Gimp weaving8/30/2023 ![]() When Stefanie Johnson is not educating her community on how to minimize the spread and impact of COVID-19 and other communicable diseases, she enjoys creating unique items and helping others learn to spin, knit, and weave. North Adams, Massachusetts: Storey Publishing, 2012. ![]() The Spinner’s Book of Yarn Designs: Techniques for Creating 80 Yarns. Left to right: Farrow rib, stockinette, and plain-weave swatches worked in gimp yarn. With a closer sett, that weave structure could be made tighter for a durable woven fabric that would be perfect for a cozy, lightweight throw. The gimp yarn’s bumpy texture locked together, making the weave structure less open but giving it a beautiful drape. The traditional three-ply alpaca yarn, woven at 13 wraps per inch (wpi), was slightly thinner than the gimp yarn in the same fiber at 12 wpi however, there was a noticeable difference in the openness of the weave structure. How does gimp yarn affect weave structure? To find out, I wove some small squares in plain weave on a 4-inch pin loom with both a gimp yarn and a traditional three-ply yarn. When exploring other uses for gimp yarns, my thoughts wandered over to my looms. Knit up, gimp yarns give the surface of plain stockinette stitch a slightly textured, less uniform look, creating a more rustic quality. Some spinners use gimp yarns for socks when they prefer not to spin more traditional three- or four-ply yarns. The durable structure of gimp yarn lends itself to knitted items that receive a high amount of wear, such as socks and mittens. Notice the dramatic difference in the look of the spiral in the bulkier gimp yarn at the bottom compared to the finer gimp yarn at the top. Based on that information, she tried spinning several different gauge combinations (D and E). She tried plying with different angles and amounts of twist (B and C) to decide what she liked. ![]() Stefanie started by spinning a finer, higher-twist single and larger, lower-twist single (A). Note that the heavier the weight of the gimp yarn, the more visible the spiraling effect will be, so the difference in the thicknesses of the two plies looks more dramatic in a bulky-weight yarn than in a laceweight. For stronger spiraling effect, hold the thicker single at a 45-degree angle to the orifice while holding the thinner single straight on. The method of plying influences the extent of the spiraling, but with gimp yarns’ differently sized singles, the yarn will inevitably appear to spiral, even when both singles are held so that they enter a spinning wheel’s orifice straight on. I prefer to knit with high-twist yarns (when using yarns with loose ply twist, I often split the yarn with my knitting needle), so for me, a gimp yarn is a good way to produce a high-twist yarn that doesn’t feel like twine. There is something attractive about the imbalance created by spinning a soft, fluffy single and a thinner, denser single and then plying them together with a high twist. I find gimp yarns pleasing to both the eye and the hand. To increase the spiral effect, hold the larger single at a stronger angle. When plying a large and small single, the yarn will appear to spiral, even when the singles are both held at the same angle and with the same tension. The bumps fit together when knit, creating a durable fabric that is denser than a piece knit from a standard two-ply yarn with equal-diameter singles. When plied, the thicker single produces bumps along the length of the yarn. In her book The Spinner’s Book of Yarn Designs: Techniques for Creating 80 Yarns, Sarah Anderson explains that a gimp yarn is constructed from two singles plied together, with one single having half the diameter of the other. For the handspinner, gimp means something a little different. ![]() In the textile world, the term “gimp” originally referred to thread that had a cord or wire running through the center today, gimp is often used to indicate a braided or twisted trimming made from this type of thread. Gimp yarns can be considered spiral-adjacent yarns, but occasionally, you’ll find them classified with bouclé. Although I admit that many of my handspun yarns remain in my basket for quite some time before becoming finished objects, the sense of energy in my spiral yarns makes them feel as though they’re begging to be used! They’re the wiggly students in class, yearning to participate. I enjoy seeing the mesmerizing cascade of coils undulating from my basket of handspun. Spiral yarns are quite possibly my favorite types of yarn to create.

Say you wont let go meaning8/30/2023 ![]() After a few more practices, Saeyoung's voice started adjusting with the pitch and tune of the song. He was already starting to get pessimistic, and he hadn't even practiced the song twice.Īnd there was Saeyoung, suddenly changing back to being optimistic. Zen would probably laugh, and (Y/n) wouldn't even like this gift." Saeyoung exclaimed, tearing himself down. Saeyoung nodded, shooing his brother out. "Fine, but stop calling me 'little brother'." He exclaimed, averting his attention back to the game on his D.s. Now I'm kinda busy little bro, so, could you leave your big bro for a bit?" Saeyoung replied. "Pssh, I don't know what you're talking about. Jumpy than usual." Saeran added, looking up from his D.s. "What's wrong with you today?" Saeran commented, looking down at Saeyoung who had once again collided with the floor. Of course, someone had walked in on him again. Hopefully there was one to match the relationship between you and Saeyoung. Saeyoung scrolled through the many songs of YouTube. He was clearly too lazy to create one, and barely had any time left.

