Want to help me build my house?
Why a zero-energy-house is not economical in terms of energy needs, and what would be more efficient and economical
My partner wants us to build a new house. I'm against a new building - that is, unless it costs less to heat and cool than an old building. Do you think you can help us figure out how to design such a house?
The problem with current low-energy houses
Europe, and Germany in particular, is quite hot on energy-saving construction techniques. But I'm a hands-on homeowner and I'm no fan of these new passive house designs - in my experience, insulating actually drives up the energy costs. Want to know why?
1) The demand for fresh air. Zero-energy houses are designed to be air-tight. And we people have a strong desire for fresh air - so strong, that we open the windows every day to trade the... more »

Case Study: Cuba's holistic approach to health
Cuba's health system works because it does one thing that other system's don't: It "fosters a holistic approach centered around on a relationship with a primary-care physician."
The holistic approach doesn't just assess your physical condition, but also your environment, stress level, mental condition, and how all of these factors play together. That goes a long way to helping people stay healthy, allows doctors to identify risks early, and take preventative measures accordingly.
As a poor country, Cuba can't afford to equivocate and waste money on health care. Much advanced technology is unavailable. So the system is forced instead to keep people healthy. ... It's largely done, as the BBC has reported, through an innovative approach to primary care. Family doctors work in clinics and car... more »

1 Month Update: Healing arthritis
It's been slightly over a month now since I've started a change in my nutrition and exercise schedule in hopes of getting rid of arthritis, and as promised, I'd like to check in and share my first results.
The program
To summarize, my changes involved following a balanced vegan diet, introducing a number of targeted, foot strengthening exercises, and continuing my regular exercise practices.
It's a good week now since I'm able to walk without pain. :) Yay!
Side notes
Almost nothing comes without side effects. And therefore, I'd like to share with you some of the side effects that I've noticed.
Sustainability: Perhaps the most important note. I consider this regime to be not sustainable, at least not with my lifestyle. The main problem is that... more »

Why Europe's sharing economy is suffocating
I've been thinking lately that there are a couple problems with the way things are set up today which really prevent the sharing economy from taking off in Europe.
At the center of everything is a shift in values: people don't value ownership as much as they used to. Instead, they value access. For example, in a car-sharing model, it doesn't matter who owns the car, or who the renter is, as long as they fit particular characteristics agreeable to both owner and renter - it only matters that users (renters) have access to the car.
If we look at commercial legislation today, access is considered a service - i.e. not a tradable commodity - but yet access is precisely what is valued under the sharing economy model much more than ownership. And this trickles down into many other aspects of digital interaction that... more »

EU - Yes to free WiFi, No to free anonymous surfing
Because there are a lot of misleading articles recently, I think this is an important clarification: the recent CJEU decision doesn't say that shopkeepers have to take responsibility for the actions of users on free WiFi networks. On the contrary, it says that shopkeepers are protected from being liable for actions carried out by users, no ifs and buts.
However, it does say that users shouldn't necessarily have a free pass to do whatever they want, either - shopkeepers can provide free WiFi, but may receive an injunction to give provide free WiFi in exchange for identification information (presumably so that infringing users may be traced down and held liable for their actions).
Let's just hope that the day never comes when we need to post something political anonymously on the internet...

Regenerate your teeth
Stem cells are a magical tool that can fix almost any problem with your health, because stem cells can develop to become any type of cell in the body depending on where they happen to be in the body.
As it seems, a particular drug, Tideglusib, triggers stem cell production in teeth - allowing rapid, natural tooth repair to take place. Mind you, clinical trials and the rest of the drug approval process are still to come, but this first result looks like a promising alternative to fillings, with less side effects and follow-up problems than modern fillings have.
Of course, proper dental care to avoid needing fillings in the first place is still the better choice... but for those of us who already have had to deal with fillings, this might be something to look at in the future.

Meet the mesentery, now considered a human organ
The mesentery - which encloses the intestines and attaches them to the wall of the abdomen - seems not to be a fragmented set of incoherent parts, but actually one continuous whole. That means it can be classified as an organ.
The mesentery is a vital part of human existence. As far as we know today, it does three things:
1) It secretes serous fluid, which decreases friction and allows peristaltic movements that aide in digestion.
2) It provides a passageway for lymphatics, nerves, arteries and veins between the body wall and internal organs.
3) It holds the intestines in place.
Yet the function of the mesentery is still being explored, and the recent discovery that it is one continuous organ as opposed to a number of separate parts opens up the door for more research on the functions, ailments, and cures... more »

Could collaborative consumption raise the happiness index?
While the concept of collaborative consumption is very old - European records contain Roman legal constructs and definitions for collaborative consumption - the recent popularity growth of collaborative consumption in the western world suggests that the mainstream culture in the western world is changing, and perhaps this time it's a good change.
Almost a year ago +nyeko ric left a comment on a thread of mine: 'For wealthy countries & people,they tend to build their own strategies that would make them better than the others no matter the consequences.They always plan for the downfall of their neighbors...'
This underlying philosophy of consumerism has driven values in the developed world for the last few centuries, and being suddenly confronted by consumers who focus on intrinsic values and... more »

