:-) nice.

By the way, I thought global warming was due to greenhouse gas
emissions and not consumption of energy necessarily.

In the current scenario, consumption of energy results in greenhouse
gas emissions because of the use of conventional energy sources. If we
can move to non-conventional sources, these emissions can be reduced.
But then that's a whole new topic.

By the way, we will have to take up environmental responsibility soon.
It will no longer be a matter of choice - it will become a necessity.
Once the cost advantage of conventional energy sources ends, we will
automatically switch to the non-conventional ones. Cost of energy will
also drive us to become environmentally responsible.

Best regards,
Saumitri

This is not entirely accurate. It's true only for CRT monitors (which are
obsolete now).

Only CRT displays use more energy to display brighter things. On an LCD
monitor, a black pixel uses more energy than a white pixel.

For an LCD monitor, the backlight on an LCD is on for the entire LCD,
regardless of which color is being shown. An LCD monitor uses subtractive
color -- a white pixel lets the backlight pass through, and a black pixel is
using red green and blue to filter and blockout the backlight. To display a
black pixel, the LCD blocks out light. When an LCD monitor shows pure black,
that's actually the point at which the monitor is working the hardest,
blocking out lights for all the pixels (thus using more voltage). Changing
from black to white may save some energy on CRT displays, it might actually
cause LCD displays to use slightly more energy.

That means, if you're going to use one of these "Black Google" sites using
an LCD monitor, you're actually wasting more
energy<http://www.alt-this.com/?q=node/18>.
Not to mention, that it will cause unnecessary stress to your eyes, possibly
leading to computer vision syndrome.

This is quite old actually. It was on Digg front page long time back, and
people pointed out that it's valid only for LCD monitors. I don't know why
this was posted at Treehugger again, without any mentioning that it works
only for CRT monitors.

See the comments on that post:

Alas, it seems that we will have to put up with damaged eyesight &
headaches now, if we are to avert global warming to due increased
consumption of energy!

Perhaps, the externality costs of Blackle could be assigned to a
health-care fund for treating headaches caused by unergonomical
design? And not to mention - depression, as avid surfers will be soon
feel depressed due to the dark color scheme and they might have to
take anti-depressants.

No matter what we do, it seems we can't win.
Perhaps surfing itself is the root cause of all energy evils, then!

Okay, I am only kidding - kindly do not take anything said above in a
serious vein! The idea of using only black does seem funny to me,
while certainly, it is intriguing at first glance.

Its the equivalent of the idea of banning all non-productive browsing
to reduce global warming. Cute idea, thats all. What strikes me as
funny is that why is only google singled out for this treatment? Why
not ALL search engines? And by extrapolation, all corporates claiming
environmental responsibility?

This is kind of similar to the example that Toffler suggested
tongue-in-cheek in one of his books - one can reduce road accidents
radically by over 95% and save millions of valuable lives every year -
very predictably, too - if we pass strict regulations that everybody
is to drive below the speed of 15 mph.

Sure, it can be done, and so many lives can be saved. But, will it
ever happen? It cannot, because the human race will not consider human
lives to be SO important as to save them by such a radical measure.

There are always limitations on how far anyone will go to save the world.

Hmmm... tried out the Blackle site. In less than 3 mins, my eyes began
to twitch and i seem to be having a headache...oops.

White text on black background isn't pleasant to read, especially when
its something like search results where there is a lot of text.

By all means lets save power, but not arbitrarily without a thought
for the user who is going to read the stuff.

Hi Sugandh

Thanks for this great link-I have been spreading the word

if you haven't already seen it, the following url to  a Utube video of Alex
Steffen (of
worldchanging) on sustainable design that one of my students in Srishti's Design
that
Matters forwarded to me is worth viewing for all designers, -there are several
great
examples of sustainable design -but the flowers that turn red when there are
landmines
around is a particularly beautiful example of world changing ideas that I hope
Indian
designers will begin to engage with, instead of the thousands of unsustainable
products
and services we are dumping on Indian consumers today.

Mehmood Khan has been a fellow traveler of Indian Design for a long
time. Over thirty years ago Prof. Ravi Mathai established the Jawaja
Project, a collaborative venture between the NID and the IIM focusing
on achieving self-reliance through self-education, with the long term
goal of building local leadership through a process of partnerships..

