We are carbon based, endo-skeletal, sentient beings, we have no idea where we came from or why we are on this rock orbiting a yellow dwarf star. For hundreds of years Scientist, philosophers and clerics have attempted to decipher this question but have only succeeded to further polarize opinions. Were we created by a Grande Engineer or the result of biological improvements for survivability?

Other theories for the origin of life
Although Evolution and Intelligent Design (Creationism) stand on opposite ends of the spectrum, there are a few other theories, to explain the origin of life. The primordial ooze theory, which states that life originated from micro-organisms in large bodies of water. Electrical spark theory that postulates that electrical impulses from lightning created the necessary protein building blocks for complex organisms. And the panspermia theory that theorizes that the initial biological material was introduced to Earth via meteorites and found the ideal conditions to evolve into complex organisms.
Creationism bases its theories of the origin of life on biblical sources. Creationists disown Darwinian theories of evolution and believe that the Earth is much younger than those purported by scientists. They believe in a higher Being, a Grande Architect being responsible for the creation of the universe and life. They believe that the Earth is no older than 10.000 years. To be non-biased, there are people that believe in hybridized versions where life originated with God, but later evolved and accept science's age for the Earth.
Gene theory
Scientists have found that all living organisms on the face of the earth share genes, Humans and bacteria, bacteria and alligators. Depending on physiology they may share even more genes, indicating that every living organism on the face of this world had a common ancestor. Creationists attribute species similarities not to common genes or ancestors, but to a common creator. They further assert that the scientific proof backing common ancestry and common gene theory is purely propaganda.
Evolution, Creationism and fossils
So indelible they're made of stone, fossils are preserved remnants of ancient life forms. Evolutionary or Darwinist scientists claim fossils are ancient life forms that died and through a specific process their body's tissues were replaced with stone. Creationists believe that fossils are a result of misleading and incorrect scientific methodology.
How could you help your argument?
From a Darwinist standpoint, there are a slew of professions that can assist in exploring the origin of life. Anthropologists, biologists and even astrophysics have added to the imperial evidence regarding the beginning of complex origins of life. If you're a creationist, you can also pursue the same types of academic and research based professions of course with a very different perspective and final goal. Nothing that hasn't been proven can be disproven so that might be your motivation to continue searching, exploring and asking why.

Which philosophy do you think has the correct stance for the origin of complex life on Earth? Does evolutionary thought really disregard biblical teaching or does creationism really discredit evolutionary theory? Please feel free to express you perspectives, ideas and thoughts on the topic in the comment section below, it would be very interesting to hear from both sides of this heated topic.

I thought I would do a new set of blogs devoted to the CDC (US Center for Disease Control and Prevention) mortality data.
This amazing data set is greater than 1 Gigabyte in length and contains individual de-identified (and sometimes ambiguated) records for U.S. deaths occurring in 1999.
With access to this file, an informaticist/epidemiologist can glean a wealth of information related to the immediate, underlying, and contributing causes of death in the U.S.
Here are just some of the incredible features of the data set:
Because each record contains multiple conditions related to the death of individiduals or present in the individual at the time of death, it is possible to draw inferences about the relationship among the different conditions, and the likeilhood of co-existences among conditions.
Because demographic information is provided, it is possible to determine the frequency of occurrence of conditions in age groups, ethnic groups, localities, and genders.
Because the organization of records meticulously preserves the order and organization of the original death certificate, it is possible to relate conditions by their order of causation (which conditions lead to which other conditions).
Because the disease conditions are coded with an international standard for diseases (ICD10), all of the disease entries can be understood and correlated with terms from any other data set, coded with the same nomenclature.
Because there are over 2.3 million records in the dataset, it is possible to find significant numbers of cases for hundreds of different conditions.
Because every record conforms to a consistent organization, it is possible to re-organize and merge these records with data from other sources, increasing the value of the original data.
The key file that we will be using is available by anonymous ftp from the CDC server:
Mort99us.zip (88,077,536 bytes)
This file unzips to:
Mort99us.dat (1,058,532,982 bytes)
Each record loods something like this:
Note that this is a composite record selected from string sequences in several different records. I didn't think that it would be necessary or appropriate for me to publish an actual record from the CDC file.
Looking at the record, a seeming jumble of alphanumerics and spaces, you might conclude that extracting any useful information would be a formidable task, well beyond the capacity of non-specialists. Actually, all of the data in the 1+ GByte file can be parsed, re-assembled, and analyzed in a matter of seconds, with a few lines of code that anyone can understand and implement.
In the next week or so, I will show you, step-by-step, how to master the CDC mortality file, using free, open source utilities and a few lines of Perl.
The process is no different than making a cake from a recipe: you assemble your ingredients, follow a series of steps, wait a few moments for the cake to cook, and enjoy the results. In the next blog, I'll show you the ingredients that you must assemble.
As I remind readers in almost every blog post, if you want to do your own creative data mining, you will need to learn a little computer programming.
For Perl and Ruby programmers, methods and scripts for using SEER and other publicly available biomedical databases, are described in detail in my prior books:
Perl Programming for Medicine and Biology
Ruby Programming for Medicine and Biology
An overview of the many uses of biomedical information is available in my book,
Biomedical Informatics.

JANUARY 1 God
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
The very first name used to refer to God in the Bible is Elohim. This
name refers to a God who is three, but also one. This is something that
is difficult for us to grasp. Actually, the word just wants to tell us that
God is the only true God.
Elohim also tells us that God is in control, that he is powerful, that
he is mighty. Yes, as a matter of fact, God is almighty. He is the only
true God among all the gods. He is the greatest of them all. There is
none like him.
How wonderful it is that you and I can have a personal relationship
with this great God. After all, Jesus helped us to make peace with this
God. That is why we needn't be afraid of his all-powerfulness.
We are not afraid that he might destroy us. We are not afraid that he
might kill us. We are not afraid that he will be angry with us, because
Jesus brought us back to him.

