Struggling to find your fitness motivation? Getting motivated to work out regularly requires using your mind to stay focused — and as a busy woman, that's not always easy!
But to reap the numerous health and wellness benefits exercise offers, maintaining long-term fitness motivation is a must.
By staying motivated for workouts, you may even grow to love exercise and look forward to each and every sweat session.
Plus, when you get into the groove of exercising regularly, you'll also:
- Maximize your health and wellness
- Reduce chronic disease risks
- Look and feel your best
- Stay happy
- Show off a healthy weight and body you're proud of
Remember, if you're feeling tired, it's OK to take a day off to rest or do a lighter workout.
Don't be afraid to reach out for help when you simply can't get or stay motivated on your own.
Use the tips and tricks below to help find your fitness motivation and change your mindset and your life!
It can be difficult to find the commitment and motivation to work out. We'll teach you how to find your why-power!
10 Ways To Find Your Fitness Motivation
1. Stay Fit for Your Family
You might not be surprised to hear that overweight parents are more likely to have overweight children, say researchers who conducted a study in the Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology.
Unfortunately, 1 in 3 kids in the U.S. is classified as overweight or obese.
In comparison, fit parents are more likely than overweight parents to have fit kids.
Why is this the case?
The study published in the Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology says one reason is because of a shared family environment.
For example, keeping and preparing unhealthy foods in the house makes it harder for children to obtain the nutritious foods needed to maintain healthy weights and lower chronic disease risks.
Fit parents who live active lifestyles often provide opportunities for their kids to become or stay active.
Kids like to tag along with parents who:
- Go on walks or bike rides
- Run in races
- Go hiking
- Do yard work
- Play sports
Parents who prioritize health and fitness are more likely to encourage kids to play sports, and practice sports fundamentals (shoot hoops or practice softball or baseball, for example) with their kids.
So when you're not feeling motivated to work out or stay active, think about all of the ways your kids benefit from being in an active family.
2. Exercise for Self Confidence
Staying active makes it easier to maintain healthy body weight, which can do wonders for your self-confidence.
The next time you're thinking about skipping workouts, picture yourself with the fit and trim body you deserve.
Having the body you've always wanted might be more important to you than relaxing, watching television, or eating junk food.
Confidence can help improve your marriage and other relationships, increase success at work, and boost happiness.
Being confident sets one of the best examples for your children, increasing the likelihood that they too will have high self-esteem now and in the future.
To reap the health and wellness benefits of exercise, aim to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity in daily.
To maximize health benefits even more and enhance weight loss if you're overweight, Mayo Clinic suggests completing at least 300 minutes of exercise each week.
3. Learn About The Benefits Of Exercise
Learning about the numerous health and wellness benefits regular exercise offers is excellent fitness motivation for women of all ages.
Below are a few of the ways regular exercise improves the quality of your life!
Better Sleep Quality
Regular exercise helps you get a better night's sleep, which improves the overall quality of life in all areas.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests women get about 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night to maximize health, reduce disease risks, and maintain healthy body weight.
One study published in Advances in Preventive Medicine found that regular exercise is associated with better quality of sleep and longer sleep duration, regardless of the type and intensity of exercise.
Getting too little sleep is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and even depression, says the CDC.
Better sleep, reduced disease risks, and improved energy are reasons you might think twice about skipping your next workout.
Improved Concentration and Memory
If you're having difficulty concentrating at work or school, or simply have trouble remembering important day-to-day tasks, regular exercise is a way to boost brain health.
Harvard Health Publishing says research shows that regular aerobic exercise (such as walking, jogging, biking, swimming, etc.) seems to increase the size of parts of your brain responsible for learning and memory.
Researchers found that exercise stimulates chemicals in the brain that improve the survival of brain cells, and also promotes new blood vessel growth within the brain.
Regular exercise appears to help protect against developing Alzheimer's disease, say researchers who conducted a study published in BioMed Research International.
This news comes at a promising time, as Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in U.S. adults, says the CDC.
Reduced Depression and Anxiety
Getting out of bed in the morning can be daunting if you're regularly feeling down in the dumps.
While depression makes your motivation to exercise diminish, skipping workouts increases your risk of becoming depressed.
Exercise is linked to fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety and helps prevent unpleasant mental health conditions from returning.
Mayo Clinic and Stanford University say getting just 30 minutes of exercise in three to five days weekly helps improve your mood by:
