These tiny meditation shelters offer protection and a place to rest for hikers exploring the Lithuanian forests. The shelters are a place where people can find solitude to reconnect with nature and find harmony with the environment. A slithering stone pathway that weaves throughout the forest garden was inspired by a Lithuanian fairy tale about serpents.

The project, named Gapahuk, is part of a larger Meditation Garden designed by Bjørnådal Arkitektstudio which won the American Architecture Prize 2016. Used for individual meditation and as a place where hikers can rest and get warm, this cluster of shelters was built during the Human Birdhouse Workshop in Lithuania last August. The team cleared a forest clearing and shaped pathways that naturally weave in and around the garden. Two fireplaces installed in front of the shelters are surrounded with sitting areas. Holy stones added to the site look like totems of masculine and feminine origin, while a symbolic stone pathway represents a Lithuanian fairy tale about serpents.

The workshop took place on the property of famous Lithuanian children books author, poet and film/theatre director Vytautas V. Landsbergis. The idea was to design and build architecture in the style of Constructive Shamanism, which brings together architects, builders and spiritual practitioners to strengthen and reveal the connection between humans and nature. References to Lithuanian mythology dominate the project, with visitors participating in spiritual ceremonies and singing mantras around a bonfire.

Bubble porn is where a non-nude photo or video gets a swiss-cheese-like opaque overlay that gives the illusion of nudity. Since its meme heyday, the practice, known as bubbling, now uses translucent overlays that make the effect even more striking. (more…)

Working with computers as an IT professional means that you sometimes need to deal with license issues. Undoubtedly, there will be times where you’ll need to obtain the operating system product key. Without having this key handy, you won’t be able to perform an installation or upgrade, and who can remember that key by heart? No human that I know. In this article, I’ll walk you through on how to recover the product key in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

If you’re lucky, you might find the product key for the installed version of Windows as a sticker or on the installation media itself. But obviously, there are times where the product key can’t be located. So how do you obtain the needed product key?

Here comes one of the most useful freeware tools to the rescue. It’s called ProduKey, and it’s written by Nir Sofer. ProduKey is a small and fully portable utility, meaning it does not require any installation. Just download it to your desired location and execute it. Another cool thing about this tool is that you can obtain the required information not only for your current running operating system, but also for remote computers on your network by using command-line options.

ProduKey doesn’t requite any installation process or additional DLLs. To start using it, simply extract the files to any folder you like, and run the executable file.

Once it runs, it will display all the product keys it can find on the computer. It can magically find the operating system key, plus keys for various Microsoft Office products, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and more.

This utility can be useful if you lost the product key to Windows or Office, and you want to reinstall it on your computer.

Note: If you bought your computer with an operating system preinstalled, then you may find the Windows product key appeared in ProduKey utility is different from the product key on your Windows CD. This problem is mostly reported with Dell computers.

In the main window of the tool, you can view a list of all Windows, Office, and SQL Server products installed on your computer. For each product, the “Product ID” and “Product Key” are displayed.

Here are some examples:

 

If you want the view the product key information in another computer or in another operating system within the same computer, you can use the available options from the “File” menu:

If you want, you can also use the command-line options below:

/remoteall – Enumerate all computers on your local network, and load the product key information from them.

/remotealldomain [Domain Name] – Enumerate all computers in the specified domain, and load the product key information from them.

/remote [Computer Name] – Load product key information from the specified computer name.

/iprange [From IP] [To IP] – Load product key information from all computers in the specified IP addresses range.

/remotefile [Computer Names Filename] – Load product key information from all computer names specified in the file. The file can be tab-delimited, comma-delimited, or CRLF-delimited.

There are other command line arguments, see the original page for more info.

For example:

produkey.exe /remote \\computer01

produkey.exe /remotefile “c:\temp\my_computers.txt”

produkey.exe /remoteall

produkey.exe /remotealldomain testdom.local

produkey.exe /iprange 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.200

From the makers of the super-portable T1 lamp comes an equally minimalist counterpart that feels right at home on the top of your desk. Called the T2 lamp, its thin form is achieved thanks to a custom LED board producing 520 Lux of brightness using only 2 watts of power! In a material mix of natural wood, steel glass, and colorful cording, it’s the best looking T lamp yet.

Love the song and the deep meaning of taking the weather with you, albeit only if it’s sunshine and cheery! The thing with weather predictions in most countries is that it’s the most unreliable news relayed on the TV Channels. For example, in my hometown if the station predicts a sunny day, be assured it’s going to rain heavy! To remove this ambiguity about the weather, we have here the StormTag – your personalized weather station.

The beauty about this device is that it’s small and portable, good enough to be a weather station on your key ring. The main purpose of the StormTag is to keep you in the loop about approaching storms and weather conditions. Its for those who work in a weather-dependent environment like sailors and outdoors folks, science enthusiasts like storm chasers or just regular folks like us who’d really like to know if we should take the efforts of carrying our umbrellas to work or not!

StormTag has the capability of storing a year worth of temperature, barometer, humidity and UV data. It syncs to your phone, thus allowing you to crowd source weather information! Designed to be 100% waterproof, the device is small and handy.

We asked man behind it all – Jon Atherton to highlight a few features of the StromTag and this is what he asked us at the first go – What if you could be part of a team that changed the way our climate was analyzed?

We’re about to start a 2-year worldwide project to perfect crowd sourced weather data, and your StormTag will contribute meaningful data that is open for scientific analysis.

StormTag Shares Weather Data to the Cloud

The StormTag App collects data to provide you with some weather predictions in real time, even without an internet connection.

Features

• Barometric Pressure Sensor for weather mapping.
• Temperature sensor.
• 100% waterproof.
• Over 1 year battery life.
• Data logging for as long as the battery lasts.
• Weather data is stored in onboard memory even when your phone or tablet is not connected to StormTag+.
• More regular syncing will deliver finer grained data.
• Humidity Sensor: to provide more accurate forecasting and more complete data collection.
• UV sensor.

The water resistant design hooks onto ski jackets, backpacks, key rings, and boat keys. The device has a temperature and a barometric pressure sensor and it uses Bluetooth LE to communicate this data to iPhones, iPads and compatible Android devices.

The most helpful aspect is that you also contribute all this anonymous data back to the StormTag’s cloud of weather information where scientists can access it and all other StormTag owners. This will go to improve localized weather predictions and give you the real updates on the weather. Good going!
