Escape from the coming winter

The migratory birds have come back.I'm damned dumbstruck when this magnificent species soared above as I was closing the window this morning.I've seen water hens and white egrets and turquoise feathered king fishers.This awesome yellow billed stork is a fine specimen of nature.

fifty shades of red

What's the hype about fifty shades of gray except that it's an adult movie in less graphic form.

Thought I would jump on the bandwagon and read that light fiction.Instead of turning me on,it's good comic relief for those in the middle ages with waning hormones to browse through such raging hormonal descriptions that make me turn 100 shades of red.

personalised air conditioned suits

People have different threshold tolerance to heat and cold.Centralised air conditioning doesn't offer those who have low tolerance to cold temperatures a choice.Could material engineering and redesign of clothing be done so that instead of external temperature control,individual clothes like suits or helmets might be worn so that it can be adjustable by the wearer to suit their preference and they would be more energy conservation due to reduced dependence on centralised heating and cooling systems.

How do race car drivers keep themselves comfortable in the  punishing heat of race circuits?
