At several more research stations near the wellhead, the WeatherBird II finds the ocean floor coated in similar muck. The closer the boat gets to the wellhead, the more black matter there is in the sediment. And Hollander is disturbed. The abnormal layer of sediment is up to five times thicker than it was when he collected samples here in August. The oil's presence on the ocean floor didn't diminish with time; it grew. And, he points out, "the layer is distributed very widely," radiating far out from the wellhead.
But what concerns him even more are the thick black lines. "That black horizon doesn't happen," he says. "It's consistent with a snuff-out." Healthy sea-floor mud is porous and well oxygenated, with little critters constantly burrowing holes from the surface sand to the deeper mud, in the same way that worms are constantly turning over and oxygenating soil in our gardens. But the dark black lines in the sediment seemed to be acting as a sealant, preventing that flow of life. "Something caused an environmental and community change," Hollander explains. It could have been the sheer volume of matter falling to the bottom, triggering a suffocation effect, or perhaps it was "a toxic response" to oil and dispersants.
Whatever it was, Hollander isn't the only one observing the change. While we are at sea, Samantha Joye, an oceanographer at the University of Georgia, is leading a team of scientists on a monthlong cruise. When she gets back she reports seeing a remarkably similar puddinglike layer of sediment. And in trips to the ocean floor in a submersible, she saw dead crustaceans in the sediment and tube worms that had been "decimated." Ian MacDonald was one of the scientists on the trip. "There were miles of dead worms," he told me. "There was a zone of acute impact of at least eighty square miles. I saw dead sea fans, injured sea fans, brittle stars entangled in its branches. A very large area was severely impacted." More warning signs of a bottom-up disaster.
A week after Hollander returned from the cruise, Unified Area Command came out with its good news report on the state of the spill. Of thousands of water samples taken since August, the report stated, less than 1 percent met EPA definitions of toxicity. It also claimed that the deepwater sediment is largely free from BP's oil, except within about two miles of the wellhead. That certainly came as news to Hollander, who at that time was running tests of oiled sediment collected thirty nautical miles from the wellhead, in an area largely overlooked by the government scientists. Also, the government scientists measured only absolute concentrations of oil and dispersants in the water and sediment before declaring them healthy. The kinds of tests John Paul conducted on the toxicity of that water to microorganisms are simply absent.
Coast Guard Rear Adm. Paul Zukunft, whose name is on the cover of the report, told me of the omission, "That really is a limitation under the Clean Water Act and my authorities as the federal on-scene coordinator." When it comes to oil, "it's my job to remove it" — not to assess its impact on the broader ecosystem. He pointed me to the NOAA-led National Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process, which is gathering much more sensitive scientific data to help it put a dollar amount on the overall impact of the spill and seek damages from BP and other responsible parties.
Unlike the individual and class-action lawsuits BP is rushing to settle, it will be years before a settlement is reached. That means more time to wait and see how fish stocks are affected by egg and larvae exposure. And according to Robert Haddad, who heads the NRDA process for NOAA, any settlement will have "reopener clauses" that allow the government to reopen the case should new impacts manifest themselves.
Still, it's not at all clear that NRDA is capable of addressing the dangers being exposed by Hollander and the other independent scientists. The federal damage assessment process is built on the concept of "ecosystem services," which measures the value of nature according to how it serves us. How many fish were fishermen unable to catch because of the disaster? And how many tourism dollars were lost when the oil hit the beaches? Yet when it comes to the place where most of the spill damage was done — the deep ocean — we are in no position to answer such questions. The deep ocean is so understudied that we simply don't know what "service" those dead tube worms and corals would have provided to us. All we know, says MacDonald, is that "the ecosystem depends on these kinds of organisms, and if you start wiping them out, you don't know what happens." He also points out, as many ecologists do, that the entire service model is flawed. Even if it turns out that those tube worms and brittle stars do nothing for us, "they have their own intrinsic value — it matters that these organisms are healthy or not healthy." The spill "is an opportunity for us to find a new way to look at ecological health."
It is more likely, however, that we will continue to assign value only to those parts of nature from which we directly profit. Anything that slips beyond the reach of those crude calculations, either because it is too mysterious or seemingly too trivial, will be considered of no value, its existence left out of environmental risk assessment reports, its death left out of damage assessment lawsuits. And this is what is most disturbing about the latest rush to declare the gulf healthy: we seem to be once again taking refuge in our ignorance, the same kind of willful blindness that caused the disaster in the first place. First came the fateful decision to drill in parts of the earth we do not understand, taking on risks that are beyond our ability to comprehend. Next, when disaster struck, came the decision to use dispersants to sink the oil rather than let it rise to the surface, saving what we do know (the coasts) by potentially sacrificing what we don't know (the depths). And now here we are, squeezing our eyes shut before the results are in, hoping, once again, that what we don't know can't hurt us.
Only about 5 percent of the deep ocean has been explored. The existence of the deep scattering layer — the huge sector of marine life that dwells in the deep but migrates every night toward the surface — was only confirmed by marine biologists in the 1940s. And the revelations are ongoing. Mysterious and otherworldly new species are being discovered all the time.
On board the WeatherBird II, I was constantly struck by the strange simultaneity of discovery and destruction, watching young scientists experiment on fouled sediment drawn up from places science had barely mapped. It's always distressing to witness a beautiful place destroyed by pollution. But there is something particularly harrowing about the realization that we are contaminating places we have never even seen in their natural state. As drilling pushes farther and farther into deep water, risking more disasters in the name of jobs and growth, marine scientists trained to discover the thrillingly unknown will once again be reduced to coroners of the deep, boldly discovering that which we have just destroyed.

