Stunning Hope Cottage Includes A 2-Person Sauna - Tiny House for UsTiny House for Us Just when you think you’ve found your favorite tiny house design, something like this comes along and raises the bar another notch. It’s great to see what others are doing with small space design, and this might be the first time we’ve seen a full-blown sauna built into a tiny home. Described as a sort of “glamping bed and breakfast”, the Hope Cottage is located in La Conner, Washington, and was built to offer visitors a cozy place to escape it all. They managed to include all the normal luxuries you’d expect in a home; there’s a usable kitchen space, comfortable living area, roomy sleeping loft, and a full bathroom with shower, toilet, and of course a gorgeous FAR infrared sauna enclosed in glass and wood. There’s even a BOSE soundsystem, wi-fi, and a tv with Chromecast. As if the sauna weren’t enough, they managed to fit a shower in the bathroom too! They opted for stairs to the loft, making it more accessible for people of all ages and abilities.

Les cartes de pays imaginaires - Voyage dans les contrées de l'utopie «Souvent, l’objet du désir, où le désir se transforme en espoir, devient plus réel que la réalité elle-même. » Célèbre romancier italien, mais aussi philosophe, essayiste, critique littéraire, Umberto Eco a longtemps été fasciné par le symbolique et le métaphorique, qu’on retrouve par exemple dans ses livres pour enfants (les trois cosmonautes, la bombe du général,…). Il revisite aujourd’hui ces allégories qui lui sont chères dans « Le Livre des terres légendaires »; un voyage illustré dans les plus grands lieux imaginaires de l’histoire, peuplés d’habitants fantaisistes et coutumes étranges, qui prennent place dans des lieux aussi différents que la mythique Atlantide ou le petit appartement de Sherlock Holmes. On peut également y découvrir le royaume de la Reine de Saba, celui du prêtre Jean, des îles de Gulliver, l’Eldorado et le Pays de Cocagne,… Eco écrit dans l’introduction : La réalité de ces illusions est le sujet de ce livre ».

Matemaks - matematyka maksymalnie prosta Wakako Kawakami’s Striking Installations of Giant Textile Birds When Alfred Hitchcock directed his classic film The Birds, he left open the question as to why the birds turned their fixation towards humanity. The mystery surrounding his film made it one his most chilling pieces of work, portraying a bird’s-eye view of the world as if nature were judging us. Osaka based Japanese artist Wakako Kawakami takes a note from Hitchcock with her giant textile budgies that she installs in various locations. Their plush faces peer down on us from office windows and building entrances with empty eyes, compelling for their massive size and beautiful colors, but at the same time unnerving and mysterious. Kawakami was also thinking about the presence of nature when she first created her gigantic birds, explaining that her reason for using parrots as a motif was in an attempt to express life, and out of a fantasy that her own pets were larger than life.
Sacred Tree Profile: Hawthorn (Lore, medicine, magic, and mystery) Hawthorn branches and leaves In honor of Samhuinn, a festival of beginnings and endings, today we’ll explore the most sacred of trees–the hawthorn. This is the 6th post in my “Sacred Trees in the Americas” series where I examine abundant trees in the Eastern and Midwestern parts of the USA, exploring their many qualities: physical, magical, herbal, mythological, and so on. Previous posts have include Eastern Hemlock, American Beech, Sugar Maple, Eastern White Cedar, and Hickory. Each of these posts takes 20-30 hours to research and write, not to mention the countless hours I spend with the trees to understand them and share their stories as best I can. And now friends, let’s enter the forest and visit the hawthorn. I remember when I was a child, running through the hawthorn grove behind my house. As an adult, I would be thrilled to come across a hawthorn in full fruit, ready and waiting for a harvest. Hawthorn tree in early summer About Hawthorn (Physical) Example of hawthorn rust Abundance
How Does Ethnicity Influence Game Design? - remeshed.com remeshed.com Catt Small, of the Brooklyn Gamery and Code Liberation Foundation, and Asia Hoe, working on their five stages of grief action game at Global Game Jam 2014 “My ethnicity affects every aspect of my life, the same as it does for everyone. How I view the world, how I communicate, how I feel and think. It affects your world lens.” – Renee Nejo Over our recent series of articles on women of color in game development, we’ve spoken with game developers from many different backgrounds about their games, accomplishments and advice for up-and-coming game developers. One aspect of the conversations that stood out was the discussion of ethnicity, and how it affected the game developer, and game design. I spoke with twelve developers: five Black women, four Latin/Hispanic women, two Asian women, and one Native American woman. And isolation affects their career. “Imagine going twelve years of your life without working with someone who is the same gender and ethnicity as you are. “I don’t see them.
Make Your Own Wood-Fired Hot Tub Fancy having a hot tub? I’m sure many would, but the expense of buying and running one is just out of the question, especially if you’re trying to stay off the grid. Well here we have the answer – a wood fired hot tub that you should fit in perfectly with your homestead. This fantastic DIY guide was put together by Skiing Magazine and was featured in their February / March 2009 issue. It’s not the easiest job, but building your own wood-fired hot tub can save you thousands of dollars if you’re willing to dig a hole and learn some basic concrete skills. Use a shovel and a pickax to dig a pit, making it at least six inches bigger on all sides than the size of the finished tub you want. Line the pit with plastic sheeting, using roofing nails to tack it into the dirt. Get a professional to help you estimate how much concrete you’ll need. Buy a submergible stove for around $750 and place it in the narrow part of the keyhole pit. You’ll need a way to drain the tub. via MidlyInteresting