- Releasing feel-good endorphins that enhance a sense of well-being
- Taking your mind off of worrisome thoughts and behaviors
- Allowing you to spend more time outdoors
So the next time you're feeling blue, exercise might be the motivation you need to feel better without the need for medication or seeing a therapist.
Make sure you find exercises you enjoy. If regular workouts don't ease sadness for you, check in with a doctor to get the help you need.
A Longer Life Expectancy
Because exercise reduces your risk for certain chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer's disease, for example), your life expectancy goes up when you make regular exercise part of your day.
One study published in the Journal of Aging Research found that regular exercise may boost life expectancy by up to 7 years.
So the next time you're having trouble staying motivated to exercise, think about living a longer, higher quality of life for yourself and your loved ones.
4. Make Exercise a Fun Social Experience
Working out gives many women extra opportunities to socialize with friends, family, acquaintances, or new people they'd like to know better.
For stay-at-home moms, adult interaction helps maximize psychological health and well-being.
Whether you work out with friends, at a gym or Pilates studio, or attend group fitness classes, socializing is one of the keys to long-term happiness.
Working out with friends or a larger group means other people can keep you accountable for sticking with regular exercise long term.
If you don't have a social support network you can count on for dependability, consider hiring a health coach, a trainer, or signing up for an organized healthy weight management program.
These can provide the accountability support you need to stay on track with a regular fitness routine long term.
5. Use Gamification Apps
Using gamification apps is another excellent way to get and stay motivated for regular workouts.
These apps make working out part of a fun game or competition, taking the monotony out of otherwise boring exercises.
Some of these fitness gamification apps allow you to earn gift cards to some of your favorite stores or restaurants, or even earn cash for meeting workout goals!
That's motivation in itself.
6. Find Workouts You Enjoy
Choosing workouts you enjoy makes regular exercise more bearable — or even something you look forward to!
You don't have to torture yourself by doing high-intensity training if that's not your cup of tea.
Low- to moderate-intensity workouts provide extensive health and wellness benefits nonetheless.
If you enjoy being outside, consider hiking, jogging, biking, or swimming outdoors. Even doing yard work counts as physical activity when you're constantly moving.
Try a group fitness class if you enjoy training with other people, or watch a good movie during indoor treadmill, elliptical, or cycling workouts when you prefer working out by yourself or at home.
7. Reward Yourself
Set fitness goals and rewards for yourself to stay motivated.
Choose goals that challenge you, but are still attainable.
Record fitness goals each week, and reward yourself for meeting them.
Sample exercise goals for women might include:
- Get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least five days a week
- Resistance train at least three days weekly
- Complete flexibility training (yoga or Pilates) at least two days per week
When you meet weekly fitness goals, choose a non-food reward — such as a massage, a pedicure or manicure, a new outfit or shopping trip, or a day out with friends or family.
8. Find an Organized Fitness Program
Sometimes simply having other people keep you accountable is all it takes to stay motivated for regular workouts.
A health coach, trainer, friend, or family member might keep you on track with fitness or healthy eating program.
An organized weight loss plan, such as Fit Mother 30X (FM30X), is a program specifically designed for busy moms.
It provides you with the tools needed to get motivated for healthy eating, exercise, or weight loss — and gives you the accountability support necessary to stay motivated long term.
9. Build Exercise Into Daily Routines
It's sometimes easier to complete workouts when you work fitness into your day-to-day routine.
For example, if you work at an office, stop by the gym on your way home from work (or in the morning on your way to work) to boost the odds you'll go regularly.
Work out at the same time each day.
You might sneak in a quick workout before your kids wake up in the morning, during your lunch break, or as soon as you drop the kids off at school.
While your schedule may change from day to day, make sure your workout routine remains stable.
10. Find Happiness
If you're feeling down in the dumps, you might not feel like doing much of anything.
In fact, exercise may even top the list of things you dread.
Happy people are more likely to have motivation for normal day-to-day tasks, including regular workouts.
Exercise helps ease symptoms of depression, but seek treatment from a professional if you experience ongoing sadness you can't shake on your own.
Sometimes simply talking with a therapist, friend, family member, or support group can help.
Your doctor may recommend taking certain medications if natural depression remedies fail, as keeping your mind healthy is just as important as having a strong, fit body.
*Please know that weight loss results & health changes/improvements vary from individual to individual; you may not achieve similar results. Always consult with your doctor before making health decisions. This is not medical advice – simply very well-researched info on fitness motivation.