Potential new health fad: red algae
Looks like someone rediscovered red algae and wants to put it on the US health food map. Red algae is a known superfood due to its high nutritional density, but isn't very well known in the western world. More details on the nutritional value of red algae here: http://slism.com/calorie/109010/
I recall this stuff boiled together with white algae, sugar and dried lotus fruit in an Asian dessert - one that I find very tasty, actually - but have never thought of frying it. This sounds like a lot of new potential recipes bound to crop up in the next few years, and a potential new ingredient that will find its way into standard vegan 'meat replacement' products.

Can technology disrupt social discourse to prevent history from repeating itself with the rise of new demagogues?
This is one of the reasons why I love the Google+ community - People like +Ferdinand Zebua go off to trigger some fascinating discussions. But it's also a topic that I'd think has potential - if some leading company has a motivation to take action.
To summarize the general gist of things: instead of using online platforms to annoy users by means of heavy profiling and targeting, could we instead use online platforms to prevent rising demagogues from usurping thoughts, feelings, and ultimately add another horrible chapter to modern history?

Expect more e-books at your local European library soon!
Some countries have a 'public lending exception' allowing public libraries to lend books without first acquiring expensive licenses. This recent CJEU decision establishes applies to e-books too - lowering the hurdle for public libraries to acquire and lend e-books.
This decision is an important win for the information sharing society, and opens the door for new business models built around collaborative sharing services, such as annotated sharing, co-reads, library consolidation services, etc.

One simple fitness test predicting how likely you are to die in the next few years
Once you reach the age of 35, your physical fitness starts to deteriorate. And being less fit also means being more likely to die. So for people over 50, here's one simple test that predicts - given it's simplicity, with surprising accuracy - how likely you are to die because of deteriorating physical fitness.
The 'sitting test', developed by a Brazilian doctor, involves sitting down from a standing position into a cross-legged position and standing up again, using as little support from hands, knees, or other body parts. The process of sitting is granted a score out of five, and the process of standing up again is granted another score out of five, for a total of ten points. One point is deducted for each body part required to sit or stand up, and half-points are deducted for... more »

JASTA: Is the US more authoritative than an international court?
This US bill, which was passed yesterday, is highly concerning. To highly oversimplify things, it looks like this bill is trying to make the world subject to American law and American definitions on anything related to terrorism (however the US decides to define terrorism now and in the future). Of course, all without asking the rest of the world on their opinion about it (both Saudi Arabia and the EU have expressed views against JASTA, among other things because it is not compatible with international treaties). And of course, how much power of jurisdiction the US actually has overseas, is another matter completely.
Given how vague and broad the banner of terrorism has become, close to anything - e.g. not complying with a request to have all data intercepted and scanned by US intelligence - might be considered as... more »

The NSA Side of the Story: Countering the Insider Threat
Edward Snowden's actions have had serious implications across the world - and raised many important questions. One of those questions is how an organization can defend itself against the threat of cybercrime committed by insiders with malicious intent - and Snowden's case is a wonderful example of how complex that insider threat can sometimes be.
This also raises some interesting questions on how organizations can protect themselves from the insider threat. In his talk, Steven Bay suggests several important measures:
1) Separation of Duties
2) Separation of Information
3) Employee Training
4) Locking Down on Technical Gateways to the WWW
5) Effective Internal Processes
While this looks good on paper, how do they fit in the increasingly integrated demands of IoT, Predictive... more »

AI answers 'smart' questions with human caliber
If you still don't believe in what artificial intelligence is capable of, then you should read this article: AI is sufficiently advanced that university students couldn't tell whether their teaching assistant, who answered their questions is real or not.

80% of people die in peace. This number has been higher. What went wrong?
I'm not quite ready to die yet - but when I do get there, I'd like to still be healthy, and die a peaceful death. However, the chances of dying in peace are falling. Why?
Dying has become a lucrative business. Not just for cemeteries, but also for health care practitioners, medical equipment providers, and pharmaceutical companies. And their current motivators are profit, and patient longevity. With one thing that you just don't say out loud: that comes at the cost of patient comfort. Instead of doctors visiting you at home and helping you prepare mentally for the next world, now you visit them and hope to extend your lifespan. Good medical care is no longer rated based on how happy you feel, but on how much longer you live. So how is dying actually happen?

