What was the life of a Prince like in medieval times?
question 1: What was the life of a Prince like in medieval times?
question 2: what kind of servants did he have- in medieval times?
I can't find it anywhere on the web. Help?
Best Answer: A prince would be raised to be skilled in the arts of warfare, he would learn the use of weapons, and to ride, hunt, and hawk. He would be expected to take an interest in the businesss of government, as one day he might have to rule. The oldest son of a king would be the most important, as he would be next in line for the succession, but life was uncertain in medieval times,a prince might die of disease, or in battle, in which case the next brother in age would be king (unless the oldest son already had a son of his own when he died). Princes would have their own estates and castles. He would be expected to take an interest in the running of his estate, the crops being grown, welfare of his tenants etc.
Piety was an important quality for a prince, he would be expected to go to Mass, and pray every day.
If there were several sons jostling for positions of importance, it would cause problems for the king. This occured for instance with King Henry II of England, who had a lot of trouble with his sons. He made his oldest son, Henry, king of england while he was still alive, but this did not satisfy young Henry or his brothers, and they eventually rebelled against their father. The rebellion was crushed.
A prince would have many servants. Since he would normally have his own household, he would have all the servants that went with a royal household, a steward, a chamberlain, a chaplain, many waiting servants, cooks and scullions in the kitchen, grooms out in the stables. And men at arms to guard the place. There would be a huntsman to take care of his hunting dogs, and a falconer to look after the falcons and hawks (hunting was a major occupation of royalty and nobility, it was not just for sport, but provided much food for the table).
fight dragons, save princesses, and boss around servants.

Summer's here and more motorcyclists are hitting the roads than ever before. According to a recent survey by the Motorcycle Industry Council, the number of motorcycles owned and used in America grew 19 percent since 2003. That means an estimated 25 million people – equal to the population of Michigan! – swung a leg over a bike and rode last year.
Baby boomers, many with their children grown and more time or their hands, make up 44 percent of all riders, according to the survey. Unfortunately, riders 40 and older also make up a large portion of motorcycle accidents, with fatalities in this group nearly quadrupling in the last 10 years, reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Forty-five percent of those fatalities were caused by rider error.
• When riding, keep the eyes scanning! It's imperative that you look way ahead and gather information early so you have time to react. Always "lead" the bike with your eyes by looking where you intend to go. This means looking through a corner before you ask the bike to negotiate the corner.
• Understand your bikes braking capabilities. It's a good idea for riders to know their bike's ability to slow down. This can be a scary thing to learn, so a lot of riders don't learn it until they NEED their brakes' full potential and that is not the time to learn it. Good rider training classes will have a session on braking techniques and these exercises will give you the confidence and understanding of how to utilize your brakes effectively in an emergency situation. This should include bikes with and without ABS.
The BMW Performance Center offers motorcycle training classes for on- and off-road enthusiasts. Sessions range from classroom instruction and drills on-site at the BMW Performance Center's on- or off-road courses to an all-inclusive guided three-day GS Adventure Ride traversing the back roads of the western Carolinas and eastern Tennessee.

Against all odds, Northwestern will officially begin their men's basketball season Wednesday, December 2 against Arkansas-Pines Bluff at home. Ahead of the season, NBN's sports section sat down to discuss the upcoming season, and what we expected for the program this year and beyond.
Coop Daley:
All right, so Big Ten basketball [is] coming back for the cats on December 2. Just to recap last year, the 'Cats put together about three wins in the Big Ten, two against Nebraska and one was a bit of an upset against Penn State, so that was kind of fun. Key departures for the 'Cats, of course, include Pat Spencer, the guard, and AJ Turner. And I think Jared Jones left in the transfer portal, and Tino Malnati.
Justine Banbury:
My heart.
Coop:
Rip in peace Tino. But honestly, I will say just looking at this year, the 'Cats already returned a lot of the depth that they had last year, if not more. I am very excited about the emergence of Boo Buie and Ryan Young as young stars that we can see come out. Of course, Boo Buie, last year kind of served in the shadow role under Pat Spencer, and Ryan Young, of course, is the center that started a lot of games, but he was really starting to develop towards the end of the year.
Jordan Landsberg:
Yeah, I'm excited about Boo Buie as well, he was in my entrepreneurship class last year, which was pretty cool to see him after the games. I think that he has potential to be a consistent source of scoring for them. He averaged 10 points last year under Pat Spencer, [and] now that he's going to start most likely, I think that he can definitely get that number up and help Miller Kopp out.

Justine:
I agree with you guys. I think Boo Buie is a big player for us this year. I think Anthony Gaines is going to be huge, and Miller Kopp as well. But before we jump into people specifically, I wanted to talk about our record last year, because while it was very bleak, I think for people who are casual basketball fans, they just may not realize how strong the Big Ten conference actually was, and it's even going to be stronger this year. It's kind of underrated in basketball. I put down some stats from the conference: seven Big Ten, seven of our 14, so half the conference, is ranked [AP] Top 25 heading into the preseason, which is huge. I didn't really compare it to other conferences, but a lot of teams. Not us, but we'll get there. Also, two of our teams have players who are ranked as top 20 players in the country. And four Big Ten teams have a recruiting class that's ranked top four in the country. So basically, even if our record, which was [8-23] total last year, is really tough, we have to keep in mind we're against some of the best in the nation. Give our guys some slack.
Jordan:
I totally agree with you on that. But it's also that they had very embarrassing home losses last year to Merrimack, Radford and Hartford. So I think that it starts there. You can't really be that bad playing on your home court. Two teams that should be easy wins, playing in as tough of a conference as the Big Ten, it starts with winning those games. Because without that, there's zero confidence.
Yeah, it's definitely one thing to lose to that team versus losing to Michigan State. But I just think it's definitely something to know that if you do lose those games early on, it's going to shake your confidence even more heading into the big games later.
You guys brought this up, but one thing that [head coach Chris] Collins touched on when I spoke with him at his press conference–and he touched on this fact, too–yes, the losses are going to be tough. But the other thing that I think is really important when you start talking about how good the Big Ten is, Northwestern was in a lot of games last year where they almost fought back; they kind of hung in with the big boys. A lot of games I can name off the top of my head, Purdue, Maryland, Rutgers, not fun games in terms of the outcome, but they did fight tooth-and-nail. Either they got out to a big lead or they clawed their way back into maybe a tight play in the final seconds. I think to say that the Big Ten is a great conference is an understatement, especially with all the great teams that are in there this year, but honestly, if Northwestern can find a way to turn the corner and actually find a way to finish games, which I think we'll discuss later on, that's going to be important to this year. I think if they can manage to do that with the new depth that they're getting back, I think that'll be an important step.
Yes, they're getting back in. Just another year in the system, another year of our players progressing, just rebuilding the system, honestly, just another year in the rebuild. Have to hope for improvement. We'll see what Anthony Gaines can do, I know Justine was hinting at him earlier. I think that his defense and his leadership will be huge for the team, and I think that if he can stay healthy, and if he can be the defensive force that we need him to be, it can lighten the load of Boo Buie, Miller Kopp. Pete Nance, who was the highest recruit in Northwestern's history, we really need [him] to bounce back and to show some consistency. If he can pull it together and be a consistent source of scoring, and just someone that they can rely upon, I think that things will get better fast for them. And I think that those close games will be much easier. The win will be much more attainable if you put those pieces together.

