduate degree.
His journey began last year when he privately visited the Food Science Institute with his father, Chris Williams, who played a role in the startup of the lab in his time with the Kansas Department of Commerce. After speaking with Dr. Fadi Aramouni, Williams was convinced that food science and industry was exactly what he wanted to do.
An honest and thorough conversation between the two resulted in an offer from Dr. Aramouni for Williams to work in his lab as an assistant.
Since the fall, Williams has worked on numerous projects in Dr. Aramouni's lab alongside a select group of other students: Haley Davis, Samantha Fischer, McKenna Mills and Alex Sevart. Some of his first projects involved assisting in the development of a Korean nut tea and making labels for a small soda company in Missouri. Currently, he is getting ready to help in the development of non-alcoholic versions of popular alcoholic beverages for a different client. Williams delivers many hours of work in the lab and it certainly doesn't go without notice.
Though his weeks are consumed with classes and lab work, Williams still seeks additional time to be involved with other organizations at K-State and in the community. Last semester he aided in the production of the Call Hall Dairy Bar in the student union and worked there as one of the store's first employees. He also tutors students for the ACT through a company in Manhattan called Power Prep and serves as the recruitment and social chair in his fraternity, Alpha Kappa Lambda. He's truly a man devoted to helping others.
The few moments Williams is able to catch a break, he enjoys being outdoors.
Williams has undoubtedly shown his commitment to the development of his education as well as the development of others. The Food Science Institute feels truly honored to have him and is eager to see all that he will accomplish in his upcoming years at K-State.
Nothing seems to hold back these food science students from doing what they love. Graduate students, Yuda Ou, Karthik Sajith Babu and Priyamvada Thorakkattu decided to compete in this year's National Dairy Council (NDC) Competition and have already experienced exciting results. Last week, the group received news that their product proposal had been selected to be in the top six and will be further reviewed in the next step of the competition.
Our K-State food science students' innovative idea was recognized as a potential cutting-edge idea in the snack area.
The next leg of the competition requires each group to submit a full project report on April 2 that will be reviewed by a panel of judges selected by the NDC. Following the report, each group must send enough of their product for 18 servings as well as storage, preparation and serving instructions by April 19 to be reviewed. Finally, the groups will present via webinar on April 25 for final judging. Each group will present and respond to questions of the judges for 15-25 minutes maximum. The top three winners will be announced at the end of the day; however, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placings will not be announced until June 24-27th in Knoxville, TN at the American Dairy Science Association Annual Meeting. The first place winning group will receive $8,000 followed by second place at $5,000 and a third place prize at $3,000.
Luckily for our K-State competitors, two group members have had experience in the NDC competition in the past. Yuda Ou participated in the competition in 2016, and the team was selected to be in the top six finalists. Karthik Sajith Babu participated in the 2017 competition, and their team was placed 2nd in the final. This year the two have teamed with an additional graduate student, Priyamvada Thorakkattu to compete in hopes of taking first place. Dr. Jayendra Amamcharla is the team's advisor.
Congratulations to these K-State food science students. We wish you the best of luck throughout the rest of the competition.
This past December, the Food Science Club took part in a gift exchange called the Festive Foodie Event. This special holiday arrangement was coordinated by Elizabeth Brown, a member at large of the Institute of Food Technologists Student Association (IFTSA) Board of Directors. The event included each chapter of the Institute of Food Technologists Student Association (IFTSA) that wished to participate. Each chapter was given a maximum spending budget for the gift exchange and randomly assigned another food science club to exchange with. At the end, each group was encouraged to document the opening of their gifts with photos and video.
Our K-State Food Science Club was greatly surprised by the contents of their gift exchange. They group received their package from Middle Eastern Technical University in Ankara, Turkey.
"The gift was beyond thoughtful and generous," Christine Rock, president of K-State's Food Science Club noted.
The package included postcards with images of beautiful and notable Turkish sights, a sweet note written by members of the Turkish chapter, and a surplus of fun Turkish snacks and treatswhich included descriptions and explanations of their significance. Notable items included Turkish coffee and Turkish delights -yum!
"We were taken aback by the kindness of our fellow Food Science Club chapter," Christine commented. The club had no idea where their gift was coming from until it arrived here at K-State.
Christine wants to encourage future food science club officers to participate in this event in the years to come. However, the club agreed that they'd wished to see videos or pictures of other chapters opening their gifts. Overall, it was a gift they'd remember forever.
Last week, a group of our food science friends and colleagues took the amazing opportunity to travel to San Francisco, California to visit the Winter Fancy Food Show. This three-day event welcomed 30,000+ industry professionals, tastemakers, and guests to network, learn and of course, eat! Our Kansas State University food science group got to venture through 80,000+ specialty food and beverage vendors, plus an additional 1,400+ exhibitors from around the world.
The Fancy Food Show is operated by the Specialty Food Association (SFA), a membership-based trade association that currently represents 3,500+ businesses that works to "Shape the Future of Food." The SFA members are highly involved in specialty food trade and own and conduct the Summer and Winter Fancy Food Shows.
Nine students from the food science club attended the trip to San Francisco last week: Christine Rock, Karen Magana-Moran, Alicia Walker, Amanda Winegard, Conrad Kabus, Jentry Scherer, Kayla Daniel, Xinwei Xu, Bennett Uhl, and program assistant, Elsa Croft. The students agreed they all absorbed a lot of knowledge at the show and said it was a great event. The event made for a great place to network and build connections for future employment.
They learned so much within the short three days they were there, including how to really taste olive oil. A vendor gave the group a quick taste class while they visited the show. Additionally, the group learned about different types of wines and tasted endless amounts of food and beverage – a very filling experience!
Our food science students spent four hours each day at the show then spent their afternoons as tourists exploring the city. They visited The Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Ghiradelli Square, and The Three Sisters. They dined at Boudin's, Z&Y Restaurant, and La Taqueria, a traditional Mexican joint with amazing burritos. Though their exploration was extensive, one of their favorite memories of all was watching the sea lions play on the pier.
"This trip really opened my eyes to the diversity and importance of food science," Alicia Walker mentioned.
Needless to say, the trip was time and money well spent. Food science students, take advantage of all the opportunities you get while studying in college; the experience will last a lifetime! If you weren't able to attend the Winter Fancy Food Show last week, but still want to go, you can look forward to the upcoming Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City beginning on June 30.
The Food Science Institute Office has a collection of food science textbooks readily available for students to check out for the semester. The program is designed to be a "gift that keeps on giving" in a time when textbooks prices continue to rise. The textbooks are reused by many over several semesters, as opposed to direct one-time scholarship awards. The books can be checked out from day to day or overnight, but obtainment comes on first-come first-served basis.
For last minute assignments and projects, food science students have the opportunity to use the computers and printers in the office at 216 Call Hall without having to make the trek across campus to the library.
Our campus offers plenty of great spots to sit down, unwind and grind. The Food Science Institute welcomes students to use the Fountaine Reading Room Library to study without disturbances. The library houses a collection of textbooks, magazines, journals and more to assist students in their projects and class papers.
Additional great study spots include Hale Library, with various floors for specific study and learning purposes. Hale Library also encloses a Media Development Center created for video editing, 3D printing, producing CDs and DVDs, scanning and editing images, developing webpages, creating audio recordings, and more. Students are free to use the lab during any of its operating hours for academic or personal projects.
The K-State Student Union also has an immensity of resources for student use. Whether hungry, tired, studious or in the mood to socialize, the student union can meet your needs with over eight different places to eat, an overhead projector for movies and news, countless study booths, a bowling and game center in the basement and even an art gallery to browse through during passing periods.
Don't fret if you're falling behind in a class! K-State offers flexible tutoring services to all students no matter the course or content. The Academic Achievement Center provides walk-in or one-on-one scheduled tutoring and even academic coaching in case you are questioning what path you want to take or what subject you want to study.