Finding Hidden jobs is a skill
There are plenty of jobs out there. That's right — plenty. But they are not being advertised—they aren't publicly announced. They are undercover.
I'm going to help you learn how to find them or actually create them. But first, it's important to understand why they are undercover in the first place.
- Companies want to avoid bad press – They do not want to advertise that they're hiring when they are also letting people go. It hurts their credibility and creates very poor public relations. But the reality is that companies almost always continue to hire even during periods of downsizing.
- They want to minimize spending – Budgets have been slashed, and managers often have to go out on a limb to get someone hired. They don't want to spend hundred or even thousands of dollars on ads or agency fees.
- Job requirements keep changing – It is difficult for hiring managers to define positions when the ground keeps moving beneath them. Therefore, they are often shy about describing a position in an advertisement when job requirements may be very different tomorrow.
- Another reason for not seeing some of the open jobs is that some of them are given to headhunting firms and NEVER advertise the job we work on. This is because they are approaching people that are not looking so that would be a waste of time and money.
So,Don't Look for Jobs. Look for Needs.
Finding needs will get you hired because companies will create ways to bring in the people that can help them meet increased demand. If you can match your skills with a company's needs, you stand an excellent chance of having a job created just for you—which is historically the way the best jobs happen anyway.
How do you find those needs so you can create a job that doesn't exist? There are a few things you need to know:
- Know your targets or potential companies.
- Know if there are enough opportunities in each of your targets: aim for 200 positions in all of your targets combined! That means you will have to include the mid-sized firms that 'you've never heard of' and are more difficult to find.
- Know the issues that you can address and the problems you can solve. You must know the greatest needs of your target companies —as well as the needs of each company you contact. What are the most significant challenges? Do you know the relevant jargon, areas of anticipated decline and areas of expected growth?
- Know how to generate meetings in your targets with possible contacts and references.
- Follow up and turn those meetings into offers.
How to Get Lists of Companies and Identify Issues
Through research you can identify industries and companies—including mid-sized companies to help you expand your search—and uncover the primary issues. You can do the research fast, and with relatively little pain and inconvenience, using the Internet as your North Star and communicating with some niche good consulting companies.
However you decide to research, remember that you are looking for lists of companies, people and issues. If you forget your mission, you will get lost. And be guided by the following questions:
- How is the industry organized? Start with the big picture, looking at an entire industry. Then break it down into its components. What part of it are you interested in? For example, within Healthcare you might be interested in Pharmaceuticals, Biotech, Medical Devices, or Hospital Administration.
- What is the industry profile? Identify what's going on in the industry or segment that you select. What are the key issues, buzzwords, areas of growth and decline, foreseeable threats and areas of opportunity? What are the industry associations? Associations can be unbelievable sources of information. Take a look at their journals, newsletters, membership lists, and conferences. Pay especial attention to conference topics, presenters, and sponsors.
- Do you have your company lists and key players identified? Create your lists and narrow your focus. Identify the main players in the industry (companies and people). You will begin to get an idea if there are enough opportunities for you to target. How many companies are there? See if you can figure out where people go when they leave the major companies—this will often help you identify the medium-sized players. Which ones are public and which ones are private?
- Do you know enough about potential opportunities? Dig deeper into the specific companies you have found in your target. What's going on in each of them? Do they have a special niche or a unique reputation in the industry? What are their competitive position and/or their key differentiation?
- Do you know what job you would aim for? Now you can get more specific. What might your job title be in this industry and in the companies you have identified?
- Who would hire you? Find out the hiring manager's title and name—or the names and titles of people who are one or two levels above you.
- What key problems would you be able to solve? Craft your positioning statement to offer evidence and proof of your expertise. The more people you speak with, the more of an insider you will become in your target industry.
Besides all have a great resume and elaborated cover letter and take the first bold step with confidence.

Quick Tips To Get Rid Of Bad Breath
While bad breath keeps people at bay, with a few preventive measures you can get rid of bad breath effectively.
Bad breath can be the biggest turn off. You can literally see people keep their distance from you if you suffer from bad breath. This is why it is important that you identify its cause so you can treat it effectively.
Bad breath or Halitosis has many causes, some of which include the following along with a few simple tips to help get rid of bad breath effectively:
1. Limit Tobacco Intake.
Tobacco use is a guarantee of bad breath. Quitting smoking or chewing of tobacco will do your oral health a lot of good. When you are ready to quit, ask your doctor or dentist for advice and support.
2. Watch what you eat.
Certain foods, such as garlic, contribute to bad breath. Once they are absorbed into the bloodstream, the smell is expelled through the breath, but the odours remain until the body processes the food, so there's no quick fix.
3. Dry mouth (Xerostomia).
If your mouth is extremely dry, there is not enough saliva to wash away excess food particles and bacteria; which can cause an unpleasant smell. Make sure you flush your mouth with water after every meal to prevent this.
4. Other health issues.
Bad breath that seems to have no other cause may indicate an infection elsewhere in the body. If you have chronic bad breath and your dentist rules out any oral problems, see your doctor for an evaluation. Bad breath can be a sign of a range of conditions including respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis or bronchitis, diabetes, or liver and kidney problems, so it's important not to ignore the problem.
The best way to get rid of bad breath & improve oral health is to follow a thorough dental hygiene routine which includes brushing your teeth twice a day and daily flossing to remove the food particles and bacteria. Mouthwashes help, but they only improve bad breath for the short term. If you have a chronic problem, your dentist may suggest an antimicrobial rinse to help keep bacteria at bay.

