Poor Me
The record is inspired by a proliferating feeling that the world is getting harder to navigate morally. Falsities are acceptable as warrants for our beliefs, social issues are diluted and polarized until they are palatable for the ill-informed, and confidence in ourselves is replacing the competence of collaboration. As we negotiate circumstances in our lives, we have a plethora of sources to turn to for direction. We can gut-check the moment, or we can turn to science, philosophy, religion, government, our families, etc. -- each has its limits, its agendas, but increasingly, a satisfaction with conversion rather than persuasion. It's personally frustrating, but not confounding or anything...the carrot and stick has always been this effective.Read more… close

Prog rock and the counterculture
Rocking the Classics English progressive rock and the counterculture
Update - extensive preview on Google books- spotted by Rich Cross.
So what was progressive rock all about then? Edward Macan has the answers.
In Rocking the Classics - English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture (published in 1997) he does a pretty through job of taking prog rock apart to see how it worked.
I started buying records when I was 13 (1971/2) and soon had quite a few prog rock classics- Close to the Edge by Yes, Foxtrot by Genesis- which has Suppers Ready on it
Trilogy by ELP and a Van der Graaf Generator compilation… so I thought I knew all about prog rock. But I didn't.
Macan is a musicologist and musician. Looking at the origins of prog rock, he finds them amongst the middle class youth of south-east England. As they were growing up in the fifties, future prog rock musicians would have listened to classical music at home- and been familiar with church (of England) music. A few, including Peter Gabriel of Genesis were choirboys.
So when they started to make music in the sixties, it was natural for them to draw on their musical roots, fusing classical and church music with rock. Their privileged background (fee-paying schools) also meant that they were drawn to the spiritual/ religious/mystical/ anti-materialism of the psychedelic counterculture rather than its radical politics. So if they had not invented progressive rock, they might have become dope-smoking trendy vicars…
Macan goes on to point out that even before punk came along to attack the trendy vicars of prog rock, the music had been criticised from its beginnings for its lack of 'authenticity' and its use of classical music themes and structures. Macan argues against this trendy sociologists approach to music. He points out that the same critics who said prog rock was 'too complex, too grandiose, too ambitious' also hated heavy metal because it was too dumb and stupid… and equally lacking in political consciousness.
So that if punk hadn't existed, trendy sociologists would have had to invent it … which Ken Gelder [Subcultures Cultural histories and social practices, 2007, p 92-5] pretty much accuses Dick Hebdige of doing with his Subculture-the meaning of style in 1978. [OK Hebdige didn't invent punk, but he re-constructed it for cultural studies text books.]
To finish up - here are a few quotes/ points from Macan's book.
for the bulk of its participants the counterculture was ultimately more about spiritual transformation than political revolution. Materialism was seen as the root of all evil, the source of greed, violence, and social inequality...Indeed, the hippies were convinced that the material world was essentially unreal (an attitude that was strongly fostered by their drug use), and believed that attempts to change this exterior world were ultimately useless.(p.76)
Such beliefs in 'inner transformation or spiritual evolution rather than political activity' influenced progressive rock lyrics.
These beliefs also influenced the musical structures of progressive rock, which drew on classical music and
the Anglican liturgical experience made a profound impression on future progressive rock musicians. (p.150)
Classical music and the music of the Church of England was part of the social background of prog rock musicians and their first audiences - who were drawn from the prosperous/ comfortable middle classes of south-east England. The same background is likely to account for the lack of interest in the radical political aspects of the UK counterculture, which emerged (at the same time) out of the squats of west London- but no mention of this is made in the book so Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies [who were west London based]are not mentioned even in passing.
This idea of prog rock as emerging from a post-psychedelic English mysticism makes me think of John Michell's work- his books The Flying Saucer Vision, the Holy Grail Restored (1967), The View over Atlantis (1969) and the City of Revelation (1972) came out as prog rock was emerging - and were books I read while listening to the music. But again they are not mentioned by Macan.
In Albion Dreaming, Andy Roberts does discuss John Michell -and how his books provided the more mystical members of the UK counterculture with an alternative to taking the hippy trial to India - by locating powerful spiritual/ magical landscape in England itself, around Glastonbury and Stonehenge.
But rather than becoming part of the free festival circuit, the prog rock groups found a new audience in the USA. Macan suggests that this popularity came from the ability of progressive rock's English/ British 'nationalism'
provided a a kind of surrogate ethnic identity for to its young white [American] audience at a time when (for the first time in American history) the question of what it means to be a white person in America was coming under scrutiny (p155)
The huge popularity of Led Zeppelin's most prog rock song -Stairway to Heaven [eg no. 1 in a Detroit rock station poll of listener's favourite songs in 1978] is used to illustrate the point.
However by becoming stadium rock groups, the creativity of ELP, Gensis, Yes, Pink Floyd etc was slowly lost, so although their popularity peaked in the later seventies, their most artistically satisfying and 'progressive' albums were recorded between 1970 and 1974. Macan notes that Robert Fripp pulled the plug on King Crimson in 1974. Later Fripp said
The band ceased to exist in September 1974 which is when all English bands in that genre should have ceased to exist. (p.206)

Comfort food. Best topped with gravy. Easy dinner fix.
Chicken Fried Steak
2 Eggs
Thin steak (your preference)
Salt & Pepper
Vegetable Oil
- Cover bottom of skillet with enough vegetable oil that about half the steak depth will be covered. Turn stove on and begin to heat oil.
- Pour a pile of flour onto a plate, add salt & pepper to taste. Stir dry ingredients until mixed.
- Put 2 eggs into a bowl, add a little milk and beat until well blended.
- Test skillet by dropping a little flour into it. If it begins to bubble and cook instantly, you are ready to add your steak.
- Dip steak in flour, then egg mixture, then flour, then egg mixture, then flour.
- Place steak gently into the skillet. Cook steak until nicely browned, flipping sides evenly (see pictures below).
Really, that's all there is to it. Try it out with a side of green beans and mashed potatoes. Or load it all down with some thick white gravy.
Dinner is done, now it's time for dessert!