Today Mehmood Khan is Global Leader of Innovation Process Development
at Unilever. He has been with Unilever since 1982 and has worked in
wide areas of the business; Marketing, Exports, Procurement, Business
Development and Innovation. Out of 25 years in Unilever, 10 years
have been in pioneering new business in places like Vietnam,
Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia and North Korea, along with developing new
portfolios in China and other countries in East Asia. His leadership
role at Unilever centers on establishing Unilever Innovation
Communities across the business as well as spanning across
Categories, Brands, Continents and Country boundaries. Through
Mehmood's drive, these Innovation Communities provide platforms for
building innovation capabilities, incubate creativities, and grow
them into true business innovations.

Mehmood is focused on the issue of sustainable value creation. He
continues to maintain focus on rural India through the Mewat project
for Grassroots Empowerment.

Design with India approached Mehmood to share his journey with the
members of this forum. We are particularly fascinated by his focus on
co-creating value by cultivating innovative communities both within
the corporate world and in the dusty lanes of rural India. We
recognize that designers are keen on discovering new niches that are
latent or invisible to the eye today. We are interested in exploring
new models of work that would help us play a personally meaningful
and professionally rewarding role In a complex environment that
appears conflicted between the rich and the poor, urban and the
rural, the west and the east and the consumerist and socially
responsible communities, Mehmood’s life experience can open new
opportunities for reflection and exploration.

Chairman's Desk:

Whenever I hear an old song of "Another brick in the wall" by Pink
Floyd group

Daddy's home cross the Ocean.
Leaving just a memory.
The snapshot in the Family album.
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Damn It! What did you leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher leave the kids alone.
Hey, teacher leave the kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teachers leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher leave those kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
crowd noise
I don't need no arms around me.
And I don't need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I'll need anything at all.
No, don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was just bricks in the wall.
All in all it was just bricks in the wall.

It shakes me and I ponder over what Education is? What I believe is
that objective of education should be to open the faculty of mind
which can take us ahead from where we are. It may lead to disaster
or prove
fruitful is in the womb of future for living ones. All education
starts from mystery and curiosity to demystification and that was
the beginning of phase of Black Magic. In Black Magic everything was
mysterious
and curiosity in man was very high for unveiling the same. It was
lack of knowledge , the fear of unknown, the fear of death and many
other factors they could not do what people can do as on today .I
admire their tenacity courage and even the way they had challenged
the death to know the truth. Slowly they conquered the fear of
death. The biggest achievement of mankind is that he has forgotten
the death and assumes that he has come to live forever on this
earth. This may be untrue but idea is working. This helps us to work
for the betterment of the society. The black Magic off shoots led to
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy and many more branches of
human learning.

I move further in history and find education moves from black magic
to traditional crafts then to Modern education. In society, modern
education (I call the western model of education) is not meeting the
desired objectives since it has left out many sides of human life
untouched and these have became unreachable to all of us. Some
section of society is demanding the concepts of Universal Education.
I personally believe that many school of thoughts should co exist in
our society and let them work on their parameters for betterment of
living being. This style of functioning has disadvantage that man
has tremendous potential but it is facing the problem of throughput
and wasting his creative energy in either repetitive or duplicate or
arguing for run down or lost in no goal because he is confined to
his own school of thoughts. His mind is closed . It lacks vision
faculty. I argue for standardization of every school of thought for
benefits for all and fast pace development. In this  standardization
of creative thoughts either it may kill the most creative thoughts
because it will not fit into the standard parameters set by our
society or our humankind is not that mature to understand the
individual's contribution. Take the example of Mr. Bole who invented
the logics and anticipated the birth of computer before 150 years.
Can flash of ideas be standardize? Some time some creative person
thinks beyond the imagination of entire humankind that no one has
ever thought in millions of years. Electricity was present in this
Universe before the day of earth existence, only Benjamin Franklin
could unveil the mystery. It is very immature in my part if I favor
one theory and ignore other. It is best let the readers should draw
their own conclusion. Diversity provides alternatives, thereby
funding freedom. For us education is a social function. Until we
know what sort of society is best, we do not know what sort of
education is best. One thing is their we are slowly moving from
traditional to progressive and one day we shall be in critical
education where we shall be in position to have the ability to
reason well and then disposition to do so.
Thanking you.