Arthritis is a condition that no one loves to hear about. The condition is a joint disorder that can cause pain and inflammation. There are many different forms, causes, and treatments of arthritis. The following article will give you tips to help you identify your arthritis and treat it.
Acupuncture has proven successful at controlling arthritis symptoms in some individuals. Studies have shown that acupuncture offers real pain relief for arthritis sufferers. Acupuncture has a cumulative effect, so you should continue treatments to reap the full benefits of the procedure.
Stop trying to do it all if you have Psoriatic Arthritis. You may experience a depletion of your energy reserves. If you attempt to pretend that things are the same as they were, you will just create more issues for yourself. What's important to you? Place your energies there. It is not necessary for you to take care of everyone and everything.
Arthritis and stress flaring up get social. Having arthritis you might be tempted to stay home don't get out and get social. You will feel more relaxed and calmer when you are interacting with other people, when you are relaxed and calm your stress levels and arthritis will stop flaring.
If you suffer from arthritis in your fingers or your hands, you may want to consider rubbing mineral oil on your hands. The natural ingredients of mineral oil have been proven to ease the pain of arthritis in the hands and fingers. To make this method effective, be sure to put the mineral oil on your hands and then put rubber gloves on them.
A cane will help you take some pressure off your joints. It can be tough, and a lot of people whom suffer from arthritis refuse to use one, because they imagine that it symbolizes a disability. If your pain is lessened by the use of a cane, you will be less disabled with one than without it. Select a cane that matches your personality to help you feel more at ease when using it.
If you suffer from arthritis and you are going to exercise, be sure that you spend enough time stretching before you begin your workout routine. By jumping right into exercising, you are not giving your joints the stretching that they need so that they do not flare up and cause pain.
Use some devices to help you do things that are hard to do. If you're lifting big objects of if you plan to be standing for an extended period of time, be sure to take the precaution to care for your joints due to excess pressures that could damage them further. Avoiding these difficult tasks can mean avoiding joint damage and pain, so keep yourself safe.
Regarding side effects, if your medication is one that may cause fatigue or other similar issues, you may want to discuss finding a different medication with your doctor. Fatigue is already a huge issue for people who suffer from arthritis, and you may not want a medication that is going to further aggravate that.
Many people have found heat and cold treatments to be very good therapy for arthritis. Try using an old pure cotton sock filled with dry rice as an easy, mess-free method of applying either heat or cold. Put it in a plastic bag in the freezer to prepare for cold therapy. Pop it in the microwave briefly to prepare it for heat therapy.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis may go into remission for years and may seem to be cured; however, it can come back in full force at any time. For this reason, it is very important for young people with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis to continue exercising and following a proper, anti-inflammatory, weight control diet. This will help control pain and symptoms if/when the disease returns.
Get rid of any worn out and old shoes that have been beat up after constant use. Worn out shoes can cause tension and pressure on your joints and will not offer the support your feet require. So, replace your worn out shoes promptly.
Do not be uncomfortable about asking for help or finding someone who can help you in times of discomfort just by being there or giving you an ear to listen to. Having a support system of close friends or family will help you take some of the worry and stress out of your daily routine just by being able to talk or have a shoulder to lean on.
Make sure you get enough sleep. Not sleeping enough will cause fatigue and stress, which can make arthritis worst. You should get at least eight hours of sleep every night and keep a regular schedule. Do not hesitate to take naps during the day if you feel you need to.
Regular exercise can help you manage the pain which is associated with arthritis. Your doctor can recommend an exercise program for you. Some physicians elect to send their arthritis patients to a physical therapist or an occupational therapist to have them design an exercise program for them to follow.
As stated before in the article above, no one loves arthritis. It is a degenerative joint disorder that causes inflammation and pain. It can be caused by many different things and have many different forms, resulting in many possible treatments. The tips from the article above will allow you to identify and treat arthritis and help to eliminate the pain.

A lot of home owners are getting their hands on fog misting systems because they have seen what these systems are able to provide the outside of their home. It is a mistake for a lot of people to think that these fog misting systems are just new because there is no denying that these systems have been existing for quite some time already. Aside from the traditional purpose of having these systems around to provide some cooling, there are also other users to them that not a lot of people are well aware of.
Before you know what their other purposes are, you must first know the basics about them, the first one being that they make use of high pressure misting so that they can create fine water droplets. If you want to know how tiny these particles are, you should know that they range from 20 to 30 microns in terms of size. If you compare this to a typical water droplet, then you should know that they measure more or less 200 microns. When it comes to fog misters, their nozzles are able to deliver water in high pressure because they only have small holes and at the same time, they also come with pumps that can help in increasing the pressure of the mister so that water will be delivered. As the water gets up and reaches gets in touch with air, evaporation process takes place – this is then the part where you will expect to have some cool air with you.
Commercial misting systems have long been used by several commercial establishments. In greenhouse establishments, making use of theme park fog systems is important because it keeps the temperature as well as the humidity of the environment of the best levels. You have two main options to have greenhouse fogging systems, the first one being used with a timer and the second one being with the use of a sensor to know if it is time for them to be turned on.
When you work in the food establishment, the food that you are storing must be maintained at a certain temperature as well as a certain humidity level for them to be in good condition. When you get a fog misting system, both the temperature and the humidity of the place that you store them will be maintained. It is important for these commercial misting systems to be used because they can help in ensuring that humidity levels will be maintained that best work for food while making sure that the surroundings that are around them will not be wet at all.
Always remember that when you work for this kind of industry, you must make sure that the place where you are storing your food is not suitable of getting molds. To read more about the benefits of Fog Misting, go to https://www.britannica.com/science/fog.

EDO Lab begins manufacture of SHAW VISION® Lenses!
March 1, 2017 – Dallas, TX – ELEVATE DIGITAL OPTICS (www.myedolab.com) is pleased to announce that it has finalized an agreement to manufacture ophthalmic lenses under license from SHAW VISION, Inc. EDO lab is a full service digital lens manufacturer that is at the forefront in spectacle lens technology. EDO's president, Alan Yuster, is excited to welcome Shaw Technology into its catalogue that now services consumers seeking the latest and most advanced corrective lenses and including the medically focused lens technologies from Shaw Vision.
Shaw Vision® is the world leader and largest supplier of iseikonic and isophoric prescription eyeglass lens technology. Shaw Technology is available in single vision, bifocal and progressive addition lens designs. Shaw Vision utilizes wavefront digital ray path technologies to provide not only clear vision in all gaze directions but also maintains coordinated eye movements through the elimination of static and dynamic aniseikonia. Shaw Vision's founder and chief scientist, Dr. Peter Shaw, (optometrist and adjunct research professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada) received patents for the technology in 2013.
Aniseikonia is an eye condition that is defined by an inequality of images perceived in the brain and causes a loss of binocular vision. It's chief cause is from the use of ordinary prescription eyeglasses for the correction of anisometropia. Anisometropia is a common ocular condition wherein the prescription for each eye is of a different numerical value. Studies indicate that anisometropia affects about one in five individuals and is the leading cause of problems associated with eyeglass wear. Problems associated with aniseikonia include non-adaptation to glasses, headaches, dizziness, poor reading, suppression and loss of depth perception.
SHAW Vision Technology is the gold standard in treating refractive amblyopia the leading cause of blindness in North American children. SHAW Vision technology is the preferred eyeglass therapy for individuals with prescription changes due to refractive surgery such as LASIK® or cataract surgery with intra-ocular lenses.