Give that back to me! That costed me my life savings!!"

As if he hadn't forgotten any other important gift of the year.īefore Saeyoung knew it. Saeyoung sighed again, as you closed the door. "Just a small reminder! My party is in an hour~! See ya there!" You exclaimed, heading out the door. He casually laughed, blushing with embarrassment. Are you okay?" You asked, walking towards Saeyoung. "Gahh!!" He yelled, as he collier with the floor. Your voice startled Saeyoung, as he fell off his chair. He took a sigh, continuously spinning in his chair until you knocked upon his door. Everything he tried to pick just didn't seem to match you. She just needs a present, nothing too big, I believe that's how (Y/n) would be.ħ07: Okay! I'm on a mission to get the perfect present!! Jumin Han: Clearly, we thought as her significant other, that you'd know her birthday. Zen: Seriously?! You forgot about (Y/n)'s birthday?!?ħ07: Ahhhh!! Why did nobody tell me before?! Which meant that he had a few hours before your party. Today was your birthday, and due to hacking deadlines, Saeyoung had completely forgotten and had to think about a last minute present before your birthday. 707, or now a days, Saeyoung Choi, pondered aimlessly as he spun in his office chair.

Beyonce queen bee8/30/2023 ![]() (She also opened the show with Prince, performing a medley of his hits as well as "Crazy In Love.")Īfter all that Dangerously In Love helped Beyoncé achieve - including a national anthem performance at the 2004 Super Bowl - her star only continued to become bigger and brighter as the years went on. In fact, Beyoncé took home not one but five GRAMMYs that night - Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Crazy In Love," Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Dangerously in Love 2" and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group for her Luther Vandross duet "The Closer I Get to You" - further showing that her solo career was just getting started. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and scored Beyoncé a GRAMMY for Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2004. The song's chart success also foreshadowed her remarkable superstardom, as it held the top spot for eight weeks its follow-up, "Baby Boy" featuring Sean Paul, solidified her prestige, as it reigned the Hot 100 for nine weeks.ĭangerously In Love enjoyed major success as a whole, too. From its vibrant horns to a brilliant display of Beyoncé's growing vocal octaves, it was no surprise that lead single "Crazy In Love" became her first No. "I guess they were kind of right… I had five."Īnd thanks to those five hits - "Crazy in Love," "Baby Boy," "Me, Myself and I," "Naughty Girl," and "Dangerously in Love 2" - she swiftly proved her critics wrong. "They told me I didn't have one hit on my album," she said. Yours" Las Vegas residency in 2009, her record label was also among the doubters. As she cheekily recalled during her "I Am. While her humility never faltered despite her growing fame, the singer also knew she exceeded many expectations. "I just want people to acknowledge me and for the songwriting, and I just want to make some good music." "I want my solo record to be successful, but I don't expect it to do as well as Destiny's Child," Beyoncé told Complex in 2003. Still, there were many naysayers who didn't believe in Beyoncé's solo star power at the time - even Beyoncé herself. There's her unshakeable chemistry with Jay-Z (who features on lead single "Crazy in Love" and "That's How You Like It"), her knack for unexpected samples and interpolations (like the play on Donna Summer 's "Love to Love You Baby" in "Naughty Girl") and intricately layered harmonies ("Yes"), her sensual expression ("Gift From Virgo") and her hit-making power ("Baby Boy"). )īey's solo debut also outlined the fundamentals that would eventually become the foundation of her superstar status. Turning 21 during the recording process - and falling in love with then-rumored beau and now husband, Jay-Z - Beyoncé embraced her womanhood with sultry vocals and adoring odes on tracks like "Be With You" and "Speechless." (The album's name and title track also harken back to her Destiny's Child days, as "Dangerously In Love" was a Beyoncé co-write that was initially featured on Survivor. She experimented with sounds that steered away from the Pop&B girl power anthems of yore, whether it was on the futuristic "Hip Hop Star" with Big Boi and Sleepy Brown or the use of Arabic strings in "Naughty Girl."Īt the same time, Dangerously In Love expands on her R&B roots with stunning balladry, with Beyoncé musing about the various stages of love. Throughout its 15 tracks, Beyoncé displayed a newfound confidence and a hunger for creativity. Released on June 24, 2003, Beyoncé's Dangerously In Love laid the groundwork for the GRAMMY-winning icon she is today. ![]() One of the founding members of Destiny's Child, Beyonce was also the group's main vocalist and co-writer, proving her prowess as a star in her own right - and her debut solo album solidified her, well, destiny. 1 of their career, and their 2001 LP, Survivor, was yet another worldwide success for the group. ![]() ![]() Their 2000 smash "Independent Women Part I" was the longest-running No. * Please kindly note that color may vary slightly from monitor to print due to monitor settings.By the turn of Y2K, Destiny's Child was on top of the world. – Please check out our size chart for measurements to ensure an accurate fit We suggest ordering a size smaller than what you would normally wear. – The Unisex sizing makes the shirt run larger than your average t-shirt (for women).

