#macromondays #Damage
All physical damage begins on the atomic level, with the shifting or breaking of atomic bonds, and the rate at which damage to any physical thing occurs is therefore largely dependent on the elasticity of such bonds in the material being subjected to stress. Damage can occur where atomic bonds are not completely broken, but are shifted to create unstable pockets of concentration and diffusion of the material, which are more susceptible to later breakage. The effect of outside forces on a material depends on the relative elasticity or plasticity of the material; if a material tends towards elasticity, then changes to its consistency are reversible, and it can bounce back from potential damage. However, if the material tends towards plasticity, then such changes are permanent, and each such change increases the possibility of a crack or fault appearing in the material.
What we got here in little world is trully a crime. Someone damaged the old stilled lightbulb and left away with all the trash. This brings up another case for the CSI-Crime Team. Hope they catch the responsible person as sooon as possible :)

'After looking at the Alps, I felt that my mind had been stretched beyond the limits of its elasticity, and fitted so loosely on my old ideas of space that I had to spread these to fit it.'
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The quiet sense of something lost...-- Tennyson
_______________
That feeling where something is happening–a thread of your life is losing its elasticity and slipping from your grasp; it is slipping so quickly you cannot think of what to do, how to save it, and yet it is slipping so slowly, drawing out every question of hesitation, every second of regret.
I can’t be the only person who knows this feeling.
It is the sense that a crossroad is soon looming in the near horizon, ready to shake your foundation and force you to make a choice.
It is the sense that every word, every action, every decision will shape a little bit more of who you are and who you will become.
It is the sense that illuminates every weakness in you, every bit of traction inside of you.
It is, in the words of Tennyson, “the quiet sense of something lost.”
Spinnenseide ist dünner als ein menschliches Haar und doch um ein Vielfaches stärker als Stahl. Gleichzeitig ist sie dehnbarer als Gummi.
The tensile strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much greater elasticity.
Last year, some of my works looked more than 10,000 times. I hope in the New 2020 we have this figure will be 100,000! I wish everyone to increase everything by 10 times! You never know where the path will lead you!
I like the potential that was 20 years ago in the first CCD cameras! Despite the simplicity, these tools outlived their later brethren! And not only in time ...
Ω, ω (name: omega, Greek ωμέγα) is the 24th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of the Greek alphabetical record of numbers, it has a numerical value of 800. From the letter “omega” originated the Cyrillic letter Ѡ, known as “from” and “omega”. In ancient Greek, omega meant a long sound [oː], while an omicron (ο) meant a brief [o]. The ancient Greek name "ὦ μέγα" means "" about "big" (o-mega) - as opposed to "small" about ", that is, the letter omicron. In modern Greek omega and omicron are read the same.
In a figurative sense, omega, as the last letter of the alphabet, often means the extreme limit, the end of something.
What am I doing this for?
I like this game and glide along the wave while waiting for the moment ...
What are the motives?
1Real: I live when I watch the process!
2 That sounds good:
Investing in yourself.
What skills should I develop?
Hone work style
Mastery of composition
How to do it
Own experience
Information (Books
Video)
Communication with like-minded people
How much time to spend
Communication is the key!
Goals and values.
Contempt for public values
Reliance on personal values (straight across Nietzsche)
How to identify them?
What makes me get up in the morning?
What is most important to me both in life and in business?
Liberty. New Horizons. Amazing world. New people.
What am I really aiming for?
All this as a filter of perception for ease of achieving the goal !!!!
It is important to do what I consider important and to do so until the goal is achieved!
Believe in yourself!
Never question your honesty. Say what I think!
Take your features and use them!