I agree. Looking at Kopp a little bit, he was one of our top players last year. He had the best free throw percentage in the Big Ten last season, and also, his three point percentage was ninth in the [conference], which is very impressive. I think you're right, I think we have some big players, but we're not putting them all together, and that's a little bit on Collins. I know some people are frustrated with him. I think there's a lot of big players with potential. We just need someone to kind of tie it all up with a bow.
You guys talk about potential. Some things that got touched on when I spoke to Collins: Pete Nance and Robbie Beran apparently have impressed Collins with their improvement over the offseason, just because both have apparently bulked up and will become more key parts of a perimeter defense, especially Pete Nance. Apparently there is talk that he might be used as a small ball center. So that will be fun to watch, to say the least. Just getting more into it, I think the key part of the 'Cats this year will just be their defense. I think there's no doubt that they can score. Boo Buie is going to have a good year, Ryan Young is going to have a decent year in the paint, Pete Nance, towards the end of the season, was starting to finally find his shooting form again. I think those are heavily talked about topics in a bunch of media circles. I think it will really come down to like you guys touched on, Anthony Gaines, Pete Nance and even Robbie Beran subbing off the bench, how well those guys can lock down the perimeter on defense, especially in those games that we mentioned, are just close towards the end.
When he's healthy, Gaines has proven to be an outstanding on-ball defender. [His] physicality and athleticism with the high intensity makes him a really enticing matchup with the best guards in the Big Ten. So I think if he can stay healthy, and if other players can pick up the slack on defense, games might be a little closer for them versus the strong Big Ten opponents that they're going to play.
Another thing to bring up is the experience level we have this year versus last year. Our team was fairly young last year, and all the people we lost weren't as big of leaders on the court as a senior class could be. So I think that this year, we still have strong players in all these younger guys, because they're going to be juniors and sophomores. So I think that has more potential for them to grow more and obviously just kind of know what they're doing, especially in these close games.
Would you guys call this a rebuild year or more of a fringe year? Because I don't think contending is a good term to use in the Big Ten right now, but would you say it's more of a rebuild or a fringe? Because I know next year we're looking ahead to one of the best recruiting classes we've ever had, but I know this year is gonna be interesting.
I would say this is a fringe year … fringe is a little bit better than rebuild, right?
I don't think that Chris Collins is on the hot seat whatsoever, and I think that Jim Phillips has proven that he will give coaches time. It paid off with football, as we know. We're only four years removed from taking them as far as they've as they've ever gone, from taking them from the cellar of the Big Ten, and the complete bottom, to relevancy and the tournament. To let that go in four years, I just don't think that that's going to happen. So I would take this year as another rebuild, in a hopeful step in the right direction. I don't think it's a fringe season for a couple other reasons. They were very young last year as well, and this is another year of experience. This is another year in the system, and another year of experience for all these guys. So we'll see if they can put that together and hopefully make it a more attractive destination for recruits in a hopeful, strong class next year.

