It is spun from carding carded rolag s. It is generally spun from shorter staple wool stapled fibers.

Technique The first step to spin a true woolen yarn is to card the fiber into a rolag using carding Hand carders handcarders . The rolag is spun without much stretching of the fibers from the cylindrical configuration. The hand holding the fiber is the active hand, and the one closer to the wheel is passive. The passive hand smooths yarn, picks out vegetable matter, and pulls out extra bits of fluff, ref name SpinOff Huebscher Rhoades, Carol. Spinning Basics The Long Draw. SpinOff Winter 2004 74 76. ref but that is all. The work of drafting is done by the active hand, and most of the regulation and smoothing of yarn is done by twist and tension. Drafting is done by pinching off a short section of the rolag, and then pulling back while twist is added to it. The active hand pulls back until the yarn is the desired thickness. The passive hand controls how much twist is allowed in the drafting yarn too much twist and the yarn won t draft too little and the yarn will break. Twist concentrates in the thin areas of the yarn, solidifying these. Thus the tension doesn t stretch these parts thinner, but instead drafts the thicker parts until all the yarn is approximately the same thickness. This has the effect of automatically thinning out the thicker parts, which is what allows this technique to work. Once the yarn is the desired thickness ... more details

A liquid mirror space telescope is a concept for a type of reflecting space telescope which uses a reflecting liquid such as Mercury element mercury as its primary reflector. ref Citation title Liquid Mirror Telescopes journal American Scientist volume 95 year 2007 pages 216 223 author Paul Hickson ref There are several designs for such a telescope 1. Twirled Pail A pair of objects, one the mirror assembly and the other a counterweight possibly containing a camera assembly, are spun up to induce centripetal acceleration on the surface of the mirror assembly. 2. Half Toroid A hollow toroid torus a doughnut or spare tire shaped object is spun up to maintain centripetal acceleration against the inside wall. The camera assembly sits in the center. The torus width is arbitrarily large. Optional other pieces include a large flat mirror in the center to allow randomly orienting the mirror without frequently changing the axis of spin. 3. Balloon A balloon with a reflective liquid on the inside is spun up and it deforms itself into a parabolic shape. A flat mirror on the inside reflects light to the concave surface. Regardless of the specific configuration, such a telescope would be similar to an earth based liquid mirror telescope. However, instead of relying on Earth s gravity to maintain the necessary parabolic shape of the rotating mercury mirror, it relies on artificial gravity instead. Other possibilities for inducing a parabolic shape in the reflecting liquid include magnetic fields on a viscous and partially magnetic liquid internal pressures or surface tension effects on a reflective liquid creating the telescope while the reflective surface is liquid but depending on cooling effects to solidify the surface and then using that as the telescope main mirror. The concept is seen as an enabler of very large optical space telescopes, as a liquid mirror would be much lighter to deploy and cheaper to construct than a conventional glass mirror of comparable performance.

Merge Hazara, Pakistan date March 2012 On the dissolution of West Pakistan in 1970, Hazara District and the two attached tribal agencies were merged to form the new Hazara Division with its capital at Abbottabad . The division was initially composed of three districts Abbottabad District , Kohistan District and Mansehra District but within a few years, Haripur District was spun off from Abbottabad District and Batagram District was spun off from Mansehra District. Hazara remained a District right up to its conversion into a Division in 1976. In October 1976, Mansehra was given the status of a full fledged District, which consisted of Mansehra and Batagram Tehsils. Subsequently in July 1991, Haripur Tehsil was separated from Abbottabad and made into a district. Thus only the old Tehsil of Abbottabad remained, which was declared as Abbottabad District. In 2000, administrative divisions were abolished and the fourth tier districts were raised to become the new third tier of government in Pakistan.
