reations of Poetry and Chaos

Creations of Poetry and Chaos

“Ron’s studio was inspiring, filled with precious little things he had made with incredible details: poetic and subversive,” said Mr. Gandini, who is president of Flos, the Italian lighting company that has championed a succession of great designers in the past 50 years, starting with Achille Castiglioni.

“So I said: ‘Don’t you want to turn these fabulous ideas into real products?’ And Ron said: ‘I’m not interested in doing real products.’ ‘But if you don’t do real products, how can you be a real designer?’ ‘I don’t care about being a real designer.’ ‘But surely you need money.’ ‘I don’t care about money.’ So we sat on the floor and talked. There was something so precious about the place and about him, that I had to try to do something.”

Eventually Mr. Gilad relented. The visually stunning, technologically ingenious lights he has designed for Flos were among the most talked-about products at the Milan Furniture Fair last year and at the one last month. He has since been bombarded with offers from other companies, but his reaction seems equally ambivalent.

“I am a little bit confused about it all,” he said. “I don’t want to take on too many projects. I work with two assistants three days a week and really need to be by myself the rest of the time. I don’t want to do the same thing for this company and that company with minor changes, as some designers do. Unless I have a good personal relationship with the people, I just don’t care.”

All of this could sound coy coming from anyone else, but Mr. Gilad is only willing to work on his own terms. A 38-year-old Israeli with long hair bundled into a ponytail, he sits in his Brooklyn studio smoking cigarette after cigarette, and stubbing them out in a broken wine glass. “It’s very hard for me to get rid of things,” he explained. “When the glass broke, it could no longer contain liquid, but it could contain ash, so I kept it. And everything breaks around here.”

“Here” is the eighth floor of an old warehouse where he lives and works with panoramic views across the industrial rubble of the Brooklyn Navy Yard to downtown Manhattan. Mr. Gilad spends almost all of his time there, except for work trips to Italy and a month in Israel each winter.

“It’s really, really hard for me to leave,” he said. “Once a week I go out to buy cigarettes and food. Once every three months I go to Chelsea to see exhibitions. And that’s it. I’ve never liked New York. I want to leave as soon as possible. But I’ve been saying that for 10 years. This space and the things in it are who I am — living on the edge of everything.”

The studio is filled with models,The brightness of the LED makes sharp led lamp black & white contrasts between the areas in and out of the LED light. sketches, prototypes and finished objects. There are splashes of surrealism in his work — notably in the mirrors shaped like brushstrokes — but the dominant style is minimalism. Chairs, tables, bowls, even model houses have been reduced to linear silhouettes of archetypal versions of themselves. The contents of his studio act as a diary of his life there, down to the three planks of wood standing beside a pile of glass shards. The planks were shelves, which held his prototypes until they collapsed one night. The broken glasses were among the casualties.

Having studied design at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, Mr. Gilad moved to the United States in 2001 to start a company, Designfenzider, with a friend. They manufactured his furniture and objects, until he quit last year. “There were too many responsibilities,” he groaned. “Design. Development. Production. Sales. Marketing. You need to take care of all these things. It took all my energy and every little bit of happiness. Never ever again.”

His work caught the eye of Paola Antonelli, senior curator of design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. “It is so perfectly balanced and surprising,” she said. “Wry sense of humor and killer elegance. Very close to sublime.” It was she who suggested that Mr. Gandini consider commissioning him for Flos.

The timing was perfect. Lighting is being transformed by developments in energy-efficient sources, such as the tiny spots produced by light-emitting diodes or, LEDs. These new technologies offer opportunities for designers and manufacturers to produce radically different new forms of lighting, which Mr. Gilad has exploited with relish.

“As a super-minimalist by nature,” he said, “the reduction of the light source to something so small was heaven. You can do whatever you want with shape. It’s like being a kid in a candy shop. But there are limitations. As much as the technology has evolved, the light it provides is not as romantic as the old incandescent bulb. For me, it was crucial to keep some kind of poetry.”

