"Illuminations: A Northern Lights Experience" lights up the Crystal Bridge Conservatory at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in 2018. The Myriad Gardens is bringing back the immersive, high-tech, nontraditional "Illuminations" light show for 2019 with a celestial theme inspired by Vincent van Gogh's famed painting "Starry Night." [Doug Hoke/The Oklahoman Archives]

Today's featured event:

Check out "Illuminations: Starry Starry Night," opening today through Jan. 5, at Myriad Botanical Gardens' Crystal Bridge Conservatory, 301 W Reno.

After a successful debut last year with a Northern Lights theme, the Myriad Gardens is bringing back the immersive, high-tech, nontraditional light show this year with a celestial theme inspired by Vincent van Gogh's famed painting "Starry Night."

"Illuminations" encompasses the entire Crystal Bridge, which serves as a canvas for moving light choreographed to music, inviting visitors inside for a curated, immersive light experience.

"Illuminations: Starry Starry Night" is designed to capture the unique lighting of a winter sky. Features this year include a lighted tunnel along the upper walkway of the Crystal Bridge and a special display in the area of the north side called the Oculus Room. Back for a second year will be the spinning hybycozo lamps. These geometric, iridescent sculptural lights cast out intricate shapes and shadows and are associated with Burning Man, the annual summertime community gathering in the Nevada desert.

Another highlight of "Illuminations" are the rare and beautiful plants inside the conservatory, as well as a 15-foot poinsettia tree, which will be lit with specialty lights, in the center of the bridge.

"Our 2020 'Illuminations' is meant to add some holiday magic to the downtown with a creative indoor light effects show that is unique and engaging for all ages," said Myriad Gardens Foundation Executive Director Maureen Heffernan in an email.Musical selections are purposefully curated to integrate with the lighting and will be holiday-themed. The installation is designed by Lightswitch, a consortium of internationally recognized lighting, media and visual designers, according to a news release.

"Illuminations: Starry Starry Night" is open 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday through Jan. 5. It will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but open on New Years Eve. Special holiday hours will be offered 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, Dec. 23 and Monday, Dec. 30.

What to do in Oklahoma on Nov. 27, 2019: Check out the new 'Illuminations: Starry Starry Night' holiday lights at the Myriad Gardens' Crystal Bridge -...

This sounds crazy, but the first booster club meeting that I had we had been here about a month and we told the booster club to be prepared to have a meal on Thanksgiving Day, Hall said. We as a coaching staff felt like we had a real opportunity to practice on Thanksgiving.

Halls background as a coach stood out to Piedmont athletic director Layne Jones. When making the hire, it was almost a no-brainer choice.

Hall was the perfect fit to continue rejuvenating the program.

Superintendent (James) Whites vision has always been we wanted to be good not only academically but athletically, as well, Jones said. He always had a vision that we could win at a high level.

The seniors on this Piedmont team would have their third head coach in four years. Even with the positive signs they initially got from Hall, many were hesitant. Getting them to buy in was critical, Hall said, because once they did, he knew the underclassmen would follow.

The No. 1 thing we knew we had to do is, we had to build relationships, Hall said. A lot of that I think is on (the players) kind of buying into us and forming relationships with us and letting some walls down that have been built because of having so many head coaches over so many years.

When they let those walls down, I think we got a lot better.

Learning the offense was another challenge. It was the Wildcats fourth offense in three seasons, and it was unorthodox, too. The flexbone look, though it hasnt gone away, is tough to learn because of its precise movements but more difficult to stop when run effectively.

Its November at UVic, and it really feels like it. The oaks have shaken off their red leaves, the winter wind is picking up off the water, and the holidays still feel just a little too far away.

Although us Northern Hemisphere inhabitants should be used to it by now, the impacts of low light can take their toll on mental health this time of year. Amidst deadlines and grey skies, here are my best tips for staying positive and countering the winter blues.

If you call yourself a summer person, its easy to adopt a negative viewpoint towards winter. However, it isnt helpful to think like that; youll spend half of your lifetime in winter unless you move to the Equator!

There are many people who love winter. If youre feeling the winter blahs come on, write a list of things you can only do in winter, or things that are enhanced by the season. A few suggestions? Skiing, ice skating, hot chocolate, time to pursue your indoor hobbies, and of course, the holidays!

