What is the story of Daphne and Apollo?
In the story, Apollo makes fun of Cupid and he shoots Apollo and Daphne (nymph) with arrows. Apollo gets struck with an arrow that makes him eternally fall in love with the nymph, Daphne. Daphne gets struck with an arrow that makes her hate the thought of love, so she will never get married. Apollo chases her day after day, until one day he couldn't bear it any longer. He chased her far into the woods. He begged her to stop for fear that she might fall and be hurt. She ran out of breath and could run no longer. She prayed to her father, Peneus, and he changed her into a laurel tree. This is why Apollo's sign in a woven laurel crown (woven from Daphne's tree) and why the laurel symbol was used to fight the Romans.
What is the candle brand that burns the fastest?
The 'wick' not the wax is what makes one candle burn faster than the other. Most people want long lasting wicks for their candles so get a good quality one if you are making candles. If you are buying candles cheap ones are OK if you burn a fair amount of them. If you want a candle that is fairly large and want it to last so you can relight it then buy a good candle with a good wick. You can tell if the wick is good if it's not frayed at the top and the wick is tightly woven.
Who was Apollo?
The Titan goddess Leto, daughter of Koios and Phoebe, sister of Asteria, mother of Apollo and Artemis by Zeus.
Who made better lenses for the microscopes?
During the 1st century AD (year 100), glass had been invented and the Romans were looking through the glass and testing it. They experimented with different shapes of clear glass and one of their samples was thick in the middle and thin on the edges. They discovered that if you held one of these "lenses" over an object, the object would look larger. Someone also discovered that you can focus the rays of the sun with one of these special "glasses" and start a fire. These early lenses were called magnifiers or burning glasses. The word lens by the way, is derived from the Latin word lentil, as they were named because they resembled the shape of a lentil bean (look up lens in a dictionary). These lenses were not used much until the end of the 13th century when spectacle makers were producing lenses to be worn as glasses. The early simple "microscopes" which were really only magnifying glasses had one power, usually about 6X - 10X . One thing that was very common and interesting to look at was fleas and other tiny insects. These early magnifiers were hence called "flea glasses". Sometime about the year 1590, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery. The object near the end of the tube appeared to be greatly enlarged, much larger than any simple magnifying glass could achieve by itself! They had just invented the compound microscope (which is a microscope that uses two or more lenses). Galileo heard of their experiments and started experimenting on his own. He described the principles of lenses and light rays and improved both the microscope and telescope. He added a focusing device to his microscope and of course went on to explore the heavens with his telescopes. Anthony Leeuwenhoek of Holland became very interested in lenses while working with magnifying glasses in a dry goods store. He used the magnifying glass to count threads in woven cloth. He became so interested that he learned how to make lenses. By grinding and polishing, he was able to make small lenses with great curvatures. These rounder lenses produced greater magnification, and his microscopes were able to magnify up to 270X! Anthony Leeuwenhoek became more involved in science and with his new improved microscope was able to see things that no man had ever seen before. He saw bacteria, yeast, blood cells and many tiny animals swimming about in a drop of water. From his great contributions, many discoveries and research papers, Anthony Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) has since been called the "Father of Microscopy". Robert Hooke, an Englishman (who is sometimes called the "English Father of Microscopy"), also spent much of his life working with microscopes and improved their design and capabilities. Little was done to improve the microscope until the middle of the 19th century when great strides were made and quality instruments like today's microscope emerged. Companies in Germany like Zeiss and an American company founded by Charles Spencer began producing fine optical instruments. Today, there are no microscope manufacturers in the US and most of the microscopes come from Germany, Japan and China. Toy plastic microscopes should be avoided as they do not achieved the level of quality of the basic instruments with metal frames and glass lenses. Because of foreign production, quality microscopes have become affordable for all. Zaccharias Janssen, the inventor of the microscope would marvel at the quality of even the most basic microscopes found in schools today.
What belts are in tires?
There are steel and fabric belts woven inside the casing and tread. These make the tire stiffer and hold traction better.
What does tapestry mean?
Woven heavy fabric/cloth displaying a design. Strings of yarns are either handwoven or machine woven (jacquard loom) bringing together a desired design. Similar to embroidery yet different in that embroidery is actually sewing a design on top of a piece of fabric, where as with tapestry weaving, the design is created as the yarns are interwoven and becomes one continuous piece. If you look at a woven throw blanket and see the design, you will see that all strings of yarn forming the design.