Well, something to think about recruiting-wise: they just finished their facility last year. So I know women's and men's [basketball teams] were practicing in Blomquist, a gross gym. Any recruit is not going to come to an average program and practice in a gross gym. That's actually a huge part of recruiting is actually having Treinens, and having an amazing facility for them to have fun, and that's why we got such an amazing class coming in next year.
Look at football too! Ryan Fieldhouse is absolutely stunning, [costs] like $300 million. That's definitely part of their package when recruits come. Even from talking to football players in my classes, that's a huge part of what they tout: the academics, and this great coaching with this absolutely beautiful facility to just get big, and to hopefully make it into the big leagues, let their names be known.
Yeah. So then bringing it down to this year … I think it really just depends on the game, it's hard to tell right now, just because there's been no exhibitions. Like this time last year, the 'Cats were playing in Fort Myers. So I mean, it's hard to know exactly. But just looking ahead at the schedule, some of these games are just absolutely insane. You've got to play Illinois twice, you've got to play Wisconsin twice, you've got to play Ohio State, Michigan. Obviously the 'Cats haven't played yet, but the games I've been watching lately, I mean, Illinois has just been destroying everything, and Wisconsin looks really good. So I mean, it's hard for me to say right now that the 'Cats will be contending or have a presence, but I think once the games actually start, we'll have [an idea.] And then one last thing I think we could touch on: one thing I asked Collins is [if] there's a different atmosphere that comes from being in an empty arena versus a crowd filled arena. He said, yes, one of the things that he has been working with his guys on is conditioning, because when you don't have any fans in the stands, you don't have that last energy push to go forward. I'm not sure if you guys remember last year, but a lot of last year came down to conditioning, just the 'Cats seemed tired in the last couple minutes of a game. So do you guys think this extra work on the conditioning could have more potential for these last close games or do you think it's just being overly optimistic?
Conditioning is always a good thing in any sport. So the more you condition, the stronger, faster you are. They're positively correlated, and I think that the lack of fatigue that that would hopefully bring would help them close out games as well and help lighten the load of top players that consistently play. They probably have maybe eight guys, nine guys in the rotation, maybe even less. I watch other basketball schools or like other college basketball games … I watch a bunch of Duke because my brother went, but there was one year where they had maybe seven guys in the rotation, and you can clearly tell that they were exhausted at the end of each game, and they lost a bunch of close ones that they probably should have won, just because there were only seven guys in the rotation. I think if they were conditioned properly, and they worked on that before the season, that they definitely could have closed out those close games and maybe made it further in the tournament than they did. I just think conditioning won't ever hurt you.
I think there's a combination. I think it's conditioning, and I also think it's having a longer bench than your starting five. If you're going to keep someone in for the entire game, [like] last year, they're obviously going to be tired at the end. And when we're losing games by three, four points … I'm looking at their schedule, there's multiple games where we were within five, and I remember watching and you're like, "Oh my god, we have it!" And then the last two minutes, you're like "What's happening?" I think it's just a combination of things. It's recruiting, so that you have more depth, it's conditioning so you're ready. And also, it's kind of the same as what we were talking about football, an empty stadium is going to affect Northwestern a lot less than it might affect Michigan State, because they don't have the biggest turnout of their games. Obviously our football has been doing well. I think we'll see that it might play in our favor this year.
I agree on all of that. Just to wrap this up, give two key things you're going to be looking for this year and then a record prediction. I'll go first: I think I'm going to be looking for that perimeter defense we mentioned and the further development of Pete Nance and Robbie Beran. I'm going to be optimistic. We're going to go 11-11, 22 games, four non-conference, and go 11-11, maybe 12-10. I think we might be a little more optimistic going into next year.
I guess what I'm looking forward to the most is the development and progression of Boo Buie and to see Miller Kopp as well, see how many points and the improvement that they make, [which] would really help them on offense. Also the transfer from William & Mary, Chase Audige, I'm excited to see what he can bring to the team. I think he averaged around 10 points when he was with William & Mary, so he might be that spark that can also provide some additional help for them. I didn't come with a record prediction, but I would say that in the Big Ten, I'm hoping that they can go 6-12. It would be an improvement on last year, and I hate to be pessimistic, but I think I think a three-game improvement in Big Ten conference play would be a big improvement for them.
I disagree, because I think if you look at our conference games last year, a lot of them were close. So if they're going to do what we're talking about and fix themselves in closing games … I think my phrase would be I'm looking for consistency, like we're saying, or maybe being able to close games. Something I'm looking forward to is, what are the freshmen and the transfer gonna bring? I think they were medium ranked, so that's cool. And then, for the record, I'm gonna be way more optimistic. I'm gonna say 12-6, going to be the opposite. Wow.
I hate to be brief, but I don't want to set expectations too high.
No, set the bar high! Reach for it!

Southside Berkeley residents came to the Planning Commission Wednesday to call for more parks and protest Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).
And one, attorney Christopher Lien, came also to repeat his call for regular attendance at commission meeting by a City Council member—as mandated in the commission's own enabling statue.
Last month Lien presented the commission with a copy of the city ordinance establishing the commission, which in-cludes the requirement that a councilmember attend its meetings and serve as liaison.
Commissioner Susan Wengraf told Lien, "My understanding is that the city clerk is in the process of researching the question," adding that the council has never designated a representative.
"This is very troubling to us because it seems to us you are not taking your mission seriously," Lien replied.
But it was another city ordinance, Measure L, the 1986 initiative that mandates the city to acquire and maintain two acres of parkland for every thousand residents in each census tract, that drew the attorney's attention to the commission's review of the Southside Plan.
Since the plan was enacted as a city priority ordinance "and after paying taxes for 22 years," he said, Berkeley's 11,000 Southside residents still don't have a single acre of parkland, much less the 22 acres mandated by law.
Michael Katz tied in another controversy to the plan, AC Transit's proposal to install a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service down Telegraph Avenue from Bancroft Way to San Leandro.
Bruce Kaplan, manager and co-owner of Looking Glass Photo & Camera on Telegraph, said the elimination of parking along the heavily traveled street would be a disaster for Southside businesses.
Scott Tolmie, a south Berkeley resident, said notices hadn't been given to many residents and businesses, including Alta Bates Summit Medical Center.
BRT, he said, would create havoc for car and truck traffic.
Doug Buckwald tied together the plan, BRT, missing parks and another item on the agenda: UC Berkeley's plan to build a three-story "infill" addition to its law school, replacing its southern park-like courtyard with a building to house classrooms, storage and a restaurant. Two underground floors would be topped with one floor above ground, capped by a planted roof.
The project "violates the basic principles of the Southside Plan," he said, and violates the spirit of Measure L by taking away a publicly accessible space of greenery.
John English, another Southside resident, said he was saddened to see the loss of the courtyard.
Michael Walensky, a Blake Street resident, faulted the plan's partition of land- use zones, which he said could lead to major apartment projects being built adjacent to single family homes.
"I'm calling on you to protect us," he said.
Bob Viener asked commissioners to modify zoning boundaries south of Telegraph. "We want less density, not more," he said, adding that he agreed with the critics of BRT's proposal.
The plan's original draft was created in 2000, three years after the joint city-UC Berkeley effort began.
The Planning Commission draft was completed a year later, then amended in 2003. The project has since bogged down in the drafting of alternatives to be considered in the environmental impact report required by state law.
Principal Planner Alex Amoroso said planning staff will conduct a more thorough review of the plan prior to the launch of the environmental review process.
As for BRT, the proposal will be the subject of an April 9 joint session of the city's planning and transportation commissions.


If you live in Seattle or have visited Seattle then you might have seen the pyramid top building also know as Smith tower in Pioneer Square. New York Times ran an article about the family who lives there and how most if not all materials to renovate the apartment were for free. The blue glass chandelier was given to the family by Dale Chihuly himself. The apartment provides a magnificent view of Seattle and the Puget Sound.
I have to say my favorite part is the chandelier, the windows and the view of course. What about you?
I have actually been to the top of the Smithtower and been inside the blue ball at the top. Their walls which are now their living room, use to be thousands of signatures of those who has been to the top, mine included. Although I'm sad my name is no longer there, I do love what they have done to the place. Very cool!