A wood working tutorial on how to build a corner built-in outdoor bench. This corner has always been a little bit of a "dead man's land" tucked all the way back behind our home. I had considered a little seating area and even thought about building a tall pub table here but it didn't feel like that was utilizing the space as well as it could be. A friend of mine has an outdoor bench running literally around her entire deck in place of a railing and the amount of seating offered is just amazing. However, we have way more deck then she does and certainly don't need that much bench! But this corner spoke to me as being the perfect place for an L-shaped outdoor bench!
I built my smaller bench first by building a rectangle out of 2x4s and adding legs where they were needed. I didn't see any reason to add legs to my benches where the deck already had posts so I kept that in mind as I was building. I went on to build the much longer bench (over 10 feet!) also with legs only where they were needed. Because of the distance I chose to cut my 8 foot 2x4s so the "seem" would land on one of the posts instead of requiring to add two legs in a weird spot. I flipped my benches "right-side-up" then attached them to each other before screwing them to the main posts.
Next I just needed to cut around eight million 24 inch boards for the seats… I set my miter saw up outside for this (thank you Joe for the awesome Xmas present of a miter saw stand on wheels!!) so I didn't have to measure every board! Then I just stood there and cut and cut and cut. I used the deck as best I could for a saw horse but in the end it was kind of a pain in the butt because green treated wood is so heavy.
Step 1: Building the Back of the Bench
With the seat complete I moved on to the back of the bench. I wanted to create a little bit of a slant so I screwed a deck board all the way around the back of the bench pressed tight against the deck posts – with it laying down flat it was 5 1/2″ from the back of the bench to the front of the board. Then I duplicated that board where the top of the back rest would land, screwing it to the deck posts all the way around above the benches. Then it was just a case of putting another two million 24″ boards on, lining them up with the bottom seat boards. (Because the slant was not very severe I didn't feel the need to miter any of them.) SO, pretty much I just stood there and cut 24″ boards for most of the day…
With the majority of the outdoor bench complete I just needed to figure out what I wanted to do in the corner. Using a scrap piece of wood I created a support across the top of the corner and across the base. This gave me a place to put one more board. I considered doing something a lot more complicated in the corner but I didn't hate this both in looks and in functionality… UPDATE: it has become my favorite spot to sit and read actually!
Step 2: Finished Bench and Completion
I also went ahead and screwed all of the 2×4 legs down to the deck. The spool was a gift from Joe, he was so excited to be bringing me something home from a job site one day but he wouldn't tell me what it was! And then he pulled in with that awesome spool in his truck bed – that man really does know how to make his wife happy With the bench complete this no-man's land (that we had all but just given to our current raccoon visitor and the squirrels) has now become our favorite outdoor escape. Eventually we plan on covering the back bottom of the bench (on the outside of the deck) with lattice like we did along the bottom.
(I used green treated wood on this project which is made to be outdoors – it is more expensive then regular pine and considered very toxic. We live in northern MN and I know folks with cedar decks who watched them degrade within only 5 years of having put them in so, honestly, there was no choice but to use green treated wood on this project. Green treated anything requires up to a year to fully out gas and dry out which is why I built them in the late summer to give them the entire fall, winter and next spring to sit and do their thing.)

Looks like the benches are made out of palettes, which would be quite clever. Great looking benches.
I just built a bench for our deck as well and we love it. Yours turned out fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!

This is THE WEDNESDAY.
How do you do?
This is THE WEDNESDAY.
The sound [ like crazy ] earnestly influenced by the British Rock, the delicate melody earnestly brainwashed with J-POP, and the words which were (un-) freedom wild and filled to love.
These triangles it is the band ensemble which expands and soaks them in a margin the fruits of prohibition that bilinguals and multilinguals have.
Nobody's life "understands well where it is going" .
Music of THE WEDNESDAY is too.
The principle of living is accepting reality and enjoying,crying,smiling and believing tomorrow.
If they call "hope"commonly, I would like to sing "hope" with might and main.
It is a motif which composes and expresses music.
The time is coming.
THE WEDNESDAY plays the melody that nobody was able to sound until now.
I need your help well.
Activity and release of THE WEDNESDAY is on Wednesday.
every week or biweekly or every other month!?
THE WEDNESDAY is very freedom.
Please enjoy the wonderful"Wednesday" that is middle of a week♪

Well we survived the move, just. It was a bit stressful but nothing major went wrong so I am very thankful for that. The only hiccups involved the removalists arriving much later than they had originally said both for pick up and delivery which resulted in some inconvenience for us, but mostly for Troys mum who kindly hung around at the apartment to supervise the packing while we headed off early with the cats in order to get to Cooma before the real estate closed for the day so we could get the keys to our new house. While I had previously been advised the truck would arrive between 8 and 11am it didnt turn up until about 5pm!!! It arrived 24 hours later - thankfully there is a street light directly out front because we were helping unload the truck long after the sun had set.
The first night we were here we had a kettle and some blankets and not a whole lot else. Our bed was a pile of doonas on the floor, so we were determined to at least get the bed together after the removalists left on our second night before we passed out. The first priority the next morning of course was getting the kitchen set up and the books unpacked. I'm afraid to say we havent gotten much further than that... we got distracted.
The gardens here are hardly worthy of being called gardens at all. It is nothing but weeds everywhere with a few overgrown roses in the front and some shrubs and cherry-blossom type trees down the side between the house and the side paddock.
We have done quite a bit of work so far which I will prove with photos, ah..sometime. I have given the roses a hard pruning and cut the dead wood out of one of the bushes at the side as well as a lot of trimming and tidying. We have constructed a nice big compost heap to collect all the garden waste which hopefully I will be able to get the recipe right for, and create some nice sweet compost for the garden. We also have spent a lot of time clearing out a rectangular bed in the front, loosening the soil and removing all the weeds and digging in some mushroom compost and chook poo to get it ready for immediate planting - which I did today. The rest of the front we will sheet mulch and I will probably put in a green manure crop to build up the o.m. in the soil and get it ready for autumn plantings.
I have already sheet mulched down one side of the veggie plot between it and the fence to suppress the weeds but there is still a lot to go - think I might need to ask the neighbours and the newsagent for any newspapers they dont need!
I have so many plans for this place so I really hope we will be able to continue renting it until we buy our own land, but if not we will have gotten fit and tanned and learnt a lot in the process :)
Well, I am falling asleep at the desk now so I think it is time to curl up with a good book and refresh myself, ready for a busy weekend...details to come ;)