For the Wallpiercing lighting panels he developed for Flos last year, Mr. Gilad created small circles of LEDs and positioned them super-precisely, but seemingly randomly, to create delicate layers of light. He produced a series of larger LED circles for 2620, a chandelier unveiled by Flos in Milan last month, and clustered them together in what looks like a vortex.

“It’s based on a childhood memory of a window display in a Tel Aviv flower shop,” Mr. Gilad said. “The plant pots were placed inside rings, which were connected to pedestals at single points, and positioned at angles so they seemed to be dancing. For me, seeing it as a child, it was magic. If you look at the 2620 from the bottom, you see a perfect flower, but from any other angle it seems chaotic. Complete chaos from perfect order.”

Premi Daimler e “red dot award” per il proiettore full LED Mercedes CLS

Premi Daimler e “red dot award” per il proiettore full LED Mercedes CLS
Automotive Lighting,incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces. la divisione di Magneti Marelli dedicata allo sviluppo e alla produzione di sistemi e componenti per l’ illuminazione in ambito automotive, è stata di recente premiata con due importanti riconoscimenti internazionali che ne mettono in risalto l’eccellenza tecnologica, il know-how e la capacità d’innovazione. Il primo proiettore full-LED intelligente con illuminazione adattiva, sviluppato per la nuova Mercedes Benz CLS, ha ricevuto il “red dot award: product design 2011” e lo “Special Award Innovation” di Daimler.

Il “red dot award: product design 2011”, è uno dei premi per il design di prodotto più ambiti a livello internazionale ed è stato istituito nel 1955. Il proiettore della Mercedes Benz CLS è stato insignito di una “menzione d’onore” da una giuria composta da esperti di rilievo internazionale. I giudici del premio “red dot” hanno apprezzato particolarmente la combinazione di high-tech e design presentata dal nuovo proiettore full-LED.

Quest’anno designer e aziende di 60 paesi hanno presentato 4.433 prodotti al concorso per il “red dot award”. La cerimonia di premiazione ufficiale avverrà il prossimo 4 luglio presso il Teatro Aalto di Essen, in Germania. Per Automotive Lighting è il secondo premio assegnato dalla giuria “Red dot award: product design” dal 2008.

Inoltre, durante la cerimonia di premiazione per i migliori fornitori Daimler, Automotive Lighting ha ricevuto lo “Special Award Innovation”, sempre per lo sviluppo del primo proiettore full-LED intelligente con illuminazione adattiva al mondo realizzato per la nuova Mercedes-Benz CLS. Daimler riserva questo premio speciale ai fornitori che si sono distinti grazie a idee particolarmente innovative. La cerimonia di premiazione si è svolta durante la conferenza annuale dedicata ai fornitori “Daimler Key Supplier Meeting”, tenutasi presso il Mercedes Benz Center a Stoccarda. Eugenio Razelli, AD di Magneti Marelli e Presidente di Automotive Lighting, e Khalid Qalam, Chief Technical & Marketing Officer di Automotive Lighting, hanno ritirato il prestigioso premio.

Ogni anno Daimler premia i migliori prodotti di 13 fornitori in diverse categorie, con un premio speciale per l’innovazione. Vengono selezionate le migliori aziende nelle categorie qualità, costi, forniture, tecnologia e innovazione, sulla base di un sistema di valutazione uniforme.
Lo “Special Award Innovation” mette in evidenza la tecnologia di illuminazione di Automotive Lighting, grazie alla quale il proiettore ad alte prestazioni della CLS è in grado di fornire maggiore sicurezza ed efficienza. I progettisti hanno usato il potenziale dei LED a lunga durata per realizzare un proiettore dal design accattivante in grado di identificarsi immediatamente con il marchio.

Il nuovo e rivoluzionario proiettore full-LED della Mercedes Benz CLS rappresenta un’altra pietra miliare nel campo dell’illuminazione automotive. Questo proiettore intelligente presenta una serie di innovazioni tecnologiche che sono già state brevettate. Insieme al team dei progettisti Mercedes, Automotive Lighting ha creato uno stile unico per questo proiettore a LED ad alte prestazioni.

