![]() Overall, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is a very remarkable piece of US history and, beyond planting recommendations or weather forecasting, each addition does include a number of interesting, factual articles for gardeners and others. Results of this study found that 51.9% of the monthly precipitation forecasts and 50.7% of the monthly temperature forecasts were accurate, concluding that these percentages are similar to the 50% success rate expected by chance. John Walsh, in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, conducted a study testing the accuracy of the almanac’s monthly temperatures and precipitation forecasts by comparing them to the actual weather data over a 5 year period. One professor emeritus at University of Illinois did take a scientific look at the accuracy of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. The website also notes that, “We have refined and enhanced the formula with state-of-the-art technology and modern scientific calculations.” Over the years, the Almanac’s predictions have been criticized for being blatantly wrong and sometimes have been eerily correct. Thomas’ formula is noted to be based on the belief that sunspots influence weather on earth. Thomas, in 1792.” The original formula is kept in a black box that is locked, and few in history have observed it, adding to the mystic. According to the book’s website, “We derive our weather forecast from a secret formula that was devised by the founder of this almanac, Robert B. The Old Farmer’s Almanac also provides regional long-term weather forecasting, which is a tricky business. Other signs, such as Taurus and Cancer are attributed to more drought tolerance when planted at those times. Signs such as Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus or Cancer are considered fruitful, and it is recommended to plant during those signs. Therefore, planting and harvesting recommendations were based on the phase of the moon and the specific sign of the Zodiac for that particular day, thus the term “planting by the signs.”įor example, one general rule is to plant annual flowers and vegetables that bear crops above ground during the waxing moon and to plant flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear crops below ground during the waning moon. The planting and harvesting recommendations in The Old Farmer’s Almanac are based on the premise that the moon impacts water on earth, which we can see from tidal influences, and cycles of the moon will impact plant growth. However, many farmers over past centuries have followed it closely when planting crops, and some refer to it as “planting by the signs.” To me, it is an interesting part of our agrarian history in the US and provides a window into past understanding of the natural world. I don’t want to present The Old Farmer’s Almanac as scientifically proven methodologies for crop production, as it certainly is not. ![]() With its quirky ads and wide ranging subject matter, there is usually something for everyone. The annual publication, which is one of the longest running periodicals in North America, has provided readers with advice on everything from when to plant or harvest crops, to long-term weather forecasting, to other predictions on social trends. ![]() It has been providing readers with farming recommendations since 1792. While the eclipse will have little effect on our plants, when I was considering the impact of celestial events on plants, one interesting bit of folklore and tradition came to mind: The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Although some studies did find a measurable reduction in photosynthesis, it would be negligible in overall plant production and will not result in recognizable impacts. Overall, it appears there is no major impact to plants. It was interesting to see that some folks around the globe have researched plant and animal response during an eclipse. Is there anything observable I should watch for? Although the eclipse occurs over several hours, total darkness only occurs for a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, in our area we will only be able to view a partial eclipse, which is still fascinating, but does not carry the life-changing impact that many experience from a total eclipse.Īs I was preparing to view the eclipse, I began to consider the potential impact the eclipse may have on plants. The eclipse will occur on Monday, August 21, and will only be viewable in “totality” within a narrow band of approximately 70 miles that extends across the US from Oregon to South Carolina. This weekend, I will be traveling to southern Illinois for the experience of a lifetime-a total solar eclipse.

![]() Hanging upside down and inverting are said to decompress the joints, which can compress over time due to gravity and age. A 2019 study observed that aerial athletes have exceptional flexibility, balance, and strength ( 2). Improved flexibility, stability, and balance.SummaryĪerial yoga combines aerial arts with yogic philosophy and postures.Ī combination of the arts and athletics, aerial yoga offers several physical and psychological benefits: Today, aerial yoga studios and aerial yoga-trained teachers can be found around the globe. The yoga hammock - which is one long piece of fabric - and the style name “aerial yoga” started appearing around 2011. The first yoga swing, a collection of silk harnesses connected to handles and foot holdings, was purportedly created in the U.K. They were often made solely of ropes and would be padded with yoga mats or blankets.Īntigravity yoga, as it was originally called, began to gain traction in the late 1990s. The original swings were not like the colorful silk hammocks we see today. In addition to using the blocks, straps, blankets, and rope walls you may see at many studios, Iyengar would hang his students from the ceiling in yoga swings ( 1). Iyengar (1918–2014), who developed the Iyengar type of yoga. The practice of yoga with props is largely credited to B.K.S. But, Stewart says, “the aerial fabric essentially brings the floor up to them.” The history of aerial yoga It can also reduce the load on wrists and knees, which can sometimes limit mobility in a floor-based practice.”įor people with knee issues, getting to the floor can be challenging. Jo Stewart, the co-owner of Garden of Yoga, a Melbourne-based studio offering a wide range of aerial yoga classes, is a huge proponent of using the aerial silks in a more therapeutic way.Īs she says, “the versatility and support of the fabric allow people to access new movements. While many aerial yoga classes have an acrobatic element, a growing number of classes and teachers are also using the aerial silks much more therapeutically. The silks and ropes can also be helpful for balance. Hanging fully or suspending individual body parts is believed to create traction and open your body more gently and intuitively than when you’re on the floor. You can be fully supported by the silks - even lying down entirely, like in a hammock - or wrap the silks around particular body parts, keeping other parts on the floor. Silk fabrics and/or ropes are hung from above to aid practitioners in forming shapes. Aerial yoga combines traditional asana (the physical postures of yoga) and yoga philosophies with the aerial arts. ![]() Plus blow outs from the stoma sack that weren't disinfected or cleaned extremely well. though when Dad had chemo & radiation that ultimately murdered him and I wasn't there to clean the eaves troughs, vacuum and maintain the dehumidifier., the basement started growing things. I'm still struggling with the library of mine and not throwing out since what's left didn't have mildew or ? growths on them. Keep going until you have 3-4 inches of knotting done. Make sure you're making TWO knots on each strand. Once you've knotted all the way across to the right and reached the last strand of floss/yarn, begin again using the first strand on the left. ![]() Make another knot by tying the first strand around the second strand again - just repeat what you did before!Ĭontinue moving across to the right, using the first strand to create two knots on each strand of floss/yarn in the bracelet. Pull until you meet resistance, but not any harder! This will create a small knot on on the second strand. Now hold the second strand taut, and pull the first strand up and towards the large knot. It is important you knot OVER the second strand, it'll give it the right look. Take the first strand, and pass it over the second strand, and then behind as shown in the photo. You'll be knotting it around the other strands of floss/yarn to achieve this. The strand farthest to the left is going to create your first row. Once they're in order, grab the first two strands. This will determine the order of the color of your rows.