Hypothesis
In order for any science to budge, so that its expansion becomes more perfect, hypotheses are necessary in the same way as testimony of experience and observation. What the observer collected with accuracy and thoroughness, and the comparison in his mind somehow arranged, the philosopher unites all this with one point of view, connects it into one, and creates in this way the opportunity to examine and use everything. Let such a theory, such a hypothesis be only fiction, but it nevertheless brings enough benefit. She teaches us to see individual things in communication, distant things in the neighborhood. Only in this way do knowledge gaps become apparent. Known relationships are found that are not explained by them. This is what attracts attention, makes you trace those points that are the most interesting just because they reveal completely new sides. But most importantly, the hypothesis elevates the soul
and returns her elasticity, as if stolen from her by separate disparate data of experience. The hypothesis in the doctrine of nature is the same as in morality, belief in God, in all - the immortality of the soul. These sublime feelings combine everything that is generally good in a person, elevate him above himself and lead him beyond the point to which he would have come without these feelings. 1790 Goethe

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

..... on an early morning walk one misty morning, there was a plethora of webs strung across more or less all of the vegetation, and each one was holding a myriad of varying sizes of water droplets. This is a little series of a few of them. The weight of the water in some was causing the webs to hang down like bowls which swayed in the breeze. It very much highlights their strength and elasticity, I think.
Augustus Edward Hough Love, was a mathematician famous for his work on the mathematical theory of elasticity.

I composed this image of the Antwerp Railway Station while transiting through Antwerp during a recent visit to Belgium.
Antwerp's first railway station was the terminus of the Brussels–Mechelen–Antwerp railway line, which opened on 3 June 1836. The original station building was made of wood and was replaced by a new and larger building on the occasion of the opening of the new international connection to the Netherlands in 1854–55.
The current terminal station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the first station. The stone-clad building was designed by the architect Louis Delacenserie. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen.
During World War II, severe damage was inflicted to the train hall by the impact of V-2 rockets, though the structural stability of the building remained ntact. Nevertheless, the warping of the substructure due to a V-2 impact caused constructional stresses, including a wave-distortion in the roofing of the hall.
In the mid-20th century, the building's condition had deteriorated to the point that its demolition was being considered. The station was closed on 31 January 1986 for safety reasons, after which restoration work to the roof and façades was performed. The stress problems due to the impact of bombs during the war were solved by the use of polycarbonate sheets instead of glass, due to its elasticity and its relatively low weight, which avoided the need for extra supporting pillars.

"My red umbrella is back, has ventured out of cover again after more than four years. Wrinkled, with declining elasticity, he has adapted to his owner over the years... 😉
Casually, he leans against the wall, looks around, and you can look forward to what he can tell us these days..."
„Mein roter Schirm ist zurück, hat sich nach mehr als vier Jahren wieder aus seiner Deckung gewagt. Faltig, mit nachlassender Spannkraft, hat er sich über die Jahre seinem Besitzer angepasst… 😉
Lässig lehnt er an der Mauer, schaut sich um, und man darf gespannt darauf sein, was er uns dieser Tage so alles zu erzählen vermag…“

