Color therapy: those welfare-ends effect of the light

Color therapy: those welfare-ends effect of the light

The sock small band is, because for the loyalty stands, hearts is blue red, because that signals love, white is the wedding dress, because it is to testify innocence: Color symbolisms are everywhere in the everyday life. Some colors calm down, some suggest. The one as pleasantly are felt, the others make nervous. With exactly these different effects Monika Anna sour argues. It is diplomierte Farbtherapeutin and uses the effect of the colors for the healing of psychological and family problems.

Ground corn/Berlin - one finds lamps in practice sour from Monika to place of the famous couch. “Colors play a basic role” with me in the psychotherapeutischen consultation, say the Therapeutin from Bavarian ground corn. For more than twelve years the 55-Jährige is active in the profession of the color therapy.

The German welfare practical man Peter Mandel developed alternativemedical diagnostic and therapy methods, which he summarizes under the term “Esogeti medicine” in the 1970's. From them also the Farbpunktur, “acupuncture” follows exclusively with colored light. It connects the traditional Chinese medicine and delivered color indications with the newest realizations of the bio photon research. To the Esogetik orients itself also Monika Anna sour.

“I can not heal illnesses”, say the Therapeutin. Physicians and welfare practical men would have to make that. To it clients come themselves, “in any form not probably feel” or “those personally to grow want”, supplement the Therapeutin. If problems with children, then them can help grandparents, which partners emerge or with itself. “The work methods are solution and resource-orientedly. I help to strengthen humans their confidence and self-confidence as well as dissolve family involving and uncover blocking thought pattern.”

“If the client the first time to me comes, test I, reacted to which colors he explains Monika Anna sour in which way”. That happens with the help of the Psychokinesiologie and different colour foils, by which the clients through-look. If a client determines color weakly on one reacted, Monika can set sour exactly there and arrange their questions purposefully.

Each color does not have a certain meaning spectrum, to too much limit or accurately specify can one however. “Each humans have his own life story”. Humans can react to a certain color weakly, even if he otherwise fulfill the “suitable” character characteristics. Emotions can arise with some colors, because one connects them personally with a special event or a certain thing. “A Verallgemeinerung would be plakativ and not deep”, explains sour.

During the therapeutic discussion face and torsos of the client are illuminated continuous with colored light. Normally with a color, in addition, two different colors could be, explain Monika sour. “Those may waive themselves in their effect however not mutually”, say them. With pairs of complementary colors, as for example blue and orange, would be this the case.

Monika Anna sour offers the Farbakupunktur in its practice in the Bavarian forest also. This orients itself at the traditional Chinese welfare art and is completely pain-free and relaxing a color therapy with focused light. The organism is to become lively by the color therapy to adjust itself. Each color is assigned a frequency. The somatic cells on the inside are arranged thereby to the Mitschwingen. Each individual cell “learns discords to adjust” by the impulses.

The duration of the therapy is different from client to client. That arrives on the respective job order. The client determines the goals of the therapy with the help of purposeful questions. “That is dependent on it, as largely the problem or as heavy the suffering printing of the client is”, says Monika Anna sour.

German young people: No to smoking, for drinking

German young people: No to smoking, for drinking

The number of juvenile smokers is not as low as for nearly 30 years any more. Also the number of the Cannabis consumers under 18 years decreases/goes back. Still however the trend remains for excessive drinking. Annually 20,000 young people in hospitals must be treated because of alcohol abuse.

Berlin - “drinking up to falling down” is not at young people by any means only pure Prahlerei. In the past four weeks in Germany in “coma” drunk, 300,000 even once weekly five glasses alcohol and more consumed themselves a million young person approximately, as comes out projected from the newest collection for the “drug affinity of young people in the Federal Republic” of the federal center for health clearing-up (BZgA).

“This trend to the so-called Binge Drinking is further unbroken”, complained the federaldrug-assigned Sabine Bätzing (SPD) on Friday in Berlin in view of the numbers about the drug abuse of young people. Although the largest part of the boys and girls after the protection of children and young people law actually still might drink no alcohol, consumed according to own data about 20 per cent in the past month at least at an opportunity five or more glasses alcohol. 2004 were the portion of the young excessive drunkards about 23 per cent.

