Today, we create a composter from concrete to last for eternity.

This story started with an attempt to repair our damaged swimming pool.

We bough an entire pallet of concrete for the pool repair.

After only one day it became clear that a repair would not be an option and we had to

come up with an idea what to do with the concrete.

We decided to build a composter out of concrete and directly got started with cleaning up

an area in the shade.

After cleaning and leveling the ground we created a frame from an old door and poured

a concrete foundation of one by two meters in size.

The thickness of the foundation is 10 cm and we placed some rebar in the foundation to

anchor the walls.

While the foundation cured we started to create the form for the concrete walls.

The forms are made from pine boards and construction lumber.

The wall thickness of the compost is 10 cm and we want two separate composters on the

platform.

So we are building the inner wall as a box of 90 by 80 cm.

The pine boards are screwed to the construction lumber and the box is reinforced by 4 additional

pieces of lumber so that it can easily support the concrete.

With construction adhesive and silicone we place two 3x3 cm styrofoam strips against

the inner walls.

This will create a recess for the wooden boards at the front to sit in.

We also put some styrofoam at three locations in the lower part of the middle wall so that

compost worms can move from one side to the other.

The outer wall was constructed the same way and we assembled everything on the foundation.

We then spend quite some time mixing concrete, bringing it with a wheelbarrow to the site

and place it in the form.

In total we used about one metric ton of concrete for the build.

In the lower third, around the middle and in the upper third we embedded a 8 mm diameter

steel rod as a ring anchor to reinforce the concrete walls.

After the first compartment is cured we assembled the form again on the right side and poured

the concrete for the second half.

The purpose of the concrete is to keep rats and other rodents out but we have to ensure

proper ventilation - otherwise the compost might turn bad.

We used four seven and a half cm diameter pipes for the venting.

On the CNC we cut a circle in the exact size of the pipe from scrap OSB pieces that we

glue and nail to lumber scraps and thus form a stand.

The pipes are placed in the compost and will provide a proper ventilation.

More air will come through the front.

We cut some of the remaining pine boards to length and adjust their width to 15 cm so

that they close the entire front but leave enough room for spacers between the boards.

After putting these in place the only area to be closed is the top.

For the top we cut 30 by 30 mm angle iron for a steel frame.

The corners have notches cut into them so that we can weld them into a stable frame.

The back corners are reinforced with short pieces of flatbar as we might install there

a pneumatic cylinder to carry part of the weight.

The backside gets a few holes for hinges.

The hinges are hold in place with pop rivets.

We predrill and countersink 6 holes in each frame to later hold the metal sheet roofing

material.

For further insulation we put XPS foam in the frame before putting it upside down on

scrap roofing material we had from another project.

We then drill through the predrilled holes, through the sheeting and secure everything

with machine screws.

From some rubbery insulation material we create or own rubber washers with a hole punch to

ensure a tight seal of the holes.

With wall anchors and a few screws the lids are secured to the walls.

While the overall piece is not the most beautiful it should be a ver functional compost and

hopefully is going to serve us well.

3 Tips to Creating a Social Media Content Calendar - Duration: 4:53.

Hey guys in this episode of the vlog we're gonna really dig into how you

build a social media content calendar whether for yourself or for your

organization and there's three key steps that you've got to take to creating a

social media content calendar.

So let's talk about a Content calendar for social media whether you're using

this for yourself or for your organization the first step that you

need to take in creating your content calendar is to outline. You need to

have an outline of how often you're gonna post and really use a spreadsheet

that kind of lays out a calendar view so you can really say here's what I want to

post and what I want to post. The tool that I recommend and that I most often

use and our clients use is Google sheets we found that Google sheets is a great

tool to use so that other people can post and you

can easily edit and document what changes you're gonna make and so setting

out a grid of here's the calendar and then here's the number of posts we want

to make and then using that spreadsheet to begin to outline the things that

you're gonna post and so there's four parts that we always look at when we're

beginning to build on our content calendar. And so the first thing that we

look at is, diversity what we want to do is make sure that our different types of