We're sharing how to use a We R Memory Keeps Foil Quill with your Cricut! In this post you'll find step-by-step photos and instructions from unboxing, to setup, to completing your first Foil Quill project! It's foiling made easy!
If you love crafting and spend as much time on Instagram stories as I do, chances are that you have seen the new We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill. This amazing little tool turns your Cricut (or other cutting machine) into a foiling machine! I have yet to see the Foil Quill in a Canadian craft store, so last weekend I convinced The Hubs that we needed to take a trip "down south" and I hit up the closest Joann store.
The Foil Quill comes in three options, a fine tip, a standard tip, a bold tip and there is also an option of getting all three tips in an "All In One Kit" which also comes with 3 rolls of foil.
My Joann store was out of the All In One Kit so I decided to go middle of the road and picked up a standard tip Foil Quill along with four rolls of foil– Aqua, fuchsia, purple and rose gold. You can find all these plus other colors here.
Something that I didn't get, that I'll probably purchase later is the Foil Quill USB Drives. You can find the full selection of them here. They have designs specifically created to foil perfectly with the Foil Quill from Amy Tangerine, Heidi Swapp, Kelly Creates and Paige Evans as well as a Holidays collection and an icons and words collection. Also available at the store I went to was Foil Quill Placement Tape which I've heard is very similar to washi tape or painters tape. I didn't end up purchasing because I have a a few rolls of washi tape in designs I'm not crazy about that I'm going to use up first.
The thing that I had really wanted to buy, but that was out of stock when I went to my store was these packs of Foil Quill foil sheets. They are 4″ X 6″ in size and come 30 to a pack. I think that they would be perfect for smaller projects. The fact that they are precut is super convenient plus you get to try out a few different colors in three of the packs. You can find the full color range of them here.
Pro-Crafter Tip: If buying Foil Quill Products at your local Joann Stores, make sure you pre-order online and do in-store pickup. Their FAQ says that if you order before 5pm you can pick up the same day in-store. The Foil Quill products fall under the cutting machine umbrella that is excluded from coupons, but they are a few dollars cheaper online than they are in the store. Each item I purchased was $3.00 more in store than it was online so I would have saved $15 if I ordered online and did in-store pickup.
Save money on Foil Quill Products and order online for home shipping or in-store pickup at Joann Stores here.
Bought your Foil Quill? Let's get started! Here's how to use your Foil Quill with your Cricut!
Today I'm going to walk you through how to use a We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill with your Cricut! The Foil Quill comes with attachments for 4 different machines. It works with Cricut, Silhouette, Brother and Sizzix cutting machines. I'm going to walk you through how to use it with the Cricut but if you have another cutting machine I think you'll find these instructions helpful too. The process is pretty similar.
If you purchased the Foil Quill Standard Tip this is what your box will look like (front above, back below).
When you open it you will find an instruction booklet, the foil quill, 4 adaptors (for 4 different types of cutting machine– A is Silhouette, B is Brother, C is Cricut and D is Sizzix) and a metal protective plate.
The first thing you will want to do is to select the adaptor for the type of machine you are using, in our case the C adaptor for the Cricut and slide it on the Foil Quill tool. You'll then screw it on until it is fingertip tight.
Next you will want to pop the pen adaptor out of your Cricut. My pen adaptor has been in my machine since the day I got it and I actually didn't know that it could be taken out. You will want to reach underneath the pen holder and press up firmly but gently.
The adaptor will pop up and you can pull it out.
You can insert your Foil Quill tool. Insert it into the holder and then close the Cricut clamp to lock it in place.
Next you want to plug in your Foil Quill. The cord isn't super long so you'll probably want to have an extension cord pretty close with a USB adaptor plugin or you can plug it into your laptop, or if you have a Cricut Maker you can plug it into the USB adaptor in the machine.
Once it's plugged in a light will appear on your Foil Quill. The Foil Quill comes with a metal protective plate. Insert this under the tip of your Foil Quill and let your Foil Quill heat up for 5 minutes.
While your Foil Quill heats up you can prepare your design and your cutting mat. I decided that my first foiled piece would be an I'd Rather Be Crafting design from Cricut Design Space which is part of the Makers Gonna Make Cartridge. You can find my cut file for this project here (make sure you log into Cricut Design Space before clicking).
Next you want to click on your image so it is selected and click on the linetype box in the top toolbar. Change your linetype from cut to draw.
Everywhere that you see a black line is where your Foil Quill will "draw" leaving behind foil. I always like to change the color of my line to the color that I'll be using for my project just to see what it will look like (you can do this in the little square box next to Linetype). Also this is the time that you'll want to size your design for your project. Next click "Make It" in the green box in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
Select your machine from the drop down menu and then your cutting material.
Lay the material you are foiling on your cutting mat.
Cut your foil to size (I used my Cricut TrueControl Knife and Cutting Ruler for this).
Lay your foil over your project and tape it so that the edges are pulled snuggly over your project (I have now started taping on all 4 sides).
Remove the metal heat plate and load your cutting mat into the machine and watch the Foil Quill work it's magic.
If you are cutting your material using your Cricut, pause your machine after it's done foiling and remove the foil before it starts cutting. If you are not cutting your material, remove your cutting mat from the machine, remove the tape and peel back your foil to reveal your design.
The possibilities with the new We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill with your Cricut are endless! I have already created planner stickers for my Happy Planner and can't wait to think up more ideas of what to foil on to share with you!
I hope that these step by step instructions show you just how easy it is to Foil Quill with your Cricut and that you pick one up of your own! I can't wait to share more foil quilled projects with you and to hear what you all think of We R Memory Keepers cool new tool!
Q: There is a rumour that using the Foil Quill voids your warranty for your cutting machine. Is this true?
A: (This question has been asked on the We R Memory Keepers YouTube channel and this was We R Memory Keepers official response.) If you've had your machine for over a year, your warranty is most likely expired anyway. That being said, we've extensively tested Foil Quill on all the machines it's compatible with and never had any problems. However, if you do encounter any issues, please contact our customer service department and they'll take good care of you: acinfo@americancrafts.com.
I hope you liked this tutorial on How To Use A Foil Quill with your Cricut! Tell me… What's the first thing you'd foil with a We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill? Do you have any questions about the Foil Quill that I can answer for you, or ask We R Memory Keepers to answer for you? Ask them below!

