Mary Somerville, In 1834 she became the first person to be described in print as a 'scientist'.
Born in 1780, was a Scottish scientist, writer, and polymath. She studied mathematics and astronomy. In 1835 she was elected together with Caroline Herschel as the first female Honorary Members of the Royal Astronomical Society. When John Stuart Mill, the philosopher and economist, organised a massive petition to Parliament to give women the right to vote, he had Somerville put her signature first on the petition.

Sustainable Development

The importance of global sustainability awakens with Agenda 2030 goals in mind.

Agenda 2023 refers to a set of initiatives and goals aimed at addressing global challenges and promoting sustainable development. While there is no single, universally recognized “Agenda 2023,” it often relates to the ongoing efforts stemming from the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established in 2015 under the broader framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This agenda emphasizes the need for collaborative action among nations to tackle issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation.

Grandma's Laundry Tricks:

Do not Brush, Rub or Scrub the printed fabrics too hard to avoid damage to print quality.
Wash with similar colours to avoid staining or tint.
Please do not overuse the centrifuge, it only wrinkles the fabric.
Please do not overuse the dryer or use extrem heat, this only tears the fibres apart.
A dehumidifier is a great invention to dry the fabrics and clothes.
Dry the fabrics outdoors, if possible, but not under direct sunlight.
Environmentally awareness and the durability of clothing go hand in hand.
Do You really need to use the fabric softener or is white vinegar good enough?
