“Dal diario di Vivien Heal, anno 2036, post- asteroide. «C’è un momento in cui tutto cambia. Avverti uno spostamento nell’aria e ti chiedi se abbia a che fare con l’atmosfera o con l’ambiente circostante. Ma dentro di te comincia a formarsi un grumo di pensiero, come un gomitolo danzante, e sia che impieghi giorni, mesi o anni prima o poi senti che le cose non saranno più le stesse. Penso di averlo capito pochi giorni dopo che ci interrammo nel bunker.»”

“Pure gold does not rust. Only gold alloys do so. You may have golden dreams. But if you go in the company of toxic people, your become "a gold alloy" and what that means is that you can rust at any time!”

“Circadian lighting might seem complicated if you've never heard of it before, but it can be done in a number of easy ways. At its simplest, try using a string of very warm white, or orange, LEDS in the evening when you are relaxing before bedtime. In overhead or side lights, use circadian light bulbs, which can be set to different colors of light, controlled by a dimmer switch. Use color-changing LED light strips or bulbs with their own color remote controller. Consider buying color-changing lighting products, such as stand-alone table or floor lamps. Use a wake-up light alarm clock to wake you gently with color-changing lights in the morning, and relax you with soft lighting in warm tones at bedtime.”