Take a look through events near me on Facebook, and find local holiday lights events or winter markets. Take a break from dwelling on the negative and think about the positive parts of the season. There are many people who love this time of year and no, theyre not crazy. They simply approach the season in a different way.

Yes, your body can make Vitamin D. But if youre stuck inside finishing your third paper of the week, its unlikely that youre getting enough. Risk factors for not enough Vitamin D include living in a northern climate and having a darker skin tone.

While Vitamin D can be one of those vitamins that you forget about, its an important regulator of mood, and can help metabolize other vitamins like calcium. Take it as part of a multivitamin, or increase your intake of foods that naturally contain Vitamin D like salmon, eggs, or cheese.

Easier said than done, I know. But regulating your circadian rhythms can help you adjust to the earlier twilight. Try to pick a night during the week to try and go to bed earlier than usual. For me, thats Monday nights, because the transition from Sunday to Monday usually hits me hard.

Go to bed earlier and try to get up earlier to finish any work you needed to finish the night before. Youll feel better working with the sun!

Help stave off feelings of darkness by taking advantage of the sunshine that you have. Take your mittens outside during your lunch break. Take a quick turn around Finnerty Garden or cut across the quad to get to class.

If youre usually a gym person, swap it a couple days a week for a bike ride or jog. Even if you can only carve out a couple minutes each day, youll feel better with some fresh air and exposure to natural light.

Growing up in Alaska, my dads happy light was a staple in our household. The powerful lights, designed to imitate sunlight and provide a fuller spectrum of light than traditional indoor lighting, are popular in northern climes. Testimonials abound describing their power to chase off winter blues, help the adjustment to daylight savings time, and even help improve sleep.

If youre struggling with sleep and the lack of light, try investing in some light therapy. (Compact dorm versions run about $40 online.) It could be the difference between a restless November and a productive semester!

Those of us who have depression are more likely to be affected by low light in the winter. If you cant shake feelings of depression during the darkest time of the year, its worth it to speak to a professional.

Doctors are available for walk-in appointments starting at 8:30am weekdays at the Peterson Health Center on campus (arrive at 8:30 for the best chance of getting in).

If you live off campus, the Gordon Head Walk-in Clinic accepts walk-ins on the weekends with a BC Care Card; or if youre closer to downtown, the Quadra Village Medical Center offers care for walk-ins, scheduled in the morning for appointments 9am-3pm, four days a week. Seasonal affective disorder is incredibly common and speaking to a medical professional could provide the relief you need.

Living in Victoria, the overcast winter skies are a seasonal theme, but the best news is, it is temporary. Come December 21st, we will be gaining daylight once again. Every season has its challenges, but we all deserve to have an amazing winter (and a productive end of term!) regardless of when the sun sets.

Global Smart Lighting Market: Overview, Growth Factors and Competitive Players | Forecasts (2019 to 2028) - TheLoop21

BALTIMORE The next big thing is here, all girders and concrete pads, glass roofing and gravelly dirt. Viraj Puri, co-founder of one of the nations largest indoor farm companies, walks through the construction site, and even without the luminous frills of thousands of butter lettuces, its easy to see that the building going up where Bethlehem Steel once stood is something ambitious in the world of food.

The Sparrows Point steelworks in Baltimore, once the largest steel-producing facility in the world, was shuttered in 2012, leaving no trace of what once supported 30,000 families with Bethlehem Steel wages. Now the vacated land is dominated by a FedEx distribution center, an Amazon fulfillment center, an Under Armour warehouse.

And by the beginning of December, Puris Gotham Greens farm will join them, part of a global craze for decentralized indoor food production.

Food and agriculture innovation have sucked up remarkable amounts of investor capital in recent years and could become a $700 billion market by 2030, according to a Union Bank of Switzerland report.

Millions are being invested globally in indoor urban farms because of their promise to produce more food with less impact, with two dozen large-scale projects launching in Dubai, Israel, the Netherlands and other countries.

Still, the next big thing may be stymied in the United States by high start-up costs, high urban rents and lack of a safety net in a food system that is highly dependent on subsidies and bailouts for a few commodity crops. (An American Farm Bureau Federation report last month found that almost 40% of conventional farm income in 2019 will be provided by trade bailouts, disaster insurance, the farm bill and insurance indemnities.)

