Heritage Skills Event Fifteen of our students attended a workshop session in Perth City Centre aimed at promoting careers using traditional building skills. The event, organised by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, gave the pupils an experience of using traditional skills of carpentry, stone masonry, slating and painting. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the event, and some of them highly impressed the organisers! The event was even attended by Depute First Minister, John Swinney MSP, who took time out of his busy schedule to chat to our students and congratulate them for taking part. Primary Language Ambassadors Welcome to our new group of P5-7 Language Ambassadors for this year! They are enthusiastic about celebrating all the languages spoken in St John's Academy and are looking forward to supporting language learning throughout the school. This year's Language Ambassadors are already bursting with ideas, including competitions, lunch clubs and quizzes. Their first task has been to celebrate 'European Day of Languages' on Thursday, 26th September. European Day of Languages On Thursday, 26th September, we celebrated the European Day of Languages. Many classes took part in numerous activities for the promotion of languages. We had fun dressing up in costumes from around the world, completed quizzes about Europe, translated Follow us on Twitter music titles and increased our vocabulary for @sja_languages greeting people in a language other than their mother tongue as well as discussing the benefits of having knowledge of more than one language. Our pupils approached the many activities with great gusto! In addition, on a recent visit to the school, Bishop Stephen Robson was more than happy to help fly the language flag by joining the Senior Leadership Team for a photograph to celebrate this special day. -
“The Answer to Laundry in Outer Space”: the Rise and Fall of The
Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ University of North Carolina Asheville “The Answer to Laundry in Outer Space”: The Rise and Fall of the Paper Dress in 1960s American Fashion A Senior Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History In Candidacy for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History By Virginia Knight Asheville, North Carolina November 2014 1 A woman stands in front of a mirror in a dressing room, a sales assistant by her side. The sales assistant, with arms full of clothing and a tape measure around her neck, beams at the woman, who is looking at her reflection with a confused stare. The woman is wearing what from the front appears to be a normal, knee-length floral dress. However, the mirror behind her reveals that the “dress” is actually a flimsy sheet of paper that is taped onto the woman and leaves her back-half exposed. The caption reads: “So these are the disposable paper dresses I’ve been reading about?” This newspaper cartoon pokes fun at one of the most defining fashion trends in American history: the paper dress of the late 1960s.1 In 1966, the American Scott Paper Company created a marketing campaign where customers sent in a coupon and shipping money to receive a dress made of a cellulose material called “Dura-Weave.” The coupon came with paper towels, and what began as a way to market Scott’s paper products became a unique trend of American fashion in the late 1960s. -

He squinted at the clock and sad, “Forty minutes before lunch time. Too hot in here and how. Better wait outside.” “But,” I remonstrated, “the heat doesn't bother me. -

Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs. -

McAllister Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Advisor Marie Hardin Associate Professor of Communications Ronald V. Bettig Associate Professor of Communications John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines three Black Entertainment Television (BET) shows – The Black Carpet, The Boot and Baldwin Hills – assessing their popularly mediated economic and consumptive representations of Black America in the context of socioeconomic realities being lived in Black America. Using a critical textual analysis of these programs the thesis explores the extent to which consumers are being sold a mediated version of the American dream and Black identity through commodity fetishism, and argues that this symbolic construction has a hegemonic function by deterring the Black consumer’s attention from real to imaginary economic lifestyles. This study finds that, although the three programs differ on their levels of ideological intensity and specific characteristics, on BET as a whole blackness is a fetishized -

Polyvinyl Chloride - Wikipedia Polyvinyl Chloride
1/24/2020 Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia Polyvinyl chloride Polyvinyl chloride (/ˌpɒlivaɪnəl ˈklɔːraɪd/;[5] colloquial: Polyvinyl chloride polyvinyl, vinyl;[6] abbreviated: PVC) is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene.[7] About 40 million tonnes are produced per year. PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used in making bottles, non-food packaging, food-covering sheets,[8] and cards (such as bank or membership cards). It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is also used in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, imitation leather, flooring, signage, phonograph records,[9] inflatable products, and many applications where it replaces rubber.[10] With cotton or linen, it is used to make canvas. Pure polyvinyl chloride is a white, brittle solid. It is insoluble in alcohol but slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran.

Foul Chutes: on the Archive Downriver Sarah Minor
Ninthletter.com Special Feature, October 2018 Foul Chutes: On the Archive Downriver Sarah Minor ~ The old house where I was raised for a time was exactly one hundred years older than my sister. It stood facing the river across from another white house where, in 1932, the LaRosa family had installed the very first laundry chute in Rockford, Illinois, long before our city was named the country’s third most miserable. By the mid-’90s a highway ran between my family’s ailing Victorian and its Mississippi tributary and for ten years we lived up there, where Brown’s Road ended, where the street might have tipped over the hill and rushed across the stinking river if In June of 1998, while he was renovating his someone hadn’t changed his mind.