Someone has to come and empty that container(s) and take the recyclables and trash away. That is where your recycling and trash crew comes into the equation. Without someone willing to drive a truck and someone else to hang on the back and empty bins, carts and cans, we'd end up with a mountain of old unwanted stuff in front of our homes. To be honest, it's not a job most of us would want to do.
When it is 95 degrees, they roll down your street and take your stuff away.
When it is 20 degrees, they roll down your street and take your stuff away.
When it is pouring rain, they roll down your street and take your stuff away.
Each day, they lift thousands of pounds as they dump bins, carts and cans into collection vehicles.
It is statistically one of the most dangerous jobs a person can have.
John Arwood, who runs Arwood Waste in Florida, believes that the humble garbage man deserves a national day of recognition and has selected June 17th to be that day. We here at Solid Waste Services agree that these hard working men and women deserve more thought and thanks from us than we generally give them. With that in mind the next time you see a worker carrying a trash can across the street, or rolling a cart to a truck, take a minute and give the worker a thank you wave and a smile. They will certainly appreciate the recognition and acknowledgement

The management of Guaranty Trust Bank, (GTBank) has reacted to claims that the bank had been absolveda by indigenous auto firm, Innoson Group of Companies.
The auto company had, on Friday, announced taking over the bank via a writ of FiFA it obtained at the supreme court judgement over the indebtedness of the bank to the company up to a tune of N8.7 billion.
The company reportedly sealed off two branches of the bank in execution of the judgement.
But in a reaction on Friday, the bank maintained that the issue it had in contention with the manufacturing conglomerate was with an account of Nigeria Custom Service that is domicile with the bank and not against GT bank as an entity.
The Bank's Secretary, Erhi Obebeduo, in the statement released said, "The attention of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc ('the bank') has been drawn to statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported enforcement of a judgment of the federal high court, Ibadan, Oyo State, at one of its branches in Anambra State.
"The bank, as a law-abiding corporate citizen, is taking all necessary legal steps to address this situation and to ensure that no illegal or fraudulent execution is carried out.
"It is important to state that the judgment in question is in respect of garnishee proceedings against the account of the Nigerian Custom Service board domiciled with the bank and not against the bank as an entity", it stated.

Intestinal mucositis induced by 5-FU results in glial changes modified by analgesics via neuro-immune mechanisms Juliana Bajic Alexandra Whittaker 10.4225/55/59ed4f8fb85a9 https://adelaide.figshare.com/articles/Intestinal_mucositis_induced_by_5-FU_results_in_glial_changes_modified_by_analgesics_via_neuro-immune_mechanisms/5526742
Analgesic choice in oncology is problematic due to exacerbating gastrointestinal symptoms. Chemotherapy drugs induce intestinal mucositis, pain & often cognitive impairment (CICI). Neuro-immune glial cells, microglia and astrocytes are sensitive to peripheral inflammatory events & analgesics, modifying pain signalling and cognition. Glial reactivity may occur directly via central insults or indirectly via peripheral-to-central neuro-immune signalling pathways; cellular, humoral or neural pathways.

Research problem

- Chemotherapy induces intestinal mucositis, pain & CICI

- Whilst analgesics ameliorate pain, they may exacerbate chemotherapy-induced gut side-effects

- Analgesics may also modulate inflammatory responses and glial cell expression via neuro-immune signalling pathways

Hypothesis

- Glial changes will contribute to pain signalling and affect higher order brain regions involved in cognition via neuroimmune signalling mechanisms in rats with intestinal mucositis

Aims

- Characterise the effect of 3 analgesics on acute intestinal inflammation and neuro-immune mechanisms in a rat model of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis

- Assess acute intestinal mucositis via myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the jejunum & ileum of rats

- Quantify glial reactivity & pro-inflammatory response, determining neuro-immune pathway via a) humoral: hippocampal or b) neuronal: thoracic (T6-T9; innervated by small intestine)

Methods

- Female DA rats (n=8)

- I.P. administration of either saline or 5-FU (150mg/kg) in combination with 12 hourly doses of opioid derivatives (buprenorphine; BUP, 0.05kg/mg or tramadol; TRAM, 12.5mg/kg) or NSAID (carprofen; CARP, 15mg/kg)

- Rats were humanely euthanized at peak injury phase of intestinal mucositis (72h after saline or 5-FU administration)

- Intestinal sections were quantified using MPO assay & CNS sections using western blot staining for microglia (CD11b), astrocyte (glial fibrillary associated protein; GFAP) & interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)

- All results p < 0.05 deemed significant

Discussion

BUP & TRAM may be more effective analgesic options in 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis

- Attenuated acute intestinal inflammation (MPO activity)

- Increased hippocampal GFAP expression

- Co-administration of 5-FU returns GFAP increase to basal levels

- Thoracic IL-1β expression was increased in 5-FU treated rats, yet reduced in opioid analgesics

- CD11b changes were most evident in hippocampal and thoracic CARP groups

- Thoracic inflammatory effect was observed in CARP group

- Neuro-immune signalling pathways associated with the glial changes:

- Humoral (hippocampal) & neural (thoracic) pathways

- 5-FU induced an increase in thoracic GFAP expression (indicative of astrocyte activation), potentially enhancing pain signalling pathways as indicated by elevated IL-1β levels

- Intestinal histological score remained unchanged in opioid groups despite beneficial reduction in MPO activity

Carpet Cleaning - Say No to Allergies
Dirt and soil are easily seen on a hard surface and soon wipe off, but on carpet it can soon work its way deep into the fibers where the abrasive action will cause them to deteriorate and need replacing prematurely.
Your carpet acts like a giant air filter in your home, collecting bacteria, pet dander, pollen, dust and soil from the environment. Just as you clean or replace the filters for your air conditioning unit; you should regularly clean your carpets.
Protect Your Investment and Extend the Life of Your Carpet

