Re-winding is the last step of the yarn dyeing process. The process is started with a soft winding section, it comes to end with a rewinding section. After rewinding, dyed yarns become ready for packing and delivery to the destination.
In yarn dyeing floor re-winding section is also called the random section. In this section dried and dyed yarns are transferred from spring or plastic tube to cone form.
Objectives of re-winding:
The objectives of re-winding are given below:
- Firstly, to transfer the dyed yarn from tube or spring to cone package.
- Secondly, it uses to clean the yarn.
- Thirdly, to make the yarn in continuous form.
- Lastly, to prepare the cone package for the delivery.
In the rewinding section, various types of machines are used. One of the most used re-winding machines is GAO14; GROOVED DRUM WINDER which is manufactured by SUZHOU XINSAFANG MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL. The origin country of this machine in China. It contains 100 Spindle.
Points Need to Consider During Re-winding:
During the re-winding process various points are considered which are given below:
Trash is one of the big problems in the random section. Different shaded yarns are re-wind in random section, so color trash flies in the section and enters into a package of another color or the same color, which destroy the quality of the package. Especially it is harmful to the white or off-white color, where other color trash can be identified easily.
Waxes use in the random section. The yarn passes through the wax. Wax gives softness and lubricity to the yarn, which facilities better knitting performance.
Tension is given to double yarn, not in a single yarn. Because tension makes a single yarn package hard.
The wet package should not be re-wind because the wet package becomes hard after re-winding. It also makes beets in the cone package.
Cone should be available.
The blower should work properly because cleaning performance depends on the blower’s performance.
Operators should aware of the cleanliness.
So, that’s all about the rewinding section. One should be aware of the re-winding process and produce a fault-free product for the buyer.

Technology and Concept
The Laser Beam Detector is designed to form A Cross matrix of laser beams which will travel in the pallet to pallet gap. A Laser transmitter will transmit the Laser light which will travel up to the receiver which will detect smoke crossing the laser beam. The algorithm will identify the smoke based on the duration and pattern of crossing_ The smoke crossing will disturb the laser beam intersection which will identify the location of fire_ Alarm of possible smoke will be generated In case of single beam cross and In case of dual cross. smoke alarm will be Initiated.
Spark detectors detect small sparks that travel in the conveying ducts of raw material/waste material and can be trapped, diverted or suppressed with water spray as per the requirement.
- Laser Beam Technology is designed to cover all the individual pallet
- No detector is Ponied between the pallet which makes the maintenance easy
- Since only the laser beam travels between the pallet, no damage is expected in case of fire and hence immediate recovery of Fire protection system JS possible
- Maintenance can be done even when the warehouse is fully functional
- Option for addressable ejectors to quench fire is possible if required

Mobile communications markets in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Ethiopia face challenges due to lack of competition, poor economic conditions and limited infrastructure availability, says a new report from Frost & Sullivan.Additionally, mobile operators in these markets are largely focusing on subscriber acquisition and network expansion for voice services. This causes delay in the rollout of advanced networks such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) compared to other developed market, the report said.The two markets earned revenues of $1.78 billion in 2013 which is expected to reach $3.27 billion by 2018, says a new report from Frost & Sullivan.
While population densities of both countries are among the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa, their active mobile penetration rates in 2013 were 36.4 percent and 24.1 percent respectively, well below Sub-Saharan Africa’s average of 61 percent, the research said.
The markets will see substantial growth in the next three to five years, mainly driven by the growing infrastructure investment in the region.
Data services and mobile money solutions are the key drivers of the market. Data revenue will be driven by the proliferation of low-cost mobile devices and the growing popularity of social media platforms. Mobile money will gain prominence as the number of Ethiopia and DRC’s unbanked populations have prompted their respective governments to place financial inclusion at the forefront of their socio-economic plans.
“While voice is still by far the dominant contributor to service revenue, data services and mobile money solutions are expected to fuel growth in the long term,” said Frost & Sullivan Information & Communication Technologies Research Analyst Lehlohonolo Mokenela.
Frost & Sullivan also finds that the growth of Ethiopia’s mobile communications market has been mostly been limited by a lack of competition; state-owned Ethio Telecoms is still the only provider in the market owing to tight regulatory protection.