Canada Helping to Rebuild Centre for Autistic Children in L'Aquila
L'AQUILA, ITALY — The Government of Canada is helping to rebuild the Il Cireneo Foundation's Centre for Autistic Children in L'Aquila, Italy, through a contribution to the Quebec Wood Export Bureau (QWEB). The contribution was announced on behalf of the Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of Natural Resources, by the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of State (Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec), during a visit to the L'Aquila region. The Centre for Autistic Children was destroyed in a tragic earthquake that struck the area in April 2009.
Provided under Natural Resources Canada's Large-scale Wood Demonstration Projects initiative, this $298,000 contribution will be used to erect a two-storey wood-frame building with just under 400 square metres of floor space that will serve as a day residence for approximately 25 autistic children. The building will be constructed by Demtec International, a factory-built housing manufacturing company based in Princeville, Quebec.
"As Prime Minister Harper said during his visit, the people of Canada are proud to stand with the people of Italy as they rebuild after this tragic disaster," said Minister Lebel. "The reconstruction of this centre using earthquake-resistant Canadian wood-frame building techniques will provide a safe haven for these vulnerable children."
"Initiatives of this type are beneficial to all of the parties concerned," said Sylvain Labbé, QWEB President and CEO. "In addition to their knowledge of wood construction, local professionals can apply the kind of trimmings and finishing touches that will make the building blend into the country's architectural fabric, while retaining the earthquake resistance characteristic of wood-frame construction."
Totalling more than $368,000, the overall contribution by the governments of Canada and Quebec will cover the cost of manufacturing and transporting the structure, customs duties and professional fees for the design of the building and for engineering work to make sure it meets earthquake resistance standards. Funding from these partners in the project will also cover the cost of specialized labour to erect the building on the site.
Minister Lebel participated in an inauguration ceremony at the future site of the centre. Also present at the ceremony were Canada's Ambassador to Italy, Mr. James Fox; Quebec's Minister of International Relations and Minister responsible for La Francophonie, the Honourable Monique Gagnon-Tremblay; and a number of local dignitaries.
This project, financed jointly by Ronald McDonald House Charities Italy, the Sons of Italy Foundation, the Montecitorio Rotary Club Foundation, and through various other donations, demonstrates the spirit of cooperation and friendship that exists between Canada and Italy as part of the combined effort to rebuild the community infrastructure of the L'Aquila region.
Minister of State Denis Lebel, on behalf of Natural Resources Minister Christian Paradis, today announced a contribution of $298,000 to the Quebec Wood Export Bureau for the reconstruction of a centre for autistic children in L'Aquila, Italy, which was destroyed in the tragic earthquake of April 2009.

Writing a blog post after a long time.. This time on Cloud Computing fundamentals..
Why Cloud Computing?
The IT challenges listed below have made organizations think about the Cloud Computing model to provide better service to their customers
Why Cloud Computing?
The IT challenges listed below have made organizations think about the Cloud Computing model to provide better service to their customers
- Globalization: IT must meet the business needs to serve customers world-wide, round the clock - 24x7x365.
- Aging Data Centers: Migration, upgrading technology to replace old technology.
- Storage Growth: Explosion of storage consumption and usage.
- Application Explosion: New applications need to be deployed and their usage may scale rapidly, The current data center infrastructures are not planned to accommodate for such rapid growth.
- Cost of ownership: Due to increasing business demand, the cost of buying new equipment's, power, cooling, support, licenses, etc., increases the Total Cost of Ownership(TCO.)
- Acquisitions: When companies are acquired, the IT infrastructures of the acquired company and the acquiring company are often different. These differences in the IT infrastructures demand significant effort to make them inter-operable.
What is Cloud computing? (Definition): According to NIST, Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
What are the Essential Characteristics?
Cloud computing should have all of the following characteristics
- On-Demand Self-Service
- Resource Pooling
- Rapid Elasticity
- Measured Service
- Broad Network Access
What are the building blocks of Cloud Computing?
What are the Service Models in Cloud Computing?
- Infrastructure as a service
- Platform as a service
- Software as a service
What are the Deployment Models in Cloud Computing?
- Public Cloud: Infrastructure Shared across multiple end users which may include companies
- Private Cloud : Exclusive for one company, it can be on-premise / exclusively hosted at cloud service provider
- Hybrid Cloud : Combination of Public and Private cloud
- Community Cloud : Set of similar types of customer, comes together and share infrastructure, example multiple universities contribute and use one cloud infrastructure.
What is the difference between public and private cloud?
Finally, what are the befits and challenges ?
- Cost
- Speed
Consumer Challenges
- Security and Regulations
- Quality of service
- Network Latency
- Supportability
- Long term cost
- Lock-in
Providers Challenges
- Service Warranty and service cost
- Huge number of s/w to manage
- No standard cloud access interface

Keepalived instance not entering FAILED state
When a monitored interface goes down, the instance immediately enters FAILED state and the other instance gets into the MASTER state.
But, if you have a script block to check – say you are monitoring HAProxy – and HAProxy goes down the MASTER will not enter FAILED state, unless you do this:
Set the weight to a negative number (if MASTER priority is 101 and BACKUP priority is 100, the weight could be -2).
This way when HAProxy goes down, the Priority of the master will become 101 -2 = 99, the Backup with a priority of 100 will win the election and enter into MASTER state.
When HAProxy on the master comes back, it's priority increases by 2 to become 101 again and if you have nopreempt disabled, this instance will enter the MASTER state.
Discourse with Docker on port 80
Discourse can cause you trouble if you have it running(listening) on a non-standard port inside the Docker instance. (the feed, google auth return url have the port and host info in them) (assuming you would like to serve requests from a standard http(s) port).
To make it work smoothly, I had to make it listen on standard port (80 in my case).
This is what I ended up doing:
Nginx(hostip:80) -> Nginx(dockerinsideip:80)
This method also extends to having multiple docker instance for different sites.
This is my nginx config on the host:
server { #where discourse sits server_name forum.mydomain.com; location / { #this is also important for discourse to work as expected proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_redirect off; #my docker instances internal ip proxy_pass http://172.17.0.2; } }
And, I removed http port mappings on my app.yml file.
linux disk usage not adding up
Umount file systems on that partition one by one and look for files in the mount point.
When mounting a filesystem on a mount point any existing files in that mount point are not deleted. They just appear hidden when running du.

I wrote an Android client to view Munin Graphs. Please check it out.
missing scheme in email body url
Some mail service providers (Yahoo Mail exhibits this at the moment), do not like links that do not have a scheme(http/https for instance) and will make the link non-clickable by removing the href. The fix is simple:

how to not run a cron job between certain datetimes
Say, I have a cron job entry and do want the job to run between 2013-02-01 9PM (Feb 1st 2013) and 2013-02-02 11AM (Feb 2nd 2013), this is one possible solution (in crontab).
* * * * * [ $(/bin/date "+\%Y\%m\%d\%H") -lt 2013020109 -o $(/bin/date "+\%Y\%m\%d\%H") -gt 2013020211 ] && /PATHTOMYSCRIPT/myscript
rsync only certain files
Create a file on on the origin server and use the –files-from option
cd / rsync -anvi --files-from=/tmp/only_these_files . to-server:/ cat /tmp/only_these_files /srv/www/mysite/uploaded_files/9a3d3d9046aaad4bbe3074d794a6adaf.jpg /srv/www/mysite/uploaded_files/5ca1c97efd730427f846e457bd0a0667.png /srv/www/mysite/uploaded_files/5b0923025b4a1fde3a34119bfcd56567.jpg /srv/www/mysite/uploaded_files/870ed45d9ad704deace8fb541242425a.jpg
Starting KVM guest after memory change
After a memory module was taken out the system, the KVM guest was failing to start complaining about insufficient memory. Editing the domain XML file (in /etc/libvirt/qemu on Debian) to use less RAM and then trying to start the guest did not work.
I had to do this:
libvirt-bin restart
for the the updated XML file to be read and for the guest to start.
WordPress + Nginx + Permalinks Rewrite rules
The following works for me:
location /blog/ { index index.php; # WordPress pretty URLs: (as per dominiek.com) if (-f $request_filename) { break; } if (-d $request_filename) { break; } rewrite ^/blog/(.+)$ /blog/index.php?q=$1 last; # Enable nice permalinks for WordPress: (as per Yawn.it) error_page 404 = /blog/index.php?q=$uri; }
I have my blog here: http://www.trk7.com/blog/
and my permalink structure is: /%postname%/