Remove TAR , Dust & Water vapour
Transportable with 3 refillable bubbler
Inlet from process Hi-Temperature probe
Peltier cooler with 1 heat exchanger
Internal Sample pump
Gas sample out dry @ 5 ⁰C
Max Flow sample out 300 Nl/h
Low cost of ownership
Cooler maintenance free
Universal uses in sampling gas
Regarding the presence of tars in biosyngas, it may be stated that "tars" are equivalent to a major economic penalty in biomass gasification. Tar aerosols and deposits lead to more frequent maintenance and repair of especially gas cleaning equipment and resultantly lower plant capacity factors.
This leads to a decrease of revenues or to higher investments, as some equipment will be installed in duplicate to overcome standstills.
Furthermore, removal of tar components from the process wastewater requires considerable investments that can even be dramatic as some tar components show poisoning behaviour in biologic wastewater treatment systems.
In gas analysis it's mandatory to have a a clean gas to feed the analyzer so the system flow firstly remove the majority of tar and dust through washing device , then by two degree precision filter, the gas chiller provide to remove the moisture and dust, as to obtain a kind of clean dry air. Finally, the sample gas through the protection filter goes into the analytical instruments .

Software Turns Sign Language into Text
Researchers at Aberdeen University in Scotland, UK, are developing technology that will translate sign language into text. It could have a profound impact on the way people with hearing and speech impairments are able to communicate.
The Portable Sign Language Translator (PSLT ) has been developed by computing scientists at Technabling, a spin-out from Aberdeen University. The PSLT recognizes sign language using a small camera which can be integrated in most mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablet Pcs and netbooks, and then renders it as text displayed on the device's main screen.

Vizio, UHD Alliance Spar Over Standards
When the UHD Alliance — a consortium of consumer electronics manufacturers, major studios, distributors and tech companies — unveiled its specs for 4K UHD displays and content at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), it was a who's who of the CE industry behind the effort.
Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, TCL, Sharp, LG Electronics and more grouped together to help set standards for resolution, peak luminance, high dynamic range (HDR), black levels and wide color gamut, and unveiling an "Ultra HD Premium" logo for UHD devices, content and services that meet the standards.
But one notable CE company was missing from the parade: Vizio, one of the largest flat-panel sellers in the U.S. And now the company is speaking out as to why.
"Vizio sees value in the industry specifying a premium experience for consumers but the 'Premium 4K' certification program proposed by the UHDA falls short and has serious problems," a company spokesman said in an emailed statement. "The UHDA program does not sufficiently detail how to measure for or specify items like peak brightness or black level and as a result, certifies some products that we don't believe should qualify for a UHD Premium certification and would ignore other products that should be certified."

Before posting pictures of your late-night revelry or complaints about your job on social media, think again – 70% of employers use social media to screen candidates before hiring, up significantly from 60 % last year and 11% in 2006.
The national survey was conducted online on behalf of CareerBuilder by Harris Poll between February 16 and March 9, 2017. It included a representative sample of more than 2,300 hiring managers and human resource professionals across industries and company sizes in the private sector.
"Most workers have some sort of online presence today– and more than half of employers won't hire those without one," said Rosemary Haefner, chief human resources officer at CareerBuilder. "This shows the importance of cultivating a positive online persona. Job seekers should make their professional profiles visible online and ensure any information that could negatively impact their job search is made private or removed."
What Are Employers Looking for?
Social recruiting is becoming a key part of HR departments – 3 in 10 employers (30%) have someone dedicated to the task. When researching candidates for a job, employers who use social networking sites are looking for information that supports their qualifications for the job (61%), if the candidate has a professional online persona (50%), what other people are posting about the candidates (37%) and for a reason not to hire a candidate (24%).
Employers aren't just looking at social media – 69% are using online search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing to research candidates as well, compared to 59% last year.
Ponder Before You Post
Learn from those before you – more than half of employers (54%) have found content on social media that caused them not to hire a candidate for an open role. Of those who decided not to hire a candidate based on their social media profiles, the reasons included:
- Candidate posted provocative or inappropriate photographs, videos or information: 39 %
- Candidate posted information about them drinking or using drugs: 38%
- Candidate had discriminatory comments related to race, gender, religion: 32%
- Candidate bad-mouthed their previous company or fellow employee: 30%
- Candidate lied about qualifications: 27%t
- Candidate had poor communication skills: 27%
- Candidate was linked to criminal behavior: 26%
- Candidate shared confidential information from previous employers: 23%
- Candidate's screen name was unprofessional: 22%
- Candidate lied about an absence: 17%
- Candidate posted too frequently: 17%
Your online persona doesn't just have the potential to get you in trouble. Cultivating your presence online can also lead to reward. More than 4 in 10 employers (44%) have found content on a social networking site that caused them to hire the candidate. Among the primary reasons employers hired a candidate based on their social media profiles were candidate's background information supported their professional qualifications (38%), great communication skills (37%), a professional image (36%), and creativity (35%).
Don't Delete, Instead Police
Debating removing your social media profiles while job searching? Think twice before you hit delete. 57% of employers are less likely to call someone in for an interview if they can't find a job candidate online. Of that group, 36% like to gather more information before calling in a candidate for an interview, and 25% expect candidates to have an online presence.
Got the Job? Stay Vigilant
Just because you got the job doesn't mean you can disregard what you post online. More than half of employers (5%) use social media sites to research current employees. 34% of employers have found content online that caused them to reprimand or fire an employee.
Survey Methodology
This survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder among 2,380 hiring and human resource managers (employed full-time, not self-employed, non-government) between February 16 and March 9, 2017 (percentages for some questions are based on a subset, based on their responses to certain questions). With a pure probability sample of 2,380, one could say with a 95% probability that the overall results have a sampling error of +/- 2.01 percentage points. Sampling error for data from sub-samples is higher and varies.

