Thumbholes, Function or Fashion? Versatile Small Details that Matter.
– MuskOx

Thumbholes, Thumb Holsters, or even Hobo Mitts as we’ve seen them referred to… whatever you choose to call them the question remains: function or fashion?

The Argument for Function

For many outdoor enthusiasts it is function. The obvious advantage of “thumb holes” or thumbholes on men’s clothing, like performance pullovers, sweatshirts and quarter zips, is keeping your sleeves firmly in place. I think we can all recall days in our youth of having half your sleeve crammed into your armpit as you mom or dad shoved you into your winter coat before rushing out the door. In addition to convenience many people select a garment with thumbholes for the added protection of potential exposed skin between a cuff edge and glove. It only takes one tumble down the ski slope to realize just how many places snow can end up given the opportunity.

Men’s clothing with thumbholes isn’t just for winter garments either. More and more summer-oriented performance & breathable clothing, especially those created with sun protection in mind, utilize the thumbhole. It is a great feature to keep your skin covered while still keeping your fingers free to drive the boat, walk the dog, or, let’s be honest, use your phone.

The Argument for Fashion

Like many modern fashion details, the origination is strictly functional but slowly creeps into the visual vocabulary of design. This is most apparent in historical military details. From bomber jackets to epaulets, the timeless and functional features continue to have lasting appeal. 

As we progress to an increasingly casual aesthetic it is only natural that the comfort and performance functionality of outdoor apparel become part of our everyday wardrobe. That is definitely a theme which we stand by when constructing MuskOx clothing. Thumbholes give you a modern and athletic look, ready for the elements. We all clearly know that looking well equipped and prepared will never go out of style. 

Looking for more of a professional vibe and thumbholes aren’t your thing? Pull your sleeves up to your wrist and let the function feature blend in — no one will notice. 

We’ve got you!

Why Do Some Hoodies Have Thumb Holes?

Many hoodies, sweaters, base layers, running tops and cycling tops feature thumb holes.   We have chosen to incorporate these into some of our leavers hoodies designs, because we think they’re great – an added bonus when you order a leavers hoodie! However, we’ve noticed that some people ask the question: “What are the thumb holes actually for?”

Reasons for hoodies with thumb holes

We know of several excellent reasons for thumb holes, including:

Warmth

There’s nothing more annoying on a cold morning than wrapping up warm only to get snow or even just cold air into your gloves or up your arm because your top has ridden up and the space in between your forearm and gloves has been exposed to the cold.  Thumb holes are an instant solution which prevent any gaps.

Many people remember making thumb holes in their own school jumpers or sweatshirts, usually because they’d worn thin with use but also because sleeves were pulled down over hands to keep them warm.  Readymade thumb holes are far neater than making your own!

Thumb holes also make it far easier to get dressed without your sleeves rolling up when you put another layer such as a coat, on top of a jumper or sweater.

Keeping cool

Wearing a hoodie or other top with thumb holes is a great alternative to using gloves – especially when you still want to protect your hands from the cold.  An excellent example is if you’re hiking up a mountain.  Going uphill can get hot and sweaty and it can be a drag to have to remove your coat and take a layer off.  In this instance, simply removing your gloves can have an excellent cooling effect on your body, whilst the main parts of your hands are still well protected from the elements.

The same goes for when you’re cycling.  Uphill in particular can be extremely hard work and instead of stopping and removing layers, a quick stop to remove your gloves can have an excellent effect without slowing you down for too long.

Fashion

It would be easy to assume that thumb holes are just a fashion feature and to some people, this is exactly the reason that they would choose a hoodie with thumb holes.

In fact, according to Nike’s president of distribution and merchandising, thumb holes in atop is actually perceived as a sign of high quality.

In an article by Business Insider, Jeanne Jackson commented on some of Nike’s ‘deep’ consumer analysis, saying: “We suddenly discovered in tops that if a top has a thumbhole in it, the consumer perceives it is a premium top.”