Best Quality Deck Material Choices
Customer Reviews
My husband and I live in a typical east end semi and this past summer we interviewed with different contractors to build a new back deck, we knew we... wanted to go with composite material as we wanted something that would last a long time and that was low maintenance. After meeting with 5 different companies, we decided to hire GTA decks. When Serge came to see the site, he was professional, informative and efficient. He answered all of our questions and addressed all of our concerns with ease and confidence.He did warn us that the permit process may take a few weeks which it did but once the permit was approved, Jason from Serge's team was quick to start the project and got it done within 2 weeks. He was friendly, professional and very skilled! Serge also let us know the aluminum railings would take a while to come in but once it did, his team was ready to install them immediately.Overall, Serge was very helpful and he definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to decks. We did have to follow up a few times regarding scheduling and timing, however Serge was on top of it and made sure everything was transparent. We would highly recommend GTA decks, we enjoyed working with them and most importantly we love our new deck!read more
Serge and his team were superb… they took their time and worked with great efficiency.. we are very happy with the job they did.. our backyard looks... like a resort!!! Thank u Serge and Jason and the entire team of GTA DECKS!Sue..read more
Serge and his entire team were great to deal with from the outset. They were very professional and treated the work product like it was their own. ...

Several neighbours have asked us for a referral for GTA Decks and we were happy to oblige. We strongly recommend GTA Decks for making your deck ideas become a reality.read more
With so many deck builders out there, we finally settled with GTA Decks, as Serge provided professional service throughout and the deck was completed... with care. We have a walkout basement so the deck is 9ft off the ground, Serge took care of applying for a permit etc. With the pandemic, the city took a while to process the papers, however, drawings had to be revised and re-submitted to include a staircase to the garden for obvious reasons as this was not in our initial plan. But once it was all approved, Serge and his team completed the project. We are looking forward to enjoying our deck this summer. GTA Decks is top quality and you will not be disappointed.read more
Amazing experience with GTA Decks stuff and their crew. They are professional and quality is outstanding. Serge was easy to deal with and he... explained all the questions or concerns we had about our new Timbertech decking. The crew was quick and detailed. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you Serge and team. Amazing product and quality. Highly recommend them.read more
I've always wanted to have a rooftop deck and finally decided to invest. I contacted them, and their project estimator showed up next day, within few... days my rooftop deck was designed by their professional team. Serge was working with getting all necessary permits for a new deck construction. All materials were hoist up using crane. The team build a 850 sq.ft rooftop deck using IPE tiles with pedestals system in just 4 days. Big thanks to Serge and his professional crew for making this dream project come true. Great service, amazing product and workmanship. Highly recommend GTA Decks.read more
We contacted several firms concerning the replacement of our back yard deck. After a long deliberation we decided to contract GTA Decks. Dealing... with Serge was a rewarding experience. Serge was flexible, provided constructive criticism and advice for design modifications which we are glad to have followed. The construction was flawless. All the members of his team were hard working, attentive to details and pleasant to deal with. The project was completed on time and on budget. I have no reservation in recommending Serge and his GTA Deck team.read more
We are happy with our new PVC Wolf Decking installation. Serge did an excellent job on preparing 3D drawings and getting all necessary city... architectural and building permits designed/approved. The GTA Decks crew arrived 4 days before the job was scheduled and they finished as promised. All carpenters worked meticulously and very detailed. Serge made us feel at ease during the entire process of deck building process and ensured that every detail of our deck was executed to perfection. After the deck project was completed and final inspection passed by the city. All of our family members inspected the job and we were very pleased that there were no deficiencies with the quality and the product. Our Deck was built perfectly to Ontario Building Code and City regulations. We will highly recommend Serge and his experienced team to all of our friends, neighbours and family. Thank you GTA Decks and his crew for outstanding service.read more

Some troubling news out of Ecuador. CNN captures some footage of what may be a coup in progress.
Apparently, the police are protesting against austerity measures imposed on public employees by President Rafael Correa. According to the latest reports from Reuters, Caldera was somehow injured in the protests and is now holed up in a hospital with masses of angry police gathered outside.
Here in Washington, DC the Organization for American States has called an emergency meeting on the matter. Presumably, the OAS will uniformly condemn the attack on Correa–they tend to be understandably sensitive to coup attempts. But it will be interesting to see how this develops politically in the United States.
Correa is a left winger and politically aligned with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. You may recall that last year around this time another Central American left winger, Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, was deposed in a military coup that also drew widespread international condemnation. One powerful group that supported the coup, however, was a cadre of Republican members of Congress, neocon political magazines, and a former counsel to Bill Clinton.
Might a pro-coup caucus emerge once again?

Apple is turning Carpool Karaoke, the Late Late Show with James Corden segment that regularly goes viral, into its own TV show, which will air on Apple Music. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Apple has ordered 16 episodes, which will be released weekly once the series is ready. It's not known who will host the new show, though the Reporter says it's unlikely to be Corden.
Can Apple recreate the success of 'Lip Sync Battle'?
While this can all sound a bit ridiculous, this is, at a minimum, a solid idea for a TV series. Celebrity karaoke is a winning formula, as we've seen with Jimmy Fallon's lip sync battle segment, which has since been turned into a series on Spike where it set viewership records. Apple is certainly hoping to repeat that formula here. Given that Carpool Karaoke seems to go viral almost every time it airs, it seems like there's a real chance.
The Carpool Karaoke series is easily Apple's most notable step into video content yet. It's been funding music videos here and there, ordered an app reality show, and has some short form videos in the works, but this show seems like something that Apple wants to become a legitimate hit. It may be harder for the series to go viral if it's behind Apple Music's $10 per month subscription paywall, but it's easy to understand how Apple thinks a series about singing is a natural fit for a music service.