La nuova generazione di proiettori full-LED è la prima ad essere dotata dell’illuminazione adattiva propria dei proiettori allo xenon attualmente in uso. L’adattamento del fascio luminoso alla velocità, alla tipologia di percorso e alle diverse condizioni atmosferiche, offre al conducente la migliore illuminazione possibile della strada nella guida notturna o in condizioni atmosferiche avverse,The most important step is hiring the right LED lighting experts to help with besttube the retrofit process. aumentando i livelli di sicurezza.
Gli ingegneri di Automotive Lighting e di Mercedes-Benz hanno sviluppato in stretta collaborazione un sofisticato sistema modulare di attuazione, che comprende una specifica centralina di controllo elettronico per il proiettore. Analizzando i dati inviati dalla rete di bordo della vettura,An other advantage of using bluecrystal these bulbs is that they can also work in very cold weather which various other lights are unable to do. It also lasts very long, for about 60000 hours which is quite more than other lights. il sistema definisce il contesto e le condizioni di guida, selezionando automaticamente il miglior assetto di illuminazione fra sette possibili modalità.

Ad esempio, mentre il conducente sta guidando, una telecamera posizionata sul parabrezza riprende il tratto di strada davanti al veicolo. Quando il sistema rileva le luci di vetture che procedono in senso inverso o che precedono l’auto, il fascio del proiettore viene automaticamente regolato e orientato dalla centralina di controllo elettronico integrata. Quindi, all’avvicinarsi dei veicoli,These are also used as art light as well, it is because crystal these lights did not emit any harmful rays and the bluish color of LED lights makes a painting look very different from others and makes them attractive for the viewers. il sistema provvede in automatico ad abbassare progressivamente il fascio luminoso, per poi riposizionarlo non appena le distanze aumentano nuovamente (Adaptive Cut-off-line). Nel momento in cui la strada è completamente libera, il sistema passa in automatico alla funzione abbagliante (Full High Beam).

Quando il conducente sta viaggiando in autostrada, il sistema rileva una velocità elevata del veicolo per un tempo prolungato e un angolo di sterzo costante, attivando automaticamente la funzione Motorway Light, che intensifica selettivamente la luminosità sulla carreggiata di percorrenza.

In curva, invece, a velocità ridotta, il profilo della strada viene illuminato dal fascio laterale fisso della luce di curva statica (Static Bend Light), mentre, a velocità più elevate, entra in funzione il modulo della luce di curva dinamica (Dynamic Curve Light) che, in base ai parametri di velocità ed angolo di sterzo, aziona una lente mobile, orientando il fascio esattamente secondo il profilo della strada.

Di notte, il conducente ha la possibilità di attivare la funzione di visione notturna (Night View Assist) che, utilizzando una frequenza di luce non visibile a occhio nudo, gli consente di vedere in profondità, senza abbagliare i veicoli provenienti in senso contrario, anche in situazioni di traffico intenso. Su un display multifunzione, vengono infatti visualizzati in scala di grigio gli oggetti presenti sul percorso e prima non visibili. Ciò permette di identificare potenziali pericoli costituiti ad esempio da persone, animali oppure ostacoli (come carichi dispersi sulla carreggiata) e reagire più rapidamente.The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting,

Obama Administration Urged to Drop CIA Probe in Light of Bin Laden Takedown

Obama Administration Urged to Drop CIA Probe in Light of Bin Laden Takedown

In between applauding President Obama for overseeing the successful raid on Usama bin Laden's compound, some Republicans and ex-officials are starting to question what they see as a disconnect: How can the administration be investigating CIA agents whose techniques may have led America to Al Qaeda's top guy?

They're calling on the Obama administration to not only restart the CIA interrogation program in some form, but to end once and for all the Justice Department's probe of CIA employees.

