Folds of Communication
". A folded leaf is a paper-fold, typically with two or more such leaves so as to form a book, often with just one side printed. "
A folded leaf is a paper-fold, typically with 2 or more such leaves so as to form a book. They may have just one side printed. The word 'fold' comes from the Latin word fundus which means bottom and can also mean earth or land. In biology the term refers to skin folds of an invertebrate like the skin of an insect that can fold up for protection and/or storage purposes.

"The green and white decussate fern fronds are folded in alternating planes about 90 degrees apart in the bud."
"Leaf folding also has economic importance: it increases the amount of tobacco that can fit in a cigarette filter or paper envelope. Cigarette paper is made of a fluted tube that has been cut into several connected sections, so the cigarette remains smooth. The innermost tubes are very narrow and are folded so that their width is comparable to the outer tubes. Insurance companies make use of this principle by folding the green sheets in an accordion pattern before inserting them into envelopes."
Folded leaflets can have 2 or more such folds and they may be printed on one or both sides. They are commonly done as full colour leaflets with multiple folds. The word 'fold' comes from the Latin word fundus which means bottom and can also mean earth or land. In biology the term refers to skin folds of an invertebrate like the skin of an insect that can fold up for protection and/or storage purposes.
"In English folded leaflets are called 'flyers'. The word is derived from a play on words: 'fly' as in 'flyer' and also in 'travel' for a person "flying" down the flyer. Flyers are generally sold by street-corner salesmen, who are called "flyers". They often have a large poster displaying their product facing outwards from the paper, and small printed letters or images on each side of the poster (usually advertising some other product) facing into, so the back of each flyer is nearly blank.

Folded leaflets are often folded in half along the length or width, giving a fold line that runs along each fold at parallels sets of parallel crease lines.
Air pollution problems stem from a number of sources. Some of these environmental contaminants are absorbed into the air and then settle out, where they remain for years or even centuries before being recycled back into the environment. Other airborne contaminants can be transported great distances from their point of origin and deposit them (or deposit dioxins) in remote locations, such as mountaintops, oceans, and Arctic regions. The emitted pollutants can also have a substantial effect on regional climate where they travel initially by air, or later by water or ice flows.
Jellyfish are bioluminescent animals that emit light as a means of communicating with other sea creatures. The green variety of jellyfish emit light from their yellow-green stomachs. The light is consistent with the jellyfish's velocity and direction, which permit other sea creatures to judge their proximity. The more the bioluminescent oscillates, the closer it is to the other sea creature. In addition, jellyfish can control their bioluminescent rhythmicity.
In biology and ecology, predator–prey interactions (or carnivore–plant interactions) are ecological interactions where one organism, known as the predator, kills and eats another organism called the prey or herbivore for sustenance (food). The other main classifications for these interactions are scavenger, parasite and parasitoid.
Predation is a natural part of all healthy ecosystems. Folding paper is a craft that requires the use of tools. The tools used to fold paper are often made from a variety of different materials. Some tools can be harmful to the environment if they are not disposed of properly or if they are improperly used. Traditional origami does not require any tools, and this contributes to its popularity in green crafting circles. However, there are some modern origami techniques that do require the use of certain specialized tools to make the model; this might be troublesome for some people concerned with environmental issues such as global warming.
In biology and ecology, sexual selection is the process by which individual traits become more common in a population because they give an organism an advantage during mating. The most noticeable trait that is often selected for during this process is the ability to attract a mate. Males will look for mates based on their reproductive value, or how well they stack up to other males. During mating, males compete with one another for the attention of females. As such, many traits that benefit males in this competition can be selected for if there are multiple benefits existing at the same time.