Astronauts find hole in the International Space Station, plug it with thumb

European Space Agency

You think you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today? Spare a thought for the crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

On Thursday morning, they woke up to the news that the station was slowly leaking air. Flight controllers had been monitoring the small drop in pressure overnight, deciding to let the crew sleep as the hole presented no danger.

The astronauts, commander Drew Feustel, flight engineers Ricky Arnold and Serena Auñón-Chancellor, Alexander Gerst, Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Prokopyev eventually located the source of the leak: The Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft. The spacecraft was attached to the Russian side of the station, and originally ferried the crew of Expedition 56 to the station back in June.

And while the hole posed no threat to the safety of the crew — it still had to be found and fixed.

Upon finding the source of the leak, a 2-millimeter (0.08-inch) hole in the orbital compartment of the Soyuz MS-09, astronaut Alexander Gerst from the European Space Agency plugged it with his thumb.

However, NASA ground control realized that wasn’t exactly ideal, according to the Telegraph, explaining that a thumb isn’t “the best remedy” for a hole in one of the most expensive, important pieces of space infrastructure.

Former ISS commander, Chris Hadfield, posted an image of a hole — not the hole — to Twitter Thursday.

As he explains, the thumb was only a temporary fix, with a short-term solution of epoxy and Kapton tape (a durable tape often used in space) sealing the hole while a long-term repair option was sought.

All systems have now been stabilized and Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, will commission analysis to determine the exact cause of the station’s tiny wound.

Gerst’s actions make one thing abundantly clear: If there’s a hole in your spaceship, a good rule of thumb when fixing it is to… well, use your thumb.

Update Aug 31, 5:30 a.m.: Clarified Commander Hadfield’s hole tweet

Proper Fitting Bowling Ball Thumb Hole

It is extremely important in good shotmaking to use a proper fitting bowling ball thumb hole.

Thumb holes which are either too loose or too tight and not shaped or contoured to form fit to your thumb will certainly invite errant deliveries.

It is the duty of the pro shop professional to custom fit your bowling ball to fit your hand. The thumb hole is as important, if not more important, than any gripping hole or the overall span and finger pitches of your ball.

It is surprising how many bowlers will use a ball with far too much looseness in the thumb hole and then squeeze the ball in order to not drop the ball before the right time for the release to happen.

Thumb holes can be too loose if they are not contoured to fit the shape of your thumb. Rarely are bowler’s thumbs perfectly round so it is necessary to shape a thumb hole to custom fit the thumb for drilling.

Oval type thumb drilling are a good way for the pro shop pro to begin. After the hole is drilled into the ball, the pro shop pro can then shape the hole to form fit your bowling thumb.

Not only is the top of the hole in need of contouring or beveling to round off the sharp edges, the interior of the thumb hole needs to be contoured evenly throughout the entire depth of the hole.

If the hole is tight halfway down the hole but loose and larger near or at the top of the ball, the hole will not properly fit your thumb and your release will suffer from consistency.

The flat portion of your thumb (top of the first knuckle joint to the back of the knuckle) is not as wide as the side to side portion. The hole must be contoured evenly throught the entire depth of the hole to ensure you do not have to squeeze the ball just to hold onto the ball.

A properly fitted thumb hole allows you to use a tighter fitting hole than a loose one and still get out of the ball cleanly and quickly during your release.

Avoid bending your knuckle down inside the hole but rather use equal gripping pressure on the length of your thumb behind the knuckle. If your hole fits properly, you can actually relax your thumb and use very little gripping pressure to hold the ball and make an effective release.

If you have questions about the fit of your thumb hole, get into the pro shop and have the professional examine your hole and your thumb to determine if any alterations to the thumb hole is needed.

A proper fitting bowling ball thumb hole is critical to consistent shotmaking and to good scoring.

Take time to make sure each bowling ball you own fits your thumb in the right way so when you make a switch to another ball during competition, it does not cause a loss in making good shots.

Thumb hole offset

It really is not about who is the best or smartest driller. It’s real simple and you don’t have to be a drilling expert to know.  If you start with the correct span and pitches and maintain the same span and pitches,  you can turn the thumbhole any way you want, but it is not offset.  It is more an issue of how you orient the layout on the ball. If you move the thumbhole closer to the middle finger or ringfinger, then you change the “correct span” to get the “offset” and arguably end up with a misfitted ball.