ready to give up. Found your instructions and somehow it worked. My finished project (card) has to be redone – I placed the cardstock on the mat in the wrong place – oh well – but the foiling looks great..
Getting the pen adaptor out was the biggest struggle for me too! I spent a good chunk of time googling trying to figure it out. I'm so glad that you found my site and that it helped! The Foil Quill is a super fun tool. I hope it brings you tons of crafting fun!

Research has demonstrated that people living in areas areas of low socioeconomic status are bitten and attacked by dogs more frequently than people in neighborhoods of greater affluence. This in part prompted a study documenting the frequency of dog bites by stray dogs onto people living in the southern Dallas, Texas. The southern part of Dallas contains some of the most poverty-stricken neighborhoods in the city.
The study was also undertaken as a result of a well-publicized fatal dog attack in southern Dallas by a pack of dogs on a 52 y.o lady in May, 2016. Moreover, according to a August 8, 2016 story in the New York Times, residents in southern Dallas have been complaining about the stray dog problem for years. Some have taken to walking with sticks for protection and people avoid parks.
The study was undertaken in June-July 2016 and results reported in August 2016. One interesting finding was the number of stray dogs in southern Dallas relative to the number of stray dogs in the more affluent northern Dallas. A staggering number of about 8,700 strays were estimated to be roaming the streets in southern Dallas. The study found 135 stray dogs in an area of about 176 linear miles. This contrasts remarkably with just a single stray dog found in northern Dallas. Another remarkable finding was that in northern Dallas 80% of the dog population, compared with only 20% in southern Dallas, was spayed or neutered. Results also showed that the dog bite frequency in Dallas increased 15% per year since 2013.
Similar results have been found in other parts of the United States. For example, in Detroit when the city went bankrupt in 2012, stray dogs began roaming neighborhoods and biting people. In fact, packs of stray dogs exist in all heavily populated urban areas in the United States and throughout the world. And in India the problem is critical: deaths from rabies as a result of dog bites from a stray dogs is not uncommon.
In Dallas, like other cities, there's no easy fix. Mass roundup of stray dogs is not a long-term solution. This is what animal control agencies in India and China have repeatedly attempted but yet the rabies epidemic continues. Instead, will about responsible pet ownership (i.e. not feeding stray dogs; not allowing dogs to roam; strict licensing regulations; compulsory neutering in certain situations) and the need for spaying and neutering is essential. Another solution, hopefully recognized by Dallas city officials, is the urgent need to make available to low income families affordable veterinary care and dog training classes.
As an aside, it is worth noting that stray dogs often form packs. This factor compounds the danger stray dogs present to the public. It is not well understood if these packs represent a permanent group of stray dogs or alternatively companion dogs which leave an owner's home on a temporarily basis to join an already existing pack during the day.


Joel is much more focused on learning and experimenting than he is on expertise. However, he still honors traditions that stand outside his background. "You wanna learn 'enough' of a thing before you put yourself out there," he explains. "There's also a danger in learning too much. I've always felt that." What could be considered a scatterbrained approach to music ends up being one that keeps things fresh and relevant.
Particularly notable about Aether is its focus on texture in place of melody. "I find that melody often functions as a musical equivalent to language, it mimics speech in a certain way that communicates ideas, narratives, and emotion." This sentiment echoes throughout the album's four tracks. Just like Bertucci used the bunker as a studio, Metal Aether uses the studio as a major component of the recording. Beyond the bases of environment and timbre, not much else exists in the albums vacuum. In turn, one could call the album minimalist. Dig your fingers deeper into the meditative spaces, and you'll find almost the opposite to be true.
"I like music where people aren't conscious of the fact that they're mixing things up," Healy explains about his ideals in bending audience expectation. There aren't many young people that are content with sticking to one genre, so it's natural that the relatively young Healy is able to stay grounded in a handful of traditions. If you let him get you on his wavelength, ShoutHouse becomes one of New York's finest interdisciplinary acts.