Rustic Dollar Tree Rag Christmas Tree – DIY
Who doesn't like good Dollar Tree craft for the weekend? Not me… ha ha. Love those little makeovers that are possible thanks to that store. On one of my trips to a Dollar Tree I was lucky to find some of those mini trees. Never crafted with them so it was only appropriate to try. So I picked white and green ones. Even dough I love idea of White Christmas decor decorating white tree always seemed to be a challenge for me but I think I am ready. It will be for sure some kind of Rustic Christmas Tree. Let's make a Rag tree diy!

Prep time
I had so many ideas for my white Dollar Trees but as I unpacked and unfolded my tree in the house I noticed that they are completely different shades of white …. Bummer! One of them had a purple hue to it. Thank goodness I had a bit of white spray paint left. Hopefully it will work! I used Rust-Oleum Paint and Primer White
Few sprays and all that purple hue was gone! That was easy!
As I mentioned before dollar trees are really looking like dollar trees if you know what I mean … They are just not that full even if you try hard to spread their branches. I had a plan for that! Let's make rag tree Christmas tree diy!
As you can see my plan is to use pillowcases in white satin like material and white and grey striped one that I also purchased at the Dollar Tree. My goal was to make Rustic Christmas tree and fill in gaps in between branches.
Rag Christmas Tree diy
Cut or like me… rip around 3 inches wide and around 10 inches long strips of material. Can't really tell you how many you just have to make that judgment yourself. It all depends how full you like you rag Christmas tree to be.
Start from the bottom and loosely tie each strip of material alternating in colors. Try to tie strips closer to the trunk first to see how all is coming together
I really didn't want to hide all branches… my goal was just fill in in between. My idea of rag tree DIY is taking its shape and I like what I see. Yess!!!
My simple ornament white bulb lights are just perfect this project don't you think so? If you curious where I found them … they are from Target dollar section.
and I think I am done! TAA- DAAA!!! My non-perfect Perfect Christmas tree.
l LOVE that raggedy tree look. It really does have that Rustic feel!
I am not a professional photographer ..bummer because that Christmas tree really look magical in person. I think my White Christmas decor is taking its shape.
Christmas lights are on
Still not a perfect picture but I had to share how it looks at night. I think it is time to get a better camera!

If you are involved in an accident on your motorcycle, you can go to a regular accident attorney or call an attorney specializing in motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle accident attorneys deal exclusively with the losses and injuries of someone involved in a motorcycle accident.
Nobody expects to have a motorcycle accident or hire a motorcycle accident attorney.
Many people think they will be cared for in a motorcycle accident if they have comprehensive motorcycle insurance. Ensure you retain a qualified motocycle accident attorney to represent you so that your rights are protected when working with the insurance company of the party responsible for the accident.
When involved in a motorcycle accident, the first thing to do is seek immediate medical attention; Even if you don't think you're seriously injured, these minor aches and pains can quickly turn into serious health problems, and nothing is more important than protecting your life and health.
During your trauma test, you need to ensure that all the facts of your accident are well documented, including eyewitness accounts of the accident, and that all other evidence is collected and recorded.
The answer is quite simple. If the police have proven that you are not at fault for the incident, and even if the at-fault party admits fault, the at-fault party's insurance company will almost always deny your claim in its entirety.
There are things to remember when speaking with up-and-coming attorneys, and most of all, you need an experienced car accident filing attorney who knows the laws of your state and an attorney who has won a large percentage of your shares.
There is no point in hiring an inheritance attorney to handle motorcycle accidents, and hiring an attorney who also rides a motorcycle will bring additional experience and knowledge to your case because having an attorney who knows the physical and mechanical elements of riding a motorcycle is important the tools and knowledge that can be used in your case.
While you should get an attorney to represent you and your case as soon as possible, any attorney who cannot give you a few simple answers over the phone or who seems confused, anxious, or misleading is their turn to go immediately. However, it will be nearly impossible for any attorney to study your case over the phone and make a qualified decision about it.
Hiring an experienced motorcycle accident attorney to handle your case will ensure that your legal rights are fully protected. Your case will be presented favorably to the court and the insurance company.