"This is going to be one of the most infamous news disasters since Stern published the 'Hitler Diaries.'" – WikiLeaks, Twitter, Nov 27, 2018
Those at The Guardian certainly felt they were onto something. It would be a scoop that would have consequences on a range of fronts featuring President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Julian Assange and the eponymous Russian connection with the 2016 US elections.
If they could tie the ribbon of Manafort over the Assage package, one linked to the release of hacked Democratic National Committee emails in the summer of 2016, they could strike journalistic gold. At one stroke, they could achieve a trifecta: an exposé on WikiLeaks, Russian involvement, and the tie-in with the Trump campaign.
The virally charged story, when run towards the leg end of November, claimed that Manafort had visited Assange in the embassy "in 2013, 2015 and in spring 2016." Speculation happily followed in an account untroubled by heavy documentation. "It is unclear why Manafort would have wanted to see Assange and what was discussed. But the last apparent meeting is likely to come under scrutiny and could interest Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor who is investigating alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia."
It was a strikingly shoddy effort. An "internal document" supposedly garnered from the Ecuadorean intelligence agency named a certain "Paul Manaford [sic]" as a guest while also noting the presence of "Russians". No document or individual names were supplied.
The enterprise was supposedly to come with an added satisfaction: getting one over the prickly Assange, a person with whom the paper has yet a frosty association with since things went pear shaped after Cablegate in 2010. Luke Harding, the lead behind this latest packaging effort, has received his fair share of pasting in the past, with Assange accusing him of "minimal additional research" and mere reiteration in the shabby cobbling The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man (2014). "The Guardian," Assange observed in reviewing the work, "is a curiously inward-looking beast." Harding, for his part, is whistling the promotional tune of his unmistakably titled book Collusion: How Russia Helped Trump Win the White House. The feud persists with much fuel.

In this post, you will see a yarn weight guide and conversion chart.
If you are a beginner who is learning how to knit or crochet then you are probably still figuring out yarn weights and categories.
For those who are new to buying yarn and choosing knitting or crochet patterns, you might just buy yarn you like because you fall in love with it – with no idea what you can actually make with it!
Or you might want to make a pair of socks and have no idea which yarn would be best to use or to knit a blanket that's soft and squishy, but again find yourself not being sure about which yarn is going to work for the size of the blanket.
In this post, you will learn everything you need to know about yarn weights, including all of the different standards and names.
As with both knitting and crochet abbreviations and terms, there are many different naming systems and definitions.
It can also depend on the country you are in too, like the UK, the US, Australia and other places have differing terms for some yarns and of course for knitting needle and crochet hook sizes.
Understanding Yarn Weights
There are various standards of yarn weights and it is important for the projects that you select the right yarn for your work.
Sometimes if you see a yarn you love and can't resist buying, you can take a look at the label and see which yarn symbol it has – for example, let's say a 6 – Super Bulky.
The yarn label would also recommend the needle and hook size to use with that yarn, so you should be able to match up the yarn to the needle size easily.
Then you need to think about what you are going to make with it – if the yarn is super bulky, you would use that for a heavy blanket, sweaters and rugs.
These are just some of the questions I get asked from makers about yarn weights:
What is worsted weight yarn?
- Worsted weight yarn refers to a medium weight yarn, which is heavier than DK yarn also known as double knitting yarn, sport weight yarn, baby weight yarn and fingering weight yarn.
- It is lighter than bulky yarn, super bulky and chunky yarn.
- Great for making sweaters or accessories like scarves and hats.
Would double knitting wool be ok to use?
- Double knitting yarn can be used for many projects, such as sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats and gloves.
- DK yarn is easy to use and can work up faster than fine yarns.
- It is in the category of Lightweight yarn 03 beside light worsted weight yarns.
- You can even knit with two strands of DK together to substitute for worsted weight yarn.
What is Aran yarn?
- Aran yarn is a medium weight yarn that can be known in the US as worsted weight yarn listed in the medium weight category.
- Aran weight is more commonly used than worsted weight if you are visiting UK stores or websites to buy yarn.
- Aran, however, weighs slightly more than worsted yarn – so they are not exactly the same weight.
- Aran weight yarns are a great choice for almost any project.
- They are perfect for sweaters, scarves, hats and more!
- Great for when you need a heavier yarn that still looks quite light.
What is fingering yarn?
- Fingering weight yarn is thin but often used for lightweight garments like shawls or knitting socks.
- This is sometimes sold as baby yarn for making baby garments but it can be used for many things.
- The yardage is normally high when you buy fingering yarn, so you can get quite a lot from one single skein!
Can I use chunky yarn with 4mm/US size 6 needles?
- This would be quite difficult for you to work with, so it is better to check the yarn label or the yarn weights guide below to see the needle size that is appropriate for the type of yarn you have chosen.
- For example, if you buy a chunky yarn you would normally use size 8mm (US 11) needles and above.
- The type of yarn you would pair with size 4mm (US 6) needles is normally a lightweight yarn – also known as DK/double knitting/light worsted.
Why Are Yarn Weights Important?
When you chose a pattern it is important to know that you have selected the right yarn and needles/hooks for the pattern, so that you will have the same gauge and that it will turn out as expected.
If for example, the pattern asks you to use a DK yarn (Light 3) and you choose to use a super bulky yarn (super bulky 6) the size of the finished piece is going to be drastically different.
You don't want to spend hours making something for it to then turn out the wrong size or shape.
This is known as the gauge – checking your gauge is important, especially when making garments.
Gauge is when you check how many rows and stitches fit within a measurement – for instance, it might say 3 rows in 1″ – so you know that 3 rows of knitting should fit into 1″.
On the yarn label below, it says for knitting – 16 stitches in 22 rows and for crochet 12 stitches for 15 rows.
What Is Ply?
Yarn ply is slightly different from the yarn weight and years ago was more commonly used to mean something about the weight of the yarn.
The ply was known for some sizes – for example, two-ply yarn was known as being very thin and an eight-ply yarn was much thicker.
Ply refers to the thickness of the yarn, if you see that yarn is 1 ply that means it is really thin and up to 12+ is the thickest.
A 1 ply yarn was known as a singles yarn, the singles are plied to create yarns of different thicknesses, but this is not consistent and no longer relates to the yarns weights based on the number of plies.
When spinners used to make yarn they would categorize it by the thickness, this was the way that people used to know the weight of yarn.
If you see knitting instructions that use ply yarn these rules generally apply:
- Two-ply yarn mostly refers to super-fine yarn.
- Four-ply yarn is lightweight – also known as DK or double knitting yarn.
- Aran yarn is not normally specified by ply but that means worsted weight or medium weight yarn.
What Is WPI?
WPI is a term that means wraps per inch and is often used to determine the yarn weight if you have many scrap yarns with no labels.
it is a method often used by spinners, it can be used by knitters and crocheters too.
You can measure this by wrapping your yarn around a pencil to see how many wraps you can get in one inch.
If that sounds like too much work, there are also kits available to do this for you!
Yarn Weights Made Easy | Common Uses
Here is a list of the common uses for the different types of yarn weights;
- 0: Lace – Lace knitting/crochet
- 1: Super Fine – Light eyelet/socks
- 2: Fine – Light sweaters/baby items/accessories
- 3: Light – Sweaters and other garments/ lightweight scarves
- 4: Medium – Sweaters/blankets/hats/scarves/mittens
- 5: Chunky – Rugs/jackets/blankets/hats/scarves
- 6: Super Bulky – Heavy blankets/sweaters/rugs/hats/scarves
- 7: Jumbo – heavy blankets/rugs
Yarn Weight Chart
Yarn weights have been classified into categories that you will see numbered on any yarn label.
They are featured in most knitting and crochet books and you can see them below in this info graphic, that you can pin or save for your reference.
This includes;
- The weights are given (from 0-7) and the other common names that type of yarn is known by.
- The ply count.
- The WPI count.
- The knitting needle size – in metric and US sizes.
- The hook size – in metric and US sizes.
I hope this has been helpful and that you now know more about yarn weights and their categories.
There is so much to learn when you begin knitting and crocheting, that you soon build a knowledge bank, based on your experience.
I have pulled out so many pieces because I didn't like the way it looked or I had made a mistake – it just happens.
So don't give up and keep going, because once you get into it, it can take over your life!
If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.