Despite decrease no 'all-clear' signal

Despite the easy decrease it cannot give an 'all-clear' signal, since nearly 20,000 young people in hospitals had to be treated according to alcohol abuse, said the BZgA directress to Elizabeth Pott. Not only the intoxication drinking to certain causes, but also the regularly consumed alcohol quantity represents a “special danger for young people”, described it.

“2.5 per cent of the boys and 1.5 per cent of the girls take so much alcohol to itself that they exceed, said the borders valid for adults to `the dangerous Alkoholkonsum' - 60 gram pure alcohol with men and 40 gram for women -” Pott. According to their data an eighth wine or a quarter of litre beer contains in each case ten gram alcohol. Actually men should not daily no more than
24 gram and women any more than 12 gram pure alcohol to itself do not take. And the values for young people would have to still be under it. “For it so far, said Pott nevertheless gives no limit values”.

But there are also “good messages”, how Bätzing stressed. The number of the young people, who smoke regular, drink or consume cannabis, decreased/went back in the past years. Therefore sank
the 3000 12 asked - to 25-year old the portion of the smokers under the persons under age on the lowest conditions since 1979. However since 2001 the portion of the smoking 12 took - to 17-Jährigen of 28
Per cent on 15 per cent in this year off. The number of the “Nieraucher” rose at the same time in the past five years of 40 to 60 per cent.

Efforts of prevention show effect

After many years of the rise according to the report also the Cannabiskonsum is declining. Gifts 2004 approximately 31 per cent of the 12 - to 25-year old on already once in the life the drug to have consumed there was 2008 still 28 per cent. With the 12 - to 17-Jährigen the portion of 15 per cent on scarcely 10 per cent decreased in the same period.

With the growing up according to Bätzing alcohol is the furthest common craze means. With the 12 - to 17-Jährigen therefore 2008 more than 17 per cent regularly alcoholic beverages, 2004 drank were it about 21 per cent. The young people stand particularly on beer, as Pott supplemented. Afterwards mixed drinks would come, beer and weinhaltige beverages. Wine and hard Sprituosen however are common with the young people according to own data less.

“The numbers show that our efforts of prevention arrive, summarized” the drug-assigned. In order to add directly: “It is not called however that we can put the hands now into the lap. We must concentrate now more strongly on groups, the risky consumer samples exhibit.

Contergan victims are to receive higher compensations

Contergan victims are to receive higher compensations

The contergan victims are to receive in the future a higher compensation. SPD and CDU want to bring in an appropriate bill in the parliament. The increase of the compensation is justified by the long-term sequences, with which the victims also decades have to still fight after arising the scandal.

Berlin - the Federal association Contergeschädigter has of that
Parliamentary groups of a coalition announced new special payments for
Contergan victim welcomes. “That is a further step on the way,
to fulfill”, the deputy said our demands
Chairman of the federation Maria Woll on Thursday on strip packing-inquires. The federation was not informed yet officially about the details of the law change. Nevertheless rate it the new purchases of 3000 euros, announced by SPD and CDU/CSU, annually for contergan deformed ones as good indication, said Woll.

Starting from 2009 concerning are to be able to get additionally to existing purchases approximately 3000 euros annually, as the deputy party head inside Christel Humme (SPD) and Ilse Falk (CDU) announced on Thursday. They want to bring an appropriate draft in the next weeks for the change of the contergan foundation law into the parliament.

Federation and Grünenthal divide the costs

With the existing compensations and the new, additional special payments Schwerstgeschädigte are to be able to receive approximately 16,000 euros per year starting from 2009. The money is to serve for the repayment of the costs, which do not take over social security. The additional costs of the special payments are applied the data according to from the fortune of the contergan foundation, in which Grünenthal with in each case 50 million euros take part the federation and the company.

Already to 1 July 2008 the federation had increased the monthly compensations for contergan victims from up to then 545 euros to 1090 euros. The heightening of the achievements is necessarily become, because 50 years point themselves to the medicine scandal the long-term sequences of the deformations, explained Humme and Falk. False loads for many years of spinal column, joints and musculature would draw painful damages for the concerning. Contergan victims would have themselves despite their handicaps “in
” fought for, the politicians said their place in the occupation and private life with large commitment and self-confidence to admirable way. They would meet the life achievement of contergan deformed humans “with high acknowledgment and largest respect”, explained Humme and Falk.