Greetings from the Alabama Department of Senior Services. We are excited to launch our new monthly articles. In the coming months I hope to introduce and inform you about our department and all the programs and services we offer.
The Alabama Department of Senior Services (ADSS) is the state agency responsible for coordinating state and federal programs serving senior and disabled Alabamians. Since its inception, ADSS is best known for its Elderly Nutrition Program; however, ADSS does much more. ADSS strives to enhance and promote independence and dignity for Alabama's senior and disabled populations by meeting a variety of needs, such as providing assistance with prescription drugs, supporting Alzheimer's and dementia initiatives, teaming with the UAB geriatric dental project, Masters Games, Alabama Senior Citizens Hall of Fame, and a host of other ways.
Alabama has 13 designated Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) which are responsible for administering the Senior Services programs and services available to older adults and people of any age with a disability. The AAAs cover all 67 counties in the state and were established under the Older Americans Act in 1973 to respond to the needs of Americans 60 and over in every local community.
Housed within every AAA is an Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC). ADRCs are part of a national initiative put in place by the Administration for Community Living to provide access to information and assistance for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers. The ADRC acts as a "no wrong door" for those needing assistance by providing benefits screening, education and options counseling on long term care services, and support. It is also an entry point for professionals, caregivers, and family members to seek resources and assistance on behalf of their clients, friends, or family members. Telephone callers are screened for assistance utilizing a universal screening tool that prevents the caller from having to give the information numerous times. Referrals are made on behalf of the individual needing assistance and follow-up is provided for quality assurance. The ADRC will offer extended assistance to those who choose an advocate to assist with applying for services and benefits. ADSS strives to support individuals with the tools they need to make informed decisions and maintain their independence in the community of their choice.
The Medicaid Waiver for the Elderly and Disabled (E&D Waiver) Program is designed to provide services to seniors and persons with disabilities whose needs would otherwise require them to live in a nursing home. Our goal is for clients to retain their independence by providing services that allow them to live safely in their own homes for as long as it is appropriate.
Through our State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) you can get:
- Answers to your questions about Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and other health insurance programs for seniors;
- Information and materials designed to assist Medicare beneficiaries in specific areas such as home health benefits, Medicare claims and appeals, and other similar issues;
- Assistance in understanding your Medicare and other health insurance benefits;
- Referrals to other programs or agencies, where appropriate; and
- Group presentationsby our SHIP counselors on a variety of health insurance topics.
Since its inception in 2002, the Alabama SenioRx Prescription Assistance program has saved thousands of Alabamians millions of dollars in medication expenses by providing free or low cost prescription drugs from pharmaceutical manufacturers.
SenioRx is a program for Alabamians who are age 55 and older and for persons with disabilities, who are diagnosed with chronic medical conditions requiring daily medication. The program aims to help people manage their chronic illnesses earlier and prevent more serious health problems later in life. This medication assistance helps people utilize their limited resources for food and other important expenses.
Persons who qualify for SenioRx receive a 3-month supply of prescriptions from various pharmaceutical companies free or at a low cost. The drug cost assistance can be renewed as long as the person is eligible. To qualify you must be at least 55 years of age with a chronic medical condition, have no prescription drug insurance coverage, and must meet certain income guidelines. Social Security disabled individuals, those who have applied for disability, or have a doctor's declaration of disability, and who are in the 24-month Medicare waiting period are also eligible for medication assistance regardless of age.
For more information contact your local AAA and ADRC at 1-800-AGE-LINE (1-800-243-5463). You can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We want to help in any way we can.

Add your comments, questions and answers in this Forum thread.
I appreciate all the errors I'm making because i'm learning sooooo much!
Could use some help with a tension issue. I am doing the stripe sample project and somehow missed one of the stripes and didn't notice it until I had already loaded the loom and wound it all on the back beam.. So I made a 10 strand mini warp and set it all up and weighted it off the back. I can't seem to find the right amount of weight to put on it. My warp thread as it hits the 10 threads is not sitting flush with the rest of the warp thread, it is bowing towards the backbeam (frowning). This makes me think I have to much weight on the warp hanging off the back, but in fact the threads are looser than the rest of the warp. I can't seem to find the right amount of weight to make the warp threads sit evenly. Any tips?
thanks Leslie
Hi Leslie, first question…… is your missing stripe on the selvedge or in the middle? Second question, was it tied on with the same tension as the rest of the warp and the third question - standing at the back of the loom, can you draw any slack out of your mini warp?
1/ it's in the middle and is 10 threads.
2/I'm not sure how to answer this question as there was no tension on it when I tied it to the front beam. I threw the mini warp over the back beam, tied it on to the front beam along with all the rest of the warp and THEN put weight on it over the back.
3/ Yes I can pull it more taut from the back of the loom. This of course causes the frown of the weft over the 10 threads to be very exaggerated. I can also see in the few inches already woven that the 10 threads look different. The warp is more pronounced and poking through the weft more.
Do I just keep adding more weight until there is no slack left?
Thanks Sandra!!
OK - have you tried using less weight? I wish I could stand by your loom and see and feel what was happening! The fact that you feel the situation would get worse if you added more weight makes me wonder about using less. Do you have a little rod that you could use in the manner that Jane uses for supplementary weft? That would help all 10 ends have even tension. Watch Season 3; Episode 8:2 at the 1:15 minute mark to see Jane setting that up at the back of the loom. Hopefully we can come up with something that works!
Oh my goodness Sandra I wish you could be standing at my loom as well!
I watched the bit you suggested and the only issue is that my warp is hanging off the back of the loom and not wound on the back beam so I don't understand how I could use the rod. I would love to send a picture but I see there is a change to the forum and I don't see where I can upload a picture to my comment. Maybe I'll try a new thread and see if I can add a picture.
What would happen if you looped 5 ends around the rod one way and 5 the other? What I'm thinking is that because there are ten ends, for some reason the tension on all of them isn't the same. Another place to watch Jane is when she changes the zinger in Season 2: Episode 2 at about the 32 minute mark. She hangs that mini warp off the back of the loom - I have possibly made the wrong assumption that you had already looked at that lesson.
I've watched the episodes suggested and the Season 2 one was super helpful. I was being to timid with weighting the warp on the back. I got bold and put a fair bit of weight on it and it straightened out what I now realize is called the fell line. My weighting set up isn't as slick as the cones but I figured out it. Thanks for all your input Sandra.