Also, it is fallacious to argue that because something was written a long time ago, it is incorrect. Point out what is incorrect about Taylor’s analysis. That would be helpful.

Based on my limited experience, I agree that changing the finger pitches changes the feel of the ball. Taylor recommends 0 pitch for the middle finger and 5/8th  right pitch for the ring finger which works fine for me. I prefer 3/8th forward pitch for both fingers because it give me a better feel and more lift.

New is not always better. Taylor’s book is the best written source that I have been able to find as a beginner. Of course, this forum is the best source for information overall and I appreciate the help that everyone has given me.

ccrider
BrunsRico designs drillings for the Pros on the Protour and regional champions….NOW.  He is really quite knowledgeable.

I’m a friend of Bill Taylors also and he is frankly a genius!  BUT his book was written a long ago as stated.

When drilling an offset thumb….most drillers move the middle finger up in order to compensate for what MR. Taylor stated…a shortened middle finger.

My experience and I have drilled at least these 3 options.

1.  Standard T grip
2.  Centerline transfer(CLT) which reorients the finger pitches down their natural line of pull.
3.  Thumb only offset.

While maintaining span integrity.

Is that all 3 versions FEEL different!

The point being made by many of the knowledgeable posters is that…..any ending set of spans and pitches can be put into a Tgrip.  I think they are right but I have not gone thru all the gyrations to prove it to myself!

REgards,

Diabetic foot syndrome, treatment and diagnostics – “Scandinavia” Kazan

Diabetic foot syndrome is a formidable complication associated with impaired blood glucose metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus, leading to dysfunction of the nerves, blood vessels, bones and soft tissues of the foot, which leads to the formation of wounds, cracks, ulcers, infections of bones and soft tissues and, as a result, gangrene of the foot and legs.

1. Causes of occurrence.

There are a number of reasons that, against the background of diabetes mellitus, lead to the development of diabetic foot syndrome:

Peripheral neuropathy – pathological changes in the nerves of the legs that occur under the toxic effects of glucose in the patient’s body. Sensitivity in the legs is impaired – pain, temperature, tactile. This leads to a change in gait, the appearance of injuries, calluses, cracks, and in the future to the formation of ulcers.

Diabetic angiopathy (circulatory disorders) – high blood glucose levels lead to changes in the wall of large and small vessels, the metabolism between the blood and the tissues of the foot is disrupted. Dry skin, cracks, and long-term non-healing wounds appear.

Infection – any wound, abrasion, bruise can provoke an infectious complication on the foot against the background of diabetes mellitus, which can lead to the formation of purulent ulcers, abscesses, phlegmon of the foot and gangrene.

Smoking is an inveterate habit that increases the risk of developing diabetic foot syndrome by several dozen times. Nicotine leads to impaired blood circulation and impaired innervation of the foot, and in combination with diabetes mellitus, the risk of amputation of the lower extremities increases.

2. Types of diabetic foot syndrome.

There are 4 forms of diabetic foot syndrome:

Neuropathic – when mainly the nerves of the legs are affected.

Ischemic – when there is a predominant lesion of small (microangiopathy) and large (macroangiopathy) vessels of the legs.

Mixed (neuroischemic) – both nerves and vessels of the legs are affected.

Musculoskeletal (osteoarthropathy) or Charcot’s foot – when the musculoskeletal structures of the foot are affected.

3. Risk of diabetic foot syndrome.

Ingrown toenail – Incorrect trimming causes the corners of the nail to sink into nearby tissues, causing pain and suppuration.

Darkening of the nail – the cause may be subungual hemorrhage, most often due to the pressure of tight shoes. Hemorrhage can cause suppuration if it does not go away on its own. In this case, you should stop wearing the shoes that caused the hemorrhage.

Fungal infection of nails – nails become thicker than usual, their color changes, transparency disappears. A thickened nail can press either on the adjacent toe, or, due to the pressure of the shoes under it, suppuration can also develop.

