What is Silk today?

Have you ever thought which natural element has been more valuable than gold through history? Have you ever considered that the accidental discovery of a fine single continuous thread of fiber, around 1 kilometer long and 10 nanometers in

diameter, was kept a secret for more than 30 centuries by the Chinese, in order to reserve monopoly on the world’s production?The legend describes the empress Hsi Ling Shi, wife of Emperor Huang Ti, The legend describes the empress Hsi Ling Shi, wife of Emperor Huang Ti, sipping tea under a mulberry tree, when a cocoon fell into her cup and began to unravel. The empress became so enamored with the shimmering threads that she discovered their source, the Bombyx mori s i lkworm found in the white mulberry.In order to create a In order to create a cocoon, the silkworm attaches itself to a compartmented frame, twig, tree or shrub in a rearing house over a 3 to 8 day

period.During that time the silkworm rotates its body in a figure - 8 movement

over 300,000 times, constructing a cocoon and producing about a kilometer of silk filament. Silk rapidly beca- - me a popular luxury fabric in the many areas accessible to Chinese merchants.

Besides its luxurious softness and lustrous beauty, silk is the strongest natural fiber and easily competes with steel yarn in tensile strength. It can also absorb up to 30% of its weight in

moisture without feeling damp and because of its natural protein structure, silk is the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics, letting the skin breathe.Nowadays silk is being used in different ways; from formal wear to Nowadays silk is being used in different ways; from formal wear to sleepwear, from parachutes to rugs, from medical sutures to prosthetic

arteries. In Metaxication Inc., we question the issue of “value” in today’s market, through observation, analysis and critical thinking. What is the new “Silk” today? Is it the actual fiber, or is it the reverse engineering that makes the market grow?

Tradition says that the fourteen-year-old Chinese Empress Hsi-Ling-Shih,

concubine of Emperor Huang Ti, observed the remarkable fast growth of silkworms in the wild and brought a cocoon back to the palace. One day, when the empress was sipping tea under a mulberry tree, a cocoon fell into her cup and began to unravel. When she removed it, the cocoon began unravelling and the idea for silk fabric blossomed.

Whether or not the legend is accurate, it is certain that the Whether or not the legend is accurate, it is certain that the earliest surviving references to silk history and production place it in China; and that for nearly 3 millennia, the Chinese had a global monopoly on silk production.

Tusah silkTusah silk is produced by silkworms that feed on oak leaves. Silk dupioni is produced from 2 silkworms that spin a cocoon together, thus making a strong double-thread silk. The finest quality silk is made by mulberry silk moth, Bombyx mori, which, of course, feeds on mulberry leaves. The average cocoon contains 300-400 meters of silk. It takes about 5500 The average cocoon contains 300-400 meters of silk. It takes about 5500 silkworms to produce 1 kg (2.2lb) of raw silk! One ounce of eggs produces about 20,000 worms, which consume a ton of mulberry leaves during their lifetime.Today silk production accounts for less that 0.2% of total global textile Today silk production accounts for less that 0.2% of total global textile

output, a mere 3 ounces of silk for every 100 pounds of cloth. Though production is spread out over 60 countries, 90% comes from Asia and about 70% from China, where the industry employs one million people. Second-place producer India employs 700,000 households. The largest silk importing and consuming nation is India, where the majority of silk is woven into saris. By some accounts 50,000 cocoons are required to make one silk sari. 50,000 cocoons are required to make one silk sari. And to feed those silkworms requires a ton and a half of fresh mulberry leaves.

As a four-year old visiting with my parents China, still

under Mao Tse Tung’s rule, I was struck by the vivid colour and soft touch of this red silk velvet fabric. My parents bought it for me. The plan was to make a dress out of the fabric, but this never happened. We left the fabric untouched keeping it safe in a box for decades now. Once in a while, I take it out from the box and touch Once in a while, I take it out from the box and touch it. Its texture is still soft.

Production nowadays takes place through a variety of labour-process models, made possible by the development of new

technologies of communication and transportation, which are particularly characterised by forms of networking. Although the digital revolution made the reproduction of immaterial objects faster, easier and

ubiquitous, transactions’ routes are still traceable in space, as contemporary silkroads: networks of ‘trade’ connecting merchants and

dwellers. dwellers. Silk roads have served throughout the centuries , not only as an economical trading routes, but as a means of cultural interaction.

In the global containerized intermodal freight transport system,

our department’s basic tool consists of devices creating enclosed space that can be used to contain, store, and transfer. Intermodal indicates that the container can be used across various modes of transport without unloading and reloading its contents. Although this system serves to increase transactional efficiency, one must not undermine the importance

of the container itself ; as in the myth of the Byzantine monks delivering silkworms through their canes from China, causing a shift in the hold of the silkworms through their canes from China, causing a shift in the hold of the monopoly .

deliveries arrive on time and to their correct location, will be part of your duties if you decide to break out of your cocoon and apply for our department. A shipping coordinator job is varied and relies heavily upon good organisational and administrative skills, so be prepared to get

involved in data analysis and the conduction of cartographic reports. You will also be responsible for ensuring resolution to enrouting problems whenever they occur.whenever they occur.

The test of a great company is whether it has the ability to constantly manage for both the level of

returns, and the duration over which those returns will be realized. It is a challenge that we in Metaxi-cation Inc. embrace. So far, we have been
