The document discusses PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) programs in Florida that were created by the state legislature to create jobs, save property owners money, and reduce energy use and costs for consumers. It specifically describes PACE programs in Collier County that allow property owners to borrow from county funds to pay for energy efficient and hurricane hardening improvements. The loans are repaid through assessments over 20 years, and the reduced energy and insurance costs are meant to outweigh the loan and assessment costs. The programs are said to create construction jobs, cost property owners nothing while saving them money, not cost taxpayers, and reduce both energy costs and use.Referrals

The document discusses two emerging models of ecosystem protection, preservation, and restoration: game-ranching and community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). It describes how devolving ownership of wildlife to private landowners and indigenous communities in countries like Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe led to millions of hectares being restored through ecological succession. These sustainable use models have been more successful ecologically and economically than top-down regulatory approaches. However, some concerns remain about game ranching and CBNRM programs.HESSEI

Prof. Leonel and Prof. Dennis approached educational uses, practices, and strategies of using immersion as a lens to interpret, design, and planning educational activities in a sustainable way. Rather than one-off gimmicks, the intent is to enable instructors (and institutions) to be able to include them in their regular activities, including the ability to evaluate and redesign them.
Immersion as a phenomenon enables interpreting pedagogical activities in a learning-agnostic way: you take a stance on the learning theory to follow, and leverage immersion to envision and guide your practice.june 10 2025 ppt for madden on art science is over.pptx

Chaulukya or Solanki was one of the Rajputs born from Agnikul. In the Vadnagar inscription, the origin of this dynasty is told from Brahma's Chauluk or Kamandalu. They ruled in Gujarat from the latter half of the tenth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century. Their capital was in Anahilwad. It is not certain whether it had any relation with the Chalukya dynasty of the south or not. It is worth mentioning that the name of the dynasty of the south was 'Chaluky' while the dynasty of Gujarat has been called 'Chaulukya'. The rulers of this dynasty were the supporters and patrons of Jainism.FIRST DAY HIGH orientation for mapeh subject in grade 10.pptx

Wheat, sorghum, and bajra (pearl millet) are susceptible to various pests that can significantly impact crop yields. Common pests include aphids, stem borers, shoot flies, and armyworms. Aphids feed on plant sap, weakening the plants, while stem borers and shoot flies damage the stems and shoots, leading to dead hearts and reduced growth. Armyworms, on the other hand, are voracious feeders that can cause extensive defoliation and grain damage. Effective management strategies, including resistant varieties, cultural practices, and targeted pesticide applications, are essential to mitigate pest damage and ensure healthy crop production.Overview of Employee in Odoo 18 - Odoo 際際滷s