posts are different and so we would have so many photos so many videos so many

text-based posts and we would have diversity in the content we're posting

we're also wanted to be diverse in some of its gonna be inspirational some of

its gonna be informational some of it will be conversational some it's gonna be

celebrational. So you have these different types of post you want to make

sure there's diversity in your content and so laying out a grid and then maybe

even color coding it to make sure that that content is diverse. The other

filters that we want to make sure the content is and in that we filter through

as we outline it is we want it to all be creative we want everything we've put

into it is is to be creative in nature and so whether it's text base or photo

base we want to put it through that filter of is this creative. And then one

make sure it's consistent and so we want to make sure we're posting on a daily

basis we have some kind of rhythms but we don't wanna be too consistent where

it looks like we're just running an assembly line on social media and so

finding that balance with creativity and with consistency and that can helps you

to build out that calendar using color coding systems in that spreadsheet that

functionality is key to building out the beginning of your outline when it comes

to building out your social media content calendar.

The second thing you need to do is create it so you've already outlined

everything on a Google sheet or on a spreadsheet and now you need to create

it and so we use Google Docs primarily as a way to just begin to put out your

content in in order and so you can put in that caption and then add an images

or even add in videos and so it's easy to collaborate on a Google Doc so moving

everything from that Google sheet and then developing out it out on a Google

Doc really allows you to begin to see it visualized out and it's easy with Google

Docs they also create multiple Doc's so as you're creating creative for LinkedIn

or Facebook or Instagram you can put it all within those Doc's and just organize

it in a way that is makes sense for you. So using those folders within Google

Drive and then having a Google sheet for everything and maybe even having

different tabs based on the different networks as you mix it up and create

diversity among the platforms but a lot of the messaging is going to be similar

and so then as you pick your Google Doc out of that it really lets you flush out

the creative. So the first step was to outline it the second step was to create

it and now the third step is to schedule it. Now the tool we prefer to use to

schedule it is sprout social but there are lots of great tools out there

whether you use HootSuite or social report there are lots of great

scheduling tools out there. We prefer sprout social but there are many good

scheduling tools but it is important to schedule it out and now that you've

created it to have it all out of that outline to make sure it's all in the

right platform and then be able to check it afterwards. And so you want to make

sure your content strategy you don't want to go through all the work of

mapping it out and creating it all and then not have it scheduled correctly in

at least even reviewing it. And so make sure you have two sets of eyes on all

that content before it actually goes out and by scheduling it all within one

platform it creates a great final place for it to go and know it's going to be

distributed at the right times and in the right places. So there you have it

the three steps to creating a social media content calendar I hope it was

squirtle with different fabrics and stuff but not quite as fuzzy as the Eevee

but it definitely did not have any transparency like Alolan Vulpix feet

so very excited! So we are at Fountain Gate BAB today

its pretty good, I like the size of this store I love the Christmas ones

(Joel: SO CUTE!) So we did name him Prince because thats what Joel decided.

you are looking at him way too lovingly like calm down! *laughter* alright so the

first thing I noticed with this one which I'm really pleased with there is

new transparency and the whites. all the like the fabric is like a soft

like plush material this time which is really good even the bottom here this is

kind of that rougher material but it's not as rough as say the Alolan Vulpix feet

it's not as soft as the rest. (To Joel: you know what I

mean? Joel: its okay) it's it's not quite like a felt but it's like I don't I don't know

fabric that well but overall the color quality is really nice and the builds

really nice we did pick the one that had the pre stuffed head and Joel moved

around the contents of its head before the staff members stuff the rest of it

because it was a little bit lumpy it's still a little bit peak to one side into

the top but we're gonna we're gonna mess around with a little bit to get like the

form to its best but overall this one has like no threads loose it some cuz

usually build the Bears will have one or two loose threads and the shape and the

form of this one is pretty good they can hold Cape kind of aspect of Piplup's

being done really nice the feet are formed really nice like I said no issues

with transparency it's all soft which is great and I like this one highly recommend.