Upon the completion of the country’s Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), it is expected that the regulator will gradually open the market to competitors, Mokenela added.
In order to grow customer base in rural areas, mobile operators need to consider cost-effective network expansion strategies in the DRC, added Mokenela. “Leveraging infrastructure-sharing models and using hybrid base stations can help operators lower their operational site costs and mitigate the country’s intermittent electricity supply.”

Enjoy reading this guide on ETF trading for beginners.
What are ETFs
Before trading on an instrument it is good to know it more in depth. So let's start this course by explaining what ETFs are. ETF stands for Exchange Traded Fund and they are special funds with some interesting features:
- They have the aim of replicating the performance of a reference index (technically called benchmark)
- Their shares are traded on the stock exchange like shares
- They present low risk due to diversification
- They can be structured, or managed with specific administration policies
- They can pay dividends
The ETF units represent units of the fund, which comprises various stocks. The fund's objective is to replicate the performance of a reference index as best as possible, which can be an index relating to the stock exchange, the commodity exchange, etc.
The ETF fund that tracks a reference index aims to replicate that reference index. Take as an example the famous ISHARES EO STOXX 50 ETFs, whose goal is to replicate the performance of the EUROSTOXX 50 index as much as possible.
To do this, the fund managers will compose it of stocks that overall are able to replicate the performance of the benchmark at best, with a maximum deviation of 2% (on a daily basis). Some ETFs are characterized by reverse replication (replicate the title but in the opposite direction), as well as leveraged replication, as we will see in the course of this ETF guide for beginners.
The management of the ETF, therefore, has the primary objective of replicating the reference index, called the benchmark, as closely as possible. The operations whereby the managers try to bring the ETF's price as close as possible to that of the replicated index is called rebalancing.
Where there are compositions of ETFs that include dividend- paying stocks, the benefits of these will then be projected onto the owners of the ETF shares. In this regard, distribution ETFs (which pay dividends) and accumulation ETFs (which reinvest them in the fund) must be distinguished.
Types of ETFs
ETFs can be of various types, including structured and leveraged.
The structured ETFs are characterized by a more complex management, through:
- more elaborate portfolio protection tools
- implementation of more elaborate investment strategies including buy-write or covered calls
- the possibility of reverse replication of the benchmark index
The Leveraged ETFs are ETFs that apply leverage to the benchmark. Their goal is not to replicate the performance of the benchmark but a multiple of it.
ETF Trading Guide for Beginners to Expert Traders
An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a financial security that tracks an index, commodity or basket of assets like an index fund. ETF trading is available for investors to trade both on the stock market as well as over-the-counter markets. To get a full glance at how forex and stocks trading works, traders can read our free trading guides.
An ETF tracking an index often holds all of the stocks in that index. For example, SPY ETF mimics the S&P 500 Index(SPX). The price of ETFs can be influenced by supply and demand just like share prices. ETFs have actually gained much popularity because they are traded throughout normal business hours when their underlying indices are also being traded. Stocks represent shares in individual companies whereas ETFs provide exposure to entire indices at once. They are easy to buy and sell ETFs have become a useful tool for many traders.
In ETF trading, an ETF is sold by its issuer at net asset value (NAV) on the stock market. Traders can also have a look on our stock trading guide for beginners and guide on forex trading to become a pro trader. ETF investors, both institutional and individual, can look up an ETF on their respective ETF providers' websites. ETFs provide high liquidity because they are listed and traded on major exchanges like stocks on the NYSE or NASDAQ.
Additionally, ETFs often offer lower fees as compared to purchasing all of the components in an index individually as some ETFs will charge between 0-2% as annual management fees whereas mutual funds can cost upwards of 5%. This marginal difference may not seem large but over time it will accumulate into substantial savings.
ETFs, like mutual funds, can also be bought and sold throughout the day when the stock market is open. ETFs allow investors to concentrate on their investment strategy instead of worrying about selecting individual investments.
ETF trading has become increasingly popular with many traders because ETFs trade just like stocks and futures contracts in that they see price movement in both directions or up and down and ETF profits can be generated by shorting an ETF just as one would short a stock or future contract.
