Blog: Egyptian Clothes

Not surprisingly given the hot climate Egyptians wore only light clothing. Men wore a loincloth and a kind of kilt. Women wore dresses with shoulder straps. Clothes were made of linen or cotton.
Later in Egyptian history clothes became more elaborate and colourful.
Egyptian’s shaved their hair and wore wigs. Children had their heads shaved to prevent lice (although they usually had a braid left at the side of their heads). It was normal for children to go naked.
Most people went barefoot much of the time but they sometimes wore sandals made from papyrus.
Egyptians wore jewellery. Those who could afford it wore jewellery of gold, silver and precious stones. Poor people wore jewellery made of copper or bronze. Both men and women wore make-up.

Hanesbrands and its employees worldwide have accomplished many important improvement initiatives in the first year as an independent public company. Our ability to manage change has been critical to our success and will continue to be integral to our efforts to achieve our long-term growth goals. The addition of fabric production capacity in El Salvador is another significant milestone in our efforts to create a lower-cost supply chain operating fewer, larger plants that are more effectively aligned with our production flow. We already own sewing plants in El Salvador and elsewhere in Central America. We now have a textile and sewing base in Central America that gives us flexibility to expand and leverage our large scale of production,” said Hanesbrands Chief Executive Officer Richard A. Noll.

The plant, which is 350,000 square feet, was already producing these materials for Hanesbrands before the company agreed to purchase it. “This is an extremely strong operation with an outstanding management team and workforce who are already very familiar with our products and way of doing business. We are expanding in El Salvador as we create a balanced global supply chain and move production to lower-cost countries to remain competitive,” said Gerald Evans, Hanesbrands executive vice president and chief global supply chain officer.

blog:Mobile Phones Reading T-shirts

In Japan, people have been using barcodes to access information using their mobile phones for a few years now. Placed on billboards, business cards, and other advertising media, consumers take a picture of barcodes and the software program inside the mobile phone directs them to the corresponding website. Now, a company called Augme.com had designed a line of T-Shirts with barcodes that can be scanned easily using a mobile phone device.
For small and large businesses, this type of advertising is inexpensive and could become very popular. Those wearing the T-Shirts can promote their favourite companies or products, or advertise their own businesses. The barcode on the shirt is called a ‘tag’ and can be scanned by any mobile phone device that has the technology to read and download the information.

blog:UK Retailer Still Cautious After Slight Decline in Profits

Many UK retailers in the past year have seen declines in sales, but with the upcoming holiday season, large retailers like Woolworth’s are confident they will see an increase. In order to prepare for the holiday shopping season, the company recently debuted its new discount line which includes a variety items from T-Shirts to home appliances.
“We are confident that, operationally, the businesses are in good shape, with strong customer propositions going into the critical Christmas trading period. However, we continue to be cautious about the trading environment and have planned accordingly by focusing on cost control, cash generation and margin enhancement,” said Chief Executive Trevor Bish-Jones in a written statement.

In addition to Woolworth stores, the company also owns two entertainment companies, E.UK and 2 Entertain. The company overall has a 17% increase in sales in the last quarter which was “driven primarily by the acquisitions and contract wins within the entertainment wholesale business,” said the company.

Hamas security men approached him as he was leaving a mosque in Rafah. According to a source close to Hamas, Muhajir and his bodyguards threatened to detonate explosive belts they were wearing, and escaped.
The group let it be known that this Friday its spiritual leader, Abdul Latif Moussa, would declare an “Islamic emirate”.

blog : My Classmate Mary

Mary is one of my classmates. we are good friends. She is a little bit special, for it is hard to find a girl so fat in her teens. Someone says, “She seems like a big snow ball with two smiling tiny eyes which can speak. ”
  Mary is kind and warm-hearted. When somebody in class falls ill,she goes to attend to① him or her. When John has troubles in his studies, Mary always helps him with his lessons. As I am not able to knit a sweater②, she lends me hand in doing so. When classes are over, she is always the first to clean the blackboard. When an old teacher has difficulty in walking upstairs, she goes over to support him or her. In a word, whenever she is in need, she never stand by with arms folded.Although she is so fat, she is quite quick in action and full of energy. You can often see her on the playground, either playing basketball or volleyball. Sometimes, I make fun of her by saying, “You’d better play football as a doorkeeper③.” She just tolerantly④ laughed. It is something that I admire her because she is never in the mood of self-humiliation⑤ forher fatness.
  An old saying goes that “being lovely makes a person pretty”. I think that it is true of Mary since she is the case in point⑥.

blog :conservation-oriented society

Dear fellow students,
  Our government is aiming to build a “conservation-oriented society” I think it is every citizen’s duty to achieve this goal.
  As high students, what should we do?
  We should focus our attention on details around ourselves. We should form the habit of saving water, especially when we brush our teeth and wash hands, and never leave water running unnecessarily. Meanwhile, we ought to save electricity. When we leave classrooms or our homes we should make sure that the light and some electrical equipments have been turned off. Do never make the light on in the daytime if unnecessary. We should also save our every piece of paper as well as other writing materials. What’s more, we should offer to recommend our relatives and friends as well as our parents to save energy.
  Dear fellow students, let’s start right now, and spare no effort to do every little bit from every detail on!

blog:Technologically Advanced T-shirts

For athletes, those who have medical conditions, and those who don’t want to overdo it while exercising, monitoring their heart rate so they will know when to rest and when to remain active has never been an exact science. Most people either take a measure of their pulse or quit when their bodies have had enough. But Sensatex is developing a new line of T-Shirts that monitor heart rates to give the wearer a more exact measurement. The shirts also monitor respiration and movement.
“We will be marketing the shirt directly, as well as looking to use joint ventures and licensing agreements. It’s hard to say exactly when the shirt will be available, which is also dependent upon the results of the beta tests. As far as decorating properties go, the current version displays the Sensatex logo, so depending on the application, there should be decorating opportunities,” said Kristin Gomex, and account executive for Sensatex.

There lies a mountain

My father went home and made a nonsencial fight with my mom then went away…

Sometimes I fell in despair, facing the night sky,asked myself again and again :”Will I be able to change the current situation?And when?” I’m tired of this kind of life.Every time I was down ,I feel like a shoulder to lean on.But I have never asked someone for help.Will somebody understand,will it be necessary?I doubt.Gradually I learned :The pain should and only can be cured of by myself…Fortunately,I’ll be all right soon .

However,I felt so sorry for my mom.Because of me,she bore so much pain.If I was a boy,my mom would never be overlooked by my grandparents and the illegitimate son may never be born !

”’ ”’ ”’ ”’ ”’ ”’
There lies a mountain between me and my father.There lies a mountain between me and my grandparents.They thought girls of nothing.They believe:A girl won’t be superior to a boy…
……………………………….
Whatever they say and whatever they thought means nothing to me now,for I know :There lies a mountain between us,we have different valus and we live in different world.
