Educational and Training Adjustments in Selected Apprenticeable Trades. Final Report, Volume 1.
Drew, Alfred S.
This study was undertaken to provide suggestions for developing an optimum system of training in the apprenticeable trades. Data were obtained from personal interviews and from roughly 9,000 questionnaires which were returned by apprentices, journeymen, instructors, employers, union officials, teacher educators, counselors, training coordinators, and high school students. Recommendations were made with regard to philosophy, recruiting, training, administration, training environment, period of indenture, and adjustment to technological change. (BH)

Overcast with no wind here in Turangi this morning. All rivers are fishable. Looks like more rain is forecast for the weekend. This should bring more fish though the rivers if we get extra volume to them.
Andrew headed out on the Tongariro River yesterday afternoon for a flick and managed to land 4 fish with the last one a nice cracker fish. Unfortunately he keeps leaving his Memory Card stuck in the computer and forgot to put it back in his camera .... so sorry no photos .... he looks to have forgotten most of his flies and ended up only having a blue glo bug which looks like it did the trick !
I received another email and photo overnight thanks to John Pocock. It appears to be another "Fishy Story". John writes:

There's power in doing things in secret
My first experience with running was so completely new to me that I often sought feedback from others. I reported every miniscule insight to my veteran running friends. I wrote about fitness or running nearly every other post. That was fine for then because I was new. But this time around has afforded me some much needed perspective. There is absolutely no reason to broadcast every little thing I do. I'm just not that important and no one is that interested. Period. Besides, there's something to be said about working toward a goal in secret. When you consistently hit the trail and put in the work without thinking about the cute selfie you want to take at the end of the workout, you build your character. It's not about anyone else. The goal is about you. A basic life principal is this: whatever is done in secret will eventually be revealed. Don't waste time boasting when you're in the process. It undermines your effort.
You must learn to encourage yourself
My first time out I had more consistent support. I had a personal trainer who did many of my runs with me. This time, I might run with a friend every once and a while, but it's mainly been me. Interestingly enough, no matter how good I'm feeling when I start my run, I almost immediately start talking myself out of going as far as I intended. If I planned to do four laps around the lake, I want to let myself off easy and just do two. The thoughts of quitting occur right away and come in such a rapid fire manner that I lose count how many times I hear, "Just stop. You don't have to go all the way. You've gone far enough." It's obviously much easier to push through them when you have a running buddy. But sometimes in life, you don't always have someone else there to push you through. You must learn to encourage yourself just the way a coach or trainer might encourage you. You have to tell yourself, "Don't quit. Come on, you got this. Keep breathing. You're doing great. Almost there. Finish strong." When those persevering thoughts finally drown out the quitting thoughts, then I get a second wind and run even faster than before.
Maintain motivation between the monumental moments
Let's face it. Every runner feels like a rock star on race day. It's exhilarating. You get your bib. You chit chat with other runners. You feel the anticipation as people wait at the starting line. You feel energized when strangers call you by name (they're just reading your bib, mind you, but still) and cheer you on. You usually get your fill of food and beer or wine at the end. And of course, you get a medal of completion and bragging rights for the rest of the day. All of that combined almost makes you forget the $50, $60, $70 or more that you paid for the experience. Nevertheless, race day produces a high and it keeps folks coming back. That's all fine and well, but what happens between races? Can you lace up and consistently hit the trail when no one is cheering you on, when the weather conditions aren't perfect, when your time is slower than your record because your body just isn't feeling it? Can you be diligent, faithful, and committed when it's boring? The test of character isn't in how you meet the monumental challenges of a moment but how you conduct yourself between moments. Anyone can perform on command. It's the pattern of conduct, the habits of person's lifestyle that reveals who you really are.
Those are just some of my thoughts from training this time around. I imagine each training period will hold new revelations and each race will be different from the previous. I kind of like that. Each training period has its own story and its own theme. The theme for this time around is that if I ever have to go at something alone, I can do it. It's not necessarily my preference and it's not always necessary for each season of life. But if ever it's called for me to run my race solo, I can do it because I have what it takes to endure.

My husband and I both love to travel. In fact, one of our favorite things to do on the weekend is to drive around to random areas near where we live and explore. One of these trips included our very random trip to Scranton by way of Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania.
I recently spoke about how to save money while planning a trip, but what if you cannot afford to travel? What if traveling is not so much saving money while planning for it, but having enough money to go on a trip, period?
The truth is, while my husband and I love traveling, we are far from rich and are often limited by our finances. However, we've been learning how to appease our love for traveling without spending a lot of money that we honestly do not have.
So how do you travel on a budget? How do you satisfy the travel bug in you without necessarily spending thousands and thousands of dollars? I have some tips for you that have worked for us in allowing us to travel more, even though we're on a strict budget.

So you want newborn pics.
That's great!
Newborn photos take some patience, but they are so worth it. This is such a memorable, fleeting time, it only makes sense to slow it down a bit by capturing it with photos.
For the best newborn photos, you'll want to schedule pics to happen within the first 10 days of your baby's life. I know, I know. How are you supposed to do that when the miracle of life is somewhat unpredictable? Call or email me near the start of your third trimester (or before), and I will pencil in your expected delivery date. I know this date is a guess, but as long as I know what time frame we're working with, fitting in photos of your little one won't be a problem whenever he or she (or they!) decides to make an appearance.
Newborn sessions typically last anywhere from 3 to 4 hours. The session fee includes the photographer's time and talent only. Prints and digital negatives are available for purchase separately. Print and digital collections begin at $199 or can be purchased a la carte.
When you schedule a newborn session, you will be asked to pay a $100 deposit to hold your date. All locations outside Chicago city limits may be subject to a travel fee.
Book three shoots in the same 365 day period and receive 50% off your final session fee. In my opinion, the best series is a newborn shoot, 6 month shoot, and first birthday shoot.
In addition, get 25% off album prices to commemorate your baby's year.
Since before the babies come the bellies, we can't forget about a maternity session. When you book a newborn session, you have the option to purchase a discounted maternity session.
Maternity session fees are $200 and include 5 high resolution digital images. Maternity sessions are for moms and dads only.

