Bruce Junfan Lee (November 27, 1940 July 20, 1973) was a Chinese American martial artist and martial arts actor who is widely regarded as one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century. Lee's movies, especially his performance in the Hollywood-produced Enter the Dragon, elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity, paving the way for future martial artists and martial arts actors such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chuck Norris. Bruce Lee sparked the first major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West. The direction and tone of Bruce Lee's movies have forever changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and China, and the rest of the world.

Over the weekend, the New York Times ran a blood pressure raising article about hundreds of District Attorneys offices that allow debt collectors to use their stationery to chase down folks who write bad checks.
Why does anyone give a damn about prosecutors who help businesses to bully people into ponying up cash under threat of prosecution, before a lawyer ever looks over the case? Well, for starters, the DAs get a little somethin'-somethin' from the deal, too….

I normally use a Canon DSLR but am now looking for a lightweight camera for use on longer walks which is still capable of producing good quality landscape images. I have used an Olympus E-420 with its lightweight 14-42mm kit lens but have been disappointed with the results, which lack sharpness. Upgrading to a higher quality lens would increase the weight significantly.
I am wondering what quality is achievable with compact or hybrid cameras for landscapes, and am considering the Canon G11, Panasonic LX3, Leica D-Lux 4 or the Panasonic hybrids. Can anyone offer any advice?

Editorial: Seeking ideas on school safety
Gov. Pat McCrory's school safety initiative didn't receive a lot of fanfare when he announced it last week. But that may be because it's designed to find out what school systems are already doing — or would like to do — rather than mandate solutions that may not be feasible or cost effective for all local school systems.
"We're not here to tell schools and communities what to do," Department of Public Safety Secretary Kieran Shanahan said at the announcement of the N.C. Center for Safer Schools. "We want to work with schools, communities and families on an individual basis to meet their localized needs."
There's been no shortage of localized responses in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings. Several supposed answers to school violence have been proposed, from arming teachers and school administrators to strengthening school mental-health resources. Many school districts have already taken steps to beef up security and emergency response procedures. The Rowan-Salisbury System, for instance, recently held two forums for parents, school officials and law-enforcement representatives to discuss safety issues. RSS, like other schools, is planning to put resource officers in all middle schools and increase front-office personnel. Those might seem like obvious moves. But during a recent school system forum on student safety, Sheriff Kevin Auten described another improvement — simplifying school lockdown codes — that other systems might want to emulate. Down the road, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg system is exploring whether additional video surveillance at campuses can help improve safety. Those are the kinds of ideas that illustrate McCrory's point about creating a clearinghouse to gather practicable solutions and share them statewide.
This approach to school safety goes beyond preventing attacks like those at Newtown, Columbine or Jonesboro, Ark. The reality is that students are far more likely to encounter other threats such as bullying or inappropriate use of social media. Parents are concerned about those issues, and the safety initiative needs to consider those areas, too.
In the coming weeks, the center will kick off with a series of forums around the state, designed to gather input from different communities. This bottom-up approach is far preferable to a one-size-fits-all legislative decree. Local school systems can develop their own solutions while also learning from strategies that have proved successful elsewhere.

Despite hopeful news from a 2010 Lancet study that maternal deaths have fallen by more than 35 percent in the past 30 years, the number of maternal deaths is still too high. In 2008, 342,900 women died from complications in pregnancy or during childbirth; 80 percent were from 21 developing countries. Many of those deaths could have been prevented with proper obstetric care.
Another challenge facing the global women's movement is that in many parts of the world, women's bodies and their sexuality is denied, hidden and controlled by men, governments and religious institutions. Many countries have recently introduced laws restricting women's control over their bodies, including anti-abortion and discriminatory laws governing women's sexual preferences.
Our Accomplishments
Over 24 years, the Global Fund for Women has
- Supported advocacy for women's reproductive rights in 94 countries, including successful efforts to legalize abortion in Mexico City and Colombia.
- Invested in the first "out" lesbian groups in several countries, including China, Croatia, India, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mexico, Slovenia, Thailand, and Turkey.
- Sustained hundreds of lesbian rights organizations, including those operating in at least 10 nations that criminalize homosexuality.
- Chinese Lala Alliance, China
- Fly!, Center for Right to Health, Tanzania