Paralympic legend Libby Kosmala retiresAustralia's 78-year-old shooter won 13 medals and competed in 12 Games from Heidelberg 1972 to Rio 2016 03 Sep 2020
She has competed in 12 Paralympic Games and won 13 medals for Australia. Now, Libby Kosmala plans to watch Tokyo 2020 in a completely unfamiliar way, from TV.
"I have officially retired. I've been to enough Paralympic Games, more than most people," the 78-year-old said in an interview to Australia's Paralympic broadcaster Seven Network.
"I don't know [the feeling of watching the Games on TV], I haven't done that for years," she added with a smile.
Her announcement followed immediate reactions across social media.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Andrew Parsons posted:
"You have aimed at living by the Paralympic values and you did hit the bull's-eye. As always! A true legend!"
Three-time Paralympic champion and Vice President of the IPC Athletes' Council Kurt Fearnley said:
"One of Australia's all time sporting greats! Libby has a list of Australian representative honours that our better known sporting legends could only dream of. We represent on the foundation created by the hard work from the likes of Libby."
From 1968 to 2016
A paraplegic due to complications at birth, Kosmala attended her first Paralympic Games at Tel Aviv 1968 as an assistant secretary of the Australian delegation.
She competed in different Para sports and made her Paralympic debut at Heidelberg 1972 winning a bronze medal in swimming as part of the women's 3x50m medley relay.
Then she discovered shooting Para sport.
"I was given a rifle, I loaded the rifle and they said: 'just shoot that black dot on that target.' And I was: 'oh, where is the trigger?' That is how much I knew about a rifle," Kosmala recalled on her TV interview.
"Then they showed me the trigger and I squeezed the trigger and the shot went straight to the middle."
Four years later, at the Toronto 1976 Paralympics, she won the first of her nine gold medals, in the mixed rifle shooting 2-5.
At the 1984 Games in Stoke Mandeville, Great Britain, Kosmala competed in four events and took gold medals in all of them.
Seoul 1988 were also special Games for Kosmala as she won three golds and a silver, while her husband Stan also took a gold medal in lawn bowls.
Libby Kosmala's last participation at the Paralympics was four years ago in Rio, where she was oldest athlete from any nation at the Games.
New challenges
"It has been a wonderful life. I've had a wonderful life and I don't think of myself as a person with a disability," she said.
That mentality was something Kosmala took from sport to all different areas she has been involved in.
Kosmala has been very active advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities in her city Adelaide and the South Australia state.
She played an important part in the introduction of parking spaces for people with disabilities in the region.
"I did push my barrel quite a bit. The more people do that, the more Australia and South Australia will be fully accessible place for all persons with a disability."
Retiring from competitions does not mean Kosmala will be far from shooting ranges. Her focus now is on the next generation of Australian shooters.
"At my height, I'm in a wheelchair and they are only a little bit higher than I am, so they listen to me very carefully," she said.
Libby Kosmala's Paralympic medals:
Heidelberg 1972
1 bronze medal, women's 3x50m medley relay (swimming)
Toronto 1976
1 gold medal, mixed rifle shooting 2-5
Arnhem 1980
1 gold medal, mixed air rifle prone 2-5
1 silver medal, mixed air rifle 3 positions 2-5
1 silver medal, mixed air rifle kneeling 2-5
Stoke Mandeville & New York 1984
1 gold medal, women's air rifle standing 2-6
1 gold medal, women's air rifle kneeling 2-6
1 gold medal, women's air rifle prone 2-6
1 gold medal, women's air rifle 3 positions 2-6
Seoul 1988
1 gold medal, women's air rifle kneeling 2-6
1 gold medal, women's air rifle prone 2-6
1 gold medal, women's air rifle 3 positions 2-6
1 silver medal, women's air rifle standing 2-6