KPMG Belgium, specialized in audit, consultancy and tax services, has moved into their new offices at Brussels National Airport today. The independent law firm K law, which forms a cost group with KPMG Belastingconsulenten (Tax Advisers), has also taken up residence in the new building at the airport. KPMG moved into the Post X site in Antwerp Berchem last month as well.
The new KPMG headquarters, which are designed by the architectural firm Jaspers & Eyers and developed by the project developer Codic, answers to the needs of a modern business. It accomplishes this both with a focus on transparency through the windows and lighting and by reducing our ecological footprint through energy efficiency. The entire building provides approximately 28,000 square meters of office space in total, spread over ten floors, of which KPMG occupies about half. Besides KPMG, various other companies, including Microsoft – with whom KPMG has formed a global alliance – will take up residence in the new building.
Koen Maerevoet, CEO of KPMG in Belgium: "By moving to a mobility hub, we increase the range of transportation available to our clients and staff. The airport is very easy to reach, not just by car, but also by alternative methods of transportation such as trains or buses. And thanks to the recent relocation of the Antwerp KPMG office, which is now near the Berchem station, employees also have a direct rail connection between the Brussels and Antwerp offices." Since the beginning of this year, KPMG has offered employees a full mobility package, to be invested in transportation as they see fit. "This way, we actively contribute to tomorrow's mobility solutions."
Accessibility and mobility are important factors in opting for this location, but the presence of many other leading companies at and near the airport was key as well. "The airport is an important center of economic growth and a gateway to the rest of Europe and the world. In a rapidly evolving business environment, with clients relying on transnational advice, this provides important added value," according to Maerevoet.
For KPMG, the move also involves a new way of working, in which multidisciplinary service teams can collaborate more efficiently in a customized environment and use state-of-the-art technology.
Finally, the new offices at Brussels Airport significantly reduce KPMG's ecological footprint, as this building boasts the BREAMM (construction sustainability assessment method) rating 'very good'. "Together with our mobility approach, this is a major element of our quest for sustainable growth," concludes Koen Maerevoet.

No one should have expected much from Raw on Monday night. After all, it was airing on Memorial Day and holidays always hurt viewership of the WWE flagship program. Making it even worse was that it also went up against the highly anticipated Game 7 between the Warriors and Thunder.
So it's no surprise that the show has its share of hiccups. Shane and Stephanie McMahon tried to promote the upcoming brand split, which backfired and somehow ended in a dance routine. Roman Reigns once again bragged about being "the" guy with Seth Rollins teasing to fight him multiple times, only to walk away without saying a word.

The show did get on track during the second half with the return of John Cena as well as AJ Styles surprisingly reuniting with his old buddies. Several other rivalries got underway with the show capped off by a good wrestling match between Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, and Cesaro against Kevin Owens, Alberto Del Rio, and Chris Jericho.
Add to that another purplexing segment featuring the Women's champion Charlotte and a surprise appearance by Goldberg during the Raw broadcast — just not in a wrestling capacity.
All it all, it was quite the night in Green Bay. Here are the five things we learned from Raw on Monday night.

From Drive
Gee the headlights are a little sleeker, but not sleek enough. And what about that grill. I think I have seen something similar elsewhere.
This is the Taurus.
I think the decision has been made for the replacement of the Falcon and this MkII FG design is a lead in to the Taurus.
"Just this week Ford design chief J Mays conceded a switch to the front all-wheel drive underpinnings of the US Taurus model was a possibility."

"Oi2" is an acronym that when pronounced in phonetically in Spanish it reads, "oidos" ("ears" in English depicting an audio-inclined user experience). The Oi2 app is both a Mobile (iOS and Android) and IPTV enabled OTT content platform via an over-the-top TV app, as well as, encompassing its own TV hardware set-top box. The app has two main menu functions. These are mainly "Live" and "On Demand" content. Under "Live" we have hundreds of live and linear radio channels of all kinds of genres and formats available in multiple languages (mainly: Spanish; English; Portuguese). Live also consists of hundreds of free and paid TV channels for a supplement to wired CATV/DBS services. On the On Demand side, we have literally thousands of current title and current season prime time TV shows from most major broadcast and cable television networks on an a-la-carte free and pay-per-view or purchase-to-own basis. We also have a vast library of current title movies and radio shows on demand.
The app encompasses four distinct and relevant technologies that are integrated into an easy to experience user interface. These are mainly:
Digital Video and Audio Programmatic Enabled Advertising Insertions associated with each live linear audio and video channels and/or on demand content.
A unique sound technology that is designed to enhance the user audio experience in a customized fashion according to the audio abilities of each individual user.
Integration of virtual reality technology to enable maximized visual experiences creating personal 3D and iMAX-like experiences in relation to the content provide.
Inclusion of a technology called, "Oi2 CaraScan." This is an artificial intelligence human emotional response dashboard that is enabled by an algorithm that captures all forms of user reactions in respect to content engagement. This tool may be used to conduct unbiased judging of talent, opinion polls, and honest reactions to TV, social media, and audio-visual content.

First thoughts on the Game of Thrones special
- Holy crap, Arya's quote about nothing! They are really setting up the Braavos storyline, aren't they?
- Holy crap, that money-shot of Meereen! The city looks freakingly awesome. The pyramides, the Harpy...man! Nailed it.
- Brienne bites someone's ear off and spits it in his face? Some storylines got seriously mixed up. Whose will it be? Can't be anyone in King's Landing, I guess, so I expect her journey into the countryside from AFFC to start in season 4.
- Oberyn is build up intentionally as a long-term major character. Will be a nice surprise for the Unsullied.
- Man, Bran looks OLD now. The clear disadvantage of child-actors. Isaac Hempstead-Wright is aging much more visibly than any of the others so far.
- Jaime's part in everything gets beefed up a bit, but as it seems to me with minor consequences for the general plot.
- Why did Ramsay have all these wounds on his body? Sado-Masochism?
- The Hound is also portrayed as a major character, so no Braavos this season for Arya, instead beefed up Riverlands.
- Jon and Sam interactions will become interesting. Love Kit Harrington complaining he doesn't get badass quotes. Yeah, that's Jon Snow in a nutshell.
- Hazzeah bites the dust in this season. Episode 10?
- So excited about this!

