The wing corkscrew was first invented in 1939. Corkscrews of this design are particularly popular in household use. Ours is well used for sure. HMM!

Più mi addentro nel tortuoso, magico ed infinito universo del Sistema Vivente, più mi convinco che l'uomo non ha inventato nulla che già non esistesse in Natura. Certo, può apparire arduo paragonare questo fiore di sterbergia ad una lampadina, ma cosa distingue un cervello da un computer? Semplicemente il fatto che il compoter viene comandato da altri, mentre il cervello (si spera) viene comandato da ciascuno di noi :-) ..... ..
Cholitas – Bolivians from the Indian Aymara tribe with their stylish bowler hats are what I usually associate with Bolivia. Where and how did they begin to wear these hats? Soon after inventing bowler hats the inventors wanted to sell them to British railway workers, who were stationed in Bolivia. But the hats delivered to South America were too small for British heads. They worked to make them attractive to woman in Bolivia by implying that all trendy and fashionable women in Europe wore these hats and it worked! Nowadays, the bowler hat is the Bolivian national pride and is an integral part of the traditional women’s clothing.

`MOVING LANDSCAPES
Mr Wilde has said that sunsets are out of fashion. This defect
could undoubtedly be covered
up if landscapes constantly moved around. The fact of seeing a
landscape in the same place
- is necessarily boring. The contrary would be charming. And
spectacular. A cluster of
trees migrating under the sky. Or a tree going on its way to the
jungle - alone -straight-
on its countless little, white legs.
But then people would invent cages to trap landscapes. and a
landscape in a cage can't feel
very happy.
Luis Vidales

I went for a walk along King, Wellington, Portland streets and took few photos of the older buildings still standing. Not many are left. This 5 story building is about the same height as a new 10 story building, so I predict it would soon be replaced. Canada population must be getting shorter. The nation which invented basketball is on the way to become like Appenzellers. (The Swiss make fun of the short people in this corner of Switzerland)
This is the rear of the 1913 Samuel & Benjamin Building. (Architect - Burke, Horwood & White). There may have been a restaurant in the basement and the exhaust is just a visual leftover. 'Samuel' is an established (1855) metal manufacturer (now in Oakville), one of few still operating in Canada.

L'invention du téléphone et des télécommunications intercontinentales a permis -d'après certains penseurs libéraux- l'avènement d'un village planétaire où tous, nous sommes reliés au reste de l'Humanité tels des frères et soeurs humains.
Et voici donc la preuve à quel point les télécommunications nous rapprochent. :-))

Nein ? Kein Wunder, habe ich sie doch gerade erfunden !! 😊
Sie funktioniert ganz einfach. Man legt nur wenig auf den Teller und isst mit vorgehaltener Lupe und schon vergrößert sich die Portion !! 👍😜
No ? No wonder, I just invented it! 😊
It works very simply. You just put only a little on your plate and eat with a magnifying glass in front of you and the portion increases!

Smile on Saturday: OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
The simple act of the spider weaving a star
in the gloom,
the elastic step of the cat towards the butterfly,
the hand that slides down the warm back of the horse,
the sidereal smell of the coffee flower,
the blue taste of vanilla,
they stop me at the bottom of the day.
There is a concave glow of ferns,
an Insect Resonance,
a changing presence of water in the stone corners.
I recognize here my age made of wild sounds,
of orchid fire,
of warm forest space,
where the woodpecker chimes the time.
Here the sunset invents a red rhinestones,
a constellation of fireflies,
a fall of lucid leaves towards the senses,
towards the end of the day,
where my free bones are enchanted.

Malaya the Snow Leopard strikes an iconic pose that echos an illuminated chapter heading inscribed by monks during the dark ages - from before Gutenberg invented moveable type....!
Friday night during the golden hour of sunset and the first hours of the Brookfield Zoo Holiday Lights festival, Malaya and her mate Sabu were more active than I've seen them! Here Malaya frolics with some extra something in a green bag that her caretakers gave her - is there such a thing as Leopard-Nip? Because she was pretty cranked up!

Geno's Steaks, South Philly, June 1, 2023
I also have a cropped version of this photo:
Geno's Steaks is a Philadelphia restaurant specializing in cheesesteaks, founded in 1966 by Joey Vento. Geno's is located in South Philadelphia at the intersection of 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, directly across the street from rival Pat's King of Steaks, which is generally credited with having invented the cheesesteak in 1933. The cheesesteak has since become a signature dish for the city of Philadelphia. After Joey Vento's death in 2011, restaurant ownership was passed to his son Geno Vento.
Playing chess with Linus although he always needs an eternity to ponder his next move.
I love playing chess but don't play very often because I'm lacking volunteers who want to play with me. One of the few volunteers is Linus who likes chess too but probably for different reasons than I do. He tends to invent his own rules and often causes havoc on the chessboard. And he hates to lose ....