Sheena has had a cluster of parties that she has been making the most of. She is very keen on blowing candles out (absolutely ignoring the fact that it isn't her birthday), and loves a good old Happy Birthday tune.
She is now joining a lot of signs together. Mostly just 2 signs, or a sign and a word approximation, like "two shoes", or "Roy Roy's Food". Today we told her that Roy had done a poo and that we wanted her to help clean up his poo just to keep her nice and involved. She got poo and shoe mixed up and went and got his shoes. Quite the little helper.... hmmm.
Here she is riding Poppy, her friend's pony.

Hi there. Jax did have infantile spasms, along with other types of siezures. He went into status in January of last year, and that almost killed him, they had to put him into a medically induced coma to try and stop them. Thats when they started him on the ketogenic diet. So he is on that, topamax, kepra, and phenobarb for his siezures.

KABGAYI, Rwanda -- The land is disarmingly lush at first. Before reaching the eerie emptiness that grips the killing fields, the aid convoy passes through hills thickly cultivated with coffee, bananas, beans and sorghum -- the places to hide.
There aren't stacks of bodies here, but death lingers. It greets the aid workers, and a reporter traveling with them, as they make one of their first expeditions into southern and central Rwanda since it became too deadly to stay in the country.
On an open field beneath a hill between the Burundi border and Butare, a university town in southern Rwanda, the convoy stops where two bodies lie on their backs, bloated in the sun and about 100 yards apart. One appears to be a woman; the other, its head buzzing with flies and its tongue protruding, appears to be a man.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - The Gold Rush Exchange, a organization that supplies the Gold Investment Guide to these who sign up online, has introduced an on-line resource to assist folks uncover gold IRA Firms. Picking the correct a single can be a challenge. That is why 15 important aspects to appear out for are listed and explained on the internet site, so 1 knows how to protect their gold 401(k) or retirement assets.
The flood of gold-mad prospectors in late 48 and early 49, nevertheless, designed a demand for banking. Henry M. Naglee opened the initial bank in the city on Portsmouth Square on January 9, 1849. James King of William was a banker in the 50s who forsook the counting home for the unsafe life of an editor.
At the start of the gold rush California was invest in gold . Whoever identified gold could preserve it and had the appropriate to dig it out of the earth. While only couple of men and women became genuinely wealthy digging for gold, California attracted thousands of individuals who set up a variety of sorts of organizations. A single of them was Levi Strauss who began selling jeans in San Francisco in the 1850s. Other people opened up retailers and other shops for miners.
Apart from specialist suggestions relating to safe, secure and lucrative Gold IRA investment, The Gold Rush Exchange has also published a list of Best Rated Gold IRA organizations and also their extensive evaluations. The companies incorporated in The Gold Rush Exchange's list of Prime Rated Gold IRA firms are: REGAL ASSETS, Wholesale Metals Direct, Birch Gold Group, Lexi Capital, Cornerstone Bullion, CERTIFIED Gold Exchange, Goldco Direct, Monex, , and Blanchard & Organization, Inc.
Inspired by James Mason Hutchings' well-known letter sheet, The Miners' Ten Commandments (1853), this beautifully colored 1887 print functions 14 vignettes illustrating mining scenes, mining camps, seeing the elephant, a miner's dance, gamblers in a saloon, and crossing the plains. A version of Hutchings' text is integrated.

Sock pics
Oooops! I showed it to him. "That's Belgium!" Oh, geeez! So I unraveleded...again! And came up with this.
Ok, much better. :0) And he's much happier. Nothing worse than upside down socks during a World Cup, for God's sake! And I can assure you they will be worn each and every game....at 3:00am.
I just received this in the mail! The patterns are fantastic. I got it from Arnhild. She is absolutely lovely. I am hoping to do some ordering with her soon for one of the patterns in Norsk Strikkedesign.
Here are a couple of photos from my back alley. They aren't in full bloom yet, but I couldn't resist the pics.

Preview Abstract Abstract
Daniel Clark
(Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)
In order to achieve the several hundred Gbar stagnation pressures necessary for inertial confinement fusion ignition, implosion experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) require the compression of deuterium-tritium fuel layers by a convergence ratio as high as forty. Such high convergence implosions are subject to degradation by a range of perturbations, including the growth of small-scale defects due to hydrodynamic instabilities, as well as longer scale modulations due to radiation flux asymmetries in the enclosing hohlraum. Due to the broad range of scales involved, and also the genuinely three-dimensional (3-D) character of the flow, accurately modeling NIF implosions remains at the edge of current radiation hydrodynamics simulation capabilities. This talk describes the current state of progress of 3-D, high-resolution, capsule-only simulations of NIF implosions aimed at accurately describing the performance of specific NIF experiments. Current simulations include the effects of hohlraum radiation asymmetries, capsule surface defects, the capsule support tent and fill tube, and use a grid resolution shown to be converged in companion two-dimensional simulations. The results of detailed simulations of low foot implosions from the National Ignition Campaign are contrasted against results for more recent high foot implosions. While the simulations suggest that low foot performance was dominated by ablation front instability growth, especially the defect seeded by the capsule support tent, high foot implosions appear to be dominated by hohlraum flux asymmetries, although the support tent still plays a significant role. Most importantly, it is found that a single, standard simulation methodology appears adequate to model both implosion types and gives confidence that such a model can be used to guide future implosion designs toward ignition.