What about that money shot of a grown up drogon? Though it seemed to me like he will murder an adult instead of a child because of that scene on the preview, but we shall see.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2014 at 9:50 PM
I'm pretty sure that's a different scene, maybe where they try to capture him. The child-killing is probably gonna be off-screen, that way the viewers can share Dany's shock.Delete

Yeah I though of that as well, but you know, sometimes they alter some scenes from the book, I reckoned that might be one of then (to spare critics from overly sensitive viers and whatnot)Delete

Is this a disadvantage? Shouldn't he be aging as the series goes on, more or less in real time?Replies
Unfortunately, the series covers four years, the story oneandahalf. :)Delete

Brienne's laugh is the best part of the whole thing! And that's against some pretty great stuff. Looking forward to the season and I'm actually glad there's going to be more room for Jaime. He'll fit in well with the events in KL, I think, and it will be really great to have the different Lannisters together. I actually prefer it this way (well, so far, hopefully they play it well).ReplyDelete
can we expect a Boiled Leather Audio Hour discussing this preview?ReplyDelete
Specifically, certain things revealed here may suggest they are speeding up certain storylines, which may mean something down the line with regards to show catching up to books for example)Replies
We haven't discussed it yet, but I would tend to no. Not really enough in there, I guess.Delete

I believe they are going to devode Theons storyline this year with filler material, namely Kyra's attempted escape or something borrowing from that backstage material. But personally I am much more excited to know what the hell they re thinking of assigning to Asha or Yara or whatever! (I bet she wonders around doing nothing and ends up being capture by the Baratheon everyone loves to hate)Delete

Kyra's scaping wouldn't be filler. It really happens in the book, and it would serve the purpose of showing how much of a twisted sadistic bastard Ramsay is.Delete
About Yara, if your bet is she wonders around doing nothing (I doubt it) why the excitement?
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2014 at 8:23 AM
I like that they're showing Jaime and Tyrion's relationship more onscreen. Because they don't have access to the inner monologues and memories of the books, Jaime and Tyrion's relationship hasn't really been explored much in the show beyond those couple of scenes they had together in the pilot. The Purple Wedding looks incredible, I'm glad they're staging it outside.ReplyDelete
I just want to know what on earth was going on with Bran's hair? I don't think it's really that much of a problem that the kids are ageing at a faster rate than the books, they haven't really acknowledged how much time passes in the show, and I've kind of learned to just ignore the weird relationship with time this show sometimes has.
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2014 at 4:27 PM
Gwendoline's comment about the ear threw me off, too. My first instinct was that it was referring to Vargo Hoat/Locke and her attempted rape at Harrenhal, as in the books, but I feel like that wasn't actually in the show. Maybe she gets attacked in KL this season?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 12, 2014 at 7:43 AM
Don't know if it was mentioned, but the scene where jaime is sparring / training doesn't look like it's with Ilyn Payne, I got the impression it looked like Brom, it's an interesting way of increasing his on-screen time and will surely provide some funny dialogue between him and Jaime.....or maybe I'm just seeing things.ReplyDelete
Everything you said, I agree with, especially the first thing. I kinda like what they did with Arya, the fact that the character's been aged up gives her much more room also for intellectual growth. Very interesting.ReplyDelete

2017 Westway Scholarship Winner Announced
Westway Electric Supply is pleased to announce Hunter D., a graduate of Quest Early College High School in Humble, TX, as the recipient of the 2017 "Illuminating Ideas" scholarship essay competition. Hunter will be attending Texas Tech University this fall.
This year, students were asked to describe three ways that their school is currently wasting or misusing energy and to provide solutions to overcome the misuse and become more energy-efficient. After reading many great submissions, Hunter's suggestions were simple and realistic and could easily be put into effect.
We want to thank all of the participants in this year's scholarship essay contest and wish them the best of luck in their upcoming school year! Other types of a scholarship in USA for international student will be available next year.
Below, you can read Hunter's winning entry in its entirety:
My School: Evaluating Energy Conservation
I attend Quest Early College High School and my school misuses energy by over printing paper, leaving lights on and keeping computers on. By looking into these three ways of abusing energy, resolutions can be made.
Printers in my school cause our carbon emissions to grow. Each day my school prints thousands of paper and half of them sit on the printers to be thrown away. If we only printed papers that were a necessity and stopped over printing, we could not only save trees but also save the electricity needed to print those papers. Each paper by itself does not take much energy but when you print hundreds of papers at one time, it begins to add up. The same thing occurs when you leave lights on, the energy waste builds up. Another way we can save energy is by turning off the printers overnight. Leaving a printer on "wastes enough energy to make 30 cups of tea" ("Environment and Energy"). By turning off energy sources my school can reduce our carbon discharges on the world.
Another way that my school abuses the use of energy is by leaving lights on. My school's bathroom lights are on constantly. When we were located at Lonestar College Atascosita the bathroom lights were motion censored. This helps reduce the use of lights when no one is using them. The University of Cambridge put out a letter of statistics regarding being green and in the article the author states, "Turning off unneeded lights could remove 171 kg (376 lb) of CO2 emissions per year". Using motion censored lights would help save my school money on electricity. Another way to reduce electricity use is by ensuring all lights are turned off at the end of each day. The University of Cambridge also stated, "Each light left on overnight over a year costs your department £24" ("Environment and Energy"). To make this statistic a bit more close to home, one light left on would cost approximately thirty dollars in American currency.
The final way my school wastes energy is by misusing desktops in the computer labs. When students are not in class or are not using them, the computer monitors should be turned off to preserve energy. Leaving monitors on overnight uses the same amount of energy to laser print five-hundred pages ("Environment and Energy"). A monitor uses a third of the computer's energy while it is in use. Turning the monitor off while it is not being used causes a great deal of energy to be saved. Turning the brightness of the PC screen down from one-hundred percent to seventy percent can "save up to 20% of the energy the monitor uses"("Environment and Energy"). By appropriately turning off the desktops, my institute can be greener.
In conclusion, my school can reduce our footprint by switching off printers, turning off lights, and monitoring the computers. This cannot be accomplished by one person. The whole school needs to be involved if we want to make a difference in our community. By coming together as a school, this could spark a fire in the community to save energy by doing small tasks. In the end, all it takes to save energy is people and inclination to work.