And for indoor urban farms, especially those that rely solely on artificial light, theres another concern: light bulbs.

In September, the Trump administration announced it would roll back Obama-era energy efficiency standards that would have effectively phased out the standard pear-shaped incandescent variety. The step is expected to slow the demand for LED bulbs, which last longer and use less electricity than many other types but are more expensive.

The rollback, slated to take effect in January, is being fought by 15 states and a coalition of environmental and consumer groups that claim the changes will speed climate change and raise consumers energy bills.

For indoor urban agriculture, especially indoor vertical farms, the reversal represents a threat to an already narrow path to scalability and profitability, according to Irving Fain, chief executive of Bowery Farming. The indoor vertical farming company has raised $122.5 million from celebrity chefs Tom Colicchio, Jos Andrs and Carla Hall, Amazon worldwide consumer chief executive Jeff Wilke, and Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi.

The Department of Energy recognized a lot of our energy was going to lights and that LEDs were a more efficient form of lighting, so they pushed from incandescent to LED in industrial spaces, Fain said in a phone interview. Those were the trends that got us here, and we were hoping cost could drop another 50% with more innovation and more volume.

Some indoor farms stack plants vertically nearly to the ceiling in repurposed shipping containers or enormous warehouses, all of the plants photosynthesis achieved via high-tech light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. Others, such as Gotham Greens, are vast, glass-topped greenhouses, pulling their plants needs from the sun and giving a lightbulb assist in low-light times.

In addition to Gotham Greens, the Washington-Baltimore area will become home to an outpost of Bowery Farming in November. In the second half of 2020, a $100 million greenhouse tomato-and-cucumber project with the worlds largest LED installation for a single building will debut in Morehead, Kentucky, funded in part by Hillbilly Elegy writer J.D. Vance. And around the same time, California-based Plenty, with investors such as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, will debut a southern California indoor vertical farm about the size of a soccer field. (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)

But the U.S. Department of Energys proposed reversal of energy efficiency standards could hamper this emerging agricultural sector, according to Fain.

Indoor vertical farming became economically viable when LEDs became plentiful, cheap and efficient. Before that, indoor growing lights produced enormous amounts of heat heat mapping was frequently how police identified illegal marijuana growing houses and thus cooling costs and electricity bills were astronomical.

With the passage of energy legislation in 2007, the Department of Energy required that most general-service light bulbs emit at a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt by the beginning of 2020. Halogen and incandescent bulbs dont generally meet that efficiency standard. LEDs, which use a semiconductor to convert electricity into light, do.

Within just a few years, LEDs doubled in efficiency and prices fell 85%. Widespread adoption caused energy companies to throw money at research and development. Indoor urban farmers, especially those farming vertically, have built their profitability models on projections that LEDs will continue to get exponentially brighter and less expensive, will run cooler and will become more efficient.

Chris Granda, senior researcher/advocate at the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, says rolling back the efficiency standards will hamper the expansion of LEDs and their continued march toward greater efficiency.

I think what the efficiency standards rollback will do is slow the rate of consumer uptake, Granda said. Theres a cohort of people who just dont like to try new things. The standards would have nudged them along into LEDs. Even if it delays the adoption of LEDs for five years, thats a huge loss of energy.

Efficient bulbs are not the only challenge to indoor urban agriculture, Fain says. To take a small indoor farm and make it a big one requires innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence. There, too, prices have come down substantially for sensors, processing and data storage. Altogether, these make indoor farming viable but not easy.

Fain talks about Bowerys operating system, the brains and central nervous system of our farm, with a plant-monitoring system and proprietary deep-learning algorithms that help predict what will happen to each crop. He says the operating system, one of the most expensive components of Bowery, runs everything at each farm, with real-time data to improve outcomes over a network of farms. The cost of that operating system has to be amortized over that network.

And because profitability is so elusive, some of the early promises of indoor agriculture are slow to be realized. Steep start-up costs mean farmers must grow crops that generate major cash: specialty items, such as flowers, or crops that have quick growth cycles, such as leafy greens. The five main indoor crops are leafy greens, microgreens, herbs, flowers and tomatoes, items that are a pull for those of high socioeconomic status but arent go-to products for low-income people.