Man with new kidney, his donor to throw out 1st pitch at Brewers game
Posted 2:42 pm, April 5, 2019, by Megan Pospychala, Updated at 02:57PM, April 5, 2019
MILWAUKEE — A man who wore a T-shirt to a Milwaukee Brewers game in an effort to find a new kidney, will throw out the first pitch alongside his donor and transplant surgeons on Sunday, April 5. It's a "boyhood dream come true" for Lenny Zwieg.
FOX6 News shared Lenny's story back in October 2018, when he attended a Brewers game sporting shirts that read "Share Your Spare." The shirt was in an effort to help Lenny find a kidney donor.
Lenny, a father of three, was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy in 2004 a result of contracting Dengue Fever on a business trip to Africa. He shared the photo on the Facebook page Lenny Zwieg Needs a Kidney, and it went viral.
According to the Milwaukee Brewers, a Wausau-area woman and 2nd grade teacher, Emily Nowak, saw the photo and got tested to see if she was a match — and she was!
Zwieg was set for a transplant on Nov. 2, 2018.
The Brewers, inspired by the story, have given the pair — and their transplant surgeons — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs game is set for 1:10 p.m. Lenny and Emily will throw out the first pitches to the pair's transplant surgeons, Dr. Sahajpal and Dr. Leonovicz. Fans attending Brewers vs. Cubs game will also have the chance to register as organ donors right in Miller Park's concourse through Versiti (formerly the Blood Center of Wisconsin).

Recently Malaysia has ratified the Rome Statute making it the 124th State party to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The International Criminal Court (ICC), located in The Hague, is the court of last resort for prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
It is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.
Its founding treaty, the Rome Statute, entered into force on July 1, 2002.
Although the Court's expenses are funded primarily by States Parties, it also receives voluntary contributions from governments, international organisations, individuals, corporations and other entities.
The Court's management oversight and legislative body, the Assembly of States Parties, consists of one representative from each state party.
Each state party has one vote and "every effort" has to be made to reach decisions by consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, decisions are made by vote. The Assembly is presided over by a president and two vice-presidents, who are elected by the members to three-year terms.
The ICC has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
The ICC is intended to complement existing national judicial systems and it may therefore only exercise its jurisdiction when certain conditions are met, such as when national courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute criminals or when the United Nations Security Councilor individual states refer situations to the Court.
It does not have the capacity to arrest suspects and depends on member states for their cooperation.
Critics of the Court argue that there are insufficient checks and balances on the authority of the ICC prosecutor and judges and insufficient protection against politicized prosecutions or other abuses.
The ICC has been accused of bias and as being a tool of Western imperialism, only punishing leaders from small, weak states while ignoring crimes committed by richer and more powerful states.
ICC cannot mount successful cases without state cooperation is problematic for several reasons. It means that the ICC acts inconsistently in its selection of cases, is prevented from taking on hard cases and loses legitimacy. It also gives the ICC less deterrent value, as potential perpetrators of war crimes know that they can avoid ICC judgment by taking over government and refusing to cooperate.


The recently launched LEADER funding programme has granted a sum of £86,104 to Calcott Hall Farm in Brentwood, helping towards their project to change a currently unused barn next to the farm shop into a café.
The project to rebuild and extend a redundant barn at Calcott Hall Farm is worth approximately £250,000 and this windfall will mean the project can start immediately, with the prospect of creating six jobs by the end of the year. This investment will enable Calcott Hall Farm Café to serve new and existing customers with produce from the farm and other locally produced items. It will also aim to increase visitors and spend at Calcott Hall Farm Shop, which also sells produce from the farm and locally sourced and produced items.
LEADER is an established method of delivering funds under the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE), so that they benefit local projects and funding is accessed through Local Action Groups. This is the first grant to have been made by the Essex Rivers Local Action Group which has been set up to distribute £1.8million of EU funding to rural businesses and organisations in parts of Essex. It covers parts of Colchester, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Braintree, Maldon and Rochford local authority areas and the aim of the Defra grant is to help boost growth and create jobs in the countryside. The Essex Rivers Local Action Group is made up of local community representatives from rural businesses and public bodies and meets every three months to allocate funding.

Story Notes
Fun comic fact: Azazel is Hellboy's father! He also appears in the "Sandman" comic series in the "Season of Mists" plot arch where Morpheus briefly takes ownership of hell, and is the name of a teleporting, devilish foil to Marvel's "Nightcrawler," too!
Azazel is a very old spirit, quite possibly a rival Yahweh. He may have been an old Canaanite god, his name means something like "Ruggedness of God" or "Strength of god." At least in the eyes of Yahwists/early Jews he became a spirit of the wilderness, as opposed to Jahweh, the god of the tribes of Israel. Leviticus 16 describes ritual involving Azazel, where two goats are chosen, one given as an offering to Jahweh, the other sent to Azazel (either "the wilderness" or the spirit Azazel, it's unclear whether he's a place or a supernatural creature). This is echoed in the New Testament when Jesus, a scapegoat figure, speaks to the devil in the wilderness.
Azazel's biggest speaking part is in the non-canon Book of Enoch, where Azazel is one of the highest-ranking members of the Grigori or Watchers, a group of angels sent to watch over humanity, who, pretty quickly, ended up giving humanity a whole lot of secrets and knowledge, sleeping with them, and creating the half-divine nephalim. All of the watchers had skills and powers to teach humanity: Azazel taught warfare and metallurgy, and to the women, the arts of deception and seduction through make-up and hair dying. In another non-canon text (the Apocalypse of Abraham) his parallels to Satan and Samael are stronger, as he's depicted as a sort of "god of the earth" and the spirit who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden story.
Regarding the "goat" connection – besides the scapegoat ritual, Azazel is the king of the sa'ir, or goat demons, who dance in the wilderness along with various howling things, demonic hyenas, cats, and the lilith. Sometimes they're specifically "hairy goat demons," which is maybe a bit redundant. The wilderness was just full of sa'ir and sei'rim: the wilderness was haunted by demons. This particular myth connects Azazel to the satyrs, Pan, and the devil-as-goat of the late medieval witch hunt scare.
MUCH later, in the 1100s, Azazel is identified with Samael, another destroyer-angel who is, also, a contender for the serpent in the Garden of Eden. This is a much later interpretation of the spirit, and while they're similar spirits in some ways, Samael is more a "somewhat fallen angel of death" than "a wilderness spirit opposed to the civilized tribe," and Azazel was never an archangel.
The idea of this ancient spirit haunting the wilderness, offering to guide the lost and tempt them with false promises, who's been fed with the sins of the Jewish people for centuries, could make for a powerful villain, perhaps sympathetic but strange and alien.