In order for ETFs to track the performance of their respective indices, ETFs must hold all of the securities from these indices. They do not engage in any hedging strategies besides holding the components of the index they follow. In addition to this, ETFs are also passively managed ETF trading strategies which means that an ETF portfolio is rebalanced by the ETF issuer at set intervals. Also, ETFs must distribute dividends to shareholders just like mutual funds ETF profits are taxed according to their respective tax bracket.
An ETF will typically have higher turnover rates than a mutual fund because over time if the stocks in an index change so too do the composition of an ETF tracking it.
The main reason for this is that ETFs track index and individual companies while mutual funds invest in other mutual funds. Mutual fund managers are constantly moving money around between different investment classes. ETFs don't engage in any hedging or sector rotation strategy tactics. Thus, the only difference between them is ETFs are listed and traded on ETF providers while mutual funds transact in in-kind. ETFs typically have higher turnover rates.

ETFs offer lower fees than mutual funds and are a useful tool for many traders because they provide high liquidity and can be bought and sold throughout the day when the stock market is open.
Are ETFs Regulated?
This ETF trading for beginners answers the question. The vast majority of exchange-traded funds are registered with the US Security Exchange Commision (SEC) and, like mutual funds, must comply with the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and exempt orders issued under that law. Several regulations apply to commodity-based ETFs, which hold around 3% of the ETF's assets.
The ETFs based on commodities investing in futures on commodities are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , while those which invest exclusively in physical commodities are regulated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. For those who have an interest in investing and trading in cryptocurrencies as it is not regulated, check out our crypto trading guide.
ETF Pros and Cons
What are the benefits of trading ETFs? This guide on ETF trading for beginners provides you with a short bulleted list of both the advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages of trading ETFs:
Low fees: Investing in a single ETF is less expensive than building a diversified portfolio yourself;
Diversification: Since ETFs are composed of a basket of different Securities, they allow you to trade in a diversified and economical way;
Flexibility: ETFs have lower charges, they can be traded in both Long and Short, and very importantly they do not have a maturity;
Tax advantages: Passive management of ETFs offers the possibility of paying lower charges than active management;
Investment protection: ETFs are generally safer than investment funds, as the assets of the ETFs are autonomous and completely separate from that of the issuer (there are no risk assets for the assets of the ETF in the event of bankruptcy of an issuer).
The disadvantages of trading ETFs:
- Deviation of the price of the ETF from that of the underlying;
- Diversification is very beneficial, but to reap the benefits you only need to choose promising stocks.
As you have noticed from this guide for ETF trading for beginners, the advantages are greater than the disadvantages of trading ETFs. Well now that we have clarified in a simple and concise way what ETFs are, let's see together which are the best brokers to trade on them.
How ETFs are Traded
ETFs are traded on the stock exchange just like shares and this also happens on the US Stock Exchange, as well as in other major international trading centers. The fact that they are traded on the stock exchange differentiates them from mutual funds, which instead usually value at the end of the day. Trading on ETFs on the other hand is continuous, in the same way as shares, so their value, their price, varies continuously throughout the trading day.
The management company of the ETF will continuously bring the fund's share back to the level of the reference index (whose prices also change continuously). The deviation from the index should generally not exceed 2%.
ETF Guide for Beginners
Let's move on to ETF trading. We’ve prepared this ETF guide for beginners because we’ve always received questions like; how do you trade on ETFs? How do you trade ETFs online, from the comfort of your home or office computer or from your mobile device?
The answer is simple: via CFDs. As we will see later in this ETF trading guide, CFDs are financial instruments that replicate the performance of other financial instruments, among which ETFs can also be chosen. To operate, you need to access a trading platform, made available by the broker with whom you open an online trading account. We will also talk about reliable platforms in this ETF trading guide.
Before getting to CFDs, however, it is good to complete the discussion on ETFs, which, although synthetic and "panoramic", cannot fail to include the variety of ETFs available on the market and on which you can also trade online.
What ETFs can Beginners Invest in?
In this section of explaining ETF trading for beginners, we highlight the variety of ETFs you can invest in or trade in online. Indeed, one of the best features of this financial instrument is the wide range of sectors on which attention can be drawn and which can be taken advantage of.
ETF commodity refers to raw materials, among them we could include agricultural raw materials, metals and those relating to the energy field.
