Such symbols are written on labels, known as care labels, attached to clothing to indicate how a particular item should best be cleaned. There are different standards for care labels for the different countries/regions of the world. In some standards, pictograms coexist with or are complemented by written instructions. Treatment indicated by the symbols is "the maximum permitted treatment" and is not required or recommended. GINETEX states Laundry care symbols with that "milder forms of treatment and lower temperatures than those instructions in Japanese. The four indicated on the label are always permitted." For example, if a symbol symbols shown indicate that the indicates washing in hot water and tumble drying, washing in cold garment must not be washed in water and drying on a clothes line are also acceptable. water, must not be bleached, may be ironed only with a protective pressing The Canadian system was formerly the most colorful one, using three cloth, and must be dry-cleaned. colours: green for "go ahead", yellow for "be careful", and red for "stop". This system has been abandoned with the decision to move to a common international scheme.[citation needed] GINETEX, based in France, is the international association for textile care labelling, and formed in 1963 after academic conferences in the late 1950s were formed to define one standard of labelling.

    Selected Papers from the CLARIN Annual Conference 2015 October 14–16, 2015 Wrocław, Poland Edited by Koenraad De Smedt Published by Linköping University Electronic Press, Sweden Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings, No. 123 NEALT Proceedings Series, Volume 28 eISSN 1650-3740 • ISSN 1650-3686 • ISBN 978-91-7685-765-6 Preface These proceedings present the highlights of the CLARIN Annual Conference 2015 that took place in Wrocław, Poland. It is the second volume of what we hope is becoming a series of publications that constitutes a multiannual record of the experience and insights gained within CLARIN. The selected papers present results which were obtained in the projects conducted within and between the national consortia and which contribute to the realization of what CLARIN aims to be: a European Re- search Infrastructure providing sustainable access to language resources in all forms, analysis services for the processing of language materials, and a platform for the sharing of knowledge that can stimulate the use, reuse and repurposing of the available data. As an international research infrastructure, CLARIN has the potential to lower the barriers for researchers to entry into digital scholarship and cutting edge research. With the growing number of participating countries and languages covered, CLARIN will help to establish a truly connected and multilingual European Research Area for digital research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, in which Europe’s multilinguality reinforces the basis for the comparative investigation of a wide range of intellectual and societal phenomena. This volume illustrates the various ways in which CLARIN supports researchers and it shows that there are more and more scholarly domains in which language resources are a crucial data type, whether approached as big data or nor so big data.

In Australia, care instructions must be permanently attached to articles, be written in English, and be appropriate for the care of the article. Additional symbols may be used to clarify the instructions but symbols alone are not sufficient. As a minimum, laundering instructions include (in order) four symbols: washing, bleaching, drying, and ironing. Drycleaning instructions include one symbol. Professional Wet Cleaning symbols are included for information only as they are not currently recognised in Australia. Washing The washtub symbol tells you how the garment should be washed. The number inside the washtub is the maximum wash temperature. A bar underneath the washtub indicates that the garment should have mild treatment or washed using the Permanent Press setting.

    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.

  • The Chief's Gorilla Guide for Looking Good in Uniform
    The Chief’s Gorilla Guide For Looking Good In Uniform By Chief Master Sergeant Robert D. Chiafos CHIEF, IOWA CIVIL AIR PATROL ACADEMY Camp Dodge, IA 3rd Edition (Revised) January 2007 The Commander’s Responsibility Each commander needs to acknowledge and accept responsibility for the appearance of all individuals under their command. Every military unit has a uniform culture. Left undirected, and on their own, members of the unit will collectively and unconsciously set a standard for wearing the uniform. Once established, that standard will perpetuate itself. As new members come in they will observe the standard, and dress down or up to match it. In any unit where uniforms are not inspected regularly, or where the leadership fails to immediately confront individual violators; the standard will plummet like water seeking its lowest level. This is a serious breach of military discipline and the worst kind of leadership! Sadly, in some units, the senior members are the greatest offenders. No matter how bad the current standard is in your unit, it can be turned around. First, the commander must meet standards, if you don’t - correct it! You cannot conduct an inspection, or correct infractions, when the offenders look better than you do. Next, demand compliance from your Cadet Programs Officer, and all cadet officers and NCOs. When infractions are observed, use the chain of command to immediately confront and correct violations. When repeated correction fails, revoke the privilege of wearing the Air Force Uniform. Openly reprimand offenders and reward those who exceed the standards. Uniform inspections must be the first order of business at any CAP meeting, gathering, or other event.

  • 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
