TIMBER -
AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR DAY TO DAY LIVES
TIMBER ITS DEFECTS, SEASONING AND USAGE IS DISCUSSED IN HERE WITH APPROPRIATE PICTURES MAKING IT QUITE SELF UNDERSTANDABLE
The terms “hardwood” and “softwood” are often misleading because they have no direct relation to the actual physical hardness or softness of the wood, so that a hardwood may actually be softer than a softwood.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. ▣ WOOD
▣ TIMBER
▣ DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WOOD
AND TIMBER
▣ TIMBER IN DETAIL
▣ INDUSTRIAL TIMBER
▣ FORMS OF TIMBER
▣ DEFECTS ON TIMBER
▣ PRESERVATIVE METHODS OF
TIMBER
▣ INTRODUCTIONS OF VARIOUS
TYPES OF WOOD AND
TIMBER AND THEIR USES
3. ▣ Wood is a hand fibrous material that forms the main substances of the
trunk or branches of a tree. It is cut and used on timber or for fuel
purpose. It is solid material derived from woody plants , not only
trees but also shrubs. It is a heterogeneous, hygroscope and cellular
material.
▣ Oak, Maple, Mahogany, Cherry, Walnut, Rosewood, Teak, etc. are
known as HARDWOOD. Pine, Ash, Hickory, Beech, Birch, Cedar,
Fir, Spruce.etc. are ex. Of SOFTWOOD.
4. ▣ It is a wood material which is manufactured into boards. It is used for building,
carpentry and various construction or structural purposes. It can be rough or
finished.
▣ As a rough, it is the raw material for furniture making and other items
required additional cutting and shaping. As a finished it is available in drill
sizes or construction industry and for high grade flooring.
▣ Timber plant species are found in 150 species which are produced
in INDIA.
▣ Tea, Sal, Sandalwood, Sea sum Babul, Banyan, Coconut, Deodar etc, are
some ex. Of Timber.
▣ Timber is available in different forms.–
1. Converted timber , which is sawn and cut into suitable
commercial sizes.
2. Rough timber which is obtained after falling a tree.
3. Standing timber which is available in a living tree.
5. ▣ Wood includes all types of wood which may be burning wood , structural
wood, furniture wood etc. but when wood suitable for use as a structural
material is called Timber.
▣ Wood is commonly found in the stems and roots of the trees. It is natural
composite of cello use fibers.
▣ Timber is used to refer to any stage of the wood after the tree has been cut
down. This may include the felled tree, wood processed for construction ,
wood pulp for paper production etc. Timber is also known as LUMBER.
6. ▣ PROPERTIES OF TIMBER
▣ Timber with heavy weight is considered best quality.
▣ It should be hard uniform and compact.
▣ It should have dark color, straight fibers, and shinning appearance and should
be free from defects and good sound should emit when struck.
▣ SEASONING OF TIMBER
▣ This is the process of drying of timber in order to remove all the
plant juice and moisture out of it so that it will not decay.
Seasoning of timber may be done naturally or artificially.
▣ PRESERVATION OF TIMBER
▣ It is the process which protect the timber from moisture, fungi, insects and
direct weathering effects to ensure its increased life. Oil paints, coal tar,
chemical salts etc are some preservatives are used.
7.
8. ▣ Timber which is scientifically prepared in factory to get the desired shape,
size, appearance, and strength is known as INDUSTRIAL TIMBER. It is
available in various variety such as Plywood, Veneer, Laminated timber,
block board, fiber boards etc.
▣ Veneers are thin sheets or slices of wood of superior quality which are
knife cut by various processes. It is used to produce plywood, batten
boards and laminated boards and this process is called veneering.
Thickness – varies from 4mm to as much as 6mm or
even more.
▣ Plywood is prepared by cementing together thin boards or sheets or wood
into panels. Three or more veneers which are always odd in numbers are
placed one above the other so that the grain of each layer is at right angles
to the grain in the adjacent layer. It is used for interior partition , doors and
paneling. It is generally manufactured in 3 ply, 5 ply , 7 ply and so on.
Thickness - varies from 3mm to 5mm.
9. ▣ Fiber board is rigid board which is prepared after processing pieces of wood,
cane and then pressing them together that’s why it ia also called pressed wood
or reconstructed wood.. It is available in various forms like laminated boards,
hard boards etc. It is used for wall paneling, suspending ceiling and partitions,
table tops, for flush doors etc. thickness- varies from 6mm to as much as
25mm.
▣ Block board has a core made up of strips of wood glued or joined to form a
slab which is further glued between two or more outer veneers in such a way that
direction of the grain of the core blocks running at right angles to the adjacent
outer veneers. These are of two types: commercial and decorative. It
is used for furniture, paneling, partition.
Thickness are 12mm to 50mm length vary from 1.2mm to2.4mm and
width from 90cm to 1.2m.
10. ▣ Hard board are manufactured from wood wastes obtained from saw mills,
inferior timber or short logs. Raw material is converted into chips with the
help of machines which are softened with steam and converted into fibers.
The maximum length is 4.75m and thickness varies from 2mm to 20mm. It
is used for interior or exterior wall panels, ceiling, siding, table and counter
tops etc. It is free from defects like shakes and knots.
▣ Batten boards are just like laminate boards and block boards are made
from timber blocks of width of 8cm and 2to 3cm thick. Direction of the
grains of core batten is at right angles to that of adjacent out ply sheet. There
are used for door panels, table top and other large surfaces.
11. ▣ BATTENS are small sectioned timber pieces.
▣ LOGS : Trunks of trees left after removing all the branches
is called log.
▣ BAULK is roughly squared swan log.