How to Build an In Demand Brand - Duration: 6:32.

(contemporary music)

- Do you want to create more demand for your brand?

Well in this video I'm going to show you

the four steps to make that happen.

My name is Kaye Putnam.

I'm the Psychology-Driven Brand Strategist

and I help entrepreneurs like you

discover their innate brand advantage

so they can scale their business.

(contemporary music)

Before we get into the four steps

let me first give a quick definition

of what I think an in demand brand is.

Now when we think about traditional physical product,

say like a handbag or a purse,

one becomes very in demand if it has an awesome brand

and say like a celebrity is seen wearing it

and then it flies off the shelf of Bloomingdales.

People are literally like waiting in line

to get their bag and they're willing to pay a premium.

So if we translate this into say a service-based brand

like a coach, consultant, course creator,

that type of thing or any other business it's exactly that.

When you have increased demand for your brand

that means that there's more people

who want to work with you than you could possibly fit in.

And the most significant indicator

that you have an in demand brand

is that you are the one that's being pursued.

You're not chasing down your ideal clients,

they're finding you.

They understand the value that you bring and they want it.

This creates a very particular shift of power.

So instead of the power being with the person

who's giving you money to do the service,

it shifts some of the power back in your court

because you get to decide

exactly who you want to work with

and you get to charge the rates that you want to charge.

I think we can all agree that that's a good place to be.

So let's talk about how you specifically

can build more demand for your brand.

(contemporary music)

The first step might sound kind of counterintuitive

because we're trying to influence other people

but it's so crucial that you first know yourself.

So take the time to define your brand personality,

your values, your mission, your vision,

all of the things that are going to set you apart

from your competition.

These are also the things

that attach your product or service

to something that's bigger than what you're selling.

It's not just the product or not just say like copywriting

or Instagram management.

When you can attach what you're selling

to a bigger mission

to something that's bigger than your product

you get to add in more psychological demand

than if you're just selling the benefits and features

of your product.

(contemporary music)

Step number two of building an in demand brand

is to translate what you've discovered to be true

about yourself and translate it into outward-facing cues.

I always like to say build your brand on truth not trends

and this is the key translation process

to make that happen.

So after we've done the work

to figure out exactly who we are and what we stand for,

you have to then translate that truth

into design decisions; content that you're producing

on social media, your website, or email,

however you're showing up; and then also your messaging

so things like tag lines, slogans, headlines,

and even down to the specific words that you're choosing.

Make sure all of that is being born

out of the truth

that you've discovered about yourself in step one.

(contemporary music)

Step number three is to get strategically visible.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it,

did it really happen?

Or if we're talking about a brand,

does a brand exist if it never comes into contact

with somebody who can buy into it?

And the answer is no.

Your brand exists in the relationship that you have

with your ideal clients.

It can't just exist in your head.

You have to get visible

so people start to build a relationship with your brand.

So you don't wanna be everywhere

because you'll spread yourself too thin

but pick the places, the platforms

that are going to get you in front of your ideal clients

and to focus on doing that consistently.

(contemporary music)

And the last step to this process, step number four,

is to offer things that people want to buy.

You might know what people need to buy from you

because you're an expert in your area

but that may not be the same thing that people want to buy.

So it becomes much easier to become an in demand brand

if you're offering products or services

that people already desire.

And I know this sounds obvious

but it is the biggest mistake that a lot of brands make.

And the way to get at this information is to listen,

become a voracious researcher of your ideal clients.

Put out surveys, ask them questions, have conversations,

and listen to the words that your clients are using

to explain their problems and desires.

Figure out the exact and specific reality

that your ideal clients are living in now

so that you can speak directly to that

and offer the transformation

that your product or service gives them.

(contemporary music)

So if you follow these four steps; know yourself,

translate it into outward-facing cues,

get strategically visible,

and to offer things that people want

you can become the next it brand.

If you found this useful be sure to subscribe to my channel,

hit that little bell.

It'll tell you every time I post a new educational video

about psychology-driven brand building.

