Pony Reins Craft (Ms. Heather, Cherry Blossom kindergarten) Giddyup, pony! Whoa! Trot! In the kindergarten, we have a few sets of “pony reins” in our classroom. When the weather is fine, we bring them outside with us and the children love to take turns being the “pony”. Your child (or children) can take turns being the “pony”, and a sibling or caregiver can be the “rider”. This project will make use of a long rope of fingerknitting. Materials: ● Piece of felt cut into a 4”x 12” rectangle ● 85” long fingerknitted rope (made with thicker yarn, if possible) ● thread and needle or sewing machine ● Bells The first step, of course, is to have your child to fingerknit a long length of “rope” that is at least 85” long. On the short sides of the felt piece, turn over the edges to make a 1 ½” channel on each end. Pin in place and stitch 1” from the fold (if your rope is thinner, make the channels narrower). Your child can hand sew these stitches, using a running stitch and keeping the stitches small. 2. Attach a large safety pin or paperclip to one end of the rope and use it to guide the rope through one channel. Continue pulling the rope through the other channel, so that you have a loop on top. This is the loop that will go over your child’s head, with the felt panel in front. 3. Adjust the free hanging ropes on each side so they are equal, making sure the top loop measures 26”. Tie a knot in the rope at the bottom of each channel, to keep the rope in place. The hanging ends are the reins- you can leave these hanging or tie them together. 4. Stitch the bells wherever you’d like onto the felt panel. ...and now your pony reins are ready to take for a ride! .

Trawick, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Art and Design, Fashion Program Manager The fashion industry has advanced new technologies in the twenty-first century that has made producing apparel more cost effective with faster time-to-market capabilities and greatly reduced steps in the manufacturing process. The reasons for these improvements can be linked to new apparel computer-aided-design (CAD) technologies that have come about in the market as computers have advanced and grown in processing power and reduction in size since the 1980s. Computers are revolutionizing many industries and the way business is conducted in today’s modern workplace. The fashion industry has yet to convert all processes to digital means but advancements have been growing in popularity over the years and are certain to increase as the technologies available become better and more reliable. This raises the need for research to take place to survey the market and determine what types of software are available and the capabilities of the technologies.

Chapter 6 Chapter
Chapter 6 Chapter Basic Ropes & Knots 6 – Ropes & Knots 305 Seattle Fire Department ROPE Introduction In the Fire Service, the knowledge of how to tie and use knots is essential. While there are many knots available, the following knots described in this section should be adequate to meet the needs of Seattle firefighters in most situations Keep in mind that it is more important to be able to tie these standard knots automatically, while under the stress of an emergency, than to know a greater number of knots and yet have failed to acquire skill in their use. The ropes used on operation companies range in size from 1/4” woven cotton tie ropes to ½”” kernmantle nylon life safety rescue ropes. They can vary in length from just a few feet to 300 foot lengths. Ropes and knots are used daily in securing equipment, fire suppression, rescue work, and emergency medical applications. Whether working with rope or knots in an emergency or training, SAFETY should be on the mind of all involved. Rope Usage The Seattle Fire Department separates the use of ropes into two categories: Utility and Life Safety. Utility A utility rope is a rope that is used for any function other than that of life safety. Tie ropes, practice ropes, RIG ropes, roof ropes and other ropes that are marked as such all fall under the umbrella of utility rope. Life Safety Life Safety rope is defined as any rope used to support the weight of members or other persons during rescue, fire fighting, other emergency operations, or during training evolutions.

Earthing Is a Way of (Re)Connecting with the Environment. Earthing Is a Way of Remembering Our Distant and Far Past
Earthing is a way of (re)connecting with the environment. Earthing is a way of remembering our distant and far past. Earthing is a way to recharge our bodies each and every single day. There are many benefits to earthing: ● Decreased inflammation ● Reduced chronic pain ● Lowered stress ● Improved sleep ● Increased energy and stamina Perhaps more important than all of that is the ability to provide yourself and your family with compostable shoes made from sustainable resources, because let’s face it – plastic may have found its way into our everyday lives via electronics, chewing gum, polyester and flip-flops, but we can change the future with every step we take. It is up to our conscience, our consciousness and our handcrafting skills to unbrand our personal lives, embrace self-reliance and take traditional knowledge to a whole new level. Step with care! Earthing sandal pattern created by Cheryl Magyar of ForestCreekMeadows The essence of the earthing sandal is highly dependent on the quality of the rope – the foundation of the sole. Depending on your location on Earth and resources available locally you should seek out all natural rope, such as braided hemp rope no smaller than 4 mm in thickness. For a pair of earthing sandals in European size 38 (US 7.5) you will need about 15 meters (49 feet) of 4 mm braided hemp rope. It is always better to overestimate the length of rope needed, than to under buy. Connecting extra pieces may take away from your design and it is not as easy to attach another piece of rope, as it would be to add a new yarn in a knitted garment.