This Just In: Tiger Woods, Still Better at Golf Than You
By JETLaw On December 9, 2009 December 9, 2009· 2 Comments
In case you have been living under a rock (or in the library like my classmates and myself), Tiger Woods has been caught having an extramarital affair with another woman. Since the story broke a few days ago by National Enquirer, there has been a media storm of coverage. Here's a link to some of the National Enquirer's coverage of the story. It's not the original article, but it shows some of the flavor of its reporting. Other, similar news outlets and news blogs, such as TMZ.com and Perezhilton, have joined in on the racy news heyday. I'll leave it to you to peruse those outlets on your own time.
In addition to the tabloid-fest, some reputable news sources have provided daily coverage of the events leading up to Woods' revelation of the affair on his own website. Until Tiger came out on his own to clear the air, there was no telling the difference between truth or fiction in the enormous funnel-cloud of gossip swirling around in the blogosphere.
There has also been much published opinion regarding whether the degree of media interest Tiger's personal life has generated borders on the unethical. Whether you agree or disagree with all of the media attention Tiger's personal life has been receiving, legally speaking, there probably isn't a thing wrong with it. The Supreme Court made clear in the 1960s, in the seminal case New York Times v. Sullivan, that a public figure such as Tiger Woods has no claim for defamation, libel, slander, or invasion of privacy unless the public figure can prove that the speaker/invader acted with malice–the intent to harm the public figure.
It is doubtful, here, that Tiger could prove that any of these media outlets acted with the required malice. First of all, it's generally difficult to prove malice–essentially another person's thoughts–in any type of case. Here, unless you have something beyond just circumstantial evidence, like a smoking-gun email for instance, it probably won't happen. Furthermore, he took a five-iron to the grill. It's doubtful that anyone but the most sadistic among us would want to cause poor Tiger any excess harm at this point.