Slander and bad research: how are honeybees really treated?
My neighbor is teaching me how to keep honeybees this year. And I can tell you this much: it makes the linked article seem like outrageous slander.
Bees don't die because of bad beekeeping practices. It used to be that way - when beekeepers just broke the beehive apart to steal the honey - but these days, bees have artificial houses which allow beekeepers to remove parts of the hive (e.g. just part of the honey room) to harvest honey without killing the bees. In fact, a lot less bees die thanks to modern beekeeping practices than compared to beekeeping a few decades ago. Bee colony health is of utmost importance to the beekeeper, as that's where their livelihood depends on.
Honeybees have been bred to be more productive than wild bees. So yes, they do need to be cared for differently than wild bees in... more »

US starts laying the groundwork for EU Privacy Shield
Privacy Shield is going to replace the Safe Harbor agreement for data transfer between the EU and US - as the Safe Harbor agreement was struck down as invalid by the courts. It should provide more personal protections. The question is, however, whether that is sufficient.
One of the biggest loopholes is that the new US bills cannot 'impede national security interests' - and national security interests has been demonstrated in the past to be very broadly applied, such that the potential for abuse still remains.
We'll have to see how the EU reacts.

What's the EU up to these days?
Unlike what the headline suggests, the game isn't over yet, and there is more legislation to come. The EC is running a series of workshops this month to gather information from industry on how data is being transmitted and the legal constructs currently associated with that, and I'd expect that the conclusion of these workshops will be at least an opinion and recommendation, if not new legislation, that is going to shape the European cloud provider market.

Surgery and the placebo effect
Yes, there are definitely many cases in which surgery is a justifiable and helpful measure. But there are also many cases in which surgery is unnecessary - and given the complications associated with surgical risks, making the call on unnecessary surgery is something that needs to be addressed, regardless of who is at fault.
But first, let's set some misconceptions straight. No, the problem isn't just a big conspiracy in the modern health care system to eek as much money out of patients as possible. There is just as much a problem on the patient side: patients who refuse to provide full medical records that may be necessary to make a sound decision, patients who keep insisting that they have a particular condition and go about from doctor to doctor until they find someone who agrees with their opinion, and patients who believe that by... more »

Generation C's demand for privacy: Social media is evolving
The meaning of privacy is evolving - it seems that the younger generation does value privacy, but not in the same sense that the older generations have.
Privacy, for younger people, is reflected in their demand for technological media that limit the access to information they are sharing to their social circle. Older, digitally-sensitive folk also make conscious decisions to restrict which information is shared to whom. Yet these positions differs in one key area - the amount of trust offered to the technological platform operator. Younger generations tend to assume that underlying platform operator is an honest player: a potential fallacy that older generations take the opposite stance on.
The change in trust between the two generations on that particular factor is a pivotal change in the digital... more »

Adaptive Capacity
How ready is your organization for tomorrow?
I think this is a wonderful short video outlining five critical aspects to ensuring an organization's 'fitness for survival' - namely, it's ability to react to changes in the marketplace and overcome difficulties. The five building blocks are:
(1) Structure
(2) Strategy
(3) Talent
(4) Culture
(5) Purpose
Okay, not too surprising so far. But something has changed: all of that has to cross the digital chasm somehow, and still remain interconnected. Which means we need digital platforms that follow a strategy that can:
(1) Analyze and make connections between these diverse, more-or-less intangible and weakly structured fields
(2) Adapt to constant changes during organizational adaptation
(3) Deliver immediate results throughout the constant... more »

Success is not your goal. Avoiding failure is.
This is a wonderful reflection on why success is such a fleeting state, and takes a very simple - yet very approachable and effective - method to attaining success. The following excerpt sums it up:
He always said, "I just try to avoid being unsuccessful." That is the number one thing I learned from him. He said that you should study what makes you unsuccessful, unhappy, broke, fat, stupid. Then, eliminate those things out of your life.
The alluring part of this approach, compared to many others, is that most people know what they don't want already, but don't know what they really want. And knowing what you don't want is all that you need to start on this pathway - steer away from what you don't want to be, and towards what you want to be. If your closest friends are pulling you down, perhaps it's tim... more »

Gaming the legal system to the detriment of public health and safety
TFOA, the stuff in Teflon, is a standard in non-stick cooking pans. But it is only one compound in a whole class of compounds - including TFOA-substitutes - that have not been adequately assessed for public health and safety before being used in manufacturing.
The story of Robert Bilott's case against DuPont concerning TFOA points to just how deeply and intricately manufacturing companies are gaming the system, to be able to continue to produce products. There are several systematic issues:
1) Lack of public awareness, and public misconceptions. I remember the 'Teflon Scare' initiated by the public brief that Bilott published. Shortly thereafter, everyone got told that you could use Teflon, but don't turn the stove to high, use any cooking utensils in the pan, or put it in the... more »

Cell targeting
Cancer is certainly a dreaded condition. And this approach - targeting cancer cells with intelligent nanobots that recognize protein signatures and release the right drug in response - could certainly help provide a more beneficial treatment alternative. But what does the payload actually contain, and how accurate is the targeting mechanism? Creating an auto immune condition certainly wouldn't be nice.
Or more importantly, how certain are we that the bots are safe, robust enough to avoid self destruction and remaining non manipulated during therapy, and exiting the body after therapy?

