Good night’s sleep helps in avoiding obesity

logo

Wikipedia reports:

Scientists have uncovered an inverse relationship between the hours of
sleep and blood plasma concentrations of ghrelin; as the hours of sleep
increase, ghrelin concentrations were considerably lower, thereby
potentially reducing appetite and avoiding potential obesity.

How to: Use TGFI.net SEO plugin

logo

This is a sample post created after the installation of TGFI SEO plugin.

This sample post should help me verify if I’m able to configure meta data at an individual post level.

What this means is, after this posting this, if I access this post through its permalink and view the html source I should see some meta data for this post.

This plug-in sure doesn’t sound like big deal to me, because I am required to use the wordpress dashboard instead of a blog client. TGFI SEO plugin will give you yet another form just below the editor on which we can fill in the post level meta data for SEO.

One thing that must be done for the plugin to work is from the FAQ:

Q: The titles aren’t showing up for me, or seem to be partially working. What’s wrong?

A: Make you you have <?php wp_head(); ?> in your header.php file between your HTML <head> tags.

I hope it is worth the effort.

Energy ball – Interesting design for a microgeneration device

logo

Microgeneration is small scale distributed power generation where each home, community makes its own power with a low carbon footprint. It is said that if we all make our own power, we can take off 30-40% of production capacity. As an idea, microgeneration sure makes sense. If households dont rely on the government to cook their foods, mow the lawns and take out the trash, why should they rely on the government to produce their power?

Energy ball is an interesting device thats been around for over 2-3 years now and can supposedly produce 15% of the annual power required by a (Dutch) household. The ball has a 25 year life and can produce a maximum of 500 W of power.  It looks kind of cool too, to say the least, I like it better than the look of a power plant.

The cost of a 500 W ball installation without the post is around 3000 Euros (Rs.210,000). The 11 m mast costs another 1000 euros. Based on the present Indian economics, the device is not likely to pay itself back even over its entire lifetime without subsidies. I just wonder what makes such interesting devices so expensive.