Westway Announces the 2016 Scholarship Runner-up and Honorable Mention
Westway would like to thank all who participated in our essay competition. There were some fantastic essays submitted and we heard a lot of really great ideas. Of the many great essays submitted, there were a few that really stood out. We are pleased to announce Doryotta H. as the runner-up for our 2016 scholarship essay competition. Doryotta's essay can be read in its entirety below:
Houston, Texas: the sprawling city that hosts an average annual temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit and from which many urban buildings sprout amidst a thick blanket of frequent humidity. Although these large buildings give the city a technologically advanced atmosphere, they also cast a looming prediction: by 2025, larger buildings are to be biggest energy consuming sector, even outcompeting the industrial sector. Many of these larger buildings house corporate headquarters, but many are also schools; schools, which to function on a daily basis, consume an enormous amount of energy. After some research about my school district, I learned that my high school's greatest energy consumptions rise from air conditioning units, pool pumps with Intex sand filter, light fixtures, and computers.
When imagining a school atmosphere, we hear the buzz of student chatter, classes in session, and perhaps the frantic erasing of graphite on Calculus tests; in my school, however, it is different. Instead of the vivacious youth, we hear the mechanical struggles of air conditioning units lining the hallway walls and resting in classrooms. Although these machines may not seem like unnecessary additions to the campus because of Houston's hot temperatures, these units actually gobble up thousands of Watts of energy every hour to cool classrooms down to temperatures as low as 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If the overall number of air conditioning units were to be reduced, by, for example, only installing them in classes and not in halls, the school's overall electricity consumption would decrease because there would be less demand for those precious Watts. A much simpler way to increase energy efficiency, however, is to simply raise the cooling settings to a higher temperature so the machine would not have to work overtime in maintaining a ridiculously low temperature throughout the entire school. After all, by opening doors and windows, the warm air rushing in and the cool air rushing out is a problem in maintaining constant indoor temperatures. To solve this issue of open windows and doors letting out cooled air, the installation of revolving doors wherever possible is an action to take. These doors reduce the draft between air conditioned and non-air conditioned areas, holding back more of the cooler air.
Although an indispensable feature for creating a good learning environment, ceiling lights utilize high voltage energy to bring us the gift of being able to actually being able to see what the teacher writes on the board. Several ways to solve this issue include widening window frames to let in more natural light that would not utilize the amount and kind of energy a light bulb would require. Also in terms of altering it physically, an institution could install solar panels on the rooftop to power the school during the day; after all, a school day is an activity which is usually carried out in during the day. By further storing the unused energy captured from the photovoltaic cells in batteries, the school could still supply light energy to teachers who, for example, stay in class until the late evening, grading papers. In this case, there would have to be a compromise between non-renewable and renewable energy; but even if light bulbs prove unavoidable, energy star approved light bulbs can conserve from 25-80% more energy than a regular, non-ES approved light bulbs[1] and can even last longer to conserve energy for a greater time period.
Considered one of my high school's top classes, AP Computer Science dominates the category of having the largest number of computers and other technologically based energy consumptions. Every day, the distinct tapping of computer keys fill the room with a symphony of technological greatness. However, these opportunities to study the language of a computerized world come at another great electrical energy price. To save energy, the computer science department could do any of the following, first being simply turning off all computers when not in use. This method locks the computer from utilizing any energy it would it were to be kept turned on. Since products that are still plugged in, even though not in use, can continue to draw energy from their respective wall outlets, a more effective method would be to install a master switch, which, when clicked, would cut off all energy going to anything still plugged in, even if turned off. Not only would this decrease the risk of having a computer left turned on after a busy day, but also help stop it from utilizing energy throughout the night.
Our society today is obsessed with energy and school districts cannot function without it. Although 100% energy efficiency is an extremely difficult state to achieve, there are several ways to implement changes to conserve unused and to spare surplus energy. These changes can come in the form of additions to function and structure, as well as in the shape of altering energy usage habits.
The competition's honorable mention goes to Mimi N. Mimi's essay can be read in its entirety below:
To whom it may concern,
The University of Pittsburgh is located in a region that is very unique compared to other colleges in the nation. Sprawled across the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains with rivers running on either side, the campus is an extraordinary clash of Mother Nature and the city of Pittsburgh. Just walk down Fifth Avenue, one of the main roads that meanders throughout campus, and you will see a prime example of this clash in the undergraduate dormitory, Nordenberg Hall. This dormitory is not only home to hundreds of freshman, but also the recipient of a silver Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. As the newest dormitory on campus that is highly praised for its green and sustainable features, it's no wonder why every incoming freshman picks it as their top choice for on-campus housing.
However, as you are standing in front of Nordenberg Hall on Fifth Avenue, make sure to turn around to check out Litchfield Towers, a complex of dormitories that houses 1,000+ students on a total of 60 floors. Standing opposite of each other on Fifth Avenue, the two buildings make an impressive sight. Yet there is a large difference between the two structures that is rather concerning. Why is it that Litchfield Towers, a dormitory that holds far more many students than Nordenberg, has not been updated to meet the standards in which Nordenberg has set in terms of sustainability? Surely the university, who has prided on being listed in the Princeton Review's Guide to 353 Green Colleges for four consecutive times, realizes that it is leaving out an essential part of campus that plays an important role in many students' lives. While it would be inconvenient to relocate 1,000+ students to renovate Towers, it is possible to pursue small-scale projects that will allow the building to better fit in with the culture of sustainability on campus.
The first of these small-scale projects is to incorporate occupancy sensor control lighting in the hallways. As an undergraduate student who used to live in Towers, I know that these hallways are always lit 24/7. With the exception of the lights in front of the emergency signs, it is not necessary to have all lights on at full strength all the time. In fact, the bathrooms in Towers have occupancy sensor control lights. More times than not, the bathroom actually has more people in it than in the hallways. Therefore – if the bathrooms have sensor control lights, it would only make sense that the hallways should also have the same lighting. Not to mention, use of occupancy sensor lights can reduce energy consumption up to approximately 30%. One compact fluorescent lightbulb is about 13-15 kilowatts. A hallway consists of at least twenty lightbulbs and with a total of 60 floors, that is approximately 15,600 kilowatts. With the incorporation of sensor lights, we can save up to 4,680 kilowatts annually. With these rough statistics in mind, it is imperative that the university who celebrated 2015 as the "Year of Sustainability" realizes how inefficient lighting is in one of the biggest dormitories on campus. Replacing these lights is essential in creating a more energy efficient environment.
Another project involves extracting hydroelectricity from a source that is often overlooked – toilet flushing. Because they are so old and overused, the motion sensors on the toilets in Towers tend to overreact and cause flushing to occur excessively and randomly. In other words, there are 300+ toilets in Towers combined that are wasting gallons of water due to over-sensitive sensors. Instead of squandering away a couple thousands of dollars to replace the sensors, it would be a better investment to implement turbines in the pipes that connect the toilets. Through this method, water flowing downwards creates energy that can be sent to a separate power grid. This technology is recent, and so far only the city of Portland, Oregon uses it. Thus, by implementing this alternative energy source, the University of Pittsburgh would set itself as one of the leading universities in the nation that is open-minded to apply innovative ways of conserving energy.
A third option also involves using another alternative energy source – solar energy. Litchfield Towers is not only the largest complex of dormitories, but the tallest (224.4 feet) at the University of Pittsburgh. Each Tower is circular shaped with numerous windows encircling the building. While the Towers are not designed to hold long-term projects like green roofs without causing major disturbances in students' daily lives, it is possible to update the normal windows to solar powered windows. Companies like Solaria insert 2.5 millimeter strips of photovoltaic cells between glass layers in windows. The best part is that these strips are undetectable by the human eye. With each Tower being circular-shaped, this means that all windows get some exposure to sunlight and if solar powered, will each get a turn producing energy we can use. Solar powered windows are creative methods of updating old campus buildings like Litchfield Towers to the green standards set by Nordenberg Hall.
On a campus that strives to successfully combine a culture of sustainability into a city landscape, it is important that every acre of land and every edifice is involved. The best course of action is to give attention to the rest of campus that has yet to contribute – starting with Litchfield Towers, which has the potential to impact thousands of students' lives. Adding these three sustainable features to outdated buildings like Litchfield Towers will help highlight the unique harmony between city and sustainability found at the University of Pittsburgh. While price may be a cause for concern, the future environmental benefits make the endeavor worth it –many alumni, faculty, undergraduates, and graduates would wholeheartedly agree. With majority support, fundraising and petitioning for subsidies and/or grants would be easier to obtain. Besides, should cost be a major worry when the reward is bound to be plentiful?