Hunger strike for payments of compensation

In September three contergan deformed ones had stepped into Bergisch Gladbach for several weeks into the hunger strike. They wanted to implement higher payments of compensation of maximally 3290 euros and a single payment of one million euro per victim.

The company Grünenthal, whom for deformations the responsible person had brought to medicine contergan 1957 on the market, reacted to the strike with a letter, in which it requested the hunger strike ends for the completion of its action. “Grünenthal regrets much that suffering resulted, was called to the concerning and its families from contergan” it in the letter of the enterprise.

Grünenthal pointed out that the pensions of the contergan-concerned were doubled to 1 July by the Federal Government. The company besides voluntarily ready-clarified itself to carry again an amount out of 50 million euro “for the improvement of the personal situation of the concerning”. A speaker of the group called the letter of Grünenthal at that time “insignificant”.

Lung damage with earlyborn can be avoided

Lung damage with earlyborn can be avoided

The lung from earlyborn is usually unreif and threatens when breathing out to collapse. Because you are missing a protective film for the alveoli, also to Surfactant mentioned. But the presently usual gift of Surfactant under machine artificial respiration can damage the lung. Therefore the Neonatologen at the university clinic Bonn does without an artificial respiration and a new method developed to give Surfactant.

Bonn - came Nile three months too early into the world - with a birth weight of somewhat over 500 gram a maximum risk child. Because its unreife lung produced still no Surfactant. This mixture from proteins and fats lowers the surface tension of the alveoli. Without Surfactant the alveoli - like a tent without bars - collapse when breathing out in itself. The children develop a lethal difficulty in breathing syndrome. Therefore they were intubiert so far directly after the birth with a hose by the nose through into the bronchial tube and several days were artificially respirated by machine.

The end of the 80's imported additional gift of Surfactant over the artificially respirating hose into the lung, won from animal lungs, improved the chances of survival of small earlyborn enormously. “The machine artificial respiration endangers the lung nevertheless, since it can overstretch the sensitive fabric. Possible consequence is a Bronchopulmonale Dysplasie”, says Markus Treichel, upper physician in the department of Neonatologie at the university clinic Bonn. The babies concerned suffer from difficulty in breathing, increased heart frequency and high calorie consumption by the increased breath work - heavy breath way infections, right heart load as well as growth and development disturbances threaten.

Small earlyborn can breathe

Therefore the Bonn Neonatologen of Nile offered parents to give Surfactant shortly after the birth under spontaneous respiration thus without connection of a respirator. “All necessary one should be done for our child”, says Ulrike L. on 11 November 2007 was it so far, and Nile came loud crying into the world. “He wanted to breathe and needed only our support. In former times was underestimated, what the earlyborn can do, say already everything - a paradigm shift in the medicine” its firstsupplying child physician Axel Heep, leading upper physician to the Bonn university Neonatologie. In the first minutes after the birth the Bonn Neonatologen led carefully a probe - as thin as a Kugelschreibermine - across the nose into the upper respiratory system. There they gave Surfactant to about 30 drops to the lung, which distributed itself there.

The procedure took only some minutes, however much experience requires. “The probe is smaller than the larynx, and the children can breathe further. With an intubation against it the hose moves the respiratory system”, explains Treichel. Usually a gift is enough, because rapidly after the birth the babies begin to produce even Surfactant. Subsequently, over a mask breathing air under easy positive pressure is transported into the respiratory system. This easy positive pressure keeps the lungs open. “The children breathe independently and adjust their respiration. We do not have to artificially respirate it by machine normally any longer, except them are exhausted or gotten sick at a pneumonia”, said Treichel.

Portion of the by machine artificially respirated children reduces

The team around Peter Bartmann, director of the Neonatologie at the university clinic Bonn, knew the portion of the by machine artificially respirated children, before the 33. Pregnancy week into the world came, from 65 per cent to 52 per cent lower. Besides the artificially respirating days of on the average eleven to five reduced days. “We could a gentler care of the Frühchen achieve and thus in addition the occurrence of a Bronchopulmonalen Dysplasie from 20 per cent to 9 per cent lower”, are pleased Treichel.

Also Nile no machine artificial respiration needed and is now also over five kilograms a normal healthy child. Since at the beginning of February is it with its parents at home and develops marvelously.