Gold holding on to gains following a big move up
Gold daily update
Gold is currently hovering around $1,346. The precious metal is managing to hold on to gains as bond yields strengthen while the US dollar weakens. Last week, the precious metal soared as both the US dollar and bond yields remained weak. As an alternative to fiat-based investments, gold serves as an insurance policy when the banking system is under strain. Looking at the dollar, the currency is currently selling off against all major currencies except the Japanese yen. Looking at bonds, US Treasury yields are higher today ahead of significant US Treasury sales this week. 10-year US Treasuries are currently yielding 2.848% while 2-year Treasuries are yielding 2.289%. As gold trades inversely to real interest rates, the precious metal tends to weaken when US dollar rates head higher. Later today, we will upgrade short-term outlook on gold to bullish. Our medium-term outlook remains bullish.
After its most recent bottom around $1,311, gold is now above $1,347.

Americans spend over $60B on the diet industry every year.
Products, programs, memberships, food, appointments, procedures… it all adds up.
But do any of them actually do anything or have any merit to stand on?
Here is the first installment of Diets Review, where I will present a quick summary as well as my personal and professional evaluation of popular (and obscure) diets that are out there today.
I do want to set the record straight on one thing right off the bat, however:
A "diet" is simply defined as the sum of the food and drink that an individual habitually consumes.
Therefore, you are always following a diet of some sort. We all are. It may not have a name or fancy rules or promise sexy results, but we all eat a diet.
This is in contrast to diet-ing or "being on a diet", which usually refers to the practice of attempting to achieve or maintain a certain weight through the use and manipulation of diet.
Note: These are not all weight loss diets, although you will find that this is often a common theme of many defined diets floating around out there.
1. Weight Watchers
Weight Watchers is an international American company founded in 1963 by a homemaker. Notorious for famous spokespeople, currently Oprah Winfrey holds the title as well as being a member of the board of Weight Watchers International. Past spokespersons include Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Hudson, and Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson (Duchess of York).
The program assigns foods and drinks with a SmartPoints value that somehow takes into account its nutritional value through a super secret proprietary formula. The food plans try to guide members toward making more food choices that are higher in protein and lower in saturated fat and sugar. Technically, you can "spend" your points on whatever foods you want, as long as you stick to your daily SmartPoints determined by your gender, weight, height, and age. You can also earn FitPoints with exercise. In addition to your daily SmartPoints, you may also use some of your weekly cushion of "extra" points if you want to eat more on a certain day or if you go out to eat and know you will go over your daily goal. Also, as with many reduced-calorie weight loss programs, they encourage taking a daily multivitamin.
Meetings are highly encouraged, although there are online- and phone-based options available if in-person meetings are not your thing or are not available in your area.
Cost varies with promotions and depending on if you attend the weekly in-person meetings, work with a coach, or use the online tools. Typically, new members pay a $20 starter fee. Online tools cost $19.95 per month. Meetings + online tools cost $44.95 per month (or pay-as-you-go for $12-15 per week). Personal coaching + online tools cost $54.95 per month. Coaching + meetings + online tools cost $69.95 per month. None of this includes the cost of food, which since this is not a meal replacement program, is up to you to decide what to eat.
Three meals and at least 2 snacks per day is encouraged. With the development of the mobile app, the diet is also quite convenient to follow even if you are busy and on-the-go. Anyone who is following a special diet for whatever reason (vegetarian, halal, etc.) will also still be able to participate due to the fact that you make all of your own food choices. Weight Watchers does sell some of their own packaged foods and lends their SmartPoints logo to many other companies, since it is such a widespread and popular diet. You don't even need to plug in the values to their calculator – the value is already on the front of the box!
Personally, of the diet programs out there today, I do consider Weight Watchers to be one of the best. Especially after they redid their points system which makes fresh fruits and vegetables free (no points). Do I think that the system could still use some improvement? Of course! I wish that they would take other nutrients into greater account than just calories, protein, saturated fat, and sugar, but making fresh fruits and vegetables free is at least a step in the right direction. The fact that they recreate themselves every few years is also encouraging, as they are not afraid to change their system and recommendations as new information and feedback comes out.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and was developed to lower blood pressure without medication in research sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Since that time, many studies have shown that the diet reduces the risk of stroke, heart disease, heart failure, kidney stones, diabetes, and some types of cancer as well as helping some lose weight and become healthier overall. DASH is also regularly rated #1 by US News as the Best Diet Overall as well as near the top for Best Diabetes Diets and Best Heart-Healthy Diets.
The DASH diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, lowfat/nonfat dairy, whole grains, lean meat, fish, poultry, nuts, and beans and limits red meat, sodium (1500mg), and added sugars. It is high fiber and low to moderate in fat and is sometimes referred to as a more Americanized version of the Mediterranean diet explained below. Exercise is also encouraged as this helps lower blood pressure as well.
Because this is not a program, the only cost to you is the cost of food. You may choose to purchase books and cookbooks, but they are in no way needed to eat a DASH diet. It is also completely appropriate for other members of your family to eat as it is not required that you have high blood pressure before adopting this eating style.
A major complaint is that the food is bland. Well, if your taste buds are used to everything being coated in salt, then DUH your food will probably taste bland. Your taste buds will need to get used to the way food actually tastes again, and learning how to use other seasonings and spices to flavor your food will also help in this area.
As far as sustainability goes, you can't get much better than this. If you want to be super strict about eating the exact number of servings of each food group that they recommend, that may be a bit of a pain, but the overall eating pattern and food choices themselves can be followed easily after the initial adjustment period.
Side note: this is the diet that I teach my cardiac rehab patients.
3. Mediterranean
Rating just barely behind the DASH diet is the Mediterranean diet. As the name suggests, this diet is based on the observance that those who live in countries around the Mediterranean Sea often live longer and have lower rates of cancer and heart disease than we do here in the United States.
Now, you may be thinking. Wait! The French eat differently from the Italians who eat differently than the Spanish who eat differently than the Greek. You would be correct. However, they do share many of the same eating principles.
The secret? An active lifestyle as well as a diet low in red meat, sugar, and saturated fat and high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil, fish, whole grains, seafood, and beans… and the occasional glass of red wine.
The same as the DASH diet, this is not a structured diet so much as an eating pattern.
How is this different than the DASH diet, exactly? The Mediterranean diet includes fewer dairy products and higher amounts of unsaturated fats as well as being more liberal with the consumption of alcohol. The DASH diet also places a limit on sodium whereas the Mediterranean diet does not emphasis this and allows for more poultry. However, they are still very, very similar. Many patients that I meet with hate fish and seafood, so for them, the DASH diet would probably yield better results because it includes more of the foods that they already enjoy
Following closely on the heels of #2 and 3 is the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet which combines aspects of both with the aim of preventing Alzheimer's disease by emphasizing foods that have been shown to have a greater impact on brain health. This is a very new diet, created out of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago in the past few years. Research is still in its early stages and longer, larger, more-controlled studies are still needed, as the initial study lasted only 4 1/2 years and looked only at seniors in the Chicago-area.
In the MIND diet, there are 10 "brain healthy" food groups: green leafy vegetables, berries, fish, wine, olive oil, nuts, whole grains, poultry, beans, and other vegetables. You eat from these different food groups differing amounts of times per day or week… I didn't think that a single food could comprise an entire "food group".
It is also recommended that you avoid foods from the 5 "unhealthy" food groups: red meat, butter and stick margarine, sweets and pastries, cheeses, and fried or fast foods. In general, I am not a fan of label foods as "healthy" or "unhealthy". Any kind of black-white dichotomy when it comes to foods, dieting, or really anything at all sends up a little red flag in my MIND.
Exercise is not addressed, although it has been shown that physical activity may help protect brain health.
5. Jenny Craig
Founded in 1983 and operating in the United States since 1985, I was actually surprised by how long Jenny Craig has been around! This is essentially a meal replacement program – 3 meals and up to 3 snacks per day.
According to their website, their program is evidence-based and designed by Registered Dietitians. I think this is great! However, in general I am not a fan of meal replacement programs. You are constrained by the foods they offer, although they do appear to have a wide range of foods available. However, if you have special dietary needs or restrictions, such as a vegan, gluten-free, kosher, or low-salt, on top of the weight loss diet, you may be limited in your options (if you are even left with any at all).
As a meal replacement program, it can be a bit of a financial burden. There is a $99 enrollment fee and at least $19.99 per month on top of that PLUS the cost of food, which averages out to $15-23 per day. Plus shipping. There are a few membership deals out there (month-to-month, premium one-time fee, refunds for reaching your goal weight, etc.) but I would still consider this an expensive program for many.
I would also think that someone who lives on their own with few social occasions would be more successful. If you had a family that you still needed to feed and have family meals with, you may feel left out. Same with social events. No more going out to restaurants with friends or on dates, unless you wanted to "go off plan". But wait! Don't fret! You are allowed 250 "splurge" calories for special occasions, even if that is a couple of times a week. 250 measly calories!?… Gee, thanks, Jenny Craig. At least they encourage physical activity. Also, as with many reduced-calorie weight loss programs, they do encourage at least taking a daily multivitamin.
In the beginning, you eat 3 prepackaged meals and 1 snack per day as well as 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables and at least 2 nonfat dairy foods "for volume and nutritional balance". Halfway through, you cook for yourself twice a week using their recipes. After reaching your weight loss goal, you spend four weeks transitioning back to making your own meals.
You get a personalized meal and exercise plan plus sessions with a consultant. Their credentials? A training course. That's it. Well, that and be "health-oriented and customer-focused".