Theres inherent elitism that is hard to avoid, even with school tours, food bank donations and other efforts toward democratizing access to good food.

Indoor urban farming is frequently touted as a mechanism for urban renewal and job creation in low-income neighborhoods. But farms kitted out with sensors and robots often require highly specialized and educated workers. They typically are not huge employers. Bethlehem Steel employed 30,000 at its peak; Gotham Greens largest farm yet will have only about 60 full-time employees.

For Puri, Fain and others, the necessity to succeed with indoor urban agriculture is self-evident. More than 95% of head lettuce in the United States comes from two drought-prone states, California and Arizona, and according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, traditional agriculture accounts for 80% of the countrys water consumption, as high as 90% in many Western states.

In 2018 alone, three food-borne illness outbreaks on traditional romaine farms killed six people, hospitalized 128 and infected 300, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The safety challenges of outdoor farming are becoming more acute with climate change and unexpected shifts in pests and bird migrations.

After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, news stories reported that local Gotham Greens lettuces were some of the only leafy greens available in grocery stores in New Jersey and New York. Indoor farming gives cities urban resiliency, something planners are increasingly concerned about.

Cities are where most of us live, says Sabine OHara, dean of the College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences at the University of the District of Columbia. The conversation now, she says, is how to shrink the food footprint of cities, how to make cities more sustainable and their food systems robust when disaster strikes.

By the end of the year, Gotham will operate 500,000 square feet of greenhouses across five states.

Gotham Greens first indoor greenhouse farm debuted in 2011 in Brooklyn on the rooftop of an old bowling alley. The second was on the roof of a Whole Foods, also in Brooklyn, and the third was in Queens atop what once housed the Ideal Toy Co., which made the Betsy Wetsy doll after World War II and had its last big hit with the Rubiks Cube. Another, in Chicago, sits on the second floor of an eco-friendly cleaning products company.

The fifth farm, in Baltimore, will be Gotham Greens biggest to date, and has raised $45 million in equity capital.

At Sparrows Point, Puri walks past what will be the packaging room, the break room and the computer control room. He lists off some stats. One indoor acre at Gotham is as productive as 40 acres of conventional soil. Gotham Greens Baltimore farm will require 95% less water and 97% less land than a traditional dirt farm, and only about an eighth of the energy consumption of an indoor vertical farm.

Almost nothing will go to the landfill, the majority of its waste being compostable or recyclable. Gotham Greens lettuce can go from seed to full head in 35 days, about half the time it takes outdoors.

The farms first stage is 100,000 square feet, but theres space to go up to 400,000. Puri talks about eliminating food waste, passing shelf life along to consumers, millennials desire to know where their food is from. He says Gothams first farm became profitable within the first year of operation.

As the largest urban agriculture company in North America, Puri said, weve demonstrated that urban greenhouse agriculture can be a viable agribusiness that addresses a real need in the commercial supply chain of fresh produce.

But with almost none of the agricultural subsidies and safety nets of traditional row crop agriculture, and with high operating costs and the trajectory of lightbulb research uncertain, some sectors of indoor urban agriculture may be on shaky ground.

Indoor farming is one of the decades hottest trends, but regulations make success elusive - Seattle Times

Dropping a frozen turkey in a large pot of hot oil while the burner is on below is a recipe for disaster. Thaw that turkey first and turn off the flame before lowering it in to avoid an explosion of hot oil and fire.

The State Fire Marshals Office put out a list of safety reminders this week to help avoid holiday mishaps that can happen in the kitchen and around the Christmas trees that will start appearing after Thanksgiving Day.

This is the time of year where we gather around dinner tables, fire places, Christmas trees, and candles. Its important to put safety first when celebrating the holiday traditions that are unique to your family in order to keep each other safe and well through the New Year, State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci said in a press release from his office.

Here are the tips Geraci passed on for Thanksgiving safety from the National Fire Protection Association:

Remain in the kitchen when cooking on the stove top and stay in the home when your oven is in use.

Keep children at least three feet away from the stove when you are cooking.

Keep the kitchen floor clear of obstructions that could cause someone to trip or fall while theyre carrying hot items.

Never deep fry a frozen turkey. Always be certain your turkey is 100% thawed and dry before frying.

