The first church made with live trees

Making wooden cabins could be an obligatory activity in the childhood of any infant.Many are the little ones who have dedicated a large part of the afternoons and weekends to collect materials and build a shelter, without having to have a instruction book for this.To finish corroborating it, in this Lifestyle entry we talk about how a church with live trees was built, nothing more, nothing less! Do not miss it!

A church built from live trees

Barry Cox , decided to build a church with live trees, as expressed: “I left home through the back door and I thought: that place needs a church,” so Cox began building the building with trees in April 2011.The location was near Cambridge, in New Zealand, the same location where it I record the famous triology of "The Lord of the Rings."

To begin with, the walls were created with an Australian tea tree , thanks to its thick foliage and its color that is similar to that of the stone, I recreate the environment that the space required.The interior of the church was decorated by a lot of trees and flowers , like birches, roses and camellias.For about 4 years, Barry Coz managed to make his dream come true and today he can boast a live church, which breathes and continues to grow, with capacity for more than 100 people.

Barry's main idea was to reserve the church for his own use , have a secluded and quiet place to meditate, but I can not resist the request of his nephew who asked permission to marry in the tree church.Then, other relatives, friends and partners outside they enjoyed this temple for a few minutes, so the artist decided to give in to the proposals and end up opening the church to the public .He has even created a website to present it.

And you? What do you think of this story? Would you create a house or any other building with trees? If you found it interesting, you can also read «The most terrifying churches in the world».

Without ethics you will not become an excellent professional. Science says

It is a common place in very competitive professions that ruthless and unethical people usually do better than individuals with scruples.This may be true in certain careers, or in certain societies that do not give higher priority to results that the way they are achieved. What does not seem to be true is that an ethically questionable person can become an excellent professional, or at least that is the opinion of the neuroscientist Howard Gardner . Without ethics you will not become an excellent professional.Science says it The American Howard Gardner is also a Harvard professor, psychologist and with a long career full of awards, such as the Principe de Asturias award; but Gardner is especially known for his theory of multiple intelligences, in which he proposed the existence of at least seven types of intelligence : logic-mathematics, linguistics, musical intelligence, space, kinetic-bodily, intrapersonal and interpersonal.

Are murderers born or become it?

Have you ever wondered why there are people who kill and others don't? Do you think murderers are born or made ? In other entries of Lifestyle we talk about why serial killers exist, but this time we want to present the results around the investigations about whether people who kill are this way of birth or acquire qualities that make them kill with the passage of time. Science after more than 100 years investigating it has found a possible answer.Apparently, homicides are born and at the same time they are made. A mixture of brain and education Dr.Cesare Lombroso, known as the father of modern criminology, who investigated criminals imprisoned in Turin in 1870, confirmed that criminals were a level below evolution , being like a setback to primitive man.After years of study, this doctor could identify a murderer by physical traits, but detecting potential homicides was not as simple as he expected and his studies were little validated .

4 attitudes you should adopt urgently

"Life is a play that does not matter how long it has lasted, but how well it has been represented." Lucio Anneo Seneca, who is credited with the phrase, when reflecting on the importance of living, not on how much be alive.Juan Luis Urcola Telleria commented in his book Right to live: “ It is not about adding years to life, but about bringing life to the years .A life makes perfect sense when it is still He feels that one who has things left to do, when one is still able to get excited about them.” One should not be in a hurry to live intensely and accumulate positive experiences, as if we were living in an illustration of Mr.Wonderful.But if by changing the habits and attitudes to be happy, it is nothing more than learning to value the details of the day to day, the beautiful and the simple of being able to wake up in the morning, feel that there are things to do and be able to share them with someone.