Patient order: Third bill presented

Patient order: Third bill presented

The patient order provides further for controversies and discussions. The physicians would like an order, which considers the will patients. The policy looks for compromises. At least a partial compromise seems possible, after the third draft for a legal regulation was submitted now

Berlin - in the controversy over the patient orders a compromise settlement possibly appears in parts. On Wednesday a third group of delegate around Vice Chairperson of the CDU parliamentary group Wolfgang Zöller (CSU) submitted its bill. Zöller said in Berlin, he saw his conceptions as “middle course and compromise” between the two so far available concepts of the groups around Vice Chairperson of the CDU parliamentary group Wolfgang Bosbach (CDU) and to the SPD delegates Joachim Stünker. The crucial vote in the parliament is intended for the first quarter of the yearly 2009.

The Stünker camp signaled readiness to negotiate after the collecting main. In the detail the drafts differed, but it does not give “unbridgeable hurdles, which could be united not in the legislative procedure”, said the Mitinitiator of the Stünker draft, Michael Kauch (FDP). Both
Drafts reject a restriction of range, i.e., orders for therapy prohibitions should be possible for each illness. Also both want to switch the court of guardianship on only if physician and responsible persons cannot agree on the conversion of an order.

Zöller: Physician determines “actively” patient will

The crucial difference to the Stünker draft is according to Zöller that itself in his version the physician “actively” at the determination of the patient will involved and implementing of the patient order is not only. The CSU politician underlined that with its proposal, which under others also ex Federal Secretary of Justice Herta Däubler Gmelin (SPD) endorses, no “automatism” is set on, but rather “area for the view of the individual case” given. Even if a patient order is present, must be still determined current patient will.

The request continues to plan that patient orders are to be also without consultation or notarial authentication comprehensively valid - independently of the kind and the process of the illness. Also verbal
Orders are regarded as sufficient. Also in the Stünker draft an obligation is rejected for consultation.

Federal Medical Society and Marburger federation consider existing regulations sufficient

According to Bosbach draft must a patient, who submits ordered that he rejects life-supporting measures independently of kind and stage of the illness, a notarially recorded patient order, which a comprehensive medical consultation precedes. This order must be renewed every five years.

In a patient order humans specify first, who medical measures wish or reject it, if they cannot express themselves sometime any longer. One argues about how physicians and responsible persons are to behave, if an order requires the renouncement of life-supporting measures as for instance artificial respiration or a stomach probe. While the Hospizbewegung penetrates on a new legal regulation and on Wednesday the submitted draft as “placebo” designation, for example those holds
Federal Medical Society the existing regulations for sufficient.

Also the physician combination Marburger federation rejects a legal regulation as redundant. The valid jurisdiction and the vocational guidelines are already clear, said the federation chairman Rudolf Henke. It recommended patient, their order after consultation with its physician once a year too
update. Besides they should issue an authority for a man of confidence, who is to advise with the medical profession over the correct treatment, if they are in addition no more able.

Description

Saz (Turkish Long Neck Lute)

The Saz is the grandfather of the Greek Bouzouki. It's originated in Central Asia where Turks lived before their westward migration. Like the guitar in Spain and the bouzouki in Greece, the Saz is the most popular stringed instrument in Turkey. Although similar in shape to the Greek Bouzouki, the construction, size and sound of the Saz is different. You need a baglama saz to be able to play the microtones (Perde) of Arabic music. These instruments have traditional tied frets that are movable, and 3 courses of strings.

Baglama

Baglama is the most commonly used string folk instrument in Turkey. It takes different names according to the regions and according to its size such as Baglama, Divan Sazi, Bozuk, Çögür, Kopuz Irizva, Cura, Tambura, etc.

Cura is the smallest member of the baglama family with the highest pitched sound. The member one size bigger than cura which gives a sound that is one octave lower than cura is the tambura. And the one with the deepest sound is the Divan sazi whose sound is one octave lower compared to tambura.

Baglama has three main parts called Tekne, Gögüs and Sap. Tekne part is generally made from mulberry trees as well as from woods of juniper, beech, spruce or walnut. The gögüs part is made from spruce and the sap section from homespun or juniper.

There are pieces called burgu (screw) at the end of the sap which is opposite to tekne part to which the strings are tied. These screws are used for tuning. There are pitches on the sap tied with fish line. Baglama is played with a Mizrap or Tezene made from cherry wood bark or plastic and fingers are used in s

ome regions. The later technique is called Selpe. There are three string groups on Bagla

ma in groups of two or three. These string groups can be tuned in a variety of ways. For example in the tuning style called baglama Düzeni, the strings in the lower group give 'la', middle group strings and upper group strings give 'mi' notes. Besides this type of tuning there are Kara Düzen, Misket Düzeni Müstezat, Abdal Düzeni, Rast Düzeni etc. styles.

