This document discusses different types of selvedges used in weaving to prevent fraying of fabric edges. There are three main types: conventional selvedges produced on shuttle looms, which require strength; tuck selvedges where extra yarn is pulled into the shed; and fringe selvedges where alternating weft tails point up and down to hide the fringe. Special selvedges are needed when the weft yarn is cut, and leno structures that twist or lock outside ends with thread are also used to create strong, uniform selvedges.

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.

3. 4.1 Requirements of Selvedges
The basic function of selvedge is to lock the outside threads of a piece
of cloth and so prevent fraying.
It is easy to achieved if the weft yarn is inserted continuously from
one package, such as a pirn on a conventional shuttle loom, because,
each time the package carrying shuttle reverse its direction, a hairpin of
weft yarn will form round the last thread in the cloth provided that this
end changes its position between picks.
Requirement for selvedge:
1.Strong enough to withstand the strains during finishing process.
2.The selvedge should have a neat and uniform appearance.
3.Uniform to allow garment manufacture to line-up one edge of the
fabric; layer upon layer so that many layers can be cut simultaneously
and accurately.
4. 4.2 Types of Selvedges
4.2.1 Conventional Selvedge
• Produced on a conventional shuttle loom.
• Required strength for the post-weaving
process to withstand the rubbing-action of the
shuttle as it enters and leaves the warp shed.
• Strength is also necessary to counteract the
pulling of the weft thread as the shuttle
traverses the loom, and this function must be
performed by the outside ends of the fabric.
5. Conventional Selvedge
• Uniformity of appearance may be a
problem if the outside ends in the
fabric do not change position every
pick.
• Happens in twill and satin-type
weaves.
• If the appearance of the selvedge is
unacceptable when one of these
weaves forms the ground structure,
then it will necessary to use some
special technique of threading up or
to introduce a plain-weave selvedge
for a width of up to 1 cm at each side
of the fabric.
• Alternatively, it may be quite
satisfactory to make only the outside
end in the fabric change position
after each pick and it is known as a
catch cord or catch end.
6. Conventional Selvedge
• The fabric surface must be absolutely uniform
from one side of the cloth onto the other.
• It is thus not possible to vary the construction of
the fabric in any way in the selvedge.
• Under these circumstances, a thread of strong
monofilament yarn or a length of flexible wire is
used as the catch cord.
• This thread, which is fastened to a point on the
frame at the back of the loom, changes its
position after each pick.
• However, it extends for only 1-2cm into the
fabric.
• As the cloth is drawn forward, it will slide of the
thread to leave a small loop of weft at the side of
the fabric, but there will not be an increase in
thickness.
Small Loop of Weft at the Side of the Fabric
7. 4.3 Tuck and Fringe Selvedges
• There are several instances in which special selvedge
consideration become necessary because the yarn is
severed, namely:
– at the centre of a wide fabric that is cut at the loom so that
several narrow fabrics are produced side by side.
– at both of a fabric in which the weft is cut after each pick
length.
– at one side of the fabric in which the weft is cut after every
two picks.
– Tuck and fringe selvedges are most commonly used under
these circumstances.
8. 4.3.1 Tuck Selvedge
• Probably the more effective in
preventing fraying and yet achieving
the necessary standards in strength
and appearance.
• A trail of yarn, which extends beyond
the last selvedge end, is pulled into
shed formed for the next pick.
• Provided that the last end changes
position after each pick to catch loop,
a selvedge is produced that is
acceptable for a wide range of uses.
• In many instances, it is necessary to
reduce the number of ends/cm in the
selvedge to compensate for the
increase in weft density.
9. 4.2.2.2 Fringe Selvedge
• The most successful in
preventing fraying and
providing strength but as
successive picks are beaten-up
the weft tails are made to point
up and down alternately by the
crossing end so that the fringe
does not appear.
Leno Structure with the
Outside Ends
10. 1. The simplest fringe selvedge requires only a
chain, illustrated below:
• The standard end is held in a
fixed raised position by a loop.
And the crossing end passes
through the eye of a heald on the
back shaft and also through a ring
mounted on the end of the chain.
• When the back heald is down,
the chain is pulled round the
standard end, but, on the other
pick, when the heald is raised,
the chain pulls the crossing end
to the opposite side of the
standard end.
11. • Another method, requires an additional mechanism, uses
wires with holes in their upper end as the diagram below:
• These methods control the crossing
ends that are in the raised position
when the weft is inserted.
• Between picks, they fall and then rise
again in the same vertical plane by
means of cam operation.
• In the meantime, the standard ends
that are permanently in the down
position are given a side traverse by a
second cam when the crossing ends
are in their lowest position.
• The direction of the side traverse is
reversed after each pick.
12. 2. Leno structure by twisting the outside ends around
one another
Leno Structure by Twisting
the Outside Ends
Disc Carrying Two Bobbins Disc, Fell and Cloth
13. 3. Leno structure by locking the outside ends with an additional fine
monofilament thread, which is stitched into the edge of the fabric:
• Requires an additional mechanism and it’s
unpopular.
• The sewing needle must oscillate once every
one or two picks depending on the openness
of the weft set.
• The locking needle oscillates vertically with
the same frequency from a second cam to
catch and hold the sewing thread.
• The fringe selvedge is basically untidy, and a
neater appearance is generally essential.
• Such an improvement can be achieved if all
the protruding weft threads are cut off to the
same length and as near to the body of the
fabric as possible.
