    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

Seasoned voluntary simplicity facilitators will appreciate how thorough and well-presented these activities are. In fact, the material is so well-thought out that informal educators new to simple living could use Mark’s book with confidence. If you’re ready to change your game plan or help others do so, this book ofers real transformative opportunities. C. Jones, M. Div., Adult Educator and Simple Living Enthusiast Refraining from adding to the critique of current social, economic and ecological challenges, Burch makes a notable shift towards positive social transformation, opting to share the rewards and potentials of simple living with others rather than additional criticism and analysis of contemporary problems. … The sourcebook is therefore an important and valuable resource for all educators or individuals interested in exploring simplicity further,.. Natalie Swayze, Research Associate, Centre for Indigenous Science Education, The University of Winnipeg In The Simplicity Exercises, Burch provides us with a path through that mental barrier [to transformative change] with comprehensive and well-thought-out group thought- experiments and exercises. Drawing from years of real-world experience, the book provides us a path beyond fear, critique and common despair-ridden questions about how to move forward to solve the challenges of our time.

Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Professor Jan Johnson Yopp, adviser Professor Barbara Friedman, reader Professor Stephen Birdsall, reader ©2008 Kelly Rae Chi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KELLY R. CHI: The Motivations and Challenges of Living Simply in a Consuming Society (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Barbara Friedman and Stephen Birdsall) Voluntary simplicity, a cultural movement that focuses on buying less and working less, blossomed in the mid-1990s as increasing numbers of Americans voiced dissatisfaction with excessive consumerism and working long hours. While the movement is not formalized today, many Americans do live simply, according to some of the simplicity literature. Practices range from buying only environmentally friendly products, following religious guidelines, or living in communal settings. Though the weakening U.S. economy makes simplicity an attractive or necessary way of life, the daily lives of simplifiers are underreported in the mainstream media. Since 2003, newspaper articles on simplicity have diminished, and existing articles lack context on the varied motivations and challenges of the simplicity movement and how some Americans live simply. This thesis and its series of articles aims to fill that gap by looking at simplicity research as well as the stories of local people in family and community settings.

  • Gandhi Intro

    Gandhi Intro

    Addendum A: Historical Context for Gandhi's Thoughts and Actions Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, leader of the Indian nationalist movement and known in his later life as Mahatma ("great soul"), was one of the greatest national leaders of the 20th century. His methods and philosophy of nonviolent confrontation, or civil disobedience, not only led his own country to independence but also influenced political activists of many persuasions throughout the world. His mother was a devout adherent of Jainism, a religion in which ideas of nonviolence and vegetarianism are paramount. Gandhi stated that he was most influenced by his mother, whose life "was an endless chain of fasts and vows." When, in the company of boyhood friends, he secretly smoked, ate meat, told lies, or wore Western clothing, he suffered intense feelings of guilt. These feelings forced him to make resolutions about his moral behavior that were to remain with him. Married by arrangement at 13, Gandhi went to London to study law when he was 18. He was admitted to the bar in 1891 and for a while practiced law in Bombay. From 1893 to 1914, he worked for an Indian firm in South Africa. During these years, Gandhi's humiliating experiences of overt racial discrimination propelled him into agitation on behalf of the Indian community of South Africa. He assumed leadership of protest campaigns and gradually developed his techniques and tenets of nonviolent resistance known as satyagraha (literally, "steadfastness in truth"). Returning to India in January 1915, Gandhi soon became involved in labor organizing. The massacre of Amritsar (1919), in which troops fired on and killed hundreds of nationalist demonstrators, turned him to direct political protest.

    Speciale Fardigt

    Abstract In the current epoch the concepts of climate change, environmental crisis and sustainable living have become well-integrated into the collective consciousness of individuals, and on an overall level, risks and uncertainties have taken up a different meaning for people in post-modern Western society. The previous faith and trust in institutions, experts and scientists has collapsed as the technological advancements and developments which where once provided to rid humanity of scarcity in basic needs and fight diseases, are now to blame for the current situation of global warming, overpopulation, and pollution. The future of humanity and the planet is consequently uncertain, and while the incentive to take action among laypeople is present, this is to some degree inhibited by a lack of adaptable concrete step-by-step solutions paired with an overall absence of global consensus regarding the magnitude of the problem. Nevertheless a number of relatively new tendencies suggests that individuals are taking matters into their own hands. The anthropocene marks a new geological era where human activities have come to play a powerful role on global climates and the environment, and this has given rise to new sustainable lifestyles, where the agenda and common vision often revolves around making conscious everyday choices with the least possible environmental impact. While the altruistic messages, ideas and values behind new sustainable lifestyles may seem praiseworthy, there are scholars who suggest that affiliations to such fixed identities serve other purposes, as a strategy of maintaining a unified sense of self in a world marked by fragmentation, insecurity and chaos. Elaborating further on this assumption, environment-friendly ways of living come to function as ready-made identities for modern individuals as a replacement for genuine self-development and reflection.

