How to Grow Food Year-Round:
A walipini is an underground or partially buried greenhouse that uses the earth’s thermal mass to keep temperatures stable year-round. With a plastic or glass roof, it harnesses passive solar energy, reducing the need for heating and cooling, making it efficient even in winter climates as cold as -20°C (-4°F).
Key benefits include energy savings, water management (with proper drainage and rainwater collection), and low-cost construction using local materials. Built facing the equator for maximum sunlight, a well-insulated walipini maintains internal temperatures of 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), perfect for year-round growing.

"Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being" by Neil Theise
In Notes on Complexity, Neil Theise delves into the interconnected nature of life, consciousness, and the universe through complexity theory. He presents complexity as the organizing force of existence, where simple elements combine into dynamic, interdependent systems—from cells to ecosystems. Reflecting ancient spiritual insights, Theise suggests that understanding these patterns can deepen our sense of unity, purpose, and consciousness. This book is ideal for those intrigued by the intersection of science, spirituality, and the mysteries of existence.

Impressive images of the Notre Dame restoration in Paris - France 🇫🇷, as the long-awaited reopening is set for December 8th, with a special ceremony on the 7th
Fifteen million visitors are expected—and the bells have already begun to ring!

The Notre Dame bells rang for the first time since the April 2019 fire and church on track to re-open on December 8, 2024.
In past 5 years, 250+ companies and 100s of artisans worked to restore the 861-year old cathedral based on medieval building plans:
▫️Arch Roof: Over 2,000 oak trees from French forests used to rebuild roof (using medieval ax cutting techniques).
▫️Transept crossing: Ultrasonic scans were used to see how medieval masonry work was done and arch was rebuilt stone by stone (stonecutters used traditional techniques).
▫️Grand Organ: Frances’s largest organ had its 8,000 pipes removed and cleaned.
There are some necessary modern touches, including a new water-misting system in roof to fight future fires.
The reconstruction efforts funded in large part by ~$1B from France’s 3 richest families (LVMH, Kering and L’Oreal).
