The Sun took a Special Rest & Your Plan B Scenario
The Sun took a special rest on 22nd July 2009. The total sun eclipse was the longest duration during the 21st century, not to be surpassed until June 2132. It lasted a maximum of 6 minutes and 39 seconds off the coast of Southeast Asia, causing tourist interest in eastern China, India and Nepal.
This is an excellent occasion for us to reflect on the importance of getting better understanding and appreciation of the role of the Sun in our life --- it is the ultimate source of all energies available on Mother Earth. For example, petroleum and natural gas are just fossilized sun-light. All foods are stored sun-light. All hydro-electric dams are driven by rain-falls caused by sun-light. So are solar power panels, solar heaters etc. In fact, everything on Mother Earth is powered by the Sun or its kinds.
SOHO (Solar Heliospheric Observatory) (http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov ) is similarly a good source to refer to.
Incidentally, you should also get to know more about the other two SOHO elements mentioned in the SOHO Technology 3.0: (http://sohotech3.blogspot.com ) Small-Office-Home-Office and Self-Organizing Holarchi Open system, because this could be your Plan B (Business-As-Usual is Plan A) scenario for better Home / Work / Life balance, in anticipation of the forthcoming convergence of crisis of Food / Fuel / Finance etc., as illustrated in the e-document entitled “Sun, Sustainability and Salutogenesis” available free here http://tinyurl.com/7y6oga
