Inner vest: Effect on comfortability

The wild swing of temperatures in Akron from -16 deg C to 35 deg C with daily swings of around 15 deg have allowed me to observe the effect of an inner vest in my not-so-temperature-controlled room.

At temperatures less than 22 deg C, the inner vest, worn with a shirt above, acts as an insulator, keeping the body warm.

Between 22 deg C and around 28 deg C, the inner vest keeps the body heat, increasing sweating, which is resolved by removing it.

Above 28 deg C, no matter what sweat is produced, the vest is essential in absorbing it and saving the shirt from getting wet.

After this I realised that a differential model can be developed to reflect the heat generation, with an adjustment for sweat production. I am sure a nuclear rod can be modified for this(Transport Phenomena). I will hopefully do it when I am even more bored than thinking about this.

The BBC's 'India Election Tran' Sham

This is a supposedly 'India' election train being brought out by the BBC, which is a sham for the basic fact that it does not cover south India. Hyderabad in itself does not reflect in any small sense all of south India, I expected atleast Bangalore, if not the four metros. Madras(Chennai) and Bangalore have been left out. To any foreigner who does not know much about India this 'train' gives the false impression that the routes covered(Delhi to Ahmedabad to Hyderabad to Calcutta) represent all of India, which is absolutely untrue. If anyone knows, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka alone can take down any government at the centre. As I have some sense of what real India is about, it angers me that the high command did not bother to go any further south than the upper Deccan plateau. What a sham.

To any BBC person: try as you might, you have not and for a long time will not feel the true pulse of the nation.