Caroline Fraser is the author of the new biography Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder, a finalist for the National Book Critic Circle Award. She also has written the books God's Perfect Child and Rewilding the World, and was on the editorial staff of The New Yorker. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Q: What first got you interested in writing a biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder?
A: I first thought about it seriously when I was working on the chronology and notes for the Library of America edition of the Little House books, which I edited. As I was writing those materials, I kept coming across such fascinating stuff in the history she lived through, and it made me want to learn more.
There were all these tantalizing clues in the letters she wrote to her daughter, Rose, about the Dust Bowl and the Depression, about the history of the locust outbreaks and drought on the Great Plains, and even the ways in which her work for the federal government, as secretary/treasurer for the National Farm Loan Association, somehow evolved into her disdain for the New Deal.
The more I learned, the more I felt readers might respond to the historical background of Wilder's life. There was a moment when I was writing a note about the "Minnesota massacre," as Wilder calls it in Little House on the Prairie, when I was reading about the history of the U.S. Dakota War of 1862.
And I just thought, Wow. Why haven't I heard about this? Why haven't we all heard about it? It's one of the most dramatic moments in American history.
Q: How did you research the book, and what do you see as the key differences between her actual life and the life she depicts in her books?
A: I first started doing research on Wilder when I wrote a long article for the New York Review of Books, back in 1994. That was a review of William Holtz's book, The Ghost in the Little House, a biography of Rose Wilder Lane that argued that Lane was the real author of the Little House books.
I was skeptical about that, so I borrowed the microfilm of Wilder's drafts of The Long Winter, among other things, and looked at how involved she was in writing—and editing—of her own work.
To be sure, Lane was indispensable. The books probably would never have been published without her professional connections, as well as the crucial editing she did on every volume.
But we have Wilder's original drafts (or at least the ones that have survived), and they're the foundational texts of the books. She wrote the books. Lane edited and revised. During the course of working on that article, I visited De Smet, South Dakota, for the first time, but I hadn't had the opportunity to see the other home sites.
That article inspired the Library of America to reach out to me years later to edit their new edition of the Little House books, and I was able to continue the process, for instance, visiting the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library to see the Lane and Wilder papers.
When I began working on Prairie Fires, the first thing I did was drive around the country visiting the various sites.
First, I drove to the Little House on the Prairie site near Independence, Kansas, and then on to Mansfield, Missouri, for the first of several visits. On another trip, I drove from Minneapolis to Pepin, Wisconsin, and then to the various home sites in Minnesota, Iowa, and back to De Smet. I also went to Malone, New York, where the Wilder family farm is.
It's so fascinating to see these places in person—Malone, for example, is so far north, only a few miles from the Canadian border—and it really helps to see how landscape influenced the lives of these families. These places are remote and fairly isolated, which would play a critical role in the challenges the families faced.
As for the critical differences between Wilder's life and the books, if I had to narrow it down, I'd say it's how very difficult their lives were. Reading the books as a child, you're aware of this, but you also have a strong sense that everything will work out.
In real life, of course, things didn't always work out. There were accidents, deaths, debts, droughts, failures. The odds were stacked against the small farmer. Charles Ingalls and Almanzo Wilder were so desperately undercapitalized that they really could never succeed, even on a subsistence level.
Q: What did you learn that especially surprised you?
A: I was very surprised to learn about Rose Wilder Lane's early newspaper career and her involvement in yellow journalism.
That, to me, opened up all kinds of fruitful questions about how Wilder and Lane viewed autobiography and memoir as genres that were infinitely malleable. The two of them really didn't see much of a distinction between fiction and nonfiction, in some ways, and that's how the Little House books became an experiment in autobiographical fiction.
We've gotten so comfortable with the books that we've forgotten how unusual it is to write autobiographical novels about your own life in the third person. And in a very unusual twist, Wilder and her daughter would insist that everything in the books was "true," even though they knew it wasn't.
Q: How would you describe the relationship between Laura and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane?
A: Tumultuous, in a word. They were like chalk and cheese, in a lot of ways. Laura was careful, frugal, and anxious about the future, while Rose could be mercurial and headlong and quite a spendthrift.
People in Mansfield described Rose as "Bohemian," a reference to what they may have considered her loose morals—she was very much a "New Woman," autonomous, independent, flying in the face of an older generation's moral code. That had to have grated on her mother, living in a conservative southern rural town.
And yet, despite their differences, the women were almost suffocatingly close in some ways. Today, we would say that they had no boundaries. They were often living in each other's pockets at Rocky Ridge farm, where Lane was heavily involved in her mother's work (and I'm not sure Wilder could ever have prevented that, even if she wanted to).
Their financial lives were completely entwined. Their political beliefs evolved in tandem with their dismay over the New Deal and loathing for the Roosevelts and Harry Truman.
Ultimately, I think they loved each other but at the same time couldn't stand each other, something that reflects the complexities of many mother/daughter relationships.
Q: What do you think accounts for the ongoing fascination with the Little House books, and what do you see as Laura Ingalls Wilder's legacy today?
A: Wilder has come to embody our pioneer experience. Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett were once male icons of that chapter of American life, but through the Little House books, I think Wilder has become our quintessential image of frontier settlement.
And that's an interesting legacy, because the image promoted by the Little House books suggests that homesteading was a success, when of course the reality was far more complicated.
And her legacy keeps evolving—first there was the television show in the 1970s and '80s, with its own distortions. And we're continuing to have important discussions about racism in the books, about the portrayal of Native Americans, about the domestic role of women.
I think what we're left with is the fact that books have been endlessly influential and they're still inspiring us to reexamine our own history.
A: I'm doing a lot of talking about Laura: In December, I did some bookstore appearances and a lot of radio interviews (with more over the coming weeks). And I'm looking forward to giving talks at upcoming conferences and book festivals this year. I have some ideas for another book, but it's going to take a lot more work before I know about that.
A: We're in the process of working on materials for book groups, so look for those coming soon on the Macmillan website. I'm also getting ready to post research photos and other stuff at https://prairiefiresbook.com/ So if you're interested in seeing more pictures of the landscapes and people described in the book, please check it out.