Imagine a world where all women could make decisions over their own bodies as fully empowered participants in societies. Women would have the right to bodily integrity and access to quality health services—free of discrimination, coercion and violence. At the Global Fund for Women, we believe that a woman has the undeniable right to make decisions over her body about her body, including the number and spacing of her children or to interrupt a pregnancy. Global Fund supports women's groups in 174 countries carry out this vision to advance women's health, sexual preferences and reproductive rights.
Our Grantmaking
Global Fund provides grants to courageous, determined women's rights activists working daily to preserve and expand women's rights to health, and the freedom to fully express their sexual and reproductive choices. Our grantee partners often put their own lives at risk by pushing against governments and religious institutions in their efforts to reach the most vulnerable and marginalized populations. In their work with adolescent girls, rural women, indigenous women, sex workers, HIV-positive women, and lesbians and transgender individuals, our grantee partners are fostering a cultural and political landscape in which girls and women can make informed choices about their sexuality, reproductive capacity and health.
Global Fund takes a holistic approach in our grantmaking by prioritizing two broad themes: advancing women's health and ensuring women's sexual and reproductive rights.
Global Fund grantees Advance Women's Health by ensuring that women have access to quality health care at all stages of their lives. Here are some of the ways they do this »
- Offer women regular check-ups and screening by gynecologists, and are often the only ones in their villages running reproductive health clinics.
- Provide and advocate for maternal health through pre- and post-natal care, nutrition, safe birthing and access to midwives.
- Advocate for the primary health of their children and the prevention of early childhood marriage.
- Seek greater understanding of the impact of environmental degradation, contamination, and climate change on women's health.
- Ensure that women living with HIV/AIDS have rights, as do their survivors and those who care for them. Women's groups work tirelessly to ensure women living with HIV/AIDS have access to treatment, counseling, and life-saving medication.
- Engage at the policy level, working to ensure governments prioritize funding comprehensive health services for women and to reform the health industry to be more gender-inclusive and promoting greater investments into women's health research and services in national budgets. They advocate for parental rights, such as maternity and paternity leave, nursing rooms and regulations to protect the rights of pregnant women and working mothers.

Researcher Michael Twiner and his team have made an innovative discovery regarding blue-green algae.
February 16, 2011
Dearborn, Mich./February 16, 2011 University of Michigan-Dearborn researcher Michael Twiner, assistant professor of biology, and a team of environmental researchers have made an innovative discovery regarding blue-green algae. The team found that the algae might produce an estrogen-like compound in the environment, which disrupts reproductive hormones and could be harmful to fish, other aquatic life, and human health.
Using funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) Ecology of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB), researchers compared groups of larval zebrafish exposed to Microcystis cells with those exposed to just the well-studied toxin they produce and found that only the fish in contact with the blue-green algal cells tested positive for a well-studied estrogenic biomarker. This led them to conclude the algal blooms were producing a previously unrecognized substance, which is an estrogen-like compound that acts as an endocrine disruptor.
We know that industrial activities have released estrogenic-type compounds into the environmental in the past, but now there appears to be a new biological source that has never been observed before. It seems for the first time we have seen an indication that algae may be producing environmental estrogens, or as we have termed them, phycoestrogens meaning algal-derived estrogens, said Twiner.
The research colleagues noted that harmful blooms of toxin-producing algae occur in waters throughout the world and are a growing health and environmental concern with possible human health effects include skin rashes, fever and liver damage.
Dense accumulations or blooms of Microcystis are nearly annual events in many of Michigans lakes and water reservoirs, including Lake Erie. Our laboratory findings that suggest the presence of an estrogenic compound during these bloom events certainly warrant subsequent studies and possibly more vigilant monitoring procedures, said Twiner.
The research is published in the American Chemical Society's journal, Environmental Science & Technology in an article entitled "Global Gene Expression Profiling in Larval Zebrafish Exposed to Microcystin-LR and Microcystis Reveals Endocrine Disrupting Effects of Cyanobacteria, available at http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/es103538b.
The research group was led by Theodore Henry, a adjunct professor for UT Knoxville's Center for Environmental Biotechnology and faculty at the University of Plymouth and in addition to Twiner included Steven Wilhelm, professor of microbiology at UT Knoxville; Emily Rogers, graduate student at UT Knoxville's Center for Environmental Biotechnology and of the Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries; Julia Gouffon of UT Knoxville's Affymetrix Core Facility; Jackson McPherson of UT Knoxville's Center for Environmental Biotechnology; Gary Sayler, distinguished professor of microbiology at UT Knoxville; and Gregory Boyer of State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
This was truly an outstanding group of multi-disciplinary scientists with broad expertise that were brought together to approach a dynamic issue. Everyone had a significant role in this project and to be able to identify something so novel is a testament to the team, said Twiner.
NOAA is a federal agency focused on the condition of the oceans and the atmosphere. NOAA's mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine resources.