EASTON -- Voters searching for big differences between 1st District congressional candidates Wayne T. Gilchrest and Tom McMillen need look only as far as their election finance reports.
Representative McMillen, a Democrat, has spent more on his campaign in the last three months than Republican Representative Gilchrest has raised in the past year. And while it's clear that Mr. McMillen has the edge when it comes to raising money, the Gilchrest campaign is attempting to turn many of the Democrat's benefactors -- political action committees and other out-of-state contributors -- into an election liability.
Federal Election Commission reports show that Mr. McMillen has raised close to $591,000 for next month's general election. He spent $254,400 of that between July 1 and Sept. 30.

Lockyer, Sir Joseph Norman
Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer (lŏk´yər), 1836–1920, English astronomer, educated on the Continent. One of the first to make a spectroscopic examination of the sun and stars, he devised (1868), independently of P. J. C. Janssen, a method of observing solar prominences with the spectroscope in daylight. In the same year he discovered the element helium in the sun and applied the name chromosphere to the layer, or envelope, of gas around the sun. He was elected to fellowship in the Royal Society (1869) and served as professor of astronomical physics of the newly founded Royal College of Science and director of the Solar Physics Observatory (1890–1913). Between 1870 and 1905 he headed eight government expeditions to observe total eclipses of the sun. He was knighted in 1897. His works include Studies in Spectrum Analysis (1872), Contributions to Solar Physics (1874), The Chemistry of the Sun (1887), and The Sun's Place in Nature (1897).