My personal challenge for 2022 - I'll try - and do my very best...
Meine persönliche Herausforderung für 2022 - ich werd's versuchen - und mein Bestes geben…
Scoubidou (Craftlace, scoobies) is a knotting craft, made for children. It originated in France, where it became a fad in the late 1950s and has remained popular. It is named after the 1958 song of the same name by the French singer Sacha Distel.
Two spools of plastic used for scoubidou
Scoubidou returned to fashion in various countries, including the United Kingdom, in 2004 and 2005. It uses commercially supplied plastic strips or tubes.[1]
The most common kind of thread used for the craft is flat and comes in many colors, sometimes called "gimp thread". Another kind of scoubidou thread is supple, round and hollow plasticized PVC tubes usually about 80 centimetres in length. They are sold in various colors, sizes and types, and are used to make items by binding them together with knots. On account of their elasticity and hollow cross-section—which allow them to collapse and deform when pulled—they form tight and stable knots. Key chains, friendship bands and other trinkets are most commonly woven, although more complicated shapes and figures can also be created.[2]
“The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier”
Sir Walter Scott
For Lancia, the Aprilia, produced from 1937 - 1949, simultaneously marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. Technologically speaking, this was a supremely refined model, with a load-bearing body, a compact narrow V engine, independent suspension on all four wheels and extremely innovative aerodynamic lines.
During the 1920s, the invention of wind tunnels allowed industrial designers to seek new levels of performance for motor vehicles by improving their aerodynamics. In the United States, “streamline design” was all the rage, a trend for producing sinuous and aerodynamic lines, starting with airplanes, then trains and then cars, increasing their speed but also emphasizing their extravagant stylistic features.
This movement reached Italy in the 1930s when streamlining, a symbol of modernity, inspired the lines of the new Lancia Aprilia. But compared to the American style, Vincenzo Lancia’s trusted designer Battista Falchetto - who had shared the honors for the stunning design of the Lambda - created a car with fewer frills and more concrete lines, aimed at improving aerodynamics. The grille and windscreen were therefore slightly inclined, and the egg shape - considered at the time the most efficient profile from an aerodynamic point of view - gave character to the rear part. The compact and streamlined bonnet was made possible by the small size of the narrow V engine... an authentic concentrate of technology. It consisted of a light alloy monobloc with cast iron barrels, V valves controlled by rockers moved by an overhead camshaft and a hemispherical top on the combustion chamber. With only 1,352 cc it generated 48 HP which, thanks also to a total weight of only 850 kg, plus an excellent aerodynamic coefficient of just 0.47, thrust the Aprilia up to 125 km/h.
The Aprilia was a true Piedmontese aristocrat, refined and precise in every detail. Its famous four pillarless doors, a true Lancia icon, also have an extraordinary curved profile and invisible hinges. The famous click - the sound of the doors closing - underlined the scrupulous attention to the smallest details in design and assembly which typified Lancia’s outstanding modus operandi, providing an unforgettable grace note. The interiors, especially in the Luxury version, featured a classy geometric instrument panel on a grey background with black and white graphics: the square speedometer and clock perfectly matched with the rectangles chosen for the thermometer and the fuel gauge. The Lancia cloth upholstery (available on request in leather), the door panels, the roof covering and the rubber mats were the final touches of a creation which was the closest possible motorcar version of the classic Turin interiors of the period.
Its extremely low weight was mainly due to the load-bearing body: a Lancia patent - first seen in the 1920s on the Lambda - which, by overcoming the classic architecture which kept the chassis and bodywork separate, improved torsional rigidity and significantly reduced volumes. The independent suspension on all four wheels, with rear transversal leaf spring and front coil springs, enabled the Lancia Aprilia to offer road grip and passenger comfort that was much superior to most of its contemporary rivals.
The Lancia Aprilia contained all the most innovative and refined technical solutions that were so dear to Vincenzo Lancia. It constituted a pinnacle of motorcar production, carried out under the direct supervision of the founder of the Turin company. The name of the car came from that of an ancient Lazio town: a characteristic that linked it to its predecessors, the Artena and the Astura.
The Lancia Aprilia was presented to the public at the thirtieth edition of the Paris Motor Show, in October 1936. On February 15, 1937 its creator had a sudden and fatal heart attack, just before the car went into production. He was only 55 years old. Thus the Aprilia became universally seen as the spiritual testament of Vincenzo Lancia, becoming a huge commercial success, which continued even after the adversities of the second World War.
The first series of the Lancia Aprilia was produced from 1937 to 1939 in 10,354 units: a Sedan in standard and Luxury trims, to which were added 4,350 chassis for custom-made versions, on which the best Italian coachbuilders reveled in producing streamlined and elegant spiders and cabriolets. Pinin Farina's aerodynamic coupé was highly original, with its characteristic flattened muzzle, the central position of the 2 + 2 passenger compartment and an elegant tail.
Two years after the start of production, the second series was born, characterized by the increase in displacement to 1,486 cc. The power remained unchanged, but this improved the elasticity of the engine and the maximum speed. Despite a weight increase to 950 kg, it gained 1 km/h. In the decade from 1939-1949, 11,082 sedans were produced plus 2,252 chassis for coachbuilders.
The production of the Aprilia continued - with a further 703 exemplars - even after the Second World War, a period in which the model, despite being almost ten years old, could still be proud of its highly modern mechanics and settings. It held its place in the market right up to the last days of production, and in racing it remained the undisputed dominator of the Tourism class up to 1500 cc for years: it also triumphed in the Mille Miglia of 1947 thanks to its powerful acceleration and peerless road holding.
To this day, more than eighty years after its presentation, the Aprilia is considered a timeless pioneering car which, by gathering all the best of Lancia’s innovative philosophy, inaugurated a new era in motoring. Vincenzo Lancia was usually hypercritical about his cars, but after test driving the Aprilia prototype he spontaneously exclaimed: "What a magnificent car!".