IF YOU STOPPED the average person in an emergency room and asked why she's there—not just her guess at the problem, but what really motivated her to show up—the number one answer would be "pain."
For all that modern medicine has learned about disease and treatment, it's alleviating pain that still lies at the heart of the profession. And in recent years, the notion of treating "pain" as its own entity has been rising to the forefront in medicine. Pain management now has its own journals, conferences, clinics, and specialists, and pain relief is sometimes referred to as a human right. The Institute of Medicine reports there are more than 100 million chronic pain sufferers in the United States, and others have estimated the problem costs $60 billion a year in lost productivity. In September, a coalition that includes the FDA, the CDC, and the NIH is expected to release a long-awaited "National Pain Strategy."
But as pain rises on the agenda for clinicians and patients, research is uncovering some unsettling facts about how it really affects people. First, not everyone experiences pain similarly. In experiments, women and black people have frequently shown lower pain tolerance when asked to do things like hold their hands in ice water. Gender differences in pain prevalence and intensity emerge in adolescence, and for reasons not fully understood, women are particularly vulnerable to conditions including migraines, back pain, and fibromyalgia. Low-income Americans, too, are more likely to suffer pain than their high-income peers: They are likelier to be engaged in manual labor, to eat poorly, and to go to the doctor less often, to name just a few causes. Among pain patients, blacks and Hispanics are likelier to report their pain is severe.
It's also clear that not everyone's pain receives equal attention. A robust and growing body of evidence suggests that the groups who suffer the most also receive less effective treatment for that suffering. Pain is "a huge public health problem," said Carmen Green, a pain specialist at the University of Michigan who has researched disparities in care. But because a disproportionate number of its victims belong to traditionally disempowered groups, "it's been a silent epidemic."
Pain, it appears, is distributed with a kind of inequality distinct from the other inequalities in American health care—one with its own contours, its own logic, and its own disturbing history. And because chronic pain, in particular, often lacks a discrete location in the body, it leaves both diagnosis and treatment almost completely up to a doctor's own judgment, which brings in a range of subtle prejudices that psychologists and other scholars are only beginning to understand. "Chronic pain greatly exacerbates already existing inequality within society," said Joanna Bourke, an historian at Birkbeck College in London, whose new book, "The Story of Pain: From Prayer to Painkillers," makes the intriguing argument that both experiences of and responses to pain have evolved since the 18th century.
Bourke's book, and the emerging research on pain, suggest that pain mirrors existing prejudices in society in ways that medicine is only beginning to grapple with. There's no quick route to solving the problem of pain care, and its thorniness suggests that doctors must first face the steep challenge of understanding both the history and psychology of a problem that medicine, often, would rather not talk about.
'IN OUR PROCESS of being civilized we have won, I suspect, intensified capacity to suffer," renowned American neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell wrote in 1892. "The savage does not feel pain as we do." It was an uncontroversial statement at the time: Jews, the Irish, Southern Europeans, Native Americans, and black people were just a few of the groups that had been long assumed to possess inferior awareness of pain. White women, by contrast, were thought to be exquisitely sensitive.
Paradoxically, the same groups accused of insensitivity often were also said to respond to pain with insufficient stoicism. Black people's supposed indifference to pain was used to justify colonization and slavery; at the same time, slaves were often accused of overreacting to pain. Bourke looked as far back as the 18th century and found that some groups were accused of widely disparate kinds of "improper" pain responses practically all at the same time. "It's a really a Catch-22," she said. "They're either not really feeling, and it's just reflexes, or they're feeling too much and it's exaggerated or it's hysterical."
It was only in the 1940s that mainstream medicine started to question the notion that northern European and "primitive" women experienced pain differently. And as late as 1959, doctors were still debating whether eye color correlated to tolerance for pain. Dark-eyed patients, the editors of the British Medical Journal wrote, are likelier to have descended from "more excitable Mediterranean people." One doctor wrote in to say he "eased [his] burden considerably" by choosing to work with as many blonde, blue-eyed children as possible: "Nordic children," he wrote, "either have a higher pain threshold than other children or greater self-control."
There was little mainstream medical interest in the question of pain until the 1970s, when researchers began looking into pain itself, not just pain as a byproduct of various conditions. The field of pain management got its own medical society in 1983, and by then it was starting to become clear that not every pain patient was treated the same. Studies had begun to show, for example, that minorities being treated for metastatic cancer pain were twice as likely as white patients to receive inadequate pain relief. A 1981 study conducted in Hawaii found that white surgery patients were more likely to be given analgesics than Filipino, Japanese, or Chinese patients, in part because of stereotypes about how different ethnic groups respond to pain.
It sounds like the kind of paternalism that would be easy for modern doctors to shed, but the evidence shows that such inequalities persist. "I don't think things have changed as much as we tell ourselves," said Bourke. Women still receive less effective pain treatments, even though they are significantly likelier than men to experience pain. A 2007 study of heart-surgery patients found that men were likelier to be given pain medication, and women were likelier to be given sedatives. An earlier study found women with metastatic breast cancer were less likely to receive "optimal" pain treatment than men with prostate cancer. With chronic pain in particular, convincing doctors to take pain seriously can be difficult. "With childbirth, we don't say to the woman, 'Oh, you're making up the pain, stop being such a wuss,'" said Judy Foreman, a former health reporter for the Globe and the author of the recent book "A Nation in Pain: Healing Our Biggest Health Problem." "With chronic pain, the pain can be way worse than childbirth, and you don't know if it's going to go away, and people don't believe you."
The evidence for undertreatment of pain in minority patients is even more striking. Black pain patients are less likely than white patients to receive pain medication; when they do receive it, they receive less. Studies of post-operative care have repeatedly found white patients receiving higher doses of opioids than minorities. The same is true for chronic pain. A 2005 study found that minorities are also less likely to be able to get their prescriptions for analgesics filled at their local pharmacies. A more recent study even found that Hispanic children received 30 percent less opioid analgesic than white children for their tonsillectomies.
Potential explanations for these disparities include conscious and unconscious bias, and doctors' assumptions about minorities' ability to pay for medication. But a separate strain of research suggests that doctors may not even recognize the full extent of that pain in the first place. In experiments published in a 2012 study, Sophie Trawalter, an associate professor of public policy and psychology at the University of Virginia, asked participants to think about how much pain they would experience in certain scenarios, and then showed them pictures of either a black person or a white person and asked how much pain they would expect that person to feel.
The results were striking: White participants and black participants all rated blacks' pain as less intense than whites'. When the experiment was repeated with nurses and nursing students, the results were the same. And people with nondiscriminatory racial attitudes make the same kind of perception errors as measurably prejudiced people do. A related study published in February found that racial bias in pain perception appears in children as young as 7. "If you can't recognize the pain, you can't treat it," Trawalter said.
Trawalter's work suggests that the problem of pain inequality may turn out to be more stubborn than it looks. "At least one thing that contributes to this bias is the belief that on average, black people have harder lives, which is true," she said. "But then there's the belief that hardship leads to toughness....It's a cultural narrative we have that unfortunately backfires in this really tragic way." In a perverse irony, sympathy seems to diminish empathy.
PAIN IS A SPECIAL CASE, even within the tilted playing field of American health care. One reason is its inherent, even radical, subjectivity. Western medicine is founded on objectivity: When a patient says something is wrong, doctors look for a discrete problem that can be tested and correlated to a diagnosis. Pain, by contrast, is defined by what the patient feels. The most common tool for measuring it is a simple 0-to-10 scale of the patient's own perception. As nurse and pain-management pioneer Margo McCaffery put it in 1968 in a definition still widely cited, pain is "whatever the person experiencing the pain says it is, existing whenever the person says it does."
Chronic pain in particular often doesn't have a discrete material location, or an identifiable cause. "That doesn't fit into the rubric of what it means to be a Western medical practitioner," said Daniel Goldberg, a bioethicist at East Carolina University and author of the recent book "The Bioethics of Pain Management." This leaves its sufferers vulnerable to skepticism, prejudice, and "accusations of malingering," he said. It doesn't help that many pain medications are addictive, and some people really do feign pain to scrounge their next prescription.
Because pain has such a strong psychological component, finding objective tools to diagnose it is not a simple proposition. Research emerging in the last few years has suggested that certain types of pain create a distinct signature in the brain, and even that sensitivity to pain might be connected to brain structure. But the idea of a practical and affordable tool for measuring all kinds of patient pain is a distant dream at best. And that leaves pain susceptible to doctors' prejudices, including unconscious ones. What it comes down to is: Do they trust their patient's account of their own pain?
It is easy to forget, amid tales of chronic pain, that the story of pain relief since those dark days is a genuinely triumphant one: Modern painkillers are often quite cheap and effective, and the stronger ones can make serious pain almost magically endurable. But ironically, advancements in medicine may have made it harder to deal with the pain that remains. As Bourke wrote in a recent essay for Aeon magazine, there was a "rich language of suffering" before the days of general anesthesia and formal pain management. Patients still talk about their pain—particularly online—but doctors do not listen like they used to, she suggests: Modern pain management is "moving the subjective experience of pain further towards the periphery of medical discourse."
As awareness of the undertreatment problem spreads, there's hope that it will start to change how pain is greeted by hospitals and doctors' offices. There's a long way to go: Foreman's book reports that most medical students receive less than 10 hours of pain education in four years of classes, and that only four medical schools in the country require students to take a course in chronic pain. Foreman says, in all seriousness, that veterinary schools currently do a better job training their students in pain management than medical school do.
Some see psychology offering tools for change. In a series of experiments similar to Trawalter's, psychologist Brian Drwecki, now of Regis University, found that asking subjects in pain-perception experiments to briefly pause to consider the other person's perspective drastically reduces racial bias. It almost sounds too good to be true—even easy—but the idea still faces plenty of hurdles. "Empathy is often downplayed in [the medical] community as something that will hurt you," Drwecki said, referring to doctors' fears of "burnout." "It's a difficult job, and one of the protective mechanisms is to push away empathy."
Just as pain has become its own field of medicine, the rise of pain as its own cause may be what catalyzes change. Foreman points out that in recent decades, groups including AIDS and breast cancer patients have banded together to shout down the stigmas surrounding their diseases. They have organized marches, told their stories in the press, and written letters to Congress for increased funding for research. As they have, their causes have tended to emerge as more kaleidoscopic problems—the kinds that demand, and get, more ambitious and imaginative solutions. "Our best hope is for pain patients to get very active," Foreman said. Sometimes the only reasonable response to pain is to scream a bit louder.