Desovereignization is not a result of legislating something away, but of acknowledging limitations. The ecosystem didn't suddenly split asunder just because a small minority instituted a system of jurisdictions, with many falling between the cracks, either unable to get a passport, or simply not caring about these "invisible lines" through their deserts.
In like fashion, Native Americans never felt compelled to memorize the "50 states", as their points of reference were much older and no more arbitrary. How we choose to mentally subdivide the planet is to some extent a matter of ethnicity and personal choice.
If your company administers a sprawling network in many cities, it stands to reason the CEO might put her "nationality" on the back burner, as something to quietly take pride in, but without being too vocal about. Whereas refugees and non-humans may have no citizenship, some others have two or three.
As a maverick individualist, Fuller tended to see himself as a "me ball", with his environment as "otherness", their interplay an "awareness" (a relationship). Each one of us has a similar individualized relationship to the planet, one which transcends accidents of birth, conventions around citizenship or membership.
In exercising more personal responsibility towards our fellow beings, regardless of which passport they're carrying, we come to think more supranationally, more like airline cabin crews, or like one of those doctors without borders.
Self-seeking brings a potential loss that engenders first caution, then fear: fear of change; change being inexorable, fear increases and freezes. Self-seeking always eventuates in self-destruction through inability to adapt. (411.23)Fuller was eager to give us a more worldly outlook, one well informed by global data. He designed something along these lines for Montreal '67, but the USIS decided against it. Nor was the East River version of the geoscope ever much more than a sketch.
And yet, psychologically speaking, these projects still made a real difference. Ephemeralization, doing more with less, sometimes means doing practically nothing, and yet exerting a steering function. Our "A team" players know what I'm talking about (i.e. "precession").
My standard line is that even if the Fuller Projection is somewhat copy protected against unseemly displays of nationalism, we still have all those other more traditional maps for showing those national boundaries.
I favor using those highly distorted Mercators, as they usually give just the right retro flavor, provide that edgy, mocking tone. I chuckle whenever I see them, especially on "sophisticated" news shows, so cosmopolitan yet not.
At some point, misinformation becomes ironically self referential and people use it as kitsch. We've seen this with the Sino-Soviet propaganda, which is somewhat appropriate given the "withering of the state" was the projected outcome, not the same as "world government" exactly, more noospheric and cyberspatial.
We still need a United Nations though, to protect against human rights abuses, to gather data, to monitor agreements. A lot of professional engineers get a career boost from that corner, plus Quakers have their own QUNO.
Our family had UN passports for awhile, back in the day. We felt pretty cool about that I remember, liked flashing 'em in airports.

The code will replace the existing Income Tax Act, which was enacted in 1961 and would subsume the direct tax legislations.
Reasons to make it Unique:
First, in naming it the direct tax code and not the Income-tax (I-T) Act, perhaps the government is attempting to send a signal.By naming the new legislation a "code" rather than an Act, the government appears to be giving a signal that in the future sensing it as a good signal.
Second, there has been a conscious effort to do away with exemptions—so that effective rates of taxation reflect the charges on incomes that are transparently defined.a major shift away from area-based exemptions, from choosing winners and losers in industry and, indeed, in removing distortions that have crept in the way of "development initiative
Third, there is considerable relief for individuals,calling it the direct tax code rather than the I-T legislation, there is an attempt to bring some of the newer tariffs such as the fringe benefit tax and the securities transaction tax into the legislation.

It sounds improbable -- Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood: Play for Voices" staged by the National Theatre of the Deaf.
And, indeed, the improbable nature of the production is addressed in the show itself, which is being presented at 4 p.m. tomorrow at Goucher College's Kraushaar Auditorium as a benefit for the Hearing and Speech Agency.
The production begins with a short curtain-raiser titled "The Spinning Man," in which Thomas -- portrayed by Will Rhys, who also scripted the introductory piece -- asks the rest of the cast, "If you can't hear, what about the sounds that the words make?"

The UN Security Council passed a resolution urging Israel to end its illegal settlements after the U.S. opted not to vote.
Egypt, which initially proposed the resolution withdrew after Israel asked Trump to intervene. The other four non-permanent members (Malaysia, Senegal, New Zealand, and Venezuela) proposed the resolution again.
The U.S. has sheltered Israel from condemning resolutions in the past. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would not abide by the vote. Israeli ambassadors in Senegal and New Zealand were called back for consultations, while Israel has no diplomatic ties with Venezuela and Malaysia.
Palestinian leadership welcomed the resolution which was passed by 14 votes to zero, with one abstention from U.S. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' spokesman said that the UN resolution was a big blow to the Israel policy as it condemned Israeli settlements and showed strong support for the two-state solution.
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted
"As to the UN, things will be different after Jan. 20th."
On January 20, Trump will be officially sworn in as 45th U.S. President.
The Jewish settlements are the most contentious issue between Israel and the Palestinians, who see the settlements as an obstacle to peace. There are around 140 settlements in which around 500,000 Jews live; the settlements were built after Israel's occupation of West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. The settlements are considered illicit under international law, a fact disputed by Israel.
The official statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said:-
"Israel rejects this shameful anti-Israel resolution at the UN and will not abide by its terms. At a time when the Security Council does nothing to stop the slaughter of half a million people in Syria, it disgracefully gangs up on the one true democracy in the Middle East, Israel, and calls the Western Wall 'occupied territory'. The Obama administration not only failed to protect Israel against this gang-up at the UN, it colluded with it behind the scenes. Israel looks forward to working with President-elect Trump and with all our friends in Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to negate the harmful effects of this absurd resolution."
Samantha Power, The U.S. Ambassador to UN, said that the U.S. decision reflected ground realities. She stated that the settlements were an obstacle to the two-state solution and criticized Mr. Netanyahu's support for settlement expansion.
She further added that the U.S. didn't vote for the resolution because it was "too narrowly focused" on settlements; both the sides would need to acknowledge harsh truths and make difficult choices even after the settlements are dismantled.
The U.S. reversed its longstanding policy to shelter Israel from condemning resolutions. The decision to not veto the condemnation resolution was taken after months of debate in the administration. By abstaining from voting, President Obama defined his position and support for a two-state solution before leaving the office. But Trump has taken a strongly pro-Israel stance as his latest intervention and tweets reflect.

Other information
Summary of Research
Most of Sub-Saharan countries are facing water pollution from multiple industrial expansions. Upstream unsustainable land use practices aggravate the pollutions and the rugged topography also accelerates runoff flows and erosions processes in the particularly the tropical countries. Because of these problems, downstream water bodies are now alarmingly vulnerable and the city of Kombolcha (in Ethiopia) is typical in confronting these problems. With many old and new factories arround and the expansion of urban agricultures downstream, It is now imperative to examine pollution status and impacts on downstream environments. My Ph.D. study is focused on exploring the spatio-temporal effects of selected pollutants and their impacts on downstream water ecology and supplies. This will help to develop industrial emission controlling measures and mitigation of encountered problems. .

This is the sister site of Lincoln Christ's Hospital School. The Purple Cow project was launched in November 2016 following the Sixth Form students voicing that they felt 'Purple Cow' was a more creative way of engaging people with sensitive issues and would help attract students to look at information displayed in the school.
Why Purple Cow? The Purple Cow is a witty way of saying that it's okay to be different. We are all unique which is something worth celebrating but some times we all struggle with how we feel about ourselves. On the other hand, Purple Cow symbolises that there are times when people feel that they stand out because what is happening in their lives.
The reason why people feel they are different or stand out can be anything from personal or family struggles, learning and behaviour difficulties, gender identity and sexuality to mental health and bullying.
This site offers an opportunity to access lots of information and advice on a number of different topics with ease. However, you will also find what services are out there that can help or what the school has to offer in supporting Students and their families.
If you have been supported by the school and this has helped (not matter now big or small) or found the website useful, your comments are very much appreciated. Any feedback displayed on the website will be anonymised. We are also looking at ways to continuously develop website or the Purple Cow project, where your thoughts and suggestions are welcome. You can get in touch by completing the form below – Testimonials and Feedback.
Please keep any eye on the school's Twitter account (@LCHSed) for updates on the Purple Cow Project.
Thank you for taking the time to use this site.