Sap section is from hard wood and fish line pitches are tied onto it.

There are two main groups of strings on tar. Those in the first group are used in playing the tune and consists of three groups of two strings. The other group of strings are called Kök and Zengi and are tuned according to the mode to be used and enhance the tone.

Its body or the tekne part is generally made from vegetable marrow but wooden ones are also common. The sap is from hard woods. There is a thin wooden or metal rod underneath the body which is placed on the knee and enables the instrument to move to the left and right.

Mother of Pearl (Sedef)

Sedef is

the Turkish name of mother of pearl and is widely used in traditional arts as inlay. Especially during the Ottoman period it became very popular and many inlay objects and furniture was made between 15th and 19th centuries. The mother of pearl is obtained from the interior of the pearl oyster shell which was usually imported from Asia, than local artists worked it on the wood making remarkable chairs, tables, boxes, chest of drawers, mirror frames, and so on. This type of art was widespread in all Anatolia and the Middle East. The quality of the mother of pearl is very important. All shelled mollusks possess a shell with a sort of mother of pearl, but the freshwater mollusks are one of the best because they provide large flat pearl blanks and are milk white to create a nice contrast on dark wood, thus these are the prefered ones. It's not easy to convert an arched shell to flat pieces for inlay blanks, but it's the craftmen's skill. Also the wood has to be good quality, usually walnut, mahogany or rose wood is selected. In the Sedef inlay technique, the craftsman (Sedefkar in Turkish) first draws his design on the wood cutting out the lines, than inserts the brass or silver wire in these lines with the help of a small hammer; this is called "tel cekme" or "telkari" technique. Than he slightly cuts out the areas between these wires in order to place the mother of pearl blanks that are cut according to the shape of the design. The craftsman glues them in their spot than waits for a couple of days to dry before sandpapering and waxing. Besides the mother of pearl, also tortoise shell, camel bones and ivory can be mixed to decorate the design of Sedef furniture. Usually floral designs are used. Today, there are few artists left in this business. Especially Gaziantep is one of the cities where one can still experience hand made art of the mother of pearl inlay tradition.

Nazar Boncuk beads

Nazar Boncugu i

n Turkish refers to a very traditional item in Turkey, it's a blue bead used as a talisman which is beleived that it would protect you against the evil-eye. The evil-eye superstition comes from very early times and it can be found in most of the cultures in the world. To prevent this unfortunate thing, Turks invented a blue bead which looks like an eye that looks straight back at the spell-caster. So this would guard you from any negative energy or from jealous looks of others for example. Nazar bead is a huge tradition in Turkey, anywhere you go or any people you talk to can show you a bead in his pocket, or at home, or in his car etc. And if this Nazar bead is broken for whatever reason, it's beleived that it worked and protected you from some evil-eye that probabily you are unaware of at that moment.

The Nazar bead is usual

ly made of blue glass, with white and yellow or white and blue again circles inside, that would be a typical Nazar Bonjuk. But there are other colors too, fashionable ones such as white color with blue circles inside. However, the blue is always the traditional color of this talisman. The Nazar bead has usually round shape, but it comes in all sizes and all kinds of shapes and decorations; sometimes as a keychain, or a photo frame, or a bracelet, with inscriptions, a refrigerator magnet, and so on. It became an art today, it's a part of the Turkish culture. Nazar Boncuk doesn't have any religious significance, or it doesn't bring good luck, not a luck charme neither, it's just a pure belief against a superstition in order to ward off the danger of the "evil eye".