Summary: Koonin claims that the theories of population geneticists have replaced what he calls the just-so stories of adaptationists with testable predictions. He claims that serious scientists should attempt to falsify the ridiculous theories touted by people like him, so that the ongoing use of ridiculous mathematical models can improve our understanding of evolution.
I think Koonin may be attempting to address the concerns brought forward after another biologically uninformed science idiot claimed that my refutation of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense was "…an unsupported challenge to modern evolutionary theory and misrepresentations of established scientific terms and others' research."
See for comparison: In modern discourse, …[Bonini's] paradox was articulated by John M. Dutton and William H. Starbuck[2]
"As a model of a complex system becomes more complete, it becomes less understandable. Alternatively, as a model grows more realistic, it also becomes just as difficult to understand as the real-world processes it represents" (Computer Simulation of Human Behaviour, 1971).
The difficulty of understanding "real-world" processes has since been placed into the context of: Building Blocks of Life May Have Formed in Water Droplets
From the journal article: Abiotic production of sugar phosphates and uridine ribonucleoside in aqueous microdroplets
…we show that sugar phosphates and a ribonucleoside form spontaneously in microdroplets, without enzymes or an external energy source.
My comment to The Scientist:
Something seems to be missing from what others may believe about the anti-entropic virucidal energy-dependent creation of life.
See for instance: Dependence of RNA synthesis in isolated thymus nuclei on glycolysis, oxidative carbohydrate catabolism and a type of "oxidative phosphorylation" (1964)
The synthesis of RNA in isolated thymus nuclei is ATP dependent.
That suggests there is no such thing as "abiotic production." It is more likely that Schrodinger (1944) was correct:
Indeed, in the case of higher animals we know the kind of orderliness they feed upon well enough, viz. the extremely well-ordered state of matter in more or less complicated organic compounds, which serve them as foodstuffs. After utilizing it they return it in a very much degraded form -not entirely degraded, however, for plants can still make use of it. (These, of course, have their most power supply of 'negative entropy' the sunlight.) (pp. 73 and 74)
See also: Olfaction Warps Visual Time Perception
The authors linked the quantized energy-dependent creation of the sense of smell in bacteria from the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction to all biophysically constrained biodiversity in the context of the space-time continuum and our visual perception of energy and mass.
See also: October 18, 2017 Complex evolutionary footprints revealed in an analysis of reused protein segments of diverse lengths
…our results unequivocally show that duplication of protein segments happens both above and below the domain level among amino acid segments of diverse lengths. Indeed, we show that significant evolutionary information is lost when the protein is approached as a string of domains.
Duplication of protein segments is energy-dependent.
Concluding sentence:
"…the principles presented here and the computational pipeline could facilitate the detection of such peptides. Relating themes to biological functions, such as binding of ligands, nucleic acids, and proteins, may also facilitate this effort, offering a perspective on the evolution of protein function."
Protein function is energy-dependent. No experimental evidence of biophysically constrained biologically-based cause and effect suggests that protein function "evolved" outside the context of what is known about the sun's energy. The detection of all energy-dependent links from electrons to ecosystems via peptides has shown that the functional structure of supercoiled DNA is RNA-mediated and biophysically constrained by the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction.
The physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction biophysically constrains the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA that serious scientists have linked from mutations to all pathology.

Did coevolution (aka ecological adaptation, aka evolutionary adaptation) drive all speciation during the past 6000 years? If so, what drove adaptive evolution?
See: January 10, 2013 Analysis of 6,515 exomes reveals the recent origin of most human protein-coding variants
We estimate that approximately 73% of all protein-coding SNVs and approximately 86% of SNVs predicted to be deleterious arose in the past 5,000–10,000 years. The average age of deleterious SNVs varied significantly across molecular pathways, and disease genes contained a significantly higher proportion of recently arisen deleterious SNVs than other genes.
If protein function "evolved," what limited the number of deleterious mutations that arose in the past 5,000–10,000 years?
For the most likely answer, see: Base-pair opening dynamics of the microRNA precursor pri-miR156a affect temperature-responsive flowering in Arabidopsis
If the base-pair openings and closings of dynamic microRNA precursor pri-miR156a processing can be linked to all energy-dependent healthy longevity during the past 6,000 years via the physiology of reproduction in plants, will cryo-EM imaging reveal the overwhelming amount of pseudoscientific nonsense touted by neo-Darwinian theorists and other biologically uninformed science idiots?
See also: Cryo-EM imaging suggests how the double helix separates during replication
Replication is food energy-dependent, and current technology now attests to the comment Richard Feynman made about "human idiocy."

New Yorker Reminds People That 'Borowitz Report' Is Fake News
"Putin Agrees To Receive Intelligence Briefings In Trump's Place." "Trump To Step Away From Making His Businesses Bankrupt To Focus On Bankrupting Country."
Did you believe that?
Apparently the New Yorker no longer trusts that its readers will sniff a satire in the headlines of its Borowitz Report.
Last week, the New Yorker changed the tagline of comic Andy Borowitz's column from "The news, reshuffled" to "Not the news." The magazine also changed how articles appear on social media to make sure "Not the news" features prominently on previews.
"Obviously Andy's stories are not real. We always want to make it clear that it's satire. We never want readers to think that they are the real news," Nicholas Thompson, the New Yorker's online editor told Women's Wear Daily. "The reasons why we made the adjustment are both public concern, and then also, there's a proliferation of stuff that is not real. So it might be harder to distinguish a Borowitz Report post on Facebook now than it was a year ago."
For more on the story, consider this latest development: "Trump To Split Time Between Trump Tower And Kremlin."