Calluses and corns – they also often develop hemorrhage and suppuration.

Skin cuts during nail clipping – occur due to a decrease in pain sensitivity, or lack of attention, which is often characteristic of older people with diabetes. An ulcer can easily form at the cut site. The wound must be washed with an antimicrobial agent and a sterile bandage applied.Try to cut your nails correctly – do not cut them at the root. If you have poor eyesight, it is better to ask relatives for help.

Cracked heels – formed most often when walking barefoot, or in shoes with an open heel against a background of dry skin. Cracks fester easily and can turn into diabetic ulcers. Creams and ointments containing urea (Balsamed, Callusan, Heel-cream, Diacrem, etc.) are the best to get rid of dry skin on the heels.

In addition, it is necessary to treat the heels with a pumice stone during washing, try to always wear shoes with a closed back.

Fungus of the skin of the foot – can lead to cracks in combination with dryness and flaking of the skin. The cracks can become inflamed and develop into a diabetic ulcer.

Deformities of the feet in the form of an enlarged thumb bone, hammer toes (the toe is bent at the first joint) – lead to the formation of calluses on the protruding parts. In this case, it is necessary to select and wear orthopedic shoes, insoles and other means that eliminate pressure on the skin.

4. Prevention of diabetic foot syndrome.

  • Seek medical attention if even minor inflammation occurs. Even a small amount of inflammation can lead to serious consequences.
  • Feet should be washed daily, wipe gently without rubbing. We must not forget about the interdigital spaces – they also need to be thoroughly rinsed and dried.
  • Examine feet every day for cuts, scrapes, blisters, cracks, or other damage through which infection can penetrate. The soles can be viewed with a mirror. In case of poor eyesight, it is best to ask a family member to do this.
  • Do not expose your feet to very low or very high temperatures. If your feet are cold, it is better to put on socks; you should not use heating pads. The water in the bathroom must first be checked with your hand and make sure that it is not too hot.
  • Inspect shoes daily to prevent blisters and other damage that can be caused by foreign objects in the shoe, wrinkled insole, torn lining, etc.p.
  • Change socks or stockings every day, wear only the right size, avoid tight elastic bands and darned socks.
  • Shoes should be as comfortable as possible, fit well on the foot, you cannot buy shoes that need to be worn out. In case of significant deformity of the feet, specially made orthopedic shoes will be required. Outdoor shoes should not be worn on bare feet, sandals or sandals with a strap between the toes are contraindicated. Do not walk barefoot, especially on hot surfaces.
  • In case of injuries, iodine, alcohol, “potassium permanganate”, “brilliant green” are contraindicated – they have tanning properties. It is better to treat abrasions, cuts with special means – miramistin, chlorhexidine, dioxidine, in extreme cases, with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and apply a sterile bandage.
  • Do not injure the skin of the legs. Do not use drugs and chemicals that soften calluses, remove calluses with a razor, scalpel and other cutting tools. Better to use a pumice stone or foot file.
  • Only trim nails straight without rounding the corners. Do not cut off thickened nails, file them. If your eyesight is poor, it is best to seek help from family members.
  • With dry skin, the legs should be lubricated daily with a fat cream, but the interdigital spaces should not be lubricated. You can also use creams containing urea.
  • Quitting smoking, smoking may increase the risk of amputation by 2.5 times.

5. How to avoid leg amputation in diabetes mellitus?

  • Visit a diabetic foot specialist at least once a year if diabetes was diagnosed more than 3-5 years ago (unless more frequent visits were recommended).
  • Come to the appointment if you experience injuries to the feet or any change in the side of the feet.
  • Show your feet to your endocrinologist or surgeon at every scheduled visit.

It must be remembered that diabetic foot syndrome is a formidable complication of the course of diabetes, which is easier to prevent than to cure!

In the “Scandinavia” (“Ava-Kazan”) clinic, you can undergo a program for the prevention of diabetic foot syndrome.

Together with you we will keep your feet healthy!

90,000 What if my sneakers are constantly rubbing from the inside?

