Although popular music sometimes is known as “pop music”, the two terms are not interchangeable. Popular music is a generic term for a wide variety of genres of music that appeal to the tastes of a large segment of the population, whereas pop music usually refers to a specific musical genre within popular music.

Pop music is not focused on any specific audience. It is meant to appeal to just about everyone that would listen and is therefore very commercial. It is used to reflect emerging trends and not specific ideologies. It is, therefore, focused on recordings and technology and not on live performance.

They have a good rhythm, a catchy melody, and are easy to remember and sing along to. They usually have a chorus that’s repeated several times and two or more verses. Most pop songs are between two and five minutes long, and the lyrics are usually about the joys and problems of love and relationships.

A point of presence (PoP) is a demarcation point, access point, or physical location at which two or more networks or communication devices share a connection.

The PoP switch provides an interface between the UDN backbone and the client institution, presenting the UDN services in a form appropriate to that institution (e.g. which physical ports have which VLANs tagged and untagged).

to sleep briefly

nap, kip (British, slang), snooze, drowse, take forty winks (informal)

Etymology 1. From Middle English nappen, from Old English hnappian (“to doze, slumber, sleep”), from Proto-Germanic *hnappōną (“to nap”). Cognate with Old High German hnaffezan, hnaffezzan (whence Middle High German nafzen (“to slumber”) whence German dialectal napfezen, nafzen (“to nod, slumber, nap”)).

The phrase with-nap on a layout sheet indicates that all pattern pieces are placed on the fabric going in the same direction, top to bottom. Use a with-nap layout for pile fabrics, like velvet and corduroy, and for satin and fabrics with a definite one-way design.

If a pattern piece has a “place on the fold” line, place that line exactly on the fold of the fabric. Pin the pattern along the fold. Extend pin tips beyond the fold so you don’t accidently cut along the fold of the fabric. Some pattern pieces may need to be placed on the fabric with their printed sides down.

What is Staystitching? Staystitching is a straight stitch sewn through one layer of fabric. It’s most often used around a curve to prevent distortion. This is because the curve cuts across the bias, the stretchiest part of the fabric. To see this in action, cut a curve out of some scrap fabric and then pull on it.

To determine if a fabric has nap, fold it right sides together matching the cut ends, then turn one corner back (1). Check that the layers look and feel exactly the same. If they don’t, the fabric has nap. If you still aren’t sure, use the cutting layout and sewing suggestions for nap fabric, just in case.

Primarily, nap is the raised (fuzzy) surface on certain kinds of cloth, such as velvet or moleskin. When cloth, especially woollen cloth, is woven, the surface of the cloth is not smooth, and this roughness is the nap. Generally the cloth is then “sheared” to create an even surface, and the nap is thus removed.

A. To put it simply, a fabric without nap is a fabric that looks the same whatever way round you turn it. A fabric with nap looks different, though this difference may be quite subtle and not easy to detect at first glance. When you look at a sewing pattern, think carefully about the fabric you intend to use.

How to make sure your pattern piece is straight. For pattern pieces not cut on the fold, your piece is straight if the grainline is parallel to the selvage of your fabric. You need to use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance from the grainline of your piece to the selvage of your fabric.