Igus Panel Mounting Bearings
igubal® clip-type spherical bearing ECLM
- Very easy mounting by clip-on in the plate
- No additional axial locking necessary
- Extremely narrow installation space: Space-saving, thin-walled design
- Maintenance-free iglidur® J spherical balls
The application of spherical bearings is as a rule linked with high bearing weights, difficult installation and high costs. Most need maintenance on a long term, and the bearings are corrosion-resistant only in special versions. Often the roller or plain bearings are excessively stressed by edge load and prematurely give out, or the bearing must be extensively readjusted, counterbored or converted in order to compensate for misalignments.
- igubal® spherical bearings are free of these disadvantages and by its design open up completely new potentials:
- igubal® spherical bearings are easy to handle.
- igubal® spherical bearings are extraordinarily low priced.
- igubal® spherical bearings are very light.
- igubal® spherical bearings are very rugged.
The simple handling enables a manifold application of igubal® spherical bearings. You can use them wherever the self-aligning bearings offer constructive advantages or assist in simplifying the installation.
Maintenance-free igubal® spherical bearings have a tolerance in the inner diameter, according to E10. The shaft should have a tolerance between h6 and h9. The bearing clearance compensates for bearing expansions during heating.
igubal® spherical bearings are press-fitted in an H7 bore and axially locked. A precise alignment of the bearing housing is not required as the spherical bearing automatically compensates for error.
Dimensions igubal® spherical bearings are manufactured according to DIN ISO 12240 in the dimensional series K and E.
When to use it?
- When you have high axial and radial loads
- For the easiest assembly
- When there are extremely small installation spaces
- When chemical resistance is required
- When a low-cost alternative is desired
- When dirt-resistant bearings are needed
- When misalignments should be compensated
- When components secured on both sides are desired
When not to use?
- above 80°C temperatures
- For dimensions above 30 mm
- When rotation speeds in excess of 0,5 m/s should be implemented