Never leave a fryer unattended, and keep children and pets away from the area.

Never operate a fryer outdoors in rain or snow and be sure it is placed on a level, sturdy surface away from trees and combustible structures.

Let oil cool overnight before disposing.

Leave at least two-feet between tank and burner when using a propane-powered fryer.

Dont overfill the fryer, and be sure to turn the burner off just before lowering the turkey into the oil. Once the turkey is submerged, turn the burner back on.

Utilize protective equipment, such as eye protection and grill mitts, when frying.

Do not use deep fryers, knives, ovens, or stove tops while intoxicated.

And after the Thanksgiving table has cleared, keep these safety tips in mind:

Choose a Christmas tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.

Cut two inches from the base of the trunk before placing the Christmas tree in a stand with water.

Place the tree three feet away from any heat source such as a fireplace, radiator, candles, heat vents or indoor lighting.

Do not place a tree in the way of an exit.

Add water daily to your tree.

Only use lights on your tree that have a label with a recognized testing laboratory on it.

Replace any string lights that have worn or broken cords and loose bulb connections.

Always turn off the Christmas tree lights before leaving the house or going to bed.

Dispose of the tree after Christmas before it gets dry and becomes a fire danger. Do not leave it in the home or garage, instead, place it outside and check your local community for any recycling programs specifically for trees.

When using candles, be sure they are placed in a sturdy holder away from anything flammable like curtains, lamp shades and furniture.

Always remain in the room with a lit candle. If it must burn continuously, be sure the candle is in an enclosed glass container and placed near a sink, on a metal tray or in a deep basin filled with water.

Consider using battery-operated candles, especially if there are children in the home.

December is the peak time of year for home candle fires. Three of every five home candle fires happen when a candle is placed too close to something that can burn.

Although Christmas tree fires are not common, when they do happen, they are more likely to be serious.

One out of every four home Christmas tree fires is caused by a heat source located too close to the tree.

Fire marshal says to think safety when cooking - SoMdNews.com

Signify updates its Philips brand office LED luminaire portfolio with high-CRI and high-R9 value products to meet the WELL Building standard lighting objectives for human wellbeing. (Photo credit: Image courtesy of Signify.)

Color rendering index (CRI) is one of those lighting subjects that gets people breaking bottles over each others heads, but the worlds largest lighting company has made clear where it stands, as Signify announced it has redesigned its Philips office luminaires to produce a CRI of 90, up from 80, in Europe.

CRI is one way of measuring a light sources ability to show the true colors and skin tones of things and people it is illuminating. While some lighting scientists strongly believe in it as a metric, others do not. (Editors note: CRI is the most widely used metric to describe the ability of a light source to render color. There are newer and more effective metrics such as TM-30 evolving, although CRI remains the de facto standard for now.)

Signify clearly does. In announcing the move up the index, it noted that a CRI of 90, with its truer rendering of colors, fulfills health and wellbeing specifications of the WELL Building standard defined by the New York City-based International WELL Building Institute. In its rating, Signify includes a minimum rendering of 50 for a red measurement called R9. (Editors note: R9 is a score that represents how accurately a light source will reproduce strong red colors, and it is often looked to very specifically for high-end lighting in hospitality and retail applications, for example. And higher CRI and R9 values have sometimes been traded off for better luminous efficacy values to meet certain qualifications for market transformation and/or energy regulations.)

With the step-up of Philips Office specification luminaires to CRI 90 with R9 of 50 or higher, we comply with the color quality parameter in the WELL Building standard, said Signifys Georgiana Nichifor, European product manager indoor general areas.

For a healthy appearance of skin tones, its important to have sufficient spectral power in the upper part of the visible wavelength range, added Signifys Kees Teunissen, scientist, optics light and vision. A red rendering index, R9 of 50 or higher, is one way of achieving this.

The higher CRI applies to Signifys FlexBlend, SmartBalance, PowerBalance, TrueLevel, and TrueLine luminaires all under the Philips brand. Signifys former corporate name was Philips Lighting and it has retained the Philips brand.

The company claims to be the first to offer a CRI of 90 with an R9 of 50 or higher.

It was not immediately clear whether Signify will apply the new CRI levels to other geographic markets.