2014 - Rome,Via della Lungara (rione Trastevere)
Una delle 5 parole che caratterizzano la città di Roma sicuramente è il “sampietrino”. Il sanpietrino o sampietrino, è il nome del blocchetto di leucitite utilizzato per la realizzazione del lastricato stradale di uso comune nel centro storico di Roma per pavimentare strade o piazze. Accostando più blocchetti si ottiene una pavimentazione su estese superfici che prende appunto il nome di sampietrini È stato inventato sotto Papa Sisto V e fu utilizzato per lastricare tutte le strade principali di Roma: si comportava meglio degli altri lastricati esistenti per quanto riguarda il passaggio dei carri. La caratteristica di questo tipo di pavimentazione è di non essere cementata, ma solo posata e poi battuta su un letto di sabbia: questo le conferisce elasticità e capacità di coesione e adattamento al fondo stradale. Ha anche il pregio di adattarsi molto facilmente all'irregolarità del terreno ed è molto resistente.I suoi lati negativi sono che non garantisce un terreno uniforme e, se bagnato, può diventare piuttosto scivoloso, rendendolo inadatto a velocità sostenute. Oggigiorno è ancora usato per luoghi caratteristici nel centro storico di Roma in particolare nel rione Trastevere
One of the 5 words that characterize the city of Rome is definitely the " sampietrino ." The cobblestone or sampietrino , is the name of the block leucitite used for the construction of paved road in common use in the historic center of Rome to pave streets or squares . Combining more blocks you get a paving over large surfaces that takes the name of cobblestones It was invented under Pope Sixtus V and was used to pave all the roads leading to Rome : he behaved better than the other existing paved with regard to the passage of wagons . The characteristic of this type of flooring is not to be cemented , but only laid and then stop on a bed of sand : this gives elasticity and ability to cohesion and adaptation to the road surface . It also has the advantage of adapting to the irregularity of the ground very easily and is very resistente.I its downsides are that it does not guarantee a uniform soil and , when wet , it can become quite slippery , making it unsuitable for high speeds. Today it is still used for characteristic places in the historic center of Rome, in particular in Trastevere

"According to a 2020 study using a molecular clock calibrated with 27 chelicerate fossils, spiders most likely diverged from other chelicerates between 375 and 328 million years ago.
The discovery of Chimerarachne in early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) aged Burmese amber has also demonstrated that taxa existed until the Cretaceous that had both spinnerets, and a whip-like telson."

Este escaramujo es el resultado de un apilado de campo. Son 38 disparos apilados. Queria en esta ocasión comprobar el aguante al viento del sistema y de otro lado la elasticidad de zenere al apilar.
El motivo no es quizá el mejor, pero parece que quedo bastante estable y curioso.

This hip is the result of a stack of field . 38 stacked shots. This time I wanted to test the endurance to wind system and across the elasticity of Zenere when stacking .
The reason is perhaps not the best , but it seems to stay fairly stable and curious.