Garden fairy
Isabella had a great morning where she got to lie on the grass for the first time.
She stepped on it cautiously and then her steps got excited. She was giddy in the excitement of nature. I let her explore the flowers which mean she picked several in her left hand. Seeing how she enjoyed her activity, I am more determined to complete my garden for her sake.
Letting children wander freely in a safe environment has many benefits. Children need to be let go to experiment and experient. That is why playground is a good place for daily visits. If you wonder why your children are too willful, active and out of control? Maybe that is because they are in a rebellious state due to boredom.
No matter how busy we are, we still have so much to be thankful for. We might not have the luxury of the time to always stroll with her in the park like others but we can still spend quality time exploring nature together just outside our house.
So lets make use of what we have and enjoy it to the fullest:)

'It definitely changed our lives'
The recovery from the April tornado in Dyer County, Tenn., is near completion, and there's a move now to educate people for the next possible disaster.
BY HEATHER MOYER | DYERSBURG, Tenn. | February 21, 2007
It wasn't about being a Methodist or a Baptist, it's about being a servant of God. We worked together.
Bill Carr
The recovery from the April tornado in Dyer County, Tenn., is near completion, and there's a move now to educate people for the next possible disaster.
The Rev. Robert Craig, associate pastor of First United Methodist Church in Dyersburg, Tenn., said he's helping lead a disaster response training at the church this weekend for anyone who's interested. "We'll mostly teach the most appropriate way to respond in the wake of a disaster," said Craig, who is also the volunteer coordinator for Dyer County Disaster Recovery Services Committee.
"Most people want to jump right in and help, but we want to teach the things people need to do for their own safety and for the safety of those who are doing the immediate response. We'll also focus on the initial versus the long-term response, how to be more coordinated and how to be most effective with the resources you can offer."
The skills have been learned by the county long-term recovery committee (LTRC) since last spring when a deadly tornado struck the county, killing more than 20 people and damaging or destroying hundreds of homes across the region. Craig said through excellent coordination and cooperation amongst the various relief agencies and county organizations, the long-term recovery for Dyer County is now wrapping up.
"Our group, through donations, has been able to help many of the families replace furniture, repair homes, clean lots or just whatever they needed to try and get their lives back to normal," said Lisa Ramm, the county's LTRC president.
Craig said the LTRC handled around 160 cases since April, and said the committee helped families with no insurance or insufficient insurance.
Bill Carr said he was amazed at how quickly the LTRC moved forward, choosing to meet weekly and handle the needs as best and fast as they could. "They were relentless," said Carr, a disaster recovery coordinator with the Memphis Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. "They did their job and they did it well. My hat's off to them and all those who stepped up."
Carr did his part by leading volunteers who came to help the families repair or rebuild homes. He said many of the affected residents moved in with family and so much of the home rebuilds were really adding new rooms or "apartments" onto existing homes. Through help from United Methodist Volunteers in Mission teams, Mennonite Disaster Service, numerous local churches and many other national denominations, Carr said the work got done together.
"It wasn't about being a Methodist or a Baptist, it's about being a servant of God. We worked together."
The outpouring of support from volunteers and from agencies near and far was overwhelming at times for both Craig and the families being helped. "It was such a meaningful thing for me to see, all of these folks responding to their neighbors' needs. It was a great opportunity to work with these folks and the opportunity to see many of them live out their faith. It was really moving to the families, too. There were lots of tears shed. Many relationships were formed, and some families and volunteers still call or email each other to stay in touch."
Only a few cases remain for the LTRC, said Craig. Carr added that one of the lingering needs his volunteers will address now is the remaining debris in farmers' fields.
The emotional and psychological impact of the tornadoes lingers as well. The LTRC members made sure to offer counseling and hold community gatherings to address that need, said Craig. "There's still fear. Any time there's a call for a thunderstorm, there's a fear for those folks who went through it. That's probably true for everyone in the county, but it's especially true for those who were in the path. The kids, too. When it thunders, they cry."
Like Carr said about some residents choosing to move in with family, Craig estimates that around 25% of those who lived in the path of the April tornado did not build back where they had been. He added that many lots where families were killed remained vacant.
This weekend's disaster response training is a move to keep disaster response and readiness in the front of people's minds. The LTRC will continue to meet as well, Craig added, not only to address the last few cases, but to also talk about future response.
"Heaven forbid this should happen again, but I do think we're a lot better prepared now than we were. It has definitely changed our lives."

Rotary hoes are a useful cultivation tool for your garden. They are great for removing weeds and loosening compacted soil. They encourage crop emergence and reduce soil crusting without causing soil compaction.
A rotary hoe can help turn a tedious task into a not so tedious task by mechanising the job and reducing time and effort.
A rotary hoe can turn and loosen the soil better than a shovel and fork, much like mixing a cake in a bowl with an electric whisk is better than a spoon by hand.

Experts predict that the cancer burden can be reduced through screening and early detection, as many cancers yield a greater probability of cure and less morbidity when patients are diagnosed and treated early and adequately.
However, roughly 70% of deaths caused by cancer occur in low- and middle- income countries, where diagnostic and treatment services are often inadequate or inaccessible. While over 90% of high-income countries reported having pathology and treatment services generally available, less than 30% of low-income countries reported likewise.
Multidisciplinary approach in treating patients with cancer
Besides treating cancer patients, oncologists also conduct cancer screening for the general population or individuals who are at risk of developing cancer, and are heavily involved in genetic research and clinical trials of potential cancer treatment as well. These specialists also coordinate palliative care in patients with terminal diseases, and are skilled in handling ethical issues that may arise in treatment of cancer, such as patient autonomy.
Although oncologists work closely with other specialists such as radiologists, pathologists and surgeons when treating patients with cancer, the approach in cancer therapy is often co-ordinated by the oncologist.
The field of oncology has several major branches. For instance, medical oncologists use chemotherapy or other forms of anti-cancer medication such as targeted therapy to treat cancers, surgical oncologists perform biopsies and surgical removal of tumours, while radiation oncologists treat cancer with radiation therapy.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, oncologists rely on diagnostic tools such as tissue biopsies and examination of specimens under a microscope, imaging studies including X-Rays, CT and MRI scans as well as ultrasounds, radiological techniques such as scintigraphy and nuclear medicine.
However, the most important diagnostic tool in oncology is a complete medical history of the patient, and oncologists are experts in identifying symptoms that point towards the possible diagnosis of cancer.
More oncologists needed to win the race against cancer
A study by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2007 predicted that incidences of cancer would soon outpace oncology services. In 2014, an analysis anticipated that demand for oncology services will grow by 40% by the year 2025, while supply may only increase by 25%.
"Unless oncologist productivity can be enhanced, the anticipated shortage will strain the ability to provide quality cancer care," wrote authors of the study.
Unfortunately, Malaysia is already facing critical shortage of oncologists – with only less than half of the number of specialists needed nationwide. According to the president of the Malaysian Oncological Society, Dr Matin Mellor Abdullah, the country only has 105 to 110 oncologists in both private and public health sectors.
In order to meet the recommended 10 to one million specialist-to-population ratio however, "we will need to have between 240 and 300 oncologists," he said.
The health ministry has offered more scholarships for doctors to take up oncology, and even invited Malaysian oncologists who are currently practicing overseas to return home in order to improve the number of specialists in the country.
Besides a shortage of oncologists, the number of cancer cases is increasing worldwide, and numbers are expected to rise by about 70% over the next 20 years. Following the global trend, Singapore has seen higher number of cancer cases over the past few years. According to statistics by the National Registry of Diseases Offices, 13,416 individuals were diagnosed with cancer in 2014 – a huge increase from 12,651 and 11,341 in 2013 and 2010 respectively.
"This trend remains a concern as it means we have not been making much headway in the prevention of cancers," said director of the National University Cancer Institute, Associate Professor Chng Wee Joo. MIMS

