This document provides guidance on using the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method to help rice plants grow better and produce higher yields. SRI involves transplanting young seedlings singly and widely spaced to allow for strong root and tiller growth. Proper soil and water management are also important. Using SRI, farmers in Madagascar have doubled or even increased yields ten-fold compared to traditional methods. The document explains the basic ideas and practices of SRI to help farmers understand and evaluate this approach.
Commerce involves the exchange of goods and services between entities. E-commerce refers to this exchange electronically over computer networks like the internet. It allows buying and selling online and has several advantages like low costs and global access. E-commerce has evolved from early electronic funds transfers between banks to modern online retail. It involves consumers browsing products on a merchant's website, purchasing, and payment processing. The main types of e-commerce are business-to-business, business-to-consumer, business-to-employee, and consumer-to-consumer. While e-commerce provides convenience, there are also risks like inability to examine products and potential credit card theft.

This Permaculture slideshow goes through soil building techniques laid out by Bill Mollison in his book A Designer's Manual. These include earthworks, creating complex and multistoried plant systems, recycling detritus and banana circles, using aquatic weeds biomass, recycling crop wastes and animal manures, designing in hedgerow and mulch plants, and using green manures and ground covers. We also briefly look at housing and energy systems of the tropics.

This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
The document discusses how personalization and dynamic content are becoming increasingly important on websites. It notes that 52% of marketers see content personalization as critical and 75% of consumers like it when brands personalize their content. However, personalization can create issues for search engine optimization as dynamic URLs and content are more difficult for search engines to index than static pages. The document provides tips for SEOs to help address these personalization and SEO challenges, such as using static URLs when possible and submitting accurate sitemaps.

This presentation is linked to our design process that we use for the final presentations of our Permaculture Design Course. It also relates to how we do project development and gives visuals for the design process based on past design work and other students work during this final project period.
Here is a sheet used for cataloguing info about a site as the analysis and assessment phase of the design process unfolds. It includes the client interview, info about the site, and about social systems. It is used in combination with the final design project of our PDC's or separately for general design work.
The design process and project guidelines we use in our PDC's. It is used in combination with our PP on this topic so that students can see visual interpretations as well. It also relies on the Holistic Site Analysis Doc that gives students a framework for cataloguing their analysis and assessment phase.
This is the slideshow i am using now (2013) to open design courses. This part goes over a bit of my background, a bit of history and inspiration for permaculture and its development, and the state of the world. It also begins to explore how permaculture is manifested in the world, which is a reflection of the 14 chapters of the Designers manual which acts as a framework for how the course is structured.
This document discusses the application of permaculture design principles across multiple contexts including re-afforestation, broad-acre landscapes, suburbs, urban areas, food and nutrition, aquaculture, animal husbandry, appropriate technology, housing, and building.

This document discusses edible landscaping through perennial and annual plants, herbs, trees, and berries that provide food and nutritional benefits. It also covers creating sustainable soil through composting, cover cropping, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The document promotes using biological resources like chickens, and infrastructure like trellises to enhance yields while reflecting natural patterns.
This is part 1 of a slideshow i delivered at the mountain homesteading festival concerning the zones closest to the house. It goes over information about landscaping itself and the integration of food plants and the support species to make it a holistic permaculture design. It also addresses soil and water issues. Part 1 focuses on the broad patterns of why and how and the integration of permaculture design. It zooms to more detail on water harvesting and also starts to look at plant selection and arrangement.
This slideshow details the final project of the 72 hour Permaculture Design course. It shows examples from past students as well as integrating the step by step process.
The document describes how earth ships use recycled materials, solar and thermal energy, water harvesting, wastewater treatment, and food production.
