Absorbent Pad (or Bonnet) Cleaning - A cleaning process using a minimal amount of water, where detergent solutions are sprayed onto either vacuumed carpet, or a cotton pad, and a rotary cleaning machine is used to buff the carpet, and the soil is transferred from the carpet to the buff pad, which is changed or cleaned as it becomes soiled. Acrylic/Modacrylic - A synthetic fiber introduced in the late 1940's, and carpet in the late 1950's, it disappeared from the market in the late 1980's due to the superior performance of other synthetics. Acrylics were reintroduced in 1990 in Berber styling to take advantage of their wool-like appearance. Modacrylic is a modified acrylic. While used alone in bath or scatter rugs, in carpeting it's usually blended with an acrylic. Acrylics are known for their dyeability, wearability, resistance to staining, color retention and resistance to abrasion. They're non-allergenic, mildew proof and moth proof. Adhesive - A substance that dries to a film capable of holding materials together by surface attachment. Anchor Coat - A latex or adhesive coating applied to the back of tufted carpet, to lock the tufts and prevent them from being pulled out under normal circumstances.

Afghan Wars, Oriental Carpets, and Globalization Abstract The afghan war rugs on exhibit at the Penn Museum from April 30 to July 31, 2011, raise a number of interesting questions—about carpets, Afghanistan, and the way the world as a whole is changing. These rugs, which come in a variety of sizes and qualities, derive from a tradition of oriental carpet-weaving that began to attract the attention of Western rug collectors in the late 19th century. Unlike the classic museum pieces that were produced on vertical looms in the cities of western Asia for use in palaces and grand houses, war rugs came from horizontal looms in small tribal communities of Turkmen and Baloch in the areas of central Asia on either side of the northern border of Afghanistan—tribal communities that were incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 19th century.

  • Matthew 3:13-17 Gail L. Miller the Baptism of Our Lord January 19, 2020 a New Name
    Matthew 3:13-17 Gail L. Miller The Baptism of our Lord January 19, 2020 A New Name Matthew 3:13-17 - The Baptism of Jesus Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” So we’ve moved beyond the baby in the manger – and even the child in the house visited by the 3 Magi bearing their gifts. But while the season of parties and gifts is long gone, our journey with Jesus continues. And today it fast forwards 30 years to his baptism. There are not a lot of stories that appear in all four of the Gospels – the books which tell the story and stories of Jesus’ life – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Since they’re each telling the story from different perspectives and times, they have different stories in them. So, when a piece of the story appears in all four, we know that it was important to them at the time and important for them to share with us.