Almost two in every five wild plants in the UK are of conservation concern, and some face extinction. To highlight the threat to our native flora, Royal Mail has issued a special set of first-class stamps showing examples of endangered plant species. This is the third in Royal Mail's Action for Species series, on the UK's endangered flora and fauna. The stamps show 10 endangered plants for which there has been some recent conservation success.
Floating water-plantain (Luronium natans) spread eastwards from its core natural habitats in the lakes of Snowdonia and mid-Wales in the nineteenth century, taking advantage of the canal network. In recent decades, however, pollution and recreational boating have led to its disappearance from many lowland waterways.
Round-headed leek (Allium sphaerocephalon) was first discovered in 1847, in the Avon Gorge near Bristol. It has since been introduced in a few, scattered locations.
Lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium calceolus) is one of Britain's rarest plants, having been reduced in the wild to a single specimen in West Yorkshire. Over-grazing and centuries of over-collecting by gardeners and botanists are to blame for its virtual extinction in Britain.
Dwarf milkwort (Polygala amarella), long known from the chalk grasslands of the North Downs in Kent and the limestone grasslands of Yorkshire, has declined in recent years, particularly in Kent.
Marsh saxifrage (Saxifraga hirculus), a rare wild flower of wet moorland and mountain bogs, is now found in only a few localities, chiefly in the northern Pennines and north-east Scotland, with recent losses attributed to land drainage, over-grazing or afforestation.
Downy woundwort (Stachys germanica) may once have been more widespread, but declined markedly in the nineteenth century, and is now confined to a small area of Oxfordshire, where it grows mostly along the verges of ancient green lanes and wood borders overlying oolitic limestone.
Upright spurge (Euphorbia serrulata) is found mainly in a few woodlands in Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Cessation of tree cutting and coppicing, which traditionally created well-lit clearings, is probably to blame for its decline.
Plymouth pear (Pyrus cordata) is a British wild pear that was discovered in 1865 in hedge-banks outside Plymouth. Today, only a few hundred trees exist, in just seven locations.
Sea knotgrass (Polygonum maritimum) grows just above the high-tide level in a few places along the southern coasts of England and Ireland. A Mediterranean species on the edge of its range in southern Britain, it is vulnerable to exceptional tides.
Deptford pink (Dianthus armeria) was once widespread, but over the past 60 years it has suffered one of the most rapid declines of any species in the British flora, as the dry pastures, field borders and hedgerows it needs have steadily disappeared. It is now restricted to about two-dozen sites in England and Wales.
The special stamps were launched on 19 May 2009, with photocalls at Ness Botanic Gardens for L. natans, and at Bristol Zoo Gardens for A. sphaerocephalon, and at Kew and various other places around the country.
At the launch at Ness Botanic Gardens, Keith Hatton from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Liverpool, said: 'This set of stamps will help highlight that many UK species are under threat. I hope that the increased public awareness will make a contribution towards the conservation of these species and their habitats. Here at Ness Botanic Gardens we have been cultivating floating water-plantain, a worldwide-protected species which has become extinct in large areas of its former European range. However, there is a healthy population in the northwest of England and North Wales and we are working to protect and expand this'.
The press release issued by Royal Mail mentioned that 18 May was Plant Conservation Day – a global celebration of plants, dedicated to preserving, protecting, and conserving them for people and the planet; and that the United Nations has designated 22 May as International Day for Biological Diversity to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
The endangered-plant stamps are accompanied by a special Miniature Sheet of four stamps featuring some of the landmark buildings at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew and the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst Place. This set is to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
Fifteen postcards are available bearing enlarged images of each of the plant stamps and the Kew stamps. In an illustrated presentation pack, Gail Vines, former editor of the Plantlife magazine, takes a look at the UK's endangered plants and what is being done to help conserve them.

Musings on becoming a 'Pensioner'
October 27, 2017 nzcrownminesLeave a comment
On 23 October 2017 I became a 'Pensioner'!!
Let me explain:
Under the laws of the country in which i live, when I attain the age of 65, I am entitled to receive a fortnightly amount of money from a grateful government; this being 'Reward' for the taxes I have paid to them as a worker over the last 40 or so years. it si 'free' certainly, although to receive it one has to have an interview with an official i the relevant Government department and, when doing-so, provide them with all the necessary 'bits of paper' that are required to prove that i actually are whom I say I am.
One then waits, hoping that the application has been approved.
That is the easy part; it's the 'psychological' aspect which is more entertaining.
Rightly or wrongly, the term 'Pensioner' has certain attributes attached to it. The perceived image is of an old person (invariably male) with a long white beard, a walking sick and, perhaps, an accompanying beard. he is also usually slightly less than bright and wears a dazed look as it he is trying to make sense of his environment. he also has a 'hat' – a very important piece of apparel which definitely marks him as being 'an Old'. Said hat accompanies him everywhere and is most noticeable when he is driving his (frequently, unsurprisingly, old) car erratically down the local highway. It is, after all, common knowledge that 'elderly men with hats' are the world's worst drivers' and are to be avoided at all costs by all other drivers. the 'hat' is the signature; see it and avoid the vehicle if at all possible.
Except that I am none.of those, although I am certainly male. I do not, for instance, possess a long white beard, a walking stick and definitely not a hat worthy of the name. These are of course all stereotypes and i had certainly embraced them; indeed I actually knew people who conformed to them with a high degree of accuracy. The stereotype was well-entrenched.
Before unintentionally becoming one of the 'Chosen', I had real problems with the image I have detailed above. I was aware, of course, that I was to enter the realm of the 'Pensioner' yet I did not fit my own stereotype. Indeed I was very definitely anything but. I still hold to this view, and to a certain extent am still fighting with it. Certainly my 'calendar'/ physical age is 65 years of age, but the mind that is attached to the frame is still anything but; it still undertakes academic-level research, it still tries to unravel complex problems involving gold mining extraction processes., and it still has sufficient capacity to write a weekly review of books received from a publisher in another country. The mind still asks the questions and the body is still reasonably fit and working well. All of which does not fit the previously-noted stereotype.
My problem therefore is self-inflicted, and a matter of 'self-perception'. The 'mind' says 'You are not 'old' yet (to use an aviation analogy), the air-frame's hours are ever increasing (albeit gradually, imperceptibly). and the skinning is starting to show evidence of a shortening fatigue life. It's an interesting situation, made somewhat more interesting by the apparent visual evidence that I am younger than those around me; the 'real' Pensioners', evidence that can become rather irrelevant when I see my reflection in a shop window or when I am smiled at by a 'young mum'propelling a toddler down the road in a pushchair, and realise that, to her and her ilk I am actually 'Old', a 'Grandfather' if you will. THAT is a dose of reality… There are other, similar, reminders.
So here I am; a 'Pensioner'. It's a new experience, the stereotypes are gradually being eroded, and I am slowly moving (albeit still to a degree 'kicking and screaming') into what I am assured is 'A new stage of my life'. My acquaintances (all of whom have already made 'The Jump') have made me welcome into their world, but it is still a new land, with all sorts of unknowns. I know what I do NOT want to do, yet at this very early stage. I do not know what I CAN do . As I said above, it is apparently a 'new' stage; and it remains to be saeen what form it will take. and how I will react to what I encounter. Age being what it is, there is, of course, no going back, so I am, like it or not 'committed'.To use an aviation analogy, I have passed the 'Point of No Return" in much the same way as an aircraft is committed to fly onwards to its destination because it has nowhere to go and not enough fuel to go back.
The 'flight' promises to be an interesting one…
Inktober 2017: 'Underwater'
Inktober is an annual international fun challenge for whomever cares to participate. The Inktober organisers post a list of numbered daily ideas for 'inspiration' for each day of the month of October, and respondents are then invited to post one original pen and ink piece per day, based on that 'inspiration' , on their favourite pen and ink site.
It's fun and quite challenging. Herewith another example that I I have submitted for Inktober 2017.

