So today I went to play some music on my iPhone 5 and could not hear anything coming out the speakers despite having the volume cranked. I didn't have headphones plugged in yet when adjusting the volume it showed clearly the headphone volume on the screen.
To fix this issue I took the end off a Q-tip and left a small bit of cotton, enough to clean the connectors inside the 3.5mm headphone jack. After inserting and spinning the head of the q-tip inside the jack hole I removed the q-tip to discover a large amount of lint and small bits of dirt had collected on the end.
You will find that it takes careful planning and practice.
At the end of each day check your inner self and plan to have a great day tomorrow.
There is only happiness inside yourself.
You must find it and bring it with you.
You cannot find happiness in things. You are Happiness. You are Love. You are Creation. You are Amazing. You are Beautiful. You are Star Dust. Have a great day. Tip if you want more positive vibes!
So I have started using a combo of tea that does amazing things for the body. The combo is:
1 Bag red reishi tea
Sea buckthorn leaf and berry are great together in tea
1 Tsp of Yarrow Flower
It is a tea that will give you over all feeling of wellbeing and does wonders for the skin, hair and nails as well as aids digestion. It also helps with cardiovascular health and boosts the immune system. Over all it will make any day a good day for the body and mind. Thank you for reading and I appreciate comments and would love to hear what your favorite tea combo is.
"Human bodies are symphonies playing to the conductor of the day. We are moved by the motion of the earth. So one is never still. We are always changing. We only need to observe in silence to see this. The way is not the way. The name is not the name. What is named is not it's name. It is intelligence. It is here as you are here. We name things and call them that name. We may call it another name and would it not still be the same intelligence? So what is a name? A word? Fiction? The nature of a human body should be its name or are our names really just the first lie about us that we learn to tell? If you were named after your nature what would your name be?" ~ Spencer Calvert
A bioshelter is a solar greenhouse managed as an indoor ecosystem. The word bioshelter was coined by the New Alchemy Institute and solar designers Sean Wellesley-Miller and Day Chahroudi[1]. The term was created to distinguish their work in greenhouse design and management from twentieth century petro-chemical fuelled monoculture greenhouses.
New Alchemy's pioneering work in ecological design is documented in their published Journals and Reports. In 1976 the Alchemists built the Cape Cod Ark bioshelter and her sister The Prince Edward Island Ark. For the next 15 years the New Alchemy Institute studied and reported on the use of these prototype food producing ecosystems.
A bioshelter (life-shelter) involves two fields of knowledge and design. The first is architecture designed to nurture an ecosystem within. A bioshelter structure uses glazing to contain and protect the living biology inside, control air exchange and absorb energy. The building exchanges nutrients, gases and energy with the surrounding environment, produces crops, and recycles waste organic material into the soil. [1] Solar energy is stored as heat energy in thermal mass such as water, stone, masonry, soil and plant biomass.
The second is the biology inside the bioshelter. in 1978 Earle Barnhart of the New Alchemy Institute has compared a bioshelter to a contained ecosystem.[2] The structure of the bioshelter and the thermal mass inside moderates the air temperature. Solar heat is absorbed and stored for later use. Water moves through the soil and plants. Year-round habitat is provided for beneficial insects . Ecological relationships between pests and their predators reduce the number of pests. Gases are exchanged among the animals, insects, micro-organisms, soil and plants. Within the bioshelter are a variety of microclimates. The south central areas receive the most direct sunlight. The north, east and west areas are shaded for a portion of the day. Nutrient cycles are developed between fish, plant & soil. A well-designed bioshelter, managed by human intelligence, can shelter a community of people, food crops, edible fish, and a diverse ecosystem of plants, animals and soil life.

If you have not bought this book yet then you should do it now. It is such a wonderful read. Life changing, short verses and deep meaning. It pulls you in and captivates you right up untill the end with timeless brilliancey of wise poetic trueths. I wasn't able to put it down till I read all 103 short pages. I felt enlightened and overjoyed with how simpley and elegantly this stuff read. I want to share this book with everyone I know. It has deffinately made it onto the top 10 list. Written around 500 B.C. it has endured for thousands of years. You will find yourself going back to this book again and again.
In 1968 Stewart Brand launched an innovative publication called The Whole Earth Catalog.It was groundbreaking, enlightening, and spawned a group of later publications.
The collection of that work provided on this site is not complete — and probably never will be — but it is a gift to readers who loved the CATALOG and those who are discovering it for the first time. http://www.wholeearth.com/index.php
