	KAP knots and hitches
		Knots and hitches are utilized for many purposes--joining two lines together, making a loop in a line, shortening lines, stopping lines, and attaching lines to anchors--posts, rings, cleats, etc. In fact, it is impossible to fly kites without the ability to tie a few basic knots.
		A knot or hitch has two characteristics in terms of its potential effectiveness--strength and slippage, both of which are important for deciding which knot to use for a given purpose.
		This compound knot combines the characteristics of the clove and half hitch into a knot that is quite strong and highly resistant to slippage.

		He used a burley-half hitch, which has one loop of rope around the neck, another loop just behind the front legs and one more loop in front of the rear legs.
		Moreover, mineral oil was applied to the tree and to the cow's head to lessen the tension it would feel when a tractor pulled it out.

	HOW TO TIE THE TEN MOST USEFUL KNOTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		There are over 4,000 hitches and bends used in special crafts, but—with the following 10 knots in your rope repertoire—you'll be able to handle just about any situation that requires you to fasten two objects together, secure one line to another, or tie a rope to a solid object.
		You can tie a clove hitch before you need it—so the hoop can be passed over a post-or the knot can be put in with a loop-the-loop operation (as over your pickup truck's cargo-tiedown hooks) while tension is held on the standing part of the rope.
		The taut-line hitch will slide up and down to provide a climber with freedom of movement, but—should he or she slip—it will tighten up and stop the fall short.

		In his article on asymmetrical spinnakers, Brian Hancock recommends using a cow hitch to attach the sheets to a spinnaker clew.
		A cow hitch (also called a lark's foot or lark's head) is a knot where the midpoint of a continuous sheet is led through the clew ring of the sail and then the bitter ends of the line are pulled through the loop formed by the mid point.
		Another alternative for this application would be a clove hitch, but many sailors feel that the cow hitch is easier to untie after it has been under load for a considerable amount of time.

	New study shows how mad cow prions hitch a ride into intestine
		A new study from the Department of Pathology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine shows that the infectious version of prion proteins, the main culprits behind the human form of mad cow disease or variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), are not destroyed by digestive enzymes found in the stomach.
		Furthermore, the study finds that the infectious prion proteins, also known as prions, cross the normally stringent intestinal barrier by riding piggyback on ferritin, a protein normally absorbed by the intestine and abundantly present in a typical meat dish.
		"The mad cow epidemic is far from over, and the continuous spread of a similar prion disease in the deer and elk population in the U.S. raises serious public health concerns," said Singh.

		The Girth Hitch, also known as the Lark's Foot (or Lark's Head, Cow Hitch, Lanyard Hitch) is useful for tying a sling to your harness.
		The loop of a girth hitch through which the two strands exit acts something like a pulley, and the sharper the angle of the webbing/cord as it passes around the loop, the more force and sawing effect you get.

		The timber hitch (Figure 17) is used for securing hardware to a tree (especially on large trees when the rope sling is not long enough to tie a cow hitch).
		This hitch is most secure when tied on larger pieces and when the pull is always against the bight, such that it tightens the hitch on the stem.

		When an alternate pair of half hitches (an 'S' or left half hitch followed by a 'Z' or right half hitch) is made and transferred to the carrier, you have what looks like a ring hitch, but owing to the transfer, is a true tatting 'double knot or double stitch'.