These days I generally build sites rather than design them, but here you can see some of the sites I've designed (and built!) over the last few years.
Lori wanted to refresh her site a bit – she wanted to move the blog from the homepage to a page of its own, and a new header and homepage design.
April wanted a new header and homepage for her site.
She was already using a theme she liked – Fresh News – so we just added some custom styles and images to give it a new look.
Wedding photographer Lesley Anne had a site she couldn't edit, and she first approached me to convert her old site to WordPress.
Once that was done, she decided it would be nice to give it a makeover too – and then she had a rather splendid idea to offer her brides a site of their own on her webspace…
Christine's Abbey of the Arts website needed a new look. It had also outgrown its old page structure.
So we freshened up the design, and created a new structure with more space for new growth.
"WOW…WOW…WOW!!! 110% spot on!"
The Guild had an old website which they wanted to overhaul, expand, and freshen up – but it had a custom-developed members directory which they wanted to keep.
The solution – a new WordPress installation, with members' area, forum, and shiny new design, right alongside the old directory (which we gave a makeover so it didn't feel left out.)
"I'm SO IN LOVE WITH you for making it so simple. You are hands down the best designer/ programmer I've ever worked with!"
Jen Louden is a bestselling author, coach and speaker who provides women with the information, inspiration, and tools to create lives they love.
The Comfort Cafe and Life Spa is her latest venture – a membership site where people can find rest and inspiration. Members can download recordings, take part in the month's activities, or just hang out on the forums with other members.
Jen wanted the site to feel like a very cozy place to hang out, and we had tons of fun designing it.
"I have been working on a very new project for my company. It is a very new field for me – blogs, twitter, facebook and so on, but I have been guided through all the jargon and technicalities in the safe hands of Emma and Kate who have infinite patience. Their breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious – so much so that I have commissioned them for two further projects. Praise indeed!!!"
On larger projects I often collaborate with Emma Newman, copywriter extraordinaire. The Organisers are one such collaboration. The Prom Organiser, Wedding Organizer, and Gay Wedding Organizer, are sites offering tips and advice to UK students who are organising a prom and to couples planning their weddings.
"Fabulous! I love this website so much! Thank you so much for your detailed care."
Equipoise is the site of Lavinia Magliocco, a wonderful coach who sees exercise as spiritual practice too. She combines her expertise in Pilates, QiGong, yoga and ballet to create a unique program for each client to treat their heart as well as their body.
The new site is built with WordPress, so that she can manage and develop it herself, and includes a blog to help her express her unique attitude to exercise. The design uses a range of photos and quotes from great teachers to set the tone.
James Thirtle is a hypnotherapist, NLP coach and Emotional Intelligence expert.
Being quite tech savvy, he wanted to maintain his hypnotherapy site using html and css, so he asked me for a custom design and toolbox of styles that he could use. I'm pleased to say, though, that I've now sold him on the wonder that is WordPress, and have just built a second, sister site for him – his new Emotional Intelligence site and blog – using WordPress!
Visit the Insight Clinical Hypnosis site
Damian Lobato is a dancer and teacher of Argentine tango.
Damian's a fan of the movies of De Niro and Pacino, of gothic novels such as Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde and of artists such as Rothko and Munch. He wanted something visually rich, layered, and dark – something more like a painting than a conventional website. So I had a lot of fun layering his studio shots over stock photography of abandoned buildings, dirty alleys, dark rooms, and the like to create something which both had the feel he wanted and showed him in action.
eTrainingShop is a site selling e-shop software for training companies, allowing them to sell their courses online. The software is designed to be as easy to use as possible, an out-of-the-box solution.
The site, therefore, needed to be just as user-friendly as the product it promotes. Bright, clean colours, plenty of white space, and a few cheerful icons create a friendly, airy design which works with clear information architecture to make it easy to find your way around.
Simple and Secure is a self-contained mini-site selling just one product, a next-generation, out-of-the-box home security solution. The site needed to be modern yet warm and reassuring, and just as simple and easy to use as the product.
After developing their new e-commerce site, Wharton wanted to refresh the look of their existing brochure site, without abandoning its established identity. The easiest way to do this was to replace the home page animation, thus updating the look without interfering with the header and footer branding and menus. The old home page had an animation based around a single product shot, over a textured background. This time we decided to use the lifestyle shots from the latest collection, on a plain background, which would be more in keeping with the latest brochures and other print materials.
I've worked several times with AdWords specialists 1UpSearch, creating designs for their clients' landing pages. This is a landing page belonging to 1UpSearch themselves. It is entirely self-contained, but remains in keeping with the design of their main site.
Tigsy Brown is a collection of china gifts for children by designer Elaine Brown. We used elements from Elaine's original sketches throughout the site to create a design which captured the feel of her unique work.
This high end designer jeweller had an established identity expressed in their existing marketing materials. They wanted an e-commerce site with a look that complemented rather than copied their existing brochure site.
EFI wanted to revise their site. The old site had a 'blue sky' theme, so I based the new design around this. However, instead of a plain blue sky, for the banner I chose blue sky over a field with a tree. This created a little extra visual interest, and added a second colour into the palette to lift and freshen the page a little.
Interior designer Elizabeth Stewart had a site which was cluttered and dated – the last thing any interior designer wants! A new design put her work centre stage with plenty of photos and careful colour choices on each page selected to match current trends.
Trust Networks wanted to freshen up their site. The new look keeps their existing colour scheme and logo, but has a more contemporary style, and makes use of teaser boxes and colour coding to help make the content easy to digest.
Designer jeweller Jill Wilkinson was unhappy with her old e-commerce site, which had a very low conversion rate. We created an entirely new site for her, with custom design to match her individual style and custom functionality for improved user experience.
Katie Bowes is a wandering Pilates instructor, currently settled in Chicago.
She wanted a super-simple site where she could provide information about herself and her classes. She also wanted a clean, peaceful design to reflect the healing, harmonious nature of her work. And she loves blue!
The Covent Garden Minuet Company perform 18th century dance in full period costume, and are a fun-loving bunch of people who are basically up for anything!
We had loads of fun finding ways to bring a sense of what they do to their website. The design is full of 18th century detail, of course, but we also took some of their drama-lectures on 18th century life and created articles and photo stories, scattered contemporary quotes about the minuet on their information pages, and added some video. We hosted the video on YouTube, which has brought them quite a few visitors who saw the videos there and followed the links back.
Hackney Tudors is a project for school children exploring the history of the Hackney area. The site allows the children to explore virtual 'Tudor Hackney' and offers information for teachers. To accomodate a limited budget, the site is being built in stages; this is the first stage.