BOOK REVIEW: 'The Great Houdini: His British Tours'.
October 26, 2017 October 28, 2017 nzcrownminesLeave a comment
Title: The Great Houdini; His British Tours
Author: Derek Tait
In an age where film stars are treated like royalty and thousands of ordinary people come to merely look at them, it is easy to forget that there was a time when entertainers who were NOT film stars were also accorded the same adoration. One such was Harry Houdini; escapologist extraordinaire. Although an American who was well-known in his homeland, Houdini also toured internationally, making many visits to Great Britain while doing-so. This volume is the story of his 'British' visits.
In the Introduction to this volume, the author summarises its purpose. He states 'I have always been fascinated by Houdini and the more I have read about him, the more I've discovered about all the many venues that he played at all over Great Britain. There have been many books written about Houdini but none cover his tours of Britain in their entirety. In this book I have tried to collect together as many stories, newspaper cuttings, adverts [sic] and photos of his visits to the UK'. He also notes that 'I have tried to include the complete account of the show as it was reported in the local newspaper. This not only gives a good impression of what Houdini's act was like but also gives a feel of the time by including other performers who appeared on the bill,,,' However, lest a reader think that the result of these endeavours could be boring, they are definitely not. The result is an eminently readable and thoroughly-entertaining book.
An Introduction placed behind the Contents page provides background to what follows and traces Houdini's origins and his entry into show business. The main part of the volume follows. This consists of 16 Chapters, 15 of which detail the tours that Houdini undertook in Great Britain between 1900 and 1920. The final Chapter (Number 16) carries the self-explanatory title Timeline of Appearances and Events. An Acknowledgements section follows Chapter 16. In it, the author thanks those who assisted him in the volume's creation. This is in turn followed by a Bibliography which records the books, newspapers and websites which provided information to assist the writer. A 10-page Index completes the work. As already noted, the volume contains numerous photographs, reproductions of relevant postcards and advertisements, together with contemporary line drawings. These are clearly captioned, although only some are sourced,. There is no reference to their existence in either the Index or on the Contents page. It must also be noted that although the body of the volume contains numerous quotes from contemporary newspapers, there are no 'formal' indications of their sources nor supporting citations. This must inevitably reduce the usefulness of the volume as a research document. The volume contains no maps. As a result, without consulting an atlas, the reader has no way of knowing where the locations referred-to actually are. This could be particularly problematical for 'off-shore' readers not familiar with the geography of the British Isles.
This reviewer thoroughly enjoyed this volume, and believes that it will probably appeal to a variety of readers. As it relates to their hero and records a little-known part of his life, 'Houdini-enthusiasts' will no-doubt find it of value. Historians and social-science researchers interested in British entertainment and social conditions for the 1900-1920 period could also find it of use. 'Generalist' readers seeking an entertaining and informative story may also find it worthy of their attention.
On a Rating Scale where 1: very poor, 10: excellent), I have given this volume an 8.
BOOK REVIEW: 'Children's Homes: A History of Institutional Care for Britain's Young'
Title: Children's Homes: A History of Institutional Care for Britain's Young
Author: Peter Higginbotham
As is evidenced by this volume's subtitle, it is 'A history of institutional care for Britain's young'. The author notes that 'The total number of children's establishments that operated over the years [ran[ into many thousands and the children that lived in them probably into millions. As a result, and by 'Casting its net wide, this book takes a look at how these many and varied institutions operated and evolved in the context of changing views of how to best serve the needs of children in their care'. It is a fair summary.
The volume is comprehensive in its coverage of its subject. Within it, the reader is take from the Christ's Hospital (claimed to be '..England's first institutional home for poor or orphaned children'), to the Twenty-first Century and beyond. The story that is presented between these two points is well-researched and written. it is eminently readable, and is both enlightening and (not unexpectedly), at times somewhat depressing.
The main part of the volume consists of 25 Chapters preceded by an Introduction which summarises what is to follow. Of the Chapters, 23 relate directly to the subject. Chapters 24 (Children's Home Records) and 25 (Useful Resources) are however intended to assist genealogists and researchers seeking further information on the topic. Each Chapter covers a specific time-period, with subheadings within it providing more details about specific subjects. There are numerous informatively-captioned illustrations, although these are not sourced, and no mention of their existence appears on either the Contents page or in the Index. Endnotes are employed to provide additional information within each chapter. Chapter-specific and numbered sequentially, their citations appear in a dedicated References and Notes section placed after Chapter 25. A Bibliography follows that section, with an Index completing the volume.
That this book is well-researched is very evident. However, for this reviewer, it was badly let down by its Index. While reviewing the volume, he had occasion to check the Index for additional information concerning British Home Children (p.209). Nothing was found. Subsequent (and random) searches for Australia, Canada and Ontario (subjects which figure prominently within the narrative) had the same result, while a final (also random) search for Hampton (p.213) also found nothing. For a volume with the potential to be an authoritative work on its subject, this discovery was disconcerting. While it cannot be known if other omissions have occurred, for this reviewer, the authority of the Index is now under question. Whether or not this is important will depend-upon the reader.
The mater of the Index notwithstanding, it is possible that this volume may become a major research-tool for those interested in British social history, orphanages, child welfare and the evolution of child foster care within Great Britain.
On a Rating Scale Rating Scale where 1: very poor, 10: excellent, I have given it an 8.