08.08.2018

A list of factors that, both in aggregate and individually, lead to wiping of the shoe from the inside:

1. You do not wash your shoes from the inside, including the insole

2. You do not wash your feet well enough

3 You “forget” to put on clean socks, and sometimes you walk in dirty, or even go without socks at all, which is not at all hygienic

Bacteria that multiply as a result of sweating are the only cause of unpleasant smell.Bacteria simply “devour” your shoes from the inside, corroding the lining. And since the thumb, little toe and heel create the greatest load on the material when worn, this leads to such unpleasant consequences.

Of course, these are not the only reasons – non-standard growths, namely protruding bones, bumps on the toes, spurs on the heels – create unnecessary pressure on the shoe material, which the shoe manufacturer, of course, never foresees in advance.

Bone on the thumb

Bone on the little finger

Bone on the heel

anomalies “are successfully removed. But for those who, for some reason, do not undergo surgery, do not worry, there is a way out – natural suede.

Why natural suede? Quite simply – this is the most wear-resistant and long-lasting material for shoes. You need to be a creepy (oh) slob to manage to wipe natural suede from the inside to holes when wearing shoes.

Something like this looks like a piece of genuine leather (suede), which will become the inner patch for your sneakers.

The inner patch should be with rounded edges and with a “smooth transition” so that when you wear it you do not feel it, it does not squeeze your leg or rub it.

The patch is glued in the place you need. If the construction of the sneaker allows, then the patch is also stitched for greater durability, but this must be discussed with the master in advance so that you select the threads to match the upper material. After all, no one wants to spoil the appearance of shoes with multi-colored threads that stand out from the rest of the background.

Repairs to backdrops are done in much the same way. A natural suede insert is glued and sewn to the textile lining.

There is no need to hope that if all shoes are rubbed in the same place, then this will not happen in other new ones. Immediately after buying a new pair, go boldly to a normal workshop if you want your shoes to serve you for many years. This procedure does not cost a lot of money (about 10-15 BYN plus or minus, depending on the level of the workshop). And, of course, do not forget to properly and timely take care of your sneakers.

Long socks for you! 🙂

90,000 A hole in the sole of a shoe – how to seal it correctly: useful tips

The sole of boots, sneakers, model shoes and summer sandals takes on the main load, and therefore wears out, cracks and leaks over time.Taking your shoes to the workshop is the best way out of this situation: house renovation will not bring a long-term effect. A hole in the sole of a shoe: how to properly glue it at home. We share tips.

  • General recommendations first.
    1. Degrease the surface before starting repairs. Gasoline, acetone or degreasing solution, take whatever is on hand. Do not forget that the shoes need to be dried again afterwards.
    2. Select the load that you will use so that it does not deform the shoes.
    3. Apply glue to the sole and wait a couple of minutes. By the way, about glue, take a high-quality or special rubber, or polyurethane, or shoe. If nothing else, take the classic Moment.
    4. Work carefully: just remove the glue. Remember that all substances are toxic, if they get into the eyes or nose, rinse immediately with running water.
  • There are several ways to repair the sole, we will analyze each in detail.
    1. The sole is unstuck at the edge.Wash the sole, dry, degrease. Apply glue, wait a few minutes and then press down with a load.
    2. Crack in the sole is more difficult to seal. First clean and degrease the crack itself, then prepare the patch. It can be cut out of the bike tube. The patch also needs to be cleaned and degreased. Then bend the sole so that the crack opens and insert the prepared piece into the inside. Unfold the sole and place the shoes under the load. For a while, the sole will not get wet.
    3. Silicone glue-sealant will help to repair a leaky sole. Take out the insole from the inside of the shoe and fill the hole with glue. Then we put it under the load as much as it is written in the instructions.

If the soles of demi-season shoes are leaking, the repair will take a longer time. It’s all about the structure of the outsole. For autumn, spring and winter shoes, a structure resembling a honeycomb or a lattice is characteristic.

  1. First remove the insole. We clean and degrease all holes.
  2. We fill each with a sealant.
  3. Spread the new insoles with it, press down with a load for the time specified in the instructions.

