Rain soaks through the tents, and there is a lack of electricity and hot water in the showers, even in winter.

It eventually soaks through and while you'll stay mostly dry, it will get extremely heavy, and you'll eventually start to collect dew on the inside.

The two most important of these were threads that could transmit small amounts of electricity, made by dipping strings of cotton in conductive ink; and threads that would carry liquid through the tissue, created by giving the threads a hydrophilic coating that increased their capillary action (that's the same force that's in action when liquid soaks through a paper towel).

Chogajiboong (a straw roof) is made with byeotjib (rice straw), eulalia or reed, but generally made with byeotjib. Byeotjib protects residents from the sun in summer and keeps them warm in winter, because it is empty inside. Moreover, rain falls down well and hardly soaks through a roof because it has a relatively smooth surface. So, a thick roof is not needed.

Skinner explained to Bart that those t-shirts resulted in his capture by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War where, in his prisoner-of- war camp he was forced to subsist on a fish and vegetable stew and that he came close to madness trying to find its recipe at home. The new dress code demoralizes the students until a rainstorm soaks through the uniforms, causing the grey color to melt and reveal tie-dye colors that make the children resume rebelling against authority.

His first poem was published in 1982. But it was in 1986 with You, my hollyhock, written in part as a tribute to his deceased wife who reminded him of hollyhocks, where the poet’s grief at the sudden loss of his love and the intense longing for the happiness he shared with his wife, made him famous. When he turns away “leaving a song by her grave," she follows him home “in the weeping of nameless insects;” when he heads home, "leaving a tear drop upon her grave,” she becomes "the rain that soaks through the core of [his] body." In order to overcome his anguish and despair, the poet embraces the world with a new perspective.

During the following years they spread this new leisure activity across Sweden, by installing minigolf courses in public parks and other suitable locations. Swedish minigolf courses typically had a rectangular wooden frame surrounding the playing area made of tennis field sandThe history of minigolf (while the American manufacturers used newly developed and patented felt as the surface of their minigolf courses). Felt did not become popular as a surface material in Sweden until in the mid-1960s—but since then it has become practically the only surface material used in Scandinavia and Britain, due to its favorable playing qualities in wet weather. (Minigolf courses with a felt surface can be played in rainy weather, because water soaks through the felt into the ground.

Paintings and the role of varnish, which might protect the white lead yet itself darken, aside—according to Michelle Facini, a paper conservator at the National Gallery of Art, lead carbonate to lead sulfide is indeed what happens to some lead chalks/paints in drawings and watercolors and other works done on paper and unvarnished. Varnish is meant to be removable from an oil painting, to strip off when it dirties or cracks; but on paper it soaks through and becomes inseparable from the paper fibers, ruinous as it ages. This is why works on paper are never, or should never, be varnished. In any event, white lead has been mostly supplanted in artistic use by titanium white, which has much higher tinting strength than white lead.

" As to the difficulties with the leather valve in extremes of weather, heat, frost and heavy rain, > The same remedies apply to all three, keeping the leather of the valve oiled > and varnished, and rendering it impervious to the water, which otherwise > soaks through it in wet weather, or which freezes it in cold, rendering it > too stiff to shut down; and the same precaution prevents the leather being > dried up and shrivelled by the heat; for this, and not the melting of the > composition, is the principal inconvenience resulting from heat. A little > water spread on the valve from a tank in the piston carriage has also been > found to be useful in very dry weather, showing that the dryness, and not > the heat, was the cause of the leakage. But there was a much more serious problem: "A considerable extent of longitudinal valve failed by the tearing of the leather at the joints between the plates. The leather first partially cracked at these points, which caused a considerable leakage, particularly in dry weather.