Trauma Programing
Kenny's Side Show | January 4, 2013
Active shooter drills are taking place all over the country. A local high school just had one for the cameras.
'Consultants' are telling businesses that lack of training, including drills, leaves one wide open to devastating lawsuits in case of an event. An industry has been created and since police cannot possibly be involved in all the 'needed' drills, actors are available for these services.
Perhaps most people would consider these drills to be prudent exercises in an insane world.
Perhaps in a world of false flags, staged psyop events and a lying media one might call these drills trauma programing or repetitive conditioning or maybe even ritual abuse.
There's nothing like a live production to drive home fear, authoritarianism and submission – hidden agendas in the drill scenarios. The young impressible captive participants are especially vulnerable.
"(the) primary tool in reinforcing authoritarianism is preaching fear." — John Dean
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." — H.L. Mencken

The End of Jewishness?
A Review of Schlomo Sand's How I Stopped Being a Jew by Kevin Barrett
What does it mean to be a Jew?
Unproblematically, it can mean professing the Jewish religion and participating in its rites, symbols, and discourses. In this sense, being a Jew simply means adhering to Judaism, just as being a Muslim or Christian or Buddhist means adhering to Islam, Christianity, or Buddhism.
Yet there are many self-styled Jews who do not profess the religion of Judaism – or any religion. What can this possibly mean? … continue

How To Raise Godly Children
Children are truly a blessing from God. Unfortunately, they don't come with a set of instructions. There are many places we can look to for advice on parenting, but none better than the Word of God. Jesus is the greatest home builder, and Satan is the greatest home wrecker. We need to follow God's instructions and build our homes His way.

This fixture is solid, as opposed to the cheap, stamped-out sheet metal on some fixtures. Though it is only 28 watts, it lights up the entire bathroom with a bright, even light. It replaces a fixture that had three 60-watt incandescent bulbs and this is much brighter.
It was simple to install, especially because the mounting plate allows the fixture to be supported while the wire connection are being made. I was able to install it with no extra hands helping me.
By:Marc , Homeowner (Alamo, CA)
It fits right into my transitional bathroom, classic & modern. It was very easy to install.