Different TCR-induced T lymphocyte responses are potentiated by stiffness with variable sensitivity
Different TCR-induced T lymphocyte responses are potentiated by stiffness with variable sensitivity - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 Immunité et cancer 2 Laboratoire MSC - Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes 3 UFR 925 - Faculté de Physique UPMC 4 IC - Institut Cochin
Abstract : T cells are mechanosensitive but the effect of stiffness on their functions is still debated. We characterize herein how human primary CD4 + T cell functions are affected by stiffness within the physiological Young-s modulus range of 0.5 kPa to 100 kPa. Stiffness modulates T lymphocyte migration and morphological changes induced by TCR-CD3 triggering. Stiffness also increases TCR-induced immune system, metabolism and cell-cycle-related genes. Yet, upon TCR- CD3 stimulation, while cytokine production increases within a wide range of stiffness, from hundreds of Pa to hundreds of kPa, T cell metabolic properties and cell cycle progression are only increased by the highest stiffness tested 100 kPa. Finally, mechanical properties of adherent antigen-presenting cells modulate cytokine production by T cells. Together, these results reveal that T cells discriminate between the wide range of stiffness values found in the body and adapt their responses accordingly.

He has been called 'India's fastest guitarist' but all this young musician wants to do is be true to his craft, play with his heroes and put India on the musical map. As he releases his fast-selling debut album, Apernit talks to us about playing guitar, the power of perseverance and his plans for the music community.
On his debut album - a guitar-based labour of love…
My album is a pop/rock, guitar-based album. It is based on the acoustic and electric feel of the guitar with songs in different keys. If you notice on a lot of albums the tone tends to be the same but in my album each song has a different and unique significance. The lyrics are based on events that have occurred in my life – the sorrows and joys.
I had a dream as a child that I would release an album and I have been working for the past 3 years on this. I finished my graduation this June and the day after my final exams my song aired for the first time. My elders told me to build a strong foundation, to go through college, finish and then work on music. It's working well so far. Album sales are going good and people are saying they like my music. For a while now we've had people from other countries come here and make this kind of music but I think Indipop can also do something new. My USP is guitar.
On being called 'India's fastest guitarist'…
See, I have been playing guitar from the age of 7. People have labelled me 'the fastest guitarist in India' but I just aim to play better each day. When people kept saying I was so fast, I tested myself and I found that I could play 22 notes in 0.76 seconds. In fact I am trying to make it better. I never thought I would be so committed to it though. Now I practice 20 hours a day.
On learning the craft…
I wanted to learn how to play and so I taught myself. The thing is I don't have an ego problem. If someone is better than me I try to learn from them. If you want to learn, you must pick up everything that you can. People often try and memorise a song using tabs from the net. Instead if you just learn the basic rules that songs are built on, you can apply those rules to any other songs and learn more! So I worked on it like that. I always say that I am a droplet of music and music is just like a sea – I will take many lifetimes to explore music fully. Also, to learn better, I think guitarists should be flexible and accepting of all genres of music. You often find guitarists who look down on all forms of music except the one that they like but that attitude does not work. You can't play to satisfy your ego. You have to be humble in your approach.
On life and destiny…
Musically I give credit to my hard work and faith and the time I have spent with my guitar. But I must thank my mentor Mr. Saket Jalan from Bangalore – he provided me with a lot of support and believed in my passion and my talent. He was the one to start the album project. Also, I thank Mr. Siddharth Patwa, one of my seniors who always believed in me. He produced my album and manages my events. With God's grace I have got their help.

They say Mooncat Jack takes the kids nobody is watching, the kids nobody wants. They say he takes them in the dark and smiles with teeth like black dice and eyes like pools of dead water waiting to suck them down to...someplace else... Darkness is everywhere. It lingers in the echoes of the past and dwells behind the closed doors of ordinary houses. It rises from the dead and hides behind the face of true love. Pretend you don't see it, but you know it's there. You know, sooner or later, a day will come when you feel its touch and see its face. Now from one of dark fiction's most powerful new voices comes this collection of nightmare visions of the things that live beyond the light. Sure, they say James Chambers is a normal guy. They say he doesn't look like a horror writer. And yet he's gazed into the dark and lived to tell these tales of madness and betrayal, shocking Lovecraftian mysteries, and terrifying journeys into history. Known for creating surprising twists and haunting characters, Chambers delivers atmospheric suspense mixed with disturbing, psychological dread. Consider these stories to be cautionary tales, warnings of the unseen horrors that lurk all around us, and read them if you dare. Published here for the first time anywhere is Chamber's chilling novelette of the New York City underworld: "e;Five Points."e;