    Network of Sacred Heart Schools

    Network of Sacred Heart Schools Dear Applicant, Enclosed is the application packet for the Network Summer Projects. The Projects, now in their 27th year, offer students a unique experience of service and community, which has consistently made a significant impact on the lives of all who have been involved. In addition to serving the poor and marginalized it is hoped you experience a personal transformation by living in a communal setting, practicing simple living, and maintaining a positive and open attitude. One of the great benefits of every service project is the opportunity to develop new friendships with students from across the country who come from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. You will be expected to step outside of your comfort zone to reach out and make certain that everyone feels like an important part of the “project community.” “Inclusiveness” is an attitude that you are expected to bring with you, so that all participants have a rich, affirming experience. At most locations you will sleep on the floor, drink water from the tap as opposed to bottled water, and personally cook and eat nutritious, well-balanced, basic meals with provisions made for vegetarians and some easily accommodated allergies. Severe allergies may be a deterrent to being accepted into a Service Project. In some locations there will be no air conditioning and shower facilities will not be luxurious. You will relinquish your cell phone(s) during the project in order to enter more fully into the service aspect of the project. You will be given opportunities to contact home via periodic moments of blogging or some limited access to the internet.

    The Gandhian Ashram and Its Contemporaries: a Global Study of the Communal Reaction to Modernity Defense Copy

    The Gandhian Ashram and its Contemporaries: A Global Study of the Communal Reaction to Modernity Defense Copy Charles Bower Advisor: Mithi Mukherjee, History Committee: Fred Anderson, History Carole McGranahan, Anthropology April 2015 1 ABSTRACT This paper explores the Gandhian Ashram as a reaction to the forces of modernity in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Its deviation from the existing historiography is primarily in its exploration of the Ashram as one of many incidents of communal experiments at the time, which have an interesting geographic connection in London. I note Gandhi’s readings of John Ruskin and Leo Tolstoy, his interactions with dietetic and communal experiments in London, and some of the local precedents for the Ashram in arguing that these communal living experiments can be seen as a reaction to the forces of modern nation-building, especially as an anticolonial reaction. 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION………………...…………………………………………….….3 Historiography I.

Understanding his core goals of religious and spiritual foundations for society are vitally important to understanding the deep influence he had on the nationalist movement in India and beyond.
  • Global Consumption Trends and Consumption of Ecological Food in Poland

    Global Consumption Trends and Consumption of Ecological Food in Poland

    KONSUMPCJA I ROZWÓJ 2015;1(10):17-32 17 BOGDAN MRÓZ Szkoła Główna Handlowa (Warsaw School of Economics) Marta SADOWSKA Ernst & young Polska Global Consumption Trends and Consumption of Ecological Food in Poland Premises for development of the market for ecological food in Poland Ecological food is often confused with health, natural or traditional food. Therefore, to begin with, it is proper to define this notion to which we shall refer in a further part of the article. Ecological food (hereinafter: eco-food, organic food) is food produced with natural methods in the environment which has not been polluted. In this pro- duction, there cannot be used fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms or growth hormones. Ecological food originates from farms that take care of conservation of landscape biodiversity and values as well as they raise animals in the way compliant with their species needs. Significantly, to be able to use the term ‘ecological food’, the producer must have come across the relevant control procedure, crowned with obtainment of the certificate for the products manufactured thereby (Pilarczyk, Nestorowicz, 2010). According to the estimates of Organic Farma Zdrowia [Organic Farm of Health], the biggest in Poland chain of shops with ecological food, the Polish market for this food is at present valued for approx. 700 million zlotys (Polacy coraz chętniej…, 2014) and it grows at the rate of 20-30% annually. In the opinion of experts, we may expect a further dynamic growth for at least next two decades (Rynek zdrowej żywności…, 2014). The ecological market development in Poland seems to be not a fad but has solid grounds.
