How do you calculate the fabric consumption for knit garments?
Firstly, you've to know what you going to make or about the measurement? All measurement has it LENGTH & WIDTH. Equations as bellow-
# Body Length + Sleeve Length + 10 (for folding {sleeve & bottom}) * (Chest width + 4 C.M.) * 2 / 10,000 * G.S.M. (Gram per square meter) Range / 1000 * 12 * 10% (wastages)
= K.G. per Dozen

The standard measurement for weight and quality of fabrics is grams per square meter, usually abbreviated as GSM. This is the accepted standard in the United States as well as in foreign countries. Towels and bath robes typically vary from 300 to 800 GSM; other fabrics may have values as low as 100 GSM. The same units are used for toilet paper and other tissues (18 to 22 GSM is typical) as well as paper towels (35 to 50 GSM is typical).
Occasionally I receive requests to convert these units to U.S. pounds (usually from U.S. visitors who are not comfortable with metric units). The reason grams per square meter are used even in the U.S. is that they are a more accurate indicator of quality than pounds. Let's compare, for example, two towels both weighing 1.5 pounds (680 grams) but with different dimensions, as follows:
Towel A weighs 1.5 pounds (680 grams) and measures 26 by 52 inches (.66 by 1.32 meters).
Calculate the surface area by multiplying the length and width in meters: .66 times 1.32 equals .8712 square meter.
Divide the weight in grams (680) by .8712 and find that you have a 780 GSM towel-quite plush.
Towel B also weighs 1.5 pounds (680 grams) but is larger, measuring 34 by 68 inches (.864 by 1.727 meters).
Multiply .864 by 1.727 to determine the area: 1.4921 square meters.
Divide 680 grams by 1.4921 and find that this towel is only 455 GSM-nice but not nearly as plush as Towel A.
As you can see from these examples, there is no direct conversion between GSM and pounds; the total weight of the towel is actually the product of the GSM and the towel's dimensions.
NOTE: The surface area of a bath robe would be harder to figure because of the various pieces and angles, so the GSM would be equally difficult to figure this way.
How do you make a candle tower?
To make a candle tower (if think you mean candle tower as a melted wax tower), it's actually really simple. First, you're going to want a baseboard (I have a cut sheet of plywood as mine) that you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty. As a strong note, this project gets messy over a large area when the wax splatters. Next, you're going to want to get a base to hold the candle (eg. candlestick, old glass bottle, something of that sort). Then you're going to want to get taper candles (any color or height) to stick in the candle stick. Then light the candle! Once the candle has burned down, stick the next one in. From there all you have to do is keep burning more and more candles to your heart's content. Hope that helped!
P.S. Watch for overly hot and humid days. Wax does melt when the temperature gets over 95, things will start leaning.

What should you use to get latex paint out of hair?
If it's latex, just soak your head in warm water for about ten minutes and then comb through it. The paint will just peel off with the comb. Not sure about oil-based paints. == If it's Latex, apply your regular conditioner before you shampoo & let it sit a bit, work it in with your fingers and then wash as usual... Should work fine, if it is stubborn use a hot oil treatment. For OIL based paint, use a hot oil treatment for your hair... If that is unavailable use warmed olive oil, or in a pinch peanut-butter. work it in well and let it soak in, then wash your hair as usual.
Next time comb conditioner through your hair before you start and wear a hat.

What native tribes use birch bark canoe?
Not all Algonquian tribes lived near watercourses so not all built any kind of canoe. Many Algonquian-speaking tribes such as the Powhatan built only dugout canoes from tree trunks, using controlled fires and stone or shell scrapers.
A few of the eastern woodlands tribes, mainly in the north-east region, built beautiful canoes using wooden frames covered with birch bark sealed with resin and gum. They included the Ojibwe, Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Naskapi, eastern Cree, Algonkin and central Cree. Each tribe made their canoes in a distinctive tribal shape.
As for why they made these canoes, the answer is simply that they made best use of available resources and the resulting canoes were the very best type of craft for transport by water. Iroquois canoes, both dugouts and those covered with elm bark, are considered very inferior in quality to birch bark canoes.

What is the difference between Op and Pop Art?
Op Art, short for Optical Art, focuses on creating visual illusions and effects through precise patterns and color contrasts that can trick the eye, often resulting in a sense of movement or depth. In contrast, Pop Art draws inspiration from popular culture, incorporating imagery from advertising, comic books, and mass media to challenge traditional boundaries of fine art. While Op Art emphasizes perception and visual experience, Pop Art celebrates and critiques consumerism and the everyday. Essentially, Op Art engages the viewer's senses, whereas Pop Art engages cultural commentary.