bathroom remodel and we needed a vanity light. wanted something low profile but bright enough to light the room. this light met all our criteria and was well priced to boot. very nice.
By:Matt W. , Homeowner (los angeles)
Bought the light for it's clean lines, simple shape, and quality expressed in other posts. The quality is good; solid metal components make up the body and end caps. Installation was easy, although make sure your J box is a small 2x3 because the fixture fits tight to the edges. I had to trim off part of the J box and mud over the edge a bit to fully conceal the box. Overall the light is great, our one complaint is it takes about 2 seconds for it to come on, which while common with fluorescent lights does feel like a second to long when you are used to incandescent. We have the 48" version so shorter versions might have shorter start-up time.
By:Scott M. , Homeowner (Portland, Or)
We have purchased 7 of these lights, of various sizes, they are all built very well and provide excellent lighting for our modern bathroom design. Would recommend buying these for the cost conscious, modern buyer!
By:Chirag P. , Homeowner (Ohio)
buying vanity light, i ran into a typical bathroom light fixture problem—the plastic look. but at least this light is slim so the negative is not too outstanding. i have purchased another bathroom light before and had to return it due to defect issue and also the plastic look is just too unbearable (i am still waiting for refund from Ylighting). when i received this vanity light, i was not disappointed but i have to say, do pay attention to the junction box area, it is bigger than the diagram shown, it is pretty eye-catching and you it is not easy to recess.
By:Danceperfectionist , Homeowner (New York City)
This has not yet been installed, but I am very happy with the appearance: simple and great quality. My electrician was suprised to find a bathroom fixture using this time of bulb and assured me it would be more than ample light for its location.
By:Kim M. , Homeowner (maine)
This has not been installed yet (new build) but is just what I was looking for. It is simple and great quality. My electrician was suprised to see a residential fixture using this type of bulb and assured me that though the bulb is so small, would produce more than ample light. I'm very happy with this choice.
By:Kim M. , Homeowner (Maine)
This is a nice lighting fixture, albeit pricey. You should keep in mind that it is meant to be put up a slight angle from the wall (i.e. if horizontal, it slants down and if vertical, it slants in). This is not a big issues but if you are putting them up vertically, then you can see 3 exposed screwes on the outer casing. The specs have a very very small image highlighting this.
By:Jav , Homeowner (NY)
This is a very stylish and bright light for modern applications. I like the chrome version better than the satin nickel finish.
By:Armin B. , Homeowner (San Luis Obispo, CA)
By:Lori N. , Architect (Laguna Beach, CA, USA)
This light is great, has a slim profile and is made with high quality materials. The T5 bulbs it uses is not as standard but they are more efficient and better performing fluorescent lights. This isn't the usual flickering, "is this light really on" type of fluorescent lights. For our smallish bathroom, it provides more than enough light. As another reviewer mentioned, one con if you're mounting them vertically is that you see 3 exposed screws on the metal base. It isn't too noticeable as they are still flush but if you're observant, you'll see them. I was bummed that the ballasts don't recommend putting the higher output T5 bulbs into them. It's probably a fire hazard as they draw more wattage than it is rated for. But as mentioned previously, the amount of light is more than sufficient unless your bathroom is huge. Note that this light has the bulb at an angle from the base. Oxygen Lighting seems to have a new model where it is aligned which would probably have been better for mounting vertically. Sadly YLighting did not carry that light at the time and we needed the lights right away for our home remodel. I did not find any other online retailer that carried that light either and the manufacturer, Oxygen Lighting was impossible to find someone to talk to.
By:Erwin T. , Homeowner (Sunnyvale, CA)
Used this above a vanity mirror in a bathroom. Nice quality and easy to install. Good contemporary solution for a bathroom
By:H.K. , Homeowner (Westchester county, NY)
The fit and finish of this fixture is reasonable but not at the highest level. The mfr was responsive with a replacement ballast when one was required. Removing the diffuser and installing the bulb is a bit of a tricky operation.
By:David O. , Architect (Brooklyn, NY)
This fixutre is a great simple, nicely detailed flourscent tube fixture for either a semi-concealed condition, or a modern installation.
YLighting was great, we had an emergency situation, YLighitng staff found the various sizes we needed and helped us to expidiate the shipping.
By:Commercial A. , Architect (Washington DC)
Looks nice. I am not too fond of the T5 color, or lack of it, which is white. Otherwise a decent fixture.
By:Ming L. , Architect (91006)
It's relatively hard to find vertical lights of varying lengths that fit the size of your medicine cabinets, are damp rated, well designed, and reasonably priced. These Zenith lights are some that fit the bill in these respects. I'm pleased with the purchase. You will be too.

By:Patrick C. , Architect (Arlington, VA)
Then light looks great! Crisp and somple.
By:H.B. , Designer (Huntingfton Beach, CA)
This light is simple and well conceived. Its construction (made in China) is of reasonably good quality, though the piece I installed had a slack end that needed some attention. The tolerance for wiring behind the electric box is minimal, leaving no room to cover a rough opening larger than the box itself. It is necessary to allow sufficient clearance between the fixture and any horizontal surface above - shelf, ceiling - to get good purchase on a screw driver in order to secure the fixture cover to its base. It is also a bit of a challenge to find a 34" 21w T5 florescent tube for the 36" fixture, especially in a warm color. Once installed, the light looks good.
By:Design S. , Architect (northeast)
We were hesitant about ordering a fluorescent tube for our contemporary powder room but couldn't be more pleased with the clean, simple look. Great product.
By:Diane H. , Homeowner (Eliot, Maine)
I am very happy with this fixture. It looks great above the mirror and gives out a nice light. Would definitely recommend it.
By:Lis G. , Homeowner (Reno, NV)
The Zenith Vanity Light was ordered to create a lit 3-Way Mirror for a Men's Clothing Store. The fixture has clean modern lines that blend well w/ the new store decor. Dimensionally, it works very well as vertical lighting on either side of a mirror. Very little space lost for the fixture. Frosted lense adds a nice finish.
By:Brady D. , Designer
Gives out great light! Well constructed....good quality.
By:Anna R. , Homeowner (SANTA ANA, CA)
Really nice fixture. Modern and clean and provides really wonderfully clear light. Only concern is that the long version (48") seems to sag a bit on the ends making the light appear slightly out of balance.
By:Eric K. , Homeowner (Massachusetts)
The finish is very nice
By:Mate S. , Renter (San Jose, CA, USA)
Product is solid, sleek and well built.
It works well if u r looking for a minimalist light.
Only concern is if u like flourescent as its abit of a whiter light.