2016: expanding horizons
You may have noticed that I haven't been around here too much lately. There's been a lot going on behind the scenes planning and setting up for this year, and will be a lot more going on this year.
But, a new year is time for reflection and planning ahead, and it is quite a challenging year planned ahead - one requiring growth in all horizons.
Family: last year, our family size increased. And as kids grow, so does the size of their problems... Or however that old piece of wisdom went. Each of the three kids has new projects for the new year (some force-selected and some self-selected), and keeping them motivated while pushing them to explore their weaknesses as well as their strengths is a continual challenge. One of their projects which is publically available: www.ameliewrobel.de

Effective personalized learning, but without personal information
Coming from Facebook, I'm quite skeptical on Zuckerberg's particular take on personalized learning. It looks like an attempt to monetize the immense data reserves held by Facebook with very little investment on learning outcomes.
But at the same time, I think it is worthwhile to highlight the effectiveness of personalized learning as a tool that has been repeatedly demonstrated to give children a deeper understanding for and appreciation of the topics to be learned. Yet these effective experiment conditions involve an integrated, involved personalized learning experience - a far more integrated and far more involved experience than I suspect Zuckerberg is thinking of.
Rather, I am referring to a system which teaches children how to find what they want to learn about, and encourages them to... more »

Intellectual property vs. the information ecosystem
Oh, no - this is particularly troubling. I can understand that content owners and creators want to profit from their work. But the proposed solution of telling search engines to pay out profits to content creators, is a doubly bad idea. An initiative that needs to be stopped, and replaced with a more intelligent and more modern one. The internet information ecosystem isn't perfect, and does need change, but destroying it completely won't make things better.
First, it will either destroy the search engine business, or cause search engines to stop listing major publishers (causing them to cry out or at least allow relisting of their works without cost). Search engine optimization is a key marketing tool, and should be incorporated into business plans that way.
Second, it does not address the complexities that... more »

From DRM to Smart Contracts to CopyFair
As nice as a digital commons might be, I think that digital commons platforms today lack in one particular aspect embodied quite closely by 'CopyFair'.
In the race for data ownership and data monetization, large corporations have built significant businesses around collecting data and works from users, and capitalizing on their productions - but not sharing the associated profits. The result is a transfer of capital from consumers to intermediaries (online platforms), leaving the creators and data owners out of the loop.
CopyFair is one attempt at reworking the profit sharing agreement, paying out royalties to data owners / creators for commercial use of their works and information. While it is not perfect, it represents a major step forward to building a viable, long-term digital economic system that ensures continued... more »

Unintended consequences of cost-savings: cables that damages electronics
It's no secret that manufacturers want to cut costs. But cost cutting sometimes has more consequences than those manufacturers may test for - and this results in electronic devices reaching end-of-life earlier than expected.
The problem is very hard to verify. In this particular case, cables are marketed as being compatible with a particular specification, but upon inspecting the hardware, the Google engineering department has discovered that by using a cheaper, smaller capacitor, the specifications are not being met. That, in turn, means that the cable does work - but damages your equipment at the same time.
While this is a shining example of how cost-cutting around technical specifications and lying about them afterwards is particularly damaging to any electronic system relying on... more »

1 Month Update: Healing arthritis
It's been slightly over a month now since I've started a change in my nutrition and exercise schedule in hopes of getting rid of arthritis, and as promised, I'd like to check in and share my first results.
The program
To summarize, my changes involved following a balanced vegan diet, introducing a number of targeted, foot strengthening exercises, and continuing my regular exercise practices.
It's a good week now since I'm able to walk without pain. :) Yay!
Side notes
Almost nothing comes without side effects. And therefore, I'd like to share with you some of the side effects that I've noticed.
Sustainability: Perhaps the most important note. I consider this regime to be not sustainable, at least not with my lifestyle. The main problem is that... more »

Using "zombie cells" to battle cancer without side effects
Current cancer treatments target all cells with high growth rates - meaning that cancer cells, which multiply quickly, die, but other cells that multiply quickly end up slaughtered in the crossfire, such as hair follicles, intestinal cells, and so on... resulting in the standard battery of nasty side effects accompanying chemotherapy. But what happens if we could target just the cancer cells, and not the other cells?
That's what this latest bit of research suggests: Leukemia is a type of cancer affecting the bone marrow, leading to a large amount of undeveloped blood cells swimming around in the blood stream and thus limiting the effectiveness of blood in doing what it should be doing (transporting nutrients, wastes, repair tools, and fighting evil invader pathogens). The research team used an antibody to... more »

The road is clear for large scale DNA reengineering
This is no mystery machine. It is a damn accurate DNA folding machine, one that means we now have the power to predict how large-scale changes to DNA are going to fold and whether that is compatible with the rest of the chromosome. That in turn means that we can expect a flurry of new research into genetic reengineering to cure certain diseases, as well as to make new monsters.
And I'm sure someone will try to make monsters. Not a Frankenstein or a Hulk, but self-terminating, pesticide-producing foods: companies do already make them and they now have an even more efficient way to do so. I'd just hope that the regulatory committees overseeing and approving these new developments consider the ecological implications of the new introductions.
Welcome to a brave new world.

