How to Survive the Heat: 10 Tips
This survival-medicine website provides general information, not individual advice. Scenarios assume the victim cannot get expert medical help. Please see the disclaimer . by James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H. Where I used to live, in Mississippi, it got hot in the summer. Really hot, and humid.Resilient Communities
May 22, 2012 I don’t know about you, but I have the same problem Thomas Jefferson had with Monticello. I’m constantly designing the perfect home in my head. My perfect home is built for resilience.
[Note: This article has been contributed by Joey Casas, longtime reader at ChrisMartenson.com and fellow resiliency builder.] On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, the headline "Magnitude 7.0 earthquake shakes Haiti" hit the news. The images of the devastation from this single event (and the aftershocks) were sobering, in the least, and the reccurring theme that impacted me most was the masses of Haitians who were desperate for water. The basic ingredient of life was being sought after and fought over. Access to clean potable water was now a matter of life and death for so many.

geo-dome prefab geodesic domes
Welcome to Geo-dome: Invented by R.Buckminster fuller in the late 1940s geodesic domes are one of the most efficient structures known to man, often thought of as complex or expensive to build, here at Geo-dome we can show you just how simple, cost effective and efficient geodesic dome structures can be. With an expanding range of high quality great value kits your sure to find something that fits you're needs.PassivHaus: The Passivhaus Standard
The core focus of the Passivhaus Standard is to dramatically reduce the requirement for space heating and cooling, whilst also creating excellent indoor comfort levels. This is primarily achieved by adopting a fabric first approach to the design, specifying high levels of insulation to the thermal envelope with exceptional levels of airtightness and the use of whole house mechanical ventilation. The passivhaus Standard was developed in Germany in the early 1990s by Professors Bo Adamson of Sweden and Wolfgang Feist of Germany and the first dwellings to be completed to the Passivhaus Standard were constructed in Darmstadt in 1991. The Passivhaus Institut continues to monitor the dwellings with the measured energy consumption for heating remaining less than 10 kWh/m².yr since 1991, the savings in comparison with traditional buildings are more than 90%. Very good indoor air quality was measured, and the high level of thermal comfort was confirmed by field measurements and user surveys.
Geodesic Dome Calculator — ByExample.com
Our geodesic dome calculator will calculate the length and number of struts for 2V, 3V, and 4V geodesic domes based on the specified radius. It's a useful tool for planning the size of your dome. * Strut lengths are from vertex to vertex.

T he collapse of modern industrial society has 14 parts, each with a somewhat causal relationship to the next. (1) Fossil fuels, (2) metals, and (3) electricity are a tightly-knit group, and no industrial civilization can have one without the others. The decline in fossil-fuel production is the most critical aspect of the collapse, and most of the following text will be devoted to that topic. As those three disappear, (4) food and (5) fresh water become scarce; grain and wild fish supplies per capita have been declining for years, water tables are falling everywhere, rivers are not reaching the sea. Matters of infrastructure then follow: (6) transportation and (7) communication ? no paved roads, no telephones, no computers.Creating Liveable Towns & Cities