Smart fabrics Sourcing
We at GarmentsSourcing.com also work with Special vendors to source Smart Fabric garments.
Smart fabrics are also defined as High Tech.

Today, the interaction of human individuals with electronic devices demands specific user skills. In future, improved user interfaces can largely alleviate this problem and push the exploitation of microelectronics considerably. In this context the concept of smart clothes promises greater user-friendliness, user empowerment, and more efficient services support. Wearable electronics responds to the acting individual in a more or less invisible way. It serves individual needs and thus makes life much easier. We believe that today, the cost level of important microelectronic functions is sufficiently low and enabling key technologies are mature enough to exploit this vision to the benefit of society. In the following, we present various technology components to enable the integration of electronics into textiles. Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that have electronics and interconnections woven into them. Components and interconnections are a part of the fabric and thus are much less visible and, more importantly, not susceptible to becoming tangled together or snagged by the surroundings. Consequently, e-textiles can be worn in everyday situations where currently available wearable computers would hinder the user. E-textiles also have greater flexibility in adapting to changes in the computational and sensing requirements of an application.The number and location of sensor and processing elements can be dynamically tailored to the current needs of the user and application,rather than being fixed at design time.
As the number of pocket electronic products(mobile phone, palm-top computer, personal hi-fi, etc.) is increasing, itmakes sense to focus on wearable electronics, and start integratingtoday's products into our clothes. The merging of advanced electronicsand special textiles has already begun.
Wearable computers can now merge seamlessly into ordinary clothing. Using various conductive textiles, data and power distribution as well as sensing circuitry can be incorporated directly into wash-and-wear clothing.