Examples of Agricultural Commodities ETFs are those that follow indices that refer to multiple agricultural productions including coffee, wheat, sugar, soy, etc. Examples of “metals” commodities can be Gold ETFs (the most popular) as well as Silver ETFs and so on. As far as energy commodities are concerned, among the most traded of all are the Oil ETFs and Natural Gas ETFs.
Equity ETFs are Exchange Traded Funds that are based on equity securities, i.e. the shares issued by the publicly traded company. Their goal is to provide investment returns that match the price and return performance, gross of fees and commissions, of publicly traded securities in a given market in a given sector.
Therefore, equity ETFs aim to replicate a benchmark index relating to shares of a given sector or a specific type.
For example, there are ETFs that seek to replicate indices based on the shares of a specific stock market, or issued by companies operating in the same sector (e.g. production of a good or provision of a service).
It should be noted that many equity ETFs are of the "daily" type, that is, designed for same-day trading, in order to have a more precise replication of the benchmark index.
The metals ETFs, although they may be included among those related to raw materials, actually require specific attention. Gold ETFs, for example, are among the most requested ETFs on the market, by investors and traders.
Among the Metals ETFs we can include, in addition to those relating to precious metals, also those relating to industrial metals or specific to the industry (and securities of related companies).
The index ETFs referenced by ETFs generally referred to as “Index ETFs” can be of various kinds. They can in fact refer to stock market indices or to indices that group securities of a particular category, sector or area.
The Energy ETFs are those that replicate indexes that can include titles that refer to the energy market, or to the extraction of oil and natural gas companies, as well as other energy sources. It should be noted that in addition to Oil ETFs and Natural Gas ETFs, Alternative Energy ETFs have also come forward.
The ETF Exchange rates or ETF Currencies, ETFs are those that refer to the currency market. Their goal is to replicate the performance of a currency or currency index.
Emerging countries ETFs
The ETF Emerging Countries , very popular in the last decade, are the ETFs that are based on the so-called emerging economies or the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
The MSCI includes numerous countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea , Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
The Leveraged ETF is characterized by the presence of the leverage, therefore, they may cover all types described so far.
We have seen that ETFs have the objective of replicating the performance of a given index. Leveraged ETFs, on the other hand, are characterized by the objective of replicating a performance equal to 2 or 3 times that of the underlying index.
Other Leveraged ETFs, called Inverse Leveraged, on the contrary, aim to replicate a performance equal to 2 or 3 times the opposite of the index performance itself.
Trading ETFs with CFDs
So far, we have learnt from this ETF trading for beginners what ETFs are, how they work and the types of ETFs on the market. Let's now move on to discuss the financial instrument that allows you to trade on ETFs online, from the comfort of your home or from your mobile device.
The financial instrument in question is the CFD or Contract for Difference. This tool was created in the 90s with the intention of creating a tool that would allow the average user to operate on the markets with small capital.
But how does CFD work? Its peculiarity is that of replicating the performance of an underlying financial instrument, which can be a share, a future, but also an ETF.
Trading CFDs with ETFs means just that: trading CFDs that track the performance of ETFs. The curious thing is that in turn, ETFs track the performance of other indices.
How ETF CFD trading works
Want to know how ETF trading for beginners works? In trading with CFDs it is possible to trade upwards or downwards depending on whether a rise or fall in the price is expected.
When you trade, you can in fact open two types of positions:
Buy Position (also called Long): it is the bullish position. You will have to open this type of position in case you anticipate a price increase after the moment of opening the buy position. If the price actually rises, you profit, otherwise you make a loss. This is the old "buy low, sell high".
Selling Position (also called Short): it is the bearish position. You will need to open this type of position in case you anticipate a fall in price after the opening of the sell position. In this case the economic result is the other way around, so if the price actually suffers a loss you go to profit, otherwise you face a loss.
When trading you will notice differences between the value of the CFDs and the market prices. In this regard, to find the market prices you can click on the details of the asset on the broker's website.
These (small) differences are due to the online broker adding the spread as compensation for its brokerage services and provision of CFDs. Spreads are automatically deducted when the position is opened. They are on average much lower than the commissions required by traditional brokers.
