What it takes to spin a good yarn!
That plastic bottle you tossed into the recycling bin yesterday could end up in the chair youll be sitting in tomorrow! Well, perhaps not quite that fast, but eventually. It may seem hard to believe, like many a well-spun yarn (story), but in the textile industry, its actually true. Thats because the basic component in the textile manufacturing industryfibercan be either natural or synthetic. A fiber is a substance thats significantly longer than it is wide. Natural fibers (known as staple fibers) develop or occur in the fiber shape and come from animal, vegetable and mineral sources, such as wool, silk, cotton and linen. Then there are synthetic, or man-made, fibers (known as filament fibers), which are cellulosic, thermoplastic and mineral in nature. Their chemical composition is significantly modified during the manufacturing process, and they are used to produce rayon, polyester, nylon and fiberglass. This is not the type of fiber your doctor tells you to eat for good health, but it

How the Color of Your Office Impacts Productivity
If your office walls are painted dull gray -- the coldcolorof warships, concrete and cubicles -- its time for a makeover. A University of Texas studyfound that bland gray, beige and white offices induced feelings of sadness and depression, especially in women. Men, on the other hand, experienced similarly gloomy feelings in purple and orange workspaces. Similar scientific studies have shown that colors dont just change our moods, they also profoundly impact ourproductivity, for better and for worse. Thats why its best to decorate your workplace with a vibrant medley of stimulating hues that increase output and spark creativity. Low-wavelength colors, like restful green and calming blue -- two of the most common colors in Mother Natures palette -- improve efficiency and focus. They also lend an overall sense of well-being. Bottom line: If you want happier, more effective workers, green and blue are wise choices. Red, a high-wavelength color, is active, intense and alarming at times.