Controlling the media: new government tactics
A troubling story about lenta.ru - a Russian news sites so successfully managed by Timchenko, that it the reached critical mass required to pick up government attention. That attention led to... to put it nicely, a sharp change of direction on that site.
But censoring media isn't the most troubling part of the Kremlin's reaction. That sort of mediation is kind of expected. What I find striking is one particular line in the story:
"When Russia has faced problems with its neighbors in the past, different tactics were used: DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks against Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, and so on," he [Andrei Soldatov] said. "Everyone expected something similar in Ukraine, but it never happened. Instead we got these attacks of trolls."

Food addictions: fact or fiction?
There's been increasing talk about food addictions lately, and not just cheese: sugar addiction, fat addiction, anything else that may be a favorite food addiction. But what is a food addiction, really?
The topic is not as easy as we might think. Food affects the body in a number of ways.
1. Taste bud growth. Did you know that you are constantly growing new taste buds to replace old ones, and that these new taste buds reflect the tastes that you eat most often? Put in other words: if you change your diet, you will find after a while that your tastes have changed, and the old favorites no longer taste good anymore. Conversely, the things you eat a lot of will be reinforced and taste even better!
2. The not-hungry response. Once food hits your gut, your gut stops producing a hormone, grehlin. Grehlin basically tells... more »

Neutrinos have mass!
Neutrinos are little ghost particles: they weigh almost nothing, have no charge, and are very, very fast. Because they have no charge, and interact very seldomly, they are very hard to pin down. They are little ghosts. Until the turn of the century, they were thought to be the only particles of matter that don't have mass. But these two nobel prize winners discovered that they do have mass - confirming that all matter has mass.
Yet these little ghosts are also very important. When a star goes supernova, it emits a lot of energy. That's why it is so bright. But light is not the major form of energy leaving the supernova: neutrinos are. That's right, our little ghost particles make up the bulk of energy that a supernova produces, and travel across the cosmos at close to the speed of light - and maybe, just maybe, even faster than light.

The more you think, the more you evolve
Back in school, we learned that evolution is a slow process taking millions of years where mutations randomly took place as a result of transcription errors and environmental factors encouraging mutation to take place. Using a muscle, however, was not deemed to be a selector for causing mutation. But what if it was?
This latest research suggests that using neurons to think causes the most commonly used genes to mutate more. So you are actually mutating as you think - and the more you think, the more you mutate. The exact opposite of what we learned in school. And a most intriguing prospect: we are born to change,learn, and evolve.

My latest goal: Curing arthritis, and preventing it from coming back
For those of you who aren't too familiar with arthritis, it is considered to be an incurable, rather painful condition in which particular joints are swollen, and moving them hurts. Typically, it affects elderly patients, although the number of younger patients affected has been increasing in the last decade.
And guess what: I'm one of those young patients. I haven't even reached thirty. But my feet are affected - and walking is tedious, to say the least. Visiting the doctor didn't give me a cure I was hoping for, but instead a chilling response: There isn't a cure for arthritis. The least she could do was give me painkillers to alleviate the acute pain, and prescribe a pair of shoe inserts to support my foot arch and enable a less painful walk.
That said, I don't take no for ... more »

Could broadband internet become a public utility?
The good news: politicians have recognized that broadband internet access is so essential to modern working life that it is no longer an optional amenity but an essential service.
But what exactly does that mean for us as a society? Is internet access going to become centralized, or shift to a more regulated model, the way that other public utilities are? And if so, what implications does that have for us, not just in terms of cost but also in terms of:
• our privacy, in particular if certain government branches have an interest and get their way in monitoring internet communications?
• our security, in particular with respect to how centralizing infrastructure could make it easier to compromise, should that turn out to be part of the implementation?
• administrative efficiency, in particular if the impl... more »

Science and religion heading down a common path
That science and religion would someday start heading down a common path is an inevitable part of the singularity. And in Buddhism, it's already starting to do so.
A lot of credit has to be given to the Dalai Lama, who issued a challenge to scientists that Buddhism is compatible with science, and asked them to prove it. And, it seems that there's been quite a lot of progress on that front so far, but also some way to go.
If you're interested on a quick, but more in-depth overview, take a look over at Coursera - there's currently a fascinating course series there which is going through the various aspects of buddhism and interleaving it with the 'matching' scientific research.