Fiber 101 continued
We covered protein fibers last time - basically anything that originated with an animal or insect. I'll talk about cellulose next, and give some very basic information on the man-made fibers. These are springing up so fast that details are out of date before you can publish them - even on the web! I do think it's interesting that so many of them are attempts to imitate silk. As a confirmed silk addict, I've yet to see any of the synthetic fibers completely measure up to the original, but rayon, soy, ingeo and tencel all have their good points. Interestingly, silk is usually less expensive to spinners than many of these imitations!
I close with some things that I think about when beginning a new project. Take a look, see what you think, and let me know what you think yourself!
Cellulose Fibers
Cotton lint is the surrounding material for the seeds of the cotton plant. Cotton comes in hundreds of varieties and dozens of natural colors. There are many varieties available worldwide. It is a fine-diameter cellulose fiber that is fairly short, with individual fibers ranging from ½ inch to 2 ¼ inches in length. The longer Pima, Egyptian and Sea Island fibers are the luxury standard for cotton. Most of the cotton grown for household uses in the United States is Acala, a short-staple, fine, shiny fiber with little natural wax.
Cotton requires a long, hot growing season with plentiful rainfall. It is also quite hard on the soil; cotton fields should be rotated with nitrogen-rich crops in a minimum one year of cotton and three years of legume or alfalfa ratio. These requirements make cotton a tropic or sub-tropic plant. Cotton can be grown in East Tennessee, but you'll only harvest about one year out of four – the other years frost will get the crop. (It's also illegal at this point to plant cotton in East Tennessee - we're in a buffer zone for the boll weevil.)
These growing requirements made cotton a 'luxury' fiber until the invention of the cotton gin in the late eighteenth century. It's hard to believe that this staple of our day-to-day clothing was ever more expensive than wool or linen, but until the late 1700's this was so. The cotton gin and mechanized spinning, however, made cotton fiber and yarn much more affordable.
The labor-intensive cotton agriculture business was one of the main economic justifications for slavery in both the pre-civil-war United States and other countries. Until after World War II all cotton had to be harvested by hand. It is still harvested by hand in much of the world. Having grown a dozen cotton plants each of the past three years (with no crop to show for it yet), I can testify that the idea of acres of these plants is much more work than I want to try!
Cotton can be spun into singles of thicknesses ranging from finer than a human hair to fingering-weight. It is usually spun rather fine and plied to the desired diameter, since larger-diameter cotton yarns tend to wear badly – they get quite fuzzy very quickly. Cotton wicks moisture away from the skin, making it an ideal fiber choice for hot climates and seasons, and the very fine yarns can be woven or knitted into gauzy fabrics that are quite comfortable even in hot, humid weather.
Cotton is heavier than the same yardage of most wool yarns (wool as in sheep's wool). This means that it should be knitted or crocheted at a tighter gauge, with a smaller needle, than a comparable-diameter wool yarn. This will avoid having the fabric stretch from its own weight. Gravity can't be fought, but you can compensate for its effects! Cotton has no crimp, and so little or no stretch. This means no recovery with washing, and the necessity for making all the stretch necessary for a garment a part of the fabric structure. Mixtures of cotton and man-made fibers have a little more stretch, but aren't as cool to wear. Wonderful yarns are made from cotton and silk in combination, but this yarn also needs to be swatched carefully and mindfully.
As knitters, you may find cotton rather harder on the hands than wool, especially if you have a touch of arthritis. The lack of stretch means that you'll need smaller needles than those needed for comparable weight sheep's wool. And a non-stretchy fiber makes forming the stitches slightly more difficult. But cotton can't be beat for summer sweaters and shawls, or light baby clothes!
Most cotton yarns can be machine washed and tumble-dried quite successfully. There are some exceptions out there, though, so check the yarn label carefully!
Flax/Linen, Hemp and Nettle
All three of these are bast fibers, with similar properties and identical methods of production. The fibers are retted from the plant stems in a long, labor-intensive process. Flax is the name of the plant from which linen thread is derived. Hemp and nettle are becoming more common, but are still not yarns you'll find at the usual local hobby or big-box shop.
These are the longest of the natural fibers except for silk. Individual fibers range from the very fine fibers of plants grown in rich soil to very coarse fibers from plants grown in poor soils. Linen especially is easy to grow in almost any region. Many people plant flax in gardens just for the lovely blue flowers, and don't even know that they have a good source of fiber along with the flowers.
All three fibers are processed in the same way. I've grown flax several times and obtained wonderful fiber, but I live on river-bottom land. Seeds are sown thickly in a well-tilled plot in mid-spring. A fence is frequently put around a flax patch to keep the plants upright, and chicken-wire or a string grid mounted up the fence and across the patch at vertical intervals of 6-12 inches. The tall plants will grow through the interstices and stay relatively straight. The chicken-wire also serves to slightly discourage rabbits.
After the plants have flowered and seed pods formed, they're pulled from the ground and laid out to dry in the sunshine. After drying, the stalks are carefully threshed to glean the seeds. Then the stalks are either stored until spring or retted immediately.
Retting involves rotting the woody part of the stems to loosen them from the fibers. I fill a large tub with water and sink the stalks, weighting them just enough to keep them under the water level. Water is changed every couple of days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to rot the woody stems sufficiently to be able to pull fiber loose. The stems are removed from the water at that point and again dried out.
The retted and dried stems are broken loose from the fibers with a flax brake or a wooden scutch and sword. Then a handful of stems at a time are combed through successively finer hackling combs until you have the longest, finest fibers. These are spun for line linen. The waste – short or broken fibers – is used to spin tow.
All bast fibers have several things in common. The top-quality yarn of each type will be very smooth and strong. The tow yarns will be very hairy and prickly, much like burlap sacking. The yarns have good body, but no stretch – all the 'give' in the fabric must come from its construction. The good news is that knitted bast fabrics don't crease and wrinkle as much as their woven cousins. All three fibers are cool, wicking moisture away from the body and drying quickly. Linen, especially, is quite absorbent, able to retain more than four times its weight in liquid.
Nettle is absolutely the finest of the bast fibers, but is also the most costly. It is difficult to grow, difficult to process, and large amounts of plant materials are required to make a small amount of yarn. It is, however, almost as shiny as silk and quite fine in diameter. It is the supplest of the bast fibers as well, and the drape of a nettle fabric will be similar to silk.
Linen is next, with the best linen fibers rivaling nettle for fineness. It is somewhat easier to process (you don't have to deal with the nettles). Linen comes in many grades, and you'll want to shop carefully. Dye lots are especially important with linen threads, since not only the individual dye-pots but the crops themselves vary so much in color from year to year.
Hemp is becoming more and more popular. It isn't as costly as either of the other two, probably because it is the easiest of the three to process. Don't make the mistake of thinking all hemp is like that used for teenagers' beaded bracelets. High-quality hemp yarns are smooth, supple and shiny, almost identical to line linen of the same weight.
All bast fiber yarns should be knit only after careful swatching. Linen is lighter than cotton, but still heavier than wool yarns of similar grist. Stitches and fabrics will stretch while wearing. However, linen (or any bast fiber) is especially suited for summer sweaters, fine laces, and household items. Knitting is similar to cotton, with the accompanying caveats about the possible difficulties on the hands magnified, since bast fibers tend to be rather stiff until washed a few times.
Care is simple, and similar to other knitted items. Bast fabrics should be either hand or machine washed in warm water, spun quickly to remove excess water (or rolled in a towel), and laid flat to dry. Lace items should be blocked quite severely. These are the only knitted fabrics that will benefit from ironing. Hard pressing with lots of steam should be a part of the finishing for any bast fabric. And that same sort of pressing will revitalize many older linen fabrics.
Bast fibers are some of the longest-lasting fibers. There are examples of linen and hemp fabrics in many museum collections; some are dated as among the oldest textiles found to date.
General notes on cellulose fibers
All plant fibers are much more difficult to dye than protein fibers. Scouring with harsh chemicals so that dye can penetrate the fiber shaft is necessary. Cotton is the easiest fiber to dye in a home setting. I suggest Rit dye for experimentation, and Procyon-brand substantive dyes for intensive exploration. But dyeing large amounts of these fibers takes dedicated equipment and a certain amount of care. I recommend Google and your local library for additional information.
Man-Made Fibers
There are two main classifications of man-made fibers – those made from petroleum-based chemical products and those made from various recycled or waste agriculture products. There are many new and exciting fibers in the second category, but the most common fibers right now are those in the first category. Let's take a look at them first.
Petro-chemical fibers
Nylon and polyester and acrylics (the oldest polyamides) are the first of these that come to mind, since they've been around the longest. The various microfibers are newer versions. These fibers are all created by dissolving petro-chemicals or their derivates in a specific mixture and then forcing the liquid through spinnerets under high pressure. The liquids are extruded into jets of air that dry the resulting fibers quickly, and are then spun in a similar fashion to fine cotton. The currently-popular microfibers are produced in this way, but the individual fibers are much smaller in diameter than those of 1960's polyester.
