On 27 july 2025 I commented on a strange 'feather' that had occurred on my computer screen. Today I looked closer at it and found that it seemed to 'catch up' in its curved form some mechanical errors on the screen - small bubbles and scratches which must be due to long use and maybe temperature. Could be the 'feather' also could be due to such phenomena - as appears also from the fact that it seems to have changed somewhat since I took the photo of it in late july. I now took a photo of it again during booting when the screen is dark:

There is a 'Feder Blue Tablong' in TEQ #252 and some more feathers in TEQ #649

Then I looked up the news and saw that there had been an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 in Turkey yesterday, at 16:53:47.8 UTC (which, by the way, was after I had published this page yesterday). On background of these data of 8-9 may 2023, wherefrom it seems that the tragic earthquakes of Turkey 2023 had interpreted in its placenames my poem 'Seele, du wartetest' from my 'SNEEFT COEIL' with great precision, I now wondered if there were the same phenomenon again and looked up the main quake from yesterday on the map. It is on this location, told the coordinates 39.278N 28.068E of the website for Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. I found - with the help from this Google translator page - that the quake this time seemed in the placenames around the location to tell of my computer screen with the snowflake-like feather and the dark bubbles:

However, having found this with much interest, I thought that I should check, just in case, if the coordinates maybe were not very exact so I looked up also this turkish seismic website (for the earthquake department at the Disaster and emergency management presidency of the turkish Ministry of Interior) which gives the coordinates with somewhat higher precision - it is here given as 39.2461 N 28.0697 E which is a little different from the 39.278N 28.068E of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre - some 6,5 km further south. This page of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul puts the epicenter at 39.2403 N 28.0587 E which is yet another half of a kilometre further south - nearly 7 km south that means. However, the Helmholz centre for geosciences which I reach from the page of the Kövesligethy Radó Seismological Observatory in Hungary tells approximately the same location for the epicenter as the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, so I dont know. If the real epicentre is a few kilometres south, that should be telling that the quake is probably not a joke from somebody who wanted my screen to look very magical. It probably isnt anyhow, I would suppose.