So happy that you're here.

Leave me a comment, let me know which of the four steps

you're going to focus on next.

How to Build a 5-Year Career Plan Part 1: Finding the Right Path For You | 9 to Alive - Duration: 5:37.

It was a sunny evening and I was having a drink with a lovely friend and

suddenly, out of the blue, came the question, 'Bruna, what's your plan for the

next five years?' I had no idea what to say!

If you too, have no answer to this question, get comfy because you're about

to learn how to create your five-year career plan.

Ciao, it's Bruna here and with the dream team at CharityJob we'll help you turn your 9 to 5 into 9 to Alive. So

here's the question - what's your plan for the next five years? I got stuck, I had

no idea, I never had a plan and I never even thought about it, that's why my

career was a mess. So here's what we are going to do today in this miniseries

we're going to tell you why you need a five-year career plan, what to do in

order to understand where you want to be in five years and how to turn all these

into a project. So let's say that you are an employee in a sort of standard

career path, why do you need a five-year career plan? To get control of

your life! So it's one thing to say one day I'd like to run my own business, and

it's another thing to say, in five years I would like to run my social impact

business and through my passion for boxing change someone else's life, so I

need to search for funding now, as our guest,

Imran did - check out his interview he's really cool.

You see, that's way more than just stating an intention, it's a concrete

plan that sets out a goal and a direction. The thing is if you don't know where you're

going, you'll end up someplace else. Now what's the most important thing at work?

It's being alive! And when do you feel alive at work? When you bring who you are

into what you do, when you make use of your ideas, your values, your vision of

the world, you purpose, your mission, your attitude, your experiences. When you use

all these in your work, when you know your day counts because you are being you,

and you, are making a difference in the world. To get to this point you need to

know three things and we're going to analyse them in each part of this

miniseries. Number one, know what's possible out

there. Number two, know what's really, really important to you. Number three, how

to turn all these into a project. So, number one, what does it mean 'know what's

possible out there'? Well, today there are so many career paths that never existed

before and you can imagine beside the usual traditional corporate roles there

are so many others created by start-ups, non-profit organisations, government jobs,

self-employed roles, so whether you want to stay in your career path or you just

want to change it, you just have to know what's possible today, because it's very

likely that roles that are available today were not available five/ten/fifteen

years ago when you planned your career. Now, can you confidently say that you are

aware of all that's possible out there? So for example did you know you could be

a Happiness Manager? Or perhaps a Millennial Expert? Or what about being a

Brand Employment Manager? So how do you do this research? Here are my suggestions.

Number one, look at the people you know. Is there anyone who has an unusual job?

Contact them, ask them, investigate what they do, what tasks are involved, what

satisfaction and salaries that brings along. Number two, investigate industries

and sectors you know little about. Did you know, for example, that the non-profit

sector has thousands of unusual career paths. If you check charityjob.co.uk

you will see thousands of roles that you probably didn't know existed. There

are roles for example in business development, in finance, in marketing, in

IT, so much that we know little about. So check what personal characteristics

are required, you basically find yourself matching with them. Number three, be

curious! Go on LinkedIn, for example, you can find plenty of unusual career paths.

Investigate them. Do you know what? People are genuinely happy to help. You can

offer them a coffee and have a conversation and ask them 'where were

you five years ago? What steps have taken you to where you are right

now?' Learn from them, and remember at this point you don't have to make any

decision, you just have to get information, gather all the info that you

can, expand your network, get contacts, get in touch with people. Who do you know

that has an unusual job? You can tap into your friends network for example, friends

of friends are a huge resource, you can easily reach hundreds of people. Ask them -

who do you know that has an unusual job that I could contact? So educate yourself

on what's possible out there so you can expand your options, and then ask

yourself, am I still happy in my current career path? Or does it need some

adjustment? In either case, watch our next video because we're going to tell

you what to do next to make a five-year career plan effective for you. So where

are you starting your research? Let us know in the comments, and if you want to

know more on how to create a 9 to Alive career path, check out the link below. See

you in the next video!