Deryn exhibits a sensuality that is positively off the scales. Not just her stunning form but also, her coy and seductive smile leave me breathless.
I like that about her posing. She can be arousing and not even be nude.
Aah, to be blessed with those remarkable tits and that beautiful pussy. Incredible. So sexy. Great photo shoot. Can we please see more of Daniel Sea?! Much more.
Great Shots! Bravi tutti!
Dear Albert,
Here I am, once again...always on Your Side.
This set is simply Wonderful.
Outstanding, Stunning Photos...Pure Poetry.
Incredible Artist.
You take my breath away.
I would like to learn from You.
I consider myself the biggest supporter of You in the whole world.
I do not tired to write to You:
Great, Great, Great Albert Varin!
Albert Varin failed miserably to do proper justice to Daniel Sea in this set. Most of the poses and shots were neither erotic nor sexy. For example: the first 20 shots were pure trash. I do not come to this site to see pictures of fully clothed babes sitting by the window. Most of the rest of the shots were focused on her open pussy, which is distasteful.
In the backside shots, Daniel covered her butt with her hands, obscuring the view. What a waste and a shame.
A lot of nice, sweet and naughty shots of the cute Daniel in this update, both Daniel and Albert did a good job in this one :-)
Only negative thing I will say about it is that there was probably used too many different light sources, or rather too many difference in light tones, in some of the pictures it had kind of a negative effect to have both the cold blue and warm yellow light hit her skin at the same time, had the cold (blue) light only affected the bookcase and the shadows it cast on the wall behind her and the warm (yellow) light illuminated both her and everything in her immediate vicinity it might have had a better effect, but then again it is always easier to be smart about these things in hindsight :-P
Always a good day at the office when Daniel stops by and sits on your desk. Thanks for all the pantie shots.
The wonderful, spcectacular, magificent Daniel is back. She is one of the most exceptional models MetArt has ever produced. She is a thrill to behold. Thank you for another spectacular appearance. Could we please have a video someday soon. Albert, your work is great. Daniel darling, thanks so much for being there and being so responsive and giving. We love you.
Daniel Sea is phenomenal. I love this set. The experience of this gallery is unique and fresh, as are most Daniel Sea galleries. There are many beautiful photographs here, and Daniel is always arousing.
It is sooooo very nice to see Daniel Sea grace us with her magnificent beauty once again, it's been far far too long since her last appearance. I loved this set , mainly because of the subject matter, being Daniel Sea and the 123 photos were a treat.
I wonder though, and this is no knock on Albert Varin, but it seems that any girl Albert shoots with never shoots with any other photographer. I would think girls like Daniel Sea and Emma Sweet would be sought after for work by other photographers. Many other models work with various photographers and I would love to see Daniel Sea work with others, just for that fresh different look from another's creative eye, variety is a good thing. Just curious.
For sets like this I am here on MetArt. THX for the most arousing piece of erotic art.
Glad to see the Goddess and her epic bosom is back. We need more and more often of her! ~ Daniel Sea Fanclub
A voluptuous beauty like Ms. Sea will scare most men, especially the timid of heart; hence, the (continual) low rating(s). I say bring on Ms. Sea, she's the "whole package' here; incredible set with incredible poses of Daniel by Mr. Varin.! Easily +9 or above.
HALLELUJAH! NEW DANIEL SEA SET! I thought we'd seen the last of this gorgeous seductress. What an absolute phenomenon she is. Those eyes, that body, those fearless poses... nobody gets the pulse pounding quite like she does. DEVASTATING.
I am glad to see Daniel Sea back on Met, a beautiful woman for sure.
Second comment today. I except and appreciate the freedom of comment on this site and that many sets are not to everyones taste. What frustrates me is often the lack of clarity and detail as to why a particular model, artist, physical attribute, location, the lighting, prop or myriad of other things is not liked, just a few more words would let us all know why?
E.G. I do not like the fact that photo #7 and photo #8 are so different one bit. I mean WTAF?? #7 could be from Star Wars, #8 from Titanic. Mat Art needs to get a grip BIG TIME or I am totally out of here (PS #lol Whatever guys, I'm cancelling my subscription to this heap of poo faster the
n Harvey Weinstein is going to jail)
(loveu69) My comment on the previous set (Luna Pica), which was written before I even viewed this set, rather says it all (with the exception that I forgot to add about bad lighting/shadows which also needs to be added to the list).
I agree.
Photographers, models and especially MET need clear feedback to know the positive aspects and negatives to improve in the future.
With that said, each individual has their own preferences.
I try to offer general feedback which benefits the majority of members.
For example this set has a good strip tease sequence and great presentation of panties.
The panties are not bunched up and pulled aside but presented like a Victoria Secret ad.
Also there are a variety of poses and close-ups with a full set of 120+ photos (THANK YOU ! )
On the negative, all of todays sets feature obstructed views with props, necklaces, long hair covering boobs, hand and arms blocking views which do not add any erotic quality, just frustration.
By continually offering constructive feedback, this site will only get even better.
(If the aforementioned listen and take action) ;-)
(William) You are dead right in your comments except one point. In your last sentence you say "if the" but it should read "if ONLY the". The word ONLY needs including because they never listen and never take action.
The deliciously stunning M/s Sea. Everyone should be lucky enough to have the pleasure of experiencing first hand magnificent breasts as Daniel has, there is so much delight to be had with big boobs! They are a pleasure zone for both of you just on there own. 8)
A dreadful set, but nice to see that Daniel is still out there. It has been far too long.

Vegan MoFo Day 11
This is such an easy, lifesaver kind of salad. I make it all the time and it's such a good side dish you can serve with pretty much everything. Enjoy Peoples!
Broccoli and Baby Corn Salad
1 large broccoli, broken into its florets
5 baby corn, cut into 4 (lengthways)
A handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
• Steam the broccoli florets and baby corn together until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool. Once cool, add the parsley.
• Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables. Mix well without breaking the peace between ingredients and serve.

The Vivo V3Max runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with Vivo's custom Funtouch OS overlay on top. As with other Chinese manufacturers, that means a single-tiered interface with no app drawer. Vivo steps it up a notch and bakes a lot of Apple-esque user interface touches to Android, making for an interesting mashup.
The end result is a slick user interface with a slew of features, making for an interesting Android skin. That being said, there's also a lot Vivo can further polish. Many menus and some features are hidden under layers of shortcuts and obscure menus.
The lockscreen can be heavily customized and features notifications - a feature Google introduced with Lollipop. The other modifications come in the form of two shortcuts in the bottom corners - dialer and camera by default. However, you do get to assign any other app of your choice to either one. Lockscreen themes are also an option for further customization.
Default lockscreen Lockscreen settings Lockscreen themes
Past the lockscreen you get the same single-tier interface with no app drawer. The number of homescreen panes doesn't appear to be limited to a single page of thumbs (which holds 9) and we quickly concluded you won't be left without room for new apps.
You can rearrange the homescreens any way you like and the pane you place first is the default one that appears when you tap the Home button. The panes cannot be cycled, which can prove a problem if you have a large number set up.
The homescreen doubles as an app drawer Managing the homescreen panes isn't easy
The homescreen is where all your apps reside after installation. You can group the app icons in folders and tapping on a folder shows its contents in a nicely animated popup on a blurred background (sound familiar?). There's a dock on the bottom of the homescreen, which takes up to 5 icons, folders included, and redistributes them evenly, depending on the number.
Meanwhile, swiping up from the bottom edge brings out a combined toggles/brightness/tasks drawer, reminiscent of the iOS Control center. Closing apps works with a cheerful "Speed up" button.
The Quick settings toggles and the task manager You can customize the Quick settings toggles
The brightness slider doesn't take taps if you want to jump straight to a specific position, instead you need to grab it by the handle each time. There's an Auto switch too.
The toggles offer the expected functionality and aside from the simple on/off action, work as shortcuts to the respective setting upon a long press. All of them are listed in a singled side-scrollable row, and you can rearrange them or hide the unused ones.
Custom notification shade Searching a-la Apple's Spotlight
The Vivo V3Max comes with extensive gesture and motion functionality, found in settings under Smart motion. Smart wake works with the display off and lets you draw letters to launch specific apps, unlock with an upward swipe without lighting the screen beforehand or launch the camera with a downward swipe.
Finally, there's Smart Split, which allows you to split the display and launch two apps side-by-side.