A great reminder of how fun it was to be a kid. All look great and are a fun summer project. That’s three bracelet options with different levels of difficulty to try. Once you jog your memory it comes back pretty quick. Wrap one colour around your finger, make sure it’s the middle of the string Pull the second colour underneath, also make sure it’s in the middle Take the right black string and put it over the orange string on the right and under the orange string on the left Take the end of the black string on the left and pull it over the orange string on the left and under the orange string on the right Gently pull it off of your finger and tighten the strings(this may take a couple tries) This is what it looks like after a while You are folding over the orange pieces in opposite directions Then folding the black pieces over and under in opposite directions Once you have this set up you can tighten and do it againĪdmittedly this one took me a couple tries to really get down. Overall once you have the first knot you are just going over under for this one. I used two pieces of double arm span for this. the beginning of this one is a bit rough but once you got it started, it’s just as repetitive as the others. This is the one you were probably thinking about when you read Gimp Bracelets. Make a purple loop, pull it through the pink Tighten the pink loop Create a pink loop Pull the pink loop through the purple tighten the purple loop From there all you have to do is continuously pull alternating loops through. Grab a colour and create a loop, take the other colour and wrap it around, then create a loop and pull that through. ![]() Cut two pieces around the length of your arm span. This is a little trickier but not by much. For it to look good keep the strings tight This type of bracelet is the easiest, just weave around the two short pieces. The two short pieces are going to stay as they are, the long piece you will weave through. You’ll need three pieces, two a bit longer than the length you want for the bracelet and the third piece should be twice as long as the other two pieces. This bracelet is the easiest, it’s just a weave in and out. The most important thing to remember for all of them is to keep the lace from twisting. To get started I have basic instructions for three options. The $2 pack made a lot of bracelets and the plastic doesn’t rip so it’s very easy to restart if there’s any mistakes. I loved making bracelets as a kid and think it’s worth revisiting, especially with how little it costs. I found a pack at Dollarama for $2 and felt it was worth a trip down memory lane. This time I thought I would do a bit of a 90s throwback and switch it up with some plastic lace. ![]() Last year I did a post on making friendship bracelets.

Founded by Robert Ballard, discoverer of the sunken R.M.S. ![]() That’s where the Nautilus’ mission comes in. ( Watch: "Dumbo" and other deep-sea oddities found.) Deep respect ![]() The Davidson Seamount was added to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2009 after ecological surveys, spearheaded by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), characterized the inactive volcano as an “undersea oasis.” King says the seamount boasts large coral forests, vast sponge fields, and a myriad of unidentified benthic species. “There were 10-foot-tall pink bubblegum corals and sponges big enough to walk into,” King says. In addition to spotting the charming cephalopod, the crew discovered fields of corals and sponges that King says “looked like they came right out of a Dr. The goal of Tuesday’s dive was to survey a completely unexplored rocky outcropping to the southeast of the seamount. King says the seamount is teeming with life, but what kinds of life remains a mystery. From base to crest, the seamount measures 7,480 feet tall, yet its summit is still 4,101 feet below the sea surface. The Davidson Seamount is one of the largest in U.S. The ROV and her crew had traveled 80 miles off the coast of Monterey, California, to see what natural treasures are hidden within the boundaries of the Davidson Seamount. The Nautilus had bigger figurative fish to fry. “This is the stuff we’re passionate about!” Sunken treasureĪs delighted as the crew was to see this dumbo, time was tight, so they had to move on. King says his team can’t help but “geek out” when it comes across such charismatic fauna. And based on the candid reactions of his colleagues, which can be heard in the video, he isn’t the only one. “I think they are the cutest things in the world,” King says. As an alternative defense, some have tentacles lined with sharp spines. But unlike other octopuses, dumbos don’t produce ink. Like all octopuses, they also have the ability to change their skin color at will. Although most species of dumbo measure between 8 and 12 inches long, some can reach upwards of 6 feet in length. There are more than a dozen species of dumbo octopus, and they come in many different shapes and sizes. Dumbos are also able to crawl across the seafloor using their tentacles. Contracting this webbing can give these cephalopods a quick burst of speed, which comes in handy when evading agile predators such as tunas and sharks. Its eight legs are connected by a web of skin, not unlike an umbrella. However, this isn’t the dumbo’s only means of propulsion. Like the animated elephant the species is named after, the dumbo octopus flies through the water by flapping a set of two ear-like fins on the sides of its body. The above octopus seen in the Bonin Islands near Japan in 2008. Octopuses are masters at flying under the radar, changing their coloration and texture to match their surroundings in seconds. This is where they lay their eggs and hunt for prey such as crustaceans, bivalves, and worms.

Scientists aboard the E/V Nautilus were exploring the Davidson Seamount, an inactive undersea volcano off the coast of California, when the spectral octopus greeted their submersible.
