Solar energy that doesn’t block the view

A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface. And, according to Richard Lunt of MSU’s College of Engineering, the key word is “transparent.”

Depending on the length of your hair, combine 1-2 tbsp. baking soda with 1-2 cups warm water in a glass jar and pour over wet hair in the shower, gently massaging to distribute the baking soda evenly. Rinse both hair and jar thoroughly. Next, combine 1-2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar with 1-2 cups warm water in the glass jar and pour over your head. Rinse immediately.

 A Lifetime’s Worth of Stories: Max Pam in Perth, Australia

Starting his first journal on his maiden voyage outside of Australia driving a VW from Calcutta to London, contemporary Australian photographer Max Pam has since told a lifetime’s worth of stories.

Having exhibited widely, both locally and internationally, Max has also published over a dozen photo books that include his most recent publication, Supertourist - an epic artists’ monograph that was over ten years in the making.

Taking inspiration from modernist artists, have a look inside his uniquely positioned penthouse apartment filled with 20th century furniture and plenty of bookshelves on Freunde von Freunden.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners. I wish someone had told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. Most people I know who do interest, creative, work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know that it’s normal and the important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you finish one piece. It’s only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take a while. It’s normal to take awhile. You just gotta fight your way through.