Various Well-Known Anatolian Rugs

There are four types of rugs produced in Turkey; they are classified according to the materials used. The categories include:

• Silk on silk
Wool on cottonWool on woolViscose on cottonKilimsTulu

Anatolian Turkish Rugs

At present, it is impossible to prove exactly when and where rug weaving began, as there is no reliable source, but it can be traced back as early the Neolithic age (7000 B.C.). The first examples consisting of warp and weft were textile products which resembled flat weave kilims. Then rugs were created by forming knots to make a pile. According to scientist, rug weaving must have originated in the dry steppe regions where the nomadic tribes lived. Central Asia was a suitable location for the first rug-weaving center because of the availability of land for herding sheep and because of the climate of the region. Rugs have been used in the home as floor coverings, blankets, tablecloths and decorations. They acquire value as they are used, whereas most objects decrease in value over time. The oldest example known in the history of hand-make rugs is the one which is exhibited in the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum in the Russian Federation. This fantastic rug was discovered by the Russian archaeologist Rudenko in the year 1949 and is known as the" Pazarik Rug". The majority of experts believe that there is a link between ancient Turkish culture and this particular rug; they also believe that the other items found in the Pazarik Turnulus have some connection to Turkish civilization.

Rug weav

ing in Anatolia first began with the arrival of the Turkish tribes from Central Asia, who settled in this region. Therefore, Anatolian rugs form a branch of ethnic Turkish rugs. Some of the oldest examples known are the eighteen surviving pieces woven by the Selcuk Turks in the 13th century. The motifs in these pieces represented in stylized floral and geometrical patterns in several basic colors and were women in Sivas, Kayseri and the capital Konya. The art of rug weaving which began with the Selcuks continued with the Ottoman Turks. After the Selcuk Turks and before the Ottomans (during the transition period in the 14th century) animal figures began to appear on the rugs. Although very few of these exist today, they can be seen in the paintings of famous Italian, French, Dutch and Flemish painters. Due to the animal figures on these rugs, they are referred to as "Rugs with Animals". By the 15th century, there was a wider variety of animal motifs on the rugs. A new group of rugs with a combination of animal motifs and geometrical patterns appeared around this time. These rugs were called " Holbein Rugs " since they appear in paintings by the German artist Hans Holbein. As there are no surviving examples of these rugs today, all research is carried out from the paintings. The works of artists such as Lotto, Memling, Carlo Crivelli, Rafaellino de Gardo, B.Van Orley, Carpaccio, Jaume Huguet were also important sources of research. In this century, Bergama and Usak became important weaving centers in western Anatolia. The 16th century saw the beginning of the second successful period of Anatolian rug-weaving. The rugs from this period are called "Classical Ottoman Rugs". The reason these rug are called "Palace rug" is that the design and colors would have been determined by the palace artists and then sent to the weaving centers. this method was similar to that used in the ceramic tile production of that period. The designs, which consisted of twisting branches, leaves, and flowers such as tulip, carnations and hyacinths, are woven in a naturalistic style and establish the basic composition of the rug. This style was continued in other regions and can be seen in Turkish rugs today. In the 16th, 17th and 18th century, Gördes (Ghordes), Kula, Milas, Ladik, Mucur, Kirsehir, Bandirma and Canakkale (near Dardanelles Strait) gained importance as rug-weaving centers, along with Usak and Bergama. The rugs woven in some of these regions are known as "Transylvanian Rugs" because they were found in churches in Transylvania. In the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries, the rugs woven in Hereke (nearby Istanbul) gained worldwide recognition. These rugs were originally woven only for the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. The finest silk rugs in the world are still being woven in Hereke today. We can identify the rugs woven in different regions as town or village rugs. The rugs woven in the agricultural areas of Anatolia owe their origins to the settlers or nomadic cultures. In Europe, these rugs (which are woven with wool on wool) are generally called "Anatolian Rugs" In towns where people have settle permanently, the rugs are woven with a wool on cotton combination. Today in Turkey, there are regions which keep this wonderful tradition alive; such rugs are woven in Konya, Kayseri, Sivas, Hereke, Yagcioglu, Kula, Dösemealti, Taspinar, Isparta, Milas, Bergama, Canakkale, Enize, Kars, Usak, Ghordes, Fethiye and Yahyali.

The Craft of Weaving Rugs

A rug is a handicraft which consist of two parts: the skeleton of the rug, which is formed by vertical and horizontal threads called "warps" and "wefts" and the part which resembles a picture and is like velvet, which is called the "pile" of the rug, made by knotting different colors of thread. In order to form motifs, there are two knotting techniques:

1. Symmetrical knotting, double or Turkish knotting. Each knot is made on two warps. In this form of knotting, each end of the pile thread is wrapped all the way around the two warps, pulled down and cut.
2. Non-symmetrical or single (Persian) knotting. While one end of the thread is wrapped all the wary around the warp, the other end goes just beside the other warp. Then both ends are pulled down and cut.