"You can't have it both ways," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News. "You can't have the attorney general prosecuting CIA interrogators, by the way, who may have gotten information that may have aided in catching Usama bin Laden.

"It just doesn't make any sense to me," he said.

There is a raging debate on Capitol Hill over whether so-called enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding,The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting, playedThese were some reasons why people are keen to use these lights, hope that they will be used brightstal in a similar way in future as well. a role in tracking bin Laden. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday that it appears "none" of the intelligence came from the "harsh interrogation practice."

White House downplays significance

The White House stresses that a range of sources contributed, and that no single bit of information was a deciding factor.Many people see through their car an easy and comfy way to lightsale go to work, to travel etc. We are talking about transportation and nothing more. Facilities such as a good stereo sound system, climate control and a coffee mug holder are just some things to make driving life easier and much more fun.

But CIA Director Leon Panetta said in an interview Tuesday that some of the detainees who gave up information "clearly" were subjected to these techniques, including waterboarding.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said key information came out of detainee Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after waterboarding.

A senior U.S. official later told Fox News the initial intelligence came out of the CIA program in 2003. Fox News has learned that Mohammed provided the nickname of the Al Qaeda courier who ultimately led the U.S.While most people Led strip light originally believed that LED lights were only appropriate for retail or night life applications, every day more and more American consumers are seeing that LED lights provide the earth-friendly retrofit to bin Laden about three to four months after he was waterboarded.

The question is how big a role the waterboarding and other techniques played in persuading Mohammed, and others, to cooperate.

Some say it had little effect, pointing to claims that he did not give up the information right away. Others suggest waterboarding and other tactics must have been a significant factor.

One senior U.S. official with knowledge of the CIA program said waterboarding was not used to elicit information. Rather, it was used to take operatives like Mohammed and shift them from a spirit of defiance to one of cooperation.These are also used as art light as well, it is because crystal these lights did not emit any harmful rays and the bluish color of LED lights makes a painting look very different from others and makes them attractive for the viewers.

Coming of age in 9/11 aftermath

Coming of age in 9/11 aftermath
In light of Osama bin Laden's death Monday almost 10 years after the terror attacks that rocked Americans, college students in Shasta County reflected on the day that introduced many of them to war for the first time.

But for some who were children on Sept. 11, 2001, that day led to more than just fear or sadness.

"I actually feel like I don't trust our government as much as I did before. They're in so much power and control," said 21-year-old Shasta College student Jessie Peckham.

Much like those growing up during the Vietnam War, many local students say coming of age in the aftermath of 9/11 molded their views on everything from prejudice to foreign policy.

Kristen Hall, an 18-year-old Shasta College student, said she's certain that dealing with the 9/11 attacks as a child shaped her anti-war beliefs.

"Seeing how my mom reacted to it, it's just not something I like at all. I'm virtually against war just because of that," she said.

Hall said she hadn't thought about war much before 9/11, but feeling personally threatened changed her point of view on the subject.

"If that hadn't have happened ... I heard about the Vietnam War, but that didn't have an impact on me at all," she said. "It does have a huge impact on me and my view of war,The brightness of the LED makes sharp led lamp black & white contrasts between the areas in and out of the LED light. because it was here."

Rory Anderson, 24, of Shasta Lake said he witnessed prejudice for the first time after 9/11 and the backlash from the attacks led him to be more open-minded.

"I didn't like afterward and how they're generalizing and blaming one people for several people's actions," he said. "Everyone was like, 'Bomb Iran! Bomb Iraq! Bomb Afghanistan!' And you know that not every one of them had to do with it."

Claire Settlemire, 17,"The current economic environment is putting great pet supply stores strain on veterinarians who are well established in this community," a Shasta High School senior who takes classes at Shasta College, agreed.

"The sad thing is, there's innocent civilians being affected by this,Camping manufacturer Vango inflatable seat is claiming a first with its innovative pump-up range of tents. and I feel so bad for those people, just being stereotyped," she said.