CFD ETF Trading Tools
How is it possible to trade CFDs on ETFs from home or from mobile? Through the trading platforms. The trading platform is nothing more than a virtual environment or software through which orders can be given to the broker.
What orders? Opening of buy and sell positions, stop loss, stop limit and more. To access a CFD trading platform on ETFs, you can proceed either via a browser or via a mobile application or software.
An example of a trading platform that allows you to trade ETFs with CFDs is the eToro platform
ETF Trading Broker
When you want to trade ETFs online, it is good to select a well-known platform, with a stable and reliable broker firm, authorized by the relevant regulatory authorities. For this, we recommend that you also evaluate these trading platforms, which you have probably already heard of.
Anyone who has done a search for brokers at least once to trade online has come across eToro at least once. Obviously, because it is one of the most important companies internationally in the field of trading and specifically in trading with CFDs. When it comes to ETFs, it offers a wide range of choices on Commodity ETFs and Index ETFs.
With regard to ETF Indices, these include numerous types of indices, as reported in our specific article. As for the platform, the eToro interface is characterized by an easy-to-use display. In fact, it turns out to discover all the features present on the platform and the way to activate them. eToro offers a free demo account with no deposit required. The real account requires a minimum deposit of $100, a sum that you can use entirely to trade.
ETF Trading for Beginners - Conclusion
With this ETF trading guide we hope to have made you appreciate more the ETF financial instrument, which is usually overshadowed but which, as we have seen, proves to be interesting and offers advantages that must certainly be taken into account. To start getting familiar with ETFs or simply out of curiosity, you can try without obligation using a demo mode platform, which will allow you to trade without making any deposit.

The 4th of July parade was such a big deal in dievca’s hometown. People dressed up, bands played, Veterans marched.
Is it still like that in small towns?
NYC may have a parade…dievca is not sure. she’s never looked it up or gone to watch. What she really misses is the Beer and Bratwurst Tent that the Lions Club sponsored for the weekend – their bratwursts were pork.
(Is the corn knee-high by the 4th of July? If yes – its a good crop year)
In the evening of the 4th, you would sit almost under the fireworks offered at the local High School Soccer fields. It was social, yet – intimate. dievca felt like she was a part of the Earth and the Universe.
Something to ponder.
So, dievca’s hometown did host a parade and fireworks this year, but the Brat Tent is on hold until 2022…
There was an issue on the French news….about too many tourists on the beaches.
That’s a refrain echoing in a growing number of European cities. The neoclassical gems that once made up the grand tour have been stops on package tours since the 19th century. But it’s only over the past decade or so that the number of travelers to these and other must-see destinations risks subsuming the places. Around 87 million tourists visited France in 2017, breaking records; 58.3 million went to Italy; and even the tiny Netherlands received 17.9 million visitors. (Time Magazine)
dievca’s Dutch friend told her about how the tourists are really dangerous on the bicycles in Amsterdam and the older people are too scared to bike around the City and get out of their houses.
How much is too much? And how are people to live in the Cities they love?
dievca runs into this in NYC. she sighs and tries to remember that tourism brings a lot of $ to the City. It’s annoying though~ five people walking abreast, taking selfies, clogging the Subways and expecting you to be kind and pleased that they are spending time in NYC – all when you need to get the hell to work and are pissed that they are lollygagging around.
In France, dievca kept her mouth shut most of the time. Tried to speak her pathetic French and was very cognizant of the locals. she avoided the hot tourist areas and when she was there, she was polite – even when a Honfleur shopkeeper was exceptionally nasty immediately upon entry to a nougat shop. dievca’s friend, who’s French is superb — went after her. dievca just walked out — an 80 Euro loss to someone who was located in a very touristy spot and having a bad day. dievca felt bad — it was early August, just the beginning of the Holiday month in France. The Lady was going to have a tough month. (Menopause kicking in? maybe – it was that odd.)
A tough issue for Cities like Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Palma, Venice, Dubrovnik, Copenhagen and more. And with Millennials wanting to travel:
Millennials will likely have more of an impact on travel and tourism than any other generational group, according to a new report from Resonance Consultancy. The report—the “Future of U.S. Millennial Travel”—studied the travel habits and preferences of Millennials, a generation that values experiences over material possessions.
It is going to be an issue for the future.
