“…The color doesn't fade even after laundering and is environmentally friendly because it isn't dyed, which also saves the capital investment for fabric dyeing. Naturally colored cotton is more expensive ($1.8 to 5.0 per pound) than cultivated white cotton ($0.75 to 1.75 per pound) [30]. Colored cotton is grown in the United States, China, Russia and Brazil.…”

Cotton is considered as a major cash crop of the world. It earns huge foreign exchange by its valuable products; fiber, lint, cotton seed oil, hull and a lot more. Being an important fiber crop, it earns huge foreign exchange by contributing to textile and seed oil industry. This review summarizes cotton biology, its diversity and domestication, genome assembly, constraints in its production and methods to improve cotton plant to fulfill the need of textile and oil industry. But cotton is facing enormous biotic and abiotic stresses with insect pests being most prominent. Massive destruction caused by insects needs to be controlled for maintaining fruitful cotton crop production. Conventional breeding approaches are limited to improving single trait and integrate stable genes within plant genome in approximately 7-8 years. Improved biotechnological procedures have paved new pathways to target genes specifically and improve cotton germplasm in lesser time than conventional breeding.

“…Barltrop had made some extensive study of Christian Science (which had been necessary, she said, so that she could refute it) and used astrology when she selected and appointed her apostles. 60 Theosophy seems to have been a particular source of recruits. At one time, Bartrop wrote to Annie Besant (the head of the Theosophical Society at the time) to offer the Panacea Society's healing for distribution via the Theosophical Society.…”

Religious and Spiritual Mobility in Britain: The Panacea Society and Other Movements in the Twentieth Century

Historiographical accounts of religious change in Britain increasingly reflect the sociological notion that decline in one area of religious activity does not necessarily imply the decline of religious or spiritual activity in society overall. This kind of understanding calls for a historical account of the complexity of spirituality and religious affiliation. Based on a study of the archives of a religious group called the Panacea Society, which promoted a spiritual healing method from 1924 to 2012, the article describes the main styles of engagement with a non-traditional religious form in Britain. The article analyses the Church of England's understanding of the migration of adherents between Christian Science, Theosophy, Spiritualism and itself in the interwar period. Showing the religious and spiritual mobility of individuals, the article indicates the capacity for non-traditional religion to engage people who were not especially religious and to take on the fullest religious significance for some participants.

Emerging in the early 1970s, the work of Outlaw country artists might be heard as exploring a crisis of masculinity resulting from developments in the women's liberation movement. Building on recent research in recorded sound studies, this essay explores how the vocal staging practices deployed in Outlaw country recordings offer a unique musical exploration of the duality of the outlaw's masculinity. Using case studies drawn from Waylon Jennings' Outlaw-era recordings, this article examines how Jennings, working with co-producers 'Cowboy' Jack Clement, Chips Moman and Willie Nelson, among others, deployed vocal staging practices in conjunction with other musical practices to construct narratives that reveal the 'outlaw' character's psychological turmoil and reflect the complicated state of working-class American masculinity in the age of women's liberation.having worked for RCA Victor since the mid-1960s, negotiated new contracts that challenged Nashville's producer-centred model and granted artists the right to select the songs they would cut, record with their road bands rather than studio musicians, and serve as the final arbiter of decisions about mixes, publicity and tours (Tucker