Summer shoes, as a rule, have flat soles, so repairs are simple and do not require much effort.

  1. Buy a new rubber outsole.
  2. Cut the cotton template to size and iron it onto the soleplate.
  3. Stick on a new sole, press down with a load.

Sports shoes have a special shape of the sole: it goes slightly over the toe.

  1. When the sole is erased exactly in this place, then first you need to clean this place with sandpaper and degrease.
  2. Then cut out the patch. It is important that the material is of different thicknesses: we glue the thinner one to the sole, and the thicker one to the toe.
  3. We also sand the patch, grease it with glue and press it.
  4. Keep under load for at least 24 hours.

Home repairs will help the outsole last for a while, but don’t delay repairs in the workshop.

A hole in the finger dream book. Why dream of a hole in a finger dream book to see in a dream

A dreamed index finger in a raised position is a warning of a serious danger, which will surely turn into real if you do not heed this dream as a signal.

The situation can be aggravated by the fact that just at this time your enemies will try to trip you up.

You need to keep your emotions under control, not to waste your energy on trifles: you will need a lot of them to fight for your own place in the sun.

To see a broken finger – such a dream suggests that you cannot achieve what you want in any way, although you are already practically exhausted and have lost hope.

The dream suggests that this will soon pass, and after a short rest, you will get down to business again.

A bandaged finger portends a short-lived illness – yours or a loved one.

Do not panic ahead of time, because the matter will be limited to a slight indisposition without any complications.

A dreamed severed finger warns the dreamer that, due to a rude attitude towards people, he may lose the support of his loved ones.

Recently, you constantly offend loved ones who, regardless of their mood, always treat you with sincerity and friendliness.

Keep in mind that even iron patience breaks at some point.

If you burn your finger, it means that some difficult situation will develop around you, the way out of which will be all the more difficult, since you will have to look for it yourself.

Hairy fingers are windfall profits, perhaps an inheritance from a wealthy relative or a decent reward for a job.

Crooked fingers dream that your envious people sleep and see how to harm you.

With those people to whom you do not feel much trust, and even more so with those to whom you do not have it at all, the dream calls for maximum caution.

90,000 What could threaten an astronaut in outer space

Astronauts on the International Space Station have made an exit into open space to carry out repair work. And, although everything went according to plan and without incident, every time the members of the ISS crew leave the space of the station, they are in danger.

But what can happen to them in outer space?

1. The danger of sinking in space

A space suit can be compared to a small individual spacecraft. And, as with any ship, an accident can happen to it.

This was fully experienced by the Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano when, during his spacewalk in 2013, his helmet suddenly began to fill with water.

As it turned out later, the water came from the cooling system. And since in a state of weightlessness it does not flow down, water accumulated in the helmet, hitting the astronaut in the eyes, ears and nose.

Parmitano was forced to urgently return to the ISS so as not to choke

Colleagues were able to help Luca Parmitano only after he returned from outer space

“I headed towards the airlock , and the water continued to arrive – recalls the Italian astronaut. – She completely filled my eyes and nose. I could not see anything, hear nothing. I couldn’t breathe. When I tried to tell the ground that I was in trouble and I couldn’t find the entrance, they couldn’t hear me, and I couldn’t hear them. I felt completely isolated. And then, instead of dwelling on the problem and thinking that with the next breath I might choke, I began to look for a solution. ” parts that could damage the suit – and was safe.

The Italian astronaut is not the only one with spacesuit problems.

During a spacewalk in 2001, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield felt irritation in his left eye, which immediately began to water. Tears in weightlessness gathered in a bubble, which closed the right eye.

Chris practically went blind while in outer space, and even with a drill in his hands.

Fearing that the burning sensation could be caused by a toxic gas leak in the suit, the flight control center advised Chris to purge the system to get rid of the contamination. And although the survival instinct told the astronaut that it was not worth getting rid of air in space, he followed the advice, and this solved the problem.

Tears, meanwhile, washed away the irritant, Chris regained his sight, stopped bleeding off valuable oxygen and returned to the station.