Those are striking words: a true political fact, pithily expressed.
Much more striking is that they were spoken in 1981, half a lifetime ago. The speaker was then-Senator Alan Simpson, in his capacity as co-chair of a joint House and Senate committee holding hearings on reform of the immigration laws.
Senator Simpson's observation would of course be just as pertinent today. There you see one of the more dismal, more depressing aspects of arguing for patriotic immigration reform: the fog of stasis that hangs over the whole topic. 1981, 1991, 2001, 2011, … It's like Groundhog Day.
We state the same plain facts and advance the same reasonable arguments; Open-Borders proponents respond with the same threadbare charges—cruel! mean-spirited! racist!—and nothing changes, nothing changes.
I tell you: agitating for patriotic immigration reform is a real test of stamina.
I lifted Senator Simpson's words from page 196 of Byron Roth's book Perils of Diversity: Immigration and Human Nature. This is a new edition, published by us, VDARE.com Books. It is an updated and abridged version of Prof. Roth's 2011 book with a slightly different title: same as this one but with a starting "The …" Steve Sailer reviewed that original edition for us here on February 13th, 2011.
Comparing the two editions, the first thing you notice is the abridgment. The 2011 version had 514 pages of main text, including (by Steve's count) 993 footnotes at the ends of chapters. This new edition is 344 pages with 777 footnotes, all gathered together at the end of the book—a much more convenient arrangement. Because of format differences (e.g. smaller font), that slightly overstates the degree of abridgment; but this is certainly a handier edition, more concentrated on the United States. The 76 pages on post-WW2 immigration into Europe in the 2011 edition, for example, has been trimmed down to a single chapter of 24 pages.
The updating brings us right into the Trump era, with references to the President's Executive Orders on immigration from some majority-Muslim nations. Recent research results in the human sciences have been included, too: the Denisovans now get a mention in the section on paleoanthropology.
An important contention of this book is that large-scale immigration is bound to have consequences for a nation, not all of which are easily foreseeable.
We can, though, get a clue about those consequences by going to the human sciences. What do they tell us about the likely result of importing great numbers of persons from nation (or race, or culture, or religion) X into nation Y?
Some of the science here is perforce speculative; but the speculation is well-reasoned, supported by much evidence, and on a plane of sophistication far above the silly vaporings of the "no such thing as race" ideologues and the cheery assurances of economists that human beings are perfectly fungible units of production and consumption.
In market economies, per capita GDP is directly proportional to the population fraction with verbal IQ equal to or greater than 106.
This survey of the relevant human sciences is followed by a good historical account—six whole chapters—of U.S. immigration policy from the early colonial settlements through to the present day, with that supplementary chapter on post-WW2 immigration into Europe.
The second tier of the immigration bureaucracy involved immigration from the Americas, which was administered separately from European immigration by the Immigration Bureau and the Labor Department. This was largely the result of Southern and Western interests who benefited from inexpensive Mexican farm labor.
In January 2009 in the midst of the recession, the Department of Labor revised its definition of a labor shortage to merely require an employer to attest, rather than document, that qualified U.S. workers could not be found within his employment area. But that employment area was often ludicrously limited to, say, a small town. Of course, it might be difficult for Aspen Skiing Company to find sufficient ski instructors in the village of Aspen, but would it be difficult if the search were nationwide? If they can house a ski instructor from Romania, can they not house one from Denver?
The book's account of these recent developments reinforces one's impression that our immigration policy in recent years has been, from top to bottom, a cheap-labor racket—an open conspiracy against American working people.
"Men more frequently require to be reminded than informed," said Dr. Johnson. For a reader like me, who has been engaged with the National Question for nigh on twenty years, the chief value of Prof. Roth's book is to remind me of things—of, for example, how appallingly awful, how shamelessly hostile to American working people, was the 2013 "Gang of Eight" bill.
The greater value of Perils of Diversity, though, is as an eye-opener to people less familiar, or not familiar at all, with the issues we discuss here at VDARE.com.
If all you know about the National Question is the blithe vacuities of TV talking heads and newspaper pundits bought and sold by the cheap-labor racketeers, Prof. Roth's book is essential reading: a comprehensive, well-documented survey of all the issues.
Should you know anyone as innocent as that, but open-minded and keen to be informed, Perils of Diversity would make a great Christmas present.

Q: How to add node to monitor in munin using Python script? I am not getting the exact solution for adding node in munin.conf using python script. i tries using ConfigParser but since munin.conf is a sectionless file its not feasible to use that module. Can anyoune suggest me the possible solution?

A: Adding a host or node in munin with python script can be done via using python's config parser module. Below is the solution for it :-
def addhost(self, host):
    cfile = '/etc/munin/munin.conf'
    hostname = host['host_name']
    address = host['address']
    # use_node_name = host['use_node_name']
    with open(cfile, "r+") as f:
        s = f.read()
        f.seek(0)
        f.write("[default]\n" + s)
        config.readfp(f)
        # config.add_section(hostname)
        # config.set(hostname, 'address '+ address )
        # config.set(hostname, 'use_node_name yes')

        #config.write(fout)
    with open(cfile,"w") as fout:
        print config.sections()
        #config.readfp(fout)
        config.add_section(hostname)
        config.set(hostname, 'address ' + address)
        config.set(hostname, 'use_node_name yes')
        config.write(fout)
    for line in fileinput.input(cfile, inplace=1):
        line = line.strip()
        if not '[default]' in line:
            print line

here, for using config parser we need to do some changes in munin.conf. firstly you need to write a default section into file at top,second write the data which you wish to write, third deletethat section. Inthis way you can add a node to monitor in munin via python.