Being the southern-most school in the MIAA A Conference, St. Mary's High lacrosse has adopted the underdog moniker.
Well, these "dogs" are showing some bite out the gate in the nation's premier league. The fifth-ranked Saints knocked off No. 2 St. Paul's School, 11-9, at Tullai Field in Brooklandville.
Johns Hopkins University-bound attack Ian Krampf scored three goals for St. Mary's (5-3 overall), and Nick Lilly added two goals and an assist. Andrew Milani recorded a hat trick for St. Paul's (4-2, 1-1 MIAA A).
After a slow start, St. Mary's dominated play for most of the final three periods to move to 2-0 in MIAA A play. The Saints, No. 3 Gilman School, fourth-ranked Loyola Blakefield and reigning champ and No. 1 Calvert Hall College are early pacesetters in what will be a seven-week grind to the postseason.
Trailing 4-2 early in the second, St. Mary's scored nine of the next 10 goals to cease control. Junior midfielder Allen Hockenberry finished with a goal and two assists.
Lilly said the Saints' veteran roster (33 seniors and juniors combined) was the difference.
"Those guys have a lot of MIAA A experience and we lean on them heavily," said Lilly.
Krampf started the turnaround, scoring off a pass from senior teammate Alex Nilsen with 32.3 seconds remaining in the first quarter. With just 0.3 seconds left in the third, Krampf came around the cage, got inside and beat St. Paul's goalie Jamie Grant, giving the Saints a 7-5 advantage.
Hockenberry's unassisted tally, followed seconds later by Zach Dudley's strike off his faceoff victory, pushed St. Mary's lead to 9-5 with 8 minutes, 36 seconds left in regulation. Hockenberry's second score and longstick BJ Burlace's goal, both coming in a 11-second frame, put the game out of reach.
Nielsen and junior attack Gabe Souza also tallied for the Saints. Junior goalie Wes Schmidt was solid in goal with 10 saves.
Seth Higgins and senior attack Tyler Harry each had a goal and an assist for St. Paul's, which netted four goals in the final five minutes to make the score respectable. Friday, the Crusaders posted an impressive league opening win at McDonogh School, which came in ranked No. 1 nationally by Inside Lacrosse.
In the MIAA A, where the highs and lows are a game-by-game exercise, the Crusaders got a huge doze of the flip side Tuesday.
"We got totally out-classed in every facet, especially between the lines. They kicked our butts in ground balls," said St. Paul's coach Trey Whitty. "We didn't play great lacrosse in the first but we had the lead and should've made it bigger. As soon as things started going south, man, they went south and we could never quite get it back on track.
It was an enjoyable hour-plus trek back to Annapolis for St. Mary's, which welcomes No. 4 Loyola Blakefield to Pascal Field Friday evening for a first-place battle.

The self immolation took place at the lawns of India gate where protesters have been demonstrating against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

New Delhi: A 25-year-old man set himself ablaze on Wednesday in the national capital and doctors said he has suffered 90 per cent burns.
The self-immolation occurred at the India Gate lawns where protesters have been demanding the rescinding of the Citizenship Amendment Act.
Police, however, said that the act by the youth, identified as Kartik Maher from Odisha, was not connected to the protests.
"His brother told us that he is mentally unstable," Deputy Commissioner of Police Eish Singhal said.
According to hospital authorities, Maher's condition is critical.
"The man has suffered almost 90 per cent burns and is unconscious. He has been admitted in the emergency ward and is being attended to by doctors. He is critical," Dr Minakshi Bharadwaj, medical superintendent of the RML hospital, said.
A spokesperson of the Union Home Ministry said the self-immolation by Maher is not linked to protest against the amended citizenship law.
The man appeared mentally disturbed, the official said.

