water globe

Yes. They will water your plants for many days.

They claim:

"Easy-to-use, hand blown stained glass Aqua Globes water plants efficiently for up to 2 weeks.

It麓s the most beautiful and fully-functional solution for automatic houseplant watering ever.

The globes are filled with water and inserted into the soil of houseplants."

They're really pretty, too. I've been meaning to buy a few for my outdoor patio plants. I've heard that you should be careful though, b/c plants that do not appreciate moist soil could fall victim to root rot.

I have only seen them available for online-purchase… Hopefully if they're not already, they will be in stores soon.

The oceans cover over 70% of Earth's surface. In the tropics, ocean water absorbs heat from the atmosphere. As the warmed water is carried north by surface currents, immense amounts of stored energy, in the form of heat, are transferred from one part of the world to another, contributing to weather and climate patterns. For example, the Gulf Stream carries warm water far up the eastern coast of North America, and then swings east, towards Europe. The warm water of the Gulf Stream heats the air above it, creating a warmer climate for Iceland and western Europe than would otherwise exist. Thermohaline currents also carry stored heat from the tropics to the mid-latitudes.

Oceanographers and climatologists are still exploring the important relationships between the oceans and their currents and ongoing global climate change due to greeenhouse gases. Much of the heat resulting from global warming is being stored in the oceans, according to scientists, thus delaying part of the surface warming global climate change theorists have expected to see as the result of human-induced increases in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The heat being stored by ocean waters will contribute to warming trends throughout the world as the water is circulated by oceanic currents.

Oceans store a large amount of heat, so that small changes in ocean currents can have a large effect on coastal and global climate. Currents carry enormous amounts of heat north and south.

Ocean currents create different climate zones – in fact, its not too much of a stretch to say that ocean currents may be the most influential factor in micro-climate development.

In general though, currents are thought to moderate climate by circulating warm and cold water around the globe.

It's hypothesized that without any ocean currents, large portions of the world would have radically different climates than they do

Mold or mildew has grown inside the ball. Probably because some part of the decoration or water wasn't completely clean, and the bacteria has had a long time to grow.

You won't be able to drill a hole big enough to drain without ruining the ball, but you should see that the bottom is sealed with plastic. Take the music box out of the bottom, you'll see a plastic seal. If you puncture and remove it, the water will drain out, and you should have enough room to rinse and let it dry. Many are still pretty displayed 'dry', but I have not yet found a good way to re-seal them.

I have considered canning wax (used for making jelly and jam) which you can buy at most grocery stores. You would fill the globe with water, stabilize it so it doesn't tip, and then pour the melted wax over the openings. It takes several hours to cool and harden, but if it works for jelly, it might work for water.

Opened a few murky snowglobes myself.

You could get several watering globes to stick in the pot. Or put it outside and let mother nature water it. I'd place it in a semi-shady location in case of drought.Are you friendly with your neighbors? Maybe ask one of them to water ir and keep it outside while you are away?

The olympics is an international, worldwide event. If we allow them to compete, how can we deny them the ability to host?

That water globe cube looks awesome anyway!

All of them are right. When we go to visit my family in Mexico, we tie a bag of water over the table since it is an open air kitchen and it keeps the flies away. It does work. You sometimes will see some of the people in the open air market tieing them up above their fruit, meat, or seafood stands as well. It works well also for bees. I have lots of flowering plants all around my front porch and to keep the bees away from the front porch I have some beautiful hanging water globes around to deter them from coming up near the seating area. They are clear because colors do not work. Colors attract, clear scares them. Nothing superstitious about it.

The question is not only a technical one but also a philosophical one: What is human consciousness?

Is an infant conscious? Yes. Is an ape conscious? I think so. Is a dandelion conscious? Most will say, no. Yet when spring comes and I mow my lawn, the dandelions remember exactly the height of the blades and the next flowers grown right under that height!

Is it consciousness? Intelligence? And if not; where in evolution consciousness appeared? Progressively? And from what?

You can prove a believer in Intelligent Design that yes, evolution can make a human eye to "pop up from the skin." Photosensitive cells are found on many primitive forms of live in the sea. Subsequent stages of deepening of those cells, closing it in a globe of water and the forming of a transparent lens are still here to prove that, by simple natural selection, an eye can be formed.

But the brain and consciousness is a different matter. Is a chimp aware of his existence? Is a modern computer aware of its existence? How could we know?

Of course, we could use a computer to simulate the human brain. Of course we could ask then that computer if it is conscious but … how would we know? Perhaps we programmed that computer to be friendly and answering, yes, is being friendly, isn't it?

I once read an article titled: We remember the future. Of course, we don't but evolution gave us memory only to be better prepared for the future. If we meet a lion, it doesn't matter if we remember the colour of its eyes. It only matters that we remember that next time, we have to run and fast!

So, unlikely computers that can each time get from memory say, an image, exactly the same, our memory is not very good at remembering and that's why we make poor witnesses as it has been proved in several law suits.

In fact, unlike computers, each time we remember, we have to do the same connections between our neurones as we did the first time. It never happens twice the same way and that's why two different people observing the same event, will remember it differently.

The moon pulls the waterpool of the earth. If you pull it on one end (high tide) the sides of the pool of water on the globe will narrow (low tide) and at the other end it's high tide as well, because of the dynamics of the water. Compare it with a balloon filled with water and push on the sides. The amount of water stays roughly the same, it just redistributes around the globe.
Because the moon moves around the Earth, the pull on the water moves as well. This cycle repeats roughly every 24 hours, but not totally as the tides gently move on from their timeslot each day.
Not always will the city be spared though: narrow canals can push the water high up (River Severn UK for instance) at high tide. The English Channel is also relatively narrow. A storm once pushed the water into this narrow Channel down to the south. At the same time it was high tide. The amount of water breached the defences and there was a flood.
The turn of the tides is remarkably abrupt. I once went fishing up a river and the tide was coming in. The boat was anchored. Suddenly the boat turned round and the tide was literally turning.

All water globes do this. Don't know why. You might be able to take the base off and refill the globe but you risk breaking the whole thing.

A wax rose inside of a water filled globe. It was a gift from my mother, and I thought it was awful. I lost my mom to lung cancer 16 months ago. I wish I had kept the rose. It wasn't about the beauty or ugliness of the gift, it was a red rose meant to tell me I was loved. I looked too quickly. It wasn't what I held in my hand, it was what mom held in her heart. I let go too quickly.