* Neem oil is used for preparing cosmetics (soap, shampoo, balms and creams), and is useful for skin care such as acne treatment, and keeping skin elasticity.
* Besides its use in traditional Indian medicine the neem tree is of great importance for its anti-desertification properties and possibly as a good carbon dioxide sink.
* Practictioners of traditional Indian medicine recommend that patients suffering from chicken pox sleep on neem leaves.
* Neem gum is used as a bulking agent and for the preparation of special purpose food (those for diabetics).
* Aqueous extracts of neem leaves have demonstrated significant antidiabetic potential.
* Traditionally, teeth cleaning was conducted by the chewing of slender neem branches. Neem twiggs are still collected and sold in markets for this use, and one often sees youngsters in the streets chewing on neem twiggs.

Spiders produce silken thread using several paired spinneret glands located at the tip of their abdomen. Each gland produces a thread for a special purpose – for example a trailed safety line, sticky silk for trapping prey or fine silk for wrapping it. Spiders use different gland types to produce different silks, and some spiders are capable of producing up to 8 different silks during their lifetime.
Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, each having its own function – there are also spiders with just one pair and others with as many as four pairs.
Webs allow a spider to catch prey without having to expend energy by running it down. Thus it is an efficient method of gathering food. However, constructing the web is in itself an energetically costly process due to the large amount of protein required, in the form of silk. In addition, after a time the silk will lose its stickiness and thus become inefficient at capturing prey. It is not uncommon for spiders to eat their own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning. The silk proteins are thus recycled.
The tensile strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much greater elasticity. . Taken in eastern Oregon long ago. Rising early in the morning which is usually the best time to find webs unbroken and decorated in dew and sunlight.

The amazing spider web: Spiders produce silken thread using several paired spinneret glands which are found at the tip of their abdomen. There are 7 different glands, each producing a thread for a particular purpose when capturing the spider's prey. One type of silk can trap the prey and another type of silk can wrap the prey. Most spiders have 3 pairs of spinnerets, although some may have 4. Sometimes a web will lose its effectiveness or stickiness and a spider will eat its own web to gain energy and recycle the silk proteins. Believe it or not, the relative strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much more elasticity. It's actually been used in research studies for possible use in bullet-proof vests and artificial tendons. So the next time you get caught in a spider's web, you'll know why it's often so difficult to remove the sticky silk from yourself! The most difficult task in making the web for the spider is the very first step! It must release a thin line of thread from its spinner and by using the wind, hopefully this silk will attach itself to where the spider would like to contstruct its web. Then the spider carefully walks over that line and lays down another thread over the first line in order to give strength to that first piece. The next step involves hanging a thread from the primary thread in the shape of a Y which makes up the first 3 radial of the web. A few of these radials can be seen in this photo. More radials are then made, followed by a non-sticky circular construction of spirals. Finally, sticky circular spirals replace the non-sticky spirals and the web is completed.
China, Beijing, Food, 6,280 kg fresh Chinese winter truffles.
In the southeast part of Tibet bordering Yunnan & Sichuan, abundant truffles, botanical name “Tuber Indicum”, are found & they resemble French black summer truffles.
Truffles in Sichuan & Yunnan grow in red-soil plateau areas & the skin is brown, different from black-skin “Tuber Himalayensis”, also worth mentioning are white so-called "Female Truffles".
Truffles lose the aroma & the flavour after having being harvested from the subterranean soil & are usually found in close association with tree roots. In order to enjoy the maximum aroma & flavour of any kind of truffles, it's best to consume them within a few days after harvesting.
Chinese truffles are harvested in the mountainous areas of Yunnan & Sichuan, then transported to Kunming or Chengdu for processing into 5 categories, at the point of being ready for export, around 10 days might have passed, plus 3-5 more days shipping time from Kunming or Chengdu to major European cities, they might be already 2 weeks old when they're bought & consumed by the customers, some of the aroma & flavour have been gone. This happens to any truffles, French black truffles from Périgord or Italian from Piedmont, after 10 days in the fridge room, they smelled the same as 2 week-old Chinese truffles. Chines truffles smell & taste wise can be compared to French or Italian summer truffles. Chinese truffles tend to be more elastic than Périgord Black truffles, sliced Chinese truffles generally won’t break because of the difference in elasticity; they are more likely to bend than break.
The truffles getting more difficult to harvest, the quantity decreased from over 300 tons 2007 in Yunnan & Sichuan to about 120 tons in 2013 due to less demand during the worldwide economic crisis, the highest price raised for 1 kg 4-6 cm diameter good quality fresh truffle $40 to $60 per kg in 2007 to about 160$ & higher in 2016.
👉 👉 👉 Note: to whom it may concern or be interested.
👉 Unfortunately, unserious truffle dealers in Europe do mix French or Italian truffles with Chinese Truffles. By rubbing them with some soil from European truffles, due to the strong fragrance of the French or Italian truffles you will not notice.
A Chinese & French truffles resemble a lot not only by exterior appearance, but also genetically & mycorrhizas. Chinese truffles are not fake truffles, they deserve the "Tuber", are as edible as French or Italian & do not contain less nutrients than French or Italian ones. Because of the immense price difference, the fraudulent profit is enormous.
Complaining is pointless because it is "a natural product that grows in the wild & unfortunately there can be differences in taste".
👉 For years they have also been increasingly used in charcuterie, cheese & other products in order to give the product a "luxury image" & therefore to achieve an unjustified, significantly higher price, most customers then think of French or Italian truffles.

