Complementary Colours are conventionally described as colours which are on the opposite sides of a colour wheel. However, as I demonstrated in Describing a colour space - there's more than one colour wheel! more than one shape has been used to describe colour relationships in space - and there's also more than one colour wheel. So how do you work out what are complementary colours? An exercise

Transgender, Genderqueer, and Intersexual folks often face difficult decisions when it comes to something as simple as going to the restroom. They face the reality of being attacked, discriminated against, arrested, or feeling very uncomfortable when choosing a bathroom that is specified for a specific gender. Now, thanks to the Safe2Pee Resource, gender variant people can find gender neutral/unisex bathrooms around the world. You can also add any bathrooms to the database that would be suitable. "The goal of the project is to create a resource where people who do not feel comfortable with traditional public restrooms can find safe alternatives, and to support advocacy and research to further the cause of gender free, inclusive bathrooms."

Climate change, carbon neutral, carbon footprint are the buzzwords of the moment. It seems everyone is talking about them, making television shows about them as they gain popularity in the mainstream. Obviously there is a very serious side to these issues and thankfully people are starting to become aware of these. I came across another interesting idea designed to make a real difference in this area today called the carbon neutral search engine.The climate neutral search engine aims to offset the carbon emissions created by web searches. They will offset a minimum of 300g per web search, which seems very fair considering the estimated carbon emission of each search query emitting a fraction of a gram of carbon. The carbon neutral search engine uses a google based custom search so the resu

By Gerard Wynn AlertNews, Reuters - 21 Feb 2008 Original URL   MONACO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) launched a new online network on Thursday to help countries, cities and firms aiming to be "climate neutral" exchange ideas on ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Neutral Network will connect people around the world who have committed to become climate neutral by reducing and offsetting their emissions of the gases blamed for heating the planet, said Achim Steiner, head of UNEP. "The idea is to share ideas," he said. UNEP, which is hosting 154-nation climate talks in Monaco, aims to be climate neutral itself in 2008, with the whole United Nations due to follow.

Approximately 20 percent of the single family dwellings in Canada are heated to some extent with wood.  According to Environment Canada, wood is used in more than 3 million Canadian homes as either a primary or secondary heat source. Of course, woodstoves and fireplaces are not only used for heating purposes, but also to create a “comforting and cozy” atmosphere.The Environment Canada site goes on to say that, in Canada, residential wood heating is responsible for 29% of the fine particle emissions associated with human activities. This makes it the third largest source of these emissions overall.  Wood smoke contains over 100 pollutants -- these pollutants not only negatively impact the environment but are also linked to a wide range of health problems, and residenti

Hydrogen as an everyday, environmentally friendly fuel source may be closer than we think, according to Penn State researchers."The energy focus is currently on ethanol as a fuel, but economical ethanol from cellulose is 10 years down the road," says Bruce E. Logan, the Kappe professor of environmental engineering. "First you need to break cellulose down to sugars and then bacteria can convert them to ethanol."Logan and Shaoan Cheng, research associate, suggest a method based on microbial fuel cells to convert cellulose and other biodegradable organic materials directly into hydrogen in today's (Nov. 12) issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online.The researchers used naturally occurring bacteria in a microbial electrolysis cell with acetic acid – the acid found in vinegar. Acetic acid is also the predominant acid produced by fermentation of glucose or cellulose. The anode was granulated graphite, the cathode was carbon with a platinum catalyst, and they used

Just from the opening seconds of Neutral Milk Hotel's second album, you know it's going to be special: the acoustic guitar strum is catchy beyond belief, and Jeff Magnum's intonation lends credibility even to a line like "When you were young, you were the King of Carrot Flowers." Listening to In the Aeroplane is like stepping through Alice's looking glass; you enter a fantastic new universe that, while it doesn't always make sense logically, feels like the home you never had.