But Settlemire said, unlike many of her peers, she supports the wars in the Middle East,t sounds like man and wildlife are on a schedule 40 pvc pipe collision course, but it doesn't have to be that way. although foreign conflict isn't ideal.

"I think it's something we couldn't really get around," she said. "I just wish it didn't make us have to act." And having four friends who have enlisted in the military in the past year has made her more sensitive to war, Settlemire said, adding that they all felt a need to protect their country after the terrorist attacks.

"They feel it's their duty; they have that sort of attitude," she said.

But Peckham said she doesn't feel war was justified, and the government didn't give enough information to the public for her to endorse it.Black bears are already making their way from pool table covers their dens in search of food, often trekking through neighborhoods on their quest.

"I thought it was all propaganda. I still don't think they have any proof," she said. "They treat us like we're stupid. They would talk in circles."

Peckham said she supports the troops because her brother enlisted in the Marine Corps shortly after 9/11, but she doesn't think they should be in the Middle East. And just because bin Laden was killed, it doesn't mean they'll be pulling out soon, she said.

"What does it change? We're still in Afghanistan. We're still in Iraq. We're still invading other countries," she said. "People say they're excited, but it's also been how many years? I don't trust a lot of it."

Five Easy Ways to Reduce your Carbon Footprint

Five Easy Ways to Reduce your Carbon Footprint

Earth day reminds us how important it is to create a sustainable environment and lower our carbon emissions. But not everyone can go out and swap their car for a hybrid at the drop of a hat.Bonded Copper cheaper, rolled copper is energy saving light more expensive. Electrolytic copper by electrolysis the name suggests is that copper ions to form copper foil to the substrate, so its features are: high electrical conductivity, but is relatively weak resistance to bending; Eco-friendly ways to live need to be sustainable as well. Here are five ways to change the world without making wrenching changes to your life.

1. Switch to Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs:

Our first tip for reducing your carbon footprint is as easy as screwing in a light bulb. The United States Environmental Protection Agency advocates replacing regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs marked with the energy star.

These light bulbs use less electricity and last about 10 times longer than normal light bulbs. According to the EPA, "If every household in the U.S.Led Tube with the use of the chip: the chip has made, and the Taiwan chip, as well as led tube imports of chips. Different chips, prices vary widely. Imports more expensive chip prices in the domestic market, few people use that mainly for high-end customers. took this one simple action, we would prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars."

2.solder joint is not smooth, LED R4ds packaging is ruined, etc.), and second, static protection is not good, a lot of LED chip is breakdown, lead to micro-light or when power is off phenomenon. Bike Instead of Driving:

Today, more than ever, biking is a great alternative to driving for running errands, taking the kids to school, and even going to work. Not only do you use no fossil fuels when you ride a bike, but also you save yourself the cost of that ever-rising gas bill.

Santa Cruz has lots of new and exciting resources to help you get started. For students, there are bike co-ops at UCSC and Cabrillo. A new resource has emerged in downtown Santa Cruz in the form of the Bike Dojo. Owner and founder Rob Mylls makes it his goal help you get started cycling in a way that works for you. He has trained bike commuters, as well as offering a wide variety of classes, educational opportunities and community outreach.

By choosing to bike instead of drive, you help your personal finances, personal fitness, and carbon footprint.

3. Buy Locally Grown Foods:

Today it is possible to ship food all over the world to sell, but it takes a lot of extra fuel and packing material to do that. You eliminate all that energy waste by buying food grown at local farms. The Community Alliance with Family Farmers makes this easy by getting stores such as New Leaf to mark local foods with their "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" logo.

Another great option is to buy your food at a farmer's market. You'll have an entire gathering of farmers with lots of foods to choose from, and you can bring your own bag to reduce the number of plastic bags you use.Of course it can still shell temperature measurement inflatable swimming pools using thermocouples, and then gives the thermal resistance Rjc , it can calculate the junction temperature. However, after the radiator is installed, the problem has become complicated again.