D-Loop Over the Traditional System with a Rope Attached to the Release Device
In recent times D loops have become the standard on Compound bows, there are a number of benefits obtained by using a D-loop over the traditional system with a rope attached to the release device. These benefits are - • When letting down the arrow will not fall off the string. • String wear is virtually eliminated because your release rope is no longer attached directly to the string, this increases the life of the string and serving material. • The string is drawn directly behind the centre of the arrow There are many configurations that can be used when setting up a D loop it is important that some form of nocking points are used, never attached a D loop to the string without the use of nocking points. It is also important that the D loop is attached so at fully draw the release device is directly behind the arrow. This is because with most bow designs the upper part of the bow is shorter than the lower part of the bow. As the arrow is attached to the upper part of the bow and is effectively above the true centre of the bow the loop will want to pull up when at full draw. It is recommended to always use two nocking point, one above and one below the arrow and attached the D Loop knots above and below each nocking point. Installing a D Loop The steps below detail the process for installing a D-loop on a string. Ideally you should use non-stretch nylon or polyester material designed for the purpose, this material should be about 2 mm in diameter.

Arch ery v23 n1 January 2019 $12 Tom Dorigatti The Single Sear Release Aid Revolution Bob Ryder More Advanced Tuning of Compound Bows Hugh D.H. Soar On Arrow Construction William Moltzan Archery DIY: Making Your Own Strength Trainer Steve Ruis A Proposed Structure for the Mental Game of Archery Simon Needham/Steve Ruis Getting to 650: Conclusion AER Getting Serious: Is It Your Fault? New from Watching Arrows Fly! A New Book from Acclaimed Archery Historian Hugh D.H. Soar! The bow and arrow were invented at least 60,000 to 70,000 years ago and for 99% of that time children learned archery the same way they learned everything else: by doing. At first a child probably played at archery using a found bent stick. Later, they might have been given a purpose –built youth bow (short in length with a weak draw pull) made from basic materials or from a broken adult bow, cut down. Arrows were probably also “hand me downs” and if a child showed enough promise with the bow and arrow, they might be invited to join the hunter’s circle and begin the arduous task of working their way up from the least desirable tasks. More recently, though, children began receiving instruction in the way of the bow. Eminent archery historian Hugh Soar shares his vast knowledge of how youths were taught during this period, both then and now, starting in his native England, expanding to the rest of the U.K, then out to Europe and the U.S., and also including the Middle East, Africa, and the Far East.

KINKE KOOI <> TENANT of CULTURE Fittings
E X I L E Elisabethstr 24 1010 Wien [email protected] +43.681.81462848 KINKE KOOI <> TENANT OF CULTURE Fittings Mar 12 - May 30, 2020 Kinke Kooi & Tenant of Culture: Hold me. 2013/2020. Color pencil, pencil and acrylic on paper behind fabric, 46 x 68 cm The exhibition Fittings combines the works of the Dutch artists Kinke Kooi, born 1961, and Hendrickje Schimmel, born 1990, who operates under the synonyme ‘Tenant of Culture’. Fittings is part of an ongoing series of exhibitions combining artists of different generations and backgrounds. Kinke Kooi abstracts internal, organ-like physicalities into elaborate dream-like, pastel-colored drawings. Fleshy organs together with pearls, plants, fruits and cotton buds are contrasted with sharp knives, rulers and square shapes. The inherent symbolism can be interpreted through gender definition as entangled in an organic, fleshy web of almost paradisian but subversive non-binary utopia. The works reference historical anatomic drawing as well as religious iconography but result in an intestinal physiological and psychological landscape of an organ‘s inner bowel movement. Kinke Kooi‘s work abstracts and subverts the internalised sphere of body and gender identity. Her work exposes a magic, yet vulnerable inside based equally on symbiosis and conflict. Tenant of Culture applies millennial post-gender trajectories based on community and inclusion into three-dimensional hybrid artefacts. The artist upcycles used materials, mainly old clothing, into new sculptural works that disrupt the definition of garment as well as of sculpture. The works become hybrids, that function in the ephemeral in-between of fashionable fluctuation and sculptural monumentality.