USA Today weighed in on the controversy surrounding DHS funding with an editorial that carried a spot-on proposal for what Congress should do anytime they shut even part of the government down. The USA Today editorial board believes Congress is using federal employees as pawns in their antics, and there should be something in place that will make them think twice about playing these games.
Their idea? They said:
"To make lawmakers think twice about so carelessly using federal employees as pawns in their war with the president, we propose that any time Congress deliberately shuts down the government and throws people out of work (or makes them work without paychecks), Congress should automatically lose its pay as well. There's nothing like a little skin in the game to make members realize their cavalier gamesmanship has real costs."
There is argument about how much a DHS shutdown would affect our national security. However, there is no debate about how it would affect furloughed employees, and those who must continue to work for free. Depending upon how long they go without pay, the costs mount up, and they mount up quickly.
During the 2013 shutdown, banks such as JP Morgan Chase created stopgap programs to defer mortgage payments for government employees until such time that their pay was reinstated. Chase's stopgap waived all late fees and associated costs and reporting for the entire month of October, so long as they paid their mortgages before Oct. 31.
While that sounds fantastic, had the shutdown gone on for a couple of months, as some employees feared, once they were able to pay their mortgages again, they only had 30 days to get caught up before Chase would decide they were in default. Making one mortgage payment is hard enough for many families. To have to make two, or more, in 30 days, without knowing when their back pay would be coming (or whether they'd get back pay at all, as was the case with furloughed employees), could have been impossible.
That's just mortgages. That doesn't include all the employees who couldn't pay rent; landlords all over the country likely had different ideas of how to handle these people who couldn't pay their rent, through no fault of their own. And this doesn't touch other living expenses, like food, utilities, and possibly childcare. The Los Angeles Times ran piece back then that spotlighted the hardships rank-and-file government employees faced at the time.
For employees who still have to work during a shutdown, there are commuting costs. They still need their train tickets, bus tickets, gas money, cab fare, or whatever they pay for however they get to work. So, in addition to the financial insecurity of being unable to pay any living expenses, they still have to pay for their transportation to and from jobs for which they aren't getting paid.
Back then, some members of Congress voluntarily gave up their pay in solidarity with the employees they were hurting with their actions. Then we had idiots like Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC), who insisted that she needed her paycheck. Government employees who heard that likely wanted to say, "Oh, boo-hoo. Our hearts bleed pink carbonated peanut butter for you."
The House did introduce a bill that would halt Congressional pay if any part of the government shuts down, and put it into an escrow account until the shutdown ends. However, during the 2013 shutdown, several similar bills never made it out of committee. It'd be interesting to see if this one does. Having a personal stake in a matter like this could make them think twice about the fact that playing their stupid games badly affects real people.