 San Francisco’s board of supervisors today voted 10-1, let me repeat that, 10-1 to give illegal aliens identification cards. Talk about rewarding bad behavior. People who broke the law to get here are being granted the same rights as citizens while people who are trying to go through the system to become legal residents or citizens are getting fucked. This makes absolutely no sense. We are constantly being told we can’t round them all up, we couldn’t possibly find them all yet we are able to get them to come to us so that we can hand them ID cards?  Can you imagine being from another country and having the dream to come to America and become an American, to try and live the American dream only to find out you would have been better off to break into the country, go about things the wrong way and become such a nuisance that you are given what you wanted just to shut you up? It has to be disheartening.  This coming at the same time that San Francisco will also star

Neutral Milk Hotel began simply as a recording project for Mangum, in the early 1990s. He produced several demo cassettes, among them 1991's Invent Yourself a Shortcake, 1992's Beauty (not to be confused with the earlier cassette), and 1993's Hype City Soundtrack, along with two more from this period, seemingly unnamed. Although easily found on the Internet, these demos capture the project at a very embryonic stage: songs are played in between various sound collages and tape experiments, one of which consists only of a six minute conversation between Mangum and Hart. Another track, "Digestion Machine", features a varied collage of voices answering the question asked by Mangum, "What does the digestion machine mean to you?" The more accessible "Synthetic Flying Machine", also titled "Up and Over", later became "The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 3" on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

A woman named Shannon Palmer, who occupied the same Louisiana house as Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum (as well as Olivia Tremor Control�s John Fernandes), recently discovered a tape given to her by Fernandes 11 years ago. Through the Elephant 6 message board, Palmer learned that the tape (dubbed �Shannon's Monroe House demos�) contained previously unheard NMH demos.

Via: The Guardian and CO2-Solutions(Reuters) - The basketball European championship in Spain next month will be a carbon neutral event, organisers have declared. “For the first time in Spain, a sporting event has taken up the challenge to calculate the emission of greenhouse gases during a tournament to be able to offset its emissions to produce a neutral balance,” the organisers said in a statement on their Web site (Eurobasket 2007). For the event to be carbon neutral all its emissions must be offset, which involves paying someone else to cut greenhouse gas emissions on your behalf, with the aim of not adding to the world’s stock of gases blamed for global warming. The organisers have enlisted the help of a Spanish company called CO2-Solutions to help devise strategies that reduce the amount of CO2 they produce from their activities and to calculate emissions before, during, and after the event. Allied to this, organisers have worked to impress on individuals their

This allows the vine yard to have a “Carbon Neutral Approved” sticker on its bottles, the vine yard has had its carbon footprint measured and has taken steps to offest it by taking advice on how to change the amount carbon that the farm uses. This is a great example of how commercial farming can change to being an eco friendly industry.

ZIMBABWE has rejected an offer to play Australia at a neutral venue, and accused John Howard's government of renewed efforts to topple President Robert Mugabe. In a protest against Mugabe's rule, the Australia government barred Ricky Ponting's team from travelling to Zimbabwe for a scheduled three-match tour in September, prompting Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive James Sutherland to suggest the world champion could play the series at a neutral venue. "That is wishful thinking ... the International Cricket Council (ICC) says Zimbabwe can host the Australians and any other cricket country here," said Zimbabwe Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu overnight. He said the move to cancel the tour, and the Australia government's announcement that it is increasing funding for civic groups in the southern Africa country, is part of efforts to ostracise and unseat Mugabe. An Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade statement released overnight said Australia

Costa Rica has announced is developing plans to become the world's first carbon neutral nation.According to their Environment and Energy Minister Roberto Dobles, they will reach neutrality through a basket of measures including budgeting, laws, and new incentives to encourage biofuels, hybrid vehicles, and clean energy. They will also implement a “C-Neutral” label to certify that tourism and industrial practices mitigate all of the carbon dioxide they emit alongside a voluntary “tax” of $10 per tone of carbon emitted. Money from the tax would fund conservation, reforestation, and research in protected areas. The UN is watching their efforts with the hope of encouraging successful strategies elsewhere in the world. Time will tell their ultimate success; however, their thriving eco-trourism industry gives them a good head start in making greater environmental investments in their economy.

Cult favorite indie rock act Neutral Milk Hotel was supposedly reuniting to play the Tiny Mix Fest in Minneapolis in August. Trouble is, the band's agent knew nothing of the event.

The UK based Silverjet the world’s first 100% carbon neutral airline has started flights from London to New York. The ticket price includes a compulsory contribution to “Carbon Points”. The customer can then choose a project to which they wish to donate their points. If the customer does not indicate a preference for a specific project then their points will be distributed between a portfolio of projects. Silverjet believe that by making the carbon offset charge mandatory and by allowing interested customers to choose the recipient of their points they are leading the way in airline carbon offset schemes. The customer service sounds great, check in up to 30 minutes before departure, 6′3″ flat beds, freshly cooked food, 5 bathrooms with one ladies only. Prices start at £799 return. I think that this low cost, business class, long haul model will probably be very successful. I do wonder how many tickets will be availabile at £799 return?
