Star Trek Fan Line Rainville Spent $30,000 Transforming her House Into the Enterprise - Iceweasel

This girl decided to spend $30,000 transforming her house into one, giant, testament to her dedication to the series: the Starship Enterprise. I thought I liked television, but this woman has boldly gone where no man has gone before. This is what the original bridge of the Enterprise looked like on Star Trek. Line Rainville This is what one woman’s living room looked like after she converted her house into one huge, fan tribute. Complete with cool lights, blinking dash… And a furry little Tribble sitting on the dash. This is the sexy bedroom (where I presume she thinks of the alluring Captain Kirk). Even the bathroom in this place looks awesome.

I can imagine all of the sweet space girls a captain could bring back to this place. That’s right, a Starfleet academy mosaic. The hallway is just like the Transporter room (where I assume Scotty beams things). Free Permaculture Design Course - Regenerative Leadership Institute - Iceweasel.

Florida, a state that normally basks in its reputation as a warm winter escape, experienced unusually low temperatures. In the midwest, northeast and eastern Canada, it was dangerous to venture outside. At some point on Tuesday, at least one location in each of the 50 US states recorded temperatures below freezing, with the highest point on Hawaii, Mauna Kea, recording a temperature of 21F (-6C). The so-called polar vortex that funnelled an Arctic low pressure system into the upper US this week swung south and east on Tuesday.

Girls and women carrying plastic jerry cans of water on their heads is a common sight in rural areas of poor countries.

WaterWheel to ease burden on women

The WaterWheel eases that burden by storing water in a round 50-litre container that doubles as a wheel. Designed after consultations with villagers in the dry northern Indian state of Rajasthan, the WaterWheel is made from high-quality plastic that can withstand rough terrain. It will sell for $25-$30, compared with $75-$100 for similar products. "Our goal is to distribute on a large scale, on small margins to 10,000-20,000 customers a year," says Cynthia Koenig, founder and chief executive of Wello, a US social venture working on ways to deliver clean water in poor countries. Wello won a $100,000 Grand Challenges Canada prize to develop the WaterWheel.

The idea came from an exploratory trip to India in 2010 to ask what people thought of the idea of rolling water, instead of carrying it.

5 ways to motivate yourself to study a boring subject and/or complete a project

Is one question I am constantly asked by students. Having just completed my honours thesis (which turned out to be the hardest, most stressful and rewarding project I have ever done) I am happy to say that there are many ways to motivate yourself, but it may involve some pain, frustration and overcoming mental barriers to begin with (at least this was the case for me!). Unfortunately, there are no quick and easy solutions to have you feeling totally inspired and energised about studying a subject or completing a project that may not be all that inspiring/interesting at times.

Here are some of the things you can do to motivate yourself to get on with the work and study that needs doing. 1. Make every thought serve you and move you forward During the initial phase of my honours project I spent a lot of time in my head but it wasn’t time well spent. She Was 40 When The Nazis Took Her.

In recent years massive open online courses (MOOCs) have become a trend in online education.

Take college and university courses online completely free

The term was coined in 2008 by David Cormier, manager of web communications and innovations at the University of Prince Edward Island. The first MOOC was created the previous year, at Utah State University. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of courses available online at no cost. You can study anything from business to zoology in your own home at no cost. MOOCs are designed like college courses but are available to anyone anywhere in the world, at no cost. Coursera is perhaps the most well-known of the online education facilitators. EdX is another non-profit course site created by founding partners Harvard and MIT and based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

MIT has their own open courseware, where most of the materials used in the teaching of almost all of MIT's subjects are available on the Web, free of charge. European institutions are also getting in on the act. WATCH: The Surprising Trait That's MUCH More Important Than IQ. UPDATE: Angela Lee Duckworth weighs in on the outpouring of comments inspired by her talk.

WATCH: The Surprising Trait That's MUCH More Important Than IQ

"In response to just a few of the thoughtful comments... I agree that luck and talent also matter. I happen to think kids often underestimate the importance of hard work and sticking with things, but of course, hard work without any ability or good fortune doesn't yield results, either. As for success being more than good grades or accomplishment generally, I concur. I want to be a success (personally), but I also want to be honest and kind. A Room Full Of Feminists Just Applauded A Guy Who Attacked Feminists. Wait For It… - Iceweasel. At first I was like, "Where is this feminist vs. Taliban analogy going? " But then I was all like, "Oh, I see what you did there! " It takes a special kind of dude (like Joss Whedon, noted writer/director/creator of feminist characters) to hate on the word "feminist" in a way that doesn’t make me immediately want to light him on fire.

You should watch his whole speech because it’s very well crafted. Real Life Legolas: Archer 'Rediscovers' Ancient Archery Techniques, Can Shoot Three Arrows In A Second. This is a video of Danish archer Lars Anderson demonstrating the ancient archery techniques he's been practicing. The key to a lot of them is holding spare arrows in your hand instead of a quiver. Doing so, Lhars can shoot 10 arrows in 4.9 seconds, shoot 11 arrows before the first hits the ground, shoot through chainmail, shoot three arrows in less than a second while falling, and shoot three disks while running backwards in 1.12 seconds. I wish I was better at archery. I think the bow might actually be my favorite weapon if you don't count laser blasters or psychological warfare.

You can carry or wear your crystals when ever you feel the need or you can wear them all the time.

That is totally up to you. For me personally, I wear my crystals for particular problems when they flair up. Another method is to relax or meditate for 15-20 minutes a day, or as needed, with your crystal on the chakra that is best associated with the ailment. Although each ailment has an associated chakra, use your intuition on which chakra feels right for you. Collections - Google Cultural Institute - Iceweasel.