Parked last night at TA Beto Junction, wouldn't have made it down here yesterday anyway. A crazy thunderstorm rolled in later that night and made it pretty cozy in my can trying to sleep zzzz
Woke up after a 10 and drove the rest of the way down to Tyson in Hutchinson and delivered.
Now I'm at the Loves truckstop chilling and waiting for my next assignment.
A little late because I decided in the last minute to do an inspection on my truck at the Fontana yard, but there were no problems or delays at the receiver because of it so I'm good.
It's crazy tight and busy in here, probably one of the worst places I've been to. Now just got into a door and they start unloading me immediately. My next load is preloaded and being picked up in Rialto once I'm done here, then of to Wal-Mart in Hermiston OR.
It's a pretty hot day here in California today, need both my windows rolled down while I'm waiting. Pretty good for the middle of November :)
The load is delivered and I'm now parked at the Petro here in Casa Grande. Been here since the am.
I also got a new load from Frito Lay here in Casa Grande to Salt Lake City, picking up tomorrow sometime before noon and will be delivered on the 28th. That's about 700 miles from here.
Woke up at 0500am this morning for my first delivery in Houston, but was told to wait in the truck and they should let me know when they wad ready. At 0900am I was given a door. Couple of hours later I was empty and on my way to my next stop on the other side of the city.
I was of course late now, but got a door as soon as I got there. A couple of hours later I was done and headed to my third and last stop. No way I could make that appointment either, but I got there about 1,5 hour late. They were nice and friendly and got me at door immediately. Did my empty call and headed for the Katy yard to pick up a tcall going to Wal-Mart.
This load unfortunately didn't have many miles, but a little later they called me and asked if I wanted to go pick up a load at Del Monte in Galveston yo Columbus OH. Much more miles, of course I wanted that.
Now I'm at the harbor in Galveston waiting to enter the gates at 1100pm. So I have a few hours to kill. I've never been this far south in Texas before and it's beautiful down here.
Started working on my old fuel game project again this Christmas, but had to change it from liters to gallons. Now it's kind of working, just need some drivers to start using it so we can find all the bugs lol
Started early this morning to get my 2 stop load to Macys in Cheshire CT, got lucky and was told to drop the trailer on my first stop. No empty reefers there so I went over to my second stop anyway to look and found the one in the picture. It was pretty messed up and dirty, but otherwise fine, no damages. Now sitting at the TA Southington playing the waiting game again!
Went to Walmart in Smyrna DE today, then bobtailed back to the Carlisle yard to pick up an preloaded trailer going to Macys in CE. Runned out of hours to get there in time so I pulled off to a rest area here on I84. Will start at 0500am in the morning. Good night!!

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "interior designing"? Most of you will say furniture, wallpapers, carpets, et cetera. However, there is one thing that is of utmost importance than any other material stuff: Lightning. Lighting is an essential facet of any interior space. It defines the temperature and vibe of your room. A warm shade of light (such as yellow, orange, and red) in your room gives the impression of a relatively high temperature, whereas a cool shade like white will give your room a calm appearance.
An indecent amount of lighting is a big no-no in the world of interior designing. An ideal house should be bright with proper light in its rooms. If you are trying to find ways to illuminate your home, then you have come to the right place. Following are a few ways to make your living space brighter:
- Let the Sunshine in:
There is no better light source than nature's sunshine. The amount of light in your room influences your mood. There is a reason why horror movies have little lighting; the Sun never shines brightly in Evil Dead. Similarly, a dimly lit room negatively impacts your mood. Make sure that your house has at least one window in every room. For a healthy amount of sunlight, your house should be East facing. Not only you will get vitamin D this way; it will help you save electricity too.
- LED lights:
Windows cannot always guarantee a sunny weather, especially on cloudy days. LED lights can solve this problem. LED bulbs are cost effective since they consume 90% less electricity as compared to incandescent bulbs. They provide a good amount of lighting and are durable for long-term use.
Moreover, just having overhead lights in your house is a bad idea. If your house has fewer windows and just overhead lights, then your problem can be solved easily by installing wall sconces, light fixtures, floor lamps, and table lamps in every room. LED wall sconces are the best for indoor as well as outdoor use; you can install them in your veranda too. Lamps are another good option as they are portable and add to the interior of the room. For example, a crystal floor lamp will give a sleek appearance to your room.
- Say yes to soft colored walls:
Don't paint your walls dark shades such as red, black, navy blue, fuschia, maroon, etc. Firstly, it hogs the space in your room and makes it look smaller than it is. Secondly, dark colored walls soak all the light and give the room a gloomy aura. Go for bright colors such as yellow, white, aqua blue, mint, pistachio. The color of your walls defines the vitality of the room.
Let's not forget the therapeutic benefits of colors and how it affects our mood. According to color psychology, softer shades of blue are said to have stress-relieving properties, and green symbolizes nature and peace. Pastel shades of walls and furniture make the room spacious.
Light colored walls along with proper lighting will make any room vivify.
- String lights:
String lights are a unique but an effective way to increase the illumination of your house. Plus, it gives your home a festive look. String lights are best suitable for the living room and the kid's room, not your dining area as they might give an informal feel if you are entertaining guests.
You can be creative while putting on string lights; hang them on the walls in a swirly pattern, let them fall with the curtains, or let them dangle from the ceiling, it is all up to you. String lights are very cheap and easy to install than other light sources. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors; you can even get the LED one easily from your local store.

Also, our colleague Frankie had his last day today. We had taken several photos. Hope we can meet in CityU again. '__'

In the fall of 1993, in his prime and at the summit of the sports world, Michael Jordan walked away from pro basketball. After leading the Dream Team to an Olympic gold medal in 1992 and taking the Bulls to their third consecutive NBA championship the following year, Jordan was jolted by the murder of his father. Was it the brutal loss of such an anchor in his life that caused the world's most famous athlete to rekindle a childhood ambition by playing baseball? Or some feeling that he had nothing left to prove or conquer in basketball? Or something deeper and perhaps not yet understood? Ron Shelton, a former minor leaguer who brought his experiences to life in the classic movie "Bull Durham," will revisit Jordan's short career in the minor leagues and explore the motivations that drove the world's most competitive athlete to play a new sport in the relative obscurity of Birmingham, Alabama, for a young manager named Terry Francona.