than 5cm thickness and more than 15cm width.
▣ DEAL is also parallel sided piece , thickness varies from 5cm to10cm and
width should not exceed 23cm.
▣ SCANTLINGS are timber pieces , thickness and breath is always more than
5cm and length is not less than 20cm.
▣ POLE OR SPAR is a log having 20cm diameter.
12. ▣ A good timber should be hard ,tough, durable, heavy, straight and
compact fibers, properly seasoned, elastic, dark and uniform color, sweet
smell and freshly surface and adquate fire resistance.
▣ It should be capable of resisting the action of fungi, chemicals and physical
agencies and free from knots, twists, upsets, burls, shakes etc.
▣ A clear ringing sound should be emitted by the timber when struck.
13.
14. ▣ SHAKES : Cracks which partly or completely separate the fibers of wood. Shakes are
many types- star shakes, heart shakes, cup shakes, ring shakes, radial shakes.
▣ RIND GALLS : Curved swelling on the body of the tree.
▣ TWISTED FIBRES: Twisting of young trees constantly in one direction under the
action of strong prevalent winds.
▣ UPSETS OR RUPTURES : This defect changes in direction of wooden fibers due to
felling of tree or fast blowing wind.
▣ KNOTS: These are found at the bases of branches cut off from the tree. They may be

bend in curved form in the direction of length.
▣ CUP : When wooden planks bend in curved form in transverse
direction.
▣ TWIST: Distorted spirally wooden plank along its length.
▣ CASE HARDENING: Upper surface of timber dries very fast and
shrinks.
▣ HONEY COMBING DEFECTS: Various radial as well as circular
cracks develop in internal portion of the timber due to stresses
developed during drying.
▣ RADIAL SHAKES: Radial cracks on the surface of timber
▣ CHECK: A crack separating wood fibers.

16.
17. ▣ Coal tar, Oil paints , certain chemicals and Ascu treatments are generally
used to protect timber.
▣ CHARRING : The timber is charred to be firstly kept wet one hours and then
burnt to a depth of about 15mm and cooled with water, It is called charring. This
protects timber from moisture, fungi, or white aunts.

the best method which is two types
1. Bethel or full cell process– In this process air and moisture get removed
from the timber cells.
2. Rue ping or Empty cell process
▣ HOT AND COLD PROCESS: In this process timber is stacked in the
tank and cold preservative solution till timber stacks get completely
submerged , then heated to a temperature of about 90 degree C and
maintained this temperature for some times.