What do we know about wrinkles ? In short - Wrinkles are folds, ridges, or creases in the skin or on fabric.
Following description refers to wrinkles in fabric...
Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges that typically appear on the skin as a result of aging, repeated facial expressions, or other external factors. Here’s a more detailed description of wrinkles:
Causes of Wrinkles:
Aging: As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and becomes thinner and drier, leading to the formation of wrinkles.
Facial Movements and Expressions: Repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting can cause lines and creases in the skin.
Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, which are essential for maintaining skin’s structure and elasticity.
Smoking: Nicotine in cigarettes narrows blood vessels in the outer layers of the skin, impairing blood flow and reducing the skin's ability to repair itself.
Dehydration: Lack of adequate moisture can make the skin appear more wrinkled and dry.
Genetics: Hereditary factors can influence the timing and extent of wrinkle formation.
Environmental Factors: Pollution and exposure to toxins can accelerate skin aging and contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
Diet and Lifestyle: Poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and high levels of stress can negatively impact skin health and contribute to the development of wrinkles.
Types of Wrinkles:
Fine Lines: These are small, shallow lines that often first appear around the eyes (crow’s feet) and mouth.
Deep Furrows: These are more pronounced lines and folds that can develop on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the nose and mouth.
Prevention and Treatment:
Sun Protection: Wearing sunscreen, hats, and protective clothing can help prevent UV-induced skin damage.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking can contribute to healthier skin.
Skincare Products: Using moisturizers, retinoids, and other anti-aging products can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Medical Treatments: Procedures such as chemical peels, laser therapy, Botox injections, and dermal fillers can effectively reduce or eliminate wrinkles.
Hydration: Keeping the skin well-hydrated can help maintain its elasticity and reduce the formation of wrinkles.
Visual Characteristics:
Texture: Wrinkled skin often feels less smooth and may have a more uneven texture.
Appearance: Wrinkles can appear as fine lines or deeper creases, often more noticeable in areas of frequent movement, such as around the eyes, mouth, and on the forehead.
Color: The skin around wrinkles can sometimes appear darker or lighter due to changes in pigmentation.
Understanding the factors contributing to wrinkles and adopting preventive measures can help maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Description of wrinkles i nfabric
ChatGPT
Wrinkles in fabric refer to the creases, folds, or ridges that form on cloth materials due to various factors. Here's a detailed description of wrinkles in fabric:
Causes of Wrinkles in Fabric:
Compression: When fabric is pressed or folded tightly for a period of time, it can develop wrinkles. This often happens during storage or packing.
Moisture: Exposure to moisture can cause fibers to swell and then contract unevenly as they dry, leading to wrinkling.
Heat: Excessive heat from washing or drying can alter the shape of fabric fibers, causing them to shrink or expand irregularly, resulting in wrinkles.
Movement: Continuous movement and friction, such as wearing or handling the fabric, can create wrinkles, especially in areas of frequent bending like elbows and knees.
Fabric Type: Different fabrics have varying tendencies to wrinkle. Natural fibers like cotton and linen wrinkle more easily than synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon.
Types of Wrinkles in Fabric:
Sharp Creases: These are well-defined, linear folds that typically occur from precise folding or pressing.
Surface Wrinkles: These are less defined, small, and shallow creases that spread across the surface of the fabric.
Deep Folds: These are pronounced, deeper lines that form when fabric is heavily compressed or bent for a longer period.
Prevention and Treatment:
Proper Storage: Store fabrics by hanging them or folding them loosely to avoid excessive pressure that can cause wrinkles.
Ironing: Using an iron on the appropriate heat setting can help remove wrinkles by flattening the fabric fibers.
Steaming: A garment steamer can effectively remove wrinkles by relaxing the fibers using steam.
Fabric Softeners: Adding fabric softeners during washing can reduce the tendency of fabric to wrinkle.
Proper Washing and Drying: Following care instructions, such as washing on a gentle cycle and promptly removing clothes from the dryer, can help prevent wrinkles.
Anti-Wrinkle Sprays: These products can be sprayed onto fabric to help smooth out wrinkles without the need for ironing.
Visual Characteristics:
Texture: Wrinkled fabric has an uneven, bumpy texture compared to the smooth surface of unwrinkled fabric.
Appearance: Wrinkles can appear as lines, creases, or folds, varying in depth and length depending on the cause and type of fabric.
Shading: Wrinkles can create shadows or highlights on the fabric, making the wrinkled areas appear darker or lighter than the surrounding material.
Examples of Common Situations Leading to Wrinkles:
Packing Luggage: Clothes packed tightly in a suitcase often come out wrinkled.
Sitting for Long Periods: Fabric can wrinkle in areas of stress, such as the knees or elbows, after sitting or bending for a long time.
Laundry Practices: Leaving clothes in the washing machine or dryer after the cycle has finished can lead to wrinkling.
By understanding the factors that contribute to fabric wrinkles and adopting proper care techniques, you can maintain a neater and more presentable appearance for your textiles and garments.

