How to Build a GeoDome Greenhouse - Northern Homestead When it comes to gardening in colder climates, a greenhouse is almost a must have. It extends the growing season and gives the plants a lot more heat. With a greenhouse, we can actually pick ripe tomatoes here and grow some plants that we would not be able to without one. A greenhouse can also be a great place to hang out on those cool spring days and summer nights. When we started to look out for one to build, our expectations were very high. Very unique, lightweight structure Stable in wind and under snow Optimal light absorption Has the most growing ground space A unique hang-out place An eye catcher The GeoDome greenhouse seemed to be just what we were looking for. What materials to use? We looked at dozens of how-to instructions and even bought a pricy e-Book (with very little value). Here we share our GeoDome building experience for anyone who wants to build a GeoDome -Wood. Acidome is one of the best Geodome calculators we were able to find on the internet. Finished struts: .

The Global Brain: Peter Russell (1983) Peter Russell’s award-winning video, based on a live audio-visual presentation in 1983. He explores the idea that the Earth is an integrated, self-regulating living organism and asks what function humanity might have for this planetary being. It suggests that we stand on the threshold of a major leap in evolution, as significant as the emergence of life itself, and the essence of this leap is inner spiritual evolution.

Here’s Why We live in a society where we are very used to doing something we don’t enjoy for long periods of our life so we can put food on our tables, partially see the world, have material objects etc. and so forth. According to a recent Gallup Survey, 70% of employed Americans either hate their jobs or are simply checked out of their work.[1] What does that say about how we ‘work?’ You can call it backwards or you can just observe it for what it is, the bottom line is we have the ability to do something our heart desires, we just have to make a few adjustments so we can make that happen. Before we go on, it’s not all about the money. All About Passion You may have heard me say it a number of times, I’m very passionate about other people’s passions and getting them to act on them. You may have heard the statement before “do what you love and the money will follow.” A Lifetime Of What You Don’t Enjoy You could say it’s a good enough reason depending on how you look at it.

What the world values, in one chart The more globalized our world becomes, the more we learn about similarities and differences that cut across all cultures. These things are sometimes easy to trace on a small scale. For instance, it's easy to chart the religious differences between, say, Indonesia and China. In 2000, 98 percent of Indonesians said religion was important to them compared to just 3 percent of Chinese citizens who said the same thing, according to WVS. Two professors, however, are finding ways to compare how our values differ on a global scale. Using data from the World Values Survey (WVS), professors Ronald Inglehart of the University of Michigan and Christian Welzel of Germany's Luephana University comprised this amazing Cultural Map of the World. The Ingelhart-Welzel Cultural Map of the World. What you're seeing is a scatter plot charting how values compare across nine different clusters (English-speaking, Catholic Europe, Islamic, etc.). What do those terms mean? What do those terms mean?

At First His Friends Thought He Was Crazy For Buying a Dirty Garage To Live In…Then He Remodeled It Han ändrade 40 vanor på ett år - Leva Micael Dahlén, 41, tar skumtomte efter skumtomte och doppar i smör, innan han med ett leende äter upp dem. Det ser otroligt äckligt ut. Ändå är det svårt att inte glädjas med denne rockstjärneprofessor i hans ätande. – Det gick! Micael Dahlén blev ekonomiprofessor redan som 34-åring år 2008 vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. ”Vi är vad vi upprepade gånger gör. Det tog Micael Dahlén fasta på under 2014. En vana per vecka har han ändrat, med vissa uppehåll för lite välbehövlig vila från förändringen. – Det handlar om att göra en sak så in i Hälsingland mycket under de där sju dagarna. Förändring går fortare än man tror, bara du gör den tillräckligt mycket. – Anledningen till att förändring tar tid är att vi tror att det tar så lång tid. Varför ville du förändra dina vanor? – Det finns nog flera svar. – Jag tror på att jag måste kunna bli en bättre människa. Hur definierar vanorna hur bra du är som människa? – Delvis tog jag tjänstledigt för att kunna säga ja till allt möjligt. Hur gick det?

Have We Been Interpreting Quantum Mechanics Wrong This Whole Time? For nearly a century, “reality” has been a murky concept. The laws of quantum physics seem to suggest that particles spend much of their time in a ghostly state, lacking even basic properties such as a definite location and instead existing everywhere and nowhere at once. Only when a particle is measured does it suddenly materialize, appearing to pick its position as if by a roll of the dice. This idea that nature is inherently probabilistic — that particles have no hard properties, only likelihoods, until they are observed — is directly implied by the standard equations of quantum mechanics. The experiments involve an oil droplet that bounces along the surface of a liquid. Particles at the quantum scale seem to do things that human-scale objects do not do. To some researchers, the experiments suggest that quantum objects are as definite as droplets, and that they too are guided by pilot waves — in this case, fluid-like undulations in space and time.