These fibers have several things in common. They're easy-care, machine-washable and dryable, sturdy and don't wrinkle. They're stretchy. The older ones don't transfer heat and moisture well, so they're hot to wear, but the newer polyamides are more breathable, and indeed have been engineered to imitate natural fiber properties as much as possible. This has improved wearing comfort. In order to enhance their wearability, or add easy-cleaning properties to natural fibers, the two are frequently blended. You will see many microfiber or polyamide blends with wool, cashmere, angora, mohair and cotton. These are normally quite successful from a knitter's or crocheter's standpoint, since they offer washability and improved wear while retaining the luxurious feel of the natural fiber.
Superwash sheep's wool is now most commonly created by coating the individual wool fibers with a polyamide. While this increases the diameter of the wool fiber slightly, it does provide machine-washing capability. You should be careful not to tumble superwash wools on high heat, however, since the coating isn't always as heat-proof as you might wish.
Care for polyamides is normally listed as easy; machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on low or medium heat. Caution is advised with ironing or high heat, as it can melt these fabrics! You might also want to think twice and check the label for flame resistance before using them for infant's wear.
Recycled fibers
These are the exciting new fibers I talked about earlier. They range from ecospun, which is basically recycled soda bottles, to soy silk and ingeo, both of which are made from the waste products of soy and corn plants. More are available all the time – one of the latest is made from bamboo fibers and is a good substitute for linen, but with more of a cotton feel.
Ecospun could just as well have gone in the petro-chemical category. It is the name given to fibers made from recycled plastic bottles. Some is shredded quite fine and blended with natural fibers to add washability and extend their wear. Some is simply reprocessed into one of the extruded fibers discussed above. I've had good luck adding this to wool for socks - it increases wear almost as well as nylon.
Tencel is one of the newer fibers made from petrochemicals. It has been engineered for breathability and excellent wear. The feel is rather like silk or supple suede, but Tencel has more stretch and less tensile strength than silk. It is an acceptable substitute for silk, though, and costs less. It is also a good choice for brushed fabrics like ultrasuede.
Soy silk and ingeo are both made from processing byproducts or waste. Technically both are cellulose fibers. They have the shine and smoothness you expect from silk, but should be dyed with cellulose dyes for the best color. These fibers are showing up more and more frequently on yarn shelves. I have spun both, and find the fibers very similar to silk in hand and behavior. They breathe better than most synthetic fibers, and can develop a lovely slight halo with wear that feels rather like suede.
Care labels on yarns should be checked carefully – some of these yarns are machine-wash and tumble dry, some require hand-washing. Tencel, soy silk and ingeo all block well, with only a slight tendency to stretch while wearing.
Choices are yours
Fiber choices abound. Knowing as much as possible about the characteristics of the various possibilities can help you choose the best possible yarn for your project. What follows is a short quiz that might help when you're assessing the fibers and yarns for a new knitting or crochet project. I go through this almost automatically, and it has never let me down - when I've answered the questions honestly rather than getting carried away!
1. What are you making?
2. Where and how will it be used?
3. What care requirements do you have?
4. How much wear will the item receive?
5. Is this to be a classic part of your wardrobe or a currently-stylish accessory?
Once these questions are answered, you have a starting point. The next questions might be along these lines:
6. How much do you have or want to spend on yarn?
7. How do you want the finished fabric to feel?
8. How do you want the finished fabric to look?
9. How much time are you willing to spend?
Only then should you look at things like color and design. We'll discuss a couple of possibilities to give you a feel for how your thought processes might go on a project.
Project 1: I want to make a purse for a young friend. She's very stylish, loves vintage fabrics and is likely to wear classic, well-tailored clothes. She is currently a college student, but will graduate soon and enter the job market as a professional. All right, let's take a stab at the questions.
I'm making a purse. It will be lined. It needs to be sturdy so that it can be carried, with a long handle – preferably one whose length can be adjusted in some fashion. It should stand up to rather heavy wear, but is probably not going to be used for more than a couple of seasons. Being able to wash it in the machine would be a plus, but isn't absolutely necessary.
At this point I'm looking at several possibilities. Cotton, linen, hemp and wool would all wear well, and all are at least hand-washable. Felted wool would be quite sturdy and water-resistant as well. You could brush it clean, and the colors are great. Cotton would also be nice, and comes in bright colors. I'd need to choose a lining carefully and knit on small needles, though – I'd also have to allow for stretching. Hmmm, I'm leaning toward wool, but let's keep going. Linen and hemp would work well, but are harder to clean and knit than wool and cotton.
I don't want to spend a great deal on this, either in money or in time. That pretty much lets out linen and hemp, both of which are more expensive choices than cotton and wool. I'd like the finished fabric to be touchable, something you enjoy tucking under your arm. It should look classic, even somewhat elegant. Cotton tends to look beat-up and old more quickly than wool.
All right, I want a worsted-weight or bulky wool in classic colors – plum, burgundy, cream, dark green or black. I'll knit the bag and then felt it, and line it with some vintage upholstery silk I have in my stash. Straps can be knitted I-cord, felted at the same time as the body of the purse and then sewed on with the lining. It will take about $25 in materials (if I don't have anything I need in my stash already) and a maximum of a week of knitting time, with an extra evening of finishing and sewing.
That wasn't so hard! Now let's try something a little more challenging for Project 2.
I need a sweater to wear for work. It will need to go with my usual gray, black, tan and brown slacks – preferably with any of them – and be wearable in at least three seasons.
For three-season wear I can use cotton, silk, linen, or light-weight wool. Alpaca and cashmere blends might be a little warm for spring and fall, though they would feel wonderful. It needs to be relatively easy-care, either machine washable or easily hand-washable – no dry-cleaning. It will get quite a bit of wear, since my work clothes tend to be worn about once a week. So wear points like underarms and necklines should be abrasion-resistant. That pretty much lets out silk, which abrades quickly. I don't want to spend the money for 9 or 10 skeins of line linen, even though it would work well for the project, and I don't particularly want to knit linen. It needs to look somewhat dressy – nice business attire for wearing on those days when I have meetings with folks from outside my own groups. But I want a touchable, comfortable fabric.
Either wool or cotton will work for this. If I choose wool, it should be in no more than a fingering-weight yarn, and lace-weight would be better, with multiple tightly-spun plies to resist abrasion. Short sleeves would be best; ¾ sleeves are acceptable. Cotton would also work well, but I'd need to allow for the stretch from the extra weight of a cotton yarn. Let's shop for this with an open mind. Look at the sale bins first, and then go on to the shelves. This will be a classic, and I'll wear it for several years, so I can afford to spend a bit more time on it. A natural or pastel color in the red or blue-green color families will work best with my usual dark slacks.
Are you beginning to see how it works? Let's try one last project, simply because it's something you'll do sooner or later. You need a gift for a new baby. This one should be really special (for your own child or grandchild). You want to do something that will be used for the first year or so, but only on special occasions. However, since babies are basically messy creatures, you need to allow for that. Let's say you decide on a baby blanket in a lace stitch with a lace border (I did say it was special). Your choices are many. Wool is classic, and can be bought as superwash to make care easier. Cotton may be a good choice for a baby in the South or Southwest, and is probably the easiest-care choice. Silk is also a possibility, either alone or mixed with either wool or cotton. It gives a drape and shine you won't get with either fiber alone, and can be a little bit warmer than cotton alone. You don't want to use a fuzzy mohair or angora, even in the wintry Northeast, since those fibers tend to make babies sneeze. Tencel is also possible.
This is going to be a lace structure, so the thread should be firmly spun and a minimum of two plies in order to show the pattern to best advantage. Smaller needles will be required to make sure baby fingers don't get caught, so it will take a bit of time to knit.
Surprise! You can use cotton, wool or silk, tencel or a blend of any of these. If the mother won't take proper care of fine sheep's wool, use superwash merino or a superwash/silk blend. Be sure you get something whose label says it's machine-dryable! Cotton can be bleached to get rid of any particularly messy stains. Silk can't be bleached, but a solution of peroxide and water will do a great job of whitening stained areas.
Traditionally, natural white/cream is used for this type of thing, but you can suit yourself. Generally speaking green and yellow are not the best choices for very young children – they make them look slightly jaundiced. Lavender, blue, pink or even brighter colors like red and royal blue are better choices for colored yarns.
Now that you have a good general knowledge of how each fiber will behave in a yarn, you can experiment with more confidence. By all means make choices 'outside the box'. But do it knowing what allowances will have to be made for those choices! And have fun along the way!