The cicada is the one of the world's loudest insects, recording sounds of up to 120 decibels. The males have to "switch off" their hearing organs while they sing, in order to avoid going deaf. Below 22 degrees Centigrade (72 degrees Fahrenheit), the resounding sections of the diaphragm lose their elasticity. For this reason the cicada shuts up during rain or after sunset.
On the other hand, cicadas don't like extreme heat either and won't sing when it’s over 36 degrees Celsius (97 degrees Fahrenheit) in the shade.

Detail of fiberglass fibers and bundles protruding from an edge of calcium-silicate pipe insulation material. Often with a higher heat-rating and a very similar appearance to asbestos magnesia insulation, this highly fibrous, vintage non-asbestos material was designed to compete with and eventually replace asbestos magnesia insulations.
The fiberglass material demonstrated above depicts a visually peculiar display of rather interestingly-shaped, straight, translucent fibers and bundles protruding throughout the insulation matrix; exhibiting characteristics somewhat unique, though not entirely exclusive for this material, such as: relatively uniform fiber width and straightness, cut bundle terminations, fiber elasticity, certain microscopic optical properties, etc.

Speedlites with green and purple gels from behind, diffused through frosted glass. I have seen these done a few times and thought I'd give it a try. It's just soap bubble mixture with some added glycerine for elasticity. I could actually move the bubble around with my finger without breaking it. Got quite a few good ones and some strange effects.
