4 Best Methods for Off-the-Grid Food Production Activist Post For most of us producing all of our own food is just a fantasy. It evokes visions of multiple acres of fertile land, long work days, and expensive machinery. However, none of these are necessary to achieve self-sufficient food production. There are many gardening techniques that can produce an abundance of food for you and your family without requiring a lot of space, money or equipment. Rather, you will need time to study and practice these methods and other food preparation skills such as learning to mill your own wheat or corn flour to make breads, tortillas, pastas from scratch, or learning to can, pickle, or preserve food in all its forms. Your diet should also be considered when planning for the best self-sufficient food production method. With dedication and proper planning, everyone has the ability to survive the looming food crisis by producing their own food. Here are the 4 best food production methods for self-reliance: 1. 2. 3. 4. , CFLs , or HPSs
¿Qué es Tsuchinoco? - despiertaYmira TSUCHINOCO es una marca de objetos para niños hechos en cartón reforzado ondulado, reciclado y ecológico. El motivo del diseño se desarrolla en base a una temática “que nadie ha visto hasta ahora”. Tsuchinoco es la criatura de un fantasma que nadie ve. Rocky: Perchero de pared. Morley: Estantería con forma de árbol. Bob: Tractor de cartón corredizo. Merry: Silla con forma de animal. Peter: Caballo mecedora Alphabet Topografía Created by Yale-graduates Caspar Lam and YuJune Park of Synoptic Office, Alphabet Topography is a physical examination of letterforms as it relates to usage frequency. Vowels and consonants like “R” and “T” were given more vertical prominence while lesser-used letters like “W” and “G” hardly make a blip. Of the creation process YuJune tells me: I modelled the letters individually in Rhino and exported sections of each letter to AutoCad and based this alphabet on word frequency as defined by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, which interestingly enough, is almost identical to word frequency as defined by old linotype machines. I wanted a total variable of 6″ from the most often used to least often used letter, which gave each letter a height difference of .23 inches. I’ve always been an incredible sucker for physical typography and this project is no exception.

DIY Book Scanning | A forum dedicated to book scanning, open source, DIY digitization. Vision Architecture: High Speed Image Processing BFS-Solo: High Speed Book Digitization using Monocular Video BFS-Solo enables high-speed book digitization using monocular video captured while the paper is deformed. Our original method can reconstruct the 3D deformation and restore a flat document image by taking into account the physical constraints on deformation for a sheet of paper from the monocular image sequence. This system allows flexibility of configuration for high-speed book digitization, anywhere and anytime. BFS-Solo is designed for a simple and convenient style of book digitization for personal use, and the design concept is different from BFS-Auto which is an automatic and high-performance system for professional use. The principle introduced in this system is totally different from the BFS-Auto principle. Movie Reference Related Works Book Flipping Scanning The main concept of Book Flipping Scanning is explained.

Liam Hopkins: Pupa Cardboard Habitat nov 09, 2011 liam hopkins: pupa cardboard habitat for bloomberg ‘pupa’ by liam hopkins for bloomberg all images courtesy of liam hopkins manchester-born liam hopkins of lazerian design studio has developed ‘pupa’, a habitat inside bloomberg’s london office. the project is part of ‘waste not, want it‘, a series of commissions by design agency arts co for pieces of work made almost entirely out of bloomberg waste. hopkins was one of seven creatives asked to use materials found in a storage warehouse and redevelop them into installations. the inhabitable sculpture is fashioned out of 3,972 cardboard boarders to make up the frame, while just as many triangles are used for the exoskeleton. to get the desired form, the shape was computer generated, then extracted from the virtual model to make flat parts. the end structure is glued together entirely by hand. exterior view custom chairs made from wooden pallets and leather offcuts interior view view from above outside texture
Beautiful Examples Of Cardboard Architecture : Ecofriend We all know (or at least should know) about of the subtle impact of Japanese tea ceremonies on the Japanese culture, and clearly alluding to this great tradition, eminent architect Shigeru Ban has contrived the Paper Tea House along with its furniture, composed entirely from recycled cardboard rectangular tubes. The spatial element also incorporates a main room and a waiting area (with a customary bench). What better way to market sustainable products than showcasing them in a sustainable environment? And that is exactly what designer Pedro Campos Costa has come up with in his interesting conception called the LOW, which is a combination of a store (used only for sale of recycled products) and a bar. The store shelf and furniture is wholly made up from paperboard without any gluing. Now, who said there can’t be any ‘green’ consciousness on the business side of affairs?

Cardboard Columns (French) Heyyyyyyyy ! Je suis toujours là sisi !:-) Bizarrement c’est à la veille de mon déménagement que je trouve enfin 5 minutes pour animer un peu ce blog :-)(Le calme avant la tempête sans doute… ) Je viens de découvrir le travail incroyable de Michael Hansmeyer avec son projet qui s’appelle: Subdivided Columns. Visez un peu ces colonnes !Mazette! Crédits : Michael Hansmayer Présentées en 2011 à la Gwangju Design Biennale. Crédits :Michael Hansmayer Le travail visait à créer des formes complexes à partir d’un procédé de subdivision calculé par ordinateur… Je suis peut-être un peu simpliste ou trop synthétique par rapport à l’explication donné sur le site de l’auteur. C’est quand même fou cette multiplicité de formes et de détails …Vive la découpe au laser dans ces cas là :-) Bon j’espère que vous allez bien ! Bonnes vacances!
Building Composite Structures with Cardboard Or... How to build arbitrary structures cheaply, using corrugated cardboard, hot glue, and a few simple fiberglassing techniques © 1991, 2004 by Steven K. Roberts Nomadic Research Labs Have you ever wanted to build a custom enclosure, oddly shaped structure, waterproof canopy, camper shell, or special box -- only to be frustrated by the cost and effort involved in fabrication? You know the scenario: without facilities for this kind of work, you end up spending far too much, compromising your design with scrounged junk, or simply forgetting the whole damn thing. This is the mode I was in back in 1990 when designing BEHEMOTH's trailer (or WASU, for Wheeled Auxiliary Storage Unit). I described the whole problem to David Berkstresser one evening. "Build it with cardboard," Dave told me, taking a sip of beer. "No, seriously," I replied. "I am serious," he insisted. The elegance of his suggestion was instantly obvious. And garden-variety corrugated cardboard is a close analogue! Like it?