As it turns out, the irritation was caused by a leak in a special blend to prevent fogging of the visor.

2. Danger of sailing away from station

In 1984, an American astronaut with a jetpack flew 100 meters from the station

Although no astronaut has yet been lost in space, Hadfield says that this is what he feared most of all – even more than being killed at the start or burned up when entering the dense layers of the atmosphere.

Everyone who goes into outer space is constantly tied to the ISS with a braided steel cable 26 meters long.

Astronauts usually work in teams of two. Until they left the airlock that separates the station from outer space, they are connected to each other.

The first astronaut to leave the station first ties his cable to the ISS hull, and then to his partner’s cable. The second astronaut then unfastens his cable from the anchorage in the airlock and joins his companion outside.

This minimizes the risk of detachment from the station. But what should an astronaut do if he nevertheless unexpectedly sets off on a free flight?

“We have jetpacks, you push the handle and a joystick appears from a small depression in front of you,” explains Hadfield.

The rope and knapsack are good, but the astronauts are trying not to break away from the surface of the station

However, in 1973, astronauts Pete Conrad and Joe Kerwin did not have such knapsacks. They were outside the Skylab space station and were trying to pry open a jammed solar panel when it unexpectedly unfolded, pushing them into space.

Fortunately, the cables did not burst, and the astronauts themselves did not lose their composure, and according to their report, they returned to the station in a cheerful mood.

3. Danger of boiling blood

Joseph Kittinger was one of the first to experience the consequences of depressurization at high altitude

The spacesuit in which astronauts go out into space is under pressure, and any puncture can be fatal.

In a vacuum, human flesh expands to twice its normal size. US Air Force pilot Joseph Kittinger, who made a long jump from the stratosphere in 1960, found this out on his own experience. During the jump, his right glove was depressurized, and his hand swelled greatly.

This did not prevent Kittinger from successfully completing the jump, and on the ground the hand returned to normal. However, he was very lucky: if his spacesuit or helmet could not have withstood, he would not have survived the pressure drop.

However, the main problem during depressurization can be caused by air loss. In this case, the astronaut will lose consciousness from oxygen deprivation within 15 seconds.

This is exactly what happened to one NASA tester who, during a test accident in Houston in 1966, found himself in conditions close to vacuum.

According to his own description, he felt saliva boil on his tongue, after which he lost consciousness.

In space, without the protection of a pressure suit, the liquid in the human body will begin to boil as the gases it contains expand.So if you don’t have time to experience the lack of oxygen, something else will kill you, and very quickly.

However, small holes in the suit do not mean imminent death.

A small cut in the glove forced astronaut Rick Mastraccio to urgently interrupt his work in outer space.

In 2007, the American astronaut Rick Mastraccio discovered a small cut near his thumb on the outer layer of his left glove.

“I can see the inner layer under the Vectran,” Mastraccio told MCC.“I don’t know where this hole came from.”

This incident was almost exactly the same as the incident that happened to another American astronaut, Robert Beamer, 8 months earlier. he most likely got it when he was transferring the equipment that arrived on the shuttle to the ISS

This spacewalk completed without problems, but if the cut were deeper and broke the seal, an emergency could have arisen.

The astronaut’s spacesuit consists of seven layers that protect it from micrometeorites. These tiny particles weigh no more than a gram, but their speed relative to the ISS can reach 36,200 km / h.

In this case, no spacesuit can protect you from larger objects. NASA is currently tracking more than 500,000 man-made debris in Earth’s orbit, from old spacecraft to parts that entered orbit during launches.

About 20 thous.of these objects the size of a large orange or larger.

4. Danger of overwork

Although the space suit weighs nothing in space, it does not make it less bulky

When American astronauts Scott Kelly and Chell Lindgren made their first excursion into space, they spent more than seven hours there lubricating a robotic arm, connecting cables and installing thermal protection on a light meter.

One of the reasons for the need for such a long stay in outer space is that, despite its weightlessness, the 160-kilogram suit remains bulky and not easy to work in it.