'Maleness' is triggered by one particular enzyme, 5-alpha-reductase.
The story about the Guevedoces that's been circulating lately is nice, but I think the main take-away has been buried in all of the narrative. So let me reiterate it here: 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone into dihydro-testosterone, which causes males to grow male reproductive parts and, quite probably, behave the way that stereotypical males behave.
If you lack this enzyme, your male reproductive parts don't grow. Taking supplements with this enzyme will cause your male parts to grow. That means: (potential) sex change, bigger prostrates, and more baldness.
If you block this enzyme, the reverse happens. While it won't get rid of existing male organs, it does mean: smaller prostrates, and more hair on the head. This is what the drug finasteride does - it blocks this... more »

Can we cultivate creativity?
This paper - like many before it - demonstrates that there is a link between the defining characteristics of neural disorders such as autism or schizophrenia, which involve, among other things, abnormal production of neurological chemical signals such as dopamine.
But we also know that those same chemical signals are controlled by emotions, and that emotions are controlled by our reaction to the environment around us - something that can be trained, albeit not as easily as learning a 'logical' subject for most people.
Yet it also raises an intriguing proposition: if we can train ourselves to favor certain emotions over others, this means we are capable of training ourselves to increase the production of particular neurological chemical signals. So, we should be able to train ourselves to partially compensate for, if not completely... more »

Noise to power: on the way to a green airport
Think about all those noisy places: dance halls, construction zones, train stations, and airport runways. Noise is nothing more than a compression of air into short bursts, which, even if minute, still contain energy. And loudspeakers create music much along the same lines, by vibrating a surface in order to cause the air to vibrate.
So how about collecting noise and turning it into energy? Well, until now, this has not been very efficient - the output energy has not exceeded input energy. It looks like this invention has changed that, and is able to generate electricity by collecting the airport noise and wind from planes leaving the runway.
While this system certainly can't power an airport, it does go some way to reducing energy bills, and perhaps can also trigger some ideas on how to generate electricity from other... more »

Keep your brain fit - eat cocoa!
It looks like cocoa contains particular polyphenols that lower production of particular neurological toxins, and promote their clearing. This helps to prevent cognitive degeneration - and thus slow down the onset of alzheimer's disease.
For the chocolate lovers out there - this is cocoa we're talking about here, not chocolate. Chocolate still contains all that additional fat and sugar that isn't too good for you, in addition to the beneficial cocoa powder. Or you could mix cocoa powder into other things to make them look chocolatey... and that said, I'll bet my kids will love hearing this news, and we'll have an additional excuse for putting cocoa into the meal plan!

Knowledge is power. But what is destruction of knowledge?
Data publishing and data destruction are both actions with significant, irreversible consequences.
Big data has made increasingly clear that knowledge, or data, is directly correlated with power. But what about the destruction of knowledge?
Knowledge destruction destroys trust, and irreversibly destroys the ability to make decent forecasting models. When a nation destroys its data, it will no longer be able to forecast national trends to the accuracy that other nations can - leaving it in a dangerous position to fall into the 'dark ages' as the rest of the world moves on. Similarly, if a company destroys its data, it risks falling behind the competition.
As a result, knowledge destruction is an intentional abuse of power with unfortunate long-term consequences. And while there are situations in ... more »

Social Media and Terrorism: Doesn't it go both ways?
Sure - social media is making it easier than ever before for terrorists to recruit new henchmen. But what about enlisting public help in locating terrorists? Why shouldn't social media help that as well?
Perhaps intelligence agencies need to change the public opinion on them from 'evil big brother' to 'your helping hand'. I mean, more people have good intentions than evil intentions. So why not take advantage of that to enlist the general public help the law enforcement system do what it was originally concepted to do, namely making sure that we have a safe, harmonious and enjoyable place to live in?

Improving employee quality of life and business profits
Pay employees the same money, but let them work less - How can that possibly improve business profits? Contrary to common sense, businesses in Sweden are discovering that is just what happens - a shorter work day for the same pay means:
(1) Workers are more productive. Guess what: workers who aren't stressed are able to think better, make better decisions, and work faster. That translates into more profit - one business owner reports an increase of 25% (take that with a grain of salt: his business would probably have grown without the change in working hours as well).
(2) Worker retention increases. If employees earn enough to cover their basic needs, they'll quite likely value their time more than money, and not quit - even if paid more - because they like their working hours. With each new... more »

Why a zero-energy-house is not economical in terms of energy needs, and what would be more efficient and economical
My partner wants us to build a new house. I'm against a new building - that is, unless it costs less to heat and cool than an old building. Do you think you can help us figure out how to design such a house?

Where's the line between business and personal data?
Microsoft is up on a particularly important battle out on the legal field - and this time, they're the good guys. The US government has requested that Microsoft hand over personal emails from non-US citizens stored in an EU data center on the claims that emails constitute business records. Microsoft argues that they are personal data. What does common sense tell you?
Either way, the implications of this decision are quite high. Consider how much computing power is moving into the cloud these days.

