Bygga ugn av lera - murartips och recept på lermix Det är inne att bygga ekologiskt och att bygga med lera, till och med byggbranschen börjar få upp ögonen för leran som byggmaterial. Johannes Riesterer bygger med lera och håller kurser i lerbygge. Han är glad över att allt fler upptäcker fördelarna med lerbygge, och inte minst vad gäller lerugnar. Ugnarna byggs i tegel (med lerbruk, förstås!) Lätt att arbeta med – Den som är någorlunda hantverksskicklig klarar nog att bygga en ugn själv. – Den värmer upp hela huset, omkring 100 kvadratmeter i tre våningar. Johannes bygger lerugnar både i slott och koja. Fin strålningsvärme – Förutom det unika får man garanterat hög värmekvalitet, framför allt genom strålningsvärmen. – När man sedan eldar i ugnen är det viktigt att ha rätt värme. Och så har vi det där med kogödseln i lerblandningen. Gödsel binder – Gödseln gör blandningen mer elastisk eftersom det finns cellulosa och fibrer i det som djuren ätit och brutit ner. Så blandas leran Till lerklining eller lerputs behövs: Lera. Sand. Halm. Vatten.

Small talk topics at dinner parties should be banned | WIRED UK What is your relationship with God? What is something you fear in life? These may be great topics for conversations, but we rarely tackle such meaty topics at social gatherings. Instead, our discussions usually centre around summer travel plans, the latest home repair horror story and, of course, the weather. This is a shame, because research has confirmed what most people know but don't practise: surface level small talk does not build relationships and it is not great for our happiness levels. The sad answer is that we actively seek the lowest common denominator. To better understand this problem of social co-ordination and what we can do about it, we arranged a dinner party. According to a 2010 study by social anthropologist Kate Fox, in Britain, more than nine in ten people admit to having talked about the weather in the last six hours. To help combat the problem of co-ordination, we added one simple variable to this dinner party - rules. 1) Show up between 7:30-8pm.

Alles wat je wil weten over ... circulair bouwen | Ecobouwers.be Onze huidige economie is een wegwerpeconomie. In de bouw is dat niet anders. Dat is zonde, want grondstoffen zijn eindig. Toch importeren we ze op grote schaal en dumpen hen na gebruik als afval. Ontginning en verwerking van grondstoffen gaat bovendien vaak gepaard met lucht-, water en bodemvervuiling, of is zo energie-intensief dat hun verwerking het klimaat op hol doet slaan. Een alternatief laat gelukkig niet op zich wachten. Het sluiten van kringlopen: hergebruik Omdat de gebouwen die we optrekken niet het eeuwige leven hebben, moeten ze zo worden gebouwd dat ze over tachtig of honderd jaar weer gemakkelijk zijn te demonteren. Even belangrijk daarbij is dat de verschillende onderdelen een lange levensduur kennen. Een ander aandachtspunt is dat hergebruikte of herwerkte materialen vrij gemaakt moeten worden van gevaarlijke substanties. Mede daarom wordt hergebruik binnen circulair bouwen niet gezien als de enige manier om materiaalstromen te sluiten. Alle kringlopen worden gesloten
How To Invest In Startups And Make Money Investing in startups is trending, but the million dollar question is how to generate outsized returns? How do you actually make real money? If you had invested just $10,000 in Amazon, Dell, Apple, or Microsoft, when they went IPO, you’d be a million dollars richer just from that investment according to the IPO Playbook. Apple kicked that 100x ‘Franklin Multiple’ to the curb with a 4,581.7% rise in stock value between 2002 and 2012 alone. For some of you reading this, $1million may just be chump change. Even Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has been trumped by Uber founder Travis Kalanick, at $6B as of 2015. As a disclaimer, while there are best practices to follow when venture investing, before making money, it is likely that you will lose a bunch. However, for some, startup investing has proven to work mind-blowingly well, and many individuals are finding this an absolutely essential financial move for generating the returns and results they crave. Four Reasons People Invest in Startups:

Maisons intégrées dans le paysage Les anglais les nomment "earth house". Une "earth house" est un style architectural caractérisé par l'utilisation du terrain naturel dans la construction des murs de la maison. Une earth house est habituellement installée partiellement dans le sol et recouverte d'une fine végétation. En Suisse (Dietikon), village conçu par Peter Vetsch, version très moderne : Cette implantation contraste avec l'environnement des maisons individuelles traditionnelles. La résidence se compose de 9 maisons, dont certaines peuvent comporter jusqu'à 7 chambres.

If Animals Have Rights, Should Robots? Harambe, a gorilla, was described as “smart,” “curious,” “courageous,” “magnificent.” But it wasn’t until last spring that Harambe became famous, too. On May 28th, a human boy, also curious and courageous, slipped through a fence at the Cincinnati Zoo and landed in the moat along the habitat that Harambe shared with two other gorillas. People at the fence above made whoops and cries and other noises of alarm. Harambe was a seventeen-year-old silverback, an animal of terrific strength. Harambe, in Swahili, means “pulling together.” As the details of the gorilla’s story gathered in the press, he was often depicted in a stylish wire-service shot, crouched with an arm over his right knee, brooding at the camera like Sean Connery in his virile years. This simple fact is responsible for centuries of ethical dispute. Today, however, reckonings of that sort may come with a twist. A simple case may untangle some of these wires. Take fish pain. Quarrels come at boundary points. Where to turn?
Sun Plans :: Sun-Inspired Passive Solar House Plans Forest View 2 features abundance of arches inside and out just like the older, original Forest View, but this client wanted the master bedroom on the cool northeast side of the house. They also desired the sunroom to be on the southeast corner. The shallow porch on the south creates a nice place for sitting without blocking winter sun and the arched columns make the south view even more attractive than the front of the house! The dominant feature of the house is still the central great room with high ceilings surrounded by arches. When you enter this room from the foyer or family entry side, your eyes are immediately drawn to the south French doors with large arched windows above. The extra high ceilings in the foyer, great room, and dining create grandeur, but the floor plan is still comfortable and practical. First Floor This three bedroom, two bath home feels much larger than it is with the variety of spaces found in larger homes. Carport or Garage Construction Info Modification Ideas
