“Coming from California, I’ve been exposed to a lot of the more well known environmental issues,” said Diana Lappin. “I have a passion for the safe and smart use of our natural resources, and I want to help people understand how to help the environment.”

Lappin is the founder of www.EcoFrogSolar.com, a name inspired by her love of nature and our natural resources both plant and animal.

“In the last few decades, amphibian populations all around the world have experienced massive population declines and even localized extinctions, all of which is due to problems like habitat destruction, pollution and climate change,” said Lappin. “There are different species of frog in places like the Amazon and parts of Asia that have never been discovered, and are becoming extinct.”

Lappin believes it’s important to protect native species and habitats not just to preserve their splendor for future generations, but because of the potential benefits to science. “One of those now extinct frog species could have held the cure for cancer, or the next penicillin, and we would never know it.”

In order to better educate people about important environmental issues, and share her innovative solutions, Lappin created a new blog at www.EcoFrogSolarBlog.com.

“We can attribute a lot of the problems facing the environment to carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels,” said Lappin. “Home solar power can solve that because it’s a clean and renewable source of energy.”

On her website, Lappin offers solar panels, solar batteries and solar power kits for the home, and wants her blog to be a resource for people who want to learn more about solar power and how to implement it in their homes.

“I’m dedicated to teaching people how to use solar energy to power their home,” said Lappin. “Solar power saves money and it’s easy to install. I just want people to be aware there’s more than the long term benefits to the environment, there’s also the short term benefit to their pocketbook.”

People will love pairing with Lappin to secure a brighter tomorrow for future generations. “Together, I believe we can make a difference for ourselves now, and a big difference for the environment tomorrow.”

Outwit, Outplay & Outlast

—

When I watched the U.S. version of the TV show Survivor — years ago — the host would say "Survivors ready? ………. GO!"
just before athletic contests and other competitive segments on the show.

(Given how formulaic the show is, he probably continued to say those words for years.)

As for "Outwit, Outplay & Outlast" -
That is a tagline for the U.S. Survivor show.

I’ve added that text to the billboard to suggest that everyone in the UK has been forced into a reality TV game — given ‘counter-terrorism’ surveillance operations (i.e. government operations that cast a much wider net, without even effectively preventing terrorism) that have involved turning Brits against one another.

As in the previous post about "The Weakest Link", I also am drawing comparisons between game shows and life in the UK.

(I don’t know how often people in the UK have watched the U.S. version of Survivor;
but I am confident that people outside the UK will have seen a lot more of that openly American version of Survivor.
Anyway – the attempt to establish a UK version of Survivor didn’t amount to much.)

I added the text to the billboard
by using this web site -
jamesholden.net/billboard/

You can see the original propaganda billboard there.

Here is a blog post about these satirical billboard images -
"Security, Loyalty, Diligence, FREEDOM"

That blog post follows up this one -
"British state surveillance"

(Please note – I am not trying to comment on how British police generally think. These satirical billboards are, above all, about mainstream propaganda.)

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could place a solar system with exoplanets onto your site? Okay, this may sound quite irritating, so let me explain… An extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is a planet beyond the Solar System. A few hundred have been detected so far, most of them are Jupiter-like massive giant planets.

So how can we put something like that onto a website or blog? Well, we won’t use any of the planets detected by astronomers, but we’ll use virtual solar systems. And where is it possible to get virtual solar systems from? Quite simple, there’s a community website called Galaxiki which is in fact a fictional online galaxy that anyone can edit think of it as some kind of Wikipedia-like galaxy where each star, each planet and each moon is represented by a Wiki page. Check it out if you don’t know it yet:

http://www.galaxiki.org

The Galaxiki community site contains over a million stars, most of them have planets, and some of those may even allow life forms to exist. Of course there are also double star systems (remember Tatooine, where Luke Skywalker grew up), black holes (dangerous stuff…), pulsars, neutron stars and other weird objects one might expect in a real galaxy. As a site member (free membership) you can name and edit stars owned by the community, or you can even buy your own solar system.

Okay, now that we know what exoplanets are and we also know that there’s a place housing virtual solar systems we can proceed to the interesting bit: placing a solar system from Galaxiki onto any website or blog.

To do so we’ll use the so-called solar system widget. A web widget (sometimes also called gadget, snippet, mini or flake) is in fact a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any web page, so you’ll only have to copy a simple line of code and paste it into your website’s or blog’s template code to make it work. It’s really that simple. The code required to place a solar system from the Galaxiki community site can be found here:

http://www.galaxiki.org/widget

By copy-pasting the default widget code we’ll get a 200 x 200 pixel 2D widget on a black background. The funny part of these widgets is that the planets are actually orbiting the stars following predefined physical rules, although you’ll have to wait some time until you’ll notice this (orbiting a star takes some time in most cases…)

It’s possible to use any solar system for your widget. Click onto the “Explore” tab to open the galaxy browser, which is in fact some kind of “Google maps in space”. It allows to browse the galaxy and select any star or solar system. Alternatively you may also use the “beam me” feature which will take you to a random star in the galaxy. Then click onto “Make Widget” to get the widget code for the selected solar system. There’s also an option to use a random star with your widget, this is explained on the widget page.

Of course a 3D widget would be cool too – no problem, simply adjust the dimension parameters (width and height) in the widget code to anything you like. On the widget page you’ll find an example of a 640 x 240 pixels 3D widget on a white background, although you may change these parameters to anything you like.

But what is it good for? Well, after all it’s just fun – having a 3D solar system on your website or blog may be interesting for your visitors, as it’s something you probably won’t see on a lot of sites.