Agfa-Gevaert comments on its achievements in 2018 - regulated information
March 13, 2019 02:45 ET | Source: Agfa-Gevaert Agfa-Gevaert
Mortsel, BELGIUM
Major steps in the Agfa-Gevaert Group's transformation process
Internal split-up into Agfa HealthCare and Agfa within the Agfa-Gevaert Group
New, simplified divisional structure
Strategic alliance in the offset industry
Refocus on core businesses
Reorganization of hardcopy distribution channels in China
Further pension de-risking
Strong volume growth in HealthCare Information Solutions, Direct Radiography and a number of businesses of Agfa Specialty Products
Top line decline of 3.2% excluding currency effects and portfolio rationalizations
Recurring EBITDA at 8% of revenue, in line with guidance
Net loss and increase in net financial debt largely due to transformation investments
Mortsel (Belgium), March 13, 2019 - Agfa-Gevaert today commented on its achievements in 2018.
"In 2018, we have taken major steps to transform our Group, resulting in the separation of the HealthCare IT business (renamed Agfa HealthCare) from the rest of the activities (renamed Agfa). The new Agfa HealthCare now has the means and the independence it needs to be a leader in its markets and to further build its already strong IT portfolio. Furthermore, the impact of the steps we have taken to drive the consolidation of the offset industry, should not be underestimated. The alliance with Lucky and the acquisition of Ipagsa have far-reaching consequences for our activities, and even for the offset industry as a whole. We are now looking into various options to strengthen the other activities of Agfa. It is our goal to secure the future of both Agfa HealthCare and Agfa, giving them the power and the means to pursue profitable growth," said Christian Reinaudo, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.
Split-up into Agfa HealthCare and Agfa within the Agfa-Gevaert Group
The internal technical split-up of the Group in two parts was successfully concluded. January 1, 2019, two new entities emerged within the Agfa-Gevaert Group: Agfa HealthCare and Agfa. The new Agfa HealthCare groups all IT related activities of the former Agfa HealthCare business group. The new Agfa includes the activities of the former Agfa Graphics and Agfa Specialty Products business groups, as well as the Imaging activities of the former Agfa HealthCare business group. This split-up gives both entities the independence to seek partnerships and to take the necessary strategic steps to pursue future profitable growth.
The activities of the newly created Agfa have been regrouped into three divisions: Offset Solutions (the prepress business of the former Agfa Graphics business group), Digital Print & Chemicals (the inkjet business of the former Agfa Graphics business group and the activities of the former Agfa Specialty Products business group) and Radiology Solutions (the imaging activities of the former Agfa HealthCare business group). This simplified divisional structure is technology and solutions based and will allow Agfa to seek future partnerships. As from the first quarter of 2019, the Agfa-Gevaert Group's financial reporting will be based on this new Group structure.
Several major steps have been taken to realize the Agfa-Gevaert Group's ambition to drive the consolidation of the offset industry. Firstly, Agfa entered into an important strategic prepress alliance with the Chinese company Lucky HuaGuang Graphics Co. Ltd. This alliance should allow both companies to realize growth through the optimization of their respective strengths in the fields of manufacturing, technology and distribution of graphic prepress products and services. It is an important step in the further development of Agfa's strategy to offer its offset customers more choice and to strengthen its global presence in this market segment in a profitable way. Secondly, the prepress business of the Spanish printing plate supplier Ipagsa Industrial S.L. was acquired. It is expected that in 2019, this acquisition will already contribute to Agfa's top line with a strong EBITDA percentage. Thirdly, the closure of the printing plate factory in Branchburg, New Jersey (USA) was a further step in the strategic plan to optimize the global production capacity and supply chain for printing plates.
Major decisions have been taken to streamline the portfolios of the two entities. The discontinuation of certain less profitable activities will allow them to strengthen the focus on their core businesses. Among other things, in the field of offset, it was decided to discontinue certain prepress-related reseller activities in the United States. In the field of healthcare IT, it was decided to refocus the Imaging IT Solutions business on core geographies, leaving certain less important countries where the margins for this business were not sustainable.
The Agfa-Gevaert Group finalized the reorganization of the hardcopy distribution channels in China, eliminating several steps in the supply chain. Initially, the reorganization had a considerable impact on this business' top line, but the effects have started to fade over the past few quarters.
The Agfa-Gevaert Group took several measures to reduce the risks related to pension liabilities. The Group has put in place a two-year program consisting of several pension de-risking initiatives in the US and the UK.
After a strategic options review, the Board of Directors of the Agfa-Gevaert Group has decided to further extend the independence of Agfa HealthCare. In this respect, the Board will be appointing J.P. Morgan as financial advisor. Further details on scope and timing will be communicated in due course.
In the field of offset, the alliance with Lucky HuaGuang Graphics Co. Ltd. will be extended, as both companies will explore additional options to intensify their collaboration in R&D, manufacturing and distribution.
Strategic steps similar to the ones taken in the offset business, will be examined for the other businesses of Agfa.
Projects will be launched to further streamline the various businesses of the Agfa-Gevaert Group, aiming at reducing operational costs and improving profitability.
"Overall, our 2018 results are in line with our guidance. The top line was influenced by measures to streamline our product portfolios. Furthermore, we have invested heavily in the future of our Group. If we would exclude the investments related to the transformation process, we would have posted a positive net result, said Christian Reinaudo, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group. "This is the last time that we will comment on the results of the former Agfa Graphics, Agfa HealthCare and Agfa Specialty Products business groups. As from next quarter, our financial reporting will be based on our new Group structure."
Agfa-Gevaert Group - full year 2018
in million Euro 2017 2018 % change
(excl. FX effects)
Revenue 2,443 2,247 -8.0% (-5.3%)
Gross profit (*) 814 722 -11.3%