Mango Chicken Stir Fry
Ever since we discovered that the hubby isn't actually allergic to the fruit of the mango, it's time to catch up on all that mango-deliciousness that we have been missing out on for years. Our supermarket has a mango display before you even get into the store now, and I think they were calling to my husband. I looked over at the fruit basket this morning and asked him if he had a plan for the mangoes that he was compelled to buy. He didn't. I had no clue how to work them into a paleo meal since I never actually cooked with mango before last week, but I threw together this dish with hopes that it would turn out well. It did!

Tropical Shrimp Salad
You learn something new every day! Did you know that the same substance that makes people allergic to poison ivy is in the skin of a mango? I have spent my entire relationship with my hubby refraining from eating mango because he had a reaction to it. Well, we just found out that it's just the peel of it, so as long as I had it all prepared we could enjoy it! Thank goodness, because this meal was delicious! As the weather is warming up, fresh crisp salads seem to taste even better than usual!

Although mankind has made numerous academic and technological strides, religious experts including Rabbi Pinchas Taylor, author of the book, "Pillars of Faith" say that religion will continue to have relevance in the 21st century and beyond, no matter the inventions.
"With all the frills that have come about through our technological boom, the relevance of religion, belief, and spirituality remains," he said. "At the end of the day our advances, cannot answer the vital questions which behoove a person to reflect upon in life: 'Who am I?' 'Why am I here?' 'How then shall I live?'"
Religion, Taylor believes, is a roadmap to a life-long journey.
"I see my faith, which is based in the Torah, as being 'night-vision goggles,'" Taylor said. "The purpose of which is to allow one to see in a world full of darkness. Also, we live in a society where situations may appear to be 'good' but are ultimately harmful. Religion provides a sense of clarity."
Although the concept of religion in the 21st century is a difficult subject to understand for some, the idea of "belief" and "faith" in a specific conviction are not mutually interchangeable, said Clayton C. Johnsen, a computer science major at Western Illinois University.
"I find difficulty in answering whether or not religion is relevant in the year 2017," Johnsen said. "In the grand scheme of things, religion was a way to help give faith to the faithless and reasons for why situations occurred before scientific explanation came along. For example, in my religion of Asatru, our 'Adam and Eve' came from logs of wood found floating in the ocean after Ymir was killed to create the Earth. With that in mind, if someone asked me if I believe in the 'Big Bang' Theory or that we are all descendants of wood I would pick the scientific response over my religious response. In other words, my belief system lies within scientific proof while my faith in spirituality lies in Asatru."
Asatru is a modern revival of the ancient Norse Pagan religion that believes that the Gods live in each of us.
Regardless of whether or not it is relevant in the 21st century, Taylor said that religion does build social capital – it helps to improve the lives of other people – despite historical controversies.
"'Good Samaritan' acts and volunteering of your time are all results of religion," Taylor said. "Although some religions do have unfortunate histories of causing bloodshed. Only a small minority of recorded wars were primarily motivated by religious disputes."
An eight-year Pew Research Center study shows that the observance of religion in the United States has dwindled. But, the fundamental belief in "something higher," a "God," or overall "spirituality" has remained the same.
And this being the case, Taylor said that the method of communicating the core tenants of spirituality to people could use a bit of fine tuning for this era.
"People have become disenfranchised with religion, and that's understandable," Taylor said. "But, I would encourage people not to give up hope. The world is becoming more and more decadent and dependent on technology as a distraction. That's why there is a lot of room for improvement in the delivery of a religion's message. A change in presentation such as using platforms like YouTube will in-turn, reinvigorate religious observance in a fun way. And that's not a bad thing to do for the greater good of society."

Three Rotherham men have been jailed following the first trial from the National Crime Agency's (NCA) Inquiry into historical sex abuse in Rotherham.
Operation Stovewood was set up by the NCA to investigate child abuse and sexual exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 to 2013.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how the actions of three men had ruined a victim's teenage years. Sajid Ali 38, Zaheer Iqbal 40 and Riaz Makhmood 39 were convicted of 15 counts of indecent assault.
In an impact statement, the victim described that she, "was 12 years old at the time the abuse began in the mid 1990s. She had not been popular at school when she started spending time with Ali, Iqbal and Makhmood, who she knew as 'Sos, Booty and Raz', as they had made her feel wanted.
She believed Ali was her boyfriend but within weeks of meeting them they began to talk about sex. She had not been forced to do anything but the men, who were teenagers at the time, had made her feel that she should."
The statement, which was read by Prosecutor Sophie Drake, stated that the abuse had caused the victim to suffer from "eating disorders, anxiety and depression."
"I've tried everyday to put these things behind me and while I manage most of the time they still haunt me."
All three men denied the charges, with Ali even denying that he knew the victim.
In passing the sentence the Judge said, "The offences involved the exploitation and abuse by all three of you together of what at the time was a young and vulnerable girl. She was groomed, coerced and intimidated, she was called abusive names and she was treated like a thing, a thing that you passed around among yourselves."
Ali, of James Street, Masbrough, Rotherham, was convicted of seven counts of indecent assault and jailed for seven-and-a-half years.
Iqbal, of St John's Avenue, Masbrough, was found guilty of five counts of indecent assault and given a seven-and-a-half year prison sentence.
Makhmood, of Falding Street, Masbrough was convicted of three counts of indecent assault and jailed for six years and nine months.
Paul Williamson, from the NCA made the following statement: "Our mission is to make Rotherham a hostile environment for anyone who has committed child sexual exploitation during the period of our operation."