La caserne Rochambeau est une « caserne rempart » construite entre 1765 et 1785. Elle devait augmenter la capacité d’hébergement de la place forte.
Couverte à l’origine d’une terrasse d’artillerie, elle est, par souci d’étanchéité, dotée au début du XIXème siècle d’une charpente en berceau exceptionnelle qui reprend un procédé inventé au XVIème siècle par Philibert de l’Orme. Le comble était utilisé comme écurie pour les mules et a pu servir de lieu de stockage et de lieu d’entraînement couvert.

By Leona
Begin, ephebe, by perceiving the idea
Of this invention, this invented world,
The inconceivable idea of the sun.
You must become an ignorant man again
And see the sun again with an ignorant eye
And see it clearly in the idea of it.
Never suppose an inventing mind as source
Of this idea nor for that mind compose
A voluminous master folded in his fire.
How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
That has expelled us and our images …

Bodnant Garden, Conwy.
Bodnant Garden, Autumn.
Bodnant Garden (Welsh: Gardd Bodnant) is a National Trust property near Tal-y-Cafn, in the county borough of Conwy, Wales, situated overlooking the Conwy Valley towards the Carneddau range of mountains. Founded in 1874 and developed by five generations of one family, it was gifted to the care of the National Trust in 1949.
The garden’s founder, Henry Davis Pochin, was a Leicestershire-born Victorian industrial chemist who acquired fame and fortune inventing a process for clarifying rosin used in soap, turning it from the traditional brown to white. He became a successful businessman, mayor and JP. Pochin bought the Bodnant estate in 1874 and employed Edward Milner, apprentice to Joseph Paxton, to redesign the land around the existing Georgian mansion house, then just lawns and pasture. Together Pochin and Milner relandscaped the hillside and valley, planting American and Asian conifers on the banks of the River Hiraethlyn to create a Pinetum, and reinforcing stream banks to create a woodland and water garden in the valley, in the style of the garden designer of the day William Robinson in his book The Wild Garden. In the upper garden, Pochin and Milner created the Laburnum Arch and glasshouses, to house exotics. Pochin also built The Poem, the family mausoleum in an area of the Shrub Borders.

Antoni Gaudí
Gaudí was an architect with an innate sense of geometry and volume, as well as a great imaginative capacity that allowed him to mentally project most of his works before moving them to plans. In fact, he rarely made detailed plans of his works; he preferred to recreate them on three-dimensional models, molding all the details as he thought of them. On other occasions, he would improvise on the fly, giving instructions to his collaborators about what they should do.
The work of Gaudí has achieved a wide international spread over the years, with countless studies dedicated to his way of understanding architecture. Nowadays, it is admired both by professionals and by the general public: La Sagrada Familia is currently one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Between 1984 and 2005 seven of its works have been considered a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

Hier habe ich 2 Entstehungsarten zu einem Bildkontrast überraschend kombiniert.
Es ist spannend, Bilder beim Malen zu erfinden. Man trägt Farbe auf dem Malgrund (z. B. Papier) und nach kurzer Zeit ist das Bild da - erstmalig sichtbar, überraschend und dauerhaft, wenn man es nicht durch weiteres Übermalen verändert.
Here I have surprisingly combined 2 types of image composition to a contrast image.
It's exciting to invent pictures while painting. You paint on the painting surface (eg paper) and after a short while the picture is there - for the first time visible, surprising and permanent, if you do not change it by further painting.
Es ist verwunderlich, wenn im Bild die gegenständliche Welt mit erfundener ungegenständlicher Malerei kombiniert wird. Die Situationen zeigen meist einen verfemdeten, irritierenden Himmel.
It is astonishing when in the picture the figurative world is combined with invented non-figurative painting. The situations usually show a stunned, irritating sky.

George Washington’s barn, reconstruction, in Mount Vernon, Virginia
The original wheat threshing barn was built between 1792-1794, and demolished ~ 1875. The barn was 2-story, 16-sided, brick and wooden structure. On the 2nd floor, there are an open space in the center and a hallway following the outer wall. The hallway has wooden floor, leaving a space between wood boards.
In the fall, they brought wheat upstairs and spreaded out. After wheats were dried, flail was used to separate grains in the center area. For wheats in the outer hallway, they made horses to walk around the hallway repeatedly. Separated wheat grains fell onto the 1st floor through the space between wood boards. Then collected grains were brought to the grist mill for flour.
During GW's time, the Mount Vernon was ~ 8,000 acres. As an independent plantation owner, GW needed to invent new scientific way to feed a huge population in the plantation and hundreds of guests annually.
Thermoscope invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s.
A brief on the science behind it:
Archimedes’ Principle: Objects float or sink depending on whether they are less or denser than the fluid they’re in.
Liquid Density: The clear liquid inside the thermoscope expands slightly as it warms, making it less dense. When it cools, it contracts and becomes denser.
Calibrated Bulbs: Each colored glass bulb has a small metal tag with a specific weight. These weights are carefully chosen so that at certain temperatures, the buoyant force matches the bulb’s weight.