Pamela, your site is awesome! Thanks for posting all the information on fibers. Wow!
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the information that can be found on your site - I have been going through some of your archives in my spare time. I am very new to spinning so any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

What wonderful information! I had a question though:
how do you know the different grades when you are shopping around for linen? I live in Egypt and the shops overflow with linen but I really can't tell what is top of the line. Any tips to keep in mind when shopping? Thanks!
This is a great article, and you have a lovely blog that has a lot of useful information.
Thank you for your trouble!

The Tory government have announced that they are pushing ahead with huge cuts to community pharmacy budgets, meaning that pharmacies will face a 12% cut on current funding levels for the rest of this financial year, and a 7.4% cut on current levels the year after.
Research produced by the House of Commons Library shows that up to 20 pharmacies across Lambeth are under threat as a result of these funding cuts and we are very concerned about the damaging impact there could be on our local communities as a result.
In Lambeth we are clear that these funding cuts pose a severe threat to our local community health services. Please support our campaign opposing these cuts to the community pharmacies that residents across Lambeth rely on by signing our petition calling on the government to reconsider.

Small businesses increase IT budgets
July 29th, 2013
Small businesses have increased their IT budgets by 19% over the last six months but they are recruiting 4% fewer IT staff, according to research from IT professional network Spiceworks. Global research of 1000 IT staff working at businesses with less than 1000 staff revealed that the average annual budget was $192,000 in the first six months of 2013 compared to $162,000 in the previous six months.
The spending increases were bigger among smaller SMEs that have under 250 employees, while those with 250 to 999 employees reported an average decline in budgets of 13%. In the first half of last year average budgets were $152,000.
Hardware spending accounted for the largest part of the IT outlay (39%), and 42% of respondents said they were planning on buying tablet devices. Software accounted for 30% of total spend, IT services 19% and cloud and hosted services took up 12% of budgets.
Over half (61%) of the SMEs questioned use at least one cloud-based service. The smallest businesses with less than 20 employees spend 19% of their budgets on cloud services, double that of the average for companies with 20 to 1000 staff.
Server virtualisation is now used by almost three-quarters (72%) of SMEs surveyed, which was 7% higher than the previous six months. Over 80% of businesses with more than 100 employees use the technology.

That means its time for our last Pyramid workout!
Over the last month I've worked through a series of these pyramid workouts: Upper body, Abs and Core, Total Body and now I'm finishing up with a Lower Body Pyramid drill 🙂
Get those legs ready!!!
If you've been doing these pyramid drills with me you are probably a pro at how they work, but here's a reminder just in case:
The Pyramid is made up of 5 exercise. Starting at the bottom of the pyramid with 50 repetitions of squat pulses, you then move up to the 40 repetitions of reverse lunges with a kick and you continue moving up the pyramid … all the way to top and to the 10 scissor jumps. Once at the top, you work your way all the back back down to the bottom. By the end you have worked up the pyramid and back down, having done scissor jumps only once and all the other exercise twice.
Those legs are going to be burning!! Try going through the pyramid 2 or 3 times to really get your heart pumping 🙂
*Helpful Tip – If you are not sure how to do one of the exercise just click on the name in this list to go to a video explaining 'how to' and showing an example – Squat Pulse, Reverse Lunge with Kick, Wide Squat, Jump Squat, Scissor Jumps.
Enjoy your workout!!