(*) before restructuring and non-recurring items
The Agfa-Gevaert Group's full year top line evolution was strongly impacted by the discontinuation of certain prepress-related reseller activities in the United States and by currency effects. Excluding these elements, the Group's revenue decline amounted to 3.2%. Several growth engines - including Agfa HealthCare's HealthCare Information Solutions and Direct Radiography systems, as well as several activities of Agfa Specialty Products - posted top line growth.
Mainly due to adverse product/mix effects and high aluminum costs, the Group's gross profit margin decreased to 32.1% of revenue.
Selling and General Administration expenses decreased from 496 million Euro in 2017 to 476 million Euro (21.2% of revenue).
R&D expenses amounted to 141 million Euro, or 6.3% of revenue. The Group continues to invest in innovation to remain or become the technology leader in its key markets.
Recurring EBITDA reached 8.0% of revenue, versus 9.1% in 2017. Recurring EBIT reached 5.5% of revenue.
Mainly due to investments related to the transformation of the Agfa-Gevaert Group, including the closure of the printing plate factory in Branchburg (USA), restructuring and non-recurring items resulted in an expense of 66 million Euro, versus an expense of 31 million Euro in the previous year.
The net finance costs remained stable at 39 million Euro.
Income tax expenses amounted to 34 million Euro, versus 53 million Euro in 2017.
As a result of the elements mentioned above, the Agfa-Gevaert Group posted a net loss of 15 million Euro. Excluding the investments related to the transformation process, the net result would have been positive.
Financial position and cash flow
At the end of 2018, total assets were 2,367 million Euro, compared to 2,233 million Euro at the end of 2017.
Trade working capital moved from 644 million Euro (26% of sales) at the end of 2017 to 653 million Euro (29% of sales) at the end of 2018.
Net financial debt amounted to 144 million Euro, versus 18 million Euro at the end of 2017. The increase is largely due to the investments related to the transformation of the company and to the closure of the printing plate factory in Branchburg.
Net cash from operating activities amounted to minus 44 million Euro.

The truly British Alldays Onions brand eventually rejected the classic logo, which was confined in a perfect circle. The new Alldays Onions logo is a 3D three-color emblem consisting of the name's first letters. In turn, the acronym is used as a basis for descriptive notes – the brand's complete name and a feeling of pride for the city (London) and even a district (Birmingham). The brand has been around for centuries, and that is a good reason to be that proud.

Screening: Village at the End of the World + Q&A
Screening Monday 29 April 2013, 7:00 PM
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Sarah Gavron
The village of Niaqornat is nestled in a bay in Northern Greenland, one of the remotest spots on earth. With under 60 inhabitants, dogs outnumber humans by almost two to one.
Village at the End of the World illustrates life in Niagornat through intimate portraits of different villagers: the only teenager in the village; the mayor/chief hunter; the oldest female; and a mainland Inuit who moved to the village after meeting his indigenous partner on the web.
The closure of a small fish processing factory in Niaqornat results in the loss of the village's main source of income. Talks on turning the company into a co-op get under way but some – particularly the young – are forced to leave and look for jobs elsewhere. The village's future starts to appear uncertain when the central government announces these remote communities are not sustainable.
Directed by Sarah Gavron and David Katznelson
Duration: 76′
This screening is in partnership with Dogwoof

Specialists at Fidler & Pepper Lawyers have launched a new initiative aimed at giving people peace of mind should they stop being able to make decisions for themselves.
The initiative sees Fidler & Pepper, which has offices in Mansfield and Sutton, offer to arrange Lasting Powers of Attorney for £199 (plus VAT) per person, throughout March.
There are two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney, covering financial decisions or health and care. Having these in place mean important and personal decisions are made by trusted people chosen to do so.
Richard Howard, Fidler & Pepper head of private client, said: "It can be too late to get a power of attorney in place, but it can never be too soon. Having a POA in place can reduce further heartache and give people peace of mind that wishes will be taken by family or friends.
"And it can mean that decisions are made that are not what family members or the person concerned might want.
For more about wills, and power of attorney, visit www.fidler.co.uk or call 01623 451111.

Stop, look, and listen. Then smell????
On my way to Lowes yesterday my chop konks out. Start it back up and I'm back in business. Leave Lowes and again no worky. I was thinking vapor lock. Stop the bike, look around and I smell something. That bad "my wiring is funky" smell that could only be melting plastic. The posts on the rear in-line brake switch had started to rub against the frame.
I go back inside and come out with some zip ties. Made it home and there was another smell. My backpack containing a gallon of paint, a paint roller, and a paint tray had heated up on the way home. Heavy backpack and crazy exhaust do not coexist.
why didnt you just take the Duc?
Dont put anything flamable back there. I feel an afterburner is not necessary on that bike.
Actually, I feel a "Gula's patented back hair removal system" market campaign coming on with this idea.