2016 Westway Scholarship Winner Announced
Westway Electric Supply is pleased to announce Grant D., a graduate of Stanton College Preparatory School in Jacksonville, FL , as the recipient of the 2016 "Illuminating Ideas" scholarship essay competition.
Students were asked to describe how their school is currently wasting or misusing energy, and to provide realistic solutions for how the school can become more energy-efficient. After reading many great submissions, Grant's suggestions, research and passion for his school really stood out.
Below, you can read Grant's winning entry in its entirety:
While my school, Stanton College Preparatory School in Jacksonville, Florida, has set a high standard in terms of academic achievement, we still have a long way to go in order say the same for our energy efficiency and environmental footprint. It is true that we have made significant strides towards decreasing energy usage, through measures such as a partial replacement of incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, but there are still multitudes of ways in which we can improve upon this progress. Pursuing and publicizing an initiative to make our high school more energy efficient will help the school save money, which can be used to purchase educational materials such as textbooks and computers, reduce its environmental impact, and send a strong message to students about the importance of conservation.
My proposed energy-saving measures are as follows: first, to correct energy misuse from inefficient and unnecessary lighting, we must make a sweeping conversion to LED lighting, coupled with the installation of motion sensor switches in lieu of traditional light switches. We must also implement more stringent thermostat monitors and controls to correct waste from our heating and cooling system, and repaint the black asphalt roofs of our academic buildings white, which will decrease energy costs during hotter months.
According to the Alliance to Save Energy, lighting accounts for nearly 50% of the electric bill in most schools, so naturally lighting should be an area of intense scrutiny when considering energy saving measures. First and foremost, a complete transition needs to be made from incandescent and compact fluorescent lighting to LED lighting. In some classrooms and offices, incandescent lighting is still being used, despite its general phase-out nationwide in offices, schools, and other public spaces. While incandescent bulbs are inexpensive, they have high operating costs, short lifespans, and are very inefficient, operating on four times as much power as a compact fluorescent bulb and even more for an LED bulb to produce the same intensity of light. Compact fluorescent bulbs, which have supplanted incandescent light in many of our school buildings, still have a higher operating cost than LED lights, do not turn on instantaneously and contain small quantities of the toxic element Mercury. A chart highlighting the comparative advantages of LED lighting is provided below:
|LED Bulbs vs. CFL And Incandescent
|60 Watt Incandescent
|15 Watt CFL
|8 Watt LED
|Life Span
|1200 hours
|8000 hours
|25000-50000 hours
|Energy To Equal 60W Incandescent
|15 watts
|8 watts
|Yearly Energy Cost Per 20 bulbs
|Contains Mercury?
|Comes On Instantly?
Additionally, I have frequently observed that a number of unoccupied classrooms and offices remain lit for long stretches of time after school, a result of habitual behaviors and simple negligence. To correct this blatant waste of energy, motion sensor switches should be installed as an alternative to manual switches for lighting circuits wherever possible. These devices are already in use in a few areas of the school, including some restrooms. However, a school wide expansion should produce energy savings that far outweigh initial costs. In fact, some motion sensor switches are very inexpensive, such as the Morris 80520 150 OCC Sensor, featured on the Westway Electric Supply website, which runs for less than $20.
Another important area of energy misuse to address is the problems in our temperature control system. In North Florida, central AC is a necessity during spring and summer months, while heating is still important during the winter. However, current heating and air conditioning policy not only wastes energy, but creates environments that are uncomfortable to learning. I hear very often complaints from students, teachers, and faculty alike that some indoor temperatures are too warm in the winter and too cool in the summer, caused in part by the eclectic, hodge-podge patchwork of thermostat controls around the school. A simple solution would be to install thermostat monitors and controls to regulate indoor temperatures within specific boundaries, perhaps a widely recommended maximum of 68degrees Fahrenheit during cooler periods and a minimum of 78 degrees Fahrenheit during warmer ones.
Lastly, I believe that my school's black, asphalt roofing constitutes a waste of energy in that its high rate of heat absorption is unnecessary given the climate in our area. Repainting roofing surfaces white should dramatically raise their albedo, or surface reflectivity, and cool them by margins of around 40 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer. The roofing of three out of the four major buildings on our campus is comprised of black asphalt; the US Department of Energy estimates that painting the roof of a one-story residence white may produce savings of 15% per year on air conditioning, and it is not unreasonable to expect similar savings for our school. This particular measure could also be a great way to involve the student body in making our school more energy efficient. If potential logistical and legal challenges could be overcome, broad student participation in such a project would go a long way in communicating the importance of individual involvement in energy conservation.
To reiterate, despite the significant steps that my school has taken to reduce its energy usage and environmental impact, there is still much work needed to be done. From my perspective, inefficient lighting left on when not needed, regulatory problems with our heating and air conditioning systems and an outmoded roofing structure constitute our three most significant wastes and misuses of energy. These problems may be rectified by installing more energy efficient lighting and occupancy sensors, setting thermostat monitors and controls, and repainting our black asphalt roofing. Doing so will save money, benefit the environment, and help to teach students the importance of individual and local initiatives.
