Subject: #GreenIQ Topic: Spring planting! Hello everyone, thought I give you a sneak preview of what I'm busy with in my #backyard. Decided I'm going all #green this year and I've dubbed the momentum as "Green IQ". So, the #springplanting2018 has begun and I'm welcoming the #season with much #enthusiasm. The idea here is to bring forth a simplistic plartform, from which the #urbanfarming #concept will be #born. Places with #confinedspaces such as #townships; #townhouses and #metropoles to name but a few, can #benefit from having #access to #freshproduce in #terms of #health; #conviniency and of cause #economicprospects. But for #now, let's let this #baby #grow and #begin to put that #firstfoot in #front of the other. We will be #watching #closely! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoQ9SJxgYwk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vrkk9upzo2sa
How does a microgravity garden grow when there's no up or down? An advanced chamber, about the size of a mini-fridge, is giving us a clearer perspective of plant growth habits. Without gravity and the addition of a wide variety of light and humidity settings, the plants cultivated on the International Space Station provide a world of opportunity to study space-based agricultural cycles.

How do space plants grow? This experiment on the International Space Station hopes to find out. Space-grown plants look mostly normal, but have some distinct features compared to plants grown on Earth – most notably in the way their roots grow.
Roots evolved to grow “down” to search out nutrients and water, and on Earth, that response is predominantly governed by the force of gravity. But how does a plant know which way is down when there is no “down”? What determines the direction in which the plant’s roots should grow in space?
We are studying the molecular genetic signals that help guide plant growth in the novel environment of spaceflight, including how plants use new molecular “tools” to sense and respond to their environment when familiar signals are absent. What we learn could improve the way we grow plants in microgravity on future space missions, enabling crews to use plants for food and oxygen. This is just one of many petri plates filled with tiny plants from the Characterizing Arabidopsis Root Attractions-2 (CARA-2) that was recently harvest aboard the space station.

Lay down looking up at the cracks in the ceiling.
Like I'm floating is it real or am I just dreaming?
I can see them clearly orchids flower through the gaps
And a pleasant warm feeling starts to grow in my chest.
It's ok to say no.
It's ok to let it go.
It's ok to doubt it
And ok to don't know.
It's ok to feel low.
It's ok if I don't.
It's ok to trust
And ok if I don't
It's ok that I show.
It's ok when I grow.
It's ok to feel hope
And ok if I don't.
Wasted Water
This soil is out of nutrients
carry on my dearest friend
all the seeds bound to decease
there’s no need here for your trees
Try not to loathe, no time to mourn
your heart was always battle-born
Go on and find the fertile lands
carry on my dearest friend
I radiate light
I am sunshine
So please stop trying to tell me
That I need you
When I surely know
You always dimmed my light
So others wouldn’t see my glory
~ excerpts of me moving on ~
I am sorry but I am not going to make it Instead, I will float in the sea of unconsciousness and slowly drown to the sound of your voice I am sorry but I am not able to be yet I will rather remain as an ungrown flower and hide in the shadows hide from the sun hide from the rain only to avoid growing up and to stay a child I am sorry but I am not ready to fall this early because if I fall for you you are not able to catch me and I can't fly yet I am sorry but I am not ready to leave my nest yet I am not ready to fly not ready to grow not ready to be the human you try to see in me
"Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself -- be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself -- by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love -- the more human he is."
Got some cool stuff from 58creativity!

It should not be any surprise that a majority of the Happiest report countries in the world, also have the highest reported intellect, education and success. One such country, Finland, is consistently praised for various reasons. It has great access to nature (including the Northern Lights) and a clean environment, there is a real sense of community as it is not uncommon for people who have lost their wallet to have it returned and high parental leave for all parents; and there is a great freedom to express oneself as seen with the creativity that has pushed design boundaries, created mobile games and metal music.
While not the only foundation of these achievements, another instrument of this success is the love Finland has for their books and public libraries. Noted as the country that takes out/borrows the most libraries in the world these libraries truly are epicenters of the community where new and established residents may learn, explore, think, question and grow

Technology: Transcend and Transform
Technology has become a necessity in most of our society, even those with limited disposable income or countries with lower economies have updated how they function to include smart phones, computers and apps as part of daily or at least common function.
I love libraries has been working on a local libraries ebook (Libraries Transform) where patrons can instantly (if connected to a local library) use their app to download the selected book to read and have the ability to discuss the books with other app users. Along with being a more universal book club that some communities might not have or certain age groups have easy access to, this allows individuals to have larger conversations and may allow for opinions more diverse than you would get to experience in a normal book club. And of course, this allows those who might not have a well equipped or have personal easy access to their library and issues with returning books on time or other barriers to be connected to reading and the reading community.
For the release of this app, the Libraries Transform picked Kassandra Montag’s After the Flood; available Oct 7th - 21st through the Libby app and once you’re connected to your local library

The United Kingdom (UK) somewhat undeserving, and somewhat deserving, has a reputation and overall appearance of being sophisticated and intelligent, worldly and exquisite. Another one of the top countries overall in various global lists of the most educated and intelligent, the UK also presents itself these just by the beauty of its institutions and that are intertwined within their communities.
Separate into four countries, probably the most historic, paired and well-known institutes are the University of Oxford and University of Cambridge which have been promoted throughout media culture in classics such as A Tale of Two Cities, Pride and Prejudice and more contemporary stories as A Discovery of Witches and Wilde. Adding to the prominence placed on this type of institution, the Belfast Library in Northern Ireland is located on Royal Avenue, and has expanded the education selection to a well-equipped music section all by itself that contains the music along with books about music throughout history. The Newport Central Library is part art gallery, museum and library in Wales. Being a larger infrastructure this library is a successful tourism spot possibly because of the focus on local communities with a large emphasis on community activities for children, film screenings and local dialect and history. Unfortunately, sometimes the historic presence of libraries can get lost or drowned out by the prestige of the surrounding community. While the New York Public Library may not be anything grand, its architecture compared to the surrounding environment make it stand out. However, with its cobblestone roads, local castles and older feel many are likely to mistake the Library of Edinburgh as just another building, completely passing the opportunity to visit the reading room or art pieces placed throughout that connect locals to their history.
The UK puts library and education at the top of its priorities, so it’s place and presence as a world leader while smaller than in the past is still properly recognized and deserved.

I Am Mother Nature’s Daughter
He may destroy my beauty
As he makes his dirty mark on the world
Which he believes he owns
He may scar me and pave over me
Twist and yank me to make me do what he wants
He can get under my grass dress
But oh
What he does not know
When I fall asleep
In my bed of moss
I can hear spirits whisper in my ear
I dream of warriors dancing around a fire
And it makes Wounded Bird feel protected
Knowing that I belong to mother nature
And that she never quits
She just keeps coming
Though she may be slow
I can see her rock cracking strength
Her ability to sink boats,
And create typhoons, tornados, tidal waves, tragedies and tsunamis
The way she grows and heals
And always takes back the steering wheel
And I ask for the universe to be nice to me