All contractors may one day find themselves in between contracts. It is a hazy, lazy limbo like period when one contract has finished and another has not yet begun. In this period, many contractors will no doubt already have a contract lined up, but others may not have anything in the pipeline. This is called being 'On the Bench'.
Contractors who work via limited companies commonly enjoy certain benefits when working within a contract that general employees do not. Advantages such as being able to take impromptu holidays to not having to pay as much income tax is something contractors enjoy, but contracts usually last around a year, and soon contractors may find themselves 'On the Bench'.
There are certain things that self-employed professionals can do in between contracts that may benefit them in future. Further training in a contractor's professional field for example is an advised activity for those in between work, as well as relationship building with future businesses.
Very recently, an example of what NOT to do whilst on the bench emerged in Montana, and it goes beyond frankly bizarre. Most forget contractor insurance, some will even laugh off all mention of IR35, but not everybody manages to get themselves ran over by trying to re-create the second coming of the Yeti…
A man dressed as Bigfoot was apparently trying to provoke reports of a sighting in north western Montana, and was struck by two cars. 'He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting.' The man was wearing a yeti suit and gallivanting around the Montana forests in what can only be imagined as a desperate way of passing precious time in between contracts. (Alcohol may have also been a factor.)
Contractors will all find themselves in between contracts from time to time, and all that can be recommended is that this time should be used productively. Obviously not everybody will be compelled to re-create urban myths, but many do harm their careers by being unproductive and lazy when searching for their next contract and it is advised that those in this position do not fall into the trap of many, who miss chances and future job opportunities.

Chicken Salad with Apple and Basil
Photo: Ngoc Minh Ngo
How to Make It
Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Pound it to an even thinness. Place the chicken in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1/2 inch. Add 3 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until no trace of pink remains, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the scallions and apples and toss.
Drain the chicken and pat it dry. Dice the chicken and add it to the apple mixture along with the peanuts, mint, basil, and the remaining salt and pepper. Toss and divide among individual plates.

A major activity of forest industry is supplying their mills with wood. There are four options for wood procurement: fee land, lease land, landowner assistance programs, and open market. The task of the corporate planner is to allocate the limited budget among these options in such a way that the needed volumes of wood are procured at the least cost. A methodology has been developed to aid in this capital budget in process and has been incorporated in an easy-to-use computer program.

Oh my god! Alia Bhatt faced a bizarre situation on mid-night at nowhere. Alia Bhatt went to her boyfriend Siddarth Malhotra's house and she stayed there till late night. At mid-night 3am she called her bodyguard to escort her back to home. When it comes to celebrities their safety is the main priority and they should have minimum security to keep them safe.
It is the responsibility of the bodyguards to keep their bosses safe and secured. But Alia's bodyguard has done something ridiculous that cost him his job. Alia Bhatt already knew that it's going to be late at Siddarth's house, so she told her bodyguard to stick around.
When Alia Bhatt is about to leave she called her bodyguard to escort Alia back to her house. She tried calling him many times but he didn't responded. After making several calls, her bodyguard came to escort her. But after getting into the car, Alia Bhatt came to know that her bodyguard was drunk.
The bodyguard has drunk too much that he is hardly in conscious. Alia didn't say anything at that time and she sat silently assuming that he might harm her if she says anything. So at midnight 3am Alia Bhatt stayed all alone with a drunken bodyguard in a car. This is really a dangerous situation faced by the actress and she is real brave as she showed her courage at that moment.

At last Alia Bhatt reached home safely but her mother Soni Razdan was very anger on the bodyguard. She fired the bodyguard from the job at early morning. The Dear Zindagi actress skipped a dangerous situation and alerted other heroines to take care regarding their bodyguards.

Eliminating Cybersecurity Blind Spots
How can you reduce unknown and unmanaged risk?
Most organizations lack visibility into their actual risk profile. Blind spots resulting from bring-your-own-devices and the use of unsanctioned SaaS applications often cause an undetected shift upwards of your organization's actual risk profile - a sobering thought.
Get true visibility into your risk profile.
Without complete visibility into all network assets, you cannot effectively answer the questions, "What is our risk" and "Are we secure?" This white paper explores the challenge posed by cybersecurity security blind spots and offers guidance that will help you:
- Gain greater insight into the connection between cybersecurity blind spots and enterprise risk management.
- Improve the effectiveness of your cybersecurity operations by using continuous network monitoring and security metrics to identify, report, and reduce unknown and unmanaged risk.

Just because Robert Redford ("All is Lost") has the most Experts predicting he'll win the Oscar for Best Actor doesn't mean he's comfortably ahead. In fact – according to Gold Derby's statistics, charts and racetrack odds – he's actually tied with Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave").
Twelve Experts back Redford compared to nine for Ejiofor, but both contenders have 12-to-5 odds (29%) because Ejiofor is consistently ranked higher up on all Experts' lists. Three prognosticators foresee a win by Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club").
Check out the chart above (and more charts here) to see how far out front Redford was at the start of the Best Actor derby back in late August. Then "Slave" broke out as a hit at the Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals and Ejiofor took the lead. Now Redford has rallied and pulled even.

The IRS frequently attacks by filing a levy with your bank. This attack wipes out all of your bank accounts, even jointly owned accounts, held in that bank. Without immediate action, you are left unable to pay your bills, including your rent or mortgage, your electric, telephone, your car payment and the money needed to feed your family.
Bank levies can be stopped! However, you only have 21 days to stop the levy and get a Bank Levy Release.After the 21 days, the bank automatically sends the money to the IRS and you are stuck!
The IRS Collectors, known as Revenue Officers send official IRS notices, make threatening calls, and send letters demanding payment. If you either did not get the letters (if, for example the IRS is using an old address) or you did not respond the IRS will start "Enforcement Action" to take your money to collect the delinquent taxes.
The IRS knows your bank accounts from the 1099's filed every year. A Bank levy is not difficult for the IRS. The Revenue Officer simply prints out the forms from the computer showing the name and address of the financial institution (Banks, Credit Unions, Stock Brokerage Accounts) where you keep your money.
The IRS sends
Typically, checks will "bounce" for Insufficient Funds and you will incur substantial bank fees. The bank hold the frozen funds for 21 days.
During the 21 day period your tax attorney can negotiate with the IRS to release the funds. Unless a Release is obtained, once the 21 day period has expired, the bank sends the money to the IRS you will never get it back!
