The researchers said more than 80 percent of migraine sufferers experiencing photophobia, so many people suppress it by isolating themselves in a dark room and can not perform daily activities.

"Their inability to endure seeing the light most often makes them inactive," said Rami Burstein, a professor of anesthesia at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard Medical School. He is the lead author of the study.

For this study, the migraine sufferers were asked to report how the effects of color and different light intensities to their headaches. In the light level as in the office in general, the patients reported only light green light that does not make their headaches worse. Other lamps, blue, yellow and red, make the head more sick.

The researchers said the patients reported that the green light reduces the intensity of their pain by about 20 percent. The reason, the green light creates less electrical signals generated by the retina of the eye and the brain cortex.

The main author of this study hope that the patients can immediately feel the immediate benefit of this finding. He also tried to design an economical light bulbs to emit "pure green light at low intensity and imagine the sunglasses that can block all light other than green. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]

The first car owner in Indonesia

Did U Know? - Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago in the southern hemisphere of the Earth, situated precisely in Southeast Asia, holds a captivating history in the realm of automobiles. Curiosity might lead some to ponder who owned the very first car in this diverse nation. If you're among those who can provide an answer, then your knowledge of Indonesia's automotive past is commendable. The distinguished figure associated with being the first car owner in Indonesia is none other than His Highness Sri Susuhunan Pakubuwono X.

Interestingly, His Highness Pakubuwono X could also be considered the owner of one of the world's inaugural cars. During the initial stages, car ownership was a privilege limited to a select few. Only the aristocracy and affluent individuals had the means to acquire these groundbreaking vehicles. 

His Highness Sri Susuhunan Pakubuwono X, the monarch of Surakarta Hadiningrat, stands as a historical icon as the first person to own a car in Indonesia, dating back to the year 1894. The vehicle in question was the Benz Victoria Phaeton, a car so exclusive that it required a special order due to the scarcity of car manufacturers at the time.

His Highness Sri Susuhunan Pakubuwono X directly placed an order with Benz & Companie Rheinische Gasmotoren-Fabrik, a German car manufacturer (precursor to the Mercedes-Benz today) through Pröttle & Co., a company located in Passer Besar, Surabaya and a renowned car salesman John C. Potter. Interestingly, the British gentleman also holds the distinction of being the first individual in Indonesia to own a motorcycle.

In those early days, the process of crafting such an automobile took an entire year, and the cars had specifications that varied based on individual orders. Don't imagine a sleek modern design; these cars resembled regular carriages. The wheels, crafted from wood, were paired with airless tires akin to those used in horse-drawn carriages or "andong," commonly seen among the Javanese in Yogyakarta.

At the time, it priced at ƒ10,000 (approx. Rp. 83 millions), this car had the capacity to accommodate eight passengers. Its power source was a single-cylinder engine with a 2,000 cc capacity, generating up to 5 horsepower. Dubbed Kreta Setan or Devil Carriage, it earned its name due to its ability to move without the aid of horses.

Regrettably, the last known sighting of the Kyai Maruto (this is the designation given to the His Highness Pakubuwono X's Benz Victoria Phaeton by the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace) was in 1924, when it embarked on a journey to the Netherlands by sea. Departing from Semarang, it was slated to be showcased at the RAI Amsterdam Motor Show at the time. Since then, the car seemed to vanish into the folds of time. Its current whereabouts remain a mystery, although rumors persist that it might be displayed at the Louwman Museum, a private car museum in Leidschendam, southern Netherlands.

As the years progressed, the acquisition of cars in Indonesia burgeoned. Beyond serving as a mode of transportation, cars became a symbol of prestige among the affluent, nobility, and monarchs of the era. The rarity of large-scale car production and the high cost meant that only the truly wealthy could indulge in the luxury of car ownership. And so, the wheels of time turned, marking the evolution of Indonesia's automotive landscape. ***  [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PRICEAREA | ZIGWHEELS ]

Otto Lilienthal flying machine being tested in wind tunnel

Before the Wright Brothers flew, a German pilot had managed to slide to fly for the first time. That man was Otto Lilienthal is considered the 'first man to fly,' after conducting a trial with a homemade glider 125 years ago.

Before the Wright Brothers or even the lesser known Gustave Whitehead successfully took to the skies, a German aviator named Otto Lilienthal achieved humanity's first successful gliding flights. One such attempt is pictured above. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1aRYs4)

As reported by Daily Mail, Friday, May 13, 2016, the researchers at the Germany Aerospace Center (Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt/DLR) has made a replica of one of the Lilienthal historic flying machine to learn how this plane could be flown, and also to gain insight into the fatal accident that befell this glider.

Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have replicated one of Lilienthal's historical gliders to understand how the craft would have flown, and gain insight on his fatal crash. Otto Lilienthal is considered 'the first human being to fly,' after conducting trials with a self-built glider 125 years ago. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1aRYs4)

Lilienthal has pioneered early flight effort, and passion that eventually led to his death; on August 9, 1869, when the glider stalled and he fell from a height of about 50 feet, broke his neck. And he died at a hospital in Berlin the next day.

DLR started doing the first tests on the replica of 'Lilienthal glider' at low speed the German-Dutch Wind Tunnel in Marknesse, Netherlands. This test will help you understand how far it can be flown, and what maneuvers that can be achieved. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]