I was hoping this would be a simple solution to lighting around a powder room mirror, and it could work; the only issue is the angle of the mount causes it to become a feature instead of being hidden. I needed something completely simple and streamlined.
By:Matt , Homeowner (Atlanta)
This light would have worked if the base had been straight, not at an angle. You don't really see that in the pictures, but it is very much a part of the light when you see it in place.

The light mounts about 50% off the vertical center in the side profile. There are better photo if you goto Oxygen's website.
I searched long and hard for the perfect linear fixture. The option by Artemide isn't available. There's another option by Aamsco called, Alinea. It can be ordered with an LED that's more expensive than the fixture. Build LLC does a good recap here: http://blog.buildllc.com/2008/02/lighting/. Unfortunately, the Alinea takes their proprietary bulb. Don't want that hassle.
I'm fussy/critical of build quality and this fixture exceeds my expectation. The diffuser is a nice touch. This will be easy to clean.

Dear Ylighting:
I realize it may not be possible to make/take detailed photographs of. Your entire catalog, but with the popularity of this product, you and your customers will benefit. This was not the only contender in my search for a simple, linear light. I took the "risk" by reading this fixture's glowing reviews. I'm happy with my purchase, but seriously, please get bigger, more detailed photos.
By:Amy S.
Looked for a simple modern light fixture with no ornamentation. This was perfect and fit well in a small bathroom. The fixture was supposed to have been vertical on either side of the mirror, but there wasn't enough room. Horizontally above the mirror works fine and gives off plenty of light.
By:Doug , Homeowner (California)
Excellent product, many options, and prompt service (fast delivery!)
By:Laurie S. , Homeowner
We used this fixture in a small contemporary powder room. We wanted something that would not compete with the wall of custom tile. It looks awesome!
By:RepeatCustomer , Homeowner (Eliot, Maine)
THis light is really clean looking and throws off perfect bathroom light, excellent for applying makeup and really seeing without shadow.
Only con is it takes a few seconds for it to come on but that is because it is florescent. The light it omits is soft an not harsh.
By:Anonymous , Homeowner (Brooklyn, NY )
Nice modern looking vanity light. Good light.
By:Harry E. , Homeowner (Boston MA)
This light is great for what it is, which is a super-bright florescent. Its super bright florescence isn't great for the bathroom, which is where I installed it, and now very rarely use it. I'm not sure where this type of light would work well, thus the 3 star review.
When it isn't turned on, it is aesthetically pleasing, though.
By:Brynn H. , Homeowner (Montpelier, VT)
We were looking for something simple but elegant and this looks great
By:Benedetta , Homeowner (Jersey City)
Recommended this light by my designer and it perfectly suits my need for a long vanity light.
By:Christopher D. , Homeowner (New York)
This is a good, simple, quality product that provides plenty of white light. Two words of caution: end caps may not align perfectly with horizontal tube, and as others have mentioned careful finish work is required to conceal the wire mounting box from the back cover plate.
By:Teiki Design , Architect (Jericho, Vermont, USA)

