Inside the Jonestown massacre. (CNN) -- Thirty years ago, 909 Americans were led to their death by the Rev. Jim Jones in a mass murder-suicide pact in a South American jungle, shortly after Jones' gunmen killed a visiting U.S. congressman and four others at a nearby airstrip. One-third of the victims were children.
Ideal Lamp Height. A bedside table lamp should not be too large or too small, but a happy medium. The size of your lamp should be based upon the size of the bedside table it sits upon and the height of the headboard. If your nightstand is 24 to 30 inches tall, the ideal height for a lamp is 27 to 32 inches tall, advises the website William Miller Design.
A good rule of thumb is to extend the headboard to take in at least the extra width of your nightstands or bedside tables. Standard headboard height ranges from 14â³ above the top of the mattress (for a short, twin-sized headboard) to 29â³ or more (for a tall, king- or queen-sized headboard). Extra tall headboards can be as tall as you want, with the general rule that the headboard isn't taller than the bed is long.