KIIS also enjoyed getting extra mileage from Wango Tango and Ryan Seacrest's "American Idol" appearances. Its rival, Top 40 KAMP/97.1 FM, was No. 5 overall with a 3.7 percent audience share.
KIIS was also No. 1 overall in the 18-34 and 25-54 categories. Seacrest was No. 1 among the 18-34 audience and No. 1 among women 18-24, 18-34, 24-34, 18-49. KIIS was No. 1 overall in afternoon drive, nights, and on weekends.
KROQ/106.7 FM's morning team Kevin & Bean captured No. 1 in several categories, including adults 25-54, adults 18-49, adults 25-49, men 18-49, men 25-54, and No. 2 with women 18-49 and women 25-54. These are considered the "money demos," or the numbers ad agencies look at when buying time for their clients.
In morning drive, adults 25-54, KLOS/95.5 FM's Mark & Brian were No. 2, KIIS' Ryan Seacrest No. 3, KFI/640 AM's Bill Handel No. 4, and KOST/103.5 FM's Mark and Kristin No. 5.
Alternative KYSR/98.7 FM is climbing in the ratings, too, from an overall 2.7 share last December to 3.5 and No. 6 ranking overall (tied with Spanish KLVE-FM) in the April survey. It was No. 3 overall in the adults 18-34 category and it's weekday and weekend line-up made the Top 5 in several of the key young demographics.
News-talk KFI/640 AM had its best adults 25-54 shares in more than six months, reported program director Robin Bertolucci. Handel was No. 1 in morning drive for all listeners, and No. 4 among adults 25-54.
Rush Limbaugh shares were up, and, said Bertolucci, "Bill Carroll is gaining traction. He is now the highest rated talk or news show from noon-2 p.m. in adults 12-plus, 25-54, 35-54, and 35-64. While it's still early, you can hear the show growing. And check out Bill on Fox 11. He's been doing some commentary on the big stories here and there at 12:15.
"John and Ken had a strong April, Tim Conway, Jr. had great adults 25-54 gains, the highest shares in memory (I looked back a year and didn't see anything higher). His common sense approach and lighter take on the news of the day continue to create buzz and grow the audience," she added. John and Ken are also on KTLA/5 at 6:40 p.m.
Among non-commercial stations, KPCC/89.3 FM was No. 21, classical KUSC/91.5 FM was No. 23. Overall, news-talk KFWB/980 AM is No. 36, talk KABC/790 AM is No. 25, KSPN/710 AM (ESPN) is No. 31, sports KLAC/570 AM is No. 38.
Smooth adult contemporary KTWV/94.7 FM and Don "No Stress Express" Burns parted ways May 18, the day after his final voice-tracked show aired in afternoon drive.
Program Director Jhani Kaye said he wants 94.7 FM to be live and local. Burns was recording his show from his home studio in La Quinta. It would take him about one hour to voice-track his daily show. According to Kaye, Burns "requested that Monday (May 17) be the final day to record his show."
Kaye added, "I had an extended conversation with Don, and we expressed our mutual respect for one another. It was very heartfelt."
He said, "I left the door open for him to return in the future. If he is willing to be live and local, we're willing to talk."
Burns called me Thursday to say, "I have always appreciated the support of my listeners, and I will always treasure that." Deborah Howell has replaced him weekday afternoons.
Burns had been with The Wave since 1987, except for a 2002-2003 timeout in a salary dispute. He's always been considered to have the signature voice of the station, and listeners will miss him. But is this story over yet? Stay tuned. ....

Nataku for some RLPL flat front khakis.
capnwes for a baller overcoat. (hope you dont mind me using your pictures)
That's not a seam split. As far as I have been able to find in the past on these, it would be for passing a sword through to the scabbard awaiting under the coat.

I also wanted to say that Kent Brushes had some great deals on double sided brushes. It appears that they're sold out, but I got one along with a shave set. Those are still available:
In other news, still without internet until next week. It's killing me. I recently moved and have painted, installed light fixtures, repaired walls, etc., and am completely exhausted. I've used my entire 2 week Christmas holiday getting things together, but by the time I go back to work next week it should be mostly finished. On the plus side, we now used a small bedroom for our closet, thus doubling my closet space
I hit one store and found a herringbone alpaca scarf made for Unicef. Pics to come if anyone's actually interested in such a simple find.post #59260 of 1387281/4/13 at 3:54pm

And then this Burberry's Suit, its a little older but it's tiny...not marked but I think it's at least a 36 if not even smaller. Pit to Pit is about 18", shoulder seam to seam is 16", and bottom of collar to hem is 29"...is there somehow to turn those measurements into a size?Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