Product FeaturesSold by the 6 meter reel, foot and sample kit.
The Current Control LED strip light series from EnvironmentalLights is the pinnacle of LED strip quality. Each segment has individual current control to ensure the LEDs get the current they need, no matter where they are on the strip. This ensures that the lights are just as bright at 21 volts as 24 volts, and it provides uniform brightness along the strip, and uniform color for RGB and RGA strips. This allows you to run up to 6 meters of single row 5050 (50mm x 50mm) LEDs or 5 meters of double row LEDs. Although the extra Current Control circuitry costs a bit more, you might save more than that in labor and wiring costs. The pros have been asking us for this, and it's already selling very well. Available in a host of colors, RGB, RGA and waterproof versions, as well.
Current Control strip works with standard PWM dimmers and controllers and voltage varying dimming units we sell. As indicated earlier, dimming range when using voltage varying will not begin until voltage drops to 21 volts, so there is a range shift, versus traditional resistor-only strip. For that reason, we do not recommend dimming Current Control using supplies that operate by reducing voltage to reduce current.
Easy to install:
- Non-waterproof version has high-adhesion stickyback. Just peel off the wax paper and stick it to any clean, dry substrate.
- Waterproof version comes with 20 rubber tie downs if you buy the complete reel, plus a glue tube, plus 4 caps for the ends. You get those accessories with full-reel purchases only. Or you can buy the special foam tape and glue we list as companion parts.
- Daylight White. (6500° Kelvin.)
- IP67 waterproof. Available in waterproof and non-waterproof.
- 3018 mW/meter = 960 lumens/meter.
- 24 volts DC.
- 70 watts (3.6 watts/foot = 11.7 watts/meter.)
- Length: 19.7 ft = 6 m.
- Width: 0.57 in = 14.5 mm.
- Height: 0.09 in = 2.2 mm.
- LED spacing: 0.66 in = 16.7 mm.
- Cuttable in segments of 3 LED nodes. Cutting increment: 3.94 in = 100 mm.
- UL, RoHS.
- 50,000 hours expected lifetime.
- Warranty: 3 years limited.
- Easy-to-use ribbon to cable connectors, ribbon to ribbon connectors and ribbon to ribbon jumpers are available for the single row version, but not the double row version, because it uses a lot of current. Wires are soldered on both ends of the strip for your convenience.
- No Ultra-Violet emissions (except for the special UV version), so it won't harm your art or documents.
- We use high quality LEDs for maximum color vibrancy, longevity and a well-balanced 'all-on' white. We pay more for our LED components, and you'll benefit from the difference. This is not a commodity product. Quality matters, and the materials, controls, connections and tech support we provide will make your project successful.
- Cut LED strip lighting is not returnable.
- We provide detailed installation instructions, design criteria and technical support upon request.
ApplicationsGreat for:
- Restaurants, lounges, casinos, homes and retail stores;
- Decorative and accent lighting;
- Downlighting and uplighting features;
- Edge lighting glass or acrylic plates;
- Lighting art or accent pieces (no UV emissions);
- Egress lighting;
- Entertainment centers and home theaters;
- Trade show exhibits;

Universities exist for a simple yet profound reason: to create new knowledge through research and discovery and to pass on knowledge to the next generation. It is also the duty of every university to prepare its students to become engaged and contributing citizens. In the 21st century, this task takes on new meaning.
The great compression of our world—a consequence of the spread of technology and information, the interdependence of economies, the transnational nature of major human challenges, and an increasing embrace of diversity—will only accelerate. We already see evidence of the emergence of a set of global "idea capitals," magnets for talents and creativity. To help you become citizens of this world, you will have one of the greatest opportunities available to an NYU undergraduate—the chance to pursue international study.
No university has a greater global presence. NYU leads all universities in students studying abroad; over 40 percent of our undergraduates now study abroad, and each year the number increases. In September 2010, NYU opened NYU Abu Dhabi, an audacious step in higher education: the first comprehensive liberal arts and science campus to be operated abroad by a major American research university, offering a complete NYU education to undergraduates outside of New York City and from around the world and creating another "portal campus" to gain access to this dynamic, global network university.
Just as NYU's founders chose in 1831 to move education out of the ivy tower to be "in and of the city," NYU is now "in and of the world" in a way that defines and exemplifies something that has not existed before: a global network university.
In 2013, the first 300 students (half from China and half from the rest of the world) matriculated on NYU's newest degree-granting campus, in Shanghai. Students at NYU Shanghai have a unique opportunity to reflect upon the role that great cities play in human progress, and upon the interdependent relationship between China and the rest of the world.
Our newest international study center recently opened in Washington, DC--the 11th of our international academic centers, which also include Accra; Berlin; Buenos Aires; Florence; London; Madrid; Paris; Prague; Sydney; and Tel Aviv. Even our curriculum is changing to reflect both the desire and the need for our students not only to attain an education but also to become world citizens: two new globally oriented undergraduate majors are being offered this year as NYU more fully integrates international study into its academic programs.
Under the umbrella of Arts and Science, the Global Liberal Studies Program merges our premier liberal studies curriculum with experiential learning and an intensive intellectual experience abroad. The Business and Political Economy Program at the Leonard N. Stern School of Business combines course work in business, politics, and economics with integrated study at four global locations—New York, London, Shanghai, and Washington, DC.