Blackle -- Heard of this…..?

Blackle is nothing but a black version of google.

"A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog
EcoIron
titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year. The post
lays out
the following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 watts
to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which has
a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduce
global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the
color
of its homepage to black.


In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called
Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time,
4,408.917
Watt hours have been saved by. Nice ideas. But how does the search measure
up? Very well indeed. Give it a whirl yourself and start saving energy one
search at a time. :: Blackle.com

I recommend you all to use this as your home page or default search
engine.
Kindly pass this on to people you know and spread the word.
So here's your site: http://www.blackle.com/

  See the photos of the paintings appearing in the frame alongside. Those on
  the right side of the frame demonstrate how M F Husain revers the Hindu Gods
  and Goddesses through his art.

  * A naked Sita is sitting on the tail of the Brahmachari Hanuman with her
  legs spread on both sides of the tail and she holding the tail close to her
  breast

  * A naked Hanuman sitting in meditation with his private part in erection,
  and naked Sita held by some one naked from behind

  * Naked Parvati mixed up with Nandi, with Shiva watching

  * Shiva and Parvati with Shiva holding her breast

  * Ganga and Yamuna both naked

  * Goddess Durga sitting naked on the on

  * Bharat Mata, revered by all, is also naked

  In his artistic undertakings he has disrobed and shamed every deity which
  millions and millions of Hindus worship. When the believers hurt by such
  vandalization of their feelings in the name of art protested, they were
  branded as vandals by the secular media and intellectuals. The defenders of
  Husain say that this is all part of the freedom of art. Thousands of emails
  circulated said why not Husain demonstrate such spirit of freedom when he
  paints himself or his family members to know how his art hurts. Obviously
  the artist seems to reserve the pain for others, the Hindu faithfuls only.

  A random browsing of his paintings of himself and his family members from
  which some paintings have been selected on the left side of the frame showed
  that he has painted his mother fully clothed and sitting in the most
  respectful position.

  He has painted himself with his *kurta* and pyjama and not how he would have
  been without them.

  A browsing will also show that he has painted many Islamic personalities in
  the most respectable dress, including Fatima, Galib and his own daughter.

  So the pattern is clear. Only Gods and Goddesses who the Hindus revere have
  been subjected to this shameful art. This does not seem to be just
  perversion. It seems to be rather intentional if the contrast is seen. The
  other personalities of other faiths including, for instance Mother Teresa,
  are treated with great reverence.

  Is that why Justice Kapur of Delhi High Court wrote in his judgment why not
  Mr Husain try his hand at such artistic adventures with the personalities
  associated with other faiths?

  Is that why the judge said that this kind of provocative art could lead to
  communal rift? If Husain could single out Hindu Gods and Goddesses for
  shameful treatment in his canvas and treats other religious figures with
  reverence in his art, he is only promoting communal hatred and not art. If
  Husain is promoting hatred between the faith to which he belongs and the
  Hindu faithfuls, what are those supporting him doing?

If Husain abets hatred, those supporting him do what?*

See the photos of the paintings appearing in the frame alongside. Those on
the right side of the frame demonstrate how M F Husain revers the Hindu Gods
and Goddesses through his art.

* A naked Sita is sitting on the tail of the Brahmachari Hanuman with her
legs spread on both sides of the tail and she holding the tail close to her
breast

* A naked Hanuman sitting in meditation with his private part in erection,
and naked Sita held by some one naked from behind

* Naked Parvati mixed up with Nandi, with Shiva watching

* Shiva and Parvati with Shiva holding her breast

* Ganga and Yamuna both naked

* Goddess Durga sitting naked on the on

* Bharat Mata, revered by all, is also naked

In his artistic undertakings he has disrobed and shamed every deity which
millions and millions of Hindus worship. When the believers hurt by such
vandalization of their feelings in the name of art protested, they were
branded as vandals by the secular media and intellectuals. The defenders of
Husain say that this is all part of the freedom of art. Thousands of emails
circulated said why not Husain demonstrate such spirit of freedom when he