By Jamison Hensley
A day after a 23-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game, the Ravens gathered for their final meeting, at which coach John Harbaugh applauded his players for coming together as a team and owner Steve Bisciotti thanked them for overcoming injuries.
Now comes the hard part - the encore.
With a rookie head coach and quarterback, the Ravens surpassed expectations - even some of their own, center Jason Brown said - and put together one of the most surprising seasons in team history.
As the players cleaned out their lockers yesterday, they understood the challenges that await them when they return.
How will this team deal with the heightened expectations? How will the defense perform without coordinator Rex Ryan (who accepted the New York Jets' head coaching job)? And how will the Ravens build a stronger supporting cast for quarterback Joe Flacco?
"That's going to be the bottom line for next year: We have to build off of this and we have to improve," tight end Todd Heap said. "We've got to beat able to beat Pittsburgh. That's a team that has been building for a while and we're in that mold. But we had a lot of guys step up this year so we got a great starting point."
The Ravens will have some pressing issues to address. They have five starters who are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents (linebackers Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Bart Scott; center Jason Brown; and safety Jim Leonhard).
But Brown said "the heart of the team" would remain intact.
Here are 10 biggest questions facing the Ravens:
1. Who will be the next defensive coordinator?
To keep continuity with the No. 2 defense, the Ravens are looking to promote from within. The top candidates are special assistant Vic Fangio, linebackers coach Greg Mattison, a strong candidate because of his ties with Harbaugh and Harbaugh's father, and secondary coach Chuck Pagano.
Some players hinted that it could be Fangio, who has been a defensive coordinator for three NFL teams.
2. What do the Ravens do with their free-agent linebackers?
The Ravens have decent salary cap room, but it's going to be difficult to keep Lewis, Suggs and Scott - all of whom are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March.
The best bet is the team retaining Lewis and Suggs, signing one to a multiyear contract and using the franchise tag on the other. But tagging Lewis would be risky because the 10-time Pro Bowl linebacker has his sights on becoming a free agent for the first time in his career.
Scott appears to be the odd man out at this point. The Ravens, though, were able to re-sign Jamie Sharper in 2001 and Adalius Thomas in 2004 when it was considered a long shot to do so.
3. How do the Ravens improve their receivers for Flacco?
The free-agent class looks grim. T.J. Houshmandzadeh is the best available, but he isn't the big deep threat that the Ravens are coveting. There's a major dropoff from there with the likes of Bobby Engram, Devery Henderson and Shaun McDonald.
If there are no surprising cap cuts, the only way the Ravens can add an experienced and productive receiver is through a trade. Arizona's Anquan Boldin has not hidden his displeasure, arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley in the fourth quarter of Sunday's NFC championship game. Boldin, who is signed through 2010, wants a new contract.
And drafting No. 27 in the first round, it's unlikely the Ravens will come way with a rookie receiver who will make an immediate impact.
4. Who's under contract but won't be here next season?
There's only one starter who is expected to get cut - cornerback Chris McAlister. After his benching (and subsequent move to injured reserve), McAlister has not been seen in the locker room or at games. It's a divorce that would be welcomed by both sides.
Releasing McAlister would free up $8 million in cap space. The Ravens could save more by cutting others - cornerback Samari Rolle (would create $4.1 million in cap room), offensive lineman Willie Anderson ($2.9 million) or Heap ($1 million) - but all of them currently figure into the team's plans in 2009.
5. Who will start at strong safety: Jim Leonhard or Dawan Landry?
If the Ravens can re-sign Leonhard (he is a free agent), he has to remain the starter. While Landry is more of a hard hitter, Leonhard has proven to be more of a playmaker.
6. Is Willis McGahee in the team's plans for next season?
The Ravens showed they have not given up on McGahee when they handed him the ball 20 times in the AFC championship game. McGahee didn't endear himself to the new coaching staff with his work ethic, but the team is financially committed to him. If the Ravens released him, McGahee would still count $11 million against the cap. That means McGahee will be in the Ravens' backfield in 2009.
7. What's the next step for Flacco?
He has to put the team on his back when the running game isn't producing. The Ravens went 2-4 when they were held under 115 yards rushing as a team. In those games, Flacco struggled as well, throwing four touchdowns and eight interceptions.
8. Who are the biggest injury concerns?
Landry, who suffered a spinal cord concussion in September, has yet to be cleared for contact. Right guard Marshal Yanda has made solid progress since undergoing major knee surgery but he probably won't be ready to practice until training camp. Nose tackle Kelly Gregg had micro-fracture surgery on his left knee and likely won't be cleared to return until offseason workouts in May or June.
9. Who is the Ravens' kicker next season?
Matt Stover has been the only field-goal kicker in the Ravens' 13-year existence, but it's not a sure thing that he returns. He said that he had a positive conversation with the coaching staff and it appears that the Ravens want him back. Still, Harbaugh, a long-time special teams coach, might want to place his own stamp at that position.
10. If George Kokinis is hired as the Cleveland Browns' general manager, who becomes the Ravens' director of pro personnel?
Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome trusts James "Shack" Harris, the former director of pro personnel for the Ravens who recently resigned from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Ravens, though, have history of promoting from within. That's why assistant director Vince Newsome (no relation to Ozzie) is the favorite to move into Kokinis' spot.

Two days feels like two weeks when you are counting your life in high-heel time. Let me explain high-heel time. High-heel time moves like regular time if you're seated. If you're walking, it feels double as long as normal time. And during those moments spent shuffling oh-so-slowly down the bleachers and towards the door—leaving a fashion show is very similar to leaving a small concert—high-heel time means that 15 minutes is the equivalent of an hour. Roughly. Okay! This is the last time I'm going to complain about my feet on this blog. Maybe.
A little belated, but here's a roundup of what I saw on Sunday (will follow with yesterday's round-up, which included a fantastic Marc Jacobs show, later today). If it's a little celeb-heavy, hey, this is New York! It's sort of about that as much as the clothes.
LELA ROSE (carried at Neapolitan)
This was my first show on Sunday at 10 a.m. The Texan native does design pretty clothes: lots of color and a bit of an African influence (as far as conservative clothes for luncheon ladies can be "tribal inspired"). But I was loving the hair! All of the models had a fun low bun with a braid running down into it. This would be very easy to do at home.
In celebration of DKNY's 20th anniversary, editors received bottles of champagne. The clothes were actually very cool—sporty and street. Lots of short skirts and drawstring anoraks. Winona Ryder was seated next to Christina Ricci and Nicole Richie. My favorite moment was watching Winona Ryder bounce a bit when My Sharona was sampled in.
By far my favorite show of the day, Preen (carried at Hejfina) ran a soundtrack of sort of ominous, Last Year at Marienbad-like organ music as editors and buyers took their seats. Music does a lot to set the mood of the show. The clothes had zips, and some were quite body-conscious and sexy. No big celebs like Ricci and Ryder here, but lots of the kind of cool girl that Nylon magazine might feature: Peaches Geldof, Cory Kennedy (in cute, lace-patterned tights). Socialites, too, like Genevieve Jones.
What was Anderson Cooper doing at the DVF show? I'm curious. Will there be a newsy CNN exposé on fashion week, or is he just a friend of Diane? He didn't seem to be working. I would love to hear his take on things. Also there: Uma Thurman, JLo, Eva Mendez. The flashing bulbs for Eva, my gosh. We were going blind all the way back in row six!
I stood next to Tim Gunn on the way into the show. He was all by his lonesome, waiting patiently in line to check in like everyone else. He was exceedingly nice and respectful and had a punchline for everyone who approached him! Delivered in his trademark, droll Gunnian way, I heard this exchange with a nice little southern lady who had somehow managed to sneak past security:
Lady: Excited about the Diane Von Furstenberg show, Tim?
Tim: I sure am. It's my first time in the tents. Big day for me.
At this up-and-coming English designer's show, I spotted Ikram and her husband, Ikram in a "Vote Barack" shirt. The clothes got excellent reviews. He uses color in a very interesting way.

It is unclear whether Burroughs was baptized into the church. According to a 12 March 1831 letter from an unidentified group of Palmyra citizens, Burroughs had previously been one of the principal "men of property" among the Mormons but by that time had "refused" to "obey Jo any longer." Burroughs's wife, however, seems to have joined the church and continued as a member.
