The fibre is a good thing as an additive to concrete or adobe, etc. It is strong and lasts fairly well. But in this application the goal is a material that gives insulation as well as mass. For that you need the hurds. Hurd is the interior of the stalk. The fibre helps with strength in very stiff materials like concrete. This material should be strong enough to be self supporting and protect the home from the outside weather. At a basic level this movement of moisture can be in and out of the house.
Inside finishes must again Breath. Thank you for the encouragement. Irish Eco House - Hemcrete Frame. Multipro Resistant BoardTimber Structural StudworkHemcrete The Hemcrete® Frame system is a combination of Hemp and a lime based binder that forms an environmentally friendly building material.
This material is cast ‘in situ’ around our structural timber frame system, to give high levels of insulation, air tightness and vapour permeability. The wall construction uses the ‘Breathing Wall’ principal, as it allows moisture laden air to pass through the structure, whilst maintaining the thermal performance. In addition the structure acts to maintain the building at a constant temperature. System Benefits • The system utilises materials from sustainable, renewable sources of supply • Excellent Thermal, acoustic and air tightness properties • Cost effective solution compared to traditional masonry construction of equivalent performance. How Bitcoin could destroy the state (and perhaps make me a bit of money) Last time I was here (two weeks ago; how’ve you been?)
I briefly mentioned Bitcoin, an emerging internet currency I didn’t understand at all but via which I had nonetheless made a bit of money (£57). Since then, I’ve been reading up and the whole thing has gone supernova, largely thanks to the extent that the EU is dicking around with real money in Cyprus. God, but I’m just bang on trend, aren’t I? Good old me. So. Actually, the second and third things aren’t as important as I made out.
Of course, it’s not entirely like gold because it also, well, doesn’t. At least, that’s the idea. Bitcoin is endlessly fascinating, in a conspiratorial sort of way. Wild Country Skills - Navigation. Navigation Grid Reference Scale Aligning a map ContoursThe Norths The Compass,Taking a bearing Nasmiths Rule Route cards Travelling through wild countryside is achieved by the use of a map and a compass.
The map conveys a detailed picture of the landscape and terrain we are travelling across and the compass provides us with a tool that will steer us in the correct direction. The secret of good navigation is a good knowledge of map reading and interpretation.

Observational history[edit] The Pleiades are a prominent sight in winter in both the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, and have been known since antiquity to cultures all around the world, including the Māori, Aboriginal Australians, the Persians, the Arabs (known as Thurayya), the Chinese, the Japanese, the Maya, the Aztec, and the Sioux and Cherokee.
In Tamil culture this star cluster is attributed to Lord Murugan (Lord Murugan raised by the six sisters known as the Kārththikai Pengal and thus came to be known as Kārtikeyan). In Sanskrit he is known as Skanda. The Nebra sky disk, dated c. 1600 BC. The cluster of dots in the upper right portion of the disk is believed to be the Pleiades. Celestia. Celestia is a 3D astronomy program created by Chris Laurel.
The program is based on the Hipparcos Catalogue (HIP) and allows users to travel through an extensive universe, modeled after reality, at any speed, in any direction, and at any time in history. Celestia displays and interacts with objects ranging in scale from small spacecraft to entire galaxies in three dimensions using OpenGL, from perspectives which would not be possible from a classic planetarium or other ground-based display. Sirius. Sirius appears bright because of both its intrinsic luminosity and its proximity to Earth.
At a distance of 2.6 parsecs (8.6 ly), as determined by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite,[5][19][20] the Sirius system is one of Earth's near neighbors. Sirius is gradually moving closer to the Solar System, so it will slightly increase in brightness over the next 60,000 years. After that time its distance will begin to recede, but it will continue to be the brightest star in the Earth's sky for the next 210,000 years.[21] Sirius A is about twice as massive as the Sun (M☉) and has an absolute visual magnitude of 1.42. It is 25 times more luminous than the Sun[7] but has a significantly lower luminosity than other bright stars such as Canopus or Rigel. Observational history[edit]