Art....In the Rain
Well, this past weekend was a first for me - to do a fine arts festival in the middle of a Northeaster! We were able to set up the tent on Friday before the rain came - which was great! Then there was rain Friday night and Saturday morning - and it was cold, too. (Well, cold by Florida standards since we had already had lots of hot weather!) The wind came, and also many neighbors of the beautiful Boone Park in Avondale came by. Sunday morning dawned a bit brighter and warmer - and the sun came out! And with the sun, many more people from the area came out to enjoy the beautiful setting with all the exciting art throughout the park! I had a nice time talking to lots of wonderful people!
This Saturday I will be at Arts in the Park - in Johansen Park on Seminole Road, Atlantic Beach. This is always a super show - only one day (Saturday) 10 - 6.

Semiya Upma also called as Vermicelli Upma is a finger-licking delicious breakfast dish. This is an ideal breakfast item for the whole family because it is loved by kids too due to its "noodle-like" texture. The vermicelli we use is made from Sooji (Semolina) which makes this a healthy food when cooked with a variety of vegetables.
Ingredients :
- Semiya – 2 cups
- Onions finely chopped – 3/4 cup
- Tomatoes finely chopped – 1/2 cup
- Boiled peas – 1/4 cup
- Carrots finely chopped – 1/4 cup
- Potatoes finely chopped – 1/4 cup
- Green chilly – 1
- Coriander leaves(chopped) – few pieces for garnishing
- Mustard Seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
- Black Pepper Powder – 1/4 teaspoon
- Salt to taste
- Oil – 2 tablespoons
Servings: 4 persons
Preparation Time: 10 mins.
Cooking time : 10-15 mins.
In a large vessel, add around 6 cups of water and boil it. Once water starts boiling, add Semiya and shake the vessel a bit. Add salt as per the quantity of Semiya and few drops of oil.
Semiya gets cooked very fast (in about a minute or so) hence, keep a constant eye and stop the cooking process once Semiya is soft. Drain out all the water well and run some cold water through Semiya using a sieve to prevent sticking.
In a pan, add oil and once oil is hot, season with mustard seeds.
Add onions and green chilly slit length – wise when mustard seeds begin to splutter and cook till onions become slightly brown.
Then add potatoes, carrots and salt, and cook on low flame covered till they turn soft. Stir in between as required. (Be careful while adding salt. It should be added as per quantity of the vegetables only because already some salt has been added while cooking Semiya).
Now add peas and tomatoes, and cook for a minute.
Add semiya and mix well gently.
Switch off the stove. Sprinkle black pepper powder and garnish with coriander leaves.
Semiya Upma is ready. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.

Tech giants update e-commerce standard
A gaggle of computing giants will release a new version of Web standard UDDI that provides some common ground on how competitors such as Microsoft and IBM view the future of the Net.
In September, Microsoft, IBM and Ariba proposed a standard called Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI). The standard allows businesses to register with an Internet directory that will help companies advertise their services, so they can find one another and conduct transactions over the Web. The online yellow pages directory that UDDI provides is a key part of how "Web services" plans such as Microsoft .Net and Sun One will work together despite corporate differences.
Since last year, Sun, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle and others have joined the UDDI initiative, and the first working version of the UDDI directory was launched in May. But on Monday, the companies plan to announce the second version of the standard.
The new version comes with several improvements. Among them is better support for different languages; more sophisticated searching features; the ability to describe company organizational structures such as divisions, groups and subsidiaries; and more specific business categories that companies can use to describe themselves.
Web services, a vision of the Internet that is only beginning to emerge as actually useful, stitch together services that run on different servers. For example, an insurance company evaluating a new prospect could use UDDI to find companies offering Web services that provide a prospective client's credit history, driving record and address. Or a small store could use the directory to find companies that offer credit card transaction or billing services.
Registry services on the Internet are essential for Web services to succeed, and so far UDDI looks like the only option, said Gartner Group analyst Daryl Plummer.
"UDDI is the only game in town," Plummer said. "UDDI's got a long way to go, but I believe it is the centerpiece of Web services."
UDDI will do for Web services what search engines such as Yahoo did for the Internet in the mid-1990s: provide a way for people to find what they need amid a vast sea of unorganized information. Version 2, by allowing more detailed descriptions of companies and the services they offer, refines the UDDI's usefulness.
Plummber believes UDDI initially will be used in private arrangements among business partners--for example, Home Depot could use a UDDI-based service that finds light-switch suppliers and ranks them according to pricing and availability of light switches.
But UDDI faces a thorny issue: whether it will become an industry standard. Such a move would reduce the control the founding members have but could make UDDI more palatable to others by making it more neutral.
UDDI organizers have said they plan to turn it over to a standards body, but that likely won't happen in the immediate future, Plummer said. "My guess is they'll put it on the back burner" until founders expand UDDI and grow comfortable that it won't be taken in a direction they don't like, he said.
Version 3 was scheduled to be released in September, but Plummer said that doesn't appear likely. UDDI developers are meeting this week in Atlanta, Ga., to discuss version 3, he said.
More than 280 companies have joined UDDI.