When you buy local, your food will be fresher and taste better, and you will be supporting your community of small farmers.

4. Reduce Your Home Energy Usage

Pacific Gas and Electric recommends that you keep your heater at 68 degrees,Currently, LED tube lighting, LED spotlight fixture feeding tube and the volume of production of led downlight other little has been achieved. and your air conditioner at 78 degrees. According to PG&E, for every additional degree of heat or air conditioning, you are using 3-5% more fuel! That not only adds up fast in terms of carbon emissions, but will also add up on your bill.

Ways to make your energy use more efficient include patching drafty areas under doors to keep heat from seeping out, using low-flow showerheads, and remembering to turn off lights in rooms not in use.

5. Recycle Your Newspapers, Bottles, and Cans

Recycling is an easy thing you can do generate less waste and keep products out of the landfills. Better yet, it’s easy! Just separate the recyclables from the trash, and put them in the blue bin provided by the County of Santa Cruz.

The County program, Santa Cruz Recycles, includes recycling services and green lawn waste services at no extra charge, so there's no reason not to take advantage of this easy way to go green. Not sure if you can recycle it? Visit the Santa Cruz Recycles website for a list of what you can recycle from home.

Wal-Mart Sex Bias Case Heads To Supreme Court

Wal-Mart Sex Bias Case Heads To Supreme Court

In a case that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce called "the most important class-action case facing the court in over a decade," Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will seek to break up a class-action lawsuit begun by a small group of female employees over 10 years ago. The suit has grown to include millions of female employees alleging unfair pay,"I have learned a lot of valuable lessons cfl bulbs in my short time in office and it is unfortunate that I am effectively receiving the blame now for other people's conduct over the past several years, when this has been ignored," Trump said. offensive remarks and a prejudiced workplace environment.

Beginning March 29, the U.S.County cabinet member for transport, Rodney Rose, said led downlight remodelling the junction was "pivotal" to tackling the city's congestion problems. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a lawsuit against the world's largest retailer for allegedly giving women less pay and fewer promotions at 3,400 U.S. stores since late 1998.

According to Reuters, the case will determine whether a small group of women who began the lawsuit 10 years ago can represent a huge nationwide class of current and former employees that could total millions of women. This decision,As previously revealed in The Oxford Times, the county ds マジコン council is considering permanently removing the lights and replacing them with a system of roundabouts. expected by late June,Such technology could be applied to led light bulbs the development of improved surgical and medical lasers, better countermeasure lasers used by the military, could have implications for several pending class-action lawsuits, including one against CostCo Wholesale Corp.

The Plaintiffs have a rough road ahead. According to the New York Times, Supreme Court precedent not only requires anecdotal evidence and statistics to show discrimination occurred, but requires the accuser to identify a practice or common policy that they say led to discrimination.

For that,"I really think too many people are letting table lamps the government dictate what to buy and how to use their money," she said. "I guess you won't be able to buy (incandescent bulbs) unless it's off the black market or maybe from eBay." the Plaintiffs have sought help from hotly contested sociologist William T. Bielby. Bielby, who teaches at the University of Illinois, Chicago, told the trial court that he had collected general "scientific evidence about gender bias, stereotypes and the structure and dynamics of gender inequality in organizations."

After reviewing the trial materials and combing through Wal-Mart's corporate culture, he found two aspects of the management structure that may be to blame. One was a centralized personnel policy. The other was allowing subjective decisions by managers in the field. Together, he said, those factors allowed stereotypes to infect personnel choices, making "decisions about compensation and promotion vulnerable to gender bias."

The latter has led to some of the more damning anecdotal evidence. Reuters reported that, in previous trials, members of the class have told stories of managers holding meetings at Hooters, having company outings at strip clubs and calling female employees 'girls' in official business capacities.

For now, the highest court in the land must determine the validity of the class. To do that, the Plaintiffs must establish that Wal-Mart allowed a broad culture of discrimination that continued for over a decade and affected as many as 1.5 million women.
