Laminated Poplin That Doesn’T Allow Water Vapor to Pass Through Types of laminates and coatings There are several types of laminates that will resist moisture. All are applied to lightweight fabrics. The designer is dependent on the R e e mill for specifications regarding the degree of water resistance and v l e p r m breathability. Generally, the more water resistant the laminate, the se a s s id lin thicker it will be. e o op f laminated p Nonporous laminate Produces a waterproof fabric Laminated poplin that doesn’t allow water vapor to pass through.

    Oboh, Ehinomen (2018)Materialising cultures: West African diasporan en- gagement with African print in Britain. Doctoral thesis (PhD), Manchester Metropolitan University. Downloaded from: http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/622448/ Usage rights: Creative Commons: Attribution-Noncommercial-No Deriva- tive Works 4.0 Please cite the published version http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk Materialising Cultures: West African diasporan engagement with African print in Britain A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; Ehinomen Oboh Manchester School of Art Manchester Metropolitan University October 2018 Abstract This thesis addresses a gap in our knowledge about the shifting meanings and practices associated with dress as it moves into diasporic cultural surroundings. Specifically, it looks at West African diasporans living in Britain (WADIB) and their engagements with African print. It does so by gathering stories of WADIB clothing experiences, alongside images of how they acquire, make, wear and keep their clothes. Academic research until recently has focused on dress in Africa, but largely ignored the contemporary use of African prints among diasporan communities. By moving beyond the African setting into a diaspora setting, this research expands our understanding of how meaning in dress is shaped, re-shaped, and more generally, the interrelationship of people and clothes, thus, contributing towards scholarship on contemporary dress in changing cultural contexts. This research also adds the African dress perspective to studies of transnational lives from the standpoint of other diasporans. This study reveals African print as largely a special occasion dress within the British diaspora unlike how it is used on the African continent.

  • The Silk Industry in Dublin by John Joseph Webb in VI.B.8
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 19 (Spring 2019) The Silk Industry in Dublin by John Joseph Webb in VI.B.8 Ian MacArthur and Viviana-Mirela Braslasu Industrial Dublin Since 1698 & The Silk Industry in Dublin - Two Essays by J. J. Webb, published in 1913, can be found online1. The major question as to whether this was Joyce’s source is a difficult one and may never be resolved unless an alternative is found. It seems possible, from the sparing use that Joyce made of J. J. Webb’s book (he only used material from the second essay), that it may be just the source of his source. Perhaps Joyce found an abstract or digest version published later in a magazine or elsewhere. Still, there is an exact correspondence between the notebook entries below, the order recorded, and the text of the above essay. Dublin was at one time famous for its silk industry which had been transplanted from France by Huguenots in the seventeenth century. From a historic point of view, this new enterprise had a major impact on the city itself and on the lives of the people living there. It also brought about a change in costume when silk and poplin became the main fabrics for clothes and ties. Such an important step in the development of the city and in the evolution of the Irish dress could not have been overlooked by Joyce. For the early drafts of Anna Livia Plurabelle, Joyce read and harvested new material related to Dublin’s former booming industry. Entries such as ‘creases of silk’ (JJA 48:064), ‘poplin ties’ (JJA 48:070) or ‘every warp’ and ‘weaver’s year’ (JJA 48:094) suggest Joyce’s interest in the subject.

  • Cloth Mask Breathability and Filtration Efficiency Technical Report 1
    N95Decon Research Document. Not Peer Reviewed. Version 1.0, 8/6/2020 Cloth Mask Breathability and Filtration Efficiency Technical Report 1. Executive Summary The present scientific evidence indicates that mask-wearing by the public is an effective measure for reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 due to a combination of droplet (>5 um) and aerosol protection (<5 um). Given that many varieties of cloth mask are effective at reducing transmission via large droplets, any mask is better than no mask. Mask use should be strongly encouraged to be used in conjunction with measures such as physical distancing. This report focuses primarily on the material considerations for designing cloth masks which protect against transmission via smaller droplets and aerosols in addition to protecting against transmission via larger droplets. Better understanding the respective risks of aerosol transmission compared to large droplet transmission for SARS-CoV-2 is an area of developing study. In this report, we compare studies of different materials that could be used to make homemade masks, with the goal of (1) summarizing both qualitative findings for what materials may provide a greater degree of aerosol protection for homemade masks and (2) identifying gaps in the scientific literature for future study. We consider all literature that evaluated the breathability and filtration efficiency of materials that could be used for homemade masks. It should be noted that the studies reviewed only evaluated the material and did not study leakage that can occur at the side of the mask once it is on a person’s face. Mask fit is a critical element in the overall effectiveness of any mask and masks should be designed to minimize leakage around the sides and by the nose.

  • Identifying Woven Textiles 1750-1950 Identification
    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.

  • July 23-28, 2019 Don't Miss a Minute of This Year's Fair!
    Lake County Agricultural Society, Inc. Presents Don't LAKE Miss a Minute COUNTY of This Year's Fair! FAIR PREMIUM BOOK 2019 JULY 23-28, 2019 1301 MENTOR AVENUE PAINESVILLE TWP., OHIO 1 The History of The Lake County Fair By Jack Daniels The Lake County Agricultural Society, Inc. was established in 1840. This is the same year that the Ohio Legislature allowed the northern portion of Geauga County to divide and form the smallest county in Ohio-Lake County. Although the activities of our society date back to the origins of the Geauga County Fair because members of our area participated in that Fair, the fi rst County Fair of the new Lake County was held in 1852. The location of the Fairgrounds was on Bank Street east of the Painesville Red Cross Building in the present site of the Cummings allotment. Members were given eight tickets to the Fair for one dollar. This also entitled them to free admission for their horses and carriages. No pool or betting was allowed, and the last day of the Fair was reserved for the sale or exchange of livestock. In 1880 a premium was offered to the person bringing the most dog scalps but by 1885 the dog population was apparently reduced, and the premium was offered for woodchuck scalps instead. There were plowing contests, displays of stoves, organs, homemade horseshoes, home tanned hides and homemade perfumes. In 1894 the Fair Board asked the County Commissioners for fi nancial assistance. The Commissioners readily recognized the need, but the County Prosecutor ruled that the money could not be expended for this purpose.