Monica Mazzei talks about Edra and the quality of relationships
Edra, On the Rocks, design Francesco Binfaré, photo Alessandro Moggi
Now in its third generation, Edra is a firm that has chosen to work on the territory. Some of its employees start in the company and then pass the baton to their children and grandchildren. "We're sometimes told that Edra is like one big family, and we find this very rewarding." Conversation with Monica Mazzei
Individual leadership role or teamwork: in which of these approaches do you see yourselves?
A guide is essential, to carry out a program, a project, and conduct teamwork. I think working together is crucial. In the company there is dialogue, constructive and open.
Monica Mazzei, photo Giovanni Gastel
Was there a landmark, a turning point for you and so for the company?
Edra's story began with a very specific project. To create a unique, innovative and independent company. To mark the way ahead, we had a compass in our hands, we had a clear view of what we meant to achieve. Our first collection I Nuovissimi was presented in 1987: it comprised four projects by students of Domus Academy. From there we moved on to Zaha Hadid. I like to use the word "enterprise", which we recently talked about with Francesco Binfaré, because it can mean both "business" and "adventure". And in every adventure there are important moments. We love research, real research, and through the years "inventions" such as Gellyfoam®, the Smart Cushion, the separation of the seat from the backrest, just to name a few, have really brought about a revolution. Over time we have become increasingly aware of some of our characteristics. The way the material used to upholster each product is an integral part of the project and becomes its ideal garment. Because our models are often soft, moving bodies, which sometimes recall natural landscapes and need special fabrics that do not exist and need to be invented. We're increasingly convinced that in the product, technological innovation should always include a hand-crafted component. Over time all these things have been brought together, built up and grown, bringing the company to the present. And we keep doing research.
A product you are especially attached to by its beauty, sustainability, innovation?
I love all the products in our collection. The creation of each one was an experience that helped us grow by discovering new things: materials, the ability to play with light, relations with interiors and people, different ways of sitting. I can tell you which is my favorite one. I love lolling barefoot, utterly relaxed, my legs a little raised and so my favorite has always been On the Rocks. It's a personal choice. I think this is the sincerest answer because it expresses exactly our philosophy and our interpretation of beauty and comfort.
We create products that make an impact. They have character and represent the person who chooses them, in terms of both aesthetics and practical qualities. Everyone can find the one that best suits their own way of sitting or reclining, sleeping, eating, relaxing in the sun, living and enjoying home life. They can all find whatever gives them true pleasure.
Edra, Gellyfoam®, courtesy Edra
The role of technology and the digital.
Products have always incorporated technology. It underpins our experiments, but it's never been flaunted. Technology, for example, is concealed in the Smart Cushion. It serves to ensure a quality result in terms of performance and aesthetics, to combine beauty with individual well-being, which we see as both physical and mental comfort. Technology is also used in the production process to create industrially made yet one-off practical objects. The concept of technology for us has the meaning that téchne had in the classical world: a skill that was valid for a product as for an artwork. But if technology is understood as a general condition that concerns the sphere of communication, I would say that it is a condition of life today and we recognize the need for it. We see its role as a support, not a substitute. We have remained true to the values of the Renaissance, of the artist's workshop rather than the market of speed and digitization. To us it's important for people to meet, see each other in person, touch and try out the products as a way to know and understand them. Edra is a company that does not go in for online sales. We print a lot, from catalogues, to magazines, to books... On the level of digitization, by choice, we do what we believe is appropriate and necessary.

Transformation, change of fortunes in the family business.
We're a family business. My brother Valerio and I grew up breathing the world of design and so did our children. We're the third generation in a firm that has chosen to work on the territory. We're honored that some of our staff start with us and then pass the baton to their children and grandchildren. Sometimes we're told that "Edra is like one big family", and this is very rewarding. But being a family business or a company is not important. What matters is for the management to be professional and attentive to what is useful, and to do the work with the utmost respect.
How are you coping with this economic and social phase?
We have increased production so as to better structure and organize the work phases, and also deal with extraordinary moments. We try to give all possible support to the people who are with us, to our staff and clients, ensuring that our conditions are always the best, giving timely answers and respecting the schedule established in everything. We're trying to maintain our usual determination to offer a service and a product of the highest quality.

I am trying to add image width and height attributes to the code. When I use the google page speed tool it tells me that images in the slideshow are missing width and/or height attributes. I've checked the site for the latest version (2.4) of the code, but I didn't see any change for this option. Does anyone know how I can add this to my slideshow?
You are giving the browser all it needs as far as speed in laying out the page. These are the dimensions that will be reserved for the slideshow. As for the individual images, the script preloads them. So the browser knows their dimensions before it needs to render them.
Is your page very slow?
I was only trying to make my score higher in the google page speed app. It's what told me that I need to add image width and height attributes to the code, to improve my site score. The page itself loads and works fine.

Jamia Student Asif Iqbal Tanha Released on Parole to Sit for Exams
Aasif Iqbal Tanha
The court said that clearing the exams is necessary for Tanha to pursue M.A. in Persian, and that leniency must be shown to the accused by allowing him to appear for the said exams
NEW DELHI – A Delhi court on Friday released Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha — who was arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for allegedly hatching a conspiracy to organise riots in North-East Delhi in February this year — on three-day custody parole to appear for his compartmental examination in December.
Tanha, who is pursuing his B.A. (Hons) in Persian, had moved the court seeking interim bail from November 30 to December 7 to prepare for three backlog exams scheduled to be held on December 4, 5 and 7.
"The court deems it fit to allow the accused on custody parole for appearing in the said examinations. Accordingly, custody parole is granted to accused Asif Iqbal Tanha on December 4, 5 and 7," Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat ordered.
The court said that clearing the exams is necessary for Tanha to pursue M.A. in Persian, and that leniency must be shown to the accused by allowing him to appear for the said exams.
After advocate Sowjhanya Shankaran, representing Tanha, submitted that her client didn't not have the required reading material to prepare for the exams, the judge directed the Tihar Jail superintendent to provide necessary assistance, provided it is within the permissibility of the jail rules.
Tanha was arrested on May 19 in connection with the case and has been in the custody since then. On October 21, he was granted one-day interim bail for taking the entrance examination for M.A Persian at the Jamia Milia Islamia University.
In September, his named figured in the chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police in connection with the riots that broke out in North-East Delhi in February after clashes between pro and anti-Citizenship Amendment Act supporters spiralled out of control, leaving 53 people dead and 748 injured. -IANS

Chemical fiber fabric is a new kind of material which has been developed in modern times.Here mainly refers to the processed into the pure chemical fiber spinning, blended or interwoven fabric, that is made of pure chemical fiber woven fabric, not including between natural fiber and blended, interwoven fabric, the characteristics of chemical fiber fabrics made by the nature of its chemical fiber itself.
Comfort: from simulation to super true.Some of products such as workwear,padding vest,rain jacket.
Chemical fiber has three advantages in the early stage of development: one is strong and durable;The second one is easy to take care of, have anti-wrinkle and avoid pressing characteristics;Third, large-scale industrial production can be carried out, rather than taking up land with natural fibers, and processing time and effort and production are limited.
But these traditional advantages of chemical fiber are no longer "beautiful".One is that nowadays people dress in comfort and fashion, and as the concept of consumption changes, the strong and durable chemical fiber becomes useless.Second, with the development of textile technology, natural fibers can be cleaned after finishing and can be easily managed.Third, people have realized that the petroleum resources cannot be renewable, and the chemical fiber industry, which depends on petroleum resources, will one day face the disaster of "extinction".When the traditional advantage landscape is no longer, the moisture absorption of chemical fiber, poor comfort, poor hand sense and other weaknesses are highlighted.Therefore, starting from the comfort of natural fiber, the natural fiber is the "blue book", and the simulation and transformation of chemical fiber has become the driving force for the progress of chemical fiber technology.