Rapunzel by TaijaVigiliaWatch
©2010-2017 TaijaVigilia
Disney's Rapunzel from Tangled, saw the film last night and sketched this after it. Story was pretty typical Disney but holy crap the animation was even more stunning than usual. Pencil on paper, colours in photoshop.
Awesome work!
The badass barefoot purrple princess ' Punzel loves hangin around!
I love how you included her strain of brunette! Beautiful piece!
you added the dark hair! almost no one does!
I like how you showed the strand of brown hair, almost never seen in art of her. Whimsical pose, too!
i wonder why they kept her barefoot in that movie
Cause her voice actress Mandy Moore prefers to perform barefoot
Who knows, probably to accentuate the fact that she's been indoors for 18 years?
I love how you added her dark brown strip of hair. <3
I saw "bri-chan's" drawing before this and must say: I like yours a lot better! I find your style more appealing and refreshing.
And if she indeed scrolled through your gallery, she should have given you credit of some sort (if she hasn't already). The similarities are just too striking...
And if she indeed scrolled through your gallery, she should have given you credit of some sort (if she hasn't already). The similarities are just too striking...
There's an awful lot of cartoon fan art out there. I try my damndest not to copy anyone but sometimes you come across a piece that looks like something you've done even though you never saw the other piece before in your life. Just happens since after all the subject matter is fairly limited. And sometimes it's so subliminal that you've forgotten that you saw the picture but somewhere in the back of your brain it twisted into something else you thought was original... and then you realise that you weren't. Minor similarities are so easy to come across I don't really worry about them anymore. It's only when people blatantly trace that it feels a bit bad but ehh... life goes on, I rather put my energy into drawing new things than worry about old.
I get your point! I still would've thought that an artist of her popularity and level of skill could've come up with something more original.
Good that you're cool with it, though
Good that you're cool with it, though
LOL! THis great you drew this pose so well and its very creative
Wow! This is soo adorable!! You captured Rapunzel so well! Love the brown lock!
Adorebale and beatiful work on Rapinzel here I love that film can't wait to get the dvd
Wow, this is great! I love the little brown hair- and yes brianna garcia seems to have scrolled through your gallery ;D Great job!
you are the only person I have seen draw her so far that included her little bit of brown hair!!! IT LOOKS AMAZING
So cute! I love how you included her little strand of brown hair. Very well done and her hair looks awesome!
She's like Spider-man with her hair. Lol!
Great artwork.
Great artwork.
I looooooove how you included her brown hair!!! super creative! (=
whoooa, amazing, i love it, really, and i envy you, because i cant that so great work. my fav!
Wow, it turned out really cute <3333 Loving it

There are very few people in this world that haven't been exposed to the facts about what was happening in Germany during World War II. This was such a significant event in time that I believe people will still be studying about it years to come. Millions of people were murdered ruthlessly by German Nazis and it is not an even that can be easily forgotten.

Please note: due to the limitations of this knitting process (only three sizes of machines exist), these t-shirts can only be offered in Small, Medium, and Large
The EPLA Loopwheeled T-Shirt
Hailing back to the early 20th century, loopwheeled knitting is an intricate and time-intensive way to create a garment. Hanging from the ceiling, each loopwheel machine slowly creates a tube of jersey fabric to form the body of each tee. Rather than pushing and twisting the fabric through, the loopwheel knitter relies on simple gravity to slowly extend an endless tube of finished cloth. The end result is an exceptionally soft knit with no inbuilt stress or tension. As you wash and wear these shirts more, the tell-tale horizonal knitting lines (caused by the slow downward knitting of the fabric) will become more and more prominent.
Each machine rotates at 24 revolutions per minute and can knit enough for approximately 10 shirts per day. This is about one 12th the speed of a modern knitting machine, but you'll find that these unique shirts are well worth the wait. The cotton itself is Pima cotton "30's single" - a medium weight high-thread count yarn which is comfortable year round. It resists stretching and will provide the long wear and durability that you expect from an Epaulet garment.
This excellent cotton fabric is delivered in a "prepare for dye" neutral tone. The shirt is fully assembled at our factory and then sent to a dye house. There, the garment is dyed to match the pantone colors that we specify -- meaning that we can offer unique colors outside of the usual palette. Once dyed, the tee is run through a light enzyme wash to eliminate shrinkage, seal the color, and soften the hand even further.

He wore jeans that looked baggy on his frame and a leather jacket for the front row at Milan Fashion Week.
The married Canadian has clearly been on a diet since he was snapped looking chubby on the beach in Barbados last year.
Perhaps it's Michael's super-toned 25-year-old model wife Luisana Lopilato who has knocked him into shape.
The pair married last year after meeting at one of Michael's concerts in November 2008.
Three months after their first meeting, Michael emailed Luisana telling her he wanted to come to her native Argentina to get to know her and her family properly.
She told You magazine: "My parents, my brother, my sister, none of us spoke English, but from the first moment, we all liked him.
"He was really humble. He wasn't like a big star showing off, he was like one of the family and when we finished dinner, he started to clear the plates."