“If you poke your finger at a person wearing a NASA spacesuit, you will feel like you are pressing on a volleyball: this material has exactly the same stiffness,” Hadfield explains. “With every movement you have to overcome the same elastic resistance Therefore, you return from a space walk physically completely exhausted, sometimes with bloody calluses, and all because of the spacesuit, which is a complete torment to work in.

In addition, in zero gravity, astronauts cannot just stand still and do their job. If they try to turn the wrench, their body tries to rotate in the opposite direction. Therefore, they have to make extra efforts just to stay in place.

“Whatever you do in space, you have to spend twice as much effort, and this is another reason to go slow,” says Hadfield.

When people get tired, they make mistakes more often.If you stumble at home with a working drill in hand, you may end up in the hospital. But when you are in orbit at an altitude of 400 kilometers, you will not be able to call an ambulance.

5. Danger of unknown

It turned out to be easy for Alexei Leonov to go into outer space, but it was not very good to come back

Since the Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov was in In 1965 he made the first spacewalk, space walks became almost commonplace. But that first exit, although it lasted only 12 minutes, almost ended in tragedy.

Engineers did not take into account that Leonov’s spacesuit would increase in volume in a space vacuum. When the astronaut tried to return to his ship, he could not get through the hatch. As a result, he had to bleed air and partially reduce the pressure in the suit before he could squeeze in.

When in the same year Ed White became the first American to make a spacewalk, he could not have known about Leonov’s misadventures, then this kind of information was classified, and it became known about them much later.

Ed White also experienced not the most pleasant moments when the airlock of his ship refused to close

However, White had his own problems with the entrance hatch. When he returned to the ship, for some time he could not fix it in the closed position, and the fault was a defective spring.

If the astronaut had not been able to close the hatch, his Gemini IV spacecraft would not have returned to Earth.

In addition, Captain James McDivitt, who was inside the capsule, received instructions from Earth to cut White’s cable in case he ran out of oxygen or lost consciousness.

Since 1965, the list of surprises that can occur during a spacewalk has been noticeably reduced, but not completely exhausted.

“Astronauts try to get rid of their worries in advance,” Hadfield says.

We predict the fate of the holes on the socks. Don’t rush to sew up! | Your personal Healer

Any break in your clothes will tell you about upcoming events.Whether it’s a hole in a shirt, a split seam on a trousers or a jacket, or even a button that comes off.

Through minor troubles, if you can call them that, the big Universe is communicating with us. She gives us signs. It is important to see them.

Torn socks, both for men and women, can tell a lot. The main thing is to see it correctly and in time. Some of the holes should be sewn up right away, but with some it is better not to do this.

In any case, as already mentioned, gaps are signs.Take them as seriously as possible.

We will look at some types of toe holes.

1. Outsole

Outsole

Outsole

A frayed sole is a good sign. If the socks are frayed from the bottom, it means that luck literally “burns” your feet .

It is better not to sew such holes, but to put on socks at some important meetings or when you are going to do something important.

Wear these socks for as long as possible. After they come into a completely unusable form, they must be thrown out without erasing.

2. Hole on the thumb

Thumb

Thumb

You need to understand that in this case, if a hole is formed on the thumb, there is a difference, whose socks are men or women.

A hole in a man’s thumb indicates that such a person pursues several goals at once . And what now seems to be the main thing must be abandoned. The hole should be sewn up immediately.

If a woman’s socks are torn on her thumb, this means that such a woman most of all wants to achieve career growth .Even if you are a housewife, you shouldn’t ignore it.

Women’s socks

Women’s socks

Good luck is walking around somewhere, which will bring you satisfaction and income.

3. Hole in the heel

Heel

Heel

The hole in the heel, both for men and women, indicates that you recently “outplayed” and abandoned some kind of agreement , that is, “passed back”.

The hole shows that you did it in vain. It is worth going back and completing the previously conceived.It will definitely bring you success.

No need to wear socks with a hole. And to sew, if possible, you need only after the business to which you returned is done. Even if you intend to throw away these socks, throw them away sewn up.

Bonus

Socks of different colors

Different socks

Different socks

Different socks speak not only of the absent-mindedness of the wearer.