What is the true story behind the hero of A Hidden Life, Terrence Malick's powerful and spiritual film about a conscientious objector in the face. This film, inspired by true events, follows them through the years of World War II as he decides to make a stand against the Nazis, an act for which the real-. A Hidden Life: Directed by Terrence Malick. Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for A Hidden Life. King's thirst for racial justice, nonviolence, and freedom made him a pioneer in breaking down barriers and building. As a Baptist minister, civil rights leader, and Nobel laureate, Dr. Joe operates for most of the movie on the mistaken assumption that the You Seminar is meant to give souls their singular purpose, but as a Jerry explains before Joe returns to Earth to play in the Quartet, that understanding is far too simplistic. Terrence Malick's WWII drama A Hidden Life is inspired by true events, telling a heroic story of one man's defiance in the face of tyranny. His Essential Writings show how his Quaker understanding of life is more relevant now than ever given the perilous world situation. Early in Soul, it's established that it's the You Seminar's job to prepare souls to begin life by creating their personalities and helping them find their "spark," but its in the third act that it becomes clear precisely what that spark is, or perhaps more importantly, what it is not. It is run by the Jerrys: various manifestations of "the coming together of all quantized fields of the universe" which take a form legible to the human mind for the benefit of Joe and the audience. The You Seminar is the preceding counterpart to the afterlife. Such is the two-sided coin of The Zone, as Moonbeam describes: passion can consume them in a positive way, but passions and negative feelings alike can lead a soul astray. 2019 PG-13 2h 54m IMDb RATING 7. Soul suggests that when these feelings take hold of you, as they do 22 during the film's climax, your soul becomes encased in a cocoon of negative feeling.

Navy frigate8/30/2023 ![]() ![]() On May 20, 2021, a contract option was awarded for the second frigate, USS Congress (FFG 63). The frigate Chesapeake was launched on 2 December 1799 at the Gosport Navy Yard, Virginia, and commissioned on with Captain Samuel Barron in command. But Congress in Fiscal Year 2022 legislation mandated a pause on the second yard effort, arguing the Navy must mature the design before bringing in a second shipbuilder. ![]() The program is transitioning from functional to detail design with Critical Design and Production Readiness Reviews planned prior to the start of lead ship construction in fiscal 2022. The HCFP will provide the Australian Defence Force with the highest levels of anti-submarine capability, and will set in place continuous naval shipbuilding as. The service’s requirement is 20 frigates and it has the option to bring in a second yard to build the small combatants. The contract was awarded through a full and open competition, with multiple offers received. On April 30, 2020, the Navy awarded the Detail Design and Construction (DD&C) contract for 10 ships (one base-year ship and nine option ships) and obligated funding for FFG 62 to Marinette Marine Corporation (also known as Fincantieri Marinette Marine) in Marinette, Wisconsin. These capabilities include an Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR), Baseline Ten (BL10) Aegis Combat System, an Mk 41 Vertical Launch System, communications systems, countermeasures, and added capability in the electronic warfare/information operations area with design flexibility for future growth. SEA will build and install communications systems for the Royal New Zealand Navys Te Kaha and Te Mana (pictured) frigates under phase two of the MoDs Frigate Sustainment - Communications project. 1 The contract guarantees that Fincantieri will build the lead ship (the first ship designed for a class) and gives the Navy options to build as many as nine additional ships. FFG 62 will be fielded with multi-mission capability to conduct air warfare, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, electromagnetic maneuver warfare. On April 30, 2020, the Navy awarded Fincantieri Marinette Marine a contract to build the Navy’s new surface combatant, a guided missile frigate long designated as FFG (X).
