The future of fashion is spiders

If you’ve ever looked at a spiderweb, it’s easy to see that spiders have some serious weaving skills. But what’s less obvious is that spider silk, which makes up those webs, is one of the most impressive materials known to man. 

It’s five times stronger than steel, more elastic than rubber bands, and softer than wool. 

If scientists could harness this material, imagine the things it could be used for: bulletproof clothing; biodegradable water bottles; waterproof bags; and flexible bridge suspension ropes. 

Here’s the problem: It’s not easy to get large quantities of the material from actual spiders. So, for years, materials scientists have been studying spider silk to see how it might be copied.

Enter Bolt Threads. The company, founded by three scientists from UCSF and UC Berkeley, discovered a technique that makes mass production of spider silk feasible.

The researchers inserted genes into yeast, which then produces a spider silk-like protein as it ferments. Through a proprietary system, the silk is spun into solid yarn.

The fibers, which are much finer than natural materials like cotton and stronger than nylon, could lend clothes the best qualities of both natural and artificial fibers: they would be soft and light, while durable enough to toss in the wash repeatedly. Imagine a fabric that is tough, durable, lightweight, and petroleum-free.

And not only can they make spider silk, they can customize it. Spider silk could improve the performance of everything from parachutes and climbing ropes to fishing nets and surgical sutures.

Him or Bellerin is a win for us I reckon.

Latest rumours claim that Liverpool FC have signed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal on a pre-contract agreement but there is no news on a potential fee of yet. There had been numerous reports circling for days linking the Reds with a £35m move for the winger/midfielder and it looks as if they could have hit the nail on the head after Graeme Kelly tweeted yesterday morning “Oxlade Chamberlain lads, feel bad saying it, been told today it’s done. Got no fee info like.”

Would you lot be happy with the Ox as a signing?

Well said 👍🏻👊🏻🍻

OMJOVI!

So the other night my son Fbooked me the link to this video with the comment “this makes me uncomfortable.” He often teases me about all things Jovi so I didn’t take it too seriously until I watched the video and I knew exactly what he meant. It was clear from the first few moments of the band destroying the song that Jon was in a horrible position. Sit and try and act as if what was happening wasn’t his biggest nightmare or get up and try to salvage the situation. It really was a no win situation no matter what he did as the arrangement was just so goddamn awful. Then, he gets the backlash for his less than eager performance. Well duh. He had already, as admitted by the vocalist “graciously declined” singing with the band. Yet there she was sticking the microphone in his face. More than one article has cited that she was surprised that he got up after declining their invitation. Surprised? Really? You were butchering his song and effectively making him appear to be a dick for not wanting to get up and become part of your tacky “wedding singer performance.” And a reminder to those people acting as if he should just love getting up whenever and wherever he is and leading an impromptu sing a long. This is so wrong.

In this case he was supposed to be a guest. Put yourself in his position. When I go to weddings I don’t expect people to put me in a room with the kids as a babysitter because I’m so good with kids so shouldn’t Jon deserve the same respect? Horrific. To make it even better today the media jumped all over it and of course to try and make news out of nothing and cause Jon further discomfort over the matter, had to make a huge thing out of Richie’s performance at a nephew’s wedding. To compare these two performances and name one the victor is just what I would expect from a classy media source like TMZ. Well done TMZ. Kind of a no brainer that a performance where you choose to perform your song the way it’s supposed to be performed is going to come out better than when you’re ambushed and forced to try and save your song from a hack destroying it. Ok. I’m done. I think… LOL.

Brilliant! Love this band for ever