The steps for weaving a carpet are written below:

1. The weaving is started from the bottom of the loom. Firs
t the kilim part (flat woven part) is woven at the lower edge.The weaver then takes a piece of wool which corresponds with the pattern
2. and forms a knot on two warps.
3. Then she cuts the surplus wool with a knife.
4. After one row of knotting is completed, she then passes a weft thread in between the front and back warps. The weft threads are used to strengthen the weaves of the carpet.
5. Then she will take the "kirkit" (a heavy comb like tool) and vigorously beat down the row of knots and weft, in order to obtain the desired tightness and to make the knots and weft compact.
6. Following this step, with a pair of adjustable scissors she cuts the surplus colored threads to obtain a uniform level of pile thickness.
7. This process is continued until the carpet is complete.

Dyes

There are two types of dyes which are used to dye wool for weaving: vegetable dyes and chemical dyes. Rugs which are made using natural dyes are the most preferred. The natural dyes are obtained from three sources: plants; animals; and minerals. Plant sources are used most widely in rug production. Some of the examples of colors obtained from plants and animal sources are: red (RUBIA TINTORIA); yellow (GENISTA TINTORIA); navy blue (ISOTIS TINCTORIA and INDIGO FERETINTORIA); gray and black (OVER LUS); brown (JUNGLAND REGIA); and red (DACHYLOPIUS COCUS). Dyeing threads by using sources from nature is an art which has been practiced since ancient times. Anatolia has a large variety of plant available for dyeing purposes and this where the craft of dyeing has been improved through centuries of experience. Plants gathered from natural sources are still widely used today.

Motifs

There are many different types of motifs and emblems which can be seen on the rugs. These are classified into two groups:

1. Geometrical or Stylized Motifs
2. Naturalistic and Floral Designs

The motif on the rugs represent Anatolia and Central Asia and their civilizations. These compositions, motifs, and designs are not created at random by an ignorant peasant. The motifs on the rugs represent the origins and culture of a society; therefore, a rug can be considered a cultural item. Each of the designs is meaningful, not an accidental drawing. To understand the meaning of every motif would be a very long and tiring process, as there are so many of them which have accumulated throughout the centuries. The motifs on the rugs represent Anatolian, Central Asian and their civilizations. Some of the most common motifs on rugs are the TREE OF LIFE, symbolizing long life and re-birth; the HORNS OF ANIMALS, which symbolize power, HANDS ON HIPS, symbolizing female fertility and the mother of God; and the HANGING CANDLE, symbolizing the holy (eternal) light.

Kilims

These weaves were constructed with two s

ets of threads by crossing them at 90-degree angles. In these weaves the perpendicular threads are called the warp and the horizontal threads the weft. This technique was first used for making cloth, but at the same time it set the foundation for weaving kilims. All of these productions are referred to as "flat weaves" Wooden or metal combs were used to push the weft down, so these weaves are called "combed weaves". The etymological root the word "kilim" is not known exactly but it has be seen in the Turkish language since the 13th century. The word "kilim" is misused in other languages to refer to all flat weaves other than rugs. However, the word "kilim" is only a name for a weaving technique. Among kilims there are different makes, including "cicim", "zili" and "sumak". For centuries, these different designs were traditionally passed down from mother to daughter. Turkey is the only country in the world that has preserved all the different techniques. These weaves are made by tribe members or by villagers for daily needs. They are named after tribes, families, villages and towns that they are made in, or even after the motifs used on them. The Yoruks and Turkomans have also placed their tribal signatures among the patterns, making these weaves cultural objects as well. According to the latest research, these motifs reflect all the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia, and for that reason each motif is a symbol or interoperation of the values that were created by people from different cultures. The common aspect of kilims is the technical manner in which they are produced, which influences the shapes of the patterns. For this reason, the motifs were strongly stylized and were changed into geometrical forms. Kilims are made in different colors, designs, and compositions and it is possible to find them in various sizes. In different parts of Turkey, kilims are woven with several different combinations of materials, such as all wool, wool and cotton, or all silk. This group of weaves is often used in contemporary decorations in various locations, making them at the same time valuable objects in the field of art. For this reason, it is also proper to talk about the art of kilims in Anatolia as an art which is distinct from the art of rug-making.
